It was the “good news/badnews” scenario for RockcastleCounty and the City of Mt.Vernon recently.

The “good news” was thatthe city got $300,000 for a side-walk replacement project fromTransportation EnhancementFunds and the “bad news” cameto the Rockcastle Fiscal Courtwhich was turned down for agrant to renovate the old Jonesbuilding on Main Street.

The county received fundingin the state budget this year topurchase the building and fundshad been applied for to renovatethe building so it could be used

as a Chamber of Commerce of-fice with a crafts area and aroom detailing of this part ofU.S. 25 in the history of thestate.

County Judge Buzz Carloftiswas none too happy with theresults of the application. Afterreceiving notification of theturndown Wednesday, and be-ing asked what the reason forthe non-funding was, he said “Idon’t know and I’m mad.”

Mt. Vernon Mayor ClariceKirby, however, was quitehappy when contacted about thecity getting the money neededto build a new sidewalk to Rite-

Aid from the existing one on thesame side and to repair existingsidewalks on both sides to therailroad tracks.

Kirby said she did not makeapplication to redo the side-walks on Main Street yet be-cause plans are to eventuallyreplace all the underground wa-ter and sewer lines and then torenovate the sidewalks.

Senator Ed Worley, com-menting on the award, said“This funding will help makeMt. Vernon a more desirableplace for residents and visitorsalike.”

State Representative DannyFord said, “This is a muchneeded project that will cer-tainly help Mt. Vernon and pro-vide a route for our tourists whowant to exercise and walk, aswell as our local residents.”

If two grant applications areapproved, Quail Park on Hwy.70 will get a much needed facelift.

The Rockcastle Fiscal CourtFriday, at a special meeting,approved two grant applica-tions, one for $60,000 for a newbuilding at the park whichwould be heated and air condi-tioned and have restroom facili-ties for year-round use. Appli-cation for this grant is beingmade to the Governor’s Officeof Local Development (GOLD)for coal severance funds.

The second grant will bemade for a Land and WaterConservation grant and will bein the amount of $150,000.These funds will be used forblacktop for drive and parkingarea, a septic system, ball fieldlighting and fencing (girls soft-ball field), bleachers, wheel-chair accessible picnic tables,swing sets, new roof for the ex-isting shelter, etc.

The county will have to pro-vide 50% of the $150,000 grantand County Judge/ExecutiveBuzz Carloftis said Mondaythat $63,000 of the $75,000would be provided by countylabor and equipment, $9,000 incash from the county and$3,000 in cash from the QuailHomemakers who manage thefacility.

The several acres of land forQuail Park was donated by Royand Flora Mae Brown in the 70sand became a project of theQuail Homemakers Club. Withonly $500 of borrowed money,that was personally guaranteedby club members, the park hasprovided limited facilities forRockcastle countians for years.The park’s shelter is completelybooked every week end fromSpring through October.

Now under county owner-ship, the park is still managedand supervised daily by theQuail Homemakers Club.

Other projects applied forDuring the special meeting,

the Fiscal Court also applied foran additional $1,296,000 ofprojects through GOLD fromcoal severance fund.

Carloftis told the court thatthe county’s total of coal sever-ance funds available is$501,355. However, he alsosaid the county has no guaran-tee of getting the $501,355 fromthe fund but that there is alsothe possibility of getting more,if the GOLD office deems theprojects presented as worthy of

funding.Over $900,000 was applied

for for Eastern Rockcastle Wa-ter Association, primarily forthe laying of water lines on Ky.Hwy. 1912 ($56,000), MullinsStation Road ($113,000),Boone Cromer Road($108,000), Bloss Road($42,000) and Poplar Gap Road($70,000).

There was also included inthe application, two 20,000 gal-lon water tanks - one on Hwy.1249 ($151,000) and one onHwy. 1955 ($113,000) and wa-ter system improvements inDistrict 2 and 3

The Kentucky Music Hall ofFame and Museum will benefitby $300,000 if the applicationis approved. The grant includesfunding for display cases($90,000), $80,000 to updatethe heating and cooling system;$40,000 for an outdoor class-room; $35,000 for interactivedisplays; $20,000 to updatetheir web site and $15,000 for ablacktop drive and sidewalk.

Theft of natural resourcesoccurring on forest lands

The market for medicinalherbs has theft on the rise onnational forest lands. The barkof slippery elm (Ulmus rubra)is one of several forest productsin high demand. The bark ofthese trees is being stripped andsold to buyers in the businessof herbal remedies. The muci-laginous inner layer of the barkis used as a soothing agent forgastrointestinal inflictions andskin irritations.

Recently, three separate in-cidents of illegally taking slip-pery elm bark from trees on theDaniel Boone National Foresthave led to the apprehension ofseveral individuals. Two ofthese incidents occurred inLeslie County, which involvedthe arrest of three people whorepeated the offense of remov-ing slippery elm bark withinone week of their first offense.

(Cont. to A-4)

I have always been some-what of a fanatic about radios. Ipurchased my first transistorpocket variety when I was aboutten years old and carried it withme wherever I went. Everynight I took it to bed, and usu-ally fell asleep with the ear-phone in my ear. From that pointon, I have been addicted to ra-dio. When my automobilestarts, the radio comes on, and Inever consider going anywherewithout it playing. I keep a rep-lica of an old tube type modelplaying in my kitchen 24 hoursa day, and it is never turned off.I believe that this fascination isthe result of my grandfather’s(Eugene Stokes) love of his oldwooden floor model -- a Wagnerconsole radio, which now sits inthe front room of my home.

Pop pulled a chair up to thefront of this radio and sat withhis hands on the top as he lis-tened to his favorite programs.He was totally involved withwhatever specific show he washearing at the time. As a youngboy, I learned that he did notwant to be interrupted when hewas “connected” to his radio.Over the years, I was able toplace his programming intothree categories: news, religion,and entertainment -- in just thatorder.

Every morning and evening– without fail – he would listenintently to either Lowell Tho-mas or Edward R. Murrow toget the latest news of the world.I think he preferred Lowell Tho-mas to all other news reporters.At night Pop would turn up thevolume when Thomas wouldsay, “Good evening everybody,this is Lowell Thomas.” Tho-mas always ended his newscastwith, “So long until tomorrow.”During World War II, Thomasbroadcast detailed accounts ofthe war, often from a mobile

truck behind enemy lines. Popadmired his solid voice of au-thority.

To the best of my memory,Pop’s choice of religious pro-gramming was limited to twosources. One of my favoritememories of him was sittingwith his hands on the top of theradio as he listened to Oral Rob-erts preach. Even though Popwas a staunch Baptist, he lovedto listen to Roberts, who was aPentecostal preacher. By 1950Roberts was traveling the coun-try with a huge tent and broad-casting simultaneously on over60 radio stations. For some rea-son, Pop felt connected to Rob-erts’ ministry. The other reli-gious program that he loved wasthe “Sunday Morning Gather-ing,” which originated fromRenfro Valley. He simply wouldnot miss a single episode of thatshow. I can see him now pattinghis foot as singers performed theold standard hymns.

Pop also loved comedy andadventure. I believe his “all timefavorite” show was Amos andAndy, which was a weekly situ-ation comedy. The show ranfrom 1943 until 1955 and wasthe story of two black comedi-ans. He also never missed theRed Skeleton Show on NBCwhich began in 1941. Red por-trayed several characters on hisshow, with the most famous be-ing the dim-witted cab driverClem Kadiddlehopper.

Another of Pop’s favoriteswas called the Inner Sanctum.It featured one of the mostmemorable openings in radiohistory: an organist hitting achord, a doorknob turning, andthe famous “creaking door”slowly opening. As a matter offact, Pop called the show theCreaking Door. We actually sat

I was demonstrating the fineart of catching soft crawfish andgrampus to a couple of aspiring,adolescent fisherboys the otherday on the lower reach of PaintLick Creek.

Any fisherperson knows thatthese are the ultimate live baitif you are in pursuit of any gamefish that inhabits a Kentuckystream.

There’s a long, wide shoalthere on the lower end of thecreek where the water is onlyabout ankle deep and the cur-rent trickles over a series of flatlimestone rocks about the sizeof turkey platters and maybeand inch or so thick.

The bottom is too rocky touse a seine and the water is tooshallow for the ever-wary smallmouth bass to venture into soit’s about as perfect a place tohide if you are a vulnerable,shedding crawdad or ahellgrammite (which I callgrampus) as there is on thecreek.

But the water is just swiftenough and the bottom justclayey enough that, if you lifta rock up, the water immedi-ately gets muddy and you can’tsee if there’s anything under itor not. Nine times out of tenyour quarry goes skitteringdown stream and crawls up un-der another rock before youhave time to even think aboutgrabbing it.

So, as I explained to myprotegé, the best, if not the onlyeffective way to catch softcraws and grampus is to hunkerdown and use both hands andgently feel back under the rocksand grab anything that moves.This is called noodling. “Whatif they bite you,” one of the boyswanted to know? I explainedthat it wouldn’t hurt much andthat a little pain was a smallprice to pay to tie into some ofthe lunker small mouth andredeyes waiting in the deepholes there under the toweringelms upstream. I promisedthem that a grampus couldn’tbring blood, etc.

After I had fetched three orfour big peeler crawdads and agrampus nearly three incheslong came out latched onto theend of my finger, Robert andJoey got into the act.

“This is actually more funthan fishing,” said Joey as heand Rob were on their kneesand getting big soft crawdadscrawdad from under nearly ev-ery rock. Joey even caught acouple of grampus but Robertslung them away every time onelatched onto him.

Then we came upon a bigflat piece of shale that wasroughly the size of a coffee tabletop. There were little holes

around it with little sand pilesaround them.

“This is the Mother Lode,” Itold the boys. “What I wantyou fellers to do is grab hold ofthe rock and lift it up about sixinches and I’ll do the noodling.

Sure enough, I raked my fin-gers across the bottom of theupturned rock and came outwith 4 grampus.

“WOWWWWW, exclaimedJoey. “ Yuckkkkkkk,” Robertechoed.

I poked around the bottomand came out with two or threemore soft-as-dough crawdadsand by this time we had like 9grampus and probably 30 softcraws. But I told them to liftthe rock a little higher and letme poke around a little more,

No sooner had they lifted therock than I felt something latchonto my thumb. No crawdad orgrampus this and I actually fig-ured it was a turtle so I grabbedas hard as I could and gave ayank. And in one swift jerk,ejected a water snake as bigaround as a corn cob and prob-ably thirty inches long , hang-ing onto my thumb for all it wasworth. and twisting like a baddream apparition.

Rob and Joey dropped therock in unison. The water wasonly 6 inches deep and theycould have waded, but insteadthey walked on it. The splashfrom the dropped rock coveredme from the top of my head, andin the meantime, I was slingingmy arm for all that I was worth.

The snake turned loose andlanded about fifty feet downstream. In the meantime I hadbecome an example of whythere is fecal bacteria in PaintLick Creek as I sat shaken onmy behind in the middle of thestream

Instead of swimming away,the darn snake came slitheringback upstream, swimmingagainst the current at a rapidpace and headed straight to-ward me,ready to continue the

Individual Right of Defense Gaining Popularity

VIEW FROM THE BENCH

It seems that 2005 amend-ments to Florida’s deadly forcestatutes have prompted similarrecent measures in numerousother states. This trend has

peaked thefrustrationof suchgroups asthe BradyCampa ignwho con-t i n u e ,largely with-out success,to urge

stricter gun control laws.Florida’s new law, known

derisively as the “Shoot Firstlaw” or the “make my day law”broaden the right of Florida citi-zens to defend themselvesagainst attack in any locationwhere the victim has a lawfulright to be present. The NRAhas championed passage ofsimilar legislation throughoutthe United States.

As expected, large urbanmedia sources sharply criticizesuch legislation suggesting thatit provides merely another ex-cuse for aggressive individualsto justify the unrestrained use ofdeadly force in an exaggeratedresponse to minor threats. Pro-ponents of similar legislationcite anecdotal evidence of re-buffed attacks by street thugs.

Of course, the truth is prob-ably somewhere in the middle.No doubt, some will abuse suchlaws and presumably be pros-ecuted and punished. And letthere be no doubt, lives will besaved because of the judiciousand lawful use of force in self-defense.

Bloggers are everywhere on

this issue, usually vehementlyfor one side or the other. Oneparticular, though trivial, issueemerged from a recent reviewof these sites which requiresedification: nowhere in the U.S.Constitution is the right to“bare” arms reserved to the citi-zenry!

Kentucky’s deadly force stat-utes have long provided for self-protection only when the defen-dant believes that such force isnecessary to protect himselfagainst death, serious physicalinjury, kidnaping, or sexual in-tercourse compelled by force orthreat. The protection of othersstatute is even more restrictive.

Numerous court cases haveinterpreted these statutes sincetheir enactment and the propri-ety of individual circumstanceswhich prompted criminal pros-ecutions. After all, these stat-utes are legal defenses--some-one has to be charged with acrime before asserting the statu-tory right of self defense. Theultimate decision of whether theuse of deadly force was properis usually the province of thejury once a prosecutor deter-mines that sufficient evidenceexists to support an indictment--a situation no reasonably saneperson wants to find themselvesin.

The right of personal defenseis a compelling issue for Ameri-cans, one deeply rooted in ourheritage and collective psyche.Given the proliferation of newstatutes similar to Florida’s andexpanding laws legitimizing theconcealed carry of deadly weap-ons, it appears that the formerswell of anti-gun legislation haseased, if not altogether reversed.

"Uncle Gene" George Euqene Gray

October 10, 1931- June 27, 2006 I’ll Be Waiting

We have come today to saygoodbye to our father andour brother

He is a special man dear to ourhearts-He is like no other.

For some of us here, he was auncle, a cousin -

And to us all a faithful friend.He was a special ray of sunshine

from the beginning of his lifeuntil the end.

He had laughter, joy, and yes,there was pain.

But never a moment did he evercomplain.

The lives that he touched, wemay never know,

But the testimony he has left us-more precious than gold.

Many years ago, while upon abended knee,

He accepted the Lord, our Sav-ior.

He made a reservation for hisDestiny.

He knew that life was like aflower, soon its beauty fadesaway.

And like a tiny vapor, we are

ENTRY DOORS & STORM DOORS NOW AVAILABLE

here for just a day.He made a commitment; for all

of us to see,And he left it here with us- It is

his Legacy.If he were here with us, right

now, today.These are the words I believe

that he would say."When I closed my eyes in

death, Jordan‚s waters I didsee,

I was not alone- They werewaiting for me.

I saw their faces; loved onesyoung and old,

They were all there- They werewaiting for me.

On the banks of the River, thereI did see,

Our precious Mother-She waswaiting for me.

With her loving smile and out-stretched hand,

She welcomed me home intothe Promise Land.

Her heart‚s desire; us all, she‚dsomeday see

She kept her faith- She waswaiting for me.

We all knew her heart, we allknew her prayer,

"Lord, Jesus, save my children,so they can one day meet methere."

What a glorious sight, with myeyes, I did see,

The morning I left you- She waswaiting for me.

I am just one, there are eight leftyou see,

Will the circle be unbroken,throughout Eternity?

I bid you now; this is my plea-give your hearts to Jesus,

And with Mama we will All be.Oh, the good times down here,

yes we did share,They will not compare, to the

Reunion up There.When you pause to think of me,

perhaps just to ponder,Remember where I am, I am

waiting Yonder.I know your hearts may be

heavy and I know that youwill miss me,

But do not grieve for me; be-cause with you, I will Al-ways be.

It is just for a season and Hiscoming is nigh,

Please make your reservation tomeet me on High.

Dear brothers, dear sisters, andmy dear children too,

I will be waiting....I’ll be wait-ing for You."

In loving memory of"Uncle Gene"

we caught ten keeper smallmouth that we only kept be-cause they had swallowed thebait and released probably fifty.We had a couple dozen redeyeand even more shellcrackers(red ear sunfish) in the onepound range that must have es-caped from a stocked pond backduring high water. We had fourblue catfish each about 20inches, say three pounds eachand four drum (white perch) thateasily topped five pounds each.

Not a bad day on the creek.Probably sixty pounds of liveweight that would render abouttwenty pounds of prime fillets.Good grilling for the Fourth ofJuly we figured.

As we dragged our stringersand fish baskets back downstream at dusk., we passed thebait shoal and the big flat rock .

“You reckon that snake wentback under that rock,” askedJoey and he was ready to turn itover to see.

“You leave that snakealone”, said Robert and he lit-erally shuddered. “The nexttime we go fishing, I’m gonnabuy my own bait or use artifi-cial. “

As for me, I'm gonna stickto noodling under the little rocksthat are no bigger than a turkeyplatter.

