Opinion

These Thoughts By Kathy J. Prater

Things that go bump in the night-go away!

I guess to some, I would be viewed as a complete kill-joy but I just do not see the “fun” in activities such as haunted houses, skydiv-

ing, or triple-turvy rollercoaster rides.

Feet on the ground and no scary stuff, please, and I am good to go.

This time of year, on social media and television, we get bombarded with all that is spooky, creepy and unnerving. Images of bloodied bodies, demonic faces, ice cold stares from the mentally imbalanced – it’s enough to make a nature/animal/pixie lovin’ ex-flower child (but, wait, is one ever an ex-flower child?) like me just want to spend the month in bed and under the covers.

Yet, all around me, I hear excited voices talking about the newest and scariest feature going for the Halloween season. Whether it’s a zombie-filled old shanty or a full-length fea-

ture film of black, misty ghouls and bloody hatchets, you can leave me out of the “festivities.” Yes sir, life on its very own is quite the thrill enough for me. I don’t need any more excitement than what comes with opening the monthly electricity bill.

I really struggle with what it is that folks find so entertaining when it comes to purposely having themselves scared half to death.

Some, I know, even find slasher movies to be funny.

Funny? Really? Chainsaw murders and bodies hanging from meat hooks?

Looking into the mirror to see a ghoulish face staring

back? Or watching hundreds of insects crawl from your mouth?

My occasional nightmares are already frightening enough, I don’t need more tortuous images taking up residence anywhere inside my head. Those angst-ridden sequences I sometimes dream where I find myself transported back to middle school wearing my pajamas are stress-induced enough for me.

And while we’re on the subject of what we find unpleasant, let me also add that I don’t one bit like those television ads that depict live, talking M&Ms

Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington

Emergency Preparedness I spent time in the Army as an Infantryman, time with Emergency Management as a Radiological Emergency and Liaison Officer and even some years in Civil Air Patrol as an Observer, Pilot, Safety Officer and eventually Squadron Commander, a total of more than 20 years service, training for and participating in combat, emergency response and Search and Rescue activities.

-- all of these should be some of the topics of discussion. Take the time to inform children, parents, friends and the elderly of your family plan.

Having a “go” bag ready is a smart idea, copies of ID documents, account numbers, spare clothing, thermal blankets, cash, a first aid kit, a few protein bars and a few bottles of water, matches (secured in a couple of zip lock bags), a good quality flashlight, spare batteries, solar chargers for phones and devices, a good knife and a multi-tool.

I even keep six heavy duty trash bags and duct tape in mine for waterproofing, improving an improvised shelter and etc. And, don’t forget paper towels!

Other items I keep are area topographical maps, a state highway map, a truckers atlas and a compass (not a GPS). A hand held scanner is nice, as well as a hand held CB unit. Also try

to include a length of 550 parachute cord. It is durable and handy and can be obtained from a number of sources including US Cavalry online.

For those so inclined, pack a pistol and ammunition. Something simple that won’t jam up, think revolver here. My favorite pick for anyone is a Smith and Wesson Model 10 .38 Special. Simple, point and shoot accurate, easy to master, easy to find ammunition for, lethal, and proven reliable over its 3 million plus copy production run since 1898. If you doubt the lethal ability of a .38 Special round, consider that most of the people killed by handguns in the latter half of the 20th century fell victim to a .38 Special.

Don’t forget needed medications and throw in some multi-vitamins while you are at it. Keep a spare can of gasoline on hand for your vehicle, five gallons doesn’t sound like much

but it will keep even a properly running full sized SUV running and producing heat for about 1.5 hours. Smaller, more efficient cars like my daughter’s KIA will run as long as 3.5 hours .... which can mean the difference between life and death when traveling in cold weather.

If immobile, make sure the vehicle is properly vented to avoid possible carbon monoxide poisoning.

