Tinseltown Talks

By Nick Thomas

Approaching 104, Connie Sawyer still eyeing roles While she never achieved the box officebusting stardom of big celebrities, Connie Sawyer worked alongside many including Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and, more recently, a slew of today’s hottest actors.

In 1994, she taught Jim Carrey a lesson in “Dumb and Dumber.”

She shared an elevator with George Clooney in “Out of Sight” in 1998, and a decade later appeared in “Pineapple Express” with James Franco. Two years ago, the year she turned 102, she played Matt LeBlanc’s grandma in “Lovesick.”

“I call those young guys my boyfriends and have pictures of them on the door when you come into my little cottage,” said Ms. Sawyer from her home at the Motion Picture & Television retirement facility in Woodland Hills, California.

“They were all just so lovely to me,” recalled Sawyer, who turns 104 in November. “We were on location for ‘Lovesick’ in a rugged mountain area not far from where I live. My dressing room was next to Matt’s and whenever he heard me getting ready to come down the stairs he’d race out of his room to help me before an assistant could even get there. He was such a gentleman and gave me a goodbye kiss on the cheek when I left.”

Despite her age, Sawyer’s film career only dates back to the late 1950s.

“I started out in the 30s in vaudeville and later in nightclubs all over the country doing a comedy act – little routines telling stories and doing parodies rather than just jokes,” she said. “In the 1950s I was an understudy on Broadway, and then got a part in ‘A Hole in the Head.’ Frank Sinatra liked the play and bought the rights for the movie.”

As executive producer, Sinatra wanted Sawyer to revive her small role for the big screen.

“I played an elegant lady who goes out on the town each night and comes back to her hotel a little loaded!” she explained.

Arriving a day early to size up the set layout for shooting, Sawyer bumped into a little guy in a baseball cap roaming the set.

“I figured he was cleaning up the place,” she laughed. “I told him I just wanted to see where I’d be doing my shtick. He suggested on the staircase, which I said sounded fine, then asked why he cared. He turned out to be Frank Capra, the director!”

As she left for her cousins’ home, the director offered Connie a ride, which she gladly accepted.

“On the way, I told

him how my cousins were star crazy but they didn’t think much of me as an actress because I’d been mostly an understudy. So I asked him to walk me up to the door.

Cousin Doris screamed to her sister, Annie, when I introduced Capra. They asked him in for a drink, but he had to get home. However, from then on, my cousins considered me quite the star!”

Modest roles continued to come her way, including bit parts with John Denver in “Oh, God!” (1977), and in the hanging scene of Wayne’s “True Grit” (1969).

“We didn’t have a scene together, but he was a pistol,” she says of Wayne. “He was a staunch Republican and I’m a loyal Democrat. He used to call me ‘Momma’ and would say ‘Hey Momma, come over and have lunch with me – I’m going to make you into a Republican.’ I’d say ‘No, you’re not!’ and we’d laugh. I was only on the set for a week, but it was a thrill to meet him.”

Despite never reaching that big star status, Sawyer happily still receives residuals from her roles with no regrets about her career.

“On the whole, it’s been a good one considering I began in nightclub dumps,” she said.

“Frankie (Sinatra) told me ‘Never give up and you’ll always find a

Left, Sawyer today; and right, in younger days. good part somewhere, sometime.’ And I did. I have many stories and they will be in my autobiography which I’ve completed and am now looking for a publisher.”

And if another acting offer came her way today, would she take it?

“Oh sure, I’d consider it,” she responded. “I go on auditions, but I don’t get as many as I used to!”

Now a 12-year resident of the Motion Picture & Television home, Sawyer says she couldn’t be happier.

“We’ve got actors, actresses, directors, and prop men here. I love it. There are so many activities here and I do them all. It’s like a summer resort.”

Although she suffers from a little hearing loss and is slowed with mobility issues, she remains remarkably alert and charmingly feisty.

Sawyer had a role in 2008’s “Pineapple Express.”

And when pressed for the secret of long life, she responds with characteristic candor: “Just get off your tuchus and keep moving.”

