Judge-executive outlines plans

Instead of purchasing one
piece of equipment at a time,
Ohio County Fiscal Court is
going to take a leap of equipment faith and pick up three
needed items in one move.
“We need a new back-hoe,
a new loader and a new
truck and instead of taking
four years to acquire that
equipment, we’re going to
get it all at one time,” said
Judge-executive David Johnston. “There’s really no need
in waiting on something we
need right now to work with.”
The equipment, Johnston
said, will cost approximately
$350,000 and will be paid for
over a four-year period.
Also on the court’s agenda
is the start of construction
of the new Horse Branch fire
station.
“That will be a sub-station to
the Rosine Fire Department
and will be big enough to hold
two trucks,” Johnston said.
“Fiscal court will pay $30,000
of the cost and the fire department will pay the other
$20.000.”
In other business, the
judge-executive said, the
county is making effort to improve its workforce develop-

A Hartford woman has been

an Ohio County High student
reportedly came forward with
information concerning the illegal use of drugs.

ment effort.
While there are no announced industrial prospects
on the horizon, Johnston said
it is important to have an
available workforce and to
make sure that all obstacles
that might make the county
look undesirable in the eyes
of a prospect are removed.
“We just want to make sure
Ohio County is ready in all
respects should a prospect
come knocking,” he said. “It
would be a shame to miss out
because of something we may
have overlooked.”
Johnston said coal severance

for the county, but the court

that the money could dry up if

Trail prospects grow after meeting
By: Dave McBride
[email protected]
Russell Clark, with the National Park Service, said last
week he is optimistic about
efforts to make Rough River
a Trail River and Hartford a
Trail Town.
Following a public meeting attended by what Clark
termed a “very enthusiastic
and interested group of people,” the NPS representative
expressed the belief that success in both ventures is within reach.
“I was really impressed with
the cross section of support at
that meeting,” Clark said. “It
only makes sense now for us
to move forward.”
Establishing Trail communities and facilities is a popular
movement throughout the nation and is particularly strong
in Kentucky,” Clark said. And
that, he said, is why a strong
effort should continue in Ohio
County.
“Any project with support
like we’re getting in Ohio
County is deserving of being
pursued,” he said. “We even
had Cub Scouts and Girl
Scouts at our meeting.”
Over the next several years,
Clark predicted, there will be
several thousands of miles in
Kentucky devoted to Trail facilities for people to enjoy. It

“One favorable aspect of a
Rough River Trail is that we
won’t have to build anything,”
he said. “The river is already
there.”

“We have had concerns identified and opportunities outlined and it’s now up to me to
put all of that into a master
plan,” Clark said. “We’re looking closely at the boat-launching property on Rough River just west of Hartford and
what that property can be
linked to.”
What will be needed in the
immediate future, Clark said,
is to prepare a documentation
that will support the Rough
River Water Trail as far as
grant money is concerned.
“We already have a vision of
what it can become in the way
of recreational opportunities
on the river,” he said. “Also,
establishment of a River Trail
is the first key to Hartford becoming a Trail Town.”

“We have done very well
with our share of coal severance tax dollars and do not
look forward to the day when
those dollars are not available,” he said. “It’s for that
reason we need to take a serious look at other resources to
take up the slack if and when
that happens.”
Johnston said he met Monday with members of the
school board, the Ohio County Extension Service and the
City of Hartford concerning
the county’s need to support
the ongoing efforts to get a
River Trail and a Trail Town
status established for Hartford.
“I just wanted them to know
the county will partner with
them in these efforts,” he
said. “We have to think beyond roads and other issues.”

