While Social Security recipients
can breathe a sigh of relief, employees of the administrauon that
provides the benefits are scurrying
to cover their bills as the government shutdown concludes its second week.
"The most immediate impact of
this shutdown, unlike the previous
furlough, is that employees are on
the job, but they're not getting
paid," Jim Kelly, Social Security
district director for the Big Sandy
Area said. "They're greatly concerned about it. They've got bills
and obligations that need to be
paid."
Federal employees won't be
paid for duty after December 15,
will receive a half of a pay check
next week because the federal government pays two weeks after the
check is earned.
Kelly said he is attempting to
secure short-term signature loans
for employees through the federal
credit union.

Adult and child are bitten,
animals not suspected rabid
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Two people were bitten by stray
animals earlier this week, but rabies
is not suspected in either case.
That's according to John Bailey,
• public health environmentalist with
the Floyd County Health Department
"We have one of them in quarantine, but it's just a precaution," he
said. "We're still looking for the
other."
The incidents occurred December 26. Bailey said his records show
an adult was bitten by a stray cat
and treated at a local doctor's office.
In the other incident, an 11 -year-old
child was bitten by a stray puppy.
"We have the puppy in quarantine, but we haven't found the cat
yet," Bailey said.
The animals, if stray and once
found, are quarantined for ten days
to watch for signs of rabies.
"Any time anyone is bitten and it
is reported, it comes to us," Bailey
said. "We contact the owner of the
animal and ask that they quarantine
it. In the case of a stray, the person
who has been bitten has to be responsible for the quarantine because the animal shelter won't keep
the animal."
He said, in most cases, doctors
will wait the ten days before starting rabies vaccines on an injured
person.
"But if they can't find the animal, normally the doctor will go
ahead and start the series," he said.
In the last ten years, there have
been only two confirmed cases of

New year, old woes
for Martin council
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
In the coming year, Martin City
officials are going to have to find a
way to generate some new revenues in order to make the bond
and loan payments for the city's
new sewer system.
At Wednesday's Martin City
Council meeting, Flo Bartrum, a
certified public accountant who
performed the city's 1994 audit,
told council that approximately
$65,000 in additional funds will
need to be generated by the city to
meet the bond and loan obligations
due in 1996.
Bartrum told council that they
were "lucky" this year because
there was enough money left in the
construction account for the sewer
system to meet this year's financial
obligation.
Councilman Steve Farthing
commented that he thought an increase in the city sewer rates in
1994 was imposed in order to generate the necessary funds to make
the payments.
Bartrum explained that the
sewer department could probably
stand on its own, but that over the
years, about $75,000 in sewer payments had been retained in the

continue."
Damron asked the board for a
time frame and Brackett and board
member Phyllis Honshell responded, "ASAP."
After the meeting, board member Eddie Patton said that board
members "obviously have questions that need to be answered that
we didn't pick up on their applications."
"We need to have complete information about the candidates,"
Patton said. "Then we will continue
discussions on the candidates recommended by the committee."
Brackett declined to offer
specifics about Damron's task, but
he did say that as soon as the attorney completed the checks, a special
meeting would be set to continue
discussions.
Damron told board members
that he would try to obtain the information requested over the New
Year's holiday.
city's water department. She also
said that general fund monies had
also been used to supplement the
water department.
Mayor Alan Whicker said he
wanted the council to know "where
we're headed in 1996" and that
"the bond people are not interested
in our dilemma, they want repaid."
City clerk Johnnie B. Stephens
told council that state officials
"kept asking" when the water department would reimburse the
sewer department and general
fund.
"It's illegal to loan another department money unless it's paid
back," Stephens said. "The state
keeps asking if the water department is paying money on the
loans."
Stephens added that "what's not
been brought out with the water department is that there has been no
increase in water rates since 1982."
Council also examined a printout of inactive water department
accounts which showed that more
than $35,000 is owed to the city in
past due accounts.
For the past two years, council
has been trying to untangle the finances of the city's water depart(See Woes, page two)

contain a 2 .6 percent cost-of-living
raise.
"This raise had already been
budgeted," Kelly said. He said the
increase is about the same as it has
been in years past. In 1994 it was
2.6 percent. In 1995 it was 2.8 percent.
Medicare recipients will be paying a lower premium. The rate paid
will drop from $46.10 to $42.50 a
month, Kelly said. He explained
that the rate was $41.10 in 1994 and
was increased last year because of
potential budgeting problems.
"Apparently the budget problem
wasn't as bad as they thought,"
Kelly said.
This is the first time since
Medicare went into effect in 1966
that the premium has lowered,
according to Kelly. "When it started
in 1966 it was $4."
And while many of the 40,000
people in the Big Sandy area who
receive Social Security and SSI
benefits will be pleased their
checks are on time despite the budget controversy going on in
Washington, Kelly said the residents of the country should look
beyond the money issues.
"We're going to have to look
beyond our pocketbooks," he said.
"What we're seeing is our way of
government in action. We need the
diversity of opinion among the
Congress and Senate and the president. That's the reason we have the
country we have today."
He said residents of the United

"There are countries where this
wouldn't be a problem because
there would be one person dictating

"There would be no federal workers

He said people should think
about the time of year and "count

Court--------------------and threatened his wife with physical injury if she told of his role in
the crime, Branham said. Donna
Harmon also told police that her
husband took along his girlfriend
on a pre-honeymoon trip to
Gatlinburg.
The couple also reportedly
passed forged checks in Ohio,
Tennessee and other counties in
Kentucky, Branham said.
Donna Harmon used the name
Melanie M. Dean on a false identi-
fication and obtained checks in her
name which Donna Harmon forged,
Branham said.
Melanie M. Dean worked with
Donna Harmon at a Fazoli's
Restaurant
in
Georgetown,
Branham said, and Dean had reported to Georgetown police that her
purse had been stolen in September.
Dwayne Harmon boasted about
how much his wife looked like
Dean, Branham said Donna
Harmon told them.
A store clerk at C & H Rauch in
Prestonsburg, where one of the
forged checks was passed, remembered that Donna Harmon was trying on weddmg bands and that
Dwayne Harmon was present when
his wife passed the check, Branham
said. The pair were married on
October 28 or 29, the officer said.
The checks were passed on October
2.
Clerks at Martin's Department
Store told police that Donna
(Continued from page one)
Harmon and another woman were
acting "flashy" and "brash" and that
they did not notice if Dwayne
Harmon was in the store with them,
Branham testified.
Dtstrict Judge James Allen
referred the case to a grand jury and
denied a bond reduction request by
Dwayne Harmon 's attorney, John
Coleman.
Dwayne Harmon is being held in
the Floyd County Jail on a $50,000
cash bond.

Interim superintendent Ed

said.
"Hopefully, by that time we

Those finalists are: Jerry

ture Sunday, Monday, and
Tuesday," he said. "I think we're
looking at a rain or mixture event.
It really depends on the track of the
low."
Perry did say the tert)peratures
are expected to warm up to the 40s
for daytime highs.
"And we will break this cloud
pattern," he said. "When the upper
level flow is from the northwest,
we are usually stuck in the clouds.
That's going to change."
Unfortunately our cloudiest
month is yet to come. According to
Perry's records, 90 percent of, or at
least 25 days in, January will be
cloudy.
And what about temperatures?
As snowfall days have increased,
temperatures have fallen.
"The temperatures, while not
real cold, have been below normal," Perry said. "For December,
we averaged daily highs in the 40s
and night-time lows in the 20s.
Since the 20th of December, we've
been at least ten degrees below normal for a 24-hour period."
He said December started out
with temperatures in the 60s. Those
temperatures fell around December
8 to a month-low of 20. They were
back up to the 60s by the 15th and
were above normal through
December 19.
Clark council to

The Clark Elementary schoolbased decision making council will

Filing papers not accepted
until redistrict plan enacted
Secretary of State Bob Babbage
said his office is unable to accept
candidacy filing papers for legislative races until the General
Assembly enacts a legislative redistrict plan.
The General Assembly meets in
regular session beginning January
2. The filing deadline for races on
the May primary election is 4 p.m.
January 30.
The Kentucky Supreme Court
ruled the 1991 legislative reapportionment plan invalid and directed
that no legislative elections could
be held after January 3, 1995 until
new legislative district boundaries
are determined by the legislature.
"This action prevents the
Secretary of State from taking candidacy papers until new legislative
district boundaries are drawn,"
Babbage explained.
The court action applies only to
races for the I 00 seats in the
Kentucky House of Representatives
and the 19 seats in the Kentucky
Senate which are up for election
next year.
Other offices up for election in
1996 include the President and Vice
President, one U.S. Senate seat,
Congress, some local school board
seats, and two-year term city offices
which were last elected in 1993.

How to find people
from public record
Every day thousands of people
are searching for other people.
Some are adopted children looking
for birth mothers, others are looking for missing spouses, their
ancestors or missing friends. Many
people think these searches require
expensive private detectives or
other professionals. In most cases
this is not so. In most cases these
detectives get their information
from the same public records that
you can use.
A new book by Robert L. Berko,
executive director of the non-profit
Consumer Education Research
Center, has written How to Find
People With Information from
Public Records to help amateur
searchers in their quests for missing
persons or birth parents. The book
is available for $19.95 from
Consumer Center, 1980 Springfield
Ave., Maplewood, NJ 07040 or by
calling 1-800-872-0121.
Many searches are as simple as
looking for the name in a database
with the names of all telephone
records in the United States. There
are several computer programs that
contain this information. If you
don't want to go to this expense,
Mr. Berko's organization has a
database of 80 million records and
can do the search for you.
Other public records that you
can use are marriage, death,
divorce, voter registration, Post
Office, Motor Vehicle, Selective
Service military and many more.
The book will not only show you
how to determine what records you
need, but lists the names and
addresses of the offices where these
records are held.
If your problem is a missing
spouse who is in arrears on child
support, every state has a Child
Support agency that will do most of
the searching for you even if your
spouse is in another state. The book
lists the addresses of th1 Child
Support office for every state.
For those searching their roots,
there are many sources of information through birth and death
records, the national archives which
has records of all other agencies.
They have Indian Records going
way back and even records of black
slaves owned by Indians. In addition they have land records, passenger lists, naturalization records,
passport records, and much more.
The address of all the Regional
Offices of National Archives are
listed as well as their computer
online address.
Increasing numbers of people
are looking for parents. For those
searching parents who moved
away, the quest is usually not difficult. For adopted children looking
for birth parents, the search is very
difficult. They have no name to
start their searcll because birth and
hospital records are changed to
reflect the name of the adoptive
parents. But don't lose hope of finding your birth parents. There are
records that are not changed and
ways to find the true facts behind
the altered records. In addition
there are several hundred organizations that can and will help you in
~our search. These organizations
provide advice from people who
have made and assisted many successful searches to locate birth parents. How to Find People with
Information from Public Records
includes the names and addresses of
these organizations as well as tactics for making your search successful.
Many people would like to kiww
what is in the files kept by government agencies such as the FBI; the
book contains all the rules that govern getting documents about yourself or any one else.
Also included are form letters
for requesting information and even
forms for appealing when the agencies don't give you the information
requested.

Extra take home pay
available with tax credit
Some employees can increase
their monthly paychecks by as
much as $105 by simply filling out
a one-page form.
Taxpayers who claim the earned
income tax credit on their federal
income tax return may want to consider asking for the credit to be
issued in their paychecks instead.
That's done by completing a Form
W-5, "Earned Income Credit
Advance Payment Certificate" with
your employer.
Generally, working families who
have a total annual income of less
than $24,396 and a child living with
them for more than half the year
can take advantage of the advanced
payment option for the earned
income tax credit.
For many working parents
receiving the advance payments in
each paycheck can make a difference in paying rent, buying groceries and meeting other day-to-day
needs. However, taxpayers who get
the advance EITC in their paychecks must file a tax return at the
end of the year to report the amount
advanced.
Taxpayers who have questions
can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

�Couch
decision
a good
one.... for
Kentucky
##

Jl
f

t
I have to admit, I predicted it. I
thought that Tim Couch, Leslie
County's much recruited quarterback, would make the University
of Kentucky his ~~~----.
college home.
I, like thousands of other
Kentucky fans,
am glad, elated,
bubbling over and
just plain happy Ed Taylor
over his decision. Sports Editor
There has to be that relief from
pressure that being in the spotlight
brings to a young man who has
just set a new national high school
passing record. I think he handled
it very well and could have named
his school.
The folks down in Tennessee
are probably saying another one
got away (Ron Mercer was the
other), but this time to Kentucky's
football team.
Can Couch make a difference
immediately? Can he tum a lameduck program around? Will his
early commitment to UK spur others to follow suit?
February is the month high
schoolers can sign with the college
of their choice. Manual Merritt
had already committed (verbally)
to UK, but has had second
thoughts. Maybe with Couch coming out early, Merritt will stay with
his original choice.
Another question. What about
Billy Jack Haskins? What will be
his future with the Cats? Will
Haskins move to a receiver slot?
Still more questions. Will Moe
Williams make the jump from the
college game to the NFL? Can he
be persuaded to return for his
junior season?
UK's 4-7 finish this year was a
good one for a team that went 1-10
the previous season. Coach Bill
Curry has to be all smiles these
days and he cannot make a public
comment - better not ·make any
private ones either- until Couch
actually signs the letter-of-intent.
I am glad that he chose UK over
Florida, Tennessee and Notre
Dame.
Basketball fans will get a
chance to see Couch on the hardwood when Leslie County visits
Allen Central February 6.
According to Allen Central
Athletic Director Dave Bowlen,
Leslie County wanted to pull out
of the contract to play Allen
Central. Bowlen told them that it
meant a big gate for the school and
now the gate will probably be even
bigger.

In talking with Allen Central

about the idea, but I thought it was

Baker, Pittsburgh Pirates scout; Rob Taylor,
former minor league catcher; and Brown

Maytown
round ball
handling
gives win to
Caney
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It is one thing for a high
school basketball player to try
and imitate the pro player or
their college hero, but when it
starts filtering down into the
grade school ranks, watch out.
The Maytown Wildcats were
turnover happy against Caney
Tuesday night in the opening
game of the "Dog" Campbell
Invitational at Allen Central
and the Wildcats found themselves on the short end of a 3423 setback and elimination .
Caney converted several
Maytown turnovers into baskets
in picking up the win and
advancing on to the semifinals.
What it came down to for
Maytown was too much behindthe-back dribbling (or trying to
dribble back there). Nathan
Goble lost the ball three times
on such moves and Caney came
up with the steal and a basket
on each turnover. Ditto for
Richard Brown. He lost the ball
twice on such maneuvers and
the Cardinals converted one of
the miscues.
Nick King tossed in 20
points to lead the Cardinals to
their Il-point victory. Richard
Collins added five points and
Trevor Slone netted four.
Tim Davis led Maytown with
nine. Brown finished with
seven and Goble hit a threepointer. Stevie Bailey scored
two and Jeremy Hayes had two
points.
(See Maytown, page 6A)
for the second player in same family.
Parents or coaches may attend and go
through the clinic with the players for a $I5
fee.
Players will receive hand-out materials,
camp T-shirts, free gifts and a baseball
experience they won't soon forget. The·
camp will deal with concentrated hitting,
fielding, catching, pitching, professional
prep, outfield play, base running, weight
training plus much more.
Campers are urged to bring their own
glove, bat and tennis shoes and not miss the
opportunity to learn the game of baseball
from the best.
For more information, contact Paul
David Brown at (606) 789-3532 or (606)
789-6469.

Herald Whitaker Middle School
(Magoffin County) went on a 9-1
run in the fourth quarter to open up
a 47-32lead over the Duff Bulldogs
and coasted to a 53-36 win over
Duff in the second game of the
"Dog" Campbell Invitational at
Allen Central Tuesday night.
Duff just went through the
motions in the second half and
seemed to be disorientated on
offense so that Herald Whitaker
opened up a 38-31 lead after three
quarters.
It was a nip-n-tuck affair in the
first 12 minutes of the game with
each team alternating in the lead.
Duff led 11-10 after the first quarter
and took a 23-22 lead to the locker
room at the half.
But when they returned to the
floor to start the third quarter, it was
a lifeless group who forgot how to
play man-to-man defense.
Duff had to play the game without starter Shawn Henson who was
benched for an altercation in a previous game. Henson had a spot on
the bench but did not find any playing time.
Barrett Caudill led Whitaker
with 15 points and Nicholas Arnett
added 11.
Rodney Bentley was the only
Duff player to reach double figures
with ten points. Brent Slone, who
missed several in close, finished
with eight points. Leslie Slone
added seven.
The game was tied four times at
2, 4, 6 and 29. The lead exchanged
hands ll times.
With 3:02 to play in the game
coach Ronnie Patton emptied his
bench. The Bulldogs appeared glad
to be coming out.
A rebound basket by Slone started the Bulldogs on a 2-0 lead and
they led one other time in the first

Bulldogs in front 15-12 with4:14to

was a three-point, 17-14 lead as
Duff managed to hold the threepoint edge. Arnett scored on a play
inside to narrow the margin to one
point, 23-22 at the half.
Slone, who had only one point in

A Look at Sports -(Continued from page 5A)
Wayland gym is not property of the school board anymore,
but I would say something could be worked out. I understand the new owner of the gym is renting the facility out to
independent basketball teams.
Former Allen Central guard Jeremy Hall saw some playing time this past Saturday when Wisconsin beat WisconsinMilwaukee 94-63. Hall scored 14 points in the game, hitting
four three-pointers.
The Betsy Layne Bobcats are getting some second
glimpses from regional fans as they are 5-2 on the season.
Coach Junior Newsome has his ballclub playing very well,
winning the Greenup County Invitational. The Bobcats are
the best rebounding team I have seen this season, despite
their lack of size.
Former Prestonsburg Lady Blackcat Jamie Ratcliff was
back in town during tpe Christmas break. Ratcliff is seeing
some playmg time at Lincoln Memorial and said she is
beginning to enjoy her first season in college ball. "It's a lot
different than high school," she said. "It was rough at first."
I have noticed a big improvement in officiating in high
school basketball this year. There is a real need for top officials today. I still contend that the best regional referee's
come from Floyd County.
Let's bring in a shot clock? That has been the feelings of
many. The way teams play today, one is not needed. Nobody,
I mean nobody, holds the ball anymore. Now days, it is to
see which team can run the fastest and the longest. Sorry, no
shot clock needed.
South Floyd will be the site of the girls' All-A regional in
January. Good choice. Prestonsburg will host the boys' 15th
Regional basketball tournament in March. It will be the first
time since '89 the tournament has been held here.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year.
Until Wednesday, good sports everyone and be good
sports. Don't forget to take the kids to Sunday School and
church this Sunday.

Missed block
Brandon Shepherd {45) of Herald Whitaker Middle School just missed
blocking the shot of Duff's Ryan Manns {3) last Tuesday night at Allen
Central. Duff's lack of aggressiveness in the fourth quarter cost the
Bulldogs a 53-36 setback. (photo by Ed Taylor)
Base line move
Bulldogs-Herald Whitaker reclaimed the
lead on baskets by Caudill and
Scottie McCarty's rebound basket
at 3:18. Duff led 27-26 on two
charity tosses by Bentley, but
Ruben Arnett buried a three-pointer
to send Herald Whitaker in front
29-27. The game was tied at 29-29
for the final time. Herald Whitaker
went in front 31-29 on an inbounds
play by McCarty and never relinquished the lead.
The pressure defense of Herald
Whitaker forced Duff into several
mental mistakes and they ran out to
a 38-3llead after three quarters.
In the fourth period, Duff was
caught flat-footed several times as
the 9-1 run by Herald Whitaker
opened up a 47-32 lead.
Rod Scott came off the bench
and scored five points for Duff.
Heath Scott had two points as did
Wes Vanderpool. Jeremy Rister and
Steven Dalton scored one point
each.
McCarty finished with eight
points for Herald Whitaker. Ruben
Arnett tossed in six and Brandon
Shepherd scored four. Williams had
three points. Jerry Helton, Evan
Dyer and Jason Back scored two
each.
The third quarter was devastating to the Wildcats as they
scored on one field goal in the
period, a three-point basket by
Brown. Caney scored the first
14 points of the third period and
raced to a 29-12 lead. Brown's
basket came with six seconds to
play in the third stanza and
Caney led 29-15 after three
quarters.
Maytown couldn't handle the
Caney press and twice in the
third period Brown and Goble
had the ball stripped away and
the Cardinals scoring on easy
baskets.
Maytown stayed close to
Caney in the first half with the
game tied at 7-7 after the first
quarter and the Wildcats down
15-12 at the half.
Davis gave Maytown the
first l~ad of the game at 2-0.
Con sec uti ve baskets by King
and Jeremy Jenkins gave the
Cardinals a 4-2 lead, but King
scored inside and Goble buried
a
three-pointer
to
send
Maytown in front 7-4. Richard
Collins converted two free
throws and Jason Slone hit one
to tie the game at seven.
The first eight points of the
second quarter belonged to
Caney as they extended their
lead to eight, 15-7, with King
and Trevor Slone scoring two

was GQd's time, and we had to
accept it. The day of God's
appoint ed timetable, when
Jake would be taken from us in
death. It was not a time, it
would seem, to think about
funeral arrangements, and
saying goodby. How could this
be the right time?
It was the right time,
because it was God's time.
It was time for Jake to stop
suffering.
It was time for Jake to spend
Christmas with Jesus.
It was the right time,
because GQd never errs.
GQd knew Jake's work was
complete. GQd knew what He
was doing. Jake is home for
Christmas.
It was time, GQd's time.
Jake is absent from the body
but present with the Lord,
beholding his Redeemer, the
Christ whom he adored.
God's timing is perfect even
in death.
Sadly missed by
your loving family

The Floyd County Times
Saga continues over county road upkeep
by Christopher Hunt
The Appalachian News-Express
What first appeared to be a simple misunderstanding has turned
out to be another episode in the
saga of conflict over how the county maintains roads.
Earlier this year, Carol Napier
and Larry Thacker of the
Concerned Citizens for Pike
41t County lobbied to change how the
county can choose what roads it
maintains and succeeded in getting
the county's administrative code
rewritten.
Napier addressed the Pike
County Fiscal Court Monday,
December 18, concerning a bridge
being built to Phillips and May
cemeteries at Kimper.
"It appears from our inquiry that
the bridge has never been petitioned to be adopted into the county road system," Napier said. "By
what authority did the road depart-
ment authorize work to be done on
the bridge?''
Magistrate Hilman Dotson said
too much was being made of the
bridge.
"We were just trying to help the
community with some old steel
without any expense to the county.
I am under the impression that all
public cemeteries are in the county
road system," Dotson said.
Napier outlined what Dotson
should have done concerning the
construction of the bridge in a written statement:
"Mr. Dotson should have first
obtained a petition; second, he
should have presented the petition
to the fiscal court for consideration
to be adopted into the county road
system; third, the court, upon
receipt of the petition, would then
ask the road commissioner, Lacy
Blackburn, and two viewers to
view the road/bridge being petitioned and report back to the court
in writing their findings ."
Napier said neither she nor her
group opposed the building of a
bridge and that they thought it was
desperately needed.
"All I'm saying is, it would be a
safeguard for us (the county and
local citizens) for this court to have
some type of petition on file declaring this a public cemetery, so that if
the people (the owners) were to
say, 'You can't go over there anymore,' then there will be something
to protect all parties involved,"
Napier said.
Dotson said he had gotten an
easement to the cemetery. He also
explained that a group of citizens
had asked the fiscal court for help
in crossing the creek below the
cemetery. Dotson said he then
arranged to donate some steel taken
from a bridge on Raccoon that had
been dismantled.
"We gave them the steel, and
they are going to buy the lumber
and do the work themselves to help
maintain that bridge," Dotson said.
"It's not going to be a big expense
on the county. I think if we can't
help citizens to get in and out of a
cemetery when we have material
lying around, then I don 't need to
be here."
Dotson then appeared to become
annoyed with the discussion, commenting on the motivations of
Napier's group.
"Anybody that would be against
something that would help the
community, would help people get
to a cemetery and they have relations buried there, I don't know
what to think about them," Dotson
said.
"There's nothing further from
the truth than to say we (Concerned
Citizens for Pike County) don't
have compassion for any person
who has to get to that cemetery,"
Napier said.
"When these people came
before the court, why wasn't a petition gotten then? That's the key."
"The only time you all are here
is to complain," Dotson said. "I
never hear you say anything good
about what this court has done.
Why don't you ever come and say
'You've done a good job?"'
"I have personally written a letter to the News-Express," replied
Napier. "The court records will
indicate that when you did what
you did for our road I came back
here, as I said I would, I would
thank you. And I did do that."
Dotson later admitted in an
interview the county had worked
on the bridge and that the citizens
who approached him had helped
with the construction.
Dotson said he had gotten a petition in an effort to correct the oversight.
However, Bob Justice, who
owns the property the bridge is
being built on, said while he has no
problem with the bridge being
built, he has not signed any documents agreeing to allow the county
or anyone else to build a bridge.
Thacker said he had spoken with
Jerry Layne, of Hurricane, who
said he had asked Dotson before
the Kimper bridge work had started
about the county possibly improving the road to another cemetery,
and that Dotson had told him he
needed to submit a petition to the
fiscal court.
"I can't recall a Jerry Layne,"
Dotson said. "It's a possibility I
spoke with him."
Pike County Judge-Executive
Donna Damron said while Dotson
"put the cart before the horse," his
intentions were good and that an
honest attempt .was being made to
correct the problem.
Magistrate Eddie Harris made a
motion to adopt the road into the
county road system, which was
approved unanimously.
HOuse· packed at
Pike public hearing
by Kim Stacy
The Appalachian News-Express
A packed house attended a public hearing Tuesday, December 19,
to voice opposition to a state-mandated facility management plan for
Pike County schools.
Under the plan, two high
schools and three middle schools
would be built and six elementary
schools closed over a 20-year period at a cost of about $105 million.
The biggest controversy of the
plan is the consolidation of three
high schools into one new facility.
Millard, Peds Creek and Elkhorn
City high schools would be consolidated at a new facility to be located at the Cumberland Valley site.

Pikeville residents oppose re-zoning
b~
Kim Stacr
The Appalachian News-Express
Pikeville residents on a section
of Third Street and Scott Avenue
can rest their minds, at least for the
time being, about a proposed
change to rezone the area from residential only to commercial.
t1
Pikeville City Commission
members voted Thursday night to
go against recommendations by the
Pikeville/Pike
County/Elkhorn
City Joint Planning commission to
make the change to accommodate a
business interested in purchasing a
home in the area to open an interior design business.
Residents were very vocal at the
hearing regarding their desire to
keep the area zoned as residential
only. One resident has lived there
for 23 years.
"My home is there and we're
concerned about rezoning it to
allow a commercial business,"
Jackie Pinson said. "It's one of the
only residential areas left in the
dty and I'm concerned we '11 lose
that identity. There are plenty of
places to put businesses in the city,
but there's not a lot of places to put
a home.
"It's a residential area and we
want to keep it that way. When it's
zoned commercial, then it's commercial, and who's to say what will
go in there sometime in the future."
Dr. Orville Clark, another lifelong resident of the area, asked the
commission to vote against the
change.
"A majority of residents that
will be affected by this change does
not want it," he said. "They do not
want or desire zoning change.
Once a change is made, then it's
about impossible to reverse it.
"Don't do this to us, don't make
us (anything other than a residential area). Don't open our street to
commercial business. We do not
want to turn a residential area into
a commercial zone."

Also addressing the commission
were Randy Roberts, who is selling
Sabrina
the
home,
and
Weddington, who wishes to buy
the home and convert it to a business.
"This business would only
affect Scott Avenue and there
would be a minimum of traffic
problems," Roberts said. "This
would allow an established business to expand and stay in the city.
The entire area on Scott Avenue is
filled with businesses.
"Adjacent property owners have
no opposition to the change. The
entrance on Scott Avenue would be
used for a commercial entrance.
This change would also provide
clarity to the city map."
Weddington addressed such
issues as the business could be sold
within one year to an unwanted
business and her desire to move a
business into the area.
"I would not make this type of
investment if I didn't plan on staying there for any length of time,"
Weddington said. "I've talked with
the residents on Third Street and
only two were very vocal about
being against it.
"The home is of historical
value. There are a lot of people in
that area, but they've been very
warm and open to me and what I
want to do with this property."
, The vote on the recommendation was 3-1-1 in opposition to the
zoning change. The motion was
Education, said at the hearing the
state board of education would vote
on the plan in February.
"Basically what we've done is
ask each district to formulate a policy, submit it to the local board of
education and then submit it to the
state," Dundin said. 'Then, if the
state approves it, it will send an
approval letter back to the local
superintendent."
Each local plan was developed
by a local planning committee.
Each of these plans is then combined with other plans across the
state to create a master facility plan.
Following the December 18th
hearing, the last in a series of four,
the state department will then complete a report of comments made at
the hearings. A staff report will also
be completed by January 8.
made by Walter Blankenship and
seconded by Sharon Clark.
Blankenship, Clark and Kenny
Blackburn voted "yes" to deny the
proposed amendment, Gene Davis
voted "no" and Mayor Steve
Combs abstained on the vote.
A Paintsville FBI agent was presented the Commander's Award for
Public Service by the District
Engineer of the Huntington Corps
of Engineers, Thursday.
Agent Steven A. Stacy received
a medal and plaque "for his courageous act of successfully rescuing
four victims of a capsized boat
from Paintsville Lake."
Colonel Richard Jemiola presented the award during the ceremony.
On April 29, 1995, Stacy was
.
boating on Paintsville Lake,
approximately one mile upstream
from Paintsville Lake Marina,
when he noticed a capsized boat.
He then maneuvered his boat to
the location of the capsized boat
and saw two males (one adult and
one small child) on top of the boat
and two females in the water clinging to the boat's side.
Observing the possible presence
of hypothermia in all four victims,
Stacy threw them flotation devices
and immediately dove into the
freezing lake to help them to safety.
After assisting the two males
into another individual's boat who
had stopped to help, Stacy helped
the two females into his own boat
and transported them to Paintsville
Lake Marina.
At the marina, the females were
treated for hypothermia by E.M.S.
personnel, who then took them to
Paul B. Hall Medical Center in
Paintsville for additional medical
treatment.
Pike Sleep Disorders Lab accredited
Pikeville Methodist Hospital's
Sleep Disorders laboratory has
received full accreditation from
the American Sleep Disorders
Association.
Dr. R.V. Mettu, Medical
Director of the Sleep Disorders
lab, and Sally Stamper, Director
of Cardio-Pulmonary, were notified of the accreditation during
the last week of November.
"Receiving accreditation is the
final step in achieving excellence," Dr. Mettu said. "The lab
must be accredited to prove that
we are doing an excellent job."
Pikeville Methodist Hospital's
Sleep
Disorders
laboratory
opened in June of 1994. The lab
has studied 250 patients and "a
majority of the patients are now
being helped through different
treatment modalities," Mettu
said.
"We are very pleased with the
response and the results from this
new service," Stamper said. "We
knew there was a need for sleep
studies in Eastern Kentucky, but
we have been extremely excited
about the number of patients who
have been helped through this
particular lab."
When the lab opened, space
for two patients was constructed,
but only one room was opened.
Now,
Pikeville
Methodist
Hospital is in the process of
opening the second room.
"We are pleased that the hospital's Board of Directors has
decided to fund the opening of
the second room," Dr. Mettu said.
"When the lab opened, the room
was constructed and was available. The only thing that is left to
do is to decide which type of
equipment we want to purchase."
A sleep study is performed
during the night on the seventh
floor of the hospital. In order to
be properly monitored, patients

Isaac remains
free on bond
Convicted child molester Gallie
Isaac Sr. has never spent a day in
jail, and it's questionable whether
he ever will, the mother of one of
his victims said.
Circuit Judge Stephen "Nick"
Frazier ruled last Thursday that the
78-year-old Isaac, a Lawrence
County preacher, will remain free
on bond while he appeals his recent
conviction on 13 counts of sodomizing four boys who attended his
church.

Keaton man accused of
killing dogs
A criminal complaint was filed last week against a
Keaton man for allegedly shooting and killing another
man's dogs.
A summons was issued for Joe Wilson, 61, to appear
January 8 in Johnson District Court. He is charged with
second degree cruelty to animals, according to a citation.
In the complaint, Ed Lyons said Wilson shot and
killed one of his dogs November 22 on the Wilson
property at Keaton.
Wilson also shot and wounded another of Lyons'
dogs, and there were two witnesses to the incident, the
complaint said. - The Paintsville Herald

their property assessments lowered in the appeals
process.

bills will be based on $10,454,000 in assessed property that wasn't lowered by local appeals board. About
$30 million worth of property was appealed, he said.

Tax district to hold election
Three members appointed to a board of trustees for
a fire tax district have set a public meeting to elect four
other members, just beating a deadline for the loss of
fire and rescue services.
The board was established when the fiscal court
passed an ordinance to set up the district, which will
levy and receive a 5 cents per $100 worth of property
tax each year. Members of the board, once in place, will
decide how to spend the $27,000 in annual tax money
raised.
One option is to contract with the city of Louisa for
fire and rescue services, which they plan to stop on
January 9 unless some kind of agreement is reached.
City officials decided last year to discontinue service outside the city limits unless they receive some
form of reimbursement. In the past, the fire department
had a voluntary $25 per year subscription fee, but officials said people had all but stopped paying them.
Final approval was received last week from the
Kentucky Department of Education for the recent bond
sale to finance the Pike County Central High School
Athletic Complex.
Tentative approval was also given for plans for the
gymnasium project at Pike County Central High
School.
The two projects are the completing stages for the
school.
The athletic complex will incorporate a football
field, baseball field and a running track, and will cost
about $2 million.
Although the gymnasium will take longer, plans are
on tra..;k f')r that facility as well.
Total cost for this project will be about $4.5 million.
-The Appalachian News-Express
Under state law, it is illeg..l f"r the city to provide a
service out of town at the expense of c1ty tuApayers, and
officials felt continuing service of the area just out of
town would be illegal unless they were reimbursed.
A deadline for January 1 was set as the cutoff date,
but the Louisa City Council extended that deadline last
week to their next regular meeting on January 9.
The three members appointed to the fire tax district
board - Phillip Carter, Laban Young and J. Lynn See
-set up a meeting at 7 p.m. January 4 at the Lawrence
County Courthouse to elect four others from the district.
Written nominations can be made to the Lawrence
County Clerk's office up to January 3. All written nominations must be signed by two property owners who ·
are residents within the district.
Nominations will also be taken at the public meeting, and then four people from the nominees will be
elected to serve on the board.
This group will then ·decide whether to use the
money to contract with Louisa, put the money toward
establishing a volunteer fire department or come up
with an option of their own.

Legendary band to appear at Appalshop

Back with a vengeance

f
Following up on the release of a new live double album entitled "The Goose Is Loose," the legendary band is coming home to Kentucky where
it all started 25 years ago. Led by Floyd County native Charlie Gearheart, Goose Creek will appear in concert on January 13 at 7:30 p.m. at
·the Appalshop Theater in Whitesburg.
The Goose Creek Symphony will rock in a new
year of entertainment .on Saturday, January 13
when they appear in concert at the Appalshop after
a nearly two-year absence.
The legendary rock band of the 60s and 70s is
back artd ready to rock and roll. Floyd County
native Charlie Gearheart and his gang have been
itching to get back to the mountains of East
Kentucky where it all started and play for the home
folks.
There couldn't be a better place to see Goose
Creek than the Appalshop Theater. It's a small intimate space with great acoustics that lets everybody
Americans at war in Bosnia? End of the welfare
state? An African American as the most popular man in
the country? Those may have been the most visible
stories of 1995, but now for the really important news:
the most disturbing (though underreported) stories of
the year, direct from the daily papers:
MAYBE CINDY CRAWFORD
WEARING ONLY A BLUE BERET?
The New York Times reported in January that
among Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali's
suggestions for greater U.N. recognition in its 50th
anniversary year was an advertisement featuring a
beautiful woman in an expensive car driving by the
U.N. building and exclaiming, "Ah, the United
Nations!"
FROM THE ASHES OF
TRAGEDY•.• COMES STUPIDITY
Three weeks after the Oklahoma City bombing,
police in Halifax, Mass., charged Robert Brinson, 28,
with assembling a so-called fertilizer bomb to blow up
his ex-girlfriend and her family. However, police said
Brinson's bomb could not have exploded-since
Brinson had mistakenly used potting soil instead of
" fertilizer. The week before that, state police in
Tennessee charged Jack Allan lies with telephone
harassment after he called in a bomb threat to the office
of the state attorney general in Nashville. According to
the employee who received the call, lies threatened to
deliver an Oklahoma City-style bomb but then asked
for directions to the office.
AGGRAVATING THE
ALREADY-ANGRY MALE
In April, trustees of the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., reaffirmed

in the audience be close to the band.
For those who don't know Goose Creek, they
are at the heart of southern mountain rock, an ultimate party band, and actually have something to
say as well. Their lyrics are unique. Their music is
intricate and dynamic. The musicianship of the
band members is superb. Combine all these elements and you are guaranteed a great evening of
rock and roll.

One week later, in the seminary's annual Francisco
Preaching Awards competition, the top three finishers
were Ms. Kimberly Baker, Ms. Mary Beth McCloy
and Ms. Dixie Petrey. The previous month, Bob Glaser
filed a $5.4 million lawsuit against the city of San
Diego, Calif., for the "emotional trauma" he suffered at
an Elton John-Billy Joel concert. Some women,
thwarted by long lines for their restroom, were using
the men's room, and Glaser said he was "extremely
upset" at the sight of a woman in front of him at a urinal.
GIVE GENEROUSLY SO WE CAN WIPE
OUT THIS CRIPPLER IN OUR LIFETIME
Writing in the February Journal of Clinical
Psychiatry, two Wisconsin researchers concluded that
nose-picking does not create problems for most people, but that for some, the habit "may meet criteria for
a disorder-rhinotillexomania." Among their survey
findings: 65.1 percent used the index finger (vs. 20.2
percent little finger and 16.4 percent thumb), and
"Once removed, the nasal debris was examined, at
least some of the time, by most respondents."
THE YEAR IN DNA
In July, a judge in Denver ruled that a mother and
her current boyfriend could have temporary custody of
her 8-month-old twin girls, even though DNA tests
revealed that the boyfriend fathered only one of the
two. (The other's father is the woman's estranged husband; experts said she must have ovulated twice during
a single cycle and had intercourse with both men during that cycle.)

sentenced to 5,000 years in prison on each of six
counts of rape of a 3-year-old girl-and that the sentences run in sequence. Said the prosecutor of this man
who would not be free until the year 31995 A.D., "I
don't know if we'll get more 30,000-year sentences or
not, but [this one] was deserved."
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT THERE
BEING NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA?
In March, eight Connecticut legislators became ill
with diarrhea and stomach cramps at a reception sponsored by lobbyists for the Connecticut Food
Association.
BRILLIANT MINDS AT WORK (I)
Terence Cunningham, a Palo Alto, Calif., Unitarian,
embarked earlier this year on what he estimated was a
$70 million fund-raising campaign to build a rocket
ship and lunar landing vehicle for the purpose of placing an indestructible copy of the Holy Bible on the
moon . There, Cunningham told the newspaper
Mountain View Voice, the Bible would be preserved
against tampering or in case civilization is destroyed
on Earth from plagues, wars, or, in his words, "acts of
God."
AND IN MARCH, THEY'LL
HAVE AN OFFICE ON K STREET
The trade association of legal prostitutes in
Canberra, Australia, announced in August that it would
launch a boycott of French underwear, hosiery and
cosmetics in order to punish France for resuming
nuclear-weapons testing in the South Pacific. And in
February, the Prostitute Information Centre in
Amsterdam began offering a six-day course, for
around $160, on how to practice the trade in the
(See Weird, page six)
t was December 31, 1995. A bent and broken man was leaning on his cane at the corner of Broadway and Seventh Avenue in
New York City anxiously awaiting the arri val of
the New Year. From amid the throng of celebrators gathered at Times Square, he observed a
small figure waddling toward him, wearing a
1996 banner and carrying a bottle of milk.
" 1995?" asked the New Year (for it was certainly no one else). "Is that really you?"
"It's been a rough year, 1996. As soon as I
pass on the year to you, I' m going to find that
Kevorkian guy."
"If I'm going to look as bad as you at the end
of the year, I'm not going to take the j ob," the
New Year said.
"You have to take it, 1996. I had to grow up
myself this year," 1995 said impatiently.
"Well, you certainly didn't do it gracefully."
" I couldn 't help it ! People did this to me."
"The way I heard it, you brought most of this
on yourself. You started with a scandal in
Washington by saying the Republicans were
going to do away with Medicare and Social
Security."
"I didn't even know about that until Dole started spouting off about cutting the budget."
"Then you started that big stink over
Whitewater. Only time will tell if you botched
that job up or not."
"The only Whitewater I ever heard of before I
took this job was somewhere in Colorado."
"I believe you, 1995. But who else will history
blame if it can't blame you?"
"They could blame it on Clinton. He's been
blamed for everything else."
"Maybe they can blame it on Newt."
"They already blamed Newt for Bosnia. And
they can't blame it on Sonny Bono because they
already blame him for being Sonny Bono."
"Now listen here, 1996," 1995 said. "You have
to take the job. It's destiny, it's fate ...."
"It's bologna. And speaking of bologna, I don' t
think I should be responsible for a year that is
expecting grocery prices to rise. It's bad enough
that I have to start the year with higher interest
rates. And to top it all off, the whole world is still
in turmoil over OJ's acquittal."
"I suppose the people will lay that on me, too."
"It was your year, 1995," the New Year said,
as he adjusted his diaper. "How much does this
job pay anyway?"
"You were expected to receive a raise in
January, but it seems that the government might
still be on furlough."
"That figures."
"This year wasn 't a total loss. I did manage to
get the remaining Beatles back together again.
That should be a plus for me."
"Before you start patting yourself on the back,
1995. Remember that all people don't like to
think they're the Beatles sans George."
"Didn't I do anything right?" Father Time
cried dismally. "I did let Kentucky get to the
NCAA Championship."

WillTE MAN'S BURDEN
There's no doubt about it. John Travolta is sizzling
hot these days after his triumphant career resurrection
in "Pulp Fiction." Given his choice of roles, it's easy to
see that he's mostly making the right ones. This film,
though, is an exception.
In this highly-original film, racial roles as we know
them are reversed. The movie takes place in the Los
Angeles of today. However, it is blacks who are in the
majority and who hold all the power. Whites are in the
minority and make up the underclass of society-the
unemployed or underemployed, the disenfranchised,
the poor, the menial laborers.
Travolta's character is a man named Louis, a hardworking factory employee living in a humble home in
South Central L.A. with his wife and son. Struggling to
meet the mortgage payments, Louis falls behind and is
faced with eviction. His employer, the wealthy factory
owner, Thaddeus, (Harry Belafonte) provides the counterpoint. He lives in posh ·Beverly Hills in a mansion,
has a socially correct wife who is active in· charity work
(helping out poor white kids), and wants for nothing.
What he doesn't know is that his son is dating a white
girl. His wife worries about his reaction when he discovers what's going on.
Sent on an errand to the boss' house, Louis accidentally catches a glimpse of the boss ' wife in her underwear. Thaddeus catches him and goes ballistic. All his
racial hatred and stereotypical thinking bubble over.
Lambasted by the boss, the supervisor who sent Louis
out on the errand summarily dismisses him.
Frustrated beyond bel ief, Louis goes back to the
mansion and kidnaps Thaddeus. The remainder of the
film focuses on the interaction between the two men as
they drive around aimlessly.
The premise of this movie is unbeatable. However,
despite the heroic struggle by both lead actors to make
this work, it just doesn't quite get there. I think if the
director, Desmond Nakano, had broadened his scope a
bit, he would have come away with a more successful
offering. As it is, what we have are two brilliant performers by actors who were not served well by the
material. My rating: **.

WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM
IF CHINA HAD SUNDAY
MORNING TALK SHOWS
Chinese dissident Liu Gang, 34,
was arrested in September in
Liaoyuan and charged with failing
to honor a court order that required
him to report to the police periodically and infonn them of his latest
thoughts.
PEOPLE NOT LIKE US (I)
After filing a missing persons
report in April on his wife, Leasa,
Bruce Jensen, 39, learned that
Leasa was really feminine-looking
Felix Urioste, 34, who had convinced Jensen to marry him in 1991
after a single sexual encounter dur~
ing which Urioste remained
clothed.
CLOTH'S MAKE THE MAN
In an August story on improvements to the Seattle waste treatment
plant, the Seattle Daily Journal of
Commerce reported on the
Vancouver finn that manufactures
the hard-shell diving suits used by
the "pilots" who jump into the
tanks and monitor effluent flow.
The suits provide air for up to 48
hours, contain voice and video connections .to the surface, and have
thrusters for propulsion throughout
the sewage. The long-standing
brand name of the diving suit is The
Newtsuit. (Republicans should
relax; the suit is named after the
finn's founder, Phil Nuytten.)
BRILLIANT MINDS (II)
Early in the year, Chesapeake,
Va., inmate Robert Lee Brock filed
a $5 million lawsuit against Robert
Lee Brock-accusing himself of
, violating his own religious beliefs
and his own civil rights by getting
himself drunk enough to engage in
the various crimes that resulted in
his imprisonment. He wrote, "I
want to pay myself $5 million [for
violating my rights] but ask the
state to pay it in my behalf since I
can't work and am a ward of the
state."
PEOPLE NOT LIKE US (II)
In August in Leonia, N.J., Kevin
Simpkin, 27, was arrested and
charged with stealing a Snapple
beverage delivery truck while
dressed in a Snapple driver's unifonn and Snapple T-shirt. He had
recently been fired from his job at a
Snapple office because he was
allegedly stealing inventory. After
interviewing him, police Lt. Arthur
Greiner said that Simpkin "just has
an uncontrollable appetite for
Snapple beverages."
A LITTLE NAFTA PROBLEM
THAT PEROT OVERLOOKED
Last fall, the resume of the
newly appointed Mexican secretary
of education, Fausto Alzati, came
under scrutiny. Alzati claimed to
have a doctorate from Harvard, but
when challenged, Alzati's office
conceded that he had only a master's degree in public admimstration. A month later, his office said
that actually, he did not have even a
bachelor's degree. In January,
Alzati resigned, admittmg that he
LEAST COMPETENT
PERSON
Bowling Green, Ohio, student
Robert Ricketts, 19, had his head
bloodied in May when he was
struck by a Conrail train. According
to
the
Bowling
Green
Sentinel-Tribune, he told police he
was trying to see how close to the
moving train he could place his
head without getting hit.
PEOPLE NOT LIKE US (III)
A Chicago Sun-Times wire service report in April identified a
Chinese boy, Zhang Zhuo, 12, as
having just set a record by reciting
from memory the value of pi (the
ratio of a circle's circumference to
its diameter) to 4,000 decimal
places-a feat which took him 25
minutes. However, tw0 months earlier, a Seattle Times wire service
story had identified a Japanese
man, Hiroyuki Goto, 21, as having
captured the world record-to over
42,000 decimal places a feat which
took him more than nine hours.
ANOTHER GOOD REASON
TO BE GLAD THE COLD
WAR IS OVER
In February, the defense minister
of Sweden acknowledged that the
"Russian submarine" intrusions
into Sweden's waters that had so
preoccupied the military for the last
three years were actually only the
activities of frolicking minks. On a
brighter note, according to a
January report in Jane's Defence
Weekly, Sweden's military has
developed a prototype igloo able to
sustain a shelling by 155mm
artillery. Construction material, i.e ..
ice, is cheap and abundant, and,
Jacking metal, the structures (which
would be offices, hospitals and
helicopter bases) are invisible to the
sensors that guide "smart bombs."
BRILLIANT MINDS AT
WORK (Ill)
In 1992, an adviser to Russian
President Boris Yeltsin proposed
that emergency relief food and supplies could be placed in the nuclear
warhead housing of an SS-18 intercontinental ballistic missile and
fired into remote areas of the world
as humanitarian aid. That suggestion was not accepted, but the
!TAR-Tass news agency reported in
June that an SS-18 launched from a
nuclear submarine near Murmansk,
across nine time zones, delivered
l ,270 pieces of mail to Kamchatka.
AND THE MOST
DISTURBING STORY
OFTHEYEAR
In
June,
Northwestern
University in Evanston, Ill., hosted
the
first
International
Tuba-Euphonium Conference. One
composition included a crescendo
that called for 750 tubas to play at

Lady in White refused his gift and
love-and history began to repeat

gift. Sami fell ill, forcing Carrie and
Austin to cancel their party. Wait To
See: Stefano plans to get John out
of the way.

GUIDING LIGHT: Blake
warned Hart about Roger. Later,
Hart invited Bridget to the New
Year's Masquerade Ball. Josh got
an order barring Reva from seeing
Marah and Shayne. Roger was
shaken when Hart said they could
never be anything but enemies.
Frank and Nell urged Levy to keep
on Marian's case. Meanwhile,
Marian (Brent) panicked when he
heard Alan-Michael say Susan
would soon come out of her coma
and identify her assailant. Brent
snuck into the Ball in disguise.
Frank found a body near the docks.
Wait To See: Reva makes an important decision.
ONE LIFE TO LIVE: Dylan

from Bass. However, at that
moment, Marty was talking to Bass,
but while she didn't reveal anything
about the sheet music, she confirmed Quilligan was part of the
Special Branch. Bo's doubts about

.NATASHA'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
It's party time in the beginning of
the week. However, you take some
time to reflect on the coming year
and come to some fine resolutions.
Try to stick to these.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
You're feeling very introspective
now as you take stock of what
occurred last year and look forward
to this new year. If something is
weighing you down, now is the
time to eliminate it and start anew.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
It's a time of fresh starts and looking forward rather than dwelling on
the past. A close friend is surprisingly philosophical and can help
you come to some lasting resolutions.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Romance lights up your New Year
celebration. Soon, however, it's
time to come back down to earth
and tend to tasks at hand. Domestic
interests are highlighted, especially
over the weekend. Shopping, cleaning and laundry are all part of your
agenda.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feel
free to stay home instead of carousing early in the week. You won't
regret it and won't feel as if you've
missed anything. While those.
around you nurse their sore heads,
you are able to tend to business
with a clear mind.
VIRGO
(August
23
to
September 22) You're faced with a
touchy decision early in the week
concerning a family matter. Look
for outside. help on this since you
find you don't have all the answers
after all. The weekend is good for
relaxing and getting in touch with
friends from afar.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) You're settling into
Smile-(Continued from page five)
"And Kentuckians loved you
for it until you let them play such
rotten footbalL"
"Think of it this way, 1996.
You could go down in history as
the year that found a cure for
AIDS."
"If you couldn't find a cure,
how do you possibly think 1
could?"
"We're all depending on your
youth, ingenuity, vitality and the
hope that Tim Couch can bring it
all together for us in the fall. The
only sound advice I can give you
is to give people food games on
New Year's Day."
"Who should I let win?"
"Let everyone have their own
wmners."
"Won't that confuse them?"
"If Michael Jackson hasn't confused them, nothing else can." A
happy, healthy, hopeful filled New
Year to everyone.
your homey routine and don't really relish the idea of leaving the
comfort of hearth and home,
whether it's for work or play.
Friends are understanding and
know this is your time to "hibernate."
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You're being unnecessarily hard on a loved one now
and need to stop being so demanding. This person will respond better
if you use a lighter touch. It's a
good time for you to assess your
own behavior and make some
changes in the·new year.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) You find your routine upset early in the week by one
final holiday party and you don't
appreciate it. Feel free to tum down
this invitation. In the long run, you
won't regret making that decision.
A child has a surprising question
this weekend.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Early in the week, you
find yourself locking horns with
someone who's being exasperating
and stubborn. This clash of wills
only results in bad feelings all
around. Try to be patient and this
situation soon rights itself.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) With the holiday
hilarity behind you, it's time to concentrate on career interests and serious matters. Ever the social butterfly, you find yourself a bit distracted and need to utilize a lot of
willpower to get motivated again.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) It's not too early in the new year
to get out those brochures and start
planning your vacation. Make sure
you look for something to please
the entire family. Children, especially, need your consideration and
attention.

Tips On
Selecting A
Camera
(NAPS)-Once
you've
come up with the perfect
gift idea for parents,
spouse, or friends-a
camera-you then have to
focus in on choosing the
right camera. With so
many on the market, featuring everything from
auto focus to zoom lenses
to built-in flashes, this isn't
always easy. Here are
some tips that may help in
your selection:
• Find out how the camera is going to be usedwithout ruining the surprise. If the camera is for
someone who enjoys the
outdoors, for example, a
rugged weatherproof camera, such as the Olympus
SuperZoom 3500 is perfect. Because it's weatherproof, it's great to bring
snow skiing, boating or
any outdoor activity. It can
shoot a burst of up to four
frames per second (great
for bird watchers and
sports enthusiasts) and it
has a very powerful zoom
lens.
For someone
who
wants to capture special
moments such as birthdays and holidays, an
easy-to-use camera, such
as the Olympus Stylus,
may be more appropriate.
It's small, lightweight and
compact enough to fit
inside a shirt pocket.
There's also the Stylus
Zoom, a compact 3570mm weatherproof version. Both cameras make
perfect vacation accessories. They are also completely automatic, which
means the camera does
everything.
• Determine how much
you want to spend. A camera can cost as little as
twenty dollars or more
than one thousand dollars,
depending on its quality
and number of features.
• Familiarize yourself
with camera terminology.
Nothing is more frustrating
than trying to make a purchase when you don't

ALAN R. WHICKER, Mayor
(NAPS)-Migraine is a
disease that can cause
pain so bad many sufferers have wished they
were dead during an
attack. Unfortunately, the
symptoms of migraine are
often discounted as not
serious, especially among
young adults. A study of
headaches among adolescents and young adults
indicates an average of
77.8 percent of women
and 57.8 percent of men
between the ages of 18
and 29 reported that their
most recent headache
occurred
within
four
weeks of participating in
the survey.
What's worse, however, is
the number of people with
migraine who don't seek
treatment. Of those who
participated in the same
study, an average of 85
percent of men and 68
percent of women who
reported having one or
more headaches in the
prior year had never consulted a physician about
their headaches. The typical migraine sufferer waits
an average of 3.5 years
before consulting a doctor
for treatment for their
headache. That's years of
needless suffering!
Migraine Symptoms
Migraine is characterized
by multiple symptoms
including severe, recurrent pain, usually on one
side of the head and often
accompanied by one or
more of the following
associated
symptoms:
nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.
Migraine attacks can last
from four to 72 hours.
"The pain is often aggravated by routine movement or physical exertion,"
said Dr. Glen Solomon,
head,
Section
of
Headache
at
the
Cleveland
Clinic
Foundation. "Frequently,
the sufferer has to lie in a
dark, quiet room until the
attack passes-a coping
mechanism that is not
often a practical alternative in a busy lifestyle," he
said.
Until very recently, the
cause of a migraine attack
was largely a mystery.
Many
scientists
now
believe that migraine IS
caused by a sequence of
events that cause blood
vessels in the brain to
tighten then relax, resulting in the throbbing pain of
a migraine. Although there
is no cure for migraine,
much has been learned to
manage the disease,
including effective treatment programs.
Finding the Route
to Rell.ef
"The first step is to see a
physic.ian for a proper
diagnosis and treatment
program," Solomon said,
noting that diagnosis
should include a thorough
evaluation
of
the
headache to ensure it is
not a "marker" or indication of any number of serious problems. He also
emphasized a review of a
family medical history,
particularly because there
is about a 75 percent
chance of having migraine
if both parents are
migraine sufferers, and
about a 50 percent
chance if only one parent
has migraine.
The patient plays an
important role in treatment, Dr. Solomon said,
adding that learning to
recognize and control the
signs and "trigger" factors
common in the lifestyles of
young people is essential.
Examples of different triggers include:
• Irregular sleep or insufficient sleep.
• Dietary factors, such as
skipping meals. dieting
and consuming foods and
beverages with caffeine,
alcohol, MSG or nitrites.
• Environmental changes
including changes
in
atmospheric pressure or
temperature as well as
cigarette smoke, bright
lights and loud noiseseven music.
• Certain medications,
including over-the-counter
pain relievers and analegesics, such as aspirin.
(Many of these medications also contain caffeine,
a known migraine trigger.)
Hormonal changes,
associated with birth-control pills or menstrual
cycles.
• Motion from riding bikes
or cars, eyestrain, irregular workouts or even a
lack of exercise.
Emotional changes,
including fatigue, depression, anxiety, anticipation
or stress.
Migraine is a difficult disease to diagnose, treat
and live with because it
affects people differently,
with symptoms and triggers varying by individuaL
relief
from
However,
migraine pain is possible,
and early diagnosis and
treatment will help lessen
the impact it will have on
sufferers' lives now and in
the future.
A new booklet, Chart Your
Route to Relief, includes a
comprehensive headache
diary that can help sufferers to work with their
physicians to determine if
their
headaches
are
migraines. This health
education material has
been reviewed favorably
by the American Academy
of Family Physicians
Foundation and is available from Glaxo Wellcome
Inc. by calling 1-800-3770302, or by writing: Chart

What To Ask
Before
Joining A
Nonprofit
Board
(NAPS)-Being elected or
appointed to the board of
a nonprofit organization is
an honor, but it's also a
commitment-one to consider carefully.
Board members have
important legal and financial responsibilities that
require a commitment of
time. skill and resources.
Before making that commitment, be sure to ask
some basic questions
about the organization
and your responsibilities
on the board.
You can get answers from
the board member who
issues the invitation, the
chief executive, the board
chair, other current or former board members, or
from the organization's
written materials.
The National Center for
Nonprofit Boards suggests asking the following
questions:
Q. What is the organization's mission and how do
its current programs relate
to the mission?
Make sure you wholeheartedly support the
organization's
mission
and believe that it is being
effectively carried out. If
possible, visit the organization to observe a program. Ask for a strategic
plan. Plans should be
reviewed and evaluated
on a regular basis.
Q. Who does the organization serve?
Board members are the
bridge between the organizations they lead and
the communities they
serve. Get to know the
clients and the constituents. Are they satisfied with the work bemg
done? Do they feel it is
worthwhile?
Q. Is the organization
financially sound?
Since board members
may be financially liable,
it's important to learn
about the organization's
finances. Does the board
discuss and approve the
annual budget? How often
do
board
members
receive financial reports?
Q. How is the board
structured?
Find out how many board
members there are and
how responsibilities are
delegated. Conflicts of
interest are a potential
problem. Is there a system
of checks and balances to
prevent conflicts? Do
directors and officers have
liability coverage?
For more information on
board
responsibilities

Center

Audit finds cou.n ty clerk's office in red
•
J
Floyd County Clerk Carla
Robinson Boyd's office is almost
$200,000 in the red, according to
State Auditor Ben Chandler, and
her records are the worst he's ever
seen.
Boyd told the Associated Press
Friday that she disagrees with the
audit report and that she has a certified public accountant working on
her records.
In an audit report released Friday in Frankfort, the clerk's office
has a $195,000 deficit and state officials cannot determine if the
shortfall is greater because of the
condition of the clerk's records.
The report also said that Boyd had
used personal funds to conceal a
"lapping scheme" in an attempt to
hide the shortages. The scheme is
described as taking money from
new accounts to cover shortages in
old accounts. The report said that
$44,000 apparently was transferred
to cover shortages for 1991 and
1992.
Out of $570,000 in delinquent
property tax collections in 1992
and 1993, $103,900 was not distributed to local taxing districts and
is not in Boyd's accounts, according to the audit.
The audit also reported that
Boyd used $11,704 of her own
money to cover shortages.
Chandler said in a written statement Friday that Boyd's records are
"the worst of any clerk's records"
he has seen.
"TI1e clerk's records are so bad
that the auditor's office cannot
issue an audit opinion as to the
exact financial position of the
clerk's office," Chandler said in his
statement.
The state auditor also said that
the matter has been forwarded to
the attorney general's office and the
Kentucky State Police for further
review.
A breakdown of the audit
shows:
• $103,900 in unreported delinquent tax collections;
• $2,600 in disallowed expenses;
• $13,099 in prior expenses paid
from 1992 fees;
• $9,211 owed for fish and game
licenses;
• $23,904 in 1994 receipts deposited into the 1993 fee account;
• $1.753 used to cover a 1991
overdraft;
• $3,943 from April 1992 receipts deposited into the 1991 fee
account;
• $15,078 in March 1992 receipts deposited to 1991 fee account;
• $9,504 in 1992 excess fees
owed to the fiscal court;
• $1,978 overpayment of 1993
excess fees; and
• $15,093 in net posting errors in
disbursement ledger.
The total of the alleged shortfall
is $196,197,1ess a $1,071 bank balance in the 1992-93 fee accounts,

A Tram man is suing three
Floyd County deputies claimmg
that a December I search of his
residence was racially mouvated,
but Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson
says the lawsuit is groundless.
Curtis Gardner filed a $1 million civil rights suit in Floyd Circuit Court last week, saying
deputies Ricky Thornsberry, Ricky
Newsome and Steve Toy broke
into his home on December I without a search warrant and harassed a
number of blacks at a road block
during the same time. Gardner also
claims that officers removed three
antique guns from the residence.
Officers executed a search watrant at Gardner's residence on December 1 and confiscated some
marijuana, drug paraphernalia and
weapons. Sheriff Thompson said.
Thompson added that deputies did
arrest one man near Gardner's
home on a driving under the influence charge.
'The officers had a valid search
warrant," Thompson said Tuesday.
"What they found, speaks for itself. There was no road block, but
a deputy did arrest a man for driving under the influence of drugs
because the man's vehicle was
weaving on the roadway. There
was another arrest when a man
walked into Gardner's home
drunk."
.
Thompson said that deputy
Newsome was not involved in the
which leaves a $195,126 deficit.
Delinquent property tax collections were accounted for in three
ways-a receipts ledger, computer
generated monthly reports and
monthly reports prepared by hand
and sent to taxing districts-which
led to problems with that account,
the audit said. "These records contradicted each other for the 24
months examined and never did the
three records agree for the amounts
recorded for delinquent taxes collected," the audit said.
Most of the shortage was attributed to the unaccounted delinquent
tax collections.
A call to Boyd Tuesday was not
returned.

The Central Kentucky Blood

0 negative blood.
Georgia Sanders, coordinator of
Prestonsburg Blood Center, said
every year the area gets low on
blood, especially 0 negative and
positive, because not as many pco-
ple arc donating.
Because type 0 negative blood
is the "universal type" and can he
given to anyone, it is also the type
that is depleted most often, Marsha
Berry, CKBC spokeswoman said
Tuesday.
The Central Kentucky Blood
Center (CKBC) is holding its annual winter drive, Donorama '95, December 26-29, to ensure an ade-
quatc supply of blood for central
and eastern Kentucky as the New
Year's holiday approaches.
"People go on vacation or get
sick," Sanders said.
"We hold the drive to ensure
our inventory always has at least
2,400 pints of blood daily for hospital use."

"We need people to commit to

Both will be held at 6:30 p.m.,

"We need to stress to people that

Beaver Elkhorn, according to
Hale, has agreed to work with customers on the hook-up fee. The fee,

centage of alcohol-related fatalities. Last year, more than 16.000
people lost their lives as a result of
alcohol-related crashes.
Responsible party hosts can
help their guests have a good time
but return home safely by:
. • Offering non-alcoholic beverages
• Providing plenty of food to
slow the absorption of alcohol
• Planning activities so drinking
isn't the party focus
• Arranging rides home for tipsy
drivers
Partygoers who plan to drink alcohol should arrange in advance
for a ride home. This may include
appomting a designated driver before the party begins. Guests
should also be responsible and
know their limits.
AAA suggests party hosts serve
coffee or some other non-alcoholic
beverage and snack about an hour before the party is over, allowing excess
alcohol to clear the bloodstream.
Recipes for non-alcoholic
drinks and party food along with
tips for hosting a safe party are

Program (HEAP), will be taken at
local Community Action Agencies
beginning January 8 and will continue through April 30, or until the
funds are exhausted.
The Big Sandy Area Community
office is located on Route 1428 m
Allen. Their phone number is 8742965.
The federally funded HEAP programs provide heating subsidies
and crisis assistance to low-income
households.
Applications for heating subsidies were taken in November and
all eligible households which
applied will receive a benefit, said
John Clayton, commissioner of the
Department for Social Insurance.
DSI oversees the state's HEAP program.
Clayton said $4.2 million of
Kentucky's HEAP grant is available
for crisis assistance and $7.9 million will be used for subsidies for
more than 89,000 eligible households. Subsidies will average $89
each.
''To assure we have suffictent
funds for crisis assistance during
the coldest months of the year, we
have been waiting for the federal
government to Jet us know the actual amount of our HEAP grant
before determining individual subsidy amounts," Clayton said.
'Those payments will be processed
within the next two weeks."
To be eligible for crisis assistance, a household must meet the
same guidelines required for eligibility for a subsidy, which mcludes
income and liquid asset limits
In addition, the household applying for crisis assistance must either
be totally without its primary heating fuel, or within 48 hours of running out of propane or fuel oil, or
within 48 hours of having the
home's primary heating source disconnected.
Each eligible household at or
above 28 percent of the poverty
level will also be required to make a
co-payment to the fuel vendor
toward relieving the crisis.

No HEAP payments will be

benefits may take the forqt of fuel
delivery, service reconnection,
blankets or sleeping bags, loaned
space heaters or emergency shelter.
Subsidies will be in the fonn of
vouchers payable to the heating fuel
vendor.

AAA offers 'the following tips

* Improve visibility by cleaning
'Cll snow from the entire carjpood, roof, trunk, head and tall

jlllOtorists can sec and also be seen.
~ * Remember posted speed lim~ts arc set for ideal road and weath~r conditions. Slow down when

lmpaircd by bad weather or traffic.
~ * Av01d sudden starts, stops and
~urns. Accelerate carefully so

: * Don't brake hard. The best
technique for braking under snowy
conditions is "threshold" or
"squeeze braking," by applying the
brakes firmly to a point just short
of lock up, and then easing off the
brake pedal slightly. With anti-lock
brakes, motorists should depress
the brake pedal firmly and hold it
down until the vehicle stops.
* Anticipate potential danger
such as bridges, snow-covered
lane markings, stalled cars and
poor visibility. Adjust speed,
increase distance between your
vehicle and other cars or change
lanes to avoid trouble. Watch out
for other drivers who may be
unprepared for changing road conditions.
* In a skid, case off the accelerator and don't lock up the brakes.
Carefully steer in the direction you

mght we w1ll
• close out the old year and, the
Lord willing, will welcome a new
one on Monday.
The local sports scene in 1995
has seen sev~ral changes. We've
had changes in coaching positions
and changes in the way things are
done in the county.
The year started with the high
school basketball season well
underway and Allen Central boys
and girls being the top teams in the
county. Coach Gordon Parido's
Prestonsburg Blackcats were
putting a scare in county teams
with their outside shooting. South
Floyd was having problems in
finding ways to win and Betsy
Layne was under second-year
coach Keith Henry.
On the girls' side, Coach Bonita
Compton had her Lady Rebels in
first place in the conference and
looking toward the girls' All-A
Classic. Betsy Layne was enjoying
a good season under coach Bill
Newsome. Prestonsburg was the
surprise team of the 58th District
under first-year coach Harold
Tackett. Coach Jimmy Hopkins
was still experimenting to find a
winning combination at South
Floyd.
Allen Central Rebels fell to
Paintsville in the finals of the
boys' Class A regional in overtime. The Lady Rebels made it
three in a row and captured their
third Class A regional championship and went on to Bowling
Green for the state meet. The Lady
Rebels po:;ted an opening-round
win, the first time for a regional
team.
The Allen Central boys won
their third consecutive 58th
District tournament after finishing
6-0 in conference play and receiving a number one seeding in the
tournament. The Rebels edged
Prestonsburg for the district title.
Coach Johnny Martin's team
~ fell to Paintsville in the semifinals
of the regional tournament at
Sheldon Clark.
Coach Bill Newsome's Lady
Cats won their second straight district tournament. Betsy Layne
opened flat in girls' regional play
and failed to repeat as the 15th
Regional champions.
Baseball opened in late March
with some good weather and it
didn't take long for Coach Junior
Newsome's Bobcats to show they
were contenders to repeat as dis' trict and regional champions.
The Bobcats got some good
pitching and timely hitting from
players who weren't counted on to
produce during the regular season.
Betsy Layne defeated Allen
Central in the championship game
of the district tournament.
After an opening game win in
the regional tournament the

High school basketball in r1oyd County
has just completed its first full month and
there are still some questions to be
answered concerning each team.
In a county that has, for the past four
years, been a dominating force in the 15th
Region, we find our teams are finding victories hard to come by.
There have t-een surprises this season
and we want to take a look at those surprises - and not all are good ones.
• Allen Central Lady Rebels (3-2).
Sophomore Misty Scott has had to carry the
offensive load for the Lady Rebels after the
team has had defections as well as suspensions. Coach Bonita Compton's ballclub is
3- 1 (as of Wednesday. December 27) and
has not been that active on the basketball
court.
As the month of January approaches. the
Lady Rebels will definitely be needing
someone to step into the offensive picture
and lend a helping hand.
Scott has been the go-to player for Allen
Central, but she needs help somewhere.
That help may have to come from some
promising freshman, like Jennifer Hopkins
or Janice Thornsbury.
Junior center Amanda Samons has been,
and still is, on a five-game suspension, leaving the Lady Rebels without a legitimate
post player. Freshman Delenda Howard left
the team before the Christmas break. Coach
Compton is having to dip into the grade
school ranks for players.
Allen Central will be playing in the
Johnson Central Invitational this week.
More hustle from th1s team is definitely
needed. No one seems to play hard. Let's
tell it like it is.
• Betsy Layne Lady Gats (2-4). Expected
to be one of the top contenders in the region
this season, the Lady Cats are not purring
like they should. A pair of junior guards are
having to saddle the load as they try to turn
things around for Betsy Layne and they
need some help down low.
Ashley Tackett has not yet helped out on
offense like shl' is capable. Tackett is the
key to this ballcluh winning and must,
repeat, must become more invo lved offensively.
The inside game for Betsy Layne is in
the hands of Rachel Thompson, Crystal
Gearheart and Heather Kidd. All three are
capable, but so far have proven inconsistent.
Gearheart is the team's leading rebounder and has shown some spark on offense
lately, scoring in double figures. Thompson
is a steady defensive player with I 2 block
shots. But needs to be more active around
the basket on offense. She's a good scorer

Betsy Layne defeats host
Greenup Co. to capture
invitational tournament
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Coach Junior Newsome's
Betsy Layne Bobcats improved
to 5-2 on the season with a pair
of big wins in the Greenup
County Invitational Tournament
this past weekend.
The Bobcats posted an opening game win over Williamstown
56-43 and then handed host
school Greenup County a 50-44
setback in the championship
game.
Betsy Layne has been playing
very good basketball in the first
month of the season and the
Betsy Layne coach said he
believes his team wfll·get better.
"We· re playing better right
now," Newsome said. "Our players are getting more confidence.
We still have room to improve
and I think we will get better."
We're playing better right now. Our .
players are getting more confidence.
We still have room to improve and I

-Junior Newsome
Betsy Layne Bobcats coach
Rocky Newsome and Jason
Tackett led the Bobcats' scoring
in the championship game
against
the
Musketeers.
Newsome had 14 points and
Tackett tossed in 12.
The Bobcats got off to a sluggish start in the first half, but
righted themselves in the third
period when they outscored
Greenup County 16-10 to lead by
five, 34-29, after three periods.
Greenup County and Coach
Randy Ward are known for their
defensive prowess instead of
home of Tad Brewer, the state's
eighth leading scorer. Brewer is
averaging 28.5 points per game.
Jimmy Keith is one of the
leading rebounders in the state
with more than 12 caroms a
game. Cordia ranks seventh in
the state in scoring average as a
team. They will bring an 84.5
po111ts-per-game average to
Shelby Valley.
"Cordia has a very good basketball team," Betsy Layne
putting points on the boards.
Betsy Layne, though short in
stature, is one of the better
rebuilding teams in the area.
Newsome was all smiles
when 6' 10" Jonathan Newman
was named the tournament's Best
Defensive Player.
"He deserved it," the Betsy
Layne mentor said. "He had 12

Chris Hamilton, who came off

eight points in the championship
game, as did Willie Meade.
Newman scored five points and
Craig Johnson came in to hit a
three for three points.
"We were very flat when we

it was the bus ride down there.

Knott
South Floyd scare
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Shhhhh!
Don't tell the South Floyd Lady
Raiders they were not supposed to
even be in the game with Allen
Central's
Lady
Rebels
last
Thursday night.
Don't tell them they were not to
be in front at the halftime by a score
of 24-22.
Don't let them know they almost
pulled off a major upset in h1gh
school basketball before falling 4843.
Let them alone and let their confidence grow as the second month
of the season is about to start.
Coach Henry Webb's Lady
Raiders overcame a slow first-quarter start and then climbed back into
the game to give Coach Bonita
Compton's team a scare just before
the holiday break.
Sophomore Misty Scott poured
in 25 pomts w lead the Lady Rebels
to their third wm of th~ season
against one defeal. Shauna Moore
added eight points as no one else
scored in double ligures for Allen
Central. Jennifer Hopkins finished
with live points.
The Lady Rebs were without the
services of their junior center in
Amanda Samons. Samons is serving a five-game suspension and will
not be eligible to return until after
the first of the year.
Coach Compton had to go to the
youth on her club and played several eighth graders

down low, but has trouble getting
the ball.
This ballclub needs to play better
on defense. Let's tell it hke it is.
• Prestonsburg Lady Blackcats
(4-5). Definitely a dtsappointment
so far this season and no one is to
blame but the players. Much was
expected of the Blaekcats, but they
have not produced :)S first thought.
This ballclub has as much talent
as anyone in the 15th Rcgton, but
seems to lack that floor leadership
that was there last year. Sentor April
Newsome and junior Crystal Layne
must be the two who take that leadership role. They must.
Coach Harold Tackett's club is
not working together as a team on
offense. They arc a solid defensive
ballclub, but the chemistry is not
there on offense. Too much individual play. That's right. Too much "I"
on the floor.
This team could still be a top
regional team if they can come
together and put pecsonal ambitions
behind them and work harder.
More scoring IS definitely needed from Jessi Burke, Amber Leslie
and Ladonna Slone the "Big-3"
under the basket. Shelly Greathouse
is a little too unselfish. She needs to
take her shot. Kimi Nunnery and
Crystal Slone must play more and
get involved in the offense.
The team is not working as hard
The Floyd County Times
on defense as they did in their first
three games. A definite improvement from the free throw line is
needed. The team should be 8-1
right now. Let's tell it like it 1s.
• South Aoyd Lady Raiders ( 16). I must admit I have seen an
improvement in the way this club
has played this year. But they
should. They arc a veteran team.
They are no longer a "kiddy corp."
Coach Henry Webb's team is
more aggressive on both offense
and defense. But still the team lacks
the ability to take care of the basketball, and shot selection, as well
as execution, is still lacking.
Semor Tiffany Compton doesn't
seem to get the ball as often as she
needs to. Point guard Chrissy
Tackett is feeling the pressure on
the outside and no one seems to be
moving to the ball to relieve the
pressure.
I like the way they are going to
the boards. I've seen some very
strong offensive board \fork. Jenny
Meade has been a strong worker
there. But Meade needs to add some
points. She has the ability to do so.
But it all comes down to taking
care of the basketball. It's like they
don't see the court or the ball that
well.
Look for South Floyd to post
some more victories, but they must
win at the conference level. They

can do it. But it will take more
determination.
• Allen Central Rebels (5-2).
Surprise, surprise, surprise. That's
what the Rebels have been through
the first seven games this season.
When you analyze their game, it is
hard to find very many flaws. Their
defense is good. The offense is fifth
best in the state with a 55 percent
shooting average. They are one of
the best shooting teams around the
regton.
What's happened?
Junior All-State candidate
Thomas Jenkins is having an allstar season. He IS averaging a little
less than 30 points per game and
pulling in 14 rebounds. Well, we
knew that it would be a super year
for the junior, but with the loss of
some key personnel, Allen Central
has had to search for someone to
stand up.
That someone has been some
unexpected players. Sophomore
Todd Howard has been on fire this
season and playing the best basketball of his career. A definite reason
the Rebels are 5-2. Junior Jason
Baker has moved his game up a
notch or two and is making noise.
After some suspensions to three
starters, Brian Crawford has shown
what he is capable of doing and has
been a very pleasant surprise for
Coach Johnny Martin.
The problem with this team is
their inability to hold a big lead.
Turnovers late in the game have
been a problem.
• Betsy Layne Bobcats (3-2).
Coach Junior Newsome's Bobcats
are one of the better rebounding
team around the county or region.
They go hard to the boards, especially the offensive boards. Junior
Rocky Newsome is remarkable in
the way he has played this season.
The former Allen Central Rebel is
averaging near 24 points per game.
Coach Newsome is searching for
the right combination and in the
Bobcats' last game before the
break, inserted 6' 10" Jonathan
Newman in the line-up.
Willie Meade will have to show
some floor leadership for the
Bobcats. Chris Hamilton needs to
be more in control of himself and
listen to the what the coach has to
say.
This team could very well be a
dark horse in the 15th Region. They
are certainly going to have a lot to
say as to the outcome of the 58th
•
District.
Attitudes make all the difference
in how a team plays. If this one
adjusts just a little bit, they will be
strong. Let's tell it like it is.
• Prestonsburg Blackcats (0·5).
This ballclub should never be 0·5 at
the Christmas Break. But they are.
Why? Many arc wondering that.
Just some observations I have seen.
No one is seeing the court well.
Not seeing the court well usually
results • in
turnovers
and
Prestonsburg certainly has had their
share of them in their first five
games.
Sophomore center/forward Andy
Jarvis must want the basketball. He
must want it. Regardless. His teammates must then get the ball inside
to him. They must. I beheve if
Jarvis wants the ball, I mean really
wants it, and his team can get the
ball down low, he could carry a 20plus average.
The guard play must shoulder
some offensive responsibility. By
that I mean they must be consistent.
It's one thing to have a good night
on the hardwood and then disappear
the next.
This is a good basketball team
and I still contend once they get
things in order the way they should
be, it will be a team to reckon with.
• South Floyd Raiders (3-3). I
like this ballclub. They play very
hard. They know their roles and are
a very good offensive team.
But they are lacking on defense.
Mental breakdowns on defense has
been a problem in all six games
they have played. Even in
blowouts.
But Coach Rose's ballclub will
get better. T.T. Pack, Terrence
Mullins, Bear Stephens and Jason
Shannon are four of the better players in the county- offensively. But
they are not playing any kind of
defense. Rebounding, blocking
needs to step up some.
I look for a strong January and
even stronger February from our
county teams. The first month is
hard to really gauge a team Some
key district games arc on tab in the
month of January and look for practices to become a little more difficult. But look for some good
games.

The Floyd County Times
A Look at Sports -(Continued from page 5A)
Cordia-
Bobcats came back and picked up a second-round win to
move into the finals against Pikeville. The Bobcats fell to the
Panthers in the championship game.
It was a very warm summer for athletes in the county as
they took to the diamonds in the youth leagues. More than
70 teams were involved in athletics during the summer
months around Floyd County.
Girls' softball gained in popularity as new youth programs
got underway.
Once school resumed in August, football practice began.
Coach Glen Reeves had his Allen Central Rebels in gear as
they finished with a 4-6 regular season record, and made the
state playoffs for the first time ever in the school's history.
Betsy Layne, the winningest team in the county, was the
only one of the four that did not make the state playoffs.
Coach John Derossett's ballclub finished with a fine 6-4
record, but because they were aligned in the same district
with Allen Central and Prestonsburg, they failed to make the
playoffs. The Bobcats fell to Allen Central and Prestonsburg
in the regular season.
Prestonsburg finished with a losing record of 4-6 during
the regular season in a year that definitely was a rebuilding
one for Coach Bill Letton. Prestonsburg fell in the first
round of the state playoffs to Russell, the second time in two
seasons the Red Devils took the Blackcats out of the playoffs.
Coach Donnie Daniels got his Raiders off to a quick start
and, despite a bad ending, South Floyd made the playoffs. It
was the first time ever Floyd County had three teams in the
state football playoffs.
Two coaching changes occurred when Prestonsburg basketball coach Gordon Parido decided not to return to the
Blackcat program for the '95-'96 season. Saying he wanted
to spend more time furthering his education, the veteran
coach stepped down and former Wheelwright coach Jackie
Pack was named the new head mentor at Prestonsburg.
Keith Henry's tenure as head varsity coach was a short
two-year stay as former Bobcat coach Junior Newsome
decided to return to the program and was hired after a meeting with the site-based council.
Coach Johnny Martin's Rebels were not expected to contend as a district or regional power during the '95-'96 season, but when the school took a holiday break, the Rebels
were still number one in the county with a sparkling 5-2
record.
Rebel Thomas Jenkins was number seven in the state in
scoring and fifth overall in rebounding.
South Floyd was off to a good start, something they did
not have in their first two seasons. Coach Rose's ballclub
was 3-3 over the holiday break.
Prestonsburg was struggling big time and had Blackcat
fans wondering and scratching their heads over a team
loaded with talent. The Blackcats were off to a 0-5 start and
made their trip to Florida this week.
Betsy Layne, a surprise in the district this year, was perhaps the most-improved team in the county. The Bobcats
were 3-2 at the break and impressive even in their two losses.
Three of the four county women's programs were expected to challenge for a regional title this year but the break
found all three struggling. Allen Central owned a 3-1 record
while Prestonsburg, Betsy Layne and South Floyd were
playing on the losing side of the ledger.
After the school holiday break, the second month will
begin with some important conference games on tap. The
months of January and February could prove very interesting.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports.
Happy New Year!

team more than held its own on
the boards against the taller
Musketeers.
"We rebounded very well
against a team that had a front
line of 6-7, 6-5, 6-4. Greenup
County has a very good ballclub. They have been playing
some super basketball," he said.
Willie Meade led the Bobcats
with ten rebounds.
Betsy Layne didn't take very
many shots, but the ones they
did take didn't go for naught.
The Bobcats hit 59 percent of
their shots from the floor.
"We shot the ball extremely
well," the Betsy Layne coach
said. "The reason for that was
because we took good shots.
When you take good shots you
will shoot a high percentage and
win some ball games.
"Our defense was very good,
holding Greenup County io just
44 points. It was an excellent
game for us. I'm pleased with
this team, but we still have more
work to do.''
Newsome had seven assists
to go with his 14 points.
Hamilton was the leading
rebounder with seven. Newman
finished with six boards.
"He didn't score a ldt for us
but he did play some good
defense for us," Newsome· said.
Newman's effort 011 defense
in the two games of the tournament earned the tournament's
best defensive player award and
Chris Hamilton was named the
tournament's best offensive
player.
Ham1Iton scored 18 points in
the opening game against
Williamstown on Friday night.
He did not start the game, but
was effective off the bench.
Newsome ftnished with 11
points in the first game while
picking up seven assists. Meade
pulled down six rebounds for
the winners.
Newman finished with nine
points, Tackett scored six and

at the half over Williamstown,
outscored the opponent 18-4 in
the third period to put the game
away and led by 17 points, 4225, after three quarters.
"We picked up on our
defense in the third quarter,"
Newsome said. "We put more
pressure on the ball then."
Williamstown
committed
nine turnovers against the Betsy
Layne press Jn the third period.
"They are a patient team," he
said. "They like the slow tempo
and we let them control the
game in the first half. We came
out and pressured the ball better
and forced them to speed their
game up."
Betsy Layne will continue

NASCAR FANS NEED
TO :MAKE RESOLUTIONS
Another year gone by. Time
to look in the mirror, take a
deep breath, and make your
annual resolution for the new
year. You know the deal. Out
with the old, in with the new.
Now your resolution might
incluae dropping a pound here
and there, treating your spouse
a little kinder, or attaining
some lofty goal.
But we can pave a little fun
~ with this. How about some
NASCAR resolutions? You
know as well as I do, that we
all love our sport dearly. But
one must admit there are some
changes we would like to see.
Here are some 'fantasy' resolutions for the world of
Winston Cup racing.
Out with the old points system ..... in with a new one. The
grand sport of Winston Cup
racing has become so competitive that the current points system could use a fixing up. As
things are, drivers are rewarded for their consistency. Yes,
that's very important. But
other factors should be taken
into account when dealing out
points.
First of all, winners of races
deserve a boost in the points.
How about ten points for a
win. Did you know this was
the first season since 1990 that
the winner of the most races
won the championship?
How about a five-point
bonus for winning the pole?
Qualifying is a very important
• aspect of the game. Maybe a
three-point bonus for leading
at the half-way. Think about
all the drivers who lead during
the race and later fall out due
to mechanical problems or
accidents. The current points
system is comparable with the
ever-popular NCAA Bowl
Coalition, is the national
champion, really a national
champion. Know what I mean'!
,.
Out with the speed limit on
pit road ... in with an openspeed pit Jane. Okay, I know
*
that NASCAR has a big con·
cern with safety. But don't you
miss those days when a driver
would barrel into the pits,
change four tires, grab a can of
Unocal, and head back onto
the track beating a competitor
out of the pits? How about
this, keep the speed limit
under yellow-flag periods
when pit road is over-crowded,
but drop the speed-trap during
green-flag stops.
Out with the media that
shove a microphone in a driver's face following an accident. ... in with a kinder, gentler
media. Ask yourself this question. Have you ever been so
mad that you spouted off at the
mouth, only later to regret
everything you said? Or how
about this. Have you ever been
driving down the road, and
have someone pull out in front
of you for no reason whatsoever, and you follow the action
up with a barrage of harsh
words? So why put a microphone in the face of a driver
who unwillingly was put out of
a race? Give them time to cool
off.
Out with the astronomical
ticket pnces ... tn with a more
affordable package for the fan.
Average prices: Daytona tickets, $100, Talladega tickets,
$90, Bristol uckets, $65.
Shirts and souvenirs of your
favorite drivers. expect to play
no less than $30. NASCAR is
quickly becoming a rich man's
sport. The common race fan
can barely afford to go to one
race a year. let alone three or
four. With many tracks nearing
seating for more than I 00,000
fans, surely the ticket prices
could be shaved just a tad.
And finally, out with a racing off-season and weekends

Next year's season for rabbit
and quail will begin the day following the close of modem gun
deer season and continue
through January 31 in the following counties: Allen, Ballard,
Butler, Caldwell, Calloway,
Carlisle, Christian, Crittenden,
Daviess,
Fulton,
Graves,
Hancock, Henderson, Hickman,
Hopkins, Livingston, Logan,
Lyon, Marshall, McCracken,
McLean, Muhlenberg, Ohio,
Simpson, Todd, Trigg, Union,
Warren and Webster.
The season in these counties
was changed to peqnit farmers in
West Kentucky to harvest their
crops before the season opened.
No changes in the rabbit
and quail season were made
elsewhere. Hunting for these
species
will
be
open
November 1 through the end
of January, except during the
modern gun deer season in the
remaining 91 counties.
The commission amended
the regulation controlling private boat docks on stateowned lakes to provide for
wai vcrs,
hearings,
and
appeals.
The department was directed to produce a migratory bird
permit. This federal permit
will be required for migratory
bird hunters (dove, woodcock,
crow, etc.) not possessing a
waterfowl stamp.
Requiring
this
permit'
allows the comprehensive collection of waterfowl and
migratory bird harvest information. The permit will cost
$4.
The
commission
also
endorsed the "Teaming with
Wildlife" program. This concept has been adopted by several states to raise additional
money for management of
non-game and endangered
species, land acquisition and
education.
Hunters and anglers have
historically supported these
programs through license purchases and federal excise
taxes on hunting, shooting and
fishing equipment and supplies.
The
"Teaming
with
Wildlife" approach will create
opportunities for all outdoor
enthusiasts by broadening
existing user fees to include a
wider array of outdoor recreation equipment. Hikers, bird
watchers, nature photographers and campers can team
up with hunters and anglers in
managing wildlife.

Boating
SafetyLearn the
rules
The peak of boating season may
be long gone, but that's no reason
to forget about safety. In fact, the
Boat Owners Association of The
United States (BOAT/U.S.), the
nation's largest organization of
recreational boaters with more than
500,000 members, encourages
boaters to take a boating safety
course this winter.
Not only will safety courses
teach new or soon-to-be boat owners the nautical "rules of the road,"
but it is also an excellent "refresher" for experienced boaters. Also,
many insurance companies offer
discounts on boat insurance premiums for completed safety courses.
An added bonus to completing
an approved boating safety course
by September 1, 1996, is a complementary one-year membership in
BOAT/U.S. (which includes a subscription to their magazine).
Approved courses include those
offered by the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary, U.S. Power Squadrons,
American Red Cross, and state
agencies.
To qualify for the complimentary membership, send a copy of a
course completion certificate with
your name, address and daytime
telephone number to BOAT/U.S.
Member Services, 880 S. Pickett
St., Alexandria, Virginia 22304.
The Division of Water Patrol
(Kentucky Department of Fish and
Wildlife Resources) is offering
boating safety courses across the
state. For more information, call

BROWN TO PLAY AT ALC
SECOND SEMESTER;
MOORE COULD MISS REST
OF SEASON
Alice Lloyd Lady Eagle
Basketball Coach John Mills got
some bad news and good news just
before the Christmas break.
The bad news being that leading'
scorer Staci Moore could be lost for
the rest of the season with a severe
knee injury. Moore injured the knee
in the Lady Eagles' final game
before going home for Christmas.
"It was early in the game,"
Moore said. "I was bringing the ball
up the floor and my knee went out
from under me. It was very painful.
One part went this way and the
other went that way."
The good news for the Lady
Eagles is that former Allen Central
standout Marsha Brown will suit up
the second semester. Brown sat out
the firsl semester in making up her
mind to play college ball or not.
"I just didn't know if I could
play as good as I used too," Brown
said. ''But I have decided to play
this semester."
The Lady Eagles return to the
hardwood on January 5 and 6 on the
road before returning home on
January 6 for a home date with
Clinch Valley.
SAMONS ON SUSPENDED
LIST
Allen Central junior center
Amanda Samons has been suspended for five games for a violation of
team rules. Samons suspension
could hurt the Lady Rebels as they
prepare for the Johnson Central
Invitational.
Samons could return to the ballclub January I against Pike Central.
MOORE RETURNS AS ASSISTANT
Anthony Moore, one-time boys'
assistant for Allen Central, returned
to the familiar position, but as an
assistant
to
Coach
Bonita
Compton's girls' team.
"She called me and asked me to
take the position," he said, "and I
was pleased that she asked."
The vacancy carne about when
then assistant Jalenda Shepherd
decided to resign the job. Dalenda
Howard, a freshman and sister to
Jalenda, also left the team.
"There was no hard feelings or
anything like that," Moore said. "It
was that Dalenda didn't want to
play basketball anymore."

WHO'S EXCITED?
Ever wonder who is the most
excited about Christmas, the parents of children or· the children
themselves.
Well, in tlus case, it is the parents,
according to former Prestonsburg
Boys' Coach Gordon Parido.
Parido, who is frequently seen at
the girls' basketball games as well
as other games, says his two year
old daughter was looking forward
to Christmas, but he and his wife
Karen were more excited about it
than their daughter.
"I know her mom is more excited about it," he said recently. "We
both are. She doesn't really understand it all yet."
Says Prestonsburg Athletic
Director Ron Hampton, "I have a
young daughter and we are excited
about Christmas for her."
JENKINS STILL IN TOP
TEN..•HOWARD MAKES LIST
According to the latest stats
released by the Kentucky High
School Athletic Association, Allen
Central's Thomas Jenkins continues
to be the seventh leading scorer in
the state with a 28.6 average.
Another Allen Central player has
moved into the state stats.
Sophomore Todd Howard is hitting
more than 91 percent of his free
throws this season, good enough for
seventh best in the state. Howard
has attempted 24 charity tosses and
made 22.
Jenkins is the tenth best
rebounder around the state, averaging 12.1 per game. Paintsville's J.R.
Vanhoose leads the state with 15

KILLER OF THE
UNPREPARED
Hypothermia, also known as
exposure, is something anglers and
hunters must beware of during this
season's cold weather. In extreme
cases, hypothermia can kill.
What is hypothermia? Simply
put, it is the loss of body heat. The
condition becomes dangerous when
the loss of body heat affects vital
organs and causes them to stop
functioning.
One of the biggest contributors
to hypothermia is wind chill, the
combination of temperature and
wind velocity. The faster the wind's
speed. the lower the air's temperature. For example, if the wind speed
is a moderate five miles per hour,
and the thermometer reads 50
degrees, the wind chill makes it 48
degrees. If the wind is blowing 15
miles per.hour and the thermometer
temperature is 50 degrees, the
equivalent temperature is 36
degrees.
As a biological organism, man is
designed to function best with a
body temperature of 98.6 degrees.
A variation of a few degrees either
way causes changes in body chemistry, man's ab1hty to reason and his
general phys1cal, emotional and
mental state. The most common
deviation is a fever - the raising of
the body temperature - usually
brought on by a cold or virus.
Hypothermia, the lowering of the
body temperature, is the opposite of
a fever.
Hypothermia can be prevented,
and there's no reason why hunters
should fall victim to exposure, provided that they keep their wits about
them. This is one malady in which
an ounce of prevention really is

DON'T OVERLOOK
VIBRATING PLUGS FOR
EASY FISHING
Many of the bass pros have a
saying that if you simply want to
catch some fish in a hurry tie on a
vibrating, swimming plug and start
casting. Sooner or later you'll catch
fish.
One of the pros who feels this
way is Larry Nixon of the Evinrude
Outboards Pro Staff, a fonner
world champion and the top money
winner in professional bass fishing
competition.
"I always have some of the
vibrating, swimming plugs in my
tackle box," Nixon says, "especially if I'm fishing over submerged
grass. I don't believe there's a better lure for working that type of
covers, but these lures will really
catch bass in nearly any type of situation."
Many manufacturers now offer
these lures in a variety of sizes and
colors. Nixon likes half-ounce
models in both chrome and gold
colors.
"Basically, the way to fish these
lures is to cast and simply crank
them back, sometimes alternating
,with a stop and go retrieve, or possibly ripping them through the
water with a sweep of your rod tip,"
Nixon explains.
"The lures are streamlined and
have a very tight vibratio n so
they're easy to feel, especially if
you use 10-. 12-, or perhaps 14pound test line. They sink so you
can work them at a variety of
depths, and ~ou can even jig them
vertically.
"I know several pros who fish
them just like jigging spoons."
The Evinrude pro says the only
drawback to fishing these lures is
that they're not weedless so they
can't be used very effectively
with the Pros
around wood cover, such as trees
and brush piles.
"That's why they're so good
around
vegetation,"
Nixon
explains. "When they snag on a
limb or branch, you can't pull them
free, but you pull them right
through most vegetation."
Nixon isn't sure why these types
of lures catch so many bass, but he
thinks one reason is because they
bring reaction strikes from bass that
think the lure is a small baitfish try·
ing to escape.
"I've seen major tournaments
won by anglers using these lures
over grass, casting and then reeling
them back as fast as they could,"
Nixon says. "To me, those were
reaction strikes, because the bass
couldn't really see the lure.
"The fish simply heard this
vibrating object speed by, and went
after it without any hesitation."
Because the lure does generate
those types of strikes, Nixon says, it
can be used along shorelines,
beside bluffs, and over points, as
well as over deeper grass.
"Fishennen can cover a lot of
water in a hurry with these lures
and often locate bass, simply by
casting and reeling. Once they do
catch a bass or two, they can slow
down and perhaps use other lures to
work the same water more efficiently."
Dav1d Wharton, a fonner guide on
Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas
and now a full -time tournament
professional.
"There are times, often in
February and March, when many
lakes fill with rainwater and bass
move shallow, and when they do, a
surface lure may draw a lot of
strikes.
"At other times, fishing topwater
lures over shallow vegetation can
attract bass on even the coldest
days."
Basically, says Wharton, the best
approach to most winter topwater
fishing is to use lures that do not
make any noise or commotion in
the water, such as the minnow-imitation floater\divers that dart a few
inches under water and then float
back to the surface.
These are generally known as
"twitch baits" because of. the way
they are worked with short, quick
rod tip movements. They're avail-
· Works"
able in various sizes and are made
by several manufacturers.
"When I cast, I let the ripples
disappear entirely before I move the
lure at all," explains the Johnson
pro. ''Then, I just barely do move
my rod tip so the lure wiggles
underwater and floats back up.
"One of the keys with this lure in
the winter is to fish it extremely
slow. In the spring, summer, and
fall it's usually more effective
worked fast, but just the opposite is
true in winter."
Another key, Wharton says , is
looking for baitfish movement,
because whenever he sees minnows
swimming or skipping over the surface he knows bass will be nearby
and it's a good place to begin casting.
"Nonnally, afternoon fishing
will be better than early morning
action," he continues, "because on a
sunny day the water will be a few
degrees warmer in the afternoon.
Bass will actually move more shallow as the water wanns, then go
deeper when it cools overnight."
Thick vegetation like moss may
hold some bass shallow all year,
con.tinues the Texas pro, and noisy
topwater lures like poppers and
chuggers can bring them up.
"Again, the key is working the
lure slowly," Wharton says, " but
the difference when fishing vegetation like this is to use a lure that
makes a lot of commotion each
time you move it.
"It's surprising how good the
topwater fishing can be in winter,
especially if you find the right conditions."

Of all the lures in a bass fisherman's tackle box, the one that gets
the least attention in winter is actually one that can be one of the most
effective.
It's a minnow-imitation topwater
lure.

