RCIDA discussesamended leasewith SourceHOV

At Monday’s meeting ofthe Rockcastle County In-dustrial Development Au-thority, the board discussedan amended lease withSourceHOV.

The original lease,signed with SourceCorp inAugust of 2009, containeda clause specifying that thecompany must employ 235workers for a period ofthree years and levied apenalty if that goal were notmet. There was also a rentcredit in another clause pro-viding that the goal of 235employees plus 50 weremet and sustained for oneyear.

Currently, RCIDA saysthat the goal was not metand the penalty to the com-pany is between $50,000and $60,000. However, thecollection process has beengoing on for almost twoyears at this point.

SourceHOV, which is aglobal company, has askedthat these clauses be re-moved from the amendedlease and the square footcharge raised to offset this

particular source of incometo RCIDA. This is the onlylease of its type in thecompany’s global networkand their accounting proce-dures are not set up toaccomodate payment of thepenalty.

At Monday’s meeting,Executive Director HollyHopkins was given the au-thority to negotiate the newmonthly rental fee. Thecompany currently pays$12.19 per sq. ft. or$25,395.83 per month. Theentire amount is applied tothe debt at CommunityTrust Bank for constructionof the building.

RCIDA did agree to re-imburse SourceHOV for$60,000 in alterations/im-provements to the buildingrequired by federal regula-tions. The reimbursementwill take the form of a$3,000 per month rent creditfor 20 months and a startdate of August 2015 forcommencement of the rentcredit was offered by

Brodhead manis renownedhorse trainer

By: Kelsey MattinglyOn a small farm in Rockcastle County sits a riding

barn and obstacle course where a Brodhead man, andformer State Police officer, now full-time horse trainer,Gary Lane, says he is bringing in business and tourismto Rockcastle County that has benefited us in more waysthan one.

With his success and experience at WindsweptStables, in the southwest area of the county, Lane saidhe has been able to attract horses and their riders fromall over the world. He said that training horses and work-ing with Calvary Officers in the State Police has al-lowed him to become a certified Natural Horseman-ship Clinician, who works to train riders as well as theirhorses.

Whether he is inviting in newcomers and their horsesto experience our abundance of beautiful farmland ortraveling the world and expanding his business, Lane isone busy man who has proven that you can do what-ever you are passionate about with a “little help fromthe Lord and a really good horse.”

Having hosted clinics in states such as Tennessee,Indiana, Ohio, and several New England states, Lanesaid that Rockcastle County is by far the most beautifulplace to train.

“I’ve trained horses in all the United States, includ-ing other countries. You will be hard pressed to find aprettier place than Rockcastle County,” Lane said. “Wejust take it for granted because we see it every day. Forexample, the Red Hill Horse Camp is a beautiful placeto experience Rockcastle County.”

attended the free CD releaseconcert were able to pur-chase a CD before the al-bum release date and haveit autographed after the con-cert by band members:Mikey Howard (vocals andrhythm guitar), EricVanZant (lead guitar), CliffWilliams (bass) and AustinMiller (drums).

The album contains tensongs, including the band’shit single “Just Say Jesus”which recently climbed intothe top 20 on several differ-ent Christian music bill-board charts.

7eventh Time Down vo-calist and rhythm guitaristMikey Howard said they areall excited to have finallybecome a mainstreamChristian rock band after alltheir years of hard work.However, he said their maingoal is not to only be a suc-cessful band but to more im-portantly spread the gospelof Jesus Christ.

“I think we would all be

lying if we said we didn’twant to be the biggest andbest band in Christian mu-sic,” Howard said. “Butthat’s not our focus. Our fo-cus will always remain onJesus and we will continueto share His love, His mes-sage and His cross with ev-eryone we come in contactwith.”

Howard said that he, EricVanZant and Austin Millerstarted their first band in1996, while students atRockcastle County MiddleSchool and that Cliff Will-iams joined the band oncehe moved to Mt. Vernonwhile they were students atRockcastle County HighSchool. He said their bandbroke up in high school andthey were all members ofdifferent bands before re-uniting after graduatinghigh school.

“We all kind of bouncedaround in different bands inhigh school but after we allgraduated we got back to-gether,” Howard said. “Ev-ery one of us had decidedthat the music ministry iswhat God wanted us to doso we all sold pretty mucheverything we had and

over the next five to 10years. The plan incorporatesa fishing pier, walkingpaths, landscaping, im-proved camp sites, enter-tainment areas and outdoorplay areas.

Boat dock and camp-ground operator LesterRatliff was very interestedin the suggested layout forthe primitive and RV camp-ing sites. Hale pointed outthat the recommended land-scaping would take aboutfive years before it wouldprovide effective canopy inthe campground area.Proper landscaping willprovide shade and privacy

I need to find me one ofthose tee-shirts, or maybe asweat shirt, or maybe both,that has emblazoned in bigbold letters, front and back,the following message:

I DARE YOU TO ASKME ABOUT MYGRANDKIDS.

Because I figure that ifyou ask first I won’t feelguilty about bringing up thesubject of one or the otherof them in the middle of anyconversation about anyother subject.

For example, you mightask me what I think aboutObama Care and I’d prob-ably respond by saying, “letme tell you about the trickTyler pulled in his tee-ballgame last Thursday.”

Or you might ask what Ithink we ought to do to thetyrants in Syria and I’ll say,“ Well,I asked my two-yearold granddaughter if shecould count to ten and shesaid yep, uno, dos, tress,cuarto, sinco, sies, siete,ocho, nueve, diez.” I swearto you that happened acouple of weeks ago whenmy daughter, Geneva Marie(Genny) her husband, ScottTesh and their three kids,Mazzen, Ramzy and Isabel(Izzy) were here for a visitfrom Houston.

The woman who runsIzzy’s day-care place speaksSpanish so the kid is goingto be bi-lingual before she’sin kindergarten. In themeantime, back to Tyler.

Daughter Jennifer andher husband, Kevin Ochs,live in Richmond and theyhave two boys. If you readthis column regularly, youalready know all about pre-schooler, Tyler Kane, betterknown in this space as TKOand our exploits on behalf ofthe American Diabetes As-sociation. Big brother, sec-ond grader, Braden, getsshort shrift in the press buteven he would not want the

attention if it meant beingafflicted with juvenile dia-betes and the blood tests andinsulin injections his littlebrother has to deal with 24-7.

Both of the Ochs boysare on fall baseball teams.Dad, Kevin is a coach onboth teams . Mom leads thecheerleading squad consist-ing of Grandmas Peggy andLoretta and Grandpa Ike. SoI don’t suppose I need to tellyou that all of us will be atthe Lake Reba athleticfields, there in Richmond,every Tuesday and Thurs-day night until the end ofSeptember. I’d rather bethere than in the dugout at aRed’s game because it’s farmore entertaining .

In Braden’s league, theplayers have to hit pitchedballs--pitched by CoachDad—whose earnest desireis that every kid on the teamgets a hittable pitch everytime the ball crosses theplate. But there’s still a lotof strike outs. On the otherhand, there’s a lot of field-ing errors so making contactwith the ball usually put thebatter on base. This is notjust Grandpa bragging here.Braden knocks the fire outof that ole ball and he canhaul his little behind aroundthe base path.

Tyler’s league, of course,hits the ball off a stationary“tee”, usually into the infieldwhere up to a dozen field-ers try to pounce on it at thesame time. But no matterwhere the ball is hit, the bat-ter only gets to take one baseunless he or she is the lastbatter at the bottom of theinning, in which case it’s anautomatic home run unless,by some rare occurrence, theball is actually fielded andhe gets tagged out.

That’s the situation TKOfound himself in last Thurs-

Tabletop JukeboxesRemember the table-top

jukeboxes that we fed ourallowances to when we werebeginning our teenageyears? I recently read an ar-ticle on the internet abouthow popular these nickel-eating machines were in thelate 50’s and early 60’s. Thestory explained: “We put ournickels in the machine, andour songs played on themain jukebox in the back ofthe room.”

First of all, the story re-minded me of the financialtimes of those two decadeswhen you could cough up aquarter and hear six songs ofyour choice. Today in somerestaurants and bars, thejukeboxes are the new-fangled types with atouchscreen which allowsfor browsing through a vastlibrary of artists and songs.The cost for two songs inthese present establishmentsis a whopping $1.00. Someof the more popular songsactually cost a dollar just toplay alone. Most of thosesame songs can be down-loaded from the internet for99 cents, enabling you tohave them available for life.One guy in the article noted,“I love rock and roll but notenough to pay a dollar persong.” I emphatically agree.

My first memory of atabletop jukebox was atKelsey’s Restaurant onMain Street in Mt. Vernonwhen I was just twelve yearsof age. Kelsey’s was our fa-vorite hangout when wewere merely beginning tolisten to rock and roll mu-sic. Those were the days ofElvis, Roy Orbison, JerryLee Lewis, The Platters,Johnny Mathis, BuddyHolly, and even Pat Boone.

Rock music was just get-ting a strong-hold on teen-agers, and our desire to hearand be a part of the musicwas overpowering. Wepooled our allowances andtook turns selecting our fa-vorite artists, collectivelylistening while hanging outin one of our favorite spots.During that time, we ate po-tato chips (dipped in catsup)and washed them down withthose classic bottles ofCoke. On rare occasions, wemoved en masse to the backof the eating establishmentand danced to our music.

Jukeboxes were mostpopular from the 1940sthrough the mid-60s, par-ticularly during the 1950s.The popularity of jukeboxesis often associated withearly rock and roll music.The displays of bright lightswith the color animationmade them a hit with our agegroup. It was from juke-boxes that we often heardthe newest songs first. Themachines were programmedto record the number oftimes a song was selected.It was one of the first meansof recognizing the truepopularity of rock and roll

music. It was the SeeburgCorporation that introducedan all 45-rpm vinyl jukeboxin 1950, which lead to the45-rpm record becoming thedominant jukebox media forthe last half of the 20th cen-tury.

Some of my friends andI took note of the days whenthe jukebox man was sched-uled to come by to changeout the records. He oftengave us the scratchedrecords which he needed toreplace because of their con-dition. To us, that was a realtreat. We took them homeand played them on our ownhi-fis. Free records were noteasy to find, and we took ad-vantage of his generosity.Some of those records hadso many scratches that wecould hardly recognize thesongs. But we didn’t care –we listened anyway. It wasrock and roll!

For some of us who werethere, Buddy Holly and ThePlatters will never sound asgood as they did when theywere blasting from the hugespeakers of a jukebox. By1956, there were approxi-mately 750,000 jukeboxesswallowing nickels in theUnited States. It was theplace to find the hits wewanted to hear. InRockcastle County thoseunique places included:Kelsey’s, The Dinner Bell,and (of course) Hamm’sDrive-In. We kept the roadshot between these teenagehandouts.

By the late 50s, most ofus had purchased our ownstereo systems and our own45 rpm records. It was thenthat we began to congregateat our parents’ varioushomes in order to listen toour music and to dance. Butwe all got our start listeningto our favorite jukeboxes.Some of us can still picturethe fabulous Wurlitzers,

Last week the questionwas about station uniformsand how much heat theywere to withstand for a 5minute period. I gave you 4choices as answers for thequestion. Did you guess cor-rectly? The answer is 500degrees. According to theNational Fire ProtectionAssociation or NFPA 1975,the Standard on Station/Work/ Uniforms for Fire andEmergency Services, re-quires that no garment willignite, melt, drip or separatewhen exposed to heat at 500degrees for 5 minutes.

Before I move on to thepants of the turnout gear, Ineed to mention the protec-tive hood we wear. The pro-tective hood or what is usu-ally referred to as a Nomexhood, protects thefirefighters ears neck andface. It is generally referredto as a Nomex hood becausethat is the material it is com-monly made from. Howeverit can be made from Kevlar,PBI or other fire resistantmaterial. Protective hoodsare used in conjunction witha self-contained breathingapparatus or SCBA facepiece. Once the face pieceis on the hood goes overyour head for protection.Hoods come is a variety ofcolors and firefighters oftenpurchase one that go withtheir own style.

Turnout pants or bunkerpants are made the same asturnout coats. They have the3 barriers just as the turnoutcoat does. Bunker pantscome with suspenders thathelp hold up the pants. Newbunker pants are now com-ing with a belt around thewaist and some firefightersare opting not to wear sus-penders and rely on the belt.Bunker pants can come withoptions as well. You canhave lumbar support addedto help support your back.Typically bunker pantscome with a pocket on eachleg to store gear in but youcan opt to get a pocket atyour ankle to store a tool ortwo. While I was at the acad-emy in Lexington, I was toldby a Battalion Chief to fillyour pockets because younever know what you aregoing to need. The BattalionChief has since retired but Istill have my pockets full.

A couple of other piecescomplete the turnout gearensemble. First is the handprotection or gloves. Themost important part of astructural firefighting gloveis that they provide protec-tion against heat, steam orcold and they are resistant tocuts, punctures and liquidabsorption. Another glovethat I use is a rescue glove. I

Pleased withprogress towardactivities forchildren...Dear Editor,

As a parent of a childwho is less than 4 years-old,I would like to point out arelatively small but signifi-cant change in our commu-nity that I hope points to-ward even more progress. Iam very pleased to note, af-ter living in Mount Vernon

Recent upgradesto boat dock are awelcome sight...Dear Editor,

I want to congratulate theCity of Mt. Vernon, MayorBryant, and the new opera-tors of the boat dock, Teresaand Lester Radcliff on therecent improvements to theLake Linville area. I havelived at the lake for over fif-teen years and have alwaysthought it was an under uti-lized resource forRockcastle County.

The recent upgrades tothe parking facilities at theboat dock, the beautiful newrestaurant and in particular,the improvements to theplayground are a welcomesight. I have seen many par-ents with their children atthe new playground and mygrandson loves to play bas-ketball at the recently in-

for several years, progresstoward providing activitiesfor our children.

The construction of anew boat playground nearLake Linville was a brilliantidea. It is a valuable addi-tion to the community, es-pecially for those of us whohave no extended family inthis county and who havelittle children not yet ofschool age. Since the con-struction of the playground,the number of parents bring-ing their children to the newfacility to play outside hasincreased dramatically. It isa great place for social in-teraction for the childrenand for mutual parental sup-port. I have spoken withmany parents since the ad-dition of the new play areaand they are uniformly com-plimentary of the changes.Children too often are for-gotten in the search forprogress.

I would like to thankMount Vernon Mayor MikeBryant for making it pos-sible for our children to

stalled basketball goalwhich was donated by theRockcastle Kiwanis club.

Lake Linville is a beau-tiful resource for all of usand I am very pleased thatMt. Vernon is taking stepsto keep it that way. I encour-age everyone to come outand enjoy our own little bitof heaven.

Dr. Larry R. Smith

day evening. Bases loaded.Tyle ris the last batter.Grandpa yells,” kill that oleball TKO!! You da man!!”The Grandmas plead, “youcan do it Tyler” and claptheir hands.

My champ stands awayfrom the tee, takes a fewpractice cuts, steps back upto the tee and scowls untilthe ball has been properlystared down. And then heconnects with the ball on hisfirst mighty swing. The ballhas not been hit this hard allevening and it goes thoughthe defense like a bulletthrough a hornets’ nest.

“Run Tyler! RUN!RUN! RUN!” But TKOneeds no encouragement.He’s off like as shot. Hepasses the first of his fellowbase runners at second andpicks up speed. He passesthe next one just after round-ing third. If he’d had an-other three steps he wouldhave beat the whole packhome.

Okay, I admit that thiswas not in strict adherenceto the rules of the game buthey, it’s tee ball for cryingout loud and they don’t keepscore so what are they gonnado? I give the kid twothumbs up. Tyler grins andnods his head and mouths,“I know.” And I’m think-ing that life doesn’t getmuch better than this.

“On Call”(Cont. from A2)

use these gloves in vehicleaccidents or rope rescue.These gloves do not providethe same protection as struc-tural firefighting gloves butthey do provide protectionfrom cuts and punctures.They allow for more dexter-ity and tactile feel of thetools. This is importantwhen you are tying a knotin a rope or making a cut ona vehicle.

The last piece of thepuzzle is the foot protectionand is one of the most im-portant pieces. You canimagine what we as

firefighters walk and step onduring a structure fire.There is fallen debris, glass,nails and copious amountsof water on the floor. Thereare 2 styles a firefighter canwear, leather or rubber.Rubber boats are the moretraditional style and are veryreliable however leatherboots are now very popularamongst firefighters.Leather boots are morecomfortable than rubber. Ifyou are going to be at astructure fire scene for hoursyou definitely want yourfeet to be comfortable.While you are in the acad-emy at Lexington you areissued a pair of rubber bootsbecause it is tradition. Whilerubber boots are comfort-able, they are not as com-fortable as leather boots. Atleast in my opinion. Bothstyles provide the same pro-tection. They must keepyour feet dry and protectyou from burns, punctures,cuts and crushing injuries.The boots have a steel plateon the bottom to protect youfrom these injuries.

Well that is the completeturnout gear worn for struc-tural firefighting. Othertypes of turnout gear in-clude wildland, aircraftfirefighting, hazardous ma-terials and technical rescuegear. Personal protectiveequipment is designed for a

specific purpose. You wouldnot want to wear structuralturnout gear to fight a wild-land fire or wear a hazard-ous materials suit for tech-nical rescue.

Next week I am going todiscuss the Self ContainedBreathing Apparatus orSCBA. I am also going totalk about some of the atmo-sphere we encounter in astructure fire. For thisweek’s question let’s focuson an SCBA question.Brodhead uses Scott airpacks as our primarySCBA. The cylinders on ourair packs are designed tohold how many minutes ofair? Is it 20 minutes, 30 min-utes, 45 minutes or 60 min-utes? The answer nextweek.

I am proud to be a part ofRockcastle County. Wehave some amazing peoplewho live in these parts. Inrecognition of a few, here isan update on the goings onwith ASPI and the Mt.Vernon Community Garden.

The ASPI 2013 SummerYouth Internship Programsecond session has come toan end. The youth partici-pants set out on a journeyand made some huge ac-complishments. Theyshowed work ethic in allthey did and I hope hadsome fun while participat-ing. We learned much fromhaving them around andtheir impact was a lastingpositive one.

The youth contributed tothe Community Garden,helped with the Sunflower

Forest, dedicated to LeonDavidson and Allen Pensol.They experienced vendingat the local Farmer's Market.Trips were taken to GrowAppalachia sites atGrimaldo Farm, Berea Col-lege and Laurel County Af-rican-American HeritageCenter. During these trips,the students were exposedto cultural diversity.

