UK coaches make stop in Hazard

Cris RitchieEditor

HAZARD — A Scuddy man was sentenced to serve up to 20 years in prison for the 2011 rape of a 14-year-old girl.

Stephon Slone, 31, ap-peared in Perry Circuit Court on Thursday for sen-tencing on charges of first-degree rape and persistent felony offender. Slone was convicted in April follow-ing a week-long jury trial in which he faced allegations of raping his then girl-friend’s teenage daughter.

Slone adamantly denied the allegations, and his defense attorney, David Johnson, noted in court on Thursday that he had filed a motion for a new trial and does expect to appeal the conviction. Johnson has previously stated the case against his client, which largely hinged on the vic-tim’s testimony during trial, should have been in-sufficient for a conviction. He added on Thursday that

the evidence presented in Slone’s defense, which in-cluded testimony counter to the victim’s along with a medical report, actually proved his innocence in the case.

“We hope that someday the truth will come out,” Johnson said.

Circuit Judge William Engle, however, followed the jury’s recommenda-tion, sentencing Slone to a total of 20 years in prison. Upon his release Slone will be required to register as a sex offender. He will also be required to submit to having his DNA added to a database of offenders.

Coal funds being used for Rupp renovationAmelia Hollidaystaff reporter

It’s not news that the coal industry in Eastern Kentucky is in decline and

has been for the last year and a half.

According to the Ken-tucky Quarterly Coal Re-port released last month, for the first quarter of 2013

Eastern Kentucky’s pro-duction rate has decreased by 1.5 percent since the last quarter, while Western Kentucky’s has increased by 2.3 percent. Perry Coun-ty has seen a 4 percent de-crease since the last quar-ter. Total rates in the state have decreased by 26 per-cent in the last 18 months.

These statistics coupled with the nearly 5,000 lay-offs that have hit the re-gion in the same period of time have left the region not only grasping at straws for income, but unable to bolster their industry and infrastructure by adding to the much needed and utilized coal severance tax.

With production and job numbers down, taxes are inevitably down as well.

On the heels of this eco-nomic crisis for many in the coal fields, Gov. Steve Brashear’s administration has taken $2.5 million from the dwindling coal severance fund to help pay for the planning and

design of Rupp Arena’s renovation — a venue over 100 miles away from the coal fields from which it is benefitting.

“This money should stay in the coal producing counties,” Judge-Executive Denny Ray Noble said, who has served Perry

Residents in Big Creek cleaning up after floodCris RitchieEditor

Residents in the Big Creek com-munity began a frustrating clean-up after a flash flood hit the area late Monday night, flooding the local elementary school, homes, and vehicles, while other property in the area also sustained signifi-cant damage.

Pleas Spicer, a resident on Big Creek, said it was approximately 9:30 p.m. when the storm hit, and it didn’t take long for the water to flood his yard.

“Like four minutes,” Spicer said. “It came up in four minutes.”

Sizemore pleads to 10 years forfatal shootingCris RitchieEditor

HAZARD — A Perry County man originally charged with murder could serve a decade in prison after pleading to a lesser charge.

Timothy Ryan Sizemore appeared in Perry Circuit Court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to an amended charge of first-degree manslaughter stem-ming from an incident that left 31-year-old Samuel Louive dead.

Sizemore, 29, was al-leged to have shot Louive several times at a residence in Combs on Nov. 5, 2011. Kentucky State Police De-tective Kevin Hurt testi-fied during Sizemore’s pre-liminary hearing in 2011 that officers at the scene

collected 17 shell casings outside of the residence on Baker Street, and a medical examiner had located nine bullets inside Louive’s body.

Sizemore, along with what Hurt said was the .40 caliber handgun used in the incident, was located at a separate home in Combs on the night of the shoot-ing. Sizemore was indicted

Coal

County for over a decade.The Lexington Herald-

Leader reported earlier this month that the legislature had originally planned to use bonds for the renova-tion project, however, this decision was changed and the allocation of these coal severance funds was added to the state’s budget at the end of the legislative session during a closed door meet-ing, which many did not

know about.State representative Fitz

Steele, D-District 84, said he had only heard about this recently, and was outraged that the money had come out of a fund meant for coal-producing counties.

“Coal severance money goes to the coal-producing counties. I’m tired of everybody getting our money,” he said.

Perry County’s fiscal court is set to approve a budget this month which cuts coal severance by $1.5

million compared to the pre-vious year, and will only be taking in $1.2 million in coal severance funds — less than half of what has been allocat-ed for the Rupp Arena reno-vation. Noble said this is something the county faces every year, though, and does not expect it to get better in the near future.

“We always look at the worst and hope for the best,” Noble said. “The coal busi-ness has always been like that, it’s up and down. It’ll get real bad like this and then it’ll shoot back up again.”

House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, released a statement earlier this month when news of the $2.5 million allocation came out. Stumbo said the funds were coming from the multi-county coal severance fund, which is meant to help all counties, not just coal-producing ones.

According to the Herald-Leader, the allocation, along with funds for 30 other state

projects, was taken off the top of the coal severance fund before coal-producing counties were able to collect their shares.

Stumbo later released another statement ensuring citizens he would fight to have those funds returned to the state.

“It was agreed on by the legislators that the coal sev-erance money would stay in the coal producing counties, and now they’re taking it out,” Noble said.

Noble said he did not think it was fair to use funds generated in coal-producing counties for projects not benefitting those living in coal-producing counties, who struggle with basic ne-cessities like clean running water and sewage lines

“You know what I think, I think you’ll be all right and I’ll be all right, but what we’ve got to look at is our grandchildren. They’re going to have a hard time,” he added.

in January 2012 on charges of murder and two counts of first-degree wanton en-dangerment.

Special prosecutor Park-er Boggs, the common-wealth’s attorney in Harlan County, noted the agree-ment announced on Thurs-day will have Sizemore pleading to the amended charge of first-degree man-slaughter for a total of 10

years to serve. The two additional counts of wan-ton endangerment would be dismissed at the time of sentencing, if Special Judge John David Caudill accepts the plea deal.

Boggs said while he rec-ommended a sentence of 10 years to serve on Size-more’s guilty plea, he would not have accepted any type of probation in the case.

Sizemore is scheduled for sentencing on July 11.

dence she owns before col-liding with a bridge. Water stood several feet deep in the yard before receding, destroying two small build-ings and her mother’s car still parked in the drive-way.

“We’ve lost everything in the yard,” Brewer said, adding later that she didn’t have insurance on the home. “Mom’s car is gone. It destroyed it.”

Brewer said a fed-eral mine inspector had stopped, and she had heard from neighbors that FEMA officials were in the area, but hadn’t spoken with them as of the early after-noon on Tuesday.

The two vehicles lodged against Brewer’s bridge also significantly damaged the structure, and she said it wouldn’t be safe to drive across it.

Alvonda Ronnebaum, a neighbor, said she heard the vehicles crash against the bridge and feared someone may have been inside. Along with her son and his landlord, she said they were able to deter-mine no one was inside either vehicle.

Farther downstream, staff at Big Creek Elemen-tary will also have a major clean-up job ahead of them as several inches of flood waters entered the school. Administrators and central office staff with the Perry County School District as-sessed the damage there Tuesday morning. Prin-cipal Jeff Castle said the main thing to remember is that no one was injured or inside the school at the time of the flood, but he ex-pects an intensive cleaning effort to get the building ready again for students.

Every room in the school,

from the kitchen to the classrooms, was inundated with water from the nearby creek. Flooring in the caf-eteria was bowed upward, and Castle said that will be just one thing of many that will need to be repaired or cleaned moving forward. Assessments were still in the early stages Tuesday morning, and he could not give a time frame for when the clean-up might be com-plete.

Jimmy Coyle has been an employee at the school for the past eight years, and said he couldn’t remember flood waters reaching the school while he has worked there, though another em-ployee said the school was similarly flooded 10 years ago.

Coyle also declined to estimate how long it might take to clean the school.

“It’s according to what we’ll have to do,” he said.

“Every room’s got it.”Magistrate Ronald

Combs surveyed the area late Monday night, and along with other members of the fiscal court was set to see the area again Tues-day morning.

“Just guessing and look-ing from the main road, there’s at least 25 trailers and homes that got flood-ed,” Combs said.

Judge-Executive Denny Ray Noble said flood wa-ter reached his yard in the Chavies community, while flooding also affected the Brownsfork area. State Rep. Fitz Steele surveyed Big Creek and Browsfork on Tuesday, calling the damage “unreal.”

WYMT-TV in Hazard reported that some resi-dents were evacuated from the area before the flood waters crested. No injuries have been reported.

CorrectionThe story in last week’s

edition covering the coun-ty’s new fiscal year budget included the funds budget-ed for county road super-

visors, which did not take into account that the figure of $80,100 was allotted for two employees, and also in-cludes expected overtime throughout the year. Ad-ditionally, the fiscal court was not scheduled to ap-prove the budget during its regular meeting on Tues-day, but at a special called meeting later this month.

City commissioners approve budgetAmelia HollidayStaff Reporter

The Hazard City Commission held their monthly meeting Monday eve-ning at Hazard City Hall, with its agenda full of resolutions and ordi-nances — including one in reference to the change in state law concerning liquor sales on election days.

In May, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 13, allowing alcohol sales during elections in places where alcohol would otherwise be sold. The commission has until June 25 to amend the city’s ordinance regard-ing the sale of alcohol. City Attorney Paul Collins said this was the reason the commission was voting on the first reading of this ordinance now.

Collins said local governments had the choice to pass their own restric-tions on alcohol sales on election days.

“Heretofore, no alcohol sales could take place on election days. That has been changed statewide. If you do nothing, then alcohol beverages will be sold in this jurisdiction on election days,” he said. “You can pass a law that there are only certain times that bev-erages can be sold, but what you do when you set limitations is you bring up questions as to the rationality be-hind the restrictions you make.”

Collins said the commissioners needed to be sure to have a reason-able argument as to why they would

go against state law if they decide to place a prohibition on alcohol on elec-tion days in their jurisdiction if there was ever legal action taken against them for doing so.

Collins also noted that names and prices of licenses and permits for alco-hol sales had changed, with some prices increasing and others decreasing.

The commission will have the sec-ond reading of the ordinance June 20 at 9 a.m. at Hazard City Hall.

In other business, the commission-ers approved an ordinance to adopt the city’s budget for the coming fiscal year, which will go into effect next month.

