RAINY NIGHT...The candidates for JCHS Homecoming Queen and escorts tried to stay dry before the festivities at halftime. Sarah Greene was named Homecoming Queen.

JONATHAN LEMASTER plunged in for a two-point conversion. The Tigers won 56-27 over Bourbon County Friday.

Tigers wallop Colonels to go 6-0 Trimble scores four times, intercepts two It was a Luke Trimble kind of night.

The senior wideout/defensive back did a little bit of everything helping host Paintsville go to 6-0 with a 56-27 thumping of Bourbon County Friday night at Memorial Field.

Trimble scored four touchdowns and had two interceptions during the rain-filled game won by the recently crowned number one team in Class A by the Associated Press.

The Tigers scored right away and it was Trimble who provided the offense.

Trimble shook off a pair of Boyle County defenders and went for the score from 36 yards at the 10:37 mark.

Kash Daniel added a one yard touchdown run moments later for a 14-0 lead.

Daniel hit Darrin Morris for a 50 yard gain that set up the short TD run.

The Colonels made it 14-7 as Clay Bolin hit Kyler Gilbert-Hodges for a tough 47 yard score with

three minutes left in the period.

Early in the second period Trimble struck again.

As Darrin Morris took the hand-off and appeared to be stopped, Morris pitched the ball back to Trimble who had followed Morris down the line. Trimble took the lateral and went eight yards for the score.

Less than 20 seconds later, Trimble had a Pick Six, taking a Bolin pass back for a 27 yard touchdown.

Tigers led 28-7.

Bourbon County (2-3) put up a fight in the second period converting nine of its game total 19 first downs.

The Colonels battled back to a 28-21 deficit as they got touchdown runs

by Marquaze Hill and Bolin.

However, the Tigers got a much needed score with just 6 seconds left.

Kent Phelps, who had 150 yards on the night, ran it in from 12 yards away for a touchdown. Chris Allen hit Morris for the two point conversion following a botched point after kick.

Paintsville led 36-21 at the break.

Any chance that Bour-

bon County would have faded early in the second half. After keeping the ball over five minutes and getting a couple first downs the Tiger defense stopped the Colonels on downs.

It was only four plays later, Trimble struck again this time with a 60 yard run for pay dirt giving the Tigers a 43-21 lead.

Kash Daniel, who had 83 yards rushing, ran for two more rushing TDs in the second half to make the score 56-21. Daniel also led Paintsville with 13 tackles.

Hill ran back a late punt return from 96 yards away for Bourbon County to make the final score.

The Tigers had 447 yards of total offense. Trimble rushed for 143 yards.

Daniel threw for 96 more yards on 8 of 13 passing.

Christion Keeton had an interception for the Tigers.

Bourbon County had 307 total yards with 217 coming through the air from Bolin (23 of 35 passing).

Hill led Bourbon with 94 yards on the ground.

Paintsville will play Thursday this week as Pike County Central comes to town.

Opinion

These Thoughts By Kathy J. Prater

So, how do you like them apple?

Apples, apples, apples!

Step right up and get’cher apples!

Well, that may have been something an apple vendor may have barked back in the early days of the Kentucky Apple Festival, but we’re not very likely

to hear it today. For one, there’s no need because everywhere you look this week, you are bound to see something “apple.”

As for myself, my favorite treat is a red candied apple. Seems, though, they are a bit harder to find than

the caramel covered ones.

I know it’s a lot tougher to make the red candied ones because you have to have everything “just right” at “just the right time” in order to have the process go smoothly. I remember trying to make a batch back in the mid-70s with my then sister-in-law. She “PROMISED” me she knew what she was doing and things did seem to be going pretty well until we both became distracted and left our station in the kitchen. Upon our return, Ebbie grabbed for the spoon we had left in the stainless steel pot and promptly picked the entire pot up off the burner!

The candy had hardened around the spoon and stuck to the pot – it was a mess and we ruined that pot but

we laughed until we both nearly became sick!

In later years, when my children were young, I had a little more success with making caramel apples, though I only remember doing it once. You’re much more likely to find me in the kitchen making a pot roast or a big pot of chicken soup than something sweet – baking can be fun but it’s time consuming and does little to assuage real hunger so being the practical natured gal I am, I’m going to be found cooking up “real food.” My daughters, on the other hand, have both become quite skilled in the confections department – chocolate chip cookies, glazed lemon pound cake, Reese’s pie, and other such goodies they do a good

job of turning out. When they’re in the mood, of course.