One last thing about CB radios -- no license is required to operate although this was once the case. At full legal-power, CB’s have a maximum range of up to four miles. However, due to interference and/or obstacles, it is not possible to determine exact range for a certain area; range will vary regardless of the type, model or manufacturer of radio used. CB channel 9 has been designated by the FCC as an emergency contact channel in the United States. There are stations

about to be devoured by “friends” or baby PB&J pop-tarts about to become a snack for maternity ward nurses with an evil glint in their eyes.

Ok, so I’m guilty of wanting to view the world through rose-colored glasses. I suppose my excuse is just that so much strife and meanness already exist, why go looking for more?

And, why, oh why, oh why, go looking for gore?

I suppose I’ll just keep my eyes shut and blinders on until a “kinder, gentler” season arrives – Thanksgiving, hurry up!

across the country, including many police and rescue agencies that actively monitor this channel for those who have a problem ranging from medical emergencies, accidents and vehicle breakdowns, to being lost. Channel 19 is an “unofficial” trucker’s channel and truckers are about all you will hear on this channel. When traveling, this is a good channel to monitor in order to keep up on traffic jams, accidents and traffic enforcement. When using in an emergency, speak clearly in plain English as you would on a telephone, avoiding jargon, slang or code.

If you think your emergency and survival skills are lacking, I highly recommend obtaining a copy of the British SAS Survival Manual, its plastic coated pages will endure and it is a good read as you go reference for almost any situation, except a zombie apocalypse.

Proving that autumn in eastern Kentucky has always been beautiful, is this photo from 1979 of the young ladies that represented Prestonsburg High School that year as PHS Majorettes.

Halloween celebrations across the globe Candy, time spent with friends and colorful costumes make Halloween a day to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Halloween also can be a lucrative time of year, as the National Retail Federation notes that Halloween spending equals roughly $6.9 billion each year. But as popular as Halloween seems, many countries do not celebrate the holiday.

Halloween observances are limited mainly to North America and areas of Great Britain. Thanks to North American influence and trade, some elements of Halloween have spread to other areas, including South America, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia.

But Halloween celebrations outside of North America may not be recognizable to those accustomed to celebrations stateside.

In China, the Halloween festival is known as Teng

Chieh. Food and water are placed in front of photographs of family members who have passed away while bonfires and lanterns are lit in order to light paths for the spirits as they travel the planet on Halloween night. In Latin America and Mexico, Halloween is known as “El Dia de los Muertos.” Translated as “the day of the dead,” Dia de los Muertos is a threeday celebration that begins on the evening of Oct. 31 and culminates on Nov. 2.

It is more a celebration of departed friends and family members than a chance to get hordes of candy.

In France, Halloween was relatively unheard of until the mid-1990s. It was considered an American holiday and not celebrated.

However, the draw of parties and costumed festivities led some French to embrace certain components of Halloween.

District in on the line Johnson Central (7-0) at Ashland (8-0), 7:30 Raceland (5-3) at Paintsville (8-0), 7:30 District championships are on the line this week.

Johnson Central and Paintsville will be facing opponents tonight and a NO. 1 seed and district championship is up for grabs.

The Golden Eagles will go to Ashland and face the 8-0 Tomcats.

The Tigers (8-0) will host the 5-3 Rams.

Both Johnson Central and Ashland are 4-0 in the district and both beat East Carter, Greenup County, Rowan County and Boyd County soundly.

Page 9

Golden Eagles, Tigers look to go undefeated in regular season The winner will get the edge in the playoffs with home field. They come into the game No. 2 and No. 3 ranked in Class 4A. The Golden Eagles had a few things up its sleeve last week against Rowan County as they threw on the first play connecting on a 46 yard touchdown.

The Golden Eagles led 28-0 at the half as Bryce Workman threw for four touchdowns in the first half.

“I come from the thought you play like you practice,” JCHS coach Jim

Matney said. “I feel we had the best three practices leading into the Rowan County game. And we did plan on doing and working on a few new things. The guys executed perfectly.”

The Golden Eagles must have practiced well because they won impressively 42-6.

Who knows what coach Matney and the Eagles have in store at Ashland?

The Tigers are in the driver seat in their district.

They have already beaten Fairview and will host Raceland tonight. They

will be looking for sweet revenge against the Rams.

