A fun day in the sun turned tragic Saturday as a 21-year-old man drowned at the Kuttawa Beach and Recreational Area on Lake Barkley during a fi eld trip.

Sgt. Denny Broyles of Ken-

tucky Fish and Wildlife said a by-stander at the beach area found the submerged body of Benson Beauchamp, of Tamarack, Fla., and brought him to shore. One of Beauchamp’s fellow students from the Kentucky Job Corps in Muhlenburg County attempted to

administer CPR, but to no avail.Lyon County coroner Ronnie

Patton declared Beauchamp dead at 6:20 p.m. of a presumed drown-ing. Patton said there was nothing unusual about the cause of death.

Broyles said Beauchamp was attending a fi eld trip to the Kut-

tawa Recreational Area with the group of students from the job corps. As members of the group were boarding their buses to leave at 5:30 p.m., they noticed Beauchamp was missing and sent members out to different parts of the park to locate him.

Donnie Hamblin, of Princ-eton, was at the beach area with his children and had overheard a group of teenagers mention feel-ing something beneath the wa-ter earlier that afternoon. When

When most people see a 100-foot-long wall that needs to be painted, they immediately become overwhelmed. Lower Town artist Char Downs became inspired.

“We were originally supposed to work with 30 feet,” Downs said. “But I saw the wall and saw there was so much great space to

work with, so I researched and put in everything I could.”

Downs was commissioned to paint the long mural through the month of July by the LexArts pro-gram, and will begin the fi rst 30-foot section in Lexington this week. Her art will be featured on the wall of the historic Hurst Furniture store at Elm Tree and Short streets.

The picture pays homage to

Kentucky’s horse racing past and present, spanning the 200-year history of the Kentucky Associa-tion, the region’s fi rst jockey club. Along with horses racing through the scene, Downs prominently features riding boots, an active race, the famed “silk purse” won by the best jockey and, of course,

Lower Town artist Char Downs examines her plans for a 100-foot mural in Lex-ington that will be painted throughout July. Downs was chosen from 100 artists who submitted plans and will begin work on the mural this week.

“Working with murals just takes the right training and the right tools. It’s very cool to see people get creative and learn the process.”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — As the miles melted between Atlantis and the International Space Station, the emotions grew — in orbit and on the ground.

At Mission Control on Sunday, lead fl ight director Kwatsi Alibaruho declared “this is it” as he gave the OK for the fi nal docking in space shuttle history. Flashbacks to the shuttle’s very fi rst space station docking — with Russia’s Mir in 1995 — fl ooded his mind as viewed the shuttle on the screens. He was a NASA trainee back then.

Space Shuttle Atlantis docks at the Interna-tional Space Station on Sunday. Atlantis is deliv-ering more than 4 tons of food, clothes and other space station provisions — an entire year’s worth, in fact, to keep the complex going in the looming post-shuttle era. Atlantis’ journey marks the final shuttle mission by NASA.

Excessive heat advisory

High temperatures and hu-midity warranted meteorolo-gists to issue an excessive heat warning until midnight tonight. The National Weather Service in Paducah released the advi-sory which begins at 11 a.m.

Heat index readings will be between 110 to 115 degrees, ac-cording to Robin Smith. Smith,

NWS meteorologist, said even though the more intense advi-sory will expire by 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, a general heat advi-

sory continues into the day and evening. Daytime temperatures will be between 95 and 100 degrees. According to Smith,

overnight temperatures will provide little relief, hovering in the upper 70s to mid-80s.

Those who don’t have to be outside shouldn’t be, he said. Smith recommended continu-ous hydration for those who work outdoors. The old, young and those with health problems need the most attention, he

Three years ago, the founding members of the Paducah Arts Alliance brainstormed about how to make Paducah a stop for artists around the country.

“We are kind of far away from the big cities,” said Freda Fairch-ild, one of the founding members of the alliance. “So we started to brainstorm about how to get peo-ple here. We realized we could just fi nd a place to put them up and do it ourselves. That’s how it all started.”

The group’s brainchild, the Artist in Residency program, brings artists from across the na-tion and overseas to Paducah to work on their craft and give talks and workshops to the communi-ty. In three years, 23 artists have

participated, coming from as far away as France and Austria.

