And there was a good reason in a recent game between
Fordsville Elementary and

Fordsville gymnasium.
Nathan Hibbard is a nineyear-old fourth grader at
Fordsville Elementary and he
plays on the school’s basketball team. That, in itself, is
unusual.
Nathan suffers from autism and sometimes suffers

grip of that learning disability.
And that also makes the
boy’s mother and father suffer
unnecessarily.
“Sure, it hurts when some
people show such negative
attitudes toward Nathan,”
Donnie Hibbard, his dad, said.
“But what do you do about it?”
One thing that can be done
- and Nathan’s parents are doing it - is to look over the negativity and do everything possible to make the boy’s life more
positive and enjoyable. That
included talking the youngster
into going out for the basketball team and starting efforts
to get him out of special education and more into regular
classroom studies.
And that’s where the recent
game and the intentional foul
come in.
It was late in that game and
Southern had it pretty well
locked up when Nathan was
put on the floor. The officials
were Ken Decker and Adrian
Embrey and they would find
themselves in just a tad of
hoops hanky-panky.
Nathan, as an eyewitness at
the game later reported, was
being over-guarded while trying to get the ball in play and
the officials warned members
of the other team to stop it.
They didn’t. But it wasn’t
the kind of “they didn’t” that
was going to get a lot of players into a lot of trouble. This
“they didn’t” was sort of set up
between the officials and some
of the Southern players and it
would all be for Nathan’s benefit.
Sure enough, the Southern
players swarmed Nathan as
he again attempted to put the
ball in play and the officials
promptly called a technical
foul. The little boy with autism
would calmly step to the free
throw line for the very first
time and coolly sink the two
charity tosses.
Watching very closely were
the two officials who had
helped set up the technical
foul and both were close to
shedding tears. Nathan was
beside himself with pride and
happiness.

Briefly
Race for clerk
There will be an Ohio County Circuit Clerk’s election next
year, but it will be decided in May as opposed to November.
Jason Bullock, who currently sits as a magistrate on Ohio
County Fiscal Court, has taken and passed the required test
and has filed his declaration papers with County Clerk Bess
Ralph.
Also expected to file is incumbent Circuit Clerk Shannon
Kirtley, who was appointed by Circuit Judge Ron Dortch to
fill the unexpired term of Micheline Whittaker, who died unexpectedly last September.
Two jailed
Following a tip about possible drug activity at a Mine Fork
Road residence last week, the Kentucky State Police arrested
two men and uncovered methamphetamine and meth-making
paraphernalia.
Taken into custody and jailed were Phillip Hayes, 59, and
Donnie Simpson, 18. Both were charged with manufacturing
methamphetamine.
Help for students
An important window will soon open for college-bound students in Kentucky who need help paying for tuition.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid determines how
much financial aid schools can award based on a family’s financial situation. The application can be filed starting January 1.
Laurie Wolfe, who is on the board of the National Association
of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said preparing now
can make the process less stressful.
“Now that we’re at Christmas time that’s a good time to sit
down with the family and start talking about, ‘what do we need
to be looking at,’” Wolfe said. “I highly encourage people to get
hold of a copy of that application now, look through it, and pull
together the documents that you need.”
That list of documents includes federal income tax returns
and investment statements. The application deadline is not until June 30 but prospective students are being told not to wait,
even if they are not sure they are going to college.
Holiday closings
The offices of The Ohio County Times-News will change its
Christmas week and New Year’s week publishing days from
Wednesday to Tuesday because of the holiday schedule established by the U.S. Postal Service.
Post offices will be closed at noon on both Christmas Eve and
New Year’s Eve, thus altering the delivery schedule for this
newspaper.
As a result, the Times-News will be published on Tuesday of
each week, with home deliveries being made on Wednesday.
It is requested that all advertising for those two weeks be submitted by noon on Monday.

Possible economic push
By: Savannah Pennington
octimesnews.com
Recent action taken by Ohio
County Fiscal Court could
mean good things for economic
development.
The court moved to enter into
an inter-local agreement with
four surrounding counties that
would allow half of the tax revenue normally returned to the
county government to be used
to build a spec building to entice new business.
“If a business comes in, and
wants to get the ball rolling
fairly quickly, and we already
have a building pad, or the
hull of a building ready for
them, that means that they
can get going a lot faster,” said
Judge-executive David Johnston. “This will speed up the
process to our advantage.”

shuffles
through a sizable number of
letters to Santa from youngsters in our school system’s
lower grades in hopes of
finding some that bring out
the innocence and sincerity
of truly engaging minds.
Actually, all of the letters
received reflect that quality,
but some readily display desire more than literary ability. Publishing these letters
is in no way meant to belittle or embarrass the youthful authors. So, here you go.