and that was an exact fit in
her career plans.
“I can’t help others and do
what I want to do behind a
desk,” she said.
Pate graduated from Wesleyan with a bachelor’s degree in
criminal justice and still requires more schooling before
she becomes a full-fledged
deputy. That will come in the
near future when she completes 22 weeks of training at
the Police Academy in Richmond.
“Being newly married, that
will create an inconvenience,
but I’m glad it’s happening
while Cody and I are still
young and do not yet have
children,” she said. “But I’ll
be home on weekends and
that will help.”
With all of the recent publicity concerning law enforcement officers shooting people
and being shot, Pate said she
understands the possible pitfalls.
“You have to be on guard, not
only at work, on patrol duty
and in uniform, but just about
everywhere you go,” she said.
Pate is married to Cody Pate,
who admittedly had concerns
when he first learned his future wife wanted to be in law
enforcement.
“I simply told him that’s
what I was going to do and
if he thought he couldn’t live
with it, he would just have
to go find him another little
housewife,” she said with a
grin and the knowledge that
her mate eventually fell in
line with her goal. “You can’t
marry somebody with the
intent to change them from
something they really want
to do.”
Adam Wright, a former Beaver Dam police officer and
now Kentucky State Trooper,
was instrumental in Pate’s
success in becoming a law enforcement officer.
“I shadowed Adam as an intern and he was tremendously helpful in me being where
I am today,” she said. “I also
received a lot of help and encouragement from Major Alan
Lacy, our chief of deputies.”

“Perfect,” he again said to
himself. “This couldn’t be
more perfect.”
With anticipation bubbling
over, the editor rushed to his
car and quickly journeyed
to the Ford and Gardner
campaign
headquarters.
Both, luckily, were open
and he managed to pick up
campaign posters of each
candidate.
His front page picture was in
its formative stage and would
be one, he believed, that had
never before been used - at
least not in the Owensboro
area.
Back at the office, the editor
grabbed off a camera shared
by the staff, dashed out the
back door and proceeded with
his journalistic masterpiece.
With the full-to-overflowing
trash can in place, he tacked
Gardner’s poster on the fence
and placed Ford’s on the
heap of trash - where the
candidate’s face was visible.
Then he reversed the scene - Ford on the fence and
Gardner in the trash.
“There, I’ve got it,” he said
proudly to himself. “This
epic venture tells a simple,
but accurate story: One man
won and one man lost.” It
was going to be a “great” page
one and his photographic
imagination would be notably
appreciated by his employer
and others.
So much for notable
appreciation.
That night’s paper was
printed and a copy - probably
by design - ended up in the
early-morning hands of Mr.
Lawrence Hager, former
owner and publisher of the
Messenger-Inquirer.
By
early, we mean 3:00 a.m.
early and a time when the
tired wire editor was asleep
and dreaming about his
meaningful page one.
And that also was the exact
time his bedroom telephone’s
ringing shattered the silence.
“Hello,” the newsman said in
a sleep-drugged method.
“This is Lawrence Hager,”
the
other
not-so-sleepdrugged voice said.
“Hi there, Mr. Hager,” the
editor said in anticipation
of
some
high-powered
recognition.
“Dave, how could you
possibly have put Cap
Gardner in the trash can?”
the irate publisher almost
shouted. “That is one of the
worst examples of journalism
I’ve ever witnessed.”
And he wasn’t finished.
“Young man I want you out
of bed and at Mr. Gardner’s
office to apologize when he
gets there this morning and
I don’t mean maybe,” he said,
“But Mr. Hager,” I tried
to
explain.
“You
don’t
understand the meaning
behind that picture. It wasn’t
an ordinary picture, it was a
story-telling picture.”
“Listen to me again, young
man,” he allowed. “I’m
publisher of the newspaper
you just set back a hundred
years and all I understand
right now is that you’ll be at
Cap Gardner’s office when he
gets there.”
And the editor was.
“Hi there, Dave,” the
insurance executive said
with a pleasant smile. “What
brings you out so early this
morning.”
“It’s that picture on page
one today,” I said. “Mr. Hager
wanted me to come here and
apologize to you for it.”
“What’s there to apologize
for?” he asked. “I thought it
was a great picture. It told
the story of the election in one
simple glance.”
The editor wanted to ask
Mr. Gardner to repeat that
reply to the publisher, but,
he didn’t. Instead, he fell
victim to another mentallydamaging phone call.
“I thought that picture was
in very poor taste,” senatorelect Ford said. “Mr. Gardner
didn’t deserve that.”
Of course, the editor
surmised, Mr. Ford was the
winner and it was - perhaps - only right for him to expend
a little graciousness in the
loser’s direction.
Anyway - with many years
of mutual appreciation in
between - Mr. Ford, in his
customary likable way, later
apologized to the editor,
saying the picture, did,
indeed, tell the story that one
man won and the other lost.
Mr.Lawrence and the wire
editor would go on to develop
a great employer-employee
relationship, but only after
the editor vowed to leave
picture-taking to the staff
photographer.
And there is a footnote to
this story.
Moose Morehead, a revered
Owensboro
artist,
later
telephoned the wire editor
asking for a copy of the
somewhat
controversial
photograph. Morehead said
he appreciated the thought
process that went into the
published picture and wanted
to do an oil painting of it. That
request was fulfilled and the
painting soon followed.
Foreign to his long history
of not selling his original
paintings, Morehead allowed
a woman from Louisville to
breach that policy and his
first-ever original escaped his
considerable collection.
Lamenting that policy slip,
so the story goes, Morehead
spent the rest of his life trying
to retrieve that original, but
failed. And Cap Gardner - somewhere in Louisville or
elsewhere - remains atop
that fateful and disarranged
trash can.