Senate Week in ReviewBy Senator Ed Worley

Small businesses -- in manyways the lifeblood ofKentucky's economy -- willsave more than $40 million intaxes each year under a planapproved by lawmakers in spe-cial session this week. We tookonly five working days to ap-prove the plan while also pro-viding tax incentives to helplure a $1 billion clean-coal,zero-emissions power plant toHenderson County, making thisan incredibly efficient and suc-cessful special session.

Gov. Fletcher called the ses-sion last week so we could re-vise portions of his "tax mod-ernization" plan that proved tobe a burden on small businesses.Under the Governor's plan,many small businesses andother groups saw their tax billsgrow dramatically.

Under the fix we approved,businesses with less than $3

million in profits will be exemptfrom the what's called the alter-native minimum calculation(AMC), while businesses withprofits of more than $3 millionbut less than $6 million willhave the AMC gradually phasedin. Certain charities, coopera-tives and other groups likehomeowners associations willbe exempt.

The AMC under theGovernor's plan had proven ex-tremely problematic and evenunfair to many of the state's70,000 small businesses, be-cause it is based on gross re-ceipts or gross profits ratherthan net profits. As a result,some high-volume businesseswith narrow profit margins --and even some businesses thatshowed no net profit at all -- hadseen their tax bills soar. In ad-dition, the corporate tax rate willalso decrease to 6 percent.

In addition, the bill alsoeliminates significant confusioncaused by the Governor's taxplan. It conforms to federal lan-guage on the "pass through" --allowing small business incometo be taxed with an attachmentto the individual return of theowner, as does the federal gov-ernment. Under the Governor'stax modernization, Kentucky nolonger recognized "pass-through"' status, resulting in twovery different tax systems anda great deal of confusion andconsternation among Kentuckytaxpayers.

The second issue taken up bythe special session was tax in-centives to help lure FutureGen,a demonstration and researchfacility focused on clean-coal,zero-emission power, to Ken-tucky. The federal Departmentof Energy is leading the consor-tium that will build the $1 bil-lion facility. FutureGen wouldproduce hydrogen and electric-ity from coal, while capturingcarbon dioxide and containingit underground instead of releas-ing it into the atmosphere. Theresult is a cleaner environment,

a beneficial use for a reclaimedsurface mine on the Green Riverin Henderson County, and un-told economic gains for Ken-tucky.

Seven states have submitted12 bids for the project, with 3-5finalists expected to be namedin July. If Kentucky is one ofthe finalists, several site testswill be conducted to compareour proposal to the others. Thewinning bid should be an-nounced late next year.

Our package could total asmuch as $90 million in tax in-centives. The bill sets up a salestax exemption for the purchaseof materials needed to construct,repair, renovate, or upgradeFutureGen.

It is estimated FutureGenwill generate 1,300 jobs duringits construction phase, and 125-150 high-paying professionaljobs after that. There will alsobe the benefit to related indus-tries — the extra coal that willbe needed for the plant, the min-

ing equipment and other heavymachinery necessary for theplant's operations, and othereconomic sectors — and thevarious spin-offs that couldcome from hydrogen energyand coal gasification.

The simple fact of becomingthe world's center for clean-coaland hydrogen energy researchwould have a positive impact onevery Kentuckian. Our univer-sities would edge closer to theireducational and research goals,and our economy would expandin even unrelated areas becauseof the focus on our area.

Dr. Art McPhee, Professor atthe Associated Mennonite Bibli-cal Seminary, in Elkhart, Indianaand Dr. Ronald K. Crandall, Deanof E. Stanley Jones School ofWorld Mission & Evangelismand a professor at Asbury Theo-logical Seminary in Wilmore,Ky., brought 25 seminary stu-dents to Northside Baptist Churchin Mt. Vernon, Ky. for a class tourJune 16th. Dr. McPhee’s wife,Evie, also accompanied thegroup. The students representeda wide geographical area includ-ing Nigeria, British Columbia,Canada, Virginia, North Carolina,Mississippi, Pennsylvania,Michigan, Texas, Kentucky,Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio, andNew Jersey.

The class tour was the secondtime Dr. McPhee brought stu-dents to Northside as he ended aone-week summer class titled“Turnaround Strategies for LocalChurches.” The course is de-scribed as “help for smallchurches that are plateaued ordeclining and also for those whowant to maintain their church’svitality. The approach is basedon new ways of understandinglocal churches and how theyfunction, and from data fromchurches that have recovered andregained vitality.”

Dr. Larry Martin, MissionsGrowth Team Consultant for theKy. Baptist Convention, Louis-ville, Ky., gave the seminary stu-dents at Northside an overview ofa prayer movement in Kentuckythat began in 1996. “That year,”Martin said, “participants at aMountain Missions Conferencein Oneida were still on theirknees, crying out in desperationto God, two hours after the meet-ing was scheduled to end.” Hesaid that no one knows exactlyhow the prayer began but thoseprayers led to prayer meetingsthat were scheduled in the fivestate parks in Kentucky in 1997.“In 1999, God opened the win-dows of heaven,” Martin said indescribing God’s movement inKentucky.

As a result, many new minis-tries have developed in differentparts of the state but the move-ment has been particularly felt inEastern Kentucky. “Five yearsago,” Martin said, “Eastern Ken-tucky had four ministry centersto distribute food and clothingand building materials. At lastcount, 47 ministry centers, fromfood closets to large ministry cen-

ters, like in Lynch, Ky., are oper-ated throughout Kentucky by lo-cal people. God is doing the hu-manly impossible and it is hap-pening through prayer.”

Mission Service Corps mis-sionary Shirley Cox told the stu-dents the story of Northside Bap-tist Church, which had dwindledto 30 active members six yearsago. Bro. Chad Burdette, whowas called to preach in a drugtreatment facility, has pastoredthe church during a period of ex-tensive growth of the church.New ministries are still emerging,including a large Outreach Min-istry Center that is scheduled tobe under roof in October, In eachof the past two years, NorthsideBaptist Church has baptized over100 new converts. The church’srapid growth has brought recog-nition from associational, stateand national levels of the South-ern Baptist Convention. Cox alsoshowed a video, “Battered toBeauty,” an award-winning filmproduced by Barbara Adams, aBerea College student.

The following day, the semi-nary class visited Meridzo Cen-ter, a multi-faceted ministry inLynch, Ky. operated by MissionService Corps missionariesLonnie and Belinda Riley. Themulti-faceted ministry includesfood and clothing, home repairs,child care, equestrian, literacyand job training. Over 2,000people have accepted Christ sincethe ministry began in 1999. Inaddition to directing a staff of 17full-time volunteer missionariesfrom six states, the couple coor-dinates the work of more than3,000 volunteers each year.

In a letter to the Dean of theAssociated Mennonite BiblicalSeminary, one student who at-tended the class tour wrote, “Wewere inspired as we heard testi-mony after testimony of an-swered prayer, of changed livesand communities which are con-tinuing to change. We are cer-tain God will use this experienceas we practice the presence ofGod in our lives.”

“We were delighted with thepresentations and the hospitalitywe received at Northside andLynch,” Dr. McPhee said. “Ifirmly believe that when studentsmove from their textbooks to ac-tual ministry settings they acquirea far richer understanding ofGod’s Spirit at work through thechurch. This trip is yet anotherconfirmation of that conviction.”

The other case of slipperyelm bark theft occurred in Jack-son County.

Once the bark of slipperyelm tree is removed, the treesoon dies. The life of the tree isessentially cut off once thexylemn and plhloem layers ofthe bark are removed. These in-ner layers of bark provide forthe flow of water and nutrientsthat sustain the tree.

The theft of natural resourcesfrom national forest lands isnothing new. Ginseng has beenillegally removed from publiclands in the eastern UnitedStates for decades, causing se-rious decline and even extirpa-tion of this plant in some forestareas. Other forest productscommonly removed from na-tional forest lands include tim-ber, mosses and lichens, wild-flowers and rocks.

Under the 36 Code of Fed-eral regulations, “removing anytimber, tree or other forest prod-uct, except as authorized by aspecial-use authorization, tim-ber sale contract, or Federal lawor regulation” is prohibited(36CFR, Section 261.6h). “Vio-lations of this code are a federaloffense and will be prosecutedin federal court,” said PatrolCaptain Dennis Whitehead withthe Forest Service.

To help prevent the illegaltaking of important natural re-sources on national forest lands,the public is encouraged to re-port the theft of forest productsto their nearest Forest Serviceoffice. For more information,the public may contact the for-est headquarters of the DanielBoone National Forest at 859-745-3100.

TheFamily Room

By: Dr. Roy Don Whitehead

The modern world is tre-mendously different from theworld of fifty years ago. Forthose of us who rememberback that far, we rememberthose days when modern con-veniences did not exist. Manyof these are things we now takefor granted. They are so mucha part of our lives that I won-der how we got along withoutthem.

1. When I was a kid, we didnot have air conditioning in ourhouse. All we had were a fewshade trees, and yet I do not re-member fretting about the heat.Perhaps this was because kidsjust do not notice these sorts ofthings or perhaps I just did notknow any different. It may betrue that “you can’t miss whatyou never had.” Today, Iwould give up a lot of thingsbefore I would part with my airconditioner.

2. Computers are a daily

part of many people‚s lives in themodern world. I can rememberlearning to type on a manualtypewriter. (For you youngsters,that‚s the kind of thing you seein movies made in the forties andfifties.) It took a firm keystrokejust to make the key strike thepaper. In my high school typingclass we even had one electrictypewriter!

Yes, we were uptown! Stu-dents took turns typing on it, justso we would know what it feltlike.

3. And what about copy ma-chines? We continually run tothe copy machine these days. Ifthe copy machine breaks, wholeoffices come to a standstill. Inthe old days we used carbon pa-per. If you missed the experienceof making five carbon copies ona manual typewriter, be thankful.Making a mistake meant that youhad to stop and individually erasethe mistake on each page before

you could continue. It tookawhile.

4. We had never heard ofvideo cassette recorders, CDs orDVDs. Records were played onthe stereo with the old LP recordalbums. These gradually woreout and would skip and hiss asthey aged. If you wanted towatch a movie, you had to waituntil it came to the local movietheater. There were no videorental stores for movie-goers.

5. How many storage build-ings are in your town thesedays? Where I live it seemsthere are thousands ̂ and almostall of them are rented. In theold days only businesses hadwarehouses. Now individualfamilies rent warehouse space.What did we do before storagebuildings? Did we have moreroom at home to store stuffthen? Do we have more stuffnow than then? My hunch isthat we have more stuff and justneed a place to put it all.

6. Does your car have airconditioning? Can you imag-ine traveling without it? WhenI was a child, my grandparentslived in the southern part ofGeorgia. My dad always got hisvacation in July. Do you knowhow hot it is in an un-air condi-tioned car with two adults andtwo children in Georgia in July?In the days before I-75, the drivetook sixteen hours. My sisterand I only barely avoided do-ing major bodily harm to eachother. I can only imagine howmy parents must have felt.

7. Talked to anyone on yourcell phone lately? Cell phoneshave both advantages and dis-advantages. You can call fromanywhere, anytime, which is es-pecially helpful when your carbreaks down, and you arestranded in the middle of no-where. The disadvantage is thatyou never have a moment’speace. Anyone who carries acell phone as a part of his job isalways at someone’s beck andcall. If you younger folks canimagine this, when I was achild, we had no phone at all!We walked to the neighbors touse the phone. That was quitea chore but, on the positive side,no tele-marketers ever called useither. And we were neverawakened in the middle of thenight by a wrong number.

"Children are our most vul-nerable citizens and one of theforemost duties of Kentuckyjudges is to see that they are pro-tected," said Chief Justice Lam-bert. "While Kentucky is mak-ing progress in moving fosterchildren toward safe and perma-nent homes, there is alwaysmore we all can do to improvethis process with due regard forthe rights of the children andtheir parents. This conference isdesigned to give judges practi-cal ideas on how to handle thesesensitive cases and achieve anoutcome that best serves thechildren."

Jefferson County FamilyCourt Judge Patricia WalkerFitzGerald and Christian CountyDistrict Judge James G. Adamsserved as co-chairs for the con-ference.

Several presenters from theNational Leadership Summitjoined Kentucky judges, socialservices professionals and offi-cials from the Cabinet for Healthand Human Services to serve asfaculty for the conference. Guestspeakers included Judge Will-iam Byars Jr., director of theSouth Carolina Department ofJuvenile Justice; Drs. Otto Kaakand James Clark, primary inves-tigators for the ComprehensiveAssessment and Training Ser-vices Project, University of Ken-tucky; and Commissioner TomEmberton Jr., Department forCommunity Based Services,Kentucky Cabinet for Healthand Family Services.

The Administrative Office ofthe Courts (AOC) supports theactivities of more than 3,500Kentucky Court of Justice em-ployees, including the electedoffices of justices, judges andcircuit court clerks. The Educa-tion Services Department of theAOC provides continuing edu-cation to these elected officialsthrough conferences and judicialcolleges.

What is Steer Wrestling?Steer Wrestling is probably

the most exciting event in therodeo arena. When a man dropsfrom a running horse onto thesteer, stops the steer and throwshim to the ground. Spectatorshave seen skill overcomeheavily weighted odds.

The secret is this, as the cow-boy catches up to the steer, hereaches with his right handgrabs the right horn and as hishorse speeds by the steer thecowboy gets the horn in thecrook of his right elbow. At thesame time, his left hand pushesdown on the other horn whilehis horse veers off to the left.The cowboy’s heels drop aheadand at a 45 degree angle to thepath the steer is taking.

The cowboy digs in hisheels, turns the steer’s head, andpulls it toward the center of aleft hand turn. As the steerstops, his rear having swungaround, the cowboy grabs theanimal’s nose with his left handand with this sensitive hold,throws the steer onto his side.In addition to the steer wrestler,a second man, the hazer, isalongside the steer and to theonlooker all he seems to do isretrieve the wrestlers horse af-ter the jump is made. Actually,he watches for mishaps whichhappen if the steer slams on his

brakes or veers away from thewrestler or sometimes called thedogger. The hazer has to fore-see these possibilities and cor-rect them, often in a split sec-ond. This event is judged on thefastest time.

Mt. Vernon leads regionwith PRIDE volunteers

The City of Mt. Vernon won the trophy for Greatest VolunteerParticipation by A City in the 2006 PRIDE Spring Cleanup.Mayor Clarice R. Kirby, center, accepted the city’s award fromCongressman Hal Rogers and Kelsey Marie Holcomb, TourSouthern and Eastern Kentucky’s Miss Redbud Trails 2006.

The electronic map which will be in service completely by the end of the summer in the 911office is shown above. The dot on the right hand side of the map is what will show up, giving theexact location of the person calling for help from a residential or business phone, when En-hanced 911 is in full operation. 911 Director Bonnie Roark said that eventually an emergencycall being made from a cell phone will be pinpointed within a few feet.

Mt. Vernongets $100,000to redo oldstorm drains

The City of Mt. Vernon hasbeen notified that they will re-ceive a $100,000 grant to redothe storm drains on NewcombAvenue on the side of the newRockcastle Hospital addition.

Mayor Clarice Kirby saidthe storm drains would becleaned out or replaced asneeded, along with any water/sewer lines located on the sideof the new expansion to Rich-mond Street and then the side-walk will be repaired.

The $100,000 came from aline-item authorization inHouse Bill 380 CommunityDevelopment bill recentlypassed by the Kentucky Gen-eral Assembly. The funds willcome from the state’s generalfund.

“We needed this done andthe hospital nor the city had themoney to do it,” Kirby said. “Ireally appreciate the efforts ofSenator Ed Worley and Rep.Danny Ford in getting thisproject authorized.”

Kirby also said the roadaround the present emergencyroom at the hospital, would bereworked and straightened out,using property presently ownedby the hospital.

Heavy rain last Wednesday caused flooding in the Brodhead area (or as one pundit put it) “canyou say clean the storm drains out!” This photo was taken in front of Dairy Mart in Brodhead.A car had to be hauled out of a ditch when they turned off 150 and thought they were pullinginto a parking lot on the corner of 150 and Dug Hill Road, but instead wound up in a deep ditch,nose first.

County officials and 911have received about 250 com-plaints about the change in roadnames in the county, whichabout 7,000 residents were no-tified of by letter during the lastweek.

“Harrison County, which hasabout the same population wedo, received 2,500 complaintswhen they went through thisprocess, so we are pleased,”County Judge/Executive BuzzCarloftis said Wednesday.

The changes were necessaryto allow 911 to go to an En-hanced system which willgreatly facilitate emergency ser-vice workers when respondingto a call for help.

Under the Enhanced 911system, which is expected to bein operation by the end of sum-mer, according to 911 DirectorBonnie Roark, when a callcomes in for help, the secondthe phone is answered at 911,the location of the caller showsup on an electronic map in theiroffice.

“We now have to have direc-tions from the caller as to theirlocation. If you are having aheart attack and can’t speak, thecall has to be traced and it takes22 minutes to get the informa-tion from Alltel,” Roark said.

