The Harlan Center hasreceived approval from HarlanPolice Chief Mike Thomas, in hisrole as the city’s alcohol bever-age control officer, for a licenseto serve alcohol.

The license has been sent tostate authorities and, onceapproved, will be effective inJune.

Kim Collier, director of theHarlan Tourist and ConventionCommission, updated the boardon the center’s activities during

their regular meeting Tuesday.In preparation for alcohol

sales and service at the center,the staff is working to updateclient contracts, receiving train-ing as recommended by theABC, and preparing orders forsupplies and equipment, Collierreported.

The center expects their semi-annual health departmentinspection of the kitchen andbathrooms to be completed inApril. Their food service current-ly maintains an “A” rating.

Collier also updated the com-

mission on other local tourismbusiness related to her work as amember of the county’s outdoorrecreation board. HarlanCounty now has an agreementwith the Kentucky Division ofForestry for horse trails atKentenia State Forest and workis ongoing at the Putney RangerStation that will be used as a vis-itor’s center and trail head.Plans also call for the develop-ment of a museum and gift shopat the site.

The outdoor recreation boardis also pursuing a “zip line”attraction for the BlackMountain Off-Road Adventure

Area. Collier reported a meetingis planned with State Rep. RickNelson to discuss funding oppor-tunities from a state develop-ment loan pool that would fea-ture a very low interest rate.

The commission approved afinancial report from CPACharles Guyn that showedincome and expenses hadincreased over the past sixmonths compared to the sametime period a year ago. Collierreported that bookings at thecenter remained high and thusfar the month of March “lookedlike December” in terms of theirbusiness.

The commission held an exec-utive session to receive anupdate on the decade-long litiga-tion over property acquisitionwith John Bianchi, who has nowfiled a request for a rehearingwith the state Court of Appeals.Earlier this year that courtissued a ruling in favor of thecity.

Audit reportheard at Loyallcouncil meetingBy ANN ROBINSONContributing Writer

The Loyall City Councilwas presented with a2007 audit report Mondayduring their meeting. Thereport brought the councilmembers up-to-date onmissing money duringthat time frame.

According to the auditreport by RichardScruggs, the city receivedan unqualified reportfinding on the June 30,2007 report, which wasthe same as a goodreport. However, a dis-crepancy of $21,000worth of undepositedreceipts were found dur-ing that time.

“There is about four orfive different findings.The major one is the itemnumber two where therewas improper dispositionof funds during this auditperiod,” said Scruggs.“There was some investi-gation by the state audi-tor and they discoveredabout $21,000 of unde-posited receipts duringtheir audit...that covereda couple of years.”

The council wasalready aware of this dis-crepancy which was dis-covered by MayorClarence Longworthwithin days of takingoffice in January 2007.

The money reportedlywent missing sometimeduring the years of 2005to the early beginning of

2007whenSabrinaCuppserved asclerk andher hus-bandAnthonyCupp

served as assistant clerk.Last year, it was

ordered in circuit courtthat the Cupps pay resti-tution to the city of Loyallafter they pleaded guiltyto taking the missingmoney.

During Monday’smeeting, Longworthreminded the council thatthe city has now recov-ered approximately$16,000 of the money byway of $10,000 from thebonding company and$6,000 from monthlyrestitution paymentsfrom the Cupps.

Longworth reportedthat the Cupps have notmissed a payment to thecity, citing that if they doit was ordered by thecourt that they would goto jail.

Scruggs also reportedthat no issues were antic-ipated to be found in the2008 audit due to muchmore efficient bookkeep-ing.

“I don’t think we aregoing to have any issuesat all in this upcomingaudit. Things havechanged tremendously.

“We’re really excited about being ableto come back to Harlan County,” saidScot Sode, Goody’s district manager.“Peebles shoppers shouldn’t worry,because the new Goody’s will offer anexpanded assortment of the same brandnames Peebles customers are familiarwith. The changes shoppers can expect tosee is a larger assortment for juniors andyoung men’s clothing. As Goody’s, we def-initely had more of a market share withthose two demographics and that’s whywe’re expanding it.

NEWSIN BRIEF

Woman says Carneal never apologizedPADUCAH (AP) — The mother of a western

Kentucky teenager killed in a 1997 school shoot-ing says she has not received an apology or heardfrom the classmate who killed her daughter.

Sabrina Steger said Tuesday that attorneysand doctors are "making excuses" for 27-year-oldMichael Adam Carneal.

Carneal's mental health is the subject of ahearing in federal court in Paducah as he tries toclear a path to challenge his guilty plea to killingthree classmates and wounding five others atHeath High School near Paducah.