• Be prepared! Dress wannly,
carry a survival kit (make sure you
have waterproof matches, a candle,
water, emergency ration and even a
pair of dry wool socks in a sealed
plastic bag) and consider hunting
with a buddy so you aren't out there
alone.
• Dress in layers. It is much easier to regulate the body's temperature if layers can be removed or
added as necessary. When active,
remove a layer or two, and when
inactive, add layers.
• Use clothing that allows you to
keep yourself dry from the outside
and the inside.
• Pace yourself. Don't overexert.
It is possible to work up a sweat
even on a bitterly cold day. As perspiration dissipates, it cools the
body naturally, and can make the
body more susceptible to the cold.
• Drink plenty of fluids-the
body needs plenty of liquid. Do not
drink alcohol. It can speed up heat
loss, impair judgment and lead to
carelessness.
• Boaters should wear personal
flotation devices (PFD's) at all
times. Even the strongest swimmer
can survive only a matter of minutes in 40 degree water. The cold
water will sap a person's energy
and cause the victim's muscles to
stiffen, rendering them useless. If
the muscles become rigid, staying
afloat can become impossible.
PFD's reduce the victim's dependence on muscle activity and also
lessen the loss of body heat.
Moving in the water continually
circulates cold water in and out of
clothing, cooling the body.

hobby of genealogical and historical
research. But, as <?ithcr James proudly

And this is no ordinary gang. This is
the nortorious James and Younger Gang,
of which Fred and Joy have been members since June of this year.
"People look at the name Jesse James

Violence frequently erupted tn East Tennessee,
Kentucky and in Southwestern Virginia in the years
following the CtvJl War. Several churches sent additional preachers tnto the area to dissuade residents
from holding to their bitterness-ill feelings which
often led to bushwhacking.
Rev. H. C. Neal was one of these having been
appointed to an area including Scott County. one of
the westernmost counties in Virginia. Neal had heard
tales of Natural Tunnel. a natural formation in Scott
County, and looked forward to visiting the area.
Natural Tunnel, where Stock Creek emerges, is
one of the most scenic and Impressive sites in North
America. The million-year-old tunnel was formed by
groundwater oozing through cracks and crevices
which slowly dissolved the surrounding limestone.
After the cave was formed, Stock Creek took the path
of least resistance through the cave on its way to the
Clinch River.
The cliffs of the huge basin are nearly vertical and
just straight upward in places to a height of 500 feet.
The Virginia Park Service has constructed a wellmaintained walking trail with a railing along the high
ridges but in the early and mid-1800s it was overgrown with shrubs and trees will low-hanging branches.
One clear Sunday in 1866 found Rev. Neal preaching m Gate City When he mentioned h1s plans to call
on some residents living to the north the following
day Thomas Barger mentioned that he would be near
Natural Tunnel.
"Reverend, you'll be passing so close you should
stop and see it," Thomas Barger said.
"Splendid," the middle-aged preacher replied. "Oh,
I want to do that."
"Reverend Neal, ever since I was a little boy I've
heard about Lover's Leap there above the tunnel,"
Barger offered. "A Cherokee maiden named Winnoah
and a Shawnee warn or named Cochessa jumped from
the top of the cliff above Natural Tunnel to their
death.
"They had fallen in love and Cochessa went to
Winnoah's father who was the chief, and asked permission to marry. The chief wouldn't allow it because
of warring between the two tribes.
"The following morning Winnoah and Cochcssa
climbed to the highest nm of the basin with the rising
of the sun and jumped to their death."
"That's an intrigumg story," Rev. Neal replied. "I
do want to see it but I'll confess that I am not very
fond of heights. I fell out of the barn loft when I was a
kid and I've been ill-suited for roofing or anything
else involvin,g heights since."
Neal laid awake for an hour or more that night
thinking about Winnoah and Cochessa before failing
asleep.
Later the following day Rev. Neal rode his horse
which he called Sneezer through the branches toward
where he was told he could view Natural Tunnel. He
had acquired Sneezer prior to relocating in the westernmost reaches of Virginia and he was told that the
horse was given the monicker because of his frequent
sneezing.
The preacher rode along through the bushes when
all at once Sneezer started down an incline before
stopping abruptly. It happened so quickly that Rev.
Neal wasn't aware that he and his mount had reached
the edge of the chasm. In fact. he peered forward and
downward and further downward and began to get a
queasiness in hts stomach.
"Holy Jesus m heaven," he exclaimed.
Sneezer started and when he did his feet slipped
six inches or more leaving the horse and rider at a
steep angle JUSt mches away from the edge. The
preacher heard his heart beating fast and loud when
he looked down and saw two or three small pebbles
fall from the ledge and out of stght.
''Five hundred feet," he satd under his breath in
disbelief. "It must be at least a thousand and I've seen
all I want to see. SncClcr. let's get out of here."
He spoke with more authority to his mount as he
attempted to use the reins to turn the horse.
Sneezer attempted to respond but the loose, moist,
dirt caused him to slip again-right to the very edge
of the cliff overlooking the chasm below. The emptiness seemed to be pulling them. Rev. Neal knew they
were in great peril and when he noticed the horse
trembling he then knew that Snee1er was as frightened as he was.
"Easy does it," he said softly. "Easy docs it. Dear
Lord, don't let him sncctc now."
When the preacher noticed pebbles falling into the
abyss again, he thought about jumping off his horse
and grabbmg a nearby branch but then Sneezcr sat
back on hts haunches. Rev. Neal reached for a limb
and grabbmg it he then stepped off the horse.

DENTAL X-RAYS
For a de ntist to conduct a complete dental examinatiOn without
u:.ing dental x-rays, is hke \\ atching
1V with your eyes closed. "Why",
you may ask, "can't the dentist usc
his cyel> and trusty mirror to do the
same diagnosis?" Because, as the
---·unsinkable" Titanic discovered;
like icc' bcrgs, most serious dental
trouble is beneath the surface and
out of view.
Dental x-rays often reveal beginlling decay between the teeth or
beneath a fi lling or at the hottom of
a narrow pll or groove in the chewing surface. The amount of bone
s upporting teeth that has been
destroyed by periodontal disca~e.
the development of root abcesscs
and cysts, the presence of uncntpted
teeth or broken root fragments or
impacted teeth can only readily be
.detennined by x-rays since these
abnormalities are normally hidden
from view.
With modem, shielded equip•
ment and h1gh speed x-ray film,
.only a very small amount oi x-ray
radiation is required to take a complete set of pictures. It's less than
we normally receive from illuminated watch faces. The X-ray camera is one of the dentist's most valuable diagnostic tool.
PAUL REVERE-

was a practicmg dentist. A student

How far back docs the use of
nitrous oxide (laughing gas) go in
the annals o• ..:ntistry? In 181!4, Dr.
Horace Wells, an Amencan dentist,
demonstrated the propcrtie:. of
nitrous oxide by using it on h1mselr
while having his owr. tooth extracted.
How much dental care is needed

every dentist spent 24 hours a day,
every day of the year, just filling
cavities. there would still be one
billion cavities left unfilled in the
United States.

still working on a jar o f hot peppers
Myrtle gave me" : "Columbus
grows plants and Myrtle objectsstill Myrtle is the first one out with
seed catalogs in the spring": "My
Dad always headed for Columbus
and Myrtle's when he was feeling
depressed"; "you could always see
the love and concern for each other
in their eyes, especially in times of
sickness;'' "I appreciate them
because they had two wonderful
sons I was privileged to teach",
"there may be another couple as
good as these two in Floyd County,
but you won't find any couple any
better." Frequent nods of agreement
from other guests followed these
loving praises.
Columbus responded by thanking all those who had honored them
with their words and presence. He
attributed the couple's enduring
marriage
to
three
beings:
Columbus, Myrtle and God.

Kentucky
Department of Fish and Wildlife
will be collecting Christmas trees
from December 26 until January
15.
Trees may be dropped off in
front of the Eastern Kentucky
Department of Fish and Wildlife
office at Dewey Lake. These trees
will be used to create fish habitat.
The protective cover provided by
these trees will assist small fish in
escaping predation and thus hopefully increase the anglers' chances
at a better harvest.
This is an excellent opportunity
to recycle your used trees for the
betterment of the fishing at Dewey
Lake. Donators are requested to
remove all decorations and only
live (non-artificial ) trees will be
accepted.

Statewide survey indicates strong
support for community colleges
A statewide survey commissioned by the University of
Kentucky Communtty College
System shows that the majority of
Kentuckians give high marks to the
community colleges with nearly 79
percent expressing either excellent
or good ratings for the quality of
education provided to students and
that by a two-to-one margm,
Kentuckians believe that the
Community College System should
remain a part of the University of
Kentucky.
The survey was done by the
Preston Group, a Lexington finn, in
late October and early November.
Not only were Kentuckians
pleased with the quality of htgher
education in the state, the survey
said, bu£ they also were tn agreement that the universities and the
community colleges deserve more
state funding from the legislature.
Statewide, the figures showed 66.5
percent favored more funding. This
included 29.8 percent who strongly
agreed and 36.7 percent who somewhat agreed.
"Obviously, we are extremely
pleased with the results of this survey," said Ben W. Carr Jr., chancellor for the UK Communtty College
System. "Not only arc the people of
Kentucky pleased with the work of
the community colleges, but they
strongly approve more state funding."
Kentuckians consider cost, i.e.
tuition, a prohibited factor in
attendtng college. Some 55 percent
said the cost of a college education
means "most people in this area
cannot afford to attend school."
However, Kentuckians do ndt have
a problem with ''access" or geographical factors. When asked if
most people in the respondents'
area of Kentucky "don't have easy
access to a college or university
because they are too far away,"
only 27 percent strongly or somewhat agreed.
Some 67.5 percent of the citi·
zens viewed program expansions
by the Community College System
as "community responsiveness" as
opposed to a mere II percent who
claimed the system was "empire
building." This mcluded the constd·
eration of the system's plans to
merge Lees College with Hazard
Community College and the identi-
fied need for families in
Muhlenberg and Harrison counties.
One interesting result of the survey was the number of people in
Kentucky who know an employee,
student or graduate of a UK community college. This figure totaled
some 40 percent of all Kentuckians.
When asked which state agency
should control post secondary education-including that which is
vocationaVtechnical or degree oriented-nearly 70 percent of those
surveyed favored the Council for
Htgher Education as the agency
best prepared to coordinate post
secondary education, as opposed to
the Cabinet for Workforce
Development.
The survey also pointed out that
community college employees are
good ambassadors for the university and the Community College
System. Those people who personally know someone associated with
community colleges had a more
favorable impression of UK, the
Community College System and
other state universities.
When asked what the mission of
the Community College System
should be. Kentuckians were split
nearly evenly between "completing
the first two years of a four-year
college degree," and "providing
techntcal career programs leading
to two-year college degr~es." The
breakdown was 30.4 percent
thought technical training was most
important and 32.3 percent thought
completing the first two years of a
four-year degree most important.
About one-fifth (19.6 percent)
thought "community education"
was most important for the citizens
of the Commonwealth and 10 percent volunteered that they thought
all three were equally important.
The survey polled those households in the state in which someone
had voted tn at least three of the last
five general elections. The
statewide sample was 806. Those
respondents who were employed by
an institution of higher learning
and/or the Workforce Development
Cabinet were eliminated. The number of completed surveys on the
UK community college-related
questions was 690. The maximum
~ample error was plus or minus 3.7
percent.

Kentucky's workers' compensation system is out of balance and
poses a serious threat to the state's
economic future unless it undergoes a major reforn1 .
Those arc the findings of the
state's Workers' Compensation
Re-;carch Institute. which released
its rccomrnenllauons for change
recently.
"Worker's compensation misuse
ts the most critical issue facmg
Kentuck) businesses," said Billy
Harper, president of Paducah's
Harper Industries and a member of
the institute's board of directors.
'The system is unfai1, expensive
and an imp-::dtment to economic
growth. During the upcoming sesSion of the General Assembly, business needs to push for significant
changes that will reduce the enormous cost of workers' compensation insurance for employers and
ensure that those employees who
arc inJured on the job are appropriately compensated," he sa1d.
The Institute is an employerbased association which conducts
ongomg evaluation of Kentucky's
workers' compensation system to
identify potential problems and
propose solutions. The organization's 1993 report became the basis
for changes enacted by the 1994
legislature. Those changes, however, did not address the core cost drivers, Harper said.
The group noted that Kentucky's
cost-per-worker for workers' compensation was $519 in 1993.
A 1994 study by the University
of Kentucky's Center for Business
and Economic Research found that
since 1987 there has been a 400
percent increase in the number of
workers' compensation claims filed
and the average award for inJurtes
has more than doubled.
That dramatic jump ts not due to
an increased frequency of accidents, but rather a broadening of
what is deemed a compensable
injury, according to a recent report
by the Kentu:;ky Chamber of
Commerce Workers' Compensation
Task Force.
Harper blamed many of the sys·
tem's problems on a lack of clear,
objectives criteria for defitling
injury and disability, which has led
to increased litigation and high
attorney fees for workers' compensation claims.
"During the first six months of
1995, plaintiff attorneys in
Kentucky made $23.1 million out
of injured workers' claims. That is
money that should be going to peo
ple who have lcgillmately been
injured on the job," Harper satd.
"Those inJured workers are the
true victims. Their benefits arc
being lowered because of excessive
use of the system."
Harper noted that if significant
changes in the system are not made
soon, the economic cost to
Kentucky could be high. This ramoant cost of workers· compensation
insurance already frightens away
new businesses and stymies the
growth of existing industries.
The institute's legislative agenda
will include five specific recommendations for change
• Define injury. Close gaping
loopholes that encourage abuse and
_!_
W 1:.fd ern ess
penali.te those with genuine workrelated injuries.
• Define disability. Make the
system fair; set criteria that give
stmilar awards for similar injuries.
Reduce litigation costs.
Compensate deserving workers; tie
attorney fees in contested claims to
the amount of increase granted over
the otiginal offer, not the total
award.
• Set limitations. Set a two-year
limtt on when a claim can be
reopened: no limit currently exists.
• Set objective black lung standards. Tighten up the loose evaluation system; adopt black lung stan·
dards based on actual disabilities
The institute will work in conjunction with other groups in seeking sweeping legislative changes in
the state's workers' compensation
system. One such key partner will
be the Economtr Progress Initiative
Council, which includes the
Kentucky Chamber of Commerce,
the
Kentucky
Economic
Development Corporation. the
Kentucky Coal Alliance, the
National Federation of Independent
Busmess, the Kentucky Staffing
Services Association, and the
Northern Kentucky, Lexington and
Louisville Area Chambers of
ComJTierce.

PUBLIC NOTICE
TO ALL CUSTOMERS
OF SANOY VALLEY
WATER DISTRICT
Sandy Valley Water
District is a non-profit
organization whose rates
are among the lowest, if
not the lowest, in the state
of Kentucky. Customers of
all districts adjacent to
Sandy Valley have rates
higher
than
Sandy
Valley's. While maintain·
ing these low rates involve
efficient management, the
general public can play a
part in assuring that their
rates continue to remain
low by reporting to our
office any unauthorized
use of water. We have
found that one of the major
losses of water comes
from the unauthorized use
of water from fire hydrants.
The cost of this loss is
passed along to you, the
customer.
While some
request the metering of
usage from these hydrants
and some use is for fire
departments, for the most
part the use is not autho·
rized by Sandy Valley
Water District. We are,
therefore, requesting the
public report to our office
any use of water from
hydrants in our district. At
the office we will determine if the use is authorized or unauthorized. All
conversations will be kept
confidential and we will not
be askmg for your name,
just the location of the fire
hydrant. This will help to
keep our rates at the lowest possible levels and
save you, the customer,
those hard earned dollars.

Credit repair scams arc usually
advertised in the classified sections
of local newspapers, says Johnny
Cantrell, financial counselor with
Consumer Cred1t Counsehng
Service (CCCS).
The offers to clear up bad credtt
arc normally blind ads from companies who falsely prom1sc to remove
bad information from your credit
report for a fcc, Cantrell says.
Be alert if you arc told that information on your credit report can be
changed or erased by the credit
repair company, especially if they
ask for a large sum of money in
advance, Cantrell warns.
Even a money-back guarantee
will not protect you if the company
is dishonest. The bottom line about
credit rcpons is, if it is factual and
can be proven by the creditor, then
it cannot be taken off, he said.
However, according to Cantrell,
there are ways you can correct mistakes on your credit report.
Review your credit report for
any mistakes or information more
than seven years old (ten years for a
bankruptcy), he advises. Th1s information should be deleted from your
records. If you do not understand
something, ask. The credit bureau is
required by law to explain your
report to you.
If there are mistakes you can
take the following actions:
• Nottfy the credit bureau of the
problem and provide as much informatiOn as you can about what is
wrong with the report. The credit
bureau. at no charge to you, will
reinvestigate the disputed information. It then must correct any mistake or delete any information it
cannot verify. At your request, the
cred1t bureau must send a corrected
copy of your report to anyone who
received the incorrect version within the past six months.
• Sometimes, it is also helpful to
contact the creditor directly to
ensure that the creditor's records
are correct.
• If these steps do not resolve
matters, you can file a written statement of up to 100 words with the
credit bureau explaining your side
of the story. This explanation will
be included in your cred1t repon
each time a creditor pulls your
credit repon to view it.
• Remember - you can do anythang a cred1t repair company can
do - for free or for only a few dollars.
For more information about
credit repair scams or credit counseling, contact Johnny Cantrell,
CCCS credit counselor, at (606)
432-5337. Ask for a free video tape.
Consumer Credit Counseling
Service is a non-profit organization
that provides a free service to the
community. CCCS can help people
prevent bankruptcy, with a payment
reduction to their creditors. CCCS
can also put people on a budget and
teach them to live within a budget.
CCCS is located at 334 Main

(NAPS)- Save money by outfitting your old car with new parts.
Some of the new parts on the market can actually rejuvenate older
cars by overcoming old wiring,
weak battenes and cranky motors.
A revolutionary new spark plug,
for example, provides quicker starts
in all weather conditions, quicker
throttle response, smoother idle,
improved gas mileage and performance durability.
The performance difference of
the AC Rapidfire spark plug,
according to experts, is in the electrodes. "The conical, multi-point
center electrode improves startability," according to Dale Hostetler, an
engineer for Delphi Energy and
Engine. "The specially shaped nickel-silver ground electrode promotes
longer electrode life, is cooler running, and provides a smooth idle
and faster, more reliable starts."
The AC Rapidfire performance
spark plug is designed for the average driver in everyday road condi-
tions. Rapidfire can markedly
improve the drivability of cars that
are three to 15 years old. It can give
drivers peace of mind that their cars
will start more quickly and have
improved throttle responsiveness
when merging into traffic, while
also providing smoother idle with
greater fuel economy. This new
spark plug can save consumers $31
or more within the expected life of
the plug (based on up to two percent
greater fuel economy, 30,000 mile
change interval, 22 miles per gallon, and $1.15 per gallon for
unleaded gas).
Research turned up three key
areas where successful design adaptation would allow increased delivered energy:
1. minimizing heat loss to the
electrodes to reduce early flame
extinction or slowed kernel growth;
2. designing a pointed-tip electrode system to concentrate the
energy and allow the spark to jump
the gap under conditions where it
would otherwise not fire; and
3. movang the spark location
toward the center of the cylinder to
enhance flame convection and
reduce contact with the chamber
walls, which can flow or quench
flame growth.

Senior citizens are prime targets
for scams where people impersonating Internal Revenue Service
employees collect additional taxes
or request donations for bogus
charitable organizations.
The IRS has advice for people
who are contacted by someone
claiming to be an IRS agent; be
sure to ask for IRS adentification.
All IRS employees are required to
carry and present identification
when calling on taxpayers. But
generally, the IRS uses mail and
telephone to contact people who
may owe additional tax. Beware of
anyone claiming to work for IRS
who comes to your home unannounced, tells you that you owe
additional tax and that they will be
glad to accept your tax payment.
Also, beware of bogus organizations requesting contributions for
charity. While there are many legitimate organizations that have
received tax-exempt status from
IRS, there are some fraudulent
groups who prey on the elderly by
posing as representatives of bona
fide tax-exempt organizations.
The IRS asks you to call your
local IRS Inspection office to report
an individual or group that you sus-
by Esther Peterson
One morning, not too long ago,
I read a story that truly surprised
me. It seems that millions of
Americans are spending hundreds,
and in some cases, thousands of
dollars to lease telephones they
could purchase for as little as $25.
Many are older Americans who
continue to lease telephones from
AT&T.
Prior to the breakup of AT&T in
1984, all Americans leased their
telephones. According to a
Washington Post story, the rental
cost of a Touchtone telephone is
$6.45 per month or $77.40 per
year. For someone renting a telephone since the AT&T breakup,
that cost comes to $777.40, when
they could have purchased a phone
for a one-time cost of $25. For
older people, living on fixed
incomes, the potential savings are
significant.
AT&T has stated that the average age of their leasing customers
is 55 years old. Advocacy groups
including the Gray Panthers, the
National Council for Senior
Citizens and United Seniors Health
Cooperative are concerned enough
to ask federal regulators to step in.
They believe that leasing compa-
pect are involved in tax scams. If a
local listing is unavailable in your
telephone directory, call toll free l-
800-829-1 040.
nies have an obligation to disclose
the rental amount paid over the life •
of the agreement and the estimated
replacement cost.
I agree and have petitioned federal regulators to address this issue.
In the meantime, all consumers
should take the following steps:
• Check monthly bills for leasing charges. Compare them to the
cost of buying a telephone at your
local discount store.
• Shop for telephones and telephone servaces like other consumer
products. Compare prices and ser- Ji.
vices and choose which is appro- •
priate for you.
• Consider joining a long distance calling program. If you spend
more than $10 a month on long dis·
tance, you could save money.
• Follow traditional savings
strategies. Make long distance calls
on weekends and during off-peak
hours.

At AR!i we also understand that no two patients are
alike. That's why our staff pndes itself on treating
our patients as they should be treated: as unique
individuals with their own special needs and concerns.
We also realize that our patients are the parents,
children, spouses, friends, colleagues, or neighbors of
someone. Each is special, and cared about by others. Our
job is to determine how we can best meet each patient's
unique needs, as well as the needs of that person's friends
and family, while he or she is under our care.
Quite simply, we understand the value of quality
health care with a personal touch.
To all of the special people we have had
the privilege of serving during 1995, we
extend warm wishes for a happy holiday
season and a wonderful new year filled
with loy, peace, and good health.

nutrients in food (as in oversteamed vegetables) or add fat (as
in frying meat or fish).
Cookmg in a Romertopf
Nature's Oven avoids over-cooking while it eliminates the need for
added fats.
Here's how it works. You soak
the clay pot in water before it's
placed inside the oven, allowmg it
to create and mamtain moisture
that cooks recipes to perfection,
but prevents nutrients from escaping.
Clay cooking not only saves
nutnents, it also saves time.
Simply soak the pot in water for 510 minutes, place ingredients
inside and place the whole pot in a
cold oven set at 400-450 degrees.
Then just walk away. Plan your
next trip, plant some flowers in the
garden, play with the kids or
grandchildren or soak in the tub
for 45 minutes to an hour while
the Romertopf Nature's Oven
cooks your meal.
Before cooking, meats can be
trimmed of all fat. Even poultry
cooked without skin comes out
moist, tender, flavorful and
browned with no need for basting.
Meat, potatoes, rice and vegetables can all be cooked together
to make nutnttous and flavorful
one-pot meals, or they can be prepared separately.
This ingenious single cooking
vessel can serve as a soup kettle, a
roaster for meat and poultry, a
stew pot, a meat loaf pan, a fish
poacher, a vegetable steamer, an
all-purpose
container
for
microwave cooking, a deep-dish
pie pan, a souffle dish and even a
little brick oven for bread that is
crusty on the outside and soft on
the inside.
Most recipes can easily be
adapted
to
clay
cookery.
Romertopf clay pots are available
in a variety of sizes, from the
Maxi which holds a 17-lb. turkey
to a 2-4 lb. capacity pot. They are
unglazed to ensure perfect absorption.

oven and cook for another 30 minutes
Remove the chicken and vegetables and keep warm. Strain off
the sauce into a saucepan and
reduce if necessary. The amount of
sauce can be increased by adding
5 oz. of chicken stock to the sauce
and thickening it with 2/3 tsp.
cornstarch dissolved in 3 Tb. cold
water. Whisk well until the sauce
is brought to boil and thickens.
Adjust seasoning and serve
with the chicken and vegetables.
Boiled potatoes sprinkled with
parsley are a delicious accompaniment to this meal.

Some resist the concept of brain death
by M.R. Hiller
Q: We are in the holiday season,
and I ju<:t hope you can remind people of the biggest gift an individual
can give another. There ts an
Incredible shortage of organs for
transplantation. Donor cards are
readily available: they just need to
be signed to communicate a dying
wish to others. Reluctance to sign
these cards stems from personal or
religious benefits, but often the real
concern is the definition of brain
death. Please explain what criteria
are used to proclaim someone
dead? Has anyone ever been proclaimed brain dead who then sur
vived?-Concerncd doctor, New
York City
A: Guidelines for proclaiming an
individual "brain dead" generally
require proof that all functions of
the brain, including the brain stem,
are irreversibly gone. Experts say
they believe the guidelines and
practices in the United States are
stringent and free of conflict of
interest, and they say an incorrect
diagnosis of brain death has never
been made in any adult in the
United States.
"Irreversible loss of all brain
function is easy to diagnose in
adults. A well-trained neurologist,
neurosurgeon or critical care physician can do so at the bedside on the
basis of (patient) examination
alone," writes Dr. Stuart Youngner,
professor of psychiatry and biomedical ethics at Case Western
Reserve University School of
Medicine in Cleveland. "No patient
with irreversible loss of all brain
function has either regained consciousness or "lived" for more than
hours, days or, m a few instances
weeks--despite the most aggressive treatment possible." Youngner
published his study in the May issue
of Archives of Neurology. He and
other experts are careful to distinguish between adults and fhildrcn
because children have different
recuperative powers.
Every
year
approximately
185,000 adults in the United States
suffer serious head injuries. Many
are taken to hospitals and severely
brain·injured patients may need to
be placed on ventilators and other
equipment to keep their hearts and
lungs working.
It was these relatively recent
advances in equipment that can
keep a body functioning, along with
the ability to transplant organs, that
created the need for a term such as
"brain death." Families and healthcare facilities were increasingly
burdened by severely brain-damaged patients. And transplant specialists needed a system that would
let them take organs from hopelessly injured people. In response, a
committee of physicians, attorneys
and bioethicists met in 1968 at
Harvard Medical School in Boston
and put forth a new definition of
death: the total and Irreversible loss
of functioning of the whole brain.
They reported their conclusions in
the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Just one year earlier, in 1967, the
first heart-transplant surgery had
been performed. Since then, heart,
heart-lung, kidney, liver and other
organ transplants have gained popularity and success.
Yet, as with many things, technology has outpaced the development of a philosophy about how it
The definition of brain death
Here are generally agreed upon guidelines used to establish brain death.
• Several doctors must review the case One should be a specialist
with expertise In Intensive care of severely brain-damaged patients. No
doctor associated with the transplant team should participate.
• The problem is considered irreversible when the physicians have
established the cause of the patient's coma, when that cause is sufficient
to account for the loss of brain function, when there Is no chance any
brain function will return, and when all brain functions have been absent
for an appropriate period (usually 24 hours or more).
• There are cases that require special consideration: when drug
intoxication, hypothermia or shock are involved,
and when the patient is a child.
• Physicians look for the absence of cerebral
and brain stem functions to determine brain death:
There must be deep coma, meaning
there is no brain response to stimuli.
Confirmation may require use of a brain
blood-flow study and/or an
electroencephaologram (EEG), which
measures electrical activity in the brain.
Et An experienced physician using
U adequate stimulation finds no
responses to eye, ear and throat tests.
!:1 Breathing must be absent (apnea).
1::.1 This test must be done carefully.
There should be no reflexes, no
Ill spontaneous movements; no motor
responses of any kind to pain or other stimulus.

is applied. As a result, the demand
for organs is far greater than the
supply. For instance, every year
approximately 20,000 patients arc
in need of a heart transplant, but
only about 2,000 suitable donor
hearts become available. The
demand for organs could be met if
all the people who eventually end
up with irreversible brain damage
had agreed to donate their organs.
Why don't people donate more?
Studies show that the reasons for
reluctance cited most often are:
-a fear of being declared dead
improperly, such as you expressed
-religious beliefs
--concerns of members of ethnic minorities that the organs arc
directed to the white population
-a general feeling of uneasiness
about the issue
'The subject of brain death has
three components-medical, ethical and philosophical," Youngner
said in an interview. "To medically
identify that a brain stem is irre·
versibly destroyed is rather straightforward, but the ethical and philosophical issues surrounding the
brain death are complex and interrelated."
Before respirators arrived, dying
was defined as the time when the
heart stopped beating, he continued.
"Now, with modem technology, we
find ourselves teasing apart the
dying process. The brain may be
dead, but the heart and other systems still alive. To accept the idea
of brain death, we have to be willing to declare someone dead even in
the face of signs of life. Where you
are willing to draw that line is a
philosophical issue. Ethically, our
obligations to the living are different than to the dead. When is it pcrmissable to stop treatment and
allow a person to die, and when is it
permissible to take organs from a
living person? You solve some of
the ethical and philosphical issues
by
redefining
death,"
said
Youngner.
As our society has become
familiar with the issues, both the
legal and medical commumtles
have come to officially support the
concept of brain death. But studies
point out numerous areas where the
concept is still difficult to accept.
For instance, even when a
patient has been proclaimed brain
dead, and all involved agree that
only machines are keeping the body
functioning, half of the physicians
noting time of death on a death certificate will write the time the heart
stopped beating-not the time
when brain death was determined, a
study has shown.
And our everyday use of language continues to support the term
"brain death" as if it were different
from being legally dead. You never
hear the term "heart dead." News
reports often speak of brain dead
people being "kept alive" on "life
support" equipment until organs are
removed or the life support is
stopped and the patient can "die."

Just as you can count on those
beautifully colored autumn leaves
that fell from the trees, you can
count on the flu. Influenza will
affect up to 50 million Americans
this flu season, October to May. So,
how do you avoid the aches, chills,
fever, sneezing and coughs associated with this annoying disease?
"A good way to avoid the flu is
to get a flu shot," says Spencer
Turner, M.D., director of the
University Health Service. "To be
covered for the nu season, you
r.hould get your shot in October or
early Novemher since it takes up to
30 days for the shot to become fully
effective.''
Influenza is a highly contagious
viral mfection of the respiratory
system that is easily transmitted
through neezing, cough mg. or con-
..
tact with contaminated areas, such
as doorknobs and telephones.
Class1c symptoms include general
malaise, shaking. chills and fever,
headaches and a dry cough. These
symptoms can last up to a week and
vary in severity from person to person.
The flu virus frequently changes
and new strains develop from year
to year. At the end of each flu season, experts at the Centers for
Disease Control make an educated
guess about which strain will be
prevalent the following season.
Since this year's shot only deters
this year's virus, you need to be
vaccinated every year.
Anyone who is not pregnant,
allergic to eggs, chickens, feathers
or gentamicm (an antibiotic) and
wants protection from the flu can
get a flu shot. High risk groups,
including persons over the age of
65, those with long-term health
conditions or immune deficiency,
and health care workers who have
contact with high-risk individuals
should
also be
vaccinated.
Unfortunately, the vaccine is only
70 to 80 percent effective in detering the virus, although studies have
shown that vaccmated individuals
who contract the virus experience
less severe side effects.
If you are unfortunate enough to
succumb to the flu, your doctor can
prescribe one of two antiviral
drugs, rimantadine (Aumadine) or
amantadine (Symmetrel), which
can shorten your illness by preventing the virus from reproducing.

(NAPS)-Congratulntions_:_
you made it through the holidays. If
you're like most people, however,
you're beginning the year with a
few extra pounds, the result of too
many holiday parties and too little
exercise.
An estimated five million people
will counter thetr over-indulgence
with a New Year's resolution to
lose weight. For most people these
resolutions are short-lived. An estimated 75 percent will abandon their
resolution by the end of January.
Weight management expert
Jenny Craig, whose first-ever cookbook-The
Jenny
Craig
Cookbook-is due out just in time
for the New Year. said most people
are not prepared to manage the psychological challenges related to
weight management. "We generally
know which foods are healthy and
which are not, and we know to limit
calories and fat," she said, "but all
this wisdom is futile unless we can
control the emotional and environmental situations that can lead to
overeating."
To help people succeed with
those resolutions to lose weight,
Jenny Craig offers the folio"' ing
tips.
Set reasonable goals. Don't
make your resolution any more
demanding by trying to achieve a
weight that may be too difficult.
And don't develop an "all or nothing" attitude. Even small amounts
of weight Joss can bring substantial
health benefits.
Be patient. Don't expect to lose
weight too rapidly. Experts say a
reasonable amount of weight loss is
1-2 pounds per week.
Don't starve yourself. Contrary
to many optmons about dieting and
weight loss. you don't have to forsake all of the foods you enjoy. Just
eat them less often and in smaller
portions.
Dish out your food before bringing it to the table, and use a smaller
plate to make your portions look
larger.
Focus on changing your eating
behavior. You must break the habits
that led to your weight gain. Plan
your meals ahead of time. Write
your shopping list when you're not
hungry, and shop for groceries on a
full stomach. Eat only when sitting
at the kitchen or dining room table
instead of nibbling while doing
other things.
Share your resolution with others. Fncnds and family are excellent sources of motivation and support. If they know you're serious
about managing your weight,
they'll be less likely to foil your
resolution by tempting you with
unplanned vistts to the pizza parlor
or bringing unwelcome gifts of
food to your home or office.
Exercise. Along with proper
nutrition, exercise is the most beneficial activity you can do to manage
your wetght. You'll not only bum
calories but you 'II reduce stress and
divert your attention from eating.
There arc plenty of opportunities to
exercise this time of year despite
inclement weather. Take a walk, go
dancing or build a snowman.
These simple suggestions can
help you fulfill your New Year's
resolution to lose weight. Credible
weight management programs,
such as the one offered by Jenny
Craig, can also help. To reach the
nearest Jenny Craig centre, call tollfree l-800-43·JENNY.

impossible to measure how much
orthodontics can improve a
patient's self-confidence."
Many people are eager to tell
how braces have changed their
lives. Here are just three of them:
Joe Miller
Miller originally sought orthodontic treatment to rid himself of
difficulties he experienced with
eating. In fact, his teeth and jaws
were so badly out of alignment that
he didn't look forward to meals.
Today, Miller is emphatic when
he says orthodontic treatment has
been the "single most significant
improvement in my health."
Plus, Miller discovered an unexpected benefit after treatment-he
had less trouble keeping his teeth
clean. "I cannot help but believe,"
Miller says, "that (treatment) will
ultimately extend the life of my
teeth." He now looks forward to
bringing his children for treatment.
Sally BorJa
Borla, retired and in her 50s,
didn't dream she'd ever wear
braces. Now she can't imagine why
she didn't start earlier. "I'd always
related braces to young people, but
I guess I'm living proof that it
doesn't matter how old a person
is," BorJa says. "When I look in the
mirror, I can hardly believe that the
smile looking back at me is mine."
•
BorJa's dental treatment team
advised her to have an orthodontist
evaluate and correct her bite-otherwise her teeth, she recalls,
"would soon be lost."
"The need to preserve my teeth
has convinced me that treatment
was one of the wisest choices I've
ever made," BorJa says. "After all,
good dental health is every bit as
important as my overall physical
health." BorJa continues to wear a
retainer to matntain her attractive
and healthy results.
Rene Sorrell, Joe Miller and
Sally Borla are among thousands in
the United States and Canada who
are grateful they sought orthodontic treatment. And today, they're
confident they have a smile that's
good for life.

they took a pounding in public
opinion polls until the truth became
generally known.
Well, similar scare tactics are
driving the Medicare debate, as
some Democrats are demagoguing
the GOP's proposal to save $270
billion during the next seven years
by slowing the program's projected
growth from 10 percent to 7 percent
each year.
Never mind that the GOP's market-based approach could save even
more, while delivering quality
health care to seniors. Democrat
alarmists warn of Draconian cuts
that will compel many Health
Maintenance Organizations to
dump their Medicare patieqts. The
most common canard is that frazzled, middle-age married couples
will have little choice but to send
Grandma packing to the nearest
nursing home.
In terms of credibility, the
Medicare bogyman is right up there
with the starVing of schoolchildren.
So suggests Matthew Miller in the
December 11 edition of The New
Republic, which should be required
reading for retirees as well as those
who are still working for a living.
Miller's fascinating article
points out that the federal govern-
ment is paying far more for medical
services than private insurers in
many American cities. For instance,
he found that a common catheter
procedure to measure urine flow
cost private plans 43 percent to 62
percent less than Medicare in San
Diego, Phoenix, Cleveland and
Research Triangle, North Carolina.
In fact, he found that discounted
prices paid by HMOs and other
forms of managed care are causing
a downward trend in health care
costs. California's large private carriers, for instance, have gained an
unprecedented 14 percent price
rollback during the last two years.
That helps explain why many of
these carriers are projecting overall
premiums to drop 20 percent by
century's end.
Having chided Democrats for
their disingenuousness on the
Medicare debate, Miller scores
Republicans for engaging in the1r
own brand of social engineering by
shepherding patients mto Medicaresanctioned HMOs.
He believes that GOP lawmakers
should have faith in their free-market princ1ples and enable seniors to
choose their own private carriers
without the aid of a federal chaperone.
This could, he reasons, bring
about even greater savings in a program that currently accounts for 12
percent of the federal budget.
Miller concludes that the purported Medicare-payment gap
being portrayed by President
Clinton and Democratic political
strategists is akin to John Kennedy
exploiting the fictitious "missile
gap" during his 1960 presidential
campaign.
Gingrich and GOP lawmakers
should stand firm on this issue
because the facts are on their side.
(NAPS)-A new medical pro-
many community hospitals have
traditionally been unable to use the
intra-aortic balloon pump be.cause
they lack back-up technology or do
not have physicians and nurses with
training or experience in the use of
balloon pumps.
In answer to this problem,
Datascope Corporation, the market
leader in balloon pumping, is developing Cardiac Survival Networks
(CSN), which facilitate trainmg,
communication, and use of IABP
therapy and build working relationships between community hospitals
and full-service cardiac receiving
centers to save more lives.
The program offers training and
technical support to the community
hospitals from the major medical
centers to which they refer.
Unique
telecommunication
capabilities built into the Datascope

gram is helping community hospi-
tals deal with the number one killer
in the world-heart attacks.
There are about 1.25 million
heart attacks annually in the U.S.
and at least seventy percent of all
heart attack victims go to local
community hospitals for help.
However, commumty hospitals
often lack the technology that can
improve heart attack victims'
chance of survival.
Many patients must wait until
they can be transferred to a major
medical center, risking further damage to their hearts, and even death.
According to recent medical
sources, a device known as the
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP),
can improve the outcome for some
heart attack victims by reducing the
work load of the heart and, at the
same time, increasing the blood
flow to that damaged heart.
When the heart lacks sufficient
oxygen, due to blocked coronary
arteries or other problems, it must
work harder to provide vital blood
circulation.
IABP therapy assists the heart
during both its rest and work phases.
In the rest phase, the balloon
inflates, increasing the supply of
oxygen-rich blood to the coronary
arteries.
In the work phase, the balloon
deflates, decreasing the work load
of the heart.

As millions of Americans ring in
the new year, they will make resolutions about what they want to
accomphsh in their work and personal lives. According to William
L. Roper, M.D., chief medical officer of The Prudential HealthCare
System and former director of the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, the most promising
resolutions are aimed at improving
one's health through changes in
lifestyle or habits.
"Making New Year's resolutions
to take on a healthier lifestyle needn't be seen as unpleasant," said Dr.
Roper. "Within a short time, feehng
healthier with more energy convinces people that a new approach
to behaviors like diet and activity is
worthwhile and improves one's
quality of life." He offers the following tips to ensure a healthier
and happier 1996:
• Don't smoke. According to the
American Cancer Society, 46 million Americans smoke today,
despite the fact that it increases the
risk for a number of deadly diseases. If you want to quit smoking,
smoking cessation programs can
provide the support and reinforcement needed during the difficult
withdrawal period. Check with
your employer or health plan to
find out if these programs are
offered.
• Watch your diet. Routine physical inactivity and overeating can
lead to obesity and htgh blood cholesterol-major risk factors for
heart disease. To help reduce risk,
limit intake of foods containing saturated fat, such as meat and dairy
products. On average fat intake
should represent no more than 30
percent of your total daily calories.
And daily cholesterol intake should
be limited to 250 to 300 milligrams.
Regular exercise-ideally at least
three times a week-<an also help
strengthen and condition the heart.
• Schedule routine screenings. If
you are a woman aged 50 and
above, the National Cancer
Institute recommends that you get a
routine mammography screening
every one to two years. However, if
you are under 50 and have a family
history of breast cancer, check with
your health care provider to see if
you fall under the increased risk
category for a routine, periodic
mammography. Initial blood pressure and cholesterol screenings are
also highly recommended.
• Manage your stress. Stress can
have a negative impact on your
health. Stress-related disorders,
such as alcoholism, heart disease,
ulcers, hypertension and emotional
distress, have become common
among Americans. However, stress
management programs, offered by
many employers, teach a variety of
strategies and behaviors to help
achieve and maintain happier,
healthier and more productive
lives.
through their on-line computers at
the receiving hospital, sometimes
many miles away, to view data from
the intra-aortic balloon pump in a
patient at a community hospital.
If patients receive timely IABP
support at community hospitals,
they are more likely to arrive at
major medical centers in more stable condition.
Dr. Robert J. Freedman, an interventional cardiologist and Clinic
Assistant Professor of Medicine at
Thlane Medical Center in New
Orleans, states; "We expect the time
to treatment for acute myocardial
infarctions with cardiogenic shock
pauents to be improved with the
widespread implementation of
CSNs " Dr. Freedman is the coongmator of the CSN concept.

Whether the lure is vast glacial
ice fields or stream-belching volcanic moonscapes, the United
States' junior states both offer a
wealth of scenic vistas and an
easy way to sample them-cruising.
Touring the ports of Alaska or
the islands of Hawaii from a ship
means unpacking just once, then
simply setting in for the show.
AN ALASKAN ADVENTURE
More than 20 shtps, from luxult ry liners to small expedition ves
sets, ply Alaskan waters from May
to September.
Most sail along the Inside
Passage, a meandering thousandmile
waterway
between
Vancouver, B.C., and Skagway.
The SS Universe, floating campus of the University of Ptttsburgh
for eight months of the year, carries 550 passengers on two-week
summer saihngs from Vancouver.
It makes eight ports of call-more
stops than any other Alaskan
cruise.
Those with Elderhostel tastes
feel right at home. The Universe
boasts an extensive library on
Alaska, along with a cadre of
• experts who lecture on the anthropology, history, biology and geology of the 49th state.
Classical music, light opera,
pop vocalists and fitness workshops round out shipboard activities. But the star attractions are

You might not have "Meet a
bear" on the list of things to do on
your next vacation, but such
encounters occur in nearly every
state outside the Great Plains, says
Tom Puchlerz of the U.S. Forest
Service. It's important you learn the
bare essentials about such bear
encounters.

BEAR ADVICE
Tom Puchlerz of the U.S. Forest
Service and Kathi Green of the
Colorado Division of Wildlife suggest taking the following actions:

some 40 optional shore excursions.
In Jueaneau the "pilot's
choice" helicopter safari lifts you
smoothly through a mountain pass
to the immense Juneau ice fields.
The pilot may choose to land on
Taku Glacier, where you can walk
on a river of icy crevasses thousands of years old.
Skagway, at the northern
extreme of the Inside Passage,
offers the opportunity to visit a
salmon hatchery or retrace the
route of Yukon gold prospectors
via van, bus or rail.
Downtown buildings have been
restored to their turn-of-the century appearance as part of Klondike
Gold Rush National Historical
Park.

-If you spot a bear before it
spots you, retreat while talking to
alert it to your presence. Speak
slowly and quietly to communicate
you mean no harm.
-Walk away slowly-never
turn your back on a bear. Don't
approach a bear or run away.
Sudden movements can provoke a
bear.
-If you're hiking on a trail, step
off on the downhill side.
-Avoid direct eye contact,
which can be seen as threat.
-If attacked, fight back. This
tactic has been successful in driving
away bears.

Kentucky, one of the most scenic
states in the nation, just added to its
officially designated Scenic Byway
Program a 14th Scenic Byway U.S.-62, the Midway-Versailles
Road. This byway, six miles in
length, begins at Parrish Avenue in
Midway, a town named for its location midway between Lexington
and Frankfort and Versailles and
Georgetown, and extends to the
junction of U.S.-60 in Versailles.
Views include a variety of large
.,_ open pastures, woodlands and
ponds. The route runs by beautifully landscaped farms including
Fawn Leap, Shadowlawn, Adena
Springs, Stonewall and Lane's End
and by several historic sites including the Offutt-Cole Tavern. A mixture of old stone fences and wood
plank fences blends the historic
qualities of the roadway with the
current working farms of the area.
Developed by employees within
of
the
Cabinet's
Division
Transportation Planning, the Scenic
Byway Program provides a unique
opportunity to preserve some of
Kentucky's most scenic and historic
roadways.
Applications
are
reviewed by the Division, the
appropriate Highway District
Office and the Scenic Highways
and Byways Screening Committee,
made up of representatives from the
Kentucky Heritage Council and the
Transportation
and
Tourism
Cabinets. Consideration is given to
routes which have aesthetic, cultural, historical, or archaeological
value worthy of preservation,
restoration, protection and enhancement.
Based on strong local and/or
regional support and commitment,
the program encourages local citizen's groups to submit routes for
possible designation as a Scenic
Highway or Byway.
Transportation Secretary Don C.
Kelly said the cooperation and
enthusiasm exhibited by the sponsoring groups has been outstanding.
"This is exactly the kind of public participation we were hoping
for," he said. ''These partnerships
are serving to protect the unique
characteristics and resources of
Kentucky while promoting tourism
(NAPS)-Some of the nation's
top truck drivers with more than
100 million accident-free miles
among them are offering useful
safety tips to help motorists and
truckers share the road.
Staying clear of a truck's "blind
spots" and keeping a safe distance
between your automobile and a
truck are just two of several safe
driving tips suggested by a select
• group of truck drivers to make the
nation's highways safer.
The safe driving advice comes
from a survey of 45 recent
inductees of America's Road Team
of the American Trucking
Association and 1S life members of
the National Private Truck
Council's Driver Hall of Fame.
The survey taken in conjunction
of
with
a
Department
Transportation "Sharing The
Road" public service program
46 asked truck drivers what advice
they had for motorists. These were
the most frequently given suggestions:
• Avoid tailgating.
• Stay out of the blind spots to
the sides and the rear of trucks.
This is known as the "No-Zone."
• Do not exceed speed limits.
• Use turn signals.
• Maintain speed when passing
a truck.
• Do not pull in front of a truck
unless it is visible in your rear-view
mirror.
"It is important for motorists to
realize how dangerous some unintentional driving behavior can be,"
Federal Highway Administrator
Rodney E. Slater said. "This survey clearly identifies areas where
all drivers can work together to
avoid accidents."
An informative brochure about
the No-Zone and sharing the road
with trucks safely is available free
by calling the No-Zone hotline at

including Cordell Hull Highway,
Old Kentucky Turnpike, River
Road, Riverboat Row, Big Bone

Pike, Boone Creek, Shakertown
and Duncan Hines Highway. Three
additional routes were recommended and approved in May, 1995 and
included US-68, the Great River
and Pine Mountain Road.
HAWAIIAN
HOSPITALITY
The Independence and the
Constitution, both recently refurbished historic ocean liners, sail
every week out of Honolulu on
seven-night voyages to Hawaii's
most famous destinations. You'll
have plenty of time for
sight-seeing when the
ships tie up at ports-plus
a wide choice of guided
shore excursions at each
stop.
Maui has so much to
offer that your ship docks
for two days at the port of
Kahului.
Be sure to reserve one
day for a tour around the
almost undeveloped eastern shore-a wonderland
of rugged cliffs, rampant
vegetation and spectacular
beaches.
Delight in freshwater ponds to
splash in and a little town called
Hana that time forgot.
The most enjoyable way to
visit is by rental car, but you must
feel at ease driving a narrow,
winding road.
Check on the weather, and
make sure the rental agency
allows you to take the vehicle on
this excursion-not all of them
do. In any case, you can join a
guide van tour.
On your other day on Maui,
take a morning ride up Haleakala,
the volcano that dominates the
island. In the afternoon, browse
the historic sights of old Lahaina,
a great spot for shopping and people-watching.
It's from Hilo on the Big
Island's tropical rain-forest side
that a highway climbs Mauna Loa,
the lofty domain of the fire goddess at Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park.
A road circles Mauna Loa's
two-mile-wide crater, a mysterious moonscape of steam-belching
fissures. Be sure to take sweaters
on this trip into the volcano's
chilly cloud cap. Right outside
Hilo, you'll find the Hani Mau
Gardens.
On the sunny resort coast of the
Big Island, the shtp ties up at
Kona. Here you can relax on
palm-fringed beaches, go deep
sea fishing or enjoy snorkeling in
the crystal waters of the
Kealakekua
Bay
Marine
Sanctuary.
The unforgettable visit on
Kauai is to Waimea Canyon, a
gorge almost the size of Arizona's
Grand Canyon and equally rich in
color.
You also can ride a riverboat to
the island's famous Fern Grotto
and witness tidal waterspouts
erupting from gashes in lava slabs
washed by the Pacific.
Be sure to spend at least one
extra day on Oahu before or after
your cruise. The USS Arizona
Memorial at Pearl Harbor is a
must-see.
The viewing gallery above the
sunken battleship is accessible
only by Navy launch, a pilgrimage
so popular you may have to wait
in line for hours and sometimes
won't get on at all. Your best
chance is to join a Roberts motorcoach tour that gets reserved
places on the launch.
Another attraction you don't
want to miss is the Polynesian
Cultural Center, a 42-acre outdoor
museum of South Pacific civilizations.
Cruises cost $995-$3,000 per
person, plus airfare. For a cruise

(NAPS)-Check the otl. Check
the brakes. Check your eyes?
A complete eye exam by an eyecare professional can make a driving vacation safer, says the Better
Vision Institute (BVl), since drivers
rely on their eyes to make most driving decisions.
"Good vision enables drivers to
determine safe passing distance, see
curves or sharp turns in the road and
judge braking distance," says
Harold Davis, an Illinois-based
optometrist and a BVI Advisory
Council member.
A professional eye exam can
detect vision problems that may
hamper driving habits, and often
these conditions can be easily corrected with glasses, contact lenses
or vision therapy.
Here are some safe driving tips
from BVI:
• Clean car windows and remove
obstructions for all-around visibility.
• Try to limit driving at night,
dawn, dusk and in adverse weather
conditions.
• Avoid dnving when feeling
tired or while taking medications
that cause drowstness.
• Move eyes frequently to avoid

Patricia Leonard is "getting on with her
life."
Leonard, a native of Floyd County, was
a high school drop out. She left school
three months before her graduation and
moved to Cleveland, Ohio.
She started working in a factory where
she met her husband. After starting a family, she decided to stay home with her
children.
Eighteen years later, she moved back to
Floyd County. As a divorced mother of ten
children, she ended up on welfare.
But things have changed for the better
for Leonard. She earned her GED and on
December 16 earned her associate's
degree m sociology from Morehead State
University.
"Before I went back to school, it was
awful," she said. "I was on welfare and it
was pretty rough. But I got my GED and
here I am."
Leonard decided to get her GED
because of new requirements that say aid
recipients should have a high school
diploma or 1ts equivalent to qualify for
help.
She earned hers at MSU's Adult
Learnmg Center. The ALC offers adults
the opportunity to learn to read, improve
theu basic education skills, prepare for the
GED test or prepare for admission to a
post secondary institution
While at the ALC, Leonard was recruit
ed into MSU's Job Trammg Partnership
Act program by Dorothy Walter, the JTPA
coordinator.
"I was there looking for people who
were interested in coming to MSU for a
college education and she was very
eager," Walter said.
Leonard enrolled in a two-year degree
program at MSU, taking classes in criminology and soc1ology.
"I was very determined to go back to
school so I could be independent,"
Leonard said. "I couldn't even see myself
in college until Dorothy encouraged me."
Through JTPA, Leonard was identified
by the Green Thumb program as a potential participant.
Federally funded under Title V, the
Older Americans Act, Green Thump provides part-time employment and training
opportunities for people who are 55 years
old or older and are economically disad•
vantaged.
The job experience must be with a nonprofit corporation.
Since Leonard was already on campus,
Green Thumb placed her with the Office

Stroke is the third leadmg cause of death
m the United States and the No. 1 cause of
disability.
The American Heart Association points
out that strokes killed 143,640 people in
1992 and accounted for about one of every
15 U.S. deaths. Many who do survive a
brain attack find that the quality of their
lives is lessened significantly by the aftereffects.
One of the eas1est ways to eliminate a
major risk factor for stroke is to not smoke.
Especially if you are older, smoking
increases tJle chances of having a stroke and
heart disease. As people age, their artery
walls gradually thicken.
Cigarette smoking accelerates this
process. In fact, studies show that smoking
can add ten years of age to your arteries and
increase the chances that they will become
clogged.
The clogging process occurs as cigarrette smoke causes the platelets in the blood
to become sticky and cluster.
This situation, in tum, can lead to atherosclerosis, which means the artery walls
have become thickened due to deposits of
fat, cholesterol and other substances. That

Need further convincing? The nicotine
in tobacco smoke can increase your blood
pressure temporarily, while carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen the blood
supplies to the body.
Obviously, just as smoking is tied to
brain attacks, it is also linked to heart disease, the nation's number one killer. Even
worse, smoking-related illnesses accounted
for the deaths of about 417,000 Americans
in 1990.

After numerous phone calls and e-mail messages
to ~ North Pole, Santa Claus stopped loading his
s~e1gh long enough to answer a few pre-holiday quesuons.
He said production of toys is running on schedule
and that his elves are working ovenime to get the job
done.
"But we•ve never had a problem before, so it
shfiuldn' be one this year," Santa said with a chuckle.
"This end·of-tbe-year deadline is nothing new for
my elves," he said. "They've got the just·in-time production schedUle down pat."
Santa said the big toys this year are all electronic.
"Video games are big, not hke years past when children accepted just about anything. Kids are getting
more modem all the time, but there are still kids out
there who want sleds."
He said he's been checking his list for the naughty
and nice children and he's a little concerned. "Kids
think they have to be good only between Thanksgiv·
ing and Christmas and not the rest of the year," he
said. "That's not the case. They need to be good all
year round if they don't want to find coal in their
stockings."
One of the reasons for that is the misconception,
Santa said, that be spends all his time at the North
Pole.

• Domestic
violence
unit makes
difference

.
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Since it was formed in May,
Floyd County's Domestic Violence Unit has greatly improved
the percentage of service on domestic violence orders issued.
.u\J(..al offi iais .u d service
providers decided to form the unit
after state statistics criticized the
percentage of service on emergency protective orders (EPOs)
statewide. Local and state law enforcement officials disputed the
statistics for Floyd County, which
listed a failure rate of service at
70-79 percent.
Floyd County Sheriff Paul Hunt
Thompson, District Judge James
Allen, Circuit Clerk Frank DeRossett Jr., and representatives from
the Department of Social Services,
Mountain Comprehensive Care
Center, and the Big Sandy Family
Abuse Center joined forces last
May to ensure the service of EPOs
issued by the court.
Helen Bowen, who heads the
domestic violence unit, said those
efforts have paid off.
''The officers have done an excellent job," Bowen said. "It's letting people know that there is help
out there for victims."
Floyd County has almost a 95
percent service average on EPOs
since May, Bowen said. Floyd
County has the only domestic violence unit in the state. Most orders
are served within 12 hours after
they arc issued, one of the original
goals officials set when the unit

A Fayette County woman
charged with forgery reportedly
confessed to her crime when she
was arrested.
Donna Asberry Harmon, 18, of
Lexington, was arrested last week
by Prestonsburg police and charged
with first degree forgery for allegedly passing forged checks at
local businesses.
In a preliminary hearing
Wednesday, Prestonsburg patrolman Charles Branham testified that
Harmon told him that she and another person had made a false identification card and obtained checks
in the name of Melanie Dean. Harmon presented the forged checks in
October at Food City, Martin's Department Store and Shoe Show,
Branham said.
Harmon's husband, Dwayne
Harmon, 27, of Elkhorn City, has
been charged with conspiracy in
connection with the case, but Branham did not name him during
Wednesday's hearing.
The officer also testified that
Harmon was identified through

New-look tax bills
to greet new year
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Despite his absence in the courtroom, Floyd County Commonwealth Attorney John Earl Hunt
was honored by his peers earlier
this month for his outstanding service and integrity as a prosecutor.
Hunt said Wednesday that his
role as commonwealth attorney has
been more behind the scenes.
"I can't be (in the courtroom) all
the time," Hunt said. "In the cases
that have required more than one
attorney, I've been there performing my prosecutorial role. Not as
lead prosecutor. I've been more in
the background. I see myself as
being the pillar rather than the
point guard."
Hunt acknowledges that he has
received criticism for his absence
in the courtroom and the commonwealth's poor conviction rate in
criminal cases.

tax bil1s are a product of the computer age.
Property owners will receive a
single tax btll packet, which will in*

an address correction form for the
county's E-911 mapping system.
In previous years, taXpayers receh·ed a single copy of the tax bill,
which was brought to the sheriff's

Just like other northerners, he
goes south for the winter and
spends a lot of time disguised so he
can keep an eye on all the boys and
girls.
His time away from his factories
also gives him a chance to see what
children want to find beneath the
tree come Christmas morning.
He said he also gets information
from his Santa's helpers, like Bob
Carpenter here in Prestonsburg.
Carpenter has been a Santa helper
for 16 years and makes a few early
runs through Prestonsburg to make
sure everyone gets what they want.
, "I've given up Christmas Eve at
our house for years," Carpenter
said. "I wouldn't miss it for the
world."
He said it is the look on the kids'
faces that make him continue his
employment with Santa Claus.
"It makes you feel great to see
the looks on the their faces," he
said. "Especially the ones who
think they don't believe anymore. I
look forward to it."
Santa said he's using his usual
reindeer crew this year - Dasher,
Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet,
Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. The
reindeer have been adding carbohydrates to their diet so they'll be sure
to make the round-the-world trip in
plenty of time to beat the early risers on Christmas morning.
The group will be led by
Rudolph because there's a chance
that snow will obscure his path,
especially in Eastern Kentucky.
Santa said not to worry though.
He's made the trip through some
most undesirable weather. "I would
never miss," he said. "We've been
out when it's almost zero outside."
He wouldn't elaborate on the
magic that allows his sleigh to fly,
for him to slide down chimneys or
deliver presents to homes that don't
have chimneys. He said children
should just trust him. "I'll be there."
Even for children who are away
from home, he said not to worry.
"Just make sure your parents let me
know," he said. "You'll still find a
present Christmas mornmg."
But don't forget to leave Santa a
present either. He said he still likes
to find milk and cookies when he
Difference was formed, Bowen said.
"Very, very few orders are not
served," she said. "We stress to the
victims not to tell the abuser that an
EPO has been obtained because the
ftrSt thing the abuser will do is run."
Statewide figures show that 21
percent of protective orders issued
in the state as a whole are not
served.
Bowen credits the success of the
unit to Sheriff Thompson and Judge
Allen.
'They both need to be commended for their efforts," Bowen
said. "If there is a problem with service of EPOs, the sheriff addresses
it and corrects it immediately. Judge
Allen listens to each case very carefully and makes the right decision.
Between Paul Hunt and Judge
Allen, they're quite a team."
It's common in district court to
hear Judge Allen tell the accused
and the victims, "we don't drop
domestic violence orders in this
court."
And it'c: not just women who
seek out the service., offered at the
unit.
"We have men who come in and
ask about our services," Bowen
said. "It's really pleasing to know
that men don't let their egos keep
them from getting the help they
need. It's two-sided now."
Word about the unit is filtering
out to other parts of the state,
Bowen said, and she and the sheriff's office have received calls
wanting to know more about it.
A community effort has
addressed domestic violence in
Aoyd County, Bowen said, and it

Area veterans might not be with-
out their benefit checks come
January l, despite a government
shutdown.
The House of Representatives
Thursday approved a special continuing resolution that will ensure
that veterans' benefits are issued on
time. A similar measure is being
considered by the Senate.
But, according to J. Denis West,
the veterans' affairs officer at the
VA office in Louisville, if a budget
or a continuing resolution was not

the checks would be delayed.

Timberlands
approved for
recertification
Mrs. Woodrow Burchett of
Prestonsburg, recently had her
~ timberlands approved for recertification in the American Tree
Farm System.
She has proved to be active in
forest management through the
proper use of modern timber management techniques and Best
Management Practices for water
quality.
Mrs. Burchett has received a
letter of recognition from the State
Tree Farm Chairman signifying
that her forest is being managed to
assure repeated production of timber crops and a host of related
benefits for the general pubtic.

She will also continue to
receive Tree Farm publications, as

released, unlike Social Security and
Medicare, whose benefits have
already been secured.
He said if money is approved
shortly after the deadline, the
checks would probably be delayed
for only a day or so.
The special continuing resolution, backed by Congressman Hal
Rogers, was approved after
Congress and the President could
not agree on how to balance the
budget. This is the second federal
government shutdown in less than
two months.
Rogers asked House Speaker
Newt Gingrich to back the resolution last week.
"Our veterans have already sacrificed for our country," Rogers
said. "I want to be sure our veterans
know they are going to receive their
benefits."
•
It is not right to ho1d our veterans' benefits hostage over a political fight." he added. "now is the
time to work together to make sure
our veterans receive the benefits
they have earned."

stores.
Harmon signed a written statement to police admittin~ her role in
the crimes, Branham srud.
Public defender Kristi Gray was
successful in getting four felony
charges of possession of a forged
instrument amended to misdemeanors because police did not
confiscate the false identification
used in the crimes.
Branham said that Harmon told
him that her husband and another
man burned the identification and
the remaining checks.
Harmon is facing four first
degree forgery charges and four
counts theft by deception.
Trial commissioner Jack Hyden
referred the case to a Floyd County
Grand Jury.
She is being held on a $38,000
partially secured bond. She is also
wanted in Fayette County on similar charges.

McDowell ARH home health
celebrates Home Health Week
The McDowell ARH Home
Health Agency, with branch offices
at Prestonsburg, Pikeville and
Elkhorn City, celebrated National
Home Health Week by providing
cards of appreciation and small
gifts to their patients in Floyd, Pike
and Knott counties.
The staff celebrated with "ARH
Caring For Our Community" tee
shirts and refreshments.
McDowell ARH has a long tradition of in-home care which
began in the early 1970s.
During the past two and a half
decades ARH professional and
support staff have maintained
thousands of Eastern Kentucky
residents in their homes during
periods of acute and chronic illnesses.
This has allowed these individuals to enjoy the comfort and security of knowing their needs would be
met in familiar surroundings while
keeping costs to a minimum.

Caudill issued 84 orders for Hunt to
appear on Saturday, January 20,
1996, to discuss pending cases.
Managing a pubhc office 1s similar to running a private oflice, Hunt
said Wednesday.
"It's back to a team management
philosophy," Hunt said. "I believe
in a team concept to prosecute
cases. With the cases we inherited,
plus the existing cases we acquire
each year, we have to be able to delegate before the team can be successful."
Hunt received the president's
award at the Commonwealth
Attorneys Association Conference
in Lexington, which was held
December 6-8. The recipient of the
award was determined by other
commonwealth attorneys in the
state, who voted on the issue:
Hunt said receiving the award
was an honor.
"When your peers honor you
with an award, it is a deeply humbling experience," Hunt said. "It
just reaffirms the commitments I
made when I started on the trail and
when I traveled on the path."
The commonwealth attorney
also praised h1s office staff for their
hard work and said as a whole, they
earned the award.

From us to you...
by Scott Perry
Christmas, Christmas time is
here,
time for joy and time for
cheer...
Don't imagine Alvin the chipmunk would mind too much our
borrowing of a line or two from
his song without paying royalties.
Not at this time of the year,
anyway.
Christmas is, first and foremost, a birthday celebration. One
that we actually enjoy seeing
come around each year.
Can't say the same for our own
birthday, though we suppose its
annual arrival beats the alternative.
For us at the newspaper,
Christmas generally signals the
end of another long year.
This is our 102nd edition in
1995. Got two more to go.
For the most part, we're a big
family here at the Times.
We've got old folks and young
folks and a bunch of in-betweeners.
Like the txpical family, we
have our good times and our bad
times; we get on one another's
nerves and, sometimes, on one
another's backs.
Hey, when you've got nearly
thirty people working side-byside every day, somebody is
bound to get their toes stepped on.
That's the way the world turns.
There is one thing, though, that
we think separates us from the
rest.
We put out one of the best
darned newspapers in this state.
THE best, we think.
We do it because it's the thing
to do, because you deserve it.
And we do it because the folks
here are dedicated, sincere and the
best newspaper family a newspapennan could hope for.
We owe them much more, but
we'll send out a special Merry
Christmas to them all.
We send the same to you and
yours.

Santa without cable
says "Bah, Humbug!
Editor:
"Bah, Humbug!" says mother
of four after returning home only
six days before Christmas and
finding my TV cable is cut off.
Granted, I'm four days late, but
although I've been a delinquent
customer this year (and I've been
a customer for five), I always pay.
I appreciate your being patient
with me, but a week before
Christmas?
Come on, Scrooge. I had
money in pocket to pay had I been
home, but I couldn't even make an
appointment with a surgeon today,
I was so ill. I had just returned
from seeing a specialist in
Lexington.
Where did the spirit of
Christmas go? I come home to
find a cut- off notice of my electric, too! I don't guess it would
hurt as bad, but it was my brotherin-law that put it there!
In this case "I counted my
chickens before they hatched"
because I signed up on the heating
assistance program and assumed it
would take care of my bill this
month. I'm only four days lateagain, granted I've been late
before, but I didn't receive my
child support payment that I use
for that bill.
Well, even though I can't see
the spirit of Christmas in some
businesses, I saw it this weekend
when a friend of the family
brought my mom over for a visit
Friday night.
On Saturday morning this
friend, Buddy Baldridge, returned
with a 15-speed bicycle for my
nine-year-old son. His eyes lit up
with joy! Buddy said my son had
touched his heart when he told
him the night before that he wanted a ten-speed for Christmas, but
mom couldn't afford it this year.
Being a single mom on welfare
is hard. I try to teach the real
meaning of Christmas to my children-Christ's birth and the giving of yourself-your time-the
most precious thing.
So, "Bah. Humbug" cable
company, you finally cut me off
and if electricity wasn't such a
precious resource I'd say "Bah,
Humbug" RECC, too, but my
mother is helping me pay this
month.
Thank you,
Santa without cable.

Sixth-grader J. Bodine
better educated than
some elected officials
Editor's note: This letter was
sent to Congressman Hal Rogers
and is reprinted here by request.
Mr. Hal Rogers:
I wrote you approximately two
years ago and made a statement in
that letter which said: "Jethro
Bodine of the Beverly Hillbillies,
with his sixth grade education,
could cipher better than you educated lawyers, senators and congressman in Washington."
I never knew until now how
true that statement was.
You're trying to balance the
budget, yet give someone a $245
billion tax cut. Even a sixth grader would know that's not the way.
For the past two years you've
delayed the Veterans COLA for
three months, but not those who
are receiving Social Security. If
that's not discrimination, what is?
We veterans have survived the
three-month delay.
Why not forget about the tax
cut for now and stop COLA for
everyone for a year or even two?
I'm sure we could all survive the
measly $20 a month raise; and
that wouldn't be fair to everyone.
(No discrimination.)
But that's not the way you
dummies in Washington, D.C. do
things, is it?
I also said then that I'd never
vote for any incumbents. I did not.
If everyone in the United
States had voted as I d1d we
wouldn't be having the problems
we're having now (government
shutdown).
And you know that so-called
"Contract with America" hasn't
helped me in any way as far as I
can tell. Do you know of anyone

Fifty Yean Ago
(December 13, 1945)
Congressman A. J. May told The Times Tuesday night that the
board of anny engineers had given its approval of the proposed
canalization of the Big Sandy... With engineering work completed
on proposed electrification of territory in Floyd, Johnson and
Lawrence counties, the Big Sandy Rural Electric Co-Operative
it has helped?
I got your "newsletter for veterans" in which the headlines
said: Veterans-2.6% COLA
raise. Mr. Rogers, you forgot to
mention the three-month delay for
the past two years. I don't know
why. I think we all know it. You
haven't done anything for veterans that all the members of
Congress and Senate haven't done
also. Maybe less.
I got so upset while writing the
last letter that I had a seizure and
spent one night in the hospital. I
finished it when I got out.
And, Mr. Rogers, honest to
God, I didn't know at the time I
wrote the letter if you were a
Democrat or a Republican and it
wouldn't have mattered. What
I've said here includes all members of Congress.
Mr. Scott Perry of the Floyd
County Times was kind enough to
publish my last letter.
There was an election a couple
months later. You carried this
strong Democratic county by the
second largest landslide in history.
You stated in your newsletter
that each of your three offices
were ready to help veterans with
problems with thetr disability
payments, among other things.
I have a problem with mine.
The Air Force takes it all back out
of my retirement pay.
A veteran with one or two
years service with a service connected disability gets the full benefit of their VA disability checks.
Yet one with twenty or more years
gets nothing except they don't pay
taxes on it. Another case of clear
discrimination. Can you help me
with this?
I'm going to ask Mr. Perry to
publish this letter also. I would
appreciate it if you would address
your reply to him so he could publish it, also.
And Mr. Rogers, please don't
blame the things I have mentioned
on the bureaucrats as you did the
last time. Looking forward to
your reply. Still upset in Eastern.

��Prestonsburg loses fifth
straight game in overtime at Sheldon Clark
.
A Christmas
wish for all
This coming Monday, we will
celebrate Christmas, the best time
of the year. I want to wish all the
fans, players and coaches from all
the sports in Floyd County a very
Merry Christmas. I sincerely mean
it. The best of all Christmases.
Here is my Christmas list for
some of the folks around the coun• ty.
• Bonita Compton, Allen
Central
girls'
coach: The return
of Crystal Martin.
Also a workable
phone so she
could have called
me to tell me the
Millard game was Ed Taylor
canceled.
Sports Editor
• Bill Newsome, Betsy Layne
• girls' coach: Twin towers for the
middle. A soft chair for the bench.
He needs it, he never sits in the
one provided.
• Harold Tackett, Prestonsburg
girls' coach: A pair of hard gloves.
The soft-glove approach will not
work.
• Henry Webb, South Floyd
·girls' coach: A winning season. A
transfer that averages 30 points a
• game.
The boys' high school coaches
are searching desperately for a
winning combination. Here is my
wish for them.
• Johnny Martin, Allen Central:
Sunday's off. It just doesn't pay.
• Junior Newsome, Betsy
Layne: His Christmas dream of
Jonathan Newman growing another inch and becoming a dominating force underneath.
• .Jackie Pack, Prestonsburg:
• Three wins in Florida next week.
His own personal fax machine.
• Jim Rose, South Floyd: A successful basketball campaign with a
great bunch of kids.
I love the fans that I meet at the
games. Here are a few.
• Don "Duck" Shannon: A bag
of shelled peanuts. Salted. Plenty
of Pepsi.
• Mary Jenkins: A megaphone.
• Ted Thompson: Hats from
Allen Central, Prestonsburg and
South Floyd, Betsy Layne. He
supports them all.
• Gordon Parido: A very good
friend of mine. That his little
daughter will grow to be as her ·
father. Thanks coach for everything.
• Ben Hale Gudge-executive): A
budget for the ball parks in the
county. Merry Christmas, Judge.
• Mr. Coleman (band director at
Prestonsburg): A referee's shirt.
Call them like you see them, Mr.
Coleman.
To my media friends as well, a
very Merry Christmas.
• Rick Bentley (former NewsExpress sports editor): Sell a lot of
furniture. We miss you, good
buddy.
• Jason Blanton (former everything): Not to get burned in the
Florida sun. A job back home.
• Paul Adkins, Paintsville
Herald sports editor: To always
' keep smiling. It fits you.
• Ronnie Hickman, Mountain
Citizen sports editor: Time to
enjoy his kid. Sports editors don't
have too much such time.

editor: A helper to help your helper so
that your helper can help you.

Region team without a victory on
the basketball hardwood after
dropping an 85-78 decision to the
Sheldon Clark Cardinals last
Thesday night at Inez.
It was the fifth loss of the season for the Blackcats
It took overtime for the
Cardinals to snap a three-game
losing streak of their own when
they outscored Prestonsburg 12-5
in the extra period.
Scott Davis led the Cardinals
with 20 points. Eric Marcum
tossed in 19 and Rob Duncan
scored 18. Kevin Moore hit double figures with ten points.
Andy Jarvis topped the
Prestonsburg scoring with 19
points. Freshman John Ortega
added 18 and Bret James finished
with 11 points for the Blackcats.
Ortega practically brought the
Blackcats back into the game when
the Blackcats had fallen by 13
points, 52-39, in the third period.
Ortega hit a three-pointer with 2:39
to play. He buried his second trey at
the 1: 18 mark and grabbed a
rebound and stuck it back in with
14 seconds left in the third stanza to
bring the Blackcats to within seven
points, 54-47. Eric Marcum's
jumper gave the Cardinals a 56-47
lead after three quarters.
The freshman standout scored
the first basket of the fourth quarter on a short jumper to keep
Prestonsburg within strilcing distance. Marcum extended the lead
back to nine points with a layup
and he was fouled. However, he
missed the free throw and the
Cats went on a run.
A free throw by Jarvis and an
Ortega basket inside made it a 5852 game. After Scott Davis
drilled a three, J.P. Skeens completed an old-fashioned threepoint play, Jason Bevins banked
in a jumper at the 5:30 mark for a
61-57 game.
Sheldon Clark went cold from
the floor and Prestonsburg made a
7-0 run and took a 64-63 lead on
Bevins' 18-foot jumper from the
base line.
The lead exchanged hands three
times until Sheldon Clark built a
69-66 lead on a Duncan layup and
Davis' fall-away jumper.
Wes Samons, who was quiet in
the first, second and third quarters, completed a three-point play
to tie the game at 69-69 with I :40
left to play. Duncan pulled down
an offensive rebound and was
fouled as he went back up.
Duncan completed the two free
throws that gave Sheldon Clark a
71-69lead.
Bret James missed the back
end of a two-shot foul and the
Blackcats trailed by one, 71-70.
Sheldon Clark committed its 14th
turnover in the game when
Ortega stole the ball and was
fouled in the process. Ortega connected on one of two from the
charity stripe to tie the game at
71-71.
With 27 seconds left in regulation play, Duncan broke free
underneath for an easy layup and
the Cards led 73-71. But Ortega
was sent to the free throw line
with just 17 ticks left on the clock
and even a Sheldon Clark timeout
could not ice him as he buried
two free throws and tied the game
at 73-73. Sheldon Clark had the
last shot at the basket, but it failed
to go in as Evans missed a 15footer.
In overtime, it was all Sheldon
Clark as Evans opened the extra
period with a 15-footjumper. Eric
Marcum followed with a 16-footer and then hit two free throws to
give the Cardinals a 79-73 lead
with 1: 13 left in overtime.

basket to keep the Blackcats close
at 79-76. But the Cardinals connected on six consecutive free
throws to put the game in the win

peaceful, happy and "get all you want for Christmas" wish.
• "Ranger" Rick Caudill, WMDJ: A golden microphone
from boss Dale MciGnney. I appreciate you, Rick.
• P.D. Gearheart, WPRG sports: For daughter Crystal to
score 25 points in one game. Merry Christmas, P.D.
• Dr. Don Bevins, WPRG sports: A new video camera and
cordless mike. Have a good one, Doc.
• Chuck Scoville, WPRG sports: The government to quit
shutting down. Unemployment line forms to the right.
In this business we are all dependent on one another for
news in the world of sports. I feel honored to be able to associate so closely with the people in the sports scene. It is
something I do not take for granted, but hold very dear.
I can't help but feel for coaches who have to struggle with
a program year in and year out. I just wish there was a magical formula for a winning season. But the best is to teach
hard work and determination.
I have many, many friends who I hold in high esteem.
Those around the 15th Region as well as the state of
Kentucky. To them I wish nothing but the best for themselves and their families this Christmas season.
I want to take this space to wish someone who has been
an inspiration to me down through the years - Denzil
"Hoss" Halbert. Thanks coach. You're great!
As we celebrate the season, let us not lose sight of the real
meaning of it all.
Until Wednesday, Merry Christmas everyone. Good
sports and be good sports. Take the kids to Sunday School
and church Sunday.

Martin falls to
Hearld Whitaker
Martin Grade School Coach
Doug Derossett could not figure out
how his team could look so impressive against some top county
schools and then fall on their face
against Hearld Whitaker Middle
School out of Magoffin County.
The Hornets got 21 points from
Barrett Caudill and placed 11 other
players in the scoring column in
handing the Purple Flash a 69-38
setback in a game played at Martin.
Jeremy Sexton and Henry Napier
each tossed in 11 points to lead the
Purple Flash. Mullins had seven
points and all seven came from the
charity stripe. He did not have a
field goal in the game.
It was a drastic third quarter for
Martin when the team picked up a
lone field goal by Sexton and was
outscored 18-2 in the period, falling
behind 53-27 after three quarters.
The Purple Hash trailed by only
five, 19-14, after the first quarter.
Caudill scored nine points for
Hearld in the first and had 12 pointS
at the half. The Hornets held a 35-25
lead at the half.
Patrick Martin, who had only
three points in the game, got those
three in the first with a three-point
basket. Martin went scoreless over
the next three periods. Napier had
the other three-point basket for
Martin and that came in the fourth
quarter.
Caudill scored nine pointl> in the
third quarter for Hearld Whitaker in
the 18-2 ambush. Scottie McCarty
had nine points for Hearld Whitaker

Sentence upheld; pastor free on bond
by Jerry Pennington
The Big Sandy News
A judge upheld a 25-year prison
sentence recommendation
for
Lawrence County pastor Gallic
Isaac Sr., but allowed Isaac to
remain free on bond pending an
appeal.
Lawrence Circuit Judge Stephen
"Nick" Frazier sustained a motion
for Isaac to remain free on a
$75.000 cash/$150,000 property
bond with the conditions that he not
leave his farm unless it is for medical reasons or to visit family. Also,
no children are allowed on the Isaac
farm unless they are members of
Isaac's family. Any other movement
must be approved by the court.
"When I took this job, I
promised I would do it based upon
the law and the best of my ability,"
Frazier said in court Thursday. "It
would be easy to go ahead and not
grant an appeal bond, but I would
violate the precepts set out before
me in this job. I'm not going to take
the easy course, I am going to allow
the appeal bond."
Isaac's attorney, Eldred "Bud"
Adams Jr., is appealing on several
point<> in the cao;e, but the key point
is the way Fralier divided the
charges against Isaac into two trials.
The indictment against Isaac contained 29 counts of various sodomy
and sexual abuse charges. Frazier
divided the charges into two trials
by where the alleged acts occurred.
The first trial, in which Isaac was
cbnvicted on 13 counts, dealt with
offenses that had happened in his
home. The second trial, which has
yet to be held, will deal with
charges that supposedly occurred
elsewhere.
"When I divided the indictment,
I told the court that would be the
key point for an appeal,'' Frazier
said. "An appeal bond in Kentucky
is not unusual. I am not going to sit
here and defend myself because I
think I made the right decision."
Adams argued that Isaac was at
no risk to flee because of his age
and health conditions and that he
posed no substantial threat to the
community.
"This gentleman is 78 years old,
and I don't think even the
Commonwealth would say he is a
threat to the community, " Adams
said. "I think there is a good chance
that this case may be reversed on
appeal, and I think the appeals court
should have a chance to hear this
case before he goes to prison,
because once he goes it's going to
be a life sentence."
An appeal, Adams said, may
take as long as two years to be
reviewed by the Kentucky Supreme
Court.
Prosecutor Luke Morgan, an
assistant attorney general, argued
that Isaac does pose a threat to the
community.
"As he sits here before you he is
a convicted child molester,"
Morgan said. "He should not be
turned loose in the community. I
wouldn't want my children around
hi m."
During his statement to the
court, Morgan said an appeal bond
was an option only because Isaac
had the money for one.

New year brings Pike

of UDAG funds through the
City of Pikev11le The City of

MethodiSt Ho~pital receaved
nottfication of the application

'We are extremely excited
about the UDAG funds,"
Martha O'Regan Ch11l, bospl·
tal administrator, sa1d.
"The new facility will also
increase the number of jobs
~at will be available. It will
also make 't easier for patients
to go from one department to
another to obtain services
because the patient eare depart·
men! will be centralized." Chill
said.
The UDAG funds wdl be
used to help with the actual
construction costs of the new
building. It will be constructed
directly in front of the current
patient tower and will encompass the patient service departments.
"That puts him at a different
standard than someone who doesn't
have money and that's not fair,"
Morgan said.
Adams argued that an appeal
bond had nothing to do with money.
Members of Isaac's family posted a
$150,000 property bond shortly
after the hearing Thursday.
One of the victims in the trial
attended the hearing, and said he
could not believe Isaac was not
going to jail.
''I'm mad," the 24-year-old told
reporters outside the courthouse following the hearing. "I want to know
why a convicted child molester is
out on the street."

E-911 will be like "night and day."
Moffett said other counties have

for the areas because of the service.

Youth's essay draws Guv's attention
by Kim Stacy
The Appalachian News·Express
Nine-year-old Jordan McGee may
have just received one of the best history lessons a student could ever
get-and one he'll never forget.
McGee wrote an essay for his
class at Pikeville Elementary School
on the importance of voting and why
he felt Paul Patton would make a
great governor.
"Jordan's class was studying the
election process and the teacher
asked the class to write an essay,"
Carol McGee, Jordan's mother, said.
"The class also completed voter registration forms and cards and voted
on who they'd choose for governor.
"We mailed a copy of the essay to
Patton's home in Pikeville. I thought
he'd enjoy seeing what a child understands about the election."
Jordan's essay was divided into
two parts. In the first part, he
describes the assignment. The second
part, written after the election, talks
about Jordan's vote.
"I was right!!!! PAUL PATrON is
our new governor. Paul Patton is the
best," Jordan wrote in his essay. "I
think Paul Patton will be a good governor.
"I run glad that Paul Patton is our
new governor because he is from
Pikeville and he lives right next to my
grandmother and grandpa. I have
learned that if one person does not
vote, it will make a big difference."
Shortly after the McGces mailed
the essay, the frunily began receiving
phone calls from Frankfort. The family was invited to attend the inauguration and to receive "something" from
Governor Patton.
"It was really exciting," Carol
said. "We were invited to sit on the
platform while the governor was
sworn in, toured the state Capitol and
attended a reception.
"Governor Patton talked with
Jordan about the importance of education, the election process and how
glad he was Jordan voted for him."
Jordan, his mother, his father (Jay)
and brother (Jamie) also attended the
parade and were treated to a police
escort.
Patton's first official document as
governor was a lt>tter to Jordan.
"I have worked hard to prepare to
be governor of Kentucky and I will
do my best to do a good job for you
and every other Kentuckian," Patton
said. "Young people hke you repre·
sent the future of our state. I have a
vision for a better Kentucky and that
vision is centered around education.
"And when you grow up, I want
you to read this letter again, and judge
how good a job I have done. You are
our future and I want to be a governor
that builds a better Kentucky for you
and all the other children of our great
state."
In his letter, Patton also outlined
his vision of Kentucky as a place for
educational opportunities, a clean and
healthy environment, safe strecls, a
compassionate government, the role
of families and economic opportunities.
"It's something Jordan will always
remember," Carol srud. "He got a
chance to sec government in action
and the process of government."
A coal baron's dream house
will remain a pipe dream for the
city of Paintsville.
Mayor Robin Cooper has abandoned plans for the city to purchase Mayo Mansion, The dectsion comes after the city failed to
obtain federal funding to help
finance the project.
The city had applied for a nearly $1 million ISTEA grant to renovate and restore the 83-year-old
house to its original luster.
Although Cooper had said the city
could use its own money to buy
the building, he said the project
could not be accomplished without
additional funding such as the
grant.
"At this point, the Mayo
Mansion is on the back burner
until some other funding comes
through" Cooper said Monday.
Cooper said he was told last
week by a state official that only
three local projects were awarded
ISTEA grants, which are distributed by the U.S. Department of
Transportation, and that the Mayo
Mansion project was not one of
them. Federal budget cuts reduced
ISTEA appropriations from about
$75 million to a little more than
$1 million, he said.
A study by a Lexington architect said tt would cost the city
about $1.5 million to restore the
facility. The mayor had hoped the
city could receive a $950,000
grant for the project.
Under Cooper's plans, the mansion would serve as Paintsville
City Hall, an idea that met with
some opposition Clyde Blevins,
former executtve dtrector of the
Paintsville-Johnson
County
Chamber of Commerce, had said
using the house for mumcipal
offices would lessen its historic
value.
Blevins said the mansion
should be used strictly as a tourist
attraction.
The council of St. Michael's
Catholic Church, owners of the
mansion, ran a newspaper ad in
(See Mansion, page four)
The would-be robber used a pay
phone to call 911 about a bogus
crime on the other side of the county in hopes of luring police away
from his intended target. When the
dispatcher's computer showed the
man at a pay phone instead of the
alleged location, police were dispatched to the pay phone and the
man was apprehended.
Moffett said m another county,
the service literally saved the life of
an abuse victim.
"Someone called 911, but before
they could say anything, the phone
call was terminated," she said.
"When the dispatcher returned the
call, a man answered and said nothing was wrong and nobody there
had called 911."
Moffeu said a police unit was
dispatched to the location anyway,
and they radioed back that a man
was beating his wife on the front
lawn at the location. The man was
arrested.
The Kentucky State Police will
be taking over the dispatching
duties in Pike County when the
enhanced version is completed, and
as many as 15 dispatchers will man
the 911 computers.
Pike County 911 Coordinator
Doug Tackett said the radio control
room was already being expanded
to fit the Zetron Communications
Control System into place for the
state police dispatchers, and after
that, everything would be ready.
"Basically, the date when
Enhanced 911 starts in Pike County
depends on South Central Bell,"
Tackett said. South Central is currently connecting the communications links for the '911 system.
Moffett said one problem many
counties have when the new system
comes on-line is a certain curiosity
by local residents to see if the new
system does work.
"Someone will program their
phone for the 911 number and they
will check to see if it works, or an
elderly person will just want to
know how difficult it will be to get
through. so they will dial it up and
see," Moffett said. "Many of those
people hang up as soon as they are
connected .
"But what they don't realize is
once they press those three numbers, their home address and phone
number pop up on our screen."
Moffett said emergency crews
have to respond to a call even if the
caller hangs up. and she warned
anyone \\ ho wanted to check out
the nc\\ number to not hang up.
"If you just want to check out
the service, or you dialed by accident that's fine," she said. "Just tell
the dispatcher that."
Moffett said she likes to describe
Enhanced 911 to people with a personal anecdote.
"Wh•·n my father had a heart
attack, my mother, who is usually a
very calm and intelligent woman,
became totally hysterical and could
not communicate with the dispatcher," Moffett said.
"With the enhanced version of
911. they knew exactly where to go
and they dispatched nn ambulance
there," she said. "None of us know
how \\ e will react in an eme-rgency,
but it's good to know that help is
there -just three numbers away."

Pikeville physician recertified
by board in family practice
Pikeville physician Harvey
Page, M.D. has been recertified in
family practice by the American
Board of Family Practice.
All board-certified family practitioners must be tested every eight
years in order to maintain their
board-certified status. Dr. Page took
the test an July, but was notified
recently that he passed the test and
has been recertified. Dr. Page
ranked in the 12th percentile
nationally.
Dr. Page has been practicing
medicine in Pikeville since 1964,
but practiced medicine in Durham,
North Carolina for five years before
he moved to Pikevtlle. He is a graduate of the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also
graduated from the University of
North Carolina's medtcal school
where he received the McNider
Award. He then completed his restdency program at Watts Hospital in
Durham, North Carolina.
He and his wife, Linda Lou,
have two children, Debbie Colvin
and John Page. They also have four
grandchildren.
Pastor------said he had tried for two years to
get help, but no one locally would
help him.
Family members of the victims
at the hearing were also outraged
by the judge's decision.
"(One of the victims) calls from
school for me to come and pick him
up because he gets harassed on his
way home," a victim's family
member said.
One of the victim's mothers had
filed a complaint on November 21,
after Isaac's conviction, charging
that her son was harassed by Isaac's
daughter, Martha Smith, in a local
grocery store. The complaint,
which was introduced as evidence
in the hearing, said Smtth was
pointing at him and told him that be
"was going to get it."
Frazier also said if any of Isaac's
family members harass any of the
victims involved in the case, he
would revoke the bond.
"There may have been a failure
of the system in the past," Frazier
said. "I promise you the system in
Lawrence County will never fail
again, and I promise to use all the
power of this office to see that it
will not."
Frazier also made a reference

"The ultimate failure has to be

that children are a sacred trust. For
some of these boys, it's a shame
they had to learn this too late."

news about the city's plans were
hurtmg enrollment at Our Lady of

Cooper said the ad had nothing
to do with putting the Mayo
Mansion project on the back burner.
He said the city was ready to negotiate a purchase price with the
church if the grant came through.
In the meantime, Cooper said,
the city will look for another location for city hall.
"At this point, the city doesn't

restore it to its original condition,"
he said. "We don't want to do it

A 62-year-old woman pleaded guilty in Roanoke,
Va., in November to stealing about 500 pieces of mail
from her neighbors' mailboxes-her third such offense
in five years. She had been found sane and competent
for trial but nonetheless diagnosed as having an "irresistible impulse" to steal other people's mail. The
judge had kept her confined to her home since her
arrest, allowing her full freedom only on Sundays.
tl# when there is no mail delivery.
POLICE BLOTTER
- Police in New York City arrested Paul Keller, 30,
in October and accused him of being the Snacking
Bandit who had been breaking into homes in Queens,
stealing cash and valuables and inevitably raiding the
refrigerator before he left. Detecuves following the 11
Snacking Bandit cases bet\\een April and June note
that the Bandit had been described by a witness in
April as weighing 170 pounds: by a witness in May,
175 pounds; and by a witness in June, 180 pounds.
- In September, according to police in New
Canaan, Conn., someone removed the tires from a car
parked at a commuter train station, stole the brakes,
and put the tires back on. And in Mt. Juliet, Tenn., in
May, Shirley and Rick Wheeler reporte.d their driveway missing; thieves had removed all the gravel and
plowed the ground beneath it.
Police in Rutland, Vt., in October, and
Piscataway, N.J., in August, charged men with assault
in domestic fights, specifically, the act of head-butting
the women. The latter case involved the president of
the local school board, who police said got involved in
a fight over what kind of bread should be used in a
sandwich.
- John W. Tay was arrested for burglary in El
Cajon, Calif., in November and told police that he felt
so bad about having had to break the victims' window
that he had left the residents a $50 bill on the floor by
the window to pay for it. Police returned to the scene
and confirmed Tay's story.
- Houston police officer Santos Nari, 28, was
indicted in October for sexual assault. While on duty,
according to the indictment, he had encountered two
amorous couples in Mason Park and told them that he
would have to examine the females' sex organs to
determine for sure whether they had been having sex.
- Among recent crime targets: A small amount of
cash was taken during a June break-in at the local
Crime Stoppers civic group's office in St. John's,
Newfoundland. And in May, one of the accountants
employed by the Scotland Yard detecttve organization
in London was accused of embezzling about $8 million
over an eight-year period from an undercover opera-
tions fund.
FAMILY VALUES
-'The mother and stepfather of an I I -year-old girl
in Dallas were arrested in August and charged with
crimes against the girl. The man was charged with several counts of sexual assault, and the mother was
charged with failure to report child abuse. According to
police, the mother declined to confront her husband
over his three-year sexual relationship with the girl,
choosing instead to arrange for the girl to receive a
Norplant contraceptive implant so that at least she
would not get pregnant.
- In August, Joy Glassman, 60, was charged in
Mount Shasta, Calif., with arson in connection with
five fires dating back to June 1994. According to
police, Glassman set the fires to help the career of her
son, Jas~n Robertson, who was a Mount Shasta firefighter at the lime.
- A 28-year-old man in Renton, Wash., was
arraigned in September for unlawfully imprisoning his
two sons, ages 8 and 7, inside their expensively furnished, immaculate apartment while he was at work.
According to a witness, everything in the home was
meticulously kept up, "like a showroom"; nil cabinets
and the canisters mside them were labeled ao; to contents and the cabmets padlocked; and the kids were
subject to a beating if the father found anything amiss.

Poperri
by Scott Perry
The old clock on the wall suggests
we'll soon be on the uptick toward the
year 2000, as the second half of the 90s
gets underway.
There's something science fiction-like
about a change of a century, especially
this one since it relates to all those science fiction tales we relished as kids,
like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and
Mars Needs Women.
Uh, okay. That last one isn't so futuristic, as far as plots go, but it's an important piece of cinematic art, we'll tell you
that.
Way back in the Stoned Age ... the
1960s... when we were kids, the prospect
of seeing this century tum was anything
but a sure thing.
Most of us were convinced, in fact,
that we wouldn't make it to the 1970s
before the world was fried to a crackly
crunch by some nuclear nimrod.
Just have four years to go ... knock on
wood.
Anyway, the approach of the year
2000 is a particularly monumental occasion for us Baby Boomers, who have tietoed through much of the last half century, expecting the worst and usually getting it.
What generation but ours has had to
face the end of the world on a daily basis
for 50 years?
One of the few things we've had to be
thankful for is that Godzilla was a creature of habit, directing his wrath only
toward Tokyo.
·
Man, how many times has that town
taken a lickin' but kept on tickin'?
Are we lucky, or what?
You bet we are.
And, we ought to be able to do this last
four-year stretch standing on our heads.
Unless, of course, somebody like Pat
Robertson is elected president. Then
we'll have to spend the next four years
on our knees.
But, we're optimistic.
We managed to make it through a couple of big wars, past the assassination of
one president, the shooting of another,
and the murder of a Beatie.
The future, we imagine, holds nothing
but promise. If it doesn't, well, we'll be
too old to give a hoot, anyway.

Sleeping Simple
In A Double Bed
•
As you read this column, please try to forget that
medical science has always recommended adults get
eight hours of sleep nightly to function normally.
The "eight-hour'' theory always intrigued me
because I usually functioned on far less. Unfortunately, this sleep deprivation I've experienced over
the years has not gone unnoticed by higher life
forms, or by those that I refer to as people with normal intelligence. It was because of this fact that I
was elated when medical science solved my dilemma
by manufacturing a natural drug called Melatonin
that supposedly induces sleep and boosts intelligence
at the same time.
Drug companies are advertising Melatonin saying
that it works by helping our brain manufacture the
same chemical it produced when we were children.
This childlike sleeping pattern allows adults to enjoy
eight hours of uninterrupted sleep and wake up feeling refreshed. Along with these wonderful benefits, it
has been noted that some individuals have experienced a marked increase in their mental capacity.
The latter of which was the major selling point for
me.
The mom·
ing after my
first Melatonin
tablet I woke
up feeling
refreshed just
like the advertisement said I
.._______s_a_r_a_H_o_p_s_o_n...,. would.
"Honey, that
Melatonin is wonderful. I feel great," I said to my
husband.
"Slept good. huh?"
"Good's not the word. I feel like I've finally
caught up on my sleep."
"I'm not surprised,'' my husband replied. "It's
noon."
"It's what time?" I asked.
''Lunch, midday, high noon, Rip Van Winkle."
"You've got to be kidding!" I exclaimed. "I

haven't slept until noon since I was a baby."
"Need I say more. The pill said you'd experience
childlike sleep, didn't it?" he asked. "Don't quote
me, but I think there are sleeping pills on the market
that produce nearly the same effect."
"Yeah, but they don't make you smarter.''
"And you think these pills make you smarter?"
"I can't say for sure, but I think I'm smarter," I
answered. "At least I think I am."
"Then that's all that matters," he laughed. "Maybe
the pills don't actually make you smarter, they just
make you think you are. Melatonin must work the
same way those pills that make you think you're losing weight do. You don't actually lose the weight,
you just think you're losing it.''
"I hate the way you make fun of everything I do."
"I'm not making fun of what you do, I'm making
fun of what you think you're doing. Ponce, there is
no Fountain of Youth. You can't take a pill to make
you think you've had enough sleep if you haven't.
And you certainly won't be any smarter on Jess
sleep. It just doesn't work that way."
I'm waiting for a pill that allows my husband to
believe I'm smarter than he is.

CARRINGTON
The Roaring '20s was a ground-breaking decade
for the 20th century. It was a fascinating time. Fresh
from World War I, people were breaking free of
Victorian restraints and seeing their lives in a new
light. Prosperity abounded. Hemlines came up and
dancing changed from stately to wild and enthusiastic,
as evidenced by the Charleston. Women, especially,
enjoyed a new freedom. In this country, they finally
got the vote. No longer content to wear their hair up in
proper upsweeps, they cut it and short hair was "in"
for women from then on in. In Europe, an intellectual
Renaissance of sorts took place.
This film deals with the romance of two historic
figures from the 1920s, Dora Carrington (Emma
Thompson) and Lytton Strachey (Jonathan Pryce).
Dora was a painter and Lytton was a writer. When first
they meet, the year is 1915 and they are instantly
attracted to each other. Dora is clad in pants and her
hair has been cropped. Lytton finds this utterly fascinating. Soon, they are engaged in a witty duel of
words. It is obvious both are highly intelligent and
energetic.
The two can't help but fall in love. Yet, there is the
proverbial fly in the ointment. While Dora is every
inch a heterosexual, Lytton is homosexual. In fact,
when he first saw her from afar with her men's clothes
and short hair, he mistook her for a male.
Despite this, the two engage in a passionate affair
which lasted for years. Their attempts to carry this
"marriage" beyond their minds and extend it to the
physical realm fail miserably. Thus, both seek their
sexual satisfaction from others, always to return to
their "soul-mate."
!hls is a unique love story, made all the more captivatmg by the two excellent actors in the lead roles.
~ey bring a refreshing intelligence to the very crisp
dtal.o~ue and a tenderness that is breath-taking. Both
postttvely seem to embody the spirits of those two
sensitive souls of long ago. I give this four stars and
fully anticipate Oscar nominations for both Thompson
and Pryce. They arc well-deserved.

work in extra bits of housework. It
will always make me late. Sarah J.,

GREAT BRANDS. GREAT PRICES.
SHOWER-CURTAIN
REUSE-Here is a tip for recycling
old shower curtains. If you live in
an area that gets frost early in the
fall but your flowers or gardens are
still producing, shower curtains
make good covers to keep the frost
off you plants.
Also, since they can fold up to
be very compact, it is good to keep
one in the trunk of your car. If you
have a flat tire or car problems, you
can spread it on the ground to keep
• your clothes clean in case you have
to kneel on the ground or crawl
under your car. Edith F., Rochester,
Minn.
POWDER TRICK-If you've
purchased face powder that's a bit
too dark, mix it with a lighter powder in a translucent shade. I have
mixed powder for years, as I can't
find one to match. Best of all, this
gives you twice as much powder.
Betty V., Warren, Ohio
J
,
VEGETABLE TRICK-My
husband and kids hate broccoli. In
order to sneak some into their diet,
I peel the big stalks (the tops are
hard to disguise) and grate them. I
add this to slaw, green salad, soups,
stews and even meat loaf.
They eat their broccoli with
gusto and never know it! Roseanne
C., Unionville, Mo.

