The Harlan County Board of Health is con-sidering separating from the Cumberland Valley Health District. During a meeting on Thursday, Harlan County Judge-Executive Joe Grieshop introduced a motion to the board to withdraw from the district.

“Today I talked to judge Albey Brock (Bell County Judge-Executive),” said Grieshop. “He said the Bell County Board of Health spoke about working with us and they agreed to do that if we chose to work with them. They’re actually excited, because we’re their neighbors and I’ve told you before they’ve done well since they’ve

LOUISVILLE (AP) — The family of a slain one-time eastern Kentucky sheriff can pursue a civil suit against a one-time political rival and a former deputy con-victed of shooting and killing the law-man after the Kentucky Court of Appeals on Friday reinstated part of a civil suit.

The appellate panel ruled that former Harlan County Sheriff Steve Duff and now-imprisoned deputy Roger Dean Hall were not immune from being sued by the family of 57-year-old Paul L. Browning Jr., who was killed as he sought to retake the office in 2002.

Judge Jeff S. Taylor, writing for a three-judge panel, concluded that Hall wasn’t entitled to immunity from being sued and Duff wasn’t immune from being sued for Hall’s actions in arrang-

ing Browning’s slaying. Taylor found that the concept of sovereign immunity — which generally prevents government officials from being sued for acts taken as part of their official duties — didn’t apply to Duff because the sheriff is liable for the acts of his deputies.

Taylor also found that Hall couldn’t be sued for any actions he took as a sher-iff ’s deputy, but could be held liable for things he did that went beyond that role.

Duff, though, is on the hook for any-thing that Hall did, Taylor wrote.

“This opinion should not be miscon-strued as holding Sheriff Duff, in his official capacity, liable for the alleged negligent or intentional wrongful acts of Deputy Sheriff Hall.,” Taylor wrote.

Browning’s family sued Hall and Duff in 2010 in Harlan Circuit Court. They alleged that Duff was negligent in hiring, training, and supervising Hall, which led

to Browning’s death. Browning’s fam-ily also claimed that Duff planned and directed Hall, then a narcotics detective, in the murder plot.

Senior Judge Roderick Messer dismissed the suit in 2011.

Browning disappeared in March 2002, while cam-paigning for re-election. His remains were identified in a burned out truck several days later.

Hall, a narcotics detective under Duff, is serving a five-year sentence in state prison for his role in the plot.

Raymond Harris, 66, is serving life in prison after being found guilty of shooting Browning in the head.

Harris’ nephew, Dewayne Harris, and

Johnny Epperson pleaded guilty to their involvement in the murder of Browning

Epperson, 55, is serving a five year sentence for criminal facilitation. The

legal status of Dewayne Harris was not immediately clear Friday.

Browning was elected sher-iff in 1981 but was arrested the next year on suspicion of plotting to kill a magistrate and the county school board chairman. Neither was killed.

Browning served about three years of a 10 year sentence in state prison. He was paroled in 1985. Browning ran the sheriff ’s office from his jail cell at the Kentucky State Penitentiary

in Eddyville until Gov. John Y. Brown removed him in 1983.


The fate of two men who were acquit-ted of federal hate crime charges but convicted on kidnapping charges will soon be known. The case of Anthony Ray Jenkins, 21, of Partridge, and David Jenkins, 38, of Partridge, boiled down to a sentencing hearing in Judge Gregory Van Tatenhove’s courtroom in U.S. District Court in London on Thursday.

Federal attorneys are asking that Anthony Jenkins be sentenced to 250 months in prison and that David Jenkins be sentenced to 405 months in prison.

Previous reports show jurors found both Anthony Ray Jenkins and his cousin David Jason Jenkins guilty of conspiracy to a kidnapping and kidnap-ping following an April 4, 2011 assault on 29-year-old Kevin Pennington inside

Court reinstates part of suit over sheriff’s death


A debate over who should pay the insurance for equipment used by the Benham Power Board broke out in a meeting of the Benham City Council on Thursday.

According to mem-bers of the power board attending the meeting, the power board has received a quote from Harris Insurance Agency that is approximately $5,000 less than the quote given the city.

Mayor Shirley Dodd stated that the city, not the power board, owns the equipment in ques-tion.

“When was the last time you had the city of Benham’s insurance evalu-

ated?” asked power board chairman Danny Quillen. “If it’s not been re-eval-uated in some time, it’s gonna stay up if you’ve got vehicles that you’ve bidded off in the past that you’re still paying insur-ance on.”

Dodd said she was informed by an agent working for Harris Insurance that the power board cannot purchase insurance since they do not own the vehicles to be insured.

“If the city of Benham Power Board doesn’t own anything, then why should we pay any of the insur-ance?” asked Quillen.

Dodd said the power board should pay because they are being covered.

The graduation rate at Harlan County High School is expected to take a dramatic jump this year following adjust-ments made in the calculation method.

After several years of frus-tration with state and federal education agencies over how the previous method unfairly penalized districts with declin-ing populations, county school officials were encouraged by the changes.

Though the graduation rate had been slowly increasing since the advent of the new high school, an increase of more than 10 percentage points

was a pleasant surprise.Three years ago, the gradu-

ation rate was 62.8 percent. Last year it was 71.6 percent. Preliminary reports show the rate for 2013 will be 81.7 per-cent, probably an all-time high in the county.

“With the graduation rate accounting for 20 percent of a school’s score under the state’s Unbridled Learning Accountability model, this new measure puts us in good shape on that part of it,” Brent Roark, assistant superintendent, told the board of education during a recent special meeting.

Previously, graduation rates had been calculated based on the percentage of freshmen who graduated four years later,

but it only counted if they finished from the same school they entered. No adjustment was made for transfers to near-by districts or for those who moved away from the district, not even for those who moved out of state.

Now, by using what Roark termed “a cohort model,” those sorts of issues are figured into the calculation and the rate no longer penalizes districts for a circumstance largely outside their control.

Roark also briefly discussed recent test scores, pointing to commendable performances by schools and students, as the district exceeded state aver-ages across the board in the eighth grade EXPLORE scores.

While high school PLAN scores remain below state aver-

ages in every category, Roark noted the school is only held accountable for improving stu-dent performance in two sub-ject areas, reading and math. The “growth” component in that measure of accountabil-ity is determined between the time they take the tenth grade PLAN test and the ACT, which is taken during the next year.

“The potential for student growth from the PLAN to the ACT is still very viable given our current scores,” Roark said.

The board recognized the achievement of 22 middle

school students during the meeting. The central office conference room was full of students, parents and family as the board officially noted those students who achieved perfect scores on the EXPLORE test.

“It’s an honor for us to rec-ognize these students,” said Superintendent Mike Howard. When he added, “I’d just as soon see this as see our stu-dents win a state champion-ship,” the room filled with applause.

After declaring several items as surplus, members of the Evarts City Council set minimum bids on those items for sale during a recent meeting. Mayor Eddie Manning said the bids will be opened at the next meeting of the coun-cil.

Items declared surplus included a 1970 GMC tanker, with a minimum bid set at $500, a 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 truck, with a minimum bid set at $500 and a Patriot diesel roller, with a minimum bid set at $800.

Councilwoman Shelly Shackleford inquired if the city will proceed with plac-ing signage at the city’s new walking park naming it in memory of a local congressional medal of honor soldier Carl Dodd.

Manning said he believed the park will have to be renamed because after talking with the Evarts Alumni Association, he was informed the family did not wish to have any-thing in the Clover Fork area named in his honor.

“I don’t know the rea-sons behind this,” said Manning. “The city has to honor the family’s wishes. Everyone can begin to think of other names for our new city park, but I like the suggestion made by councilman Ernie Woodard to name it the Push and Grunt City Park. It has always been called Push and Grunt over there. Let’s all think this over and at our next meet-ing we’ll try to rename the park.”

Councilwoman Jackie Renfro asked council members to include in their livestock ordinance

an amendment prohibiting chickens in the city limits.

“We’ve got several peo-ple who now own fighting chickens and turkeys with-in the city,” said Renfro. “The chickens will keep you up with their crow-ing.”

Manning said a new ordinance regarding own-ership of fowl within the city will have to be writ-ten. He encouraged coun-cil members to consider the issue so that it may be addressed at the next council meeting.

Councilman Larry Caudill asked if there was any new information about Subway opening a restaurant in the city.

“The contract is signed is the word I’m getting,” said Manning. “Mr. Pace has moved some things in the building to keep it safe and at the begin-ning of April, Subway will

come in, at which time Mr. Pace will be given time to remove his things, before work begins on the res-taurant. This is what I am being told.”

In other council actions:*Announced the city

has received a safety grant and work will begin on sidewalk repairs;

*Announced a contract has now been signed with David Curry, and work will begin the end of February replacing the roof on city hall. The roof will be dark brown metal;

*Spring cleanup will begin sometime in April. Dates will be announced at a later date.

Council went into executive session per KRS 61.810 (b) and they returned with no action taken.