“There has been quite a bit of
interest in it, and that is why
we decided to move on it,” Lewis
said. “We added archery for the
same reason last year, and both
are very popular right now.”
The competitive events will
be set up much like a traditional bass tournament, with OCHS
competing against students from
other schools.
Unlike other sports, this one
will have to take place at a lake
instead of in the gym or on a
school field.
“We will have to travel to a
lake somewhere, and there are so
many events a year,” Lewis said.
“It is something that will be good
for our students, and we are excited to see where it goes.”
Also at the board meeting, an
update was delivered about the
construction of the school’s gymnasium, which will soon have
new floors and new bleachers.
“We will be getting started on
the first day of summer after
school is out,” Lewis said. “It will
be completed before school starts
back in the fall.”
A bid from Martin Flooring
was accepted unanimously for
$107,986. Martin Flooring was
the lowest bidder.
The board also entered into
an agreement with Atlas Metals -- the lowest bidder -- for
bleacher replacement, at a cost of
$109,693. The action was unanimous.
The board also heard the audit report for the 2014 fiscal year.
The audit was conducted by Alexander and Co.
“This was a good, clean audit,”
Lewis said. “They usually find
something procedurally that
needs to be done differently, but

Crossing Industrial Park, located on Old Liberty
Road just south of Beaver Dam, generates about
$45,000 in tax revenue from its four businesses for
Ohio County, he said.
Under this agreement, about $22,000 of those
funds will be kept by the park to build a spec building that any interested business could use.
“They will still have to pay for it, but it won’t take
as long to get the business up and moving,” Johnston said.
The Green River Regional Industrial Development
Authority is the agency organizing the construction.
The inter-local agreement was signed by Johnston
and will involve contributions from Muhlenberg,
Hancock, Daviess and McLean counties as well.
Johnston said that the spec building combined
with the new road going into the park that will reroute traffic away from residential areas will be an
enticing package for perspective businesses.
Phase one of the project has already begun, with
grating being done and gravel being laid.
“Next they will run utilities beneath the pad and
then build the spec building,” Johnston said. “Each
phase puts us closer and closer to getting a business
in there.”
The court also accepted a bid for improvements of
the Ohio District Courtroom. After rejecting all bids
last month, citing too high a cost, the court accepted
a bid for $129,360 for renovations by the Administrative Office of the Courts.
Johnston said the improvements to the courtroom
are much needed, and will likely hasten court proceedings while making the room more appealing.
“The courtroom was designed and put in place in
1980, and absolutely nothing has been done to it to
update it since then,” he said. “You can imagine the
wear and tear on the room, in addition to the way
the customs of court have changed since then.”
this was a good year.”
The annual audit is required by
the state for all school districts.
The board also:
* Heard presentations from each
school about test results from the
2013 school year.
* Heard from Lewis about the
snow days earlier this year. Lewis said it is the earliest that he
can remember missing school for
snow.
* Approved minutes from the previous board meeting.
* Approved the payment of bills.
* Approved school based fundraisers and overnight trips.
* Received site-based council reports.
* Created a position for a girl’s
basketball assistant coach.
* Approved the establishment
of a National Junior Beta Club
chapter at Horse Branch.
In years past, it was traditional to have the court
room presented in a circular layout, he said. Now,
more streamlined layouts are favored with seating
that runs straight across the room.
“The more modern court rooms have seating kind
of like church pews,” the judge executive said. “It will
look a lot like our circuit courtroom, which was updated in 2008.”
The court also:
*Accepted the minutes from the previous meeting.
* Approved the bills, claims, payments and transfers
as presented by County Treasurer Anne Melton.
*Heard the November financial statement.
*Accepted a $38,097 bid from VEI Communications
for a radio dispatch console at the 911 Dispatch center.
* Approved the 80/20 bridge agreement and contract.
*Heard a reminder from Johnston that all outgoing
elected officials are to return all county equipment
by Dec. 31.
* Passed a motion to approve the signing of a management agreement between the county and the

KRS could bottom out in four years
By Brad Bowman
The State Journal
Popularly referred to as the nation’s worse funded
pension system, Kentucky Retirement Systems officials testified before lawmakers Monday that if the
state’s non-hazardous pension fund stays on track it
would bottom out in about four years and would take
20 years to reach healthy funding levels.
KRS Chief Investment Officer David Peden told legislators during Monday’s Public Pension Oversight
Board meeting the system’s investment returns for
the year remained flat.
With a flat return, the over $900 million in annual
benefits KRS paid out for the last fiscal year included
the sale of state assets.
“In addition to what we made, we had to sell $180
million worth of assets above and beyond what we
had generated,” Peden said. “If this year were continue, we would have to sell about $500 million in
assets.”
Peden told board members the $500 million was
part of only $2.5 billion of the systems assets.
With only 21 percent of pension liabilities funded, KRS Executive Director Bill Thielen reported
the non-hazardous pension — which is for state employees that are not involved in any law enforcement
roles, experience a high risk of danger or peril like
correctional officers, firefighters or paramedics —
reported the pension’s assets have steadily declined
since 2007.
The Kentucky Employees’ Retirement System
non-hazardous assets shrank in 2007 from about
$5.6 billion to $2.56 as of June 30, 2014.
“Our actuaries have told us that the non-hazardous
plan will continue to go down, and I will have the
projections either late this afternoon or in the next
couple of days, for the next two, three or four years,”
Thielen said.
“They expect it, if we meet our investment rate
of return and other assumptions, to bottom out at
about 14.92 percent funding and in the next 20 years
if 100 percent of the contribution rate is made to be
funded at 32.4 percent.”
Recommendations?
When asked about recommendations for cashflow solutions to consider in 2015, Thielen said KRS
would work with legislators on developing a strategy
for the non-hazardous pension, but didn’t support an
easy lump sum cash infusion.
“I was talking to the actuary this morning and
asked what if you put $250 million or $500 million
in terms of a lump sum into the plan,” Thielen said,
“and they said it wouldn’t even move the needle.
You’ve got $9.1 billion of unfunded liabilities in that
plan … better start with $1 billion or $2 billion. They
are doing those projections and plan to get those to
you and to the legislation.”
The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce asked state
Auditor Adam Edelen to audit the KRS for its performance and administrative costs last Thursday.
While Thielen said the organization will cooperate
fully with Edelen, he considered the audit costly.
When now-Lt. Governor Crit Luallen was state auditor, she conducted a comprehensive governance operation audit, Thielen said, on the department along
with several other studies by various organizations
including the SEC two-year investigation.
“None of those examinations have resulted in any
kind of significant finding,” Thielen said. “We have
tweaked business policies and everyone can improve
… I think it is a costly exercise that is costly in retrospect.”

