Lawyer asks
that 911 suits
be dismissed
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
After three months of nonmeetings, Wayland City Council
has conducted two special meetings
in the past two weeks to make decisions on issues facing the city.
The council met Wednesday,
March 29 and Thursday, April 7 to
discuss the sewage treatment project and the annexation of Shop
Fork and Stamper Branch.
The two projets are intertwined.
The council needs to have the two
smaller towns annexed into
Wayland and a preliminary engineer's report by July 1 to be able to
apply for federal grants for a
sewage treatment plant.
Anne Chaney, projects developer for the Big Sandy Area
Development District (BSADD),
said there is a real need for the system because the lots for homes are
too small for private septic tank's
county at no cost, is seeking to
have the two lawsuits consolidated
and dismissed. Pillersdorf filed a
response to the two lawsuits
Thesday in Division I in Floyd
Circuit Court
Last month, a class action lawsuit was flled against the court
seeking the return of over $800,000
paid by telephone customers over
the last five years for a 911 service.
The lawsuit alleges the monies
were collected illegally because the
court failed to adopt an ordinance
in February 1990 authorizing the
special 911 tax.
In a separate action, County
Attorney Jim Hammond, who is
the fiscal court's legal advisor,
sued the court seeking a determination on whether the court could
adopt an ordinance and make it
retroactive to February 1990.
Pillersdorf claims that state law
does not require the adoption of an
ordinance relating to collection of a
special tax for the establishment of
a 911 emergency service.
"'The statute in question does
not mandate tha1 an <Xdinance mcessarily be passed," Pillersdorf's
response to the lawsuits claims.
''The statute uses the word 'may'
rather than 'shall' (in reference to
the enactment of an ordinance)."
Pillersdcrf also claims that
Hammond is asking the court to
resolve a political issue.
"County Attorney Hammond
has ft.led a related action. • .in
which he seeks declaratory relief
against the political body he is
charged with the responsibility of
advising.'' the response alleges.

Five Floyd groceries are
suspended for liolations
•
Five stores in floyd County
have been disqualified from participating in a state supplemental
food program after an investigation by the attorney general's
office discovered discrepancies in
prices they had charged to the customers and to the state.
The undercover operation, done
at the request of the state
Department for Health Services,
revealed that Crum's Grocery,
Hitching Post Market, Hometown
IGA, Jenny Wiley Trading Post
and Jerry's Food Mart stores had
violated regu"'ations regarding the

Women, Infants and Children

Undercover agents from the

Floyd man is killed after
stepping into path of car
State police at Hazard are continuing an investigation into a
pedestrian accident Monday night
that killed a floyd County man.
Carlis Parks, 67, of Lackey, was
struck and killed by a vehicle
Monday evening as he was walking
along the roadway at Mousie in
Knott County.
Parks reportedly jumped into the
path of a vehicle driven by Samuel
L. Slone, 19, of Hindman, as Slone
attempted to avoid hitting Parks,
according to a report from state
police.
Slone was rounding a curve on
KY 550 and encountered Parks
walking along the roadway, state
police said.
Slone was taken to Our Lady of
the Way Hospital in Martin and
later transferred to the University of
Kentucky Medical Center, where he
was listed in stable condition. A
passenger in Slone's vehicle,
Thomas Slone of Mousie, received
minor injuries in the accident.
Parks was pronounced dead at
the scene by the Knott County
Coroner's Office.
It is not known if seat belts were
in use during the accident.
The accident is under investigation by trooper Bruce Kelley.

Over 200 vehicles participated
In a "caravan against Floyd
County corruption" Saturday In
downtown Prestonsburg. Protesters drove by the Floyd
County Courthouse honking
horns and waving white ribbons
In an effort to get the attention
of state Investigators. Organizer
Carolyn Rowe said the demonstration was to make a statement against alleged government corruption in the county.
Participants focused on the lack
of a 911 service, funds unaccounted for In the county's solid
waste department and monies
missing in the sheriffs' office.

A mistrial was declared and a
public defender was charged with
contempt of court Tuesday in relation to comments made during jury
selection in the extortion trial of
Sam Hall.
floyd Circuit Judge John David
Caudill held public defender
Harolyn Howard in contempt after
she asked potential jurors and
audience members if they believed
law enforcement officials were
"crooked."
Howard represents Hall, who
was indicted in 1992 on a charge of
theft by extortion for allegedly trying to extort $100,000 from floyd
Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson in
August 1992, in return for testimony in a federal drug case involving
a former deputy sheriff.
In her ftrst question to potential
jurors, Howard asked, "How many
of you have ever thought that your
law enforcement officials were
crooked? A show of hands, that
includes the audience."
Judge Caudill immediately
called or a five-minute recess and
ordered attorneys on both sides
into chambers. The judge emerged
a few minutes later and declared a
mistrial in the case.
"Those were completely inappropriate comments to direct to the
attention of those in the gallery,"
Judge Caudill told the jury panel.
"I am declaring a mistrial in the
case because of those comments,
Ms. Howard, and I will take action.
I am very disturbed about it.

question to members of the jury, it

Sex offender
gets 22 years
on guilty plea
by Susan ADen
Staff Writer
A 55-year-old Floyd County
man, who pleaded guilty to sex
~
abuse charges and fainted during
his sentencing March 24, was sentenced Tuesday to a 22-year prison
term.
Earl Rogers of Toler Creek was
allowed to remain seated during
Tuesday's sentencing before Aoyd
Circuit Judge John David Caudill.
At the March 24 sentencing,
Rogers fell to the floor in front of
the judge's bench during the proceedings and was removed from
the courtroom by P & B
Ambulance personnel. Rogers was
treated and
released from
Highlands Regional Medical
Center.
Rogers was indicted last year on
86 counts of various charges of sex
abuse and pleaded guilty in March
to five counts, including two
counts of first degree sodomy, two
counts of second degree rape and
one count of fllSt degree sexual
abuse.
Judge Caudill handed down two
ten-year prison terms to run concurrently on the sodomy charges;
five years each on the rape charges
to run consecutively with the two
ten-year terms; and two years on
the sex abuse charge, which is to
run consecutively to the other sentences.
Judge Caudill said that probation with a conditional discharge
would not be granted Rogers
because most of the crimes had
been committed against minors and

Sewage Systems
Sewage In Wayland ia a concern for Wayland City Council, which Ia
working on getting a sewage treatment plant for the city. Currently
sewage Ia dumped directly into streams from residents homea. The
above picture Ia an example of Wayland's sewage problem. (Photo by

wayIand----and leach systems.
Chaney also said that Wayland
is ineligible for most federal grants
because of the inadequate sewage
system. She said Wayland cannot
apply for housing money because
one of the requirements is to meet
current housing codes, one of
which is an adequate sewage system.
Bob Lewandowski, public
administration officer of BSADD,
is also working with Wayland. He
advises the council on how to
approach the annexation of the two
branches.
The main step is to find out how
many people want in, then the
council must adopt ordinances.
Wayland Police Chief David
Gray and Judy Ramey, of Wayland,
have surveyed residents of Shop
Fork and Stamper Branch and
found the majority, about 90 percent, is interested in being incorporated.
"Wayland's new corporate limits will be with residents who want
to be annexed," Mayor Gene
Mullins said.
Chaney said that there is a base
cost for the sewage treatment plant
regardless of the number of customers.
..It is better to get the two
branches annexed because it
Vi0 Iati0 ns
(Continued from page one)
spreads the cost across more people and lowers the rate," said
Chaney.
At this point, Chaney doesn't
know what the cost of the project
will be. She did say it will be at
least a million dollars.
Part of the reason for not knowing the cost is the engineer needs to
know how many people will be
served by the plant. The engineer
cannot make his survey until the
two branches have been annexed in
to the city.
Chaney said Wayland will be
applying for a grant with Kentucky
Community Development Block
Grant program; a grant and loan
with Rural Development Administration; and, depending on the cost
of the project, a grant with the
Appalachian Regional Commission.
Chaney said just because
Wayland applies for the grants
doesn't guarantee they will get
them. Federal grants are competitive. Wayland will be competing
against other towns throughout
Kentucky.
Mullins said Consol of
Kentucky is giving Wayland the
plant site.
Mullins and all council members were present for the special
called meetings.
---(Continued from page one)
the area had been investigated but
only five had violated the regulations. Violations ranged from overcharging to charging for food not
received by the investigator.
Crum's Grocery of Hi Hat was
suspended from the program for six
months for overcharging its WIC
customers.
The Hitching Post Market of
Hueysville and Hometown IGA of
Harold were disqualified for charging for foods not received by an
investigator at the time of purchase.
Hometown IGA had also overcharged a WIC customer, state officials said.
Jenny Wiley Trading Post of
Prestonsburg and Jerry's Food Mart
at Grethel were also banned from
the }X'ogram for charging for food
not authorized on the WIC check.
The investigation report also
noted that Jenny Wiley Trading
Post had overcharged and Jerry's
Food Mart had charged for foods
not received by an investigator at
the time of the purchase.
Jenny Wlley Trading Post cannot participate in the WIC program
for six months. Jerry's Food Mart
was removed from the program for
one year.
To regain authorization, a store
must reapply and be accepted.
When store owners enter the WIC
program, they agree to abide by
regulations governing the WIC program before they are authorized to
accept WIC checks, Hawkins said.

The judge said that he felt
Rogers was in need of rehabilitative
services and be could best receive
those services while in prison.
Rogers was given credit for approximately 300 days that he has served
in jail.
Rogers was immediately taken
into custody and lodged in the

would have been an appropriate
question, but not to involve the
spectators," Judge Caudill said
later.
Howard declined to comment on
the issue Tuesday.
Howard was cited for contempt
and a bearing bas been set for May
5 at 9 a.m.
Hall is accused of trying to get
money from the sheriff in exchange
for testimony in the federal drug
trial of former deputy Larry
Newsome.
Newsome was charged with
trafficking in prescription medication and he later pleaded guilty to
the charge and was sentenced to
serve time in a federal prison.
Sheriff Thompson said Tuesday
that the mistrial was regrettable, but
that anyone engaging in illegal
activities would be brought before
the court.
"The mistrial in the case is
unfortunate, but that is a matter for
the courts," Thompson said. ''The
case arose, however, because I vigorously support the prosecution of
any, any lawbreakers. This attempt
at extortion led to Sam Hall's arrest
because I refused to pay bush
New law requires
contractors to call
before they dig
Getting ready to do some digging? If you're not careful, you could
be fmed plus receive a bill for hundreds or thousands of dollars if you
sever an underground utility.
Under the new Kentucky Underground Facility Damage Prevention
Act, you could be fmed up to $1,000.
The act requires contractors to call
the BUD Center and underground
facility owners that are not BUD
Center members before digging.
South Central Bell reports bills to
repair their underground cables have
runanywherefrom$500to$450,000.
"Digging accidents are a major
cause of utility and telecommunications service disruption, and there's
no reason for that with services from
agencies like Kentucky's BUD-Call
Before You Dig Center," said South
Central Bell's Manager Paul Smith.
"One call to its 1-800-7 52-6007 tollfree number will alert South Central
Bell and other member companies to
locate underground utilities before
you dig."
Governor's council
to conduct hearing
The Governor's Council on Vocational Education will conduct a
public hearing on vocational education at the Jenny Wiley State Park
beginning at 9 a.m. on April 21.
The hearing is conducted to give
the general public the opportunity to
express views on vocational education. Persons wishing to address the
Council may register in the lobby of
the May Lodge between 8 a.m. and 9
a.m. on April21.
The Council is composed of thirteen members who are appointed by
Governor Brereton Jones. Seven of
the members represent business and
industry and six represent the public
sector. The Council advises the Governor and the State Board for Adult
and Technical Education on ways to
strengthen vocational education in

"This lawsuit is nothing but a
manipulative effort to shift any
potential responsibility away from
himself, and to ask the court to
resolve a political question."
Pillersdorf claims that the court
should not be involved in "deciding
such political questions" because it
would "invite a steady stream of litigants to come to court and question political decisions ..."
Also, the response seeks to add
the Kentucky All Lines Fund, the
insurance carrier for the fiscal
court, to the lawsuit because the
company failed to provide for the
defense of the court.
" ...KALF has a duty to defend
(the fiscal court) under the errors

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
Liar, liar,
pants on fire.
by Scott Perry
District 1 Magistrate Gerald
DeRossett has taken an interesting, if not expected, approach to
the issues which have many a
Floyd Countian up in arms.
He's blamed everything on us.
What's more, he's called us
liars.
Ordinarily, we'dshrugoffsuch
anaffrontas the standard method
of operation for a politician beset by public antipathy.
We're in a bit of a mood,
though, and not so inclined to let
this one pass.
Liars are we?
DeRossett says so because we
reported that Judge-Executive
Bob Meyer said there was not
enough money to separate 911
taxes into an exclusiv~ account
No lies there, Meyer did say
there was not enough money to
separate 911 revenues.
Perhaps Magistrate DeRossett
• •
meant to call the judge-executive a liar and just got his wires
crossed.
Maybe DeRossett meant we
were lying when we told him, in
print, a year ago that he forgot to
adopt an ordinance authorizing
the 911 surcharge in the first
place.
Well, no, we weren't lying
about that either.
Fact is, the fiscal court, Magistrate DeRossett included, has
been living a lie for upwards of
five years, collecting taxes the
court had no right to collect and
spending money collected illegally.
Perhaps he'd like to explain to
a grand jury his reasoning for
allowing that to happen.
No need for that.
We know what he'd say.
It wasn't his fault.
It was ours.
After all, we're the liars.
Aren't we?

Thanks for success
of the "caravan"
Editor:
As a coordinator and spokesperson for the highly successful "Caravan Against Floyd County Corruption" we would like to express our
thanks to Capt Bob Forsythe, Sgt.
Mitch Bailey and the Kentucky State
Police, to Prestonsburg Mayor Jerry
Fannin, Prestonsburg Police Chief
Darrell Conley and the Prestonsburg
City Police, to Virgil Conn and the
Allen City Police, and to James Burke
and the Martin City Police. Thanks
so much for helping to synchronize
the "Caravan," it moved so smoothly
and without problems.
Thanks to Dale McKinney and the
staff of WMDJ Radio for all their
assistance in promoting the "Caravan," giving out white ribbons and
for the air time given during the moving of the "Caravan."
And, to all you wonderful Floyd
Countians who were brave enough to
get out and make a statement, we
applaud you. We believe we got the
message across, loud and clear.
Let's keep on, standing up, speaking out, and doing something about
what we believe in, and together we
can make a change.
Since we are all products of
our environments, it seems logical to assume that making an
impact on juvenile crime will re·
quire changing the environments of juvenile offenders.
Jail is not necessarily the
change we're looking for either,
since it often mirrors the environment that produced the crim ina! in the first place.
An inner-citygang member just
becomes an inner-prison gang
member, and that provides little
incentive toward rehabilitation.
Kentucky is exploring new
ways to treat youthful criminals,
including the development of
military-style "boot camps" and
opening the records of violent
offenders to public inspection.
While both may have some
impact on juvenile crime, neither will offer permanent results
if youths are permitted to return
to the environments that produced their wayward ways.
While we're certainly no expert on the issue, we suspect
that most youth crimes result
from youths with too much time
on their hands and too few activities at which they can direct
their energies.
If we can develop programs
that cut out the time for crime,
we may discover that boot
camps and juvenile detention
centers will become less necessary as time goes by.
A few simple rules
regarding child abuse
Editor:
April is Child Abuse Prevention
Month. Child abuse may be in the
form ofphysical abuse, sexual abuse,
emotional abuse, orneglect Physical
abuse is the intentional injury of a
child by hitting, shaking, kicking,
biting, and even burning. Sexual
abuse is exposing a child to sexual
contact, intercourse, or sexually explicit material. Emotional abuse is
the maltreatment of a child by derogatory comments, threats, or ignoring them. Neglect occurs when
children do not receive the proper
care to keep them safe and healthy.
All abuse is illegal.
Child abuse complaints have been
increasing. The number of child
sexual abuse cases investigated by
the Kentucky State Police, during the
1993/94 fiscal year, increased 40.9
percent over the previous fiscal year.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Human
Resources reports an almost 50 percentincrease in child sexual and child
physical abuse complaints, between
To support that assumption,
legal authorities ought to study
the successes small towns like
ours have at keeping youth
crimes at a minimum.
Whether it's by design or accident, small towns traditionally
offer enough organized
activities ... usually athletic
activities... to keep their kids busy
and out of mischief.
Sure, we have our share of
miscreants and ne'er-do-wells,
but they are decided minorities
when you study the big picture.
While our rural setting establishes some physical barriers to
the escalation of juvenile crime,
we've been making some proper
moves over the years to take a
bite out of crime.

ago, our hometown had four

Caravan gets wide support -Letters to the editor
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Saturday's "caravan against floyd
County corruption" drew over 200
vehicles in a parade through downtown Prestonsburg and three local
county officials were on hand to witness the event.
In what might be called a 90sstyle protest, the procession of 235
cars began arriving at the countyseat
around 10:30 am. with horns blaring
and white ribbons waving during a
drive-by demonstration at the courthouse.
Caravan organizer Carolyn Rowe
stood on the sidewalk outside the
courthouse and waved to participants
as they drove through Prestonsburg.
Rowe and other organizers are hoping to gamer enough attention to spur
state officials to take a look at county
government to determine if any
wrongdoing has taken place.
Rowe said Tuesday that she was
pleased with Saturday's turnout.
"Saturday was to make a statement and let the people of floyd
County make a statement and they
did very well," Rowe said. "I'm real
pleased with the people that carroe
out It was brave of them. This (demonstration) was not aimed at any one
person. And, not Bob Meyer. I think
he is doing a good job."
Rowe said that she is not aware of
any other planned events, at this time,
by the group.
Organizers have cited three instances of alleged government corruption as reasons for Saturday's protest-afive-yearwaitfora911 emergency service; a reported $2.5 million unaccounted for in user fees from
the county's solid waste department;
and approximately $26,000 that is
reportedly missing from the sheriffs
office.
floyd Circuit Judge John David
Caudill,Judge-Executive Bob Meyer
and Sheriff Paul Hunt Thompson sat
outside the courthouse during the
protest and were on hand to discuss
concerns with demonstrators.
Only a few participants discussed
issues with the three officials and
most residents praised the changes in

county government initiated by
Meyer.
Meyer was appointed as judgeexecutive last month after the February death of Judge-Executive John
M.Stumbo.
One of Meyer's fmt acts was to
recommend to magistrates that they
move the monthly fiscal court meetings from the cramped meeting room
in the courthouse annex to the spacious circuit courtroom on the second floor of the courthouse. Meyer
said Saturday that he recommended
the move in order to allow the public
more participation at the meetings.
The new judge-executive has also
spoken openly and candidly about
issues, revealing that funds were not
readily available to place over
$800,000 in a separate 911 bank account; urging magistrates not to purchase three new pickup trucks because of the county's tight financial
situation; and vowing to make county
government open to the people.
Last September, Sheriff Thompson announced that there was approximately $20,000 missing from
hi.~ department and in May 1994, he
requested an investigationby the state
attorney general's office and a special audit from State Auditor Ben
Chandler.
The special audit has not been
completed, Thompson said, and officials in the attorney general's office
are awaiting the outcome of the audit
before conducting any type of an
investigation.
Last month, members of the Solid
Waste Commission had questions
concerning the results of a special
audit of the solid waste department
which noted that $2.5 million in delinquent customer accounts were not
accounted for.
A special probe into the solid waste
department was conducted last year
after members of the solid waste board
were removed from their posts. Sheriff Thompson seized the solid waste
records, which were held for state
auditors.
floyd Circuit Judge John David
Caudill named Bob Meyer as custodian of the solid waste department
after former board members voted to
double residential garbage rates in
December 1993.
Series Black Sox Scandal. Baseball
historians will be quick to remind the
lesser informed public that this World
Series scandal was one of baseball's
darkest momen~ and resulted from
the attempt of certain players on the
Chicago White Sox to "throw" the
series in favor of the Cincinnati Reds.
Cincinnati went on to win the World
Series and several of the Chicago
White Sox were banned from professional baseball for life. The sport is
such an important part of our psyche,
not to mention our summertimes, that
its fans will eventually forgive, but
they will long not forget their pain
and anxiety resulting from the Summerof'94 Travesty. Unlike the 1919
Black Sox Scandal the Summer of
'94 Travesty did not focus on the
malfeasance of one baseball team,
but rather on the whole of the major
leagues. Every player and owner in
the American League and the National League participated in the demise of the '94 season!
How dare they intentionally cut
short the baseball season! How dare
they intentionally abandon the annual ritual surrounding the World
Series! How dare they intentionally
and unmitigatingly abandon the loyal
common fan! And flnally, bow dare
they set such a bad, self-serving and
irresponsible example to the youth of
America!
Basically the baseball club owners no longer want to be dictated to by
the players' union and they want to
"cap" the salaries of their employees.
On the other hand, the professional
baseball players and their union are
staunchly opposed to a salary "cap"
of any kind and they also want the
freedom to play forthe team of their
choice. These are very simple explanations to very difficult problemsproblems which may be swept under
the proverbial rug, but are not going
to go away anytime soon.
Now we read that the two warring
factions have kissed and made-up
and that by the end of April the American public will once again be privileged tl' "'atch and listen to its grand
ol' gam~. That's great! But what was
gained from the Joss of the '94 baseball season? From all accounts, the
owners are still the owners and the
players are still the players. The owners must still deal daily with the players' union. Theplayersmuststill play
for their contracted team. And each
player must sign a contract for which
there is no "cap" on the salary to date.
Without doubt I fail to see any resolve that brought the '94 baseball
season to its early end. I likewise fail
to see any guarantees that the problems experienced in the summer of
'94 will not again appear and sooner
rather than later.
Now after all of the foolishness
that professional baseball has put its
admiring public through, it opens its
arms wide offering us again within
its fold. But, now its admiring public
questions its sincerity and questions
its honesty, too. The very essence of
the game's integrity is likewise scrutinized. Now its admiring public is
somewhat skeptical and not nearly so
eager to rush back into those beckoning arms without proof of sincerity
and unconditional honesty. Yes, its
admiring public will patronize the
home team and root for the underdog,
but it will not soon be made a part of
a game which it totally subsidizes,
yet is not respected nor considered by
any of the other parties for its continued contribution and prosperity. The
purse strings are controlled by the
"so called" admiring public and both
the players and owners should understand this very basic fact. Without the
fan, there is no professional baseball.
Without the fan, the owners receive
no revenue to pay their professional
players because the multi-million
dollar television deals no longer exist
simply due to lack of fan interest.
Without the fan, the professional baseball players are no longer professional because now they are no longer
compensated for their talent. Without the admiring public professional
baseball would no longer exist-bottom line and end of statement.
So, what was gained from the summer of '94 baseball player's strike?
Nothing. Not one positive. The admiring public is still in the dark. The
player's have promised the owners
that they would not strike during the
'95 season and would play under the
'94 contracts. The owners in return
would simply pay the players the '94
contract rates for '95 games. Sounds
like a real deal to me. It also sounds
like the game is fmally on solid
ground. Yeah, right, and if you believe that, I've got a 200-foot yacht
moored at the Hueysville Boatdock
and Marina for sale cheap.
So where does professional baseball go from here? The answer is
completely in the hands of the ownersandplayers. Unlike the 1919Biack
Sox Scandal, there is no Judge
Kennesaw Mom1tain Landis to restore our faith and right the wrong.
And like it or not, of all the multimillionaires playing today' s baseball,
not a one of them can do for baseball
what George Herman "Babe" Ruth
did after the 1919 Scandal. The admiring public is well informed and is
not going to continue supporting
power plays from the owners nor
childish tantrums from the players. If
disagreements between the players
and owners cannot be resolved without lockouts or strikes, and such disagreements continue to disrupt our
beloved baseball season, then all
would continue to not be all right in
Mudville, because strike three will
be called by the "admiring public"
and more than Mighty Casey will be
going down.

Fiscal Court finds 911 funds
~
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
floyd County's Fiscal Court appeared to be relieved Friday with
Judge-Executive Bob Meyer's annoWtcement that enough money had
been found to reimburse the 911 fund.
Meyer explained to magistrates
that funds, which had been classified
for payment of fringe benefits in the
road and Local Govemment Economic Assistance (LGEA) funds, had
been reclassified and placed in l.he
general fund to cover over $800,000
in 911 fees collected for the past five
years.
..
..
..
MeyersaidTuesdaythatthefringe
benefit funds were budgeted in the
road and LGEA accounts, but were
being charged against the county's
general fund. The county operates
fmancially from a general operations
account, which consists of the geneml, road, jail and LGEA funds.
The benefit expenses, which inelude retirement, health insurance and
Social Security for county road workers, should have been charged against
the road and LGEA accounts, Meyer
said, instead of being paid out of the
general fund.
With the shift in funds from the
road and LGEA accounts to the geneml fund, enough monies were available toput$833,304 ina separate 911
account.
At Friday's special flscal court
meeting, magistrates told audience
members that the money had been
available all along to set up the special 911 bank account.
"I think people want to know that
itisinoneaccount,"MagistrateJackie
Edford Owens said Friday. "People
start rumors and we have to prove
that money's been there with the 911
title on it."
Magistrate Gerald DeRossett
chided the media over reports that the
911 monies were not available for
transfer out of the general fund into a
special account.
"If anybody had come to David
Allen (county treasurer) and asked,
there would be no problem,"
DeRossett said. "I hate to be called a
crook all the time."
Last month, the court voted to
establish a separate 911 bank account
and transfer over $803,000, which
represents the amo•mt telephone customcrs have paid over the last five
years. Meyer later said that there was
not enough money available in the
general fund to transfer to the 911
account.
Meyer said last week that he and
David Allen had spent two days going over the county•s budget and had
found enough money in the road and
LGEA fringe benefit account to transfer to the 911 account
Meyer told magistrates Friday that
there was a lot of confusion concerning the issue due to the setup of the
county's accounting system.
"Nothing has been illegally done,"
Meyer said, "but there is confusion
about where the cash is and the budgetary process. I hope the 911 issue is
laid to rest and we can get on with
getting the 911 system in place."
In response to comments concerning 911 from David resident Mary
Hughes, Owens said that magistrates
may just opt out of operating a 911
system.
"It's possible that we'll not fool
with 911 and give the people their
money back." Owens said.
"I don't think it ought it be up to
you, Edford," Hughes told Owens. "I
want a 911 system."
Owens told Hughes that he felt the
Kentucky State Police ought to operate the coWlty's 911 system because
"the state police is not in politics."
"We don't need politics in 911,"
Owens said. "911 is something that
don't need to be politicked with."
Hughes agreed that politics had no
place in 911, but she advocated that
the system be operated in the county.
Meyer said that that was a decision for the court, but county officials
needed to look at the most efficient
way to operate a 911 system.
"It's my hope that it can be addressed," Meyer said. "This whole
discussion would be moot if we had a
911 system in place. It's my understanding that folks would be happier
if there is going to be a 911 system in
place. I think any taxpayer bas a
voice in the issue."
Bill Foley, who attended Friday's
meeting, told Meyer, "I don't know
where you come from, but you
dropped in at a good time."
In other action Friday, the court
voted to hire at no cost Prestonsburg
attorney Ned Pillersdorf to defend
two lawsuits filed in connection with
the 911 issue.
A class action lawsuit was fLied
which seeks the return of all 911
monies collected to telephone customcrs because the court did not adopt
an ordinance authorizing the 89-cent
per month surcharge.
County Attorney Jim Hammond
ftled a separate lawsuit seeking a
determination from the court whether
the fiscal court could adopt an ordinance and make it retroactive to February 1990.
Meyer presented the names of
three attorneys to the court,
Pillersdorf, Arnold Turner and Dick
FitzpatrickofLexington. Meyer said
that Pillersdorf had offered to defend
the lawsuits at no cost because he felt
the county's insurance carrier should
be responsible for any fees.
Fitzpatrick proposed a $150 per
hour fee and the court would have to
work out an agreement with Turner,
Meyersaid. Thejudge-executive said
that the court would get "good representation" from any of the three lawyers.
Owens wanted to review the issue
and asked if counsel could be named
at a later time.
Meyer explained that timing was
critical because responses to the two
lawsuits were due soon.
Also Friday:
• magistrates authorized an agreement with Appalachian Racing to
haul ftll dirt from a site near the Allen
Park swimming pool to Thunder
Ridge racetrack provided that repairs
be made to the park road and that the
companyberesponsibleforanydamages that may occur by removing dirt

• the court approved a ·budget
amendment to include a $150,000

Stumbo cafeteria temporarily
closed by health department
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
John M. Stumbo Elementary's
lunchroom was closed for part of a
day last week by the Floyd County
Health Department when a public
healtb inspector deemed that an "imm.inent public health hazard" existed
at the school.
During an inspection of the school
on April 5, Russell Wallace, a public
health environmentalist for the Floyd
County Health Department, ordered
the school cafeteria closed immediately.
In his written report of the incident for the health department,
Wallace noted tbat the cafeteria was
possibly contaminated "from water
backed up in the restroom." Wallace
also indicated he noticed a "strong
odor" from the water.
Waste water was surfacing on the
floor of tbe cafeteria because floor
drains were blocked. the inspector
reported. He ordered the cafeteria
closed until floor drains were repaired
and tbe lunchroom had been properly'
sanitized.
School principal Fonzo Akers said
that drainage problems had just surfaced and he bad maintenance personnel working on the clogged drains
when Wallace showed up to make his
inspection.
"It was unfortunate timing," Akers
said. "It had just happened. It was a
temporary drain stoppage."
"We were back in business,
though,almostbeforewewentoutof
business," he said.
,
Later that day, Wallace rescinded
his order to cease operations because
the floor drains had been repaired
during his inspection of the school.
He also indicated the school cafeteria
could resume operations after some
of the cafeteria equipment bad been
sanitized.
Akers said school staff had disinfected the whole floor although only
a small puddle of water had formed
around the drain area.
Thehealthdepartmentwillinspect
the facility within ten days to ensure
that the problem does not surface
again.
Aseparateinspectionofthescbool
building also indicated several areas
of the school needed repairs to the
floor and light fixtures and several
rooms need shades or blinds.

Allen City Commissioners voted
Monday to eliminate one of the city's
two law enforcement positions after
reviewing a resignation from one
police officer.
At Monday's regular commission
meeting, commissioners voted after
almost an hour in closed session to do
away with night patrols in the city.
Commissioners went into closed
session to discuss the resignation of
officer Tony Conn. Rather than accept Conn's resignation, the board
voted to do away with the position.
"'The night patrol has not worked
out,"MayorChris Waugh said. "(Police chief) Virgil (Conn) is available
24-hoursaday. We have tried to have
someone in this position, butithasn't
worked out."
Waugh said the move will also aid
the city financially.
Other action Monday included:
• discussion on the use of a building tbe city purchased adjacent to
city hall; and
• the announcement that Jerry
Kinzer had agreed to serve on the
city's ethics commission.
All commissioners were present
at Monday's meeting.

Job Corps has ~'zero tolerance''
for students who use drugs
•
TheJobCorps' strictprogramprohibiting violence and drug use by its
students recently got even tougher.
The Carl D. Perkins Job Corps
Center has implemented a new, expanded "Zero Tolemnce for Violence/
Drugs and Alcohol."
The new expanded policy added
seven offenses of violence to its already tough Zero Tolerance guidelines. The new guidelines will require an automatic termination from
the Job Corps Progmm for any studentfound by a Center Review Board
to be in violation of one of these
seven offenses:
• Possession of a gun or an illegal
weapon on the center or while under
the center's supervision;
• Assault with intent to do bodily
harm to a student or staff, with or
without the use of a weapon;
• Sexual assault, with or without
bodily injury;
• The threat of assault with intent
to intimidate or coerce any student or
staff;
• Robbery and/or extortion;
• Arson; and
• Arrest for a felony on or off the
center property.
The policy requires any student
charged with any of these offenses to
be sent home or removed from the
general population of the center during a 48-hour period in which evidence will be gathered regarding the
incident
All students will have an opportunity to make a written statement in
their regard before going home. They
will also have the opportunity to appeal to the Regional Job Corps office
in Atlanta, Georgia.
In addition to the violence aspect
of the new Zero Tolerance for Violence and Drugs Policy, there are two
drug related offenses which will also
result in automatic termination. Students caught in possession or the sale
of drugs on the center or while under
center supervision and students convicted of drug use, possession or sale
of drugs off the center property,
whether it is deemed a felony or misdemeanor offense, will automatically
be suspended.
On May 1, all students involved in
the Job Corps progmm will be required to become drug free or be
terminated from the program. Students must sign a Drug-Free Certificate stating that they under the policy
and promise to abide by it Students
will be tested for drug use, and any
student testing positive before the
May 1 deadline will be given until
May 1 to become drug-free.
The Job Corps initiated the ''Zero
Tolerance for Violence/Drugs and
Alcohol" program on June 16 last
year. Job Corps centers had to develop and implement the policy by
December 9. Staff members underwent training before implementing
the program.
In February, the program was expanded to include the seven additional offenses of violence and two
drug-related offenses.
A number of Floyd County students were named to the president's

God loolred around His garden, and

God saw you were getting tireder,
and a cure was not to be,
So He pur His anns around you,
and whipered, "come with me!"
With tearful eyes we watched you
suffer and fade away,
Although we loved you dearly, we

He knew you were suffering, He knew
you were in pain,
He knew in Heaven you would never
hurt again.
The road was getting rougher, the
hills harder to climb,
So He closedyourwearyeye/ids, and
said, "peace be thine. "
A golden heart stopped beating, you
are now at peaceful rest,
God brolre our hearts, to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
But you didn't go alone, for a part of
us went with you,
The day God called you home.
If tears
could be a stairway and
memories a lane,
We'd walk all the way to heaven, to
bring you home again.
God's garden must be beautiful,
Because He only takes the best.

A heart ofgold stopped beating, two
shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to u.s,
He takes the very best.
Little did we know, that morning,
the sorrow that day would bring,
the end was sudden, the shock
severe;
We never knew death was so near.

evening shadows fall,
We hear your voice, we see your face,
Your memory is with u.s all.

Baby, we love and miss you so much.

Baseball players better be ready
for reality; UK fans rally to
coach Rick Pitino
Baseball. The real players were
back last week, national media outlets reported. Wrong. Fans will decide what reality is when the season
opens in two weeks. Baseball needs a
commissioner. Since Bob Dole bas
other plans, Orioles owner Peter
Angelos could be best man for the
job.
Surprising, the lambaste from
CNN's Larry King at replacement
players. ''They took: advantage of a
situation for their own personal gain
and they donotbavemy sympathy."
Yo, Larry, aren't you and CNN
taking advantage of the 'situation' in
a Los Angeles courtroom for personal gain (and ratings?). Only in
America.
KENTUCKIANS
RALLY TO PITINO
Caused quite a flap when a Detroit
Free Press sports writer strafed Rick
Pitino following Kentucky's loss to
North Carolina, saying DaCoacb was
outcoacbed by Dean Smith. I did not
see the article, but let's be honest. It
happened. The Smith's outsmarted
UK. But what happened since must
put a smile on Pintino's face. Kentucky fans have been furious in defense of Der Coach. Loyalty is always an admirable thing and one
common to the Kentucky spirit
IS MR. BASKETBALL -~
GOOSE II?
Says here Mr. Basketball Cbarles
Thomas will be to Minnesota what
JackGivenswastoKentucky,aplayer
wbodoesn'tlooklikehe'sdoingmuch
until you pick up a boxscore andread
I9 points, nine rebounds, three assists and no tmnovers...Anybody else
notice, out of 26 players selected to
all-stars, boys and girls and including
alternates, none is a UK
signee'? ...Wait for it, one or both of
these all-stars will become solid, solid
college players and have a good time
doing it-Billy Ray Fawns, Montgomery Co. and Will Carlton, Anderson Co. Both are undecided on a
college, but several are interested.
BLOUNT IS BRANDED
Mark Blount is a problem. Unable
or unwilling to discipline himself to
settle into high school, earn a diploma, Blount is the latest Lloyd
Daniels. Keep Mark Blount out He
is trouble.
That about sums up a Louisville
newspaper account of the 6-lOcenter
prospect from South Carolina, West
Virginia and New York or wherever?
The prospect whose name tops Denny
Crum' s recruiting list.
Certainly, the University of Louisville basketball program has been
no citadel of rehabilitation for wayward young athletes, NBA wannabes.
Jerome Harmon, Anthony Cade and
Tyrone Nesby are among the
forgettables. But branding an IS-yearold as trouble feels wrong, unfair.
Since Denny Crum has two NCAA
titles, a place in the Hall of Fame to
his credit, and security for life, why
not an emphasis on adding a bookend
to one of the finest developmental
successes in the annals of the sport,
Felton Spencer.
Could be, if Blount signed with U
ofL, spent time with Spencer to learn
what life's real score is, he could
grow into a Sports Illustrated cover
boy at 22 instead of being written off
as nothing but trouble at I8.
COLLEGE HOOPS '95-96
The ravings of a basketball junkie.
In a college preseason poll for I99596 coming to a newsstand near you, a
shakeup is on the way.
First, the coming out (too) early
for the NBA draft will cost college
hoops' fans Joe Smith, Marcus
Camby, Corliss Williamson, and
Mario BeMett.
And second, a dandy dozen for
your consideration.
1. North Carolina if Rasheed
Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse stay,
along with Dante Calabria, Jeff
Mcinnis to go with another dynamite
recruiting class.
2. Kentucky. Chemistry will be
better, on-court decision-making likewise, and coaching will be as passionate as ever.
3. Kansas. Jayhawks will be better
than 25 wins. And more dangerous
without Greg Ostertag.
4. Villanova. Four starters back
from 25-win team, including Kerry
Kittles.
5. Georgetown. Allan Iverson will
be better and less selfish on a team
that returns five regulars for another
John Thompson patented 'us against
tbe world' run.
6. Virginia. Four starters back from
club that won 25. (Owensboro native) Coach Jeff Jones is brightest
star among newbreed yuppycoaches.
7. Utah. Rick Majerus returns all
regulars from a 28-wins team.
8. Louisville. IfDeMy Crum lands
6-11 Mark Blount and he is eligible
as a freshman, Cards are back in the
penthouse.
9. Arkansas. Could be the game's
most interesting rebuilding job.
10. UCLA. Ed O'Bannon and '95
chemistry bard to replace.
11. Syracuse. All but Lawrence
Moten return.
I2. Purdue. Gene Keady, four
regulars and good recruiting class.
Teams who will surprise: Missouri, Duke, Cincinnati, Memphis,
Georgia and, ready for this, Tennes-
see.
Don't like my 'No. I' pick for
'96? Then those of the, uh, experts.
Dick Vitale: "If certain players
come out (for the NBA draft), I think
No. I next year has got to be Kentucky. Rick Pitino has a solid nucleus
and adds Wayne Turner and Derek
Anderson.IlikeKentucky,thenKanDigger Phelps: "Rick Pitino is
next year's Jim Harrick. Kentucky
fans want a championship bad. It's
Rick Pitino's turn."
Phelps put a monkey on Pitino's
back, right? Wrong. It's a
gorilla...with all her relatives.
REX CHAPMAN
Former Apollo and UK star, and
current leading scorer of the Washington Bullets, Rex Chapman had a
special interest in this year's Kentucky Boys State Basketball Tournament
Rex's wife Bridgett is a graduate
ofBreckinridge County High. Moreover, Rex's father-in-law was pretty
involved with the basketball team.
Dean Hobbs was the Tigers' head
coach.
''During the (State) finals Rex telephoned a Lexington radio station and
asked them to lay the phone down
next to a radio speaker so be could
listen to the game," Hobbs said.
Hard to believe Chapman is now
27, father of two daughters, and a
veteran ofeight years in the NBA. He
plans to play two more seasons before retiring.
DIS 'NDATA
Predictions: Ron Mercer to...? It
said Kentucky in this space six weeks
ago and I'm sticking with that ...The
Kentucky high school basketball allstars were chosen last weekend. I'm
picking a double sweep this summer.
Kentucky over Indiana, boys and
girls.
Murray X' s Macy and Pelphrey.
For a job that seems to change too
frequently, Murray State's basketball coaching job is popular enough.
Eighty-seven applicants submitted
their names to replace Scott Edgar,
among them ex-UK stars Kyle Macy
and John Pelphrey. Both were eliminated early. Pelphrey was putting his
toe in the water, but Macy did have
one interesting plus. Logic says he
could recruit in Kentucky (see how
many 5-I7-year-olds in your community are named Kvle.)
OOPS, DIDN'T MAKE IT,
AGAIN DEPT•
Another college season and
NCAA did not get by without mention of Texas Western's 'all black'
starting five beating Ky's 'all-white'
team in I966-Sports lllustrated,
AprillO.Just wondering-IfDuke's
all-white starters, led by Bob Verga
and Jack Martin, had beaten Kentucky in 1966 semi-finals and played·
Texas Western in the fmals, would it:
be news 29 seasons later?
Bad omen? Bill Curry's University of Kentucky football team is two
weeks deep into spring practice and
has already suffered three significant
blows.
Backup quarterback Matt Hobbie
quit the team to concentrate full time
on baseball; starting center Adam
Kane, who transferred from Notre
Dame, left the team last week for
personal reasons; middle linebacker
Matt Neuss bas given up football;
and Saturday's practice was cancelled
because of a personal shortage at
guard.
Trying times indeed for UK football.
FINAL FOUR REFLECTIONS
• The UCLA-Arkansas game made
me wonder about the millions of dollars and media hype wasted promoting Super Bowls that never live up to
expectations, while the NCAA's Final Four grows in popularity. Psst.
NCAA championship game is played
two days after the Final Four while
Super Bowls avail themselves to
media herd's scorched earth coverage for two weeks. How much longer
can NCAA powerbrokers resist not
only the popularity of March Madness, but profits?
• Reasons why Nolan Richardson
was gracious this time around: 1. He
watched videoofla~t year's tantrums;
2. Vindication, coaching a team back
to the title game; 3. He feels appreciated by the media who presented him
the U.S. Basketball Writers Award
for Courage; 4. Hearing his name
connected with an NBA coaching
vacancy; 5. Vitale gave him a nickname, Sty lin'. Anyone notice
Richardson never mentioned the
words respect and/or black during
the NCAA's?
• Best quote at the end came from
CBS's Billy Packer: ''The TV ratings
(that told us viewership was down for
the NCAA Tournament) are parallel
to the SAT scores. They are both used
by lazy people who don't have the
time to talk about reality."
PICKING A FIGHT WITH
PACKER IS GOOD IDEA
LeandrnReilly ofNewsSportpicking a fight with Billy Packer was
sexist and silly, but smart. Reilly
scolded CBS's hoops analyst for
"having a problem with women's
basketball," after Packer questioned
Nielsen ratings that said the UCoiUlTennessee NCAA fmal was watched
by more fans than the national! y tele-

vised Kentucky-Arkansas game Jan.
29. What do you think?
Packer did not criticize women's
sport, but questioned the TV ratings
system. Never mind, the mini-flap
served its purpose for Reilly. Getting
into a verbal tiff with Packer got her
some attention.
PARTING SHOT
''Theratingssystemisover. I guarantee you by (the year) 2000 there
won't be Nielsen (ratings). You'll be
able to poll every TV set."-Billy
Packer.

right now," said Cope.
Cope is currently maintaining his
highest position ever in a Winston
Cup points battle. I asked Denick if
he could continue the pace be has set
opening the '95 season.
Copesaid, "We'reprobablyalittle
higher right now than we thought we
would be at this point. We've bad
some good runs, and we haven't had
much grief. You just got to go out
each week and approach each race
track the same way. You have to
qualify well, maintain your position,
stay out of trouble, and just try to
fmish each race as high as you can.
And if possible, no DNF's.
"We just want to be a top-ten
consistent race car period. If we do
that, everything else will come along
with it That's the way we look at
things."
Quite frankly, it is good to see
Bobby Allison once again experiencing success after all his family has
been through in recent years.

Back in 1990, Derrike Cope
shocked the entire racing community
with a victory in the highly prestigious Daytona 500.
That same year, Cope went on to
win a second race on the very demanding Dover track.
But since then, Cope's Winston
Cup racing career bas been mediocre
at best. Heading into this year's competition, Cope bad only one top-five
fmisbsince 1991. Andbisbestcareer
fmisb in the fmal point standings
is 18th which came with his two victories in 1990.
These numbers clearly illustrate
the sub-par performance of the west
coast native.
Cope's formative years on the circuit were spent with car owner Bob
Whitcomb. While piloting the
Whitcomb car, Cope grabbed two
wins, three top-fives and 11 top-tens.
However, following the 1992 season, Whitcomb closed the doors on
his shops and this move left Cope
rideless heading into the '93 season.
Cope then signed with former legendary driver turned car owner, Cale
Yarborougb at the onset of the '93
season.
Cope's
association
with
Yarborough was of the turbulent variety. Cope drove the entire '93 tour
with Yarborough, but lasted only 16
races in 1994. In that year and a half,
Cope was only able to manage a
single top ten performance.
With 12 races remaining in '94,
Cope signed on with Bobby Allison,
and Cope bas been on a steady rise
ever since.
Cope currently sits in the lOth
place spot in the point standings. He
isconsistentlyqualifyingthecarwell,
and be already has three top-tens and
a top-five to his credit.
I recently spoke with the former
Daytona 500 champion about his
new-found success.
"Obviously, I'm with a great race
team. All the guys have been producing some great race cars for me, and
with the sponsors coming on with the
funding, we've been able to implement a lot of new things with the
team. All this has combined to elevate us and that is definitely the key

Hyou approach winter fishing like
you approach fishing a cold front, you'll
probably see your success rate go up.
Jw;t think of the season as d1e year's
longest cold front!
Fish stick tight to cover, and they
tend to be inactive- but they still have
to eat. And there may be no better
artificial bait than a jig and trailer.
Many angler; associate this lrait only
with flippin', but it's very effective when
crawled slowly through rocks and brush
in deeper water...you know, ilie kind of
places you find bass when a cold front
moves through.
Winter fi.~hing i~ very similar, and a
jig will produce for you.

10-fish daily limit on white bass,
yellow bass, striped bass and their
hybrids (singly orcombined) with no
more than five fish daily exceeding
15 inches.
- At Cave Run Lake, remove the
15-inch size limit on largemouth ar1d

Kidd homers as
Betsy Layne mercies
South Floyd 13-1
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Lance Jones scattered five South
Floyd hits and Brad Kidd drilled a
two-run home run as the Betsy Layne
Bobcats won their fifth straight game,
a 13-1 mercy win, over the Raiders.
The game was called after five innings.
Jones gave up two hits to Terrance
Mullins and two 10 Travis Johnson
and a fourth inning single to Shawn
Hamilton.
He worked five innings and allowed one run on five hits. He fanned
four and walked two batters, having
excellent control. He hit one batter.
T.T. Pack took the loss for South
Floyd in going four innings. Pack
allowed all 13 runs on 13 bits. He
walked two while striking out one.
Betsy Layne led 4-0 after the first
irming. Toby Newsome singled in
the flrst run and Willie Meade's long
double 10 left field that bounced over
thefence,scoredthesecondrun. Two
other runs scored, but were unearned.
Jones retired the first four batters
he faced until Johnson singled with
one out in the second. Mullins reached
him for a scratch single in the fourth
and Johnson collected a double in the
same inning.
Clabe Hall, who reached on an
error, scored the Raiders' lone run in
the third inning.
Kidd picked on a 1-2 pitch from
Pack and deposited it over the fence
in right field for his two-run shot.
Betsy Layne (5-1) will host Magoffin County tomorrow night at the
Allen Park with game time set for 5
p.m. South Floyd will play Allen
Central at Allen Park tomorrow night
at 7 p.m.

Prestonsburg pounds out 14 hits in 10-8 win over Cardinals
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
•
James Jarrell belted his third home
run of the season and freshman
Wesley Samons hurled four strong
innings in relief ac; the Prestonsburg
Blackcats edged the Sheldon Clark
Cardinals 10-8 last Friday in high
school baseball at Inez.
Samons came on in reliefof starter
Bennett Allen in the fourth inning
and allowed the Cardinals two runs
on three hits. Samons had four strike
outs and he did not walk a batter.
Allen worked the first three innings and had little trouble in the first
two before the bottom fell out in the
third. The Cardinals scored six times
to erase a 5-0 lead Prestonsburg had
built.
Jarrell hit his third round tripper of
the season in the sixth inning to highlight a four run frame for the Blackcats
for a 10-7 lead.
Prestonsburg had taken a 1-0 lead
on a lead-off double by Ryan Ortega
to start the game. He scored on Thomas Ratliff's double.
Allen breezed through the first
three batters in the first, getting the
frrst two on strikes and Mascia on a
fly ball to center.
In the bottom of the second, Allen
struggled but kept the Cardinals off
the scoreboard, leaving the bases
loaded.
Prestonsburg added four more runs
in the top of the third on a single by
Ortega. Robinson reached on a fielder' s choice play and Ratliffwalked to

In a slugfest, the Prestonsburg
Blackcats pounded out 14 hits and
hammered two home runs to post a
17-12 win over the Pike Central
Hawks last Thursday evening.
Jason Spencer drilled a three-run
home run and Robbie Risner had a
solo shot for Prestonsburg, both coming in the fourth.
James Jarrell's bat is still ringing
out hits as he collected three and
drove in five runs. Thomas Ratliff
fmished with three hits in the game
while Toby Robinson and Risner had
two each.
Ratliff started for Prestonsburg and
was the winner, needing relief help
after five innings.
Ratliff allowed 10 runs on just
four bits. TheBlackcats' defense was
shaky behind Ratliff. Six of the 10
runs were unearned.
Hackworth pitched the sixth and
seventh innings, giving up two runs
on five hits. He walked two and struck
out four. He fanned the side in the
sixth.
Prestonsburg led 3-2 after the frrst
inning.Jarrelldoublcdhometworuns
and Ratliff had an RBI single.
After Prestonsburg had scored two
runs in the second on a double by
Toby Robinson and Jarrell's single
with Ryan Ortega scoring ahead of
Robinson, Pike Central tied the game
in the bottom of the inning with three
runs.
Prestonsburg went out in order in
the top of the third, but Pike Central
reached Ratliff as the Blackcats committed three errors in the bottom of
the frame.
The Hawks scored three times to
lead 8-5. All three runs were unearned.
Ten batters paraded to the plate
for Prestonsburg as they hammered
the ball all over the field. Spencer hit
his three-run shot and Risner followed with a solo blast Prestonsburg
led 11-8, but Central batted around in
scoring twice for an 11-10 score.
Pike Central added a run in the
flfth to make it an 11-10 game.
Prestonsburg exploded for six runs
in the top of the seventh as 10 batters
appeared. Jarrell had a run-scoring
triple and Kevin Robinson batted in
two runs with a three-bagger.
Central added their final two runs
in the bottom of the seventh as they
left the bases loaded when Hackworth
fanned Anderson to end the game.
Prestonsburg is 5-1 on the season
and will travel to Johnson Central

Remington, single-shot, .12 gauge shotgun. He
said he got to be a crack shot with the old rifle and
when they'd go out at night with carbide lights,
he'd shoot the frogs when he'd see their eyes shining.
One night while hunting frogs at the Number
One Pond (the same body of water in which I
swam with the glistening carcass of the dead mule
a decade or so later) he said be saw two big frog
eyes about 20 feet away glowing in the dark. He

with the same result; the frog didn't move.
He was really puzzled then, so be laid the rifle
on the bank and started wading out to where the
frog was. Just as be got within three or four feet of

he had put two slugs dead center of the tree.

A local family service worker's
look at child abuse and neglect
by Polly Ward
Tlmes Feature Writer
Child abuse and neglect is a harsh reality for some
children in Floyd County. According to figures from
the local Department of Child Welfare, Division of
Local Services at Prestonsburg, 482 reports of child
abuse or neglect involving 838 children in Floyd
County were reported last fiscal year. One hundred
and seventy-three of those cases were substantiated.
These nwnbers do not count the unknown number of
children whose maltreatment went unreported.
Facts and figures are easily read-and easily forgotten. But for fami.y service workers who investigate the cases, the statistics represent cases of abuse
and neglect that involve real children.
David Bentley bas been a family service worker at
the local child welfare office in Prestonsburg for
almost a year. Bentley said that when he frrst started
the job, he didn't realize the extent of child abuse and
neglect in the county. "I was naive," be admitted. "I
was raised in a pretty good, caring family, a 'Leave It
To Beaver' family. I didn't know all this was going
on."
The clean-cut man in his twenties soon learned the
ropes from his fellow family service workers and
from his own experience. He had also learned the definition of abuse is much broader than just physical.
"Child abuse is cursing a child, spitting on a child,
making a child stand for hours at a time, making a
child witness the beating of a pet." be said. "Abuse
can start out with words, then worsen to a case of sexual abuse."
Types of abuse and neglect
"Neglect five to one outnumbers abuse cases,"
Bentley said about reports the office receives. He
defines neglect as "refusing to give a child needed
medical treatment, not feeding a child properly, or a
child gets lice and is not treated."
As for physical abuse, "Just about anything you
can think of is done to a child-bitting, slapping,
strangling, molestation," he said. "Children are
burned with irons, fireplace pokers, dipped in bot
water, and burned with cigarettes, especially in the

"Children are tied to chairs-we check their legs
and wrists for places they have been tied. They get
gagged. We look at the comer of their mouths (for
raw places). Their hair has been pulled out You can
see the bald spots where the hair was pulled out.
Children are grabbed by the ear and the pulling can
cause some physical damage."
The family service worker has also seen cases of
shaking baby syndrome-shaking a baby until brain
damage occurs.

thrown against a wall, we look at a child's gait... We
talK to other siblings. We pretty much try to gather
information from siblings and the non-offending parent.
"The last person we talk to is the perpetrator."
The worker confronts the alleged abuser and seeks
his cooperation in ending the abuse. "If not, be goes
to court," Bentley said. "Most will cooperate with
us."
For many, that may mean attending a court-ordered
family parenting class.
Process of investigation
The local Child Welfare office has nine social
workers and each day a different worker is scheduled
to take reports, either by phone or from persons who
come in the office. The worker then gathers basic
information about the child, such as name, age, parents' names and address and the alleged abuse or
neglect. situation. Reports can be
anonymous, and sources are kept
confidential. "Then we take the
information to the supervisor's
office. She reads over the allegations and assigns a worker."
"We have time frames," he said.
"Sexual abuse is investigated immediately; physical abuse is investigated within the hour; and neglect
within 24 hours." Bentley said that
be bas personally investigated 15 to
20 cases.
In cases of neglect. the worker
visits the home to survey the situation. "We speak with the parents and
see what kind of services are available to them," be said. "There is

resource centers and the Ministerial

"Then we make (repeat) visits to

;._.,._
Stress and alcohol abuse factors
Bentley said that most cases of abu.se are caused
by an underlying stress.
"We try to remove whatever causes the stress...A
great deal of the cause is alcohol, and how that
impairs one," he said. "A spanking that turns into a
beating when one is intoxicated," is one example of
the negative effect of alcohol.
"Most of the neglect is in the poorer families
(because they lack financial means)," he said. "But as
far as different kinds of abuse, money doesn't matter.
The poor and the wealthy get frustrated in their lives
just the same."
Fear of retribution by the perpetrator may keep a
person from reporting child abuse or neglect. Bentley
said a person bas to take the chance that the perpetrator is bluffing. "Is the child's safety important or wiU
you let fear override your concern for the child?
Mostly, threats are words."
The family service worker emphasized that when
one child is protected from abuse, a future cycle of
abuse is prevented. "We're not just saving this one
child's life, we're saving this child's children. Abuse
is cyclical."
Bentley said that knowledge about child abuse is
"good. But more than that, do something. Knowledge
won't help unless a person takes the time to act on it
Call into the office (if you suspect abuse). Four or
five minutes of your time can ultimately save the life
of a child."
To report child abuse or neglect, call the local

On my son's last day as a 5-year-old, he could
count to 105.
He also went to church twice and cried when a
playmate called him a butt head that afternoon.
Perhaps it wasn't the most eventful day a 5-yearold ever lived.
But maybe it will be interesting to him when be
reads about it in 20 years or so. Or maybe his
grandchildren will think so somewhere down the
road.
That idea is probably the reason I've been writing down such happenings in a family diary since
Joshua was born in 1989.
It started by me writing down little things he did
on scraps of paper. Later, after his baby sister came
along, I bought little calendar books for each year
to help record the family story. Not that it's a story
that's always thrilling to write down.
It's doubtful that entries like "family goes out for
ice cream at Dairy Queen" will win any Pulitzer
prizes. But they do give a sense of where we've
been during the last year and about high points in
our children's lives.
And that's where the real fun comes in for me.
It's neat to write down special things the little
ones do and then go back later and see when it happened. Take this entry from last June, for instance.
"Jordan says 'Joe Adams' for frrst time,
liDmmy's name as well."
Hard to believe that's been alliDst a year ago.
And now it seems even harder to believe the name
she said before ours three liDnths prior to then:
Kentucky Wildcats.
At least she didn't say North Carolina.
EASY TO FORGET
The things I notice the most when I scan our
family diary are the blank pages.
For every item I've recorded, seems like there
are at least three that I didn't. There are months
when I didn't write down anything.
But I know significant things happened during
those periods. I remember when Joshua opened a
door for the flrst time but I couldn't tell you a date.
I remember the time and the week when my daughter took her fl.rst steps but I'd have to do some
detective work to figure out the day.
Still, I've managed to record most of the truly
incredible things.
"Joshua invites Jordan into his room for the flrst
time" reads one entry from a year ago.
We had better circle that page. Maybe we'll even
frame it. He hasn't invited his sister in one time
since and we've got our doubts that we'll ever see
it again.
Here's another entry from October about something else we '11 never see again.
"Joshua loses his frrst tooth as liDm brushes his
teeth."
Reading such entries make me a little sad. It's
amazing how fast kids grow up.
This entry from a year ago in early April is a
perfect illustration:
"Jordan (our daughter) rides tricycle around
block repeatedly this week. Couldn't ride well earlier."
Now she's riding a little bicycle with training
wheels.
This diary business also reminds me about how
bard it is to remember what happens from one day
to the next.
Try as I might, I can't recall a whole lot liDre
about what my son did on his last day as a 5-yearold even though it's been less than a week ago.
I guess he'll just have to settle for the items
you've read about at the begirming of this colunm.
But I'll probably throw in at least one other entry
that took place shortly after his birthday:
"Daddy's feeble brain gives out again."
Speaking of my feeble brain, I sure wish it
would let me forget the NCAA basketball tournament.
Kentucky bowed out earlier than I expected. It
was sickening. I'm still sick about it.
One of my friends said he's so disappointed that
he might not watch the team play next year. I
agreed with him.
But we both know that'll never happen.
It would be nice if the Cats whooping was the
only beating I took in the tournament. But it wasn't.
My wife whipped me again in our annual pick
the winning teams in the tournament competition.
At least she only beat me by four points this year
rather than 27. Maybe me and the Cats will be luckier next year.

About Animals
LYME DISEASE
Copyright 1994 KVMA
Though nowhere approaching epidemic status, the incidence of Lyme
disease is increasing in Kentucky. A
total of 59 cases were reported last
year, compared to only 28 cases the
year before.
Eleven cases were reported in
Jefferson County, seven in Fayette,
five in Hardin, four in Christian, three
in Daviess, two in Warren,
McCracken, Kenton, Lyon and
Meade counties, and one each in
Adair, Ballard, Bell, Boone, Bourbon, Boyd, Bracken, Caldwell,
Campbell, Crittenden, Floyd,
Franklin, Grayson, Henderson,
Livingston, Logan, Pulaski, Rowan
and Wolfe counties.
Statistics indicate that most victims ba<;l not traveled outside of Kentucky this year, which means that the
black-legged tick which carries the
spirochete which causes the disease
has invaded Kentucky.
These ticks feed and mate on large
animals, especially deer, in the spring
and fall. Female ticks drop off and lay
eggs on the ground, which batch into
larvae after a few weeks.
The larvae feed on mice in the
spring and summer, and then hibernateduring the winter. The next spring
they molt into nymphs, which feed
on mice in the summer, and then molt
into adults in the fall, completing the
two-year life cycle.
The aggressive feeding behavior
of the larvae, nymphs and adult ticks
accounts for the spread of the Lyme
disease bacterium. Once in a host, the
bacterium multiples and may cause
clinical disease.
Cats, dogs, horses, cattle and humans can be infected with the bacterium and may develop the disease.
These animals may carry the infected
ticks to humans, but there is no evidence of direct transmission between
them and/or humans.
Campers, bikers, outdoor workers and others who frequent wooded,
brushy and grassy places are most
likely to come in contact with the
ticks. Ticks that transmit the disease
also flourish in lawns and gardens,
especially at the edges of woodlands.
These ticks are much smaller than
common flea and dog ticks. In the
nymphal stage, when they are most
likely to transmit the disease to humans, they are no bigger than a pinbead. Adults are only slightly larger.
Animals and humans alike can
contract the disease.
The first stage is usually marked
by a flu-like illness and rash, fatigue,
chills and fever, headache, muscle
and joint pain, swollen lymph nodes.
Arthritis, nervous system abnormalities such as numbness, pain or
weakness of muscles of the face or
limbs, stiff neck and cardiac abnormalities may later develop.
Lyme disease acquired during
pregnancy may lead to infection of
the fetus, which has been associated
with malformations and miscarriages.
The disease bas only been diagnosed since 1987.
It is treatable and a vaccine is
available for animals.
Your veterinarian can give you
more information, including effective ways to protect yourself and your
animals from ticks, which is the first
line of defense.
Consumers should be cautious
in selecting pest control work
Spring is termite season as the
warmer weather prompts the woodeating pests to become more active in
seeking a feeding source.
The Kentucky Division of Pesticides, which regulates the state's 400
licensed pest control companies, offersthefollowingsuggestionstothose
in need of an exterminator:
Get bids from at least three com-.
panies and be wary of those whose
bids are much lower than the others.
Ask if the company is licensed
with the state. If you have doubts
about the company's credibility, call
tbeDivisionofPesticides(502) 5647274 and/or your local Better Business Bureau.
Get a written contract that specities the worlc to be performed and
outlines the guarantee provided. Request a diagram or graph of the areas
to be treated. Keep these documents
onflle.
If you are dissatisfied with the
work performed, call Ule company
and ask for a reinspection. If the
company refuses to resolve a problem, call the Division of Pesticides.
Pest control companies are required to be licensed with the state
and to perform exterminating work
in accordance with state regulations.
State pesticides inspectors will investigate specific complaints about
substandard work. but will not be
dispatched simply for an inspection.
Thedi vision does, however. moni-
tor the work of pest control companies. Under law, the companies are
required to provide the division with
a monthly list of where they have
treated buildings for pests. Inspectors then perform random inspections
of this work after obtaining the property owners' permission.
''The overwhelming majority of
pest control companies are reputable
and highly professional," said Agriculture Commissioner Ed Logsdon.
"But like many industries, there are
bad apples in the bunch. We'll suspend or revoke a few licenses every
year. Tbat's why we urge people to
get different bids and check references."
Dunwellsaid. "Decide what you want,
then go back and order them."
Once the home gardener decides
what he likes, he needs to go to his
borne and see if it "fits" the landscape. Is it the right size for the yard?
Will it have the same "look" in your
yard that attracted you to it in the first
place.
"Then fmd a source," he said." Ask
a local supplier. If that doesn't work,
there are plant finders (catalogues or
booklets for specific sources for odd
plants), or check with libraries or the
county extension agent."
Dunwell, who works outofUK's
research and education center in
Princeton, said be would welcome
questions from home gardeners and
Mary Witt, another UK horticulturist
at tJK•s Lexington campus, also is
another source.
The UK publication, "Small Trees
for Urban Spaces in Kentucky," by
Witt, Nash, Fountain and Crankshaw,
is an excellent resource which also
lists numerous suppliers from Kentucky and others outside of the state.
How to eliminate fleas
from pets and homes
F1eas, annoying little pests that
breed at a tremendous rate, can drive
you and your pets mad with their
prickling bites.
No matter how many fleas you
pick off your dog, they still seem to
proliferate. How do you get rid of
these nuisance creatures?
The best method of control is to
treat your pets and their borne environment (house, yard), said Mike
Potter, Extension entomologist with
the University of Kentucky College
of Agriculture.
"Adult fleas lay all of their eggs
on pets, but the eggs soon fall off into
carpeting or furniture," said Potter.
"After hatching, the tiny larvae bide
deep within carpeting, furniture cushions and other areas where pets lay,
sleep and spend time. Then the larvae
transform into pupae within cocoons,
emerging as adults within two to four
weeks, sometimes longer. These cocoons resist insecticide and will still
surviveeven though homes have been
treated with insecticide."
Systematic treatment in the borne
should successfully eliminate fleas,
but ftrst make sure all floors are tidy
so all areas are accessible to treatment. Put away pet dishes and wash
any sort of pet bedding. Thoroughly
vacuum all floors, carpeting and beneath furniture cushions. Vacuuming floors is very important because
itremovesmanyunbatcbedeggs, larvae and pupae. Vacuuming also encourages pre-emerged fleas to erupt
from their insecticide-resistant cocoons.
"Insecticides are about the only
way to get rid of fleas once they have
infested your borne," Potter said.
"Follow directions on the container
label and make sure everyone and the
pets leave the premises until the insecticide spray bas dried completely."
Many insecticides are available
for control, but the most effective
products are those that contain an
adultcide (kills fleas in the biting
adult stage) and an insect growth
regulator (suppresses fleas' development-prevents eggs and larvae from
developing). Carefully apply the insecticide to all areas likely to be infested including carpets, throw rugs,
under and behind beds and furniture
and beneath cushions where pets
sleep. Most people find aerosol formulations easier to administer.
F1eas probably will linger on for
about two to three weeks. They probably are newly-emerged adults that
have not yet been affected by the
insecticide. It is often unnecessary to
retreat the house, just continue to
vaccum. Sometimes afollow-uptreatment is required two to four weeks
later.
Because adult fleas essentially
spend their entire life in the pet's fur,
spraying the house alone will not
abolish all fleas. Treating your pet is
a crucial step for total flea extermination. Animals can be treated by a
veterinarian or by the owner. Some
on-animal products contain an insect
growth regulator (IGR) as well as an
adulticide. These prevent eggs from
hatching. The Ovitrol F1ea Egg Collar contains no adultcide but does
keep eggs from hatching for several
months. For best results, place the
collar on the animal before flea season begins (April-May).
Read instructions carefully. Some
insecticides work only for dogs and
should not be used for cats or other
kinds ofanimals. Do not use the same
insecticides used for treating the borne
or yard on animals. Total flea elimination is most effective when animals have been treated near the same
time premises were treated.
In situations where the pets spend
most of their time outdoors, yard
treatment may be necessary. Itshould
not be necessary to spray the entire
yard. Concentrate treatment in areas
where pets rest, sleep and run, especially around doghouses, kennels and
underneath decks. Insecticides such
as Dursban or Diazinon can be applied with a hose-end or pump-up
sprayer. Long term flea suppression
can be strengthened using compounds
containing a light-stable IGR such as
fenoxycarb.
You can successfully eliminate
fleas from your borne, pet and yard if
you exercise the methods discussed
above. People who lack time to treat
their bouse or feel uncomfortable
using chemical pesticides may want
to hire a professional pest control

�C6 Wednesday, April12, 1995
The Floyd County Times
April is prevention month: Involved
contntunities help prevent child abuse
An African proverb states "It
takes a whole village to raise a
child."
Department for Social Services
Commissioner Peggy Wallace says
that this year's theme for April's
National Child Abuse Prevention
Month "The Ties that Bind:
Preventing Abuse through Family
and Community," expands on that
idea. DSS and the Kentucky
Council on Child Abuse are coordinating events using that theme to
promote awareness of child abuse
and prevention in Kentucky.
"It's a mistake to assume one
organization or agency alone can
prevent child abuse," said Wallace.
"It does take the whole community."
Wallace said community members, including neighbors, family,
schools and churches, need to know
how to recognize situations that
may be potential risks for abuse.
They also have to be willing to get
involved when they see a risk, she
said. ''The goal is to stop abuse
before it happens."
DSS conf111Iled the abuse of
24,877 children during fiScal year
1994; 29 children died.
The leading factor found in
cases of abuse and neglect was
inadequate parenting skills, followed closely by the stress of single parenting, said Crystal Collins,
a DSS child protection specialist.
"Abuse and neglect are often not
intentional," she said. ''The parent
may have unreasonable expectations for the child's age, provide
inadequate supervision or lose control during discipline."
"Anytime corporal punishment
is used, the parent risks losing control and seriously injuring the
child," said Joel Griffith, also a
child protection specialist. "Parents
need safe, effective ways to discipline. Groups that provide parenting skills training and resources to
reduce stress for the parents are the
most effective way to prevent child
abuse."
The sale of birth certificates
helps fund such groups. Om: dollar
of every fee charged for a birth certificate issued in Kentucky goes
toward grants for "voluntary selfhelp groups for parents who want
to prevent or cease abuse of their
children." Ten groups across the
state received grants totaling
approximately $200,000 during fiscal year '94 and the same amount
has been allotted for FY '95.
Parenting classes are also
offered at many of the family
resource centers and youth service
centers in schools across the state.
The centers provide a variety of
resources for families, including
social support, health services,
clothing and mental health counseling.
"Parents under a great deal of
financial or social stress are at high
risk for losing control," said
Collins. "They shouldn't be
ashamed to go to their family,
neighbors, church, school or any
social service agency and ask for
help before they reach the breaking
point."
Griffith said, "If the neighbors,
school and church can recognize
who is at risk, they can offer help
before it's too late; it could mean
the difference between a healthy
family or a family where the children are abused."
According to The National
Center on Child Abuse and
Neglect, parents who may be most
at risk of abusing their children
include: the emotionally immature
or needy; people who are isolated
and have no family or friends to
depend on; those who were themselves abused as children; those
who have poor physical or emotional health and abusers of alcohol
or drugs.
Children most likely at risk of
being abused include: the unwanted; the child who resembles someone the parent dislikes; children
who are disabled or ill or who have
any physical or behavioral traits
that make them different or especially difficult to care for.
In addition to recommending
classes or support groups, experts
advise parents to help prevent the
stresses that lead to child abuse by
simply taking care of themselves.
Jill Seyfred, executive director of
the Kentucky Council on Child
Abuse, said she tells parents, ''Take
time to be alone, go for a walk or a
drive. Listen to your body; rest if
you're tired, eat if you're hungry
and cry if you're sad."
She said the family and neighbors of young parents can help
most by providing child care while
the parent takes a needed break and
by advising inexperienced parents
on what to realistically expect of
the child.
It's also important for adults to
build good communications with
children, Seyfred said. "Remember,
the child is helpless to prevent the
abuse; all the child can do is report
it to a friend, teacher or other trusted adult."
In its first published report in
1990, the U.S. Advisory Board on
Child Abuse and Neglect called the
problem "a national emergency."
''Those words are even more
true today," said Wallace. "Abused
children who survive may have
life-long physical and psychological scars; many don't survive. We
must all work together to save these
children."
For information on parenting
skills training or other assistance in
coping with stress as a parent, call
KCCA's Parent Helpline at 1-800432-9251 or your local DSS office.
Help may also be available through
local schools, churches, mental
health organizations or area hospitals.
To report suspected abuse, call
the Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800752-6200 or the local DSS office.
Kentucky law requires anyone who
suspects child abuse to report it.
Reports may be anonymous.

Yields on short-term U.S. Treasury Securities have doubled since
tbeir lows in October 1993. At first,
tbe Federal Reserve Board's decision to shift away from an accommodative monetary policy early in 1994
generated a high degree of uncertainty for ftxed income investors.
However, many economists feel that
the tighter policy setting should prove
beneficial to the capital markets in
the long run. This is because the fed
is effectively pursuing a strategy that
will prevent any meaningful buildup
inflationary pressures.
Keeping inflation in check is crucial to ftxed income investors because high inflation erodes the value
of bond returns. For example, say
you hypothetically buy a bond with a
nominal rate of 7% and inflation is
high, at 8%. Your real rate of return
(nominal rate minus inflation) in this
case would actually be a negative
1%.By contrast, buying the same 7%
bond in the current low inflation environment of about 3% means that
you would enjoy a positive 4% real
rate of return (prior to taxes, of
course). That's very attractive in historical terms.
Attractice yields with
one- to three-year treasuries...
As the fed changes the direction of
its monetary policy, shifts can occur
in the shape of the yield curve that
may help produce a transfer in relative values among the different maturity sectors.
•
On balance, investments in the
one-to three-year maturity range have
a much stronger appeal for ftxed income investors than they did in early
1994. That's because such investments now provide attractive yields
without requiring you to lock principal into longer maturities. Of course,
the forces that bear upon the shape of
the yield curve are dynamic and can
change rapidly. For now, however, it
appears that investors who focus their
portfolio assets in shorter maturities
will fmd excellent value in the oneto three-year area. That's where, in
relative terms, some of the most attractive returns in literally years are

Floyd County officials are realizing that it isn't going to be easy to

Policy------are affected by the number of
seniors leaving school early and
that if the board required students
to· attend eight semesters "they
can't drop out."
Damron said it could be a problem trying to legally require students to attend classes for four
years because it could harm students wanting to get a jump on
going to college.
"The problem with making it
legal is that you are punishing the
ones that excel to do , something
with the dropouts," Damron said.
Board member Phyllis Honshell
commented that she didn't feel students should be forced to be physi·
cally present if the school did not
offer the students some type o_f educational program.
"Who are these students (that
are dropping out)?" Honshe11
asked. "I need more specific information."
Damron said that more research
was needed on the issue.
Towler said that this was the
f'lrst year that administrators
noticed a problem because of the
large number of seniors leaving
Prestonsburg High School.
Since the beginning of the
school year, enrollment in the district has dropped by 119 students
and enrollment was down by 32
students at Prestonsburg High
School. A drop in enrollment has a
fmancial impact on the school system because the district receives
state funds for the number of students that attend classes daily.
The board took no action on the
issue and it is expected to be discussed again at the May meeting.
In other action Tuesday:
• Loretta Martin, representing
the system's cooks and janitors,
asked the board to consider paying
those employees for extra time
spent cleaning schools after extracurricular events.
• James Doug Fitzpatrick
requested that the board retain the
old Garrett school site so it can be
used as a park for children in the
area.
• The board authorized creating
a matching fund to be available to
all schools in order to assist with
funding for special projects. Each
high school is allotted $6,000 per
year and each grade school $3,000.
Schools requesting those funds
must flrst have an equal amount of
money that is being requested.
Attorney Damron told the board to
set guidelines governing approval
or disapproval of projects. Also,
project requests are to be presented
to school councils to be prioritized.

Woodrow Wilson Burchett, 84,
Floyd County's own "Sage of Cow
Creek." died Wednesday, April 12,
at Highlands Regional Medical Center.
Burchett, a practicing attorney,
was a popular public speaker whose
knack for storyteUing earned him the
title "Sage of Cow Creek." This special trait once prompted Judge David
Francis of Warren County to comment, "Either more funny things happen in Floyd County or Woodrow
Burchett is the best story teller ever."
Many of his stories involved court
cases and the surprise responses of
defendants or clients. Once as be was
stating the case of a client in court,
the man arose from his seat and said
''Woodrow, I declare, I believe you're
talkin' agio' me."
Burchett was a friend and ally of
many state and national leaders, a
sought-after speaker whose wit was a
treasure, and yet it was the friendships he earned with his clients and
friends in the role of attorney and his
warm, wonderful relationship with
his family that meant the most to him.
He was a politician who liked the
idea that "politics is people." He
served as chairman of the Floyd
County Democratic Party for eight
years, as city attorney of Prestons-

of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
Meet in the
middle
by Scott Perry
The ongoing debate over what
to do about Prestonsburg High
School, which is now well into
its fourth year, is beginning
to sound like a broken record.
It's time to put this matter to
rest, once and for all.
The PHS project was a hot
topic back in late 1990, when a
plan to relocate the school on
Middle Creek drew all sorts of
ire and fire and ultimately led to
the ouster of one longtime member of the board.
Subsequently, the Middle
Creek idea was scrapped and
preliminary plans were designed
to build a new school inside the
Prestonsburg city limits, near
the site of the existing school.
Meanwhile, most ofthe school
system's building fund was depleted on other school projects,
leaving the financing of a new
school in Prestonsburg in limbo.
Back to the drawing board
went the school board, arriving
more than a year ago at what
appeared to be areasonablecompromise.
The existing school would be
remodeled extensively, giving
it a new look, more room, and
the space needed to house a more
modern curriculum.
Money troubles again clouded
the picture.
Grand scale renovation became small scale renovation and
phased in hopes.
The citizenry rebelled, calling
for an ali-or-nothing approach
to reconstruction and the project
went back to the local planning
committee.
And that's where it is now.
On square one.
This time, though, needs to be
the last. The plan that ensues
needs to be the plan that is used.
Almost five years and thousands
of dollars have already been
wasted, ;md no progress has been
made.
A consensus must be reached
on what type of facility will best
serve the PHS students; where
that facility will be built; and
how it will be financed.
Don't expect the final solution
to make everybody happy.
The parents, students and faculty at Prestonsburg High have
every right to demand an adequate facility, but bickering
won't get it built
Compromise will.
Let's get on with it.

Miscarriage of justice
is alleged by Conley
Editor:
A message to all Floyd County
citizens, there has been a miscarriage
of justice to me. My name is James
Jack Conley. I am a juror on the
Floyd County Court. One AprillO, at
9:15 a.m., I was called back in the
judge's chambers. Thereireceiveda
miscarriage of justice.
The judge said, Jack, I understand
you are in the courtroom, drunk.
I said, sir, I never have been drunk
in my entire life and I do not use
alcohol.
Judge said, Jack, when did you
quit drinking.
I said, I have never started. I am in
good shape for jury.
The judge said, I am going to
release you today. You can go fiShing.
I wanted to do my duty and serve,
but I was embarrassed and slandered.
I was denied my constitutional rights.
I went directly to my doctor and
got an order for an alcohol and drug
screen. I received my test results. My
·,:,,,, .. , ·

blood alcohol test was 0 and my drug
screen was negative.
It seems like I was tried and convicted in the judge's chambers and
released. I tried to explain my medical condition: I have sugar diabetes.
My eyes do get glassy and do look
like a drunk sometimes, but that is the
disease that causes that
With diabetes you stagger and
walk cripple and sideways, but you
know in your heart you are not drunk.
Please do not accuse the people with
diabetes of being a drunk. If you get
diabetes, you will understand what
we, the diabetic people, go through.
I have been walking down the
street and hear people say, did you
see that old man, he is drunk.
I have a personal message for the
accusers: My life is like an open
book. I will take a drug screen any
day or night to show I am not an
alcoholic or dope head.
Do not form an opinion of your
own about any Floyd County diabetic person; you could be sued, and
I will stand up for their rights until
hell freezes over.
I also have a message for law
officers: Some of you have never
been instructed about diabetic persons. Do not take it on your own and
arrest them and take them to jail.
Know you are in the right before you
make the wrong decision. You could
be sued for false arrest
A message to diabetic people: If
they take you, demand a drug screen
at the jail.

Speaks out against
R.R. Commissioner
Editor:
As a fonner elected constitutional
official railroad commissioner, I
served three terms, eight years, as
chairman of the three-elected member, Kentucky Railroad Commission.
Commissioner William Bailey, of
Murray, whoisapresentelectedcommissioner told me that our commissioner representing us in Eastern,
Northern and Southern Kentucky
(I.E. Combs), has only attended one
hearing in seven years.
As you know, his platfonn was to
abolish the Kenrucky Railroad Commission. He was unable to do that He
is doing nothing for the people of
Kentucky. My record as Kentucky
Railroad Commissioner speaks for
itself, as the people of Floyd and

(April10, 1985)
surrounding counties know how I
worked for them when I held the
office.
The Kentucky Railroad Commission has a general supervisor over the
railroads operating in the state, so we
don't need a commissioner in this
very important office like the one we
havenow.

We have had several fatalities at
various crossings recently, notably,
Covington, and Clay County.

Donor center thanks
Adams Middle School
Editor:
On behalf of Central Kentucky
Blood Center, I would like to extend
my thanks to the students and faculty
of Adams Middle School for taking
part in the vital community service of
recruiting people to donate blood.
Although they are not able to donate themselves, they worked very
hard to inform others of the importance of maintaining an adequate
blood supply for Central and Eastern
Kentucky patients.
The staff of Prestonsburg Donor
Center very much appreciates their
efforts and truly enjoyed working
with all of those involved. We hope
many of the students will decide to
become blood donors when they are
older and we look forward to worlcing with them in that capacity.
Thanks again to Adams Middle
School for their part in saving lives.

-Letters to the editor---Misty Clark honored
for basketball play

Editor:
Misty Clark (No. 3), a student at
Betsy Layne High School, was recently named Player of the Year of
the 15th Region.
This was voted on by the Kentucky Association of Basketball
Coaches (in the 15th region).
She was honored with a banquet at
the Holiday Inn in Frankfort on March
24. Later that evening at half-time of
the semi-final first round game, she
was awarded a trophy. This was sponsored by Reebok®. Thanks to her
hard work and dedication and the
honor of Player of the Year, she is
eligible to try out for Kentucky-lndiana All-Star Team this weekend in
London.
Misty has been a basketball player
in the Floyd County School System
since the seventh grade (1990). During her eighth grade season, her team
took the Floyd County Tournament
championship. She also played varsity ball during that year.
Misty has been a starter of the
varsity team all four years of high
school, playing the position of point
guard. She has been awarded several
different awards; Belfry All-Tournament team 1993; Individual FreeThrow trophy; All-Tournament
Pikeville Invitational; Player of the
Week all four years in the Floyd
County Times; made All-District for
four years and All-Conference; in
'93-94 enjoyed going to the state
tournament (Sweet Sixteen). She has
made All-Region her last two years
and Individual Free Throw last year
in the 15th Regional Tournament.
This year she bas averaged 16
points a game, 5 assists, 3 to 4 steals,
and averaged 5 rebounds a game. She
bad her game high of 31 points this
year against Pike Central.
As the parents of Misty we would
like to say that we're very proud of
our daughter and we wish her the best
ofluck in her future years as she plans
to play college ball. We would like to
thank coach Bill Newsome for all of
his help. A big thanks goes to Ed
Taylor, sports editor of the Floyd
County Times. We feel that he has
covered her and our school well.
Thanks, Ed.
Misty has a chance to travel to
Belgium to play with the USA-Belgium All-Star Tournament. If everything goes as expected this will take
place August 8-15. She will have the
chance to play some of the European
teams. We know this will be a great
experience for her.
We would like for all of the young
players at Betsy Layne to know that
we wish you the best of luck in the
years to come.

Frustration expressed
due to taxi service
..
Editor:
Transportation outside ofpersonal
automobiles is practically non-existent in Floyd County if not Eastern
Kentucky. It is, therefore, very frusttating for people who try to call a
taxi to take them places.
When taxi cab owners get their
licenses from the state it should state,
if it doesn't already, that taxi service
is available to everyone who calls.
Instead's home at a certain time, but
it never shows up.
The customer is ready and waiting
and urgently needs to go to the
doctor's appointment, grocery shopping, etc.
My mother bas had this happen to
bermore times than we can count and
I am sure many others have had this
problem.
Transportation to those who don't
drive could be a "mission project" for
church people and otherfolks. People
would be happy to pay a reasonable
fee for being taken to the doctors,
shopping, etc.
The county could use a reliable
transportation system, either taxi or a
mini-bus.

Jean, whom the family called
"Pud"; Martha Ann Hart and
her husband, Charles W. Hart
Jr. of Anchorage, Kentucky,
and Sarah Elizabeth "Sally"
Allen and husband Robert R.
Allen of Prestonsburg. There
are seven grandchildren and
seven great-grandchildren. One
grandson, Richard Sturgill
Burchett, preceded him in
death.
.
He was a member of the
First Baptist Church (Irene Cole
Memorial) in Prestonsburg for
50 years, where he served as
trustee, finance chairman and
Sunday school teacher. His
civic involvement included
work with the Girl Scouts and
Boy Scouts of America and the
Kiwanis Club ofPrestonsburg,
a cause that was dear to his
heart.
He was a practicing attorney with law offices in Prestonsburg for over 60 years and
was a member of the Aoyd
County, Kentucky and American Governors Associations.
He has also belonged to the
American Trial Lawyers Association and was licensed to
practice law in all courts, including the U.S. Supreme

Democratic Party for eight
years, as city attorney of Prestonsburg for two terms, and
was elected Aoyd County Attcrney fer three terms.
A popular public speaker,
his knack for story telling
earned him the title "Sage of
Cow Creek." This special trait
once prompted Judge David
Francis of Warren County to
comment, "Either more funny
things happen in Aoyd County
or Woodrow Burchett is the
best story teller ever."
Manyofhisstoriesinvolved
court cases and the surprise
responses of defendants or clients. Once as he was stating the
case of a client in court, the
man arose from his seat and
said, "Woodrow, I declare, I
believe you're talkin' agio'
me."
He was a friend and ally of
many state and national leaders, a sought-after speaker
whose wit was a treasure, and
yet it was the friendships be
earned with his clients and
friends in the role of attorney
that meant the most to him.

Having a postive attitude
It was not easy to leave home,
family, and familiar routines in order
to go to Texas to attend a school in a
plar.e which I had never even visited.
However, I believed strongly that
God wanted me to go there and I was
able to keep a positive attitude even
through the difficulties. We have been
considering bow to have a positive
attitude even in tbe midst of a sometimes negative world. We have already seen how that the activities of
inspection and committing can help
us develop a positive attitude. Another activity we can do, and I engaged in when I moved to Texas, is to
profess. I professed my belief in the
Lord's leadership and my faith that
He would provide. Words carry a lot
of impact for ourselves and for others. But words are especially potent
when there is conviction about their
meaning on the part of the speaker.
So, by the activity of profession in
words we can help to make our attitudes positive or negative.
The psalmist said, "Great is tbe
Lord, and greatly to be praised; And
His greatness is unsearchable."
(Psalm 145:3) Theftrstandforemost
of all things we should profess is our
God. Here the psalmist is professing
the greatness of His God. We must
begin in this fashion as well. This
profession takes our focus away from
our problems or trials. This is important because many times we tend to
make our problems into more than
they really are. For instance, not many
people could see the atrocities which
tbe Haitians faced during the last
year without being bumbled. As we
heard about people dying in ditches
beside tbe road, our hearts ached for
them. It really made us stop and think
about the problems we faced here
and how really small they were. The
spoken word bas this power to help
remove our minds away from our
inability to overcome many obstacles.
In doing those two things it is important to remember that professing our
God not only turns our focus away
from self, but it helps turn the focus
towards God. "His greatness is
unsearchable." Talk about how great
your God is, bow wonderful He has
been to you, and bow faithful he is to
always walk with you in every situation. Profess your God.
Next, profess the things you have
committed unto God. Profess how
that you have committed yourself to
doing the wm of God through the
situation and how you are committed
to serving His kingdom more than
your own interests. Profess bow that

THE FAMILY OF ANDERSON HATFIELD
your resources such as time, talent,
experience, ability, availability, possessions, etc., belong to God and that
you have committed them to Him to
use in and through your problems or
situations. Perhaps we should pause
here for a reminder. The words of a
profession such as this become extremely potent when we have a conviction in their truth. Although the
words themselves have some power,
when they are spoken with conviction a positive attitude is inevitable.
Finally, we can profess our faith.
David said, "The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear: what can man do unto
me." (Psalm 118:6) And again, "All
nations compassed me about but in
the name of the Lord will I destroy
them." (Psalm 118: 10) I have no
doubt some people have been gifted
witil the ability to believe wholeheartedly in a given outcome for a
situation. God sometimes gives this
gift to those in need to help them
through situations. David spoke this
when be sai4 "I will destroy them."
The outcome was set because of
David's trust in the Lord. This is not,
however, a formula to use in order to
get what we want from God. We can
have this kind of faith if we are
groooded in the Lord's will and if we
have preceded it with humility. We
cannot presume upon God's grace or
take His place in making decisions
for Him: Sometimes, however, this
kind of faith in which we are sure
what the outcome will be is not easy
for us. During those times we can still
profess our faith in the One who is in
control of the outcome. ''The Lord is
on my side." Profess your faith that
God will work in and through every
situation you face.
The Christian should be as different as the day is from the night in
comparison to those who do not have
Christ in their lives. We can have a
positive attitude in every situation we
face, no matter how severe or overwhelming. We develop this positive
atticude as we inspect the situation,
the possibilities, and especially the
Provider. Then we develop it when
we commit ourselves, our rewurces,
and especially our faith to the Lord
for the situation. And as we have seen
here, we can also profess what we
have commttted to God, our faith in
Him, and most importantly profess
the greatness of God. Then a positive
attitude is sure to come.

Local baseball field
dangerous? Clark at
tryouts in London
•
BUT FIRST•...
A belated happy birthday
wish to my good buddy Kyle
Potter of the Besy Layne
junior pro league. Happy
birthday, Kyle!
Parents and just baseball
fans in particular are really
upset over the condition of
the baseball field at the Allen
Park.
The infield is nothing but
a sea of rocks and in dire
need of being worked on. It
is the worst that I have ever
seen the field.
If I had a kid playing, he
would not play there. It is a
shame that this county
would provide such a facility for our kids to play ball
on.
I know. We have harped
on this for a long time but all
our words have fallen on
deaf ears. But, unless something is done to make the
field more safer, someone is
going to get seriously hurt
and then a law suit could
develop.
Why does the field have
to go neglected so often?
Why are the. lights not adjusted to where they light
the field correctly at night?
Why isn't anyone in the
county government concerned that our kids have to
playundertheseunsafecon<ihrons?
We have money to put in
a sprinkler system for the
golfcourse, butwecan'tfmd
funds to keep the ball field
in good repair.
I know if anyone has noticed, that there has been
some good crowds at the
games this spring and they
are noticing what I have
seen.
There is a lack ofbleacher
seating. If you don't bring
your lawn chair, you may
have to stand.
Please! Let's do something to fix that field up before one of our kids gets
seriously hurt. It's not safe!
Next time down at the park,
walk out on the field and
you will see what I mean.
CLARK AT
TRYOUTS...
Betsy Layne's Misty
Clark was invited to the
Kentucky All-Star tryouts
this past week at South Laurel and was very deserving
of the honor.
Clark was the only player
from the 15th Region to
make the trip. While she did
not make the team, still she
got to play with some of the
state's best players. We congratulate Misty for her accomplishments at Betsy
Layne and wish her the best
at the next level.
CAN YOU BELIEVE
THIS ...
A group of concerned
parents are doing all they
can to raise money for
needed track and field equipment at the new facility at

Now, they are not raising
it just for Allen Central, but

The Allen Central girls track and
field teams did something they dido 't
do last year and that was defeat South
Floyd in a Pikeville meet.
The Lady Rebels accomplished
the feat last Tuesday evening at the
Bob Amos Park in Pikeville,
outscoring the Lady Raiders 133 to
118.
"SouthFloydran well," said Allen
Central coach Dewey Jamerson.
''They have good speed. They are a
good team."
Annie Harvey captured the
women's 800-meter race with a time
of 2:51.11 for first place. It was one
of only two fttst place fmishes the
Lady Rebels enjoyed.
Allen Central's 3200-meter relay
team ran a 12:39.4 to take ftrst place
in the meet The foursome included
Natalie Cooley, Annie Harvey,
Dreama Isaacs and Crystal Martin.
"It was good just to win," said
Jamerson of his team's second meet
victory of the track season.
Jenny Wells, who placed fttst in
the shot put at Clay County, fmished
a strong second at Pikeville. Wells
had a throw of 29-feet, setting a new
school record in women's shot out.
Coach Jamerson looks for .,etter
things from Wells.
"A year makes a big difference in
throwing the shot," he said. "She is
still learning. But she will throw over
30 before long."
Nikki Queen, another upcoming
shot put thrower, finished third in the
event. Queen had a toss of 27 feet 10
inches.
Queen had a personal best in the
women's discus throw. She was measured at 79 feet. Wells placed fifth at
70 feet 6 inches. Jennifer Patton also
competed in the event.
Queen cleared the high jump bar
at 4 feet 2 inches for a personal best
:md finished fourth. Heather Conley
cleared at 4 feet for fifth place. Beth
Puckett also took part in the meet.
While Puckett did not place in the
women's long jump, Nicole Clark
fmished third with a distance of 13
feet 7 inches.
It was a third place finish for Pam
Goble in the women's 100-meter
hurdles.Goblepostedatimeof20.10.
She placed one spot higher in the
300-meterhurdles with a second place
fmish. Her time was 59.58 for second

South Floyd Lady
Raiders track team
place second at
Pikeville meet
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Last year the South Floyd girls'
track and field team had a dream
season. They won the regional meet
and sent seven members to last year's
state meet in Lexington.
Co~:., Keith Smallwood thought
that would be a season hard to repeat.
But the Lady Raiders may well be on
their way to another regional title and
more heading to .t he state meet in
May.
The Lady Raiders, in their first
meet of this season, turned in a stellar
performance at Pikeville Tuesday,
placing second overall behind Allen
Central while scoring 118 points.
''We're just a little bit off," said
Coach Smallwood, "and that is because we haven't practiced. And that
is my fault that we haven't practiced.
I got into some poison oak and it did
me in."
Tiffany Compton took second
place in the discus with a toss of 83
feet, two and hal finches. Fourth place
went to Lori Tackett with a throw of
79 feet, 9 inches.
Both Compton and Tackett were
regional contenders last year.
Danele Tackett, in her first meet
ever, was impressive with a throw of
50 feet, 6 inches.
"We have a lot of new people this
year," said Smallwood.
Compton took home first place in
the shot put. Her throw of 31 feet, 9
inches was good for the top spot.
Freshman Leah Hamilton placed sixth
in the event. Seventh grader Ashley
Mays made her debut in the pit and
did well.
Melissa Tackett and Amanda
Reynolds took part in the high jump
but did not place.
Janenne Fields was a second place
fmisher in the girls' long jump. She
was measured at 13 feet, 1 inch. Rey(See Lady Raiders, A 8)

Matt Crawford started for Allen
Central and suffered the setback. But
in fairness to Crawford, a couple of
errors and a hit batsman opened the
door for the Blackcats to score seven
times with two out in the fourth inning and erased a 2-0 Allen Central
lead.
Prestonsburg has built a reputation of being a strong hitting ballclub
and they did nothing against Allen
Central to dispel that.
The Blackcats collected 10 hits
and seven were for extra bases. Thomas Ratliff, Toby Robinson and

granted the prosecution's request to

Paintsville Herald editor
The Kentucky League of Cities,
reported that he inspected the mine
on June 2, 1990, but officials say he
was actually in Bristol, Virginia, that
day buying an all-terrain vehicle.
The grand jury indicted Holt, 60,
of Virgie, on three counts of taking
kickbacks from a coal operator in
exchange for not requiring the operator to pay the full amount offmes due
toMSHA.
The indictment says Holt accepted
a total of $2,000 from an owner of
AA&W Coals Inc. of Kimper between May 1990 and March 1994.
He allegedly accepted the money in
exchange for assessing lower penalties against the company than were
due.

