Tinseltown Talks By Nick Thomas
Charlie Gemora: Hollywood’s famous gorilla man Movie databases would suggest make-up genius Charlie Gemora worked on only about 100 films. “More likely it was over 1,000,” says his daughter, Diana, from her home in Oregon. “He began creating sculptures for film sets in the 1920s, which evolved into designing and wearing gorilla suits. From there, he became a successful make-up artist.” But the lack of early screen credits didn’t bother her dad. “He was paid very well,” she added. “Today, the guy who brings coffee gets screen credit! But back in the early days of Hollywood, many people involved in the production side of a film never did.” Born in the Philippines, in 1903, Charlie was the youngest of nine children. After his father died, Charlie ran away only to be found by his family and placed in a monastery for several years where he immersed himself in art books. Yearning for a better life, the young teenager stowed away on a ship bound for San Francisco. During the voyage, a stuck valve and imminent explosion threatened the vessel. The sailor who smuggled Charlie on got him to loosen the valve as he was the smallest person on the ship and could reach it. “The captain
was so grateful he allowed my father to remain on-board,” Diana said. Arriving in America, Gemora found work at a fruit farm and later a dairy on the West Coast. After winning an art contest in 1922, he headed to Hollywood in search of employment as an artist. “Universal was making ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (1923) and hired Charlie as an extra,” said Diana. “Someone from the art department saw his sketches and said if he could draw, he could be a sculptor, and that’s how it all began.” In his early 20s and working with George Westmore, founder of the first film make-up department, Gemora worked on “The Thief of Bagdad” and “The Black Pirate” creating set sculptures that were stunning in their detail and design. “He became good friends with the Westmore family, who were all make-up artists. When an ape suit was needed for ‘The Lost World’ (1925), Charlie helped design it,” Diana said. Standing just over five feet tall, Gemora went on to design Hollywood’s most realistic gorilla suits. He also wore them in films alongside notable comedy stars such as The Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, Laurel
and Hardy, and Hope and Crosby, as well as in many dramatic movies such as “Murders in the Rue Morgue.” An artist herself today (see westgateworks.com), Diana says she was literally raised in Hollywood. “I was 18 months old when my mother left my father in 1941. He took me to the studio every day and the hairdressers and make-up ladies took care of me for the next year and a half until my mother came back.” Diana soon became a familiar face on the studio lots. “During the summers, I would be there helping him in his private lab or just hanging out on the sets. And when I was old enough, I became a stand-in for child actors such as Kurt Russell and Ron Howard until I retired to become an artist.” Despite his busy schedule, Diana says her dad found time for family. “If he didn’t have a project going in the home lab, we’d hit a sporting event – wrestling, hockey, baseball, and horse racing were his favorites.” Another memory involves sleeping on a deck at home which Gemora built specifically to look for UFOs. “He longed to see one. If he was home early enough, he’d have me and (brother) Pat sur-

He let us sleep outside on chaise lounges on shooting star nights and serenaded us on his guitar by our fabulous volcano fire pit. As children, he tried to involve us in every aspect of what he was doing. I learned so very much from him, mostly how to have fun as you live life.” At home, with her friends, Diana says Gemora was entertaining. “He didn’t dress up in the gorilla suits, but was a great story teller. He would corral my teenage friends and was like a Pied Piper telling them funny stories from his career. He was always a great practical joker on movie sets.”
Like the time he painted Cary Grant’s glasses black while Grant napped during the filming of “Gunga Din” where he worked as Sam Jaffe’s make-up man. “Cary opened his eyes and everything was black,” recounted Diana. “Victor McLaglen had to stand behind him in case he fell over.” Dressed as a gorilla, Charlie the prankster out did himself on the set of “Island of Lost Souls.” “The Promotion Department wanted the public to think a real gorilla was being used, and kept Charlie in the cage for several days while in public view. They were on location at a wharf in Long Beach using real
longshoremen and one sailor taunted Charlie relentlessly.” Never revealing his identity, Gemora submitted to the abuse while plotting his revenge for the last day of shooting when he secretly loosened the bars of the cage. “Charlie lunged at the sailor who burnt rubber on his shoes running away and never even came back for his pay!” With such a sense of humor, it’s no surprise Gemora was popular with cast and crew throughout his career. “Years after he was gone, Ray Milland looked up my brother to tell him how beloved he Gemora cont. on page 10