The total budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year is estimated at $23,458,630, nearly $2 million less than last year’s. Assistant City Manager Paul Townes said this was because last year the city had an Abandoned Mine Lands grant awarded them for around $3 million, all but $200,000 of which has been spent on projects in the city.

The general fund is estimated to be just over $5.6 million. The city’s water system improvement fund is set at $5.2 million. The gas fund is estimated to be $2.2 million, while $3.6 million has been allocated for the water fund.

Other funds and allocations for the coming year include $590,000 for the pension fund, $1.3 million for the sewer fund, $495,000 for the Pavilion, and $190,000 for fire equipment.

The commission also approved a resolution to apply for rural develop-ment grant funds through the United States Department of Agriculture for snow removal vehicles for the fire department. City Manager Carlos Combs said the fire department can usually only get grants for emergency vehicles for fire and rescue, but he hopes the city will be able to receive these grants from the USDA to make future winters more manageable in the city.

Hazard Fire Chief Sam Stacy pre-sented the commissioners with the department’s report for the month of May. The Hazard Fire Department responded to 51 calls for the month, 25 fires and 26 rescue calls. Activities for the month included fire hydrant testing, replacing lights in the Perry County Park and filling the pool, and conducting public safety classes with several area daycares. The depart-ment had 364 hours of training for firefighters for the month, bringing the total for the year to 1,872.

Hazard Deputy Chief Joe Engle presented the Hazard Police De-partment’s (HPD) monthly report for May. The HPD had a total of 26 cases, 15 felonies and 11 misdemean-ors. There was $2,381.61 in property stolen and $1,057.61 was recovered. Traffic accidents for the month were totaled at 54, with 10 of those result-ing in injury and only one was Driving on a DUI suspended license related.

Jonathan Jett

Board approves four-year contract for superintendentCris RitchieEditor

HAZARD — The Perry County Board of Educa-tion this month approved a contract for newly-hired Superintendent Jonathan Jett which contains some notable differences from that of his predecessor, longtime Superintendent John Paul Amis.

The board approved Jett’s hire during a special-called meeting on May 24, and voted 4-0 on his con-tract during a subsequent meeting on June 5. The contract will be effective as of July 1 for a period of four years.

Jett will have an annual salary of $120,000, though he is not assured an annual raise, or any pay increases, for the life of the contract. He will receive an increase in salary in the event that all other certified employ-ees, which include teach-ers and principals, are giv-en an increase as well. Any raise in this instance will be at the same percentage

as other employees.The school board, how-

ever, does reserve the right to approve a separate raise based on the superinten-dent’s evaluation, which must be conducted annu-ally, though a positive eval-uation does not guarantee an increase.

“If he ever gets a raise, he’ll have to go directly through the board,” noted board Chairman John C. Combs. “There won’t be no roll overs or anything like that. We’re not going to go through that pro-cess.”

The final contract for Jett’s predecessor, John Paul Amis, who was first hired in the 1990s and re-tired last autumn, differed as it required an initial 10 percent raise upon the con-tract’s approval in 2006, along with an annual 2.5 percent cost-of-living in-crease. Amis’s contract also called for an annual one-year extension, or roll over.

Jett will be required to work 240 days each year, and to take all vacation

time during non-contract days. His leave days ac-crue at the same rate as all certified employees and the board will pay for or reimburse any “reasonable expenses” incurred during his tenure.

Jett will also be provided with a vehicle for official use only. The make and model of the vehicle will be of the board’s choosing. Former Superintendent Amis’s contract also pro-vided a vehicle – a Ford Crown Victoria at a mini-mum – along with a $700 per month vehicle allow-ance. Jett’s contract does not include any allowance beyond the reimbursement of expenses.

Superintendent Jett will be provided with the same retirement benefits as all certified employees under the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System, but unlike Amis, the board did not authorize up to a 5 per-cent match for a tax-shel-tered annuity, nor will be the board be responsible for reimbursement of all

retirement payments.Jett’s contract makes

no mention of medical insurance, though Chair-man Combs said he will be provided with the same insurance all certi-fied employees receive. Amis’s contract called for major medical and a life insurance policy, of which money accumulated for the latter became Amis’s upon his retirement. The board also provided for Amis an “enhanced family health and dental insurance plant at ex-pense of the Board,” which Chairman Combs noted was not included in Jett’s con-tract, at Jett’s request.

“He took all that out,” Combs said. “He said he’d take the same plan as every-one else, that he wasn’t any better than the employees.”

Jett, like Amis, will be provided with computer equipment and related ser-vices that will allow him to perform certain duties while away from the office, though Combs noted that Jett turned down a district cell phone. The board also

agreed to pay any dues for membership in certain professional and civic or-ganizations, including the American Association of School Administrators, Kentucky Association of School Superintendents, Kentucky Education Asso-ciation, and one civic club of Jett’s choice.

Combs said he viewed the contract as a fair one for the district, as Jett’s starting salary will be on average approximately

$15,000 less than super-intendents in surrounding districts of the same size. He added, however, that Jett has every opportunity to increase his salary by working to improve the district.

“I think after four years if he does a good job he should get a raise, if he don’t he should probably be looking for the road,” Combs said. “If you don’t move the district, then you need to move on.”

Charges filed against alleged Allais shooterAmelia HollidayStaff Reporter

HAZARD — A Perry County man arrested after al-legedly shooting a firearm in his residence earlier this month has been charged with multiple felony counts of wanton endangerment.

Thirty-five-year-old Jimmy Wayne Sizemore, Jr., of Hazard, was taken into custody on June 5 and taken to the Hazard ARH psychiatric center after report-edly firing a shotgun through the roof of his residence at 39 Walker Branch Rd. in the Allais community the day before. His wife and five children were also inside the residence at the time.

Sizemore fled after firing the shot, and was presumed to still have been carrying the shot-gun. Hazard city police officers searched the area, but could

not find Sizemore that night. The incident caused Hazard Community and Technical Col-lege to place its technical cam-pus, which is across the street from the residence where the incident occurred, on lockdown for a few hours. Approximately 30 students were escorted from the building just before 10 p.m. after search efforts had been called off for the night.

Sizemore was found the next morning in Allais after patrols were sent out to the area to continue the search. Police took Sizemore to the psychiatric center for evaluation that day.

“I was told that he did re-ceive a buckshot to the face, but that’s another reason we’re getting him medically cleared at the hospital, to make sure he’s not injured,” Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen said after

Sizemore had been found.An arrest warrant was served

to Sizemore by the Hazard Police Department this week, who is still in the psychiatric center. According to the warrant, Sizemore was in-toxicated at the time of the incident when he “fired a single shot shotgun in his home” and “also head butted his wife however, it did not leave any

type of marks or bruising.”Sizemore is being charged

with six counts first-degree wanton endangerment, a Class D felony that could carry up to five years imprisonment, and one count fourth-degree assault domestic violence.

Sizemore is set to be ar-raigned June 17.

Editorial

If one were to ask Tony Lewis what the top concern for his community in Perry County is, most likely he would say “water.” This is be-cause in Fort Branch, where Lewis and around 200 other people live, municipal water service is not yet available, and the county is finding it difficult to fund such a needed project thanks to dwindling coal severance funds and fed-eral and state budget cuts.

Unfortunately, this story of needs not being met in the area due to a lack of funding isn’t unique here in Eastern Kentucky’s poverty-stricken coal counties.

Another all-too-familiar story in the region is being played out this year — to the tune of $2.5 million in coal severance taxes — money that is not, however, being spent to improve the economy and in-dustry of Eastern Kentucky’s coalfields.

At the end of Kentucky’s 2012 legislative session, dur-ing a closed-door session, a decision was made to allot $2.5 million from the coal sev-erance tax fund to help plan a renovation of Rupp Arena, ac-cording to a report published in the Lexington Herald-Lead-er this week.

The coal severance fund was established in 1972 to give coal mining communi-ties a way to improve their infrastructures, waste man-agement, and water service, among other things, not fund projects outside the coalfields where basic necessities aren’t so much of a concern.

Here in Perry County, which in 2012 was the third highest producer of coal in the state, the fiscal court is set to approve a budget later this month that cuts coal sever-ance by $1.5 million from the previous fiscal year. At pres-ent, the county expects to take in about $1.2 million in coal taxes. That cut represents pos-sible losses in improvements to waterlines, roads, and mon-ey for local programs.

Many Fort Branch resi-dents rely on complex and expensive filtration systems to render the groundwater us-able for bathing and washing. But even then, the water likely isn’t fit for cooking or drink-ing. These people have been waiting close to a decade for clean water that would cost a fraction of the Rupp Arena project, which only started of-ficial planning in the last two years.

Fayette County, on the other hand, didn’t produce a block of coal, though lead-ers can expect $2.5 million in state grants originating from the same fund which benefits Perry and other coal counties each year.

Lewis and his neighbors will apparently just have to keep waiting for a good, clean drink of water. But what will that matter since they’ll have a newly renovated Rupp Arena to look forward to?

We think the folks on Fort Branch, and many more like them still waiting for water service in the county, would likely disagree with lawmak-

ers who apparently think a pretty basketball arena is of more consequence than their constituents’ quality of life.

Some legislators have de-fended the decision to allot the money for the project, in-cluding House Speaker Greg Stumbo.

“Because of the shortfalls, there was no other pot of mon-ey we could find,” Stumbo, of Floyd County, told the Herald-Leader last week through a prepared statement. “Though Rupp is not in the coalfields, many believe it plays an im-portant role in the state be-cause of the tradition of the University of Kentucky bas-ketball program, and there is strong alumni support in our region as well.”

Stumbo later attempted to clarify the state’s use of coal severance for Rupp last week, saying he’ll push for the repay-ment of those funds once the bonds for Rupp Arena are is-sued.

But it is true that many peo-ple here love UK basketball, and some who still have jobs will go take in a few games next season. Perhaps Speaker Stumbo and our other legisla-tors can explain to people in their home region why they can’t get waterlines extended to their communities. Per-haps they can explain why an arena outside of the coalfields, where no coal is being pro-duced, should get millions in coal taxes that are supposed to go back to the coal counties.

Perhaps that’s how it is sup-posed to be, that the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many. Our priorities are obviously askew when we value an entertainment venue over necessities like water, but in the end we can’t say we’re that surprised. After all, the state lops off over 50 percent of coal taxes for the General Fund and other allocations outside of the coalfields. What’s another $2.5 million?

Let’s ask the people of Fort Branch.

