WOMAN ACCUSED
of intentionally harming baby
Betty Hardin
Times-Voice Editor
Marlinda F. Hall
A Breathitt County woman
was arrested last week after
allegedly reporting a false
incident and injuring her twomonth-old child.
According to the arrest
citation, Kentucky State Police
responded to a call on Sept. 16,
where 20-year-old Marlinda F.
Hall, of Jackson, reported she
was pushing her child in a stroller
when an unknown subject on
a four-wheeler ran her and her
baby off the roadway. Hall told
the officer that she pushed the
baby down an embankment
where it hit a concrete barrier
causing a scratch on the child’s
head. In the citation, the officer
described the injuries as “red
and bloody.”
During a follow-up interview
on Little Creek Road three days
later, Hall confessed to making
up the story and doing physical
harm with a pair of tweezers
by making approximately 10
abrasive marks on the child’s
forehead, according to the
citation. Social services was
contacted.
Hall was arrested and taken
to Three Forks Regional Jail
on one count of second-degree
criminal abuse of a child, one
count of falsely reporting an
incident, and one count of
endangering the welfare of a
minor.
Residents rally to keep picture
By Harold Deaton
Times-Voice Reporter
Despite the fact that it was
held during working hours, a
respectable number of people
attended a rally to show their
support for keeping a picture
of Jesus on the wall in the
corridor of the Breathitt County
Courthouse
on
Tuesday,
Sept. 22, 2015. The image
came under fire last month
after Freedom From Religion
Foundation, a Wisconsin group
promoting the separation of
church and state, sent a letter
calling for its removal.
Rally organizer and leadoff
speaker Mike Bryant stated
that the issue here is not one
of getting a picture out of the
courthouse, but has more to

Times-Voice Editor
County Judge Executive JL
Smith updated those present at the
Fiscal Court meeting on FEMA
projects around the county. More
than 200 homes have applied for
individual assistance. Survivors
affected by the July flood can
apply for assistance online until
Oct. 12.
Road
repairs
stemming
from floods and storms are
continuing with the start of the
third assessment phase. Bids for
FEMA projects were opened at
the meeting and will be awarded
after the bids are validated.
The court voted to sign a
resolution for the Big Caney
OHV Looped Trail System and
Recreational Trails Program.
The county intends to file an
application with the Department
of Local Government for
assistance for the Recreational
Trails Program. The federallyfunded program is limited to
funding a maximum of 80 percent
of the proposed project costs
estimated at $124,000, with the
county providing the remaining
portion. The court also voted to
sign a similar resolution for the
multi-county OHV Connector
Trail System.
Judge Smith also discussed
ideas on how the county could
handle providing donations to civic
organizations while maintaining a
budget. Calvin Saum, solid waste
coordinator, discussed a program
in place in Boone County where
civic groups are paid per mile in
return for removing litter around
roadways and writing a letter to
the editor detailing the project.
Judge Smith asked Saum to
research the program.
The court also voted to table
approval of paying the coroner’s
civil penalties associated with a
labor board case. Judge Smith said
the court was still looking to see if
everything in the case was correct.
Judge Smith also reported that as
of Sept. 12, Kentucky’s Secretary
of State officially dissolved the
Watts Volunteer Fire Department
but since then the community had
formed a new coalition. The court
voted to recognize the group as the
Watts Volunteer Fire Department
and to donate $7,500 to the group
to help them as they start anew.
BCS BOE meets
The courthouse hallway now features about a dozen examples of artwork by several Breathitt County artists.
Members of the Breathitt County Board of Education met in regular
session at Highland-Turner Elementary on Tuesday, Sept. 22.
In his report, Superintendent David Gibson presented an optimistic
message regarding the future of the district. Despite historically low
test scores, high unemployment and poverty rates, and aging facilities,
Gibson noted the district could improve and noted that the district would
be funneling its resources to its students.
“It’s exciting to walk into a classroom and see the potential that all of
our kids have,” Gibson said. “I would put Breathitt County students up
against anyone in the world. We have untapped potential here and it’s a
very exciting time. We’ve made progress in the last month in each of our
schools.”
The board voted to sign a memorandum of agreement with
Kentucky River Community Care regarding health and fitness. Under
the agreement, KRCC will train Breathitt County Schools’ staff and
implement Take 10! curriculum in kindergarten through fifth grades, and
Planet Health in sixth through eighth grades, as part of a three-year grant.
KRCC will purchase the equipment, curriculum, and training necessary
to implement the programs while the schools promote physical activity,
collect data and access policies.
Paul Hale presented a request for a senior trip to Washington, DC,
and New York City for March 27-April 2, 2016, and its accompanying
fundraisers. Hale reported that the trip would be an estimated $919 per
student and that students would have plenty of fundraising opportunities
to cover the cost of the trip. Members of the board voted in favor of the
trip.
LBJ Principal Will Noble reported an increased kindergarten
enrollment and requested the creation of an instructional assistant position
at the school for maximum class sizes. The board approved the measure.
The board also voted to abolish the position of the assistant
superintendent along with corresponding extra service.
“At this point, this is not benefitting students,” Gibson said before
the vote. “This funding needs to be put back into our students’ hands.
Our central office staff have increased their workload. I’ve increased my
workload but I think this is better served with the children.”
The board also approved the purchase of two school buses in the 201516 school year, including participation in KISTA, to assist in maintaining
the district’s fleet.
Members of the board also approved declaring an emergency for
Central Office repairs due to existing slipping of precast concrete panels
on the front of the building with regard to the water line break from this
summer.