Steger said many of the symptoms attributedto Carneal are similar to those of a grieving par-ent, including depression. Steger says she contin-ually thinks of her daughter, Kayce.

Jobless rate rises slightly in JanuaryFRANKFORT (AP) — Kentucky's unemploy-

ment rate rose slightly in January to 10.4 per-cent, up from 10.3 percent in December.

The Office of Employment and Training saidTuesday that January's jobless rate improvedfrom an 11 percent rate in January 2010.

It said the January rate is the highest inKentucky since last May, when the rate was also10.4 percent.

Chief Labor Market Analyst Justine Detzelsays the higher rate is driven by people enteringthe labor force. Detzel says as the economy stabi-lizes, discouraged workers renew their jobsearches.

Kentucky's jobless rate in January was abovethe national rate of 9 percent.

House hears testimony on Medicaid FRANKFORT (AP) — A trade group repre-

senting the family-owned corner drug stores inmany small towns in Kentucky warned Tuesdaythat cuts to the Medicaid program could havedire consequences, including closures.

"Many of the independent pharmacists that Irepresent don't have the financial resources totake this type of reduction, even for a short peri-od of time," said Cathy Hanna, vice president ofAmerican Pharmacy Services Corp.

The House Appropriations and RevenueCommittee also heard concerns about theimpacts the potential Medicaid cuts could haveon hospitals, nursing homes and physicians.

The paperwork is muchbetter — everything looksa lot better than what itdid in this particular year(2007),” said Scruggs.

In other business, thecouncil accepted anamendment to the city’sethics code under thenepotism law that wouldserve to guide the conductof any city elected official,citing that no city officialcan have more than one

family member employedby the city. This includesall family members suchas a spouse, sibling, par-ent or child.

The amendment alsostated that if a person wasemployed with the city sixmonths prior to the elect-ed official taking office,that person would beallowed to remain in theirposition.

During the monthlyreports, fire chief VernGuffy reported that hehad been attempting torecover lost fire equip-

ment items that hadapparently been takenhome by former firefight-ers and not returned.

Guffy told the councilthat he had repeatedlytried to contact at leastthree people whom he wascertain had fire depart-ment turn-out equipmentin their possession, citingthat one of them hadpromised to get the equip-ment back to the firedepartment, but hadfailed to do so thus far.

Longworth added thathe also had attempted to

contact three people inquestion with no luck.

“If anyone has anyequipment or knows any-one who does, please askthat they kindly turn itin,” Longworth said to themembers of the audience.

During the monthlypolice report, the councilwas formally introducedto the city’s new policechief Mike Lunsford whobegan his employmentwith the city on Feb. 19.Lunsford has beenemployed in law enforce-ment for 21 years.

Long before storesbegan selling seeds, neigh-bors would trade eachother flower and gardenseeds they wanted to tryin their gardens. OnMarch 26, MaggieAshmore, communityagriculture coordinator atthe Pine MountainSettlement School(PMSS), said the public isinvited to attend one oftwo seed-swap eventsplanned for the county.

“Our first seed-swapevent will be at the HarlanCounty Extension Depotat 10 a.m.,” said Ashmore.“Another one will be heldthe same day at 2 p.m. on

the campus of the PineMountain SettlementSchool. Bill Best, with theSustainable MountainAgriculture Center inBerea, will be present dur-ing the events.”

Ashmore said Best spe-cializes in beans andtomato seeds and has over450 different bean seedvarieties from southeastKentucky and westernNorth Carolina.

“He has been telling mehow many varieties peoplehave saved, especially inHarlan and Letcher coun-ties,” said Ashmore. “Hesaid it’s a really rich seed-saving area here inHarlan County.”

Ashmore said if peoplestop saving seeds, there

would be a lot of varietieslost that you can’t buyanymore.

“Mr. Best has a farm inBerea, where he grows allthese different seed vari-eties to try and save theseeds,” said Ashmore.“He’ll give a presentationon the different varietiesand heirloom seeds he hasacquired and how to doyour own seed-savings.He’ll also bring some of hisunique bean varieties tosell.”

Ashmore said duringthis event, everyone isencouraged to bring theirseeds to swap or you’llhave the opportunity tobuy seeds if you have noneto swap.

A representative from

the Blackberry Farm, inMaryville, Tenn., will alsobe on hand with theirlarge collection of butterbean seeds.

“A third seed-swapevent will be held on April7 at 6 p.m. at the RebeccaCaudill Library inCumberland,” saidAshmore. “We wanted tocover the entire countyand give everyone anopportunity to participatein this event.”

Ashmore said plans arealso being made to estab-lish a farmers market inBledsoe. Anyone interest-ed in selling at the farm-ers market or interestedas a consumer may con-tact Ashmore at (606) 558-3571.