Editorial The Common Tater By John Sparks
Grandma and the Second Amendment
My three previous guncontrol columns have been more or less solemn and earnest, but I find that I simply can’t leave the issue until I add something a little more lighthearted— although down deep, this story is as serious as the others. It involves the first time I ever personally witnessed a Second Amendment violation, but it also has the bonus of allowing me to recount a memory of
one of the few times I ever had a laugh on my father rather than the other way around. Even so, I was a bit too intimidated at the time to laugh at myself. You’ll see why. Dad’s mother was, well, memorable—perhaps not so much so as her first cousin Lucinda about whom I’ve already written, but unforgettable nonetheless. I don’t remember a time growing up when Grandma
wasn’t dying of some horrible disease or other, and sadly, one of her ailments finally caught up with her two months before her ninety-fifth birthday. Smile if you will at that. I was twenty then, and in spite of all the times she’d threatened to die, I still mourned when she actually went ahead and did it. I wonder how long she’d have lived if she hadn’t smoked like a freight train all those years. After my Grandfather Sparks passed away, Grandma moved from Offutt to another community nearer Paintsville. Her new home was bordered closely by a church and three other houses, one of these belonging to the congregation’s minister (a cousin) and another to one of her nieces. In spite of this snug, comforting presence of God and kin, though, she still slept with Grandpa’s old Smith & Wesson 32-caliber “yaller jacket” under her pillow, and it was unwise to step onto her porch after
dark without calling first. One night she thought she heard a prowler, got up, drew the revolver, and emptied it into her front door. Trouble was, she’d tried to sight down the barrel of the .32 as if it were a rifle—at least that’s how Dad figured it afterward—and consequently temporarily lost the hearing in her right ear. I learned how to shoot using that old gun myself, and a small cannon couldn’t have had much more of either volume or recoil. After a relative telephoned us Dad rushed to the scene, worried about bullet holes not only in cousins’ houses but in cousins, too. He had me come with him; if it wasn’t for moral support I’m not sure why. Thankfully, we found no casualties except the door and Grandma’s ear, and nobody’d even called the law—gotta love family— but Dad was mightily irked about Grandma’s carelessness with the gun and he began to try to lecture her
on firearm safety. That’s when the real trouble started. Grandma was hardly ever at a loss for a reply to anything or anyone, but she absolutely could not hear out of her right ear for days afterward and about every ten words out of Dad’s mouth she’d interrupt him with a loud “HUH?” He’d increase his volume for another sentence or so, then get another “HUH?” in reply, and so after the sixth or seventh “HUH?” he was speaking as loudly as I ever heard him talk in my life, his jawline was an alarming shade of dark crimson, and his blue eyes were flashing fire. I just tried to listen and not say a word—for the most part, Dad was one of the most even-tempered men I ever knew, but when his patience was tried too far you wanted to climb a tree before asking what was wrong—and stifle my laughter at the situation he and poor old Grandma were caught in. I think some of the cousins got

