BSCTC recognized nationally for PR and marketing Big Sandy Community and Technical College’s (BSCTC) marketing and public relations department has been awarded three medallion awards by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) during its District 2 Conference at the IP Casino, Resort and Spa in Biloxi, Miss. The college earned a gold and medallion award for feature story/op-ed writing and a bronze medallion for its mascot program. Dr. Devin Stephenson said the awards represent the commitment to an effective communications and marketing strategy implemented by the college. “Our public relations staff go above and beyond each day,” he said. “They communicate the success of our students, faculty and staff and do a tremendous job in
By Kathy Prater Christmas around Ruth Prater’s house was always a pretty fun time. Ruth was my mother and she really did love Christmas even though she sometimes tried to complain about all the work involved. Looking back, I can see her in the kitchen, busy as a bee, making chocolate walnut and peanut butter fudge, and something she called “Sea Foam” – a lightly flavored meringue type candy that one of my best friends thought was to die for. When she wasn’t in the kitchen stirring up Christmas treats, she was busy around the house decorating. One of my favorite things to do around this time was to help her wrap our front door in shiny foil – colored either red, green or gold. Once covered, she would painstakingly cut out around the three, small rectangular windows on the front of the door and then,

lastly, hang a cheery wreath with a bright red bow. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a front door decorated in this manner but it was quite in vogue when I was growing up. My mother loved receiving Christmas cards in the mail and would proudly display them by taping them in a decorative manner around the door frame leading from our living room into the main hallway. I have to admit, they did look quite festive hung in such a way, with a little silver garland wrapped around for just the right touch. And I can’t forget setting up the Christmas tree. It seems that most every year I can remember, it was my mother and I that worked together to accomplish the task of setting up and decorating our family Christmas tree. My older sister was away at college when we did this, or in later years, off living in Wisconsin; and my brothers and dad were
just simply not interested. So, it was mother and I that got out the strings of lights and the shiny bulbs and treasured ornaments. Once the lights were on and all the ornaments placed, I had the great fun of hanging “icicles” all over the entire tree. These long, thin silver-colored aluminum adornments are also not too often seen today but my mother and I thought they were absolutely essential to the beauty of a well-decked out tree. In later years, as I have mentioned in this column before, my mother developed Alzheimer’s Disease and though my memories of these wonderful times together remained intact, hers did not. She spent the last several years of her life wanting nothing more but to “go home.” Though she lived in her own home and would pay frequent visits to the old home place in which she grew up, none of these

places were what she considered to be home. As fate would have it, my mother left this world on Christmas Day, 2005. It was a Sunday morning and my children and I had sat up with her in the hospital ER until around 4 a.m. We were scheduled to take part in our church’s Christmas morning service and I didn’t know what to do. Stay? Go home? Sleep? Go to church? As it were, we ended up going to church and fulfilling our promise to be a part of the service. Ruth, aka “Mother” aka “MeMaw,” died around 11 a.m., while my children and I were in church. Needless to say, Christmases since have never been quite the same. But one thing I do know for sure, my mother loved Christmas and, by george, she made it “home” in time to celebrate in a grand way that year.
Three Cheers To You! With thanks for your valued business from all of us.
Wishing you and yours much joy and laughter, at Christmastime and forever, after!

Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington
Guns and Butter
In macroeconomics, the guns versus butter model is an example of a simple production–possibility frontier. It demonstrates the relationship between a nation’s investment in defense and civilian goods. In this example, a nation has to choose between two options when spending its finite resources. The “guns or butter” model is used generally as a simplification of national spending as a part of the Gross Domestic Product. The nation will have to decide which balance of guns versus butter best fulfills its needs, with its choice being partly influenced by the military spending and military stance of potential opponents. Researchers in political economy have viewed the trade-off between military and consumer spending as a useful predictor of election success. Perhaps the best known use of the phrase was in Nazi Germany. In a speech on January 17, 1936, Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels stated: “We can do without butter, but, despite all our love of peace, not without arms. One cannot shoot with butter, but with guns.” Referencing the same concept, sometime in the summer of the same year another Nazi official, Hermann Göring,
announced in a speech, “Guns will make us powerful; butter will only make us fat.” Well....Fat Hermann would know and pardon me while I digress but Joseph Goebbels speaking of the Nazi love of peace....wow. Back on point, I am reading a lot of late about making the shift from an industrial to a digital economy. What the heck are the people in charge thinking? I think it is a cover to outsource good manufacturing jobs and destroy the energy industry and replace good factory and mining jobs with jobs in the tech world that will be absolutely useless if our technology were to fail as the result of electronic warfare or a naturally occurring blast of a solar wind from the sun. All of our gee-whiz make it easy to know nothing and have-no-skills technological toys will be out the window and three fourths of people today will be standing around with their thumbs stuck firmly in their behinds, wondering just how one goes about building a fire. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose Presidency was a mediocre one at best, found himself caught up in a heightening arms race and saw his nation feeding the militaryindustrial complex. In his
Student Essays By Sydney Becknell The name Photorealism (also known as Hyperrealism or Superrealism) was coined in reference to those artists whose work depended heavily on photographs, which they often projected onto canvas allowing images to be replicated with precision and accuracy. The exactness was often aided further by the use of an airbrush, which was originally designed to retouch photographs. The movement came about within the same period and context as Conceptual art, Pop Art, and Minimalism and expressed a strong interest in realism in art, over that of idealism and abstraction. Flourishing during the 1970s, Photorealism engages the Marxist critic Walter Benjamin’s influen-
tial treatise, “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,” (1936) which attempts to position art within the sphere of mass media. Among several male practitioners of Photorealism there is an interest in themes of machinery and objects of industry such as trucks, motorcycles, cars, and even gumball machines, whereas Audrey Flack, the sole female practitioner, infuses her works with greater emotionality and the transience of life. To a degree not previously accomplished, Photorealism complicates the notion of realism by successfully mixing together that which is real with that which is unreal. While the image on the canvas
well known “Chance for Peace” speech, Ike observed: “Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.” If this were not enough, he went on to emphasize that: “The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” So then what is the cost of the eight thousand jobs lost so far in the coal industry and the twenty thousand support jobs that have gone away as a result of the War on Coal? These are people who are not paying a dime in taxes any longer and although there is much talk of retraining miners into digital whiz kids, that in itself will take time and money to develop as an industry and workforce while our area goes without one billion dollars circulating in our economy. But the demand for coal is gone, isn’t it? The answer is no. The demand is there but the government restrictions that hinder coal making it from mine
to marketplace are insurmountable as the nation’s leader is happy to punish an entire region for not supporting his election bid while there are reports of brownouts and steel shortages throughout the civilized world. Not to worry, we are shifting to a digital economy! This is just a distraction folks, a way for the leadership to look like it cares about us and is doing something when they are actually selling us a load of mid-quality BS. But the war on coal is improving air quality for the entire world, right? Wrong. Those big white clouds that used to billow out of Kentucky Power’s stack was steam, not black, sooty clouds of smoke. They were the result of government working with industry, not against it, to find a solution that worked and the clean coal initiative was very real. Was, as in past tense. To fill the global vacuum left in the wake of War on Coal casualties, foreign owned companies, owned by the Chinese, Indonesians and others are flourishing as they have built and are building many coal fired plants with no environmental controls in place, so the net effect of the war on coal was to make matters worse. It is not just coal, domestic auto and heavy equipment manufacturers have fled Ohio and Michigan for better manufacturing situations abroad even as foreign manufacturers come here and flourish because as outsiders, we give them incentives for success that we would not offer to our own folks. Kind of makes you wonder if whomever is driving this bus is asleep at the wheel. But by golly I remember a time that you could