“It really gets you away from home, away from distrac-tions,” said Jamie Spinello, an artist from Austin, Texas, who is in residency at A.I.R. Studio.”Removing yourself from your natural environment helps you further yourself.”

A.I.R. Studio, 621 Madison St., includes workspace and a small gallery, as well as an effi ciency apartment for residents. Artists spend anywhere from a week to a month working in Paducah, but are also required to do some community outreach, which can include workshops or lectures, or exhibiting at the gallery.

“The energy they bring to the area is fantastic,” said Lily Liu, local artist and PAA member.

“The interaction we get as artists is really special.”

Spinello, who works with jew-elry and also does three-dimen-sional paper art, has been work-ing at the studio for 10 days, and has started a new piece featuring fl owers and hands during her time in Paducah. She is working alongside Kristen Van Patten, an artist also from Austin who draws and designs sculptures as well.

The alliance has also part-nered with the Yeiser Art Cen-ter, which will allow residency artists to give their workshops in a larger space, and to exhibit their art when they are in town.

Spinello and Van Patten will have an exhibition at Studio Mars, 418 N. Seventh St., from 6-8 p.m. today.

FRANKFORT — Alliance Coal employees were among the biggest donors in Kentucky’s primary elec-tion campaign, according to a newspaper report.

The Courier-Journal re-viewed campaign contribu-tions that candidates fi led with the Kentucky Registry of Election Finance and found that 10 employees of Alliance, along with their spouses, donated a total of $60,000 to three candi-dates: Democrat Alison Lun-dergan Grimes for secretary of state; Republican Todd P’Pool for attorney general; and Republican David Wil-liams for governor.

Cason P. Carter, a spokes-man for Alliance, said it is up to employees whether to be politically active.

The campaigns said they

believe the candidates re-ceived the contributions because of their support for the coal industry.

State government closely regulates the environmen-tal impact and safety of coal mining.

The newspaper reviewed contributions to candidates running for statewide of-fi ce since November’s gen-eral election. It found that the contributions, which were

given to the candidates be-tween early March and early May, put Alliance employees in the company of wealthy businessmen and party activ-ists. Only four other couples gave more to the candidates, according to the review.

It was the fi rst time half of the couples had given more than $100 to a candi-date for state offi ce, accord-ing a Kentucky Registry of Election Finance database.

Associated PressELIZABETHTOWN — An Eliz-

abethtown woman wants to help comfort victims of a tornado that ripped apart much of Joplin, Mo.

To do so, Becky Meredith hopes to send the embat-tled town about 300 teddy bears.

“You still hear stories on the TV where people are still without their homes and children are still without some type of comfort, so I’m hoping a bear would bring some hope to them,” she said. “It’s something to hold on to when everything else seems to be falling apart.”

The effort isn’t that un-usual for Meredith, who in October started a chapter of Hugs Across America, a nonprofi t organization that donates stuffed animals to children in crisis situations.

Her chapter is named Kelsey Heartland Hugs in honor of Kelsey Briggs, who died of injuries from child abuse in 2005.

Meredith developed con-tact with the girl’s family and

began collecting bears to give to children who need emotional support, such as those dealing with ill-ness and abuse, and or-ganizations that support those children.

Becky Meredith of Elizabethtown, sits among some of the 300 teddy bears she hopes to send to victims of the tornado that ripped apart much of Joplin, Mo., in June.

Police arrested a Paducah woman Saturday in con-nection with the theft of several items from a purse.

McCracken County Sher-iff’s deputies began investi-gating the thefts after Alis-sa Lewis, 27, of Paducah contacted police at approx-

imately 7:45 p.m. Saturday, reported Sgt. David Shep-herd. Lewis told police she believed items were taken from her purse after she gave a ride to Cynthia Cun-ningham, 46, of Paducah and another woman. Police interviewed both women

and searched Cunning-ham’s residence on Key Drive, fi nding the majority of the stolen items, Shep-herd reported.

Police believe that Cun-ningham had taken the items and further attempt-ed to tamper with evidence

related to the crimes, Shepherd reported. Po-lice charged Cunningham with theft of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence and un-lawful taking (pick pocket). Cunningham was jailed in the McCracken County Jail.

