The benefits of houseplants Who doesn’t like cut flowers? They are so pretty, smell good, and brighten up any space they occupy.

However, they last a few weeks, if you’re lucky.

House plants are the way to go to liven up your home year round. You don’t even have to be a master gardener to get them to thrive indoors. Many people advocate for house plants because they are good for your health. Scientists have shown how plants clean and filter the air in our homes, as well as offices.

House plants can filter and clean the air of various emissions that are harmful to humans. Research by Wolverton and Plants for Clean Air Council (PAC) showed house plants could also filter out certain waste products by humans. They release phytochemicals which are a natural repellent used to protect themselves from attack and infection. Below are other reasons for including plants in your living space.

Plants increase humidity in rooms. House plants could also be seen as organic antibacterial and

living humidifiers. If you are a person who finds dry winter air irritating to your nose and throat, try placing more plants in your living and working spaces. While being natural humidifiers, plants could also reduce the chances of colds by 30% by decreasing dust in your living areas. Exposing children to plants and other allergens helps them build a tolerance and immunity to that allergen.

If you’re looking to buy indoor plants, asses lighting within your home. Research the types of plants that grow well indoors and decide how much maintenance you can handle.

Lowes, Walmart, and other home improvement stores sell a variety of plants that offer different flowers, fragrances, and looks for your home. You’ll realize soon how much better you’ll feel after introducing plants into your living or work space. This is because plants make you feel calmer and more optimistic. What a great way to spend your money and time than improving your mental health and wellbeing.

The Johnson County Public Library and Thompson Photography are partnering to present a three-part series Basic Photography class to be held at the Johnson County Public Library. Classes will take place on Tuesdays, March 8, 15 and 22 from 6-7:30 p.m.

In this Basic Photography series local photographer Shawn Thompson will share basic camera functions, indoor and outdoor lighting, lenses, trick photography, composition, flash photography, white balance, night photography, Lightroom and Photoshop, and much more. You will need to bring your camera or smartphone.

Shawn has been sharing his passion in photography for over 40 years. His work has been recognized over the years by the Professional Photographers of America and the Ohio

Photographers Society.

He earned a degree in Portrait Photography from the Ohio Institute of Photography, where he studied under some of the nation’s top photographers. Since graduating from the Ohio Institute almost 30 years ago he has continued to work on the craft of photography by attending many lectures and classes.

“While photography has changed considerably over the past 40 years and continues to grow and change, the foundation has, and will always be, composition and light,” Thompson said.

This program is free, open to the public, and class size is limited. Participants will need to be able to attend all three classes in order to register.

For more information and to register, call the Johnson County Public Library at 606-789-4355.

About peanut butter Peanut butter is a nutritious food that can be served in sandwiches, as a dip or as an ingredient for flavorful sauces. Peanut butter also can be enjoyed by the spoonful right out of the container. Peanut plants are rather interesting. Unlike many plants, the peanut flowers form above ground, but the fruit — the peanuts — grow below the soil by the roots.

Peanuts do not grow on

trees and really aren’t nuts at all. They’re actually legumes. The National Peanut Board says that it takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter. The world’s largest peanut butter factory can produce 25,000 jars each day. That means millions of peanuts must be harvested and transformed to create those delicious jars of creamy and crunchy peanut butter.

Opinion

Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington

The Next Generation You know the one’s …. those video game playing, non-cursive writing, new math doing cyborgs who occasionally haunt the back rooms of our homes or show up at Christmastime with a car full of dirty laundry and a

need for money. Yeah …. those guys. The ones we are afraid of turning over the keys to the nation to, as if they could do a worse job of messing up than us boomers and Gen-X’rs.