Cool Clock
By Jeff Allen
“Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We
should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes
America great.” That was the comment from the President of the
United States on the same day Ahmed’s incident went public. Maybe
you are familiar with the story of 14-year-old Ahmed who took the guts
out of an old clock, put them in a pencil case, got the timer working
so the seconds would tick off, and took the little, ticking time box to
MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas which has an enrollment of over
2700 students.
It was not a cool clock. Electronics whizzes looking at a pictures
of it online, determined it was just the internal workings of an old 1980s
model GE alarm clock. So Ahmed’s scientific endeavor amounted to
removing the outer housing of an alarm clock, taking out the internal
workings and putting them in a pencil box.
The president said we need more kids like Ahmed. Does that mean
we should teach all our young children to set timers and rig clocks?
Maybe they could establish a standard in the Common Core and make
it an educational requirement. By the way, Ahmed’s situation occurred
on Sept. 14. That may just be a coincidence, then again, the youngster
may have chickened out of taking it on Friday, Sept. 11.
All across America children have been sent home from school for
wearing a t-shirt with a gun on it or anything that suggests violence.
There was a news story about young children drawing pictures of guns,
and the concern it raised at the school. You cannot take a pocket knife
to school, or a plastic knife or a toy gun. These school safety precautions have been going on for years. We have rules about harassment
and children’s rights and most importantly children’s safety. The
budget for the Department of Homeland Security in the year 2014 was
38.9 billion dollars. Certainly they do more than listen to our phone calls and
read our emails.
Last week I wrote about childish world leaders but I realize I left
out President Obama. I have tried to observe him closely the past eight
years or so. I think many of us have watched him closely. Not until now,
did I realize my concern and interest was rooted in suspicion. I watched
for patriotism. I looked for gestures and listened to comments, trying
to detect hints of him being un-American. I wondered if he had been
American long enough to feel American. Now, I am wondering if he
understands the role of being President of the United States. Presidents
should not tweet. Presidents should not throw out sound bites trying
to sound hip. A president should not publicly support a persistent,
thuggish violator who gets shot while man-handling a police officer
in Ferguson, Mo. A sophisticated, consciensious president does not
make comments that fuel groups like Black Lives Matter. The Black
Lives Matter movement was going full steam around the same time a
19-year-old white boy was shot dead in Arden, SC. He was killed by
a police officer in a Hardees parking lot. The boy had no weapon and
no criminal past, but he was shot twice through the driver side window.
If the president even had a little tweet on the incident, I didn’t see it.
There are so many individual injustices being done throughout our
country, I don’t think it is proper for the President of the United States
to tweet, email, or blog about any of them. If something needs to be
said on a national level by the president it should be directed to society
in general and toward the entire nation. The focus at the presidential
level should be on the mass population, not just Ahmed. Is he just an
innocent young geeky boy who didn’t know any better? Perhaps he
is. Common sense would urge most of us to withhold our opinions
until all the facts are in, but not President Obama. Apparently as soon
as he saw the boy, he could tell Ahmed was an innocent, young child
being profiled by southern redneck conservatives. The president does
not need to wait on facts. He knows where he stands.

