Kentucky, West Virginiaand Tennessee all share Ap-palachia, one of the most im-poverished regions of thenation. And as most know,the South, in general, ranks

poorly in many categoriescreated to measure aspects ofeach state.

In the WalletHub.comstudy, Kentucky ranked 50thin emotional and physicalwell-being. By now, we haveall heard that Kentuckiansare fat, out of shape and de-pressed.

Crowds just keep getting largerfor the annual Football FellowshipNight at Mexico Baptist Church.

Former University of SouthernCalifornia and National FootballLeague player Keith Davis was thefeatured speaker at the three-hourevent, which included supper, en-tertainment and spiritual enlight-enment.

Davis, who was a star footballplayer at USC and later signedwith the New York Giants of theNFL, is a full-time motivationalspeaker whose main subject isfaith and spirituality. He talkedabout developing a relationshipwith God as a way to improvequality of life.

His mother and father weredrug addicts, he said, and after hisfather committed suicide, hismother found religion. Davis useda football theme to convey hismessage to dozens of young ath-letes in the crowd. Mexico Baptistofficials said about 400 people at-tended the event, calling it the

Dycusburg, Craynepostmasters close out lengthy careersBy JASON TRAVISSTAFF WRITER

In many rural areas of the country, thepost office is often seen as the center of thecommunity. That’s certainly the case for twotiny post offices located in Crittenden County.

Earlier this week, postmasters at both Dy-cusburg and Crayne wrapped up their ca-reers with the U.S. PostalService after a combined 60-plus years on the job. GailBannister and Rose Ann Be-bout sorted their last mailTuesday, but not by coinci-dence. Both women said itwas always their intention toretire at the same time.

Bannister, who was bornand raised Dycusburg, wasthe postmaster at the smalltown on the Cumberland River for 30 years.And in her role as head of the local mail cen-ter, she wasn’t just the postmaster, she wasalso a friend to each member of the commu-nity who stopped in.

“I’m going to miss the people,” she told TheCrittenden Press last week before her retire-ment. “I will miss both the customers and thepeople. I miss the people who have passedaway that I’ve known through the years.”

KET doc focuseson need for GEDTo the editor

It’s reported that in Ken-tucky, more than 750,000adults don’t have a high schooldiploma or GED credential.Nearly one in five Americanslacks a high school diploma,and every year, 1 million morestudents drop out.

The statistics are sobering.People without a high schooldiploma or GED are twice aslikely to be unemployed. Theyare more likely to live inpoverty, to become teen par-ents and to abuse alcohol anddrugs. Three out of four prisoninmates are dropouts.

Further, the gap betweenwhat our economy demandsand the qualified workforceneeded by the business com-munity is vast and continues towiden.

Why do people drop out ofschool? And, why are somedropouts successful in return-ing to school and continuingtheir education against allodds?

As public media’s leader inadult education for more thanfour decades, these are ques-tions KET wanted to exploremore fully.

As part of the Corporationfor Public Broadcasting’sAmerican Graduate initiative,KET was selected to producethe inspiring stories of Ameri-cans who had quit school, butare “dropping back in” andachieving success.

“Dropping Back In,” a seriesof four, half-hour documen-taries, premieres Monday at 8p.m. on KET and will broad-cast on PBS member stationsnationally.

Through the programs, wecome to understand the chal-lenges faced by those whodrop out. And, we learn aboutthe individuals and institutionshelping lead adult learners onthe path to college and careersuccess.

Every community in Amer-ica faces the challenge of adultdropouts and the need to im-

prove college and careerreadiness. Each of us canplay a role in helping individu-als continue their education,making our communities andour state stronger.

Former coworker:Kirk man for jailerTo the editor

I am in support of RobbieKirk for Crittenden CountyJailer.

I have known Robbie for30-plus years and worked withhim for 20-plus of those years.We worked together for theKentucky State Police, and Ihave always known him to behard working, honest and will-ing to do what is right to getthe job done.

Due to his work experience,he possesses the knowledgeand skills needed to run theCrittenden County DetentionCenter in a professional andsuccessful manner. He hasproven experience in dealingwith matters such as dealingwith prisoners (both violentand non-violent), dealing withtime and manpower manage-

ment, handling heavily regu-lated government funds andbudgetary matters and dealingwith the public.

Being very familiar with thecriminal justice system andmost of the prisons and countyjails in the western part of thestate, I have some insight intowhat is needed to run a suc-cessful jail. It is my belief thatRobbie possesses the qualitiesand experience needed in theposition of Crittenden CountyJailer.

Former inmate:Kirk fair leaderTo the editor

I am writing this letter onbehalf of Robbie Kirk, whom Imet while I was in CrittendenCounty Detention Center.

Robbie is someone who Ilook up to as an individual andas a community leader. Hehelped me a great deal while Iwas incarcerated.

I am one of the women whogot the opportunity to workwith Robbie in the Victory Gar-dens. Working in the VictoryGardens helped me a lot whileI was incarcerated, and it gaveme an opportunity to help oth-ers for the first time in my life.

I am now back living inKansas City, and I am em-ployed full time but have notforgotten what I learned at the

gardens. I now volunteer andhelp others who are in trouble.

Robbie goes beyond his du-ties when serving his commu-nity and those who need him.Robbie is a leader and willmake a great jailer; he judgesno one and as jailer, he willhelp a lot of inmates in thesame way that he has helpedme.

Kemper deservessupport for jailerTo the editor

I am writing this letter to en-dorse Daniel Kemper for jailer.This endorsement is no sur-prise, since I’ve known him for40 years. He and I attendedTolu grade school and Critten-den County High School.Daniel joined the Army, and Ijoined the Marines after highschool. As a veteran, I knowDaniel understands the mean-ing of service. Every solidershould understand they arebeholden to the American peo-ple. Daniel will apply this atti-tude as jailer.

His service in the Army, in-cluding serving with 101st Air-borne in the Persian Gulf War,has a way of instilling a can-doattitude. Most combat veteranscan tell you stories about beingcold, wet, hungry and at timesscared. You may not see howthis applies to being jailer, butstrife builds character, it hum-bles you, it makes youstronger, and we need thosequalities in our elected offi-cials. We need a jailer who ishumble enough to reachacross party lines and worklock step with the fiscal court.

Daniel has spent the lastfew years managing peopleand budgets, he’s not retired.The jail needs his manage-ment and budgetary experi-ence. Daniel understands eachdollar spent belongs to thepeople of Crittenden County.

I support Daniel Kemper forjailer, I hope you do too.

EDITORIAL

Local option salestax deserves turnat state’s ballot box

What we need in Crittenden County is anotherlocal option election.

Understand, we are not talking about anotherreferendum on alcohol. Far from it. We speak of oneon taxation reform.

A failed effort in Frankfort this winter – two, infact – would have allowed cities and counties topass at the ballot box measures to fund communityprojects through local sales and use taxes. In short,it would have given voters the option to temporarilybump the local sales and use taxes by a penny inorder to finance capital projects such as parks,roads, sidewalks, arts and culture developmentsand neighborhood revitalization, to name a few.

It could also fund something such as an exten-sive upgrade of the lighting system at Marion-Crit-tenden County Park.

Quickly, to recap, the park is in desperate needof new lights at a few ball fields. The park board hasasked the city, county, tourism commission andboard of education to finance the annual debt serv-ice on the $300,000-plus upgrade.

The park, by the shear number of people it drawsto the facility in a year’s time, is the single biggestattraction in this county. And it’s a public park,making it the responsibility of public entities tokeep it safe and viable, as the park board itself hasno mechanism to raise money.

But our opinion is not about the park, specifi-cally. The park is just one great example of how alocal option sales tax could help a community im-prove without leaning on property owners, busi-nesses and workers.

Yet it appears that dysfunction in Frankfort isstanding in the way of the local option sales anduse tax that 37 other states already allow for com-munity development projects. Two bills were filedduring the latest legislative session – one by a De-mocrat and one by a Republican – and each had bi-partisan support. Yet legislative leadership in bothchambers failed to push either proposal out of com-mittee. In other words, the fruit died on the vine.