FRANKFORT (AP) —House Minority Leader JeffHoover pushed Tuesday for acompromise to shore upfinances in the Medicaid pro-gram in hopes of heading offpotential cuts that couldreduce care for some of themore than 800,000 poor, eld-erly and disabled Kentuckyresidents who depend on it.

The Jamestown Republicanmet with Democratic HouseSpeaker Greg Stumbo andscheduled an additional meet-ing for Wednesday to try towork out an agreement thatwould be acceptable to theGOP-controlled Senate.

Hoover hasn't discloseddetails about his plan, butStumbo said they have beenlooking at targeted spendingcuts to selected governmentagencies as a possible compro-mise.

If Hoover is able to broker adeal, he would break a dead-lock that House and Senatenegotiators have been unable

to work through. Resolvingthe issue is vital to a varietyof Medicaid providers, includ-ing family-owned drug storesthat have been a mainstay forgenerations in many smalltowns in Kentucky.

"Many of the independentpharmacists that I representdon't have the financialresources to take this type ofreduction, even for a shortperiod of time," said CathyHanna, vice president ofAmerican Pharmacy ServicesCorp. "The reality of the situ-ation is that some pharmacieswill be forced to close."

The House Appropriationsand Revenue Committeeheard similar concerns aboutthe impacts the potentialMedicaid cuts on hospitals,nursing homes and physi-cians.

Democratic Gov. SteveBeshear notified Medicaidproviders last week that reim-bursements will have to be cut35 percent for the remainder

of this fiscal year unless law-makers take action quickly.

The House is consideringlegislation that shifts $166.5million from next fiscal year'sappropriations to be used tobalance this year's Medicaidbudget. The Senate is consid-ering a competing bill thatwould cut all governmentservices to free up money tobalance the Medicaid budget.

What should have been arelatively simple chore ofplugging the Medicaid deficithas become politicallycharged, leaving a Republicanmajority in the Senate andthe Democratic majority in

the House at an impasse.They ended a legislative

session last week withoutreaching a resolution, andBeshear, a Democrat, calledthem back.

The Beshear administra-tion originated the House pro-posal for filling the Medicaidbudget gap with an inter-agency financial transfer, fol-lowed by a move to privatizeselected Medicaid services.Senate President DavidWilliams, one of threeRepublicans seeking the GOPgubernatorial nomination torun against Beshear in thefall, is insisting on across-the-board cuts to free up moneyfor Medicaid.

The result has been heatedpolitical rhetoric. The Househeard testimony in the educa-tion and judiciary committeeson Monday from peoplelamenting the hardships ofthe Senate's proposed cuts.

State Rep. Rick Rand, D-Bedford, chairman of the

House budget committee, saidindependent, family-operatedpharmacies are important tomany small towns.

"I fear that a 35 percent cutwould put many under," hesaid. "It would be tragic."

Kentucky MedicalAssociation attorney Bill Dollsaid the potential cuts couldalso hurt physicians, especial-ly pediatricians who care forMedicaid-dependent children.Doctors, he said, would haveto absorb about $41 million ofthe overall cuts.

"It sends a scary messageto physicians," Doll said.

Michael Rust, president ofthe Kentucky HospitalAssociation, urged lawmakersto move quickly to head off thecuts that would cost Kentuckyhospitals about $130 million.

Rust said rural hospitalsthat have a larger load ofMedicaid patients would beamong those most severelyimpacted.

More recreation neededfor Harlan Countians

I feel like there is not any kind ofrecreation for anyone aroundhere...yes we have a couple ofplaces to workout, for the peoplethat can afford to go, other thanthat there is not very much to offer.

There is also a gym that is avail-able to rent, but you can only rentit if you pay and reserve it 24 hoursin advance — who's to say thatsomething may or may not come upin the meantime.

So, for the many of those thatare not able to partake in any typeof recreation, I feel like that’s when

they start recreational DRUGS, asan alternative...SO, IF WE WANTOUR COUNTY TO SURVIVE,OFFICIALS OPEN RECRE-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Wednesday, March 16, 2011

A reporter, describingthe devastation of onecity in Japan, wrote: "Itlooks as if a monstersteamroller had passedover it and squashed itout of existence. I writethese facts ... as a warn-ing to the world." Thereporter was WilfredBurchett, writing fromHiroshima, Japan, onSept. 5, 1945. Burchettwas the first Westernreporter to make it toHiroshima after theatomic bomb wasdropped there. Hereported on the strangeillness that continued tokill people, even a fullmonth after that first,dreadful use of nuclearweapons againsthumans. His words couldwell describe the scenesof annihilation in north-eastern Japan today.Given the worseningcatastrophe at theFukushima nuclearpower plant, his gravewarning to the worldremains all too relevant.