SOAP·
SCRAPS
by Sally Stone
The FOX Network announced
plans to air a nightly soap opera that
will air from Monday through
Friday at 11 p.m. on the East and
• ~ West coasts and at 10 p.m. in the
Central and Mountain time zones.
The soap, which is untitled at
present, is expected to debut early
in January of 1997. Linda Gottlieb,
who was Executive Director for
"One Life to Live," will be the
Executive Director for this new serial, which was created by "OLTL"
veteran staffers Michael Malone
and Josh Griffith.
Meanwhile, Tori Spelling, who
I stars as Donna on FOX's popular
llj
weekly primetime soap, "Beverly
Hills, 90210," can be seen in NBC's
• thriller, "Deadly Pursuits," airing
January 8. Her co-stars include
Richard Belzer ("Homicide: Life on
the Streets"), Reginald VelJohnson
(''Family Matters") and "Melrose
Place" star, Patrick Muldoon (ex
Austin, "Days of Our Lives").
Also coming to your primetime
movie screen are Michael Damian
(Danny, "The Young and the
Restless") and one-time soap stars,
Kate Jackson ("Dark Shadows")
and Corbin Bernsen ("Ryan's
Hope"). All three star in "Survival
in the Snow," airing on CBS on
January 9. Damian fans will get a
real treat out of seeing Michael
-, playing his first really dark character in years (or ever!).
Bobby Warner left "All My
Children" as a tot and returned as a
hormone-raging teenager played by
Brian Gaskill.
Now, "One Life to Live" is set to
reintroduce Drew Buchanan, a
character whom we last saw as a
toddler and, come early 1996, we'll
see as a young charmer destined to
cut a wide swath in Llanview, as
befits a male of the hormonallycharged Buchanan clan.
Victor Browne makes his daytime debut as Drew, son of Bo
Buchanan (Robert S. Woods) and
f Bo's former wife, Becky Lee
Abbott (played by Mary Gordon
Murray) who had also once been
married to Bo's daddy and Drew's
grandpa, Asa (Phil Carey).
Anyone who dotes on Vogue
(the magazine, not the dance) might
like to know that publisher, Ron
Gaiotti, will play the publisher of a
fictional fashion mag on "The City"
on January 8. Gaiotti's character
will be seen meeting with media
~ mogul Sydney Chase (Morgan
Fairchild).

Sandy Valley Water
District is a non-profit

of Kentucky. Customers of
all districts adJacent to
Sandy Valley have rates
higher
than

The cost of this loss is

request the metering of
usage from these hydrants
and some use is for fire

any use of water from

Vegetarian Diets
For Infants
(NAPS)-Q. I practice
a vegetarian type of diet
and would like to introduce this style to my six
month old daughter.
How do I do this?
A. Well-planned /acto
(milk, vegetables, fruits
and grains), Uu:to·ovo (milk,
egg, vegetables, fruits and
grains), and semi·vegetari·
an (milk, egg, vegetables,
fruits, grains, fish or fowl)
diets can meet all the
infant's nutrient needs for
growth and energy.
A<>. with any feeding pattern it is important that
nutrients come from a variety of foods. Milk, of course,
should continue to provide
the 1118jority of your baby's
calorie and protein needs.
Foods should be selected to
provide complete proteins,
adequate calories"and criti·
cal nutrients. Fats are
important in the diet because they provide calories
and help babies develop
properly. Foods should be
in a form suitable for the
infant's small stomach and
still developing digestive
system.
I ron-fortified infant
cereals are good sources of
iron, calcium and the Bvitamins needed for healthy growth. Fruits and
vegetables are also rich
sources of many vitamins
and minerals. The new line
of Gerber" Veggie Recipe~
Dinners provide vegetable
variety without meat.
Select foods of medium
to low fiber content. High
fiber foods may cause the
baby to feel full before calorie and nutrient needs are
met. When breast milk or
formula are no longer fed,
whole m1lk rather than
reduced fat milks, is rec·
ommended for children
under two years of age.
It IS Important to plan
your baby's meals to
include variety. With this
approach you can help
establish healthy eating
habits that can last a lifetime. Be sure to work with
your daughter's health
advisor to chart her growth
and development.

information on feeding, caring and clothing your baby,

Fed shutdown could stall

by Patti M. Clark
StaffWnter
Less th rl month ufter gover.
ment workers - including those
employed by the Social Security
AdmimstmtJon and Veterans Affairs - returned to work after a
government shutdown, some of
those employees are home again.
The shutdown comes as a result
of disagreements between Congress and President Clinton on how
to balance the budget.
While employees of the Social
Security Administration remain on
the JOb during this shutdown, the
Veterans Affairs office is closed,
bu. the re 1 I 'SCTS, however. could
b« recipients of veterans checks.
According to J. Denis West, if
the shutdown contmucs through
Thursday, January 1 checks won't
go out on time.
"If funding is not in place by 8
a.m. December 21, it appears as if
the January 1 checks will be delayed," West. the veterans affairs
offices at the VA office in
Louisville, said Tuesday afternoon.
Husband is cha~ged as second
suspect in check-forging scheme
ncsses. Donna Harmon was back in
court Monday on additional
charges of first degree forgery,
theft by deception and criminal
possession of a forged instrument.
She is accused of signing the name
Melanie M. Dean to checks presented to Martin's Department
Store, Food City, C & H Rauch and
The Shoe Show.
Donna Harmon is also wanted
on forgery charges in Fayette
'
County.
Dwayne Harmon is charged
with three counts of conspiracy to
commit first degree forgery; three
counts of conspiracy to commit
theft by deception; and three
counts of conspiracy to criminal
possession of forged instruments.
According to court records,
Dwayne Harmon used the aliases
of David Hampton and Michael
Asberry.
Branham's citation noted that
Dwayne Harmon was charged "re·
lated to an investigation of a check
forging scheme involving his wife,
Donna Harmon."
District Judge James Allen
placed Dwayne Harmon under a
$50,000 cash bond and placed a
hold on him until it is detcnnincd if
other police agencies outside Floyd
County are seeking charges against
him.
An extra $30,000 was added to
Donna Harmon's bond, too.
"We need to have those appropriations in place for these checks
to be released," he added.

long after a budget 1s approved before the checks would be mailed,
but he did say it would not be an
entire month.
"There are several cycles during
the month here when checks arc
printed," he said. "The ones that are
delayed would be printed in the
next cycle."
All veterans receive their benefit checks on the same day.
The regional offices of the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs
have closed and will remain closed
until a budget is approved or Congress approves a continuing resolution that will allow the government
to operate until a budget is approved.
"The difference between this
furlough and the last is that we will
have the staff available to answer
vetemns' inquiries and questions on
the phone, conduct walk-in interviews, and issue Loan Guaranty
Certificates of Ehgibility," Henry
W. Gresham, director of Veterans
Affairs, said.
"We will accept mail and control it properly so it can be
processed as soon a<; the rest of our
employees return to work."
He apologized for the possible
delay.
"We are sorry for any inconvenience this partial closure will
cause and look forward to the resumption of all our services."
Friday's Floyd County Fiscal
Court meeting didn't go as smoothly for Judge-Executive Ben Hale as
his first, but Hale continued to fend
off some apparent opposition from
magistrates.
During a discussion related to
holding a fiscal court meeting out
in the county once every quarter,
Judge-Executive Hale jumped to
his feet and demanded fhat court
members settle down.
"I want order," Hale told the
court.
The debate began when Hale
proposed holding a meeting out in
the county quarterly in an effort to
make good on a campaign promise.
Hale proposed holding the January
meeting at the Betsy Layne Senior
Citizens Center.
Magistrate Elmer Ray Johnson
added that he wanted the court's
agenda published in the newspaper
prior to the meeting date.
County Attorney Jim Hammond
told Hale that the court had previously pnso:ed a resolution wrich •
dictated that the court's agenda be
ready by the Wednesday prior to
the meeting and that issues not on
the agenda could not be brought
up. Hammond suggested that the
court amend that resolution before
taking meetings into various parts
of the county.
Magistrate
Jackie Edford
Owens said he didn't recall the resolution having language prohibiting the discussion of additional issues not on the court's agenda.
"Don't gag us in here," Owens
said referring to the regular monthly meeting. Owens also objected to
moving the meetings.
"I can't see going out to senior
citizens' centers," Owens said. "It's
been 10 years since we established
the time frame and it's pretty convenient to everybody."
"It's convenient to certain areas
of the county," Hale told Owens. "I
want to take government out to the
people."
Hammond also said the legality
of the change could be questioned.
'There could be a legal problem,"
Hammond said. "I'm for taking
government to the front porch in
the county."
Hale said that a representative
with the state's Department of
Local Government informed him
that the court could move its meet(Sec Court, page two)

He said a portable computer will

"If they sull want to come here,
they can," Kelly said. "But, we'll be

All means everything from filing an address change to filing a
claim.
"The clinic is a focal poi:nt for
that area," he said. "And a lot of
people there need service. We just
felt we needed to do this."
Kelly has 33 people on staff
with 21 working in the Prestons·

beneficiaries in this division," he
said. "But there are more people to

Floyd County's solid waste
commission wants the county to
pick up some of the costs associated with disposal of litter bagged by
inmates at the Otter Creek Correctional Facility.
At Monday's solid waste commission meeting, commissioner
Lowell Sammons was adamant
about the fiscal court contributing
to the program.
''I'll not vote for us to pay it
when the fiscal court rides around
in $30,000 vehicles and have their
wives on the payroll," Sammons
said. "I've been a magistrate and
that's not the way I did."
Sammons comments came during a report by ecology officer Lonnie May on the problems associated
with the litter control program.

Hammond commented that that
branch of government didn't
employ any legal counsel.
Hale directed Hammond to have
a legal opinion on the issue prior to
the January meeting.
Also Friday, it was somewhat of
a hard sell to magistrates for E-911
equtpment when the talks became
muddled with the hiring of dtspatchers for the emergency service
system.
Former judge-executive Bob
Meyer, who has been deeply
involved in implementing the service, gave magistrates the E-911
board's recommendation to purchase the Public Service Answering
Point (PSAP) equipment.
Meyer explained that the lowest
and best bid had been made by 911
Inc., of Colorado, for $58.043.
Magistrate Johnson asked why
the five bids received ranged in
price from $58,000 up to $225,000.
Meyer explained that the E-911
board had the same questions, but
that 911 Inc.'s record was very
good.
Hale told Johnson that he felt
that some of the bids were inflated
and that the other four bids should
have been in line with 911 Inc.'s
Magistrate
Ermal
Tackett
brought up the issue of employing
dispatchers saying that it appeared
an the dispatchers were from the
Prestonsburg area.
Meyer explained that the dispatchers working for the City of
Prestonsburg and the shenff's
department were to be transferred
as E-911 dispatchers and that some
additional workers would be hired.
Judge Hale commented that the
six dispatchers employed by the
ctty and the sheriff's department
were from all areas of the county.
He told the court that the city and
the sheriff were paying a large portion of those employee's salaries,
which would help offset the cost to
911.
Owens said he remained in favor
of allowmg the Kentucky State
Police to oversee the emergency
service operation and admitted the
real issue was jobs.
"I knew it would be a hard fight
because of jobs," Owens satd "The
magistrates thought the JObs would
be divided out in their districts. It's
not too late to go with the state
police."
The issue of hourly pay for dispatchers was ratsed by Hammond,
who disagreed with the E-911
board's discussion that pay rates
start at $6.50 per hour.
Hammond said that rate would
not be enough for the position to be
considered as a primary income
job.
Meyer said that the salary discussed by the board was in line with
other parts of the state and that the
court had to "be realistic." Meyer
added that the board did not know
at this point what the annual cost of
service would be, but that it
appeared the cost would be affordable.
"If we don't watch ourself, we'll
have another Floyd County Solid
Waste on our hands," Hammond
said in reference to Meyer's statement that no set cost had been projected for operating the E-911 system.
Program------------beside the roadway. May said there
are no guidelines for having the
trash bags collected and sometimes
the garbage stays beside the road
for weeks.
Commissioner Barney Walker
asked Rumpke representative
David Cooley if the county's trash
collection provider would collect
the trash bags for free during normal garbage pick up.
Cooley told Walker that Rumpke
would charge a fee to collect the
roadway trash.
Walker commented that he didn't "see why the magistrates" could
not pick up the bagged garbage.
Commissioners agreed to ask the
fiscal court to pay for the cost of
collection and disposal of the litter
picked up by the inmates.
The fiscal court pays for half the
salary of a guard to oversee the
inmate program.
In other business Monday, Mike
Vance, executive director of the
solid waste commission, reported
that collections to Rumpke are up
due to the collection efforts through
the courts. Vance said of the 24
criminal summons's issued earlier
[;;!::V]

this year, all but three of those
charged have made some type of
restitution for garbage collection.
In January, collection efforts for
commercial garbage customers
who are not paymg their bills wtll
be stepped up by Rumpke, Vance
said.
Cooley said the delinquency rate
amonJ! commercial customers is
"mind boggling."
Also Monday:
• Commissioners authorized
May to seek quotes for a four-wheel
drive truck, provided the quotes did
not exceed $10,000.
• Vance reported that the state
auditor's office agreed to an exit
conference concerning a special
audit of the solid waste commission
last year. Commissioners agreed to
make a partial payment on that
audit and directed Vance to inquire
if the auditor's office could do a
complete audit for 1993-94. The
special audit spanned a sevenmonth period.
• Cooley announced that
garbage collections for Christmas
and New Year's Day would be
made on the Saturday following

to get an attorney and "sue the fire
out of us." Hale said that there will
be many changes coming to county
government.
• Owens questioned Sheriff Paul
Hunt Thompson's 1996 budget,
saying it was $200,000 less than
last year's. Thompson explained
that the county's contribution to his
office would be less and that the
county wru; to provide the cost for
employee health insurance.
• After some debate, the court
agreed
to
accept
Sheriff
Thompson's 1995 audit.
• The court approved a request
from Hale to form a committee conststing of the road foreman, deputy
judge Chris Waugh and a magistrate
to inspect roadways that were to be
either accepted or eliminated from
the county road system. Hale
explained that the road should be
mspected prior to any action taken
by the court.

Labor pains
by Scott Perry
•
Organized labor, including the
UMWA, has jumped headfirst
into the great "Medicare Scare"
without first checking the depth
of the waters.
The labor unions have been
airing a series of television com' ,- mercials recently, comparing the
1
GOP-sponsored reforms in Medicare to the theft of benefits from
retirees and dependents.
An analysis of the Medicare
proposals 1offered by both
Congress ahd President Clinton
by
the
Washington-based
Healthcare Leadership Council,
suggest that the ad campaign
sponsored by organized labor
aren't just overly dramatic,
they're inaccurate.
For instance, the council contends that the most significant
difference
between
the
Congressional plan and Clinton's
is $7 per month.
That's how much Medicare
beneficiaries would have to pay
in additional premiums under the

GOP plan.
Without that assessment, the
council contends that the current
payroll tax which supports the
Medicare program would have to
double, costing the average
worker over $200,000 more in
taxes over the course of his or her
working life.
If the council's figures are correct, the real question here is
quite simple.
Would retirees be willing to
pay an extra $7 per month to
save
their
grandchildren
$200,000 in added taxes?
We imagine most are too
frightened by those scary commercials to respond.
While we commend organized
labor for its devotion to its
retirees, we would also remind
the unions that working
Americans are still what make
them tick.
If payroll taxes are increased,
those workers will be the ones
who suffer.
So, we suspect, will the
unions' credibility.
Sacrificing for family:
an indication of love
Editor:
All through the year we hear of
so much devastation and negative
news that our hearts are saddened
that we cannot make a d1f(t<tence in
a lot of situations. J truly believe
that these changes can be started in
the home by doing what Christ has
commanded - to love and care for
one another. This time of year we
think of love, caring, concern, and
sacrifice - this bemg related to the
birth of our Lord Jesus Christ who
was given to us as a selfless gift
from God. We must not minimize
this fact.
We need to also think of the individuals out there who arc giving of
themselves to care for an ailing
loved one, sacrificing their time and
love selfishly all year 'round. One
such person is my brother, Buck
Patton. He has spent all but three
years of his life with our family and
cared for our Dad until he passed
away in 1974. He is now faithfully
caring for our mother and has been
for several years now. Mom is on a
special diet, has a kidney tube due
to kidney failure, walks just a few
steps, and is very susceptible to
lung infections. Despite all of these
difficulties Mom is being taken
very good care of at home. My
brother has learned about her care
from nurses and doctors. This guy
is the most humble, courteous, and
kind person that I know of. This is
the real meaning of Christmas giving of one's self to make someone's life bearable with no strings
attached.
You are my hero, Buck, and I
lov~ you very much. Thanks a mil-
lion.

encouragement. Their address is

What is it we wonder, a bike, a TV?

There are all sorts of laws awaiting

The Floyd County Times
Austin has experience in Balentine thinks his areas
of expertise will "fit"
turning deficits around
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Jerry Austin is hoping two is his
lucky number.
This is the second time he has
been a finalist in the search for a
Floyd school system leader. Austin
was one of five superintendent candidates interviewed by the board of
education last week for the position
that begins after the first of the
year.
The Harlan City Schools superintendent was considered one of the
top contenders during the search in
1992.
Austin said he can bring many
areas of experience and expertise to
the Floyd County school system.
One of those is in the area of finance, experience the school system desperately needs in light of
the nearly $1 million deficit it is
facing.
"When I took my position (in
Harlan), I found out we had
$12,000 in the bank and then
learned the former superintendent
had committed the system to a
paint job that cost $20,000," he
said. "So we were actually $8,000
in the hole."
He said he thinks he can make
an impact on the deficit almost immediately. "With my track record
pf dealing with finance, I think we
can tum it around almost immediately," he said.
Austin said he would tum the
system around by first looking at
the expenditures and revenues.
"I would look at the situation
and set priorities," he said. "But the:'key is I haven't prejudged the sys- ·
tern. A superintendent can't come
with a preconceived notion of what
the system is about."
He said he didn't expect to begin
cutting the "frills."
"The temptation is to look at the
frills - art, music, and physical
education," he srud. "But I'm a
strong believer in those programs. I
think there's a strong correlation
between them and reading and
writing."
Making cuts, he said, would
come only after he's listened to
those involved. "I listen well,'' he
said. "And if I'm chosen, I'll make a
commitment to talk to anyone.
They'll get a minimum of 15 minutes of my undivided attention."
Jerry Austin
He said he would be an open
door superintendent. "I think, in my
years as superintendent, I've closed
my door only twice."
Austin, who also has a law degree, was superintendent of the
Mecklenburg County, Virginia
school system from 1976 to 1991.
He has been superintendent in
Harlan Independent Schools since
1992. He has been on the faculty of
Southeast Community College
since 1993 and on the faculty of
&stem Kentucky University since
1994.
Over the years, he has served as
a consultant at various colleges and
school systems, including Nottoway County, Virginia where he
prepared a plan for merit pay
through personnel evaluation,
grievance procedures, and through
new evaluation forms.
He was named the Virginia State
Superintendent of the Year in 1989.
Austin said he plans to spend his
days out of the office and do paperwork after hours, one of the strategies he said made him a noted superintendent in Virginia.
While out of the office, Austin
said he will meet with all the principals to "tell me about their
school." He said he would also like
to start a parent/teacher/student advisory committee, with representatives from each school, to tell him
where the changes need to be made.
"I'll also talk to Ed (Allen, interim superintendent) and Dr. Towler.
He's a good finance man, respected
around the state, and I want to
know what happened," he said.
But he said he wouldn't make
changes unless they are good for
students. "The changes will be
made based on what's best for the
kids," he said. "If you lose sight of
the kids, it's time to get out. I'm in
education because I want to be."
When it comes to the Kentucky
Education Reform Act Austin said
he thinks the act and its requirements are generally good, but he
said he has "a problem with ttie
way we're doing things in Kentucky. They've taken away the majority of lay control of the schools."
He said site-based councils,
however, need some work. "We
need to clarify the role expectations
of the councils," he said. "But I
have not had a problem with them."
Assessment is also an area
Austin said needs to be looked at
and he said the negative outlook toward schools in crisis is detrimental
to those systems.
"I have a problem with the reward and punishment approach toward education," he·said. "It's not
best for the schools."
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Dr. John L. Balentine said he
thinks his areas of expertise will be
a plus for Floyd County.
Balentine was one of five superintendent candidates interviewed
by the board of education last
week.
"I learned about the position in
Floyd County through a friend," he
said. "The more I learned, the more
I realized your problem areas and
my areas of expertise fit. Now, I'm
even more convinced that we fit
than when I carne."
Balentine was superintendent of
The Clarke County (Georgia)
School District from January 1992
to August 1995. He has been a superintendent in different systems
for 14 112 years.
He said he aspired to be a school
administrator a long time ago. "I
knew I didn't want to pick cotton
for a living and my only way out
was education," he said. "And this
is a chance to make things better
for the children.
When he arrived at Clarke
County, he said the district had a
$4.5 million deficit.
"We turned that around in a year
and a half," he said. "At the end of
that year and a half, we had a $7
million surplus."
He said he thinks he can help
take care of the $1 million deficit
the district is facing. "But I don't
come with all the answers," he said.
"I think my administrative style is
helpful to bring the county together
and get it out of the crunch."
How would Balentine take care
of the deficit? "Easy," he said. "We
have to stop spending more money
than we have."
And by stop, he said he meant
cutting expenditures across the
board. "I know that is a very simple
answer for a very complex ques-
tion," he said. "But if you spend
more than you bring in, sooner or
later you get in trouble."
He said he would look at the
system's budget before making cuts
and would start with non-personnel
fixed expenditures like utilities.
"Cutting people would be the
last thing I would do," he said. "But
if that had to happen, I would try to
make it as painless as possible."
He said an ideal financial situation would be to have an amount
,,
Dr. John L Balentine
equal to one month's payroll in the
bank for contingencies, but he said
if he is chosen superintendent, he
will ask the employees of the
school system and the public where
the cuts should come from.
"The people in Floyd County
know best," he said. "And with the
right leadership, they will follow."
And by providing good leadership, Balentine said be thought he
could get the system out from
under the state's thumb soort.
"My goal is to get out as quickly
as possible," he said. "But we must
demonstrate we are capable of taking care of our own affairs and that
we do in fact care about what happens in the classroom."
He said he will bring a level of
professionalism to the county that
will bolster confidence in the system from both the state and public's
point of view.
"People will be able to depend
on me to do what's right and what's
honest," he said. "If we've got a
problem, I deal with it whether it's
good, bad or ugly. Then we move
forward."
But he said perfection is not the
answer.
"I want to ask the community to
shift to neutral until they earn my
trust," Balentine said. "I want to be
out among the people and then they
can see I'm telling the truth."
He said the people of a community send their two most prized possessions to the school system their children and their money.
"When they see I'm most interested in their children and am a
good steward of their money,
they'll begin to trust me," he said.
"But that can't happen ifl sit in my
office. I plan to be out in the community as much as possible. I want
them to see that I'm an ordinary guy
just like everybody else. I just happen to be superintendent."
And regardless of financial
problems, he said the children
should come fust. "You have to do
what's best for the child," he said.
"The children are fust."
First even before the politics.
Balentine said he knows politics
play a big part in school districts,
especially the one in Floyd County
and that he can play with other
school administrators, but that "political issues are not my concern.
My concern is getting the best people to serve the children," he said.
When it ·comes to the Kentucky
Education Reform Act, Balentine
sung the act's praises and pointed
out its problem areas.
"From the outside, it was a giant
leap forward for a state school system that had fallen behind," he said.
He said improvements are needed
but that we shouldn't "throw out the
baby with the bath water."
"I support the efforts the state
bas made," he said. "Whatever
needs to be fixed should be fixed
and the rest should be left."
Just as he's seen the good and
thrown out the bad during his years
as superintendent, he said he's
"come to realize that we don't have
all the answers," he said. "We can
be negative or positive, but I
choose to be positive."
He said being positive means involving parents and teachers in the
classroom.
"I've moved far forward in my
thinking on that since I started in
education more than 30 years ago,
and here in Kentucky, by law, the
parents are involved," he said.
He said he is impressed with
Floyd County.
"I've been here a day and a
night and I'm impressed with the
people here," he said. "These are
the type of folks I like to work with.
It would be like going back home
forme."

Interviews with the four finalists for the job of superintendent for the
Floyd County School System.
Potential outweighs
pro_blems, Cobb says
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Despite the school district's financial problems, it's the potential
that drew the principal of South
Laurel Middle School to seek the
job of superintendent of the Floyd
County School System.
Ora Cobb Jr., one of four finalists selected by the district's superintendent screening committee,
was interviewed by the school
board last week. On his resume,
Cobb lists more than 20 years of
management and teaching experience at the elementary, middle and
secondary school level.
Cobb said Friday that his experience has prepared him to become
superintendent of the Floyd County
system.
"I'm at that point in my career
with the experience, education and
knowledge, I'm ready to assume
the superintendency in a district
where there's a lot of potential,"
Cobb said. "I'm looking for an innovative school district where they
want to improve their facilities and
continue an already good quality
instructional program for the children of the county. And, I think
Floyd County certainly fits that criteria. I think they've got an excellent school system here and I think
the potential is tremendous."
South Laurel Middle School
was selected as one of Kentucky's
Blue Ribbon Schools in 1995 under
Cobb's leadership and he feels he
can bring the educational qualities
which earned his school that distinction to the Floyd County systern.
"It's important to continue to
focus on quality instruction and lucrative curriculum at all levels to
meet the needs of a diverse group
of learners," Cobb said. "And, to
continue to focus on technology; to
focus on professional development
and leadership qualities. It's important to give an opportunity to provide teamwork among all respective members of the school system."
As for addressing the district's
deficit, Cobb said he feels that the
system's projected $1 million
shortfall is not a problem and that
the debt could be erased by the end
Ora Cobb Jr.
of the school year.
"I really don't think it's that big
of a problem," Cobb explained.
"You've got in excess of a $41 million budget in this school district.
You're talking about really a small
amount. That's a management, organizational-type problem that can
be changed about in less than a
year."
Cobb said it would be important
to continue educational programs
in the school system and he would
oppose cutting any programs or
staff.
"You're taking a step backward
from the progress you've made
here," Cobb said.
In order to restore public confidence in the system, keeping things
"out in the open" and "working
closely with the media" is the key,
Cobb said.
"Just to make certain that everybody realizes that they are a stakeholder in their educational
process," Cobb explained. "I've
heard there's some mistrust in certain facets in the school system
here. And, I do believe you have a
very large amount of support in the
various communities for the individual community schools. I think
probably the biggest problem in the
mistrust issue, is perception."
The state education department's invofvement in the Floyd
County system doesn't worry
Cobb, who said he is an excellent
working relationship with state
school officials.
To address the decline in school
enrollment, a two-year, five-year
and ten-year population projection
is needed in Floyd County, Cobb
said, in order to plan for the future.
He said those types of projections
would help head off financial problems related to enrollment.
In response to a question about
what role politics play in a school
system, Cobb acknowledged that it
is difficult to take politics out of the
schools, but he did not elaborate on
the issue.
Cobb favors keeping small
schools open if it is financially feasible, but he also realizes that
sometimes it is more economical to
consolidate smaller schools.
Cobb supports Kentucky's Education Reform Act and feels it has
made a positive impact on poorer
school districts. One area of KERA
that needs to be addressed is its assessment program and Cobb feels
the General Assembly will do so in
the 1996 legislative session.
Cobb has two grown children
and received his master's degree
from Union College.

edge of how things should be done,
but because I am from the region, I
bring that background. I understand
a lot of the problems being faced by
the county," Campbell said. "I
think I bring a real good mix in all
of that."
Trust in the school system can
be restored by operating the system
under a "team effort" concept and
making sure all the players know
The only woman among four finalists for Floyd County's next
school superintendent is a native of
Eastern Kentucky who is looking
for work closer to home.
Judith Campbell, superintendent
of the Bellevue City Schools in
Bellevue, Ohio, is from Breathitt
County and headed north in 1969 to
take a job in one of Ohio's poorest
schools. From her experiences in
the Ohio school system, Campbell
said Floyd County's problems are
like many others.
"I don't think your problems are
any different than anybody else's,"
Campbell said. "The truth is that
school districts all over the country
are facing the same kinds of problems. In my first superintendency,
my school district was in the loan
fund. You would consider that a
deficit system. So, basically, I've
been through that. And, I know that
there is life during that period and
life after that period. That doesn't
Judith Campbell
bother me at all. I know that it is a
very serious situation."
Campbell says that a school sys- the goals of the system, Campbell

"I bring some outside know!- nity.. .If I can't trust my staff, then
there would have to be some disciplinary action. I have a real bard
time dealing with people who are
dishonest with me."
Campbell realizes that politics
do play a role in a school system,
but she believes there are positive
and negative politics. She said the
biggest issue that revolves around
politics is money.
''The person that controls the
budget is the person that has all the
power," Campbell said. "I've seen
districts where certain political
people get certain things and the
other political group doesn't have
any chance of getting what they
want. I believe what you have to do
is gather all your facts and you
have to look at everything from all
sides and deal with the issue. You
can't make your decisions according to personalities or according to
the pressure placed there."
Campbell said she has survived
some intense political pressure involving a tuition issue related to a
child of a physician, but she said
she stood her ground.
Campbell is no stranger to
KERA with a family of Kentucky
educators. A sister-in-law teaches
in Morgan County; a brother-in-law
works at a regional service center;
and a sister teaches mathematics.
That keeps family conversations revolving around Kentucky's Education Reform Act.
''There are some good educational processes that are a part of
KERA," Campbell said. "One of
the biggest problems is we jumped
in without doing preparation to get
people ready to accept it."
Campbell added that some
strands of KERA, such as preschool and block scheduling in
high schools, are being implemented in schools outside the state.
Campbell is married and bas
two grown sons. Her husband is a
retired school teacher.

Community colleges and KET are
partners in Going the Distance
Having fun
From left, Charles Hieronymus, Danny Greene, Todd Webb, John
Gaulconer, Cybrlwskl, Jim Scurlock and Mark Caruso put together
playground equipment for OLM students.
OLM gets new playground
After 50 years of intense use, the
brightly colored see-saws and
merry-go-round at Our Lady of the
Mountains School's playground
were retired and replaced by new
playground equipment which
include a climbing igloo, a modern
merry-go-round, two basketball
poles with backboards, swings, and
rocking animals for preschoolers.
A crew of fathers took out the
old equipment and outlined and
prepared a new play area during
November's worst spell of perpetual drizzle and rain. Rain ponchos
were handed out by head teacher
Miss Pat Gallagher, who also provided the workers with food and
drink.
Two weeks later under dryer circumstances, the same crew assembled and installed the new playground equipment.
Before returning home for hot
baths and shoulder massages, the
tired men personally tried out the
equipment.
The school's students were
delighted with the playground
improvements, but the men think
they may have delighted their coworker and the school's basketball
coach Todd Webb of Louisa even
more.
Webb had hoped for new basketball goals for a long time and he
worked side by side with the school
parents to realize his goal.

The battery can become the
"Achilles heel" of your car if you
don't take care of it.
A weak battery is a major cause
of "can't starts" in the winter time.
In zero degree weather, a battery
loses about 60 percent of its
strength.
To squeeze the most juice out of
your battery and improve your
cold-morning starting chances,
AAA suggests:
* Be sure the shift selector is in
park. If your car has manual shift,
use the neutral gear and depress the
clutch while starting.
* Make sure all electrical accessories (radio, lights, heater) are
turned off before using the starter.
They put an extra strain on the battery.
• Cars with fuel-injected engines
should be started without your
touching the gas pedaJ--.,.even when
the engine is cold. If you experience
problems, refer to the owner' manual for specific instructions. For
other cars, the recommended procedure is: push the gas pedal all the
way down to the floor once, then
release it completely before engaging the starter. DON'T PUMP THE
GAS PEDAL. This can cause
flooding.
* 'fum the ignition key to start.
but don't hold it in the start position
for more than 10 seconds at a time.
Constant grinding can damage the
starter and drain even a fullycharged battery. If the engine doesn't catch the first time, stop and

carburetor and you have flooded the
engine, depress the gas pedal to the
floor. This sets the automatic choke.
Engage the starter and keep your
foot on the pedal until the engine
starts again, then release it slowly.
Again, do not pump the pedal.
* Don't let your car sit too long.
A short drive of five or six miles
today will bring the car up to operating temperatures and increase the
chances of it being "ready to go"
when it's needed tomorrow morning.
* Never warm the car in a closed
garage. Carbon monoxide fumes
from the exhaust can be lethal.
Miscellaneous reminders:
* Keep the gas tank at least halffull to reduce the risk of fuel-line
freeze-up
* When traveling in extremely
cold temperatures, keep plenty of
warm clothing and blankets in the
car. No one plans to break down,
but it does happen and you'll need
head covering, gloves and boots ifit
does.
* Trre pressure is affected by
outdoor temperature. For every I 0
degree decrease in the ambient temperature, tire pressure drops one
pound. Low pressure can affect
traction, the way the car handles
and also gas mileage.

Arts degree via distance learning.
Ben Carr, chancellor of the
UKCCS, stated that "The earnings
gap between college-educated people and those without degrees is
growing wider each year, but not
everyone can attend college the traditional way. Going the Distance,
will offer college opportunities to
those who cannot come to campus
on a regular basis to take courses."
Telecourses make up 75% of the
60 credit hours required to complete the Associate in Arts degree.
Remaining credit hours may be
completed through other technologies such as computers, interactive
classrooms, satellite delivery, independent study and traditional classrooms. Campus faculty oversee
each telecourse, determine course
requirements, and evaluate student
performance. Telecourses include
video programs, textbooks, study

Jazzy. bass tones from Jesse
Summers' guitar introduced the
winning public service announcement he wrote to advertise Our
Lady of the Mountains School's
annual fruit drive.
l.T. Absher used humor and his
experience with orthodontics to
remind listeners that citrus fruit is
an appealing, healthy snack that can
be enjoyed even with braces.
Like their middle school classmates, both boys spent the last
week of October working with
rhymes, catchy phrases, background music and tape recorders to
compose radio announcements
about their school's annual citrus
drive. All the students performed

PARENTAL APPROVAL••••
I have never written anything in
my column that has drawn so
many comments from parents and
fans as has last Wednesday's column on a ban on Sunday athletics.
·I am surprised at the number of
people who have called me at
home, at work and at the grocery
store or at the ball games telling
me they were in complete agreement with the idea.
I'm not just surprised but
stunned that parents would love to
see a ban on Sunday athletics and
other school related activities. I
figured, really, that it would be just
the opposite, that some would disagree, which is their right.
For those of you who expressed
your opinion, thanks for reading
my column. I think we have some
of the finest kids in the country
and we need to look out for them.
Thanks everyone.
"DOG" CAMPBELL
INVITATIONAL...
A big card is on tab, and we're
not talking wrestling, for the Allen
Central gym beginning December
26th when the first annual "Dog"
Campbell Invitational grade
school basketball tournament gets
underway with eight boys' teams
taking part.
The tournament was named
after the popular former Garrett
coach who was a household name
in high school basketball.
"Ross"
Halbert
Campbell,
(Martin),
"Copper"
John
(Wayland) and Gene Frasure
(Maytown) were four of the finest
coaches this county has ever had.
There were many other good ones,
like Don Wallen (Wheelwright),
Estill Hall (McDowell), Jack Frost
Wells (Prestonsburg) and others.
The tournament will include
three in-county schools and five
from out of the county. The opening game, Tuesday, December 26,
5:30 p.m., will pit the Duff
Bulldogs against Caney Creek.
Hindman will face John M.
Stumbo in the second game at 7:30
p.m.
The first round will continue
Wednesday, December 27 with
Betsy Layne taking on Johnson
County Middle School at 5:30. In
the second game of the evening,
Carr Creek faces Pike County at
7:30.
One semifinal game will be
,. played on Thursday, December 28
at 5:30. The semifinal game will
precede the Campbell County versus Allen Central high school
game.
The second semifinal game will
take place Friday, December 29
with the consolation and championship game slated for Saturday,
December 30 at 5:30 and 7 p.m.

Adams stops Pikeville to win own tourney
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The Adams Middle School Blackcats
survived a Pikeville scare and captured
their own invitational basketball tournament with a 36-32 edging of the junior
Panthers last Saturday afternoon at the
Adams gym.
Joseph Crockett tossed in ten points to
lead all scorers and Lee Spriggs finished
with nine points for Adams.
Jeremiah Akers topped the scoring for
Pikeville with eaght points and Dustin
Branham added seven.
It was a low-scoring affair as both teams
struggled offensively. Pikeville came into
the championship game with the reputation
of putting a lot of points on the scoreboard.
But Adams mixed the defense up and
slowed the Panthers' attack.
Adams grabbed an 11-9 lead after the
first quarter with Jeremy Caudill and
Spriggs scoring four points each. The
Blackcats took the lead on a three-point
basket by Josh Turner.
Pikeville came back in the second period
and battled the Blackcats as the lead
changed hands several times before the
Panthers taed the game at 19-19 at the half.
Akers scored four of his eight points in the
second period while the Panthers held
Adams to two field goals. The Blackcats
connected on five of six free throws to stay
close. Jarrod Hall completed a three-point
play in the period.
Pikevalle held a slim one-point margin,
26-25, after three quarters of play, outscoring Prestonsburg 7· 6 in the third period as
the two teams continued to miss the basket.
Crockett, the Blackcats'leading scorer, had
only two points at the half, and tossed in
four points in the third period, while Jeremy
Caudill scored two.
Adams opened the fourth quarter with a
basket by Spriggs to take a one-point lead,
27-26 and the lead went back and forth until
Spriggs completed a three-point play and
John Dixon hit two free throws to send the
Blackcats out to a four-point lead. A lead
they would hold over the final three minutes.
"Pikeville has a real good team," Adams
coach, Neil Turner, said. "Mark (Martin)
does a good job with them. He's very energetic. They're a good team."
Adams connected on 12 of 18 free
throws, while Pikeville hit six of 13
attempts.
It was at the free throw line the
Blackcats secured the victory. Pikeville had
13 field goals to Prestonsburg's ten.
Crockett was perfect with four free throws
in four attempts. Dixon hit five of eight
from the charity stripe and Caudill was a
perfect two of two.
Matt Walls scored five points for
Pikeville while Nick King, Jeremy Collins
and Brandon Thompson scored four each.
Caudill finished with six points for

by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The Prestonsburg Blackcats and
Paintsville Tigers met on the basketball court for the first time in
three years as a ban on scheduling
of the two teams was lifted.
But it may be a good idea to suspend the confrontation again after
the altercation between the two
coaches on the sideline in the first
half took place.
Paintsville had an easy time,
with the Tigers pulling out an 80-69
win. But technical fouls ruled the
game in the first half after some
shoving between l.R. Vanhoose
and Gavin Hale.
Coach Jackie
Pack and
Paintsville Coach Bill Mike
Runyon exchanged words at mid
court in a heated dispute before a
security guard had to send both to
their respective benches.
After play resumed, the second
half went off without any trouble as
the Tigers rolled to their fifth win
of the season against one loss. It
was the fourth consecutive loss for
Prestonsburg, who has yet to pick
up a victory this season.
Pack made a change in his
guards, moving Bret James to the
point and Wes Samons to the two
guard. The move proved a good
one as Samons poured in a teamhigh 21 points. Samons hit three
three-point baskets and was six of
six from the free throw line.
Jason Bevins was the only other
Prestonsburg player in double figures with 13 points. James finished
with seven points a~d Andy Jarvis
scored six. Bennett Allen hit two
three-point baskets, scoring six
points. J.P. Skeens had six points as
well. Freshman John Ortega had a
trey and four points. Kyle Conley

South Floyd's T.T. Pack (34} went under for an easy basket against Allen Central In conference basketball action at Allen Central last Friday night. Pack scored 12 points In the game, but the Rebels

Rebels pass century mark
in 104-86 win over South Floyd
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
When you are the state's fifth
best percentage shooting team, it
is expected that you will put
some numbers on the scoreboard
and that is just what the Allen
Central Rebels did against South
Floyd last Friday night at Allen
Central as the two teams met in
their first district game of the
year.
Junior Thomas Jenkins, the
state's seventh leading scorer,
tossed in 25 points and sophomore point guard Todd Howard
added 23 to lead the Rebels to an
104-86 win over Coach Jim
Rose's ballclub. Sophomore
Brian Crawford added 21 points
in a rare start and Jason Baker
netted 17 points.
Howard said he was only
responding to his coach's instructions
"Coach Martin wants me to
shoot more than what I had
been," Howard, who hit four
three-point baskets. said. "I'm
hitting my shots. I'm just feeling
right now."
But Howard is getting it done
at the charity stripe as well as hitting seven of eight attempts and
picking up four assists. His
becoming more involved in the
Rebels offense is one reason for
the quick start of Allen Central, a
team that wasn't supposed to produce th1s season.
"We thought this would be a
rough game for us with three of
our starters out," Howard saad
"It was a tough game. We got our
break going and we played well."
South Floyd placed five players in double figures led by Jason
Shannon's 19 points. Terrence
Mullins and Nick Little totaled
14 points each ~bile T.T. Pack
and Bear Stephens scored 12 and
ten points respectively
Jenkins and Baker got the
Rebels off to a quick start as they
ran out to a 21-12 first-quarter
lead. Each scored six points in
the first quarter. The inside play
of Shannon kept the Raiders
close as he scored five first-quarter points.
The game was tied at 2-2
before Allen Central took an 8-2
lead, a lead the team never relin·
quished. Jenkins hit a 17-foot
jumper that gave Allen Central a
12-point, 19-7, lead with 1:54
left to play in the first.
A three-pointer by Howard, a
Crawford free throw and a
rebound basket by freshman
Gary Hunter gave the Rebels an
18·point lead at the half, 53-35.
Howard admitted after the
game that his free throw shooting
in high school is much improved
over his days at Maytown Grade
School.
"Lord no, I never shot the
threes like I am now," he admitted. "I feel like I'm playing the
best that I have ever played. I'm
loving it right now."
Martin said he has liked his
team's effort as a first-half ballclub, but he is waiting for a fourquarter game from his team.
"Lately we have been a twoquarter team, but tonight we
played two and a half," he said.
We were up 24 with four minutes
to go in the third and we quit taking good shots. South Floyd
moved the ball up and down the
floor nice. We quit concentrating
on defense. We missed some
layups and South Floyd made a
good run."
Indeed Allen Central owned a
68-44 lead in the third period, but
South Floyd wasn't ready to fold .
The Raiders took advantage of
some ill advised shots by the
Rebels and went on an 11-4 run
to narrow the margin to 15
points, 72-57.
Chris Moore came off the
Raider bench to spark the comeback by scoring five quick
points. He had a rebound basket
and then stole an inbounds pass
for a layup.
(See Allen Central, page 2B)
It has been an unpredictable
high school basketball season and it
looks like more of the same is in the
forecast.
The Johnson Central Golden
Eagles looked as if they were ready
to make some noise in the region
this year, and still could, but at
Betsy Layne, Coach Johnny Ray
Turner's ballclub was the victim of
Rocky Newsome's last (tenths) second shot and the Eagles fell to
coach Junior Newsome's ballclub
68-67 to lose for only the second
time this season.
The Bobcats, who saw an 11point third-quarter lead evaporate,
had to draw a play out of Duke
University's play book to pull this
one out. Evidently Newsome had
the play in mind when his ballclub,
trailing 67-66, had the ball and had
to go the length of the court with
just a little more than a second on
the clock.
''We had to go full court to get
the shot off," Newsome said of the
play.
The play developed and Rocky
Newsome was on the receiving end
of a long pass from out of bounds.
He received the ball and hit a short
jumper toff the baseline with six
tenths of a second to play. The ball
dropped through the net and the
Bobcats came home with the win,
their third of the season.
Newsome's team built an eightpoint lead 48-40 after three quarters
and extended the lead to 11 points
early in the fourth quarter.
"They hit four three·point baskets against us and came back," the
Betsy Layne coach said. "I mean
they were long three-pointers."
The Bobcats had a chance to
widen the margin, but could not hit
from the charity stripe.
"We missed sq.me key free
the
stretch,"
throws
down
Newsome said. "That let them back
in the game. Then they hit the
three-point baskets in the last
minute. They were desperation
·
three-point baskets."
Rocky Newsome led the
Bobcats in scoring with 29 points
and is averaging a little more than
24 a game. Chris Hamilton, who
did not start the game, came off the
bench and contributed 13 points
and senior forward Willie Meade
tossed in ten points
Newsome srud that he is pleased
w1th the progress that seven-footer
Jonathan Newman has made this
season.
"He is coming along real well."
the Betsy Layne mentor said. "He
was JUSt green and inexperienced
when he came here. He is improving and has been a pleasant surprise
for us."
Newman scored eight points,
had five block shots and five
rebounds in the win over Johnson
Central in making his first start this
season.
Newsome said he feels good
about his team and feels the bench
is starting to contribute.

Allen Central--
Post up play
Nick Little (12) of South Floyd made his move to the basket while
being guarded by an Allen Central defender last Friday night. The two
teams met In their first conference game of the year at Allen Central.
The Rebels posted an 104·86 win over the Raiders. lohoto bv Ed Taylor)

respectively.
Duff Bulldog Coach Ronnie Patton will be the tournament
manager.
There will be plenty of good grade school basketball
played that week and we want to encourage all to come out
and support the tournament and help make it an annual
event. There is plenty of excitement when eight very good
grade school teams get together. You will enjoy it.
PRESTONSBURG VS PAINTSVILLE ...
According to eye witnesses who attended the game, the
second half went without a hitch. What about the first half, I
asked?
There was a confrontation between the two coaches that
looked ugly. Seems Coach Jackie Pack and Paintsville
Coach Bill Mike Runyon had words at mid court in the first
half.
So it goes!
JENKINS IN TOP TEN...
(from last Thursday's KHSAA stats)
Allen Central's Thomas Jenkins is the seventh top scorer
in the state with a 29.4 average through the first five games
(Allen Central has played seven games so far this season).
He has hit 44 two-point field goals and buried ten threepointers for a total of 147 points.
He trails Paintsville's Craig Ratliff by one-tenth of a
point. Ratliff was averaging 29.5 points per game through
two games.
Paintsville's J.R. Vanhoose, a sophomore, is the state's top
rebounder with 15 rebounds per game. Jenkins is the state's
tenth best with an average of 11.4 per contest.
As a team, Allen Central is the fifth best field goal percentage shooting team in the state making more than 55 percent of their shots - the one area that has been a surprise to
coach Johnny Martin.
"That is the one area that has surprised me this season
with this team," he said. "We shoot the ball well."
If that wasn't enough, the Rebels are the state's sixth best
free throw shooting team hitting more than 73 percent from
the charity stripe.
As a team, Paintsville leads the state in rebounding,
pulling in an average of 41.5 per game.
There is no doubt that the best two players in the 15th
Region are Craig Ratliff and Thomas Jenkins. I know there
are other good players, but these two are definitely Division
I prospects. I enjoy watching both of them play.
HARDEE GETS ANOTHER AWARD...
Prestonsburg's Ryan Hardee has been named to the
Kentucky Track/Cross Country Coaches Association AllArea 9 team. Hardee earned the award with his performance
during the past cross-country season. He is a freshman at
Prestonsburg. Way to go, Ryan!
Lots of-good basketball on tab just before the holidays.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports.
Betsy L4yne - - "We're getting better," he said.
"It's just a matter of defining roles
on this team. We're getting good
play off the bench."
One of those has been Brandon
Castle. "Brandon is doing a great
job for us. He only had two points
in the game, but contributed other
ways. He's a big lift for us when he
comes in," Newsome said.
It was big crowd and one that
got involved in the game, according
to the Betsy Layne coach.
"They were into the game," he
said. "It was exciting."
Chris Hicks finished with six
points, but the Betsy Layne coach
said he feels he needs to score more.
"Chris is not looking for his
shot," Newsome said. "We're try·
ing to encourage him to startmg
looking more."
Beecher Butcher led Johnson
Central in scoring with 23 points.
Davey Turner buried three treys
and finished with 16 while James
Butcher ahd two three-point basket
and 17 points.

The Allen Central fans wanted
to sec the Rebels hit the century
mark and that came when
Howard stepped to the free throw
line with I: 18 left to play and
sank two free throws to make it
an 100-81 game.
"I look out there and I see a
veteran South Floyd team,"
Coach Martin said. "They have
T.T., Terrence and Jason. This is a
veteran team.
"I think the big difference
tonight was that we just shot the
ball so well. Todd is playing really well and is going along for us.
Brian (Crawford) played well for
us.
"We have good speed. When
we can rebound we're a good
team. That's the key for us, is
how well we rebound. But we
can't run the break.
''Jason (Baker) still can't play
a whole game. I probably should
have taken him out more than I
did. He played so awfully hard
and it was so hot in here tonight."
Baker was ill before the season
started and was out the first game
for Allen Central.
Jenkins pulled down 12
rebounds for Allen Central and
had four assists. Howard dished
off eight assists and Crawford
had six.
Martin said his team got tired
in the fourth quarter and it affected their overall game.
"Thomas got tired. He started
missing shots he doesn't normally miss. We missed at the free
throw line. They all played hard,"
the Allen Central coach said.
Martin said it was a good win
for his ballclub because of the
way they played.
"They played well," he said.
"Jesse Hall came off the bench
and played well for us. He hasn't
been playing that good in the JV
games, but got in a varsity game
and played very
for us."

P'burg crumbles against Tolsia
by Ed Taylor
Sports Writer
Coach Harold Tackett's Lady
Blackcats of Prestonsburg is a
young team and floor leadership is
vital to the way this team performs
., on each night out. But in the Belfry
Invitational
tournament
last
Thursday night, the leadership did
not show up and neither did the real
Prestonsburg team.
Prestonsburg was matched
against a very tough Tolsia, W. Va.
team in the opening round last week
and found out why Tolsia is rated as
one of the best in West Virginia.
The Lady Blackcats fell 64-48 to
the out of staters and it was a disappointing night for those who were
supposed to lead.
Senior April Newsome could
only score nine points after averag• ing just more than 19 for the fwst
• five games of the season. Junior
two guard Crystal Layne tossed in
only six points in an off night.
Prestonsburg got no inside play
from sophomore's Ladonna Slone and
Jessie Burke. Slone finished with four
points and Burke failed to score.
Freshman Shelly Greathouse led
the Lady Blackcats with 12 points.
Another freshman, Kimi Nunnery,
scored ten points as the only other
• Lady Blackcat in double figures.
•
Newsome hit a three pointer and
• finished with her nine points.
Brandi Lawson had the other trey
for Prestonsburg and scored five
points in the game. Jenna Fannin
came off the bench and tossed in
two points.
Tolsia took a one-point lead, 1413, after the first period. Nunnery,
who did not start the game, scored
five points in the first quarter for
Prestonsburg to help keep the Lady
Blackcats close.
Dusty Crum led the Tolsia
offense in the second quarter and
scored seven of her 11 points in the
second stanza to stake Tolsia to a
33-25 halftime lead. Lawson and
Newsome had three-point baskets
in the second period for

Prestonsburg. Newsome had five of
her nine points in the period.
Crystal Little picked up the scoring for Tolsia in the third quarter as
they raced out to a 49-39lead. Little
scored eight points in the quarter.
Layne got involved in the
Prestonsburg offense in the third
period and scored all six of her
points at the time. Greathouse had
four points in the stanza.
Tolsia held Prestonsburg to only
two field goals, both by
Greathouse, in the fourth period as
the team opened up its lead to 20
points before winning by the 16point margin.
Hilary Hoke led Tolsia with 19
points. Crum had 11 and Crystal
Little scored 16.
Prestonsburg continued to struggle at the free throw line hitting ten
of 19 attempts. Newsome and
Nunnery combined to shoot 17 of
the 19. Newsome hit four of eight
while Nunnery canned six of nine.
Prestonsburg was cold all night
from the floor hitting only eight of
18 shotc; in the first half and eight of
32 in the second half. The Lady
Blackcats attempted 16 three-pointers, their life-line, and hit only two.
Greathouse, a 5' 1" guard, led
Prestonsburg (2-4) in rebounding
with six. Burke pulled down four
and Newsome had three caroms.
Greathouse had five assists to lead
Prestonsburg. Layne dished off four
with Burke and Nunnery having
two each.
The loss was the fourth in a row
for the Lady Blackcats after winning their first two of the season.
The uwy Blackcats will travel
to Knott County Central Thursday
night just before the holiday break.
After the holidays, Prestonsburg
will travel to Harlan on January 6.

Margret Morgan tossed in a
game-high 22 points as the Osborne
Lady Eagles defeated the Prater
Creek Lady Cougars 48-23 last

SHORT ON CASH?

A 'HOT' ONE? KENTUCKYLOUISVILLE XXVII
PROMISES PLENTY OF HEAT
Kentucky-Louisville XXVII this
Saturday might be the hottest since
Knoxville (1983).
Beyond it's usual cause, for hand
wringing among Bill Keightly
types. the Kentucky and Louisville
senes renewal has two peripheral
elements to spice the 27th meeting.
Two months ago, Rick Pitino
fired a volley across Denny Crum's
bow, telling UK fans the eligibility
of U of L players Jason Osborne
and Alex Sanders is measured not
by satisfactory grades at semester's
end, but whether or not they will be
qualified for the Kentucky game.
And, U of L basketball is still
under investigation by
the
Louisville daily newspaper which
has already brought an NCAA
scolding and more scrutmy for
Crum's program. The newspaper
continues to dig into Assistant
Coach Larry Gay's affairs. If allegallons are factual, Gay and others
have indulged in shady dealings
which could have a long range
1mpact on U of L basketball.
In the short term, the investigation and swirl of ridicule because of
Jt, becomes an albatross for Crum's
team. Along with having played a
weak early schedule (0-3 against Auburn, Boston College and Ga.
Tech), U of L must play in Rupp
Arena where the level of hostility
will be as high as 1t was in
November 1983 when Kentucky
smothered Louisville, 65-44.
Kentucky has won four of the
last five meetings, but Da Coach
will remind his team the Cardinals
turned the favored Wildcats into
five guys wearing the same clothes
in Freedom Hall last New Year's
Day, 88-86, and it was not that
close.
Items of interest: U of L's depth
(lack of), how UK is able to defend
Samaki Walker. Key element in
view of last year's game, how
Kentucky is able to contain DeJuan
Wheat A match-up to look forward
to - Wheat-Wayne Turner.
For Louisville to win - The
Cardinals must get mote than five
points from Brian Kiser and Tick
Regers (YSI- Ga. Tech). Walker's
effectiveness working to get the ball
and scoring over 35 minutes (his
playing time at Ga. Tech). And how
effective Alvin Sims is.
For Kentucky to win - In their
last meeting Jan. 1, U of L was
ready, Kentucky was not. This time
UK must demonstrate it can keep
up the heat, make its defense pay
dividends and make a transition to
smooth offense. Not easily done.
Watch the assist column. Key player(s) Antoine Walker inside, Tony
Delk on the perimeter. Big game:
Jeff Sheppard.
The game will be on CBS
Television regionally.
Enough said, but for a prediction.
Kentucky 86, Louisville 69.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

you're desperately
behind on your shopping (blush), is
there a better time of year than the
last days before Christmas?

U of L football fans: Everything

U of L basketball fans: Some
changes. Major ones.
MOE REASONS
TO JUST SAY NO
Reasons why Kentucky's Moe
Williams should just say no to the
'96 NFL draft.
• It's called college, best years of
your life. Better even than lots of
money.
• Yo Moe, its a big draft year for
0. linemen, you're a second
rounder
• It's spelled L-1-o-y-ds o-f L-on-d-o-n.
• There's a statue with a football
man on it. Pursuing it brings lots of
pub and can raise NFL draft stock
too.
• Durability. Your 6-2, 200pound body could use another season down on the farm.
• And finally, Kentucky football
fans adore you.
Footnote: Brent Claiborne did
his best Dressed as the Wildcat
mascot, the former kicker on the
football team grappled with Moe
WiJliams as the UK star was introduced at the Kentucky-Georgia
Tech basketball game Dec. 9 in
Rupp Arena. Fans cheered as the
Wildcat held onto Williams' legs in
a 'please don't go' gesture.
Alas, scuttlebutt is it's in vain.
Moe Williams has stopped going to
class.
UK FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
UK's 1996 football schedule has
undergone a change. The Louisville
game has been moved to August 31.
The Wildcats will play at Cincinnati
September 7, then take advantage of
an open date to prepare for visiting
Indiana Sept. 21, followed by backto-back road dates at Florida and
Alabama.
After a home game against South
Carolina October 12, comes what
once again, could be the swing date
at LSU
on UK's schedule October 19. The Wildcats return
home to play Georgia October 26,
take another open date, then host
Mississippi State and Vanderbilt
November 9 and 16. UK closes at
Tennessee, November 23.

WORTH REPEATING
• About the Jamal MasbburnJimmy Jackson feud in Dallas over
who gets the most shots at the hoop.
Mavs Coach Dick Motta says,
"There are a couple of people who
got mad at each other, won't speak
to each other. They can do one of
two things. Get in a fetal position
and go back to mama, or come back
and be a pro."
Comment: While Mashburn and
Jackson are deciding, maybe someone could remind them about
Americans their age walking the
snowy streets of Tuzla in Bosnia.
• Stanley Roberts with the Los

bicep that wistfully reads ''Franchise."
Teammate Brian Williams explains,
'That's because he owns a couple of
Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises."

C_o_nn_e_c_ti_·o_n________________~~»_en_~"-~Ever wonder what some of
your favorite NASCAR personalities want for Christmas?
Let's take a peek at some letters that were sent to old Samt
Nick from some recognizable
names in the racing world.
Dear Santa, Please send me
a win for Christmas. I've been
doing this Winston Cup thing
for the last seven years and I
still ain't too sure what victory
lane looks like. Yours Truly,
Rick Mast
Dear Santa, I also request a
win this Christmas. I've been
at it since 1986 and I've only
won a few Busch races here
and there. Plus I'm going to be
with a new team next year and
I promise to never punch a fellow driver in the face as long
as I live. Sincerely, Michael
Waltrip.
Dear Santa, I really don't
want anything for Christmas
this year, but I have a deal for
you. I'll give you $1 million
for your North Pole operations. You and your wife can
retire and I' 11 take over your
shops. However, I can't guarantee success, but at least I' II
own the shops and I' II get a
big sponsor. Here's to a
GREEN Christmas, Felix
Sabates.
Dear Santa, ~nother year,
same request. Just once, I want
to win the Daytona 500. The
seven championships were
nice, but I don't want to be
remembered as the best driver
to never win the big one. See.
Ya in the Florida Sun, Dale
Earnhardt
Dear Santa, It's been a
tough year. You were too good
to those Chevy guys during the
'95 season! Which brings me
to my Christmas wish for this
year. I need a new crying
towel. I wore mine out last
season. It lasted through my
weeping over the Chevy
advantage. It survived the
Goody's 500 when Earnhardt
put me in the wall. Heck, it
even held up when Sabates
bought several of my team
members. Make it black with a
big number two. Thanks,
Rusty Wallace
Dear Santa, I never was much
to ask for things. But now I'm at
my wit's end. I feel as though I
have worked as hard as anyone
on the tour and I deserve a
Winston Cup championship.
Jack and the guys have been so
good to me. It seems like we
always just come up a little bit
short. Is a championship too
much to ask for? I sure would
like one. Patiently Waiting,
Mark Martin
Dear Santa, Do you have
any good luck to pass out this
year? Here lately, I have been
blessed with a run of luck of
the unfortunate variety. My
teammates had super 1995
seasons, and I want to make
my car ·Owner and sponsor
proud of me. Maybe a few less
wrecks, no more brown
engines, and no more bad pit
stops would also be welcome.
Thanks, Ken Schrader.
Dear Santa, I have already
been given my greatest wish
- to be able to race again.
Heck, when I came back, I was
even competitive. Just let me
keep on racing and win one
here and there and I'll be
happy! Sincerely, Ernie Irvan
Dear Santa, I have it all. So I
don't have any special requests
this year. Whatever you want to
give me and Brooke, we'll be
happy. P.S. Your milk and cookies will be on the table. Your
Champ, Jeff Gordon
Dear Santa, We're close!
And I know that new Pontiac
you guys have been working
on is going to be hot! Just put
me back in the winner's circle
and I' II send you an autographed photo. The King,
Richard Petty
Dear Santa, I just want
everyone to have a safe and
happy holiday, and thanks for
reading my column.
Sincerely, Ben Trout.

Invitational to start the season .
They defeated Prestonsburg at
home last week.
Junior Penny Tackett scored 16
points to lead Betsy Layne in scoring. Jessica Johnson added 14 and
Ashley Gearheart tossed in ten
points in a strong outing for the
senior forward, who leads the Lady
Cats in rebounding.

When the Allen Lady Eagles
hosted the Lady Hornets of Auxier
Tuesday night, the game featured
two of the top grade school girls'
basketball players in the county.
When the game started, it was
thought it would come down to
which player would out duel the
other in the scoring column.
Although the duel between the two
ended up being only a one-point
difference, Allen pulled out a 66-43
win over Auxier.
Seventh

sensation
Ramanda Music scored 34 points to
lead the Lady Eagles. Brandi Wells
finished with 33 points for the Lady
Hornets.
Music had help from Amelia
Conley, who finished the game with

could get was from Jennifer
Curnutte who added five pomts for
Auxier.
The Lady Eagles shot zero for
eight from the free throw line

Gearheart to lament the lapse at the
charity stripe.
"You know what we will be
doing in practice," he said of the

and Rachael Mitchell tossed in four
points each for Allen. Bethany
Joseph had two points.
Moore and Newsome scored
two each for Auxier, with Shepherd

Nearly 2,000 years ago, the story goes, three
wise men came to Bethlehem bearing gifts for the
baby Jesus.
His family had nothing, not even a room at the
inn. The child was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
But they were taken care of. Their needs were
met.
Just as in the olden days, those who have more
have given to those who have little. They came
bearing gifts to those in need.
Christmas time, it seems, brings out the best in
people.
For months, various organizations and groups
around the region have been collecting clothes and
toys, fruit and candies, and other food items to be
donated to the needy for Christmas.
Marlow Tackett was expecting close to 5,000
people at his Christmas party Sunday in Pikeville,
the 19th annual event.
And closer to home, Eula Hall anticipated about
1,000 people would show up at the John M.
Stumbo Elementary School for her annual
Christmas extravaganza Saturday.
Hall, the founder of the Mud Creek Clinic, has
been holding the party for several years. Several of
the doctors at Highlands Regional chip in to help
pay for the event, which includes a Christmas dinner.
She then gives out toys, candy, fruit, and clothes.
"This year, we have 300 pairs of shoes," she said
last Friday.
She said she and other volunteers spent Friday
night getting the items ready and Saturday handing
them out.
She served about 900 people at the party last
Volunteers helped unload donated items for the party last year.
year.
But Hall got a present and a surprise herself
Friday when Judge Charles P. Andrus with the
Social Security administration presented her with a
check for $1,040 that was collected from employees of the Huntington division and the Prestonsburg
division of the Social Security Administration.
"Thank you. That's great," Hall said to Andrus
with tears in her eyes. "That will help pay for what
I've got charged for tomorrow."
Hall has been helping the less fortunate for
many years. She's donated medications and pays
when the patient can't. She transports patients to
Huntington and Lexington using her own money
for gasoline.
She represents patients at disability hearings.
She delivers food boxes each month to the people
who are shut in. She helps people pay for their dentures.
"I buy medicine every day for somebody," she
said. "There are just so many things needed in a
rural area."
The highlight of the day was Santa's appearance.
After each child spoke with Santa, they got to pick
a toy from the huge pile beside him.
And then mom and dad got to choose clothes for
the entire family. They also picked up their food
baskets. More than 400 pounds of candy. 75
bushels of fruit and 300 pounds of nuts were distributed.
"If people didn't help me, 1 couldn't help them,"
Hall said. "It's JUSt a hig day for us."

MAN'S BEST FRIEND
Many residents of the hills and mountains
have formed close attachments to their
canine friends.
Even Dr. Thomas Walker and his party
brought along their faithful hounds when he
explored and documented the discovery of
Cumberland Gap in 1750, before venturing
deeper into the vast wilderness beyond and
building the first log cabin in what would
become the state of Kentucky.
The following is a true story and could
have occurred in any of the mountainous
states as easily as in Missouri which adjoins
Kentucky and Tennessee on their western
borders.
A farmhand, following orders of his
employer, killed a dog that was bothering
the farmer's livestock. The owner of old
Drum, the dead hound, hired an attorney and
sued his neighbor for the wrongful death of
his constant companion of many years.
In summation the lawyer addressed the
JUry:
"Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a
man has in this world may tum against him
and become his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving care may
prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we trust with our
happiness and our good name, may become
traitors to their faith.
"The money that a man has, he may lose;
it flies away from him, perhaps when he
needs it most. A man's reputation may be
sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered
action. The people who are prone to fall on
their knees and do us honor when success is
with us may be the first to throw the stones
of malice when failure settles its cloud upon
our heads.
"The one absolutely unselfish friend a
man can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
"Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog
stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in
health and sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may
be near his master's side.
"He will kiss the hand that has no food to
offer. He will hck the wounds that he
encounters with the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his pauper master as
if he were a prince.
"When all other friends desert him, his
dog remains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in
his love as the sun in its journey through the
heavens.
"If fortune drives the master forth, an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless,
a faithful dog asks no higher privilege than
that of accompanying him, to guard him
against danger and to fight against his enemies.
" ... and when the last scene of all comes
and death takes his master in its embrace
and his body is laid away in the cold ground,
no matter if all other friends pursue their
way, there by his graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad but open and alert, faithful and
true, even in death."
The jury deliberated a very short time
before returning with a judgment in favor of
old Drum's owner.

Chapter 220 of Big Sandy
Mended Hearts held its third annual
ceremony of "L1ghtmg of LighL'i of
Life" at Highlands Regional Medical
Center on Tuesday, December 5
Participating in the program were
23 chapter members and their 47 guests.
Prior to the tree lighting, a short
program followed by refreshments
was held in the medical center's
cafeteria. President Beverly Goble
welcomed the group and explained
the purpose of Mended Hearts,
which is mainly to visit heart
patients and their families to provide information about lifestyle
changes and give them encouragement and support.
Russell Briggs, VP and CO of
Highlands Regional Medical Center
expressed the medical center's appreciation of Mended Hearts and stated it
would continue full support of the visi·
tatlon program. Next speaker was
Cardiologist Rodney Handshoe, who is
a charter member and who helped get
the chapter organized and accepted in
the national organization which is supported by the American Heart
Association.
Project Chairperson Danese
Amburgey told how the project first
began and the meaning of the lights
and symbols. The red lights honor a
loved one and the white lights are in
memory of someone who has died.
For this year's tree, there were 88
contributions plus 91 lights in
memory and 86 lights in honor of
special persons. These remem·
brances gave a total of $1,100
which will be used for the two nursing scholarships for the visitation
workshops.
Following the program, the
group adjourned to the front
entrance of HRMC where the evergreen tree was permanently set. A
somber moment was observed by
candlelights and prayer. Then, the
darkness was illuminated when the
red and white lights were switched
on and the Big Sandy Gospel
Association entertained the crowd
with a medley of Christmas Carols.

'You Better Watch Out'
Everly-Grayson
Elizabeth Lynn Everly, daughter of John and Joyce Everly of
Prestonsburg, and Shaun Gerard Grayson, son of James and Barbara
Grayson of Versailles, were married September 9, at the Cathedral of
Christ the King In Lexington. The Rev. Greg Schuler officiated at the
ceremony. The bride Is a graduate of Paintsville High School and
Eastern Kentucky University In Richmond. She Is employed by
Southern Hills Early Childhood Program as a kindergarten teacher.
The groom Is a graduate of Lexington Catholic High School and the
University of Kentucky. He Is employed by KOCH Industries. After a
honeymoon In Panama City, Florida the couple will live In Lexington.
Christmas is a joyous season,
and gift giving is a custom that
goes along with this season. Every
year thousands of people are treated at hospital emergency rooms for
toy-related eye injuries during the
holiday season, and many more go
unreported.
This year, we want to make sure
that the gifts you give your children
will only bnng them happinessnot injury. So when you are shopping for children's toys, here are a
few guidelines you might want to
keep in mind.
First, make sure the manufacturer's age range for the toy designed
matches the age of your child or the
development of your child See that
the toy is appropriate to the child's
level of maturity as well as age.
Also, frequent accidents can occur
when children play w1th toys that
are not meant for them. So consider the "potential" danger to others
when selecting a toy.
Secondly, toys that contain
sugar-based compounds can be
dangerous to the eyes. "Those compounds that warn not to come into
contact with wood or carpet could
cause serious burns to the cornea,
which is the front surface of the
eye," states Dr. James Sawyer,
President of the Kentucky
Optometric Foundation "Also,
toys that contrun liquid-like or
sticky compounds could cause an
eye infection if the child touches
their eyes with their fingers."
Third, if the toy fires any kind of
object, or if the toy is launchable

and the speed-eye injury could
occur. Look for parts of the toy that

tickled to death with our genuine,
imitation-leather, cowboy-style
wallet that she had ordered from
Montgomery Ward.
I spent all of Christmas day cutting pictures for the little plastic
windows of my new wallet from
movie magazines that my older
sister, Mary Jane, had bought.
I doubt very seriously if that
wallet every carried a real piece of
money, but no amount of cash
could have bought the kind of
warm memories it now provides.
I haven't the foggiest notion as
to why this particular Christmas
sticks in my mind, but looking
back to those long winter days and
night of Christmastime in the
1940s, I suppose it might have
something to do with the fact that I
never went to bed hungry and I
never was cold .

A dental bridge is a fine dental
restoration which is used only
when a few teeth are missing and
the adjacent teeth are sound with
healthy bone and gums. It consists
of two parts; the abutments, which

be at least as many sound, firmly

teeth to be replaced. Even though
the teeth selected as abutment, or
support, teeth are healthy and
sound, they JOUSt be reduced to

not only carry the chewing pressures they w~re designed to carry
by nature. but also the loads of the
teeth in the span portion of the
bridge.
When teeth become loose and

by
including these teeth in a fixed

trated power or pressure to transfer
another object are the most likely
toys to become a problem. Objects
launched by a rubber band, slingshot, or spring could penetrate the
eye. These objects could have the
potential to rupture the eye given
the right conditions. Also, examine
toys for sharp, pointed edges that
could be a threat to your child's
vision.
Toys are teaching tools which
can stimulate a child's social, intellectual, physical, and creative
development. So you must keep
YOUR child in mind as you choose
their toys.

OVERTRAINING-WHY
MORE IS NOT ALWAYS
BETTER
Overtraining is a common problem for both the athlete and the
recreational exerciser. Overtraining
occurs when the body cannot completely recover from one bout of
exercise before another workout is
begun. This imbalance of recovery
and exercise occurs when training
mtensity and volume of exercise is
increased too quickly or beyond
one's genetic limits.
Thus it is important to know the
symptoms of overtraining so if they
occur you can reduce your training
quickly. If overtraining is not
quickly dealt with, it may severely
affect all facets of your life for an
extended period of time and mimic
many illnesses. Each person
responds to overtraining differently; however, most will have several
of the common symptoms of overtraining. The following is a partial
list of the common symptoms of
overtraining:
• Decreased physical performance.
• Reduced enthusiasm or destre
to train.
• Increased resting heart rate
upon waking up.
• Increased resting blood pressure.
• Chronic muscle or joint soreness.
• Increased incidence of injuries.
• Increased incidence of colds
and infections.
• Reduced appetite.
• Weight loss.
• Disturbed sleep patients.
• Increased depression, irritability, or anxiety.
As one who has suffered from
overtraining, I can say it is not a
pleasant expenence. In college, I
ran cross-country and track. My
freshman year I was a "walk-on"
and improved enough to Jetter in
both sports. I reasoned that if running 90 miles a week would help
me reduce my 10 kilometer times
by four minutes then surely running
120 miles would make me even
better. I became overtrained and
suffered academically, socially and
athletically because of it. I wish I
had known and heeded the symptoms of overtraining; it would have
made my sophomore year of college more enjoyabl~.
Tip o~ the Week: One piece of
chewing gum typically has about
10 calories and only a trace of fat.
A cough drop has, on average, 15
calories and also just a trace of fat.

Betsy Layne J.K.G. Club
helps to spruce up center
Students from Betsy Layne High
School once again worked at the
Spruce Pine School, which has
become a community center. The
project was part of Betsy Layne
High School's Jobs for Kentucky
Graduates Program. The project
began last year under the direction
of Larry Wilson and Carolyn Clark.
On Monday, November 6, Betsy
Layne High School conducted a
mock election. The election was
supervised by students from the
BLHS Political Science class, who
served as judges, deputies, sheriffs.
clerks, and assistants. Parallel to an
actual election, the students who
voted were required to sign in on a
register and then cast their votes on
the new, more technologically
advanced voting machine. Election
results mirrored those of the official
election held statewide on Tuesday.
Preceding the election, the
Political Science class was visited
by both candidates for Floyd
County Judge Executive: Ben Hale
and Ron Frasure. County Court
Clerk Carla Boyd also came to
speak with the class, and assisted
the students in organizing a voter
registration drive. The class also
•
prepared for the election by roleplaying the candidates running for
office in political debates.
These activities are only a sample of what the Political Science
class will participate in throughout
the year. They will also attend
Youth In Government Day at the
Floyd County Courthouse, hold
voter registration drives, debates,
and a mock election for the May
primary, send students to serve as
pages for Circuit and District
Judges, and visit the Prestonsburg ~
and Pikeville Federal Courts to
observe trials.
Jackie Dillion, Political Sctence
instructor, said she "considers ...voting as not only a privilege, but a
duty as a citizen. I am trying to
instill that in the students that I
teach."
It will continue this year under
Angela Coleman and Carolyn
Clark.
Students were bussed from the
high school to the Spruce Pine
School at Little Mud on Honaker.
The first scheduled visit was
November II. The work began
around 9:30 a.m.
Mrs. Donna Collins's Primary Class at Prestonsburg Elementary
recently visited Prestonsburg Community College for a day of science
activities.

and an artifact from that time period. Through th1s project, students
were able to analyze and interpret
historical events to develop a historical perspective.
Kory Caudill, from Mrs.
Deborah Walker's fourth grade
class chose the Fort Ancient Indians
as his subject for study during a
recent project in which all the students from Mrs. Walker's and Mrs.
Crisp's rooms participated.
THE FORT ANCIENT
INDIANS
by Kory Caudill
The Fort Ancient Indians lived
in the Late Prehistoric Period,
along with the Mississippian
Indians. Both were the first kind of
Indian to stay in the same home all
year around.
Their main job was farming and
growing stuff like corn and other
fruits and vegetables to pick and
harvest. They lived in large villages. They arc a lot different from
other Indians before them, because
most of the Indians hunted for their '
food.
Unlike the Fort Anc1ent Indians
who always grew their own food,
The Mississippian lnd1ans lived
along the great Mississippi RJVer.
They mostly farmed and grew the1r
own food, too.
They wove large baskets to put
all of their food in. Indians that
lived in the Late Prehistoric Period
buried their dead deep in the
ground on little mounds with pots II\
beside them.

A credit checkup: good for what might ail you
You've reached the maximum or
your credit cards. You borrow new
money to pay off older, overdue
debts. You withdraw from savings
to pay regular bills. You have no
idea how much you owe. If any of
these situations apply to you, the
Kentucky Society of CPAs recommends that you give yourself a
credit checkup.
HOW MUCH DEBT
IS TOO MUCH?
When you allow your debt to
climb too high, you run the risk of
not being able to meet your monthly payments. Missed or late payments can seriously damage your
credit rating-not to mention your
state of mental well-being. Most
credit advisers say that you should
not spend more than 10 percent to
15 percent of your total monthly net
) income on consumer debt-that
includes payments on credit cards
and on personal, student, and car
loans. It does not include your
mortgage payment. Generally, your
mortgage payment should not
exceed 28 percent of your monthly
net income.
If you're near or above the ISpercent danger point, it's time to put
some serious debt-reduction strategies into play. Most important, stop
using your credit cards (cut them up
if you must) and cancel your lines
of credit. Then develop a workable
plan for paying off your debt as
soon as possible.
CHECK YOUR
CREDIT REPORT
While you're checking your debt
level, you also might want to
review your credit report to make
sure the information it contains is
accurate. Three national credit
bureaus, along with more than a
thousand local and regional
bureaus, keep track of credit history
information. For a copy of your
credit report, contact a local credit
bureau (check your telephone directory), or call one of the three national credit bureaus: Equifax (800)685-1111 ), TRW (800682-7654) or
Trans Union (800-851-2674 ).
If you've been turned down for
credit, you are entitled to a · free
report as long as you request it
within 60 days. Otherwise, most
agencies charge a small fee. Costs
for the report, although typically
from $10 to $20, may vary. TRW
will send you a free copy once a
year.
Should you find an error in your
credit report, don't be afraid to challenge the information. The credit
bureau must investigate the dtsputed information, correct any inaccuracies, and delete inforn1ation it
cannot verify. If you're not satisfied
with the investigation of your
claim, you can write a statement (up
to 100 words) explaining the situation and have the statement entered
into your file so it is included with
future credit reports.
GET HELP BEFORE
RUNNING YOUR CREDIT
What if you find that you are
over your head in debt? If you
believe the situation is temporary,
try to talk to your creditors about
arranging an extended payment
plan. Many creditors are willing to
work with customers in resolving
debt problems. Be wary of consolidation loans in which a bank or
finance company takes command of
your debts and you, in turn, make
payments to that one institution.
Interest rates on such loans may be
higher-so you could be replacing a
stack of moderate debts with one
big one that may cost you even
more money.
If you find that you can't manage your debt on your own, a better
option may be to seek the guidance
of a non-profit credit counseling
agency. 1\vo of the largest arc the
National Foundation for Consumer
Credit ( 1-800-388-2227), and
Family Service Agencies (800-221 2681 ). Any national agency can
usually put you in touch with a local
office that provides consumer credit counseling.
For modest fees, most credit
counselors will review your debts
with you, analyze your income, and
help you work out ways to handle
your debt. In some cases, the counselor may even intercede and work
directly with your creditors on your
behalf to reduce and stretch out
monthly debt payments. For example, in some instances you can
make your monthly payments to the
credit counselor who, in turn, pays
your bills. Credit counselors also
are trained to help you understand
how to deal with a spending problem, if you have one.
CPAs say it's in your best interest to manage your credit wisely
and keep your credit report dean.
To learn more about managing your
credit send a self-addressed
stamped envelope to the Kentucky
Soctety of CPAs, P.O. Box 436869,
Louisville, KY 40253-6869 and

"Total Quality Management has
captured the attention of American
business, government executives,
and unions in the quest for more
effective management. Its prophets
and practitioners claim that it is
not a fad, but the necessary prescription for revitalizing our ailing
economy and reestablishing our
competitive edge in the world market," says Debra Kolodny, with the
National Treasury Employees
Union. Kolodny will conduct a
workshop on Total Quality
Management at Prestonsburg
Community College January 9 and
10.
Total Quality Management is a
custom-tailored process that
addresses certain labor management situations which do not seem
to be getting the job done,
Kolodny says.
Several components of this
management approach emphasize
a three-party communication
among management, labor, and
customers. Teamwork is stressed,
as well as developing listening
skills, showing mutual respect, and
having a more cooperative attitude.
Management and labor are
encouraged to use analytical thinking to determine both weaknesses
and strengths of the production
process.
Ms. Kolodny has created partieipatory workplaces for the past
nine years. She began her work
with the National Treasury
Employees Union, as its first
director of cooperative efforts, representing more than 100,000
employees on national steering
committees and task forces.
She has helped Fortune 100 corporations and their union partners
implement interest-based bargaining relationshiips and high

Floyd County Circuit Clerk
Frank DeRossett Jr. was recently
recognized for his outstanding contributions to the successful
statewide implementation of an
automated court record-keeping
system known as SUSTAIN. The
system records every event which
takes place from the moment a district or circuit court case is filed in
the circuit clerk's office, as well as
schedules court dates and produces court calendars for use by
judges.
Information contained in court
files is permanently stored and can
be recalled in the local circuit
clerk's office.
Chief Justice Robert F. Stephens
of t~e Kentucky Supreme Court
noted, "the automated system is
further evidence of legislative and
judicial commitment to addressing
court issues tncluding caseloads
and docket management which
makes the system more efficient
and effective.
Circuit Clerk Frank DeRossett
Jr. said SUSTAIN is an example of
the Administrative Office of the
Courts providing our oftice with the
technology necessary to provide the
public with the best servtce posstble.
A certificate of excellence was
presented to Circuit Clerk Frank
DeRossett Jr. and the deputy clerks
during a recent statewide circuit
court clerks' conference. The certificate was given "in appreciation
to Floyd Circuit Clerk's Office for
excellence in court technology."

Dear Santa.
I know it has been a while since
I have written you, but that does not
mean that I have forgotten you. I
still belteve in you and all that you
do for children across the world.
Santa, I work with children and
families every day here in Floyd
County. The people are so nice here
and the family is important to
everyone.
That is my reason for writing
you. Santa. ifl could have any thing
that I wanted for Christmas this
year, it would be to have more 4-H
volunteers.
There are so many things we
could do with the children to teach
them different skills that would stay
with them all their lives. But, we
are limited because of the number
of volunteers we have. I know that
people are busy, Santa, but the children of Floyd County need all of
our help, even if it IS a couple of
hours here and there.
For example, we need someone
to work with horticulture training
so the 4-H'ers will learn about
plants; we need someone to work
with sewing so that 4-H'ers will be
able to mend or even design their
own clothes.
Please, Santa, if you bring me
anything for Christmas this year,
bring me names, addresses, and
phone numbers of potential 4-H
volunteers.
You can send them to the Floyd
County ExtensiOn Service/4-H
Program, 670 South Lake Drive,
Prestonsburg 41653. If you need to
talk to me Santa, my office number
is 886-2668.
I hope you bnng me lots and lots
of volunteers, Santa. I'll leave you
some milk and cookies, and some
4-H Clovers under the tree.

members with a financial analysis
of the district prepared by
Gretchen Lampe, research director
for the Kentucky Education Ass<r
ciation, which drew different reactions from board members.
Reynolds read the three-page
report despite a comment from
Board Chairman Ray Brackett
asking Reynolds, "to give us some
credibility; we can all read." The
FCEA representative told Brackett
The Wickes Lumber Company facility near Dwale has temporanly shut down because of a
rockfall haznrd rendering the facility unsafe, company officials said.
The company shut down operations Thursday morning and will
remain shut down until the property owner can remedmte the hazard,
Douglas J. Woods, president of
Wickes Lumber, said.
"We have just reviewed the report of a consulting geologist
which indicates that the cliff above
the facility is very unstable, creating the possibility of a rockfall
which would pose an unacceptable
risk to the lives of our associates,
customers and suppliers who come

that he felt it was important to read
the document and Brackett told
him to continue.
Lampe, who has studied the
district's finances since 1991 for
FCEA, reviewed the districts'
1991-92, 1992-93 and 1993-94
working budgets. Lampe worked
with local teachers and state officials in 1991 to develop a working
budget in an effort to end a teachers' strike.
"In fact, in trying to review the
fate of the 1991-92 working bud·
get, I pulled my working budget
files," Lampe's said in her report.
"As you probably remember, a
working budget reflects not just
the estimates of revenues and ex·
penditures for the current year, but
it gives the actual revenues and ex·
penditures for the past two years. I
began to compare the 1991-92
working budget estimates to the

Board pinches pennies
• in effort to curb costs
by S~an Allen
Staff writer
It was more like a meeting of
the Floyd County Board of Paupers than education Wednesday, as
board members pinched pennies
most of the night and turned down
several requests that would have
called for the expenditure of funds.
One of the first orders of business Wednesday was close scrutiny
of large expenditures in the monthly financial report, something the
f board has not done in some time.
Board member Ray Wilcox
questioned several expenses,
which turned out to be mostly routine costs associated with teacher
training and professional develop·
ment.
One expense that didn't go unnoticed was a $1,000 model of the
Prestonsburg Renovation project,
which was displayed at the November board meeting.
Board member Eddie Patton
,. said the issue should have come
before the board for approval.
'This never carne to the board
before approval," Patton said.
"Why not? How did this happen
without bringing it before us?"
Operations chief Jim Osborne
explained that board chairman Ray
Brackett and representatives from
the construction manager on the
project discussed the model and
approved the expense.
Board chairman Ray Bracket:
said the model would be paid for
from the renovatiOn construction
project, but he acknowledged that
it probably should have been
brought to the board.
"I'll assume some of the responsibility because when you're
dealing with the public a model is
better to deal with than a picture,"
Brackett said. "I'll not do that in
the future."
In the next breath, Brackett
asked for a report on a $75,000
payment to Lowe's Sporting. ''I
want information by the next meeting where the expenditure to

One person has been arrested
and four more arrests are expected
in connection with the theft of
$15,000 worth of equipment early
Saturday morning.
Clyde
Bentley,
24,
of
Hueysville, is charged with theft
by unlawful taking and breaking
and entering in connection with
the theft at the home of Jeff Jones
of Martin.
Jones said Thursday that most
of the tools, heaters, a welder and
a car engine stolen from his personal garage have been recovered
by the Floyd County Sheriff's De·
partment.
Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson
said Thursday that Jones provided
him with a list of suspects Thesday
and that an investigation led to
Bentley's arrest. Thompson said
that "at least'' fo'f more arrests are
expected in the case.
''A rumor came up that a person
had bought a welder and I was told
who bought it," Thompson said.
"From the price the person paid for
it, I don't believe that person
thought it was stolen. I was informed who sold it and we arrested Clyde Bentley."
Thompson said the car motor
was recovered from a strip mine
site at Stephens Branch, but he declined to offer details about where
the other merchandise was found.
Jones said that thieves apparently sawed the lock of his garage
door and that the theft was discovered by his father, Tommy Jones.
Jones said he is in the process of

Final foursome pleads not guilty
by Su.•;an Allen
Staff Writer
Four people indicted by a special Floyd County Grand Jury last
month entered not guilty pleas
Thursday in Floyd Circuit Court
and one case was remanded to dis·
trict court.
Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson,
Harold Junior Joseph, radio station
owner Dale McKinney and Calvin
Howell appeared for arraignment
before Circuit Judge Danny P.
Caudill Thursday afternoon.
Two other persons indicted in
the grand jury probe, Raymond
Mike Jarrell, who is charged with
theft, and Astor Hunter Jr., charged
with perjury, entered not guilty
pleas earlier this month.
Judge Caudill ordered that a
willful neglect of duty charge
against Floyd County Sheriff Paul
Hunt Thompson be adjudicated in
distnct court because it is not a
felony charge.
"Since th1s is a VIOlation, I'm not
sure we have jurisdiction to pro·
ceed," Judge Caudill said.
Larry Fentress, special prosecutor for the attorney general's office,
said he had no objection to transferring the case to district court.
Thompson is charged with failing to properly account for property tax receipts from January 1990 to
the present.
Joseph and Howell are charged
with vote buying. McKinney faces
two counts of improperly accepting
campaign contributions and one
count of filing a false campaign re-
under $5,000 surety bonds and set
pre-trial conferences for February
9.
After 'Thursday's arraignments,
McKinney's attorney, C.K. Belhasen, called the grand jury's
charges "sickening'' and said it was
an act of political retaliation
against his client.
"As most people know, Dale
McKinney and Calvin Howell
were the two who basically asked
for an investigation and the charges
port.
Judge Caudill placed the three
(See Foursome, page two)

brought against them are nothing
more than political retaliation
against people who did their best to
clean up the system," Belhasen
said.
The attorney also said it was a
"disgrace" and that he hoped the
justice system would bring about
the "right outcome." He accused the
attorney general's office and the
"powers that be" in Aoyd County
of giving false information to the
special grand jury.
"They will not like the results of
The Floyd County Times
what will happen," Belhasen said.
''There will be a day of reckoning
and there must be more indictments."
Belhasen added that McKinney
was not a candidate for county
judge-executive when he accepted
money from an individual to determine if he wanted to enter the 1993
race.
The grand jury's actions send the
message that anyone who tries to
become involved in exposing
wrongdoing will be indicted,
Belhascn satd. He added that he will
continue to ask for more investigations.
"Maybe they'll indict me and
take my law license away,"
Belhascn said. "This is what is charaded as justice in election cases in
Eastern Kentucky."
Sheriff Thompson's attorney,
Phtl Damron, said his client's
charge stems from poor bookkeeping, not neglect of duty.
"We deny the neglect of duty
charge," Damron said. ''Sheriff
Thompson works 16 to 18 hours a
day. He is primarily involved in law
enforcement and crime prevention.
He hired other staff to perform the
duties relating to tax collections. He
has even hired a private CPA to give
him direction on the best way to
handle the office."
Almost
two
years
ago,
Thompson announced that there
was approximately $25,000 unaccounted for from tax receipts in his
office. At that time, he asked the
attorney general's office and the
Pennies-------------------------~~~~~~
Lowe's went to."
Since it was reported that the
school district is facing a $1 million
deficit this year, the board ordered
last month that all expenditures
over $1 ,000 be brought before them
for approval.
Because Floyd County is a
deficit district, any payments
approved by the board must also be
okayed by the state education
department.
Patton did not like a recommendation by interim superintendent Ed
Allen to escrow an additional three
percent of the district's capital outlay funds as security to the bond
holders for construction projects.
Allen explained that 80 percent
of district's construction funds were
obligated to pay debt se~ice on
previous bond issues next year, but
that the additional monies needed to
be put aside to ensure that an additional $35,000 would be available
for the Prestonsburg project.
Brackett commented that he
would "hate to see a $5.4 million
project tossed aside because we
can't come up with $22,000.
The board voted 4-1 to escrow
the funds, with Patton voting
against it.
Also, the board approved the
transfer of funds from the technology account and construction
accounts at Adams Middle School
and Duff Elementary to cover the
district's payroll expenses.
Since November 15, $850,000
have been transferred back and
forth between the general fund and
those three accounts to temporarily
solve cash flow problems.
Transfers of $350,000 from the
technology account; $300,000 from
Adams; and $200,000 from Duff
have been taken out and put back
into those accounts.
Board attorney Phil Damron said
during a break in the meeting that
the board has state approval for the
transfers because collection of 1995
property taxes has not begun.
When tax receipts start coming
in, those funds will be returned to
those accounts, Brackett said.
Board member Brent Clark was
not happy with the transfers and
said he would rather borrow the
money needed to stem the cash flow
problem.
"We ain't kiting checks are we?"
Clark asked. "I don't like it. I'd

Brackett assured Clark that it
wa-; a "tempomry loan" from those
accounts and that those accounts
would be reimbursed.
The transfer of technology
funds, though, surprised technology
director Harold Burchell, who said
he was unaware of any transfers
from that account.
In other action:
• A request from the maintenance department to purchase 16
pagers at a cost of $960 plus air
time was nixed.
Interim superintendent Ed Allen
said he would recommend the purchase because sometimes maintenance workers needed to be contacted while they were on the road.
Brackett said that he still
believed in "Ma Bell" and that all
schools had telephones in them if
the personnel needed to be reached.
• Floyd County Administration
Assoctation president Pete Grigsbv
asked the board not to rule out local
candidates in its search for a new
superintendent. Grigsby said he
supports the process being used by
the board, but he felt that "to a cer-
tain point" that Floyd County
administrators were being discriminated against in the selection
process. Grigsby also said he had
not been contacted about appoint·
ing a FCAA representative to the
district's
budget
committee.
Superintendent Allen told Grigsby
that two principals and two central
office administrators are currently
serving on the committee.
• The board voted to have surplus property at Bonanza and
Weeksbury appraised so that it can
be sold.
• The board declined to renew
the contract of board attorney Phil

Get a bigger truck?
by Scott Perry
We've all heard this one ...
Two fellows went into business together, selling watermelons.
They bought them for a dollar,
sold them for a dollar, and were
surprised that they had no profits
to share when all the melons were
sold.
Their solution to this financial
crisis?
Get a bigger truck.
At first glance, you might suspect that the Floyd County
School System has employed a
similar method of accounting,
with one notable exception.
The school system is paying
out more than it is taking in,
which means they don't just need
a bigger truck, they need a new
driver, too.
An independent researcher has
reported to the Floyd County
Education Association that her
review of the system's financial
management indicates a glaring
lack of control and accurate
reporting in the system's budgetary processes.
Letters to the editor
In one finding of particular
interest, the consultant noted that
budget estimates were just copied
from one year to the next without
regard to actual receipts and
expenditures.
That's an odd way to run any
business,• let alone a $40 million
enterprise like the local educational system.
The result of that practice is
not so odd. The board faces a $1
minion deficit and state control
of future expenditures.
In the anecdote we offered at
the beginning of this editorial, it
is important to note that no financial harm came to either of the
businesmen, despite their obvious lack of attention to the laws
of economics.
In the real story, though, there
is some pain and suffering.
Some people are going to lose
their jobs and students are going
to lose some valuable educational
programs.
Like we said, a bigger truck
won't help, either.
An ambulance might be more
appropriate. Call one, please,
~
before a hearse is required.

Exchange students
create excitement
Editor:
As the holidays are upon us,
another exciting ttme is approaching-a time when many families
across our region begin to think
about hosting a high school
exchange student for the 1996-97
school year.
We have students available from
several countries in Europe, Asia,
and South America, as well as
Australia. Files are arriving daily,
and the selection is fantastic!
Students come with their own
spending money and health insurance. Host families are expected to
provide room and board and a loving, nurturing atmosphere.
Learn about another country and
culture by sharing your home with
one of our wondctful students.
Also, American high school students may qualify to spend a school
year abroad as exchange students.
If I can be of assistance to
prospective host families or
prospective American Exchange

The Floyd County Times
Analysis
(Continued from page one)
actual expenditures.
''There :s no wrongdoing in
this practice since the working
budgets are merely reporting
fonns," the report said. "But, as a
ciuzen of Floyd County I would
certainly be upset that I could not
get accurate infom1auon about the
spending of my tax dollar. And, I
am very dismayed that this action
occurred while Floyd County
schools were under an improvement plan devised by the state."
The analysis said the same type
of procedures were used in
preparing the 1994-95 budget,
which resulted in overspending in
the superintendent's salary; assistant superintendents' salaries;
salaries for clerks and stenographers; secondary, elementary and
special
education
teachers'
salaries; salaries for secretaries
and clerical assistants; and teacher
aides' salaries in the amount of
$1,163,569 in 1992-93.
Lampe's report also noted a
$461 ,817 overestimate of grant
revenues last year and overspending in high school and elementary
school supplies and miscellaneous
accounts.
Brackett conceded that the district's finances were "problematic" during the time noted in
Lampe's report and added that
state officials were not overseeing
the finances of the district at that
time.
Reynolds said to Brackett that
during that time "the ship sank"
and that proposed cuts tQ eliminate the deficit are going to hurt
children.
"I know that," the chairman
said.
Reynolds asked that FCEA and
district budget committee members be allowed to work with the
board to revise a deficit reduction
plan and to "insist on accurate figures" related to the district's
finances.
"We are going to insist on getting accurate figures," Brackett
said. "We have to know who was
the captain of the ship and who
called the plays. We are the ones
charged with stewardship. We
can't spend all year looking (at the
budget)."
Board member Brent Clark
thanked Reynolds for the report,
saying even he had some understanding of the budget areas that
were overspent. Clark asked
Reynolds if teachers would be
willing to give back a portion of
this year's salary increase "until
we get caught up" financially.
Reynolds said he could not
speak for the whole organization,
but that personally he didn't "see
any good faith" from the board
and that until issues could be
"honestly" discussed, he didn't
foresee that happening.
"Ever since I've been here I've
not been able to get inside," Clark
said. "I'm upset. I'm tired of
someone else sitting back and
doing the cooking and we have to
eat it."
Interim superintendent Ed
Allen agreed with portions of the
report and said some of the items
noted could be accounted for in
other areas of the budget.
"Nevertheless, we ought to get
it right," Allen said.
Brackett commented that it
would be impossible to get accurate budget figures because of the
fluctuating number of teacher
aides that could be hired in a year.
''There is no way anyone can
project the number of aides,"
Brackett said.
Board
member
Phyllis
Honshell also thanked Reynolds
for the report, but she said the
board and the teachers' group
seemed to be adversaries, rather
than partners in the school system.
"What bothers me most is that
we seem to be adversaries,"
Honshell said. ''The bottom line is
that you and I and this board want
the same things. We want the best
education possible for the children
of Floyd County."
Reynolds countered, "How
many times have we heard that?
We're out for the kids of Floyd
County. It's coming back as a
repeat of history."
That comment caused board
member Eddie Patton to speak up.
"I don't think anybody on this
board is a C.P.A. and we can't
project if someone comes and
makes a recommendation on inaccurate figures. I will not, I will not
take the blame for that kintl of stupidity. I won't do it."
Honshell said the board may
not have 0 made the wisest choices
on some issues that were recommended to them, but she said the
board's intent "was good.''
The budget dtscussion ended
without any action being taken.