A win and they are district champs. Raceland lost at home to Fairview Friday making a possibility of a three way tie (in a three team district) if the Rams can pull off the upset over the Tigers. A strength of schedule tiebreaker would determine who won the district.

“We are excited for the opportunity in front of us,” said PHS coach Joe Chirico. “Now we got to take advantage. They (Raceland) put up a lot of

yardage (426 yards against Fairview with 315 on the ground). We have to be focused on both sides of the football.”

The Tigers remain NO. 1 in Class A football in the latest polls getting 14 of 17 first place votes.

Pikeville is third and Raceland came in 6th.

Fairview is 11th just out of the Top 10. (Rankings reflect last week’s rankings- with Fairview beating Raceland the Eagles may climb in the rankings and Rams may drop.)

Paintsville will end the

regular season at Shelby Valley who went to the state semi final last season in Class 2A. The Golden Eagles are No. 2 in Class 4A in the latest polls receiving three first place votes. Ashland comes in at No. 3 with one first place vote. South Warren is rated No. 1.

Last season, Johnson Central defeated Ashland 42-7.

Raceland defeated Paintsville twice last season including the regional championship game.

Sports Notebook

HUNTER DYER sprinted back during a game this season.

BRYCE RICE looked to defend during a game with Belfry.

Lawrence Co. earns home playoff game with win at Pike Central Dawgs strike quickly in the air- Kiser throws 4 TDs

The Lawrence County football team earned a 46-6 win over a depleted Pike County Central team Friday on the road and that win gave the Dawgs a No. 2 seed and a home playoff game.Quarterback Grant Kiser threw for over 250 yards and four touchdowns as the Dawgs scored 32 unanswered points after holding a 14-6 lead following the Hawks only score

of the game.Robert Dalton caught five passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns while Timmy Dalton hauled in four catches for 92 yards and one score.

Pike County Central, now 3-5, sustained several good drives but could not break the Lawrence County defense. The Dawgs turned the Hawks over on downs twice in the first half giving themselves great field position.Kiser and the Dalton boys took advantage.

Kiser hit Robert Dalton on a 60 yard score for the first

touchdown then a 25 yard score to Timmy Dalton gave them a 14 point lead.

Seth Conn hit Isaiah Hess for a 7 yard touchdown pass to give the Hawks their only score.Kiser ran a touchdown in from 26 y ards and hit Robert Dalton again for 48 yards.Kiser also hit Jordan Johnson just before the half giving the Dawgs a four score lead.In the second half, Lawrence County got two defensive touchdowns.Austin Chaffins had a 93 yard interception return for a score

and Noah West nabbed the other touchdown off a third Pike Central turnover.A running clock was used for most of the second half.

Pike Central, who will play Belfry this week, was without several players after suspensions from a scuffle with Sheldon Clark the week prior.Lawrence County improved to 5-3 with the win and 1-1 in district play. They host Sheldon Clark Friday before heading to Prestonsburg to finish off the regular season.

The Tigers lined up during pregame before their contest with Pikeville earlier this season. The Tigers won in OT. The two schools could meet again in the playoffs as the Tigers are No. 1 and Panthers No. 3 in Class A.

Blackcats shut out Rebs in first meeting in two decades It took a little time but visiting Prestonsburg put Allen Central away to win 35-0 in district play Friday night.

The loss eliminated Allen Central from post season play.

Prestonsburg (4-4 overall and 2-2 in district play) secured a playoff spot but will have to travel in the postseason.

Bailey Slone connected with Wesley Hager for the Blackcats first score.

It wasn’t until two minutes to go until Dalton Frasure ran it in from 2 yards away for a 14-0 Black Cat lead.

Prestonsburg took the wind out of the Rebels and their crowd just 40 seconds later as Drake Nunnery took back a punt for a 40 yard touchdown.

Prestonsburg led 20-0 at halftime.

Allen Central fell to 4-4 and 1-3.

Prestonsburg had not played Allen Central in football since the mid1990s.

The Drive In Johnson Central’s 42-6 win over Rowan County- the Vikings did do something pretty incredible.