But one has to wonder when it becomes apparent

Student Essays By Sydney Becknell Pop art is now most associated with the work of New York artists of the early 1960s such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenburg, but artists who drew on popular imagery were part of an international phenomenon in various cities from the mid-1950s onwards. Following the popularity of the Abstract Expressionists, Pop’s reintroduction

of identifiable imagery (drawn from mass media and popular culture) was a major shift for the direction of modernism. The subject matter became far from traditional “high art” themes of morality, mythology, and classic history; rather, Pop artists celebrated commonplace objects and people of everyday life, in this way seeking to elevate popular culture to the level of fine

that they cannot tie a knot, read a compass or open a pocket knife, just what the future holds for the millions who know only how to manipulate a controller or a smart phone?

I think they will be fine.

I recently went to meet my girlfriend’s son for supper during Christmas break from his graduate school classes at Morehead and I have to say I was impressed. He looked me in the eye and shook my hand like a man. His manners were impeccable and he carried on an engaging and intelligent conversation throughout our meal. I could see the pride in her eyes as she looked at him and her feelings were completely justified because

he is really on top of his game. In a town full of college kids who have grown up seeing their friends and siblings off to war, I came to believe that maybe there is hope for this nation in the generation to come because, surprise, they are actually an ambitious lot.

That is not to say that they have it all together, they still need some moral direction and guidance to fully develop their values and probably need some parental influence to wash away some of the silliness they pick up in college, but they are getting it together and that pleases me very much.

We left dinner that evening and headed home.

She was smiling and going on and on about how hard he had worked in school and how far he had come.

He was an impressive and engaging figure until we parted and I had to admit myself that he was quite a young man.

By comparison, I came home to my own kids, all of whom I am very proud.

My daughter is a full time worker, entrepreneur, college student and Mommy.

How the heck does she do all of that?

My tall and broad-shouldered son is a good looking young man who is coming into his own. He is sarcastically witty and a bit of a class clown (he must get that from his mom) but even though he spends a

lot of time with a game controller in hand, he is an intelligent young man and if I am any judge of things, he will turn out just fine.

There is also a young man my ex-wife and I took in and raised throughout his formative years and he turned out to be a fine young husband, father, provider and Christian leader of his family.

All of that makes me smile. I may not be rich, but by heck I have been successful and with kids like all of these taking the reins, as I said, I think that our tomorrows are going to be just fine.

Pop Art art. Perhaps owing to the incorporation of commercial images, Pop art has become one of the most recognizable styles of modern art.

By creating paintings or sculptures of mass culture objects and media stars, the Pop art movement aimed to blur the boundaries between “high” art and “low” culture. The concept that there is no hierarchy of culture and that art may borrow from any source has been one of the most influential characteristics of Pop art.

It could be argued that the Abstract Expressionists searched for trauma in the soul, while Pop artists

searched for traces of the same trauma in the mediated world of advertising, cartoons, and popular imagery at large. But it is perhaps more precise to say that Pop artists were the first to recognize that there is no unmediated access to anything, be it the soul, the natural world, or the built environment. Pop artists believed everything is inter-connected, and therefore sought to make those connections literal in their artwork.

Although Pop art encompasses a wide variety of work with very different attitudes and postures, much of it is somewhat emotionally removed. In contrast to

the “hot” expression of the gestural abstraction that preceded it, Pop art is generally “coolly” ambivalent.

Whether this suggests an acceptance of the popular world or a shocked withdrawal, has been the subject of much debate.

Pop artists seemingly embraced the post-WWII manufacturing and media boom. Some critics have cited the Pop art choice of imagery as an enthusiastic endorsement of the capitalist market and the goods it circulated, while others have noted an element of cultural critique in the Pop artists’ elevation of the everyday to high art: tying the commodity status of

the goods represented to the status of the art object itself, emphasizing art’s place as, at base, a commodity.

The majority of Pop artists began their careers in commercial art: Andy Warhol was a highly successful magazine illustrator and graphic designer; Ed Ruscha was also a graphic designer, and James Rosenquist started his career as a billboard painter. Their background in the commercial art world trained them in the visual vocabulary of mass culture as well as the techniques to seamlessly merge the realms of high art and popular culture.