The disaster deepensat the Fukushima com-plex in the aftermath ofthe largest recordedearthquake in Japanesehistory and the tsunamithat followed, killingthousands. Explosions inFukushima reactors No.1 and No. 3 releasedradiation that was meas-ured by a U.S. Navy ves-sel as far away as 100miles, prompting theship to move farther outto sea. A third explosionhappened at reactor No.2, leading many to spec-ulate that the vital con-tainment vessel, holdinguranium undergoing fis-sion, may have beenbreached. Then reactor

No. 4 caught fire, eventhough it wasn't runningwhen the earthquakehit. Each reactor alsohas spent nuclear fuelstored with it, and thatfuel can cause massivefires, releasing moreradiation into the air.The cooling systems andtheir backups all havefailed, and a small crewof courageous workersremains on-site, despitethe life-threatening radi-ation, trying to pumpseawater into the dam-aged structures to coolthe radioactive fuel.

President BarackObama had hoped tousher in a "nuclear ren-aissance," and proposed$36 billion in new feder-al, taxpayer-subsidizedloan guarantees to enticeenergy corporations tobuild new plants (addingto the $18.5 billionalready approved duringthe George W. Bushadministration). Thefirst energy corporationin line to receive thepublic largesse wasSouthern Co., for tworeactors slated forGeorgia. The last timenew construction on anuclear power plant inthe U.S. was ordered,and ultimately built, wasback in 1973, whenObama was a seventh-grader at the PunahouSchool on Honolulu. TheThree Mile Island disas-ter in 1979 and the

Chernobyl disaster in1986 effectively shutdown new commercialnuclear projects in theU.S. Nevertheless, thiscountry remains thelargest producer of com-mercial nuclear power inthe world. The 104licensed commercialnuclear plants are old,close to the end of theiroriginally projected lifespans. Plant owners arepetitioning the federalgovernment to extendtheir operating licenses.

These licenses arecontrolled by theNuclear RegulatoryCommission (NRC). OnMarch 10, the NRCissued a press release"regarding renewal ofthe operating license forthe Vermont YankeeNuclear Power Stationnear Brattleboro, Vt., foran additional 20 years.The NRC staff expects toissue the renewedlicense soon." HarveyWasserman, ofNukeFree.org, told me,"The first reactor atFukushima is identicalto the Vermont Yankeeplant. ... There are 23reactors in the UnitedStates that are identicalor close to identical tothe first Fukushimareactor." A majority ofVermonters, includingthe state's governor,Peter Shumlin, supportshutting down theVermont Yankee reactor,designed and built byGeneral Electric.

The Japanese nuclearcrisis has sparked globalrepercussions. Protestserupted across Europe.Eva Joly, a French mem-ber of the EuropeanParliament, said at one

protest, "We know howto get out of the nuclearplants: We need renew-able energy, we needwindmills, we need geot-hermal, and we needsolar energy."Switzerland has haltedplans to re-license itsreactors, and 10,000 pro-testers in Stuttgartprompted GermanChancellor AngelaMerkel to order animmediate shutdown ofGermany's seven pre-1980 nuclear plants. Inthe U.S., Rep. EdMarkey, D-Mass., said,"What is happening inJapan right now showsthat a severe accident ata nuclear power plantcan happen here."

The nuclear agedawned not far fromFukushima, when theUnited States becamethe sole nation in humanhistory to drop nuclearbombs on another coun-try, destroyingHiroshima andNagasaki, and killinghundreds of thousands ofcivilians. JournalistWilfred Burchettdescribed, for the firsttime, the "atomicplague," writing: "Inthese hospitals I foundpeople who, when thebomb fell, sufferedabsolutely no injuries,but now are dying fromthe uncanny after-effects. For no apparentreason their healthbegan to fail." More than65 years after he sat inthe rubble with his bat-tered Hermes typewriterand typed his warning tothe world, what have welearned?

The 2011 General Assembly can go down as a successnow that both chambers have acted to stem the tidal waveof prisoners that is swamping the state's budget and suck-ing resources from education and other services.

Kudos to lawmakers who defied the "tough on crime"political canon to give near unanimous approval tothoughtful penal code reforms.

Kudos to the task force, drawn from all branches ofgovernment and the ranks of prosecutors and defenselawyers, that, with assistance from the Pew Center on theStates, developed the reforms.

In the process, the Legislature showed that progressthrough bipartisan cooperation is still possible under theCapitol dome. The real test, though, will come for futureGeneral Assemblies.

