Nursing students visit PBH Wound Healing Center Students in the Practical Nursing program at Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) visited the Paul B. Hall Regional Medical Center Wound Healing Center Jan. 12. “Wound management and perioperative nursing is very important,” Charlene Carroll, assistant professor of nursing at BSCTC said. “It is important that students see the practice of these methods of nursing in person and communicate with those working in the field.” For the past two years, all LPN program graduates have passed their Council Licensure Examination for Practical/Vocational Nurs-
es (NCLEX-PN) on their first try and all of them are employed. Monica Jervis, instructional specialist, also joined students on the trip. “Our nursing programs have provided our hospitals, physicians and other health care facilities with a steady flow of high skilled professionals,” said Myra Elliot, dean of academic affairs. “We are constantly reviewing trends and models to make sure we are providing the programs needed to keep quality health care close to home for the people of eastern Kentucky.” For more information, contact Carroll at (606) 788-2801 or email charlene.carroll@kctcs.edu.

Opinion The Paintsville Plaza: What a difference a quarter-century makes By Ryan S. Pack As I was driving to pick up my son from work in the plaza on a recent Friday night, I was suddenly aware that something felt “off.” You know, that tingling sensation you get on the nape of your neck just before being mauled by a bear. I immediately checked the back seat for any ursine attackers, but there were none to be found. Which is probably for the best, as I drive a Hyundai Tucson, and a bear would have considerable difficulty with the leg room in the back seat. Maybe if he folded the back seat down into the back hatch … but never mind, that’s not important. As I was saying, I had that “off” feeling, a feeling that intensified the longer I drove through the empty plaza. It was then that it struck me, like a Zeus-hurled lightning bolt
(which would have simply ruined the resale value of my Tucson). It was Friday night! The weekend was here! And yet the plaza was quite nearly devoid of vehicles, let alone vehicles full of teenagers, peeling the rubber off their tires and screaming like the hordes of Genghis Khan. “What madness is this?,” I thought. Why was this place, once so full of sound and humanity on a Friday night, now so empty and desolate, like Chernobyl in deep winter? I hearkened back to the days of my tenure at Johnson Central High School in the year 1991. Yes, I know, that was a long time ago and I am an old man, let it go. But running the risk of making an old man’s statement, back in my day that plaza would have been filled to capacity. Every human being in Johnson County between the ages
of sixteen and twenty would have been present. The plaza was the place we all met, be it to figure out our next destination, to settle rivalries with our adversaries (an event that grew exponentially the closer to the Apple Bowl we got, as the JCHS and Paintsville students would drive by each other, goading and taunting until someone kicked someone else in the gluteus), or to ply our rather pitiful wiles on the girls there. As I sat staring around me at the empty parking lots, my vehicle coasting unheeded to a slow stop, I wondered what had happened to all the young people that used to populate this place. I knew that there hadn’t been a mass kidnapping of all our children by the Pied Piper, since I had seen a teeming mass of them leaving school earlier that day when I dropped
my son off at work. So what was going on? Had there been a gas leak? Was there a dragon that had taken residence on one of the buildings overlooking the plaza? (At this thought, the car began to move again, seemingly of its own volition.) Where were the children? Confused, worried, and still on the look-out for any dragons (or bears, I have a lot of room in the back of my vehicle when the seat is let down), I pulled into my son’s place of employment and watched as he told his co-workers goodnight, and headed to the car. Before he had even cleared the doorway, he was on his smartphone, texting, Facebooking, Skyping, emailing, YouTubing, internet browsing, and for all I know, possibly making an actual phone call. I believe the smartphones still do that. It’s right in the name,
anyway. It was then that I had an epiphany. Well, I had a pretty severe muscle spasm in my left foot first, but it was immediately followed by an epiphany. (Thank heavens my Tucson isn’t a standard transmission, or I would have shoved the clutch through the floorboard and startled the bear in my back seat. Or the dragon. Whatever.) The children weren’t missing, they were at home. They were not burning costly fossil fuel driving in useless squares around the plaza and hurling insults at their rivals and flirting with the opposite sex because they were doing all of that from the comfort of their own beds, using the miracle of wireless technology to do it. Well, I imagine they weren’t burning costly fossil fuels, at any rate. And so it has come to thus. In the space of a mere
twenty-five years, a place once so full you could have crowd-surfed from one end to the other without ever touching ground was devoid of human life. The teeming masses have dispersed (much to the joy of the Paintsville Police Department, I imagine), now all safely ensconced in their homes, reduced to a flurry of electronic activity now floating over my head in invisible waves. I imagine that the shops of the plaza must have felt a significant economic impact with the departure of all those possible consumers. Then again, they’re probably just ordering everything from the store’s websites. I hate getting old. And the dragon isn’t too pleased with all the electronic interference, I imagine. C’est la vie.
Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington
Gasoline Prices Notice the price of gasoline at the pump lately? Yeah, it is down.....way down from its $4.00 per gallon plus peak from a few years back. In fact it is back down to a respectable 2001 level. Personally, I think we will see it take a big drop again and it is possible we will see some Reagan era pump prices in the next two years. I am thinking a level out of around 85 to 95
cents will be common and there are reasons for that. Huge domestic production in the Bakkan Valley of North Dakota turned the tables on the Arabs who are far too busy killing Americans and collecting on their promise of 72 virgins to worry about trivial things like oil production. That increased demand and price overseas and drove prices down here at home.
Now we have the Iranians back in production after their buddy, the American President, lifted sanctions against them and allowed them to begin shipping out a half million barrels of oil per day and promising to turn production up to two million barrels per day. The idea behind this being to wrest control of the oil markets from the evil Americans and return it to them and their oil-rich neighbors while convincing the American people that Republicans and oil company executives are to blame. Business as usual at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Now when do you ever know of a real American settling for being outdone at anything? Oil prices are set to rise again due to growing foreign demand, which could set the stage for another
American oil boom built on the infrastructure of the first fracking boom and something new on the horizon (and possibly good for certain areas of Kentucky) is the emergence of technology that makes extraction of oil from oil bearing shale a more efficient process. Combine such the breakthroughs with discoveries of huge new oil deposits in Western North Dakota located just below the Bakken formation in the Three Forks-Sanish formation where about 2 billion barrels of recoverable crude is sandwiched between layers of shale about 2 miles from the surface and now the stage is set to keep pump prices where we like to see them. So yeah, there are going to be some ups and downs, we will still see some places charging a bit north of two bucks per gallon but it
is encouraging for us poor consumers that gas prices hit an unheard of low at the pump in one Michigan town just last week of 47 cents per gallon ..... we are talking gas prices that people were paying when LBJ was still President and they are coming to a convenience store near you. I would not be me nor would this be my column if something did not remind me of an amusing story: My Dad loved the big cars of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Massive Cadillac and Lincoln land yachts powered by 500 cubic inch and 460 cubic inch engines that were fed by massive four barrel carburetors whose fuel economy was measured in dinosaurs consumed per mile. Dad was a longtime political crony and business associate of maverick politician and former firebrand Kentucky Governor A.B. “Happy”