Editorial The Common Tater By John Sparks

Bearing arms in Christian America

Part Two If ever a family man needed a dependable firearm, it was in backwoods, upcountry mid-1700s North Carolina. The colony’s Royal Governor had just opened the area to settlement for an influx of Scots and Scots-Irish immigrants, and besides forests full of bear and panther, the Cherokee were only a few miles further west and colonial relations with them were volatile. But dangerous though things were, wild beasts and warriors weren’t the backwoods families’ only worries. They earned very little hard money, raising most of what they lived

on and acquiring much of the rest by barter with neighbors, but they still had to pay taxes in coin to their county sheriffs—and it’s doubtful one could find a crookeder set of “good ol’ boys” anywhere. Even Governor William Tryon admitted that his upcountry sheriffs were among the worst embezzlers he had ever seen, and if they could successfully cheat the Governor himself we can only imagine their treatment of small farmers when they wanted to seize land for themselves. Upcountry North Carolina small landowners were truly between a rock and a hard place.

On, then, to the first American instance of gun control. About 1768 several upcountry farmers organized a “Regulation” to oppose the land-stealing of the sheriffs. At first these “Regulators” didn’t rebel against Governor Tryon, much less King George; they only demanded fair treatment and equable taxation from their county officials, and referred to themselves as “Tories.” But then the agitator Herman Husbands got involved with the movement. You’ll remember Husbands and the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion from last week’s column: he had himself convinced that the Second Coming would occur in colonial America, complete with the Holy City descending, and in order to realize this dream he was entirely willing to incite his listeners to his own hysteria—and their own violence. After Husbands joined the Regulation, his Doomsday predictions increasingly turned the group anarchic and savage.

Luckily, Husbands wasn’t the only upcountry religious voice. Baptists

there were in plenty, and their leader, old Elder Shubal Stearns, whose musical pulpit style is still copied throughout Southern Appalachia today, was a pacifist strictly opposed to any anti-government violence. Among his younger preachers was Elijah Craig, also mentioned last week, and Elnathan Davis, whom Stearns likewise closely shepherded in the ministry, was moderator of a large church on Haw River. In 1769 Davis’ congregation passed a resolution that any member taking up arms against the standing government should be excluded from fellowship.

Regulation response was swift: Regulators promptly invaded the homes of every Haw River Church member, including Davis, and confiscated their rifles and muskets. One assumes they rationalized disarming their opponents, but the fact remains that the Regulators enacted the very first, and for years the only, recorded instance of gun control in American history. Ironically, once the American Revolution began, Regula-

tor tales mixed with those of the Revolution and nowadays these gun thieves are often lionized as pre-Revolutionary patriots.

The Regulator anarchy couldn’t last. After Husbands’ listeners destroyed the town of Hillsboro and burned Superior Court Justice Richard Henderson’s barn and stables (the same man for whom Daniel Boone was then exploring Kentucky), Governor Tryon led an army west and defeated them at the Battle of Alamance Creek in May 1771. Afterward there was heartbreak to spare. Five Regulator leaders were hanged, the majority of Shubal Stearns’ Baptists simply gave up trying to live in North Carolina and went further west to Tennessee, southwestern Virginia, and ultimately Kentucky, and that fall Stearns himself died—possibly of grief. Herman Husbands ran like a turkey to Pennsylvania just before the Battle of Alamance, saving his own skin while his hearers fell on the battlefield and died on the gallows. One wonders how

Here and There, Then and Now By Joe Weddington

My old rocking chair

I was thinking of the last time I visited with my Grandmother Helen Sexton Weddington. We walked across the bottom at Emma, Ky., to go to church. I was 14 and she had just had her 79th birthday and it was sort of warm out for January, maybe in the fifties.

The church bell was ringing as we approached and twice she admonished me to not “walk so big” and outdistance her. They really “went to church” back then for Methodists and I remember everyone singing Amazing Grace and

walking around shaking hands with one another.

We sat in a pew that bore her name and that of my Grandfather’s on a plaque at the end.

After church, we went over to visit my Great Aunt Ruth, my Uncle Jake Weddington’s widow, who continued to run the old barn wood rough lumber-sided store there in Emma, Weddington Grocery, which was located next to the post office. The store was sort of the community center for Emma, complete with an ancient pot-bellied stove

Student Essays By Sydney Becknell Many people complain about the existence of junkyards. They compile lots of pollution in one general area and slowly decompose over time. This can corrupt the soil and the area that they are around.