It’s also been tried in Frankfort on multiple ear-lier occasions, obviously to no avail.

Oh, how politics can seem to get in the way of agood thing.

However, in the future, if lawmakers could reachagreement on the local option sales tax, an amend-ment to the state constitution would be put on theballot for voters of Kentucky to approve or deny. Ifthe amendment were approved, cities or countieswould then be allowed to propose certain capitalprojects to be funded by the addition of a localpenny to the current 6-percent state sales tax.

Voters, once again, would be called upon. Theywould have to approve at the ballot box fundingsuch a project through that extra penny levied onmost goods and services sold within the commu-nity. It wouldn’t apply to already-tax exempt goodssuch as groceries or medicines.

The finances generated by the penny tax wouldbe dedicated to the proposed project only, and onceenough revenue to fund the project through thatextra levy was taken in, the tax would be removed.

A local option sales tax simply allows communi-ties to take control of their own destiny

“It is a defined period of time to pay for a specificpublic project and is decided by the public,” saidCrittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom.“Either (voters) want to pay for the project or theydon't. Simple!”

Newcom likes the idea of a local sales tax option,as does Marion Mayor Mickey Alexander. Addition-ally, all eight living Kentucky governors support italong with other mayors, judge-executives, cham-bers of commerce, economic development agenciesand even 61 percent of Kentuckians, according to apoll from the Local Investments for TransformationCoalition, also known as LIFT Kentucky.

“I had pledged my support of their effort to getthat passed last session and will again next ses-sion,” Newcom said of legislators shepherding thelocal option sales tax amendment. “I feel this is thebasic form of governance and allows the public tomake decisions about the future and growth of theirown community.”

The sales tax is the most fair of the much-dreaded taxes. It is neither based on income norproperty values. The beauty is, even out-of-townersdrawn to the park, Amish community or just pass-ing through would help pay to improve Marion orCrittenden County.

And if you think little can get done with a penny,don’t be mistaken.

According to LIFT Kentucky, New Ellenton, S.C.,a town with a population two-thirds that of Marion,used local option sales tax proceeds to build a newcommunity center. And, based on the 2013 esti-mated retail tax base in Crittenden County, reportsLIFT Kentucky, the addition of a 1-percent sales taxin that calendar would have generated $625,000,double the anticipated cost of the lighting upgradeat the local park.

So a penny could go a long way in revitalizingCrittenden County, if only Frankfort would allow it.

The story goes that ayoung man from ruralAmerica was having atough time finding workaround his hometown. Afriend told him he neededto go to Atlanta.

“It’s the garden spot ofthe world. You can make itthere ... money grows ontrees,” his buddy pro-claimed.

Sure enough, the unem-ployed man caught a Grey-hound bus and headed forAtlanta. Along the way, hemet another man on thebus and said he was on hisway to make his fortune. Asthey departed the bus andwalked through the termi-nal, he repeated the“money grows on trees”line, walking into the brightGeorgia sunlight, taking adeep breath of fresh air.The newfound friend looksdown and spotted a $5 billon the pavement. Then heloudly proclaimed as hewalked right by it, “Heck,I’m not working my firstday in town.”

As far-fetched and outra-geous it is for the “moneygrows on trees” thing, ashort time back, a news re-lease out of Australia of-fered that they had goldgrowing on some of theirtrees.

Are you kidding?Given the right condi-

tions, it turns out gold can,indeed, grow on trees.

Are you kidding me?Small amounts of gold

have been found by Aus-tralian scientists in thebark, twigs and leaves ofeucalyptus trees. There’sonly one catch. The treeshave to be growing abovegold deposits deep beneaththe ground’s surface.

Yeah, right! Why notlook for those trees and

start digging with bothhands?

The Australian scientistssay the amount of gold inthe bark, twigs and leavesis so minute, that the goldis very difficult to detectwith the naked eye.

Then why all the fuss?Here goes. The scientists

go on to say that once thegold element reaches theleaves, because it is toxic,the leaves fall to theground. They then decom-pose, dropping gold into thesurrounding soil, and theprocess starts over.

The researchers go on topoint out they are not sug-gesting people start miningAustralian eucalyptus, butwhat they do say is thatgold prospectors might beable to look at trees tolearn where gold might be.

Are you kidding me,again?

Before you grab a shovel,backpack and tent, be re-minded of “The Great Dia-mond Hoax of 1872.” Itreally happened.

A Kentuckian, from Eliz-abethtown had worked inthe mining business as abookkeeper for years in SanFrancisco, and in 1870, hedecided to try bigger andbetter things.

Philip Arnold concocteda scheme that would bringhim riches he only dreamedabout. But to make it work,he would need a partner.He turned to another Ken-

tuckian, John Slack, anolder cousin of his, alsofrom Elizabethtown.

They put together a hoaxdescribed by the San Fran-cisco Chronicle in 1872, as“The most gigantic andbare-faced swindle of theage.”

Their plan was simple:take rough cut, low-gradediamonds purchased inEurope and “salt” a remotearea in northwest Colorado,with the near fakes.

The fakes were goodenough to pull the woolover the eyes ofsome of California’smost prominentbankers and busi-nessmen, lawyersfrom both coastsand even thefounder of Tiffany &Co. People stood inline to invest in landcovered in dia-monds.

It was said that Arnoldnetted well over a-half-mil-lion dollars and Slack a lit-tle less before the hoaxunraveled. But when it did,both Kentuckians were longgone. Although Slack wasseen here and there, overthe next two decades, hemoved about, finally set-tling in New Mexico, wherehe died in 1896.

Arnold, on the otherhand, took his wealth backto Elizabethtown. Hebought a big home, becamea gentleman farmer andeven invested in a localbank. However, in June1878, a quarrel with an-other banker in town led toa shootout that injuredthree bystanders andArnold himself. Whilemending from a shoulderwound, Arnold came downwith pneumonia and inearly February 1879, died

at the age of 49. He isburied in the City Ceme-tery.

A recent publication byRon Elliott, a Bardstownwriter, details the hoax.

“American Eldorado: TheGreat Diamond Hoax of1872,” is thorough and en-tertaining while pointingout that greed has beenaround for a long time.

Money and gold growingon trees? Maybe. In 1872,it was probably said bysomeone, “There’s dia-monds in them thar hills.”

And now in 2014 its,“There’s gold inthem thar trees.”

Hoaxes have beenwith us for yearsand will never goaway. RememberSidd Finch? SportsIllustrated reportedthe young Metspitcher could throwa baseball 168 mph

and had honed his skills ata Tibetan monastery. Thearticle turned out to be anApril fool hoax.

Then there was, in 1971,writer Clifford Irving’s biog-raphy of eccentric billion-aire Howard Hughes, whohad not appeared in publicin several years. Irving soldhis story for $1 million, butprior to publication,Hughes appeared to exposethe hoax. Irving, un-daunted, still sold a storyon how he almost pulledthe hoax.

There’s no excuse. So getup, get out and get going.

A little more than two months after the Crittenden County Lions Club Fair demolition derby,the civic group will be hosting another derby on Oct. 18. Funds raised from the gate help fundmyriad community projects throughout the year.

So what’s the study tell us,besides we need to keep abox of tissue handy?

Money isn’t everything."We saw that health had

more of a factor on happinessthan wealth," Jill Gonzalez,spokesperson forWalletHub.com, told Ken-tucky News Connection. "Sothat's one thing that moneycan't buy. So really, beinghealthy is what leads to beinghappy."

Money may not be every-thing, but it is something.

According to WalletHub.com, a separate studysuggests that life satisfaction,

a key component to life hap-piness, increases as incomerises…at least up to $75,000.Considering the average Ken-tuckian, according to U.S.Census figures, makes only$23,000, we could stand tobuy about $52,000 more ofhappiness.

“Beyond that, moneymakes little difference in aperson’s overall happiness,”WalletHub.com reports of the$75,000 figure.

I can understand thatmoney should not determinea person’s happiness. Peopleunnecessarily stress them-selves over having to have thelatest gadgets or keeping upappearances – trendy clothes,expensive cars, large houses,expansive real estate and ac-cessories like boats or motor-cycles.