They must follow through on this legislation's promiseto take the savings from decreasing prison populationsand invest the money in programs to provide offenders,especially drug abusers, with the community-based treat-ment and supervision they need to reform themselves.

That would be a good swap for taxpayers. The averagedaily cost to house an inmate in a state prison is $59.49compared with $2.69 for an average day of probation andparole supervision. Kentucky's prison population grew by260 percent from 5,700 prisoners in 1985 to 20,700 in2010 while the corrections budget swelled at an unsus-tainable rate from $140 million to $440 million.

It's not clear that taxpayers got much if anything inreturn; Kentucky's serious crime rate is about what it wasin the 1970s.

Meanwhile, drug abuse and addiction-motivatedcrimes have gnawed away at the social fabric of manyKentucky communities. Warehousing addicts and thosewho commit crimes to feed their addiction isn't working.Much more promising is the new law's shift to treatmentand alternatives to incarceration for many non-violent,non-sexual offenders. ...

The task force should continue to look for ways to peelback the layers of harsh penalties that fill jails and pris-ons but yield questionable returns for taxpayers and thepublic's safety.

SYNDICATEDCOLUMNIST

It's the same old storyevery year: The NewYear's resolutions startbreaking down inFebruary, and by Marchit's pretty much all over.When you've resolved toquit smoking, the resultsare out there for everyoneto see: Did he or didn'the? The pressure not tofall off the wagon istremendous, yet there arepsychological factors thatcan sabotage even themost determined nico-tine-buster among us.This quiz explores someof the ups and downs ofquitting smoking.

1. Smoking handlesanxiety, so quitting islikely to result in depres-sion.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

2. Smoking behavior isa psychologically condi-tioned response.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

3. Most people quitsmoking through cessa-tion programs involvingpatches or reduced-nico-tine cigarettes.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

4. Because of the asso-ciation with smoking,quitters must give up alot of activities.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

5. Specific issues willbe more motivating thangeneral health concernswhen deciding to quit.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

6. There are many psy-chological symptoms thataccompany smoking ces-sation.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

7. Like alcoholics anddrinking, ex-smokerscan't take one puff.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

ANSWERS:

1. FALSE. A newstudy in the journalNicotine and TobaccoResearch seems to dis-pel this myth. In astudy of more than 200smokers who wantedto quit, all the quitters— even those whorelapsed sooner orlater — reported feel-ing happy during theirquitting periods. Themost depressed smok-ers were those whodidn't succeed at evenstarting to quit. Theauthors found a highdegree of correlationbetween quitting andhappiness. Gettingpast the first few anxi-ety-filled days seemsto be key.

2. TRUE. What does

this mean? The usualexplanation is that ofPavlov's dog — theringing of a bell whilefeeding caused the dogto salivate, and soon ithappened with no foodin sight. It is the sameexplanation for whythe sight of a cup ofcoffee, or the pad andpencil, or the car, orother daily remindersset off the need tosmoke — the associa-tion is that strong.

3. FALSE. Whilethose methods can bevery helpful and suc-cessful, most quittersdo it on their own.This points up the factthat the hardest partabout quitting is notgetting used to lessand less nicotine, butbreaking up the asso-ciations that triggersmoking and replacingthem with somethingelse, which is a differ-ent skill set fromlearning to take in lessnicotine.

4. FALSE. Althoughthis myth keeps manypeople from even try-ing to quit, it doesn'thave to be true.Writers still write, cof-fee drinkers still drinkcoffee, and the caractually drives to itsdestination eventhough the driverdoesn't smoke any-more. Some ex-smok-ers find that using a

substitute such asgum, candy, carrots oranother crutch canhelp with this trigger-transition.

5. TRUE. While thefear of lung cancer orheart attacks is a per-fectly good reason toquit smoking, thereare more motivatingproblems that over-whelm smokers asthey decide to quit.Smelly clothes andcars, coughing, thefeeling of enslave-ment, bad breath,social rejection, lackof physical fitness —these immediateissues make peopleactually decide to quit.

6. TRUE. While thebody is busy adjustingto nicotine withdraw-al, many psychologicalsymptoms are generat-ed by the absence ofthe "old friend," thepack of cigarettes.They can include irri-tability, anxiety oreven panic attacks,and fear of doing cer-tain activities that

might trigger a crav-ing. There may be a lotof mental confusionand the inability toconcentrate, loneli-ness, restlessness andboredom. The symp-toms will be worst inthe first few weeks.