The Thin Blue Line
Badges carry with them the authority, respect and honor of the character of the men and women they are pinned to and those who past held and all those who passed, holding the thin blue line.
Law enforcement is a noble, necessary and worthy, often rough and tumble, thankless calling and a sacred position of public trust
that must be tempered by ethical and non-judgmental respect for the constitutional rights of the citizenry. Professionalism both welcomes and demands accountability for the conduct and actions of professionals within a given field. We have got some great cops out there, honorable men and women of good
Student Essays By Sydney Becknell
The Wage Gap The wage gap is a statistical indicator often used as an index of the status of women’s earnings relative to men’s. It is also used to compare the earnings of other races and ethnicities to those of white males, a group generally not subject to race- or sex-based discrimination. The wage gap is expressed as a percentage (e.g., in 2013, women earned 78.3 percent as much as men aged 16 and over) and is calculated by dividing the median annual earnings for women by the median annual earnings for men.
The Equal Pay Act was signed in 1963, making it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who hold the same job and do the same work. At the time of the EPA’s passage, women earned just 58 cents for every dollar earned by men. By 2013, that rate had increased to 78 cents. Minority women fare the worst. African-American women earn just 64 cents to every dollar earned by white men, and for Hispanic women that figure drops to merely 56 cents per dollar. Asian women are the ex-
character who serve as examples and role models to the communities they serve. I want to thank each and every one of them for the job they do. To those that abuse their office by being bullish, badge heavy political appointee suck up pets on a power trip who have no respect for the rights of the common folks they serve, you people tarnish the badges of those you dare to call brother and sister and dishonor your profession as a whole. Just go away. Find a good factory job or something because you ain’t cut out for this. Good cops are a rare and valuable community asset, someone worthy of the position of honor and trust
they hold who people look to as the defenders and protectors of their rights and freedoms as well as the keepers of order and peace.
People deserve and demand respect and courtesy as a part of professionalism. Badge heavy, on the take dirty cops who serve and favor the elite and wealthy over the everyday common citizen are bullies of the highest order and are no better than, and in fact are far worse than, the most heinous of criminals. Why am I writing this? In addition to the unjust treatment experienced by myself and others in the past, I have a good friend, an honorably discharged veteran and former police officer himself for whom
ception, earning 80 cents for every dollar earned by white men--a sum higher than women of all other races/ethnicities as well as African-American and Hispanic men. The Institute for Women’s Policy Research looked at a 15-year model and found that women’s cumulative earnings show a far greater disparity than annual comparisons. Women’s lower work hours and their years with zero earnings due to family care certainly are factors affecting the report’s findings: women workers in their prime earning years earned 62 percent less than men, or only $0.38 for every dollar men earned. During that 15-year period, the average woman earned only $273,592 while the average man earned $722,693 (in 1999 dollars). Many women are working across the globe to close the wage gap amongst both genders and ethnicities.
I have the greatest respect, who, while minding his own business on his own private property, was recently, without benefit of due process, forced by local bought and paid for cops to vacate his own premises simply to accommodate the greed and whimsical tantrum of someone who has the money and influence to buy his own justice and evidently his own bought and paid for police force.
What an unfortunate shame. It has happened in the past before, it is all too commonplace in the present and if we the people continue to be a herd of sheep content to remain ignorantly bliss, it will happen again and again and again in the future. No person’s rights, no matter how special they think they might be are
tickled too, and like me, were trying their best not to show it. Nobody dared look at each other. The whole thing really wasn’t funny, yet it was hilarious. I think the Germans call this kind of thing “schadenfreude,” but Teutonic title or no, it was pure eastern Kentucky. At the end of Dad’s rebuke Grandma said “HUH?” again. At that point Dad just gave up and confiscated the pistol, I helped Grandma pack her things together, and we locked her well-ventilated door and brought her home with us. Technically, Dad thus violated Grandma’s Second Amendment rights, but looking back, I don’t think the strongest gun enthusiast in the world would have dared say a word about it to his face at the time. Like the proverbial skeleton afraid to cross the road, nobody in their right mind would’ve had the guts.
more important than those of another and no right is more sacred than the peaceful enjoyment of one’s own property. Let me spell that one out .... People have a right to be left the hell alone. It comes under the heading of an old fashioned doctrine known as the pursuit of happiness. A person’s right to be left alone was earned by the blood and sacrifice of patriots and is not to be offered for sale by others. Thanks again to the men and women in blue who serve honorably and would question and oppose anyone who would have them do otherwise, you are doing a fine job and I for one am glad you are out there doing it.