In addition to the “regular” dishes I enjoy cooking (chili, oven baked marinated chicken breasts, spaghetti), my children like to point out my “tried and true” attitude toward food – like Reese’s pie, for instance, is a dish I would not be interested in. Nor do I like chocolate covered peanut butter balls or peanut butter fudge, dark chocolate or mint-flavored anything. And if it’s “different,” I’m most likely not going to give it a try. I keep saying that I’m not picky, I just know what I like and what I don’t. Of course, they answer with, “How do you know you don’t like it if you don’t try it?” Umm,

by the looks of it? Believe me, I can just tell.

And when it comes to sweets, the menu for me is pretty short – but I do like apple pie, which brings us back to where we started.

It’s going to be a week, and a weekend, full of apple fun. Fritters, pies, stack cakes, apple slices with a side of caramel for dipping – and some of those other foods such as bratwurst, kettle corn, tiger ears and such that seem to be wildly popular. Whatever your pleasure, and no matter how picky, we’re sure Apple Day will have a treat somewhere for every taste.

It only rolls around once a year – get out and enjoy it!

Our opinions matter—student essays By Sydney Becknell

Festivals in the Big Sandy All across the Big Sandy area, there are multiple counties that host special festivals each year. Johnson, Floyd, Pike, Martin, and Magoffin counties all have some of these said festivals. Since the Johnson Apple Day Fair is coming up, I thought it would be interesting to look closer at how each festival got started.

Since I mentioned it in the previous paragraph, let us begin with The Kentucky Apple Festival. This year will be the 53rd, 2015 Apple Festival. The first thing that most people will tell you about the Apple Festival when you ask them is about all the food that is available for you to try. The next thing that people will tell you

about are the crafts. Crafters’ come from all over the United States to sell their hand made crafts here at the Apple Festival. The Apple Festival is hosted in the downtown Paintsville area with many attractions for people to enjoy.

The first Kentucky Apple Festival was held on October 6, 1962 and was known as “Apple Day.” It was guided by Elmon Davis, an officer at Citizens National Bank and apple orchard owner from Flat Gap. Davis not only created the festival to promote the county’s apple production, but to compete with the Johnson County Fair, which had been held annually since 1914. Eventually, the Kentucky Apple Festival became the more

popular of the two and the Johnson County Fair became nonexistent.

In Floyd County, a festival called the Jenny Wiley Festival is hosted each year. The Jenny Wiley Pioneer Festival is held the second weekend in October in Prestonsburg.

The Jenny Wiley Festival is a week of food, fun, free entertainment, arts and crafts and more. The Jenny Wiley Festival celebrates the brave pioneer spirit of the Appalachian settlers, Jenny Wiley, and others that endured a hard frontier life, yet, still moved forward and helped settle this land. The brave woman that the festival is named after is Jenny Wiley. Jenny Wiley was a legendary pioneer woman who was taken captive by native Americans in 1789.

Wiley endured the slaying of her brother and children and escaped after 11 months of captivity. Jenny Wiley State Resort Park in Prestonsburg, Kentucky is named in her honor.

One of the most interesting festivals on this list is hosted in Pike County.

Each year in downtown

Pikeville is Hillbilly Days.

Since 1977, Pike County has been celebrating Hillbilly Days. This nationally known annual event is a fundraiser to benefit the Shriners’ Children’s Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. Superior artists and craftspeople showcase their talents and sell their handiwork amidst mountain music, clogging and square dancing.

Men, women and children pick and grin while trying to outdo each other with their wild hillbilly outfits. Hillbilly Days was first founded in 1977 by a group of Shriners as a means to raise money for the Shriners Hospital. Two shriners from the Hillbilly Clan Outhouse No. 2, Howard “Dirty Ear” Stratton and “Shady” Grady Kinney, decided to start the festival in 1976 after visiting a festival in Portsmouth, Ohio. They got a group of shriners together and they began the festival in 1977. It has continued ever since. In 2011, this festival was able to raise $72,000 dollars for the Shriner’s Hospital. Over 100,000 people come once

a year to experience the event and the culture of Appalachia. Participants wear overalls and other rural attire while roaming the streets of Pikeville to help raise money for a cause. The planning committee for this festival usually starts meeting around September and then work on their plans each workday up until the festival begins in mid-April.