Keep your landscape deer free
Deer damage to ornamental plants is an increasing problem. Deer
populations in neighborhoods have grown rapidly
due to abandoned farms,
hunting restrictions and
suburban sprawl. And
they are dining on expensive suburban landscapes - especially in areas with heavy snowfall
in the woods. In those areas, front and backyard
plantings can serve as
easy winter forage.
"Deer are selective
feeders that eat leaves
from flowers, shrubs and
ornamental trees," explains Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP* and
staff arborist with the
Tree Care Industry Association. "Damage to larger trees can extend up to
7 feet off the ground."
In some areas, deer
damage peaks in winter
when snow cover reduces the food supply. Most
areas with overpopulated deer herds experience
problems
year-round.
The availability of natural food sources and
the taste preferences of
individual deer make
deer-proofing a landscape difficult task in
many areas.
"Deer will eat almost
any plant rather than
starve," says Andersen,
"so damage control measures will be needed in
addition to careful plant
selection. Use of fencing
and repellents can help
control deer damage to
landscapes."
A fence is the most
effective control against
deer damage. An 8-foot
fence is generally sufficient to deter deer, and
lower fences can work
if they slant away from
your yard. Tree protectors or shelters also prevent deer from browsing
on young trees. Made
of polypropylene tubing, plastic tree wrap or
woven-wire mesh cylinders, netting can be
used to protect individual or group plantings.
The netting can be left
on year-round if it's attached loosely at the base
to allow for plant growth,
but should be monitored
frequently.
Repellents may help
deter deer, but they do
not eliminate damage
completely. Homemade
repellents include rotting
eggs (mix two eggs with a
gallon of water and spray
the mixture on ornamentals). The eggs rot on
the plants and the smell
repels deer. Human
hair hung in mesh bags
makes a simple repellent.
Hang the hair bags on the
outer branches of trees
about a yard apart, and
replace them monthly.
Bars of strong-smelling
soap hung in the same
way will also work. This
is a good way to make
use of all those aromatic
Christmas gift soaps you
don't plan to use. Repellents containing predator
urine or spray-on, soapbased mixtures usually
only last a few weeks, depending on the weather.
Once deer taste your
garden, it is difficult to
rid them of the habit.
Replacing your current
mix of trees and shrubs
with plants that are less
appealing will help move
the herd along to other
sites. The Tree Care Industry Association recommends planting trees
that have a history of
surviving areas of heavy
deer activity, such as:

with red oak acorns.
White oak acorns have
either been consumed or
have germinated by this
point in the season, Jenkins said.
Set the alarm clock
later and hunt the
warmest part of the day.
Seek out a sunny spot or
one that provides deer
some protection from
the elements, like a briar thicket or a recently-logged area.
“If it’s good and cold,
they’ll move throughout
the day,” Jenkins said.
“If it’s really cold, you
might consider hunting
close to a bedding area.”
Resist the urge to
set up on top of that
bedding area or food
source in those instances. Instead, pick a spot
between the two that
allows deer to be intercepted en route to one
spot or the other, Beard
said.
“It’s a chess game,”
he said. “There may only
be a 10-minute window
where they may be coming through.”
Driven by the strong
November, the statewide deer harvest total stood at more than
126,000, as of Thursday,
Dec. 11. With the late
muzzleloader season on
deck, and the crossbow
and archery seasons ongoing, Jenkins expects
the harvest number to
climb past the 2012-13
season for second highest on record behind last
season’s benchmark of
144,409.
“We’re not overharvesting,” Jenkins said.
“Our age structure is
still good. If we were
overharvesting,
we
would see an increased
number of fawns and
yearlings in our harvest
and we wouldn’t shoot
as many quality deer.
We’re still shooting
those and our numbers
are holding tight and
even increasing some.”
Black powder hunters are reminded to
wear hunter orange and
to always obtain landowner permission before
hunting private property.

