Clean up for clean plants Autumn has arrived in Kentucky and, as leaves change color and fall from trees, it is time to focus on landscape sanitation.

Good sanitation practices can help reduce diseasecausing pathogens. These organisms can survive for months or years on dead plant material or in soil, causing infections in subsequent years. Elimination of disease-causing organisms reduces the need for chemical controls and can improve the effectiveness of disease management practices. Following these sanitation practices both in autumn and throughout the growing season can reduce disease pressure in home and commercial landscapes.

Sanitation Practices • Remove diseased plant tissues from infected plants

Prune cankers (Figure 1) and galls from branches by making cuts well below visible symptoms (Figure 2). Clean tools between each cut with a sanitizer, such as rubbing alcohol or household bleach.

Rake and remove fallen buds, flowers, twigs, leaves, and needles (Figure 3) • Discard all above- and below-ground portions of heavily infected perennial and annual plants. Severely infected trees and shrubs should be cut down and stumps removed/destroyed.

• All discarded plant material should be burned, buried, or removed with yard waste. Do not compost diseased plant material. Exercise caution when storing limbs and trunks as fire wood or using for

mulch.

• Soil from containers should be discarded and not reused.

• Remove weeds (including roots), which may serve as alternate hosts for pathogens.

• When treating infected plants with fungicides, remove infected tissues prior to application.

Deanna Rice, RN, BSN, CNOR, Director of Surgical and Obstetrical Nursing at Highlands Regional Medical Center, recently completed all of the requirements for certification as a Faith Community Nurse (FCN). The certification includes attending more than 45 hours of designated study in the Foundations of Faith Community Nursing program, through the University of Kentucky in Danville, KY. Faith Community Nursing is a growing specialty practice of nursing that is recognized by the American Nursing Association. It is a recognized specialty practice that combines professional nursing and health ministry. Sometimes referred to as Parish nursing, it emphasizes health and healing within a faith community. The philosophy of the Faith Community Nursing (FCN) embraces four major concepts: spiritual formation; professionalism; shalom as health and wholeness; and community, incorporating culture and diversity. It is a ministry that is embraced by many different Christian denominations as well as other faith traditions. It is rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and the historic practice of professional nursing, and is consistent with the basic assumptions of many faiths that we care for self and others as an expression of God’s love. One goal of Faith Community Nursing Association is to have access to a FCN nurse in every faith community. The FCN’s tasks are advocacy, education, and referrals for clients, monitoring of the health and spiritual issues of clients and providing emotional and spiritual support to clients and families.

Personally, Rice hopes to use her own training as a Faith Community Nurse to work with her own Faith Community, serving as an advocate for the congregation’s health and wellness needs. Professionally, she plans to use her FCN experience to meet the spiritual needs of Highlands’ patients, and to encourage other Highlands’ nurses to become a FCN. In the future, Rice hopes to become an instructor and offer the FCN program to nurses in Eastern Kentucky.

“Being a nurse advocate for my own church has always been important to me. Now, I can use this training to serve in a more purposeful way. I am also eager to develop a group of nurses here at Highlands to minister to the spiritual needs of our patients.

Often we assess our patients for everything except their spiritual needs. And for some, the most important thing they desire is to have someone to talk with them and pray with them. I hope to do that and also to work with other nurses to provide this care to our patients. I am very proud to serve as a FCN and so proud of Highlands for caring about our patients’ spiritual needs enough to send me to this training” says Rice.

About Rice: A graduate of Big Sandy Community and Technical College and Morehead State University, she became a registered nurse in 1991. She has worked at Highlands for 24 years; in a management position for almost the last 10 years. Rice resides in East Point with her husband and has two children.

These Thoughts By Kathy J. Prater

A round tuit As I washed a few dishes earlier this morning, I found myself thinking a little about the many interests I have had in my life.

Though they have run the gamut from culinary arts to

gardening to music, movies, pets and children, I have to say that there has been one interest that has remained true­—writing.

I think I first recall feeling as though I wanted to

grow up to be “an author” when I was in about the fifth grade. It was one of those school years when we had to read, and then write book reports on, I think, 20 books. That number may be off but it’s the one that sticks in my head at this time.

While most of my classmates moaned and groaned at the prospect, it was one that upset me little.

My biggest concern was “which 20” out of all the ones available to read.