Best practices for gar-dening and significance ofcover crops, were accentu-ated along with differentmethods and perspectiveson farming and communitygardens.

The importance of buylocal campaigns was dis-cussed. The Internship pro-gram provided firsthand ex-perience working inside thenon-profit world. Weedingand weed control methodswere explored. Plant diver-

sity and the benefits of suchwere covered. The studentslearned and repeated workon trellising, including theFlorida Weave for Toma-toes, tee pees and supportsystems in place. Some ofthe youth canned and pre-served food. The studentsworked with peers and Cen-tre College interns. ASPIand Grow Appalachiawould like to thank TheRCHS staff and the Boardof education for getting be-hind this program and mak-ing it a huge success.

In other ASPI news, aspecial shout out to JackWeaver, Chris Mason, andMayor Jason Medley for or-ganizing an event for the Mt.Vernon Community Garden.Thanks to all who came outAugust 22nd to turn theshed; itwas a sight to behold,with the cooperation of theLivingston and Mt. VernonFire and Rescue Squads plusa few other emergency re-sponders. Mt. Vernon Fireand Rescue broke out theJaws of Life and the menworked as a team to turn theshed now facing in the cor-rect position for the roof toreceive southern light expo-sure. We are ready for JoshBills, of MACED, to installthe solar panel.

To round out the update,we were happy to host theRockcastle Garden Club’sAugust 26th meeting. I wasimpressed and honored tohave them at the Mt. VernonCommunity Garden. Greatconversations exist amongsuch good people. SheilaNeal even prepared a beau-tiful dish on the spot. Shegave us the pleasure to smelland taste a wonderful sum-mer tomato salad. Wecleansed our pallet withcake afterwards.

We are blessed to have afew thriving local businesspeople as long time support-ers: Lester Kirby’s TreeService, Lone Star, Dog-wood Gifts and Garden, andCollins Backhoe and Haul-ing. Thanks for making oursoil rich.

Ever notice how beingaround positive people isuplifting? If that is true thenso is the opposite. Surroundyourself with people thathave pure intentions. Let usbe the encouragers for thebest tomorrow we can imag-ine.

Rockets football team lost tothe West Jessamine Coltslast Friday night 48-19 in theannual Jamboree Bowl.

Last Friday’s game wasthe second straight year theRockets have lost in theJamboree Bowl and it wasonly the third time in thebowl’s 23 year history thatthe Rockets lost the bowlgame.

The Rockets outgainedtheir opponent on offensewith a total of 405 yards tothe Colts 346. However,their inability to get the ballinto the end zone wouldprove to be the deciding fac-tor in the loss as they failedto score on three differentoccasions while they wereinside their opponent’s 20yard line.

Head Coach ScottParkey said the loss was dis-heartening for him and histeam as they outgained theiropponent in total yards onoffense but still lost thegame due primarily to notbeing able to push the ballover while deep in WestJessamine’s territory.

“We were inside the redzone several times and cameout empty. We can’t missopportunities like that toscore on offense and expectto win games,” Parkey said.“We have been working allweek on our red zone of-fense to correct this prob-lem. I believe it will turnaround though and every-thing will click within thenext few weeks.”

Parkey said his staff hada good defensive plan goinginto the game and that hethought the players did agood job executing the plan.However, Parkey said sev-eral missed tackles, badreads and blown opportuni-ties for turnovers hurt themas the game continued.

“The defense playedgreat but they struggled onstopping them on third andlong when we had theirbacks against the wall,”Parkey said. “We alsodropped a couple of inter-ceptions for touchdown op-portunities as well. Momen-tum swings like that can behuge and we will be work-ing in practice on taking ad-vantage of turnover

chances.”Offensively, the Rockets

were led by senior quarter-back Corey McPhetridgewho was 27 of 43 passingfor 293 yards and one touch-down with one interception.

Junior Chance Ansardiled the Rockets in rushingwith 60 yards and onetouchdown. Junior IsaiahAdams rang up 38 yards,senior Jacob Bussell got 9yards with one touchdownand senior Brandon Joneshad 5 yards.

Senior John Hughes hada record-breaking night of-fensively as he tied theschool record for most re-ceptions in a game with 11catches for 159 yards andone touchdown. FormerRocket receiver Josh Halepreviously held the recordwith 11 receptions in agame.

Other Rockets makingcatches were senior TylerHarper with six receptionsfor 78 yards, senior BrandonJones with five catches for35 yards and freshmanChayse McClure with fourcatches for 22 yards.

Defensively, the Rocketswere led by Bussell with atotal of eight tackles and onesack. Senior Jared Lake alsohad a big night on defensewith a total of seven tacklesand one sack.

Other Rockets picking uptackles and assists wereAnsardi with seven, Adamswith six, McClure and Joneswith three each. Hughes,junior Kyle Denney and se-nior Koty Benge were allcredited with two tackleseach and senior R.C. Kirbygot one.

The Rockets will travelto London on Friday nightto take on the South LaurelCardinals. Kick-off is at7:30 p.m.

Parkey said the Cardinalshave improved from previ-ous years under the leader-ship of their new head coachMatt Rymer.

“Rymer is their newcoach and he is workinghard to change the culture ofthe football program atSouth Laurel,” Parkey said.“They run option and powerplays well. Their defensiveline is really good and willpresent our offensive linewith their biggest challengeso far this season. We willhave to win the battle in thetrenches to come out with awin.”

Rockets fall to West Jessamine in Jamboree Bowl

Senior quarterback Corey McPhetridge thows a pass to junior fullback ChanceAnsardi during last Friday night’s 48-19 loss to West Jessamine in the annualJamboree Bowl. McPhtridge led the Rockets offense was 27 of 43 passing for 293yards and one touchdown with one interception. Ansardi led the Rockets in rush-ing with 60 yards and one touchdown.

Senior defensive back John Hughes prepares to tackle a Colt receiver during lastFriday night’s loss to West Jessamine. Hughes had three tackles on defense and arecord breaking night offensively as he tied the school record of most receptionsin a game with 11 catches for 159 yards and one touchdown.

Senior Brandon Jones brings down a Colt running back during last Friday night’s49-19 loss to West Jessamine. Jones had three tackles on defense and five catchesfor 35 yards on offense.

The RCHS marching band kept fans entertained duing last Friday night’s gameagainst West Jessamine. The band also perfomred their “Flight” show at half-time which is a collection of original compostions based on melodic representa-tions of the act of flying.

Senior receiver Tyler Harper reaches out for aMcPhetridge pass while battling with a West Jessa-mine defender. Harper had six receptions for 78yards in the game.

Kentucky's 2013-14 deerseason opens on Saturday,Sept. 7, the first day of the136-day archery season. Theseason continues throughMonday, Jan. 20, 2014.

For the past three sea-sons, record harvests havebeen posted for the month ofSeptember: 5,577 deer in2012, 4,945 in 2011 and

4,407 in 2010."Even though weather

conditions aren't alwaysideal in September, there aresome advantages to earlyseason hunting,” said TinaBrunjes, deer program coor-dinator for the KentuckyDepartment of Fish andWildlife Resources.

Most deer, even mature

bucks, are still in their sum-mer pattern when bow sea-son opens. They are morevisible during daylighthours than later in the sea-son and their daily move-ments are more predictable.Deer frequent crop fieldsand weedy pastures in the

late afternoons, especiallywhen the rising moon is highin the sky at dusk. In Sep-tember, these quarter moonperiods fall on the 12th and26th of the month.

The current statewidepopulation estimate forKentucky's deer herd isabout 750,000, before fawn-ing, with a stable to slightlydecreasing trend. "Hunterswho are monitoring trailcameras or spending timeobserving deer in the after-noons realize it has been agood year for deer reproduc-tion and survival,” saidBrunjes. Heavy rains in thespring and early summercreated lots of food and es-cape cover for deer.

The outlook for deer sea-

son is excellent, but ulti-mately the weather duringmodern gun season in No-vember has the biggest im-pact on overall harvest.

Last season's deer harvestwas the highest on record.Deer hunters reported taking131,395 deer, a 9.8 percentincrease from the 2011-2012season. "A higher percentageof our hunters were success-ful,” said Brunjes. "Therecord harvest was opportu-nity driven. They saw deerand they took them.”

The 2012-13 harvest in-cluded 42 reported entries,31 typical and 11 non-typi-cal, into the Boone &Crockett Club record book.These record deer camefrom 35 of Kentucky's 120counties.

Counties are assigned azone status which affectsseason lengths and bag lim-

its. Kentucky is divided intofour deer managementzones.

The management strat-egy for Zone 1 is herd reduc-tion. For Zone 2 and 3 coun-ties, herd maintenance is thegoal. Increasing the herd isthe aim for Zone 4 counties.This season there were nochanges in the zone statusfor any of Kentucky's 120counties.

Overall age structure ofthe harvest indicates that themajority of hunters are rec-ognizing and passing upmale fawns. Most antleredbucks taken in the 2012-2013 season were 2 1/2years old or older. The fe-male harvest was also prima-rily comprised of adults,rather than fawns or year-lings.

In the past decade, the

Zone 1 counties in northernKentucky have experiencedthe most herd growth."Populations took off in thelate 1990s and have re-mained high,” said Brunjes.

Hunters who would liketo donate venison shouldvisit the Kentucky HuntersFor the Hungry website atwww.huntersforhungry.orgfor the list 57 processorswho are accepting deer.

"This is our 13th seasonof providing nutritious veni-son to needy Kentucky fami-lies,” said Ivan Schell,KHFH Executive Director."The 70,000 pounds of veni-son processed annually pro-vides about 500,000 meals.”

KHFH pays for the pro-cessing and hunters who do-nate a deer receive a carsticker confirming their"doe-nation.”

Howard said they cameup with the band’s name“7eventh Time Down” froma popular verse of the Biblein 2 Kings Chapter 5.

“2 Kings Chapter 5 tellsa story about the redemptivehealing work of God whenwe submit to His will,”Howard said. “In verse 14the Bible says that onNaaman’s seventh timedown he came up clean, sowe came up with the name7eventh Time Down.”

After creating the band,Howard said all four ofthem were originally fo-cused on what God wantedthem to do as His servants.However, he said they allsoon became focused ononly getting a record dealand that they almost dis-banded as a result.

“At some point after ourfounding everything be-came about getting a recorddeal and that is when we al-most quit,” Howard said.“We all sat down togetherand decided that if we weregoing to do this that it wasgoing to be for God’s gloryand not ours. It wasn’t untilthen that the record dealsand tours started to happen.”

The band released theirfirst album “Alive in You”in 2011. The album in-cluded hit singles “Alive inYou,” “What About To-night” and “Jesus Ma-chine.” During the tour fortheir first album, 7eventhTime Down toured with theNewsboys, King and Coun-try, KJ-52, Manifest,Fireflight, Stellar Kart andmany other notable Chris-tian music artists.

7eventh Time Downkicked off their new album“Just Say Jesus” tour onAugust 3rd at the Belfry KJPneumafest in Belfry, Ken-tucky and the tour will endon November 3rd at the Star883 event in South Bend,Indiana.

During their 22 concerttour dates, the band willplay alongside other popu-lar Christian music artistsincluding Matthew West,Switchfoot, Third Day,Abandon, Ryan Stevenson,Sanctus Real, KJ-52, Dis-ciple, Toby Mac and JeremyCamp.

Howard said that touringand spending time on theroad causes a lot of differ-ent emotions for all of them.But at the end of the day, hesaid the sacrifices theymake are worth it to them.

“It is often exciting butstressful and depressing atthe same time as we all miss

our family and friends backhome,” Howard said. “Lifeon the road has all kinds ofdifferent emotions. Some-times we drive 15 hours toplay for 15 minutes in hopesthat someone will acceptJesus Christ as their Lordand Savior. This is what itis all about for us and it’s thecore reason why we do whatwe do.”

By Max PhelpsConsider a Pond

in Your YardOver time fashions come

and go. In the world of pondownership, the invention ofbiofalls units and the no-fussskimmer was a gamechanger. This allowed pondsto come into vogue. Lovely,natural looking, water gar-dens have added a wholenew landsccape dimensionto more than a few yards.Ponding has become a relax-ing lifestyle.

Studies have shown acorrelation between sooth-ing sounds of water andmore peaceful and civilizedbehavior among people.Better health from a relax-ing environment would beone good reason to considera pond at your place.

There is beauty in a qual-ity water feature. Peopletravel great distances to visitfamous waterfalls aroundthe nation and the world. Itis possible to have this beau-tiful environment, on asmaller scale perhaps, inyour home landsccape.

Value is added to a prop-erty beyond the cost of theinstallation with a pristineappearing, well designedand properly functioningpond, stream or waterfall.

A small rubber lined 500gallon pond of recirculatingwater, an energy efficientpump, a couple waterfallsand a short stream to tiethem together and give birdsa shallow bathing area, plussome attractive plants and afew fish is all the averagepond owner wants.Pondless, that is you have awaterfall and a stream but nopond to care for, is a popu-lar option with busy folkwho have no desire for fish.

You may know someonewith a green, ugly, mosquitoand muck infested little spot

Yards to Paradisein the yard they refer to astheir pond. Unfortunately,even current editions ofbooks and magazines ondisplay at “big box” storesand garden centers still en-thusiastically show the nov-ice how to build one of these“lovely” ponds!

The technological break-through of the mechanicalskimmer and the biologicalfilter/waterfall box alongwith mass marketing madeponds a hot landscape itemseveral years ago, evenfolks who had never consid-ered a pond before becamepond owners. (Caveat:some of the old ways mayactually work with bog fil-tration, so success is not justabout fancy gadgets orequipment; rather, successis about creating an ecosys-tem that pretty much takescare of itself...like in na-ture.)

Even with a good design,some creativity and the bestof pond equipment, a lot ofnew ponds fail either fromthe moment they are turnedon or fail over time. This isa shame, and is not a fateone has to be resolved to.

My thinking and advicegoes like this—you don't geta mechanic or a lawn mow-ing guy to build an additiononto your home, instead youseek out an experiencedbuilder with a great reputa-tion—similarly, be wise andfind a pondbuilder with lotsof happy customers to cre-ate the pond of your dreams.

A poorly designed, leakypond will be an expense fora future homeowner to tearout. But a pretty, properlyworking and easy-to-care-for pond will be a major as-set and a joy to own for along time.

If you're still with me onthis paragraph, then indeedyou have considered thetopic of a pond. In closing,I want to mention that pondsare a wildlife habitat. Theybring back some of what thebuilder dozed away to cleara spot to build. And thatbirdbath won't have to befilled up every day or twoanymore, as birds will pre-fer the flowing water in yourstream for their bathingfrom now on. - 0 -

Thinking About Cleaning Your Carpet!Some things to think about…

What is the best way to clean my carpet, should I use theold technology of steam cleaning or the new technology

of dry foam?

Test results from Consumer Report, 2008.

Option 1: Steam Cleaning-How does it work?A. Steam Cleaners saturate your carpet and floor pad with hot (150*degree) soapy water containing lye and beach to help dissolve stains.

B. After your carpet reaches its maximum saturation point thesolution is then extracted by means of a commercial shop vacuum.

The results: Removes less than 20% of the soil from the carpetdriving the remainder down deeper into the carpet fibers. The lye/

bleach solution used by steam cleaners to dissolve stains fadescarpet colors. Drying time is 1 to 5 days depending on the carpet

texture. As a result of the water saturation, carpet fibers harden andthe floor pad remains damp, which promotes bacteria growth andmildewing, causing carpet threads to rot, shorting the life of yourcarpet. Carpet manufactures recommend that you do not steam

clean carpets.

Option 2: Dry Foam-How does it work?C. Carpet fibers are agitated with carpet combs to separate the fibers

loosening dirt particles, which are then dry cleaned with anindustrial strength vacuum.

D. The carpet is then shampooed with horse hair brushes using Dry-Foam lather, a solution that contains six different cleaners and fabricsoftener, color brightener, deodorizer, disinfectant, crystalline agent,

scotch guard, & degreaser. Does not contain lye or bleach.E. Carpet fibers are then groomed to fluff up worn walk areas to

give a uniform look to the carpet.The results: Removes over 90% of carpet soil. Rejuvenates and

brightens colors and patterns of carpets. Drying times is less than 2hours. Floor pads remain dry-Fabric Softener makes carpets soft

again-Promoting the life of the carpet.Carpet manufacturers recommend Dry Foam to clean Carpets.

Frankfort Report...By Jared Carpenter,

State SenatorEvery 10 years after each

national census, Kentucky’sConstitution requires theState Legis-lature to re-align ourvoting dis-tricts accord-ing to popu-lation. TheG o v e r n o rcalled the Legislature backinto Special Session to ac-complish just this. The 34thsenatorial district is nowmade up of Madison andRockcastle counties with aportion southern Fayette.The new plan in the Senatedivides the minimum num-ber of counties and no pre-cincts. It is not a partisan,politically driven map, noincumbents are drawn to-gether, and the map meetsall the tenets of a constitu-tionally correct redistrictingplan.

I am pleased to have thechance to keep representingthe people of RockcastleCounty. It has been a plea-sure to work alongside yourcommunity in efforts to pro-mote real economic devel-opment, defend the valuesimportant to the area, andwork to combat prescriptiondrug abuse. No matter whatthe outcome would havebeen from redistricting, Iwas eager to keep workingon behalf of the Rockcastlecommunity.

Costs of special sessionsare a concern that manyKentuckians have and I cer-tainly share those concerns.Since the Legislature wasscheduled to be in Frankfort,Senate and House Leader-ship decided to move all ofthe August interim commit-tee meetings to the week ofsession, in order to offset thecost of a Special Session.This included the NaturalResources and Energy Com-

mittee which I chair. We hadan informational meetingabout the economic impactof the natural gas and oil in-dustrial on Kentucky. Thissector has grown signifi-cantly both in productionand job creation and becomea viable economic driver.

At the conclusion of thespecial session, the Gover-nor signed House Bill 1, theredistricting bill. With thespecial session in the books,

I will continue my commit-tee work in Frankfort andprepare for the regular ses-sion in January. I can bereached through the Legis-lative ResearchCommission’s toll-freemessage line at 1-800-372-7181. You can also checkthe committee schedule andlearn more about what thecommittees are doing atwww.lrc.ky.gov.

School Board discusses ways to helpstudents become more college ready

Rainbow Ridgeresidents meetwith fiscal court

The fifth annual HealthyJoe Expo men’s health fairwill be held next Thursdayat Rockcastle Regional Hos-pital at 5p.m. in the WellnessCenter on the third floor.

The event will be DuckDynasty-themed with DuckCommander duck calls asdoor prizes, plus the chanceat extra door prizes for thosewho come wearing camou-flage.