PLEASE make plans to
bring everybody you know and
join us for a Community Prayer
& Walk for Breathitt County on
Saturday, Oct. 17, outside the
courthouse in Jackson at 9 a.m.
sharp! As we prayerfully begin
to organize, please pray that God
will hear our cry for our community, all for His glory.
My cousin and faithful prayer
partner, Kelly Price Edmonds and
I have been burdened by and done
much praying for the place we will
always call “home.” Though we
both live out of state, our families
and half our hearts are and will
always be in Breathitt County.
Anyone who’s ever called this
place “home,” likely feels the
same way. For years we have continued to ask each other, “What
can we do? What can be done?”
The drug problem and its effects
on our county are so devastating.
We remember a different, safer,
cleaner Breathitt. We want our
people, especially the children, to
have better. It’s not God’s desire
for anyone to live in bondage and
hard times. I’m far from having
the answers. In fact in many cases
I’ve tried everything I know and
still come up short in trying to
help people. But one thing that
never fails--the one thing, which
is sometimes the only thing we
can do--is to sincerely and continuously pray. And my belief is
that problems and struggles such
as these are attempts in vain to
solve without Christ at the center
of them.
We’ve lost too many lives,
we have people who’ve lost years
of their own lives as productive
members of society and capable,
caretakers of their children. Breathitt County is God’s country; we
need to reclaim it in His name.
Economic prosperity has always
been an uphill battle for eastern
Kentucky, but most recently since
the end of the coal boom. And
the ever-growing drug problem,
which is more and more commonplace, only adds exponentially to
the challenge of improved spiritual as well as financial growth.
There are numerous projects
and ideas in the works and thank
God for these people and their
commitments to improvement.
I’ve been particularly interested in
the Rails to Trails (biking) project
and the potential good it could
bring. Not only could it provide a
great outdoor activity for our own
people to enjoy, but it could be a
terrific attraction for tourism--for
nature-lovers/cyclists and folks
who enjoy immersing themselves
into and learning about an entirely different culture. In college
and after my move to Nashville,
stories from back home that I’ve
shared have captivated countless
people. I’ve always taken pride in
being from our neck of the woods
and sharing our quaint and sometimes quirky, but always beautifully unique ways of life. But it
seems like much of that beauty
of our rich heritage is getting far
overshadowed by the darkness
of the problems we face today
and have been facing for nearly
a couple of decades now. This
may sound harsh, but we have
to be honest with ourselves: Is it
attractive to business or tourism
to invest time or money in a community that has such a prevalent
drug culture?
In absolutely no way do I
have anything but a desire to
help somehow. I sit in no judge’s
seat or one that I believe is the
least bit “better” than another’s.
As I’ve said many times in this
column, we all have our temptations, battles, daily sin. If we are
Christians and/or if we care about
our neighbors and our community, we must help each other. We
people have far more commonalities than differences, though our
differences may seem stark and
insurmountable. My prayer is that
God would use us all, give each
of us humble and caring hearts
that we could be even more active extensions of Him. Will you
be so brave to ask Him this, and
when He presents you with the
opportunity to show mercy and
kindness, offer a kind word or a
helping hand to someone you may
feel is “outside of your comfort
zone?” Many are doing this, more
are needed, and we need to do this
collectively. Can we set aside the
insignificance that so-and-so goes
to a different church, and so-andso may say he’s a Christian, but
it sure doesn’t seem like it? God
deserves better. If these are our
attitudes, we have some work to
do before we can genuinely seek
Him so that He hears us. We’re
going to have to fight our battles
with love and not anger, with
kindness and not condemnation.
We must actively care but not
condone, and recognize it takes
long, hard work.
I’m reminded of a precious
soul who had such a love of this
place. She wasn’t even born or
raised here, but it didn’t matter-she was one of us, maybe more
than many of us natives. The late
Rome Sewell saw how our land
was blessed with nature’s beauty.
She wanted to help many who
didn’t see what she saw or have
the desire to respect our land as
she felt it deserved, so she started
the Keep Breathitt Beautiful Campaign. Not “make” but “keep,” for
she knew it was already made.
God made our county beautiful in so many ways. I’d like to
think we could continue this good
work, keeping the focus on God,
and help Him clean up and Keep
Breathitt Beautiful.
2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my
people, who are called by my
name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways, then
I will hear from heaven, and I
will forgive their sin and will heal
their land.”

We were pleased to have Amos Richardson come visit us last
Sunday. Him and Jonathan talked about how to make molasses’s,
and other old time subjects. Amos was one of my best students when
I taught school at Little Rock in the Curt community.
Ray and Dan are in the process of giving their house a new
paint job. It looks real neat, and clean. Did you know that paint sells
for around $50 a gallon now? That’s’ ridiculous! Or, should I say
absurd? My house needs painting, but I can’t afford it at that price!
I’ve about got all my firewood busted up and in the woodhouse,
now. I guess we can say that winter is just around the corner.
My sister Pat, and her family camped out at Natural Bridge
last week. I think there were about 37. I bet they had a great time.
By the way, Happy Birthday Pat!
Please pray for my nephew and brother in Christ, Jerry Pelfrey.
Pray that the Lord might restore his health.
That’s about all I can think to write right now.
Until next time. Peace.

A friend gave me a devotional book; “The Heavens,” by Kevin
Hartnett. Nearly every morning when I take my blood pressure,
I read a page. This morning I read, in part, Let our hearts praise
our incomparably creative God, who has made all things unique;
every star in the heavens is distinctly different. The planets and
their moons are wonderfully diverse; no two comets are alike, nor
snowflakes, nor people…. (Page 165).”
Psychologists have created “boxes” for personality types.
However, within those boxes are myriad variations. Each person, since Adam, is different in multiple ways from each other
one. Only an Infinite God can create all those unique variables
in finite creatures! A definition for infinite: “Boundless. Endless.
Immeasurably great. Unlimited and immeasurable.” That is a
partial description of our God.
It’s fall, so I need to discard some of my straggly annual
plants and replace them with yellow and purple mums. Pretty! A
lone humming bird is flitting in and out of the scarlet sage (salvia),
as well as a lemony small butterfly; one of my favorites. It is a
true butterfly, the color of butter and lemons. His real name is
Clouded Sulphur or Yellow Sulphur, but I call him Lemonade. At
this season, the most reliable birds at the sunflower seed feeder
are the cardinals; all ages. The parents must have hatched a late
season family. It’s fall, which also means extra activities; Community
Choir practice with Mrs. Bevins meets each Sunday p.m., and our
Women’s Bible Study, meets each Wednesday morning. So, I ease
and groan out of my recliner and “git goin.”
Ray Peale, an extended in-law member of the Herald family
raised on Lick Branch on Turners Creek, passed away at Cynthiana,
and his wife, Becky, brought him back to Buck Herald Cemetery
for burial. Some of us were privileged to sing at the grave side
service. It was good to meet Owen Collins and his good wife. As part of the service, taps was played. The melancholy notes of
the bugle rang out loud and clear over the hills, poignant and sad. Brother Pastor read some words for taps.
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hill,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,

