BSCTC president addresses Paintsville Rotary Club

Dr. Devin Stephenson, president, Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC), was the keynote speaker at the Paintsville Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday, August 18 at the Ramada Inn Conference Center.

“It’s an exciting time in higher education in eastern Kentucky,” said Dr. Stephenson. “With the chal-

lenges we face as a region, come great opportunities.”

Stephenson mentioned BSCTC’s strong enrollment, specifically in technical programs offered on the Mayo campus.”Our goal is to work to make sure our programs are relevant and lead to a family sustaining wage for our graduates,” he said.

Dr. Stephenson encour-

aged the Rotary Club to continue their work in the community and serve “as ambassadors for Big Sandy Community and Technical College.”

“We need your support, just as this community needs your service,” he said. “You are the backbone of this community, and I appreciate the work you do.”

Visitors to the 13th Annual Airport Day enjoyed seeing aircraft such as this up close.

Opinion

These Thoughts By Kathy J. Prater

Forever my girl Forgive me for being redundant, as I am about to embark once again on the same subject I wrote about last week in this very space ­—birthdays.

You see, we have several in our family around this time – my granddaughter Lila Jane celebrated her

first Aug. 17, I will celebrate mine Aug. 31, my eldest child will mark her 28th on Sept. 5, and her fiancee will celebrate his on Sept. 8. Hard not to think of birthday cakes, gifts and years gone by during these weeks.

As this paper hits the

streets, mine will be over and Lila Jane might still be playing with her new toys but Emily’s will lie in wait for this coming weekend. This year, she will celebrate her birthday on a Saturday, the same day of the week on which she was born in 1987. And, as also in 1987, it will once again be Labor Day weekend (yes, my family had many humorous things to say about the holiday that weekend in 1987).

It was a weekend I shall never forget. Twice on Friday, I went to the ER; twice, I was sent home. I recall that the tiny strip of litmus paper (or whatever kind it was) that the nurses used failed to indicate that

amniotic fluid was present in the leakage I was experiencing. A little offput that I had just been told I didn’t know the difference between urinating on myself and expecting a baby’s arrival, I suppose I began the weekend a little more than aggravated.

That aggravation only increased as I returned, for the third time, to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning, only to find out that my obstetrician was … “lol,” as they say today … “off on holiday.”

How amusing (not) that I had been in her office that very Thursday and she had mentioned nothing about going away for the weekend. Even though my due

date was – believe it or not – Sept. 5.

As the hours wore on, I was faced with meeting a new doctor who repeatedly told me I was going to need a Caesarean section because my pelvic bones refused to give enough to allow this baby into the world. That information was another, and aggravating, surprise as again, my regular ob-gyn had said nothing, in all the nine months she had been seeing me, about the possibility of a C-section being needed in my case. Having a baby was frightening enough for me to handle, but now they were talking surgery?

It had to get better.

And, it did. But not until I had waited four hours – in excruciating pain – for a surgical team to be called in and prepped for my delivery; and then another oh, I don’t know how many more, for me to be awake and lucid enough to hold my new arrival in my arms without fear of dropping her.

Yes, it was a weekend to remember. And this Saturday, as I look into my beautiful daughter’s face—this grown-up, bride-to-be—I know that all I will remember is that tiny infant, in that little pink blanket. My baby girl, no matter how old she should ever be.

Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington

Shall we gather at the river February 1991. I was in the lead battalion of 1st Infantry Division that had entered Iraq. We went before the Combat Engineers breached the Iraqi Defensive berm for everyone else so as to provide security for the Engineers, as three divisions of Republican were in retreat and headed straight for us. Task Force Iron, made up of elements of my unit, 1/41 Infantry,

along with 3/66 Armor and 4/3 Field Artillery were the middle knuckle of General Schwarzkopf’s famed left hook. We won our battles, mourned our losses and drove on.

Just before we headed for Kuwait we stopped to set up a camp which we would remain in for three days near the banks of the Euphrates River. We set up the Command tent

and arranged the vehicles in an outward facing perimeter, dug fighting positions, strung out concertina wire, set Claymore anti personnel mines, cleaned and then set up our weapons and finally we erected our own four man tents which we then moved our cots into. We then went inside to make our beds and store our gear. When we finished, everyone washed up from one liter water bottles, it usually took four of them by the time you shaved and brushed your teeth, changed uniforms, washed our dirty uniforms and hung them out to dry on the sides of vehicles.