Event organizers saypeople might not know it’shealth-related at firstglance.They say it mightlook more like a huntingcamp if attendees get intothe spirit of the evening.

“This is an importantevent from the standpoint ofhealth and awareness, butthere’s no reason we can’tmake it fun as well,” saidorganizer Dwain Harris.

Important health screen-ings such as blood pressurechecks will be available andvouchers will be handed outfor free cholesterol andblood sugar checks as wellas PSA tests.

The PSA test measures

the blood level of PSA, aprotein that is produced bythe prostate gland. Thehigher a man’s PSA level,the more likely it is that hehas prostate cancer. How-ever, there are additionalreasons for having an el-evated PSA level, and somemen who have prostate can-cer do not have elevatedPSA.

The evening will alsofeature a free meal and twoshort presentations, one byDr. David Bullock and an-other by the Rockcastle Re-gional Hospital physicaltherapy department.

This year, though partici-pants are of course free tocome alone. However, orga-nizers are encouraging ev-eryone to bring a friend orfamily member.

“We’re understandingmore and more that healthdecisions aren’t made in iso-lation,” Harris said. “Fam-ily or social networks havea big influence on our healthand lifestyle decisions.”

GRW presentswater rate studyto BrodheadCity Council

By: Doug PonderRepresentatives from

GRW Engineering firm inLexington presented theirwater utility rate study to theBrodhead Council duringtheir monthly meeting Mon-day night.

The City of Brodhead re-ceived the grant in 2012 forthe purpose of evaluatingcurrent and projected waterutility financial conditions,as well as the sufficiency ofexisting rates and charges.The firm also made recom-mendations for rate adjust-ments as well.

GRW employee LauraGilkerson presented the ratestudy to the council.Gilkerson said the city cur-rently has 538 water cus-tomers and three mastermeters that supply an aver-age of 8,000,000 gallons peryear to Western RockcastleWater Association. She alsonoted that the City ofBrodhead had annual waterpurchases from the City ofMt. Vernon for the past three

Ms. Offutt noted that thecounty currently maintainsa portion of the main roadinto the subdivision and thisis the road that the residentswere asking the county toextend maintenance of.Danny Offutt, also a resi-dent of the subdivision, toldthe court that he had gottenan estimate for paving the208 feet long, 18 feet widesection, of $5,108.Ms.Offutt said this wouldhelp the residents since itwas becoming almost “im-possible for ambulances toget in and out.”

Livingston commissionerssay Homecoming success

Livingston Mayor JasonMedley and the city com-missioners spent some timeMonday night, dissectingthe events of the city’sHomecoming over LaborDay Weekend. All agreedthat the event was hugelysuccessful with “no prob-lems except the weather andwe had more people thanwe’ve ever had,” accordingto Medley.

There was one problemin that, when the heavy rainscame, two kayakers and twotubers were caught on theriver. This promptedLivingston Fire Dept. ChiefChris Mason to tell the com-missioners that a couple ofaccess trails to the riverwere needed to aid rescuersto get water rescue vehiclesto the river. Medley saidthere was a four mile stretchbetween Livingston and theLaurel Co. Line without ac-cess to the river. Mason saidhe was looking into apply-

ing for a $30,000 grant forthe project.

Mason also told the com-missioners that all thetown’s fire hydrants hadbeen color coded by waterpressure available and a mapof their location was beingprepared.

In other business, MayorMedley told the commis-sioners to please notice ontheir financial statementsthat over $9,000 dollars hadbeen added to the generalfund balance since they tookoffice in January. The gen-eral fund now has a balanceof $24,000+ “This is despitehaving to buy a new lawnmower, parts for the sewerplant, banners, etc.,” Med-ley said. He told the com-missioners that his goal is toget this balance up to$40,000. “I think this is pos-sible for a town our size.”

Medley also reminded

By: Doug PonderMany items were dis-

cussed during the monthlyschool board meeting Tues-day night that dealt withhow the Rockcastle County

Buzz Carloftius told theresidents “I truly under-stand” their plight but stateand county laws come intoplay.

County Attorney BillyReynolds, who had only ashort time to research thequestion, said that, accord-ing to a county ordinancefor accepting roads into thecounty road system, theremust be 50% occupancy ofthe platted lots, the road(s)must be up to standards andthen must be deeded to thecounty. A public hearingmust also be held and 50%of the property owners mustagree in writing to acceptmaintenance.

Reynolds also noted that,according to the ordinance,the subdivision’s developer,the late Clarence Carter,should have posted a$20,000 bond to ensure that

years of 64,424,500 gallonsin 2010, 60,281,200 in 2011and 59,433,500 in 2012.

Gilkerson said that theanticipated revenues andexpenses between 2011through 2016 will cause thecity to no longer have apositive operating balanceunless they increase theirrates.

Gilkerson went on to sayif the city keeps the currentrates, they will have an es-timated net revenue of -$21,426 in 2012, -$14,914in 2013, -$14,014 in 2014,-$17,184 in 2015, -$20,150in 2016 and -$23,206 in2017. She said these figuresalso includes projected op-eration and maintenanceexpenses of 3 percent eachyear and it also includes the36% increase implementedby Mt. Vernon Waterworksin September 2012. She alsosaid that a loan from RuralDevelopment to construct anew storage tank in 2009

Board of Education can helpstudents become more col-lege ready.

Superintendent DavidPensol said they are creat-ing a Rockcastle County

College Center in January tohelp Rockcastle Countypeople who are looking togo to college or who are cur-rently in college.

“We want a center thathelps Rockcastle Countypeople with ACT issues,college enrollment, finan-cial aid issues, registration,etc.” Pensol said. “We wantto make sure all RockcastleCounty people have all thehelp they need while theyare looking to go to collegeand while they are in col-lege.”

Pensol said he has metwith several other schooldistrict officials about estab-lishing a college center andhe said everything is still inthe early planning stages.He said plans are to locatedthe center in three vacantrooms at the RockcastleAdult Education Centernear the middle school. Hesaid equipment already inthose rooms will be utilizedbut additional equipmentmight have to be purchasedafter the center is estab-lished.

Pensol also told theboard that Program Assis-tant Mary Ann Childresswill be the college center’scoordinator and there won’tbe an increase in her salarywith her additional role. Hesaid they are planning onhaving the college centeropen two days a week afterschool hours but he saidthey will be flexible to tryand meet the parents’ andstudents’ time frames.

“Childress is excitedabout it. She has already hit

Pensol went on to saythat he has also been work-ing with high school offi-cials about the possibility ofoffering more dual creditclasses and regular collegeclasses in the future to stu-dents while they are still inhigh school.

“We want to make all op-tions we can available forevery student who wants toearn college credit whilestill in high school. We arehoping to accomplish this atthe college center in the fu-ture,” Pensol said. “We alsowant to do everything wecan to make sure the stu-dents who feel over-whelmed about the applica-tion process, or their firstsemester, has all the helpand encouragement theyneed available to them.”

ramblings...by: perlina m. anderkin

Just as everyone else, theatrocities in Syria have hor-rified me. But, I am of twominds on what, if anything,needs to be done.

I am upset with the Presi-dent making his emphatic“Red Line” pledge thandithering but at the sametime, I have an aversion tointerfering in another’scountry civil war, especiallywhen neither side seems tobe anywhere near ourcountry’s political philoso-phy (whatever that is thesedays).

I do think there shouldhave been swift and sure re-taliation for the Benghaziattack which took fourAmerican lives. I also defi-nitely think it does matterwhat happened, unlike ourformer Secretary of StateHilary Clinton, who obvi-ously doesn’t with her fa-mous (infamous) “Whatdoes it matter?” statement atthe Senate hearings. I alsoam still upset that there wasno effort to send in helpfrom troops evidently sta-tioned within striking rangeof the tragedy.

I also think everyone willbe very surprised at howquickly Obamacare destroysour health care system. But,that will be the subject ofanother column.

On a local level, I amamazed at how many itemsare considered essentialthese days for a newbornbaby.

Here we go again, but,

back in my day, if you hadbottles, diapers and a crib,you were in business. NowI did forget my walker.Since I never had a playpenI used the walker instead andactually think it helped teachmy children to walk. I alsonever had a diaper bag. If wewent somewhere, I folded adiaper around a bottle andwe took off. I always teasedmy first daughter-in-law thatshe and her baby could sur-vive in the Arctic for sixmonths on the contents shecarried around in her diaperbag.

Anyway, Allison was re-counting to me the proceedsfrom her first shower re-cently and I didn’t recognizehalf the items she was soexcited about receiving. I’vedecided it is a generationalthing. My mother was im-pressed with my high chairand walker and she wouldhave been even more im-pressed with Allison’sBoppy, Bumbo, Pack ‘nPlay and the myriad other“essentials” she is gatheringup.

I was finally forced withthe birth of Allison to use acar seat and it was pure ag-gravation, although, I willhave to admit, safer. Shehated it and cried from thetime I put her in it until Itook her out.

Now you have to haveabout four different sizes toget a child to the seatbeltstage -- it’s just too compli-cated.

The WayI See it

As of last Wednesday, Ihave officially been ac-cepted in to Liberty BaptistTheological Seminary inLynchburg, Virginia whereI will be seeking my Masterof Divinity degree, the stan-dard professional degree forChristian ministry.

I’ve already registeredfor 12 credit hours this se-mester online and I intend tocomplete my entire degreeonline while I continue towork here at the Signal.

The whole process of“discerning the call” to min-istry has not been easy forme. Actually, it has been ex-tremely trying at times. It allstarted in March through mydaily Bible reading. Duringthis time, I began having akind of inward pull towardministry and to attend aBible college or seminary.

When this first hap-pened, I completely ignoredit because I thought it wasjust something I was dream-ing up in my head. I con-vinced myself that it wasn’tsomething God actuallywanted me to do and I re-moved those thoughts com-pletely from my mind be-cause I never want to makethose types of decisions un-less I know for sure that it’swhat God wants me to do.

After the first incident,there were two more distincttimes between March andMay when I knew God wascalling me and each time Iwould once again try to jus-tify it and use my own rea-soning in interpreting what

God was asking of me. Ifound myself thinking “whywould God want to use melike that? God really can’t becalling me to do somethinglike this, not me!”

For each of those threetimes, just when I thoughtthose thoughts were gone,God would lay it on myheart once again. Some-times it was days later,weeks later or even a monthor two. No matter how hardI tried to shut those thoughtsout, God was always persis-tent in bringing it back upto me and laying it on myheart over and over again.

The fourth and final timewas when I heard BrotherStayton’s COME messageon Sunday morning, June9th and it was the icing onthe cake. I finally realized itisn’t just me dreaming it upbecause every time I tried toremove it from my thoughtsand sweep it under the rugit would always come back.So I finally just said “okay,God I will do it.”

I immediately started re-searching and seeking outdifferent Bible colleges andseminaries. I requested in-formation and visited someof the colleges but I wasvery hesitant about makinga quick decision because Ididn’t want to go to a col-lege that God didn’t wantme to attend.

I applied and was ac-cepted to Clear Creek Bap-tist Bible College in

That Pesky KudzuWhen I was about four-

years-old, my dad, HobeGriffin, was named foremanof the State Highway Ga-rage in Rockcastle County.I was too young to remem-ber much about his new po-sition, but I do recall thatone of his duties was to plantkudzu on the sides of US 25and US 150. It was a plandevised in order to controlerosion and to enhance thequality of the topsoil. Littledid anyone realize at thetime how prolific and hardythe plant could be or howsuccessfully it wouldspread.

In approximately threeyears, the vine began itsclimbing, coiling, and trail-ing – on its way to coveringeverything in its path. Na-tive to southern Japan,kudzu acts as an invasivespecies, climbing overshrubs and trees so rapidlythat it not only overtakesthem, it destroys the otherplants with its heavy shad-ing. It kills by literally cut-ting off the process of pho-tosynthesis for anything thatit climbs over, resulting indeath by suffocation.

Kudzu spreads by veg-etative reproduction or byproducing runners. It canalso spread by seeds, whichare extremely hardy. How-ever, they may not germi-nate for several years, whichcan result in the reappear-ance of the kudzu years af-

ter it was thought to beeradicated at a specific site.

Daddy and his crew wereextremely proud of theirwork because in almost notime the sides of the roadsin Rockcastle County werecovered by this aggressivenew plant species. It is strik-ingly deceptive in its looks,as it can appear quite lovelywith its dense mass of green.It is now common alongroadsides throughout mostof the southeastern UnitedStates because it was intro-duced by road crews inmany southern states.

It was actually intro-duced in the US in 1876 atthe Centennial Exposition inPhiladelphia. Since thattime, it is said to have con-tinued spreading at the rateof 150,000 acres annually.

I distinctly rememberriding with Daddy when hebegan his taxi business. Aswe drove the roads ofRockcastle County, hewould point to huge areas offlourishing Kudzu andproudly announce, “Joe, mycrew and I planted this vineall over the county; see howwell it has been growing.”He had no idea how over-whelming this Japaneseplant would become overthe next fifty years. Nor didhe have any clue about howarduous and challenging itwould be to eradicate thisparticular species.Points

It’s been three weekssince my Texans were herefor a couple of days and I’mstill basking in the after-glow.

My daughter, Genny, herhusband, Scott Tesh, andtheir three kids, son Mazzenwho is 11, son Ramzy is 8and daughter Isabel (Izzy) is2.4 going on 12. The Maz isinto basketball and i pads,Ramzo is into guitar and ipads and Izzy-ka-dizzy-ka-do is into absolutely every-thing that isn’t securelylocked and bolted down.

Genny teaches AmericanCulture and English to inter-national students at TheUniversity of Houston.Scott calls himself a “geekwhisperer” for Dell wherehe develops and teachesonline seminars for com-puter technicians across thecountry and around theworld that enable them tocommunicate with folks likeyou and me.

They are both extremelybusy and it’s usually diffi-cult for them get away fromwork and the boys awayfrom school all at the sametime. They managed 9 con-secutive days off in August,4 of which were on the roadand 5 thinly spread visitinga host of friend and relativesin Tennessee and Kentucky.Two days with me is easilythe best present I’ll get thisyear and far better medicinethan anything injected or outof a pill bottle.

We put up lots of photo-graphs on facebook and ex-change email and have theoccasional phone call so it’seasy enough to keep up withhealth issues and sort ofknow what’s going fromyear to year, but there’s

nothing to compare with 36hours or so of touching-hugging-talking-laughing-eating together, broken uponly with a scant few hoursof sleep.

I hadn’t seen them inover a year. In fact, Izzywasn’t even a year old, butwhen they pulled into mydriveway she was yelling“Grandpa! Grandpa!Grandpa!” Her little armsstretched out as she tried towiggle out of her kiddy seat.I slid the van door open andthose arms were around myneck as she glared at herMom and brothers and pro-claimed “This is MYGrandpa. Allllllll mine.” Inother words don’t even thinkabout getting any of MYGrandpa.

I’d been a bit worried thatIzzy would be shy andstandoffish because she cer-tainly wasn’t old enough forme to have made much ofan impression during onlythe handful of times we’dconnected when she was aninfant. But apparently hermom and brothers havemade sure that she’s seenpictures and they have mademe enough of a subject inconversation that she knewexactly who I was the instantshe saw me. And it has beena long, long time since any-thing has touched me sodeeply.

I’m sure the boys hadtold her, “there standsGrandpa”, because I wasimpatiently waiting in theyard as they drove up. Ormaybe it’s just plain olechemistry that I’ve alwayshad with the little girls in thefamily. Both Genny and

In Loving Memory ofIvan McKinney

11/09/21 - 9/18/12His body lies there sleeping

beneath a mound of clay,But Ivan isn’t really there;

he just up and flew away!He soared into the heavens,

with the angels by hisside,

And Jesus stood there wait-ing to welcome him in-side.

While those of us left herebelow, still wracked withgrief and pain,

Often feel if God shouldgrant, we’d call him backagain.

But we must stop these idledreams of one who’smade it home,

And plan that great reunionwhen we gather ‘roundthe throne!

Jennifer were like the ulti-mate Daddy’s Girls whenthey were growing up. AllI know for sure is that Izzy-ka-dizzy-ka-do was eitherin my lap, hanging onto mypants leg or holding myhand for at least half thetime my Texans were here.She spent a little time ridingmy shoulders with her legswrapped around my neckbut not as much as shemight have if I wasn’t cop-ing with Mr. Parkinson 24-7.

Izzy’s Mom, Dad and bigbrothers don’t do baby talknor does her Spanish Speak-ing day care provider. Andall 5 of them dote on her.She speaks in complete sen-tences and she’s growing upwith two languages. Gennywhispered to me, “ask Izzyif she can count to 10. So Idid and she immediately didjust that---in Spanish.

In the early afternoonbefore they got ready to hitthe road, we all went for awalk. Loretta had us pos-ing here and there for pho-tos as we trooped the three-quarter mile loop of CharlieBrown Road and Old Rail-road Grade.

All through the visit I’dbeen sing-songing “Izzy-ka-dizzy-ka do. She simplydon’t know what to do.

She can’t even tie herlittle shoe. No strings. She’sIzzy-ka-dizzy-ka do.” AndI’d come up with someother lines because Izzy wasso absolutely delighted to bethe subject of a song andshe’d demand that I “pleasesing the Izzy song again.”

So we’re walking alongthe road. Genny holding oneof Izzy’s hands and me theother one and we’re prettyquiet because we knew thatin a hour or two the visitwould be over but Izzybroke the silence and themelancholy and you could

have heard all of us laugh-ing when she broke intosong, exactly the same tuneI’d been using.

“Mommy-ka-yummy-ka–mooo”, she sang and ourblues simply evaporatedlike a drop of water hittinga red hot stove.

“I See It”(Cont. from A2)

Pineville. But through Biblestudy, prayer and circum-stances in my life, I finallyrealized God was leadingme to Liberty Baptist Theo-logical Seminary instead soI withdrew from ClearCreek.

There is one phrase thatBrother Stayton used in his“Come” message that hasalways remained in mymind through this wholeprocess and that is “God willuse anyone that is usable.The only ability needed isavailability.” After lookingback at his notes on ourchurch’s website, he ironi-cally even had this phrasehighlighted.

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paulexplains that there are dif-ferent kinds of spiritual giftsthat Christians can have toglorify God and enlightenothers but that God is thesource of them all and Heuses them in different waysas He works through Hispeople. Paul later explains inthe chapter how the differ-ent spiritual gifts make upthe Body of Christ just asdifferent human body partsmake up the human body.