“Try Jesus! Satan will always take you back.”
Happy belated birthday to Christianne Clemons on Sept. 14,
(1984); my niece, Melissa Grob on Sept. 15, (1981); and Minerva
Clemons on the 29, (1954). My sister, Laura Jean Noble, from
North Judson, IN, will celebrate her birthday on Oct. 1, (1946);
and my niece, Michelle Robertson, will celebrate her birthday on
the 4 of Oct. (1978).
Hope all of ya had or will have a great birthday. We love ya
and may God bless y’all.
Happy 39th Anniversary to Billy and Minerva Clemons on
Sept. 25 (1976). That was the year I graduated from Breathitt High
School. Doug sings a song, “Time Has Made A Change In The Old
Home Place”, except I’ll have to insert the word, “ME.” As the
Bible says, “Life is as a vapor.” All we do for the Lord is all that’s
gonna have any value – all else is vanity.
We’d like to extend our sympathy to GENE WATTS, my SIX
MILLION DOLLAR MAN’s family, during this time of his passing.
Years ago, Gene said I had a million dollar smile, so as time went
on, I began to call him my “SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN!” Gene
was a fine man and we often had discussions about his health, etc.
He always had a hug and smile for me. Our thoughts and prayers
are with y’all.
I love this fall-time cool weather! Fall is my favorite time of
year. On Fri. evening, after I picked my great nephew, Ted Austin
Hudson, up after school, we stopped at Walmart to pick up a few
items. As I was starring off in distance, I saw this young girl who
looked just like Kristy with her beautiful smile and her hair pulled
up, as she usually wore it. With sadness in my heart, we came on
home and Kristy had a message on the answering machine. That
evening, I made out a bill out for her to Goody’s. What a coincidence! It was just as if she was going through her normal routine.
Please pray for Doug and me. Not a day goes by that I don’t expect
a phone call, etc. I never thought I’d be facing anything like this.
Why do good people suffer bad things? I’ve been a Christian for 46
years at the end of Sept. (1969). I’m sorry, but it just hurts so bad.
By the way, Austin has some art work displayed at the Breathitt
County Courthouse. Please drop by to see some of it.
SARGE says, “Where will you be spending eternity, smoking
or nonsmoking?” “Is your life running on empty? Free fill-ups at
church every Sunday.” “Those who are rich in love are the richest
of all.”
A BIG Howdy to all our readers. We love ya and may God
continue to richly bless y’all!
GREEN SIDE UP

Certified nurserywoman working at the Garden Center at True Value
It’s officially autumn as of 4:21 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21,
and it’s definitely beginning to seem like it! The days are shorter,
nights longer, temperatures cooler with leaves and acorns falling.
Ready or not, here comes colder weather!
So far the temps haven’t hurt any plants, but it’s time to start
keeping an eye on the nightly lows and thinking about protecting
any tropicals or houseplants that have enjoyed the summer outside.
Many of them need protection once it dips below 50 degrees. Moving them to a more protected area or throwing a sheet over them for
the night can help, but eventually they will need to come indoors.
It’s good to treat them first for possible insect infestation and to
watch for little critters that may have made homes in the pots.
Remember too, that if there is too great a temperature difference when you do move them that they may suffer shock and drop
leaves, so don’t let them get too used to cold and then bring them
into a really warm spot. Make the change more gradual for them
and they will remain healthy and happy. Cut back on fertilizing
since they will be slowing down for the winter.
However, do keep on fertilizing your annuals until they get
zapped. Most of mine are still looking great but as they die out
for the winter, I’ve been pulling them or cutting them off so the
remaining ones look their best. If you’re looking for replacements,
fall pansies are now available and give a great boost of color, often
living (and blooming!) through the winter, especially when we could
use some blooms….Pansies are one of my all-time favorites with
their bright faces and wonderful scent. Keep them deadheaded and
fertilized for best growth.
There are still a few hummingbirds at my feeders but traffic
has really slowed down. We’ve got about six or eight still visiting,
but not the way they were this summer. It seems awfully quiet out
there without their humming. Keep your feeders up for a week after
seeing your last one. There may be more stragglers heading south
and you want them to remember your house as a good place to stay.
Keep on watering any new plantings and any that look wilty.
It’s really dry out there. Pray for rain.

