Board chairman chris smiley resigned june 27

Proffitt Resigns As School Superintendent By Carolyn Walker

At Monday night’s regularly scheduled meeting, the Dawson Springs Board of Education accepted the resignation of Superintendent Charles Proffitt effective July 22. Proffitt, who served only one year in the position, has accepted the job of superintendent of the Cloverport Independent School System in Breckinridge County. Former superintendent Alexis Seymore was appointed interim superintendent. Proffitt was hired after Seymore’s retirement in 2012.

Another resignation left a board seat empty and called for the election of a new chairman. Longtime board PROFFITT member Chris Smiley resigned June 27 after serving for 24 1/2 years. He left the board so that his daughter could apply for a position with the district. At the start of the meeting, Proffitt presented Smiley with a cer-

tificate in recognition of his years on the board. A reception honoring Smiley will be held at 4:30 p.m. Aug. 19, prior to the monthly meeting. The reception is open to the public. Earl Menser was elected board chairman. He will finish the remaining 3 1/2 years of Smiley’s term. The treasurer’s report showed a bank balance of $1,305,349.48 at the end of June. While cash in the General Fund was up almost $15,000, treasurer Jenny Bruce said the district will lose in excess of $200,000 in SEEK funds for the

2013-2014 school year. In the elementary report, Jennifer Ward said the library, music and art rooms in the elementary building are almost complete. She expects the relocation to improve daily flow between those areas and the classrooms for elementary students. Kevin Stockman reported on ACT results for the Class of 2014. The ACT is now part of the state assessment required of all juniors. Local English, reading and math scores are well above the state average, while science scores are even with the state. The composite

for the class is 19.9. Guidance counselor Lori Wooton said students can still improve on their individual scores by the time they graduate by choosing to retake the ACT on their own. The board approved a revised tobacco use policy for certified and classified staff. The policy prohibits adults employed in the school system from smoking in the presence of students, on or off school grounds, while on duty. Adult employees may smoke only in their personal vehicles. —Continued on page A5

Dodge Charger Bought For Police Department By Carolyn Walker The Dawson Springs City Council voted Monday to purchase a Dodge Charger with a standard police package at a cost of $24,373. Mayor Jenny Sewell said the purchase was approved by the budget committee. The city had postponed buying the vehicle until it was able to do so without financing. Ben Leonard reported that two dilapidated houses

will soon be advertised for sale at the judicial center steps. Judgements have been obtained, and the three required independent appraisals of the properties are in the works. The recently adopted nuisance ordinance is being condensed for publication. After publication in the newspaper, the ordinance can be enacted, and a code enforcement board and officer will be put in place. The city attorney also

reported receiving a letter from a Time Warner representative agreeing to a fiveyear contract rather than the 20-year agreement Time Warner originally asked for. However, the representative told Leonard there is currently no plan for upgrades of any type. Also, any equipment for local programming will be the city’s responsibility. Sewell said she doesn’t —Continued on page A5

5K Run Will Be July 27 By Jacob Parker The first annual Dawson Springs 5K Barbecue Run will commence the morning after the barbecue, July 27, at 7:30 a.m. Registration is open until the day of the run, but those registering before July 20 will only pay a $20 entry fee. Anyone registering after that date will be charged a fee of $25. The fee includes a t-shirt, with all proceeds

going to the Dawson Springs Community Center. The walk will begin at the four-way stop on Arcadia Avenue heading toward Dairy Queen. The walkers will then make a left onto Frederick Road, a left onto Rosedale Lane, another left onto Oak Heights leading back into town, and a left on Hall Street. Jim Hillerich, who is in charge of the 5K, said the extra walking within the

town was incorporated it to make it a full 5K, or 3.1 miles. “Some people get upset if it’s too short, and a lot of people get upset if it’s too long,” Hillerich said. To account for the remaining distance, walkers will make a left onto Hunter Street, a right onto Railroad Avenue and will end up back in the middle of town. —Continued on page A5

elementary sbdm council

Master Schedule And Budget Is Approved By Carolyn Walker With the 2013-2014 school year fast approaching, the Dawson Springs Elementary SBDM Council held its July meeting Monday. Several items pertaining to the start of school, including the SBDM budget and master schedule for the year were approved. Jennifer Ward, principal and council chairwoman, told council members that she and junior-senior high principal Kevin Stockman have worked together this summer to create a teacher handbook. The handbook, she said, includes organizational information and district policy which pertains to teachers at all levels. Also in the handbook, is material specific to the elementary school such as

bell and lunch schedules, duty rosters and SBDM meeting dates and times. Ward said much of the information she has previously distributed to teachers will now be located in one central document. Teachers will have electronic access to the handbook which can be printed if they choose. After being tabled for the past two meetings, a promotion and retention policy was approved. Ward said the policy “gives teachers more voice.” The council voted to change the date and time of its meetings for the coming school year. Meetings will be held on the third Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. —Continued on page A5

Baseball League Response ‘Great’ By Jacob Parker The Amateur Tradewater Men’s League has received positive responses so far. Rick Hendrickson, a local resident who serves as the unofficial consultant commissioner of the league, said the response has been great despite being a work in progress. “So far, we’ve seen great attendance, and the response has been great,” he said. “We see families and children, and hear positive comments. It’s been an honor to be a part of this community effort.” The games, played every Wednesday and Sunday night at 6 p.m. in Riverside Park, feature four teams: the Cardinals, Braves, Giants and Dodgers. —Continued on page A5

junior-senior sbdm council

Handbook Is Online For Teachers/Staff By Carolyn Walker The Dawson Springs JuniorSenior High SBDM Council took action July 10 to prepare for the coming school year. DeNell Storms, high school secretary, was appointed recorder, and teacher representative Dan Dillingham was elected council vice chairman. The 2013-2014 meeting times and dates were set for 4 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. A teacher/staff handbook will be online for employees to access. Principal and council chairman Kevin Stockman said having the handbook on the Web site will mean changes can be made without completely redoing the document. A hard copy will be placed in the

office for use by request. The council also voted to approve new vision and mission statements. Stockman said the mission statement, which he believes should be short and to the point, will be on the lobby wall. The vision statement now includes college- and career-readiness, the school’s ultimate goal. Stockman discussed plans to meet with small groups of teachers during their planning periods at intervals during the school year. The groups will collaborate on how goals can be met. He also noted that with the elementary library being moved, some changes can be made to the media center. He plans to reorganize the computers and —Continued on page A5

Obama’s Climate Policy Will Raise Energy Prices By Beth Musgrave Lexington Herald-Leader Kentucky’s top energy official told a legislative committee that President Barack Obama’s climate change policy could increase electricity prices significantly and hurt the state’s coal and manufacturing industries. Many legislators at the July 9 Joint Committee on Natural Resources and the Environment said they believe Obama unfairly targets the coal industry in his policy to battle climate change and questioned whether it was necessary to curb carbon dioxide emissions. “We’re not blind. We know there is a war on coal,” said Rep. Fitz Steele, D-Hazard. “There has been climate change since the beginning of time ... There is not but one fellow that can control it ... It’s going to change no matter what.” Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters told Steele and other lawmakers who questioned global warming that scientific evidence suggests the climate is changing. “When you look at the overwhelming evidence and factor everything into consideration ... and there are hundreds of thousands of scientists looking at various aspects of this ... there is indication that climate change is in fact happening,” Peters said. Obama’s policy includes new standards for carbon dioxide emissions, an additional $8 billion in loan guarantees for research and development for new energy technologies and no U.S. foreign aid to build coalfired power plants in developing countries. Under Obama’s plan, the federal government is supposed to have final rules on carbon dioxide emissions for existing and new energy sources by June 1, 2015. The state will have to adopt and implement its own plan by June 30, 2016.