Much discussion is going
around about the fighting
that involved Allen Central
and Johnson Central players
last Sunday in the finals of
the
Johnson
Central
Invitational tournament. A
tt.: lot is being said of parent
involvement in the melee
and how parents should stay
in the stands.
Why doesn't our board of
education implement a
board policy banning any
Floyd County school from
participating in any school
activities on Sunday?
If the game had not been
• : played Sunday, this might
not have happened. Why
wasn't the tournament finished out Saturday night?
The semifinals were played
Saturday afternoon.
:
I got in touch with Pete
' Grigsby Jr., president of the
. Floyd County Administrator's Association, which
. includes principals and central office personnel, about
· the situation and he says
• . their organization has tried
to do something about it.
''We had such a policy
: when Ron Hager was superintendent," Grigsby said.
; "Our organization has tried
to get the board to approve
• a board policy as such, but
we were defeated by a 3-2
vote. The board was split on
. the subject.''
Grigsby agrees that such
• a policy would be a good
one.
"It takes kids out of
church. Other ministers
have contacted me about
it," Grigsby said. "If people
don't go to church, then
they can just enjoy the day
together. Kids could get
their study work done.
"It is getting worse all the
time. It's the Lord's day and
a day of rest for people," he
said.
I think not just basketfl. ball, baseball and football
should be affected, but academic meets, cheerleading
competition as well.
According to Grigsby,
the school principals, as
well as teachers, do not like
the Sunday activities.
"It's another day they
have to be away from
home," Grigsby said.
In Pike County, they have
such a policy and it includes
Wednesday nights as well. I
- know some will holler the
~ separation of church and
state. That's a cop out.
These kids are out six days
a week most of the time the
way it is and a policy that
would give them one day

the issue. It is allowing the

Tigers vs Blackcats highlight weekend schedule
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
After three years, the Prestonsburg
Blackcats and Paintsville Tigers will renew
an old rivalry that was put on hold after a
gym-clearing brawl took place at the
Paintsville gym during the '92-'93 season.
The outbreak occurred in the fourth quarter with Prestonsburg holding a seven-point
lead. The scuffle did not occur between players, but fans at the far end of the gym.
The fight between Prestonsburg and
Paintsville fans soon spilled out onto the floor
as the few policemen present tried desperate·
ly to restore some kind of order.
After a long delay, the gymnasium was
cleared of all fans allowing only the players,
coaches, timers, scorers and media to remain.
The game was completed and the Blackcats
got the victory.
Tonight, all that is history as the two teams
meet on the hardwood under different surroundings. Paintsville holds the number five
ranking in the state (preseason) and the
Prestonsburg Blackcats will be under the tutelage of new coach Jackie Pack.
Paintsville is a clear favorite to repeat as
15th Regional champions and on their home
floor are hard to handle.
Prestonsburg is 0-3 out of the gate for the
'95-'96 season. Coach Pack's ballclub was
expected to be one of the top contenders this
season in the 15th Region. But they haven't
been able to get things together or find that
right chemistry through three games.
Paintsville's lone loss came at the hands of
the Knott County Central Patriots out of the
14th Region. Prestonsburg has dropped
games to Magoffin County, who Paintsville
beat 89-79 last week, Greenup County and
Elkhorn City. The Blackcats dropped a fivepoint game to the Hornets, but fell hard to
Greeenup and Elkhorn City.
CONFERENCE MATCH UP.....
Also highlighting the weekend games will
be South Floyd visiting Allen Central. Coach
Jim Rose and his Raiders are off to a 2-1 start,
falling at home to Hazard Monday night.
They own victories over Jenkins and Shelby
Valley (this past Tuesday night).
Allen Central has been a surprise in the
first six games, owning a 4-2 mark and winners of the Johnson Central Invitational
Tournament last week. The Rebels fell in
their opening game to Paintsville before reeling off four consecutive wins. With three
starters suspended against Pike Central last
Tuesday night, the Rebels fell to the Hawks
for their second loss of the season.
T.T. Pack and company will try and keep
their momentum corning into the J.E.
Campbell Arena tonight. A win at Allen
Central would be a boost for the Raiders and
give them their best start ever. Pack has support in seniors Terrence Mullins, Bear
Stephens and junior Jason Shannon.
Junior standout Thomas Jenkms brings a
30-points-per-gamc average to the conference
battle and he is pulhng down 15 boards a
game. Sophomore guard Todd Howard has
played excellent basketball for the Rebels
through the first five games and "Big Man"
Chris Bailey has been the talk of the campus,

Prestonsburg opens
flat against Elkhorn
City, falls 69-52
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Hard drive
ELKIIOU~
The first two minutes of
Tuesday's game against Elkhorn
City, the Prestonsburg Blackcats
were ready to play basketball.
But the remaining 30 minutes of
the game they were flat and stayed
flat as the Cougars rolled 69-52 for
their third straight win. It was the
third
consecutive
loss
for
Prestonsburg.
The Blackcats looked confused
on offense as they tried to run their
motion offense against the quicker
Cougars. There was little guard
play out front for Prestonsburg as
Bret James and Wes Samons scored
six points between them.
With the lack of fire power from
the outside, Elkhorn City concentrated on the inside play of senior
Jason Bevins and sophomore Andy
Jarvis. While both scored in double
figures- Jarvis with 15 points and
Bevins 12 - it was an adventure
when the ball came to the middle.
Turnovers early and often cut
down the scoring for the Blackcats
as they were guilty of 18 ( unoffi ·
cially) turnovers in the game.
Senior forward J.P. Skeens,
along with Jarvis and Bevins, were
bright spots. Skeens used his quickness and hit some nice base line
jumpers in finishing with 13 points.
He had a three-point basket while
taking the ball to the basket at other
times.
After falling behind 3-0 at the
onset of the game, Prestonsburg
reeled off seven unanswered points
with Jarvis scoring the first five on
two rebound baskets and a free

Two treys by Jason Hawkins and
a six-foot jumper by Shawn May
gave Coach Randy McCoy's ballclub an 11-9 first-quarter lead.
Gavin Hale hit two free throws in
the quarter for Prestonsburg.
Consecutive turnovers to start
the second period saw the
Blackcats fall behind the Cougars,
17-9, as Elkhorn scored the first six
points of the period. Prestonsburg
could not find the hoop in the second quarter, getting only two field
goals- a three-pointer from Jamo
Jarrell and Samons' layup.

Prestonsburg's Gavin Hale (44) went hard to the basket against Elkhorn City Tuesday night at the

Blackcats will travel to Paintsville tonight for a renewal of a long-time rivalry with the Tigers. The series
was suspended during the '93 season because of a fight between fans. (photo by Ed Taylor)
Pike Central slips past shorthanded Allen Cenfral, 72-63
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Inexperience.
It caught up with the Allen
Central Rebels in the second half of
their game against the Hawks of
Pike Central.
Coach Johnny Martin's Rebels
had to play without three starters
and it was evident in the second half
of the game. Allen Central, who
defeated Pike Central 84-80 last
week in the Johnson Central tournament, fell to the Hawks, 72-63, but
it wasn't the same as they played in
the semtfinals.
"We dressed one senior, one
junior, three sophomores and four
freshmen," Martin said.
Suspended were starters Corey
Patton, John Moore and Chris
Bailey for an altercation at Johnson
Central in Sunday's championship
game. Each had to serve a onegame suspension.
Allen Central looked as if it
could overcome the tragedy and
played very well tn the first half,
holding a 42-33 lead going to the
locker room at the half.
But the inexperience, accordmg
to Martin, showed up in the second
half.

Eagles to the D.W. Howard

face
Junior
Newsome's Betsy Layne Bobcats.
The two teams met earlier in a preseason panorama which resulted in
a brawl.

surprise in the I 5th Region this season and make some noise. The
Golden Eagles are 5-1 on the season, losing only to Allen Central in
the finals of their own tournament
Sunday.
Betsy Layne, who has looked
good at times, 1s 1-2 on the season

Coach Newsome will rely on the
play of junior Rocky Newsome and

team and works the offensive
boards well.

BLACK TUESDAY
It was a "black Tuesday" for high school teams in the
county this past Tuesday night, except for South Floyd.
Betsy Layne went down to defeat at Phelps, short-handed ~~
Allen Central lost to Pike Central and Prestonsburg was
routed by Elkhorn City. The Raiders defeated Shelby Valley.
Is it just me or are the teams really playing as hard as they
could?. It just seems they are going through the motions on
the court. Winning doesn't seem important to them.
I don't see that intensity we were accustomed to. Coaches
don't appear to be geared for the season as well. They are not
excited about coaching. Maybe it is just me.
What a big crowd that turned out for the
Prestonsburg/Betsy Layne girls' game last Monday night. A
very good crowd showed up at the D.W. Howard
Fieldhouse.
Oh yeah, they were very excited and into the game both sides of the fieldhouse. Some asked if it was noisy
enough for me. Why ask me? The kids are the ones who had begun to wonder where the fans had gone.
Big grade school holiday tournament coming the last
week of December right after Christmas. This promises to be
a very good one. Stay tuned for more later.
TIDBITS ....

Planned Giving
Seminar
Pikeville College bas scheduled a Planned Giving Seminar
for Tue5Qay, December 19.
from J-5 p.m. in Chrisman
Auditorium Ioeate4 in the
Attriington Science--Eeaming
Center on the Pikeville College
campus.
The seminar is offered free
of charge and has been certified by the Kentucky Bar
by Christopher Hunt
The Appalachian News-Express
The jurors deliberated for six
and one-half hours. All agreed former Pike District Judge Howard
Randall Starnes was guilty, they just
couldn't agree if he was entrapped.
Several jurors interviewed said
the jury of nine women and three
men agreed Starnes was guilty on
all counts, but five jurors believed
he was led into the crimes by federal investigators.
One juror, who asked not to be
identified, said she believed Starnes
was entrapped "because (Charles
Huffman III) testified the government had targeted certain individuals and he was to approach them.
Huffman kept initiating it."
Huffman resigned as Pike dis-
trict judge earlier this year after
adf!litting
he
had
extorted
painkillers from a defendant who
had appeared in his court.
Huffman allowed the FBI to
place a camera in his chambers and
his car and to record his telephone
conversations with Starnes in
exchange for a recommendation of
leniency in his sentencing.
Juror Kim Wells said she did not
think Starnes was entrapped.
"When it was mentioned (buying
cocain~). he (Starnes) didn't say,
'No. I won't get the stuff for you."'
Wells also said since Starnes was
removed from the bench in 1984
because of a cocaine addiction, he
had no excuse for getting involved
again.
"He knew what he'd done
before. He knew the humiliation.
He knew what he'd lost," Vel Is
said.
Starnes declined to comment on
the mistrial. ''I'm very tired," he
said following the announcement
around 6:30 p.m.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark
Wohlander said he was "very disappointed" that the jury had deadlocked on the verdict.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Hood
told the jury they should not feel
badly about not having reached a
verdict, that it was not unusual.
"If you can't agree, you can't
agree," he said. Hood then thanked
the jurors and dismissed them, setting a new trial date of January 3.
Starnes, 47, stood trial for one
count of conspiracy, two counts of
cocaine distribution of painkillers
and one count of possession of
painkillers with intent to distribute.
'Ibe issue of entrapment was not
openly addressed by either side
until closing arguments, which at
least one juror thought might have
affected deliberations.
"I though it was odd that the
defense dido 't bring it up until the
end," Wells said.
In closing arguments, Wohlander
told jurors Starnes had admitted
during his testimony he had distributed cocaine and that he was not
entrapped because the government
only provided him with the opportunity. not the idea.
Wohlander also said Starnes had
destroyed his own credibility with
the statements he made on the
videotapes.
"He bragged about being a worn·
anizer. He said he still has a woman

every once in awhile. He said he
still does pills." Wohlander said.
Wohlander explained to the jury
that Huffman only asked if Starnes
could get him any cocaine, it was
Starnes who told Huffman not to try
to get the cocaine himself because it
would put his reputation at risk.
Starnes' attorney Kenneth Smith
told a different story.
'They're watching this tape...
and he's telling them how weak he
is," Smith said. ''What do they do to
this man? They keep reeling him
in."
Smith characterized the government as a steamroller, stopping at
nothing to get Starnes, even offering deals to people more guilty than
his client.

Student injured, parents not notified by school
by Kim Stacy
The Appalachian News-Express
Henry and Tammy Burgess
question the way an injury to their
son was handled Wednesday,
December 6, at Mullins Elementary
School.
The Burgesses say their fourthgrade son was tripped by another
boy shortly after lunch and although
he repeatedly told teachers and
office personnel at the school his
arm was hurting, he was sent back
to his room.
"My son went to the office twice
with his arm," Tammy said. "What
really makes me angry is that I
talked with the office three times
that day about planning a parent
conference. I talked to them twice
after lunch and not once did they
tell me my son had been hurt.
"They had our telephone number
and four other numbers to call in
case of an emergency. We d1dn 't
Jearn about it until William came
home at 3:40 p.m. And his arm was
real swollen and he could barely
move it.''
The Burgesses then took
William to the Pikeville Methodist
Hospital emergency room, where
he was treated by Dr. Deborah
Bailey.
"She said William had a big chip
took out of his elbow and he would
have to be fitted with a cast by a
bone specialist," Tammy said. "Of
course, we're angry. My son
shouldn't have had to suffer at
school. Somebody could have
called us, not to mention the fact
they talked to me after it happened.
"I remember at a meeting earlier
this year, the principal (Jackie
McFarland) said if she thought a
child was hurt bad enough. she
would call their parents or take
them to a doctor herself. I want to
know why I wasn't called."
William was also treated by Dr.
Anbu Nadar for a fracture in the
growth line of the arm.
Bruce Hopkins, director of communications for the Pike County
Board of Education, said the central
office was not aware of the situation. But in instances where students become sick or are injured,
the school principal then makes the
decision about whether to call the
student's parents.
"If the principal is out, then the
secretary is usually designated certain duties to fulfill and a teacher
appointed to take care of emergencies," he said. "A teacher is nonnally designated to take care of any
emergencies that might come up."
McFarland was not present at the
school when the incident took place
due to sickness. However, she said
she had ' designated the school's
guidance counselor to take care of
any problems.
"Before I left that morning, I
faxed infonnation to the counselor
(Lisa Bowling) for things that needed to be taken care of that day," she
said. "However, the secretary
(Susan Robinson) kept the infonna·
tion for most of the day. I later
found out Mrs. Bowling didn't
receive the infonnation.
"Basically, the secretary was
running the office and shouldn't
have been. There was no excuse for
the parents not to be notifi~d.''
McFarland said.
"If a student comes to the office
with an injury or is sick. then we
take the time to take care of that
child," she said. "Under the circumstances. the parents should have
been notified so the students could
have been taken to the doctor sooner."
Fiscal court considers property swap
by Tony Fyffe
The Paintsville Herald
The Johnson County Fiscal
Court is considering a proposed
trade involving the only countyowned building for industrial
development and privately owned
property at Tutor Key.
The proposal, in which the county would trade the fonner Excalibur
building on U.S. 23 for property
owned by Justene Pelphrey, was
scheduled to be discussed at the fiscal court's monthly meeting
Tuesday night.
But after County Attorney Scott
Preston failed to show up, JudgeExecutive Hobert Meade postponed
the meeting. Meade said Preston
was needed to discuss some legal
matters pending before the court.
One matter, Meade told the
Herald, was the proposal involving
Excalibur. Under the plan, Meade
said, the county would give Pelphrey the industrial development
building and $10,000 in exchange
for land she owns surrounding the
county garage at Tutor Key.
Initially, the county and
Pelphrey would be able to use the
other's property free of charge,
Meade said. The county would later
pay Pelphrey the $10,000 after a
deed is executed.
Some local officials have criticized the proposed move, saying
the county would be giving away its
only industrial site for property to
build a second animal shelter.
Meade acknowledged that using
the property for a dog shelter has
been discussed, but he said the shelter would only be a temporary
structure. He said he is trying to
negotiate an agreement with the
Paintsville Humane Soc1ety to take
over its shelter, which is also located at Tutor Key.
The judge said the Pelphrey
property. which is between 140-150
acres, would be used primarily to
expand the county garage. He said
the land is also large enough to
develop another industrial slle.
The Excalibur building, which
the county purchased in March
1993, is not suitable for current
industrial needs, Meade said.
"It's so limited with parking and
so on," he said. "You can't get anybody to move up there."
The county used a $98,000
Community Development Block
Grant to buy and renovate the
building from Excalibur of
Paintsville Inc. Whether the county

trade is apparently one legal issue
facing the county.
Pearl Casey, a fonner Pike
County School Board member who
lost her bid for election last month
by one vote, is asking the court to
set aside the election results and
declare her the winner.
Casey filed suit Wednesday in
Pike Circuit Court against Bobbie
Biliter, who ousted Casey and is the
wife of a fonner Board of
Education member, Carl Biliter,
who resigned earlier this year after
coming under fire by the State
Board of Education for misconduct.
Biliter had no comment when
contacted Thursday.
In the November 7 election,
Casey had 1,532 votes to Biliter's
1,533. A third candidate, Eugene
Ferrell, obtained 116.
Also named in the suit are Joe J.
Friend, Democratic elections chairman; Marie Childers, member of
the
Republican
Election
Commission; Pike County Sheriff
Charles E. "Fuzzy" Keesee; and
Lillian Pearl Elliott, Pike County
clerk.
Casey is being represented by
Paintsville attorney John David
Preston.
The suit asks that Casey be
declared the "true and lawful" winner of the election because the election results obtained by Biliter were
the result of the following:
• Voter voting in the election
who resided in a state other· than
Kentucky;
• lllegalities from purchasing
votes with money and liquor;
• Voters voted in the election
who resided outside the precinct in
which they voted;
• Legally registered and eligible
voters were refused the right to
vote;
• At least one voter was refused
the right to vote;
• At least one voter was refused
an absentee ballot for a legally registered and qualified voter;
• One individual was allowed to
assist numerous voters in voting;
• Election officers entered the
voting booth and personally assisted voters in voting in the election;
• Persons who were not authorized by statutes to be present in the
room where voting was taking
place were allowed to be present in
that room; and
• Other election irregularities.
Casey's suit contains six affidavits from individuals outlining
the irregularities that occurred,
names six individuals who voted in
precincts in which they did not live,
cites a violation by an election officer in the Freeburn Precinct who
assisted voters in voting and said an
unnamed individual, who was
working and campaigning for
Biliter, was allowed to assist about
60 individuals in voting.
A response by Biliter has not yet
been filed and no date has been set
for the hearing.

Reca Carroll, of Pond Creek, who claims firefighters went in the wrong direction when responding to a
fire she reported brought her complatnt to the E-911
board Thursday, December 7.
Carroll contends the problem occurred because her
address was changed from Octavia Hollow to
Pinsonfork Road, causing firefighters from the Upper
Pond Creek Fire Department to go to Pinsonfork,
which is in the opposite direction.
E-911 board chairman Randy Courtney told Carroll
the firefighters responded within 16 minutes and no
firefighter from the Upper Pond Creek Fire Department
got lost.
The tape of all the calls the 911 dispatcher received
about Carroll's trailer fire shows the dispatcher
received six calls from family and neighbors and that it
took about 16 minutes for the first fire truck to arrive at
the scene from the ttme it was dispatched.
Carroll was told by board members she could petition the Pike County Fiscal Court to change the road
name. - The Appalachian News-Express

�News of the Weird
by Chuck Shepherd
In 1992, a federal court JUry in Montgomery, Ala.,
found that the fuel retailers in Dothan, Ala., had con~pired to fix prices but decided that the plaintiffs had
been damaged only to the tune of $1 (tripled in
antitrust law, to $3) Nonetheless, finishing up the case
in November 1995, federal Judge Myron ·n10mpson
ordered the losers to pay the 19 victonous lawyers'
• fees totaling $2,035,658.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION
-ll1c Louisiana legislature thts year closed a 10year-old loophole in its drinking law. From 1985 until
June 1995, the legal age for buying or drinking liquor
had been 21, but it was illegal to sell liquor only to
those under 18.
- According to a recent JOurnal article, Lehigh
Valley Legal Services - a Pennsylvania agency funded by the federal Legal Services Corp. - earlier this
year filed a lawsuit on behalf of an indigent
l6-year-old boy to help !urn seck custody of the child
he had fathered by rape. Legal Services helped the boy
challenge the constitutionality of Pennsylvania law,
which denies rapists the chance of custody.
- Lawrence Lawton, 55, filed a $1 million lawsuit
earlier this year against Broward County (Fort
Lauderdale). Fla., for its negligence in keeping him in
jail. He was locked up on a petty theft charge and a
9-year-old drunk driving warrant in August 1991 ;, it
only dawned on the authorities in April 1993 that
Lawton had not yet been sent before a judge - a total
of 607 days' incarceratiOn, or four times his likely sentence. (Eleven days niter his release, he v. as arrested
on a trespassing charge )
- For the second time this year, a Board of
Veterans Appeals attorney was convicted of destroying
medical records and other documents involved in current cases and passing along files for needless review,
apparently just because she couldn't keep up with the
cascload. Jill L. Rygwalski was sentenced to 15
months in prison despite t'tcr attempts to blame her procrastination on her supervisor, her husband and her
domineering father.
- Saymg he had "no choice" in the matter.
Secretary of the Intenor Bruce Babbitt in September
signed over the title to more than 100 acres of federal
land in Idaho to a Danish firm for $275, though the
mining rights to the land arc worth around $1 billion.
Babbitt said he was reqUired to make the sale under the
Mining Act of J872, which is still on the books. In
1994, under the same law, Babbitt signed over land
containing about $10 billion in gold to a Canadian
company for about $10,000.
- In May, the Army issued the Bronze Star for
"meritorious achievement" to seven soldiers of the 3rd
Armored Cavalry Regiment firing (mistakenly) on
stranded U.S. troops during the Persian Gulf war. The
Army had originally awarded three of the men medals
"with valor,'' but revoked that distinction after criticism by the General Accountmg Office. The
medal-winning soldiers killed one American and
wounded another hcforc realizing their mistake.
- A November New York Times story describeu
the i 2-hour course required in Texas for applicants to
get a license to carry a concealed weapon. The program developer said he based much of the curriculum
on the 1970s pop-psychology books "Games People
Play" and ''I'm O.K.- You're O.K.," m which a person is encouraged to understand his inner child. Said
one instructor, while suggesting to students that they
not react violently to a stranger who cusses them out in
a traffic confrontation: "[Y]ou might say, 'Sir, we are
both in the same unfortunate situation here. Let's see
what we can do to solve this conflict together."'
- In August, police in Bari, Italy, arrested a man
and charged him with theft. He was turned tn by hts
own mother, who tdentified him as a purse-snatcher
only after he inadvertently swiped her handbag during
a downtown heist.

lettuce near Fickle, Ind., in November, and 18 tons

Cash takes off with debut
album, 'Shoes and Cheese'
From the foothills of Eastern Kentucky, the six
member group Cash brings together a unique blend
of vocal and instrumental hannony. The release of
their debut album "Shoes and Cheese" in the fall of
1995 has been accepted extremely well by radio and
country music fans in an area where country music
is a way of life. It has been .said that the small geographic area of Eastern Kentucky has produced
more top-notch country music entertainers than anywhere else in the world for its size. From the early
days of Hawkshaw Hawkins and Bill Monroe to
today's mainstream artists Loretta Lynn, Ricky
Scaggs, Keith Whitley, Dwight Yoakam, Patti
Loveless, The Judds and Billy Ray Cyrus to name
just a few.
Their music has been described as pure umnhibited Appalachian, Rockin' Country, Boogie Blues
straight from the heart. "Shoes and Cheese" tells the
story of a dying American tradition of small town
Mom and Pop dry goods stores and local loafing
places where everybody keeps up with current gossip in town. Another popular cut is a real life honky
tonk tune about the nightlife of hard-workini country boys who are addicted to party in • all night and
kickin' up their heels, definitely Country Junkies.
To show the versatility of the band, they have
included some heart-wrenching ballads, such as
"Seven Years of Sundays,'' a classic story of a man
who can't let go of a past relationship but finally
realizes that time heals all wounds. "Daddy's
Comin' Home" depicts a hardworking father's
struggle between his devotion to career and family.
With musical influences ranging from pop to
country, Cash is definitely on the edge of what's
happe~ing in country music today. Consisting of
veteran singers/songwriters and musicians, the
members of Cash are no strangers to the music
business. Whether it be performing at popular dance
spots throughout the Eastern United States or touring overseas for the Department of Defense USO
shows, these guys are true pros and have earned the
right to be described by using the old cliche' phrase,
"They've sure paid a few dues."
That's why it was no surpnse that as soon as the

Poperri
by Scott Perry
We've always been amazed by science
and the nature of things in thts wide
world, but some of the things scientists
choose to study absolutely knock us for a
loop.
The latest among the monumental discoveries announced by the research world
involves a finding that most babies look
more like their dads than their moms.
Now there's some info to change the
world as we know it.
More likely, though, there are some scientists out there with too much spare time
on their hands.
The report we saw didn't say if any taxpayer money was used to complete the
research on who favors whom in family
circles, but it sounds just like a government-sponsored deal because it has no
practical purpose.
Our government is well-known for
financing useless programs and projects,
that's why we still have a helium reserve
program.
Got to make sure that no blimps run out
of gas, now don't we?
Back to this resemblance thing, though,
you have to wonder just what type of
research was conducted to arrive at these
startlmg conclusions.
They looked at photos.
They compared snapshots of 12 boys
and twelve g1rls, concludmg that in the
majority of those pictures, the kids
showed a significant resemblance to their
fathers at the age of one.
The older they got, though, the less the
looked like anybody other than themselves.
Now that we have this important information, how do we put it to good use?
Well, the next time somebody asks you
whose boy you are or whose girl you are,
just tell them that according to the latest
scientific discovery, you are your father's
child, as far as looks go, but your mom
has a half interest by virtue of natural law.
You might have been able to give that
answer prior to the release of these findings, but it's good to know that science
now officially supports it.
We live in a remarkable age.

AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT
Thus far, there was only one bachelor president.
James Buchanan. Since he served his country from
1857 to 1861, we have no real experience with what it
means to have a single man in the White House. This
wann and whimsical film takes on just that issu-1.
Michael Douglas is President Shepherd, a widower,
who finds himself swept off his feet by the btg-tJme
environmental lobbyist, Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette
Bening). Soon, the two are dating and all the nation is
abuzz, but none more so than the president's political
enemies. (A funny running joke is the florist who keeps
hanging up on the president every tunc he calls to order
flowers for his lady love. The florist thinks the president
is nothing but a prankster.)
Shepherd is obviously a liberal (reflecting the liberal ideology of the film's director, Rob Reiner.) Echoing
reality, the president is tackling such 1ssues as gun control and the environment, battling Congress and preparing for a re-election campaign. In fact, I'm told that the
Clinton White House cooperated extensively in the
research for this movie, giving us a quasi young, hip
approach to the prcstdcncy.
The front-runner Republican candidate ts Senator
Robert Rumson (portrayed by Richard Dreyfuss, ironically, who is an arch-liberal!). When the president
begins to go public with his romance, Rumson decides
to make political hay out of It and question his adversary's ethics and moral fiber due to his "affatr." The
senator sets about trying to paint the relationship in as
tawdry a light as possible.
Both Douglas and Bening are perfect in their roles.
Douglas has a stature and air about him which can only
be called presidential and stately, for lack of more original words. Bcning is intelligent in a sexy way, without
being overtly vampish and seductive. It is clear that her
character is a woman of the '90s, with a great deal of
integrity and courage of her convictions.
Roundtng out the cast arc Martin Sheen, Samantha
Mathis, Anna Deaverc Smith and David Paymer. A
standout for me was Michael J. Fox, who portrayed a
very suspiciously Stephanopolous-lik~ adviser to the
president. His boyish enthusiasm is very much akin to
that of George Stcphanopolous, the Boy Wonder of the
real administration.Look for this film to garner quite a
few Oscar nominations.

NATASHA'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
It's a good time for you to seek that
financial backing you need for a
special project. You also need to do
some last-minute shopping since
Christmas will be upon you before
you know it.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Spend some time this week wrapping up last-minute holiday preparations. Make sure you check your
pantry and refrigerator and have all
the necessary vittles to entertain the
holiday guests you've invited over.
G EMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Before you think about all those
holiday parties, there is work to
attend to. Co-workers and family
alike are more than willing to come
to your aid, so take advantage of
this. Try to keep children's excitement to a manageable level.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
You're going over everyone's wish
list and making sure you're filling it
to the best of your ability. However,
remember that not everything good
has to be expensive. A gift of your
time, such as an offer to babysit, is
more of a gift of the heart.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Someone surprises you this week
with an early holiday gift. Don't
feel bad if you haven't yet put this
person on your list. You still have
time before the big day and will be
able to come up with something
reciprocal.
VIRGO
(August
23
to
September 22) It's not even
Christmas yet, but your holiday
spirit has gone into super high gear.
There isn't a nook or cranny in your
house that doesn't sport some holiday frippery. Take time, though, to
relax and enjoy good times with
family.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Thanks to your early
planning, you are able now to just
tend to daily tasks without worrymg
about last-minute shopping, baking
or cooking. When the big day finally arrives, you can feel free to sit
back and enjoy.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You're filled with
the sights and sounds of the holiday
season.' However, don't get so
caught up with the commercial
aspect that you ignore the true
meaning of this religious holiday.
Make sure family members participate as well.
SAGITIARIUS (November 22
to December ~ 1) The beginning of
the week finds you in a less than
festive mood. Perhaps this is
because you're missing those people who live far away and whom
you won't see for the holiday.
Cheer yourself up and get on the
phone for the assurance you need.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Stop being such a
Scrooge and start enjoying this
magical time of the year. Children
in particular are looking to you so
don't disappoint them. A very special loved one can get you out of
your doldrums.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) This is your favorite
time of year - filled with parties,
friends, family and lots of socializing. You flit from one party to
another with a seemingly endless
supply of energy. However, get
enough rest.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) The shopping is done, the goodies are baked, the gifts are wrapped.
There's nothing left to do but sit by
the tree and wait for Santa. Take
some special time to read a holiday
story to the kiddies.

new strategies for prompting student writing. She shared components of the district's Young
Authors' Program, now in its tenth
year, whtch rewards student writings and gives public recognition to
students for their successes. She
spoke of a collaboration effort with
the local newspaper to print students' writings. She mentioned a
new effort to launch a student edttorial board which would work directly with the newspaper. Along with
!these efforts to share writing, she
:spoke of EXPO 95 which was a
district showcase where students'
writings from every school in
Aoyd County were viewed by parents and the public, December 4-5 ..
Another component of her sharing
was the ongoing development of a
network of teachers from across the
district. These teachers are receiving specialized training to serve
within their schools as writing
resource persons.
Paula Collins, communications
and writing resource teacher at
Adams Middle School, chose
Imaginative Writing as the focus of
her presentation. She shared strategies she used to help her students to
generate ideas such as overhead
"picture" transparencies. To complete conferencing and revision, she
used "snapshot" and "thoughtshot"
terminology to help students develop specific details. The overall goal
is to help students to get the finished product they want. Once they
have a finished product, every student has an opportunity to share
his/her writing. She emphasized
teaching writing, grammar, and
needed skills through integration
rather than isolation. In her class~
room, portfolio pieces and Young
Authors books come from classroom instruction aqd are not separated into single-event projects. Her
display table of products ' showed
much evidence of student success.
Gayle Justice, media specialist at
· Stumbo Elementary, shared ideas of
how she had incorporated reading
and writing through her library
teaching. She displayed a table of
books which could be used to
prompt writing in content classes
such as math, social studies, science, and other subjects. She shared
some
student
writings
and
explained how she had gained these
through special projects initiated
within the media center of the
school. One project included making books using brown grocery
store bags which had been bound
with yam or heavy string so that
each page was a brown bag.
Students told their own story of
"When I Was Young in the
Mountains," using this format. On
one occasion, Mrs. Justice had
prompted students to write and to
illustrate their stories on brown grocery store bags. These bags were
returned to the local store and used
to fill with groceries, allowing the
community to take home stories to
enjoy.
Their audience responded with
interest and with specific inquiries.
In the audience were: superintendents, principals, instructional
supervisors, counselors, distinguished educators, and teachers.
Over 700 attended this conference.
Johnny Appleseed at Melvin
Melinda HoJ:klns's primary class at Melvin Elementary concluded their unit on apples by performing a play
about the life Johnny Appleseed. The children's enthusiasm was evident by their nmlles, hard work in
learning their lines, and willingness in finding the costumes and props needed. The play was performed
for the other primary classes.
Pumpkin day
Wava Turner's sixth grade class, at the James A. Duff Elementary School, enjoyed Halloween by learning
about pumpkins across the curriculum. They studied about the history of pumpkins In social studies and
discussed the origin of the pumpkin. They held a Jack-0-Lantern carving contest for the "Most Unique
Face.'' In math and science, they measured the circumference and diameter of seven pumpkins. The students formed hypotheses about the radius, mass, number of lines, whether it would sink or float, and the
number of seeds In each pumpkin. Then they collected the data from each of the seven pumpkins and
graphed their results using bar lines. The students analyzed the poem "To A Pumpkin At Pumpkin Time"
and wrote a poem about pumpkins In language arts. Also, they had to pretend that pumpkins were becom- •
ing extinct and write a letter to a farmer persuading him to grow pumpkins. The students' final product was
a portfolio entry. The students used the Information they gathered during science and math to write about
their project using the six steps of the Scientific Method.

Taste of Germany
The faces of Jonathon Martin, (from left) Jessica Goble, Nikki Patton, and Jamie Gunnell show what they
think about the tasty morsels of German food they consumed.
James A. Duff Elementary K.E. T.
distance learning: German I class
We won
Second place . winners In Duff
Elementary's kick-off for athletIcs held recently were the primary students who donned the garb
of the 50s.
The students at James A. Duff
Elementary German I Class celebrated their own customized ver·
sion of the German holiday
Oktoberfest. The German holiday ts
a traditional festival which is held
each year in Munich, Germany. The
students recognized the celebration
by bringing in different kinds of
food which came from Germany,
such as sauerkraut, bratwurst,
cheeses, layered cakes and German
potato salad. Many of the famous
dishes were created hundreds of
years ago.
To prevent the food from spotling, the Germans used vinegar
which pickled the food and created
a new taste. Sauerkraut, perhaps the
best-known German food was created to preserve cabbage. Many
foods which we think of as
American came to us from
Germany.
Most commonly known of these
foods are frankfurters (sausages
which originated in Frankfurt) and
hamburgers (first made in America
by immigrants from Hamburg.
~
Germany).
Students who parttctpated were:
Charles Bentley, Natalie Cooley,
April Sexton, Heath Scott, Natasha
Ramey, Virginia Shepherd, Nikki
Patton, Jon Martin, Jessica Goble,
Jamt Gunnell, Kevin Shepherd,
Amanda Couch, Lisa Anderson,
Sheena Ratliff, Ashley Handshoe,
Jessica
Sparkman,
Joshua
Shepherd, Chad Shepherd, Wesley
Vanderpool, and Jason Patton, The
factlitator for the class was Stanton
Watson, who was assisted by Teresa tit
Owens, Aide.

�The Floyd County Times Christmas Greetings 1995
S 2 - Friday, December 15, 1995
Whe~e did that Christmas custom come from?
The next time you trim your tree,
enjoy the sound of carolers or set
out cookies and milk for Santa
Claus, you might like to consider
the origins of these delightful traditions.
The tree, it's said, stems from a
walk in the woods Martin Luther
took one night near Christmastime.
He was so intrigued by the beauty
of the starlight shining through a
pine tree's branches, he brought the
tree home and decorated it with
candles.
As for the carolers, they may
well come all the way from Olde
England, where, in pagan days, a
song and dance were done to celebrate the shortest days of winter.
That jolly old elf, Santa Claus,
it's said, was a Turkish bishop,
Saint Nikolaus, who would drop
gifts of gold down the chimneys of
the poor. One Christmas Eve, when
a poor girl hung her stocking up to
dry by the fire, the story goes, the
gold landed in the stocking and a
tradition was born.
Many families are starting a new
tradition these days by getting tasty
and attractive cookies for Santa, for
themselves and to give as gifts,
right in the local supermarket and
other local stores. Holiday Cookies
from Archway come in a festive
package and they're made with the
very finest ingredients money can
buy. You can choose from Party
Treats, Pfeffernusse, Nutty Nougat,
the Holiday Pak of four delicious
types, and many other varieties.
What's more, this year Archway
offers one variety of Bells & Stars
that is fat free. That makes them one
holiday gift that can help everyone
have a happy and healthy new year.
Gifts from the heart
can show others the
true meaning of the
Christmas season
Exchanging Christmas gifts has
become a highlight of the holidays.
From making out a wish list to
shopping for the perfect gift for
that special someone, .there is a
feeling of anticipation throughout
the season.
Buying gifts is a fine way for
people to show others how much
they care; the time and thought put
into the selection expresses love
and appreciation. However, giving
a present that they made themselves can be even more meaningful.
The handmade gift is always
eagerly received, and it doesn't
have to be a complicated project.
Baking c'ookies and packing them
in a holiday tin or making preserves and putting them in a decorative jar is a wonderful gift that
brings the flavors of Christmas to
life.
For those who aren't talented in
the kitchen, there are many other
gifts to make. A hand-knit sweater
or scarf is always well-received, as
is a needlepoint pillow, an embroidered wall hanging or a handmade
sachet. While these projects may
seem difficult, people can use simple patterns that are easy to create.
Even if the gift isn't homemade,
the wrapping paper and card can
be. Nothing will bring a smile to
someone's face faster than receiving a gift wrapped with a personal
touch. One way to be creative is to
wrap a gift in a gift. For example, if
giving presents for the kitchen, .
people can wrap them in fabric
napkins or decorative place mats.
They also can decorate plain sheets
of paper in their own way.
A personalized card is the best
way to show people how much
they are loved. The givers can say
exactly what they want to say in
their own words. Whether using
crayons and markers, pictures cut
out from magazines, or handmade
bows, they can add a sense of
warmth to their holiday greetings.
Another
way
to
make
Christmas-time even more special
is for people to give of themselves.
They can help older relatives decorate their home, work in a soup
kitchen for an afternoon, organize a •
toy drive for needy children, or
deliver gifts to people in hospitals
and nursing homes. This will give
them a sense of joy that they may
not have thought possible.
The true spirit of the season is
happiness and goodwill - sharing
a sense of love with others. Giving
a gift from the heart this Christmas
will bring a special sense of joy to
those receiving the presents and to
those giving them.
PEACE
TO
ALL
Wishing you a season
Here's hoping your Christmas
will be a solid gold celebration!

Innovative gifts make Christmas shopping fun
As the holidays approach, so
does the pressure to find great gifts
without spending a fortune in
money, time and energy. In our mad
rush to "wrap it up," we lose sight
of what the holidays are really
about-sharing special time with
friends and family. That's why a
holiday shopping strategy is not
only
smart,
it's
essential.
Professional shoppers know that
putting an innovative twist on traditional gift ideas is the key to success. With that in mind, accessories
can be your best bargain for the
buck:
• Anyone who doesn't consider a
beautiful pen an essential accessory
hasn't seen the art deco-inspired,
wide-bodied Townsend pen by A.T.
Cross. Available in seven fashion
finishes and styles such as fountain
pen, rolling ball and ballpoint, the
Townsend is available in fine stores
nationwide.
• Seiko Corporation of America
has introduced JAZ, a line of
affordably priced fash1on watches.
Because he's always in fashion, an
entire sector of the JAZ collection
showcases over a dozen interpretations of Mickey Mouse's famous
face.
• The contemporary styling of
Capezio Bags' Mystique-collection
makes it a must for women-on-thego, whether traveling cross-town or
cross-country. Available in black,
cocoa, hunter and wine, the soft,
supple shape is easy to handle yet
comfortably carries wallet, makeup-even a portable phone.
• Perry Ellis Handbags and
Accessories also offer smart, modern bags such as the Belmont
Collection, featuring handbags and
totes trimmed with fine leather.
Both handbag collections can be
found at fine stores nationwide.
• With "Casual Friday" causing
fashion havoc, Hanes Casual
Hosiery brings socks and tights
from the back yard to the boardroom by offering them in up-to-theminute textures and colors such as
argyle, jewel tones and nubby knits.
• Can't resist the allure of lingerie? Josie Natori offers undies
that feel as luxurious as they look.
The hottest trend-garter stockings,
cami stockings and body stockings-are sleek, sexy and a fresh
addition to any woman's wardrobe.
• For a friend or loved one who
wants tomorrow's heirlooms today,
a gift by jewelry designer Foree
Hunsicker is the perfect call. Foree
is known for mixing antique luggage tags with pearls and semi-pre-
cious stones, then fashioning them
into exquisite earrings, bracelets
and necklaces. For stores nearest
you, call 1-800-722-1987.
• Accessories for the body can
offer a friend peace of mind after a
hectic day. Brighten up a bubble
bath with a handful of red and green
Bath Confetti by H20 Plus, or try
an H20 Plus Christmas satchel
complete with Tahiti Twist shower
and bath gel. Casaba Melon
Botanical Bar and colorful Santa
Sponge.
• Why not light up her life-literally-with a scented candle for
the boudoir or dining room?
Sculpted in the shape of a rose,
Perfumer's Workshop's floating
candles come in six scents including gardenia, vanilla and tea rose.
• Marithe and Francois Girbaud
have long been lauded for their
innovative design philosophy and
"Made for Life" pan-cultural clothing. Overalls are a timeless fashion
hit. Available for both adults and
children, they've practical fashion
for the whole family.
• If your loved one has a fetish
for footwear, step up to Jungle
Boots. Constructed of durable,
hand-rubbed canvas and leather,
they are rugged, water-resistant and
perfectly in tune with the popular
"mountameering" look.
• Fairisle sweaters by Laura
Ashley come in a melange of soft
colors and can be worn over leggings, skirts or on their own with
woolly tights.
• With the trend toward "nesting," accessories for the home are
more welcome than ever. The
Bombay Company offers well-
priced, antiqued-inspired gifts such
as jewelry boxes, mahogany-finished tables and a wide array of
wall decor. All items are easy to
carry, flat-packed for convenience
and immediately available. To order
by mail, call 1-800-829-7789.
• Wines are the traditional way
of sharing the holiday spirit. Now
family-owned Sequoia Grove
Vineyard, in Napa Valley, has the
holiday gift that gives twice. For
every cork returned from Sequoia
Grove Chardonnay or Cabernet
Sauvignon, the winery will donate a
dollar to restore the trails of the
Sequoia-Kings Canyon National
Park, home of the world's largest
trees, the Sequoia.
For more information, call 1800-628-2921.
Seeking a unique gift? How about a gift of life?
~
by Richard J. Davey, M.D.
Chief Medical Officer
American Red Cross
If you're like I am, and you
already feel exhausted and financially drained at the thought of fulfilling your holiday gift list, then
consider giving a present that will
cost you nothing, yet may be the
greatest gift you will ever give-the
gift of life.
Every ten seconds, someone in
America needs blood. That's some
8,000 people a day and approxi11 mately four million people each
year. To maintain an adequate
national blood supply, 40,000
Americans must donate blood every
day. Unfortunately, we as a nation
do not always meet that goal, at
times causing blood supplies to fall
to critically low levels. In fact, in
the past five years, blood donations
*
have fallen in the United States by
ten percent.
If that trend continues, America
may very well be faced with a
national blood supply crisis at some
point in the not so distant future.
Paradoxically, the season of giving-the holiday months of
December and January-is historically a period when blood donations are down in many communities, sometimes requiring the
American Red Cross to issue
appeals for blood donations.
Today, fewer than one in 10 eligible Americans gives blood. And
of those few who do give, many of
them forget how important it is to
give regularly. Blood donors are
giving less frequently these days.
As a nation, we give little thought
to the miracle of modern medicine
unless someone dear to us needs
that miracle. As simple as it is, a
blood donation is one of those miracles that will save a life-perhaps
someone you know.
Often, the people who receive
blood transfusions are experiencing
a life-or-death medical emergency.
Thousands of other Americans also
require blood transfusions regularly
to survive, such as people suffering
from sickle cell anemia, cancer,
leukemia, hemophilia, and heart
disease-to name just a few.
Perhaps, it's easy to think that
our neighbor or co-worker will
donate, but the truth is, the responsibility begins with each of us.
The holiday season is the perfect
time to pause and take stock of what
each of us has accomplished and
what we hope to achieve in the new
year. We'll promise to become more
involved in our community. Many
of us make lists of humanitarian
organizations we'll support.
Consider making a promise to
give blood. With this gift you will
know you are helping others. And
more importantly, you will be giving the gift of life to someone who
needs you now.
Giving blood is truly a great act
of kindness, and a unique gift that
will be remembered for this season
and forever.
The American Red Cross is the
largest collector, processor, tester
and distributor of blood in the
United States, supplying approximately 3,000 hospitals. It does so
through the generous donations of
some 22,000 people daily. Anyone
interested in donating blood can
schedule an appointment by calling
1-800-GIVE-LIFE,
America's
BloodLine.
Animal shelter pets are a gift of love
Although the holiday season
should be filled with joy and frivolitiy, it is generally not an ideal time
to consider introducing a new pet
into the family. At any time of year,
however, serious thought should be
given to adding a new pet to your
household.
• Don't give pets as gifts.
CompaniQn animals should be considered a lovable but lifetime commitment. However, many pets
given as presents are frequently
" surrendered to shelters. It's best to
wait until after the hectic holiday
season before adopting a pet. If
your family is constdering adopting
in the near future, books and videos
about animal care make wonderful
presents and can help adults and
children prepare in advance for the
responsibility of pet ownership.
• Don't adopt exotics. While
some people believe that animals
such as hedgehogs, snakes and hermit crabs, make wonderful pets,
nothing could be further from the
• • truth. Wild animals can never be
truly domesticated and are best left
in the wild where they can survive
and flourish.
• Talk to your children about pet
care and responsibility. One of the
greatest gifts you can give your
children is respect and compassion
for other creatures.
A growing number of homes in
need of a lovable pet are finding
pets in need of a home at shelters
and humane societiP.s. Each year
millions of healthy and lovable
dogs, cats. puppies and kittens are
, surrendered to these shelters. The
shelters can also provide information on affordable vaccines,
spay/neuter services and behavior
training.
Experts at The Humane Society
of the United States suggest that if
you already own a companion animal, make the holiday's a special
time to reestablish your bond.
A gift of love
While millions of companion
animals are being euthanized due to
lack of homes, one of the greatest
gifts you can give your pet is to
have him or her spayed or neutered.
Many local animal shelters now
provide low-cost spay/neuter programs. Some offer spay/neuter gift
certificates which you can purchase
for pet-owning friends. When you
are ready to adopt a pet, visit a local
shelter with your family and speak
with staff members about choosing
a pet that best suits your lifestyle.

The Floyd County Times Christmas Greetings 1995
Beepers help bridge the generation gap
cent of the work force, says
American Demographic magazine.
The magazine also observes that
today's seniors want to live independently of their children. By
2010. an estimated 13 million
Americans aged 65 and older will
be living alone.
'This is a time when families
really take stock," says Paul Turner,
Page-Mart's vice president of customer service. "When parents are
alone, they're perceived as more
vulnerable and the need to stay in
touch becomes more real."
Boomers, wise in the ways of
juggling jobs and child care, are
discovering eldercare is inherently
more difficult. Experts note caring
for an aging parent is sharply different from caring for children in that
it's far more unpredictable. That
unpredictability may be a natural
part of aging, but it's also a major
contributor to stress for caregivers.
Unfortunately, boomers are learn-
Baby boomers nrc caught in a
three-way squeeze: hectic careers,
rearing children and canng for
aging parents. But technology can
relieve some of the stress, especially in the case of aging parents.
Almost 50 percent of the pagers
sold during this holiday season will
be purchased as gift items, and
many of those gifts will be used to
link generations. So says PageMart
Inc., one of the nation's fastestgrowing providers of wireless communications.
Surveys by the company's
Consumer User Group indicate
beepers are fast becoming the communication tool of choice for
boomers looking for easy, affordable ways to stay in touch with their
aging parents.
By the end of the decade, virtually all parents of baby boomers
will be elderly. Prov1ding some
degree of care for them will be an
everyday concern for about 30 per-
ing that the emergencies and crises
that accompany aging are more
likely to increase than decrease. To
complicate matters. an aging parent
often lives 100 or more miles away.
Turner says carrying a beeper is
one way boomers alleviate the
stress of caring for aging parents.
"Beepers are rapidly becoming an
integral part of the complex
lifestyle support system people are
piecing together," he says.
Beepers offer caregivers freedom of movement and freedom
from worry, because wireless
search-and-find technology can
find them anywhere, anytime. And
aging parents like being able to easily reach their busy children.
Features such as personal 800
voice-mail numbers let older folks
use pagers to leave long-distance
messages free of charge, an added
benefit to those on fixed incomes.
When aging parents are confined
to nursing homes, administr~tors
welcome pagers as a means of
quickly contacting responsible parties in an emergency. Hospice
workers are also using pagers to
ensure special personnel-spiritual
advisers, social workers and hospice family counselors-are available to dying patients and grieving
families.
Pagers are low-cost, easy-to-use
technology that provides immediate
accessibility. Boomers scouting gift
ideas for friends and family will
find beepers arc welcome and practical stocking stuffcrs. Pagers are
available for as little as $59 and
local numeric paging begins at
$6.95 a month.
Popular text message pagers
such as the PageMart Memo
Express retail for about $150. Local
text messaging services range from
$12 to $25 per month. Nationwide
coverage is also available.

Planning ahead helps keep the peace
when going honte for the holidays
A happy family sitting around
the hearth reading heart-warming
cards. That's the picture most of us
have when we think of going home
for the holidays-but that's not the
way it is with most families, says
Radford University psychology
professor Jeffery Chase. "Usually
there is warmth and caring," he
says, "but there are also disagreements over everylhlng from politics
to how to raise children."
When we go home, it's easy to
fall into the old roles of compliant
child, disagreeable child, critical
parent or whatever roles we adopted in the past, says Chase. "And
we're exquisitely sensitive to old
irritations. We don't have to hear
something very loudly for it to drive
us crazy, because it's the same stuff
that's always driven us crazy."
RU counselor education professor Paula Stanley agrees that when
adult children go home for the holidays it can be easy to fall into old
roles and resume old conflicts.
"Don't idealize your holiday
expectations," she says. "Realize

that's it's easy to revert to behaving
like a child and fall mto the same
kinds of cycles that have always
existed."
Your parents may never approve
of your friends · or the way you
dress, but there's no need to take
their criticism personally, she says.
"As adults, we need to see our parents as people and try to maintain a
good relationship even if that
means some self-restraint. Also,
instead of focusing on your differences, try to find some common
ground."
Chase suggests planning shared
activities like shopping or going to
a museum or play. "Activities give
you something neutral to talk about
and something shared," he says,
"which is especially important if
you've lost touch and aren't really
sure what to say to each other."
Shared holiday time will be less
strained if you make an effort to
stay in touch throughout the year,
he says. "Then it won't seem so
artificial."
"Sometimes during the holidays

Real or plastic? Many consumers will be asking themselves
that question this holiday season.
In this age of environmental
awareness it's appropriate to know
a favorite family holiday tradition
of choosing a real Christmas tree
over an artificial tree is still the
environmentally sound choice.
A benefit to the atmosphere, real
Christmas trees absorb carbon dioxide and other gases, emitting fresh
oxygen. This helps prevent the
earth-warming greenhouse effect.

One acre of Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirement
for 18 people: With approximately
one million acres producing
Christmas trees in the United
States, that translates into oxygen
for 18 million people every day. For
every real Christmas tree harvested,

we get pulled in many different
directions and different demands
are put on us," says Chase, especially if many relatives are
involved. "We need to decide who
we're going to see and how much
time we'll spend with them. For
couples, it can help to negotiate this
beforehand and let family members
know your plans ahead of time.
That .way, at least you've laid the
groundwork."
If you run into conflict, don't
shut down or get defensive, suggests Chase. "Instead, plan for success," he says. "Adapt and figure
out how you can make things
work."
"Sometimes it helps to think of
yourself as a guest instead of a person who is going home," he says.
"Then, you'll be more willing to be
polite and less willing to contradict
or be argumentative."
Another pointer from the
experts: Don't stay too long. There
will be less stress if you leave
before you wear out your welcome.

Real Christmas trees are an allAmerican, recyclable resource.
Artificial trees, most of which are
manufactured in Korea, Taiwan or
Hong Kong, consist of plastics and
metals that aren't biodegradable.
When disposed of, the artificial
trees will never deteriorate. Their
effects on our environment are evident and will remain for countless
generations.
Christmas tree farms stabilize
soil, protect water supplies and provide refuge for wildlife while creating scenic green belts. Often,
Christmas trees arc grown on soil
that could not support other crops.
Real trees arc easily reused and
recycled, artificial trees cannot be
recycled. Here are some post holiday ideas for real Christmas trees:
• Christmas trees are biodegradable-the branches may be
removed and used as mulch for gardens, parks or in animal stalls. The
trunk can be chopped for the same
purpose. Mulching programs have
become popular with comn\\lnities
throughout the nation. Check with
your local department of public
works for information.
• Large quantities of Christmas
trees make effective sand and soil
erosion barriers, especially at
beaches. Sunk into private fish
ponds, trees make excellent refuge
and feeding area for fish.
• Christmas trees also make
excellent bird feeders, adding color
and excitement to the winter garden. You may attract birds with
orange slices, suet and bird seed.
They will come for the food and
stay for the shelter in the branches.
• In some areas of the country,
living trees are gaining in popularity. Living trees have their roots
intact and can be re-planted outside
following the holiday. NOTE:
Living trees have a better survival
rate in mild climates.
For some consumers, buying a
real Christmas tree is as easy as
picking up the phone. Tree buyers
can place their orders in advance
for delivery of a fresh tree. Buyers
can place their orders in advance of
the holiday season for deliver of a
fresh tree, usually in early
December. Mail order trees make
easy festive gifts for friends, family
and business ac;sociates.

Cellular phones can save tiine, Inoney at holidays
You've been hearing it for
years- some new product will
"save you time and make your life
easier." Yet it seems as if, with
every new technological advance,
life gets busier and more complex.
But one product has found widespread acceptance because it does
deliver on its promises of convenience: the cellullar telephone.
According to Denms Strigl.
fl# president of Bell Atlantic NYNEX
Mobile, the profile of the "typical"
cellular phone user is changing dramatically. "It was predominantly
business users who. in the early
years of wireless communications,
saw the advantages of this service
and were willing to invest the
money.
"Now, with the wide array of
affordable price plans available, a
whole new wireless customer is
emerging ...
Every day. Strigl says, approximately 28,000 Americans arc joining the ranks of cellular phone
users, and with each of them comes
a whole new range of convenient
ways to use the phone -especially
at holiday time.
• Avoid holiday traffic. Cellular
phone owners don't have to wait for
their favorite radio station to issue a
report at the top of the hour-they
can usc their phone to get up-to-theminute traffic reports anytime.
Most wireless carriers provide a
free traffic information line to customers.
• Last-minute shopping. With a
cellular phone, shoppers can confirm store hours, call for d1rections,
check a credit card or bank account
• Make holidays safer. Holiday
revelers who may have enjoyed too
much "holiday spirit" can call a cab
or a friend to provide a safe nde
home.
balance, or find out if a store has
the 11em you're looking for in stock.
And they can avoid the long lines at
pay phones-which always seem to
be at the other end of the mall-and
find out the size or favorite color of
everyone on their gift list m minutes
• Deal with delays. Whether
traveling by car, train or airplane,
travel delays during the holidays
are inevitable. Cellular phone-carrying travelers can let friends and
family know they'll be late, request
roadside assistance or reschedule a
flight with their travel agent.
• Help the baby sitter. With a cellular phone, parents can be accessible almost anywhere they travel
dunng the holidays, all evening
long.

Giving the gift of memories
""
•
Lookmg for the perfect gift this
holiday season? Why not give
something that shares happy memories and adds style to any room?
Give an attractive photo album,
photo frame or even a decorative
photo storage box and you've created the perfect gift that can be
enjoyed year after year. Following
are some gift-giving ideas that will
add festivity to the season and create memories to last a lifetime.
Fill an album, frame or
Showbox photo viewer with photos
of special moments shared with
friends or family and you have a
thoughtful present with your own
personal touch-a great idea for
holiday time or any time. Burnes of
Boston, for example, offers a wide
variety of albums and frames to suit
every style. For yourself or for
friends, they personalize the decor
of any home year-round.
Another great gift idea is a
matching album and photo storage
box. Consider Burnes' designs,
which include simple patterns to
elaborate details; they are ideal for
anyone who likes to save their photos in a special place. No need for
wrapping paper-photo and video
storage boxes are a clever way to
present small gifts. After the holidays, these boxes can store tree
decorations or special holiday
greeting cards throughout the year.
Need photos of friends and relatives? Create them on the spot at
holiday parties to make your gift
part of the celebration. Bring a single-use camera and a gift such as a
pocket album or Burnes Showbox.
Take photos of the whole gang,
then present your gift to be filled
with the photos you've just taken.
Be sure to order double prints so
there are plenty to go around!
Make a tree-trimming occasion
magical for children by getting
them involved. Have them decorate
the tree with mini frame ornaments,
such as the Gold Ornaments from
Burnes of Boston, which they can
personalize with favorite photos.
They also make special gifts for
grandparents, teachers and friends.
Whichever albums or frames
appeal to your taste, giving the gift
of memories through photographs
will ensure that the holiday season
is cherished for many years to
come. For more information about

..
Of t:he day of t:he bic celebration•
Every holiday season I seem to
get stuck for gift ideas for friends
and family. It's so hard to find just
the right gift-that's also in the
right price range. Here are some of
the gift-giving rules that have
served me well, followed by some
actual gift suggestions. You'll
notice that all the gifts have my picture. (blush. blush)
GIIT-GIVING RULES
1. Decide ahead of time the
price range for each gift.
2. Jot down any known preferences, such as type of gift, loves
silk, always wears size XL.
3. Also list any negatives, such
as can't wear wool, hates purple,
never wears a hat.
4. Don't forget about the option
of giving "group gifts." Instead of
getting a small gift for everyone,
buy a big gift that everybody can
enjoy. This could be an office group
gift, a family group gift or a bowling group gift.
5. Make a list of the most likely
stores for purchasing the gifts.
Shop ahead of time, so if your gift
choice is unavailable, the store can
order it, or you can make another
selection and go on to the next gift
purcllase.
6. Don't get stuck if you can't
find the right gift for someone. Go
on to the remaining people on your
list. Chances are you'll come up
with a gift idea when you least
expect it.
7. Keep all gift receipts in an
envelope for safekeeping. If, for
some reason, the gift has to be
returned, you won' t waste time
searching for the receipt. (It also
helps to write the name of the person you gave the gift on the back of
the receipt.)

Kentucky's toy inspectors take buying toys seriously
'Tis the season to play it safe
with toys bought for all good little
girls and boys. And Santa's helpers
get extra help this time of year from
Kentucky product safety inspectors.
Toy inspectors from the state's
Department for Health Services ar~
making the rounds to approximately 75 Kentucky stores. They're
checking their lists more than twice
for toys that pose a choking hazard,
sharp edges or points and of poor
construction.
They also are making sure none
of the 50 toys ard children's products on the federal Consumer
Product Safety Commission's recall
list are in stores. In addition,
inspectors have their own list that
do not meet state standards.
Terry Wescott, manager of the
department's consumer product
safety branch, said they have not
found any of the items on the federallist in stores.
"We're targeting discount stores
this year," Wescott said. "We are
finding some of the toys that don't
meet state standards. The inspectors
will continue checking stores
through mid-December. If consumers find questionahle toys they
should contact us."
Consumer complaints can lead
to product recalls.
Wescott urged adu!ts buying
toys to become safety inspectors
when they shop. He offered the following toy buying tips.
• Shoppers should look for sharp
edges and loose parts themselves,

ommendations are not always accurate.
• Pay attention to age guidelines
listed on toys but also consider the
individual child's maturity level.
For example, not all three-year-olds
are ready for all toys marked for
that age group. Also, toys for older
children should be kept out of the
hands of younger brothers and sisters.
• Check instructions to make
sure they are clear to you, and when
necessary, to the child.
• Make sure soft toys, such as
dolls and stuffed animals are well
constructed and buttons and eyes
are firmly attached.
• Don't let the price tag and
appearance be the only guiding factors. Look for toys that are durable.
'The holiday season is the most
intense toy buying time of the year,
but parents and other adults who
buy toys should be thinking about
safety any time they purchase
something for a child. Parents also
should periodically check their children's playthings to look for items
that should be repaired or discarded. Many injuries occur when toys
are misused or when broken items
become hazardous," Wescott said.

If you are looking for giit ideas
for your children this holiday season, consider opening a mutual
fund geared to kids.
Stein Roe, a Chicago-based
investment management finn, manages the Young Investor Fund, a
mutual fund designed to help provide a competitive long-term
investment return and to help educate young people about investing.
The fund's portfolio invests in
stocks that kids identify with, like
Disney, Nike, McDonald's and
Coca Cola.
The fund's annual and semiannual reports are written in kidfriendly language. Investors also
receive "Dollar Digest," Stein
Roe's Young Investor Quarterly
newsletter that features interesting
educational topics to help children
learn about money.
"We have received terrific feedback from the kids and their parents
for providing the fund and the educational
information,"
said
Timothy Armour, president of Stein
Roe Mutual Funds.
$100 GETS YOU STARTED
Accounts may be opened in the
Young Investor Fund through
January 31, 1996, with an initial
investment of $100, provided the
investor agrees to subsequent
investments of at least $50 monthly. The regular minimums for all
accounts, which are higher, go back
in effect after January 31, 1996.
If you are worried about saving
for your child's future college
costs, the Stein Roe young Investor
Fund is a great way to get your chit-
During the holiday season, when
more bicycles are purchased as
gifts than any other time of the
year, it's important to know how to
choose the right bike for your child.
Today's kids want rugged tires,
wild colors and cool components.
However, parents want their child's
bike to be durable·, safe and reasonably priced.
Huffy Bicycles, the largest manufacturer of children's bikes in the
U.S., and maker of a hot bike for
kids, the "Electro-Light," provides
the following buying tips:
• Select the appropriate bicycle
size for your child. Three- to fiveyear-olds usually require a 16-inch,
while six- to nine-year-olds generally need a 20-inch. The best way
to check the appropriate size is to
have your child straddle the bicycle. With feet flat on the ground,
there should be a two or three inch
clearance from the bicycle frame to
the child's groin area.

Stumped on what toys to buy the kids?
~
"'
With nil the hot new dolls, toys,
electronic gadgets and sports para·
phernalia out there, you would
think that buying gifts for the kids
would well be child's play. But if
you don't have kids of your own, or
if they're grown up and past the toy
stage, how do you know what to
buy?
Well, you could get ideas by
watching the commercials on
Saturday morning television or you
could hit the malls and hope for the
best. However, the most hassle-free
way to shop for the kids could be
Spiegel's holiday catalog, with
more than 60 pages of the hottest
toys of the season.
Lincoln Rodman, Spiegel's toy
buyer, advises shoppers to check
the age range listed on each toy to
make sure it's appropriate for the
child. Says Rodman, there's nothing
more frustrating to a child than a
toy that's too juvenile or too difficult. And age appropriateness is
especially important when buying
one of the new electronic learning
toys.
So what to get? Here's an easy
guide to the most sought-after toys
this year. Any one of them will turn
you into an honorary Santa.
• The Ultimate Rocking Horse. A
perfect gift from the grandparents is
a classic hardwood rocking horse
personalized with your favorite
cowpoke's name on the saddle.lhis
is an heirloom-in-the-making.
• Play Tools. Boys will be boys
and some of the hottest gifts this
season will be aimed at young fans
of the popular TV show, "Home
Improvement." One of the most
sought-after gifts is the Playskool®
Cool Tools1 M Power Workbench,
which sounds like a real workshop,
and includes a wrench, circular saw,
drill and tool holder.
The Cool Tools1 M Collector set
contains ten real metal tools, and a
Cool TooJsTM Tool Box holds them
all.
·
• Barbie. As the ultimate babe
doll turns 35, she's hotter than ever,
and Spiegel's exclusive Theatre
Elegance1 M Barbie® looks ultrachic in a long black velvet gown
and crystal accessories. Also on the
list is a remote-control Dance 'N
Twirl™ Barbie® and a three-foot
tall My Size Briden.f Barbie® for
the ultimate little girl fantasy.
• Power Rangers™. No doubt
they already have the action figures,
but you can keep the Morph Magic
going with a whole range of Power
Rangers™ products such as the
Mighty Morphin Power RangersTM
Watch, the Megazoid Electric
Toothbrush
and the
Power
Rangers™ slumber bags, tote bags,
bean bag chairs, walkie talkies and

playhouse.
RangersTM item, be sure to shop
early...they have the power to sell
out quicker than any other toys
around.
• Brio® Train Sets. These almost
indestructible beechwood trams
from Sweden have been delighting
boys and girls for decades. The
basic set contains 19 pieces and
there are lots of accessories to give
as add-on gifts for special occasions
to come.
• Arts ancl Crafts. Boys and girls
alike enjoy expressing their creativity through arts and crafts. Easels,
paints, markers and crayons are
always welcome. Or how about a
deluxe sand art ktt? For the electronic crowd, the Master Video
Painter™ transforms your TV into a
drawing and doodling pad. It paints
in 14 colors using 20 pre-programmed patterns, six drawing
tools with sound effects, and 12
editing tools, including zoom and
animatton techniques.
• Stx-In One Championship
Game Table. Here's a gift that gives
the most bang for your holiday
buck. It's brand new and perfect for
the whole family. The convertible
game table features pool, table tennis, foosball, table-top hockey and
two kinds of basketball. Built-in
storage compartment holds all
accessories.
Steel-TecTM Construction
System. Kids can build all kinds of
cool and crazy vehicles with real
nuts and screws, all with moving
parts and battery- or friction-powered motors.
• Incredible Edibles® and
Creepy Crawlers®. Because kids
love anything gross. these two
items are surefire hits. The
Incredible Edibles® GrossenesTM
Maker lets them serve up some pip·
ing hot Hamboogers with Macaroni
and Sneeze on the side. The Creepy
Crawlers® Workshop makes it easy
to bug everyone with wiggly, jiggly
insects they bake up themselves.
This top toys list should make it
easy for you to know what to buy
all the young people on your list.
And to make things easier, shop by

The Christmas pet: what to expect when the holiday is over
•
..
Thinking about buying/adopting
a new furry friend for your children
this Christmas? You might want to
do some research to avoid making a
rash decision.
"Many parents, caught up in the
holiday spirit, buy a pet without considering whether or not their family
is ready for one," says Dr. Dan
Carey, a veterinarian with The Jams
Company. "Truth is, a new puppy or
kitten is like a baby; they require a
tremendous amount of attention,
time and money, but the rewards of
having one are immeasurable."
Is your family ready for a pet?
Here are some things worth considering.
• Do you have time, time and
more time? All new pets command
a lot of attention, but this is especially true of puppies. Until a puppy
is housebroken and comfortable
with his surroundings, he will need
constant supervision. A comfortnblc crate is effective while everyone is at work or school (providing
that someone is on hand to walk
and feed the dog at certain times
during the day). Remember, puppies thrive on human companion·
ship and will not hesitate to let you
know this, at any time of the day or
night.
It will be your job, not your children's, to properly housebreak your
pet. This takes time and an abun·
dance of patience. Good training
from the start means Jess headaches
for you, fewer messes on your carpet and a happier Fido or Fluffy.
• Veterinarian visits are vital to
your pet's good health. It is important to remember that pets need
yearly veterinary check-ups, even if
nothing is wrong. Preventative
medicine is easier-and often less
expensive-than curing an illness
or correcting a problem. At the
yearly check-up, make sure your
pet receives its proper vaccinations.
Also, unless you plan to breed
your dog or cat professionally,
spaying/neutering is essential.
Along with helping to alleviate the
growing number of unwanted pets
in this country, spaying can prevent
some forms of cancer in pets. The
operation is safe; your veterinarian
can advise you of the proper age for
your pet to be spayed/neutered.
• The right match. Here's the sit-
uation ...you live in an apartment in
the city. Your kids have been begging Santa to stuff their stocking
with a Siberian Husky this
Christmas. Against your better
judgment you get them the Husky
pup. Really, a puppy so little and
cute can't get that big. Right?
Many people purchase puppies
based on pressure from their kids or
on the puppy's appearance. They do
not take into account how big that
puppy will get, that the breed may
not adapt to young children, or is
high-spirited and needs room to
run. It is best to research the breed
before you purchase the puppy to
save yourself the heartache of owning an animal that's not a good
match for your family's lifestyle.
• Some (pet) food for thought.
You spend plenty of time picking
out the best foods for your family,
and chances are you' II do the same
for your pet. Here are some tips:
Growing and active pets need a
high-protein, htgh-fat diet; what's
good for you is not necessarily
good for your pet. Read pet food
labels carefully to be sure your dog
or cat food is high in animal based
protein (chicken by-products, lamb,
egg)-it should appear at the top of
the list.
To prevent stomach upsets. find
a well-balanced, dry pet food and
stick with it, using a nutritious,
canned food for variety. Foods with
better quality ingredients are more
readily absorbed and utilized,
which means pets need Jess food
and produce less waste.
Owning a pet can be a wonderful, rewarding experience-if you
do your homework. Also, giving
your children a pet not only gives
them a best friend, but teaches them
the basics of responsibility and reliability.

(NAPS)-The holidays arc a
time many families find they love
their computer all the more. Those
who have a quality color printer can
come up with all sorts of creative
and colorful new ways to make the
season bright.
Here arc few you may care to
consider:
• Make your own holiday cards,
using family photos, children's
drawings, even your favorite art
reprint, plus the computer's own
graphics to customize Christmas
cards that say Happy Holidays just
your way.
• Deck the halls, the walls, the
tree and the table with decorations
you've designed yourselves on the
computer and printed out in
Christmas colors.
• The computer can also print
out attractive labels and gift tags
that feature your special flair.
They're particularly fine for putting
on those cookies you baked or that
scarf you knitted.
• To wrap it all up, make your
own wrapping paper. Show your
creativity both in the gifts you give
and in the package they come in.
Don't have a color printer?
Consider getting yourself and your
family the gift of an Epson color
ink jet from an electronics or computer store. If you do before

ness cards for almost any occasion.
It comes with hundreds of predesigned layouts, graphics and

Christmastime has passed, many
people go back to the way they
were - stressed, frustrated and too
busy to take time out for the pleasures of life.
This year, they should let the

The holiday spirit can last all year
A lovely family dinner with traditional holiday foods ...
A Christmas party with 50 close
friends ...
An exciting morning of tearing
open colorfully wrapped gifts with
the children ...
A romantic evening by the fire
with a loved one ...
A walk through a snowy wonderland while sipping warm apple
• cider .. .
Christmastime means many
things to many people, but one
thing remains constant ...... the holidays are a time of"goodwill toward
men."
After a year of hustle and bustle
and dealing with the stress of dayto-day living, Christmas is when
people can relax and enjoy the happiness that infuses the season.
"Choosing a real Christmas tree
can be fun for the whole family,"
says Bob Scott, President of the
National
Christmas
Tree
Association. He suggests a few
simple steps to follow when selecting a tree.
• Do a freshness test. Gently
grasp a branch between your thumb
and forefinger and pull it toward
you. Very few needles should come
off in your hand if the tree is fresh.
Take a look at the ground around
the tree. You should not sec an
excessive amount of green needles
on the ground. Some loss of interior brown needles is nonnal and will
occur over the lifetime of the tree.
• Once you've chosen your tree,
keep it in a sheltered, unheated area
such as a porch or garage to protect
it from the wind and sun until you
are ready to decorate it.
• Before you set up your tree,
make a fresh, str"ight cut across the
base of the trunk (about a half inch
up from the original cut) and place
the tree in a tree stand that holds
two or more quarts of water.
"Caring for your real tree is
easy. The most important thing to
remember is that real trees need
water daily," says Scott. "Never let
your tree stand go dry."
A seal of dried sap will form
over the cut stump in four to six
hours if the water drops below the
base of the tree, preventing the tree
from absorbing water later when
the tree stand is refilled. If a seal
does fonn, another fresh cut will
need to be made.
• In addition, keep your tree
away from heat and draft sources
like fireplaces, radiators and television sets. Test your light cords and
connections before hanging them
on the tree to make sure they're in
good working order. You don't
want to use cords with cracked
insulation or broken or empty sockets. Also be sure to unplug the
lights before you go to bed or leave
the house.

The gift of discovery on CD
With the holidays right around
the corner, scores of moms and dads
are searching stores for the hottest
new technology. While many electronic gifts may thrill and entertain

Great holiday gifts, stress-free
In order to make holiday shopping quick and stress-free, more
and more consumers are avoiding
crowded stores by choosing convenient and distinctive gifts available
by phone or mail.
In fact, according to Simmons
Market Research Bureau, 54 percent of the U.S. adult population
ordered merchandise or services by
phone or mail in 1994.
As a result, more companies are
offering a wide variety of unique
products that can be enjoyed all
year long.
For instance, a gift membership
to Beer Across America®, the original mail order microbrewery beerof-the-month club, includes two
six-packs, one from each of two different microbreweries, sent each
month. Selections include a wide
variety of specialty lagers and ales,
with names like Crazy Ed's Ale and
Outrageous Bock, from more than
150 microbreweries across the
country.
A membership to Coffee
Quest™, a premier gourmet coffeeof-the-month club, provides coffee
lovers with two pounds of regular
or decaffeinated world class coffee
(whole bean or ground) each month
from select coffee growing nations
around the world.
And for wine lovers, a membership
to
International Wine
Cellars™, a premier international
wine-of-the-month
program,
includes monthly shipments of two
bottles of wine (red, white or a
combination) from boutique wineries around the world.
Gift memberships are available
for two to 12 months and include a
newsletter with product highlights
and suggested food recipes to complement each month's selections. In
addition, gift recipients receive a
special certificate to alert them that
their gift is on the way.

A Colorado company was chosen Friday as the best bid for E-911

After several attempts to amend
a liquor license ordinance, Prestonsburg City Council voted 4-1
Monday evening in favor of the
final amendments.
The amended ordinance expands the definition of a bona fide
restaurant based on seating capacity.
Under the current ordinance a
restaurant would need a seating capacity of at least 100 and derive 50
percent of its gross sales from food.
The amended ordinance would
allow a restaurant with a larger
seating capacity of over 350 to
comply by deriving only 25 percent of its gross sales from food.
The ordinance is being amended
from an earlier city ordinance in an
attempt to help Center Stage owner
Clyde Woods meet stnte Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) board
regulations to obtain a liquor by the
drink license.
Prestonsburg city attorney Paul
Burchett said the state regulation
that addresses the percentage of
food sales and the minimum seating capacity does not relate to the
state statute that enables a fourth
class city to permit liquor by the
drink.
Kentucky Revised Statutes state
that a bona fide restaurant is open
to the public and seats a minimum
of 100 persons. Kentucky Administrative Regulations, regulations
that implement the language of the
statutes, state that a bona fide
restaurant must receive 50 percent
or more of its gross annual alcoholic beverage and food income

Parsons told Salisbury that the
police depaitment takes up about
half of the city's total budget.

look at the lowest cost, but the
lowest and best bid. I think 911 Inc.
out of Colorado, which will work
locally with Eastern Telephone of
Pikeville, is it. I have a difficult
time finding anything they don't
do."
Prestonsburg's representative,
Doug Wells, asked Meyer why 911
Inc.'s bid was so much lower than
the other responders.
"I think a little bit of gouging is
going on here," Meyer said. "We
have to recognize that Aoyd County has been highly visible in the last
few years regarding the 911 issue.
Everybody knows there is a big pot
of money in our 911 account. What
911 Inc. is offering is as good or
better than what the others are offering at twice the cost."
Meyer also noted that eight
years ago the Colorado company
concentrated on rural communities
for the type of equipment needed
and the instalJation of 911 systems.
Darrell Maynard, who represented Eastern Telephone at Friday's meeting, told the board that
some of the proposals offered an
"overkill" on equipment.
Other bidders were: CMI,
Inc./Highlands Communications,
$137,050; Emergi-Tech, $122,622;
InterACT, $225,571: and Comdial,
$66,295.
Meyer noted that Comdial did
not offer pric.:e quotes on all of the
equipment listed in the request for
proposals.
The board will recommend that
the fiscal court purchase the equipment from 911 Inc.
Board members tabled discussions on recorders for the county's
E-911 system until further evaluation of the proposals.
Also Friday, the board agreed to
advertise for the position of a dispatcher supervisor. No salary for
that position was discussed.
The supervisory position was
brought up in discussions concerning recommendations for the number of dispatchers that would be
needed to man a 911 system.
Meyer recommended that the
six full-time and two part-time dispatchers that are working for Prestonsburg's police and fire departments and the Aoyd County Sheriff's Office be transferred over to
the 911 system.
Magistrate Gerald DeRossett,
who is the fiscal court's representa·
tive on the board, said he felt those
dtspatching jobs should be posted.
Judge-Executive Ben Hale
pointed out to DeRossett that the
city and the sheriff's office have
Health department officials took
the next step toward the construction of a new building December 5
when they approved the first drawing of the facility.
Randy Burchett, a Prestonsburg
architect, presented the drawing to
the board at its quarterly meeting.
Burchett estimatw the total cost
of construction - the building and
a proposed site - at $3,363,447.
An ideal site would include 4.12
acres.
The proposed new building is
projected to have about 48,000
square feet, about 40,000 more
than the current facility. The plans
for the facility include three floors,
with 20,553 square feet on the first
floor, 13,875 square feet on the second floor and 13,875 on the third
floor, for a total square footage of
48,303.
If approved, the clinic portion of
the department - including examining rooms, two x-ray labs, and
the reception area - will be on the
first floor. Administration for the
department will be housed on the
second floor. Home health will be
on the third floor.
The lot will include 217 parking
spaces - 80 for the public, 120 for
employees and 17 for security.
"We had been working with him
(Burchett) for several months and
he presented and went over the preliminary design," Carol Holbrook,
health department administrator,
said. "It was not to seek their
(members of the health boord) ap-proval, but to show them what
we've been working on."
The next step is financing the
construction.
Holbrook said the health board
hasn't secured funding to build a
new building. "We're still trying to
find out what is out there and there
are a lot of questions that we still
don't know the answers to," she
said.
But she said board members
were "relatively pleased whh the
first rendering."
A special meeting of the health
board will be held January 9.

Parents die in wreck
at Branhams Creek
by Alisa Goodwill
Staff Writer
A Pike County couple died in a
one vehicle accident Thursday
evening near Branhams Creek, but
three children in the vehicle survived.
Connie and Richard Porter, of
Boldman, died Thursday when the
1991 Chevrolet Cavalier they were

Connie Porter, 31, was driving

near Branhams Creek when she
crossed over a slick spot and lost
control of the vehicle.
The vehicle ran off the edge of

Pioneer Festival committee
lays foundation for next year
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
The Jenny Wiley Pioneer
Festival committee got down to
business Monday night and began
structuring a foundation for next
year's festival.
The committee met for more
than two hours at Prestonsburg City
Hall to form an organizational plan
for next year's festival by lumping
events into various subcommittees.
The festival's plan of action
assigns subcommittee members the
responsibility for organizing · and
establishing guidelines for the various events. The Pioneer Festival
committee, though, will retain the
final approval for the subcommittee
plans.
Subcommittees include safety
and security; arts and crafts;
music/entertainment; food booths;
media and promotions; heritage;
education; and special events.
During a discussion of the music
events for the festival, Prestonsburg
Tourism Director Fred James and
committee member Norm Marcum
suggested that the gospel sing be a
two or three-day event. Local entertainers could perform at various
sites in the city during the festival,
Marcum explained.
Members agreed that various
musical entertainment should be
available to festival attendees and
suggested
that
performances
include country music, folk and
bluegrass.
Correction
In the December 8 edition of
The Times a story related to an
assault case incorrectly reported
that Steven Todd Harris was
charged with assault. Harris testified in a preliminary hearing that he
was assaulted by Randy Bentley.
Bentley is charged with second
degree assault.
But that's about what Holbrook
estimated when the board started
working on a new building a little
more than a year ago.
"We are still on track. We've
done everything just the way we're
supposed to to get dollars from the
funding committee," Holbrook
said. "As far as I am aware, we are
right on track for the new build-
ing."
She said the health department
is entering the money hunt at just
the right time. "The cycle is just
getting ready to start anew," she
said. "We are right on target to get
money, we just don't know how
much we can get."
The, ideal would be to get the
entire project financed by grant
money, but Holbrook said that is
just a dream. "We just have no idea
how much we'll be able to get."
Part of the funding is expected
to come from the sale of the old
building. It has been assessed at
about $340,000.
About 125 patients are served at
the health department each day and
more than 80,000 services are rendered each year. The staff numbers
82.
No location has been selected
for the new building.

"There are certain guidelines

"We realize that a larger facility

A new day dawns
by Scott Perry
It's official.
Paul
Patton,
Eastern
Kentucky's pride and joy, is
Governor of Kentucky and the
Commonwealth could be setting
out on a new course through
uncharted waters.
Patton himself has signalled his
intent to captain a new ship of
state, a model that could serve as
a prototype for fleets yet to come.
As his key advisors, the governor has named a cast of
unknowns, whose resumes are
missing that one standard of
administrations past.
There is little, if any, political
experience among the chosen cabinet secretaries, with only our own
Ann Latta boasting any governmental background.
Why, there is even-gasp!-a
number of Republicans in the circle of advisors.
What is this man Patton up to?
It is altogether possible, even
probable, that our new governor
has his mind set on altering the
course of Kentucky history.
He's already done that, as far as
Eastern Kentucky is concerned,
simply by getting himself elected.
Patton's cabinet selections suggest, though, that the new governor will approach his term with
the intent of substituting managerial acumen in place of the traditional political skills such positions generally demand.
There is good reason to
applaud that approach.
Kentucky will soon be handed
a new deal by Washington, where
the federal government is preparing to dole out more responsibilities to the states for development
and management of social programs.
Kentucky will have the opportunity then to create its own system for addressing the needs of
the needy and the planning for
that eventuality must be steered
by capable hands.
All Kentuckians should be
enthusiastic about the prospects
Patton's team brings to state government.
And, Eastern Kentuckians are
justifiably proud that one of their
own is leading the way into a new
era.

Hear we were singled out recently for
special holiday recognition by a merry
band of revelers at Combs Airport and
just want to say how much we appreciate the sentiment, no matter how insincere it might have been.
Now that we have a governor who is
likely to put job creation in Eastern
Kentucky above the narrow interests of
a handful of part-time fliers, maybe
we'll get the chance soon to return the
salutations in like fashion.
After all, 'tis better to give than
receive ...
Hadn't given much thought lately to
Combs Airport, but now that we've
been dragged back into the fray, might
as well do a little reminiscing.
Seem to recall that a couple of years
ago we were warned that any effort to
transform Combs Airport into an indus-

trial site would be frowned upon by
American Standard, whose officials
hinted rather pointedly that jobs might
be lost at the local plant if the airport
was phased out.
Two years later, the airport is still
open but American Standard is downsizing, anyway.
Hmm.
Perhaps if we had spent that time
preparing and marketing the airport for
industrial development, all those folks
losing their jobs now might have had
an opportunity to find new ones.
Instead, they'll just have to join the
holding pattern with everyone else who
is seeking to land a job.
Sure is getting crowded up there.
Okay, okay. Enough of the sarcasm.
It's the Christmas season. Time for
cheer and goodwill toward men.
Editor:
After working for over a year to
get Christmas on the way at the
Town Branch Church, we had a
major disaster. The city had just
increased the water pressure causing pipes to burst. We had just
received 450 new little girl wool
coats and 32 cases of new clothing,
shoes and several cases of new toys,
not including all the perishable food
items, that were destroyed in the
event. After the discovery of the
major flooded basement to the
church, I started calling people to
help save Christmas for many
needy children and families in
Floyd, Pike and Johnson counties.
First, I called Kay Webb at the jail,
then I called Jan and Damon
Chaffins, Steve and Lori Musick,
Selena Jarrell, Jeff Barrett, the
Prestonsburg Job Corps, and to my
surprise, all of the above came to
our rescue. Thanks to the combined
efforts of all the above people plus
my husband, Tom Nelson, and our
friend Eddie Williams, we wilt be
ready for our Christmas distribution
as scheduled. Also, thanks to Jeff
Fleming for helping us to feed
everyone involved in the cleanup.
I would however like to recognize the Job Corps boys individually. Thanks, Sherman Highsmith,
Henry Stiller, Ricky Matthews,
Billy Shields, Gary Stewart,
Carlton Gary, Greg Ramos, Londell
Turner, Ronnie Rogers and instructor Roy Picklesimer. We would like
to say thanks to them with special
recognition. They worked all day
and worked very hard. These young
people do not get enough recognition for all the mighty works they
accomplish for our community. I
called to ask for their help and they
were there to our rescue immediately. We were so pleased to have them
with us and are very much in hope
they wilt come back to visit with us
often. Again, thanks to you all for a
wonderful job.
We will have 38 cases of new
Christmas outfits arriving and will
still have Christmas as planned on
December 16--program starting at
one o'clock and distribution thereafter until 5 p.m. All outfits, nightwear and shoes are for children
sizes 4-7 (low income). Gifts for all
children. Everyone welcome.

HUD-ONE SPECIAL
RELATIONSHIP
by F. Lynn Luallen
On this the 30th anniversary of
the creation of the U.S. Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development, it is worth remarking
on HUD's special impact in
Kentucky. I doubt if any state has
undergone more change than
Kentucky as a result of HUD 's presence. HUD, through its loan guaranty programs, tax incentives and
program funds has, during its three
decades, helped create a higher
quality of life for thousands of
Kentuckians.
Think about the Kentucky we
knew in 1965 when President
Johnson established this new feder-·
al agency. The eyes of the nation
focused on Kentucky as Michael
Harrington's book, The Other
America, revealed deplorable housing conditions in our Appalachia.
Images of hillside shacks and malnourished children were flashed
around the globe revealing a chink
in the armor of the American way of
life. Kentucky had the unenviable
reputation as a backward place
without the will or ability to solve
our problems. The housing problems appeared intractable-beyond
the scope and ability of local or
state governments to correct.
Kentucky became one battlefront in the War on Poverty. While
never funded at levels adequate to
meet the identified nee9s, HUD
funds did flow and more importantly, attitudes changed about governments' ability to address tough
problems. HUD empowered locales
by offering tools that any community could access. HUD was the
agency of possibilities. Standards

Besides, Santa Claus is watching
and we don't want to mess up our
chances of scoring some goodies by
being naughty instead of nice.
So we're not going to say one single
word about not getting invited to the
inauguration of our new governor, even
though we were the very first editorial
writer ~ to endorse him for the
state's top spot.
Well, that was way back in 1987, and
he was running for Lt. Guv at the time.
But hey, let's not get so technical.
Oh, just forget it. We didn't want to go
to his dumb old inauguration, anyway.
And it's not like we didn't have our
own important business to attend to
Tuesday, right here in Eastern
Kentucky.
Somebody had to stick around to
keep an eye on the place.
Governor Brereton Jones issued a
'"
bunch of pardons as his last official act
Monday, including several to women
who were as much the victims of
crimes as they were the perpetrators of
them.
Most had responded violently to
abuses they suffered at the hands of
spouses and, because both society
and the law frown on that approach,
they were jailed for their offenses.
Since these are stories that can be
repeated almost anywhere at anytime,
networks that provide help and shelter ..
to battered women are growing and the
issue of violence that begets violence
is beginning to get the notice it
deserves.
Someday, perhaps, we'll evolve into
a race more capable of controlling our
emotions and behaviors.
Until then, we must concentrate on
supporting and protecting the victims •
of violence well before they are forced
to resort to violence themselves.

Federal progra01 01ay pour funds
into area wastewater treatntent
The city of Wayland may be one
of many ruml areas that could benefit from a federal program that provides funding for wastewater treatment facilities in poor, rural areas
throughout the United States.
The program, fully funded at
$50 million for the 1996 fiscal year,
will allow the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to provide
wastewater and sewage collection
grants to small, impoverished communities that are not served by a
wastewater system.
Under the program, the EPA
could provide up to l 00 percent of a
project's funding. State, local, or
other federal funding sources may
also be used to help pay for the project.
Anne Chaney, with the Big
Sandy Area Development Dtstrict,
said she expects to prepare three or
four applications for the wastewater
project for areas from Johnson,
Floyd and Pike counties.
"Because we expect this is a
competition process, we don't
know if any of them will get it,"
Chancy said. "We anticipate that
Wayland will be among the applicants."
Wayland city council voted earlier this year to pursue fundmg for a
sewer treatment plant.
'There are 3,000 or less unsewercd areas on a regional basis,"
Chaney said. "With this being a
nationally competitive pool we will
put the best applications in."
Sewer projects are more expensive. For example, Wayland's pro-
Ject will cost $1.5 million. If three
prOJects from thts area are funded at
I00 percent from this progmm, then
over 10 percent of the funds available nationally have been used,
Chaney said.
If Wayland is to receive funding
from this program, sewer rates originally discussed would be lower
because a loan would not have to be
repaid, she said.
"We arc like the little train that
could," Chancy added. "Whoever
has money, we will talk to."
The legislation still needs the
President's final approval.
The program is funded by the
House Subcommittee on Vetemns
Affairs, Housing and Independent
Agencies.
911------------------------committed to pay a portion of those
salaries as a contribution to the 911
system.
'That'll not go through the fiscal court," DeRossett said.
"How could it not go through?"
Hale asked DeRossett. "They are
contributing the money."
'There are other people in these
districts that want jobs," DeRossett
said.
Hale told the magistrate that he
understood that, but with the city
and sheriff's office paying a large
portion of those salaries it would
result in a savings to the 911 system. Hale said the combined total
paid by the two entities is more
than $100,000.
'They have made a commitment to contribute to the cost,"
Hale said.
DeRossett disagreed and some
board members seemed to be exasperated with DeRossett's reasoning.
"If they're going to contribute,
take it," Wayland Mayor Gene
Mullins commented.
Meyer said the commitments
from the city and sheriff's office
were part of the reasoning to have a
consolidated communications system in the county, which will include opemtion of the 911 service.
The board agreed to postpone
the advertising of the additional
two or three dispatching jobs
which are expected to be needed to
operate the system.
Meyer did suggest that the rate
of pay for dispatchers be set at
$6.50 per hour and then raised to
$6.75 per hour after a six-month
probationary period.
Deputy Judge-Executive Chris
Waugh agreed.
"In a life and death situation, we
need top-notch equipment and topnotch people," Waugh said.
Judge-executive Hale agreed,
saying the board may want to look
at some type of reward for workers
who demonstrate excellent performance.
Board members agreed to look
at that issue.
In other action Friday:
• The board voted to ask attorney Ned Pillersdorf to send a letter
to Bell South officials concerning
the payment of escrowed E-911
funds. The telephone company
paid the court for five months of
collections that were held back because of a pending civil lawsuit,
but Bell South did not pay interest
on those funds. Meyer said that he
had received a letter from Bell
South officials which said interest
(Continued from page one)
was not owed to the court.
• Waugh reported that elections
to the boards of three new fire taxing districts would be held in December and January. He explained
that membership to two of the positions on those taxing district boards
had to be voted on by property .
owners in those areas.
• The board discussed the purchase of a machine to make street
signs to identify hollows, roads and
streets throughout the county. The
board agreed it would be cheaper
to make its own signs, but Meyer
said he wasn't sure if that would be
a legitimate purchase with 911
funds. Hale said he would ask for a
clarification from the attorney general's office. The judge-executive
added that the fiscal court may
want to make the purchase since
other types of road signs could also
be made with the kit. The estimated cost is almost $2,000. The board
agreed to postpone any decision on
the issue until further clarification
is obtained.
Representatives from the cities
of Allen and Wheelwright and the
Kentucky State Police were absent
from Friday's meeting. Also, board
member James Campbell was absent.

offer specifics saying, "I don't
know, but there are a lot of things
we'd like to do. There's no usc
putting it on the table until it is
worked out."
Woods added that future projects would relate to more community involvement.
'That's good," Salisbury said.
"We ain't had that before."
Commissidners voted 3-0 for
the increase.
Also Monday, Parsons explained to commissioners that a
contract for legal services with
Hammond Law Offices needed to
be terminated and that other legal
counsel needs to be obtained.
Commissioners voted to cancel
the contract and authorized Parsons to neg~tiate with other attorneys.
In other business, Greta Salisbury noted that the city still has a
problem with dogs roaming neighborhoods. She said four of her cats
have been killed by dogs in the last
month and that the dogs' owners
would not keep the animals under
control.
"I know we have no leash law
in Allen and I don't think it would
do any good," Salisbury said. "You
can't do anything to an animal, because there are laws against it."
Mayor Woods said she didn't
know how to respond and said she
would contact the Pike County Humane Society to see how the problem can be addressed. The mayor
added that the issue would also be
presented to the new city attorney.
Commissioners also announced
that they would meet Wednesday
at city hall to finalize plans for a
children's Christmas party on Friday. The party is set to begin at 6
p.m. and will be at city hall.
Commissioners Jimmy "Fudd"
Parsons and Donald Calhoun were
absent from Monday's meeting.

'Voices' audition planned
Quilt winner
•
Pictured Is Dave Prater of Hueysville, winner of the raffle held recently at the Left Beaver Creek Townhouses to raise money for Christmas
gifts for the children who live In the so-unit complex. The Double
Wedding Ring quilt was donated by Roberta Frasure.
Singers in Floyd County are
invited to audition for The Voices of
Eastern Kentucky, a regional chorus
sponsored by Morehead State
University, that will tour England,
Scotland and Wales June 20-July 3.
The 36-member chorus will be
selected from MSU's · service
region, according to Dr. Kenneth
Sipley, MSU assistant professor of
music who will direct the ensemble.
"We are looking for good voices
and individuals who like to sing,"
Dr. Sipley said. "Professional experience is not required but a willingness to work hard is of utmost
importance."
During the audition, applicants
will be tested for vocal range, asked
to perform a piece of sight reading,
deliver a short and simple solo of a
folk or hymn tune, and after working with a piano player, sing their
vocal part on a simple choral piece.
Auditions are set for Sunday,
January 14, I to 6 p.m. and
Monday, January 15, 9 a.m.-noon
and 1 to 6 p.m. in 338 Baird Music
Hall. After selections are made,
applicants will be notified and sent
a rehearsal schedule.
After the choir is chosen, members will have only six months to
learn a lot of music, Dr. Sipley said.
"This will mean devoting additional time outside the regular practice
periods," he said.
Rehearsals will be held one
weekend each month from
February through May. Prior to the
departure date in June, all participants will spend a week on the campus honing their performance skills
and making final preparations
which will include at least two concerts in the University's service
region.
MSU, in cooperation with the
Cooperative Center for" Study in
Britain (CCSB), will arrange for the
oversea<; venture. At least six major
concerts will be held with performances scheduled for a number of
historical sites such as the
Canterbury Cathedral. Additional
information on the auditions is
available from Dr. Sipley at (606)
783-2470.

Friends of the Samuel May
House heard the sound of coins
clinking in their coffers Monday
night when Prestonsburg Mayor
Jerry Fannin announced the award• ing of a $200,000 grant for the
group's effort to save the historic
home built in 1817.
'
Fannin made the announcement
during n meeting of Prestonsburg
City Council The mayor said the
state transportation cabinet had
awarded the $200,000 Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act (ISTEA) grant to the city,
which leases the house to the
restoration group.
In November, the Friends of the
May House learned that their
.;, IS TEA funding request was in jeopardy because of a miscommunication between grant writers and cabinet officials. The Friends of May
House had applied for a $300,000
matching grant and had listed workin-kind as matching funds. Jan
Clements, a representative of the
transportation cabinet, said those
items would not be accepted under
IS TEA guidelines.
After that meeting, the Friends
of the May House began a fundraising effort and solicited about
$25,000 in pledges, according to
Robert Perry, Friends of the May
House.
The house is eligible for the
ISTEA funding because its owner
and builder, Samuel May, was
involved in the development of
transportation. May helped survey a
road from Abbott Shoal to Little
Paint and, in 1814, established the
operation of a ferry across the Big
Sandy River. As a state representative, he appropriated funds to make
the Big Sandy navigable for steamboats and he was instrumental in the
development of the Mount SterlingPound Gap Road.
The $200,000 grant will be combined with a $200,000 grant the
group received last year to begin
stabilization of the house, Perry
said. Stabilization efforts, which
include roof repairs, and masonry
replacement, are expected to cost
around $500,000.

College Day program. Career Day
is intended to stimulate students'
interest in selecting a career early
and to give them an opportunity to
Early Times

The sewage system may be
installed after the site is approved.
Systems are usually installed by a
certified installer who shall provide
the information to the health
department regarding the site and
the system to be installed. If the site
meets the requirements, a permit
will be issued; there is a $100 fee
for the permit.
The system must have a final
inspection by a certified inspector
from the health department. The
system must meet state compliance
codes before it can be approved and
pass the final inspection phase.
For new public facilities where
there is no municipal sewage system
it is mandatory that installation of the
permitted system be done by a certified installer licensed to conduct business in the state of Kentucky.
For more information regarding
on-site sewage system installation,
call the environmentalists at the
Floyd County Health Department.
The phone number is 606-8862788.
KET examines disappearance of songbirds
•
America's songbirds are disappearing. But why?
The New Explorers "On a Wing
and a Prayer," airing on KET at 8
p.m. Wednesday, December 20,
traces a bird migatory route from
Central America, across the Gulf of
Mexico, all the way to Southern
lllinois. Host Bill Kurtis joins a
team of ornithologists from the
Nature Conservancy on an investigative expedition to find out why
the birds using this route are returning from their winter homes in
smaller numbers each year.
In a bizarre twist of nature, some
songbirds are being driven toward
extinction by the cowbird, which is
taking over songbird nests, smashing the eggs and laying its own,
leaving the songbirds to raise the
very birds that may one day drive
some species to extinction. With rare
and startling footage of this "brood
parasitism" behavior in action,
Kurtis and his team of "new explorers" reveal how America's zeal to
clear land for agriculture has put
songbirds at risk. "On a Wing and a
Prayer" also focuses on forest fragmentation and weather radar to help
explain the birds' disappearance.

Smart landowners know it's
only good business to make every
acre pay. Yet, many overlook their
forest lands as a source of continuing revenue! Income from most
forest land can be doubled or even
tripled by adopting forest management practices.
The Kentucky Division of
Forestry is offering free assistance
to the landowners of Floyd County
and Eastern Kentucky. They have
professional foresters who will provide forest management assistance,
free of charge, for any landowner
who desires it.
Upon request, a forester will
examine your woodland and recommend forest management techniques that will increase the value
of your timber. The foresters will
also provide their expertise in
developing a harvest, through
assistance in timber marking, road
layout, erosion control, contract
write-up and final reclamation of
the logging site.
Any landowner who is interested in receiving assistance or who is
wanting more information about
forest management should contact
the Kentucky Division of Forestry
at 1-800-866-0048 or come into the
office on US 23 in Betsy Layne,
Monday thru Friday from 8:00a.m.
to 4:30p.m.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
WISH•...
Our belated happy birthday wish goes out to Betsy
Layne's Scott Collins who
turned 14 on Saturday,
December 9. He is an eighth
grader at Betsy Layne
Elementary. Happy birthday, Scott.
SOME RESPECT
REGAINED.••.•
Just when you think all
major league baseball players are rotten to the core,
along comes one who
renews your faith in the
game. Cincinnati Reds first
baseman Hal Morris could
have demanded the sky in
re-signing with the Reds (or
someone else) for the
upcoming season. He could
have gotten a hefty raise
over last year's $3 minion
plus, but instead he took a
pay cut. More than 50 percent of a pay cut. Just to
stay with the Reds. The San
Francisco Giants were in
hot pursuit of the Reds first
baseman, but that would
scare anyone into signing at
a cut.
Now some can call him
stupid but others can say he
is loyal. But who, you
might ask, would want to
show any loyalty to a cheap
organization headed up by
Marge?
The Reds will be in dire
needed of all the quality
players they can keep
around for the new season.
With Ron Gant apparently
gone, the Reds needed to resign Morris. They already
have Barry Larkin and
Reggie Sanders signed for
the next two seasons, making
shortstop
and
center/right field secure.
Left field will have to be
filled because I don't look
for Thomas Howard to be
the man there this season.
Catching will be a problem for the Reds if they
don't
re-sign
Benito
Santiago. Word is he is out
of the picture for the Reds
this coming spring because
of his demand for an
increase. Benito should sign
(with the Reds) because he
may find himself out of
work again this spring like
last spring when the Reds
gave him a chance.
Bret Boone may be
returning for his final sea' son with the Reds as second
baseman. If he doesn't hit
any better than last season,
he could find himself somewhere else before the season ends next year.
Third base. It certainly
has been a trouble spot for
the Reds to fill. But I like

you are going to need it, especially

So was the case with Betsy

who learned quickly the strength of

to go to the bench often and early in

Betsy Layne had to sustain three

Martin notches 300th win
Jenkins scores 22 in 74-52 win over Lee County
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Milestone.
Allen Central Coach Johnny
Martin picked up his 300th career
win when his Rebels posted a 74-52
win over Lee County this past
Thursday night in the opening
round of the Clarence Rice
Invitational Basketball Tournament
at Johnson Central High School.
For the veteran Allen Central
coach, the win was very gratifying.
"It was good. It was good," he
said after the game.
Junior Thomas Jenkins led the
Rebels' scoring, finishing with 22
points. He had eight rebounds and
six assists in the game. Jason Baker
played for the first time in four
weeks and tossed in 13 points.
'This is the first time in four
weeks that Jason has been on the
floor," the Allen Central coach said.
"He's real rusty."
Todd Howard and Chris Bailey
scored ten points each. For Bailey,
he is playing his first basketball in
three years.
"Chris played very well for us
tonight," Martin said. "If he had
played four years ago, I think we
would have us a dandy.
"He works hard all the time.
He's really just learning how to play
the pivot. He's a great kid who
works hard and tries to do everything you tell him to do. He's going
to get a lot better, even if he is a
senior."
Lee County played the Rebels
close through the first half as they
refused to go away. Allen Central
held a seven-point lead at the half,
3.2-25, but that mar.i!in came hte in
the second quarter when Jenkins hit
a ten-foot jumper, drilled a threepointer and Bailey scored on a
rebound basket to snap a 25-25 tie..
Baker, who did not start the
game, played in the first half
briefly, but started the second half
and hit a layup to start the third
period. He then buried a threepointer at the 6:14 mark to give the
Rebels a 40-25 lead.
Lee County battled back and
narrowed the margin to eight points,
42-34, with 4:36 to play in the third
period. Allen Central went on an
11-3 run with Edmon Slone, who
came off the bench, scoring . four
consecutive points in the run. Baker
completed a three-point play off a
nice assist from Jenkins. Allen
Central led 56-39 after three quarters.
Lee County climbed to within 13
points in the fourth quarter, but
could
no closer as Allen Central
maintained the lead. Bailey scored
on two straight baskets that gave the
Rebels a 20-point lead twice late in
the fourth period.
Allen Central went out to a 2-0
lead on reverse layup by Jenkins to
start the game, but a three-pointer
by Brandon Coldiron gave the
Bobcats a 3-2 margin. The game
was tied at 5, 7, 9 and 16 before Lee

~~
County took a 19-18 first-quarter
lead. The Bobcats' biggest first·
quarter lead came at 19-16 on a
three-point basket by Craig Combs.