“It was a chore (getting newnames for the road),” Carloftissaid. He went on to point outthat there were 17 roads in thecounty with Kirby in their

During Tuesday’s regularmeeting of the RockcastleCounty Fiscal Court, CountyAttorney Bill Reynolds broughtup a subject that he felt the courtshould be considering -- theconstruction of a new state-of-the-art jail, to, hopefully, beused as a regional jail should thestate decide to go to that format.

Reynolds told the court thathe felt sure the change wouldbe made at some point by thestate and Rockcastle should bethinking about getting a headstart on possibly being chosenas a regional jail site.

Reynolds envisions con-structing a new jail, somewherearound Hwy. 461 near the in-terstate, which would giveRockcastle a leg up in beingchosen as a regional jail site ifthe state decides to go to thatformat. “We could fill up thefacility now because of over-crowding in other jails and itwould create more jobs forRockcastle countians,”Reynolds told the court.

Rockcastle County JailerJames Miller agreed withReynolds, saying he had beentold by the state that, ifRockcastle had more beds

Police Chiefalerts citizensto rash ofburglariesand thefts

Several burglaries of homesand thefts from unlocked ve-hicles have been occurring inMt. Vernon over the past coupleof weeks, according to Mt.Vernon Police Chief TerryJackson.

“We have been called to sev-eral locations through the cityfor break-ins of unlocked ve-hicles from which change, pre-scription drugs and other itemshave been taken, many in theWilliams Street area,” Jacksonsaid.

Jackson also reported thathis department has respondedto several burglaries, in thesame area. In one incident,thieves cut open a screen doorand entered a residence onWood Street, taking cash fromthe residence. The main door ofthe home was not locked. Therewas also another attempted bur-glary, on the same night, onGreenway Drive. Both of thevictims were at home.

On Wednesday, city policealso responded to a break-in atthe Snack Shack on RichmondStreet and Bradley’s BarberShop on School Street. At bothlocation, thieves forced entry,stealing money and property.

“I encourage everyone tolock their cars and residencesat all times and nothing of valueshould be left in plain sight,”Jackson said.

If anyone has any informa-tion about these incidents,please contact the Mt. VernonPolice Department at 256-5372or 256-2121. “We don’t wantyour name, just the informa-tion. If there is enough infor-mation to make an arrest andget a conviction, there will bea reward issued,” Jackson said.

Mt. Vernon led the region’scities with 309 volunteers par-ticipating in the 2006 PRIDESpring Cleanup, which washeld April 8-22. Mayor ClariceR. Kirby accepted a trophy to-day from Congressman Harold“Hal” Rogers (KY-05) andKelsey Marie Holcomb, TourSouthern and EasternKentucky’s Miss Redbud Trails2006.

available, they would see to itthat we got state prisoners to fillthem.”

Reynolds pointed out to thecourt that due to good manage-ment skills by Miller and histeam and the fiscal court work-ing with Miller that the jail wasalready showing a profit. Hesaid that a larger jail would bean economic boon for thecounty and give the county anedge for a regional jail site. “It’sgoing to happen (regional jails),make no mistake about that,”Reynolds told the court.

Magistrate Billy McKinneysaid there was also some talk bythe state about state-owned jailswhich would not be such aneconomic boon for the county.“The state pays us $32 a day tohouse state prisoners and there’snothing to say they won’tcharge us $50 a day to housecounty prisoners in a state-owned prison.”

County Judge/ExecutiveBuzz Carloftis also pointed outthat Rockcastle countians were“very lucky.” “All around us,fiscal courts are having to passtaxes to support their jail andambulance service. In ClayCounty, the fiscal court had topass an occupational tax whichbrings in $800,000 a year.$500,000 goes to the jail and$300,000 to the ambulance ser-vice,” Carloftis noted.

Carloftis said that, inRockcastle County, the fiscalcourt subsidizes the ambulance

service to the tune of $3,000 amonth and the jail is virtuallyself-supporting.

At this time, the jail’s bankbalance was in the red a littleover $18,000 at the end of June,but Jailer James Miller said thiswas because the state is twomonths behind in paying the jailover $100,000 owed for hous-ing state prisoners. “The state isevidently holding up payment tolocal jails in order to make theirbooks balance at the end of thefiscal year,” Miller told thecourt.

Reynolds asked the court tokeep his proposal in mind.“There’s no hurry, at this point,it’s just something to thinkabout,” Reynolds told the court.

In other action, the court ac-cepted PVA Margaret Offutt’sSummary of Real Property TaxRoll Changes.

The report shows an increasein residential property of$807,600 for a total of$187,914,037; a decrease infarm property of $62,600 for atotal of $70,485,660 and an in-crease of $418,700 in commer-cial, industrial, telecommunica-tion and leasehold interests to$57,176,897 for a total real es-tate assessment of$315,576,594. The Summaryalso shows an increase of$80,000 in the total telecommu-nication assessment (cell phonetowers) for a total of $534,308.

“The PRIDE initiative willsink or swim depending onwhether or not each of us takesa personal claim on making ourregion a cleaner, healthier placeto live,” said CongressmanRogers. “I am really proud ofthe way individuals and com-munities have banded togetherto tackle the mountains of gar-bage that litter our beautifulland and waterways.

Carloftis said names changescame from historic names whenpossible, from old county andtopo maps.

More About Skin CancersPresented by Dr. David Brabon

Sun-induced skin cancers are common and well-known, butthe skin can also show signs when there are various cancers ofinternal organs.

One of the most common of these is Paget's Disease of thebreast. Here, a malignancy below the skinextends to the skin surface and causes aweeping, itchy, eczema-like rash of thenipple.

Occasionally a person will develop adarkening of the skin in the armpits which iscalled acanthosis. This is often associatedwith tumors of the hormone-producingglands. It can also be seen with benign tu-mors as well as in people who are obese, have a family historyof this trait, and in some hormonal abnormalities.

Dark spots called keratoses often develop on the backs andchests of people as they grow older. Having a few is normal, butwhen a great number develop suddenly they can be associatedwith cancers of the stomach, colon, or female reproductive tract.

Hives is another skin reaction that can be related to cancers.Although hives are most commonly caused by allergic reactionsor viral infections, they can be seen in cancers such as Hodgkin'sDisease, leukemia and others.

You can not expect to remember all the skin changes associ-ated with cancers, but you should see your doctor for any un-usual or persistent changes in the skin. He can determine if abiopsy is needed or if other tests are appropriate.

The skin should never be ingored--it is the easiest organ tocheck for cancer. You should check for any changes once a monthand report any findings to your doctor.

This former youngster fromRockcastle County has beentransformed into a true “rockhound.” When I was a little boy,my brother Al and some of hisfriends allowed me to go withthem on a picnic to RockcastleRiver, and I was fascinated withthe small, river-worn, smoothpebbles that lined the bank ofthe water. Ever since that time,I have been collecting smallrocks that strike my fancy.

In elementary school (fifthgrade) I learned from myteacher Ms. Mitchell how rockswere formed and how ex-tremely old they can be. Theidea that some of my stoneswere on the earth when Jesuswalked the land amazes me. Ioften think of the possiblepeople who might have col-lected the same rocks that I nowown and wonder who theymight have been.

When I was a teenager, Istarted picking up rocks fromplaces that I had visited. I con-tinue to do that even today. Mystones range in size from golfball to football size. When I wasyoung, I thought I would re-member where a particularstone was found. Now that I ama senior, I usually write on thebottom of each rock tellingwhere it was collected. Mymemory is not what it used tobe and if I didn’t record theirhistory, in a few months I mighthave no idea of their origin.Some of my favorites are thosethat I brought home fromAlaska, the Yukon, British Co-lumbia, Montana, Idaho, andLake Superior (one of my pre-

ferred places to collect stones).� Many of my close friendsknow how I feel about rocks andwill bring them back to mewhen they visit interestingplaces. My collection includesgifts brought from England,France, Hawaii, and Ireland. Alocal gentleman recently gaveme a polished stone from theRed River that he had found. Itis a special piece of my collec-tion. Another friend, Shelia,noticed a wonderful rock in acreek in Alaska and carried itover 5,000 miles to me. My wifechose one recently from thebanks of the Rio Grande River;it sits on my desk. Sometimes,when someone I know is goingto an interesting place, I will askhim to pick up a rock for me.After all, the stones are free.

The one that I prize the mostwhich I personally chose camefrom a glacier stream in DenaliNational Park (Alaska). It is asoftball-sized, red, perfectlyoval, water-tossed smoothstone. My wife and I were walk-ing near the stream when I dis-covered it. I also found a golfball-shaped rock while visitinga now closed gold mine inAlaska. It has a small chip onone side, exposing some realgold inside. What a find! Eachof my individual specimens re-minds me of a place, a specialtime in my life, or a specialfriend. I sometimes drop one ofthem into my pocket so that Ican be reminded of those spe-cial blessings in my life. �

Because my collection onlyhas meaning to me, I think that

At this time of year, it’s sohard to keep up with all of thehappenings. There’s kinfolkcoming and going on their va-cations, your own vacation,birthday parties, cookouts, lawnand garden projects, weddings,and then comes along theFourth of July. As you can see,this is a really busy time of theyear.

The Fourth fell on a Tuesdaythis year. Most of the celebrat-ing began on Friday night, andcontinued through the Fourth onTuesday. We didn’t plan to do alot for the holiday this year. Wehad hoped for a quiet and relax-ing experience. About the big-gest event on our schedule wasgoing to see the fireworks dis-play at Lake Reba in Richmond.It has become a tradition withus because it seems to last a littlelonger than most displays, andthe reflection of the lights in thewater we find particularly beau-tiful.

The Saturday night duringthe holiday weekend, Stanleyand I thought we would cel-ebrate by going out to dinner.However, we had been busy allday and by dinnertime, and wewere dog-tired. I had been gonemost all day to my church ser-vice at Lexington. We both hadbeen to London to visit my rela-tives. Stanley had been workingin the yard, and mowing most

all day. We both had a very latelunch, and snacks on top of that.About eight, Stanley took ashower and got dressed, andthen suggested that we go outfor a late supper.

We headed out to eat. Wewere already out in the car andbacking out of the drive when Icommented that I really wasn’tvery hungry. Stanley stoppedthe car, and he was having thesame thoughts. Each of us wasgoing because we thought theother wanted to go. Stanley sug-gested that we just stay home,but I said as long as we’ve gonethis far, let’s go somewhere.

Lil’s Restaurant isn’t very farfrom our house so that is wherewe ended up. We figured whydrive a long way if you aren’treally hungry. We got there andordered grilled chicken sand-wiches, chili buns, tater tots,fried mushrooms, two orders ofcole slaw (she makes about thebest I’ve ever tasted), and twolarge Cokes. We had to talk eachother out of ordering dessert.Thankfully, we weren’t too hun-gry. Ha-ha.

As it turns out, we were veryglad to have gone to Lil’s asthere was an atmosphere therethat couldn’t be found in manyeateries. As I sat there and ate, Iobserved a lot of things andthought to myself, now this is

Cheating in sports is nothingnew. Who can forget the majorpoints shaving scandals of old?Is there anyone unaware of thepresent day investigations into

steroid usewithin majorleague base-ball, com-petitive cy-cling, or in-ternationalsoccer? Buto u t d o o rsports?

C o m eon--we’re the good ol’ boys! Wecan run a trotline, skin a buck,everything ala Hank Williams,Jr. Who would cheat at huntingor fishing? Yet it seems thatdeception is increasingly com-monplace as prize packages andcommercial opportunities in-crease for successful outdoorenthusiasts.

Tournament fishermen are alltoo familiar with the specter oframpant cheating. We jokeabout it before take off and atthe weigh-in. Turns out though,it’s no laughing matter. TwoKentucky men were recentlycharged in one of the most com-mon methods used in bass tour-nament cheating. Seems likethey were accused of stashingfive bass in a fish basket priorto the start of a tournament andthen presenting them for weigh-in. Each was charged withfelony theft.

It should be expected thatwith tournament prizes rou-tinely totaling tens of thousandsof dollars, some fishermen per-mit greed and dishonesty to sup-plant notions of fair play. In a2005 Louisiana tournament,observers watched one Missouriangler tethering pre-caught bassto a stump. They then markedthe fish, which were weighed inover two days at the Bassmastersponsored event.

Fishing cheats are not con-fined to this technique or to basstournaments. Crooked anglerscommonly stuff fish with metalweights as is alleged in EastCoast striper and kingfish tour-naments. In 2003, a local fish-erman was disqualified forstocking his side of a small lakewith extra fish prior to a fishingrodeo. Anglers in Californiawere caught snagging fish dur-ing a bass tournament when thefish gathered to forage on cray-fish at a small run-in. Two Mis-sissippi men were arrested for“telephone fishing”--using aphone concealed inside a snuffcan to shock fish so they couldbe scooped from the water! Anda husband and wife from Or-egon were fined and placed onprobation after buying a chinooksalmon from another angler andweighing it in at a local sport-

ing goods store’s tournament.I can’t speak for all

outdoorsmen, but it’s safe to saythat the vast majority of all an-glers are appalled when suchbehavior occurs. Not only ischeating immoral and an embar-rassment to the sport, but it ispatently illegal. All states havefish and game regulations whichprohibit such practices, butsome fishermen are beginning tolearn that the penal codes applyas well. Weighing in illegallycaught fish is no different thanany other artifice used to bilksomeone out of money.

Sadly, sometimes that foulfishy odor you smell around thedock is not attributable to thefish, but that guy taking homethe new boat, motor and trailer.Cheaters would do well to re-member what drew them to fish-ing in the first place, rather thangiving in to greed.

Oh man!Summer squash is in season!Loretta and I have pigged

out on baby zucchini andgolden crookneck squash forseven consecutive days.

Soon we should have anample supply in our own gar-den, but we received a hugebagful from neighbor, DebbieDale, who read about my gar-dening woes in the paper and,out of pity, decided to sharewith us some of her early har-vest.

So crisp and dainty becausethey were picked just when theblossoms were ready to fall off.Not only does she know how togrow them, but Debbie Daleunderstands the fine art of har-vesting early squash just whenthey reach perfection.

In other words, a zucchinilarger than a corn cob iswayyyy overgrown. Ditto fora crookneck that you can’t eatwhole in one single bite.

Loretta has sautéed them ina bit of white wine, then slowlycooked them, mixed withchopped onions and green pep-pers for three or four minutesin a tad of olive oil until theywere hot enough to melt thegrated provolone or mozzarellacheese she sprinkles on.

A couple or three leaves ofchopped fresh basil and/orGreek oregano vary the taste.My buddy, Ralph King, gave usa huge, fresh German Garlic

bulb from his patch; one cloveof which completely alters thesquash sensation.

The trick to baby squash, ifyou insist on cooking them, isto let them get just hot enoughto melt cheese and still staycrisp.

Personally, I am perfectlyhappy with a little bowl ofchunky bleu cheese salad dress-ing and raw squash. Sprinkleon a little fresh ground blackpepper and dip and munch. Youcan make your own bleu cheesedressing but it’s really difficultto beat the stuff already bottledby Kraft if you can beat the ex-piration date by a month or two.

And, of course you can alterit with basil, rosemary, thyme,summer savory or even mint ifyou have an herb bed.

I figure my first squash cropis about five days away fromblooming which means I shouldhave plenty by the week end.

I like to batter dip newsquash blossoms and fry thembefore there’s any sign of fruitwhen they are so sticky withnectar that they literally stick tomy hands.

Please check beforeleaving flowers...Dear Editor,

The family of ChrystalSmith Lamb would appreciateit if friends or those that wereacquaintances with her wouldcontact her mother or otherbrothers and sisters before plac-ing any flowers, especially liveones that have to be planted,since there are restrictions bythe cemetery care givers.

Since Chrystal’s death, 14months ago, we have visited hergrave site and found it clutteredwith live and artificial flowers,making the grave look messy.We understand that you are try-ing to show love and respect butthe caregivers of the cemeteryhave asked us to stop placing somuch on the grave, thinking itwas us that was doing it. Theysaid it was making it muchharder to mow and trim aroundthe graves.

There has been grass seed

sown on the grave site and ev-ery time afterwards, it has beendestroyed by the digging andalso placing of wood chipswhich smothers the grass out.

Also, we have had variousitems placed on the grave whichcosts money, but more out oflove for her. Her daughterplaced an angel on her mom’sgrave this past Memorial Week-end and, within two weeks, ithad been removed from thegrave. We are constantly find-ing things being removed or thegrave being cluttered with toomany flowers, both live and ar-tificial and we are having to pullthem up and discard them.

All that we are asking is toplease contact her mother,Loretta Smith or Famey Hellardat 606-256-0560 or other imme-diate family members beforeplacing anything on her gravesite, out of respect for the fam-ily who are still grieving overour loss.

