Tinseltown Talks By Nick Thomas
The Golden Age of Hollywood Olivia and Errol It’s a sobering thought for fans of classic film. Olivia de Havilland, who celebrated her 100th birthday this month (July 1), is the last surviving big screen legend from Hollywood’s Golden Age of the 1930s. While other living actors such as Gloria DeHaven, Marsha Hunt and Norman Lloyd were indeed active in film during the ‘30s, Ms. de Havilland remains the only Alist star from that era whose name could be bundled with the likes of Bogart, Davis, Gable and Hepburn. Other surviving big stars such as Kirk Douglas, Doris Day and Jerry Lewis all appeared in film post1930s. In 2009, while preparing a story on the centenary of Errol Flynn’s birth, I received a letter from France — by FedEx Express, no less — from de Havilland.
In it, she shared some memories of Flynn, some of which are reproduced here in a Q&A format. How many films did you and Flynn appear in together? “I worked with Errol in eight movies from 1935 to 1941. We appeared quite separately, however, in a ninth film, ‘Thank Your Lucky Stars,’ in which we had no connection whatsoever. This film’s shooting dates extended from October 1942 to early January, 1943. Our first film together, “Captain Blood,” began Aug. 5, 1935 and ended in October, 1935.” Your final film together was “They Died with Their Boots On.” Did you ever see Flynn again? “After ‘Boots’ was completed in September 1941, I saw Flynn only three times during all the years that followed:
1. At Harvey’s Restaurant in Washington, D.C., in the spring or early summer of 1942 when, perceiving John Huston and me dining there, Errol crossed the room, sat down at our table, and conversed for a while. 2. Very briefly at a soirée in Los Angeles in the spring of 1943. 3. In the fall of 1957 at the Beverly Hilton’s Costumers Ball. Quite unexpectedly, while I was talking to friends during the cocktail hour, Errol left his own group and asked if he could take me to dinner. He seated me on his immediate right and, soon joined by others, took on the role of gracious host with everyone on his left – all the ladies – while I did my best to entertain the gentleman on my right.” Over the years, Flynn has been sensationalized by the press and authors. Has he been

Olivia de Havilland celebrated her 100th birthday this past July 1. She is hailed as the last living big screen legend from Hollywood’s Golden Age of the 1930s. mischaracterized? “His roguish reputation was very well deserved, as he more than candidly revealed in his remarkable autobiography, ‘My Wicked, Wicked Ways.’ However, through this very same book we also know that he was a reflective person — sensitive, idealistic, vulnerable, and questing. But I think he has been incompletely represented by the press: it vulgarized his adventures with the opposite sex and seldom, if ever, touched upon or emphasized the other facets of his life.” Flynn had 4 children, a son and 3 daughters. What were his feelings about parenthood? “I know that, as a very young man, Errol very much wanted children. Children were, in fact, an issue between Errol and Lili (his first wife) in the early years of their marriage as Lili, influenced by a common belief in those times, was afraid that carrying a child would threaten the perfect figure with which she had been blessed. Later, when the marriage was disintegrating, Lili changed
her mind and Sean Flynn, that beautiful child, was born. It may well be that the only steadfast loves of Errol’s life were his love of the sea, his love of his house, and his love of his children.” Flynn was never recognized for his acting with even an Oscar nomination. Was that an oversight? “Unfortunately, at the time when Errol enjoyed his greatest success, the adventure film, as a genre, was not sufficiently appreciated and therefore his appearances therein were not as highly regarded as they might. ‘The Adventures of Robin Hood’ is perhaps an exception: it was nominated for the Academy Award as Best Picture in 1938. The film was based on an historical legend, and this gave it a certain prestige. As to which of Errol’s performances should have merited an Academy Award, I would have to run all of Flynn’s films to give a proper reply! “However, I do feel he played his roles with unmatchable verve, conviction, and style. In doing so, he inherited
the mantle of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., who was my favorite film star at the age of 9 and whose ‘The Black Pirate’ made an indelible impression on me. No one since Errol has worn that mantle; it is buried with him.” Ms. de Havilland’s letter concluded with a delightful P.S. indicating a long-time private ritual which, presumably, she performed last month, too, just a few days before her own birthday. “On June 20th (Flynn’s birthday), I will raise a glass of champagne to Errol, as I always do.” No doubt classic movie fans across the world are similarly toasting Errol Flynn’s most remarkable leading lady who continues to wear her own mantle representing Hollywood’s distant Golden Age with her consummate elegance, class, and charm.