Peters told the committee that it’s likely those deadlines will change. There may be legal challenges, Peters said. Whenever they take effect, many believe the new rules will mean no new coalfired power plants will be built in the country. “We don’t know what the new rules will be,” Peters told the committee. “You can’t turn the entire energy fleet around in a year.” Having fewer coal-fired power plants will undoubtedly mean less coal mined in Kentucky, officials said. Eastern Kentucky already has seen a dramatic drop in coal production and jobs as the price of natural gas plummeted in recent years. Kentucky gets more than 90 percent of its electricity from coal-burning power plants, making it one of the largest producers of carbon on a per-capita basis in the country. It was one of 18 states where emissions went up from 2000 to 2010, according to federal statistics. Peters said he expects many utility companies to switch from coal — which produces the most carbon dioxide — to natural gas and other power sources that have lower or no carbon dioxide emissions. George Siemens, vice president for external affairs at LG&E and Kentucky Utilities, told lawmakers that power companies will have to spend large sums to add technologies that reduce carbon emissions or to build new natural gas plants. No technology now available would reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the level that many believe the administration will propose. “The climate’s always going to change,” said Rep. Stan Lee, R-Lexington. “We’re not in control of this world. ... There is one who is in control but it ain’t any of us. And to think that we can change what He created I think is short-sighted and foolish.”

State Economy Improves After Two-Year Decline

Obituary

For the third consecutive year, Kentucky’s General Fund tax receipts rose after suffering two years of decline because of the national recession. For the 2013 fiscal year which ended June 30, state budget director Jane Driskell said General Fund receipts totaled $9.3 billion, or 2.8 percent more than fiscal year 2012. Final fiscal year 2013 General Fund revenues were $40.5 million or 0.4 percent more than the official revenue estimate which had projected 2.4 percent growth.

Disease symptoms include wilting, yellowing and bloom loss. Homeowners may notice a white growth on undersides of leaves, especially during humid conditions, rainy weather or in irrigated landscapes. Eventually the disease will cause plants to defoliate and die. If a plant is infected by the pathogen, it cannot be cured. Homeowners who have the disease should remove and destroy all infected plants. Nearby uninfected impatiens can be treated with a fungicide, but different fungicides are approved for commercial growers and home gardeners. Fungicide recommendations for both are available at county extension offices. “The disease is very hardy and can overwinter in the soil, so impatiens should not be replanted in the same spot next year,” Gauthier said. While the common impatiens may not be a future option for many gardeners, there are still many plants that make colorful substitutions. Gauthier recommends New Guinea impatiens, Sunpatiens, caladiums, coleus, polka dot plant, Joseph’s coat, sweet potato vine and lots of different begonia varieties as possible alternatives.

Road Fund receipts have now grown for four consecutive fiscal years, the news release said.

Health Insurance Offered To Crittenden Employees By Chris Evans The Crittenden Press

Cassie Seaburg spent about $6,000 last year on health care. She’s still making payments, trying to catch up on medical bills while hoping to qualify for a mortgage to buy a home. It’s tough, she says, for a single mother to juggle it all. She hasn’t had health insurance since 2007, but that’s about to change. Starting Monday, Seaburg, an employee at Crittenden County Detention Center, and about 50 other county workers were expected to sign up for insurance, many for the first time. Magistrates voted last week to provide group health insurance for county employees — becoming the last fiscal court in Kentucky to do so. The plan calls for a 7030 cost-share to be made available to all county em-

ployees. Local officials do not think all will sign up for the coverage because they may have insurance through spouses, Medicare or other private plans. Judge-Executive Perry Newcom said the last census taken in January showed that almost 50 of the county’s 80-some-odd employees were interested in signing onto a county-sponsored plan. Under the new community rating provision of Obamacare, monthly premiums will be just under $300 per employee. The county’s portion will be about $210 monthly with the worker electing to have the balance withheld from his or her paycheck as an IRS Section 125 pre-tax deduction. The pre-tax provision helps employees, too, by reducing their federal tax liability. “This has been a long time coming,” Magistrate Donnetta Travis said following the June 18 court meeting when a unanimous vote

was taken on the matter following a lengthy discussion regarding which type of plan and how much cost-share to provide. Seaburg said many county employees are like her, excited about the prospect of having personal insurance. However, she says some are very concerned about how they’ll pay their share. “It’s going to be over $80 a month out of their checks, and at our current rate of pay, that’s going to make it tough for some.”

Although Seaburg admits she has never been a supporter of President Obama or his policies, she likes the new law that requires employers—like the county— to provide health insurance. “I don’t think the county would have ever done it had it not been for Obamacare,” she said. Newcom said that it would not have been possible to pay the county’s share had it not been for approval last year of an occupational tax. A large part of the revenue from that tax goes to-

ward supplementing the ambulance service. Another big chunk is budgeted for this insurance. “Jail refinancing has been a big part of this, too,” Newcom said, pointing out that saving more than $200,000 on its bond payments for the detention center has helped stabilize the county budget, making it feasible to provide health insurance for workers. For decades, county officials had held dubious discussions about providing health insurance for county

workers. Each time, despite earnest endeavors to find ways and means to do it, they ended in failure. Now, because of mandates by the The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly called Obamacare, local leaders were forced to do it or pay upward of $110,000 in federal penalties. Fixed first-year cost to the county will be in the neighborhood of $155,000 to $160,000 depending on how many employees elect to subscribe.

Wednesday, July 17, 2013 — The Dawson Springs Progress

Response To Baseball League ‘Great’ —Continued from front page The current league season will end in August or September, with an anticipated 15 game regular season schedule. Hendrickson said the team came about when a number of local men approached the mayor about playing adult baseball at Riverside. “Quite a bit of work went into the planning and developing of a structure of rules and a format for play,” he said. While the league is still a work in progress, Hendrickson said they try to resolve issues quickly. “People hold full or parttime jobs during the day, so

the league is recreational in nature, and organizers and volunteers try to, as much as they can, to make the two night a week format work,” he said. “Players are preparing the field for play, umpiring games and trying to ensure that teams have enough players for each game.” Hendrickson said this league resembles “town ball,” the baseball played back in the heydays of Dawson Springs. “This is exciting for us, because we have returned to the original concept of Dawson Springs,” he said. “We are focusing on local and area adult players, who want an outlet for recreational baseball. We already have several

more area teams wanting in the league next season.” If anyone is interested in helping out with the league, they should contact the mayor and ask what volunteer assistance is needed and also come to the weekly games. “We have a great atmosphere, music, announcing and fantastic concessions,” he said. “Everything is done by volunteers.” Hendrickson said that not all is perfect, but the effort is certainly there. “I envision this being much like the old days, when town baseball was at its peak. And Riverside Park is the best historical site you can find to play community baseball,” he said.

Seymore To Be Interim Superitendent —Continued from front page Also approved were employee and substitute handbooks, the 2013-2014 fee schedule and the blanket hiring of substitute teachers. A BG1 for security devices on the outside doors was approved for a projected cost of $19,103.10. The PTO donated $8,000 toward the project and the Class of 2013, $500. The board accepted a revised scope of work for the Race to the Top third round grant approved one year ago. Proffitt said the district was notified that some of the intended uses for the funds are no longer allowable. Implementation of instruc-

tion components were added in their place. This includes the student response devices which will be purchased for both schools. No motion to approve Proffitt’s request for travel expenses for the KASA conference this week was made. An agenda item concerning building maintenance also died for lack of a motion. This involved the installation of lighting in the multipurpose room and high school lobby, painting downstairs and in the lobby and repairing chipped tile on the lobby floor. The personnel report included the hiring of Kristin Crook as director of districtwide programs, Chance Al-

fred as head baseball coach and Katie Harris as a high school social studies teacher and head boys soccer coach. Several temporary employees have been working this summer. Tayler Mills, Kendel Mitchell and Seth Parker are working for the maintenance department; Tanner Weir and Brad Williams have worked with technology. In his final superintendent’s report, Proffitt praised the administrative staff and thanked the board for its support. “I wanted to take a moment to thank the board of education for everything you have done for this school district,” he said. “You’ve always been very supportive.”