Staff Report

Basketball fans from throughout the 13th Region and beyond will descend on Harlan County next week. During the course of seven days, sev-eral thousands of visitors are expected to provide a financial boost to the local economy.

Harlan County High School is hosting the Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s 13th Region Boys and Girls Basketball tourna-ments beginning Monday and running through March 4.

Harlan County Schools Superintendent Mike Howard explained a lot of concentrated, diligent and persistent effort led the region’s participating schools to move the tour-nament here this year instead of hosting it at

The Corbin Arena as has been the case for the past several years.

“I am tickled for our people and for our busi-nesses,” said Howard. “Our fans previously had to travel to Corbin for the regional tournaments and that became expen-sive for our families. In addition to paying for admission for the fam-ily members, they paid for gas, meals and other purchases along the way. Those are dollars that will now stay in Harlan County.”

“With gas prices now nearing $4 per gallon, I am really happy our peo-ple can enjoy the games here at Harlan County High School,” he said. “More importantly, the people coming here will be spending money in Harlan County.”

HCHS Principal Bob Howard agrees.

“The amount of work it took for me and my staff to hold this was never an issue… We wanted the tournament here for the people of Harlan County. This allows our busi-nesses to get a return from our school and the schools across the 13th Region… restaurants, gas and even hotels. Getting this for Harlan County was a driving factor for us… We have the facili-ties; We wanted Harlan County to benefit from this and all the business to get their share of what

the regional tournament means to a community.”

Ada Harris, manager of Arby’s Restaurant at the junction of U.S. 119 and U.S. 421, said, “We are more than excited” about the tournament being in Harlan County. “We are really looking forward to the tournament.”

Harris said Arby’s will be expanding store hours and has scheduled extra staff to serve visitors and others associated with the tournament.

Carol Irvin, shift man-ager at nearby Dairy Queen, said her staff is excited about the tourna-

ment and the opportuni-ties for increased busi-ness.

“We get a lot of busi-ness when we have games here,” she said. “The larg-er tournament crowd is sure to boost sales.

Paul Barger, manager of Harlan Station, said his restaurant will also extend hours “as custom-ers keep coming in.”

With the tournament occurring in 2013, it may well be another 16 years before it returns.

Principal Howard said when the tournament was moved from region schools to the arena,

there was no consider-ation of future construc-tion taking place that would allow for the tournament to remain in other communities across the region.

“This might be the first step in bringing the tour-naments back to the local communities where they belong,” he said of the tournament next week.

He said an estimated 3,100 people attended the championship game at the arena last year.

“A lot of people did not enjoy The Corbin Arena atmosphere,” he said. “We are expecting good crowds every night. The actual crowds will depend on the schools coming. Some schools have a better following (of fan support) than oth-ers. I’d say 2,500 on a

separated.”According to Grieshop,

separating from the dis-trict and working with Bell County is the better path for Harlan’s health department.

“I think it’s a better direction for us to go,” said Grieshop. “They’ll probably try to dispute it, but I read the papers. The papers I trust, words I don’t trust at this moment.”

Board Treasurer Leo Miller seconded after Grieshop clarified his motion to state a feasibili-ty study be required before the board could separate from Cumberland Valley Health District.

The board then held a lengthy discussion concerning the rami-fications of separating from Cumberland Valley Health District.

Board Chairman Dr. N.S. Guy said he had some concerns he wanted to address before making a decision.

“If we decide that we’re going on our own, we’ve got to take care of this

building, we’ve got to take care of our employ-ees… everything is going to be on this board to take care of. We’ll be on our own. If the money’s not there, then we’re going to answer for it,” said Guy.

Guy said he was not arguing for or against separation, but playing the “devil’s advocate.”

“I’m not sure Bell County is a total case study yet because they’ve only been on their own for about six or seven months and that’s hardly a model for us to go by,” said Guy. “Again, I’m being the devil’s advo-cate, I’m not saying that we need to go or stay.”

Grieshop said that all members of the Harlan Fiscal Court had spoken with the Bell County judge-executive one on one, and had voted unani-mously to support a deci-sion for withdrawal.

“I’m saying right now I trust my leadership over their’s (Cumberland Valley Health District). I feel that strongly about

it. And I trust Brock’s leadership over their’s,” said Grieshop.

Several board members said they needed more information concerning feasibility before making any decision.

Cumberland Valley Health District Interim Director Lynette Renner pointed out problems with managed care orga-nizations not paying money owed had led to the district’s staffing and financial issues.

According to Renner, it’s not just the Cumberland Valley Health District that has been impacted by the managed care organi-zations not paying their share.

“When the CEO’s of the hospitals came forward to talk… they said our problem is that the man-aged care organizations are breaking our orga-nizations,” said Renner. “They are bankrupting our hospitals. Small hos-pitals are at risk of clos-ing their doors.”

Grieshop stated that Bell County faces those

same issues.“They are not furlough-

ing their people like you are,” said Grieshop. “They are on solid ground.”

Renner said that the district was still working through Bell County’s finances.

“Bell County left last year, but it’s going to take almost until the end of this fiscal year before business with Bell County is completely done,” said

Renner.According to Renner,

Harlan must give the dis-trict three months notice before pulling out.

“Whatever decision is made here, I have the greatest respect for our staff and the warmest regards for everyone that I have worked with here,” said Renner.

After more discussion and hearing from several employees in attendance, Grieshop tabled his

motion in order to give the board time to collect information concerning the feasibility of separa-tion from Cumberland Valley Health District.

The board approved Miller’s motion that the board contact an expert concerning a feasibility study and any other ques-tions the board may have concerning separation.

also participate.”Sundy was excited about the Hall

of Fame Alumni, Mike Alexander and Lee Arthur Jackson, being honored during this year’s event.

The Hall of Fame highlights out-standing African-American alumni from each of the KCTCS colleges.

“I’d like the young people to remem-ber you should take great pride in your heritage,” said Sundy. “Mike Alexander was raised in Lynch and is a Lynch High School graduate. He has held his present position as Deputy General Counsel for the Governor of

Kentucky since 1993. He is always available to assist us and he likes for you to make recommendations for board appointments by the governor so eastern Kentucky will be represent-ed. Lee Arthur Jackson is a graduate of Southeast and is presently retiring after spending 31 years in state gov-ernment where he served as President of the Kentucky Association of State Employees (KASE), AFT-Kentucky and Vice President of the Kentucky State AFL-CIO. I’m proud of these inductees, along with the first year inductees Dr. William (Bill) Turner,

Dr. Ronnie Ratchford and second year inductees Georgetta Riley Richardson and twin Dr. Georgenna Riley.”

Sundy added Chris Jones, of Harlan, is also a coordinator of Super Sunday handling all the public relation informa-tion and distribution. She said much of Chris’ work is behind the scenes and performed prior to the program, but “he has been involved from day one and has done an outstanding job.”

Kingdom Come State Park located near Cumberland. The two men were charged with violating a section of a federal hate-crimes law that had not previously been prosecuted.

According to the sentencing memorandum for Anthony Jenkins offered to the court by prosecutors, Anthony Ray Jenkins could receive a sentence of up to life in prison, with federal guidelines suggesting a range of 235 to 293 months in prison.

The memorandum states “While Anthony Jenkins offi-cial criminal history is limited, the acts of violence and threats of violence by Anthony Jenkins before and after this offense demonstrate the need to protect the public from further acts of violence.”

The memorandum states further that U.S.C. section 3553 requires many factors be considered when setting sentence, such as the nature and circumstances of the offense. The defendant’s history and characteristics as well as the seriousness of the offense must also be con-sidered.

Previous reports state the two women involved in the crime, Mable Ashley Jenkins, 20, and Alexis Jenkins, 20, both of Cumberland, previously entered pleas of guilty to aiding and abetting kidnapping and aiding and abetting the assault on Pennington.

The women are scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 28.The date of final sentencing for Anthony and David

Jenkins is not known at this time and is up to the judge’s discretion.

normal night would be a good estimate.”

He said he appreciates the support being provided for the tournament by his staff, the school district, business-es and individuals across the county.

“We want this to be a good tournament. I hope and

encourage everyone to come out to the games and show your support. We have two teams in it and hopefully they will win regional champion-ships.”

“Parking is good. We have a great plan. You have to remember we had 6,000 peo-ple at the Bell County football

game. We are in good shape on parking. We have worked and planned and worked and planned. We have worked on the concessions and hospital-ity. Now, we just have to open up the doors. We think the crowd will see it is a good place and it will be alright.”

Tickets for the tournament

were set at $8 by the 13th Region Policy Board.

“We have no control over the ticket prices,” Howard said. “We hope people will come out and support us on this tournament. Our people will be saving money by not having to travel out of the county.”

Quillen pointed out it would be beneficial for the power board to own the equipment.

“We want the option to cover it ourselves so we can save money,” said Quillen.

After some discussion concerning money owed to the power board from the city, tempers flared over alleged partial payments from the city on the electric bill.

“If a resident pays partial, we cut

them off,” said Quillen. Dodd stated that she understood the board’s policy, but the power board should try to help the city.