Preparing your bow for the offseason
Archery hunters in
Kentucky enjoy a generous deer season that
opens in late summer
and spans more than
four months.
When it closed earlier this week, hunters
had pushed the overall
harvest past 130,000
for the third consecutive season and to Kentucky’s second-highest
harvest total on record.
Archers played a
big role in the success,
arrowing more than
18,000 whitetails, and
may be left wondering
what to do next.
The hardcore bowhunter might turn attention to other hunting
opportunities or devote
more time to improving
shooting form and skills
through practice.
For those who intend
to put their bow up, performing some routine
maintenance now can
help ensure it’s ready to
go when the urge hits to
reach for it again.
“If you shot it and
were comfortable with it
all fall and put it away,
you should feel comfortable enough when you
get ready to pull it back
out that it’s still pretty
close,” said Dave Frederick, public lands biologist with the Kentucky
Department of Fish and
Wildlife Resources and
a high school archery
coach. “You’re still going to have to shoot it
and make sure your arrows are on target.”
A bow’s lifeline is its
string and cables, so it’s
important to inspect
them for wear and replace any that are damaged.
A broken string is
the worst-case scenario,
and it happens all the
time, Kentucky Fish
and Wildlife Lt. Richard Adkins said.
“It usually breaks
at the contact points
in the cam where the
string rolls,” said Adkins, who started bowhunting when he was
15 years old. “When you
shoot that bow and that
cam whips, there are
high-wear areas on the
cables. If those are left
unchecked or you just
keep shooting, there’s
a
possibility
your
string could break. You
don’t want to take that
chance.”
To
protect
your
string and cables, apply
string wax and work
it in by hand or with
a small piece of leather. The friction warms
the wax and helps the
string absorb it.
“Keeping
those
strings well waxed and
protected is a big thing,”
Frederick said. “Even
when the bow is not in
use, it conditions those
strings and makes them
last longer.”
Whether you hunted
a few days or several,
you’ve been out in the
elements.
Rain and snow fell,
and temperatures fluctuated wildly during
Kentucky’s
archery
deer season. Take a
damp cloth and wipe off
any accumulated dirt
and grime. This is also
a good time to clean any
broadheads. If a bow
sight uses batteries, remove them to eliminate
the risk of corrosion.
Also, check and tighten
any loose screws and
make sure all attachment points for bow accessories are secure.
Another good practice is to inspect the
bow’s limbs, looking for
any cracks or splinters.
“I can’t tell you
how many people have
brought me bows and
I’ve
found
cracked
limbs,” Adkins said.
“You need to check
your limbs and inspect
them.”
Once you’re satisfied
the bow is in good shape,
store it somewhere that
isn’t prone to extreme
heat or exposed to direct sunlight. Ultraviolet light can damage
certain materials on the
bow over time.
“My bow is usually
in its bow case during
the offseason, if I have
an offseason,” Frederick said. “If I know I’m
going to be shooting my
bow two or three nights
this week, I’ve got
hooks in my basement
where it’s not in direct