7. While it is not agood thing for thebody, and falls into thecategory of playingwith fire for many ex-smokers, a certain seg-ment of quitters areable to smoke an occa-sional cigarette with-

out returning to theaddiction. These aremostly so-called socialsmokers, who mighthave a cigarette at aparty or when outwith friends at a bar.This keeps the bodyand psyche in a con-tinual state of with-drawal, and can easilyslip into a bad habit.

If you had five cor-rect answers, youunderstand the pres-sures around smokingcessation.

You & YoursWednesday, March 16, 2011 Harlan Daily Enterprise — Page 5

(Editor's note: Thefollowing column haspreviously appeared inthe Enterprise.Charlotte Nolan is onmedical leave.)

There are many waysof perpetuating thememories of family mem-bers or esteemed person-ages in a church. Oneway is to donate astained-glass window.

Back in the early1900s, when the HarlanMethodist EpiscopalChurch (North) movedfrom a wooden structureinto a new one built ofbrick and stone, 13church members donated12 beautiful stained-glass windows, whichhave in recent yearsbeen totally refurbished.

Known today as theUnited MethodistChurch, it is located onMound Street in Harlan.

One of the windows onthe west side of the sanc-tuary and nearest thefront of the church is inhonor of Noble Smith

(1813-1888). He wasdescended from aRevolutionary War sol-dier, Henry Smith,whose name is on theMountain Trail Chapterof the D.A.R.'s bronzeand stone monument inthe old courthouse yard.

Noble Smith was aVirginian from eitherRose Hill or Ewing. Hereceived somewhere inthe neighborhood of7,000 acres of land inKentucky as recompensefor his military service.

The government was“broke” so that the giv-ing of land grants wascommon after that war.His land was located uparound Tway, CranksCreek and Grays Knob.

Noble Smith married

twice. His first wife wasNancy Ledford.

A well-known HarlanCountian, the late attor-ney Cawood Smith, wasa descendent of hers aswas the much-loved lateCawood Ledford, former“Voice of the UKWildcats.” Noble Smith'sfirst wife, Nancy, isburied in the WashSmith Cemetery onCranks Creek.

Noble Smith's secondwife was Mary Morgan.It is said that each timeshe was expecting achild, she returned toLee County in Virginiauntil after the birth ofthe child, after which shecame back across themountain to Kentucky.

Mary Morgan Smithwas the mother of DaveSmith Sr., and thegrandmother of the lateErnie Smith.

Then it follows logical-ly that Noble Smith wasErnie Smith's great-grandfather.

Dr. Dave Smith Jr.,

was Ernie's dad. Dr.Smith was a local dentistwho was a brother toGreen Smith, ElizabethSmith Welch's and M. G.Smith's father.

Ernie Smith, M.G.Smith and ElizabethSmith (Welch) shared acommon great-grandfa-ther, Noble Smith. Hewas born Aug. 15, 1813,and died at the age of 75on Oct. 6, 1888.

It is his commemora-tive stained-glass win-dow which is one of fivelocated on the westernwall of the church.

The pew nearest thatwindow was for manyyears regularly occupiedby Ernie Smith, hisstrikingly beautiful wife,Sue Yarbrough, andtheir four equally attrac-tive daughters, Sandra,Linda, and twins Kayand Clay.

Sue and Ernie weremembers of the HarlanMethodist Church formore than 60 years.

Their family delighted

in being seated togetherdirectly beside theirancestor's stained-glasswindow.

Elizabeth Smith (Mrs.James Welch) neveroccupied the pew nearthe Noble Smith window,because her regularplace for 75 years duringworship services was atthe piano.

She and organist, thelate Edward L. Cawood,played inspiring duetpreludes, postludes,offertories and specialseasonal music.Coincidentally, as I writethis column, ‘'Lib,” asshe is affectionatelyknown, is being feted bysome friends and a fewfamily members at herhome on Third Street onthe occasion of her 90thbirthday.

Also, coincidentally, Ihave just spent a whirl-wind weekend with theSmith twins, Kay andClay, at their lovelyhome in Versailles.

The “girls” are

extraordinarily active inthe Versailles UnitedMethodist Church,which we attendedtogether this pastSunday.

Their house of wor-ship on North CourtStreet resembles the OldNorth Church in Bostonor the PresbyterianMeeting House inAlexandria, Va., whereGeorge Washingtonattended services.

The windows are highand clear.

Back in Harlan, theNoble Smith commemo-rative stained-glass win-dow is a permanentreminder of a life worthyof remembrance.

It is s also a reminderthat a family was nur-tured in the church nearthat window and is stillmaking a significant con-tribution to the tenets ofJohn Wesley andMethodism.