Editorial The Common Tater B John Sparks
The Renaissance Men
I looked through my books the other day and found an old pamphlet that once belonged to my grandfather: a transcription of a lecture Dr. Paul B. Hall delivered at Louisville in 1964 entitled “My Forty Years’ Practice of Medicine in the Hills of Eastern Kentucky.” Skimming over it once again made me marvel how much the healthcare industry has changed, not only here, but all over the country, even since Dr. Hall delivered the lecture, let alone when he began his practice as a junior medical student back in the terrible, death-filled days of the
1919 Spanish influenza epidemic. Nowadays we have millions of drugs, tons of tests, and X-ray procedures enough to diagnose conceivably almost anything. Back in the days of his youth, Dr. Hall noted in the lecture, the drugs physicians could count on could be numbered on the fingers with digits left over, none antibiotics because those hadn’t yet been developed, and he and his colleagues had to make virtually all their diagnoses using only their eyes, hands, and ears besides maybe a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. So if it’s true that
a “Renaissance Man” is one who can boast of being accomplished in many disciplines, like Leonardo da Vinci with painting, sculpture and engineering all, our oldtime country doctors were true Renaissance Men—at least from the standpoint of the dozens of subspecialties of medicine. Besides the several stories about riding horseback through creek beds to reach patients and then later having his wife break the ice off the stirrups frozen to his feet, Dr. Hall recounted tales of surgical experimentation and innovation prompted by on-thespot emergency decisions that would turn a typical young modern physician into a quivering lump of paralyzed fear. He often acted boldly because he just as often had no other choice. Nor was he the only mountain doctor forced to show audacity on a regular basis: though it’s been a long time since the days of the coal company doc-
tors, one still hears stories of mine accidents patched up almost MASH-style by these men, often fresh out of medical school and a one-year rotating internship and on their first jobs. I’ve already shared one anecdote of Dr. F. M. Picklesimer’s days as Royal Collieries’ physician at Offutt. Later on his partner in Paintsville for a while, Dr. A. D. Slone, diagnosed the first case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever ever reported locally, working from a set of symptoms that had stumped doctors much older than him. And though all had to be competent with a scalpel, arguably the neatest surgeon locally was Dr. E.G. Skaggs: he had a reputation for making the smallest, most precise incisions possible in any operation he performed, and once actually removed the appendix of one of my particularly skinny cousins using local anesthetic. Dr. Skaggs simply slapped a bandaid on top of the few
stitches he left, and my cousin hopped off the operating table and walked, with a little assistance, back to his room. And the heroic, often wryly comedic, tales of the tough old doctors go on. The Renaissance Men’s one great collective failing with their patients is almost understandable, though we’re still paying for it today. Psychiatric disorders carried a terrible social stigma and hardly anyone would even admit to the possibility that they might suffer from such maladies. Even then, almost the only thing yesteryear’s physicians could prescribe for cases of “nerves” was, simply, narcotic “nerve tonic.” Later on pills took the place of the tonic, and over the years overworked doctors increasingly threw them at patients as quick fixes; one thing led to another until we have our present prescriptiondrug addiction crisis. And for all that, the country doctors of yore
Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington
Happy Jesse Ventura Day The dull thump of fireworks mortars could be heard echoing throughout the hills and hollers as the celebration of our national Independence from Great Britain approached this past Fourth of July holiday. To a combat veteran who has spent time on the receiving end of incoming mortar fire, every whump, thump and kaboom that gets an ooo and ahh from the kids causes our hearts to beat a little faster and no matter how ludicrous the thought of some sort of attack occurring locally, some
tiny haunted part of our mind is remaining cool and at ease knowing that there is a weapon within reach and we know how to use it to effectively engage human predators under the most adverse of conditions. Thwump... Screee..... Ka-boom! Burning flares fall to the ground. “Ooo! Ahh! That one was pretty.” The smell of burned cordite and hot dogs are in the air and we are taken back to our own Hell of things best left undescribed to the general public. It’s a celebration, people are