“Yes, Virginia” one more time
It was on September 21, 1897, that the
New York Sun received
a short but noticeably
heartfelt letter from a
young girl concerned
because some of her
friends came up with
the devastating belief
that there was no Santa
Claus. It read:
“Dear editor,
I am eight years old.
Some of my friends say
there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says, ‘if you see
it in the sun, it’s so.’
Please tell me the truth;
is there a Santa Claus?”

Francis Pharsellius
Church, one of the newspaper’s editorial writers, was so moved by the
letter that he sat down
and wrote a reply that
has become known as
one of the most powerful

Naughty is as

By:Dr. James L. Snyder
It is the time of the
year when the Gracious
Mistress of the Parsonage is busy doing
101 things in as many
directions: cookies to
bake, presents to buy,
Christmas cards to address and send and a
thousand other things I
probably am not aware
of. My job is to make her
job easier by staying out
of her way.
Usually I am rather good at my job. It
has taken many years
to perfect my job and I
am proud to say I have
achieved somewhat perfection. But this week I
was caught unawares.
During this time of
year, I make it a practice to stay away from
the kitchen area as
much as possible. This
past week, I do not know
what I was thinking, but
I went into the kitchen
to pour myself a cup of
coffee. On the surface, it
looked rather innocent.
I finished pouring my
coffee and turned to
exit the kitchen area as
quickly as possible when
I ran into you know who.
"I'm so busy I was
wondering if you might
do me just a little favor."
The seductive sound of
her voice caught me off
guard and I stopped and
said the unthinkable. At
the time I forgot that a
"little favor" has nothing
to do with "little."
"I will be glad to help
anyway I can." After
those words tumbled
out of my mouth, I
could not believe that it
was me actually saying
those words. In my right
mind, I would never respond in that fashion.
"That's wonderful. I
knew I could count on
you."
I knew I was in some
serious trouble. I did not
quite know what kind
of trouble I was in but I
was going to find out in
very short order.
"I don't have time to
go to the shopping mall
and pick up a certain
item. I was wondering if
you might do it for me?
It would help me out so
much and I would be so
grateful."
I do not know any
politician that has anything on my wife. She
can smooth talk better
than anybody I know.
The only problem is, all
the smooth talk was directed in my direction.
How in the world, and
I say this from a husband's perspective, can I
turned down this kind of
request?
"You want me to go
to the mall?" I said as
carefully as I could, "you
do know I don't like the
mall?"
"I know. If I don't get
that item at the mall
today, I'm going to be
in serious trouble. You
wouldn't want me to be
in serious trouble, would
you?"
In order for me to
keep her out of serious
trouble, I must put myself in serious trouble.
"Okay," I said as dryly as possible. "I guess
I can go to the mall and
pick up that item for
you. Just give me the
details and I will be off."
I was off, alright. Off my
rocker and did not know
when I would be able to
get back on that rocker.
Then a thought came
to me.
"This will necessitate four apple fritters
to give me the energy
to do this little favor of
yours."
She looked at me with
one of those looks that
penetrated deep into my
soul.
"Okay," I said with a
nervous quiver, "how
about three apple fritters?"
The stare intensified.
I cleared my throat,
picked up the keys to my
vehicle and headed for
the mall. A lot of things
I do not like to do and
this has to be at the top
of that list. However, being the terrific husband
that I am (I have no
documentation proving
this, just trust me) I put
my life in harm's way.
I got to the mall and
found the store where I
was to pick up the aforementioned items. I paid
for them, which I did not
know was part of the
bargain, but a guy's got
to do what a guy's got to
do. Then I set my face
like a flint toward the
exit door.
Then I saw it. I had
forgotten about this
facet of the shopping
mall at this time of the
year. But there he was,

Mr. Santa Claus in all

It dawned on me at the
time that he was the one
responsible for knowing
who is naughty or nice.
This was my opportunity.
The line to sit on Santa's lap was finished and
he was sitting there by
himself. I took the opportunity to go up and
greet him.
"Do you know me?"
I asked him with the
broadest smile I could
slap on my face.
"No," he said thoughtfully, "I don't believe
we've ever met."
"Well, do you know
my wife?"
"No," he said, stroking
his beard.
I flipped him a
"thanks," as I turned
around and headed toward a little bakery I
knew had some apple
fritters. Due to the sensitivity of the situation,
the place will remain
anonymous.
Eating my apple fritters I thought about
what Solomon said,
"Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with
thy might; for there is
no work, nor device, nor
knowledge, nor wisdom,
in the grave, whither
thou goes" (Ecclesiastes
9:10).
It is not naughty unless someone connected
with my wife sees me.
Because I firmly believe,
one person's naughty is
another person's apple
fritter. No names revealed.

if there were no Virginias. There would be no
child-like faith then, no
poetry, no romance to
make tolerable this existence. We should have
no enjoyment, except
in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which
childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
“Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as
well not believe in fairies. You might get your
papa to hire men to
watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve
to catch Santa Claus,
but even if they did not
see Santa Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees
Santa Claus, but that is
no sign there is no Santa Claus. The most real
things in the world are
those that neither children nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? Of
course not, but that’s no
proof they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and
unseeable in the world.