According to Quillen, the city should pay its bills.

“That’s what I’m trying to do,” said Dodd.

After some discussion, Quillen summed up the board’s position.

“We want to get to the point finan-cially where we can take care of thun-

derstorms, snowstorms and also be able to help the city when we can,” said Quillen. “But we cannot get to that point as long as people keep not paying their bills and bickering and not letting us save money.”

The council took no action on the matter.


MayorFrom page 2

Later, during a discus-sion of various school trips before them for approval, board members again dis-cussed potential changes needed to the policy regard-ing those excursions.

Many school principals and teachers advocate for pleasure and educational trips as a valuable experi-ence and an incentive for students, many of whom may not get the opportunity to visit a major city or see the ocean, they say.

Board members remain concerned by the abuses of the travel privilege that have occurred over the years and by the perception of increased safety issues where students are con-cerned, especially on over-night trips.

Board Attorney Johnnie Turner said the policy could be written in any way to comply with their wishes without discriminating

against any individual, group or school, but cau-tioned the board members about putting themselves in the position of “micro-managing” the issue.

Our Viewpoint

Harlan behind bars: Part IIIWhat works to

make prison inmates less likely

to cause problems for themselves and those who are employed to keep them incarcerated? In addition, why should we care if inmates cause problems?

A brief Internet search demonstrates the high cost to taxpay-ers of inmates who are involved in the revolving door as well as costs in terms of the deaths and injuries of inmates and guards when prison riots break out. The destruc-tion of property is also a financial issue when fires are set and then there are the possibilities of retaliatory attacks, polit-ical fallout and lawsuits from inmates or their families for civil rights violations.

Who is researching these inmates, their records of violations while incarcerated and why would anyone want to do this?

Because she is often in the lounge where I make copies of hand-outs for my students, I have come to know faculty member Carin Benning. Her thesis for her master’s in Applied Behavioral Science: Criminal Justice and Social Problems from Wright State University in 2012 is entitled “Parent-Child Relationships as a Motivation for Improved Behavior Among Male and Female Prison Inmates.”

Of all the topics Benning could have chosen for her thesis, she believes her interest might have been sparked by her behavior before she became pregnant with her first child while still in high school. She was hanging with kids who were known as trou-blemakers: “I felt like I fit better there.”

She feels that the birth of her daughter, before she graduated from high school in 2001, “prob-ably saved my life.” She acknowledges, however, that unlike many preg-nant teens, she had a social support system. She says of prison inmates, “I see myself in their stories. I could eas-ily have been where they are. What it really boils down to is who you are, where you come from, how much money you have, and whether you get caught or not.”

Benning had friends in high school who were always in trouble, being sent to juvenile deten-tion centers or mental

health facilities. And she knows three people per-sonally who have spent time in prison: drugs and other illegal activi-ties. One is now sleep-ing in a friend’s garage and he has lost parental rights and is virtually unemployable.

Benning’s experience with prison populations involves participating in talking circles with male prisoners and an intern-ship at a residential treatment center, David L. Brown Youth Center for adjudicated, unruly, delinquent males, ages 12 to 17.

Her research indicates that “the higher the frequency of visitations male and female prison inmates have with their children, the less likely they are to be written up or found guilty of any rule violation while in prison.”

Her hope is that those who read her thesis will “see that changes need to be made in the United States regarding prison policy and regulations.” She believes that the lack of needed changes comes from a lack of understanding. Because many in decision-making roles have not had the experiences that some of the incarcerated have had and do not agree with what these felons have done — and who among us does — they cannot come to an understanding of the issues.

Further, many mak-ing decisions do not want “to consider that

the culture or society itself plays a part in the cycle of incarceration.” She points out the high rate of incarceration of minorities, dispropor-tionate to their repre-sentation in the U.S. population, and the large percentage, 80 percent, who are serving time because of drug offenses. She writes that instead of treating the alcoholic or the schizophrenic, we imprison them.

Additionally, she indi-cates there’s the problem of insurance companies refusing to pay for drug counseling and rehabili-tation.

Policy implications for Benning’s research are the following: the need for more parent-child centered programs within prison facilities with the visitation areas designed for positive interaction and the use of technology for more frequent contacts to influence social bonding and improve attitudes of inmates.

In conclusion, there will always be a need to incarcerate those who chose to violate the norms of society, to break the law. It is in our best interest, howev-er, from both the finan-cial perspective and also the moral/ethical aspect, to accept the responsibil-ity for determining why offenders offend and to redesign our prisons and programs to reduce the rate of incarceration and recidivism. To do otherwise just makes no sense.

By the Associated PressToday is Saturday, Feb. 23, the 54th day of 2013.

There are 311 days left in the year.Today’s Highlight in History:On Feb. 23, 1863, British explorers John H. Speke and

James A. Grant announced they had found the source of the Nile River to be Lake Victoria. (This finding was disputed by Speke’s colleague, Richard F. Burton.)

It appears the Harlan County Board of Health is finally asking questions that needed to be asked of officials with the Cumberland Valley Health District and, specifically, interim director Lynette

Renner.Clearly, Judge-Executive Joe Grieshop has made a

180 degree turn from the Harlan County Chamber of Commerce meeting earlier this year when he surpris-ingly indicated the county would continue its part-nership with the Cumberland Valley Health District despite some serious concerns being aired by local employees and what it appeared to be political wars in the organization housed in Manchester.

It is encouraging to see the local board of health’s members now asking about the lack of retirement payments and the undo hardships placed on our local health department through layoffs and retirements while others in the partnership retained their status quo with no layoffs.

We are pleased the judge-executive finally spoke up at the meeting last week, raking Renner over the coals for the layoff decisions, which she attempted to defend with an argument based on population and regulations.

We felt, and now the judge seems to agree, Harlan County clearly has been hit hard by the regional health board for whatever reason be it political or self-serving to protect family and friends in other counties. Clearly, the Cumberland Valley Health District should be red-faced over what has transpired — actions that clearly jeopardized the retirement ben-efits of employees. The details that continue to unfold are concerning for all involved and a plan to pull out of the regional health department be fast-tracked.

With the state of the local economy, tax dollars must be protected and used wisely. We can’t afford to keep up entities in two or three counties away and then be penalized for some reason when it comes to reduction of staff. So, it is time for our elected offi-cials to take appointments to boards, commissions, panels and other posts very seriously. It is imperative that people appointed to represent Harlan County be committed to the cause, willing and able to put the time in necessary to protect our county’s interest. What can and will those appointed take to their posts for the best representation of Harlan County and its interest?

We hope the local board will follow the judge-exec-utive’s recommendation and end its relationship with the Cumberland Valley Health District, possibly look-ing for a new partnership with our neighbor just to the south, Bell County. Bell bailed out of the regional partnership some time back. We are confident that they are glad they are not a part of the current fiasco.

Editor,I am writing this to you in hopes

that you may do an article or print this concern. I was born and raised in Harlan County. I left after graduation, but still have many relatives there. I cannot voice this any other way so I thought I would write to you.

This is in regards to justice in the state of Kentucky, in par-ticular Harlan County. My brother was assaulted 22 months ago in Loyall, where he has lived for over 20 some years. There has been postponement after postponement and nothing yet. Why is there no justice for the innocent?

Fielding Marcum

Editor,Back in the 30s, I heard my par-

ents talking about crime in Harlan. After all these years I’m wonder-ing what the people in Harlan think about the death penalty. Is it just? Is it humane? Does it reduce crime? Does it cost less than rehabilitation? Do they want executions to resume now that the law allows it?

Rose Rizzo

Editor,As a member of the Baltimore

Ravens, Michael Oher joined

his teammates in experiencing the ultimate football victory on Super Sunday as they claimed the Lombardi trophy and celebrated beneath a shower of confetti and camera flashes inside the Super Dome in New Orleans.

One of the most endearing pho-tographs from that moment came when Oher found Leigh Ann Tuohy, lifted her off the ground and the two shared an embrace that held much more meaning than the out-come of a single game. Instead, it was a shared joy between a mother and her son as they marked a life saved.

You’re probably familiar with the story. Oher was a homeless teen-ager, the son of a drug-addicted mother and with no ties to his father. The Tuohys took him in, gave him food, clothing and shel-ter, but most importantly they gave him a family. He was a foster child, then an adopted son and instead of becoming another sta-tistic, he became an inspiration as he blossomed into a professional athlete.

His story hit the big screen in the Oscar-winning movie, The Blind Side, a film that gave Oher and his adopted family a national platform on which share the importance of foster care and adoption.

How many Michael Ohers are there walking the streets today? In Kentucky alone there are approxi-mately 7,000 kids in out-of-home care who need a family to provide the kind of love, support and sta-bility that made Oher’s dreams possible. You could be the differ-ence in the life of one of these children.

Since 1869, Sunrise Children’s Services has served children in crisis. We are always looking for new foster families to help with the children in our care. We can’t promise you a child who will one day be fitted for a Super Bowl ring, but we can promise you a chance to be the champion in their life by simply giving them the love they so desperately need.