Student Essays By Sydney Becknell
Brexit
Despite the cutesy name, Brexit is the largest political move to occur in the U.K in
the past century. Brexit stands for “British Exit,” which is in reference to Britain’s de-
left a good, strong legacy of healing, one to which our own lawsuitridden modern healthcare profession might aspire. To those of us who work inside the industry, though, indoctrinated daily as we are with a medical philosophy that increasingly and evermore makes its very basis the initials C.Y.O.A.F.—like the Good Book says, he that hath an ear, let him hear; the first three letters stand for “Cover Your Own,” and again to quote the Bible, the last shall be “First”—perhaps we are prone to view the deeds of the Renaissance Men somewhat through rose-colored glasses. The doctors of yesteryear would have given their eyeteeth for a full night’s sleep, let alone the medical conveniences we now take for granted. I just can’t help suspecting, though, if the Renaissance Men might have used them more fearlessly—and probably could have slept better, too.
enjoying the life generations of warriors have provided for them, it should be a happy time. Times are far from happy though, aren’t they guys and girls? How many of we who served jerk involuntarily with each report and watch the burst of flares with our firing eye closed or covered? It is not because we are broken it is because we were conditioned to respond to certain things a certain way. Things probably won’t go down in our AO (Area of Operations) anytime soon, but as the news shows us almost nightly, anything can happen. I don’t have an MBA from an Ivy League university but I do have a CIB (Combat Infantry Badge) of which I am infinitely more proud of and I am proud of it because it recognizes the sacrifices of not just myself but of all Infantry soldiers who served our nation in time of war before and since. I was appalled by a recent news item I saw
where a reporter interviewed random people at the beach and asked them what the Fourth of July holiday actually celebrated. Less than twenty percent answered even close to correctly. The reporter asked people who their favorite founding father was....Jesse Ventura, John Wilkes Booth or George Jefferson. Much to Weezy’s dismay I am sure but most folks thought Jesse Ventura did the most to form the colonies into a new, free and independent nation. Free from who? Free from what? No one knew as the reporter comically led the general public to believe we fought World War II for freedom from Stalin’s Germany. They accepted this as fact and moved right on to the family weenie roast. More than once I heard the explanation of: “Oh wow man, I slept through that class.” Who the hell were they interviewing? Tommy Chong? Wow.
How dumb our people have become and I believe some grand design is in place for us to become dumber and dumber and to always accept the word of someone of authority as indisputable historic fact. What the hell is wrong with everyone? I slept through that class, indeed. Really? It seems we were all asleep when we said estimates and not absolutes were okay in mathematics and that it was okay to not learn to read and write in cursive. Did anyone stop to think that our Declaration of Independence (not the one signed by Jesse Ventura) our Constitution, Treaties, original Surveys and Deeds of Origin were written in cursive? How easy it becomes to delete, copy and paste whatever one wants into these transcribed documents and who will oppose them if no one is capable of reading these items in their original, historically correct form? You
can’t Google up a serving of freedom folks, but you can damned sure be distracted by the latest gadgetry and dumbed down by the latest thing in government controlled education. I have heard it said that in fifty years, anyone who can accurately work math problems in their head, read and write in cursive or read a compass and map will be thought to have superhuman powers. I believe it. All of this geewhiz techno crap can fail us people and then where will we be? I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and fun holiday weekend in celebration of our nation’s independence. Your assignment for next year is to make sure you, and more importantly, your kids, know what it is all about. It wouldn’t hurt to teach them cursive, either. Oh, and if it’s not too much trouble, could someone please let me know how things went in Stalinist Germany, I am truly dying to know.