Apple tax dodging highlights need for reformFrank Clemente

Talk about taking your business to “the Cloud.” In an ingenious effort to avoid billions of dollars in taxes, Apple, Inc., has been levitating sub-sidiaries between American and Irish soil, claiming that from a tax-law perspective, they exist in neither country and so are subject to neither country’s taxing authority. And, sad-ly, the scheme has worked: no taxes have been paid to the U.S., a rela-tively paltry sum was paid to Ireland.

Though this was Apple’s most audacious tax-dodging scheme, it wasn’t the only one.

Congressional investigators re-cently found that Apple had avoided paying virtually any taxes on $74 bil-lion in offshore profits over the past four years. That’s a big loss of rev-enue needed to hire teachers, build roads or pay down debt.

How does Apple manage to skip out on its tax responsibilities on such a massive scale? It shuffles profits generated by American ideas, American workers and American consumers through shell companies in tax havens such as Ireland, where it’s subject to few or no levies. And it’s not alone among corporate gi-ants. According to the Congressional joint tax committee, ending this kind of tax avoidance by big corporations would raise almost $600 billion over the next decade.

But Apple deserves special atten-tion. Admired for its technological prowess and often in contention for the nation’s most valuable company, it’s a leader as well in stashing prof-its—over $100 billion today—over-seas and out of reach of U.S. taxes.

Some might be tempted to praise

such aggressive tax strategies. Ex-cept that needy kids are being kicked off Head Start, grandmothers are getting fewer Meals on Wheels, and disabled students are being denied special education—all because of ham-handed across-the-board federal budget cuts known as the “seques-ter.” By cleaning up the whole over-seas corporate tax mess we could restore 60 percent of the $1 trillion in sequester cuts scheduled for the next decade.

But Apple and its corporate brethren—backed by their allies in Congress—want to do the oppo-site. Rather than close corporate tax loopholes, they want to reward corporations with money stashed overseas (Bloomberg estimates a staggering $1.9 trillion) with a temporary tax amnesty, called a “re-patriation holiday.” That one-time pass would then be followed by a permanent tax amnesty, known as a “territorial tax system.”

Corporate executives argue that drastically lowering the U.S. taxes charged on “repatriated” cash would encourage companies to make in-vestments and create jobs here. The trouble is we’ve tested that theory already and it failed miserably. When Congress declared a corporate tax holiday of drastically reduced rates on foreign cash in 2005, money came home all right, but instead of job-cre-ating investment, it was mostly used to pad the pockets of wealthy execu-tives and shareholders, according to the Congressional Research Service. Worse, in the years that followed, that first amnesty has actually accel-erated the flight of cash overseas as corporations quite reasonably await the next one.

A territorial tax system would end the waiting game by completely eliminating U.S. taxes on overseas profits made by American corpora-tions. This would give a green light to Apple and others to use tax dodg-es to shift capital to overseas tax ha-vens that assess little or no corporate income tax, draining our treasury, lowering wages and eliminating jobs at home. It also disadvantages purely domestic companies – often small businesses – that play by the rules and pay their fair share.

We need corporate tax reform, but not the type—like repatriation and territoriality—that encourages, rather than reduces, corporate tax dodging. And we don’t need reform that fails to generate any new reve-nue from Corporate America (which so far has contributed nothing to deficit reduction), and instead uses any increased collections from clos-ing loopholes to reduce tax rates. A recent study by the Economic Policy Institute found that there was no cor-relation between lower corporate tax rates and economic growth—if any-thing, the economy did better when corporate rates were higher.

There’s real corporate tax reform legislation in Congress right now that would end offshore tax loop-holes and raise $600 billion over 10 years – money to restore battered public services, rev up our economy and pay down debt. This is true cor-porate tax reform would finally end the accounting magic show and force Apple’s floating subsidiaries back down to earth.

Clemente is executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness.

Coal taxes for Rupp represent skewed priorities

Hazard girls’ basketball program faces budget concernsAmelia HollidayStaff Reporter

HAZARD — The girls’ basket-ball team at Hazard High School has had a tough ending to their year, losing their head coach, ending the season with a 15-14 record after a loss in the open-ing round in the district tourna-ment, and now facing a budget that is very much in the red.

At the Hazard Independent School Board meeting last week, Harold Brashear, Haz-ard’s new head girls’ basketball coach, presented a loan request for the program in the amount of $5,600.

Brashear, who was hired as head coach on May 14, must have the account paid by the end of the month. In the re-quest, Brashear notes he has

already held a car wash and re-ceived donations to cover sum-mer basketball, and has planned fundraisers such as a golf tour-nament and pancake breakfast in July to raise additional funds; he also plans to pay the loan back by the end of the upcom-ing basketball season in month-ly payments of $600.

“I’ve already had some parent meetings and had some discus-sions on some ways we’re going to save some money this year such as we’re not going to buy the girls shoes this year. They’re going to buy their own shoes be-cause most of them would rather do that,” Brashear said.

He said he has already se-cured future donations for any girls who cannot afford their own shoes.

Johnson said this may be a

problem in the district.“If you’re not buying shoes for

girls’ basketball you cannot buy shoes for boys’ basketball; that is a Title 9 rule. That is a very strict thing,” she said.

Brashear, however, said he would stick to his decision to not buy shoes for the team this com-ing year due to lack of funds.

“I don’t think we should buy shoes. I coached on the boys’ side last year, we bought 21 pairs of shoes, by January, 13 kids were wearing their own shoes anyway,” he said. “We’re just throwing that money away in essence.”

Brashear also said he spoke to a podiatrist in Breathitt County recently who said people’s feet are so different that it is un-healthy for everyone to wear the same kind of shoe if they’re not

made for their foot type.“So, I’ve got 15 medical ex-

cuses to not buy shoes because I can’t buy the right shoes,” he added.

The board approved the loan to the girls’ basketball team.

Before Brashear left the meet-ing he brought up another point of concern to the board.

“One of our summer fundrais-ers is having a basketball camp, and I would just like to ask the board why the people who don’t coach basketball anymore, I just want to know why they can have camps that’s taking away from my camp and Coach Holland’s camp when … they don’t coach basketball,” he said.

Johnson said the only camps that had been approved for the summer by the board to use the district’s facilities at Memorial

Gym in Hazard had been those done through the school programs.

“It never came through my of-fice,” Johnson said of requests for non-school related camps to use district facilities.

Brashear said it wasn’t fair to the school’s programs for other organizations to hold camps us-ing school facilities without per-mission from the board.

“The school’s not benefiting in any way for them to have a camp. It just takes money away from our programs and interest away from our programs. I actually had to put my camp off for two weeks because of another camp that was there,” Brashear said.

The board has added the issue to next month’s board meeting, at which they will decide on a policy to allow only school re-lated camps to use the facilities.

New Kentucky laws go into effect next weekFRANKFORT — New laws approved

during the Kentucky General Assembly’s 2013 regular session go into effect on June 25.

That means laws against human trafficking will soon be strengthened. More DNA testing will be allowed as evidence in post-conviction felony cases. And school districts can start deciding whether they want to raise their compulsory attendance age to 18, though the 2015-16 school year would be the first year any changes could ac-tually impact students.

The state constitution specifies that new laws take effect 90 days after the adjournment of the legislature, except for general appropriation measures and those containing emergency or delayed effective date provisions.

This year’s regular session adjourned on March 26, making June 25 the day that most laws will take effect.

The laws taking effect that day in-clude measures the following topics:

Child protection. House Bill 290 will establish by statute an independent re-view panel to investigate cases of child deaths and near-fatal injuries. The panel will be given access to complete records of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, as well as information

from law enforcement and other agen-cies involved in the cases.

Crime. Senate Bill 15, named the Bryan Durman Act in honor of a Lex-ington police officer who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in 2010, will en-sure that a person convicted of crimi-nal homicide in the killing of a police or firefighter on duty doesn’t become eligible for probation or parole until 85 percent of a sentence is served.

DNA testing. HB 41 will allow some felony offenders in prison or under state supervision to request testing and analysis of their DNA as case evidence.

Hemp. SB 50 creates an administra-tive framework for the growing of hemp in Kentucky if the crop is legalized by the federal government.

Human trafficking. HB 3 will strength-en human trafficking laws while protect-ing victims from prosecution for crimes they were forced to commit. The legisla-tion will offer assistance to agencies re-sponsible for helping human trafficking victims by creating a “human trafficking victims fund” supported by service fees paid by convicted human traffickers, pro-ceeds from seized and forfeited assets of traffickers, and any grants, contributions, or other funds that may become available.

Proof of insurance. HB 164 will allow

people to use electronic insurance cards on their smart phones or other electronic devices as proof of motor vehicle insur-ance. Drivers will still be required to keep paper insurance cards in their vehicles.

Religious freedom. HB 279 specifies that government shall not burden a per-son’s freedom of religion. The legisla-tion states that an action motivated by a sincerely held religious belief can not be infringed upon without a compelling gov-ernmental interest. (HB 279 was vetoed by the governor; the veto was overridden by the House and Senate.)

Scholarships. SB 64 will ensure that students earning Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarships aren’t penalized in the amount of scholarship money they receive if they graduate from high school in three years rather than four.

School dropouts. SB 97 will allow school districts to increase the compul-sory attendance age to 18 beginning in the 2015-16 school year. Districts that do so must have programs and resources in place for students at-risk of not graduat-ing. The increased compulsory attendance age will become mandatory statewide four years after 55 percent of Kentucky school districts adopt it.

Student health. HB 172 will encourage schools to possess at least two epineph-

rine auto-injectors in case one is needed for a student having a life-threatening al-lergic or anaphylactic reaction.

Suicide prevention. SB 72 will require attendance at suicide prevention training programs at least once every six years for social workers, marriage and family thera-pists, professional counselors, fee-based pastoral counselors, alcohol and drug counselors, psychologists, and occupa-tional therapists.

Teacher evaluations. HB 180 will re-quire the Kentucky Board of Education to establish a statewide evaluation system for all certified personnel. The Depart-ment of Education, in consultation with teacher and principal steering commit-tees, will develop the system prior to the 2014-2015 school year.

Tuition waivers. SB 95 will extend the five-year tuition waiver eligibility period for adopted children who serve in the military.

Victim protection. HB 222 will estab-lish a crime victim protection program in the Secretary of State’s office to allow domestic violence victims to have personal information, such as addresses, redacted from public voter registration roles. The legislation will also allow victims in the program to vote by mail-in absentee ballot.