Some junkyards are burnt and the pollutants from the trash are released into the air. The history of these

trash yards are fairly uncommon to the public.

A wrecking yard, scrapyard or junkyard is the location of a business in dismantling where wrecked or decommissioned vehicles are brought, their usable parts are sold for use in operating vehicles, while the unusable metal parts, known as scrap metal

which was always stoked with coal on a cold day and everyone came there to have a cold Nehi and sit around the stove on chairs and benches just to visit with one another and catch up or share the latest gossip.

There were three political signs perpetually displayed there ... A poster for Happy Chandler’s 1963 bid for Governor, one for local boy Frank Leslie’s run for Sheriff in the mid-seventies and one for my Dad’s current competition for State Senate.

After a while we went back home and Granny spent the afternoon frying chicken and making cornbread, fried potatoes and green beans with sweet tea which we had for an early supper with my Aunt Flo and my Mom and Dad who had came to pick me up as I had school the following day.

Eastern Kentucky weather is what it is and what it always was, temperatures

dropped into the twenties as it snowed during the next few days and school was called off. On the weekend I was at the farm with Dad and the phone rang. I answered it and it was my Aunt Flo’s friend Patsy Horn. I could hear Flo screaming in the background, “Oh, please no, not my Mommy!” Dad took the old slimline rotary dial phone from me and spoke quietly. After a few minutes he hung up and said “Mommy is dead.” I was shocked into silence.

We went to Emma in Dad’s blue and black 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief and found Granny lying in the kitchen floor before the stove where she had been cooking. Daddy and his cousin picked her up and laid her on the bed in the next room and I sat in the kitchen where Dad and I ate the final meal she had prepared. Fried chicken again, cornbread, fried potatoes and Brussels sprouts.

I remember Daddy saying “That’s the last of Maw’s cooking.” It was a simple meal but my gosh, it was so good.

It was snowing when we buried her a few days later. I remember my cousin Lynda Weddington Weeks being stuck up to her knees in mud beneath the snow at the foot of the hill at the cemetery that overlooks my grandparents home.

Vehicles could not make it up the hill and the casket had to be carried up by hand. One of the pallbearers, Dad’s business partner Bob Vanhoose, had to be taken down to the house to lie down as he was exhausted from the effort.

It was “Aunt Flo’s House” after that and Flo’s husband Bill Cooley lives there to this very day but to me it will always be Granny and Granddaddy’s house.

Marna and I went to visit Bill a while back and I still feel them all there, Aunt Flo and Dad too, both now

much Husbands’ fate in the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion involved karma, but old Preacher Stearns probably would have quoted Galatians 6:7 : “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Even more sadly, the questions raised by the Regulators’ actions are still disputed. Would any God-and-Liberty-mouthing paramilitary “patriot” group in America today act differently than the Regulators if they managed to seize power—up to and including confiscating firearms from citizens who opposed them? And after all this time, haven’t we had our fill of Doomsday predictions by lunatics claiming a direct line between God’s voice and their ears?

Apparently, not enough people think so. And I fear that before it’s all over we’ll relearn a hard lesson our Carolina ancestors took to heart more than two centuries ago.

Next week, I’ll try to wind up this issue with something closer home and, hopefully, a little more cheerful.

buried upon the hill by their parents.

So here it is that I am the age I think my Dad should be and in the hours before Marna wakes up, I am so happy and content to just sit here on our porch at Nippa, enjoying a strong glass of iced tea and rocking (a little too big) in the green 1920s rocker of my Grandfather, W.H. “Harry” Weddington’s that spent most of its life on a front porch twenty or so miles up the river. On the right arm is an indentation where my Dad cracked walnuts with a hammer as a boy, on the left, marks cut by my Grandfather with an old Barlow pocket knife, one each for every week that Dad and his older brother Harry were off fighting in World War II, and yet a separate set of marks denotes baby brother Herb’s time in Korea.

No matter where I am living, this old rocker makes me feel closer to all of them and I am at home.

Junkyards parts, are sold to metal-recycling companies. Other terms include wreck yard, wrecker’s yard, salvage yard, breakers yard, dismantler and scrapheap. In the United Kingdom, car salvage yards are known as car breakers, while motorcycle salvage yards are known as bike breakers.