Pictures hung on nearly every inch of the walls of Granny’s old
house. Images of presidents, princes, popes, and politicians were
placed indiscriminately amongst those of her own family. I recall a
faded likeness of the Dionne quintuplets in one bedroom, as well as
a collage of Granny’s 24 grandchildren in the living room. Over the
door was a framed front page of Life Magazine depicting President
Kennedy and Jackie in her pink outfit holding those red roses that
fateful day in Dallas. Of course, many of the great works portraying
Jesus could be found as well, including Sallman’s Head of Jesus,
which has sold over 500 million copies, and da Vinci’s The Last
Supper hung near the dining room table. One of my favorites was
the pastel depiction of the little boy and girl crossing the dilapidated
bridge under the watchful eye of an angel.
Those walls were truly a cornucopia of masterpieces randomly
placed alongside simple Kodak moments. If a picture’s worth a
thousand words, Granny’s house, which was as much a museum as it
was abode, was an encyclopedia of current events, history, religion,
civics and family. It properly home-schooled anyone who’d take
the time to fully read its varied reflections of life.
When I hear about the controversy regarding Jesus’ picture
hanging in the courthouse, I think about Granny’s old house and
its plethora of images. I suppose hanging a likeness of Jesus in the
courthouse is somewhat akin to placing the President’s image in the
church house, mosque and/or temple...neither of which I suppose is
pleasing to Jesus nor the President. I don’t imagine any president
wishes to be arbitrarily labeled Protestant, Catholic, Buddhists,
Jewish, Hindu or Muslim. After all, he or she has been, or will
be, elected to serve all of the above; furthermore, he or she may
or may not be religious or of faith. On the other side of the wall,
since Jesus died for everyone, I don’t believe that He desires to be
labeled as Democrat, Republican, Independent, or even American;
moreover, I find nowhere in the New Testament that He was at all
interested in politics and government. We seem to forget that He
said that His kingdom is not of this world.
When those of Jesus’ day attempted to drag Him into the
proverbial courthouse, He was sharp enough to prevent it...usually
with a terse comment, such as, “...Render to Caesar the things that
are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Mark 12:17)
A common problem has plagued God’s people down through
the ages; it afflicts us yet, even today. It was spoken of in the Old
Testament, and Jesus addressed it Himself, as recorded in Matt.
9:13, “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not
sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
It would do us well to heed His instruction, “...go and learn what
this means.” In other words, take the time to figure out what it is
that Jesus really desires us to understand and do.
Simply put, I believe He wants us to show mercy and love to
people in lieu of performing external impersonal acts. I believe He’d
rather that we paint His love and image on the lives of those whom
we come in contact with each day, rather than on cold, unfeeling
courthouse walls. That picture in the courthouse...those strokes
of graphite on paper...that’s not Jesus. How could we ever come
to believe that we can confine God to a piece of paper, or that His
continued presence depends on that paper staying put?
Make no mistake, Jesus is in the courthouse, just as He’s in
the classroom, the boardroom, the restaurant, the neighborhood, and
on the street for that matter. You find Him wherever you find one
who’s serving another in love and compassion, expecting nothing
in return. You see His image whenever you see someone showing
concern for “the least of these.” You see Him clearly, high and
lifted up, when you see people loving their neighbors as themselves.
If a picture’s worth a thousand words, shouldn’t a thousand
words be worth a picture, as well? God’s Word fills every inch
of the walls of our souls with beautiful images of Jesus’ love for
everyone; all the courthouse walls in all the counties of this country
could never hold them, nor should we be trying to place them there.
If the church needs an image on a piece of paper to outwardly
show the world who Jesus is, it’s inwardly missed the point of His
coming, much in the same way that the people of Jesus’ day failed
to clearly see Him. All Christians may not be Rembrandts, but when
brush strokes of love are applied to blank canvasses of empty lives,
masterpieces are always created. But if you still wish to keep Jesus’
image in the courthouse, then visit there more often; just make sure
you express His love to someone while there.