Junior-Senior SBDM Discusses Plans —Continued from front page will make other changes as funds allow. The purchase of four sets of student response systems has been authorized and will be paid for by the district. Stockman is also checking into a new sound system for the multipurpose room. A math position in the

high school is still open. Current applicants for the job do not have the needed certification. A called meeting may be necessary to fill the position by the time school begins next month. Band camp will be held July 18 through 26. High school schedules are to be picked up by seniors July 29 between 9 and

11 a.m. and by juniors from 1 to 3 p.m. Sophomores can pick up schedules July 30 from 9 to 11 a.m. and freshmen from 1 to 3 p.m. that day. The Back to School Bash will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. July 30. The next regular council meeting will be Aug. 14 at 4 p.m.

Section A, Page 5

City Purchases Police Cruiser —Continued from front page think the city is ready to approve an agreement under those terms. She wants to know more before a decision is made and believes city officials should attend a meeting concerning cable companies scheduled next month. Chasidy Chappell said she has a group of volunteers who will help residents who want to improve the appearance of their property but are unable to do the work themselves. The group will meet Saturday mornings to do yard work. Eric Halverson was appointed to the Riverside Park Commission. He will fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Dr. Herbert Chaney. Sewell asked council members to recommend candidates for appointment to the city/county zoning board.

Members of this board must attend monthly meetings in Hopkins County. Sewell announced the hiring of Bo Hester as street department superintendent. Hester is already working, she said, but will not assume his supervisory duties until Aug. 1. He replaces John McChesney who is retiring. “I’m glad to have Bo back involved,” Rick Hendrickson commented. “To get someone with that kind of knowledge is a big plus for us.” Sewell said Hannah Midkiff Torres is resigning this week as a dispatcher. “We want to thank Hannah for her service,” she said. Hendrickson updated the council on the newly formed amateur baseball league. When he was first approached about becoming involved with the league he

was hesitant, he said, “but you can’t just walk away from something you love.” The games are drawing good crowds. The players are having a good time and are excited to have people watching them, Hendrickson said, adding that out-of-town visitors have responded very positively. “It’s a really good feeling,” he commented. “We’re playing baseball, and that’s all that matters I’m really happy to be a part of it. “This may be more of what this park was truly designed for than anything we’ve done before.” Upcoming events include the annual Barbecue July 26, a soccer game at Riverside Park July 27, a 5K run for the community center July 27, the Last Day of Play, Aug. 1 and a 5K run/walk for the Alzheimer’s Association Aug 3.

Elementary SBDM Approves Budget —Continued from front page Ward said the district is purchasing four sets of student response systems for each school. She and Stockman met with vendors of the electronic systems for demonstrations and quotes. They chose to buy from eInstruction. Additional sets can be purchased at the quoted price, Ward said. The student response systems will help with the CIITS program through KDE, Ward said. The Continuous

Instructional Improvement Technology System provides Kentucky educators with resources linked to state academic standards. CIITS allows teachers to create assessments and, through use of the student response system, have an immediate picture of student progress. This year’s professional development will include CIITS training. The annual Back to School Bash will be held at 6 p.m. July 30 in the multipurpose room. Ward said guid-

ance counselor Lori Wooton, who is in charge of the event, has received more donations for supplies and materials than ever before. Ward also told the council the First Baptist Church is collecting tissues for the elementary school. The Last Day of Play, sponsored by the Dawson Springs Police and Fire departments, will take place Aug. 1. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be Aug. 21 at 3:30 p.m.

Barbecue Run Will Be Held July 27 —Continued from front page Hillerich said that he believes the marathon will attract a larger audience base than the golf tournament usually held in Pennyrile.

••• GOING ON NOW! •••

“Not every one plays golf,” he said. “Hopefully this will invite more people, such as those who are health conscious.” Hillerich said that he hopes next year to include a one-mile “fun run” for chil-

dren to participate in. Registration on the event day will begin at 6:30 a.m. before the event begins. Registration forms and information can be found at the Community Center and Fitness Formula.

Drinking Water Report Shows Violations Down The Annual Compliance Report (ACR) on public water systems prepared by the Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) indicates healthbased violations dropped from 96 in 2011 to 48 in 2012. The report, required by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, lists Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 454 public water systems and any violations imposed in the previous calendar year. The 454 systems include cities, water districts, manufactured housing communities, schools, parks and campgrounds. Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public water supply systems test on a regular basis for bacteria, nitrates and other inorganic chemicals, radiological elements and more than 100 industrial chemicals and pesticides. The results are monitored by DOW. A water system that exceeds the standards for a contaminant is required to take corrective action and notify its customers. Most Kentucky water systems test their drinking water as required, submit the results to the Kentucky Division of Water on time and demonstrate that their drink-

ing water meets the maximum contaminant levels. When discrepancies occur, DOW issues a violation. The Annual Compliance Report compiles these violations and makes them available to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2012 ACR reveals that the majority of violations at Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public water systems last year involved administrative infractions rather than problems with water treatment,â&#x20AC;? said Julie Roney, coordinator of the DOW Drinking Water Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once a violation is issued, treatment is usually adjusted very quickly and most supplies soon return to the required ranges.â&#x20AC;? Roney said the division does, however, take seriously the requirement of public water systems to submit accurate monitoring reports in a timely manner. This emphasis is reflected in the number of administrative violations, which increased from 228 in 2011 to 398 in 2012. Administrative violations include reporting incorrect data as well as omitting required information and data. The DOW continues to

Murray State University Demolishes Ordway Hall By Hawkins Teague Murray Ledger & Times Murray State University has begun tearing down Ordway Hall today, leaving behind only the front wall as a memorial for one of the campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest buildings. According to a Web page created last year to commemorate the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90th anniversary, Ordway Hall was approved for construction on April 10, 1930. The 38,600-square-foot building was completed in 1931. Originally designed for men, it played its part in World War II when men were moved into Wells Hall and women were moved into Ordway while naval units were on campus. Ordway was renovated between 1955 and 1960 and made available again for women. Over the years, the building has fallen into disrepair, and it was estimated by the MSU Department for Fa-

cilities Management that it would take close to $8 million to renovate it with no structural upgrades. Kim Oatman, chief facilities officer, told the MSU Board of Regents in December 2011, however, that if the board decided not to demolish it, he and MSU President Dr. Randy Dunn recommended a different renovation plan that would cost approximately $9.34 million. According to a list of 201214 capital projects submitted to the state, consultants for the Council on Postsecondary Education recommended demolition because they considered it a fire hazard, and it was also not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The board voted 9-1 at that December 2011 meeting to demolish the building unless some funding came through to restore it. No funding source emerged, so the board finalized the decision at a later meeting.

Cervical Cancer:

The most preventable female cancer.

Achieving a dream, Centre College student Danielle Wahl completed the 21-mile swim across the English Channel in a breezy 9 hours and 49 minutes. The Channel Swimming Association, which officially monitors swims across the famous section of the Atlantic Ocean between England and France, recognized Wahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swim on its website, calling her time â&#x20AC;&#x153;brilliant.â&#x20AC;? Wahl was â&#x20AC;&#x153;elatedâ&#x20AC;? with her performance, reported her mother, Andrea Wahl, in a telephone interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud of her. My heart has been filled with many, many differnet emotions,â&#x20AC;? Andrea Wahl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud to have her as my daughter. All of those years of intense training, all of this intense training over the years has paid off dramatically for her. She will not quit. When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a mission, she gets it accomplished.â&#x20AC;? Wahl, a rising junior who officially began training in August at the Centre pool and Herrington Lake, is a member of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming and diving teams. She told The AdvocateMessenger in January she anticipated swimming the channel would be much different than her training

because she would have to contend with waves, sea animals, ocean currents and boat traffic, as well as take breaks for eating. That proved accurate, her mother said. The swimmer encountered a school of jellyfish about six miles in and was stung six times. The escort crew could not treat her in the boat, per the rules, but provided her aloe which they passed to her using a pole while she remained in the water. At the 19 mile mark, two miles from the French coast, Wahl ran into a stiff current that threatened to take her back out to sea, but she perservered, Andrea Wahl said. As Wahl prepared for her big swim in Herrington Lake, local resident Reed Sanders began following her efforts and kept up with Wahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploits in the channel on the Internet. Sanders said that Wahl began training at Herrington in November and continued, off and on, until she left campus in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lowest temperature she swam in here was 55 degrees,â&#x20AC;? Reed said. Andrea Wahl said the water temperature in the channel was 52 degrees when she began and 58 degrees when she finished. According to Centre spokesman Michael Strysick, Wahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time was one of the fastest recorded by a woman so far this year.