In Australia, they are often referred to as “Wreckers,” A scrapyard is a recycling center that buys and sells scrap metal. Scrapyards are effectively a scrap metal brokerage. Scrap yards typically buy any base

metal; for example, iron, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, and lead would all be found at a modern-day scrapyard.

Scrapyards will often buy electronics, appliances, and metal vehicles. Scrapyards will sell their accumulations of metals either to refineries or larger scrap brokers.

Metal theft is committed so thieves can sell stolen copper or other stolen valuable metals to scrapyards.

Many salvage yards operate on a local level—when an automobile is severely

damaged, has malfunctioned beyond repair, or not worth the repair, the owner may sell it to a junkyard; in some cases—as when the car has become disabled in a place where derelict cars are not allowed to be left— the car owner will pay the wrecker to haul the car away. Salvage yards also buy most of the wrecked, derelict and abandoned vehicles that are sold at auction from police impound storage lots, and often buy vehicles from insurance tow yards, as well. The salvage yard will usually tow

the vehicle from the location of its purchase to the yard, but occasionally vehicles are driven in. At the salvage yard the automobiles are typically arranged in rows, often stacked on top of one another. Some yards keep inventories in their offices, as to the usable parts in each car, as well as the car’s location in the yard. Many yards have computerized inventory systems. About 75 percent of any given vehicle can be recycled and used for other goods.

Outdoor Living By Wm. Wade Smith @wadesmith007 on Twitter

The Camo Chronicles It’s never too soon to get educated about hunting safety. And in Kentucky, it’s the law.

Take time this Summer to get prepared for the fall by taking or volunteering for Hunter Safety classes. Here is what the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife has to say via their website: Hunter Education Requirement Effective March 1, 1991, all hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, shall while hunting carry a valid hunter education course completion card in addition to the appropriate Kentucky hunting license. A bow hunter not in possession of a firearm may carry a “National Bowhunter Education Program” course completion card in lieu of the hunter education card.

Get Hunter Education Certified There are three ways to get certified in hunter education: Take the entire traditional course at a loca-

tion near you.

Take the course online either at http:// www.hunter-ed.com/ kentucky or http://hunteredcourse.com/state/ Kentucky.

Take the course by CD-ROM - Please call 800-858-1549 FREE ext. 4404 to request a copy of the CD-ROM by mail.

If you took the course either online or by CDROM, you must complete the course by finding a Range Day. Hunter Education Volunteer Instructor Becoming certified as a Hunter Education Instructor is a great way to insure the continuation of Kentucky’s hunting tradition. Every year over 15,000 Kentucky citizens learn about safe and ethical hunting by participating in the ten (10) hour Kentucky Hunter Education Course.

On an average year from 800 to 1,000 Kentucky Hunter Education Instructors team up to teach around 400 individual cours-

Get your hunters education this summer and be prepared for this fall

es all over the state.

Subject matter for a Hunter Education course includes but is not limited to training in firearms, ammunition, first aid, survival in the outdoors, wildlife identification and management, and basic bowhunting. Students participate in classroom sessions and live fire field training with guns and archery tackle.

The twelve (12) hour Hunter Education Instructor Course will prepare participants to take an active part in this program.

The content of a typical instructor course includes Kentucky Hunter Education Policies and Procedures, practice teaching of classroom and range subjects, use of audio visual equipment, and a 100 question written test. You must have completed the ten (10) hour student course prior to taking the Instructor Course.

The program can always use a few more good men and women who are interested in insuring a future for hunting and shooting sports.

Temporary Hunter Education Exemption Permit The temporary hunt-

er education exemption permit allows a person to hunt for one year without first completing a hunter education course. The permit will be available online for a $5 fee and is available to both Kentucky residents and nonresidents. “License sales have been going down over the years, and we were looking for a solution to the problem,” said Bill Balda, hunter education supervisor for the Kentucky Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

“We want people to try hunting, to take advantage of Kentucky’s wildlife resources,” Bill Balda, KDFWR, said.

Kentucky’s hunter education law requires all license-required hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, to pass a hunter education course and carry the course completion card when hunting. However, hunters who have the new permit will be exempt from this law for one year from the date of purchase. “We made the permit effective for 12 months from the date of purchase, to give hunters an opportunity to try all the hunting opportunities Kentucky has to offer,” Balda said.