Please let our daughter restin peace.

wine---the Holland Housecooking wine is perfectly fine---just a touch of salt and thenbeat the mixture to a froth witha whisk or mixer.

Pinch the blossoms off thevine at the stem base wholeand don’t wash them unlessyou are really finicky. Thetrick is to get them from vineto batter to frying pan in amatter of minutes and youdon’t want to wash off the nec-tar..

In a regular frying pan, heatmaybe a fourth cup of olive oilat medium to medium high un-til it sizzles. You want the panto be well coated and the oil tobe like one eighth of an inch,but no more than that deep.The amount you use will de-pend, of course, on the size ofyour frying pan.

Hold the blossoms by thestem and gently dip them in thebatter three or four times untilthey are well coated. Holdthem upside down for half aminute and let the excess bat-ter drip back into the bowl thenplace them into the hot oil. Bythe time you’ve done three, thefirst one will be ready to flipover. They need to fry about aminute and a half on both sidesuntil they are a bit crisp andgolden brown.

Add a bit more oil and keepon frying until you run out ofbatter. This recipe will doabout nine blossoms and cre-ate one of the most deliciousand certainly different entreesyou have ever experienced.

In the meantime, keep aneye on your squash patch.

If you hear the dogs bark-ing late at night and you see ashadowy figure running fulltilt down the road, it meansthat your sorry neighbor whodidn’t raise a garden has readthis column and can’t getenough squash blossoms tosatisfy his appetite.

what America is all about. No,it wasn’t a lot of patriotic flag-waving, colorful fireworks dis-plays, or even a John PhilipSousa march, but nonetheless,this was Americana. It is one ofthe fibers of one of the remnantsthat bind this entire nation;small communities coming to-gether to enjoy each others com-pany and to celebrate the free-doms often taken for granted.

The atmosphere wasfriendly, reminiscent of a goodfriend or neighbor’s housewhere you are fortunate enoughto be a back-door guest. Patronswere talking from table to tableas being the small communitythis is, most everyone knewmost everyone else. Stanleycommented that it remindedhim of the old sitcom, Cheers,and started humming, “Some-times you want to go where ev-erybody knows your name.”Laughter was abundant. As theregulars would enter the estab-lishment, a hearty “Hello” and“How are you?” welcomedthem. Upon leaving, some ofthe female patrons gave Lil abig hug, and each said, “Y’allcome see me real soon.”

Oh, that intoxicating aroma!The smell of good old-fash-ioned American hamburgers,hot dogs, fries, onion rings, andother foods permeated the air.The smell greeted you out onthe sidewalk, and bade you tocome in.

I noticed over in one cornerof the restaurant there was ashowcase of memorabilia fromthe Livingston High School.There were fading photos ofvarious sports teams, tarnishingtrophies, and other almost for-gotten relics of high school erasgone by. Now, just how Ameri-can is that? This showcasehoused the torch of youth, theinnocence of young love, andthe hopes and dreams of a brightfuture.

We got in a little rest and re-laxation during the weekend.One of the most relaxing expe-riences was attending a London

Community Orchestra concert.The orchestra played severalpatriotic selections, as well as afew numbers that were popularduring the 1920s, -30s, and –40s. They put on an exceptionalperformance, and we enjoyed itvery much.

As it turned out, we didn’tmake it to Lake Reba for thefireworks. We thought that itmight rain at any minute, and itwas just too far to travel for arain-out. We ended up over atthe Sigmon Farm for their fire-works display. Besides,Stanley’s brother Larry was do-ing the sound for that event andwe got to hear a few tunes thathe played.

About dark, the fireworksbegan. You could hear the ech-oes of the mortars throughoutthe countryside. The flash of themulticolored lights is outstand-ing. However, I think that all theexcitement was rather disturb-ing to the farm animals. Youcould hear the bleating of thegoats, and shortly I heard some-thing hastily coming throughthe ankle-high grass out in thepasture-field where we hadparked. Out of the darkness ap-peared a small herd of cattle thathad gotten spooked by the com-motion. They probably won’tgive anything but buttermilk fordays. I guess you could say thatthe Fourth ended with a bigbang for humans and animalsalike.


Words of HopeWouldn't it be nice if the walk of life was on a smooth, perfectlylevel track? Unfortunately the terrain of this world is sometimesrough and rocky with obstacles and hurdles in our way. At times

these obstacles can get us down, but we need to remember theencouraging words that Jesus says in John 16:33. "These things haveI spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye

shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome theworld." We invite you to join us at Cornerstone Fellowship Church,

a place to find peace through Jesus in your daily walk.

“My friends tell me that I amtoo negative,” Zelda reports.(All characters are fictitious.)“When someone asks me how Iam, I tell them that I am surviv-ing. Is that being negative?”

Here is what has happenedin Zelda’s life in the past year.Is she being negative? Her hus-band was diagnosed with can-cer less than a year ago. Aftersurgery and radiation, his prog-nosis is good, but he still hassome side effects from the sur-gery. Soon after his surgery,Zelda’s mother died after a longillness. “It was Mom’s time togo,” Zelda said, “but I still hatedto lose her.”

On top of all this her daugh-ter developed a mysterious ail-ment that doctors could notidentify. She al most died be-fore it was finally diagnosed.Treatment is helping but she hasa long way to go.

“That just about finished meoff,” Zelda added. “I was de-pressed for a month afterward,so that when I say that I am sur-viving, I figure I am doingpretty well. I don‚t mean it tobe a negative statement at all.”

Sometimes survival is quitean accomplishment. When afamily is hit by a run of badluck, as Zelda’s has been, it cantake all the emotional and spiri-tual resources the family has tosurvive. Families cope in dif-ferent ways. Here is how Zeldahas made it through.

“Walking helps me,” Zeldasays. “I walk three or four milessix days a week. It is a greattension releaser for me. I let mymind wander while I walk. Ialso sleep better now that I amwalking. I had a lot of troublegoing to sleep while my hus-band was so sick, but afterwalking three miles, I usuallydrop right off. I’m not wakingup at 3:00 a.m. any more ei-ther.”

“I wish my walking wouldhelp me lose some weight, but

that hasn’t happened yet,” Zeldalaments. “One of the negativeways I have coped is by eatingmore. My favorite food is do-nuts, and I have had to stopkeeping them in the house, be-cause I would eat six at a time.The walking has helped me firmup, so that I’m not as flabby, andI like that. When I can get myeating under control, I’m sure Iwill lose some of this extraweight.”

Zelda also recommendsyoga. “Yoga has been aroundfor many centuries,” Zelda ex-plained. “It is an ancient exer-cise that involves stretching,breathing and balance. It isgood for the body in all kindsof ways, and it helps me to re-lax. After an hour of yoga, I feelso much better. I have moreenergy and I am calmer. I at-tend a class twice a week, and Irecommend it to anyone,whether you are enduring a lotof stress or not.”

“I have just started seeing amassage therapist,” she added.“That is a wonderful experi-ence! She has helped my bodyso much. I have convinced myhusband to go too.”

“My journal has alsohelped,” Zelda adds. “I keep ajournal of events and feelings,and I write almost every day.This is the way I pray. After myhusband was diagnosed withcancer, he began calling it myCancer Journal. In it I keepnotes about all that has hap-pened, and I also record myfeelings from that day. Some-times those feelings are verydark, but I almost always feelbetter after putting them on pa-per.”

Zelda also says that the sup-port of her friends has helpedher make it through. “I getflowers occasionally and thecard just says ‘from yourfriends.’ I don’t know who issending them, but I certainlyappreciate it.”

University of theCumberlands, located inWilliamsburg, Kentucky, is aprivate liberal arts college inits 117th year of operation.UC offers four undergraduatedegrees in 37 major fields ofstudy, 30 minors and nine pre-professional programs.

Rebecca Cummins, a seniorat Rockcastle County HighSchool, was among the morethan 1,400 high school studentsfrom across the United Stateswho visited the nation's capitalas part of the National RuralElectric Cooperative's Wash-ington Youth Tour Program inJune. Selected on the basis ofan essay contest, Cummins wassponsored by Jackson EnergyCooperative.

Each year in June, an action-filled week provides highschool students opportunities tolearn first-hand what it is liketo be involved in politics, com-munity service and today's so-cial issues. The theme of the2006 Youth Tour was "Commit-ment to Community." High-lights included meeting theirelected representatives in theU.S. House and Senate to dis-cuss the process of governmentand issues of the day, and in-creasing their knowledge of co-operative electric utilities andAmerican history.

The Rural Electric YouthTour has been a joint effort of

local electric co-ops, such asJackson Energy, the KentuckyAssociation of Electric Coop-eratives, and the National Ru-ral Electric Cooperative Asso-ciation, Arlington, Va.

Cummins said she had theexperience of a lifetime work-ing with peers from other statesand the NRECA staff during theWashington stay.

"While in Washington, D.C.,I met people from all corners ofthe country and visited histori-cal monuments, museums andCapitol Hill," she said. "What Ilearned on the Youth Tourmakes me proud to be anAmerican and to show thatAmerica's young people are in-volved and care about this coun-try and our communities."

In addition to taking in thesights and sounds of the nation'scapital, all the state groups con-vened for Rural Electric YouthDay on June 12 to learn frompublic figures and other inspi-rational speakers. Since 1964,the nation's cooperative electricutilities have sponsored over40,000 high school students forthe Youth Tour program. Formore information, visit http://youthtour.kaec.org.

the tax bills remain at 1% amonth, plus a 20% attorney’sfee and an attorney’s fee im-posed by the company whichpurchased the bills.

Magistrate Billy McKinneysaid that purchasing the tax billsdoes not mean the property canbe foreclosed on and, of course,the landowner has first chanceat buying the tax bill back.

The $77,690 was divided upamong the taxing entities in thecounty and the state with theschool board getting the biggesthunk. For June, the school boardgot $38,861 in delinquent taxescollected from a total of$92,000 collected. The county’sshare was $9,000, Houk said.

Houk said another companyhad asked for a list of delinquenttax bills for possible purchase.She also told the court that inMadison County, over $200,000in delinquent tax bills were pur-chased.

Public Meeting forQuail Park

Judge Carlolftis also re-minded the court that there willbe a public hearing Monday,July 17 at 6 p.m. at Quail Com-munity Park regarding the grantapplications that have beenmade for improvements andrenovations to the park.

Carloftis encouraged allmagistrates to attend the hear-ing and to follow up with callsto state and federal representa-tives and the Governor’s Officeof Local Development to ex-press their support of theproject.

Over $200,000 has been ap-plied for in grants for variousprojects at the park.

allowed in road names, bythose who decide these things,because it confuses the elec-tronic locating system,” hesaid. The same thing withsimilar-sounding names, roadsnamed after people and, ofcourse, duplicate names.”

Hwy. 490 wasn’t the onlystate route to be changed, theyall were. Hwy. 461 has becomeLake Cumberland Road andU.S. 25 is now WildernessRoad, South Wilderness, southof the courthouse and NorthWilderness going the otherway. This road was named byRep. Harold Rogers, Carloftissaid.

And, a road name that hasstirred controversy in the past- Negro Town Hill Road, hasbeen changed to the Sally J.Road, named in honor of SallyJ. Newcomb, the last blackresident of Mt. Vernon, whodied many years ago. Carloftissaid the road was originallynamed in honor of a blackminister, Rev. Green who livedon the road. A part of the road,which used to be connected toTown Hill is now named Rev.Green Road.

Negro Creek Road retainedits name. Carloftis pointed outthat the name was also inhonor of a black person, a fe-male slave who survived anIndian massacre on the creekby hiding in a hollow log. Af-terwards, she made her way tothe William Whitley House.Negro Creek Road is on thehistoric Skaggs Trace route,the first road in Kentucky. Anopposing version of the nam-ing of the creek has it beingnamed for a black scout withDaniel Boone who discoveredthe creek.

Another plus for Enhanced911, besides the much betteremergency service, is thatRockcastle will eventually getthe money being deductedfrom cell phone bills that isnow going to the state policepost in London. This moneywill be paid to the local 911 tosupport the local system.

“Our emergency systemused to be dispatched from thejail and, year back, the fiscalcourt made a commitment tosupport a modernized dispatchsystem and bring Rockcastleup to par with the rest of thestate and nation,” Carloftissaid, “because Rockcastlecountians deserve as good asystem as everyone else has.”

“Do I like all the new roadnames, no,” Carloftis added.“It’s going to create a fewproblems and a little anxiety,but it will work for the better-ment of the county.”

P.O. Box addresses911 Director Bonnie Roark

said Tuesday that if you havea post office box, you haven’treceived a letter but you willdetailing your physical ad-dress. It will not change yourmailing address but will serveto give Enhanced 911 the in-formation to quickly respondto an emergency call.

“There have been a lot ofphone calls regarding the newaddresses coming into the 911office. Please do not come tothe 911 office about this mat-ter. We are very busy gettingthe enhanced system in opera-tion and with the every dayoperation of 911. Please call256-2121 with your questionsand we will get back to you assoon as possible. It may take afew days, because of the num-ber of calls being received,”Roark said.

She also pointed out thatthe number of your residencemust be posted on your homeor at the end of the drivewayif your residence cannot beseen from the road.

Review by Iris Young Baptism in Blood: The Camp Wildcat Affair by David

Owens consists of three parts. The first part is an historicalnarrative written in military magazine format. Part II con-sists of maps, weather reports, calender events, and "Meetthe Commanders" (brief biographical sketches of the offic-ers in command). Part III includes letters written by actualCivil War combat particpants and their family members andfriends.

Part I explainsKentucky's entranceinto the Civil Warand relates the storyof the the Battle ofWildcat Mountainin SouthernRockcastle County.The author empha-sizes that the out-come of this earlybattle prevented theConfederate Armyfrom controlling theCumberland Gap,main thoroughfarebetween the Northand the South. Thenarrative traces the path of the Confederates as they leaveTennesse and move North through the mountains of Ken-tucky and then relates the skirmishes between the Confeder-ates and Kentucky's Home Guard. It ends with the Federalsfinally forcing the Confederates to retreat after a bloodybattle at Camp Wildcat.

Part II presents maps which outline the path of botharmies, their positions before and during the battle, etc. Thepresentatio of the actual weather conditions before and dur-ing the battle help to create a sense of reality on each day ofthe conflict. The brief biographical sketches also help toexplain the strategies/ reactions of the soldiers engaged inthis struggle.

Part III includes letters of the soldiers, both officers andenlisted men, to family members and friends, as well as sev-eral letters from family members to the troops. These let-ters sometimes emphasize the tragedy of the battle, but theyalso sometimes tell funny stories about things that happenedin camp. These add to the reader's understanding of thesoldier's hard life during this time in our history.

This detailed and accurate account of "The Camp Wild-cat Affair" offers the reader a realistic picture of a signifi-cant Civil War battle in Rockcastle County. The book maybe obtained by calling Willetta Owens at 256-9870, [email protected] or logging on to ww.lulu.com

The Mt. Vernon City Coun-cil got good financial news attheir regular meeting Mondaynight concerning their finances.The city ended their 2005-06fiscal year with a surplus in theirwater and sewer fund and theirgeneral fund coming out almostexactly even between revenues($743,826.23) and expenditures($743,704.93).

“I think we (the city) are insound fiscal condition and sinceour accounting records are up-to-date we can now go forwardwith more projects,” MayorClarice Kirby said commentingon the city’s financial affairs.

Kirby also noted that part ofthe good news at the end of the2005-06 fiscal year, was that thegeneral fund did not have toborrow any money from thewater department to operate on.“Since we paid back $30,000,that had been taken from thewater fund to pay for a firetruck, in the first years of myadministration, we haven’t hadto borrow any more money

from the water department tooperate the city.”

The water fund wound upthe fiscal year with a $58,000surplus and the sewer fund had$194,195.

The general fund wouldhave had a surplus butworkmen’s compensation in-surance cost more ($2,526.62for general fund and $6,445.35for police department) than ex-pected; insurance expense washigher ($1,099/$8,382.47);equipment purchases for thepolice department ran higher($7,962.59) and there was$7,500 expended for a new ve-hicle for the police departmentwhich was not originally bud-geted for. The city also had topay $6,736 more than the$1,000 originally budgeted forlawyer fees.

The city received more rev-enue than expected from thefranchise tax ($21,233.67); de-linquent taxes ($19,579.23) andoccupational tax ($36,000.12).

Sinus InfectionsPresented by Dr. Kimberly Cornelius

When colds and other viruses are going around, the sinusescan get into a lot of trouble. The sinuses normally secrete mucusto help moisten the air you breathe and trap pollution and par-ticles of dirt. When viruses, allergies, or weather changes causecongestion, the sinuses cannot work prop-erly.

The sinus openings become clocked andpressure builds up. The normal secretionsaccumulate and the bacteria cam multiplysince the body cannot easily remove themfrom the plugged nose and the sinuses.Then the mucus becomes thicker, and thecolor turns to yellow or gray –an infectionhas started.