Hosted in Inez each year, Martin County throws a Harvest Festival. The 19th annual Martin County Harvest Festival is a twoday event that features music, crafts, games, and a variety of vendors. It’s organized by the Greater Martin County Kiwanis Club. Volunteers with the club use a portion of the proceeds to fill hundreds of Christmas food baskets annually for area families in need.

Finally, in Magoffin County, there is the Magoffin County Heritage Days Festival. The Festival offers young people opportunities to enter contests and win prize money for excelling in academic subjects such as math,

spelling, essay writing, and art. Pageants were held for young people from age one day to age 14 for boys and girls and for young women from age 17 to age 26. Entrants gained confidence and poise by speaking and/or performing before an audience.

The parade, drama, fashion shows, pet shows, clogging and other dance exhibitions, and specialty acts offered other opportunities for young people to perform before large appreciative audiences. Heritage Days began with the need to celebrate the regions migrants who made Appalachia home and the heritage that was created from living in these once harsh lands.

Most look to festivals for cotton candy, candy apples, the carnival and visiting with friends and family but taking time to get a closer look, we see the amazing history, culture and citizens that made eastern Kentucky and Appalachia their home and made us the strong, creative and enduring people of these mountains we call home.

Tinseltown Talks

By Nick Thomas

Betty Lynn keeping Mayberry alive ]It’s just after noon on the third Friday of the month, and 89-year-old Betty Lynn is preparing to take her seat behind a small brown table in the main room of the Andy Griffith Museum in Mount Airy, North Carolina.

Visitors are already beginning to flood into the 2,500-square-feet building to meet the actress best known to 60s TV fans as Barney Fife’s girlfriend, Thelma Lou, from “The Andy Griffith Show” set in the fictional town of Mayberry.

“Last month we had over

500 people come through,” says Lynn of the most recent one day a month she sits throughout the afternoon at the museum greeting fans. They come from all over the world to meet a former cast member of the popular show and to see the large collection of Andy Griffith memorabilia, assembled by Griffith’s life-long friend Emmett Forrest (see www.andygriffithmuseum.com).

In 2007, after being twice robbed in her Los Angeles home, Lynn left Hollywood for the quieter, more secure life in Mount

Airy, which was also Andy Griffith’s hometown.

“I’d been coming here for the Mayberry Days festival for ages, so it seemed like the perfect place to settle,” she said. The 26th Mayberry Days, hosted by the Surry Arts Council, runs each September (see www.surryarts.org).

“Everyone has been so kind since I moved here,” noted Lynn. “It didn’t take long for me to feel like a local rather than a visitor.”

“The Andy Griffith Show” ran for eight seasons, throughout most of the 1960s. It won six Em-

Betty Lynn at a 2013 appearance at the Andy Griffith Museum in Mount Airy, N.C mys, including five for Don Knotts.

“Andy was fun and a bit of a tease off camera, while Don was sweet but very quiet and nothing like his Barney Fife character,” recalled Lynn. “But that just illustrates what a good ac-

tor he was.”

While she loved the show, she did have one concern during her some two dozen appearances spread out over 5 years.

“If you had a uniform, like Andy or Don, the studio supplied those. But

I had to wear my own clothes and had to remember not to wear the same ones so people wouldn’t think Thelma Lou only had one outfit!”

Profits from the apple pie sales are split between the two organizations, with each then able to contribute to their partner charitable programs and projects.

Those visiting the Tom’s Creek Freewill Baptist Church’s family life center during pie production season will find a busy workplace.

quired to let us connect the just completed fountain, and, on my way to speak to the Chamber of Commerce at the Ramada Inn to raise money for the stone. Before I got there, the second plane had just crashed into the second tower. That year The Taste of the Mountains fundraiser was a disappointment. Many of our club members chose to attend other events. Fortunately, advance ticket sales and the annual stipend from the City of Paintsville of $2,000 left the club with enough money to fund all our projects for the coming year.

I was glad the work on the fountain was finished in time to fulfill the wish of the person whose idea it was, Mrs. Eula Perry Preston. Mrs. Preston later left wishes that the Jones and Preston hearse make a circle of the park on the way to carrying her to her final resting place. She did so love this little town and for thirty years served as leader of the Paintsville

ally send the soon-to-beshared pies to the oven.