I am riding in the back seat of Dad’s 1975 Cadillac Eldorado and Dad whips into a gas station momentarily, only to look at the sign and whip back out onto the road while shaking his head, cursing and muttering inwardly: “I will be damned if I will ever pay 60 cents per gallon for gasoline!”

Lady Tigers earn pair of ‘really good wins’ The Paintsville Lady Tigers earned two big wins last week. The first came against visiting East Ridge by a 62-57 margin Wednesday night. Swoop Williams led the way with 21 points. Presley Chirico, playing through nagging injuries, scored 15 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Anna Keeton 10 points. Abby James contributed
with 9 points and 7 rebounds. The Lady Tigers 32-31 at halftime and the game was tied at 46-46 heading into the final period. East Ridge scored the first five points of the fourth period and the Lady Tigers ended the scoring drought at the 5:00 minute mark. The Lady Tigers trailed 5550 with three minutes to go. What the Lady Tigers were not so good at in the
first half gave them the opportunity to get back in the game late. Williams connected on four straight free throws and then hit a running layup to give Paintsville a 56-55 lead with a minute to play. The Lady Warriors kept turning the ball over against the Lady Tiger press and they kept missing long jump shots and the Lady Tigers kept hitting late foul shots to seal the win.
Keeton hit a pair of free throws and James hit a pair in the closing seconds. Katelyn Fitch scored five points and Sonia Williams had two. The Lady Tigers hit 28 of 44 foul shots including 2 of 9 three pointers. Two days later the Lady Tigers put themselves in the district seeding race with a 63-62 win over visiting Magoffin County Friday night.
“It was a pair of really good wins for us,” said Paintsville coach Mark Baldwin. “We hadn’t beaten a team with a winning record and then to get a district win was huge for us moving forward. We had been competitive but just had not won those close ones.” The Lady Hornets were coming off a home win over Johnson Central. The win pushed the Lady
Tigers to 1-2 in the district with Sheldon Clark to play twice and a road game with Johnson Central Feb. 12. The Lady Hornets are now 3-1 and Johnson Central is 3-1 after a win over Sheldon Clark Friday (0-3). The Lady Tigers host Jenkins tonight.