The Dawson Springs Progress — Wednesday, July 17, 2013

Changes Galore At Our School To say there will be lots of changes when school starts next month would be an understatement. Several longtime educators retired after the last school year and have been replaced. The high school secretary Donna Parker retired. (And let’s face it, we all know the school secretaries run the show at their school.) Then last week, Chris Smiley, the chairman of the board of education and a school board member for 24 1/2 years resigned in order for his daughter to apply for the job of one of the other retirees. Smiley was elected in November, 1988, and has been chairman of the board for many of those years (elected chairman after Dr. Herbert Chaney did not seek re-election in the early 1990s). As a school board member, Smiley was a member of the board when Danny Brown was hired, then was chairman during the hirings of David Boggs, Alexis Seymore and Charles Proffitt. However, he didn’t vote to hire Proffitt, who was selected by a 3-2 board vote last summer. Smiley, a member of the D.S.H.S. Class of 1976, served the board with nothing but the very best interests of the school in his heart and mind. He will be missed. ******************* Dictionary.com defines the word contract as an agreement between two or more parties for the doing or not doing of something specified. Contracts can be agreed upon for certain terms of time, such as the 3-7 year contracts that are routinely broken by basketball coaches, teams and universities. Some contracts can be for a lifetime, such as the contract between a man and wife who are married in a religious ceremony before God. Other contracts, such as the one the local school board and Charles Proffitt agreed to last summer, are for a term of four years. But just like basketball coaches and universities, we shouldn’t expect school superintendents to honor a contract. Obviously, it doesn’t seem right when either side in a contractural agreement bails out of the agreement without what is generally called “just cause.” I suppose one could reason that “just cause” is when it would appear to be a better situation for your family or for more money. “Just cause,” it could be reasoned, might be when you think the grass is greener on the other side or there are some personal issues. In other words, one could reason there are as many reasons for “just cause” as a human mind could think of. But in my mind, that still doesn’t make it right. Breaking a contract should be looked on as not keeping your word — except under extraordinary circum-

stances. At least that’s what I think about that. Now a few more thoughts from here about Proffitt’s resignation as superintendent… Because of the high esteem I have for former superintendent Alexis Seymore and because she thought he did a good job as assistant superintendent, he apparently was good at that job. It also appears he did a good job in his 13 months as superintendent. But in all actuality that can never be determined because in 13 months as a school superintendent you would have to be very bad to mess things up and very good to make much of a positive difference. Looking back on his hiring, the school board should never, ever, not in a million years, or for any reason, allow a school superintendent to accept the position without a full commitment to the community of Dawson Springs. What that means is anyone who agrees to be superintendent must also agree to make his or her residence here. That means the whole family — not just a part-time residence. In my mind that would mean a part-time commitment to the community. Most of us thought these things to be true before. However, in Mr. Proffitt’s case, with a child in his last two years of high school, it was easy to think an exception should be made. Looking back though, if he had been committed to the community, he would have moved his residence to Dawson Springs during the five or so years he was employed as assistant superintendent. The school board now is in a prickly position. First, they need another member; then they must go through the process of hiring a superintendent — again. They and we are lucky Ms. Seymore (DSHS Class of 1969) has agreed to come back. She is showing real commitment to Dawson Springs and our school. Then, second, the board must choose the successor to Proffitt. Let’s hope they not only insist, but make it mandatory the new “super” is fully committed to our community, as well as to our school. ******************* It’s definitely time to try to find some humor… The woman landed a good job with an accounting firm and after a while she got a generous raise. The day she found out about it, her husband picked her up from work and they stopped for ice cream. As they continued home, the woman blurted out, “Isn’t it hard to believe that I have a job that pays this much money?” Just then, she went to toss the last of her ice cream cone out the window. However, the window was closed and it smacked against the glass. Her husband replied calmly, “Yes.”

Paul’s Aide Is Questionable It’s time for Rand Paul to decide. Paul has spent quite a bit of energy recently casting himself as an inclusive sort of guy. With presidential ambitions, the junior senator from Kentucky seems to be eager to cast off the undercurrent of racism that has dogged his father, former presidential candidate and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul. The younger Paul has toed a moderate line on immigration and spoken at historically black colleges in this effort. But this week, a conservative Web site broke the story that Jack Hunter, the director of new media on the senator’s staff who also coauthored a book with him has a history that is decidedly at odds with most notions of inclusivity. Hunter worked for some time as a radio personality in South Carolina, using the name “Southern Avenger” and wearing a Confederate flag face mask in public. He also worked for a time as director of an organization that advocates the secession of southern states, and has toasted the assassin who killed President Abraham Lincoln. “John Wilkes Booth’s heart was in the right place. The Southern Avenger does regret that Lincoln’s murder automatically turned him into a martyr,” Hunter said in 2004. He has also written that he raises a toast to Booth annually on the assassin’s birthday. Rand Paul remained mum himself about Hunter for a couple of days but yesterday stood by his man. “If I

Commentary The Candidates Are Opposites You can stop waiting, guessing and hypothesizing: Republican Mitch McConnell officially has a Democratic challenger for his U.S. Senate seat in 2014. The lucky — or unlucky, when you consider the political poundings McConnell’s been known to deliver — woman is Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, who announced her bid recently alongside party bigwigs in a building that once housed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton’s Kentucky headquarters. The two candidates are opposite in more ways than their red and blue political views. McConnell is 71 and, with 28 years under his belt, the longest-serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history. Grimes is 34 and still new to politics, just midway through her first term in public office. But one thing they have in common? Neither wasted time trading verbal wallops. Grimes, at a press conference announcing her candidacy: “I agree with thousands of Kentuckians that Kentucky is tired of 28 years

of obstruction, that Kentucky is tired of someone who has voted against raising the minimum wage while all the while quadrupling his own net worth.” And McConnell, in a statement later that afternoon: “Accepting the invitation from countless Washington liberals to become President Obama’s Kentucky candidate was a courageous decision by Alison Lundergan Grimes, and I look forward to a respectful exchange of ideas.” We’ll believe that “respectful exchange of ideas” line when we see it in action. Meanwhile, please excuse us while we groan and hide our heads under the pillow for the next 16 months — 16 months! — of mudslinging until Election Day. Get ready for commercials galore, news stories out the wazoo and yard signs aplenty. And most of all get ready for money, money and more money. Grimes will need to aggressively raise funds to catch up with McConnell, who already had $8.6 mil—Continued on page A7

Letter To The Editor Television Is Not Good Dear Editor, A while back, it was Casey Anthony. For weeks and months Casey Anthony. Then we have Jodi Arias. Arias, Arias, Arias. That’s all we heard for weeks and weeks. Now lately, it’s George Zimmerman. All we hear is Zimmerman, Zimmerman and more Zimmerman. It has taken over the main news, and it seems to be on every channel. I could understand this if it was a celebrity like O.J. Simpson, but whoever

heard of George Zimmerman before he was charged with a crime? Murder is happening every day in this country. What makes one so much more outstanding than all the rest? Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing Zimmerman, Zimmerman and more Zimmerman besides me? Here is just one more complaint. I thought all TV stations were told to stop turning up the volume during TV commercials. I think they forgot to enforce that. I need to stop here. Zimmerman is on TV. I’m pulling the plug.