BSACAP Health Fair a success
Big Sandy Area Community Action Program hosted annual Community Health Fairs on Tuesday, Aug. 2, in Paintsville, and on Wednesday, Aug. 3, in downtown Martin. The Health Fairs gave visitors the opportunity to connect with several area health service providers and receive free screenings. Health insurance providers including Passport Health Insurance, WellCare, and Anthem were on hand to help people learn more about their insurance options. Mountain Comprehensive Care’s Home Place Clinic gave free blood pressure screenings. Big Sandy Health Care provided A1C screenings and dental hygienists from the Mud Creek Clinic gave oral health advice. Visitors were able to connect with service groups including the Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs, the Kentucky Office for the Blind, Carl D. Perkins Job Corps, The Healing Program, the Floyd County Extension Office, the Veterans ADM Medical Center, Mountain Comprehensive Care, and many others. Kim Vicars, Community Services Block Grant Manager for Big Sandy Area Community Action Program said, “We are excited to have had such a wonderful turn out this year. Our mission at Community Action is help our local people and our families to move toward selfsufficiency meaning we help to connect people with economic and educational opportunities.” The main focus of BSACAP is to help people find ways to lift

Financial Focus Money saving tips for college students 1. Where does your money go? It is important to know where you are spending your money. This will allow you to develop better spending habits. 2. Make a budget. Estimate your monthly income and expenses. 3. Live like a college student. The reality is that you’re a college student. So live like one—don’t spend money you don’t have yet. Though it may feel difficult, living like a
student now will place you in a better financial situation when you graduate. 4. Don’t abuse credit. Be responsible with credit cards. Only charge what you can truly afford to pay off each month and make sure it fits into your budget. If you are easily tempted to overuse, leave the credit card at home and take only the cash you can afford to spend. 5. Nothing’s impossible. While it may seem impos-
sible to save, try anyway, even if it’s only $10 a week. Place the money in a savings account that’s not attached to your ATM card so it is not as easily accessible. 6. Keep it safe. Be sure to keep receipts, student loan documents and other financial statements. You never know when you will need to refer to these documents. 7. But do you need it? One of the most important
money saving tips is not to buy on impulse. Wait a few days and see if you still need the item. 8. Keep score. Make sure you pay your bills on time, every time. While this may seem obvious, paying on time is a big factor in having a good credit score. 9. Be a cheapskate. Many colleges offer lots of free or cheap activities on campus which will provide the opportunity to socialize without a lot of expense.
10. Milk your student status. Lots of places will give you a discount simply for being a student. Look for places that offer savings when you show your student I.D. 11. Extra cash. As long as you are able to manage your studies, a part-time job is a great way to earn a little extra spending money.
12. Use the used. Look online or check with your college bookstore for used textbooks for classes, which can save you some money. Selling back your used books at the end of the semester could score you some extra cash. Check online or with your campus bookstore for buy-back details.
Student Budgeting Tips From creating a budget to learning how to stick to it, these nine simple student budgeting tips can help boost your savings potential. 1. Create a budget. This is an important step towards becoming financially responsible and helps you reach your savings goals. 2. Know your habits. To create a budget you first need to know where your money goes. Keep track of all your expenses for a month. Use a student budgeting worksheet or computer program (like Excel). 3. Get it together. Most
of the information needed to draft a budget is readily available. Collect pay stubs, tax returns, utility bills, credit card statements, loan statements, receipts, insurance bills, etc., to help get you started. 4. Do the math. Once you’ve gathered all the necessary information, it’s time to add up your total income and subtract your total expenses. Your expenses shouldn’t exceed your income. 5. Avoid the red. If you notice that your expenses do exceed your income, you’ll need to look for ways to cut back. Obvi-

ously, you still have to pay your bills, but try making small sacrifices now that will put you in a much better position in the future. 6. Wants vs. needs. It’s really important to know the difference between wants and needs when budgeting. Things like utility bills, food and gas are important expenses that you need to pay. Eating out at expensive restaurants is a luxury. 7. Reward yourself. It’s important to include paying yourself in your budget. Each month, set aside some money that you put into a savings account
to reward yourself with something fun. 8. Expect the unexpected. It’s also a good idea to set aside some money each month for emergency purposes, such as unexpected car repairs. If you don’t use it, that’s just more savings you have for the future. 9. Don’t give up! Making a budget and sticking to it isn’t always easy, but keep at it and you will be in control of your financial destiny. Source: bank.com