The infections may cause pain in thechecks and along the sides of the nose. There is often a fever andpain in the teeth, especially the upper molars.

What can you do to prevent or treat sinus infections? It isuseful to open the nasal airways with decongestants, such aspseudoephredine. Antihistamines are often used, especially ifallergies are involved. You should also raise the humidity in thehouse and drink plenty of warm liquids to keep the secretionsthin.

Cigarette smoke paralyzes and eventually kills the cilia whichsweep the sinuses clear of mucus. This damage from smokingallows the mucus to build up, and the amount of secretions isincreased because of the irritants in smoke. Always avoid smok-ing.

When a bacterial infection develops, you will usually needantibiotics to help clear it up. It may take a prolonged course ofantibiotics or a change of antibiotics if there is a slow response.Cortisone nasal sprays may be useful depending on the cause ofthe sinus infection. Viral infections are the most common cause,of course, and do not respond to antibiotics.

In 1954, I was only ten yearsold, and this old world was avery different place. It is hardto believe that 50 years havepassed. We survived withoutmany of the items that are nowconsidered to be either essentialor required by law. I recentlytried to imagine what a shock itwould be to go back to that time.Travel with me…as we considerhow our lives have changed andhow simple it was in the 50’s.

My first bicycle: it was a 24-inch, orange bike with no fend-ers. Nothing fancy about it. Wehad never heard of wearing ahelmet, and we could ride witha friend sitting on the crossbar.Its paint was probably made oflead. Of course, we wedged abaseball card in the spokes sothat the bike was transformedinto a “motorcycle.” We wenteverywhere on our bikes. Werode all day long and never con-sidered being tired -- or stayinginside to play. The world wasour playground. It would beconsidered punishment if we

had to stay cooped up inside thehouse.

When we got thirsty, we sim-ply turned on the garden hoseand got our fill. Our water camefrom a well in the yard. It con-tained no fluoride and was nottreated in any way. Paying forwater in plastic bottles wouldnever have occurred to us. Thewater from our well was free. Ifwe were fortunate enough tohave a soft drink, we shared itwith two or threefriends…without consideringdiseases that we might passfrom one to another.

If we went for a ride in thefamily car, there were no seatbelts or air bags. We physically“rolled down” the windows, andour arms waved in the breezerushing past. Occasionally, ahand would be smacked by apassing bug. In my hometown,the entire family drove to townon Saturday night and parkedthe car on the street. We

I had the fortunate situationof living next door to my grand-parents as a child. Let me tellyou, that was a nice situation fora kid to be in. My motherworked, so therefore I stayednext door with my grandpar-ents. Mom would hire ababysitter every summer tocome and stay with me at home,but the babysitter usually endedup staying alone. I knew theway to Grandma and Grandpa’shouse too well. I guess that Iwas a rather unusual child.What kid would rather stay withaging grandparents (who bytoday’s standards would be toodull) as to stay with a teenagebabysitter who was able to playall kinds of games and be veryenergetic.

It is about this time of yearon especially hot days such asthis, when my mind drifts backto my childhood days of thesevarious summers. Some of myfavorite memories are of longsummer days playing in theyard. I remember that the tem-perature was well into the 90smost every day, but it didn’tseem to bother me. My grandmausually kept a big gallon jar ofice-cold lemon-lime Kool-Aidwith fresh lemon slices in it inthe refrigerator. That would coolyou off in a hurry. SometimesGrandma would pack a picniclunch for us, and we would eatout in the yard. That was, at thetime, about as exciting as eat-ing in Central Park.

I remember one time, mygrandpa had rigged up a tent outin his front yard as a surprise.Playing in that tent was someof the most fun a kid could have.I took several of my toys in it,and wasn’t seen for several

hours at a time. I had a way ofentertaining myself.

One of my favorite activitieswas going to visit the neighborswith my grandpa. There wereabout three or four other retiredelderly couples, and one oldwidower whom my grandpar-ents had known for years whoall lived within about a mile orless of our house. My grandpawould get his old summer strawhat and cane, and we were soongoing down that dusty little dirtroad on the way to theneighbor’s houses. Meanwhile,my grandma stayed at home todo the cleaning and the cook-ing, unless it was one of the daysshe went visiting these neigh-bors, and I went with her.

My grandma was one of thebest “old-time country cooks”that ever came along. I usuallyfollowed along behind her ev-ery step, and learned how tomake every recipe by the time Istarted school. However, know-ing the recipe and cooking atthat age were too different sto-ries, but I sure knew all of theingredients. She never used acookbook.

Another of my favorite ac-tivities was going to the appleorchard where my swing hungfrom a branch of an apple tree.My grandparents had a smallapple orchard of about five orsix trees in their side yard. Quiteoften, my grandpa took out histrusty pocketknife and peeled afew of those Golden Deliciousapples for us to eat. While hepeeled and I swung in the swing,he told me stories of when hewas growing up over in Wabdjust outside of Mount Vernon.

My Dad grew green beansbetter than anyone I have evenknown or ever will.

Mostly half runners andwhite cornfield beans andgreasy beans that he planted inthe corn rows. Lazy-wife fallbeans, string-less and plump.And whatever else he thoughtmight sell. Missouri or Ken-tucky Wonders that grew out thetop of the stalks and hanging bythe double hands full.

In the middle of July andwell into October, you wouldfind my Dad, at the end of histen-hour shift in the coal mine,late in the evening sunset, hoe-ing and digging in the gardens.

He called it rest.My brothers and I called it

torture.We did most of the plowing

and tilling with Ole Dock, thebig Percheron work horse whowas more like a dog except heweighed in right at a ton andwas perfectly useless this timeof year.

I swear that that horse couldlaugh. And that he did when wewere picking beans. He’d doneall the hard work early on andcome bean picking time, hegrazed around the fields andsnickered when anybody calledhis name.

So we picked the beans . Thebiggest field was only aboutfour acres, but my Dad grewbeans on every bit of tillable soilthere on the land we owned onBlair Branch. Actually wedidn’t own much but all myuncles and aunts let Dad tendtheir shares of Pap’s old farmand they’d settle up for a bushelor two of this of that.

In retrospect, I don’t knowhow we survived July back inthe sixties, but I do know forsure that we had the most won-derful beans that God ever sawgrow.

And coming soon, to a news-paper near you, we’ll tell youhow we used to can em.

Fifteen Men on a Dead Man’s Chest:Piracy on the High Seas

The release of Pirates of theCarribean: Dead Man’s Chest,Johnny Depp’s long awaited re-prise to the first movie’s take-

Greatly entertaining, the filmromanticizes high-seas piracyof old.

Yet it might be surprising tolearn that piracy continues toflourish on the world’s oceans.“Piracy” is generally defined inthe 1982 United Nations Con-vention on the Law of the Seaas an illegal act of violence, de-tention or depredation commit-ted for private ends by the crewor passengers of a private shipon the high seas.

seek pieces of eight, but cargocontainers of valuable chemi-cals, electronics and even arms.Small vessels are plundered forthe owners’ personal assets andships’ equipment, all of whichcan be lucrative in the right mar-ketplace.

Sawmill Lanealmost unpassable...Dear Editor,

My father and mother-in-law, Butch and FannyBroaddus, live on Sawmill Laneat Orlando. The road, always interrible shape, is now almostimpassable. There are big dugout places and a six inch deepgully.

The Broadduses have called,I have called and even mygrandmother, Juanita Davis, has

called. As usual, with any poli-tician, the calls fell on deaf ears.Fanny’s mother, who has apacemaker, has been forced tomove in with Fanny and Butch.Nurses come biweekly to ad-minister medicine and check onher and they can barely get upthe road. Heaven forbid, some-thing were to happen and theywould need an ambulance.Fanny’s mother would be out ofluck.

No remorse is coming fromthe Magistrate because he hasbeen called. Probably too busy.Again, you know thepolitician’s oath. While theyneed your vote they are willingto kiss your hand, your baby andother parts but now, while hedoesn’t need any votes, Fannyand Butch are out of luck.

Very untruly yours,Chuck Davis

New addresses arethe price ofprogress...”Dear Editor,

No one wanted to changephysical/mailing addresses. Al-most everyone, however,wanted, expected and deserveda modern emergency dispatchsystem.

Not too many years ago,

emergency services were dis-patched from, of all places, thecounty jail. Jailer’s deputieswere trained in the proper treat-ment of prisoners and to bedeputy jailers -- not dispatchers.When an accident occurred, ifthe direct line to the ambulanceservice were not known, the jailwould have then been respon-sible for taking the call and dis-patching the ambulance -- andthis, along with taking care ofup to 50 inmates. It was cheapfor the county to operate, but nota very good system. In fact, itwas a very dangerous system asfar as liability was concerned.Today, the dispatch center inRockcastle answers anywherebetween 300 to 500 calls perweek.

There are over 3,300 coun-ties in the United States andRockcastle County is one of thelast in Kentucky to change from‘rural routes.’ Today, even if youwant a telephone or electricityhooked up to your house, aphysical address is required. Ifyou want something from a mailorder catalog, a physical addressis required. And that is what younow have, a physical addresswhich shows your exact loca-tion within Rockcastle County.

With this new system, emer-gency vehicles will be able topinpoint your location. After all,if you believe that a ‘rural route’already tells your location, thenconsider that many of the ‘ruralroutes’ can be anywhere from10 to 70 plus miles long andcover anywhere from only oneroad to maybe 50 different roadswithin the county. Get the pic-ture? Rural routes are outdatedand really never did give aperson’s true location. In fact,modern dispatch systems can-not operate without physicaladdresses.

Everyone involved with thischangeover truly regrets anyinconvenience but this is a priceof progress as we move forwardinto new technology that willultimately serve you much bet-ter than ever before.

Respectfully,Bonnie Roark

Rockcastle 911 Director

Will new jail helpquality of life inRockcastle...?”Dear Editor,

Everyone loves a get richquick scheme: something willbring boodles of money to ourcounty with no effort or incon-venience on our part. That lat-est “easy money” is on theSignal’s front page (July 13, Fis-cal Court discusses possible re-gional jail for Rockcastle).

We already hold way toomany in jail. Has doubling thenumber in jail doubledRockcastle’s quality of life? Hasredoubling the number in jailgiven us a 50% reduction incrime? But maybe I just don’tsee how much better off we arefor pitching record numbers injail.

Be that as it may, it is wrong

to help to make money off themisery of others. To say the leastit is uncharitable to help formore prisoners to be held inRockcastle so we can turn aquick and easy buck. “But if wedon’t do it, someone else will.”Is there any evil act that cannotbe justified with this samelogic?

We are all adults. If we needmoney, we get it the hard way -- we go to work and earn it. Allof us together are RockcastleCounty. If we, as the county,need more money, we shouldpaddle our own canoe and raisetaxes to take care of our ownneeds.

Easy money is always toogood to be true. The moral costto pay the piper for holding yetmore captives in Rockcastle isfar too high.

Sincerely,Bob Coffey

Not such a safeplace to live?...Dear Editor,

I have lived in the MountVernon area all my life. I havealways thought this was a goodplace to live and a safe neigh-borhood. However, over thepast two summers, events haveoccurred that make me thinkotherwise.

Last August (2005), severalcars, homes and garages werebroken into on a regular basison or around Williams Street.The break-ins normally oc-curred between the hours of 2a.m. and 6 a.m. To my knowl-edge, no one was ever arrestedconcerning those instances.Now, almost a year later, thepattern starts again. Over the

last couple of weeks, homeshave been broken into whilepeople are in bed sleeping.Businesses are being robbed aswell.

I, myself, was a victim of thisillegal act last year and lostitems that were never recovered.This summer, I have once againbeen a victim but, lucky for me,I learned my lesson last year andno longer leave valuables in mycar or outside my home so thethief wasn’t so lucky this year.

My main concern is whereare the police during all of thisillegal activity? I realize theycan’t be everywhere at the sametime but the day after my carwas broken into, again this year,I stopped a city police officer infront of my home and explainedthe situation to him. One wouldthink if the police had beenmade aware of the situation,they would have patrolled thearea more but I’m not sure thatis happening because break-insare still happening at least oncea week.

I understand the police de-partment operates on a budget

but maybe the departmentshould look at shifting their re-sources around. Instead of hav-ing three or four day officers,when nothing is happening intown, maybe the departmentshould move one of those offic-ers to the night shift and attemptto catch the individual(s) thatcontinue to violate the neighbor-hood.

The robberies need to stop.It’s not fair to me, or others liv-ing in the Williams Street area,to work every day and pay forthe items we have, just forsomeone who has decided thatstealing is more rewarding thanworking to take those items.

If the city police departmentcontinues to be unable to pro-vide the citizens of MountVernon with the necessary nighttime protection, then maybe it’stime that all of the neighbors gettogether and decide how we aregoing to make our area a saferplace to live.

If you can’t go home and feelsafe, then were can you go??

Thank you,William Swinney

How can you help your chil-dren have successful marriages?If you are divorced, does thatmean your children will be too?A new study done at the Uni-versity of Minnesota shedssome light on this subject.

The five-year study was of290 young people from lateteens through their mid-twen-ties. Whether or not the parentswere divorced, good parentingproduced higher quality roman-tic relationships and marriagesamong the children. The par-ent who builds a good relation-ship with his or her child helpsthat child to have a better mar-riage. In other words, it is notthe parent’s marriage but theparent‚s relationship to the childthat makes the most difference.For divorced parents who do notwant their children to gothrough the pain of divorce, thisstudy holds out hope.

What is the good parentingthat produces good marriages?

1. Good parenting means be-ing warm and nurturing. Chil-dren are like tomatoes; theygrow better in a warm environ-ment. They need the attentionand affirmation from the twopeople who gave them life.

2. Good parenting means es-tablishing good boundaries be-tween parent and child. Thegood parent does not treat thechild as a buddy nor does sheuse the child as her counselor.She does not allow the child tobe her parent and take care ofher. She is the adult and actsaccordingly. Another studyconcluded that parents with badrole boundaries when their chil-dren were thirteen sharply in-creased the children’s chancesof ending up in an abusive rela-tionship.

3. Good parents are involvedin their children’s lives and in-terested in their activities. Theytalk to and listen to their chil-dren. They spend time withtheir children so that informa-tion will be shared between thetwo parties.

4. Good parents treat theirchildren the way they hope aromantic partner will treat themsome day. Good parents treattheir children with respect.

5. Good parents teach theirchildren to argue rationally. Itis possible to have an argumentwithout shouting, cursing andname-calling. The good parentresolves conflict with his childby rational discussion. Childrenwho learn how to resolve con-flicts do a better job of relatingto future romantic partners.Parents who scream at theirchildren should not be surprisedif their children end up withpartners who scream at them.

6. Good parents are firm, fairand consistent in disciplining

TheFamily Room


their children. They do not en-force different rules when theyare angry than when they arecalm. They do not use rules topunish the child. They are thesame “yesterday, today and to-morrow.”

This study is most interest-ing because it emphasizes therelationship that exists betweenparent and child as the primaryinfluence on future romanticrelationships. Previous studieshave seen the parents‚ relation-ship to each other as the primaryinfluence. There is a greatamount of hope in this newstudy for both couples who arestill together and couples whoare divorced.

It is the quality of the rela-tionship between the parent andthe child that has the most ef-fect on future romantic relation-ships.

Children from the neighbor-hood gathered in our yard toplay in the evening. We kneweach other by name, and so didour parents. We played hide andseek, kick the can, and marbles.We climbed trees. Every boyhad a BB gun and knew how touse it safely. Sometimes thegirls brought their dolls andplayed in a group, while theboys went on adventures withtheir air rifles. The weapon usedmost often between the childrenwas a trusty water balloon.

No one was ever seriouslyinjured. And no one ever gotsued. Parents in the neighbor-hood could and would disci-pline the kids who were play-ing in their yards. That was es-sential – an unspoken rule thatboth adults and children under-stood.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.Only last week, in a coordi-

In an incident in theSouth China Sea, thirteen pi-rates overpowered the crew ofa commercial fishing vesselkilling four and injuring threeothers. Even cruise ships arenot immune to attack as a recentincident off the coast of Soma-lia suggests.

U.S. forces are poised to re-peal pirates in territorial watersand seas patrolled by the U.S.Navy. Recently, the Navy en-gaged in confrontations withpirates armed with a variety ofmodern weaponry includingrocket-propelled grenadelaunchers.

He also told stories about hisdays in World War I when hewas serving over in Europe, orthe days when he was deliver-ing mail on rural routes byhorseback. He would often singsongs that were popular in hisyouth, as would my grandma.One such song was “In TheGood Old Summertime,” quite

an appropriate tune for the time.Some of those old song lyricsof the early 1900s still live inthe recesses of my memory.