After all of that we were just killing time, sitting around as we waited for the call to chow for the evening. We passed the next hour or so playing Tetris on Game Boys, listening to Armed Forces Network radio news, writing letters home or whatever.

In addition to having an official Chaplain, every unit has that guy who assumes the self appointed duty of being sort of a lay minister. Ours was Sergeant Marvin Johnson (not his real name) Sergeant Johnson was my Squad Leader and a big, rugged and muscular man who stood about six feet five inches tall and weighed around two hundred fifty pounds.

He strips his shirt off and takes off running and laughing as he runs out into the Euphrates into waist deep water. He is having church and his crowd of about thirty or so follow him into the water and they are laughing and clapping and singing, having a big old time, and Sergeant Johnson is baptizing one person after another.

I leaned up against a tree and lit a cigarette as I watched more and more people flock to the im-

promptu church service. It is not long before Sergeant Johnson notices me. I was a bit of a rough and tumble sort in those youthful days and was prone to mischief of all sorts which had at its roots the fact that I liked to drink … A LOT! It seemed that my drinking was always accompanied by smoking, cursing, fightin and so on.

So Sergeant Johnson, this big shirtless black fellow from Georgia who has the build of an NFL linebacker calls out to me from the river as I am leaning against the tree smoking my cigarette and sneaking a nip of Mother supplied contraband Maker’s Mark from a flask. “Weddington, come on out here and let me get that smoking demon, and cursing demon and fighting demon and praise the Lord that drinking demon out of ya’!”

I screwed the cap back on the flask and shook

my head as the warmth of the bourbon spread throughout my chest.. “No Sergeant....I think I will keep my demons right where they are.” The singing stops, he has this blank look on his face and is clearly offended when he asks” “Why would you say that?” Yep, he was mad.

I raised my voice where everyone could hear me: “Well,” I began “...I grew up in a town on the banks of the Big Sandy River and people have been running their poop (Okay I didn’t say poop but this is a family publication) in it for more than two hundred years.....” I pointed towards the water he was dunking his flock in: “People been running their poop in there since the beginning of time!”

There was a long silence as people looked to one another before they began to run out of the water.

Church was clearly over.

Valor and Virtue comes to Prestonsburg for 70th anniversary

By Kevin Horn Author tells the story behind one of the most iconic images in history.

Donald R. Curtis of Nicholasville, stopped by the Floyd County Public Library on August 28, as one of the destinations on his library tour promoting his latest book Uncommon Valor…Common Virtue: The Franklin R. Sousley Story. Uncommon Valor details the life of Marine Franklin R. Sousley, a Fleming County native and one of the six marines immortalized in the photo by Joe Rosenthal depicting the flag raising at Iwo Jima.

Curtis’ father, also a Fleming County native, first introduced him to the story of Sousley at the age of 14.

“He took my brother and I down there when we were teenagers…showed us where he was buried,” Curtis said. “As a teenager I wasn’t much interested in that.”

A former marine came looking for the same site several years later and found there to be only a flat grave marker where Sousley had been laid to

rest. The small, unassuming nature of the marker made it difficult to find the grave site. This former marine got a group together to have a monument erected for the fallen marine, raising about $30,000 to do so. It was at this time that Curtis was working for the monument company that would construct the large memorial.

“It’s about 6 foot wide, 10 feet tall; it’s about a foot thick,” Curtis recalled. “If you pull in the cemetery today, you’ll have no trouble finding it, you can see it!”

Curtis took his children, as his father had done with him years before, to the gravesite and witnessed the dedication of the monument. The event included a 21 gun salute, a performance of the Marine Corps battle hymn, and jets flying overhead. The turnout for the ceremony, around a thousand as Curtis recalls, is what sparked his interest in the life of Franklin Sousley.

“One thing led to another, and I started interviewing some people that were on that island,” Curtis said.

The book includes accounts of several servicemen whom Curtis spoke to, detailing a grueling 32-day bombardment they faced as they attempted to secure the island. It was this engagement that changed American plans from invading Japan to using the bombs that were detonated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The research process went smoothly for Curtis, as those he spoke with were cooperative and information was readily available at the Fleming County Public Library, which features a small memorial to Sousley.