For months now I haveprayed on a daily basis thatGod will use whatever tal-ents or spiritual gifts He hasgiven me for His honor,glory and will. As Chris-tians, we should all desire tobe used by God with the dif-ferent talents and spiritualgifts He has given us and weshould all pray for His di-rection in how to best serveHim.

Regardless of what spiri-tual gifts we have beengiven, as Christians weshould be attentive to whatspiritual gifts God has givenus and how He is directingus to use them. However, todo this effectively we stillneed to surrender our life toGod and make ourselves“available” to be used byGod in the best way that Hesees fit.

I now fully understandthat in order to make myself


usable with the spiritualgifts God has given mem, Imust first make myself fullyavailable to Him. There isno meeting God in themiddle with a compromiseor making myself onlyavailable to Him part-time.

It’s either all or nothing.For me it is ALL and I hopeit will always be the samefor my fellow Christians aswell.

Many years after theplant was introduced, ecolo-gists began to see what washappening and to attempt itslong-term control – only tofind that this process wasalmost impossible toachieve. It was first believedthat the plant could be killedby fire, but this was not suc-cessful. If any portion of aroot remained, the kudzuplant simply grew back andagain took over anything inits path.

In order to properly man-age Kudzu, the plant mustbe cut as close to the groundas possible and then treatedwith a systemic herbicide.This process is an effectivemeans of transporting theherbicide into the plant’sextensive root system. Eventhen, if seeds remain in thesoil, kudzu will begin itsexpansion once more.

After initial herbicidetreatment, follow-up appli-cations are usually neces-sary, depending on how longthe plant has been growingin the area. Incredibly, it canrequire up to 10 years of su-pervision after the initialchemical placement to makecertain that the plant is trulyeradicated.

Daddy and I never diddiscuss his introduction ofkudzu in Rockcastle Countylater in his life, so I don’treally know how he feltabout being a participant inthe kudzu project. Mybrother Al and I often dis-cuss how kudzu originatedin the county and how it hascreated vine-infested habi-tats. We are not proud of itsconquest, but we can’t helpbut think of Daddy when-ever we see it growing overthe tops of trees or coveringold barns and outbuildings.

So I have a personal heri-tage involved with this ex-otic Japanese plant and thelandscape that it has createdover the decades. It seems

that it is here to stay. Andnow, in some ways, I guessit has become a marker ofbeing in the south, espe-cially in the countryside. Tosome of us, it has become a

sign of being home.(You can reach me at

Rockcastle County Cir-cuit Court Clerk Eliza JaneYork recently participated inthe 2013 Circuit CourtClerks Summer College inFrankfort. The Administra-tive Office of the Courtsprovided the judicial educa-tion program June 4-5 forthe state’s circuit courtclerks. (Please see the listbelow for the name of yourlocal circuit court clerk whoattended the college.)

The circuit clerks at-tended sessions on driver li-censing, accounts receivableand the process for handlingcourt filings by people seek-ing to have someonedeemed disabled or courtordered to get treatment foralcohol and/or drug abuse.Susan Stokley Clary, clerkof the Supreme Court ofKentucky, was the keynotespeaker for the college.

The college also includedan overview of legislationpassed by the 2013 GeneralAssembly and House Bill308, which took effect in2011. HB 308 requires Ken-tucky to notify the FBI whena court finds an individualmentally incompetent. TheFBI adds the person’s nameto the National InstantCrime Background CheckSystem, which federally li-censed gun dealers use toscreen their customers. Fed-

eral law prohibits the sale ofguns to anyone adjudicatedas mentally defective or whohas been committed to amental institution.

“In this era of technol-ogy, it’s important for circuitcourt clerks to look for waysto improve our processes,”said Boone County CircuitCourt Clerk Dianne Murray,who was elected presidentof the Kentucky Associationof Circuit Court Clerks dur-ing the college. “The collegeprovided training on therollout of electronic report-ing on HB 308, which willensure that the FBI knowswhen a court has made adecision that impacts aperson’s ability to purchasefirearms. We also got achance to discuss tips forrunning a successful office,including how to keep upmorale during these toughbudgetary times.”

The circuit clerks re-ceived an update from theTrust for Life program dur-ing the program. TheKACCC sponsors Trust forLife to promote organ andtissue donation throughdriver licensing and theKentucky Organ Donor reg-istry.

The college includedeight hours of continuingeducation credit for the cir-cuit clerks.

Frankfort Report...By Jared Carpenter,

State SenatorThis month’s Interim

Joint Committee on NaturalResources and Environmentwas a high-profile onewith an over-f l o w i n gcommit teeroom. Thetopic wasdiscussion ofthe Bluegrass Pipeline withrepresentatives from thecompany itself, the Ken-tucky Oil & Gas Associa-tion, state agencies, and theKentucky Resources Coun-cil which represents land-owners. The pipeline projectwill carry natural gas liquidsfrom the northwest part ofKentucky through the cen-tral south portion on its waytoward the Gulf of Mexico.It promises new investmentwith new dollars but thereare significant private prop-erty concerns.

The Bluegrass Pipeline isa joint project by Williams,an energy infrastructurecompany, and BoardwalkPipeline Partners. Represen-tatives discussed the impor-tance of the pipeline for jobsand energy independence

and stressed their safetyrecord and rigorous safetystandards. They estimatedthat Kentucky schoolswould benefit from $136million in new tax revenueover the first 10 years. Theysaid they were committed towork with landowners andbe respectful of propertyrights. The pipeline wouldbe buried underground. Thecompany will be hosting aseries of town-hall meetingsthroughout the state to makesure information is relayedto communities.

The Public Service Com-mission discussed the limitsof their power to overseenatural gas liquids. Theystated that it would take leg-islative action in the form ofthe new statute for them tohave the power to regulatethe pipeline.

Tom Fitzgerald of theKentucky Resources Coun-cil, an environmental group,warned against the dangersof the pipeline questioningthe routing as well as over-sight of the project.

Finally, Secretary of En-ergy Len Peters spoke to thecommittee. He bluntly ex-plained that the lawyers inhis cabinet do not think that

Bluegrass pipeline develop-ers can invoke imminentdomain which is the conceptthat organizations, usuallypublic utilities but in thiscase a private company, canuse land for an express pub-lic purpose.

During the last few daysof special session on redis-tricting, the Senate passed aresolution urging the pipe-line companies to make ev-ery effort to work with land-owners without using emi-nent domain. As chairmanof this meeting, I wanted tomake sure all sides had aplatform to present theirperspectives. I feel that themeeting was successful andlaid the groundwork for fu-ture discussions prior to ses-sion.

This was a great infor-mational meeting which Isee as one more way we caneducate our constituentsabout this important issuethat will surely also play alarge role in the 2014 Ses-sion. Please call me withany questions, comments,or concerns at 502-564-8100 or toll-free at 800-372-7181. If you miss watchingthe proceedings on KET,meetings are archived atwww.ket.org.

If you finished college inMay and have student loans,it’s almost time to begin re-paying them. These tipsfrom the Kentucky HigherEducation Assistance Au-thority (KHEAA) may help.

One of the smartestthings you can do is paymore than your scheduledpayment amount. The extrais applied to the principal, soyou will pay less interestover the life of your loan.

You should let yourlender know if you changeyour name, address or phonenumber; if somethingchanges your status, such asgoing back to school; or ifyou have problems makingyour payments.

You have several repay-ment plans from which tochoose. The standard repay-ment plan calls for equalmonthly payments over 10years. The minimummonthly payment is usually$50. Other options include:

•Graduated repayment,which starts with lower re-payment amounts that gethigher over the maximum10-year period.

•Income-sensitive repay-ment, with monthly pay-ments based on gross in-come.

•Income-based or in-come-contingent repay-ment, with monthly

amounts based on incomeand family size.

•Extended repayment,which lets you take up to 25years to repay your studentloans if you borrowed morethan $30,000 and none ofyour loans were made be-fore Oct. 7, 1998.

You will pay more inter-est over the life of the loanif you use any option otherthan standard repayment.

If you are having troublemaking payments, contactyour lender immediately.You may qualify for a defer-ment or forbearance, whichcan let you make lower pay-ments or stop making pay-ments temporarily.

It was a beautiful springmorning many years ago,and I had one thing plannedfor the day. Since child-hood, I had heard manytimes of the unusual beautyof Cumberland Falls and themoon bow for which theFalls is known. That morn-ing, for the first time in mylife, I was going to see theplace about which I hadheard so much. Indeed, Iwas excited.

As we went over the hilland approached the parkfrom the south side ofCumberland River, the firstthing I saw was an oldbridge that spans the river afew hundred yards upstreamfrom the Falls. Resting uponlarge piers that are con-nected by artistically de-signed arches, it was, to me,a beautiful bridge that wasconstructed during the dif-ficult years of the Great De-pression. But after lookingat the bridge for a moment,I saw something that, to me,was even more spectacular.The image of the beautifulbridge and the surroundinggreen hills were perfectlymirrored in thecrystal clearwater of the river that calmlyflowed under the bridge.

After finding a goodplace that gave an excellent

view of that picturesquescene, I carefully focusedmy camera and made a pic-ture of it. Through the years,I have looked at that oldblack and white picture andthe reflected image of thebridge and recalled that ex-perience. Each time I do so,I am reminded of somethingof real significance. Fornearly three thousand years,it has been considered pro-verbial that “As water re-flects a face, so a man’sheart reflects the man.”

Regardless of everythingelse, a person is what a per-son is. There is no way toescape it. One may con-struct a façade behind whichone may attempt to hide inorder to project an unrealimage of the self, but sooneror later, the real self comesthrough and is clearly vis-ible. The heart always re-flects the true self.

Harvest Festivals andFarmers Markets Good for

EconomyTis the season for apple

festivals, honey festivals,and numerous other localand regional festivals forboth fun and for making lo-cal purchases from localgrowers and producers.Also, farmers markets con-tribute to the local commu-nity in numerous ways; dol-lars spent locally recirculatelocally. Dollars spent with

huge chain stores, dollarsspent on items imported orfrom places far away are nothelpful to our localeconomy.

Why make this a land-scape issue? Well, first, youmay want to grow some ofyour own food in your land-scape. Further, you mayhave friends or family whofarm, and buying their pro-duce that is both fresher andgenerally cheaper helpsthem, and again recirculatesthe dollars locally. Or if

you're a service contractoror a merchant, you know thelocal economy affects yourincome, and what you canafford. That swimming poolor patio or pond or sunroommay not get to happen if thelocal economy sours toomuch. That real estatesaleslady may close fewersales at reduced fees. Howmany people stop to realize(or look at the labels at thestore) to see where the itemthey're about to buy is com-ing from? The bottom line Iwant to draw your attentionto in today's column is thatwhen those profits go to for-eigners (or even distantAmerican cities), it dragsdown the livelihoods of al-most all the local citizenry.

Growing some yourself,be it from a blueberry bush,a pawpaw tree, or a farmpond stocked with fish is areally sensible activity. Notto mention the exercise andrelief from mental stresseswe are bombarded withthese days. Even the com-puter and tv can get us allwound up—back when kidswalked to the creek with apole over their shoulder, wehad a much more decentcountry. And back whenfamilies grew all or part ofwhat they ate, they had agreater appreciation fortheir bounteous blessings.And the local economy af-forded kids out of school forthe summer a chance tomake some spending moneypicking berries, housing to-bacco, hauling in bales ofhay, and so forth. Today thelocal economy is about druggrowing or making, andthat's a real shame. But, didanyone think or have theforesight to know buyingCalifornia strawberries,Washington apples, Mexi-can tomatoes and peppers,or Chilean grapes had any-thing to do with that?

Helping your neighborwho has a few veggies bythe highway for sale, or at alocal farmers market, orbuying some eggs from acoworker at the office canyield some mighty finevittles. It can also make ourcommunities more prosper-ous—and that ain't tooshabby for just a little incon-venience.

Not to even mention—how much tastier fresh lo-cal produce is. And, localapples may have a fewbumps and not have anywax to make them shine, butdo you really want to knowwhat is on those peels orwhat the wax is made outof? If it comes from some-one you know, you can sim-ply inquire if you have con-cerns—most farmers are themost honest folks around.

As you see pumpkins,apples, honey and a varietyof other local produce forsale, consider stopping andspending some of that gro-cery money with a neighbor.You'll receive excellentproduct for a fair price, andyou'll feel good about help-ing keep the local growersand the local economystimulated.

September is NationalChildhood Obesity Aware-ness Month. In Kentucky,efforts to curb childhoodobesity continue to gainmomentum. A number ofefforts are underway in-cluding the work of theShaping Kentucky’s FutureCollaborative, a multi-foundation approach topolicy-level change de-signed to make the healthychoice the easy choice.

“Lowering childhoodobesity rates is a positivelever for overall healthchange, reduc3ed risk ofchronic disease and an im-proved quality of life.Foundation polling and re-cent news reports signalgrowing awareness amongKentuckians of the impor-tance of and the need forlowering our obesityrates,” said Susan Zepeda,President/CEO of theFoundation for a HealthyKentucky. “A recentGreater Louisville Project(GLP) report examined theimpact of obesity on health,education, jobs and a vi-brant economy. Goodhealth and a good economyare inextricably linked”

Two important studiesundertaken through theCabinet for Health andFamily Services – ShapingKentucky’s Future: Poli-cies to Reduce Obesity(2009) and UnbridledHealth: A Plan for Coordi-nated Chronic Disease Pre-vention and Health promo-tion (draft in preparation)– contain policy recom-mendations for work com-munities, corporations,schools and the state itselfcan do, to help us all eatbetter and move more.Nationally, the recent re-port F as in Fat: How Obe-sity Threatens America’sFuture 2013, compiled byTrust for America’s Healthand the Robert WoodJohnson Foundation willbe discussed during a Con-gressional briefing inWashington, DC Thursday(September 12) morning.The report includes a grow-ing set of strategies thathave improved health —but stress that they are notyet implemented or fundedat a level to reduce obesitytrends significantly. Somekey recommendationsfrom the report regardingstrategies that should be

taken to scale include:•All food in schools

must be healthy;•Kids and adults should

have access to more oppor-tunities to be physically ac-tive on a regular basis;

•Restaurants shouldpost calorie information onmenus;

•Food and beveragecompanies should marketonly their healthiest prod-ucts to children;

•The country should in-vest more in preventingdisease to save money ontreating it;

•America's transporta-tion plans should encour-age walking and biking;and

•Everyone should beable to purchase healthy,affordable foods close tohome.

“Here at home, Ken-tucky will host the South-ern Obesity Summit in2014 and several organiza-tions are hard at work to ad-vance health policies thatsupport sound nutrition andactive living at work, atschool and in our commu-nities,” concluded Zepeda.“These efforts create op-portunities to discuss strat-egy and create more aware-ness of the compellingneed to reduce childhoodobesity rates in the Com-monwealth.”About the Foundation for

a Healthy KentuckyThe Foundation for a

September declared asNational ChildhoodObesity Awareness Month


Senior wide receiver John Hughes gets tackled during last Friday night’s loss toSouth Laurel. Hughes had a big night, catching four passes for 74 yards and onetouchdown.


Rockets dropped to 0-3 onthe season, following a 19-8 loss at South Laurel lastFriday night.

The number of turn-overs on offense, and theinability to score,m wouldprove to be the decidingfactors in the Rocket’s lossas they had four turnoversand failed to put any pointson the scoreboard duringthe first three quarters ofthe game.

The Rockets didn’tscore until early in thefourth quarter when seniorquarterback CoreyMcPhetridge threw a 27yard touchdown strike tosenior wide receiver JohnHughes. The two point con-version was good to cutSouth Laurel’s lead to 8.However, time would runout for the Rockets as theywould fail to get into theend zone on two moredrives making the finalscore 19-8.

The Rockets offense

was led by McPhetridgewho finished the game 15out of 30 passing for 243yards and one touchdownwith two interceptions.

Junior fullback ChanceAnsardi led the ground at-tack with 35 yards on sevencarries. Junior running backIsaiah Adams rushed for 4yards on five carries.

Senior Tyler Harper ledthe receiving corp, catchingfive passes for 97 yards. Se-nior John Hughes also hada big night, catching fourpasses for 74 yards and onetouchdown.

Other Rockets makingreceptions were freshmanChayse McClure with onefor 26 yards, senior Bran-don Jones with two catchesfor 25 yards, junior KyleDenny with two receptionsfor 17 yards and sophomoreDylan Rowe with one catchfor 4 yards.

The Rockets defensewas led by Ansardi with 12tackles. Senior Jared Lakealso had a big night defen-sively with 7 tackles, in-

cluding one sack and an as-sisted sack.

Other Rockets pickingup tackles and assists wereMcClure with 8, Hughesand Denny with 6 each, se-nior R.C. Kirby with 4, in-cluding one sack, seniorKoty Benge with 3, includ-ing one sack, Adams got 3and Jones had 2. FreshmanDalton Rowe and juniorJustin Hughes were cred-ited with one each.

Head Coach ScottParkey said the missed op-portunities on offense hurtthe Rockets in the gameand it also hurt the defenseas they were on the field fora huge percentage of thegame.

“We had 8 droppedpasses, two fumbles andtwo interceptions on of-fense. We only had one of-fensive penalty which wasthe only bright spot,”Parkey said. “This reallyhurt the defense whoplayed well but the offensewas not able to relieve anyof the pressure off of them.”

Parkey said he waspleased with the overallperformance of the defenseas they defended SouthLaurel’s option offensewell and held them to only19 points in the game.

“The defense playedpretty well, especially sincethe option offense is verytough to defend. DefensiveCoach Josh Martin did agreat job adjusting to theoption offense throughoutthe game,” Parkey said.“But in order for the de-fense to be really good, theoffense needs to put pointson the board and get aheadearly which allows them tocontrol the tempo of thegame.”

Parkey went on to saythat this was one of themost disappointing losseshe can remember as headcoach.

“The team doesn’t needto let mental or emotionalbreakdowns control themin the game. We can’t ex-pect to win if we let thesethings get to us,” Parkeysaid. “But we will bounceback from this and the teamwill be looking to seek re-demption against WhitleyCounty next week.”

The Rockets will travelto Williamsburg on Fridaynight to take on the Whit-ley County Colonels. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.

Parkey said the Colonelsonly have three starters ondefense from last season’steam. However, he saidthey still have enough tal-ent and experience on of-fense to make them a toughcompetitor.

“They are big, physicaland they have speed in theright positions. They arealso hard to defend withtheir option-oriented of-fense,” Parkey said. “Weplay them on their turfwhich is a tough place forus to play. We will have tobring our A game and takecare of the ball if we wantto come out ofWilliamsburg with a win.”