Sometimes Grandma and Iwould play “Dress-up” andhave tea. I would put on a bunchof her clothes, a hat, and gloves.We would sit and sip tea and eatcookies like real ladies. It was alearning experience, too. Sheinjected notes of etiquette alongthe way. She also told stories ofher youth, and growing up. Oneof the stories I remember mostwas one she would tell of thetragic sinking of the Titanic. Itoccurred when she was only tenyears old, but the horror of itmade a permanent impression.

About four or five o’clock, Imade it a point to situate my-self in the back yard to wait forMom to come home. It was alsoat about this same time each daythat a neighbor boy who was thegrandson of one of the oldercouples we usually visited leftfor work. He drove out of his

drive, which was across thestreet from my grandma’s backyard. He had a brand-new, cop-per-colored 1964 Mustang. Hewas a local deejay at the localradio station in London. He al-ways waved and spoke to me ashe left, if he had time. I usuallyrequested a Beatles song or twofor him to play as soon as hepossibly could. It wasn’t exactlythe type of tunes my grandmaand grandpa had been singingearlier in the day.

By this time, Mom was usu-ally home. She picked me up atmy grandparents’ and some-times we stayed for supper be-fore going home. It gave us alla chance to get caught up withthe day’s events. We usuallywatched the CBS evening newsbrought to us by WalterCronkite. He always ended thebroadcast by saying, “…andthat’s the way it is.” And thatwas the way it was for me on atypical hot summer day of anygiven summer long, long, ago.

Bureau’s Report on Piracy andArmed Robbery against Ships.

Fear of pirates has engen-dered new defensive strategiesby captains of large and smallvessels alike. Aside from tradi-tional strategies like convoying,some companies urge the hiringof mercenaries and the use ofexotic technology, including un-manned aerial vehicles to pro-vide real-time data to groundstations during overflights oflarge ocean areas in search ofsuspect vessels. Companiesalso market non-lethal electri-fying fences which surround en-tire ships to deter boarders. Andcommercial vessels routinelyuse satellite tracking systemswhich allow land-based agen-cies to monitor their exact lo-cation.Fifteen men of a dead man’s

radio. Phones were mounted onthe wall, and nearly the entirecommunity was on “party”lines. At our house, we onlyanswered the phone when itrang three short rings. If it wasany other sort of ring, it was forsomeone else.

We had never heard of tapedecks, and computers wereroom-sized machines for largebusinesses or colleges. Hard-ware was nuts and bolts, saws,hammers, and axes. No one hadever heard of “software.”

None of our homes con-tained air conditioners, dish-washers, or electric blankets. Atnight, we slept with only thescreen doors closed to keep ani-mals out and let the night air in.We never locked our doors. Weslept with no fear of intruderscoming into our homes.

Cigarette smoking was thething to do, and almost everyadult smoked. Penicillin had noteven been developed. The po-lio vaccine was just being intro-duced into our school systems.A nurse came to school to giveinjections to every child. Con-tact lenses had not been in-vented.

We ate bread with real but-ter. Food was flavored with ba-con drippings (lard), and meatwas present on the table for ev-

ery meal. We licked the bowlwhen our mothers made cakescontaining real eggs. Who everthought of getting salmonellapoisoning? Because we playedoutdoors in our yards, fields,and forests all day long, veryfew children were overweight.We simply ran off the excesscalories.

It is refreshing to rememberthe simplicity of that era. WhatI would give to sit for a fewhours on our old front porch inthe swing with my grandpar-ents! Or to walk with Popthrough our garden, watchinghim pull turnips from the patchand pealing them with hispocket knife. I can see him hold-ing a slice for me to sample. Ilong to stroll with MommieKatie through the apple orchardor through her flower garden.What a thrill it was to watch mymother make sauerkraut in ourback yard as she chopped freshcabbage from our garden.

OK…OK…I know thatmodern conveniences are won-derful, and we probably wouldnot want to return to the 50’s.No one today would want to livewithout his air conditioning,million-channel TV, or hispower tools. We wouldn’t becomfortable in a world withoutaccess to daily showers and themodern plumbing that accom-modates all of those work-sav-ing appliances.

Nevertheless, the 50’s hadmuch to offer. The era providedmany of us with a touchstoneto the identity of family, of com-munity, and of self – securedupon values of trust and respon-sibility. I failed to realize howfortunate I was to be growingup at such a time. It all playedout in a way that resulted in usliving in a kind of affluence thatwe didn’t know we had.

faith,Which gives me peace of

mind.I'm so lucky and honoredTo be able to sayThat you are my daughter,And each night I pray.I thank Him and thank Him,And my spirits just lift,Knowing I've been blessedWith God's greatest gift.THE WORLD COULDNEVER GIVE A BIRTH-DAY GIFT THAT COM-PARES TO THE GIFTTHAT YOUR BIRTHDAYGAVE TO THE WORLD.

Kentucky’s electric utilitiesreport they are having notrouble meeting the high de-mand for power created by thehot and humid weather that hassettled over the state, the Ken-tucky Public Service Commis-sion (PSC) says.

However, to help reduce thedemand for power so that it doesnot exceed the utilities' abilityto provide it, the PSC is encour-aging consumers to conserveenergy and, at the same time,lower their utility bills

“The utilities that we regu-late have told us they anticipateno problems in generatingenough power to meet demandor in transmitting that power towhere it is needed,” PSC Chair-man Mark David Goss said.“But energy conservation is al-ways a good idea for consum-ers, and can be helpful to utili-ties at times of very high de-mand.”

A heat wave over much ofthe nation has led to record highelectric demand this week inseveral states, including Cali-fornia, Texas and New York.With temperatures in Kentuckyexpected to be near 100 degreesin the next two days, electricusage in the state could alsoreach record levels.

“Because this kind ofweather is not that unusual forKentucky in July, our utilitiesare prepared for it,” PSC Vice

Chairman Teresa Hill said.“Consumers also should be pre-pared for summer heat byknowing what they can do toreduce electric usage.”

PSC Commissioner GregCoker noted that simple mea-sures can make a big differencein energy consumption.

“Set your thermostat at 78degrees in the summer,” he said.“Every degree below that in-creases your air conditioningbill by as much as 8 percent.”Other easy conservation mea-sures include turning off lights,televisions and home comput-ers when they are not in use,Coker said. Closing blinds dur-ing the day can lower air con-ditioner usage, he added.

More energy conservationtips are available on the Webfrom the Kentucky Office ofEnergy Policy at http://ene rgy.ky.gov /d re3 / t ips /tips.htm.

The PSC is an agency withinthe Environmental and PublicProtection Cabinet. It regulatesmore than 1,500 gas, water,sewer, electric and telecommu-nication utilities operating in theCommonwealth of Kentuckyand has approximately 110 em-ployees.

Saving energy in thesummer heat tips

• If you have central air con-ditioning, set your thermostatno lower than 78 degrees, which

is comfortable for most people.Every degree below 78 raisesyour air conditioner’s energyconsumption by 5 percent to 8percent.

• Keep blinds and drapesclosed during the day, particu-larly on windows facing south.This will reduce air condition-ing demand by keeping out sunand heat.

• Lights, televisions, com-puters and appliances not onlyuse electricity, they generateheat. Keep them turned offwhen they are not needed.

• Use appliances such as ov-ens, dishwashers and clothesdryers early in the day or late inthe evening, when temperaturesare cooler.

Beat the heat throughenergy conservation

• Use your microwave in-stead of your stove and oven. Itgenerates less heat.

• Use fans to supplementroom or central air condition-ing. They do not lower air tem-peratures, but the breeze theyproduce makes it feel cooler.Fans use much less electricitythan air conditioners.

• Use the exhaust fans inyour bathroom sparingly. In justone hour they can remove ahouseful of cooled air.

• Replace incandescent lightbulbs with compactfluorescents. Not only dofluorescents use much less en-ergy and last 10 times longer,they generate less heat.

The 8 second bareback rideis confusing because sometimesa cowboy’s wild spurring ap-pears to be simply showing offwhile in fact the rhythm of aman’s legs on his horse is allthat keeps the rigging (ahandhold on the sursingle) frombeing torn out of his hand. Thebareback rider throws his feetforward in time with the horse’sjumps, and at the same time thismotion keeps his seat close tohis riding hand. He is wellaware that once he slips awayfrom the hand hold he is on thelaunching pad. The further backhe gets on a high kicking horsethe more trouble he gets into.

A cowboy who had hisriding arm straightened invari-ably winds up having hisclenched riding hand jerkedopen. Rules require the rider’sdulled spurs be over the breakof the horse’s shoulders whenthe animal lands the first jumpout of the chute. Some bare-back horses wheel out almost asquickly as the gate can be jerkedopen and the cowboy has a hardtime keeping that outside footwhere it is required to be.

The judges are looking forthe horse that gives the rider themost trouble for the full eightseconds. Onlookers when hear-ing the score often are mystifiedbecause the bronc who threw aspectacular ride, bucking andjumping, perhaps several times,wasn’t marked higher by thejudges. They failed to take intoconsideration that for some ofthe eight seconds the horse, inthe judge’s opinion, wasn’t dif-ficult to stay on.

One of several grants the City of Mt. Vernon received forthe 2005-06 fiscal year was for about $320,000 for decora-tive lighting in the Renfro Valley area. The money was usedto buy the 82 lamps, like the one shown above, and to lay thenew lines for the lights. The pole on the lights will also havebanner arms to advertise Renfro Valley and events in Mt.Vernon and flag holders. The pole replaces 12 much largerlights previously used but Mayor Clarice Kirby, who gavemost of the credit for receiving the funding to State Rep.Danny Ford, said that four of the larger lights might stillhave to be installed later to make sure there was adequatelighting for safety. The decorative lights are of a much lowerwattage than the previous lights used.

Federal Deposit Insurance Cor-poration by not listing the let-ters of credit and not includingthe amounts reported on them,during bank examinations.

Count one was for periodfrom May, 14, 2001 to June 23,2004.

Count two alleges Smith se-cured an $800,000 line of creditfor his spouse at First Trust Sav-ings Bank in Oneida, TN witha letter on a Citizens Bank let-terhead "without authority of itsboard of directors."

Count three alleges thatSmith secured a $100,000 lineof credit at the same Tennesseebank, without knowledge of di-rectors at Citizens Bank. Thefeds say both letters were writ-ten the same day.

Count four claims the sameaction by Smith as count three,except the line of credit was$700,000 for his spouse.

In count five, Smith is ac-cused of "causing a letter to besent to First National Bank ofManchester stating that hisspouse, had an established lineof credit with the Citizens Bankin the amount of $200,000 andthat Citizens Bank had pledgedthe line of credit to First Na-tional Bank of Manchester insupport of a loan from First Na-tional Bank to his spouse, when

Zac Miller of RockcastleCounty completed the commu-nity service requirement of theRogers Scholars program byparticipating in a variety of ac-tivities benefiting the UnitedWay of South Central Ken-tucky. Rogers Scholars is anintensive one-week youth lead-ership program administeredand hosted by The Center forRural Development located inSomerset, Ky. A select groupof sixty students representing“the best and brightest” from a42-county region of Southernand Eastern Kentucky earn in-vitations to The Center for theprestigious annual program.

According to SherrySchultz, Executive Director forUnited Way, “We hope to in-crease the organized capacityfor people to care for one an-other.”

United Way of South Cen-tral Kentucky serves 25 non-profit agencies in a 10-countyregion. In order to receive fi-nancial assistance from UnitedWay, organizations must un-dergo an extensive applicationprocess. In addition, eachagency must use all fundsraised to benefit the commu-nity.

United Way began inSomerset in 1972 with 8 agen-cies. The entire organizationbegan in 1881 in Denver, Colo-rado when clergymen joined topool resources and dispersedevenly.

“Each scholar will applywhat he or she has learnedabout community service bygiving back to their home com-munities through futureprojects,” said Jessica Melton,Rogers Scholars Coordinatorfor The Center.

TheFamily Room


I have had parents tell me,“The children don’t know wefight.” Parents who believe thisare deluding themselves. Evenif children do not actually seethe fighting, they hear it. Evenif they neither see nor hear it,they feel its effects. They knowwhen Mom is upset becauseDad hit her last night, and thisviolence affects them.

Battering or spouse abusecauses damage and distress tothe fetus.

Violence affects that childeven before he is born. Mom’sanguish and worry producechemicals that affect the fetus.At its worst physical violencecan cause such injury to themother that she has a miscar-riage. I have counseled twowomen in the past six monthswho endured such an experi-ence.

Violence in the home meansemotional abandonment of thechildren. A mother who is be-ing abused has to use most ofher energy to cope with thatabuse.

She has very little left for herchildren. Nor is Dad support-ive to the children because he istoo angry. The result is that thechildren are left to fend forthemselves, emotionally andphysically.

Battering means living inconstant fear. Keeping the body

and mind in a state of constantarousal has a negative physicaleffect. Fear was meant to be ashort term emotion to help hu-mans cope with a threat. It wasnot meant to go on for monthsand years. Children who growup in violence are always look-

ing over their shoulders, won-dering when the next battle willoccur. They know it is coming:they just do not know when.

Violence makes children feelpowerless. They want to helpMom but nothing they do stopsDad from being abusive. Manychildren, some as young as threeor four, will try to intervenewhen Dad attacks Mom. Theyare rudely shoved aside orsometimes seriously hurt by theabuser. They cannot stop theabuse and they feel powerless.This affects them as adults whenthey attempt to cope with life.

Battering creates low selfesteem. Children tend to per-sonalize everything that hap-

pens in the family. In short, theyblame themselves. “I must bedoing something wrong,” theythink, or “I must not be goodenough,” they conclude. Theycome to see themselves as theproblem. This sense of low selfesteem shadows them intoadulthood.

Battered children take onadult roles prematurely. WhenMom and Dad are unable to ful-fil the parent role, one of thechildren usually takes over.

Often the oldest female childwill be Mommie to the youngerones. Some girls become “par-ents” in this way by age six.They are not able to enjoy a nor-mal childhood.

Violence often results instress, depression and flash-backs. These symptoms of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder occurin survivors of abuse, just ascertainly as they occur in survi-vors of combat.

Children of abuse may learnto abuse others or to be abusedthemselves. Not everyone whogrows up in abuse becomes anabuser, but some do. They learnthat violence is the only optionfor handling life‚s problems.Others take on the role of vic-tim and end up in abusive rela-tionships as an adult.

Stopping abuse now preventsmany problems later on for thechildren in violent families.

Exercise to Keep Your Back StrongPresented by Dr. George W. Griffith

Good posture and proper lifting are things we seldom thinkabout until it is to late. We develop poor work habits, improperposture when sitting and standing, and we get overweight.

These things put a strain on our backs and, sooner or later,the back begins to ache. Here are a numberof exercises and habits you can use to helpthe pain go away and keep your backhealthy.

1.) The “pelvic tilt” exercise strength-ens the pelvic and stomach muscles bydrawing the stomach in and tilting the hipsforward while lying on the floor.

2.) Knee-chest exercises are done bylying on your back and drawing a knee uptowards your chest and holding it 3-5 sec-

onds. Alternate the knees, and later, both knees can be broughtup at once.

3.) Partial sit-ups – just bringing your head and shouldersoff the floor for 3-5 seconds. Alternate the knees, and later, bothknees can be brought up at once.

4.) Lying on your abdomen, lift your head and shoulders offthe floor for 3-5 seconds. This strengthens the posterior spinemuscles.

5.) Sleep on a firm mattress and put a pillow under yourknees if you lie on your back, or between your knees if you lieon your side.

6.) If you are standing for a long periods, you should put onefoot on a stool or ledge, or bend both knees intermittently.

7.) Sit in firm straight-backed chairs and keep the kneeslevel with the hips or slightly higher than the hips.

8.) When lifting, bend at the knees keeping the back straight.You should be careful not to twist while lifting which is oftenwhat brings on an acute back strain.

Last week I stopped at thefarmers market and noticed thatpeaches were available. Ibought a $4 bag and went backto work. I was sitting at my deskbusy completing an assignmentwhen the smell of fresh peachesfilled the room. I decided to“sample” one that I had justpurchased. To my delight, it wasone of the most delicious andjuicy peaches that I have evertasted.

I was immediately remindedof my grandfather’s peach treeson our farm when I was young.I still remember them as beingthe best peaches you could find.Pop cared for his trees andwould even prop up the limbswith tall, forked sticks to keepthe fruit from damaging the tree.He always knew exactly whento harvest these delicacies. Theprocess was a two-person job.Pop climbed up to the top of hisstep ladder, filled buckets, andhanded them to me standing onthe ground. I kept handing himbuckets until he thought we hadenough for Mommie Katie to doher magic.

Mommie Katie thought that

peaches were delicious, and sheprepared them in a variety ofways. The fresh fruit was a hitwith the entire family when shemade her highly prized peachcobbler. Of course, she startedfrom scratch and made the crustfrom her own recipe. Now I ama cobbler aficionado, and herswas the world’s blue ribbonchampion (in my opinion). Shemade it in a 9” by 12” glass bak-ing dish, and it was quickly con-sumed by her brood. I can seeher now sitting in her favoriterocking chair watching TV witha bowl in her hand. She coveredit with a scoop of vanilla icecream and had her very blackcoffee by her side.