Curtis graduated high school in 1963, then became a painter, one site he painted being the interiors of the Carl D. Perkins Job Corps Center in Prestonsburg. He joined the army, then was hired as a cemetery manager, which led to his entry into the granite business, in which he worked for 40 years before retiring last year. His interest in writing about Sousley largely came from his desire to stay busy during

Author Donald R. Curtis visited the Floyd County Public Library on Friday, Aug. 28. his retirement.

“I’m busier now than I was then, in a way,” said Curtis. “I’ve always had an interest in writing, but I never took journalism or anything like that in school. I just learned from reading other peoples’ material and things like that.”

Curtis has written several articles over the years and his work has been featured in six books, including The

Kentucky Encyclopedia, The Louisville Encyclopedia of History, and The Kentucky Explorer. He has also written genealogy books on the history of his mother’s family and “and should we die… The Cane Creek Mormon Massacre.”

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, the history of the Mormon movement is a subject very close to the

author and he has plans for more historical works based on that subject.

His books are currently available on Amazon. com and local bookstores.

Curtis will be continuing his library tour with dates across Kentucky in September and October so check your local library for more information.

Eastern Kentucky Camera Club’s Eye on Photography

Circular Polarizing Lens Filters

By Anna Wilson If you have never used a circular polarizing filter, you don’t know what you are missing. Talk about the wow factor, the first time I used one and saw the results my first words or word was “WOW.” To really appreciate what this lens can do you have to see it to believe it.

Polarizing lens filters are often used for glare reduction and saturation improvement. This filter works by allowing only particular kinds of light into the camera while blocking out others. Normally, it is used for landscape photographs that feature water, foliage, and sky. Polarizers can darken the sky, remove water reflections, and reduce the glare from foliage, it is similar to wearing sun glasses. Have you ever had sun glasses on and take them off and realize the difference they make in color of the sky and water, if so that is just a small sample of this lens.

There are two kinds of polarizing filters: linear

and circular. While both filters serve their purpose, linear polarizing lens filters, often interfere with most modern camera’s auto focus and metering mechanisms. This is why circular polarizing lens filters are recommended for auto focus cameras, spot-metered manual focus cameras, and modern DSLRs. Unlike UV filters, which only need to be attached to work, polarizing filters have to be adjusted to vary the intensity of its effect. This can be done by twisting the filter clockwise or counterclockwise. The best time to use a circular polarizing lens is when shooting landscapes, especially good for water and skies. Avoid using this lens when shooting with a wide angle or panoramic shot, it may give the sky an uneven color.

A circular polarizing lens filter is one of the most useful items in a photographer’s bag. Used properly, one can capture bright and vivid stills. Even better, it reduces reflection and glare, something that cannot be easily done with digital post-processing technology.

So now that you know the secret of photographing those beautiful scenery shots, the first thing you need to do is purchase a Circular Polarizing Lens Filter and then you need to just get out there and shoot something!

Lifestyles The Cooker Woman Eloise Reynolds Delzer

Favorite white birthday cake This cake recipe was given to me by the late Barbara Castle Pugh. The recipe came on a letter size sheet of paper, typed in letters large enough to be read without the obligatory readers. Barbara sent a note along with the recipe with some information about Mrs. Ruth Stafford, a lady who made cakes from her kitchen on Fourth Street adjacent to the old First Baptist Church. She said birthdays were always more special when celebrated with a cake made

by Mrs. Ruth Stafford.

Mrs. Stafford made these scrumptious cakes from the forties until the early sixties. Recalling them fondly in 1988, Barbara sought out a niece, Imogene Stafford Spears, a loved and revered first grade teacher at Paintsville Elementary for this recipe. Naturally, the Stafford women passed recipes back and forth and Mrs. Spears was able to share her aunt’s recipe with Barbara.

Being more than acquainted with the Stafford family, it is my pleasure to share this recipe that would have been lost had it not been for my dear friend the late Barbara Castle Pugh’s fond memory of Mrs. Ruth Stafford’s beau-

egg whites. Pour mixture into prepared 9 x 13 inch cake pan. She probably used Crisco and flour. I suggest Baker’s Friend.

Bake for 30 minutes at 275 degrees, then increase heat to 325 degrees and bake until done, (15 to 20 minutes) Cool.