With no one person ever making an entire pie alone, the secret to the delicious flavor and texture has been kept for years, as each group only sees the recipe for the stage of production they are working on.

The pies are sold exclusively at the Tom’s Creek church booth set up during festival days, or by telephone or specially placed order.

It’s a laborious endeavor but the church members say it is a “labor of love for their fellow man.”

You may order a fresh baked or frozen homemade apple pie by calling 297-6102 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., most days up until the start of the Apple Festival. Pies are $7 each and are available in sugar-free, as well.

Emogene Chandler, 93, prepares to place freshly assembled pies into ziplock bags for freezing.

Garden Club. Her projects and ability to get things done was the envy of every small town in the Limestone District of the Garden Clubs of Kentucky. Not many people ever knew this, but when I became Limestone Director I was told she was a well known force in the state organization.

The last ten years under her leadership, the Club’s annual budget for planting and maintaining city wide projects amounted to $6,000 a year with an annual City stipend of $2,000. The other $4,000 was raised through fundraisers like “The Taste O’ the Mountains,” and civicminded banks and businesses. When I would tell other Garden Club presidents how our city government helped us with maintenance and money they were astounded.

Every City of Paintsville mayor in my memory has been cooperative and helpful to the Paintsville Garden Club. And now the City of Paintsville and Mayor Bob Porter have taken over the full care and maintenance of the Preston Park fountain, as fundraisers suffi-

cient enough to maintain the fountain are no longer conducted.

Lots of repairs had to be made this year as the the last two winters have been brutal, but Joe Keaton, city maintenance supervisor, his crew, and a capable electrician by the name of Craig Welch, now have the fountain looking brand new. I can tell you, it makes me smile every time I drive down Broadway.

A young man who shall remain nameless told me a year or so ago that he considered the Preston Park fountain a landmark and that he had “soaped” it a couple of times as a teenager, creating millions of bubbles. I told him although I knew it would spoil his memory, the only thing the soap did was give the bowl a good bath. I told him I considered the soaping a rite of passage by Paintsville teenagers and that when the City adds blue to the water I think it’s great.

Although I am no longer a Paintsville Garden Club member, whomever is doing the flowers all over town deserves an “atta boy” because they look just great. And as annoying as all the street construction was this summer, it was worth all the inconvenience. The streets just look super, what a great improvement has been done. And getting rid of that hump at the intersection of Main and College alone was worth the mess and any inconvenience it may have caused.

That said, it is good to know that the Preston Park fountain is once again in good working order and ready to sparkle for this weekend’s upcoming 53rd Kentucky Apple Festival. I hope it continues to sparkle for generations to come.

Six reach pay dirt in JCHS rout of Boyd Staff Report Johnson Central entered last Friday night’s district matchup with Boyd County as overwhelming favorites. They did not disappoint as the Golden Eagles dismantled the Lions 59-12. Coach Jim Matney watched his team place six different players in the end zone for a total of eight rushing scores and a 43 yard field goal for the second score of the contest.

The Eagles opening offensive drive started off with Senior Bryce Skaggs getting the first touch with a five yard carry. Sophomore fullback Gunner Slone took the handoff on 2nd and 5 for a nine yard run giving the Golden Eagles a 1st down. With the Golden Eagles on their own 44 yard line Senior quarterback Bryce Workman complete a pass to Junior Tight End Noah Frisby for a 55 yard gain. Skaggs was the first to reach pay dirt as he scored on a one yard dive at the 10:28 mark in the first period. Senior Kicker Tyler Pack nailed

the PAT to put the Eagles up 7-0.

Boyd County’s defense stiffened placing the Golden Eagles in a 4th and long situation. Pack took advantage of the situation as he kicked a 43 yard field goal to increase the lead to 10-0.

Skaggs again reached the end zone with 3:07 left in the first on a 38 yard run.

Pack converted the PAT for a 17-0 advantage. Senior Jordan Bailey ended the first period as he crossed the goal line for a rushing score with 24 seconds left in the period. The first period score ended at 24-0 Golden Eagles.

In the second frame Senior Conner Ratliff reached the end zone for a 3 yard touchdown. Pack converted the PAT setting the half time score at 31-0.