NFL players tryto pick up legalsystem on the fly

Cardinals shut out Atlanta

St. Louispitcher

KyleMcClellanturned inanother

solid pitching

performancein his bid tosecure thefinal spot

in theCardinals’startingrotation’

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) —Kyle McClellan made anotherstrong statement in his bid forthe St. Louis Cardinals'vacant starting spot. He hasbeen endorsed by pitchingcoach Dave Duncan, and is ona schedule that would allowhim to start the second gameof the season in place ofinjured Adam Wainwright.

It looks promising, butnothing's official yet.

"He's certainly making aclaim, and it shouldn't sur-prise anybody," manager TonyLa Russa said McClellantossed five sharp innings in a4-0 victory over the AtlantaBraves on Tuesday. "He's cre-ating a heck of an act to followbut we don't have to decideyet."

La Russa said he hoped tomake the final call by the lastweek of spring training. TheCardinals still could choose toadd an established starterwith a trade or in the free-agent market.

"What we get out of it ishonesty," La Russa said."What he gets out of it is prob-ably a little irritation. But it's

not like he's in a bad position."The 26-year-old McClellan

is 2-0 with an 0.75 ERA inthree spring starts. In 12innings, he's given up one runand six hits with nine strike-outs and three walks.

"This is big for me because Ihad to come in and do this,"said McClellan, who held theBraves to one hit. "I had tohave a good spring and showthat I can do it and my team-mates more than anything canhave faith in me.

"You always have a chip onyour shoulder for people thatquestion whether or not youcan do it and I like provingpeople wrong."

Atlanta's Derek Lowe alsowas stingy in a five-inningstint, giving up a run and fourhits. But the Braves were heldto three hits for a two-gametotal of one run and five hitswith five errors, with four ofthem coming on Tuesday.

Before the two-game series,the Braves had won four in arow and outscored opponents27-3.

Lowe has progressed aninning in each of his last three

starts and said he hasn't beengiven pitch count limits.

"As long as you feel physi-cally you can go back out foranother inning, that's whatyou want to feel," Lowe said."You don't want to feel like'How am I going to get throughthis last inning?'"

Lowe, a 16-game winnerlast year, also has been serv-ing as a mentor for rookie left-hander Mike Minor, whotossed five shutout inningsagainst the Cardinals onMonday.

"It's no different from whatveteran guys did with mewhen I was younger," Lowesaid. "If you see something, tryto help a guy out, maybe talk alittle bit more on the mentalgame. I'm happy to see it'sworking."

Skip Schumaker had twohits and three RBIs for St.Louis, including a two-run sin-gle off Scott Proctor thatcapped a three-run sixth andmade it 4-0. The runs wereunearned after first basemanFreddie Freeman couldn'thandle Yadier Molina's linerfor an error.

McMILLIAN

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)— Vikings linebackerBen Leber is fluent inzone dog blitzes and cover2 dropbacks.

When it comes to thelegalese, however, that'sanother story. As theNFL labor fight movesfrom the mediation roomto the court room, playersare trying to learn the insand outs of filing a law-suit and the legallabyrinth that follows.

"For a player it can befrustrating at times,because now we're in thehands of the legal sys-tem," Leber said. "None ofus are lawyers and wedon't always understandthe legalities of the dis-pute, so we just have tolearn on the fly."

Leber is one of theplaintiffs in a suit theplayers filed against theleague last Friday andwas a Vikings assistantplayer representative forthe union before it decer-tified. He also sat in onsome of the negotiatingsessions in Washington afew weeks ago, so he iswell versed in the com-plexities of the collectivebargaining agreement.

But now that the dis-pute is headed to thecourts, he finds himselfhaving to do more to stayon top of the develop-ments. Leber isn't read-ing "Lawsuits forDummies" or watching "AFew Good Men" to get

acquaint-ed withthenuances,but he isconsult-ing

agents and lawyers anddoing research on theInternet.

"As one of the playerreps for the team I'mkeeping in contact withthe guys and with theunion. Trying to amass asmuch knowledge as Ican," Leber said."Sometimes, honestly,I've had to get on theInternet and (go) to legalwebsites just to learnwhat some of these legalterms mean."

Acquiring that knowl-edge is hard enough for alaw student, let alone fora pro football player whohas spent his adult lifestudying game film, notappellate court rulings.

In the most basic lay-man's terms, 10 playersincluding Leber, TomBrady and PeytonManning have sued theleague for anticompeti-tive practices in anattempt to force the NFLto end its labor lockoutthat began earlySaturday.

"Coming into thiswhole situation with theCBA and the antitruststuff, it's kind of compli-cated to us," fourth-yearVikings safety TyrellJohnson said.

ATLANTA (AP) —Trey Thompkins is savor-ing his first chance to playin the NCAA tournament,especially since his post-season dream was the rea-son he returned for hisjunior season at Georgia.