be oh-so- proud to be an American in a nation that built things, discovered things and did things that no other nation on Earth could do. We were something back then instead of the something-to-beashamed-of that we have become. A digital economy, indeed. It sounds to me like melted butter with a dash of BS added for flavor. And I am not being narrow-minded, I can see the digital world as a developing component of the national economy but not as something that should be relied on exclusively to bet the farm on until it is developed. I want the economy to grow. A growing economy puts more money in my family’s pocketbooks and it gives the poor and unemployed an easier time in finding jobs. Families can save for retirement or their children’s education and can see their nest eggs grow. But we have to hold what we have and go with what we have got until such a time as new developments have the time to succeed or fail, before we commit everything to getting behind it. The current President has tried to spread income around by redistributing what people have earned through their own efforts. As we have seen, this actually hinders the creation of new income. And creating more income is the only known way to increase overall prosperity. Fortunately, we know how to grow the economy—this is accomplished by individuals working and trading and creating freely, not by government taxing away our income, restricting our economic freedom, and spending our money – supposedly -- on our behalf
but really on its own priorities and nonsense, such as declaring a war on the coal industry and coal people and taking a billion dollars plus out of local circulation or tossing an equal number of jobs in the dumpster when encouraging a U.S. business to locate elsewhere while foreign companies are given every break to come locate here and prosper. Insanity. Back to all things local, when a mining company mines coal and then sells the coal to a power company, it gets money to pay its employees, namely coal miners, who go on to buy what they need for their own use and the mining company spends its profits locally to sustain its needs. Utility customers get the electricity generated by coal, which they prefer to the money they give the power company. A circle of income has thus been created by developing products that consumers want and need. This isn’t rocket science. It’s common sense, and it’s been true for thousands of years. But in Washington, unfortunately, common sense is not very common. In an economic downturn, it seems common sense becomes downright rare. Many lawmakers use temporary downturns to increase their power permanently by taxing, spending, and borrowing rather than supporting policies to grow the economy and so here we are, seventeen trillion dollars in debt as a nation with some of our true local unemployment numbers approaching fifty percent. Cue the tumbleweeds and may God help us all.
A discussion of photorealism is recognizable and carefully delineated to suggest that it is accurate, the artist based their work upon photographs rather than direct observation. Therefore, their canvases remain distanced from reality factually and metaphorically. Many Photorealists adamantly insist that their works, which are laden with such mass and consumer culture icons as trucks, fast food restaurants, and mechanical toys, are not communicative of social criticism or commentary. However, it is hard to deny that these works are recognizably American. At times, the actual work rather than the artist’s words is our most useful guide. In this manner, there is the contrast between the reality and primacy of the word or text, over the visual within our society. Since the advent of photography in the early 19thcentury, artists have used the camera as a tool in picture making; however,
artists would never reveal in paint their dependency on photographs as to do so was seen as “cheating.” In contrast, Photorealists acknowledge the modern world’s mass production and proliferation of photographs, and they do not deny their dependence on photographs. In fact, several artists attempt to ape the affects that photography, rather than the vision of the eye, such as blurriness, multiple-viewpoints, because they favor the aesthetic and look. Therefore, while the resulting image is realistic, it is simultaneously one-stage away from reality by its dependence on the reproduced image. These works question traditional artistic methods, as well as the differences between reality and artificiality. The representation of light, as well as the interaction of light and color together has concerned artists throughout the ages. By using slide machines
to project images onto bare canvas Photorealism for the first time unites color and light together as one element. The capturing of light is most especially evident in the highly reflective surfaces of steel and chrome. Photorealists, along with some practitioners of Pop art, reintroduced the importance of process and
deliberate planning over that of improvisation and automatism, into the making of art, draftsmanship, and exacting brushwork. In other words, the traditional techniques of academic art are again of great significance, and painstaking craftsmanship is prized after decades of the spontaneous, accidental, and improvisational.