Prepare glaze by combining sugar, salt, syrup and hot water in heavy 2 1/2-quart saucepan; boil to 260 degrees. Pour over

well beaten egg whites and beat until mixture creams.

Stir in vanilla extract and spread on cooled cake.

This cake is a party dessert and would be a great centerpiece to any celebration. I am not sure if Swans Down cake flour is still available but, I bet it is. If your store does not have it, there is a really good replacement called King Arthur cake flour available locally.]Now for

World’s Best white icing 2 1/2 cups sugar pinch of salt 4 tablespoons white corn syrup 2 cups hot water’ 2 large egg whites 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

Beat egg whites and set aside. Cream together sugar and butter. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add vanilla and almond extracts to milk. Gradually add flour and milk, beginning and ending with flour. Beat until well blended; fold in

Please add 2 cups of oats to your cookies and they will turn out a lot better. A reader called and asked about the oat omission...

He was right, I goofed. At least I now know not all my readers are women. As a marketing person with a few marketing seminars under my belt I know that if he caught the error a conservative estimate of how many others did... is about fifty people. Bear with me.

Strawberry Banana Dessert Recipe

tiful birthday cakes. Watch for more WWII cake recipes and stories about those who did the baking in the coming weeks Ruth Stafford’s White Cake 5 egg whites 1-1/2 cups sugar 3/4 cup unsalted butter 3 cups Swans Down cake flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 3 teaspoons vanilla 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

some fessing up. If you read the cookie recipes from a previous Around Paintsville Cooker Woman column you probably noticed I omitted a necessary ingredient for oatmeal raisin cookies. I have made this cookie so many times I did not refer to the original copy of the recipe. I always kitchen test my recipes but did not think this was necessary in this case, as I make them fairly often.

3 medium firm bananas, sliced 1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces), cut into 1-inch cubes 1 pint fresh strawberries, halved 1 package (.6 ounce) sugar-free strawberry gelatin 2 cups boiling water 1-1/2 cups cold water 1 carton (8 ounces) reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed My Savings Add to Grocery List Nutritional Facts Directions Layer banana slices and cake cubes in a 13-in. x 9-in. dish coated with cooking spray. Place strawberries over cake and press down gently.

In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; stir in cold water. Pour over strawberries. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Frost with whipped topping. Yield: 16 servings.

Stuffed Peppers 1 pound ground beef 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice 1 cup water 6 green bell peppers 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder Salt and pepper to taste 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).

Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.

Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)

In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.

Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

but most people are more than willing to help.”

As mentioned earlier, “Apple Day” is, for most of us, a time of enjoying ourselves and gorging on foods that we know are probably bad for our hearts, but sublime on our tongues.

For Joe and his team, Apple Day is roughly 18 hours of unending work on a massive scale. Take just a moment and think about Saturdayon Apple Day weekend.

Then think about the exact area the booths and rides were located in that Saturday, and then compare those sights to what you see when you drive through town the very next morning on your way to church.

Where only 24 hours ago there were thousands of people packed in the streets and litter strewn everywhere you looked, you now see…nothing. It’s as if the Kentucky Apple Festival had never taken place. The streets are clean, and all is quiet. You can thank Joe Keaton and his men for this outstanding feat – as they have worked throughout the night to make sure Sunday morning in Paintsville is as pristine as a picture book.

Aside from performing his work responsibilities as well as possible, Joe says

Even though Joe is the director of the city Streets and Sanitation Department, he is often found working alongside his crew no matter the task at hand. his faith in God is a very important part of his life.

Joe has served both God and man as a preacher for 41 years. He says it was his faith that helped him through the tough times during his job at the fire department when he would be called out to scenes of car accidents, many of which children were involved in. Joe has pastored at Pi-

geon Enterprise Baptist Church and Blaine Freewill Baptist Church; he has served as Assistant Pastor at Hagerhill Freewill Baptist Church, and several more, spreading the gospel throughout our communities.

It’s not just on Apple Day weekend that Joe and his crew are at work – they are on the job every

day. Whether it be patching blacktop, keeping the streets clean and clear, maintaining the storm drains when torrential rainfall threatens to flood the town, or clearing the streets of snow and ice in the winter months, Joe Keaton and his men are on the job. So the next time you don’t find yourself standing in ankle-deep water trying to cross the street or tripping over trash while shopping downtown or sliding on ice after a snowfall, know that it is Joe and his crew to who you can tender your thanks.