Casey Anthony killed her daughter. She may not have meant to, and she may have been much more interested in her own social life than in her daughter’s well-being, but I have absolutely no doubt that she was responsible for her daughter’s death.

So why was she acquit-ted? Could it really be a case of it is better to be rich (or at least enough of a celebrity to be well-repre-sented) and guilty than poor and inno-cent, as so many of my students think? The short answer is sometimes. The long answer is that it depends as much on the skill and judgment of the prosecutors as it does on the defense.

If you want to be God, I always tell my students, go be a prosecutor. I’d like to believe that God is infallible, but I know for a fact that prosecutors aren’t.

There is an old joke prosecutors tell each other about how convicting a guilty person is no great accomplishment. It’s convicting someone who is not guilty that is the real challenge.

Anthony is as guilty of killing her child as O.J. Simpson was of killing his former wife and Ron Goldman. He got off — as did Anthony — because he is a celebrity (and because of the animosity among minority jurors toward the LAPD) and because celebrities are not always favored by the system.

The danger when you represent a ce-lebrity is not that he will be treated with white gloves, but rather that prosecutors (either because they love the publicity or because they fear the pressure it brings) will go too far too fast to overcharge and overprosecute precisely because of the publicity.

The Anthony case was based entirely on circumstantial evidence. There was no real forensic proof, no cause of death, no damning DNA. The defendant was the mother of the victim — which in many ways makes the crime worse. But it also makes it even more critical, and more important, to have evidence of pur-poseful intent. Ditto for husbands and ex-husbands and wives and ex-wives who kill their spouses.

In all of these cases, it is far easier to con-clude that the defendant caused the death — that he or she was the only person with the opportu-nity and motive — than it is to prove that they did so with malice afore-thought, in a premeditat-ed and purposeful way, which is what is required

in a fi rst-degree murder case. Reasonable doubt has a different meaning when it’s a life-or-death decision.

Forgive me the pedestrian analogy, but I think the easiest way to grasp this may be by thinking about shopping. You go to the department store and try on a jacket. The tag tells you it’s 70 percent off. I love it, you say, and you do. For $50, it’s spec-tacular. For half off, you love it almost as much. At full price, even a minor fl aw — a missing button, a pulled thread — is enough to end the love affair. Reasonable doubt is equally fl exible.

Had the jury been asked whether Anthony was guilty of voluntary man-slaughter, I think they would have been able to conclude that she was, beyond a reasonable doubt. Had O.J. Simpson been charged, as most ex-wife killers are, with either second-degree murder or voluntary manslaughter, I’d like to think he would have been convicted.

The irony is that most men who kill their former wives (and even innocent bystanders) in a fi t of jealous rage serve about seven years in prison — which is less than the sentence meted out to Simpson for what otherwise would be a rather minor offense. Simpson was Caponed.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Justice is very rough, but if I were Casey Anthony (and to be honest, she is one woman I can’t even imagine being), I’d watch my step from here on, very, very carefully. She may have gotten away with murder, but she won’t get away the next time.

Justice may not be blind, and some-times it seems to be deaf and dumb, but rough justice can be very rough on those who get away with murder.

5.1, 9.3, 8.1, 8.5, 8, 7.1 and 3.9.

While that might sound like a controversial series of Olympic curling scores, these numbers in fact add up to a grave problem for Barack Obama.

They are the quarterly percentage gains in gross domestic product starting in 1983 through to Election Day 1984. And they aren’t the only signifi -cant numbers. In 1984, real income for individuals grew by more than 6 percent and infl ation plummeted.

The unemployment rate in November 1984 was still 7.2 percent — relatively high — but it had dropped from 10.8 percent in December 1982, and it was clear the mo-mentum was for even lower unemployment. “Staying the course” with Ronald Reagan made sense to most people, which is why he won re-election in a 49-state landslide.

Sadly for Obama — but far worse for the country — that kind of growth seems like a pipe dream. Last month, the Federal Reserve lowered its forecast for 2011 GDP growth from a range of 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent, made just two months earlier, to a much slower 2.7 percent to 2.9 percent. And it revised downward its projections for 2012 and 2013 as well.