Leigh Ann Touhy told reporters after the game that families don’t always have to match. “You don’t have to look like someone to love them,” she said. “There are won-derful kids all over the country who need a forever family.”

If your family has room for one more, contact us for more informa-tion about becoming a foster par-ent. Call 1-855-33i-care, or visit us at www.sunrise.org.

County should leave regional health group

Dear Dr. Brothers: My dad lives down the block, and he’s fallen into a habit that I don’t like: Whenever I drop in, he seems to be watching TV. We go for our daily walk, so I know he’s getting enough exercise, but when a retired guy in his 70s does nothing but watch TV, is that good for him? He doesn’t want to do any social activities with me and my wife, and when I say he should do puzzles or whatnot to help his brain, he says the TV shows are stimulating enough. Really?

— J.W. Dear J.W.: It’s great

that you are able to have a daily routine that includes a walk with your dad. He probably loves the interaction with you or just being around his son on a daily basis. He also sounds perfectly happy with the rest of his day, and a bit stubborn and set in his ways as well. It’s possible that he may resent your criticiz-ing his shows — which he may truly enjoy — and trying to tell him what to

do, when he thinks he and his brain are doing just fine. Your key to chang-ing his behavior might be challenging him to a game of Scrabble or asking for help with the crossword

puzzle. Don’t just drop him off at the door — see if you can spend a little time in his home and slowly intro-duce these activi-ties, which can be an alternative to the TV screen.

If you think he’d listen, you can tell him about a new study from the

Rush University Memory and Aging Project, which is aimed at identifying risk factors for demen-tia. The findings reflect-ed the trend that sees value in writing, read-ing and problem-solving games for older people. If he doesn’t like to be told what to do, get him a newspaper subscription and a library card. Since the brain can start going downhill after 30, why not incorporate some of this advice into your own routine? You could use it, too, after you go in and

turn off the TV.***

Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m in my late 40s, and my mom is in her late 60s. I am married and look like the middle-age housewife I am, while my mom is all caught up in the latest fashion, body-sculpting, makeup and try-ing to attract attention from 30-year-olds! She divorced my dad when I was very young, and has been on the prowl ever since. I am sick of this, and it’s embarrass-ing to me and my kids. I’ve never said anything to her, but I’m about to explode.

— D.P. Dear D.P.: As older

people have the means to look, act and feel younger all the time, some of them are going to take advan-tage of the opportunity, and it’s going to play to mixed reviews. Some will pull it off, to admiring applause, and some will achieve a giant fail. In between are those who are doing the best they can to make the rest of their lives fun and excit-ing, to mixed results. When they choose inap-propriately young part-ners as their goal, they eventually adjust their

sights to reflect reality so they will feel better about themselves and their lives. If they find that they are embarrassing their families, they will change whatever behav-ior is offensive.

In your case, it appears that your mom is not making those adjust-ments on her own. Since you haven’t said anything

to her, she may not even be aware that you dis-approve. Perhaps she is having success attract-ing younger partners. In any case, not speaking up seems to be having an unpleasant effect — on you! Your attitude seems to be one of barely con-tained, built-up anger at your mother’s lifestyle. Do I detect a little bit of

envy at her ability to keep that spark of adventure alive? Talk to her, for your own sake — but instead of crushing her spirit, why not be proactive and help her meet some guys closer to her age? It might be helpful for both of you.

Dr. Brothers is retiring from her column — this is her final column.

If you had your life to live over, what would you do differently?

Frankly, with one exception, the few things that I would change are too personal to talk about in a public forum and they’re really nobody else’s business, anyway.

And if I went back and made major changes, say in the type of education or where I attended col-lege, for example, they might have resulted in an entirely different life than the one I’ve lived.

The bottom line is that I’m pretty happy with the way things have turned out. I love my family and my circle of friends and I love living in Paint Lick. I love what I do and I’m fairly content with what I’ve accomplished over the last 64 years.

I’m proud of my kids and grand-kids and I can’t imagine having a life-sharing partner more wonder-ful than Loretta. I would not go back and make a single change that would ultimately make the family and friends aspects of my life turn out differently.

But, by far, the biggest regret

that I’m willing to talk about is smoking. I wish, with all my heart that I’d never seen or touched a cigarette or briar pipe. I would be lying big time if I told you that I have not taken great plea-sure from smoking, espe-cially my pipes, over the decades.

Even though I haven’t smoked a pipe in nearly three years, I still consider myself a connoisseur of blended pipe tobacco from around the world and few things, made of wood, have more appeal to my eyes and hands than a hand carved and perfectly engi-neered Mediterranean briar pipe. Nothing smells better to me than the aroma of fine pipe tobacco.

But if I had it to do over, I would have never touched a pipe and never lit that first cigarette. I’m reasonably convinced that I would not have suffered the stroke that has left me somewhat crippled for nearly a year now. I’m sure that I would have far more stamina and

that I would feel better. I don’t even want to think about all the money I would have had I stuck it into savings account instead of blowing it on tobacco and its

related products over the years.

People who do not have ultra-addictive personalities do not understand those of us who do. I know at least a hundred people who have quit smoking over the years and some of them had mighty struggles with the process. Many, if not most, of them are of the opinion that if they can do

it, anyone can.But even after my stroke, I

cheated and on those days when I didn’t smoke, I wanted a cigarette so badly that I could hardly think of anything else.

Over the last 25 years I have tried numerous patches, pills and gum. I’ve completed two of those highly-touted 16-week cessation programs. I’ve tried hypnosis several times and I’ve fallen for

several television and Internet pro-moted scams. I’ve had a stroke, for crying out loud, and I still wanted a damn cigarette.

Last fall, someone suggested I try an e-cigarette. It’s a battery operated device that delivers a vapor instead of smoke. It feels and tastes a lot like a regular ciga-rette, but without all the smoke and tars and thousands of chemi-cal impurities you get from real smoke. In other words, it’s a much cleaner and less aggravating way of getting a nicotine fix than real tobacco. And unless somebody is sitting right beside you, they never smell a thing.

This writing makes 90 days since I’ve touched a match or lighter to a cigarette. I promise you faithfully that I haven’t even wanted one, but I have panicked a time or two when I couldn’t find my White Cloud Fling.

I have no idea if it’s safer, because I’m still getting nico-tine. But I can tell you that I feel and breathe better than I have in decades and I can’t imagine going

back to real smoke.I tried 11 different brands and

styles before settling on White Cloud disposables which I find to be the most reliable, realistic and economical e-cigarettes on the market and, by far, the most truthfully advertised. Simply do an Internet search for whitecloud-fling.com.

However, if you’ve quit smok-ing, DO NOT DO THIS or use it as an excuse to start back. If you’ve never smoked a ciga-rette, THIS IS NOT A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE.

Read everything you can find on the pros and cons of electronic cigarettes before you even try one and then make up your mind. There’s a ton of mostly conflict-ing information on the Internet and even health professionals hold widely varying opinions.

It may turn out that I’m still killing myself just as rapidly as I would be with the real thing or maybe even faster. But at least Loretta is not yelling at me for stinking up the atmosphere.

YOU & YOURS GUIDELINES

Daily BiBie ThoughT

Gary SchatzAssociated Press

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Second baseman Brandon Phillips is embrac-ing the chance to bat lower in the Cincinnati Reds’ order.

Phillips has been Cincinnati’s most versatile hitter, moving from spot to spot whenever there’s been an injury. He’s led off a lot because the Reds haven’t had a proven top-of-the-order hitter. He’s also hit in the second, third and cleanup spots.

The Reds acquired Shin-Soo Choo from Cleveland in an offseason trade, giving them someone to bat first. Now Phillips can move down a bit to a spot that fits him better. He says he likes batting third best of all, but is willing to move around if needed.

“The player that will benefit the most with Choo here is Brandon Phillips,” general manager Walt Jocketty said.

“He has been all over the lineup and has been great about it, but we think his best spot in the order is second.”

Phillips has gotten used to moving around in the batting order and doesn’t mind where he hits. He prefers the No. 3 spot.

“If I could hit anywhere, I would like to hit third like I did in ‘07,” Phillips said. “I feel like I can do everything that I want to do. I feel like a total ballplayer. Also, you feel like you’re the man when you hit third.”

Phillips batted third just 17 times in 2007, hitting .239 in that slot. He bat-ted fourth in 81 games and hit .306. He prefers that to batting second.

“When you bat second, you’ve got to get the guys over, there are a lot of hit-and-runs,” Phillips said. “You don’t get to steal that often. You’re like the setup man in the lineup.

“Whatever they want me to do to make the team better, I’ll do it. I just

want to win.”Manager Dusty Baker and his team-

mates have praised Phillips for his will-ingness to move around in the batting order. Baker has referred to him as his most valuable player for his versatility in the batting order.

Even though Phillips has moved around in the batting order, he has remained a productive hitter.

“It’s good to see Dusty and my team-mates really respect that,” Phillips said.