Jenkins' assist just ahead of the
hom for the 19-18 score.

County coach, Musketeers had other
ideas as they held the Blackcats to
just six points in the third period,
erased a five-point Prestonsburg lead,
shut out tall man Andy Jarvis and
handed the Blackcats a 68-47 setback, their second of the sca-;on.
The two teams played each other
close through the first half with
Prestonsburg owning the lead at each
of the first two stops. 1be Blackcats
held a slim 14-12 lead after the first
period and took a 28-27 lead to the
locker area at the half. Prestonsburg
scored the first two baskeL<; of the
\hird period and built a 32-27 lead,
but could only score one other field
goal m the third period as Greenup
County rallied for a 44-34 lend after
three periods. The Musketeers
outsCored the BlackcaL'> 24-13 in the
fourth period as they took the ball
inside and broke the back of
Prestonsburg.
J.P. Skeens led the Blackcats as the
only double figure scorer with 15
pomts. He was seven of e~glu from the
free throw line and shot 50 percent

half. Betsy Layne overcame the
comeback from the Lady Blackcats
and held a one or two point lead
until Prestonsburg tied the game at
41 in the third period. Betsy Layne
saw Crystal Gearheart pick up two
consecutive quick fouls and depart
the game, fouling out. Newsome
said the fifth foul was a surprise to
him.
"We thought she had three
fouls," he said. "I was wondering

Heather Kidd p1cked up four personals with just more than two minutes to play in the first quarter. She
was relegated to the bench and did
not return.
It was the play of Rachael
Thompson and Jill Martin that kept
the Lady Cats from tasting defeat
with all the starters in foul trouble.
"We got the big lead early and
then started getting into foul trouble," Newsome said. "Some of
the girls got in early foul trouble
and we had to sub a little more
than normal. But they came
through. Jill Martin played a good
game for us tonight."
Martin entered in the second
period and made an immediate contribution by scoring six points that
were instrumental in sending the
Lady Cats out to the ten-point lead.
Thompson, who finished with eight
points, scored six of those in the
second penod, off the bench.

Senters 'steals' game as
Prater Creek wins 46-44
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Prater Creek's five starters combined for 24 fourth-quarter points
to ignite a rally that erased a 30-22
Auxier lead and gave the Cougars a
46-44 win over the Hornets last
Wednesday night at Auxier.
f',
Wes Senters and Nick Spear.; led
the Cougars' scoring with 13 points
each, but it was the final two points for
Senters that proved to be the big ones.
The game was tied at 44-44 and
Auxier had the ball for the final shot
in regulation play. But Senters made a
steal of the ball, went the length of the
court to lay the ball into the basket
with five seconds left and virtually
stole the game from the Hornets.
"It was a good team effort for
this team," Prater Creek coach
Zenith Hall said, "especially the
starters who scored all the points in
the last quarter."
Senters scored seven of his 13
points in the fourth period. Spears
had five. Adam Akers, who finished
"' with seven points, connected on
five of eight from the charity stripe
to keep the Cougars close. Michael
Goble had nine points in the game,
but scored four in the fourth period.
Adam Collins scored four points in
the game, three in the fourth quarter.
Auxier grabbed a 12-4 firstquarter lead behind Mark Hom who
led all scorers with 29 points. Horn
had eight in the first quarter with
Jonathan Giiiispie and Ralph
Mullett scoring two each.

condition. They work hard in practice, when we do get to practice and
have all of them there. Yeah, I'd say
they were tired."
•
Martin said the fact his team had
been off for awhile, because of the
flu, hasn't helped anything.
"We can't get into any kind of
rhythm at all," he said. ''Corey

been sick. We looked very raggy
out there tonight. We just need a lot
of work."

cherished win number 300 and
recalled his first victim as a head
coach.
"It was against Elliott County,"
; he said. Martin was head coach at
Sheldon Clark at the time. "We beat
the best team Elliott County had.
They had won something like seven
in a row and had a real good player
in Rocky Adkins. We beat them 9689."
Martin's 1OOth win carne against
Louisville Shawnee and he defeated
Wheelwright for win number 200.
"Yeah, I remember all of those,"
he said. Martin has lost 189 games
as a head coach.

The incident at Johnson
;
(Continued from lB)
Central indeed was an unfortunate thing. As I view the coaches
around their respected benches I
find some acting as wild men
and it is no wonder the fans get
caught up in the emotions of the
game.
Some coaches are just hard
workers around their benches
and their remarks are directed at
the players and more so for
instruction or encouragement.
No coach should ever reprimand a player in front of a
crowd or direct his negative
thoughts out loud to an official.
This only incites the fans.
I think the ruling in basketball
should be change to where fouling toward the end of a game is
intentional, regardless. Most
fouls that occur during the latter
part of a game, especially by the
team behind, are intentional. The
coaches have told their players
to foul. It is predetermined during a time out or taught in practice. That is intentional and
should be judged• so with the
appropriate penalty.
A player who intentionally
starts a fight or hurts another
player should not have to wait
for a judgment from the officials
or the KHSAA, but the coaches
themselves (or school principal)
should excuse the player from
the team for the remainder of the
season.
Again, some of our officials
at ball games are not in control.
We have some good officials. We
have some who do have a grasp
of a situation. But we also have
some who create unpleasant situations because they don't understand the rules or are caught out
of position to make a call.
Some officials are making
calls that are not theirs to make.
Others are just plain afraid to
call anything and are out there to
look cute.
I don't envy any official. It is
a hard job. The KHSAA and the
rest of the world are going to
have to go to a three-man crew
in high school basketball.
Someone is going to have to
make that decision and make it
mandatory. The cost for the third
official should be shared by the
school and the official's association.
The game is quicker, the players bigger and faster than years
gone by. Three officials are definitely needed.
Mom and dads should stay in
the stands and not on the floor in
a flare up. That is very important. The guilty party should not
be suspended for one game, but
for the rest of the year. There is
not place in the game of basketball for the behavior by some on
the basketball floor.
Duff Bulldogs
ambush previous
unbeaten Betsy
Layne, 77-72
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Coach Dwight Newsome's
Betsy Layne Elementary Bobcats
were looking for their third consecutive tournament title this
past week in the McDowell PTA
Christmas Tournament. But they
didn't figure in the Duff
Bulldogs, or tried to look past
them since they already owned a
victory over them in the Right
Beaver Classic.
But this time it was the combination of Rodney Bentley and
Leslie Slone that proved too
much for the junior Bobcats.
Slone and Bentley combined for
53 points as Duff edged the
Bobcats 77-72. Bentley led all
scorers with 29 points and Slone
finished with 24.
Betsy Layne placed five players in double figures led by
Chase Gibson's 18 points. Justin
Bartley and Josh Howell finished
with 12 each with Scott Collins
scoring ll and Williams ten.
Bentley scored 13 of his 29
points in the final quarter when
Duff outscored the Bobcats 2218. Slone had six points in the
final stanza. The Bulldogs held a
55-54 lead after three quarters
after trailing by one, 37-36 at the
half.
Duff owned a seven-point
lead, 20-13, at the first stop.
Bentley scored six points in the
first quarter as the Duff defense
stopped the Bobcats in the first.
Josh Howell had five points in
the first period for Betsy Layne,
including a three-point basket.
Collins scored four. Aaron
Swiger, a starter for Betsy Layne,
was held scoreless in the first
half and scored only five points
in the game. Duff held Bartley
scoreless in the first quarter, but
he responded with a trey and basket for five points in the second
quarter.
Gibson came in from the
bench and sparked a secondquarter rally as Betsy Layne
outscored the Bulldogs 24-16 to
lead by one at the half. Gibson
scored nine points in the period
and had a three-point basket.
Bentley, who was held to a
free throw in the second quarter,
cut loose in the third for Duff and
tossed in ten points to rally the
Bulldogs.
Shawn Henson finished with
seven points for Duff with
Rodney Scott netting six points.
Ryan Manns was held scoreless
for the game.
Josh Kidd netted four for
Betsy Layne, who lost for the
first time this season. The
Bobcats hit four three-point baskets.
Duff connected on 17 of 29
from the charity stripe. Betsy
Layne hit a cool six of 20
attempts. It was at the free throw
line Betsy Layne stumbled in the
final quarter. They hit only four
of 12 attempts.

View from here.... UK's Delk handled
'trip to wood shed' as a man should
Too much was made of Tony
Delk's demotion from UK's starting
lineup last week, especially by the
Lexington Herald-Leader.
A veteran player and tri-captain
o\.Jght to handle a 'trip to the wood
shed' with senior-like pose. Dclk
did. How come when the line-ups
were announced Saturday Delk was
among the starters? "He handled it
all so professiOnally," Rtck Pitino
explained. "And I've said, 1t doesn't
matter who starts."
Ali-Manne Team. If you are a
college hoops junkie you have to
enjoy players like Alvin Sims
(UofL), Mark Pope (UK), Jeff
Nordgaard (Wise-Green Bay) and
Matt Harpring (Ga. Tech). They
give what they've got every minute
of playmg time.
Georgia
Tech's
Stephon
Marbury is a fascinating player, but
no more so than his entourage.
Marbury's sister and assorted family members were johnny-on-thespot at the bench doting over the
youngster as he was being treated
for a bloody nose by a trainer during Saturday's game. Just wondering .... what would happen if
Marbury was wearing an Indiana
uniform and the family showed up
at the bench during a game.
WALTER MATHAU CREEP?
Maybe I'm just closer to the
(old) Walter Mathau set than
(young) Walter McCarty's, but college basketball doesn't seem to
have the same sparkle and allure it
once did.
Last week, sttting inches from
where Antoine Walker and Jeff
Sheppard were trapping Jeff
Nordgaard to the sideline, pushing
and crowding the Wisconsin-Green
Bay player into a turnover, I found
myself hoping the kid in the green
pants and shirt would escape.
This wasn't basketball. I
thought, it was legalized mugging.
But Nordgaard didn't whine. He
gave as good as he got.
But hearing the pubhc address
announcer scream the word b-a-a-aaas-s-s-sketBAWL as if it was a
Chic&go Bulls game reminded me of
what Pitino was sayang the week
before. '"The college game is getting
more and more like the 1\'BA." What
he did not say is he's promoting it.
And the PA man's introduction
of Pitino is pure corn. Is this
Mtchael Jackson or Garth Brooks?
Maybe you do, but I don't go to
UK games to see Pttmo. I want to
see how well his all-star team plays.
How well prepared it is. Until the
second half against Georgia Tech
the Wildcats have not been impressive in either category.
Is it just me or is college basketball falling prey to Rodman-creep?
Vitale screech? Both?
Coaches cheaung to get an edge
aside. real and rumored, is today's
game a kind of angry, hateful spasm
of woofing and grabbing and holdang? All to the accompaniment of a
droning analytical overlay by a TV
or radio buy. Then made slick and
marketable by shoe company hucksters? Is it all packaged to fit
between toothpaste commercials?
Has strategy become how best to
frustrate, intimidate an opponent
into mistakes instead of graceful
ballet of trying to outscore a foe?
Shouldn't these be a bunch of eager
college kids who smile now and
then (thank you, Derek Anderson),
instead of a young man worrying
about his NBA chances.
Naw. Probably not. Probably just
me, sitting too close to a sideline
defensive trap ....suffering Walter
Mathau creep.

what a youngster achieves on court.
Since Commissioner Louis
Stout's KHSAA office now has the
latest hi-tech (Internet web site and
CommonNet) up and running, why
not issue progress reports to those
who vote, summarizing academic
progress and citizenship in 'the

Fertile ground for lots of positives.
The state's media herd will take
care of the numbers portion, reporting points, rebounds and assists
being piled up by candidates. View
from here is Louis Stout can add to
his good record as a plugged-in
commissioner by putting to use his
office's technology to help draw
Kentucky's

and

Basketball selection process away
from being a popularity contest.
UK RECRUITS BALK?
Why arc two high school football players verbally committed to
Kentucky, Tony Crume (Marion
County) and M1guel Merritt
(Hopkinsville) now saying they
intend to visit other schools?
A number of reasons according
to one college recruiter.
1. The real recruiting season is
only now beginning. VerbaJ commitments beforehand are no more
than window dressing often perpetrated by a recruiter from the school
to which the younger commits.
Goes something like this.
Coach: "Son, if you commit to
us now, it's going to get you some
nice exposure and probably encourage some of your buddies to come
along with you to State U. You
don't have to sign anything, just
have your coach call the local
media and have a little press conference."
2. When a young man who had
verbally committed sees the blizzard of media attention going to
Tim Couch, it makes him wonder
why he took himself out of a chance
for some spotlight. Why did he cut
his options, free visits to other campuses?
3. A youngster suddenly faces
the reality he might not qualify academically to participate as a freshman at the school to which he has
committed and so, decides to examine his options at other institutions.
What happens in February?
"Generally, in the end most of
the kids sign with the schools they
originally committed to," the college assistant said.

into the trap. We're not a top five in
talent. You guys who've been covering Kentucky longer than I've

BEST AND WORST
'95
It's time to bid 1995 a fond
farewell. As we say our good-byes to
the season past, let's take a lighthearted look at some of the best and
of course, some of the worst from the
year gone by.
BEST BEHIND TilE WHEEL:
Jeff Gordon of course You know
why. It's aJI been said, so I won't
bother repeating it again.
WORST
BEHIND
THE
WHEEL: Has to be Kyle Petty. After
back to back seasons in the finaJ top
five (1992-93), Petty has been on a
steady decline. Many had him
pegged to rise to the top. However,
he has found his niche in the muck of
mediocrity. Even his win at Dover
could not help him rise above 30th in
the final standings.
BEST AT CALLING THE
SHOTS: I wonder how good Jeff
Gordon would be without the tute-
lage of Ray Evemham. Jeff is one
heck of a driver, but without a doubt,
his crew chief played a major role in
his first championship. Crew chief of
the year, no bones about it!
WORST AT CALLING TIIE
SHOTS: Definitely the official who
blew the caJl on the missing lug nut
in the Earnhardt pits at Rockingham.
Hey Dale, paint'em all the same
color next time.
OWNER EXTRAORDINARE:
Rick Hendrick. Won it aJl. Now if he
can just get that Bud car in victory
lane before they pull the sponsorship.
OWNER BONER: Felix Sabates,
without a doubt. He's the Jerry Jones
ofNASCAR. I'm surprised he didn't
try to sign Dionne Sanders. Hey
Felix, money can't buy it all. His
invasion of the Penske South team
and his attempt at buying Larry
McReynolds left a bad taste in the
mouth of many.
WE AIN'T DEAD YET: Petty
We have the .keys to
you~ new car ...
WORST RACE OF THE YEAR:
The season-ending NAPA 500. Can
we say boring? The fact that there
was no point implications helped us
nap on the couch during the event.
The highlight of the day was when
the DuPont crew let Rick Hendrick
and Ray Evernham actively take
Enterprises and driver Bobby
Hamilton combined to pleasantly
surprise the racing community.
Finishes that included four top fives
and ten top tens helped land the pilot
of the Petty Pontiac in the final top
15. We're looking forward to watching you guys in '96.
WE KICKED TilE BUCKET:
Expectations were high for Geoff
Bodine's Exide Racing team in '95.
The team, which won a championship under Alan Kulwicki just
three years ago, was a formidable foe
in 1994. Many, including myself,
expected the New York native to finish in the final top ten. Not! Were the
Hoosier tires thd difference?
BEST RACE OF TilE YEAR:
The Goody's 500 at Bristol was a
slugfest. With Earnhardt charging
from behind on more than one occasion, and Terry Labonte sliding across
the finish line sideways, this one kept
you on the edge of your seat.

proved he can play the position day in and day out.
Willie Greene. Let's hope they have given up on him.
Then the news that Chris "Sabs" Sabo has inked a minorleague contract with the Reds was released and I have hung
my Sabo picture back on the wall. But I realize it is a long
shot that Sabs will be at the hot comer for the Reds this
spring. I realize that. I think he has a few more problems
than just a sore back.
Pitching will continue to be the weak department for the
Reds this spring. John Smiley is on the trade block as well
as Mark Portugal. Pete Schorck and Jose Rijo will be returning as starters. The Reds need to revamp their entire pitching rotation and clean out the bullpen with "never will be's."
New manager Ray Knight may have to start with an
' entirely different squad than the one that finished last season. Apparently the Reds have no one in their minor league
system ready to make the jump to the big show.

JENKINS ON THE MOVE
Allen Central junior Thomas Jenkins no doubt will be one
of the state's leading scorers when the KHSAA releases its
first stats on the young basketball season.
All the Rebel forward/point guard has done is score, 36,
22, 36 and 38 for 132 points in his first four games. That's
an average of 33 points per game. But the junior is doing
more than scoring. He is also averaging around nine
rebounds per game and dishing off four assists in his
unselfish play.
Jenkins appears to be quicker this season. His quickness
along the baseline makes him very difficult to guard.
But a sophomore by the name of Todd Howard has
stepped up his game and is taking some of the pressure off
Jenkins. How~d had 19 points against Pike Central and
Johnson Central in the finals of the Johnson Central
Invitational.
When it looked like Allen Central was in for a long season, Coach Johnny Martin rebounded his team to a 4-1 start
and they have looked impressive in their first four outings.
Even against Paintsville, in game one, the Rebs played the '
Tigers close the first half.
Other players have stepped up and contributed early.
Chris Bailey. If this kid had played as a freshman, he
would be one of the top regional players today. Chris has
come on strong and by tournament time, could be a top player. Off the bench: Edmon Slone and Gary Hunter have
played well.
Prestonsburg continues to look for its first win of the season, falling to Magoffin County and Greenup County. (The
Blackcats were at home last night against Elkhorn City).
Getting some consistency out of his club is the main thing
for Coach Jackie Pack. The inside game is strong one night,
but the outside game is missing. The next night it may be in
reverse. Against Greenup County nothing was there but J.P.
Skeens.
Coach Jim Rose has seen his South Floyd Raiders get off
to a 1-0 start. (The Raiders hosted Hazard Monday night and
played at Shelby Valley last night). Jason Shannon, T.T.
Pack and Terrence Mullins had an outstanding opening
game and this club will win more games this season. Watch
out for them.
Coach Junior Newsome's Bobcats are off to a 1-1 start.
But I like this team's hustle. They play hard on the boards
and rebound very well, especially on the offensive boards.
Chris Hamilton, Willie Meade and Jason Tackett give
them a strong inside game with Rocky Newsome·providing
the outside scoring. Mark the Bobcats!
GRADE SCHOOLALL-STARS.•••
After the grade school season has ended and all the tournaments are over I would like to see a return of the old
Section All-Star Tournament we had at one time back in the
early '80s. With all the very, very good grade school players
we have, it certainly would be a crowd drawer.
,.
I mean it would make a super tournament. Each section (IIV) would dress an all-star team (15 players) and meet at one
of the high school gyms. That would make eight teams (four
girls, four boys) and what a tournament it would make.
When "Muggsy" Griffith (former Martin Grade School
coach) held the tournament at Allen Central High School in
the early '80s, the Rebel gym was filled in the lower arena
area. I don't think we realize how big a thing grade school
basketball is. I would help in any way possible in organizing
it just to see the event take place. I wouldn't want it to be
held every season, but when we have as much talent in all
four sections as we have this year, think of what it would
mean to the kids and what a tournament it would be.
I would like to know how some of you grade school
coaches feel about it. We could bring in the local cable channel as well as a radio station. Give some of the future high
school players some coverage.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports!

AMS survives Martin scare
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The Adams Middle School
Blackcats placed four players in
double figures and then posted a
67-61 win over the Martin Purple
Flash in the first round of the
Adams Middle School Invitational
last Wednesday night.
John Dixon led all scorers with
21 points while Josh Turner added
16. Joseph Crockett and Lee
Spriggs scored 15 and ten respectively.
Jeremy Sexton led Martin in
scoring with 15 points. Chad
Samons netted 11 and Chris
Damron finished with ten. Both
Larry Mullins and Patrick Martin
scored nine each for Martin.
"Martin is a good little basketball team," Adams Coach Neil
Turner said. "They didn't quit.
They are a scrappy little team. They
deserve credit for playing hard."
Martin looked to be in control
when the team came out and scored
the first 12 points of the game. The
Purple Flash Jed 18-6 at the first
stop behind Jeremy Sexton's six
points. Chris Damron had six points
for Martin in the initial period.
Adams came out in the second
quarter and got more involved in
the offense as Turner shot them
back into contention with two
straight three-point baskets. Martin
held a 25-20 lead at the half.
Turner resumed his torrid shooting by burying two more threepointers in the third period as
Adams outscored Martin 25-13 in
the period and Jed 45-38 after three
quarters.
"I believe Martin wore down m
the third quarter," Turner said.
'They were still hanging around
when Josh hit those threes."

�Mr. and Mrs. Scrooge
do not live here
I'm sure glad that when it comes to acquiring·
and maintaining the spirit of the season, those of us
over 50 seem to have a distinct advantage over the
younger generation. I guess that's because we can
still remember when Christmases were more than
just dates circled on our calendar. We can still
remember experiencing Christmas as a warm feeling in our hearts instead of an empty feeling in our
wallets.
Nevertheless, it was with little enthusiasm that I
crawled into the attic a couple of weeks ago and
dug out all of last year's decorations and stuff. I
kept thinking that maybe I was feeling the way I
was because time was passing so quickly. It was
hard to believe that it had been nearly a year since I
had stored it all away.
Anyway, I tried not to let it show and smilingly
went through the motions, helped Wilma decorate
the tree, and didn't say anything about my lack of
Christmas spirit. That is until she confided that she
too just didn't "feel it" this year.
Although 1 wa~ happy to learn that it wasn't just
me-you know, the "misery loves company" sort of
thing-at the same time, I felt a certain degree of
sadness. In the past, we've both been big Christmas
..-------~~....,lovers. We've been
known to start hunting
for-and actually playing-our Bing Crosby,
Andy Williams, and
Elvis Christmas tapes
long before all the
Clyde Pack
leaves had fallen from
..__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___. the trees.
Furthennorc, we never failed to get out our
videos and watch "Emmet Otter's Jug Band
Christmas" and "It's a Wonderful Life" at least once
before the big day arrived.
But, with both of us feeling sort of apathetic
about it all, it didn't seem likely that we'd go that
route this year.
So, while we hung the special ornaments, like
the clothespin toy soldier that our son Todd had
POiSOn
Oak
Wednesday, December 13, 1995
made in Cub Scouts, the ceramic angels that our
friend Frank1c Meek made for us more than 20
years ago, and the tmy teddy bears made from old
quilts that were once owned by Wilma's mom, we
talked about it
We concluded that our feeling of Yuletide
malaise was simply the result of us letting all this
commercialism get to us. I thmk we were both kind
of depressed by all the reports that the success of
the holidays is now measured by how much money
shoppers spend the day after Thanksgavmg.
We decided then and there that we wouldn't play
that silly game. We refused to fall into the trap of
believing that you can have peace on earth and joy
in the world only if cash registers arc ringing and
all our credit cards arc filled to the max.
I'm glad we were mature enough to realize that
we weren't Mr. and Mrs. Scrooge and that we'd
have a much happier holiday if we spent less time
at the mall and more time sipping her famous hot
cinnamon cider recipe.
With all that in mind. then, from our house to
yours, have a very merry (old-fashioned) Christmas.

with other homemakers. Watch for some of the cookie recipes In County Kettle.
Frances Pitts, former extension agent for home economics, worked
on her newest quilt last week. She is one of about a dozen people who

Recently I ran across a story printed in the
New York Herald on April 11, 1891, regarding an event which happened at Cumberland
Gap during the War Between the States.
A Colonel Thornburgh was in command
of a detachment of Union soldiers holding
Cumberland Gap. The Gap was thought to
be of strategic importance and Jefferson
Davis ordered Confederate troops to control
the Gap as a means to prevent attack by
northern troops. The Gap was then alternately held by both the North and the South during the war.
The Pinnacle, a high point of the
Cumberland Mountain near the Gap, offers a
good view of the surrounding terrain with an
elevation of 2,465 feet above sea level.
It was used as a vantage point by the
annies holding the mountain during the War
Between the States. Portions of six different
states can be seen from this area on clear
days.
Thornburgh was in charge of artillery near
the pinnacle atop Cumberland Mountain on
one particular day and was watching the area
below with field glasses. He observed two
very pretty girls enter a farmhouse and
intently watched in hopes of glimpsing a
pretty ankle, reported the New York Herald.
To Thornburg's intense displeasure he saw
a half dozen Confederate soldiers arrive
upon horseback, tie their steeds to a cherry
tree outside, and dash into the farmhouse.
They were evidently warmly received by the
young ladies.
The pickets (lookouts) of the two annies
were constantly within seeing eye distance
of each other during the War Between the
States so the visit to the farmhouse by the
rebels was not that surprising. However it
was more than Colonel Thornburg could
stand.
By means of his heliograph signal code he:
flagged to his commanding officer who was
within easy reach on the opposite side of the
. mountain. He told what he had witnessed
and asked permission to cannonade the farm
house with his artillery.
The commanding officer's answer came
back, "You can fire but one shot."
Thornburgh selected his biggest gun,
trained the sights with the utmost care and lit
the cannon's charge.
Colonel Thornburgh watched as the shell
sang through the air. The aim was excellent
but before the shell reached the farmhouse,
just as it cleared the clump of cherry trees, it
exploded in mid-flight, it riddled the trees,
stampeded the horses and caused a general
alarm among all those within as it sent them
scurrying in all directions.
Cumberland Gap changed hands several
times during the War Between the States
without loss of life. There were continual
incidences such as this, however, for the
duration of the war.
A total of 30,000 Tennessee soldiers
fought for the Federal Army and 100,000 for
the Confederate Army during the war. This
was more than ten percent of Tennessee's
population at the time.

High School and Alice Lloyd College, is

ealth Matters
by Christopher Fleming
\..
SHOULD WE EAT MORE
WHEN IT IS COLD OUT?
When it turns cold most people
believe that they need to pack in a
few extra calories. But most people
will dress warmly and spend very
little time outside. So there is no
need for extra calories.
Theoretically, if you were
exposed to severe cold and were not
dressed warmly then you would
need more calories. The need for
additional calories stems from an
increased metabolic rate to compensate for the heat loss. However,
when people are exposed to cold on
a regular basis, they usually adapt
to it. The adaptation is referred to as
acclimatization. As you become
acclimatized, shivering begins at a
lower skin temperature and heat
loss through the skin is minimized.
This has been seen in studies of
lean Australian aborigines who
sleep naked in the cold, and in
Korean sellfish divers who swim in
ice-cold seas. It takes about two
weeks of frequent exposure to the
cold to acclimati1.e.
Body fat is excellent insulation
against the cold. Yet most of the
time we are so covered up that body
fat does not play a role in keeping
us warm. So you do not need extra
calories in winter unless you plan to
be outside naked.
Tip of the Week: Men can develop breast cancer, though rarely do:
it is estimated that only 900 cases
were diagnosed in 1989, compared
to more than 140,000 cases in
women.

BONDING FOR
PERFECT S~ULE
Are you self conscious about
your smile'! Do you have a chipped
tooth that needs repair? Are your
front teeth stained from the use of
certain antibiotics'? If any of these
problems are hindering your smile,
a dental technique called bonding
can make these problems a thing of
the past.
Bonding, a word which has ·
become synonymous with cosmetic
dentistry, is a general term that
describes a variety of techniques
involving attaching or bonding a
plastic or porcelain material to the
tooth surface. One method involves
using a composite resin, resembling a putty, to rebuild of reshape
the tooth. Once the desired look is
achieved, the resin is exposed to a
blue bonding light that dries and
hardens it. The tooth is then
smoothed and polished.
Another form of bonding
involves the use of porcelain
veneers that look, and are applied
like fake fingernails. Most bonding
procedures take only one or two
visits and are completely painless.

The Floyd County Times
ack May's War
Editor's Note: The following
anicle is an excerpt from Roben
Perry's book, Jack May's War
Marshall's tum to raid Kentucky
came in March. Sometime around
the middle of the month, he came
through Pound Gap with eighteen
hundred mounted men, includmg
Giltner's 4th Kentucky, Johnson's
2nd Kentucky, Clay's 1st Kentucky,
Caudill's lith Kentucky, and a
squadron of men under Captain G.
M. Jessee. On the evening of March
16th, Guerrant recorded: "At 3:45
p.m. I entered my native state. The
bright sunlight never shone more
beautifully over her blue htlls,
though the land of the brave be now
stained with dishonor."
Military correspondence shows
that during this period, Jack May's
men were camped at Ptketon.
Guerrant's diary shows that Jack
didn't join Marshall's command
until March 26th, when it was
camped a few miles south of
Louisa.
Compared with Morgan's raid
on Muldraugh's Hill and Cluke's
raid on Mount Sterling, Marshall's
raid on Louisa didn't amount to
much. Marshall didn't destroy any
bridges, nor did he bum and sack
any towns. In fact, for the historian,
the purpose of his expedition is
something of a mystery. Since the
report Marshall wrote following the
raid has been lost, along with his
orders, its purpose must be pieced
together from accounts wntten by
the men who accompanied him on
the expedition. Unfortunately, these
accounts
are
contradictory.
Mosgrove claims that Marshall's
orders called for him to move into
the Bluegrass, rendezvous with cavalry brigades led by Pegram and
Jenkins, and capture Lexington.
Guerrant, however, who had an intimate knowledge of Marshall's correspondence, doesn't mention this
plan. Furthennore, hts only mention
of Pegram and Jenkins occurs in
this passage, written several days
before the raid.
"Gen. Pegram will advance upon
Danvtlle Ky. vt Monttccllo, and
Gen. Jenkins will go d own the
Sandy. We are to be at Mt. Sterling
or vicinity by 23 or 24 March. Hat!,
glorious, auspicious day!"
This entry clearly shows that
Marshall's destination was Mount
Sterling. Since he was cognizant of
the fact that Cluke had just raided
the town and was still hovering
around it, we can assume, I thmk,
t}lat Marshall's orders called for
him to reinforce Cluke or relieve
the pressure the Federals were sure
to bring on him sooner or later. As
things turned out, that was exactly
what he ended up doing.
Before I explain how 17is happened, however, I would like to
make one further point. Although
the main purpose of his ratd. was to
assist Cluke, Marshall was also
very much interested in recruiting
soldiers and collecting ltvestock.
The importance of this last activity
can't be overestimated. Marshall's
men lived on salt pork and salt beef,
and his cavalry used up horses at a
ferocious rate. Several days before
the raid, while reflecting on its purpose, Guerrant wrote: 'The object
of the expedition is primarily to
gather supplies for our armies: beef,
pork, etc."
Shortly after Marshall's headquarters company passed through
Pound Gap, a courier rode up with
the news that Cluke's command
was in a tight spot at Salyersville.
Following his second occupation of
Mount Sterling, Cluke had retreated
to Salyersville under heavy enemy
pressure. Basil Duke says that when
Cluke got to Salyersville, ''he found
himself completely surrounded.
Fifteen hundred of the enemy had
gained his rear, ten hundred,
advancing from Louisa, were on his
right, and eight hundred were at
Proctor on his left." If that wasn't
bad enough, at least half of his men
were prostrated with some kind of
bacterial infection.
On March 21st, while the
Federals were slowly tightening the
noose they had set for him, Cluke
did an unexpected thing. Marchmg
sixty miles in twenty-four hours,
over mountains and swollen
streams, he launched his third
attack on Mount Sterling, notwithstanding the fact that only three
desperate, four-hour tight. Four
hundred Federals were taken prisoner, along with five hundred
mules, two hundred and twenty
supply wagons, and one thousand
rifles.
Even in his own day, Humphrey
Marshall was often riduculedeven by his own men-for his corpulence, his slowness, and his lack
of fighting spirit. Affected by this
prejudice, historians have tended to
view his raid on Louisa as an exer-
.----------------------------------
for that decision.
One of Cluke's superior officer
was Brigadier General Basil Duke,
brother-in-law of John Hunt
Morgan and Morgan's second-in
command. Two years after the war,
Duke published an extraordmary
narrative, A History of Morgan's
Cavalry (New York, 1867), one
chapter of which is devoted to the
story of Cluke's raid on Mount
Sterling.
In it Duke makes this statement:
"Marshall, marching from Pound
Gap about this time [March 21st],
dispersed the forces which had
gone to capture Cluke at
Salyersville."
My chief source of infonnation
about Marshall's movements during
the Louisa raid is the daily journal
kept by his adjutant, Colonel
Edward 0 . Guerrant. This work is a
veritable treasure-trove of infonnation, not only about the daily movements of Marshall's cavalry, but
about daily life in Eastern Kentucky
during the Civil War. My intention
in the following paragraphs is to
give the reader a day-by-day
account of the raid, using details
selected from Guerrant's journal.

That's right. Now you can save up to 30% pn restdentiallocal toll calls to nearby communities automatically with
BellSouth. Whenever you make more than $20 of local toll calls a month, BellSouth will discount those calls by 30%.
There's no need to sign up- the savings are automatic. In fact, you could be saving 30% right now, just by calling the
way you always have. Plus, after the ftrst 30 seconds, your calls arc charged in six-second increments, instead of whole minutes.
So, with BellSouth, charges end just after your conversation docs, instead of at the neAt whole minute. lsn' t it nice to know

Lifestyle tax audits: questioning Christmas, cars and cuisine
Day Phone: 478-5000
Evening Phone: 478-4450
-
Put away the family china and
hide your designer jeans. The
Internal Revenue Service is taking
inventory and not even your
Christmas list is safe!
The IRS has announced it is
stepping up ''lifestyle" audits of taxpayers. Also called "economic reality" audits, these tax probes are
intended to reveal unreported
income, oversroted expenses or personal expenses deducted as business expenses.
But what they really do is give
federal auditors authority to come
in to your home or place of business
and ask intrusive questions about
the way you run your life and spend
• your money.
In some cases, for example, a
revenue agent might review the personal income tax return of a
small-business owner and then
request a tour of his business if, in
the mind of the agent, the return
information docs not appear to jibe
with the taxpayer's economic cir-
I
cumstances or lifestyle.
In instances where taxpayers
refuse to cooperate with revenue
agents or where agents believe the
taxpayer is not being truthful, the
IRS can summon bank records and
other financial documents. The
tax-collecting agency also can gather information from third parties,
including a taxpayer's customers or
suppliers.
Utah small-business owner
Craig Willett, who runs his own
accounting firm. has first-hand
experience with these so-called
"Calvin Klein" audits. Willett
recently represented a small-business owner who went through one.
The IRS agent asked intrusive
questions such as: What did you
buy your kids for Christmas last
year? How much money do you
spend in a week on groceries? Does
your wife pay to get her hair and
nails done and, if so, how much
does it cost?
After questions about Christmas,
canned goods and other tax cuisine,
the agent estimated that Willett's
client had spent less than his reported gross adjusted income. The audit
turned out to be a colossal waste of
time.
Stories like this are perhaps a
primary reason why the IRS has
developed such an adversarial relationship with small-business owners.
The idea that a tax auditor can
barge into your home or place of
business with a laundry list of personal questions strikes fear in many
taxpayers' hearts.
To no one's surprise, the 600,000
member-strong National Federation
of Independent Business reports
that the IRS is one of the top three
federal agencies that small employers think work against them." All
too often, small employers are bullied by the IRS. Many small-business owners spend most of their
time worrying about making payroll-they do not have the time or
the resources to hire a tax attorney
and take on the vast resources of the
IRS.
NFIB is supporting a "Taxpayer
Bill of Rights" which would shift
the burden from the taxpayer, to the
IRS, to show that the agency was
justified in its enforcement action
against the taxpayer. And taxpayers
would be entitled to attorneys' fees
for unjustified IRS actions.
For the long term, America's IRS
Code should be completely abolished, and replaced with a simple,
fair tax system.
In the meantime, the IRS needs a
complete change in attitude-and a
greater focus on education, simplification. and communication with
small-business owners, not "Calvin
Klein" audits.

National Federation of Independent
Business,

over
600,000 smallbusiness men and

Payment methods established for pay
telephone calls using relay services
November Winner
The winner of Carter Hughes Toyota's $100 gas giveaway for
November was Bordes Slone of Mallie. Pictured with him is salesman
Greg Dancy.
If you need to use a pay telephone to make calls through a
telecommunications relay service
(TRS}, then you need to know
about policies that are now in
effect.
Local calls from pay telephones
through a relay service will be free
of charge.
Long distance calls from a pay
telephone using a relay service can
be charged to a calling card. A calling card allows you to have calls
billed to your telephone or to your
card account. Calling cards can be
used at coin telephones as well as
any other telephone.
Long distance calling card calls
from a pay telephone using a relay
service will cost the same as a long
distance calling card call that does
not s 1. relay service.
Relay services pass calls, personal or business, to or from deaf,
hard of hearing or speech-impaired
telephone customers who use text
telephone devices (TTYs). These
special centers are in operation
seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
BellSouth Calling Cards are
available to customers free of
charge. To get a BeliSouth Calling
Card, customers who use text telephones (TTYs) in Kentucky can
call 557-6254. All other Kentucky
customers should call 557-6500.
The new policies were requested
by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and developed
by relay service providers, organizations for the deaf, hard-of-hearing and speech-impaired, local telephone service providers, and long
distance
telephone
service
providers.
The industry and the user community will work together to evaluate the effectiveness of the policies
and their implementation on an
ongoing basis.

Hosting a holiday party means more than plenty of booze!]
Hosting a successful holiday
party once meant servmg the best
booze, never running out of ice, and
watching your guests get as "loaded
as Santa's sled."
But no more. Today's wise
party-givers know that the state's
tough drunk driving laws will be
doubly enforced this holiday season
and are planning their parties to be
lively, but their guests sober.
The CareUnit at Our Lady of
Bellefonte Hospital suggests the
following holiday tips for the host
and hostess who plan to serve alcohol at their party.
*Offer more than drinks. When
the focal point is liquor, the party is
definitely slipping. Stir up conversation, draw out a talented guest or
play games, vtdeos or otherwise.
• Always have a jigger available
when guests mix their own drinks.
Guests who try to "eyeball" a jigger
of booze will often end up drinking
more than they had planned.
• If you plan on having a bartender, select one you know who
will make the drinks "light" and
will quietly "cut someone orr·
when they've had too much."
* If you're passing around glasses of champagne, do so at regular
intervals. The body can handle
about two-thirds of an ounce of
alcohol an hour.
• Don't double up. Many people
pace their drinks, so don't serve
doubles. The body can usually handle one drink an hour, a double the
is equivalent of two.
• Don't push drinks. Let a glass
become empty before you refill.
And then, don't rush; especially if
someone comes up empty too often.
When a guest says "no" to an alco-

holic drink, don't insist.
* Provtde something non-alcoholic to drink. While canned soda is
fine, it is not as festive, or budgetwise as punch.
* Serve food. Many hosts and
hostesses serve a late dinner so that
guests eat something substantial
before leaving the party. Food slows
down the rate at which alcohol is
absorbed by the body.
* Push snacks. Snacking slows
down the rate at which people
drink.
* If you notice one of your
guests drinking too much, do what
you can to slow him/her down.
Offer some food, ask for their help
in the kitchen, keeping them occupied or volunteer to make their next
drink, and make it light.
* Encourage your guests to carpool to the party, designating a specific driver who will stay sober for
the evening.
• Many party-goers arrange with
friends to take a cab or rent a limousine. Splitting the cost can make
this less expensive and safe.
Every year we hear statistics on

holiday fatalities. No host or hostess
wants a guest to become a fatality,
but every year, some do. To avoid it,
party-givers must be part diplomat,
part psychologist and most of all,
part police officer. Never let anyone
drive home from your party who is
not sober. Take their keys, call them
a cab, drive them home yourself.
The extra effort is worth it.

After a detour or two, Latta reaches the top
·by Scott Perry
Times Editor
Ann
Latta's
appointment
., Wednesday as Secretary of Tourism
for the state is more than one of
those local-girl-makes-good stories. It's a classic example of the
American Dream, where anyone
can start at the bottom and work
their way to the top.
In Latta's case, that's just what
happened ... with a few notable detours, of course.
After graduating from the University of Kentucky in 1959 with a
degree in journalism, Latta's first
job was with Kentucky's Department of Public Information which,
at that time, included the state's
tourism development department.
"I started on the bottom rung,
writing travel articles," she said
Thursday.
On Wednesday, she made it to the
top rung as Governor-elect Paul
Patton's choice for tourism secretary in a department that directs the
state's involvement in Kentucky's
fastest growing industry.
On her way up the ladder, Latta,
58, spent two years in Washington
D.C., working with the U.S. Travel
Service, a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce. She also
took an eight-year side-trip, serving
as Mayor of Prestonsburg from January, 1986 until January, 1994.
As mayor, Latta spearheaded
Prestonsburg's drive to develop and
promote tourism in Floyd County,
directing passage of the city's motel
and restaurant tax, which provided
a consistent source of funding for
tourism related projects. A portion
of that tax is earmarked specifically
for the operation of the Mountain
Arts Center, scheduled to open this
summer in Prestonsburg, and a project Latta helped launch.
After leaving the government
sector in 1994, Latta founded her
own public relations firm, Latta &
Associates, and she currently
serves under contract as the executive director for the Floyd County

Joseph asks court to throw out
his indictment for vote buying
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
An attorney for one of six people indicted by a special grand jury
last month is seeking a dismissal of
the charge against his client claiming that the state law that provides
for it is unconstitutional.
Ned Pillersdorf, who represents
Harold Junior Joseph, filed a motion Tuesday in Floyd Circuit Court
which says the vote-buying charge
against Joseph is similar to a statute
that has been declared unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court,
which called the law vague and
overbroad.
Joseph was indicted November
27 by a special Floyd County
Grand Jury for allegedly buying
votes in his bid for the office of jailer in the 1993 May primary election.
Pillersdorf claims the election
law Joseph is accused of violating
is almost identical to the statute addressed by the Supreme Court.
"The words in the indictment of
'expend money to another person
10 consideration of the vote or financial or moral support of that
person' sound remarkably like the
'payment or consideration of a
vote' language in the statute that
was declared unconstitutional in
the Foley decision," Pillersdorf's
motion said. "The language of the
statute and the present indictment
essentially suggest it is illegal to
spend money to get votes. All candidates spend money for many purposes during a campaign to promote their candidacy. Money is
given to other persons, in consideration of gaining votes, in the form
of advertising, sponsorship of
events, etc. The present Jndtctment
is an arbitrary enforcement of an
(See Joseph, page two)
The Kentucky Board of Education approved Floyd County's
deficit reduction plan Wednesday
provided that a more detailed plan
is presented for review at the state
board's February meeting.
"We accepted the committee's
recommendation," state board
chairman Joe Kelly said Thursday.
"We are going to continue to research, review and monitor the situation. The bottom line is that they
are to bring a more detailed plan
back in February."
On Tuesday, local officials presented a plan to eliminate a $1 million deficit projected for this year
to the board's Management Support Committee. Committee chairman Craig True called the board's
plan "pitiful" because it did not
contain enough information about
how the deficit would be erased.
True also commented that he
was not happy that the Floyd
County system was before the state
board again.
"I'm disappointed that we've
reached this point," True said Tuesday.
Because the Floyd system is
projecting a deficit, state school officials must approve all expenditures in the district.
Interim superintendent Ed Allen
said Thursday state officials will
most likely be in the district once a
week to approve any expenditures.
"Mamly, therr plan 1s to come m
one day a week and approve all
purchases," Allen said. "And a person in the finance department will

Two cases
-of assault
waived to
grand jury
A criminal abuse charge against
a Floyd County man involving a
two-year-old child was referred
Wednesday to a grand jury.
Merlin Osborne, 20, of Auxier,
is charged with first degree criminal abuse for allegedly striking his
live-in girlfriend's two-year-old
son on November 25 after the
child wet hb pants.
, At a preliminary hearing
Wednesday in Floyd District
Court, Kentucky State Police
trooper M.J. Harrison testified that
•Osborne's girlfriend, Sherry
Wyatt, entered Mike's Pizza Plus
at Auxier and asked officers to
~ help Osborne, who had cut his
hand when he rammed it through a
window.
When authorities arrived at
Wyatt's home, Osborne told officers that he struck Wyatt's son because he wet his pants.
"(Osborne) was bleeding and
we called for an ambulance," Harrison said. "He told us that he had
hit the little boy and that he had
been drinking. The child had
bruises on his head, chest, neck
and back."
11
Osborne is also charged with
fourth degree assault because he
also struck Wyatt several times,
Harrison said.
"She said after the incident with
the child occurred with her
boyfriend, she confronted him,"
Harrison said. "She said he struck
her several times in the head. The
child was taken to (Highlands Regional Medical Center) and

Stumbo,....said Thursday she announced her candidacy Wednesday
evening because she felt there was
so much more she could do.
"I feel my talents fit this job,"
Stumbo said. "I see there are things
I can do and there arc decisions I

Stumbo became the first woman

Kentucky Court of Appeals and the
first women from Eastern Kentucky elected to the Court of Appeals.
"It is important that someone
from the Eastern Kentucky district

"I wasn't surprised," tfarrison
said. "We kind of keep track of
who's got what at the post and I
knew I had the most."
Harrison said he had worked a
lot of holidays because of federal
overtime offered and thought many
of the arrests had come during
those periods.
Harrison has been with Post 9
about four years and has been in
Aoyd County about a year, according to Trooper Mike Goble with
public affairs. He is originally from
Harlan County.
"This is a very high, very coveted award for troopers," Goble said.
The award was presented Friday

Good news for tourism
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
Prestonsburg Tourism commissioners learned Wednesday that
they ended the fiscal year 1994-95
in the black.
Ao Bartrum, CPA, presented the
results of her audit to the commissioners at their December meeting
on Wednesday. Bartrum told the
group that the tourism fund balance
on June 30, 1995, the end of the fiscal year was $78,860.
"The bottom line is you're under
budget," the accountant said.
Bartrum and tourism director
Fred James explained that new
accounting procedures regarding
the method for reporting the three
percent tourism tax had helped the
commission show a positive balance.
In her audit, Bartrum said that
previously revenue from the tax
was "recognized when it was actually received." With the new system, the revenue is recognized
when it "becomes measurable and
available," she stated in the audit.
James later explained that the
balance showed money "encumbered but not expended."
During her discussion of the
audit, Bartrum told commissioners
that she was concerned about missing documentation regarding the
payments to the Chamber of
Commerce. lames explained that
the Chamber of Commerce and
Prestonsburg
Tourism
share
expenses, such as a secretary's
salary, and that the Chamber writes
the check and tourism reimburses
the Chamber. Bartrum asked that
documentation be kept for auditing
purposes.
Commissioners approved the
audit.
In other business, James presented commissioners with a possible
Latta-(Continued from page one)
session in January.
Though she is the first tourism
secretary from Eastern Kentucky,
and perhaps the only member of
Patton's new cabinet with government experience, Latta said she
will serve all of Kentucky in her
new post.
"I'm proud to be the only Eastern
Kentuckian in the cabinet at this
point and I'm proud to be from Prestonsburg and Aoyd County," she
said. "I think the governor realizes
that tourism has great potential in
our area and throughout the state."
Latta will spend her weekdays in
Frankfort after her swearing-in
next week, but said she hoped to be
home, in Prestonsburg, on weekends. Her husband, Prestonsburg
attorney Cliff Latta, will maintain
his Jaw practice here, she added.

Festival. The logo was drawn by
designers for the Prestonsburg
Tourism brochure and James plans
to present it to the festival board at
its meeting next week. James also
showed commissioners a rough
draft of the new tourism brochure.
Also at the meeting, James discussed an upcoming tri-county promotion that will be broadcast on
cable companies in the area. The
broadcast will feature area tourism
directors with special guests who
will talk about tourism sites in the
region.
The next meeting of the tourism
commission will be held January 10

palachian Woman of the Year; and
receiving two Just Awards from the
Kentucky Women Advocates.
"I received the first award
from the Kentucky Women Advocates because of a dissenting view I
wrote while on the Court of Appeals," Stumbo said.
The case involved a woman
who, several years after a divorce,
sought to have the settlement set
aside because she was apparently
coerced to give away inherited
property.
"My opinion was the woman
had established sufficient evidence
to have a new hearing," Stumbo
said. "The Kentucky Women Advocates felt it was an important
case."
The second award from the organi7..ation was for Stumbo's support of a new rule that set up guidelines against biases of attorneys
and workers in the courtroom from
judges. The biases involve gender,
race, religion and other criteria.
"Without the rule, if an incident took place, there was no way
to punish or discipline judges,"
Stumbo said. "With the rule enacted, there is due process."
Stumbo became interested in
law while attending MSU, but didn't decide to enter law school until
after a year of working on a Master's degree in English Literature at
the University of Kentucky.
"I enjoy going to the office
every day," Stumbo said. "I sit on
the bench and hear from the best
lawyers in the state and the nation.
It is very exciting.
"As a justice on the Supreme
Court, I'm not bound by precedence," Stumbo said. "If a law is
improper or needs a change and if
enough of us decide the law needs
changing, it can happen. That is
what is wonderful about this position."
Not all the cases heard are
easy nor all the Jaws changed.
"The cases that are the most
difficult, intellectually and emotionally, are those involving children," Stumbo said. "I try and do
my very best' work with these cases
because of the nature of the victims."
As a Supreme Court justice,
Stumbo meets with the other justices one week each month to hear
oral arguments and to assign justices to write the opinions.
"We meet eleven times
throughout the year, we get July
off," Stumbo said. "The rest of the
time, we stay busy writing and
catching up on work. During that
time, I stay here in Prestonsburg to
work."
"I hope I've been doing the job
voters expect of me," Stumbo
added.
Stumbo has named Frank
Woodward as campaign treasurer
and Arnold Turner Jr. as campaign
chairman.
Stumbo is married to Attorney
Ned Pillersdorf, and they have
three daughters who attend Porter
Elementary School.

to learn to say "no" to the addition
of personnel or services when what
is in place is adequate. She added
that that has been difficult in Aoyd
County because the system is the
county's largest employer.
State board member Wade
Mountz said that made no difference.
"We're not a job factory,"
Mountz said. "You may think that
we're not very sympathetic. There
isn't much sympathy to generate.
We know it's not the same people,
but some of the old habits are still
there. Reality has to hit the road
down there with this board. It hasn't done that for the last five
years."
State officials also pointed out
that the school district would have
ended the 1994-95 school year in
the red if a double coal severance
tax payment had not been made.
"I'm concerned that they
would've ended last year in the red
if this coal tax hadn't have jumped
out of the closet," True said.
Floyd board chairman Ray
Brackett told state officials that the
school system's financial problems
should diminish when the district
hires a new superintendent. Brackett said that local board members
did not receive accurate information concerning the budget, but he
declined to say who provided that
misinformation.

"Customers have said they want to
deal with just one company."
He admitted that the consolidation would change the way competition controls the prices of services

charges would increase.
"The whole thing is controlled
by the consumer," he said. "If he
says he wants to pay for a service, a
business will respond."
Pikeville could be a local call for Floyd customers
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
If
the
Public
Service
Commission approves n request
from Bell South, residents of Floyd
County will be able to call Pike
County at a reduced rate.
"We're going to be creating a
local calling area," Paul Smith, a
spokesman for Bell South, said.
"And it primarily affects the people
of Floyd County."
The request, if approved, gives
customers three options. They can
keep their current service, which
includes free local calls and long
distance rates to Pikeville, or they
can choose two new services.
The first would allow the customer to have an extended local
calling area. The monthly rate
would be lowered and there would
be a charge for each call made in the
calling area.
Residence customers would pay
$9 per month plus the per-call
charge on all local calls (including
those to Pike County) based on distance, length, and time of day of the
call. The charge for the service for
businesses would be $30.
Under the second option, there
would be a flat fee of $28 for residence customers and $82 for business customers for unlimited calling
in the new calling area.
"This is, literally, the wave of the
future," Smith said. "Customers
have been asking for options and
we're giving them options."
He said he expects the commission to approve the application,
which was filed December 1, in the
next week or so and for the changes
to take place after the first of the
year. This is the fifth local calling
area change to be made in the
Kentucky over the last few years.
"This is the fifth phase to go with
four other phases over other parts of
the state that have been accepted,"
Smith said. "About 80 exchanges
have been involved."
The change is possible because
of some deregulations that occurred
after AT&T broke up in 1984. Other
legtslative bills, which further
deregulate the telecommunications
industry, have been approved by
Congress, but the House and Senate
bills differ and no compromise has
been reached. The bills would allow
even greater changes in the industry.
"They've had the bills for more
than two months and they've been
trying to put them together," Smith
said. "So far they haven't gotten
that far and it kind of looks shaky."
If regulations on the industry are
no longer in effect, local telephone
companies would be able to offer
additional services, such as local,
long distance, internet access and
even cable services.
Tel-Com in Harold can do that
now because the company was
small enough not to fall under the
regulations in place after the AT&T
break up, Smith said.
"Right now, the customer could
be serviced by a local telephone
company, a long distance company,
an intra-latta telephone company,

Editor:
We find it so amusing that you
would print Mr. Goble's letter on
the same page with an Agatha
Christie quote regarding archaeologists making the best husbands (the
older she gets, the more interested
he is in her). Is this perhaps your
subtle way of giving credibility to
the fact that the age bf this house is
indeed one of its many virtues?
Regardless of the history surrounding Mr. Samuel May, the one
certainty is that the May House is
the oldest dweHing in our area. This
structure would foreseeably be the
cornerstone for further development of our local culture. The
Mountain Arts Center will serve as
the framework in which they will
display our local performing arts.
The Jenny Wiley Theatre has been
a stable foundation for years. It
appears to us that our local civic
leaders are attempting to build the
infrastructure necessary to present
our culture and heritage to others.
We believe that Mr. Goble's letter attacking the May House, actually displays his frustration with
local politics. If this is indeed true,
then by all means, Mr. Goble,
please frre the battery of cannons
that warn of the pestilence infecting
the courthouse. Let us see the flash
and hear the roar. But please assure
us that the cannons are aimed in the
right direction and do not injure
those who are attempting to bring
about positive changes for the community.
Most assuredly the residents of
Corn Fork deserve to have a sewer
line; however, the restoration of the
May House has no bearing on
whether they install the Corn Fork
sewer line. If your intent is to help
the residents of Corn Fork obtain
the sewer line, do as the members
of the Friends of the May House
and form a committee to pursue
this worthwhile endeavor. Place
your efforts into pursuing grants
and other public monies to build
the sewer line. Meet with the
Friends of the May House; gain
from their experience with fundraising and securing grants.
We .would think that someone
with the Goble surname would
savor the opportunity to help preserve part of our local history and
culture. The Gobles have been in
Floyd County since the late 1700's.
We have had ancestors who participated in the Revolutionary War,
the War of 1812, and the War
Between the States. The Goble
family has played a pivotal and colorful role in local culture and I
would think that we would like to
do as much as possible to preserve
our local heritage. We should congratulate the Friends of the May
House and given them our full support. Remember, united we stand
:md divided we fall.

A Christmas
message
Editor:
In these days of talk of "family
values" and the "Christian" life, it
is easy to lose sight of the true
meaning of these words. But, for
five days in Eastern Kentucky,
there was a family who held those
concepts high for anyone to see.
Their husband, father, pawpaw,
uncle and friend, Dewey Conley,
had died. They gathered from all
over to honor his life, mourn his
death and celebrate his entry to his
new home.
Each day brought more and
more people to the house of his
gracefully grieving widow and his
family. Messages came from all
over the U.S. No one came or
called with a casual story, each life
he had touched had been made better by his presence in it. Over and
over his family saw the effect he
had on others and wished to be
blessed enough to touch even one
person in the way he had touched
many.
His was a family touched by
more than its share of life crises
and challenges over the years, yet,
as they came together to remember
him and celebrate his life, it suddenly was clear that the one thing
that always had held them together
was the spirit and love of this one
man.
Watching a family reform itself
after a death is a sad and anxious
thing, yet for this family the
reforming was merely a formality.
They knew at their core who and -.what they are, simply because they
are still Dewey's family.
As the search continues for a
way to live the "Christian" life and
to impart family values, perhaps all
that has to be done is to look at this
one small family in Eastern
Kentucky and take heart. The way
to live this life and give these values is by the living and doing. Of
course, it helps if you have a
Dewey Conley at the core of your
life.
As we face this Christmas sea- $
son of love and peace, maybe all of
those who knew Dewey Conley
and his love for the son of God will
take a few minutes and share his •
love and passion for peace with
another person. In this way, those •
who knew this warm and loving
man can give a Christmas gift to
this little part of the world that may
help everyone.

Quiet crowd watches as Betsy
Layne falls to Perry Central
Newsome scores 22 in 56-53 loss
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
You would have thought you were
watching a ru:t away game when Peny
Central visited Betsy Layne Thesday
night in high school basketball.
Usually, in a run away, there is no
cheering and excitement. But this was
not a run away. Both teams played
each other close until Peny Central
took the 56-53 win over Coach Junior
Newsome's ballclub. 1be crowd certainly wasn't into the game. The loudest applause was for the cheerleaders.
Junia point guard Rocky Newsome
scored a game-high 22 points for the
Bobcats in the losing cause. Chris
Hamilton finished with 13 points.
Betsy Layne proved the team could
play with the taller Peny Central team
getting two, three and often four shots
at the basket The problem was converting the offensive rebounds.
1be fourth quarter was drastic for
'the Bobcats as they scored only two
field goals and six points. 1be game
was tied at 47 entering the final stanza
and tied again at 49 and 50 before
Peny Central took a 52-50 lead on a
layup by Roy Wells. Three free throws
by Bill Summer extended the Perry
Central lead to four points, 55-51, with
just 22 seconds left to play. Wtllie
Meade hit an eight-foot jumper with
eight second remaining for a 55-53
game. Summer hit the back side of a
two-shot foul for the final 56-53 score.
Peny Central owned the biggest lead
as the team came firing in the first quarter, getting inside the Bobcat's defense.
Perry Central went in front 16-6 quickly
behind the inside play of Joe Catron.
Catron scored a layup inside for a 2-0
game. On a strong move inside,
Hamilton tied the game at two, before
consecutive baskets by Summer made it
an S.3 game. Kevin Campbell's rebound
basket made it a 16-6 game before the
Bobcats began to saar.ch their way bock
into the game.
After solving the Peny Central
Compton, Tackett
combine to lead South
Floyd past Pike girls
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It took only the second game of
the season for Coach Henry Webb's
South Floyd Lady Raiders to notch
their first win of the basketball season when they posted a 59-43 win
over the Pikeville Lady Panthers
this past Monday night at Raider
Arena.
South Aoyd dropped its first
game of the season, 44-29, to the
same Pikeville team in the first
round of the Lady Panthers
Invitational tournament last week.
Tiffany Compton and Chrissy
Tackett combined for 31 points to
lead the Lady Raiders. Compton
tossed in 16 points and Tackett
scored 15. Jenny Meade scored in
double figures with ten points while
Melissa Tackett had eight points.
Christy Compton led Pikeville
with 11 points. Charity Burke
added eight points. Sarah Hickman
and Vivian Kimber1ain each scored
six points.
The two teams played even the
first quarter with South Floyd leading 16-12 after the first quarter.
Meade had five points in the initial
period for the Lady Raiders and
Melissa Tackett drilled a three point
basket while Compton scored four
points.
Coach Webb said his ballclub
has learned from the earlier loss to
Pikeville.
"We played a lot better than we
did the first game," he said. "We
took care of the ball, didn't turn it
over as much. We had better shot
selection. It was just a better overall
game for us."
In· a 15-4 run in the second period, the Lady Raiders went to the
locker room at the half with a commanding 31-16 lead. Chrissy
Tackett took charge of the Lady
Raider offense in the second period
and scored 13 points, including a
three-point basket. She was a perfect six of six from the charity
stripe.
South Aoyd stopped Pikeville's
leading scorer, Burke, with just
eight points. She scored 16 in the
first meeting between the two
teams.
"We rebounded better this time
against them," Webb said. "We
were blocking out on the boards
and not giving up the second and
third shots."
South Floyd outscored Pikeville
18-13 in the fourth quarter and was
never threatened in winning by 16
points.
Crystal Tackett netted five points
for South Aoyd. Misty Berger had
three and Deana Holbrook scored
(See South Floyd, page 8A)
press, Betsy Layne had a 9-0 run to
close the margin to one point, 16-15,
after the first quarter. Newsome
grabbed a rebound and stuck it back
in, drilled a three-pointer and Jason
Tackett's rebound basket made it a
16-13 game. Newsome canned two
free throws with six seconds remaining in the initial quarter for a 16-15
score.
The lead exchanged hands four
times in the second period and the
game was tied three times before
Peny Central emerged leading 32-31
at the half. Central built a slim 24-22
lead. Betsy Layne scored the next
seven points to claim its biggest lead
of the game, 29-24, on a rebound basket by Willie Meade.
Brandon Thompson completed a
three-point play and Catron's easy
basket down low tied the game at 29
with 1:57 to play in the half. Betsy
Layne led 31-29 before DJ. Simms
buried a three-pointer to give Peny
Central the one point lead at the half.
Newman had two baskets inside
for Betsy Layne in the latter part of
the third period that twice gave the
Bobcats a four-point lead at 45-41 and
again at 47-43. But Catron hit a short·
jumper and Simms' layup ahead of
the horn tied the game at 47-47.
Betsy Layne's final lead came at
49-47 in the fourth quarter on a lay-in
by Hamilton.
Pike Centf!ll placed three players
in double figures led by Qitron's 14
points. Campbell had 11 points and
Simms finished with ten. Summer
scored eight
Meade and Tackett scored six each
for Betsy Layne. Newman had four

First half woes stifle Cats
at Magoffin County, 79-74
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It may have been first-game jit·
ters or first-half jitters, but it certainly affected the Prestonsburg
Blackcats when they traveled to
Magoffin County last Friday night
to face last year's 15th Regional
runners-up.
Coach Jackie Pack's Blackcats
had to play catch up for the whole
game and could get no closer than
three points in the second half as
they dropped a 79-74 first-game
decision to the Hornets.
Sophomore Andy Jarvis Jed the
Blackcats' scoring parade with 24
points. Senior Jason Bevins was
strong under the basket and finished
with 18 points. Bret James, a solid
floor leader, tossed in 14 points and
point guard Wes Samons had 12
points.
Johnny Humphrey led all scorers
with 31 points for Magoffin
County. Brian Helton finished with
15 points and Jason Robinette

scored 14. Jason Wages had 12.
"We just dug ourselves a hole in
the first half," Pack said, "and never
could get out of it. It was a game of
halves. We played poorly the first
half, but played a strong second
half."
Prestonsburg had nine turnovers
in the first half, but committed only
two in the second half as they took
better care of the ball. Prestonsburg
fell behind by as many as 16 points
in the third quarter, but came roaring back in the fourth period to cut
the lead to four points with 7:28 to
play.
"We just couldn't get the margin
any less than three points," Pack
said. "We JUSt traded baskets the
rest of the way. We opened jittery
the first half and just didn't get into
our offense."
Prestonsburg hit ten of 29 field
goal attempts in the first half for a
cool 35 percent. In the second half,
the Blackcats got more involved in
their game plan and shot a sizzling '60 percent, hitting 20 of 3 I attempts
from the field. Prestonsburg

Belfry solves press
in 65-55 win over
Prestonsburg
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
•

.,
,
The Belfry Lady Pirates emphasized once more why they arc
ranked number one in the 15th
Region.
The taller Lady Pirates solved
early the pressure defense Coach
Harold Tackett's Lady Blackcats
employed in their first three games
and went on to post a 64-55 win in
one of the top regional games.
Crystal Layne led the Lady
Blackcats with her I8 points that
included three three-point baskets.
April Newsome added II and center Ladonna Slone scored ten
points.
Jamie Heflin led all scorers with
23 points for Belfry. Debra McCoy
added 11 as did Barbara Mutter.
The second quarter was a disaster for Prestonsburg as Belfry went
on a 21-8 romp that netted the team
a 35-23 halftime lead. Prestonsburg
Jed at the first stop, 15-14, behind
the scoring of Layne who had eight
first-quarter points. But the second
quarter was all Belfry as the
Prestonsburg traps were not there
and the Lady Pirates scored some
easy baskets off of it.
Prestonsburg picked up some
offensively in the third period as
the team cut into the Belfry lead
and narrowed it to a six-point game,
45-39, with Layne scoring seven
points in the quarter. But Coach
Tackett sent his team to a half-court
game, something they haven't done
this season, and Belfry went over
and took complete charge.
Heflin, who had six points at the
half, exploded in the fourth quarter
against the half-court game of
Prestonsburg and scored 13 points.
April Newsome got involved in the
Prestonsburg offense in the final period and tossed in six, but the Lady
Blackcats still struggled at the free
throw line - as they did in the previous three games. They hit just 15 of
31 attempts in the game and missed
nine in the fourth period alone.
It was Francis who carried
Belfry early with eight points in the
first period. She had ten at the half.
Prestonsburg stopped her in the
second half as she went scoreless,
but it was Heflin who picked up the

Melvin past Osborne, 52-46
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It has been a strange grade
school season so far, according to
Osborne Coach Roger Johnsoh. He
can't figure out what team is to be a
favorite to win the county tournament this year.
"Melvin beats us. We come back
and beat Melvin. They beat us
again. They beat McDowell.
Stumbo beats them. It is confusing
right now," he said.

baskets, scoring ten points.
Melvin· was a two-point-better

Eagles trailed 37-35 going into the
fourth quarter. In the final stanza,
Williams buried two more threepointers and Tackett hit four of six
free throws down the stretch to
secure the win for Melvin.
Johnson evened his scoring
throughout the game with seven
first-quarter points, six in the second, and four in each the third and
fourth periods. Johnson had 15
rebounds for Osborne. Elliott
pulled down six. Johnson was ten
of 15 from the field.

Couple say 911 address caused mix-up
by Chris Cochran
and Lou Watson
The Appalachian News Express
When Reca and Glenn Carroll's
trailer caught on fire at 4 a.m.,
November 13, friends and neighbors immediately called the county's relatively new 911 system.
What happened next depends on
who one asks.
'They (the Upper Pond Creek
Fire Department) went the wrong
way," Reca Carroll said. "We used
our 911 address and they went the
wrong way."
Carroll said before the 911 system went into effect, her home
address was listed as Octavia
Hollow. With the new system in
effect, Octavia Hollow became
Pinsonfork Road.
Carroll said that change caused
the station, located only three miles
from her home, to travel to Pinsonfork, which is in the other direction.
More than seven calls were
placed to the 911 dispatcher before
anyone arrived on the scene,
Carroll said, and it was one of the
firemen who later told her of the
mistake in directions.
"That did not happen," 911 coordinator Doug Tackett said. 'There
was a fire, the fire department was
dispatched, they went directly to the
address."
, Tackett said transcripts of the
911 calls that night indicate the first
call about the Carrolls• fire came in
at 4 a.m., and within 17 minutes,
firemen were on the scene.
"I would say that's a pretty good
time for a volunteer department in
the middle of the night," Tackett
said. "I talked to the chief of the
Pond Creek station personally. They
had no trouble finding the location."
However, one Pike County
ambulance technician and one volunteer fireman, who asked not to be
identified, said they had also
encountered problems with the 911
system.
"I tell my family and friends to
call the ambulance service directly
instead of 911," the ambulance
technician said. "That way we can
talk to the person and find out
exactly where they live."
The fireman said address problems had been encountered, but
calling the fire station directly was
not a good idea because the station
could not respond until it was dis-
patched by the 911 system.
"Calling directly to an ambulance outpost would be fine because
they are a commercial enterprise,"
the fireman said. "But we are funded by the county and we cannot go
anywhere until that 911 dispatcher
tells us when and where."
Belfry Fire Department Chief
Rexel Jackson said his station
assisted the Upper Pond Creek
department that night and he
noticed no problems.
"Problems with addresses can
happen, but I don't think it would
have affected their response time
very much," he said.
Jackson said other than prank
calls, the 911 system has worked
pretty well for the Belfry station. He
did admit, however, his station and
other stations had not received
maps listing the new 91 I addresses.
"The dispatchers have been
trained extensively in using our new
911 address names and residents
should continue to give their 911
number when calling in an emergency," he said.
Carroll is currently starting up a
petition to get Pinsonfork Road
renamed Octavia Hollow and is
calling for a meeting of all Upper
Pond Creek residents to discuss
their options.
"I'm not trying to make trouble,"
she said. "But somebody screwed
up and it could have cost someone
their life.
"What if a child had been in that
trailer?" she asked. "Is it going to
take someone getting killed before
they realize this 911 system isn't
working?"

City of Van Lear to officially close next week
by Tony Fyffe
The Paintsville Herald
The city of Van Lear, which was
dissolved by voters in November, is
scheduled to· officially close next
week.
The official shutdown has left
the two men who sought the city's
incorporation five years ago, bitter
and upset. Now that the city government has been dissolved, they
say, the community will never get
the attention it deserves from the
county fiscal court.
"Incorporation was the only way
Van Lear was going to get anything," former City Commissioner
Tim Barker said.
Under state law, cities that are
dissolved by voters formally close
their doors 30 days after the election is certified. Election results in
Johnson County were certified by
the local election board November
13, according to Deputy County
Clerk Linda Sparks.
That means Van Lear's dissolution becomes effective December 13.
City officials have not been at
City Hall for several weeks; a ":to
trespassing" sign has already been
posted on the door.
City Clerk Linda Cantrell said
Monday that she will contact the
Big Sandy Area Development
District in Prestonsburg to find out
what steps must be taken to close
the city down.
"I guess I'll have to get the
records in good order and tum them
over to the county," Cantrell said.
State law says that the fiscal
court of the county in which a dissolved city is located is to assume
the city's assets/liabilities. Cantrell
said Van Lear has about $4,000 in
the bank, but she didn't immediately know the amount of its debt.
"We owe First National Bank
about $11,000 for old railroad property we bought, she said.
The city was initially dissolved
by Van Lear voters in May 1994.
City officials, however, challenged
the vote in Johnson Circuit Court,
claiming the election was illegal.
In June, Judge Stephen N.
Frazier ordered a new election. ruling that former Mayor Paul Deaton
did not present to the county clerk a
certified copy of the petition
requesting the first referendum.
Residents voted 305-179 in
favor of dissolution November 7.
City officials decided not to challenge the second election, saying
voters had spoken.
Barker and another former city
commissioner, Demart Bowling,
spearheaded the effort to incorporate Van Lear in 1990. They said
they are upset that current officials
did not contest the election. They
maintain that the issue was improperly put on the ballot and that official dissolution must be carried out
by Frazier.
Bowling questioned how the city
could dissolve when it has more
debts than assets. He pointed to a
state law that prohibits a city with
"any debt in excess of the assets of
the city" from dissolving.
"When we incorporated, we had
to go by the letter of the law,"
Bowling said. "So I think the same
thing should be done to dissolve it."
"If it's done right and the people
are for it, then I would be satisfied,"
said Barker, who claims that many
residents who don't live in the
incorporated area improperly voted
in the city election in November.
Assistant Attorney General Tom
Emerson, who specializes in municipal law, could not be reached
Tuesday for comment.
Van Lear's dissolution will leave
three city employees without jobs,
including Cantrell.
Beauty residents evacuated Saturday
A ruptured line carrying propane
liquid caused the evacuation of 12
to 15 residents in Charlie Maynard
Hollow near Beauty Saturday night.
Martin County Disaster and
Emergency
Services
(DES)
Director Dallas Sweeney ordered
the evacuation after numerous residents complained of becoming ill
from the fumes.
"Most of those who became ill
complained of headaches, nausea,
respiratory problems, and vomiting," Sweeney explained. "Several
people were transported to the hospital."
The evacuation began at 10:30
p.m. and residents were allowed to
return to their homes shortly after
midnight.
Sweeney said he ordered the
evacuation because, "At the time I
had no idea what we were dealing
with. It was canceled after personnel from Kentucky Hydrocarbon
told us there was no real danger."
The fact that nothing was known
about the contents of the pipeline
raises questions. Sweeney said,
"Under the Community Right to
Know Act, they are supposed to
have material data sheets on file
with the local DES office. I don't
have them."
In doing a bit of research,
Sweeney said, "I have found out
that propane liquid is flammable,
displaces oxygen, will freeze, ,and
forms clouds low to the ground."
Betty McCoy is one of the residents who was evacuated Saturday.
She said, "We have all had a
headache and raw throat for two
weeks. It would go away during the
day while we were at work and
return when we got home."
Sweeney has been having problems finding out who owns the ruptured line and who is responsible
for its repair. Yesterday, crews from
Ashland Petroleum began working
on the problem. But Sweeney said,
"I feel like I have had to twist their
arms to get any information from
them. We originally thought the line
belonged to Union Carbide. As it
turned out, they sold it to Kentucky
Hydrocarbon 15 years ago."
The situation of not knowing the
rightful owner is nothing new.
Sweeney said, "It seems like we
have this problem anytime there is a
leak that represents a threat to the
public safety. It has happened more
than once and nobody wants to
claim it."
As of Tuesday evening, an exact
damage assessment was not available.
A former Johnson County
Sheriff's Department employee
accused of stealing tax money is
now the defendant in a civil suit.
Sheriff Don McFaddin on
Wednesday, November 30, sued his
former tax clerk, Michelle
"Mickey" Woods of Prestonsburg,
and a South Dakota company that
provided her surety bond. In his
suit, McFaddin attempted to recover the money Woods allegedly
stole.
Woods was indicted in May by a
Johnson Coumy grand jury and
charged with 27 counts of theft by
failure to make required disposition
of property. The indictment claims
that from May 2 to December 6 of
last year, Woods stole $12,619 in
property tax money by destroying
the green slip and pocketing the
money.
Woods, who was fired after the
money was found missing, has
pleaded not guilty. Her trial is
scheduled for March 20 in Johnson
Circuit Court.
The amount listed in the lawsuit
is $16,200. McFaddin said Monday
that the additional $3,58 I in tax
money was not included in the
felony indictment because those
individual transactions would be
considered misdemeanors.
''I'd say there were about 25 to
30 misdemeanors," McFaddin
said.
The sheriff said one reason he
filed the suit was because the bonding company, Western Surety
Company of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, has refused to pay the
money pending the outcome of the
trial.
McFaddin says in his suit that he
demanded that the money be paid
back, but that the funds have not
been received.
He says he wrote a letter on July
25 to the bonding company asking
that the money be paid. A notice of
discovery was provided to the company on January 12 and a proof of
loss on August 7, the suit says.
"Western Surety Company is
obligated, pursuant to the surety
bond issued to the defendant,
Woods, to repay an amount up to
$10,000 of the loss suffered by the
Johnson
County
Sheriff's
Department and the citizens of
Johnson County as a result of the
defalcation of the defendant,
Woods," the lawsuit says.
The suit says the sheriff and the
residents of Johnson County are
entitled to recover the money
because they are "third party beneficiaries under the contract:
between Woods and Western
Surety."
If Woods is convicted at the
trial, McFaddin said Monday that
the bonding company would automatically be liable for the $10,000.
The lawsuit w:1s filed on
McFaddin's behalf by Paintsville
attorney C.K. Belhasen.

Drug arrest roundup
Drug-use problem in
local schools discussed
A group of about 75 people, represented by elected
officials, civic, school and religious leaders, parents
and teachers, gathered in an informal meeting Tuesday
evening at the Lloyd M. Hall Community Center to
address a possible drug problem that exists in Magoffin
middle school and high school.
The common theme that surfaced from the round
table discussion appeared to be a need for involvement.
Although there were no bases established that could
provide figures as to how many students are using
drugs, or as to how widespread the problem might be,
it is believed about 82 percent of the student population
had witnessed drug use.- Salyersville Independent

News of the Weird
by Chuck
The family of Santo Alba filed a lawsuit in Boston
against the late Mr. Alba's employer, Raytheon. Alba's
workload had increased, causing him (said the family)

COURTROOM ANTICS
-In May, Hawaii's Intermediate Court of Appeals
set aside the firearms conviction of James G. Kahoonei
because his bedroom was illegally searched. The
search was conducted by Kahoonei's mother, but the
court ruled that she was searching not as a mother but
as an "agent" of the government in looking for
weapons.
- In March, Robert Licciardi, 36, who was freshly
convicted of killing his dtsabled father in order to get
his hands on the family fortune and who had ac.:ted as
his own attorney during his trial, claimed in a letter to
the Stockton (Calif.) Record that he had incompetent
counsel, that the judge was "unfair," "prejudiced" and
"unreasonable" for allowing Licciardi to represent
himself.
In April, a federal court refused to rcvtew the
Novato, Calif., small claims court decision in favor of
Phillip Schlenker for $65 from the local cable TV company. Schlenker won the judgment for a breach of contract in that he was unable to enjoy "Monday Night
Football" during 1993 and 1994 because the cable
company was feuding with the local ABC-TV station
in San Francisco.
-In July in Chicago, a county circuit judge, James
G. Smith, was transferred to a lower-profile job
because of his remarks during a medical malpractice
trial involving a Hispanic victim. According to the
Chicago Sun-Times, when defense attorneys pointed
out that there had once been a shooting in the malpractice vtctim's fl\Illily (which could have led to the victim's subsequent learning disabilities), Judge Smith
said, "Of course, [shooting guns) is a common practice
among Hispanics.... Every New Year's, I had to dismiss cases because it was common for them to step out
and shoot at anything that was out there."
FETISHES ON PARADE
- Stewart R. Flaharty, 64, a 22-year veteran
Friday, December 8, 1995 BS
morgue worker at York (Pa.) Hospital, was fired in
August and charged with abuse of a corpse after he was
caught by a coworker making personal photographs of
the nude body of a woman in her early 20s who had
just died in an automobile crash.
-Stephen N. Porco, 28, was sentenced to six years
in prison for a series of auto burglaries attributed in
part to his lust for women's purses, from whtch he has
suffered for at least ten years. An authority close to the
case estimated Porco had stolen more than 500 purses.
-In Somerset, Pa., in July, Mr. Ali Burke, 25, was
arrested and charged with disorderly conduct at a
McDonald's after he squirted ketchup on the nose of
the Hamburgler and licked it off.
GEOGRAPHIC CENTERS OF WEIRD
- Japan: Among the thriving new businesses in
Tokyo is a "convenience agency" that, among other
things, supplies guests at funerals and weddings so that
the families will not lose face by sparse attendance.
And an account in Japan Times in July reported that
"thousands" of Japanese have paid to take three-day
excursiOns to Rio de Janeiro to visit the gravesite,
childhood home and museum of the late Formula 1
racer Ayrton Senna. And Tokyo's first "nap hotel"
opened earlier this year, featuring tents in a large room,
where weary salesmen can crash for a half-hour at a
time for rates of $3 to $6.

It snowed again.
For a bunch of people, that meant the
world came to a temporary end.
Wonder how something so calmingly
beautiful as a blanket of snow can be so
nervewrackingly pesky?
And, how can anyone who writes for
a living get away with using an adverb
like 'nervewrackingly'?
Never mind.
Believe it or not, snow is a common
winter occurrence in many countries
not closely situated to the equator and it
has been for many, many years.
In fact, scientists now believe that
snow played a key roll in the evolution
of man, forcing him during the Ice Age
to come down from the trees and into
caves, where the population grew by
leaps and bounds because there wasn't
anything to do but .leap and bound (if
you catch our drift).
We also know that snow was a considerable menace in more modern
times, as recently as the 1930s and 40s,
because our parents were forced during
those days to walk barefoot to and from
school in knee deep snow, uphill both
ways, with sacks of rocks over their
shoulders.
The rocks, we suppose, were to
either assist traction or to pelt any
abominable snowmen who might try to
snatch their lunch money.
Those horror stories from our parents' school days are no doubt why our
kids usually don't go to school when it
snows.
While we have all this technology,
space age communications and most of
our kids have shoes, travelling uphill to
and from school is still a big problem
when it snows.
And, since most of us have forgotten
what it's like to walk to the TV to
change the channel, let alone walk to
our schools which, thanks to modernization, aren't located anywhere near
where we live, snow days are vacation
days for our kids.
The bad news about that is that
despite all our technology, a little bit of
snow can bring the learning process to
a dead stop.
The good news, though, is that with
no lunch money to swipe, abominable
snowmen are all but extinct.

Voices to ring out with the
sound of Christmas
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
•
Voices from across the state will
ring out in unison Tuesday night
when more than 5,000 people from
about 100 school and church groups
will gather for the eighth annual
Kentucky Christmas Chorus.
And about 100 of those voices will
be from Floyd County.
Students from Betsy Layne
Elementary, Betsy Layne High School
and The Piarist School are expected
to travel to Lexington for the event.
"This is the first year I have taken
any elementary students," Sandra
Tackett, chorus director at Betsy
Layne Elementary, said.
She said she learned of the event
from Mike Cooley, chorus director at
Betsy Layne High School. "We're
going to be riding the bus with him,"
she said. "I think I'm taking about 16
students."
She said the chorus is a chance to
broaden her students' horizons. "I was
looking for things for the elementary
group to do," she said. "This is a
chance for them to sing with other
choirs."
During the event, the groups combine to sing together some familiar
Christmas songs. "They sent us a
whole book of Christmas songs," she
said.
There will also be soloists performing.
"They're excited. They've never
been in something this large," Tackett
said. "They're a little bit frightened,
but it's just the unexpected."
She said she anticipates the sixth.
seventh, and eighth graders to enjoy
themselves once the event begins.
This is the second year Cooley has
taken students. "It is wonderful," he
said. "It's a chance for students to
hear the Lexington Singers and the
Lexington Philharmonic."
He said he learned of the chorus from a friend. "It's a great
motivational tool for the
students," Cooley said.
"It lets them hear it
the way it's supposed to be
done."
He said he
plans to continue the tradition of
attending
the event.
"It's just a
wonderful way
to kick off
the holiday season."
Lynde
Shoup,
English and
drama
instructor at
The Piarist
School is planning on taking
several students if their permission slips come in soon
enough.
"Right now, we have five who
have permission to go," she said. "I
thought it would be a good
experience for them to see it
in action instead of just in
a book."
The three groups
are joining 118 others for the chorus.

"Have you ever worn that outfit before?" I asked.
"I wore it to the last dance. Everybody liked it."

"Okay. I love you," she rephed, as she closed the

All of a sudden she looked like a three-year-old

Ace Ventura:
When Nature Calls
A few years back when I used to watch "In Living
Color," I was struck by the sheer hilarity ofJim
Carrey. In many ways, he reminded me of my
favorite comedic genius, Robin Williams. Carrey
lived up to the promise of his talent and is now a
huge box-office success. He commands obscene
amounts of money for his films.
The first "Ace Ventura" flick was a surprise hit. It
was fresh and funny and served to really dish up
Carrey's wacky humor. Unfortunately, this sequel
falls far short of that.
Carrey is back as Ace. When we first see him, he
is hiding out m an ashram in the Himalayas where he
has gone to recuperate from a tragic incident involving an unfortunate raccoon. Think "Cliffhanger" (Sly
Stallone) and you get the picture. Ace's assignment
involves going to Africa (Nibia, a fictional country)
in order to locate a missing animal, an albino bat.
The bat is sacred to the Wahchati tribe. It must be
located before the Wahchati princess marries the
prince of a rival tribe, the Wahchutus. If not, the two
tribes will go to war.
Ace's bosses are stereotypical English upper-crust,
stuffy gentlemen. Tom between two such diverse cultures, Carrey is given plenty of room for comedic
takeoffs and mimicking. Unfortunately, it's the sort of
thing you see coming and amounts to a plethora of
anticlimactic moments.
Stay home and wait for the video. This film is
nothing more than a showcase for Carrey's funny
faces and double-takes. Even fans would find this a
bit wearing.

HOME TIPS
ORGANIZER-Here is a simple way to keep jewelry neat and
organized. Cut the tops off plastic
egg cartons. Line dresser drawers
with them-they fit together perfectly.
Each compartment is just right
for pairs of earrings, rings or pins.
Rita K., Baltimore, Md.
BREAD WRAPPERS-Put
your hand into an empty bread
wrapper and make like a puppet.
It's great for picking up dog doo
while walking your pet. Pick up and
just tie to carry home to put into
your trash. Louise W., Bronx, N.Y.
FILL IT UP-To save money, I
pump gas for my car myself. After
each fill-up, my hands were dirty
and smelled of gasoline.
One day, about a year ago, I purchased a pair of cotton garden
gloves to use at the pumps. Now my
hands stay clean, there is no smell
of gas fumes on them, and I can fill
up and go on my way without the
usual restroom hand-washing.
Laura P., Bethlehem, Pa.
SHOE BAG-Our house has
just one bathroom, where my husband and I share everything, including shelf space. He is always pushing my personal items, such as hair
spray, lotions and powder, aside to
get his.
To eliminate the problem, I purchased a plastic shoe bag at a dollar
store and hung it on the back of the
bathroom door. I put my things in
each pocket, and the bag color
matches my bathroom.
It's nice knowing where everything is now and not having to look
for it. Even my husband thinks it's
pretty neat! Sarah N., Bakersfield,
Calif.
WINTER
GREENERYInstead of putting artificial flowers
in my window-box planters during
the winter, I fill them with birdseed.
I also shuck ears of corn and
spread the kernels in my empty
birdbath. Watching the colorful
birds adds as much cheer to my life
as do the flowers and bathing birds
in spring and summer. Tara C.,
Roanoke, Va.
STOP THE RUST-Most of us
keep aerosol cans under the bathroom and kitchen sinks. Some of
the cans rust on the bottom (from
the dampness of the faucets) and
make marks on the shelf paper.
I have found that the cans with
the flat plastic tops can be turned
upside-down. For the ones that
don't have a flat top, I simply wrap
the bottom with a piece of plastic
wrap secured with a rubber band.
No more marks. Chris V., Boca
Raton, Fla.
PENCIL CADDY-I broke one
of my favorite cups so I glued it
together and used it for a pencil
caddy. Lisa C., Fair£:ax, Va.
DOG TAGS-I always had a
hard time getting my dog's new
license and rabies tags on his collar.
They always come with a small ring
to attach them.
I discovered that it is much easier to slip them onto a plain key ring,
and it goes onto the collar easily,
too. Edith J., Indiana, Pa.
COMPUTER SAVVY-My
tips concern computers and primarily involve saving energy for the
benefit of the environment as well
as saving money.
Keep the printer turned off. Most
people have a system set up so that
one switch turns everything on; as a
result, the printer sits idle 90 percent of the time that the computer is
on. This is especially important
with a laser printer, which operates
by heat and is quite expensive.
Further, if one considers all the
printers sitting idle in all the offices
and homes of this nation, it is possible to imagine the size of the savings. When ready to print, simply
flip the switch on the printerquick and easy. Laura D.,

PASS IT ON-Since we get so
many catalogs in the mail, after
looking through them, I give them
to nursing homes and senior-citizen
centers.
Many of the people there are
unable to get to the malls and this
way, they are able to shop through
these catalogs. Michele P.,
Hammond, Ind.
TUNING IN
Our favorite fairy tales almost
always ended with ... "And they all
lived happily ever after." But happy
new beginnings don't happen only
to fairy tale characters. Sometimes
they happen to real people.
All this is by way of telling you
not to miss the ABC Sunday Night
Movie airing December 17, called
"Dare to Love," starring Josie
Bissett ("Melrose Place"), Jason
Gedrick ("Murder One"), Chad
Lowe ("Life Goes On") and veteran
actors James B. Sikking and Jill
Eikenberry. The film is based on the
true story of Jessica Wells, a young
woman, played with exquisite sensitivity by Bissett, who spent years
tormented by schizophrenia. Jason
Gedrick plays Patrick, the young
man who never stops loving her.
Today, thanks to her courage, and a
new medication, Jessica has
returned to a normal life which she
shares with the man who never
stopped believing he'd get back the
woman be loved.
On a more whimsical note, ABC
now has two commitments for
prime-time series from Jim Henson
Productions. The first is "Muppets
. Live," (with several new characters) which has already started pro-
his dad. Justus suggested A.J. move
into
another
career.
Using
Katherine's tip, federal agents made
a major discovery. Mac brought
Robin home and Jason reached out
his hand to her. Sonny sold his share
of Luke's Club to Lucy. Edward's
career advice could backfire on
Lois. To Alan and Monica's relief,
Emily chose to stay with them. Wait
To See: Torn begins to face his
nightmares.
GUIDING LIGHT: Griffin
continued to try to stir things up in
Springfield, but Marcus refused to
bec0me part of it. Meanwhi,le, Hart
confronted Roger about Peter.
Dinah was desperate to find proof
that l\llarclls did not kill Cutter.
Brent, meanwhile, concocted another plan to destroy Lucy. Michelle
had some surpiises for Ed and Rick.
After running into Hawk at the children's carousel, Reva faced a desperate decision about her future
with Alan. Amanda is determined to
win back Ross' affections. Wait To
See: Abigail's feelings for Rick
could create a new problem for her.
ONE
LIFE TO
LIVE:
Keneally, the Irish innkeeper,
warned Marty not to trust Patrick.
Later, Patrick was upset when
Marty voiced her doubts and called
for the police. But Patrick escaped

Repair Damaged
Hair With A New
Technological
Discovery
(NAPS)-Forget the
advice we followed for ~
years. Research now
shows that brushing your
hair 100 times each
evening and other daily
tasks such as washing and
blowdrying actually damage hrur by causing it to
lose one of its vital elements--ceramide.
You may be familiar
with the word ceramide
from skin care products.
But ceramide found in the
hair is different. Ceramide
is the natural "cemen~"
that secures the cuticle
scales together and r,rotects it. When ceramide is
lost, the cuticle scaleo; can
weaken and fall off,
resulting in unhealthy,
damaged hair.
With more and more
women pursuing active ~
lifestyles, "hair abuse" is
on the rise. According to
L'Oreal research, the
average strand of hair
goes through 275 shampoos and episodes of
dryer heat-often at temperatures of more than
175°F! When you add
brushlng, combing, coloring, penning and exposure to the sun's UV rays
to the equation, it's no
wonder that 58 percent of
women claim to have
damaged, fragile or fine
hair.
Can anything be done
to prevent the irreparable•
damage caused by the loss
of ceramide? Fortunately,
the answer is yes. After
ten years of research, scientists from L'Oreal have
found a way to replicate
natural ceramide with a
molecule
called
Ceramide-R, which is
only
available
in
Fortavive Shampoos and
Conditioners. When you
use Fortavive every day,
Ceramide-R replaces natural ceramide by filling in
the gaps between the cuticle scales. The cuticles
then lie flat, ensuring a'W
smooth
texture
and
shinier hair.
Repairing your hair
and preventing damage
couldn't be easier. By
using
Fortavive
Performance shampoos
and conditioners with
Ceramide-R on a daily
basis,
hair
becomes
healthier and fortified.
Every day you lose
ceramide. Aren't you glad
there's now a way to

Deficit plan called 'pitiful,' but may get okay
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
•
State school board officials called the
Floyd County School System's proposed
deficit reduction plan "pitiful,'' but agreed
· Tuesday evening to recommend full board
approval of the plan.
That
recommendation
stipulates,
though, that a more detailed proposal be
submitted by the Floyd County Board of
Education to the state board at its February
meeting.
Local school officials were called to
Lexington Tuesday to address an anticipat-
ed million dollar deficit expected by the
end of this fiscal year and a local board-approved plan to erase that red ink.
The issue was discussed Tuesday by the
state board's committee for management
support, chaired by state board member
Craig True.
True called the deficit reduction plan
"pitiful" because it lacked enough detail,
and he asked_local officials to explain how
the system ended up so deep in the red.
Interim supenntcnder1l Ed Allen responded that much of the deficit could be
attributed to overstaffing and a shrinking
student population. Allen said that during
the past five years, staffing in the Floyd district had increased by 224 jobs while enrollment declined by nearly 700 students.
State board member Wade Mountz, a
member of the board's management support committee noted after that explanation
was offered that "it doesn't take a rocket
scientist" to figure out how the fiscal crisis
arose.
Floyd board chairman Ray Brackett also
appeared before the state board's committee, pointing out that the board had
trimmed roughly $100,000 from the deficit
by reducing fees paid to the sheriff for tax
collections, and he contended that local

board members had been given incorrect
information concerning the system's financial situation. He did not say who provided
that disinformation.
True asked Brackett if he thought incorrect information had been purposely provided the local board, and Brackett responded he would comment on that question after seeing the local district's audit,
which is expected to be reviewed by the
local board next month.
True also noted that state board members had received a letter from the Aoyd
County Education Association, urging the
state board not to approve the deficit reduc-

It may not be called the flu by
the Center for Disease Control, but
it's making some elementary students very sick.
About 30 percent of the students were out of school at Stumbo
Elementary early this week with a
flu-like virus.
"It's just starting to affect attendance," Geoff Belcher, spokesman
for the school system, said Tuesday. "Today's the first day that I
knew there were many out."
According to Ed Allen, superintendent, the virus causing the decrease in attendance hasn't been
confirmed as flu. "I don't know if it
is flu or not. Some school dtstricts
have had a problem, but the Center
for Disease Control said there are
no confirmed cases of flu in Kentucky. I do know it is making these
kids sick."
He said only Stumbo had been

schools are down some, but Sturn-

About 130 students at Stumbo
Elementary were not in school
Monday, Allen ·said. For the system, that means a loss of about
$2,000 in average daily attendance
revenue from the state for each day
those students are out. But he said
parents should keep their kids
home, if they are sick.
"If the children are sick, obviously they should be at home," he
said. "But we've found that even if
we close schools it doesn't speed
things up because people aren't
home. They're out at the area stores
and stuff."
He said there are no plans to
close the school system or even
Stumbo until the bug runs its
course.
"That's the only school tha(s
been impacted," he said. "We hate
to close just one school because it's
hard to make up the time for that

county and interviews.
The first interview is set to be
held December 13 and additional
intervtews arc set for December 14
and 15.
"The superintendent will extend
an invitation to the candidates to be
in the district to meet the public,
teachers, the community and talk
with the central office staff,"
Brackett said. "There will be no release of any names, until the day
they are to be interviewed."
At the start of Monday's meeting, Brackett thanked the screening
committee for its hard work in
screening applicants and gave them
high praises for keeping the proceedings confidential.
After the meeting, Brackett did
not rule out the possibility that
other candidates would be considered for the post.
"That is up to the board,"
Brackett said. He added that the
board could review all the applications and select others for interviews or the whole process could
be scrapped.
"They can start all over if they
want to," Brackett said.
Board member Phyllis Ronshell, who was the board's representative on the screening committee, said she was pleased the board
had accepted the five applicants selected by the committee.
Brackett said the screening
process has been secretive because
of the controversy surrounding the
district's search in 1992.

A Floyd County man was
charged with first degree assault
after allegedly stabbing a Galveston man Saturday.
Jerry D. Hall, 41, of Galveston,
was arraigned Monday in Floyd
District Court on charges of assault
and terroristic threatening.
According to court records, Hall
and Kennis Hall became involved
in an altercation in a roadway at Pigeon Roost on Mud Creek. Jerry
flail was intoxicated and threatened
Kennis Hall with a knife, according
to the police citation. Jerry Hall
threatened to kill Kennis Hall,

left side, the ciuuion said.
Kennis Hall was taken to
Pikeville Methodist Hospital and
I~ stitches were required to close
the wound, according to the cita·
tion plan until its full impact on students
and the system's instructional programs can
be measured.
A key element in the plan presented by
the Floyd board is the elimination of nearly
100 jobs in the district next fiscal year,
which begins July I, 1996.
The plan proposes to cut a total of $1.9
million from the district's expenditures
over the remaining seven months in this fiscal year and during next year.
The full state board will receive th~
committee's recommendation today, Wednesday, but could apply additional requirements or sanctions if it so chooses.

A Lackey man remained hospitalized and a Garrett man ended up
in jail Tuesday after an argument
between an employee and his boss.
Greg Caudill was in stable condition Tuesday afternoon at Our

spokesperson, after he argued with
his boss. He was shot in the stomach Tuesday morning after he and
Shawn Francis had a verbal disagreement.
Francis was arrested about noon
Tuesday and charged with first degree assault.
According to Detective Joel
Newsome with the Kentucky State
Police, Caudill and Francis had an
argument about work after Caudill
reported to work at the BP gas station in Garrett about 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Caudill then allegedly hit Francis in the face with his fist. Francis
reportedly pulled a .38 caliber
handgun and shot Caudill in the
stomach.
Caudill was transported to Our
Lady of the Way and taken to
surgery. Francis was transported to
McDowell Appalachian Regional
Hospital where he was treated and
released. After his release, Francis
was arrested by Newsome and
lodged in the Floyd County Jail.

