Board Begins Superintendent Hiring Process

By Carolyn Walker

MILLING work was completed on a section of Highway 62 running through downtown Dawson Springs Friday, Aug. 9, in preparation for repaving of the highway which is Arcadia Avenue. Another project to prepare for the repaving will involve closing West Arcadia Avenue to truck traffic and restricting other vehicles near the Oak Street intersection Friday in order to replace a cross drain.

Chamber Discusses Barbecue Successes And Improvements

By Carolyn Walker The Dawson Springs Chamber of Commerce recapped the local Independence Day celebration at Tuesday’s meeting.

“It was a tremendous success,” president Jenny Sewell said, thanking all those who played a part in the festivities.

Sewell said she has had many com-

pliments on the event, which drew a large crowd. The only negative anyone brought up, she said, was that parking was packed tighter than usual. This was because approximately a quarter of the parking area was wet as a result of the recent rainfall.

Vendors were also successful with their booths. The local nursing homes made more than $600 for the patients’ Christmas fund with a booth which sold

lemon shake-ups and glow jewelry.

Main Street manager Melissa Heflin said the break between the game and the fireworks was very good for food sales. Heflin also commented that she is glad events such as this and the annual Barbecue are now able to help local nonprofits.

Sewell asked members to think

The Dawson Springs Board of Education was approved as a search agent for hiring a new superintendent at a special called meeting Thursday.

“I think it is a smart thing to do,” said interim superintendent Alexis Seymore. By conducting the search locally rather than employing a firm, the district can save approximately $5,000, she said.

Tracy Overby was selected as the board member representative on the screening committee. Other committee members are Kathy Kelley, K–6 teacher; Brandon Godbey, 7–12 teacher; Cassie

Bruch, PTO president; Jennifer Ward, principal representative; and Brenda Purdy, classified employee.

The board also approved a tentative timeline for the search which began with the required job posting period Aug. 2 through Sept. 2. During the posting period, each applicant will be sent a set of written questions to be answered within two weeks.

The committee will be given copies of all applications at a meeting Sept. 16.

Seymore said committee members will evaluate candidate packets individually before comparing them to see if any candidates “rise to —Continued on page A5

Annual Fun Night Is Friday The annual Fun Night, sponsored by the Dawson Springs Parent-Teacher Organization, will take place Friday at the municipal park. The event, a back-to-school tradition since 1974, is an opportunity for classes to have fun together and to win money for their treasuries. The winner of the Class Spirit Award will earn an extra $25 in addition to the other cash prizes.

Games for grades 5–8 will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., followed by the high school games from 7:45 to 9:30 p.m. The games include the mega obstacle course relay, egg toss, bucket brigade relay, sack race, mummy wrap, egg relay, balloon toss, tape run, sponge brigade, balancing act and tug-of-war.

second mission trip to africa

Woman Finds Hope During Ugandan Mission Trip

By Jacob Parker People lay in the street outside a hospital with a variety of ailments such as typhoid and AIDS. Filled with hopeless anguish and unclean wounds, unable to escape the sickness or afford proper medical treatment, they lay in the street surrounded by decay. Out in the city, adults sift through trash and look for food or tools to help with survival.

Meanwhile, the children play in tainted water that, albeit discolored by animal and human waste, is used for bathing and drinking. Barren and desolate, Kampala,

Uganda, ended up helping one woman find hope. From July 3 to July 27, Tana Roberts spent her time in Kampala, administering help and medication to the people and children in the city.

“The living conditions are beyond what words can convey,” she said. “It’s a mixture of images, sounds and smells that envelope the destitution.”

Roberts said she met one 8-year-old boy who stood out in her mind. George is ill with typhoid, a bacterial disease transmitted through consuming food or water contaminated with feces of those who already have

the disease. The sickness preforates the intestine, which in turn expands from the buildup of pus.

George, whose family had no money, means of transportation or food, was ineligible to receive proper treatment and care because of his inability to pay for surgery or medicine.

Despite the educated doctor at a better hospital, George’s unmedicated surgery consisted of his chest being cut open to release the infection, the incision extending to three inches past his naval.

“The care was prehistoric,” she said.

After the procedure, 2-inch metal clasps were used along the the skin to hold it together, and his colon remained outside his body wrapped in dirty rags.

This allowed for George to be reopened, cleaned and hooked back together.

On the other side of his stomach, two tubes protrude to release infection from inside, long enough keep the skin from growing back together, and safety-pinned to keep from getting lost within his body.

“The doctor poked him and infection just ran out,” —Continued on page A4

of opportunity, that coveted rite of passage After leaving my of attending a fourhometown of 18 years, year college far enough Madisonville, to attend away from home to feel Western Kentucky independent but close University two years enough to provide some ago, I didn’t have many small remnants of the intentions of turning home security I was now back for more than an PARKER being asked to forsake. infinitesimal second.

I made a life for myself I was plagued with what most in Bowling Green. I started renting teenagers experience when finally out a comfortable trailer that was presented with that golden window reasonably close to campus as well

as to my job. A year and a half later, I got a call from Scott Dillingham offering me an internship through the Kentucky Press Association.

Instantly, I accepted. Instantly, I was apprehensive.

I suppose I’m one of those kids who find themselves once they go off to college, immersing themselves into cultures and ways of thinking they were previously, violently and impressively ignorant of. A totally different person, I was coming back to my home that I had

left for my longest stay in almost two years.

In the most modest way, I was no longer a part of my geographical culture’s norm when I came back.

Before the internship began, multiple encounters in Wal-mart with acquaintances from my past gave me what I felt would be an insight into what being back home would be like. Their eyes drift toward (and on through) my ears, smiles become fixed and every word lingers like a long, drawn out

syllable as they wonder what in the world I did to my ears (and why).

Dawson Springs, however, met me at the gate with arms stretched out in greeting. This is unequivocably the most unique community I have ever had the fortune of being in. For one thing, the smiles here aren’t fake. The friendliness, warmth and genuine interest in the smile radiates around everyone in the community.

KSP Announces Funding To Reduce Youth Drinking Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer announced last week that the agency is accepting mini-grant proposals for underage drinking prevention projects. Five $2,500 mini-grants and one $25,000 enforcement grant will be awarded. The funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention block grant. KSP serves as the designated state administrator for the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws grant.