But money is key to sev-eral basic factors that turnKentucky’s smiles upside

down. Poverty is a real prob-lem in the state and thiscounty, where almost 1 in 5is impoverished. Sadly, ittakes money to receive qual-ity health care and eat prop-erly, which is important toemotional and physical well-being. It also takes money toparticipate in many of thosecommunity, environmentaland recreational activitiesthat keep smiles on our faces.

If Kentucky ranks near thebottom in the nation in hap-piness, that fact is sad in it-self. Mental health appears tobe a serious problem in thecommonwealth, one thatcan’t be corrected by simplypulling ourselves up by ourbootstraps or buying our wayout.

It may take more musclesto frown, but it’s going to takea lot more work to make Ken-tucky happy than simplyfeigning a smile.

State couldsee gas under $3 per gallonThe Paducah Sun

Kentucky could be among30 states to have at least somegas stations selling gasolinebelow $3 a gallon this fall, ac-cording to an industry analyst.

Gasoline prices typicallydecline in autumn. This year,they are being pulled evenlower by falling global oilprices. domestic production inthe u.S. has also increased toits highest level since 1986, ac-cording to Gregg Laskoski, ananalyst for GasBuddy.com.

Prices begin to dip in the fallbecause refiners are allowedto switch to a cheaper blend ofgas for cooler months and driv-ing demand falls after summer.

On Tuesday, the averageprice for a gallon of regular gasin Marion was $3.25 per gallon.

Grade, drain workon 641 nearly done

Initial preparation of theroadbed of the new U.S. 641could be completed by theend of the month, reportsKeith Todd, a spokesman forthe Kentucky TransportationCabinet.

“Our contractor believesthe grade and drain work iswithin two to four weeks ofbeing complete, weather per-mitting,” Todd said Mondayin an email to The CrittendenPress.

Todd reports much of theground along the route hasbeen prepped and seeded tohelp prevent erosion. Thecontractor will also be puttingup “Road closed” signs ateach intersection with exist-ing county roads. Local lawenforcement has also beenasked to patrol the area andissue citations to anyonefound trespassing along thenew right-of-way.

“We do not want peoplegoing in withfour-wheel-ers and rut-ting up thee m b a n k -ments andincreas ingthe potentialerosion prob-lems afterthe gradeand drain

work is complete,” Toddadded.

Meantime, a gravel basehas been put down at the in-tersections of Crayne Ceme-tery and Lloyd roads whichbisect the new U.S. 641. Thatis in preparation for a baselayer of asphalt followed byfinish pavement work at theintersections to occur in thenear future.

“This work could likelycreate two or three days of in-convenience to motorists withlane restrictions and flaggerscontrolling traffic,” Todd said.

The spokesman said theTransportation Cabinet is op-timistic that funding could beavailable late next summer toallow paving of two lanes ofthe new section of U.S. 641.

Unemployment fallsin all Ky. counties

All 120 Kentucky countiesexperienced drops in unem-ployment rates between Au-gust 2013 and 2014 – thefirst across-the-board declineon record and another indi-

cation that the state's econ-omy is recovering from theGreat Recession, a stateeconomist said last Thurs-day.

“The underlying messageis that we have left the reces-sion behind,” Manoj Shanker,an economist with the stateOffice of Employment andTraining in Frankfort, said inreporting the latest county-by-county jobless numbers.

Last week, the sameagency said Kentucky's econ-omy is on pace in the comingmonths to fully regain all thejobs lost during the reces-sion. The state has recovered96 percent of the 122,100nonfarm jobs that vanishedby early 2010 when employ-ment sagged to its lowestlevel during the economicdownturn.

Kentucky's preliminaryunemployment rate lastmonth was 7.1 percent, downfrom 8.4 percent a year ago.

In tracking county-by-county joblessness, the low-est and highest rates inAugust 2014 ranged from 5.1percent in Owen, Simpsonand Woodford counties to13.3 percent in MagoffinCounty, Shanker said.

State removingright-of-way signs

The placement of advertis-ing signs on Kentucky statehighway rights-of-way isagainst the law. Illegallyplaced signs interfere withhighway maintenance opera-tions and can create a safetyhazard for motorists. Despitethis prohibition, an increas-

ing number of improperlyplaced signs has appeared inrecent weeks. Many are polit-ical signs promoting candi-dates who will be on theballot in November.

Personnel from the Ken-tucky Transportation Cabinetare removing signs placed il-legally on state rights-of-way.Signs that interfere withmowing or maintenance ac-tivity will be targeted, alongwith signs that impede sightdistance for drivers or poseother safety hazards.

“We still have anothercycle of mowing along ourhighways to complete thisyear,” said Kentucky Trans-portation Cabinet District 1Chief Engineer Mike McGre-gor.

Various Kentucky statelaws, administrative regula-tions and TransportationCabinet policies prohibit theplacement of political or otheradvertising signs on stateright-of-way. This includessigns attached to utility poleswithin the state right-of-way.

By JASON TRAVISSTAFF WRITER

Imagine cleaning up theenvironment by taking theequivalent of nearly 3,000passenger automobiles off theroad.

That’s what CrittendenCounty School District esti-mates it has done by addingseven propane buses to itstransportation fleet. Once thesole pilot school district forpropane buses in Kentucky,the state is now allowingother school districts to pur-chase buses that burnpropane autogas. Officialsstress the advantages go be-yond savings in fuel costs.

Wayne Winters, a trans-portation department officialat Crittenden CountySchools, said cleaner burningfuels do more than just savemoney; they provide long-term health care benefits tocommunities. Winters said

he’s been fielding several callsfrom school districts fromacross the state that want toknow more about runningpropane buses versus tradi-tional diesel buses. Critten-den County’s successful pilotprogram with a cleaner burn-ing, more economical

propane school bus has defi-nitely interested other dis-tricts. Allen County in southcentral Kentucky has pur-chased at least two propanebuses for its school district.

Winters said the intereststems from both fuel savingsand going greener with a

cleaner fuel source.“I think it is generated

from both sides. I think(school officials) are interestedin it for a healthier environ-ment but also for savingmoney,” he said. “When wecan do both, it’s just out-standing.”

In Crittenden County, itcosts 23 cents a mile to run apropane bus versus about 56cents a mile to run a dieselbus on routes. But Winterssaid the benefits don’t stopthere. Cleaner burning fuelmeans healthier children notexposed to microscopic parti-cles that can cause respira-tory problems.

“Even if it cost us dollar fordollar to run propane like itdoes diesel, the health caresavings alone would be wellworth it over a period of time,”Winters said.

Keeping transportationcosts down is also a concern

for school districts. Winterssaid the initial propane buswas estimated to get 5 milesto the gallon while tacking on16,000 miles a school year onone of the longer bus routesin the county. Fuel savings onthat route with the propanebus came in at around$5,000 compared to runninga diesel bus.

School districts now havethe option of following Crit-tenden County’s lead in re-placing aging buses withthose that run cleaner. UnlikeTennessee schools, whichmust retire conventional orType C school buses after 12years, Kentucky schools don’thave such a requirement.Winters said purchasingnewer buses has advantages.A bus bought 20 years agodoesn’t have the improvedsafety standards that are inplace on modern buses.School districts must also

consider maintenance costson older buses. Winters saidto replace a motor on a buscosts around $23,000, and itcosts around $10,000 to re-place the transmission. Thosefigures alone almost equalhalf the cost of a new bus.

The idea to operatepropane school buses isn’tnew. Several states, includingCalifornia and Indiana, havefleets of buses running onpropane. But the idea to runthose buses in Kentucky did-n’t take hold until school offi-cials in Crittenden Countyapproached state officialsabout piloting the program forthe commonwealth.

“The whole program, thewhole project has been ahuge success. Propane busesare in a regular line item nowfor any school district acrossthe state of Kentucky,” Win-ters said. “Those orders arestarting to come in.”


Crittenden County School District’s fleet of propane buses, to-taling seven, is estimated to take the equivalent of 3,000 pas-senger automobiles off the road.