Angles and Cues By Carolyn Schwartz

Comfort in a Sandwich Sometimes the restaurant menu pulls me in many directions.

A salad? That would be a healthy choice. Soup? I love soup whether it is summer or winter. Something new or different? I do enjoy trying new things.

Once in awhile I just have to order a hot brown sandwich. I know, I know. It is packed full of carbs and calories. I don’t eat one very often consider that, please.

If you’ve never had a hot brown, it’s a confection of turkey, bacon, Mornay sauce, cheese, tomato, ham - well, those are the typical ingredients. There are several other variations these days.

It’s an interesting story, this creation of the hot brown. During the 1920s the Brown Hotel in Louisville hosted a dinner dance every evening.

They drew about 1,200 every night.

Unbelievable, don’t you think?

The evening’s entertainment lasted until the wee hours of the morning, and, of course, just like us, those dancers were hungry and needed a snack. It seems that the most common late night/early morning offering from the hotel’s chef was ham and eggs.

Tired of that routine, Fred Schmidt,

a Brown Hotel employee, created a variation of Welsh rarebit as an alternative. From Wales, this recipe called for melted cheese to be heated and poured hot over toasted bread.

Of course, this was a knife and fork meal. Flavorings could be added to the cheese such as mustard or cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

Schmidt used turkey in the hot brown. This was unusual since most people only ate turkey during the holidays. He placed the slice of turkey on a slice of white bread, added Mornay sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and oven-broiled the creation until the sauce bubbled.

Mornay sauce uses butter and flour to make a roux. Whipping cream and Pecorino Romano cheese are then added. The sauce is finished when it thickens.

Schmidt then topped the sandwich with pimento and bacon strips.

Most of the hot browns that I have had include ham and often are topped with a slice of tomato. They are creamy and cheesy and could be placed in a column headed comfort food as far as I am concerned.

How can you go wrong with bacon and cheese - and tomato - and Mornay sauce? At least once in awhile.

“We mayCFSP add some serial procedural aspects with season two and three, but we’re planning on sticking with the core plot that we start with season one and having that carry the rest of the show for however long we continue it. For me, I would love to do five seasons, as that seems like the best amount for storytelling purposes, but we’ll see how the story looks after the end of season two.”

Golden Eagles fall to Dawgs in OT Played third extra period game in last four contests

Timmy Dalton was the downfall for Johnson Central in their 93-84 loss (Sat. Feb. 6) to host Lawrence County, especially in overtime.

Dalton had a total of 33 points including seven points in the extra frame.

It was the third overtime game in the Golden Eagles’ last four contests losing two of the three.

The Dawgs hadn’t beat Central in five games.

Mason Blair hit eight triples on his way to 36 points.

He hit four treys in the second period to help turn a nine point deficit to a 3737 halftime tie.

Blair gave Central a six point lead late in the game but the Dawgs went on a 14-8 run to leave the game tied at 80-80 apiece.

Brandon Richardson sparked the OT spurt with a trey that put the Dawgs up, 83-82.

The Golden Eagles went ice cold in the overtime scoring the first two points and only getting two more points the rest of the way.

Johnson Central (1310)?lost 6-foot-4 senior Tyler Pack at the 1:26 mark of the fourth following a controversial fifth foul.

Officials conferred with scorekeepers, and while Johnson Central’s side had Pack with just four fouls, the official book indicated he had committed five.

Pack exited with 16 points on 8-of-9 shooting and six boards.

“It changed the way we wanted to play,” JCHS coach Tommy McKenzie said. “Tyler, he’s strong, sets good solid screens. He was zoned in, rolling hard to the basket. He was demanding the ball.”

Cole Crace contributed 17 points.

Austin Chaffins splashed

in a team-best five 3s for the Bulldogs. He had 19 points. Richardson scored 15, and Kiser 14. Robert Dalton scored 11 points fewer than his average of 18, but he pulled down 12 rebounds.

The Golden Eagles shot 54 percent from the field but just 40 percent from the foul line.