The Vikings’ offense sustained a drive for over 13 minutes that chewed up the entire third quarter and another minute and change of the fourth period before scoring their only TD of the game.

The Vikings converted multiple fourth down plays during the drive.

The Golden Eagles led 28-0 during the drive as they threw four first half touchdowns.

The Records Johnson Central senior kicker/punter might transfer to Greenup County if he had another year. Pack now owns two state records.

Both coming against Greenup County and at Greenup County’s field. Pack had an 89 yard punt in the game on October 9.

“It was very amazing.”

JCHS coach Jim Matney.

“To see that ball go 70 yards in the air. Incredible.”

The previous record was 84 yards on a punt.

Older Americans are true ‘superheroes” Article submitted As the Prestonsburg HealthCare parade float slowly moved down North Lake Drive, it looked less like a parade and more like Comic Book Convention.

That’s because the Prestonsburg HealthCare seniors were dressed as classic superheroes and villains from the pages of your favorite comic book with the likes of Robin, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Batgirl, and crowd favorite – The Joker.

As children, and often as adults, we love to idolize Superheroes. They stand for Truth, Justice and Freedom; something we all

should strive for, although we don’t need to track down Batman, Superman, or even Captain America to find someone that stands and have stood for those same principles. We have those people around us every single day; our world would be a better place if every so often we put down the comic books and paid attention to the real superheroes in our lives­ —our elders. They are the ones who truly deserve all the fanfare and attention we can give. Go out of your way to make sure the Elders in your life know that they are your true superheroes.

Quintessential fall treat - the candy apple

There isn’t a more beautiful fall treat than candy apples. Their outstanding color, aroma and presentation make them almost too pretty to eat. Don’t get a candy apple confused with a caramel apple: they are not the same. The candy apple is coated with a hard coated cinnamon candy while the caramel apple is dipped in, you guessed it, caramel. These candy apple treats that are legendary throughout the world were actually made by accident. A candy maker wanted to display his cinnamon candy around the time of Christmas, so he dipped apples in his cinnamon goodness which he then put on display for window shoppers in the store’s window. This lured in curious shoppers with a sweet tooth and it didn’t take long before the candy apple was made famous.

They present such a beautiful color that a bright illuminating red is often referred to as “candy apple red.” I automatically relate that color to nail polish and race cars.

Although you may think that dipping apples is known as a Fall festivity because of apple season, it’s actually because being successful at dipping apples is a determinant of Mother Nature. When the atmosphere is cooler and less humid, the candy is able to stick to the apples

more easily than it would be in Spring or Summer months. So, if you want a good homemade candy apple, get to it while the weather is right.

I’m sharing with you the candy apple recipe that has been used throughout my life for Halloween parties and Fall months. These sweet treats are the perfect party favor, gift, table centerpiece, tummy pleaser and tradition.

The key to making the perfect candy apple is in using a candy thermometer. It’s very important that specific temperatures are reached and using a candy thermometer will ensure you reach them.

Using Granny Smith apples give the best contrast of flavor. The tartness of the apple is a great match for the sweet candy coating, but of course, you can use any apple you prefer. I have also found that using an oiled sheet of aluminum foil releases the candy apples better than buttered wax paper.

I hope ya’ll have fun making candy apples!

Ingredients: Vegetable oil, aluminum foil 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup water 2 drops of cinnamon candy flavoring, optional 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring 6 medium Granny Smith

apples Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and oil its surface; set aside until needed. In a saucepan, combine sugar, 3/4 cup water, candy flavoring, corn syrup, and red food coloring. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the mixture has achieved a steady boil, reduce heat to medium-high. Insert candy thermometer and boil until temperature reaches between 300 degrees and 310 degrees or hard crack stage.

While waiting for the temperature to rise, insert a wooden stick into the top of each cleaned and dry apple, pushing about halfway through; set aside. When mixture reaches hard crack stage, immediately remove

Nothing says ‘Fall’ like a candy apple. from heat. Dip apples in sugar mixture until com-

pletely coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and

cool.