For Democrats who insist that James Carville’s mantra “It’s the economy, stupid” is the key to unlocking any election, these numbers couldn’t be more sobering. But for the Democrats and liberal pundits who’ve spent the last two years looking to Reagan for inspiration, the data should have the same sobering effect as being thwacked in the face with a semi-frozen fl ounder.

You don’t hear much about it now, but not long ago the White House was taking a lot of comfort in the Reagan example. Ac-cording to a Time cover story, “Why Obama (Hearts) Reagan,” the president was fi xated with emulating the Gipper. He quizzed historians about him. He took a Reagan biography with him for his Christmas vaca-tion. He even wrote a glowing op-ed about Reagan for USA Today.

As the November elections approached, White House strategists and liberal writers spun the Reagan precedent as a reason to remain optimistic about Obama’s re-election chances. Reagan had lost 26 House seats (and zero in the Senate) in his fi rst midterm elections yet went on to win re-election handily. Liberal writers such as The New Republic’s John Judis insisted Obama could limit his losses by emulating Reagan’s communications strategy.

Reportedly, Obama’s speechwriters even studied Reagan’s speeches for tips on how

to frame the choice. They concluded, since Reagan blamed Jimmy Carter for the country’s problems, Obama should do likewise with Bush. Reagan said Americans faced a choice between “going back” to the old policies and press-ing ahead with new ones.

Obama parroted the same line: “This is a choice

between the policies that led us into the mess, or the policies that are leading out of the mess,” Obama said in a campaign ap-pearance for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “America doesn’t go backwards, we go forward.”

Such “Reaganesque” rhetoric didn’t save Democrats from a “shellacking” (to borrow Obama’s word) at the polls (though in a de-cidedly mixed blessing the Democrats did hold on to Reid’s seat). Obama lost more than twice as many seats in the House (63) as Reagan did and six in the Senate.

Obama explained away the electoral re-buke not on his policies but on his inability to communicate the truth to the public. It’s funny how the supposedly greatest com-municator since Reagan is always suffering from a communications problem.

And this points to the real reason why the Reagan parallel just doesn’t work. As much as it may annoy Obama and his supporters to hear it, the reason why Reagan’s rhetoric was effective is that voters believed it was matched to successful policies. Meanwhile many of Obama’s top priorities — health care reform, green energy, etc. — have had, at best, a tangential connection to the eco-nomic recovery and arguably, as in the case of energy, they’ve made things worse.

Political scientist Brendan Nyhan has rightly pointed out that even Reagan’s com-munications strategy didn’t improve media coverage or his standing in public opinion polls. Reagan’s popularity recovered with the economic recovery. (The media cover-age, however, remained relentlessly hostile until a few years ago.)

In recent weeks, it seems that the White House has discovered that, barring an entirely unforeseen economic boom, the Reagan analogy is a non-starter for them. That spells an ironic challenge for Obama, because it probably means that he will have to run a base election whereby he galvaniz-es his core supporters and hopes red meat and turnout numbers will save him.

In short, it means the president will be emulating George W. Bush’s re-election strategy even as he pins all his problems on George W. Bush.

A favorite, but unproven, argument of union bosses is that government regula-tions favoring them result in higher-quali-ty buildings and safer working conditions.

Such claims are being echoed – again, without proof – by Kentucky congress-man Ed Whitfi eld.

Many readers shared my surprise in discovering last week that the Hopkins-ville Republican voted to give the federal government the option of forcing non-union contractors to sign Project Labor Agreements on large military construc-tion projects.

Government-mandated PLAs force contractors who want to win federal con-struction contracts to:

— Recognize unions as the representa-tives of their employees on that job site.

— Use the union hiring hall to obtain most, if not all, of their workers.

— Pay into pension and benefi t plans even if contractors have their own plans.

— Obtain apprentices only through union programs.

— Obey restrictive and ineffi cient union work rules.

But the surprise doubled when I re-ceived the e-mail response to my request

for a stattement explaining the congress-man’s vote.

Press secretary Robert Sumner says his boss believes it’s “important that all workers have the best possible working conditions, and that on public works projects funded by the taxpay-ers, everything possible must be done to ensure a highly skilled, effi -cient workforce that can deliver projects on time and within budget.”