Rockets lose to South Laurel,19-8, for third loss of season

Senior quarterback Corey McPhetridge scramblesfor extra yards during last Friday night’s loss atSouth Laurel. The Rocket offense was led byMcPhetridge, who finished the game 15 out of 30passing for 243 yards and one touchdown and twointerceptions.

Senior wide receiver Tyler Harper gets chased downby a South Laurel defender during last Fridaynight’s 19-8 loss. Harper led the Rockets receivingcorp catching five passes for 97 yards.

Rockets Defensive Coordinator Josh Martin gives the players a pep-talk duringa timeout. The Rockets dropped to 0-3 on the season following the 19-8 loss atSouth Laurel last Friday night. The Rockets will travel to Willamsburg on Fri-day night to take on the Whitley County Colonels. Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m.

The second option wouldincrease the amount perthousand sold to WRWA by54% and only have a sys-tem wide rate increase of1.5% for 2013, 2014, 2015and 2016. Gilkerson saidthat the city currentlycharges WRWA $2.93 perthousand which is the samerate they buy it from Mt.Vernon. She said that byadding the city’s operationand maintenance cost to thecurrent WRWA rate of$2.93 per thousand gallonswould result in a 54% in-crease to $4.52 per thousandgallons.

“You all don’t chargeWRWA any more than whatyou buy it from Mt. Vernon.We’re suggesting that youall pass along the operationand maintenance costs ofsupplying that water toWRWA,” Gilkerson said.“You have expenses of thatwater passing through yourlines and expenses of it be-ing stored in your tanks.WRWA should meet that.”

Councilman KeithGraves said they need to re-think everything before theyvote for one of the twoplans. He said they need tofigure rates up for the aver-age customer before theymake a decision.

“When an average citi-zen hears about a 6% rateincrease or a 54% rate in-crease, it makes them wantto pull their hair out,”Graves said. “But if we layit all out for them and saythis will affect your bill onan average increase of $6 amonth it makes sense tothem.”

Councilman Mark Burasagreed with Graves and saidthey should discuss thingsfurther before making ahasty decision.

“It hasn’t been long sinceour customers had a 36%increase in September 2012after the City of Mt. Vernonincreased their rates,” Burassaid. “Then if we comealong and add a 6% in thefirst year on top of that.That’s almost a 50% in-crease for them.”

Water SuperintendentRoger Bray reminded thecouncil that if they don’tkeep a positive balance thatit will be harder for them toget loans or grants.

“With Cumberland Val-ley if you don’t get your buttout of the red it is hard toget money,” Bray said.“Pretty much if you try toget any loan or grant moneyyou aren’t going to get ituntil you’re out of the red.”

Gilkerson went on tosuggest that the city choosethe second option whichwould increase the amountper thousand sold to WRWAby 54% and only have a sys-tem wide rate increase of1.5% for 2013, 2014, 2015and 2016. She said they be-lieve this plan will accom-plish the best chance ofminimizing impact on the

just be an expansion and nota replacement for the thingsour guidance counselorshelp students with.”Mattingly said.

Mattingly said that theguidance counselors havestarted requiring interviewsfor graduating seniors tohelp them identify their ca-reer goals, college choice,college major, etc. She saidthe counselors could referthe students to the collegecenter based on what theygather from the interview tohelp better serve their needseven after they graduatehigh school.

“These interviews arevery detailed and they do agood job of uncoveringwhat the student’s true goalsare for their life,” Mattinglysaid. “They encourage themto reach for their goals andthey can now also reassurethem that they have all thehelp they need in reachingtheir goals.”

Stallsworth went on tosay that she thought creat-ing a college center wouldbe a great idea for the citi-zens of Rockcastle County.

“I know a lot of studentsin college that I work withand they are always finewith filling out the FASFAtheir first year because theyhave people at the highschool to help them,”Stallsworth said. “But whenthey have to fill it out againtheir sophomore year a lotof them are lost and don’thave that help anymore. Acollege center would be agreat thing to have for caseslike this.”

Pensol also presented theEducational Planning andAssessment System resultsto the board and he said thestudents were close to meet-ing the state average scoresin the core curriculum ofEnglish, mathematics, read-ing and science.

The system involvesthree phases of testing, theExplore which is given to8th graders, the Plan whichis given to 10th graders andthe ACT given to 11th grad-ers.

Students in the eighthgrade scored 15.4 on thecomposite score of all sub-jects, which tied the 15.4state average.

In science, 8th gradersscored the same as the stateaverage 16.7; English was14.5 to 14.6 for the state av-erage; mathematics 15.0 to15.4 and reading 14.8 to14.5.

10th graders were a littlefurther back in the compos-ite score 16.7 to 17.3 stateaverage. In English it was16.2 to 16.6; mathematics16.6 to 17.1; reading 16.3 to16.8 and science 17.3 to18.1.

11th graders were closeto the composite score forall subjects 18.5 to 19.2. InEnglish it was 17.0 to 18.4;mathematics 18.1 to 18.9;reading 18.7 to 19.4 science

funds were available for roadrepairs if needed.

Reynolds told the group,“I don’t see any way the fis-cal court can fix these roadswith this ordinance.”

The problem might arisein this particular subdivisionthat a single property ownerowns, two, three or even fourlots thereby causing the re-quirement for 50% occu-pancy of the lots to come intoplay since each of the lotsare counted individually un-der the 50% requirement.

Several options were dis-cussed including rescindingat least a part of the existingordinance and levying a spe-cial assessment on abutingproperty owners for a pro-portional share of the cost ofblacktopping. Even if the lastoption were considered, theroads would still have tomeet requirements estab-lished to be included in thecounty road system.

It was decided the firststep needed was to ascertainthe occupancy level of thestreets in the subdivision.

In other action, the courtaccepted the bid of Humana

2% savings on premiumcosts.

The contribution by em-ployees to their health careplan was left the same. “Inpast years when our premi-ums have increased a lot,we’ve not increased the em-ployees contribution so weneed to leave it where it isnow,” Magistrate BillMcKinney told the court.

Wage increases for em-ployees was also discussed.The magistrates were giventhe current wages of em-ployees and told that a $1 anhour increase would amountto an additional cost of$127,500, including ben-efits, per year to the county.After studying the wage in-formation, Magistrate RalphAllen told the court,“We pay some employeesmore than they’re worth andsome not enough but they allhave the same expenses,”and he made a motion togive the $1 per hour in-crease. His motion was sec-onded by Lee Earl Adamsand, in a voice vote, the mo-tion ended in a tie withCarloftis siding with Allenand Adams and MagistratesBill McKinney, WilliamDenny and Gary Burdette allvoting no.

Adams then made a mo-

for the county employees’health insurance coverage.Humana’s bid came in$2,485.45 per monthcheaper than the current pre-mium with Anthem. How-ever, according to PatriciaMartin, secretary toCarloftis, this savings will bemore than nullified if theeight employees, who cur-rently do not have insurance,decide to join the plan tokeep from being penalizedunder Obamacare. Martinsaid the additional cost to thecounty will be about $5,000per employee per year.

The court also voted tokeep providing the $500 flexcards, which each employeeenrolled in the insuranceprogram receives to helpdefray the cost of their de-ductible. Carloftis told thecourt that the total cost to thecounty per year for thesecards could run as high as$27,000 but, in the first year,the costs accumulated byemployees was only around$18,000. Figures from thesecond year were not avail-able.

The court also voted tobundle their vision, dentaland life insurance plans,along with their health insur-ance, under Humana whichwill result in an additional

tion to make the increase 50can hour saying, “Nobodygives a $1 an hour raise thesedays.” And, Denny notedthat “state workers haven’thad a raise in seven years.”McKinney secondedAdams’ motion and allvoted yes, except for Allenwho wouldn’t record a vote.

The 50c an hour increasewill add an additional$63,000 to the county’s an-nual payroll costs.

Following McKinney’sopinion that the $1 an hourincrease was too high,Carloftis remarked that thecounty “could afford it” towhich Denny retorted that“we won’t be if we keep do-ing this.”

As one of the last itemsof business, the court votedto transfer $300,000 fromthe occupational tax fund tothe general fund. $75,000 ofthat amount will be trans-ferred to the jail fund.

The county also ap-proved the board ofeducation’s tax rate for thecoming year. The board tookthe compensating rate of40.4c per $100 assessedvalue. The county also tookthe compensating rate of7.8c per $100 assessed valuewhich will garner them$295,000 in revenue.

I would like to take a moment to thank the community ofMt. Vernon and the people of Rockcastle County. I have beenin practice here for the past 4 years and have loved the peopleI have met and had the honor of being the one they came towhen they needed chiropractic care.

So, it is with a heavy heart, that I say that I am closingMt. Vernon Chiropractic. It has not been an easy decision oran easy road to get here to this point. I cherish the friendshipsI have made and the people I have seen on a daily basis.

We live in an increasingly tougher economic time with lots ofchanges in the healthcare fields coming soon. This decisionwas made out of necessity, not because I wanted to leave.

We all want to provide for our family the best we can andsometimes we have to make the tough choice to be able to dothat.I would love the opportunity to continue serving yousince I am not going very far.

Giles Corey and His Curseon Salem, Massachusetts,

Part IILast week, we began the

study of Giles Corey and hiscurse on Salem, Massachu-setts. The story began in1692 during a “pure” era inthe country's history. Thecolonists of the area ledsimple lives governed bystaunch religious beliefsand customs. They, at leastthose around Salem, har-bored great fear of the deviland witches. It was a deathsentence to be found guiltyof the crime of witchcraft.

The offenders werehung, burned at the stake,or drowned. If the accusedsank and drowned, theywere guilty, whereas the in-nocent would float to thetop and escape drowning.

To make matters evenworse, the governmentcould seize their land andall that they owned, evenpersonal effects. GilesCorey had the forethoughtthat in the rash of accusa-tions circulating, he pre-pared a will giving all hehad to two sons-in-law, thusprotecting the property.Giles, being a man ofmeans, wanted to protectwhat he had for his family.He had a wife, who diedduring the witch trials, butwasn't accused. Her deathwas probably due to the ex-treme torture of her hus-band. Giles had three sur-viving daughters, butwomen weren't allowed toown property at the time.

A 19-year-old girl,Mercy Lewis, had accusedGiles of being a witch. Hewas taken for questioning,but refused to plead guiltyor innocent. Therefore, hehad to be “pressed”in orderto get a plea. He was takento a field near the jail, wherehe was lain in a pit, a board

Strange...But True?by: Tonya J. Cook

put across his body, andheavy stones applied atophis body, attempting to geta plea. He was given only afew bites of bread and a fewsips of water, quite an or-deal for an elderly man.

A plea was never uttered,so he couldn't be tried. Hedied an innocent man,therefore, his property waspassed to his family as hehad wanted. As Giles Coreydied, with his dying breath,(which makes a curse stron-ger, I've heard) cursed thetown of Salem and the of-fice of the sheriff. Soon, thecurse came calling. Onlyfour years later, in 1696,Sheriff George Corwin diedof a heart attack while in of-fice. He was only the firstto taste the curse. Everysheriff to follow died in of-fice or was forced out of of-fice due to a heart or bloodproblem according to Sher-iff Robert Ellis Cahill, whohad to leave office due to ablood condition. Today, thetown of Salem has no offi-cial office of sheriff.

But remember, the cursewasn't just limited to the of-fice of the sheriff; it in-cluded the town of Salem,as well. The ghost of GilesCorey is said to wander inthe area of the cemeterywhere he is buried. It is thesame location where he waspressed to death and died,September 19, 1692 aroundtwelve noon. When a sight-ing of Giles Corey occurs,disaster awaits Salem. Hissighting is like an omen ofpending doom. He was seenwandering the streets nearthe cemetery prior to thegreat fire of Salem in 1914that almost destroyed thetown.

Through the years, manyhave seen the ghostly fig-ure of Giles Corey wander-ing in Salem. It is said that

USDA Farm ServiceAgency reserves funds eachyear to make loans to so-cially disadvantaged appli-cants to buy and operatefamily-size farms. A sociallydisadvantaged farmer is oneof a group whose membershave been subjected to ra-cial, ethnic, or gender preju-dice because of their iden-tity as members of the groupwithout regard to their indi-vidual qualities. For the pur-poses of this program, so-cially disadvantaged groupshave been defined aswomen, Blacks or AfricanAmericans, American Indi-ans or Alaskan Natives, His-panics, Asians, and NativeHawaiians or other PacificIslanders.

Types of Loans• Operating loans may be

used for various short andintermediate type creditneeds, such as the purchaseof livestock and equipmentand annual operating ex-penses.

• Farm ownership loansmay be used for the pur-chase and/or improvementof farmland and buildings.

Who May BorrowIndividuals, partnerships,

joint operations, corpora-tions, limited liability com-

panies, and cooperatives pri-marily and directly engagedin family-size farming op-erations may apply. A fam-ily size operation is consid-ered to be one that a familycan operate and manage it-self.

Terms and Interest RatesRepayment terms for di-

rect operating loans dependon the collateral securing the

loan and usually run from1 to 7 years. Repaymentterms on direct ownershiploans are up to 40 years.Guaranteed loan terms(made through commerciallenders, i.e. bank) are set bythe lender.

Interest RatesCurrent interest rates are:• Operating Loans: 1.875• Farm Ownership

Loans: 4.000 %• Emergency Loans:

Is is all a coincidence? Isthere a curse affecting Sa-lem? Was Giles Corey awitch to have such powerover three hundred yearslater? Anybody want to besheriff in Salem?

Local educatortakes professionaldevelopment overseas

By: Kelsey MattinglyRockcastle County Middle School 7th grade science

teacher Ken Mattingly recently took a week off fromschool to share his professional development in educat-ing students (something he’s been doing in the U.S. foryears) with instructors in Hong Kong, China.

On August 17th, just a few days into the new schoolyear, Mattingly said he left the United States for a week-long trip to Hong Kong with three other educators fromOhio, through Pearson, an education company. He saidhe has been working with Pimser, another educationcompany, for several years and was grateful that Pearsonwanted him on board and gave him the opportunity totake his work transcontinental.

“I was surprised by it, it kind of came out of the blue.It was the opportunity of a lifetime,” Mattingly said. “Iappreciate my principal and superintendent for allow-ing me to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Mattingly said that the work he is able to do in placessuch as Portland, Colorado and Kentucky were the samepresentations he took overseas. He said the point is notto improve the way students are assessed, it’s to im-prove the way students learn. He was able to help edu-cators in Hong Kong understand this concept. Thoughthere were difficulties such as the language barrier,Mattingly said that his audience in Hong Kong was ea-ger to learn all he had to offer.

“There were some language things you had to clearup. They don’t use the term “post-test” and don’t haveany idea what “blue print” means, so you had to kind ofwatch your language and be a little bit more patient,”Mattingly said. “If you speak too fast or present too muchinformation you’ll confuse them. It has nothing to dowith intelligence, it’s just the language barrier.”

Mattingly went on to say that he believes he made animpact on the educators he encountered during the courseof his work-packed week in China. He claimed therewasn’t much time for leisure, stating that their day be-gan at 6 a.m. and ended around midnight and that most

At Monday night’s regu-lar meeting of the Mt.Vernon City Council, the taxrate for 2013 was set at 16.6cents per hundred dollar as-sessment of real estate andpersonal property.

The council chose to takethe compensating rate of16.2c plus 3%. Mayor MikeBryant told the council thatthis rate gives city taxpay-ers a small break from lastyear’s rate of 16.7c and stillgarners about $3,700 in ad-ditional tax revenue for thecity. The 16.6c rate willbring in an estimated$122,497.74 in real estatetax revenue, as compared to$118,775.31 in 2012 and$13,613.89 in personalproperty revenue. The 16.7ctax rate on motor vehiclesis unchanged from lastyear’s rate.

In other business, Bryanttold council members thatthe only bid received forblacktopping city streets

was ffrom Greer Bros. for$78.50 per ton. The mayorsaid this was an increase ofabout $10 over last year’sbid but attributed it to fewerroads in the city needing re-surfacing this year. “This isthe high end of the bid themore blacktop used, theprice will go down,” Bryanttold the council. He saidonly a couple of streetsneeded resurfacing beforewinter and most of the workwill be done in the spring.

Bryant also brought thecouncil up-to-date on thebeauty pageant which willbe a part of this year’s Bit-tersweet Festival. The pag-eant itself will be held onTuesday, October 1st at thehigh school auditorium andall participants will be intro-duced as part of the festivalevents on Saturday, October4th. The mayor told thecouncil that the pageant willinvolve a “broader spec-trum. It will not just be a

beauty contest.”The city’s newest police

officer was introduced to theCouncil. Shay Helton, 25,was introduced by ChiefBrian Carter who told the

council that Helton willlikely begin the 21-weektraining course at the policeacademy in Richmond onOctober 28th, since theSept. 30th class was filled.

Carter also gave thecouncil the activity reportfor July and August. Com-bined, the figures were: to-tal calls for service, 965;non-injury accidents, 22;injury accidents 5; total ar-rests 37; drug charges 16;traffic violations, 40; othercriminal charges 15; war-rants served, 21; casesopened, 19; DUIs, 3 and in-dictments 2.

Mt. Vernon Fire Dept.Chief David Bales alsomade his report to the coun-cil for August. It showed re-sponses to: 10 accidentswith injuries; two accidentswith injuries and entrap-ment; two vehicle fires; onetractor trailer accident; onemotorcycle accident withinjuries; one structure fire;one woods or brush andgrass fire; three fire alarmactivations; two smoke in-vestigations; CSEPP train-ing; one rescue from a roofand one assist to EMS togain entry into a residence.

Burdette recently sentencedthe fifth and final defendantfor her involvement in theshooting death of JackieBullock, 34, of Mt. Vernon.

Jessica Hailey Robinson,22, of London was sen-tenced by Burdette inRockcastle County CircuitCourt last Friday to 26 yearsin prison.

During her five day jurytrial in August, the juryoriginally convictedRobinson in RockcastleCounty Circuit Court andfound her guilty of wantonmurder, complicity to firstdegree robbery and com-plicity to manufacturemethamphetamine. She wasalso found to be a persistentfelony offender because ofher prior felony offenses in2011.

Twelve defendants wereindicted by a RockcastleCounty Grand Jury on Fri-day, September 13th.

Indicted were:Joetta M. Garrett-Head,

48 of Bussell Street,Brodhead and Rose C.Osborne, 60 of LibertyDrive in Mt. Vernon werenamed in a joint indictment.Garrett-Head was indictedfor theft of identity and

Osborne for complicity totheft of identify. Bond forboth women was set at$25,000 cash/property.