Joe Keaton is a humble man, and a friendly one. He is the kind of man that you might share a pleasant conversation with on the street some bright summer morning while he goes about his work. What you probably wouldn’t notice, however, is that this man is responsible for making sure your life is not inconvenienced – that you have water when you turn the taps, and that you don’t have to wade through trash to make it to work in the morning. Joe Keaton and his crew are always there, easily visible in their reflective vests. Try imagining what it would mean to not see those vests around town. I think you would agree that life would be changed dramatically, and that we all owe many thanks to Joe and his men.

Boats continued from front

dozens of steamboats operated on the Big Sandy during the 1860s and 1870s.

The “Tom Scott” and “Major O’Drain” were built by Captain Daniel Vaughn of Louisa who also owned several more; a craft built in Paintsville and owned by Captain Green Meek was dubbed the “Frank Preston,” after a well-known Paintsville businessman of the time.

The best known of Captain Meek’s fleet, however, was the “Thealka.”

The Thealka was named for Meek’s daughter, Alice Jane Meek, whose nickname was Alka. The boat got its name when the painter mistakenly painted “Thealka” on its side rather

than the words “The Alka” which Meek intended. It is from this boat that the name of the Johnson County community, Thealka, is derived.

It is recorded that on February 15, 1900, the Thealka broke the Big Sandy’s speed record by completing the round trip between Catlettsburg and Pikeville in 24 hours. The Thealka was lost when her hull was crushed by ice near Whitehouse. Alice Jane Meek, for whom Thealka was named, later became the wife of John C.C. Mayo, a Paintsville coal tycoon.

Steamboats remained on the Big Sandy River well beyond the Civil War period, into the early 1900s when railroads began to take over as a more favored means of transpor-

Until that time, however, the boats carried goods – and people – into our region’s valleys. Often, James said, those who wished to come to the area to live and to take jobs as school teachers and in other professions, would board a

steamboat and work on the boat to pay their fare until they reached their destination. “Many of our local families most likely had ancestors who arrived in the area in such a way,” James said, “and took root and decided to stay.”

Pancakes appear in various civilizations and cultures Pancakes are a staple in households all around the world. Easily prepared from a few basic ingredients, pancakes can be served throughout the day because of their versatility. The question of who invented pancakes has frequently been posed. No one person can take credit for the pancake, as they have appeared throughout history in various civilizations and cultures. Historians say that the first pancaketype food may have been eaten by prehistoric people. According to the Food Timeline, Ancient Romans enjoyed “Alita Dolcia,” or

B

“another sweet.” This early version of the pancake included milk, eggs, flour, and sometimes honey and fruit bits. Some of them resembled omelets and contained cheese and meat.

Many different peoples have created and consumed their own versions of a pancake. Native Americans created course cornmeal “Indian cakes,” the French have very thin crepes and Germans still enjoy thick potato pancakes. Some people enjoy pancakes as a breakfast food, while for others they’re a savory dish served for lunch or dinner. Pancakes also may be

topped with sweets and served as a dessert. In North America, pancakes are served large and small and go by different names, including silver dollars that are bite-sized. In New England pancakes are made thick and called flapjacks.

Others refer to them as griddlecakes.

Whatever the name, pancakes have thrived through many centuries and are still consumed by millions year-round. By combin-

Frasure runs over Cards

Prestonsburg senior running back Dalton Frasure ran for 192 yards on 36 carries and two touchdowns as the visiting Blackcats won at Sheldon Clark 20-7, Frasure did it all-he had another 38 yards receiving while getting seven tackles and two sacks on defense.

He has committed to Austin Peay.

The Blackcats now 1-1 will host Breathitt County Friday.

Sheldon Clark has dropped their first two games and will travel to Betsy Layne.

Brandon Butcher of Sheldon Clark tried to pull in a pass in front of Wesley Hager of Prestonsburg Friday night in Inez.

Golden Eagles open with convincing win in Ohio

The Johnson Central football team got the new football season off to a great start with a convincing 41-6 win at FairlandProctorville Ohio Friday night.