LKLP cuts programs as sequester rears its ugly headAmelia HollidayStaff Reporter

HAZARD — The dirtiest four-letter word an American could utter just a few months ago was actually a nine-letter word that merely meant cut-ting government spending. However, since the end of March, many seem to have forgotten about the impend-ing doom felt after the fed-eral sequester cuts were an-nounced.

This month, the LKLP Community Action Coun-cil, a non-profit organiza-tion serving Leslie, Knott, Letcher, and Perry counties that seeks to better the com-munity and the poor through community action, was re-minded just how dirty that nine-letter word could be af-ter being forced to cut fund-ing to multiple programs in the area.

Ricky Baker, executive director of the council, said the board was forced to make some difficult decisions at its last board meeting regarding programs aimed at helping those most in need in the area.

“Anytime there’s a cut, you

know, it’s going to be tough on the agency as far as trying to maintain the staff that you have, and you do sometimes have to cut back on the cli-ents you serve because you can’t take those kinds of cuts without something hurt-ing,” Baker said.

The Head Start program, a federal program that pro-vides education, health, and nutrition services to low-income families, which LKLP oversees, will have its federal funding cut by over $200,000 this coming fiscal year.

“We actually have letters we’re preparing to send out to participating parents with what effects it’s going to have on them,” Baker said.

LKLP also provides pub-lic transportation to those who qualify financially in the area and contracts trans-portation services out to other regions in the state in-cluding Bowling Green and Richmond.

Perry County Judge-Ex-ecutive Denny Ray Noble, a member of the LKLP board, said the board was facing possible termination of those services provided out-

side of the region because of losses of large amounts of money to that part of the transportation program.

“We don’t need to be do-ing that. If we’re losing mon-ey we don’t need to be doing that,” Noble said

The board voted ear-lier this month to terminate those contracts outside of the region if there was no way to get back that lost money. Last week, Baker said state legislators called to let the board know that funds had been found to as-sist the contracted transpor-tation program.

“We were going to have to terminate those if the state did not provide additional funding, but they actually decided to provide more funding,” Baker said.

Noble said there is a rea-son the state would not let LKLP terminate those trans-portation contracts.

“They can’t get anyone else to do it,” he said. “The good part about that, they’ve got that call center, and the call center’s here in Hazard and it creates jobs. If we cancel all those contracts we’re going to lose those jobs and jobs is

what we need right now.”Another program being

hit hard by budget cuts is the home care program. The Kentucky River Area Devel-opment District (KRADD) contracts this service out to LKLP, meaning LKLP is given funds by KRADD to perform the services for the program, which mainly in-clude housekeeping, grocery shopping, and any other things participants, who are 60 years old or older, need to have done to remain in unassisted living. However, at last month’s board meet-ing, LKLP was forced to ter-minate that contract due to a contract disagreement.

“They (LKLP) sent us a proposal for a renewal to do the services with the dollar amount that they wanted per unit. That dollar amount was unacceptable, it was too high; we could not negotiate that, so they pulled their offer,” Peggy Roll, human services director for KRADD, said.

Baker said LKLP had lost around $30,000 this year be-cause of the home care pro-

gram, so was forced to ask for more in their new bid for next year.

Roll said with no other offers on the table, and LKLP’s contract ending on June 30, the agency had no choice but to apply for a waiver for the program.

“We really had no way of doing it any other way be-cause we only got the one response. With the waiver we can go ahead and bring those services in house,” she said.

Although it is unclear ex-actly how much the waiver will be for, Roll said there

was virtually no job loss as those aids who were work-ing with LKLP with the home care program sim-ply applied to KRADD for their same positions.

“Nobody’s going to lose services, in many cases they won’t even notice a change,” Roll added. “We want to ensure that people continue to receive care.”

Roll said the waiver can be renewed every year, although with budget cuts running rampant it is hard to estimate exactly how much money the program will be able to be af-forded by the state.

Hazard BOE takes tour of renovated school, discusses lunch costsAmelia HollidayStaff Reporter

HAZARD — Sitting at a three-foot-high table sur-rounded by colorful post-ers touting messages such as “Reading Takes You Places” is not the usual setting for the Hazard In-dependent School Board meetings, though this was exactly how the meeting was conducted in Roy G. Eversole Elementary’s soon-to-be old library last week.

Board members met at the elementary school, which is set to be com-pletely renovated in the coming weeks, Thursday evening to see firsthand how the renovations have improved the nearly 50-year-old building.

Joseph Clark, an archi-tect with the firm Clotfel-ter-Samokar, presented the board with a brief update on construction and pay application requests for the elementary school and Hazard Middle School to McKinght and Associates, which the board approved.

“They hope to be fin-ished up with construction around here (Roy G.) by the 1st of July, and Walk-ertown (Hazard Middle School) should be fin-ished up by the end of the month,” Clark said. “So, by the next board meeting we all kind of hope and feel that the last pay applica-tion will be done then.”

Clark said the only thing standing in the way of con-struction completion is

the weather since the only work left to do, besides any touchups before school starts, is the outside of the school. Construction crews are laying concrete and putting up columns for the front entrance this week.

Superintendent Sandra Johnson said the improve-ments to the building may not sound like a lot to those who are not familiar with the school, but new windows, heating and cool-ing systems, and classroom doors which lock from the inside will make a big dif-ference to those who will be using the facility in the coming school year.

“These (air conditioning units) were installed when I was teaching, so it’s defi-nitely time for an upgrade,” Johnson said during a tour of the school after the regu-lar board meeting.

Eddie Whitaker, prin-cipal of Roy G. Eversole Elementary, led the tour, pointing out repairs that will make major improve-ments to the quality of life for students and faculty in the coming school year.

“These windows are dou-ble-paned and really keep out the noise and weather outside,” Whitaker said as he led the tour down Roy G.’s window-filled hallway. “You’ll definitely be able to tell a difference in the win-ter here.”

Whitaker had also pre-sented the board, during the board meeting, with an update on the elementary school’s Comprehensive

School Improvement Plan Implementation and Im-pact (CSIP I&I) checklist. The CSIP I&I checklist is a means for the state to determine how schools and school districts plan to ensure that all students are college and career ready.

Whitaker said the school had adopted a plan involv-ing trying out different strategies and activities with how subjects are taught in the classroom, and the teachers and stu-dents have been taking well to the changes in teaching styles.

In other business, the board approved a 10 cent increase on school lunches for the coming year. John-son said the increase was planned last summer to be implemented this year to make up for funds owed to the National School Lunch Program.

“The National School Lunch Program requires that locally you collect a certain percentage of the lunch. We were not up to what we were required to collect,” Johnson said.

Johnson also said the outstanding lunch bills for the district are still mostly unpaid, with only around 30 percent of the bills hav-ing been paid. The board discussed solutions to this issue that has been ongo-ing for years.

“The state recommends using small claims court. We can only file a maxi-mum of 25 small claims cases annually. So, I mean, how do you pick 25,” John-

Board member Dennis Smith looked at the new computer lab at Roy G. during the tour.

After the meeting was adjourned, board members and guests at the meeting were taken on a tour of the newly renovated school, set to be complete by July 1. Roy. G. Eversole Principal Eddie Whitaker led the tour, showcasing new classroom doors, windows, and heating and cooling units.

son said. “Most of them end up carrying these charges until it’s time to graduate. You either pay it or you get that blank diplo-ma. That’s when they pay it and that’s how it’s been for

several years.”Johnson said she has

looked at other school dis-tricts’ policies regarding this issue.

“Some schools are giv-ing them a cheese sand-

wich and a milk,” she said. “I’m not going to do that. I cannot recommend do-ing that. It’s not the child’s fault. I will pay for their lunch before I do that.”

Big Creek man charged with making methCris RitchieEditor

HAZARD — The num-ber of meth making cases in Perry County continue to rise after deputies with the sheriff’s office arrested a Big Creek man early last week.

Deputies arrived at 1309 Big Creek Road on the afternoon of June 11 af-ter receiving a complaint that 34-year-old Robert Shockey was manufactur-ing methamphetamine inside the residence. Ac-cording to the arrest cita-tion filed by Deputy Jerry Burns, Shockey had active warrants at the time, and

gave authorities consent to search the home upon their arrival.

That’s when Burns re-ported locating a backpack filled with several items used to make meth, in-cluding “lye, coffee filters, lithium batters and a bottle with a tube believed to have meth product in it.”

Burns noted that Shock-ey’s aunt was also living in the residence at the time, and was “in need of oxygen.”

Shockey was arrested and charged with manufac-turing meth and unlawful possession of meth precur-sors. He was additionally charged with first-degree wanton endangerment and

lodged in the Kentucky Riv-er Regional Jail in Hazard.

Shockey’s arrest is the latest in a string of charges filed against Perry County residents in meth-related cases. Three men were indicted by the grand jury

just last week for allegedly making meth in a small shack located on property in the Bonnyman commu-nity. Others have been ar-rested in the Lothair, Town Mountain, and Slemp com-munities.

Oil, gas looking up in state, association director saysCris RitchieEditor

The oil and natural gas in-dustry in Kentucky could see a rebound in the next year or two, according to industry officials, as companies seem to be showing a renewed in-terest in the state’s natural resources.

A new report released by the Kentucky Oil and Gas As-sociation shows the economic impact of the oil and gas in-dustry in Kentucky, which in 2011 contributed more than $34 million in severance tax-es. Perry County, where more than 1 million barrels of oil and just less than 100 billion cubic feet of natural gas were produced from 2001 to 2011, was responsible for approxi-mately $23 million in taxes.

Natural gas in Kentucky took a hit in 2011, however, as prices plummeted to around $2 per unit, noted Andrew McNeill, executive director of the Kentucky Oil and Gas As-sociation. Companies weren’t showing an interest in new natural gas exploration in Kentucky because it wasn’t economical to do so at the time, he said. In early 2012 for

instance, EQT announced it would halt all new drilling in the state and concentrate on production in the Marcellus Shale region in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

“Now we’re starting to see companies that had not been investing or drilling in the state are starting to come back and do some new explo-ration,” McNeill said. “We’re seeing some of the revitaliza-tion of the industry back in Kentucky.”

McNeill noted EQT, the largest producer of natural gas in Perry County, recently an-nounced the company would now drill 50 new wells in Ken-tucky in 2013, and while his organization certainly would like to see more production, he views that as a step in the right direction from the indus-try’s outlook in 2011.

“I think what it’s telling us is that we’re making a come-back from a low point in 2009-2010, 2011-2012,” he said.