School districts join FAFSA - completion effort
Nearly half of the
school districts in Kentucky will participate
in a new program to
increase the number of
students who complete
the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid, or
FAFSA.
The FAFSA is a major step in going to college because it is the
form used to apply for
federal and state stu-
dent aid programs. The
more financial aid students receive, the more
likely they are to attend
and finish college.
The FAFSA Completion Initiative makes
it possible for the Kentucky Higher Education
Assistance
Authority
(KHEAA) to let districts
know which of their
students have completed a FAFSA. KHEAA

Editorial
VIEWPOINT
Education is way off line
What’s happening to
education throughout
the nation, in the State
of Kentucky and the
County of Ohio should
not be happening.
Yes, testing is important. It should not be
the all-consuming focal point that some are
seeking to make it.
So who’s going to
change it and what will
it be changed to?
It’s for sure we don’t
want to go back to the
one-room school con-
cept. It’s also for sure
we don’t want the name
of Ohio County High
changed to Ohio County
Testing Center.
Standardized testing
is the recognized culprit. It sprang forth
from the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2002 and
now seems to be devouring a past system of educating that many of us
deemed appropriate. As
one prominent educator
put it: “Teachers now
are only teaching to
testing.”
The basis behind standardized testing should
tell us the formula is
not conducive to education we came to know
and accept.
For starters, the No
Child Left Behind Act
makes it perfectly clear
that test scores now determine the amount of
funding a school system
will receive from the
federal government. In
other words, according
to at least one study,
the NCLB act set out to
hold all public schools
to a high standard of
education, measured by
their students’ scores in
statewide standardized
tests.
That same study pointed
out that low-performing
districts run the risks of
state officials taking over
the operation of those districts and leaving them
with little or no freedom
to make independent decisions.
“Critics of the No Child
Left Behind Act say that
there in immerse pressure on school officials,
teachers, students and
parents. The pressure
to succeed creates a poor
environment for learning - an environment
of fear - rather than
discovery,” said a group
calling itself PolicyMic.
com
And the U.S. Secretary
of Education agrees. In a
speech to the American
Educational Research
Association, Arne Dun-
can said much of the
criticism of standardized testing is warranted.
“State assessments
in mathematics and
English often fail to
capture the full spectrum of what students
know and can do,” he
said. “Students, parents and educators
know there is much
more to a sound education than picking the
right answer on a multiple-choice question.”
For Sale: One lying
bathroom mirror
By: Dr. James L. Snyder
Nobody enjoys privacy more than Yours
Truly. I confess I am
not a very happy camper when that privacy
is compromised in any
fashion. Recently, I endured a tremendous
trespass on my privacy.
One day last week,
I got up as usual and
tottered off to the bathroom for my accustomed
bathroom routine. It
was then I got the shock
of my life of which I am
not over as of yet. I am
sure this experience will
be with me many years
down the road. I am not
sure I need counseling,
but maybe a day or two
at a rehab center just
might do the trick.
I confess that I am
not at my best early in
the morning prior to my
bathroom ritual. As far
as I am concerned, the
bathroom is a sacred
place of refuge before
facing the world. It is a
place where I can prepare myself to meet the
world as well as prepare for the world to
meet me. It would be a
great travesty for me to
plunge myself out into
the unsuspecting world
before going into my
bathroom and making
certain preparations. I
owe the world at least
this.
Of course, with all the
political nonsense the
world has imposed upon
me lately, I am tempted
to thrust myself out into
the world without any
preparations
whatsoever. That would teach
the world to mess with
me. On second thought,
too many innocent bystanders would get hurt
in the process.
On the day in question, not only was I unprepared to meet the
world but I was unprepared to meet my bathroom. Looking back
on the situation, I do
vaguely remember the
Gracious Mistress of the
Parsonage mentioning
something to the fact
that she made certain
changes in my bathroom. Obviously, I was
preoccupied with other
things to be concerned
about this wee bit of information she laid upon
me at the time. I simply assumed she was
talking about waxing
the floor or changing the
shower curtain. Never
in my wildest dreams
did I think she would do
anything as drastic as
she did.
This brings me to an
important point; never
underestimate the damage a wife can do to the
sacred places of her husband.
When
I
walked
into my bathroom and
switched on the light, I
had the shock of my life.
I looked in the mirror,
as normal and looking
back at me was the most
frightful thing I have
ever seen. I thought for
a moment Stephen King
had sabotaged my bathroom.
The face looking back
at me was old and haggard, desperately needing a shave. The bags
under his eyes looked
like sacks of potatoes
and what little hair he
had looked like the aftermath of a suicide
bomber. I wanted to call
the police, but I was too
paralyzed with fear.
I must have yelled
or something because
my wife came running
into the bathroom and
asked, "What's wrong?"
Then she did something that infuriated me
even more than I was at
the time.
She laughed.
I do not mind people
laughing when I tell a
joke or a funny story.
However, when I have
just been frightened out
of my mind, I do not appreciate the levity. Then
she explained to me
what had happened. My
wife took it upon herself
to replace the mirror in
my bathroom.
For a fleeting moment,
murderous
thoughts
stomped
through my mind. Fortunately, for me they
were still wearing their
bedroom slippers and
not
their
marching
boots.
I do not look forward
to very much in life, but
I do look forward to my
mirror in my bathroom.
I have had that mirror
for as long as I can remember, which may not
be a very long time when
I come to think of it. I
vaguely remember hearing my wife mentioned
the fact that the mirror
in my bathroom needed
to be replaced. I thought
she was kidding.
When I get up in the
morning, I look forward
to going into my bathroom mirror. I have a
The Ohio County Times-News