New programs helpfarms manage risk

New programs to helpfarmers better manage risk,ushering in one of the mostsignificant reforms to U.S.farm programs in decades,were announced last week.New tools are now available tohelp provide farmers the infor-mation they need to choosethe new safety net programthat is right for their business.

"Farming is one of theriskiest businesses in theworld," said U.S. Departmentof Agriculture Secretary TomVilsack. "These new programshelp ensure that risk can beeffectively managed so thatfamilies don't lose farms thathave been passed downthrough generations becauseof events beyond their control.

The new programs, Agri-cultural Risk Coverage (ARC)and Price Loss Coverage(PLC), are cornerstones of thecommodity farm safety netprograms in the 2014 FarmBill. Both programs offerfarmers protection when mar-ket forces cause substantialdrops in crop prices and/orrevenues. Producers will havethrough early spring of 2015to select which program worksbest for their businesses.

To help farmers choose be-tween ARC and PLC, USDA

helped create online tools thatallow farmers to enter infor-mation about their operationand see projections aboutwhat each program will meanfor them under possible fu-ture scenarios. The new toolsare now available at fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc.

Farm owners may nowbegin visiting their local FarmService Agency office if theywant to update their yield his-tory and/or reallocate baseacres, the first step beforechoosing which new programbest serves their risk manage-ment needs.

The next step in USDA’ssafety net implementation isscheduled for this winter,when all producers on a farmbegin making their election,which will remain in effect for2014-18 crop years betweenthe options offered by ARCand PLC.

Conservation aid,funding available

Landowners, farmers andproducers can visit their localNatural Resources Conserva-tion Service (NRCS) office nowto receive information andapply for conservation techni-cal assistance and possiblefunding opportunities.

The application process forconservation programs is con-

tinuous, but funding selec-tions for specific programs aremade throughout the year.

For the EnvironmentalQuality Incentives Program(EQIP), the first applicationcutoff period date for consid-eration for 2015 funds is Nov.21. Applications received afterthat date will be held until thenext application cut off period,which will be March 20, 2015.

EQIP provides financialand technical assistance tofarmers and ranchers whoface threats to soil, water, airand related natural resourceson their land. Through EQIP,NRCS develops contracts withproducers to voluntarily im-plement conservation prac-tices. Eligible land includescropland, pastureland, privatenon-industrial forestland, andother farm or ranch lands.

EQIP offers several na-tional and state initiatives that

include the Seasonal HighTunnel Initiative, Organic Ini-tiative, On-Farm Energy Ini-tiative, Wildlife Initiative andForestry Initiative. Interestedland users should visit theirlocal NRCS office to find outwhat opportunities are avail-able through each of theseEQIP Initiatives.

All recipients of assistanceare required to develop a con-servation plan. Landownersshould work with a conserva-tion planner to develop theplan based on the landowner’soperational goals to improvethe productivity, sustainabil-ity and profitability of their op-eration.

Please notice, God saysin 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If Mypeople who are called by Myname will humble them-selves, and pray and seekMy face, and turn fromtheir wicked ways, then Iwill hear from heaven, andwill forgive their sin andheal their land.”

Statistics say over 78percent of Americans saythey are Christian. Yet themajority of Americans votefor men and women to ruleover us who support andask for the killings of themost innocent and helplessamong us – babies in theirown mother’s wombs. Theyask for and support the evilactions against the directwords of God in homosexu-ality, lesbianism, adulteryand fornication. They passlaws that permit homosexu-als and their ilk to forcebusinesses to close if theydo not support theiragenda, forcing them to payhefty fines.

As God watched HisChosen People choose tofollow their neighboringheathens instead of Him,He then sent the abovemessage to them in Chroni-cles, but they would not re-pent, so He sent his last

warning to Amos.God has done as He said

He would in Amos 6 to thebackslidden Israelites andpromises us the same treat-ment which has alreadybeen put into motion. Thereare all kinds of diseases,hunger, droughts, floods,young men being slain andforeign invaders slaughter-ing them.

God has sent all thesenational disasters to eachpart of His world at onetime or another, and now toAmerica, who has been thelast to succumb to such di-abolical evils, is dealingwith fires, floods, droughts,storms, hurricanes and tor-nados.

George Mason, the fatherof the Bill of Rights, warnedearly America that if sheever left God, she wouldsuffer these things.

“By an inevitable chain

of causes and effects, Provi-dence punishes nationalsins, by national calami-ties,” he said.

The same message is toall the world, and all theother nations around uswho have left God a longtime ago.

America stood fast formany years, as Godbrought us through as vic-tors in two world wars. Butin the 1950s, people beganto replace God and right-eous living with lovers ofpleasures more than loversof God. As a result, the Ko-rean and Vietnam warswere not won, just stopped,and we are in a world warnow that only God can helpus win.

Up until 2008, all othercontinents had legalizedsame-sex marriage butAmerica and Asia.

America was called aChristian nation for many,many years and wasfounded on Christian prin-ciples. Our laws were basedon the Bible and the nationhas been blessed over andabove even the great nationof Israel in its pristine state.But we have been warnedover and over by God’sWord.

However, our people re-fuse to read and obey God’sWord. We have finally suc-cumbed to the evils of ourpagan neighbors and noware in line for the fate ofSodom and Gomorrah andthe awful, painful demise ofthe great nation of Israel in70 A.D., when 1.1 millionJews were slaughtered inJerusalem. In addition,hundreds were carriedaway to be spread all overthe world and are stillhounded and promised ex-tinction by the Muslims.

Now we also are prom-ised.

Asia is the only continentthat has not legalized same-sex marriage, and all Asia ispagan, communist andMuslim barbarians exceptIsrael, and it is anti-Christ-ian.

God has been so patientwith all the world, downthrough the centuries, asall at one time either knewthe Law or the Gospel.

Jesus said the end wouldnot come until the Gospelwas heard around theworld. That has now beenaccomplished and rejectedby most.

God said His Word wasforever settled in Heaven,

and that it changes not. Every honest and in-

formed American knows weare living in perilous timeswith cruel, inhumane actscommitted in homes, busi-nesses and schools and onour streets. And why not,with a killing culture of over55 million innocents underour belts?

Now a fanatical killingreligious culture has in-vaded and covered theglobe, totally encirclingevery Christian all over theworld.

Paul said times would beperilous because menwould be lovers of their ownselves.

Islam raises and prosely-tizes people telling themthat their God commandsthem to give their lives inforcing others to join theirreligion or kill them. It alsoguarantees them not only ahome in Heaven, but for themen, 70 virgins awaitingtheir arrival at their dis-posal.

Talk about lovers of self!Just looking at the three

signs God’s Word gives usof the end should cause allof us to obey the beginningscripture of this column:

- Gospel preached to all

the world.- Perilous times.- Trinity of pagan and

false religions totally encir-cling every Christian allover the entire earth tomake war with them.

This should strike terrorin all lost souls heading notonly for a cruel and tragictime before the end butafter the end going intowhat Jesus said was a fur-nace of everlasting firewhere the worm dies notand the fire is notquenched.

If millions of Americanswill respond to the convic-tions of the Holy Spirit andtruly repent and turn toGod, He will still heal ourland. And believe me, He isthe only one who can atthis late date.

God’s invitation is stillthere in the Old Testamentquoted at the beginning,which is all bound in thewords of Jesus in the NewTestament: “Repent or per-ish.”

Oh, sinners, repent!(Rev. Lucy Tedrick of Mar-

ion shares her views regu-larly in this newspaper. Heropinions are her own, andare not necessarily those ofthe newspaper.)

God: ‘If My people will turn from wickedness’

By FELTY YODERGUEST COLUMNIST

We have considered thespiritual significance of theFeast of Tabernacles as itwas observed by Israel aftertheir exodus from Egypt. Letus now consider the spiri-tual significance of the dayof restoration, following Is-rael’s captivity into Babylon.Both periods of history areapplicable to our day, whenGod is restoring the glory,power and wisdom of theChurch of Jesus Christ toits spiritual completion.