A coal truck driver involved in a
fatal accident in February is being
sued in Lawrence County for negligence.
David 0. Clifton of Prestonsburg was named in the lawsuit
along with the J. D. C. Trucking
Company, his father David N.
Clifton, the D. N. Clifton Trucking
Company and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Department of
Highways.
David 0. Clifton was the driver
of a truck that overturned on a
Chevy S-1 0 driven by Vera West on
February 9, at the intersection of
Ky. 3 and U.S. 23 at Louisa. West
was killed in the accident and her
husband, Paul West, is filing the
suit.
Police said the truck had run a
traffic light, but the brakes had malfunctioned and the vehicle couldn't
stop. The lawsuit claims that
Clifton knew about the truck's
brake problems before the accident,
but continued to operate the truck.
"On February 9, 1995, David 0.
Clifton, driver of the truck and trailer, became aware of the problems
with his brakes in his truck, but
nevertheless continued to operate
the truck and trailer despite being
on notice as to the brake problems,"
the suit said. "David 0. Clifton also
was aware of and failed to inspect,

Request by Floyd County Board of
Education denied by appeals court
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Kentucky's Court of Appeals has
denied a request by the Floyd
Cc;>Unty Board of Education to
reconsider its decision that the
board violated the st.a td's Open
Meeting Laws when a central office
reorganization was discussed in
closed session in 1992.
The court issued its one-line
decision Friday, which denied the
board's request for a rehearing on
the matter.
Three former school administrators, whose jobs were eliminated
under the reorganization plan, sued
the board claiming that the reorganization should have been publicly
discussed.
Wayne
Ratliff,
Tommy
Thompson and E.P. Grigsby Jr. are
seeking to have the plan voided and
to be reinstated to their former positions. Ratliff was a co-director of
food service; Thompson was
finance director; and Grigsby was
an assistant to the supenntendent.
Ratliff retired from the system;
Thompson took a job in another
school system; and Grigsby was
placed in a homebound teaching
position. Grigsby is now principal
at Auxier Elementary.
The board voted in 1992 to discuss the plan in closed session after
the
administrators'
attorney,
Mickey McGuire, threatened legal
action if the reorganization plan
was adopted.
An exception to the Open
Meetings Law allows proposed or
pending litigation to be discussed in
private.
The Court of Appeals ruled earlier this year that the board did violate the Open Meetings Law by discussing the plan in closed session.
The court said that the threat of
legal action could be discussed in
secret, but that the details of the
plan should have been discussed in
the open.
·
The board directed its attorney,
Phil Damron, to appeal that deci-
ston.
McGuire said Monday that the
board should not have appealed the
decision at all.
"I'm very disappointed they
appealed it at all, the decision being
so clear," McGuire said. "The
school board was wrong. It's really
sad that the board is wasting more
school dollars to carry this even further. They will take out more
money in the school system in the
cost of salaries and legal expenses."
Damron said Monday that he
hasn't seen the ruling, but that it
would be appealed.
"It is my understanding from the
last meeting this was discussed is to
appeal it," Damron said. "I assume
until the board says otherwise, it's
going to be appealed."
McGuire said that the board
stands to pay out approximately
$400,000 in lost wages for Ratliff,
Thompson and Grigsby. He added
the board could also be responsible
for legal fees.

The board held open interviews
with the five, but the choice for superintendent, Nebraska educator
Bill Zitterkopf, was vetoed by then
Education Commissioner Thomas
Boysen. Boysen recommended
. that the board hire former superintendent Steve Towler, who left the
district earlier this year.
Some board members at the
time said they felt if the didn't hire
Towler, Boysen would remove
them from office. Towler started
off on the wrong foot when he

as superintendent of the Russell
County School System, it was later
learned that the Aoyd system was
$1 million in the red.
Since August. retired Daviess
County superintendent Ed Allen
has served ao; interim superintendent. Allen has reported that the
district is facing a $1 million budget shortfall for the 1995-96 school
year.
Brackett said Monday that
Allen will have no part in the selection process other than to schedule interviews for candidates.

to economic development."
Clark said a successful approach
to regional development would require "four, maybe three" counties
to join forces in an effort to use
special coal severance reserves for
the development of industrial
parks. He said the ideal park
would include between 500 and
I ,000 acres that would be ready to
build on by an industrial prospect.
Both Clark and Recktenwald
noted that pre-developed sites-those which include utility services and transportation access-were critical to the success of any
job development effort.
"Businesses interested in relocating aren't interested in waiting
six months for a site to be prepared
(Continued from page one)
for them," Recktenwald said. "We
need to be ready when they're
ready."
The Big Sandy ADD director
said county officials in the region
had already been approached to
gauge their support for the regional concept and he suggested that
other organizations, like the
Chamber and labor-management
committee needed to express their
support for that concept.
"We're on a different playing
field than we were 25 years ago,"
Recktenwald said. "We need an intensive focus with strategic planmng to actually get something
done. It's critical we take the next
step, quit wallowing around and
get on with it."
problems and/or other maintenance
problems associated with the truck
and trailer."
Also mentioned in the suit are
questions regarding Clifton's past
driving record. A request for admissions was filed asking that Clifton
respond to several statements made
in the suit.
Among the statements are
claims that Clifton was arrested for
DUI in December of 1987 in Floyd
County and cited for no insurance
in 1988 in Floyd County. Also,
there are statements that claim
Clifton was arrested for possession
of marijuana, driving under the
influence and drinking beer on a
public highway in March of 1989
and was arrested for driving under
the influence of drugs, attempting
to elude police and reckless driving
in January of 1992.
District court records in Aoyd
County show that he pleaded guilty
to the 1992 charge, in which he paid
a $207 fine, spent 14 days in home
incarceration and was given 173
days probation.
Clifton's father, David N.
Clifton, and his trucking company,
D. N. Clifton Trucking Company,
were named in the lawsuit because
they sold the truck that was
involved in the accident to David 0.
Clifton, the suit claims.
The suit also claims that David
N. Clifton and D. N. Clifton Trucking were negligent because they
were aware of the truck's brake
problems and failed to investigate
David 0. Clifton's employment history before selling him the truck.
The actions in the case "were
wanton, willful and in gross and
utter disregard for the lives and
safety of other individuals making
use of Kentucky's highways,
including Vera West, thereby entitling plaintiffs to punitive damages," the suit said.
The last section of the lawsuit
claims
that
the
Kentucky
Transportation Cabinet was negligent in designing the highway
because they did not provide an
overpass to separate traffic on U.S.
23 from Ky. 3. Also, they claimed
the cabinet to be negligent because
they left a steep grade when
approaching the intersection traveling north and did not provide adequate warning devices.
"The Transportation Cabinet has
breached its legal duty to keep the
highway in a reasonably safe condition for travel to provide proper
safeguards and to give adequate
warning of dangerous highway conditions," the suit said.
The intersection at the highway
was completed in August of 1989,
and since then has been the site of
eight fatalities. Following West's
·: death at the intersection, local residents began calling the stretch of
.road "Death Valley" and organized
·a group to try and push for higher
safety standards.
So far, they have resulted in getting a warning light system
installed that warns traffic ahead of
time when the light at the intersection is about to change.
Since West's accident in
February, there have been no other
fatalities at the intersection.
Paul West is seeking damages
resulting from pain and suffering
incurred by Vera West, emotional
distress, funeral and burial expenses, punitive damages, loss of consortium and any costs expended by
the court action. He is asking that
the total amount be determined by a
jury.
Note: A civil suit complaint represents only the plaintiff's cause of
action.

The right combination
by Scott Perry
A proposal that would remove
our community college system
from the direct control of the
University of Kentucky, then
merge that system with regional
vo-tech schools makes some
sense, on the surface at least.
There's no doubt that a new
layer of education is necessary in
this age of high technology, where
hands-on job skills are often more
critical than what might be considered to be the conventional college education.
Acquiring the skills necessary
to compete in that high-tech marketplace may not require four
years of post-secondary education, but they will likely require
intensive
and
concentrated
instruction.
And, they will require an institution with the flexibility to
change quickly to meet rapidly
changing needs.
Community colleges have
demonstrated at least a limited
ability to adapt to the marketplace, but they are still geared primarily toward steering students to
a four-year degree.
The vocational-technical system, meanwhile, appears from our
observations to be slower to
adapt.
Both systems still offer some
irrelevant coursework, and both
have their own levels of bureaucracy which can pose obstacles to
their flexibility.
Combining the best of each
into one institution sounds reasonable and sensible, as long as the
financial resources are there, too.
Just as important as money.
though, is direction, and that must
be provided by individuals who
can see beyond the needs of today
if they are to address the needs of
tomorrow.
It would be an immeasurable
asset, for our region at least, to
have an institution that could prepare one student for a career in
teaching, another for a career in
computer technology, and give yet
another the retraining skills he or
she needs to keep the job they
already have in as short a time as
possible, right here at home.
With such an educational tool
at our disposal, it might not be so
tough to bring the jobs here, too.
Senior Citizen
Center, A home
away from home
Editor:
Time is running out so we must
hurry. 1995 will soon be gone and
tax time will be upon us. What a
dreadful thought! But it's not too
late to put your funds where they
will really count and you will feel
good about it.
You probably know and have
heard about Senior Citizens Centers
around the country. That may be the
extent of your knowledge of them.
In the big cities they are no doubt
more advanced, more activities are
going on, and they are more or less
like a big social function operating.
There are probably more government funds assisting in their operations and more funds coming from
different areas to keep them going
strong.
The small centers are struggling
to keep afloat. We do receive some
federal and state funding but we are
advised to raise funds ourselves for
our operations and extra activities
that we have that naturally require
more money. (We would love to
have a nice pool table and some
exercise equipment, but that is way
above our head.)
Nevertheless, we are always trying to come up with ideas to make
extra funds. We did have success
with our "country breakfast" and
the chicken and dumpling dinner.
Who could do that any better than
us "down-home country folks?"
But it is not always so easy and we
easily run out of ideas.
We have a very serious purpose,
too. We have a home delivery meal
program. We take hot meals out
daily to the sick and "shut-in"
senior citizens. There are a lot of
people out there who are not able to
come to our centers and have no
close relatives or friends to come in
and help them fix a hot nourishing
meal. There are no doubt people in
your area who need a helping hand
and many that have benefited from
the home delivery program.
We do have one idea that we
hope will work and bring results,
and that is why we are writing you,
our family and friends, this letter.
How would you like to invest a little of your money in our center?
We are a non-profit organization
and we are here for the senior citizens in this area, where they can
come and be a part of society, be
active in an exercise program, go
places and see the sights on our little bus. We are always looking for
places to go and things to do that
the younger generation do, and yes,
we still have fun!
The purpose of this Jetter is to
ask you if you would like to contribute funds to our center for the
benefit of our people and the operation of our daily activities. As we
said, the end of 1995 will be here
soon and you may be beginning to
feel a little uneasy, knowing what's
coming in January. But, right now,
you can donate funds where you
know they will count. And you can
feel good about giving to a needy
cause. The second good feeling will
come when you file your income
taxes for this year!
A few years ago the Betsy Layne
Senior Citizens purchased a piece
of land adjoining the center with the
hope and dreams of someday building a small housing unit for them.
But it has been a struggle holding
on to it and paying for it.
At times we feel we have to let it
go back because of lack of the extra
funds. But as of yet we're still holding on. Yes, we are "senior" citizens, but holding on to a dream
keeps us strong.
If you would like to be a part of
our dream, donations large or small
would be greatly appreciated more
than you can ever realize. And we
are sure your senior citizens center
in your area could use your help.
Who knows, you may be a regular
daily visitor in a center someday,
and you will have the warm feeling
of knowing you have helped and
had a part in keeping them going.
A dream can become a reality if
we work together to make it come
true.
So, let's get started before the
year ends. If you would like to be a
part of our dream, then action is
where you begin. Here's how. Just
make your check out to your local
senior citizen center and mail it in.
Your check will be your receipt or
we will send you a printed one.
Please Jet us know if you'd prefer
one.
Happy holidays and thank you.

Take a stand against
imp~ired driving
Editor:
Last year, more than 16,000 •
people died as a result of alcoholrelated crashes. That's one about
every thirty minutes.
This holiday season, many organizations, including AAA, are taking a stand against impaired driving. Taking a stand is simple, and
there are lots of ways to do it. First
of all, don't drink and drive. Never
serve alcoholic beverages to anyone under 21. If you drink, always
plan ahead and designate a
non-drinking driver.
If you're having a party this holiday season, be a responsible host.
Serve a wide variety of beverages,
including some that are non-alcoholic. Control the amount of alcoholic beverages served-no open
bars. Ask alcohol impaired guests
to stay overnight or call a cab.
Finally, tum your "Lights on for
Lifev on Friday, December 15.
Drive with your headlights on all
day to remember those who have
been killed or injured by impaired
•
driving.
Together we can make this a
safer holiday season.

Where would we be without the arts?
That is the question posed to us in an
· ad we saw recently, and one which got us
to thinking.
Actually, though it didn't come right out
and say it, the ad wanted us to think
where we'd be if the arts weren't subsidized by tax money, as has been proposed during the ongoing federal budget
debates.
So, where would we be?
Well, we probably wouldn't be going to
the new Mountain Arts Center about to
open in Prestonsburg, which is being
constructed with a lot of federal grant dollars.
But then those grant dollars aren't
specifically tied to •the arts• though the
facility and its eventual products are.
We wouldn't have as much to choose
from on Kentucky Educational Television
or public radio stations if arts funding is
cut, that's for sure.
Beyond that, everything becomes relative. One of those one-man's-trash-is-
another-man's-treasure situations.
Some people think opera is art, while
others see a masterpiece in an artist's
rendition of a Campbell's Soup can.
We're kinda partial to sunsets and our
kids' fingerpaintings. We think Norman
Rockwell was an artist and Picasso was a
weirdo.
To each his own.
So, just where would we be without federal funding for the arts?
Same place we are right now.
News that the CIA spent millions of
bucks to employ psychics in various and
sundry operations to offset a perceived
ESP imbalance in the spy business has
been a paranormal hoot to say the least.
The agency is scrapping the program
now, contending it didn't work, but some
of the former program, um, employees
are protesting that claim.
Of course if they were the mindreaders
they were supposed to be, they'd have
been aware of the CIA's plans to cancel
their jobs an·d they might have done
something to prevent it.
Too late now, but who knew?
Cutting legal aid to the poor is one of
those issues that separates realism from
revolution in the congressional budget
battle.
The reality is that without federal funding for legal services, many folks would
not have access to our courts and that
runs counter to our constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law.
The GOP-led conservative revolution,
though, has targeted that program for
extinction and would likely have succeeded in killing it off had not one of their own,
Hal Rogers, ridden to its rescue.
While many congressional newcomers
may feel they have a mandate from the
voters to trim the federal government's
excess spending, they might want to educate themselves further on what distinguishes priority from pork.
Hal would be an excellent tutor.
Governor Brereton Jones will be heading out of office in just a few short days,
leaving behind a legacy of, uh, a legacy
of, urn, a legacy of something.
Jones, who spent four years presiding
over the state senate, two years retiring
his previous campaign debts and two
years as governor, may go down as the
least significant leader Kentucky has had
in some time.
Maybe that's because he never really
got a handle on the job.
The governor, who had hoped to give
state employees an across-the-board pay
hike on his way out, apparently didn't
realize that legislative action is required
for such proposals.
Doesn't say much for on-the-job training, does it?

Questions Mr. Goble
regarding motives
Editor:
Mr. Goble, after reading your
letter to the editor, printed in the
November 29th issue of this newspaper, I was left with some questions about it.
I am writing this with the hope
that you may answer them in a letter at a later date. It seems to me,
attcr reading your letters. that you
have developed a strange dislike
for an inanimate object-a house.
Why, sir, do you dislike the May
House so much? Or is it not the
house, but the May family that you
dislike? Have you ever had an_Y
contact personally with the May
family? Is there some sort of feud
between you and them? If not, why
are you so adamant about downplaying Samuel May's past and the
future of his generations?
Is it that you are against history?
Just as you are definitely against
tourism? You asked in your letter
"Why in the name of insanity
would anyone want to build a
tourist industry?"
I don't believe I've heard lately
of Walt Disney being called insane
for building his "Walt Disney
World," a tourist mecca for the
United States.
Nor have I seem Mickey or
Minnie
striking
outside
Disneyland. because of unfair slave
labor wages. This was said with
tongue-in-cheek, of course.
You also stated that you have no
quarrel with the Friends of the May
House. Who then is your quarrel
with? The house cannot quarrel
with you, and Samuel and Jack
May are gone and can't argue with
you about their reputations. So it
appears that the Friends of the May
House are the only people for you
to have a quarrel with concerning
this matter. This being the only
question which I had answered by
your letter.

Thanks Paul
Thompson
for helping children
Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sheriff Paul Hunt
Thompson and his department for
their participation in sending children to summer camp. We appreciate so much their taking the time
and effort in getting children from
their county to attend.
Their graciousness in participating in this most unique camping
experience provides underprivileged children in your county a
weeks' free stay at the Kentucky
Sheriffs' Boys and Girls Ranch.
While here, they not only have
fun, but also learn many valuable
lessons. We try to teach the children
to respect themselves as well as
others, and hope to leave a lasting
impact on their lives.
Again, a special thank-you to
Sheriff 1bompson and his department for their dedication to helping
needy children in their county.
I would also like to wish a
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year to everyone from the
Kentucky Sheriffs' Boys & Girls
Ranch!

Tis' the season to be giving, but
this is also the season when people
can become more susceptible to
scams.
Prestonsburg police chief Darrel
Conley said he received a call
Tuesday morning about the police
department soliciting funds for
missing children.
"Someone used my name to ask
this man to donate to a missing children's fund," Conley said. "The
department is not soliciting for
money and whoever is using our
name did not get our approval."
A missing children's fund is not
the only subject that callers have
asked for donations.
Prestonsburg fire chief Tom
Blackburn said his mother received
two calls last week asking her to
donate to the Kentucky State Police
walk-a-thon.
"The first call, my mother asked
for a return phone number and the
caller hung up," Blackburn said.
''The second call, my mother asked
them to send her information on the
program and the caller said 'okay'
then hung up."
The Kentucky State Police Post
9 is not raising funds, but the
Kentucky State Police Professional
Association does have fund-raising
programs throughout the state.
When a caller asking for money
refuses to give a return phone number or to send information there is
something crooked about it,
Blackburn said.
"Any organization collecting
money will give a return phone
number if they are legit," Blackburn
will be installed l'REE!
said. "And, if anybody says they are
collecting for Prestonsburg, they
are completely wrong."
Tips to avoid being scammed:
• only donate money to a reputable charity or club;
• do not give credit card, social
security or other personal identification numbers over the phone, no
matter who it is;
• ask for information about the
organization in writing;
• ask for a return phone number
and the person's name and then call
back to double check if the organization is legitimate;
• do not hesitate to contact local
law enforcement agencies about
possible phone scams;
• ask for references, then check
the references; and
• ask for identification if the
solicitor comes door-to-door.

"Some of the detectors gave

Carbon monoxide detectors

Allen Central finds 'Land of Giants' too finch

To seed or
not to seed,
that is the
question

Wednesday, December 6, 1995
In 1963 Floyd County coaches
voted to establish a conference
for the basketball season - at
least they called it a conference
- and, since '63, the district
tournament pairings have always
been by seed.
The last place team faces the
top team in the conference, and
the number two team plays
against number three.
It has always been that way
since 1963.
Now, a controversy has developed about whether the county
will seed this year or not. South
Floyd High School principal,
whose school hosted last year's
district tournament, has said the
teams were not seeded last year
when in reality they were. I was
at the meeting.
Now the matter has been
brought before Louis Stout,
KHSAA commissioner, who says
the tournament pairings will be
by draw this season. However, if
proof can be shown that we seeded last year, it will remain the
same as last season.
It hasn't 'been all that long
since it took place so why is
everyone having trouble remembering. Now, Floyd County athletic director David Turner has to
show proof that the teams were
seeded - and they most certainly were.
That brings me to this point:
now there is talk of forming a
conference that will bring
Paintsville and Johnson Central,
as well as the four Floyd County
teams, together. That stinks. Why
not leave it alone and let us continue to have the good rivalries
we have had through the years?
Why are we always trying to
change things that have been
good for the fans down through
the years? We have taken everything away from the kids. We no
longer honor their efforts by naming them to an All-Conference
team, All-District team or an AllRegional team because some
coach doesn't want to take the
heat over having to vote for such
a team.
Last week, at the Pikeville
Invitational T.oarnament, an AllTournament team was named. I
got to vote in it. You should have
seen the eyes of those players
when their names were called and
they walked out onto the floor to
receive their plaques for making
this prestigious team. It was a big
moment in their lives and something they will always remember.
But, here in Floyd County, we
have taken all that away from
them because we want change.
The game is for the kids - not
the parents, coaches or fans.
I wish we had someone in the
administrative office who had
some backbone to stand up to
those who are bent on ruining the
game. I wish someone in charge
would just speak up and not be
afraid of the voices of others.
It is a sad day in county athletics when someone threatens to
sue another individual because he
or she doesn't like the way things
are run. That is very, very sad. We
have stooped very low.
Let us remember that the
whole reason for having a season
is for the kids to enjoy some
extracurricular activities. It has
become a money situation now
and economics outweigh the reasons for the seasons.
I want to sec the all-conference, all-district teams brought
back. It is important to the kids.

When you look at the Allen
Central roster you will find that
Coach Johnny Martin marked
"DNP" (did not play) by all but four
players who make up the Rebel basketball team this year.
It isn't clear if Coach Martin is
trying to send a message or not, but
it is clear from the roster that the
Rebels had very few experienced
players who took on number one
(region) and number five (state)
Paintsville this past Friday night at
the J .E. Campbell Arena.
There has always been a rivalry
between the two schools and there
have been some battles on the hardwood over the past two seasons.
But this time Allen Central could
not become the ''David" of the basketball court and slay the giants as
Craig Ratliff (6' 8") and sophomore
J.R. Vanhoose (6' 9") dominated the
inside against the smaller Rebels
and the Tigers roared all the way to
an 84-66 win over Allen Central.
Ratliff, one of the best fans will
see in the 15th Region, tossed (literally) in a game-high 39 points and
Vanhoose added 26 points as the
bulk of Paintsville's points came
from underneath. Josh McKenzie
added 12 points.
Another top state player, Thomas
Jenkins, although on the short end
of the score, led Allen Central with
32 points in his season debut. Like
Allen Central, Paintsville had trouble handling the quicker Jenkins as
he slashed to the basket and beat
Ratliff several times on moves
down low.
Sophomore Todd Howard added
12 points. The most inspiring play

team doesn't need too much scoring
from the outside. Ratliff had his
way again.st the Rebel defense, but
it took Vanhoose until the second
half to get started. He made the
most of it by pouring in offensive
rebounds.
Allen Central enjoyed a brief
moment of glory when they took a
4-0 lead on the Tigers on an 18-foot
jumper by Jenkins and Corey
Patton's left-handed lay-in. But the
Tigers reeled off the next nine
points on a easy inside basket by

Allen Central past
Johnson Central, 59-51
quarter
For three full quarters, the Betsy
Layne Lady Cats struggled on
offense against the Pike Central
Lady Hawks in the semifinals of
the Pikeville Lady Panthers
Invitational last Thursday night.
The Lady Cats had three field
goals in the third quarter and trailed
big time, 52-31, to the Lady
Hawks.
With 3:46 left to play in the
game, it was an entirely different
picture as Coach Bill Newsome's.
Lady Cats roared back and cut the
deficit to eight points, 54-46, with
some pressure defense.
Penny Tackett led the Betsy
Layne charge, scoring 13 of her 17
points in the final period. Tackett's
speed was too much for the press of
Pike Central. Betsy Layne scored
the first seven points of the fourth
quarter to cut the lead to 14 points,
52-38, before Amanda Collins hit a
short jumper.
Tackett drilled a three-pointer
and seconds later scored on a
break-a-way layup for an 11-point
game. Jessica Johnson, who led all
scorers with 22 points, scored on a
reverse layup and the Lady Cats
were within nine, 54-45.
Ashley Tackett had a chance to
make it less, but missed two free
throws with 3:49 left to play.
Johnson grabbed the rebound on
the second miss and was fouled as
she went back with the ball. She hit
the front of the two-shot foul and it
was 54-46, Pike Central.
A 6-1 run by the Lady Hawks
extended the lead back to 11 points,
60-49. Betsy Layne could get no
closer than ten, as Collins led the
early charge for Pike Central in the
first quarter as turnovers plagued
Betsy Layne.
The Lady Hawks led by 12
points, 24-12, after the first period
with Kristy Varney tossing eight
first-quarter points.
Back-to-back three-point baskets by Johnson in the second p~ri
od brought Betsy Layne back to
within eight of the Lady Hawks,
28-20. A 5-0 run made it 33-20
before Ashley Tackett hit a ten-foot
jumper and earned a 33-22 score.
Rachael Thompson, who had seven
block shots in game one, had three
consecutive block shots with 23
seconds left to play in the half.
Penny Tackett scored underneath
for a 33-24 game just before halftime.
It was all Pike Central in quarter
number three as the team blitzerl
the Lady cats with a 19-7 run to
lead by 21 after three.
Crystal Gearheart, who played a
strong game on the boards, finished
with nine points in the game.
Ashley Tackett added five and
Heather
Kidd
scored
two.
Thompson had one point, but finished with six block shots giving
her 13 for the two games.
Amanda Collins led Pike
Central with 21 points for the Lady
Hawks. Varney netted 13 points
with Kim Hall tossing in ten. Debra
Ashby scored nine points.
Betsy Layne shot poorly from
Slone who came into the game and
was not intimidated by the taller
Tigers. Slone finished with eight
points in limited playing time. Chris
Bailey, returning to the basketball
court after a three-year absence, finished with six points.
Paintsville got very little out of
its front court as Mike Burchett and
Mike Short combined for only six
points in the backcourt. The Tigers
had to play without sophomore
Todd Tackett, who was out with an
injured ankle. Tackett is expected to
return in about a week.
But with two giants down low, a

Missed free throws costly
as Prestonsburg falls
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
For the first 31 minutes and 24
seconds, the Prestonsburg Lady
Blackcats looked like a team that
will be hard to beat this season in
girls' high school basketball.
Coach Harold Tackett's squad
did no wrong as they pressed Pike
Central and caused the Lady Hawks
all sorts of problems in handling the
basketball. While Pike Central was
having its troubles, Prestonsburg
was hitting the threes and April
Newsome was on her way to a 23point night.
·
But the final 62 seconds of the
game were a disaster for the Lady
Blackcats as they saw Pike Central
score nine unanswered points, overcome Prestonsburg, and, for the
second straight year, take home the
championship trophy of the Lady
Panthers Invitational Basketball
Tournament.
Pike
Central
defeated
Prestonsburg in last year's finals by
one point.
No one was to blame for the loss
but the Lady Blackcats themselves.
They missed six consecutive free
throws in the final I :02 and forced
some shots they didn't need to take.
For those final 62 seconds,
Prestonsburg lost focus of what it
would take to win the championship as players took some illadvised shots when they had the
lead and the clock running.
But Pike Central sent them to the
charity stripe and dared them to
sink their free throws. With I :34
left to play, freshman Shelly
Greathouse missed two free tosses
with her team leading 51-46. With
I :25, after a Pike Central turnover,
Greathouse again missed two free
throws with her team holding the
same five-point lead.
At the I :02 mark, Crystal Layne,
the Lady Blackcats best free throw
shooter, missed on two shots. It was
then that Pike Central made its
move.
"I had been waiting all night for
these girls to wake up and play basketball," Pike Central Coach
Tammy Tussey said.
Wake up they did as Kristy
Varney issued the wake up call with
two rebound baskets to make it a
51-50 score. Prestonsburg was
guilty of its second mistake when
the team failed to block out the
taller Lady Hawks.
With 23 second left to play and
Prestonsburg holding a precarious
one-point lead, 51-50, Varney went
to the free throw line for the Lady
Hawks for the bonus shot. Varney
missed the front end, but was
allowed to rebound her own missed
shot and hit a short jumper that
gave Pike Central the lead, 52-51.
The Lady Bl2ckcats had plenty
of time to get a shot off. but Jcnna
Fannin, not knowing how much
time remained, forced a shot that
sailed out of bounds w1th eight seconds left to play. Amanda Collins
was fouled with six seconds and
made the front end of the two-shot
foul, but missed the second. Again,
Pike Central rebounded the missed
shot and Prestonsburg had to foul
Tiffany Slone, who hit two free
throws to seal the victory.
Prestonsburg led 42-35 entering
the final period and was in command of the game behind the play
of
Newsome
and
Layne.
Prestonsburg appeared to be a little
too comfortable with the sevenpoint lead and started taking shots
that just weren't there. Ladonna
Slone missed two uncontested
layups, Layne missed a shot in
close, and Greathouse missed a
short jumper that dipped down but

Allen Central Coach Bonita
Compton sent her team in a 2-3
zone defense Monday night and the
Lady Rebels responded with a 5951 win over the Johnson Central
Lady Eagles to improve to 2-0 on
the season.
"We felt we had to play a zone in
order to stop Robin Music, who I
consider the best player in the
region," she said.
The zone defense worked as
Music finished with just II points
in her team's first game of the
young season.
The zone defense cut off the
passing lanes for the Lady Eagles
and resulted in several turnovers.
"You'll not see a better played
game in a regional game than this
one," Compton said.
Sophomore guard Missy Scott
scored a game-high 29 points to
lead her team to its second victory
in as many starts. Junior center
Amanda Samons added 15 points
and Janice Thornsbury scored
seven.
Allen Central scored ten straight
points in the final 2:16 of the third
period to erase a 36-35 Johnson
Central lead and went into the
fourth quarter leading 45-36. Scott
scored six of the ten points including a three-point basket.
Allen Central's pressure defense
forced Johnson Central into 22
turnovers. The Lady Rebels were
four better with 26 turnovers.
Johnson · Central was constantly
double, and at times, tripling teaming Scott, trapping along the side
lines. But her quickness allowed
her to drive the middle lanes for
some easy short jumpers.
The Lady Rebel's biggest lead1
came in the fourth quarter when 1
they went on top by 11 points, 49-.
38 on a free throw by Scott with 1
6:46 to play. Samons drilled two,
free throws to give Allen Central its
second ten-point advantage, 55-45.
Johnson Central could get no closer
than seven points, 56-49.
Johnson Central had committed
seven turnovers before the team
ever scored and that came at the
4:0 I mark of the first quarter when
Music hit a 12-foot jumper. Allen
Central rolled out to a 6-0 lead on a
basket by Shauna Moore, a free
throw and basket from Scott and
Samon's free throw.
Johnson Central took its first
lead at 13-12 with nine seconds left
to play in the first. Scott hit the
back side of a two-shot foul to tie
the game at 13-13 after the initial
quarter. The game was tied one
other time in the first at 12-12.
Johnson Central led 15-13, 1716 and 18-16 early in the second
period before Allen Central tied the
game at 18-18 on two Samon's free
throws, the first two of nine straight
the Lady Rebels would score to
lead 25-18. Scott converted an oldfashioned three-point play to give
Allen Central a 30-22 lead, but hit a
trey just before the half for a 33-26
Lady Rebel halftime lead.
Johnson Central took advantage
of five consecutive Allen Central
turnovers to start the third period as
the Lady Eagles grabbed the 36-35

rimmed out.
Pike Central closed the margin
in the early part of the fourth quarter when the team made it a 46-44
game on a three-point basket by
Kim Hall with 4:45 left to play. But
a free throw, a layup and
Newsome's short jumper gave
Prestonsburg a five-point, 51-46
lead with I :56 remaining. They
never scored in the closing minutes.
Pike Central only led twicct in
the game before taking a 52-51 lead
and both of those leads came in the
first quarter at 8-7 and 10-9.
Newsome gave Prestonsburg the
(Continued from page one
first lead when she stole the ball and
scored for a 2-0 game. The game
was tied at 2, 4 and 8 before
Prestonsburg raced to a 16-13 firstquarter lead.
Prestonsburg's defense forced
Pike Central into five first-quarter
turnovers and Prestonsburg converted four into points.
The two teams played close
through the second quarter and
were tied at 21, 23, 25 and 28
before Prestonsburg took a onepoint lead to the locker room on
Newsome's free throw with no time
on the scoreboard.
A Look at Sports - - - - I Continued from pageone)
chemistry is just not there and no player can really get into the flow
of the game by playing two or three minutes before he is yanked out.
Even Tony Delk is seeing less playing time. Delk must play!
I think coach Rick Pitino should settle on eight players and go
with them most of the game. If they establish a wide lead or fall
behind by a large margin, then play the others. But he will never build
a winner until he does just that. You can't expect to be a national
power and satisfy JO or 11 young men with equal playing time.
PREDICTION: Antoine Walker will become the next Rodrick
Rhodes.
SEASON JOKE: Mark Pope. Very wimpish in the middle. Doesn't
know how to post up and should go ahead and become a Rhodes
Scholar.
DEPARTURE: Point guard (supposedly) Alan Edwards. The handwriting is on the wall for Edwards. Look for other places.
MISTAKE: Oliver Simmons enrolling at UK.
MISTAKE 2: Jared Prickett should have left two seasons ago.
OVERAU: This club just doesn't have what it takes to make a
national championship team.
PLEASING; I certainly like the first three games they played
against national competition. The teams that played against UK were
some fine teams. That is better than the cupcakes.
Speaking of cupcakes, they are on the way. Tonight WisconsinGreen Bay will visit UK in their home opener (boy, I can't wait).
Cupcakes two and three (Morehead State and Marshall) are on the
horizon after we take on a very good Georgia Tech team.
So, three cupcakes in comparison to seven is not too bad.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports!
Pike Central didn't adjust to the
pressure defense of Prestonsburg in
the third period and committed nine
turnovers in the stanza. But
Prestonsburg had trouble hitting
uncontested layups as Newsome
went solo twice and came up empty.
Prestonsburg took a 40-33 lead
when Greathouse buried a threepointer with 1:22 to play in the third
period. A steal by Greathouse and a
good pass to Newsome resulted in
the 42-35 third quarter lead for
Prestonsburg. Prestonsburg stole
the ball five times for the Lady
Hawks in the quarter.
Pike Central had a balanced
attack on the floor led by Bridget
Caldwell's 13 points. Varney finished with 12 and Krissy Smith
tossed in 11. Kim Hall, before fouling out, added ten points. It was
seven points for Amanda Collins
and Mary Beth Bridgeman scored
two.
Newsome's 23 led Prestonsburg.
She hit three three-point baskets in
the game. Layne, who also had two
treys, finished with 14 points and
Greathouse, with two three-pointers, had eight points. Jenna Fannin,
off the bench, scored four. Ladonna
Slone scored one point as did
Amber Leslie.

How bad was the Lady
Blackcats free throw shooting?
They attempted 32 free throws and
made only 12 for a cool, cool 38
percent.
Prestonsburg (2-1 ), who played
Belfry Monday night, will travel to
Betsy Layne next Monday for a big,
big conference game with the Lady
Cats.

KENTUCKY WILDCATS
TURN BACK
PEANUT-BUTTER-SLOW
HOOSIERS
tapping on that awful door once
more. The one at the top.
Sherron Wilkerson retreated.
One against three. Here came
Anthony Epps with a sparkle in his
eyes charging toward the Indiana
man, doing what Epps does well,
push the break. At a precise instant
Kentucky's fans recognize so
quickly and appreciate best, Epps
dealt a crisp flip pass on the right
wing to Tony Delk. Jump shot.
You know the rest.
It was Kentucky's execution,
albeit in sports against Indiana
Saturday, coupled with frenetic
defense that made Indiana look like
peanut butter slow, that left the air
aglitter with blue sparkle in
Indianapolis. The Wildcats are
going to be good. Very good.
Maybe very soon thanks in part to
the demands of consecutive deployments against upscale foes Maryland, UMass and IU. Each followed by tinkerings and tunings
from Rick Pitino.
Maryland, UMass, Indiana. Last
time UK won an NCAA title (1978)
it opened against SMU, then beat
Indiana, Kansas, South Carolina
and St. Johns before Christmas.
Pitino tinkerings? Re-inserting
Epps at floor-master; letting Ron
Mercer watch more, Jearn this
game; allowing Derek Anderson to
create when it would be tempting to
stifle him; and letting Antoine
Walker bristle and whine a little and
play wonderfully. And, Da Coach
·continues to divvy up playing time
wisely - nine of 11 players had
double-digit minutes Saturday with furious results. IU was ticketed
with 18 turnovers, but counting
missed Jay-ups and put-backs, it
seemed like 28.
Kentucky is ranked fifth in this
week's coaches' poll. A perfect
perch from which to view the proceedings of what is shaping up to be
an enormously entertaining season.
Soon enough the Wildcats will be
COUCH, UK BOOSTERS
Tim Couch, America's Kid (I
think he qualifies, don't you?) says
he will wait until February to
announce his college choice. Hunch
here is he won't last that long unless
the telephone is unplugged, he gets
lost in basketball, or Hyden strings
cortina wire around the town.
In the end, Couch will sign with
Kentucky, Methinks .... unless a
zealous UK booster botches it.
Among the ever-present rumors in
recent weeks, was a Couch visit to
Rex Chapman's house, transportation provided by a UK football
booster. Just wondering, could these
(shadowy) boosters be the .same
ones who belong to lynch mobs
yelling for Bill Curry's head?
Interesting how Curry's remark,
"Tim Couch is the best football
player I've seen in 42 years," not
only did not come back to haunt
him, but has been repeated in the
media so many times, it has become
a commercial.
It's called turning a negative into
a positive.
C.M. Newton. For his decision
to keep Curry as coach, UK's AD
was being hailed even by Dick
Vitale last week. During the
UMass-UK game, ESPN's motormouth threw rose petals at Newton
for having courage to stand up to
critics.
Wrong. Newton had courage to
do the right thing.
UK'S VIRTUAL REALITY
About UMass's Marcus Camby,
I was wondering: if a team (UK) is
going to double-down defend on
Camby, the double ought to arrive
sometime before, what, Sports
Center at 11 ? .....Why did it take two
games for UK players to recognize
opposing teams come after number
one the way Rick Majerus goes for
a pizza?
How come after three seasons,
Pitino is still learning that...
• Tony Delk is not, was not and
never will be, a point guard.
• Until rookie Wayne Turner
proves otherwise, Anthony Epps is
the team's best playmaker.
• Jared Prickett should be wearing a red shirt.
Other things.
If you could say one word to
Antoine Walker, would it be:
Relax... ? Yes, Pitino promised Ron
Mercer, ''you come here, you start,"
but the freshman said last week, he
isn't quite ready....Walter McCarty
ought to skip the wide-mouth routine after a dunk and get back on
defense....How come Jared Prickett
looks lost?
Oh, and all you folks who had
the Louisville Cardinals penciled in
your preseason Top 10, stand up,
please right next to me.
HEISMAN BALLOT
Since Gino Torretta, the Miami
U. stiff who was handed a Heisman
three years ago, I always hold onto
my Heisman Trophy ballot until
December. And no, I didn't vote for
him 1-2 or 3.
This year's choices on the ballot
came into sharp focus this week.
Danny Wuerffel, Florida. My
distaste for voting for a quarterback
is superseded only by the despicable idea of supporting anything to
do with Steve Spurrier. However, a
little 4-question self-test comes up,
Wuerffel.
4. How much did he mean to his
team? 3. What did his team accomplish? 2. Could his team have done
as well without him? 1. What kind
of student was he? This is studentathletics,.isn~t it?
Wuerffel not only passed for 473
miles and a zillion touchdowns, his
real number was a 3.7 grade point
majoring in public relations. He
was named to the CFA's
Scholarship All-America team last
week.
Number two on my ballot,
Darnell Autry, Northwestern; number three Eddie George, Ohio State.
What about Kentucky's Moe
By Bob Watkins
Williams? Nice numbers in
America's toughest league, but alas,
when the SEC announced that UK
led the teague again with 15 on the
SEC Academic Honor Roll, Moe's
name was nowhere in sight.
JUST WONDERING DEPT.
After watching a CBSNetwork 48 Hours on the
University of Nebraska football last
week, how could so many selfrighteous sports media-types have
written and spoken so many laudatory things about coach Tom
Osborne?
- Anytime a University of
Louisville's football team is 7-4 and
thinking bowl bid, Cardinal athletic
officials face the sobering reality
that before any invites are extended,
ticket-conscious bowl officials will
sneak a peek at "who does their basketball team play on game night?"
VITALE GAME
Playing
games....Anybody
notice ESPN's Dick Vitale pulling
for Kentucky against UMass so
hard he almost fell out of his chair?
Reason: The mouth that roars is
a Wildcats fan, right? Wrong. Vitale
went around the country last summer and fall blowing about how
good Kentucky was going to be,
then stuck the Wildcats at number
one in his slick magazine. It's about
his fragile credibility and knowing
TV fame can be here today and
gone tomorrow.
Near the end of the UMass debacle, Vitale whimpered, "Maybe we
overrated Kentucky."
Gamesmanship? Vitale says nice
on-air things about Rick Pitino, and,
in turn, Da Coach tells media-types
everywhere how well Dick "promotes college basketball."
College basketball needs promotion? Wonder if CBS execs checked
with Vitale before ponying up a billion-plus dollars to renew a contract
to air the NCAA Tournament into
the next century?
No, basketball

Allen Central---Ratliff, consecutive baskets by
Vanhoose and an old-fashioned
three-point play by Ratliff to take a
9-41ead.
Todd Howard nailed a ten-foot
jumper and Jenkins scored on a
power move inside to make it a
one-point, 9-8 game.
Ratliff just took control of the
game with a rebound basket, a
three-point play, and a dunk off the
base line. The Tigers were roaring
at 16-8.
Paintsville was getting three and
four shots at the basket as the
Rebels just couldn't match up with
the taller Tigers. After baskets by
Chris Bailey and ancther inside
move from Jenkins made it 16-12,
Ratliff completed his third threepoint play in the first quarter to give
Paintsville a 19-12 lead after one
quarter.
Allen Central stayed close
through the second quarter although
it was apparent they were tiring.
Howard drilled a three-pointer for
Allen Central to pull the Rebels to
within four, 21-17, but the Tigers
went back out to a 27-19 advantage
before the Rebels scored six unanswered points to pull back to within
three, 28-25.
Vanhoose scored seven of the
next Tiger points for a 37-33 lead.
Bailey hit a layup just before the
half, leaving the Rebels trailing 3935 at the half.
A rebound basket by Slone to
start the third period for the Rebels
brought the margin to two points,
39-37, and that would be as close
len Central would come as
Paintsville went on a roll scoring
the next seven points and a 46-37
lead. A 10-2 run made it 56-39
before a free throw by Moore and
Jenkins' three-point play cut it back
to 13, 56-43. Allen Central trailed
61-50 after three periods.
Paintsville's biggest lead came
at 27 points 69-52, before Ailen
Central cut the margin to the final
18 points.
Allen Central Coach Johnny
Martin said he knew it was going to
be a different game than when his
teams played Paintsville in the past.
''It was different." he said. "I feel
Thomas could have done more, but
he had been sick. Edmon played a
good game for us. He came in and
wanted it."
Allen Central (0-l) will take part
in this week's Johnson Central
Invitational when the team faces
Lee County Thursday night in the
second game.

MORE NASCAR NEWS
e
•
We find ourselves in the midst of
the NASCAR off-season. One
would think that the amount of
NASCAR news would all but come
to a halt. Nothing could be further
from the truth. In the last two weeks,
several notable items came across
my desk and I thought it would be
wise to share them with you. Plus,
I' II get to clean off this ever-growing
stack of news releases from the top
of my desk.
From the "Expect Anything From
NASCAR Department," it was
learned last week that NASCAR has
planned three exhibition races in
Japan. The first one is set to take
place in November of '96. It will be
held at the Suzuka Circuit road
course, home of the Formula One
Japan Grand Prix.
Fresh out of the "It Ain't Broke
So Don't Fix It Department," is an
announcement by Rick Henrick that
he plans to make some staff changes
in his three-car operation. Ken
Howes will move from the role of
Ken Schrader's crew chief to the
head of research and development
for Hendrick Motorsports. Phil
Hammer will move into the vacant
_,Newsome-(Continued from page 8B)
her 20 points. Samata Narra hit
double figures with ten points.
The game was much closer than
the final 36-point spread indicated.
The Lady Panthers trailed by only
seven points, 29-22, at the half.
It was the defense of
Prestonsburg that took the Lady
Panthers out of the flow of the
game. The Lady Blackcats forced
Pikeville into 20 first-half
• turnovers.
It was the final quarter when
Prestonsburg went on a run,
outscoring Pikeville 31-10.
Prestonsburg led 19-10 at the
first stop as Pikeville had ten firstquarter turnovers, six on six
straight possessions. But while
Pikeville was turnihg the ball over,
Prestonsburg could not convert the
baskets.
Pikeville's only lead came in the
first quarter when they scored the
frrst four points to lead 4-0 on baskets by Narra and Kristy Hall.
Newsome buried a three-pointer
that caught the Lady Panthers at 6• 6 and Layne came right back for a
trey that gave Prestonsburg a 9-6
lead with 2:28 to play. A 14-0 run
netted Prestonsburg a 17-6 lead as
Slone scored six straight points.
Prestonsburg pushed the lead
out to 11 points, 27-16, with 3:31
to play in the first half. But when
Prestonsburg started forcing the
·shots, Pikeville climbed back in the
game with a 6-2 run lead by Burke.
The Lady Blackcats extended
the lead to 43-30 on a jumper by
Newsome and with 20 seconds left
· in the third period, Newsome
' buried a trey for a 47-32 lead.
Over the final five minutes of
• the game Pikeville could only
score four points and only one field
goal.
Ladonna Slone pu,lJed down
nine rebounds for Prestonsburg.
Burke grabbed eight and Leslie hac:i
six. Slone and Layne both had
seven assists in the game.
Newsome dished off six and Shelly
Greathouse four. Greathouse, who
saw limited playing time, finished
with two points for Prestonsburg.
Crystal Slone and Brandi Slone
each scored two.

moving its race shop from
Dawsonville to Hickory, North
Carolina. The setup will be unique
because the shop will be located in a
structure that will serve not only as
the team headquarters, but also an
airplane hanger as well.
Here's one from the "Can't Wait
Until
February
Department."
Traditionally, each NASCAR season
gets underway with the running of
the Bu'sch Clash. And the '96 installment of this race already promises to
be a good one. A record 15 drivers
have qualified for the event. Plus,
spot left by Howes. Also, Ray
Evemham will be pulling double
duty in '96. He will oversee operations of both the DuPont and the
Budweiser teams.
This is interesting because it
prompts a question or two. First, will
this move take away from the
DuPont team and driver Jeff
Gordon? And second, did Hendrick
make this move because Schrader
was the only Hendrick driver to not
visit victory lane in '95?
From the "On The Road Again
Department," Bill Elliott's team is

That's right. Now you can save up to 30% on residential local toll calls to nearby communities automatically with
BellSouth. Whenever you make more than $20 of local toll calls a month, BellSouth will discount those calls by 30%.
There's no need to sign up- the savings are automatic. In fact, you could be saving 30% right now, just by calling the
way you always have. Plus, after the first 30 seconds, your calls are charged in six-second increments, instead of whole minutes.
So, with Bell.South, charges end just after your conversation does, instead of at the next whole minute. Isn't it nice to know
there's one phone company that provides real value every day?

From the "What Else Is New
Department," Bill Elliott has once
again been named the Most Popular
Driver of the Year. For Elliott, this
marks the tenth time in the last 12
years that he has won this award.
The voting was conducted by a 900
number in which fans could call in
and register their votes. Each year
this award is sponsored by the
National
Motorsports
Press
Association.
And finally, from the "We're Not

television ratings grew by a remarkable 25 percent in 1995. Try this
number folks : 91 million. That was
the total viewership for the Winston

A report of

Christmas elves hard at work
•Madoot'6, 19~ cuuuud eAWfma6, ~tire ~mllf 6£l ~ ~£WtM17
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Christmas for Marlow Tackett became
meaningful 20 years ago when he received a
letter from a Betsy Layne girl.
• The letter read: "Dear Marlow, I saw you
play at Betsy Layne Elementary School and
I thought you might help my five brothers
and sisters have a good Christmas." The letter was signed and the little girl had
enclosed a picture.
For Tackett, the years had been good. It
was 1975. The coal business was booming.
His club was packed every night. Money
dren had decorated the tree by cutting pictures from a mail order catalog and hanging
them on the tree.
The group left on a shopping spree. They
went to the plaza and while some went to
the grocery store for food, others went to
department stores for clothes and other
essentials. They returned to the home with
food, clothes, shoes as well as toys and
games.
From that one family, Tackett's campaign
to help the needy grew.
This year, after Tackett's show on
December 16, volunteers will stay at the
club just south of the Pike County line to
help prepare the room for the party the next
day.
Clothes, toys, candy, fruit and other foods
will be piled around the room.
While the volunteers are working, many
families will arrive at the club to wait for the
party to begin - many hours ahead of time.
"He is compelled to do what he can to
give back what he's received," Larry
Ferguson, a spokesman for Tackett, said.
"We're expecting between 4,000 and 5,000
people to attend."
Tackett is asking for donations of clothes,
food, candy and toys. He has many volunteers who help him sort and clean the items
w~r~linginfromevery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,
direction.
But that wasn't the
way it had always been.
• Tackett could remember
how Christmas was at
his boyhood home. He
remembered his last
Christmas present, a yellow and black toy pistol
which didn't shoot caps.
He knew how it felt to
belong to a poor family.
This letter was his
chance to make a difference.
•
Tackett and his
employees jumped in a
van and went looking for
the little girl. They found
her and the rest of her
family in Mare Creek, a
small community just
north of his club. The
house was ramshackle.
On the porch was an old
green car seat which sufficed for porch furniture.
It's mate was inside
doing duty as a living
. , room couch. The only
bed in the place was a
threadbare set of box
springs with a ragged old
blanket and bedspread
the only bedding.
A small pine tree
stood in the comer.
There were no presents
or ornaments. The chil-
wtheycanbed~~bu~d.
"This is culmination of the work
of a lot of people," Ferguson said.
"Marlow couldn't do it alone."
Ferguson said donations are really needed. "We've grown so much
through the years that we don't
have enough to give out to everyone."
He said last year, about 3,000
pounds of candy and 350 cases of
fruit were given out to needy families.
Families can take as many items
of clothing as they need.
Donations may be made by calling 432-4181,432-2070 or by
dropping them off at Marlow's
Country Palace.
And while the families are moving through the line, Tackett will
sing for the crowd. Someone will
read the Christmas story from the
Bible. "It's a real moving, real
touching day for everyone,"
Ferguson said. "But the highlight is
watching the kids."
He said the party is a dream
come true for Tackett.
"It is very successful and for that
reason, we've formed a foundation,
The Eastern Kentucky Needy
Children's Foundation," Ferguson
said. "All donations are now tax
deductible."
He said this is what Christmas
should be about.
''Once you take part in this, it
becomes a part of you," he said. "It
is neighbors helping neighbors."
The following letter which is printed verbatim was written by Richard Baldwin from
Clarksville, Tennessee, on April 15, 1865.
Baldwin was originally from Sneedville,
Tennessee, not far from the tri-state area of
Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia. It was
addressed to his brother Alfred, who was still
living in what is now Hancock County.
Dear Brother:
I have long intended to try to get a letter to
you but facilities are so imperfect that I hardly
think worthwhile to attempt writing. I quit the
service on the 12th of February and came to
this place.
I prefer this place to any other on several
accounts. In the first place, we have two railroads - one to Nashville, sixty-five miles, the
other to Bowling Green, and then we have
water communications which are very superior.
In fact, there is very seldom a time that a
steamboat is not in sight.
Another reason, my wife has a sister here
whose husband is of inestimable advantage to
me. I have commenced business here with a
capital of nearly four thousand dollars. I have a
pennit for goods and my brother-in-law will
buy my stock in Cincinnati next week. HeMr. Nixon-is a merchant.
I have rented me a little house to live in,
with four rooms, and have just got into it. My
little wife likes our start very well. I don't
know how long I will stay here. I prefer living
in the country when times get so I can do so in
safety.
The last time I heard from any of you was a
letter I got from Lizie last June. I would like
for you to come and see me if you could. I
would come there if I thought it was not dangerous but as I have escaped this long, I want
to live on for I feel now that I have something
more to live for than I ever had before.
I intend to come and see you all when times
get better; but I never expect to live there anymore. I suppose you have heard all about my
marriage long since. So there is no use of saying anything about that. If I knew you would
get this letter I would send you my wife's and
my own photograph: but will send them if you
will designate a medium.
I was in Washington three weeks ago. I
stayed there two weeks and had an interview
with Mr. Lincoln. I like him better and better. I
think he is as good a man as there is in the
world but I think Johnson (Andrew) comes
nearer combining all the essential qualities that
would constitute the best and greatest man that
lives.
We have an official report here this morning
that Mr. Lincoln was assassinated last night in
Fords Theatre in Washmgton and mortally
wounded from a pistol shot. I hope it may be
false.
The remainder of the letter is lost, probably
forever. His admiration of Andrew Johnson is
certainly noteworthy as on the very day the letter was written Johnson succeeded Lincoln as
president of the United States.
This was a time when the western United
States was still sparsely populated and many
Kentuckians and Tennesseans pulled up stakes
and moved westward. ·
In 1871, Alfred, the brother to whom the letter was written, built a flat boat, loaded his
family, horses and possessions, and floated
down the Clinch and Tennessee Rivers to
Paducah. There they loaded onto a wagon and
proceeded to Missouri where they settled.
Alfred's route took his family near ·
Clarksville, Tennessee, where his brother,
Richard, lived. I suspect they visited this last
time before Richard died the following year.

included Christmas trees made from
coat hangers, tape, twist ties and
garland.

Holiday mailing tips
The Prestonsburg post office is
going all out to help customers handle the busy holiday season.
'Because many people spend so
• much time searching for the perfect
'holiday gifts for family and friends,
the Postal Service wants to help
make sure that the delivery of those
gifts goes as smoothly as possible.
"Customers often ask me what
they can do to get their holiday
packages delivered on time and in
good shape," postmaster Edith
Risner said. ''The best advice I can
give them on timeliness is to talk
with the window clerk abou~the
available options. Many times, our
• customers are pleasantly surprised
to learn how little it costs to
upgrade from parcel post to Priority
Mail."
Another key to ensuring that
packages make their holiday deadlines is careful, proper addressing.
Postmaster Risner offers these tips
on addressing and she also has
some recommendations on packag·
ing techniques:
• Print your return address and
the recipient's address neatly on
only one side of the package, the
same side where the postage will
• go. Use waterproof, smudge-poof
ink.
• Include the address information
inside the package as well.
• Never guess at a ZIP Code.
Call the local post office to get the
correct one.
• Always include apartment or
suite numbers in an address. Use
the correct directional (such as N,
W, SW) and street suffix (such as
AVE, BLVD., ST).
·( Births
• Select a container strong
enough to protect the contents during handling.
• Always use reinforced tape.
Twine and cord tend to catch and
bind in mail processing equipment.
• Leave space for cushioning
mside the carton. The container
should have space to hold the contents plus cushioning to prevent
damage. Always use leak-proof
containers and mailing materials
when shipping liquids. Plain, airpopped popcorn makes an inexpensive, environmentally friendly
packing material. Other materials,
include polystyrene, shredded or
rolled newspaper, bubble plastic,
and fiberboard inserts.
• Special tip: Protect holiday
film sent off for processing from
getting lost by taping your name
and address to the side of the film
container. Then, if the film is separated from the envelope, we can get
it back to you.

Jack May's War
Editor's note: The following article is an excerpt from Robert
Perry:~ book, Jack May's "~r.
THE STAND-OFF AT LOUISA
Several Wl!cks after he returned
to Abingdon, Humphrey Marshall
,.sat down at his desk and composed
a personal letter to President Davis
II
at Richmond. Found years later
among the papers of his adjutant,
Edward 0. Guerrant. it clearly
shows that by the Winter of 186263, Marshall was fighting a defensive war. "It has ever been plain to

The region could be defended, he
argued, by three infantry regiments
stationed at Whitesburg, Hazard,
and Jackson. Along the north-south
line formed by these towns, his cavalry could patrol the countryside
and put down "all opposition that
was in any degree formidable."
Eastern Kentucky would furnish
the men for these regiments,
Marshall
believed,
if
the
Confederate Government would
promise them that they would not
be transferred to another theater of
the war:
The mountaineers of Kentucky
arc just like those of Virginia. They
have homes and families and little
properties, and they have friends
and pr~possessions and bitter prejudices. For all of these they will bitterly and stubbornly fight. It is to
the defense of these that I would
summon them, and when they take
sides with us, I think that they
will-around their own altars-be
as true as any soldiers in the
Confederacy.
With some pride, Marshall
reminded Davis that part of his
command still occupied the region.
The 5th Kentucky Infantry was
camped near Whitesburg, and "my
cavalry companies-three or four in
number-have
ranged
freely
through Eastern Kentucky ever
since your anny retired from the
state." These latter units included
Henry Giltner's 4th Kentucky
Cavalry, Ezekiel Clay's 1st
Kentucky Mounted Rifles, Thomas
Johnson's 2nd Kentucky Mounted
Rilles, and Jack May's lOth
Kentucky Cavalry, which was still
being organized. Marshall characterized this last unit as "three or
four companies of Kentucky horse
which I am trying to work into a
battalion for Colonel Jack May."
The men who enlisted in Jack's
regiment learned the tactics of cavalry warfare through on-tbe-job
training. The roster of Captain
George Diamond's company shows
that during January, 1863, it fought
two battles with the enemy-one at
"the Mouth of Quicksand Creek" on
January 8th, and one at Campton on
January 19th. Marshall's staff officers at Abingdon didn't learn of
these engagements until two weeks
later. On February lst Guerrant
wrote:
Captain George Diamond here
from the Kentucky [River]. Some
two thousand enemy on the Sandy.
Jack May on Rock House. Had a
fight over Henry Swango's body.
Three men killed, several wounded.
Henry Chapman Swango was
one of the eleven organizers of the
5th
Kentucky
Infantry
at
Prestonsburg in the Fall of 1861.
According to the official roster of
the regiment, he was killed in Wolfe
County by "Home Guards" on
Wednesday, December 6, 1995 C5
rjift Sfwp
January 18th, 1863. The anonymous author of The Swango Family
(St. Albans, 1976) says that he was
killed while he was on furlough,
and that his assailants shot him as
he was standing on his father's front
porch. If we combine these facts
with those mentioned above, we arc
drawn to the conclusion that the
"fight over Henry Swango's body"
occurred at Campton on January
19th. Noble's narrative also mentions this event. In the Summer of
1864, after he was released from
prison, Noble paid a vislt to James
Allen at his home on Bear Branch
in Wolfe County. In the course of
the evening, Allen told Noble
"about the Yankees killing Captain
Swango near Campton."
Guerrant's phrase, "a fight over
Henry Swango's body," is an
intriguing one. Was the fight at
Campton on January 19th literally a
fight to regain possession of Henry
Swango's body? I don't think so.
What Guerrant is probably suggesting is that the fight was a grud~e
fight, a fight which Jack May"
waged in order to settle accounts
with Henry's murderers. What
probably happened was this: on
January 18th, while he was camped
with his new regiment on Rock
House Creek below Whitesburg,
Jack learned that his friend Henry
Swango had been murdered by
Campton's Home Guards. Filled
with rage and grief, he retaliated by
attacking their camp near Campton
on January 19th and killing three of
them.
During the Winter of 1862-63, as
this incident illustrates, Kentucky
was the target of numerous cavalry
raids. In December, raiders under
John Hunt Morgan galloped into
Central Kentucky and destroyed
two bridges on the LouisvilleNashville Railroad. In February a
force under Roy S. Cluke crossed
the Cumberland below Somerset
and raided
Mount Vernon,
Richmond, Winchester and Mount
Sterling. The strength of the Union
presence in the mountains during
this period can be measured by the
fact that Cluke's men spent a whole
month hovering around Mount
Sterling, fattening their horses and
sacking local stores, before a
Federal force arrived that was
strong enough to drive them away.

First-time parents are overwhelmed
You've waited nme long months,
gone through the grueling btrth
experience and taken your new bundle of joy home. You thought you
were prepared, but now you feel
overwhelmed by being a first-time
parent.
"You can read books, take parenting courses and talk to parents to
learn a lot. But there's really nothing that completely prepares you for
when you bring your newborn
home," said Edward Maxwell Jr.,
M.D., clinical director of the
Kentucky Department for Mental
Health and Mental RetardatiOn
Services.
"It overwhelms most people
when they try to care for their newborn during the first two months
and when they think about the
incredible responsibility they have
undertaken to raise this new person.
'This is truly a learn as you go
experience because each baby is
unique in many ways. Plus, they
change daily and parents have to
adjust as their baby grows," said
Maxwell, an associate professor of
psychiatry at the University " of
Kentucky.
He said new parents should
expect changes to occur in their
mental relationship, finances, relationships with family and friends,
and physical and mental energy.
A child dilutes the amount of
time a couple can devote solely to
each other, because the baby
requires a lot of attention, he said.
People considering having a baby
should realize that a child does not
think or act like a little adult, and
that they require a lot of time and
love.
"When you choose to be a parent, you've chosen the most important and difficult job you can do,"
he said. "The challenges of raising a
child change throughout the life,
but it's just as difficult and rewarding in eack stage."
Max well suggested that parents
prepare for their baby by planning
for the child together. They should
talk about it, go through birthing
and parenting classes together, read
books, talk to other parents, and
prepare a place for the baby in their
home.
New parents also should expect
to be sleep deprived and drained
when the baby arrives. They can
work through those problems by
realizing this is normal, accepting
help from family and friends, sharing rl!sponsibilities and making
time to spend as a couple nurturing
each other, he said.
New parents also have to acquire
new skills. It's important to realize
that as with any new skills, it takes
time to learn and adjust and to find
out who does what best, he said.
The couple should be attuned to
experiences of major depression or
mood swings by the mother due to
changes in hormone levels following the birth, the mental health
counselor said.
If the mother is not emotionally
available to her baby, the father
should seek professional help from
their physician.
In the area of finances, Maxwell
said couples need to have a solid
understanding of the costs involved
before they conceive a child. He
recommends getting a good health
insurance policy if the couple does
not have one to cover pregnancy
and in case of birth problems, saving money and establishing a budget before the pregnancy. If the
pregnancy is unexpected, the couple should start financial planning
as soon as they find out.
If the couple does not have family close by, they should develop a
support network of friends, coworkers, and church members
before the baby arrives, he suggested. They also should seek out mentors to help them if their parents are
not available.
One experience new parents
often feel inadequate to deal with is
their baby's illnesses.
"It's normal for parents to get
frantic when their baby gets s1ck,
even when it isn't serious. Parents
can get books to study common
childhood illnesses and developmental stages," Maxwell said.
Sometimes new parents, especially those who have not been
around newborns, have fears about
handling their infant. Maxwell said
while there are certain things a parent should never do, such as shaking their baby, and things parents
should do, such as closely supervising their infant, parents should not
be afraid to hold and play with their
newborn.
"There are precious few childrearing mistakes that have a longterm permanent mark on children,"
Maxwell said. "New parents will
find that with experience comes
sdf-con fidence."
If you or your spouse are having
problems adjusting to parenthood,
Maxwell suggests talking to your
doctor or getting professional men-
tal health help.
Help is available through
Kentucky's 14 regional mental
health/mental retardation services
centers.

Kentucky's economy should
grow at a rate of 2. 7 percent
through most of 1996, fueled primarily by modest growth in the
manufacturing sector, although its
growth may be slower than in
recent years, economists at the
University of Kentucky's College
of Business and Economics say.
"While manufacturing industries
are expected to contract nationally,
Kentucky remains a good and competitive place to do business," said
Eric Thompson, an economist with
UK's Center for Business and
Economic Research.
Thompson noted Kentucky's
manufacturing sector has outperformed the nation during the last
five years.
But he said expected growth is
not limited to manufacturing.
"Overall job growth is forecast to
be higher than nationally,"
Thompson said.
Indicators point to a 2.1 percent
growth in employment during 1996
in Kentucky, he said. That would
outpace expected growth nationally, which is forecast at 1.9 percent,
he said.
But one of the state's main
employers, coal mining, is expected
to experience further job loss, he
said. The number of people working in coal will shrink by 1.6 percent, Thompson predicted.
The loss of coal jobs will result
from improved technology. "Coal
mining in Kentucky and everywhere in the U.S. is experiencing
very rapid productivity growth"
!:>ecause of more efficient equipment being used in mines,
Thompson said.
Meanwhile, UK finance professor Charles Haywood foresees a
slowing in the growth of personal
income in Kentucky.
In recent years, personal income

Senior citizens, throughout the
month of December, Sunshine
Lines will be dealing with various
aspects of your benefits counseling
program. You who read this column
every week are already aware of the
Kentucky Benefits Counseling
Program for Senior Citizens
(KBCP) and what it strives to do for
older Americans in beautiful
Appalachia. Many of you have been
helped through this program or you
know someone who has been assist-
The Floyd County Times
ed in one way or another through
our efforts. Some, however, are new
subscribers to the Floyd County
Times and have not had the opportunity to learn about this program as
you have. We want every semor citizen who is rightfully entitled to
benefits to receive them. So often
senior citizens don't know what
benefits are available to them or
they need help in working through
the red tape to acquire them.
For all new readers and as a
refresher course for all avid readers
of Sunshine Lines, the next few
weeks I will offer a brief history of
the program and its purpose. You
will learn who sponsors it in our
area and who you can call to discuss
your needs. I will talk about the
problems facing this program as it
struggles for survival and I will tell
you what makes it work for your
good.
For a long time, one big problem
that our senior citizens found perplexmg was not knowing where to
turn for help in certain situations.
Another problem was that they
learned about a program that could
have helped them long after the
need no longer existed. To be the
victim of either situation is disheartening.
To solve this problem the state
designed a program called the
Kentucky Benefits Counseling
Program to act as an information
and referral center for senior citizens. Through this program, senior
citizens are encouraged to call our
office and to discuss their need with
How to avoid
being lonely
during the holidays
Not everyone is busy during the
holidays, visiting family and
friends. Sometimes the joviality of
the season only serves to highlight
the isolation of those who are
alone, says Radford University
psychology professor Jeffrey
Chase.
"Loneliness is typically an
unseen pain because of the very
nature of the problem," Chase says.
"Who will know since you are
alone?" People are inherently
sociable and, like many mammals,
desire to belong to a "pack," he
says-but with technology such as
television, the Internet and ATM
cards, people can seem to be "connected" and still essentially be
alone.
Job changes, increasing mobility, and distance from relatives
make a true connection even more
difficult to maintain than in the
past, he says.
Chase warns that isolation and
loneliness are often progressive in
nature. "Peole in this situation are
often Jess socially skilled, more
reserved, and more shy, making the
opportunity to meet people less
likely. And when they do meet people, they are often less successful
socially," he says. Also, once
you're out of the social loop, you
can be forgotten and others don't
even think about inviting you.
To avoid being lonely, Chase
suggests:
• Get involved in your local
church. This is a way to meet new
people, remain more active, and
perhaps do good works for others
that often makes you feel better.
• Develop a hobby and get
involved with others who have similar interests.
• Altruism generally makes
everyone involved feel better, so
volunteer.
• Take a course at a local college
or, if you're older, think about programs such as Elderhostel. Remain
intellectually active and meet others with similar interests.
• Support groups can also be
valuable for getting you in touch
with others.
And for those who are not lonely, Chase suggests pausing in the
midst of the hustle and bustle to
think about how to reach out to
those you know who may be forgotten.

your need, it is our job to refer you
to an agency or an organization that

Of course, every program has eligibility requirements, but if you're

A cat tale with a
purr-feet ending
by Mike Capuzzo
CAT LOVERS ALERT: Feline fans
who are flooding me with submissions
for the most fanciful, fun cat contest on
the planet, send your touching, funny,
remarkable and everyday-magic stories
and pictures to the Wild Things Great
American Cat Contest, P.O. Box 376,
Moorestown, NJ 08057. Some of you
are mailing entries to the WRONG P.O.
BOX, which we won't name. Winners,
4r of course. will have their cats and cat
~tories praised far and wide by Wild
Things, with museum-quality illustrations to boot.
This morning on a whim I pulled one
entry from the top of the pile. It was
from Judi Blumenthal of Doylestown,
Pennsylvania, and if your story is as
touching as Judi's, this contest will be
more fun than a case of catnip.
One mild December eve, Judi was
barbecuing on the patio. Willie, her
11-year-old black and white cat, must
~have slipped out then. "We never
noticed his absence," Judi says. "I
guess we were preoccupied with our
adorable new Abyssinian kitten who
was, as usual, putting on his cute kitten
show."
Willie didn't answer Judi's bedtime
call. So she took to the streets, with
flashlight in hand. No luck. Worried
sick, she slept without him that night.
The next morning her panic grew when
there was still no Willie to be found.
• Driving her youngest child to school,
Judi,
heartsick
saw
Willie's
black-and-white form by the roadside.
"As I did not want my son to see, I
took him to school, and returned to the
spot without him." Tears in her eyes,
Judi drove to her husband's office. He
had an office party planned that day,
but it was time to make room in his day
for something else. He left work and
solemnly picked up Willie from the
road. It was one of the saddest
moments of their lives. "We buried him
along the creek in a beautiful spot," she
says. "We truly loved him."
Some folks can mourn a cat for
years, so it was no surprise that Judi
was still grieving 11 days later. But on
that bitterly cold, icy day, she heard a
wailing from the garage. She opened
the door and a black-and-white cat
walked in like he owned the place. He
looked familiar, although his white fur
was quite dirty. "After drinking two full
bowls of water, and eating the best tuna
fish in the house, Willie was back,"
Judi says. "I guess he didn't want us to
think that we had buried the wrong
cat!"
In other cat news, if you're looking
to adopt your first Lazarus cat, or even
if you're a cat veteran, there's an excellent new guidebook out. It's "Good
Owners, Great Cats" (Warner Books,
$19.95), by Brian Kilcommons and
Sarah Wilson, authors of the widely
praised "Good Owners, Great Dogs."
"From behavior to toys to feeding to air
travel, the questions most human cat
companions want answered are here,"
says Franklin M. Loew, dean of the
Cornell University veterinary school.

tum on a dime like Labrador retrievers.
But Baby Huey, a mega-mutt, did.
I had spent the morning at the shelter where I had adopted Buddy, my
marmalade-sweet, 16 pound orange
cat, years ago. And at the shelter
around the corner where I rescued
Daisy, my 55-pound collie-shepherdfrisbee retriever mix. What was I seeking now? Lord knows. I haven't
enough room in my apartment for
another critter.
But like you, I know the pound is the
best place to acquire a new family
member-better quality at lower prices
than you find in pet shops or newspaper
ads. And an adult dog is better than a
puppy, for my taste. They can slide into
your home like a long-lost friend.
Then I saw Baby Huey. I was terrified. Baby was wild, a 150-pound
puppy bounding off the fences like an
electron in a bear costume. It took him
20 minutes to calm down. Then, he
hardly noticed me.
This is normal behavior if you're
couch-casting for a dog in a shelter, my
friend, dog trainer Brian Kilcommons,
assured me. "When you look at an
older dog, don't judge him on how he
behaves with you," says Brian, author,
with Sarak Wilson, of "Child-Proofing
Your Dog" (Warner Books, $8.99).
"After all, he doesn't know you. Watch
how he is with 'his' people. If he's
friendly and calm with them, that's a
good sign. If he is uncontrollable, stay
clear."
Speak to the shelter staff. They
know the nice dogs and can give you a
lead on one, Brian says. When you

walk through the kennels, you may
want to bring earplugs for your children. It's a racket! "No hands or fingers
in cages!" Brian emphasizes.
The dog you want may bark his
hello, but when you move on, he settles
down.
Beware
the
yowling
cage-thrasher who can't calm down.
"The ideal dog was raised with kids,
comes up to the front of the cage eagerly, and quiets down pretty quickly once
you're past, Brian says. "There will
probably be two or three like this on
any one visit. Next, let your kids walk
toward the cages. Have them speak
calmly and in a friendly manner. Does
the dog seem interested in the child? Is
he friendly? That's great! Backing
away or refusing to say hello are not
good signs."
You probably have a couple of dogs
picked out by now. Ask the staff if they
can let them out. After your dog gets
over its post-confinement wild streak,
"talk to him softly, scratch under his
neck and chin," Brian says. "If he
calms down a bit, that's a good sign.
"Once you find a dog friendly to the
kids, not too barky and calms down a
bit when given the chance," Brian
advises, "adopt her."
Baby Huey was beloved by the staff,
calmed down a bit, and ran to the pen
when he saw me again, but never really sat still enough to get a pet. Not a
good sign. Nonetheless, I'll probably
visit again. He's the only horse I ever
saw that could catch a frisbee.

Holly
trees can live
for 200 years. There are about 300
species of holly trees and shrubs. Most
of the species have "male" and
"female" counterparts, and the two
must be planted within pollinating distance in order to produce the fruit-like
berries. The female holly has the berrybearing flower (the pistillate) and the
other holly has the pollen-bearing
flower (the staminate).
Hollies produce berries in cold climates and the berries usually ripen in
October, remaining throughout the winter months. The red fruit of the holly
aren't really berries. They are actually
drupes, fruits with stones. The fruit is
poisonous.
DONKEY
Manager scenes at Christmas often
include a representation of a donkey
because the baby Jesus was born in a
stable. Donkeys are often mistaken for
mules. Mules have long ears, a tufted
tail, slender legs, small hooves and a
loud bray. They are also sterile and
cannot produce offspring. A mule is
actually an offspring of a mare. a
female horse, and a male donkey,
called a jack.
Donkeys are often used as pack animals because they are sure-footed and
strong. They are capable of carrying an
adult for a considerable distance.
Usually, the light, speedy donkey is
used for transporting people The larger, heavier donkey is used to pull wagons and carts and carry heavy loads.

Jessamine
County: Part II
by Elexene Cox
From the early days, it was the law
that every able-bodied man aged 21 to
45 was to report for drills on the 16th of
September. Two regiments,
the
Jessamine Blues and Jessamine Grays,
were formed. The men were
called "The Corn Stalk
Militia."
In the War of 1812, 600
of Jessa~in~'s sons, two full
compames m all, marched
from Water Street in
Lexington on to Newport in
drenching rain. In a battle
near Toledo, many were shot
down and scalped. In the
Battle of the Thames,
Jessamine men used as their
battle cry, "Remember the
Raisin." Their conducted
and courage routed the Indians, and
the great chief Techumseh was killed.
Snow was two feet deep.
By the early 1860s, "2.9" Scott's
heirs owned much land near the
Kentucky River. The federal government confiscated many acres to establish Camp Nelson. Union Military
Headquarters became the "stars of
freedom" in Kentucky As news spread
by word of mouth, slaves and their
families took to the road in search of
freedom. A congressional act in 1862
decreed that slaves of rebel owners
would be granted freedom by enlisting
in Union labor battalions, and that wives
and children might follow them out of
bondage. For a time, meager quarters
were provided for them at Camp Nelson.
But in the coldest November on record,
women and children were turned out of
the camp by Union officers. Many froze
to death on the road.
In April 1861, the War Between the
States began. The people of Jessamine
County were divided in sentiment.
Company K of the 20th Regiment,
Kentucky Infantry, commanded by Col.
Sanders Bruce, was almost altogether
composed of Jessamine county men.
They served three years.
In 1862, Dr. Charles Mann, a
Confederate surgeon, was ordered by
Gen. Kirby Smith to gather the sick and
wounded who had been left at Camp
Dick Robinson after the Battle of
Penyville. He brought 80 in private conveyances to Nicholasville to be cared for
by ladies of the community at
Nicholasville Baptist Church, Christian
church, and George Walker's home on
Oak Street. Those who died were buried
at Maple Grove.
After the war, Dr. Mann, James
McKenzie, and Charles Oldham gathered the Confederates who had been
buried at Camp Nelson and brought
and 20 cents.
Camp Nelson National Cemetery was
established the summer after the war
ended.
In 1876, the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad built a fine depot west of
Nicholasville. Trains brought mail and
produce into what they n'amed "Scott's
Station." An unhappy lawsuit resulted in
another tract of land being given by J.R.
Wilmore. Another new depot was built.
A settlement grew up around this sta-
Several Kentucky towns, including
Shakertown, were considered. In the
end, the citizens of Wilmore cast the
deciding vote by raising $15,000 for the
reconstruction for the school.
In 1879 on September 17, everyone
in town headed out beyond Wilmore to
see a new bridge dedicated. I~ was the
highest bridge over a navigable stream
ever to be completed. U.S. President
Rutherford B. Hayes and Civil War hero
Bill Sherman were the honored guests.

On September 16, 19p9, ground was

for a $15 million Kentucky Veterans
Center, the first in Kentucky.

them to Maple Grove. The original
wooden headboards which had rotted
were replaced with stone ones.
After the war, a brignt spot came for
Jessamine residents. Capt. Billy Bryant
and his showboat "Princess" began to
ply the Kentucky River with stops at
Brooklyn, Camp Nelson and Valley
View. An auditorium on the boat had oilburning footlights. Capt. Billy's family
and a crew of four did shows like "Uncle
Tom's Cabin," "Lane Rivers," etc. Box
seats were 35 cents; others were 15 cents
tion, and the name was changed to
Wilmore and the college grew in tandem.
In February 1892, the local newspaper reported that "from a depot and
some hemp fields sprung a thriving village. Much of the prosperity is due to the
function of Asbury College in that
place."
All was well until the disastrous 1909
fire which destroyed much of the original campus. College leaders considered
starting anew in another location.
Great crowds came on excursions by
train from Cincinnati and Lexington to
picnic, dance and hear great speakers
like William Jennings Bryan and preachers like Billy Sunday. Round-trip tickets
were 65 cents and $1.
Then it was 1898 and time for
Nicholasville's 1OOth birthday. Main
Street had fine buildings and all kinds of
businesses. Many miles of turnpikes,
country stores, schools and post offices
were scattered over the county.
Agriculture had become a highly prof-
itable occupation.
Many homes boasted a shiny new oak
icebox from Sears. John Reynolds and
Herb Clark took their ice-wagons out
every day watching for cardboard window signs to know how much ice to
carry in. It was a lucky day when kids
could bag a piece of chipped ice.
By the I 950s, Main Street was the
center of Nicholasville activities. Only
the luckiest found parking places on
Saturdays. Country folk came in early,
and many town folks would park their
cars and walk back home, then co~
back "to watch the people go up a~
down." Pretty girls promenaded, and
guys lined up by store fronts to watch.
Baskett's Restaurant was "the place to
get a 15-cent hamburger, and girls were
cautioned never to walk on the east side
of the street in front of the pool rooms.
Jessamine politics were always hot as
the hottest summer. Politicians would
gather at the courthouse to argue their
choices.
When World War II began to change
so many lives, folks in Nicholasville
took their beautiful old iron fences to the
junkyard to be used in the war effort.
The 1,1 ,50 names listed on the bronze
plaque in the courthouse show those
Jessamine Countians who served, anlf
on another plaque the 30 who did not
return.
Almost every veteran who came back
to Jessamine after the war was anxious
to fulfill that great American dream- a
home to call his own. Building materials
were scarce. Bathroom fixtures could
only be obtained through a veterans' priority certificate. But by the late '40s and
early '50s, Yeary Lumber Company and
Herbert Johns' businesses were built.
Then came Moss Heights along Keene
Pike. The big problem then was how tj
tie onto the sewer. They had to tunnel
under the railroad tracks and under land.
Nicholasville and Jessamine County
grew, spreading further and further out.
By 1959, a new high school was completed ...
1980 was the start of the big autumn
festival, "The Jessamine Jamboree,"
which annually draws 50,000 people to
Nicholasville the first weekend in
October.
From 1970 on, with the assurance ot>
a good water supply and natural gas,
industry mushroomed all over Jessamine
County, and new subdivisions sprang up
in every direction. Nicholasville became
one of the fasted growing population
centers in Kentucky.

(There seems to be se\·eral versions of the way
Garrett got its start. This one was related to
'readers of A History of Floyd County by William
Jennings Martin and Alice 0. Martin .)
Garrett actually began back in the 1800s when
a Virginia settler named Jack Neal came to Rock
Fork Creek on the Right Fork of Beaver Creek to
'make his home.
He owned nearly all the land that we know as
.Garrett. In 1868, Jack Neal died, leaving this
.land to his niece, Mary Estep, who was his only
heir. By the time Mary Estep and her husband,
Nathaniel, came to Garrett to live, they had
neighbors because other settlers, the Aliens,
Hortons, Castles, Hays, and Martins, had arrived.
•
At this time, the settlement did not even have
a name, and in 1896 when Mr. Estep was finally
able to establish the need for a post office here, it
.was named "Ballard" after Mrs. Estep's brother.
Mrs. Estep's husband, Nathaniel "Can" Estep
was the first postmaster.
The settlers of Ballard lived quietly until 1910 when the

Virginia sent in
their agents to
purchase some
28 acres of land
between Stone
Coal Creek and
Garrett Hollow
from Leek and
Katie Martin,
for which they
paid $4,000.
On this
property in
1912, the company built a company store, 104 double houses for
their employees and 33 single
family, two story houses located
on "Garrett Hill" for their managers.
The building materials were loaded on wagons
and hauled by mule teams from Allen. They also
arrived by push boats up the deep channel of
Beaver Creek to Garrett. All these houses had
electric lights and were heated with natural gas,
but none of them had indoor plumbing. The company also constructed a recreation building with a
theater, pool hall, barber shop and fountain.
When the new coal company town was completed in 1914, the post office was moved to the
company store and named Garrett for John and
Robert Garrett, two of their wealthy stockholders
in the Elkhorn Coal Company. J .A. Vincent was
appointed the new postmaster. Late postmasters
were Virgie Spencer, Willis Conley, Miami
Conley, and Edna Everage.
The Elkhorn and Beaver Valley Railroad from
Allen to the new town of Garrett, although begun
in 191 0, was not completed until 1914 and a railway station was established at Garrett. Garrett
became a busy little coal town with the railroad
bringing people anxious for a better life. They
bought the land between the railroad and Beaver
Creek which had been divided into lots by Leek
and Katie Martin, and the town grew.
New coal companies came and built their own
hoses for their miners: Standard Elkhorn Coal
Company and Wells Elkhorn Coal Company,
Number Six.
The coal companies brought to Garrett, among
other things, company doctors to care for the
miners and their families. Dr. M. V. Wicker, Dr.
Charles Sturgill, Dr. J. H. Allen and Dr. Chandler.
Of all these, the one whom all oldef residents of
Garrett remember with such gratitude is Dr. Mark
Dempsey. Dr. Dempsey carne to Garrett from
West Virginia in 1924 and for 60 years practiced
his profession caring for all who needed him up
the creeks and hollows of Floyd County and
beyond.
The building where his office was located still
lands at the southern edge of the town of Garrett.
In 1930, Kentucky Route 80 reached Garrett,
although it was not paved until 1935. The coal
mines were at peak production and Garrett was
like a "boom" town. Whiskey sales were legal •
and ''Piccolo Street" was notorious for brawls,
bloodshed and killings. The old steel bridge
which spans Beaver Creek was built in 1935 by
52 WPA workers for $2,498.50 using materials
from an old bridge moved from another location.
Garrett's educational system improved too,
during the years 1928 through 1940. Stone Coal
School, a log structure built in 1888, Baptist
Bottom and Bolen Branch, were all consolidated
and the high school was built in 1929 with
·
Clau® Fraley the first principal. Sch<>J'l colors
were orange and black and the name of the basketball team was Garret Black Devils. There was
also a "pay school" established by the Elkhorn
Company for the children of company employees, but by paying tuition, others could enroll. In
June 1935, Garrett Consolidated School was
reported to have the largest school in Floyd
County with a school census of 1, 187. Thus in
1937, a new building was built through WPA
funds and laborers. When the school first became
a high school, they were required to have a set of
encyclopedias. Ellis Martin rode a mule to Alice
Lloyd College at Pippa Passes to bring back the
set of encyclopedia donated by the college. A
piano was another requirement for the school and
was paid for by donations solicited by the parents.
The oldest and largest established church in
Garrett is the Stone Coal Regular Baptist Church .
It was established in 1888 on Stone Coal Creek,
was moved to Rock Fork Creek; was moved to
Rock Fork Creek; and later to Baptist Bottom
where the church now stands.
In 1920, the Methodist
Church came and in
1926, Mary Estep
deeded the
property for
First
Methodist Church.
The original structure bux:ned in
1934 and services
were held in a tent
until 1936 when
enough money had
been collected
through tithes,
offerings and paydeductions with
the help of Mr. H.H.
Horsby, manager at
Elkhorn
Company store, to
construct a new
building. In
1936, the
Baptist
Church was
established
with the help
of a missionary
known as Miss
Annie. Services

U.S. Supreme Court
House
Checks and balances are limitations on the power of any branch of
government, with each branch having some control over the actions of the
others. The United States system of government is based on a set of
checks and balances, designed to prevent one person or branch of
government from becoming too powerful.
The Constitution of the United States divides the powers of the federal
government among the President, the Congress, and the federal courts.
Each branch has some powers that offset those of the other two. For
example, the President can veto bills passed by Congress. But the veto
power is balanced by Congress's power to pass bills over a veto. The
President influences the federal courts by appointing judges, and such
appointments require congressional approval. But the fe~eral courts can
restrain both the President and the Congress with their power to declare
presidential orders or legislative acts unconstitutional.
The system of checks and balances also works between the two houses
of Congress. Before a bill becomes law, both the Senate and the House
of Representatives must approve it in identical form. If the Senate and
House pass different versions, a conference committee of senators and
representatives tries to work out the differences. This system ensures that
both houses of Congress will have a voice in making laws.
Many countries have a democratic government without a system of
checks and balances or separation of the powers of government. In
Australia, Canada, and Great Britain, for example, executive power rests
with the prime minister and Cabinet, who are members of Parliament, the
legislative body. In addition, the courts in certain of these countries,
including Great Britain and Switzerland, cannot declare an act of the
nation's Parliament invalid.

The alarm clock goes off. It's 6:30 a.m. It's cold
outside. It's not so warm inside because the heaters
haven't taken the morning chill out of the air.
Some kids would roll over. snuggle down into their
warm quilts and blankets and go back to sleep. But at
least eight Floyd County students made a point of
climbing out of that bed and heading off to school - '
for several years in a row.
The eight were honored last year for having perfect
attendance, for either their entire elementary or high
school careers.
Earning honors for perfect attendance for grades
kindergarten through eighth were Contessa Sheena
Brock, Willie D. Case, and Christopher D. Case.
Having perfect attendance throughout high school
were Mark Adkins, Frank Elliott, Ryan Dwayne
Hamilton, Stewart E. Robertson, and Sheila

Contessa Sheena Brock is the daughter of Lowell
and Rita Brock of Prestonsburg. She attended Adams
Middle School and had perfect attendance from 1986
to 1995.
"It was more or less her initiative to go to school,''
her father, Lowell, said. "We've always encouraged
her to go, but she's always wanted to go on her own.
There were a lot of days when she was sick, when she
had a cold, but she went anyway."
He says his wife had a big influence on his daughter's attendance.
"It'll be nine years if she makes it this year," Rita
Brock said. "But she always wanted to go."
Rita said her father (Sheena's grandfather) was a
big influence on her daughter having perfect atten-1
dance, an influence that goes back to when Rita and!
her brothers had perfect attendance themselves.
"I had 10 brothers and five of them had perfect
attendance for 12 years," she said. "I went for eight
straight years with perfect attendance. My father
wanted us to do something different."
She said she never pushed her daughter into going
to school. "There would be days when she was sick • R
and I'd try to get her to stay home. She'd say 'There's h
no way I'm missing.' "
She said her daughter wants to break a record and
go for 12 years without missing. "That's what she
wants to do,'' Rita Brock said. "I think that's a big U
thing for a'kid to do. They've got to have the initia- R
tive to go."
d
Sheena said she goes because she enjoys school H
and because it makes her parents happy. The 14-yearold said her friends think she's crazy for going to o
school all the time.

The Earth
Explorer
by Mollie Ann Mcl\1illan
M.A.M. Publishing Co.
Dana, Kentucky
s
One day, I was playing outside with
my friends, Cori Mantilea, Lindsey
Hope, and Amanda Joseph, we felt the
ground start to shake furiously. I felt
like I could throw up any minute. All of
a sudden, we heard a rumbling sound
and the ground in front of Cori cracked.
Magma and lava started to flow everywhere. We ran as fast as our legs could
carry us; with the lava getting closer
and closer to the backs of our gym
shoes. We screamed our lungs out.
Since we were running so fast, we
didn't see the large crack in front of us
until Cori fell in it.
"Hceellllppp!" Cori screamed.
Since I was right behind Cori, I
plopped down on my belly and reached
my hand into the fault, desperately trying to grab Cori's hand. Cori had luckily grabbed a ledge of rock that was
sticking out of one side of the fault.
"Grab on!" I yelled to her.
The rock ledge was too far down
inside of the crack for me to reach Cori
all by myself, so Lindsey and Amanda
pitched in.
Lindsey held my ankles and lowered
me into the humongus crack. Amanda
was holding Lindsey's ankles, just in
case Lindsey slipped. I was dangling
from my ankles reaching for Cori. Just
after I had got hold of Cori 's hand, the
lava burnt the toe of Amanda's shoe
and we all fell into earth's crust.
We fell straight through the crust and
landed with a thud on the mantle, the
second layer of the earth.
We were jumping all over the place
and screaming, "Hot! Hot! Hot!"
because the mantle is extremely hot,
and it was burning our feet off!
"It's so hot down here that I feel like
a fry!" Amanda joked, "Get it, fry?"
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, I get it," I
answered, not one bit impressed by the
joke. It's so hot down here that our feet
feel like they are frying. It felt like
mine were about to melt! "How can
you tell jokes at a time like this?" I
asked Amanda.
"I was just trying to brighten things
up a little," Amanda muttered.
Just then, the fault closed, which
kept the lava from falling in on our
heads. That was a good thing, but that
open fault was also our way out.
"Well, at least we didn't land in a
magma pool when we fell in here,"
Lindsey said.
Lindsey was right. If we would have
fallen into a magma pool, we would all
be dead by now. That was something to
be thankful for.
Lucky for us, some short, funny
looking people with hot pink skin, long
necks and bulging eyes drove up to us
in their big, round mantle-mobile. The
vehicle looked like a big ball with little
bent poles sticking out of it with wheels
attached to them. Like their skin, the
automobile was pink. It had a "visitor
viewer" that was a lot like the thing on
top of a submarine that's used to find
enemies. They said that they used the
viewer to find people besides them that
had fallen into the earth, so they could
help them out. They also said they were
Core People, who live inside of the
earth's core.
"Hop in, y' all!" one of the pink people called us, "we have air conditionin'!"
"I've never seen hot pink, countryspeaking people before," I whispered
to Lindsey.
"Well, they look friendly. Besides,
we can't stand in this type of heat forever," Lindsey whispered back.
So, we walked to the car's only door
and went in. We had to climb up about
four steps before we were on the surface of the mantle-mobile's floor. We
were amazed at the sight before us.
"Whoa," I said in awe.
"Cool," Lindsey said in disbelief.
"Neat!" Cori and Amanda said in
unison, becoming more and more
amazed every minute.
The instde of the car looked like a
miniature version of the Star Trek
Enterprise's control room. The outside
of the car looked like something Dr.
Suess would invent; but the inside
looked, well, wow!
The Core People gave us special
"cool shoes~ to keep our feet from getting hot. They patched up Amanda's
burnt shoe and put some medicine on
her foot to help the burn heal faster and
to take away the pain. The Core People
led us to our seats and drove straigtit
down into the core, the third layer of
the earth. (They wanted to show us
their neighborhood.) After we'd seen
the whole town, they drove us back up
through the earth's crust. They figured
that we might have been getting a little
hot down there. (The Core People have
special skin that keeps them cooled
off.)
After a few good-byes, we set off on
our way home.
··come back any time," The oldest of
the group of Core People called after
us.
"We will," I said. (Like we'll ever
fall into a fault again.)
We were glad to be home. The trip
was fun, but we were glad to be home.
Do you think you'll ever have an
adventure like the one we had? Who
knows? Maybe someday you will.

Washing
How impurities are re111oved from coal
Discorded pieces
Excess
moisture
Kathy E. Walker, President
Mining companies remove mineral impurities from coal
by a process called cleaning. The process involves th.ree
main steps. (1) A screening device sorts the coal mto
'batches of three sizes. (2) Each batch is piped into a
separate washing device and mixed with water. The
impurities in coal are heavier than pure coal. As a result,
the first pieces of coal to settle to the bottom of each
solution are those that contain the most impurities. Any
loose pieces of rock or clay mixed in with the coal also
sink to the bottom. All the waste pieces are discarded.
(3) The clean pieces are dried with vibrators or hot-air
blowers. The coal is then ready for shipment to buyers.

Dear Jacque,
Most houses have a thermostat. It's
a switch that turns your furnace on
when the room temperature goes
down. When the room gets warm
again, the thermostat turns the
furnace off.
A part of our brain does the same
thing. When we get cold, 2 things
happen: Less blood goes to your
skin (that saves heat) and your
muscles begin to twitch, so your
teeth can chatter.
Twitching muscles burn the energy
your body has stored and that can
help keep you warmer.

Dear D.R.,
One of the ways we keep track of
time is the spin of the Earth. That
means the Earth is like an enormous
clock.
The sun overhead is like the clock's
hand. Wherever the sun is straight
up, it's noon. On the other side of the
planet from noontime, it's midnight.
And midnight is when we change
days and begin tomorrow.
That means tomorrow moves around
the planet as the planet spins. But
the next date has to start somewhere.
That's what the International Date
Line is - the place tomorrow begins!
It's not a real line. It's just a place all
Earthlings agree on. We all agree that
tomorrow will begin there.

Mountain Christian Academy
invites you to join its first
Annual Fund Campaign
''YOU Make the Difference!"
GOAL: $100,000
Mountain Christian Academy was founded in 1983 as an inter-denominational school with one
mission: to provide quality education for the children of Appalachia whether or not they could afford
a private education. MCA's students presently score in the top 25% of students in America and MCA
is justifiably proud of these children who want to achieve a higher level of academic excellence. Great
Christian teachers have been and continue to be at the root of MCA's success - those who give
diligently of themselves to provide instruction, discipline, and Christian love to each one. They work
for 75% of what their public school peers earn annually. Why? Working in a Christian atmosphere is
less stressful and provides them a greater means of making a difference in the lives ofthe children they
teach.
Won't you consider becoming a part of this success story? With an annual budget of $663,505, MCA
invests $3,835 to educate each of its students. Those who can afford the tuition pay $1,750 per academic
year. YOU Make the Difference by contributing to make up the remaining balance. Thank you!

RIGHT SIDE VIEW OF SKULL
·The Skull
by the editors of Dorling
Kindersley
When bikers or motorcyclists hit
the road they wear a helmet, a hard
fiberglass shell that protects their
heads from injury. The skull is also
a helmet, of a sort. It's a large mass
of bone that protects the brain.
Below we see a chimpanzee's
skull. Compare it with the human
skull.
RIGHT SIDE VIEW OF
SKULL: The skull is the most
complicated bony structure of the
body - but every feature serves a
purpose. Internally, the main hollow chamber of the skull has three
levels that support the brain, with
every bump and hollow corresponding to the shape of the brain.
Underneath and toward the back of
the skull is a large round hole,
called the foramen magnum,
through which the spinal cord passes. To the front of this are many
smaller openings through which
nerves, arteries and veins pass to
and from the brain. The roof of the
skull is formed from four thin,
curved bones that are firmly fixed
together from the age of about two
years. At the front of the skull are
two orbits, which contain the eyeballs, and a central hole for the airway of the nose. The jawbone
hinges on either side of the skull at
ear level.

The Primates
by the editors of Dorling

Monkeys and apes are the animal kingdom's closest relatives to
humans. And they come in as many
colors, shapes and sizes as people
do.
SKULL OF A CHIM·
PANZEE: The mammalian order
Primates consists of monkeys, apes
and their relatives (including
humans). There are two suborders
of primates: Prosimii, the primitive
primates, which include lemurs,
tarsiers
and
lorises;
and
Anthropoidea, the advanced pnmates, which include monkeys,
apes and humans. The anthropoids
arc divided into New World monkeys. Old World monkeys and
hominids. New World monkeys
typically have widespread no~trils
that open to the side and long tmls,
which arc prehensile (graspmg) in
some species. This group of monkeys lives 10 South Amenca, and
includes marmosets, tamarins and
howler monkeys. Old World mon-
Y~erry
keys typically have close-set nostrils that open forward or downward and nonprchcnsilc tails. This
group of monkeys lives in Africa
and Asia, and includes langurs,
mandrills, macaques and baboons.
Hominids typically have large
brains and no tail. This group
includes the apes-<:himpanzces,

-Birthday suit
When you were born (on your "birthday"), you weren't
wearing any clothes. When someone is said to be wearing
his or her "birthday suit,'' it means that the person is naked.
Anita's baby sister, Maria, took off all her clothes. Then
she ran into their backyard and jumped into the small plastic wading pool.
"Maria," Anita laughed, "you're supposed to wear your
swimsuit in the pool, not your birthday suit!"

"Practice makes perfect." 'To get cold feet.'' "An apple

these expressions before. That's because they are common
sayings and phrases in our country.
Some sayings like "Practice makes perfect," are
proverbs-short, often used expressions that repeat a piece
of wisdom. Here's another proverb: "Two heads are better
than one." Can you think of some proverbs you know?
Other expressions like "to get cold feet," are known as
• "idioms." An idiom is a phrase that has come to have a special meaning that's different from the normal meaning of
the words that make it up. Let's take "getting cold feet" as
an example. If someone says, "Every time I try to jump off
the diving board, I get cold feet," what does he mean? He
doesn't mean that when he steps onto the diving board his
feet start to freeze and he wants his bedroom slippers. He
means that trying to jump off the diving board makes him
feel afraid. "To get cold feet" is an idiom for being a little
• scared of something. "Eleventh hour" and "eat crow" are
idioms, too.