little ritual I do upon
first glance into my mirror. "Mirror, mirror on
my wall; who needs a
shave the worst of all?"
Then we have a good
laugh together.
I know that my mirror, my old mirror, that
is, was rather old and
flawed and the reflection
back at me was rather blurry. That is what
made it so endearing to
me. No matter how hard
you tried to clean it the
reflection was still very
cloudy at best. Then,
several years ago an
accident occurred producing a small crack in
my mirror. I must say
it was an improvement
I gladly accepted. It accommodated my split
personality: Sometimes
I feel like a nut, and
sometimes I don't feel
anything. One morning
I could shave on the left
side of the crack and the
next morning I could
shave on the right side.
The thing I loved
about my old mirror was
how it clouded the truth.
The new mirror, however, is very insistent upon
the truth.
A verse of Scripture
came to mind as I pondered my old mirror.
"For now we see through
a glass, darkly; but then
face to face: now I know
in part; but then shall I
know even as also I am
known." (1 Corinthians
13:12).
If someone would like
a mirror that insists on
telling the truth, I have
one for sale.

Daughter’s lies catching
up with her at school
Q: How can I get my
teenage daughter to stop
lying? I've caught her
telling "tall tales," and
now she's complaining
that the kids at school
don't believe anything
she says. What should
I do?
Jim: I'd suggest you
start by trying to uncover the underlying
motive for her lying.
Chances are it's a play
for attention. She may
not feel confident and
secure about who she
is -- and may be trying
desperately to gain her
peers' respect.
If this scenario seems
plausible, the roots of
the problem may lie
within the circle of your
immediate family. Life's
demands can easily siphon off the attention
our kids need, and it
may be that your daughter just wants to be reassured of your love.
Consider looking for
opportunities to spend
some one-on-one time
together. Ask her if
there's anything she'd
like to talk about. If
her problem with lying
has a domestic basis,
you may be able to affect a solution without
ever moving beyond the
home front.
But if this approach
falls flat -- if the lies
seem designed purely to
get a response from her
peers -- then you'll want
to paint a vivid picture
of the negative effect lying will have on her relationships with them:
If her friends feel she
can't be trusted, they
won't want to spend
time with her. This, of
course, is exactly the
opposite of what she's
looking for. Help her un-
derstand that, and you
may start seeing some
real progress.
Regardless, firm consequences for lying, such
as taking away privileges, may also be necessary. Don't get pulled
into a debate with her
about whether or not
she told the truth. Just
deal with the behavior
in a decisive way -- act,
don't yak. Please contact
our counselors if we can
help in any way.