While each of the top 15 gas-producing counties in the state are located in Eastern Kentucky, the state’s western counties ranked high in oil production (Perry County ranked 6th). McNeill said be-

cause oil prices have remained high, at near $92 per barrel, more companies are showing an interest in production in Kentucky.

“A lot of folks have diversi-fied and taken equipment for gas exploration and started developing oil opportunities,” he said.

In addition to tax revenues, the oil and gas industry also has a direct effect on the labor market in the state, according to the association’s report. More than 9,000 people in Kentucky were employed ei-ther in the direct extraction of oil and gas, or through drilling or support operations in 2011. Average salaries topped out at $61,448 for oil and gas extrac-tion, while support industry salaries stood at just over $50,000.

Dr. Paul Coomes, a pro-fessor for the University of Louisville who conducted research for the association’s report, said as prices for natu-ral gas rebound from the lows of the past few years, he also expects the industry in Ken-tucky to rebound. The num-ber of producing wells in the Kentucky dropped to a five-year low in 2011.

One of Perry County’s newest businesses held its grand opening on June 12. Smith’s Woods and Waters first opened its doors on April 1, noted co-owner Barrett Smith, and employees have been adding stock ever since. The store, located on Highway 15 just north of Hazard, carries firearms along with a variety of outdoors items for fishing, hunting, and camping. “It’s something different,” Smith said. “You’ve got gun shops and then some archery sops, but you don’t have a full-feldged sporting goods store in Perry County, other than Walmart.” The store is 5,000 square feet, and Smith described it as a famly-friendly business that doesn’t just cater to men, but also carries merchandise of interest for women and kids.

Former University of Kentucky standout Jeff Sheppard takes a charge to demonstrate a defen-sive tactic during Monday’s Shoot Hoops Not Drugs basketball camp.

93 attend Leslie County Shoot Hoops campHYDEN — “Just like basketball, life

is a team game,” Jeff Sheppard, former University of Kentucky all-star, told par-ticipants in the fourth Operation UNITE Shoot Hoops Not Drugs basketball camp of 2013 Monday evening.

“You need to surround yourself with the right team,” Sheppard instructed the 93 youth participants from three Kentucky counties (Leslie, Harlan and Perry) plus Tennessee. “If you don’t, you stand a re-ally, really good chance of losing.”

Sheppard said it is critical to learn how to follow the rules early, listen carefully, give your best effort and make the right choices.

“If you will do this, and stay on the straight line, you will be a better player and succeed in everything you do,” Shep-pard said.

Shoot Hoops Not Drugs camps combine basketball skills instruction in conjunction with anti-drug and self-esteem messages.

All participants received a free event

T-shirt, regulation basketball and were entered into a drawing for two portable basketball goals given away at the conclu-sion of each camp. Goal winners in Leslie County were 7-year-old Dalton Roberts of Stinnett, left, and 9-year-old Conner Ash-er of Davidson Fork.

Presented by Codell Construction Man-agement and Senture, Shoot Hoops Not Drugs camps are fun, interactive and pro-vide a safe, drug-free activity where chil-dren have an opportunity to interact with positive role models while learning funda-mental basketball skills.

Parents and guardians attended a brief UNITE Foundation education program on synthetic drugs and how to talk to their children about drugs.

This is the eighth year for the camps. Through Monday’s camp, 6,204 youth have participated in 48 regional Shoot Hoops camps.

Man gets four years in child porn caseCris RitchieEditor

HAZARD — A Perry County man will serve four years in prison for the possession and distribution of child por-nography.

Detectives with the Kentucky State Police arrested 24-year-old Craig A. Bailey in May 2012 following an in-vestigation that culminated with the execution of a search warrant at Bailey’s Krypton residence. Authorities report-ed seizing several pieces of evidence, including electronic equipment that was used to distribute child pornography.

The investigation was conducted by the KSP’s Elec-tronic Crime Branch, and was part of an undercover In-ternet Crimes Against Children investigation. It began five months prior to Bailey’s arrest after police reported discovering a suspect sharing images online.

Bailey was indicted in October 2012 on six counts of distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance of a minor, and 17 additional counts of possession of mat-ter portraying sexual performance by a minor. Both are Class D felonies punishable by a maximum of five years in prison for each count.

Bailey pleaded guilty to the charges during an appear-ance in Perry Circuit Court on April 25, and was sen-tenced this month to serve a total of four years. Addi-tionally, Bailey will be required to register as sex offender and comply with state sex offender laws upon his release from prison.

Updates sought for Kentucky Health Coalitions DirectoryLOUISVILLE — The Foun-

dation for a Healthy Kentucky asks your help to update the Kentucky Health Coalitions Directory, a list of local groups working on health related is-sues in the Commonwealth.. This first revision of the 2012 directory is designed to iden-tify additional coalitions and update group contact infor-mation. More than 140 active coalitions are listed in the Foundation’s current Kentucky Health Coalitions Directory.

“These are local residents working on solutions to health

issues in their cities and towns,” said Susan Zepeda, CEO and President of the Foundation for a Healthy Ken-tucky. “These groups have dif-fering levels of organization and are pursuing various goals. The Coalitions Directory is a resource for them and allows them to connect with other groups working to make their community a healthier place to live, work, and play.”

Of the 143 coalitions are in the current directory, some are increasing access to healthy food and physical activity;

others are planning needed screenings and education for people at risk for serious health problems like diabetes and other chronic diseases; yet others are improving working conditions through smoke-free ordinances. These groups rep-resent health change efforts in all of the Commonwealth’s 120 counties.

Follow the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/healthykycoalitions to submit new or revised information to the Coalitions Directory. The Foundation’s aim in creating

and now updating the direc-tory is to raise awareness of these local efforts and to fos-ter collaboration, build local capacity, provide technical as-sistance to these groups and celebrate their successes.

Sierra Club, AEP reach deal on Big Sandy plantFRANKFORT — Si-

erra Club and American Electric Power recently reached an agreement in principal that would re-solve the future of power generation in Eastern Ken-tucky after the retirement

of the coal fired generators at the Big Sandy Power Plant near Louisa, in 2015.

The proposed deal com-mits American Electric Power subsidiary Ken-tucky Power to invest in a host of clean energy and

energy efficiency programs along with a focus on new low-income community development investments in Lawrence County. Both coal fired units of the plant were previously scheduled for retirement and this

agreement will see some of the new power coming from a plant in Mounds-ville, West Virginia owned by AEP subsidiary Ohio Power.

“Kentucky Power has taken a step in the right direction,” said Alice How-ell, chair of the Cumber-land Chapter of the Sierra Club in Kentucky. “It is critical that we continue to look for ways to support economic transition in-vestments in Eastern Ken-tucky as coal-related jobs disappear, while creating a clean energy future based around home grown eco-nomic development and smart energy solutions. This deal starts us along that path.”

The agreement commits Kentucky Power to signifi-cantly increase its energy efficiency investments over the next five years. From three million dollars this year, to four million in 2014, five million in 2015 and six million in invest-ments per year from 2016 to 2018 and to continue at that level thereafter. These instate energy efficiency investments are likely to bring jobs directly into the Kentucky Power service areas while decreasing the total energy consumption

of eastern Kentucky.“Investment in energy ef-

ficiency creates local, good paying jobs,” continued Howell. “Weatherization, home efficiency inspec-tions and the other activi-ties bound up in thoughtful energy efficiency programs serve the people in lo-cal communities directly by lowering energy bills and employing our family members and neighbors in the process of making our own communities more en-ergy efficient.”

Further, the agreement commits Kentucky Power to incorporating a request for 100 megawatts of wind power into their upcoming integrated resource plan-ning (IRP) process. The IRP process essentially creates the blueprint for where electricity will be generated and where the company will buy electric-ity over the next few years.

“Investing in wind pow-er is an investment in the future of Kentucky’s econ-omy,” explains Nachy Kan-fer, a senior official with the Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign. “When we spend our energy dol-lars upgrading our power to clean, renewable energy sources what we’re really doing is spending it on

American workers. Wind power is expanding every day and is becoming in-creasingly vital to the 21st century energy mix. Ken-tucky has the opportunity to be on the forefront of this new economic move-ment and this agreement takes us one step closer to that future.”

Finally, the agree-ment pledges Kentucky Power Company to in-vest $500,000 towards economic development in low-income communi-ties in Lawrence County and surrounding counties. At least one third of that money must be used for job training with a focus on weatherization and energy efficiency training.

“Responsible investment in Lawrence County by Kentucky Power is critical to the region’s long term well-being,” concludes Howell. “Responsible retirement of coal-fired power plants like Big Sandy must include a just transition for the workers affected by the retirement. Kentucky Power’s commit-ment to job training in the region is a strong first step in that direction.”

More than 800 power outages reported after storms hit Perry CountyHerald Staff Report

Perry County braced for severe weather and storms last week, these coming just after a stretch of warm, dry weather had hit the region.

Severe thunderstorm warnings and watches were de-clared by the National Weather Service (NWS) for most of Eastern Kentucky, including one for Perry which ended at 2 p.m. on Thursday. More than 2,300 Kentucky Power customers reported outages, and over 800 of those out-ages are reported to be in Perry County, though power was quickly restores to all customers in the county.

Eastern Kentucky was only under the slight risk catego-ry, according to NSW, of receiving severe thunderstorms from a storm system that has been hitting the Mid-Atlantic hard. The storm system causing these area outages had been forecasted by the NWS Storm Prediction Center to possibly cause significant wind damage, large hail, a few tornadoes, as well as heavy rainfall; however the more ex-treme weather conditions were less likely for the region.

Auditor released for state’s Title VI plans

FRANKFORT — Auditor Adam Edel-en today released the fiscal year 2011-12 Title VI compliance audit of state govern-ment agencies that receive federal funds and must comply with state law by sub-mitting Title VI reports and implementa-tion plan updates to the Auditor’s office and the Human Rights Commission by July 1 of each year.

Title VI of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits any state agency receiv-ing federal funds from denying access to a program on the basis of race, color or national origin.

In reviewing the plans, auditors found that all 24 agencies that received federal funds had complied with state law and submitted a plan, and all but one plan had been submitted before the deadline. The Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet missed the deadline by two days.

In their most recent review, auditors tested the 24 agencies for 13 compliance requirements and found one exception with the submitted plans – the Depart-ment of Military Affairs was insufficient in record keeping and reporting. Last year, auditors found one exception – the

Department of Education did not suffi-ciently address requirements for minority rep-resentation on its planning or advisory board.