cision to leave the UN (United Nations). The younger population of Britain voted against leaving the UN, but the older generation voted to leave. It was an extremely close race, but the vote to leave won. The British people will decide for the first time in 40 years on June 23 whether they will leave the European Union (EU), and the consequences of
their decision will have an impact far beyond Britain’s shores. Since the vote was called, the current Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, said that he would step down from his position in October and would not put Brexit into full action. The process for the UK’s withdrawal is uncertain under EU law, although it is generally expected to take at
least two years. Article 50, which governs the withdrawal, has never been used before. The timing for leaving under the article is a strict two years, although extensions are possible once Britain gives an official notice, but no official notice seems likely to be forthcoming until after a new British Prime Minister is selected later in 2016. The assump-
tion is that during the two year window new agreements may be negotiated, but there is no requirement that there be new agreements. British Prime Minister David Cameron announced he will resign by October, while the First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon has said that Scotland might refuse consent for legislation required to leave the EU.

Financial Focus: What is an IRA?
By Chase Caudill I’m sure most of you have heard the term IRA or Retirement Account or Roth IRA. Along with that, most people think an IRA is only able to be invested in a bank CD. There are many differences between a Roth IRA and a Regular or Traditional IRA and there
are many ways you can invest the money you put into these retirement accounts. Let’s start with explaining a little bit about a Regular or Traditional IRA. This is a vehicle the IRS allows a taxpayer who has earned income to be able to save money for retirement. For 2016, you are allowed to contribute up to $5,500 if you are under 50 years old or $6,500 if you are 50 years old and up. When you make a deposit in your IRA, you will receive a tax deduction when you file your taxes. That is one of the advantages of a Traditional IRA. Along with the tax deduction, your money will grow tax deferred, which means you don’t
pay any taxes on it until you take it out. The thinking behind the IRA is that when you retire, you will be in a lower income tax bracket than when you make the contribution. Plus, your money grew all those years without any taxes having to be paid on it, which means it gives you more money to grow for you over time. There are several rules associated with a Regular IRA. If you take any money out of your IRA before you’re 59 ½ years old, you are penalized 10% for the amount you take out, plus you have to pay taxes on the amount you take out. When you contribute to your IRA, you need to make sure you can keep it until you reach 59 1/2. If
not, then you lose a lot of money you will need when you are ready to retire. Another rule specific to a Regular IRA is that when you turn 70 ½ years old, the IRS says, “Ok now you have to start taking some of this money out each year and paying some taxes back to us.” At this point you are no longer allowed to make new contributions and if you don’t take the money out each year, you are penalized 50 percent of the amount you were supposed to take. There are many different rules and exceptions to these retirement vehicles. This article is just meant to give you a broad understanding of how they work. Another type of IRA is
called a Roth IRA. This is where it gets a little confusing. With a Roth IRA, you can make the same contribution amount each year as you can in a Traditional IRA, but your money goes in after taxes and you don’t get a tax deduction for the contribution. Your money still grows tax deferred, but the biggest difference is when you take your money out when you turn 59 1/2, you don’t pay any taxes on anything you take out. Roth IRA’s are more beneficial for younger people who have a long time for their money to compound and grow or if you’re in one of the lower income tax brackets. Or maybe you’re in a higher tax bracket and just like the idea of not paying taxes when you take it out. Each person’s situation is different and there’s no one size fits all when it with a virus. Also, don’t be comes to determining fooled by emails request- which IRA is better for ing personal information. Such messages are typically sent by fraudulent people masquerading as legitimate businesses, such as credit card companies looking to “verify” account information. Keep personal belongings out of sight: Be mindful of personal items and information at all times. Shred mail that contains ac606-789-3636 count numbers, and store checks and bank account paperwork and files where they can’t be seen. Avoid logging on to personal accounts in public and when your sensitive information might be visible to others. Theft can be scary, and anytime personal belongings or information is stolen, it can make a person feel violated. Start taking steps to better safeguard your personal data. Paul Pelphrey, Agent
How to protect yourself from theft