The Lions broke free with 10:17 left in the third period for 66 yards and a touchdown. The two-point conversion failed with the score being 31-6. Skaggs reached the end zone for his third time at the 9:05 mark as he broke a 12 yard

run. Pack was good on the PAT increasing the lead 38-6. Boyd County would score again from 2 yards out at the 2:15 mark in the third cutting their deficit to 38-12. Their conversion attempt failed. Sophomore Tyrese Allen rounded out the third period scoring effort with a 2 yard run at the 1:11 mark. Pack’s kick was good allowing the Golden Eagles to take a 45-12 advantage into the fourth.

The fourth period seen two more scores with junior fullback Slone taking a 4 yard plunge for pay dirt and freshman running back Joe Jackson breaking a 3 yard run for the final score.

Pack converted the two PAT kicks closing the game out with a 59-12 score.

Johnson Central finished the contest with 397 rushing yards and 107 yards passing for a total offensive output of 504 yards.

Workman finished with 107 yards passing and 15 yards rushing. Allen lead all rushers with 85 yards and a touchdown, Ratliff had 81 yards rushing and

EAGLES, TIGERS topping state polls This may be a first.

Both Johnson County schools are getting the votes statewide in high school football.

The Paintsville Tigers, 6-0, are ranked number one in the most recent Associated Press poll in Class A. Johnson Central are ranked second in the Class 4A poll.

Paintsville coach Joe Chirico said they were excited about the ranking but it means nothing until they go out and win and perform on the field.

As the late Yogi Berra once said, “It’s deja vu all over again.”

This time in two instances.

First, Prestonsburg suffered its second tough beat in a row. And, second, it was to district rival Shelby Valley.

The Black cats home woes continued Friday night at Josh Francis Field as they fell to district rival Shelby Valley 12-7 in the pouring rain. The first win ever at Prestonsburg for the Wildcats.

It was the second straight week the Black cats lost a close one at home and third home loss of the season.

Hazard defeated Prestonsburg 34-32 last week and Pikeville won there in the season opener.

Shelby Valley took more control in a battle of field position throughout the first half. But they could not break the Prestonsburg defense.

The Blackcats’ first three possessions began on their own 20, 2 and 21 yard line, respectively.

The Wildcats began drives on their own 20 and then on the Blackcats’ 43 and 21.

But the score remained

scoreless until Bailey Slone found wide receiver Steven Little for a 47 yard strike giving Prestonsburg a 7-0 lead with 2:50 to play in the half.

Shelby Valley kept hurting itself with penalties.

They had one drive stalled that began at the Prestonsburg 26 yard line. But five penalties pushed them back.

Finally, a fumble by Kasey Tackett caused by Ryne Slone and recovered by Little stopped the drive.

Little followed with a big run across midfield to set up his TD catch from Bailey Slone.

Wesley Hager intercepted a Donavon Layne pass in the endzone to finish off the first half.

The Blackcats hurt themselves in the opening part of the second half. A bad snap while in shotgun got past Bailey Slone and Shelby Valley’s Chris Gunter fell on the football. Valley had the ball at the 33 yard line of the Blackcats.

Two plays later Chandler Rowe scored from 31 yards out to make it 7-6. The twopoint run was no good.

The game winning drive came in the fourth period and Shelby valley con-

Cakes from the 40s and 50s This cake winds up a series of three old recipe cakes remembered by many. This one had more to offer in connections than the previous two but all were preserved by the late Barbara Pugh, who in turn passed them on to me a few years ago.

The origin of this cake goes back to Gassaway, West Virginia, to one Mrs. Sponaugle, the mother of Mrs Elsie Jarvis. Many will remember Mrs.Jarvis from her years at Cox’s Department Store on Main and later at the S & S Shoe Store on Court Street in Paintsville. She was a fairly tall, thin woman who dressed impeccably and was an asset to all who employed her. Her son, Pete, was in men’s retail clothing in Prestonsburg and his wife Betty managed Leva’s Dress Shop, also in Prestonsburg and a sister store to our local Peggy Lou Shoppe in Paintsville.