“Enforcement is vital to reducing underage drinking in Kentucky, but it must be accompanied by an educational component that will bring awareness about the serious dangers involved,” said Brewer. “These federal dollars will allow communities to work together to identify local need and sustain a successful strategy to combat underage drinking.”

According to Brewer, the two main contributing factors to underage drinking are a youth’s ability to illegally purchase alcohol and obtaining someone over the age of 21 to purchase it for them.

Womans Finds Hope During Ugandan Mission Trip —Continued from front page she said. “It was probably the worst thing I have ever seen.”

Through Tana and the others, George was able to begin taking medicine and, by the time the trip was over, his health was improving despite his colon remaining on the outside.

Though unable to speak much English, George still was able to convey that he would like to be a pastor, often quoting his favorite verse: Philippians 4:13.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Ever since becoming a Christian when she was a child, Roberts has felt the desire to serve in missions.

However, she said after going on her first mission trip, she came back to the States feeling as though she had

accomplished nothing.

“I’m an outcome-based person,” she said. “So I asked myself, was I successful?”

She was only able to see the things her group wasn’t able to accomplish, such as changing the living conditions or the terrible health problems.

“I struggled with so much guilt, the feeling of helplessness and the question of what good did we really do?” she said.

Realizing that solving every problem wasn’t the intention of the trip, Roberts felt differently the second time around.

Helping out in a disability home and seeing the people praise God despite their unfortunate circumstances was a defining moment.

“How humbling it was to see and experience such love, gratitude and

faith when every day is a struggle just to survive,” she said.

Roberts said she began to see the point was for the team to love as Jesus Christ had loved.

“It’s the process of being over there and loving people that’s the outcome,” she said. “It makes you love people and see them in a different way when you come back.”

Roberts was inspired by the corporation, Loving One by One, to incorporate her own nonprofit called Connecting Adventures that will work to provide care for orphans and impoverished people.

“It will provide activities for our community to teach compassion, mercy, and love and provide opportunities to connect in adventures of love that will change lives,” she said.

NAMAWANGA, the slum area of the city, was one of the places Roberts and her group visited.

TANA ROBERTS holds baby Thomas, whose mother first attempted to give him away. Because of previous tragedies with her children, the mother didn’t name the baby for fear of getting attached.

Through prayer and aid, the group and the mother named the boy Thomas. School children (left) color with Roberts during their break from class.

Progress Intern Enjoyed His Time In Community

—Continued from front page

“Community.” It’s a word that is thrown around quite often to describe a place where multiple people live. However, unlike “city” and “town,” “community” signifies so much more.

Dawson Springs is a community where everyone knows one another, and is glad to lift a hand.

It’s a community where people wave when passing on the street and where people matter.

Many good-hearted jokes are made to relate Dawson Springs to the fictional town of Mayberry,

which some people might not be fond of. But the “good ‘ole small town vibes” are what this city has going for it.

Maybe it doesn’t have highrise apartments or corporate stores lining the streets, but it has good people. Kind people. People with hearts of gold.

I’ve never met anyone like the patrons of Dawson Springs, but I’m better off for it. You’ve all taught me how to be more appreciative of the smaller things, and how to be more compassionate to others. You’ve shown me, by example, what it means to be a

community.

As with the strongest feelings, my experience in Dawson Springs has been far too great to be honored with words. When I think about it, words like “awesome” and “perfect” come to mind, but they don’t exactly feel appropriate.

However, when I think of walking downtown during the Barbecue and being wished well by the people I’ve met, or when some of you ask me how my girlfriend is doing, or when I remember the outpouring of love from community adults to the children,

I’m filled with an inexplicable warmth and tingling excitement.

You became invested in me, a stranger coming into the town, with questions about my own life and future plans. Willingly, I became just as invested in you, Dawson Springs.

Wherever I go and whatever I do in life, I’ll always be able to look back on my 10 weeks here as some of the best. I couldn’t have asked for a better community in which to start my life. What better way to start a career than being reminded that people can be kind and genuine? That there’s at least

one place in this sometimes selfish world that is still good, in every sense of the word?

After 10 weeks, it’s not a guess as to why Dawson Springs is a very special place.

I have truly loved and enjoyed meeting each and every one of you. See you all at next year’s Barbecue!

“Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don’t need a lot of money to be happy — in fact, the opposite.”

—Jean Vanier

about improvements and additions that can be made next year to keep the celebration growing.

“We still need to evolve,” she said.

Kenny Thomas reported that the second annual City of Dawson Springs Poker Run brought in $575 for the Darby House.

Sewell announced that KET has contacted city officials about plans to feature Dawson Springs on a 2014 episode of Kentucky Life.

The city will be one of the series’ large projects, focusing on the Trail Town as well as Dawson Springs history.

Sewell also discussed the upcoming Barbecue which will be held July 26. She said a great deal of interest in the street fair has been expressed. The fair will move to the downtown area this year with booths opened up as fund-raisers for sponsors.

There is no entry fee this year for organizations which set up booths.

Other planned attractions include inflatables, live entertainment, games, product vendors, homemade ice cream from Adams Breezy Hill Farm and bingo. The community center will continue the raffle and the cakewalk. Lunch and supper will

be served and meat will be sold by the pound.

Earlier in the week, Kathy Nichols asked for volunteers to help prepare the meat for cooking and serving. The hams will be placed on the pits at 6 a.m. July 25 and removed at 6 a.m. July 26. It will then be delivered to the community center where additional volunteers are needed to pull pork for serving.

Anyone who is able to help in those areas can contact Dianne Coates at 7978207 or 797-5599; Joe Allen, 797-8655; Pat Bruce, 7978397; or Nichols, 836-3959.

A planning committee will meet at city hall at 9 a.m.

July 17 to finalize plans for the Barbecue.

Virginia Chaney updated the group on plans for the reception honoring the Dawson Springs High School Class of 1963. The reception, sponsored by the Dawson Springs Museum and Art Center, will be held at the Darby House this year because of the renovation project at the museum.

The reception begins at 2:30 p.m. July 27. It is open to the public.

Other upcoming events include a 5K run July 27 to benefit the community center.

A Forget-Me-Not 5K for the Alzheimer’s Association is scheduled for Aug. 3.

Board Begins Process —Continued from front page the top.” Reference checks and evaluation of the application packets will take place between Sept. 17 and Oct. 1. Several meetings may be necessary during that period.