The board ofan osteopathic medical school for Eastern Kentucky has
officially decided to locate the college in Paintsville and let nearby
Pikevilleplayamajorrolein its graduate program.
Sunday's decision by the Southern College of Osteopathic Medicine
board of trustees will allow Paintsville
and Pikeville to "split the medical
education chore," with Pikeville
Methodist Hospital being in charge
of the school's residency and internship programs, board secretary Chad
Perry said.
The hospital will also support the
college financially, but the amount it
will contribute hinges on how much
Paul B. Hall Regional Medical Center in Paintsville and Highlands Regional Medical Center in Prestonsburg are willing to give, Perry said.
Hospital and business leaders in
Pikeville were interested in locating
the school there if the Paintsville location fell through.
In picking a location for the school
in Paintsville, the board opted for
new construction rather than renovation, accepting an offer it couldn't
refuse: free property behind the new
Kmart owned by Homer and Mary
Short.
Also under consideration by the
board was the purchase of the former
Lowe's building on old Route 460.
The board must now come up with
$4 million to construct and equip the
school. Perry has agreed to give $2
million, and the board will apply for
a $1 million loan. The remaining $1
million will have to be solicited
through private contributions.
Fundraising has picked up considerably since last week, when Perry
said Paintsville could lose the school
to Pikeville or Hazard if local contributions didn't increase.
Board chairman Charles Wells
informed the board Sunday that
Mitchell and Eula Preston of
Paintsville had donated $10,000 and
have pledged an additional $10,000
for each of the school's fU'St three
years. Dr. T.C. McDaniel of Cincinnati, Ohio, has also pledged to give
$10,000 to the school for the fU'St
three years, Wells said.

Survey of children
An unprecedented survey by the
Caring Institute, a Washington-based
non-profit organization, indicates
children's primary concern is for the
environment
Last fall, students at every public
and private elementary, junior, and
senior high school in the country (over
100,000) were invited to participate
in programs and activities designed
to capture children's concerns.
The survey is based on a sample of
40,000 posters, essays, and letters
received at the end of last year. It
indicates children's five biggest concerns are in order: the environment,
racism, homelessness, violence
(crime) and abuse.
Other topics of significant concern include the full range of social
issues before society today. Students
expressed concern for everything
from poverty to abortion, drugs, drunk
drivers, war, the elderly, floods, and
AIDS.

Wolf Creek at more than 420 workers) employed at the Martin County
mine.
Zeigler officials have vehemently
denied both the sulfur content allegations as well as the charge that Wolf
Creek coal has been mixed with coal
from othersources (presumably other
Zeigler subsidiaries like Kermit Coal,
which has been out of commission
for more than a year and Marrowbone Development).
Company spokesman Vic Svec
said Wolf Creek had more than
enough coal in reserve to carry out
the terms of the contract, which calls
for 18,000,000 tons of coal to be
shipped by 2004.
The two have been in arbitration
since December, butboth have agreed
to a 30 day stay. An amended contract should be in place by April 30,
according to a company press release.
Both parties have also agreed not
to discuss the terms of the agreement
The press release did not contain details about how a preliminary agreement would affect jobs at the mine or
if the new contract, when it is in
place, would adversely affect employment at the mine. Svec did not

Hands-on experience
Floyd County Clerk Carla Boyd Instructed Betsy
Layne High School student Lora Boyd In the dally
operations of county government during the BLHS
Youth Serve program's second annual Youth In
Government Day.
While students in some school
districts outside Aoyd County
have to learn about government
from some stuffy old lecture, a
number of Betsy Layne High
School students get to learn firsthand.
Aoyd County elected officials
last month welcomed visitors
fromtheBetsyLayneHighSchool
Youth Serve's second annual
Youth in Government program.
1brough the program, students
from teacher Jackie Dillon's
political science class learned the
workings of Aoyd County government firsthand by observing
county officials such as County
Judge-Executive Bob Meyer;
MagistrateEnnal Tackett; Sheriff
Paul Hunt Thompson; Judge John
D. Caudill; Judge Danny Caudill;
County Clerk Carla Boyd; Circuit Clerk Frank DeRossett Jr.;
Commonwealth Attorney John
Earl Hunt; PV ALovel Hall; Judge
James R. Allen; and Jailer Roger
Webb.
"The county officials just love
it," Youth Serve Coordinator
Carolyn Clark said. "We did it
last year and they said that one
day is just not enough, so we did
it over two days this year. I really
believe they enjoy it just as much
as the kids do."
Youth Serve evolved from a
three-year grant from Learn &
Serve America. Betsy layne High
School is the only school in Aoyd
County to have received such a
grant.
1be purpose of Youth Serve,
Qark said, "is to involve the kids
in the community and community service. It's designed to make
them more aware of their community and government and how
it works."
The Youth in Government program is instrumental in promoting that awareness, Clark said.
"lbi.s has really been a tremendous learning experience for the
kids," Clark said, "and we really

Motion to move Isaac trial denied
The trial for Gallie Isaac Sr., will be held in Lawrence County, Circuit Judge
Stephen "Nick" Frazier ruled Tuesday.
Last week, attorneys in the case argued whether the trial should be held in
Lawrence or moved to another county after a motion to move the trial was filed
by special prosecutorLuke Morgan. Morgan contended that due to all the publicity
the case had received and Isaac's political status, the court would have trouble
seating an unbiased jury in Lawrence County.
Isaac's attorney, Eldered E. "Bud" Adams, argued that Isaac ~ould receive a
fair trial. To support his point, be flled 11 affidavits of people throughout the
county who thought Isaac could get a fair trial in Lawrence.
Among those who signed affidavits were Louisa Mayor James L. VanHoose,
county judge-executive.
Frazier overruled the prosecution's motion to move the trial, but said they could
still present additional evidence on the matter at a laterdate.-The Big Sandy News

Food pantry and clothing sto·r e
making life 'sweeter' for those in need
by Polly Ward
Times Feature Writer
Shirley Paige of Boldman knows
what it is to be in need.
Five years ago, Shirley gave birth
to a beautiful daughter who had multiple birth defects. At about the same
lime, her husband's coal operation
went broke.
During this time of crisis, she was
affected by the generosity of others.
"A church brought a box of food
to us-and we needed it," Shirley
said. "I never forgot it."
During two years that followed,
Shirley spent most of her time in a
hospital with her handicapped daughter. She saw other mothers who also
kept a bedside vigil beside their sick
children. Again she was touched by
acts of kindness of another. "This
older lady stands out in my mind,"
Shirley said. "She helped others at
the hospital, sitting in for mothers so
they could have a break."
Shirley decided that she wanted to
help others in times of crisis. "I pictured that I would be sitting in for
mothers at a hospital at Pikeville,"
she said. She didn't know that her
desire would be the catalyst for the
development of two ministries in
Floyd County-the Bread of Life
Food Pantry at Lancer and Sweet
Repeats used clothing store at Dana
Bread of Life Food Pantry
''Every year I used to flX a turkey
dinnerat Thanksgiving for some older
people who lived down the road."
Shirley said.
Word of her generosity spread,
and when her daughter was able to
live at home, Shirley found people
knocking on berdoorrequestingfood.
"People would come and ask for a
can of beans (or other food items). I
used to say to myself, 'What do they
think I am-a grocery store?'"
But Shirley kept giving without
complaint, even though her kitchen
shelves grew emptier. ''My husband
would say, 'I go to work and come
home and there's nothing in here to
eat.' There was plenty, ofcourse. But
there was a lot of food gone, too," she
said.
Soon, Shirley, and a friend Kathy
Hamilton, realized the requests for
food were becoming too much for
two women to handle. Shirley called
on their church, the Betsy Layne
Church of God, to help. Members
donated food, and the pastor, Judy
Caudill, gave monetary donations
from members. As the requests for
food grew, the pastor decided that the
operation of a food pantry should be
the responsibility of the church, not
just one or two members.
The pastor said she had no idea
bow to set up a food pantry ministry,
so she called Christian Appalachian
Project. CAP's advice was that the
church start a clothing attic and that
the proceeds from that venture go to
support the food pantry.
Following the advice, the church
set up anon-profit used dothing shop
in a small building at Boldman about
Testing(Continued from page one)
Preston also requested psychiatricevaluationsforthe two minor children as well as complete hospitalization records for the birth mother, who
Preston said bas a history of mental
illness.
Assistant prosecutor Neff objected, saying the release of such
information would be a violation of
the right of privacy and the information would be irrelevant to the alleged victims.
A motion immediately turned
down by Frazier was Preston's request that the prosecution reveal who
hired Floyd County attorney Jerry
Panon to assist the Commonwealth
and reveal bow much he is being paid
to do so.
'"That is totally irrelevant and immaterial," Frazier said. "We've gone
over his duties before and they remain the same whether or not be's
paid one dollar, one hundred dollars
or one million."
Representatives from Frazier's
office said Tuesday the judge's decisions would be forwarded to the
Martin Circuit Clerk's office within
the next few days.
A pretrial be.uing date has not
been set.
three years ago. "By word of mouth,
people started giving us donations of
clothing," Judy said.
Meanwhile, the non-profit food
pantry, named Bread of Life, was
established in August of last year in a
10' by 10' red storage building at
Buchett' sStorageonRoute 1426near
Lancer. The space was donated by
local businessman Clyde Burchett
At that lime another member of the
· Betsy Layne Church of God, Monta
Gail Burkett, who lives in a trailer
next to the pantry, volunteered to
help with its day-to-day operation.
God's Pantry headquarters in Lexington supplied a refrigerator and
freezer. With proceeds from the clothing store, Shirley began buying food
from God's Pantry Warehouse at
West Prestonsburg. The pantry also
received food and monetary donations from church members. a $500
federal grant, and$250 from the Floyd
County Ministerial Association.
Now, eight months later, the pantry serves up to 60 needy families a
month, Shirley said, and focuses on
serving low-income families and individuals in Stanville, Harold, Ivel,
and Prater Creek. The pantry follows
federal commodity guidelines as to
income eligibility. But in emergency

Amonthagothepantrywasmoved
to slightly larger facilities, a 10' by
30' rent-free storage building located
on the same lot.
"Sweet Repeats"
The used clothing store also bad a
location change. In September of last
year, the church moved the shop to a
brick building at Dana, which also
houses the Dana Post Office. Church
member Mary Black, who lives in an
apartment above the shop, told Judy
about the building.
"When we flfSt heard about the
new location, we didn't have time to
prepare the building," Judy said. "The
other location at Boldman had no
bathroom, no beat and no air conditioning. We decided to close it in
Jooeof1994. Thecustomerscouldn't
shop because they got cold in the
winter and too bot in the swnmer."
With theexpertiseofKatby Hamilton, who was assistant manager of a
Prestonsburg clothing store, the new
shop was set up with attractive clothing displays and neatly arranged
shelves and racks of clothing. The
store, dubbed "Sweet Repeats" has
children' s,ladies and men's clothing
with prices ranging from 79 cents to
$4.99. The top price is $8 for a complete outfit, such as a jacket with
pants or skirt, Judy said.
After expenses, the shop usually
clears $300 a month. All but ten percent of the proceeds are given to the
food pantry. The ten percent is given
to the church's Ladies Ministry relief fund. The relief fund is used to
help people in emergency situations,
such as providing rooms for stranded
families, that the clothing store and

Kentucky Housing Corporation
announced recently that the housing
planfortbestateofKentuckyisready
for release to the public. "The Consolidated Plan bas been completed
and is now ready for public comment," stated Kentucky Housing
Corporation's Director of Research,
Lee Tucker. Tucker went on to explain that the creation of the Consolidated Plan is a requirement for the
state to obtain federal housing dollars. Input for the plan was received
by state and local officials, housing
professionals and concerned citizens
and compiled by the Department of
Local Government and Kentucky
Housing Corporation. A copy of the
Consolidated Plan will be available
at local libraries after April 7, 1995
for anyone wishing to review it.

pantry do not cover. The shop also
donates clothing to families whose
homes have been destroyed by frre.
The store also bas an all-volunteerstaff. Judy Blackburn of Boldman
washes and presses the clothes before they are priced for sell. She and
her husband also help support the
store and pantry with monetary donations.
Nell Reed of Mare Creek, who is
Judy Caudill's mother, does whatever needs to be done, from sorting
donated clothes, washing and ironing them, to tagging them and hanging them on display racks.
Mary Black donates her portable
phone. runs errands, and acts as sec-
retary. The native Virginian, who
moved to Dana three years ago, said,
"I've never been involved so much to
serve the community. The more I
work, the more I like it I'm fairly
new here. It's nicer here, the people
are friendlier and I feel more accepted."
Meanwhile, Shirley's husband,
who once complained about her giving away the family's food, now supports her work with the pantry and
lends a hand by unloading food supplies at the pantry and helping in
other ways. "He bas a real big vision
of this thing," pastor Judy Caudill
said with a smile. "He sees big trucks
backing into a huge warehouse."
Both the food pantry and clothing
storeacceptdonationsofmoney, food
and clothing. "People have donated
quanitiesofclothing. Wehaveenough
clothes to last six months without
another donation. But," Judy Caudill
quickly added, "we want the donations."
Shirley added that the pantry is
looking for "people with a real need
for food."
The pantry is open from the 18th
to the last day of each month, with no
set hours. To visit the pantry on other
days, call Shirley Paige at 478-4587
and leave a message or call Monta

contesting those citations, which
came in a post-accident review that
resulted in disciplinary action against
two MSHA inspectors.
Holt, who worked in MSHA's
Pikeville office between 1986 and
August 1994, was also indicted on
one count of filing a false worker's
compensation documentwith the U.S.
Department of Labor last October.
McClanahan could get up to 32
years and a $1.25 million fine ifconvicted on all cooots. Holt faces up to
50 years in prison and a $1 million
fine.
J. Davitt McAteer, assistant labor
secretary for MSHA, said he was
taking steps to discharge
McClanahan.
Four inspectors from the Pikeville
MSHA office were indicted last year.
Three pleaded guilty and one was
convicted at trial.
McAteer said he does not believe
this rash ofindictments in Pike County
is proof of a broader problem in
MSHA management there, but he
said investigators are looking into
that possibility.

Marlow Tackett makes
Hillbilly Days extra-special
Pike County's Hillbilly Days always offer a variety
of entertainment, from crafting to square dancing. The
town vibrates and moves to the sound of the mountain
music that is an integral part of the celebration.
An important part of the musical entertainment
during the celebration, which will be held Apri120-22
this year, is the extravaganza performance by Marlow
Tackett Tackett's performance will be extra-special
this year because it will be videotaped by a national
production company for dissemination around the
world. Marlow and his band will perform about 5:30

That's the way I dialect it,
uh huh, uh huh
Once again a fellow Kentuckian has made a
derogatory statement about the way Eastern Kentuckians talk. I didn't even have to wonder whether or not
the person was alluding to Eastern Kentuckians
because she said straight out that "she made personal
judgments about people by the way they ~ed.
Particularly people from Eastern Kentucky.
The speaker whom I bad been listening to before
she made the s~tement and whom I was now forming
my own judgment about, was a psychologist Although she apologized for making these rash personal
assessments, she acknowledged that she could no~
help herself even when she knew that her evaluauo!l
was not always correct. Since she was a psychologiSt,
and I knew that her presentation would be dealing
with the way we perceive others and how "ftrst
expressions" sometimes ~loud our judgmen.ts of what
people are really like, I tned to reserve my JUdgment
on her, but I failed. She was addressing THIS Eastern
Kentuckian, and I immediately took offense to her
words.
the parade are something that visitors will never forget
According to Larry Webster, music coordinator of
the event, Marlow Tackett is the ultimate hillbilly,
"big-hearted, countrified, and full up to h.~ ears with
country music."
Marlow's Hillbilly Days' performance always is
slanted toward more traditional music and includes
some rousing renditions of traditional favorites, as well
as Marlow's usual up-tempo modern sounds.
For music lovers who love the country music of the
early '40s,legendary recording artists, The Mainers,
will bring back memories of country music in its early
years.
Making their third appearance at Hillbilly
Days, Wade and Julia Mainer, from Flint,
Michigan, have become well-known to
Pike County audiences. The Mainers
will perform Thursday and Friday
at the new bandstand in the
Pikeville City Park.
During the 1930s and
'40s, Wade Mainer was a
pioneer recording artist,
whose most famous
rendition is "Maple on the
Hill," flrst recorded in
1935.
Mainer, along with
his brother, J.E. Mainer,
came from North
Carolina to recording
prominence at a time
when the country music
industry was in its infancy.
The Mainers have been
one of the most popular oldtime bands on radio in the
1930s and '40s, as well as one of
the most prolific on record right up
to the 1990s
Mainer's wife, Julia, is an accomplished vocalist and a crowd favorite. Her
"What do you mean about Eastern Kentuckians?" I
asked in my backwoods nasal tone.
'Their flat i's and short a's. Their general speech
patterns" she stated matter-of-factly.
"Wo~ld it shock you to know that I'm from
Eastern Kentucky," I announced proudly.
"Not a bit, honey," she said with an amused grin
on her face.
"Well, I'm
getting a bit
defensive so I
blocked out the
last ten minutes
of your talk," I
Sara Hopson said with more
L..-s:;;;;::::;..;__ _ _ _ _ __. than an annoyed
Smile
Awhile
hint of nasal twanginess.
"I wasn't talking about you," she said quickly.
"You don't sound illiterate."
Wonder bow she arrived at that conclusion? Better
yet, I wondered bow she knew it was true if it were?
This woman didn't know me from squat. As far as she
knew, I could have been as dumb as a box of rocks.
Just minutes before, she had stated that she thought
the way we sounded is why she deemed us illiterate.

drove his car up a walkway and failed to heed other
officers' warnings to stop. As be emerged from his
car, officers said, he was holding his .357 Magnum.
His last statement before-being shot was that he
didn't need to stop because "My gun's bigger than
yours."
-- In August, nurse Bobbie-Heaney flied a lawsuit
against Dr. William Mcintosh after an incident in a
hospital delivery room in Odessa, Texas. Heaney
accused Mcintosh of deliberately squirting her in the
face with blood from an umbilical cord during an
argument.
- Recent use of biting by teachers for disciplinary
purposes: In November a private-school teacher in
Longueuil, Quebec, was charged with biting a
4-year-old boy on the arm; Montgomery, Ala.,
high-school coach Ed Donahoo resigned last summer
after biting a 15-year-old boy on the nose during
physical education class.
rendition of such old church songs as "Jonah" and a
song authored by her and Wade, "I Can't Sit Down"
invariably leaves a warm feeling in the crowd.
The Mainers are accomplished show people,
having spent well more than half a century on stage.
Wade will perform tricks with his banjo, which he
plays in a unique style. Wade Mainer was one of the
first banjo players to begin to "fmger pick" a banjo.
Wade's style of music is a transitional style
between the old fiddle bands and modern Bluegrass
bands which places emphasis on singing.
The Mainers' tunes tend toward sentimental
ballads, religious songs, and old-time party songs, all
played in the highest of moral tones by the deeply
religious Mainers.
Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its waaay!
So, just what does a rabbit have to do
with Easter?
Good question, glad you asked.
Rabbits have absolutely nothing to do
with Easter, which is the Christian celebration of the Resurrection.
How about Easter Eggs?
Nope, no connection.
Chocolate bunnies?
Huh uh.
Marshmallow peeps?
Negative.
Jellybeans?
Sorry.
Nothing you'll find in your Easter basket Sunday morning will have any relationship to the religious celebration of
Easter.
That hasn't stopped us from trying to
connect them, though, or to justify our
tradition of handing out Easter morning
goodies.
Eggs, for example, are considered to be
symbols of the renewal of life.
The Easter Bunny is a rabbit, and rabbits
are symbols offert.ility...new life.
Chocolate is a little harder to connect.
Eating it can be a religious experience,
though, we suppose. And, since Easter is
the most joyous of Christian events, we
might be able to justify chocolate as a
legitimate symbol.
After all, few things bring more joy than
biting the ears off a solid chocolate bunny.
Besides, feasting is a recognized part of
Easter. It doesn't really matter what you
eat.
Fact is, there are only two things that
matter when it comes to commemorating
Easter.
First and foremost is an understanding
of the reason for the season.
Rule numbertwo: always raid the Easter
basket before you get decked out for
church.
It's one thing to put on your Easter
bonnet, with all the frills upon it, but you
do.n't want chocolate smears and sticky
fingers to mess up your Sunday's best.
Gotta watch out for the Easter bees, too.

So how do you ''not" sound illiterate if you talk like
an Eastern Kentuckian? I don't think people from
Paris, France, are illiterate just because I don't
understand what they say and they sound funny.
That's their own personal dialect, and I respect that in
a language, don't you? Maybe people in Eastern
France get the same rap as we Eastern Kentuckians
do. Yet, while I was deciding whether to "tell her off'
or just let her words roll off my back, I knew I bad to
tell her how I felt. I got the opportunity when she
walked to the table where I was seated.
"Pardon me," I stated boldly. "I know I don't
sound sophisticated and intellectual, but nevertheless
I can read and write so I'm not illiterate. Many years
ago, I beard my voice via a tape recording and I
couldn't believe it was me. "Who is that?" I asked my
mother. "It's you, Sara. Actually it sounds better than
you do," she laughed. It was a traumatic event All
those years I thought I sounded like Jackie "0" or
Diane Sawyer (she's from Kentucky), or some other
highly intelligent, sophisticated female. I was
shocked. After that experience, I tried very bard to
alter my speech pattern and improve my diction and
(See Smile, B 7)
Fans of government conspiracy stories will love
this movie. It goes beyond secret human radiation
experiments and hiding alien bodies from a UFO crash
in the desert. This one, although thankfully fictional, is
chilling and horrific at the same time.
The year is 1967; the place is Zaire. Army doctors
in protective gear are studying a group of mercenaries
dying from a particularly voracious virus. Since they
can't seem to come up with any medical answers, they
reach a chilling final solution: Blow up the entire area,
annihilating everyone and everything in it, thereby
successfully checking the spread of the virus. The
deed is done and everyone involved considers that
that's the end of it.
Lo and behold, 30 years later, Dr. Sam Daniels
(Dustin Hoffman), a military infectious disease doctor,
finds himself in Zaire studying a rapid-spreading virus
which kills its victims in little more than 24 hours. He
goes back to the States to warn his superiors that this
virus could spread easily throughout the world.
His superiors, Gen. Billy Ford (Morgan Freeman)
and Gen. McClintock (Donald Sutherland), were in on
the original coverup and they're not about to let the cat
out of the bag. They order Dr. Daniels off the case.
Daniels isn't one to take no for an answer. He
warns his ex-wife, Robby (Rene Russo), who is also a
doctor, to let medical personnel around the country
know about this. When the virus predictably shows up
in California, Daniels commandeers a plane (against
orders) to go there in order to ftght the virus.
McClintock and Ford once again propose to blow
up the entire town and Daniels, along with his protege.
played by Cuba Gooding, Jr., find themselves fighting
the Army and the disease.
Everything in this movie is stunning, from the
special effects to the script to the directing to the
acting. However, it's not for the squeamish. Some of
the scenes involving people dying from the virus are
quite graphic and gory. If you can get past that. you
shouldn't miss this flick.

A new business idea has you excited and you '11 get right to work on it
in the beginning of the week. You'll
speak out at a group meeting to
good effect. However, your
approach with family members
should be more gentle.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
You'll get right to the point in talks
with higher-ups this week but
choose your words carefully so as
not to alienate others. If you're
pointing a fmger at someone, it
won't be appreciated. Couples
enjoy a special outing.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You're good at giving advice generally, but to be truly effective,
measure your words with diplomacy this week. A project at home
consumes much of your time
toward the end of the week. This
weekend, guard your tongue.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Important talks center around
financial issues now. Be sure to listen to the other party's point of
view since what's being said is for
your ultimate benefit. A hobby is
captivating. Accept partnerships
over the weekend.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Bend over backward to be cooperative with close ties this week since
nothing less will -satisfy. You could
say something hurtful inadvertently
and then find yourself with apologies to make later in the week. A
co-worker is sympathetic.
VIRGO (August 23 to

peace and quiet over hectic socializing since you need to recharge
your batteries. If a child gets on
your nerves this week, try not to
overreact.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Social life is uplifting this week and you'll be introduced to new subjects of interest.
However, home life could be upset
in some unexpected way. Try to
take this in stride as much as possible.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) You'll be happily
engaged this week with a businessrelated project. This is both stimulating and challenging for you.
Think before you act in personal
dealings or you could say something you'lllater regret.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Business is perhaps
best conducted alone early in the
week, especially if you're hot under
the collar about something. Turn
your attention to cultural interests
as the week progresses. This weekend, friends are good company.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Don't be quick to take
offense if someone says the wrong
thing this week. Overreacting only
adds to the contentious aunosphere.
Though you're sharp mentally, it's
still best to avoid ideological disputes.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) You'll enjoy wonderful rapport
with a partner this week. However,
you could overhear something
which rubs you the wrong way.
Chalk this up to idle minds and
petty gossip. A research project is
rewarding.

According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling
Industries, using recycled
paper instead of virgin
wood pulp to produce a ton
of new paper consumes 64
percent less energy and 50
percent less water. It
results in 74 percent less
air pollution and 35 percent
less water pollution. It also
saves 17 trees, and creates
five times more jobs.
When the steel recycled from old automobiles,
obsolete appliances, and
used cans is recycled,
Mother Earth wins. The
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) cites significant pluses in using recy!t cled iron and steel instead
of virgin ore to make new
products: 74 percent energy savings, 90 percent
savings in virgin materials use, 86 percent reduction in air pollution, 40
percent reduction in water
use, 76 percent reduction
in water pollution, 97 percent reduction in mining
wastes, and 105 percent

that matching FICA/ HI Insurance, Unemployment Insurance, employee
health insurance and utilities must be paid from fees from the county

County workers said to be
eyeing union representation
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Some Floyd County government employees
are eyeing the possibility of union representation, apparently in response to some changes in
the way local government business is being conducted.
Alan Whicker, local organizer for the United
Steelworkers' Union, said Tuesday that he had
been contacted last week by a county employee,
who inquired about union representation.
"Someone contacted me the other day about
setting up a meeting, but they didn't know
when," Whicker said. "I haven't heard from
them since."
Floyd Judge-Executive Bob Meyer said
Tuesday that he has not been approached about
the issue.
"I've talked to individual folks about individual issues of concern, but no group of
employees have talked to me about concerns,"
Meyer said. "I'd truly like to hear any employees' concerns, but I haven't been approached."
Some county workers are apparently concerned that some fellow employees have been
suspended from their jobs for doing work on
private property since Meyer was appointed
judge-executive last month.
Meyer ~onfirmed Tuesday that three county
road workers were suspended for three days
without pay for "using county equipment and
resources on private property."
Meyer explained that one employee was suspended on one occasion and two other workers
were suspended on a different occasion for
working on private property.

that he is the ftrst announced

County Judge-Executive.
At Monday's Wheelwright City

''This is my last nigbt, I'm

"That's it I quit"
"Luther is running for county

Osborne school officials arc asking city and county officials for their
help to provide water to the school.
In a letter to Wheelwright City
Commissioners, Osbome principal
Paul Tackett asked that the s~hool be
hooked up to the Beaver Elkhorn or
Wheelwright Utility Commission's
water system .
Water to the school is being provided by a drilled well and pump
system, Tackett said, but difficulties
with the system have forced school
officials to dismiss classes several
times.
WheelwrightMayorDavidMarlee
Sammons told commissioners the issue needs to be addressed.
"The kids can't drink the water,"
Sammons said. "They have to carry
their drinking water to school. I propose we put in waterlines to tic on our
system. We have to try to figure out
how to get water down there."
Tackell's Jetter wa<> also sent to
Judge-Executive Bob Meyer, who
said Tuesday that it's an issue that
needs to be addressed.
There are water lines within several miles on eithersideoftheschool,
owned by Beaver Elkhorn Water and
the Wheel wright Utility Commission.
Also at Monday' smeeting, Mayor
Sammons reported that water samples
taken from the Jacks Creek area show
that there is sludge in the water system.
Officials with the state's Division
of Water will be called in to test the
water, Sammons said, which officials suspect is being caused by a
company mining in the area.
"If it gets in our water tank, it' 11
hurt us all," Sammons said. "We've
got one of the best water systems in
lhe country."
"It's one of the highest," Russell
Johnson commented, "I don't know
if it's the best."
Sammons said he will work with
county officials to see if the issue can

was to be done. There she underwent a complete workup, includiug 1he insertion of a catheter in
her chest, mrough which the
bone marrow would pass during
'the transplant and later, her medications would be administered.•
She also found an apartment
in which to stay after the transplant In order to meet the strict
requirements of the hospital to
provide a clean environment the
apartment was freshly painted
and new carpeting was installed.
On August 8 Jackson and
Samons left for Columbia to set
up their apartment before
Jackson entered the hospital on
the lOth. In an interesting coincidence, the doctor for whom
Jackson worked at Our Lady of
the Way, Dr. Abhyankar, was in
the process of advancing his
training at Richland and thus
became I ackson' s doctor.
"He gave me so much support, here ~ there," she says. It
was Dr. Abbyankar who first
recognized Jackson's symptoms
as those of CML.

w1th her sister Lucy Samons.
"She's a part of me now," she
says. While the sentiment is one
voiced by many siblings, for
Jackson and Samons it is literally true. On August 18, 1994
Jackson's sister provided her
with the bone marrow necessary
to save her life.
Jackson was working as a
nurse at Our Lady of the Way
Hospital in Martin when she was
diagnosed as having Chronic
Myelogenous Leukemia (CML).
CML results when one chromosome, Chromosome 22, breaks
off and attaches to another,
Chromosome 9. Being a nurse
didn't help Jackson when she
first heard the diagnosis.
"I knew the odds," she says
quietly, "I didn't want to accept
it."
After the diagnosis, a search
was conducted for a suitable
donor of bone marrow for a
transplant. Her sister was a perfect match.
In June, Jackson went to

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
We're closer
than you think
by Scott Perry
Can Eastern Kentucky become
a tourist Mecca to rival the likes
of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina or Branson, Missouri?
Don't look now, but we are
closer than you think.
It is interesting to note, as The
Wall Street Journal did Tuesday, that Myrtle Beach is now
the third most popular destination for travelers in this country.
More than 12 million vacationers visited the "Grand
Strand" last year, twice the number who vacationed in Hawaii.
What makes Myrtle Beach so
attractive to leisure seekers?
Well, it is right there on the
ocean.
Surprise.
It ain't the water.
Myrtle Beach was just a seasonal stopover until very recently, when local promoters set
the resort area on a new course
of diversity.
Adding to the natural lure of
the ocean and its beaches, the
town began developing a night
life through country music theatres and a year-round tourism
draw through the development
of championship golf courses.
Those offerings helped Myrtle
Beach offset inadequate roads
leading into the area and helped
the community bag a sizable
share of the $400 billion spent
Those critics of tax breaks for
businesses also base their theories on the disparities between rich
and poor on a misconception that
big business drives the fortunes of
our economy.
Truth is, though, that small business is the backbone of America,
and government regulations are
Editor:

thank the Left Beaver Rescue Squad

during last week's forest fires.
Also, our friends and neighbors
for their help. We '11 always be grateful.
Thanks again, and our rescue
squad is certainly a blessing to our
community.
Seeks information
annually on travel.
It didn't hurt to em ploy a massive marketing campaign to attract thousands Qf vacationers
who, statistics show, are looking for somewhere fresh and
different to spend their time
away from the job.
That folks, is our cue.
Eastern Kentucky has been
laying a foundation to get into
the tourism act and the time is
ripe to get ambitious.
Our lakes are natural attractions; the Kentucky Opry and
Jenny Wiley Theatre can satisfy
the tastes for the arts; the Appalachian Village at Paintsville
Lake can draw the culturists and
Thunder Ridge (should it
survive... we hope) can slake the
thirst of gamblers and racing
enthusiasts.
Adding a couple of championship golf courses (golf is the
fastest growing leisure activity
in the world) can only help, and
the quicker we get them built,
the better.
Toss in a major marketing effort and voila, we're a player in
the big time.
Word is we've got about 20
years left to depend on the coal
business.
We could be mining some big
tourism bucks long before then
if we play our cards right
Anyone up for a game of
chance?
Vocational training includes
course work for jobs that are obsolete or technologically irrelevant.
It is no longer practical to ask kids
what they want to be when they
grow up.
It's ne.cessary now for them to
determine what they can be, then
tailor their educations to meet those
requirements.
Otherwise they'll qualify for lowpaying jobs or no jobs at all.

Editor:
A neighbor and friend wanted me
to go the courthouse for moral support, so I did, never knowing I was
going to stand before the judge.
I don't think we should have been
called up front, but since he asked us,
I told our judge that Sam, my neighbor, was one of the 60 or 70 percent
of the people in Floyd County that

While the New York Times laments that tax breaks and tax cuts
are to blame for widening the gap
between the rich and poor in this
country, the more rational folks in
the business world suspect different causes.
Atop our particular list of problems is an inadequate system of
higher education, including colleges and vocational training, which
lacks the flexibility to prepare young
people for the ever-changing face
of our economy.
Colleges still tum out graduates
who are unemployable, and vo-ed
schools aren't keeping pace with
rapid changes in technology.
We have college grads with history or English degrees standing in
lines for jobs in fast food restaurants because their college diplomas are basically worthless.
it
mean with a rage of authority. I didn't
know what to think, it made me sick.
I haven't been talked to like that since
I was a child. I feel so sorry for poor
people that has to go down there and
be talked to like a dog like I was.
I believe we can do something
about that if we poor people would
stand together. Let's try, okay?
I hate to pay my taxes down there
and pay them fat cats for nothing.
They act like they own that courthouse. They don't realize that the
poor working man put them in business.
I thought when I was told to leave,
what if I had been working at the
swimming hole and stolen that
money? They would have put me in
jail the rest of my life and kicked my
behind, or any other poor person and
if they had found that dope on some
poor boy, I wonder what they would
have done with him? That guy went
free. How could they do that? I'll
never know.
If I ever do enough that I have to
go to court, I hope I never have to be
tried in Floyd County. I would be
afraid since I was treated like a dog
down there last week and the people
there knew that I was.
The 911? I want my money back.
Idon'tneedthe911. I have neighbors
that will take me to the hospital. I
wouldn't trust them fat cats in Prestonsburg with nothing.
I can't believe that they can take
that money and get by with it. They
don't even have to pay a fine, just
spend the money and go on their
merry way.
I'm glad I don'tneed that bunch
down there. If I need help, I will call
the state police. I would be happy to
know that my tax money went to our
state police. What would we do without them? We poor people would be
hurting.
When election time comes around
again, let's not make the same mistake. We poor people can make a
change. I believe there are some honestpeopleinFloydCounty. Wedon't
need people from out of town to have
our garbage and try to straighten up
the courthouse. We can do that when
we vote them fat cats out.
I don't see how they would be
allowed to hold office after all the
money they have stolen. Looks like
that would be a no no.

In our business alone, the costs
associated with health insurance
and Worker's Compensation coverage directly affects the number
of people we can afford to employ.
Add in our taxes and costs of com·
plying with this act and that, and
cut the job opportunities even further.
Certainly there are needs for
regulations and safety in business,
but penalizing responsible companies for the deeds of irresponsible
employers is, well, irresponsible.
Plus, it reduces opportunity and
perpetuates need.
The rich get richer, the poor get
poorer, and middle American businesses pay both of the tabs.

The Democratic ticket includes
Penny Hoeflinger, a former selfproclaimed witch.
Hoeflingerhas apparently retired
from the business of spellcasting
to get into the business of votecasting, which may not be so dramatic a change of pace.
Too bad she's not on the Republican side, though.

When the officials of any government fail to do theirjob, are incompetent or breach the public trust, they
should be removed from office. When
the laws are not enforced, selectively
enforced or enforced unequally (special favors for ones with$$ or power)
then the people need to take the law
into their hands. The rally on Saturday was a first step in putting Floyd
County back into the hands of the
people.
For too many years Floyd County
has been likeMCI. ''Friends and Family" Government has benefited those
in power, their families and groupies
while the taxpayers who foot the bill
have gone ignored and unnoticed. In
a ploy for votes, those on welfare
have better roads, water and benefits
ofour tax dollars than do the working
people.
You will find every subsidized
housing unit with city water and paved
roads as well as fire hydrants. Take
Ivy Creek as a case in point. The
subsidized housing units have city
water, paved roads, such thatitis, and
fire hydrants. Those of us up the
street have none of that. Our pleas for
city water and for someone to fix our
road which has been destroyed by
heavy truck traffic has fallen on deaf
ears. One excuse we got was that
"there were not enough Democrat
voters up our end of the hollow."
There has been illegal dumping of
pollutants (paint, thinners, chemicals)
into Ivy Creek, our water is not fit to
drink due to long term blasting and
no one seems tocareaboutanyofitchoosing to ignore our calls and letters asking for help.
The magistrates have enough
money to buy new trucks but can't
patch our road-come on! As for
911, I urge everyone to quit paying
the 89¢ a month surcharge until our
money has been found. Sure, funds
have been transferred, but what happened to the original $800,000-plus.
Pike County is going to an enhanced

Well, he's wrong.
We're a member of the media,
and we don't think much of legislative ethics.
As a matter of fact, we'd prefer
that the General Assembly not enact laws requiring public officials to
behave responsibly.
We'd rather catch them stuffing
their pockets, short-shrifting the
voters and generally acting as
though they are above the law.
If we made it illegal for legislators
to leech off the public and private
interests, things sure could get dull
in a hurry in the newspaper business.
That may sound a bit selfish,
we'll admit, but hey, this is Kentucky. We've got traditions to maintain.

Johnson has had a controversial

According to court records, all
charges against Johnson were dismissed. Johnson also stated on the

leaving these decisions to your

National Medical Laboratory week celebrated at 0 LOW
The 265,000 medical laboratory
professionals who perform and interpret laboratory tests once again are
celebrating their profession during
National Medical Laboratory Week
1995-April16-22. The weekisatime
to recognize the vital role these professionals play in health care. As the
1995 theme proclaims, they are key
members of the health care team.
These highly educated and experienced professionals use state-of-theart technology and instrumentation
Demand for the specialized services of medical laboratory professionals has increased as medical
knowledge has grown and as new,
sophisticated treatments have
evolved. For example, organ transplantation, which has become routine surgery in many large hospirals,
was just theory 25 years ago. The
aging of the American population
has created a greater and more frequent need for testing, as well. The
to help prevent disease by finding
unexpected health problems such as
high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels. Thus the laboratory is at
the forefront of preventive medicine-an important aspect of health
care reform efforts. Laboratory professionals aid in screening for existing conditions, confirming a diagnosis and monitoring treatment to guide
choices of medication and therapy.
Laboratory tests are often credited
with detecting disease in its earliest
stages, when the possibilities of a
cure are greatest and when treatment
is least costly.
U .S. has also experienced a resurgence of diseases thought to be
irradicated, such as tuberculosis and
polio, and researchers are discover-
ing new diseases and their complications-the deadliest is AIDS which
creates many related problems by
suppressing the natural immune system.
Throughout National Medical
Laboratory Week, Our Lady of the
Way Hospital will recognize the laboratory professionals by displaying
information throughout the hospital
as well as distributing information to
patients and visitors. Medical laboratory professionals are key members
of the healthcare team!

records, write standard operating procedures, keep files, and conduct safety
meetings for all the city's departments.
Mayor Jerry Fannin said the sug-
gestion for a safety officer was given
by a representative from the Kentucky League of Cities. The suggestion was made because the city's
workers' compensatinn insurance
costs have been rising steadily.
A safety officer should help lower
the city's workers' compensation by
making sure safety measures arc used.
A safety officer will also help the city
comply with any requirements man-
dated by OSHA, the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration.
The other meeting was on Monday with the traffic committee to discuss road improvements by the May
House and at Brookside on Route 3.
No recommendations were made at
that time.
Fannin and all committee members were present for both meetings.
Jane Bond, health educator at the
Floyd County Health Department,
will be the guest speaker at the meeting ofJenny Wiley Chapter No. 3528,
A.A.R.P. to be held Friday, Apri121,
in the cafeteria of Highlands Regional
Medical Center.
The dinner will begin at 5:30 and

Remembering '58;
Big Ten school
interested in Hall
Do you ever sit around
and remembering your days
in high school, especially
your senior year?
The other day while
thinking about those bygone days, I remembered
the good times we had in
school. I must admit, my
junior and senior years at
Martin High School held the
best of memories.
What got me started on
all this was a clipping from
an old Courier-Journal
newspaper and it was dated
1958, the year I g:aduated.
The article dealt with the
all-state team back then and
I remembered some of those
fine basketball players.
While we did not have
anyone on the first team allstate, Porter Powers of
Auxier did make the second
team all-state.
I remember Powers when
he played for the Hornets. I
never did think he got the
coverage that he deserved.
He was an outstanding basketball player.
Another one that I remember was Betsy Layne's
Ray Clarke. He was named
to the state's third team that
year.
He was a very good basketball player and very deserving ofthe honor. I really
think he should have been
on the second team, but that's
just my opinion.
Remember the Carr
Creek teams? That year they
had a fellow by the name of
Jim Calhoun, and Hazard
had Bobby Baker. Both were
just fine, fine basketball
players. They were named
third team all-staters. Bob
Greene of Olive -Hill was
another mountain boy who
made the team.
My good buddy Edgle
"Bide" Click, Martin Purple
Flash, was an honorable
mention that year. I can still
remember the day that Bide
received his letter from the
Courier-Joumal.
RogerBakerfrom Wheelwright was an honorable
mention as well. Another
Trojan, Jody Sword, made
the list. Maytown's Bucky
Ellis made the honorable
mention list, as did
McDowell's Bobby King.
Richard Reynolds, Betsy
Layne, teamed with Ray
Clarke at Betsy Layne. Reynolds was an all-state honorable mention.
I remember Ellis well. He
was an outstanding baseball
player, too. Wonder whatever happen to Bucky? I hit
a grand slam home run off
him once. Just once.
1958 was a wonderful
year. I remember it well.
Prestonsburg AAU All-Stars advance
to state tournament play at Dunbar
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Coach Bobby Hackworth's 11year-old AAU basketball team had
their season extended to include a
trip to Lexington next weekend and a
chance to win a state tournament.
The Prestonsburg team defeated
Dorton 41-38 in overtime to win their
regional tournament and a chance to
play in the state tournamentatDunbar
High School in Lexington.
Ryan Martin completed a threepoint play in the overtime that gave
Prestonsburg a three-point lead.
Dorton had the last shot at the basket
as they launched a three-point at-
temptthathadPrestonsburgfansholding their breath. He missed.
However, the shooter was fouled
behind the three-point circle by Josh
Murdock and awarded three attempts
from the charity stripe.
Dorton missed all three of the attempts and the celebration began.
Martin bad stole the ball on an
inbounds play by Dorton, after Shawn
Newsome had tied the game with a
basket Martin then turned and laid
the ball in while being fouled.
Newsome had four points for
Prestonsburg in the extra period and
fmished the game with 13 points.
RamandaMusicadded five points
and Matt Turner sc<X'ed eight Josh
Murdock scored one.
"Everyone on this team contributed," said Hackworth. "I'm proud
of them and they did better than was
expected. They jelled real well together and never quit."
Prestonsburg's lone loss during
the regular season came at the hands
of the Dorton team.
Ryan Martin led Prestonsburg's
scoring with 14 points.
"We are a small team," said
Hackworth. "Ramanda is our biggest
player and we depend on her for
rebounding and put backs.
"We are a pressing team and get a

.Hillbilly Classic to field eight teams
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Pikeville High School's Hillbilly
Day Classic baseballtoumamenthas
become one of the premier events in
the spring, and rightly so.
Pikeville head coach Dave Thomas brings in some of the top talent in
the region as well as from out of the
region.
However, the most of the outside
teams may be missing this year.
Breathitt County will be the lone outside competition, but that doesn't
mean the field will not be competitive.
Back safely!
The warm spring weather has brought out the baseball fans as the
different leagues around the county are getting underway. The Floyd
County Babe Ruth league got started this past Friday with a prep league
game that these two players were a part of. (photo by Ed Taylor)
Coach Thomas has put together
some of the area's top teams and they
hail from the 15th Region. Three of
those come from Floyd County.
Betsy Layne, Allen Central and
South Floyd will be part of the eight
team field that Coach Thomas has
assembled.
The Classic will be divided into
two divisions, four teams in each.
Allen Central (5-3), Pikeville,
Breathitt County and Pike Central
will form Division I.
3 p.m. Delfry and Millard will meet
in the first game while South Floyd
faces Betsy Layne at 5 p.m.
At 7 p.m. Breathitt County takes
on Pike Central and Allen Central
will face Breathitt County at 9 p.m.
It will be a full day of baseball
Saturday with five games on tap.
Betsy Layne will have barely gotten
the sleep out of their eyes when they
face Belfry at 11 a.m.
Allen Central faces Pike Central
at 1 p.m. with Pikeville and Breathitt
County squaring off at 3 p.m. The 5
p.m. game will be the final in the
round robin tournament as South
Floyd plays Millard.
The championship game will follow at 7 p.m.
For area baseball fans, you don't
want to miss this one. The Classic is
loaded with some very talented players and good baseball will be the
order of the day.
Betsy Layne (9-1), South Floyd
(1-9), Millard and Belfry make up
Division II.
Each team will play each other in
their respective division. The teams
from each division with the best
records will meet for the championship Saturday evening.
The first round gets underway tonight (Wednesday) when Allen Central faces a good Pikeville team. The
last time the two teams met, Pikeville
won a thriller 8-7 in a come-frombehind effort. The first pilch is scheduled to be thrown at 5 p.m.
Three games highlight tomorrow
night's action as Betsy Layne faces
Millard in a 4:30 p.m. start. Betsy
Layne mercied the Mustangs in their
only meeting this season.
Coach Donnie Daniels South
Floyd Raiders will square off against
the Belfry Pirates at 6:30p.m. Coach
Daniels ballclub has been impressive
at times, but hasn't been able to get
that timely hitting this season.
In a battle of Pikeville teams, Pike
Central will face Coach Thomas'

Ratcliff----------------Early going Hot-Not list
•
•
Let me see, yep, we're just about
a quarter of the way through the 1995
season. All the battle lines have been
fumly established by now, and it is
relatively safe to say that we can go
ahead and briefly summarize the
opening to yet another Winston Cup
season.
But let's have some fun with it.
How about a good ole "Hot vs Not"
list? Here we go.
Hot- Definitely the Monte Carlo.
Seven races, seven wins, enough said.
Wait, here's a side note ....Look for
the folks at NASCAR to give the
Ford and Pontiac teams some more
rear spoiler by the time the series hits
Charlotte in late May. Word has it at
this may be their solutions to make
the Ford and Pontiac teams a little
more competitive.
Not- Kenny Bernstein's Quaker
State team. Failure to qualify in the
last two races has resulted in the
dismissal of sprint car champ turned
stock car driver, Steve Kinser. Hut
Stricklin now takes over the reigns to
try to re-establish some credibitlity to
this fumbling team that has always
been relatively competitive on the
Winston Cup circuit.
Hot - Jeff Gordon. Three wins,
four top-fives, four top-tens, and four
pole positions. We all knew it would
happen, but did you think "the kid"
would come along so quickly?
Not - Junior Johnson's Hooter
team. Loy Allen left the team after
failing to make three races. Hut
Stricklin also failed to qualify the car
at Bristol. This is one team that is
badly in need of some kind of salvation.
Hot - Car owner, Rick Hendrick.
Of the season's first seven races, his
teams have won four of them. Granted
that Jeff Gordon h<ts three of
Hendrick's wins, but Terry Labonte
and Ken Schrader have flexed their
muscle at times. And also, Hendrick
engines may be found under the hood
of Bobby Labonte and Steve
Grissom's car, both ofwhich have
been relatively successful in the
season's early going.
Not- Kyle Petty. Yes, he's been
among the front-runners on several
occasions. But to date, Kyle has only
one top ten finish. One would think
that with back-to-backfifth-place finishes in the final point standings in
'92and '93, Kyle would be more of a
factor.
Hot-SterlingMarlin.HisDaytona
500 victory coupled with his win in
the Darlington "slugfest" have him
tightly entrenched in battle with Dale
Earnhardt.
Not- Joe Nemechek. This second
year driver elected to form his own
team for 1995. Could this have been
a mistake? How does 35th in points,
zero top-tens and more sheet metal
damage than the team can handle
sound? Maybe he bit off a little more
than he could chew.
Hot- Dale Earnhardt. I Ie seems to
be intent of championship number
eight. 1Ic has one win, and has only
finished out of the top five once.
Here's a new one.
Lukewann - Rusty Wallace and
Mark Martin. Both drivers arc making some noise and they will definilely become hot in the very near
future.
And finally, how about those who
have shown a spark? Derrike Cope,
Bobby Labonte, and Bobby Hamilton
all deserve some recognition. These
three drivers didn't receive a lot of
credibility entering the season. However, each ha~ had an impact., and is
showing definite improvement as the
year pa-;scs on.

after knee surgery. It just shows how
much heart you have.
"This year, definitely this year.
We accomplished things we never
thought were possible."
Ratcliff will leave Prestonsburg
High School with some pretty impressive stats. She averaged over 18
points per game; pulled down an average of9.3 rebounds; and dished off
seven assists per contest. She also
averaged four steals per game, indicating her ability to play defense.
Ratcliff will be known more for
her unselfish play and her ability to
be a team leader. Coach Tackett said
that would be a plus for her at Lincoln.
"Jamie has a great attitude, and
very good work ethics and heart. She
is very dedicated and is a quality
person. She will bring all that to the
program there at Lincoln," he said. "I
see her playing quite a bit as a freshman."
But Coach Tackett admitted that
Ratcliff bas some adjusting to do.
"She's going to have to get physically stronger because it's a much
rougher game," he stated. "She will
have to take what the defense gives
her. They play mostly man-to-man in
college and in high school there is a
lot of zone. She is going to have to
learn to create a lot."
Ratcliff was named to the 58th
District All-Tournament team this
past season as well as the All-Floyd
County team. She was a member of
the Pikeville Invitational All-Tournament team at the start of last season.
She was the winner of the Jack
"Frost" Wells, Hubbard C. "Huck"
Francis Memorial Award her junior
year. The criteria for such awards
were: sportsmanship, grades, leadership, spiritual attitude, citzensbip,
value to team, 110 percent effort,
ability, morals, improvement and
character.
At the Morehead State University
Lady Eagle basketball camp, Ratcliff
was named to the All-Star team and
was the camp's "GOTCHA" champion.
She bas been named to Who's
Who In Sports and is a member of the
National Honor Society.
"I'm thrilled. I'm excited," said
Coach Tackett about the signing.
''What can you say? I'm a parent and
it's a parent's dream to have a child to
go to college."
"I just want to thank everyone
that's made this possible for our
daughter," said Mrs. Ratcliff.
"We're thrilled to death," said her
father Raymond. "I don't think it bas
hit us yet. A four-year scholarshipit just hasn't soaked in yet.
"I appreciate all the help that Coach
Tackett and Mrs. Trivette have given
her," he said.

who have stood behind her all these
years.
''They have given me so much,"
she said. "You just can't imagine

"You have to have good parents
who are always supporting you to be
a successful athlete. That makes all
the difference in the world."
Ratcliff stated how the hard work
she has had to put in through the years
has paid off and, hopefully, it will be
rewarded yet with playing time at the
college level.
"Hopefully, I'll get a lot of playing time," she said. "He (the representative for Lincoln Memorial) was

Paintsville's Blue Legend
retires after 44 seasons
In the fall of 1951 Walter Brugh
was on the staff of the Paintsville
Tigers football team when they played
their first game against the Wayland
Wasps.
As fate would have it, Wayland
was coached by the legendary Gamis
Martin, who would later become the
winningest coach in Kentucky football history.
It was fate in that Brugh would on
October 15, 1993 break Martin's
record and replace him a.c; Kentucky's
winningest high school football
coach.
Brugh spent 44 years with the
Paintsville team, five as an assistant,
and became the team's head coach in
1956. From that time on he would
guide the Tigers to 279 wins, his final
victory coming over Fairview last
season. His overall record reads 279136-5.
He announced his retirement Monday night, although he really made
his decision about three weeks ago.
"I didn't even know all that time
had passed," Brugh said. "I didn't
know how old I was. I kept looking at
myself and knew it was coming
sooner or later. It finally hit me between the eyes."
Coach Brugh led his 1978 and '85
Tiger teams to a runners-up finish in
the state title game.
He is synonymous with Paintsville
football.
He is Paintsville football.
"In a way, it has been emotional,"
Brugh confessed. "But it wasn't a
hard decision because I feel good
about what I've done in the past. I just
feel fortunate to be able to participate
for these many number of years."
Brugh built a mini-dynasty from
1976-80, when he had five consecutive 10-win or better seasons.
Brugh coached a future NFL
player, Tony Mayes, and an AllAmerican, Mike "the Missile" Minix,
during his Paintsville tenure.
He also coached star Joey Couch,
who would later play at Kentucky.
"I'm really happy to have been
part of such a fine program and
school," he said. "I'm hoping and
praying that it will continue."
Brugh wasn't always thought as
being just a high school coach. He
had opportunities to move up in the
ranks and coach college ball.
But he said he had no regrets.
buried out there, Idon'tknow. lf(the
players) are not doing the things that
I want them to do, I'll reach up and
pull them down there with me."
The Legendary coach said that
much of his success was due to the
support of his wife Nancy, whoretired from her bank job last year.
Has she been in charge all these
years?
"That's right," Bn.gh said with a
wide grin. "Absolutely. She's my
right arm and she's done a great job.
I don't know what I could've done
without her through the years that she
has put up with me and all of this
football stuff."
A successor hasn't been named to
replace Brugh. Whoever it will be,
Brugh's act is going to be hard to
follow.

entered the picture, according to Hall's parents.
Marshall showed considerable interest earlier, but a
junior college transfer
quenched the interest until
recently.
Hall had 10 points in the
all-star game and several
key assists. He won the
three-point shootout and
that drew a lot of attention.
Of course, everyone in
the 15th Region has seen
Hall's ability to hit the treys.
Other area NAIA schools
have expressed an interest
in Hall as well.
His choice? I believe it
would be Marshall University under Billy Donovan.

by the NBA?
The players are so egocentric and they do not have
the best interest of their respective teams at heart.
Charles Barkley is a case
(and he is) in point. Called
for his sixth flagrant foul of
the season (that's terrible),
he has been suspended one
game and will miss a very
important game conference
game against the Los
Angles Lakers.
Did it upset the "Mound
of Rebound" when he
learned of the suspension?
No.
"I'll just go and play golf,"
he said without a care.
Millions spoil. Pitiful is
what it is.
DRIFT PARK•••
This past Saturday I went
to Drift to cover the Betsy
Layne/South Floyd high
school game. The game was
played at the new Drift Park
where old Drift Park used
to be.
Well, if you know Terry
Mullins, you know that he
likes to reminiscence as well
as I do.
He talked about the days
when the old park was there
and he playing his high
school games there.
I noticed the way the park
looked this time and I was
pleasantly surprised.
The infield on that field
was super. The weeds had
all been cut beyond the outfield and the whole place
was cleaned up and in great
shape.
South Floyd coach
Donnie Daniels told me that
it was his players who
worked so hard on the field.
Some volunteer help came
in and cut the trees and
weeds in the outfield area.
When all the brush had
been cut away, the old
scoreboard of the old Drift
Park was plainly revealed.
"We could clean it up,
paintitandletsomeone take ·
chalk and mark the score,"
said Mullins. I tell you, he's
always thinking.
South Floyd is the host
school for the 58th District
baseball tournament and it
could very well be played
at the Drift Park, according
to Coach Daniels, and
deservingly so. The field is
in very good shape and there
is plenty of parking. That's
the place to have it.
Little League season is
here. Support those kids.
Just enjoy the season.
Until Friday, good sports
everyone and be good
sports.

�WE CAN NO LONGER BASK
IN OUR PEACEFUL IGNORANCE
In a recent article, syndicated columnist Carl
Rowan made the following observation: "This county has become so violent that these sentences sum up
myriad tragic vignenes of our time:
• 'The supervisor kept promoting other people
over me, so I just went to the office and shot the S-OB.'
•
• 'My boyfriend said he wanted me but not my
children, so I drowned my kids. '
• 'I asked him to give me his sneakers and he got
huffy, so I showed him who was toughest. I shot him.'
• 'My parents abused me, so when I couldn't take
it anymore I took a shotgun and killed them while
they were watching Tv.'"
Unless you've been hibernating for the past 10
years, you'll have to agree that these statements pretty much tell the tale as to the direction our society has
taken.
It's my opinion that the key word here is our. It
didn't used to be like that.
Sheltered by the mountains, for years, we
Eastern Kentuckians have pretty well been immune
to much of what's taking place in larger cities across
the country. However, you don't have to be a brain
surgeon to realize that the world is shrinking rapidly
and we're no longer just citizens of Appalachia. We
have, whether we like it or not, become residents of
this whole planet.
Those days of living off by ourselves and, in a
sense, minding our
own business, are
gone
forever.
Orwell's prediction

actually running the
country) starting to peek over the mountaintops, but
he's also-lock, stock and barrel-set up homesteading just down the road.
Recent local events (I'll spare you the gory
details) depicting attitudes like those mentioned by
Rowan have, just as surely as somebody will set the
woods on ftre at about this time every year, made us
realize that we can no longer bask in our peaceful
ignorance while the rest of the world goes by.
Wednesday, April19, 1995
So, what are we going to do about it?
I know, we could form a committee to look into
it. (Oops, sorry. Sometimes my background in education still clouds my thinking.)
How about if we hold a prayer meeting at church
and all get together and pray about it. That would be
good, except we'd have to pick a night when we didn't have a ball game or so many of us didn't have to
go to aerobics.
I've got it; let's just all make a listofwbo we can
blame for all this creeping decay of morality, the
seemingly empathetic attitudes of young people
regarding human life, and the fall and decline of
practically everything we've held dear for so long.
No doubt, when we compare notes we'll discover we've all written many of the same things. Like,
for instance, cable TV and unethical governments.
Undeniably, both are major perpetrators, but let's not
forget one more very important culprit. All lists
should be declared invalid and nothing more than
just another sham if our own names aren't somewhere near the top.
Perhaps Rowan omitted the most tragic sentence
of all:

Floyd County native
balances academics, family
•
•
Finding a balance between studying and
other activities is something that every college student experiences during college. But
for Robin Trimble Justice, a senior majoring
in civil engineering, finding a balance bas
meant taking on more of life than most students do while in college.
Robin, the daughter of Don Trimble of
Ivel, is a 1989 graduate of Betsy Layne
High School.
What makes Robin different from most
of her classmates?
Robin started her college career a year
after high school graduation so she could
serve in the U.S. Army Reserves. And that
experience has paid off.
"It bas helped me be more disciplined
and more patient," Robin said.
Robin began her college career at
Prestonsburg Community College as an
accounting major. It was algebra teacher
John Samons, an engineer, who convinced
her to give engineering a try.
"Engineering seemed more interesting
than accounting, so I changed majors,"
Robin said.
After completing two years at
Prestonsburg, Robin transferred to UK to
complete her degree in civil engineering.
"It seemed like a natural next step,"
Robin said. "I was already in the community college system, so staying within the
state university system seemed like a good
transition."
Robin, who plans to specialize in either
geotechnical or structural engineering, has
taken on a number of other projects and
activities since she arrived in Lexington.
But the most challenging ones have been
concentrated in her senior year.
Robin has carried 19 credit hours in both
semesters this year, while maintaining better
than a 3.7 grade point average in her major.
Carrying that many credit hours in a
challenging program like civil engineering
and maintaining such a high average may
seem like quite a balancing act for a student
But Robin added one more challenge. In
December, she and her husband Joe Justice,
became the proud parents of a daughter,
Ashley.
How does she do it all? "It does get kind
of interesting trying to juggle everything
sometimes," Robin said.
Robin said she has enjoyed her time at
UK.
"I've really been impressed with the professors; they've all been great," she said. "I
had a good foundation coming out of the
community college."
In addition to her studies and her duties
as a new parent, Robin is a member of the
Kentucky Society of Professional Engineers
and the Society of Women Engineers.
She also is the recipient of several scholarships including the William and 0. C.
Downey Scholarship, the T. T. Jones scholarship and the Raymond Scholarship.

MCA students assist world scientists
in collecting environmental data
In recognition of the 25th annual Earth
Day, students at Mountain Christian
Academy are taking scientific measurements of earth systems and sharing their
observations with other students and scientists around the world, using state of the art
technology systems.
MCA was chosen as one of 15 Kentucky
schools from over 3,000 national applicants
in February to be a charter participant in the
Global Learning and Observations to
Beneftt the Environment Program
(GLOBE), an international science and
environmental education parmership initiated by U.S. Vice President AI Gore. GLOBE
students are contributing to a better understanding of the planet by making regular
environmental observations at thousands of
locations around the world and sharing their
information via the Internet.
Judy Yunker, a science instructor at
MCA and one of only 400 selected for this
specialized training, attended a three-day
workshop in March with GLOBE scientists
and educators for instruction on the measurement procedures and the GLOBE computer technology system. Says Yunker,
"This program will begin with the training
of our 6th-8th grade students and move to
train younger students in time. The learning
potential is unlimited as we begin our
involvement with feeding information to
satellites in a 'ground-truthing' process
which will assist scientists and researchers
worldwide. It's a privilege for Eastern
Kentucky and certainly for MCA."
Students have selected a study site near
the school where they will take regular measurements of various atmospheric, hydrological, biological and geological features.
The students will then send their findings
via the Internet to a GLOBE data processing
Balancing act
Robin Trimble Justice is a senior majoring in civil engineering. She
maintains a better than 3.7 g.p.a. at UK in addition to her duties and a
facility. Their data will be combined with
input from other GLOBE schools around
the world and with other science sources,
such as satellite imagery, to create dynamic,
on-line images of the Earth. The GLOBE
students' data will be available to the general public on the World Wide Web at www,
globe.gov.
1be GLOBE Program is jointly funded
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

GRANDSON'S RECOLLECTIONS OF GRANDFATHER
STILL WEIGH HEAVILY
My grandfather and I sat on his wide front porch
just a watching and a rocking.
We knew this ritual well.
We bad been doing it for years. Our watching that
warm sunny day involved the people pulling in and
out of the governmental office building my uncle
owned in the bottom below us.
A heavy-set woman who eased out of her car
caught my grandfather's attention as we glanced
down the bill.
"Boy," he said to me, "look at that big woman."
"You know granddad, they say people that heavy
don' t live very long," I responded without breaking
stride in my rocking chair.
My grandfather turned his head toward me, fastened his eyes on mine and, with a most serious face,
said, "You bad better be losing some weight, then."
It's hard to think of my grandfather without thinking about something fun we did together.
It's even harder to believe that be's been gone five
years ago this month. It's not so hard to believe that
I'm heavier now than I was then and that be's still on
the money about my weight.
But that's another story.
This story's about the man who cut my hair,
taught me bow to tie a ftsh hook and bow to tie a
necktie.
It's also a story about how people we love stick
with us no matter bow long they've been gone. And
I'm willing to bet you've got at least a story or two
in your life that's a lot like this one.
LASTING IMPRESSIONS
My mother's father was 61 years old when I was
born.
He told me once while we were rocking, that he
bad spent practically his whole life living and working in the area we could see from his porch on the
hill in Elliott County.
As we'd sit there, he'd tell me stories about playing baseball, fishing and his many years of farming.
"I remember a time when you couldn't plow the
ground around here without finding an arrowhead,"
be toid me one time.
I knew him better as a barber, something be did
until he was about 80 or more. In fact, if anybody
else cut my hair before I was 12, I can't remember il
But having him cut my !lair could be risky business.
"Joe, if I cut this any shorter your mommy is
going to whip us both," he used to tell me. Then
we'd both giggle and he'd snip it some more.
As I've pondered the flfth anniversary of granddad's death, it has intrigued me about the little things
we remember about people.
Granddad loved to laugh, eat watermelon, catch
big bluegill and bass and watch the Big Red Machine
play baseball on television.
He'd listen to every game on radio when it wasn't
on the tube. He'd been a baseball player himself in
younger days, and tears came to his eyes when he
saw me bit a home run once in Little League.
Tears came to his eyes again a few years later
when be found out I wasn't going to play organized
baseball anymore.
When it was too cold for us to sit on the porch,
we'd sit beside each other in recliners in the living
room. He loved a good western and watching Bob
Barker on the Price is Right. In later years when he
was a widower and had cable, he fussed for days
when they raised the rates on him by a few cents.
We all just barely talked him out of disconnecting
it. He was generous to anybody in need, but granddad wasn't exactly a free spender.
"When a man's spending more than be's taking in,
he'd better watch out," he'd say.
I spent practically every Sunday during my growing up years at granddad's house. When I got older, I
would spend hours asking him questions about times
and people past. I've still got the tapes from those
sessions, although I haven't listened to them since be
died.
Granddad and I didn't see each other as much
after my wife and I graduated college from
Morehead and lef£ home to ftnd work in 1984.
Just hours before we left then, I zipped over to
granddad's house. Sure, I wanted to see him one
more time for the road. But most of all I wanted him
to teach me how to tie a necktie.
I would need that skill for my new job. But mainly I wanted him to show me so I could pass it down
to my children some day and tell them how he had
taught me to do it.
And I look forward to sharing just that-along
with how granddad smiled when I told him of my
intentions that day.

Agriculture department providing
funds to assist livestock disease center
The Kentucky Department of
Agriculture is transferring $250,000
to the University of Kentucky' sLivestock Disease Diagnostic Center to
help the center alleviate a budget
shortfall.
The cumulative impact of previous budget cuts and a rapidly increasing caseload forced UK officials to
consider charging fees to fanners who
use the diagnostic center in Lexington. The financial assistance from the
Agriculture Department will enable
the center to operate without imposing fees.
"We have been very diligent in
managing our budget and are pleased
to be in a position to help this lab
which provides valuable service to
our livestock industry," said Agriculture Commissioner Ed Logsdon.
"No one wanted to impose fees on
our agricultural industry-that was a
last resort but otherwise would have
been necessary to assure that the UK
lab continues to provide the needed
services."
Logsdon praised the Governor's
Office for facilitating the transfer of
funds.
"They agreed with our thinking
that since those funds were earmarked
for agriculture and would not otherwise be needed for department programs, they should go toward the
betterment ofagriculture in this manner," Logsdon said.
The workload of the UK Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center bas

Clayton said food stamps can be
used for plants and seeds only where

THE KENTUCKY MINT
JULEP
The Traditional Recipe
THE JULEP is not a miser's beverage, and it reaches its height of
convivality only where friends are
gathered together to lend the nectar
of their chann to the succulent ingredients, which combine to soothe all
of the senses of man. Even as friendship is a nurtured emotion ...so is a
JULEP born.
One does not dash madly to the ice
tray; bombard commercial glasses
with characterless lumps of cold;
splash whiskey; sugar and water into
a blasphemous hodgepodge ...stirring
the whole with a hasty finger that has
only just applied some mint to the
conglobberation with the gesture one
would use to discard parsley from a
main course to his butter plate.
Ah, no! The JULEP is a triumph
of leisure! First, one should have a
prechilled silver tumbler. He then
selects a tender sprig of mint (the
sacrificial mint) which is rubbed with
f'mn, though gentle, pressure around
the interior walls of the tumbler, being careful not to crush, or mince, the
leaves...itisfragranttasteweareseeking.
Crush ice to the size of pebbles
from a clear and running brook until
each particle sparkles in the late afternoon sun like tbe eyes of fairies
caught in the morning dew.
Pack the tumbler with tbese joyous creatures, then feed them sweet
nectar brewed of equal parts of sugar
and water to the consistency of liquid
honey. A teaspoon and a half, poured
slowly over the ice, should suffice.
Then fill the tumbler with finest
Bourbon...from Kentucky, ofcourse.
Now, stir until a frost appears; add
fresh, tender, topleaf sprigs of mint
about three inches long, and serve. ·

for a Mint Julep merges his sentiments with a dash of humor for how

Senior citizens, last week as you
will recall, we discussed Medigap, a
supplemental insurance one can purchase to help with medically related
expenses not covered, or not paid for
in their entirety, by Medicare. Today
I will share with you some pointers
regarding another type ofsupplemental insurance known as Long-Term
Care Insurance.
Long-Term Care policies are especially formulated to assist with a
wide range of medical and support
services that may become necessary
when you arc no longer able to care
for yourself because of a prolonged
illness or disability. Long-term care
policies general!y coveronly the kinds
of care available from nursing homes
and home health agencies, although
some policies do cover services
through other providers. However,
assisted living facilities, boarding
homes and some adult day care centers may not be coverer! by a longterm care insurance policy so very
carefully review several policies before purchasing one. It is important to
remember too, that if you decide you
do not want the policy after you purchase it, you can cancel the policy
and get your money back if you notify the company within a certain
number of days after the policy is
delivered. This is called the "FreeLook" period. In Kentucky, companies must allow policyholders to cancel within 30 days of the time the
policy is delivered. Do not get "date
of purchase" confused with "date of
delivery."
Your decision to purchase longterm care insurance should depend
largely on these factors: Your age;
your health status; your finances-if
a person's income is under $12,000
and assets and savings are under
$30,000 (excluding a home), it may
or may not be a good option. Your
overall retirement plan; whether there
are programs in your community that
can offer you help in your home; and,
whether you have someone to help
care for you on a short term or on a
long-term basis, are factors that must
be taken into consideration.
At a younger age, long-term care
insurance is more affordable than at
older ages. I tis important to consider
long-term care insurance while you
are healthy. If you have a serious
existing health problem that is likely
to result in the need for long-tenn
care, you will probably not be able to
buy a policy. Considering all of these
factors, remember, it makes no sense
to buy a policy if you can't afford the
premiums.
In addition to the aforementioned
considerations regarding whether or
not you feel it would be wise for you
to invest in Long-term Insurance,
consider these shopping tips as suggested by the Kentucky Deparunent
of Insurance. 1. Check with several
companies and agents. 2. Take your
time and compare outlines of coverage. 3. Understand the policies. 4.
Don't be misled by advertising. 5.
Don't buy more than one policy. 6.
Should you switch policies? 7. Don't
be misled by agents who say your
medical history is not important. 8.
Never pay the agent in cash. 9. If you
don't receive your policy within 45
to 65 days, contact the company or
agent. 10. Read the policy again and
make sure it provides the coverage
you want. 11. Use your "Free Look"
period. And, I am adding tip #12
because I understand the importance
of it. 12. Consider having your attorney read it. In my opinion, the fee the
attorney might charge is well worth
it. He/she will probably better understand the jargon and the fine print.
Keep in mind that attorneys are
closely involved with formulating the
policies that companies offer for sale.
I trust that this article, along with
the others I have provided in this
series on insurance, has been beneficial. At the Kentucky Benefits Counseling Program for Senior Citizens
we cannot suggest to you one insurance company over another but we

MSHA commemorates
25th anniversary of coal act
The Department of Labor's Mine
Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) recently marked the 25th
anniversary of the Coal Mine Health
and Safety Act of 1969 in a ceremony
at the department's headquarters in
Washington, D.C. This pivotal piece
of legislation gave American miners
the most comprehensive and effective workplace protection in U.S. history.
The law, which went into effect
March 30, 1970, strengthened safety
standards for all coal mines and established unprecedented health standards. It required a minimwn of two
annual inspections of surface coal
mines and four annual inspections of
underground mines. Federal mine inspectors were granted authority to
shut down mines with life-threatening hazards and to order prompt correction of cited safety and health hazards.
Passage of the act was fueled in
large part by the death in November
1968 of 78 coal miners in a
Fannington, W. Va.,mineexplosion.
Miners angered by the dangerous
conditions perpetuated by the indus'
try marched on the West Virginia
state capitol and on Washington, demanding action of the U.S. Congress
and federal agencies.
Statistics illustrate the dramatic
impact that the 1969 law bas bad on
the mining industry. More than 250
workers on average died annually in
coal mining accidents during the
three-year period prior to passage of
the legislation. Between 1992-94, the
average number of annual coal mining deaths has totalled fewer than 50.
Exposure to respirable dustin coal
mines, the cause of black lung disease, has also been reduced during
the last 25 years by an average of75
percent, and the prevalence of black
lung disease among miners has declined by more than two-thirds.
Despite warnings that this law
would adversely affect coal production and drive operators out of business, the opposite has been true. Coal
production has risen from 610 million tons in 1969 to around one billion tons in 1994. That translates into
a $54 billion industry that generates
57 percent of the nation's electrical
power.

By Linda Wasmer Smith
Virginia Carter has a successful second career.
After retiring from nursing 13 years ago, she became one of the
first community health educators to specialize in preventive dental
care.
And today, at day-care centers in and around the Tampa area,
she has no trouble getting down to a 3-year-old's level to talk ··
toothbrushing. But getting up again is another matter because ,:t·d·if):O::N:~t=~t'
of the osteoarthritis that affects her back. Yet thanks to a regular exercise regimen and warm showers, Carter, 68, not
only is able to work part-time, but also to travel extensively-most recently on a cruise through the Panama Canal.
"Of course, I pace myself when I need to," she says, "but
taking care of my back lets me stay active most of the
time."
No doubt about it: The stresses and strains of daily life ..
sometimes can be a real pain in the back. "But, you don't .. · ·
have to just take it," according to Harris Mcllwain, M.D.,··
Carter's rheumatologist and co-author of "Winning With
Back Pain" (John Wiley and Sons, $12.95). "There are
simple techniques you can use to control the discomfort ·
in the majority of cases."
Even better, you can find easy ways to reduce your
risk of developing a backache in the first place, thanks to
experts who share their advice on how to get back to the
basics of maintaining a healthy back.
•
•
GOOD MORNING
Good back care starts first thing in the morning, says
Neva Greenwald, PT., C.H.E.S., president of the section on
geriatrics of the American Physical Therapy Association.
"Sitting straight up from a lying position is quite stressful to
your spine," she says. "It's a better idea to roll onto your side,
put your elbow on the bed, then let your legs slide off the side
of the bed at the same time as you push with your hands and
elbow."
Such caution is wise, says Peter Slabaugh, M.D., orthopedic
surgeon from Oakland, Calif., and media representative for the
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, because it's estimated that more than 6 million people will see a doctor this year for .
relief of back pain.
Unfortunately, everyone overdoes it now and then, and an aching back
often is the price. In such cases, simply taking an over-the-counter
pain-killer and briefly cutting back on activity can be surprisingly effective,
says Ralph Rashbaum, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and co-founder of the
Texas Back Institute.
In addition, Rashbaum has these suggestions for handling a sore back:
-If an activity causes pain-stop. "Pain is a message, so listen to it,"
Rashbaum says. Don't be like the golfers who hurt their back on the second
hole, but keep playing until the 18th green.
-To reduce swelling and pain, ice the area for short periods of
time during the first 48 hours after the injury. Then apply heat to
increase circulation and promote healing. "Moist heat is more penetrating than dry," he says, "so I recommend putting a damp towel
· . between your skin and a specially approved (for moisture) heating
pad that's set on low or medium."
-Massage tight muscles to relax them. Just having someone
rub your back may not be enough. "For therapeutic purposes, you
may need a licensed massage therapist," says Rashbaum. Or a
. licensed physical therapist, adds Greenwald.

HOW ABOUT A LIFT?
Slabaugh says folks at high risk for back problems include those:
-Whose jobs or hobbies involve frequent lifting .and ben~ing.
-Who lean over a bedridden person for long penods of time.
-Who must pull, lift or move patients often.
.
But, whether you're helping a sick spouse out of bed or carrymg a bag
of groceries, hoisting any weight puts a strain on your back. Slabaugh recommends these tips for safer lifting:
-Position the object or person you're lifting close to your body.
-Place your feet shoulder-width apart.
-Tighten your stomach muscles.
-Bend at the knees, not at the waist.
-Avoid twisting your body when you lift.
-Don't lift anything too heavy or awkward.
-Ask for help.

A physician or physical therapist also may prescribe specific strengthening and lim bering exercises tailored to your needs. Two of the basic
moves Mcilwain recommends are:
-Cheek-to-cheek. Simply contract the muscles of your buttocks and
hold for a six-second count Relax and repeat. Gradually work up to 20
repetitions twice daily.
-Wall push. Stand spread-eagled facing a wall. Then slowly arch
your back inward. Repeat. Gradually increase the repetitions to five or
more twice daily.
"People sometimes have trouble sticking with an exercise program long enough to show improvement," says Mcilwain. "But
when they do, they really can feel the difference."
One of his satisfied patients is quick to agree. ''Whether I'm
. at home or on vacation, I always exercise twice a day," says
Carter, adding, "It lets me do so many things I wouldn't be
. able to otherwise."

"For a mild backache that can be traced to some carelessnessfor example, going skiing without conditioning beforehand-you
can try self-help," says Ralph Rashbaum, M.D., of the Texas Back Institute.
"But, you should consult a physician if the pain doesn't diminish after several days," he says, adding, "anytime you have a sudden onset of severe and
incapacitating back pain, you need to see a doctor."
Rashbaum lists the danger signs associated with back pain that warrant
immediate medical attention:
-Loss of bladder or bowel control
-Difficulty moving a limb

-Pain shooting down a leg

MCDOWE~:;,~~~R
BUSINESS
Bouncing back from an injury is easier if you take it
slow and modify your movements. Try these hints for
·
safely resuming some of your favorite pastimes:
GARDENING: Consider planting in pots or elevated
beds so you don't have to bend over to ground level, says
Neva Greenwald, PT., C.H.E.S. "Also, kneel on a pad
· rather than bending at the waist."
.. .
GOLFING: Ease back into your golf game, advises Harris
·. · Mcilwain, M.D. "Don't just go out and play 36 holes the first
day." And remember that walking is great exercise, so don't
always rely on a motorized golf cart.
TRAVELING: "Probably the most important consideration is packing," says Mcilwain. Learn the art of packing light, and fly at nonpeak
hours when more luggage assistants are available. "To avoid stiffness during
a plane trip," he says, "walk up and down the aisle occasionally." Take frequent breaks on long car trips, too.

SUPPORT
All of these experts agree that exercise is the key to getting back
in action and staying there. It increases the flexibility and strength of
your muscles, which in tum provide better support for your spine.
In addition, "it builds up the level of endorphins-naturally occurring opiates with healing properties-in the spinal fluid," says Feffer.
Being in shape also boosts your energy. That's important, he
explains, because "it's easier to injure yourself when you're fatigued."
Brisk walking, swimming and cycling are types of aerobic exercise
that Feffer often recommends, but other activities also are allowed.
"I'm 76 years old, and my back bothers me now and then. Yet, I still
play a lot of tennis," he says. Peffer's guideline: "If you do it regularly,
build up gradually and it doesn't bother you, then it's safe." If you have
any doubts about a particular activity, be sure to consult your doctor.
STAY STRONG
Fortunately, most back injuries tum out to involve the muscles and
ligaments, rather than the disks, says Henry Feffer, M.D., professor
emeritus of orthopedic surgery, George Washington University. "Under
normal conditions, these kinds of soft-tissue injuries usually recover
nicely."
You can reduce your chances of any injury, however, if you:
-Maximize your muscle power. Exercise is vital to building strong
muscles and bones, explains Slabaugh. "Find an activity you enjoy and
':· . ·:
do it regularly."
-Keep it light. Excess weight places a heavy load on your back.
course, consistent, sustained exercise not only strengthens your back, 1t
also helps control your weight, he points out.
-Nix nicotine. Doctors don't know why, but "smokers are particularly prone to back injury," says Slabaugh. "This may be related
to the fact that they tend to be sedentary." Also, a smoker's cough is
rough on the spine, he adds.
-Keep moving. "Sitting is the worst position for the lower
back when it comes to pressure on the disks," he warns. "Prolonged
sitting just aggravates any back problems you have."

Cut taxes with a CRT
by Mary Harding
Are you afraid of selling one of your highly appreciated assets because your profits will be gobbled up by
taxes and your income diminished? A vehicle called a
charitable remainder trust (CRT) can be a fmancial
triple play that saves you taxes, increases your income
and simultaneously benefits the charity of your choice.
"When you look at the capital gains tax and the
estate tax, you're looking at a combined tax of about 70
percent But with a charitable remainder trust, you can
make it zero," says Bob Birgen, certified public
accountant and specialist in charitable remainder trusts
with First Financial Resources, Seal Beach, Calif.
CRTs make sense if you're selling a high-value,
highly appreciated asset such as real estate, a business
or a stock portfolio, says Birgen. He explains how they
work:
First, you place the asset into an irrevocable trust
and name one or more qualified charities as beneficiaries. For this you will receive a charitable income tax
deduction.
The trustee then sells the asset at full market value,
paying no taxes on the capital gain realized. The pro-
fuerapy!
ceeds are reinvested in income-producing assets, which
continue to grow tax-free.
For the rest of your life, the trust will pay you an
income. When you die, the remainder of the trust assets
(the principal) will go to the designated charity.
If you want, you can be your oWii trustee, and you
need not even tell the charity about the existence of the
charitable remainder trust.
The tax deduction you receive will depend on factors such as your age, the value of the property and the
payout terms of the CRT. Any income the trust earns
over what it pays to you is added to the trust assets and
is then reinvested tax-free, says Birgen.
The trust can pay income to you and your spouse. It
also can be set up to pay income to your children or to
some other entity.
If you want the charity to benefit but don't want
your heirs to lose out on their inheritance, Birgen points
out you have another option: creating a life insurance
trust.
Each year part of the tax savings and income you
receive from the CRT is paid into a life insurance trust.
The trustee then purchases enough life insurance to
replace the value of the asset.

One thing each of us, young and old, can do to plan
for the future is to get our fmancial and personal
records in order. These records can be useful for budgeting income, for making investments, or for retirement and estate planning.
Older people sometimes need help from relatives
and friends with managing their legal or fmancial
affairs-either temporarily or by having these responsibilities gradually assumed. Because the person who
provides care often bas little knowledge of vital information and records, the task is much simpler if papers
are already in order.
Each situation is different, but the following suggestions may help you to begin organizing your financial and personal records.
Personal Records
A personal records file should include the following
information: full legal name, social security number,
legal residence, date and place of birth, names and
addresses of spouse and children (or location of death
certificate if any are deceased), location of will or trust,
location of birth certificates and certificates of marriage, divorce, and citizenship, list of employers and
dates of employment, education and military records,
religious affiliation, name of church or synagogue, and
names of clergy, memberships in organizations and
awards received, names and addresses of close friends,
relatives, doctors, and lawyers or fmancial advisors,
and requests, preferences, or prearrangements for burial.
A family member of friend should know the location of this personal records file and of all important
papers and documents. It is not necessary to reveal the
contents of wills or trusts.
Financial Records
A financial record me is a place to list information
about insurance policies, bank accounts, deeds, investments, and other valuables. Here is a suggested outline:
Sources of income and assets (pension funds, interest income, social Security and Medicare information,
investment income (stocks, bonds, property), insurance
information (life, health, and property) with policy
numbers, bank accounts (checking, savings, and credit
union), location of safe deposit boxes, copy of most
recent income tax return, liabilities-what is owed to
whom and when payments are due, mortgages and
debts-how and when paid, credit card and charge
account names and numbers, property taxes, and location of all personal items such as jewelry or family
treasures.
Having this information available can help you plan
for any changes that might come up in the years
ahead-such as retirement, a move, or a death in the
family-by providing the needed details to make the best
decisions.

HHA Day Care offers
assistance to the elderly
About 22 percent of the workforce expects to
assume eldercare responsibilities over the next three to
four years. Fifteen percent have that responsibility
now. Experts predict that in the coming years, eldercare
will have a greater impact on the workplace than Child
Care.
Aging parents or other loved ones have special
physical and emotional needs. Likewise people who
choose to take on the caretaker role need assistance
themselves. The staff at Happy House Adult Day
Center can help address these various needs.
Happy House Adult Day Center is located in Archer
Parle, Prestonsburg. The program offers a variety of
services for the frail elderly, including supervision,
meals, recreational and social activities, and family
support. The cost of Adult Day Care Center respite service is determined by a sliding fee scale, based on the
elderly person's income.
Who is eligible for Adult Day Services?
Anyone age 60 + who is: physically disabled;
unable to be left alone without supervision during the
day; or mentally confused.
Happy House Adult Day Center is certified by the
Kentucky Cabinet of Human Resources and is a member of the Kentucky Association of Adult Day Centers.
For more information about the program, call 886-
0265.

Though they may resemble something from the
tr..sb heap, knobby bare-root roses will metamorphose
into beautiful blooms this summer if they're planted
soon. Available as early as January in southern climes,
they start appearing in colder climes as spring weather
moves north.
To achieve the best results, experts advise:
-Select healthy-looking plants with green canes
that each have several swellings, which is where the
new growth will start to emerge.
-Before planting, soak them for 24 hours.
-Dig a hole 15-18 inches deep and at least the same
in diameter. Mix peat moss or compost with soil and
form the mixture into a cone.
-After trimming broken roots, spread intact roots
over the cone with the bud union at ground level.

may be placed in the bottom of the planting hole.

It's spring-cleaning time, but don't let flying dust
obscure the home maintenance jobs that need attention,
too. Todd Treese, an Iowa True Value hardware store
manager, offers around-the-house reminders:
-Get ready to cool it Have a contractor check out
the air-conditioning. Bring fans out of storage.
-Sit it out. Paint or waterproof lawn furniture and
replace any worn-out cushions.
-Switch over. Run the gas out of your snowblower
and add a non-gumming agent to the tank. Ready the
lawn mower, garden tiller and grass edger for summer.
-Show it off. Make sure your house number is
highly visible to visitors and emergency personnel.
Perhaps paint it in contrast to the house.
-Power up. Put new batteries in your smoke detectors. Change or clean the furnace fllter. (Remember, the
blower distributes your central air-conditioning, as
well.)
Holly Kuhse, Earl May Garden Store manager in
Des Moines, suggests these yard and garden chores:
-Tool up. Drag out the boses and check them for
leaks. Sharpen shovels, trowels and pruners.
-Make the bed. Take a soil sample to your garden
center for analysis, then mix in the recommended combination of fertilizer, compost and peat moss to grow
"power flowers."
-Organize. Clean out the garage. Take newspapers,
glass and plastics to the local recycling center.

Fouts setting the pace in
Governor's Pacesetters
by Polly Ward
Tunes Feature Writer
Fitness walking just comes naturally to Ellen Fouts. The 66-yearold Melvin resident averages walking two or more miles a day on a
blacktopped road that circles her
neighborhood.
Ellen not only sets the pace in
her neighborhood. but she is also
setting the pace for Floyd Cowtty
senior citizens involved in the
Governor's Pacesetters program.
Since June 1, 1994, Ellen has
logged 528 miles around her track,
which is the most miles tallied by
any Pacesetter in the county,
according to Big Sandy ADD statistics. That's like walking the length
of the state with 143 miles left over.
Governor's Pacesetters is a yearround non-competitive walking
program for adults age 55 or older
and it is an official event of the
Bluegrass State Games. Participants
document their walking in either
miles or minutes in a Pacesetter log
book. Persons who have documented walking the greatest number of
miles or minutes will be eligible to
attend the Annual Governor's
Pacesetters' Health Festival at the
state capital in July.
Ellen said she began walking
when she and her husband, Hershel,
started going to the Wheelwright
Senior Citizens Center when it flrst
opened about twenty years ago. "I
just went to the center and got to
walking," she said. "I love to walk."
"We've been involved in the center
ever since it started, I guess,"
Hershel said. Hershel has been
active in sporting events the center
has held. For several years, both
Hershel and Ellen have taken part in
the Bluegrass State Games held in
Frankfon each summer. Ellen walks
and Hershel competes in various
events. But as far as walking goes,
Ellen out paces Hershel, who often
relies on a cane. "I walk but I don't
walk with her. She out walks me,"
he said with a grin. "But I always
get my mile in."
Hershel's role is documenting
his wife's miles in the Pacesetter
log book. "I keep track of it," he
said. "I keep it down on the calendar. Then at the end of the month, I
flll in the book."
The walking program has been
an incentive for Ellen to put in the
miles. It takes the walker 20 minutes to walk four times around the
neighborhood, a distance that
equals a mile. "She walks eight to
ten, sometimes 12, laps a day,
according to the weather," he said.
"'ne night, she walked 15 times
around the bottom."
Was she worn out? "Yeah," Ellen
said. "But I got up the next day and
I started again."
The weather doesn't usually stop
her. "If it's too cold, I bundle up to
walk," she said. This year's winter
snow storm, which kept her indoors
for a few days, was the exception.
Sometimes asthma strikes, especially when the pollen cowtt is high,
and she has had to sit out. "But she
always walked to make up lost
time," her husband said.
Ellen said that her walking routine "helps me relax and I sleep better at night. It sure is good for you."
And Ellen isn't fmished yet The
Governor's Pacesetters program
ends on May 31, so she has more
than a month left to walk. And when
summer comes, she may just be
walking ahead of the pack at the
Bluegrass State Games.
Fifteen Kentuckians will attend the
conference including flve members
of the Senior Citizens Advisory
Commission. Members attending
the conference are: Bernard H.
Bockweg of Elkton, Randall

Doctor's rounds

Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain)
•
Angina pectoris, or chest pain
from the heart, is a syndrome recognized for hundreds of years. It is
due to an imbalance between the
demands of the heart and the supply
of blood available. There are many
causes of chest pain in general.
Most episodes of chest pain are not
related to the heart. Often times,
disorders of the esophagus, stomach
or other parts of the GI tract are
responsible for chest pain. As well,
rib pain (i.e. chostochondritis) or
musculoskeletal pain mimic angina
to a degree.
True cardiac pain is a potentially
life threatening issue. Pain from the
. heart can come from a weakened
heart (cardiomyopathy), a thickened heart (hypertensive heart disease), or from diseased heart valves
(valvular heart disease). The most
common type of heart pain, though,
comes from coronary artery disease. Usually there are three important arteries feeding the heart itself).
These arteries encircle the heart like
a coronet At times, these arteries
cannot supply enough blood to the
heart
due
to
blockages.
Atherosclerosis is the term applied
to the cholesterol and fat rich blockages that affect all of us as we age.
These blockages or lesions are
found in all arteries of our bodies to
a degree. These lesions can impair
blood flow to the legs (peripheral
vascular disease), to the brain (cerebral vascular accidents or strokes)
or to the heart (heart attacks).
Factors that contribute to the
development of arterial lesions are
many and some as yet are
unproven. Confumed contributors
that increase the risk of coronary
artery disease include advanced
age, male sex, diabetes, smoking,
family history of heart disease, high
blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, past heart attacks and obesity.
Other suspected factors include
sedentary life style and Type A personality (aggressive, stressful, etc.).
Of course, the more risk factors a
person has, the greater the chance
of having a heart attack. It is important to note that even a person with
few or no risk factors can have a
heart attack. There are very young,
active, thin, nondiabetic, nonhypertensive patients that have heart
attacks across the country.
When coronary arterial blockages become critical, most patients
develop chest pain from the poor
blood flow. (Some patients, especially diabetics, don't sense the
classic sensation of severe chest
pressure.) Angina is most often
induced by exertion as the heart's
demands outstrip its supply; simply
put, the heart cells are starved for
oxygen and nutrients. Patients often
complain of a severe pressure or
weight on their chest. Shortness of
breath or "smothering" is often
associated with angina. Angina can
be a warning sign of an impending
heart attack and new chest pain
should be investigated thoroughly.
Unstable angina is a medical emergency and patients are often placed
in an Intensive Care Unit for stabilization and to forestall a heart
attack if possible.