Phillip Clay Falin, 38 ofWhitlin Hollow Road, Mt.Vernon was indicted on twocounts -- theft by unlawfultaking of property over $500and as a persistent felonyoffender. Falin’s bond was

complicity to first degreerobbery and 22 years forcomplicity to manufacturemethamphetamine. ButRobinson would have onlyhad to serve 22 years inprison as the jury recom-mended that the sentencefor the three counts beserved concurrently.

However, during sen-tencing last Friday, Burdetteadded four years onto thejury’s recommendation dueto the nature of the case andhow it resulted in a murder.

“Meth and illegal drugsare a scourge on our com-munities all the way fromthe city streets of Louisvilleto the countryside ofRockcastle County,”Burdette said. “But in thisparticular case the result ofmaking meth and usingmeth led to the death of aman.”

Besides the 6 blood-re-lated grand kids, Loretta andI have 4 other little girls anda grown up who call usGrandma and Grandma.

In 1986 I started up anafter school and week-endrecreation and counselingprogram in Mount Vernon.Called the Rockcastle TeenCenter, it was operated byThe Christian AppalachianProject (CAP) which had arelatively long history ofproviding summer campopportunities and week-endexcursions at no cost to afew thousand teenagers.

The belief at that timewas that kids who had ac-cess to supervised recreationwere more apt to stay out oftrouble than those whodidn’t. So the Teen Centercatered to kids whose fami-lies simply could not affordthe costs associated withextra-curricular activities atschool and to those on theverge of academic failurebecause they couldn’t affordtutors.

The first two kids I metduring the course of reno-vating and readying a build-ing to house the center, weretwin boys, Jack and JohnEdwards, and for a bunch ofreasons, they stuck to melike ticks. They were gettingready to enter their sopho-more years of high school.

First one and then theother and then both of themstarted coming home withme on Saturday nights.Loretta and I had just movedinto an old house that camewith a host of maintenance

problems.We also had

lawnmowers, weed eaters, atiller and a chain saw thatneeded frequent fixing. Tothis day I have no ideawhere they learned the skillbut the Edwards boys knewthe workings of small en-gines better than anyoneI’ve ever met. They wereboth enrolled in vocationalelectrical and carpentryclasses at school and theycould fix anything.

They both loved runninganything that had a motorand fixing it if was brokenor not running as well asthey thought it should.Nintendo had just made thescene and my kids had tohave the very first one to hitthe market. Neither of theEdwards boys had theslightest interest in Zelda butthey might pause to playNintendo golf or baseball ifthere was absolutely nothingelse to do.

We heated with wood atthe time but I never cut astick. Jack and John wouldfight over who got to run thechainsaw. They’d take alawnmower engine apart,put it back together, mowthe lawn and try to convinceyou that they had the mowerrunning better than it wasbefore they dismantled andcleaned every single springand needle jet in its carbu-retor.

After two years of work-ing with teen agers. I movedinto a management position


The Curse of the KennedysLast week the subject of

curses came up in the studyof Giles Corey and the cursehe left on Salem, Massachu-setts, and its line of sheriffs.This week we will take alook at a curse that has fol-lowed the Kennedy familyfor many generations.

We are all familiar withthe assassination of Presi-dent John F. Kennedy, thenthe same fate would followhis brother, Bobby Kennedy.In 1969, another brother,Ted Kennedy was involvedin a serious auto accidentwhere his secretary, Mary JoKopechne was killed. Hewas blamed for not doingmore to save her and thisincident followed him foryears.

Another brother, JosephKennedy, was killed in anairplane crash while pilotingan Air Force plane over En-gland. The plane explodedin midair with no other air-craft involved. Through theyears, other Kennedy fam-ily members have met withdisaster and death, far toomany to mention here.

It makes you wonderwhere and how the cursecame to be, and why it fol-lows a certain family. It issaid that it may have begunin 1842 in County Galwayin Ireland. Thomas “HoneyFitz” Fitzgerald, RoseFitzgerald Kennedy's father,is said to have discovered ahoard of treasure. As itturned out, “Honey Fitz”had dreamed that gold was

hidden, but didn't knowwhere until he described itto an O'Malley who directedhim to Ourid.

He soon settled there,and became a herdsman forlocal landowners. Onenight, he and others cameupon a dying woman in theroad. She was taken in at anear by house and got bet-ter during the night. On a bigblack pot hanging in the fireplace there was an engrav-ing saying, “The other sideof the tree is just as good”,that she interpreted from aforeign language. Soon“Honey Fitz” figured outwhat it meant and begandigging around a hawthorntree and found some goldcoins.

However, they were sup-posed to be very unlucky,and most were afraid totouch them. If any one tookthe gold, misfortune fol-lowed. There were enoughcoins to share with peoplesuch as the O'Malleys. Thecoins, once found, evencursed the entire town, be-ginning with O'Malley'swife, who killed herself. Thevillage was almost de-stroyed by high winds andwhat survived was wipedout by famine.

Later, Fitzgerald came toAmerica, bringing the cursewith him. There is anotherlegend that claims to be theorigin of the Kennedy curse.We will take a look at it nextweek.

The Chevrolet BowtieWhile washing my ‘54

Chevy in preparation for a“Cruise-In” in Mt. Sterling,I noticed the small, bluebowtie of the Chevrolet em-blem on the trunk. It mademe recall my grandfather,Pop, explaining to me as ayoung man how the bowtiehad been a symbol of theChevrolet brand for as longas he could remember. Ac-tually, it was 1913 when thebowtie emblem first ap-peared on a Chevy.

When I learned that thebowtie has been the logo forthe past 100 years, it arousedmy curiosity as to how thathad come to pass. My re-search was not as easy as Ianticipated that it would be.

On November 3, 1911,Swiss race-car driver LouisChevrolet consulted with hisfriend William C. Durant todiscuss founding a MotorCompany in Detroit in orderto compete with the popu-lar Ford Model-T. It was amere two years later thatDurant introduced theChevrolet logo. The originof the design is somewhatvague, with three com-pletely different stories thatpropose to explain how itwas first designed.

Was it inspired by wall-paper in a French hotel?Durant’s version of how thelogo came into existence iswell known. He and his wifewere world travelers. Theywere staying in a Frenchhotel when he noted the pat-tern of the wallpaper designin their room. As the storyis told, Durant tore off asmall piece of the wallpaperso that he could show it tohis friends at the motor com-pany. He said, “This willmake a good nameplate forour new cars.” This is prob-ably the most acceptedtheory of how the Chevroletbowtie first originated.

Was it a dinner-tablesketch? Apparently, anothertale came from Durant’sdaughter, Margery. In 1929,she published a book en-titled, My Father. It was in

that book that she told ofhow Durant sometimesdoodled nameplate designson small pieces of paper atthe dinner table. “I think itwas between the soup andthe fried chicken one nightthat he sketched out the de-sign that is used on theChevrolet car to this day,”she wrote. However, thistheory is not as accepted asthe one of the original wall-paper that was told byDurant himself. I supposethat there could be sometruth to both.

Was it borrowed from anewspaper ad? The thirdversion of the bowtie’s ori-gin was recounted more thana half-century later byDurant’s widow, Catherine.It was 1986 that she recalledbeing on holiday with herhusband in Hot Springs, Vir-ginia in 1912. While read-ing a newspaper in their ho-tel room, Durant spotted adesign published in TheConstitution, an advertise-ment by the Southern Com-pressed Coal Company for“coalettes,” a refined-fuelproduct for fires. The logofor the ad contained the slantin the bowtie form, verysimilar to the shape thatwould soon become theChevrolet icon. The date ofthat paper was said to be justnine days after the incorpo-ration of the Chevrolet Mo-tor Company.

Last week marked thetwelve anniversary of 9/11.Many can still rememberwhere they were the morn-ing of the attacks, I know Ido. I had the privilege of at-tending a ceremony indowntown Lexington tocommemorate those liveslost on that day. Many liveswere lost that day, butfirefighters remember a spe-cific number. That numberis 343. That is the numberof firefighters that answereda call and never made it backhome. These firefightersstarted their morning likeanother other work day, likeany day they were on call.But on September 11, 2001they responded to the WorldTrade Center buildings do-ing their job, doing whatthey have been trained to doand that is to help people.Firefighters remember 343and their sacrifice they madedoing what they loved to do.We will never forget.

I know I missed lastweek’s paper and I apolo-gize for that. The question Ileft of with was concerningthe length of air that a self-contained breathing appara-tus or SCBA holds. The an-swer is, for Brodhead’s de-partment is 30 minutes. Atypical SCBA cylinder willhold 30 minutes of air andthat is what we use atBrodhead. There is otherdepartment s that uses largercylinders. Lexington uses30, 45 and 60 minute cylin-ders, but mainly 30 minute.

The 4 rescue engines andRescue 1 uses 45 minutecylinders and they carry onein their rapid interventionteam or RIT bag. The res-cue companies have largercylinders due to having tosearch a structure or carryout a rescue operation of avictim or a downedfirefighter. A 60-minute cyl-inder is typically used inhaz-mat situations whenfirefighters must wear aclass-A haz-mat suit. Thissuit fully encapsulates thefirefighter and wearing a 60-minute cylinder allows thefirefighter to enter a hazard-ous area, do what task needsto be done and return to de-contaminate them.

We as firefighters wear aSCBA any time there arerespiratory hazards that areimmediately dangerous tolife and health or IDLH at-mosphere. There are 4 com-mon respiratory hazardswith a fire. They are oxygendeficiency, smoke, elevatedtemperatures and toxic at-mospheres.

An oxygen deficient at-mosphere is an atmospherewith less than 19.5 percentof oxygen. Typically there is21 percent of oxygen in theair at all times. When youstart to fall below that youbegan to experience symp-toms from the lack of oxy-gen. At 17 percent yourbreathing increases and youwill have some impairment

For many people, Satur-day, September 14, will bean ordinary day. As usual,it will pass without specialnote. But for others, the daymay be different; for them,it will have special signifi-cance. While it is not a holi-day, it is the 199th anniver-sary of the writing of ourbeloved national anthem.

In 1814, a war, known asthe War of 1812, was rag-ing, and Francis Scott Key,an attorney from Washing-ton, went to the ChesapeakeBay near Fort McHenry tovisit the British fleet to at-tempt to secure the releaseof Dr. William Beanes, a ci-vilian prisoner of war heldby the British. During the

night of September 13,1814, the British attackedFort McHenry, and Keywatched through the nightas “the rocket’s red glareand the bombs bursting inair gave proof” to him “thatour flag was still there.”Then, “By the dawns earlylight” on the morning ofSeptember 14, he saw thatour flag was still wavingover Fort McHenry, and heknew that the fort had with-stood the British siege.

Because of that dreadfulexperience, Key “was somoved” that “he vented” hisfeelings by writing a poemon September 14, 1814 that

UndergroundParking Lot...Dear Editor,

Rockcastle County nowhas an underground parkinglot! That’s right, folks.Thanks to Buzz and theRCIDA we now have$19,000 of your tax moneyburied in an unfinished un-derground parking lot in In-dustrial Park South. Had itnot been for SourceHOV’splant manager speaking upand being honest about notneeding additinal parking,there would have been morepublic money spent on anunneeded parking lot. Sohats off to SourceHOV’splant manager.

Every member of the fis-cal court and RCIDA thatvoted to build that under-ground parking lot shouldhave to chip in and pay backto the county that wasted$19,000 out of their ownpockets then maybe theywould be better stewards ofpublic monies (your tax dol-lars).

The waste of $19,000could have provided a num-ber of benefits to countyresidents such as at least onejob for a year. Blacktop andgravel for the many potholes in the county roads ormowing of the county roadssooner. Our right-of-wayswere not mowed until thelast part of July and August,which is a shame and dan-gerous.

Thanks to the citizenswho used their lawnmowersand tractors to mow parts ofthe county right-of-way.Thanks again, fellow citi-zens.

at CAP’s central office inLancaster. But, if anything,that only served to intensifyour family relationship with

the Edward’s boys. Theybecame our biological sonChristopher’s big brothers.They fell naturally into thehabit of calling me “OldMan” and Loretta, “ Mom”.

And so it follows thattheir kids naturally call usGramma and Grampa andwe feel natural in thoseroles.

Jack married almoststraight out of high schoolso his first two, Chelsea andCody are grown and gone.We stay in touch with themon Facebook. Now in a sec-ond marriage, Jack andNancy have 5 year old Gin-ger who I call Ginger Tea orGinger Bread or GingerSnap and she pretends to beterribly upset about it butshe grins when she scoldsme.

John and Celeste havethree girls who call usgrandparent names and wesure believe we are just that.Eleven year old Johnna,who I call Johnica June isstoic and studious. 8 yearold Alyssa (Sissy Lou tome) has more energy than afoot ball team and she canhave an anvil in 3 pieces inless than a minute. Thebaby, 5 year old, Shyannedoes not yet have a grampanickname because I’m hav-ing trouble coming up withsomething that is quite theopposite of shy.

While we don’t see Jack,Nancy and Ginger Tea,nearly as much as we’d liketo, we do get to spend aweekend afternoon andevening with John’s crewabout once a month and thebond is tight. The grandkids simply keep usgrounded and grinning, andI truly believe that they keepus younger than we’d bewithout them.

of muscle coordination.At 12 percent you begin toexperience dizziness, fa-tigue and headache. At 9percent unconsciousnessoccurs and at 6 percent deathwill occur within minutesfrom respiratory and heartfailure.

The second hazard aSCBA protects us from areelevated temperatures. In-troducing heated air into thelungs can cause a decreasein blood pressure and fail-ure of the circulatory sys-tem. Heated gases can causepulmonary edema, which isan accumulation of fluids inthe lungs and associatedswelling. This can causedeath. Thirdly a SCBA pro-tects us from smoke. Every-one knows the danger ofsmoke, but do you knowwhat smoke consists of. Ina typical structure fire youwill find that smoke consistsof oxygen, nitrogen, carbondioxide, carbon monoxideand an assortment of prod-ucts that have been releasedfrom the materials involvedin the fire. Those can con-sist of hydrogen chloridewhich comes from burningplastic and hydrogen cya-nide which comes fromburning wool, nylon, rubberand paper. And lastly aSCBA protects us from toxicatmospheres that are not as-sociated with a fire such asa chlorine gas leak.

Ever notice that

firefighters don’t havebeards. That is because fa-cial hair can compromisethe seal between thefacepiece and the wearersface. This is just one of thelimitations the wearer haswhen wearing a SCBA.Having facial hair is cer-tainly not a great limitationbut can cause the wear toloss their air supply quicklyif there is not a good sealaround your face. Otherlimitations are the weight ofa SCBA. A SCBA will add25 to 35 pounds of extraweight to carry aroundfighting a structure fire. Car-rying that extra weightaround increases yourphysical exertion thosecausing a 30-minute cylin-der to only last 15 minutesbecause you’re suckingdown the air in the cylinder.You know when afirefighter is breathing fastin a SCBA when the cylin-der is starting to ice over.

Lastly a very importantpart of the SCBA is the per-sonal alert safety system orPASS device. This devicecan come as a detachableoption or they have becomeintegrated into our SCBA’s.The PASS device is de-signed to alert firefightersthat a firefighter is in dis-tress. If a firefighter be-comes lost or disoriented,they can set off the PASSdevice. The device emits aloud pulsating shriek thatcan be heard from far off.Also if the firefighter be-comes motionless for ap-proximately 30 seconds thePASS device will automati-cally sound alerting nearbyfirefighters. This devicesaves firefighters and is acrucial part of firefightersafety.

Next week I am going tostart to talk about fire be-havior and the science offire. The question this weekdeals with the fire triangle.For years now firefightershave been taught the threecomponents needed for afire to occur. Can you namethe three components thatmake up the fire triangle?The answer next week.

“Memories”(Cont. from A2)

Whichever story is true,it was within a few yearsthat the image of the bowtiewould emerge as the iconicChevrolet logo. Many varia-tions in coloring and detailof the Chevy bowtie havecome and gone over the de-cades since its introductionin late 1913. But the essen-tial shape has neverchanged. In 2004, Chevroletbegan to phase in the goldenbowtie that today serves asthe brand identity for all ofits cars and trucks marketedglobally.

As it turns out, the bowtiedesign is one of the most-recognized automotive em-blems in the entire world.

Since 1913, 215 millioncars and trucks have wornthe badge. This year,Chevrolet’s globally recog-nized bowtie is celebratingits 100th anniversary. Today,sixty million Chevrolets areon the roads worldwide. AChevy brand of car, cross-over, or truck is sold every6.39 seconds in one of 140countries. Chevrolet’s ChiefMarketing Officer, TimMahoney recently claimed,“The Chevrolet bowtie isrecognized around the worldand has become synony-mous with American inge-nuity.”

I am glad that Pop and Ihad our brief conversationabout the bowtie all thoseyears ago. Because hepointed out the small designto me, I have been payingattention to its detail and toits changes ever since ourtalk – when I was probablynot more than nine-years-old. Again, it seems likecoming full circle – after all,I have a Chevy of my ownthat is the image of Pop’snow sitting in my driveway.

Yards to ParadiseBy Max Phelps

Creativity In LandscapingMust Successfully

Navigate a Few MineFields

It is a rewarding labor tohelp bring people's dreamsinto reality for them. Some-times it involves helpingthem build the dream. Noteveryone knows what theywant. For others it's con-vincing them you can actu-ally do what it is they areasking to have done. Andperhaps the task more chal-lenging than creating a mas-terpiece of a landscape for aclient is sometimes resistingthe urge to price a job a littletoo cheap to be sure and notlose the work. Today's topicmay not help with designingthe pretty yard, but if itclears some of the mines tosuccesful landscaping thenit will have helped both thecustomer and the land-scaper.

In 1998 yours trulyearned over $30,000 beforetaxes laboring for a land-scaping partnership in Lex-ington, Kentucky. The own-ers paid me once I clockedin, except for subtracting outthirty minutes at lunch time,for all the hours until Iclocked out. Then, just driv-ing to and from the officewere the only hours I didn'tget paid for.

As a landscape and wa-ter garden contractor, I maytake more money to thebank than the $30, 000 peryear, but I would hasten tosay that when all the bills arepaid—then taking what isleft and dividing it up amongthe hours driving from theoffice to the job, the hoursgoing to meet someone andthen the hours to accuratelydesign and calculate costs ofimplementing my design—then searching out and ac-quiring and transporting allthe necessary materials tothe job site, getting all the'ducks lined up right'--thenactually using a shovel,hammer, pitchfork or what-ever including the old backand getting the handsdirty—then when the cus-tomer is satisfied you'vedone your job, get him topay for the lovely workwithout extra trips to collectthe next day and the like—then do the banking, the billpaying, and yes the taxestoo, it takes billing for morethan thirty or fourty dollarsper hour for the time actu-ally sweating on the job inorder to have even mini-mum wage when it's dividedamong the hours that go intosuccessful design andcompletion of a major land-scaping project.