“There are not too many guys who can do what I do.”

Phillips finds it difficult to set indi-vidual goals, but he is quick to identify team goals. The Reds have won the NL Central in two of the last three seasons, but failed to make it past the first round of the playoffs.

“I want to get to the next round of the playoffs,” he said. “I want to start there. Of course the goal every year is to win the ring, but I feel like you’ve got to take steps.

“As for myself, it’s kind of hard because every time I set a goal, I have to change somewhere in the batting order. It’s kind of hard to reach those goals. Like one year I was trying to get 100 RBIs when I hit fourth, then I had to bat leadoff. Then I wanted to score 100 runs and they put me back to fourth.

“There are so many things that it’s hard to set goals for myself.”

Cardinals still in hunt for Big East title

LOUISVILLE (AP) — Louisville coach Rick Pitino challenged his team after a five-overtime loss at Notre Dame: finish the regular season with a seven-game winning streak.

The Cardinals (21-5, 9-4 Big East) have responded and are looking for their third straight win when they host Seton Hall (13-14, 2-12) Saturday.

Pitino said he wanted to get past the 104-101 loss on Feb. 9, when Louisville controlled every period except the final one. He told his players last week that to get it done, they needed to improve in individu-ally tailored areas.

For Cardinals forwards Chane Behanan and Montrezl Harrell, that means focusing on free throws, while guard Russ Smith works on passing. Pitino wants center Gorgui Dieng to take more jump shots and floor leader Peyton Siva to continue to let the game come to him.

If the Cardinals continue to improve and can show the same defensive focus they had in Sunday’s 59-41 win at South Florida, the regular season title remains within reach. Louisville is a game behind Syracuse, Georgetown and Marquette — all tied for first.

Not a bad recovery for the Cardinals, who lost to Syracuse, Villanova and Georgetown successively after being ranked No. 1 in late January. And especially after Louisville’s heartbreaking loss against the Fighting Irish.

Consistent performances from Behanan and Smith are critical for the Cardinals. Pitino said Behanan — the West Regional’s most outstanding player during Louisville’s Final Four run last spring — can match the talent of Indiana’s Victor Oladipo, one of nation’s top players this season, but not his concentration.

Kentucky seeks quality win vs. MissouriGary GravesAssociated Press

LEXINGTON — Kentucky is looking for its second victory without injured center Nerlens Noel, and to add another qual-ity win to its postseason cre-dentials.

The Wildcats (18-8, 9-4 Southeastern Conference) get their chance Saturday night against Missouri (19-7, 8-5).

Kentucky’s goal is to win its final five SEC games and boost its chances of earning an at-large NCAA tournament bid — if needed.

After Missouri, Kentucky still has to get past Arkansas and first-place Florida, the only teams with winning records left on the Wildcats’ schedule. But the defending national champi-ons say they are only focused on a Missouri squad looking to build on its victory Tuesday over fifth-ranked Florida.

The Wildcats don’t have

much room for error — they have only one win over a ranked opponent, 87-74 against then 16th-ranked Mississippi — but regained some of their con-fidence in Wednesday night’s 74-70 win over Vanderbilt. They hope to boost their self-esteem even more in the mar-quee matchup of ESPN’s “Game Day.”

“It’s a game that we need to win,” Kentucky guard Archie Goodwin said. “At this point in the season, that’s how it is for a majority of teams. We’re just one of those teams that’s up against it right now and we’ve got to go out there and prove that we belong.”

Kentucky needs to continue to prove it can win again with-out Noel, sidelined for the sea-son after tearing his left ante-rior cruciate ligament against

Florida on Feb. 12. The 6-foot-10 freshman shot blocker was courtside on Wednesday night, and his presence helped inspire his teammates to bounce back from a blowout loss at Tennessee.

The Wildcats’ played their most efficient game in a while,

an effort they hope to duplicate against Missouri.

They committed just seven turn-overs, outscored the Commodores 38-24 in the paint and outrebounded

them 36-30. Despite allowing Vanderbilt to close within two late in the game, Kentucky didn’t wilt as several players responded to the challenge to preserve the victory.

No one was more of a fac-tor than 7-foot freshman center Willie Cauley-Stein, whose two blocks nine seconds apart in the final minute thwarted the

Commodores’ comeback. He rejected three shots overall, to go along with a career-high 20 points and seven rebounds — serving notice Kentucky still has a post presence even with Noel sidelined.

“We needed good things to happen. We need to continue to have good things to happen,” Wildcats coach John Calipari said Friday. “Willie said, ‘as long as everybody does their thing, I can do my thing. But you can’t just throw me the ball after you don’t want to make a play and say, go ahead, do something. I can’t play that way…’

“Well, guess what? That’s what we’ve been begging from guys. I need my point guard to play that way, but I need Archie and Alex Poythress and Kyle Wiltjer and Jarrod Polson, we need them all to play that way.”

Spreading the floor offen-sively helped get the guards more involved and the move

seemed to ignite sophomore point guard Ryan Harrow, a non-factor the previous two games. Earlier in the week Harrow went to Calipari and asked to start again. And after he re-joined the starting group, he redeemed himself with 12 points and four of the Wildcats’ 14 assists. For one game at least, his performance helped restore the guard play that had been missing for the Wildcats.

Goodwin, Kentucky’s leading scorer averaging 13.7 points, also bounced back with 16 points on 7 of 14 shooting and three assists. Julius Mays added nine points and a team-high six assists, which could help renew Big Blue Nation’s faith in a backcourt that has battled inconsistency all sea-son.

“It’s the way I like to play and it’s the way the guards like to play because we can work the floor,” Poythress said of Kentucky’s new look.

HC unable to shake slow startJohn MiddletonSports Editor

Harlan County dug itself a hole in the first quarter and was forced to spend the rest of Friday’s 52nd District cham-pionship trying to find a way out. Unfortunately, the Lady Bears’ comeback bid fell just short in a 54-48 loss to Bell County.

Harlan County struggled to generate anything offensively in the first quarter as Bell County jumped out to the early lead. Sophomore Maci Morris had 10 of her game-high 26 points in the opening period to put the Lady Cats up 16-5.

“I think we ended up win-ning a couple of quarters after that. It was just that initial quarter where we were timid and against a good team,” said Harlan County coach Anthony Nolan. “We have to quit wait-ing until the fourth quarter. We played not to lose early. I think we were a little intimi-dated.”

Harlan County went back to what it does best to close the gap in the second quar-ter. The Lady Bears limited Bell County to just one made field goal in the period to reduce the deficit to seven. After back-to-back baskets from Lauren Lee, freshman Brooklyn Massingill drained a 3-pointer with at the 3:21 mark to close to within three. The Lady Bears were unable to get any closer the rest of the half as Jessica Sanders answered with four straight points to push the lead back to seven, where it remained at the half.

Paul NewberryAP Sports Writer

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Jason Heyward has already filmed a TV com-mercial this spring with none other than Hank Aaron.

On this day, the J-Hey Kid is changing into his white Atlanta Braves uniform for yet another photo shoot.

Heyward is in demand — again — and better get used to it. With the retirement of Chipper Jones, the big guy in right field is poised to take over as the face of the franchise.

“It’s sort of a new team,” Heyward said Thursday, before heading out to take care of his latest obligation. “It’s a new team that’s going to have some fun this season.”

A year ago, he came into spring training facing major questions after a hugely dis-appointing second season. But Heyward insisted all along that he merely needed to stay healthy to live up to the potential he showed as a rookie star.

Boy, was he right.Heyward played in 158

games, helping the Braves claim an NL wild card by hit-ting .269 with 27 homers, 82 RBIs and 21 stolen bases.

A more important number is 23.

That’s Heyward’s age, sig-naling a player who is only beginning to tap into his potential. The bandwagon is starting to get crowded, much like it was in 2010 when he hit a three-run homer the first time he stepped to the plate in the big leagues.

None of that matters to Heyward, who insists he’s never paid much attention to what’s being said beyond the field — both the flattering and not so flattering.

“I don’t worry about any of the outside stuff,” he said, one day before the Braves’ spring opener against the defending AL champion Detroit Tigers. “The clubhouse

is where it counts, man. Besides, I’m always going to be my biggest critic. But at the end of the day, you’ve got to be healthy. I can’t stress that enough. You’ve got to be healthy to play games and get the most out of yourself. That’s what I was most proud of last year: being able to play 158 times.”

Jason Heyward back on track with Atlanta Braves

“Wah Wah” honored

Vicki Blakley| Daily EnterpriseThe legendary Wallace "Wah Wah" Jones, a former Harlan High School and University of Kentucky standout, was honored for his recent induction into the KHSAA Hall of Fame. Jones was unable to attend the event so his nephew, John Jones, left, accepted the honor on his behalf. Harlan girls coach Derrick Akal, center, and boys coach David Parks, right, accepted posters outlining the characteristics required for a winning formula for athletes.