The Dawgs got 15 points from Richardson and 14 from Grant Kiser.

The Dawgs hit 45 percent from the field but 72 percent from the line.

“We wanted this to be a statement game,” Lawrence County coach Travis York said. “It may have been them (JC) that made the statement that we can be beat. We will see how we emerge from here.”

Lawrence County remains unbeaten in region play, at 8-0.

Sports Briefs Hawks do a 180 on Golden Eagles; Central bounces back to beat Ashland On Jan. 4 the Johnson Central Golden Eagles went to Pike Central and won 71-43.

Forward to Feb. 9: Pike Central comes to Johnson Central and wins 78-52.

Central leading scorer Mason Blair was held scoreless missing six field goals including four threes. The Hawks led 60-30 at one point as JC starters were pulled early. Cole Crace scored nine points. The Hawks had four players in double figures led by Teddy Smith with 20 points.

The Golden Eagles bounced back at home and beat Ashland last Thursday 59-48 to run their record to 14-11. Blair scored 28 points on 8 of 16 shooting.

Crace had 12 points.

Lawrence boys 10-0 in region play The Dawgs won games over Belfry 74-58 and Phelps 94-43 to go to 23-4 overall including a perfect 10-0 in region play and 6-0 in the 60th District. They will face Phelps in the district tournament at Belfry which starts Feb. 22.

The Golden Eagles defeated Russell, Ashland and Boyd County to take the tournament.

35th Freshman AIT: Central makes it different story

by Matthew Sparks After an early exit last season, Johnson Central coach Eddie Blair said this year’s team was determined to make the most of their return trip to the freshman Ashland Invitational Tournament.

The Golden Eagles fended off several Boyd County rallies in the second half to defeat the Lions, 56-53, for the championship on Thursday night at Alumni Gym. “We played in this tournament last year and got beat in the first round,” Blair said. “I’ve had them excited since the first of the year about it and told them that this was something to look forward to. This tournament has been around a long time. There is a lot of history in the old gym.

I had them focused on this the whole year.”

After two Boyd County free throws tied the contest for the ninth time, Johnson Central rattled off nine straight points to take a 4738 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Grant Davis’ layup and a driving bucket by Gabe Ferrell finished off the spurt.

The Lions (17-2) responded with a 9-1 run to snare the lead right back.

Talbot Taylor had seven points during the stretch.

“I just told them it was now or never,” Boyd County coach Joey Gilbert said of his team’s response.

“We have to get up and we have to guard it. Defensively, we are really good if we talk. I just told them it was gut-check time. We have worked all year for this moment. They answered the bell. We just ran out of time. All the credit goes to

the kids. They played their guts out.”

Ferrell followed with an and-1 and the Golden Eagles (13-2) hit their free throws in the final minute to seal it. Boyd County had one last attempt to tie, but the 3-point shot bounced off the rim.

“We watched Boyd County (in the semifinals),” Blair said. “It was the first time we have seen them this year. I was really worried about them. ... Our bunch of freshman, they are pretty raw. They are still developing and they are real emotional.

But they did a good job in the end handling the pressure and hit some big free throws down the stretch.”

Ferrell lead the Golden Eagles with 17 points. Davis added 14 and Kenyon Crum had 12. Blair said all eight players on the roster cracked the scoring column during the tournament.

“We have got good balance with this group,” Blair said.

Boyd County’s Blake Stewart came out firing in the second half. He connected on three straight triples to begin the Lions’ scoring in the third quarter.

Stewart tallied a gamehigh 20 points. Taylor recorded 15 and Landon Meade tacked on eight.

“Blake has done that all year for this freshman team,” Gilbert said. “Blake gets going and the other kids feed off of it. Blake just works so hard and puts in so much time. Everything he gets, he earns. He is going to be a great player. He hit some big shots.

“Talbot came down a hit a big shot. I thought B.B. Layne and Landon Meade

really battled along with Jonathon Hicks. I am proud of the effort they gave.”