Of course, my teacher had provided a list to help us along but, as I recall, we

didn’t have to follow it. As long as it wasn’t a comic book – or a picture book – I think it was good to go.

That was the year I read “Lad, a Dog” at my father’s urging. I had never ran across or heard of the book before and I remember that I kept referring to it as “Ladadog” to my father who finally brought home a copy and pointed out to me the comma in the title.

I think reading “Lad, a Dog” was the first time a book ever moved me to tears. Reading of Lad’s many exploits and the many times his actions

were misunderstood by humans who punished him with beatings, and of the four days he spent covered in a marsh mud pit after being bitten by a copperhead snake, as well as his eventual death, caused me to cry more than once.

Yet, I kept reading, as we book lovers always do.

Lad, a Dog had its bright moments as well – such as when Lad received extra praise or comforts once the misguided humans realized they had beaten him in error or when he won a blue ribbon at a prestigious dog show. Lad even found his

Lock that car!

You just have to love some of the new cars these days. You can get into basic transportation for thirteen grand or so and on the high end, one hundred thousand is not unheard of and in fact, is often exceeded for those who sink their earnings into luxury sedans or racy sports models. But no matter whether one buys an entry level car for basic transportation or opts for the luxury or performance of something more sleek and powerful, we want to know that our investment, no matter how large or small, is safe.

Sure, we buy an insurance policy to cover the inevitable fender bender and make the bank happy

but that car is ours doggone it, a rolling extension of our homes and often our work that we tend to leave things inside of a personal or business nature, safe in the knowledge that our ride is secured with the latest anti-theft technology.

Everyone loves their key fob and the reassuring wink of the lights and tone of the horn or security system that comes from the touch of a button. Basic or advanced, a key fob uses a computer chip to send a unique code via radio transmission to your car’s security system.

The car also has a chip that generates a code. The car receives a transmitted code and compares it to its own.

If the codes match up, the car opens. There’s a bit

The Camo Chronicles By Wm. Wade Smith @wadesmith007 on Twitter

Why should you hunt?

Everyone knows this time of year. It gets dark earlier, there’s a nip in the air, and the excitement of the holiday season is upon us. But to many people like me, this time of year means one thing, hunting season! Hunting season is a pretty exciting time of the year for hunters everywhere. In Ohio, they actually dismiss school for the first day of gun season.

People schedule their vacation days around the rut. It’s a heritage that hunters have gotten used to, maybe even taken for granted. Being able to hunt has been a bountiful tradition since the Native Americans roamed this area. Right? Well, not exactly. Kentucky was the

prized hunting ground for Native Americans. Pronounced Ken-Tuck-Ee by most tribes of the area— meaning dark and bloody ground­—but the Iroquois pronounced it Ken-TahTen, which means land of tomorrow. Maybe we are a little of both here in Eastern Kentucky. Our history has been dark and bloody, but hopefully we are slowly moving toward the land of tomorrow.

The Native Americans were superb conservationists, meaning they harvested only what they needed and what they could use.

When Europeans arrived, that all changed, for the worse. Deer meant food and their skin was coveted. Buckskins were

own way home after his owners allowed him to become lost on the way back from the dog show.

Reading – and writing – are the best, next to movies. Though I do an awful lot of both reading and writing each and every week, as I have for several years past, it seems I never do get around to writing exactly what I want – that book. That book with my name on the cover as “author.”

Geesh, I gotta get around to doing that.

more to it, but that is the nuts and bolts of it all Each key fob/car security pair is unique, and each one can create tens of billions of codes and hackers should not stand a chance of cracking individual codes, at least not in a short time. But it turns out that this isn’t as secure a system as everyone has been led to believe. *How car thieves attack* Researchers have discovered that by twice intercepting the wireless signal, they could narrow down the possible combinations from billions to just 200,000. After that, it is a simple matter for a laptop computer or even an advanced smart phone app to figure out the code in a half an hour or less and unlock the car. Still, it takes a skilled car thief or hacker to carry out this kind of attack, so the odds of it happening to you are slim.

But thanks to “alwayson” key fobs, there’s another risk that’s much more likely to have your car playing a starring role in the sequel to “Gone in Sixty Seconds.”

Always-on key fobs,

often called a “proximity key” present a serious flaw in your car’s built in defenses. When your keys are in range, a criminal can open the car and the system will think it’s you. This is accomplished with the aid of an inexpensive $89 electronic unit that detects key fob signals from a football field away and then transmits them to your car.