Q: My wife and I
have been married for
three years. A year into
our marriage she began sleeping in another bedroom because my
snoring was keeping
her awake. We still get
along great, but physical intimacy has diminished significantly, and
our relationship feels
more like we're housemates. What can we do?
Greg Smalley,
Vice President, Family Ministries: Surprisingly, the arrangement
you've described is becoming less uncommon.
A recent survey by Ryerson University in Toronto suggests that between 30 to 40 percent
of couples are now opting for separate sleeping
arrangements. While a
good night's sleep is important to both physical
and marital health, I
personally feel that the
benefits of a husband
and wife sharing a bed
are worth exhausting
every effort to find a
solution.
If you haven't already,
make an appointment
with your physician.
Causes for snoring can
sometimes be minor and
easily remedied. Your
doctor can assess your
situation and, if necessary, refer you to a sleep
specialist. If the cause
of your snoring is determined to be obstructive sleep apnea, your
doctor may prescribe a
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure)
machine or may recommend an oral appliance
that repositions the jaw
or tongue.
In the meantime, do
whatever is necessary
to jumpstart your sex
life so you're enjoying
physical intimacy together on a regular
basis. Schedule an "appointment" if you need
to. It may not sound
very romantic, but it's
that important. I'd
also recommend that,
while you're working
toward getting back to
your former sleeping
arrangement, you start
off in the same bed before one of you moves
to the next room for the
night. The quiet and
uninterrupted time together can encourage
emotional and physical
intimacy so crucial to
a strong and vibrant
marriage. Please call
us at 855-771-HELP
(4357) if we can help in
any way.

show
documents the nearly
forgotten history of the
SS Sultana – whose
explosion and sinking
on April 27, 1865, took
the lives of some 1,800
of its 2,427 passengers.
Despite being the worstever maritime disaster
in American history,
news of the sinking of the
side-wheel Mississippi
River steamboat was
barely reported at the
time, overshadowed by
other happenings in the
immediate
aftermath
of the war, including
the assassination of
John
Wilkes
Booth
the day before. Host
Dave Shuffett travels
to Memphis, where the
Sultana sank, to find out

Lloyd
Tilghman
of
McCracken
County,
whose leadership during
the Civil War and
subsequent career as an
engineer are honored in
a historical marker in
Paducah.