In additional testing, auditors found all 24 agencies developed a written LEP plan, which improves access to services for persons with Limited Eng-lish Proficiency.

Each agency will receive a copy of the report that will notify them of areas of non-compliance in accordance with Ken-tucky law.

Auditors recommend that agencies with non-compliance issues carefully review the provided laws and regulations to de-termine necessary actions to take in order to comply with the Title VI reporting re-quirements.

Kentucky lawmakers in 1994 estab-lished the requirements. The Auditor’s office sends its findings to the Governor, Legislative Research Commission, Hu-man Rights Commission and each state agency, as well as to the federal govern-ment for review. An agency’s failure to submit a Title VI report and implementa-tion plan could possibly result in a loss of federal funds.

Thanks to one of UKAA’s more lucrative donors, Greg Wells, and the good folks at his 1st Trust Bank of Hazard and London, the University of Kentucky’s three most recognizable coaches (Matthew Mitchell, Mark Stoops, and John Calipari) provided the bank’s special friends and a select few members of Big Blue Nation from Eastern Kentucky to a special afternoon at Hazard Community and Technical College.

Two UKAA officials who made the trip with Coach Stoops and Coach Mitchell (Coach Cal came in a different plane after speaking earlier in the day at another site) said these type of functions are very rare these days, and only those special friends of the UKAA can make it happen.

After a dicey airplane ride through lightning and thunderstorms deep into the mountains, Mark Stoops took the podium first and was introduced by the master of ceremony to the gathering as the only undefeated coach on the UK campus, which of course drew the first laugh and ovation of the afternoon. Stoops began his remarks by notifying everyone that he gains a little more momentum each day that goes by about his excitement in where he thinks the UK football program will be in the not-so-distant future.

Logan selected for national Blue-Grey combine

Tyler Logan

Herald Staff Report

Tyler Logan, an upcoming se-nior at Hazard High School for the 2013 football season, was recently invited to the Blue-Grey National Super Combine, an event that will include 170 “elite

prospects” from previous com-bines in 26 states.

Logan, a lineman who helped the Bulldogs to a 9-4 record last season, will attend the national combine at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, on June 21-22. His selection, ac-

cording to a letter from Blue-Grey Director Gus Bell, was made due to his performance during the 2012 season, along with his show-ing at a recent regional combine.

The national combine will also serve as a tryout for the Blue-Grey National All American Game,

which will be played between North and South squads chosen from the combine later this month. The All American Game will be played on Jan. 11, 2014, and will be televised on Fox Sports from Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Ten predictions for 2013 NCAA football season

Making your summer archery checklistArt Lander, Jr.

June is the halfway point on the calendar and is highlighted by the longest day of the year: the official start of summer on Friday, June 21 this year.

For Kentucky’s 90,000 plus archery deer hunters, the Summer Solstice seems to trigger another seasonal phenomenon - the need to get ready for the upcoming hunting season.

Kentucky’s 136-day archery deer season opens in late summer, this year 15 days before the first day of fall. The season dates are Sept. 7, 2013 through Jan, 20, 2014.

The signs are everywhere across rural Kentucky that deer season is not that far off: mast is beginning to grow on trees in the woods, fields are lush with clover and tall grass. Deer fawns are becoming more visible and bucks are growing back their antlers with renewed vigor. When deer sea-son opens, deer will still be in their summer pattern and highly visible while feeding late in the day in fields.

For avid archery hunters, it’s never too early to think deer. Late June is a good time to get organized by check-

ing out equipment and adding new accessories. Start practicing, even if it’s been months since the last hunt of last season.

For archers who don’t shoot year-round, here’s a checklist to study in preparation for the upcoming season.

Take your hunting bow to a trusted technician now and have it checked out, top to bottom, especially the bow string.

“Most people wait until it’s too late,” said Tommy Downey, owner of 4-D Archery in Henry County. “The string may look okay, but it may be weakened under the center serving (where the arrow nock is attached).”

Downey said bow strings can also stretch over time and hundreds of shots. “That gets the bow out of tune, so that it shoots erratically and inconsistently.”

If you plan to change vital equip-ment, don’t wait, do it now.

“For most people it takes about a month to adjust to a new arrow rest or bow sight,” said Downey. “It takes longer than you would think to sight in your bow when there’s been a change in equipment.”

Inspect arrows carefully. Make

sure they are straight and free of cracks. Replace damaged fletching or nocks and be certain that the weight of your field points (practice points) are the same weight as your hunting broadheads. Set aside one broadhead for practice. As open-ing day of archery deer season ap-proaches, sight in your bow with your practice broadhead.

When you start practicing, take it slow. “Don’t shoot too many arrows at first,” said Downey. “Ease into it.”

Older archers might consider turn-ing down the poundage or the draw weight of their compound bows and just shoot a few arrows a day, to build muscles back up.

Sloppy practice is bad practice, even in the beginning. Concentrate. Get back into the rhythm of archery.

When the season opens and you draw on that first deer, your mind and body should be on auto-pilot. Archery is part mental, part muscle memory. Be ready.

Fire department holds 33rd annual bass tournament

It was another good year for the Vicco-Sassafras Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department’s 33rd Annual Bass Tourna-ment, held last week at Carr Creek Lake.

During this event, 33 boats entered the tournament, and at the end of the 7 a.m. dead-line on June 9, 19 of those weighed in a total of 33 bass. All fish were released alive

back into the lake.First place this year went

to Jeff Coots of Leslie County and James Sumner of Perry County with a total weight of 10 pounds. They received $1,200 and double trophies, and also received another $500 for catching the Big Bass with a 4.36 pound fish.

Second place went to Josh Roberts and Jack Roberts, both of Whitesburg, who re-ceived $800 and double tro-phies. Their total weigh-in was 8.38 pounds.

The Vicco-Sassafras Volun-

teer Fire and Rescue Depart-ment would like to thank the communities for their support, the many sponsors for their continuous donations and support to the Annual Bass Tournament, and the men and women of the Vicco-Sassafras Volunteer Fire Department who help put on a first-class tournament each year.

The department invites anyone to come by and see how these donations are be-ing used for the building and equipment they use in times of need.

Ira D. CombsTri State Sports Media

I’m getting a little antsy myself with col-lege football not that far away, so while surfing the net and picking the brains of a few special friends I’ve made in the media contingent who cover UK and the SEC, I’ve come up with what I think may be a few interesting tidbits that if nothing else will pro-duce some conversation for the next few weeks.

1 - Thanks to a unique-ly favorable schedule, Louisville will make a run deep into the season and come dangerously close to a BCS champi-onship, but somewhere along the way, prob-ably in November, stub their toe. Then Charlie Strong will pole vault out of town right on the heels of his QB who will take an early entry into the NFL, and right be-fore the Cards enter the new more challenging ACC without a proven QB.

2 - Vanderbilt will re-turn to being Vander-bilt. Three of those five SEC wins last year were against the worst teams UK, Auburn, and Ten-nessee have fielded in their schools’ history, and the Dores did lose their QB who helped them win two other games by two and three points in the last few minutes of the game.

3 - By next Christmas, if not earlier, Tom Ju-rich will open his arms wide and forgive Bobby Petrino, who will come humbly crawling back to Louisville and tackle the ACC challenge that Charlie Strong feared without a quality QB. That will pole vault Petrino back onto the national scene as early as he could expect.

4 - The BCS cham-pion will come from the south once again, prob-ably Alabama, Flori-da, Georgia, or Texas A&M, with two solid dark horse candidates being Clemson and Florida State.

5 - There will be a spe-cial and very competi-tive BCS championship game unlike last year’s inept Notre Dame em-barrassment, probably something like an Ala-bama vs. Ohio State or

(surprise, surprise) a Georgia vs. Florida State match-up.

6 - The coaching change will not affect the Ducks of Oregon; they will be a solid top 10 team.

7 - If Florida State takes a step backward from the last two years’ major accomplish-ments, could we look to Lexington and give more slaps on the back to Mark Stoops and D. J. Elliott.

8 - Barring injury, and that’s a big if, it says here Maxwell Smith will be under center against WKU, and either Pat-rick Towles or Jalen Whitlow will transfer before the WKU game. All three are way too talented to carry a clip-board up and down the sideline, and only one can play.

9 - Kentucky will beat WKU in the season opener. I can’t see Max-well Smith or whoever the UK QB is throwing four picks like last year and basically handing the historic upset win to the Toppers .

10 - UK fans will re-turn to Commonwealth Stadium with energy and help Stoops steal at least one and maybe two SEC wins late in his initial season, after his young and talented re-ceiving corps have time to get a little game-sea-soned. UT and Missouri both look beatable, especially at Common-wealth Stadium if UK is not beat up physically by then.

News from western part of the Common-wealth

I just spent a little time preparing for some early football season columns and noticed on the WKU website two items that jumped out at me:

1 - Our ole friend Bobby Petrino has add-ed a new coaching posi-tion to his first staff at WKU. He now has an assistant coaching posi-tion listed as a charac-ter coach. Imagine that!

2 - On the advanced non-conference WKU football schedules, which was listed through 2016, there was no sign of a game with UK. Can you say nine-game SEC sched-ule on the horizon?

Coach Matthew Mitchell took several questions from the crowd Thursday during an event at HCTC.

Photo ProvidedCoach Calipari is pictured above with, from left to right: Jan Wells, Greg Wells, chairman of 1st Trust Bank, Tori Wells, and Evan Whitaker.

From Page B1

Coaches

He spoke of his excite-ment for the program because of the way many talented recruits are ac-cepting their pitch in how his staff plans on turning around the negative image of the past that has haunted UK, except for a select few minor bowl years. Stoops mentioned in a question-and-answer session that he expects DT Donte Rumph and OLB Bud Dupree to be special players, along with Raymond Sanders, and that the threesome

will definitely be leaders on their respective sides of the ball.

Stoops did emphatically make one point that stood out to me, and that was: “Don’t get misguided by all the air raid talk. We will have a credible running game. I’ll see to that.”

The last question for Stoops was one where the coach was asked to com-ment on a recent public comment by WKU’s Bobby Petrino that he felt strong-ly the Hilltoppers would open his tenure 2-0, mean-ing he felt confident his

initial WKU team would have no problem whipping SEC schools Kentucky and Tennessee this fall.

Stoops’ reply was, “Is that right?” with a wink of his right eye to the gather-ing.

Matthew Mitchell took the podium next and spoke of his rural Mississippi roots and how similar they were to Eastern Kentucky, and how people fight so hard for what they have in life.