Mommie Katie was my kindof parent. She thought that ev-eryone had to have a late nightsnack before going to bed. Thatis why her cobbler disappearedso quickly. To this day, I haveto top off my cobbler with cof-fee.

Another dish that MommieKatie felt compelled to preparewith Pop’s peaches was her de-licious preserves. The walls of

As I sit here this Mondaymorning, I find it quite differ-ent than any other Mondaymorning that I have experiencedfor a long time. Another chap-ter in my life has closed, andanother is in its infancy. At thispoint, I’m not sure where it willlead and what adventures lieahead.

The thing that brought theprior chapter of my life to aclose was the passing of some-one whom I will simply refer toas “Miss Sue.” I was the com-panion and caregiver to MissSue for almost two years dur-ing the twilight of her life.

Miss Sue had been born,raised, lived, and died for themost of her life in RockcastleCounty. I was new to the county,and had only been here about ayear or a little over when I firstcame to stay with Miss Sue.Through her, I have becomeacquainted with quite a few lo-cal citizens, and have madefriends with the better part ofthem.

The first few days we weretogether was more or less a“getting to know you session.”Right away I learned that shewas a woman that had a passion.She had a great passion for herfamily, her teaching career, andher church. She often chuckledthat she had literally attendedthe First Baptist Church all ofher life. Her mother attendedFirst Baptist Church while shewas pregnant with her. She wasalso very fond of getting her hairdone, going shopping, eatingout, and talking on the phone toher girlfriends. I can still hearher calling them up most everymorning, and about the firstthing she said was, “Tell me a

little news.” She was, due to herhealth, rather isolated; however,her friends and family were veryfaithful to visit. I remember tak-ing her to the beauty shop al-most every week for a longtime, as well as a few shoppingsprees and eating out. These,unfortunately, had to end as herhealth declined.

Miss Sue had been a widowfor many years. She missed herhusband very much, andgrieved for him until her death.She loved to tell stories abouther family, growing up inMount Vernon, as well as sto-ries about her husband. One dayshe was relating a story about atrip that she and her husbandhad taken when she stoppedcold right in the middle of a sen-tence. She leaned over a littlecloser to me, and with a gleamin her eye and a half-cockedsmile, she said in a whisperedvoice, “You know, Robert wasawfully good-looking.”

One of the funniest stories Iever remember Miss Sue tellingwas that of her wedding day toRobert. (If anything can gowrong, it will on the weddingday. My cake fell into the backfloor of my folks’ car during thetransportation of the cake to thewedding. Mom was trying tosave a twenty-dollar deliverycharge; she thought we had al-ready paid enough. But that isanother story.) It was a hot, sul-try day in August down at theFirst Baptist Church, she re-lated. It was in the early ‘60sabout mid-afternoon. Thechurch had no air conditioning,and the windows were left openin hopes of catching a breeze.

Terry Collison and severalother of my buddies have beenswapping favorite “ride” storieson the internet lately. At leastI’ve been receiving them but theswap may not have been work-ing on the other ends.

I am advised by telephonefrom several more urgent con-tacts that AOL has screwed upyet again and they are not get-ting email from me but that’sanother story altogether. Andnot one that I can write aboutwithout using language unfit forfamily newspapers.

“ARGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!”,is as polite as I can get and thatis a vast understatement.

Anyway, the subject thisweek is something best de-scribed as “favorite cars in yourlife.

So let’s talk about “rides.”The first car I ever owned

that didn’t have my Dad namedas a co-owner was a ’68 Camaroconvertible that I purchased,used, in 71 at Boone MotorCompany in Whitesburg, KY.

Midnight blue (dark-navy

with mucho metal flakes) rocketspoke mag wheels, 327 cubicinch with three deuces on topof the motor and rated at 140mph. It would actually go fasterthan that, but when I got toabout 100, it more or less leftthe ground and flew low.

Gasoline was like 21 cents agallon and it would get probablyeight miles to the gallon if I wasgoing down hill at an idle andhad the clutch pushed in. If weneeded something form the gro-cery, I’d borrow Dad’s truck tosave on gas.

I bought a top of the line Pio-neer 8-track stereo with sixspeakers and when I put the topdown it was at least as good asthe largest public address sys-tem in eastern Kentucky at thetime.

I could hit Highway 7 at themouth of Blair Branch, turn upthe volume full blast and theycould have heard Steppinwolf“Born to be Wild” on the Vir-ginia border seventeen miles

Few circumstances are asfrightening as the realizationthat a loved one is missing, par-ticularly if that person is childor elderly parent. Our minds

conjure ter-r i b l ecicumstancesand wepanic.

Yet, thereality is thatindividualscan be miss-ing for a va-riety of rea-

sons not all of which are sinis-ter. When the missing person isan adult, as opposed to a youngchild, benign explanations fortheir absence are far more likely.In these circumstances, themissing person is in no perilwhatsoever.

The Kentucky State PoliceMissing and ExploitedChildren’s Unit tracks missingadults as well as children. In2005, over 2100 missing adultswere reported statewide. Thesereports include those who be-cause of senility or mental dis-ability have wandered fromhome and family, those who re-main missing after a natural ca-lamity, or those who have sim-ply vanished and there is a rea-sonable concern for their safety.

Reports of missing juvenilesare far more frequent. Nearly5,000 children were reportedmissing in Kentucky last year,including nearly 90 who wereunder the age of 5 at the time oftheir disappearance. Nationally,about 1.5 million children arereported missing each year.

Nearly half of all missingchildren are runaways, and an-other twenty to thirty percent aremissing for a benign reason, i.e.,a scheduling misunderstandingor some other non-dangerouscircumstance. Still, over 50,000non-family abductions and over200,000 family abductions oc-cur annually nationwide.

While these numbers presenta scary picture, a 1997 report

JudgeDavid Tapp

indicates that the murder of anabducted child remains a veryrare event, less than 100 annu-ally. The sexual exploitation ofa missing child is far moreprevalent.

Despite the rarity of thesetragedies, parents perceive theirchildren to be at greater risksthan ever before. In a new

No say in namingroads...Dear Editor,

This is what I think and whatmost of the people in the RedHill area agree with.

We had no say in the nam-ing of the roads. We were askedbut weren’t listened to. I toldthem I did not want TowheeLane for the road, again nobodylistened.

My dad, Chester Singleton,made the road when he boughtthe place in 1929. It was only apath. He scraped and worked topay his taxes and I paid themfor years. But again, that don’tcount. Mom and Dad probablyhave close to a hundred descen-dants and, if you could talk tothem, they would say that is theSingleton Road, it leads to thehome place.

I can tell the county judge,or anyone else, as long as I liveit will be Singleton Road, I ammade to use the new address formail but you can bet my chil-dren and my grandchildren willknow its real name.

I even mentioned othernames for the road. Again, noone listened. The county judgedestroyed the history ofRockcastle County, it’s gone.The names of the people wholived in Rockcastle, only a feware left to remember.

I thought it was great the wayit was. 911 is good, I don’t doubtthat, but there were better waysthen what they did to the peopleof Rockcastle County.

You let us down. You didn’tlisten to the common people.You thought you knew the bestway but it was the wrong way.It’s a mess and I don’t think itwill ever be anything but amess. When any of you, andyou know your names, arewanting our help to elect you tooffice, we won’t listen to you,then you will know how it feelsnot to be listened to.

Another thing, I began re-ceiving little order books, Iguess everyone get them, threeweeks before I received my let-ter, I looked down at the ad-dress, it had the new address,three weeks before I got the let-ter. I could not believe it. Some-one sold or gave our names tothese companies, how elsewould they get my new ad-dress? If you know, please tell

Living in Mt. Vernonwas important timein life...Dear Editor,

Although I have not lived inMt. Vernon since 1953, I stilllook forward to receiving theSignal each week.

I am sure there are very fewresidents of Mt. Vernon whoeven remember my name, but Ihave not forgotten the manypeople who made living in Mt.Vernon an important time to re-member for me and my family.The school, churches and close-knit family environment help toset standards and shape patternsthat have influenced our entirelong lives.

Most of all, I enjoy the manyprogressive changes in the en-tire community and RockcastleCounty - the great developmentof the schools, pride in commu-nity development, beautifica-tion of homes and landscape,expansion of industry and busi-nesses and cooperation of everyindividual and organization forimproving and encouraginggood will, growth and opportu-nity for the young and a healthy,pleasant environment for every-one.

There was a time whenyoung people, who were fortu-nate enough to go away for ex-tended education, had to stayaway to find employment. Nowthey return to become a part ofthe economy or expand and de-velop opportunity for others.

Part of the point of mythoughts is the pride I take inonce having been a part of Mt.Vernon. The greatest point isthat the Mt. Vernon Signal hasbeen a very large part of thisprogress. I have never seen alocal newspaper give so muchspace and encouragement to theschool and its teachers and stu-dents, both academic and ath-letic, listing every achievementand scholarship as well as pic-tures. The recent photos of thegarden tours showed a Mt.Vernon I had not seen. Pride incommunity development,cleaning roadsides, improvingsidewalks and downtown build-ings are clearly detailed in ev-ery week’s issue.

Life in Mt. Vernon soundslike a place I would enjoy call-ing home again.

I wonder how many presentresidents of Mt. Vernon knowthe history of the small parknear the railroad and the historyof the large rock bearing thename of Rose McCord.

Living in Virginia, I hear andread so much of the WildernessTrail, which carried Virginiansto Kentucky and which windsits way through RockcastleCounty to Mt. Vernon where itdivides. This is such an impor-tant point in Kentucky and Vir-ginia history. Mt. Vernon shouldcapitalize on its significance.

The huge outcropping ofrock, south of Mt. Vernon - the

high dome which was an impor-tant landmark for the travelersfrom Virginia to Kentucky andfor which Rockcastle County isnamed, should be a nationallandmark. I always regrettedthat the old McFerron log homebehind the courthouse, whichserved as a wayside inn for thetravelers was not recognized,but that is gone. Rockcastle re-mains and could be a great tour-ist attraction as a NationalLandmark.

Elinor DenneyLexington, Virginia

me and I will tell the Livingstonpost office because they don’tknow either. There is somethingrotten somewhere.

My family has asked me towrite, most don’t live on thisroad, but they don’t like it anymore than I do. If no one agreeswith me, that is their privilege.Everything we believe in is go-ing. We have no say in anything.The officials think they knowmore than all the commonpeople but they don’t. We’remade to do things, whether wewant to or not, right or wring.

This is the address I’m stuckwith.

Some history ofcemetery...Dear Editor:

If I may, I would like to sharewith your readers a bit of theland history of the Negro CreekCemetery (KY Hwy 3245, WestBrodhead) and publicly ac-knowledge the folks that havemade contributions to its up-keep thus far this year.

According to official courtdocuments, the cemetery in itspresent land form came aboutlike this: James W and Elizabeth(Farris) Johnson owned theoriginal plot of cemetery landthat covered approximately 1/2acre, (where the three cedartrees are now with graves dat-ing from the Civil War, possi-bly earlier). In January 1900 Mr.and Mrs. Johnson sold 188 acreswhich encompassed the cem-etery. In that deed, Mr. Johnsonexcepted the original 1/2 acrecemetery plot and donated anadditional plot which squaredthe cemetery up to the roadway.

This remained as deeded un-til September 1954, at whichtime two brothers, Edgar andLewis Bowling bought a 20 X185 foot strip that bordered thecemetery on the west side,which they promptly designatedfor "burial purposes only".

On April 27, 1968, the cem-etery acquired an adjoining"about one acre", tract on theeast side of the property whichwas freely given by Nathan andSallie Ann Brummett. Thus, wehave the cemetery in its present-day land form.

Although, there are a coupleof folks in the county that claimtheir ancestor, none of which arelisted above, gave the land forthe cemetery, court documentsprove otherwise. A commentwas made around MemorialDay of this year by one localresident stating that she did notfeel obligated to contributefunds to the upkeep of the cem-etery, (never mind that her par-ents, siblings, nieces, nephewsetc. are interred there), becauseher grandfather donated theland. He did not. That is simplya tall tale.

I would just like to say to herand anyone else that uses suchexcuses to put the financial bur-den of the cemetery upkeeponto others - my father fought

in World War II - that certainlyDOES NOT make ME a vet-eran.

I personally know where twograveyards are that can be foundonly by tripping over the tomb-stones amidst thick head-highundergrowth and huge trees.The Negro Creek Cemetery hasalways been one of the best sup-ported and maintained in thearea thanks to the literally hun-dreds of contributions that havebeen given over the years andwill remain so due to the fore-sight of the folks that organizedthe trust fund. The interest fromthe trust fund monies has beenpaying for all of the mainte-nance at the cemetery for sev-eral years now and will continueto do so long after we are allgone. The money in the fundsimply CAN NOT be used foranything else.

If you received a letter fromthe trust fund board this yearand did not contribute, pleasereconsider. If you have folksburied at the cemetery and didnot receive a letter from theboard soliciting a contribution,that simply means they did nothave your mailing address.Contributions, (tax deductible!),can be mailed at anytime to thetreasurer: David Bowling -Treasurer, NCC Trust FundBoard, 5362 Augspurger Road,Hamilton, OH 45011.

A full yearly report from thetrust fund of contributors,amounts given, and each dollarspent on maintenance is alwaysavailable at the cemetery on"Decoration", (first Sunday inJune).

Following is a list of thefolks who have contributed theirtime or materials or money tothe upkeep of the cemetery thusfar in 2006: Evelyn Abbott,Janice and Reginald Bailey, Benand Sharon Barnett, Bobby andMabel Barnett, Irene Benge,Jewell and Jerry Benge, BillyLee and Omah Bishop, PaulBlanton, Dan and Kim Bowl-ing, David and Connie Bowl-ing, Edgar Bowling, JamesDelbert Bowling, Ruth Bowl-ing, Virginia Broaddus, AlfredBrock, Dallas Brock, DawnBrock, Houston and TamilaWhalen Brock, Pauline andGary Brock, Proctor Brock,Ronald and Brenda Bronner,Ronald Jr. and Lori Bronner,Rita and Jim Brumett, Dee andMary Bussell, Christine andWalter Cash, Kathy and DaveChapin, Ronald and Mary

Poet’s CornerThe dawn of night is breaking,I’ve walked so many miles

from your house to mine.I had to know if you were

watching me from afar.I didn’t see you standing there.I felt you staring at me.Your eyes pierced my back,My heart began to crack.I knew you knew what I was

waiting for you to do.You came into my house,You began to curse and shout.You begged for answers,Though the questions were

never asked.I knew you thought I cheated

but were afraid to ask.You pulled out a knife, sharp

as a tack.You broke what was left of my

cracked broken heart.Written by Eva James

Florida poll, forty-five percentof the survey participants be-lieved that their children wereat greater risk than five yearspreviously.

In response, concerned par-ents undertake many measuresto keep children safer. Mostparents monitor the location oftheir children at all times, andmost closely monitor theirchildren’s Internet use. Stillmany parents are unaware ofwarning signs, such as theInternet query coded “A/S/L?”which stands for Age/Sex/Loca-tion, or are unaware that mostabductions are perpetrated byother family members or ac-quaintances rather than strang-ers according to the NationalCenter for Children.

Federal and state law enforce-ment maintain databases on allmissing persons.

Ultimately though, faith maybe the only recourse for a dis-traught parent. Without faith inthe safe return of our children,we have nothing at all.

our cellar had an area that shekept filled with pint jars of herspecial concoction. In the win-ter, we savored home-made bis-cuits with peach preserves onthem. I have failed to find anystore-bought brand that couldmatch hers. On some very coldwinter mornings, she made hotoatmeal served with slicedpeaches from the cellar. �Thatwas Pop’s special way of enjoy-ing his fruit. He had to have hisoatmeal 365 mornings a year.

Pop was a “whiz” at making

home-made ice cream in thesummer. We had an old hand-crank ice cream maker that hewould fire up as soon as thepeaches were ripe. MommieKatie’s vanilla cream combinedwith Pop’s peaches made abackyard snack that drew neigh-bors from all around. I loveBryers’ ice cream, but Pop hadthem beat – hands down! Heused huge hunks of freshpeaches in his cream, and Icould not get enough.

After arriving home on theday I had made my recent peachdiscovery, I placed them in abowl in our kitchen. That night,while watching TV with mywife, I ate my second peach. Itold her that there has to be aGod because only He couldmake something that tastes thisgood. She laughed at me as thejuice ran down my beardedchin.