The University of Louisville has launched a research trial to study an
investigational medical device designed to aid patients with emphysema
by shutting off the diseased part of the lung. UofL is the only site in
Kentucky among 14 nationwide testing the device.
The Zephyr Endobronchial Valve (EBV) is a one-way valve that blocks
off diseased lung sections to inhaled air but allows trapped air already
inside the area to escape. This enables the collapse of the diseased part of
the lung, allowing for the healthier parts of the lung to expand.
Emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is an
ongoing, progressive disease of the lower respiratory tract in the lungs. It
is a seriously disabling disease with the potential for major complications
and is often eventually fatal.
The symptoms of emphysema include shortness of breath and wheezing,
an abnormal whistling sound made by the lungs during breathing. It is
usually caused by smoking or other long-term exposure to inhaled irritants
such as air pollution, chemicals, manufacturing fumes or small particles
such as coal dust.
The randomized study, known as the LIBERATE study, is investigating
the safety and effectiveness of the EBV for treating emphysema symptoms
as compared to a current standard medical therapy program alone.
Tanya Wiese, D.O., director of the Interventional Pulmonary Program, is
principal investigator of the UofL study.
“The Zephyr EBV’s novel mechanism of action shows promise to help
the healthy parts of the lung expand and reduce the effect of the disease,”
Wiese said. “While not a cure, we believe this device could bring relief and
improved quality of life to our patients with emphysema.”
The EBV can be placed by a doctor in a diseased section of the lungs
using bronchoscopy, a procedure to access the lungs using a small tube
with a camera on the end. With bronchoscopy, a physician can reach the
airways in the lung by passing the tube through either the mouth or nose
so invasive surgery is not required.
The problem of emphysema is particularly acute in Kentucky. The
American Lung Association estimates that more than 56,000 Kentuckians,
or 13 percent of the population, have emphysema, making the incidence of
emphysema in Kentucky one of the highest in the United States.
Enrollment in the study is expected to be completed by the end of 2015
and patients will be followed for three years. To schedule an appointment
to be screened for inclusion or for more information, contact Crissie
DeSpirito at 502-852-0026 or [email protected]. Additional
information on the LIBERATE study is available on the national clinical
trials website, ClinicalTrials.gov, using the Clinical Trials Identifier
NCT01796392 or by calling 1-888-248-LUNG.
The other trial sites are Arizona Pulmonary Specialists, Cleveland
Clinic, Duke University Medical Center, Los Angeles Biomedical Research

School of Medicine, Temple University Hospital, University of Alabama
at Birmingham, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, University of

If Jesus Attended Church
If Jesus attended church services today, would He approve of what is
done in His name? Would He be pleased to see the ballgames, concerts
and carnivals that take place in churches? Would He be disappointed
by how few are willing to attend services unless those things occur? We
can know He would have an opinion on such matters because He commands His followers to do only what He authorizes (Col. 3:17) and to
not forsake the assembly (Heb. 10:25). He also demonstrated His concern for what is practiced in religion when He told those who corrupted
the Temple, “My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves” (Matt. 21:13). If He
felt that way about an institution that was about to be removed (24:2), how does He feel about His church, the “holy
temple in the Lord” (Eph. 2:21)?
When the church at Corinth treated the Lord’s Supper as a common meal, the apostle Paul rebuked them for
misunderstanding both communion and the purpose of the church. He said, “What! Do you not have houses to eat
and drink in? ...if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home” (1 Cor. 11:22, 34). The church was not designed to appeal to
man’s carnal desires, but to build him up spiritually through learning and obeying the truth (Acts 11:21-26). If Jesus
wanted to feed and entertain people He would have instituted a rec center. Instead, He established His church “for the
equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12). Yet, if churches emphasize social programs to lure people to services or cancel services to watch a ballgame, what does it say about their
faith in the gospel? Is that the message Jesus wants His church to convey to a world that is lost in sin (Matt. 28:18-20)?
Is that why He died to establish the church (Acts 20:28)? - Mike Thomas

council’s
nationally
recognized CDA Competency Standards can
help teachers support
young children’s early
care
and
learning
experiences.
“It
takes
special
knowledge, skills and
expertise to be an
effective
teacher
of
young children,” says
Valora
Washington,
CEO of the council.
“It’s a great honor to
earn a CDA and it
shows a commitment to

To obtain a CDA
Credential,
candidates must demonstrate
through
a
comprehensive
evaluation
process
their
knowledge
of
the
council’s
CDA

and be observed working
with young children.
Only after the candidate
successfully completes
the observation and
an exam at a local
Pearson Vue testing
center are they awarded
the
national
Child
Development Associate
(CDA) Credential (valid
for three years).
Earning
a