The teams traded points in the third quarter, with Bell County maintain-ing a seven-point lead. A jumper from Morris stretched the lead to nine, but Lee answered with a 3-pointer to pull the Lady Bears to within six with 4:50 left in the period. Harlan County got as close as six five times in the third, but the Lady Cats responded on each occasion. Senior Madison Cornett paced the Lady Bears with six points in the period.

“I knew it was going to be a dog fight and it was. I told girls at halftime that (Harlan County) wasn’t going to quit. I told them we had to meet the intensity that they brought,” said Bell County coach David Teague. “I am tickled to death with these girls. They battled and we have worked — I couldn’t be more pleased for them.”

A pair of free throws by Sanders gave Bell County an 11-point lead just over two minutes in the fourth quarter, but Harlan County refused to go away quietly. Kaitlyn Stittums answered with a pair of free throws, and Massingill followed with four straight points to closed the gap to 40-35 with 3:52 remaining in the contest. Stittums drained a pair of free throws with 1:04 left to make it a two-point game, but Morris matched her with a pair on the opposite end. Morgan Garnett then sealed the win with a pair of free throws with 34 seconds left to extend the lead to six.

“They extended that pressure up there, so there were going to be some fouls. We made them when we needed to. I give those girls credit,” said Teague. “That is what it takes.”

Stittums took over down the stretch for Harlan County, scoring the team’s final 10 points.

“I was really proud of the way she attacked the basket, and playing through three of four fouls there at the end. She

was in foul trouble early, but she played through it,” Nolan said.

Bell County preserved the lead at the free throw line. The Lady Cats hit 16-of-20 attempts in the final period, and were 31-for-43 from the charity stripe in the contest. Meanwhile, Harlan County con-verted 16-of-25 free throw attempts.

“It’s pretty tough to win when a team shoots 43 free throws. That is the biggest discrepancy. I don’t think our big people got rewarded by going to the free throw line when they had position,” Nolan said.

Both teams will advance to next week’s 13th Region Tournament at Harlan County High School. Bell County (25-5) will face a district runner-up in next week’s regional tournament, while Harlan County (25-6) will face a district champion.

“Getting back home and playing in the regional tournament was the goal. We came up short tonight, but we will regroup and get ready for next week,” Nolan said.

Morris was named the 52nd District Tournament’s Most Valuable player. Joining her on the all-tournament team were: Bell County — Paige Robbins, Kelli Smith, Jessica Sanders and Morgan Garnett; Harlan — Jordan Brock and Jourdan Ledford; Harlan County — Brooklyn Massingill, Sarah Evans, Kaitlyn Stittums and Madison Cornett; Middlesboro — Carissa Padgett and Blair Green.

Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) Chief Steve Conrad, left, and Kentucky State Police (KSP) Commissioner Rodney Brewer, right, display a new HERO bumper sticker that represents a partnership between the agencies designed to save lives by promoting the use of designated drivers.

The sticker will appear on 900 LMPD vehicles and 1,600 KSP vehi-cles. The HERO Campaign’s mission is to end drunk-driving fatalities, injuries and accidents nationwide by promot-ing designated driving and remind-ing the public to drive sober. It was established by the family of U.S. Navy Ensign John Elliott of Atlantic County, N.J., who was killed in 2000 in a head-on collision with a drunken driver.

The campaign works in cooperation with schools, businesses, law enforce-ment agencies and other community-based organizations to promote the use of safe and sober designated drivers to prevent drunken driving tragedies. Businesses, including bars, taverns and restaurants, are invited to display posters and window decals identifying the locations as HERO sites and are asked to serve free soft drinks to sober designated drivers.

Law enforcement agencies can participate by displaying HERO Campaign decals on their cars and schools are being encouraged to start HERO Campaign chapters and inte-grate the campaign into their DUI prevention and educational programs.

For more information on the HERO Campaign, visit http://kentuckyheroes.org/.

Steve RoarkContributing Columnist

Trees are a long term invest-ment and need some occasion-al maintenance to keep them healthy. What follows are a couple of tree care projects that I often see mishandled.

PROPER PRUNINGPruning is not something

you do every year, but occa-sionally you do need to prune up a tree to provide clearance below it, or to remove a broken or dead branch. It is critical that the pruning cut be done at the right place or the tree won’t heal right and could eventually develop wood decay issues.

Always cut a branch near a junction. If you look close there is a slight swell at base of the branch, called the branch col-lar. Prune just above the swell so you don’t leave a stub. This is critical because a tree always heals over at junctions. If you cut the branch and leave a stub,

the tree will try to scab over at the base of the stub where it’s attached, but can’t because the stub’s in the way. So the stub eventually decays and can pos-sibly transfer decay on into the tree. So stub cuts bad, junction cuts good.

And while on the subject of stub cutting, please don’t do what is called tree topping, where major limbs and branch-es are cut back to a certain height, leaving a lot of really big stubs. It’s done primarily to reduce the height of the tree because the owner is afraid it will get too big, or to keep it out of utility lines.

If you are tempted to have a tree topped, take a drive dur-ing the winter when leaves are off and look for trees that have been topped for a number of years. You will likely see badly decayed major limbs that will eventually lead to the trees’ early removal. Remember, stub cuts bad! Junction cuts good!

PROTECTION FROM EQUIPMENT

Another common problem I see with young trees that have thin bark is wounding near the ground from lawn mower or trimming equipment. Bark is the protective skin of the tree, and like us an open wound can

become infected. With trees the most common infection is a decay fungus called Heartrot. If the wounding is severe enough it can girdle the tree and kill it outright. It does not make sense to spend good money on a landscape plant and then have to take it down if a few

years because of decay.So bottom line: keep the

equipment away from the tree base. We are tempted to get really close with equipment to keep from having to hand trim the grass near the tree. You may get away with it for a while, but eventually you will ding the tree. So your options are either to suck it up and do the hand clipping use herbi-cides to keep the grass knocked down near the tree, or mulch around the tree.

Mulching is the better option, as it looks good and can help keep the soil moist. Just remember that more is not bet-ter. About 3 inches is as thick as you should apply it. If you put too much, it tends to pack down and shed water instead of letting it soak in. Also, don’t pile the mulch against the tree base, as this will cause the bark to be too moist, making it soft and susceptible to mold or decay issues.

Today’s Answers

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013:

This year others are drawn to you like a bear is to honey. Many doors open up as a result. There is a theme of confusion that rides through your communication. You will learn to confirm meetings and question that which does not sound logical. If you are single, it might be difficult to get a relationship off the ground. The period prior to summer will be excellent for meeting potential suitors. If you are attached, the two of you will need to work on your communication, as misunderstandings tend to occur too easily. LEO makes you smile.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be mulling a lot

over. You could have some difficulty tossing yourself into whatever might be occurring around you. A loved one knows how to entice you. Once you let go of the issue at hand, you will start living in the moment. Tonight: Let the good times happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You hear from a friend and

decide to invite him or her to a late brunch or dinner. Entertain from home or go to a place nearby. Structure your weekend near home base. Someone at a distance might need more of your time. Make this a prior-ity. Tonight: Where your friends are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Your sense of direction

takes you right out the door after making calls. Meet a friend with whom you have made plans. Your levity and humor make all the dif-ference in what occurs. Touch base with an older family member. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might not like every-

thing about your plans right now. Apparently, your budget is not the same as a family member’s. You will find a way to adapt, or you’ll figure out how to let this person know that downscaling would be a good idea. Tonight: Enjoy yourself wherever you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH If you want to take off for a

day trip, do. Just don’t be surprised if you encounter a snafu along the way. Communication about meeting times and places could be the source of the problem. You might be happiest getting together with a close friend. Tonight: Initiate a talk.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Take some much-needed

private time. Catch up on emails, or just be a couch potato. You could be taken aback by the many options that appear. You understand a lot more than you originally thought. A partner surprises you. Tonight: You do not need to explain anything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH It could be a hassle to

change plans or do something very different. Be honest with yourself, and know that you might not have a choice. You grasp the importance of a special person at a distance. Allow in more playfulness. Tonight: Wherever you are, others will follow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH A friend could be difficult or

out of sorts. Call this person and listen to what he or she has to say. Money dealings will need to be observed much more carefully than they have been in the past. You could need some downtime to recharge your bat-tery. Tonight: To the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might decide to break

through the veil of confusion that sur-rounds you and others. You are in a changeable period right now. During the next few weeks, you could see the flaws in your thinking, or where you need to make a change. Tonight: Say “yes” to an adventure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal with a loved one

directly. The topic at hand might be more difficult than you would have liked. If you believe you will have a quick conclusion to this discussion, think again. A misunderstanding is weaving through this conversation. Tonight: Agree to an offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Defer to others, and you

will have less difficulty. However, if your anger suddenly flares up, remember that you let others take the lead. In the future, it might be a good idea not to get involved. Tonight: The more people around you, the better the night will be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Pace yourself, and get

ahead of what needs to happen. An unexpected twist involving your financ-es could surprise you. Don’t take good luck for granted. A domestic issue will work out much better than you think. Squeeze in some exercise. Tonight: You do not have to go far.