Talk about a slap in the face of Kentucky’s nonunion contractors. Ouch.

Suggesting the government needs to “have the option” of forcing union-like rules on contractors appallingly in-sinuates that those who build our offi ces, homes, investment properties and manu-facturing facilities somehow or other do inferior work and cannot deliver.

Between the time President George W. Bush signed executive orders in 2001 protecting federally funded construction projects from PLAs and when President Obama signed his executive order in 2009

urging federal agencies to consider man-dating PLAs, thousands of large federal projects – totaling more than $147 billion were built.

In a letter to Whitfi eld, the Associated Builders and Contractors of Kentuckiana point out that these projects, “despite the outright prohibition of government-man-dated PLAs on any large (projects exceed-ing $25 million in total cost) or small federal construction projects, have been built safely, on-time and on-budget.”

Even Kentucky’s school superinten-dents know that coercive union-favoring regulations are not magic bullets for higher quality projects.

A survey by the Kentucky Legislative Research Commission a few years back found that only 4 percent of the com-monwealth’s 176 school superintendents believed requiring prevailing wages rates on school construction projects – another union-friendly govenrment mandate – results in “discernible, higher quality.”

Forced PLAs also could have real eco-nomic impact on private contractors in Kentucky, where construction has been occurring at fever pitch at military institu-tions. According to the Fort Knox Public Relations Offi ce, around $1 billion worth

of construction occurred on-post since the Base Realignment and Closure process began six years ago.

The naïveté continues: “Rep. Whitfi eld does not believe (PLAs) should be re-quired in all circumstances. … This action … will preserve the option for the use of PLAs, without mandating their use.”

Seriously!I wonder what kind of “circumstances”

the congressman envisions that would result in any agency head that serves at the pleasure of the Obama administra-tion, which rode to power on the backs of labor unions, not mandating the use of PLAs – especially in light of the re-election campaign. We’re talking here about military construction projects of at least $25 million, which means lots of loot fi nding its way into campaign coffers.

Finally: “Rep. Whitfi eld believes that is a balanced approach that will work in the taxpayers’ interest.”

But, as typically happens when govern-ment attempts to determine what’s “fair” and “balanced,” neither usually occurs.

— Jim Waters is vice president of policy and communications for the Blue-grass Institute, Kentucky’s free-market think tank.

Project labor agreements are neither fair nor balanced

Art submitted

A mural designed by Char Downs for a 100-foot-long wall in Lexington depicts the 200-year history of the Kentucky Association, the region’s first jockey club.

Kentucky Bluegrass.“I went through books

and made sure I knew all of the images that could go along with the idea I had,” Downs said. “Then as I painted and as I mapped out the space, I started re-ally seeing what fi t and what didn’t. I worked it down from 40 images to what is on the mural.”

After submitting her work earlier this year, Downs was selected out of 100 artist proposals, which were nar-rowed to three fi nalists. She will also team with fellow artist Teresa Perry to teach workshops and mechanics lessons focusing on large pieces. The workshops will begin this week. Volunteers and participants will also get to design the last 10 feet of the mural, which Downs left blank.

“Working with murals just takes the right training and the right tools,” Downs said. “It’s very cool to see people get creative and learn the process.”

The fi rst section of the

mural is estimated to be fi nished by Aug. 15. Downs will spend her fi rst few days gridding out the project, then painting with volun-teers. She hopes the second and third sections will be

completed in the next cou-ple summers.

“I’m so excited,” she said. “I have barely gotten to sleep this whole week. My brain is going a thousand miles a minute with my plans.”

MURAL: Downs was selected out of 100 proposals, which were narrowed to 3 finalists

the station’s naval bell chimed a salute — one of many landmarks, or rather spacemarks, of this fi nal two-week shut-tle mission that are being savored one by one.

“Atlantis arriving,” called out space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. “Welcome to the In-ternational Space Station for the last time.”

“And it’s great to be here,” replied shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson.