AARP/RTA Grandparents
Essay winners named
Grandparents are
very important people.
To
some
children,
grandparents
are
“it.” That is the main
reason that the AARP/
RTA developed and
continue the “Why My
Grandparent Should Be
Kentucky Grandparent
of the Year” essay
contest for all public
school fifth graders in
the state of Kentucky.
Each public school picks
a school winner from the
fifth grade and submits
the school winner to the
local Retired Teachers
Association president,
who in turn meets with
a local AARP member
and, abiding by the set
rules of AARP, decide on
a county winner.
This
year’s
school
winners are: Caroline
Kirtley, Beaver Dam
Elementary, daughter
of Michael and Shannon
Kirtley; Aiden Beasley,
Fordsville Elementary,
son of Joey and Jennifer
Beasley; Ally Noffsinger,
Horse
Branch
Elementary, daughter of
Sonya Ford and Jarrod
Woolen; Kaleb Morris,

Little Bit of Everything
By: Dave McBride
[email protected]
I knew it was going to
happen. I knew the day
would come when the
column-writing section
of my brain would go
dead. And now it’s happened.
And no, this is not a
spur-of-the-momenttype thing. This is serious stuff born of a
condition we in the journalism business know
as writer’s block. By
way of comparison, it
would be like a 15-yearold forgetting how to
turn on his cell phone
when text messages and
Facebook gossip are flying all over the place.
My bride always had
what she considered a
pat solution in situations like this.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart, you’ll think of
something to write
about,” she would say.
Well, as much as I
respected and appreciated her optimism and
faith in my ability as
a seasoned journalist,
the hatchet has met the
concrete block.
Here it is Sunday afternoon and a time when I
normally don’t have to
worry about next week’s
column. As a rule, a column already has been
written, proofed and
emailed to my makeup
specialist for inclusion
in the next edition.
But not this time. I’ve
used up about five paragraphs and a hundred
or so words and what’s
on paper thus far is
about as interesting as
listening to Mitch McConnell trying to say
something nice about a
Democrat.
I guess McConnell
himself would make for
some kind of a column,
but I promised my mom
a long time ago that I’d
try and dedicate my
journalism career to
“fair and balanced reporting” - a lot like Fox
and MSNBC do.
How’s that for fair…..
and
balanced…..and
stupid?
No, I’m not going to cry
about not having anything to write about and
dive head-first into politics. That would be like
scraping the very bottom of the “nothing” barrel. I’d rather dive into a
den of rattlesnakes and
try to convince them I’m
just trying to get a feel
for slithering.
So I guess what I’ll do
is sit here, look out the
kitchen window at the
rain, and wait for an inspiration that likely will
never come.
Guess I could have
spent some of the time
I’ve wasted on this stool
and visited my bride
at the cemetery out on
Highway 54. It’s not
likely there are many
graveside visitors out on
a day like today - not
that I believe they would
be missed.
That’s right! I’ve always believed that visits to cemeteries are
for the benefit of those
doing the visiting and
not those being visited.
If that’s not an acceptable thing to say, I’m
sorry. It’s simply that
such visits make me feel
good about doing it, but
not that I’ve in any way
improved the lot of the
deceased.
I’ll explain all of that to
my bride the next visit I
make.
So where does this take
me?
I’ve skirted my way

around cell phone users,
politics,
rattlesnakes
and cemetery visits and
have accomplished little. It makes me glad
I’ve already been inducted into the Kentucky
Journalism
Hall
of
Fame. It also makes me
hope those UK alumni
folks don’t read this and
take it back.
Something not close
to that happened to
me when I was a scrub
member of the St. Francis Academy basketball
team back in the day.
The one point I scored - a free throw - was
disallowed because the
referee said I stepped on
the free throw line.
And that’s it, folks.
I‘ve been at this laptop
computer for the better
part of three hours and
history will record that
it was a total waste of
time. And I really do
hate that. But I guess
that after 43 years of
turning out this column, the originator has
a right to a stumble or
two.
As mentioned before,
W.C. Wallace, a Hartford businessman of several years ago, once said
the best column I ever
wrote was one I didn’t
have anything to write
about. Please, agree
with W.C.