The books of Ezra, Ne-hemiah, Haggai andZachariah deal particularlywith the remnant of the Is-raelites who returned toJerusalem after the captiv-ity. Ezra was a priest. Ne-hemiah was a governor ofJerusalem. Haggai andZachariah were prophets ofthe Lord who encouragedthe builders in their attemptto restore the walls and thetemple and the order of reli-gious worship. They weredetermined that everythingshould be restored accord-ing to the original pattern.

“And when the seventhmonth was come, and the

children of Israel were in thecities, the people gatheredthemselves together as oneman to Jerusalem,” readsEzra 2:1.

They kept the feast of tab-ernacles, but they could notkeep it in its fullness, for thefoundation of the house ofthe Lord was not yet laid.But they observed the pat-tern the best they could, andGod honored their faith.

The vast majority of Is-raelites were content to stayin Babylon. They had grownup in that state and knewnothing of the glory whichonce rested mightily on theTemple of God.

Babylon was good tothem, and they were pros-perous enough; so whyshould they want to venturewith a small group of Is-raelites to a land they hadnever seen. To them, it musthave looked like such an ut-terly hopeless situation for apeople – who perhaps hadlittle education or businessand administrative ability –to start construction on acity that had been wastedmany years ago and to erecta temple comparable to KingSolomon’s.

And as then, so also now,a remnant of people whohave really seen the vision ofwhat God is doing are as-sembling together as oneman. It is the vision of theBody of Christ. It is the vi-sion and assurance that outof the dust and desolationthere must arise a Holy Cityand a Temple not made withhands and a gloriouschurch without spot orwrinkle.

We are not denying thatGod has bestowed manyblessings on the church andhas carried us on eagle’swings. But the sad fact re-mains that for century aftercentury there has been anawful lot of ecclesiastical de-bris floating along in thevarious channels of theRiver of God. We have beenin Babylon (confusion) longenough.

It is the work of the HolySpirit to re-establish theTemple of God and its spiri-tual order of worship. Wecan thank God that the pat-tern has been revealed, theworth started and the foun-dation has been laid. Per-haps it is not too evident tosome, because the building

is just under construction.There may be very few whocan discern the foundation,let alone the Temple takingshape; for a newly laid foun-dation is usually almost ob-scured amidst the forms,supports, heaps of dirt andstacks of boards that coverthe ground.

And still, it is really notthe ministers’ responsibilityto try to prove that the foun-dation of the apostles andprophets has been re-laid.His duty is to minister theBread of Life to the hungry,feed Christ’s sheep andnourish His people; not tofill them with doctrines andtheories which will notprofit.

The remnant of the peo-ple who returned from Baby-lon kept the Feast ofTabernacles in due season.And on the last day of thefeast, a word from the Lordcame to Haggai, and hespoke to the governor, highpriest and the people en-couraging them to be strongand to work, for the Lordwas with them.

He ended his prophecywith these words found inHaggai 2:9: “The glory of this

latter house shall be greaterthan of the former, saith theLord of hosts; and in thisplace will I give peace, saiththe Lord of hosts.”

Neither Zerubabel’s Tem-ple nor the Temple of Herodcould begin to compare withSolomon’s Temple. But Godwas not speaking of theearthly house. He wasspeaking of the Temple notmade with hands, but com-

posed of living stones. “For ye are the Temple of

the living God; as God hathsaid, I will dwell in them,and walk in them; and I willbe their God, and they shallbe my people,” reads 2Corinthians 6:16.

Holy Spirit must re-establish temple, not human hands

largest ever.Davis explained how that

through faith, trust in Godand a relationship with theLord anyone can overcome abad first half and finishstrong in life.

"When Jesus was on thecross, they thought it wasover," Davis said.

"But can you say, 'Secondhalf?'" he asked.

The ex-football player –who claims to bench pressmore than 500 pounds – dis-played his physical strength

by bending a straight metalrod into the shape of a U whileholding it in between histeeth. He said God gives thosewho are lost a chance to makea "U-turn" and finish on top.

"God loves U-turns," hesaid. "You don't have to begreat to get started, but youhave to get started to begreat."

Davis talked about theNFL's current problems withdomestic violence issues. Hetold the group that women areto be treated like queens andthat although you might beborn a male, it takes muchmore to become a "man," in-cluding respect for women.

Researchers at StanfordUniversity recently won-dered why some babiesseemed to know morewords than other babies.They also noticed thatsome babies could showthrough body movements,face expressions andsounds that they under-stood meanings of languagefaster than other babies.The researchers recordedconversations in familieswith toddlers. They thenstudied those conversa-tions to analyze the amountand kinds of language thetoddlers heard and re-sponded to. They alsomeasured the speed withwhich the children re-

sponded to talking directedto them.The researchers discov-

ered that children can con-nect simple words withmeaning at a very youngage if they live in a lan-guage-rich environment.This learning can happenwell before toddlers canspeak language very well.The research team foundthat even by 18 months the

brains of toddlers who par-ticipated in daily face-to-face conversations couldprocess information and re-spond faster than thosewho were not part of con-versations as often. Theyalso found that by age 2,toddlers from higher in-come families processedlanguage 30 percent fasterthan toddlers from lowerincome families. Put an-other way, disadvantagedchildren at age 2 wereusing language at a speedthat more advantaged chil-dren were able to process atage 18 months.The study suggests four

points:-Babies and toddlers can

understand and respond tolanguage much earlier thanpreviously thought, be-tween birth and 2 years ofage.-Family income and par-

ents’ level of educationmakes an important differ-ence in children’s ability tolearn language well in theyears before they begin toread. This is because fami-lies with higher income andeducational levels tend touse more language directlyinvolving the child.-Face-to-face conversa-

tions with babies, introduc-ing them to interestingthings around them,singing, rhyming and story-book reading are all impor-

tant ways to develop theparts of children’s brainsthat help them learn lan-guage, no matter what levelof income and educationtheir families have. -Sitting children in front

of the television does noth-ing to help language learn-ing, and can even beharmful. Children under 2years of age should notwatch television.The amount and speed of

language that childrenhear, understand and useat a very young age makesan important difference intheir being ready to suc-ceed in elementary school.Parents need to spend timeevery day with their babies

and toddlers talking,singing, chanting rhymes,reading storybooks andshowing children the worldaround them. These learn-ing activities are free for allfamilies. Public librarieshave many storybooks freeof charge. Income level doesnot need to be the deter-mining factor in young chil-dren’s readiness for formallearning in school.

Homemaker club meetsSTAFF REPORT

The After Hours Home-makers Club met Sept. 9,with 11 members in atten-dance. The program for theevening was presented byJerrell James and Darl Hen-ley entitled, “Get on theLeader Ship.” The club considered many

great leaders in our nation:George Washington, Abra-ham Lincoln, Rosa Parks,Corrie Tin Boone and MartinLurther King. According to the diction-

ary, leadership is to influenceothers toward a standardgoal. The club discussed threefactors that make up leader-ship. First, one must have a

group. A leader cannot lead orpersuade without at least onefollower. Second, one musthave a goal. A leader needs tolead a group toward a sharedgoal. Third, one must havestructure. A leader must havesome sort of structure toavoid chaos and reach goals. Members also discussed

qualities of a good leader,which include confidence,creativity, being a good lis-tener, a visionary, an ability toinspire and share credit, self-esteem and trust. Communication also plays

an important role. Communi-cation helps a leader build re-lationships, delegate tasksand share goals and visions.Not only is verbal communi-cation important, but non-verbal communication plays avital role. Body language is impor-

tant in how people perceivean individual. The membersdiscussed how one needs tofollow these simple guide-lines: - Don’t cross your arms.

This makes one appear closedoff. Also keep your hands outof your pockets. - Maintain eye contact.

Look at the person who isspeaking and only look awayoccasionally to avoid staring.Smile. Smiling shows confi-dence. - Maintain good posture.