I am so pleased to have theservices of local farmer’s mar-kets. This summer, I havesampled half-runner greenbeans, cucumbers, corn, toma-toes, and the peaches. Freshfruit and vegetables cannot beany better than when purchasedfrom local farmers. Not only isthe taste wonderful, but thememories of my boyhood lin-ger throughout every bite.

Thanks to the local farmersfor their efforts. We appreciateyour hard work.

“TJ’s Journal”(Cont. from A2)

The guests were beginning toswoon from the heat. Theflower girl, one of her nieces,was being uncooperative. Atsome point in the whole pro-cess, a bumblebee had flownunder Miss Sue’s lovely, long,flowing, bridal gown. I under-stand it was quite an experience.

She really loved her family.They were a very small butclosely-knit group. Having nochildren of her own, she reliedheavily on her nieces and neph-ews during her latter months.

One of her happiest experienceswas a birthday celebration theyhad for her last February. Shewas very close with her last re-maining sister, Barbara andbrother-in-law, Billy. Sadlyenough, this sister preceded Suein death by only a few months.Miss Sue missed her beyondwords. Her double first cousin,Jean, has played an importantrole in her life acting almost asa sister. Miss Sue especiallylooked forward to holidays withher relatives. She often remi-nisced about Christmas here orthere at various homes, orThanksgiving at Aunt Lorene’sand Uncle Clarence’s.

Unfortunately, she had to en-dure quite a bit of ill health mostof her life and other misfor-tunes. Arthritis plagued her lifesince she was in her late 20s yetshe forged ahead, and hadtaught school locally for aboutthirty years. She had always re-gretted not having written abook about her teaching expe-riences. She and her husbandonce lost everything they had ina horrible house fire severalyears ago, but she was able toovercome this obstacle, as well.

Her chief characteristicswere probably a strong will anddetermination. Those who knewher well may say that she wastoo strong-willed, but those whoknew her also know that with-out this, she would not have sur-vived and overcome all of thevarious obstacles that had chal-lenged her and came out victo-rious.

I often paralleled my lifewith Miss Sue’s. Through her, Iprojected my own situation forthe future to some degree or theother. I, too, had been diagnosedwith arthritis at about the sameage, and found a youthful andwilling mind trapped within astiff and painful, deterioratingbody. I know what pain she suf-fered in doing the most simpledaily tasks. I forged ahead as shedid as long as I could. My job,a certified med-tech, was veryphysically demanding com-pared to teaching, and I wasforced to retire early.

I also married rather late in

life. In my case I had been mar-ried previously. Neither of ushad any children, but have asmall but close family. I’ll prob-ably be relying a lot on mynieces and nephews in my lateryears, as well.

My Miss Sue was laid to restyesterday following a verybeautiful service; one in whichshe would have been verypleased. All of her closest fam-ily and friends were in atten-dance. She would have likedthat. Miss Sue and her familyhave been outstandingly cordialto me and have made me to feela part of this special family.

I followed the funeral pro-cession through the middle oftown in route to the cemetery.Miss Sue passed through thetown of her heritage; past famil-iar stores and places of business,and past familiar streets andlandmarks for the final time. Afavorite daughter of the countywas about to be “gathered untoher people” in Biblical termswho had been awaiting her ar-rival a long time. She wouldhave liked that, too.

“Points East”(Cont. from A2)

away..The ultimate babe magnet

(again I can’t use the languageof that day) but I didn’t have anyproblem getting dates with girlswho had fathers who didn’tknow me.

I called that car “Spook”because it really was scary fast.My best Buddy, Don Miller hada little Datsun that he hadnamed “Sylvester”. We’d go outon double dates to the dives inPound and Wise and Norton,Virginia and drive Sylvesterwhich, conveniently, had benchas opposed to bucket seats.We’d promise them a ride in“The Spook” before the nightwas over if it wasn’t raining andwe’d convince them that wedidn’t want to get wet.

Four people couldn’t reallyfit comfortably in Spook unlessthe top was down and besidesthat, she leaked if you were

driving very fast in wet weather.Early one morning in Janu-

ary of 74, I was headed toFrankfort, some 170 milesaway from Blair Branch andrunning late. Sleet and freezingrain were coming down justabout daybreak when I hit thegood stretch of Highway 15just outside of Hazard and putole Spook into the low flyingmode.

On a long curved bridgeacross the KY River betweenJackson and Campton, Spookspun out.

I woke up in an out patientclinic in Campton. To this dayI’m not sure how I got there, butsome of my coworkers fromKnott and Breathitt Countieswere there because they’d beenjust behind me when the wreckhappened and I convinced themthat I was able go on to Frank-fort.

Two days later, brotherKeeter and Dad met me in Jack-son where a coworker haddropped me off on the wayhome. The first thing I askedabout was ole Spook and Keetersaid, “Well there’s pieces of thatcar at three different salvage lotsbetween here and Hazard andthe state says you may owethem for a bridge.”

We stopped at a car lot thereon Highway 15 just south ofHazard and Mike Adams, (noclose relation but an old highschool buddy) was in theChrysler business and those ri-diculously-huge, ten-gallon,white, cowboy hats were a(good guys wore em) trade-mark. Mike was wearing oneand I fell for the ruse.

He tried to sell me a NewYorker, but what really caughtmy eye was the ultimate VWSuper Beetle, cream coloredwith all sorts of flames painteddown the sides and a Porscheengine, ultimate sound system,that someone had traded in fora Dodge Charger.

I later figured out why theytraded but that’s another story.Suffice to say, that by the time Igot on Blair Branch that car hada name----Spook II.

Although students don’twant to start thinking about thenew school year until late intheir summer vacation, stateleaders began planning for the2006-2007 school year monthsago. In a continuing effort toimprove education for Ken-tucky students, the KentuckyDepartment of Education andthe Kentucky School Boardhave enacted changes that stu-dents, parents and teachers willsee in the upcoming schoolyear. For the GEAR UP audi-ence, Kentucky EducationCommissioner Gene Wilhoitrecently noted three changesthat he believes are especiallyimportant.

The first is new graduationrequirements passed by theKentucky Board of Education.“There are new minimumgraduation requirements for theyear 2012, which seems faraway but schools will beginmaking changes now to meetthose requirements,” Commis-sioner Wilhoit said - this year’sseventh-grade students willgraduate in 2012.

The new requirements callfor a more rigorous curriculumto prepare students for the fu-ture. Most of the changes are inmathematics where schools willincrease the depth of the con-tent and the number of requiredmath courses. Everyone willtake Algebra I, Algebra II andGeometry in high school; there-fore, middle schools willdeepen their math curriculum tolay the groundwork studentsneed to succeed with highschool Algebra.

Science classes will become

more lab-based and hands on.In addition, students will be re-quired to be competent withtechnology. There has also beendiscussion about increasing therequirements for proficiency ina second language.

Commissioner Wilhoit be-lieves parents play an importantrole in supporting this new ap-proach. “Parents should encour-age more rigorous study fortheir students,” he said.

The second action Commis-sioner Wilhoit highlighted is thecontinuing effort to refine theassessment process with newtesting design and the infusionof ACT testing. While tests willstill assess knowledge of corecontent, some of the testingflaws will be corrected.

The ACT test system willbegin in the eighth grade withall students taking the “Ex-plore” assessment. In the 10thgrade students will take the“Plan” test. Both Explore andPlan are preparatory tests thatidentify the areas students willneed to work on in order to dowell on the ACT in their junioryear.

Third, schools are workingon developing web-enabled In-dividual Learning Plans (ILP).These new electronic plans willeventually replace the paper In-dividual Graduation Plans(IGP). Since they will be avail-able online (with access codes),families who have a computer,or access to one in the commu-nity, will be able to check theirstudent’s plans periodically tosee how their son or daughteris progressing toward estab-lished goals. CommissionerWilhoit said schools will ex-plain the process to families,starting this year, at the sixth-grade level so they will under-stand how to use it.

The system that houses theIndividual Learning Plans willalso link to higher educationsites, scholarship opportunities,and other tools that allow stu-dents to explore their interestsand post-high school graduationoptions conveniently and at anearlier age. CommissionerWilhoit concluded by sayingthat with all of these new ap-proaches: “We are removing allthe barriers to students becom-ing successful.”

opment Board / IndustrialAuthority’s property.

Last year the local board pur-chased the 4 acre tract for$74,000 when it was sold at anestate auction.

Chairman Corey Craig toldthe eleven board members in at-tendance on Monday that therewould be a walk through onWednesday of the NorthsideApartments property, on Rich-mond Street in Mt. Vernon,which the board recently boughtfor $175,000 with coal sever-ance funds.

Part of Wednesday's walkthrough was to get the keys tothe property. The tour was alsoto determine salvage value ofthe materials in the building andwhat to do with the mobilehomes on the site. Craig men-tioned salvaging brick andmetal and he also said the groupshould be thinking about howto contract the salvage and/ordemolition of buildings on theproperty.

All tenants at Northside haverelocated.

Craig also mentioned thatnegotiations, for the possiblepurchase of the Roger Isaacs’property, located adjacent to theNorthside Apartment, are un-derway. He said money fromthe sale of the 461/150 propertywould be used if the property isbought.

"If we decide to do this it will

give us more land for the pro-posed new county library,”Craig said.

Craig said Tuesday thatmoney for the library buildingitself would likely come fromstate grants and possibly somemonies from the state's budget."It will be a five to seven yearproject," Craig said. He is alsoa member of the RockcastleCounty Library board.

Economic DevelopmentProject Coordinator Lynn Gil-bert told board members shehad spent at least an hour mak-ing a powerpoint presentation tothe Cabinet for Economic De-velopment in Frankfort on July10th where Commissioner JohnMcCarty was in attendance.

Gilbert told board membersshe focused on the positives ofRockcastle County and empha-sized the quality of life in thecounty.

She gave a slide presentationfeaturing Renfro Valley, theLake Linville Park, RockcastleHospital, the two industrialparks in the county, the Ken-tucky Music Hall of Fame, theschool system in general, theproposed new library, the up-grading of Main Street in Mt.Vernon and she also pointed outthe railroad spur at Alcoa-Reynolds Food Packaging.

Gilbert also attended aSoutheast Kentucky EconomicAdvisory Council meeting todiscuss natural gas. "Some saidit was something you neededand others said it was too ex-pensive and said some placeswere turning to geo-thermo en-

ergy," Gilbert told board mem-bers. Gilbert will soon be amember of the council at therequest of the current council.

The coordinator also at-tended a Main Street Meetingin Glasgow the second week ofJuly where she learned that agrant opportunity would openup August 1st, which could beused for the Jones Building onMain Street in Mt. Vernon. Themaximum grant amount wouldbe $150,000.

Gilbert said she was work-ing with Kentucky Highlands tomarket the former RockcastleManufacturing building.

Craig said that the board hadkicked around the idea of ex-tending the present railroad spurat Alcoa-Reynolds to the formermanufacturing building.

Gilbert said California andDetroit industrial parks wouldbe the first targeted.

"We are going to show themwe are cleaner, more accessible,more safety conscious and havea lower cost of living," she said.

Gilbert said that she, andElmer Parlier of Highlands,were currently preparing amailer to be sent out showingall of the advantages to locat-ing in Rockcastle County. Lastyear Cintas, the county's oldestproduction plant which hadbeen in operation since 1978and was county's third largestemployer, shut down.

A financial statement waspresented to the memberspresent at Monday's meetingshowing a balance of $141,985in the Development Board/In-dustrial Authority's four ac-counts.

The next regular meeting ofthe board will be at 11:30 on thethird floor of the courthouse, onAugust 28th.

management practices, Gover-nor Fletcher has turned a billiondollar state deficit into a twohundred million dollar surplus.These projects in Mt. vernonand Rockcastle County are ex-amples of how our administra-tion is working to build stron-ger communities across Ken-tucky.”

Rudolph also noted thatthere would be a $377 millionsurplus this year and state gov-ernment did not have to raisetaxes to do this but actuallylower taxes. Rudolph said therewere 500,000 low income fam-ily members taken off the taxrolls, 74,000 new jobs created

under the Fletcher administra-tion and also pointed out thatKentucky is leading the nationin Medicaid reform. The reformis projected to save $1 billiondollars over seven years with-out sacrificing care or cuttingoff health care services,Rudolph said.

Rudolph also took credit forchanging the change order pro-cess on construction projectsand saving approximately $70million dollars the first year,when he was Finance CabinetSecretary.

Nighbert came in for hisshare of kudos during Rudolphspeech. Rudolph said that dur-ing the present administration,over $700 million had been in-vested in Kentucky’s roads andthat the largest and most ambi-tious road and bridge construc-tion/rehabilitation program inany biennial periods in state his-tory had been put in place.Rudolph said the state was put-ting more money into the roadsystem and back into countiesfor road projects than ever be-fore; saving more than $66 mil-lion per year as a result of per-sonnel efficiency savings(through attrition) and men-tioned the $150 million in bondssold to be used for county andmunicipal roads and bridges.

Since building a 200 bed jail,Clay County cleared $300,000last year on their jail operation,going from a $500,000 deficitwhich had to be covered by apayroll tax. Carloftis added thatRockcastle sent $30,000 amonth to Boyle County whenprisoners had to be shippedthere because of renovations tothe present jail.

The state’s population con-tinues to grow, Fletcher said,and pointed out that the jailpopulation will increase propor-tionately. He also noted thatRockcastle’s nearness to Inter-state 75 generated some prisonpopulation besides the fact thatthe public continues to demandjail time for crimes that onceoffenders saw little or no prisontime for such as bad checks,non-support and DUI. Ofcourse, Fletcher added, drugscontinue to be the number oneissue in Kentucky and acrossthe state.

Counties without jail facili-ties see a large portion of theirgeneral fund going to houseprisoners in other counties, suchas Knox County which closed

their jail and now uses 40% oftheir general fund to pay othercounties to house their prison-ers, Fletcher said. Carloftisadded that Casey County had toput a payroll tax on their citi-zens in order to house their in-mates in other counties andJackson County, which has onlya life safety jail (can only housecounty prisoners), had to put a10% insurance tax on just tohouse their prisoners in othercounties. “A lot of rural coun-ties will have to shut down theirjails in the next five years,”Fletcher added.

Fletcher also told the courtthat a 250 bed jail could bestaffed by about the same num-ber of personnel as a 180 bedjail but the profit margin wouldincrease greatly with the largerjail.

Jailer James Miller alsopointed out that there was ascarcity of facilities in the statefor female prisoners and that thecurrent jail could be used tohouse female prisoners with allfemale staffing which wouldgross over $800,000 yearly.

On question, Fletcher said,in his opinion, he did not forseethe mandatory regional jail con-cept being put in place by the

state.Carloftis thanked Fletcher

for his time and noted that hehad given the court “lots ofthings to think about.” Carloftisalso said, “This court does notever want to put citizens of thiscounty in the position of hav-ing their tax money taken toanother county to support ourprisoners.”

If the court should decide tocommit to the project, they arelooking at having to acquirethree to five acres and floatinga bond issue of upwards of $6million.

The robber may not havebeen alone and he may alsobeen involved in other robber-ies in the area, Rush said.

The deputy said he expectedto make an arrest or arrests inthe case in the near future.

During the next few weeks,Jackson Energy Cooperativewill be pruning or removingtrees that interfere with or havea potential for interfering withexisting JEC lines. Jackson En-ergy prunes tree limbs awayfrom overhead power lines inorder to achieve two criticalobjectives: public safety andreliability of electric service.

Many service outages andinterruptions are caused by treelimbs that fall into power linescausing damage to wires, shortcircuits and other problems.That creates potential danger forco-op members and their prop-erty - danger that be avoided bynot planting tall-growing treesunder or near electric wires, andby routine tree pruning.

Jackson Energy Cooperativeadheres to the American Na-tional Standards Institute(ANSI) A300, Standard Prac-tices for Trees, Shrubs andOther Woody Plant Mainte-nance. This standard, endorsedby the International Society ofArboriculture, the National Ar-bor Day Foundation and theNational Arborist Association,requires tree workers to cutbranches back to the "parentlimb."

This practice allows thepruning cuts to "heal" more rap-idly, reducing the chances ofinsect and disease damage, and

promotes a healthier regrowthof branches that are directedaway from the power lines. Thispractice, termed "natural prun-ing," is healthier than tree "top-ping," which is the indiscrimi-nate cutting back of treebranches to reduce the size ofthe tree crown. Although top-ping generally leaves the treewith a more uniform or bal-anced appearance, the Interna-tional Society of Arboriculturecalls topping "perhaps the mostharmful pruning practiceknown."

According to the Society,topping stresses trees, makesthem more vulnerable to insectand disease infections andcauses decay. Topping furthercauses unsafe structural weak-ness within trees that lead to sig-nificantly unsafe conditions.

Tree pruning of the follow-ing electrical circuits and loca-tions will be ongoing for thenext few weeks. These circuitswill be pruned for clearance onshade trees, or trees that nor-mally exist in yards and main-tained areas -