In the consolation game, Ashland defeated Cabell Midland, 46-45, on a 3-point buzzer beater by Hunter Mays. Russell Rogers led the Tomcats with 14 points. Mays added nine.

More meat free meals selections Come late winter, diners may notice more meatfree selections available on restaurant menus. That’s thanks to the Lenten season that precedes Easter Sunday. During Lent, Christians traditionally abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Lent is an ideal time for men and women

looking to get healthier to include more vegetables, whole grains and seafood in their diets. Try substituting ground beef with tofu, and incorporate vegetables where meat may be used.

For example, layer lasagna with slices of zucchini instead of filling it with sausage. Plus, eat more fish.

Research shows that fish high in omega-3 fatty acids decreases the risk of abnormal heartbeats, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Omega-3 fatty acids also decrease triglyceride levels, slow the growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque and lower blood pressure.

Lifestyles The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley

Break up winter blahs with summertime appetizer I’m not a fan of summertime weather, but I’m a big fan of summertime food. Fresh garden food is one thing I miss majorly in the winter. The great thing about summertime food is that you can get it from a friend, family member or even your own backyard.

Of course, you can get produce at grocery stores, but we all know it isn’t the same as pulling it fresh from a garden.

In this week’s recipe, I

have fried zucchini rounds until golden brown after they’ve had a buttermilk bath and then been rolled around in cornmeal. I love frying things in cornmeal.

The texture that it gives the vegetable is so crisp and delicious. Just so ya’ll know, if you’re not into zucchini, you can fry pickle chips and green tomatoes with this same recipe. The dipping sauce I paired with this is also great with each of those things.

Crispy Zucchini Chips Zucchini cornmeal buttermilk salt & pepper vegetable oil Heat your skillet over medium-high heat with just enough oil to come up halfway on your zucchini chips.

Slice your zucchini into rounds, carefully using a sharp knife. Give the rounds a buttermilk bath. I used a pie plate to do this. I think it’s the perfect depth and width to give them a quick soak. Let them sit about 3-5 minutes in the buttermilk.

Prepare your cornmeal mix.

Add cornmeal, salt & pepper and combine with a fork. Have your cornmeal mixture close and start breading the chips; flipping back and forth until both sides are coated. Place in hot oil. Do not move them around. Once placed in oil, let fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until crispy and brown. I didn’t fry them all at once. I did them in batches. While one batch fried, I battered an-

Hot, crispy zucchini rounds with sweet dill sauce can help tide you over until summer comes with fresh garden produce other batch. Use a fork to flip chips and to place on a paper towel when done.

The paper towel helps absorb excess oil and keeps the chips from being soggy.

Trends among mom food shoppers Comparison shopping is a way of life for many consumers. In an effort to save a few dollars here and there, shoppers take many routes to get a deal, including utilizing some digital help.

A recent report shows women, and mothers in particular, are increasingly turning to social media and store Web sites as a means to making food shopping decisions. According to the report “Moms as Food Shoppers: Grocery Store and Supercenter Patterns and Trends,” which was produced by Packaged Facts from data compiled by the Experian Simmons National Consumer Study, mothers are 43 percent more likely to go online to gather coupons and 38 percent more likely than other shoppers to look at store Web sites.

Mothers also are using social media and store Web sites to plan their grocery store trips. They will scope out which stores are offering particular sales and plan shopping routes accordingly. With so many people relying on smartphones for myriad reasons, comparison shopping between stores and checking sales and coupons are a few other reasons women are turning to their phones.

The number of apps that are geared to food shopping and meal preparation have increased in response to this developing trend.

Several shopping list apps, such as Grocery IQ, Green Grocer, Shopper, and Grocery Gadget, have grown increasingly popular over the years. Some of these apps are integrated with major retailers and can use GPS positioning to match shoppers up with a nearby store.