the baby’s rattle and see
what makes the noise
inside, but there is a
veil covering the unseen
world which not the
strongest man, nor even
the united strength of
all the strongest men
that ever lived, could
tear apart. Only faith,
fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside
that curtain and view
and picture the supernal beauty and glory
beyond. Is it real? Ah,
Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing
else real and abiding.
“No Santa Claus?
Thank God he lives,
and lives forever. A
thousand years from
now, Virginia, nay, ten
times ten thousand
years from now, he will
continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.”
Some holiday tips on
modeling selflessness to children
Q: Last month your
column discussed practicing self-denial with
kids and offered ways to
guard them from developing narcissistic tendencies. It was helpful
advice, but I'd also like
to encourage my kids to
be more thoughtful and
aware of the needs of
others. Do you have any
ideas how I can do this?
Jim: The fact that
you value and want to
promote a lifestyle of
selflessness with your
children suggests that
they have a pretty good
chance of getting there.
It's been said that "more
is caught than taught" -so if you're consistently
modeling these actions
and attitudes in your
home, you've provided
them with a great head
start.
That said, it's important to actively involve
your kids in the process,
and there are many ripe
opportunities for this
during the Christmas
season. Here are some
ideas to consider:
-- Shovel an elderly
neighbor's driveway.
-- Bake and deliver
cookies to those working
on Christmas Day (e.g.
firefighters and police).
-- Serve meals at a local shelter.
-- Visit a nursing
home to carol or read
Christmas stories with
residents.
-- Provide gifts to the
underprivileged through
projects like Operation
Christmas Child.
-- Drop off baked
goods to those who are
homebound or hurting.
-- Invite those who
don't have family to join
your holiday table.
You can add your
own creative ideas, I'm
sure. But the key is to
help your kids grasp the
"why" of all this. A good
way is to ask questions
designed to help them
reflect on how recipients of your kindnesses
may be feeling and what
difference your actions
might make. For instance, "How would you
feel if you were all alone
or had to work on Christmas Day?" In doing so,
you'll help them develop
empathy and the capacity to recognize, understand and identify with
the feelings of others
-- invaluable character
traits to instill in your
children.
******
Q: Growing up, I enjoyed Christmas traditions that revolved
around caroling, baking
cookies, decorating a
tree and helping prepare big family dinners. I'm not sure how
it happened, but our
family traditions have
morphed into watching Christmas classics
such as "Miracle on 34th
Street," "White Christmas," and "A Charlie
Brown Christmas" -- or
other
media-related
activities that involve
little interaction. Everyone seems to love
this but me. How do I
introduce a media-free
Christmas?
Bob Waliszewski, Director, Plugged In: My
answer may surprise
you:
Basically,
you
don't. Let me unpack
this a bit by touching
on the idea of completely eliminating TV from
the home. While I'm
not entirely against this
step, I believe it works
for relatively few families. Those that navigate "throwing out the
TV" successfully do so
only when all family
members are on board.
When it's just a topdown decision from
parents, it typically
backfires.
The same pitfalls
exist when trying to
introduce a media-free
Christmas. Your observation that "everyone
seems to love this but
me" suggests you don't
have the buy-in necessary to proceed. Not every parenting decision
should be 100 percent
buy-in, of course, but
those such as going media-free at Christmas
should rarely be dictatorial.
While I'd encourage
you to preserve the
traditions you enjoyed,
making
wholesome
Christmas movies part
of your family's annual
experience can also be
a positive thing. Many
families bond by watching films like "Elf" or
"It's a Wonderful Life"
year after year to the
point where they can
playfully exchange dialogue from the film as
easily as they can sing
"Jingle Bells." I'd suggest that, in addition to
caroling and decorating
the tree, you spread a
net wide enough to enjoy a few films together,
too. No sense in being a
Scrooge when it comes
to all Christmas-related media!

Unable to Judge
One of the spiritual dangers we are confronted with is the inability
to discern between good and evil. When Israel drifted from God the
prophets warned, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
who put darkness for light, and light for darkness” (Isa. 5:20). If we
are not careful, we can make the same mistake with the moral dilemmas of our time. Jesus said, “Do not judge according to appearance,
but judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24). He was teaching us
to define righteousness by God’s standard and not human opinion.
In doing so, we will see things the way God sees them instead of the way we or the world may want.
The Bible says, “Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor
sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of
God” (1 Cor. 6:9-10). Somehow the devil has convinced us these things are no longer evil. Fornication is encouraged. Homosexuality is supported. Drunkenness is celebrated. Stealing is justified. And hatred is excused.
We must have better judgment than this. The Bible says God is righteous and He expects us to be holy to have a
relationship with Him (I John 1:5-7). He warns, “Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous” (3:7). He who justifies sin is of the devil (v. 8).
The good news is God is willing to forgive us of our ungodliness, but only if we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ
(Acts 4:12). Even that glorious message may be deemed evil by our world, but those who want to do God’s will
shall find the truth and be saved (Acts 2:38; 8:35-38). - Mike Thomas