Good posture shows confi-dence. - Keep your back straight,

shoulders back, chest outand feet apart and don’t leanbecause it gives the appear-ance of being eager. After the program on lead-

ership, members noted up-coming events: - Extension Homemaker

Week will be next week. - The Twilight Walk will be

Once operational, local cannery stayed busyThere are probably

many people who still re-member the cannery thatused to be located in thebuilding behind the oldMarion High School. It first started in 1943,

during the middle of theSecond World War. I hadone person to tell me theyremembered, as a youngboy, catching catfish fromthe Ohio River, and after itwas cleaned and ready,their mother took the meatto the cannery to have itcanned. I guess most any-thing could be canned andat a low cost. It must havebeen much easier andfaster than doing it athome. From the archives of

The Crittenden Press, hereis some interesting infor-mation about this time inour history.

April 23, 1943Opportunity for community to

have canneryW.R. Winfrey said yes-

terday that the county hasan opportunity to secureequipment for a commu-nity cannery if sufficientinterest is manifested towarrant further procedureand details.Winfrey said, “If estab-

lished, this communitycannery could be used forany individuals who mightwish to use it for canningand processing foodswhich are difficult to pre-serve at home without spe-cial equipment so that theyretain the same qualityand flavor that you get incommercially cannedgoods.”If such a cannery is ob-

tained, you will be shownhow to prepare and canyour foods in the same wayand with the same kind ofequipment that commercialcanneries use. Or if prefer-able to have the workalone, there should bemany in this county whocould profit by such em-ployment.The capacity of the

equipment proposed will besufficient to can about1,000 quarts per day, nor-mally, but with differentshifts for rush season, itcould be greatly increased.Schedules can be arrangedin advance to accommo-

date a considerable num-ber of people each day, astheir products becomeready for canning. Theneeded 100 quarts-per-person can thus easily beprovided.Beans, corn, tomatoes,

tomato juice, youngchicken, beef liver andother similar foods canthus be preserved in first-class quality and quantitydesired in a very short timeand thus avoid many daysof drudgery required byhome methods and facili-ties which allow only a fewquarts at a time.Just consider canning

80 quarts of beans or cornin 33 minutes processingtime with steam pressurein comparison with eightor 10 canned in three orfour hours with open kettlemethods or even with pres-sure cookers of four or fivequarts at a time.Your own glass jars can

be used, but if you wish tobuy extra cans – somebeing available for use withthe equipment – some canbe procured. The cost ofprocessing, including fuel,water, skilled labor forsealing, controlling steampressure is approximately2 cents per quart.

April 30, 1943Twenty-five school dis-

tricts in the county haveexpressed a desire for es-tablishment of a commu-nity cannery, according toW.R. Winfrey. He also saidthat $2 from each persondesiring the establishmentwould be more than suffi-cient to install the canneryand make it available to allwho desire its use. Winfrey said it has been

estimated that CrittendenCounty spends throughcommercial channels be-tween $50,000 and$60,000 monthly forcanned foods and approxi-mately 90 percent goes out

of the county and possiblyout of the state to benefitpersons of other states.Many of the things that wecan and do produce herecan be utilized to thefullest extent for use of thelocal consuming public.A boiler is needed to es-

tablish the local centerhere and preparations arenow under way to securethe necessary equipment.Other equipment can behad without delay once theboiler can be had.It was first proposed to

place the cannery in a cen-tral location, but Winfreysaid he had received manyrequests for communityservice of the equipmentthat he had made prepara-tions to transport all butthe boiler facilities to anysection within short notice.He said that practicallyany type of heat would besufficient to generatesteam for processing.Some of the quickest

people to see the urgencyof arrangements for morefood to be prepared,processed and stored lo-cally are our merchants,who are receiving only one-third of orders placed. Thelocal county agent haslaunched the war food pro-gram with a slogan “Growyour own food,” as a chal-lenge to every family astheir contribution to thewar effort and further toensure the food that will beneeded here at home.

Aug. 27, 1943 The new cannery ready

for operation Facilities are available to

anyone at the rate of 2cents per can. Cans andother necessary items in-cluded and ready. Other necessary equip-

ment to begin canning hasarrived and is being con-nected in the large build-ing near the rear of thenew high school. (Thisbuilding is still standingtoday behind the old Mar-ion High School building.)A 15 hp steam boiler

has been provided to fur-nish the necessary steamfor processing cans ofmeat, fruits and vegetablesin accordance with themost modern recommenda-tion as to pressure and

temperature. Steam willfurnish a quick supply ofhot water when and whereneeded for blanching, pre-cooking, exhausting airfrom cans or any otheruses.The electric sealer can

place seals on the metalcans rapidly and with littleeffort on the part of indi-viduals using the machine.Families may furnish

their own labor for prepar-ing products for canning.The small fee – 2 cents aquart or can – charged forcanning is to pay for fuel,water, electricity and thenecessary cost of main-taining the equipment. Someone will be present

who is acquainted with theuse of the equipment andproper methods of prepar-ing foods for canning and

preserving them. All cansare to be sealed electricallywith skilled workmen tohandle the operation of thesealer.

Sept. 3, 1943The community cannery

opened Wednesday morn-ing and is now in dailyuse. The methods used atthe cannery would alleviatethe difficulty experiencedin keeping corn and toma-toes and invites all personsto make use of the estab-lishment and the methodsadopted.The community cannery

is kept busy day and nightpreserving and canningcorn and pumpkin. Peoplefrom all parts of the countyand many in Marion aremaking use of the projectand results are reported asexcellent.Over 4,000 cans of corn

and pumpkin had beencleaned, prepared,processed and canned byapproximately 100 fami-lies. In addition to the cornand pumpkin, manypounds of turnip greenshave been canned.There is accommodation

for all and work will notstop unless absolutely nec-

essary due to shortage ofseveral popular sizes ofcans. The cannery is equipped

with worktables, hot- andcold-water connections,steam for processing andautomatic and electricalsealing irons so that allwork is reduced to a mini-mum.In August 1947, the

cannery was open for threedays a week. During can-ning season this year, over850 families have used thefacilities of the cannery.Eighteen pints of jelly weremade in 30 minutes oneday and more than 2,000quarts of vegetables werealso canned. In July of 1951, the can-

nery was still open andrunning, still on the three-day week schedule.

***It seems like the com-

munity cannery was a goodthing for the whole county.

Cunningham

mains close to her heart. She’sconcerned about the commu-nity’s future and said youngpeople are not staying in thearea to make it their home anylonger.

She’s also concerned be-cause the post office is seen asthe hub of the community anddoesn’t want to see it close itsdoors for good as have severalother small post offices in theregion, including Tolu in 2011.To date, there hasn’t been anyofficial word the post office willbe shutting its doors perma-nently, but it will see a reduc-tion in its operating hours.

Beginning Oct. 18, Dycus-burg Post Office will see itswindow hours cut almost inhalf – down to 23 hours eachweek from the current 40.5hours. In just over two weeks,the window hours will be cutto 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. on week-days and 9 a.m. to noon onSaturday. Currently, the postoffice window remains avail-able weekday afternoons until4 p.m.

The lobby, however, will re-main open 24/7 for individu-als to pick up or drop off theirmail.

Susan Weaver, the post-master from Kuttawa, hasconfirmed she will be the in-terim postmaster for a coupleof weeks until a permanent in-dividual can fill the position.

“I’m hoping the post officewill be successful and can stayhere for many years,” Bannis-ter said, “because we have anolder group of citizens, andthey need it.”

Bannister said a normalday at the post office saw quitea bit of paperwork mixed withconversation with familiarfaces as they came to drop offor receive their mail. She de-scribed the work as occasion-ally hectic, but a really goodposition.

When asked about hermost memorable experience in30 years as postmaster, Ban-nister quickly recalls the ter-rorist attacks of 9/11. Shelistened to the news reportsabout the planes crashing intothe World Trade Center byradio and could only imagine

the devastation. “I think of all the things

that happened that reallymade an impression on me,”she said. “It was really fright-ening and horrible. They weredescribing everything that washappening. It was really bad.”

Her immediate plans for re-tirement include spendingtime with her family. She andher husband have two chil-dren – a son, John, and adaughter, Barbara. They alsohave five grandchildren andplan to enjoy attending manyof their sporting competitions.