thought he was a white supremacist he would be fired immediately,” the senator said. Hunter has danced ever so delicately away from his past pronouncements. “In radio, sometimes you’re encouraged to be provocative and inflammatory,” he said after his past became news. “I am embarrassed by some of the comments I made precisely because they do not represent me today.” All very nice — Americans love confessions and second chances — but Rand Paul can’t have it both ways. Spin it however you want, but embracing the Confederate flag, southern secession and the man who killed a president known as The Great Emancipator are consistent with yearning for a time when enslaving black Americans was legal and acceptable in southern states. The fact that Hunter now claims he advocated those positions because it was his job to be provocative just adds “shameless opportunist” to the labels that can be applied to him. Hunter is a sideshow. He can shape-shift at will. Rand Paul, however, is a U.S. senator and an avowed presidential hopeful. He can’t have it both ways. It’s time for Paul to decide whether he’ll retain among his closest advisors a man who was willing to fan racial conflict and celebrate a presidential assassin just to make a buck, or if he wants to persuade the public that his professed inclusivity is something more than political posturing. —The Herald-Leader

Moments In Time • On July 15, 1888, the Bandai volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash. The eruption left an 8,000foot crater in the earth. In the aftermath, the ash from Bandai dimmed the sun slightly worldwide for months. • On July 21, 1899, Ernest Miller Hemingway, author of such novels as “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “The Old Man and the Sea,” is born in Oak Park, Ill. • On July 17, 1920, Nils Bohlin, the Swedish engineer and inventor responsible for the three-point lap-and-shoulder seatbelt, is born. Before 1959, only twopoint lap belts were available in automobiles, and for the most part, the only people who regularly buckled up

were race-car drivers. • On July 19, 1956, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles announces that the United States is withdrawing its offer of financial aid to Egypt to help with the construction of the Aswan Dam on the Nile River. The Soviet Union rushed to Egypt’s aid, and the Aswan Dam officially opened in 1964. • On July 18, 1969, shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Woodford Co. Distillery To Double Its Capacity By Janet Patton Lexington Herald-Leader Brown-Forman will double production capacity at its Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority board gave preliminary approval Thursday for $3 million in tax incentives for the $36.25 million project. The Louisville-based distiller will add three more copper pot stills as needed (in addition to the three it already uses) and double its bottling line. Both will go in existing historic buildings. Also coming are three new barrel warehouses that can hold 55,000 barrels each. The three-year construction is scheduled to begin in the fall; once all is completed the number of bourbon barrels stored there will skyrocket to 165,000 from about 8,000. “As a 142-year-old Kentucky company, Brown-Forman is proud to expand the Woodford Reserve Distillery, allowing us to meet the growing global demand for Woodford Reserve and continue to invest in our community,” said Chris Morris, master distiller at Woodford Reserve. “The world’s growing taste for premium North American whiskey is driving record exports of these U.S. spirits. Woodford Reserve experienced a record volume of nearly 250,000 nine-liter cases and grew net sales by 28 percent globally in fiscal 2013. We believe strong consumer interest in bourbon will continue and we’re expanding our production AUTO

capacity in an effort to meet this demand.” Woodford Reserve will continue to be batched, or blended, with bourbon produced at Brown-Forman’s column still in Shively, outside Louisville, except for the Master Collection, which is all produced on its pot stills in Versailles. The announcement is the latest in Kentucky’s recent bourbon boom: Large and small distilleries around the state have announced more than $300 million in investments in recent years, including expanded distilling capacity, new warehouses to hold more than 1 million new barrels a year, and visitor centers to capitalize on burgeoning fan interest in all things bourbon. Kentucky produces about 95 percent of all bourbon. More than 8,600 jobs are connected to the distilling industry, with a payroll of $413 million, according to a 2012 University of Louisville study. The Brown-Forman expansion will add about 15 jobs, with an average hourly wage, including employee benefits, of $22. The distillery currently employs about 29 people, according to KEDFA. In addition to Woodford Reserve, Brown-Forman Corp. produces Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, Southern Comfort liqueur, Finlandia vodka, Herradura tequila and Early Times and Old Forester bourbons. The company was founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown in Louisville. Today, the company employs nearly 4,000 people worldwide. A MEMBER SERVICE

Ky. Secretary Of State Launches New Web Site By Erick Carlson Business Lexington Businesses looking to search and file reports and those looking to submit forms for political candidacy will discover a redesigned Web site for the Kentucky Secretary of State. tThe new sos.ky.gov “offers many of the same features,” according to secretary of state spokeswoman Lynn Zellen, “it just makes them easier to find and more streamlined.” The new site, which is focused on being functional on mobile devices, has been in the works for six months, Zellen said and was launched so those looking to file annual business reports could do so on the old site until Monday’s filing deadline.

“We of course didn’t want the launch of the redesigned Web site to disrupt or confuse anyone who was trying to accomplish that filing,” Zellen said. “That was really the driving factor behind having today as the launch,” she said. Zellen said the timing did not have anything to do with her boss, Alison Lundergan Grimes’ announcement Monday of her intention to challenge Mitch McConnell for a seat in the U.S. Senate. “The redesigned Web site enables constituents to find what they need,” a release from the Secretary of State’s office reads, “from business filings to election information, from historical records to current events – quickly and conveniently.”

The Candidates Are Different —Continued from page A6 lion in his campaign coffers as of March 31. The senator spent more than $21.3 million in 2008 to defeat Democrat Bruce Lunsford by 6 percentage points. “You can’t with money buy everything there is to get,” Frankfort’s own Julian Carroll said after the press conference, adding that Grimes has the support of Democratic officeholders and prominent figures such as former President Bill Clinton. National pundits were already placing bets, predicting Grimes will provide a strong challenge for McConnell, but will ultimately fall. Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, graded the race “likely Republican.” The New York Times’ FiveThirtyEight blog said McConnell would likely win re-election, citing four partisan polls showing the incumbent with an average 4.5

percent lead over Grimes. The horserace may be fun to watch at times, and people all across the country will watch it with us. But by November 2014, we will probably feel less like excited spectators in the grandstand and more like we just ran around the track ourselves. Grimes said Monday she was “overwhelmed” by the support she’s received throughout the state. We feel “overwhelmed” too — with the whole thing.

The Kentucky Personnel Cabinet has launched a new Web experience for nearly 33,000 state employees, thousands of job seekers and 275,000 benefit participants. The new site features streamlined content, quick navigation options based on customer needs and advanced search functions. Innovative elements include the automation of select business requests, enhanced online customer support, and reporting functionality for HR system users. “We work to ensure we are a transparent, responsive and helpful source of information for our stakeholders and customers,” said Secretary of the Personnel Cabinet Tim Longmeyer. “As technology advances, we must adapt to the needs of those we serve. We’re extremely pleased with the end result, and we think our many customers will be too.” While the Web site look and feel is new, the address remains the same, Personnel.ky.gov. Employees can find information about jobrelated benefits and services. They can also search and register for training opportunities, submit an idea to the Employee Suggestion System, enroll in insurance coverage, and much more. Recognizing the need to offer a site dedicated to state job seekers, the Personnel Cabinet introduced Kentucky Careers, Careers. ky.gov. Here, job seekers can view current job openings, update an application, and apply for jobs. A new resource center includes a quick-start guide, tips and support resources. “Effectively communicating the benefits of state employment and how to apply for vacancies is crucial to recruiting and retaining a talented and diverse workforce,” said Longmeyer. Over the past several years, the cabinet has made it a priority to increase wellness offerings and benefits

to Kentucky teachers, retirees, state employees and some quasi-government employees who participate in the Kentucky Employees’ Health Plan. As a result, KEHP launched the LivingWell Program, which provides members free online access to HumanaVitality, a fully-incentivized rewardsbased wellness program. The LivingWell Program also unveiled a refreshed site, LivingWell.ky.gov, which caters specifically to health plan members who are looking for resources to improve their health and wellbeing. The new site offers direct access to find and schedule a biometric screening, get a health coach, complete a health assessment, and resources for quitting tobacco, healthy kids, weight management and worksite wellness.