Cries of joy and laugh-ter fi lled the connected vessels once the hatches swung open and the two crews — 10 space fl iers altogether representing three countries — ex-changed hugs, hand-shakes and kisses on the cheek. Cameras fl oated everywhere, recording every moment of the last-of-its-kind festivities.

Atlantis, carrying a year’s worth of supplies, is being retired after this fl ight, the last of the 30-year shuttle program.

“I won’t say that I got close to welling up in the eyes, but I will say that it was a powerful moment for me,” Alibaruho later told reporters. He tried to keep his feelings discreet so as not to distract his team of fl ight controllers, but said, “I know they were all feeling very simi-lar emotions, thinking about where we’ve come from, how much we’ve accomplished ... what’s coming next.”

Alibaruho said the mo-ment was also power-ful for the 10 people in space for the docking: six Americans, three Rus-sians and one Japanese.

“You could sense a pal-pable increase in emo-tion from all of the crew members, not just our U.S. astronauts,” he said. “They were extremely happy and really elated to see their visitors, and I know that they really recognize and appreciate the signifi cance of these moments.”

A computer failure

aboard Atlantis took away some of the redun-dancy desired for the rendezvous, but did not hamper the operation.

Within a few hours, though, news came that NASA was monitoring a piece of space junk that could come dangerous-ly close to the orbiting shuttle-station complex on Tuesday — right in the middle of a spacewalk.

Mission management team chairman LeRoy Cain stressed it was still too soon to know wheth-er the unidentifi ed object would truly pose a threat, and that a decision would be made today as to whether the linked spacecraft would have to move out of harm’s way. The size of the object was not immediately known.

This was the 46th dock-ing by a space shuttle to a space station.

Nine of those were to Mir back in the 1990s, with Atlantis making the very fi rst. The U.S. and Russia built on that sometimes precarious experience to create, along with a dozen oth-er nations, the world’s largest spacecraft ever: the permanently inhab-ited, fi nally completed, 12½-year-old Interna-tional Space Station.

This time, Atlantis is delivering more than 5 tons of food, clothes and other space station provi-sions — an entire year’s worth, in fact, to keep the complex going in the looming post-shuttle era.

The shuttle astronauts quickly handed over a bag of groceries loaded with fresh fruit and promised the station residents some extra jars of peanut butter. “Outstanding,” said inhab-itant Michael Fossum.

job corps members told Hamblin their friend was missing, Hamblin began searching the water and found Beauchamp’s body.

“The members of the group had been swim-ming in the swimming area earlier in the day,” Broyles said. “I don’t know if he went under and no one saw him go under or what the circumstances

are. We’re still uncertain about the events that led up to the drowning.”

Broyles added that no foul play is suspected and that any investigation into the death is on hold, pend-ing results from an autop-sy. Patton said the autopsy will be performed at the medical examiner’s offi ce in Louisville, since the re-gional medical examiner’s offi ce in Madisonville is temporarily closed.

said. Those out on the lakes must be mindful of fl uid in-take and breaks in the shade, since they won’t be near health professionals.

“The problem is, with the high heat and humidity, you’ll easily get sunburned,” Smith said. “Heaven forbid if they’re out there drinking, you overheat, dehydration. ... Caffeine will do that, too.”

Robert Jones is a physi-cian assistant at Lourdes hospital. He said most people know to drink fl uids and stay indoors, but they often don’t drink enough.

“We encourage people to drink at least a half a gallon of fl uids an hour, especially if they’re doing any kind of exertion,” Jones said.

Most often, health profes-sionals see symptoms of heat exhaustion before the more serious cases of heat stroke. Symptoms of heat exhaus-tion include fl ushed skin, feeling nauseated and feeling light-headed. Roberts said when people experience those symptoms they should imme-diately get out of the sun and seek medical attention.

For those far from hos-pitals and doctors, Roberts recommended sitting down in shade and drinking cold

drinks to lower the body temperature. If a person stops sweating, it’s an indi-cator of heat stroke, which is a more serious emergen-

cy, according to Roberts.Smith said showers and

thunderstorms later in the week won’t lower tempera-tures very much, if at all.

This is the fi rst excessive heat advisory for the sum-mer. Smith said it’s to be ex-pected as July is usually the hottest month for the region.