Anyone who has had their home broken into or been the victim of identity theft understands just how unsettling it can be to have their privacy invaded. To think that a stranger has rooted through your stuff may be even more upsetting than losing the stolen items. Data from various sources, including the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, points to identity theft as one of the fastest-growing crimes in the United States. Approximately 15 million U.S. residents have their identities used fraudulently each year, with financial losses totalling upwards of $50 billion. Perhaps thanks to the prevalence of Webbased accounts and transactions, as well as reliance on digital services, identity fraud and other types of theft have increased in frequency. According to a 2013 report from Javelin Strategy & Research, an in-
cident of identity fraud occurs every three seconds. Just about any individual or business is vulnerable to an identity/data attack. It’s crucial that individuals and businesses take steps to protect themselves from identity theft and other forms of theft. Limit sharing on social media: Many people have no qualms about posting personal data via social networking sites, even though they aren’t taking the precautions necessary to keep that information safe. Always keep your privacy settings at the highest level, and never share sensitive personal information such as your birth date, address or financial information. Invest in security software: Invest in or upgrade your spyware and security applications. In addition, install any security updates authorized by your operating system or the apps you

use. Create strong passwords: Skip those easy passwords that just about anyone who knows a little about you can guess. Instead, choose complex passwords that feature a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Many passwords are case sensitive, so use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters as well. Use only secured wi-fi networks: Avoid sharing personal information when using unsecured networks, such as those available at restaurants or coffee shops. It’s easy for someone to hack into your accounts when they don’t have to go through firewalls and other security features. Exercise caution with email: Opening emails or clicking on attachments and links could initiate spyware, and doing so may even infect your computer

you. The one other thing people misunderstand about IRA’s is how they can be invested. For years most people have thought the only investment option for IRA’s is a bank CD. This is most certainly not true. You can have you IRA’s invested in stocks, bonds, gold, mutual funds, annuities, etc. It’s actually easier to tell you what you can’t invest in. For retirement vehicles, you need to be invested in something that will grow significantly for you over time. We will have to save that discussion for a later date.

Johnson Co. 14U softball win state Advance to Ohio Valley Region
The 14u team in Johnson County Babe Ruth softball captured the Kentucky State Tournament last weekend (June 30-July 3) in Louisville. The team finished with a 4-2 record as they knocked off host Fern Creek 4-2 in the final game on Sunday July 3. Lindsay Stambaugh pitched all six games for Johnson County- 2 games each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. She was on the bump for all but two outs in the entire tournament. In the final game, Stambaugh held Fern Creek to six hits and two runs to claim the state title. She struck out three and walked one. Fern Creek got a run in the first and one more in the fifth. The game was knotted 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning when Audrianna Pierce walked and scored and Savannah Holbrook singled and scored. Skylar Waszil and Alaina Castle provided base hits to put JC in the lead. JC had scored twice in the second inning. Ali Jude and Morgan Williams singled and scored. Pierce knocked in a run. Vyctoria Runyon also had a hit in the win. Johnson County played Fern Creek four times during the tournament winning the championship and beating them in the finals of the winner’s bracket. Both times Fern Creek defeated JC they had one huge inning with a barrage of runs. Fern Creek forced a final game by defeating JC in the first title game in the double elimination format. Fern Creek won 17-5 scoring 11 runs in the top of the seventh to stretch out a 6-5
game. Stambaugh and Castle scored two runs each for Johnson County. Waszil scored the other run. The game was tied up at 5-5 after four innings. But Fern Creek prevailed with that big rally at the end to force a final game. The big game of the tournament came in the finals of the winner’s bracket when Johnson County beat Fern Creek 10-7 on Saturday July 2. This win put Johnson County in the championship where a team had to come back through the loser’s bracket and beat JC twice. Stambaugh fanned four batters and walked one in the win. Four of the seven runs she allowed were unearned as JC committed four errors. JC used a five run sixth inning to break a 5-5 tie and lead 10-5. Stambaugh, Castle, Emily Conley and Runyon each had a hit and scored. Pierce walked and scored. JC scored three times in the fourth as Jude, Sydney Pinson and Williams each reached base and scored. Stambaugh and Castle each had a hit and scored both runs in the third inning. Emily Conley drove in both runs. Johnson County downed Okolona (Louisville) in their semifinal matchup that Saturday in bracket play by a 5-3 tally. All three runs were unearned allowed by Stambaugh. She struck out four and allowed just one hit and one walk. Three JC errors allowed the three runs by Okolona. After Conley singled and scored on a Runyon base hit in the first inning, the JC All Stars scored four

The JC All Stars went 1-1 in pool play on Friday (July 1) which gave them a No. 2 seed in bracket play. They lost to Fern Creek 15-7 after allowing 13 first inning runs.