Spons Editor
The 1995-96 high school
basketball season is about a
week and a half old with all
the teams in competition by
now.
Basketball is a fun game
and a fun game to watch. It is
a game of skill. A game
where the object is to throw
the basketball through the
hoop and if a player successfully accomplishes that, they
are rewarded with points.
It is amazing that a player,
boy or girl, can step behind
the three-point circle and sink
a 19' 9" jump shot with
someone in their face and
some do so very consistently.
Their reward? Three
points. My, how thr threepoint shot has changed the
game of basketball.
That same player is fouled
and stands 15 feet away from
the basket at the charity stripe
and pulls the trigger and the
ball misses, consistently.
Must be because it is only
good for one point.
I remember when players
would take a lot of pride in
their free throw shooting ability and work hard at being
good free throw shooters.
Ball games are won at the
free throw line. The big
games usually come down to
who makes the free throws.
Now that is just what they
are- free throws. You
are suppose to make free
throws.
No one is guarding you,
the ref will see to that. You
are there. The crowd has their
eyes on you. You are the
focal point. You toe the line.
Adjust the ball in your hand.
Bounce it once or twice. Pull
The Floyd County Times
the trigger and it squirts off
to the right or left. Or you
have drawn nothing but
iron and it bounds high in
the air. You do know that it
didn't go through the net.
Let me share with you
the trend I see in county
basketball today.
• Free throw shooting in
the grade school ranks, as
well as high school girls. is
horrible. It is pitiful.
Horrendous. Shameful.
Pitiful (I said tnat).
PROBLEM: Players arc
more interested in shooting
the three-pointers. They
spend all their time practicing that shot (which is not
a high percentage shot like
a free throw) and they
don't practice shooting the
charity tosses. It is a matter of
concentration. I have watched
some of them shoot the shot
from the free toss line and
they take forever. Go up, get
set. and let it fly. The more
you think about it the worse it
gets.
• Rebounding. Oh my,
what a disaster for most
teams. Our county high
school girls' teams just can't
rebound against the smaller
clubs (bet you thought I was
going to say larger clubs).
I'm serious. We stand. We
don't know how to jump anymore.
PROBLEM: No one
knows how to block out.
They stand straight and hope
the ball falls in their hand so
the stat person can mark it
down a rebound for Johnny.
Being a good rebounder is
a matter of getting position
on the opponent. Blocking
him or her off the boards.
No love at the charity stripe
Getting off the feet and grabBetsy Layne's Penny Tackett (21) is just one of several Floyd County

ourtside
with Ed
With new
season underway;
something is wrong
In the grade school
ranks it is absolutely a
disgrace the way the kids
are being taught how to
rebound and block out.
When they reach the high
school level, coaches are
having to be teach the
skills all over again and,
maybe, just maybe, players will have accomplished them by the time
they are seniors.
• Individual play. It's
here! This season in high
school. Shame, shame.
To be a winning team
there MUST be a team
effon. Basketball
involves five players on
the floor. They must
become one unit. A player must be willing to give the
ball up when another player
is open.
That hasn't been the case
this year. I dislike saying
that, but it is true. I have
seen games where another
player was open under the
basket and someone pulled
up to shoot a little 4-foot
jumper and missed.
PROBLEM: Somebody
has got to their egos. You do
it. You score. You are the
player of the week. You must
score.
A good team will not be
concerned with who does the
scoring as long as the team
wins.
• Drubbings. I can't understand when a team has built
a 25-point edge, there are
seven minutes to play in a
game, and a coach is still
running his original starting
five. When the clock runs
down to 34 seconds he looks
to the bench and sends in
reinforcements.
Is it any wonder, at the
grade school level , that some
kids are discouraged with ~he
game by the time they get in
the seventh and eighth grades
and have no interest in playing high school basketball.
What better time to give
out playing time than when
you arc in control and the
clock is running down. Let
the little fellas play. So what
if the clock says five minutes
still remain.
• Language. This is a pet
peeve of mine. How some of
these adult coaches can get in
front of these kids (high
school or grade school) and
use some of the language that
we are hearing is beyond me.
But wait a minute. Mom and
dad did you know that your
star player can out cuss the
coach. That's right!
PROBLEM: No one
cares!
Well, these are just some of
the things this year that
shows the game is not just
right. Is there any hope? Only
if a player decides to dedicate
him or herself to the game
and is determined to be the
best they can be on the hardwood. They may never
accomplish that goal, but they
should strive for it.
Being a good basketball
player could someday pay for
an education, but it requires
hard work and it doesn't stan
when you are a junior or
senior, but when you first
take up that basketball in
your early years and say, "I'll
be the best that I can be in
my community, my school,
my family." Like I said, you
may never be, but at least you
are determined to be.
Around the couns, diamond, gridiron, I'm there for
you. Happy baskets!

The holiday season is a wonderful
time for children of all ages. But it's
also a time to be extra careful. There
are trees, lights, candles, decorations
and new toys everywhere. To a child,
these things are exciting and natural
curiosity can lead to burns, choking
and poisoning.
Try these seasonal safety suggestions:
Decorations and Trees
• Anchor your tree firmly so your
child can't pull it over. Trim lower
branches to avoid eye injuries to small
children.
• Place ornaments high enough so
that young children can't reach them.
Broken ornaments can choke or cut
and older painted ornaments and tinsel
both contain lead that can cause poisonmg.
··Avoid using artificial snow sprays
to decorate. They can cause lung irritation and should not be inhaled, particularly by children.
• Dispose of colored wrapping paper
immediately before it finds its way into
little hands and mouths and avoid
burning it in the fireplace-many dyes
release poisonous fumes.
• Holly and mistleto~ are poisonous,
so keep them out of your child's
reach. Poinsettias aren't a serious
threat, but may

Toys and Games
• Always look for the age recommendations on the package when you

toys away from younger ones. If you'd

Citizen, business groups
to study teacher
training with grant
Professional development for teachers,
training teachers already in the classroom in
new ways of teaching and in new knowledge
in their subject area, is the neglected key to
improving schools under the state's education reform program.
Using a $400,000 grant from The Pew
Charitable Trusts, two private groups dedicated to education improvement will identify
what Kentucky teachers need to do to
' improve student learning and how professional development can help teachers make
needed changes in their classroom practices.
The two-year grant was recently awarded
by the Trusts to the Prichard Committee for
Academic Excellence and the Partnership for
Kentucky School Reform.
Carolyn Witt Jones, Partnership director,
said the professional development project
has several goals. One central goal is to identify teaching practices that will help students
reach higher academic standards. Another is
to help teachers and school councils select
" quality professional development that will
help teachers learn those practices and introduce them into the classroom.
"Under education reform, we've asked
teachers to do something monumental, and
that is to change their teaching practice as
they continue to teach," said Jones, adding
that teachers and schools have turned to professional development for help.
Traditional in-service training hasn't been
very useful, said Jones, adding that "something better needs to replace it.''
•
"We have never, before education reform,
emphasized professional development
enough nor provided enough time for teachers to learn," she said.
Education reform reinforces the critical
importance of such training, Jones said.
Since 1990, spending for professional development has increased from $1 to $23 per student. Control over the majority of these
funds has been given to school-based deci-

Sheriff to split offices
to improve security
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
In an effort to reduce the
chances that money could again be
lost, Floyd County Sheriff Paul
Hunt Thompson is restructuring
his office during tax season.
Thompson will be using the
downstairs office for tax collections. The office will collect about
$7 million in property taxes over
• Legal aid for
poor sli~ed in
budget plan
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
I!
Legal aid for the poor could decline if a bill that has been approved by the House-Senate Conference Committee gets approval
by the full house and senate.
U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers
said the committee, which he
chaired, gave final approval to a
bill which provides $278 million
for legal assistance for the poor.
But according to John Rosenberg, director of Appalachian Regional Defense Fund, the new budget translates to a 25-percent cut
for the agency.
"That means we'll feel the cuts,"
he said. "We don't anticipate losing
people, and should be okay through
most of next year, but after that
we'll have to look at it and see
where we stand."
(See Lepl, page two)

about 50 percent of which will
come in during the first month.
All the other activities of the office - including serving 400 papers each month, answering about
300 complaints, overseeing the
Mountain Area Drug Task Force,
running the domestic violence and
DARE programs, doing car inspections and providing court
bailiffs for the justice system will take place in a second-floor
room in the courthouse Thompson
has acquired for security reasons.
"We're splitting the tax division
into a separate room January 1," he
said. "And it's solely for security
reasons."
Thompson was indicted Monday on charges of willful neglect
of duty for allegedly failing to
properly account for tax receipts
since 1990.
More than a year ago, Thompson reported about $25,000 missing from his office. He asked the
attorney general's office and the
state auditor's office to investigate.
While the charge does not carry
a jail term, Thompson could have
to vacate his office if convicted.
Thompson will have to pay the
money back, he said. "I can't make
that up," he said. "I have to pay it
back personally. That means I've
served for a year or more for nothing."

Frazier would have worked

Paul Hughes. chairman of the
management commission, said operating funds should be ·available

Construction of the $6 million
center is being funded by several
grants, loans and local funds. The
local funds are provided through
donations, the sale of adjacent
property and part of the city
restaurant tax revenues. Not all of
the local funds have come in.
Hughes said money will not
be available for operational funds
until the out parcels are sold or
until construction is complete.
"We had two actual offers for
the out parcels, but felt they
weren't high enough," Hughes
said. "It would have been an easy

off, but we felt $300,000 wasn't

Martin will oversee school's
renovation, contract capped
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Floyd County's Board of Education approved a revised building
estimate for the renovation of Prestonsburg High School Tuesday
and ratified a construction management contract for the project.
Construction is expected to
begin next spring on the first phase
of the project, which is estimated at
$5.9 million. The total project cost
is set at $7.6 million.
Interim superintendent Ed Allen
told the board thet the district lacks
approximately $22,000 in bonding
potential to fund the first phase of
the project and recommended that
$35,000 from current building
funds be escrowed to cover the
cost.
Allen explained that $35,000
would be needed to cover the cost
because a continued decline in enrollment would decrease the
amount of future state funding for
school projects.
"I recommend you take the cash
now available and set it aside,"
Allen said.
Board member Eddie Patton
asked Allen if the Prestonsburg
project would eliminate a $500,000
reserve in local bonding potential,
which the board previously authorized.
Allen said that it would be 1999
before the board would have an ad-
equate amount of funding to put
that much money in reserve.
The school system has spent approximately $350,000 on plans for
the Prestonsburg renovation and
those funds 'Cannot be recouped if
the project is scrapped.
With the district's current projection of a $1,075,000 budget
deficit, board members decided to
proceed with the renovation so that
the state School Facilities Construction Commission will reimburse the system for the Prestonsburg project.
Some citizens who are opposed
to the renovation asked to address
the board at Tuesday's meeting.

Some shoppers apparently waiting
until Christmas spirit moves them
by Patti M. Clark
Staff Writer
Christmas may be green this
year, but it may not be as green as
some merchants hoped.
"Friday was good," Mike Hunt,
manager of Wai-Mart. said. "But it
has been slow since."
For that reason, Hunt predicted
that the Christmas selling season
would be light.
"Me personally, it looks like a
light Christmas," Hunt satd. "We'll
know inore after the first (of December)."
Some area merchants have said
the Christmas season in Eastern
Kentucky doesn't really begin until
the weekend after the Thanksgiving
holiday because so many people
travel to Lexington to do early
shopping on the Friday after
Thanksgiving.
For that reason, the Prestonsburg Merchant's Association will
officially kick off the Christmas
season th!s weekend with a parade
beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday.
"The downtown merchants are
looking forward to this Saturday's
official opening," Fred James,
Main Street director, said. "That's
the weekend we've traditionally
looked at for the beginning of the
holiday season."
Hunt said his season, which
started November 24, kicked off
great but slowed rather quickly.
"Friday was fantastic but Saturday and Sunday were slow," he
said. "And it's been slow since."
He thought some of that could
be attributed to the 50-degree temperatures last weekend.
"I think weather is a part of the
cause," Hunt said. "Nobody's in the
Christmas spirit yet."
He did say he is still anticipating
a good Christmas and that the store
is ahead of projections. "We were
packed," he said of the store on Friday.
James said downtown merchants are expecting the coming
weeks to be busy ones.
"These merchants have survived
the years because they have a good
product, excellent and friendly service, and because they put the customers first," he said. "That's their
key to success, they treat each customer. like they are the only customer they have."
He said the downtown merchants have stuck together through
some tough times.
Some haven't made it. Others
have. And new businesses are moving m.
"We are in a changing economy," he said. "And if they can hold
on for a while, things should be
okay again."

taken care of in the downstairs office. "Downstairs will be strictly a
tax office. Period." he said. "It's for
security reasons. Period."
For security reasons also, each
tax worker will be assigned a cash
register and will balance out when
they leave the drawer. Four people
are supposed to be in the office during tax season.
But changing the location where
tax payments will be made and the
accounting methods is not the only
change Thompson said needs to be
made in the sheriffs office.
He said funding for the office,
now based on the collection of
property taxes, needs to be revamped.
In the six years Thompson has
been sheriff, property taxes have
been issued on time only once.
While the blame for the lateness
falls on the state and is attributed to
the five-year reassessment plan.
Thompson's office pays the price
for late collections.
"We prepare our budget and
give it to the fiscal court and they
advance us money to operate until
tax collection starts," Thompson
said. "With the bills being late,
we've had to borrow money to keep
the office operating."
Last winter, Thompson closed
the office and laid off workers. He
answered phones and took complaints himself until he could borrow money locally to pay the state
back. Only when the state had been
paid the money Thompson borrowed on the 1993 tax collections
could ne borrow money for the
1994 tax season.
He's expecting the same thing to
happen this year, except this time
it's during tax collection season.
Btlls for 1994 were mailed March
31 tnstead of in November as
scheduled. The 1995 bills are expected to go out January I, about
two months late. The county is trying to get back on track with the
normal schedule.
"We start each January I with a
1ero bank balance," he satd. 'Til
have to lay people off or personally
obi igate myse If to keep them work-
ing."
Thompson said the sheriffs office already owes about $100,000
to the state, money he says he's personally responsible for, money that
can't be paid until the tax collection
season starts.
The school board also decreased
the amount of commission Thompson gets for collecttng school taxes.
He budgeted four percent and the
board voted to give him only two
percent of the money collected.

four employees for training at the
new jail facility; to reinstate Dora
Rickman and Roy Thornsbury as a
full-time employees; and to terminate the employment of Darrell
Shepherd and Cassandra Conn.
Hale said he had contacted corrections officiais and was told that
it would take 22 employees to staff
the new jail.
Webb said 22 was the minimum
number that would be required.
Webb told the court that he
needed to have his employees
trained before the new jail opens,
L e g a l - - - - - - - - - (Continued from page one)
Rosenberg said the agency
would cut back through attrition.
"We have several positions that
have not and will not be filled because of this," he said. "We hope to
continue to provide the best level
of services possible aod still keep
our doors open."
But he said he would no longer
be able to provide services at the
same level he has in the past.
He explained the budget for the
defense fund would be cut by
about 30 percent, but five percent
of that eliminates national and
state support services that affect all
centers. "That translates to us in
the fields as a 25 percent cut," he
said.
He said he had been told that, if
approved, President Clinton would
veto the bill. "It that happens
there's a chance, a small chance,
that we'd get more," he said. "But
I'm anticipating the decrease because this has been in the works
about three or four months."
But he said the service needs to
be continued. Appalred serves
about 6,000 clients each year from
37 counties and 11 offices. The administrative office is in Prestonsburg.
"You've got to give people in
rural areas access," he said. "It's
hard to have multi-county offices
when you can't get there from
here."
Rogers agrees.
"Many poor people need help
with legal problems. but they cannot afford a lawyer," he said. "One
of my goals is to make sure legal
services are available to our people
who need help. In many cases, the
legal services providers, like Appalachian Research and Defense
Fund, are their only hope."
The conference committee also
approved restrictions written by
Rogers that will prevent federallyfunde'd attorneys from accepting
cases involving political lobbying,
abortion litigation, and illegal
aliens, as well as other controversial issues.
Rosenberg said the program
isn't in as bad a shape as it would
have been if it hadn't been for filing fees added to circuit and district court cases. Ten dollars from
each circuit case and five dollars
from each district case goes to the
fund.
"That has made up some of the

Board chairman Ray Brackett
informed the group that there
would be no public comment on
the issue.
The board approved the revised
building estimate by a vote of 3-1
with Patton voting against it.
Board member Ray Wilcox said he
wanted to explain his vote.
An audience member snapped
at Wilcox that he didn't have to explain his vote and Wilcox declined
to comment further.
Board member Brent Clark was
absent from Tuesday's meeting.
Also, the board approved a contract with Martin Engineering for
construction n1ar.~gement on the
Prestonsburg project.
Board attorney Phil Damron explained that contract was capped at
$295,000.
In other business, board members discussed the district's 199596 working budget.
Interim superintendent Allen
told the board that the district's
budget committee had reviewed
the budget and made no recommendations for changes.
"Other than personnel, it's pretty thin," Allen said. "I recommend
adoption."
The board voted to approve the
budget.

Medical miracles
start with research
every day," Whicker said. "Other
people want to know why you can't
adjust theirs. I run the city as fair as
I can. I will help any way I can, but
I'm looking for consistency since I
work with the public every day."
Several suggestions on paying
the bill in installments and possibly
amending the ordinance were
made, but no action was taken.
In other business:
• council, in lieu of a Christmas bonus, adjusted the annual
cost of living for full-time employees to $150 and for part-time employees to $75. The adjustment is a
one-time deal, for the month of December only, Whicker said.
• council discussed amending
an ordinance to include a police
chief for the police department. In
the past, the city had only one officer, but when the number of officers increased, the mayor oversaw
the department. Wbrker said Martin has needed a police chi .... ~ for
some time.
• Volunteer Fire Department
chief William Petry asked the city
to reimburse a volunteer firefighter
who had gone to school to be
trained as an EMT. Council agreed
to reimburse the costs after receiving receipts.
Whicker and all council members except Earriat Hayes were
present.
which is now expected to be in January. Problems with the installation
of a security system are delaying
the completion of the new facility,
Webb said. Webb said training for
jail employees is set for next week.
Magistrate Gerald DeRossett
asked the jailer how long it would
take to train employees to operate
the new facility.
"I don't know," Webb said. "I
can't put a person in there that
could push one button and let I 00
prisoners out of jail."
Owens asked Webb why
Thornsbury had been laid off in the
first place.
After a brief dtscussion, the
court determined that the circumstances surrounding Thornsbury's
employment should be discussed in
a closed session at another time.
Hammond told the court that decisions related to personnel at the
jail were solely the jailer's and that
the court only decided whether or
not to provide the funding for those
pOSitiOnS.
"If you run out of money, the
court may not give you any more,"
Hammond told Webb. "They can
only veto or refuse to enroll an employee on the county payroll."
The court voted 4-1 in favor of
Webb's request, with Owens voting
against it.
In other business:
• The court set the salaries for
Hale and newly-elected District
Three Magistrate Elmer Ray Johnson . Hale's salary was set at just
over $45,000 per year and Johnson's was $31,828.68.
• The court appointed Doug
Hyden II to replace Ned Pillersdorf
on the North Floyd Fire Protection
Distnct Board.
• The court approved several
emergency transfers and a budget
amendment.
• Magistrate Johnson asked that
the court's agenda be published in
the newspaper prior to the meeting
date. The court took no action on
that request.
• Citizens from the Conley Fork
of Spurlock expressed their dismay
at not being able to address the
court. Wednesday's meeting was a
spectal meettng and the court could
not discuss issues not the agenda.
Hale told the group that he would
talk to them after Wednesday's
meeting.
The next regular meeting of the
court is set for December 15 at 10
a.m. in the circuit courtroom at the
courthouse.
"That puts me in a hard spot," he
said. "I borrowed money against
that base."
Because of problems that resulted from the five-year reassessment
of property across the state,
Thompson and other sheriffs have
asked for legislation that changes
the way the sheriffs office is funded.
"We want to see standardized
funding," Thompson said. "We
want a guaranteed rate for collecting taxes. We are at the mercy of
the school board, fiscal court and
the state for our funding."
The funding system for the sheriffs office was set up about 100
years ago, Thompson explained.
"It's time for a change. It's outdated."
He suggested that counties that
don't reach a certain collection rate
could be penalized. Floyd County
has routinely collected about 90 to
92 percent of property taxes in the
past. The rate jumped to 94 percent
in 1994.
"It's a Catch 22 situation,"
Thompson said. "For instance, the
school system is cutting our commission to two percent, but because
we don't have the money to do effective collections, the amount of
money that comes in wiii be lower
than if they'd given us more and we
had coiiected more. It costs them
money to underfund this department."
Thompson said another option
is to take tax coiiections away from
the sheriffs office. "The fiscal
court could have an office and the
sheriff would be just the enforcement officer in the county," he said.
In some metropolitan areas,
such as Lexington and Louisville,
it's just the opposite. The sheriffs
office mainly does tax collection ·
while the police departments handle Jaw enforcement duties.
"But that can't happen in the
rural areas," Thompson said. "The
majority of people feel that it (law
enforcement) is the job for the
sheriff. We have to maintain that
identity."
Personally, Thompson said he
would like to see a system where
the sheriff receives funding based
on the property tax base in the
county as well as the population
and terrain. "We can have a faster
response time if the land is flat," he
said. "It takes longer to cover thJ
distance if you have rough terrain.
costing us more to serve those
areas."
He also suggested that there be
one fuii-time deputy for every
5,000 people. Thompson has eight
full -time deputies. The population
of Floyd County was set at 44,399
by the Kentucky State Data Center,
leaving Thompson about one
deputy short of his ideal.
But without better, more consistent funding, programs administered by Thompson - tax collections included - could come to a
screeching halt. "They are programs that are dear to my heart,"
Thompson said. "But if we don't
have money to operate them, we
don't have money to operate them."
Thompson said many sheriffs
offices pay off one debt and take on
another just to get things done. "We
pay them off then borrow again,"
he said. "It's crazy."

"The city ordinance says the
city is not liable for the (administrative costs), but if you so choose,
you can help fund them," he added.
A city ordinance states the city
shall not be liable for the payment
of salaries for the commission out
of the city's genetal fund .
"I talked with Carl Faust, who
prepared the ordinance, and his
opm10n is the city can legally loan
the money," city attorney Paul
Bvrchett said. "His suggestion was
to do it by resolution that the city
would advance funds to the center
and the center would repay the
money when revenue was available."
The ordinance was established
so the management commission
could not obligate city funds and
the commission members were not
city employees; however, the city
can obligate their own funds,
Burchett added.
''The commission has obligations other than salaries, but we
don't have the funds," council
member Estill Carter said. "I think
today, we realize the city owns a $7
million complex and it behooves us
to pay more than the executive director salary."
When asked how much it
would take to operate the center, including an executive director's
salary, Hughes said about $6,000 a
month.
"It is hard to throw out a dollar
amount for each month when operating costs may be different each
month," Hughes said. "We won't
need as much for December, but
may need more when a full-time director is hired."
Council member Dick Clark
suggested loaning the commission
the lump sum of $36,000 so the
commission could spend as they
need from month to month.
The motion passed unanimously.
Other business for the special
meeting mcluded the first reading
of the amended liquor ordinance.
Council members Monday
evening did not approve the second
reading of an amended liquor ordinance. which would benefit Center
Stage by defining what a bona fide
restaurant means.
The original ordinance, approved in 1988, was amended to
read that any establishment which
serves food for consumption on the
premises continuously during its
hours of operations and has a minimum seating capacity of 350 persons at tables may serve liquor by
the drmk.
The change read at Wednesday's meeting states any establishment which derives 25 percent or
more of its gross revenues from the
sale of food for consumption on the
premises and has a minimum seating capacity of 350 persons at tables may serve liquor by the drink.
There was no discussion on the
first reading dunng the meeting,
but after the meeting was adjourned
Carter said he was concerned the
ordinance dad not account for minors.
Caner said Kentucky Admimstrauve Regulations (KAR) require
35 percent of food sales for an establishment wath a liquor license to
(Continued from page one)
permit minors on the premises.
"Our original ordinance had 50
percent for a liquor license, which
was 15 percent higher than the law,
but now we have changed it to 25
percent, which is I 0 percent lower
than the law, and we have opened
the door to underage drinking,"
Carter said.
"Since this is not said during
the meetmg there is no need for a
response. I just wanted you to think
about it," he added.
The ordinance will have a second reading at the next city council
meeting on December 18.

SPECIAL GRAND
JURY REPORT
The special grand jury was
impaneled on the 31st day of May,

before it, secret.
The special grand jury has
attempted to discharge its duties in
a thorough manner. The matters
which the special grand jury was
charged to investigate have been
examined in as much detail as possible, with the sole purpose of seeking to determine whether there
exists factual and probative evidence sufficient to constitute probable cause to believe that any persons have committed felony criminal offenses at any time, or misdemeanor criminal offenses within the
past year. with respect to any of the
matters under investigation.
Concerning the 911 project and
the solid waste program, the special
grand jury does not find any evidence sufficient to warrant the
issuance of any criminal indictments.

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
Politics of fear
by Scott Perry
There is nothing new to the use
of fear as a potent political
weapon. except maybe the frequency of it.
Local politicians learned long
ago that they could sway voters to
their camps with subtle or not-sosubtle hints that their family
members might lose their jobs or
their taxes might be raised if the
other side won.
State and national politicians
wasted little time following suit,
using the politics of fear to misinform, misguide and frighten the
britches off most of the electorate.
Take the Medicare Scare, for
example.
Politicians have used the GOPled effort to control our federal
budget, particularly the Medicare
program. to rally a fearful segment of voters to their side.
They've told elderly people
that GOP reforms amount to "savage cuts" in that program and
older people are sure to suffer if
they go through.
The truth. though, is that the
reforms don't represent "cuts" at
all, but limits on how fast new
spending can grow.
Those who are using the program to instill fear in our elderly
population know that, but they
obviously prefer scare tactics to
the truth.
They're making political hay
by sowing seeds of terror
It's a shameful tactic, but they
show no shame.
No one political party has the
exclusive right to the use of distortion and di'sinformation in election campaigns and that's what
makes the issue so disquieting.
And the media, which is supposed to disseminate fact from
fiction, all too often align themselves with one side or the other
and too infrequently with the
truth.
Franklin Roosevelt once noted,
during a time of great uncertainty,

Twenty Years Ago (November 26, 1975)
Four lanes, not three, have been recommended for
Just in case you are a taxpaying
citizen and were not aware, the
Floyd County Board of Education
in a special meeting Tuesday night
voted 3 to I to approve the contract
for the renovation of Prestonsburg
High School. The press was notified of thts meeting at 4 p.m.
Monday, 26 hours before the meeting was to take place-obviously
not enough time for the public to be
infonned.
The Floyd County Board of
Education has made some notable
errors m the past, but this board is
making the "Granddaddy of them
All!" They are willing to ignore
their own policy concerning the disruption of the educational process
to demand a renovation at
Prestonsburg High School when the
result will be a facility that won't
even begin to meet our PRESENT
needs. This is not long range planning; this is just one way to help
alleviate the current deficit (which
by the way is supposed to be illegal). But this is Floyd County-the
land where you can do whatever
you want and the state will come in
and make 1t worse.
Over I, I 00 signatures were
given to this board in opposition to
the proposed renovation. The board
voted to cancel the project and send
it back to the Long Range Planning
Committee. Where is the LPC in all
of this? We thought they were supposed to approve this too. Now at
the time we discover a $1 million
deficit, the renovation is back on
the table again.
Mr. Ed Allen, interim superintendent, explained to the faculty
there was no justification for a larger facJ!ity due to projected enrollment. Then, please explain to the
people how South Floyd got a facility to house 800 students with an
enrollment of approximately 462?
The architect showed nine new
classrooms. Five or six are to· be
science labs, one art Jab, and two
are home economics labs. This may
free up about three classrooms;
however, once the old classrooms
are brought up to code for size, it is
just possible we will have fewer
classrooms than we do now. The old
study halls and other rooms on the
first floor were divided years ago to
make
additional
classrooms
because of the shortage that existed
at that time.
Docs the proposed renovation
get us out of the flood plain? No,
because it doesn't completely wrap
the old building. And what about
the parking space deleted by the
renovation? The river bank that
stays flooded most of the time is
certainly an ingenious solution.
The Division of Facilities
Management originally approved
the renovation on the condition that
the entire building be wrapped.
Those conditions obviously meant
nothing.
Oh yes, we need to mention the
vision that went into the addition to
the front of the building because it
goes nght to the edge of US 23 so
traffic mishaps won't be a threat
and noise will be kept to a minimum. Then we can have a situation
just like Harold Elementary.
Where did the board suddenly
find $2 million for their latest proposal of a $5 million renovation
when there was only $3 million last
spring? And will we be furnishing
and equipping the current classrooms that are to be renovated? NO,
only the new additions will be furnished.
WAKE UP PEOPLE! This is a
mistake no one but the students,
faculty, and staff of Prestonsburg
High School will have to live with.
God, help us survive the renovation
process and then give us the
strength to educate our children in a
less-than-adequate facility while
competing with children in
state-of-the-art facilities. And all of
this for what? To help recover perhaps $350,000 of a debt someone
else has incurred!
Ask the faculty. They've seen
Phase I with no promise of anything
else, and they know we have gone
from a new school to an $11. 5 million renovation and now to this.
And what happens when the
Martin/Maytown project goes over
budget? It is our understanding that
it already has. If it is over budget,
will there still be $5 million? We
doubt it!
Ask the faculty about the "incon- •
venience" we've already been told
we will have to deal with once the
hammering and banging starts. Will
PHS get a break on testing expectations? We don't think so. Mr. Allen
said he couldn't help with that
either. Oops! We forgot to consider
the accountability for declining
enrollment when parents opt not to
subject their child to this "renofiasco."
Yes, other places have had successful renovations. But they didn't
have to deal with an unpredictable
calendar due to snow schedule
adjustments and they had acres of
land for future expansion. This is
the most appalling, illogical, and
insulting idea any board has ever
tried to pull on the people, particularly those who pay a major portion
of the tax base in a school system.
Yes, it's time to wake up, speak
up, and demand equality for the
children of Prestonsburg. Nobody
should subject their children to a 22
month renovation (that's just for
Phase I) when the result will be a
school that will not meet the needs
of your children at the current time.
We were told that we would have to
live w1th this for the next 40 or 50
years.
Don't you think your children
deserve more than this? We will be
the only location in Floyd County
with a renovated facility.
There is a meeting of the State
Board of Education next Tuesday in
Lexington at the Fayette County
Board of Education. Petitions will
be circulated again at various locations throughout Prestonsburg.
Listen to your radio station for more
infonnation. PLEASE SIGN ONE
OF THESE TO SHOW YOUR
OPPOSITION! Our board of education w1ll be addressing the State
Board next Tuesday regarding the
deficit reduction plan. This may be
our last chance. Please act immediately!
Signed by Sharon Sammons
and 22 others
(Due to the noon deadline, only
23 individuals had time to read and
sign this letter.)

Against Magoffin County:
New season begins for Prestonsburg tonight
•
____
..._
• by Ed Taylor
___. Sports Editor
Wheeler big
roundball fan
One thing about my job that I
enjoy very, very much is the
many people I get to talk with
while traveling around the region
and state of Kentucky. People are
very knowledgeable of sports in
• Floyd County, the 15th Region
and the state.
I run into folks at restaurants,
grocery stores and even at Wa1lyWorld (Wal-Mart). They stop me
and strike up a conversation, like,
"what do you think about" this or
that? We'll talk basketball, baseball, football, etc.
We'll discuss coaching situations and the Kentucky Wildcats
(no matter what the season).
Should Curry be retained as head
football coach at Kentucky? That
• is one that really has been discussed lately. Yes, I think C.M.
Newton showed a lot of class in
bringing back Curry for next season. When you finish 1-10 one
year and go 4-7 1he next, that is
improvement and that is what
Newton wanted to see.
Well, one good friend of mine
who I enjoy conversing with is
Nolan Wheeler. Most sports fans
in the county might not know
who Nolan is, but let me tell you
he keeps up with it all - local,
~ regional and state - and can
strike up a conversation like
you've never had.
I ran into Nolan at the Johnson
Central girls' panorama two
weeks ago. He was a target of
mine to talk with since the basketball season was just around the
corner.
Nolan doesn't care anything
about football, but does keep up
with it to a degree.
As I sat down to talk with
Nolan I discovered he had last
- year's Big Sandy News basketball composite with last year's
rosters listed with him. He was
ready for a full day of basketball.
Wheeler liked the Paintsville
Tigers as the region's number one
team and named Belfry his second-place team, but stopped short
of going any farther.
I asked him about the
Lawrence County basketball program (that is where he hails from)
and he confessed he is more
knowledgeable of other schools
than Lawrence County.
li
Here is a breakdown of the
conversation with him.
"I was surprised that the
(Heather) Collins girl came to
Paintsville from Prestonsburg,"
he said. "Prestonsburg is suppose
to be a strong team this year and I
thought she would stay there."
Wheeler said the Sheldon
Clark Lady Cardinals are going to
be very young this season. "She
(Robin Harmon) will probably
start three sophomore's and a
couple of freshmen. They're very
young."
The loss of Pam Pinson,
Claudette Gillispie and Kelly
II Blackburn will hurt the Pike
Central Lady Hawks, according
to Wheeler. "They have a young
player in Amanda Collins who
will help some, but they are going
to miss the big three."
Johnson Central Lady Eagles:
"Robin Music, she's a good player. They lost a lot from last year,
bur they seem to have a lot of
height. They also have some new
players that I am not familiar
with." That will last about a
week.
Prestonsburg Lady Blackcats:
"They have that little blond-headed girl (April Newsome) who can
~ really shoot the basketball."
Wheeler likes the make up of
this year's Prestonsburg Blackcat
team and the coaching ability of
Jackie Pack. "He's a fiery coach.
You know when he was at
Wheelwright, if they hadn't had
to play three games in three
nights (Class A regional), they
would have won the All-A that
year. The (John) Ortega kid
should be a good one for
(See A Look at Sports, page 8A)
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It will be a new season, a new
coach and a new philosophy when
the Prestonsburg Blackcats travel to
Magoffin County tonight to face
last year's regional runners up to tip
off the season for both teams.
Coach Danny Adams' Hornets
played Paintsville close in last
year's regional championship game
before falling, but this year the
Hornets are considered one of the
region's best.
They will be facing a team many
consider another of the premier
teams in the region in Prestonsburg.
First-year coach Jackie Pack makes
his return to the basketball wars in
1995-96 after a brief three-year
absence and his Cats are geared for
a tough schedule to begin the season.
Magoffin County will return big
men Jason Wages and Greg Smith.
But Coach Pack isn't that concerned over who comes back as he
is about how his team may perform.
"I don't know many of the players, but at this time of year in
December, I don't really worry too
much about another team's personnel. I worry about what we're doing
and getting the things down that we
do the best. The first live or six
games we want to just execute and
play hard and play well and get
ready for the second part of the season.
"Even though we scout, we get
ready and we have a game plan
against other teams, we're mainly
concerned about what we're
doing," he said. "We saw Magoffin
County in a panorama and they play
hard," he said. "Thf!Y will press.
They're a real scrappy team."
That means they are a typical
Danny Adams team. The Hornets
are always coming at you and are a
very physical team and Magoffin
County is no easy place to play.
"They shoot the ball decent,"
Pack said. "Playing over there we
know we are going to have a battle.
They are a real aggressive ballclub
and they will come after you.
"We're going have to be able to
handle their pressure. We're going
to have to keep our composure.
Stick with our game plan," he said.
Coach Pack said if his team stays
focused and follows the game plan
good things could result from it.
"I think if we do that, we can win
the ballgame," he said. "It's going
to be a tough one."
Coach Pack said he believes his
team needs to show more than they
displayed at Sheldon Clark (panorama) last Saturday night.
"We played over there and we
didn't really play well," he said.
"We didn't execute well. I thought
we played hard, but we just didn't
do a lot of things we wanted to do
offensively."
The Prestonsburg coach said his
team has returned to the hardwood
and needs to make some adjustments.
''Our defense was average. So,

Short-handed Allen Central
to host Paintsville tonight
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
When you read that the Paintsville
Tigers and Allen Central Rebels were
scheduled to meet on the hardwood as
they both open their 1995-96 basketball season, you could feel the electricity in the air in anticipation of a
great basketball game.
You knew that both teams were
going to play hard and go after each
other for the full 32 minutes.
Someone would win because they
took better care of the ball or had the
last shot of the game.
Well the two teams square off
tonight at the J.E. Campbell Arena on
the campus of Allen Central High
School and the game certainly lacks
the luster of the past two seasons.
Coach Johnny Martin's ranks have
been severely depleted and when you
talk about inexperienced players,
Martin has them. To add to the shortness of his bench, Martin must hope
that some sick players will be able to
go tonight against the preseason
regional favorite, Paintsville.
The Tigers are the 15th Region
defending champions and seem to
always have trouble with the Rebels.
Last year Allen Central upended the
Tigers on their home floor to start the
season. The game had the atmosphere of a regional championship
game.
Tonight's game may not fill the air
with that kind of excitement, but you
can bet the two teams will go after
each other, short-handed or not.
"Paintsville is the same old team,"
Coach Martin said. "There is no
change."
By that he means they are a tough
foe and a team to be reckoned with.
The glory days are gone for Allen
Central who still has memories of a
state tournament berth in '93. Last
year, the Rebels were expected to
repeat as regional champions only to
be dethroned by Paintsville. But now
the Tigers are coming to town to face
a very, very questionable Allen
Central team.
''We have no depth at all," the
Allen Central coach said. "We are
going to be very, very young on the
bench and be dependent on freshmen.
We probably will start three seniors,
but they do not have any playing
time."
Returning with great expectations
is junior Thomas Jenkins who averaged 17 points per game last season
and pulled in an average of II
rebounds. But can Jenkins carry the
load?
Jason Baker, a junior, was penciled in to be the middle player for
Allen Central after coming on strong
at tournament time. But Baker is definitely out for tonight's game with a
case of mono.
"We will eventually get Jason
back, but we don't know when,"
Martin said. "Sometimes these things
can run six weeks."
Jenkins, along with newcomer
Corey Patton, has been out of practice
with a virus, but both will start tonight
for Coach Martin.
''We had them back in practice
Wednesday night for the first time this
week. I don't know how much they
will be able get done, but we have to
go with what we've got."
In a rarity, Jenkins will be playing
the point guard position for Allen
Central. Todd Howard, a sophomore,
will be at the two guard, but he brings
very little experience to tonight's
(See Paintsville, page 8A)
Coach Bill Newsome, who was
most of the show on the sidelines,
and his Betsy Layne Lady Cats got
a much needed assist from the
Paintsville Lady Tigers' bench
Tuesday night en route to a 55-50
win over Coach Dwight Burchett's
team in the first round of the Lady
Panthers Invitational Tournament. It
was the first game of the year for
both teams.
Jessica Johnson buried two
three-point baskets and led all scorers with 24 points to lead the Lady
Cats to their first win of the season.
Penny Tackett added 14 and Ashley
Tackett tossed in nine points.
The real hero in this one was
Rachael Thompson who was the
defensive player of the game.
Thompson pulled down
12
rebounds, but more importantly had
seven blocked shots. Her seventh
blocked shot was the turning point
and brought the assist from the
Paintsville bench.
Betsy Layne moved out to a 5147 lead after scoring four unanswered points to take a 49-47 lead
with 55 seconds left to play.
Amanda Pinson went to the free
throw line for two shots at the 44second mark, but missed both
attempts. Paintsville came down
with the rebound and Thompson
blocked a shot underneath sending
the basketball to the left side of the
floor. Penny Tackett chased down
the loose ball in the corner and was
fouled by Heather Collins.
The whistle brought the protest
from the Paintsville bench and a
technical was called. A second technical ensued after the bench refused
to be silent.
Crystal Gearheart had just connected on two free throws that gave
Betsy Layne the two point, 49-47,
lead before the technicals. Penny
Tackett hit the two personal foul
free throws and Johnson converted
three of the four technical foul shot
attempts for a 54-47 Betsy Layne
lead. With ten seconds showing,
Johnson was fouled and hit one of
two shots for a 55-47 lead. Cassie
Cooper buried a three at the horn
for the final 55-50 count.
"Rachael has been playing well
in practice," Johnson said of her
teammate. "Coach Newsome has
worked with her in keeping her
head up and blocking shots. I'm
proud of her, she did real good."
The Lady Cats found themselves
on the short side of a 34-27 lead
after three quarters and in trouble.
But the pressure defense of Betsy
Layne took Paintsville out of sync
and the Lady Cats roared back to
take a 36-34 lead after scoring nine
unanswered points to start the final
stanza.
Betsy Layne led by four, 42-38,
but Paintsville went on a 6-0 run,
including a three-point basket by
Cooper, that gave the Lady Tigers a
44-42 lead with 3:02 left.
Karen Hall buried a trey for
Paintsville and broke a 44-44 tic as
the Lady Tigers led 47-44. It was
then that Betsy Layne toek the lead
for good with a 10-0 run over the
final two minutes.
It was a passive Betsy Layne
team that showed up in the first halF
as they were lazy with their passing.
Paintsville exploited the laziness
and rolled out to a 22-17 halftime
lead. There appeared to be a lot of
standing on the part of Betsy Layne
in trying to run their offense.
The Lady Tigers connected on
five of six free throws In the final
1: 14 of the second quarter to take a
five-point advantage to the locker
room.
But Betsy Layne came out in the
third period after hearing a good
halftime lecture.
"He told us at halftime that every
time we've played Paintsville we
had to come from behind," Johnson
said. "He told us to go out and play
hard and we could win this one."
But he has other words of wis-
dom for Johnson.
"Oh yeah, he got on me about
my fancy passes. He doesn't want
me to do them. In the second half I
used my head and stopped it."
"This is what we really needed to
get the season off to a good start,"
Thompson said. "We were a little
bit tired, but we kept going."
Penny Tackett was in some pain

Rose's Raiders open at
home against Jenkins
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Coach Jim Rose and the South
Aoyd Raiders will welcome the
Jenkins Cavaliers to Raider Arena
tonight in the opening g~e of the
1995-96 high school basketball season.
South Floyd will return a veteran basketball team that finished 617 last season. But this team will be
a year wiser knowing this could be
their season in the 58th District.
It will be a senior-dominated
starting five for the Raiders, with
the exception of Jason Shannon,
who is only a junior. Michael
"Bear" Stephens will run the team
at point guard and be the team's
designated outside shooter. T.T.
Pack will roam around the basket
where he is hard to contain. Pack is
a work horse on the boards.
Terrance Mullins will be at a power
forward slot with Shannon playing
the middle for the Raiders. Nick
Little will play at the two guard.
Jenkins may be in a rebuilding
season as the Cavaliers are expected to be a young ballclub, according to Coach Rose.
"I don't know a lot about them,"
he said. "They played Knox Central
in a panorama game and got beat
bad. I'm just guessing, but I believe
they are going to be down this season. They'll be a young ballclub."
Rose said the flu bug has hit his
ranks and he doesn't really know how
it will affect his bench strength.
"Chris (Moore), who will be the
first guard off the bench, has the flu
right now," the South Aoyd coach
said. "I don't know how much, if
any, he will be able to go tonight.
We've got so many sick. Nick
(Compton) has a pulled groin muscle. We'll have to wait and see."
If the Raiders are healthy, senior
Aaron Hall will see a lot of playing
time for South Aoyd. Hall is a strong
inside player and makes things happen when he enters the game.
Another player who will be quick
to come off the Raider bench will be
sophomore
Justin
Holbrook.
Holbrook gives the Raiders some versatility, playing at different positions.
Compton, if healthy, will see some
playing time as will Timmy Butcher.
"I hope how soon all this virus
stuff gets gone," Coach Rose said.
"We're going to be thin off the
bench if some are not able to play."
Game time is 7:30 with the junior
varsity game starting at 6 p.m.

in the second half and had to come
out.
"I was just having trouble with
my ankle," she said. "I wasn't that
tired, just hurting."
The Lady Cat point guard said
she liked the way the middle was
played
by
Gearheart
and
Thompson.
"Crystal was awesome tonight,"
she said. "Rachael really played a
strong game and that last blocked
shot was a big one for us."
Tackett said the Lady Cats were
a better team than what fans saw
Tuesday night.
Amanda Pinson led Paintsville
with her II points. Former
Prestonsburg standout Heather
Collins added ten with some good
moves inside and with her outside
shooting. Cooper finished with nine
points and Karen Hall six. Cooper·
buried three treys with Hall and
Pinson burying two.
Gearheart finished with four
points to go with her 12 boards.
Thompson had two points but nine
rebounds and seven blocked shots.
Heather Kidd scored two.
Betsy Layne ( 1-0) played
Thursday night in the semifinals.

The Adams Middle School will
host its second annual grade school
invitational basketball tournament
beginning next Wednesday as eight
teams, four boys and four girls, gather for the annual event.
Adams Coach Neil Turner
announced that some changes were
necessary in the tournament's dates
and times. The bracket pairings will
remain the same, only the days will
be affected.
The Adams/Betsy Layne girls'
game, scheduled for Wednesday
night has been changed to be played
Thursday night at 6 p.m. The Stumbo
Lady Mustangs will face Martin on
Wednesday night.
In the boys' bracket, the Betsy
Layne/Pikeville game has been
moved from Wednesday night to
Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. placing
the Adams/Martin game at 7:30p.m.
on Wednesday night.
The Betsy Layne boys and
Pikeville game will be a classic as
two of the better regional grade
school teams square off. Betsy Layne
is undefeated for the year with an 8-0
record. Coach Dwight Newsome's
ballclub puts a lot of points on the
scoreboard with its pressure defense.
PikeVIlle is a high-scoring teamf
and it will be interesting to sec just
how many points will accumulate
when the two teams meet.
Another top match up will take
place if Adams were to get past
Martin. The Blackcats, defending
county champions, could meet the
winner of the Pikeville/Betsy Layne
game for another classic showdown.
Betsy Layne does not appear on
Adams regular season schedule.
In the girls' bracket, Adams and
Betsy Layne will pit two teams that
have struggled this season. Adams
played a preseason schedule in the
girls' Middle School Conference.
Betsy Layne is young.
The Martin and Stumbo game will
be a revenge matchup after Martin
defeated the Lady Mustangs in the
Right Beaver Classic three weeks
ago. Stumbo is coming off winning
the South Aoyd Prep Classic while
Martin will be in its third tournament.
They were runners-up the last two.

Belfry Pirates: "They have a good team coming back. That one guard
that shot the three-pointers returns for them. They w1ll be a strong
regional team ."
Elkhorn C1ty: ..The Sykes kid who transferred to Elkhorn Clly went
back to Millard. Randy (McCoy) should have a good team ."
Wheeler has two teams he said he would enjoy seemg play in the
regional finals and not because they are his teams to support.
"I wish it would be Millard and Johnson Central in the finals. Leon
(Stewart) and Coach (Johnny Ray) Turner deserve to be there."
Wheeler said he believes Pike Central will be down some this year
after being hit hard by grad4ation. "The Hamilton kid returns and he can
shoot the threes. But it hurt when they lost Lance Bowman and the ~
Charles kid."
"Shelby Valley is going to be down some this year even though
Johnny Alvin returns."
Wheeler's dark horse in the 15th Region is th~· Sheldon Clark
Cardinals. "They will be better than most people think. The Marcum
boys are back. They're blessed with talent. Scott Davis returns. They
have a big boy coming back who is going to be a good player. A new
coach, a new philosophy."

well informed when you do.
ADAMS MIDDLE SCHOOL TOURNAMENT...
Don't forget you can take in some good grade school basketball at the
Adams Middle School when the second annual grade school mvitational begins next Wednesday night. Top first-round matchup will pit Betsy
Layne against Pikeville in the second game Wednesday night. Possible
top matchup: Adams (if they get past Martin) and the Betsy
Layne/Pikeville winner.
PIT FINALS....
The finals of the Pikeville Lady Panther Invitational will be held
tonight at 7:30p.m. At press time, two Floyd County teams remained in
the semifinals and could very well meet in the finals. Betsy Layne faced
Pike Central last evening and Prestonsburg squared off against Pikeville.
Until Wednesday, good sports everyone and be good sports. Take the
kids to Sunday School and church this Sunday.
Prestonsburg-we've come back in the gym this
week and really worked on execution, kids getting in the right places
in the offense and making the right
passes. If we do that against
Magoffin County and play as well
as we played a week before against
Perry Central then we feel like we
can go over and win the basketball
game. But if we go over there,
don't play well and play like we did
Saturday night against Lawrence
County, Magoffin County will beat
us."
KEYS TO A VICTORY...
"We've got to rebound," he said.
"We have to rebound and take care
of the basketball. We didn't do that
against Lawrence County. We
threw it away a lot."
Coach Pack said his team must
improve from the charity stripe as
well.
"Against Lawrence County we
shot 21 for 37 and that is not going
to work," he said. "We've got to be
(Contiuned from A 7)
a good rebounding team. We can
be. We just haven't been. We have "'
a couple of good rebounders but we
haven't been a good rebounding
team.
''We have to control the boards
in order to win against Magoffin
County. Our defense is okay. We' re
playing good defense. We're
aggress1ve on defense and I'm not
concerned about it nght now."
Coach Pack pronounced his
team physically fit and ready to go.
"We're ready to play," he said.
"We can go nine or ten deep. We're
proud of that. We can play several ~
kids."
·
Prestonsburg will have the big
men in the middle led by senior
Jason Bevins and Andy Jarvis as
well as Gavin Hale. Wesley
Samons will run at the point guard
slot with Bret James at the two
guard. J.P. Skeans and Jamo Jarrell

The Appalachian News-Express
The first reading of an ordinance
to change the zoning of a Pikeville
residence sparked a flurry of conversation during Monday's meeting
of the Pikeville City Commission.
The discussion of the Randy
Roberts property at 500 Third Stre.et
took up a large percentage of the
100-minute meeting at city hall.
The property has been the subject of the last two scheduled meetings of the Joint Planning
Commission.
The Joint Planning Commission
consists of nine members. Three are
appointed by the city, three by the
county and three by Elkhorn City. It
holds open meetings for discussion
of proposed zoning changes and
then meets to vote to either recommend the appropriate governmental
agency adopt the change or not.
The Joint Planning Commission
voted 6-2 in favor of the change at
its last meeting on November I 6.
Monday night, the city commission heard the first reading of the
ordinance.
The controversy stems from the
desire of Sabrina Weddington to
purchase the property, which is in a
historic area. She wants to move her
intenor design company, East
Towne Designs, into the residence.
However, the house is in a residential district, and must be
changed to a commercial zone in
order for the business to be there.
The planning commission felt it
would be appropriate to change the
zone for the single residence
because it is the first house on that
side of the street which is residential. Up to there, the rest of the
block is commercial.
Discussion spurred from the fact
that the Joint Planning CommissiOn
held its vote about a month after the
open meeting. Normally, the vote
would take place immediately following the discussion session, but
because only two members of the
commission were present, it had to
be postponed.
Members were given a summary
of the previous meeting before voting November I 6, and they voted to
approve it. However, the tapes of
the public hearing had not been
transcribed, and therefore members
didn't hear the entire argument
before voting.
Another source of the discussion
was the fact that the November 16
meeting was not announced in the
News-Express, and some concerned
citizens said they were not aware of
the meeting date.
The News-Express was given
the proper 24-hour notice before the
meeting as is required by state law,
but is not required to announce the
date before a meeting is held.
Mayor Steven D. Combs said he
was leery of the meeting, as he
understood the concerns of those
opposed to the change. Combs said
he once represented a party in a
zontng case with similar circumstances, and once the planning commission got a transcript of the hearing, it ruled in favor of his client.

delayed action on it. Under
Burton's proposal, residents who
arc not participating m garbage service would be notified and g1ven 15
days to sign up. Legal action would
be taken against residents who had
not signed up after the deadline.
The solid waste commission
approved a similar plan by its chatrman. Paintsville Mayor Robin
Cooper. Under Cooper's threepomt plan. the commission would
implement an education and advertising campaign encouraging residents to sign up. After the campaign, residents who arc not participating would be sent letters and
given 30 days to subscribe to
garbage service.
If those residents had not stgned
up after the 30-day penod, the
county would take them to court.
When you visit Robert Haney,
you'd better be prepared to leave in
a hurry.
Haney lives up Johnson Branch,
just off Route 825 at Collista. To
get out of his hollow onto the main
road, Haney said you literally have
to run for your life.
That's because Route 825 was
straightened and two bridges were
installed as part of Johnson
County's section of new U.S. 23.
Oddly enough, straightening the
road has not improved safety conditions, Haney said.
Before construction. he said, a
steep curve prevented traffic lrom
traveling at excessive speeds while
approaching the intersection of
Route 825 and Johnson Branch.
"Enough of this curve was
removed (during construction) to
allow traffic to go faster, but not
enough for the residents of Johnson
Branch and anyone else to see
oncoming traffic," Haney said.
Although 35-mile speed limit
signs arc posted, few motorists
observe them, he said.
Haney said that when he pulls
out of the hollow, he has to put the
pedal to the metal and hope for the
best.
The modification has resulted in
five accidents since construction
was completed, he said.
"It's amazing that no one has
been killed,'' Haney said. "But it's a
matter of time."
A neighbor, Robert Hannah,
agreed.
"It's a deathtrap," Hannah said.
After Haney, Hannah and other·
residents at Johnson Branch contacted officials about the problem
but found no immediate help,
Haney has taken action. He began a
petition dnve aimed at getting the
attention and help of several offi.
cials including Governor-elect Paul
Patton.
The petiti0n requests that "more
of the curve be removed to provide
a line-of-sight of oncoming traffic."
''Th1s is not a major construction
task, but could be performed in a
matter of hours by using the proper
road equipment," the petition says.
"We estimate that it would take no
more than three hours to do the
road work."
An alternative would be mstallation of a mtrror. Haney said.
"Someone is going to die,'' he
said. "And if someone docs die
after this petition, I'm gomg to sue
somebody, and it's going to be the
state."
In addition to Patton. others who
will b.! sent the petition arc U.S.
Representative Hal Rogers, state
Representative Hubert Collins of
Wittensville, state Senator John
David Preston of Paintsville and
Denton Billiter, chief district engineer of the state Department of
Highways in Pikeville.

concern since sections of new U.S.

Six members resign from HomePlace board
by Tony Fyffe
The Paintsville Herald
Six of the seven members of the
Paintsville Tourism Commission
have decided to keep their seats on
the commission but resign from the
Mountain HomePlace governing
board.
The decision follows a letter
from Mayor Robin Cooper, who
told commission members they
could not serve on both the tourism
commission and the Paintsville
Lake
Historical
Association
because of a possible conflict.
"I believe this situation has
caused a breakdown in the way (the
HomePiace) has progressed,"
Cooper said in his November 6 letter. "This setup has not allowed the
normal checks and balances to take
place."
As part of its cooperative agreement with the U.S. Corps of
Engineers to build the Mountain
HomePlace at Paintsville Lake, the
tourism commission had to establish the Paintsville Lake Historical
Association, a separate corporation.
Membership of the association was
made up of the seven tourism commissioners.
Earlier this year, as the
HomePiace opened, some city offi-
KELLY
CHEVROLET-OLDS, INC.

789-3585
cials questioned whether it was
proper for commission members to
serve on the HomePlace board.
Councilman Mitch Kinner said
there was a conflict because the
HomePlace would likely approach
the tourism commission for operating funds in its first few years.
In his letter, Cooper agreed that a
conflict exists.
"I feel that in order to proceed in
an orderly manner... there needs to
be a separation of the members of
the Paintsville Tourism Commission and the Paintsville Lake
Historical Association Inc., Board
of Directors," Cooper said. "This is
the only way that we can achieve
the oversight and scrutiny of expenditures that council and I feel is
needed."
Cooper told commission members they needed to "decide which
horse you want to ride."
Only one commission member,
longtime chairman Dan McKenzie,
decided to give up his commission
seat and remain on the HomePlace
board.
McKenzie said in a November
10 resignation letter to Cooper that
his term on the tourism commission
has expired and that he didn't seek
reappointment.
"The commission has worked
hard to develop a tourism program
for Paintsville that the people can
be proud of," McKenzie said. "We,
along with Prestonsburg and
Pikeville, have created a cluster of
area attractions capable of drawmg
significant numbers of visitors to
the region."
McKenzie said he hoped the
commission's "ground work will be
viewed as a solid foundation for
helping local tourism reach its great
potential."
Those remaining on the tourism
commission are Barbara Conley,
Mary Ritz, Marvin Walker, Bob
Hutchison, Wick Moore and David
Wheeler.
Meanwhile, three new members
have been appointed to the
Paintsville
Lake
Historical
Association.
They are Pat Patton, Mary
Preston
and
former
JudgeExecutive Gail Gillem.
Addiiional new members will be
appointed when other resignations
become official.
Court votes to correct deficiencies
by Tony Fyffe
The Paintsville Herald
With the state ready to issue a
notice of violation, the Johnson
County Fiscal Court approved a
plan Tuesday to correct deficiencies
in its solid waste program.
The action came three days
before the state Division of Waste
Management was prepared to cite
Johnson County for violating its
own long-range solid waste plan.
In
a
letter
Wednesday,
November 22, to Judge-Executive
Hobert Meade, agency official Joy
Morgan gave the court until
Thursday to act on a plan to bring
the solid waste program into compliance. If no action was taken,
Morgan said, a notice of violation
would be issued today, Friday.
"Johnson County's response to
the solid waste management plan
review is not complete,'' Morgan's
letter said. 'The proposal submitted
to our otit..:e on September 19 ... by
the Johnson County solid waste
coordinator did not receive fiscal
court approval."
Morgan was referring to a proposal by solid waste coordinator
Willard Burton that addresses problems noted in a review of Johnson
County's long-range solid waste
plan. Among other things, the
review showed that the county was
out of compliance in several areas
of its garbage plan. The main noncompliance was that the county had
not encouraged participation m its
mandatory garbage ordinance.
The review was completed July
6 and the county had until
September 24 to submit a response
in wnting.
Burton submitted the plan before
the deadline. but the fiscal court

Main Street restores
125-year-old school bell
A 125-year-old bell that once stood at Paintsville's
'first high school, and later at Paintsville Elementary,
has been resurrected and placed in front o_f the city
school's administration building on Second Street.
Paintsville Main Street coordinator Selene Blanton
said the idea to bring the bell out of retirement came to
her after going through some files at the public library.
She also discovered that the bell had been stored in the
• basement of the administration bUIIdmg.
The bell. given to the Paintsville Graded High
School in 1900, was originally on the steamer Andy
Hatcher, which was built in 1870 and ran on the Big
Sandy River for about 25 years.
When the vessel was destroyed by fire, the bell fell
Troy L. Brackett, 23, of Paoli, Indiana, was arrested
at II :45 p.m. Friday, November 17 by Van Lear Police
Chief Darrell Preston.
Brackett was arrested for allegedly stealing three
vehicles - two from dealerships after taking "test drives," authorities said.
Brackett allegedly stole a Ford truck from a residence in Indiana, Paintsville Assistant Police Chief
Steve Fitch ~aid.
Brackett apparently drove the truck to Brown's Auto
Sales where he told a salesman he wanted to use the
truck as a down payment for a 1985 Ford Thunderbird.
Brackett then test drove the Thunderbird back to
Indiana, where he allegedly used the same scam to steal
a 1982 Chevrolet Camaro from a dealership, Fitch said.
Brackett has been charged with three theft charges.
He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing December 6.

Forest fires rage, knock out
hospital's communications
Four forest fires in Pike County Monday destroyed
about 155 acres of land. and the most dangerous of the
fires knocked out communications at Pikeville
Methodist Hospital (PMH) for abut s1x hours.
The largest of the fires was across from the Island
Creek bndge on U.S. 23 in Pikeville and damaged
about 55 acres.
Because of high winds, insulators on two high-voltage w1res apparently worked loose and sparks caught

What happens when the Floyd
County
Schools
Office
of
Instruction teams with the Floyd
County Conservation District and
other members of the community
who value learning in mathematics
and science? Students get a chance
to celebrate their mathematics and
science learning!
Students from Floyd County
Schools were recently offered
another first opportunity as they
display their work and discuss their
learning activities in the content
areas of mathematics and science
during the Math and Science
Celebration Monday at Wilkinson/
Stumbo Convention Center.
Students rendered impressive
works on topics ranging from floating eggs and electricity to DNA and
calculus. Although some schools
have had science fairs in recent
years, students throughout the district have never had a time to share
and learn from one another.
No formal competition was held
so that students could be free to
bring a variety of examples of their
work. However, several members
from the community served as a
review panel so that student work
could be critiqued.
Student work received very good
overall reviews. Adams Middle
School was represented by teachers
Angela Cochran. Jennifer West,
Nellie Poe and Principal Janice
Allen. Integrated mathematics-science projects such as "Water
Works" were presented by students
Jennifer Owsley, Bethany Smith,
Amy Martin, Jessica Thornsbury,
Jan Austin, Stephanie Prater,
Courtney Collins, Tia Dobson and
Amanda Whitt.
Allen Central High School
teachers Amy Halbert, Robert
jMayton and Mark Blackburn
accompanied students who demonstrated calculus applications using
the Calculator-based laboratory and
lhe graphing calculator as well as
chemical experiments. Students
who represented the school were
Jeremy Hall, Robin Sexton, Jessica
Slone, Dennis Mayo, Traci Gibson,
Drema Kilgore, Denice Hughes,
Shelley Ward
and Ephraim
O'Quinn. The students were assisted by Wesley Halbert.
Allen Elementary students were
accompanied by teachers Berandine

Prior to the Mathematics/
Science
Celebration,
Allen
Elementary conducted a. schoolwide event which allowed more students to send work. Class ~ooks of
mathematics and science work were
sent to represent the accompanying
teachers' classrooms.
Students who presented at the
celebration were Bethany Joseph,

Pl-:OPLE WITH TOO MUCH
TIME ON THEIR HANDS
-China's official Xinhua News Agency reported
in July that Yu Qian, a dentist in Heilongjiang
province, has built an 8-foot-high tower, consisting of
28,000 diseased teeth he collected over the years, to
help raise awareness of dental hygiene.
- A researcher writing in the July issue of the
• European Journal of Physics concluded that the torque
of an average piece of bullcred toast, falling off of a
table of average height, causes "an inevitable
butter-down final state [hitting the tloor]."
-A July Associated Prc!.s story described the work
of Ellie Jenkins, a counter for the Mosquito Control
Commission in Savannah. Ga. Jenkms drives around to
38 specified locations, stands with her arms and legs
spread, and ascertains whether she receives five bites a
minute - which is the threshold to summon county
spraying trucks. And a June Toledo Blade story reported on the work of Mike Pixley, who tests La-Z-Boy
chairs at the company plant in Monroe, Mich. Pixley
rocks about 2,800 times a day, at $6 an hour. Said his
supervisor, Judy Fay, praising Pixley, "I want someone
who's self-motivated, who sets their own personal
goals."
-Recent contests in the news: In June, contestants
hurled 45-pound toilets through the air at the Blue Tip
Festival in Wadsworth, Ohio, with the winning toss
receiving a complimentary toilet from the Kohler Co.
And the 16th annual World Worm-Charming
Championship was held in England in June, with a
variety of methods i>eing used, including one contestant's drawing worms out of the ground by playing
"Raindrops Keep Falhn' on My Head."
- In June, the Iowa State Historical Society finally
opened long-embargoed boxes of self-published, highly detailed, autobiographical journals donated by a not
particularly prominent architect named Charles
Remey, who died in 1979 and who was apparently
obsessed with making sure the public was not denied
his life story. In descnbing the collection, a Des
Moines Register writer wrote that one of the volumes,
"The Wardrobe of Gertrude Hcim Remcy," Charles'
wife, was "quite likely the best book ever written about
his wife's clothes."
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
-After a two-day trial in April, a judge in London,
Ontario. found David Peterson of Warrenville, Ill., not
guilty of "excessive" spanking of his 5-year-old
daughter. Peterson had hit the girl on her bare bonom
with his hand after she had slammed a car door on her
2-year-old brother's fingers, but police filed charges
that alleged that the spanking was illegal in Canada
because it was carried out in anger.
- In July, preacher Ahdul Talib Harun, 35, was
sentenced to two years in prison in Kuala Lampur for
having 10 wives, which is six more than permitted
under Muslim Jaw. All 10, with whom he has 17 children, strongly supported Harun during his yearlong
trial. The four lawful wives were also sent to jail L .1
month for permitting the illegal cohabitation.
-According to a May Wall Street Journal article,
Palestinians intent on improvmg their personal religious standing now suffer from "martyr mflation" terming any relative who passes away to be a martyr.
Muslims believe that a martyr goes straight to paradise,
sits with God, is absolved of all sins, and enjoys 70 virgin brides. According to a Palestinian journalist, "It's
not easy to come to a family and say, 'Your relative is
not a martyr. He's just dead."'
CREME DE LA WEIRD
Officials in South Hams District in England filed
charges in October against farmer Trevor Sedgbeer for
defying an order to dismantle his two-bedroom bungalow because 1t was built without a permit. Instead of
dismantling it, Sedgbecr removed the roof, filled the
house with d1rt to a height covering the walls, and
planted grass and bushes on it. When he thought police
were satisfied that the house had been torn down,
Sedgbeer removed all the dirt and reattached the roof,
but authorities came by again and saw that the house
had reappeared.

Poperri
by Scott Perry
Looks like this new Beatles' song
not only brings John Lennon back from
the grave, but it offers some secret
messages, as well.
These messages can only be decoded
by playing the song backward, and they
were discovered accidentally when a
freak solar disturbance reversed the
polar magnetic fields and caused
everyones' record players to play backward for about five minutes on Sunday,
November 12,just as the new song was
being aired for the first time.
You probably didn't realize that the
song was being played backward or
that the message you were receiving
was a secret because, like us, you were
no doubt marveling at how well John
Lennon sounded for a dead man.
In case you didn't know it, there is
an organization out there which
devotes its entire reason for existing to
listening to music backward to see if
any unsavory or unacceptable lyrics are
being pumped into the ears and minds
of our unsuspecting young people. ·
They believe that certain words and
phrases are purposely included in
music to brainwash kids and make
them do goofy things, like drive to
school even though they live right next
door.
We've done some research on this,
too, and have concluded that teen-agers
don't need to be brainwashed because
they're naturally goofy.
But, we tested a few lyrics ourselves
just to see if there was any conspiracy
to·take over young minds.
Taking a line from a song popular in
our day, here's what we discovered...
When read backward, the line,
"Innagoddadavida, baby" comes out
"ybaba divad add oganni," which not
only makes about as much sense either
way you read it, but also, in the reverse
form, sounds just like most Bob Dylan
songs.
Just remember this ... Bob spelled
backward is still Bob, but "tuna"
spelled backward ain't no fish.
Either way, though, it pretty well
describes the character of anyone who
believes that something fishy is going
on in the music world.

Christmas lights bring hope
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
Christmas is the time of year
when the lights of the Big Sandy
Mended Hearts program bum
their brightest, for that is when
their Lights of Life shine as a
reminder that the flame of life
can· be extinguished.
On December 5, the Mended
• Hearts members will illuminate
an evergreen with red and white
lights that have been sponsored
by area residents. Each gift of $5
will place a red or white light on
the tree, Danese Amburgey, chairman of the Lights of Life campaign, said Wednesday.
Lights will twinkle in honor of
someone who has passed a milestone in life or in memory of
• someone who has died. Red
lights will honor those who have
overcome a disaster, such as a
major illness, or who have
accomplished an outstanding
event, such as a 50th wedding
anniversary. White lights will
shine in remembrance of those
individuals who have died.
Proceeds from the Lights of
Life program may help save
lives, according to Amburgey.
Part of the donations will be used
to fund two scholarships for

A portion of the money will
also be used to train members of
the Mended Heart's accredited
visitor program. Through the visitor program, members of Mended
Hearts soothe some of the fears
of heart patients. They explain
medical procedures, provide
information about lifestyle
changes, and they also try to
cheer them up, Amburgey says.

also provides patient packages

You know the feeling. You're dreaming of a real
Norman Rockwell-esque Thanksg1ving. You have
warm and fuzzy thoughts of family closeness and blissful domesticity. Instead, you get cigar smoke blown in
your face by an inconsiderate uncle, your mother is
wondering out loud how you can possibly survive on
the pittance you make and why did she spend all the
money on college, and some other relative is in the
kitchen, partaking of a little too much holiday cheer.
That's what this hilarious, wonderfully executed
movie is all about. Holly Hunter portrays Claudia
Larson. She's on her way home to Baltimore for a family Thanksgiving. However, she's not really looking
forward to it. She's just lost her job (as an art historian
in a Ch1cago museum) and her 16-year-old daughter
(Claire Danes) has casually announced she's not going
to Grandma's for Thanksgiving. She's going to her
boyfriend's where they w1ll "safely" consummate their
relationship. Needless to say, Claudia is in no holiday
mood.
Arriving at home, Claudia's mom (the inimitable
Anne Bancroft) immediately pounces, besieging the
poor woman with meaningless trivialities and concerns.
Dad (Charles Durning) apparently is a bit of a voyeur
since he just can't seem to put down that camcorder.
When he does, it's only to play his dippy chord organ
(with one finger, yet!).
Soon, Claudia's gay brother (Robert Downey, Jr.)
arrives with his companion, Leo (Dylan McDermott).
Claudia's sister (Cynthia Stevenson, "Hope and
Gloria") arrives as well. She's the daughter who decid~
ed to stay close to home and she's more than upset
about having to deal with her parents and their problems. She's married to a one-dimensional banker (Steve
Guttenberg) and has two no-neck monsters from hell.
The height of hilanty, though, is provided by Aunt
Gladys (Geraldine Chaplin). Her performance alone is
worth the price of admission.
Please don't miss this during this festive season.
You'll be chuckling throughout the holidays!

TUNING IN
IN FOCUS 1: K Callan, who
plays Martha Kent, Superman's
mom on ABC's "Lois and Clark,"
has added another famous son to
her repertory list, courtesy of the
new film, "Saved by the Light" airing on FOX December 12. "This is
a true story," K said, "and one that I
find has touched me very deeply.
Eric Roberts plays my soi1 in this
film. This is a young man who
believes that he died for a short
while and was restored to life. He
also believes that he was brought
back for a purpose, and he's since
turned his whole life around. Where
he previously did things that were
basically antisocial, he's become a
force for good."
Callan is a prolific writer who
has written five best-selling "howto" books which are directed primarily at actors.
Incidentally, asked what she tells
fans who wonder what it must be
like for Martha to be Superman's
mother, Callan said, "I just say
Martha is as proud of him as you
are of your children."
BY SALLY STONE
Steele's "Mixed Blessings" airing
on NBC December 12. "I was
attracted to the role because I liked
the character and I liked the story,"
he said. "The film, basically, is
about people who try to start a family and find themselves being
affected in ways they hadn't expected. We get to see some of the technology that can now be used to treat
infertility, or monitor high-risk
pregnancies and the like. But most
of all, the film shows how human
beings react when faced with some
of the most important decisions
they'll ever have to make."
Also coming up this week are
several other productions worthy of
your notice and, perhaps, even
VCR-able for future re-viewing, to
wit: "Marshall Law" airing on
SHOWTIME Dec. 10, starring
Jimmy Smits; "Lamb Chop's
Special Chanukah," with Shari
Lewis recounting the story of the
Jewish rebellion against a tyrant

This is a new school year and
our program isn't Chapter I anymore but is now Title I. We, as Title
I, teachers have attended so many
great workshops that I know we are
better prepared to teach than ever
before. It is an exciting time in the
Floyd County educational system. I
see things moving quickly and
rapidly. We, here in Kentucky, are
in the forefront of education in the
Southeastern part of our nation.
You. as my readers. may say
how do you know with such certamty. Well. I just attended a math
workshop in Knoxv11le, Tennessee
for four days with John Maddox
from Betsy Layne Elementary,
Vickie Pack of Prestonsburg
Elementary, Harold Newsome of
John M. Stumbo Elementary. I represented Osborne, Auxier, and
Prater elcmentaries. As we sat and
listened and participated in the
many workshops, we realized that
Kentucky teachers are 3-5 years
ahead of many of the other
Southeastern states in what's going
on in education. We began doing
these things in the Floyd County
school system in the 1990-91
school year th~t the workshop was
now encouragmg all teachers to
begin to do. We teachers in Title I
have had much training for this new
school year in helping students to

Recently the Title I teachers at

was a very good turnout of both the
students and their parents. There
was good food, great fun, and all of
us getting to know each other better.

Each month Clark Elementary recognizes someone who has been
making an outstanding contribution through volunteering. Recently
the school honored Hershel Owens who arrives early on dark, foggy
mornings and parks his deputy sheriff's car on 114 at the street leading into the school. His blue light helps provide safety for all of us as
we make that turn from 114 or back onto 114.

The writing and language skills of Floyd County Students will be spotlighted during EXPO '95, December
4-5, from 6-8:30 p.m. at the Wilkinson/Stumbo Convention Center. Teachers from the Floyd County schools
held a planning session for the event Monday, November 27, at the convention center. At the Expo, parents
and the public can see the students' works in progress: stages of the work will be displayed as well as fin·
ished pieces. Forensics students will perform at scheduled intervals and each high school will be featured
for musical selections. The center will be open all day Tuesday and student tours are scheduled, beginning
at 9 a.m.
Company Commander is one of
the highest positions in the Corps
of Cadets chain of command. "It's
a great honor," Cadet Osborne stated in a telephone interview. "It is
much more than an academic challenge. West Point adds the leadership challenge, and th1s promotion
is an extension of that" Osborne
added.
Cadet Osborne normally starts
his day at 6:20a.m. by forming up
the 110 cadets in Company H, 1st
Regiment. He also heads up another formation before lunch and after
morning and afternoon classes. In
addition, he takes part in drills,
practice for different ceremonies
and intramural sports.
As Company Commander, he is
responsible for the overall training
and administration of his company.
During the academic year, the
4,400 cadets at West Point are
organiZed into four regiments with
three battalions making up each
regiment. Three companies make

Your Amazing Skin
The Inside Story OfYour Outside
(r-\APS)-Here arc a
few facts about your skin
you may be touched to
discover
1. The skin is considered by biologists to be lhc
body's largest organ-26
square feet on average.
2. M edical researchers
say the skin is a window
and a mirror of the body's
condition. Compromised
•immune systems (as with
HIV/AIDS) as well as
internal disorders including lupus, diabetes and
Iyme disease, often show
up on the skin first.
3. The skin is one of the
main points of entry for
chemi cals from the environment into your body.
4 . There are about
2,000 different medically
recognized skin disorders.
Virtually every American
family has at least one
member who suffers from
one of them.
5. Skin disorders are
the second leading cause
of work-related illness.
6. Skin trouble can occur anytime of year. Just
• as you have to be particularly careful to avoid sunburn in the summertime,
the cold, dry air and low
humidity most people are
in during the winter can
"chap" the entire body.
7. When winter's "wetdry" cycle reduces your
skin's natural protective
barrier, you may become
more susceptible to allergic skin reactions.
8. Monitor skin blemishes and moles for changes in size, shape or color
which can indicate cancer.
~ Bleeding or any discharge
can also be symptoms.
Moles which may be cancerous often have asymmetrical halves, uneven or

quarter-inch in size. Other
cancer signs can include a
firm crusty tumor; or
round skin patches that
are translucent, shiny or
scaly and white, pink, gray
or red.
9. Learn more about
skin conditions and ways
to protect the skin that
protects you. A group
working on that is American Skin Association. It's
a national organization
building a network of lay
people to achieve more
effective prevention, treatment and cure of skin disorders. Its program ineludes generating support
for skin research and providing information and
education to the public
regarding the skin and its
disorders.

Paren ts' Anxiety Over Temperature Tak ing
(NAPS)-If you are a
parent of a child under the
age of fourteen, you are one
of the most important users
• of fever thermometers. An
accurate thermometer
reading not only helps a
doctor to properly treat
your child's illness (by
knowing what the temperature is and its severity), it
also helps to reassure you
as the parent. Accurate
temperature tracking can
help to confirm the onset of
illness, monitor its severity,
indicate the onset of recovery, and confirm a return to
good health. All of which
are particularly important
to working parents who
• need to know if their
youngsters are really sick
enough for them to stay
home and take them to a
doctor.
A new digital thermometer on the market
now helps to reassure parents that they're getting an
accurate temperature
reading. Aptly called the B1)3 ACCU-BEEP'" digital thermometer , it gives a clear
monitoring beep every four
seconds to tell a parent
that it is positioned correctly under the tongue. If the
• thermometer shifts to an
incorrect position, compromising the accuracy of the
temperature measurement, the beep is interrupted, alerting the parent.
There is a different beep
signal when the temperature reading is completed.
The beep not only makes
it easier for a parent to take
a child's temperature, it cap-

is turned on. This provides a reference point to
determine if a fever is

The
thermometer,
which is for oral, rectal or
underarm use, is fully
water-resistant for easy
cleaning. It is also guaranteed to be as accurate
as traditional glass thermometers.

tion owner Dale McKinney.
Thompson is charged with one
count of willful neglect of duty for
allegedly failing to properly account for tax receipts since January
1990. The charge is listed as a violation, not a felony, and could be remanded to district court.
Circuit Judge John David
Caudill said Tuesday that the issue
is under review to determine if the
case will be heard in district court.
If the sheriff is convicted on the
charge, there is no jail penalty involved, but he would have to vacate
his elected position, Larry Fentress,
special prosecutor for the attorney
general's office said Monday.
Over a year ago, Sheriff Thompson reported to the attorney general's office and the state auditor's office that he had discovered that approximately $25,000 was missing
from his office. Thompson asked
both agencies to investigate the discrepancies.
Thompson declined to comment
on the grand jury's report Monday,

Council sends Center Stage
ordinance back for rewrite
by Alisa Goodwill
Staff Writer
A liquor ordinance that would
benefit one local business is being
sent back to the drawing board
after Monday night's Prestonsburg
City Council meeting.
The second reading of the ordinance, which would benefit Center
Stage by defining what a bona fide
restaurant means, was postponed
by city council members.
The original ordinance, approved in 1988, was amended to
read that any establishment which

hours of operations and has a minimum seating capacity of 350 persons at tables may serve liquor by

· "The question of whether or not
if you as a city have the right to define a bona fide restaurant is yes,"
Frankfort attorney Catherine Staib,
who is representing Center Stage,
said.
State Jaw pertaining to liquor
sales defines a bona fide restaurant
as one which is open to the public
and has a~ least 100 seats.
"You have the abihty to define
what a restaurant is as long as you
don't go below the statute," Staib,
who for 11 years worked for the
Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) board, said. "Otherwise the
definition belongs to you."
The statute states a license for
alcoholic beverages by the drink
shall only be issued to hotels or
bona fide restaurants open to the
general public having dining facilities for not less than 100 persons.
The Kentucky Administrative
Regulations, which is not a law,

Bob Meyer will speak on regional development at a joint session
of the Floyd County Chamber of
Commerce and the Big Sandy
Area Labor Management Committee.
Former Floyd County JudgeExecutive Bob Meyer will speak to
a joint meeting of the Floyd County Chamber of Commerce and the
Big Sandy Area Labor Management Committee at noon Monday,
\ December 4, at Jenny Wiley State
\ Park. Meyer is a proponent of re\gional planning as a tool to stimulate the economy and promote
growth in the Big Sandy area.
"It's the only way to go," says
Meyer. "When key people work together, pooling resources, combining talents, the result is a more unified, productive business commu-
nity." Meyer referred to looming
federal cuts as a threat to economic development in the area. "As
dollars get tighter, the need increases for regional planning," he
said.
Effective planning is based on
accurate, adequate information, according to Meyer. He expressed a
need to gather such pertinent information in the five-county area, assess the data, determine common
ground among the counties, then
prioritize needs. Such a process
will lay the foundation for ongoing regional planning, he said.

Adams was indicted earlier this

The Mountain Arts Center is
to open In seven
months, but after the Prestonsburg
City Council meeting Monday the
center may open without an executive director.
Prestonsburg City Council
voted five to three against the
Mountain Arts Center commission's recommendation to hire
Gary Frazier, of Prestonsburg, as
the center's executive director.
Council members Estill Carter,
Hansel Cooley and Ralph Davis
voted in favor of Frazier. Council
members Robert Allen, Dick
Clark, Billy Ray Collins, Paula
Goble and Danny Hamilton voted
against the recommendation.
Frazier would have been hired
at a dollar a month for the first 12months of his 24-month contract.
The second year, Frazier would
have been paid $3,000 a month.
"There is no money budgeted,"
Carter said. "This council nor the
commission put money in the budget for the position. He (Frazier) is
the only one who was willing to
work for free."
Paul Hughes, chairman for the
commission, said the center should
have funds for the second year.
The funds that are currently
available to the Mountain Arts
Center are tied up with the construction phase of the project,
Hughes added.
'
"Operational funds may become available after the first of the
year," Hughes said Tuesday. "It
will be after we obtain funds that
we can hire an executive director.
That was a big part of the reason to
hire Frazier at this time."
Frazie1 would have been an employee of the commission, not the
city, he added.

The county's solid waste program has been under fire since December 1993, when the solid waste

In February 1994, Floyd County Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson

based on a complaint made by then

added.
"I think the consensus of the
council was a person who would
work for free is not a valid qualification," Allen, who is also a member of the commission, said Tuesday. "With other candidates with
more relevant work experience, I
voted the way I did.
"A lot of people in the community told me they were not for it. I
was elected to represent the people
and in good conscience could not
vote for him."
Council member Dick Clark
said Tuesday that he agrees with
Allen's statements and added that a
$6 million center needs to be run in
a professional manner.
"I don't see that he (Frazier)
brings to the table the necessary
qualifications to fulfill this position," Clark said. "This is in no
way a reflection on him, he is professional in education because that
is his background. But he doesn't
have what we need for this project
and there are more qualified people
out there."
Carter, also a member of the
MAC board, said the commission
needs input on hiring the executive
director, especially since the center
doesn't have any money.

vote down something that a committee works on, you need to give
them an alternative suggestion.

"There is no use interviewing
people who we can't afford to hire.
We can't use city funds, because it
is against the ordinance."
A city ordinance that created the
commission states that the city
shall not be liable for the payment
out of the city's general fund for
any salary of any person employed
by the commission, which includes
the executive director and the manager.
"Hopefully, by July I the center
will be opened and we need an executive director," Hughes said
Tuesday. "We really needed one

thought we had solved the problem, but I guess not. This is just another one of the hurdles to go

Although city council voted
against Frazier, the council ratified
the commission's selection of Greg
Crum as manager for the Mountain
Arts Center.
Crum will work part-time as the
center's manager and work fulltime as the Kentucky Opry's stage
manager.
Crum's contract was effective
November I and he will be hired at

"We urge you not to wait for the
opinion," Staib said.
Carter said he is not "antiClyde," but Center Stage owner
Clyde Woods was put on notice a
year ago.
"I don't think a deadline should
be our concern and by your
(Staib's) own standards to impose a
deadline is not fair to us," he added.
"We have a responsibility to Clyde,
the town and to ourselves. I think it
is important that we get an unbiased opinion on this matter," Carter
said
"This ordinance and definition
needs to withstand down the road.
We need to work with a percentage," he added.
Staib said a percentage is harder
to reach with a large facility, but
they would work with the city.
"The definition would be beneficial to Clyde Woods, that is not a
secret, but the Attorney General is
not going to tell you what the definition of a bl">na fide restaurant is "
Staib said.
'
Staib suggested Center Stage
could work with amending the ordinance again. The suggested
amendment would read a bona fide
restaurant is one where 25 percent
or more of its gross revenue comes
from the sale of food.
Council approved a motion to
redraft the ordinance. The issue
will be discussed at a special city
council meeting held today,
Wednesday, at 12:30 p.m. at city

Cinnamon adds spice to many
popular holiday recipes. But if
abused, it also can lead to mouth
problems, according to University
of Louisville oral pathologist
Richard Miller.
Miller says cinnamon can irritate
the mouth's lining, causing a burning sensation. In extreme cases,
ulcers or white spots can form in
the mouth. The lesions can be confused with more serious conditions.
Miller says the sores aren't particularly common; the people most
likely to have problems arc those
who rely heavily on cinnamon gum
or candy to help stop smoking.

Coffee
While many Eastern Kentucky counties
are focusing on job development as a primary function of local government,
Johnson County appears to be going to
the dogs.
Word that officials have agreed to trade
a county-owned building for property on
which to construct a dog pound is a bit
curious for a couple of reasons.
First, Johnson County already has a
reasonably new animal shelter and, secondly, you would think that the potential
for attracting new jobs would be more
important than housing stray critters.
The county ought to be offering the
rent-free use of the building, located on
old Route 23 near the airport, to small
businesses interested in starting up in the
Big Sandy. Once a company gets its feet
on the ground there, it could move to its
own location and another could come in.
Those types of incentives have worked
before.
It makes no sense to dispose of any
asset that might encourage economic
.Age is only virtue
of 'May outhouse'
Editor:
A volume of wish-think history
has been written about the May
House and the people who built and
rebuilt it.
Some claim that slaves dug clay
along the Big Sandy to make bricks
for the house, while others dispute
this.
It has been stated that Samuel
May abandoned his family and
went west to the gold fields of
California; where he died in 1849,
1850, or 1851-take your choice.
Others claim that the house barely survived the neglect of the period
1850-1865. And still others claim or
suggest that it did not survive intact
and was literally built again using
remnant materials following the
civil war.
Simply stated, there is no definite history of the house. Yet,
enough infonnation exists to indicate that it has already been rebuilt
more times than Michael Jackson's
face is rumored to have been. So
there is little to suggest that it is the
original house built by Samuel
May; built or rebuilt by Colonel
Jack May or slept in by Lumber
Jack May. And, if it could be established, what basic difference would
it make?
The house, either in the sense of
architecture or history that happened there, is not even remotely
significant to our heritage or cultural development. Neither are Samuel
May or Colonel Jack May.
With tongue in cheek, one could
say that Samuel May, who abandoned his family for the gold fields
of California, was a role model for
the modern generation that abandoned their families for the richer
digs of Detroit, Michigan, and
Gary, Indiana.
Had young Jack May not been
raised in a one-parent family without a father figure, perhaps he
would not have joined that armed
rebellion against his country.
When compared to the Mayo
Mansion in Paintsville, the May
House hardly rates consideration as
an outhouse behind the servants
quarters. Yet, the Mayo Mansion,
operated quietly, but brilliantly as a
school since 1945, is no tourist
Mecca. How many Floyd County
citizens have ever journeyed the 19
what we must do, and lead us out of
the quicksand we are in.
Throughout our history in Floyd
County, we have been plagued with
leaders as sorry as any rogues in
history. Not one politician or other
leader in my living memory has
ever said, "I will work with you and
for you. Together we will build
good roads, good schools, lay water
lines to the homes of all our people;
raise the job skills of our workers,
etc ...."
Not one politician or leader has
ever told us that solving our problems will require hard work, sacrifice, good citizenship and more
hard work to build the kind of county that will attract quality industrial t
jobs. No, we have been given so
much pie-in-the-sky that it blots out
the sun.
As an aside, I often try to imagine what kind of speech a Floyd
County politician or leader would
have given in place of Sir Winston
Churchill's desperate challenge to
the citizens of England. " I have
nothing to offer you but blood,
sweat, and tears ... " Perhaps our
fearless leaders would have said,
"Relax folks , nothing to sweat. I
will apply for these grants..."
I have no quarre l with the
Friends of the May House. It is no
doubt an enjoyable social organization of very talented people. Mr.
Samuel Hatcher of Pikeville writes
~ith the grace and dign ity of a
learned scribe. My argument is
against the May House as a project
that will cost upwards of $500,000.
Neither the house nor the builders
or rebuilders, are significant to our
history or heritage. It is no more or
no less then an old house whose
only virtue is its age.

Has any reader ever been caught
in a traffic jam there, fighting for
parking space with out-of-state
tourists. Yet, the May House, a
crude structure whose single virtue
is age, is supposed to become a
major tourist attraction. Perhaps on
the same order as Thunder Ridge.
Which brings us to the most
important question concerning
major investments in the tourist
industry. Why in the name of sanity
would anyone want to build a
tourist industry? It is possibly the
worst economic base in civilized
society.
Agreed, hotel and restaurant
owners make out like bandits, but
for the nameless, faceless workers
of the tourist trade, it is an economic and social disaster-a socio-economic death sentence.
Most tourist jobs are exempt
from the minimum wage and nonexempt wage earner Jaws. Thus,
these workers rank economically
with migrant farm workers and illegal aliens.
For these tourist workers lucky
enough to get the federal minimum
wage, three family members in a
family of four must work full-time
to approach-not get past-the federal designated poverty income
level for a family of that number.
Few tdurist jobs offer medical
insurance, sick leave, paid vacation
or any other amenity associated
with quality industrial jobs.
Tourism impacts on an area with
transit people, greatly increasing
the demand for police, roads, hospitals and public facilities, generally
without adding a dime to the tax
base that support these institutions.

politics and stubborn temperaments and
shoot for something bigger and better.
This could be our last best chance.
With that said, we'll renew our call for
the creation of a multi-county task force
that serves the sole purpose of developing new opportunities in this neck of the
woods.
That should include the purchase,
development and marketing of industrial
sites as well as a program to provide venture capital to promising entrepreneurs.
County governments must be the primary players since they have access to
the resources, both financial and political,
to pull off any regional economic develop·
ment coup.
With an Eastern Kentuckian about to
take charge in Frankfort, now is the time
for us to take charge of our future.

Looks like we're going to be sending
American troops to Bosnia, where ethnic
clans have been killing one another since
the turn of the century, presumably with
the idea that we can stop the slaughter
before the next century arrives.
That might not be so easy a task in a
country where civil war is a tradition.
The president says, though, that we
have vital national interests at stake in
this mess and only Americans can make
peace happen.
Well, maybe we do have a humanitarian duty to try and stop the killing of innocent people, including women and children, but national interests?
What national interests?
The Europeans have some national
interests at stake, sure, but what threat is
a civil war in Bosnia to America?
If we are going to put American lives in
jeopardy, let's do it for the right reasons .. .like cracking down on countries
that are providing the drugs that are
wrecking our own country from within.
Now there's a national interest for you.
In Bosnia we can, and probably should,
be a temporary referee in a centuries-old
blood bath. But these people hate each
other for living and nothing we can do will
change that fact.
The president's popularity is picking up
a bit after his showing of backbone ·in the
budget standoff and now with his gettough stance in Bosnia, but a recent
headline in the Bowling Green Daily
News might suggest otherwise ...

LetterS---------Asks for information
on former best friend
~
Editor:
Many years ago I went to school
with a girl named Virginia Phonex
(1 don't know if that is spelled
right). She was my best friend all
through school.
.
We wrote back and forth for
years.
She married Isaac Click. They
had two sons. The oldest was
named Tilden.
Virginia visited me in 1957. We
continued to write for awhile. Then
all at once my letters were neither
answered nor returned. I have wor-·
ried and wondered so many times
as to what has become of her.
I would appreciate any infonnation you can give me.

know where else to inquire.

Clinton responds
to Matijasic letter
Editor's note: The following letter was sent to Thomas D.
Matijasic, an instructor at
Prestonsburg Community College,
from President Bill Clinton in
response to a letter Matijasic sent
to the President about a solution to
the situation in Bosnia.
Dear Thomas:
Thank you for wntmg to me
about the situation in the fonner
Yugoslavia. Now more than ever,
the United States has an opportunity-and
a
responsibility-to
remake American diplomacy and
reinforce American security in a
new world unburdened by superpower confrontation.
As I have consistently maintained, the best strategy to ensure
our security and build a lasting
peace is to support the advance of
democracy elsewhere. Our commitment to democracy and human
rights not only reflects our values,
heritage, and cultural ties: it is also
consistent with and reinforces our
national interest.
:
From the beginning of my
administration, the ideals of democracy, human rights, and free market
refonn have stood as pillars of the
U.S. foreign policy, and I remain
committed to promoting these
goals. I hope I can count on your
support as I seek to preserve the
security of our nation while helping
other countries to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear.
Bill Clinton
Times readers lucky
to have Ed Taylor
Editor:
Allow us to begin by saying
what a thrill it has been working
with Ed Taylor, sports editor of The
Aoyd County Times, for these last
several years.
There are few people in this
world who care about their job as
Ed does, and it ~hows in each edition of this newspaper. The readers
of The Aoyd County Times are
very lucky to have Ed. It is often
easy to take someone for granted,
but readers-and bosses-of this
paper should make sure they don't
assume he'll always be there.
We've said it many times these
last several years, we wouldn't take
double our current salaries to be the
person to replace Ed Taylor. That
person could work around the clock
and not do the work he has done.
So as we leave, we say thanks to
Ed Taylor, and pass along this
friendly reminder to the readers of
The Aoyd County Times. Enjoy
him while he's here. He won't be
there forever, and he will never be
replaced when he leaves.
Ed, it's been our pleasure.

powder blast at the May House!
It is regrettable that his manifested skill and artistry in the field of
polemics has not been directed
heretofore at some really threatening activities in local and state politics. Had he done so, our Floyd
County, and Kentucky images just
might be now better. I wonder if,
about 60 years ago, his kinsman,
"Printer" Goble, would have
released his boiling lead to set such
a diatribe for publication in the
Aoyd County Times.

Editor's note: The following is a
copy of a letter sent to Robert
Perry, president of the Friends of
the May House, and sent to the
Floyd County 1imes by fax.
Dear Friend:
Your recent letter, supported by
the Floyd County Times reprint,
sought a pledge to assist the May
House program. I strong!; favor
that project, and enclose another
small contribution. However, I'm
sure you can understand that at my
age I do not undertake any pledges;
in fact, I'm always grateful that
today is yesterday's tomorrow.
Surely something more stinging
than your letter triggered the Floyd
County Times letter-writer's black

The Floyd County Times
Johnson acquitted of theft charge r-------,
EVERY ITEM
A
after jury deliberates 20 minutes LI!.E.f! !t~U~J
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
It took just 20 minutes Tuesday
for a Floyd County jury to acquit a
Prestonsburg man on a theft charge.
Luther Johnson of Prestonsburg
was indicted in July 1994 for theft
by unlawful taking for allegedly
snatching a deposit bag from a
branch of the First Commonwealth
Bank. The bag reportedly contained
$2,600 In deposits by Ray
Howard's Furniture Store in
Prestonsburg.
In opening statements, assistant
commonwealth
attorney
Dan
Rowland argued that Johnson went
to the branch bank on May II and
took bank deposits totaling $2,600
by Ray Howard's Furniture from a
teller's window. Rowland said that
the teller was busy with other customers and did not notice the
deposits were missing until later
that day.
Defense attorney Ned Pillersdorf
argued that Johnson went to the
bank that day to cash two checks for
contract labor he had performed. He
said that the teller could only say
that Johnson had taken the coin
tape.
"They sort of have an eyewitness," Pillersdorf said. "All she can
prove is that he stole a coin tape.
Mrs. Ousley loses her job at the
bank after this happens."
In closing arguments Tuesday,
defense attorney Ned Pillersdorf
argued that bank officials were
playing "hard ball" with the incident because teller Joan Ousley was
fired two days after the money was
discovered missing.
"Ms. Ousley got fired and she
had worked there since 1979," the
defense attorney said. "What did
Ms. Ousley do wrong? She said she
thought Mr. Johnson had taken a
coin tape. She never said she saw
him take $2,600.
"Luther was there and got
$687," Pillersdorf said. "At either
2:30 p.m. or 6 p.m. that day, they
started calling customers about it.
They didn't know what happened in
this case. Luther Johnson wasn't the
only person in the bank. It's a preWhat j,.. a weed? A plant
who~e Yirtues ha\'e not been
di,..COH'I'ed.
-Ralph \\ aldo Emt>r,..on
postcrous idea to think someone
would go in a bank and grab
$2,600. You look up and sec cameras. That's why people wear masks
to rob banks."
Kenneth Ray Webb, who was in
the truck with Johnson at the tim
and was at one time a suspect in the
case, told officials that when
Johnson returned to the vehicle, he
told Webb he had robbed the bank.
Rowland argued that Webb had
told officials that Johnson admitted
to "robbing" the bank and told him
to "get out of there." He added that
it was not an offense against a bank,
but that it was a crime against the
commonwealth. He urged jurors to
look at the evidence.
"If we haven't proven our case
beyond a reasonable doubt, find
him not guilty," Rowland said. "If
we have proven our case, I ask you
to do your job."
Pillersdorf argued that Webb had
also been indicted on the same
charge relating to the same incident,
but that he had accepted a deal from
the commonwealth to plead guilty
to a misdemeanor and receive probatiOn in exchange for testifying
against Johnson.
Rowland told jurors it was difficult to get one participant in a case
to "tell the truth against another."
The defense attorney also noted
that bank official identified the suspect as "unknown" nine days after
the incident, but they were aware of
Webb's accusation against Johnson
seven days after the money was discovered missing.
Guilty--------County Attorney Jim Hammond
and Adams' attorney. John Kirk,
signed an agreed order dismissing
the charges.
Hammond's proseuctorial duties were suspended when he was
indicted.
The dismissal said that evidence
existed which would clear Adams,
but that "the commonwealth " was
unable to obtain the evidence from
the defendant and had "no grounds
to contest" it.
Also on that day, Floyd District
Judge James Allen signed the
order, but he later rescinded that
action because it was signed in
error.
"I didn't know what I was signing," Judge Allen said Monday. "It
was an innocent mistake."
To complicate the issue, Judge
Allen said he was upset when it
was discovered that he had signed
the dismissal and he expressed that
to a district clerk. The clerk used
correction fluid to remove the
judge's signature from the document, Judge Allen said.
"It was simply a mistake," the
judge said. "The district clerk used
white-out in haste to correct the
mistake when I let my feelings be
known. I'm not blaming the clerk."

pro tern John Mann and Kirk

(Continued from page one)
reached an agreement to dismiss
the charges based upon the agreement with Hammond.
Judge Allen explained that because of a previous Floyd County
case, a legal precedent had been set
that requires the state to abide by
an offer made to a defendant.
Mann said Monday that he felt
there were problems with the case,
but none that he felt were "insurmountable."
"Jim Hammond had already
signed an agreement prior to my
coming in this office," Mann said.
"There were some problems with
the case, but I was going to go forward with it. The girls and their
mothers are quite upset."
Mann explained that there was
some disagreement on whether or
not the alleged victims had signed
an affidavit in the Williams case
which reportedly claimed the incident did not happen. Williams' circuit court file was sealed because
juveniles were involved in the
case.

CHAIRS THAT MOVE
•
•
�The Floyd County Times
Wednesday, November 29, 1995 A7
New chairman elected to head pioneer festival
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
A new chairman was elected to
head the Jenny Wiley Pioneer
Festival at a meeting of the festival
committee Monday night.
Donna Blackburn, who also
chaired the former Jenny Wiley
Festival committee, was unanimously elected to chair the new
"mega-festival" planned for next
October.
Blackburn hesitated to accept the
position, but agreed to spearhead
the project after Prestonsburg
Tourism director Fred James said
that if the festival committee
agreed, a part-time employee would
be hired to help with the paperwork.
He explained that the Prestonsburg
Tourism Commission had discussed
hiring an employee to work parttime for the tourism office and parttime for the festival committee
chairman. James said the tourism
commission would pay that person
based on future revenue from the
festival.
Also, at the meeting, James
talked about giving businesses that
donate to the festival "true value for
their bucks."
"Conservatively, we're talking
about a 'Little Apple Festival' for
next year and we'll probably be
dealing with $30,000 (less than half
of the Apple Festival's budget).
Why would anyone want to contribute?"
James said the festival needs to
be advertised from January I
through the festival date in October,
1996. Promotions could be as sim-
pie as businesses including their
sponsorships of events on their stationery, or as complicated as holding special events, such as displaying a race car, at various times during the year to build anticipation for
the festival.
"We need to involve the community in the festival for the whole
year instead of for a three-day
event," James said.
Ann Latta, a member of the
Floyd
County Chamber of
Commerce, announced the chamber
had agreed to sponsor a Jenny
Wiley Pioneer Festival Golf
Tournament at Jenny Wiley State
Park during the festival.
"Everybody will have to use
wooden clubs," Latta joked.
James also announced that the
Prestonsburg Rotary Club ho_pes to
sponsor a Pancake Breakfast during
the festival.
During a discussion of festival
events, Helene Branham, a member
of the committee, said she had
already booked several gospel
groups to perform during the festival , even though the committee
members had not approved her
request to begin lining up performers.
In other business at the meeting:
• James suggested the committee
design a registered trademark;
• Committee members set goals,
including forming subcommittees
and recruiting volunteers to serve
on them, and agreed that will be
completed at next month's meeting;
and
• Blackburn agreed to formulate
an agenda for the next meeting
which will be held at 7 p.m. on
December 11 at Prestonsburg City
Hall.