Barry Lynn FaithBENTON — Our Barry

Lynn Faith, a wonderful husband, loving father and precious Papa passed away at his residence on Griggstown Road shortly

a f t e r 4 : 0 5 p.m. on July 9, 2 0 1 1 . H e passed a w a y s u r -round-ed by family

and friends after a long-fought battle with colon and liver cancer.

Barry was a member of Zion’s Cause Baptist Church and worked in the automotive business. He was also self-employed in the antique restoration business, built furniture and retired from Labor’s Local #1214.

Barry was born August 31, 1951, to Donald “Pea-nut” Faith of Calvert City and Susie Bell (Cope) Faith. He was preceded in death by his mother, Su-sie. Barry is survived by his wife of 40 years, Judy Bradley Faith of Calvert City; his daughter, Wen-dy Faith Treas of Benton; his son, Brad Faith and wife, Lindsey, of Benton; and his brother, Ronnie Faith and wife, Christy, of Reidland. He is also survived by three grand-children, Corey Treas, Tanisha Treas and Tyler Treas, all of Benton.

Barry was a fi erce competitor and a great athlete growing up in Griggstown and attend-ing Sharpe Elementary, North Marshall High School, Gaston Jr. Col-lege in N.C. and Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. The name Barry Faith became well known throughout Marshall County as he grew up and played sports. Barry was always the best and excelled at whatever he participated in. Pound for pound he truly was an amazing athlete with a determination that was unstoppable. He was a 2-time all purchase bas-ketball player at North Marshall and an all-state selection in 1969 in baseball. He was the basketball all-time career scoring leader at Gaston College, where all fi ve starters were from Ken-tucky, and he holds prac-tically all the offensive records. He fi nished his

career at Stetson Univer-sity in DeLand, Florida as being voted MVP of the basketball team by his teammates. He didn’t in-vent the word hustle but his play defi ned it. Barry just recently found out that his 1969 North Mar-shall baseball team that fi nished 3rd in the state will be inducted into the Marshall County Hall of Fame this September. It really put a smile on his face to talk about his team.

Later in life, Barry again excelled as he be-came one of the top washer pitchers in the mid-south. He won over 30 championships in sin-gles, doubles and numer-ous other awards. He was Kentucky State Champi-on and Grand Champion in the 50-up division and back to back winner of the prestigious Interna-tional Washer Doubles Championship in Yor-kville, Tenn. Barry was looking to repeat again this year, as that feat had never been accomplished before.

Barry loved buying, building and selling an-tique furniture. Barry spent many hours build-ing and refurnishing an-tiques. He made many good friends through the years and loved going to auctions and fl ea mar-kets. He was a regular at the Nashville Flea Market and loved talking to and meeting people. What he enjoyed most was being with his family, and he was so proud of being a Papa to Tyler. Barry did not need or want the fi ner things in life and was sat-isfi ed and happy with liv-ing modestly and enjoy-ing time with his family. Anybody that knew Barry realized that he done it his own way and always provided for his family.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday, July 13, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. at Collier Funeral Home in Benton. Joe Edd Brooks and Brother Charles Fra-zier will offi ciate. Burial will follow in the Mul-linax Cemetery. Friends may call after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 12, 2011, at Collier Funeral Home in Benton.

The family asks that memorial contributions be made to the Zion’s Cause Baptist Church Building Fund, 1532 U.S. Hwy 68 West, Benton, KY 42025.

Rose Marie WilkinsMETROPOLIS, Ill. — Rose Ma-

rie Wilkins, 69, of Metropo-lis died Tuesday at Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah.

PARIS — Acclaimed cho-reographer Roland Petit, whose creations dazzled stages from Paris to Hol-lywood and inspired dancers, writers and de-signers has died. He was 87.

The Paris National Op-era said Petit's wife, Zizi Jeanmaire, informed them that the choreog-rapher died on Sunday in Geneva. No cause of death was given.

Jeanmaire, ballerina turned music hall per-former who collaborated with her husband, and the couple's daughter Valentine, saluted Petit as “not only a great in-novator ... but also an in-comparable creator who marked and will mark all generations.”

Petit took his fi rst dance steps aged nine at the Paris Opera's School of Dance “and never truly left the house,” they said in a statement.