Vital Signs
Grief
•
•
Grief is a natmal healing process
that enables a person to adjust to
significant change or loss. Although
painful, grief is also of great beneftt. It provides a period of adjustment and an opportunity to build a
foundation for a meaningful future.
Grief can be expressed physically as well as emotionally.
Physically grief may manifest itself
in various conditions, such as
exhaustion, insomnia, restlessness,
constipation, diarrhea, nausea, sighing. Emotionally it may appear as
denial, anger, guilt, depression, and
other strong feelings.
It is not uncommon to be preoccupied with the image of a loved
one who bas died. Survivors often
report seeing, having conversations
with, or even being touched by the
deceased person. This is normal. No
person or book can tell you what
your grief should be like. How long
and in what ways you grieve will be
unique to you. There are stages of
grief that are more or less common
to many who suffer a loss.
Grief is different for every one.
You may not progress directly from
one stage to the next. However,
understanding what others have
experienced can help you deal with
your own emotion.
SHOCK AND DENIAL
If you lose someone suddenly
your ftrst reaction may be shock.
This is natural and it protects you
from overwhelming pain. You may
even act like nothing bas happened.
You may not remember how you
felt or acted during this period.
Denial is normal. You know
what has happened but you don't
really believe it. Denial may pass
quickly, or last for months or years.
Denial is all right for a while. It provides a brief respite before you have
to deal with loss, but if denial lasts
too long, it could separate the grieving person from reality.
ADJUSTMENT
AND ACCEPTANCE
Life goes on. At some point in
the grieving process, you will be
better able to come to terms with
your loss. Grief will loosen its hold
on you, and, in struggling to get on
with life, you may discover new
opportunities.
Loss teaches us new lessons you
may learn wisdom from your experience and be better able to help
others.
TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS
At every stage of the grieving
process, care givers and friends can
provide valuable support
SHOCK/DENIAL STAGE
Give hugs, hold hands, send
cards, notes, flowers. Provide food,
transportation, do chores but expect
the person to help.
Help the person to see the evidence of the loss and give the person time to be alone.
GUILT AND ANGER STAGE
Listen, show no judgment unless
asked. Call or visit often, silence is
okay. Accept abrupt mood shifts.
Provide assurance that the person
was not to blame. Recommend and
help arrange for support groups.
ADJUSTMENT AND
ACCEPTANCE STAGE
Invite the person to go places
and encourage exercise. Offer to
listen and reinforce your friendship.
Encourage rebuilding friendships .
Offer opportunities for recreation.
There are several things the
grieving person should do for
example; allow yourself to cry, take
time to grieve, talk about your grief.
Friends may not know what to say
so let them know it's all right to talk
about the loss. Get regular exercise,
eat well, postpone major decisions
write your thoughts down, paint or
draw your grief, join a support
group and talk to your pastor.
The signal to call a Health
Professional may appear when you
are unable to grieve soon after the
loss. When you feel anger at specific people whom you blame for the
loss. If social isolation increases
after a normal period or mourning.
If there is evidence of self destructive behaviors. If there are undiminished and overwhelming feelings of
guilt.

Information shortens hospitalizations
With escalating health care costs, hospitals have placed greater
emphasis on shortening hospitalization and reducing hospital
expenses. Most studies have focused on pre-operative preparation,

GUILT AND ANGER
Few people experience the loss
of someone or something important
to them without some feelings of
guilt. You tell yourself that you
should have done things differently;
"if only" is a common thought. You
may feel there was more you could
have done, but eventtWly feelings
of guilt will be put in proper

Anger is also a normal response.

mild anger. This anger needs to be
expressed. Some therapists recommend screaming or yelling in a priKEVIN BOYD MEDICAL INFORMATION SERVICE • DISTRIBUTED BY UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

by Mike Capuzzo
DEAR WILD THJNGS: I am a
widow interested in adopting a dog
or cat. but as I am in my 60s I am
afraid to take on a responsibility too
heavy for my (rather slow-paced)
lifestyle. Can you help?-Eager to
Love in Milwaukee
DEAR EAGER TO LOVE:
Congratulations! More and more
older folks are opening their homes
and hearts to animals. And research
shows that they're lowering their
blood pressure, recovering more
quickly from illness and extending
their lives because of it You've
come to the right place. The right
place to visit. however, is your local
animal shelter. Skip the breeders,
pet shops and puppy mills. If you
want a companion on your morning
and evening constirutional, I'd recommend adopting a smaller (30
pounds or less), older (five years or
more) dog. If your lifestyle is more
sedentary, an older (six or seven
years), gentle cat would make an
easier companion. Older animals
have a slower pace ideal for senior
folks, and your pet will probably
come already trained, house-br<r
ken,
grandchild-tolerant
and
people-friendly.
If you lose your nerve, don't listen to me. Listen to Mrs. Eleanor
Frederick of Clewiston, Fla., the
sugar-producing capital that is
"America's Sweetest City." Mrs.
Frederick is 64 and suffers from
arthritis of the neck and spine and
bas found that real sweetness in
Missy, her new cat. (Out of
Eleanor's
letter tumbled
a
Valentine-TO: Mike FROM:
Missy. "Love you, love you,
Meow!" Missy wrote.)
"It's partly due to you that I just
recently decided to adopt another
kitten," Eleanor wrote to me. "I
haven't bad a cat for almost six
years now. I went through a real
grieving process..."
Two of her cats were taken from
Eleanor by feline leukemia A third,
Sam, died at 4-112 of a kidney disease. "I just couldn't bear to get
attached to another cat." Eleanor
wrote. But recently, Eleanor and her
husband visited the Animal Rescue
Shelter just outside Clewiston.
"My husband said over here is a
real cute one," Eleanor wrote. "I
went over to look at her and she put
her little face up against the square
hole in the cage and said
meow-meow, just as if you say,
'Please take me home.' So I told the
lady this one is it. I signed the adoption papers and I want to tell you I
have had more fun and just feel 10
years younger. She was already litter trained, and she is so lovable. I
have no idea what breed she is,
maybe Heinz 57, but I just wanted
to tell you how happy she has made
me. She makes me forget all about
my aches and pains early in the
morning. Thank you for caring,
Eleanor."
Thanks, Eleanor, for joining the
Wild Things pet brigade.

TIME LIMIT FOR CUPID?
Last fall, I ran a column about a
woman in her 60s who feels men
don't want her either as a friend or
lover because they consider her too
old. And, as this woman noted,
most of the men are, themselves,
several years older than she is.
One of the items in the column
that seemed to hit a sensitive button
concerned a poll in which men said
they were attracted to women in
their 60s, such as the late Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis, Sophia Loren,
Elizabeth Taylor, Brigitte Bardot,
Shirley MacLaine, etc. Scores of
letters came in from readers who
told me to get real and see that these
women were idealized images and
that "real" women don't look like
that. Real women in this age group,
you told me, were usually overweight. cared little for their appearance, and had very little experience
in developing the social skills needed for making friends with men.
They had, as you pointed out, spent
most of their lives married to one
man and when they were widowed
or divorced, were like the proverbial ducks out of water.

Last week I went to a seminar
concerning the re-entry of older
women into the workplace. I mentioned the column and the response
it elicited. One of the panel members, a woman in her early 70s by
the way, made an interesting observation that I'd like to pass on to
you, and, again, ask for your comments. She said, and I paraphrase,
"While it's true many women of
that age are, as the readers say,
overweight, it's also true that men
of that age are overweight as well.
As a matter of fact, more men than
women are obese and less likely to
be as concerned about grooming.
The problem is in the image we
have of ourselves. Men do not
allow their so-called physical
imperfections to keep them from
going after what they want. Women
do, especially older women who
were raised to believe that attractiveness is everything and once
you've lost it, you've lost your
place in society. They believe
nature puts a time limit on women
but not on men ..."

Days of tears, days of triumph
by Janet Groene
LOUISVILLE
When the Civil War began,
Louisville was a slave-holding
border city, while just across the
river in Ohio, freedom awaited
escaped slaves. Some of the
war's most daring dramas
played out here as fleeing slaves
were handed from family to
family on the Underground
Railroad.
Almost every major city celebrates its African-American heritage with group tours, festivals
or self-guided walking or driving tours. Try this sampling of
four.
BOSTON'S BLACK
HERITAGE TRAIL
Massachusetts outlawed slavery decades
before the Emancipation
Proclamation. In one of
its oldest neighborhoods, Beacon Hill, you
can see where the seeds
of the abolitionist movement
were
sown.
Highlights of the self-guided
Black Heritage Trail tour
include the African Meeting
House where anti-slavery sermons thundered from the pulpit,
and the home of George
Middleton, who captained an
all-black company in the
Revolution. His house at 66
Phillips Street later became a
stop on the Underground
Railroad.

Have you ever contemplated
kayaking in the Everglades,
dogsledding in northern Minnesota,
sailing off the coast of Maine or
backpacking in the Rocky

no, that's not for me," you should
know that most of the people who

adventures-far

being
muscle-bound wilderness nutshave no outdoor experience and are
in average physical condition. says
Barry Rosen, Outward Bound USA
vice president for marketing.
Each course is taught from a
beginner's level using a bands-on,
learn-by-doing approach. What's
more, Outward Bound offers more
than 600 courses in the United
States each year, and many of them
include a good percentage of participants 50 plus.
People often have the misconception that Outward Bound is a
survival school-which it is not,
explains Rosen. "It simply uses the
challenge of the outdoors to teach
participants more about themselves," he stresses.
Outward Bound began in 1941
in Great Britain and was established
in the United States in 1961. It now
has about 50 schools in 20 countries
and is the oldest and largest adventure-based educational program in
the world. In the United States
alone, approximately 30,000 people
take part in Outward Bound programs each year.
Most courses last one to three
weeks. Costs vary, but usually run
$80-$125 per day and include
equipment, food and training. There
are no age restrictions, Rosen says.

Former countian feels Oklahoma blast
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
When Jack Dingus Jr, formerly of Floyd
County, heard a blast from his office in a suburb of Oklahoma City Wednesday, he thought
it was just another sonic boom from air force
jets taking off at a nearby air base. A few minutes later, when he beard the scream of sirens
and the commotion on his police scanner, he
knew disaster had struck close to home.
Dingus ran out the door and up the slope
of a Jcnoll just outside his office to look
toward the city. A mere three miles away,
smoke billowed skyward. On a major thoroughfare near his office, ambulances raced
back and forth to a hospital located a short
distance beyond his office building, which
also housed his apartment.
Dingus went back inside and turned on his
television to watch the news.
"It was comple<e cbaos ... so devastating ... unbelievable," he said in a telephone
interview Thursday.
At 9 a.m. Wednesday, a half-ton bomb
exploded at the Alfred Murrah federal office
building in Oklahoma City. Shards of glass
were hurled in every direction around a fiveblock area. The explosion could be felt 30
miles away.
Inside the federal building were employees beginning their work day in agencies
such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms; Social Security; Veterans Affairs;
the Drug Enforcement Administration; Secret
Service; Housing and Urban Development;
military recruiting offices; and a day care.
As Dingus watched, rescue workers carried children with blood-streaked bodies and
his heart broke.
"I cried. It's hard not to cry when you see
the children," he said as his voice slowly
faded.
Many of the faces flashing across his
screen were former customers of Dingus,
who manages a mini-storage facility in Del

surcharge from telephone customers to raise funds for the system. The court failed to follow up
that action by adopting an ordinance authorizing the levy of the
special tax.
Last month, a group of 10 Floyd
County taxpayers sued the fiscal
court asking for the return of the
monies collected, claiming those
funds bad been illegally collected
from phone customers.
The proposed ordinance to be
reviewed by the court today calls
for a seven-member board of directors, which is made up by the
county judge-executive;· one magistrate; the Floyd County Sheriff;
the Mayor of Prestonsburg; the
commander of the Kentucky State
Police at Post 9 in Pikeville; one
representative from a county 911
advisory committee; and one citizen selected by the fiscal court.
The proposed ordinance also
establishes an advisory panel that
would include representatives
from county flre and rescue departmenls.
The fee for the service is set at
89-cl!nts per phone customer.
In a related matter, hearings are
set for today, Friday, on motions
concerning a pair of lawsuits
involving the 911 project. Those
motions will be heard at 3:30 p .m.
in Judge Danny Caudill's court.
Another issue to be discussed at
today's fiscal court meeting is an
increase in the cost of building a
new courthouse facility.
The cost of a proposed Floyd
County justice center has increased
by almost $3 million, from $14
million to just over $17 million,
not including a floor for county
office suites.
Floyd Judge-Executive Bob
Meyer said Wednesday that the
additional costs represent a change
in the cost per square-foot to build
the facility.
Meyer is expected to ask the
court to put the project on hold
until it can be modified or be determined if the project would put an
unreasonable financial burden on
the county.

care. (Her granddaughters) go to the
other location of the daycare the
lady owns," be said, explaining that
the tenant's daughter knew some of
the families, one of whom had two
daughters still missing.
"Even the governor has friends
unaccounted for," Dingus said.
Reports indicate that approximately 300 people are missing and
around 36 people are dead - 17 or
18 of them children. Dingus said he
had beard rumors that 200 body
bags lay in a makeshift morgue in
the city.
Dingus' wife, Carla, had planned
to go to the courthouse, which is
located near the federal building,
that morning to file official papers
for the city. Instead, she changed
her mind and delayed her trip.
Four blocks from the blast site, in
the office of his daughter's boss, the
explosion caused a bookshelf containing law books to collapse.
Wednesday night, his wife, Carla,
received a call from a friend who had
been attending a meeting in an office
close to the federal building. Carla's
friend received cuts when the blast
caused windows to shatter in his building. The man ran nex~ door to the
devastated federal complex and tried
to help.
He described the scene to the
Dingus family, but the detailed
description of mangled bodies was
too graphic and Dingus would not
reveal them for publication.
News reports of the bombing
depicted hardened rescue workers
weeping as they worked to remove
victims from the rubble.
For the past two days, Dingus
and his family have stayed glued to
the television, watching as a city

rescue workers and families of vic-

tims.
"It's like a flood in Eastern Kentucky. I remember the one there in
1977. Everybody pulled together,"
he said.
People waited in lines five or six
blocks long to donate blood. Counseling services were set up in
schools to answer the questions
raised by area school children:
"Who would kill children?" and,
"Why in Oklahoma City?"
When Dingus heard that elderly
residents of a high rise that had
been seriously damaged by the
explosion had been housed in a
motel located only a half-mile away
from his storage facility, he contacted the motel manager. An elderly
lady was concerned that her personal belongings in her apartment
would be ruined by the rainfall
Wednesday night, so Dingus told
her she could use the storage facility.
"I told her money was no object.
We'd worry about that later," he
said.
Dingus received a call from his
father, Jack Dingus Sr. of Prestonsburg after Jack Sr. heard about the
accident. It's difficult, though, to
get a call through to the city
because the phone lines are kept
busy.
A lot of folks have a lot of questions about the bombing, Dingus
said, everybody is talking about it,
but no one bas any answers.
him Wednesday at lhe Floyd County Jail.
Whyte said that after reviewing
Jacobs' medical records and a brief
encounter at the jail Wednesday, he
felt that Jacobs' disease was not in
remission and that his delusions are
related to going on trial for
Howard's murder.
Whyte said that Jacobs could
function and appear competent as
long as those delusions were not
broached during a trial.
Special prosecutor Barbara
Whaley argued that Jacobs' understanding of his defense options and
that he has maintained all along that
four men in a green jeep alxlucted
Howard from him, shows that "an
average lay person would not have
that insight."
"He told Dr. Deland that if he
can convince just one juror of reasonable doubt, he cannot be convicted," Whaley said. "I feel that's
overwhelming evidence that he is
competent to stand trial. Because
the attorneys don't agree with his
choice of defense, does not mean he
is incompetent."
The defense argued that Jacobs'
refusal to assist them in his defense
and that Jacobs has previously said
that all the attorneys and physicians
who have examined him are liars,
shows that he is incapable of standing trial.

Floyd County Technical High
School (Garth) received a '95
Chevrolet truck, Z71 series from
Chevrolet Motor Division recently.
Gary Mullins, auto instructor at
the school, said this is not the first
vehicle the school has received
through Chevrolet's program. He also
said the program is a benefit for the
students because it keeps things update and more interesting.
The program was started in 1972
when Chevrolet started diverting
-damaged cars and trucks (previously
scrapped) to schools for training purposes. In addition to damaged vehicles, engineering test and pilot line
vehicles not suitable for sale are included in the program.
So far, nearly 11,000 new
Chevrolet passenger cars and trucks
damaged in transit or by flood have
been donated to schools for in-classroom instructional purposes. In the
past21 years educational institutions
in most of the 50 states have received
donated vehicles for their vocation/
education programs.
The Chevrolet program also includes donations of passenger car
and truck engines, transmissions,
tools and various mlijor automotive
components used for testing or design development. Any secondary
public and parochial school, private
nonprofit secondary and technical
school, and community and/or junior
college with an automotive service
training program may Gualify for the
donation of a vehicle or vehicle component

on any road, public or private, nor
can any component or components of
a donated vehic1e be used on or in any
vehicle that will be licensed, titled, or
driven on any road, public or private.
Donation labels are affvced to the
vehicl~. and Chevrolet advises appropriate agencies that the vehicle
has been removed from service and
can never again be licensed or titled.
The Service Staffs at Chevrolet's
14 regional offices keep a current
request list from qualified schools.
Once a vehicle is determined to· be
eligible for donation, the respective
regional office obtains the necessary
documents and approval. It is then
the school's responsibility to arrange
transportation of the vehicle to their
site.
The Sipp Theatre continues its
1995 concert series, Saturday, April
22 at 8 p.m., with the appearance of
the highly acclaimed "IIIrd Tymc
Out."
The group virtually swept the 1994
International Bluegrass Music Association (IRMA) Awards last September in Owensboro, when lead vocalist Russell Moore won the Male Vocalist of the Year Award and the
entire group took Vocal Group of the
Year honors.
Since the group's formation in
1991, their rise to the top has been
meteoric. They have received rave
reviews in the Nashville Banner,
Cleveland Plane Dealer, Atlanta Journal, Houston Post, Louisville Courier Journal, Knoxville News Central, Music Monitor, Country Music
Journal, and many more publications.
Recipients
of
Billboard
Magazine's, "Critic's Choice
Award," the group continues to dominate the charts. Their recent album,
"Grandpa's Mandolin," rose to the
top of the album charts in the fall of
1994. Among the hits pulled from
that album, "I've Waited As Long As
I Can," was a song written by ale~
endary bluegrass performer from
Eastern Kentucky, J obnson County's
Hilo Brown. Brown is expected to be
in the audience on April 22 for the
IIIrd Tyme Out performance.
Their current album, "Across the

Those facts have not gone wmoticed by residents of Eastern Kentucky, but Fitzpatrick hopes to
silence those grumblings by making
the voice of Eastern Kentucky
heard in Pittsburgh.
"This would be a constructive
way to effectively break down that
wall and try to obtain a position for
an Eastern Kentuckian on this particular board - to be a voice on the
board for different reasons: economically, socially and geograpbicaily.. .for a person to have representation on the board to give input
that no one else could," Fitzpatrick
said.
In his supporting statement to
shareholders, Fitzpatrick said be
flrmly believes the nomination of
an Eastern Kentuckian will benefit
the company.
"Considering ... that the company bas tens of millions of dollars
invested in Eastern Kentucky, it
should be apparent of the need for a
non-employee individual from this
area to sit and serve on the Board of
Directors of Equitable Resources,
Inc."
In addition to Kentucky-West
Virginia Gas Company, the corporation owns Kentucky Hydrocarbon, located at Langley. Kentucky
Hydrocarbon is one of the company's most prized possessions,
extracting copious quantities of liquids from natural gas production in
the area's natural gas wells, Fitzpatrick reminded shareholders.
Kentucky Hydrocarbon sells the
liquid to Ashland Oil and the natural gas liquid is transferred through a
pipeline directly to the Catlettsburg
company.
Through its Equitable Resources
Exploration, based in Kingsport,
Tennessee with a branch office in
Hazard, Equitable Resources presides over thousands of oil and gas
wells in this area, that are spread
over at least one million acres in
Eastern Kentucky, Fitzpatrick said
in his statement
A few years ago, Fitzpatrick
took tentative steps to make the
board of directors aware that representation for Eastern Kentucky is
essential. After he made the board
aware of its need to contribute to
the community, the company began
awarding scholarships and bas also
become a major contributor of such
local projects as the Mountain Arts
Center.
But this time, the board doesn't
agree with local representation on
its board. Board members issued a
formal statement against the proposal in an explanation to proxy
voters.
''The nominating committee of
the board is willing to consider for
nomination any qualified candidate
brought to its attention by a company shareholder," board members
said.
"However, the board believes
that it is inappropriate to specifically reserve a nomination for a native
and resident of Eastern Kentucky.
Although the assets located in Eastern Kentucky are a valuable part of
the company's operations, Equitable Resources, Inc., is a geographically diverse entity with significant
assets and operations in a number
of states, any of which could
arguably be deemed deserving of
representation on the board on the
basis of their importance to the
company.
"Having operated in Eastern
Kentucky for many decades, the
company has both resident Kentuckians and nonresidents actively
engaged in the operations in Kentucky. These employees already
bring a wealth of knowledge about
the economic, social and geological
conditions of that state to the company.
"The board prefers that the nominating committee seek the most
qualified candidates, available for
nomination to the board and not be
required to confme its search to
individuals from one particular
state. While the residence of a candidate may be of significance in
some cases, it should not overshadow other qualifications that the
committee and the board would
deem important Allowing the nominating committee and the board to
use their discretion and judgment in
determining the timing and method
of selecting board nominees best
serves the interests of the shareholders," board members said in the
proxy statement
.
Fitzpatrick said that in the company's annual report, a new director
had been nominated and the nominee was involved in off-shore
drilling.
"The conclusion I draw from
that is- the company is representing to me and other shareholders that their employees in Eastern
Kentucky are delivering sufficient
amounts of economic and social
infonnation to the board and, conversely, to have them nominate a
new director knowledgeable in offshore drilling, an endeavor the company has recently made a foray into,
I don't see any difference for a person residing in our area being a listening post to what's going on
here," Fitzpatrick said.
He said another reason to have
an Eastern Kentuckian on the bOard
is to address environmental con-
(Continued from A 1)
cerns. The company has an environmental committee, but the company
has also received two citations, both
in Eastern Kentucky, against it for
water qru~Jity.
Another important reason to
have an Eastern Kentuckian on the
board is because of a $500,000 life
insurance that goes to charitable,
civic and educational organizations
in the company's operating/service
area.
The company provides the insurance policy for each of its directors
as part of its conununity service
support. The policies restrict the
directors' bequests, although at the
discretion of the director, to charitable organizations within the company's service area.
"If all the directors are from
Pittsburgh or New York, (that's
where the money will go)- where
the director lives, dies - they're
not going to leave any bequest to
the Mountain Arts Center or whatever here," Fitzpatrick said.
State Farm Mutual, with 6.15
percent of the common stock outstanding, is one of the company's
largest shareholders,
Babbage explains
party chang~ laws
Floyd Countians who change their
political party affiliation this spring
won't be able to vote in the May 23
partisan primary election, according
to Secretary of State Bob Babbage.
Babbage said that state law permits only the voters who were members of a political party at the time of
the preceding general election to vote
in that party's primary election.
"Newly registered voters are exempt from this provision," Babbage
said.
Babbage explained that state law
(KRS 116.055) requires that a person
who is qualified to vote in the primary election "shall be a registered
member of the party in whose primary election he (she) seeks to vote,
and shall have been registered as a
member of that party at the time of
the preceding regular election."
"Often popular candidates will encourage registered voters to switch
their party registration or citizens will
change their political affiliation to
support their favorite candidate, unaware that the change, when made
between the general election and the
primary election, will prevent them
from voting," Babbage explained.
Citizens can only vote in the primary for candidates or slates of candidates of the party of which they are
a registered member.

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
We are what
we eat • • •
by Scott Perry
We are among a growing number of voters who are growing
more and more weary of political campaigns that rely on mudslinging and backbiting to get
our attention.
More and more frequently,
those tactics are employed in
elections that range from presidential races to county courthouse campaigns.
It's our fault, too.
A country that survives on fast
food won't make much time for
anything more than sound bites
and TV glitz, and we often find
out too late that our elected officials offer about as much substance as a doughnut offers nutrition.
We relish in mudslinging, gossip and rumor, though, and we
have forced our candidates for
public office to satisfy our appetites for them.
We think it's high time for a
new diet.
Instead of candidates telling
us why we shouldn't vote for the
other guy, we'd prefer they tell
us why we should vote for them.
We want to see what they are
going to do to improve our standards of living, not hear about
their opponent's lifestyle.
Look, nobody is perfect.
We all have our warts and
blemishes.
"Let he who is without sin cast
the first stone."
Better yet, let's just put down
those rocks and pick up some
real issues.
Give us plans, not promises.
Give us statesmanship, not
showmanship.
Offer solutions, not snake oil.
Quit beating up on one another while beating your own
chests.
In the meantime, we voters
need to quit demanding those
doughnuts and start requiring
our candidates to feed us some
low fat realism.
We are what we eat, and we've
been swallowing too many lines
to do a body any good.
If we start now, though, we
can work our way back into
shape before the May primary.
Wouldn't it be nice to look at
ourselves in the mirror and like
what we see?
Demand better, and that's what
you'll get.

CARE member:
thanks board
Editor:
As a member of C.A.R.E (Citizens Against Renovation), I would
like to take this opportunity to thank
the floyd County School Board for
voting to send the proposed renovation of Prestonsburg High School
back to the L.P.C. (Local Planning
Committee). As stated in last Friday's
floyd County Times the school board
members bowed to public pressure to
do so. I would like to inform those of
you who do not know the whole truth
'
the rest of the story.
According to the Floyd County
School Board Chairman, Ray Brackett, the Board members were follow-
ing the L.P.C. plan to the letter, however the L.P.C. plan called for a $7.1
million renovation as follows: First;
acquire properties adjacent to the
school campus, second; renovate the
existing building, third; build and
furnish a new wing to house 4 science
labs and administration offices, a new
music and band room, new and up-·
dated library, larger lunch room and
renovations to the gymnasium.
However, the Floyd County
School Board while apparently not
informing all the members decided to
deviate from the L.P.C. plan and
spend $3.1 million on the following:
1. Build the new wing in front of the
existing High School to house 4 new
classrooms with no furnishings, 2. A
new band room with no furnishings,
3. A new music room, which bad
already been cut out, 4. Administrative suite, 5. Replace window on the
second floor in the front only, 6. A
new cooling tower to replace existing
boiler system, OOPS they forgot to
heat and cool the gymnasium.
These improvements were not included in the $3.1 million budget: 1.
New windows in the rest of the building, 2. New fixtures in the rest rooms,
3. Updating the library which is 20
years out dated, 4. Furnishings and
equipment for computer rooms, 5.
Making building handicap accessible,
6. A new roof. The list goes on.
Contrary to popular belief, we are
not turning down the $3.1 million,
we just want to stop the waste.

IRS IS RUNNING LATE,
WITH GOOD REASON
by Kenneth &key
Scripps Howard News Service
Pay no heed to all the griping and
grousing you've been hearing about
how long it's taking the Internal Revenue Service to send you a tax refund
this year.
Waiting a few weeks longer for a
refund is a small price to pay for
giving the IRS the time it needs to
verify Social Security numbers and
weed out fraudulent tax returns.
"Most people understand," says
IRS Commissioner Margaret
Richardson. "They know the IRS
needs additional time to verify the
fiCCuracy ofrefunds claimed, to maintain the integrity of the tax system
and to make certain that those who
are entitled to refunds get them and
those who are not do not."
·She's probably wrong about that.
Most people want their tax refunds
yesterday, if not sooner; some have
borrowed money by pledging the
expected refund as collateral.
That's one reason fighting fraud is
so difficult.
Another is that Americans have
an ambiguous attitude toward the IRS.
They don't like the fact that people
they know are playing games with
the tax system. But they aren't sure
they want to help the tax collector go
after fellow tax~ayers.
Look at it this way: You pay your
fair share of taxes and want other
people to pay their fair share, too. So
it makes no sense to complain when
the IRS tries to catch cheaters.
A few egregio1.1s examples:
-One tax preparer used a phony
Social Security number more than
400 times while claiming $380,000
in refunds.
-Another filed more than 270
paper and electronic returns with inflated itemized deductions.
-More than IOOreturnswerefiled
by self-employed persons with similar names and addresses trying to
collect $200,000 in refunds under the
earned income tax credit program.
Such scams may beflagrantrather
than typical, but it's not always easy
to tell who's careless and who's
crooked.
Through the end of March, the
IRS had identified more than 6.5
million returns with missing, invalid
or duplicate Social Security numbers. Many may have been innocent
mistakes, but there's no way ofknowing that until numbers are checked
and verified.
The earned income credit is particularly susceptible to fraud because
it refunds money to low-wage workers even if they paid no taxes, a readymade source of funds for the unscrupulous.
For a taxpayer with one child and
an income of less than $23,755, the
credit can be as much as $2,038. For
a taxpayer with two or more children
and an income of less than $25,296
last year, thecreditcan beasmuchas
$2,528.
Of the 82 million refunds the IRS
expects to mail this year, about 7
million are being delayed for one
reason or another. In some cases, the
IRS is sending partial refunds pending a review of whether a claimed tax
credit is legitimate.
At last report, the average refund
this year was $1,056, slightly higher
than last year's average. Which raises
a question:
Why do so many taxpayers have
their employers withhold more than
they should from paychecks during
the year so that each spring they can
get a lump-sum refund from the IRS?
Whatmostofus are doing is making an interest-free loan to the government. Sounds patriotic, but it's
not very smart.

Dr. Paul Craig, II, Medical Director,

Dr. Craig presented a timely topic,
"Workers Compensation Legislation
and Its Impact." He advised the group
to contact the Legislative Research
Commission, State Capitol, 700Capitol Avenue, Frankfort 40601-3486,
for help with Workers Comp ques·

According to Dr. Craig, it costs
the country billions to deal with injured workers. The new thinking is to
put those workers back to work as
soon as possible, with training programs geared to encourage early return to the job. He estimated that
about 75% of people on disability

Tips for exercising safely
There is hardly an atbletc or fitness enthusiast alive who bas not
experienced the pain, disappointment
and frustration of an injury. While it
is true some accidents are out of our
control, most can be prevented by
following tbese simple guidelines.
The most important step for pre- '
vention of injuries is to warm up and
cool down. Warming up stimulates
blood flow to the muscles and joints
and prepares them for activity. The
majority of injuries to weekend athletes occur partly due to improper
warm up. You should always warm
up for at least 5 to 10 minutes before
beginning physical activity. If you do
not believe this is important, watch
the pros-the relief pitcher or backup
quarterback will warm up. Warm up
by gradually increasing your physical activity and cool down by gradually decreasing your physical activity.
A lack of flexibility also contributes to an injury. Flexibility exercises should be included in your warm
up and cool down. Stretches should
be specific to your sport and must be
performed on a regular basis. Many
injuries typical of weekend athletes
can be avoided through a regular
stretching program.
Using the right equipment and
proper safety devices can also reduce
injuries.Ifyouattendanaerobicdance
Dewey Lake Trash Bash
class on a regular basis then, you
should wear aerobics shoes rather
than running shoes. Also, shoes
should be replaced on a regular basis.
As a general rule, shoes should be
replaced at least every six montbs
and more often if you participate in
physical activity more than three
times per week for thirty minutes.
Equipment such as bicycle helmets
can also greatly reduce injuries and
their seriousness should an accident
occur.
The most important factor in injury prevention is common sense.
Make sure your muscles are conditioned before engaging in vigorous
activities and use therightequipment
and any available safety devices. Fitness should be fun. The best way to
enjoy physical activity and prevent
unnecessary injuries is to use your
common sense.
Tip of the Week: Diets should
include three to four servings of vegetables daily.

Project Health Coordinator at Prestonsburg Community College. He has

Make every visit count
with nursing home patients
One of the most loving things you
can do as a visitor is to be aware when
visiting. Wbicb is what the district
and volunteer ombudsman do when
visiting nursing facilities, as do State
Licensure and Regulations during
annual inspections.
Most nursing facilities and those
residing in them are clean and well
cared for, but there are exceptionswhether temporary or ongoing- that
are potentially unhealthy, uncomfortable or unsafe for your loved one who
may not know or be able to do anything about the conditions.
This is also true when older persons are living alone in their own
home, or even while they are living
with a relative or friend.
When you visit take handshakes
and bugs, laughs and cheer, perhaps
a little gift, a listening ear and take a
good look around.

back to get her OED and go to PCC
where she is now a student.
Boyd was one of two keynote
speakers who continued their education after contact with the Prestonsburg Community College's Homemaker and Single Parent Career Development Program.
When Cynthia Francis came to
the podium, her pride in being a PCC
graduate as a single mother of two
was almost as strong as her pride in
her current job as Program Administrator of the Business and Industry
Technical Assistance Center's
(BITECH) Continuing Education
Program and Hazel Green Academy
which is part of Hazard Community
College. Cynthia encouraged the Job
Corp students to keep building their
dreams by setting higher and higher
goals for themselves.
The two women told of the support they had received as partofPrestonsburg Community College's
Homemaker and Single Parent Career Development Program. Jean
Rosenberg, the programdirectorwho
is a member of the Job Corps Community Advisory Board, was on hand
to introduce the speakers.
The graduation ceremony, held in
the Job Corp gymnasium, was organized by Billie Gibson, the center's
Deputy Director of Education and
Training. Gibson handed each student a certificate and wished them
well.
Student graduations take place
biweekly from the Job Corps Program. Formal ceremonies are held

voter registration opportunities, more
people have registered to vote than
were originally expected, Babbage

"We had hoped for an increase of
about 1,000 new registered voters
per week with the new programs. So
far the response has been nearly 1,000

said.
Citizens often say they feel far
removed from the democratic processes," Babbage said. "The unregistered are certainly far removed from
having a say in the government services they pay for and receive."
"One of the major thrusts of government should be to open the door to
all our citizens and remind them of
their privilege to be a part of their
government," he added.
"With all constitutional offices up
for election this year, it is vitally
important that every eligible citizen
take a part in shaping Kentucky's
future. The best way to do that is to
register and to vote," Babbage concluded.

College scholarships
available
Each year individuals preparing
to go to college or graduate school
face the dilemma of how to pay for
tuition, room and board, text books,
lab fees, and other expenses. That's
because college costs have skyrocketed and continue to increase yearly,
putting extra strain on family budgets
and assets.
Yet there are over 375,000 funding sources available to assist these
students. Contrary to popular belief
over 80 percent of the funds available
to students do not depend on family
need or high grades. Many are based
on factors such as the students' interests, hobbies, academic focus, age,
ethnic background or parent's work
or military service.
Remarkably over $6.6 Billion of
this funding goes uncollected each
year simply because people do not
ask for it according to a report by the
National Commission on StudentFinancial Aid. Now a new academic
· funding publication, updated for 1995
is available to help step students
through the process and to outline
their options and identify sources for
assistance.

Good luck All-Stars;
Smallwood class act;
Get well Jeremy!
The Prestonsburg 11year-old AAU All-Stars will
be in Lexington this weekend to take part in the AAU
State Tournament at Paul
Dunbar High School.
Prestonsburg, listed as
Pike County on the drawing, will face Christian
Academy tonight at 6:55
p.m.
Prestonsburg is in Pool 4
with Danville, Scott County
and Christian Academy.
We wish Coach Bobby
Hackworth and his All-Star
team the best and bring home
the title.
SMALLWOOD
BRINGING RESPECT
TO SOUTH FLOYD
South Floyd girls' track
and field coach Keith
Smallwood is a class act
The gentle person has a sincere desire to see his team
do well. He is very interested in each one personally.
I like that in a coach. It's
not what glory he can get for
himself, but he wants his
girls to excell in every event.
Smallwood has done an
excellent job at South Floyd
and really has the only sport
that the Left Beaver school
can boast about.
While the basketball,
football and baseball programs are still in the building stages, Smallwood has
already brought one regional
championship to South
Floyd.
His women's team captured the regional meet last
year at Russell and took part
in the state meet in Lexington last year.
South Floyd is a favorite
to win a second regional
meet this season.
Last year Crystal Isaac, a
Lady Raider runner, received a scholarship to
Cumberland College. Isaac
has already lettered after
only three meets this year.
That's fantastic. That's a plus
for Coach Smallwood.
It also proves that those
who excel1 in track and field
events can receive scholarships and get an education.
I'm happy for Crystal. She
is one of the finest young
people from our county. I'm
happy for Coach Smallwood
for the hard work that he
puts into the program and
the genuine concern he has
for his kids.

While Mercer brings

The foursome of Jennifer Holbrook,
Heather Little, Tackett and Jane Hall
posted a time of 2:07.70 for second
place.
"Our time was a little slower than
previously," said Smallwood, "but
that was because of Lori having to fill
in for Jada. Lori had never run in the
event before. They did real well, I
thought"
Scoring no points for their second
team in the 800-rneter relays, South
Floyd saw their second team finish
thirdwithatimeof2:13.00. The team

Hall, but the Lady Raiders' 400-meter
relay team took home second place
with a time of :58.10.
''That was a bit off for us," said
Smallwood, "but we had Lori filling
in for Jada. She did a good job in
helping us out there. Lori arose to the
occasion for us."
One of the biggest personal improvements had to come from Lady
Raider Mandy Roberts who took over
4 seconds off her time in the 400meter dash. Roberts placed second in
the event with a time of 1:12.82.
Ainanda Compton placed fourth
in the event at 1:18.00. Tara Newman
made her return to the team after
being out due to sickness. Newman

"She hasn't been able to practice
with us," said Coach Smallwood.
"She's just gelling over her allergies."

She placed first at Pikeville and is
one of the top female runners in the

South Floyd finished first with 91
points. Pikeville was second with 69,
Fleming-Neon third with46. Sheldon
Clark and Shelby Valley finished the

"We carne on strong late," said

Mercer will live and play
under the scrunity of a UK
fan. When he is not playing
well, he will hear the comments. However, when he
is on his game, no one will
praise him like the UK fans.
Coach Rick Pitino has
already said that UK will
have two teams next year- a junior varsity team as
well as a varsity.
I never heard of such a
thing since freshmen were
permitted to play on the varsity level.
I liked the idea years ago
when there were freshman
teams and they played other
freshmen teams before the
varsity game.
Harry Lancaster, and
then Joe Hall, coached the
Wildcats under the legendary Baron, Adolph Rupp.
Pitino says that he will
coach this junior varsity
team. It will be interesting.

An audiologist will be conducting
hearing test for children who may
have bearing problems or have failed

Anyone can refer a child to the
clinic. For additional information on
services provided, call 349-7411.
There is no charge for the first
visit and all other visit fees are determined by income and family size.
Insurance and Medicaid patients are

A small group of independent
truckers who were on strike this week
after a coal company cut the price per
ton it paid to haulers; settled the dispute Wednesday.
Coal truck drivers representing
eight independent companies said
Premier Elkhorn's cut from $2.20
per ton to $1.70 is a cut they just
couldn't live with.
The company offered a new rate,
and the truckers were back on the job
Wednesday morning, company
spokesman Paul Matney said.
"I will say that the rates were
settled somewhere in between the
two numbers," Matney said.
The stike began when drivers were
flagged down by company representatives on Thursday, April 20, and
notified of the cuts while hauling
their final load for the day, said Sandra
Hall, owner of Mike's Trucking.
In addition to the price cuts, truckers expressed safety concerns following a request that they travel a
cut-through constructed by the company, rather than through Long Fork,
hauling coal to the preparation plant
at Myra.
The cut-through saves time, said
Matney, cutting mileage from 20 to
10 miles one way, and cuts down on
traffic through a congested area.
"We thought the $1.70 was a reasonable price since the actual distance was cut in half and the cycle
times would be shorter," be said.
However, truckers did test runs
Tuesday and concluded that the extra
runs were not feasible.
"It's unsafe. There's been a bunch
of trucks come up here and look at it
and say 'no way' and leave," Hall
said.
Hall said her husband, who's been
driving coal trucks since he was 16,
tried the new road.
"The truck got light in the front
end," she said. "My husband almost
lost his truck on it."
Matney acknowledged that the
road was new and truckers hadn't
been hauling over it.
"We do not want the truckers on a
road that is not safe," Matney said,
but, he added, mine safety officials,
looked at the area and "believed the
road to be safe."
Drivers said the $1.70 per ton
would not be enough to compensate
for the breakdowns or wear and tear
on the trucks, something Hall claims
would "double" after traveling the
cut-through.
"You' 11 rag a truck out in six
months," truck driver Mike Johnson
said.
Truck driver Jerry Little agreed
with Johnson.
"A truck has 100 percent brake
power forward and 60 percent brake
power backward. You'd do good to
stop it forward if something broke,
let alone backward," he said.
In an attempt to resolve the problem, two coal truck drivers, accompanied by Premier employees, traveled both the routes Tuesday, measuring distance, time and road conditions.
With the settlement the truckers
have the option to use either route,
Matney said, we have assigned two
different rates, depending on which
route they choose to go.
Matney said the work stoppage
only affected about 20 percent of the

step in a project's construction, he
agreed with Young's steps.
"If you're going to put in a lot of
time and effort into a project like this,
it' sreally helpful to have the city's or
the county's support. We just advised them (the council) that it was
possible without raising taxes or
implementing additional taxes."
According to Matthews, the path
to a facility's construction is fairly
simple. The city (or the county, if it is
desired) would establish a non-profit
organization to qualify for tax-exempt status and lower interest rates
for the bonds. It would then hire a
finn to conduct a feasibility study to
see how much the center would cost
and how it would be paid for (either
by taking in business or by raising
taxes). The organization could then
contact a registered bonding agent to
sell the bonds.
In the two years it's been in existence, the Mountafn Area Drug Task
Force bas confiscated drugs with a
street value of $750,000 throughout
the four counties it covers.
In Pike County last week, 41 arrest warrants and 10 search warrants
were executed for alleged illegal drug
activity, ranging from trafficking in
marijuana and cocaine to trafficking

yards of a school.
The Pike County Sheriffs Department, Pikeville City Police, Floyd
County Sheriffs Department and the
Kentucky State Police worked along
with the drug task force rounding up
suspects throughout the county.
Pike Sheriff Charles "Fuzzy"
Keesee said officers began making
arrests before 6 a.m. Friday. The arrests were the result of a two-month
investigation.
The investigations are ongoing,
and other arrests were pending, according to Keesee.
A list of those arrested in the drug
round-up was not available by
presstime; however, Tony Ward of
Freeburn, arrested for allegedly trafficking in cocaine, wanted to make a
statement to the local media during
his processing by the sheriffs department Friday.
Ward, who admitted he'd been
arrested four times on drug-related
charges in the past, said he was "being harassed" by police.
''They get me every three months,"
Ward said. "They tore rny bouse all to
pieces."
Wardsaidhewasn'tworriedabout
being arrested or about the pending
drug trafficking charge.
"I know it ain't true," be said.
Drug task force Director Frank
Fryman said the organization is beginning to have an impact.
By the time the drug task force is
in its third year, "we're looking to
have a measurable impact," Fryman
said.
The task force has seen an increase in pharmaceutical drugs on
the street, according to Fryman. He
also said the task force is looking at
implementing drug awareness education programs in the local communities to try to combat that increase.
The Pike County Sheriffs Department has participated in the task
force since its inception.
Living in rural areas, coupled with
small police departments and limited
funds, Fryman said law enforcement
agencies don't always have a lot of

In addition to the drivers, a crowd
of about 60 people, including area
residents, were at the site Tuesday.
Local residents were on hand to
speak to Premier Elkhorn employees
about the dust created as a result of
mining activity.
Resident Brad Taylor said at least
100 loads of coal are hauled from the
area daily.
Tuesday was the first time residents had approached Premier about
the dust problem, according to Taylor, who said the residents weren't
against mining either, since most
people on the hollow made their living in the coal mines.

Wolf Creek lays
off 57 miners after leak
Just one week after Wolf Creek Collieries officials
announced a temporary agreement with Carolina Power
and Light (the mine's most important long-term customer), a methane gas leak has permanently closed a
section of Wolf Creek's No.4 mine, putting 45 underground and 12 tipple laborers out of work.
Company officials are not saying if the layoffs are
permanent.
Union officers said the union is waiting until a contract
with CP&L is written before taking any action.
Miners who have been laid off will have flrst priority
if Wolf Creek hires any additional employees or the
miners will be placed on a "panel," to be put to work at
other union mines if any positions become available.

A traffic accident claimed the lives of Kelly Gibson,
22, of Pikeville, and Tracy Lee Ford, 18, of Raccoon, both
passengers in a 1985 Ford Mustang.
A KSP report said Gibson was driving the Mustang
west on Ky. 194 at Meta, when he lost control of the
vehicle, flrst leaving the roadway and then re-entering
sideways, crossing over into the path of a 1994 Chevrolet
driven by Brenda Stiltner of Grundy, Virginia.
Ford, a passenger in the Mustang, was pronounced
dead at the scene by Deputy Coroner Russell Hall. Gibson
was taken to the Pikeville Methodist Hospital and was
pronounced dead at 7:09 p.m. by an emergency room
doctor.
Stiltner was also taken to the hospital and was treated
and released.
Police said no seat belts were in use. (Information

Bids higher than funding,
water projects on hold
Bids for water projects at Smith Fork of Phelps, and
Hurricane Creek near Cedar Creek in Pikeville, came in
$150,000 above the Sl million in funds committed by
Johnson County property owners will receive three
tax bills within an 18-month to two-year period, probably
beginning this fall, new PVA Jim Gambill said on Tuesday.
Gambill said state Revenue Cabinet officials have
completed about 65 percent of the county's property
reassessments. When the process is finished, 1994 tax
bills will be ready for mailing.
Gambill said to get back on schedule, there will be a
tax bill coming . out this fall and as soon as that is
completed, revenue personnel will begin putting together
the '95 tax rolls for certification. They're picking up that
same information right now along with new construction.
Gambill, who is not helping with the reassessments,
said he has reviewed some of the appraisals and found
them to be accurate.
Gambill, a real estate agent who was appointed PVA
in March, said he has spent most of his time learning the
ropes. He said he will have no control over the assessments property owners receive in the fall.
An appeals process will be established for residents
who feel their property has been assessed too high and if
they are still not satisfied, residents can file a formal
appeal with the county appeals board.

Abandoned Mine Land funds.
The Hurricane project was allotted $856,000, with
$550,000 allocated for the Smith Fork project.
A steady decrease in annual congressional appropriations for the AML program, coupled with a funding
limitation established by the Federal Surface Mining Act,
limits AML's ability to respond to the county's ne.eds.
If other water projects come in under budget, it could
be late 1995 before the agency knows whether additional
funds would be available.
AML provides funding for water projects in areas
where groundwater supplies have been destroyed by coal
mining activity prior to 1977. AML allocated monies for
water projects in eight Kentucky counties this year.
Construction on the projects was tentatively set for
June. (Information provided by the Appalachian NewsExpress)

According to Paintsville Assistant Police Chief Steve
Fitch, Wheeler was attempting to turn onto Route 460
from Route 40 when he apparently pulled into the path of
a car driven by Lisa Burke, 25, of Hager Hill.
Burke's car struck the driver's side of Wheeler's
vehicle, which then hit a road blockade, went through a
ditch line, hit an embankment and went over the side of
a hill, Fitch said.
Wheeler was taken to Paul B. Hall Regional Medical
Center, where he died of multiple injuries.
His wife, Chloteen McFarlan Wheeler, 66, who was a
passenger in the car, was injured in the wreck and was
hospitalized at the Paintsville hospital.
Burke, an employee of The Paintsville Herald, was
also injured but not hospitalized.
Funeral services for Wheeler were held Saturday at

Crisp celebrates 100 years
by Polly Ward
Times Feature Writer
What can you give a person
who has everything-loving family and friends, as well as good
health-inhonorofhis lOOth birthday?
Allen city officials came up with
the answer this past Saturday when
they bestowed upon resident Felix
Crisp the key to the city.
"He is the only citizen who has
ever been given a key to this city as
far as I know," said Allen Mayor
Chris Waugh before he and councilwoman Virgie Woods and chief
of police Virgil Conn presented
the key to the surprised centenarian.
"He's been a citizen here and
been a businessman," Waugh
added. "And he is the only person
I remember who has lived to be a
hundred years old."
"I served this town 18 years on
the city council," Felix told -the
crowd of family and friends who
had gathered in the living room for
the presentation.
Actually Felix turned 100 on
Easter Sunday, April 16; but in
honor of his reaching the century
mark, Felix's wife Etta, 92, held
open house last Friday, Saturday
and Sunday at their home in Allen.
Assisting in the three-day celebration was the couple's two living
children, Eula O'Neil of Louisa,
and Ray Crisp of Allen. One son,
Obie Crisp, is deceased.
Over 125 relatives and friends,
some from as far away as Michigan and Florida, came to wish Felix
a happy birthday and to give him
cards, gifts and flowers. One gift
was from his many friends in town.
"People in the community fixed
him up a money tree," Ray said. "It
had a hundred one dollar bills. I
took them off and counted them
for him."
Another gift was a fishing hat
with the words "Genuine antique
person" lettered across the top.
Being a good sport, Felix wore the
hat while he posed for family pictures on Saturday.
Felix also received a birthday
card from President and Mrs.
Clinton, who congratulated him
and wished him good health and
happiness.
Felix and Etta belong to theN ew
Salem Old Regular ;Baptist Church
on Prater Creek and on Sunday
afternoon several friends from the
Old Regular Baptist denomination
came to the house for a special
service.
Felix is well known in Allen. He
not only served on the city council
for almost two decades, but he was
a successful barber in the small
town.
He established his business in
1919 after returning home from
World War I. Soon after, he married Etta, a pretty girl he met one
day in 1919 at a well in town. The
couple were married on January
17, 1920 by her relative Alex L.
Allen at her parents' home. The
Crisps still live in the same white
frame house they built after they
married 7 5 years ago. Besides their
two living children, the Crisps have
8 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
"The children just love him,"
son Ray said. "They come and visit
him quite often."
Felix's only physical limitations
are near blindness due to cataracts,
and almost total deafness. But he
bathes, shaves and dresses himself
and he cooks when he wants to.
"He does very well to be that old,"
Etta said. "He takes care of himself, and gives himself his own
bath."
"He does awful good. His mind
is real good." Ray said about his
father. "I'm just proud that he is
my pappy."
A unique honor

''The types of issues are called
marketing issues. Whoever buys these
bonds would like to know how the
place is going to pay for itself. Once
everything is in place, if it can get a
certificate of need from the state, it's
a go. On a best-case scenario, it would
probably take six months to conduct
the study and about a year to construct the facility."
Though a project like Young's
medical center could be constructed
without placing a tax burden on the
taxpayer, Matthews said bonds are
typically easier to sell if the purchaser can be guaranteed the project
would be able to pay for itself.
"But even without raising taxes,
the project would still be able to be
managed for at least one year because we bold out what is called one
year prime and interest on the project
just in case it cannot meet its obligations. That gives the agent a year to
decide what to do if it cannot meet the
payments... They can raise taxes, sell
to private investors or a number of
other options."
Matthews said the facilitY would
need the CON so it could receive
federal reimbursements for Medicaid and Medicare.
"That's a big selling point when
you try to sell the bonds. You wouldn't
want a lot of outstanding payments,"
he said.
The council agreed to place its
name on the project - without assuming any of the liability for making monthly payments on the bonds.
"Generally, we agreed that it was
a good ideal and it was worth pursuing," said Inez Mayor Betty Cole.
Agents from Ross, Sinclair and
Associates will meet with Judge-Executive Kelly Callaham this next week
about a county-sponsored medical
center, Matthews said.

In two years, the task force has
processed 280 people with more than
800 alleged drug charges.
By combining law enforcement
efforts through the creation of the
task force, Fryman said, "It gave us
the weapon that was necessary to
bring 280 people under arrest."

�In October, the grandson of Rev. Fred Phelps, the
Topeka, Kan., preacher who routinely pickets with
harsh anti-gay signs at the funerals of AIDS victims,
petitioned the Topeka school district to be allowed to
participate in the district's "public service" program
designed to encourage high school students to volunteer time to improve the community. The grandson's
"public serrice" would be to picket alongside Phelps to
help rid the community of homosexual behavior. As of
mid-March, the district had still not decided whether to
grant the petition.
JUST CAN'T STOP MYSEU'
--Richard Panzella, 32, was arrested in Plainview,
N.Y., in November and charged with two counts of
stealing shoes off the feet of women. According to a
police spokesman, Panzella built his large collection of
women's shoes first by buying them at stores, then by
buying shoes on the spot from women on the street,
and now by stealing them. ·
--Dr. Robert J. Cosgrove's reappointment as staff
anesthesiologist at Granville Medical Center in
Oxford, N.C., was delayed briefly in December.
According to a sheriffs report, three female YMCA
employees reported that a man, who entered on
Cosgrove's membership card and left in his car, had
dressed as a woman and gone into a women's locker
room at theY. Further arousing suspicion was
Cosgrove's decision to shave his long-standing beard
right around the time of the incident. Cosgrove denied '
the charges and was reappointed.
--The city of Winston-Salem, N.C., agreed to a
settlement in September with its most notorious
parking ticket scofflaw. Details were not revealed, but
Thomas D. Scott potentially owed $52,000 for 990
parking tickets (and late fee acquired over the last five
years.) Initially, Scott's reaction was: "That's not even
real, man. How could anybody get that many parking
tickets?"
--In February, Friendsville, Md., Mayor Spencer
Schlosnagle, 31, pleaded guilty to one count of
exposing himself in his car along Interstate 68. He had
already served 30 days of work-release stemming from
a November conviction for a similar incident on the
same highway. Schlosnagle was ftrst elected mayor at
age 21 and, despite the widespread local knowledge of
his "problem," was re-elected in February 1994.
--In February, two boys, ages 15 and 14, were
released from court in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after a
hearing before Judge Larry Seidlin for stealing a car,
which, according to police, was the 25th car theft
committed by the boys in two years. According to
police, the boys walked out of the courthouse, realized
they had no bus fare home, and promptly swiped
number 26, which they crashed into a fence 45 minutes
later.

--In December, scientists for an environmental
group reported that a new species of plant and three
new species of insects were found during inspection of
the grounds of the federal government's Hanford
nuclear reservation near Richland, Wash.
-- In August, Nancy Bell, 46, was arrested on a DUI
charge in East Moline, Ill. Bell, who wanted to become
a member of the Zion Lutheran Church and was
serving a probationary peri<.kl while members evaluated her application, accidentally crashed into the
church at 1:15 a.m.
-- In August, shopkeepers whose kiosks are on the
ground level of the National Stadium in Dhaka,
Bangladesh, threatened a lawsuit if the National Sports
Council doesn't deal with their most pressing concern.
According to a spokesman for the shopkeepers, when
the 80,000-capacity stadium is full, as it is for soccer
games, it often appears "as if it's raining" down below
because the stadium was built without public
restrooms.
--In January, the New York Health Depattment
revealed that someone had recently stolen a dismantled, 4-foot-deep, aboveground pool from an
industrial site in Tonawanda, N.Y., perhaps with the
intent to install it as a backyard swimming facility.
However, the depattment announced that the pool had
been used only to store the radioactive substance
americium. Said a spokesman, "[W]e believe the pool
should not be used for swimming."
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINAL
Daniel Robert Shodean, 24, pleaded guilty in
February to the November attempted robbery of a
convenience store in Detroit Lakes, Minn. According
to the prosecutor, Shodean told a man he was going to
rob the store, gave the man a dollar, and asked him to
go into the store and buy Shodean a scarf that would
conceal his identity during the crime. The man took the
dollar, walked inside, and informed the clerk, who
called police.

A tribute to the Beatles
"1964... the Tribute," a recreation of the Beatles,
will perform Friday, April 21, in the Crager Room,
Adron Doran University Center, on the campus of
Morehead State University.
The performance will begin at 8 p.m. Cost is $7
at the door.
Featuring four Beatles look and sound-alikes,
"The Tribute" is designed to bring Beatles-mania
into the 90s. The group performs the songs the
Beatles immortalized during tours from 1964-66.
Voted "Contemporary Music Artists of the Year"
by the National Association for Campus Activities,
"1964... The Tribute" incorporates similar equipment and mannerisms used by the real Beatles.
Formerly known as "1964...As the Beatles," the
group took on a different name after settling a court
battle with Apple Records, the real Beatles record
company and distributor.
The concert is sponsored by MSU's Student
Government Association. Additional infonnation is
available by calling (606) 783-2071.
Our usual attempt at levity in this space
seems somewhat inappropriate in the wake
of the tragedy unfolding in Oklahoma
City, where a terrorist bomb wiped out
dozens, perhaps hundreds, of innocent
people, including a number of children.
While we don'tknow yet who is responsible for the bombing, there's better than a
50-50 chance that some group entwined
with religious fanaticism is behind this
mindless act of terror.
It's ironic and de~ply disturbing to note
that much ofthe world's misery and bloodshed is perpetrated in the name of religion.
That's an historic truth.
From the days of the Inquisition, the
Crusades, to the violence of today's Islamic Revolution, people have murdered
and been murdered in the name of God.
But whatever the underlying cause is for
these so-called holy wars, it is almost
inevitable that the victims of them have
nothing to do with the "struggles.~~
What, for example, did the children who
died in the Oklahoma City bombing have
to do with the battle between religions in
the Middle East?
Nothing, of course.
But if they were, indeed, the victims of
some holy war, then they will have everything to do with it from this day on.
Those who claim we are vulnerable to
such attacks because we don't understand
the cultures of religious fanatics should be
warned that we aren't interested in what
their societies condone in the name of
religion.
Our country should commit itself to the
eradication worldwide of the vermin who
lust on the blood of innocent people.
With, as they say in the movies, extreme
prejudice.
Any country who harbors, trains and
finances terrorists is our enemy. They
must be made to understand that we will
not allow our citizens to be butchered for
their insane causes.
We seek a peaceful world where people
can coexist regardless of their beliefs.
We cannot, however, allow those beliefs to justify slaughter.
Those terrorists who have struck
America's heartland need to realize that
America has the heart to make them pay.
And the price will be high.

Friend or foe?
There's nothing better than a true friend. They
don'tjudge you, nag you about fixing supper, or jump
on you for being late. At least, my friend, Jean, is like
this. And though she does tell me I need to get my
teeth cleaned and wear a deodorant that eliminates
underarm ooor, I know that I can depend on her to be
there for me. And after an incident which occurred
last week, Jean and I both know we now need to
depend on her mother to be our friend, too.
After one of our infrequent "walk for health"
jaunts, Jean and I decided to end our promenade by
cruising by her mother's and asking her if she'd like
to join us by indulging in a well-deserved ice cream
treat. She obliged.
"I'm so glad you came by for me," Tommy Jean
said with a smile. "I was craving something sweet."
"Me, too," I agreed, "but I don't have any money.
Wonder if they'll take a check?"
"I've got money," Jean replied.
"I do, too," Tommy Jean said. "I'll treat you.
Sara."
When we arrived, Jean started to get some change
out of her billfold, but realized she wasn't going to
have enough to get us all something.
"Here." Tommy Jean said as she shoved enough
money into
Jean's band to
get our ice
cream plus a
treat for Jean's
husband. "My
treat."
Sara Hopson
"Oh, that
looks good,"
Tommy Jean said when Jean returned and handed her
a hot fudge sundae.
"I've got your change in my pocket, Mom. I' II give
it to you when I get out of the car to take Owen's ice
cream to him," Jean said.
When we pulled into Jean's driveway there was a
man standing in the yard.
"Oh, he's been working on our lawn. I bet he's
done," Jean said as she jumped out of the car. We
heard her tell the man that she'd be back as soon as
Smile
Awhile
she ran Owen's ice cream in to him. While she was in
the bouse, Tommy Jean and I talked about the
weather and how she would like to walk with us
some evenings if we'd come and get her. "I've
enjoyed this," she said. At the point, Jean returned
and began talking with the man. She then walked up
to the car and knocked on her mother's window.
"Mom," she said as she reached into her pant's
pocket for the change that was left over from our ice
cream frenzy. "Do you have any more money?"
Tommy Jean reached into her purse and handed
Jean some more greenbacks. As she was rolling up
the window she said, "Sara, I take back what I said.
The next time you and Jean decide to go walking,
count me out. I can't afford it. This little sojourn has
already set me back almost $30, and I'm not even
home yet."
The funny thing about the whole incident is that
Tommy Jean said, "After spending all the money, I
forgot to put any hot fudge on my hot fudge sundae.
Next time I'll take a raincheck."
Jean and I don't care what kind of check it is. as
long as Tommy Jean pays.
Stephen King is one of my favorite novelists. In
fact, I've read so many of his books, I doubt I'll ever
want to visit the state of Maine (the setting of so many
of his works). As you probably well know, most of his
stories are works of horror. Yet, with "Misery," also
starring Kathy Bates, be proved he could also pen a
great tltriller.
This movie falls into that category. Bates is the title
character, a bitter woman who's been beaten down by
life. Jennifer Jason Leigh is her estranged daughter,
Selena, a writer for a magazine. As the fJ.lm opens,
Selena is returning to her home in Maine (where else?)
because Mom has been charged with murdering Vera
Donovan, her wealthy employer. Dolores had been
serving as the recluse's housekeeper.
By the way, this is Dolores' second murder charge,
the ftrst victim being Selena's abusive, alcoholic
father. In that case, however, Selena was only a girl
and the death was ruled to be an accident.
In this case, however, a witness saw the old lady
crumpled up at the bottom of a flight of stairs with
Dolores straddling her, rolling pin upraised, preparing
to strike. The detective assigned to the case, John
Mackey (Christopher Plummer), happens to be the
same guy who worked on the first murder case.
Naturally, his hackles are raised.
Much of the movie is devoted to the relationship
between mother and daughter and the various events
which transpired to get these two women to the
present state of circumstances. It is heavy, dark, grim
3Ild macabre. In other words, it has all the earmarks of
King's genius.
The performances by the principals are nothing
short of excellent, but it is Bates who steals the show.
She captures the gloomy, despairing character of
Dolores in an absolutely haunting manner. It's no
wonder she's an Oscar-winning actress.
If you're going to take this one in, I don't recommend that you go to the theater alone. You're going to
need someone to hold onto!

NATASHA'S STARS
Annual Event - Breakfast Buffet
May 5, 1995, 8:15 a.m.-11:00 a.m.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Unexpected career developments
could cause a revision of a plan. Try
to accept this gracefully. You feel
that a partner is out of tune with your
feelings. A good heart-to-heart chat
will bring you closer.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Plans involving travel are subject to
change. Distractions and a wandering mind could slow you down a bit
at work this week. A talk with higherups is productive and leads to a variety of new responsibilities.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
You could change your mind about
an investment you've been contemplating. In romance, you're on shaky
ground and uncertain of your feelings. It probably is time for a sincere
talk. Creativity is a plus.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Those involved in an academic situ-
by SALLY STONE
ation could have second thoughts
about the pursuit of a certain course
of study. Guests will probably be an
inconvenience, but you' 11 be making
important domestic plans this week.
LEO(July23toAugust22)There
could be changes in your work schedule early in the week and someone is
slow in answering your correspondence. However, it's still a good week
for reaching agreements with others.
Talks with loved ones are productive.
VIRGO(August23 to September
22) This week isn't a good one for
financial risk-taking or gambling.
Shoppers need to be wary of defective items. Work goes smoothly and
offers new changes for advancement
and financial gain. However, pay attention to detail.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You could be uncertain on
how to best handle a sticky domestic
situation. You find yourself in the
middle, being pulled in two directions. At work, you need to guard
against a tendency to daydream and
slack off.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You could have mixed
feelings about socializing this week
and are uncertain about which invitations to accept. Undercurrents are
affecting your relatiOI~ship with a
close tie. Don't allow others to interfere.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) You're tempted to
make an expensive, impulsive purchase of something for your home
early in the week. However, it's best
to try to avoid this. You'll be sorry
when the bill comes due. It's not a
good week for entertaining.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) It's best not to present
new ideas to others until you have
your thoughts better organized this
week. However, once you've developed your plans, feel free to consult
with those who can be of the most
help to you now.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You could be wrestling
with an ethical problem within yourself early in the week.! Iowcvcr, your
high sense of moral values comes to
your rescue and you make the right
decision. Later in the week, you revise travel plans.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) A friend is somewhat confused
and that's why he or she seems unpredictable at present. If possible, try
to talk to this person tofindoutwhat' s
really going on. Don't involve yourself in risky financial schemes.

TIPS
ANIMAL LOVE-My family
and I live near a lar~e wooded area.
We are always ~ooking for."':ays to
help feed the an~als that vtstt us.
We have squrrrels that love the
pecans and peanuts that we throw
out. The opossums love bread and
~ogf~. Weespeciallylikethebeauuful btrds. We frequently see blue
jays and red birds. We put out bird
seed and set up bird houses for their
comfort.
Recently, I discovered that we can
help our birds build their homes by
throwing out lint from the clothes
dryer, cotton balls and trimmed-off
hair. The birds love these "supplies."
Therefore, next time you want to
help build a nest, don't throw away
that what appears to be useless trash.

SHEETS-This could be something
everyone knows, but it's new to me.
I take my used fabric-softener
strips to get into tight corners. A
broom or vacuum cannot get into
those messy little spots, but a strip
wrapped around a finger will make
corners come clean.
Also, for a quick pickup on the
floor, they are just great. Lynette F.,

NIGHT LIGHT- I always keep
a night light in my cosmetics case to
put in the bathroom of motels when
we travel. Otherwise, it is too dark in
a strange room at night. Renee P.,
Naples, Fla.

searching Jacob's motel room. Wait
To See: Jacob takes his next planned
step.
ONE LIFE TO LIVE: Kelly
comforted a heartbroken Joey after

Times -Bridal Supplement
Lessons in love:
Imaginative ways to 'pop' the question
Proposing marriage was
once as simple as dropping to
one knee with diamond ring
in hand, but times have
changed: While getting down
on one knee is still an option,
many grooms-to-be (and
sometimes brides-to-be) are
fmding delightfully inventive
ways to propose.
According to a recent poll
in Bride's & Your New Home
magazine, 92 percent of
brides-to-be felt that the way
their fiance proposed was
perfect and they wouldn't
change a thing about that special moment (Of those who
were disappointed, most said
that they wished that their
fianct had surprised them
with a ring instead of accompanying them to pick it out).
The sky's the limit when it
comes to marriage proposals,
revealed the Bride's poll,
from the subtle slipping of a
ring on to the girlfriend's fmger during a romantic mm
like "Cinderella," to a more
complex approach such as
organizing a scavenger hunt
with clues that lead all over
town and eventually to an
engagement ring.
Thereasonforthisincrease
in creative proposals:
"Couples today are marrying
later in life; the average bride
is 24, her groom 26," says
Barbara Tober, editor-inchiefofBride's. '"They'vehad
more time to prepare for this
big moment-a moment that
they will remember throughout their married life."
Here from Bride's the latest news in proposals from
across the nation:
Romance in Motion ... A
Washington Transit Advertising employee was annoyed
when a bus cut in front of his
car on the freeway, but what
the advertisement on the back
of the bus displayed really
slowed him down. It was a
"Happy Birthday" message
from his girlfriend which included a request, "Will you
marry me?" Scheming with
his boss, the girlfriend had
arranged for the ads to run on
five buses. But it wasn't only
noticed by the groom-to-be:
the Seattle Times ran a story
about the proposal before the
couple told their families.
Whoops!
A Surprise lnside ...A San
Francisco bride was surprised
to see a proposal addressed to
her flash on the scoreboard at
a 49er' s football game. Her
ring was concealed inside a
box of Cracker Jacks a vendor handed her at just the right
moment. She said, "Yes!"
Lessons In Love ...A seventh-grade teacher in Georgia was startled one
Valentine's day when a giant
box covered in red hearts was
rolled into her science classroom. After reading a card
that promised her three
wishes, and tapping the top of
·th th
· al
the box WI
e magic
Cupid's arrow, out popped
her boyfriend with a dozen
roses, a box of candy and an
engagement ring.

things. He donned
a rabbit
groom-totogetaJumpon
costume and hopped on over
to his beloved's house where
he presented her with a carrot
out of the basket he was carrying. The tip of the carrot
sparkled with a carat of another kind-a diamond engagement ring.
And a Side Order of
Happiness ... While they were
on vacation in Nashville, a
man from Alabama decided
he would propose over dinner in the well-known
Opryland Hotel. To make the
moment unique, he enlisted
the assistance of some willing staff members who sup-

Finding the dress of your dreams
Once you've determined
your theme, fmd the dress of
your dreams. All brides look
beautiful. The most important thing is that you feel beautiful. It's your special day, so
choose something that makes
you feel that way. Select the
perfect gown with these tips
fromPlanningA WeddingTo
Remember by Beverly Clark:
•Startlookingearly. You
will need to order your gown
fourtosixmonthsbeforeyour
wedding, or even earlier if
you're having a bridal portrait done.
• Determine your style.
Start by looking through the
latest issues of bridal magazines, saving the pictures of
the dresses you like best Note

or the bridal issue, on the picture. It makes for easier reference later. Fmd out from your
church if there are any restrictions regarding off-theshoulder or low-cut gowns.
Next consider which style
would look best on your figure type.
• Set your budget. Determine what you have to spend
on your gown and accessories. Wedding gowns vary in
price from a few hundred
dollars to several thousand.
Be realistic about what you
can spend, and don't forget
about your headpiece, shoes,
special full slip, etc. Your cost
can rise very quickly with the
addition of these extras.
• Find a reputable salon.
With your budget in mind,
start looking in bridal salons.
You may want to call ahead
since some require appointments. If your schedule permits, try to shop on a weekday. You will get better service and won't feel rushed.
• Bring your mother or a.
friend. It's always more fun
to shop with your mother, sister or best friend; you will
want their opinion. However,
don't confuse things by shopping with too many people.
Ask a friend who has tastes
similar to your own.
• Bring accessories. When
shopping for your gown, bring
shoes similar to those you plan
on wearing, and a strapless or
backless bra, if you have one.
The salon may or may not

How to capture your wedding memories
One of the most frequently
heard complaints uttered by
the more than 2.5 million
couples who get married each
year is, "Things happened so
quickly I hardly even remembermyownwedding!"That's
why photography is so important.
Next to the bride and
groom, the most important
person at the wedding is often
the photographer. To help
ensure wedding memories are
recorded for years to come,
Eastman Kodak Company
offers the following tips:
• Going to the ChapelSome of the best memories
happen even before "the big
day." The bride trying on
veils, the flower girl rehearsing her part, the groom at his
bachelor party. To make sure
these spontaneous moments
are recorded, delegate attendants as official record keepers. Arm them with Kodak
Fun Saver 35 single-use cameras and let them snap away.
• Bridal Shower Blues-Sure, the bridal shower is fun,
but what's a girl to do when
it's time to send out thankyou notes and she can't remember which guest gave
•
•
•
which crystal wine decanter?
As each gift is opened, have
the maid of honor snap a shot
of the bride with the gift and
the guest who gave it The
benefits: no gift confusion;
it's easier than writing every~
thing down; and with a quick
note scrawled on the back,
the photos serve as great
thank-you cards.
• Get the Guests Involved-One oftoday's biggest wedding trends is for
brides to place single-use
cameras on tables, inviting
guests to capture candid moments. Kodak recently introduced the Kodak Fun Saver
wedding party pack containing five single-use cameras.
Each camera is designed with
elegant, floral and lace graphics and has 12 exposures.
• Work With Your Photographer-Even the best
professional wedding photographers can't record the
memories unless you work
with them. Before the hectic
big day, plan to meet with
your photographer to discuss
the style of photos you want,
who is important to photograph, etc.
• Let Your Photographer
•
•
HaveFun!-Ofcourse you'll
want posed wedding portraits,
but give your photographer
the flexibility and encouragement to have fun experimenting with candid situations. So
often, these shots conjure up
the best and funniest memories of the wedding.

How to plan the perfect wedding reception
If you've determined the
time and style of your wedding and considered the number of guests and size of your
budget, you probably have a
good idea of the type of reception that will suit your
needs and desires. Listed below, from Beverly Clark's
book Planning A Wedding
To Remember, are the various types of receptions:
Dinner
Buffet receptions
A dinner reception is usually started sometime between
6:00 and 9:00 p.m. In many
cases, cocktails and hors
d'oeuvres are served in the
frrst hour, with a sit-down or
buffet dinner following. Such
cocktail service will add to
your expenses. (To keep expenses down, offer wine and
beer, rather than a full bar.) A
cocktail hour of some kind
gives people time to go
through the receiving line and
mingle with friends, especially when a sit-down dinner
follows.
A buffet reception is one
in which the guests serve
themselves. They may choose
to sit at a table of their choice,
or seats may be assigned. The
buffet table is arranged with a
variety of food, and can be
either round or oblong, with
the food placed around the
edge. It may also be rectangular with food served from
behind one side, or with food
displayed along both sides.
The way the tables are arranged will be determined by
the area available and the
number of guests. Try to avoid
making the guests wait in a
longline.Foralargernumber
Luncheon
These are similar to brunch
receptions and may be either
sit-downorbuffetstyle. They
generally follow a late morning or high noon ceremony
and are served between 12
and 2p.m.
Buffet luncheons may include a variety of salads, such
as potato, fruit, chicken, pasta
or vegetables with dip.

Sit-down receptions
As mentioned before, quite
obviously, this is a party
where the guests are served at
the table. It usually, but not
always, bas a more formal
feeling, and most of the time
is preceded by a cocktail hour
so the guests can mingle. A
sit-down reception provides
for more organization. It is
easier to get the guests' attention when the traditional ceremonies, such as cutting the
cake, are to begin. On the
other band, some people feel
that sit-down service tends to
quiet the party down, and discourages people from mingling.

of guests, have two buffet
tables, one at each end of the
room.
Food station receptions
Another idea which is
unique and adds to the decor
of the area is what is called
food stations. They are
smaller buffet tables which
are set up around the room, or
in different areas of a garden.
It is especially nice when each
food station bas a different
theme and type of food. Decorate them with floral displays
and unique serving pieces.
They will not only look beautiful, but are a fun way for the
guests to eat, and will increase
the mingling of guests. Try a
beautiful display of cheeses
with breads and fresh fruits
displayed in baskets, or an
ice-carved boat filled with
jumbo shrimp and crab legs.
Or you may add to this eating
adventure a chef carving a
roast, serving hot won tons
from a wok or a chicken crepe
made right in front of the
guests' eye.

Ordering flowers without a botany degree
Every day, there's a customerwhopicks up the phone,
calls a florist...and gets completely tongue-tied. It's not
due to a phobia of phones,
flowers or florists-it's a
communications barrier.
Mostconsumersaren'tfamiliar with the names of the wide
range of flowers available.
By following some simple
tips, consumers can order
flowers with confidence and
withoutsW]>rises. The American Floral Marketing Council (AFMC), an industry-promotion board dedicated to
reminding consumers about
the role of flowers in our everyday lives, offers some advice.
''Florists make things easy.
We take phone orders. We
make each arrangement individually. We deliver. And we
know that we're usually delivering more than flowers-we're delivering feelings. So
we want the flowers to be just
what you wanted," said
Charles F. Kremp III, florist
and AFMC chairman.
Two dramatics and
one traditional, please
One arrangement is for a
grandmother who loves gardening; the other is a centerpiece for an elegant dinner
party. How to communicate
the difference? Use these tips
when working with your florist
• When ordering floral
gifts, describe the recipient's
personality type-romantic,
artistic, outdoorsy, traditional
or dramatic, for example. The
florist can match the arrangement with the personalityand the recipient will really
respond to the gift.
• If the flowers are for interiors or entertaining, de-
scribe where the arrangement
will be placed. An arrangement for a mantel will be different from a centerpiece.
Consider giving the florist
your own vase or container.

specific colors or color
themes: pastels, bright and

Deadline for closure
plan just a week away
•
Commission hasn't seen it yet
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
•
With the deadline only a week
away for the flling of a closure plan
for the Garth landfill, the floyd
County Solid Waste Board has yet
to see the plan from its engineers,
Kenvirons.
At a meeting of the Floyd
County Solid Waste Board Monday
night, board members expressed
concern that the engineering firm
had not submitted a plan to them .
An agreed order signed by
Floyd County Solid Waste and the
Floyd County Fiscal Court with the
state
Division
of
Waste
Management allowed the county to
file a closure plan for the landfill
within 30 days of the signing. That
puts the deadline at May 3, Bob
Meyer, Floyd County JudgeExecutive, explained Tuesday.
At Monday night's meeting,
board members agreed to contact
the engineering flfDl and ask that
the closure plan be submitted to
them for flling.
Mike Vance, director of Floyd
County Solid Waste, reminded
board members that it will be the
responsibility of the solid waste
office to maintain the landfill, even
though it is closed.
"We'll probably be spending
money on it from now on. It has to
be maintained. It is real hard to get
out of it once you get into it,"
Vance said.
In other business at the meeting,
Vivian Conn, a former employee of
the solid waste office, asked the
board to clear up a misunderstanding by the public that $2.5 million
was missing from the solid waste
office.
"Somebody on this board doesn't lrnow the difference between
bills not collected and money missing," Conn said. "The public thinks
we stole $2.5 million."
After reviewing a state audit
report, Darrell Patton, a member of
the waste board, had stated at the
board's March meeting that the
auditors "came short of saying it's
missing money."
Patton's statement was quoted in
The Floyd County Times by staff
(See Closure, page five)
floyd Countians will have to
wait a little longer to fmd out the
fate of an E-911 system in the
county.
At Friday's fiscal court meeting,
magistrates postponed the first
reading of an ordinance establishing the emergency service and
authorizing a monthly surcharge to
telephone customers.
In 1990, the court passed a resolution to establish the service and to
collect an 89-cent per month per
phone customer surcharge, but the
court failed to follow through by
adopting an ordinance.
The court's failure to adopt an
ordinance for the 911 service is the
subject of two civil lawsuits that
were filed in the past several
weeks.
Ten Floyd County taxpayers
filed a lawsuit in March seeking the
return of over $800,000 to phone
customers in 911 fees that have
been collected for the past five
years.
In April, County Attomey Jim
Hammond filed suit asking the
court to determine if magistrates
could adopt an ordinance retroactive to 1990.
At a hearing Friday afternoon in
Floyd Circuit Court regarding those
lawsuits, Judge Danny P. Caudill
postponed any rulings on the issues
until it is determined if he can preside over those cases.
Judge Caudill said Friday that
one of the attorneys had questioned
the propriety of his participation in
the case since he is a taxpayer and
he has telephone service.
Judge Caudill said Friday that
he had not researched the issue, but
all the attorneys involved in the
cases said Friday they felt it would
be proper for the judge to hear the
issues.
'
The judge allowed attorneys to
make their arguments in the case,
but Judge Caudill said he would not
rule on any issues until he is satisfied that it is appropriate for him to
do so.
Attorney Ned Pillersdorf, who
the fiscal court has retained as independent counsel, asked that
Hammond's suit against the court
be dismissed saying it is using the
judicial system as a political arena.
"The county attorney is asking
the court for an advisory opinion to

Trash from othe r Kentucky
counties could be flowing into
floyd County in two weeks, David
Cooley, an employee with the
county's garbage collection agency,
predicted Monday night.
Cooley, an employee of
Rumpke, told members of the
Floyd County Solid Waste Board at
its meeting Monday night at
Wayland tflat the transfer facility
could be ready in about two weeks,
"if the weather holds up."
A new building has been con-
structed on the ground, slabs have
been moved in for the concrete
work, and improvements on a road
to the facility is 80 percent complete, Cooley said.
Cooley announced that Rumpke
was the winning bidder for trash
collection in Perry County and
Pikeville.
Solid Waste board member
Darrell Patton questioned Cooley
about the use of the facility by
Perry County because that county
had its own transfer station.
Perry County's transfer station
will not affect Floyd County, Jim
Hammond, Floyd County Attorney,
told board members. Hammond
said Rumpke's owner, Tom
Rumpke, had informed him that
Rumpke wanted to offer collectors
in Knott County the opportunity to
bring their waste to floyd County
for transfer to a landflll.
Also during his update regarding Rumpke, Cooley asked the
board tor action on $2,200 in delinquent accounts he had presented to
the solid waste office three weeks
ago.
"The transfer station is costing
us an arm and a leg," he said.

One killed, two injured in collision
An unidentified man was killed Tuesday afternoon when the vehicle he was operating collided with a coal on
U.S. 23 near the mouth of Town Branch. An unidentified woman and the driver of the coal truck were taken to
Highlands Regional Medical Center. A young female in the vehicle was apparently uninjured. Responding to
the scene were members of the Prestonsburg fire and police departments; the Floyd County Emergency and
Rescue Squad; P & B and Respond Ambulance services; the Floyd County Sheriff's Department and the
Kentucky State Police. Details of the accident were unavailable at presstime. (photo by Susan Allen)
floyd County's Fiscal Court put
on hold Friday a plan to build a
multi-million dollar justice center
until it is determined if the project
is financially feasible. The decision
to del ay was due, in part, to a $3
million increase in estimated building costs.
floyd Judge-Executive Bob
Meyer explained to magistrates that
the cost to build the facility had
risen from $85 to $120 per squarefoot during the two years the project has been in the works.
"One concern is with the net
cost to the county if we go ahead
and finance the facility," Meyer
said. "We are looking at anywhere
from $100,000 per year to
$200,000 per year in costs to the
county. It's an ambitious project. If
the county can see a way to do it, it
makes sense. I think the county
needs to exercise some fiscal
restraint until we can determine if
we can afford it"
The court had been pursuing the
construction of a four-story office
complex to be built on the site of
Prestonsburg's municipal parking
lot. which the county expected to
purchase for $350,000.
The original plan for the new
facility, which would be paid for in
part by the state's Administrative
Office of the Courts, would house
two district and circuit courtrooms
and other AOC offices; a parking
garage; a floor to relocate county

When the project was publicly
pitched to the court, the estimated
cost was just over $14 million, but
an increase in the square footage
costs bas upped the price tag to over
$17 million. The proposed project
discussed Friday does not include a
floor of office suites to relocate
county offices.
Magistrate Jackie Edford Owens
said he felt all along that the project
was too costly for the county.
Owens added that he has voted
against the project since the start
Magistrates agreed to halt any
future action on acquiring the
municipal parking lot; designing or
financing the project "until such
time as the project scope can be
modified and/or additional revenues can be identified to the extent
that the project, upon completion,
will not create an unreasonable
financial burden" on the county.
Meyer will continue to work
with the state's Administrative
Office of the Courts, the project
architect and local and state officials to determine if building a new
judicial facility is viable.

races, Babbage explained.
The laws allow persons to vote for
the candidate of their choice in the
general election in Novemberregardless of their party afflliation.

this year have indicated no political
party preference or have chosen to

Request birth certificates now
for school pre-registrations
Kentuckians who need birth certificates for school pre-registration
and summer activities should order
them now to avoid the usual spring
back-log in filling certificate requests.
Birth certificates are required for
pre-registering for kindergarten and
ftrst grade, for signing up for some
summer athletic leagues and tournaments and for obtaining a passport.
Barbara White, vital statistics registrar in the Department for Health
Services, says that in the spring the
usual two- to three-week turnaround
for ordering certificates by mail be•
comes three to four weeks.
"Birth certificates are needed yearround for certain activities, but there's
always a bigger demand this time of
year because of upcoming summer
activities and travel," White said.
"So it's a good idea to get requests
in now instead of waiting until the
last minute."
Besides summer activities, birth
certificates are required for getting a
driving pennit and a Social Security
card, obtaining some types of employment, preparing for retirement
and enrolling in some pension plans.
"It's a good idea to have a copy of
•
your birth certificate on hand so that
you don't have towaitforitwhen it's
needed," she said.
The Department for Health Services files birth certificates only for
people born in Kentucky. People who
live in Kentucky but were born in
another state should contact the vital
statistics registrar in that state for
their birth certificates.
Certificates cost $7 each. To get a
certified copy of a birth certificate,
complete and mail an order fonn
(available at health departments) or
write to the Vital Statistics Office,
Cabinet for Human Resources, 275
~ E. Main St, Frankfort, KY 406210001. Include a check or money order for each copy ordered.

ALLAN S. PERRY Ill-Publisher-Editor
Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
Beyond Oklahoma City
Like millions around the country, I
watched the scene from Oklahoma City,
The caved-in Federal Building-rescue
workers carrying the bodies of children,
alive and dead, from the wreckage-grisly pictures all. In the days that followed,
there's been much talk about fertilizer and
diesel fuel, about justice, and about a
nation at mourning. However, there's an
aspect of this tragedy that's going unnoticed by many-an aspect even more
troubling than the bombing itself.
The night of the bombing, Oklahoma
City was on everyone's lips. Everyone
was stunned by the suddenness and ferocity of the act, and everyone seemed to
have an explanation. Terrorists, of course,
trying to get back at the U.S. Government
for some reason or other. "We should be
carpet-bombing Syria and Iraq," one person suggested. Another added that we
shoulo "deport all the damn Arabs." On
his daily radio show, G. Gordon Liddy
said that after the perpetrators of the act
are caught, that those responsible "and
their whole people, should be taught a lesson.
A day later, the newspaper here ran a
headline that read "Two White Men taken
into custody in Oklahoma Bombing," as
if it were a shock that Americans could
perform violence of this scale on themselves. From most reports, these two men
had no ties to terrorists in the middle east,
but rather were angry with our own government, our own system. We want to
point fingers at others for this disaster, but
we end up staring in the mirror once
more.
We are quick to seek blood for the
needlessly lost that we may lose our own
humanity and judgment. For an enlight·
ened country like the United States, this
notion is truly frightening. Beneath the
rubble in Oklahoma City and the discussion in the days following, there was
uncovered a deep fear and loathing of that
which is different and of those who are
different-a prejudice that we're supposed to be working to remove from our
society. In cases like this, the old colors

by Michael J. Rosenberg
Letters to the editor
come shining through all too well.
I don't generally give a lot of credence
to someone like Mr. Liddy, but in this
case, I feel his words were all too close to
the mark. The "whole people" of those
who committed this atrocity should learn
a lesson. In the day and age of the soundbite and the media clip, we are much too
quick to pass summary judgment and fall
back on our own prejudices-that the
only person who would commit such an
act would come from outside-that a
whole race should be held accountable for
an act unproven, and later unfounded.
I suppose we should have seen this
coming. The fringes of militancy are
becoming all the more apparent in our
everyday lives. Any group of people can
get their guns, call themselves a "militia,"
and exclusively wrap themselves in a
banner that's supposed to include everyone. These folks prepare themselves for
some great upcoming battle against the
government and the "unsavory elements"
in society-which simply means people
not like us.
The President himself has had
attempts on his life-a gunman and a
rogue pilot-and few expressed real outrage. A couple of people I spoke to even
considered these people to be "true patri·
ots" for going after President Clinton.
Words like this about a chief executive
would have been unthinkable a few years
ago, regardless of an individual's political
leanings. Now, they're almost in vogue.
Acts of terror and violence always spiral
as the level of horror required for us to be
shocked increases. Oklahoma City should
be a wake-up call.
An act like this deserves retribution,
but we should not sacrifice our own sensibilities and tolerances in the name of
justice. If there is reflection on ourselves
and our beliefs after something so horrible-if we can reexamine our own views
of ourselves and others, then perhaps the
children of Oklahoma City did not die in
vain.

native and fanner employee of the Floyd

Child abuse prevention
objective of task force
Editor:
April is designated as National
Child Abuse Preventio:t Month. It is
that one month out of each year that
we focus on child abuse, which is a
major social and legal problem in our
state. During 1994, there were over
59,000 cases of child abuse reported
in Kentucky. This is more than an 80
percent increase from those reported
10 years ago in 1984.
There are many professionals in
our communities who are working to
help prevent the devastation of
abused, exploited and missing children. I ask that your readers support
this effort in their own community by
joining as a volunteer with local organizations whose cause is to help
prevent child abuse.
Everyone can help as well by re-
porting any suspected cases of child
abuse to the local Department for
Social Services or call the Kentucky
State Police hotline at 1-800-2225555 or the Kentucky Multi-County
Task Forces on Child Abuse at 1800-468-8920.

Little Dove Church
plans dedication
of new building
Editor:
WethemembersoftheLittleDove
Church of Jesus Christ of Regular·
Baptists at Honaker, want to thank
everyone who helped in any way to
make our goal come true.
The Little Dove Church was established May 1910, and never had
much repairs done oo it. At our September 24, 1994, meeting, the subject came up to do some work on the
church to put on a new roof and work
on a hmchroom.
When we started taking off the
roof, we ran into a problem. The
church was in bad shape so the more
we worked, the more we found. At
last, we started the job of building a
new church. As the Bible said,
"Solomon was building the house of
God." We asked for help of our Lord
and SaviorJesus Christ and our brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors
to help us.
On January 14, 1995, we had our
flrst church service and we want to
thank God and our Lord and the good
people who gave of time and money
to he1p make this come true. We want
to thank our mother church, the New
Salem, who opened her doors so we
could have our monthly meetings.
We, the Little Dove members,
know we are in debt in the thousands
of dollars, but by the help of God and
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
and our brothers and sisters and
friends and neighbors, we will pay
off this debt before the deadline date.
Before I go on, we want to give a
special thank-you to Robert Yates,
who started at day one and stayed
with us 29 days until it was ready to
rebuild.
Now, starting with the dedication,

City, where a bomb ripped through
a federal building, killing dozens of
innocent men, women and children.
First, the act itself was too heinous to imagine. The cold-blooded
slaughter of people for the sake of
making a political point is something you might expect in countries
tom by war, but this is America, not
Beirut.
The second, and perhaps most
disturbing jolt of incredulity, is the
news that the bombing apparently
was carried out by Americans, not
the fanatical bands of religious terrorists we generally associate with
this kind of barbarism.
The bombers, it seems, were
angry about the government infringiflg on individual rights, so they
vaporized the individual rights of
dozens of their countrymen in protest.
What tragic irony.