The permit is available only one time.

Once it expires, hunters are no longer exempt and must successfully complete a hunter education course.

Hunters who carry the permit must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult hunter at least 18 years old who meets the hunter education requirement.

The adult must remain in a position to take immediate control of the exempted hunter’s bow or firearm while hunting. Adult supervision is also required for all hunters under the age of 10, and for all firearm deer, elk and turkey hunters 15 and under. “We did not want the accident rate to go up,” Balda said. “Texas began a similar permit in 2004, and there was no increase in hunting incidents.”

Kids don’t have to take the course until they turn 12 years old, instead of the previous age of 10. Also, kids cannot take the hunter education test until they turn nine. During the three-year window between ages nine and 12, kids have many opportunities to take a course. More than 300 hunter education courses are scheduled throughout Kentucky each year.

Landowners who are hunting on their own

land, and other licenseexempt hunters, are not required to take a hunter education course. However, the course is strongly recommended. For complete information on hunter education, call 1-800-858-1549 FREE. Exceptions Children under 12 years of age may hunt without a course completion card, but shall be accompanied by an adult of at least 18 years of age. One adult shall not accompany more than two children at one time.

Persons exempt from buying a license are not required to possess a hunter education course completion card (i.e., resident owners of farmlands, tenants, etc.).

Learn to fish responsibly

Warm weather has arrived, and the welcoming temperatures are once again beckoning people to the great outdoors. Fishing is a popular warm weather pastime, and it’s important to take an environmentally responsible approach when fishing.

According to “Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them,”

by Ted Danson, in just 55 years, humans have been able to eradicate about 90 percent of the ocean’s top predators.

These include animals like sharks, marlin, king mackerel, and bluefin tuna. Smaller species also are being wiped out at alarming rates because fishing nets capture far more than is intended, and today’s fishing vessels can zero in on large schools of fish relatively easily. Thanks to global positioning technology and sonar capabilities, there’s no longer too much surprise in the chase.

Commercial fishing may do the brunt of the damage, but amateurs also can contribute to the contamination of waterways and decimation of fish species.

For example, the Mas-

sachusetts Department of Fish and Game says more than 500,000 bass die each year due to improper handling in Massachusetts alone.

People of different cultures have fished sustainably for decades, and most anyone can follow their guidelines — and some others — to help keep ocean life healthy.

• Disturb wildlife as little as possible. When traveling into delicate ecosystems, such as those that primarily surround the water’s edge, do so with care.

Operating a boat in shallow regions can chop up underwater vegetation or harm fish that live in the shallows. Don’t remove crustaceans or take plants or other wildlife out of the area.

• Keep track of gear.

Discarded or lost fishing gear can prove harmful to wildlife. It’s easy for fish or other marine animals to get tangled in fishing line and hooks that were left behind by fishermen. Sinkers and other weights may be mistaken for food and injure unsuspecting animals. Even animals like ducks and other birds can swallow fish-

Be mindful of your fishing practices to protect coastal ecosystems and waterways. ing tackle, which can lead to illness or starvation. Don’t just abandon gear.

• Fish specific species at different times.

Fishing specific species helps maintain different stocks of fish at various times of the year.

Plus, you’ll help guarantee that one species will not be over-fished, potentially leading to

underpopulation or extinction.

• Avoid the use of cast nets or dragnets.

Cast nets or dragnets can capture too many fish, including ones that you did not intend to take in.

Responsible fishing can help maintain water ecosystems and protect the surrounding environment.

“I also am a board member of the Remote Area Medical Kentucky affiliate. I also take water color classes from Janice LeBrun. I think that’s about it,” she said in accessing how her life has been.

Her life also includes the love of nature and specifically this time of year, butterflies.

“I have been a Master Gardener since taking the course in 2006.

“I started gardening by trial and error. I would watch the Victory Garden on PBS every Sunday afternoon and actually take notes.

“This was early on before Greenup County had a Master Gardener program. I would also pick up garden books and started my own reference library. Once the program was started in Greenup I signed up and learned so much more.

“I developed my love of gardening as a child following my grandfather Raymond Stevens of Russell around his garden.

He was an avid rose grower.