While opening sev-eral ballet companies in Paris after its liberation from occupying Nazis and the Marseille ballet house, Petit maintained ties with Paris Opera, offering 11 creations, in-cluding “Notre Dame de Paris.”

His reputation grew well beyond France in the 1950s during a four-

year stint in Hollywood, collaborating with Orson Welles in “The Lady in the Ice” (1953) and cho-reographing classics like “Daddy Long Legs” with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron (1954) or “Any-thing Goes” with Bing Crosby and Zizi Jean-maire (1955).

Famed American dancer Alvin Ailey said in 1970 that he owed every-thing to Petit.

French Culture Min-ister Frederic Mitter-rand, paying tribute, said that some of his works brought together de-signers like Yves Saint-Laurent for costumes, Picasso for decor and writer and poet Jacques Prevert. Notable pieces included “Carmen” or “Le Jeune Homme et la Mort” (The Young Man and Death).

Petit choreographed for Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn among other great dancers dur-ing an eclectic career that saw him spend six months at the head of the Paris Opera in 1970 then moving to the Casino de Paris for music hall creations until 1976. He then settled in Marseille and lent his name to the company in 1981, now known as National Bal-let of Marseille-Roland Petit.

Petit collaborated with Welles, Astaire, Picasso

Serving Your Family for Generations

NEW YORK — As the job-less rate inches up and the economic recovery sput-ters, investors looking for a few good stocks may want to follow the money — or rather the TV, the beloved Fender guitar, the baubles from grandma, the wedding ring.

Profi ts at pawn shop operator Ezcorp Inc. have

jumped by an average 46 percent annually for fi ve years. The stock has dou-bled from a year ago, to about $38. And the Wall Street pros who analyze the company think it will go higher yet. All seven of them are telling investors to buy the Austin, Texas, company.

Is the economy still just in a soft patch? A hard

patch? Will the market rise or drop? Even experts are just guessing. In investing, it’s often better to focus on what you can safely predict, even if that safety is found in companies that thrive on hard times. One good bet: The jobless aren’t likely to fi nd work anytime soon. And companies profi ting from their bad fortune will continue to do so.

MOSCOW — More than 100 people were missing and feared dead after a pas-senger cruiser sank on the Volga River on Sunday af-ternoon, Russian offi cials said.

The 56-year-old double-deck riverboat Bulgaria was carrying 188 people — 142 passengers and 46 crew members — when it went under about 2 miles from the shore of the Vol-ga, in central Russia near the regional capital of Ka-zan, about 500 miles east of Moscow.

Two bodies were quickly recovered, offi cials said, and about 80 passengers had been rescued, 13 of whom were rushed to hospitals, Irina Andrianova, Russian Emergency Situations Min-istry spokeswoman, said in televised remarks.

Divers found the ship on its side at the bottom, about 60 feet down, and were seek-ing to determine whether anyone inside was still alive.

“According to our divers chances to fi nd people alive are minimal,” Andrianova said.

Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered dozens of res-cue workers to determine whether survivors had

managed to make it to any of 13 nearby islands.

The ship may have sunk because it was overloaded, a law enforcement source told Interfax news agency. The vessel was made in Czechoslovakia in 1955 and was equipped with two rescue boats that could ac-commodate 36 people and several rescue rafts for 120 people, Interfax reported.

The boat sank during a thunderstorm accompa-nied by strong rain, said a survivor whose wife and grandson were missing.

Other survivors said the

boat was packed with tour-ists and the sinking oc-curred very suddenly.

Russian television showed chilling footage of shocked survivors whose relatives were feared dead. One young woman said she lost her 10-year-old daughter.

“We all found ourselves buried alive inside the boat like in a sarcophagus and were trying to get out through the window,” the woman, wrapped in a long towel, said in Kazan’s port. “I was holding her by the hand but then she began to choke and pushed me away.”

A relative embraces a survivor upon the arrival of the Arabella riverboat with dozens of survivors of a shipwreck in Kazan, on the Volga River in central Russia. A woman drowned and some 100 remain missing after the double-decker passenger boat sank in the middle of the river some 2 miles away from the nearest bank on Sunday.