In other words, your keys could be in your pocket while you are at home or at work, and criminals could walk up to your car and open it. It happens every day.

Bye-bye new car. *How to stop a car thief* Fortunately, there are some simple steps you can take to keep hackers from stealing your signal.

If you don’t want to spend any money, you can stick your “always on” key fob into the refrigerator or freezer. The multiple layers of metal will block your key fob’s signal. A word to the wise though, you should first check with the fob’s manufacturer to make sure that freezing your key fob won’t damage it.

If you’re not hot on freez-

ing your key fob, you can toss them in the microwave, just don’t turn it on.

Stick your key fob in there, and the scanning devices used by criminals won’t be able to pick up its signal.

Since your key fob’s signal is blocked by metal, you can also wrap it up in aluminum foil. You can also make a foil-lined box to put your keys in, if you’re in a crafting mood. Be careful you do this right though, any leaks in the wrapping make this attempt at signal blocking all but useless.

If you do want to spend a little cash to feel safer about things, you can buy a signal-blocking pouch that can hold your keys. These types of pouches/wallets are now available at many retailers.

Of course it is no big deal to knock a window out and there are a few people out there who still have the skills to open some of the new cars with a wire hanger, a specialty tool or even a lock pick, but just go try and find a wire hanger these days and you will find it much easier to buy and learn to use a code reader.

You should also be aware

that pirating signals isn’t a problem solely for car key fobs. Newer passports, credit cards, debit cards, driver’s licenses and other I.D. cards contain radio frequency identification chips that enable criminals to use a high-powered RFID reader to steal your personal information, even rob your bank account, from a distance.

Yet another bevy of reasons the techno basic days prior to 1985 still look pretty good to me. We put our keys in a lock and turned it one way or another to lock or unlock the car. Primitive huh? Personally, I think it all started going bad when they got rid of 8-tracks, started pushing the “Radar Range” oven and introduced Jiffy Pop popcorn.

All of that was all about “need it right this second” convenience then and it is the same now. You know, come to think of it, having a CB radio in the car and hollerin’ for an unknown eastbounder on the Parkway was kind of Smokey and the Bandit cool, too, but I suppose that will wait for another column.

the fashion trend of the day. The Europeans needed a supply and the skins were very much in demand. Europeans would finance Native American hunts and they would repay loans with skins from bucks, hence the term “buck” for a dollar bill.

You would never imagine now, driving at night down Route 23, that whitetail deer were on the verge of extinction not that long ago. They didn’t suffer the path of most extinct animals, that being habitat loss, but rather deer were overhunted. It was just that plain and simple. For over 300 years, whitetail deer were aggressively hunted. They were hunted as a food source, as material for clothing, and as sport. This wasn’t just a problem in Kentucky, it was nationwide. As late as 1915 there were only a handful of deer left in the Bluegrass. The state was poised to lose the entire herd and the General Assembly recognized the problem and stepped in to stop it.

In 1916, it was deemed illegal to hunt deer in the state of Kentucky. Deer from New Jersey and Michigan were imported

here and kept in pens to boost the herd. Once numbers increased, they were slowly reintroduced into the Commonwealth’s hills and meadows.

Private companies imported deer from Wisconsin and other areas to help in the endeavor. By the 1940s, Kentucky’s herd had increased to 2,000. The population of deer was inching up, but inching was all. Being raised in Johnson County in the 1980s, I can remember that you only saw deer in Lawrence County in significant numbers. My father, raised here through the 50s and 60s, never saw a deer growing up at all. It was a rare occurrence during that time. Sort of the way people revere black bear in this area now. The best increase in population of deer came between 1995-2001 when the whitetail herd increased by 66 percent. Today, nearly one million whitetail deer call Kentucky their home. So, why are they thriving now? Residents and landowners still hunt deer. The population of humans taking over their habitat is also staggering.

The answer, however, is simple. Hunters. When

you purchase a hunting license, you are buying into conservation. The money generated by hunters for conservation is astonishing. Not only does it boost the economy, it gives conservation a boost, as well. Through careful management via your monies spent on tags and licenses, the state and other organizations have revitalized big game species to numbers greater than when Daniel Boone walked the timber.