Many students at McDowell
would like to be in the band but
cannot afford to buy or rent a new
instrument and good used instruments
are hard to find.
Ifyou can help with an instrument
donation or, if you know someone
that might want to donate an instrument, please contact me as soon as
possible, at the school: McDowell

Thank you for your support!
The First Amendment gives us
the right to petition government for
a redress of grievances, but these
homegrown terrorists chose to express their grievances by inflicting
grievous injury on babies.
They've won nothing but eternal
damnation for their acts.
Whether the irrational fears of
government that appear to have
prompted the Oklahoma bombing
are rooted in real or imagined facts,
there is and always has been a
non-violent means of policing political policy.
It's called the two-party system.
Whatever side of the ballot you're
on, you should realize that checks
and balances are important elements in the formula for democracy.
After all, absolute power corrupts.
Corrupt power abuses.
And the abused often become
abusers themselves.
Shared po~er, though, generally
leads to compromise and peaceful
settlement of differences.
Debate is the antidote to despotism.
Government by consent of the
governed is ultimately more effective than government despite the
contempt of the governed.
And, as we all have been taught
through the years, two heads are
better than one, especially if yours
can keep the other guy from losing
his.
From the sounds ofgunfireechoing through the hills last weekend,
it's obvious that quite a few wild
turkeys (the feathered kind, of
course) were falling victim to the
new hunting season in Kentucky.
T~rkeys may be ugly creatures,
but they're pretty intelligent as fowl
go.
We saw one, in fact, that may
have been too smart for its own
good.

sides, this feathered fellow made a
dash for safety, seeking refuge in
the middle of a fairway at the
Paintsville Country Club.
As anyone who plays weekend
golf knows, the middle of a golf
course on Saturday is no place fit
for man or beast.
As the golf balls rained down on
him, this bird wised up and retreated to the hills, apparently more
inclined to take his chances with
the hunters.
Smart move.
Golfers, after all, take any chance
to get a birdie mighty seriously.
The Kentucky Education Association, which represents the interests of school teachers across the
state, has expressed opposition to
the state PTA's proposal to expand parental representation on
school site-based councils.
The KEA argues that since teachers are ultimately accountable for
student results, earning rewards or
by Scott Perry
facing penalties fortheirclassroom
abilities, then teachers ought to
have more say than parents on
how schools are managed.
That line of reasoning may be
perfectly reasonable in relation to
the rewards or penalties teachers
may earn for their prowess, but it
isn't much of an argument when
you consider just who has the most
at stake in the process of education.
Parents fund that process, supply it with students, and their involvement is, perhaps, the most
critical element for determining
whether their children will succeed
or fail.
That is a monumental responsibility that merits nothing less than
equal representation on school
councils.
The KEA would be much better
served by throwing out the wei·
come mat for parents.
Doing that can only reinforce the
drive toward excellence.

Fiscal court will take another
look at enacting 911 ordinance
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
Floyd County magistrates will
meetat9 a.m. today (Wednesday) in
an effort to iron out language in a
proposed ordinance to authorize an
E-911 service for the county.
A special meeting of the court was
called at Friday' s fiscal court meeting when Magistrate Jackie Edford
Owens and County Attorney Jim
Hammond couldn't agree with language in an ordinance proposed by
Judge-Executive Bob Meyer.
Owens and Hammond said Friday
that it was not clear if the court would
have the ultimate say in decisions
affecting the operation of the service
or what group would make personnel
hirings.
Meyer explained that the ordinance called for the formation of an
E-911 board and an advisory board,
but lhal all decisions affecting the
service would be made by the court.
Magistrates are scrambling to
adopt an ordinance authori zing the
establishment of an E-911 service
and monthly surcharge for phone
customers because the fiscal cou!t
failed to do so when it began collecting the special tax five years ago.
Hammond also questioned U1e
composition of the board, which does
not include city officials from the
towns of Allen, Martin, Wayland and
Wheelwright.
Meyer said that membership to
the board was limited to seven persons in order to keep it manageable
and to prevent difficulties in having a
quorum present for meetings.
Meyer and Hammond had a somewhat heated exchange on the issue,
with Meyer telling the county attorney he couldhavediscussedany problems concerning the ordinance prior
to the Friday's meeting.
"You had this several days ago,
Jim," Meyer said.
Hammond said that he had not had
time to review the document and said
the language in the ordinance was
"ambiguous" at best
Owens suggested that Meyer and :
Hammond go over the document prior
to the Wednesday court meeting.
Meyer reminded Owens that
Hammond had sued the fiscal court
because an ordinance had not been
passed in 1990 and suggested the
c )Urt not seek advice from the county
attorney until the issue has been resolved.
Hammond said that if the court
adopted the ordinance it would be an
admission that no ordinance was
passed in 1990.
''I'm not sure I understand your
logic," Meyer told Hammond. "It's
obvious from going through the
records and it's everybody's understanding that no ordinance was
passed. That's the reason I put it on
the table with all intentions of getting
a 911 system in place."
Hammond said it was his position
that the court could not adopt the
ordinance and make it retroactive to
1990.
Meyer cut the discussion with the
county attorney short and set a special meeting for 9 a.m. today.
In other action Friday, at the
prompting of an audience member,
the court questioned a$50,000 change
order relating to the construction of
the new jail.
A representative from the architectural firm of Chrisman, Miller and
Woodford explained that steel supports for the facility had to be dug
deeper because engineering studies
did not show a dramatic drop in the
rock and coal scam at the site.
Magistrate Gerald DeRossett
asked why the court should have to
pay the extra costs because the engineering firm, Law Engineering, falled
to discover the problem.
Meyer asked why the issue was
not addressed in the original geotechnical study on the site.
Former magistrate Tommy Neil
Adams and retired attorney Gary
Johnson suggested that the engineering firm may have been negligent
and recommended the court taking
legal action against the company.
"Why should l11e fiscal court and
U1e taxpayers take the cost when we
paid thousands of dollars to have it
laid out?" Adams asked.
"Sounds like negligence to me,"
Johnson joined in. "Why do we have
to eat the cost? If you said that to me
in my private business, I'd say eat
this lawsuit. Perhaps we ought to find
out what the general law says about
that. The issue ought to be explored."
Meyer said the problem had put
the court in a guessing game as to
planning for the supports and he suggested the court deny payment for
that change order until the issue is
reviewed.
The court agreed.
in other action Friday:
• the court passed a resolution for
a cost estimate to renovate the entire
courthouse annex into a juvenile detention center because of the high
demand for additional juvenile bed
space and because the facility is not
in compliance with slate guidelines;
• the court named Mike Jarrell as
the county road supervisorand set his
salary at $24,000 per year; and
• the court also approved a payment schedule for three new pickup
trucks and held second reading on a
$150,000 Local Government Economic Development grant ordinance.

Council okays funds for seniors
by Scott Perry
Times Editor
Prestonsburg City Council's decision last month to take its show on the
road took on added significance Monday evening when council met at the
Prestonsburg Senior Citizen's Center
at Archer Park.
Suit
Council members were treated to a
reception by center employees and
members priorto the start of the regular meeting, learning flfSthand of financial difficulties plaguing operation of the facility and its programs.
Council responded to those concerns by authorizing an emergency

Bartley, alleges.
The families are seeking compensation for the children's injuries;
medical expenses; permanent
impairment to their abilities to earn
money; attorney fees; and a trial by
jury.
On October 20, 1994, a school
bus with children on board collided
with Arnold's vehicJe on Meade
Hill, between McDowell and
Wheelwright
Police said at the time of the
accident that Arnold bad lost control of his vehicle in the steep curve
on top of Meade Hill and crashed
into the front of the school bus.
Arnold's pickup truck bounced off
the bus and hit another DES vehicle
that was following it.
It was later revealed that there
were alcoholic beverages in the
state-owned vehicle, but blood tests
showed that Arnold had no alcohol
in his blood stream.
A DES spokesman said at the
time that the alcoholic beverages
were only being transported in the
vehicle and that there was no written policy prohibiting DES employees from having alcohol in their
vehicles.
There were 12 children on the
bus at the time of the accident and
there were no reports of serious
injuries, but two students were
admitted to the McDowell
Appalachian Regional Hospital for
observation with minor abrasions
and contusions.
Lifeline emergency medical
technical Diane Burke said in
October that she transported Arnold
to the hospital.
"He said he wa..c: not going very
fast and then he slid," Burke said
last October. "He said he knew he
hit something, but he didn't know
what. He complained that his left
hand hurt and said it was probably
from where he gripped the steering
wheel."
In the vehicle with Arnold was told school officials that when the

Transfer ----The board passed a motion that
will allow the Floyd County Solid
Waste office to send a letter to nonpayers of Rumpke accounts notifying them that their nine-month delinquency had been reported to the
solid waste office. If the office does
not receive any contact from them
within 10 days, the names will be
submitted to legal authorities to
enforce collection.
Floyd County Solid Waste director Mike Vance said he bad compared Rumpke's list of delinquent
accounts to those in the Floyd
County Solid Waste System's computer, and had come up with 29
matching names. Vance said he felt
these were the "worst offenders."
"You have people lay awake all
night to figure out how to beat you
out of a dollar," Lowell Sammons, a
board member, said.
Vance explained that some of the
offenders had signed agreements
with the county solid waste system
to keep up payments on their delinquent accounts, but they bad
stopped paying.
He urged the board to allow him
to telephone those individuals and
notify them that they bad 30 days to
catch up on their late payments and
Conflict-----resolve a political question,"
Pillersdorf said. "The court should
be careful not to delve into a political question. This case is politics. It
is mainly an effort to shift the blame
(from the county attorney)."
Hammond told the judge that be

"I feel comfortable knowing I'm
not in agreement with Mr.
Pillersdorf," Hammond said. "KRS

funding allocation of $5,000 to offset
what center director Patsy Evans said
were unexpected expenses.
Evans' said repairs to the center's
van and other unanticipated expenses
had put the facility's future in jeopardy, and staff members and senior
citizens acknowledged the council's
Hammond added that he wanted
the court to determine if the flSCal
court could adopt an ordinance and
make it retroactive to 1990.
Attorney TlDl Parker, one of the
attorneys who flied suit on behalf of
the taxpayers, asked the court to
bold Hammond's lawsuit in
abeyance because Hammond could
be a potential wimess in the case.
"If this case is not resolved and
the concerns get into the issue of
substantial compliance...(the question will be) what advice was given
and who gave that advice," Parker
said. "A potential witness is Mr.
Hammond. I have concerns that an
(Continued from page one)
attorney involved is likely to be
called as a wibless."
Attorney Cliff Latta, who represents Harold Telephone Company,
suggested that an ordinance be
adopted ''nunc pro tunc." The legal
term nunc pro tunc means "now for
then; permits action to be taken
after the point when it should have
been performed, giving the action
retroactive effect."
Parker told the judge that Latta
made "an excellent suggestion" and
his clients would be willing to
accept that as a resolution of the
issue.
"We have no complaints if we
get a 911 service and the court has
their bouse in order," Parker said.
"We ftled because nothing had been
done in forever."
Attorney John Coleman, who is
co-counsel with Parker, agreed with
Parker's assessment.
Judge Caudill said be would
notify all parties involved in the
case when a bearing would be set.
(Continued from page one)
to continue the agreement
He also asked that he be allowed
to send letters to other non-payers
who had signed agreements stating
that they pay in full or sign a payment agreement If these individuals did not comply, then legal action
would be taken, Vance said.
Patton asked the board to reconsider an amnesty program he had
mentioned at previous board meetings. Patton said an advantage of an
amnesty program would allow people to get back into the collection
system.
Vance did not recommend an
amnesty program, saying: "My idea
of an amnesty program is they've
had a long time to pay up- now's
the time to do it."
"I've looked at these one by one.
I don't think an amnesty program
will have an impact (We need to)
take the strong arm approach.
There's more than $1 million out
there legitimately owed," Vance
said.
Board member David Layne said
the city of Prestonsburg took a
direct approach to those who had
not paid their garbage collection
bills.
"In Prestonsburg, you pay your
bills or they cut your water off,"
Layne said.
Board members passed a motion
granting Vance's request to proceed
with collection action.
Brush fire
near Dewey
destroys car
A small brush frre near Dewey
Lake on Wednesday, April19, began
from a car flre, Auxier Fire Department officials said.
A car owned by Andrew Brown
caught flre about 9 p.m. when he
apparently attempted to flip a cigarette out the window, said Assistant
Fire Chief Harley Sturgill.
The car was parked on lake road
and by the time frrefighters arrived
the car was engulfed in flames and
the frre had spread to a hill, Sturgill
said.
Sturgill said Auxier responded to
the fire because the forestry department was unable to.
No one was injured and no other
homes or vehicles were in danger.

Mayor Jerry Fannin said the funds
would be transferred from the city's
administrative budget.
With council traveling out of city
hall for a meeting for the first time
under Mayor Fannin's plan to take
government to the people, itmay have
been no coincidence that issues involving travel dominated the session
Monday.
Attracting travelers through tourism drew top billing on council's
agenda in a report from tourism commission member Gene Luka, who
outlined a regional effortto boost that
industry in Prestonsburg and throughout the Big Sandy area.
Luka told council that the commission, in cooperation with similar
groups in Paintsville and Pikeville
that have united to fonn the Tri-Mountain Tourism Association, had developed new marketing strategies to promote the region to tourists and tour
group operators. The marketing effort includes a newsletter, regional
brochure, and participation in travel
shows.
Mayor Fannin capped off the discussion by issuing a proclamation
declaring the week of May 7 as Tourism Week in Prestonsburg.
Also related to travel, council took
the frrst step Monday toward making
the rides through Prestonsburg less
bumpy, receiving bids for blacktop

board; Boyd Thompson, Gene Luka,
and Mark Miller to the tourism commission; Paul Nunn to the housing
commission; and Bea Nunnery to the
park commission;

Rospopo on a project to control erosion along Middle Creek at Archer

Committee to advise council on developmentoftheMountain Arts Center and adjacent property.
The resolution also authorized the
employment of Edward "Ted" Nairn
as an independent consultant to the
advisory committee at a salary of
$175 per week for a period of one
year. The advisory committee will
include Paul Phillip Hughes, Fannin,

changes that the local radio station is
still running last year's weather forecasts. Some folk bate any change that
doesn't '1ingle" in their pocket. Seriously, the only way in this world, you
can change this world, is by changing
the people who live is this world!
People must sense their need of
change! They must seek change! They
must be willing to receive change!
I am not referring to the change
that is like a "fad." This is simply a
fleeting whim that usually lasts only
for a brief period, and is seldom life
altering. I must say, however, some
of the dress "fads" can be so ridiculous, I am thrilled when they leave
the public scene and drift back into
oblivion. I am referring to change
that bas it's root system in life-altering differences. Differences that make
a difference! Changing from cursing
to blessing. Changing from procrastinatioo to doing things when they
should be done. Changing from estrangement to reconciliation. Changing from sin and disobedience to salvation and obedience unto God!
Change from being sin-driven to
Christian aspirations. I am describing a change so significant even the
next door neighbor will take note;
even the children will be asking questions; even the family pet will be
pleasantly pleased. I am advocating ,
change so drastic that others will be
asking "what must I do be saved."
Jesus himself taught change. He
taught change in virtually every aspect of everyday living. He taught an
economics of generosity which
sharply contrasts with our economics
of acquisition. Jesus challenged accepted political practice by declaring
those who wish to lead should first of
all serve. Not even family values
were safe from His radical rethink.
He described family relationships
based on common interest in Kingdom causes rather than on blood ties!
STRANGE.
Do you need change? Do you desire change? Are you willing to submit to a legitimate change? Christ
alone can service your life with
change that will dwarf all other
changes your life will ever experience. Change you will never be sorry
making. Change that will be the apex
of your life, even if you live to a ripe
old age! YES! God's people MUST
declare, preach, and herald forth again
the unsearchable riches of the blessed
Word of God if our society is ever to
see the change necessary to survive
and make an impact going into the
21st century! WHAT DOES A
PROPHET SOUND LIKE?

old Brackett Field that has
seen better days.
Charlie Williams, president of the Wheelwright
Little League, says that the
Wheelwright Little League
has no place to practice or
play their season games because the South Aoyd girls'
softball team has taken over
Brackett Field.
"That's the only field we
have and it is used by the
girls' softball team and the
Babe Ruth team," said Williams. "We have nothing for
our Little League teams."
Williams said that a place
near the prison had been
cleared off in hopes of putting in a field for the Little
League, but that work hasn't
been going on lately.
"Our magistrate had been
working on it," he said. "But
the county and city were
suppose to fix us a place to
play. Now the work has
stopped and the county and
city are blaming one another.
"We need a Little League
park. We have turned this
program around and now
every team has their own
equipment and we have four
teams, but no place for us to
practice."

the county's first soccer league.
Hagan brings his soccer experience to the county from his home-
town of Jamestown, North Dakota.
He is currently working with kids at
the Martin Youth Center, part of the
Christian Appalachian Project.
Hagan, who played in Annie, was
approached by several of the center's
kids, who expressed an interest in the
game of soccer.
"I thought, 'Gee, that's an area
that I am experienced in'," said
Hagan. "I really enjoy working with
kids and I though it would be a great
thing to do."
So with the idea ftrmly settled,

"Truculent" Cosell set a thinking man's standard; UK gets 'Electric Man' Mercer
One in my profession cannot let
this week pass without a genuflect at
the Howard Cosell shrine. Shrine?
His legacy is for those of you who
tuned him in and we who make a
living saying what we believe to be
the way it is, laying out what we think
for provocative examination, criticism.
Howard did it with grating courage and gasoline. He fortified his
place in television popularity polls.
Fans hated him and expressed it in
such numbers why they wanted him
fired. Roone Arledge and ABC executives winked at one another and
chuckled all the way to the bank. And
other networks went scrambling to
find a clone. Among others, the
searchers brought back Dick Vitale,
Bud Collins, Chris Berman and Tim
McCarver. Pipsqueaks all in
Howard's wake.
Almost as entertaining as watching Muhammad Ali goad fans with
wild-eyed "I am the greatest," I loved
watching Cosell be outrageous,
pompous, crass, sarcastic and dead
right, tweaking the heads of owners,
athletes, sports writers.
Boxing was shameful and ought
to be banned, he said. Professional
football and baseball had lost touch
with fans, he said. NCAA's college
athletic programs were corrupt, he
told us. And, the print media, was/is
pocked with conceit, hypocrisy, cutietypes who are skilled in words but
benton pleasing themselves and each
other more than reader:;.
Howard was right, and right, and
rightEvenwhenhewaswrongpeople
watched, listened anyway, then
clogged ABC phone lines demanding he be fired.
Cosell's "tell it like it is" became
trite over time and over use, but it's
core meaning stayed on like a blU11ing candle. At least it did for me. The
best of what Cosell brought and left
was this: Here I am and l have an
opinion. Agree with me or not, like
me or not, if I make you think, then I
served a worthy purpose.
Simple really.
Too bad Cosellleft ABC-Televi-
sion an embittered and tortured soul.
He wail ted to be loved, knew he was
not, and was forced to concede (to
himself) in the end that he bad been a
prostitute for ABC Sports just as
Gifford, Meredith, Al Michaels and
all the others have been. It's business.
ln the end, without his beloved
wife Emma, Cosell became prisoner
to, then was consumed by -- not so
much cancer-- as his gargantuan ego,
swollen and infected sense of importance and loss of center stage.
He wanted a knighthood, a Congressional medal, to be lionized for
bravery because be bad the brass to
tell the truth, even while others preferred Meredith turning 'The party's
over.. .',orGiffordparroting 'You're
absolutely right, Dandy." He could
not fathom that embracing the truth is
its own reward.
Finally, the truculent (one of his
favorites) Cosell bad to settle for a
lesser pedestal, he felt, than no pedestal. Ironically enough, it seems to
me, in the end, in his departure, Cosell
ascends to a higher place. Because
his candor set a standard. With it he
made us think. What else is there?
Thank you, Howard.
sistency.
But UK fans ought to be realistic,
unless the NBA sets .a salary cap and
perhaps even if it does, Mercer probably will stay at Kentucky no longer
than Chapman did (two seasons).
TheMercerrecruitingprocesshad
gotten comic with radio talk show
frenzy and the annual spring guessing games. Guru Bob Gibbons had
him beaded to Tennessee, but redfaced, bad to retreat, then scramble to
save face.
Even after Mercer committed to
Kentucky, Gibbons, America's most
celebrated recruiting huckster came
near abandoning pretense of objec-
tivity in a year-long effort to steer
Mercer to Kevin O'Neil.
"It's a tough loss for Kevin O'Neil,
but he'll still get it done at Tennessee," Gibbons whined. "Mercer's
coach Steve Smith bad for a long
time advised him to sign with Kentucky."
Gibbons then told America that
Kentucky would rank number 2 in
this year's recruiting harvest behind
Michigan. Big deal. Never mind the
Wolverines have lost sophomore
Bobby Crawford to transferandfreshmanJerod Ward may be on his way to
Ole Miss. UK recruited both.
PITINO MERCER WATCH
• Recognizing this young man is
electric and will be every bit the media lighming rod to UK that Jerry
Stackhouse bas been to Carolina, Rick
Pitino will handle Mercer with kid
gloves. And, having learned lessons
from overhyping Rod Rhodes, will
go easy on the great, super and cosmic epithets.
• Taking a good idea from John
Thompson and Allan Iverson, Da
Coach might even consider a quarantine for Mercer away from the media
for a semester.
UK Junior Varsity
Pitino's junior varsity idea, if it
comes to fruition, is excellent for (at
least) these reasons:
• Players get more of an opportunity to hone game skills on the edge
of college hoops' limelight, away
from the likes of Dickie V or Digger.
• Will allow student/athletes attend to academic business at a lesser
level of distraction.
• Each can still enjoy a taste of big
time hoops glamour and fan love.
• A fledgling assistant coach, in
this case Pitino says Winston Bennett,
gets the experience of game situations' work when a jayvee-varsity _.
double-dip is scheduled.
• Last, but almost equally important, UKfansgetadouble-doseofthe

almost Certainly Ron Mercer is a

called their own since Rex Chapman

..We will schedule our games
around Little League baseball softball," he said. "That way the kids
don't have to make a choice and can
do both. We just want to teach the
kids," I
A soccer team has 10 players and
a goalie, but those interested in playing should not be dismayed because
they don't understand the game.
"We will hold a rules clinic in
May for parents, player& and
coaches," said Hagan. "Then by the
end of summer we hope to hold a
tournament involving teams .from
Pikeville, Paintsville and other ar-
eas."
Hagan said that the number of
teams fielded in the new league will
depend· on the number of coaches
that are secured.
"We want all the parents and those
interested in coaching to come to the
signup dates we have set." he said.
''We will need coaches. We are hoping that parents will become involved
in the new league."
So if you are an interested player,
parent or futnre coach, then mark the
upcoming registration dates on your

CHILDREN FROM VIOLENCE.

games, but moved to South
Floyd this year.
"They didn't want them
down at Minnie," said Williams. "It will be impossible for our Little League
program to survive if we
don't get a field to play on.
"I don't see why South
Floyd doesn't use the
Minnie field. There is only
one team using that diamond and that is the Drift
Little League team. There
are three using the field here
in Wheelwright."
Williams said that it takes
a lot of money to operate a
league with the cost of entry fees, uniforms and
equipment
"We can't afford to build
a field. If we had the necessary equipment, maybe we
could. We need a backstop
up there on the hill, as well
as dugouts.
"If we had the blocks we
could build the dugouts
ourscl ves."
Williams said that the
City of Wheelwright could
get a grant to build the park.
"They just need to get up
and do something," he said.
"My understanding is that
they have graded it, but
that's all. They moved some
trash off the site. It's a bad
situation that's going nowhere."
Williams said that people
were ready and willing to
donate their time to the construction of the park.
"Randall Jackson, an engineer, said that he would
lay it out for us," stated
Williams. "He would donate his time. We could get
by this year with a nice backstop and, if the county or
city would give us the
blocks, we would build the
dugouts."
So the ongoing problem
ofthelackofbaseball fields
in Floyd County continues.
Our county and city leaders fail to realize that there
are in this county alone 72
youth baseball teams. Now
with the start of the girls'
softball youth league and
16-18-year-old senior
league, that number is going to grow.
Our county officials and
city leaders, as well as the
board of education, have
failed to recognize the tremendous need in our county
for our young people.
Last year Gary Frazier
offered to give a beautiful
piece of ground to build a
high school baseball field
on. The land, the work and
all that went with it, was to
be donated. All the school
board needed to do was
build the bleachers. But it
was voted down.
The school board should
see to it that every high
school has its own facility
(boys and girls), then this
would free up some of the
county parks for the youth
programs.
The county needs to take
a long hard look at what can
be done to build nice park
facilities for our kids.
Cities need to see what
part they can play in helping out. The Martin City
Council voted recently to
expand their park facilities.
That's great!
When our elected officials start showing that they
care about our kids, then it
will make campaigning
easier when it comes to reelection.
I will say this. Mr. Bob
Myers (acting CountyJudge Executive) has set
things in motion concerning the Allen Park.

Hatfield tosses 3-hitter
as Allen Central falls, 16-1
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Fortbe last two games, Allen Central has only been able to manage
four hits.
Three of those came against Pike
Central Saturday afternoon in tbe
Hillbilly Classic at Pikeville.
The Rebels seemed lifeless at the
plate against freshman right-hander
Kevin Hatfield. It wasn' tlike Hatfield
was throwing heat-he wasn't But
whatever he wanted to do against
Allen Central, he seemed to have his
way.
Hatfield allowed the Rebels just
one run on the three hits he gave up.
Some very poor base running by the
Rebels in the second took them out of
a potential scoring situation.
Hatfield struck out five batters
and walked two, but the impotent
bats of Allen Central could only hit
"at 'ems."
Pike Central led 3-0 after the first
inning when Hatfield set the Rebels
down in order. Mike Gillispie had a
two-out double that scored two runs.
An error at third base proved costly
as the third runs scored.
The Hawks took a 6-0 lead with
three in the top of the second. Pike
Central got three consecutive singles
against starter Matt Crawford with
one run scoring on Jason Anderson's
base hit.
A one-out single by Brian Mullins
scored a run and a run crossed home
plate when Evan Charles bounced
back to the mound. Jerry Thacker had
an RBI single.
In the Allen Central half of the
second, Hatfield walked Tod
Bingham and Donnie Combs consecutively. But Bingham, who strayed
off the bag too far, was picked off.
Three times Hatfield threw back to
second base and, on the third try,
nailed him.
Combs, with Brandon Hicks at
tbe plate, was caught stealing for the
second out as Hicks missed a sign.
Hicks then fanned to end the inning.
Allen Central got their first hit
when fleet-footed John Moore beat
out a bunt. He stole second, moved to
third on a wild pitch and scored the
only Rebel run on Crawford's RBI
single.
Hatfield kept the Rebel off stride
at the plate as his team plated three in
the fourth and seven in the seventh.
He allowed only two base runners
~ter the ~ird inning, a fourth-inning
mfield hit to Roy John Martin, and a
walk to Mike Pack in the sixth.
Brandon Hicks relieved Crawford
in the second inning and be got
Gillispie on strikes to end the threerun inning. Pike Central found Hicks
fast ball to their liking and collected
, #.
seven hits in scoring 10 runs against
him.
Pike Central stranded six base runners while Allen Central left two on .
base. The Rebels committed.five errors in the contest The Hawks collected 15 hits in scoring 16 times.
Allen Central (6-7) will visit Betsy
Layne tonight for a conference

Martin Cardinal catcherTim Davis
blasted two home runs and Jeremy
Hayes hurled a no-hitter as the Cardinals posted a 14-0 shutout of the
Garrett Pirates in the Beaver Creek
Little League tournament at Martin
Wednesday night.
Davis homered in the second and
third innings. His second inning blast
was a two-run shot and he had a tworun round tripper in the third.
Hayes blanked the Pirates by striking out eight batters. He walked one
batter and hit one. Hayes hit a home
run out of the park in the fourth inning.
Right fielder Chris Owens had an
inside-the-park home run in the fourth
inning for the Cards with two runners
on base. Dwight McKinney tripled in
the fourth.
Martin had 10 hits in the game
with four home runs. Hayes had two
hits as did Davis and Owens. Click
finished with two hits and stole four
bases. Davis finished with four RBis.
Hayes retired the first six bauers
he faced before hitting a batter to start
the third and issuing a walk. However, he faced the minumum number
of batters, 12, over the four innings
when Zabo was thrown out at home
and Fitzpatrick, who walked, was
caught stealing.
Hayes retired the last four batters
he faced.

Rebels swing weak
bats in 3-1 setback
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
..
Had it not been for John Moore's
bunt single in the bottom of the seventh inning, BreathittCounty's Doug
Moore would have been celebrating
a no-hitter against Allen Central last
Friday night in the flrst round of the
Hillbilly Classic at Pikeville.
Doug Moore had tamed the Rebels
on no hits through the first six innings
until he experienced some control
problems in the seventh.
Doug Moore issued consecutive
one-out walks to Donnie Combs and
Brandon Hicks before John Moore
laid down a perfect bunt up the third
base line. But he got Matt Crawford
to line hard to second base and struck
out Mike Baldridge to end the game.
Baldridge started for Allen Central and pitched well enough to win.
But the Rebels could not generate
any kind of offense with their bats
which have been quiet lately.
Moore retired the flrst six batters
he faced with Allen Central putting
two runners on base in the third. He
walked John Moore to start the third
and issued a two-out walk to Mike
Pack.
He retired the side in the Rebel
half of the fourth, but walked
Crawford with two out in the ftfth.
Moore struck out the side in the sixth
inning.
Breathitt County found Baldridge
a little stingy, especially after the flrst
inning when they pushed across a run
for a 1-0 game. Breathitt collected
three of their lOhits in the fust inning
with Calhoun scoring on Turner's
two-out single.
Allen tripled with one out in the
third inning for Breathitt County and
he scored on Turner's sacriflce fly to
right.
Breathitt County put runners on
base in every inning, but Baldridge
closed the door until the seventh.
Allen doubled with one out and scored
when Turner's single got past
centerflelder John Moore to give
Breathitt a 3-1 lead.
The Rebels then loaded the bases
with one out in the seventh, but failed
to score.
Baldridge allowed three runs on 10
hits. He struck out three and walked
two. Allen Central played errorless
baseball.
Moore surrendered one run on just
the one hit while fanning 13 batters
and walking flve.
The Rebels stranded flve runners
while Breathitt County left nine runners on base.

BffiD WATCHING BONANZA
If you've ever been to the Minor
Clark Fish Hatchery (MCFH) in
Morehead, you may have seen Pro-
fessor Fred Busroe and companions
staring intently through binoculars.
Prof. Busroe has been teaching at
Morehead State University for 27
years and in charge of the ornithology class since 1977. He can be found
on birding trips at MCFH one or two
times a week. Sometimes he has his
college class with him, sometimes
he's giving a group tour and sometimes be's just following his passion
alone.
B usroe has recorded over 225 species of birds at MCFII and about 2040 different species each trip. His
lists include such sights as the Black
Scoter, theWood Stork, and the Majestic Bald Eagle.
Bird watching is a great hobby for
littleornomoney. but you don'thave
to go looking for Bald Eagles to have
a good bird watching experience. You
can put up a bird house to attract
species to your own yard. You won't
even need binoculars!
of science education," Putz
added, "increasing student interest in science and providing
recognition for outstanding
achievement in science education
by both students and teachers. We
hope to achieve these goals
through participation in Science
Olympiad tournaments, classroom activities and summer training institutes for teachers. We
also hope that our efforts can
bring academic competition to
the same level of recognition and
praise normally reserved for athletic competitions in this country."
This is the first year Floyd
County students have participated
in the Science Olympiad. The
Floyd County Schools Talented
and Gifted program will pay the
state registration fee of $65 per
team. Science Olympiad participants on both the state and national levels will compete for over
$300,000 worth of college scholarships.
Floyd County teachers and
students who wish to register for
next year's Science Olympiad are
urged to contact Tammy Francis
at 886-2354, ext. #111.

While athletes wvrld-wide are
gearing up for the 1996 Olympic
summer games, several Floyd
County students are putting their
wills to the test in preparation for
an Olympiad of a different sort.
The 12th Annual Science
Olympiad state finals take place
in Louisville next Saturday, April
29, and several of Floyd
County's finest young minds will
be there to represent the region.
Students from Duff and
Maytown elementaries, Adams
Middle School and South Floyd
and Allen Central high schools
competed against teams from
around
the
region
at
Prestonsburg
Community
College last month to earn the
right to participate at the state
level.
Floyd County teams dominated the elementary school division, with Maytown students
Dustin Little and Derek
McGarey taking first place in the
Amphibians and Reptile contest.
In the "Egg Drop," Duff's Jesse
McKean and Ryan Owens took
top honors, while Adams Middle
School's Thomas Green and Joel
Castle captured f1rst in "Metric
Mastery."
Adams' Jamie Gullett and
Kim Partington also won first
place in "Nature Quest"; Duff's
Chris Case took first in "Out of
this World"; Adams' Joel Castle
won "Road Scholar"; Duff's
Chris Case and Ryan Owens won
"Rocks, Minerals and Fossils";
Adams' Jason Roberts won
"Tower Building"; Adams'
Thomas Greene and John Layne
won "Water Quality"; and Duff's
John Slone and Jesse McKean
took top honors in "What Are
You Telling Me?''
Floyd students also performed well in the high school
division, with Allen Central's
Jennifer Mullins and Donnie
Wallen capturing the gold in
"Circuit Lab," and South Floyd's
Brent Holbrook and Mike Akers
winning ftrst palce in "Physics
Lab."
In the past eleven years, the
Science Olympiad has received
national acclaim and recognition
from business, industry and
institutions of higher learning
for its creativity and contribution
to science education.
According to a press release
from
Science
Olympiad
President Gerard J. Putz, Ed.D.,
he and partner Jack Cairns created the event in 1983 to increase
interest in science as an alternative to traditional science fairs
and single-discipline tournaments.
"After
successful
trial
olympiads were held in
Michigan and Delaware, the
Science Olympiad began to
grow," Putz said. "Ten years
later, the Olympiad has members
in all 50 states, totaling more
than 12,000 actively participating K-12 schools.
"The Science Olympiad is
devoted to improving the quality
Over two hundred fifty of
Eastern Kentucky's best mathematics teachers convened at Jenny
Wiley State Park to participate in the
seventh annual spring conference
held by the Eastern Kentucky
Council of Teachers of Mathematics
(E.K.C.T.M.) on Thursday, April13.
1be theme of this year's conference
was "Closing the Gap: Curriculum,
Instruction, and Assessment" The
program provided valuable sessions
for each grade level.
P-5 teachers enjoyed sessions
presented by Lynda Cannon, PRISM
Instructional Technology Specialist,
and Debbie Head and Libby Pollett,
nationally acclaimed presenters and
authors of "Opening Eyes to
Mathematics." Earlier this month
Head-Pollett consultants presented
at the National Council of Teachers
of Mathematics National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts.
Presiders for these sessions were
Afo Jean Jacobs and Jan Melving,
Kentucky K-4 Math Specialists.
1be middle school teachers were
offered a two-hour session by Jan
Broyles, a former Oldham County
middle school mathematics teacher
who is now with the Kentucky
Department of Education. Mrs.
Boyles' session was entitled "Core
Concepts as They Relate to Everyday Life." Presiding in this session
was Jeff May, a teacher at Mullins
who is involved in Kentucky's
Middle School Math Network.
Ann Evans of Maysville, Tammy
Goble from Sheldon Clark, and
Mike Hughes from M.C. Napier
offered secondary teachers a handson training in "Making Connections
with the 11-82 Graphing Calculator
and Calculator Based Laboratory."
The presider for the 9-12 session
was Retha Hunt from Belfry. Evans,
Goble, and Hughes are all PRISM
(Partnership for Reform in Science and
Mathematics) Instructional Technology
Specialists. Texas Instruments donated
to the organization a 11-82 and CBL
unit. Amy Halbert, an Allen Central
mathematics teacher, won the units
later in the program.
The college teachers were given two
quality sessions. Dr. Roger Hammons,
Chairman of the Department of
Mathematics at Morehead State
University, presented, "Changes in
Mathematics Classes at MSU as a
Result of KERA and the Standards."
Dr. Jeff Laum, an Alice Lloyd College
science professor, presented, "Mathematics Across the Curriculum."
Professors Arif Azeem and Hailu
Bogale of Prestonsburg Community
Co11ege presided. Dwight Smith, Prestonsburg Community College mathematics instructor won a $100.00 gift
certificate for mathematics materials.
Several science, mathematics and
technology consultants from the

Drift Astros advance
in local tournament
with win over Martin
A Look at Sports
---(Continued from B 4)
• Look at the freshly
painted dugouts.
• The weeds have been
cut away from the backstops.
• Other improvements are
going on and others are
scheduled to be done when
the season is over.
All it takes is some politicians that say, "I care!"
I would like to see our
county officials say to the
good folks up Wheelwright,
"We'll fix that Little League

The Drift Astros scored a I2-2
mercy win over the Martin Marlins
and advanced on in the BeaverCreek
Little League Toumament being
played at Martin and Minnie.
The Astros scored nine runs in the
first inning and were never threatened in posting their second win of
the season.
Mike Colley and Robbie Stumbo
had big hits for the Astros and Joe
Skeens went the distance in picking
up the win.
Skeens, working four innings of
the mercy game, walked three batters
while striking out six. Jonathan Hall
suffered the setback for Martin.
"Everyone in our lineup had at
least one hit," saidAstrocoach Clinis
Hall. "But the Marlins (fomerly Martin Braves) has a real good team.
They play good defense and they put
the ball in play."
Martin took a 2-0 lead with two in
the fttst. Jason Martin doubled home
Hall, who opened the game with a
single, and Martin scored on Isaac's
base hit.
Skeens started the nine-run flrsl
for the Astros with a lead off single.
However, Skeens was thrown out
Good form!
Despite suffering a broken left wrist, Betsy Layne pitcher Brandon Castle had little trouble throwing strikes
against South Floyd Friday evening. Castle hurled only two innings and struck out five of the six he faced.

What a turnaround a season can
make.
Last year Allen Central's Josh
Hansford was struggling from the
plate, but this year he is httting over
.500 and is one of the top hitters in the
region.
Hansford continued his torrid hitting by collecting three hits in as
many plate appearances and driving
in three runs to lead the Rebels to an
8-I win over South Floyd.
Senior Jeremy Hall bowed out of
the remainder of the baseball season,
but not until he hurled a niffy twohitter against the Raiders.
Hall went the distance allowing
just one run on two hits. He struck out
II and walked but three.
Terrance Mullins, hindered by
some fttst inning errors, suffered the
setback. Mullins went the distance
for the Raiders and allowed ali eight
runs on 10 hits. He walked four while
fanning eight.
Allen Central scored four times in
the botom of the first to jump to a 4·
0 lead. Hansford had an RBI single
and Donnie Combs drilled a two-run
double in the inning. Kevin Allen
started the inning with a base hit.
Hall retired the first seven batters
he faced. Allen Central put two more
runs on the board on a one-out single
by Todd Bingham, Hansford's runs·
producing triple and and Combs' second hit of the game.
Hansford picked up RBI number
three when he walked with the bases
loaded in the third inning.
Mullins settled down after the third
and held the Rebels off the base paths.
But his team couldn't catch Allen
Central as they scored their lone run
in the sixth inning.
Shannon Slone opened the frame
Combs had two hits and collected
three RBis for Allen Central. The
Rebels stranded six base runners
while South Floyd left two on base.
Hall struck out the side in the fifth
inning.
It was be the fmal game for Hall,
who has decided to concentrate on
basketball in hopes of earning a basketball scholarship.

In aroute-going performance, Bub
Goins struck out 14 batters and the
DriftAstros edged a very good Garrett
Cubs Little League team 7-6 in the
sernifmals of the Beaver Creek Little
League Tournament last Friday.
Clinis Hall's ballclub won for the
third time this season without a loss.
Goins walked five batters in the
game as the Astros had to score three
times in the top of the seventh to pull
out the victory in extra innings. Drift
had to quench a late seventh inning
rally to preserve the win.
"It was one of the best Little
League games that I have been
around," said Hall.
The two teams were tied at4 when
Drift came to bat in the seventh.
Nathan Gunnels, who relieved starter
Josh Bentley after six innings, walked
Joe Spriggs and Joe Skeens consecutively. Mike Hall singled home
Spriggs.
·
Skeens and Hall then came around
to score on Jason Spriggs' two-run
double.
Garrett carne back with two in the
bottom of the seventh as Goins gave
up a one-out hit to Childers and
walked Slone. Both runners stole their
way around the bases to score. But
Goins retired ~e side without any
other base runners.
Drift had tied the game at 4 with a
run in the top of the fourth. JJ. Hall
walked, stole second and scored when
Adam Ward grounded out.
Both teams scored in the first inning with the Astros taking a 1-0
lead. Goins drove in Mike Hall, who
had walked, stole second and third.
The Cubs knotted the score on a
walk to Jones, Conley's base bit and
an RBI single by Childers.
Neither team scored in the second
inning, but the Astros plated two in
the third to lead 3-1. Joe Skeens and
Hall both stole home in the inning to
score.
Three runs crossed home plate in
the bottom of the inning as the Cubs
took their first lead at 4-3. Conley
singled, stole second and scored on
Childers' base bit Slone, safe on an
error, came in to score on a base bit by
Francis. Francis scored the third run
of the frame. _.
Bentley, in a start, struck out 10
batters and walked five. Gunnels, who
allowed the winning runs to score in
the top of the seventh, took the loss.
"I'm proud of the way this team
played," said Hall of his club. "I
never dreamed they would make it
this far. We really weren't in the
game. We made some mental mistakes.
"Josh (Bentley) pitched a good
game against us. The Cubs are one of
the best teams around. They are all
well mannered kids. Dave (Conley)
has done a great job with them. We
need more Dave Conleys in coaching. They played bard and are good
kids."

Belfry ends Betsy Layne
winning streak at 12 games
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Belfry right-hander BrentLee kept
the top of the Betsy Layne batting
order off the base paths and threw
b.b.' s at the Bobcats in recording a
10-3 win over Junior Newsome's
ballclub this past Saturday morning
in the Pikeville Hillbilly Day Classic.
The loss snapped a 12-game winning streak the Bobcats had put together this season. Betsy Layne lost
for only the second time this season.
Both Belfry and Betsy Layne went
with the ace of their staff in trying to
pick up the all-important win.
Derrick Newsome was on the hill
for the Bobcats and did not have his
usually good stuff against Belfry.
Newsome was consistently throwing
the ball in the dirt as be struggled with
his control.
Lee scattered six Betsy Layne bits
while holding the usually high scoring Bobcats to only three runs. He
struck out nine batters and walked
only one.
It was the top of the order that had
trouble with solving Lee's pitches.
Brent Akers, leadoff, fanned three
times. Derrick Newsome got a
scratch-bunt bit in the fifth, but thirdplace hitter Toby Newsome fanned
three times as well.
The bottom third of the lineup
accounted for half of the six hits.
Doug Keathley collected two hits with
Brad Kidd getting a fourth inning
RBI triple.
Newsome worked the first six innings, allowing eight runs on 10 bits.
He walked four batters and only had
the one strikeout.
Shannon Potter burled the seventh allowing two runs on two hits.
He walked no one and struck out one.
It was a swift moving ball game
through the first four innings until
Belfry scored three in the fifth and
sixth innings before plating two in
the seventh.
Belfry led 1-0 after one inning on

A vaulted great room is at the
core of the Midland, a tour-bedroom home that's low on formality, high on livability. What's missing here is a living room-a formal area that many 90s families

The great room is large enough
to accommodate a couple couches

A FEW WORDS TO SAY
Joe Adams
'
As the camera snapped, Shane Paul Poynter told his grandmother Sandy Poynter, a caretakert for the Odd Fellows'
Campground, a whopper when he said that he saw a fish in the lake ''this big," and extended his arms at least half his h.ei~ht.

A peaceful trip down nature's lane
by Janice Sl:.epherd
Managing Editor
•
Sometimes, the best things in life are free.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows sponsors a
recreational youth camp on Dewey Lake that it offers
free to area organizations that supervise youth
activities.
Just getting to the camp is a peaceful trip down
nature's lane. Campers leave a black-topped road at a
locked gate near the Brackett Memorial Walking
Trail behind the lodge. Then they travel for three
miles along a graveled road that twists and dips and
turns. As the road winds its way through the wilderness, travelers are greeted by sudden, breathtaking
views of the lake.
Deer and wild turkey can often be seen scrounging
for f~. Tiny plants show off with colors of blue,
violet, red. Here can be found the wood poppy, once
used to treat freckles; the Kentucky Bluetts, often
called Quaker Ladies; or the Pinxter flowers, often
mistakenly called honeysuckle because it looks like
honeysuckle except for its coloring.
The forests tower along the roadway. Beech
groves forests and the peach trees- just to name a
few- have sheltered the area for hundreds of years.
At the campsite, three rustic cabins are nestled in
the wooded area and near the lake shore. Each cabin
is furnished with the comforts of home: bunk beds,
mattresses, stoves, refrigerators and bathroom
facilities, and yet each cabin retains a sense of
isolation - a feeling that the pressures of the world
bas been left on the other side of the locked gate.
The largest cabin of the three will sleep a group of
25-30. Separate rooms are available for the chaperones. A large trestle table in the dining area will
accommodate the feeding habits of the group.
Outside, benches made from logs invite campers
to sit around the campfJte for an evening of song or a
talk session. Just a few steps away, the lake attracts
those in the group who want to fish, swim, or wade,
or just sit on its bank to contemplate the wonders of
nature.
Other cabins nearby will sleep from 14-16 to 4-6.
Each is heated with either a fueplace, wood stove or
electric beat. Cooking utensils are available, but are
limited.
Overlooking the three cabins is a caretaker's
cottage. Harold and Sandy Poytner have been
caretakers of the campground for the Odd Fellows for
about a year and a half. Both are rugged outdoor
individuals who wouldn't live anywhere else.
"We enjoy doing this. We think the camp is the
most important work so far in our lives," Sandy said
as she recalled the various youth organizations boy scouts and church groups - that had outings at
the camp.

children). Some of them have never been out in

THANK~ANDSOLONG
This one's for you.
Actually, every column I've written in The
Floyd County Times has been for you. But this
one is a bit different.
It's the last one.
Thanks for reading it.
When I approached publisher Scott Perry
almost two years ago about writing this column
for the newspaper, he probably thought I was a
quart or two shy in the head.
After giving my columns a try, he had to be
convinced of it.
Since Scott turned me loose, you've read about
a Prune Princess and Oatmeal King, a lOS-yearold cousin and a silly man who now knows better
than to stick a suction cupped toy to his forehead.
When I called up Janice Shepherd, the Times
mighty nice managing editor, about a month ago
to tell her I was giving these tales a rest for a
spell, I wondered myself if I didn't have more
than a few bolts loose upstairs.
Writing for you-the folks in the region of the
country I love best-has been an honor and more
than a speciruprivilege for me.
In many ways, it's been my lifeline to the
hills-my way of staying close to home.
You can take the boy out of Kentucky but you·
can't take the Kentucky out of the boy. And from
what I can see in the mirror, getting the ugly out
of this boy isn't any easier to do.
But back to this hills thing. My family roots
cling to the Eastern Kentucky ridges for more
than 200 years deep in every direction.
And even though I've been gone from the hills
for more than a decade now, they influence
practically everything this dude says and does.
lbere's Hog Town Ridge in the way I talk at
work (this Kentucky accent ain't going away in
my lifetime), the way I eat my breakfast (gravy,
sausage, egg and biscuit preferred) and in the
bedtime stories I tell my children (the big bass
that got away from me at our farm pond).
As many people from our region have shown,
Eastern Kentuckians rank among the smartest,
most talented and hardest-working people anywhere. But sometimes we forget it, or we allow
people from elsewhere-people who might talk
differently than we do and look down on us-talk
us out of believing it.
But folks like Ricky Skaggs, Loretta Lynn, Dr.
Bubba and Keith Whitley didn't let them.
We shouldn't either.
I'm very proud that my ancestors go back more
than 200 years in the hills. In fact, my children are
the first in their direct line of ancestors during that.
time not to be born in the hills. As may have
happened to you or your relatives, many folks
from our region left to find jobs many years ago.
Shucks, my relatives took towns like Dayton,
Middletown and Columbus without ever ftring a
shot.
I've spent a lot of my time wondering if my
family will ever get to move closer to home. My
son, 6, tells me practically every day how he can't
wait to go to his papaw's during vacation this
summer to see the chickens, wade the creek and
ride the 4-wheeler.
Whether he ever will get to do those things
more than a couple of times a year is something
I'll just have to leave with the Big Guy upstairs.
But I' 11 leave my appreciation with you.
A number of you have written letters and a
couple have even tracked me down by phone.
111anks for thinking of me. It's nice to know I
wrote something that made half-sense, or at least
touched your life in some way.
Hope you've had as much fun with it as I have.
As you've suspected all along, only a foggy
brain can produce a column like this one. I've
been writing this column at 1, 2 or 3 a.m. during
some weeks. Still, you've always gotten my best.
But working these 60 to 80-hour weeks with no
end in sight doesn't leave time for much else.
Life's known for its surprises, though, and
maybe th.e good folks at the Times will be willing
to put up with me again some day-even if my
accompanying picture is even more frightening
then than now.
In the meantime, keep the faith, stay proud of
our heritage and rest assured the Wildcats will
win it all again- whether any of us are alive to
see it or not.

twisting, tripping, punching, kicking, grabbing, throwing her down,
beating, and using a weapon against
her. Sexual abuse includes forcing
sexual relations, forcing sex with others, and unwanted touching.
Many of the abuser's control tactics, such as isolation and lack of
money or job training, add to the
obstacles to leaving a violent relationship, according to Fredericb.
Also, the victim frequently receives
encouragement from family and others to stay and may be unaware that
the violence against her is a crime.
"Oftentimes, ifshe does report the
crime, her local criminal justice system may offer either limited suppon
or protection or none at all, leaving
her in constant fear for her safety,"
said Frederich. "If she has children,
she may also fear for their safety.
"In many child abuse cases, it is
not uncommon for the abuse of the
mothertopredateabuseofthecbild,"
said Frederich. ''The abused women
themselves are 8-10 times more likely
to abuse their children, but that abuse
also stops when the mother and children are given refuge from the abusive spouse."
During ftSCal year 1993-94,2,346
women and eight men were given
refuge in Kentucky's 15state-funded
spouse abuse shelters. Many of those
women were mothers, taking 3,120
children wit,b them as they escaped
their violent homes.
Religious groups and other private organizations also fund shelters
and sponsor other domestic violence
programs.
Any person in an abusive relationship may seek help by calling the
local Department for Social Services
office, the nearest spouse abuse shelter, or the local law enforcement
agency. In Floyd County, contact the
Big Sandy Family Abuse Center at 1800-649-6605. Also, the state's Adult
and Child Abuse Reporting Hotline,

THE HILLSVILLE
COURTHOUSE TRAGEDY,
PARTS
Meanwhile back in Carroll
County, the Baldwin Felts detectives
had no idea where Sid Allen and
Wesley Edwards were hiding. But
they learned that Maude Troller did
and devised a plan to get the information from her.
One of the detectives disguised
himself as a laborer and got a job
working in the vicinity where Maude
lived. He bided his time and as he
became more and more friendly with
her, she confided everything to him.
On September 14, 1912, Sid
Edwards was sitting in his room in
Iowa when a maid came to his room
and surprised him by saying that
Wesley's girlfriend had anivcd. Sid
stepped to the stairs.
"Not more than a minute had
passed when, bounding up the stairs,
came a young man with a big, wickedlooking gun in his hand," Sid wrote.
"Before I had time to tum, he flashed
it in my face and yelled out for me to
put up my. hands. A man whom I
recognized as W. G. Baldwin rushed
up and also drew a big gun on me.
"It was just as I had told Wesley.
The moment his sweetheart anived
our freedom ended. She brought along
members of the Baldwin Felts Detective Agency and these men took her
sweetheart and me back to Virginia
in shackles. For a few hundred dollars she betrayed both me a!lll the
man she promised to marry."
Theretum trip to Virginia included
stops at the Chicago and Cincinnati
stations, prompting newspaper photographers and huge crowds to come
out to see the "two notorious outlaws."
Wesley Edwards' sweetheart was
on the train as they traveled back to
Virginia. They talked among themselves but Wesley would say little of
the conversations to Sid Allen.
"I was informed by the detccti ves
that she sold Wesley for five hundred
dollars," Sid wrote.
Maude married another man soon
after retuming to Virginia.
The Allens feared they wouldn't
receive a fair trial for their part in i.he
Hillsville CourthouseTragedy which
occurred March 14, 1912, but were
heartened when they learned the trials were to be moved to WytlJcville,
Va.
Floyd Allen's trial began April
30, 1912, for the slaying of Virginia
Commonwealth's Anomey William
Foster. The jury returned from deliberations again and again saying they
were deadlocked. Finally on May
18th t11ey reported that it was hopeless.
Judge Walter Staples implored
them to return and bring themselves
to an agreement. Later that aftemoon
the jury sentenced Floyd Allen to the
dcalh penalty.
Claude Allen's trial for the murder of Judge Massie began two days
later. The judgment of the jury was
that the prosecution did not show
proof of premeditation.
Claude wa<; then tried for the murder of Commonwealth Attorney William roster. The jllly was unable to
reach an agreement and its members
were dismissed.

$35.25
$15-$17.75
$20.75
Claude was uied still again and on
this occasion brought in a guilty verdict. I le received U1e death penaltythe same as his faU1er.
"Each of you have been charged
wiU1 the murder of four men and one
woman," Judge Staples told Floyd
and Claude Allen. "For the murder of
one of these men, you have been
separately u·ied and convicted.
"TheCourtofJ ustice in Hillsville,
sitting fort11eenforcementoflaw and
the protection of society, has been
almost entirely destroyed. That was
done by you and your associates.
This cannot be denied.
"J udgeMassie, a man pure in character, was shot three times where he
sat helpless and inoffensive. The Attorney for the Commonwealth, was
shot live times. The Sheriff, who was
in the act of taking you, Floyd Allen,
into custody, was shot six times, falling where he stood when your defiance of the law was uttered. The juror
was shot in his seat. These four men
and a woman were the persons killed.
A second juror was shot as he retreated and the Clerk was shot very
ncar his desk.
"It was done by you and your
associates with a quickness and accuracy of aim and action-impossible
to men acting under the impulse of
surprise.
"Twelve patient, honest, conscientious gentlemen have unanimously
concurred in the conclusion that there
is no reasonable doubt as to the facts
establishing your guilt. The evidence
overwhelmingly sustains these verdicts.
"You, Floyd Allen, were in the
custody of the law and ordered to jail
when you uttered your defiance of its
autho1ity. Wit110ut the least surprise
or hesitation, your associates instantly
began with you this deadly work;
began with a promptness and pursued it with a persistence and effectiveness.
"You have contended that the
Chief Clerk of the Court, while you
were in custody, opened fire on you.
You failed to show any motive for
such conduct and there is scarcely a
scintilla of evidence to confmn this
charge.
"It is the judgment of this court
that you be taken to the prison and
there on November 22, 1912, be put
to death. Through your sincere repentance and mediation of our Savior, may each of you receive mercy."

EPA of the 200 cases against the
company, even though some of the
lawsuits were ftled by people injured
up to ten years ago, Blondell said.
"Underour regulations, if the company hears of an adverse effect they
are supposed to notify us within a
couple of months, certainly not in a
matter of years. That is simply unacceptable," Blondell said. ''Oursban is
up for reregistration. Weare going to
do a much more thorough review
because of the lawsuits and the reports we received since the program
on CBS." Blondell said he was particularly concerned about the large
number of complaints involving
numbness in legs and arms.
Dursban is used in homes to control fleas, ticks, ants, cockroaches
and other pests. The pesticide is also
frequently sprayed in national parks,
post offices, veterans medical centers, and in day care centers in federal
facilities, according to a report released in February by the National
Campaign Against the Misuse of
Pesticides.
"The government should pull
Dursban from the market," said Jay
Feldman, director of the Campaign.
"We don't believe there is a way to
adequately regulate these nervous
system toxins that are used in the
indoor environment. People inhaling
low levels over a long period of time
are going to suffer nervous system
effects to different degrees. Until EPA
can study the situation, the chemical
exposure should stop."
Garry Hamlin, manager of corporate affairs for DowElanco, disagrees.
"This is a compound that has been
on the marketplace in excess oftwenty
years. It's been evaluated in the home,
evaluated in animals, human volunteers and in the workplace," Hamlin
said. "We've had extensive experience that allows us to document in
what conditions this compound can
beusedsafely.DowElancohassought
to build in a safety margin that would
allow people to be safe even in the
conditions of misuse." Hamlin said
he and five other employees of the
company voluntarily ingested does
ofDursban 250 times higher than the
doses people receive at borne. The
employees did not suffer the kinds of
problems reported in the lawsuits.
The attomey general of New York
investigated advertising statements
made by DowElanco and found in
1994 that a number of statements in
the company's advertising literature
constituted "false and misleading
advertising." Among the statements

Human injury could
be caused by bug killer
by Laura Yeomans
Citizen Action Consumer Columnist
Consumers have experienced miscarriages, memory loss, numbness in
the legs and arms, and acute poisoning after being exposed to the commonly used pesticide Dursban, according to 200 lawsuits and claims
that have been filed against the manufacturer, DowElanco. Since a CBS
Eye-to-Eye investigation of the lawsuits aired on television in January,
the UnitedStatesEnvironmental Protection Agency has received additional complaints about the pesticide.
"The main problems seem to come
from homeowners who hire an exterminator who either doesn't mix the
pesticide right or sprays in areas he
, shouldn't spray," said Jerome
Blondell, Ph.D., of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's pesticides office. "For example according
to a person I talked with yesterday,
the exterminator came in and sprayed
the person's clothing. That guy should
be immediately fired, fined and probably put in prison for doing something like that Last week I talked
with a person where apparently the
exterminator did the proper application for termites. They drilled into the
floor and covered the holes properly,
but the floor had cracks in it, so the
odor came up through the cracks and
the person was poisoned."

ALL SNORING SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED!
Experts estimate that half of the chronic snorers over 40 have episodes of
obstructive apnea, when flapping soft tissue at the base of the tongue and throat
block all air flow. For the person with apnea, it's as if someone sticks a giant cork
in his throat as many as 300 times a night. Some people stop breathing for as long
as a minute, and each year between 2,000 and 3,000 apnea sufferers die of cardiac
arrest in the night.
How can someone tell whether a mate might have sleep apnea? Snoring is
irregular. There are lots of sharp snorts and gasps . It is labored, at time·s explosive,
and in severe cases it's just as bad no matter what the sleeping position.
To confirm whether a person has apnea requires an ovemight sleep study. This is
also referred to as a polysomnogram. Most insurance plans require a sleep study
showing apnea or another underlying medical condition before they will cover the
cost of surgery and other treatments for snoring.
Untreated apnea can contribute to high blood pressure, enlargement of the heart,
and increased risk of stroke. And because this sleep is so tormented, apnea sufferers
are always tired. An estimated 20% have had car accidents as a result of falling
asleep at the wheel. And, in all, experts say 20 million Americans have apnea but
don't know it.
Call Patricia, 358-2381, to schedule a consultation to discuss a new, highly
effective, office laser procedure for the treatment of snoring!

New study suggests babies shouldn't
be put to sleep on too soft bedding
A two-year study suggests tbat
too-soft bedding could be one cause
for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS), the cause of death for as
many as 6,000 young babies each
year.
The new study, released by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission, concludes that soft bedding
products should not be used as a
sleepingsurfaceforinfants,saidLarry
Piercy, extension safety specialist for
the University of Kentucky College
of Agriculture.
"CPSC recommends that infants
be placed in a crib on a fum, flat
mattress to sleep," Piercy said. "Soft,
fluffy products such as pillows, comforters or sheepskins should not be
placed under those infants while they
sleep."
Just how serious is this condition
known as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome)?
Piercy cited the Consumer Product Safety Commission's report saying that80 percentofthedeaths studied by CPSC occurred in babies aged
under four months. A CPSC infant
suffocation project found that unsafe
use of soft bedding may have contributed to the deaths of as many as
I ,800 infants who die each year with
their noses and mouths covered.
The study of infant deaths at 17
sites across the cowttry revealed that
rebreathing expired air trapped in certain soft bedding products may have
contributed to the deaths of these
infants. They were found sleeping on
their stomachs with noses andmouths
covered by pillows, comforters and
other soft bedding products.
CPSC researchers theorize that the
hazard occurs when carbon dioxide
exhaled by the child becomes trapped
in the bedding product. The child
rebreathes the carbon dioxide and
ultimately suffocates. Testing in
CPSC laboratories showed that car-
bon dioxide accumulations in many
of these products were high. The vast
majority of the beddmg items were
permeable which allowed large
amounts of carbon dioxide to collect.
CPSC used a wide range of experts including physicians, epidemiologists, statisticians, economists and
otber health science professionals to
conduct tbeir study, Piercy said.
Piercy said it is important to note
that tbe cause for all cases of SIDS
has not been found, "but tbis study
does show an association between
infants placed on top of soft bedding
and many deaths attributed to SIDS."

Floyd County Mining Engineering
students sweep awards at UK
by Eloise Delzer
Contributing Writer
The University of Kentucky Department ofMining Engineering held
its Thirteenth Annual Awards Dinner at the Marriott Griffm Gate Resort Hotel in Lexington April the 8
whereFloydCountianssweptawards
and accounted for six of the nine top
graduating seniors, Class of 1995.
Kevin Adams, Kevin Houston,
Todd Justice, Tom Nairn, Paul Hom
and Chris Slone, all graduates of Prestonsburg High School, were honored by the university, their guests
and mining company representatives.
Five of the six graduates have
already found employment in the
mining industry .Four of the six graduates were members of the 1989 Sweet
Sixteen Black Cat Basketball team.
The Careers-in-Coal Lamplighter
Award went to Paul Hom. The Old
Timers' Club Award went to Chris
Slone. Floyd Countian, and Student
Mining Chapter President Allen
James presented Craig Burke with
the Outstanding Senior for 1995
Award given by Tau Beta Pi.
UK Professor Richard J. Sweigard
called the group's attention to the
fact that Floyd County students had
indeed swept awards this year and
seemed destined to dominate future
awards with Allen James and Jason
Storey currently serving as president
and secretary of the Student Mining
Engineering Chapter. Professor
Sweigard said, "This class has been a
remarkably close knit group whose
accomplishments predict the continuation of careful and innovative mining techniques."
A few years ago when Elkhorn
Coal Company in Prestonsburg was
recognized forits' contribution to the
community by the Floyd County
ChamberofCommerceFrankDelzer,
vice president of Stagg Engineering,
Charleston, West Virginia, pointed
out that over 80 percent of those who
performed high tech jobs at Elkhorn
received theirprimary and secondary
education in mountain counties. Most
went on to advanced training that
prepared them to perform the highly
skilled tasks required by the mining
industry, Mr. Delzer said. "The mining industry has not been a pick and
shovel business for many years and
requires a technically skilled work
force in order to successfully compete in the world coal market," he
added.
Delzer added, "It might be a good
time to acknowledge the value of
good parenting and the invaluable
contribution made by local educators, especially since we are again
reminded that the proof is always in
the pudding."
Dell Jaggers, graduate of
Prestonburg High School Class of
1975, representing Mapco Coal, Inc.
as general manager ofEngineering in
Lexington remarked that, Ron
Robinson, math teacher at Prestonsburg High School had played an important part in his education. Jaggers
said, "Ron Robinson not only taught
math but encouraged all his students
to succeed." Jaggers added, "Too
often we are swayed by those who
tend to forget that teachers do in fact
change lives." These comments certainlyring true whensixofnine graduating University of Kentucky School
ofMining Engineering students from
the same school took top honors.
Further news this week indicates
that the Prestonsburg High SchooU
UK connection will continue. Ron
Robinson, math instructor at Prestonsburg High School, announced this
week that seven Prestonsburg High
School students have been awarded
mining engineering scholarships at
the University of Kentucky for the
fall of 1995. They are Aaron Bond,
Mark Chitti, David Coleman, Paul
Collins, David Lee, Blake Leslie and
Stewart Robertson.
Robinson recently said, "Prestonsburg High School students have accounted for more than flfty percent of
all UK mining engineering scholarships over the past few years."

Rape crisis center gives support,
around the clock help to victims
Dealing with the aftermath of
sexual assault can make people feel
even more victimized and isolated.
Since 1987 Kentucky's Rape Crisis
Cemers have helped nearly 27,000
adult and child victims handle the
trauma of a sexual assault.
The state's 13 Rape Crisis Centers
offer 24-hour rape crisis hot lines,
medical and legal advocacy services,
information and referral services,
education and prevention programs
for communities and counseling to
victims and their families.
In the Floyd County area, the
phone number for the Rape Victim
Services Program is 1-800-422-1060.
Carol Jordan, administrator of the
Sexual and Domestic Violence program in Kentucky's Department for
Mental Health and Mental Retardation Services, said there has been a
consistent increase in the number of
people served each year through the
centers as people have become familiar with the services in their communities.
The centers are important because
they "provide immediate intervention in order to mitigate the traumatic
effects of sexual assault. They also
educate communities about sexual
assault and help the community become more responsive to victims,"
Jordan said.
The 1986 General Assembly was
the first to appropriate state funds for
Rape Crisis Centers. Since then the
number of victims who have been
served has risen from 1,915 in fiscal
year 1987 to 5,207 in FY 1994. In
addition, nearly 10,000 friends and
family members of sexual assault
victims have been helped at the centers since FY 1987.
With the 13 centers, services are
available to all Kentuckians.
"The Rape Crisis Centers started
out to provide crisis services, but for
some of these agencies the focus has
expanded to include longer-term
therapy for rape victims, for children,
and for adults who were sexually
abused as children," Jordan said.
IN FY 1994, 5,207 victims of
sexual assault were served at the centers and 2,060 family members and
friends of victims were helped. Of
the total number of victims served,
4,634 were females.
One of the most important services of the centers, the 24-hour crisis hot lines, registered 6,851 crisis
calls and 13,461 general information
calls in FY 1994. Crisis hot lines are
staffed by trained volunteers. counselors and program staff.
The centers also provide advocates to accompany victims through
the forensic rape examination conducted at hospitals, or through the
court process, if the person requests
it. Court and hospital advocates support victims, as well as provide education about what to expect from the
legal or medical process. In FY 1994,
800 people asked for a hospital or
medical advocate and 968 victims
requested a criminal justice advocate.
Individual, couple, family and
group counseling also are available
at the centers to help victims and their
families cope with the crime. Nearly
7,500 people participated in 21,063
counseling sessions in FY 1994.
Nearly 137,300 volunteer hours
were given to the centers in FY 1994.
Volunteers can serve in a variety of
jobs including board members, fund
raisers, clerical workers, crisis hot
line workers and advocates.
Jordan said the centers send a
message to victims that the sexual
assault was not their fault, and to
communities that sexual assault will
not be tolerated.
"It's only when all communities
are intolerant of sexual victimization
that we will truly be able to eradicate
the crime," Jordan said.
To become a volunteer or to inquire about services, call the Rape
Victim Services Program.

Home of tomorrow's stars
The combined efforts of several federal, state and city agencies and private businesses are bringing the dream of Billie Jean Osborne into focus. Construction will
soon begin on the center. The building will house the Kentucky Opry and will serve an as educational facility to train the stars of tomorrow.
Mountains Arts Center closer to reality
•
Construction of the $6.3 million Mountain Arts Center is underway, following
several years of local, state and federal
efforts to ensure the performing arts center
becomes a reality.
In construction off the Middle Creek
section of KY 114 about one mile east of
US 23, the center is a "dream coming true"
for thirty-year educator, Kentucky Opry
Founder and Executive Director Billie
Jean Osborne.
"I feel I've been patient over the last five
years. Each day I've kept pressing on,
traveling to (area) schools, trying to forge
ahead with the dream. It's hard to believe
it's actually happening. Just seeing the
machinery on the site gives me
goosebumps."
The building will house a theatre and a
first-class facility for musical instruction
of Floyd County students.
The Kentucky Opry will be the primary
tenant of the Mountain Arts Center, presenting 3 to 4 shows per week, including
named performers, Gospel Night, Talent
Searches, and full-blown Kentucky Opry
productions.
Prestonsburg Community College, the
Floyd County Board of Education and
Jenny Wiley Theatre, will be secondary
tenants, with preferred scheduling options
for programs under their sponsorship,
including the region-wide Community
Concert Series and Little Theatre .
I
The Kentucky Center for the Arts has
provided technical and artistic assistance,
and will received preferential scheduling
for touring performances under its sponsorship, which may include ballet, opera,
orchestra and others.
The Mountain Arts Center is a teaching
facility as well as a performance center. It
will be home to regional school band and
choral meets, workshops in all areas of the
arts, and summer music camps for all ages
sponsored by one of the five main tenant
organizations.
The 43,780-square-foot facility will be
owned and operated by an independent
public commission established by the City
of Prestonsburg, and is being funded by
several agencies: The Small Business
Administration, a $2 million grant; the
Economic Development Administration, a
$1 million grant; the Appalachian Regional
Commission, a $500,000 grant; Rural
Development Authority, a $2 million lowinterest, long-term loan; and local banks,
with an $875,000 loan. A private fundraising campaign was kicked off in June
1993.
Estill Lee Carter, vice-chairman of the
Prestonsburg Properties Advisory Committee responsible for overseeing the construction of the arts center, expressed his
appreciation and admiration to everyone
who helped to make "Billie Jean's dream"
a reality.
"It's been an ambitious project and one
in which everyone has had to pull together
to make happen. Eastern Kentucky has
responded to the fundraising efforts and
this is a project I feel good about. The
Mountain Arts Center will be a cornerstone
for tourism growth in our area and Prestonsburg will be a tourist destination instead of merely a stopover."
Carter added that Congressman Hal
Rogers played a large part in getting the
project funded and said "the man should
not go unrecognized for his efforts."
Bids for the project were recently advertised, with a low bid returned by W.B.
Browning Construction Company, Inc. of
Pineville. Due to the size of the project, at
least 10 subcontractors are expected to
participate.
Contract documents were signed March
21, according to Libby Ratcliff, project
administrator with Big Sandy Area Development District. Co-administrator Brenda
Powers adds that a notice to proceed was
issued to the firm April 6, with construction beginning within 10 days.
The anticipated completion date is June
1996.
Architectural services are being provided by Sherman-Carter-Barnhart of
Lexington; a local firm, Baldridge Engineering, is providing engineering services.
Peter George and Associates Inc. is serving
as theatrical and acoustical consultant.

THE PAST COMES .TO LIFE:
.
Funding efforts are underway to create a
state-of-the-art park at the Middle Creek
Battlefield, a National Historic Landmark
near Prestonsburg.
The Civil War site is located near the
intersection of new U.S. 23 and Ky. 114. It is
one of only 11 sites in the state surveyed as
part of a 1992 Congressionally-mandated
Civil War Sites Advisory Commission Study.
The Battle of Middle Creek helped the
Union secure an important portion of the
Commonwealth, and was the site of the
largest Civil War battle fought in Eastern
Kentucky. Historians note it also assisted in
establishing the national reputation of Union
Commander James A. Garfield, who later
became President of the United States.
Frank Fitzpatrick, founder and president
of the Middle Creek Battlefield National
Historic Landmark Foundation, is seeking
funding from various federal, state and local
sources.
Although an application for assistance
under the Intermodal Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act (ISTEA) was unsuccessful
last year, Fitzpattick has not been deterred.
He plans to reapply for all or part of the
$900,000 project this year.
The Middle Creek site, he says, is important to the area's tourism industry.
"With the confluence of the Mountain Arts
Center, Thunder Ridge, Jenny Wiley State
Park and the Theatre, as well as the potential
of the golf course, we have a much better
chance of attracting tourists," he explains.
"You group all of these together, and we are
.· ... :::_::::
capable of keeping those tourists here more
than just one or two nights.
'
"The battlefield is one of those venues
that will attract people from quite a distance
to learn more about the part Kentucky
played in the Civil War, and the part the War
played in Kentucky."
The battle site is owned by members of
the same family as in 1862 and retains a virtually unchanged historical appearance. A
Civil War re-enactment is held annually and
draws spectators from around the region, as
well as Ohio, Michigan and West Virgmia.
The annual re-enactment of the largest
Civil War battle in Eastern Kentucky is
staged on the site of the historic encounter.
The three-day event opens with camp tours,
simulated camp activities, and military drills.
The battle, re-enacted on the final day
of the event, marked the beginning of
Garfield's public career.
Fitzpatrick will again request ISTEA
funding to make improvements at the
site, which is a National Historic
Landmark.
The enhancement project will focus
on research, signage, trails and interpretation, including a visitor's center.
An interpretive plan was prepared for
the site in January 1994 by Raymond
Price Associates of Frederick, Md.
By phase, the development effort
includes:

Brother against brother
A re-enactment of the Civil War Battle of Middle Creek is held annually. This year the three-day event begins with
an encampment on June 2 and concludes with the battle on June 4. Saturday's events Include a pig roast,
reception at the May House, and speeches in downtown Prestonsburg. Tickets for the pig roast are $5 each. The
event is sponsored by the Middle Creek Battlefield Preservation Society and the Prestonsburg Tourism
Commission. For more information about the annual re-enactment, call Prestonsburg Tourism at886-1341.
A small hard-surfaced parking area
is planned, accommodating one bus
and three to four cars. An all-weather
trail will also be built, taking visitors
from the parking facility to a kiosk.
The kiosk will house a triple-sided
exhibit detailing the site and history.
A self-guided trail will begin at the
kiosk, loop around the site and return
to its origin. Along the way, there will
be seven interpreted stops. A portion of
the interpretation will illustrate the
important events of the battle and help
visitors understand why and how the fight
evolved, as well as its end result.
Plans also call for interpretation at three
other locations, with two on the site and one
in Prestonsburg. Graveyard Point, at the
extreme eastern edge of the boundary, is the
site from which Garfield directed the army's
attack.
The second ~te within the boundary is a
remnant of the historic Mount Sterling to
Pound Gap Road. Approximately 500 yards
of the original 150-mile road remains; it
originally stretched from the Bluegrass to the
Virginia border.
The third site at which an interpretive
marker will be placed is in Prestonsburg at
the approximate site of Garfield's headquarters after the battle. The home he occupied
after the battle became known as "the
Garfield Place."
PHASE TWO
Plans in Phase Two include construction
of an all-weather, noise-free visitors center
to house the permanent exhibits and artifacts
needed to interpret the Middle Creek and
Civil War struggles in the region. The 2,500
to 3,000 square foot building is planned near
the kiosk and will include an office,
restrooms, large lobby, exhibit and video
monitor area, and a sales shop.
PHASE THREE
Additional interpretive signage is planned
at Archer Park, introducing the visitor to the
battle and to the Nancy P. Gap. The historic
route through the mountains is one traveled
by both Marshall and Garfield to reach
Middle Creek.
A CSX spur line running from the battlefield site to Archer Park will be converted to
a multi-purpose trail when the line is abandoned. The two-mile trail would connect
Archer Park and the Battlefield for pedestrians and bicyclists. Included would be a
"floating bridge" across Middle Creek to the
trail to the Phase One loop at the Battlefield.

Whether it's a weekend jaunt to view fall
foliage or a week-long excursion to enjoy
festivals and theater, the majority of visitors
to Eastern Kentucky come to Floyd and surrounding counties.
The Big Sandy region covers nearly 2,000
square miles in the heart of the Appalachian
mountain range. The area experiences dramatic seasonal changes which provide the
impetus for the droves of tourists who visit
annually. Visitors flock to the region to enjoy
the blooming of redbud and dogwood in the
Spring, and return in the Fall when the hills
come alive with hues of red, gold and scarlet.
According to the state Department of
Travel Development, more than 40 percent
of the area's visitors are from elsewhere in
Kentucky. The second largest group - about
15 percent - are from Ohio. Others come
from West Virginia, Tennessee, lllinois,
Michigan, Indiana and North Carolina, as
well as a smattering of other states and
nations.
For Eastern Kentuckians, tourists provide
a significant boost to the economy. Money
spent by visitors more than doubled during
the past decade, and today exceeds $60 million annually in the Big Sandy region. As
spending has increased, employment has also
risen - by nearly 30 percent, according to
the state Tourism Cabinet.
Improvements in the transportation system
have had a vital role in opening the region to
visitors. Four and three-lane primary roads
bring together the cities and towns and allow
tourists to move with relative ease between
points of interest. The achievement is significant; the topography (1,240' above sea level)
and the geology of the region do not lend
themselves to road construction. But once
constructed, many roads provide an unexpected benefit: the routes themselves are so
scenic and the feat of the road construction
so awe inspiring that traveling becomes an
attraction in itself.
"If you have a highway system comparable to major interstates in terms of safety,
travel time and quality, and if you have

Tourism)
attractions, then people will come," explains
Fred James, executive director of the
Prestonsburg Tourism Commission. "People
are looking for something new and different,
and we have that. We're off the beaten path."
James explains that the major north-south
corridors in Kentucky are Interstates 65 and
75. Many travelers, he says, stop in this area
while en route to another destination because
it's convenient.
"Our visitors are either traveling through
or traveling to," says James. "If you have a
viable transportation network, they will utilize it. If you have attractions, you can
become a destination, or at the very least, a
midway stop-off point for someone on their
way from Detroit to Myrtle Beach.
"We have the luxury of having both: the
midpoint, and a good place as a destination.
We're only five hours from 10 million people."
Traditional points of interest range from
theatre at Jenny Wiley State Park in Floyd
County to whitewater rafting at Elkhorn City
in Pike County. And, with the advent of the
Mountain Arts Center and continuing professional performances by the Kentucky Opry,
tourists have increasing reasons to visit the
area.
Each of the counties and many of the
cities in the region have well-equipped public recreational parks, as well as privately
owned and operated sports and leisure activity enterprises. A regional tourism development survey developed in 1994 lists facilities
generally available in area parks: softball
and baseball fields, Little League ballfields,
basketball and tennis courts, walking tracks,
play equipment for youngsters, horseshoe
pits, swimming pools, shelters for small and
large gatherings, and picnic areas. In addition, several also include senior citizens
areas, youth centers, gymnasiums, roller
rinks, RV camping and tent camping. There
are four public golf courses in the region.
The growing awareness of opportunity has
spawned three local tourism commissions
with talk of two more. Tourism commissions
are established and functioning in Floyd,
Johnson, and Pike counties.
In Magoffin and Martin
counties individuals have
been designated by the
county judge executive to
coordinate tourism promotion planning and development.
According to James,
tourism and travel comprises
the second largest industry
in America. It's the third
largest industry in Kentucky.
"As such," he explains, "it
certainly warrants the more
detailed and specific concentration of effort provided by
the commissions."
He advocates the regional
approach, envisioning it
much like an inverted pyramid. At the top, he says, is
the individual attraction. "It
might be the city and everything in it," James explains.
"Here, it's Prestonsburg in
terms of our commission's
entire goal. As we fan out
into the marketplace, we
find that Kentucky is the
attraction. Inside that, and

Unless a judicial decision intervenes, Floyd Countians are one
step closer to having an E-911
emergency service after f'tve years
of relative inactivity.
In a special meeting Wednesday,
the ftScal court held f'trSt reading of
an ordinance which establishes the
9ll service and authorizes an 89cent per month surcharge for tele-
phone subscribers. Language in the
ordinance calls for the court's
action to be retroactive to February

to levy the special tax for the service.

Mayor Raymond Griffith suggested that council postpone payment to the officers until they

Owens seemed satisfied with the
revisions to the ordinance and suggested that it be added that no
board members be compensated for
their service.
Membership on the board is voluntary, under the ordinance, and
terms of service, other than elected
officials, are for four years.
Hammond told magistrates that
his position remained the same on
the issue and commented that be
had not "authored" the document
Meyer told the court that he bad
been advised, not by Hammond, to
proceed with adopting the ordinance and took exception with a
comment by Hammond that the
county attorney bad no input con-
ceming the content of the ordinance.
"I did get a copy over to you
Monday," Meyer told Hammond.
"I left a message Monday evening
to call on Tuesday to discuss it, but
that did not happen. It was a short
time frame, but there was an opportunity to discuss the ordinance."
Hammond said that he was in
Fayette County on Tuesday and did
not have time to discuss the document with the judge-executive.
Meyer said that a special meeting of the court may be called soon
to hold second reading on the ordinance because the ordinance calls
for the 911 board of directors to
develop a plan by June 16 for the
implementation of the system.

Ray Tucker of Kentuckians for

Towler toid the board that it
could cost over $400,000 to replace
the system but, unless it was paid
for from bond proceeds, the district
had only enough funds available to
do part of the project.
Board members decided to
replace the entire system and to pay
for the project with a bond issue.

police department before, suggested that the funds be paid from the
police department budget and,
when that budget is depleted, officers be laid off until the new fiscal
year.
"We'll ask the county and state
police to help us out," Akers said.
Councilman Denzil "Hoss"
Halbert suggested that council dip
into a certificate of deposit in order
to avoid laying off the police force.
Akers disagreed, saying, "It ain't
right"
Policeman Jim Slone commented that council had used money in
the bank for fmancial assistance for
the water and sewer departments.
"You fill your own time sheets
out and it's not right," Akers told
Slone. "If we have to pay it, we'll
pay it, but it will be at your
expense, not ours."
"The expense is not theirs, it's to
the people of Martin," Halbert
responded. "If the city was destitute
it would be another question.
There's $100,000 in general fund."
"Robbery is robbery, even if it is
the police department, •• Akers said.
Officer Slone responded that the
mayor and city clerk bad instructed
the officers on how to fill out their
time sheets and that's bow they bad
done it for the past five years.
The clerk took exception with
Slone·s remarks.
Council decided to seek advice
from the city attorney, and deferred
the issue until the May 10 meeting.
Also Wednesday, a Martin resident challenged council to provide
him with free sewer service
because a private school was not
being billed for the service.
Joe Simpson told council that be
felt it was not right that Mountain
Christian Academy was not paying
for sewer service while Martin residents were expected to do so.
"I don't know why in the world
you don't make that bunch at the
school pay," Simpson said. "You
charge us but let them go free. If we
pay they should pay. If you don•t
give me mine free. rll me a discrimination charge. rd say a good
lawyer can damn sure take care of
it"
Council declined to act on
Simpson·s request and the city
clerk commented that the utility
department should begin billing the
school next month.
In other business Wednesday:
• Red White & Blue committee
chairman Walter Clyde Dingus
reported that the group hopes to be
self-sufficient financially and that
employees of East Kentucky
Broadcasting are planning to organize a concert to boost the October

• council agreed to hire Reba

"It's really exciting to see this

County is doing a great job of getting parents involved. I think what's
really amazing is the variety of the

Nature's finest
Frank Fitzpatrick, a member of the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund, accepted a license plate from Libby Jones, who represented
her husband, Gov. Brereton Jones, at a press conference in Frankfort on
March 31 announcing the sale of the plates.
Sale of nature license plate will
benefit Kentucky communities
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
A warbler resting on a limb of
Kentucky's state tree, the tulip poplar tree, could help Kentuckians preserve the beauty of the state, according to Frank Fitzpatrick of Prestonsburg.
Through the sale of a Kentucky
license plate depicting the Kentucky
warbler and tulip tree, the conservation board can purchase land for nature preserves, wildlife management
areas, state paries, recreation and environmental education areas.
The land can be wetlands, wooded
green space, or large tracts of oldgrowth forests, Fitzpatrick said.
Fitzpatrick serves on the Kentucky
Heritage Land Conservation Fund
Board, an agency created in 1990 by
the Kentucky General Assembly to
acquire land, receive and approve
grant applications for the acquisition, and management of the funds.
No funding mechanism was created,
though, to enable the board to purchase properties.
"That $25 is tax deductible," he
added.
Individuals converting from a
regular plate should tum their old
plates in to the county clerk to receive
credit for the months remaining on
their decals. The $35 cost, above the
regular registration fee, is good for
two years.
By purchasing the license plate,
Kentuckians will help "protect the
plants and trees that are so vitally
important to the biodiversity of life,"
Fitzpatrick said.
He praised state representative
Greg Stwnbo for his help with the
endeavor.
"Without the strong support of
Representative Greg Stumbo, the legislation would have not been possible. He was very instrumental in its
passage," be said.
Fitzpatrick was selected to sit on
the Heritage Land Conservation Fund
Board by his fellow members of the
Nature Conservancy Board. He was
appointed to the Nature Conservancy
Board by Gov. Brereton Jones. The

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul Voltaire
Competent
enough ...
by Scott Perry
It has taken ten years and untold amounts of taxpayer dollars to determine that Clawvern
Jacobs is competent to stand trial
for the 1985 murder of an Alice
Lloyd College student.
Jacobs was convicted and sentenced to death once for the
crime, but the state Supreme
Court decided he was tried in
the wrong place, and the courts
were directed to do it all over
again.
While we are a firm believer
in equal protection under the
law and rights for those accused
of crimes, we have a hard time
understanding why competence
to stand trial is such an issue for
concern.
All this legal mumbo jumbo
about mental capacity or understanding the difference between
right and wrong seems awfully
irrelevant to the issue of whether
a crime was committed and who
did it.
Perhaps the how and why of
crime is important to establish

motive, but is it more important
than deciding if a person is innocent or guilty?
Isn't the actual commission of
a crime more relevant than the
reason for committing it?
Certainly there are mitigating
factors in many cases, but we
don't see mental competency
among them.
Violent behavior cannot be
excused or ignored because an
individual was responding to
some inner voice or to a life of
abuse.
As a society, perhaps we
should sympathize with those
who suffer from troubled minds
and mental illnesses, but our
courts are here to exact justice.
Put simply, a person competent enough to commit a crime
is competent enough to be tried
for it on the evidence, and competent enough to be punished.
Just as ignorance of the law is
no excuse, neither are insanity,
incompetence nor instability.
Do the crime, do the time and
leave the rest to a higher authority.

Kentucky Power Company co-sponsors
experimental teacher design workshop
Twenty-four teachers from various elementary and middle schools
across Eastern Kentucky participated
in an Experimental Design Workshop to assist science teachers in
coaching their students to build better science projects and become scientifically literate by developing and
applying the basic concepts of experimental design.
The workshop was part of the
CEDAR Coal Fair held at Pikeville
College and was co-sponsored by
CEDAR (Coal Education Development And Resource Council), Kentucky Power and Appalachian Power.
CEDAR is a non-profit organization
formed to help improve the image of
coal by accomplishing its goal of
integrating the study of coal and energy-related subjects into classroom
curriculum.
Sarah Whipkey, educational services assi stantfor Appalachian Power
and a former science teacher, was
invited byCEDARtoteach the Workshop. In addition to coordinating the
school partnerships program for Appalachian Power, Whipkey travels
throughout West Virginia and Virginia teaching workshops on a number of energy-related topics.
The following Pike and Floyd
County teachers participated: Donna
Collins, Prestonsburg Elementary;
Suzanne Stumbo, Betsy Layne High
School; Jametta Meade, Mullins Elementary; Marquetta Bently, Shelby

public opinion is often influenced by
conclusions based on inaccurate information or someone's personal
opinion rather than sound, scientific
evidence. Not only can this cause the
general public to be misinformed,
but in some cases, it can cause unnecessary alarm.
One of Kentucky Power's corporate goals is to be involved in education in the communities it serves
through collaborative effortsand partnershipinitiatives that meet the needs
of the students, teachers, parents and
employers. The company offers
speaker services and educational
materials on energy-related, safety
and environmental subjects.

School-based decision making
raising issues in education reform
As a pioneer in education reform,
Kentucky also will take the lead in
addressing issues relating to schoolbased decision making, according to
a University of Kentucky education
professor.
Several key issues are cropping
up as Kentucky's efforts to reform its
educational system progress, such as:
• How will the state force schools
thathaven'tformedschoolcouncils
to comply with the law?
• Why aren'tstudentsrepresented
on the councils?
• Who will win the tug-of-war
between school boards and school
councils?
Emerging issues center on several

"I wish I'd spoken to her."
"Nature is such a spirit that most
of us admire but never try to understand," Spence said. "And, in view of
the current plight of the environment,
the natural world is disappearing without our ever having known it.

who has helped me make this exhibition possible and to invite everyone

based decision making councils in
virtually every school in the state.
The councils are designed to direct
the daily management and operations
of local schools and are typically
composed of three teachers, two parents and a school administrator.
A primary issue relates to an apparent tug-of-war between school
boards and school councils, said
Russo, who reviewed the issues in
the latest Kentucky Law Journal.
"Some school boards see councils as
a threat, especially in personnel selection," be said.
Councils are designed as policytype bodies with responsibilities that
overlap with boards, and local boards
fear an erosion of power, Russo said.
A recent case, Bushee vs. Board
ofEducation, was decided in favor of
the councils, a sign of judicial leaning toward an interpretation ofKERA
in favor of councils, Russo said.
Russo also is concerned with the
makeup of the councils. He views the
design ofschool councils as tipped in
favor of educators, and thinks, for
better balance, students also should
be represented on councils.
Currently they can serve only in
unofficial roles as observers. "At least
at the high school level, it's worth
giving them some kind of say. That
18-year-old senior will be voting,"
Russo said.
With the July 1,1996, state-mandated compliance deadline drawing
closer, another issue looms on the
horizon: Whataboutschools thathave
not formed counei Is by the deadline?
So far, about 60 percent of schools
have established councils.
"No one is sure what is going to
happen if schools do not comply,"
Russo said. "The issue is defmitely
coming down the road. Schools will
have had six years to meet the requirement, so if they haven't, will the
state be willing to put some teeth into
the mandate?"
If, you have more than 25 lbs.
to lose and have struggled with
this for years, you may benefit
from the physician assisted
weight loss program.
The program consists of medical and dietary counseling
along with appetite control aids.
The goal will be to achieve a
lifetime of weight control and
health. For more information:
However, if they drop below that
threshold, they would have to start
another council. That could lead to
what Russo termed a "Chinese frre
drill" effect that could be detrimental
in the long term.
Another unresolved question involves accountability issues based
on the authority of councils to develop policies concerning curriculwn and instructional practices.
A troubling aspect ofKERA is the
authority of the Kentucky Department of Education to recommend the
dismissal of certified staff. Technically, the sanction may be invoked
after only six months, which he said
is too brief considering the seriousness of the sanction.
Further clarification from the Kentucky Department of Education and/
or the General Assembly is needed to
address what could be a future source
of litigation.
Time is crucial in KERA, Russo
stressed, because the reform effort
can transform the entire educational
organization only if it is allowed to
permeate the state's entire system of
common schools.
People who have no weaknesses are terrible;
there is no way of taking advantage of them.

One possibility is to change the
required vote of a faculty before
school-baseddecisionmaking can be
implemented from two-thirds to a
bare majority, Russo said.
Schools meeting their thresholds
of accountability are not required to
have councils, which may lead to
councils disbanding.

Boo Birds out at
Riverfront; Jackson
a Wildcat?
Over 50,000 fans jammed
Riverfront Stadium towelcome major league baseball
back to the Queen City.
Those who vowed to stay
away this baseball season
soon forgot what had happened over the last eight
months.
Baseball is back and so
are the Boo Birds. They
were out in full force when
the Reds played, uh,
stumbled against the Chicago Cubs on opening day
(Chris Potter surely was
happy).
But it is early in the season and the Reds will get
better and the fans will once
again forgive and embrace
them.
A bright spot in the
season's beginning was
hearing the familiar voice
of Marty and Joe over the
airwaves. There's not a better duo.
Pitching is going to be
the problem for this year's
Reds team. Jose Rijo is not
a big-time winner. John
Smiley is very inconsistent,
but who else is there?
General Manager Jim
Bowden will be looking to
make some trades shortly,
with the abundance of everyday players he has.
They talk of the depth of
Cincinnati's bullpen, but
most of those got hit hard
during spring training. We'll
have to wait and see.
You can catch all the Reds
games over WMDJ-FM.
I've been asked who will
carry the games this year.
Now you know.
JACKSON TO UK?
While Kentucky coach
Rick Pitino hollered that the
recruiting period was over
for UK -- 1,000 percent -yet the Cats are still in the
hunt for mega-prospect
Randa11Jackson,a6-11,200
pound center.
Question is, where to put
him? Is there a scholarship
available? The Cats have
their limit of 13 (14 counting Rhodes if he returns).
But you can bet that if Jackson opts to join the roster at
UK, Coach Pitino will find
a way to make room.
Could be he will encourage a couple of other recruits to transfer. Scott
Padget is one of them. I
would hate to see Alan
Edwards leave UK. I think
he is going to be a good one
once given the chance. But
I look for the guard to follow big brother's advice and
leave UK.
If Padgett and Edwards
decide to leave UK, that
would leave room for Jackson, even if Rhodes chooses
to return next season.