911 trial
denied by
Knight
There will be no trial to determine whether collection of 911 fees
was illegal.
Special Judge James Knight
signed an order Monday denying
Floyd County Attorney Jim
Hammond's request for a trial.
Knight dismissed the lawsuit in
October when he ruled that the
county acted properly when it
approved a resolution to collect an
89-ccnt-per-month charge from
telephone customers to fund 911.
The resolution was approved in
1990.
Hammond, acting as county
attorney, sued the fiscal court earlier this year claiming the court
improperly adopted the ordinance.
Ham ·" nd said he will take the case
to the Court of Appeals.

Boduch is currently directing a
play entitled "Cemetery Club" to be
performed in April.

year.
That person bought a winning
$100,000 Powerball ticket at Vance
Quick Mart in Hi Hat for last
Wednesday's drawing.
"They have 180 days to come in,
Stacy Williams, a spokesman with
the Kentucky Lottery, said. "We
didn't anticipate they would be in
over the Thanksgiving holiday."
She said three people won
$100,000 in the drawing. Only one
has claimed her prize. Vivian Hare
of Henderson bought her ticket at
Hays Oil Co. in Henderson.
Someone also bought a winning
ticket at Short Stop Food Mart # 10
in Louisville. The winning numbers
are: 6, 10, 24, 31, and 43. No one
matched all five numbers and the
Powerball number 17.
Each of the retailers will receive
a $1,000 bonus check for selling
the wining tickets.

Your college degree is closer
than you think! Now KET telecourse students can earn an associate degree via distance learning in
Kentucky.
Kentucky
Educational
Television (KET) and the Kentucky
Telecommunications Consortium
(KTC) are pilot participants in
Going the Distance to enable busy,
working adults the chance to earn
an associate degree through distance learning telecourses and other
• technologies. Five community colleges in the University of Kentucky
Community
College
System
(UKCCS), a member of the consortium, are offering the Associate in
Arts degree via distance learning.
"Going the Distance is a collaborative educational effort involving
36 public television stations across
the nation that are partnering with
100 colleges and universities in 27
states, and the Public Broadcasting
Service (PBS)," explained Virginia
G. Fox, executive director of KET.
"KET and KTC have joined forces
lflj with PBS to broaden access to higher education in Kentucky. Going the
Distance allows students to earn
college credit and an associate
degree primarily through telecourses," Fox said. Going the Distance is
the first service under the umbrella
of PBS's new workforce-readiness
initiative, Ready to Earn.
Ben Carr, chancellor of the
UKCCS, stated that "The earnings
gap between college-educated p~o
ple and those without degrees is
growing wider each year, but not
is closer than you think
everyone can attend college the traditional way. Going the Distance
will offer college opportunities to
those who cannot come to campus
on a regular basis to take courses."
Surveys of telecourse students indicate distance learners may be geographically isolated, lacking transportation, working full or part-time,
disabled, elderly, institutionalized,
or homebound for some reason.
Five community colleges offering the Associate in Arts degree via
distance learning are Ashland
Community College, Madisonville
Community College, Paducah
Community College, Prestonsburg
Community College, and Southeast
Community College.
Telecourses make up 75 percent
of the 60 credit hours required to
complete the Associate in Arts
degree and offer convenience and
flexibility to students who cannot
attend classes on a regular basis.
Remaining credit hours may be
completed through other technologies such as computers, interactive
classrooms, satellite delivery, independent study, and traditional classrooms. Students may submit transcripts of previous work for evaluation in meeting degree requirements.
Since 1978, KET and Kentucky
colleges and universities participating in KTC have worked together
providing college credit telecourses
to adults in Kentucky and have
reported over 70,000 enrollments in
telecourses. Distance learning telecourses are as academically-
demanding as traditional classroom
courses, but offer the convenience
and flexibility essential for working
students who can't travel to campus
to attend classes. KET broadcasts
the telecourses which can be
viewed on home television sets or
recorded for later viewing. In addition to video programs, telecourses
include texts, student study guides
and, in some cases, a book of readings and computer software components. Faculty oversee each telecourse, determine course requirements, and evaluate student performance.
To receive information about
Going the Distance and a schedule
for the 1996 Spring Semester telecourses on KET, call (800) 4320970 or Prestonsburg Community
College at 886-3863, ext. 206.
Telecourses on KET are made
possible by the Kentucky Council
on Higher Education. Promotional
materials for Going the Distance
are supported in part by the
Anneberg/Corporation for Public
Broadcasting
(CPB) Higher
Education Project.

McKinney, who helped initiate
the special investigation into allegations of election fraud in Floyd

"None of the information we

"We gave them so much and

Jennings said that a man came
into his store last week and asked
to look at a ring to buy for his girlfriend for Christmas. The man
"p1cked out a big diamond ring"
and asked Jennings to size it, the
store owner said.
"I sized it and then he said he

said. "When I bent over to get the

The retail value of the ring was

An Auxier man is charged with
first degree criminal abuse after he
allegedly hit his girlfriend's twoyear-old son in the head.
Merlin Osborne, 20, is also
charged with fourth degree assault
for allegedly striking his girlfriend
during the same altercation.
Court records show that Sherry
Wyatt, 20, of Auxier, told police
that Osborne hit her son after the

says that the child had bruises and
red marks on his face and head.
Wyatt also told police that Osborne
hit her numerous times in the head.
The police report said that
Osborne told authorities that he was
drinking liquor at the time of the
alleged assault.
Osborne was placed under a
$10,000 or 10 percent bond by
Floyd Judge James Allen Monday
morning. The public defender's
office was appointed to represent

High school
round ball
to heat up
this week
The high school basketball
season officially got underway
this past Monday night with three
Floyd County girls' teams playing in the Pikeville Invitational
and the Betsy Layne Bobcats
opening at home against Morgan
County Tuesday night.
With the season set to get in
full swing this Friday night
(December I), there will be a lot
of tournament play now through
the end of December.
Floyd County no doubt will
have three of the top five teams in
the girls' region as Allen Central,
Betsy Layne and Prestonsburg
are solid ball clubs. But my nod
for number one in the region goes
to the Lady Pirates of Belfry.
Coach Cindy Stewart does a great
job with the Belfry team and
should have a fine cast this season.
Coach Phillip Wireman of
Johnson Central will not have the
strong club he has had the past
three or four seasons, but he will
put a competitive team on the
floor led by Robin Music, who
can do it all.
I like the Prestonsburg Lady
Blackcats as my number three
team. Coach Harold Tackett will
have a very deep bench and I feel
that is where the battles will be
won this year - off the bench.
My number four place goes to
Cassie Cooper and the Paintsville
Lady Tigers. I could have placed
them higher but they find a way
to stumble in the latter part of the
season.
FOOTNOTE HERE
The
fate
of
former
Prestonsburg standout Heather
Collins, playing for Paintsville
this season, should have been
decided on by this past Monday,
but there was no word by press
time. With Collins definitely in
the lineup, the Lady Tigers could
make a run for the regional championship.
Betsy Layne will again be a
regional contender and my number five choice. Coach Bill
Newsome will be without the tall
timber under the basket but
should have a quicker team this
time around. Much of the success
that this team will enjoy will be
decided by how much Rachael
Thompson and Crystal Gearheart
contribute consistently. We know
what Ashley Tackett, Penny
Tackett and Jessica Johnson can
do. The bench must come
through.
Allen Central number six. If it
wasn't for the disappearance of
Crystall Martin and a recovering
Natilie CoQley, I would have
placed Bonita Compton's Allen
Central Lady Rebels right in one
of the top three spots. While they
may not be there in the preseason,
look for them there before the
season ends.
Amanda Samons is the best
big girl around the region. But
she is going to have some help
from returning players like Missy
Scott and Shauna Moore.
Newcomers Jalenda Howard,
Jennifer Hopkins and Janice
Thornsbury may have to grow
quick and lend a helping hand.
But watch this team in February.
Gone are Pam Pinson and
Claudette Gillispie from the Pike
Central Lady Hawks, but I think
they have enough players coming
back to be ranked seventh in the
region. The Lady Hawks had a
long bench last year, something
some teams did not have. It will
pay off for them this season.
Millard gets my number eight
spot and I think the Lady
Mustangs will surprise some people this year even after losing
their outstanding guard in Angie

In frosh tourney :
Prestonsburg wins, Betsy Layne falls

Tournaments, tournaments and
more tournaments.
For the fourth straight week, basketball tournaments have highlighted the sports scene in Floyd County
and the freshmen are getting in on
the act this week.
The first annual freshmen basketball tournament got underway at
the Prestonsburg Fieldhouse this
past Monday night as first round
action took place.
Prestonsburg's frosh pulled out a
55-29 win over Pike Central, but.the
Betsy Layne Bobcats fell hard to
Johnson Central freshmen, 42-26,
in the first round.
Joe Campbell scored a gamehigh 20 points to lead Prestonsburg
to victory. Campbell demonstrated
a strong touch from beyond the
three-point circle by burying three
three-point baskets.
John Ortega and Nathan Leslie
tossed in seven each while Jason
Keathley and Kalen Harris scored
six each. Kyle Cordial and John
Thacker led Pike Central with four
each.
Campbell scored eight of his 20
points in the first quarter to lead the
Blackcats to a 20-4 fi rst-quarter
lead. Campbell hit a three-pointer
on his second basket of the quarter.
Ortega, Keathley and Harris each
scored fou r points in the period.
Tyler Mullins' three-pointer for
Pike Central and a basket by
Thacker allowed the Hawks to pull
to within II points of the Blackcats
early in the second period, but a
Campbell-led attack netted the
Blackcats a 29- I 1 halftime lead.
Campbell hi t his second trey of the
game in scoring seven of his team's
nine second-quarter points. Harris
had the other two.
Prestonsburg took a 22-poi nt
lead after three quarters with a more
balanced attack. Ortega completed
a three-point play and Campbell got
his third trey, while Keathley and
Russ Music scored two points i~ the
third quarter.
In the fourth period, Coach
Bobby Hackworth went to his
bench. Adam Hall scored five
points in the fourth stanza on a field
goal and a three-point basket.
Nathan Leslie showed some good
moves finishing with seven points,
all in the fourth quarter. He was perfect from the free throw line, hitting
three-of-three. Davtd Ousley scored
two points in the final quarter.
Pike Central hit ten · of 19 free
throw attempts while Prestonsburg
could only manage five of 16 from
the charity stripe. Mullins had the
lone three-pointer for Pike Central.
Prestonsburg will play in the
semifinals on Wednesday night.
In the second game of the
evening, coach Duran Newsome's
Bobcats found Johnson Central
quick and ready to play.
Tommy Taulbee scored II points
as the only double figure scorer for
Betsy Layne. Jonathan Triplett
added five points. Jacob Carroll and

Layne scores 22 as Lady Blackcats

Strong move
South Floyd's Jenny Meade (23) went to the basket against Pikeville Monday night in the opening game of
the Pikeville Lady Panthers Invitational basketball tournament. Meade scored six points in the game, but
the Lady Raiders fell hard to the Lady Panthers 44-29. The two teams will tip off again this coming Monday
night at South Floyd. (photo by Ed Taylor)
Prestonsburg girls' coach Harold
Tackett said before game time that
the Magoffin County Lady Hornets
were not to be taken lightly this
season and it proved to be true as
his Prestonsburg Lady Blackcats
had to stage a second half ambush
to pull out a 69-45 decision in the
opening round of the Pikeville
Lady Panther Invitational at
Pikeville Monday night.
Crystal Layne and Shelly
Greathouse combined for 37 points
to lead Prestonsburg to its initial
win of the season. Layne finished
with 22 points and Greathouse
tossed in 15. April Newsome
scored in double figures with 12
poi nts.
Layne took charge of the
Prestonsburg offense in the second
half and scored seven straight
points to bust the game open as the
Lady Blackcats forged in front 4228 with less than three minutes to
play in the third period.
Prestonsburg's pressure defense
in the second half took Magoffin
County out of its game plan and
forced the Lady Hornets into some
ill-advised shots. But it wasn't so in
the first half. The Lady Hornets
solved the pressure defense in the
fi rst half and stayed close to
Prestonsburg.
"Where we played Magoffin
County last year, they watched
some game film and saw our
defense," Tackett said. "In the fi rst
half, they were doing an excellent
job of breaking our pressure."
The Prestonsburg coach said it
was just a matter of waiting till
halftime to make the changes.
"I knew if I just waited until the
second half and we could change
some things and hope they couldn't
adjust to it. Offensively, we were
getting great soots."
The Lady Hornets, a much
improved basketball program than
from the past, is a pesky-type team
that just refuses to go away. They
appear to be a well-coached squad
and will make trouble for some
teams this season.
Magoffin County fell behind 122 after the first quarter as they
could only muster a field goal by
Nicky Gibson in the first stanza.
Prestonsburg JUmped out to a 6-0
lead behind the scoring of
Newsome. Newsome scored the
first four points of the game and
completed a three-point play with
seven seconds Jeff in the first period.
Prestonsburg appeared to be
passing the ball more than looking
for the shot and the passive game
seemed to lull into never-never

Cold free throw shooting haunts
South Floyd Lady Raiders, 44-29
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The high school basketball season kicked off Monday night as the
annual Pikeville Lady Panthers
Invitational Basketball Tournament
got things underway and it was evident that the practice was short and
the season could be long.
The way the South Floyd Lady
Raiders and Pikeville Lady
Panthers performed in the opening
game, you could tell that more practice time is needed as South Floyd
hit only nine of 33 free throws in
dropping a 44-29 decision to the
Lady Panthers in the first game of
the PIT.
Charity Burke scored 16 points
to lead the Lady Panthers and
Sunny Phillips added eight.
Crystal Tackett had nine points
to lead South Floyd. Tiffany
Compton, who was in foul trouble
early, finished with seven points
before fouling out.
Pikeville got second and third
shots against the Lady Raiders as
they faiied to block out of the
boards. Taking care of the basketball proved to be a problem for
them as well. The Lady Raiders
committed 24 turnovers in the game
and Pikeville had its woes as well
with 19 turnovers.
For new head coach Henry
Webb, it was a frustrating night.
"You should see us in practice,"
he said, concerning the free 'throw
shooting. "We hit good in practice.
We block out well in practice. But
in game situations we just don't
execute. We preach it."
The Lady Raiders held only one
lead in the game which came in the
opening seconds. Jenny Meade hit
the back side of a two-shot foul to
give South Floyd a 1-0 lead.
Pikeville went on a 9-1 run that net-
te·d them a 9-2 lead and they led 115 at the first stop.
"We j ust didn' t take good care of

Elliott, Johnson combine to
lead Osborne past McDowell
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Color them 3-2 on the season.
The Osborne Eagles did not get
their 1995-96 basketball season off
to a very good start when they
dropped their first two games of the
season to Melvin and then Johnson
County.
But it would be hard to convince
coach Roger Johnson that the early
loses have done nothing but made
his team better after they won their
third game in a row and the championship of the South Floyd First
Annual
Prep
Classic
last
Wednesday night. The Eagles
slipped past a good McDowell team
in the finals, 54-49, in a comefrom-behind effort.
"I still say it is the best thing to
happen to us," Johnson said of losing his first two games. "It has
caused the kids to wake up. We
played well against McDowell.
They played us tough."
Dale Elliott and Jared Johnson
combmed for 39 points for
Osborne. Elliott led all scorers with
20 points and Johnson added 19.
Elliott hit four three-point baskets
in the game.
The real story could have been
on the defensive end for Osborne,
especially in the fou rth quarter.
Osborne point guard B.J. Bryant
had the chore of guarding Ryan
Shannon, McDowell's deadly leftbander. Shannon was held to only
15 points by Bryant, well be low his
season average of 26.
"B.J. did a real good job on
Shannon," Johnson said. "We did
play mostly a match up zone, but
every time Shannon got the ball,
B.J. was there on him."
McDowell held a fou r-poi nt
lead, 34-30, heading into the final
quarter. But the inside game of
Nick Moore was cut off by the
Eagles as they began to soar.
"We went to the boards better in
the fourth quarter," Johnson said.
"We started blocking o ut better.
Our de fense picked up as well and
we stopped the Moore kid. He was
killing underneath.
"McDowell started quick o n us
in the first quarter and we opened
very flat. But you have to give credit to Mc Dowell's defense in our
opening flat."
McDowell led 11-6 after the first
quarter on the shooting of Shannon
and inside play of Moore. Moore
finished with 12 points in the game
for the Daredevils, but was shut out

WATCH OUT FOR DEER
Nearly 4,000 deer-vehicle accidents were reported in Kentucky
last year. Many of these accidents
occurred during deer mating season
(late October through November)
because the drive to mate, rather
than common sense, dictates deer
behavior during this time. Deer rut
is now peaking in Kentucky, so drivers beware. The deer's lack of caution right now increases the risk of
deer-vehicle accidents.
Here are some tips to help
reduce the chances of having a
deer-vehicle accident:
• Slow down and watch for deer
when driving through a wooded
area or where deer crossing signs
are posted.
Drive cautiously during
evening and early morning hours
when deer are actively seeking food
and shelter.
• Upon sighting a deer, slow
down immediately if you can do so
without causing an accident. Deer
rarely travel alone, so it's very likely that more deer are nearby.
• Flash you lights or sound your
horn to prod a deer to move out of
the middle of the road or to discourage one from stepping into the road.
Even after taking these precautions, its sometimes impossible to
avoid an accident. Deer-vehicle
accidents usually occur when a deer
runs into the side of a moving vehicle or leaps out in front of a vehicle.
If this happens and you cannot stop
safely, slow down. Do not swerve
wildly to try to avoid the animal. If
you swerve, you may lose control
of your vehicle, and more than your
vehicle may end up damaged.
If you are involved in a deervehicle accident, contact a local law
enforcement official or the local
conservation officer, or call the
Kentucky Department of Fish and
Wildlife Resources Division ofLaw
Enforcement, (502) 564-3176. The
report will help the state's deer program coordinator keep track of such
deaths and better plan deer management. The number of deer related
car accidents is used as a basis for
deciding whether deer hunting season should be liberalized in a specific area to help keep the potential
of deer-vehicle collisions to a minimum.

controversial figures in Winston
Cup racing. During his 40 years in
the sport, Johnson won 50 races as
a driver, and a highly impressive
139 victories as an owner. The likes
of Cale Yarborough, Darrell
Waltrip, Neil Bonnett, and Bill
Elliott have all piloted Junior
Johnson-prepared cars.
But perhaps more importantly,
MEMORIES OF MEETING
JIMMY JOHNSON
I was as nervous as a cat on a hot
tin roof. After all, I had never actually met a genuine NASCAR personality before, but I was soon to
get my chance. It was the first time
I had ever been turned loose on pit
road, and as you can well imagine,
the adrenaline was rushing through
my veins quicker than a lap at
Bristol.
Then it happened. The first
NASCAR personality I bumped
into was none other than the legeendary Junior Johnson. Good ol'
Junior, that's what like to call him.
There he was, the familiar position
with his foot propped up on pit
wall, a stopwatch in one hand, and
an ice cream cone the size of Texas
in the other.
I immediately humbled myself
'lS if I were speaking to the Pope,
and said, "Mr. Johnson, could I
please have your a11to<;raph." "Why
sure buddy. Hold my ice cream, but
don't eat any of it (as if I would),"
Johnson said. Then he proceeded to
talk with me.
Naturally, I stuttered my way
through a brief conversationwith
one of the most notable figures int
he world of motor sports. That day,
good ol' Junior talked to me as It he
had known me forever and I appreciated him for that.
Since then, the years have come,
and the years have gone. However,
I have never forgotten my initial
encounter with good ol' Junior. And
all across the country, there arc
many who can recall their memories of the chubby guy from
Wilkesboro.
It is genuinely hard for me to
believe that Junior Johnson is leaving the sport that he helped bring to
its present level of enormous popularity. However, it is true. Johnson
has sold both of his Winston Cup
operations. He has traded in his
radio for a go 'round at family life.
For years, Johnson has been one
of the most colorful and sometimes
Johnson is one of the primary figures that helped forge this great
sport we all love so well. For example, you can credit Junior Johnson
with bringing R.J. Reynolds and
Winston into the NASCAR arena.
He approached the company about
sponsoring his race team in the
early 1970s. And with Johnson's
introduction, the company came
aboard as the series sponsor. You
can also credit him as one of the
primary catalysts that helped Ralpy
Seagraves sell the idea of The
Winston Select and The Winston
Million to the R.J. Reynolds company.
The list of Johnson contributions
would easily take up the entire
sports page. His name can easily be
spoken in the same breath with the
likes of William "Big Bill" France
Sr. and Richard Petty for those who
have contributed the most to the
sport.

But Junior is ready to move on.
Believe it or not, the 64-year-old
Johnson has two kids, one two
years old, and another just 16
weeks. He is ready to write another
chapter in his storied life.
Perhaps Junior summed it up
best when he said, "I've got, basically, what I've wanted for a long,
long time. At the end of my racing
career, I've got two healthy little
kids, my wife, a good family, and a
new home. It'll be a pleasure to finish up my career with them, and
that's what I want."
Thanks Junior! You're a jewel!
Good luck and Godspeed!

Rodney Bentley scored 14
points and Leslie Slone added II as
the Duff Bulldogs defeated the
Melvin Cougars 54-43 in grade
school basketball play Tuesday
night at the Patton Arena.
Game scoring honors, however,
went to Melvin's Charlie Williams
w.ith 22 points. But Williams got little help as the next scorer was
James Slone with five points.
The Bulldogs trailed the
Cougars 13-8 after the first quarter
with the Melvin attack being balanced in the first period. Williams
had five points including a threepoint basket.
Duff came back in the second
quarter and made it a one-point
game, 27-26, at the half. Slone
scored seven points in the second
stanza for Duff and Ryan Manns
had a three-point basket. Williams
led Melvin with his second threepointer and nine points in the quarter.
Duff took a one point, 36-35,
lead after the third quarter and
outscored the Cougars 18-8 in the
final quarter to win by 11.
Williams finished with four
three-pointers in the game.
Bentley didn't get involved in
the Duff offense until the second
half when he scored ten of his 14
points. Shawn Henson carried the
Bulldogs in the first half with six
points and he finished with seven
for the game, playing in foul trouble
for most of the game.
Brent Slone scored eight points
in the game for Duff. Rodney Scott
finished with six and Ryan Manns
four.
Rusty Tackett and Dusty Tackett
scored three apiece for Melvin.
Matt Tackett finished with four.
Jason Jones, P.J. Cox and Patrick
Hall had two each.

SOME FISHING DECISIONS
AREN'T ALWAYS
EASY TO MAKE
The bass aren't biting. Should
you stay and keep hoping, _or move
to another spot?
"It's not an easy decision to
make," says Charlie Reed, winner
of the 1986 Bass Masters Classic
and a member of the Johnson
Outboards Pro Staff. "A lot of times
you just don't know whether to
change locations or not.
"Not only is it a hard decision to
make, it's usually one of the most
important decisions an angler has to
make, and it can easily determine
whether you win or lose the tournament."
Reed says there are no firm
guidelines on choosing when to
stay or leave. Experience plays a
major part, but so do existing conditions. ·
"If I know bass are present, or at
least if I really have a strong feeling
they're there, I'll stay," he says. "A
lot of times, it depends on wrat I
have to go to ifl do leave. If I don ' t
have anything particularly good, I'll
probably stay in a spot longer than
normal, but if I think I have a good
• place to try, I'll move."
Reed enjoys fishing deeper
structure, and when he can he tries
to sec bass on his depthfindcr. This
sometimes determines how long he
stays in the area.
"Often you can tell if bass arc
going to bite by the way they position themselves on structure," notes
the Johnson pro. "For example, if I
see bass suspended in open water
and not necessarily close to any
type of cover, I know those fish are

The Floyd County Times
--------~~------~~~--------------------------------------~~--~---------------------------------------------------------------- ·
By Floyd County Coaches Association :
23 named to all-conference team
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The Betsy Layne Bobcats and Prestonsburg
Blackcats placed 15 players each on the first
Floyd County Coaches Association AllConference football squad named this past
week.
Allen Central placed 12 players on the roster while South Floyd named II.
Eleven players were named to the first team
All-Offensive team, while 11 made the first
team All-Defensive squad. A second team was
picked by the Floyd County coaches as well.
Both Betsy Layne and Prestonsburg placed
seven players on the first team, but it was
Allen Central who headed the list here with
eight players. The Raiders placed five on the
first teams.
OFFENSIVE FIRST TEAM
Named to the offensive first team was Allen
Central
quarterback
Adam Coleman, a senior,
who finished tenth in the
state in passing this season with more than I ,800
yards. Coleman played
most of the season with
vision problems, but still
averaged just more than
180 yards passing per GORDON REEVES
game.
The back field on the
first team would be a
dream team in itself.
Prestonsburg's
John
Morris, a junior, who had
a strong finish this past
season, has been a standout in the backfield for
the Blackcats since his
JOHN LYONS
freshman season. Morris
rushed for more than 900
yards this year.
The county's leading
scorer and top rusher, Allen
Central's Beau Tackett,
drew the praise and the
attention of the opposition
when he took to the gridiron.
Tackett rushed for close to
1,CXXJ yards this year. His
quickness allowed him to RUSTY YOUNG
get on the outside where he
picked up some valuable
real estate for Allen Central.
He was one of the top
receivers in the county as
well.
South Floyd's Ketran ·J
'ni'l!l""T!!i ii!H'!i:~;·I 'I''''Hii!!i
Mays no doubt is the fastest J .:'!',. . ,,,,H .·, l!i;m'
of the back field He rushed
for more than 800 yards this PHILLIP ROBINSON
year and is just a sophomore. Mays is quick up the
middle and was trouble once
he got to the outside. He was
a solid receiver as well.
Named to the offensive line were: Chris L.
Bailey, Allen Central;
Pete Dawson, South
Floyd; Ricky Johnson,
ANDREE FAINE
Prestonsburg; Stewart
Hall, Betsy Layne and
Ernest Campbell of
Prestonsburg.
Bailey was one of the
leading blockers for Allen
Central and Dawson had a
very consistent season for , ; ,
the Raiders. Johnson,
although injured, played
as hard as anyone off the
Blackcats line. Hall led
the Bobcats' line and
Campbell was always
involved in the scheme of
things for Prestonsburg.
Allen
Central's
Thomas Jenkins and
Aaron Hall of South
Floyd were the two
receivers named to the
first teatn. Jenkins was
the top receiver in the
county for Allen Central.
His quickness and leaping ability made him a
favorite
target
of
Coleman.
Hall was "Mr. Versatile"
for South Floyd. He played
as hard at all positions as he
did at just one. Hall is a
gocx:l receiver with a great
attitude.
Prestonsburg center
Rusty Young led the
defensive
linemen.
Young, a senior, was a
hard worker on the line
and a big part of the
Blackcats' defense as
.well.
No player came on as
strong as Allen Central's
defensive lineman Phillip
Robinson.
Robinson
absolutely had an outstanding season and was
one of the more underrated players in the area. A
solid performer.
Andree Faine, a
junior, of South Floyd
made the Raiders' front
line a strong unit that got
the Raiders off to a quick
start in the '95 season.
John Lyons, senior,
defensive end, was one of
the top defensive players
in the county this past season and seemed to be
involved in almost every
tackle on the field.
Gordon Reeves, the other
defensive end, had a solid
season for the Rebels and
is just a sophomore.
The three linebacker
slots were filled with hard
hitters. Jarred Newsome
was second in the county in
tackles made as he lead the
defense for the Bobcats. A
nose for the football,
Newsome caused havoc
for opposing quarterbacks.
Levi Wells of Allen Central
completed his final season
for the Rebels and no one
hit as hard as Wells.
Sometimes he got carried
away too much.
Prestonsburg's Waylon
Bevins, a senior, has been
a steady, consistent player
at the linebacker slot for
the Blackcats over the
past three seasons. Good
hard nose players that didn't mind playing hurt.
Craig
Hamilton,
Betsy Layne, Terrence
JARRED NEWSOME
JON MORRIS
ADAM COLEMAN
WILLIE MEADE
CRAIG CRASE
T.MULLINS
CRAIG HAMILTON

A coach could not
nominate or vote for players from his own team.
Players were nominated
by the opposition and
could only vote for a
player from another team.
The coaches association also voted to hold
the first county gridiron THOMAS JENKINS
classic
(grid-o-rama)
that will involve all four
county teams. Four outside teams will be invited
to face each of the county teams. The grid will be
held a week before the
regular season begins
and will be played at the
Prestonsburg stadium.

the basketball," Webb said. "I still
believe this team will get better as
the season goes on. We' 11 win some
ball games."
It was a night of miscues for South
Aoyd as they were guilty of losing the
basketball three times on wide qx:n, nodefense-in-front breakouts.
In the second period South Floyd
did not score a field goal until 34 seconds remained in the half and that
came when Crystal Tackett hit a long
jumper to make it a 22-10 game. The
Lady Raiders, who got in the two-
free-throw situation early (ten team
fouls, two shots), but could not convert. The Left Beaver team wentto the
foul line 12 times in the second quarter alone and hit only one charity toss.
They hit three of 12 attempts in the
first quarter. Pikeville held a 23-12
halftime lead.
While all appeared to be gloom
for South Floyd, there was a bright
spot in the fact they did not quit.
The Lady Raiders made a run at the
Lady Panthers and closed the margin to eight points, 30-22.
Pikeville owned a 15-point edge,
30-15, when South Floyd, pressuring
the ball, scored seven unanswered
points. A free throw by Compton at
the 1:42 mark started the spurt.
Crystal Tackett scored on a layup off a
steal, Meade hit a 14-foot jumper and
Compton took a Crissy Tackett lop for
an easy basket inside.
South Floyd stayed close at nine
points, but the Lady Panthers got a threepoint basket from Kristy Hall en route to
a 9-4 run that put the game away.
Hall finished with five points for
Pikeville. Connie Mullins, Christy
Compton and Samantha Narra
scored four each. Alena Simmons
scored three points.
Meade scored six points for the
Lady Raiders while Chrissy Tackett
added three. Deana Holbrook and
Tina Newman had two points each.
Pikeville ( 1-0) will face
Prestonsburg in the semifinal round
Thursday night at 6 p.m. South
Floyd (O-J) will wait until Monday
to return to the hardwood and host
the Lady Panthers at Raider Arena.

carry the Millard hopes.
Number nine and ten arc close. The region starts to drop off after the
eighth spot. Pikeville will be my number nine choice while Shelby
Valley gets the tenth spot.
My sleeper: Phelps Lady Hornets. Team to look out for: Sheldon
Clark. They arc young but Robin is back at the helm.
PAINTSVILLE SOLID FIRST?
Ask some of the fans around the region that took in the panorama's
and they are not so quick concede first place in the region to Bill Mike
Runyon and the Paintsville Tigers. A short bench IS what I am hearing
and only four players able to consistently score.
But I still think they are the number one boys' team in the region and
it is going to take a very good team to beat them. Craig Ratliff is one of
the better players around the state and it will be his leadership that makes
the Tigers go. J.R. Vanhoose, can he get any better?
Coach Raymond Justice will have his team back in the regional limelight after four years of hidtng. The Belfry Pirates are my solid number
two pick in the region. This will be a high scoring ball club, but again the
bench could be just a bit short.
It has been a long time since the Prestonsburg Blackcats have been
ranked so high and they will go third in my personal poll this week.
Coach Jackie Pack will have the Blackcats running and playing the
uptempo game. Blackcats third.
Really, after the top three teams, the region is wide open. Coach
Randy McCoy will dress a strong team at Elkhorn City this year. The
"real McCoy's" will emerge and without one star to lead them. This will
be the club that will go seven or eight deep off the bench. Remember,
that this is where it will be won this year. Elkhorn City number four.
Five goes to Dave Thomas and the Pikeville Panthers. Doug Powers
is to Pikeville what Vanhoose is to Paintsville. If the Panthers had the
guard play, they could be close to Paintsville. Pikeville is number five.
It gets tough from here. Number six could go to a number of teams,
but this week, and maybe this week only, the Betsy Layne Bobcats gets
that spot. Coach Junior Newsome's club looked good in the preseason
games. They are going to even get better. The Bobcats sixth.
Close though is the Allen Central Rebels at number seven. I still
believe in coach Johnny Martin and have to think that he will mold a
competitive team from the players that are returning. One has to think of
the ones that got away that could have played for the Rebels this season.
A big load will weigh heavily on the shoulders of junior Thomas
Jenkins. I don't know if they are broad enough or not, but he is a solid
top player in the state. But some help must come from Jason Baker and
Todd Howard. I understand that Corey Patton may make a return this
year. Rebels number seven.
Eighth place goes to the Pike County Central Hawks. This team will
surprise some fans this year despite heavy losses from last year.
South Floyd makes up the ninth spot and this may be ranking them
too low. They could very well be a sixth- or seventh-place team. But they
will have to earn it because the basketball wars are going to be rough this
year. I like the Raiders and look for them to make some noise in the
regiOn.
Finally, I have always liked the Danny Adams-coached team at
Magoffin County. They have some horses coming back and here is
another team that probably will play much better than what I am giving
them credit for. I know they finished second to Paintsville in the regional tournament last year, but they will have be more consistent during the
regular season to get ranked higher. The regional isn't until March.
The fun and thrills get underway this Friday night as most teams
swing into action. Let me encourage you to go out and support the county teams. Show good sportsmanship and just have fun. Remember.
Referee's are human.
GRADE SCHOOL COACHES
With the high school season on the horizon, I still would like to have
scores faxed or called in to me of all grade school games. The easiest
way is to make a copy of score sheets and fax them to me at 886-3603.
I will see they are printed in the sports section. I will still be making
some rounds of the grade school games to get pictures, but I will more
than ever be dependent on you for game scores and stats. Help me out,
please.
Until Friday, good sports everyone and be good sports!

basically inactive, but if I see bass
holding close to cove~ like trees or

stumps, I know those bass will
bite."
Reed prefers to use one of the
older paper chart recorders when
he's studying deep water structure
because it shows him bass movement, which in turn, also tells him
whether the fish are likely to hit
lures.
"The first thing I look for on the
recorder are baitfish," he explains,
"because they show up as large
schools and are easy to identify.
Once I find them, I start looking for
bass below them, and then I look
for streaks.
"Streaks on a paper graph show
up as straight lines, which mean the
bass are moving and feeding on the
baitfish. If I see streaks, I know I
am looking at' active fish that I can
catch with a jigging spoon or a plastic grub."
It is seeing activity like this that
helps Reed decide whether to continue fishing or to leave for a new
area. In shallow water where such
baitfish activity does not show up,
Reed says an angler simply has to
rely on past experience.
"Changing lures, trying different
retrieve speeds, even approaching
cover from a different angle are all
worth trying," he says, "but unfortunately, there is no distinct rule
you can use that will tell you
whether to stay or leave.
"I wish there were, because I
could sure use it at times," he says.

in the fourth quarter.
"That was big key in the fourth
quarter, stopping Moore," Johnson
said. "Dale hit two big three-point
baskets for us as well in the fourth."
Bryant finished with seven
points for Osborne. James Walker
added six, but played a strong
defensive game, according to his
coach.
"I would like to get more scoring
out of James," Johnson said, "like
ten to 15 points per game. He's
capable of doing it. But he plays
hard on defense and is a good
rebounder for us. His scoring will
come along.
"McDowell's defense just took
us out of our game plan. In the first
half we just didn't go to the boards
well at all," he said.
McDowell led 22-17 at the half.
Shannon's 15 points led
McDowell. Moore had 12 and
Jimmy Stumbo added eight. Kyle
Tackett netted five points and the
three points by Zack Layne didn't
help the Daredevil's offense. Layne
is one of the top scorers in the county and is a threat from the circle.
Byron Hall had four points while
John Meade finished with two.

Hunting safety
Beware of disease
from wild animals
•
~
Hunting season brings to many
of us memories of tragedies that
should not have happened, but did
- usually, but not always, involving firearms.
But you should also be aware of
some dangers of disease from wild
animals.
Three diseases of which hunters
should be particularly aware are
tularemia, rabies, and Lyme disease. All are zoonoses (diseases
which can be transmitted from animals to humans) and all are reported with enough frequency to be
important, though rabies is by far
the most dangerous.
Tularemia is a bacterial septicemia primarily of wild rodents
and Iagomorphs, but which is readily transmitted to most animals
including man both directly and
indirectly. Primary hosts are cottontail and jack rabbits, beaver,
muskrat, meadow moles and sheep.
It is a classic zoonosis and can
be transmitted either by droplets in
the air, direct contact, ingestion or
by an intermediate carrier such as
ticks. Hunters arc among persons
regarded as being at high risk.
Tularemia is treatable by several
antibiotics, however treatment can
be expensive and can be prolonged.
Recovery produces a long-lasting immunity and vaccines are
available. Unlike tularemia, rabies
is not treatable in either animals or
humans once symptoms have
appeared.
It is a viral disease of the central
nervous system, spread in the saliva of the infected animal and usually through a bite.
Contrary to what seems to be a
popular notion, rabies is not a
warm-weather disease and not all
animals show similar signs of the
disease.
Because the primary reservOir of
the disease in Kentucky is skunks
and raccoons, and sometimes bats,
it is important to think of your hunting dogs as well as yourself.
Vaccinated dogs will neither
contract rabies, if bitten by a wild
animal, nor will they carry it to others. Vaccination of dogs and cats is
the primary barrier of protection
between human and animals.
Humans have to be more careful,
as there is no commonly available
vaccine.
Lyme disease is spread by the
deer trick and is becoming more
prevalent in Kentucky. It affects
both humans and animals. In
humans, it causes general malaise
and fatigue, chills, fever, headache,
sometimes a still neck, and may
progress to chronic arthritis. In animals it causes arthritis.
Treatment can be prolonged and
expensive, especially for humans.
Repellents will usually protect
animals and humans as well. Wear
long-sleeved shirts and long
trousers, both light colored, so you
can see the ticks, and tuck your
trousers into the top of your socks
when hunting in tick-infested areas.
Your veterinarian can advise you
on the instances of these diseases in
your area and give you an idea of
how much risk you may be running
when you go hunting. He or she can
also give you tips on how to recognize possibly diseased animals and
what first aid to use if exposed.
land. While they were resting,
Magoffin County was serious. The
Lady Hornets stung hard as they
fought back into the game with an
I I -2 spun that closed the margin to
one point, 14- 13 with 4:50 to play
in the first half.
The Prestonsburg coach wants
his players to look for the extra
pass.
"When you get into a game situation you have a tendency to pass
too much," he said. "Sometimes we
did pass up an open shot, but what
they were doing was what they
were told, look for the extra pass.
Now, we'll get to the point, I hope,
as soon as we see that we're wide
open, boom, we' ll take it.
"You can overpass a little bit,
but I was pleased with the penetration we had off the dribble. We had
kids looking to score and that is
what I want," he said.
Magoffin County hung around
with the Lady Blackcats until a
three-point basket by Layne off a
super assist by Newsome, made it a
23-17 game. Kimi Nunnery, who
played a strong game off the bench,
hit a six-foot jumper to give
Prestonsburg a 27-20 halftime lead.
Newsome opened the third period for Prestonsburg with a long
three-point basket. At the 6:07
mark Greathouse buried a three and
Amber Leslie, off a strong drive to
the basket, scored to send
Prestonsburg to a nine-point, 3526, lead with just more than five
minutes to play.
"Amber just keeps improving,"
Tackett said. "She is improving
every day. I'm tickled to death she
is a Blackcat."
Jenell Owens scored underneath
to pull the Lady Hornets as close as
they would come the rest of the
way, 35-28, because Layne scored
seven straight and the Lady
Blackcats outscored, Magoffin
County 16-2 to close out the third
period at 51-30.
Greathouse was in charge at the
point guard slot feeding off to
Layne for a nice ten-foot jumper.
She then fed Layne for a wide open
trey. She picked the pocket of
Nickie Reed and went solo for the
layup that gave Prestonsburg the
21-point edge.
The Lady Blackcats' biggest
lead came at 27 points, 57-30,
when Prestonsburg scored the first
six points of the fourth period with
Layne and Greathouse combining
for some good team effort. Layne,
on a drive to the basket, gave the
ball up and Greathouse laid it in.
Leigh Ann Perkins was very
impressive off the bench for
Magoffin County in the fourth
quarter. She scored six consecutive
points and finished the game with
15. Rebecca Howard showed some
good moves in the final stanza
scoring six points off the bench.
Ladonna Slone, who had only
six points for Prestonsburg, played
a good defensive game underneath.
"Ladonna goes 900 miles an
hour and she doesn ' t slow down,"
Tackett said. "We have to keep her
out of foul trouble. Her shot wasn't
falling tonight and she tends to get
down on herself. We tell her to
make it up on defense."
Crystal Slone entered the game
and played strong on the boards
Wednesday, November 2Y,
pulling down four rebounds.
"Crystal does what we ask her to
do," the Prestonsburg coach said.
"We ask her to go in and give 110
percent for five to six minutes, get
some steals and learn the system
slowly. She's doing that."
Prestonsburg 's final basket
came as the final seconds ticked off
and Jenna Fannin, who is recovering from an injury, buried a threepointer for the final 69-45 count.
Jessi Burke had four rebounds for
Prestonsburg. Leslie pulled in three.
Layne had four assists in the game
and Greathouse dished off three.
Perkins led Magoffin County 's
scoring with 15 points. Owens fi nished with nine and Gibson had
eight. Rebecca Howard tossed in
six with Montgomery scoring
three. Kelli Dotson and Reed each
scored two points.
"She wasn't suppose to be playing tonight," Tackett said.
Prestonsburg (1-0) will face
Pikeville in the semifinals tomorrow night (Thursday) in a 6 p.m. tip
off.

(STILL) NUMBER ONE,
KENTUCKY'S SPOTIY
START LEAVES POLL
VOTERS UNDAUNTED
All those who were surprised
that Kentucky played little more
than ten quality minutes against
Maryland in the Wildcats' season
opener, please raise your hands.
College coaches who vote on the
CNN!USA Today poll, didn't seem
to mind voting UK number one
again this week.
There is a razor-thin line in the
1990s between order! y fast-break
and
helter-skelter.
basketball
Kentucky played on the left side for
only the first 10-12 minutes of the
second half against the Terrapins.
But the defense, when and how it
was applied and the net effect on
Maryland, was college basketball at
its best. Wildcat fans are going to
enjoy watching their team turn up
the heat on opponents this season.
All things cons1dered, Rick
Pitino's team demonstrated it can
become very good and will certainly guarantee its adoring legions of
fans a surprise every night. To wit:
• Among the glittering stars,
Mark Pope stepped up for 26 points
and MVP in the Tip-Off Classic.
• Tony Delk took a donut for the
first half, but finished the game
with 21 points.
• Whether you love Delk at point
guard, like Wayne Tuner's future,
Anthony Epps is still the team's
best playmaker.
• How many times will veterans
Walter McCarty and Jared Prickett
contribute two and seven points and
UK still win by a dozen?
• Artful dodger Pitino spread
playing time nicely - ten of Il players used logged double-digit minutes. All 11 scored.
• 24. Important number. UK
forced Maryland into that many
turnovers while the Wildcats were
cred1tcd with a like number of
assists.
DROP STEPS 'N' THINGS
How long will Pitino's Kentucky
team keep it's number one ranking?
As long as it takes you to purchase
or receive in the mail your
November 27 issue of Sports
Illustrated and/or The Sporting
News. Kansas is number one in
both.
No matter. America's best slick
magazine was in retreat before the
ink was dry Number three UCLA
had lost twice; number II
Michigan, number 12 Maryland,
number 16 Georgia Tech, number
20 Arkansas once each and Arizona
was not ranked.
We will not attach the word parity to the 1995-96 season .... Yes we
will. Who's number one? Don't
invest more than five minutes
examining a poll until New Year's
eve.
• Louisville, on the threshold of
an impressive season launch, and
owner of a 22-point lead against
Auburn, fizzled in San Juan.
• Rick Pitino two weeks ago:
"We could play excellent basketball
and start out two-and-two. I don't
pay any attention to the hype."
• Rick Pitino last week: "I think
people like Dick (Vitale), who are
well respected, are hyping us. And
others tune in and listen."
• The real deal. Question is not
whether Stephan Marbury is, but
how long can Georgia Tech keep
him from an agent's clutches.
• To UCLA's Jim Harrick:
Vanderbilt?
• Arizona? Mentioned nowhere
in SI's Top 20, is number four this
week.
• Endorsement supreme: "Derek
Anderson has charisma. He knows
what's happening all over the court.
Music scores 24 as Allen
rolls past Harold, 48-31
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Ramanda Music scored half of
her team's 48 points as the Allen
Lady Eagles steam rolled their way
past the Harold Lady Devils last
Wednesday night en route to a 4831 win in elementary basketball.
Music's 24-points led all scorers.
Music scored seven of her team's
nine first-quarter points as the lxly
Eagles led 9-6 after the first quarter.
Keathley, who led Harold with 15
points, had three points in the first period
for the Lady Devils.
Allen took a 20-10 halftime lead
with Music scoring six points in the
second quarter. Harold experienced
some coldness from the free throw
line missing three front ends of
bonus shots in the period.
Allen extended its lead to I4
points, 32-18, after three quarters.
Amilia Conley tossed in eight
points for the winning Lady Eagles.
Brooke Coleman netted five points
while Courtney Harris and Rachael
Mitchell totaled four each. Chrissy
Nelson scored three.
Lykins, Cole and Hall had four
each for Harold.

He's a great chess player." - Rick
Pitino.
• ESPN's Clark Kellogg is to
college hoops what John Madden is
to the NFL. Premier analyst.
Note: So, how come Dick Vitale
is on ESPN's first team?
• Think about this: Northwestern
is ranked number three this week,
,headed for the Rose Bowl. One year
ago, the Wildcats' season had been
over since what, mid-season.?
• Coaches who condemn rulesmakers for taking away the end
zone celebration arc wrong. The
rule takes away individual showboating in a team sport.
• Break up the 'Huskers.
MERCER PLAUDITS
UK freshman Ron Mercer is
keeping quiet, but others aren't.
Rick Pitino: "Ron Mercer
reminds me of (Jamal) Mashburn in
two ways. He's very humble and he
lets the game come to him. What
makes him great is he wants to get
to first base, then second, then third,
before trying to hit home runs."
Clark Kellogg (ESPN): "You've
heard of basic cable and package
cable and prime cable, well, Mercer
is premium cable."
SEC SENDS MESSAGE
The Southeastern Conference
leveled a menacing shot across the
bow of college basketball last
weekend. Kentucky spotted number
I6 Maryland an 11-point lead, then
squashed the Terrapins. Vanderbilt
stung (then) number three UCLA in
Maui. Auburn overcame a 22-point
deficit to beat number 13
Louisville, and number eight
Mississippi State scored 12I points
in its season debut, beating SE
Louisiana.
BRIGHT BOWL SEASON
College football; as it inches
(inexorably) toward a playoff system, will showcase it's most attractive bowl season in years. Even the
Rose Bowl is an underdog's dream.
Best among them for TV viewers, three of four belong to ABC.
Fiesta (CBS): Nebraska (10-0)

Rose (ABC): Northwestern (101) Vs Southern Cal (8-2-1).
Florida Citrus (ABC): Ohio
State (Il-l) Vs Tennessee (9-1-1 ).
Sugar (ABC): Still to be finalized, but best headliner would beFlorida State (9-2) Vs Texas (9-11).

Chalk one up for the anti-KERA people.
polling firm, either.
P~rhaps we've.been polling
the wrong people about KERA
•
Somebody ought to pass a law to prevent companies from making big bucks taking polls.
I mean, can you think of anything on this earth
that is more useless? And have you ever noticed
that when one comes out, those they favor swear
by them while those they don't favor tells everybody to just ignore them, that they're silly anyway.
Well, by the time this sees print, there will probably be a dozen more on the success or failure of
the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990
(KERA). The latest, at least that I've seen, comes
from the University of Kentucky Survey Research
Center.
Their result? The public generally likes KERA.
Chalk one up for the pro-KERA people.
Of course, that finding is in direct contrast to a
poll by Preston Research in Lexington that was
taken in late October and earlier this month. Their
findings were that more people disliked KERA than
liked it, by a margin of 48 to 37 percent.
But wait! Those results arc in d1rcct contrast to a
survey commissioned by the Kentucky Institute for
Education Research taken m July, which showed
general support for KERA.
Chalk another one
up for the pro KERA
people.
Not so fast. That poll
is in direct contrast ... I
guess you get the point.
For what it's worth,
Clyde Pack
I have an idea.
As a former high
school teacher who worked with KERA for three
years, I suggest - especially in view of the fact that
the general public is, at best, wishy washy on the
issue - we simply wait to see.
I think somebody's been wasting a lot of time
and money polling the wrong people. Let's wait
until today's first graders have become adults, providing they've lived under KERA for all that time,
and just survey them.
We won't need to hire some big expensive

We will be able to find out all we really need to
know by asking only a couple of sim;JIC, straightforward questions.
Like, "Who cut down the cherry tree?"
Just don't be too surprised if no more than 5 percent answer, "George Washington;" 80 percent
accuse you of always blaming them for everything
and flatly deny they even own so much as a pocket
knife, let alone a hatchet; and the other 15 percent
complain that the question is too hard and they can't
read all the big words.
We could then follow that question with, "Can
you spell guinea pig?"
Maybe it's just a sign I'm getting old, but the list of
things that really aggravate me keeps growing.
Like, for instance, losing my car keys. Or when
the shortest line at the checkout counter takes the
longest, and I'm in it. Then there's the missing section in the Sunday paper or those people who stick
advertising flyers under my windshield wiper.
Oh well, I guess it's these little nettlesome things
that makes us all appreciate the good stuff.

Log rafting-another
early occupation
•
Mountain Disaster
by Sonya Tackett
•
•
Throughout the history of Kentucky
coal miners have always been an important aspect, but mine explosions and collisions have caused so much grief and
pain This is a fictitious story of how so
many family members are lost by coal
mines.
A large clap of thunder rolled through
the sky followed with lightning that lit
up the whole town. Dad hadn't returned
home from work yet and I was getting
frightened. He was always
home by 8 p.m. and if he was
going to be late he would
call. Mom said he was probably stopped in the road by a
fallen tree, but I could hear
the trembling of her voice.
She was worried, too, but she
couJdn 't show her true emotions because
of the children. I was the oldest of five,
two younger sets of twins, who were too
young to realize the frightening feeling
of the thunder, and me.
I began thinking of good possibilities,
he promised he would never go into the
mines so that lessened the worries in my
mind. If he promised not to go than he
probably won't because he always keeps
his promises.
The old clock on the wall chimed at
eight-fifty. Still, no sign of dad. Mom
called me into the kitchen. She said
"Marie, you are going to have to tend to
the youngans, I'm going to look for your
father. He should've been back by now."
"Sissy, where is mama," Danny asked
as he stepped into the kitchen to get a
warm glass of milk.
"She went to find ...some food," I
replied.
"O.K.," Danny replied as he bounced
out of the kitchen.
The time mom was gone seemed like
an eternity. I kept my eyes on the clock
until I finally heard a sound. It wasn't
thunder it was mom's old Chevy. I ran to
the window and saw mom sitting in the
car. She wasn't moving, but when the
lightning struck I could see the distressed
look on her face. As the rain began to
fall harder mom got out
of the car. I knew what had happened. I
didn't want to thinlf about it but I knew
deep down what was going on. I could
see the hurt in mom's eyes. She looked
like she just lost her best friend which I
guess it truly was because dad was her
best friend.
She slowly opened the front door,
looked at each child and called me once
again to the kitchen. "Mom what's
wrong?" I asked.
"Honey it's your father, he went into
the mines. He went in to help his friend,
Bruce, who was trapped
under a boulder, but the
whole mine collapsed before
he could get out." Then
mom and I began to cry and
hold each other tight.
My heart stopped. My
world had begun to sunk. I
would no longer have a dad. "How did it
happen? He promised he wouldn't go
into the mines. He promised mom ...he
promised me." Then I buried my head
into mama's chest and cried. Mama was
so hurt.
She and daddy had been married for
15 years. They saw each other every
morning before dad went to work and he
kissed her on the cheek. I saw him every
morning before I went to school. Now
Danny, Susan, Treasa, and Jessica
wouldn't have a daddy to kiss when they
begin school.
One by one the twins walked into the
kitchen and began crying. They didn't
know what for, but when they saw mama
and me they sensed the pain and grief
and began to cry.
This is a scene that happens all too
often in the mountains. Many children
grow up without a father because they
die in coal mines. Since 1940 the occurrences have lessened, but even if one
person is killed it is too much. I am fortunate to have a father who works around
the coal mines, not in the coal mines.
This story is dedicated to all those
women and children who have lost husbands or fathers in the mines and to my
father for keeping his promise (of not
going into the mines.)
Memories
by Jessica Pack and
Rachel Little
As I look back in my
childhood,
I remember how it used to
be.
The schools were small,
The families were big,
And then I remember me.
I was a small skinny boy,
My hair was always wild.
My face was always smudged with
dirt,
Though I was a very lucky child.
•
Mama took good care of me,
She did the best she could,
No matter what she did to me,
What she did was what
she should.
More Poems
on C 12
There was always breakfast on the
table,
With a sweet pumpkin pie.
Mama sat down and we gave thanks,
Then I ate and said good-bye.
I walked through trees,
Hopped over streams,
I walked quietly as a mouse.
I hoped I wasn't tardy,
When I got to the schoolhouse.
I would sit in my seat,
As the teacher would talk aloud,
At the end of the day,
I'd say "bye" to the crowd.
Back over the streams,
And through the trees,
I'd always be cooled off
By the light Autumn breeze.
Supper was ready,
When I got home,
I sat down,
And nibbled on a chicken bone.
My family got presents,
Just like all the rest
We were poor,
But we still thought we
got the best.

Can y'all say the
same?
The first white settlers found one vast virgin
forest. Giant trees stood throughout-white oaks,
black walnut, yellow poplar, chestnuts, buckeye,
ash, maple and others.
The settlers had to remove sections of timber
so that they could farm. Naturally some of the
wood was used to build cabins and furnishings
and some was used for fuel.
Many trees were cut for the smelting of iron
ore at Cumberland Gap and the remaining trees
near the famous gap were cut down during the
Civil War. This was done so that sentries could
watch a broader area and to prevent the enemy
from using trees for protection while advancing.
A new industry sprang up along the Clinch and
Powell Rivers not long after the War Between the
States-logging. Yellow poplar, black walnut and
other woods were abundant and timber from these
trees was in demand.
There were three sawmills that were the most
common buyers of timber. They were located in
Clinton near the forks formed by Powell and
Clinch Rivers, in Kingston near the forks of
Clinch and Holston Rivers, and on the Tennessee
River in Chattanooga where the Hart Loomis
Lumber Company was a major user.
Logs in Hancock County floated down the
Clinch River while logs cut in Lee County,
Virginia, followed the Powell River or Blackwater
Creek to the mills. For the first four or five years,
the logs were run in strings. A few logs are known
to have been driven, but not with great success.
Later on it became the custom to build rafts.
The usual practice was to place the logs in the
water, side by side, and to bind them together by
running poles along each end of the logs, which
were &ecurely fastened by wooden pins or spikes.
Long oars were installed at each end of the rafts.
The average raft contained about 35,000 board
feet of timber and the largest ones contained as
much as 60,000 feet. They usually ranged
between 100 and 150 feet in length.
After a rise of the water level by six feet on the
rivers, the rafts were turned loose and, through the
use of the oars, were guided down the swift
streams to the mills. From Lee County it took four
days to raft logs to Clinton, six days to Kingston
and nine or ten days to Chattanooga. Rafting was
undertaken less frequently during the summer
months because flood waters were less common.
Mrs. Edwin Hair, born in Lee County and now
living in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, wrote recently
telling about her father who worked for a time on
the log rafts.
"Dad came to visit me in 1952 and one of the
first places he wanted to see was the old Hart
Loomis Lumber Company on the Tennessee River
in Chattanooga," she recalled. "He related many
of his experiences including falling into the "':'ater
at the confluence of the Clinch and Powell R1vers.
"He was designated as the one to jump off the
raft and tie it up to trees for the night They meant
to do that before the two rivers joined but were a
little late in this instance. He said they would
walk back home. This was in the very early•
1900s."
After the log rafts reached their destination,
they were sold and the men would usually walk
back home. After the arrival of the railroad some
of the men would return by train if a station was
located anywhere near their homes.
Rafting was successfully practiced on Powell
River up to a point approximately five miles
above Jonesville. Later on, the practice of trucking the logs to the river bank became common
and the zone of logging activity broadened and
extended up Powell River eight or ten miles
above Jonesville.
The logging and rafting business reached its
peak between !880 and 1890. Follo.wing t~e co~
pletion of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad m
1891, this business rapidly declined.
The last rafts are reported to have floated down
Powell River in 1919 and the colorful rafting
industry, so important to the ancestors of m~ny
Lee countians, has since been regulated to history.

Senior citizens, for many of us
Thanksgiving was a time when
family and friends, far and ncar,
came together to enJOY the pleasure
of each other's company for a day.
Besides feasting on the bountiful
food relatives brought fur the occasion, people began to talk about
thc1r growing-up experiences m
Floyd and Pike counties during the
30's, 40's and 50's. As an avid listener. l soon realized that no one
referred to their childhood years as
"the good old days." Times were
tough back then. This is not to say
that life is easy in Appalachia today,
but senior citizens remember when
you ...
• worked the fields instead of
going to school;
• washed the family laundry on
the washboard;
• canned all the hot summer to
have food for winter;
• chopped wood and carried coal
for heat;
• walked to the outhouse in all
kinds of weather hop1ng no one ran
off wuh the catalog;
• wore hand-me-downs that d!dn 't fit:
• went barefoot in the winter;
• rode horseback up the creeks;
• rose before the roosters to feed
the chickens;
• gathered eggs hoping to find
enough to feed the family;
• made your own homemade
soap.
• carried water from the creek;
• followed your siblings into
their bath water;
• shared a bedroom with everyone in the house;
• slept between the cornstalks;
• worked in the mines for script;
• ·blew out the lamp before going
to bed;
• d1d all your shopping at the
commissary;
• had imaginary friends and toys;
• were sick but couldn't get to a
doctor;
• used home remedies as a cureall because you couldn't afford
medicmc ...
The list could go on and on.
Today we have modern conveniences that we take for granted.
Today we have ...
• schools for our children's children;
• modem washers and dryers;
• gas and electric furnaces;
• indoor plumbing and quilted
toilet paper,
• electric blankets;
• resale shops for pre-owned
shoes, clothmg and household
items;
• paved roads, automobiles and
4-wheelers;
• real money, large grocery and
department stores;
• toys, TV's, radios, camcorders
and VCR's;
• telephones, emergency rescue
units, hospitals;
• fire, police and sheriff protection departments;
• more doctors, modern medicine and inexpensive vaccinations;
health departments, not-for-profit medical clinics, Hospice, home
health;
Medicare/Medicaid/SSI. ..
Again, the list could go on and
on.
With all the advancements that
have been made in Appalachia over
the last fifty to sixty years, many of
our senior citizens still have it
tough-just as they did when they
were growing up. It's not easy for
our region's older Americans to live
in the hills on their basic social
security checks. What can be even
more discouraging is to learn that
there is a program that maybe could
have helped in a crisis situation but
they didn't know about it when they
needed it. This is one purpose of the
Kentucky Benefits Counseling
Program for Senior Citizens
(KBCP).
When you have a need, Carol
Napier, a paralegal for APPALRED,
and your Benefits Counseling
Coordinator for Floyd, Johnson,
Magoffin, Martin and Pike counties
can tell you if any programs are
available to assist you with your
particular need. She will be able to
discuss eligibility requirements
with you and to direct you to the
right person or organization that
may be able to help you. If you have
a need, or know a senior citizen
who does, call Carol at 886-3876 or
toll-free at 1-800-556-3876.

Highlands Clinic celebrates tenth anniversary
•
•
•
•
Highlands Clinic officially
marked its tenth anmversary on
October 22.
On that date, ten years ago, in
what was then called the Medical
Offices,
Highlands
Regional
Medical Center opened its first outpatient specialty care clinic. The
idea behind the clinic concept was
to eliminate the need for sick, elder
ly, or post surgical patients to have
to travel to Lexington for follow-up
care or diagnostic referral by local
family physicians, and the concept
was in keeping with Highlands'
vision to make Eastern Kentucky a
better place to live.
The first clinic was designated to
the specialty of neurosurgery, and
was staffed by Dr. Byron Young,
chairman of the department of neurosurgery from the University of
Kentucky. To open the clinic at 8
a.m., Dr. Young would be up and on
his way to Prestonsburg by 6 a.m.
And with other neurosurgery serices being non-existent at that
me, in Eastern Kentucky, it was
.pt uncommon for Dr. Young to see
between 75 and 90 patients on an
average clinic day.
In 1986, Dr. Robert Dempsey,
assistant chairman of the department of neurosurgery at UK,
replaced Dr. Young in the outpatient
neurosurgery clinic at Highlands.
Dr. Dempse)t shared Highlands'
vision of the clinic concept and was
instrumental in helping Highlands
with its pursuit of bringing university specialty medical care to patients
in east Kentucky.
Through the years, the name,
Highlands Clinic, was chosen as the
official name for the designated
area at Highlands housing the everincreasing number of outpatient
specialty clinics A special entrance
convenient to patient parking and a
new elevator for clinic patients was
donated by Highlands Auxiliary in
1986.
Highlands Clinic continued to
recruit a variety of medical specialists, in a clinic setting, where family physicians from all over
Eastern Kentucky could send their
patients for consultation or followup care. The specialists would see
and treat the patients and send
them back to their individual family physicians. To date, Highlands
Clintc has two locations, one on
the Medical Center campus in
Prestonsburg and another tn
Highlands Medical Offices in
Paintsville. More than 70 physicians representing some 27 areas
of specialty medical care hold outpatient clinics. These medical specialists are from the University of
Kentucky, other Lexington facilities, and various other areas in the
state. Cardiothoracic surgery,
oncology, neurosurgery, endocrinology, sports medicine, urology, and gastroenterology are a few
of the medical specialties offered.
In 1989, Highlands Clinic began
a new program aimed at even further enhancing health care for
Eastern Kentuckians. The program,
called Care Connection, placed
Highlands
personnel
in
a
Lexington-based office to care for
the special needs of patients from
Eastern Kentucky that were transported to tertiary care facilities in
Lexington for specialty care or for
specialized
surgery.
Care
Connection representatives would
assist patients through the admission process, help family members
find lodging accommodations,
check daily on the patients, and
make certain referring physicians
were notified of their patients' condition and received discharge summaries in a timely manner.
In 1990, Highlands was notified
by the United States General
Accounting Office that the Care
Connection program was selected
as one of the top three best new
ideas in patient health care in a rural
setting.
In 1995, Dr. Kenneth Foon,
director of the Markey Cancer
Center, University of Kentucky,
opened an outpatient clinic to provide oncology care for patients with
leukemia, lymphoma, and certain
other hematologic malignancies.
Another significant addition to
Htghlands Clinic in 1995 was the
addition of a University of
Kentucky Sports Medicine Clinic
staffed by Dr. David Caborn, direc-
tor and chief of the Sports Medicine
Center at the University of
Kentucky. Yet another major clinic
addition in 1995 was the High Risk
Prenatal Clime, also staffed by the
University of Kentucky Medical
Center specialists.
Time wise, not a lot has changed
since the clinic began. Lexington
phystcians still must get up before
daylight, drive up the Mountain
Parkway and be ready to see clinic
patients around 8:30a.m. Most specialists hold clinic every other week
on a designated day of the week,
while a few specialists come one
day every week. Some specialists
do surgery at Highlands on one day,
spend the night locally, and see
patients in clinic the next day as
well as follow-up with their surgical
patients.
Today in an environment of
change in the health care delivery
system, new concepts in providing
patient care focus not only on
patient convenience but on more
dollar efficient delivery of care.
"My mother is 86 years old, has
severe osteoporosis, and the movement of traveling in a car is
extremely
painful
for
her,
Prestonsburg businessman Estill
Lee Carter said. "Having her doctor
come here to Highlands Clinic is
absolutely wonderful. The convenience of us not having to take her
to Lexington to see her doctor has
made her life a lot easier. I feel the
clinic is a real service for everyone
living in east Kentucky."

The Floyd County Times
Appalachian
Secret
Clouds arose from the mountain tops on
the morning of April 7, 1943. All was
beautiful and peaceful in this section of
the Appalachian mountains. All seemed to
rejoice in perfect harmony as if the world
was perfect, even without all the technology and the new way of thinking
that we enjoy now. But, yet it wasn ' t.
Back then there wasn ' t any agency to
care for abused children, the parents were
allowed to discipline them any way they
chose and others were expected to mind
their own business. In the year of
1943 my family lived in a medium
sized house up a hollow. People were
pretty spread out, because a lot of
room was taken up for all the needed
crops and pasture land was used for
grazing animals. Then
we grew everything,
we never needed to
go to the store.
When we
"The
did go to the store ,;.e would stop and talk to
neighbors, it was the Appalachian way to
smile and talk to everyone in our hillbilly
dialect. As I said we were always friendly but
yet kept out of each others houses. It was no
one's business what went on in there.
In my house my dad was glad people
minded their own business, for he had a terrible secret to hide. He was the sheriff then, but
God only knows how he could uphold the law
for in my mind he broke it everyday. He
abused his children.
Back then children were treated very low.
They were not allowed to speak unless spoken
to or express any kind of opinion at all. But
every now and then when a brave child would
break one of these rules, they paid dearly for
it. The punishment was always harsh. When
some of my brothers did this their punishment
would make me shake in my shoes, if I had
any shoes that is.
I was my father's favorite in those days
and never got in trouble. I had fun making
swimming holes in rivers, running in mud and
getting as dirty as I wanted. I also had
fun jumping on the beds made of com
shucks except when snakes decided to
sleep there. But all this fun would be
interrupted when one of my brothers
would get in trouble, my
s
punishment
would be
to tie them
to a post on the
back porch and then hit them with a
leather belt until sometimes they would
begin to bleed. My mom would be put
through the same torment if she disobeyed my father.
He was a hated man and eventually
was killed. The abuse stopped but the
mental damage was already done. In
these days, children had no idea how
lucky they are. Society, even in these
mountains, now will frown upon any type
of abuse . There now are countless agencies
that abuse will be reported to. This is a fictional story about what I feel was a major
problem back then. I hope you can se~ that
we are very lucky to have these agenc1es
today.

How things were back then
by Amanda Taylor
The Mountains are high, they can nearly reach the sky.
When the sun sinks slowly below the Mountains, you know it's
time to say good night.
The cold fall wind blows.
The summer sunshine shines with a bright glow.
Everything is peaceful and quiet here on the land.
When you hear the crickets singing a silent tune each night, you
know it's time for bed.
When you hear the birds singing in the morning, and roosters
making a loud and sudden crow.
You know it's time to get on the go.
Work, work, work is what we do best here on the farm.
Feeding all of the animals in the tom down barn.
Tired bodies, muscles ache.
All of our bodies feel like they're going to break.
Swimming ponds are very warm and deep.
The Mountains are very high and steep.
Many people visit here. The time goes by each passing year.

you walk up to the machine," advises Sonia Barbara, a representative for the American Bankers Association in
Washington, D.C. Fill out your deposit slip before you get to
the ATM, then conduct your transaction quickly and leave.
"It's especially important to keep your PIN number private. Use your body to shield the keyboard so no one can see
you enter it," says Barbara. If someone stands too .close or
seems to be watching, cancel your transaction and go to
another ATM. Don't linger at the machine. Put away your
cash and take your receipt with you.
Be especially aware of your surroundings at night, cautions
Barbara. If you use an ATM after dark, try to find one in a
well-lit spot. If an ATM is not well lit or if there's overgrown
shrubbery outside-where a mugger could hide-drive to
another machine. You also should ask the bank to make the
location safer.
Never give anyone your PIN number. Barbara says some
people have gotten calls from "bank officials" asking to verify a PIN numb~r. "No bank will ever call someone for their
PIN," she stresses.
What happens if your ATM card is stolen? Notify the bank
as soon as possible. You're only liable for the first $50 of
unauthorized use, provided you contact the bank within three
days of losing your card or 60 days of receiving your bank
statement.

Savings Bond Informer, Inc. Unlike savings accounts, most
bonds accrue interest just twice a year. "If you cash them in
only one day before a semiannual increase, you will have forfeited six months of interest," he says.
It's possible you are holding bonds that should be
redeemed. "People are holding more than $2 billion worth of
bonds that have stopped earning interest altogether," says
Pederson.
Pederson saw the need for more information when he
worked as supervisor of the savings bond division of the
Federal Reserve Bank Chicago/Detroit branch. "Savings
bonds are probably the only investment for which you never
receive a statement," he says.

Are you a Social Security beneficiary under age 70 who is working? Do you know whether or not
you need to report your annual
earnings for 1994 to Social
Security? Generally, if you earned
at least $8,040 in 1994 and are
under age 65, you'll need to submit
a report. If you're age 65-69 and
earned at least $11,160, Social
Security needs to know because
these earnings may affect your
monthly benefits. In either case, the
report is due by April 17, 1995.
After you retire, some earnings
you receive-called special payments-may not count toward these
earnings levels and thus will not
affect your Social Security benefits.
These special payments are earnings paid for work you completed
before you retired but that you don't
receive until after you're retired and
collecting benefits.

benefits.
"Services"
include any regular work or other
significant activity you do for your

self-employed individuals include
income derived by an owner of a

over age 65 for a copyright or
patent created before age 65, and
commissions on insurance policies
sold before retirement.
WHAT'S A
SPECIAL PAYMENT?
TO REPORT A
SPECIAL PAYMENT
If you were an employee, earnings received after retirement count
as a special payment if they are for
work you completed for your
employer before you stopped working. Some special payments to
employees include bonuses, accumulated vacation or sick pay, severance pay, back pay, standby pay,
sales commissions, payments
received because of retirement, or
deferred compensation earned in

Security before you file your annual report. Explain why you believe
your earnings for 1994 include a
special payment. If Social Security
agrees, the amount of the payment
will not count as part of your total
earnings for the year.
When asked in surveys how
they will pay for long-term care,
most elderly people respond that
Medicare or Medicaid will pay the
cost. Unfortunately, that's just not
true.
Medicare does not cover longterm care. It pays for some nursing
and homehealth care expenses, but
these must be medically related and
short-term. Medicaid only pays for
long-term care if your income falls
below a certain level.
By the year 2000, it's estimated
that 7.5 million Americans will
need some form of long-term care.
Paying for this care will require
$50,000 to $100,000 for those retiring in the year 2000. That's why
planning ahead for your long-term
care needs makes financial sense.
Many insurance companies
offer long-term care insurance. You
can find out more about these policies by talking to a life or health
insurance agent. One way to find an
agent is through your local Life
Underwriters Association, whose
members have a commitment to
professionalism.

TWO EXAMPLES
Here are two examples of earn-
ings that are considered a spectal
payment and don ' t count as part of
annual earnings:
(1) Ms. Barnes retires from fulltime farming in October 1993 at age
65 and begins to rece1ve Soctal
Security benefits. In September
1994, she sells some grain she had
harvested and stored in 1991 and
nets $13,000 from the sale. Since
her earnings exceed the 1994 limit
($11, 160), she must report these
earnings to Social Security.
However, these earnings come
under the definition of a special
payment because they are based on
work performed before Ms. Barnes
began to collect Social Security.
Therefore, they will not be counted
as earnings for Social Security purposes.
(2) Mr. DeSilva retires from the
Crown Jewelry Company at age 65
in November 1993. In June 1994,
his employer sent him a $12,000
check to cover bonuses and vacation pay he had earned while he
worked. Because this amount is
over the 1994 limit ($11, 160), Mr.
DeSilva must file an annual report
with Social Security. However,
because Mr. DeSilva earned this
amount before he retired from the
company, it is considered a special
payment, ~nd will not count as
earnings for 1994.

Should you expect an increase in
your Social Security retirement
check if you go back to work? The
answer depends on your previous
work and earnings history.
Anyone who has worked in
Social Security-co vered employment for at least l 0 years is eligible
for a check at retirement age. But
35 years of Social Security earnings
are averaged to determine the
amount of the check that will be
paid. The higher the average earnings for the years used in determining the benefit, the higher the
monthly check.
Workers who have fewer than 35
years of earnings when Social
Security benefits begin can always
expect an increase by going back to
work, even if only part time. Many
women fall into this category
because of caregiver years of the
paid work force.
Workers with 35 or more years
of earnings receive increased
monthly checks only if the year of
new earnings exceeds an earlier
year of earnings used in initially
determining the monthly check
amount. Social Security indexes old
earnings to bring them up to date
before determining the lifetime
average earnings on which benefits
are based.
For a year of new earnings to
increase the lifetime average, the
new earnings must be a higher
amount than a year of indexed old
earnings. Full-time, full-career
workers often fi nd that late-life
earnings are not high enough to
affect monthly check amounts. That
is particularly true if earnings are
kept deliberately low so as not to
exceed the annual earnings limitation.
Nothing has to be done to
receive any increase due. The
Social Secrity Administration automatically recomputes benefits
whenever a new year of earnings is
credited to a retired worker's earnings record.
Crediting and recomputing takes
almost a year, but if an adjustment
is due, the increase is paid retroactive to January of the year following the year of new earnings.
Workers who know that new earn-
ings will make a difference can
speed up the process by taking their
W-2 to the local Social Security
office and asking for an expedited
recomputation.
Self-employed individuals need
to take both their federal tax return
and cancelled check proving that
Social Security taxes have been
paid on the reported earnings.

Richards, who has served in the

in two ways.
By switching to block grant programs, the state will get less money
from Washington while also being
forced to pick up the tab for administering the programs.
Richards said that Medicaid and

Attorney General Chris Gorman
who briefed members on the legislative recommendations of the
Attorney General's Task Force on
Older Kentuckians. The task force
has developed a series of proposals
designed to help senior citizens in a
number of areas.
The task force recommended
enhanced penalties for those convicted of consumer fraud against
those over 60. Other proposals
would increase disclosure requirements for home improvement contractors that solicit business in the
home and requiring transient merchants not regularly doing business
in the area to register and post bond.
The commission also completed
its recommendations for the 1996

Morrison said.
The
Special

Commission of Senior Citizens,
established in 1977, provides a
forum through which the knowledge of senior citizens can be utilized in dealing with problems facing all state residents, as well as
older Kentuckians. The subcommittees are divided into five areas:

Meniere s disease can be treated with diet
by M.R.
Hiller
.Q: My father has been suffering
from Meniere's disease for three
years. The disease was under control until a month ago, when vertigo
attacks recurred. These attacks
cause hun to lose his balance, fall
and start vomiting. He had been on
a low-salt diet but went off it; could
the lapse in diet have caused the
vertigo attacks? Can you explain
the natural course of this disease?
He has lost a Jot of hearing in one
ear and his doctors are talking about
surgery.-C. C., Palm Springs,
Calif.
A: Experts contend that some
patients will have attacks of vertigo
when they deviate from their lowsalt diet, and returning to this diet is
their first recommendation. If a
low-salt diet can control the vertigo
attacks, they see little justification
for surgery. The expert consensus is
that vertigo attacks associated with
Meniere's disease will stop after a
period of time, usually five to seven
years.
Meniere's disease is a disorder
of the inner ear defined by a triad of
symptoms-a sensation of whirling
motion, or vertigo; ringing in the
ear, called tinnitus; and fluctuating
hearing loss. Typically there also is
a sense of fullness or pressure in the
ear.
About 250,000 people develop
Meniere's disease annually in the
United States. The cause isn't
known, but the problems are often
the result of a watery fluid buildup,
or hydrops, in the inner ear.
There normally are two types of
fluids in the ear; a potassium-rich,
cndolymphatic fluid similar to fluid
found inside cells, and the perilymphatic fluid, which resembles spinal
fluid. The leading Meniere's theory
suggests that a membrane in the
middle ear ruptures and the two fluids mix.
This provokes the release of
toxic chemicals, causing damage to
the hearing and sensory nerves.
This, in turn, results in a sudden
attack of vertigo and, usually, hearing loss. When the rupture heals
and the toxins are flushed out of
area, which can take hours or a few
days, the symptoms subside. But
left untreated, the symptoms often
recur.
"Each time this (the mixing of
fluids) occurs, the nerves for balance and hearing are poisoned a little, and the result is nerve degeneration," said Dr. Joseph B. Nadol,
chairman of the Department of
Otolaryngology at Harvard Medical
School, in an interview. The nerves
in the ear do not regenerate, so
damage is permanent and cumulative.
This theory has been proved
only in animals, not in humans,
since the inner ear is difficult to
reach. A new tool, called functional
magnetic resonance imaging,
should help researchers exan1i •. ~
what happens during a human
attack.
Although the natural progression
of Menie;e's disease varies from
person to person, the condition will
almost always cause progressive
hearing loss. Even so, most people
continue to be able to hear speech.
"The natural history of Meniere's is
self-limiting, and most patients will
not go totally deaf," Nadol said.
It is generally accepted that ver-
Stroke is the third leading cause
of death in the U.S., but ultrasound
imaging is now making it possible
to detect strokes before they are
fatal.
It can be used in many cases as a
substitute for angiography to identify arteries that have become narrowed or partially blocked thus limiting the blood flow.
Many studies have shown that
high quality ultrasound is as accurate as angiography.
In a recent national study, ultrasound imaging was used to determine if patients with no symptoms
of disease had blocked carotid
arteries.
Many strokes happen when these
arteries become blocked and the
blood supply to the brain is cut off
Inner ear fluids and Meniere's disease
The inner ear is a
structure responsible
for the senses of
sound and balance.
Within the skull bone is
a space known as the
osseous labyrinth,
which is filled with
perilymph. Suspended
in this fluid is the
membranous labyrinth,
which is filled with
endolymph.
One theory holds
that excessive fluid
causes Meniere's
disease. A newer
theory says that it is
caused by a mixing
of the two fluids,
endolymph and
perilymph. In either
case, the result is a
disturbance of the
normal senses:
vertigo and nausea,
tinnitus (a ringing in
the ear) or
deafness.

tigo attacks will stop after five to
seven years. Yet there are studies
that have shown attacks ending in
as little as twq years or as long as 10
to 20 years.
Once Meniere's disease affects
one car, there's about a 50 percent
chance of developing it in the other
ear. Several studies found that
among the individuals who did
develop Meniere's in both ears,
roughly 75 percent did so within
five years of the start of symptoms.
Half developed it within two years.
The primary reason for treatment
is to combat the symptoms. Vertigo
can be the most disabling. It typically lasts from 20 minutes to several hours but occasionally can last
up to 24 hours. Attacks lasting
longer than 24 hours are an indication that the cause is probably
something other than Meniere's disease.
Treatment focuses on relieving
the vertigo without losing hearing.
Most people respond to dietary
approaches. But, according to
Nadol, there is no single best treatment. In fact, no matter what vertigo treatment regimen is used, the
reported success rate is usually 60
to 80 percent, which, as Nadol
writes, suggests a placebo effect or
a non-specified effect of therapy.
The most widely used treatment
is a low-salt diet combined with
diuretics. This, along with other
medical therapies such as vasodilators, vasoconstrictors or antihistamines, are based on the notion that
they can alter the fluid balance in
the inner ear.
Studies report that about 80 percent ol pa•i<!"'' :;·)!'!r01 their symptoms with a very-low-sah ciitt <.1:1d
diuretics regimen. Since this diet
allows Jess than two grams of salt a
day (the equivalent of a little less
than half a teaspoon of table salt), a
patient must work with a nutritionist to learn how to eat accordingly.
For the approximately 15 percent of patients who do not respond
to any of the dietary or medical
treatments, surgery may be needed,
or reduced. Ultrasound imaging can
show if the carotid arteries are normal or blocked.
It can show the artery wall thickness and the diameter of the opening of the artery.
"All of this information helps
determine if or how patients should
be treated," says the American
College of Radiology (ACR)
Commission on Ultrasound.
Surgery can reduce the risk of
stroke by 55 percent for patients
who have no symptoms but have 60
percent or more carotid artery
blockage, say investigators of the
Asymptomatic Carotid Artery
Study. Ultrasound was used in this
study to identify patients who had
limited blood flow due to artery
narrowing.
but experts advise that this should
be a last resort.
There are more than 20 surgical
procedures that can be grouped
three ways: surgeries that drain the
fluid in the middle ear; procedures
that surgically or chemically disable
the hearing sense organs; and
surgery that severs the eighth cranial nerve, which carries messages
to the brain from the ear. The second procedure may result in permanent deafness in the treated ear; the
latter procedure always does.
Experts say the vertigo of
Meniere's is so debilitating that
patients almost always seek help.
Although the evidence is sketchy,
some research suggests that preventing attacks of vertigo may actually prevent some hearing loss.
After six months to a year of a
low-salt diet and no major spells of
vertigo, patients are usually
released from the diet. But some
authorities say the potential for saving some hearing with the diuretics
and low-salt diet argues for continuing the regimen even after the
attacks end, said Dr. Perry Santos,
professor of otolaryngology at the
Southern Illinois University School
of Medicine in Springfield.
"If someone has vertigo or hearing loss, they should go to an otolaryngologist to be properly worked
up. There is help available and people can benefit from treatment,"
Santos said in an interview.

Ultrasound also can be used to
monitor patients who are at higher
risk of developing a stroke. For
example, patients who have had a
stroke and have had surgery to
remove the blockage may need to
undergo regular ultrasound examinations.
Ultrasound uses sound waves,

I have always been involved
with animals. In fact, as an author,
broadcaster and humane-society
executive, animals have been my
life's work.
Jill, my wife of 40 years, and I
live on a farm. We have more
than 30 animals, including nine
cats, 11 dogs and everything from
macaws and alpaca to llama. And
they are all pets.
But apparently, I needed a special friend of my own, just as I
did when I was a child. That is
where Topi came in. His real
name is Topaz, but I call him Topi
or Mr. Sweetface, which really
does describe him, corny though
it may sound.
A 4-year-old male whippet,
burnished gold in color, with huge
brown eyes, Topi looks like a
piece of fine porcelain-he is the
most elegant creature I have ever
seen. And he is gentle and accepting toward everything that livescats, birds, our four grandchildren. Everything is fine with him,
as long as he is near me.
Although the relationship that
can exist between a human and a
certain special animal is quite
extraordinary and has been
recorded in literature as long as
there has been literature., there are
seemingly few avenues of communication between them. But in
cases of real bonding-the kind
Topi and I have-the avenue of
language we humans rely on is
not needed. Without getting either
spooky or goofy about it, Topi
knows, in the way dogs know
things, what I need of him, and I
know what he needs from me. We
communicate in a way I can't
understand myself, much less
describe.
Here at Thistle Hill Farm, my
study is up a hill from the main
house. When I head in that direction, I know without looking that
Topi is at my heels. He has been
waiting and watching. And when I
open my study, he waits because
he knows I'll hold the door. It is
all routine, safe, unhurried and
dependable for both of us. For
me, at my age, and for dogs of
any age, dependable matters.
I bought an old leather psychi-
by Joe Bower
atrist's couch at a local country
auction. It is Topi 's while I work.
When I finish a chapter or a
script, I lean back, and Topi
knows what that means. One of
his eyebrows goes up and then the
other. He knows I am going to
read to him. He listens patiently,
then goes back to sleep. It doesn't
matter that he can't understand
what I am saying-because we
both need the interaction. And the
brief interlude serves its purpose.
I'm not sure when or how this
special friendship started. We both
just knew there was something
extra in our lives-each other. I
can't imagine what it would be
like without him. He is not only
beautiful and kind, he is safe and
reliable in a world that is often
neither. He belongs to me, and
yes, quite willingly, I belong to
him. I feel sorry for people who
can't relate to that. They have
missed an awful lot.

When it comes to hicc ups,
everyone seems to have a cure.
Over the years, folk remedies have
dictated many peculiar measures,
such as drinking water while standing on your head.
Odd remedies fit this strange
condition. Hiccups are an involuntary response that serve no purpose,
says Richard Garrison, M.D., a
family physician at Baylor College
of Medicine in Houston. They
aren't hereditary, and no one is
immune, adds Barry Kass, pharmacist and director of the Center for
Drug Education at Northeastern
University's Bouve College of
Pharmacy and Health Sciences in
Boston.
Hiccups may be caused by an
irritation of the phrenic nerve,
which runs from the central nervous
system to the diaphragm, Kass
explains. When irritated, the nerve
causes spastic contractions of the
diaphragm that, in turn, prompt the
forceful closure of the glottis,
which produces the familiar "hiccup" sound.
What triggers this irritation
remains a mystery, although sus-
pectcd culprits include overeating
and excessive alcohol intake, he
says. And, why they usually subside
in a short time also is unknown.
But in some cases, hiccups can
last a long time, Kass says. And
chronic cases cause serious problems, including exhaustion and
depression. If hiccups persist more
than a day, consult your doctor.
You can speed hiccups' passing
by trying to stymie what's irritating
the phrenic nerve. Actions that
diminish oxygen in the bloodstream
by Linda Wasmer Smith
The latest snooze news: If you
have trouble sleeping at night, it
might be because you produce low
levels of melatonin, a hormone produced m the brain that may play a
key role in regulating your body
clock.
That's the basic idea behind a
study now underway at the Oregon
Health Sciences University, says
Mary Blood, M.S., research associate. Scientists are trying to help
or jolt the nerve have been found to
stop the spastic contractions of the
diaphragm- sometimes. To halt
hiccups in their tracks, Garrison and
Kass suggest trying:
- swallowing granulated sugar
- breathing into a bag
- holding your breath
-chewing ice
- gargling with ice water
- yanking the tongue
- scaring the victim
- sucking a lemon
-eating stale bread
people sleep better by giving them
synthetic melatonin in doses that
mimic the levels produced in young
adults.
"Our hope is that this will give
people whose melatonin production
has dropped with age stronger internal cues when it's time to sleep,"
Blood says.
Results aren't in yet, though, so
Blood discourages folks from trying to treat themselves with melatonin pills from health-food stores.

�S 6- Wednesday, November 29, 1995
by Kathy Schwartz
Janet Leigh
A funny thing happened on the
way to stardom and success: In one
of her early movies, the already
lithe Janet Leigh had to lose
enough weight to realistically portray a starvmg refugee. Because
the character was a ballerina, she
also had to learn to dance. Today,
at 67 ("Why lie about it?"), Leigh
credits her fabulous 5-foot-6-inch,
100-pound frame to the lessons she
learned as an ingenue: "I got into
the habit of exercising and eating
properly-and it stayed with me."
"Proper" and "moderation" are
words Leigh emphasizes. Although
she eats a low-fat diet, takes vitamins, plays tennis, skis, works out
in her home gym or walks almost
every day and no longer smokes,
she isn't fanatical. ''I'm not a
zealot. I'm not trying to be a Mrs.
Schwarzenegger," she insists.
"Why waste time wishing you
were--or trying to be-20 years
younger? That's like trying to
move a retaining wall. I just want
to feel and look as good as I can
for my age."
Leigh also insists that keeping
busy helps her feel f:t. To that end,
she does extensive charity work
and has just completed two new
books, "Janet Leigh on Psycho,"
( 1995, Harmony Books, $22) and
"House of Destiny," (1995, Mira
Books, $19.95). But the real credit
for her inherent abundance of energy goes to "the man upstairs." And
she does her part by reading a written meditation each morning. "I
think your frame of mind has a lot
to do with how you feel." she '
explains, "and that just sets my
day. I'm a very happy-and
lucky-person."
Arnold Palmer
It's no surprise to Arnold
Palmer's legion of nonunifonned
fans, a.k.a. Arnie's Army, that their
leader plays golf or practices
almost every day. That should be
par for the course-pardon the
pun. But fans may be surprised to
discover that because he also is a
business executive, advertising
spokesperson, golf-course designer
and consultant, and family man,
Palmer has to make time for exercise.
And he does. "Without excep. tion," Palmer, 66, runs through a
daily set of back exercises, and,
when he's not traveling, rides his
bike for two to three miles. In
addition, he swings heavily
weighted golf clubs for upper-body
strength, and it isn't unusual to see
him squeezing elastic devices with
his hands-great for maintaining
the firm grip that helped him garner 92 national and international
championships.
One exercise strategy Mature
Outlook readers might do well to
copy: When Palmer hits the links,
he usually leaves the motorized
cart at the clubhouse and walks the
course instead.
Ann Landers
You couldn't ask for better
advice about fitness than what this
well-known syndicated columnist
prescribes for herself. "This is
what works for me," explains Ann
Landers. "I exercise for at least 30
minutes every day-15 in the
morning, as soon as I get out of
bed-and 15 at some point during
the day or evening." And walking
through airports counts, too, she
adds.
Although Landers, 77, admits to
eating "whatever I want-too
much candy and sweets," dieting
hasn't been a necessity, and the
lucky lady's weight "hasn't varied
S pounds in 20 years." However,
she holds firm to the credo "No
smoking, no alcohol-never did,"
and makes sure she gets at least
eight hours of sleep every night.
If dishing out advice for more
than 30 years ever got her down,
Landers doesn't admit it. In fact,
she seems to thrive on it. "My life
is relatively stress-free, and I continue to love my work," she notes,
"although I often put in 10 hours a
day at my desk, which is very
demanding." Her personal recipe
for preventing burnout: "I plan one
out-of-the-country trip every
spring." This year, the destination
was Paris.
Connie Stevens
Whether you remember her as
the effervescent Cricket on the
'60s television series "Hawaiian
Eye" or recognize her as today's
super-saleswoman promoting her
own Forever Spring line of skincare products on the Home
Shopping Network, it's evident
that Connie Stevens hasn't
changed much. She's still blonde,
beautiful and full of energy and
enthusiasm-for everythmg but
exercise. "It just bores me stiff,"
says the 50-plus entertainer, who
makes a distinction between exercise and athletics. "I've always
been an athlete-that's entirely different-but when it comes to any
form of exercise, my mind just
shuts down. Then I go on a selfchallenge-to see how little I can
do."
Still, after a series of accidents
prohibited any vigorous activity for
almost 2-112 years. Stevens now
tries to exercise regularly. At least
three times a week, she does a
combination of yoga, weight lifting
and some form of aerobic exercise,
preferably walking a 3-mile course
"at a pretty good clip."
Only one exercise, however,
elicits the bubbling enthusiasm she
is famous for. Stevens begins every
day with a 7- to 15-minute Tai Chi
session. And although she admits
her "shorthand version" may not
be considered official, she sings
the praises of its principal benefit,
"an overall sense of calm." Unlike
aerobic exercises that prompt her
to compete against others in a class
or even against herself, she says,
"Tai Chi gives me the same physical high and sense of well-being
without the added mental stress."
ChetAtkins
"You see people who take such
good care of their car, making sure
everything's right," observes Chet
Atkins, in his soft, southern way.
"But then they don't take care to
take care of their bodies. And I
think that's unfortunate."
Well, you can be sure this C. G.
P. (Certified Guitar Picker) takes
good care of himself. When the
musician/composer isn't pacing off
his brisk two-mile walk, he's at a
Nashville gym "pushing weights
and liftin' things." And in spite of a
busy schedule that can find him
performing on the East Coast one
night and in Europe the next, he's
dedicated. For example, he recently walked every floor and flight of
stairs in a large hotel in Germany
to complete his requisite 30-minute
routine.
Although Atkins, 71, says he's
"always been health-conscious,"
his reflections on his life tell you
there's more to it than his preference for a 33-inch waistline.
Recalling good times, good music
and good friends as diverse as
Hank Williams and Garrison
Keillor, Atkins acknowledges a
philsophical rationale for staying
fit. "Don't wait until the grim
reaper takes a swing at you," he
advises. "If you love life and all of
its wonderful adventures, you
should think about that once in a
while."
Shirley Jones
"I'm just not dedicated to exercise-and maybe that's because
my life is so hectic," says Shirley
Jones, 61, an Academy Award winning entertainer whose concert
tours keep her on the run. "I guess
that's why I've never really developed a regular exercise regime."
But, when pressed for details,
Jones admits to certain basic disciplines, such as walking and
stretching, a low-fat, low-salt diet,
vitamin supplements, daily herb
teas and even a weekly visit to an
acupuncturist.
Does it work? Her husband,
comedian/producer Marty Ingels
says Shirley was born fit. "She's a
walking endorphin. She likes who
she is. Her heart and soul are at
peace-and I guess it sends the
right messages to her body. Her
glass is eternally half-full."
And Jones generally agrees,
"I've always believed fitness to be
an attitude," she explains. "At least
it begins that way. The rest seems
to follow."
What about the benefits of
being married to a comedian?
Jones says it was the perfect piece
of the happiness puzzle. "Well, I

tell you," she says with a chuckle,
"it's a circus every day. And I love
it."
Julia Child
Describing her philosophy of
fitness, everyone's favorite chef,
Julia Child, quotes the American
Institute of Wine and Food:
Moderation in all things. Small
helpings and eating a great variety
of food should be combined with
sensible exercise, weight-watching
and having a good time, she
explains. In addition to her daily
30-minute exercise routine, Child
says, "I love my work and my
friends. That makes a very happy
life for me." Good health and bon
appetit, Julia!
Jane Brody
Jane Brody, health and nutrition
author and New York Times
columnist, doesn't punch a time
clock-and it's a good thing
because she freely admits that fitness is her life: "I arrange my life
around my physical activity." That
includes singles tennis four days a
week, ice skating or 10-mile bike
rides-depending on the seasonfive times a week, plus a nightly
swim.
So how does she find time for
work?" My activities give me energy and help improve my efficiency
enough that I get more done in less
time," this 54-year-old, perpetualmotion machine responds.
And just as Brody maintains
that her activities are "fun-not
exercise," her low-fat (20 percent
fat or less) eating strategy is a
"sensible way of life," not a diet.
"It doesn't mean fanaticism, deprivation or self-denial," she explains.
"It means good sense."
But a proper diet is a complement to physical activity, not a ·
substitute:"We do certain thingseat, sleep, brush our teeth--every
day. We should exercise every
day," she posits. "No matter how
healthfully you eat, if you're not
physically active, you are not a
healthy person."
Tips Help Seniors
Manage Medications
Seniors take more medications to manage
more ailments, and are at a significantly
greater risk for side effects and drug interactions than younger people.
In nursing homes and other longterm care
facilities, hospices and in the home-wherever there's a need for high-quality health care
services in the community--consultant pharmacists are serving as personal health care
advisors. They care for the elderly and the
chronically ill in a personalized and individual wa.y.
But consultant pharmacists see their role as
more than just monitoring medicationthey' re committed to seeing their patients live
well and live longer.
One of the consultant pharmacist's most
important duties is to prevent medication
errors, adverse drug reactions and dangerous
drug interactions. The following guidelines
from the American Society of Consultant
Pharmacists can ensure that you get the most
from your medication:
• Talk about your medication with all of
your health care providers- doctors, physical therapists and pharmacists. If you're being
treated by different doctors for different ailments, it is important to be clear and forthright in explaining what medicines you take
and how you take them.
• Make a list of any problems that may be
related to your medications. When visiting
your physician or consultant pharmacist,
share both the list and concerns about your
medication. Problems can often be discovered
Among the most important jobs for

medication errors.
more quickly if the medication can be
checked in person.
• Check with your local senior center and
ask them to bring in a consultant pharmacist
regularly to conduct "brown bag" sessions.
The pharmacist will evaluate all your medicines-prescription and over the-counterand help you determine whether you're on the
right regimen and if you're taking the medicine the right way. Don't forget to pack all of
your medications.
• Involve your children, spouse and other
relatives in your medication regimen as much
as possible. Adult children, in particular, can
help you keep track of what you're taking and
why. In the ev~nt that they may suddenly
become your caregiver, they will already be
acquainted with your medications doctor and
pharmacist.
Leo Buscaglia
The popular educator, lecturer
and author (1994, "Born for Love,"
Fawcett) who made hugging
acceptable again, has a different
take on fitness. "Each of us is a
unique whole," Leo Buscalgia
says, and anything that happens to
a single part affects all the parts.
"Therefore, a definition of 'fitness'
that is limited to the physical and
excludes the mind, the heart and
the soul is meaningless," he
explains.
Over his "70 productive and
magical years of life," Buscaglia
has made a wonderful discovery:
"When the heart smiles, the smile
is returned in kind. When the mind
shares with positive, winning
thoughts, everyone profits. And
when the heart is full of love, the
purpose of life becomes clear:
"This "unity of self," he says,
"assures us that each day will be a
celebration, and without further
effort, true 'fitness' follows."

Gloria Steinem
Although her slim figure seems
to belie it, Gloria Steinem, founding and contributing editor of Ms.

any exercise regularly in my life1except dancing in my teen-age
years-and running through airports ever since."
That was then. About five years
ago, Steinem discovered yoga and
has been a devoted, if irregular, fan
ever since. Contrary to its image,
she says, yoga "creates strength
and cardiovascular fitness as well
as flexibility and relaxation. It hasn't been around 5,000 years for
nothing-it's the only whole exer- ·
cise."

ROAST TURKEY
BREAST WITH SPIRITED
ORANGE GLAZE
Roast only the leanest part of the
bird-the breast. The glaze helps
keep the turkey moist and flavorful
and can be served over the meat in
place of gravy.
1 4-6 pound whole turkey breast
with bone
2 teaspoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon finely shredded
orange peel
1 cup dry white wine (or substi·
tute orange juice for all or part of
the wine)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Rinse turkey and pat dry with paper
towels. Place turkey breast, bone
side down, on a rack in a shallow
roasting pan. Brush with oil. Cover
loosely with foil. Roast for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan
stir together orange peel, wine or
orange juice, honey and cornstarch.
Cook and stir over medium heat
until thickened and bubbly. Cook
and stir 2 minutes more. Set aside.
Uncover turkey and baste with
some of the orange mixture. Cook
turkey 30 minutes more or until a
meat thermometer registers 165
degrees, basting with orange mixture occasionally. Reheat any
remaining orange mixture and serve
with turkey. Makes 12 servings.