There are far more deer, turkey, elk, and bear now than ever in the history of this area. Lots of folks in society today like to criticize hunters as cruel, as inhumane to animals, or as non- animal lovers -- and they couldn’t be more wrong. Without us, the hunters, most species would be long gone.

Monies collected by the state go toward preserving wildlife for future generations by purchasing land, importing species, studying and preventing diseases, and, most of all, by managing the numbers. In fact, wildlife agencies across the United States have almost done too good of a job. There are record numbers of species across

the board. So, now, more than ever, controlling the numbers by hunting seasons is very important.

If too many animals appear, they begin to compete for habitat, even if that competition is with humans. Crops get devoured; animals seeking food damage cars crossing busy highways; and gardens and landscaping get picked clean at night. All of which make people angry when it happens to them. So, management is key if we want to be cohabitants with the wild animals. Without hunters, these statistics would go through the roof. Last year alone there were 144,000 deer harvested by hunters just in Kentucky. These hunters buy licenses. They buy tags.

They buy guns, ammo, clothes, socks, tree stands, and on and on. The money soaked into an economy by hunters is truly impressive. They will buy an ATV and maybe buy a truck to haul it in and gas to fuel them up with.

Professors participate in Ohio Valley History Conference

Weenies, Nabs, and Little Debbie’s to last them only a few days.

In 2011, a National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, was conducted in Kentucky and the findings were amazing – $2.9 billion was spent in total on wildlife-related recreation in Kentucky; $798 million of that was from hunters and Kentucky was not even one of the top ten states for retail sales (New York is third, weird, huh?).

Yeah, it’s big business.

How big is hunting in the rest of the United States, you may ask? About 34 million people enjoy outdoor wildlife-related activities. They spend about $208 million dollars per day. That’s $1.5 billion per week, $74 billion per year. If a corporation generated the income that hunters and fishermen spent, the company would be larger than Target, Costco or AT&T. Spending by hunters and fishermen exceed the revenues of Microsoft, Google, eBay, and Yahoo combined. According to the Congressional Sports-men’s Foundation, hunters generate an estimated $2.4 billion just in annual federal income tax. That’s enough money to cover the paychecks of 100,000 U.S. troops.

Hunters spend more on hunting dogs alone then all the skiers spend on ski equipment in the entire U.S., and that’s just on dogs, people! Hunters are responsible for 500,000 jobs in the U.S. That’s more jobs then all of the employees at American, United, Delta, Northwest, Continental, US Airways, Alaska Air and American West airlines combined. Over 300,000 people hunt in Kentucky

Big Sandy Community and Technical College history professors Tom Matijasic and Don Barlow participated in the Ohio Valley History Conference Dr. Tom Dr. Don Oct. 1-3 at Eastern Matijasic Barlow Kentucky University.

Matijasic presented a paper entitled, “Robert Kennedy among the Slovaks: Explaining the Need for a Civil Rights Act.” One of President John Kennedy’s top priorities in 1963 was the passage of the Civil Rights Act. “I demonstrated the manner in which the Kennedy’s tried to appeal to ‘white ethnics’ in Midwestern states,” said Dr. Matijasic.

“My presentation highlighted the rhetorical strategies employed by Attorney General Robert Kennedy when he addressed the Slovak Sokol in Youngstown, Ohio on July 14, 1963.

He skillfully exploited his family’s immigrant and religious background to connect with his audience and link the oppression of their ancestors with that of African Americans.”

Barlow moderated a session entitled, “A Few Good Men: Clint Hill and the Secret Service, Marines and JFK, and Army Officer Education JFK to Nixon, 1961-1969.”

“My session included three papers on military Two Bedroom history, two of which 1-1/2 Bath touched on John Kennedy’s involvement in VietBamboo Hardwood nam and two Marine commanders who differed over Tile Kitchen and Bathroom our going into that war, one saying ‘No’ and the other All Stainless Steel Appliances believing we could do it Full Brick by supporting the South Vietnamese under Diem Stone Accent and with no proof that JFK really would have pulled Concrete Driveway out, which is still a big controversy,” said Dr. Barlow. “Another paper covered the story of a Secret Service Agent who was assigned to protect Jackie and who felt that he failed to do his job that day. The third was about the declining standards for admission into the military officer corps.”

and over 13 million in the U.S. It is not only viable to the economy, it is viable to conservation and viable to our way of life. If you suddenly turned off the money spent by hunters and fishermen in the United States, it would make the market crash of 2008 seem like a day at Camden Park.