The number one seed in the boys and girls basketball standings in the 57th District is becoming clearer as teams play their final games this season. Magoffin County took a step closer in both boys and girls last Thursday night as they swept both games in Salyersville. In the first game, the Lady Hornets came back from a 16 point deficit to claim a narrow 54-52 win over the Lady Eagles. The game came down to free throws- missing and hitting them for Magoffin County. With the Lady Eagles up one, Jazzy Howard was fouled. She made the first foul shot to tie the game then got her own rebound on second shot she missed and got fouled again. With the game, tied both free throws miss but Howard
got the ball back again and got fouled. This time she made both to put Magoffin ahead. The Lady Eagles bounced back Friday to beat visiting Sheldon Clark 56-20 in a game that used a running clock. The Lady Eagles host Paintsville on Feb. 12 to end district play. In the boys game, Magoffin County avenged an earlier loss with a 75-65 win over the Golden Eagles. The game was fairly tight throughout but the Hornets took a five point lead after three and held on with free throws and drives to the basket for layups. Trenton Russell led Magoffin County with 32 points. Jaron Lovely added 14. Tyler Pack had a double double for Johnson Central with 13 points and 13 rebounds.
Mason Blair finished with 18 points and Cole Crace scored 12. Luke Vance added 10 points and Jacob Rice scored 9. Josh Hitchcock had 3 points. The Golden Eagles shot 34 percent at 21 of 61 including 8 of 27 three-pointers. They hit 15 of 24 foul shots. Magoffin County shot 42 percent hitting 27 of 64 and 14 of 21 free throws.

Tigers pick up district win; fall short to Wolves at home The Paintsville Tigers have split a pair of games since the wake of the snowstorm caused the team a week from games. The Tigers lost at home to Wolfe County last Tuesday night by a 79-71 score. It was a game marred by fouls especially in the first half as Paintsville had three players with three and two
with a couple fouls. Wolfe County led 18-10 after one period and led 4028 at half as they drained a three-pointer at the buzzer. Paintsville would battle back a couple times and got within two at 65-63 with five minutes left and 73-70 with under a minute to go. However, Wolfe County
was money when they needed points especially foul shots (8-8 down the stretch) as they went on to win and up their record to 15-6. Paintsville fell to 5-11 at the time. Paintsville was led in scoring by Darrin Morris with 20 points. Chris Allen scored 14 and Seth Williams netted 13. James Al-
len and Luke Trimble had 7 each while Tanner Smith scored 4 and Ryan Murray and Ryan Maynard scored 3 each. The Wolves had four players reach double figures led by Deven Stone with 26 points. David Spencer added 15. Wolfe County shot 55 percent from the field hit-
ting 23 of 42 field goals compared to 35 percent for the Tigers at 23 for 66 shots. The Tigers were outrebounded 35-28 but had just 8 turnovers. The Wolves had 20 turnovers. The Tigers, now 6-11, won at Warfield Thursday night by defeated district rival Sheldon Clark 67-60.

Lifestyles The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley
Diane’s donut revival Wayne and I ran into his uncle Steve and his wife, Diane, at Tractor Supply not long ago. We stood and talked for almost an hour. Wayne and Steve were talking about things along the lines of hot rods, fishing and growing tomatoes. Diane and I talked about all of our favorite foods. We went from talking about how we fry our green tomatoes to bringing stale donuts “back to life.” I didn’t know it was possible
to revive stale donuts, for the simple fact that we don’t let donuts go bad around our house. They don’t stand a chance and to be honest, I had never even come in contact with a stale donut. Diane told me, “Never throw out a donut. They’re even better after you let them get stale and do this to them.” I was suckered in and hanging on her every word. How on earth does a donut get better than just simply
being itself: a donut? She explained to me the simple process of how she revives them. She told me I had to make sure I tried it. I promised her I would try the donut revival if I could fight off my donut devouring tendencies and let a donut last until it actually became stale. While Diane was giving me the step-by-step, Steve chimed in and said they let donuts go stale on purpose just to do this to them and that he likes them better revived than when they’re fresh. Well, guess what, people. I did it and I have to agree with Steve on this one. They’re delicious and well worth the wait to allow them to get stale. It turns your normal bakery donut into something that tastes like it’s from a state fair. Here’s how you do it: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Melt enough butter that it coats the doughnut’s faces when you lay them down in the