Hard grace can only be experiencedIt was extremely important

for the church of my youth to prove that every single miracle in the Bible be prov-

en as an historical and scientific fact. A literal seven day cre-ation, the plagues on Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, Joshua making the sun stand still, the Hebrew children surviving the fiery furnace, and of course, there was the story of “Jonah and the Whale.”

As the story goes, Jonah was a rebel-lious prophet who would not follow God’s instructions. In an attempt to escape his vocation, he boarded a ship and took to the sea. He quickly found himself thrown overboard and then swallowed whole by a whale of the deep. Dear Jonah spent the next three days in the cramped quarters of

the behemoth’s belly.Being one of those bibli-

cal stories that defied logical explanation, my pastor would return to the tale time and time again to make sure, I assume, that the congregation had not been bluffed into disbelief by

the humanists and Darwinians who assaulted our faith. To bolster that faith, he would tell this backhanded story.

It seems a young girl was talking to her science teacher about whales when the teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human being. The little girl protested,

stating that the prophet Jonah had indeed been swallowed by a whale. The teacher reiterated that such a thing was impos-sible.

So the little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.” The teacher, a bit brusque, asked the girl, “Well, what if Jonah went to hell?” The little girl replied, “Then you will have to ask him.” This punch line was always met by hysterical laugh-ter, derision aimed at those who dared not believe the validity and veracity of Jonah’s story.

Pardon the pun, but the whale in Jonah’s story is too often a red herring. We get all tangled up in the scientific plausibil-ity of such an act taking place, and miss the point of the whole story. Jonah’s tale is not a scientific treatise. It is a story about God’s relentless, patient, persistent, and sometimes hard grace. Hard grace: What is it that, exactly?

Hard grace is Jonah in the belly of the whale. How is that grace? If that big fish had not arrived to gobble down Jonah, he would have drowned in the depths of the sea. The whale

was not Jonah’s undoing. It was his salvation. The belly of that whale became the incubator – indeed a painful, disgusting, cramped incubator – in which mercy took root, rescued and transformed him. That is hard grace, and Jonah is not the only one to experience such a thing.

God’s mercy often comes to us by painful means. Heaven’s love can wear a disguise. The circumstances that lead to our transformation are sometimes delivered in strange packag-ing. Hard grace arrives at our doorsteps as sickness, financial collapse, divorce, betrayal, bank-ruptcy, addiction, injustice, self-inflicted wounds, foolish deci-sions and personal rebellion.

Hard grace is all those things that God allows into our lives that deconstruct us. Yet, our deconstruction is not our destruction. It is for the merci-ful purpose of our transforma-tions and remaking. We are not left to drown in the trouble of

our own making. God’s fero-cious mercy does not abandon us, but comes to us in the strange and disguised goodness of a hungry whale and gobbles us down; providing a place to learn, grow, change, and get on with the life God has for us. It hurts us, yes, but hard grace never harms us.

I wish this kind of hard, trans-formative grace could be taught, for it would save us all much agony, but it can’t be. Hard grace can only be experienced. But once it is experienced, and we never wish for a repeat per-formance, mind you, we become changed people. As Julian of Norwich said, “There is the fall and then there is the recovery. Both are the mercy of God.” Such mercy is the greatest miracle of all.

When God is no longer enoughGod asked a seri-

ous question of His people in the prophet

Jeremiah’s day, “Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cis-terns, that can hold no water.” (Jeremiah 2:11-13)

Today, we might ask, “Would America forsake the God of our founding Fathers”? Did you know that 52 of the 55 sign-ers of the Declaration of Independence were deep-ly-committed Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of Scripture, and His per-sonal intervention. It is the same Congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase 20,000

copies of Scripture for the people of this nation.

What has been the position of many of our Presidents? George Washington: “It is impos-sible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” John Quincy Adams: “So great is my veneration of the Bible, that the earlier my chil-dren begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respect-able members of society.” Andrew Jackson: “That book, sir, is the rock on which our republic rests.” Abraham Lincoln: “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good

from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this Book.” Woodrow Wilson: “I ask every man and woman in this audience that from this day on they will real-ize that part of the des-tiny of America lies in their daily reading and use of the Bible.” Herbert Hoover: “The whole of the inspiration of our civi-lization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the proph-ets. To read the Bible for these fundamentals is a necessity of American life.” Dwight Eisenhower: “To read the Bible is to take a trip to a fair land where the spirit is strengthened and faith renewed.

When God is no longer enough, we will substi-tute something for God, “Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?” (Jeremiah 2:5). We find substitutes for God’s presence such as: trusting people and political action more than God; substi-tuting emotionalism for experiencing God’s pres-ence in worship; substi-tuting religious ritual for

experiencing God’s pres-ence in worship; substi-tuting entertainment for experiencing God’s pres-ence in worship; substi-tuting church work for a personal relationship with Christ; substituting Bible study and prayer for a personal relationship with Christ.

We will also find substi-tutes for God’s purposes such as: spending more time and resources on ourselves and our church than on those in need around us; caring more about people’s physi-cal condition than their spiritual condition; being content with those mem-bers who do attend church with no concern for those who have gone astray; settling for a decision for baptism and church membership rather than being sure the person is genuinely converted and properly trained.

Unable to be satisfied, we will find substitutes for God’s ways such as: walking by sight and doing only what we know we can do; promoting our-selves rather than denying ourselves; living by the world’s ways rather than God’s ways.

When God is no lon-ger enough we eventu-

ally fall into backsliding. Our Backsliding should be obvious, “Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.” (Jeremiah 2:19) We forget the serious-ness of sin, “thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.” (Jeremiah 2:20) We forget that sin is unnatural, “Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?” (Jeremiah 2:21) We forget that sin leaves a visible mark, “For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.” (Jeremiah 2:22)

When God is no longer enough, we tend to for-get that God’s judgment is certain. God is not asleep, “Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, say-ing, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see

a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:11-12) In the deadness of winter we sometimes forget that the deadness will give way to new life in the spring. God is not dead and we can be sure that our substitutes for God will not go unno-ticed. Persistent rebellion will bring an outpouring of God’s judgment, “And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north. Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.” (Jeremiah 1:13-14) When God’s judgment begins, it is like a tipped over pot that drenches every-thing in its path. When you are tempted to sub-stitute something in the place of God, never for-get that anything more than God is in reality less than God. Let us never reach the point of failing to recognize the supreme sufficiency of God in all things. To God be the Glory!

Awaiting the arrival of spring

Winter is offi-cially over this year on March 20.

Just a little research on this matter causes my head to spin.

I have learned that the arrival of spring has to do with the Northern Hemisphere, but do not expect me to explain this please. When I think of winter I think of no leaves on the trees and snow. My best sum-mer memory of winter

Sunday school lesson Putting an end to hatred, killing —Luke 10:25-37

It hasn’t always been this way. There was once a time when the tranquil scenes captured by Norman Rockwell, the famous

artist and illustrator whose pictures graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post for more than forty years, were taken from everyday life and not one’s imagination. It would seem that those nostalgic images of a long since vanished?

Doesn’t the world seem angry? Recently a man went on a kill-ing spree because he did not get the job he thought he deserved. When all was said and done, Dorner had killed himself and four other people. A young couple was mur-dered simply because they were related to a policeman who had unsuccessfully tried to help him. In the days leading up to and fol-lowing his suicide some 27,000 people signed a Facebook petition sid-ing with the Dorner, condemning his acts of violence but believing he was justifiable angry.

How about a recent YouTube video showing a man brutally whipped. In a matter of a few days the video went viral. Then there are the ugly words, belit-tling laughs and outright lies told by media pundits and politicians; where is all this venom coming from?

These events and others like them have spawned an outpour-ing of ideas on how to stem this most recent wave of hatred and

killing. Everyone from politicians to psychologist, commentators to Hollywood icons have volunteered their thoughts on how to put an end to it all and return our country and world to peace.

Could this seeming escalation of anger, violence, and mean-spir-itedness be a result of our society asking God to take a backseat and actively working to help Him into it? In other words, is this what hap-pens when a culture ignores Jesus and His teachings?

This study is taking us on a journey from the cradle to the cross as told by the gospel writer Luke. In this lesson we hear Jesus teach about how a person is to love God and how one’s love for God should affect oth-ers. Take a moment and read Luke 10:25-37. In this familiar story, known as “The Parable of the Good Samaritan,” Jesus shares with a man what real love looks like; even more, what

real love acts like.The story begins as “an expert

in the law stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he asked, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’” (v.25) It’s hard to know if this man was seri-ous since Luke wrote that he was testing Jesus. At any rate, Jesus answers the man’s question with a question, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” (v.26). To this the man replies, “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with

all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (v.27) Jesus then said, “You have answered correctly. Do this and you will live.” (v.28)

The remedy for ending the crazi-ness around us is found in the two statements: Love God totally and love others as you love yourself. Sadly, the first of these has been ruled inflammatory, inadmissible and by some unconstitutional and thus should not enter into the public dialogue. The very answer to our need has been mocked by Hollywood, silenced in Washington, relegated to the archaic and ridiculous in our col-leges in universities, and outlawed in our public schools. Discouraging yes, surprising no.