We owe a huge chunk of gratitude to hunters. Yes, hunters have earned their stripes not only as conservationists but also as a viable, key part of the economic structure of this country. They stimulate our economy; they keep coyotes from helping you get the groceries out of your car when you get home from Food City and the deer from eating all your grub from your garden. They also keep the animals from competing with each other and with us for food and habitat.

Clean, ethical kills by hunters are sure better than finding a 60 lb. deer that died a slow miserable death of starvation. It’s also a great food source for us. Wild game is the healthiest food and meat you can eat. Period. It is 100 percent organic and 100 percent free range with high protein values and low fat content. Wild game is literally what’s on the menu at God’s Earth, Turf, and Surf Café. Is it as easy as a number 3 in the drive-thru? No. It’s hard work and it’s a lot of exercise. Yes, you just read the word exercise. While elk hunting in Washington with my good friend Dr. Rick Pelphrey in 2008, my handheld GPS recorded I walked 67 miles that week. I lost 17 lbs.

Dawgs use big play ability to down Blackcats

Central Elementary Lady Eagles County Champs 2015

Cental Elementary girls basketball wins third straight JCEAA tourney The Central Elementary Lady Eagle basketball team are champions of the JCEAA-Johnson County Elementary Athletic Association- league for the third season in a row.

The Lady Eagles capped off a 12-0 undefeated season with a 28-20 win over Meade Memorial in the final played Satuday night at Johnson Central High School.

Hennessy Ermac led the way with 12 points- scoring eight points quickly in the third period to break open the game.

Brooklyn Music added nine points for the winners.

Mallorey Holbrook added four points and 11 rebounds. Whitney Rohr contributed with 8 rebounds and 5 blocked shots. Haley Butcher added three points. Chloe Dyer had five rebounds. Zoe Butcher had six steals.

Makinley Cantrell had three rebounds and two steals. Other players for Central were Abby Rohr, Marissa Dorton and Rachel McMullin.

Meade (8-4) was a tough opponent leading 12-11 at halftime.

But Ermac took over in the third period leading Central on a 10-0 run to take a 21-12 advantage.

The Lady Eagles led 2414 with one quarter left.

Klara Spriggs led Meade with eight points. Makayla McCoy added five points and 10 rebounds.

Kara Ward scored three points while Becca Wright and Katie Stapleton scored two points each.

Meade shot 27 total free throws connecting on 8 while Central hit two of eight foul shots in the game.

The difference ws the third period when Central

outscored Meade 13-2.

“I’m very proud and happy for our group of kids,” longtime Central coach Jason Hurt stated. “They have been working very hard on their game and they executed on the biggest game of the season.

Both teams had a great season. Can’t wait to see them play together at the next level.”

W.R. Castle holds off Highland in consolation In a battle of Lady Cats, W.R. Castle defeated Highland 20-19 in the consolation game.

Lindsey Cochran hit a shot around the free throw line wit 16 seconds left to put W.R. Castle ahead for good.

Highland, who lost two tough games in the tournament (28-27 to Meade in the semifinal), couldn’t get an open attempted shot in the final seconds.

Pirates sink Golden Eagles undefeated season

Staff Report With the district championship wrapped up and sights set on first round opponent Covington Holmes the Johnson Central Eagles needed one more thing checked on their check list—an undefeated season.

However, the Belfry Pirates had different plans as they sunk the Golden Eagles bid for an undefeated season with a 41-0 offensive explosion. The loss closed the Golden Eagles regular season out with a record of 8-1.

The Golden Eagles offense and defense both struggled as Coach Matney and his staff moved players around this week due to injuries and sickness. The team’s flow was greatly affected by the missing piec-

es and such short time to prepare after sustaining injuries and illness last week.

Senior Quarterback Bryce Workman and defensive lineman Dawson Stalker were among those who set out this game due to injury and sickness.

Belfry took full advantage as they scored on their first play from scrimmage off an 80 yard jet sweep

by Xondre Willis. Belfry wouldn’t look back as they increased their lead to 35-0 over the Eagles at the half and then finished strong in the second half to complete the shutout.