Lee and Joyce enjoy
Breathitt County very much.
Sometimes it comes in a whisper, sometimes it comes with
writing in the sky, but knowing the will of the Lord was never
meant to a mystery in His children›s lives. It is hard to believe that
I am coming upon five years of walking with Him. I have learned
many lessons the hard way. There are a few things I have learned
from my failures. God is a redeemer and it has encouraged me
throughout the years that He always works together to the good for
those who loveGod, according to Scripture. Of course this promise
is not for those who do as they please and follow the desires of the
flesh, but for those who’s heart is after God. Living to please Him
must be the central focus of our life. He has called us to be a light
in the darkness! Let your light shine and allow God to search your
heart and restore you if your light has grown dim. As I reflected on
these things this afternoon, it has helped me to realize what God
has done even in the midst of what seemed to be failures. As long
as we are after His heart, He will give us grace all the more!
My first realization was that I should never jump out ahead
of the Lord, but always step out in faith. Faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God. Stay grounded in much prayer
and Scripture. If we can find time sit before our television then we
could surely find time to sit before the Lord. A man much wiser
than I once said that if I could spend three hours watching a football
game then I could spend an hour in prayer. We may surely step
before the Lord if we do not wait on Him. Sometimes we do not
see things happening the way we think they should. That is alright.
Be eager to learn through your trials and tribulations and your
spiritual growth will nearly double through perseverance. It is of
God to keep amongst you a multitude of counselors that bear the
fruit of the Gospel. Sometimes they can be the confirmation that
you need. Be vigilant in prayer. Trust in the promise of Proverbs
3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your
own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He
shall direct your paths.” (NKJV)
Secondly, I have learned that sometimes He allows us to fail
so that we can gain wisdom. This thought can surely be a stumbling
block for some people. We can be a stubborn and stiff necked
bunch sometimes. Any great inventor has seen a great deal of
dismal failures along the way. Someone once told me that Thomas
Edison and his research staff failed over a thousand times before
they eventually succeeded at creating a practical light bulb. When
we read of the great missionaries, many of them spent years in
their places of calling before seeing one convert. In a world where
men and women of integrity are at short supply, the few that stick
with their purpose will see the light. Christ must be our all in all.
We should be like Paul, “a fool for Christ’s sake”. If your life is
lived in fear of failure, then your life is never truly lived. Do not
be afraid to trust God for all things. If He allows us to fail, then it
is not failure, it is a gain of wisdom. God loves a risk taker.
Thirdly, He wants the glory for all He blest us with. The
best way for God to get the glory for your life is to step out of
your comfort zone. So many people get trapped into comfortable
Christianity. Jesus said to the church of Laodicea, “So then, because
you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out
of My mouth.” (Rev. 3:!6 NKJV) These are strong words from the
God of promises. We should be mindful that Jesus wants the glory
from our lives. He wants to make your life so seemingly radical
to the world that people cannot help but to be challenged! He has
given us His word, “When Christ who is our life appears, then you
also will appear with Him in glory.” (Colossians 3:4 NKJV) When
our all is in control of Him then we will be taken care of. This of
course can sometimes be contrary to how the world has defined
success. In response I will say that we should be eternally minded
and not worry too much about what the world has to say about it.
Living life to please Jesus simplifies things quite a bit, yet what a
challenging endeavor! Being taken care of by the Lord will always
test you, but He has given you all that you need to pass every test.
Trust Him.
I hope this has been an encouragement to you. I will say that
encouragements are designed to push us along and not excusing
any lack of obedience. We can’t go through life making excuses.
We must own up, rely on the Lord and press on! Conviction isn’t
enough to save, repentance is what the Lord has demanded of us.
He gives the grace for us to take action! Leonard Ravenhill once
said, “The question isn’t were you challenged. The question is
were you changed?”
Either the world is growing dim to us and Christ is shining
brighter than ever before, or the world has us and the joy of our
salvation has been plucked from the vine. Don’t waste time my
friends, allow Him control of it all and be refreshed! There can be
no separation of Jesus from anything in our life. Following Him is
an all or nothing call. Cutting corners only robs you. Jesus said, “I
am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in
him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” (John
15:5 NKJV) Let your light shine! He has made the way and we
are without excuse. Are you willing to share your light with others
or are you going to keep it under a lamp stand? THANK YOU
The family of the late
Mary Ann Carpenter would
like to send a sincere thank
you and deep appreciation to
those who offered kindness,
sympathy and comfort during
an extremely difficult time.
We especially would like to
thank Alex Leontiev, whom
she loved like a son; the
Griffith family, Kena Mullins,
Ann Carter, Laura Thomas,
Faye Shepherd, Judy Smith
and Carolyn Combs who
collaborated to provide a
delicious dinner after the
service. Also, Hospice of the Bluegrass, Watts Funeral Home
and Mark Driskill. In addition, we would like to thank all those
who sent flowers, food, drinks and support during this time of
bereavement.
Mary Ann was a mother to all and will be greatly missed by
everyone.

In the Book of 2 Peter, he presents to us a “three-in-oneworld.” Lets look at the first two.
World #1: The world that was: “Whereby, the world that then
was, being overflowed with water, perished.” 2 Peter 3: 5,6. That is
to say, the world of people and animals disappeared. I believe that
Peter is referring to the flood in Noah’s day. You know, the Bible
leaves much unsaid and there are certainly no living witnesses. It
was Satan’s desire to be like God, and this brought judgment upon
the “world that was.”
World #2: The world that is: This is the world in which you
and I live. Listen to what the Bible says: “But the heavens and the
earth, which are now (present) by the same Word, kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of
un-godly men.” 2 Peter 3:7, The meaning here is that the earth
has been stored up for fire. This is a very interesting statement, for
the suggestion is, that there are present in the world today, which
could destroy it. It is said that the United States alone has enough
nuclear weapons to destroy the world many times over. God help
us! Could it be that the earth carries it’s own judgment? It’s like
living on a powder keg, ready to explode with God’s timetable,
of course.
Water destroyed the “world that was” in Noah’s day, and that
judgment has already passed. Now the “world that is” is reserved
for yet another judgment-the judgment by fire. My friends,
the present order of things in the world is begging for another
judgment from God, and don’t you ever doubt it, it’s coming!
We know that Sodom-Gomorrah was destroyed by fire for its
wickedness. What was that wickedness? Primarily homosexuality,
which God says is an abomination in His sight. Do you think
America will be let off the hook (so to speak) for the same sin? I
don’t think so. Albeit, please know that God loves the homosexual.
He said Christ came into the world to save sinners. Remember, we
are all sinners, saved by grace.

Out of Darkness into the Light
Greetings friends and neighbors! Grace be unto you, and
peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. If
you are a born – again believer, please, share the Gospel. Matthew
28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen. 2 Corinthians 4:3 But if
our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: Matthew 5:14-16
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but
on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Let’s tell people to turn to Jesus Christ! Acts 26:18 To open
their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the
power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of
sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith
that is in me.
Let’s be light in the Lord! Ephesians 5:8 For ye were
sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as
children of light: Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians
6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Let’s tell others how God delivered us from powers of
darkness! Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power
of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear
Son:
We are now children of light as born-again believers!
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
hill cannot be hid. Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust
steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world
are in their generation wiser than the children of light. John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life. John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am
the light of the world. John 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not
twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth
not, because he seeth the light of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4 In
whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is
the image of God, should shine unto them. John 12:36 While ye
have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.
These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from
them. Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now
are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 1 Thessalonians
5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we
are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 John 1:5-7 This then is the
message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that
God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we
have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not
the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
Conclusion: Let’s tell everyone we can about Jesus Christ and
what He done for us all. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren,
I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which
also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye
are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless
ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that
which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again
the third day according to the scriptures: If you are not born-again.
Please accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and master today!