In any case, I had so little to go on with this article I started looking for Betty Jarvis in the Floyd County telephone directory. Was I ever glad I got her on the first try. She not only knew the origins of the cake but was elated to learn I had the recipe that she had been searching for so many years. She said her motherin-law always baked this cake for her and for her son Pete’s birthday. She

said when Mrs. Jarvis first started baking this cake she used fresh churned butter in the cake. I am betting you that made a featherlight melt-in-your-mouth cake .. My thanks to Betty Jarvis, who is also warmly remembered by many female shoppers in Floyd and Johnson Counties.

Mrs. Jarvis’ white Virginia butter cake 3/4 pound unsalted butter 2 cups granulated sugar 6 egg whites 3 cups Swans Down cake flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup whole milk 2 teaspoons almond extr act 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Glaze 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 tablespoon whole milk 1 teaspoon almond extr act 1 1/2 cups powdered Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cream butter and sugar adding sugar slowly, Cream well. Add egg whites, one at a time, and beat thoroughly after each egg white is added. Sift flour and baking powder. Mix almond extract and vanilla with milk.

With mixer on low, slowly

begin alternating flour and milk mixture. Beginning with flour and ending with flour. Blend well Season tube cake pan with shortening, bottom and sides. Line the bottom of the pan with waxed paper then coat wax paper with shortening and dust lightly with flour. OR TAKE THE EASY EASY WAY OUT AND SPRAY THE INSIDE OF THE TUBE PAN WITH BAKERS FRIEND. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes in the middle rack of the oven.Remove when the sides of the cake pull away from the side of the tube pan. Invert onto a platter, and glaze while still warm.

To prepare glaze, combine butter, milk, and extract, and gradually add powdered sugar, beating by hand until it is barely pourable, and drizzle over top and sides of cake.

There it is, a cake fit for a birthday, light as a feather and ready for candles and a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Lynn continued from front

some 20 films and over 40 other TV shows, including many westerns.

“I enjoyed westerns, but filming in the hot Californian summers wearing long dresses and petticoats was rough,” she said. “During one show, I think it was ‘Texas John Slaughter’ for ‘Disneyland,’ we sat down to lunch and these huge bugs swarmed all around us. We were told to just ignore them and eat around them.”

Throughout her career, Lynn worked with some Hollywood greats.

“My first film, ‘Sitting Pretty,’ and then later

with a sprinkle or two for some color.

Done my good deed for the week. Resurrected a beloved birthday cake recipe that was always warmly received and made with love.

Tips for choosing the right apple for apple recipes Even the best bakers sometimes need a little tutorial on choosing the right apple for the right recipe application.. Ever stood before a gorgeous display of beautiful apples and wondered which one would make the best pie or fry up the best...or even bake without falling apart or turning out mealy and dry as a chip? Well, I happen to know the all purpose apple most people end up using is the Granny Smith, but if you want to get a better pie, try the Northern Spy. If you can’t find them in these parts, try a Golden Delicious. If you are looking for one that makes great applesauce, try a McIntosh. If you just want an apple to eat ‘Cheaper by the Dozen,’ were with Clifton Webb, a sweet man with a good sense of humor,” she recalled. “I also did two films with Bette Davis who got everyone to call me Boo, after one of my characters, so it wouldn’t be confusing when the director yelled ‘Betty on the set!’

She also worked, at one time or another, with almost all the cast of “Gilligan’s Island.”

“Alan Hale Jr. was on an episode of ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ and played a mountain man looking for a wife,” explained Lynn. “Recently, I saw the episode again, where he picked me way up in the air twice. I laughed because I looked like a rag doll.”

Lynn also remembers

raw, select a Honey Crisp. the lowly little Red JonaThe Gala makes a great than fries up the best of crisp Waldorf Salad. And them all, in my book. an episode with Barbara Eden.

“This was before she starred in ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ and she played a new manicurist in town and was adorable. Barbara was a guest at this year’s Mayberry Days.”

In addition to Eden, Clint Howard, Don Knotts’ daughter Karen, and other guests were expected for the five day event, that ran Sept. 23-27. “It’s always so much fun and one of the reasons I love living in the area.”

But on this day at the museum, Lynn braces for a long afternoon as enthusiastic fans are already forming the meet-and-greet line.

“It’s a little tiring by the end of the day, but it’s the

least I can do since people may stand for hours to take a picture, get an autograph or a hug,” says Lynn.

“There’s a lot of love coming my way.”