Offensively for the Golden Eagles Geordon Blanton went 3 for 7 through the air for 10 yards and had 5 carries for 6 yards, Sophomore Steven Gound

Ethan Reynolds makes a tackle on a W.R. Castle ball carrier. Reynolds had the lone touchdown run as Central Elementary claimed the JCEAA football county championshipthis season.

had 2 receptions for 13 yards while Senior Connor Ratliff had 1 reception for 3 yards. Junior Gunner Slone finished with 10 carries for 38 yards, Sophomore Trevor May had 10 carries for 37 yards, Ratliff had 7 carries for 30 yards, and Senior Bryce Skaggs had 5 carries for 5 yards. The Pirates held the Golden Eagle offense to a season low 180 yards of total offense.

Coach Matney challenged his team to get focused and use the upcoming week to get ready for the KHSAA State Playoffs.

Johnson Central will host Covington Holmes this Friday night at Eagle Field in the first round of the playoffs. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m.

Prestonsburg and Lawrence County just feels like a good ole local rivalry.

And its fitting the two play football and finish off the regular season.

Although the game itself means nothing toward postseason, both coaches know its a game they want to win and not rest any players.

“We are going to go and play football,” Prestonsburg John Derossett said in pregame last Friday, “We have this game on our schedule we are not worried about injuries and things like that. The keyboard heroes can talk about that stuff. We are going to play who we have available and try to win a football game and I’m sure coach Joey Cecil has the same approach.”

The Lawrence County Bulldogs handed Prestonsburg a 27-15 loss at Josh Francis Field to end the

high school regular season.

Both teams will play this week in the playoffs with Prestonsburg traveling to Lexington Christian Academy and Lawrence County hosting Fleming County.

The Dawgs (7-3) got out to a 27-0 lead with their big play ability. A 54 yard touchdown pass to Robert Dalton from Grant Kiser and an 84 yard toss to Austin Chaffins who got most of the yards after the catch made it 14-0 at halftime.

Kiser completed 13 of 14 passes going a perfect 7 of 7 in the first half.

Timmy Dalton scored two rushing touchdowns in the third period and had 39 yards to give the Dawgs the comfortable lead.

The Blackcats never quit.

On Senior Night, Dalton Frasure kept fighting. He had over 100 yards and scored a pair of fourth period touchdowns to end his playing days playing in

front of the home crowd.

Prestonsburg moved the football all game but were not able to get to the end zone to late in the game.

The game was scoreless after one period until Kiser finally found Robert Dalton over the top.

Robert Dalton totaled 74 yards.

It was the fifth home loss of the year for Prestonsburg. They are 3-0 on the road where they usually play very well.

“We’ve got to clean up some things and we should all be healthy going into the playoffs. If we play well we got a chance to win. We will make every effort to be ready.”

The Blackcats defeated LCA two years ago at home in the playoffs.

LCA comes into the playoffs with a 6-4 record.

As for Lawrence County they host 7-3 Fleming County.

A perfect ten!

Tigers tame Wildcats to finish undefeated season Paintsville Tiger football rolled through a season with no losses for the first time since the 1970s.

A perfect 10-0 record with one close game.

They defied all odds and were still doing it Friday night as they traveled to Shelby Valley (a legitimate Class 2A contender) and handed the Wildcats a 4427 defeat.

Kash Daniel had another big night on both sides of the football.

On offense, the senior ran for 97 yards and threw for another 184 accounting for three touchdowns on the ground and one in the air.

On defense, he led the way with 19 tackles- 13 solo.

Christion Keeton had 11 tackles and Ben Daniels had nine. Jonathan Lemaster and Trevor Preston had fumble recoveries.

As they have done in almost every game, the Tigers scored quickly.

On the second play, Luke Trimble ran for a 61 yard touchdown to make it 7-0.

The Wildcats (8-2) actually took the lead at the 4:30 mark of the opening period. After forcing the Tigers to punt, Casey Tackett ran back a 64 yard punt return for a score. After a penalty on Paintsville, Shelby Valley made the conversion for an 8-7 lead.

But it was short-lived.

Daniel hit Darrin Morris for 48 yards and got Paintsville first and goal.

Daniel finished it off with a run and conversion to make it 15-8.

Paintsville never looked back leading 30-8 at halftime.

Daniel hit Kent Phelps for a 74 yard touchdown in the second period and then Daniel ran in another score later in the period for the big halftime edge.