10 BEST REASONS WHY
NOT TO ADVERTISE
1. DON’T ADVERTISE. Just pretend everybody knows what
you have to offer.
2. DON’T ADVERTISE. Tell yourself you just don’t have the
time to spend thinking about promoting your business.
3. DON’T ADVERTISE. Just assume everybody knows what
you sell.
4. DON’T ADVERTISE. Convince yourself that you’ve been
in business so long customers will automatically come to you.
5. DON’T ADVERTISE. Forget that there are new potential
customers who would do business with you if they were just
urged to do so.
6. DON’T ADVERTISE. Forget that you have competition
trying to attract your customers away from you.
7. DON’T ADVERTISE. Tell yourself that it costs too much
and that you don’t get a sufficient return or investment.

Our sympathy to
families who lost loved
ones, and best wishes
to the sick and shut-in,
including Tom Juvrud,
Frances Leach, Adam
Bryant, Mark Bryant,
Mabel Bryant, Virginia
Burgess, James Rogers,
Billie Richardson and
many others.
Beaver Dam Nursing &
Rehab held a Christmas
party for all residents
on Dec. 9, meeting in
groups gathered in the
Dining Room. Howard
McKinley was happy to
have guests, including
Erma McKinley, Jay
McKinley and Bonnie
Daniel. Mr. Chester
and Mrs. Gail Taylor
were invited to sit at
the McKinley’s table.
Everyone
seemed
to enjoy a good time
together.
Later in the week,
Howard had several
visitors, including old
friends, Pete Brown of
Arkansas, William Carl
and Brenda Iglehart of
Hodgenville, Kentucky,
and Wanda Hawes (who
were also visiting their
mother, Mrs. Carrie
Iglehart); also Dwight
Morphew, Don Cox,
Anna Blacklock, Ann
Baird and others.
Bonnie Daniel reported
that she attended a
very good children’s
Christmas program at
Cool Springs Baptist
Church last Sunday
night. (I will attempt
to repeat as best I can.)
The building was filled
to capacity and they
thanked the following for
presenting a wonderful
program: Debbie Embry,
Betty Gabbard, Bek
Brown, Corey (Green)
Raymond, Bo Lytle, and
Karen Cardwell.) They
really enjoyed the final
song sung by Martinis
Brown. Delicious foods,
prepared by women of
the church, were enjoyed
by all. Truly it gave
everyone a wonderful
“Christmas Spirit!”
Five generations of the
family of Debbie Embry
were present for the
church program.
A Christmas program
at Oak Grove Church of
God will be presented
Sunday night, 6 p.m.,
Dec. 21. Everyone is
encouraged to attend.
Also, on Dec. 31, the
youth of the church
(ages 8-high school)
will host a Midnight
Watch service in the
new Family Life Center.
It will begin at 9 until
midnight, featuring a
movie, devotion and
food. This will be hosted
by Jed and Megan
Richardson, leaders of
the youth department.
Last Sunday, the Slaty
Creek Baptist Church
at Prentiss, had their
Christmas dinner.
Bridget (Blacklock)
Lee and Felicia (Horn)
Geary were happy to
have several members of
their families attended
their RN graduation
from Nursing School
last
weekend
in
Madisonville. (Bridget
is daughter of Kathy S.
Horn and Robert “Bobby”
Blacklock. Felicia is
daughter of Jimmy and
Debbie Horn.) We, of
their extended families,
are proud of their
accomplishments
and
wish them well in their
future careers.
Felicia received some
extra awards.
A surprise party in
their honor was held
Sunday afternoon at
the home of Bridget, by
members of her family.
Felicia’s family had
earlier already had one
for her.
Bonnie Daniel had a
very interesting call
from her brother-inlaw, Andy Kidd, in
Columbiana,
Ohio,
Sunday. He reported of
a very nice get-together
with the family. (His
wife, Barbara Kidd, who
died a few months ago,
was sister to Bonnie
Daniel.)
I had a nice phone
visit last Monday, from
Linda (Moore) Hogue
in Florida. Her family
originally lived in Ohio
County,
Kentucky,
until 1958 when they
moved
to
Missouri
for employment. Her
parents were the late
Theron and Billie Moore,
who were members of
Oak Grove Church of
God. They were active
members
and
were
loved by everyone in
the community. Their
children were Judy,
Theron
Jr.,
Linda,
Jamie, Paul, and later
they had Ricky and
Patty.
Judy and her husband,
Jerry, still lives in
Missouri,
and
are
spending the winter
visiting
Linda
in
Florida.
Theron and Billie were
both buried here, in the
Oak Grove Cemetery.
He was a brother to
the late Chester Moore,
and to Dorothy (Moore)
Manley who lives next
door to the church.
“Praise ye the Lord,
Praise God in his
sanctuary: praise him
in the firmament of his
power. Praise him for
his mighty acts: praise
him according to his
excellent
greatness.”
Psalm 150: 1-2.
Jackie
and
Edith
Johnson will celebrate
their 55th wedding
anniversary on Sunday,
Dec. 21, from 1 to 3 p.m.
at the Word Missionary
Baptist
Church
on
Veller Avenue in Beaver
Dam in the basement
fellowship
hall.
All
family and friends are
welcome. Please, no