The Ridgerunner's Track

shutout against
Sheldon Clark
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
The South Floyd Raiders won for
the second time this season and it
took some strong pitching by leftbander Scotty Hall to get it done.
Hall shut out the Sheldon Clark
Cardinals on five hits in posting a 50win.
Terrance Mullins blasted a sixthinning home run as the Raiders collected only six hits.
Hall was in control on the mound
as he struck out seven batters and he
only issued one walk. I Iall kept his
pitches down as was evident by the
number of ground balls hit to the
infield.
The Raiders committed four errors in the game.
The Cardinals threatened to score
in the second inning when they put
their first three runners on base with
singles to load the bags. But Hall
fanned Preece and Durham before
enticing Maynard to pop out to short
and end the inning.
Both teams failed to score through
the ftrst four innings with South Floyd
putting two on the scorelx>ard in the
fifth inning for a 2-0 game.

the fifth and moved to second on an

OnMonday,April10,SouthFloyd
girls basketball coach Jimmy Hopkins
walked into the office of school principal AI Osborne and handed him his
resignation as coach for next season.
Hopkins said several reasons entered into his decision to resign, but
he mainly felt that someone at the
school could bring the program
around.
"I have done all that I could do,
workwise," he said, "I just feel that it
is time for a new face."
Hopkins just completed his second season as the girls head coach at
the newly consolidated school.
The South Floyd girls basketball
program has struggled the past two
years, winning three games last year
and only one this season.
South Floyd principal AI Osborne
said that the vacancy will not be filled
immediately.
"We will not announce the vacancy until the end of the school
year," said Osborne. "We will then
list it with the personnel office and it
will be advertised for 20 work days."
Osoorne said that he will not be
the one to decide who will get the job
but that the d~cision will rest with a
specially appointed commiltee.
"The conunittee will consist of
three members - maybe five. No
less than three. We like to have five
when it comes to a major coaching
position to be filled," he said.
The school principal said the hiring will be put to the committee members, who will meet with each applicant.
"I want to interview a minimum of
three and not over five," he said.
"Typically, I don't sit in on the
committees but I will this one."
Osborne said there are not any
"preconceived" candidates but that
he does want a person who is inhouse.
"I want that person to work here in
this building," he said. "This program needs that in the worse kind of
way."
Hopkins built a reputation while
coaching in the grade school ranks as
oneofthepremierelementarycoaches
in the region.
His Martin teams were consistentlyoneofthemore, if not the most,
feared teams in the region.
He gave up the Martin job to join
the staff of Johnny Ray Turner at
McDowell where he coached freshman and junior varsity basketball as
an assistant.
After the resignation of Cassandra
Akers, he assumed the head coaching
job of the McDowell girls midway of
the '92-93 season. He coached his
ftrst full year during '93-94 before
the school consolidated with Wheelwright.
At Martin, he won two county
championships and was runner-up
four times. Before coming to Martin
he was at Maytown. He won 143
games at Martin while losing 71.
Although he has resigned the position, Hopkins is still interested in
coaching again, but it would have to
be an ideal situation.
"Yes, I'm interested in coaching
again," he said. "If the right girls
program came along - but it would
have to be a special situation."
Hopkins said that he would take a
boys' coaching job regardless.
"I still feel that I am capable of
coaching," he stated. "I accomplished
some positive things at McDowell
and South Floyd. I wanted to have a
positive influence with the girls. I
wanted that and to teach them basketball techniques."
Principal Osborne said that he met
with next year's returning players
and told them what he expects from
them.
"I shared with them about how I
want them to stay focused and committed," he said. "I just want to see
the commitment level of those girls
coming back."
Osborne said that if that commitment is not there, then be would recommend that girls' basketball be
dropped at the school.
"I just want what's best for the
kids," he said. "If there are just four
or five committed, then that's not
enough."
The players' response?
"They all agreed. We need our

Hall will receive a scholarship
the ftrst year at Morehead and one

"We will be going to East Tennessee State for camp in August,"
she said. "Then we will practice

I just don't like losing at all."
Osborne said the situation had been
analyzed ahd that it no longer could
be ignored.
"I told the kids to give me seven or
eight who will make a commitment
to the program. I challenged them to
show me some leadership.
"These kids are not dumb. They
see what's going on," he said.
Osborne said that be has had calls
about the vacancy, but there will be
no rush to flll the position.
''No, we're not in a hurry to hire
anyone," he said. "We expect our
kids to be winners."
Although no names have been released as to who might be considered
for the job, two names, Barry Hall
and Henry Webb, have been mentioned around the community as possible candidates.
Hall is already an in-house teacher
who helped coach Jim Rose with the
boys' program last season. Webb
coached the McDowell boys' elementary team last season.
Coach Hopkins said that he would
just wait and see what develops.
"I'm just biding my time," he said.
''The girls' program here at Martin
will be open next year and I might try
that. I' II just keep busy."
Hopkins is thinking of revitalizing the junior pro varsity program
again at Martin.
Hopkins said that be bad no remorse toward anyone but thinks that
being out of coaching will be hard to
handle next year.
"I've thought of not being able to
coach next year," he said. "I'll miss

I wish them well."
If there is a positive outofalllhis,
it would be the pressure that has been

Robinson said that the
company that was to put the

"It has to be hot in order

Robinson. "Our grass
around the track where it
was hydro-seeded by CoalMac, is starting to come up.
The football field looks real

Robinson said that several fundraising events will
be forthcoming to raise the

As of yet, no other school
in Floyd County has offered
to help out with raising
money.
"Some feel that the facility is just for Allen Central,"
said Robinson. "But it's not
It's for every school in the
county."
High schools at Betsy
Layne, Prestonsburg and
South Floyd all have track
and field teams. Each school
should help with raising the
money for equipment if that
is the only way of getting
the funds.
But, I still contend that
the board of education
should foot the bill for the
equipment. Look around the
region. No other school district has to get out and raise
money. The school system
takes care of it.
This $18,000 (for equipment) is a one-time investment, an investment in our
kids and future track and
field participants.
Anyone who wishes to
donate to the program may
call Ina Robinson and I'm
sure that the gift would be
appreciated. All of you

Federal employees who spend
only a portion of their work day in the
Pikeville city limits have taken issue
with the amount ofoccupational taxes
they are required to pay.
Mark Bartley, an employee of the
Mine Safety and Health Administration at Ratfliffs Creek, appeared before Pikeville city commissioners
Monday night on behalfof some "dissatisfied city customers."
Bartley noted, however, that he
wasn't speaking on behalf of all
MSHA employees, and personally
had no problem with paying his taxes.
He requested that the city estab-

of you."
"Employees are caught in the
middle," he said.andneedsome "written guidelines."
"We don't really want to be dealing with the city attorney," he said.
"We want an appeals process we
could live by."
Mayor Steve Combs said the commission couldn•t redraft the occupational tax ordinance overnight, but
said it could be reviewed and any
recommended changes could bemade
during the next regular meeting.
Bartley also claimed that the city
"pressures" the MSHA office to turn
over information on employee time
cards, information he maintains is
"confidential" and "not available to
lish a formal grievance process for
occupational tax payers, similar to
the appeals process of other taxing
bodies such as the state Revenue

The federal government is not required to withhold local government
taxes so employees are required to
file occupational tax returns with the

MSHA' s time sheets, which have
codes for specific job functions, historically have been used to determine
how much time an employee works
in the city limits or out in the field.
Bartley said the codes do notalways fit every work situation, and
"do not directly reflect bow much
time we spend in the city ofPikeville."
"Nobody really knows except for
the problem.
anyone under the Freedom of Information Act."
City occupational tax officials are
currently auditing returns flled by
MSHA employees.
City Attorney Rusty Davis said
employees opposed to producing time
cards were "vague" as to the reason
why they don't want to produce time
cards to verify deductions.
Although the time cards are protected by theFreedom of Information
Act, Davis said employees have a
right to release the information.
"If that's a big problem, they can
file at 100 percent," he said.
City officialsrecently learned what
the codes on the time cards meant;
however, Davis wouldn't speculate
as to whether that knowledge created
A similar audit in 1988 resulted in
some MSHA employees "voluntarily" paying an additional $50,000 in
taxes. over what was originally
claimed, according to Davis.
"Some employees in past years
were not truthful and honest about
it," Davis said, and "substantially
abused that deduction."
Bartley said the department plans
to start using electronic time sheets.
and asked city officials to determine
what documentation employees
would need to produce.
"If it's not what you turned into
the federal government, it won't be
satisfactory to me," Davis said. "I've
already seen what you turned in before."

Paintsville Herald Editor
Fundraising is picking up for a
planned medical school in Paintsville,
but organizers are far from the $1
million needed before a July 1 deadline.
The Southern College of Osteopathic Medicine has raised $276,311
in contributions and pledges, according to the latest tally from school
officials. Nearly half the donations
have come from Johnson County.
Paintsville attorney Chad Perry,
secretary of the school's board of
trustees, said Tuesday that he felt
"pretty good" about the fundraising
efforts so far.
'They could be better," he said.
"but I'm not downhearted."
Three weeks ago, Perry said
Paintsville was in jeopardy of losing
the school to Pikeville or Hazard if
more Johnson Countians did not support the project. Since then, contributions from the county have begun to
trickle in.
Donationsfrom Paintsville include
$10,000 from Mitchell and Eula
Preston, who have also pledged
$10,000 for the next two years; Citizens National Bank, which has
pledged a total of $25,000, to be paid

Pikeville to stay in garbage business
Pikeville city businesses that use
dumpsters for trash collection may
see a rate increase soon.
Pikeville CityCommissioners discussed the need for the increase during a regular meeting Monday night,
and later heard the ftrst reading of an
amendment to the current solid waste
ordinance. A second reading of the
amendment is set for the next regular
meeting May 22.
The city currently charges its 173
customers $2.50 per cubic yard to use
dumpsters.
The rate will increase to $3.75 per
cubic yard. a fee city officials said
was still below rates of $4 to $6 other
companies or municipalities charge
for the same service regionally.
"Ihate to pass any kind ofincrease
in services, but the commerctal services are so far below the norm," said
Mayor Steve Combs.
"We have to be realistic. We can't

go on charging that low, providing
this type of service."
The rate increase is the result of
thecity'sdecisiononwhetheritwould
stay in the garbage business or contract the service out.
Garbage pickup is currently contracted through PSG, which uses the
city's equipment, but supplies the
man-power.
Following a$65,000deficitin the
soli wastedepartmentlastyear, City
Manager John Johnson began researching alternatives to reduce costs,
including advertising for bids to allow a private company to take over
garbage collection.
Two companies, Rumpke and
LeRon Industries, bid on all collection services, with estimates coming
in higher than the current rates for
residential pickup. small and large
businesses and dumpsters.
The city also circulated resident
surveys. asking customers if theywere
satisfied with the current service or if
they would like other options.
Results of the resident surveys
showed the majority of customers
were happy with the service they
were getting.
City residents currently pay $10
per month for biweekly trash removal.
To stay in the garbage business,
Johnson said the dumpster rate had to
be increased.
The rate increase will help the city
purchase $167,000 in new solid waste
equipment
Tom Bacon, Public Works project
manager for PSG, said the equipment
currently in use needs constant repair, and workers have welded until
there's nothing left to weld.
On Monday, the commission approved the purchase of a high-capacity truck atacostof$67,000, a rebuilt
packer at $12,500 and approved
tain.
Pikeville residents last saw a rate
increase three or four years ago, then
the ftrst in 10 years.
The rate in~ was determined
then by costs associated with utilizing the county's new landfill.
The estimated fee of $15 per ton to
dump at the landfill never materialized, according to Johnson, and instead the city has always paid $22.50
per ton.

Isaac trial set for July 20
The trial for Lawrence County preacher Gallie Isaac
Sr., will begin on July 20, Judge Stephen "Nick" Frazier
ruled Friday.
Isaac, 78, is under indictment on charges of sexually
abusing and sodomizing young boys who attended the
Isaac Park Free Baptist Church where he is pastor. He
faces 18 felony counts of sodomy, one count of criminal
attempt to commit sodomy, two felony counts of sexual
abuse and eight misdemeanor counts of sexual abuse.
A motion to bold separate trials was filed by Isaac's
attorney, Eldred E. "Bud" Adams. No decision on the
motion has been issued.
Adams argued that if all the charges were tried in one
trial, it would unfairly make Isaac appear to be a bad
person because of the nmnber of counts against him.
Prosecuting attorney Luke Morgan said if separate
trials were given for each alleged victim, then it would
come down to Isaac's word against the alleged victim's.
'"There's strength in numbers," Morgan said.
Morgan told the judge that the jury needed to hear the
scope of the crimes Isaac is charged with.
Earlier this month, Frazier denied a motion by M<Xgan
to move the trial to another county, but said be would
leave the door open if more evidence was presented.
Police nab fugitive in Lawrence
A West Virginia fugitive was captured at his aunt's

Kentucky State Police Public Relations Officer Gary
Kistner said Arthur was apprehended, after they received
a call informing them of his whereabouts, without incidence with the help of the Lawrence COWlty Sherifrs
Department
He was taken to the Big Sandy Regional Detention
Center where be is being held on a $25,000 cash bond.

�Three men in recent months have been ordered by
judges to continue child support payments even though
none is the father of the child he's been involuntarily
supporting. Blood tests exonerated men in Ramsey
County, Millll., and Talbot County, Md., and a
Baltimore mother admitted that she committed peijury
in identifying a man as her child's father. In each case,
however, appeals courts (in Maryland in October and
Minnesota in March) ruled that state law requires that
the men continue to make the payments
SEEDS OF OUR DESTRUCTION
-- At a book-signing appearance in Tampa, Fla., in
July, astronaut Alan Shepard refused the request of
John Williams, 55, to sign a photograph, telling the
man he would sign only purchased copies of his new
book on the space program. The photograph Shepard
refused to sign was a 1961 shot of Williams, then a
helicopter crewman, pulling Shepard out of the
Atlantic Ocean after his Mercury capsule splashed
down on America's flrst manned space mission.
-- Last fall, the resume of the newly appointed
Mexican secretary of education, Fausto Alzati, was
challenged in the press. Alzati claimed to have a
doctorate from Harvard, but his offlce later conceded
that he had only a master's degree in public administration from Harvard. A month later, his offlce said
that actually, he did not have even a bachelor's degree.
In January, Alzati resigned, admitting that he was
expelled from the second grade for bad behavior.
-- In September, the Air Quality Management
District covering Los Angeles and surrounding
counties imposed regulations on restaurants that cook
fat, contending that they release nine times more soot
particles than all the region's buses. Restaurants would
have three years to reduce emissions to the equivalent
released by cooking about 500 quarter-pound hamburgers per day.
-- Last year, residents of an area near Renton,
Wash., grew weary of the state's three-year planning
and permitting process for renovating a dangerous
highway intersection. Six neighbors, using private
equipment and money, built their own tum lane on the
highway in December. The state transportation agency

-- In January, Mathew Panak, president of the

--In March, U.S. astronaut Norman Thagard agreed
to follow Russian cosmonaut customs in their joint

the bus that takes them to the launch pad.
-- In September, a Rotterdam businessman announced his company would start local home delivery

includes lobbying for liberalization of drug laws and
providing counseling for drug abusers.

The Goose is loose in Lexington
Goose
Creek
Symphony
"I think that in one form
or another I have been
listening to Goose Creek
music all my life. When I
was a little guy sitting
behind the neck of my uncle
Joe's acoustic guitar I got
quite a kick out of him
singing through his nose and
attempting to imitate cuts
from the flrst Goose Creek
album. Later in life I was
exposed to Goose Creek
music through fellow
mttsicians who worshipped
the band's material...Those
of us at The Times were
treated to a really special
event. ..when Charlie
Gearheart ...performed two
Goose Creek Symphony
songs (one old and one new)
right here in my
offlce ...Honestly, I don't
think that a personal visit
from Elvis could have been
more exciting." (Floyd
County Times, Tim Preston,
1990)
Goose Creek Symphony will be performing at the
historic Lexington Opera House on Saturday, May 13.
Doors open at 7 p.m. Music will start at 8 p.m.
Reserved seating is available in advance through
Ticketmaster.
Also appearing will be the Trailer Park Troubadours
and the Lexington Strauss Quartet.
Featuring Goose Creek Hollow, Floyd County
native Charlie Gearheart, Goose Creek's music has
best been described as a "symphonic hoedown" ... a
freewheeling, free-spirited, high-energy celebration ...
a joyous musical adventure, that touches old and young
alike- embracing people of diverse ages, backgrounds and musical tastes.
1995 celebrates the 25th anniversary of Goose
Creek Symphony's Capitol Records debut release,
their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, a headline
slot at the Atlanta Pop Festival, (along with Jimi
Hendrix and the Allman Brothers) ... and the release of
their brand new "live" album recorded in October
1994.
The same spirit that drove his.band in 1970 is in its
full glory on this collection of musical treasures. The
double CD spans over two decades of musical history.
The new songs demonstrate a writing style constantly
evolving-the oldies are as relevant now as when they
were lovingly penned by leader/founder Charlie
Gearheart.
Gearheart flrst performed on American Bandstand
in 1959 as a teenager under the name of Ritchie Hart
and the Heartbeats. This witty young songwriter
moved on to form Goose Creek Symphony in the late
'60s with his guitarist buddy and fellow Beatles fanatic
Paul "the Pearl" Spradlin. With Goose Creek,
Gearheart created a unique style of music that was as
true to his Appalachian upbringing as it was to his
experiences playing jazz, rock and even in the military
marching band.
A Goose Creek song is a musical journey, traversing passages and movements as an orchestra
would... thus the term "Symphony." This freewheeling,
free-spirited party set to music has been described by
fans as a "symphonic hoedown" while The Tennessean
recently proclaimed it " ...folk rock on steroids."
Indeed, as an explorer would venture away from camp
into uncharted territory to later return with his discov
The end of innocence
it."
J. R. just stood in the middle of the floor shaking his
head at us. He couldn't understand our reaction to his
"coming of age ceremony." Yet, he didn't know what
parents know or
he might not be
so nonchalant
about leaving
high school and
going out into
that big world on
Sara Hopson his own. Unluck~....,;~--.o------- ily for J. R.,
Jimmie and I thought that this would be a good time to
remind him of what his future held.
"Son, life is not easy. Even though college life is
fun, from here on out you have to start preparing for
the real world. And it's hard at best. There are some
good times, but there are bad times, too. And sometimes the bad times outweigh the good, so if you're not
prepared to handle the worst...it's a jungle."
''That's right, J. R.," I inteijected. "It can be alL
uphill from now on, but it's a long hill to climb if you
don't keep your head up and keep plugging."
"J. R., we know that we might sound pessimistic,
but we're really just being realistic. You'lllook back
one day and see that what we've told you is true. Do
you understand?" Jinunie asked.
J. R. didn't reply immediately. He just stood there
staring at us blankly for several minutes before
saying, "You all are just trying to build me up, aren't
you? You're trying to make me feel better about
leaving home and setting out on my own. Gee, you're
all super about this whole thing. I'm sure glad I'll be
getting out there in the real world where more bad
things happen than good. Yes, sir. I'm really looking
forward to that," he said sarcastically.
Jimmie and I looked at each other and hung our
heads. Perhaps we had laid it on a bit thick. A high
school graduation was an exciting thing for a teenager, a rite of passage. Yet we had unwittingly
succeeded in deflating our son's enthusiasm.
"J. R.," Jimmie said apologetically. "We're sorry
if we made it sound as if life is going to be rough. It's
Our son brought a package home the other day and
threw it down in front of us on t!le coffee table. It was
an ordinary looking rectangular-shaped, plasticwrapped package, but what it contained was less than
ordinary.
"What's that?" my husband asked.
"My cap and gown," our son replied
"Oh, Lord," Jimmie said sourly.
"J. R., we haven't even eaten yet. How could you
be so insensitive to bring those things in the house
before supper?" I asked.
"You all are crazy!" he yelled. "It's just a cap and
gown. Everybody that is graduating got one."
"Sara, get me an aspirin. He said that 'G' word,"
Jimmie nervously asked.
"I can't get up. My knees are so shaky they won't
hold me," I weakly replied. "It can't be happening this
fast. It seems like just last week he wanted a Sega
Genesis game."
"It was last week," my husband cried. "That's why
I can't believe he's going to be gra, gra... I can't say
Smile
Awhile
(See Goose, B 7)
(See Smile, B 7)
Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...
It's been a while since we've updated
you on the livestock situation here at the
old homestead.
But it's spring ...the birds are chirping,
the frogs are burping, the lizards are leaping and the arachnids are creeping.
Yes, we did say arachnid ... as in
spider... and it's a biggin'.
Our resident zoologist, who at age seven
knows more about creepy creatures than
most professional pest control experts,
has put a little variety in our lives with his
latest collector's item...a Zebra Tarantula
that, depending on whose doing the describing, is ~ther the size ofa silver-dollar
pancake or Silver Dollar City.
For those of us who finnly believe that
the only good spider is a dead spider, size
is no object. It's the number of legs that
counts.
Anyway, this particular critter lives in
it's own glass terrarium which allows the
interested observer the opportunity to
watch it in its almost natural habitat if you
get close enough to peek through the tiny
slits left after we secured the lid, sides and
bottom with enough duct tape to make the
Mummy look like it was wearing just a
Band Aid®.
Can't be too careful, you know.
Plus, the spider, terrarium and duct tape
are all spending the final weeks of school
in our son's second grade classroom, where
arachniphobia is less worrisome than
recessniphobia...the fear of losing recess
time for failing to get classwork done
properly and on time.
Seven and eight-year-olds have their
priorities, and most would eat a taral}tula
before losing any break time.
While the spider is the most exotic addition to our household, there is also a pair of
rather innocuous salamanders, a warty
toad which resides on our staircase and, of
course Midge the Ferocious, our Scottish
Terror (that's no typo).
Midge is our most prized pet possession
because, despite being only about 12 inches
tall, she protects our household from birds,
cats and the garbage truck when she can
take time away from her busy schedule of
eating, sleeping and burying toys in the
couch cushions.
Sure hope she never considers that spider to be a toy.
Circle of Friends
Back in the 1950s, so I'm told, the conventional
wisdom held that pretty girls were generally dumb and
smart girls were generally homely. Of course, just to
suggest that these days is enough to get one accused of
being a sexist pig!
This fllm, set in the 1950s, is a bit of a takeoff on
that old wives' tale. Minnie Driver portrays Benny, a
teenage girl living in Ireland who is attending Dublin's
Trinity College with her two best friends, Eve and
Nan. Nan is the looker of the bunch.
All three girls worship the popular and handsome
star of the school rugby team, Jack Foley (Chris
O'Donnell). Naturally, it is Nan to whom he is frrst
drawn. As time goes on, however, he fmds himself
attracted more and more to Benny because of her
quick wit and sharp mind. Before she even knows
what's happening, Benny and Jack are an item. No
one is more surprised than she.
Meanwhile, Eve gets involved with another school
chum and Nan, spumed by Jack, goes after Simon,
who is from a wealthy British family. Simon (Peter
Firth) is somewhat older and worlds more sophisticated than the simple village girl, but it doesn' t take
long before Nan is plotting and scheming like a real
pro.
It is Nan's actions which eventually jeopardize her
friendship with Benny and Benny's romance with
Jack. In addition to that, a local villager, portrayed by
Alan Cumming, is pursuing Benny because he hopes
to get his hooks into Benny's family store.
Minnie Driver, as the beleaguered Benny, is
positively captivating in her performance. Not to be
outdone, Chris O'Donnell ("Scent of a }\'oman") is
excellent, despite the fact that he's an American
portraying an Irishman with a brogue and he doesn't
really play rugby. The chemistry between the two, not
to mention the wonderful story itself, is breathtaking.
You'll fmd this fllm to be what I call a "keeper."
It's warm and memorable and I recommend it highly.

Goose-----------------eries, Charlie, (armed with an arsenal
offiddle players, guitarists, saxophonists, bassist and drummer) boldy departs from his bluegrass "home base"
to probe the adventurous boundary
waters of improvisation.
The phenomenon of the "Goose
Head" is as much a part of Goose
Creek's lore as the music. The "live"
album, recorded over the course of
three sold-out shows at Chattanooga's
MarketStreetPerformanceHall, spotlights a magnificent manifestation of
the Heads. The group's loyal following-including individuals of all ages,
backgrounds and musical tastestraveled great distances to cheer on
lheir heroes. Often singing louder
than the band was playing, or joining
inmassivecbantsof"Goose! Goose!
Goose!" the enthusiasm of the crowd
serves as testament to Charlie's wonderfully wry sense of humor, profound wisdom, and uncanny ability
to exchange emotion with an audience.
Charles Gearheart was born and
raised in a tiny place in eastern Kentucky called Goose Creek Hollow.
As this young hilJbilly became more
worldly, be quickly gained a global
perspective on life. In keeping with
this, his musical scope grew to include big band, jazz and rock.
Gearheart never lost touch with his
roots, or his deep-seated love for
mountain music. He certainly never
forgot how to fish, and after four
years and four major label releases
with Goose Creek Symphony (three
on Capitol Records, one on Columbia) Gearheart decided to put down
his Martin acoustic and pick up his
fly rod.
Gearheart and his Symphony reemerged in 1990. They released a
new album, OSO Special, (named
after a fishing fly) on the independent
folk label June Appal. Capitol
Records released a compilation disc,
Higher on the Mountain, the same
year.
Since that time, things have come
full circle. Charlie's creation is more
vital than ever, while Paul continues
to lend his invaluable contribution as
songwriter, co-arranger, harmony
singer and guitar slinger. With a talented new line-up of musicians joining the two original "Creekers," the
music has achieved new heights. The
recently-penned tune "The Goose is
Loose" reflects his revitalized energy and spirit, while the song "The
<continued fromB9>
20 years from now when the com
won't grow?"
(From Welcome To Goose Creek/
Capitol Records 1971)
Goose Creek Symphony performances are populated by bolh the
band's long standing, devoted fans as
well as the rapidly growing masses of
new Goose Creek devotees. At a recent gig near the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tn., a wildly
enlhusiastic young new fan expressed
to Charlie the powerful and widespread appeal of Goose Creek. "You·
guys are awesome...more awesome
than Metallica, and I've seen lhem
four times!"
It seems quality songwriting and
inspired perfonnance can still flourish after 25 years, countless musical
trends...and even a fishing trip or
two.
WORDS ENDING IN "DENT"
Com Won't Grow So Rock and Roll"
demonstrates Charlie's vision even
20-some years ago.

if all that happens, you might get a
good son like we got. And someday

East Ky. Stars
4-H Club off to
a shooting start
by Erin Kiser
Music winner
South Floyd students Jamie Hall and Earl Wright won first place with the son~, "Black Gold of Kentucky,"
written by Debbie Derosett, a teacher from Prestonsburg Elementary. Also takmg second place honors for
South Floyd was Carl Bentley, who composed and performed "Coal Mining Blues."
South Floyd High coal celebration
by Willie Elliott
Coal bas played a big part in the
lives of the citizens of Left Beaver
and will continue to influence our
lives one way or another for years to
come. With a grant from the CEDAR
corporation, the faculty and students
at South Floyd Higb School did a
variety of activities to learn about
coal, its history in the area, and the
economic impact it had on our communities. WewaTJtedtolearnall these
things about coal, but we also wanted
to learn about the culture that came
with the various periods of mining.
The various classes began to find
out about coal. Lora Bolen and her
Kentucky Studies Class took a trip to
Kentucky Power Company's generating plant at Louisa. These students
leamedagreatdealabouthowcoalis
converted to electricity and sent to
our various homes and businesses.
The students also learned about the
economics of coal and electricity.
After returning from the trip, the class
used the infonnation for class discussian and writing. They also used some
of the material from the trip to decorate classroom doors using coal as a
theme.
The music department, under the
directionofDennisBartley, was given
the task of providing "mining" music
for our celebration of coal. The students discussed various types of songs
that are associated with coal. Carl
Bentley and Doug Tackett composed
original songs which they played for
us.. Amanda Compton sang "Coal
Miner's Daughter" and Oscar Little
and Carl Bentley sang traditional
songs that told of the hardships faced
by miners.
BillieJo Stegall and the art department provided many displays about
mining. They created a portal complete with a car filled with coal and a
safety inspector looking over the
miner and his "buggy." To impress
viewers that coal is a fossil fuel, they
created a giant dinosaur and plant
display. Some of the students painted
replicas ofold familiar mining tipples.
Others chose to do pen and ink or
charcoal illustrations about coal.
There was competition between
the classes for displays. The junior
class turned one hallway into a simulated mine. Using garbage bags and a
great deal of imagination, the students created a mine that students
had to pass through daily. The freshman class decorated the upper floor
of the school with drawings, posters,
and other displays on many facets of
mining.
One group of students under the
direction of Bud Reynolds took a
look at the surface mining practices
and reclamation process in this area.
They were able to tour a large-scale
operation at Burdine in Letcher
County and do some filming. With
the help of Steven Blevins, they were
able to visit and do some filming at
the site reclaimed by Costain Coal at
I vel. These student<; have begun to
realize that surface mining can take
place without the destruction of the
environment.
Mrs. Doris Osborne and her politica1 science class looked at some of
the legal aspects of mining. They
brought in various speakers from
MSHAA to talk about safety in the
mines. They did charts and posters to
display their finding.
Someofthestudentsinth~Ameri
canS tudies Class did a video in which
they traced the history of Wheel•. :right from a .;mall rural community
to a model mining camp and back to
its present status. Other members of
the class prepared a skit in which they
compared mining in the old days to
mining in modem times.
All these activities were capped
off by a dinner theater. Local miners,
young and old, were invited to join in
our celebration. The dinner theater
was a wonderful success. The students, using some dramatic license,
presented skits based on their interviews with the older miners in the
area. With some pre-arrangement,
they involved these guests into the
skit. The guests-Raymond
Bradbury, B uri Scott, Woodrow Dye,
Luther Hall, Talt Johnson, James
Paige, and others added so much to
the program that the reaction was
wonderful. Nostalgia filled the room
as these guests reminisced about their
experiences in the mines and discussed the photographs of old familiar places which the students had
used as part of the decor for the
evening. Those is attendance, from
Dr. Towler, superintendentofFloyd
County Schools, to Commissioner of
Mines, Burl Scott, seemed to enjoy
the experience. The event was topped
off with a delicious meal prepared by
Gwinetta Mitchell and her catering
class. The guests also enjoyed the
music prepared by the music department.
Our principal, Mr. AI Osborne,
was impressed with the student presentation and had the students present
the program to the whole student
body at South Floyd. Again the group
received an enthusiastic response.
Several faculty members and a
large number of students took part in
this celebration of coal, but we must
give special recognition to Delores
Woody who kept the project going
and did all the necessary work to
make sure the program came off just
as it did.
Forensics at AMS

there again before the appropriate
council and then it passed before the
General Assembly.
Adams Middle had one proposal

Protest caravan to converge on courthouse
by Susan Allen
Staff Writer
In what is being described as a
plea for help, a group of Floyd
Countians are planning to converge
on the Floyd County Courthouse
Saturday morning in a protest
against alleged local government
corruption.
Recent reports that approximately $800,000 in 911 funds are
missing and that $2.5 million in
solid waste "user fees" were unaccounted for are the reasons for
Saturday's event, according to a
written release from the group.
In the press release, organizers
say that they hope to gain the attention of law enforcement agencies in
an effort "to finally do something
about corruption" in Floyd County.
Carolyn Rowe, who is the
spokesperson for the group, could
not be reached to comment on who
the organizers are or why they
chose to march on the courthouse
on Saturday, when most workers
and county officials are not in their
offices.
"'rganizers of the event say
their pleas for help against corruption in their county have fallen on
deaf ears in Frankfort... ," the
release said "(We) would like the
entire Floyd County Fiscal Court
investigated, including County
Attorney Jim Hammond. In addition, (we) would like an answer to
the missing $26,000 in tax money

office..."
Last month, newly-appointed

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
A break with
tradition?
by Scott Perry
"There will never be a really
free and enlightened State until
the State comes to recognize the
individual as a higher and independent power, from which all
its own power and authority are
derived... "
More than a hundred years
after those words were written,
Floyd Countians appear ready
to practice what author Henry
David Thoreau preached...
Civil disobendience.
In 1849, Thoreau was jailed
briefly for refusing to pay taxes
in protest of the Mexican War.
That experience led him to
pen the essay "Civil Disobedience," which railed against government omnipotence and encouraged public dissent
In modern terms, civil disobedience means, "we're mad as
hell and we're not going to take
it anymore."
That pretty well sums up a

growing attitude among Floyd
Countians, some of whom are
planning to march on the county
courthouse this Saturday.
What they hope to accomplish
by such a public display of protest is significant, but not nearly
as significant as the fact that a
public showing of civil disobedience is occurring at all.
You see, history dictates that
nice Floyd Countians, like children, are to be seen, not heard,
and they are expected to be seen
only when necessary...usually
at the polls, where they are expected to provide the necessary
support for the chosen ones.
Lately, though, it appears that
more and more Floyd Countians
are flunking history.
Maybe they're rewriting it
Or maybe they're just reliving
it, Thoreau-style.
In his book Walden, Thoreau
noted that "the mass ofmen lead
lives of quiet desperation."
Perhaps not so quietly anymore.
Editor:
I wish to direct this letter to Mr.
John Earl Hunt, Commonwealth Attorney for Floyd County.
The citizens of Floyd county have
been swindled out of approximately
$1 million in the fraudulent 911
project. By the fiscal court's own
admission, the project was never
voted on nor authorized as an ordinance. Yet, they illegally directed the
several telephone companies that
serve Floyd County to collect a surcharge from each telephone subscriber in the county.
This fraud was kept alive for five
years by lies, misstatements, and
unkept promises. Only toy or pretend
work was ever accomplished on the
project. Now, the money is gonevanished!
The citizens of Floyd County believe that these several acrs by the
fiscal court constitute malfeasance,
misfeasance, nonfeasance and probable covert criminal activity.
We therefore request that you, as
Commonwealth Attorney for Floyd
County, initiate such action as required to remove the incwnbentmembers responsible for this fraud from
office. If you do not wish to perform
this duty of your office, please vacate
it so that it may be filled by someone
bo will. The free ride is over in
Floyd County!

April is Child Abuse Prevention
Month. Each of us should make a
personal commitment to find ways to
end this tragedy. Last year more than
24,877 children were involved in substantiated abuse cases in Kentucky.
The National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, the Kentucky
Council on Child Abuse, Department
for Social Services and the Pres tonsburg Elementary Family Resource
Center are calling on local organizalions-professional, business, religious, volunteer and including parents, teachers, counselors, social
workers, neighbors, friends, business
owners and relatives to make a personal commibnent to intervene where
necessary to prevent child maltreatment.
36 consecutive months, Kentucky's
unemployment rate has been below
the national average.
• In 1994 Kentucky's annual unemployment rate was 5.4%, the lowest yearly rate in Kentucky in approximately 20 years. Compare that
with the 1994 national average of 6.1
%, and you'll see Kentucky is doing
much better than the rest of the country.

good news
in Kentucky
Editor:
One thing I have learned as Govemor is that bad news usually travels
a lot faster than good news. As I talk
with Kentuckians, I am often surprisedthatsomanypeopledon'tknow
about some of the good things that
are going on right now that affect
Floyd County and the rest of the
Commonwealth. That's why I'd like
to share some of those with you here.
• Kentucky currently enjoys its
lowest period of unemployment in
more than two decades. The latest
statistics show :Kentucky's unemploymentrateforFebruarywas5.5%,
the lowest February rate in 21 years.
That compares with the national unemployment rate of 5_9%. In fact, for
• The problem is, the jobs aren't
evenly distributed throughout the
state. In Floyd County, the 1994 unemployment rate was 7.6%. That's
why our Economic Development
Cabinet has been diligently working
to attract new companies to Kentucky and to keep existing businesses
here. So far, the record of the Economic Development Cabinet speaks
for itself: More new jobs were ereated in 1994 than in any year in history. In addition, more than 177,000
more people are employed today than
when we took office. People in the
Economic Development Cabinet are
detennined to continue to attract new
jobs to the areas of the state that need
them the most.
• Our economic development efforts are attracting national attention.
According to Site Selection Magazinc, only two states created more
new jobs than Kentucky for every
one million in population from
1992-1994. Kentucky also ranked
founh nationally in the number of
new facilities and expansions during
this period.
• More people with jobs means
more people are paying taxes. This
has helped Kentucky achieve irs best
fmancial outlook in modem times.
We will pass along to the nextadministration a "rainy day" fund of $100
million, the largest such reserve in
history. This is especially noteworthy when you recall that when we
took office, the state's fmances were
in such sad shape that for two years
we had to delay sending out tax refund checks because they would have
bounced!
• While we have more people
working in the private sector, we
have fewer people working in state
government. We have downsized
government, eliminating more than
1700 permanent full-time positions
through attrition. This bas saved the
Commonwealth more than $40 million a year_
• We have reduced by 10% the
number of Kentuckians on welfare.
We haven'tjust cut them off. Instead,
we have worked with them to gain
new skills to get good jobs. This bas
saved the state more than $25 million
tunity to address the needs of Big
Sandy residents, which may be
totally different from the social
needs elsewhere in the state.
In math, that process is called
reducing to the lowest common
denominator.
In general, it's just called common sense.
April is Child Abuse Prevention
Month and an appropriate time
for all us moms and dads to step
back and take an objective look
at how we treat our kids.
Child abuse comes in many
forms and we've all been guilty of
it at one time or another.
While we most often associate
abuse with acts of violence or
cases of neglect, we can do great
Break
harm to young minds and bodies
without getting physical at all.
When we expect too rnuch and
criticize too often, we deliver psychological blows that can leave
wounds that never heal. When
we overindulge our kids, they often have difficult times making it
on their own.
It's hard to be a parent these
days.
It's hard to be a kid, too.
It's a pressure cooker out there.
If we can find a way to let off
some steam without scalding one
another in the process, we'll all
be a whole lot better for it.
And preventing child abuse will
be no problem at all.
Maybe we're too deep in the
backwoods to grasp this foreign
policy business, but it sure seems
awful silly for our country to be
supplying billions of dollars in aid
to Russia while Russia sells billions of dollars worth of nuclear
technology to Iran, whose motto
in Arabic translates to something
like "Armageddon R Us."
It's not like Iran needs nuclear
reactors to produce energy ...the
country has enough oil to float
Texas ... so we must assume that
the technology will be used to
further the country's professed
desire to rain hellfire and brimstone on all us infidels.
Of course with Russia's nuclear
track record (see Chernobyl in
your handy World Atlas), maybe
we only have to worry about meltdown instead of a nuclear arsenal.
That should contaminate just

If the responsibility for administering social welfare programs is
going to be delegated to the states
as Congress is suggesting, it
would appear that state governments have a lot of work to do to
prepare for that possibility.
Logic would suggest that social
programs would be most effective when they are developed with
specific goals in mind and to meet
specific needs of specific areas.
In that respect, Kentucky could
develop a model for the nation by
using a network already in place.
The state's area development
districts provide an existing foundation for the design and implementation of social programs that
can be tailor-made to meet a
region's particular needs.
Such an approach would give
the Big Sandy region the oppor-

-Letters to the editor---a year.
• All of these facts, taken together,
gave us the ability to cut taxes. As
you may recall, we called a special
session of the legislature in January
to phase out the inheritance tax and
the tax on private pensions. When
these tax cuts are fully implemented,
we will have gone from having the
highest inheritance tax in the country
to being tied for the lowest; and we
will have eliminated pension taxes
for the vast majority of Kentuckians.
Recent polls show that a majority
of Kentuckians have confidence in
their government I wanted to share
this good news to let you know that
your confidence is well-placed.l also
want you to know that we will not
stop working until the last minute of
the last day we're in office. Kentuckians deserve nothing less.

A shiny, ''superba'' meal!
by Dr. John G. Shiber
Have you ever said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whale"? Why not
say, "I'm so hungry, J couldeataton
of KRll.L"? That is probably what
baleen whales would say, ifthey could
talk.
Way down in Antarctica exists a
small, sbrimplike animal, called the
krill. Its scientific name is Euphausia
(Greek for "shiny") superba This
crustacean, whichisoneofthesmallest animals in the world, averaging
only about 1 1/2-2 inches (3-5 centimeters) long, is the staple food for the
world's largest animal-the blue
whale (and other baleen whales as
well). Each summer, blue whales
swim to Antarctica and there feast on
krill. By means of the 300 or so horny
plates of whalebone (baleen) which
hang down from the roof of their
mouths, they filter the krill out of the
vast quantities of water they take in
as they swim. Once enough krill and
other plankton has gotten caught up
in the baleen, the whale wipes them
off with its tongue and swallows them.
Some whales consume as much as
four tons of krill each day!
But krill is not the staple food of
baleen whales only. Twenty species
of squid, 120 species of fish, 35 species of birds (chiefly penguins), and 7
species of seals eat krill too. In fact,
all animal species living in Antarctica are in some way dependent upon
krill for their survival. They either eat
krill directly, or feed on animals which
eat it
Krill themselv~ eat plankton
(free-floating organisms, such as
microscopic algae, protmoans, crustaceans, fish eggs, larvae, etc...). Between October and February, plankton is particularly abundant, and this
is when krill eat the most. It is their
time to feasL..before they become
the feast for the whales!
Scientists believe that krill re~mble the primitive animals which,
over time, gave rise to shrimp and
other decapod crustaceans. Unlike
shrimp, though, krill have 8 pairs of
legs, not 5, all of which have feathery
gills. Also, krill are "bioluminescent",
which means they are able to produce
and give off their own light. Hence,
their name Euphausia (shiny). This
bioluminescence might play a role in
species or mate recognition, but it is
not known for sure. It is known, how-
Many species of krill (there are
about 85 worldwide) travel together
in enonnous "clouds" or "swarms",
which can extend over an area equal
to several city blocks and 15-20 feet
(5 meters) in depth. Hence, when a
whale takes in a lot of water, it is
bound to take in an abundance of
krill, too.
Before the moratorium on whaling in 1986, the whale population of
the world bad severely diminished,
due to over-exploitation. Many species of whales are starting to recover
their numbers, while many are still
on the brink of extinction. For example, as of 1994, the population of
southern blue whales did not seem to
be recovering. This has aeated a
change in what species consume the
most krill in Antarctica. Now, seals,
penquins, and smaller baleen whales
have replaced the large baleen whales
as the chief krill-eaters, which, in
turn, has increased their numbers.
The over-abundance of krill, the biomass of wbicb probably equals the
entire world harvest of other marine
animals, bas also begun to involve
man. Norway, Japan, and Russia are
currently working on ways in which
to market krill, since, they figure,
100-200 million tons could be barvested each year. But, they are not
sure how they could process it ..as
food
for
humans
and
animals? ...fertilizer? ...bait?.. .It is,
apparently, quite costly to catch and
process. Pre~ntly, Russian trawlers
crush and press krill to extract protein from its juice which they use to
enrich other foods.
If man were to harvest krill on a
full-scale basis, what would it do to
the ecosystem of the Antarctic?
Would we be competing with the
animals which are indigenous to that
area? You can see how important
krill is and how many othez animals
depend upon it If we were to harvest
krill, would we be responsible for
further species extinction? As it is,
man' sdestruction of the atmospheric
ozone layez po~s a threat to the Antarctic ecosystem, especially the krill.
Clearly, we must have foresight on
whatimpactouractivitiesmighthave
in a given ecosystem before we embark on them. We must protect
biodiversity! Krill may seem insignificant, yet it literally supports an
entire ecosystem with a "shiny,
ever, that krill are among the most superba meal", thus maintaining

in the world.
Between January and March, krill
lay eggs on the surface waters of the
Antarctic ocean. The eggs sink to
about 2500 feet (750 meters), where
they hatch as larvae. As the larvae

Editor:
On behalf of the Community Biology Club, I would like, through
your newspaper, to thank all those
people who helped to make our activities possible and. hence, successful and enjoyable.
The Community Biology Club
(CBC) came into being about two
years ago, when several families and
teachers in the area expressed an interest in having monthly science activities for their children. There are
no officers in the club. I just arrange
an activity and people bring their
children, whenever they can, to participate. Everyone in thecommunityis
always encouraged to attend any and
all of the activities, which are free,
educational and. we hope, fun.
If it bad not been for Mr. Robert
Campbell and his staff, particularly
Karen Houston, at PCC's CFJCS
Office, tbisclubmay have never come
to fruition. With their help, I am always able to provide materials and
supplies promptly for each activity,
plus have flyers sent out to regular
CBC members, science teachers,
school children, and others, telling
them about the semester's CBC involvements. Mr. CampbeU's positive attitude and continuous support
has been an incentive forme, making
it easier to come up with new ideas
with which to interest and educate
the children of our area.
Furthermore, Janice Shepherd of
your newspaper, and Tony Fyffe of
the Paintsville Herald have beer. very
helpful by publishing all the little
notices and articles we write to announce CBC activities and desaibe
their outcome. They are also very
cooperative in publishing the educational articles I write about wildlife
and the importance of protecting its
diversity.
This semester, during the CBC
5-week video series on the Birds of
North America, Winn-Dixie, Big
Lots, and Foodland of Prestonsburg,
plus the Paintsville Wal-Mart, generously provided pop and cookies for
the participants. These videos, while
beautiful, were also lengthy, so the
children really enjoyed having these
refreshments available. In addition,
K-Mart's "Good News Club" and
Regina's T -Shirts Unlimited of
Paintsville, should be especially acknowledged. The "GoodNews Club"
donated T -shirts and Regina's decorated them with a colorful CBC-PCC
logo, showing an imprint of the w

�The Floyd County Time..;
Floyd County students will
gather to make music on KET
Seldom have so much adolescent
energy and so many varied and joyful
noises been packed into one hour of
television. We Gather to Make Music does just that when it airs on KET
at 9 p.m. Monday, April 10. It features the state's finest young musicians, including students from Allen
Central, Betsy Layne and Prestonsburg high schools in highlights from
the annual Kentucky All-State Concert.
In February at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville, more
than 600 high school students, all
selected by regional auditions, performed in seven separate groups.
'These included three choruses, an
orchestra, a concert band, a symphonic band, and a jan ensemble.
No student could be in more than one
group.
KETproducerGcorge Rasmussen
said be was surprised by the quality
of the music selected. "I thought there
would be a lot of medleys from The
Sound of Music, but they came out
singing songs in German and Latin."
Rasmussen was also impressed
by the quality of the musicianshipespecially remarlcable since the students bad only three days to rehearse.
KET cameras roamed backstage to
capture interviews with students and
telling moments from rehearsals. The
kids seemed to tum all of downtown
Louisville into a rehearsal hall, added
Rasmussen, practicing at several locations.
Associate Producer Megan
Moloney was struck by the discipline
of the young musicians. "They were
all very enthusiastic about performing at the KCA," she remembered.
"For many, it was their fltSt opportunity to perform in groups that size,
and many of the singers bad never
performed in all-femalecboruses, for
example, or all-male choruses."
The groups were led by university-level professionals from outside
Kentucky. The concerts were part of
the annual Kentucky Music Educators Association conference.

Bach's St. John
Passion on KET
Saturday,April15
Bach's St. John Passion-a work
of great drama, devotional intensity,
and reflection-is interpreted by the
acclaimed Neubeuem Choral Society conducted by Enoch zu
Guttenberg, and joined by The Music
Bach Collegium Orchestra in Johann
Sebastian Bach: St John Passion,
airing on KET at 10 p.m. Saturday,
April15. The 1993 performance was
pecially staged in the magnificent
baroque church at Gossweinstein in
Bavaria.
The St. John Passion recounts the
events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and the resurrection, told through
arias and recitatives, yet it is the chorales that beautifully and powerfully
express the tension between love and

devotionally it is one of the greatest
works of its kind-a deeply moving
combination of joy and grief.
The Passion reached its highest
point in the work of Bach. Of the five

Housing authority
receives BUD's high
performance rating
•
The Aoyd County Housing Authority recently received a Certificate of High Performance from the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
This performance rating is based
upon indicators established by Congress under Rule 553 ofTitle 5, United
States Code. These indicators include
such factors as financial management,
maintenance of the complexes, energy consumption, the length of time
it takes an agency to repair and rent
vacant units and the overall management of the housing authority.
In order for any authority to receive the high performance rating,
the authority must score equal to or
more than 90 percent. The Aoyd
County Housing Authority has scored
an average of96.44% since the management assessment program began
in 1991.
The Aoyd County Housing Authority operates three public housing
complexes, the Warco Project, Ivy
Creek Townhouses and the left Beaver Creek Townhouses.

Newsome seeks changes to the
miners' workers' comp system
State Representative Donnie
Newsome ofDema is calling on Governor Brereton Jones to intervene on
behalf of coal operators in their ongoing struggle with the state over
catastrophically high workers' compensation insurance premiums.
Newsome and House Speaker
Jody Richards met with Jones in
Frankfort last Tuesday in an effort to
draw the Governor's attention to a
crisis that is threatening to drive many
independent coal producers out of
business, leaving thousands of Kentucky miners out of work.
Some coal operators could see their
workers' comp premiums as much as
double this year as a result of recommendations approved by the Kentucky Department of Insurance recently. Industry spokesmen say many
companies may soon be paying more
for insurance than for labor, and that's
going to drive up production costs to
a level that will effectively destroy
the Commonwealth's ability to compete on the national and international
coal markets.
"This is a disgrace," Newsome
said this week. "Our miners work
bard. They pay their taxes, but their
jobs are being ripped away from them.
We need the Governor's leadership
on this, and we need it now."
Newsome says hundreds of coal
operators in his Eastern Kentucky
district have been forced to close
their doors over the past five years,
and many more will follow suit unless some immediate relief can be
provided.
The92nddistrictRep. wants some
comprehensive changes in the way
the workers' comp system applies to
coal mining, changes that will lower
rates but, at the same time, ensure
high levels of benefits for working
miners and those already drawing
compensation.
"We can make this system work,"
Newsome says, "but if we don't start
soon, there's not going to be anything
left to work with."
Newsome bas carried his fight to
the highest levels of state government in recent weeks, enlisting the
help of Speaker Richards, who also
was present at a meeting with Insurance Commissioner Don Stephens
last month.
the classroom curriculum, educating
students about the positive aspects of
coal and the many ways it benefits
our lives on a daily basis.
The 1993-94 school year was
CEDAR's fust year in operation and
was implemented in the three school
systems in Pike County. This school
year, CEDAR bas expanded to include the school systems in Floyd
County, making a total of 56 schools
in the target area of Pike and Floyd
counties.
The topics available to teachers to
base their study unit on are: Science
ofCoal,MiningMethods,CoalPreparation, Transporation of Coal, Different Uses of Coal, Economics of
Coal, Cultural Changes Affected by
the Coal Industry, Environmental
Concerns, a topic of the teachers'
creation.

Kentucky's new nature license
plate, featuring a Kentucky warbler
resting on the limb of a tulip poplar
tree, is now availableatcountyclerk' s
offices throughout the state, Governor Brereton C. Jones announced in a
news conference recently. The Governor and Mrs. Jones were each presented with a Nature License Plate by
Rebecca Jackson, president of the
Kentucky County Clerks' Association.
Proceeds from the sale of the new
plates will go to the Heritage Land
Conservation Fund (HLCF) and will
be used to acquire recreation land
and unique natural areas such as wetlands and old-growth forests. HLCF
funds will be divided among five
state agencies including the Kentucky
State Nature Preserves Commission,
Kentucky Division of Forestry, Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, the Kentucky Department of Parks, and the Kentucky DivisionofWaterforitsWildRivers
Program.
Kentucky citizens selected their
favorite design from among six submitted by artists from four state agencies. The winning design was created
by Jim Hoffman, an artist from
Woodford County who works in the
Division of Creative Services.
To buy the "Nature' sFinest"plate,
take your old plate to your county
clerk's office and ask for the nature
license plate. Cost of the license plate
is $35 plus the standard $15 registration fee. However, $25 of the fee is
tax deductible. Officials hope to generate $500,000or more per year from
the sale of the nature plates.

Auxier Lady Hornets
receive unusu~l mail;
baseball, April 26
•
The mailman made his run to the
Auxier Elementary School and left
some unusual mail for the girls' basketball team.
Each player on the Lady Hornet
basketball team received one of these
unusual letters. It stated:
Dear...
Congratulations on winning the
Floyd County Middle School Basketball Championship Tournament
of the 1994-95 season! I can only
imagine how excited you and your
team mates must be. No doubt
Coaches Greathouse, Gearheart and
Hackworth are very proud of you.
I am sure each of you is a star but
it is obvious that your working together as a team brought you this
victory. It is this kind of team spirit
that you can take into your college
and working years that will continue
to bring you success.
Best wishes in all of your endeavors. Keep up the good work!
Of course the Jetter was signed by
Kentucky Governor Brereton C.
Jones.
Recognition such as this is encouraging to young people. And our
youngpeoplenecdencouraging.'They
need to know that someone cares,
whether they succeed or not.
My congratulations to the Lady
Hornets for this recognition. You
deserve every bit of it. We're all
proud of you ..
BR.LY FULTZ•..
Remember? He is the nephew of
Jerry Fultz who teaches at the Garth
Vocational School.
Fultz was a member of the Cincinnati Reds' replacement team who
came close to the big show this past
Monday.
Instead of performing before a
huge crowd, Fultz and others were
given a garbage bag to put their belongings in and wished the best of
luck as the replacement team was
dismantled.
The replacement players were the
disasterous result of the court injunction ordering major league baseball
back on the fields.
The replacement teams were to be
the focal point of opening day in
major league baseball and it was to be
their day.
Television cameras and reporters
from all over this country (and beyond) would have had their eyes
turned to the "real heroes" of the
game.
Fultz was vocal in his disappointment of major league owners. He
thought that Reds' owner Marge
Schott should have taken better care
of the replacement players.
"It makes you wonder how they
could go so long without reaching an
agreement and all of a sudden, right
before game time, they start cutting
deals," he was reported a~ saying.
The replacement players would
have received a hefty payment if they
had been part of the opening day
games. A $25,000 bonus fee would
have been theirs, as well as another
$5,000 for being on the opening day
roster. Each player would have received $650 per game, as well.
But when it was almost game time,
the players were issued garbage bags
and told to go home.
The owners really pulled their
necks in when the injuction came
down and they made themselves look
pretty foolish. I wished they had
locked the major league players out
and went on with the replacement
players, at least for the opening game.
The season will open Wednesday,
April 26 with each team playing 144
games. The Cincinnati Reds will not
play at home until early May. If they
bold to the present schedule, they
wiU open the season on the West
Coast.
FANS TO BECOME VOCAL
While the major league strike may
have ended, fans are planning one
themselves. Dascball fans are fed up
with the way they were treated during the strike that lasted eight months.
Boycotts, demonstrations and
other means of protest arc being
planned when the real players do
return to the diamond.

She blasted two round trippers in
her ftrst two at bats in the second
game, which the Lady Blackeats won

But it wasn't, according to coach
Bridget Clay, a one-person show.
"It was a complete team effort,"
she saitf afterwards. "They all bit the
ball. Everyone got in on the act It
was just a tremendous effort on the
part of everyone."
In the first game, Shelby Valley

against starter Carolyn Jones. But
Prestonsburg came back in the bottom of the inning and sent eight batters to the plate in scoring five times
for a 5-1 game.

Coach Clay said she liked tlte
chemistry this team has. "We've got
good chemistry," she said. "We have
good speed, power and defensive
ability. It's not one or two players.
Everybody contributes. That's why
we won by a large margin."
Clay said her club had a positive
attitude and was ready to play.
"This is just a good combination
of kids," she said. '"We work hanl in

After .,paying his dues.. -·
Clark starts at third
for Jacksonville State
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
After "paying his dues" former
Prestonsburg standout John Thomas
Clark is a solid fixture at third base
for Jacksonville State Gamecocks and
coach Rudy Abbott.
Clark played in only six games
coming to bat 15 times his freshman
year at JAX State. However, an injury to the starting third sacker forced
Clark into action in the Gulf South
Conference Tournament where he
played extremely well.
The former Prestonsburg Blackcat
found 1994 as a solid year in showing
what be could do. Clark played in 20
games, starting 13 and batted a robust
.500 for the season.
He had his only home run that
season while driving in 10 runs. He
was two-for-two in the stolen base
department He walked 11 times in
38 official at bat appearances.
This Clark is expected to contributetotbeGamecocksin 1995.Hehas
worked long hours in the weight room
during the off-season. Clark. who
plays third, is capable of playing the
outfield as well. He is expected to be
a big part of State's hit and run offense.
This season, Clark has 31 bits in
94 at bats for an average of .329. His
career average at Jacksonville State
is.396. He has picked up 15 RBis this
season and is 11 for 13 in stolen base
attempts.
The Gamecocks posted the best
record in the nation last year with a
40-7 mark. They were the NCAA
homerun champions, NCAA fielding champions and NCAA slugging
percentage champions.
In his senior season at
Prestonsburg, Clark caught the eye
of several major league scouts when
be batted .575 and stole 45 bases.

Director and Motorsports Coordinator Chris Blair announced recently
that the Prestonsburg Entertainment
Complex has acquired the Perry

Bartley homers as Lady Cats
take two from Allen Central
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Ashley Bartley smashed a threerun home run and Shanna Clark went
the distance in game one as the Betsy
Layne Lady Cats won a doubleheader
over Allen Central Monday night to
inaugurate the first girls' fast-pitch
softball game in Floyd County.
Betsy Layne took the opener 12-2
and posted a 8-5 win in the nightcap.
Clark, looking like a veteran fastpitch hurler, walked only one batter
and struck out five in going all the
way.
Tish Yates suffered the loss working five innings. She fanned six batters but her wildness in the frrst inning proved to be ber down fall.
Yates issued 17 walks in the game,
but eight of those came in the frrst
frame when Betsy Layne scored six
times.
"Wchad problems on the mound,"
said Allen Central coach Anthony
Moore. "Sbanna got the ball over the
plate consistently and that was the
difference."
Bartley hither three-run homerun
in the frrst inning to highlight the
rally. The Lady Cats added four runs
in the second frame and two in the
fifth.
Jessica Johnson collected two bits
for Betsy Layne with a single and
triple. Ncdria Tackett had two base
hits with Rachel Thompson collecting a single.
Nikki Queen had two hits for Allen
Central, both doubles. April Hardy,
Cathy Conn, Melenda Turner, Karen
Wallen and Lisa Stumbo each bad
one hit.
Allen Central scored both of their
runs in the frrst inning.
In the second game Clark started
on the mound for BeLo;y Layne. He
left in the third but pitched enough to
receive credit for the win.
Betsy Layne started the second
game much like the flfSt when they
pushed home six runs.
'We had a shaky first inning, but
we played better after that," said
Moore.
Caroline Bradley (0-1) took the
loss for the Lady Rebels. Bradley
walked eight batters, mostly in the
frrst inning, and struck out three.
Caroline Bradley had a two-run
triple for Allen Central in the frrst
inning. Melissa Mullins, Veronica
McKinney, Cathy Conn, Nikki Queen
and Sabrina Bradley each collected a
hit.
The second game was called after
three innings because of the failure to
get the lights on at the Allen Park.
Allen Central travels to Magoffin
County Monday. Betsy Layne will
entertain Prestonsburg Thursday
evening.
"This will be a tremendous step in
the growth of motorsports in Eastern
Kentucky," said Blair. "Now, instead
of having the top two tracks in the
region competing with one another,
they will be working to compliment
one another. That will lead to better
car counts, consistent rules, increased
special event promotions and more
fan support."
Underthenewsetup,PerryCounty
Speedway will operate Friday nights
beginning April14 featuring a complete program of Late Model, Modified, Thunder 'N Lighting Stocks,
Bombers, and Road Hogs.
Thunder Ridge will operate every
Saturday night beginning April 15
featuring the same divisions as Perry
County. Drivers will compete for a
combined points fund and bonus programs set-up between the two tracks.
Blair said that driver approval has
been overwhelming.
''The response from drivers has
been tremendous," explained Blair.
"Now that there arc two tracks within
a one hour's drive, more cars are
being built locally and several touring drivers have indicated that they
will make a weekend sweep of both
events."
While the large regular event
purses of Thunder Ridge and Perry
County will continue, the most attention is now directed at the special
events that will be run in conjunction
with one another. Several events are
planned that will reward drivers if
they can complete a Friday-Saturday
sweep of Perry County-Thunder
Ridge events.

A Word About Jeff Gordon
•
•
•
•
All right. Before I go any further,
I have to be honest with you. The
thoughts of Jeff Gordon winning last
Sunday's Food City 500 on the high
banks of Bristol International Raceway, never entered my mind.
After all, his previous races at this
demanding track were of the extremely poor variety. How could he
win Bristol?
Here was my lackluster thought
process: Yes, Jeff Gordon is a very
promising driver. Tracks like Charlotte, Atlanta, and places like that. are
no problem for the Indiana native.
But short tracks? No, not just yet.
I was flrm in my belief that Jeff
Gordon was a year away from mastering the bull-ring on the Winston
Cup Series.
Well,shutmymouth! By the way,
it's pretty doggone big of me to come
right out and admit I was wrong.
Gordon has done it. A win on a
superspeedway (Atlanta), an intermediate track (Rockingham) and now
a victory on a short track. Are you a
believer yet?
Not only did Gordon win the race,
but be purely dominated it! He led
205 of the races 500 laps. When he
wasn't leading, he was breathing
down the front-runner's neck.
Following the race, I spoke with
Gordon about his flfSt career short
track victory.
"Man, it's unbelieveable. If you
look at our track record on the short
tracks, especially Bristol, you would
think the last person that's going to
win is Jeff Gordon.
"I think I've come a long way
cause I'm trying to be more patient I
think the team has come a long way.
They kept me up front all day long,"
said the 23-year-old driver of the
DuPont Chevrolet.
Gordon's win helped him jump
from eighth to fourth in the point
sumdings. With three season victories and three poles, be is clearly
emerging as the d<minatedriver thus
far.
A word of congratulations goes
out to Food City and Briston International Raceway for another successful weelc of racing at "The World's
Fastest Half-Mile."
Food City is in its fourth year as
sponsor of Bristol's spring race. The
60-plus supermarketchain kicked off
the weekend with Food City Family
Race Nights in both Knoxville and
Kingsport, 1N.
I was on hand for both events and
it was a great opportunity for fans to
get out and meet their favorite driv-
ers.
The Knoxville event drew over
Trout stocking in
Kentucky begins
lbe temperature is warming up
just in time for trout stocking around
the state. Rainbow trout stocking in
Kentucky begins in April at the following lakes: Bert Combs, Beulah,
Cannon Creek, Fisherman's Park,
Fishpond, Upper Game Farm, Lower

County,Mill Creek, Owensboro Park,
Stanford and Waterson.
Remember, when you catch a fish
you don't want to keep (even if you
could legally), return it to the water as
soon as possible in the best physical
condition. The ideal situation is to
release.the fish while it is still in the
water.
Trout fishermen must have a current Kentucky Trout Stamp in addition to a valid Kentucky fishing Ucense, unless exempt
10,000 fans as Dale Earnhardt and
Rusty Wallace were the big names on
the card. At Kingsport, over 25,000
came out to see the 20-plus drivers
that were on hand. All proceeds from
the Food City sponsored events went
to charity.
I spoke with Steve Smith, President of Food City, about his
company's involvement with racing.
"It's great because it offers us the
opportunity to give back to our people.
We'll be with Bristol until the year
2000, and hopefully long after that,"
said Smith.
Once again, Bristol comes out on
top as one of the premier events on
the Winston Cup Series. Some 75,000
fans turned out for lastS unday' s race.
BIR owner Larry Carrier plans to
bring the fan capacity to 100,000
within the next five years.
The next Winston Cup event is set
for this Sunday at North Wilkesboro
as the gang will battle it out in the
First Union 400 on the 0.625 mile
oval.

�CRPhelps
stablize duck
population
"Low and inside!"
Good news for duck hunters!
Ducks Unlimited (DU) has been
tracking the Conservation Reserve
Programs's (CVRP) waterfowl conservation efforts. As a part of the
1985 Fann Bill, the CRP pays fanners to retire highly erodible acreage
from crop production for 10 years to
establish perennial vegetation on
those lands.
The wildlife nesting cover provided by the CRP is also helping to
produce and possibly stabilize populations of a nwnber of species in
certain areas of the country. According to DU, since CRP went into action, national duck population is up
20 percent and quail population has
doubled.
A March, 1994 survey conducted
by the Kentucky Department ofFish
and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR)
in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) also reported an increase in duck populations across Kentucky.
The first girls' fast-pitch softball game was played Monday night at Allen Park between Allen Central and
Betsy Layne. High schools in Kentucky must field a fast-pitch team, but are permitted to retain the slo-pitch
as well. Betsy Layne swept Allen Central in a doubleheader. (photo by Ed Taylor)

Brian Meade-Parent Volunteer of the Month
At the last regular meeting of the Floyd
County Board of Education, Board
Chairman Ray Brackett honored Banner
resident Brian Meade as the Floyd County
School's Outstanding Parent Volunteer for
the month of March for his generous
contributions of time and energy on behalf
of Prater Elementary School.
Meade, a carpenterforthefamily-owned
Meade
Construction
Company,
constructed new playground equipment
for the school with materials purchased by
the Prater Elementary Parent-Teachers
Organization.
Meade is a graduate of Betsy Layne
High School, is a former Prater PTO and
Athletic Boosters president and his three
children are students at Prater Elementary,
where his wife Donna works as a
kindergarten aide•
taxes and payroll requirements.
In the process, they learned about coal,
they learned about math, and, Tackett said,
they learned a little about themselves.
''They've really enjoyed (the project),"
Tackett said. "The kids seem really proud
that they're learning about what their daddies
or their granddaddies do for aliving .... We've
seen a lot of good family response from this.
"Parents sent mining equipment like
methane detectors, hard hats, anemometers
to check ventilation, old photos, a drill bit for
a roof bolter.... One father who works in the
mines even went and got infonnation on
where the coal that is mined around here is
sent to and (presented it to the class)."
The cookie mining project is part of Prater's contribution to
Floyd County Schools' district-wide participation in the CEDAR
projec4 a program set up by coal industry officials, businessmen
and educators to promote awareness ofEastern Kentucky's number
one industry and education.

Eating up the profits...
Floyd County Board of Education Chairman Ray Brackett shook handa with
Brian Meade and presented him with a plaque honoring him as the Floyd County

Prater Elementary students found out last
month that education can be fun even if it is
a little "crumby."
Students in teachers Zenith Hall and Sherry
Tackett's classes studied the realities of
running a coal mining operation by "mining"
chocolate chips from cookies. Once all the
chips were extracted, Tackett said, students
then had to "reclaim" the cookies.
For the project, students had to plan every
aspect of an actual coal mining operation,
Tackett said, from materials purchase to mine
mapping to profit potential. They were
required to mathematically figure costs, fines,

Thunder Ridge to roar louder this racing season
Get ready for the biggest racing
ever at Thunder Ridge.
Mter quickly establishing itself
as one of the premiere weekly short
tracks in America in less than half a
season, Thunder Ridge is now preparing to become one of the top special event facilities in dirt track racing.
With a schedule ranging from touring sprint cars, national truck pulling
circuits and the premiere Late Model
series in America, the multi-purpose
entertainment complex will have
something for everyone in 1995.
"I wanted to prepare a schedule of
events that would bring new forms of
entertainment to Eastern Kentucky,"
said Thunder Ridge Event Marketing
Director Chris Blair. "We will continue to have the best weekly Late
Model racing in the country, but we
are also looking to other forms of
motorsports that will attract the nontraditional stock car racing fan."
According to Blair, be has secured
two dates with the United States Auto
Club (USAC) National Sprint Car
Series, a monster truck event, the
Kentucky debutoftheHav-A-Tampa
Racing Series and the fust ever National Truck Pulling Association
(NfPA) Skoal/Copenhagen Grand
National Pulling Series event ever in
Kentucky.
"It's quite an ambitious
motorsports schedule for a facility
built primarily for harness racing,"
said Blair. "Livehorseracingdoesn't
return toThunderRidgeuntilJuly, so
that gave me several key weekends to
schedule major motorsports events.
"I decided to go after the best of
each specialty promotion and, by
landing the NTPA, USAC and HavA-Tampa, I can assure our fans that
they will get the top stars and most
enjoyment for their entertainment
dollars."
The live events season will begin
with Dirt Late Model racing at Thunder Ridge's sister track, the Perry
County Speedway, on Friday, April
14 and will move to Thunder Ridge
the following evening, Saturday,
Apri115.
Fans seeking additional Thunder
Ridge and Perry County information

Surreal images danced across the
teevcc screen.
Rebecca Lobo, after leading
UConn to the women's NCAA championship, called it "a story book ending." Perfect season winning the national championship. "And playing
with people like my teammates."
Lobo bit her lip and held back the
tears.
Contrasting Lobo's emotion and
love of teammates in a team game, in
Chicago a parade ofbriefcase-carrying suits were shown coming and
going from an airport hotel. Baseball
club owners voted against a player
lockout. Baseball is back, announcers told us.
Not really. Just one collection of
profiteers declaring a cease ftre with
another group of profiteers so that
both can fleece a herd of sheep until,
oh, the all-star break.
Frankly, I hoped the strike would
last as long as it took to see Barry
Bonds walk a picket line.
Bottom line: "The Final Four
Weekend feels more and more like
our national pastime," sports writer
Mike Lupica said in Seattle.
DID 'CATS AGE PITINO?
Compassion for coaches bloomed
this spring like March flowers.
UNLV's Mike Grgurich and Duke's
Mike Krzyzcwski. Rick Pitino was
drawing media sympathy last week
after Kentucky's coach said he was
exhaus·ted and would opt not to attend the coaches convention in Seattle.
For the six seasons he has been at
UK. it was easy enough to see Pitino
worked his hardest with this team.
Had to. The 1995-96 Wildcats edition was one that makes coaches age
fast.
With two exceptions (28-5), results demonstrate Pitino did his work
very well, I thought Da Coach lost
control of his players in games against
Louisville and North Carolina.
Footnote: In the Final Foursemifmal, wasn't it amazing Arkansas
played North Carolina exactly the
way Kentucky did a week earlier,
including 28 per cent shooting? For a
half. At halftime Nolan Richardson
persuaded his Hogs to rely on better
shot selection and asked them to take
the ball inside to Big Nasty who
schooled weary and dispritcd Rasheed
Wallace.
UK NEXT SEASON?
From a fan's view, UK's 1995-96
preconference schedule could be the
best ever, including Maryland in the
Tipoff Classic in November; a game
against an ACC foe to be announced
later (Wake Forest?); and the Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden a week after Christmas.
UK will be invited to ESPN's
Great Eight Tournament. IfKentucky
accepts (Arkansas declined last year),
it would join this season's Final Four
along with UConn. UMass and Virginia. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim
wants to renew that popular intersectional series. And Pitino himself
promised Larry Hunterand Ohio U. a
date in Athens, probably not next
season.
Oh, and regulars Indiana and Louisville return.
LEMME SEE...DEPT
Lemme see if I have this straight:
Pitino said last week Carolina had
discovered Kentucky's weakness.

Ricban!son told reporters Kentucky's
principal weakness was its inside
game. Hmmm. Apparently with no
offense UK managed to win 28 times,
reach the Final Eight.
Footnote: Don'tletDaCoachspin
you. UK's weakness was shot discipline. A coachable commodity.
Lemme see if I have this straight:
Rod Rhodes attended three years of
college and is on schedule to graduate. his coach says. (roughly 96 semester hours). But without declaring
a major! Say, there's an endorsement
for the CAT's progrrun.
Lemme see if I have this straight:
Derek Anderson transferred to UK,

Coach said last week. Anderson must
do some big things academic this
summer or "he's done."

Prestonsburg Blackcats return
strong rotation; talent there
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
•
•
Prestonsburg Blackcat baseball
coach Russell Shepherd will be entering his 24th season at the helm of
the baseball program and he is excited about the upcoming season.
Shepherd, who's team finished248 last season, will have one of the
stronger pitching rotations in the 15th
Region. However, the veteran coach
says this year's team will lack the
long ball hitter.
"We're going to be a good team,"
he said." A team who will make good
contact But we're not going to have
those power hitters like we have had
in the past"
Shepherd said that defensively,
Prestonsburg will be a strong ballclub
and that is where the games are really
won.
"We're going to be a very good
defensive team," said Shepherd.
"That's what wins games for you
anyway."
Prestonsburg's rotation is set and
all are hard throwers. Senior Thomas
Ratliff, whoplayedinanall-stargame
last year, will return to become the
ace of the staff.
"Thomas is a great athlete," said
his coach. "He bas a very strong arm
and can play anywhere."
Ratliff, when not on the mound,
will split his time at third or flfst base.
"He's an excellent defensive
player," said Russell. "A solid hitter.
Makes excellent contact"
Ratliffbatted.717lastyear, which
made him the number one bitter in
the region last season and earned him
a spot on the East All-Star team.
Sophomore Kevin Robinson will
be in the Blackcat rotation and he was
impressive last season against
Millard.
"WelosttoMillardlastyear3-2in
a game that Kevin pitched in," said
Shepherd. "But he had 12 strikeouts
in the game. He played alotforus last
year as a freshman.
"He has a very strong arm, a live
arm. He is stilljustalittlebit wild, but
he can pitch. He listens well."
Senior Jason Spencer will return
for his fmal season and will be the
numbertwomanintberotation. When
not on the hill, Spencer will be at
second base.
"Jason has limited range," said
Shepherd. "He swings a good bat. He
hits behind the runners. He's a hard
thrower when he pitches. He has good
off-speed stuff."
Rounding out the starting rotation
is Jason Hackworth, who throws slow
and slower. His off-speed pitches give
power hitters fits at the plate.
"Jason is an excellent pitcher,"
said the Blackcat coach. "He has excellent off-speed stuff."
Shepherd said that llackworth
would be used in various spots in the
lineup when be is not pitching.
"He will play shortstop, second
base and outfield for us," he said.
Junior Bennett Allen may see some
time on the mound for the Blackcats.
"Bennett has a live arm," said his
coach. "But he bas to have more than
just the two pitches he throws. He
tbrowsafastballandknuckler. That's
it We're working with on throwing a
breaking pitch."
Allen will also see time at short
and in the outfield as well.
Shortstop will be in the very capable hands of senior Jason Burke.
His range and strong ann make him
one of the region's top shortstops.
"Jason has excellent range at
short," said Coach Shepherd. "He
bas a tendency to get down on himself at times. He's a very good hitter.
Makes good contact. He has really
improved in keeping his glove on the
ground."
Seeing playing time at first base
will be James Jarrell, a junior. Jarrell
swingsthepotentbatfortheBlackcats
and is an excellent center fielder.
"Jarrell is an excellent defensive
player," said Shepherd. "He will be
our power hitter this year. He bit a
three-run home run against PikeCentrallast year that won the game. He
may see some time pitching as well."
Freshman Wesley Samons will
also be platooning at first base.
"Wesley is one of our flfst year
players," said Shepherd. "He picks
things up so well because he listens.
He bas a strong ann. It's just waitand-see on his bat. But he's an excellent player."
A duo will be competing for the
catchers position and both are strong
candidates.
Sophomore Sammy Nelson appears to have the edge over Mike
Castle, according to Coach Shepherd,
because Castle did not play last sea-
son.
"Ihaven'tscen Mike in high school
play," said Shepherd, "but he has all
the tools to be a good catcher.
"Sammy caught last year and that
gives him the edge as to who starts
there. He's a good hitter and bits up
the middle.
"Both are sophomores and wish
they weren't. Both have strong arms
and are throwing over the top. They
listen and that's good."
Left field will be anchored by Ryan
Ortega. who did not play last season.
"Ryan is the purest glove we have,"
said Russell. "He has excellent speed
and we will use him some in the
infield."
Toby Robinson, a senior, will play
center field or right. Robinson will be
coming back after missing most of
last season.
"Toby started with us last year and
then was suspended," said Russell.
"He's a good hitter and just an excellent outfielder."
The designated hitter's role will
go to Robbie Risner, a senior.
"Robbie is a good on-base hitter,"
said the Blackcat mentor. "He's a
good control bitter and he played
second base for us last year. He will
be used in a utility role this year."
Anotherncwcomerto the Blackcat
roster will be J.P. Skeens. "He will be
playing in the outfield, which is a
new position for him," Shepherd said.
Coach Shepherd will have a long
bench and senior Brian Allen will be
one of those. Allen will see time at
flfst base. "He just needs more experience," said Shepherd.
Junior Matt Trusty will play the
hot corner, third base, at times. ''Matt
throws bard. He hasn't bad a lot of
work," said Shepherd.
Sophomore Rusty Young begins
his flfst season with the Blackcats
and Shepherd said that he would play
some third or catch.
Sophomore Blake Price will be
used primarily in the outfield, but
could see some playing time in the
infield.
A good target for any infielder to
throw to at flfst base will be sophomore Shawn Ousley.
Jeremy Shepherd, a sophomore,
will be a converted catcher as he will
sec his playing time in the outfield.
Sophomore Chris Prater and Gordon
Maynard will play the outfield as
well.
Jason Blackburn will split his playing time between the outfield and
infield. "He will be primarily used in
the infield," said Shepherd.
Wesley McGuire, another converted catcher, will play the outfield.
Zeth Shepherd has been playing
for the Blackcats since he was a seventh grader. But his bat could hold
him back.
"His bat is weak right now," said
Shepherd. "He plays good defense
and blocks the ball well. He's learning."
Prestonsburg is looking to regain
that regional competitiveness that
seemed to have left them the past two
seasons.
This ballclub has all the ingredients to be a top regional contender.

What a contrast to how things are now.
In "One Day in the Life of an American Child,"
Harvey Alston noted the following facts .
In 1993, every day in the United States 67 babies
died before one month of life; 27 children died of
poverty; 10 children died from guns; six teenagers
committed suicide; 135,000 children brought a gun to

No wonder we want to refer to the time of our
youth as "the good old days."

Local groups offer a peek into the past
The Friends of the May House and the
Prestonsburg Woman's Club will travel back
in time on Memorial Day Week-end, May 27
and 28, when they sponsor a tour of historic
Abingdon, Virginia.
Abingdon is the oldest town west of the
Blue Ridge mountains, and the tour will focus
on historical events, objects and lifestyles. The
tour package includes lodging at the historic
Martha Washington Inn, transportation, a trip
to a Confederate battlefield at Saltville, an
evening at the Barter Theater, and Sunday
brunch.
The Martha Washington Inn, completed in
1832 as the home of General Francis Preston
and his wife Sarah, is the centerpiece of the
town. Construction on the home was begun in
1830 by General Preston, a fonner Congressman and officer in the Virginia militia, and
Sarah, a niece of Patrick Henry.
After stints serving as a sanctuary and
hospital during the Civil War, as the Martha
Washington College for Women, and as a
boarding house to Barter Theatre actors during
the Great Depression, the Inn opened its doors
to the public in 1935.
Today, after an $8 million dollar renovation,
the Martha Washington Inn, a Four-Star,
Historic Hotel of America, continues to reflect
the charm of its creation. Featuring luxurious
accommodations furnished in period antiques,
restaurants, a nightclub, a private club, gift
shop and a grand ballroom, the inn is a magnet,
drawing guests from near and far to sample its
outstanding amenities.
Many other highlights in downtown
Abingdon are Registered National Historic
Sites. A walking tour of Abingdon is a step
back in time, and the tour package includes
visits to the numerous antique shops and
vintage homes in the town.
For those who don't want to spend their day
in the antique shops, a tour of the Confederate
Battlefield and historic cemetery at nearby
Saltville will be available.
In 1864, Confederate soldiers defended
the Saltville valley against Union troops
who were intent on capturing the
area's rich saltworks. Today,
Saltville continues to call itself
''the Salt Capital of the Confederacy." The town was the South's
principal supplier of salt, vital
for preserving meat in the days
before refrigeration was invented.
Mable Lineberger, who is in
charge of the tour for the Friends - - - :._. -. of the May House, said it is still
possible to sec the trenches and
fortifications used by the outnumbered Confederates, who successfully defended the town's saltworks.
Members of the tour group can also
visit the cemetery where some of the
Confederate defenders are buried, Lineberger
said. One of the cannons used in the battle now
stands at the entrance of the town's Elizabeth
cemetery. where some of the Confederate

IN LIFE'S BIG BALLGAME
My favorite basketball team

that meant.
.
Old dad would be glued to every move made on
the tube by the Kentucky Wildcats. Yep, make sure
you don't block the action, kid.
Then the boy put his own move on me.
"Here you are just watching that old ballgame
and you haven't done anything with me today,"
Joshua told me. 'That old ballgame doesn't have
anything to do with you being with your family."
And I thought full-court presses only happened in
basketball.
But this kid was making either team's every trip
down the floor a guilt trip for me.
Nice try, kid. But this is Kentucky basketball,
you know.
But it wasn't long before I came to realize the kid
had scored some points on me in the "wake-up-andsmell-the-coffee" department.
It dawned on me that time isn't what it used to be
to me. Maybe you've noticed the same thing in your
life. When I was my son's age and older, time
seemed to move about 1,000 speeds slower than
molasses.
As I recall, grade school lasted just a year shy of
forever. Getting old enough to get my driver's
license seemed like it took 50 years rather than 16.
Then something weird happened to time.

But it's all had me thinking a little more about

With cable and satellite television, it's possible to
watch ballgames-football, golf and anything
else-around the clock now.
That's exactly what I used to do. I once knew

bottom. But I must admit that not even the Wildcats
keep me as tied to the couch for a whole game as
they once did.
Maybe some of that has to do with my weak
stomach. I just can't stand to watch the Cats get
behind very far or lose.
But maybe a lot of it has to do with my son
reminding me of some things that are pretty important. And that wasn't his ballgame comment so
much as seeing how he's outgrowing his clothes and
getting taller every week.
The same thing is happening with his 3-year-old
sister. I'm not sure just when it happened, but she's
not a baby anymore.
There's no way I'll be quitting my ball games.
My son will just have to bear with me on some days.
But I've learned there are other things I'd better tend

you applied and were found eligible,
or for three periods after applying
and being determined eligible. I lowever, Spend Down is never good for
more than three months at a time.
Based on your needs, it is renewable
again and again, when you have incurred medical bills to equal your
determined "eligibility" amount.
Each time be prepared to prove eligibility.
The past three weeks we have
been talking about government-sponsored medical assistance programs.
Next week we will discuss supplemental insurance, often referred to
these days as Medigap. We will also
highlightLong Term Case Insurance.
And, I will make a few suggestions in
regard to protecting your assets before you have a long illness or before
having to go to a long-term care facility.

Senior citizens, today we are going to talk about Spend Down. If you
have a lot of medical bills this program-under the Medicaid umbrella-a>uld help you.
The best way I know to define
Spend Down is that it is a program
that provides temporary financial assistance to persons whose out-ofpocket medical expenses supersedes
the money one is allowed to have if
be or she were a SSI recipient. A
person must be 65 or older, blind or
disabled, a United States citizens or a
legal alien with a permanent address
as defined by law, and one income
must be over the SSI allowable limit
to qualify.
Though the Department for Social Insurance uses a formula, based
on pre-set guidelines, to determine
eligibility, each case is handled individually. Several deductions are considered before an allowable amount
is determined for you. Your county
Department of Social Insurance office is responsible for helping you to
determine eligibility.
When you visit the SSI office in
your county have readily available
the basic information you know will
be required of you such as your social
security number, etc. In addition, you
will need proof of all income and
proof of all medical bills paid from
out-of-pocket monies the last three
months. You will also need to provide copies of all medical bills from
the last three months that remain "unpaid."
If the medical bills you have incurred over a three month period are
equal to or over the amount of allowable spendable income, you are eligible for a "short-term" Medicaid
card--or Spend Down. Unlike the
standard Medicaid card, the Spend
Down is good for only three months,
hence "short-term." The card given
to you may be good for medical expenses the three month period before
Con artists prey on homeowner's concerns
As the gypsies travel back to the
Bluegrass, home repair rip-offs are
likely to occur!
Older citizens are favorite targets
ofcon artists who attempt to line their
own pockets by pushing fraudulent
home repair services, according to
the Detter Business Bureau.
As warmer weather approaches,
so docs the con artist who preys on
homeowners' concerns for the safety
and upkeep of their bouses. These
thieves, also known as "travelers" or
"gypsies" typically use scare tactics,
such as dire warnings that the chimney is aboutto crumble, the furnace is
about to explode or the driveway
needs to be sealed.
"Older folks who live alone far
from other relatives are especially
vulnerable to slick-talkingpeddlers,"
said Tracey McLarney, President/
CEO of the Better Business Bureau.
"The con artist befriends lonely consumers, preys on their fears of eminent danger and then pressures them
into signing away large sums of
money before they check the offer.
Most likely the bouse is not on the
verge of collapse, or in need of costly
repairs. but scam artists would like
older people to believe otherwise.

Taking precautions could prevent mower-related injuries
An estimated 1,300 Kentuckians
are treated in emergency rooms for
•
mower-related injuries every year.
These injuries range from ~vere
bums from touching hot machine
parts to cuts from items flung by a
mower to the loss of a foot or band.
Terry Wescou of the Department
for Health Services consumer product safety program says that precautions can help prevent these types of
injuries-and the hundreds of other
minor injuries not bad enough torequire emergency room treatment.
"Having a healthy respect for lawn
mowers can go a long way toward
preventing injuries," he said. "When
you think about it, they're very dangerous machines-with a blade revolving at the equivalentof200 miles
per hour, you're talking about a Serious potential for injury.
"Going slow and keeping your
mind on the job are two important
precautions."
Wescott offers the following
mower-related safety tips.
-Keep children and pets out of
the area being mowed. This protects
the chil<L:en and pets and helps keep
the person mowing from being distracted.
-People operating riding mowers should always look behind them
before backing up to check for small
children, pets and obstacles.
Mosquitoes being fingerprinted to prevent diseases
by Sean Adams
•
Mosquitoes are being fingerprinted so scientists can sort out the
dangerous species from harmless
ones.
Outside this country, mosquitoes
are more than a nuisance. They can
be deadly carriers of organisms that
can cause malaria, yellow fever, dengue and other diseases. Malaria alone
infects about 300 million people
worldwide, causing up to 1.2 million
deaths each year.

Floyd Allen's attorney, Judge D.
W. Bolen, was talking to Jude Massie
following his sentencing on March
13, 1912, when the convicted man
said, "Gentlemen, you'll never do it.
I'm not going."
"I turned around and saw Floyd
· fidgeting with his coat and then I saw
the gleam of a pistol in his hand,"
Bolen wrote. "I looked for Victor
Allen because he was the one that
could keep peace among the Aliens.
But when I looked for him I saw
Claude Allen and he was leveling his
pistol at Judge Massie.
"I saw the smoke from his pistol
and the lint fly from Judge Massie's
shoulder when he was struck by the
bullet. The judge sank in his chair.
Another shot was flfed from near
where Claude Allen was standing
and the smoke covered the area around
Judge Massie. I saw Sid Allen emerge
from the area with a pistol in his hand
and Claudealongsidehim. There was
nodoubtin my mind that the shot was
flfCd by Sid Allen.
The judge and sheriff were shot
dead soon after the outburst began
and the Aliens directed their f1re at
Commonwealth Attorney WilliamM.
Foster who, despite four mortal
wounds in the chest, returned their
f1te.
"Time, time and again, he fired
after he had received four death
wounds in the breast, and never did
he stop until two bullets penetrated
his brain," the Mount Airy (N.C.)
News reported. ''With the six death
wounds in his body, four in his breast
and two in his brian, he walked from
the room, passed through the door
into the grand jury room, crossed the
room, a distance of ten or fifteen feet,
and fell dead without a struggle or a
sigh."
Suddenly the judge, prosecuting
attorney and sheriff were all dead.
Dexter Goad and members of the
jury were the next targets in the court
room. Jurors Augustus Fouler, age
50, received a mortal wound and
a handful pose a threat to humans,
says U.S. Department of Agriculture
scientist Andrew Cockburn. "And
most of the mosquitoes that bite humans don't transmit malaria or other
diseases."
What makes it tough to single out
mosquitoes is that one species may
look like another. That's where the
fmgerprinting comes into play.
Cockburn and colleaques in
USDA's Agricultural Research Service are analyzing mosquito blood
for DNA fingerprints. At an ARS
laboratory in Gainesville, Fla., the
Andrew Howlett, age 33, lay near
death with a serious wound.
When the firing began there was a
woman with a baby who tried to
leave, exclaiming, "Oh no, they arc
going to kill my baby."
An unknown person grabbed her
and held her and the baby as shields
during the height of the shooting.
Judge Bolen, who said that he
dropped to the floor and crawled under a bench when he was caught in
the crossfire, saw Wesley Edwards
flfing rapidly in the direction of the
officers. A few seconds later, Floyd
Allen fen on top of him.
"For God's sake Floyd, get off
me," Bolen said urgently. "They'll
kill me while shooting at you."
Dexter Goad, Carroll County court
clerk, meanwhile was flfing at Floyd
Allen and all of the other Aliens who
were involved in the shooting. He
had performed his official duties
while armed with a 38 caliber automatic pistol in his holster.
"There were rumors to th\! effect
that Floyd Allen would resort to violence if he were convicted," Goad
said later. "When I heard the gunfire
I tried to draw my pistol, which was
in a holster inside my vest. But it was
hung up in the holster. I frnally got it
out
"Sheriff Webb had already fallen
so I began to shoot, atleast four times
at Floyd Allen. A bullet then hung up
in my pistol. I headed toward the jury
room but then someone handed me
another revolver. When I went to the
south stairs, Sid Allen was shooting
at me so I fired at him until my gun
was empty."
Sid Allen said he f1red five shots
at Goad before dropping to the floor
where he ejected the shells and reloaded.
Suddenly a bullet hit Goad in the
cheek and came out through the back
of his neck. After a brief delay he
continued flfing at the Aliens.
Editor's note: The shooting continues in the Hillsville. VA, courthouse, next week in Jadon •s From the

scientists tested three species thatlook
like Anopheles quadrimaculatus-a
nasty nuisance in this country.
DNA prints confirmed that only
one of the three was actually A.
quadrirnaculatus. It feeds on humans
while the other species rarely do.
'1'he fmgerprintiug has made it
clear that certain species shouldn't be
considered a major problem for mosquito control agencies," Cockburn
says. On the other hand, he adds, the
tests can give these agencies an accurate identity of the troublemakers that

adults on riding mowers; the machines are balanced for one person
and even a small child can throw off
that balance.
-Do not alter mowers to bypass
safety features, such as the "deadman" switch, shields on discharge
chutes or rear safety shields. Any
changes to these features increase the
chance of injuries.
-Make sure the mower is off if
you must leave it-even if only for a
moment.
-Always wait until the blade has
stopped revolving before cleaning the
discharge chute-doing so can save
fmgers and hands from being cut off.
-Riding mowers should go up
and down slopes to prevent tipping
over. Walking mowers operate more
safely going across slopes.
-Before mowing, pick up stones,
wire, toys, sticks or other items the
mower's blades might pick up and
throw.
-Gasoline should be added only
when the mower is cool, and do not
smoke while refueling.
-Operators should wear heavyduty, non-slip shoes and close-fitting
clothing.

airy and spacious home. High
arched windows with raised stucco
trim give it the flavor ofa Mediterranean villa. A lofty columned
entry draws attention to the ceramic tile roofline.
Soaring vaulted ceilings in the

the feeling of roomy openness.
The living room and dining room
are both window-rich as is the
remaining front facing room,
which could be outfitted as a library, guest room or home office.
In the entry, a wooden balustrade adds grace to the open staircase that sweeps up to a balcony
overlooking the family room. A
powder room and coat closet are
close to the front door.
On the main floor, all of the
rooms along the back of the home
have skylights, in addition to a
wealth of windows. The nook is

Survey shoWs that most American workforce is
not always ~o~est when it comes to being sick!
The apparent honesty of the
American ':"orkforcc is enough to
make you SICk. A surprising 76 percent of employed adulls, recc~lly
surveyed by the Gallup Orgamzation, report that they never call in sick
to work when they aren't really sick.
When asked: "In a typical year, bow
many days, if any, do you call in sick
to work when you are really not sick?"
almost one in four (24 percent) say
thal they do call in sick at least once
a year when they are not really sick.
The new survey on Sick Days is
part of accountants on call's on-going "Profiles of the American
Worker®" series which summarizes
the opinions, attitudes and behavior
of employed Americans concerning
workplace issues.
Once is not always enough.
One in seven (15 percent), of all
who were surveyed, confess that they
call in once or twice a year. Another
9 percent admitthalthey call in sick
at least three times a year. Of these, 7
percent call in between three and five
times; one percent call in six to eight
tim~ a year ~d ~o~er one percent
admit to calhng m Sick more than
nme LUnes a year.
N_o gen~r gap.
Lttlledifference was found in the
overall response among men and
women. However, employed adults
under the age of30 are most likely to
say they call in sick when they are
noLFourinten,amongthisagegroup,
say that they call in sick one or more
times per year. Part-time employees
arealsomoreapttotakeadvantageof
an extra sick day than full-time employees. Regionally, employees living on the East Coast of the country
are also more likely than those from
regions to call in sick when they're
not (30% vs. 22%).
"I think this survey, in particular,
suggests that responsibility in the
workplace may be an acquired trail,"
says Stewart C. Libes, president and
CEO of accountants on call. "As
people get older, it seems, they are
more willing to toe the line and need
fewer days for R & R."
This survey is based upon tetephone interviews with a representaLive sarnpleof671 adults, 18 years of
age and older, who are employed
either full or part time. Interviews
Plans to unite state programs
will make employment easier
to get for displaced workers
-
A plan that will make it easier for
Kentuckians to get jobs, job training
and other employment related services was announced recently by
Governor Brereton Jones.
The Governor signed an executive order transferring the Departmentfor EmploymcntServices (DES)
from the Cabinet for lluman Resources to the Workforce Development Cabinet.
"This transfer unifies state employment and training programs so
workers can have one-stop access to
job placement, skills assessment, job
training and other related services,"
the Governor said. "Employers will
be able to hire workers, set up customized assessment and job training
programs, obtain labor market information, and get information on tax
credits and dislocated worker programs through a single source."
William Huston, Secretary of the
Workforce Development Cabinet,
said the transfer of DES makes good
management sense because "the
WorlcforceDevclopment Cabinet and
DES pursue the same outcomes...
preparation for employment and reemployment."
"Through this reorganization, the
Workforce Development Cabinet
provides all those programs necessary for Kentuckians to make the
em·p loymcnt connection," Huston
said. "The demand for displaced
worker services and retraining is
growing, and this transfer will ensure
better coordination."
Human Resources Secretary
Masten Childers II said that the services DES provides are more relevant to the Workforce Development
Cabinet and that he supports the reorganization.
''This transfer obviously makes
the cabinet more manageable. When
Governor Jones took office, CHR
bad 12,300 employees. With this
move, the number of workers will be
about 10,000, bringing the cabinet
closer to maximum efficiency and
economy," Childers said.