Some Web sites even make it easier for shoppers to prepare their favorite recipes. Certain recipe sites enable consumers to create a shopping list with a click of the mouse so that all of the necessary ingredients can quickly be added to a shopping list.

In addition to identifying that Web site food browsing is an important component of the shopping process for many moms, the Experian study narrowed down some other preferences. * Organic foods: Thirtyone percent of moms now desire organic/natural foods, but not necessarily locally grown foods. * Convenience foods are still popular. Mothers are more inclined than others to use convenience foods, such as frozen waffles, pancakes, and complete packaged dinner mixes.

Snacks and desserts are also bought and consumed in high volumes in family households. * Store brands: Moms are interested in value and will purchase store brands to save money.

The Internet and social media has changed the way people shop and is also affecting how many women purchase foods for their families.

The right dietary choices can not only improve your health but the environment as well. But urbanization and increasingly busy schedules force many people to seek the most convenient, and not necessarily the healthiest, foods.

The growing reliance on processed foods may be hurting humans and the planet they call home.

Processed foods tend to be loaded with starches and preservatives, increasing consumers’ risk of diabetes and being obese. In addition, many prepackaged foods are shipped from faraway processing plants, and vast amounts of fuel must be consumed for products to get from those plants to local grocery stores.

But subtle shifts in di-

etary habits and trends can decrease mortality rates and reduce global greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production.

Adopting alternative diets that feature a higher ratio of fish, whole grains and locally grown produce can greatly reduce an individual’s carbon footprint.

The “New Nordic Diet” is one example of a growing dietary trend that has the potential to improve the health of humans and the environment. So says Henrik Saxe, an associate professor who specializes in sustainability at Copenhagen University.

Researchers found a reduction in greenhouse gases of at least 6 percent with the New Nordic Diet, as compared to typical diets in Denmark.

The following are a few ways average men and women can eat to promote their own health while simultaneously protecting the environment.

• Adopt climate-friendly eating habits that rely on more domestic, in-season foods.

• Cut down on meat consumption.

• Eat organic foods as much as possible.

• Avoid seafood harvested from fish farms which can negatively impact your own health and marine life.

• Grow your own fruits and vegetables.

• Shop at local markets that support nearby farms and farmer’s markets.

• Purchase products with the least amount of packaging.

Specialty license plate honors ultimate sacrifice Individuals whose siblings have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces may now apply for a Gold Star Sibling license plate thanks, in part, to legislation passed in the 2015 Regular Session of the General Assembly.

House Bill 209, which passed both chambers unanimously, expands the Gold Star plate eligibility to siblings of fallen heroes.

Until this legislation, only parents and spouses of the deceased were entitled to apply.

“We honor our fallen heroes by taking care of the loved ones they leave behind,” said Gov. Matt Bevin, a U.S. Army veteran. “The Gold Star Sibling license plate reminds us of the sacrifice of the entire family. I would ask all Kentuckians to show proper respect and gratitude to those who display Gold Star license plates.”

“We can never thank these families enough for their sacrifice,” said Lt. Gov. Jenean Hampton, a U.S. Air Force veteran.

“What a tremendous tribute to our fallen heroes to allow siblings to honor their loved ones with this specialty plate.”

“We are grateful to the

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for helping us develop and offer a license plate that recognizes our Kentucky Gold Star Siblings. We encourage everyone who sees a vehicle with one of these plates to take a moment to think about the sacrifice made for our country,” said Heather French Henry, commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs (KDVA).

“I am honored to have sponsored HB 209, which allows a person whose sibling died while serving the country in the United States Armed Forces, to pay special tribute to his/ her sibling by purchasing a Gold Star Sibling license plate. A constituent brought this to my attention, and the bill’s co-sponsor, Former Representative Tanya Pullin and I had 100 percent bipartisan support to achieve passage of the bill,” said Rep. Diane St. Onge, of Lakeside Park.

“It is a reflection of the true commitment and reverence the Commonwealth has for our military men, women, and families.”