Paintsville High student earns $42,000 scholarship from UK
Parisa Shamaei-Zadeh isn’t shy about her heritage. You see, the 17-year-old Paintsville High School senior and member of the Johnson County/Paintsville Early College Academy at Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) is, as she says, half-Iranian and half-Appalachian. “Those are two cultures that don’t truly appreciate each other,” said ShamaeiZadeh. “I’m hoping to change that.” That was the basis of Shamaei-Zadeh’s essay that landed her the William C. Parker Diversity Scholarship ($42,000) at the University of Kentucky. “I’m excited to receive this scholarship because it allows me to further my education while working towards a greater understanding of my cultures,” said Shamaei-Zadeh, whose father, Dr. Ali Shamaei-Zadeh, is from Iran and mother, Patricia Nelson, is a native of Lawrence County. “Diversity is a beautiful thing, and I found that the people who represent my cultures have wonderful things to contribute.” Parisa, who is also a member of the Paintsville High School cheerleading squad, hopes to have a career that contributes to those aspiring for something better. She hopes to become a physician and work in underserved areas abroad. “I have a passion for people and I want to make a difference,” said Parisa.

Central beats Highland for boys basketball title Lemaster nets 20 for back to back wins Every now and then there is that elementary basketball game that is the talk of the town. And it had a dramatic finish. Well, it happened last Thursday in the finals of the JCEAA (Johnson County Elementary Athletic Association) boys’ basketball tournament played at Johnson Central High School. The top two seeds in the league squared off for the third time with each winning on the other’s home court during regular season play. In a tight, nip-and-tuck battle Central Elementary came away with the 35-33 win after holding off a late rally from Highland. It was the second straight county championship by the Eagles. Conner Lemaster led the winners with 20 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals and 5 blocks. The Eagles (11-1) led 11-4 after one period but went stagnant in the second stanza only getting one late field goal from Lemaster. Highland (9-3) got threepoint field goals from Riley McKenzie and Lathan Hall
in the period as they scored 10 straight points and led 14-13 at halftime. The Eagles got it together in the third period scoring seven quick points for a 20-14 advantage as Lemaster knocked down a threepointer to cause a timeout by the Wildcats. Central extended that led to 9 headed into the final period by a 27-18 tally as Lemaster nailed a three at the buzzer. The game got dicey in the final two minutes. With Central up seven Highland was able to cut it to four with a basket and a pair of foul shots by Hall. Hall led Highland with 15 points. With 6 seconds to go Hall hit two more foul shots to make it a two point game. A Highland foul have Central two free throws but neither shot fell giving Highland a dramatic last shot for the win. Hall grabbed the soft rebound and dribbled to the left side and fired a running three-pointer for the win but the ball banked hard off the glass and bounced off the rim. Riley McKenzie, who fouled out in the 4th pe-

Grant Bingham finished with six points and Conner McKenzie added two. For Central, point guard Grant Rice added six points, four steals, five as-
sists and two rebounds. Rice also took a huge charge in that second period when things were going south for the Eagles. Ethan Ayo contributed with seven hitting a big bucket down the stretch. Matt scored a fourth period layup and grabbed five boards.
“I’m real happy for our kids,” Central coach Jason Hurt said. “They showed a lot of heart and determination. And really all the guys on both teams did. It was just a great championship game.” The 14-4 run in the third period became the difference for Central. Lemaster
poured in a dozen of his points including the two three-pointers. “He showed up in a big way when we needed him the most,” Hurt said of Lemaster. Central hit 7 of 14 foul shots compared to 5 of 9 for Highland.

BES ‘Hoops’ ends season on successful note By Jennifer Ferguson The 2015 Blaine Hoops season recently came to an end as students played their last game Friday, Dec. 11. Hoops is an intramural league that began in the spring of 2012 and has continued every year since for students in preschool through eighth grade. “To be on a team is a great experience that many Blaine kids weren’t able to experience before Hoops began,” said Coach Lea Anna Preece. “I will continue doing the league as long as there are volunteers and students interested in helping and participating.” As a reward for a great season, players were given custom basketballs so they can continue to practice their skills at home during the off season. “We had approximately 70 kids participate this year and it was amazing,” said Preece. “I can’t thank everyone enough to making this year so successful.” The next Hoops signups will be held in fall 2016.