“As a child I have a very tiny veggie garden next to our garage in Russell. I helped my grandfather deadhead his roses and generally got in his way,” she explained with a laugh.

“I continue to read books and magazines on gardening and pick the brain of other gardeners. Linda Hieneman our Ag. Agent has been a great

source of information as well teacher.

“By reading and also picking up on shows like the Victory Garden is how I came to learn about the plight of the Monarch butterflies, their loss of habitat, etc and the Monarch Watch organization.

“When available I will go to seminars etc. I did so last spring and learned more about the Monarchs.”

This ties into her interest and activities with the Master Gardeners group.

“The Master Gardeners are a small group but we are involved in some community projects.

“We developed and maintain the flower garden at the Greenup County War Memorial. We received tulip bulbs from around the state capitol buildings through Tanya Pullin and planted them at the War Memorial, the Veterans Cemetery, the Extension office and

at the memorial in front of the old Russell Depot.

“We are trying to get a Monarch Waystation garden started on the Extension property but have had some problems getting it going due to water issues and such.

Help kids get ready for fall sports Summer is a season of relaxation, especially for school-aged children who are not yet old enough to work.

Such youngsters no doubt enjoy the chance to spend summer days lounging poolside or at the beach, all without a care in the world or any homework to complete.

Though summer is synonymous with R&R, parents of young athletes who hope to compete in scholastic athletics when the school year begins in autumn may need to take steps to ensure their kids aren’t at risk of injury once the curtain comes up on fall sports season.

• Examine and replace equipment if necessary. The right equipment can protect kids from injury and help them realize their full athletic potential.

But damaged or outdated equipment can increase kids’ risk of injury. Examine kids’ equipment long before fall sports season begins so you have time to bargain hunt should anything need to be replaced.

• Schedule a physical for your child. Many school districts mandate that athletes receive and pass physicals before they can compete. Speak with the athletic director at your child’s school to learn the guidelines that govern athletic physicals. The physical will need to be conducted by a predetermined date, but you may also need the physical to be conducted after a certain date for it to be considered valid.

Speak with your child’s physician if any problems are found during the physical.

• Let kids heal. Kids’ schedules are busier than ever before, and many youngsters play several sports during the school year. Summer vacation may be the only extended period all year that youngsters’ bodies get to heal.

While it’s important that kids stay physically active throughout the summer, make sure they don’t overdo it, as you should emphasize the importance of rest.

• Gradually get back in the swing of things.

While rest gives kids’ bodies a chance to heal and develop, it’s important that young athletes stay in shape over the summer. As the fall sports season draws near, help kids gradually get back in the swing of things.

Tryouts tend to be physically demanding, so kids who have not lifted a finger all summer may be at risk of injury or missing the cut. Let kids ease back into regular exercise to make sure they are not starting from scratch come their first tryout.

• Speak with coaches. Coaches can be great assets to parents who want to make sure their youngsters enjoy the summer without sacrificing their chances of making the team in the fall. Speak with kids’ coaches to determine if there is any area your son or daughter can work on over the summer to improve his or her chances of making the team.

Make sure kids are

the ones leading the charge to improve their games; otherwise, they may feel pressured into doing so and that can take away the fun of playing sports.

Scholastic athletes should take advantage of the opportunity to

relax and recover that summer presents. But athletes who hope to compete in the fall can still work with their parents to ensure they’re ready once the school year and sports season begins.

Eagle Ridge golf league member injured By Bill Jackson Unfortunately, one of our members, Victor Swinney, suffered the bane of all golfers, a torn rotator cuff. This injury occurs to golfers in the backswing, the pulling of your shoulder beneath the chin.

This action generates a lot of torque, adding distance to your drive. The rotator cuff is the place where the tendons and ligaments meet in the shoulder.

The only cure is for this injury is surgery, Vince we will miss you, and hope you will be back next season.

I have never seen the course in better shape.

Popular sports for seniors Age doesn’t have to stop older men and women from enjoying their favorite sports. In fact, remaining active can improve physical and mental health.

If a doctor has confirmed that it is okay to participate in sports, these activities can help men and women 50 and older enjoy friendly competition and physical activity.