Mitchell shared how he started out as a high school coach and told the audi-ence how he initially had grand dreams and aspira-tions of eventually being the coach of the Los An-geles Lakers. He learned after one month into his high school coaching ca-reer that he was being as-signed the additional du-ties of being the assistant football coach, and that he probably should adjust his dreams and aspirations to a more realistic goal.

The last and obviously most anticipated speaker of the event was John Cali-pari.

Coach Cal spoke of how his father raised him to keep life in a proper perspective as he drifts through it. He mentioned after winning the 2012 NCAA championship then being eliminated 12 months later in the first round of the NIT by Rob-ert Morris College, he un-derstood that advice more than ever and humbly absorbed it as he worked his way through this off season.

Calipari, being a vet-eran and masterful public speaker, was in the middle of telling a favorite story of his experiences when a train full of coal cars came within close proximity of HCTC with its whistle blowing strongly. Cal just stopped his speech abrupt-ly when he heard the train and said, “God this feels so much like home where I grew up in the coal fields of western Pennsylvania. I was on the other side of the tracks back then. You know and I know every-one in here knows what the other side of the tracks

were at some point in their life.”

Coach Cal did tease the crowd once during his re-marks in mentioning his excitement about a special regular season event he was helping organize that would make this season’s final State Farm Champi-ons Classic between Duke, UK, Michigan State, and Kansas look elementary. He added, however, that he could not divulge any particular items just yet.

All in all it was a special afternoon for a few special friends of the UKAA and located right where the roots of the UK basketball fan base started the legacy many years ago.

After the event, the coaches spent a little extra time mixing and mingling with everyone in a very humble and appreciative manner to make it an even more special afternoon.

The 2012/2013 Dennis C. Wooton Eagles soccer team won the 6th grade championship with a hard-fought victory over the A.B. Combs Bearcats. This will be the “final flight” for the Eagles as the school’s students will begin a new school year at the new East Perry Elementary. The Eagles had won the championship for the past four years, and look to continue their winning ways as the East Perry Miners next season. The coaches would like to thank all the fans, parents, and players for such a successful season and look forward to next season.

201 Speedway hosts night races

Since re-opening late last September under own-ership of Isom’s Jarrod Breeding, the 201 Speed-way has had 12 late model races, including the events ran this season.

An example of the level of competition at the 30-year-old race track, which at one time was an active strip mining operation, is the fact that in all 12 late model races since re-opening, not one late model driver has visited victory lane as a re-peat winner. This tradition of competition continued Saturday night with the running of the “Southern Steel Iron & Metal Recy-cling” Moonshine Run-ner 50, sanctioned by the Southern Regional Racing Series with 28 drivers from seven states visiting the high banked red clay oval

at Sitka, Ky.Dunnville, Ky. driver

Brad Neat posted the quickest late model qualify-ing effort, turning a 13.562 in the Tim Logan Racing entry. Heat race wins went to Michael Wright of Isom, Allen’s Brandon Kinzer and Neat setting the field for the first annual South-ern Steel Moonshiner 50 Late Model feature event.

With close racing for the second spot, Grayson, Ky. driver Jackie Boggs took a half straight away advan-tage to the $3,000 South-ern Steel Iron & Metal Re-cycling Moonshine Runner 50 Late model checkers, becoming the 10th dif-ferent winner at 201 this season. After starting in 13th, Martin County driver Kenneth Howell raced to a solid second place finish.

Director Terry Thies has announced the cast for the upcoming production of “The Fourth Princess” by Geoff Bamber.

The play, a presentation of Little Theatre of Haz-ard, will be performed dur-ing Summer in the Park, a celebration of the Arts and Bobby Davis Park, on Saturday, June 22 at 7 p.m. Thies also announced that Letha Patterson will be the music director for the play.

This year the group will add more musical numbers to their show and that is only being made possible by Patterson having time to work with LTH this summer. Everyone in the production is very happy to have Patterson on board and are adjusting well to the additional song and dance numbers. Patterson is also running the sound effects for the show.

“The Fourth Princess” brings together actors from age 4 to age 18 to tell the story of a broke kingdom (from paying off the dowries of threeprin-cesses), their valiant king just home from the Crusades to discover his treasury is no more. His ever faithful Prime Minister Batac concocts an impossible task to bring the country back to greatness.

The cast of the “The Fourth Princess” includes

by alphabet: Emile Ad-ams, Dana Bush, Jonathan Counts, Mary Daniels, Al-exa Davidson, Ava Dixon, Libby Doll, Mandy Engle, Connor Francis, Raegan Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Kelsy How-ard, Madison Howard, Hal-le Jo Kilburn, Seth Lewis, Trey Lewis, Madison Mill-er, Elly Morris, Haley Pat-terson, Henry Sepulveda, Skyanne Slone, Brock Tor-res, Sarah Torres, and Lily Williams-Lucero.

The Teen Players will also present a short play, “Among Friends and Clut-ter” by Lindsey Price. Seth Lewis, one of our originals,

is directing with assistants Connor Francis, Rebecca States and Tori Howard. The play is a series of vignettes around the lives of seven people who were in the same First Grade class. The Players in this production are: Alexa Davidson, Con-nor Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Seth Lewis, Elly Morris, Skyanne Slone, and Sarah Torres.

Summer in the Park was voted the Best Community Festival for 2012 in March’s “Reader Choice Awards” conducted by The Hazard Herald. The Art Festival will be June 22 this year with displays ready for viewing

by 4pm. Any young artists in the area, ages 3-18, are wel-come to submit pieces for the Youthful Art Display this year. Artists of all disciplines are welcome to display, dem-onstrate and sell their works at the festival, with no charge to the artist. Room is still available if you would like

to set up for the festival. See our page on Facebook, Sum-mer in the Park, to sign up, or contact Terry Thies 436-2848. The Festival is made

possible this year by the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, the Hazard Lions Club, Community Bank and Trust and Whitaker Bank.

GEAR UP KY holds summer camp for grade-schoolersAmelia HollidayStaff Reporter

Some grade school stu-dents in the Perry County School District kicked their summer off by be-coming certified scuba div-ers thanks in part to GEAR UP Kentucky, a six-year grant program meant to enrich students’ lives aca-demically to ensure college and career readiness.

Jeff Campbell, GEAR UP academic specialist with the Perry County School

District, explained that GEAR UP partnered with the Challenger Learning Center of Kentucky and the Perry County Board of Education to be able to offer a five-day camp for Perry County students who will be going into the seventh, eight, and ninth grades this coming school year.

“It’s been really nice, we’ve had a lot of kids, and the thing I really like about it is we’ve had kids from all across the spectrum. We’ve

had our kids who do really well academically and our kids who sort of struggle academically who we’re trying to get better. It’s a nice mix,” Campbell said.

The camp is geared to-ward getting kids excited about math and science, so the activities the teachers leading the groups planned for the students were math or science related, however not in the typical class-room style.

“One group went on a fossil dig today up on

Route 7, they actually found fossils,” Campbell said. “We let the teachers get creative, whatever you want to do as long as it’s sort of within the guide-lines of science and math.”

Campbell said so far the camp has had 90 partici-pants on average each day.

“We’re finishing up on Friday, we’re going on a college visit to the Univer-sity of Louisville and then stopping by the zoo,” he said on Wednesday.

Civitas News Service

PRESTONSBURG — As state and federal agen-cies tighten their grips on pill pipelines, other seri-ous drugs, with their own unique problems, are begin-ning to see resurgence in Eastern Kentucky, warned Floyd District Judge Eric Hall, during a meeting Tuesday of the Communi-ties Against Drug Addic-tion.

Hall was the guest speaker during Tuesday’s meeting of Communities Against Drug Addiction (CADA), and took time to discuss current law enforce-ment concerns, as well as the benefits of drug court.

Hall said that it is tough to determine if the law enforcement and judicial communities are making any real progress in the war on drugs. “It ebbs and flows,” Hall said. “It’s hard to say whether it’s getting worse, better or anything like that.”

However, Hall says re-cent work by state and fed-eral law enforcement com-munities has tightened the grip on “pill mills” and in-terstate drug trafficking in prescription medications. But Hall warned, “Drug ad-diction is kind of like trying to grab a hold of a wet bar of soap. You grab it and it squirts somewhere else.”

Drugs typically associ-ated with urban areas may be making their way into Floyd County, Hall said, as the ease of access and af-fordability of so many pre-scription narcotics has been choked off. He said the vac-

uum created by a reduction in prescription drugs being brought into the region has created a fertile area for outside criminal elements to bring in other, potential-ly devastating drugs.

“We’re seeing the return of some very, very destruc-tive drugs. Heroin, mainly,” Hall said. “We’re seeing car-tels out of Ohio and other places that are developing. We’re seeing connections with Mexican drug gangs, and I can tell you, folks, you don’t want those guys to be your neighbors. These are violent folks who stop at nothing.”

Hall says conversations he has had with local and regional drug interdiction units indicate drug battles are on the horizon.

“That’s a looming battle,” said Hall.

More and more meth-amphetamine labs are also springing up, Hall said. Meth labs that employ the “shake and bake” method of creating crystal meth have been steadily increasing.

“We’re making progress in a lot of our drug issues, but that doesn’t mean it’s being eliminated. So many times, it just rolls off into some other direction.”

Recovery programs are also making progress, said Hall, who announced the graduation of another eight drug court participants during a ceremony to be held in September. “It will be our largest graduation,” Hall said.

Drug court is a three-phase program, which pro-vides recovery meetings, structured drug testing,

and access to education and employment oppor-tunities. Optimum par-ticipation takes at least 15 months to complete, though Hall admits that is very rare. Hall says drug court officials understand the difficulty in weaning a community off drugs, and provide every opportunity for participants to succeed. The participants’ success is the program’s success, says Hall.

“It works. It absolutely works. Better than any-thing I’ve seen,” Hall said. “There’s one truth, and that’s: Jail does not solve alcoholism or drug addic-tion.”

According to Hall, crim-inal offenders who serve time in jail without re-ceiving any treatment will most often repeat offend within 30 days.

There are also other programs, such as Pretrial Substance Abuse Program (PSAP), a lock-down pro-gram that Hall says has been beneficial to people before they move into drug court.

“Were integrating sev-eral of those folks who come out of PSAP into our drug court program.” said Hall. “Those that do seem to have some element of treatment before coming into drug court, generally do better. It’s not an overall rule, but it seems that they do a little better job.”