This year’s Rosine
Barn
Children’s
Christmas
Party
was really a night to
remember. The Barn
was full of people, most
of whom were children
there to see Santa
Claus. The party began
with music and reading
of the Christmas story
while waiting for Santa.
He arrived on schedule
at 6:45 p.m. and stayed
around long enough to
speak with each of the
children and present
each child with a gift.
There was more music
and
refreshments
following Santa’s visit.
Following the Christmas
party the Barn will be
closed until the first
Friday night in March.
May God’s richest
blessings be with you
during Christmas and
throughout the coming
new year.

USDA
Provides
Greater Protection for
Fruit, Vegetable and
Other Specialty Crop
Growers
Free Basic Coverage
Plans and Premium
Discounts
Available
for New, Underserved
and Limited Income
Farmers
Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack recently
announced
that
greater protection is
now available from
the Noninsured Crop
Disaster
Assistance
Program for crops that
traditionally have been
ineligible for federal
crop insurance. The new
options, created by the
2014 Farm Bill, provide
greater coverage for
losses when natural
disasters affect specialty
crops such as vegetables,
fruits,
mushrooms,
floriculture, ornamental
nursery,
aquaculture,
turf grass, ginseng,
honey,
syrup
and
energy crops. “These
new protections will
help ensure that farm
families growing crops
for food, fiber or livestock
consumption will be
better able to withstand
losses due to natural
disasters,” said Vilsack.
“For years, commodity
crop farmers have had
the ability to purchase
insurance to keep their
crops protected, and it
only makes sense that
fruit and vegetable,
and other specialty crop
growers, should be able
to purchase similar
levels of protection.
Ensuring these farmers
can adequately protect
themselves from factors
beyond their control
is also critical for
consumers who enjoy
these products and for
communities
whose
economies depend on
them.”
Previously, the program offered coverage
at 55 percent of the
average market price for
crop losses that exceed
50 percent of expected
production. Producers
can now choose higher
levels of coverage, up
to 65 percent of their
expected
production
at 100 percent of the
average market price.
The
expanded
protection
will
be
especially
helpful
to
beginning
and
traditionally
underserved producers, as
well as farmers with
limited resources, who
will receive fee waivers
and premium reductions
for expanded coverage.
More crops are now
eligible for the program,
including
expanded
aquaculture production
practices, and sweet and
biomass sorghum. For
the first time, a range
of crops used to produce
bioenergy will be eligible
as well.
“If America is to
remain food secure and
continue exporting food
to the world, we need
to do everything we can
to help new farmers get
started and succeed in
agriculture,”
Vilsack
said. “This program will
help new and socially
disadvantaged farmers
affordably manage risk,
making farming a much
more attractive business
proposition.”
To help producers
learn more about the
Noninsured
Crop
Disaster
Assistance
Program
and
how
it can help them,
USDA, in partnership
with Michigan State
University
and
the
University of Illinois,
created
an
online
resource. The Web tool,
available at www.fsa.
usda.gov/nap,
allows
producers to determine
whether their crops are
eligible for coverage.
It also gives them an
opportunity to explore
a variety of options and
levels to determine the
best protection level for
their operation.
If the application
deadline for an eligible
crop has already passed,
producers will have
until Jan. 14, 2015,
to choose expanded
coverage
through
the Noninsured Crop
Disaster
Assistance
Program. To learn more,
visit the Farm Service
Agency (FSA) website
at
www.fsa.usda.gov/
nap or contact your local
FSA office at offices.
usda.gov. The Farm
Service Agency (FSA),
which administers the
program, also wants
to hear from producers
and other interested
stakeholders who may
have suggestions or
recommendations
on
the program. Written
comments
will
be
accepted
until
Feb.
13, 2015 and can be
submitted
through
www.regulations.gov.
These new provisions
under the Noninsured
Crop
Disaster
Assistance
Program
were made possible
through the 2014 Farm
Bill,
which
builds
on historic economic
gains in rural America
over the past five
years, while achieving
meaningful reform and
billions of dollars in
savings for the taxpayer.
Since enactment, USDA
has made significant
progress to implement
each provision of this
critical
legislation,
including
providing
disaster
relief
to
farmers and ranchers;
strengthening
risk
management
tools;
expanding access to rural
credit; funding critical
research; establishing
innovative
publicprivate
conservation
partnerships;
developing new markets for

and
investing
in
infrastructure, housing
and community facilities
to help improve quality
of life in rural America.