A meeting is scheduled for Oct. 2 during which finalists may be selected. In-

terviews will be conducted later in October in hopes of naming the next superintendent near the middle of the month.

As of Thursday, seven applications had been received.

“I’m pleased so far with the seven applicants,” Seymore said. “I know some of them, and I know the work they have done.”

Lightning Should Not Be Taken Lightly

By Jacob Parker Although Lightning Safety Awareness Week was the last week of June, there is still a reason to pay attention to the “underrated killer,” according to a sports officials guide to lightning safety put out by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

NOAA released the pamphlet giving instructions on safety during a thunderstorm and how to be prepared. It included the basic facts about lightning: —All thunderstorms produce lightning and are dangerous.

—Lightning often strikes outside the area of heavy rain and may strike as far as 10 miles from any rainfall.

—If thunder can be heard, people are in danger.

—Lightning leaves many victims with permanent disabilities.

The pamphlet suggests planning ahead and monitoring the weather

before going out and postponing activities, getting to a safe place and staying inside should the weather signs point toward an approaching thunderstorm.

Substantial buildings provide the best protection from thunderstorms, but if one is not nearby, a hardtopped metal vehicle with the windows closed offers good protection. Sheds, dugouts, bleachers, grandstands, and small or open shelters should all be avoided.

If unable to reach a safe place, NOAA suggests that avoiding open areas and staying away from isolated tall trees, towers, utility poles, metal bleachers, backstops and fences will help to reduce the risk somewhat but will not guarantee safety.

If none of these measures work and one feels his or her hair standing on end, lightning is about to strike.

While there may be little or nothing one can do to avoid a lightning strike, crouching

down on the balls of the feet, putting hands over the ears, and bending one’s head down will make as small a target as possible, along with minimizing contact with the ground.

From 2003 through 2012 there were 349 deaths in the United States due to lightning strike, with eight deaths being in Kentucky.

Since 1995, Kentucky has only seen 13 lightning strike deaths. The last one took place in Lexington last year, in an outside/open area.

Kentucky rates 15th on the scale of most lightning related deaths within the past

10 years, while Florida holds the number one spot, with 52 deaths within the same time frame.

Since 1959, the U.S. has suffered 4,002 casualties from lightning, with 95 from Kentucky. However, since 1975, the number of lightning-related deaths has not been over 100; and in the last five years, the number been less than 50.

To date, there have 14 deaths due to lightning strikes in 2013.

These statistics and suggestions can be found at: www.lightningsafety.noaa. gov/statistics.

Fun Night To Be Friday —Continued from front page Dances for the two groups will be held in the multipurpose room. Times for the dances are 7:45 to 9:30 p.m. for grades 5–8 and 9:30 to 11 p.m. for grades 9–12. The music is by Crunk DJ & Karaoke.

The Dawson Springs Progress — Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Champion Is More Than A Winner

Dawson Springs’ own Chad Audas won the Eli Barron Invitational Golf Tournament at Madisonville Community Golf Course for the second consecutive time recently. He won the championship flight by one stroke to be crowned the champion of the event.

That’s a very good accomplishment and one that didn’t come easy. Chad has worked very hard on his golf game.

Dawson Springs Panthers basketball teams have been regional champions six times (1943, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1949 and 1954). They didn’t win the regional championship any of those years without a lot of hard work. The 1946 team made it all the way to state runners-up.

Earlington High School is one of only four teams from Region 2 to be state champions, accomplishing the feat in 1967. The boys on that team did not become champions without working very hard to become the best they could be. (There have been four other Region 2 teams other than the Panthers to be state runners-up.)

Audas is a champion. The Panthers have been champions, and the Earlington Yellowjackets were champions.

Now we can add another local favorite to that list of champions.

Princeton’s Emma Talley won the most prestigious event of the year for amateur women golfers Sunday in South Carolina at the Charleston Country Club.

After a grueling tournament consisting of 36 holes of stroke play and six rounds of match play, she won the 2013 U.S. Women’s Amateur.

Golfers must qualify for this tournament and then be in the top 64 after stroke play in order to proceed to match play against a field of the top amateur women golfers in the world. In her quarterfinal match, she defeated the number two ranked amateur in the world, Australia’s SuHyun Oh. Like the other champions, Talley has worked hard. I think it would be fair to say, Talley has worked harder than the other champions listed above, and it shows in what she has accomplished.

Many local golfers have watched Talley perfect her swing and play at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park’s golf course.

It’s well known among local golfers that when Talley was between her freshman and sophomore years at Caldwell County High School, and on her way to three state golf championships, she approached the number 7 tee where Bobby Abbott, Ray Crook, Phillip Parker and my late good friend Brent Audas had just teed off.

The local golfers motioned Talley and her playing partner up to the tee in order to play through. She hit her drive straight toward the green, in the middle of the fairway, right past all four balls the guys hit, while they watched in amazement and awe.

Abbott, who had just seen one of his long drives look much shorter, asked the girls if they went to Western (Kentucky University).

Talley replied no, they did not go to Western, but that she was going to be a sophomore at Caldwell County High School.

The other three golfers all reported Abbott was humbled about his drive, but now especially so after being out driven by a youngster (and a girl, too!).

Although the 19-yearold Talley, whom we at Pennyrile like to claim as one of our own, has worked extremely hard on her golf game — and that effort has paid off for her — what makes her a better champion is her character.

Other than her friendliness when playing at Pennyrile, one of the first indications of who she really is came during her sophomore year in high school.

She had just won her second consecutive state championship by five strokes when she realized she had signed an incorrect scorecard. She immediately reported this to the officials, knowing she would be disqualified from the tournament.

She went on to win the state championship her junior and senior years.

GolfWeek.com’s Beth Ann Baldry said Talley would be the crowd favorite before her final match because she was a “Southern charmer” and had “made an awful lot of friends.”

Mic Potter, her head coach at the University of Alabama, called her “first class.”

When her semifinal opponent Alison Lee (who had also been a Junior Ryder Cup teammate) began to suffer from a nosebleed, Talley was only concerned about her friend Lee getting better.

After the final match, Talley told GolfWeek’s Julie Williams the tournament was “definitely a blessing from God, and it’s been a great experience.”

Faith, family and friends are all more important to Talley than winning golf tournaments. That’s what truly makes her a champion — and that’s exactly the Emma Talley I met playing golf at Pennyrile. ******************* —Beverly, age 90, played golf every day since her retirement. One day she arrived home looking sad.