Shelby Valley got on the board again with 3:00 left in the third period as Chandler Rowe had a short run.

However, Daniel scored on a 31 yard Td run and Trimble had another 14 yard touchdown run to make it 44-14.

The Wildcats got two late touchdowns to make the final score. Tackett had one from 7 yards and Rowe went in as time expired.

The Tigers outgained Shelby Valley and ran almost half the offensive plays.

The Tigers had 188 yards on the ground led by Daniel’s 97. Trimble had 89 yards on 6 carries.

Justin Colvin, of Hager Hill, battled some of the biggest wildfires in Washington state’s history earlier this year. He now works for the Division of Fish and Wildlife in Floyd County.

Justin Colvin, 21, of Hager Hill, never gave much thought about becoming a firefighter.

A seasonal job with the Department of Forestry, however, landed the outdoor lover an opportunity to become a professional firefighter.

So, Colvin took the challenge - a challenge that took him more than 3,000 miles from home.

For four months, Colvin, a 2014 Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) graduate, did battle with some of the biggest wildfires in Wash-

Colvin joins fire fighting team in Washinton State ington state history on a 20-person handcrew in the Ahtanum State Forest. He was a member of only one of two handcrews in the entire state as part of the Washington state’s Division of Natural Resources (DNR) Professional Firefighters.

“It’s not uncommon for someone [in Washington] to be a professional firefighter, but it is uncommon for someone from Eastern Kentucky to come out there and join their efforts,” he said. In many western states wildland firefighting is becoming a full time job due to drought conditions, extra dry vegetation, and frequent lighting. The fire season lasts longer and longer every year.

During fire season, Colvin and his crew would work a two weeks on/two days off rotation - 16 hours each day - and would sleep on the ground at an incident command post (Fire Camp). He was part of a hand crew, which often gets sent to the more remote areas of the fire where most heavy equipment and fire engines can’t reach.

“I ran a chainsaw and would help clear brush to kill the fire,” he said. “We would do that by stripping

Colvin was recently hired by the Division of Fish and Wildlife in Floyd County as a Forest Management Technician on a nine-month contract.

What will he do with three months free time?

“I’m heading back to Washington,” he said, chuckling. “The Ahtanum handcrew has already invited me back to work again next season.”

The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley

Make the choice: Be thankful

It’s officially November and we’re all getting ready for our Thanksgiving festivities. Food, football, the Macy’s Day parade and pumpkin pie are all exciting things to have our minds wrapped around, but before we get too caught up in how big the turkey is on the table this year, let’s remember everything we have to be thankful for.

Being able to say you’re thankful for something is a big deal with the world we are living in today. Times are hard, jobs are scarce and disappointment seems to be the headliners for the news every day. However, I’m still able to say I’m thankful and I know you can, too. As you grow older, you become more aware of what’s around you and you realize that being grateful for what you have in your

life is actually a choice you have. You can choose to be grateful as easily as you can choose not to be. However, I encourage everyone to choose to be grateful for what life has given you.

Although I have many more things to be thankful for, I’m sharing with you my personal top 10 list of reasons I am thankful every day.

1) I’m thankful for my fiancé, who loves me at my worst, encourages me every day to succeed at anything I put my mind to and reminds me that I CAN do it even when I think I can’t.

2) I’m thankful for having a family that has always been accepting of the person I am and loving me throughout my life.

3) I’m thankful to live in a town of people who care about the community as a

whole and offer a helping hand to those in need.

4) I’m thankful for all forms of art and how it allows people to express their thoughts and emotions through creativity.

5) I’m thankful for strangers who smile at me, because sometimes I need a pick-me-up.

6) I’m thankful to have friends who I consider family.

7) I’m thankful for not having to wonder about the next time I’ll get to eat and never having had to go hungry.

8) I’m thankful for dogs and how they project a special love that makes a house feel like a home.

9) I’m thankful for good health and getting a new start when I wake up every day.

10) I’m thankful for people who find enjoyment from what I write, share and the encouraging words I receive.

Have you made the choice to be thankful? Take a few minutes out of your day and make a list of whom and what you are thankful for. If it’s a person, tell them more often. If it’s a personal item, appreciate it a little more.

Spend your November really making the choice to be thankful and make being thankful a habit year ‘round.

It’s the time of year to pause and be thankful – and to hopefully remember to do so year ‘round.