“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. See Monarch On Page 11

One of my favorite 8-letter words: FOOTBALL It’s here. It’s hard to believe but football at all levels; elementary, middle schools, high school, college and even the NFL; is here! Scrimmages and media days are upon us and the NFL just had t’s Hall Of Fame weekend in Canton, Ohio, where the Green Bay Packers faced the Indianapolis Colts and all of the professional teams will cut down to their 53-man rosters by the end of their preseason schedule. On the local front, Johnson Central began with its black-gold scrimmage last Friday
at Eagle Field. They are coming off a state runner-up finish in 4A but anytime you have to change quarterbacks “your defense will be way ahead of your offense” per coach Jim Matney. Which explains the 7-7 tie. The Golden Eagles will have two scrimmages coming up beginning this Friday at Cabell Midland and they return home August 19 hosting a Canadien team. They open the season with Capital (WVA) coming to Eagle Field on August 26. Prestonsburg will host a scrimmage Au-
gust 12 at 6 pm but do not expect to see the Black cats at Josh Francis Field that much this year. In fact, they only have 3 home games on the schedule this season (Sheldon Clark August 26, Allen Central October 14 and Betsy Layne October 21). They have seven away games and they open the regular season at defending Class A state champ Pikeville Aug. 19. Lawrence County lost plenty of talent and Alan Short takes over as head coach for the departing Joey Cecil. The Dawgs will travel
to Magoffin County for a scrimmage August 11. The Paintsville Tigers are coming off an outstanding 13-1 season. They just came back from camp at Camp Caleb and will go to Tug Valley Saturday for a scrimmage with Tug Valley and Logan. The Tigers will host Sheldon Clark Aug. 19 to kick off the season. Sheldon Clark also just arrived back from camp at Georgetown College where first year head coach Chester McCoy worked his 25 man roster out in two-a days.
The Cardinals will go to Phelps for their only scrimmage Aug. 13. The Allen Central Rebels and South Floyd Raiders will play their final football seasons in 2016. The two schools will consolidate beginning next school year becoming Floyd Central. Allen Central under coach Jeremy Hall will face three other in a scrimmage at Betsy Layne on Aug. 12. Breathitt County and Pike County Central will join AC and Betsy Layne. The University of Kentucky will open up
the season September 3 as they host Southern Miss as head coach Mark Stoops hopes to have the Wildcats in gear to reach a bowl game. The Cincinnati Bengals will play 4 preseason games beginning with the Minnesota Vikings Aug. 12 at 7:30 in Paul Brown Stadium. They visit the Detroit Lions Aug. 18 and Jacksonville Aug. 28 before hosting the Colts Sept. 1. They open the season September 11 at the New York Jets at 1 p.m. on CBS.
McKenzie, Rice elected to positions at coaches meeting Tommy McKenzie was elected as 15th Region Coaches Association Chairman for a fifth consecutive term Friday night at the first meeting of the new sports year. Darrin Rice was elected to the board of controls for the Coaches Association. Clinton Hackney was elected as Coaches Association secretary for a fourth consecutive term. Along with normal business duties, the Coaches Association voted on top 10 teams and players for boys’/ girls’ last night for inclusion in the CATS Pause annual yearbook. Results were kept secret until publication this October but the voting process can be discussed. For selection of players each head coach nominates whomever they wish from their
roster. Once a nominee ballot is produced each coach is asked to pick the top 10 players (1-
10). If a player gets a 1 vote they get 10 quality points, a 2 vote 9 points, etc. etc. The players
with the most points are ordered 1-10. Note: You cannot vote for your own player. The same process is used for ranking the teams. Head Coaches rank the teams from 1-10 and quality points are assigned. You cannot vote for your own team. Boys’ Coaches vote only for boys’ teams/players and likewise for girls’ coaches. Founded in 2012, the 15th Region Coaches Association is made up of Boys’ and Girls’ basketball coaches and functions to promote basketball growth in the mountains, promote student athletes exposure and success on a state and national level, and maintain and schedule local games for regular and post seasons.