A trip to the zoo prob-ably won’t be the highlight of the camp experience for many students as most of the activities available dur-ing the week are hands-on and something many are doing for the first time, like taking scuba diving lessons with New Horizon Diving at the Pavilion in Hazard or building a ro-bot, circuit board and all, to take home at the end of

the day.“It’s a big operation, it’s

something we’ve actually been planning since Febru-ary,” Campbell said.

With money from the GEAR UP grant, which Campbell said was the second year the district had been involved with it, the camp was able to bus the kids to and from Perry County Central high School each day, which started at 9 a.m. and ended at 2 p.m., feed them break-

fast and lunch, and pay for the activities and trips planned for the week.

And GEAR UP grant money hasn’t only been used for camps. This past school year Campbell said the money has paid for numerous college visits for fifth- through eighth-graders to schools includ-ing Alice Lloyd, Eastern Kentucky University, and the University of Kentucky.

“The idea behind the grant is to make them more aware of what it takes to get into college and help them start planning for that, even meeting and working with their par-ents. The GEAR UP grant involves parent partners, and they try to get parents more involved to know about the cost of higher education and things like that,” Campbell said.

Tom Cravens, director

of the Challenger Learn-ing Center of Kentucky, said camps and programs like what the GEAR UP grant is allowing the Perry County schools to do not only benefits students for college and their career, but can also help them in the short term.

“One of these kids in here, they were concerned that he wasn’t going to do so well at camp. He had gotten into some trouble on the first day and they said he got into the robot-ics program yesterday and it was just like, he got in-terested in it and they said he had his halo on all day yesterday,” Cravens said.

Campbell said the camp has went better than any-one could hope for, and hopes the turn out will be the same if not better if another camp is held next summer.

Personal finance: What to do when a loved one diesJason AldermanColumnist

Whether it’s expected or accidental, the death of a loved one can shake you to the core. The last thing you want is to have to in-terrupt grieving to deal with mundane tasks, but unfortunately there are many actions that must be done on behalf of the deceased. Some must be taken immediately, while with others you can take your time and reflect on the best path to follow.

Here’s a checklist:If the death occurs un-

der hospital or hospice watch, they will notify the proper authorities and help you make arrange-ments with the coroner’s office for transport of the

remains. If it happens at home, call local police or 911 for assistance. If he or she was an organ donor, you’ll need to act quickly.

Reach out for help in making arrangements and locating key documents. Split up such tasks as contacting others who will want to know, tak-ing care of pets, collect-ing mail and safeguarding the deceased’s home if it’s now vacant.

Look for a will or other document that spells out the deceased’s burial or cremation wishes – many people make funeral ar-rangements in advance, even paying ahead of time. The funeral home can guide you through the paperwork process,

such as placing an obitu-ary and ordering death certificates.

Hopefully, the deceased prepared a will that names an executor to oversee the disposition of his or her estate; otherwise, the court will have to appoint one. In sorting through their files, also look for: a trust; insurance poli-cies; bank, credit card, mortgage and loan ac-counts; safe deposit box key; contact information for lawyer, doctor, ac-countant or other profes-sional advisors; and pass-words to computer and other accounts.

Within the first few days, start notifying orga-nizations with which the deceased had business or

financial arrangements. In most cases you’ll be required to submit a certi-fied copy of the death cer-tificate, so be sure to order ample copies. You’ll need to contact:

Current or former em-ployers for information about possible final wages, accrued vacation, retire-ment, life insurance or other death benefits.

Social Security Admin-istration. If they were re-ceiving Social Security benefits, you’ll need to stop payment right away. Funeral homes often do this, but be sure to ask.

Once you’ve notified Social Security, they will contact Medicare to can-cel benefits. However, if they were enrolled in a

Medicare Prescription or Advantage Plan or had a Medigap policy, contact each to cancel coverage.

Veteran’s Administra-tion. Veterans, their im-mediate family members and certain others may be entitled to burial at a na-tional cemetery.

Forward their mail to a secure address so you don’t miss important cor-respondence.

Cancel their driver’s license to avoid iden-tity fraud.

Banks, credit unions, credit card issuers and other lenders to close accounts – or if you are a surviving spouse, to convert accounts to your name only.

If they had a safe de-

posit box and you don’t have the key, ask what documentation you need to gain access.

Insurance companies, to cancel auto and homeown-er’s policies; however, con-sider keeping them acti-vated until assets are sold, in case of theft or damage.

Rayburn credits education with career successIn 2002 Dawn Rayburn

had three kids, no job, and received food stamps. Now, after graduating from Haz-ard Community and Tech-nical College and Eastern Kentucky University through the University Center of the Mountains, she has a job she’s always dreamed of hav-ing, and has an income that means she no longer quali-fies for food stamps.

“It is fabulous. I hated depending on the govern-ment,” she said. “Now I have an education, I never will

again need that assistance.”With her Criminal Justice

degree, Rayburn was hired May 6 at the Buckhorn Chil-dren’s Center as a Mental Health Associate. She loves a job where she can help young people.

“I remember when I had lost a job at Sykes in 2011, I prayed to God, asking him what direction I should take. When I woke up the next morning, it was made quite clear to me — I need to work in a career where I work with youth.”

Rayburn said her journey has not always been easy and she was tempted to quit along the way but she kept going. “I needed to be a posi-tive role model for my kids,” she said. It warmed her heart when daughter Kait-lyn put a message on Face-book that she was proud of her Mom for graduating. “I cried when I saw that,” Ray-burn said, with a smile.

After graduating from Buckhorn High School in 1993, Rayburn worked in restaurants for many years. “I knew I would be stuck working in restaurants if I did not get an education. I wanted better for myself and for my kids.”

She describes the edu-cation she received from HCTC as “high quality” and she appreciates the help she received. “I was out of high school ten years when I came back. It was kind of hard to get into the swing of things but Student Support

Services helped. Other stu-dents helped. The teachers helped. If I needed tutoring I could get help.”

She praised EKU’s Bev-erly Patterson and advisor Steven Kappeler for being there at every turn. “Classes were small and we had the one-on-one with faculty, if we needed it.” She appreci-ated EKU’s faculty and staff.

Health care providers recognized for electronic health records

HAZARD — Hazard health care provid-ers and hospitals were recently recognized by the Kentucky Re-gional Extension Cen-ter (Kentucky REC) in conjunction with the Office of the Na-tional Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) for their leadership in the nationwide transi-tion toward electronic health records (EHR).

Kentucky REC, based at the Universi-ty of Kentucky, is one of 60 regional exten-sion centers across the country commissioned by the Office of the National Coordinator to help providers and hospitals transition to EHR technology.

Kentucky REC and Kentucky Health In-formation Exchange (KHIE) held the 2013 Meaningful Use Sur-vival Seminar April 12 at the UK Center for Excellence in Rural Health in Hazard to provide informational sessions on hot topics in Health Information Technology such as Meaningful Use Stage 2, Privacy and Secu-rity, and Meaningful Use Audits. To kick off the seminar, the fol-lowing local healthcare practices and hospitals were awarded:

Aaron Jonan Memo-rial Clinic

Pediatric Associates of Pikeville

Primary Care Centers of Eastern Kentucky

Prestonsburg Prima-ry Care, PLLC

Salyersville Medical Center

The Doctor’s Office, PLLC

These practices and hospitals join an exclu-sive group of leaders – the Meaningful Use Vanguard (MUV). MUV is an initiative of ONC, and is designed to hon-or, thank, and bring to-gether clinicians who have successfully im-plemented electronic health records. MUVers (members of the MUV program) serve as local leaders and advisors in the nation’s transition toward an electronical-ly-enabled health care system.

“On behalf of the Kentucky REC, I would

like to congratulate these practices and hospitals on this im-portant distinction,” says Dr. Carol Stelten-kamp, Chief Medical Information Officer for UK HealthCare and Di-rector of the Kentucky REC. “Their experi-ence is invaluable in helping clinicians take the necessary steps to transform from paper-based practices to electronically-enabled systems. We commend them for being at the forefront of EHR imple-mentation, and hope their example will en-courage others to fol-low in their footsteps.”

Kentucky REC imple-mentation specialists provide resources and guidance to help pro-viders gain federal in-centives through the Meaningful Use Incen-tive Program. To date, the Kentucky REC is as-sisting more than 2,500 individual providers in more than 600 provid-er locations. Kentucky REC is also assisting more than a third of all Kentucky hospitals. To date, the Kentucky REC has helped provid-ers in Kentucky secure over $56 million in Meaningful Use incen-tive dollars. For more information about the Kentucky REC, visit www.kentuckyrec.com.

FRANKFORT — The Annual Compliance Re-port (ACR) on public wa-ter systems prepared by the Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) indicates health-based violations dropped from 96 in 2011 to 48 in 2012.

The report, required by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, lists Kentucky’s 454 public water systems and any violations imposed in the previous calendar year. The 454 systems

include cities, water dis-tricts, manufactured hous-ing communities, schools, parks and campgrounds.

Kentucky’s public water supply systems test on a regular basis for bacteria, nitrates and other inorgan-ic chemicals, radiological elements and more than 100 industrial chemicals and pesticides. The results are monitored by DOW. A water system that exceeds the standards for a con-taminant is required to take corrective action and notify its customers.

Most Kentucky water systems test their drinking water as required, submit the results to the Kentucky Division of Water on time and demonstrate that their drinking water meets the maximum contaminant levels. When discrepan-

cies occur, DOW issues a violation. The Annual Compliance Report com-piles these violations and makes them available to the public.

“The 2012 ACR reveals that the majority of viola-tions at Kentucky’s public water systems last year involved administrative infractions rather than

problems with water treat-ment,” said Julie Roney, coordinator of the DOW Drinking Water Program. “Once a violation is issued, treatment is usually adjust-ed very quickly and most supplies soon return to the required ranges.”

Roney said the division does, however, take seri-ously the requirement of public water systems to submit accurate monitor-ing reports in a timely manner. This emphasis is reflected in the number of administrative violations, which increased from 228 in 2011 to 398 in 2012. Administrative violations include reporting incor-rect data as well as omit-ting required information and data.

The DOW continues to work with public water sys-tems to help them adhere to all rules and regulations.

“We are encouraging public water systems to be more meticulous in their reviews of laboratory re-ports to ensure accuracy and completeness before they are sent to the Divi-sion of Water,” said Roney. “We are also encouraging these laboratories to con-sider using electronic data submittal to minimize manual report errors. Water system staff and operators are also urged to attend DOW training events that provide infor-mation on current rules and guidelines as well as utility management.”