“That’s it,” she told her husband, Gus, “I’m giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I can’t see where the ball goes.”

Her husband said, “Why don’t you take me with you and give it one more try?”

“That’s no good,” sighed Beverly, “you’re 103. You can’t help.”

“I may be 103,” said Gus, “but my eyesight is perfect.”

So the next day Beverly headed off to the golf course with her Gus. She teed up, took a mighty swing and squinted down the fairway.

She turned to her husband and asked, “Did you see the ball?”

“Of course I did!” replied Gus. “I have perfect eyesight.”

“Where did it go,” asked Beverly.

His reply: “I don’t remember.”

Writer Says Go Dodgers Dear Editor, On Monday, July 29, the guard brought two pieces of mail to my cell.

The first letter was from my hero, the woman that has been loyal to me over the last year and gave birth to my third daughter, Sara Sophia Vinson, on Good Friday of this year.

The second letter was from my mother. Enclosed in my mother’s letter was a newspaper clipping from the past week. It was an article about an amateur baseball association in Dawson Springs which told the news of a game between the Dodgers and Cardinals.

In reading the article I recognized names of players to be guys I grew up with.

One of the names was actually one of my childhood best friends. It brought back memories of summer mornings that he and I, his brother Justin and my brother Dusty, Jonathon Storms, Joe Dawson, Raymond Jarvis, and anybody else we could round up would go down to the park while the grass was still wet with dew and play baseball until the sun went down. This was on days off from organized games and practice.

Another memory came to mind. It was after making the cut for the first Tradewater Pirates team of 1999. You were at the park taking pictures for the paper. Adam Coats and I were the only local boys on the team. You asked me to take a cut with the bat so you could snap a —Continued on page A7

In her dissent to last month’s wrongheaded Supreme Court decision striking down the heart of the Voting Rights Act, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg wrote that ending the preclearance requirement for districts with a history of discrimination was “like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Just one month later, Republican lawmakers are flooding the country with voter suppression laws masquerading as voter ID laws and redistricting plans.

Texas gleefully announced within two hours of the decision its plan to institute a redistricting map and strict voter ID laws that had been challenged by the Department of Justice as discriminatory.

Attorney General Eric Holder is commendably trying to battle Texas’ discriminatory laws under a different section of the Voting Rights Act, but draconian voter ID laws are rapidly spreading through Republican-controlled states.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory says he will sign a nakedly partisan voter suppression bill, though he admits that he has not read it.

Perhaps he should.

Republican lawmakers insist that they must disenfranchise thousands of voters to ensure the integrity of the electoral process — even though there has been only one case of voter impersonation fraud in the past 12 years in North Carolina, according to the State Board of Elections.

The extreme measures to eradicate a non-epidemic conveniently suppress voting by groups that traditionally support Democrats.

Of the 319,000 voters who will lack the required photo ID, nearly one-third are black.

The bill discourages

young voters by refusing to accept college photo IDs, requiring a North Carolinaissued ID from anyone who has resided in the state for 90 days and eliminating a highly successful voter registration drive in high schools.

Meanwhile, the bill expands voter registration drives for senior citizens who tend to be more conservative than young adults. In North Carolina, civic participation is encouraged only if it’s likely to benefit Republicans.

The new law would also eliminate same-day voter registration, reduce the early voting period by a week and prevent precincts from extending polling hours in response to long lines. None of those restrictions have any shred of relevance to the supposed issue of voter fraud.

The bill’s only conceivable intent is to deceptively and artificially keep the Republican Party in control by riding roughshod over the most essential constitutional right of voting.

The spate of photo ID laws is heir to the disheartening American tradition of inventing ways to suppress voters. Once there were literacy tests and poll taxes; now we have gerrymandered districts and needlessly stringent identification laws that seek the same outcome, albeit dressed up in the language of “electoral sanctity.”

The Republican Party should drop its clearly partisan pursuit of these laws. No party can build broad success on the kind of sordid tricks and deceptions that America should have abandoned long ago. We should be making it easier, not harder, for people to vote.

Nothing proves the continued necessity of the Voting Rights Act more than the current rush to suppression.

As Justice Ginsberg said, “I didn’t want to be right, but sadly I am.”

Kentucky Coal Jobs Are At An All-Time Low

By Bill Estep Lexington Herald-Leader The number of coal jobs in Kentucky continued dropping during the second quarter of this year, hitting the lowest level since the state began tracking that figure in 1927, according to a new state report.

All the job losses from April through June happened in the Eastern Kentucky coalfield, where competition from natural gas and other factors have battered the industry.

Mines in the state’s smaller western coalfield added 65 jobs during the second quarter, while mines in the eastern end of the state cut 916 jobs, according to the report from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.

Those losses came on the heels of more than 4,000 coal-industry layoffs in Eastern Kentucky in 2012 and a continued slide during the first three months of 2013.

As of July, on-site employment at all Kentucky coal mines and related facilities, such as preparation plants, was estimated at 12,342 — 7,951 in Eastern Kentucky and 4,391 in Western Kentucky.

Officials in Eastern Kentucky said some laid-off miners have moved away to get work, while others are driving long distances for jobs or working at mines so far from home they have to live away from their families for extended periods.

Some miners have given cars and trucks back to lend-

ers because they couldn’t make the payment and have cut spending; the ripples have spread and hurt the entire economy, said Letcher County Judge-Executive Jim Ward, “It’s tough on everybody up here,” Ward said Wednesday.

Since mid-2011, Eastern Kentucky has lost more than 5,700 coal jobs, or nearly 42 percent, while the decline in Western Kentucky has been 105 jobs, or 2.3 percent, according to the report.

Western Kentucky coal was once at a disadvantage in meeting clean-air rules because it has a higher sulfur content, but the installation of scrubbers at many power plants has helped fuel a comeback in the region.

Eastern Kentucky had long produced more coal than Western Kentucky, but that dynamic reversed in the first quarter of 2013 and continued in the second, when the western end of the state accounted for 50.2 percent of all production.

And Union County, in the western end of the state, again produced more than Pike County, which was the state’s biggest producer for decades.

Statewide, coal production fell 1.3 percent in the second quarter. The percentage drop was about the same in the east and west, where production had gone up in the first quarter.