was,” said Diana. “That was the most commonly used word for him. He worked all the studios as a problem solver, troubleshooter, and inventor.” In addition to creating the first studio blood that didn’t stain, Gemora’s many innovations advanced glamour, scarring, wound, and aging make-up techniques. “He was very proud of his aging make-up for Barbara Stanwyck in ‘The Great Man’s Lady’ (1942). Barbara had been a long-time fan and friend, and she had him paint her portrait.” His spontaneous problem-solving skills were also appreciated by Victor Mature.
“Vic was supposed to be this great he-man, but he was so scared of the toothless, clawless, teetering old animal used for his lion fight in ‘Samson and Delilah,’ that Charlie had to make a lion suit for a stuntman to use!” Many more stories from Gemora’s career can be found in J.L. Barnett’s detailed 2016 documentary “Charlie Gemora: Uncredited” (see charliegemora. com). Although he went on to become a first-class make-up artist and prop designer – creating such iconic costumes as the Martian in 1953’s “The War of the Worlds” – Diana believes years of wearing hot gorilla suits took their toll. Gemora died in 1961 at the age of just 58. “It killed him before his time,” she said.
“He had to have oxygen tanks nearby while wearing the suits and after making ‘The Monster and the Girl’ (1941) had a major heart attack. He continued to work, but it was his last solo gig as a gorilla and only did the head closeups and a little body work afterwards.” Although rarely seen on film out of make-up, Charlie Gemora will always be remembered for creating early Hollywood magic on the big screen. “King Kong might have died for love of his lady,” she added, “but Charlie died for love of a gorilla.” Nick Thomas teaches at Auburn University at Montgomery, Ala., and has written features, columns, and interviews for over 600 magazines.

At Home Savory Summer Squash with Bacon
The Coal Miner’s Bride By Nikki Bradley
Nana’s Apple Dumplings Although the first day of fall isn’t until September 22, it’s August that makes these eastern hills start losing the feel of summer. Whenever I think about the beginning of fall, I think of apples. When I think of apples, I think of Nana. Besides the fact that she cooked every day for our entire family, on Sundays, she would make a big supper including a dessert of some sort. One of my favorite desserts she ever made was Apple Dumplings. She’d make a big dish of them and would serve them with sweet milk and vanilla ice cream. She usually made her dessert first thing Sunday morning before preparing supper. Since she would make the dumplings so early, we typically never saw her make them firsthand. One Sunday, she got a little behind on time and my mom, aunt, nana’s sister
Mary Lou and I were sitting in the kitchen when she started to make the dumplings. She was preparing the rolls and getting out ingredients she needed and I noticed there was only one apple. One of us, not sure who, made the comment that it looked like she was short an apple or three. She quickly replied that we shouldn’t underestimate what she could do with one apple and that she’s never used more than one when she’s previously made dumplings. Mind you, she typically made about 16 dumplings. When supper was through and it was time for dessert, we all snickered as we piled the dumplings on our plates, just knowing that we were going to have to search for the apple inside. However, the dumplings were perfectly filled with the right ratio of apple

We, just like we had many times before, sat down and ate our dumplings while this time listening to Nana tell us about how she knows more about it than we do: Clearly she was right. To make your own apple dumplings, follow this recipe. If you don’t like apples, replace the apples with frozen peach slices.