Bannister hopes her per-manent successor will con-tinue the tradition of caringabout the office and the com-munity its serves.

“It’s been a wonderful 30years, and I’ve enjoyed work-ing for the postal service,”Bannister said. “They are goodpeople to work for. It’s been agood trip.”

Bebout out at CrayneLike Bannister, Bebout

would one day become thepostmaster of the communitywhere she was born andraised.

Since February 1983, Be-bout has been the postmaster

at Crayne. Before taking theposition, she worked at a bankin Fredonia.

“It’s really odd. The wayGail and I were hired is un-usual. The job came open tothe public. That doesn’t hap-pen now,” Bebout said aboutpostmaster positions. “At thattime, (Crayne) was a part-timepost office. In 1990, when theyremodeled the office, it went toa full-time office.”

Later this month, it will be-come a part-time office onceagain.

Just like Dycusburg’s postoffice, beginning Oct. 18, themailing center in Crayne willsee a stark reduction in itswindow hours – also down to23 hours from its 41.75 hours.The new hours will see thewindow open from noon to 4p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to11 a.m. on Saturday. Cur-

rently, the window is openeach weekday morning and af-ternoon for transactions.

Like Dycusburg to thesouth, the Crayne lobby willstill be accessible around theclock.

Kim Asbridge, who previ-ously was postmaster relief,has assumed the responsibili-ties of managing the post officeat Crayne.

In the last couple ofdecades, social media andemails have cut into the postalservice’s letter delivery, andthe Internet has given rise toonline bill payments, all cut-ting into the profits of thepostal service. However, bothBebout and Bannister said theamount of bulk and packagemail they have processed overthat same period has actuallyincreased due to online shop-ping. Additionally, USPS nowdelivers many packages forone of its competitors, UPS.

Much like its Dycusburgcounterpart, Crayne’s post of-fice is the hub of communityactivity. Bebout adds that itslocation on a busy U.S. 641 isenticing to many passersby –like vacationers passingthrough in the summertime –who make quick pit stops todrop off their mail, keepingvolume up at the post office.

In 1997, Bebout was the

recipient of the USPS Ben-jamin Franklin Award for cus-tomer service, the highestaward given by the postalservice. Her dedication to herwork reflected her love of thecommunity she served.

“I have loved my job, but Ilove the people more,” shesaid.

Bebout said some of hermost memorable experienceswhile postmaster have alsobeen tied to disasters – theJanuary 2000 tornado thatforever changed Crayne andthe 2009 ice storm that dis-rupted power for several days.

However, reflecting her pos-itive attitude, she also recallshappier events. Crayne Days,which originated at the postoffice, were held for 25 yearsand provided an opportunityfor the community to come to-gether each summer.

Bebout also has fond mem-ories of particular celebrationsas a new stamp was released.A stamp honoring veteranscalled for a community cele-bration where 15 men in theCrayne community, some ofwhom were World War II vet-erans, were honored.

Although she and her hus-band, Danny, now live in Ed-dyville, Bebout still refers toCrayne as home and attendsnearby Mexico Baptist

Church. In addition to spend-ing time with her children, in-cluding a son, Todd, and adaughter, Kayla, she alsoplans to spend quality time asa grandmother.

She also wants to use herfree time to help others.

“I want to do for others.There are opportunities to dothings for others that I haven’talways had the time to do,”she said.

Bebout is also looking for-ward to life’s simple pleasures,such as a bicycle ride or an af-ternoon stroll.

As she reflects on the officeand position she held for al-most 32 years, Bebout recallsthe little general store that alsohoused a small post office shefrequented as a child.

“As a kid growing up, I’dcome up here and get my mailand get a Coke and peanuts atthe same time,” she said,adding that both she and Ban-nister were lucky to have suchgood careers in their respec-tive hometowns.

“We were both born andraised in the communities inwhich we became postmas-ters. People don’t just win thelottery. That’s a God-thing,”she said. “That was part ofGod’s plan for my life. I reallyand truly believe it with all myheart.”

When Crayne Post Office was remodeled in 1990, the station thatRose Ann Bebout used to work at was incorporated as a wall dis-play to keep a part of the mail center’s history alive. After morethan 30 years, Bebout retired as Crayne Postmaster on Tuesday.

In the first video takenfrom a camera at Marion CityHall, the two vehicles can beseen pulling out of East DepotStreet onto Main Street andheading south. The flatbedclearly does not have cargo atthe time.

The later two video clips,from security cameras at theintersection of Main and Bel-lville streets, shows the two

vehicles passing through thetraffic light at Five Star FoodMart a bit after 2 a.m., thattime with large wooden boxeson the back of the flatbed.

Investigators think thewooden boxes are full of cop-per wire worth thousands ofdollars that was taken fromthe recycling center. Burglarscut a hole in the side of thebuilding to gain entrance andused equipment at the centerto load the heavy boxes ofwire.

Sheriff Agent thinks sus-pects in the black truck wereacting as a watch-out for theburglar or burglars who en-tered the building.

STAFF REPORT

Leo McMillen has only 3.1.miles to go and he will havecovered the entire state.

For the past 14 years,McMillen has been runningacross Kentucky – literally – 5kilometers at a time. He hasused a love of jogging to seethe whole commonwealth,one county at a time. His tripwill end Sunday in Marionwhen McMillen runs in theFurry 5K race at the park tobenefit the Mary Hall Ruddi-man Canine Shelter.

He has already partici-pated in such races in 119 ofKentucky's counties, and hehas a shirt from each one ofthem to prove it.

McMillen and 15 of hisbuddies from Lexington havepre-registered for the annualfundraising race. They heardabout it online and McMillenjumped at the chance to fin-ish up his unique collectionof T-shirts.

He didn’t originally set outto run in all of Kentucky’scounties, but in about 2000,he started looking at all theplaces he had run and said tohimself, "Why not?"

At 77, the retired directorof Streets, Roads andForestry for the city of Lexing-ton isn't necessarily in it towin it. He's like most of thethousands of running enthu-siasts who lineup in commu-nities every weekend to testtheir stamina and stay fit. Hebegan running in 1982, andlike most others who did,McMillen has found reward-ing fellowship through run-ning.

“When I started looking atthe counties I’d run, I kept amap and realized I was prettyclose to running in everycounty so I started keepingtrack,” McMillen said. “I hadeverything in eastern Ken-tucky but didn’t have a lot inwestern Kentucky.

“A couple of friends ofmine run together and westarted looking for info onwestern Kentucky and work-ing on that.”

Three weeks ago hemarked their 119th countyoff of the list when he andsome friends ran in BallardCounty’s Harvest Festival.

As far as he knows, he willbe the first Kentuckian to run

organized races in eachcounty in the state. Has herun his way into the Guin-ness Book for World Records?

He and the rest of his creware going out in grandiosestyle for the grand finale.They've rented a small partybus for the long haul to Mar-ion Sunday. Get on yourmark!

By JASON TRAVISSTAFF WRITER

A new kindergartenteacher has been hired atCrittenden County Elemen-tary School.

Lyon County native Lind-sey Bridges was introducedto kindergarten classes onMonday.

The school has used thisweek as a transition week tointroduce Bridges toboth students andtheir parents. Theschool will then offi-cially implement itsfifth kindergartenclass beginning nextweek.

Bridges will have21 students in herclass. The addition ofthe extra kinder-garten class was needed toreduce the student-teacherratio and bring kindergartenclass sizes below the staterecommended cap of 24 stu-dents. A bump in student en-rollment since school beganincreased class sizes to 26students.

A 2008 graduate of LyonCounty High School, Bridgesattended Lindsey Wilson Col-lege in Columbia, Ky., whereshe received her degree in el-ementary education. Her stu-dent teaching experience

includes teaching kinder-garten eight weeks atJamestown Elementary inRussell County and sevenweeks student teachingfourth-grade reading at JohnAdair Elementary in Colum-bia.