The Golden Eagles ran for 243 yards and threw for 84 more as they built a 20-0 halftime edge.

Eight different players carried the football for Central as they finished with over 30 attempts.

The Golden Eagles scored on its opening drive

of the season as Conner Ratliff scampered in from seven yards away capping off 8 play 58 yard drive.

The TD was set up by a series of Bryce Skaggs runs and a completion from Bryce Workman to Geordon Blanton.

Later in the opening period Gunner Slone added another touchdown for a 13-0 lead.

Workman hit Blanton for a touchdown score on a fade from 39 yards away to make the halftime

score.

In the third period, Workman hit Blanton again- this time for a 45 yard touchdown reception.

Joe Jackson added a pair of touchdown runs for the Golden Eagles in the second half. Jackson had two runs for 55 yards. Jackson’s runs capped off scoring drives of 33 yards on three plays and 75 yards on five plays respectively.

Workman ran for 49 yards.

The Dragons scored

late in the contest following a JC fumble. It took one play and a pass of 11 yards. The Dragons had 126 yards in the air.

The Golden Eagles picked it up in the second half after 99 yards in the first half.

But the defense was stout allowing the Dragons no rushing yards in the first half on 10 carries.

Johnson Central will travel to Lexington Catholic Friday to take on the Knights.

Tigers dominate Panthers in shutout Daniel excels on both sides of the ball

Serving up a title—The Betsy Layne volleyball team won the Johnson Central Serve It Up Invitational Aug. 22 defeating Russell, Phelps, Boyd County, Leslie County and Lewis County (all 2-0 scores). The Ladycats, coached by Christina Crase are off to a 7-0 start. They will attempt to serve up another championship as they begin play in the 15th Region All “A” Classic this week.

Capture Classic­—Paintsville volleyball captured the Champions of the Mountains Classic played at UPIKE, Pikeville and Pike Central Aug. 22. The Lady Tigers won five of six matches with wins over Montgomery County, East Ridge, Pike Central and Letcher Central. The Lady Tigers, competing in the 15th Region All “A” Region Tournament this week, are 7-2 on the season.

The Paintsville Tigers have excelled on both sides of the line of scrimmage through the first two games of the young high school gridiron season.

They have used a stifling defense (allowing just over a total of 100 yards per game to both opponents) and put up over 40 points in both games.

And senior Kash Daniel is a big reason why.

The senior quarterback and linebacker rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns and compiled 16 tackles and forced a Frankfort fumble as the Tigers rolled the host Panthers 43-0 Friday night at Sower Field.

Kent Phelps led the rushing attack with 141 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns.

The Tigers (2-0) rushed the ball 40 times for 320 yards. Alex Spencer finished with 32 yards on five carries.

Daniel also threw for 65 yards hitting on four of 10 passes including a late first half touchdown- a 54 yard connection to James Allen with thirty seconds to go before the break. The score put the Tigers ahead 23-0 at intermission.

Daniel had the first score on the opening drive from three yards out. Phelps scored on a 29 yard run in the second period.

Both Daniel (46 yd. run)

and Phelps (31 yd. run) had TD runs in the third quarter. The Tigers added another score in the final stanza- 28 yards by Silas Stambaugh.

The game matched up elite teams in Class A. But the loss of Frankfort starting quarterback Anthony Robinson due to a broken ankle downplayed the matchup.

The Panthers (0-2) even went to a fourth string quarterback as the game progressed.

The Tiger defense held the Panthers to 123 total yards on 43 plays.

They forced two turnovers- a Luke Trimble interception and a Ben Daniels recovered fumble.

Frankfort had just four first downs.

Penalties were not hard to find.

The Tigers had 11 for 88 yards while Frankfort committed eight penalties for 83 yards.

Paintsville had 385 total yards and 14 first downs.

Brett Bartley hit 3 of 4 extra point tries. Jonathan Lemaster and Daniel had two-point conversion runs.

The Tigers will be home for the next five games beginning Friday with a rematch with rival Pikeville.

The Tigers ended the Panthers season in the playoffs last year. It will also be Alumni Weekend at Memorial Field.

Louisa United Methodist Church Lawrence County native and former contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,” Kelsie May performed at the benefit concert.