To receive the plate, a Gold Star Sibling Affidavit must be completed and submitted to the Kentucky

Department of Veterans Affairs. The KDVA will confirm eligibility and provide a letter of qualification directly to the county clerk office on behalf of the license plate applicant.

The initial cost of this plate is $31, which includes a $10 mandatory contribution to the Veterans’ Program Trust Fund.

Each annual renewal is $26 with a $5 mandatory contribution fee. The plate is available for passenger vehicles and motorcycles.

The inaugural Gold Star plate was issued in April 2006 during a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda honoring Gold Star Mothers. Since the start of this program through December 2015, 136 mothers, fathers and spouses of fallen Kentuckians have received Gold Star license plates.

For additional information and to download a copy of the Gold Star Sibling Affidavit, please visit the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs website at http://veterans.ky.gov or 502-564-9203, 1-800-5726245.

Go for a walk even when the weather is really cold – your body has to work overtime to get warm and you may burn up to 50 percent more calories than you would on the same walk in summer. But remember, go a little slower until you get warm and keep up the hydration.

2. If you find it hard to get motivated to exercise in winter…just think of spring and how easier it will be to get outdoors and enjoy the warm weather after some winter conditioning.

3. Be aware of tendonitis and stress fracture if you don”t exercise in winter and expect to pick up where you left off last summer.

4. Instead of picking up a cup of hot chocolate to keep yourself warm, try a herbal beverage.

5. Gain an interest in indoor sports as opposed to cycling and jogging outdoors. Don”t forget that swimming at an indoor pool is an option for a great cardio workout.

6. The cold air and indoor heaters can dry out your skin. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water

each day and use moisturizers throughout winter.

7. Buy some indoor plants to soften up the dry atmosphere caused through heating. Indoor plants give off moisture and oxygen and the colours will brighten up a dull day.

8. Caught a cold or flu?

If the infection is above the neck (nose, throat) you could be OK to complete a low intensity workout. However, if you have symptoms that are worse than an average cold (chest congestion, muscle aches), exercise will only make you worse and delay your recovery. Rest is the best medicine.

9. Wear the right clothes when exercising in winter.

Polypropylene is the perfect fabric to wear underneath a tracksuit, which will provide great insulation but minimize moisture loss. Gore-Tex is a fabric used widely for providing protection from the rain and wind.

10. Feel like sitting on the couch with a video and snacking on a cold, wet day? Reach for a protein bar or packet of soy nuts instead of high energy, high fat snacks.

Participation free, but limited The Johnson County Public Library proudly presents a three-part oil painting class to be held at the library. Classes will take place on Tuesdays, March 8, 15 and 22 from noon – 2 p.m.

Folk artist and painter Tina Butcher will guide participants as they create an oil painting, teaching them how to choose the right paint colors and tools, how to see light and shadow on their subject, and how to use techniques such as blending and layering to make their subject come to life on the canvas.

“I am told that my Daddy had to sell his prized automobile to get me out of hock from the Paintsville Hospital in 1965 where I was born. I am also told that with what little remaining

money that he had he purchased our next ride from a farmer and subsequently left a group of chickens homeless. Apparently they had been using the car as a chicken coop. Not exactly a Coup De Ville! As a native of Johnson County I have spent most of my life here with the exception of a couple of brief moves to Lexington, and to North Carolina. Many of the artists from our area are folk artists, meaning that they are self-taught. I, too, am a self-taught artist who would very much love to obtain an art degree but it just never seems to be the right time. People often want to know what prompts us to want to learn to paint, carve or sew. Art for me is not a choice, it is just something I have to do.

I am constantly studying – most times when I look at people or objects I am considering how I would paint them. What colors I would use, the angles and most importantly the lighting

Days Gone By...

Tina Butcher will teach free oil painting classes at the Johnson County Library March 8, 15 and 22. and where the shadows fall.

Even my earliest memories of playing with my cousins are of me begging them to play art studio!,” Butcher said.This program is free, open to the public, and class size is limited to 10.