Fishing is more than just a leisurely day at the lake. Casting and reeling in your catch provides a good workout for the arms, legs and core muscles of the body. If you fish on the water, rowing out to your lucky spot provides additional cardiovascular exercise.

Golf is enjoyed by

people of all ages. Requiring a combination of strategy and skill, golf also pays several physical dividends.

Play at your own pace, taking your time walking from hole to hole so you can enjoy the sunshine and soak in the beauty of the course.

A few laps around a pool works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to seniors because it works the muscles and provides a cardiovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints.

Many seniors are avid cyclists. You can ride a bicycle in competition or for pleasure.

You can even vary your route depending on how physically intense you want the ride to be.

Ramada Conference Center is nowin July!

Christmas is Celebrating

Administrators from Allen Central and Prestonsburg High Schools were recognized at the KCATE conference in Louisville July 18.

Two Floyd schools reach 100 percent college/career readiness Allen Central High School and Prestonsburg High School have been recognized as among the top 26 high schools in the state for attaining a score of 100 in College and Career Readiness accountability, as announced on July 18 by Floyd County Schools Superintendent Dr. Henry Webb.

Additionally, the two schools are among the top ten percent among Kentucky high schools.

“The board team and I

want to congratulate and thank Allen Central High School and Prestonsburg High School KIDS and our team members at these schools for this phenomenal job with College and Career Readiness. It’s our goal for every child to graduate and be college and career ready. In 2012, we were thirty percent and in 2015, 100 percent,” Webb said.

He continued, “The district is reaching goals simply because our schools,

our teams and our KIDS are focusing on goals.

Knowing where you want or need to go, and being ready for college, technical school, or a career is vital to success in today’s world.”

Allen Central High School and Pretonsburg High School were recognized at the Kentucky Association for Career and Technical Education (KCATE) summer program in Louisville on July 18, at the Galt House.

Lower blades can damage lawn While it might be tempting to lower mower blades when summer temperatures reach their hottest, it is possible to cut grass too short. Homeowners who want to cut back on the time they spend mowing their lawns under the hot summer sun should avoid lowering their mower blades too low, as doing so can cause significant damage to the lawn. Lawns

that have been cut too low are less capable of surviving drought and are unlikely to thrive.

When grass is cut too short, the stem tissue from the grass is exposed, and that exposure can lead to unsightly grass that turns yellow or brown. Grass that is cut too short also may suffer from weaker roots, which in turn makes the grass weaker and less likely

to grow in strong. In addition, weaker grass is more susceptible to weed growth, which can be both a nuisance and an eyesore. When mowing, homeowners should remove no more than one-third of the grass blade. Mowing at this height will promote strong roots and protect the grass when the weather gets especially hot in the summer.

At Home The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley

BBQ peppers?

Yes, indeed!

Our garden has been so plentiful of, both hot and sweet, banana peppers over the last few weeks.

There’s many things you can do with these peppers: stuff them with meats and cheeses, make relishes, pickle pepper rings and my favorite way, which is to barbeque them. After posting a photo of my barbeque peppers to Instagram and Facebook, I was shocked that many hadn’t heard of this particular way of us-

ing peppers. When I was a little girl, my Nana Ann made the best barbequed banana peppers of all time and I looked forward to when she would give me a jar of my own. I would break the seal and eat them straight from the jar.

What makes her peppers so good, besides the fact that she is an expert canner, is the fact that she adds hot dog weenies to her peppers which give the BBQ the most wonderful flavors.

Banana peppers, hot dogs and just the right seasonings create the perfect pairing for soup beans on a frosty winter evening.

Can your own BBQ weenies & peppers using Nikki’s recipe and following safe canning procedures.

Last week, I dedicated a few hours to cleaning peppers and canning a remake of her barbequed weenies and peppers. Other than eating them alone, because they’re that good, my other favorite way to eat the BBQ goodness is on a big bowl of soup beans and cornbread. When I don’t have the BBQ peppers on hand, I eat soup beans with cornbread and ketchup.

2 cups apple cider vinegar 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp granulated garlic 1 lb sweet or hot or combination banana pepper, cut into thick rings 2 lbs hot dogs, sliced In a large pot, stir together the corn oil, cider vinegar, sugar, oregano, garlic, onion and ketchup until sugar has dissolved.

Bring mixture to a boil, then add sliced peppers