Bridges also spent time asa substitute teacher. Shesubstituted 11 weeks at LyonCounty Middle School during

a maternity leave andtaught first grade forfour weeks.

Before coming toCCES, she was em-ployed as an EarlyHead Start teacherbeginning in Augustat Lyon County.

Bridges is excitedabout the opportunityto teach at the local

elementary school. Kinder-garten is her favorite gradelevel to teach.

“I think the whole aspectof teaching kindergarten isexciting because the stu-dents are like little sponges.They just soak up everythingyou say,” Bridges said. “Atsuch a young age, they areexcited to learn. Learning canbe so much fun.”

When the decision wasmade to add a fifth kinder-garten class, some parents inthe community expressed

concern that their childmight be pulled from theirclass where they are familiarwith both the teacher and fel-low students. Bridges saidshe understands those con-cerns and wants to do herbest to provide a smoothtransition for each of her stu-dents.

“I completely understandwhy parents are concernedabout that,” she said. “But Ithink as far as their child’seducation, this is going to befor the best. I plan on doingeverything I can to make thekids feel at home and parentsfeel confident that I will lovetheir child and do what’s bestfor them.”

As a resident of LyonCounty, Bridges also realizesparents don’t know her, buthopes that will changequickly.

Parents of students whowill transition to the newclass will have the opportu-nity to meet with Bridges anddiscuss their child’s needsand educational experience.The meeting will take placefrom 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. today(Thursday) at the school. Allparents whose children aretransitioning to the newkindergarten class are en-couraged to attend the meet-ing.

STAFF REPORT

GREENVILLE, Ky. – De-spite piling up 280 passingyards Friday, CrittendenCounty was unable to pulloff a win against Class 6AMuhlenberg County, largelybecause it failed to take careof what Coach Al Starnescalled “the little things.”

The Mustangs (4-2) pre-vailed 28-14 for a home-coming win, but Crittenden(3-2) kept it interesting untillate in the fourth period.

“We had opportunities, wejust blew those opportuni-ties. It’s our job as coachesto figure it out and makesure we do the little thingsright. We’re going to chal-lenge our kids to come outwith more emotion thisweek and we’ll see whathappens.”

The Rockets play another6A school Friday as theytravel to Marshall County(1-4). The Marshals haveplayed a much more diffi-cult schedule, though.

At Muhlenberg, Rocketquarterback Nick Castillerwas within three comple-tions of the school passingrecord and he tied theteam's mark for most at-tempts.

Sophomore Ethan Huntcaught five balls for a carer-best 111 yards receiving,and Dylan Hollis had 88through the air.

Starnes praised thoseperformances and namedCastiller and Hunt the PizzaHut Offensive Players of theGame.

Crittenden’s passinggame was a double edgedsword; however, as two in-terceptions deep in Mustangterritory helped the hometeam escape with the win.

Starnes said a couple ofsmall mistakes on bothpasses made a big differ-ence.

“We are not doing the lit-tle things that we need to bedoing that will help us winballgames,” Starnes ex-plained.

“I am pleased with the ef-fort. I think we are playinghard, we’re just not doingsome of the little thingswe’re coached to do. If we dothose things I think we havea better chance to win ballgames. We just can’t keepmaking those little mistakesover and over again.”

Castiller was picked off inthe end zone and at theMuhlenberg 20 which

spoiled an otherwise break-out performance by the jun-ior quarterback.

Starnes said Castillercontinues to improve andthat the Rocket junior andfirst-year starting quarter-back had never been in asituation where the teamwas relying so heavily onthe pass.

The Rockets had tried tomove the ball on the groundearly in the game, but Muh-lenberg's defense stoodfirm, led by hulking noseguard Zeke Merritt.

CCHS running back LaneWallace, hampered by achronic shoulder injury,didn't play much on offense,and by game's end twoother Rocket starters wereon the sideline with ankleissues, including backuptailback Maeson Myers.

“Wallace has emerged asthe team leader, but he has-n’t been out there a lot be-cause he’s been hurt,”Starnes said.

A persistent shoulder in-jury has limited the senior’splaying time the past threeweeks. Starnes said histeam needs to find a way toget excited when it makesbig plays. Wallace is aplayer who helps incite thattype of emotion when he’s inthe game.

“I want us to show excite-ment. That’s probably themost disappointing thing sofar. When we were in theballgame, 14-7, and got abig defensive play behindthe line of scrimmage. weshowed absolutely no emo-

tion. There were no highfives or jumping around,”the coach said.

“Excitement breeds ex-citement and that is nothappening out there,”Starnes added.

Short handed in the back-field with Wallace andMyers on the shelf, Critten-den spread the field andstarted moving the chainsvia the air. The Rockets hadpulled to within 14-7 in thesecond period, but Muhlen-berg answered with 69-yardreverse play to lead by twotouchdowns at the break.

The second half largelybelonged to the Rockets asthey heaped up passingyards, but the interceptionin the MCHS end zone anda fake punt pass that failedin Mustang territory allowedthe hosts to keep things incheck.

Crittenden’s Travis McK-inney was Lineman of theWeek for the fifth time. Hehad eight solo tackles.Travis Fitzgerald was Defen-sive Player of the Game withseven solos.

Starnes was very pleasedwith those efforts.

aged to visit the Kentucky Depart-ment of Fish and WildlifeResources' website for importantupdates to the 2014-15 KentuckyHunting and Trapping Guide. Theprinted version of the guide has in-correct information as notedbelow:•Tradewater Wildlife ManagementArea (WMA) and Pennyrile StateForest were incorrectly labeled asopen for the muzzleloader deerseasons in a chart on Page 29 ofthe printed guide. Those seasonsare closed on both properties. TheTradewater WMA is not to be con-fused with Big Rivers WMA in Crit-tenden and Union counties, whichalso prohibits muzzleloader hunt-ing.•Crossbow hunting for deer is notallowed on Higginson-HenryWMA, except during youth week-ends or for persons with a validhunting method exemption permit.A chart on Page 30 of the printedguide omitted those exceptions.

STAFF REPORT

When Lauren Gilchrist grows up, shewants to be a marine biologist. But there’salso a dream of playing professional golf.

Gilchrist completed a school assignmentrecently which required her to draw symbolsillustrating her future. Among her drawingswere a dolphin and the LPGA logo. That’s forLadies Professional Golf Association.

“I never knew that was one of her aspira-tions,” said Lauren’s mother Alison.

Mom might well get ready for a whole lotmore golf because at age 12, young Lauren isalready consistently breaking the 100 bar-rier on the scorecard. That’s pretty signifi-cant because many observers will tell youthat a young woman who, at that age, shootsunder the century mark with regularity canprobably land a college scholarship some-where. And with five years to go at Critten-den County, Gilchrist’s future looks verybright.

On Monday, the seventh grader shot a 96at the First Region Girls’ Golf Tournament atThe Silos Golf Course in West Paducah. Herround was good enough to finish 26th over-all and seventh among girls playing as indi-

viduals and not with a team. The region’swinning score was 71.

Gilchrist won the Class A Second RegionTournament earlier this year with a 90, herbest 18-hole round of the season. She shot a38 in a 9-hole match at Marion this season.

Gilchrist has been on the high school golfteam since she was in fifth grade, but this isher first time to really feel as though she’sbeen part of the mix. Her goal for next fall isto break into the 80s on a consistent basis.She will work toward that by playing a regu-lar schedule of summer league tournamentsand practice, practice, practice.

Watson leads boys at First Region matchColby Watson led the Rocket male golfers

during Tuesday’s First Region match at Mur-ray Country Club. Watson shot a 12-over-par 84 for 33rd place. The Rockets were 10thout of a dozen teams at the tournament.

Lyon County’s Cullan Brown shot 1-underand won a three-way playoff for the title.

For Crittenden, Cole Foster came in at 90,and Reid Baker and Will Tolley shot 96s.

Livingston Central’s Jacob Belt of Burnashot a 90 and Darit Barnes of Salem finishedat 104.

plained.The club wasn’t as successful in other outings over the past week or

so, losing to Union County, Webster County and Trigg County.Crittenden has just three more matches this season. The girls close