Orange

' DEAR WILD TIDNGS: I
was wondering if there is a
special trait with orange cats: ( 1)
Are they always male? (2) Do
they tend to be more friendly than
other cats? All of the orange cats
I've known were male, and they
were all VERY friendly and
affectionate. Thanks.-VICKI
HALE, GLENSIDE, PA.
DEAR VICKI: You're on to a
secret of the pet universe. Wild
Things, too, believes that all
orange cats are males and very
friendly based on the highly
scientific sample that (A) my cat
Buddy, who you can tell by his
name is everybody's pal, is
orange. (B) My sister-in-law's
two cats are male, friendly and
orange. Sheldon Gerstenfeld, the
well-known Chestnut Hill, Pa.,
veterinarian, has the same notion.
"I have to agree with that," he
said. "Orange cats seem to be
really friendly cats-and most of
them are male. I like them. An
orange cat comes into my
practice, it's well-balanced."
'There's definitely some kind
of cultural myth and aura
surrounding the orange cat," says
Rachel Lamb of the Humane
Society of the United States. "It
does seem to be true, but no,
they're not all male. And they're
not all nice. I knew one that was
kind of a pill. I loved him, but he
was a pill."
The best explanation we've
heard for the preponderance of
friendly, male orange cats comes
from veterinarian Susan
McDonough, owner of The Cat
Hospital in Philadelphia. It's
based on the mating of a yellow
(cat geneticist word for orange)
tomcat and female
tortoise-shelled (tri-colored) cat.
The male has your basic XY
chromosomes, just like your male
human animal. And the female
©1995 United Feature Syndicate
T
has XX, just like female folks.
The color yellow for cats is
carried in these sex chromosomes;
all other cat colors are borne in
non-sex chromosomes. Anyway,
if their kitty offspring is an XY, a
male, all he needs is ONE
YELLOW X to be a yellow, or
orange, cat. If the offspring is XX,
a female, she needs 1WO
YELLOW Xs to be a yellow cat.
(If she would have only one
yellow X, she would be a
tortoise-shell.)
So the genetic odds are there
are more male orange cats than
female orange cats in the world.
As for the friendliness,
McDonough's theory is that male
cats are generally friendlier than
female cats for biological,
survival-of-the-fittest reasons.
The female's survival depends
more on shyness, suspicion,
cunning (that find a safe nest
thing, please no outraged feminist
calls, this is speculative biology,
not politics). The male's survival
depends on aggression (that
spread the seed thing), an offshoot
of which is gregariousness.

Sunday is the turning point in the Christian
observance of Easter. About 40 days before
Easter, Christians observe Ash Wednesday,
a day when Lent begins. Lent is a time of
sorrow and fasting in preparation for
Easter. Palm Sunday is a time to start
looking toward the resurrection of Jesus
celebrated on Easter.
Palms were perhaps chosen because
they are an important source of food to
people living in tropical climates. The trees
produce a fruit that is similar to coconut in
some species.
The plant is also used for building
materials and for fuel. Strips of leaves of
the palm are woven into mats and baskets.
The palm has fanlike or featherlike
leaves. The leaves of palms average from
two to four feet. The fan-shaped leaves of
the talipot palm can grow to 15 feet wide.
The palm is an ancient group of plants,

Frogs produce their croaking noise

Frogs appeared on the earth about 180
million years ago. Today, more than 2,700
species of frogs and toads have developed.
Throughout the years, many myths have
also developed regarding frogs. One myth
said frogs fall from the sky during rain.
This myth probably developed because
some species of frogs that live underground
come out of their burrows at the mating
season during or after a rain. Because this
was the only time the people saw the frogs,
they believed the frogs fell from the sky
with the rain.

The Flo)"d County Times
Henderson County in Western
Kentucky has been home to at
least four Kentucky governors and
an artist that changed the way
America looked at its avian population.
Established in 1798, Henderson
was the 38th county to be formed
in Kentucky. The county was
named to honor Col.
Richard Henderson,
founder of the
Transylvania Company, which acquired
land from the Cherokee nation through
negotiations by Daniel
Boone with the Indian
leaders.
When the land transactions were completed in 1775, the
corporation had claimed land in
present-day Western and Central
Kentucky and North-Central
Tennessee. The land company then
formed the government of
Transylvania, but the Continental
Congress later refused to grant
Transylvania its independence and
the area came under the jurisdiction of the Virginia legislature.
The legislature, in 1778, granted
heirs of Col. Henderson around
200,000 acres, part of which lay in
the area that would become
Henderson County.
The first settlement in the area
was called Red Banks, which
eventually became the site of the
county seat, Henderson. The ftrst
county government transacted
business in a log schoolhouse.
Politics played a major role in
Henderson County. Kentucky
Governors Lazarus Powell, John
Young Brown, A. 0. Stanley and
A. B. "Happy" Chandler called
Henderson County home.
Perhaps the most well-known
among the four governors was
"Happy" Chandler who served
two terms as governor of the state,
a term as lieutenant governor, six
years as senator, six years as
baseball commissioner.
When Chandler became gover-
nor in 1935, he became known as
the "Boy Governor." As governor,
he repealed a new sales tax and
yet financed improvements in
schools, roads, health and welfare
programs and penal institutions.
He established the Government
Reorganization Act of 1936 to
road projects.
As a senator, Chandler opposed
some of the New Deal policies and
giving priority to the war in Europe during the Pacific Conflict.
He resigned from the Senate in
1945 to become baseball commissioner. During his term as com-
behind a legacy that has impacted
Kentucky.
Audubon, who was born in
Haiti and grew up in France, lived
in the town of Henderson. Although Audubon lived in the
community for a very short time,
he spent most of those eight years
and became the county scat in
1810.
At that time although Audubon
considered his drawings as a
pastime, he had more than 200
drawings of bird portraits. As
Audubon's business partner,
Ferdinand Rozier, traveled around
the country on business, Audubon
searched for birds to sketch.
Although at first success in
Henderson, Audubon's business
faltered, possibly because he paid
more attention to his drawings
than to his business. He fell into
, serious debt and, after the death of
his daughter in 1817, into depression. In 1818, he sold his belongings and moved his family back to
Louisville where he tried to earn a
living selling portraits and giving
art lessons.
Audubon tried to publish a
collection of his paintings of

he could not find a publisher who

Editor's note: This month's Homeplaces was
written in honor of Docia Baldrige Woods,former
Times society editor, and a native of Bonanza, who
died March 14 at age 83. Much ofthe information in
this article is taken from a history she wrote for the
book The Histozy a,fFioyd County.
The word "bonanza" probably conjures up images
of the long-running television western about the
Cartwright family on the Ponderosa.
But eighty years before the popular series "Bonanza" appeared on television in the late 1950s, a
community in the north-western section of the county
adopted the name.
Bonanza is a hamlet located seven miles west of
Prestonsburg, about five miles up Abbott Creek Road.
It is bere that Abbott Creek, a tributary of the Levisa
Fork of the Big Sandy River, forks to form Conley
Fork and Frazier Fork. It is also the junction of KY
1427, which leads to the Mountain Parkway and
Magoffin County, and KY 1750, which goes to
Johnson County.
To reach Bonanza from U.S. 23, a
traveler must follow Abbott
Creek Road, officially
BoNANZA
named KY 1427,
which is a paved,
narrow road that
winds along some
of the most
picturesque
countryside in the
county. Wide
bottomland, small
farms and upscale
homes and subdivisions are a part of
Abbott
Docia
Woods wrote
in her history
that according to
legend Abbott Creek got its name
from an incident involving a rabbit
"Pork Hill and one of his neighbors were riding horseback alongside
this unnamed creek in the latter part
of the 19th century when suddenly a rabbit jumped
in front of them. 'Abbott! Abbott!' exclaimed the man
riding with Hill, and due to his speech impediment,
Abbott is what this creek bas been known to this very
day."
ORIGIN OF THE NAME "BONANZA"
Along the bottomland at this convenient jtmction of
creeks and roads now known as Bonanza, settlers in
the early 1800s began building houses. On November
7, 1867, the frrst church, the United Baptist, was
organized. Charter members bad the surnames of
Ward, Hicks, Hall, Puckett, Short, Patton, Hackworth
and Slone.
In the late 1870s, residents realized they were on the
verge of creating a boomtown. Thus, people began
referring to the village as a ''future boomtown" or
bonanza
Robert Rennick wrote about the origin of the
village's name in his book Kenwcky Places Names:
"The name is alleged to have originated with the local
remark that it would be a bonanza if they ever got a
post office. They did, on January 31, 1881, named it
Bonanza and chose James Hill as fJ.rSt postmaster. The
post office closed in 1969. According to George R.
Stewart, the name, which in Spanish means 'prosperity,' described rich ore strikes in a number of western
mining areas and thus had a commendatory signifi.::ance, suggesting the wealth or potential of a place."
THE MAY FAMD...Y
By 1919, when Woods moved with her family from
Conley Fork of Abbott to Bonanza, the village bad two
churches, a post office, a general merchandise store, a
hotel, a sawmill, a grisunill, and several houses. She
noted that by the time she arrived, the watermill was
gone, as were the town's plank sidewalks, which had
"been destroyed by people riding over them on
horseback."
Elza May and son Leander May were postmasters
during that time. Elza had an attractive daughter who
caught the attention of a young school teacher.
Robert Burke, who was from Bear Hollow at East
Point, taught at Elliot Point, a one-room log school on
Abbott Creek. He fell in love with one of his pupils,
Louvada, daughter of Elza and Sallie Dotson May, and
they married.
The couple's first home was a log bouse located
near the mouth of Little Abbolt. Later the Burkes
moved to the two-story farmhouse of one of the
village's settlers, Harvey Trimble May (i836-1888).
Harvey's son, Caleb Sherman May, was a merchant,
carpenter, and a United Baptist preacher. He was also
trustee of the Copperas Lick School, which was near
his store on Abbott.
For a while, Louvada was postmaster, operating the
post office from a room in her home. When Robert and
Louvada moved to Prestonsburg where be worked for
the railroad, Louvada' s home was sold to Bob Frasure,
who was posunaster until he, too, moved from the
village.
Robert and Louvada made their mark on Prestonsburg. Burke Avenue, where their home was located,
was named in honor of Robert
BONANZA GROWS INTO A VD...LAGE
Woods recalled the mail route in those early days.
"Six days a week mail wa~ carried by horseback
from Cliff (at the mouth of Abbott), via Bonanza, to
Brainard on Middle Creek," she wrote. "Three days a
week, it was carried in this same manner, from
Gapville (in Magoffin County) via Myrtle (on the lefthand-fork of Abbott), to Bonanza and back."
Woods also recalled the stores in the village...A
two-story general merchandise store was opezated by
Will Robinson when we moved to Bonanza (in January
of 1919) and another two-story building bearing the
sign "Fairchild and Hatcher" had been "run" by
George Hatcher and his brother-in-law, Den Fairchild.
"My father operated a general merchandise store
from the latter building for several years, selling
groceries, and such items as gingham, calico, factory
(later called muslin), women's hats, shoes, hardware,
and coal oil. (He later had a building erected in the
comer of our yard, and moved his store there.)."
Woods recalled that many customers paid for
purchases at her father's store with herbs, poultry and
eggs. Woods also wrote about her father's ability as a
storekeeper. "It was said, 'If a prospective customer
'darkens the door' of his store with a nickel and Henry ;
finds it out, the customer will spend that nickel before 1
he leaves the store.' "

The school, now

In the 1920s the
Bonanza Community
Center was organized by
Alice Sarah Geddes Lloyd
of the Caney Creek Community Center, now Alice Llloyd ~
College, located at Pippa
·
Passes in Knott County. The
Caney Creek school became Caney
Junior College in 1923. The red brick, one story
schoolhouse was built not far from the old Bonanza
school. Students from Bonanza, Abbott, Middle Creek,
Little Paint and Jenny's Creek attended the new
school. The teachers, recruited by Lloyd, boarded with
parents for a month at a time. Later on the teachers
stayed at the girls' dormitory, which was the former
Hatcher Hotel. The dormittty burned several years
ago. The brick building, now abandoned, its windows
broken out, is a reminder of the once-bustling village.
Juanita Howell Shepherd, 61, who lives on a farm
on Abbott, remembers attending the Bonanza school.
"I enjoyed it so much," she said. ''The teachers were
really good and the swdents were so nice and friendly. ,
Everyone loved each other."
Shepherd attended grades one through 8 at the
SChool, and then attended Prestonsburg High School.
The school evenwally merged with the Floyd County
School system in the late 1850s or early 1960s and
swdents were bused to Prestonsburg.
CHURCHES
The Methodist Chapel, which later became Bonanza i
Methodist Church, was established around the turn of
the century. During its early years, it was pastored by
Reverends MciGnster, Moore, and Morris, who were
provided on a part-time basis by First United Methodist Church of Prestonsburg.
In 1948, a large Freewill Baptist Church was
erected. This church has an active membership.
Caleb Sherman May (1836-1917), son of early
settler Harvey Trimble May, was co-founder of the
first church in the village, the United Baptist Church.
Caleb was also the great grandfather of the late
landscape artist Russell May of Prestonsburg. In 1930,
the old building was torn down and a new structure
was erected by the members. It is still active.
PRESENT-DAY BONANZA
The Hatcher Hotel building, Lewis Baldridge home
and Woods' family home burned several years ago,
Woods noted. ''There have been oh so many changes
in Bonanza since I last lived there (in the 1930s)"
Woods wrote. "Many of the houses have been replaced, and a few trailers are scattered among them.
Most of the few people still living are now scattered to
far-off places...
"I'd like to thank the Good Lord for Bonanza, for
my family and neighbors of the little village on Abbott,
and for Alice Lloyd, who made it possible for some of
us to build educationally on the foundation provided
during those never-to-be-forgotten years."

Take Care When Using
Medicine Measuring Devices
In the Walt Disney movie, Mary
Poppins suggests a "spoonful" as the
correct dose of sugar to ease the notso-pleasant things in life, like taking
bad-tasting medicine. But when
giving or taking medicine, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration warns
consumers to put away their spoons
and use a more exact measure-the
proper dosing device.
Sugar aside, consumers also should
take steps to make sure parts of the
dosing device don't go down with the
medication. The FDA has received
reports of swallowing or choking on
caps of syringes used to give liquid
medicines, although no deaths have
occurred.
While the FDA's warnings apply to
everyone, they especially target
parents and others who care for
infants, toddlers and ailing older
people who take liquid medicines.
The advice applies whether the
medicine is prescription or over-thecounter and refers to measuring
devices packaged with the medicine,
sold separately or handed out by
phannacists, doctors or other health
professionals.
Common measuring devices are
syringes, droppers, round-shaped
dosing spoons and small pla.stic cups.
These devices have markings to show
the right amount of medicine to give
or take. If these devices aren't available, regular measuring spoons are the
next best choice-but not tableware
spoons because they're not exact.
The FDA urges caution when using
syringes. Many come with a cap. The
cap is supposed to be removed before
the medicine is drawn up into the
syringe. But with some syringes, ·
medicines can be drawn up even with
the cap still in place. Sometimes the
cap is hard to see, and if it's left on
when the syringe is put in the mouth,
it can get into the windpipe and choke
the person.
The FDA has received reports of
babies swallowing or choking on caps
of syringes used to give liquid medicines, although no deaths have been
reported. FDA advises users toremove the cap first. And, unless the
syringe is filled with medicine for
later use, throw out the cap right
away.
The FDA also suggests that consumers:
• Follow label directions for dosage
amounts and times. If you have questions, ask your phannacist.
• If a plastic cup comes with the
medicine, use it. Don't substitute a cup
from another product.

James B. Goode said that as a child
"I had the image of a poet as a sissy."
Yet, "In my secret, deepest, darkest
parts, I wanted to be a writer, but I
didn't think I had the skill."
Today, at 46, the Harlan County
native is a creative writer, journalist,
filmmaker, teacher; but foremost, he
is a poet. He has written four books ot
poetry and recently signed a contract
with the University of Kentucky press
for his fifth book.
"I'm writing a book on coal as a
process for students your age," he
told students at the Piarist School at
Martin where he was guest speaker
on Wednesday, March 29.
Goode, who is Director of the Appalachian Archives and Full Professor
in the English Department at Southeast Community College in
Cumberland, talked to students about
"writing as a way to discover what
kind of person you are-a way of
exploration," he said.
The teacher read poems from his
third book of poetry, Up From the
Mines·. that explores the experience of
the Appalachian coal miner.
Goode told the students that writing
is about experiences. While writing
Up From the Mines, he said he remembered characters he had known
and experiences he had growing up in
a coal camp, and he expressed those
memories through poems. As an
example, he read Hassie and
Geraldine, a poem about a childhood
friend, Geraldine, who remained
repressed throughout adulthood by
her over protective, domineering
mother, Hassie.
Goode also read the poem One
Episode In The Camp, which described an incident that involved his
alcoholic grandfather, who was so
violent when drunk that often he
threatened his beloved wife with a
shotgun.
The son of coal miner, Goode was
born and raised in Benham, a company coal town in Harlan County
built by International Harvestor. His
grandfather died, Goode's father,
James, had to forsake a college schol-
arship to begin work in the mines.
w
Goode's father would not allow a
s
television in the home, but he would • b
buy all the books his son wanted. One
was titled One hundred and One
Poems, a book of classic poetry that
fascinated young Goode. "I wanted to
be Henry Wadsworth," he said.
Goode's first poem revealed little of
the gifted poet he was to become. "I
wrote my first poem in the seventh
grade. It was pretty bad," he said with*
a chuckle. 'Then I started reading."
Although his mother ,h ad 10 p.m.
"lights out" curfew, Goode broke the
rule to read. "I kept a flashlight under
my bed and would read until12 or
one in the morning."
In high school, Goode's desire to be
a poet waned and he found other
interests-namely basketball, girls,
and science. He won several science
awards in high school, and a college •
scholarship in chemistry. As a freshman at Southeast Community College
in Harlan County he was on track to
become a chemical engineer. That
was, until he took English composition under an English professor who
just happened to be a poet. "He
changed my life," Goode told his
audience.
The young college student changed
his major to English, started writing
poetry and edited the college newspa~
per. After graduating from the University of Kentucky, he taught two years
in public schools in Louisville. He
returned to Southeast Community
College where he presently teaches
Appalachian Studies. He has also
served as producer and director of
two documentaries which are used in
public schools, colleges and universities. The films produced by the college, are about two coal towns in
•
Harlan County. The titles are: "Coal,
Steel and Men: The Benham Story,"
and "Lynch: A Coal Legacy."
"We've sold a lot of them," Goode
said about the documentaries. "The
Lynch film has been shown all over
the world."
Although he would earn more
money had he become a chemical
engineer, Goode said he has never
regretted his decision to write and
teach. "I couldn't see myself not

ONE EPISODE IN THE CAMP
I tried to be small as a mouse
Hiding in my head
On the high banister porch.
He was drunk agam
And sat with a rifle across his lap.
"Cross this line old woman
And I'll blow your brains out!"
He chalked an imaginary line
With the steel toe of his mining boot.
Her lip was tight
And white all across.
Enough is enough, and too much is nasty!"
She said, jumped across the line,
And landed on both feet
With a sharp slap of her Old Lady Comforts
On the grey painted porch floor.
He fired the gun
Into the tongue and groove ceiling
And made a hole I could see blue through
From then on.
THE DULCIMER MAKER
His aged hands,
Astute,
Judged the faces of the wood
And pulled from there
Winged flights of sound.
Beneath the empty carved hearts
Wrought with deft fingers
From the pulses of the woodland,
We heard an ancient spirit call.
He left hymns
In the twilight cabin rooms,
Ballads
On the evening porches,
Reels
Dancing across cool night hollows,
Imagination
In the minds of young children
And songs
To rustle
In the cabin wood.

Reaping the benefits
of KERA: It takes
the whole village
by Carol Stumbo
Region 8 Director
•
•
A couple of years ago. in comparing the
education in the United States with that of
children of other countries, experts concluded that
one of the main differences was the fact that in
less sophisticated cultures, everyone in the village
took responsibility for the learning of young
people, and when that kind of committment was
made, the results were remarkable.
Nancy Sutton, the curriculum consultant from
the Region 8 Service Center, and I saw a demonstration of that philosophy in action when we
attended a meeting at the board office in Pike
County several weeks ago. A group of parents,
teachers, administrators, and board members were
considering the question of raising the graduation
requirements for all of the high schools in the
county. If adopted, the policy would go into
effect over a period of years and make education
in Pike County considerably more demanding.
The superintendent and members of the Pike
County Board of Education did something in the
meeting that I haven't seen much of in the
mountains. After welcoming everyone, the
superintendent removed himself from the discussion and turned the responsibility of the meeting
over to an instructional supervisor and the principal of one of the high schools.
For the next couple of hours, Superintendent
Johns sat on the sidelines and listened. Each high
school principal began by expressing his or her
feelings toward the proposal. Surprisingly, the
principals were unified in their support of the
change. As unusual as that type of unity was,
though alone, it wouldn't have made the meeting
all that memorable. Somewhere, however, in the
middle of tllis process, other events took place,
and it was then that the meeting became a unique
experience.
Parents, students and teachers began to speak
and what the decision makers heard were, for the
most part, what you would expect - opposing
points of view based on personal concerns. A
student was upset that he might not be able to
enroll in the vocational program that he had been
looking forward to for years, music and art
teachers were worried that their courses might be
less important under a new system, a parent
expressed tlte concern that the group was expecting too much of students.
Board members then spoke about the phone
calls that they had received from other parents
who were fearful of the change. They felt the
need to represent the people that had elected them
and who were honestly concerned about the
changes. Every possible opinion was being
expressed.
In an emotional moment, a young parent spoke
eloquently of her dreams for her own children
and those in Pike County. Although I can't repeat
her exact words, what she said touched all of us
and went something like this: "Why wouldn't
parents," she asked. "want the best for their
children? Why would we want to limit them? We
need to help them reach for more, to want more.
We need to believe in them and their potential
and to help them reach for the stars." Her words
were followed by applause and seemed to bring
the group back to the focus that Pike County has
adopted as its mission statement: "Children first"
I don't think it was a surprise that the proposal
was approved but I am also enough of a realist to
know that some people left the meeting not
completely convinced. Some people still viewed
the issue from their own perspective, but what
made the meeting different was that everyone had
transcended those personal interests. There had
been an opportunity for people to express their
fears, frustrations, and grievances.
Board members had also shared responsibility
for education by saying openly to everyone, "We
need your help in understanding what needs to be
done." The group listened to different view points
and respected those, without taking offense or
becoming upset and in the end, they chose
children first over thctr own personal interests,
and while tht! solution may need to be changed or
modified in the future, the village had made a
commitment to educating young people.
What should be expected from schools:
Shared responsibility for educating students:
School Da()ed Decision Making Councils give
Kentucky parents, teachers, and administrators an
opportunity to share in the responsibility of
educating young people by participating directly
through the creation of policies that affect
schools. While many SBDM councils are still
wrestling with matters pertaining to the day-today operations of the school that are more appropriately handled by school personnel or struggling
with power issues, some councils are beginning to
move into policy areas that directly impact
student learning and performance.
More parents need to become involved in
SBDM councils and their activities. They should
expect that schools will listen to their concerns.
Business and community leaders are also important partners. It takes the whole village to educate
the child and in the end, the quality of that
education will affect everyone in the community.
Parents and school personnel need to solicit and
encourage the involvement of everyone in the
community.
Higher standards and performance:
At the heart of the Kentucky Education Reform
Act is the belief in the importance of high expectations, the desire for a better education for all
students. In practice, that philosophy means, as
Wednesday, AprilS, 1995- etc. 7
the young Pike County parent said, that everyone
connected to schools and children must believe in
students and the fact that they can do and be more
than we have asked of them before. Learning can
be exciting Children begin school eager to learn.
We need to ensure that eagerness continues.
Current educational research is beginning to
show that student intelligence is not pre-determined by birth but is a result of young people
being asked to use their intelligence in stimulating
activities on a daily basis. In other words, we can
increase their intelligence through the work being
required of them .
Realization that schools may look difficult:
Change scares most people, even educators,
but schools in Kentucky are probably going to
look and be different from those that most adults
attended. Students may learn in ways that seem
foreign and strange to us. Educators, as well
parents, need time to adjust to new ways of doing
things and will have to acquire news skills and
knowledge.
This doesn't mean that any and all changes
should be accepted without question. Everyone
needs to be knowledgeable about changes that are
being proposed but at the same time, we should
not reject the changes outright because they are
different from what we have experienced in
schools.
What adults experienced in school:
• Schools were expected to prepare the majority of students for work in factories.
• Students were asked to work alone and any
talking or assistance, in fact, was viewed as a
form of cheating.
• Most of the adults, including teachers, who
have graduated from such schools came to believe
that children learn best when they are seated
quietly in rows, listening to the teacher talk.
• Most of the facts that students learned was
through memorization. Answers were either right
or wrong with very little variation.
Changes in schools:
• Schools are one of the few places where
people are still expected to learn in isolation.
• The number of factories have declined in the
U.S. but where assembly lines still exist, robots
often do the mechanical work. Industries are now
looking for employees who can work in teams
and continue to learn on-the-job.
• Research shows us that students can learn
from one another, that when we teach others, we
are also internalizing learning.
• Students learn best when they are able to talk
about the material being presented to them and
while memorization should be part of learning, it
is not the only way to learn or a way that leads to
in-depth learning.

Educational Reform Act, contact Region 8

The Mysterious Snurgel
Gurgels That Lived
in the Mountain
One day a little girl named Julie went into the
woods and never came back! No one knew that she
was being held hostage in the Snurgel Gurgel's cave.
.....
::.: :...: ..·
_. _-·_ :.; f= ~-:T ·~ ~·=··
The cave was dark and creepy. They ate a food called
Marshen Melon and drank a drink called Goony. It
tasted awful but she cat it and drank it. "Please l~t me
go, I'm only seven," said Julie.
No, there's many of us and we always wanted a
little girl to make our cave a home," said Snurgel. "But
how did you get here?" asked Julie. "We came from
Mars on a spaceship. We hatched from eggs," answered Snurgel. "Now can I go?" asked Julie. "No!
No!," said Snurgel Gurgel.
"Help," Julie screamed.
"Don't do that," Snurgel said.
"But I'm scared and want to go home," she said.
The Snurgel Gurgels made her bathe in a canoe in
steaming hot water. The next morning after breakfast,
she tided up the cave like a house. By the time she was
finished, she was exhausted. She went to bed and
dreamed of a handsome prince saving her some day.
Years passed and Julie still dreamed the dream. She
ran away one day while the Snurgel Gurgels were
asleep with her prince that she had dreamed about. He
took her to his castle near a babbling brook.
They fell in love and got married. They had a

As Jill got older. they didn't know that the Snurgel
Gurgels were in the woods watching her everyday and
waiting for her to get old enough to take her to their
cave. A few months later, Jill started walking. She
wandered out of the castle into the back yard and the
Snurgel Gurgels ran with her.
Julie knew when Jill was missing that the Snurgel
Gurgels had taken her.
Julie went to tell the prince. They ran up the
mountain to the castle. Julie beard Jill crying and she
ran into the cave. The Snurgel Gurgels were getting
ready to go back to Mars and take Jill with them.
Julie said, "Please don't take our daughter away.
Humans can't live on Mars."
The prince told the Snurgel Gurgels that if they
would leave Jill, they could come back and visit her.
They did leave Jill. Their research on earth was
finished. The Snurgel Gurgels visited often. They
thought humans were nice. They all lived happily ever
after.

back pain does not indicate any serious

surgery appears to help only one in 100
people with acute low back problems.
The AHCPR guidelines provide the
following diagnosis
guidelines.
1. Health care providers
should be on the lookout
for red flags-symptoms
such as bruising, fever,
patterns of nerve involvement-that can indicate
more serious underlying
conditions. such as
fractures, tumors, infections or spinal nerve root
problems.
2. Unless any of these
warnings are present,
special studies and diagnostic tests are not recommended during the first
month of symptoms. If
symptoms persist for more
than a month, they may
warrant X-rays, computerized tomography, magnetic
resonance imaging,
myelography, electromyonerve
graphy, H-reflex tests,
sensory evoked potentials
or bone scans.
The AHCPR guidelines
provide the following
treatment recommendations.
1. Safe and acceptable
medications for pain
control are acetaminophen,
found in Tylenol and other brands;
ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) sold under brand
names such as Advil or Naproxen; and
aspirin. Muscle relaxants and opioid
analgesics, such as codeine, are shortterm options but appear to be no more
effective than NSAIDs and may cause
drowsiness and other side effects in up to
35 percent of the people who take them.
2. Spinal manipulation, a treatment
performed primarily by chiropractors,
can be helpful when symptoms begin,
but the patient should be reevaluated if
there is no symptom improvement after
four weeks.
3. Low-stress exercise such as walking, swimming or biking can be started
during the ftrst two weeks after symptoms begin, if the problems are mild or
moderate.
4. Conditioning exercises for trunk
muscles can be started and gradually
increased after the first two weeks of
symptoms.
The AHCPR guidelines recommend
against the following treatments.
1. Spinal traction, biofeedback, TENS,
acupuncture, lumbar corsets, support
belts and back machines are not recommended since there was no scientific
proof of their effectiveness.
2. Extended bed rest, oral steroids,
colchicine, antidepressants,
phenylbutazone, local anesthetic injections and corticosteriods all carry risks
that do not statistically outweigh the
benefits.
3. Hot/cold applications, massage,
ultrasound and laser treatment do not
show any benefit that justiftes the cost of
the procedures.

water in the boiler into high-pressure
steam. This rushes through turbines and
makes them spin, and the spinning motion
turns a generator which makes the
electricity. The hot water is cooled for
recycling in the large cooling towers.

Earlier aircraft went even further: A Russian airliner of

fact that the airplane's speed would now be considered

MACCill M39 RACING SEAPLANE, 1926:
Seaplanes and flying boats take off from and land on
water. On seaplanes only the floats touch the water, but
on flying boats the fuselage itself is partly submerged.
Modem seaplanes have two large floats. Some early
seaplanes bad an additional tailfloat, or a large central
float balanced by small wingtip floats. Hying boats
have a specially shaped fuselage, similar to the bull of
a ship, that runs easily across water. Like centerfloat
seaplanes, they need stabilizing wingtip floats. A few
early flying boats bad twin bulls; others, instead of
floats, bad deep, stubby wings that rested on the water.
Due to the lack of adequate runways, flying boats were
widely used as passenger aircraft until the end of
World War II. Both types of marine aircraft were also
used for various military tasks, including dropping
torpedoes. bombing reconnaissance and transport

Red Cross
and Clara Barton
One of the worst battles in history
was fought at Solferino in northern
Italy in 1859. Henri Dunant, a young
Swiss businessman, saw this battle. He
got volunteers to help the many
wounded and dying soldiers. Dunant
never forgot this experience. Later he
suggested that a world conference be
held to form societies of volunteers to
aid the wounded in wartime.
The first of these conferences was
held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1863.
Today's international Red Cross
movement grew out of this meeting.
RED CROSS
Red Cross is an organization that
works to relieve human suffering.
More than 135 nations have Red
Cross societies. Each national Red
Cross society carries on its own program. However, Red Cross workers in
all parts of the world are united in their
aims. They try to prevent misery in
time of war or peace, and serve all
peoples, regardless of race, nationality,
or religion.
The name Red Cross comes from the
organization's flag, a red cross on a
white background. The flag honors
Switzerland, where the Red Cross was
founded in 1863.
For 23 years she directed Red Cross
work in every great disaster. She resigned in 1904. Clara Barton died April
12, 1912, in Glen Echo, Maryland.

Have you ever heard of a strange animal called the
naked mole-rat? This East-African rodent is unique
in many \vays.

There may be only one "king''
or perhaps two.
About three to five inches long. the naked mole-rat
i~ " naked"' in that it has wrinkled. pink skin \Vith
only a few hairs. h has protruding front teeth
v.hich make it resemble something like a "pocketsized walrus.'' What do you think the big front
teeth are for? They arc used like chisels for
tunneling underground. Naked mole-rats tunnel to
find and eat large underground roots and tubers
(tubers are large bulbs like potatoes or turnips).
A group called the "'loafers"' spend tim.e with the
queen and king. but spring to action if a snake or
some other invader threatens the co lony. They chase
away or kill the enemy and are sometimes injured or
killed doing this soldierly work. Smaller than loafers
are the "diggers," which include most of the naked
mole-rats in the colony. They do most of the work.
With their chisel-like teeth. they create a far-ranging
underground tunnel system complete with '•Jiving
rooms ," "\\ aste-disposal centers;· and a
··central nesting area." The diggers find
the food. chop it up. and deliver bits of root
to the queen, king, loafers and babies.
The strangest thing
about the naked
mole-rats is that
their social structure
is similar to that of social
insects such as ants. bees and termites. To
illustrate. let's look into a termite nest. We would
find a queen and a king termite. Their sole purpose
is to produce baby termites. We would also find
extra-strong soldier termites which guard the ne-.t.
Most of the termites are workers which
build the nest and gather food.
Surptisingly. naked mole-rats
have almost the same organization.

there is only one female which produces

No other vertebrate (animals with a backbone) has
a socral structure anything like this . Naked mole-rats
are clearly not related to termites which are
invertebrates (animals without a backbone). Why did
these two creatures adapt similar social systems?
Biologists (scientists who study living things) are not
sure. but it is clear that these
systems work. And really, all
·o
that matters is that an ani mal's way
of life. however common or bizarre. results in
survival and continuation of the specie<;. When two
unrelated animal species like the naked mole-rat and
tem1ite adapt similar survival strategies. biologists
call it comergcnce.
What do you think happens if a queen naked
mo le-rat dies or is removed from the colony?
The colony is thrown into confusion. Indi\'iduals
attack each other in order to compete for the
"best" jobs. When a new queen finally emerges
from the confusion, things settle down and the
fighting stops.
It would be interesting to observe a colony of
naked mole-rats. T hese animals like to be close
to one another. often lying shou lder to shoulder
and belly to back. Privacy would be dif1icult to
tind in the underground world of the naked molerat. Even digging is a communal enterprise. A
digger chisels away some ~oil at the end of a
tunnel and shuttles backward with the soil
between its feet. At the same time, a line of
fellow diggers is waiting to also chisel and
shuttle backward. The fonvard-movi ng ani mals

ones . Of course. after dumping the soil. the
digger gets back in line for another cycle.
If you were a naked mole-rat. which job would

until she was swimming in the pool. The door disappeared, and
she washed up upon a riverbank.
As she was shaking off the water, along carne the White
Rabbit mumbling, "Oh, my fur and whiskers! Where could I
have put them?" He said to her angrily, "Mary Ann! Run home
this minute and fetch me a pair of gloves and a fan!" "He has
mistaken me for his housemaid," Alice said to herself. But off
she ran until she came to his house. Upstairs she found a tiny pair
of gloves and a fan, along with a corked bottle. Curious, she
drank the bottle's contents and soon felt herself growing as
before. In a moment her head had crashed against the ceiling, her
ann was sticking out the window, and one foot was going up the
chimney. Outside, the rabbit and a lizard named Bill pelted Alice
with pebbles. As the pebbles hit her, they became little cakes.
Alice swallowed one and shrank until she was small enough to fit
through the door.
Alice wandered until she carne upon a caterpillar, who sat
upon a mushroom, smoking a kind of pipe called a hookah.
"Who are you?" he said.
Alice replied, "I-I hardly know, sir-at least I know who I
was when I got up this morning, but I have changed since."
sternly.
"Explain yourself!" said the
Alice in Wonderland
Edited by Professor E.D. Hirsch Jr.
If you've never read "Alice in Wonderland," you're in for a
world of fun. In it a little girl named Alice falls into a mad and
magical world where rabbits, caterpillars and playing cards can
talk and little girls can shrink or grow simply fiy eating little bites
of mushroom.
It was written over I 00 years ago by a professor at Oxford
University in England, Charles Dodgson. Writing under the
name of Lewis Carroll, Dodgson played with ideas from mathematics and logic (the study of reasoning) to make Wonderland
as illogical and kooky as possible. In the passages that follow
you'll meet some of Wonderland's maddest and most loved
characters-the White Rabbit, the Chesire Cat and the Mad
Hatter-and you can see for yourself what a strange adventure
Alice has.-E.D. Hirsch Jr.
Alice was tired of sitting on the bank watching her sister read
a book with no pictures in it. Suddenly a white rabbit in waistcoat
ran by. "Oh, dear! I shall be late!" said the rabbit, looking anxiously at his watch. Alice ran after the rabbit and followed it right
down a large rabbit hole.
Alice fell down the hole for a long time, until at last she
• landed with a thump. Here was a garden door, too tiny for her to
pass through, and a little table with a bottle labeled, "Drink Me."
Alice drank the delicious mixture and soon began to feel like a
telescope opening out.
"Goodbye, feet!" she cried, growing taller and taller. When
she stopped growing, she was nine feet high and had to lie down
on her side to look into the garden, where she longed to go. She
began to cry; her tears fell by the gallons, until a pool had formed
around her feet. Then suddenly, she grew smaller and smaller,
•
'1 can't," said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see."
"I don't see," said the caterpillar.
"Well, I should like to be a little larger," said Alice. ''Three
inches is such a wretched height to be."
'1t is a very good height indeed!" said the caterpillar angrily
(for the caterpillar was exactly three inches high). It shook itself,
got down, and crawled away into the grass, remarking.
"One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will
make you grow shorter."
''The other side of what?" thought Alice to herself. "Of the
mushroom," said the caterpillar as it disappeared, just as if she
had spoken out loud. Alice stretched her anns around the mushroom and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand. Very
carefully, she nibbled first at one and then at the other, growing
sometimes taller, and sometimes shorter, until she brought
herself back to her usual height.
Next Alice carne upon a cat, sitting in a tree and grinning from
ear to ear. "I never saw a cat grin before," she said.
"I am a Cheshire cat," explained the cat.
"Would you tell me," she said, "which way I ought to go?"
"That depends on where you want to get to," said the cat. "In
that direction," the cat said, waiving its right paw, "lives a' Hatter,
and in that direction," waving the left, "lives a March Hare. Visit
whichever you like: they're both mad."
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the cat, "we're all mad here."
Then it vanished slowly, beginning with the tail and ending with
the grin, which lingered after the rest was gone.
Alice soon carne upon a large table set out under a tree, where
the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and a dormouse were crowded
together at one comer, having tea.
"No room! No room!" they cried out when they saw Alice
coming.
"But there is plenty of room!" she said. They made a place for
her, but whenever she began to pour her tea, they all moved
down one chair and Alice found a used empty cup in front of
her. She listened to their nonsense for some time, and at last
marched away, thinking that it was the stupidest tea party she
had ever attended. Suddenly, in front of her she saw the little
door leading into the beautiful garden. She nibbled at the bit of
mushroom in her left hand until she was small enough. Then in
she went.
Inside she saw three men who looked exactly like playing
cards, busily slapping red paint onto a white rosebush. "The
Queen wanted red, you see," said the number-two card to Alice.
"But we planted white by mistake. She'll be furious if she finds
out!" There was a flourish of trumpets and Alice saw a parade of
card people coming her way, led by the Queen of Hearts.
"Who's painting the roses red?" the Queen screamed. "Off
with their heads!" Immediately the three cards were seized and
carried off. Then the Queen invited Alice to play croquet.
The croquet game proved to be rather difficult, as the players
used flamingos turned upside down for mallets and hedgehogs
for balls. Throughout the game, the Queen lost her temper at one
player after another until soon all of them but Alice had lost thein
heads. Finding the game tedious, Alice nibbled a bit of the
mushroom and instantly grew very tall.
'1 decree that no one over nine feet high shall rem3;in in the
kingdom!" the Queen screamed furiously. "Off with her head!"
"Who cares for you?" said Alice. "You're nothing but a pack
of cards!" At this the whole pack rose up into the air, and carne
flying down upon her; she gave a little scream and tried to beat
them off, and found herself lying on the bank, with her head in
her sister's lap. "Oh, I've had such a curious dream!" said Alice.
And she told her sister all the strange adventures you have just
been reading about.

A FAMILY PHYSICIAN'S DISCUSSION OF IMPORTANT HEALTH ISSUES
In this section of the paper, on a monthly basis, there will be topics that hopefully will help
you to understand more about your health and what you can do to improve it We will be
discussing such topics as: hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, PMS,
migraine headaches, fever in children and asthma. Our subject this month will be:
INSOMNIA: IF YOU CAN'T SLEEP, WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT ITI
Insomnia ~sel is not adisease but~ is your body's way oftelling you that something is wrong. A lot of patients have trouble fallilg asleep,
others have trouble staying asleep durilg the night and some find they awaken too early in the morning and are unable to get back to sleep.
There are a lot of causes for insomnia that can be addressed and probably corraded.
HOW MANY HOURS SHOULD I SLEEP AT NIGHT? How much sleep any ildividual needs is variable. Some people get by well on
only about six hours of sleep while others may need 10. Most aduRs need about seven to eight hours of sleep in Ofder to feel their best.
The best way to determine~ you are not ge«ing enough sleep is based upon how you feel the following day.lf you are sleepy and fall asleep
easily when just silling around, you may not be ge«ing enough sleep.
One must also realize that as you get older you may have changing sleep patterns. For example, you may take naps during the day
and sleep less at night.
IF I HAVE INSOMNIA DO I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM? Insomnia, a•Milgh physically not a serious problem, may certailly make
you feel bad. You may feel less able to do your wort< and become more tense and anxious. People with insomnia usualy feel tired, irritable
and depressed. They also have trouble concentrating. Probably one of the most serious problems associated w•h insomnia is faling asleep
at the steerilg wheel. This resuhs in mu.iple automobile accident deaths and injuries each year. If you have significant insomnia~ is
important to discuss this with your family physician. Physicians are able nowto do sleep studies which may document the lype of sleeping
problem you have and suggest the most appropriate lypes of treatment.
SHOULDN'T I BE TAKING SLEEPING PILLS TO HELP ME? In general, sleeping medications should be used only as a temporary
form of relief and they certainly are not a cure. They are best used only for a few weeks. Regular use of sleeping medications can lead to
rebound ilsomnia. This is what happens when a personqu~s taking sleeping pills and the insomniacomes back worse than~ was originally.
In this case, you have actually aggravated your insomnia by using sleeping pills. Also, the longer you take sleepilg pills the less ape they

your family physician can help you.
WHATTYPESOFTREATMENTARETHEREFORINSOMNIA?Thetreatmentofinsomniamaybeassimpleaseliminatingthecause.
If insomnia is a transient problem associated with some stress that you have been experiencing, it should correc1 itself after your stress
is alleviated. If your insomnia is related to stress, you may need to find ways of relieving or coping with your stress. You may also need
treatment for depression and your family doctor is the best one to discuss this with.
The following are some things that you can do to help you sleep:
1. Start an exercise program but do not exercise withil fr.oe hours of going to bed.
2. One of the most common problems is worrying about things after you go to bed. You should make a concerted effort not to do this.
Set another time aside for worrying. For example, you could spend about 30 minutes to an hour after dinner to vme down on paper all of
the things that are worrying you and what the possible solutions are. Leaving this on the table or in a drawer when you go to bed and focus
on not thinking about the things on the list.
3. You may try eating a light snack before going to bed but
eat too much just before bedtime. A glass of warm milk or cheese and
crackers may be all you need.
4. Above all, avoid or imit your uses of caffeine prodllds such as soft drinks, tea, chocolate, etc. for up to eight hours before you go
to bed. Also, be aware that tobacco, decongestants and aspartame, which is the product in diet drinks, can cause insomnia. You should
also be aware th11t while alcohol may help you to get to sleep, ~is often associated w•h a rebound awakening in about for cr five hours.
5. Avoid taking daytime naps • they seem to make your insomnia worse.
6. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. This will help to train your body to sleep at night.
7. Make sure the bedroom is quiet and dark.lf outside noise is aproblem use a fan to mask the noise or use acommercial sound maker.
Ear plugs may also be used. You might also want to have an established routine before going to bed. Call~ your "getting ready" routine.
For example, you might take a warm bath then read for about 20 minutes just before going to bed. Soon you win form a pa«em that may
help you to get sleepy.
8. Be sure to use the bedroom only for sleeping. Do not eat, talk, have conversation or work on business or bills in your bedroom.
9. Remember, you cannot force yourself to sleep. The more you try to force yourselto sleep, the more anxious you get and the less
likely you are to be successful. You may need to get bad< out of bed, go into another room and do some activity until you are sleepy and
then come back to bed.

Caravan participants want to 'make a statement' :
Sheriff responds to group's concerns
by Susan Allen
S laff Writer
(Editor's Note: The following is
one of a series of interviews with
Floyd County officials to discuss issues ofpublic concern in the county.)
Organizers of a "caravan against
Floyd County corruption" are not
necessarily out to get the attention of
elected county officials Saturday, but
they have gotten the attention of one
official, whose office the group has
asked to be investigated.
InalettertotheeditortotheTimes,
the group's spokesperson, Carolyn
Rowe, said that organizers want a
motorcade to the Floyd courthouse
on Saturday "to make a statement"
"We don't necessarily want the
attention of those people in the courtbouse, we want the attention ofpeople
higher up," the letter noted. "Then,
maybe they will take a closer look at
the situation here in Floyd County
and begin a full scale investigation
on the state level or maybe on the
federal level."
Saturday's event was organized
after newly-appointed Judge-Executive BobMeyerannouncedlastmonth
that there was not enough money in
the county coffers to put approximately $800,000 in a separate 911
bank account.
The group has asked for investigations concerning the 911 account;
$2.5 million WlaccoWlted for in user
fees in the solid waste department;
and $26,000 missing from the Floyd
CoWlty Sheriffs Office.
On Thursday, Sheriff Paul Hunt
Thompson said his office bas been
targeted by the group, in part, for
political and personal reasons, but he
basically believes that county government should be open and respon-:
sive tQ. the people.
"I think that most of the people
that are involved or who are participating (in the event) are like me: they
are for honest and responsive government," Thompson said. "I'm for it
100 percent. It is certainly freedom of
expression and I think that the people
primarily want an open government.

Atotalofnineforestftres.inFloyd,
Pike and Martin counties won't be
under control until some rain falls,
according to state forestry officials.
A Jackson weatherofficalreported
a slight chance of rain Saturday.
Bernie Andersen, state urban forestry coordinator from Frankfort, said
there are five rues in Floyd County,
three in Pike County and one in Martin County. The largest of these is a
2,000 acre fire contained at Gennan
Bridge.
Andersen said there are 60 national guardsmen working in five
ground crews. The grounds crew's
leader is from the Forestry Division.
There are also two Blackhawk helicopters dropping 600 gallon buckets
of water.
"Not all the ftres are contained,"
said Andersen. "However, we do have
people working on them."
Andersen said most of the ftres
were up in the mountains and he
didn't know if any homes were in
danger. He said their department
hadn't received any calls.
The forest ftres in this region are
part of the state of emergency declared by Governor Brereton C. Jones.
Jones declared a state of emergency in 33 Eastern Kentucky counties and doubled the number of Army
National Guard troops helping fight
the fires on Wednesday.
. Jones also declared it illegal for
any unauthorized personnel to enter
privateorpublicforestandbushlands
in those counties, except on highways or well-defined private roads.
State officials have estimated that
up to a third of the recent ftres involved arson.

Kentucky National Guardsmen are using Blackhawk helicopters in Floyd and surrounding counties to battle
forest fires. Governor Brereton Jones declared a state of emergency in 33 Eastern Kentucky counties due to
an outbreak of forest fires. The helicopters are equipped with 600-gallon buckets to dump water on the fires.

Cable dazzles Polish guests
A six-man delegation from Poland is touring Eastern Kentucky to
learn how cable-television and telephone service can be provided to
rural areas in their country.
The delegation visited the transmission tower for Tel-com, a cableTV company in Floyd County. They
also visited Harold Telephone Company (Harold) and Thacker-Grigsby
Telephone Company (Hindman) on
Tuesday.
The Polish officials will also meet
with the Kentucky Science and Technology Council in Lexington, to learn
about a pilot rural "televillage"
project, started by the council. The
televillage uses the latest in telecommunications technology to stimulate
rural community development
The tour is part of a ten-day study
tour in the United States known as
"Telecom Linkages for Rural Devel-
opment" which is hosted and organized by the National Telephone
Cooperative Association (NfCA), a
non-profit association representing
nearly 500 cooperative and commercial rural telephone companies.
The tour is also a part of a project
called "Training and Technical AssistanceProgramforPolisbTelecommunications Policy Makers and
Implementers."
The project and study tour are
funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID),
which administers the U.S. Foreign
Assistance Program, providing economic and humanitarian assistance
in more than 80 countries.
The project's goal is to encourage
existing and potential private telecommunications providers in Poland.
''The goal ofour international program is to assist rural areas, towns
and even small cities in developing
countries to obtain telecommunications service," said Marlee Norton,
NfCA general manager of international programs.
NfCA has been working with
Poland since 1990. The association
and its partner institutions have established two community-owned telephone systems, which serve 6,000
homes and businesses. The Wist and
Tyczyn telephone cooperatives began operation in 1992, and were the
flrst private telephone systems in
Poland.
Poland's difficulty isn't lack of
technical knowledge, said Janusz
Lato, the group's interpreter. The
problem is that nobody knows bow to
run a business.
One television cooperative, for
instance, isconsidering buying a small

It looks likes Floyd County's Fiscal Court won't be borrowing any
money to replenish the county's depleted 911 fWldbecauseexcessmonieshave beenfoundinotheraccounts.
A special fiscal court meeting is
set for today (Friday) at 2 p.m. for the
court to approve the transfer of funds
to the E-911 special bank account.
Floyd Judge-Executive Bob
Meyer said Thursday that funds have
been found to put the approximately
$800,000 into the 911 account.
"Basically, we, the county treasurer and I, have been going through
the books for the past two days and
have found that additional monies
were budgeted in fringe benefits,"
Meyer said. "We went back two years
to determine how much bad been
over budgeted in fringe benefits in
the road and LGEA (Local GovemmentEconomicAssistance) accounts.
There is a fairly significant amount
of funds to do the transfers."
Meyer reported last month that, at
the time, there was not enough money
in the county's general fund to transfer $800,000 to the 911 account.
Meyer said that the county had been
"robbing Peter to pay Paul" and that
911 funds were used in the process.
Since that time, a class action lawsuit was filed by three local attorneys
seeking the refund of 911 monies to
telephone customers. Also, County
Attorney Jim Hammond filed suit to
determine if the court could adopt an
ordinance authorizing the special tax
and to make it retroactive to March
199(), when the court began collecting the 89-cent per month surcharge.
The Floyd County Times reported
in February 1994 that the court did
not adopt an ordinance, as required
by law, to collect the monthly surcharge.
Meyer said Thursday that shifting
the fWlds to the 911 account would
make fmances "a little tight" concerning the county's general fund,
but be felt the county "could make it"
until property tax revenues are collected.
"We are not going to have to borrow money at this point," Meyer said.
"The classification of (fringe benefit) expenses frees up the general
fund cash balance so the money can
be transferred to the 911 account"
Also at today's meeting, Meyer

Managing Editor
The bidding process for phase I
renovations to the Samuel May House

$100,000 over cost estimates.
Bids were opened last week and
the lowest bid was around $129,000,
BobPerry,presidentoftheFriendsof

An architect with Argabritc Associates, hired by the Friends of May

County Jail on a car theft charge and
who were questioned in the Monday
night robbery of the BP station at
Stanville could be facing charges in
Powell CoWlty after.allegedly slriking a deputy sheriff there with a vehicle.
Powell County Sheriff Darrin
Farmer said Thursday that Jack D.
Cooler, 22, and Mark Mills, 23, both
ofJeffersonville, Indiana, are believed
to have been involved in a pursuit
with a Powell County deputy sheriff
early Sunday morning.

Sheriff Farmer said that a complaint was received from Clark
County at 3:39a.m. Sunday that subjects in a red 1988 lroc Z-28 Camero
drove off from a Speedway convenience mart without paying for gas.
Powell deputy Mark Hunter spotted
the vehicle in Powell County and
initiated a traffic stop.
"WbendeputyHWlterapproacbed
the car, be noticed the steering column was busted loose," Sheriff
Farmer said. "He ordered the driver,
who we think is Mills, outofthecar.
The driver then sped away and the car
hit my deputy on the leg."
Hunter pursued the vehicle for
approximately 11 miles into Wolfe
County before he lost sight of the car,
Farmer said.
Wolfe County officers had set up
a roadblock, but the vehicle avoided
it. Farmer said.
Powell County officials plan to
attempt to make a positive identification of the two men at the Aoyd
County Jail. Farmer said if they are
the two men his deputy observed
Sunday, charges of first degree wanton endangerment, reckless driving
and attempt to elude charges will be
brought against them.
"At this point, we plan to band
deliver the warrants and make a positive identification on Mills, Farmer
said.
Mills and Cooler were arrested
Tuesday by Prestonsburg police and
charged with theft by Wllawful taking. The two were arrested at a residence at Dwale after Prestonsburg
officers Mack Stewart and Sue
Blackburn received a complaint about
an auto accident near Job Corps involving a red 1988 Camero. The auto
turned out to have been stolen from
Jefferson CoWlty near the Indiana
border, Stewart said.
A background check on Mills and
Cooler revealed that Mills is wanted
in Jefferson County on an armed robbery charge. Cooler is wanted in Indiana on a battering charge and failure to appear in court.
Poli~e said Tuesday U1at Mills and
Cooler were bein.&_questioned in connection with th~ station robbery
Monday evening.
Two subjects went into the BP
station and demanded money from
the clerk while making gestures Umt
they had a weapon. The clerk was
locked in a back room and the two
fled the scene with an undetermined
amount of money. The clerk was not
injured.
Kentucky State Police detective
Lee Weddington is investigating the
robbery and could not be reached
Thursday to conunent on the case.
On Wednesday in Floyd District
Court, Mills and Cooler pleaded not
guilty to an amended charge ofknowingly receiving stolen property. District Judge James Allen set bond at
$12,000 or 10 percent cash for cafh
defendant and informed the two 'Wrat

charges.

Passion (Palm) Sunday
AprU9, 1995
Withoutquestion, the holiest time
of the entire year is that period we
term Holy Week, and Holy Week
begins with Passion Sunday, also
known as Palm S1Dlday. Previously,
the last two weeksofLentweresometimes designated "Passiontide", and
the second Sunday before Easter was
called Passion Sunday, but the name
was misleading as the Passion was
not usually read on that Sunday but
on the following SWlday. So, two
days were combined into one so Lent
could be restored to its pristine prominence. The theme of Holy WeekJesus' suffering and death, begins
with the reading of the passion, and
the Palm Sunday liturgy begins with
the blessing of palms in imitation of
the triumphant "parade" ofJesus from
"Bethany" to "Jerusalem." The gospel of Jesus' triumphant entry into
Jerusalem is a central part of liturgy.
However, immediately afterwards,
the theme of triumph changes radically with the reading of the passion
narrative. Palm Sunday liturgy becomes devoted, thereafter, more to
the suffering of Jesus than to his
triumphant reception by the people.
Thus, on Palm Sunday we celebrate
the beginning of Jesus' passage from
life to death to new life, which is
called the Paschal Mystery.
The story and most, if not all, of
the details of our divine Lord's sufferings at the hands of his fellowJews, his Father's Chosen People, is
well known to any Christian worthy
of the name. But theoretical knowledge is not what makes a Christian or
a follower of Christ Down through
the ages great men have lived and
died and their lives and deeds have
benefited others in many ways, for
greater or lesser periods. But the life
and death of Christ has not only benefited man's life on earth, it has
changed the very purpose of man's
existence, for it bas changed his relationship with God and his eternal
destiny.
Palm Sunday combines two great
traditions and themes: the Jerusalem
custom of the blessing and procession with palms, celebrating Christ's
triumphant entry into Jerusalem; and
the equally venerable Roman custom
of the solemn proclamation of the
Passion. Originally, people paraded
or processed in the footsteps of Jesus
from the little village of Bethany into
the city of Jerusalem. As part of the
festivities they carried real palm
fronds or olive branches, the two
most common trees in Palestine.
These were replaced with local versions of"palms" a~ the celebration of
Pabn Sunday spread throughout Europe and then the entire world. In
some countries it is not uncommon to
see people processing with willow
branches, cedar branches, pussy willows, or even flowers. The "palm
branches" most conunonly used in
the United Statesareactually "ground
palms" grown in Texas.
Ponce de Leon, the Spanish explorer, arrived at what is now known
as the state of Aorida on Palm Sonday in 1513. He named the territory
Aorida because of the abundance of
flowers evident, and because the flowers were substitutes for palms in his
native Spain. The prayer of blessing
over the palms reminds us that we are
to welcome Christ into our Owtlli ves
and bear witness to his Lordship over
us.
Blessed palms have always been
respected as holy objects or sacraments. Some families place one or
more on the wall behind a crucifix or
holy picture until the next Palm Sunday, or they might braid them into
crosses for wall decorations. Others
save them and burn a little when
some crisis, such as a storm, threatens. This custom originated in the
Slavic countries where it was common to scatter bits of blessed palms
around on the farm to protect fields
and animals against bad weather and
disease. Before the beginning of Lent
the following year, blessed palms are
burned at the local church and become the ashes used at Ash Wednesday.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of Holy Week are preparation
days, both spiritually and physically,
for the Holy Triduurn and Easter. Itis
traditional to receive the sacrament
of reconciliation during those days.
During early centuries repentant sinners were absolved from their sins on
Holy Thursday after six or more
weeksofpublicpenance. Otherpreparation activities associated with the
first three days of Holy Week include
the custom of spring cleaning.

ALLAN S. PERRY 111-Publisher·Editor
Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
An open
invitation
by Scott Perry
Let us be the first to say we
don't believe our county courthouse is infested with criminals.
Not the sort you would imagine, anyway.
If our elected officials are
guilty of anything, it's indifference.
They've lost touch with the
people they're elected to represent.
The more criticism they get,
the more withdrawn they become and the more distant they
are from the public.
With that in mind, we'd like to
offer them an opportunity toreturn to the fold, to make contact
with the voters and to communicate with the people.
Those people are growing
weary of business-as-usual.
They want a voice in government and they want a government that will listen.
Ten Years Ago
They want public officials to
quit acting like they own the
offices they occupy and realize
that they are there to serve the
best interests of the public, not
just the interests of their friends
and families.
They'll make a lot more
frien~s, we suspect, with straight
talk and open dealings than they
will by ignoring their critics.
So, we're inviting Floyd
County officials to participate
in some face-to-face interviews
with this newspaper.
And, we're not looking for
public relations work.
We'll ask some tough questions and expect some straight
answers.
We don't promise that the interviews will be pleasant, but
we do guarantee that they will
address the issues objectively
and fairly.
Now, who'd like to visit with
us first?
Our operators are standing by.
Editor:
The organizers of the upcoming
"Caravan Against Floyd County Corruption" which is planned for Saturday, April8-rainorshine,isagroup
of concerned citizens who are sick
and tired of the hand, we here in
Floyd County have been dealt for the
past years from the people we hired
to work for us in our government. We
are their employers. You know if we
employed a person in a private business and they did not do the job
efficiently we would fire them. It
should be the same for our government.
The reason we are having the caravan on Saturday, even though we
know no one is working at the courtbouse is that we want to "make a
statement." We don't necessarily
want the attention of those people in
the courthouse; we want the attention
of people higher up. Then maybe
they will take a closer look at the
situation here in Floyd County and
begin a full scale investigation on the
state level or maybe on the federal
level.
We expect representatives from
many areas to cover this event such
as T.V., newspapers and radio.
We're asking all whowanttojoin
in this caravan to tie a w ite ri9b.o,n or
cloth tsignifying help, on th i.r antenna and join in.

P'burg deserves
better facilities
Others have an interest because
their elementary and middle school
age children will be there in a very
short while.
The only renovation effort made
since 1954 was the asbestos removal
of the 1970s. Today the cafeteria is
inadequate, the library, home economics, science lab, and music rooms
are terribly outdated. Some teachers
don't have a classroom because there
aren't enough rooms.
All the years I have lived and
worked in Floyd County, I have become aware that there has been a
feeling in other communities that
Prestonsburg always gets the best in
facilities and services. If that were
ever true, it is not now. Every high
school in Floyd County has been replaced except Prestonsburg.
The home economics deparnnent
at the new South Floyd High School
has state of the art equipment enabling the students to provide catering.' The library at the new Betsy
Layne High School is roomy and
well-stocked with recent books.

I have always believed that a competitive two-party system will bring
good government to Floyd County. I
believe we have an opportunity to
prove it.
I am no longer a member of the
Republican Executive Committee,
therefore, I cannot vote for or against
anyone. But, I humbly ask that each
voting member consider the follow111
ing: It is very possible that we will
elect a Republican governor along
with a very capable attorney general
from Pike County. Each of you have
an opportunity to change the image
of Floyd County, as well as theRepublican Party according to the
"mood" of the people at this time. It
is not only possible, but probable that
we can win one or possibly both of
• these offices. But we need to look
beyond the November election before we decide who the candidates
will be. We must make sure our candidates are sincere, honest and capable and willing to go beyond the
call of duty,
To make positive changes for ~
Floyd County or our party (and
county) we'll be better served if we
do not offer a candidate. Because if
we elect a Republican and be or she
fails, then there will be no room for
human error.
We will only be judged as a Republican, and our party aq(J county
will suffer another 100 years, with
power brokers, and corruption that a

I ask that my name be eliminated
from the list of nominees. It is not my
desire to be a candidate at this time. •

�Combs belts 3-run homer as Allen Central rolls
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
A fish tale of
sorts, but true!
This is the gospel according to
State Representative Greg Stumbo!
Stumbo and son Brooks spend
every season on a fishing trip somewhere. This is a ritual that father and
son have followed since Brooks was
in the ftrst grade. Brooks just turned
15 on March 31.
"This is something we have done
every year," said Representative
Stumbo. "Just a father/son get together to spend some time together."
When Brooks celebrated his 13th
birthday, he and dad headed to South
Carolina where he hooked a fiveand-quarter pound bass.
At the age of 14, Brooks had no
trip because there was no spring break.
This past spring break, the Stumbo
boys headed out to Lake Sinclair in
Georgia and, in celebrating his 15th
birthday, Brooks booked a six-andhalf-pound bass to the amazement of
his dad.
"I told him that by the time he is
21, he will have caught one whopper
of a fish," said Greg. "It's our spring
ritual. We enjoy going and fishing
together."
Accompanying the Stumbo's this
year were Mickey McGuire and son
Adam, along with John Hurter and
his son.
"We're talking about where we
will go next year," said Stumbo.
"Brooks likes Georgia It is a neat
area We caught a lot of fish and the
kids seem to enjoy it."
According to the fasbing dad, 60
plus fash were caught with some nice
sizes in the mess.
SAME OLD STORY.••
It's the same old story each base-·
ball season in Floyd County.
There are not enough ball parks to
go around and the ones we do have
are in horrible playing condition.
The one at Allen Park is rocky and
really dangerous to play on. The field
needs to be raked. drug and then
rolled to make a smoother playing
surface.
At the Allen Park when Betsy
Layne and Prestonsburg were playing, several were complaining over
the playing surface.
The Harold-Allen-Prater Little
Leaguers are hollering because they
bad to give up their park to Allen
Central and Betsy Layne softball.
Over half the lights on the Little
League field do not work. The Betsy
Layne/Allen Central game Monday
night had to be called.
At Archer Park it is a different
story. The diamond is in excellent
sbape and new dugouts (which were
much needed) are being built with
other improvements in mind.
The park officials have done a
great job seeing all the diamonds
(Little League, T-ball, Minor League,
softball) are kept up. It looks real
nice.
We have full-size baseball fields
at Allen and Archer Park and one
located at Drift. That's it. We have
four high schools that have to
scramble to find a place to play home
games.
Allen Central has had to scheduled most of their games on the road
because of no field. Betsy Layne bas
to ttavel all the way to Allen to play
their home games.
Every high school should have
their own baseball diamond. Seems
like we go through this every season.
What we really need is "replacement fields."
WORTHY OF MENTION•.•
At the boys' and girls' state tournaments, two Floyd County athletes
received a coveted award.
Allen Central's Jeremy Hall was
chosen Player of theY ear in the 15th
Region and he received a nice plaque
to go with the honor. And still, he will
have a chance to tryout for the Kentucky All-Star team which will play
Indiana this summer.
According to Hall, he is working
out in the evenings to stay in shape.
He also was chosen to play in the
Kentucky/Ohio All-Star series later
this month in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Also, Betsy Layne's Misty Clark

Akers hits grand
slam in 10-9 win
over Prestonsburg
Jones walks with bases loaded
to force in winning Bobcat run
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
It's early in the season yeti
That is evident as both Prestonsburg and Betsy Layne are looking for
some arms that can get the ball over
the plate with some consistency in
the early going.
Designated bitter Lance Jones
worked Prestonsburg hurler Jason
Burke for a bases loaded walk in the
bottom of the seventh inning to force
in the winning run to give the Bobcats a 10-9 victory.
Sophomore Brandon Castle
picked up the win in relief of senior
starter Derrick Newsome.
Castle worked the fmal four innings for the win. He allowed four
runs on four hits. He walked only one
batter while striking out four.
Newsome went the ftrSt three innings and was tagged hard by the
Blackcats as they reached the
righthander for five runs on seven
hits. He fanned three and did not
issue a walk.
Burke was the losing pitcher for
the Blackcats, working the fmal three
and two-thirds innings. He allowed
two runs on two hits. He walked five,
two intentionally, and fanned two.
He also bit one batter.
Sophomore righthander Kevin
Robinson, who started for
Prestonsburg, was very impressive

Robinson moved to third on a

Jarrell's long sacrifice fly to left field.
The bottom of the seventh appeared to be a "cake walk" for Burke
as he got Brad K.idd to ground to
second. He walked pinch hitter Doug
Keathley with Shannon Potter the
designated runner.
But Potter was forced at second
when Akers grounded to second
baseman Robbie Risner. Risner
flipped to Kevin Robinson at second,
but the relay to first was late to double
up Akers.
Robinson appeared to have trouble
getting the ball out of his glove on the
relay.
Akers went on the ftrst pitch and
stole second. Derrick Newsome then
roped a solid bit to center, scoring
Akers with the tying run. Newsome
moved to second on the throw to the
plate.
Prestonsburg coach Russell Shepherd instructed Burke to intentionally pass Castle and Toby Newsome
to load the bases and bring Jones to
the plate.

Combs held the highly regarded
Eagles to just three hits while striking
out 11 batters. He did walk six in the

Handsford, who has come out
swinging a hot bat early, collected
three hits and drove in two runs as he
continues to make good contact.
Handsford had three hits in the
Rebels' frrst game against Sheldon
Clark.
Mike Baldrige collected two bits
for Allen Central, including a double
in the sixth inning and an RBI single

Among the locations being considered are the former Lowe's building on old route 460 and a 10-acre
tract behind the new Kmartowned by
Homer and Mary Short.
'"The problem seems to be that it
would cost approximately $3 million
to build the required building on the
Shortproperty, and the fonnerLowe' s
property, together with the remodeling of the building, would cost approximately $1 million," Perry said.
"And the school bas only been able to
raise through contributions from
Paintsville citizens the sum of $500
towards the building."
Fortunately, that is not the only
money the board has raised for the
project. Two Pikeville physicians

for $10,000 and the other for $5,000.
But Perry said financial support
from Paintsville andJobnson ColDlty
residents is a must if the school is to
be located in Paintsville.
"In the event the effort to keep the
school in Paintsville fails because of
the lack of fmancial support," Perry
said, "local businesses and citizens
of Pikeville have indicated an interest in taking over the school."

Economic impact
The impact the proposed medical
school would have on Paintsville's
economy would be tremendous, Perry
said.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime
chance to see Paintsville economically progress and offer good jobs
and other benefits to the local community,".Perry said.
The Paintsville school is modeled
after the West Virginia School of

Lewisburg, West Virginia, which has
a population ofabout3 ,500, the school

Poll workers in Magoffin cleared
Eight poll workers in Magoffin
County were cleared of vote fraud
charges stemming from the November 1993 election recently.
Special District Judge James
Woods in Knott County dismissed
the charges.
The eight worked as precinct clerks
in the election when environmental
activist Dr. Charles Hardin was
elected judge-executive in Magoffin
County.
All eight were Hardin supporters
and were indicted in March 1994 on
charges of improperly filling out voter
assistance fonns.
Attorneys on both sides said the
charges should never have been filed.
Defense attorney Ntd. Pillersdorf
said his clients' names were never
even mentioned in the grand jury
transcripts. And be later learned that
the grand jury lacked the legal minimum of nine votes required to indict.
"My take on how it happened was
(that) my clients were a direct threat
to the political machine in Magoffin
County, and they could not be tolerated," he said. "They committed the
crime of being honest election workers."

ecute the cases.
''What I'm saying is it's a totally
selective prosecution," he said. "I
cannot believe it's gone this far.... It
astounds me."
The workers indicted were Sue
Mortimer, Linda Bussey, Delores
Owens, Jimmy Howard, Ella Mae
Stephens, Denise Gamble, JoAnn
Arnett and David Allen.
The attorney general's office focused strongly on Magoffm ColDlty
during that election because of the
944 absentee ballots cast- about 10
percent of registered voters.
County Clerk H.B. Arnett was
charged with failing to compare signatures on absentee ballots and voter
registration cards. He was acquitted
earlier this year.
Amett'sson-in-law,RandyWard,
was the foreman of the grand jury
that indicted Mortimer and the others.
Paul Bailey, another indicted election worker who still has a case pending against him, said in a sworn affidavit that a grand jury member said
Ward used threats to get his way.
Ward refused to comment on that
allegation.
Bob Jones, an investigator for the
attorney general's office, was the only
witness listed as testifying before the
grand jury.
Bailey and others say Jones bas
told them be didn't cause them to be
indicted.
EdLynch, a spokesman for Attorney General Chris Gorman, did not
return telephone calls.
Pillersdorf said he would like to
sue for wrongful prosecution.
"I told them if we could figure out
who to sue, I'd be happy to do it," be
said.
Mortimer said she and the others
are discussing legal action, if for no
otherreason than to encourage people
not to give up on the system.

Coal industry jobs hanging
in balance in Martin County
The arbitration process between
Wolf Creek Collieries and Carolina
Power and Light began in Atlanta,
Georgia, Monday.
Hanging in the balance are 428
coal industry jobs, which is the number of employees currently working
at Wolf Creek Collieries in Martin
County. But many others depend on
Wolf Creek for a living.
The company produced better than
two million tons of coal last year and
purchases supplies and equipment
from various sources.
"Anytime something this drastic
could happen (losing the coal contract), the effects could be far reaching," Wolf Creek Vice President
Larry Jones said.
Employees of WolfCreek and the
local businesses who depend on them
to shop at their stores will have to
wait a month for a decision on the

Jones said WolfCreek will present
its case to the Arbitration Panel f'rrst
"Our case will probably take all this
week," be said, "I assume theirs will
last an equal amount of time."
CP&Lis seeking concessions from
Wolf Creek on coal prices.
Problems arose when the local
coal company supplied CP&L with
coal containing a lower sulfer content than specified in the current contract. Those shipments were made
late last year.
Jones said the problem no longer
exists. "We are meeting contract
specifications at the present time," be
pointed out.
Wolf Creek Collieries is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Zeigler Coal,
Inc.

The city ofLouisabas found themselves in a Catch-22 of sorts.
By not having a board of ethics,
the city is in violation of their ethics
code passed in December. However,
since there is no board of ethics, there
is no one to point out the violation
and there are no penalties listed.
Louisa's code of ethics calls for a
five-member board of ethics to be
created to see that the code is followed. According to the code passed,
this group shall be appointed by the
mayor within 60 days of the code's
effective date and must be approved
by the city council.
The code took effect on January 1
this year, but no board has been appointed so far. Mayor James L.
VanHoose said be bas bad trouble
finidng people willing lO serve on the
board, partially because it is a nonpaying position.
Dan Tuttle, a spokesperson for the
Department of Local Government,
said he doesn't know if other areas
were also having this problem .
"As far as the state is concerned,
once they adopt a code we have little
to do with it," Tuttle said. "After that
it's a local issue. We have no enforcement role."
In other words, once a code meets
state approval, it is left up to the local
communities to decide if there is a
violation and if there should be punishment
"I really don't know what happens in a situation like that," Tuttle
said. '"They are obviously in violation of their own code."
Tuttle said this was a problem the
legislature may not have foreseen
when they adopted the ethics law .
Also, he said it is probably a problem
in other areas besides Louisa.
"I would think that if it got to be a
real big problem, it would be up to the
legislature to change the law," Tuttle
said. "Until the legislature does something else, there is nothing the state
can do."
VanHoose said anyone interested
in serving on a board of ethics for
Louisa should contact City Hall.
Louisa's ethics code calls for five
members that do not hold any elected
or appointed office. No more than
three of the members may be of the
same political party.
To serve on the board, the code
says a person must be a resident of
Louisa and must have lived in Louisa
for at least one year.

County
Company sues retirees
over work stoppage
Billy Ray Taylor, the father of 14-year-old Josie, a
freshmen at Johnson Central High School who was
suspended from school for 10 days after she and another
student were involed in a fight March 17, has filed suit
against Superintendent Orville Hamilton and the school
board, claiming his daughter was denied due process of
the law.
Taylor claims his daughter did not instigate the altercation but retaliated in self-defense after being harassed
and called names, and after being struck by the other
student.
Hamilton and the board have asked that the lawsuit be
dismissed because they were not responsible for the girl's
suspension; the JCHS Site-based council governs the
activities of the school.
The student was suspended in accordance with the
JCHS student code of conduct adopted by the council.
Taylor is asking that the suspension be lifted until he
and his daughter are given a hearing by the county school
board.
School board conducts a hearing only if a school
administrator recommends that a student be expelled.

Woman arrested for spitting on
customers, throwing food in store
Marjoy Mann, 40, of Salyersville, was charged with
disorderly conduct last week after she allegedly spat on
customers and threw food inside the Paintsville WalMart.
She was also arrested for resisting arrest following the
inetdent, said Paintsville Officer John Doug Miller.
In his report, Miller said he received a complaint from
Wal-Mart around 1 p.m. that Mann was spitting on
customers, then went into the restaurant area and started
throwing food. She started yelling and resisting when she
was being arrested, Miller said.

The retirees have set up pickets at Wolf Creek operations on at least two occasions, one being from Monday
to Wednesday of last week which prompted the lawsuit
by the company.
A person close to the hierachy ofUMWA Local7093,
which represents the workers at Wolf Creek Collieries,
said Tuesday that the union members did not cross the
picket lines of the retirees until they were given evidence
that an injunction had been ftled to restrain the pickets.
The retirees have been meeting on a regular basis since
mid- winter to try to correct what they believe to be a
slight by the company.
The State of Kentucky has already furnished the local
share of the project, amounting to $1.256 million.
Rogers outlined the projects while testifying with the
Kentucky delegation before the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development As ViceChairman of the subcommittee, Rogers will help write
the ftnal version of the funding bill that will be adopted by
Congress later this year.
U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers announced recently
that he will be seeking Federal funds for flood control
work in Magoffin County.
• Rogers said he will seek to provide funding for the
Army Corps of Engineers in the 1996 Energy and Water
Appropriations bill to begin construction on the cutthrough project which will redirect the Licking River
from downtown Salyersville. Plans include channel widening and construction of a small barrier dam.
Tentative plans call for the initial pbaseofthe $10,000
million cut-through project to begin in the spring of 1996.

Addington lawsuit settled
Addington Resources Inc. entered into a settlement
agreement with Combs Brothers Investments and the
N.D. Howard Residuary Trust.
The lawsuit ftled in October in Boyd Circuit Court
claimed the Pike County law partnership caused a $30
million deal to sour by refusing to agree to a transfer of a
lease on property they own in Floyd and Pike counties.
That refusal, Addington alleged, ruined the company's
plans to sell its mining subsidiary to Peabody Holding
~o. and Bluegrass Coal Co. last April.
Two of Addington's subsidiaries, Addington Mining
Inc. and Addington Holding Co. Inc., were plaintiffs in
County asked to do soil testing
near site of fuel storage tanks
Following a site inspection at Pike county's maintenance garage at Phelps last week, the Division of Waste
Management has asked the county to do soil testing in an
area where fuel storage tanks are located.
The soil test will determine if releases from the fuel
tanks have occWTed. The tanks are said to store gasoline
and diesel fuel.
The county was issued a notice of violation from the
Deparunent of Environmental Protection in 1992, after
contaminated soil was found at the Phelps site.
Residents living nearby complained that oil leaked
from a storage building on the lot, and that fuel fumes
were thick at times.
EPA inspectors said then that the underground storage
tanks might have needed to be updated or replaced by the
end of the year to comply with federal regulations.
The county was ordered to clean up any contaminated
soil from the site and conduct follow-up testing. (Infor-

envisions a project that would include, for example, an art studio,
craft workshop, woodworking
shop and frame shop, all under

The facility would be open to
the public who could observe
crafters at work."It would give
artists and craftspeople the chance
to do their thing and attract tourists," she said.
Crouch was manager of Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts on
Court Street in Prestonsburg until
the business closed over a year
ago because of damage sustained
from a fire. The loss has left area
crafters and artists with one less
retail outlet where their work can
be sold. "There is no Oocal) facility where artists' workcanbesold

"Crafters and artists who are
interested in getting together and
renting one facility could share
expenses and also keep expenses
down," Crouch said. "Each person would have their own room or

crafter would be responsible for
themselves and would set their
own hours."

An osteopathic medical school in
Kansas City hasreceivedabout4,000
applications for the 150 slots available, Perry said.
The Southern College of Osteopathic Medicine could have a similar
impact on Paintsville's economy,
Perry said. The school has already
received applications from numerous students, and well-qualified
PhD.' s are available to teach the first
two-year courses, he said.
"This project is assured of success
if we can get past the problem of
trying to raise money for the building
and shortfall," Perry said.
Pikeville showing interest
A prominent Pikeville banker,
whom Perry declined to identify, was
in Paintsville last Thursday to discuss the medical school with Perry.
"He was interested in seeing if the
citizens of Paintwille are interested
in financially supporting the school,"
(Continued from page one)
Perry said. "If they are not, he wants
Pikeville to have a chance with the
school."
Pikeville Methodist Hospital officials have indicated their "complete
cooperation," including an interest in
the hospital being the teaching facility for the medical school, Perry said.
But Paintsville would be the "ideal
location" for the school, Perry said,
because it is midway between
Pikeville and Ashland.
"Without participation from
Paintsville businesses and citizens to
build the building and help with the
start-up cost," Perry said, "it's going
to be difficult to keep the school
located locally."
Paintsville Mayor Robin Cooper
said he fully supports efforts to locate
the school in Paintsville.
"We will do whatever is reasonably possible to help secure the medical school here," Cooper said.
Persons interested in contributing
to the building fund can send their
tax -deductible donations to the Southern College of Osteopathic Medicine, Inc., P.O. Box C, Paintsville,
Kentucky 41240.
Non-profit organizations have
donated pins, cups, notebooks and
other small items that will be given
in appreciation to participants. In
case ofrain, the walk-a-thon will
be held the next day.

face, bit the husband and killed him. Hand survived. In
January, police said they were satisfied Hand had not
intended to harm the husband and thus flled only
gun-use charges against him.

--In November. firefighters near Portland, Ore.,
were called to rescue a woman and her two kids who
were trapped upside down in an Alfa Romeo as a result
of a one-car crash. The woman interrupted the extrication -- by the "jaws of life" tool -- in order to take a
call on her car phone. Said a rescuer, "It was unbelievable. She's hanging partially out of her vehicle, and
she proceeds to have an argument with her husband
about where she is."
--Kay Mounsey, widow of one of the "friendly
fire" servicemen killed in the F-15/Black Hawk
helicopter incident in northern Iraq in April, complained to reporters in September that the federal

EH-UUUH, GROSS!
Pikeville church will deliver message of
Christ on-stage at Jenny Wiley Theatre
The Music and Drama Ministry of the First Baptist
Church in Pikeville will present eight perfonnances of
'The Deliverer," a life of Christ pageant, on three
successive weekends in April.
Performances are scheduled for April 14, 15, and
16; April22 and 23; and April27, 28, and 29. The
pageant will be presented in the Jenny Wiley State
Park Amphitheatre at Prestonsburg. All performances
begin at 7:30p.m.
More than one hundred people are involved in the
pageant preparation - sewing costumes, learning
lines, building sets, and practicing music. All those
efforts will culminate in an unforgettable experience
for those who attend.
Colorful costumes, beautiful music, and powerful
outdoor drama will present the "greatest story ever
told" in an exciting, vibrant way, according to Rick
Shannon, pastor of the First Baptist Church in
Pikeville.
Under the direction of the First Baptist staff
members Yvonne Clark and Rebecca Martin, "The
Deliverer" was first presented last spring. More than
4,000 people saw the pageant in the 1994 debut and
even more are expected this year.
There have been some changes in music and script,
but the focus of the production remains the same- to
present the life of Jesus Christ so that all may hear.
For additional information and to order tickets, call
(606) 432-4603. A nominal $1 donation is requested
for each ticket.
Things and Stuff
The Prez has reassured all those countries which don't have the bomb that they
needn't worry about being nuked by the
U.S.A., and that ought to scare them all to
death.
With Mr. Clinton's history of reneging,
shouldn't be too long before he pushes the
button on somebody.
Meanwhile, the O.J. trial lost another
juror, opening the way to speculation that
the defense is trying to extend the trial
long enough to allow everyone associated
with it to die of old age.
That does not include the people who
died already from boredom after listening
todefenseDNAexpertBarryScheckdrone
on and on about a blanket that police used
to cover the bodies of the murder victims.
Scheck has yet to mention anything about
DNA, but we're almost certain that he
intends to prove that either Elvis or Jimmy
Hoffa was really under the blanket the
cops carted off to the morgue.
The OJ. defense team's effort to discredit the L.A. police is starting to have a
ripple effect around the country, too, and
police officers are catching all sorts of
heck.
In Lebanon, New Hampshire, on
Wednesday, a cook at a Denny's restaurant was charged with assaulting two officers and the suspect faces two years in
jail and a $4,000 fine.
The case is a little bit unusual, since the
weapon used was a bottle of Tasbasco
sauce, which the cook used to spike the
officers' eggs.
Don't cackle, it's true.
Now there's a trial we'd really like to see
on television.
On another front, Congressional Democrats are criticizing a $500-per-kid tax
credit as a break for the rich, and they may
have enough support in the Senate to block
the proposal.
Guess they figure if people who make
up to $200,000 a year can reduce their
taxable incomes by $500 per child, it'll
touch off another baby boom and
overpopulate the country with little
yuppies.
Ugh.
Maybe we can get the Prez to nuke 'em.

'That's not an asset, Sara. That's a personality

After careful deliberation, I think our best asset is
that Eastern Kentucky is located far enough away
from the rest of the world that we don't have to be
subjected to the intolerance of outsiders except
through movies and books.
Outbreak
Fans of government conspiracy stories will love
this movie. It goes beyond secret human radiation
experiments and hiding alien bodies from a UFO crash
in the desert. This one, although thankfully fictional, is
chilling and borriflc at the same time.
The year is 1967; the place is Zaire. Army doctors
in protective gear are studying a group of mercenaries
dying from a particularly voracious virus. Since they
can't seem to come up with any medical answers, they
reach a chilling fmal solution: Blow up the entire area,
annihilating everyone and everything in it, thereby
successfully checking the spread of the virus. The
deed is done and everyone involved considers that
that's the end of it.
Lo and behold, 30 years later, Dr. Sam Daniels
(Dustin Hoffman), a military infectious disease doctor,
flnds himself in Zaire studying a rapid-spreading virus
which kills its victims in little more than 24 hours. He
goes back to the States to warn his superiors that this
virus could spread easily throughout the world.
His superiors, Gen. Billy Ford (Morgan Freeman)
and Gen. McClintock (Donald Sutherland), were in on
the original coverup and they're not about to let the cat
out of the bag. They order Dr. Daniels off the case.
Daniels isn't one to take no for an answer. He
warns his ex-wife, Robby (Rene Russo), who is also a
doctor, to let medical personnel around the country
know about this. When the virus predictably shows up
in California, Daniels commandeers a plane (against
orders) to go there in order to flght the virus.
McClintock and Ford once again propose to blow
up the entire town and Daniels, along with his protege,
played by Cuba Gooding, Jr., flnd themselves fighting
the Army and the disease.
Everything in this movie is stunning, from the
special effects to the script to the directing to the
acting. However, it's not for the squeamish. Some of
the scenes involving people dying from the virus are
quite graphic and gory. If you can get past that, you
shouldn't miss this flick.

It's both: There are stringent rules

a TV studio is a public place). But
even before these statutes were

NATASHA'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A
genuine business opportunity arises,
but you could be dealing with a person who's touchy and overly sensitive. This puts you off for the time
being. However, by week's end, the
situation is resolved to your satisfaction.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Confusion surrounding a business
matter could end up irritating you.
Don't let this stand in your way. Get
to the bottom of what's going on.
Recreational interests, travel and romance are highlighted this weekend.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Some could receive a job offer that
can be done from the home. This is
the wave of the future and it should be
considered quite seriously. The
middle ofthe week brings unexpected
visitors who drop in quite inconveniently.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Activities with children are a delight
now. Partners seem to communicate
by ESP since they're so in tune with
each other at this time. Something
you say later in the week could be
taken the wrong way by someone
who's overly sensitive.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Intuition puts you on the right track regarding a career concern. You could
be considering making a major purchase for the home or family now.
However, make sure you do some
homework on this score. Guard
against extravagance.
VIRGO (August23 to September

However, a child will feel hurt if you

EXPLANATION
Warwick, N.Y., judge Daniel
Coleman imposed alight sentence on
a man in December for a speeding
ticket because the man had brought
his soiled underpants to court to lend
credence to his claim that he had
needed to rush home in order to deal
with his diarrhea. However, Coleman
said he feared there was a danger if
people learned about the successful
defense: "[E]verybody," said the
judge, "will start walking into court
with [soiled] drawers."

FOCUS-NANCY
McKEON: On April 16, Nancy
McKeon will &tar in "A Lantern in
Her Hand" (the title may be changed
by airtime: check your listings), a
CBS film based on the novel about a
young pioneer woman in the late
1800s by Bess Streeter Aldrich.
"It's a movie about choices,"
Nancy said. "My character gives up a
chance to marry a wealthy medical
student and live in New York where
she can study music and, instead,
marries a man she loves for himself,
although it means moving out to the
territory of Nebraska to live a much
harder life."
ForMcKeon, who starred on ''The
Facts of Life," choosing to do this
ftlm was not a problem. "I realize it's
different from anything I've done.
That was one reason I wanted to do it.
I also admired Abbie, the woman I
play. She may have made her decision based on her love for the man she
chose to marry. Butshemadeitknowing that she was exchanging a life
that offered her a chance to study her
music and live quite well for a life
that offered a lot of hardship."
DIAL TONES: On May 20, CBS
will focus its Big Eye on "Dr. Quinn:
Medicine Woman" as the two principals in the show, Dr. Mike (Jane
Seymour) and Sully (Joe Lando) finally say their I dos.
While the aforementioned event
won't happen for a few weeks, I can
warp you into a closer time-space
factor with two shows under the "Star
Trek" rubric airing on Aprill7. On
"Star Trek: Voyager," Tuvok (Tim
Russ) will turn up on "Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine's" episode,
"Through the Looking Glass." "It's
the flrst time a 'Voyager' character
crosses over to 'Deep Space Nine',"
Russ said, adding be was glad to be
the flrst one to go where no Vulcan,
or anyone else from 'Voyager,' has
gone before. Also on April 17.
"Voyager's" holographic physician,
Doctor Zimmerman (played by Robert Picardo) leaves Sick Bay for the
ftrst time to do battle with a monster
in the holodeck which has been abducting crew members. The episode,
based on the ancient Beowulf saga, is
called "Heroes and Demons."

the hollow fills.
They said they enjoyed both of the
trips very much. When I asked them
what they already know, and have
seen, if in the future they would like
to work at a mine, the majority of
them said "no." However, to our surprise, one girl replied "yes," because

Mrs. DeRossett's primary clau, Prestonsburg Elementary have been
working on a quilt during their coal study unit. Each block has been
used to show the books they have used, and the speakers who have
shared about coal with the classes. The center of the quilt Is a map of
the United States with the coal field locations highlighted. As the class
studies a book or listens to a speaker, they add It to the quilt. Mrs.
DeRossett's aide, Mary Holbrook, sewed the quilt for the class. The
quilt will be displayed In Mrs. DeRossett's classroom, along with the
friendship quilt they made at the begh1ning of the school year.
I recently interviewed Mrs. Helen
Martin's fifth grade class. They had
just taken a trip to a mine site called
Cyrus Mines and Minerals Corporation. This was an active strip mining
site.
They also took a trip to Premier
Elkhorn Coal Company where they
saw a reclamation site in progress. In
the strip mines, they watched in surpriseas the machinery operated. They
rode in the bucket of the drag line and
watched the explosive holes being
drilled and filled .

teaching would be like. She doesn't
really doubt her skills, yet sometimes
wonders if she is on the rightlevel for
them to comprehend. The best part of
student teaching under Helen Martin, a fifth grade teacher, is the experience with the children. The worst
part is the limitations of when and
what you can teach them. She brings
to school each day the excitement of
instilling in each child the desire to
learn. She is also looking forward to
teaching with Mrs. Sheilah Ratliff,
an eighth grade teacher at Duff Elementary.
Kristian Anderson is working with
Sharon Sexton, a primary teacher.
Unlike the others, she attends
Morehead State University. She says
although she loves watching the children learn, she learns as well. She is
motivated by her plans for the future
of getting a job, yet enjoys student
teaching so far.
She is majoring in elementary education and feels the basics of teaching, as with any job, are patience,
dedication, and hard work. After all
these are fulfilled, she has the satisfaction of a job well done.