Concert held to provide relief for flood victims Bluegrass artists joined forces Sunday, Aug. 23, to raise money and other donations to help the victims of the July flooding that took place in the Flat Gap community. Bluegrass great Melvin Goins joined others such as Larry Cordle, Sammy Adkins, Hammertowne and Kelsie May from NBC’s “The Voice.”

Nancy Price, community liaison, said the musicians were glad to be helping people who are currently in need. “We all know how it feels to feel violated, to be in need,” she said.

Allen Bolling, coordinator of the event – From the Heart, A Bluegrass Story – said he was happy to know the flood victims had the opportunity to take a break from work and worry and sit inside in an air-conditioned building and enjoy a free concert of bluegrass music. “Just giving back to the community with a little bit of music,” he said.

Paintsville Mayor Bob

“Banjo” Neal James of “Turtle Man” fame appeared at the concert. Here, he is pictured with event coordinator Allen Bolling.

Porter recognized Melvin Goins at the concert for his service to the community

by presenting him with a gold key to the City of Paintsville.

The concert was held in the Johnson Central High School gymnasium.

At Louisa United Methodist Church, we believe we are called by God to be a caring, Christ-centered community of faith. This means our desire is to bring healing, hope and wholeness to those around us by sharing God’s love in practical and meaningful ways.

Historic cemetery preservation to be discussed at Johnson County Library

Kentucky has thousands of historic cemeteries, and they range in size and grandeur from Louisville’s grandiose Cave Hill cemetery to the multitude of small, simple family plots that dot the Commonwealth’s rural landscape.

Each of these spaces has a story to tell and holds the remains of loved ones— even if the markers who tell us their names have long since vanished or are no longer legible. The treatment of cemeteries and the burials they contain might seem obvious and without need of explanation, stemming from an informal pact of sorts with all subsequent generations to acknowledge and venerate the long­dead. However, cemeteries have been and continue to be in danger from a wide variety of activities—neglect, development, agriculture, separation from descendants, and lack of sufficient preservation resources, among others.

On Friday, Sept. 18, at 2 p.m. at the Johnson County Public Library, the Kentucky Humanities Council

and the Johnson County Public Library will host Kary Stackelbeck, site protection program administrator of the Kentucky Heritage Council presenting “Historic Cemetery Preservation in Kentucky: Does Sacred Space Ever Stop Being Sacred?” In this talk, Dr. Stackelbeck discusses some of the principal threats facing the commonwealth’s many cemeteries, highlighting the differences in perspectives on spaces that are sacred to some and hindrances to progress for others.

Without advocating for one perspective over another, she poses important questions for society to ponder as we consider the fate of Kentucky’s forgotten cemeteries and those whose preservation is determined by developers and local politicians. This presentation draws on her experiences as an archaeologist who has been involved in the professional excavation and legal relocation of burials, and the consultation process to determine whether and when to undertake such efforts.

Is Everything Permitted?

I have the right to do anything, you say, but not everything is beneficial.

1 Corinthians 6:12

One clear message from the New Testament is that we are under a new covenant, that Jesus has changed the rules of the game. There is clearly a debate of sorts going on amongst the writers of the New Testament about adherence to the rules and laws of the Old Testament. This debate continues to rage even in our own times.

Some churches advise strict adherence to dietary strictures and the rules of morality while some are a lot looser. It may be the case that everything under the sun has its proper use and thus that nothing is inherently “unclean” and yet common sense tells us that not everything is good for us. Many foods and drugs have their appropriate uses but are unhealthy or even deadly if misused. Perhaps everything is permitted in the narrow sense that nothing created by God is inherently bad, but it does not follow that its unrestricted use is advisable. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. Bacon may be okay in small amounts, just like morphine, but it will kill you if you consume too much of it. So we should consider carefully how we use nature’s bounty.

Dennis the Menace’s ‘pain in the neck’ now cures them

By Nick Thomas On August 30, the first annual Guiding Star Gala benefiting ‘A Minor Consideration’ – a non-profit foundation to support young performers – will be held at Lucky Strike in the Hollywood & Highland Mall complex in Hollywood.

Some 40 former and current actors and child stars will be attending the event, including Jeannie Russell who appeared in 38 episodes of “Dennis the Menace” playing “dumb old Margaret” – as Dennis, played by star Jay North, would call her during the show’s four season run on CBS from 1959-1963.