Georgia finished 12-20and 14-17 in Thompkins'first two seasons. To some,it may have sounded over-ly optimistic when heannounced last April hewould remain in schoolbecause he believed theBulldogs could make thisyear's NCAA tournament.

Thompkins said hefeels good about his deci-sion. Georgia (21-11) is theNo. 10 seed in the EastRegional and will play No.7 seed Washington onFriday night in Charlotte,N.C.

It has been a rocky sea-son for Thompkins. Hemissed the first threegames with a severe anklesprain. He also has hadshin and toe injuries.

Along the way, his scor-ing and rebounding aver-ages dipped slightly. Hewas an AP first team All-SEC selection last year,when he averaged 17.7points and 8.3 rebounds.He was named a second-

team All-SEC pickonMondaywith aver-ages of16.1points and7.5rebounds.

No matter. Thompkinssaid finally making theNCAA field makes up forit all.

"Knowing that I cameback to school for this rea-son and it's going to becarried out makes me feelso much better about thedecision I made," he said.

Thompkins said theadded bonus to the NCAAbid was the chance to playin Charlotte, only a fewhours from Athens.

"They could have sentus somewhere crazy,"Thompkins said. "I'mhappy to be in Charlotteso the Bulldog Nation canbe there and cheer us on."

Thompkins (6-10, 245)is a difficult matchup,thanks to his ability toscore inside and with longjumpers.

The leg injuries hurthis 3-point shooting formost of the season, buthas backed up his claim

that he is healthy for thepostseason.

Thompkins made threeof five 3-pointers whileleading Georgia with 22points and 10 rebounds ina SoutheasternConference tournamentwin over Auburn. Hemade 8 of 10 shots fromthe field and had 19 pointsin Georgia's overtime lossto Alabama in the SECquarterfinals.

Coach Mark Fox likesGeorgia's balance. TravisLeslie (14.5) and GeraldRobinson (12.2) also havescoring averages in doublefigures. Every starter,including forward JeremyPrice (6-8, 270) and shoot-ing guard Dustin Ware,has had 20-point games.

The high-flying Leslieis Georgia most dynamicplayer. Price is the mostphysical around the bas-ket. Robinson, a transferfrom Tennessee State, isthe floor leader who wasthis season's only newstarter.

Irving could return forDuke’s tourney opener

DURHAM, N.C. (AP)— Injured Duke pointguard Kyrie Irving couldreturn for the Blue Devils'NCAA tournament open-er, coach MikeKrzyzewski said Tuesdaynight.

Krzyzewski said Irvingpracticed "a little bit"with the team Tuesday,but he won't know for afew days whether thefreshman will be avail-able for the top-seededBlue Devils' WestRegional opener against16th-seeded Hampton onFriday in Charlotte.

"There is a chance thathe would play,"Krzyzewski said.

The coach added that ifIrving does come back, hewon't start, would seeonly limited minutes andwouldn't be on the courtfor extended periods oftime.

"You don't want to getwhere he gets hurt andhurts something elsebecause you extend himpast" his limits,Krzyzewski said.

The Blue Devils willhold their pre-NCAA

tourna-mentopen prac-ticeThursdayat thearena inCharlotteand "we'llknow a

heck of a lot more bythen," Krzyzewski said.

Irving, a playmakingpoint guard with a quickfirst step, was the leaderof Duke's uptempo attack— and the team's leadingscorer with an average of17.4 points — when heinjured the big toe on hisright foot in a win againstButler on Dec. 4.

Not long after that,Krzyzewski said the BlueDevils were prepared toplay the rest of the seasonwithout him. Irving spentnearly two months in ahard cast to keep the toeimmobilized, and hisright foot was in a bootafter that.

Speculation about hisstatus intensified duringthe past week. Irving per-formed on-court drills inshorts and sneakers with

the Blue Devils' trainingstaff before their ACCquarterfinal againstMaryland, switching tostreet clothes for thegame.

Then after Duke's title-game victory, Irving saidthere was a chance hecould return sometimeduring the tournament.Krzyzewski later saidthat was a long way offand downplayed the com-ments as a young playergetting caught up in theemotion of missing out ona championship.

"I'm going day by day,because I never expectedhim to be where he's attoday," Krzyzewski said."This is like unchartedwaters."

Both Krzyzewski andthe Blue Devils insistIrving's possible returnwouldn't threaten thechemistry developed overthe past three monthswithout him. Duke (30-4)went 22-4 in his absence,rolling to a third straightACC tournament titleand a No. 1 seed in theNCAA tournament for thesecond straight year.