Another way to say thesame thing is that in 1998the efforts of my crew andone other crew madeenough money to not onlypay our own wages, plusbenefits, but we paid for thearchitect and for the sales-man who obtained the jobs,as well as paid pretty wellthe two owners of the com-pany. Each hour I workedhad to earn enough to paymy wage, pay the office helpand pay the owners, andthen actually have a litlle leftfor PROFIT, (for growingthe company is a main rea-son for not just clocking inand out and going home torelax when the day is done).

I think some of my goodcustomers think I should beable to quote their job for awhole lot less than the bigcompany with all the nonproductive people gettingpaid. Let me say, as a do-it-all contractor, I am thoseother people doing the 'un-productive' chores too. Andif I am like one self em-ployed contractor I knowwho charges $15 an hour forhis time on the job and noth-ing for all the other hours,it's no wonder he has to havea real job for fourty hours aweek so he can do what heloves the rest of his daylighthours. As for me, I know Iearn every dollar I charge,and I sleep good at night.(And occasionally I fail toget a job I bid on becausesomeone mistakenlythought I was about to getpaid more per hour thanwhat they make at their job.)

OK, too much about me.And not enough on mines

and traps one can encounteron the way to a lovely lovelylandscape masterpiece.

A homeowner is smart tocarefully go over a land-scape plan and to come tosee and understand it beforesigning a contract. For oncetwo people agree to some-thing, it's not so simple tochange it. And the land-scaper is not going to wantto do extra things, nor re-dothings, without an additionalcharge, additions the cus-tomer may decide theywant. Both the contractorand the homeowner shouldknow what is about to takeplace and have some ideawhat the finished productwill look like.

Another little mine in thesand can be working withthe homeowner who alwaysthinks he has to get you togive a few dollars on yourprice or get you to throw ina couple 'little things' he isnot being charged for. If thelandscaper sees thisbehaviour coming, he issmart to pad his bid a littlehigher to begin with, so hecan give a little to thesefolks and not have to closehis notebook and go homewithout the job because healready quoted it as cheaplyas he was willing to do it for.

Having a good reputa-tion, which is earned byboth doing super work at afair price, as well as being aman of your word and notpromising more than youdeliver, but delivering with-out fail on what you prom-ise. Word of mouth spreadby satisfied customers isworth hundreds if not thou-sands in advertising. Whensomeone says good thingsabout me, I truly appreciateit. (And even if I get the rarenegative comment, if I learnfrom having not impressedthat particular client in somefashion, it is still to be ap-preciated that they sharedwith me the part where theythink I could have done bet-ter.) As a matter of habit, Igenerally include a plant ortwo for a customer that ismore than what we agreedto; it may not be expensive,but it does a lot for the feel-ing of getting a little extra.

It is smart to charge fortime and travel costs to con-sult with a prospect in anybusiness. (The exceptionhere would be where theyhave hired a professional todraw up a blueprint, and myjob is to simply put my priceon doing it for them.) Whensomeone who has an im-properly functioning projectdone by some competitor, itis imperative to charge forone's expertise. For a simplediagnosis of what is notworking might possibly getme a thank you, but whenI've told the homeonwerwhat was not done right,they usually then go call theguy who did it the first timeand let him fix it. If I don'task for money to cover mygas and time, I won't get itcovered. We all know some-body has to pay for thosesorts of trips...but itshouldn't be the one that isgiving the useful advice.

(And once you've seentwo or three messes orgombs created by a compet-ing contractor, any glee orthrill goes away fast uponreflection you spent a halfday of productive time andtwenty-five dollars in gas tolook at the mess, while tell-ing them it will now costmore to tear it out and redoit correctly than what theypaid originally, knowing fullwell they aren't going to ask'where do I sign'?)

Just as risky as theunexploded grenade on abattlefield, so is givingmoney to someone youdon't know without askingfor references (and then ac-tually checking those refer-ences and any other sourceof information both goodand bad on the company orowner).

A slick well-groomedsalesman can talk an eskimointo buying ice cubes some-times. But who is going todo the work? Who is goingto come review the finishedjob and collect the balancedue? Avoid this problem byasking to meet the person or

persons who will be tearingup your yard before yousign the contract. (And don'teven think about giving thefast talker a deposit withouta contract proposal you aregiven time to read and un-derstand.) (How manyvoted for Obamacare with-out reading it...and howmany would have NOTsigned on if they'd really un-derstood what was in thebill?) Be the same way withhiring a contractor, knowwhat you're getting andwhat it's going to cost you.

Sometimes we all faceunexpected snares along theway. Do you suspect a land-scaper who just put in a$50,000 landscape master-piece in Boulder, Coloradois going to have an issuecollecting on a project thatwashed away in the flood?Or one where half the plantsdied from flood ordrought...conditions notconsidered when the dealwas struck.

Sometimes the utilitycompany may mark paintall over the yard, but whenyou get a backhoe and startdigging five feet away andtear up a fiber optic cable,or worse yet a natural gasline that could blow up thewhole block, who has to beresponsible? Problems notforseen can be problems in-deed when they have to bedealt with under pressure.

Once in awhile I bid acommercial job. Maybe amunicipal job. There is al-ways the risk of somebodywho knows personally thechairman, the judge, themayor, and so forth gettingthe job even though theirproposal was not better norcheaper. And maybe one ormore even were shown mybid before they turned theirsin. Not all bids are sealedbids, nor are all done on alevel playing field. Onlywhen the rules are under-stood and they are appliedto everyone alike, only thenis it good to spend valuabletime quoting work. It's un-productive to play with astacked deck. The honestofficial, committee, chair-man, etc., will be doing ev-eryone a favor (expect spe-cial interests). Such personsin positions of responsibil-ity spend wisely the peoplesmoney they are entrustedwith. (How rare this is inpolitics!)

So, navigating the ob-stacles can be half the chorewhen it comes to creating awork of art with plants and

stones and mulch and thelike for an expectant home-owner. Finding that specialclient who appreciates theextra attention of the land-scape artist who knows theirstuff and enjoys working—let's just say, I've beenblessed to meet quite a fewand have had the pleasure ofplacing some of my artworkwhere they can appreciate itregularly from both outsideor inside their castle.

recoveries and one blockedpunt.

“To have a freshman putup those numbers in his firststart at middle linebacker isamazing,” Parkey said. “Hewas reading plays and fly-ing to the football all night.”

Parkey said he was alsoimpressed with everyone ondefense as they played greattogether as one unit.

“The defensive lineplayed great getting pen-

etration and altering the pathof their fullback on their op-tion plays which disruptedtheir whole offensivescheme,” Parkey said. “Thesecondary played great tooas they covered the field andknocked a couple of passesloose that would have beenfirst downs.”

Parkey said he was im-pressed overall with the of-fense as well as they oper-ated with a more balancedapproach due to the excel-lent blocking the offensiveline provided for the run-ning backs.

“When our runninggame is good we can usemore play action passing al-lowing McPhetridge to con-nect with some high per-centage throws and hit thebig plays over the top of thedefense,” Parkey said. “Ourwide receivers also did agreat job of finding holes inthe zone and knowing whento look for the ball.”

The Rockets will playthe Pulaski County Ma-roons at home this Fridaynight at 7:30 p.m.

Parkey said the Maroons

will be one of the best teamsthey will play against thisyear. He said the Rocketswill have to play together asa team and not as individu-als if they want to win.

“They have a talentedmobile quarterback, goodreceivers and strong backsthat make up their spreadoffense,” Parkey said.“Their defense is good aswell. The difference in thegame will likely be howwell our line matches upwith them and how well wecan play together as oneteam.”

Mother Nature greetedevery stream fishing trip youplanned for the upcomingweekend by rudely parkinga heavy thunderstorm in theheadwaters of the intended

stream two days before thetrip. A torrent of glutinous,rust colored water followedthe monsoon, looking likethe stream flowed from thebottom of a hog pen. Insteadof fun fishing, it becametime to mow the yard in-stead.

The recent dry spellmeans streams are finallylow and clear. The small-mouth bass that live in them

Stream smallmouth bass love early fallare hungry.

"It is the ideal situationright now on our Kentuckystreams," said David Baker,stream biologist for theKentucky Department ofFish and Wildlife Re-sources. "Streams are attheir prime now. On lakes,the water is hot and the fishlethargic. Streamsmallmouths are feedinglike crazy."

The low and clear waterputs smallmouth bass at anadvantage over their prey,which they exploit withabandon. "There are morestable flows now in ourstreams," said Jeff Ross, as-sistant director of fisheriesfor Kentucky Fish andWildlife. "The baitfish andsmallmouth bass are incloser proximity. They arefeeding up now with theshorter days to prepare forwinter."

During a recent trip to acentral Kentucky stream,Baker caught over 20 small-mouth bass longer than 12inches. It takes about fiveyears for a stream small-mouth bass to reach a footin length.

"This time of year,smallmouths are schooledup," Baker said. "If youcatch one, spend some timein that spot. The low waterconcentrates thesmallmouths and you cancatch several from the samepool."

Topwater lures draw in-

credibly savage strikes fromstream smallmouths in Sep-tember. The banana or ci-gar-shaped 3- to 4-inchlong topwater lures workedwith the "walk the dog" re-trieve are deadly right now.Fish these lures across flow-ing shoals, beside undercutbanks and in the tailout wa-ter above and below riffles.

The recession has meantthat high numbers of alltypes of households havebeen struggling to purchaseadequate food, but house-holds with children sufferedextraordinarily high rates,according to a new nationalreport released today. In sur-veys running for five yearsthrough 2012, nearly one infour households with chil-dren in the U.S. said theycouldn’t consistently affordfood, even as the HouseMajority Leadership is pro-posing to cut the Supple-mental Nutrition AssistanceProgram (SNAP, formerlyfood stamps) by a stagger-ing $40 billion.

Food Hardship 2008-2012: Geography andHousehold Structure, re-leased by the Food Researchand Action Center (FRAC),found that in surveys from2008-2012, more than 26percent of households withchildren in Kentucky saidthere were times in the prioryear when they did not haveenough money to buy foodthat they needed for them-selves or their family. Morethan 19 percent of house-holds without children inKentucky said they facedthe same struggle.

“What these data tell usis that there’s a new reality

for too many Kentuckians.Hunger and poverty ratesspiked at the beginning ofthe recession and havestayed high ever since,” saidTamara Sandberg, Execu-tive Director of the Ken-tucky Association of FoodBanks. “And the food hard-ship data reveal the extraor-dinary frequency of thestruggle to afford enoughfood for households withchildren. September isHunger Action Month andthese data should spur all ofus to take action to solvehunger in Kentucky.”

This report is consistentwith data released by thefederal government thismonth which show howmany Americans continueto struggle. Food insecuritydata, released by the Eco-nomic Research Service ofthe U.S. Department of Ag-riculture (USDA), show that1 in 6 Kentuckians in statestruggled with hunger dur-ing the 2010 to 2012 period.(Those data are not brokendown by households withand without children.) Anddata released yesterday bythe U.S. Census Bureaushowed that the nationalpoverty rate has remained atelevated rates since the re-cession began; Kentucky’spoverty rate exceeds the na-

tional rate.The FRAC analysis ex-

amines food hardship rates– the inability to affordenough food – for house-holds with and without chil-dren. Data are available forthe nation, every state andregion, and 100 of thecountry’s largest Metropoli-tan Statistical Areas(MSAs), including Louis-ville-Jefferson County.Findings for childhood foodhardship for surveys from2008-2012 in Kentucky in-clude:

•26.5 percent of house-holds with children in Ken-tucky said they were unableto afford enough food. Thefood hardship rate forhouseholds without childrenwas 19.5 percent.

•Kentucky has the sixthhighest food hardship ratefor households without chil-dren and the 16th highestrate for households withchildren.

•For the Louisville-Jefferson County MSA, thefood hardship rate forhouseholds with childrenwas 28 percent which is thetenth highest food hardshiprate in the nation for house-holds with children.

“I used chopsticks everymeal I was over there be-cause I thought it was therespectful thing to do,”Mattingly said. “It wasn’t somuch that I had to adapt toanything, but their cultureand the way they show re-spect to somebody.”

Mattinglyused an ex-ample of the ways theyshow respect by stating thatthey saw him as “the expert”because he was there pre-senting. He said it was hardfor them to ask questionsbecause they believe itlooks disrespectful and as ifthey weren’t paying atten-tion.

But overall he madeit clear that they were veryintelligent and eager tolearn.

came as a result of the De-cember 2011 incident thatresulted in the shootingdeath of Bullock. Accordingto the Rockcastle CountySheriff’s Department, Bul-lock was at a home on LoneOak Drive on December 1,2011 before he was mur-dered. He was later founddead in the driver’s seat ofhis vehicle, after it hadrolled approximately 300yards down a hill off LoneOak Road near the resi-dence where he was lastseen.

Deputy Sheriff MattBryant, who was in chargeof the vehicle accident in-vestigation, later deter-mined that Bullock’s deathwas a homicide after dis-covering a gunshot woundin his side.

In December of 2011,Bryant arrested and chargedMt. Vernon residents GaryLee Kirby, 19, JoshuaDuane Cameron, 25 andBobby Peters, 36 with themurder of Bullock. Afterfurther investigation, Bryantarrested Mary HannahHunsucker, 24 of Mt.Vernon and charged herwith murder as well.Robinson was later arrestedon an warrant after she wasindicted by a grand jury.

Upon further investiga-tion, Bryant determined thatall five people allegedlymurdered Bullock during anattempted robbery of hisprescription medication.Bryant also found a methlab at Peters’ home duringthe investigation.

Kirby, Cameron, Petersand Hunsucker all pledguilty to murdering Bul-lock, during their respectivetrials in 2012. Hunsuckerwas sentenced to 20 yearsin prison while Kirby,Cameron and Peters weresentenced to 25 years inprison, due to separatecharges for manufacturingmethamphetamine. How-ever, Robinson pled notguilty to the charges of mur-der, first degree robbery andmanufacturing metham-phetamine during her courtappearances in 2012.

Robinson currently re-mains lodged in theRockcastle County Deten-tion Center without bond.Officials said she will re-main lodged at RCDC untilthe Kentucky Departmentof Corrections can evaluateher and select a prisonwhere she will serve hersentence.

By David W. Owens,SBC Class of 1980

Recently I had an oppor-tunity to travel to London,Kentucky and drove onto theold Sue Bennett Collegecampus, now the BennettCenter, and a flood ofmemories overwhelmed me.I attended this historic in-stitution during the schoolterms of 1978-79 & 1979-80.

I find it ironic now howmuch the school meant tome because I originally didnot wish to begin my collegeeducation there. Followinghigh School at RockcastleCounty I wanted to attendEastern Kentucky Univer-sity where I had received apartial scholarship to playfootball and baseball for theColonels.

My parents had otherplans for me and in hind-sight I am thankful they did.I think if I had not attendedSue Bennett first I would nothave graduated college. At-tending Sue Bennett Collegewas very much like attend-ing high school. All theteachers knew you by nameand the students had a won-derful fellowship.

Sue Bennett College ori-gins began as a private col-lege in 1897 as the SueBennett Memorial School.

Remembering Sue Bennett CollegeIt was operated by theUnited Methodist Churchand provided grade, highschool, and teacher trainingfor the mountain youth ofSoutheastern Kentucky.

The school's name sakewas Susan Ann Bennett(1843-1891), a nineteenthcentury social activist, fromRichmond, Kentucky. Shewas one of eight children ofSamuel Bennett and Eliza-beth Chenault Bennett. TheBennetts and Chenaultfamilies had close politicalties to the famed abolition-ist Cassius M. Clay's fam-ily of Madison County andwere known for social re-form.

This large and close-knitfamily greatly valued edu-cation and service to thechurch and community.Miss Sue devoted her life tothese causes as seen by herservice as Superintendent ofSunday School at the Meth-odist Church in Richmondand Secretary of the Ken-tucky Conference ofWomen's Missionary Soci-ety.

She became very inter-ested in the education of themountain children of South-eastern Kentucky in 1889after meeting with and ob-serving first-hand the suc-cess of Reverend J.J.

Dickey's school in Jackson,Kentucky. Upon giving heraddress to the KentuckyConference she stated, "Letus illuminate some dark cor-ner in the mountains with aschool."

Miss Sue died in 1891and did not live to see herdream manifest. Heryounger sister Isabel (Belle)Bennett took up Miss Sue'scause and financed a tripthrough nine mountaincounties; Rockcastle, Lau-rel, Jackson, Clay, Knox,Bell, Leslie, Whitley, andHarlan Counties in search ofa suitable campus location.

Miss Belle's original rec-ommendation for a campussite was in Manchester, theMethodist Conferenceagreed, on the condition thatlocal residents raise $5,000,to match the Conference's$5,000 investment. How-ever Clay County busi-nesses were not successfulin raising the funds so analternate campus site wasneeded.

In 1893, ReverendDickey advised BelleBennett to locate the schoolat London in Laurel County,then one of the most culti-vated and progressive com-munities in SoutheasternKentucky. Later Belle metwith London officials andwas impressed by the pro-posed campus site as well asthe modern homes,churches, and the valueplaced on education.

After reporting back tothe Kentucky Conference,the Methodist Womenagreed to invest $20,000 inendowment if Londonwould match the amount. Intwo short years Londonraised the necessary moneyand 20.5 acres were pur-chased from the Callowayfamily on a hill overlookingLondon for the sum of$2,000.

On the morning of June23, 1896, through the col-laborative efforts of BelleBennett, the MethodistWomen, and the townshipof London, Sue BennettMemorial School was dedi-cated. Miss Belle placed abox of Miss Sue'smomentos in the corner-stone of the administrationbuilding. Susan AnnBennett's dream of a schoolwas now a reality.

September 17th begins the national celebration of Con-stitution Week. The weeklong commemoration ofAmerica’s most important document is one of our country’sleast known official observances. Our Constitution standsas a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout his-tory to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensurethose inalienable rights to every American.

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was startedmany years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolu-tion (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress toset aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for theobservance of Constitution Week. The resolution was lateradopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law#915 on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D.Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) empha-size citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defendingthe Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform thepeople that the Constitution is the basis for America’s greatheritage and the foundation for our way of life; and (3)encourage the study of the historical events which led tothe framing of the Constitution in September 1787.