‘RALLY’ From Front
do with getting morality out of our society. He said, “When the
devil can drive Christians underground he has it made.” Bryant
added that we are one generation away from this happening, adding
that “we must take a stand and not give in.”
Breathitt County Judge Executive JL Smith also spoke at the rally.
“This is the people’s courthouse and the people should have a say,”
Smith said. He reminded those in attendance that the picture in
question has hung in the courthouse for nearly 35 years and “not a
word” of opposition was heard. He continued, “Now a group from
Wisconsin wants to tell us what to do? I disagree!”
In a passionate statement, Robert Butler echoed what earlier
speakers had said that the people have to take a stand. He ended
with the statement, “Breathitt County will be known as a place that
stands for Christ.”
Dr. Frank Simon, of the American Family Association of Kentucky, came from Louisville to support the rally. Dr. Simon opened
his remarks with a quote from a former leader of the Soviet Union,
Nikita Khrushchev, who vowed to destroy America. When asked
how this would happen, Khrushchev replied, “We will get rid of
God and America will fall apart!”
Dr. Simon then cited several examples, such as the decline of our
schools, drug use, a rising crime rate, and an increasing number of
sexually transmitted diseases, of how this has actually happened
since the 1950s.
Dr. Simon summed the situation up by saying, “The government
wants to take your religion out and replace it with the religion of
humanism or atheism.”
The image continues to hang in the courthouse hallway along
with additional artwork from local artists.

Collection at LBJ.
Here he is the one, the first, the only president of the 100 Point
Club/Accelerated Reader. Yes, it is Timothy Dousay fifth grade
SUPERSTAR in Doug Halsey’s homeroom which is the location
he used to take most of his Accelerated Reader tests. Log is easy
and the children earn scores when tested on their favorite book.
Timothy says his favorite books to read are “Goosebumps” as the
suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out
what happens next. Timothy’s proud parents are Howard Mitchell
& Valerie Dousay, WAY TO GO President TIMMY!
Amy with the children at Branson Head Start.
This week we have been discussing the unit, “Foods for My
Healthy Body.” The children participated in activities focused
around foods. The children made butter and tasted it as a nutritional
activity. The children talked about the process and loved the end
product. On Wednesday, Amy Spicer from the Breathitt County Extension Office visited the classrooms. She read a book about the
importance of brushing. She had the children take part in an experiment of covering their teeth with their lips and trying to bite down
on an apple or cheese. The children were amazed about how hard
it was to eat the foods without using their teeth. We would like to say a BIG thank you to Amy. We enjoyed your
visit and can’t wait to see what you have planned for your next visit. If you have a child or know someone that would be interested
in sending their child to Head Start,, please call Brenda at 6668585. We are a 4 STAR Rated and NAEYC Accredited Program. Ms. Ella and Ms. Serena’s class with SNEDS Educator
Amy Spicer from Breathitt County Extension Office.
Gavin Mullins-first official BoxTop winner of 2015 school year.
It’s now official, Mr. Ronn Turner, vice principal at LBJ, had
his “Breaking in Ceremony” by drawing the first winner in Box
Tops for Education. The name he pulled out of the basket was
none other than Mr. Gavin Mullins, a fourth grade student in Robin
Pennington’s class. Gavin’s photo being awarded the $10 bill will
be placed in the “The Hall of Fame” walkway by the library. Gavin
brought in sheets after sheets of saved box top labels and as everyone
knows for each sheet of labels their name is placed in the drawing,
10 sheets=10 entries. We ask everyone to help support our school
by saving all their box top labels. If there are no children in your
home just drop any you may have saved at the front office so that
a deserving child can benefit from this program. Helping us help
them makes our students as well as our schools stronger!
What would happen “If You Took a Mouse to School?” While
that is a fascinating question that will open any guardian up to
hour long discussions with the child in their home, it is a literary
masterpiece written by Laura Numeroff with illustrations by Felicia
Bond.
Kindergarten students delight as they could listen to it over
and over again. Our Guidance Counselor/Librarian Ms. Shirley
Spencer just loves to hear their laughter as she shares the joy that
goes with a book.
Ms. Spencer would like to let everyone know that she is back
in a familiar setting as she used to be the in past years. She is
serving in dual positions as Guidance Counselor half of the day and
librarian the remainder. Ms. Spencer enjoys having the chance to
openly communicate with 100 percent of our large growing student
population. Great job, Ms. Spencer, KEEP SMILING!