Devotion To UK Basketball Subject Of Film By Rachel Gilliam The Winchester Sun There is a story former University of Kentucky basketball coach Joe B. Hall likes to tell. A season-ticket holder is at a game alone and the people sitting around him start asking about the empty seat next to him. “I usually come with my wife,” the man said, “but she can’t come anymore.” The questioning continues — couldn’t he have just brought another family member or friend? “Well, I would have, but they’re all at her funeral,” he said. According to coach Hall, “It’s absolutely true.” That kind of fanatic devotion is the subject of a new documentary, “The Sixth Man,” by filmmaker Jason Epperson and former Winchester residents Lee Cruse and brothers Steve and Tim Bates. Epperson and Steve Bates began filming promotional clips for the film Friday at the Winchester Opera House, with local fans, as well as Hall and former Miss America Heather French Henry. “We want to show that everybody’s a fan. That’s the concept, that we’re all the sixth man,” Epperson said. Father Jim Sichko, a Catholic priest from Richmond, was recruited to portray himself in the promotion, to show, as Epperson puts it, that “it’s a religion.” “It’s such a passion around here,” Bates said. “There’s been all kinds of documentaries about the team, the coach, but nothing about the fans.” While some may see those fans as a distraction for players and coaches, Hall said he relished the excitement surrounding the program. “The fans, they mean so much to the program. The fans reflect the tradition, they are keepers of the tradition, and they insist it is kept at the highest level,” Hall said. And, when it came to the fans and the lengths they would go to in support of their team, Hall said, “Nothing surprised me.” That includes season tickets split in divorce settlements, or a man attending a basketball game instead of his wife’s funeral. “A coach loves the passion of the fans. You have to have a thick hide,” Hall said. For him, that meant reading every single letter sent to his office, good, bad or in between, during his tenure from 1972 to 1985. Hall said he tried to respond to every critical letter that included a name and return address. Epperson said he expects the film to be ready in October, in time for Big Blue Madness, the event that inspired him and the Bates brothers to make the documentary. In 2010, they met a fan who broke an arm but refused to go to the hospital because he didn’t want to lose his spot in line to get tickets to the event. “It’s full force. We’re ready to get it going. It’s funny. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll laugh again,” Steve Bates said. The filmmakers plan to tour the state screening the film, including stops in Richmond, Lexington and possibly Winchester. The film also will be available at select stores and in digital format on Amazon and iTunes.

Kentuckian Is Selected To Play In Baseball’s Annual All-Star Game By Chuck Jones The News-Enterprise

Steve Delabar’s path to Major League Baseball is the road least traveled. It’s a remarkable journey from minor league prospect to pitching in an independent league, from being out of baseball to getting a second chance and cashing in on the opportunity. Delabar, a Toronto Blue Jays reliever, was selected to play in the All-Star Game at the New York Mets’ Citi Field, completing one of the greatest stories in baseball which seems straight out of Hollywood. Three years ago, Delabar

was working as a substitute teacher and coaching baseball at John Hardin High School after being released by the San Diego Padres in 2008 and then suffering a horrific injury with the Brockton Rox of the independent Can-Am League in 2009. To repair his right elbow, he needed a plate and nine screws But a throwing program called Velocity led to a second chance. Delabar saw tremendous gains which led to an opportunity to work out for the Mariners. Seattle came away impressed and signed Delabar to a contract in 2011. He advanced through all three

minor league levels before making his Major League debut in September. The Mariners shipped Delabar to Toronto last year. He is 5-1 with a 1.71 ERA and has struck out 58 in 42 innings. “Somebody asked me, ‘If I told you, you would be up for consideration three years ago ...’ I would have laughed at them,” Delabar said. “You just go day by day, and just work hard for the future and hope that all things play out. You never expect something like this to happen. You just kind of go about doing your job and hoping good things happen.”

Kenny Perry Comes Through; Basketball Blunders Sports In Kentucky When Kenny Perry came huffing and puffing to the 18th green at the 34th Seniors Open Golf Tournament Sunday in Omaha, we had to smile. An age thing. Here’s our guy again. Two weeks removed from winning his first Senior Players Championship in Pittsburgh, Perry had wobbled the first two days in Omaha then charged to the front and led by five as he came up the hill to enjoy Bob Watkins teevee face-time, applause and whistles reserved for a winner on a Sunday even ing ahead of 60 Minutes. Here he was again. Man from Franklin and Western Kentucky U., owner of 14 PGA Tour titles, five after age 47, and now back-to-back wins on the Senior tour in as many starts. “It’s probably my greatest win,” Perry told reporters. Probably closer to true than they realized. Kenny Perry has come of age, found a niche where happiness lives and what might’ve been (Masters or PGA Open) don’t. Bit portly these days, Perry’s thatch of more salt than pepper hair under the visor are signs of a road well traveled. Come Aug. 10, a birthday, 53. James Kenneth Perry looked confident and comfortable as he navigated the last nine holes Sunday seemingly oblivious to Fred Funk and Rocco Mediate on his flank, then fading into early evening. Here was our guy coming home at top of his game ... where happiness lives. His greatest win? Yep. For a week, a month, a summer perhaps, the king of the Seniors Circuit is Kentucky’s own Kenny Perry.

Baseball Midsummer Review As Major League Baseball broke for its midsummer classic, one man’s highlights from the season’s first half are these: 1. St. Louis Cardinals. Best record in baseball 57-36 without ace starter Chris Carpenter or closer Jason Mott. Over 93 games manager Mike Matheny mixed and matched brilliantly. 2. Chris Davis in Baltimore. Gorgeous home run swing. Davis had 37 homers at the break.

3. Pittsburgh Pirates. Second best record in baseball a game behind the Cardinals and 19 games over .500, the Pirates have become one of the most popular franchises in MLB. Top seller at the All-Star game in New York City this week? Pirates’ black and gold gear. 4. Steve Delabar. Baseball story of the year could become Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Steve Delabar. From low minors to Tommy John surgery to two seasons with Seattle Mariners to substitute teacher at Central Hardin High School in Elizabethtown, to a call-up to the Blue Jays bullpen. Then: American League all-star roster, selected by the fans. No flash-in-the-pan, if Delabar’s statistics were logged into Baseball’s Encyclopedia today they would read 10 wins in 15 decisions, 2.97 ERA and 157 strike outs. Postscript. Born in Ireland Army Hospital at Fort Knox, Delabar celebrated his birthday 24 hours after the Midsummer Classic. On July 17 he turned 30.

Blunders At Kentucky? An opinion piece at an internet site last week titled: “Five biggest blunders in University of Kentucky basketball history,” was superficial, shallow and sensational as intended. But the idea was fair. Point shaving scandal in the 1940s made the list naturally. The $1,000 cash package to Chris Mills father Claud, allegedly sent by assistant coach Dwane Casey mid-1980s, should not make even a top 10. As recently as 2011 Eddie Sutton said “it was a set up.” Not listed, but should have been, these blunders ... √ Academic fraud involving recruit Eric Manual on Sutton’s watch brought NCAA sanctions. √ Slush fund for players during Joe B. Hall’s tenure did same.

Legitimate Blunders List Having seen and written about basketball at Kentucky for four-plus decades, a legitimate Blunders List ... 1. NCAA shame. In 1954, three starters on an undefeated team (25-0) were declared ineligible because they were fifth year seniors or graduate students. Notably ... √ With threat of injunction to block suspensions of Cliff Hagan, Frank Ramsey and Lou Tsioropoulos available in today’s game all would have played. √ 1954 NCAA championship. LaSalle won the title.