Looking longer term, however, production in Eastern Kentucky has declined 41.4 percent since mid-2011,

the cabinet said.

The coal industry in Eastern Kentucky faces a number of challenges, including competition from relatively cheap natural gas and lowercost coal from other parts of the country; higher mining costs and declining productivity, which reflect the fact that much of the best coal has already been mined; and

because it was the absolute truth.

Even though I made the team, the drugs had their claws too far into me, and without my job I was not stable enough to last on the team more than a month.

Before facing the shame of being kicked off the team, I just quit.

People have asked, “What happened to Josh Vinson?” or “Where is your heart?”

The answer to that question came to me in that newspaper clipping from The Dawson Springs Progress.

The answer to those two questions is, “I left my heart on the field when I walked away from her.”

I pray that after I balance the scales between me and

•Free Prescription Delivery •Fill Most Insurance Claims •Diabetic Supplies •Drive Through Window

tion, said the industry hopes to at least maintain production in Eastern Kentucky the rest of the year, rather than weathering continued decline.

There also is concern about what will happen in early 2014 after supply contracts expire at the end of this year, he said.

The industry is looking to boost exports to make up for a loss in domestic markets, he said.

The downturn in production over the last two years has hurt coal-county budgets as well as workers, because counties receive a portion of the state severance tax on coal mined locally.

Petition For Alcohol Sales Falls Short In Crittenden From The Crittenden Press A petition for a countywide referendum on the sale of alcohol in Crittenden County has fallen short of its goal.

Organizer Jerritt HoveyBrown said that she was at least 100 signatures shy of the requisite 971 needed in the six months time allowed by state law to take the measure to the ballot box across the county.

That means no special election will be called to answer the question, “Are you in favor of the sale of alcoholic beverages in Crittenden County, Kentucky?”

“Praise the Lord,” said the Rev. Lucy Tedrick upon learning of the failed petition drive. “I thank God for answering a lot of people’s prayers.”

Tedrick, who headed the temperance movement when a similar question went to a vote in 2000 and failed by a 2-to-3 margin, was also

Letters To The Editor —Continued from page A6 picture. That’s when you said something that is forever impressed on my mind: “You live for baseball, don’t ya boy?”

I had not played any ball since getting kicked out of high school in 1997, but it was also no news to anyone I was deep into a serious substance abuse problem.

I don’t think the coach was aware at that time because he didn’t know me.

But what many people did not know, except for Adam whom I had told and my employer, was that I had quit a pretty good job that required me to travel a lot just so I could be at the tryouts.

That is why your comment so impressed on me that day,

tougher rules aimed at protecting air and water quality.

The current downturn continues a history of up-and-down production swings in Eastern Kentucky, but federal analysts have predicted production won’t return to the level of even a few years ago.

the state that this amateur baseball league will still be around so I can put back into my soul what I left at home plate.

Dawson Springs may not care much for or understand Josh Vinson, and by all rights I fully understand its complaint. But from my side of the street I just want to sincerely apologize to my community for the last 16 years, and let me just add to that, I love my town.

It’s been 14 years since I put on a pair of cleats, but something in my soul tells me I’m better today than I ever was.

There are four main things on my to do list for when I get out of jail. There was only three on the main list, but now there are four.

1. Stay sober because without doing that nothing else will be possible.

2. Take care of my babies and this new woman that is faithfully standing by my side.

3. Be of service to my fellow humans because that is how you do God’s work.

4. Play baseball.

If there is a Yankees team in the league, “Go Yankees!”

If not, I would say, “Go Cards!” But I saw in the article that Jerad, Travis and Joe are on the Dodgers, so “Go Dodgers!”

Lux ex tenebris!

Respectfully,

at the fore of opposition to the most recent move to end prohibition in Crittenden County.

Hovey-Brown was disappointed that a vote on legalizing alcohol sales will not take place after six months of gathering signatures, but expressed thanks to those helping to acquire names and move the petition forward.

“I appreciate the support 100 percent,” she said.

Though encouraged at the time she started the petition by recent successful alcohol referendums in Princeton and Lyon County, HoveyBrown said Monday she has no intent to start another petition drive for an alcohol referendum in Crittenden County.

A special election would have been required before the end of the year had the number of signatures needed been gathered within six months. The petition began circulating in early February.

Crittenden County Clerk Carolyn Byford said since there are no elections scheduled for 2013, that single question would have cost the county upward of $14,000 to carry out an election.

From the latest data available, as of April 30, Crittenden County was one of only 37 of Kentucky’s 120 counties to remain dry, according to Nathan Jones with the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Soccer Squads Panther Golf Teams Busy To Start New Season Monday Against Union

By Jacob Parker The Panther boys and girls soccer teams are hard at work for the new season under the guidance of girls soccer coach Elizabeth Workman and first-year boys coach Katie Harris.

“The boys Panthers have really been working hard to get ready for this season,” Harris said. “This includes going through two-a-day practices.”

Though the varsity team is small in numbers this year, Harris said they were working just as hard to ensure they are in top physical condition to compete.

“Although our team is younger than most, we have huge potential,” she said. “As the games progress, I anticipate our boys will continue to improve their skills and bond as a team.”

The main goalie this year will be Nathan Bearden, who has previous experience in the net.

“If anyone saw the alumni game, they know what a huge asset he is to us in the goal,” Harris said.

The coach said this year is a big “building year,” with playing as a team the main goal.

“If we succeed as a team, the wins will follow,” she said.

The Panther girls are working equally as hard.

“As of right now, our main goal is just to work really hard as a team to get back into shape so that we are able to play with our competition,” Workman said. “Losing so many seniors last year has left our bench a little empty.”

Workman said she believes both the offense and defense will come together to work hard as a team.

“We have several new players this year who have added good numbers to the team,” she said. “Our main goal this year is to give 110 percent each and every game and hope that it’s enough.”

The boys and girls will play their first game at home on Monday, August 19, against Union County.

The boys will play their second game the following day at University Heights Academy in the All A Classic Regional Tournament. The girls will also play their second game on Tuesday, with a home game against Madisonville North Hopkins High School.

The roster for the boys team includes seniors Brandon Cunningham and Seth Sisk; junior Steven Bearden; sophomores Aaron McCune, Jordan Adams, Dakota Ford, Josh Castle, Jon Williams, and Jacob Messamore; freshmen John Michael Meredith, Austin Hart, Nathan Bearden, and Tanner Weir; eighth-grader Seth Dismang; and seventhgraders Keph McCune, Beniyah McCune, Chipper Bruch, and Christian Abbott.