Get the most out of P.E. classes School gives students a chance to learn and grow. During the course of their academic careers, students explore many different subjects, hopefully finding at least one that inspires them to one day pursue rewarding careers. Physical education is one subject that is often overlooked. Gym class may seem like just a fun elective, but the importance of physical education cannot be understated, especially as so many youngsters struggle to maintain healthy weights. Physical education can help children live healthier, more
fulfilling lives, benefitting them in ways that go beyond their waistlines. • Improved health and stamina: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that only 29 percent of high school students are getting the recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that young people between the ages six and 17 should get at least an hour of physical activity each day. Physical education classes can help students meet or exceed those physical activity rec-
ommendations. • Creates a love for sports: Gym class exposes students to various athletic activities, encouraging them to dabble in different sports. That opportunity may expose young children to a sport they will embrace and play for the rest of their lives. • Improved academic performance: A large-scale study of 12,000 Nebraska schoolchildren published in The Journal of Pediatrics found that physical fitness could be linked to improved academic performance
their final at bat. Stambaugh struck out the final two batters and left the bases loaded to secure the win. She walked three batters in the game all in the final inning. Castle had three hits and
scored two runs. Conley had two hits and scored twice. Runyon and Pinson each reached base two times. Williams and Waszil scored the other two JC runs. The Johnson County All

Kinzer competes in Bob Miller Memorial, Born Free 40 ALLEN – The Kinzer Motorsports team traveled to 201 Speedway in Sitka and Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana Friday-Saturday for a pair of unsanctioned special events. On Friday at 201 Speedway, the annual Bob Miller Memorial was held with a $10,000-to-win top prize. Floyd County native Brandon Kinzer locked down the ninth-quickest lap overall during the qualifying session prior to grabbing
the fourth transfer spot through his heat race. After starting the 50-lap headliner from the outside of the sixth row, Kinzer moved up inside of the top 10 before suffering terminal problems under the hood near the halfway mark. The race mishap dropped Kinzer to 18th in the final finishing order. At Brownstown’s legendary 1/4-mile oval on Saturday, a $5,000 top prize was on the line in the 2nd Annual Born Free 40.
Kinzer clicked off the fifthfastest time in his group during qualifying and later placed fifth in his heat race. The Lexington-based driver then rolled off 15th in the 40-lap main event. Kinzer, however, quickly made his way up to sixth in the running order. Unfortunately for the veteran Late Model driver his soft tire combination faded late. Kinzer eventually slipped back in the field to finish 10th.