It took them a few minutes to get going but once they did, they rolled. The Johnson Central Lady Eagles got plenty of contributions as they pulled away by halftime to beat visiting Prestonsburg 61-28 Friday night. JC improved to 3-2 on the season. Ali May led the way with 14 points all coming in the second period alone. May hit three field goals including one three pointer and knocked down 5 of 6 free throws. Lauren Salyer added 12 points hitting 6 of 8 foul shots. Through the first five minutes it was a two point game but the Lady Eagles were able to extend that lead to 10 by the end of the first period. Lauren Preston provided a spark from the bench coming in and scoring all six of her points in the first period. Jayla Spurlock provided nine points and four blocks and her three-point basket just before halftime gave the Lady Eagles a 30 point lead at 49-19. It was cruise control after that. A running clock was used after baskets by Salyer and Lauren Delong gave Central a 35-point lead just minutes into the second half. Delong finished with five. Bailey Daniel turned in six points on two first period three pointers. Alaina Castle, Ashlee Belcher, Audrey Butcher and Hannah Fitch each had two points. MIcailyn Pierce scored one point. The Lady Eagles hit 18 of 21 free throws. Janna Jarvis led Prestonsburg with 8 points on two threes and two foul shots. Reesa Endicott

points. Kelsey Auxier scored two points.It was back and forth but the Lady Eagles led 24-22 at halftime and 27-26 after three periods following seven total points combined in that quarter. Central missed a late foul shot with a chance to tie. “I don’t believe in good losses,” JC coach Darrin Rice said. “But we have to take away positives from a game like this. It can only help us moving forward.” Lakyn Mullins and Kayla Newsome scored 11 each for Valley helping them to a 5-0 record.

Santa Comes Back
The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley
Special Christmas memories
It’s Christmas week! If you follow my Facebook and Instagram accounts, you know that I am all about Christmas cheer. Growing up, my Mom always made sure Christmas was super special and memorable. Her joyous attitude toward Christmas has undoubtedly rubbed off on me, but I’m not complaining. The last contest I had on Facebook was a Christmas tree contest. I asked my followers to submit a photo of their Christmas tree and tell me what made it special for their chance to win a feature on my blog and a Christmas ornament. There were so many beautiful trees entered in the contest and I truly loved reading the details about each and every tree. However, one stuck out to me the most. Amy Banks of Whitesburg, Kentucky, submitted a photo of her Christmas tree with a touching story behind it. Amy’s tree is decorated with Christmas ornaments that were her mother’s before she passed away. After I chose her the winner of
the contest, she then shared with me some photos of her favorite ornaments, one being a photo frame ornament with her mother’s photo that proudly sits at the top of the tree. Amy’s tree really touched my heart and reminded me of the close relationship I have with my own mother. Her mother’s spirit shines as bright as the lights on her Christmas tree and although I don’t know Amy and her family, I felt the love that she and her mother shared. I have so many fond memories of Christmases with my Momma. I can remember making gum drop ornaments with her at the kitchen table, making reindeer food so they would have something to eat outside while Santa delivered my gifts and her Christmas morning breakfasts that always consisted of a scrumptious frittata, which she continues to make for me every Christmas morning. This Christmas, make it a point to make memories with your loved ones. Share more than gift giving and

If you’ve been good all year and know Santa will be making a stop at your house, don’t forget to feed the reindeer! It’s just as important as leaving Santa his cookies and milk. Mom and I would always scatter the food in the yard and bushes Christmas Eve night before going to bed. The food not only fills the bellies of the reindeer, but also sparkles so they can see where to land!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, With no thought of the dog outside filling their heads. And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Knew he was cold, but didn’t care about that. When out on the lawn, there rose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed, to see what was the matter. Away to the window, I flew like a flash, Figuring the dog had gotten into the trash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave the luster of midday to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But Santa Claus -- his eyes full of tears. He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick, Last year’s Christmas present, now thin and sick. More rapid than eagles, he called the dog’s name. And the dog ran to him, despite all its pain. “Now Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall! Let’s find this dog a home where he’ll be loved by all!” I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year, For Santa had made one thing quite clear. The gift of a dog is not just for the season, We had gotten the pup for all the wrong reasons. In our haste to think of giving a gift, There was one important thing that we missed. A dog should be family, and cared for the same, You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain. And I heard Santa exclaim as he rode out of sight, “You weren’t given a ‘gift,’ you were given a life!” – Author Unknown