Kentucky had coasted past the Explorers 73-60 earlier in the season. 2. Having recruited Alfred ‘Butch’ Beard to within a whisker of signed scholarship in 1965, inability to persuade Breckinridge County’s Mr. Basketball winner to be the SEC’s first black player was a historic blunder. Assurances that Beard not only would be protected, but show-cased as the SEC’s first black player, should have been paramount. √ The affable and gifted Beard could’ve been to Kentucky basketball what Perry Wallace came to represent to the SEC at Vanderbilt in 1968. Distinguished. √ Pre-empted racial rant became legend from Texas Western-Kentucky game in spring 1966. √ Would have compromised a recruiting tool against UK a decade before recruiter Joe B. Hall arrived. 3. Academic fraud. A blunder that rates with point shaving. The NCAA ruled that another student took an entrance exam for freshman Eric Manuel. 4. Institution of 3-5 second delay, radio-to-television broadcasts ending the popular “turn down the teevee sound and listen to Cawood’s play-by-play.” 5. SEC shame. Administrators failed to recognize it had right man for the times to build its basketball market. Adolph Rupp was not shy to cast the challenge: “If you don’t want Kentucky beating your brains out all the time, upgrade your programs!” They did. Others took the bows later and/or received the credit.

Worth Repeating Dept.

UCLA will pay Steve Alford $2.6 million a year for seven, or $18.2 million total. If he quits before 2016, Alford must pay UCLA $10.4 million. Penalty drops each year to $7.8 million, $5.2 million and finally $2.6 million in his final year. The contract calls for UCLA to pay Alford the same amounts if he’s fired. “We wanted the commitment to be strong on both sides,” associate director of athletics Mark Harlan said. “We didn’t want him going anywhere.” Translation: UCLA does not trust its ball coach nor does ball coach trust his employer. Snapshot of today’s college ball coach environment. And so it goes. You can reach Bob Watkins at s prtsinky@aol.com.

Blue Water Trails — Green River In Hart County By Lee McClellan The karst topography surrounding the Green River in Hart County produces some of the highest water quality in Kentucky. Many springs empty into the river in this stretch that pump a constant flow of clean, cold water and give the river a color more reminiscent of the shallows of the Caribbean than south-central Kentucky. The Green in this stretch is one of the most biologically diverse in the world, holding species only found in this river system. It holds 70 species of mussels. Some are extremely rare mussels once abundant in the Ohio Valley, but which are now tenuously holding on to their presence on Earth in the Green. The strategic importance of the river also made it a theater of battle during the Civil War. Three floats give visitors an intimate view of arguably the most scenic stretch of Green River. This section features springs bursting from river bluffs, islands, chutes, mild riffles and long deep holes, which are perfect for beginners or a family seeking a day away from the world. The drive to the put-in and take-out locations may rival the scenic grandeur of the Green itself. This stretch also holds healthy, big smallmouth bass and some large muskellunge. The first 9½-mile all-day float begins at the mouth of Lynn Camp Creek near the Hart and Green county line. Lynn Camp Creek held the first gunpowder mill in Kentucky, producing powder used by Gen. Andrew Jackson in his victory over the British in the last battle of the War of 1812. Contact Big Buffalo Crossing Canoe and Kayak Rentals in Munfordville about shuttles to use this access or obtain landowner permission. The Green runs fairly straight for a little over a mile until the river bends hard left at a feature called the Narrows at the end of Davis Bend. A long sand bar just before the bend is a productive place to work a black 4-inch double-tailed skirted grub rigged on a 3/16-ounce standup leadhead for smallmouth bass. Several similar sandbars that create riffles lie in this stretch and should be fished with the same rig. The flowing, rocky outside bends of the river in this stretch hold smallmouths as well. Just after the bend, the river flows around Round Bottom. In the middle of the bottom lies the Three Hundred Springs, a series of small waterfalls that seem to flow from bushes on the side of a bluff. It is one of the most unique spots paddlers will visit in Kentucky, but they flow to a trickle during dry periods. After rounding Figett Bend to the left, Bell Cliff soars above the paddler on the right (looking downstream). The river then snakes back on itself around Watkins Bend and Horseshoe Bend and under Knox and Grindstone knobs before flowing under the U.S. 31 E Bridge. The take-out is just downstream of the bridge on the right at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources’ Upper Green River Voluntary Public Access (VPA) ramp at the forgotten community of Rio, also called Rio Springs. The ramp is a short distance down East Glen Lily Road off U.S. 31 E, just past a power substation on the left. The next float begins at Upper Green River VPA and ends 8 miles downstream at Harry Wilson Park. The Green widens and slows in this stretch. Many sand bars greet boaters in this section of the river and the flowing upper and lower reaches of these bars hold smallmouth bass. Fish the fallen tree tops and root wads in the deeper holes with a gold and black medium-running crankbait for muskellunge. As the river flows downstream from Rio, paddlers round Thomas Bend and the estate of Confederate Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner who participated in the Battles of Munfordville and Perryville. Buckner also served as the 30th Governor of Kentucky. In the middle of Thomas Bend, Buckner Spring greets the Green River, forming an island that holds smallmouth bass in summer as well as an injection of cool water from the spring during wet periods. The Green flows south and bends right under Boyd Knob before flowing to the take-out at Harry Wilson Park, off KY 2185. Look for orange tape on a guard rail in a sharp curve of the road for the turn into the park. Johnson Spring meets the river right here. The next 4-mile float begins at Harry Wilson Park and

downtown Munfordville, at what the pioneers called the Big Buffalo Crossing. This ancient crossing, used by Native Americans and bison for centuries, was also the site of Amos’ Ferry that operated for over 100 years. A highway bridge made the ferry obsolete in 1907, but the old piers from this early bridge stand on both sides of the river at the ramp. Visitors may combine a day of hiking along the Green with a paddle back to Munfordville by taking the 4 ½-mile Jenny Wilson Byrd Memorial Trail. The trail begins in at Thelma Stovall Park and concludes at Harry Wilson Park and features small bluffs, wildflowers, springs and continuous views of the river. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Bridge at Munfordville was vitally important for access to the interior of the upper South for both sides during the Civil War. A battle ensued from Sept. 14 – 17, 1862 for control of this important bridge. The Union forces held out valiantly, inflicting heavy casualties on the officers of the Mississippi regiments attempting to take the bridge. The Union surrendered after an overwhelming Confederate force under Gen. Braxton Bragg advanced to Munfordville. Visitors paddling Green River may also take a walking and cellphone tour of historic sites in downtown Munfordville and visit the Battle of the Bridge Historic Preserve. Big Buffalo Crossing Canoe and Kayak Rentals offers canoe and kayak rentals, overnight floats with primitive camping and shuttles. Author Lee McClellan is an award-winning associate editor for Kentucky Afield magazine, the official publication of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. He is a life-long hunter and angler, with a passion for smallmouth bass fishing.

The Green River in Hart County has exceptional water quality and home to some of the rarest animals on Earth. Paddlers on this stretch of the river can expect gentle riffles, waterfalls, bluffs and exceptional scenery to complement the productive fishing for smallmouth bass and muskellunge. This view looks downstream from the ramp at Thelma Stovall Park in Munfordville at what the pioneers called the Big Buffalo Crossing of the Green.

ends at Thelma Stovall Park, also called Green River Park, in Munfordville. This is an easy half-day float with short shuttles. Immediately downstream of the put-in, the river takes a hard left at Sims Bend and then flows again to the right. Anglers should target flowing water around the two large sandbars in this area for smallmouth bass. After the last sandbar, the Green flows deeper with several fallen trees that hold bluegill and on occasion, muskellunge. Anglers may pick up a few crappie here as well. A final sandbar meets boaters just above the U.S. 31 W Bridge. The take-out lies a little downstream of the bridge on the right at the ramp in Thelma Stovall Park on River Road in