Eagle Ridge Golf League news League Results Bill Jackson Amazingly, after the tornado (?) on Monday and a downpour on Tuesday, we played On Independence Day this is what came over Meadowbrook before hitting Walmart. This picture was taken by my son-inlaw, Todd Norton, from Spencer and Gretchen Harris’ driveway. I have heard that it was not a tornado, but looking at it, though the eyes of a neophyte like me, it certainly appears to be a tornado. After the torrential rains we suffered through the last several days, I was certain we were not going to play on Tuesday night, especially since when I
started loading my car at 3 p.m., another hard rain arrived. Back into the house I came, looked for an email cancelling the league, but it never arrived. About 4 p.m., I started to the course. I was not the first to arrive at the course, but I certainly was not the last. Players continued to come much later than usual. Not much activity on the driving range and I went to the putting green for about 5-minutes and off we went. Surprisingly, although it was cart path only, the course had drained exceedingly well, and there was no standing water anywhere on the course. The fairways were damp but not wet, and the greens were much faster than one
would think. Of course, they were slower than last week. I did not see any damage at all to the golf course. It was important that this round was played. It is time for the recalculation of handicaps and the tallying of points so all the players can examine how the league race is measuring up for the championship. I will give that data after we recap Tuesday’s results. The following are Tuesday, July 5 results: Scores Low Net Score (35) Troy Hughes Tie {Mike Hogan Low Gross Score (38) Troy Hughes Longest Drive (#4) Sam
Sumpter Fewest Putts (13) Troy Hughes Skills Competition Closest to the pin, 2nd shot (#2) Troy Hughes Longest Putt (#18) None Par 3, Closest to pin (#3) Sam Sumpter Par 3, Closest to pin (#17) Sam Sumpter Greens in Regulation (3) Troy Hughes Skins None Now for a recap of the league standings: Point Leaders The point leaders for the league championship after 12-weeks of play are as follows: Name Points Charlie Curnutte 38.00 Bill England 38.00 Troy Hughes 38.00
Sam Sumpter 37.50 Tom Copley 37.00 Dan Preece 37.00 Hang on! Looking at the standings, it is a horse race, and it will only get tighter.
Three other players are two points or less behind the leaders. See you next week at the course. Bill Jackson

Local News How to save on school supplies Back to school season can be as expensive for parents as it is exciting for students. Once the initial letdown of the end of summer vacation wears off, many kids are excited to return to school, where they can see their friends, study their favorite subjects and participate in extracurricular activities. Parents of schoolaged youngsters may share in that excitement while also knowing that back to school season can stretch their budgets. One of the ways to salvage those budgets is to save on school supplies. Fortunately, there are several ways parents can do just that. • Be patient. Shopping early can save shoppers money in many instances, but parents may benefit by exercising patience when it comes to buying school supplies for their children. Teachers often give students lists of supplies they will need for each class, and parents who wait to receive such lists can avoid spending money on items their kids won’t need. Even if you wait it out, you may be able to get a head start, as some teachers may post supply lists on school websites, while others might email lists to parents before back to school season hits full swing. • Take inventory. If you have more than one child, chances are you already have lots of school supplies around the house. Dust off kids’ backpacks and study areas from last school year to determine which supplies you need to buy and which you already have. Going forward, encourage kids to store their supplies

in a predetermined area once the school year ends, as this will make next year’s inventory that much easier to examine and assess. • Spend more now to save later. While inexpensive supplies can be hard to resist, such items likely won’t withstand the test of time, forcing you to spend time and money each year buying replacement supplies. Paying more now for certain items, including stronger backpacks and more highly rated calculators, may end up saving you money in the long run, even if the initial pill is somewhat tough to swallow. • Use technology to your advantage. Department stores and businesses that sell school supplies, such as pharmacies and office stores, may or may not discount too many items once back to school season hits full swing. But savvy parents can still find deals by using technology to their advantage when shopping for school supplies. Download apps like RetailMeNot to your smartphone and enable its updates so your phone essentially notifies you of any discounts the moment you walk into a given store. If you don’t receive any updates, search for discounts via the app or the Internet as you shop. Chances
are strong that there are deals to be had, even if you don’t learn of the deals until you arrive at the store. School supplies can be expensive, but parents can employ several strategies to save on school supplies now and in the future.