Western Business Investment Helps Open Market
Economies In Eastern Europe
(NAPS}-Warsaw streets
bustle with shoppers.
Entrepreneurs open stores
in Moscow. Albania welcomes western investors.
Just five years after the
fall of the Berlin Wall, activities that once seemed
unimaginable are very real.
The riveting events of
November 1989, awed the
world and unleashed an
amazing drive toward economic democracy throughout eastern and central
Europe. The willingness of
western businesses to move
swiftly and invest is helping
to pave the way.
"Private investments,
especially in the consumer
goods industry, build the
kind of stable, market-oriented societies that eastern
European countries want,"
says E. N~vllle Isdell, president of The Coca-Cola
Company's Northeast Europe
/Middle East Group.
The Coca-Cola Company
and its bottling partners are
pwnping more than $1.5 billion into building a worldclass soft drink business in
markets opened since the
fall of the Wall. This inv0stment makes the Coca-Cola
system the single largest investor in a number of countries, including Poland,
Romama and Bulgaria.
As a result, its business
in the newly emerging
markets grew from being
virtually non-existent to
achieving leadership in soft
drink sales of more than
two to one over its closest
international competitor.
Since 1991, over 25 new
production facilities for CocaCola have opened. More than
13,000 jobs have been created
in the Coca-Cola system and
thousands more in related industries. Well over 75,000 retail businesses have grown
and developed with support
of the company's marketing
and distribution efforts.
The Coca-Cola system
buys as many goods and
services as possible at the
local level. This gives smaller businesses-from plastic crate manufacturers to
printers of marketing materials-a demanding, but
steady customer.
Opportunities are also
emerging for local partners.
For Ion Stamanichi of
Romania, the Coca-Cola investment meant realization
of a dream. In February
1990, while head of a
Romanian state-owned bottling firm, Stamanichi sent
a letter to the company's
Atlanta headquarters with
a bold proposition.
"I said in my letter, 'I'm
the best soft drinks manager in Romania and CocaCola is the best soft drinks
company in the world. Why
don't we put together our
power in Romania and
make one incredible business'?" Stamamchi recalls.
Today, he runs the largest Coca-Cola bottling operation in Romania. With
plants in Bucharest, Brasov
and a third under construction in Ploiesti, Stamanichi has indeed made
"one incredible business."

One truck driver is in satisfactory condition at a Lexington hospital
after being injured Wednesday
afternoon in a wreck on KY 80 at
Martin involving three tractor-trailers.
Steven R. Combs, 30, ofBulane,
was operating a coal truck owned
by T & R Trucking when it was hit
by a Hazard Express truck driven
by Jody McDaniel, 32, of Hazard.
Combs received medical treatment at the scene from P & B
Ambulance emergency medical
technicians and was transported to
Our Lady of the Way Hospital in
Martin. Combs was later transferred to the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
McDaniel told Kentucky State
Police trooper Larry Woods that he
was driving westbound on KY 80
when he lost control of his vehicle.
McDaniel first hit a loaded coal
truck driven by Allen Dale Jones,
40, of Bulane and then struck
Combs' loaded coal truck.
McDaniel told Woods that while
he was coming down the hill on
KY 80, his truck started spitming.
Woods asked McDaniel if it had
been raining at the time of the accident and McDaniel said yes.

Learn-at-home program to

Staff Writer
This fall, a concept called distance learning will once again help

getting a higher education.
Distance learning is a concept
that helps people get a college education at home.

The respiratory disease that
afflicts five construction workers
and one Prestonsburg city employee, has claimed another.
Prestonsburg Fire Chief Tom
Blackburn was conflfDled Wednesday as having histoplasmosis.
Also, eleven people who may
have been infected by the fungus
had blood drawn Wednesday, Floyd
County Health Department director
Carol Holbrook said.
Prestonsburg Mayor Jerry Fannin and three frrefighters are among
the eleven checked.
Histoplasmosis is endemic to
this area. Endemic means that if
you live in an area long enough,
you can contract the disease.
"Ninety percent of the people
who live in Kentucky and in the
southeastern part of the United
States will skin test positive for the
disease," Dr. Myat Razak, with the
Department of Health Services in
Frankfort, said.
The disease is not contagious,
he added. Histoplasmosis is a fungus that is contracted by contact
with the spores of dried bird or bat
droppings.
People can get histo through
contact with cfticken houses, bat
caves and large construction projects that raise clouds of dust containing the fungus.
Razak said that most people in
good health will get over histo
without needing a doctor or medication; however, in acute infections medication is needed.
The five workers, Frank Blackburn, John Goble, John Goble IT,
Mike Crase, Doug Crase, and the
two city employees, Blackburn and
Forrest Bentley, an equipment
operator for Prestonsburg Public
Works department, all have acute
cases.
"They have acute cases because
they had a high level of exposure,"
Razak said.

Staff Writer
A case against an Endicott man
charged with stealing a car and leading state police on a chase last week
was referred to a Floyd County
Grand Jury Wednesday.
Rodney Blackburn, 36, is
charged with two counts of first
degree wanton endangerment; theft
by unlawful taking; and a parole
violation after an incident that happened August 2.
Kentucky State Police trooper
Mike Thorpe testified Wednesday
that Priscilla Akers reported that
Blackburn stole her car on July 25
from her home at Endicott. Thorpe
said he had investigated thecae theft
and noticed that a car he was following at Sugar Loaf was the same
make as the one stolen and had the
same license number. The vehicle
was a 1989 Ford Escort station
wagon.
Thorpe stopped lllackbum' s vehicle at Sugar Loaf and when he
approached the car, Blackburn
drove away, Thorpe said.

Lovely, said they were beading to a
Prestonsburg grocery store.
The van was driven by Jerry
Varney, 26, of Piketon, Ohio and the
coal truck was driven by Willis Little,
24, of Topmost.
Wiblesses said the van was in the
fastlaneofU.S. 23 and then pulled in
front of the truck, that was traveling
in the slow lane, Clark said.
Little said to avoid the van, he
pulled into the turning lane, because
it was clear, Clark said. However, the
van collided with the truck. Little
said he was unable to avoid hitting
the van, Clark said.
Clark said the van traveled about
118 feet after it hit the truck and also
flipped on its side and slid into the
embankment.
All four men from the van were
transported to Highlands Region~
Medical Center. Zeek and Stacy were
treated and released.
Varney and Guest were both reportedly transported from HRMC to

concerning the budget.
Towler told Clark that be was
correct, but he reminded Clark that
that agreement had been "waived
for two bus drivers." Towler also
noted that Patton bad made the
motion to levy a spending freeze.
Honsbell recommended that the
requests be given to the district's
budget committee to detennine the
financial impact of creating those
additional positions.
Patton argued that if custodians
are needed "we need them pretty
quick" in order to take care of
school buildings.
Brackett, Patton and board
member Ray Wilcox voted to create the additional positions, with
Honsbell voting no. Clark
abstained.
Brackett said that he would discuss the additional needs at Betsy
Layne with the interim superintendent.
Also Tuesday, three directors in
the central office announced their
retirements contingent on being
granted 100-day consulting contracts.
Frankie Francis, director of stu-
dent services, Maurice Allen, director of pupil personnel, and Cosetta
Newsome, djrector of middle
school services, will retire from the
system this year if the details of a
consulting contract can be worked
out
. Board attorney Phil Damron
said that he had met with Francis
and Newsome concerning the contracts and be felt the details could
be finalized. He added that the trio
had until August 15 to withdraw
their retirement requests.
Damron explained that the contracts would have to be for 92 days
of service because the three bad
worked eight days of the new
school year. Their duties would be
virtually the same as they are
doing, Damron said, and "any other
duties designat~ by the superintendent." The rate of pay would be
$200 per day or $18,400 for 92
days of work.
Towler commented that the contracts were discussed on the
premise that those three positions
would not be ftlled this school year
and that the situation should be
reevaluated in the spring.
The board voted to approve the
contracts if the details could be
worked out and voted to abolish
those three positions.
In other business Tuesday:
• Jean Hensley addressed the
board concerning a landscaping
contract for Betsy Layne Elementary. Hensley said that she had a
contract with Jim Ousley for the
work at the site, but that the work
had been done by someone else.
Hensley explained that Ousley had
sub-contracted the work to her and
she had completed some of the
work. "I found out someone else
done the landscape work because
they had relatives at the school,"
Hensley said. "I'd like to see their
bid price and what was paid for it."
The board told Hensley to discuss
the issue with Jim Osborne, chief of
operations, and the project's construction manager, Sam Martin.
• Pete Grigsby, president of the
Floyd County Administrators Association, asked the board not to take
recommendations
from
"the
screening committee, the media or
any special interest groups" related
to the hiring of a new superintendent. Grigsby also · said that the
board should hire someone from
Floyd County.
• Floyd County Education Association president Gary Hopkins
asked the board not to limit their
search for a new superintendent to
just Floyd Countians. Hopkins also
asked Brackett not to name the
board member to serve on the committee if Brackett was interested in
the superintendents job. Brackett

''The problem with these forms
of distance learning is nobf.<Iy took
them seriously or accreditcil them,"
McAninch said.
An accreditation team accr~its
a school and then a degree from
that school will mean something,
he added.
"With beaming stuff straight out
of a classroom or on a tape, the
accreditation concern disappears,"
McAninch said. "If my class was
accredited once, then it is still
accredited even if it is on tape."
McAninch produced the tapes
of the lectures and they are offered
on Tel-Com. A student only has to
be on campus for registration and
exams.
PCC serves five counties; Pike,
Johnson, Floyd, Martin and
Magoffm. However, Tel-Com does
not serve all five counties.
For those people who are not
served by Tel-Com, McAninch bas
copies of his lectures available on
reserve at PCC's library and at his
office, which the student can check
out. He calls it the "drop in/mail
in" concept.
McAninch even has a set schedule for when students can call him
to ask questions about the lectures.
McAninch said CableVision
recently acquired equipment needed for distance learning, and he
will be approaching them about
airing the class. "My goal is to have my course
beamed to several colleges," he
said. "I'm the only full-time political science teacher in the region.
''Theoretically interactive video
is possible, I can talk and lecture
and use a split-screen TV to teach
my classes," McAninch said. "My
brother, Tom, teaches criminal justice on three different campuses,
but never leaves his classroom
because be uses interactive video."
He added that distance learning
is the move nationwide and he
wants PCC to move in that same
direction.
"In the near future a student can
get a bachelors via television,"
McAninch said. "If we don't provide it, if Kentucky doesn't provide
it, then other schools like UCLA
will soon issue bachelors nationwide via satellite.
"Kentucky's Council on Higher
Education must become aware,"
McAninch said. "Unfortunately,
decision makers in Frankfort are
not aware of which way the wind is
blowing."
"Ironically they (Frankfort)
send a videotape once a week
about state government to me to
use in my classroom," he added.
Although, American government is the only class offered
through distance learning at PCC,
McAninch already has all of his
other courses taped and ready to
start being aired as soon as funds
are available.
McAninch's class is sponsored
by Darrell Madden, CPA; Highlands Regional Medical Center;
Medisin, Inc.; and PCC's educational foundation. These sponsors
help fund the cost of airing the
class every semester.
As of right now, McAninch is
the only teacher who does distance
learning. Bill Loftus, a psychology
professor at PCC, bas taped his lectures, but has not air~ them yet.

The trooper pursu~ Blackburn
and during the chase, Blackburn
passed a vehicle and struck a van
occupied by Rose and Dusty
Stevens, Thorpe said. The Stevens
were not injured.
The chase proceed~ to Corn
Fork, where the vehicle Blackburn
was driving crashed into a large
gate, Thorpe said. Blackburn fled

Trial commissioner Jack Hyden
ruled that there was probable cause
and referred the case to a grand jury.
Also Wednesday, a case against
a McDowell man accused of marijuana trafficking and cultivation was
also referred to a grand jury.
Price Hall, 52, was charged August 1 after Floyd sheriffs deputies
and state police seized almost 200
marijuana plants near his residence.
Deputy sheriff Steve Toy testified that officers were acting on a
tip they received that Hall was growing marijuana on his property.
During a search of Hall's property and a small building near Hall's
home, officers found th~ marijuana
plants growing and equipment that
appeared to be used for an indoor
pot drying operation.
Toy said that officers found heat
lamps and some processed marijuanain the building. He added that
officers found the pot plants growing in four different plots on Hall's
property.

• The board accepted recommendations from a Drug/Alcohol
Task Force to combat drug problems in the school system. Recommendations included a public
awareness campaign; stronger prevention programs; additional funding for prevention programs; and
tougher penalties for students
caught with illegal substances at
school. The board directed the
committee to meet with school
principals to implement the recommendations and report their discussions to the board.

Auntie Carole brings Tender Lovirig Care
by Ailsa Goodwill
Staff Writer
Although the rains came Sawrday
afternoon, some area children were
given a spot of sunshine thanks to a
nonprofit, charitable organization and
the Town Branch Church.
Sawrday at 1 p.m. children of all
ages were treated to a musical story
and some free clothes.
The clothes were made and donated by the Tender Loving Care
Ministries, Inc. The group is a nonprofit, charitable organization that
provides new clothing for KentuckyAppalachian children.
Rev. Carole Johnson, founder and
director of1LC, Inc., said, the ministry loves the children and wants to
bless them.
Johnson, of Livingston, New Jersey, approached Erlene Nelson, a
member of the Town Branch Church,
to see if Nelson would be interested
in participating in 1LC's back-toschool program.
ILC, Inc. has four main programs:
Back-to-School, Thanksgiving,
Christmas and Easter. The organization also provides winter coats for
children.
Johnson said the children are given
a complete outfit: shoes, socks, pants,
shirts and accessories. The clothes
are made by volunteers and the shoes
and coats are bought wholesale.
Nelson said she and Johnson
worked together before on the winter
coat project
Nelson said. "I hope to work with her
more in the future."
Auntie Carole, as she is affectionately called by her volunteers, not
only brought clothes for the children,
she also brought entertainers.
Ron and Nevada Hoover, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are musical storytellers.
Nevada Hoover said she and her
husband quit their school teaching
positions about six years ago. They
have43 different shows using themes
from the 20's to the 60's.
"This is the first show we have
done for Auntie Carole," Nevada
Hoover said.
However, the Hoovers arenotnew
to the 1LC ministry. They have been
volunteers for the last two years;
Nevada sews and Ron crochets.
1LC was started in 1987 when
Auntie Carole became aware of the
rampant poverty that exists in the
mountainsofEastemKentucky. That
first year she made approximately 50
dresses. Auntie Carole now has over
500 volunteers throughout the United
States and Canada. Her organization
has helped more than 2,000 children
in need.

Church. She is involved with distributing food and clothing to those in
need.

have Auntie Carole come to us,"

PCC kicks off new academic
year with All-College meeting
Prestonsburg Community College
·ckedoffthe 1995-96academicyear
on Wednesday, August 9, with an
All-College Meeting, attended by all
PCC employees.
During the meeting, employees
listened to a motivational presentation by Douglas Bruce on the topic of
"Getting a Grip While Letting Go."
Bruce is Director of Support Services
for the Chandler Medical Center at
the University of Kentucky and the
public address voice of the UK Wildcats basketball and football teams.
tl Bruce gave advice on how people
can use humor to deal with change
and the tension that sometimes accompanies it, in either their personal
or professional lives. He led off his
presentation by telling his audience,
"Life is difficult, but it doesn't always have to be serious."
Bruce used personal anecdotes to
illustrate the importance of attitude
in determining personal and professional contentment. He said most
people have an easier time describing
the things that make them miserable
than the things they enjoy.
"Change is good, change is inevitable, change is painful, but misery is
M!Ptional," he said. "We can'tcbange
other people or other things. We can
change ourselves." Later, he added,

Liberty of thought is the life of the soul-Voltaire
Looks like a job
for... Mr. Clean?
by Scott Perry
We're having a hard time deciding which ,is more unsettling- a decision by the Floyd County
Board of Education to put the
employment of a janitor above
the need for educational supplies, or a suggestion from a
school administrator to ignore
public input and a screening
committee in the selection of a
new superintendent.
If that first issue has any correlation to the latter, we're in for
a fine time this year.
When a sehool board determines that looks are more critical to education than books and
science lab equipment...as the
Floyd board did Tuesday
evening... it's not hard to imagine what sort of priority they'll
put on selecting a new school
chief.
Maybe Mr. Clean will apply
for the job.
While we might agree with
board chairman Ray Brackett
on his comments that students
shouldn't have to attend a "dirty
school," we wonder what difference that makes when the
school lacks the materials it

Thanks for

Editor:
On August 26th women's equality groups across the nation will eelebrate the 75th anniversary of the
ratification of the 19th Amendment
to the U.S Constitution granting
women the right to vote after a 72-year
crusade for the ballot beginning in
1848. While this is an important historic occasion, it must be remembcred that the suffragists recognized
that winning the vote in 1920 was
only the first step to ftrst-class citizenship for women.
Editor:
On behalf of the players, coaches,
parents, sponsors, advocates and supporters of the Floyd County Youth

exposed while hauling debris to a
dumpsite and operating a backhoe
inside the building.
Three of the five construction
workers remain in the hospital, and
Bentley, who was at Paul B. Hall
Regional Medical Center last week
under a misdiagnosis, is again in
the hospital.
Dr. Ayesha Sikder, a lung specialist at the Shelby Valley Clinic,
tt said histoplasmosis is a difficult
disease to diagnose.
''We are fortunate that we don't
have to do lung biopsies on all
seven cases," Sikder said. "We can
follow each of the cases to determine diagnosis and not do unnecessary work."
Sikder said that in epidemic
cases, the patients do not have normal symptoms to histoplasmosis.
Each patient is reacting a little differently, she added. ·
Sikder is a consultant on all
seven cases.
"Only one case was confirmed
by a lung biopsy," Razak said. "All
• other cases were conflfDled
through X-rays, case histories and
symptoms that are similar to the
biopsy-confirmed case."
Razak said the city has been
very cooperative in the situation
and is doing everything that he and
other officials ask of them.
City Attorney Paul Burchett
said the city is doing whatever they
are asked to do in this situation,
including proper disposal of the
contaminated wood from the old
frre department building.
The debris was hauled to a
dumpsite next to the public works
department within city limits, he
added.
"Originally the wood was going
to be chipped and used as wood
chips throughout the city,"
Burchett said. "Since the wood is
contaminated we will meet with
members of the Division of Waste
Management to decide the best
way to dispose of the material."
Johnnie Ross, environmental
inspector for the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, said he requested a meeting
for Thursday afternoon with members of the Floyd County Health
Department, officials from the city
of Prestonsburg and other interested parties.
"We will discuss all disposal
options and the risks involved with
each option," Ross said. "We will

The recommendation from the
meeting will be faxed Friday morning to Frankfort and an approval or
denial will be made by Friday
afternoon, he added.
Ross said he has been working
on the problem since Monday and
has requested guidance from the
division of epidemiology and the
disease control center.
"We will explore every single
option," Ross said. "We are acting
quickly to remediate the problem."
In the meantime, Burchett said
the dumpsite area has been blocked
off and police check on the area
periodically to make sure no one
gets in. The wood is kept wet.
Holbrook said as long as there is
not a dust cloud, there is not a
threat. She added that the health
department bas been taking all
calls about histoplasmosis and
answering them to help forestall
unfounded rumors and panic.
Razak and Holbrook both
stressed that there is no need for a
public health hazard alert.
Attends Bookmobile
Conference
Homer Lee Hall, EmmaLou Shepherd, Buddy Lemaster and Ruth
Daniels, from the staff of the Floyd
County Public Library, Prestonsburg,
attended the 1995 Kentucky Bookmobile Conference, August 3-4, presented by the Kentucky Department
for Libraries and Archives (KDLA),
Frankfort.
KDLA is an agency of the Education, Arts, and Humanities Cabinet.
More than 100 bookmobile librarians and other interested persons from
all over the Commonwealth attended
the two-day conference, which was
held in Lexington.
The conference keynote speaker
was former bookmobile librarian
Susan Hill, nationally known for her
success in creating unique, non-traditional programs to reach all youth
through bookmobile programs.
Among the conference sessions
on automation, programming, generator and engine maintenance, readers' advisory, problem patrons and
staff communication, a high point
was an address, "Kentucky Stories,"
by well-known Courier-Journal columnist Byron Crawford.
Floyd County Tourism Commission chairman Gene Luka resigned
from the Prestonsburg Tourism Commission during a special meeting of
the commissioners Wednesday, August 9.
In announcing his resignation,
Luka told commissioners that he
thonghttourismhadcomealong way
in the two years he has served as
chairman of the commission. He also
thinks the commission is on the right
track and said he was sorry that he
couldn't stick around to see the development of a mega-festival in the
county.
During a meeting in July, the tourism commission agreed to appoint a
committee, consisting of members
from various organizations and businesses throughout the county, to study
and implement a major festival in the
area. Luka was a strong proponent of
the development of tile festival and,
during tourism meetings, often voiced
his concern during about the lack of a
major festival that could compare
with Hillbilly Days in Pikeville and
the Apple Festival in Johnson County.
Luka said he is relinquishing his
role with the commission because he
and his wife are moving to his wife's
homeland, Ireland. His resignation
will become effective August 16.
Also during the special meeting,
tourism director Fred James announced that the commission had
received $780 as its share of state
tourism funds disbursed to the Eastem Highlands-North Tourism Region.
The Eastern Highlands-North
Tourism Region organization advertises and promotes tourism in a 15county region, which includes Floyd,
Johnson and Pike counties, through
distribution of regional grants.
Through the grants, the state provides 80 percent funding and the balance of the funds must come from the
regional organizations.
Jenny Wiley Theatre received
$3,553 from the organization.
During the discussion, James also
announced that the organization had
increased its funding for the Prestonsburg Commission for 1996.
Tourism commissioners authorizedJamestoinvitetheFloydCounty
government to participate in the program by helping to providing some
of the matching funds. The Prestonsburg Tourism Commission promotes
county places and events, such as
Stumbo Park and the Squirrel Festival, in brochures it distributes along
1-64 and I-75, as well as various rest
centers in the state.
In other business at the meeting,
the commissioners:
• discussed proposed goals and
objectives for the new festival committee, which will meet September 7
at 6:30p.m.;
• had received the names of Jim
Kennedy, representing Jenny Wiley
State Park, and Orville Cooley, representing the Prestonsburg Senior
Citizens Committee, and Ann Latta,
representing the Chamber of Commerce, as potential members of the
festival committee;
• were asked to submit names of
individuals who could be interviewed
for a Mainstreet oral history project
that had been awardeda$1,000 grant
to create an archive;
• listened to a report by James
about a water quality education
project that had been awarded a grant
and was in the process of being prepared through the tourism office.
In addition to Luka and James,
members attending the meeting were
Roy Ramey, Boyd Thompson, and
Tommy Lafferty.

Brad Martin
finds racing
hard to quit
Dad's love for NASCAR
puts Hamilton on the track
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Like everything else enjoyable,
stock car racing gets into your blood
and you find it hard to do without it.
Race fans really become addicted
to racing and they will not miss a
Saturday night of racing.
There are times, though, that no
matter how much you enjoy something, aggravation sets in and you
want to quit. Throw in the towel.
~Finish the course and get out
How many times have we said:
"That's it. I quit," only to come back
with more vigor.
Brad Martin, ofLangley, has been
racing for the past 17 years and there
have been times when those thoughts
crossed his mind.
"Racing is just a habit that you get
into," said Martin. "It's hard to quit it
once you get into it.
"I've tried to quit it. I'd get aggravated, but I always seem to come
back," he said.
Unable to shake the love for the
• sport, Martin has been a consistent
competitor at Thunder Ridge this season. He said stock car racing took on
a new meaning when Thunder Ridge
became a reality.
"When they put Thunder Ridge in,
that made it better for everyone," he
said. "People that had become aggravated and gotten out of racing have
come back."
Martin said the best thing to happen to Floyd County was Thunder
Ridge.
•
"They'vegotgoodpeoplerunning
it They have good grandstands and it
is just a good place to race," he said.
Martin likes the interest race fans
have taken to stock car racing. He
thinks the local drivers are to be
Credited for that
"Everybody around here has a
stockcarnow,"hesaid. "Somefamilies have two or three cars."
One of those families is Martin's
uncle Jimmy Branham, who has
four stock cars. Martin drives for
• Branham.
"Jimmy has been racing since he
was 35," Martin said. "He loves
race cars. Everybody around here
likes race cars. The kids, they love
it"
Martin said there were many
good drivers around the local area
and he feels that Paul Harris, of
Prestonsburg, is as good a driver as
there is.
"He is as good as any around,"
said Martin. "Paul Davis is another
good driver. He is a competitor.
Benny Felton over in Perry County
is a veteran driver. These fellows
can race with anybody."
Martin believes that drivers such
as himself can learn from the veterans by just observing how they do
things.
"I look for me little things that
makes mem winners," he said. ''First
of the week on, it takes a half of a
season to get me car ready. Some of
the local drivers work on their car
all week. You kind of watch mem
and see what they do. We have
some great local drivers."
Aggravatedornot,Martin'slove
for me motorsport is a driving force
in his life and he loves what he is
doing.

not me only reason for running at
Thunder Ridge.
"I've run third. I was at one time
third in points here at Thunder Ridge,
but I missed a weekend and fell back
some," he said. "If you miss a weekend, it really hurts you in me points
standings."
Missed weekends, as any driver
will tell you, could prove costly in
stock car racing.
~
Halbert said mat be would like to
run at other tracks but he would have
to make some changes.
"Ifltookmycartome201 Speedway, it would be what they would call
aLate Model," explained the veteran
driver. "At 201, I would have to
change my tires and redo the whole
car. It's hard to do mat from week to
week."
After a Saturday night of racing,
Halbert starts preparing for the next
Saturday.
"On Mondays I take it out, wash it
and clean it up some," be explained.
"I' 11 check all the tires out and do just
general maintenance on it.
"On Friday evenings, I'll go over
it again. On Saturday morning, I'll
roll my tires out and then give it a real
good wash job."
Halbert agrees with omer drivers
that Thunder Ridge is a showplace to
good stock car racing and the new
facility has a good future in the area
"This track has done a lot for
Floyd County," be said. ''This place
could be the best track in Kentucky.
It's a first class facility. They have
plenty of parking, grandstands and
the track is big and wide."
Last year me facility haP, problems getting the track in shape at the
start of racing at me new structure.
Halbert believes the track committee has just about got it down.
"They have most of the bugs
worked out of me track," he said.
"They still have a couple of things to
do wim it yet. They are always asking me drivers what needs to be
done."
Sports fans are eager to talk about
me sport mey love and lately it seems
that the stock car racing scene is a
must on the list of things to discuss.
Everyone loves to see me cars
make me circuits on Friday and Saturday nights and most fans cheer for
their favorite drivers.
JustasJeffGordon, Dale Earnhardt
and other NASCAR drivers are
cheered on by their fans, so are me

Stock car racing has lhrilled me
hearts of millions of fans over me
years, but it has really caught on in
the last 10 years like never before.
There was the race track located
just above Martin several years back
and the track was me place that many
frequented every weekend.
Over the years several other tracks
developed, such as me Perry County
Speedway. There was me Salyersville Speedway and a race track located in lsom.
Five years ago, 201 Speedway
moved into the racing picture as a
place for everyone to take in some
serious stock car racing.
The Indy 500 became the annual
Memorial Day event as eyes were
fastened to the television set for the
"big race."
NASCAR racing began to make
its presence known and bas certainly
bloomed the past 10 years.
It was NASCAR racing mat
caught the fancy of Marty Hamilton
and led to his son Keim taking to me
circuits this year.
Keim Hamilton is in his flfSt year
of racing at Prestonsburg's Thunder
Ridge. He said mat his dad was a
completeNASCAR fan and that triggered his interest.
"My dad has been a NASCAR
fan ever since I was born," said
Hamilton. "He has all me NASCAR
races on video tape, and all kinds of
pictures, posters. One room of our
house is noming but racing stuff."
Hamilton related how working
on one of his friend's cars inspired
him to search for one of his own.
"One of my buddies has a car in
the same class and it stays at me
house and we do a lot of work on it
I worked on his so I figured I might
as well have my own to work on."
The rest is history as Hamilton
began looking for his own car. "I got
my own car, worked on it and got it
running," he said.
Hamilton runs in the Thunder 'N
Lightning division at Thunder Ridge
each Saturday night. He hasn't bad
the chance to visit other speedways
but enjoys running at the local track.
"I haven't been to me Perry
County Speedway yet," said
Hamilton. "Right now we are just
concentrating on one night here."
Perry County Speedway runs on
Friday nights.
The Thunder 'N Lighting division is a step down from the Late
Model division, according to
Hamilton.
"Basically, it is unlimited on motors and everything (Thunder 'N
Lighting)," be stated, "just like a
Late Model. We weigh more man
mey do. We have stock frames and
bodies."
Just one night at the race track is
notall the time Hamilton spends with
his stock car.
"We spend a lot of time working
on the car," be said. "You have to.
We wrecked it one week and it took
us a long time to get it back together.
We were lucky to get it back together."
Hamilton related that changing
me oil and cleaning the filters weekly
is me extent of the maintenance work
during the week if me car is not
wrecked.
"As long as there is nothing wrong
with it and everything is all right. all
we do is change the oil and clean the
ftlters back out. It's a weekly min g."
Hamilton has two partners, his
father and Lester Blackburn.
"Lester has done a lot," said
Hamilton. "He built the engine for
me car. He does a lot of other mings."
Hamilton recalled the first time
he circled the track in competition.
"Yeah, it was right here (Thunder
Ridge)," he recalled. "This is my
very flfst year and I was pretty nervous at ftrst. When you push the gas
on a racer it's not like driving a
normal car."
Any flfst time reservations?
"No. I couldn't wait to get back
out there again." he said.
The first year driver knows that
me hobby is not all that rewarding
and requires quite an initial investment.
""In my car right now, I guess I
have $12,000 in it. It's expensive,"
he said.
Hamilton has ftnished as high as
third in a feature race at Thunder
Ridge.
Each driver attends a drivers'
meeting just before the heat races.
Hamilton said that meeting is informative.
"They tell us the set up for the
night: who runs flrst, which race is
going to be flfst. They will go over
spinout rules and any rule changes,"
said Hamilton.
UnliketheLateModels, the Thunder and Lightning top three winners
are reqmre<l to weigh in after the
race, and not before. Late Models are
weighed before and after me race.
Hamilton credits Thunder Ridge
for making stock car racing even
more popular in the area.
"This is a nice place to race," he
said. "They have good crowds here.
They started bringing in the bigger
boys (race car drivers) and some of
the big names in racing. That has
created a lot of interest.
"Before, you had to travel a long
way to see some of me drivers, but
now they are bringing mem here," he
said.
Hamilton's pit crew consist of his
father, Blackburn, Shannon Reynolds, Barry Hall and Lance Williams.

Peregrine release
project promising
Currently, me peregrine falcon
.restoration project bas a 75 percent
success rate.
That's better man most releases,
urban or rural, and it's much better
lhan peregrines naturally face in the
wild. Laura Burford, wildlife biologist and senior hack site attendant,
points out that overall in me wild,
peregrines fjiCe a 70 percent mortality rate from disease, weather, accidents and predation.
Over the past two months, me
Kentucky Department of Fish and
Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) has
released 12 birds from the E. W .
Brown Power Plant in Mercer County.
The releases result from the
KDFWR' s participation in a national
recovery plan to remove peregrines
from the endangered species list.
Although three of me birds have
been preyed upon by their greatest
natural enemy, the great homed owl,
and anomer is missing, me program
is still promising.
Biologist Buford comments, "We
are still way above average of what
mese birds would be facing in the
wild." Only one wild peregrine of
four survives to its first year.
Six of the 12 falcons have honed
meir flight and survival skills so well
that they are out of the danger zone as
far as owl predation is concerned.
Two peregrines from the second
release are being kept in the hack box
a little longer while efforts are underway to trap the owl and remove it
from the area.
Knowing that owls were in the
area, predation was not a surprise.
Natural selection is how nature ensures that only the fittest of a species
survive. The birds that were taken by
owls were small males that either
were injured or were having flight
problems.
D iologist Burford explains, "[Owl
predation] is something mey'd be
facing in the wild, it's not something
completely unexpected and terrible.
By releasing them here, a rural area,
you're making the birds that survive
aware of the fact that there is a predator out there that is a threat."

Johnson County is back in the dog
business and could soon have two
animal shelters.
The fiscal court bas decided to use
the $6,000 appropriated in its new
budget to the Paintsville-Johnson
County Animal Shelter as salary for
a dog warden.
On Tuesday, the court hired Duell
Eugene Salyers to the position and
initiated plans to build a temporary
shelter to house the stray dogs be
picks up.
A permanent shelter could come
later, Judge-Executive Hobert
Meade said.
That means two animal shelters
could be located in the county. The
Paintsville Humane Society's shelter, located at Tutor Key, remains in
business, although the group is reportedly wanting to sell it.
The court's action to hire a dog
warden effectively ends its financial
commitment to the Humane Society, which has also lost funding this
year from the city of Paintsville.
Both governments decided not to
donate money to the animal shelter
because of concerns with the way
the facility is operated.
The fiscal court had been giving
$24,000 a year to the animal shelter,
with the money used to hire personnel. In the new 1995-96 budget,
Meade recommended that the
amount be reduced to $6,000, and
the fiscal court agreed.
But the county left the door open
to negotiations with the Humane Society, inviting them to meet with the
court to discuss the issue. Organiza-
tion officials reportedly did not respond, prompting Meade to write a
letter cutting off the remaining money.
The shelter is now operated solely
on private contributions.
If the facility is sold, County Attorney Scott Preston said the Humane Society would have to pay back
money the county gave to help purchase the property. A grant awarded
the county several years ago to build
the shelter would also have to be paid
back, he said.
In other action Tuesday, commissioners awarded bids on replacement

new gymnasium.
The state Department of Education gave school administrators the
go-ahead this week on the two construction projects, including the building of the gymnasium and a fieldhouse/athleticcomplex. The state had
put a hold on the projects in March
1994due to the district's limited bonding capacity. Officials celebrated the
release Wednesday at a news conference.
"We still have quite a bit of work
to do to get all the preliminary work
completed before ground is actually
broken," said Superintendent Reo
Johns, "but we can safely say there is
now no barrier in our way.
"I hope you all are as pleased at
this moment as I am."
There may be no official barriers
in the way, such as the state's ban on
construction in the district, but there
are complications.
In 1994 when the state halted the
$7.9 million bond sale that was to
fund the construction, architectural
drawings for both projects had already been approved and many contracts awarded.
The gym was to be the more expensive of the two projects with a
price tag of more than $5.7 million.
The construction management ftrm
of Martin Engineering and Construction had been hired to oversee the
project
Since that time, however, Martin
Engineering has been released from
its contract with the board The board
will now oversee the project, as it is
doing with the fieldhouse/athletic
complex.
The gym has already had two architects. The fli'St was Ellis and Associates, which was let go after it failed
to secure its professional insurance,
as required by law.
The second was Lexington architect Paul Hoffman. Bruce Hopkins,
communications director for the Pike
County School District. said W ednesday that the fum has notified Frankfort it is no longer in business.
That leaves the district with two
sets of architectural drawings for the
gym, but before either will be approved by the state, an architect will
have to endorse the plans. Hopkins
said he was unsure whether
Richardson Associates Architects, the
architectural firm for the fieldhouse/
athletic complex, would be willing to
sign off on the plans.
Another holdup in the gym's consrruction could be funding.

about how much the district might

be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Promoting Governor's Scholars
by Polly Ward
Times Feature Writer
"Being chosen as a Governor's
Scholar was something I had dreamed
about since I heard about it When I
learned I was accepted into the program, I was estactic," said Emily
Damron, who was a junior at Prestonsburg High School when she was
selected as a Governor's Scholar for
the summer of 1993.
Today, Emily is a music major at
Transylvania University in J_.exington. "I think the Govemor's.Scholar
Program helped me win a scholarship at Transylvania," she said.
Emily was one of the speakers at a
program held recently at May Lodge
at Jenny Wiley State Park. The event
was designed to promote the
Governor's Scholars Program, which
was created in July of 1983 as a fiveweek summer enrichment experience
for Kentucky's most talented high
school juniors. That first summer
twelve years ago, 245 scholars were
involved in the program. This year,
700 students from schools throughout the state were named Governor's
Scholars. Six of the scholars were
from Floyd County. They were: Neil
Moore, Shonequa Oden and Brandon Stumbo, all of South Floyd High
School; Angela Nichols and Michael
Slone of Prestonsburg High School;
and Charity Salisbury ofBetsy Layne
High School.
The educational program, which
is free to the scholars, is funded by
Governor Brereton Jones with the
support of the state legislature. Partnerships with private business, educational agencies, and foundations
also play a role, as does fund raising
in the private sector.
Another speaker on ·the -agenda
was Shirlene Sisney, executive director of the program, who called the
scholars program "one of the finest
programs in education."
Sisney should know. The fanner
teacher was the National Teacher of
theYear in 1984. Her role as director
of the Governor's Scholars Program
includes speaking to community leaders about the importance and diver-
Deadline is Saturday:
Aid to victims of the May 13-19
storm reaches $3.4 million
Efforts by state Division of Disaster and Emergency Services to assist
victims of the widespread tornado
and flooding disaster of May 13-19
have moved to the $700,000 mark
with approved individual and family
grant payments going to 188 disaster
applicants in 14 counties.
Combined with other fonns of assistance to disaster victims, federal/
state disaster program aid now totals
$3.4 million, including 466 emergency housing payments from FEMA
of almost $721,000, plus 103 low
interest disaster loans worth almost
$2 million from the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Out of the $703,312 approved for
distribution in Kentucky through the
Individual and Family Grant Program, Floyd County will receive
$34,241. Thirty-three applications
have been approved and 12 applications from Floyd Countians are pending.
Through FEMA's emergency
housing grant program, Floyd County
received$155,235 for 106applicants.
The average amount awarded to the
applicants was about $1,450.
Floyd County businesses affected
by the storm also received substantial
help through the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA). Six business
loans were approved for Floyd County
businesses, amounting to $68,200.
The SBA also awarded $42,300 for
four home loans.
The deadline for individual and
family grant program applications
runs out Saturday, August 12, officials have announced. These counties are Bath, Carter, Christian, Clark,
Elliott, Floyd, Hardin, Jessamine,
Laurel, Mercer, Meade, Montgomery, Pike and Rowan.
The Disaster Field Office in Lexington where DES staff had been
working since June 15 with disaster
recovery personnel from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency,
will close joint operations on Tuesday, August 15. Activity then will
shift entirely to the state Division of
Disaster and Emergency Services offices in Frankfort
Another category of federal/state
disaster assistance projects also is
moving ahead to replace and repair
public facilities in 28 Kentucky counties affected by the same severe
weather of May. Teams of FEMA
inspectors have been establishing
damage survey reports (DSRs) that
comprise the formal application from
each of the Kentucky counties, cities
or non-profit agencies involved in
the disaster declaration. These assistance projects can begin soon at the
county level, with approval of their
applications.
The 28 counties eligible for public
assistance under the disaster declaration are Adair, Bath, Boyd, Breathitt,
Breckinridge, Carter, Casey, Clark,
Cumberland, Elliott, Floyd, Fulton,
Green, Hardin, Jackson, Jessamine,
Johnson, Lawrence, Magoffin,
Meade, Montgomery, Owsley, Perry,

However, due to a shortfall in the

Commission's budget, officials ordered districts to use the 1990 offerings by September 1994orlose them.
Because of the ban on construction, the district was notable to make

Without continued support in this
area the American Cancer Society
will not be able to continue the critical research needed to find a cure for
sity of the program. "We're taking
the brightest and best students, the
products of our local schools....and
think we can do something different
with them."
That "something different" includes a variety ofeducational activities for the scholars, 15 liberal arts
subject areas, and leaders in various
fields who serve as role models. Student productions, publications, research, experiments and field trips
are also a part of the intense curriculum.
"Our scholars advance so far from
pre-and post tests, that we were blown
away," Sisney said.
Mike Duncan, president of Inez
Deposit Bank, and who is the chairman of the Governor's Scholars
board, began his speech by declaring
that "The Governor's Scholar Program is the future of Kentucky." He
also added, "It is an Eastern Kentucky program."
The program was born in the early
1980s when Floyd Countian John
Stephens wrote a letter to then-Governor John Y. Brown asking for support of a proposed program for Eastem Kentucky scholars. "One problem John (Stephens) saw was the
export of the best minds" to other
states because of lack ofjob opportunities in Eastern Kentucky, Duncan
said.
Governor Brown was sold on the
program, which became an educational venture that was expanded to
the rest of the state. "GovemorCollins
expanded the scholars from 300 to
700 scholars today," he said.
One goal of the program is "to
encourage all the scholars to stay in
Kentucky," Duncan said. A job network that scholars can access through
a computer data base will be available next year and will help accomplish that goal, he said.
Internships for Governor's Scholars that are offered by businesses and
give a specific cost, Johns did say the
district would probably end up spending between $6-8 million.
The two sets of plans based seating on an anticipated enrollment at
the school of around 1,300. Johns
said enrollment is closer to 850, so
plans will probably be down-sized to
accommodate seating based on an
enrollment of 1,000.
Despite the problems that lie
ahead, officials said Wednesday they
expect the softball field to be ready
next spring, the football field ready
for play in the fall of 1996, and the
gym completed in February 1997.
"I just can't believe we're ready to
get started now," said Pike Central·
Principal Roger Johnson. "Now
we've got a bright future."
"Maybe the problems we've had
in the past will be behind us," said
School Board Chairman John
Blackburn. "This is not for us.
''This is for the children."

The Indian
in the Cupboard
As a child, all my toys were real to me. When I
talked to my teddy bear, I knew he heard me and I
was able to hear what he had to say to me. Sadly, as
time went on and I grew up, my imagination
wouldn't allow for such fantasy. Thus it is for all of
us as we leave behind the magic of childhood for the
realities of adulthood. Happily, this excellent movie
brings back all that magic.
Hal Scardino portrays Omri, a 9-year-old boy
whom we first encounter at his birthday party. Gifts
include an old key, a wooden cupboard, a skateboard and a miniature figure of an Indian. Much to
the boy's surprise, he discovers that any plastic
figure he puts into the cupboard springs to life when
the cupboard is opened. The Indian figure turns out
to be a teenage Onondaga named Little Bear
(Litefoot). Little Bear comes to the cupboard by way
of 1761. He is whisked away from his life in the
Iroquois Nation to become part of a little boy's
playthings in modem America. Naturally, the Indian
assumes he's died and is in the presence of the
"Great Spirit," but this soon passes and he realizes
Omri is all too human.
Unable to contain himself, Ornri shares his secret
with his best friend, Patrick, who, in tum, puts his
cowboy figure, Boone (David Keith) into the
cupboard. Soon, the Indian and the cowboy are
engaged in mortal combat and the two boys are
desperate to set things right.
This fme family film is based on the very popular
children's book by Lynne Reid Banks. Frank Oz (of
"Muppet" fame) directs this masterpiece and he
does a superb job. He never loses the whimsy and
mystical qualities of childhood, even as we watch
the two boys grow away from their fantasy.
If you can only make one family movie at all this
season, this should be the one. It's a four-star
winner!

wonderful fantasy adventures with
Quinton McCord (MichaelTy lo) who
later discovered he was Vanessa

"Loving's" newest star, George

HOME TIPS
MEMORY JOGGER-Iamelderly and I have trouble remembering
appointments, even though I have
noted them on a large calendar on my
desk. Recently, I was a week early for
a medical appointment. When I got
home, I used a crimson highlighting
marker to outline the rectangles for
other such appointments.
This worked fme for me, so I
bought a set of five color markers. I
use blue for payments due; yellow
for birthdays, anniversaries and social events; green for travel planning;
and orange for all others. The rectangle may be blocked off in two or
more colors, as when you have scheduled a visit to the bank on the way to
the doctor's office.
For those with failing memories,
this can be a real confidence-builder.
It's entertaining too, as patterns of
colorful flags emerge on the calendar
as the month goes by. Harry W .• Mt.
Pleasant, Te xas
PAPER, PLEASE-Ask for paper bags every other time you grocery shop. After they are empty, cut
out the bottoms and tear along the
back seam. You will have very heavy
paper to use to wrap packages for
mailing, use as backs for fragile patterns or as shelf liners, to name just a
few uses.
I get plastic bags every other shopping day to use as trash-can liners and
packing material. Fiona D ., Riverside, Calif.
MIX AND MATC H- We keep
a clear plastic shoe box o n a low
kitchen shelf to collect all those little
items (especially game pieces) that
turn up around the house. It is a
rotating assigned chore to take the
box from room to room and return
these items to the correct person,
place or game. It is also the first place
someone looks when a small item is
missing. Ginny T ., Columbia, S.C.
IT'S THE RAGE-Instead of

NATASHA 'S STARS
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
There's something not quite right
about a business proposition made to
you this week. Examine it carefully
and you'll come up with the right
ans wer. In romance, though, it's a
time of harmony and greater understanding.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A
social connection will prove helpful
in business this week. However, there
could be a delay about some money
due you . Don't let this cause you to
lose your temper. Be patient and the
outcome is assured. A friend has a
different vie wpoint.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Someone at work interrupts every
time you try to get your points across
this week. This person enjoys being
the proverbial fly in the ointment, so
try to ignore him. It' s a great week for
romance.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A
gift given you now could have some
strings attached. Be sure you look
into this carefully before accepting.
You could be displeased with advice
you receive now. Family interests
and home entertaining are highlighted
this weekend.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) You
could feel a relative's criticisms are
unjust. In truth, this person is being
unduly harsh with you and is lacking
compassion. However, it's a great
week for romance and recreational
interests, particularly toward the end
of the week.
VIRG O (August 23 to September
22) You could overhear a snide remark this week. Instead of repeating
it to the party it was directed at, just
let it go . Though extra responsibilities could come in connection with
partnerships, it' s still a good time for
romance

ber 22) You are personality-plus this
week, and you'll be making a good
impression on others, particularly
bigwigs on the job. However, you
could be concerned about a personal
matter with a friend. Someone close
is difficult.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You could suspect someone in business has ulterior motives
this week and chances are good that
you're right. Bide your time and expose this person when the time is
right. Family interests are favored
over socializing this weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) Family concerns
will take up much of your week. Still,
there will be time for happy socializing later, particularly toward the
weekend. You 'II also be dealing with
someone who has a very biased point
of view.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Friends and fmances do
not make for a favorable mix this
week. Behind-the-scenes moves are
best in business and bring much success by week's end. This weekend, a
family member gives you cause for
concern, but try not to worry too
much.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A contractual matter could
bit a snag this week or a negotiation
could break down. 'This gives you
more time to examine what's being
proposed. A money concern shouldn' t
keep you from taking advantage of
social opportunities.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) After an initial business success
early in the week, you could encounter deJays or red tape as the week goes
on. Don't be discouraged . Persist in
your efforts and you ultimately succeed. Social life is promising.

Technology can improve your
child's mathematics skills
by Dr. Jack Price
Eighty percent of the jobs that will
exist in the year 2000 do not exist
today. Also, by the year 2000, calculators and computers will be necessities, not only in the workplace but
also in the home and in the classroom. This technological boom is
creating a metamorphosis in education; the basics of tomorrow will be
drastically different from the basics
of today.
In shaping a vision of a mathematically literate society, classroom
educators have learned a very valuable lesson: If we give students the
answers, they will do well on a test; if
we teach students to solve problems,
they will succeed in life.
Using the new technology, teachers are achieving this goal. "I wanted
my students to learn that the sum of
the angle measures in a triangle is
180 degrees," one math teacher says,
"so I had them construct a lot of
triangles on the computer and record
the angle measures. The software
made it possible to collect a lot of
data quickly and make a generalization. I've found that students remember the relationship better if they discovered it themselves."
These days, preparing students to
succeed in the world means not only
helping them master the three Rs, but
also the two Cs--calcu lators and computers-before they graduate from
high school. An analysis of79 differentresearch studies revealed that stu·
dents who use calculators along with
traditional instruction can improve
their basic skills with pen and paper.
Used effectively, calculators and
computers are tools to enhance discussion, not machines to replace a
child's _.........,..,.
The National Council ofTeachcrs
of Mathematics (NCTM) recommends that all students use calculators to:
• Concentrate on the problem-solving process rather than on the calculations associated with the problem.
• Gain access to mathematics beyond the students' level of computational skills.
• Explore, develop and reinforce
concepts including estimation, computation, approximation and properties.
• Experiment with mathematical
ideas and discover patterns.
• Perform tedious computations
that arise when working with real
data in problem-solving situations.
Calculators and computers not
only save lime, but also give students
access to new ways ofexploring concepts. Here are some activities that
parents can do with their children to
enhance their mathematics skills and
their ability to work with calculators:
• Practice basic facts using the
calculator just as you would using
flash cards. The person witb tbe calculator states a basic problem like
7x8 or 63-9 aloud while entering it
into the calculator. The other person
tries to say the answer before it is
displayed on the calculator.
• Working in a pair, pick a sixdigit number with no zeros. Then
take turns thinking of and subtracting
a number that has only one digit that's
not a zero. Whoever gets the number
down to zero frrst is the winner.

With computers becoming more
prevalent at school and at home, parents and teachers can help reduce the
stress video display terminals (VDT)
may place on children's eyes, according Lo the American Optometric
Association (AOA).
That stress can lead to symptoms
of eyestrain, like headaches, blurred
vision, itching or burning eyes, and
eye fatigue. However, computers and
children's eyes can be compatible.
Here are some recommendations from
AOA that can promote comfort and
efficiency at the VDT:
• Strive for uniform lighting
throughout the room, and have the
child use a desk lamp to illuminate
reference material.
• Eliminate reflected glare from
windows and other light sources with
shades, blinds or drapes.
• Adjust screen brighmess to three
or four times the brighmess of room
lighting.
• If the room lighting is hard to
control, try using a glare screen over
the VDT screen. Glare screens that
feature the AOA Seal of Acceptance
have been found to meet stringent
standards for glare reduction and are
readily available at business supply
stores.
• Adjustcomputerequipmentand
furniture for children, so they can
avoid using awkward head or body
movements.
• Place reference material the same
distance from the eyes as the VDT
screen to avoid having to change focus when looking from one another. )
Frequent focusing changes may prO!
mote tiredness.
• Make sure the child takes frequentrestbreaks. Prolonged concentration on a computer screen may
contribute to the development ofeyestrain, AOA says.
Something else that can play an
important part in healthy VDT habits, as well as continued success in
school, is an annual eye examination,
according to AOA. Children's eyes
are under great stress from the usual
close reading and writing work that
makes up a big part of the school day,
and the optometrist will make sure
that the child's eyes are developing
as they should and monitor any
changes in vision.

Common childhood lice problem
can be cured with caution and care
When you send your children off
to camp, you expect them to come
home with a few unwelcome surprises-a case of poison ivy, a new
pet frog, a knack for short-sheeting
your bed-but the last thing you expect, or want, them to bring home is
bead lice.
The truth is each year approxi"' mately six million children come
"" home from camp, school, daycare
and other activities with these unwanted "guests," making head lice
second only to the common cold as
the most communicable childhood
condition.
"Most parents are aware of the
threat of head lice during the school
year," said Helena Keivaara-Laine,
RN, school nurse at the Conley
School, Bethlehem Township, NJ.
"However, many don't realize that
the risk of infestation may be even
greater at summer camp."
Although higher incidences of
head lice are reported during the flfSt
weeks of school, most infestations
occurduringthesummermonthsand
• may go undetected until the child
returns to school. "Head lice prefer
the warmer summer temperatures for
breeding, which coupled with the
close quarters of bunk living make
camp the perfect target for a widespread outbreak," added Ms.
Keivaara-Lane.
• Before sending your child to
camp, inquire about policies regarding sharing a locker or storage space
for clothing and other belongings.
• Be sure to sew or write your
child's name on all personal items
including clothing, hats, sheets, tow,_ els, etc., to guard against mix-ups.
• Carefully instruct your child
about the symptoms of head lice,
what they and their eggs (nits) look
like and what needs to be done to treat
it You may want to pack a lice treatmentpreparation, such as the ClearTN
Lice Elimination System which contains a lice-killing shampoo, natural
enzyme lice-egg remover and a finetoothed nit comb. The ClearTM Liceegg Remover works in three minutes
to break the bond that cements nits to
hair making removal fast and effective.
• Since bead lice can be easily
transmitted through direct contact,
caution your children against sharing
personal items including combs,
headphones, towels and hats. Even if
only one child is infected, an innocent pillow fight can lead to a campwide epidemic.
Remember, anyone can get head
lice regardless of age, wealth or eth-
nic background. So if your child gets
it at summer camp, there's no reason
to panic-an effective lice elimination product and a little TLC will put
an end to those pesky parasites.

Those ''first day" of sch oo) Jitters
Departmemstoreseverywherealready have sounded the annual autumnalarm:lt'sback-to-schooltime.
Especially in Kentucky, where
fears of harsh winters send school
systems scurrying to start school in
August, the beginning of the school
year is mere weeks away.
With that in mind, a University of
Kentucky child development expert
has some tips for parents whose children will begin school this fall.
"Going to school is a new expertence for these children. They don't
know what to expect, so they have a
legitimate fear of the unknown, just
as adults do in unfamiliar situations,"
said Kim Townley, associate professor of family studies in UK' s College
of Human Environmental Sciences.
. "It's up to parents to give them an
idea of what they can expect, to walk
them through the process and the
routine."
Townley offers several tips:
-Parents of children beginning
school should take them to visit the
school and, if possible, visit the
children's classroom and teacher and
show them where everything is,
Townley said. She recommends that
parents call the school in advance.
Many schools offer "open house"
hours in which parents are invited to
bringtheirchildrentotourtheschool.
-Take pictures of the school, the
teacher, and maybe even the school
bus as reminders to the child of what
he or she can expect.
-Parents can work with children
to draw and write books about going
to school. The parent could contribute drawings of a clock showing the
day's schedule, such as breakfast at 7
a.m. and catching the bus at 7:30
a.m., so the new time demands will
make sense to the child.
'•
-If the child wants the parent to
accompany him or her on the first
day, the parent should set guidelines
in advance-after consultation with
the teacher. For example, parents
could agree to stay 10 minutes with
the child, then leave.
-A little reminder of home can
ease the transition-maybe something small like a picture or trinket to
fit in a child's pocket.
Older siblings make great guides,
and can ease younger siblings' fears
about school, Townley said.
Continuing your education
can be expensive. Whether
you plan to atten·d college
or trade school, Pikeville
National Bank and Trust
Company may be able to
help you with the
financing to continue your
education. In today's
mlbusiness world, an
education is usually the
basis for a secure future.
For mostchildren, especially those
who have been in day care, the transition probably won't be difficult,
she said. But children who are nervous about the start of school may
have trouble expressing it, so parents
should keep an eye out for any signs
of regression that may point to nervousness, she advises.
If the parent took the child for a
visit to the school last year, another
visit is a good idea-or at least drive
by the school to refresh the child's
memory. "If children can get the lay
of the land in advance, they will have
an easier transition," Townley said.

'FLOYD COUNTY
•gs.•gs SCHOOL CALENDAR-
Young children love to write poems, stories, riddles and jokes. However, in school, where most writing
activities take place, chilt.b:en have a
hard time writing anytbing.
Children enjoy writing at home
because it is fun and they feel no
pressure to receive a "good" grade on
an assignment
Because children seem to enjoy
writing at home, parents need to encow-age their children's writing skills.
Once a child finds the joy in writing
and practices at home, school writing
exercises should become enjoyable
as well.
Parents need to provide children
with the proper supplies for writers
of all ages. These supplies include
the tools of the trade: paper, pencils,
pens and, if available, a computer or
typewriter. A comfortable and quiet
place to write and enough time to
write and let the mind and imagination wander should also be included.
Children need this time to daydream
and encourage creativity.
Your family's attitudes can help
make writing natw·al and fun for children, rather than frustrating and difficult Lay the foundation for a love of
writing by reading and telling stories
to yow- child. Children who listen to
stories as they grow up develop a
natural understanding of how sentences and ideas are put together and
how narratives work. They tend to
have an easier time understanding
when these skills are "taught" to them
in school.
Children who enjoy reading and
want to make up their own stories are
more eager to write on their own and
for school assignments. To help prepare your child for a life-long love for
reading, tbe Teachers & Writers Collaborative and The National Endowment for the Arts suggest trying the
following steps.
• Read aloud to children, even
when they are very little. Reading
aloud offers a moment of intimacy
with parents that brings about a good
feeling about reading and books. Taking the time to read shows that you
respect written words. Be sure to
keep reading to your children, even
after they learn to read on their own.
• Encomage children to read by
taking them to the library. Even children who enjoy only simple books
will move onto more advanced books
as they mature. Asarewardorpresent,
give your child a book.
• Answer your child's questions
and listen to their stories. If children
don't think you care enough about
what they say and the stories they tell,
they will not feel confident enough to
express themselves, either aloud or
on paper.
Your response to your child's writing is extremely important. If you are
proud and praise their written work,
they will be proud of it and want to
continue writing. Point out what you
like about yow- child's writing. Praising their strengths instead ofpointing
out weaknesses is a much more effective measure to encourage writing. Be specific and honest when
praising. If you comment on everything they write with the same compliments, the effect will be lost.
Praise what is unique and unexpected in your child's work. This will
not only encourage individualism,
but will help them view writing as a
form of self-expression.
If you do criticize, always be very
gentle. Introduce criticisms and concerns after some praise. If yov are too

long as they keep writing, thcqmJlity
of work will improve.
For children just starting to write,
don't be too pushy. Many children
become afraid of failure due to prclisure. They feel they must be a flawless writer the flrst time they pick up
a pencil and are afraid of making
spelling mistakes. Encourage them
to write what they feel flrst, then
review to check for spelling and grammar mistakes.
Once children feel confident in
their ability to write well on their
own, writing in school will seem like
less of a task-and they'll actually
enjoy writing and completing assignments. Students will receive better
grades and feel less pressme, which
will make the school year a lot easier
and more fun.
Twelve smart steps to
a successful school year
by Dr. Robert 0. Minor
Sending the kids back to school
may mean less work around the house,
but smart parents know that when
children go back to school, so do
they. Since it's the parents who have
the most influence over how children
view schoolwork and learning, it is
important for them to stress the value
of education and set performance
standards, as well as to take an active
role in helping students achieve them:
Children whose parents are not
actively supportive throughout the
school year have the greatest risk of
"falling through the cracks." For these
students, poor grades, learning gaps
and low self-esteem are common.
Parental involvement is a good predictor for differentiating poor students from good ones. When paren
are involved, students often excel
and askabouttheirclasses. Be subtle,
but try to identify any distmbance,
such as an unruly classmate.
After the school day is over and
yow- home becomes the classroom,
Sylvan suggests the following "12
Smart Steps" to assist your child's
learning processes at home:
• Encourage productive study time.
• Encourage goal-setting.
• Encourage organization of all
information.
• Decide about the need for joint '
study with friends.
• Establish clear gro: d rules.

·Understanding can help your
child handle problems at school
While many children can't wait to
go back to school, some are nervous
about what the new school year will
bring. Choosing friends, making the
team, getting along with new teachers and earning good grades are just
some of the pressures children will
face, and those are enough to woriy
even the best students.
To advise parents about how to
help their children deal with conunon
school problems, Dr. Judi Craig, a
clinical psychologist, has written
"What Happened at School Today?:
Helping Your Child Handle Everyday School Problems" (William
Morrow). Giving practical, down-toearth advice, Craig covers topics from
social and behavioral troubles to
grades, homework and achievement,
offering parents tools they can use to
help solve problems before they get
out of control.
The following is just some advice
Craig offers in her book.
TEACHERS
Teachers are a vital aspect of edu•ation. They not only teach children
the basic subjects, but they also affect
how these children feel about school
and learning. If students don't like
their teachers, they may not work to
their full potential.
When children have a problem
with a teacher, parents need to be
understanding. They should listen to
their children's feelings about the
situation. Then, they should ask the
children why they think the problem
is occurring and offer alternative
ideas, if appropriate. After discussing the possible causes of the problem, parents should ask the children
• what they think could help remedy
the situation. Not only does this show
the children that their opinions are
respected, butitalsohelps them learn
to solve problems.
If the trouble continues after the
children have tried the discussed solutions, parents should make an appointment with the teacher to look
into the problem further.
SOCIAL SITUATIONS
School teaches children much
eutorethan the threeR's.Italsoteacbes
them bow to act in a social setting;
they learn how to get along and work
with other people. However, this may
be intimidating tosomechildren, who,
inturn,maynotgetinvolvedinschool.
To help avoid this situation, parents should encourage their children
to participate in school activities and
event take part in the events themselves. If there is a school carnival,
parents should go to it with their
children, and they should chaperone
"' a field trip if possible. If their parents
are involved in school, children are
more apt to be also.
ACHIEVEMENT
Many factors affect children's
achievement in school, including vision and bearing, the classroom environment, intellectual capability, and
family situations. Another important.
factor is motivation.
To get their children motivated to
do well in school, parents should be
understanding. When children bring
home report cards with some bad
grades, parents s.hould conunent on
the positive aspects first. Then, they
should discuss the poor grades calmly
and matter-of-factly, giving the chil-
dren an opportunity to say why they
think they got the bad marks. Parents
::an then set up a plan that will help
the children improve their grades.
While there are many problems
that children will face at school, understanding and caring from their
parents can make it easier to handleand lead to an A+ school year.
Got You Down?
Back-to-school basics put your
children at the head of the class
Preparing for back to school can
be a blast as long as you do your
homework. You'll earn high marks
with the kids this school year, if you
'follow a few simple tips from
Mickey's Stufffor Kids. This "Disney
approved" brand knows that covering the basics definitely makes backto-school more fun for everyone.
Offer kids an option-When selecting a back-to-school outfit, it is
important to let the child take part in
the decision. A choice of two outfits
gives parents a form of control and
buildsconfidenceandindependence
in the child. When selecting clothing,
keep in mind that children identify
with fun, familiar characters.
Respect new choices-During the
school year, choices may want to
express themselves through their
clothing-don't discourage "out-ofthe-blue" choices. It's important to
appreciate and observe new tastes;
sometimes new choices may be attributed to clothing their friends wear
to school.
Set up an a.m./p.m. system for
getting dressed-Establish a ritual
for getting dressed and stick to it. For
example, begin a routine of picking
out - and agreeing upon - school
clothing prior to bedtime. This helps
a child get a "jump start" on the day.
It is best to begin routines a few
weeks before school starts to make
the transition easier.
"Pack, it up-A backpack is a
back-to-schgol accessory that shows

best and brightest ~.,.,,

.
a child's sense of style while allowing him or her to "pack up" books and
assignments. Fashion is important to
kids, but make sure the backpack
style they choose is suitable for
heavier loads-quilted padding on
the shoulder straps works best for
carrying many items.
Tbese shoes were made for walking-Shopping for shoes can be timeconsuming and costly. A void the mad
rush by bitting the stores three to four
weeks before school starts. Fora more
accurate fit, buy shoes in the afternoon when your child's fee tare naturally larger. Don't buy shoes that are
too big in hopes that your child will
grow into them-shoes that don't fit
properly can damage feet.
Postpone back-to-school shopping-While it is important for a
child to have a new outfit on the first
day of school, save the bulk of backto-school shopping for later. Once
children have bad the chance to connect with new friends and observe
seasonal fads and trends, it will be
easier to determine a child's tastes.
By waiting a month or so, you'll be
less likely to end up with clothing
they won't wear.
Now that you know the back-toschool basics, getting organized for
the season should be a snap. So put
away the beachwear and break out
the books--school is in session, and
Mickey's Stuff for Kids wants you at
the bead of the class.

According to a recent report by
the United States Department ofEdu•cation, National Excellence: A Case
For Developing America's Talent,
the U.S. is squandering one of its
most precious resources-the gifts,
talents and high interests of many of
its students. To correct this problem,
the nation must set higher standards
for all of its children, including those
who are our highest achievers. The
GOALS 2000initiative of the Clinton
Administration is designed to help
the nation set higher standards.
Where is the nation now in serving gifted and talented students?
• About half of the states in the
nation require schools to provide appropriate educational opportunities
~ to these students, but in many states,
funding to support these efforts is
very limited.
• Presently, about 65 percent of
public schools provide some kind of
special opportunity to gifted and talented students. However, most of
these opportunities are limited in
scope and depth. Most gifted and
talented students spend most of their
school day in regular classroom settings, with advanced learning opportunities offered a few hours a week.
• Recent research shows that, on
the average, gifted and talented elementary-agechildren have mastered
~ from 35 to 50 percent of the curriculum before the school year begins. In
the same study, teachers reported that
they make very few accommodations
for theses tudents in their classrooms.
• In 1990, states reported spending only two cents out of every $100
on services for gifted and talented
students in grades K through 12.
• America's top-performing students do not fare well when compared with similar students in other
industrialized nations, especially in
Ill mathematics and science.

Immunizations, exams required
before enrolling children in school
Parents shouldn't be caught by
surprise when school bells ring in the
new year and up-to-date immunization certificates and medical exams
are required for their children to enroll, health officials warn.
Kentucky law requires students
entering school for the first time,
including pre-school, to have bad
immunizations against diphtheria,
tetanus, polio, measles, whooping
cough and rubella A certificate confuming shots must be presented by
parents when they enroll their children in school.
"Although this is the first opportunity that officials have to make sure
that children have received their immunizations, children should have
bad most of their shots by their second birthday," said Clarkson Palmer,
M.D., communicable disease branch
manager in the Department for Health
Services.
First-time students entering primary grades and up must also present
a certificate proving that they have
had a tuberculosis test within 18
months prior to enrollment.
Incoming sixth graders must have
bad two measles/rubella shots and a
physical examination.
"Children must receive the full
series of shots to be fully inununized," Palmer said. "Often parents
begin shots on schedule, but do not
complete all of them and this leaves
children in danger."
The series of eight vaccines for
infants and toddlers are four DTP
(diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) shots,
three polio shots and one MMR
(measles, mumps, rubella) shots.
Health officials also recommend a
series of Hib and hepatitis B vaccines, not required by state law, by
age 15monthsand 12montbsrespectively.
Parents needing shots, TB skin
tests or physical exams for their children should contact their private physician or their local health department. These health professionals can
also provide parents with the certificates necessary for school enrollment

Help your child be a better test-taker
The lazy days of summer are coming to an end, and kids are beginning
to trade in their bathing suits for book
bags. At the same time, even though
many adults find it hard to believe,
many students also will be trading in
their laid-back manner for a more
serious and responsible attitude as
they head back to school.
Although today's kids still enjoy
the joys of childhood, like summer
vacation, kids overall have become
more serious than in previous generations. Due in part to the fact that
kids are being given greater responsibilities inside the borne, they are feeling greater pressure to balance home,
school and extracurricular activities.
As a result, when the school bell
rings at back-to-school season, students and their parents are turning to
organizational tools like student planners to help them organize their hectic schedules.
According to Dana Walker, marketing manager, Mead School and
Office Products, student planners
have become a staple for students
during the back-to-school season.
"We have developed a variety of
personal planners to help students
organize their time more efficiently,"
says Walker. "In addition to the functional insens like monthly calendars
ami organizational lists that are included in all of Mead's student planners, we also believe it is important to
include helpful information on everything from studying to tips on
how to become a beuer student."
For example, to enable parents to
help relieve their children of some of
the pressure they encounter prior to
taking a test, Mead has included in
their Five Star First Gear Student
Planner the following test-taking tips:
read all of the instructions before
starting the test. Each question should
be read completely before it is answered. Additionally, concentrate on
one question at a time. If your mind
goes blank, don •t panic. Instead, move

If your child suffers from
sinusitis--an inflammation of the
• nasal cavities, located above, behind
and below the eyes--reading, writing and arithmetic may be the last
thing on his or her mind. Of the 35
million Americans who suffer from
sinusitis each year, more than 5 million are under the age of 18. Unfortunately, because the condition is often
misdiagnosed as a lingering cold or
allergy, countless school days are
lost each year.
"The most common cause of
sinusitis in children is an unresolved
cold or upper respiratory infection.
The child catches a cold, and then for
weeks suffers from symptoms of nasal congestion, coughing and sneezing. Unless the cold symptoms are
properly treated, a sinus infection
will develop. This can lead to loss of
sleep and missed days at school,"
says Michael Kaliner, M.D., President, American Academy of Allergy
and Immunology.
THE ABC'S OF SINUSITIS
Some symptoms of sinusitis are
similar in both adults and children,
including nasal congestion, nasal discharge and fever. However, symptoms that are more prevalent in children include:
• • Nighttime cough.
• Earache.
• Bad breath.
• Loss of sense of smell.
In addition, allergies, dental problems, chlorinated water in swimming
pools and especially secondhand cigarette smoke can cause sinusitis or
exacerbate an existing condition. In
fact, secondhand cigarette smoke is
the most potent environmental pollutantresponsible for sinusitis in children.

~
TREATMENT 101
The three goals of sinusitis treatmentare:
1. Control infection.
2. Reduce swelling and clear the
sinus openings.
3. Ensure that sinuses stay unclogged and infection free.
To achieve these outcomes, your
child's physician may prescribe a
course of pediatric strength medications, including antibiotics to sterilize the sinuses and free them of infection; decongestants (e.g., Deconsal®)
to clear excess phlegm or mucus. To
treat symptoms of allergic rhinitis,
such as sneezing and itchy, watery
eyes, which are commonly associated with sinusitis, an antihistamine
(e.g., Atrohist®) may be prescribed.
Some pediatric strength medications (e.g., Deconsal, Humibid D .M.,
Atrohist) are available as capsules
which can be opened and sprinkled
on small amounts of soft food immediately prior to ingestion. which is
ideal for children, who may have
trouble swallowing capsules or tablets.
In many cases, physicians recommend a nasal lavage for sinusitis
therapy. Although awkward at flrst,
frequent irrigation (three to four times
a day) with a saline solution washes
out excess mucus and bacteria, reduces swelling and eases breathing. ·
Statistics show that September and
October are big cold months for
school children. So, if your child's
cold lingers for more than 10 days,
see your pediatrician. A proper diagnosis and effective treatment can enable him or her to pass the new school
year with flying colors.

A special grand jury investigating alleged government corruption
in Floyd County is expected to
complete its probe by the end of
August, while a federal grand jury
will meet today (Wednesday) in
Ashland to continue hearing evidence related to the personal
fmances of County Attorney Jim
Hammond.
On Monday, Larry Fentress,
with the special prosecution branch
of the state attorney general's
office, said that the inquiry into

Public hearings on new tax
districts eyed by 911 panel
by Alisa Goodwill
Staff Writer
Possible sites for public hearings
about four new fire tax districts
were discussed during Friday's 911
board meeting.
"The 911 board will take the initiative to hold a public hearing
within each area affected by the
new taxing districts," Floyd County
Judge-Executive Bob Meyer said.
The new districts include areas
near Auxier, Prestonsburg, Martin
and Cow Creek that currently do
not have ftre protection.
Possible sites for the public
hearings include Endicott Fruwill
Baptist Church for residents near
Buffalo; The Little Paint Church of
God or Auxier Elementary gym for
residents near Little Paint; Martin
Elementary School for residents
near Martin; and the courthouse for
residents living on Abbott Creek,
Spurlock and other areas near Prestonsburg.
The 911 board also approved
three different maps that showed
the boundaries of fire protection,
police protection and ambulance
coverage.
Jim Caldwell, 911 advisory
board representative, said at this
point all ambulance services, fire
departments and law enforcement
agencies are in agreement on
boundaries.
The police protection map
included city, state and the sheriff's
department. In areas outside municipalities, the Kentucky State Police
(KSP) and the sheriff's departmer\r
will be contacted, Caldwell said.
"In areas other than Prestonsburg, we need to be contacted frrst
because they (other cities) don't
work murders or accidents," Post 9KSP Captain Robert Forsythe said.
Wayland Mayor Gene Mullins
agreed with Forsythe.

Soaring summer temperatures
are sweeping across the eastern
half of the nation and the heat is
taking its toll on residents in Floyd
County.
Local hospitals are reporting
that a number of people have been
admitted or treated for heat exhaustion or heat-related problems,
but so far no heat-related deaths
have been reported in the county.
Kathy Rubado, public relations
director for Highlands Regional
Medical Center, said Tuesday that
"several people" have been treated
or admitted at the hospital for heat
exhaustion or heat-related illnesses.
"No deaths (caused by the heat)
have been reported," Rubado said.
"We've had several instances of
people being treated (due to the
heat). It's taking its toll on everyone."
At McDowell Appalachian
Regional Hospital, there has been
one person admitted and treated
for heat exhaustion, but there is a
rise in heat-related illnesses.
Donna Johnson, who works in
McDowell's administrative department, said Tuesday that the heat
appears to be having the biggest
effect on persons with respiratory
problems.
"We have had several people
admitted and treated for respiratory problems that are heat-related,"
Johnson said. "The heat seems to
be affecting black lung and asthma
patients the most Their conditions
become aggravated by the heat."
Officials with Our Lady of the
Way Hospital in Martin did not
respond to a request for information.
According to Floyd County
Coroner Roger Nelson's office,

Cooperation is key to .survival downtown
by Janice Shepherd
Managing Editor
Main Street merchants in Prestonsburg
must work together to survive, Fred James,
Main Street manager, implied during a
meeting of downtown business owners
·Thursday.
The downtown area has lost six businesses since December and merchants say
it's a toss up to see which business will be
the next to close its doors.
When asked what businesses could do to
bring shoppers into the downtown area,
James said it will take "a lot of hustling and
a lot of folks working together."
"You've got to organize," James said.
"The merchants must work together."
He advised merchants to become part of the
planning process and become actively
involved in festival committees, including
the Jenny Wiley Festival.
"Merchants have to get together and
decide what they want to do during this festival. The merchants need to have a
strong voice (in the planning)," he added.
He also suggested that store owners
begin preparations now for the bicentennial celebration of Floyd County in the
year 2000 and recommended that the
stores • decor reflect an era of bygone
days.
To attract tourists into the town, merchants should have something to sell that
tourists want, James said, adding that the
merchandise could be postcards, T-shi.rts,
or coal paraphernalia.
James said merchants must begin a
campaign of special events, such as the
Back to School music celebration by
WXKZ Saturday night, August 19, in the
River Park.
James and Prestonsburg City Councilman Dick Clark also discussed improvement projects planned for the downtown
area After installation is completed of the
new traffic lights on Lake Drive and Court
Street, work will begin on improving the
sidewalks, Clark said.
Another change for downtown merchants will be parking on Court Street.
Parking will change from parallel to diagonal and will be permitted on one side of the
street only. Although this will cause the
downtown businesses to lose about four or

Scott hopes
conservative
wind carries
him to victory
by Scott Perry
Ttmes Editor
He's jumped out of airplanes and
paddled a boat down the Big Sandy
River to attract attention to his
causes, but this time around, Will T.
Scott is relying on the winds to
carry him to victory.
Scott, a former circuit judge in
Pike County and a twice-defeated
candidate for the U.S. House of
Representatives, is running this
year as the Republican nominee for
Kentucky Attorney General.
And, while be hasn't totally
abandoned his method of crunpaign
gimmickry...he's traveling the state
by stoek car to promote his proposal to require that seat belts be
installed on school buses...Scott is
more inclined in this campaign 10
put his fate in the hands of his
party.
"The winds of change are out
there and the people have said they
want a conservative voice in their
system of justice," Scott said in a
recent interview. "Kentuckians are
tired of liberalism in their criminal
justice system. They want violent
criminals in jail."

by Alisa Goodwill
Staff Writer
The new municipal parking lot,
located on North Arnold and South
Lake Drive, was discussed at Prestonsburg City Council Monday.
Councilman Hansel Cooley, building and equipment committee chairman, said the committee otet Monday morning to study proposals for
the new parldng lot.
"We (the committee) want to do
the parlcing lot in a way that will be
beautiful, but also functional for many
years to come," Cooley said.
The lot, the site of Whitten's Taxi
and the old States Motel, was recently purchasetl from the Spurlock
family after council sold the existing
municipal parking lot to the Floyd
County Fiscal Court.
Suggestions for the new parking
lot include a pavilion, a number of
handicap spaces, lighting and landscaping.
Other city improvements include
projects at Goble Roberts, Archer
Park and West Prestonsburg.

Mayor Jerry Fannin said the main
concern by Goble Roberts residents
is drainage.

Two Pikeville men were arrested
early Saturday morning while attempting to steal metal pieces from a
Prestonsburg business.
Christopher J. Charles, 23, and
John T. Mullins, 18, were arrested
after being spotted by Prestonsburg
sergeant Gerald Clarlc and auxiliary
police officer Dale Morton at 12:40
a.m. Saturday.
Clark said he and Morton drove
by Uptown Mining and spotted two
people loading metal pieces onto a
red Toyota truck.
The two men were allegedly stealing metal parts from conveyor belts
for mining operations.
"We drove up to Calhoun's Garage and turned around," Clark said.
"When we returned the subjects took
off running."
Charles was apprehended by Prestonsburg patrolman Mack Stewart at
12:50 a.m., Clarlc said.
Mullins was not apprehended until 3:25 a.m. on Route 3 near Center
Stage, he added.
"I spotted a man, wet and muddy,
walking down the roadway about 3:15
a.m.," Clark said. "I was able to identify him as the suspect and arrested

hliD.
Charles and Mullins were lodged
in the Floyd County jail. They were
charged with unlawful taking over

Clark said their vehicle was impounded because identification numbers were missing from the truck and
it may be stolen.

said.
Part of the Goble Roberts project
is installing storm drains. Fannin said
the project was coming along fine.
The soil conservation project at
Archer Park is almost complete and
workers have started on the West
Prestonsburg project, Fannin said.
In other business:
• Councilman Robert Allen, administration and personnel committee chairman, recommended anumber ofchanges within the public works
department.
The recommendations are to hire
Ronnie Rice as maintenance specialist; adjust pay for Ralph Fields, who
is moving from maintenance worker
I to maintenance worker II; and move
Bobby Damron from part-time maintenance worker I to full-time maintenance worker I.
Allen also recommended changing Doug Wells' title to dispatch supervisor and to refer the public works
department request for an additional
equipment operator to the finance
and revenue committee.
Council approved all recommendations.
• Fannin recognized Gene Luka
for his time and effqrt as chairman of
the tourism commission. Luka recently resigned bis position because
he is moving.
• Council approved a resolution
that would establish a fund to promote an educational program about
the environment and water. The fund
is contingent on the U.S. Corps of
Engineets deeding 85 acres to the
city for the purpose of developing a
recreational area. The program would
be funded through rents or royalties,
up to $50,000, from the property
deeded to the city.

nance related to the sale of alcohol in
the city because a petition has been
filed for a wet/dry election for the
Mouth of Beaver.
As of Tuesday afternoon, no petition for a special election had been
filed in the county clerk's office.
Also Monday, Castle inquired on
the progress of getting residents
signed up for the city's new sewer
system.
City clerk Bill Parsons reported
that there has been no progress to
report on the number of signers and
that if enough residents of New Allen
don't hook onto the system, service
will be restricted to the City of Allen.
The lack of customers outside the
city would drive up the monthly cost
for service inside the city.
"If we don' thave enough customers, we'll have to bring it back in the
city and not New Allen," Parsons
said. ''That would leave us with $60
a month sewer bills."
Until a deadline is set, sewer customers would pay a $500 tap-on fee,
but after the deadline that cost will
rise to $1,500, Parsons said. It will be
mandatory for city residents to be
hooked to the new sewer system, be

meeting.

Liberty of thought is
th~
life of the soul-Voltaire
Another year
of change
by Scott Perry
School bells ring, are you lis. ?....
terung
Another school year is about
to begin, and it should be an
interesting one for Floyd County
and Kentucky.
Locally, the school district
should see not one, but two new
superintendents by the time the
calendar changes to 1996.
The state has a new education
commissioner, too.
This year marks the sixth and
final year for implementing the
provisions of KERA, the Kentucky Education Refonn Act and
it is, for most practical purposes,
the first year Floyd Countians
will feel the full force of the
costs associated with reform.
New property valuations are
completed and higher property
taxes are the result
An interesting trend is developing in the school system's
administrative corps, too.
Several long-time staffers are
opting for retirement this year,
but they aren't taking a total leave
of the system.
They're hanging around on a
part time basis under consulting
contracts that pay them on a per
day basis.
That can be a lucrative switch,
since they can draw full retirement pay plus their consulting
fees and they can conceivably
earn more than they did by working full time.
The school board has indicated that administrative positions lost to retirement won't be
filled this year, but they will
remain occupied by the semiretired consultants.
That could save the system a
sizable chunk of change, but it
also poses an interesting question.
If those jobs can be handled
on a part time schedule now,
why were they ever filled full
time?
Yep, looks like its going to be
an interesting year for education in Kentucky, but that's no
big surprise for folks in Floyd
County.
There's never a dull moment
here. Stick around and see for
yourself.

A little about
Ronald Frasure
Editor:
To all thepeopleofFloyd CoWlty.
I want to tell you, the people, about
Ronald Frasure who is running for
judge-executive of Floyd County. I
want to tell you a little backgroWld
about Ronald.
I say that he is the most honest
man I have ever know. I have known
him since he was a child. I knew his
dadandmom.Hismotherwasagood
Christian woman, and his dad, Sage
Frasure, was my boss in a coal mine
and he sure took care of the men that
worked under him. Ifhe thought there
was a bad roof, before he would let
his men go under that roof he went in
ahead of them and made sure that it
was safe.
And I want to tell you about his
grandmother on his mother's side.
She was as good aperson as there was
in F1oyd County.
I worked with two of his uncles,
Grover Tussey, who got blown up in
the coal mines, and Gordon Tussey. I
never met the two men without a
smile on their faces. I guess if you
asked either one, they would pull the
shirt off their backs and give it to you.
Ronald and Dixie have children,
five boys and one girl. They are as
nice a people as I have met in my life.
I have met a lot of Dixie's brothers
andsisterandtheyallarenicepeople.
If anyone wants to know about
any other candidates for county judge
executive, call me. This is my phone
number: (606) 886-3619.

I would be amiss ifl didn't mention the homecoming being dedicated
to my friend and schoolmate Beatrice

Thanks to the Auxier
Homecoming Committee Asks for assistance
Editor:
in locating sister(s)
Thank you Auxier Homecoming
Committee for the wonderful weekend of August 10-12. I am referring
to the Auxier Homecoming of 1995.
The committee is to be commended for the fine job they performed. One could tell hours of hard
work. labor and planning bad gone
into this.
All the awards and recognition
that was given was very deserving of
the people who received them. I will
not try to name them individually,
I'm afraid of leaving someone out
One would have had to attend to
seetheachievementourstudentsfrom
the Auxier School has reached.
I am an alumni of Auxier High
School in the Class of 1941 and also
a former resident of Auxier. This
community will always be special to
me.
I was so impressed with theD.A.V.
for their performance. A very special
recognition to me was honoring our
World War II boys who paid the
supreme sacrifice for our country.
One being my brother, Eugene
Hyden, who was missing in action
November 14, 1943. He graduated
with theCiassof1941.Another,honoring my brother-in-law, James
"Dee" Caudill, who was a prisoner of
war in World War II, returned home
and has done much for his community.
Editor:
I am trying to locate my half-sister
or anyone who can tell me her location.
She was born at Grant Hospital in
Columbus, Ohio, on December 26,
1959. She was given the name Margaret Lavinia McDonley. Her parents were Betty Deloris McDonley
and William Robert McDonley. Her
:.nother' s maiden name was Caudill.
Our uncle told me that Betty was
killed in a car-train accident in Floy
CoWlty. I believe this was in the early
to mid 60s. I was also told that
Margaret's maternal gcindmother
raised her in Floyd County.
There may be another girl born
from this marriage. The only information that I have is her name, Rita
Faye.
Please, if anyone reading this can
help me locate my sister(s), write to
me as soon as possible. I would greatly
appreciate any help given.

Must be closing in on another presidential election
because everywhere you
look, there's Ross Perot's
face.
Is he or isn't he running?
Who cares?
Let's not forget that thanks
to Ross Perot, we've got Bill
Clinton.
If Perot really wpnts to improve this country, he could
do it by investing his vast
wealth into job creation for
the unemployed instead of
spending it to buy himself the
White House.
Perot has proven himself
adept at making money, let's
see how successful he is at
solving problems.
Toss a few billion into economic development in Appa·
lachia, Ross, then we'll talk
about Pennsylvania Avenue.
A total ban on tobacco advertising may or may not curb
the use of those products, but
it could bring another industry
to a screeching halt. ·
Tobacco companies have
long been the major sponsors of Nascarevents...which
explains why many cars look
like rolling packs of
cigarettes ... and· an ad ban
could put those events on the
skids.
Perhaps the federal
government's selection of tobacco as its whipping boy of
the nineties is well-intended,
Break
but don't forget that cigarette
ads were banned a long time
ago from television.
That didn't change much,
did it?
Will killing car racing stop
people from smoking themselves to death?
Not likely.
Those schools which have
for one reason or another put
off the implementation of
school-based decision making councils have just under a
year to play catch-up.
The state's education reform
act requires every school in
the state, with some exceptions for those which have
exceeded performance goals,
to have site-based councils in
place by July 1, 1996.
The law gave school systems six years to get into the
site-based act, and it looks
like quite a few are holding
out to the bitter end.
The downside to that procrastination is an unnecessary delay in getting parents
involved in school decision
making. Locking parents out
of that process for six years,
intentionally, is inexcusable.
For the past five-plus years,
teachers at individual schools
have had the right to say when
or if their school would adopt
the school-based approach,
but that option expires next
July.
Then, like it or not, parents
by Scott Perry
will get to come off the sidelines and into the game.
Better late than never.
•
Kentucky has .a new Commissioner of Education who
hails from the south and
should be more at home with
soup beans and cornbread
than his predecessor, who '
was a west coast quiche sort
of guy.
The new Commish has a
name that adds to Kentucky's
pioneer effort to reform education, too.
Wilmer Cody.
Too early to tell, yet, if we'll
be able to call him "Wild Bill."

Kentucky sheriffs' camp
completes 20th season
Editor:
The Kentucky Sheriffs' Boys and
Girls Ranch almost clos~ its doors
in 1978, but by "hanging in there"
and persevering, it has helped over
18,000 of Kentucky's underprivileg~ children enjoy a free week's
vacation.
It has been difficult to remain operational and solvent but with our
d~cated members and contributors
and especially with God's help, we
will continue to remain open.
Sheriffs, deputies and friends of
the sheriffs office brought these 8
thru 12-year-oldchildrentothecamp
in Gilbertsville, near Paducah, in
sheriffs cruisers, patrol cars, school
buses, and vans.Each Sunday, twelve
counselors would be waiting for the
more than 100 children, both boys
and girls, who would be staying in the
barracks that are provided for them.
Polly Poe, one of our cooks, greeted
each sheriff with a new Ranch t-shirt
and a glass of lemonade or i~ tea.
Each child also received a newt-shirt
before departing for home on Friday.
Before the week was over, the
children hik~ at the Land Between
the Lakes, went down the water slide
at Wonder Waters, got to see a movie
at the local drive-in (PG rated, of
course), three wholesome meals, plus
snacks, arts and crafts, swimming for
everyone, observing our horses in the
COO'al and plenty of fun and recreation for all children.
I have been the executive director
of the Ranch since 1978 and wanted
to reach a goal of 1,000 again this
year, but instead, had to settle for 911
- children with 65 counties participating. I want to thank everyone concern~ for helping make these twenty
years very enjoyable for the many
boys and girls who received a free
vacation at the Kentucky Sheriffs'
Boys and Girls Ranch.
This proves our motto ''No Sheriff
Ever Stood So Tall As When He
Stooped To Help A Child."
If anyone would like more information about the Boys and Girls
Ranch, please contact Helen Barter,
.0. Box 57, Gilbertsville, KY 42044
or call us at (502) 362-8660.

Offers thanks to PCC
for soccer support
Editor:
(The following letter was written
to Dr. Deborah Floyd, president of
Prestonsburg Community College,
and printed by request)
On behalf of the Floyd County
Youth Soccer League, I would like to
express my sincere appreciation to
you and the college for your support
in our new program. As a leader in
advocating quality health and
wellness in our community, you realize the importance of steering children in their early years to the path of
good physical health. In lending us
your land on which to hold our practices and games, you have helped us
start something very important in
~proving such strong physical health
m our children. Because of soccer.
the advances our children have made
in their conditioning have been phe-nomenal.
In speaking with you recently, I
realize just how strong your convictions are to the health and wellness of
not only the students at Prestonsburg
Community College but of the children and adults of the surrounding
area There is a great need to promote
stronger health values in our community and there must also be ways to do
it As PCC hosts a wellness center, a
walking track, and now, the Floyd
• County Youth Soccer League, I see
~the college becoming a center for
great athleticism. As you seek to expand in this area, I look to our soccer
program in becoming a part of that
expansion. Again, the children, parents, coaches, and I thank you for
your support now and in the future
growth of soccer in Floyd County.
~
honor Floyd County's war dead.
Each time I pass this monument I
pause and look for the names of the
young men I knew so long ago.
I say their names and speak silently to them across the veil of time
and the abyss that separates us.
In my mind's eye I see them in the
time and places when we were young.
I recognize them at once for they are
frozen forever in the glow of youth. It
is I who has suffer~ the toll of years
gone down and would perhaps be
unknown to them now.
Yet, I cherish them for being part
of my life and the sacrifice they made
for my country. I go to see them as a
pilgrimage to a shrine of my choice;
to light again, candles snuff~ out so
long ago. As long as I live, they will
live in my memory. I will never forget them.
Yet the crushing weight of things
as they are here in Floyd County
forces me to ask ...did they die in
vain? Is this government of the people,
by the people, for the people? Is there
equal justice for all here? The justice
so glowingly described to us during
our school days?
No,justiceisnotequalhere.People
from our creeks and hollows get years
for offenses which costs the political
fraternity mere probation. Do we elect
those who govern us? It is the common belief that every primary election held in Floyd County in living
memory has been rigg~. The general election has been held simply to
anoint the political machine and thus
the voting machine's choice.
Thus, wemayask,arethesepeople
our elec~ leaders? If not. how are
we different from the Russia of
Stalin's time where the standing joke
said thatarobberbrokeinto the Kremlin and stole the results of next year's
election? What is the real difference
if a jack booted storm trooper blocks
you from voting or if they let you
vote, but steal the election?
YouexperienceDemocracy where
you live and in the daily events of
your life and the events that shape the
future of your children.
Floyd County is not a Democracy.
Nothing works right here; nothing is
ever completed as plano~ or promised. What is completed bears the
mark of Cain.
A grade school is constructed but
cannot open because it is miles from
a source of water. Tens of thousands
of dollars later the school has water
but inadequate water pressure to operate the fire sprinkler system.
When it finally opens, the outside
recreational area is barely large
enough for a hopscotch game.
Another new school sinks slowly
into it's green fill dirt, allowing the
school children to see daylight
through the cracks in its walls.
A jailhouse is half completed before someone discovered that they
must buy land to build a road to the
jail's front door. Needless to say the
land was expensive.
Itbecomesmoreobvious with each
passing month that the 911 project
was never meant to be comple~ oor
implemented.
There are no police, no emergency
medical teams, no ambulances, no
fire trucks, no water lines and no fire
hydrants available in or for large areas of the county. Essentially, the
county remains in a primitive state of
development similar to a third world
country. If the 911 system had been
put into effect four years ago; two
years ago, at present or in 1997, and
you call~ the dispatcher about the
best he or she could do for you would
be to lead you in the Lord's Prayer.
No other help is available, thus it
should be clear to everyone by now,
after six years, that we got taken, again.
No county official here is ever
ultimately responsible for anything.
Millions ofdollars in taxes and grants
flow into the county and disappear.
With great fanfare, projects are
launched and millions ofdollars later,
Just look at me!

On the courthouse lawn stands a
black marble monument erect~ to
simply wither on the vine and die. No
one is held accountable, no one is
prosecuted. No records are available
to prove or disprove anything.
The money comes in and simply
disappears and is forgotten amidst
tbedrumroll forthenextgreatproject.
This is where we stand now-or more
accurately-to where we have fallen.
The soldiers listed on the black
marble monument have not deserted
us. It is we who have deserted them;
it is we who have fail~ them as we
have failed ourselves and our
children's future. We have betray~
their sacrifice by our silence and our
meek acceptance of this cabal that
plagues us.
We know where the men lis~ on
the monument are and what they have
done. But, wecanask, where is Floyd
County's American Legion? Where
is the Veterans of Foreign Wars?
Where are the countless veterans from
Floyd County who once swore to
defend this country from all enemies,
foreign and domestic? Why have they
not spoken out against this cabal?
Why have they not acted against
them? Men sin by silence when they
should speak out.
Yet, it does oot benefit our cause
nor the cause of our fallen comrades
to blame one another. ~t us simply
muster ranks again to take back that
which we once swore to defend with
our very lives. We do not have a
government of the people, by the
people, for the people.
Let us change this. Let us demand
honesty. Let us demand accountability. Let us demand competence instead of kinship. But fll'St, let's clean
them out to the bare walls and start
anew, with new names and new faces,
for a new century.

to see who they thought should get
the first call and then the board can
decide.
"As a former mayor I would
want the KSP there," Waugh said.
Floyd County chief deputy
sheriff Linzie Hunt said the sheriff's department contacts the KSP
for fatalities anyway.
Waugh said it was still common
courtesy to ask the other mayors.
A question about rescue squad
coverage was then brought up.
Meyer said the rescue squads
would not be one of the three primary calls during an emergency,
but a map would eventually be
worked out for rescue squad
boundaries.
In other business:
• Meyer said a special board
meeting would be held Friday,
August 25 at 11 am. with representatives from South Central Bell
about the progress on 911 addresses.
• Meyer said the board would
have a list of proposed locations
for the Public Service Answering
Point (PSAP) by the next special
meeting, so Caldwell can get the
advisory board's recommendation.