“A Minor Consideration was founded 25 years ago

by Paul Petersen after Rusty Hamer, who played the son in ‘Make Room for Daddy,’ committed suicide,” explained Russell from Los Angeles. “Child actors often have difficulty finding work in the profession as adults, so the organization offers assistance” (see www.minorcon.org).

Although she escaped the self-destructive pathway that some child actors follow, Russell didn’t make the transition to full-time acting in her adult years.

However, she was able to channel her potential into other productive areas and today is a successful chiropractor in the North Hollywood/ Toluca Lake area (see www.jeannerussellchiropractic.com).

“I trained as a dancer as a child but had a couple of falls and was treated with chiropractic as a kid,” said Russell. “My grandmother was also very progressive back in the ‘50s and studied nutrition, so I was always interested in natural healing.”

Despite having theatrical performers for parents, Russell’s acting career wasn’t planned. In 1958, her younger brother, Bryan, was spotted on the street by production staff shooting the TV show “Lassie” at a nearby Hollywood studio.

“A lady knocked on the door to ask if they could use Bryan,” she said. “They needed a little boy’s hand to hold up a can of soup for a sponsor commercial.

Soon after, we both started getting called in for extra work fairly regularly.”

When casting for “Dennis the Menace” began, her brother tried for a role but was too young. He mentioned his sister, who was called in for interviews.

“Jay North was present at one and told the director ‘I like Jeannie!’ We read some scenes together and I was eventually hired.”

Adorned with thick black-rimmed glasses and hair full of ringlets, Russell’s character was a bossy, prissy little girl constantly annoying Dennis with her demands to ‘play house.’ But off camera, the young pair were chums.

“We had the exact opposite relationship and have kept

in touch since.”

While Margaret was a source of mild ‘pain in the neck’ irritation to Dennis, the inquisitive, hyperactive Dennis exasperated his long-suffering neighbor, Mr. Wilson. The role was played initially by Joe Kearns and subsequently Gale Gordon, as his brother, following Kearns’ sudden death during the third season.

“Joe and Gale were both very patient working with kids,” Russell recalled.

“The difference was that Joe vanished between takes, and didn’t hang around to chat. Gale, on the other hand, loved to hang out, tell stories, and joke around. You got the feeling he just loved being on sets.”

Russell’s acting came to an abrupt end as a teenager.

“The years between 1418 can be a no man’s land for acting kids. The studios preferred to hire 20-yearolds to play teenagers so they wouldn’t have to deal with child labor laws. But trying to get back into acting at 18 is like starting all over and some actors just can’t handle it.”

Since an actor’s future is often at the mercy of many factors, Russell decided to move on.

“I wanted a career that I could control and chiropractic was wide open for women at the time,” she said.

In addition to supporting young actors, Russell also

“It’s a pilot we hope will be sold for a series and I

would have a developing role,” says Russell. “Acting is still in my blood and always will be.” ~~~ Nick Thomas teaches at Auburn University at

Card skimming

Skimming, sometimes referred to as “card skimming,” is a type of financial fraud in which information is illegally copied from the magnetic strip of a debit or credit card. Once a card has been skimmed, the criminals perpetrating the fraud can then clone the card and use it to make false purchases and/or steal the card holder’s identity. Account holders may be surprised to learn that their cards can be skimmed at their own banks, where criminals may place skimming devices over card slots at ATM machines. Unsuspecting customers will then swipe their cards and won’t notice anything out of the A credit score is a number lenders use to determine the risk associated with lending a particular individual money.

Many factors combine to determine an individual’s credit score. Payment history, which considers if individuals made payments on time or, if they were late, how late they were in making their payments, bears significant weight. Any bankruptcies, charge offs, debt settlements, foreclosures, or liens will also be considered when a person’s payment history, which some financial professionals suggest accounts for as much as 35 percent of an individual’s credit score, is examined.

Other factors that are considered when determining credit scores are amounts owed, length of credit history and the types of credit, such as credit cards, installment loans and mortgages, currently in use.

Men and women concerned about skimming should avoid outdoor ATMs that are not under bank supervision and surveillance, as well as those machines that well off the beaten path where a criminal won’t attract attention while attaching a skimming device. Concerned account holders also can closely examine their bank accounts online and examine ATMs before swiping their cards.