The roster for the girls team consists of seniors Abby Coy, Halyn Burden, Bradleigh Bruch, Shelby Loney, and Katie Crider; juniors Lindsey Carter, Alyssa Pugh and Ashton Coleman; sophomores Allison Gordan, Tiki Robinson, Kayla Bigham, and Savannah Bean; freshmen Tori Hooper and Kristian Ford; eighth-graders Madison Garrett and Macy Merrell; and sixth-grader Bailey Peek.

Lightning and rain suspended the Panther golf team’s match Monday at Pennyrile with Christian Fellowship, but two other matches last week were completed. No makeup date has been set at this time.

The Panthers played August 6 at Deer Lakes in Salem in the Mini All A against Caldwell County, Crittenden County and Livingston Central. This match was in preparation for the All A Regional Tournament which will be held at Deer Lakes on August 24.

Schyuler Storms led the Panther boys with a 48. He was followed by D.J. Thorp with a 62 and Ryan Barden and Asher Lucas with a 71.

Sarah Huddleston, the only girl

playing varsity golf for the Panthers, shot a 58.

Caldwell County’s Daniel Taylor shot a 2-under 34 to take medalist honors and to lead the winning team.

Caldwell County shot 168; Crittenden County was second with a 174; followed by Livingston Central’s 190 and 245 for the Panthers.

“We didn’t play particularly well,” Panther coach Dan Dillingham said.

“But it was good to see the course and the layout. Deer Lakes is a tough course and will challenge all golfers.

We feel like we can shoot better.”

The Panthers played against Muhlenberg County and Christian County at Pennyrile on August 8 with

Muhlenberg winning that match with a 185. Christian County shot 187 for second place while the Panthers shot 225.

Storms shot a 48 on his home course to lead the Panthers. He was followed by Austin Stevens, 51; D.J. Thorp, 56; Asher Lucas, 69; Sarah Huddleston, 70; and Ryan Bardin, 76.

“We know we can play better and lower scores are out there for us,” Dillingham said. “We played decent, but it wasn’t our best.”

The Panthers will host the Dawson Springs Invitational at Pennyrile Saturday and play at Ben Hawes Golf Course in Owensboro against Apollo High School Tuesday.

Princeton’s Talley Wins US Women’s Amateur Title

By Pete Iacobelli AP Sports Writer Emma Talley gave the Southeastern Conference something else to shout about.

The rising Alabama sophomore won the U.S. Women’s Amateur on Sunday, beat Yueer Cindy Feng 2 and 1 at the Country Club of Charleston.

“Thanks everybody. You were all awesome and ‘Roll Tide,’” she told the crowd after closing out Feng on the next-to-last hole in the 36-hole final.

The 19-year-old Talley, from Princeton, Ky., had a “Big Al” mascot headcover, the Crimson Tide’s script “A’’ logo on her shoes and coach Mic Potter and teammate Stephanie Meadows in the gallery cheering her on throughout the match. Meadow carried a sign,

“Go Emma. Roll Tide,” throughout the 36 holes.

And Talley needed all the support she could get, squandering a three-up lead early in the afternoon round. But Talley took the lead for good with a birdie on the 10th hole, the 28th of the match, and didn’t let Feng back in front.

Talley finished the match when the 17-year-old Feng conceded par on the par-3 17th, then missed a 6-footer for a par that would’ve sent the match to the 36th hole.

She’ll bring the winner’s medal and her new title back to campus this fall and hopefully make an impact on the school’s fanbase, which has its sights set on a third national football crown.

“Football at Alabama is pretty much the biggest thing there is,” Talley said. “I do know that I have friends who are Alabama athletes

who’ve been following me and watching on TV.” Feng was vying to become the first Chinese-born player to win a USGA title.

Talley looked as if she had gained control of the match at the end of the morning 18 after birdies on the 17th and 18th holes left her 1 up at the lunch break. She extended that lead when play resumed with a birdie on the second hole and moved to 3 up on Feng’s bogey on the par-4 fourth.

Just as quickly as Talley moved in front, Feng caught up and tied things with birdies on the fifth and sixth holes and Talley’s botched chip on No. 7 that led to a bogey.

“The good thing about that was she was making shots,” Talley said. “I hardly did anything wrong.

I just had to keep playing my game ­because I knew it wasn’t over at

all.”

Talley struggled with the putter early on. She three-putted four of her first 10 holes, yet only trailed by a hole.

Talley got things going on perhaps the club’s trickiest hole, the par-3 11th reverse redan where Sam Snead once made a 13 in a 1937 tournament. Talley put her tee shot in a bunker right of the green, then deftly chipped to about 10 feet and made the putt to square the match. Feng landed in a bunker on the par 3’s other side and needed two shots to make the green.

Feng regained the lead a hole later when her approach to the par4, 12th finished about 2 feet from the flag for a birdie.

Another stellar bunker shot by Talley to about 6 feet past — she had the blade of her wedge almost total parallel to the sand — led to

another birdie on the 14th hole to again tie the match.

Talley closed the morning round with two straight birdies on the 17th and 18th shots for a 1 up lead at the break. She got inside of Feng’s 12-footer on the par-3 17th for a birdie that tied the match.

Talley struck a final time on the 18th, her approaching finishing about 5 feet past for a birdie.

Both Talley and Feng have spots in next year’s U.S. Women’s Open at Pinehurst, N.C., as long as they don’t turn pro. Feng, though, has signed up for LPGA Tour qualifying school with the hope of joining the tour.

Talley hopes to play professionally one day, too. Right now, she can’t wait to get back to school. “I do want to go pro,” she said. “But right now, I just love college too much.”

Plenty Of Buzz Surrounds UK-WKU Game Sports In Kentucky The Kentucky-Western Kentucky Super Bowl is barely two weeks out and the buzz is like katydids on a heavy afternoon in August. Urgent, persistent and growing louder.

We like it, this Phase II of Honeymoon Stoops and Petrino. The two-word anthem sprung up to go with the countdown is good too. “can’t wait!”

Meanwhile, among questions to stir Bob Watkins the stew ...

• Does Petrino have enough stadium steps to keep his team’s ornery faction running until game day?