Scott contended that just 10 percent of the criminal indictments
issued in Kentucky are going to
trial, adding that ''ninety percent of
the criminals are getting a K-mart
blueligbt special plea bargain."
"We've got a 19th century capacity in our courts," he added.
Resolving the problem will cost
money, but Scott believes be can
fmd funds to revamp the system
without burdening Kentuckians
• with new taxes.
By increasing lawsuit filing fees,
making lawsuit losers pay court
costs and by raising those costs and
fmes, Scott says he can add $50
million a year to the $87 million
budgeted for the criminal justice
system and use that additional
money to add personnel and prisons.
"The street police are doing their
jobs, but the courts just can't handle the volume. We have to eliminate that bottleneck with more people and prisons," he said.
A considerable rise in juvenile
• crime must also be addressed
quickly, Scott said, but the state's
current juvenile code makes that
difficult

we can get tough on violent thugs,"

The 1995 Floyd County Youth

some dramatic moments.
The Wickes Lumber Terminators
fmished 5-4 on the season to take fU"St
place in the to-under division. The
~a Hut Wolverines posted an 8-21 record for the championship in the
15-under division.
The hero of the Terminators versus Whirlwinds game was Kristi
Barrowman, who kicked the winning
goal to give her team a 2-1 victory
and, more importantly, the league
championship. Megan Patton had
kicked the first goal for the Terminators to tie the game at 1. Daniel Knight
had the lone goal for the Whirlwinds.

South F1oyd bead football coach
Donnie Daniels told his team af~
they had recorded a 16-12 win over
3A Pike County Central, that this
year's ballclub was a better defensive
team than last year's, but there was
still work to be done.
"The flrst five minutes you were
scared," he told his team, "but you
got over it. This is one game. There is
still room for improvement and we
have a lot of work to do."
It may have been just a practice
game for the two clubs, but you
couldn't tell them that as they battled
on the gridiron in the sweltering heat
in front of a large crowd.
The Raiders had to come back
from a 12-0 deficit to post the victory.
Ketra Mays, a sophomore, ran for
115 yards unofficially in the scrimmage and he was pleased with the
win.
"We didn't give up when we got
down early," he said. "We have to
thank our coaches for that."
It was a tough feeling for Mays in
the early goings as he was guilty of
fumbling away the football, which
led to Pike Central's flrst score.
"I fumbled early, but I had to just
putthatbehindmeandmakebetterof
it," said Mays.
Coach Daniels echoed the same
thing.
"Ketra played a heck ofa game for
us," be said. "He made one mistake
and got down. He came to the sideline and I told him that he was going
to make mistakes like that, but he was
going to get other opportunties. He
showed a lot ofcharacter for a sophomore. He's young and be's going to
make mistakes like that"
Opportunities? Mays got them and
he made good use of them as he
turned up the speed and led his team
to victory.
Pike Central took advantage of
some early nervousness of the Raiders. After a four downs and out possession for South F1oyd, Pike Central
got on tbe scoreboard on their frrst
possession on a 1-yard plunge by
senior Mike Gillispie with 8:26 left
in the ftrst half.

This year's Raiders team is expee ted to better last year's 1-9 record
and Mullins is optimistic about the
upcoming season.
"We're going to be a lot stronger
this year," he said. "That's because
we stayed in the weight room all
summer. We went to receivers camp
and the players are looking good."
Mullins said that this year's team
has shown a lot of improvement from
last season.
"There are going to be some different things this season," he said.
"We're going to pass the football
more than we did last year. We'll

While the Raiders' backfield will
be young (with two sophomores and

Collins wins claim bomber consolation event
by Chris Bekher
Contributing Writ~r
Before a capacity crowd, the 201
Speedway's Autumn Spotlight focused on the Late Model drivers this
past weekend.
In attendance, other than the regular drivers, were several other drivers
that made their way in pursuit of the
$2,000 purse that was being offered
to the winneroftbeLateModel event.
Charles "Charging Charlie"
Swartz collected the checkered flag
in the Late Model event nosing out
veteran Paul Davis. Davis made a
strong challenge for Swartz in the
fmal circuits, but it was Swartz living
up to his nickname as he charged to
the finish line ahead of Davis.
Sixteen cars took part in the 50 lap
feature race with Scott McCloud and
Tommy Keeton setting the pace in
the early going. McCloud was able to
bold off Keeton in the first six laps
until Swartz entered the picture.
Swartz overtook Keeton on the seventh lap and began the chase for
McCloud.
On the 11th lap, Davis made his
move and roared into second place
on lap16, passing Keeton as well.
The battle for second developed between Davis and Swartz as McClond
rolled out to a six car length advantage over the rest of the field.
Swartz made his move after shaking Davis and challenged McCloud,
getting a fender under the leader but
could not pass him.
McCloud's lead ended when on
lap 33 when he entered turns one and
two and made contact with a lapped
car. The contact caused damage to
McCloud's right tread and cut down
his tire, taking him out of the ~ce.
With McCloud out of the lead, the
door opened for Swartz, who would
have to contend with Davis the rest of
the way.
For the fmal 15 laps Davis and
Swartz would wage a classic battle
around the circuits with Davis able to
pull along side of Swartz down the
back stretch only to have Swartz regain the lead on the front stretch.
Keeton rode his car into a third
place fmish and Jake Miller fmisbed

Floyd's Ketrln Maya saw nothing but blue aa the Pike Central Hawks keyed on the Raider back in

touchdown as the Raiders came from behind to post a 16-12 win over the Hawks. (photo by Ed Taylor)

F J o y d - - - - - - - - - < C o n t i n u e d f r o m B 1)
Five plays later, Pike Central led
2-0 with just over ftve minutes to
lay in the first half.
South Floyd roared back and
ulled to within four when sopboore quarterback Nick Compton hit
nior receiver Aaron Hall with a 15ard touchdown pass. Compton comleted the conversion play with a
ompletion to Terrance Mullins in
end zone for a 12-8 score.
The second half ended at 12-8 as
Raiders' confidence was increasg.
The Raiders' second defense was
[)Utstanding as they held the Hawks
;coreless over the second 15 min-
~
lites.
"We've been working real hard
t>n that," said Coach Daniels. ''We
tnixed some kids in and out on the
!ieeond series. In the second half, we
started mixing kids in and out again."
"Ow- attitude is better this year,"
wd Mays after the game. "This year
we wantit.Lastyearwewere 1-9 and
we want to take it all the way and
work for the playoffs.
"I know it was just a scrimmage
game, but it meant a lot to me and it
iJleans a lot to the team," he said.
The Raiders are a more balanced

!hink that he has several that can play

"One thing I've said all year about
this team is that one to twenty, we're
~ual. When we put that second bunch
in there I didn't have any problems
with knowing they were going to

!hem they were going to get more
hances because of that fact. I saw
y all can play the game."
The Raider' defense had forced

downs from his team.
"We had one breakdown. We
didn'twrapthemanandthenithought
that after that we played well," he
said. "I think conditioning played a
big part in the game. We played some
fresh kids at the end and Pike Central
had some kids that looked tired. Our
kids went after them a little bitharder."
Earlier in the game Daniels wanted
to show his conftdence in his team
when they were faced with a f9urtband-two situation that failed.
"At the time I felt comfortable
with our offense in picking up those
2 yards," he explained. "Wejustdidn' t
make the right blocks, but the kid
tripped. If he hadn't tripped, I think
we would have made it.
"Om defense after the flrst two
series played great. We were real
timid at flrst. They weren't making
the reads like they should. Then after
that they saw what the reads were and
started adjusting to them and I thought
they did real well."
Another "angel on the gridiron"
was Heath Hall, the smallest on the
field. He took the football on a fourth
down play and scampered 34 yards
that set up the Raiders' flrst score.
"Heath is the forgotten 'angel' in
this crowd for the last two seasons,"
said Daniels. "He's had to play behind some good backs and didn't get
a lot of chances at the varsity level.
"He's alternating in and out at the
wing back position and he's made the
most of the opportunities. He has
good hands, and if we can fmd him
we're going to give him the ball a
little bit on the passing end of it."
Coach Daniels said that the screen
pass thrown to Mullins for three
completions, was designed for the
receiver to use his athletic ability.
"It's something we have been
working on withhim,"hesaid. ''We're
trying to use his athletic ability. He
has a lot of raw talent, so we put the
play in this year for him."
fense held the Hawks and they

While it was just a practice game,
Daniels said that practice will go much
better with the win.
"I still treat it as just a practice
game," he said, "but I'm happy for

Duck hunters, get set for one of
the best seasons in the last 20 years.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, this year's duck population is a national record for three
species. Canvasbacks were up 47
percent, redheads rose 36 percent and
gadwalls were up 22 percent. Breeding mallard populations are the highestsince 1972andhavesurpassedth'e
8.1 million goal set by the North
American Waterfowl Management
Plan.
Kentucky is part of the nationwide boom. Rocky Pritchard, biologistfor Kentucky Department ofFish
and Wildlife Resources (KDFWR),
agrees that this is the state's best
population since the 1970s.
What's the cause for the eruption
of the duck population? Constant efforts from corporations and private
landowners, along with the Conservation Reserve Program, deserve a
lot of credit. Mother nature can also
get a thank you, says Pritchard. "The
habitat has been there for the last 10
years, but this is the ftrst year for
really good water," stated Pritchard.
The rise in population isn't just in
ducks. The Canada goose numbers
are soaring. According to the
KDFWR, there are approximately
17,000 resident geese in Kentucky.
That is only part of the good news.
The population is spreading to all
parts of the state.
Get ready for a great hunting season!

All true of course, but not com• plete. There are more poignant rea• sons why Mantle, an old ball player,
plugged into our lives the last few
: months and got a considerable chWlk
of a nation's attention.
First, baseball cards. Mantle's arrival in the Big Leagues coincided
with the surging popularity of such
.. things. Andsoonafterhis1951debut
the cards came in color. Baseball
cards (and television) showed us a

ballplayer who could run fast and hit

perfect a king for his venue and time
as Elvis Presley was for his.
Last week Mantle's rookie card

On another level here in America

•forgive him for his self-destructive
and loutish behavior during and after
:his playing days. His sincerity and
..honesty in these bewildering times
•enthralled us.
: In 1963 there was kid living in

:his money one summer for a trip to

Mantle's innocence came shining out
one last time. A flawed man, made
old by disease and hard living, he
seemed tranquil, yet almost desperate to show us what the price of

READERS (RIGHT) WRITE
A letter came on an item here
about David Roselle's clean-up of
UK' s basketball program five years
ago.
Kenn Johhnson, Mt Sterling: "Is
it possible you (and many others in
the sports media) have been taken in
by David Roselle? The perfectcoverup in the one nobody realizes is a
cover-up. Mr. Roselle conducted an
in-house investigation and at the end
announced .....nothing. His investi·
gation uncovered not one shred of
new evidence. He merely admitted
guilt to whatever the NCAA had al·
ready uncovered. Smart move. The
NCAA investigation stopped at that
point. Had he attempted to fight the
NCAA allegations, the NCAA would
have to continue to investigate. I wish
it had. I wish somebody -- maybe
somebody in the press •• would have
found out more, expecially who was
responsible for ruining Eric Manuel's
life. Quite possibly Roselle admitted
the 10 percent of the i~berg to hide
the other 90 percent."
COMMENT: Roselle did the right
thing. And many powerful people in
and out of UK' s athletic department
breathed a sigh of relief when the
NCAA made its ruling and went
home. Still an intrigue, while I, and
others, have asked him, Manuel has
declined (so far) to publically speak
about the sordid details ofbeingmade
a scapegoat Apparently no agent or
attorney have persuaded him of the
profitability of a book. Yet.

Rebels
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < C o n t i n u e d f r o m B 1)
Hornets. They gained zero yardage
in the second half on just three carries
while rushing for only 7 yards in the
flfSthalf.
The Rebels passing game was a
bright spot as Coleman passed for
179 yards. One of those passes was a
1D strike to wide out Thomas Jenkins in the first half to make it a 20-6
game. The play covered 70 yards.
"That's pretty good for the ftrst
time out," said Coach Reeves about
the 179 yards Coleman passed for.
"This was our first contact this year.
This was our first scrimmage. And
this will probably be it until we face
Elkhorn City (opening night)."
Coach Caba said that be bad
warned his team about the long passing.
"We told the players that we expected to give up one 1D deep this
week and that happened," be said.
Magoffin CoWlty was moving nine
and ten players to the line of defense,
just the way the Magoffm County
coaching staff designed it.
"Our big concern was we were
lacking in defense the last two seasons," explained Coach Caba. "So
we decided to be more aggressive on
defense as we were on offense. Bring
nine or 10 players on the line every
time, get after somebody, and if they
beat us on a touchdown pass that is
going to happen. We'll just have to
work a little harder at the pass rush."
"We didn't run the ball because
we couldn't." said Coach Reeves.
"They had a nine-man line and they
blitzed our inside and our boys dido•t
pick that up."
Allen Central fumbled for the
fourth time with just over eight minutes left in the fust 15 minute half.
Magoffm County's Tony Cole made
the recovery and scampered in from
16-yards out for a 26-6 game.
The Rebels put their second score
on the board when Beau Tackett took
a Coleman handoff and ran 70 yards
for the touchdown and a 26-12 game.
Allen Central's defense made a
good stand, forcing the Hornets deep
into their own territory until Caba
found Wages for a 28-yard pick up
and a flfSt down. Caba cmmected
with Jason Robinette for a 22-yard
touchdown pass and a 33-12 score.
The Hornets would score again
justbeforehalftime to lead40-12. On
a third down play, Caba hit Greg
Ward with a pass and Caba added the
PAT.
Allen Central put together a good
drive after it appeared they were over
the jitters. Coleman, fmding no boles
for his backfield to run through, went
to the air and cmmected with Jenldns
as be tried to score before the half
ended. But the drive ended when
Wages stepped in front of Jenkins for
an interception.
The Allen Central coach said there
were other formations that his team
will run but didn't think it would be
advisable to show it in the game.
"We've always got a passing
game,"besaid. "Wecouldhavecome
out throwing against them, but that
wasn't our intent Our intent was to
seeifwecouldrun the football. We've
got a film of this and we'll know
where we need to work.
"We allowed their defense to score
three times because of fumbles and
bad quarterback and halfback exchanges. You expect that early in the
season. We have two weeks before
the season starts. I hope they look
over us and say, 'Don't worry about
Allen Central."'
Allen Central completed their
scoring in the second half when
Tackett ran 74 yards for the touchdown for a 47-18 game. Magoffm
County got the last score on a 19-yard
touchdown p ss from Caba to
Robinette to wm 54-18.
What were some good aspects he
saw from the scrimmage game?
"I saw some good running from
our backs when they did run," said
Coach Reeves. ''On defense, I'd say
our right comer, Craig Crace, played
a beck of a game there defensively.
He knocked some balls down and
disengaged some from the receivers
and really played a good corner for
us."
The Rebels put together a good
goal line stand in the second half and
tbatwasapositivethatCoachReeves
spotted.
''That was encouraging too," he
said.
The Hornets, with the help of an
Allen Central penalty, moved the football inside the Rebels' 10-yard line
only to be sullied out. The Rebels
took over the football on downs.
"That was a good stand for us,"
said the Rebel coach. "We're at the
stage where you have to crank it up."
Offensively, thewboleconceptof
the Hornets' offense is based on the
shotgun attack. With a quarterback
like Caba, it is easy to see why.
"Offensively, we were hitting
good for the ftrst scrimmage," said
Coach Caba. "We're still not where
we want to be on the offensive line.
We're weak at center because we
have a new center. We haven't been
happy with our right tackle slot. But
we've got three players there that
have been rotating in. Eventually we
will find a right tackle. Once we get
those things worked out, we think we
are capable of scoring on any play we
run."
Allep Central travels to Elkhorn
City for their first game of the season
onAugust25. Magoffin County opens
at South Floyd on August 25.

The returning halfback said that
the team will be quicker off the ball
and have better speed than last year.
"Overall, we're a better team than
last year," he said.
Tackett. who is to be the Rebels'
feature back, realizes the opposition
will have his number 34 in sight.
"Yeah, especially when we run
out of our swing series," he said,
"when we pass the shon routes like
we did against Pikeville last year and
toward the latter part of the season.
But we're going to run the ball more
this year."
Tackett gave a break down of the
Rebels' team this season:
• Quarterback Adam Coleman:
"He had surgery in the offseason and
that set him bock a little bit. He's
coming in strong at practice and
throwing the ball pretty good."
• Josh Reeves: "He has been worlcing some at the quarterback spot, as
well. He is quick and will run out of
the backfield."
• Gordon Reeves: "He is swift. He
has hit the weights pretty hard this
summer, especially squatting. It has
helped his speed a lot."
• Matt Varney: "He bas good
quickness. Like most of our backs, if
he gets past the second level (linebackers), it will be hard to stop him."
• Thomas Jenkins: "He's got good
hands and very good speed. He's tall
and, if you just throw the ball up
there, and he can get it"
• Defensive and offensive lines:
"Both of our defensive and offensive
lines have come a long way. Levi
(Wells), he's mean. We have Mark
Varney at center on the offensive
line. He's worlcedreal hard there. But
everbody has worked hard. Our offensivelinebas techniquenow,something we didn'thave last year. There
were a lot of things we didn't have
last year."
Tackett himself possesses Godgiven speed and quickness that will
allow him to get outside and down
the sidelines. Tackett said that the
Rebels will be looking to go outside
this year.
"That was our bread and butter
last year," be said. "But we've got
some different series of plays to put
in. If the blocking scheme is worlcing, there should be some good holes
opening up. Just bit 'em hard and
hope for the best."
Asked to describe the attitude of
the Rebel team, he said:
"We believe! We believe!"

their future.
Many drivers will tell you that the
start of the season is the most vital
part. But a majority will say that the
home-stretch is equally important.
For it is during this time when deals
are made. Drivers are hired, drivers
are ftred. It is now when some of the
less-notable drivers are feeling the
pressures of securing a ride for the
'96 season. Rides will be lost, rides
will be signed.
Yes, the sun is sitting on the '95
season. Four drivers have the luxury
HOMESTRETCH
VITAL TO ALL
The 1995NASCAR Winston Cup
season is heading down the stretch.
Twenty races have come and gone,
and now only eleven events remain.
Maybe it's because I'm getting older,
but it seems as though time just literally flies by now. It seems only yesterday when we watched Sterling
Marlin win his second consecutive
Daytona 500.
We now find omselves in the dog
days of August and soon the leaves
twill dawn their fall colors and the
motors will grow silent on the Winston Cup circuit. Kind of depressing
for us die-hards, don't you think?
A little more than a week ago, the
NASCAR Winston Cup Serieskicked
off a non-stop 10 race swing that
started with the Brickyard 400. With
the Bud at the Glen in the history
books, the we circuit will now reel
off eight consecutive events before
taking .a break following the UAWGM Quality 500 at Charlotte on October 8.
For the race fan, it's great to know
J. that we have the fortune of eight
straight weeks of racing. But for the
drivers and their teams, it's just a
little more important It's crunch time!
For all practical pwposes, the 1995
Winston Cup championship will be
decided among four drivers at the
most Jeff Gordon now enjoys his
largest point lead. However, Sterling
Marlin, Mark Martin, and Dale
Earnhardt are still very much in the
hunt
But these four drivers make up
nly a small fraction of the drivers
that regularly compete on the we
tour. What about the rest? What are
they shooting for? The likes of Ted
Musgrave, Rusty Wallace, Terry
Labonte, and Bill Elliott are fighting
to keep their spots among the series
top-ten point leaders that will walk
upon stage at the Waldorf-Astoria to
collect their hefty bonuses and get
the chance to give their sponsors one
last plug before we ring in the new
year.
,.
But there are more. What about
drivers a few rungs down the points
ladder? What's left in it for them?
Money? Pride? Or more importantly,
a career?
For a large number of the drivers,
the final stages of the season will
serve as a last ditch effort to insure a
sponsorfortheupcoming '96season.
Several Winston Cup drivers have
already gotten word that their sponsorships will be dropped in '96. Ward
Burton, Jimmy Spencer, Jeff Burton
and Dick Trickle are just a few included in those who are in the market
for sponsorships for next year. Be4ieve me folks, the final races are just
as important to them as they are for
the Earnhardts and the Gordons of
the sport.
Simply put, although there are 11
races remaining, many we drivers
are racing for '96. They are racing for
er
Dr. Timothy R.
NASCAR Connection
of gunning for the championship.
Eight or more drivers are ftghting for
a top-ten spot. And a whole list of
drivers are shooting foraridefornext
season.
This, my friends, is a tension-ftlled
point in the season. And while you
are kicked back in your recliner with
a bag ofpork skins and a Coke watching the greatest sport in the world,
just remember, many of those you are
watching are in a fight for their racing
livelihood. It will be very interesting
to say the least.

Or, since nobody wants to come up with a new

wouldn't tune in expecting to hear a hillbilly song.

I heard an interesting theory about that
Today's Nashville acts (although they're not
country) are geared for the younger generation, and
young girlfriends and wives won't go see these pretty girl singers and really cut a shine if their
boyfriends and husbands do.
On the other hand, the girlfriends and wives just
love the likes of Travis Tritt, Little Texas and Tracy
Lawrence, so they insist that their boyfriends and
husbands take them to the shows.
The result is two-fold: relationships are saved and
more tickets are sold.
I guess it's pretty obvious, then, that our apple

Monument dedicated for soldier Simon
Auxier during Auxier family reunion
During the July 1-4 Auxier family
reunion held in Paintsville, John Graham
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution of Prestonsburg, and Harman
• Station Chapter of Paintsville, assisted by
Big Sandy Chapter, Sons of the American
Revolution, and the Auxier Historical
Society of Auxier, dedicated a monument
for Revolutionary War soldier Simon Auxier
(1751-1826) at Auxier on July 3. About 300
people attended the dedication.
Past Kentucky State SAR president and
national SAR Trustee Ray Brackett of Allen
summarized the history of Simon, who was
~ born in 1751 in Pennsylvania.
He died ca 1826 in Floyd County. During
the war, Simon had served in the battle of
Trenton, Battle of Brandywine, Valley
Forge, Battle of Monmouth, General George
Rogers Clark's Illinois campaign, Battle of
By 1822, he lived in Lawrence County
and married Elizabeth Fugate there on July
30, 1824. The pioneer had two sons,
Thomas and Christopher, by his first wife,
whose name is unknown. His sons lived in
Lawrence County, but Simon and Elizabeth
returned to Floyd County. Years after
Simon's death, Elizabeth married Captain
William Haney. The couple are buried at
Georges Creek in Lawrence County.
Brackett also told the gathering that
Douglas Auxier Galbreath, now in a nursing
home in Prestonsburg, had shown Simon's
grave to Frances Brackett in 1993. In
August 1994, Frances., Bobby Wells, and
Ursal Ray Wilcox completed the paperwork
needed to have the monument placed at the
soldier's gravesite at Auxier. Ray Brackett
gave his late son, Stephen R. Preston
Brackett, and Dr. Dave Auxier of
Tennessee, credit for the history about
Simon.
During the dedication, John Graham

The whiskered Green Allen Brooks was nervous as
he stood trial for the murder of Lee County Deputy J.
F. "Arch" Redmond in Jonesville, Virgin~ on
September 22, 1937. He planned to take the stand and
was showing signs of strain and worry.
The 82-year-old Brooks grew a 12-inch beard during
the two years be evaded the law in and around
Lubbock, Texas, following the murder of Redmond and
fellow deputy Bob Bailey. Two months earlier, during
the summer of 1937, Brooks was acquitted of Bailey's
murder. On that occasion he swayed the jury and the
large crowd with his testimony.
But at the close of the preceding day Brooks' neighbor Richard Sproles, who lived only 200 yards away at
the time, gave damaging testimony against the tired
man.
"I saw the whole thing," Sproles said matter of factly. "I saw Redmond and Bailey going up toward the
house. Bailey bad his hand in a sling. It looked new
and white. In a little while I saw the two of them enter
into the barnyard. I heard them yell something and then
there were several shots."
The officers went to the Brooks farm to arrest the
aged man's son-in-law, Luther Poore, who was wanted
on a Kentucky warrant Poore was cutting wood near
the barn before the officers bel!an chasinl! him.
''They yelled out for Luther to surrender and then
ftred several warning shots," Sproles said upon questioning. "I know they were warning shots because the
officers were only twenty five or thirty feet away. If
they were firing at Luther he would be dead or seriously wounded. I saw them bringing Luther back down
and Bailey stopped. I thought it was strange but he took
the shells out of his goo.
"I thought it was all over so I went in the bouse but
then I heard a rifle shot and then another one. I ran
back outside and then toward the Brooks home."
Sproles explained that he found the deputies along
the way--{}ead.
"Bailey was down the hill about fifty feet," he
recalled. "Redmond was laying under an oak tree."
Upon questioning Sproles said Bailey's revolver was
lying up the hill without any shells.
"Arch's gun was still in his holster," Sproles said.
''Fully loaded. Not one shot was flred."
The prosecutors asked Sproles about his neighbor
and the layout of the Brooks farm.
"rve known Allen Brooks for fifteen years, I
guess," he said. "But he's never had a beard in all that
time. He's always, always, had a clean shave and
always wore good, clean, clothes. As for that property I
know it as well as the back of my hand I used to own
that farm."
Another neighbor, Hubert Williams, also gave damaging testimony against Brooks.
"Bailey was shot as be walked down the hill,"
Williams said. "I saw it all plain as day. Allen yelled
out for Bailey to drop his gun. But the gun was empty.
Then he shot Arch. Arch's gun was never out of the
bolster. Maybe Allen didn't know Bob's gun was empty
but Arch didn't even take his gun out of the bolster."
The defense questioned Williams' testimony saying
that the scene of the killing wasn't clearly visible from
his residence.
The prosecution called Lee County Deputy J. S.
Doyle and Sheriff Robert F. Giles who testified that
they found the home and walkway to the road clearly
visible when they went to the Williams home on the
day of the shooting.
Lee County Deputy Robert Ball was the first officer
at the scene following the shootings. He testified that
he found where Bailey had emptied his shells. He said
Redmond's gun was still holstered.
Sheriff Giles recalled his search for Brooks in the
hours and days following the murders. He also
explained how be eventually arrested the defendant in
Lubbock, Texas, where Brooks was known as Rev.
John H. Jones.
,
The defense decided to have Green Allen's son-inlaw, Luther Poore, take the stand before the aged man.
Poore said be didn't know there was an outstanding
warrant against him and said he was wounded when a
bullet ricocheted off his knee.
" didn't tell anyone about my knee at the time or
later at the jail because my lawyer told me not to tell
anybody nothing," Luther said. "He told me not to
talk."
Upon questioning by the prosecution Luther said he
didn't know where the pants "with the bullet hole"
were that he had worn on the day of the shooting. He
gave additional testimony about the day the two officers were killed.
"Bailey and Redmond jerked and dragged me down
the hill cussing me nearly every stop of the way," be
said. "Bea (Luther's wife Beatrice) ran out to see me.
They didn't like it and threatened her and then swung
at Green Allen. They ordered them back in the house.

ARE YOU LOSING
FAT OR MUSCLE?
If you are trying to lose weight,
what counts is not only bow many
poWlds you takeoff, but what kind of
body tissue is lost. The goal should be
to shed fat while sparing important
lean body mass, such as muscle, organ tissue, and bone. Losing nonfat
tissue is a problem in very low-caloric diets.
Losing muscle mass may cause
your resting metabolism to decrease.
A loss of one pound of muscle may
decrease yourresting metabolism by
up to 100 calories a day. This would
mean a weight gain of one pound in
35 days when you return to your
normal eating pattern. Mostly dieters
would lose more muscle since fifty
percent of the weight loss is from
muscle when dieting alone is used.
Research bas shown that a proper
low caloric diet of at least 1,200 calories combined with exercise, can
maintain lean body mass while increasing the burning of fat. To cooserve lean body mass while dieting,
it's also vital to maintain an adequate
intake of protein as you eliminate fat
and carbohydrates. Four ounces of
flsb or lean meat and two glasses of
skim milk will supply all the protein
an average woman will need.
Twelve hundred calories a day
will conserve lean body mass while it
burns fat, provided it meets the RDA
for protein and is accompanied by
regular exercise. Fasting or severely
restricted diets may not accomplish
the same results; they may also be
dangerous and should be undertaken
only with strict medical supervision
and only for limited periods. Unsupervised weight loss should not exceed two pounds per week.
Tip of the Week: The chance of
dying immediately after a heart attack is three times greater in physically inactive people than in active
people.

Bee sting allergy! Are you
getting proper physicians advice?
You are one of 4 million Americans with a known allergy to bee
stings. You've just been attacked by
yellow jackets in your back yard and
your having trouble breathing. By
the time you arrive at the emergency
department, you've lost consciousness and are in cardiac arrest A highly
skilled medical staff works frantically to save your life and succeeds.
The next day, you're discharged and
senton your way, safe and sound-or
are you?
According to an article published
in the April issue of the Journal of
Emergency Medicine, a substantial
number of emergency physicians are
not providing appropriate aftercare
instructions ·to their patients. As a
result, insectsting-allergic people live
with a 60 percent chance of having an
allergic reaction to their next sting.
The study by McDougle, M .D . et
al suggests that aftercare instructions
for all patients who have experienced
a serious allergic reaction to an insect
sting should include: a referral to an
allergisl for testing and possible immunotherapy, written avoidance instructions, and a prescription for an
epinephrine injection device for initial self-treatment.
McDougle also recommends furthereducational efforts aimed toward
increasing the awareness of patients
and physicians alike concerning the
implications of insect sting allergy
and the value of proper preventive
measures.
For anyone interested in learning
more about allergic reactions to insect stings, a free brochure is available by calling 1-800-23-STING.

Kelley, Webbexcl)angevows
On July 1, Belinda Ann Kelley,
daughter of Ted and Margie Kelley

son of Grace and the late Dewey Lee
Webb of Fort Gay, West Virginia,
exchanged wedding vows at the
Louisa Freewill Baptist Church. The
double-ring ceremony was performed
by Dr. James A. Hayes, pastor of the
church.
The bride wore a fitted mermaidstyle gown of white satin with poetillusion netted sleeves and embroidered lace, with lace and pearl drop
appliques. The train was edged in
embroidered lace and scattered pearl
appliqoos. The veil was pencil-edged,
adorned with appliquts and a folded
pouf. She carried a cascade bouquet
of pastel pink and white roses accented by iridescent ribbon. The
groom met his bride dressed in a gray
tuxedo tailcoat, worn with a white
bow tie and white vest.
Karla Dean and Karin Tuttle, of
McDowell and cousins of the bride,
served as matrons of honor. Bridesmaids were Lisa Fluty of Fort Gay,
and Missy O'paniel of Louisa, both
sistersofthe groom. Leigh Ann Tuttle,

served as junior bridesmaid. They
wore tea-length gowns in pastel pink.

from the porch and Bailey raised
his gun and aimed. Green Allen
then said, 'drop that gun, drop that
gun.' Then the shots were fired. He
had to shoot or he would have been
killed."
Bonnie Brooks, 17-year-old
daughter of Green Allen Brooks,
was called to the stand. She refused
to answer fourteen questions during
cross-examination. Judge Carter

as ringbearer.
The ceremony was highlighted by
the groom singing "Walk Through

wife. What we know about his movements, slender as it is, comes from
Unioncorrespondence.InJune,1862,
Colonel Cranor's 40th Ohio Infantry
was stationed at Prestonsburg. In July
Cranor broke camp and marched his
men to Louisa. Early in August General Boyle at Louisville received intelligence that the notorious rebel
chieftain, Jack May, was visiting relatives in Floyd County. When Boyle
relayed this rumor to Cranor, hereplied:
Jack May has never been at home
to my knowledge since I have had
command in this valley. I was informed that he had come home or to
his mother-in-law's near Prestonsburg while we were stationed there. I
sent out a scouting party in the night
to effect his arrest, but was disap·
pointed, as my informant was mistaken.
At Boyle's headquarters in Louisville, Jack May was a name to conjure. On August 26th, a Union sympathizer in Catlettsburg wrote to
Boyle and relayed information that
he had picked up from William
Damron, "ascoutfromPikeCounty."
Captured by Jack's regiment the previous Spring, Damron had spent several months at their camp near
Jeffersonville before being paroled.
While he was there, he bad overheard
Jack and his fellow officers talking
about their fall offensive. His understanding was that Marshall's troops
would invade Kentucky by way of
Pound Gap on August 26th. Meanwhile, in a coordinated attack, Jack
May's 5th Kentucky would come
down the left fork of the Sandy and
"overrun the entire valley to the
mouth."
Damron was right about Jack's
route to Kentucky, but wrong about
the date of his departure. Records
show that he left Jeffersonville on
August 2nd, along with seven companies of his regiment Several days
before, Marshall had given him one

the regiment and began recruiting
one of his own, notwithstanding the
fact that he lacked the authority to do
so. Theareahecanvassedforrecruits
was the Elkhorn Creek watershed
along the Virginia-Kentucky border.
According to Randall Osborne's
The Virginia State Rangers and State
Line (Lynchburg, 1994), the scanty
population along Elkhorn Creek prevented Menifee from raising a full
regiment, but he did succeed in creating "a close-knit band of self-styled
Confederate cavalrymen." Lacking
the support of Secretary of War
Randolph, whoconsideredhimaperson of no importance, Menifee was
obliged to arm and equip his men at
his own expense. He raised money
for this purpose by stealing cattle in
Pike County, driving them to Virginia, and selling them at the stockyards bordering the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad. When Union men were
impudent enough to defend their property, he murdered them.
Lacking respect for Marshall,
Menifee refused to attach his poorlytrained crew to Marshall's command.
No other option presented itself to
him until the Summer of 1862, when
General John B. Floyd arrived in
Abb' s Valley, not far from Elkhorn
Creek, and began raising a regiment
of cavalry. Although Floyd had a big
blot on his record-his cowardly,
last-minute escape from Fort
Donelson, he nevertheless was known
to be a fighting general. Therefore,
when Floyd's recruiters visited
Menifee's camp on Elkhorn Creek,
he and his men leaped at the chance to
join Floyd's new unit, the oddlynamed Virginia State Line. Shortly
after this, Menifee staged his raid on

How summer heat hurts your car
Hot summer temperatures can be
just as brutal on a poorly maintained
automobile ac; the most chilling winter weather, AAA Blue Grass/Kentucky cautions motorists.
When the temperatures rise above
90 degrees, trouble often begins.
Vehicles with .weak batteries may
have difficulty starting, air conditioning systems can faii and poorly
maintained cooling systems overheat.
Heat takes its toll in several ways.
Most engines operate at about 200
degrees Fahrenheit. In traffic, the temperature under the hood rises quickly.
Additional heat comes from the air
conditioner and the automatic transmission. The cooling system has to
work twice as hard to carry heat away
from the engine. When the engine is
off, all components continue to heat
up before they cool.
During this "beat soak," engine
Harmon, Gray to wed
Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Shannon of Preatonaburg, announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Katie Jo Harmon, to Shawn C. Gray, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Roy C. Gray of Richmond. The wedding will be held

The custom of an open church will be observed. A reception will be held
at the Holiday Inn.
components expand and increase friction between moving parts, making
them harder to tum. Due to this increased resistance, batteries already
weak from high temperatures could
fail to start the car.
Heat makes tires we:!£ out faster.
Underinflated tires generate excessiveheat, which can cause blowouts.
Heat can damage your car's interior. When your car is parked in the
sun, the temperature inside can reach
nearly 200 degrees. Intense heat vaporizes someofthevinylon the dashboard, seats and paneling. (You'll
notice a grayish film on the inside of
your windshield). Be sure to clean
the inside of your windshield when
you wash the car.
To avoid roadside breakdowns
during hot weather, AAA recommends the following precautions:
• Have the battery tested and replaced, if necessary
• Inspect the antifreeze/coolant
level, making certain a 50/50 mixture
of water and coolant is present
• Inspect and replace worn or
cracked belts as well as blistered or
soft hoses
• Check the air conditioning system for leaks and service if necessary
• Change the oil every 3,000miles.
Oil breaks down faster at high temperatures.

Children of alcohol and drug abusers at risk
In families wheretheparentsabuse
alcohol or drugs, there is a substantial
risk the children will be neglected or
abused. said Peggy Wallace, commissioner of the state's Department
of Social Services.
In FY '94, substance abuse was
found to be a factor in almost 40
percent of cases where legal action
was taken and the child was removed
from the home, in 30 percent of substantiated child neglect cases and 26
percent of all child abuse cases substantiated by DSS.
National studies and surveys of
DSS workers indicate the actual percentage is even higher, closer to 50
percent of all child abuse cases, said
Joel Griffith, DSS child protective
services specialist. ''The disease of
chemical dependency is so laden with
guilt and shame, it is under-reported,"
he said~
Mike Townsend, director of the
Division of Substance Abuse in
Kentucky's Department of Mental
Health, said a parent may not voluntarily admit to a drinking problem or
drug use for fear of losing the children.
Also, there's a reluctance toquestion someone about substance use,
especially alcohol, be said. "Though
alcohol accounts for 85 percent of all
substance abuse treatment, it's legal
and socially acceptable, so its use in
a person's own home may be seen as
real personal."
Griffith said he wants to emphasize that substance abuse does not
directly cause child abuse and that
notal! families who abuse substances
will abuse their children. "But, he
said, "it is a significant factor that
needs to be considered."
Townsend said, '~Anywhere
there's a suspicion of child abuse, we
should look for substance abuse."
He defmed substance abuse as any
use of alcohol or drugs that interferes
with the user's life, causing legal,
fmancial or employment problems or
creating problems at home or socially. Even more serious problems
develop with dependence on the substance, where any attempt to quit or
cut back results in withdrawal symptoms, be added.
Crystal Collins, also a child protective services specialist with DSS,
said parents who are substance abusers may neglect their children's basic
economic needs and nurturing and
fail to use appropriate discipline.
Adult responsibilities, such as the
care of younger children and even the
care of the parent incapacitated by
drugs or alcohol, may be forced on
children who lack the maturity to
assume them, she said. Housekeeping may be left to young children,
resulting in unsafe and unsanitary
living conditions.
Townsend said the heavy psychological and financial burdens substance abuse places on families frequently result in spouse abuse and
child abuse, and often lead to the
break-up of the family. The financial
burden on the family budget may
mean the funds for such basics as
food are used for alcohol or drugs.
Children raised in alcoholic families miss more school and exhibit
more emotional problems and physical ailments and serious injuries than
children from non-alcoholic homes.
Townsend said their problems also
includeaggressivebebaviorandother
conduct problems and they may be·
come alcoholics themselves.
At least one child in 10 in this
country is born into a chemically
dependent family, he said, and more
than one-third of all separated and
divorced women were once married
to a problem drinker or alcoholic.
Nearly one-fifth of all adults say they
lived with a problem drinker or alcoholic as a child.
Townsend said no population
group is immune to substance abuse,
which affects both men and women
of all age, racial and ethnic groups
and educational levels, but different
groups use different substances.
"A person can get into substance
abuse innocently," he said. "For example, with prescription drug abuse
the problem can start with treatment
for a legitimate medical problem.
"Men are still more likely than
women to become problem drinkers,
but the problem is increasing with
women, whomayhideitbetter;drinking at home alone." He added that
medical research indicates the top 10
percent of heavy drinkers consume
more than half of the alcohol used in
this country.
Those who use illegal drugs, such

population but most are also in their
child-bearing years and their ability
to care for children is compromised,
Townsend said.
He said substance abuse requires
specialized treatment and anyone who
wants help for the problem should
ask their family doctor or health care
facility to recommend a qualified
chemical dependency treatment counselor.
Support is offered through such
self-help groups as Alcoholics
Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous and treatmentorreferral is also
available at 14 state-operated community mental health facilities.
Townsend said all the state MH facilities keep a directory of private
practitioners and also provide help
themselves on both an out-patient
and residential basis.

It is hoped substance abuse treatment may.be combined with spouse
abuse shelters in the future, Townsend
said, because victims ofspouse abuse
may frequently turn to alcohol or
drugs· to cope with their situation.
Townsend emphasized that sub·
stance abuse is treatable and said it's
especially important that substance
abusers who are parents get help.
"All parents are models for their
children," be said. "When parents
use alcohol or drugs, they not only
place the children at risk of being
abused or neglected, but the children
are more likely to become substance
abusers themselves."
Collins and Griffith added that
appropriate help can protect children
and may keep a family from breaking
apart.

The Bermuda Triangle is said to
swallow ships. U.S. dollars seem to
fmd a similar fate in the Pacific.
America's trade deficit with Japan
and the rest of Asia has ballooned in
recent years, increasing to a cumulative total of almost $1 trillion from
1985 to 1994. That could have important implications for currency
markets in the period ahead. Because
• the dollar is carrying the burden of
the combined trade deficits of Japan
and Asia, the U.S. probably would
bave to address its trade deficits with
both regions before the U.S. currency
could stage a sustained rally.
Most Asian countries have been
running trade deficits with Japan for
many years. The combined deficits
of 10 major Asian economies with
Japan increased from about $16 billion in 1985 to $80 billion in 1994.
During the same period, Japan's cumulative trade surplus vs. the same
countries (Singapore, Korea, Hong
· Kong, Taiwan, China, Indonesia,
Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand,
•and India) was about $390 billion.
Also during that period, Asian
countties offset their trade deficits
with Japan by running surpluses
against the United States. The combinedsurplusesofthe lOAsiancolDltries with America increased from
about$25 billion in 1985 to some $60
billion in 1994; on a cumUlative ba-
sis, the figure was roughly $375 billion.Meanwhile,Japan'sannualtrade
surpluses against the U.S. continued.
They totaled about $550 billion from
1985 to 1994.
With Asian countries using their
U.S. surpluses to finance their deficits with Japan, the effective measure
of America's trade deficit with Japan
actually is its combined deficit with
Japan and Asia. That figure is roughly
$950 billion for the 1985-94 period.
That huge sum clearly places a
burden on the yen/dollar exchange
rate-one that is made heavier by the
fact that many Asian currencies are
pegged to the U.S. dollar. Consequently, for the dollar to mount a
sustained rally against the yen, the
U.S. would probably need to address
not only its trade deficit with Japan,
but also its deficit with the rest of
Asia That might require a substantial revaluation of some Asian currencies, particularly those of nations
with large trade surpluses with the
U.S.- such as China, Hong Kong,
and Taiwan. Thecurrencyregimesof
countries with surpluSes against both
America and Japan might also come
under scrutiny as policymakers are
forced to choose between a strong
currency and higher interest rates to
contain domestic inflation. Indonesia could be in that category, in our
view.

Rogers says national parks safe; House
approves funds for Kentucky's parks
U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers
• (KY-5) said recently funding for
Kentucky's National Parks will be
safe. Cumberland Gap National Park,
Big South Fork National Recreation
Area, Mammoth Cave National Park,
and the Abraham Lincoln National
Historical Site will each receive a
slight increase in funding.
Recently, the House approved the
FY 1996 Appropriations for the Interior Department and related agencies, 244-181. The funding bill will
now be considered by the U.S. Senate.
Last month, the House Appropriations Subconunittee on Interior ap~ proved nearly $1.1 billion for national parks nationwide, a one-percent increase for operating expenses
for all national parks over last year.
An additional $1 million was added
by the House Appropriations Committee.
Recently, President Clinton's Secretary oflnterior, Bruce Babbitt, said
a plan to balance the budget would
eliminate or cut funding for national
parks around the United States.
Babbiu's list included the Kentucky
National Parks.
Rogers, a senior member of the
House Appropriations Committee,
spoke with members of the Interior
panel, urging them to fully support
Kentucky's National Parks.
"National parks are an important
part of our heritage," Rogers said.
"Obviously, it is absurd to think that
our national parks would be on
anyone's hit list. These parks not
only tell our history, they promote
tourism and provide thousands ofjobs
for our communities."

Sucshfne

by
Beverly
Carroll
Senior citizens, you will recall that
last week I wrote urging people to
volunteer on behalf of senior citizens
through the Kentucky Benefits Counseling Program. I urged people from
18 to 88 to call and request a free
application. Guess how many responses I got. One.
This week, I didn't hear either of
the chief receptionists say things like,
"What in the world did you write
about in your column? You're getting so many phone calls." Usually
every Wednesday afternoon and during the day Thursday, following publication of this paper, I hear similar
remarlcs. Sunshine Lines is read faithfully by many, and many people call
in response to the articles. But last
week when I issued an SOS on behalf
of our beloved senior citizens in Eastem Kentucky, the phones were quiet.
Why?
Volunteerism is big business in
the United States. The Gallup Organization did a study on the number of
people who volunteer in America.
The results of that poll was mindboggling. That study indicated that
over half of all Americans volunteer
forsomecausein one way or another.
These volunteers were of all ages
from little seven-year-old Brownies
baking cookies for shut-ins, to superstars who normally command millions of dollars for a performance but
perform free at concerts to raise
money for causes they believe in.
In fact, it was determined by the
Gallup people that volunteers, and
the time they spend in free service to
their chosen cause is equivalent to
ninemillionfull-timeemployees who
donate time valued in excess of $170
billion dollars annually.
Volunteerism in America is so big
today and so vital to the American
system that the federal government
passed a House Concurrent Resolution in 1988 to urge federal, state, and
private enterprise to take volunteer
experience into accoWlt when screening prospective employees. Many
jobs today consider life experiences,
through active volunteerism, a big
plus for candidates who apply for
jobs. Even colleges and universities
consider life experiences when helping students plan their class curricula.
And modern work applications for
federal jobs include spa~ for listing
volunteer activities.
Why is volunteerism so important? What is there to gain from working without pay? The biggest reward
is that the volunteer's life is changed
for the better. His or her social and
educational horizons are broadened.
Volunteerism is a form of networking that has opened doors to bigger
and betterjob opportWlities for countless people. And most importantly,
beyond the enrichment of the
volunteer's life, other lives have been
enric~ed through the volunteer's dedi-
The Floyd County Times
cation, and goals have been achieved
through the volunteer's effort. The
famous author, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, once wrote, "A mind that is
stretched by a new experience can
never go back to its old dimension."
Think about that. Do you want to
stretch to new heights, or do you want
to stay in the same old rut that has
grown comfortable, but oh so stale?
Our senior citizens need you. Our
volunteers are caring people who listen to senior citizens with problems;
determine. ways to help them solve
those problems; inform them of federal, state, and private benefits that
are available to them; refer them to
organizations that can help them; and
are available to assist them should
they encounter roadblocks in receiving what is legally and rightfully
theirs.
Think of the reward you' 11 get for
helping only one person in this program.
For more information about becoming a volunteer for the Benefits
Counseling Program for Senior Citi-
zens, call 886-3876 or toll-free, 1800-556-3876. Please keep our receptionists busy answering phones
and writing memos next week. We
have small jobs. We have large jobs.
Wehavein-officejobs. Wehavejobs
that require limited travel. We have
volunteer jobs for everyone. And the
volunteer is reimbursed for all authorized travel.
What senior citizen out there is
waiting for you to be his or her angel
of mercy? Call today. Our senior
citizens need you.

Feeling blue today? Anxious? Numb? Did you feel that way yesterday? Last week? Last month?
If you can't remember the last time you felt real joy, you may be experiencing clinical depression.
And you're not alone. Depression is so prevalent that some experts call it the "common cold"
of mental health. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression disrupts the lives
of more than 17 million Americans each year.
Despite its epidemic proportions-and the effective treatments that are available-only onethird of those who experience depression ever seek help, often because they're unfamiliar with the
condition and don't recognize its symptoms.
So, here are answers to your questions about depression from Harold Bloomfield, M.D., a psychiatrist and author (with Peter McWilliams) of "How to Heal Depression" (1994, Prelude Press,
$14.95); J. Raymond DePaulo Jr., M.D., professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine and author (with Keith Ablow, M.D.) of "How to Cope with Depression" ( 1990, Fawcett
Books, $4.95); and Madhukar Trivedi, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at Southwest
Medical Center in Dallas.
-How is clinical depression different from ''the blues"?
TRIVEDI: Depression is
distinct from the day-to-day
ups and downs we all experience. It's not just having a
"bad day." Depression interferes with your ability to
function.
DePAULO: What differentiates depressed people from
• unhappy people is the degree
of their symptoms and impairment. Some depressed people
can even cite reasons why
they think they feel the way
they do, but their symptoii}.S
are out of proportion to the
problems.
Also, clinical depression
tends to come and go in
episodes that may last from a
couple of months to two or
more years.
BLOOMFIELD: When
you're depressed, your thinking is faulty. You're not perceiving the world or yourself- your evaluations, judgments and decisions- accurately.
-What are the symptoms
of clinical depression?
DePAULO: People in a
clinical state of depression
often have a diminished sense
of self-worth and self-confidence that is out of character
for them or out of proportion
to the problem. They may feel
guilty, they may feel "low,"
• but sadness is not always predominant. Depression isn't
only sadness and crying.
Depressed people can exhibit
a variety of mood states,
including intense and pervasive anxiety, a feeling of numbness and an inability to cry or feel normal emotion. They may feel kind of dead and hollow. Many patients have told me, "I have no emotions at all." They may be confused and muddled and unable to concentrate and make decisions.
Other possible symptoms include mental and physical fatigue and changes in appetite or sleep patterns .
- What causes clinical depression?
TRIVEDI: With special imaging techniques, we can see clearly that there are functional brain
changes in patients with major depressive disorders. However, the exact cause of depression is
unknown. We do know that neurotransmitters, the chemicals that transfer information from one
part of the brain to another, become imbalanced. In addition to a genetic predisposition, a number
of other factors can precipitate depression, including environmental stresses, difficult life circumstances, alcohol, drugs and medications. No one factor is responsible for depression.
DePAULO: Stroke and Parkinson's disease are two common nongenetic causes of depression.
I've treated.patients for clinical depression after heart attacks, although most had experienced peri- ·
ods of depression previously.
- Will I need to have years of intense psychotherapy?
TRIVEDI: Only short-term therapies have been shown to be effective in treating major depression. They are goal-directed and deal with the here and now rather than childhood issues.
BLOOMFIELD: Most of the time-especially in the mature years- it's not appropriate to sit
down and spend two years examining what your mom did when you were 4 years old. These brief
therapies are more educational and teach new skills for living a more productive, satisfying and
., loving life. They work extremely well for helping someone past a crisis, particularly in a mild to
moderate depression. Generally, 10 to 12 sessions are adequate for most peopl~.
-If talk therapies are helpful, why would I need antidepressant medication?
TRIVEDI: Antidepressants restore the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain. In milder
forms of depression, psychotherapy and medication may be equally effective. For people with
moderate to severe depression, antidepressant medications may be the more prudent choice.
Studies indicate that for people who have experienced multiple episodes of depression, antidepressant medication is more effective at preventing recurrences.
BLOOMFIELD: Certainly, if it is a really severe depression, antidepressants may be necessary.
People who are severely depressed can't learn through psychotherapy because they're so stuck.
The energy and concentration aren't there. Antidepressants are not painkillers, tranquilizers or
cover-ups.
-Why don't people seek treatment?
DePAULO: Some people don't understand what depression is or think that, because they don't
feel sad, they aren't depressed. When I told a patient at the end of a 90-minute interview that he
had clinical depression, he looked at me and said in disbelief: "I know what depression is. That's
when your dog dies and you feel sad. I don't own a dog and I don't feel sad."
Others reject the whole notion of depression and feel they should be able to snap out of it. People
need to understand that clinical depression is a disease and does not reflect some moral or emotional weakness on their part.
BLOOMFIELD: Some
folks think therapies aren't
natural. Psychotherapy is
mostly talking, you aren't
forced to do anything.
,_ Antidepressants
simply
restore natural levels of naturally occurring substances.
Antidepressants are not addictive. Don't let unfounded
• fears discourage you. By far
and away, the major problem
'f in treating depression in this
country is under-treatment.
Also, depression is more
prevalent in people 65-plus.
But often, some of the symptoms, such as physical aches
- and poor memory, are written
off as the effects of just growing old or are labeled
Alzheimer's disease, when, in
fact, the person is experiencing a treatable depression.
Other people try to medicate themselves with alcohol
when they're just a little
depressed or are going
through a crisis. But that
makes matters a hundred
times worse, because after the
initial stimulant effect, alcohol becomes a depressant.
- Where should I go for
help?
BLOOMFIELD:
Depression requires more
than just a three-minute evaluation and a prescription. A
complete medical checkup is
always in order, along with a
review of all your medications. Consult a specialist- a
physician, a psychologist or, ideally, a psychiatrist. Find someone with whom you feel comfortable. Check out a couple of experts, if necessary, or ask your friends for referrals.
-Besides getting professional help, what else can I do?
BLOOMFIELD: If you are really lonely and isolated, joining a support group, doing some volunteer work or finding new employment can help. Studies indicate that getting a pet may help, as
well as starting some kind of exercise program. Exercise produces endorphins, which are the
body's natural antidepressants.
- Is there any good news about depression?
BLOOMFIELD: I'm a firm believer that we can learn from our pain and suffering. Spiritual
exploration is beneficial as you work through a depression because, in the mature years, you have
to confront your own mortality. You can put together a more handcrafted life filled with more wisdom and less self-hatred.

Medicare pioneered the development and
use of payment systems that regulate the
rate of growth in health spending.
• Finally, Medicare allows beneficiaries
to choose where and from whom they
receive care by selecting eligible practitioners through either the traditional Medicare
program or a health maintenance organization (HMO).
MEDICARE CUTS HURT
AMERICANS
The Medicare program already has been
cut by nearly $200 billion since 1980.
Recent cuts totaled $56 billion in 1993.
Additional Medicare cuts would have drastic consequences for older Americans and
their families. Medicare budget reductions
·
would:
• substantially increase beneficiaries'
out-of-pocket expenses and further erode
their incomes;
• further diminish the choice of healthcare providers because lower reimbursement rates make it more difficult for ·
Medicare beneficiaries to find private
physicians and hospitals willing to treat
them;
• place more of the burden of care for
aging parents and grandparents on families
already coping with child-care expenses or
their own retirement needs; and
• ultimately threaten the integrity of the
Medicare program-jeopardizing the health
coverage of retirees.
Higher Medicare spending is a symptom-not the cause-of rising health-care
expenditures. Until the entire health-care
system is reformed, further cuts in
Medicare will likely undermine quality and
access to care.

Tinnitus and what can be done about it
by Mike Woods
Scripps Howard News Service
Have you ever heard sounds that
originate inside your head, rather
than in the outside world? Hissing.
Cracking. Ringing. Screeching.
Roaring. Chirping. Buzzing.
The number of Americans with
this condition, termed tinnitus, is so
enormous that it challenges the popular definition of hearing, which is
to detect sounds in the outside
world.
One study, conducted by the
National Research Council (NRC),
concluded "probably every human
bas at one time or another in life"
beard such sounds NRC even suggested that mild, brief cases be considered "normal" in the same sense
that an occasional pimple or backache is normal.
The
American
Tinnitus
Association (which suggests the
pronunciation "tin-eye-tus) estimates that about 50 million people
suffer from the problem. NRC says
that 1 percent of the population,
about 2.5 million people, has
severe, debilitating tinnitus.
How can tinnitus be debilitating?
Imagine the bigh-pitcl)ed squeal of
the 60-second emergency broadcast
signal that radio stations test periodically. Some people with tinnitus
bear that sound 24-bours a day.
In some cases of tinnitus, there is
an actual source of the sound inside
the head, and it can be heard with an
amplifying device. These include
clicking joints in the jaw, muscle
contractions and blood vessel
abnormalities.
Researchers have reported
remarkable cases in which the ears
of children, adults and even one dog
and one cat emit high-pitched tones
that people could hear several feet
away.
Usually, however, there is no
obvious source of the sound, and it
is heard only by the individual.
Tmnitus may occur occasionally or
constantly, and range from a minor
nuisance to a maddening and debilitating condition that interferes with
normal life.
People with tinnitus should have
a medical exam to determine if
there is an underlying cause that can
be treated or corrected. Some pre-
scription and nonprescription
drugs-including aspirin, certain
antibiotics and some high blood
pressure drugs-can cause ringing
in the ears.
For people taking heavy doses of
aspirin for arthritis, tinnitus's
appearance can be a sign that the
dose is too high. Other medications
containing saicylate, the compound
found in aspirin, also can cause tinnitus.
It also can result from tumors of
the acoustic nerve, which carries
sound signals from the ear to the
brain; middle ear infections; sinus
problems; excessive build-up of
wax in the ear canal; disease of the
bones in the middle ear; and other
problems.
In most causes, physicians can
find no cause for tinnitus, NRC's
comprehensive study found that
reassurance is probably the most
common and most effective treatment for mild cases of the disease.
Patients are relieved to know
they have a common condition,
which does not mean they're about
to become deaf, and is not a symptom of some catastrophic brain or

Going natural
by Joe Bower
These days, "all natural, additive-free" labels are appearing on
more than just food. For example,
Sally Fox, a Wickenburg, Ariz., cotton breeder, grows a natural-colored cotton for making clothing.
The cotton, called Fox Fibre, is
raised on 10,000 acres in Texas and
Arizona, and 95 percent of it is
grown organically. The cotton
grows naturally in two earthy
shades of brown and two shades of
green, so-unlike conventional cotton- bleaches and toxic dyes are
not needed to obtain a color.
Despite its marketplace novelty,
naturally colored cotton is not ·new
and has been cultivated for thousands of years in North and South
Be your own
best friend
In a world packed full of financial dilemmas, deadlines, difficult
people and negative attitudes, it's
no wonder that living in the '90s
can be tough. But you don't have to
let stress get the best of you.
"It's not the big things that make
a difference in our lives, it's the little things," says Donna Watson,
Ph.D., a stress-management expert.
"Sometimes we get so busy that we
forget to notice what a beautiful
world we live in. We don't notice
the smile of a child, the leaves turning gold and red or a rainbow
promising hope."
Good-for-you do's and don'ts
To help keep stress in check, try
some of these tips from Watson's
book, "101 Simple Ways to Be
Good to Yourself' (1993, Energy
Press, $7.95):
-Carry an interesting book
with you at all times. When you're
stuck in a traffic jam or in the
checkout line at the store, start
reading.
- Unclutter your life. Get rid of
the things you never use.
-Exercise your right to make
choices. Choose to stay in a situation or choose to walk away- but
choose.
-Create a "wish bank." Make a
list of things-big and little-that
you would like to do. Write each
wish on a card and place the cards
in a special box or jar. Then, periodically draw a card and grant
yourself that wish.
- Do something enjoyable with
friends at least twice a month.
- Send flowers to yourself.
Gifts like this help you recognize
your own importance.
-Make time for yourself: Give
yourself 15 minutes each day that
belong to no one but you.
-Don't "awfulize." Anticipating the worst or exaggerating the
dire consequences of some situation or action only makes things
seem worse.
- Know your priorities. If you
can't immediately list your top
three priorities in life, it's time to sit
down and consider the matter.

Did they have to get lawyers?..."
A man writes on a similar theme:

nerve disorder.
Many people with mild tinnitus
become accustomed to the noise
and simply ignore it. Some find it
troublesome only at night while trying to fall asleep. They mask it with
background music; recordings of
ocean waves or other "white
noise"; or by listening to static on
the FM radio band.
Others fmd tinnitus intolerable,
and try medications, vitamins,
biofeedback and other forms of
treaonent. Perhaps the most important advance in treaunent has been
development of "tinnitus maskers."
These electronic devices generate
external noises of different frequencies that help block the internal
noise.
Some maskers use digital sound
and computer technology to produce thousands of different frequencies that can mask an enormous range of hisses, squeals,
buzzes and other sounds. Masker
circuitry also can be put into a standard hearing aid for people who
have both hearing loss and tinnitus.
Maskers come in two basic
forms, bedside units and in-the-ear
units similar to a hearing aid. Some
patients use both-the ear unit during the day and the bedside unit during the night The sound, however,
may be a nuisance for a sleeping
companion who does not have tinnitus.

---The Medical Adviser--VARICOSE VEINS
ARE A COMMON AILMENT
by M.R. Hiller
Q: My mother, who gave birth to six
children, has varicose veins that, although
somewhat painful, have not required
f1$Urgery. I am a 42-year-old woman who
has never had a child. What are varicose
veins? What's the likelihood that I will
have them, and can I fend them off?-C.S.,
Somerville, Mass.
A: Varicose veins have faulty valves
that allow blood to flow backward, leading
to misshapen and sometimes painful veins.
Most experts say varicose veins do tend to
run in families and pregnancy makes them
more likely. There is little you can do to
prevent them.
Normally, a vein's bilobed valves help
move blood from the extremities to the
heart without allowing back flow. When
the valves no longer seal completely, blood
can flow backward, or reflux. The vein can
swell, dilate and twist, and pouches can
~orm. This can cause throbbing pain
around the vein and, in severe cases, lead
to leg ulcers.
"Varicose" means swollen and dilated.
Questions remain about what causes varicose veins and how prevalent they are.
They can occur in superficial veins in
almost any part of the body. They can be
chronic and can recur. Most commonly,
people develop varicose veins below the
knee and at the ankle, but they also frequently appear on the thigh. The leg's
saphenous vein and its tributaries or
branches, which extend from the pelvic
region downward, are often involved.
~
Although varicose veins may be
acquired- for example, due to clots
obstructing the deep venous system-the
prevailing theory is that they are mainly
the result of a congenital abnormality in
the vein wall. They are very common,
affecting women and men of all races.
Just because a vein is visible doesn't
mean it is varicose. Only a doctor can diagnose varicose veins. Ultrasound imaging
may be used to map the vein's structure
and valve efficiency.
What causes a vein to become varicose
is still debated in the medical community.
In February 1994, a summary article in the
British Journal of Surgery looked at the
wide range of traits researchers have analyzed: sex, heredity, age, pregnancy, race,
geographical location, obesity and occupation. Even such habits as wearing tight
pants and keeping legs crossed have been
suggested as culprits.
The summary article noted that women
are 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 times more likely than
men to develop varicose veins. Some
physicians cite even greater differences.
Varicose veins are more common in
some families but it hasn't been proven
irrefutably that they're inherited. It is universally accepted, however, that the veins
become more likely with age.
Studies summarized in the article also
showed that a woman is more likely to
develop varicose veins during pregnancy.
The likelihood may increase with each
pregnancy, but a woman who has had several pregnancies is often older than a
woman who has had one, complicating any
direct correlation.
Estrogen, which increases during pregnancy, may be a factor. It prompts a relaxation of smooth muscle cells, which are
found in the uterus and in the walls of
arteries and veins. Estrogen taken in birth
control pills can have a similar effect. After
the pregnancy or when birth control pills
are no longer taken, varicose veins may
improve.
There is no consensus on whether race,
culture or weight affect one's risk of varicose veins.
No medication is available to prevent or
treat varicose veins directly. For many peo-
pie, elevating their legs for 15-minute peri·
ods each day can help relieve discomfort
and slow further varicose-vein development.
Some physicians advise that people not
stand in one place for more than 45 min·
utes at a time, although no ftrm evidence
shows that this is a risk factor. Standing on
tiptoes for several seconds ftve to 10 times
an hour can aid blood circulation, said Dr.
Bruce Kraemer, a professor in plastic and
reconstructive surgery at Washington
University School of Medicine in St.
Louis.
For many years, elastic compression
stockings have been used to treat varicose
veins. They can provide support and help
relieve discomfort, decreasing blood reflux
and the chance that veins will develop further pouching and edema. These are not
common "support hose," but are heavy
elastic stockings that must be designed and
worn properly to be beneficial.
To make proper recommendations
about a person's varicose veins, a physician must assess the underlying anatomy
causing them. Locate a medical center or
hospital that has a physician with a thorough background in venous anatomy and
physiology and in the medical and surgical
treatment of varicose veins.
When seeing a physician, be prepared
to give a thorough medical history and to
note any other leg abnormalities or blood
clots. If varicose veins are diagnosed, learn
the cause from the physician. If the cause
is blood clots or congenital vein-wall
defects, surgical elimination of such veins
may cause more harm than good; the
removal of one vein may complicate the
pressures on others.
If varicose veins become very prominent and painful, surgery may be needed to
alleviate the symptoms. Surgery may also
be sought for cosmetic reasonS'.
A surgeon can tie off, or ligate, a varicose vein. It can also be treated with scle-

In
normal veins, valves prevent
blood from flowing back down
the legs as it is pumped up to
the heart. If the valves become weak, blood may flow downward,
swelling and distorting the veins.

The most common surgical treatment
for varicose veins is vein stripping. With
the patient under general anesthetic,
the surgeon makes incisions at the top
and bottom of the varicose portion of
the vein, and at any major branching,
then cuts and ties off the exposed
parts of the vein. He or she then
inserts a flexible wire through a small
hole made in the top of the vein and
threads it down and out of the bottom.
After tying the top of the vein to the
wire near a specially shaped metal
head, the surgeon pulls the wire and
the vein out through the bottom
incision. The operation usually takes
about half an hour per vein.
fiii\ ho's counting: Since 1992, 197 medical articles have been
~ published which discuss varicose veins.
KEVIN BOYD- MEDICAL INFORMATION SERVICE • DISTRIBUTED BY UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE
rotherapy, which involves injecting a solution that irritates the vein wall, prompting
scar tissue to form and to later block the
vein. In both cases, the vein ceases to function; after sclerotherapy, it ultimately is
obliterated.
In a procedure called stripping, a surgeon removes the varicose vein permanently. Or the physician may combine litigation and stripping.
The saphenous vein, which commonly
is the one stripped, is also a vein used in
bypass surgery, and if it might be needed
later, the vein is ligated but not removed.
Varicose veins can recur in the vicinity
of the surgery or separately. Recurrence
rates can be high, depending on which surgical procedures is used. After stripping,
varicose veins tend to recur in about 10
percent of patients, said Dr. Harold Welch,
a vascular surgeon at New England
Medical Center, Boston, and professor at
Tufts University School of Medicine. For
sclerotherapy, the veins recur to some
degree in about 30 percent of patients on
average.
Before selecting surgery, ask your doctor to estimate the likelihood that the varicose veins will recur, advises Dr.
Constance Weinstein of the National
Institute of Heart, Blood and Lung. She
also recommends getting a second opinion
before surgery.

How to Lower Your Blood Pressure
Elevated blood pressure is one of
•the most common cardiovascular
diseases the average American will
have. Many factors will influence
the likelihood of you developing it.
Some factors are not under your
control, such as family history.
Listed below are nine steps you
can take to reduce your risk for high
blood pressure or to lower your
blood pressure:
1) Exercise: Aerobic exercise for
20 to 30 minutes at least three times
a.week. Begin with 5 to 10 minutes
of cycling, walking, jogging and
other continuous activity at an
intensity that you can talk but not
sing and increase by 1 minute per
thy.
2) Potassium: An adequate
amount may help prevent or lower
high blood pressure. Fresh fruits
and vegetables are good sources.
3) Vegetarian diet Lowers high
blood pressure, perhaps because it
is low in sodium and high in potassium and ftber.
4) Relaxation
techniques:
Biofeedback, meditation, and other
techniques may produce a modest,
temporary reduction in blood pressure.
5) Limit Sodium: Limit intake
by avoiding high-sodium foods and
ot adding salt during cooking.

6) Lower Stress Levels: Effect
may vary greatly, but repeated
stress appears to raise blood pressure.
7) Limit Alcohol: Limit intake to

two drinks a day (a drink is defined
as 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of
beer, or an ounce of 80 proof spirits).
8) Maintain ideal body weight:
Gaining excess weight usually raises blood pressure; losing weight
usually lowers high blood pressure.
Remember, for every pound of
body fat you add, you will add
approximately 1 mile to your circulatory system.
9) Do not Smoke: Do not smoke.
Smoking briefly increases blood
pressure and clearly contributes to
heart disease.
While we cannot choose parents
to influence our risk for high blood
pressure because of family, we can
make the correct choices. If you are
making the correct choices already,
congratulations. If not, I encourage
you to take control of your life
today.

Enchanted by its slower pace,
open space and clean, safe places,
nearly all city dwellers wish-at
one time or another-to live in the
country.
But trading streetlights for
starlight shouldn't be done without
careful consideration and research.
"A lot of people want to move to
Shangri-la. but they don't know
what they're getting into," says
William Seavey, director of
Greener Pastures Institute, a ruralrelocation information broker.
"You're more likely to benefit

your move, know why you're moving and what to expect," adds Lisa
Rogak, publisher of Sticks, a
bimonthly newsletter aimed at helping city dwellers move to the country.
If you're considering such a
move, one of these two groups may
be able to help steer you down the
right country road.
Greener Pastures Institute publishes a quarterly newsletter ($25
for a year's subscription), which
includes facts, tidbits and referrals
about rural-related reports, books,

Many senior citizens are especially worried about crime and how
it affects them. "The sad fact is,
some are so afraid that they lock
themselves in their homes and
rarely go out," Floyd Coun~y

''The truth is," he continued,
"older folks are victims of crime
less often than younger people.
However, that doesn't mean that
our older citizens shouldn't learn
about how to protect themselves

Natural gas appliances and

national operating and design standards, according to the American
Gas Association.
Consumers should look for the
Blue Star Design Certification Seal
from the A.G.A. Laboratories or a
similar seal from another nationally
recognized testing agency, A.G.A.
41rsays.
The A.G.A. Blue Star is an
assurance from the manufacturer
that the design of the national gas
appliance complies with safety
standards adopted by the American
National Standards Institute,
A.G.A. says.
Many local government building codes and standards require
A.G.A. certification on natural gas
appliances and equipment
The A.G.A. laboratories have

crime prevention is simple to follow. Lock your doors and windows.
Swprisingly, in almost 50 percent
of all home and apartment burglaries, someone didn't lock a door or a

Sheriff said. "If it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is!"
One common scheme is the
''phone credit card ruse," where
someone calls you on some pretext
and asks for your credit card number. You should never under any
circumstances give anyone your
credit card number over the phone.
The only exception would be if you
order merchandise by phone and
the representative requests your
credit card number for billing purposes. If your credit card number
falls into the wrong person's hand,
you can be billed for thousands of
dollars of merchandise you didn't
buy.
''Many older folks say that crime
is one of their biggest worries. But I
hope our senior citizens will practice crime prevention and enjoy life
to its fullest," Sheriff Thompson
concluded.

Surviving Alzheimer's
One family's journey
THE
NON-EMERGENCY
ROOM!
by Shirley C. Belcher
Contributing Writer
The patient, my father, died, but
his caregivers survived Alzheimer's. Twelve years of giving dad
daily care took all the patience,
energy, and love that mother, my
eleven siblings and I could find in
ourselves to give. His mental and
physical disabilities and, finally,
bedcare, were too horrible to think
about, but they were mastered. Life
went on. We survived.
Some lessons we learned concerned: (1) Good doctor relationships; (2) Powers of attorney and
wills; (3) How to see a patient's illness; (4) Family conferences and
support groups; (5) The desire to
care for the patient; (6) Keeping life
around the patient. These lessons fit
some stage of our twelve-year
ordeal, dad's life from age 73 to 85.
Often Alzheimer's bas taken
most of a patient's personality and
physical health before a family recognizes the problem is more than
aging. This was true for dad.
Getting a diagnosis was difficult.
No test, other than autopsy, is
known.
Diagnosis may take many trips
to the doctor with a patient who has
little control of his behavior or body
functions. This makes a trip to the
doctor a major undertaking.
My father was in good health;
his specialist said Alzheimer's
might be the thief which was stealing his brain and his tender, loving
personallty. No more tests were
planned. Our role as caregivers
would be to meet dad's basic needs.
But how?
Having a power of attorney (and
a will) for the patient enabled us to
plan without going through the
court, a sometimes costly and time
consuming process. Bills federal,
state, and insurance benefits and
records of income had to be kept.
Also, funds bad to be preserved for
needs, such as the nursing home.
Luckily, his Black Lung and Social
Security checks were generous.
Too, my father had UMWA insurance. His doctor, who, quickly
related well to our needs, ordered a
wheelchair, lifting chair, and bedroom supplies. Even if dad did not
see the· doctor, be kept his reeords
current to meet insurance requirements. Had dad needed nursing
home care, private funds would
have been needed. This was a con-·
cern.
The four stages of Alzheimer's
seem to go from the firSt, a loss of
understanding and personality
change, to the second where a
patient's gentle personality may
turn violent. Stage three sees the
patient's ability to walk and talk,
which may have been diminished in
stage one, worsen. Finally, the bedpatient stage comes and the ability
to talk, even eat, dies.
Not all patients will go through
these stages. Some have short illnesses of about six months, while
others, like dad, may have many
years.
A friend in Birmingham told me
that his father-in-law, with seventeen years, held the record for
"longest Alzheimer's patient care"
in his VA hospital. However, just as
little is known about the illness, little is known about its staRes.
One of my father's first confusions concerned my mother and one
of my brothers-in-law. Dad felt
"that strange man" was courting
mother! How did we cope with the
problem? My brother-in-law stayed
away for years; he knew dad was
not himself any longer.
Mentally, a recognition of the
patient's illness allows caregivers to
treat the illness as it is now.
Forming realistic goals is easier
when one's expectations of the
patient's response is realistic. Very
few
patients
recover
from
Alzheimer's progressive stages,
though some medication, for example, Ativan for anxiety, seems to
offer some respite.
While it is true that the patient
will not "get well," some stages of
care are easier than others. For
example, when my father became a
full bed-patient, about four years
before his death, his care was easier. Like a baby, if he was dry and
fed, he was often happy. Too, his
ability to strike out and hurt others
lessened.
Still, we found that family conferences helped us deal with the
stress caused by this 24-hour-a-day
supervision. For example, it was
expected that those who were near
would bear much of the burden of
care for dad by assisting mother.
and the meetings gave us an opportunity to explore our feelings and
needs as well as dad's. Too, the talents of the group were studied: We
found some were good nurses,
some were babysiners, and some,

and Cathy Clark. before he became ill.
like myself, could clean and, generally, hold things together. Soon we
found ways for those who lived
away to help. For example, one
brother is an electrical engineer. He
kept electrical things fixed, but we
wore out two automatic beds.
Another brother did plumbing.
Though there were twelve of us
to help mother, good communication and the feeling that most were
giving their best, as they could,
netped make the years bearable and
full of love. Of course, there were
moments, even weeks, of failure
and worry!
During the early years, one of
my brothers had a dozer accident
and was off work. He was good
with dad. He could keep him in
good humor, feed him, or take him
out to eat, a favorite trip. Ironically,
this brother, after alerting many of
us, was alone at dad's bedside and
heard dad, who had not spoken in
years, call, "Oh, Jesus! as he died.
My brother was happy to be there.
Where the patient will be cared
for is a personal family decision.
My parents lived on a farm where
only a sister and her husband pass
by. This isolation proved to be very
helpful. Dad, at first, could continue
much of his rambling around the
farm without our fearing he could
do much harm to himself, or get
lost.
Eventually, a fence circled the
house and neat yard. Dad was able
to get out and play with his dog,
water the lawn, or chase his chickens, but I hear former President
Reagan, a victim too, is kept in the
city near his office not at his ranch.
Keeping the patient's environment
as near normal as possible and
incorporating the things he loves
helps everyone. Sometimes sister Jo
tells of how dad carefully made his
bed mornings until the bed one day
was moved, and dad seemed to forget where he was. Bad mistake;
sorry, dad. Mter some years, my
father lost his ability to speak, but
he could still sing, especially at
night! Old Regular Baptist songs or
his Church of Christ songs were
sung endlessly. Did this please or
annoy us? Well, it depended on our
mood at the time. However, recordings were made of dad's "music,"
which some lovingly remember
from childhood.
Dad loved to play the harmonica, too. He played long after he had
forgotten how to talk and long after
he had forgotten all of us, except
mother who would not leave for
long as she feared be would forget
her. This, she knew, would make his
care more difficult and hurt her, too.
Mother never welcomed hospital
stays and certainly would not talk of
a nursing home, though she had a
couple of hospital stays herself
because of fatigue.
Early on, we were told that losing the ability to swallow results in
the patient starving to death.
Horrors! Well, food was a big concern. It took mom hours to feed dad.
Eventually, their bedroom was
enlarged and furnished to serve
both of their changing needs. Soon,
this room included a nice TV; dad
seemed to enjoy country music.
Here, mom would perch on her
stool (bad arthritis plagued her
daily all the years that she cared for
dad so faithfully) and spend an hour
or two having a meal with dad
while watching her soaps.
Mother loved to quilt in the winter. (Summers were for gardening,
and keep growing things around.)
Her quilts enabled her to reach outside her house and stay in touch
with her loved ones. A week rarely
passed that she did not have several
relatives in for a birthday or holiday.
Her attitude toward dad set the
tone for all who came to their boun-
tiful table. However, mom usually
ate with dad. She kept her standards
of care high, and many were happy
to help her maintain them.
For example, one of dad's sis~
ters-in-law, Rachel, a widow, came
daily for six years to bathe and
shave dad and cut his hair, with
mom or Jo's help. Good baths,
clean bedding, good food, etc., kept
more people happy than just the
patient. They made life better for all
of us. For example, once dad
seemed to be losing lots of weight
Many cried: "I can't bear to see him
starve to death." A baby food diet,
plus oatmeal with ice cream-lots
of calories--was introduced to fight
this fear. Soon, dad was back nibbling on a com muffin, a favorite
food, and a last voluntary action.
Keeping life going on around the
patient, as you can see, meant keeping life around my mother, his main
caregiver. Her nature is outgoing;
many responded to her needs. Her
sister, Aggie, and a friend, Nova,
phoned daily. Nova's husband, Fed,
who is dad's firSt cousin, called
daily with garden foods or to sit
with dad to free mom to work in her
gardens which she had developed
around her house.
Often dreaded things became
easy. For example, a sister worried
that her grandson, about three then,
might see dad's violent behavior.
By the time dad died, she had three
grandchildren who would crawl
into Grandpa's bed immediately
after arriving from Lexington to
visit
In this manner, most of the
feared things never happened: Dad
never starved to death. We never
gave up-that is, all at the same
time! We prayed for strength and
tried, like Apostle Paul, to be happy
in the circumstances we found ourselves in. Many made the decision
to accept Christ's promise of salvation.
How did it all end? Well, one
day dad's condition changed; a
trained caregiver was needed. The
doctor came: "At home care is still
best," he said. Luckily, we had a
trump left A sister in Anchorage is
a Registered Nurse. It was time for
her to come.
Glenda arrived three weeks
before dad's death and started acute
care. Dad responded!
However, when the doctor, on a
house call, ditched his Jeep, neighbors came to help him and the word
spread: "Kenis is dying."
Foods, love, and prayers, as well
as helping hands, arrived to support
the caregivers. But the doctor
ordered the medication (morphine)
stopped. For this, he allowed us to
move dad to Highlands Regional
Medical Center on Auxier Road.
My sister was back in Alaska
with her loved ones when he died
the next day, February 22, 1994.
Early on, to keep family united,
big reunions were held in a park we
developed at the homeplace, on
about the spot that dad and mother
were married in 1930. Lovely wedding anniversaries were celebrated
as were many other life events,
from wedding showers to picnics.
Dad seemed to enjoy these. In this
manner, "family" was involved,
united, and grew to meet the
tremendous need.
Twenty-eight of dad's thirty-two
grandchildren (and many greatgrandchildren) came for his funeral
and burial above the bomeplace.
When dad had first become ill,
most grandchildren were in grade
school. Now, there was a doctor, a
lawyer, a director, and an editor.
Most had known the real Grandpa
for only a few years. Still, they
came to honor the man he was, the
sick man he was able to be, his
wife, and the other caregivers who
survived.

Jimmy Branham, better
known as 'Lil Jim to most
racers, thinks that he is back
to learning what it takes to be
a winning driver.
"I've learned that you can't
get to the front in one or two
laps," he said. "You got 20
laps out there to waste, so you
can take your time and pick
off one or two. You have to
finish before you can win.
That's the main thing right
there, to finish the race."
Branham said that speed
comes when a driver ,gets used
to his car and begins feeling
relaxed in it.
'Lil Jim started racing last
season and was one of the
youngest, if not me youngest,
to drive in modified competilion at Salyersville and Thunder Ridge.
Branham started taking to
the track when he, along with
his brother Harry, purchased
a car last season and ran at
Thunder Ridge.
Branham was making
some noise around the tracks
but then sort of went into a
slump. He got out of the
szroove but had some off
nights before learning and

two don't like competing
against each other.
"We are both very competitive and we didn't like
going against each other,"
said Branham. "We felt it was
better for us to separate. We
feel we can do better that
way."
Branham is quick to point
out that it is his father, Jimmy
Branham, who is the spark
that makes Branham Racing
go.
''Dad is the main part of
Branham Racing," he said.
"He keeps all four cars going.
He handles all the fmancial
aspects ofit. He tells us where
to go and what to do. He's the
center of the deal."
Expansion of Branham
Racing is in the future, according to Branham.
"Maybe in another four
years when we are winning
consistently and being more
competitive- when we do
get better- we might move
up to the Late Model," he
said.
Branham has three heat
races and one feature victory
to his credit. He won the feature at the 201 Speedway.
"Dad said as long as we
were having fun and are gettingalong,justgohave a good
time. That's the main reason
we're out there.
"Win or lose, it's the best
time we can have, coming out
to the races."
Although he has experienced some early racing season problems, Branham is not
discouraged.
"I've had a lot of good
runs," he said, "but some of
the things just haven't went
my way.

always been a big part of his
life.
"I have been following
racing all my life," be said. "I
love it. It used to be that if you
had a car to run, that your
immediate family enjoyed it
with you. But now thatThunder Ridge bas come to our
area. everybody can enjoy
your car."
Cars do get damaged, bent
up and is in need of repair.
How about straightening it
out once it is bent?
"I just take a hammer and
beatitout," said Turner. "But
after it gets so bad we will
make new panels."
A stock car is not pretty,
but the beauty of a car is not
what is important How it
performs around the circuits
is.
'They don't look all that
good when you take a close
look at one," he said, "But
when they are circling the
track, they are a thing of
beauty."
Instead of the normal gasoline that you and I might use
in our everyday car, alcohol
is the fuel that Turner pours
in the tanks of these machines
that roar around the track.
"Over a race night we will
use over 40 gallons of fuel.
We'll start a feature race with
about 32 gallons," said
Turner.
The next time you see your
favorite driver in victory lane,
remember, be had help in getting there. A good pit crew is
vital to the success of a driver.

"'They started letting us run

that changed the whole set up

didn't really take to it like I
should have. It took me awhile
to get lined back out. I came

Main lesson learned by
Kinzer: ''Being smooth!''
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
Young race car fans often
dream of someday owning
their own ''machine" and taking their turn in victory lane
as they pull out a victory in a
feature race, whether it be in
the Late Model, Thunder 'N
Lightning, Bomber or
Moclifieds.
With the opening of Thunder Ridge last year, and the
long-time run of the 201
Speedway, more and more
younger drivers are getting
into the driver's seat of their
own car and making the circuits.
Prestonsburg's Brandon
Kinzer is ·such a person. At
17, Kinzer has begun to make
a name for himself in the racing arena
Last racing season Kinzer
was fortunate to make the feature race. But that was last
ye£lf. This is a different season and he is enjoying it.
"We've come a long way
from last year," he said. "We
ran the back lot last year and
we never even made the features last year."
Not only is Kinzer one of
the area's top drivers at a
young age, but he is also the
current points leader in the
Modified division at Thunder
Ridge.
The difference?
"We've learned a lot from
last year," he said. "The crews
learned a whole lot and I've
learned a lot. Everything is
coming together for us now,"
he said.
What has been the main
lesson to be learned from last
season?
"Mostly being smooth,"
said Kinzer. "These cars are
hard to drive. They have real
small tires on them and being
smooth is the key to it all.
1batcomes withalotoftime."
Kinzer has definitely
picked up his confidence in
only his second season on the
track. He owns two cars, but
he likes the one he is driving
now.
The competition at the
tracks around the area are very
competitive and Kinzer said
it is a privilege that be is able
to get on the same track with
some of the best drivers.
"Therearesomegreatcars
here," he said. "Some cars
that have been running for 10
and 12 years are raced here.
But I feel good running with
some of these drivers."
Kinzer's interest in stock
racing came at an earlier time
inhislifewhenhewouldjourney with his father Jerry
Kinzer to Bristol, Tennessee
for the NASCAR circuit.

"My dad and a bunch of us
started going to Bristol when
I was about six years old,"
explained Kinzer. "It was
something that I always
wanted to do ever since. I
really enjoy it"
Kinzer usually begins his
week after a Saturday night
race by taking Sunday off.
"We wash the car on Mondayanddomostoftheweekly
stuff during the week, like
changing the oil and greasing
the car.
"We then set itup on Tuesday for the coming Saturday
night and that's theendofour
week unless we have a lot of
damage."
Kinzer gives credit to the
Thunder Ridge facility for
creatingmoreinterestinstock
car racing.
"This is a tremendous
place," he said, "and they have
created a lot of interest in
racing. They have spent a lot
ofmoney here and, hopefully,
everything will work out for
them."
Kinzer is staying put right
now,racingatThunderRidge
only because of the points
standings.
"We're running for the
points over here," he stated.
"I have been leading in the
standings and that's what we
want to do is run for the
points."
Kinzer explained that
while Thunder Ridge is primarily his racing home this
season, he plans to "try and
raceatotherplacesnextyear."
The point system appears
complicated to most race fans,
but a driver who places ftrst
in his feature receives 90
points. A second-place finisher is awarded 80 points
and third place is good for 70.
"You get extra points for
qualifying fmtand points for
winning heat races," said
Kinzer. "If you miss a week
racing, it is costly and it hurts
you, especially if the person
behind you in the standings
races and does real good. You
have no points and he does.
·we try to run every week
here."
Kinzer got both his cars
off veteran driver Shannon
Thornsbury of Martin.
"We like the chrome one the
best," said Kinzer. "It's a little
lighter and handles better."
While there are younger
drivers on the stock car circuit, Kinzer has learned a
valuable lesson and that isbeing smooth.

Stock car racing at 201 is "family affair"
by Chris Belcher
Contributing Writer
It is bard to really explain
the sudden boom of stock car
racing in Eastern Kentucky,
especially in the past eight
years.
Ob, it has always been an
interesting sport that drew
mostly families and friends of
drivers that made their way
around the oval tracks.
But now. you don't have
to be a car owner or have a
memberofthefamily orjusta
friend that does have one, to
follow stock car racing.
The 201 Speedway, located in Johnson County, is
just one of the spots in Eastem Kentucky were race fans
gather every Saturday night
to take m the thrills, yes, the
spills of the sport.
201 had it's beginning back
in spring of 1991 when Bill
McCloud and Donnie Mead-
ows purchased a vacant dirt
track that was nestled in the
hills of Johnson County.
It had been ftve years or
more since the desolate track
bad seen or heard the noise of
stock cars racing around its
circumference. The once active track had become the
home of bushes, weeds and
undergrowth that was rooted
in the racing surface.
Weeks became months as
the bush hogging and clearing duties began for som~bard
workers in preparing the 3/8
oval tnlck to once again be the
home of thousands of racing
fans around the area.
The once abandoned facility was transformed into a
high-banked race track that
wouldforthe nextftve years,
host some of the fmest drivers from Kentucky, West
Virginia, Ohio and Indiana.
The reopening night
wasn't all that glamorous as
far as numbers went, but the
action washotandbeavy and
set the tone that would follow for the next ftve race
seasons.
A total ot seven drivers
were in attendance the ftrst
night the refurbishoo track
opened but. nevertheless. the
track held only two features;
one being an "Australian
Pursuii" feature in which
drivers were eliminated ifthey
pas...<;ed.
Two months after its
opening, a fte!d of 140 cars
made their way to 201 to
compete in Claim Bomber,
Super Bomber, and Front
Clip Racing (which is now
the Late Model class) races.
In October of '93,
McCloud purchased part
ownership of the Meadows
to become the track's sole
owner. McCloud was not new
to the racing circuit, nor to
the madness that was developing across the country.
He was a former veteran
that ran the dirt tracks across
the state of Kentucky and
Ohio for 22 years, racing in
the modified division.
Upon retiring from the

Most of the employees who
started when the track reopened are still at the facility.
Each have individual duties
such as Mike "Yankee" Yates
and Mike Williams (Mike's

track after the caution flags.

The National Anthem is
not forgotten at 201 when
promptly at 8 p.m. the Anthem is heard in respect for
America.
All over the track fans will

younger children and senior
citizens as well.
The ftrst heat race begins

second heat race is started.

Long before he threw his
hat intQ the political circle,
Prestonsburg mayor Jerry
Fannin threw his racing helmet into the racing circuit.
The
mild-mannered
mayor of a small Eastern
Kentucky city takes on a different personality when Saturday evening rolls around
andhedonshisracinghelmet
and motors to Thunder Ridge,
pulling his Bomber racer behind him.
Before the political scene
and even before Thunder
Ridge, the fearless mayor
used to run the rai!s at Clay
City Dragstrip.
"I used to drag a lot at
Clay City," said Mayor Jerry
Fannin. "Wewouldbuildour
own cars. I did all the mechanic work, as well, and I
did it for a long time. I used to
love to fool with motors."
The fever got hold of
Fannin when he made a trip
to Thunder Ridge last year to
watch stock car racing. He
made a mistake- or did he
-and entertained a thought
of owning his own stock car
racer.
"After I came over to
Thunder Ridge and took in a
meet, I sort of got the fever,"
he said. "I had stopped in
Lexington one day to visit a
friend of mine and he had the
car I drove in last year, Number 118.
"I asked him if he knew what
car to buy. He said Let me
sell you this one.' I bought it
on the spot and we were out
racing the next weekend."
Withtheracingbugincontrol, Fannin purchased his
second car this year off Steve
Blackburn and turned Num-

ber 118 overtoanotherdriver.
Number 118 is a Bomber
and Fannin's number two car
is a modified.
"Bombers are something
that will not cost you a whole
lot of money to get into," said
Fannin. "But they still are
expensive."
Fannin admitted, though,
that the cost is worth it because the car is a lot of fun to
race.
"You just can't beat it." he
said.
Ever wonder who builds
those stock car racers.
Like most people, it is just
assumed that when a race car
driver gets a car, be goes to a
Stock Car dealer and purchases a Bomber, Modified,
Late Model, or whatever is
available.
But there are no car lots,
only builders.
Stanley Haddix is one of
those chassis builders, and
racing fans can see his name
displayed among the different advertisements on many
cars that roar around the
tracks.
Haddix builds the cars
from the frame up and furnishes a complete body minus the motor.
"I don't build motors," he
said.
After it's built, the chassis
must be put through a test,
and what better place to test
one than in actual competition. Haddix mans the
driver's seat in the Haddix-

Mayor Fannin got a late
start in last year's racing season but did manage to compete.

Thrner works behind the scenes
by Ed Taylor
Sports Editor
In our behind the scenes
report, we find it awesome
the amount of people it takes
to make up a pit crew at the
stock races around the area.
Although the most important person is the driver, there
are those who work silently
behind the scenes and never
receive the credit that rightly
is due them.
There are those who work
on the car, care for the car
after the races, spend their
week working on the car in
preparation of the next run it
will make.
Quietly,silently, and without any fanfare, the pit crews
are busy working.
Kyle Turner is just one of
the hundreds whoareonhand
to provide help in whatever
area he can. While his name
will not appear in the sports
pages or in the final results,
still he, and others like him,
are a vital part of a racing
team.

Turner is part of the John
Allen pit crew that races at
Thunder Ridge on Saturday
nights. Turner enjoys his job
as a member of Allen's pit
crew.
His job will vary during a
race night.
"I take care of the tires,
gas and anything else that
needs to be done for John and
his brother Barron," said
Turner. "Barron drives aLate
Model and Jobn drives in the
Modifieds."
It is a learning experience
for the Allen Central student
and he is very versatile in his
position on the crew.
"I keep the tires right and
change tires during the race,"
explained Turner. "I do motor work and body work as
well-just about everything
that needs to be done."
The Allen Race Team has
run at the 201 Speedway, as
well as Thunder Ridge, and
has brought home third and
fourth place finishes.
"John is getting better with
each race," said Turner about
Allen. "He's really learning a
lot about racing."
Turner, from a pit crew's
view, says that the competition is keen at Thunder Ridge
and has a slight advantage
over the area tracks.
'There's no doubt about
it, the competition is very
much competitive here," he
said.
Turner said that racing has