In light of these realities, what are Christians to do? First, we keep the story of the Good Samaritan in context. Jesus is answering the question raised by one person. Could Jesus be teaching His people that a great place to have the same conversation He had is in a living room, a dorm room or a locker room? In that forum Christians have an opportunity to calmly carry on a dialogue just as Jesus did. No public debate to win, no diatribe to stir up the crowd and cloud the discussion, just a quiet dialogue on a disquieting need.

Context will also teach us that Jesus shared with the man how he should act. He could demonstrate his love for God by how he treated others. Jesus did this by telling the story of a man mugged while on a trip. He was robbed, beaten, and left for dead (v.30). Later three men happened by, two who worked

for God, a priest and a Temple worker, and one, a Samaritan, who most folks thought was rejected by God (vv.31-33). In the end the men who worked for God showed no compassion for the badly injured and possibly dying man. Since they didn’t loved others could they hon-estly say that they loved God? The Samaritan, on the other hand, dem-onstrated his love for God by risk-ing his life; the thieves may have still been lurking about. He also gave sacrificially by tending to the injured man’s needs, both immedi-ate and long term (vv.34-35). As Jesus closed His story, He told the man who started the conversation to go and do as the Samaritan did (v37).

Our world seems to have gone nuts in these early days of the twenty-first century - hatred spew-ing, killings indiscriminate and senseless, anger abounding. The answer to our present need for compassion is not found in modern psychobabble but in the simple words of Jesus explaining to a man how one can find eternal life. When we love God totally we are enabled to love others the same way.

Wouldn’t it be great if this mes-sage was proclaimed from the steps of every statehouse in the land, in the halls of congress and from the Oval Office? Wouldn’t it be wonder-ful to hear it seriously debated and considered in the classrooms across our nation. But that probably won’t happen. So let’s take it onto the living rooms of our homes, the dorm rooms of our schools and the offices of our legislators and as Jesus did, share the message to one heart at a time.

occurred when I was a youngster growing up. I remember playing basketball on the school playground and the tem-perature was like 70 plus degrees. When it comes to the worst winter memory I think about the big winter storm that crippled southeastern Kentucky back in the late 90s.

One of the reasons I think about trees with no leaves in the winter is because it is a deceiv-ing look. It may appear that things are dead, but that is far from the truth. There is plenty of life underneath the ground, it’s just impossible to see. The only evidence of life would be the evergreen trees. Personally I think they are not the best looking trees I have ever looked at, but certainly against the barren earth in the dead of winter, I think they are quite beau-tiful as a reminder of life when everything seems dead.

Bette Midler’s lyrics to “The Rose,” are all about love and how it was lying in wait beneath the ground. I can eas-ily make the adjustment from her example of love to life. I can really get excited thinking about all the things that are not seen, yet that are real and alive. Beneath the bitter snow often life can give the impression there is no hope, or very little hope for sure.

The opposite is the truth. There is hope but we must have faith to

believe, understanding, preparation and work to experience the harvest of life. In the song “The Rose” the closing line suggests that if one is willing to wait, allow time to pass, and con-tinue to wait, in time the seed will become a rose. There is much to learn about love and seed planting from the song and life and waiting from experience.

In the Bible there are several scriptures that provide us wisdom with respect to all four of these thoughts. When I think about love I think about John 15:13. “No

greater love than this, when one lays down their life for another.” On the thought of seeds and planting, 2 Corinthians 9:6 come to mind.

This scripture par-ticularly is very straight forward. If you go about life in a withheld, with-drawn, conservative manner of investing in life, then the results are guaranteed. If you do this sparingly then you will reap the same results. The flip side is also true. If you go about life in a bountiful way, then you can expect that this will be the return you receive. When I think about my

years on earth I am ready with an answer imme-diately as to the results I want to experience. I want the best experience and by my standards that involve me loving others, and having faith in them that believes not only the very best for them, but if the results are just the opposite, my friendship is solid and not going anywhere.

My standards include sharing. Spreading seeds I think of as doing good for others and doing a lot of it everywhere. I do not want to be someone that just spreads the seeds in the places that

are friendly; I’m familiar with or with people I know, but all people and this will include covering new ground too.

Each day you and I have an opportunity to decide how we will interact with folks and how we will respond to situations that present themselves before us.

Life is full of many moments and we can set the expectation as to how we view life by what we share and the man-ner in which we share. As a Christian I have a responsibility to share because of what Jesus has done for me. I want

to share however not out of obligation but because I know He is the answer and I want you to know it too. There is a rose in each and every one of us.

It is also truth that we might each be living in a different season at the same time. You might be a blooming rose at this very moment or you might be a seed waiting on the arrival of spring. Understanding life is a cycle will not only pre-pare you for the experi-ences of life but it will prepare you for the all the different steps you will be taking in the jour-ney too.

Host a deliciously fresh brunchFamily Features

Meals just taste better when you make them with fresh ingre-dients. So when you’re hosting a brunch, look for recipes that make the most of fresh, sea-sonal flavors, and ingredients that come from close to home. In-season fruits and vegetables tend to be better quality, have better flavor, and be less expen-sive. Whether you grow them yourself or get them at a farm-ers market or grocery store, take advantage of vitamin-rich produce at its peak. Use them in recipes or serve as part of a fruit and cheese plate.

Turn fresh produce into a beautiful centerpiece. Fill a bowl with colorful whole fruits and fresh flowers; or add citrus slices and small fruits to a bowl of water with floating candles.

Plan a variety of easy-to-make brunch dishes to satisfy guests. Quiches with fresh vegetables, make-ahead savory casseroles, and fresh fruit med-

leys or leafy green salads all make great brunch choices.

This delightful brunch recipe for Strawberry Ricotta Stuffed Whole Grain French Toast pairs ripe, juicy strawberries with Roman Meal whole grain bread and a decadent creamy filling. A good source of vita-min D and fiber, and an excel-lent source of calcium, Roman Meal Original (Sandwich and Round Top) bread has 21 grams of whole grains per serv-ing. And because it’s baked in regional bakeries across the United States, it’s never frozen or shipped long distances, giv-ing you another way to add freshness to your table.

Tickle your taste buds — lunch with a crunchFamily Features

There was a time when an apple was the last place you would look to experiment with new flavors in the produce sec-tion. But today, there are near-ly 100 commercial varieties to choose from, each with unique characteristics to tickle your taste buds.

One new variety called Opal is grown in Washington and offers a complex flavor that starts sweet and finishes with a slight tang. Vibrantly yellow and super crunchy, these apples are per-fect for fresh salads and side

dishes. And, unlike many types of apples, Opals naturally resist oxidation after cutting, which keeps them fresh and delicious for a lunch prepared before you head out for work, or snacking through the day.

An added benefit is that when you buy Opal apples, you are helping to fund the Youth Make a Difference Initiative grants, which provide funding for youth programs serving communities across the United States.

For a lunch with a crunch, try adding apples in fun and deli-cious ways: Dip apple slices in your favorite nut butter.

Add thin slices of apple to your deli meat sandwich, or layer them with PB and J on raisin bread.

Make your own cracker stack-ers with whole grain crackers, your favorite cheese, smoked tur-key, and apple slices.

Add apples to a delicious salad, such as this spinach and apple salad with dried cherries, which is filled with fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron and antioxi-dants.

Tips to take the guilt out of eating outFamily Features

Counting calories and care-fully choosing every meal doesn’t have to mean you also punish your taste buds – whether dining out or on the go.

“When it comes to your diet, the best approach is often a balanced one. Practicing por-tion control, making smart choices and checking out calor-

ic and nutritional information are all key ‘ingredients’ to long term diet success,” said Lyssie Lakatos, registered dietitian, certified personal trainer, and one half of the Nutrition Twins.

Here are some more helpful tips so you can eat smarter and put your guilt aside:

Know that it is okay to indulge a little. A diet with no room for small treats or por-tions of your favorite foods is

incredibly difficult to maintain in the long term. Go ahead and order your favorite appetizer or a decadent dessert, but limit yourself to a tasting of just a few small bites. Ask your server to box up the rest or share the remainder with your dining companions.

Choose restaurants that publish nutritional infor-mation. Some dishes can be deceiving, so knowing up front

how many calories an entrée contains will help you make better choices. Some eateries offer specialty items that are low in calories but big on taste. “Today you can find great food options like the new Sbarro Skinny Slice that will satisfy your cravings without expand-ing your waistline,” added Tammy Lakatos, registered dietitian, certified personal trainer and the other half of

the Nutrition Twins. With only 270 calories per slice, this bet-ter-for-you pizza is topped with roasted red and green bell pep-pers, portobello mushrooms and sweet, caramelized onions with a sprinkling of mozzarella and Pecorino Romano cheeses.

“What I like is that it’s per-fectly portioned and topped with better-for-you ingredients so that you can get your pizza fix without feeling the guilt.”