The United States of America functions as a Republicunder the Constitution, which is the oldest document stillin active use that outlines the self-government of a people.This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right asindividuals to be free and live their lives under their owngovernance was the impetus of the American Revolution.Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom forpeople around the world.

“Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to readand study this great document which is the safeguard ofour American liberties,” states DAR President General,Lynn Forney Young. “We encourage all citizens across thecountry to take time this week to reflect on our heritage offreedom and come together to Celebrate America!”

DAR has served America for 123 years as its foremostcheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a build-ing as a memorial to the Constitution. John Russell Pope,architect of the Jefferson Memorial, was commissioned todesign the performing arts center, known as DAR Consti-tution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only struc-ture erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United Statesof America.

Known as the largest women’s patriotic organization inthe world, DAR has over 175,000 members with approxi-mately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 13 foreign coun-tries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through com-memorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships and ac-tivities for children, and programs for new immigrants. Formore information about DAR and its programs visitwww.dar.org or call (202) 628-1776.

education continued to ad-just to meet student’s needsand became a four-year in-stitution. The institution hadpreviously sported a men'sand women's basketballprogram and added football,baseball, and softball to itsathletic department.

After 101 years of ser-vice from 1897 to 1998, andhaving educated more than11,000 students, the schoolsuffered a series of aca-demic and financial set-backs, under the leadershipof Dr. Paul G. Bunnell andDr. James Cheek, and wasforced to close it's doors.

As I drove that dayamong the maples, oaks,

and dogwoods on the beau-tiful old Sue Bennett cam-pus I thought about those11, 000 students who foundthe keys to wisdom, spiritu-ality, and social happinessthere. I felt a deep sadnessfor future generations thatwill never experience thatopportunity.

I now more than everunderstand and cherish theschool's Alma Mater motto:In the hills of old Kentucky,Reared against the skies.

Proudly stands our AlmaMater

As the years go by.Forward ever be our watch-

word;Conquer and prevail!Hail to thee, our Alma

Mater,Hail, Sue Bennett, Hail!In the halls we formed our

friendships.Dear old college home;And to thee our hearts will

The WayI See it

(Cont. to A4)

Life in the 50’s was awfullygood to me

I was having a conversa-tion with a friend of minewho is considerablyyounger than I am, and heasked, “Were you all thatmuch better off living in the1950s?” My answer was aresounding yes, and I beganto provide a few specificexamples that I thoughtwould illustrate my point.Some of you may agree;some may not. There aremany perspectives fromwhich to view such a ques-tion. But I believe that thereare a few ways in which mygeneration had an advantagein those days of long ago.

My first thought washow much we made in theearly 50’s. The U.S. federalminimum wage was only $1per hour. While in highschool, I worked severaljobs, taking home a whop-ping $8 per day – and Ithought I was in “high cot-ton.” I was able to drive myown automobile and to pro-vide the fuel necessary tokeep the streets of Mt.Vernon hot. I even hadenough left to customize myown ride. (It is hard to be-lieve but I am again able todrive one of those hot cars –my ‘54 Chevy!)

Speaking of driving, I re-minded my friend that thecost of a gallon of gasolinewhen I was in high schoolwas only 29 cents. Twentynine cents per gallon! Today,that same gallon of fuelcosts $4.39. In those days,if anyone had suggested tomy dad, who owned theStandard Oil station behindthe Rockcastle CountyCourthouse, that fuel wouldbe $4.10 higher, he wouldhave had a heart attack. Forthat meager 29 cents, he wasable to provide air in yourtires, water in your radiator,clean all of your auto’s win-dows and check your oil. Itwas unheard of to forget toclean the windows or to askif you wanted the oilchecked. That was simplystandard operating proce-dure. Today, you couldnever expect someone tocheck your oil or clean thewindows, even at $4.39 agallon. As a matter of fact,

you really don’t much ex-pect there to be a person onhand at all!

When I was only eight-years’ of age, I was allowedto walk about a mile to pickup a few grocery supplies. Iremember being instructedto go get a loaf of bread. Mymother gave me a quarter,and I could also get a RCCola with the change. Shedid not worry about me be-ing out of her sight. In thosedays, we rightly felt prettysafe. It was extremely rareto even hear a rumor abouta child being accosted by anadult who might mean himharm.

As far as most of the gro-ceries were concerned, wegrew the majority of ourown vegetables, and ouryard was filled with chick-ens. And we had a hog lot.

In school, we weretaught patriotism and Chris-tian principles. We hadprayer, pledged allegiance tothe flag, and our teachersread to us from the Bible.When I began teaching inthe early 60’s, teachersworked for approximately$5,000 per year. My first jobin education paid $5,800. Iwas able to purchase both anew home and a newPontiac on that salary.

In my mother’s home, wenever had air conditioning.We just put screens in thewindows and left our win-dows and doors open to letthe cool night air comethrough. When we went tobed, we simply latched thescreen door to keep animalsout of the house. We kneweveryone in the neighbor-hood, and we trusted themcompletely.

When we were playing ina neighbor’s yard, we weredisciplined by our friend’sparents. We played baseball,football, basketball, hideand seek, mumble peg, andread comic books. It wasjust good old clean fun. Wedid not fear for our lives. Inthose days, there was noInternet, and we certainlynever heard of video games.We played in the yard, andkids from all over the neigh-borhood gathered at one of

Earlier this week, Istarted reading our local his-torian David Owens’ newbook “Before Consolida-tion: The Golden Age ofRockcastle County Basket-ball.” The book has beenreleased and will be distrib-uted to those whopreordered on Saturday atthe library. There will alsobe copies for sale on thesame day.

The book provides thehistory of RockcastleCounty basketball beforethe consolidation intoRockcastle County HighSchool which gave us theRockcastle County Rockets.Before the consolidation,each town in RockcastleCounty had their own highschool and their own sportsteams, which primarily con-sisted of basketball. Thosesports teams included theMt. Vernon Red Devils,Brodhead Tigers and theLivingston Blue Devils.

Owens has spent sixyears gathering pictures,news articles and written ex-cerpts from people wholived during that era. Withthese materials, Owens por-trays how the love by thecoaches, players and fans forthese three individual teamswas just as strong as the loveUK basketball fans have fortheir beloved Wildcats.

During this time period,basketball was king inRockcastle County and thethree high schools in thecounty obviously becamebitter rivals. Certain picturesin the book also show howthe gymnasiums of the threeteams would be packed dur-ing their home games andyou can visually see how theatmosphere was comparableto a miniature Rupp Arena.

Personally, I am thankfulthat David Owens editedthis book because any othereditor without a RockcastleCounty connection wouldhave likely changed the sen-tence structure and re-worded the sentences fromthe excerpts people had sub-mitted. Changing how theseexcerpts were wordedwould have totally changed

the personality of the bookby removing the personaltouches of each author.

This book has brought ona wide range of emotions forme in so many differentways. Reading my grandpaDell Ponder’s excerpt aboutLivingston basketballbrought a smile to my face.When I started reading whathe had written I immediatelywent back to my childhoodmemories when all of thegrandkids would be sittingwith him on his front porchas he told us stories about hischildhood, such as his firstbasketball having a knot onone side and when he woulddribble it he never knewwhich way it would bounce.

While I was reading mygrandpa’s excerpt, it waslike he was in the room withme and I could audibly hearhim saying those exact samewords from stories I haveheard numerous time thatnever grew old.

The same was true formy late grandmother Shirley(Cummins) Caudill whowas a Mt. Vernon cheer-leader from 1951-1954. Shemade a scrapbook of thenewspaper issues that hadher picture in it and she alsosaved the news articles fromwhen the Red Devils wentto the Sweet Sixteen tourna-ment in 1953. She would laythe scrapbook on the kitchentable as she flipped throughthe pages and tell us herstory of every picture andarticle as if those events hap-pened yesterday.

This book was organizedand created for people toreminisce on days gone byof an exciting time period inRockcastle County’s his-tory. For those who had theluxury of living in this timeperiod, it will bring backthose memories and forthose of us who have heardour parents and grandpar-ents stories from this timeperiod it will bring backmemories as well.

Either way, this book isguaranteed to bring backmemories for everyRockcastle Countian in oneway or another.

On July 8, I planted arow of bodacious sweet cornjust shy of being 100 feetlong. Brothers Keeter andAndy had visited over theprevious weekend andKeeter had convinced methat I could plant mountain-eer half runners and corn atthe same time without hav-ing the bean vines smotherthe corn.

I usually let my corn getnearly knee high before Iplant beans in it but I figuredwhat the heck and what’s tolose because the flying rats,also known as starlings, hadalready destroyed over halfof my early corn crop.

So at every foot or so ofrow, I dropped two beanseeds and I believe it’s safeto say that every one of themcame up. In a few places thevines are so thick that itlooks like they may havecome up twice. We’ve har-vested all the corn and neversaw a blackbird in it be-cause, I believe, the beanvines had it camouflaged.We wound up with as muchcorn from the one row as wedid off three of the earlycrop.

By the time the corn wasready, I’d already pickedone five gallon bucket fullof beans and over the courseof three weeks I’d pickedthree more. As with corn,what beans we don’t eat and

squirrel away in the freezerwe give to in-laws, out-laws,friends and neighbors.

After the corn waspicked the bean vines got soheavy that the corn stalksbroke over everywhere anear had been pulled so thatnow the corn is practicallyinvisible and it looks morelike a thick hedge row acrossthe garden. Early last week,Loretta went out and pickeda bushel basket heaped fulland I got another bucketful.Lo has canned five quarts,frozen some and we’vegiven both beans and cornto about everybody weknow in three counties.

Well, actually, we tooka mess down to Rufus andPhyllis Harrison in LaurelCounty last Saturday, somake that four counties.

Loretta had picked a lotof pods that were turningyellow thinking that I mightsave them for seed becauseshe thinks they’re not prettyenough to can but I don’tsave anything besides heir-loom seeds that you can’tfind in the hardware or farmsupply stores. The littlehandful of seed that Iplanted in July cost fiftycents and I had seed leftover. It would take twohours of time and trouble toshell them out, dry them,

The Curse of theKennedys, Part II

Last week, the subject ofa curse that followed theKennedys for a few genera-tions, even until today, wasnoted. Some say it was dueto some cursed gold coinsRose Fitzgerald-Kennedy'sfather found. Some say oth-erwise.

Others say that the cursecomes from the other side ofthe family; the Kennedys,not the Fitzgeralds. TheKennedys were making ille-gal money from bootleg-ging. JFK's father, JoeKennedy, ran an illegalbootleg operation for years.Some believe that the cursecame from JFK's sister,Rosemary, that was given alobotomy to help JFK's ca-reer. She died in a mentalinstitution in 2005 afterspending most of her lifethere.

Other than the fourcursed Kennedy brothers,the curse touched those

closely connected to them.In 1956, Jackie Kennedy,JFK's wife, gave birth to astillborn daughter (to benamed “Arabella”).

In 1963, she gave birth toa son, Patrick, who lived twodays.

JFK's sister, Kathleeen,and a male companion werekilled in a plane crash in1948. In 1964, JFK's brotherwas in a plane crash but sur-vived. In 1973, Joe KennedyII was in a horrific autowreck. The same year sawEdward Jr. losing a leg tocancer.

David Anthony Kennedydied from a drug overdosein 1984. William Kennedy-Smith was charged withrape, but acquitted. MichaelKennedy was killed in a ski-ing accident in 1997. JFK Jr.was killed in a plane crashalong with all aboard thesmall plane he was pilotingin 1999.

Last week I left off withthis question, what threecomponents make up thefire triangle. They are oxy-gen, fuel and heat. If youremove any one of thesecomponents a fire cannotstart and if burning, it willbe extinguished.

You may thinkfirefighting is simple. Youput the wet stuff on the redstuff and poof the fire is out.To a certain extent this istrue; however there is a cer-tain science involved. Firecan take many forms but allinvolve a heat-producingchemical reaction betweensome type of fuel and oxy-gen. This chemical reactionhas been added to the tri-angle thus creating the firetetrahedron.

The fire tetrahedron iscomprised of the same com-ponents of the triangle, oxy-gen, fuel and heat. But whenyou add a self-sustainedchemical reaction the firetetrahedron is formed. Thisexplains flaming combus-tion more accurately. Overthe next few weeks I amgoing to go into detail oneach component of the firetetrahedron. I want you tounderstand how a fire startsthrough this tetrahedron, butfor now I want to try to ex-plain what fire is.

A fire is an exothermicheat reaction called combus-tion. Now, I need to explaintwo things in the previoussentence. First, an exother-mic reaction is a chemicalreaction between two ormore materials that some-how changes the materialand produces heat, flamesand toxic smoke.

Secondly, combustion isa self-sustaining process ofrapid oxidation of fuel thatproduces heat and light. Fireis a form of combustion.

With combustion youhave two types, flaming andnonflaming. Flaming com-bustion is when both liquidand solid fuels are heated to

a point where they give ofvapors and mix with oxygenand can burn thus producingflames. Nonflaming com-bustion is when oxidationoccurs on the surface of thefuel causing charring. Acouple of examples ofnonflaming combustion isburning charcoal or smol-dering fabric.

I am going to stop herebecause I have thrown a lotat you this week. Believe itor not, I have just scratchedthe surface. Moving forwardI am going to talk about thefire tetrahedron and how fireforms. Next week we willstart with the heat compo-nent. And with that, yourquestion is this. What do theinitials BTU stand for?

I wanted to mention thisweek that starting on Mon-day September 30th fivemembers, myself included,of the Brodhead VolunteerFire Department will takepart in a grueling eight daytraining course consisting often hour days on StructuralCollapse in Lexington.These members are givingup there time with no pay totake part in this training tobetter serve our communityin a time of emergency.

“Strange”(Cont. from A2)


our houses and spent mostof the day running and play-ing. We stayed in goodphysical shape because ofthe exercise provided by ourphysical activity.

In the 50’s, Elvis Presleyarrived on the scene andchanged music for all time.Most of the girls loved him;the boys wanted to be likehim; and our parents gener-ally considered him to be aterrible influence on theyounger generation. Littledid they know that he wouldbecome known as The Kingof Rock and Roll or that hispopularity would continuefor the next sixty years. Welearned that he was a verygenerous, helpful, and car-ing role model. He evenserved in the Army andearned an honorable dis-charge.

Several other things alsomade living in the 50’s apositive experience. Youcould go to the Vernon The-ater, enjoy a Coke and pop-corn for only 25 cents. Wenever ran out of countryham. Our teachers caredabout us, and our parentswere thankful for thoseteachers and the efforts thatthey made to educate theirchildren. We went to schoolevery day and never worriedabout someone having agun.

As far as I am concernedthose are many of the fea-tures of living during the50’s that made life better. Afew conventions from thattime might improve our cur-rent home life situations.Things such as having sit-down dinners with our fami-lies. And as I have men-tioned before, it would be awonderful idea to bring fam-ily board games back intoour homes.

It is my hope that theyounger generation will atleast give some consider-ation to slowing down at bit.The speed of life today hasbecome much too fast, andfamilies don’t get to spendmuch close time together –to the detriment of our soci-ety. It is worth it in moreways than words can say. I

know, because that’s how itwas in the 50’s.

bag tem up and find a placein the freezer to stash them.On the other hand, I am be-yond thankful for the oppor-tunity to save BuffordCaudill and Black Satin Fallbeans and BerthaMcQueery’s goose beanseed.

So anyway, I decided tosave a bucketful as shuckeybeans which I grew up call-ing leather britches.

Shuckey beans are driedand later eaten with the podsintact. It is a lot of troublebecause it usually takes 5 or6 sunny days to get themthoroughly dried, but onceyou do, they’ll keep foryears in the freezer or evenin a cloth sack.

When I was growing up,Shuckey beans were on themenu at least once a weekfrom Thanksgiving untilthe first of June. We driedseveral bushels every year.Mom had very large sewingneedles that were only usedfor the purpose of stringingup leather britches.

The needles werethreaded with stout nylontwine that had been used tosew and seal the tops of hun-dred pound live stock feedsacks. The string would un-ravel to six or eight feetlengths with one smoothmotion when you got itstarted.

We tied a big green beanto the end of the twin, thenpoked the needle throughgreen bean pods and slidthem down until the stringwas full, whereupon we tiedanother pod to that end andthey were ready to dry. Dur-ing the day, they were hungon clothes lines and at nightthey were brought into thehouse and hung behind thecook stove to dry.

Once dry, Mom putthem in a white feed sack,doused them with black pep-per to keep bugs out andstored them in the pantry.We also dried severalcushaws every year by firstcutting them into roundsabout an inch wide, peelingoff the rind and hanging therounds on a mop handle todry behind the stove.

There was way more ina cushaw than one familycould eat at a single meal.We ate the necks while theywere still fresh and dried themain body to eat when allthe green ones were gone.My brothers and I much pre-ferred dried cushaw thanfresh.

I’m gonna buy a cushawin a week or two to dry andhave with my leatherbritches when the snow’s a’blowing and the cold wind’sa howling come the middleof next January.

Rockets dropped to 1-4 onthe season following a 54-14 loss to the PulaskiCounty Maroons at homelast Friday night.

Unfortunately, TheRockets weren’t able to stopthe bleeding on defense asthe Maroons amassed a to-tal of 444 yards on offensewith 256 yards on theground and 188 yardsthrough the air.

down strike to senior re-ceiver Tyler Harper. The twopoint conversion was goodcutting the Maroons lead to13-8.

The Maroons then put upan unanswered 20 pointsuntil late in the second quar-ter when junior runningback Isaiah Adams scoredon a 17 yard touchdown run.The two point conversionfailed making the score 33-14 at the end of the first half.

After halftime, the Rock-ets would never see the endzone again as the Maroonsput the game away withthree unanswered touch-downs for the final score of54-14.

The Rockets were led onoffense by McPhetridgewho was 15 out of 26 pass-ing attempts for 149 yardsand one touchdown withfour interceptions. Fresh-man Chayse McClure alsosaw some time at the quar-terback position and was 1for 1 passing for 9 yards.

Cholesterol is a waxy,fat-like substance foundin your body and manyfoods. Your body needscholesterol to function


normally and makes allthat you need. Too muchcholesterol can build upin your arteries. After awhile, these deposits nar-row your arteries, puttingyou at risk for heart dis-ease and stroke.

High cholesterol usu-ally doesn't have anysymptoms. As a result,many people do not knowthat their cholesterol lev-els are too high. How-ever, doctors can do asimple blood test to checkyour cholesterol. Highcholesterol can be con-trolled through lifestylechanges or if it is notenough, through medica-tions.

It's important to checkyour cholesterol levels.High cholesterol is a ma-jor risk factor for heartdisease, the leading causeof death in the UnitedStates. Source: CDC