• Does Stoops deploy an Air Raid outright or run-throw guy at quarterback, Jason Whitlow?

• A win benefits which program most? Kentucky is desperate because of schedule that looks like a slog up Everest. A Western win: Brag rights is passe.` This could be threshold to start Petrino’s rehab back to “he’s a genius,” by media herd. Could spell a five home game sell-out run, Top Fever and amp up bowl talk. All grown out of one afternoon in Nashville.

• Las Vegas betting line favoring the Toppers means nothing, right? Wrong. Fuels “can’t wait!”

• Downside to these proceedings? A game featuring two Kentuckys ought not be played in an orange state.

Bottom line: Can’t wait.

Strong is wrong Louisville coach Charlie Strong is an advocate for paying student-athletes. Logic? Schools rake in millions while players “work so hard and get nothing.”

Sniff.

First, revenues go into athletic department accounts not university general funds.

More important, a little context.

Hot topic today is college graduates with student loans to pay back are set back. True-ism: Athletes on scholarship are a privileged class like never before.

Quartered in special dormitories, players have access to class planners, tutors, training table, dietary planners, nutritionists, physical trainers, work-out facilities, team doctor(s)

and full medical care.

More perks? Game ticket privileges for family and celebrity (fan worship).

Seems Charlie Strong is so distanced from his undergraduate days, he doesn’t see a bigger picture. Or, his advocacy sounds good on the recruiting trail.

First, Morrow persuaded prospects from Ohio to visit Lexington for a Blue-White game that drew near 50,000 fans. After several commits, he told reporters “... the fans recruited the kids from Ohio. It was the people of Kentucky.

I didn’t recruit them.”

Fans and the university first, as it should be.

Mendez Valdez & grad schoolers

Snider & Blackmon

Mercenaries Nerlens Noel, Archie Goodwin and other one-and-doners have moved on, thankfully. Others gone from local college teams (with degrees?) are headed for international graduate school. Play-for-pay and live abroad.

Preston Knowles from Louisville will play in Israel; Murray State’s Ivan Aska is headed to a team in Greece; Kentucky’s Julius Mays will play in Italy.

Then, there’s Western Kentucky Hilltopper and graduate Orlando Mendez-Valdez.

Chosen MVP in the Mexican League, the 6-1, 185-pounder will play for the Mexican national team.

Now 25 and married, Mendez-Valdez reflected on life so far with a friend recently.

“Playing in the NBA is the dream of every kid, but as you get older, you start realizing there’s a lot more to life than basketball. That’s the direction my life has taken.

Before, basketball was everything to me. I still have that competitiveness and drive to be the best, but I realize it’s also important to be a good husband and a good father when we start having kids.”

The right stuff Impressive, Kentucky’s new offensive coordinator Neal Brown’s crisp and clear goal sets for Kentucky’s newest renaissance. ”We want to be at 75-plus snaps ... be 48 percent or better on third down ... 50 percent or higher on first downs, which means a good play is four yards.”

The SEC being the jungle it’s always been, lofty goals.

But sounds good.

Then there’s new tight ends coach Vince Morrow. An Ohio native Morrow has received and re-directed praise for recruiting successes for UK in the Buckeye State.

Morrow’s views predicated on putting the state and Big Blue fans first, helped eclipse some of the John “burn down your village” Calipari idiocy spouted recently.

“Interesting, Quentin Snider and James Blackmon changing their minds about signing with Louisville and Indiana (respectively),” a fan said the other day.

Seems clear enough. Two prospects who committed at 15, simply became 18 and found they were missing out on tweet and twitter and a college shopping list.

Peculiar, parents letting a 15-year-old choose a college based on “my favorite team.” Never mind that, three-four years on, coaches may be gone.

Snider at Ballard and Blackmon at Marion, Indiana (and their proactive fathers) discovered they were missing the attention lavished on prospects in the recruiting circus.

Hoops hot-shots today collect schools for their lists to boast to one another “... look who wants me.”

Snider backed off a verbal commit to Louisville when it became obvious Rick Pitino was recruiting over him.

Courting other prospects at his position.

Blackmon’s de-commit to Indiana is less a muddle. His father (and coach), James, who played at Kentucky, is savvy about recruiting politics. The kid and dad wanted a college shopping list like those of his 4-star brethren.

At the weekend, the Blackmons hastened to tell media that Junior’s list includes an offer from Kentucky.

Basketball glams Celebrity college basketball players are on campus once more, basking in the ever present glow of media and fan accolade.

Another top 10 projection list surfaced the other day.

Mostly likely to be break-out stars this winter: Julius Randle and Andrew Harrison at Kentucky and Louisville’s Montrezl Harrell of Louisville. Another list “10 most entertaining” players includes Louisville’s Russ Smith. Uh-oh.

And so it goes.

Best Areas For Shore-Bound Crappie Fishing

By Ray Rudolph The Fishing Wire You don’t need a boat to catch early fall crappies, just a good plan of action. It can be as relaxing or adventurous as you want it to be. Here are the three best areas to focus on to catch a stringer of crappies from the bank.

Way Up The Creek “I grew up walking creeks,” says crappie guide Barry Morrow. “I’m talking about the uppermost areas of creeks.

Most have access within a short walking distance. Access will often be from a backroad or where a bridge crosses the creek. Some have parks or picnic areas that provide easy access. Public lands are best because you must have permission if you walk private land.”

He moves along in search of laydowns, old stumps or other cover where fish might hide. His weapon of choice is an 11-foot pole, 12-pound test Silver Thread line and a 1/4-ounce jighead with a Lindy Fat Watsit body. He agrees that most fishermen are more comfortable with a lighterweight jighead, but that extra weight allows better sensitivity to feel the bottom, brush and bites.

“Start at the outside edges of brush or laydowns and work toward the inside,” says Morrow. “The best bite is usually in the heart of the cover, but you can pick off aggressive fish from the edges without disturbing those deep in the thick stuff. Every piece of cover has a sweet spot and you’ll soon learn a pattern where most of these are located.”

His technique requires both hands. Hold the pole in one hand and the line in the other. Pull the jig up to the tip, push the bait where you want it and then drop the jig by slowly moving your free hand toward the pole. Keep dropping it until you feel bottom or reach the strike zone. Controlling the line with your free hand is very important to this style of fishing. Because the rod is often confined within the branches of a laydown tree or bush, use that free hand to set the hook, pull the crappie almost to the tip then back it out.