At Home The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley Back-to-school for the kiddos will be here before we know it! With that being said, I want to give ya’ll some deliciously easy one dish dinner options to try out before school is back in session. These recipes are so easy that it’s basically like you’re cheating dinner, but cheating would be going through a drive-thru. Sometimes it’s okay to cheat, but making meals at home is way cheaper and a lot tastier. Today, I’m sharing two one dish dinner options. Simply put them in the oven and crack open a can of green beans or peas as a side. Also, if you end up with leftovers place them in freezer bags and store in the fridge
for another day! There will be days you’ll be more than thankful that those leftovers are there for your convenience. Chicken & Rice Casserole 5 or 6 chicken breasts, split and salted 1 can cream of chicken soup 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 can cream of celery soup 3 cans water 1-1/4 cup rice (uncooked) 1 stick of butter Melt butter, add soups and rice. Put in casserole dish. Place chicken parts on top. Bake for 1 hour at 350.
Busy? Try these ‘go to’ recipes Sausage Noodle Bake 1 lb. sausage (or ground beef or combination of both) 1/4 cup onion 1 cup mushroom soup 3/4 cup evaporated milk 1/3 of the soup can, water 1 cup grated American cheese 2 cups cooked noodles, drained 1/3 cup crushed crackers 1 T melted butter Cut or chop sausage into small pieces. Put onions and sausage in skillet and brown over low heat. Spoon off all fat but 1 T dripping. Stir into skillet a mixture of soup, milk, water, cheese and noodles. Pour into greased baking dish. Sprinkle with buttered crackers. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until crumbs are brown.
Master magical marinades Grilled foods boast inviting flavors that put many diners on the lookout for second helpings. Quite often the magic behind grilled meals lies in the marinade used to give foods that flavorful kick. Marinades can be used to enhance the flavor of meats, vegetables and poultry. While marinades add flavor, they also may be responsible for some other benefits in grilled foods. Marinades add flavor Defined as a savory acidic sauce in which food is soaked to enrich its fla-
vor, marinades help break down fiber and tenderize certain foods. The base of many marinades include vinegar, lemon juice or wine and marinades can be enhanced with spices, oil and herbs. It’s important not to let foods sit in marinades for too long, as any alcohol, acid or salt in the mixture can chemically “cook” the food in a process known as “denaturing.” Adhere to timing recommendations when using store-bought marinades, and keep such guidelines in mind when using homemade mari-
nades as well. Many may tell you to let foods sit no longer than four hours. Marinades with citrus juices may require even less time for flavor to penetrate. It’s important to always marinate foods in the refrigerator. Food left sitting out on a counter — even when it’s in a marinade — invites the growth of bacteria. If a recipe calls for marinating at room temperature, continue to marinate in the refrigerator, but extend the length of time you marinate. This helps to prevent foodborne illnesses.
Nikki’s quick chicken and rice casserole recipe is a busy mom’s best friend.
Homemade ice cream makes for the perfect summer treat Ice cream is synonymous with summer, when rising temperatures and vacations from school and work call for some refreshing celebration. Those who want to experiment with homemade ice cream may want to consider the following recipe for “Dulce de Leche Ice Cream” from Lou Seibert Pappas’ “Ice Creams and Sorbets” (Chronicle Books). Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Makes about 1 quart 2 cups half-and-half or milk 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup sugar 12 ounces butterscotch chips, divided 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Prepare a large bowl or
pan of ice water. In the top of a double boiler, heat the half-and-half over simmering water until steaming. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended, then whisk in the sugar. Whisk in about half of the hot half-and-half and pour the yolk mixture into the pan of half-andhalf. Stir with a silicone spatula or spoon and cook over simmering water for about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the chips and continue stirring until blended in and the custard coats the back of the spatula, about 2 minutes more. Immediately place the custard pan in the ice bath and stir the custard occasionally until it cools to room temperature. Transfer to a container and
stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the remaining 1 cup chips and churn until blended in, about 15 seconds more. Transfer to a container, cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