AMBER WAVES by Dave T. Phipps

To Your Good Health

By Paul G. Donohue, M.D. Hormones Can Cause Female Facial Hair DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I’m a 26-year-old woman with an embarrassing problem. I’m growing a mustache. What causes this? I have started to shave, but I worry that shaving is going to make the hair grow faster and coarser. I see some hair on my breasts, too. What can I do about this? -- V.K. ANSWER: Hair growth in females in places where it should be found only in males is hirsutism (HEREsuit-izm). Such areas include the skin above the upper lip, the chin, the chest, the thighs, the upper back and the abdomen. Hair in those places is sensitive to the action of male hormones. Common causes for such hair growth are idiopathic (a definite cause not found), menopause (when female hormone production dips) and polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovary syndrome is fairly common. Signs of it are a diminution or complete stoppage of menstrual periods, hirsutism, obesity and large ovaries with many cysts. One of the mechanisms responsible for some polycystic ovary symptoms is an overproduction of androgen -- male hormones. The unwanted pattern of hair growth stems from androgen excess. Idiopathic hirsutism --

hair growth without a cause found – might be a mild form of polycystic ovary syndrome. That’s a popular theory expounded by many experts. Rarer causes of hirsutism include adrenal gland overactivity, tumors of the adrenal gland or ovary, pituitary gland tumors and some prescription medicines. You’re not going to solve this on your own. You need a doctor to evaluate your hormone status. The appropriate treatment hinges on finding a specific cause. When a cause cannot be found, shaving, electrolysis, depilatories (chemical hair removers) and laser treatments are options. Shaving doesn’t make hair grow faster or coarser. Vaniqa cream, a prescription item, gets rid of unwanted hair quite well. Birthcontrol pills work when a woman needs estrogen. Spironolactone, a water pill, can counter the influence of male hormones and is often useful. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the appropriate time interval for a repeat colonoscopy? I have different information from doctors. I had my first colonoscopy when I was 51. The doctor who performed it said I didn’t need another until I was 61. A different doctor says I need a repeat at 56. Which is it? -- E.P. ANSWER: If no polyps

were found on your first exam and if you have no close relatives who have had colon cancer, then the usual time for the next exam is 10 years. Otherwise, it is five years. The booklet on colon cancer explains its detection and treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 505W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This is a silly question, but I’d like to know: Why do men spit so much? Baseball players do it all the time. -- L.L. ANSWER: I don’t know. It might be a habit. Baseball players get dried out and their saliva thickens. That’s one reason they spit. Some chew tobacco. Another reason. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Forget Me Not 5K Run: Alzheimer’s Fund Raiser Staff Reporter The Times Leader

EMMA RUSSELL, three-year-old daughter of Mike and Racheal Russell, was the youngest rider at the recent trail ride sponsored by the Dawson Springs Health and Rehabilation Center. submitted photo

Local Nursing Home Has Trail Ride For Residents Dawson Springs Health and Rehabilitation Center held a Ride for Our Residents trail ride recently. The ride could become an annual event. Rick Morgan, Gerald Igleheart and Mike Russell helped to organize the ride,

Stephanie Gamblin of Princeton is using her love of physical fitness as a way to honor her father and educate the public about the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The first, and hopefully annual, Forget Me Not 5K Walk/Run will be held Saturday, Aug. 3, through downtown Dawson Springs. The race itself begins at 8 a.m., but on-site registration starts at 7 a.m. at the Dawson Springs High School Parking lot. Gamblin, a Dawson Springs native who now lives and works in Princeton, has spent recent years raising money and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. Her father Tommy Hunt, a retired coal miner from Dawson Springs, was diagnosed with the disease when he was 62. “I thought he would just forget things, and I was mainly worried about him

forgetting my name,” said Gamblin. “But Alzheimer’s isn’t just about forgetting people’s names or forgetting memories. This is a fatal disease.” Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the country and the only cause of death among the top 10 in the U.S. that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. Right now, 80,000 people in Kentucky are suffering from the disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org). When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at a young age like Hunt, the disease tends to progress at a more rapid rate. He lost his battle Aug. 13, 2012, at the age of 70. Gamblin, though, continues to fight for the cause. She formed a team “Tommy’s Girls,” which hosts fund-raisers year-round in preparation for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s hosted in

along with other volunteers. Riders from Dawson Springs and surrounding counties supported the event. The youngest participant was Emma Russell, 3-yearold daughter of Mike and Racheal Russell.

Dawson Springs residents are honoring the life of Tommy Hunt with a 5K walk/run on Aug. 3. Hunt lost his battle with Alzheimer’s in August 2012 and all proceeds from the race will go to Alzheimer’s Association. Helping with the event are (front, from left) LaDonna Hooper, Brenda Hunt, Stephanie Gamblin, (middle) Punkin Arnett, Shelia Ausenbaugh, Lori Back and (back) Becky Hatton. Register for the race at active.com. submitted photo Hopkinsville. “Last year, we were the top fund-raising team, and we want to do it again this year,” said Gamblin. Another one of Gamblin’s projects for the Alzheimer’s Association has been in trying to get a specialty license plate on cars in the state. In 2011, she partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association of Greater Kentucky to design a specialty license plate. So far, 391 people have signed up to receive those plates, which will not only serve as a visual reminder of those suffering from the disease but will also help raise funds for local education initiatives. The deadline to sign up for the Alzheimer plate has been extended to June 2015. An additional 509 people must sign up for the plate in order for it to hit the road.

Gamblin said she will have applications for the license plates available during the Aug. 3 run/walk. “I have been participating in 5K’s and just love them,” said Gamblin. “I have done some in the area — Eddyville, Crofton, but also did one in Evansville, one in Florida. Most have been for some type of charity, and I just thought a 5K would be a great fund-raiser for ‘Tommy’s Girls’ if I could pull it together.” With help from friends, family and many local churches and organizations in and around Dawson Springs, Gamblin has done just that. “So many people are coming together to help — First Baptist Church in Dawson Springs, First United Methodist Church of Dawson Springs

One half of one of the most successful acts in country music history will be coming to Murray in September. Naomi Judd, who along with daughter Wynonna won over country fans throughout the world in the 1980s and ’90s as the duo The Judds, is not participating in the inaugural Healthy Living & Wellness Expo to

talk music. Instead, Judd, whose diagnosis with a serious disease in 1991 effectively ended the run for the duo, is coming to discuss healthy living, and event organizers believe they have the perfect person to headline the event. The expo will last most of the day, offering numerous seminars and exhibits to the public free of charge. Judd’s appearance is scheduled for 7 p.m., with tickets for that segment set at $35 each.

The Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site was recently listed as one of the “10 great places to visit Civil War sites” by USA Today. On Oct. 8, 1862, Perryville became the site of the most destructive Civil War battle in the state, which left more than 7,600 killed, wounded or missing. The battlefield is one of the most unaltered Civil War sites in the nation, according to the Kentucky Department of Parks. USA Today partnered

with Jeff Shaara, author of “Jeff Shaara’s Civil War Battlefields: Discovering America’s Hallowed Ground,” to choose 10 “noteworthy” battlefields. Perryville was listed among sites in Antietam, Md.; Vicksburg, Miss.; Petersburg, Va.; Manassas, Va.; Shiloh, Tenn.; Mobile Bay, Ala.; Glorieta Pass, N.M.; Chickamauga, Ga.; and Olustee, Fla. Perryville Battlefield received national attention earlier this year when the Battle of Perryville’s 150th Commemoration was featured on an episode of RFD-TV’s “Small Town Big Deal.”

Home from Washington, D.C. (1914), a continuation of John and Selina Smith Osborne’s story, is presented at Adsmore Sept. 28 through Nov. 6. “Visitors to Adsmore have been entertained by stories of John and Selina’s engagement while on a Grand Tour and have seen the preparations for their 1907 wedding held in Adsmore’s parlor. Now we tell about their exciting years in Washington, D.C., while John served as undersecretary of state in the Woodrow Wilson Administration,” said Ardell Jarratt, curator. “This was a time of great change. We moved from the Victorian Era into the Progressive Era

and were on the brink of a world war. Members of the Smith-Garrett family were active participants in major events unfolding during this time.” White House invitations and mementos, new clothing styles and pictures from the Osborne’s travels while John was undersecretary of state bring this tour alive. Visitors will travel back to the opening of the Panama Canal, the marriages of President and Mrs. Wilson’s daughters and Selina in their Detroit Electric collecting her husband from work. Phone 365-3114 or e-mail Adsmore@vci.net for additional information and special group rates.