Spillways for Crappie and More Spillways damming man-made reservoirs are crappie guide Todd Huckabee’s favorite spots for summertime shore fishing.

“Late summer is the perfect time,” he said. “The lake becomes a little stagnate in late summer with the thermocline, low oxygen levels and water temperature all being stressful on the fish. But in the spillway the water will be cooler and dissolved oxygen levels are great. The fish feel better and are more active.”

He says with fairly uniform oxygen levels throughout the water column of a spillway, crappie can be at any depth.

Every spillway is different so there are no ‘cookie cutter’ spots that work everywhere. However, he says two important features, current and eddies, are present at all spillways.

“Many fishermen use a cast and retrieve tactic, but their baits don’t stay in the strike zone long enough. I use a float like the Wobble Bobber to stay above the rocks and to find the eddies. Once a float gets in an eddy it will circle around, which is perfect because the eddy is where baitfish and predator fish are holding. The bite usually happens quickly.”

Equipment includes his signature series 10-foot spinning rod, a float and a YUM F2 Wooly Beavertail jig. He prefers using one jig but says a tandem jig rig is fine if you prefer.

“My best tip: Don’t overlook shallow water,” he said.

“Since oxygen levels are the same everywhere, spillway crappie may be very shallow where it is easier for them to ambush food.

“Another great thing about a spillway is you might catch a pound crappie, and on the next cast a white bass, then a 3-pound walleye, a northern or one of the many other species there. Spillway fishing is a lot of fun.”

Surprising Docks Boat docks are well known crappie magnets, but most boating crappie anglers hit the fronts and maybe halfway down the sides. During summer, especially early and late in the day, the bank-side of docks can be more productive.

“Fish can be at many different locations on a dock but the backside can have the right depths and cover for this time of year,” said Morrow. “Fishing from the bank will put you in the action.”

Morrow casts and pitches using 7- or 10-foot poles spooled with 6- or 8-pound test Silver Thread line. The shorter pole is good for casting and flipping while the 10foot Huckabee spinning rod is good for vertical dipping, pitching and casting.

Rigs can vary based upon your favorite baits. Morrow says his choice easy.

“I use a Lindy Crappie Cork because I can fish any depth by adjusting it up or down and I can cast it for distance and accuracy. Under the float I like a 1/16-ounce Fuzzy Grub or 1/8-ounce Watsit jig in a natural color. Green pumpkin has always worked well for me in late summer. If the water is super-clear or the fish run on the small side, use a smaller jig.

“I target brushpiles and cover near the backsides of the docks. Sometimes you can see them but most of the time you’ll have to find them by retrieving your bait between the dock and bank. Keep raising the slip float to put the bait deeper until you find cover.”

Once again, as with any repaved track, it needs to get seasoned. And it will, sitting through those cold winters up there. But it’ll take a couple years for it to really come in. Before the repave, the drivers loved Michigan because it had multiple grooves that allowed passing in the corners and on the straights.

It was really a high-speed track that, for some reason, always tended to boil down to fuel mileage. If you want high speed — especially with this new Gen-6 race car — you want to go to Michigan.”

To Your Good Health

By Paul G. Donohue, M.D. Herpes Is Not The End Of Life

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have herpes. I am a 28-year-old woman who never previously had a venereal disease. I am shocked to have one now. I have always been careful about choosing my male partners. I can’t believe this has happened to me. Will this affect my chances of having children?

What do I do about having sexual relations? -- M.N.

Trivia Test

1. GEOGRAPHY: Where are the Orkney Islands?

2. MUSIC: To which rock group did singer Freddie Mercury belong?

3. TELEVISION: Which popular 1990s sitcom featured a character named Chandler?

4. CARTOONS: Which animated superhero’s theme song contains the lyrics, “Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,/ Fighting all who rob or plunder”?

5. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE: What is the currency of Brazil?

6. ENTERTAINERS: Which actor/ director was born Melvin Kaminsky?

7. MOVIES: Where was Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “The Birds” set?

8. U.S. STATES: What is the only U.S. state named after a president?

9. LITERATURE: Who wrote the book of poems called “Sonnets from the Portuguese”?

10. FOOD & DRINK: In South Asian cuisine, what is ghee?

Answers 1. North of Scotland 2. Queen 3. “Friends” 4. Underdog 5. The real 6. Mel Brooks 7. Bodega Bay, Calif.

8. Washington 9. Elizabeth Barrett Browning 10. Clarified butter (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

ANSWER: You have to put herpes infection in perspective. Many people are infected. It’s estimated that 50 million Americans have the virus. All of them are free to marry and have children. As for sexual relations, be honest with your partners about having been infected.

You should not have relations when you have a recurrent outbreak. Recurrences lessen in frequency with the passage of time. It still is possible to transmit the virus without a visible outbreak, but condom use then lessens the probability of passing the virus to others.

The herpes virus comes in two varieties: herpes simplex virus type 1, HSV-1; and herpes simplex virus type 2, HSV-2. HSV-1 is responsible for cold sores (fever blisters). HSV-2 is the cause of genital infec-

tions. However, either virus can lead to genital infections (and cold sores). HSV-1 is becoming a more frequent cause of genital infections.

Skin-to-skin contact is the method of transmission. A first outbreak of genital herpes may cause fever, headache, muscle pain, pain on urination and enlargement of groin lymph nodes. In men, an outbreak of small blisters appears on the penis. In women, the same happens in the vagina and on the external genitals. The blisters turn into sores. The sores heal in one to two weeks. Some infected people never have any visible manifestations of infection, but they are able to transmit the virus. About one-third of people never experience a recurrence.

Another third have less than three outbreaks a year. The final third have more than three yearly outbreaks. People can spread the virus even when there are no obvious signs of infection.

Acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir) and valacyclovir (Valtrex) shorten an outbreak. If recurrences are frequent, these medicines can be used on a daily basis to suppress them.

The booklet on herpes clarifies its mysteries.

ANSWER: The benefits of mammograms for women between the ages of 50 and 69 are not disputed. When to start them and when to stop them are matters that stir up debates. Many would like to see a directive for beginning mammograms at age 40.

A sensible approach to your question about stopping is this: a woman older than 70 should continue to have mammograms if that woman has 10 more years of expected life. Your doctor can give you an idea of what your life expectancy is. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.