KENTUCKY CATTLE
MARKET UPDATE
The following article is
from Dr. Kenny Burdine,
Livestock
Marketing
Specialist
at
UK,
discussing the current
beef cattle market.
As I write this in
mid-December, feeder
cattle markets have
fallen significantly from
one month ago. Corn
prices have increased
during this time, while
fed cattle futures have
softened. At the same
time we have also
moved to the time period
when feeders are placed
with the expectation of
slaughter during the
lower-priced
summer
months. This is also
consistent with the fact
that the market drop
in Kentucky markets
appears to have been
much more pronounced
on heavy feeders than
on calves.
In
October
we
discussed cow slaughter
in some detail. Given the
decrease that we have
seen in cow slaughter
from last year, I expect
beef cow numbers to be
slightly higher when
USDA releases their
beef
cow
inventory
estimates next month,
which would also mean
a slightly larger calf
crop. I feel like the
increase will be about
0.5%. At the same time,
we are likely to see
some increased heifer
retention,
especially
in the northern and
southern plains. While
changes in cow numbers
due to decreased cow
slaughter
impact
numbers quickly, it
will take some time for
heifer development to
impact cow numbers.
So, I think it is likely
that 2015 is the first
year that we see beef
cow numbers increase,
but I expect increases to
continue for a few years
if weather cooperates.
Looking
ahead
to
2015, the slightly larger
calf crop will impact
prices somewhat, but
I think our primary
threat will be from
increased competition
from competing meats.
At the calf and feeder
cattle level, I still expect
the calf market to be
stronger in the spring
of 2015 than it was
in the spring of 2014.
However, I do expect
that the 2015 fall market
will be softer than the
market that we enjoyed
this fall. Backgrounders
placing
calves
into
winter programs need
to carefully examine the
margins being offered
between current calf
prices and spring feeder
cattle futures, which has
changed with the recent
drop in futures. Given
the market volatility
that exists, producers
should consider some
form of price protection
on calves that are placed
this winter for sale in
the spring.

Little Bit of Everything
By: Dave McBride
[email protected]
We worry, I suppose,
from the time we reach
the age of reasoning until our Maker decides
our time on earth has
run out. The degree
of some of that worry,
I’ve always thought, is
measured by our social
standing. The more, the
less, The less, the more.
My social standing - and I’m not ashamed
of it - was on the less
level and that meant
worrying about material things over which we
had no control. No tricycle, no red wagon, no bicycle and no lot of other
things.
And that was okay.
What’s that old saying?
You don’t miss what you
never had. Worry, in
some areas, only lasts
until situations improve
and you start thinking
about something better. But worry never seems
to end, even with an
improved social standing. You can have the
best house in town and
worry about it burning
down. You can have
enough money to burn
a wet mule and worry
about losing a dollar or
two of it.
I’ve always been a worrier. In fact, my mom
used to say if I didn’t
have something of my
own to worry about, I‘d
worry about somebody
else’s problems.
And I don’t know if
worrying actually does
cause hair to turn grey.
I had some of it when I
was 12 years old and I
was doing some pretty
good worrying at that
time. My older sister
plucked the white ones
out as they appeared.
Then she wondered why
I started growing bald
at such an early age.
A peck of worrying
passed through my consciousness while sharing the raising of four
children. Now there are
seven
grandchildren
and while that worrying
partly is shared by my
two daughters, a lot of it
still rests on old papaw’s
shoulders.
Take the oldest grandchild’s brand new driver’s license, for instance.
A.J. reached that memorable milestone last Friday and now every time
I hear the scream of an
ambulance siren my
blood runs cold. But that, I guess, is the
way it’s supposed to be.
Everything would have
to be perfect for there to
be an end to worrying
and that simply is not
going to happen. Still, we think we’ve
known people who seem
never to worry about
anything. I had a young
friend who suffered a
broken leg in a bicycle
accident and all he said
was “No big deal, it’ll get
well.”
And I couldn’t name
the people I’ve heard
say, “No need to worry
about it, nothing’s going
to turn out right anyway.”
Of course we don’t really know that folks like
that are doing nothing
more than putting out
a smoke screen. They
might go to bed at night
and wring their pillows
into useless shreds.
That’s what I do. I worry
all day and mistreat my
pillow, too.
But I think I’m going
to change all of that. I’ll
be turning 83 on Friday
of this week and I’m going to give myself a really personal gift. What
I’m going to do is wake
up on that morning with
the realization that anybody old enough to smell
bad is old enough to stop
worrying about every
little wrong turn in the
road.
That’s right! I’m going to confront Jerry
Wright with nothing but
kindness every time he
makes a nasty remark
about my age. He can
say there’s 50 GRITS
buses outside my office
front door and I’ll just
smile as if he has good
sense. Of course, I know
better.
The good Lord made
100
million
normal
people, then He made
Jerry just so He’d have
something with which to
make a comparison. But
I’m not going to worry
about that, either. If
God can stand an imperfection, why should it
worry me.
I’ll just be glad when
Friday morning gets
here and I can say I’m
worry-free. Won’t that
be something?
What hair I’ve got left
just might turn dark
again and that gnawing in my stomach I’ve
been thinking is an ulcer will clear up and I
won’t have anything left
hurting but arthritis in
...from all of us
every joint.
...From
All Of rent
Us
Heck,
I justat
might

in front ofFarm

smile all the
time. He
may even come to realize that newspapers are
just as good at spreading manure as are radio
stations.