Story Time at LBJ
Ms. Spencer shares a story with Mrs. Cornett and Ms.
Deaton’s class.
What’s new at LBJ in fifth grade Mrs. Beasley’s classroom
you may ask? Genius Hour! This idea follows the Google model
of giving their employees 20 percent of their work time to pursue a
project of their choice. We have been using the last hour of the week
to focus on our passion projects. Students are required to research
a topic and present their learning in front of their peers. Some
students have been creating how-to videos, stop motion animations,
and building 3-D models. Others are focusing on learning a new
skill such as cup stacking or drawing but the majority are just being
fabulous in the fifth grade!
It’s never too early when it comes to guiding young minds in
choosing what to put on your plate. That is what SNEDS Educator
Amy Spicer from Breathitt County Extension Office has shared with
our Preschool rooms. We all need to think about what goes on our
plates and set a good example for those little eyes that are watching.
Everyone should try to make half their plates fruits and vegetables,
along with whole grains, skim milk and protein food choices. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that Kentucky
has the fifth-highest rate of obesity in the nation. About one-third
of U.S. adults (33.8 percent) are obese. Approximately 17 percent
(or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents ages 2-19 years are
obese. Data from the National Health and Examination Survey
(NHANES). In her lesson today Mrs. Spicer shared with children
the importance of taking care of their own health with a plate full
of healthy snacks and food. The children had pepperoni, grapes,
grape tomatoes, cheese cubes and whole wheat bread. The hands
down favorite was of course GRAPES. Thank you for sharing this
lesson Mrs. Spicer, looking forward to your next visit!

Nursing Graduates at the Lees College
Campus of HCTC Achieve 100% pass rate
The Hazard Community and Technical College May 2015
ADN (registered nursing) class at the Lees College Campus has
achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the National Council Licensure
Examination (NCLEX-RN). HCTC President Dr. Steve Greiner
and Donna Combs, Nursing Program Coordinator, congratulated
the students for their success and praised the HCTC nursing faculty
members for their excellence in the classroom.
NCLEX-RN is the national examination for the licensing of
registered nurses in the United States. After completion of the
nursing program requirements from a school of nursing, a graduate
may take the NCLEX-RN and if successful become a licensed
“registered” nurse. A registered nursing license is granted by a state
upon successful completion of the NCLEX-RN.
The next opportunity to be admitted to the ADN (registered
nursing) program at HCTC is for fall 2016 and the deadline to
complete the application process is February 1, 2016. Anyone interested in the nursing program may contact Donna
Combs, Nursing Program Coordinator, for information at 606487-3103.
Ms. Sloas’ and Ms. Paula’s classes.
Driver Trainer, Mr. Scotty Spicer discussed bus rules and safety
procedures. He explained that the rules were established to keep
everyone safe. The students practiced loading and unloading the bus
using the hand rail. The drivers conducted a school bus evacuation
drill. They explained the proper procedures for safely evacuating the
school bus in the event of an emergency. Scotty Spicer discussed the
importance of crossing in front of the bus so the driver has a visual
of the students. Bus driver Delmer Bryant took the students for a
ride to allow them to demonstrate appropriate behavior while riding
the bus. We would like to thank Mr. Spicer and Delmer Bryant for
helping the students become familiar with bus safety procedures.

These students are: Alex Howard, Haley Turner, Tiarra Trent,
Makayla McIntosh, Kaleigh Smith, Emily Baker, Sarah Ortiz, and
Madison Hensley.
Students were selected through an application process
conducted by Breathitt County 4-H.
They will be participating in many leadership development
activities, educational trips, and learning how to prepare for a job
interview and filling out a resume.
Students will meet monthly with other students from the
county.
Mrs. Henson-Little, JCS GEAR UP Academic Specialist
said, “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to develop
as leaders and grow in character.
Everyone at JCS would like to congratulate the new student
representatives!
This week in Mrs. Hollan’s class, they have been continuing
working with letters from the alphabet and this week they’re
working on the letter “M.”
With this, they have been studying Mexico and what people
do there.
They have made the Mexican flag and compared it to the
American flag.
They have also learned that not everyone can speak English;
some people speak many different languages.
The students got to learn how to say “hello” and “goodbye”
in Spanish and compare it to the way we say it in English.
On Friday, they took a class trip to the Mexican Restaurant.
Here, they got to try salsa and chips and many kinds of
different chicken, but their favorite was French Fries and they
said it was good American food.
Overall, Mrs. Hollan and her students have had a great week
and cannot wait till next week to find out their new adventure.

2015-2016 JCS Eighth Grade Class Officers, L to R:
Slayde Sizemore (President), Colton Smith (Vice-President),
Faith Moore (Secretary), Harley Thomas (Treasurer) Jackson City School Celebrates NATIONAL ATTENDANCE MONTH! SEPTEMBER 2015 Ryan Little
JCS alumnus Victoria Hollan visited JCS on Wednesday,
September 9 to speak to students.
Hollan is currently a student at SCAD (Savannah College of
Art and Design) in Savannah, Georgia and is majoring in fashion
market and management.
Before attending SCAD, Hollan went to BCTC (Bluegrass
Community and Technical College) for the fall semester of 2014
and then transferred to SCAD for the Spring 2015 quarter.
Hollan’s roommate, Alexandra Volum, who is from Peru and
is an industrial design major, accompanied Hollan to JCS.
Hollan spoke about her college experience and the
opportunities that SCAD has offered her and the rest of the
students who attend.
SCAD works a little differently than other universities.
For example, at SCAD the students attend in quarters instead
of semesters, and each quarter lasts ten weeks.
Each quarter, students take three classes lasting around two
and a half hours each.
Hollan informed students that two weeks after graduating
SCAD, 100 percent of students have jobs.
When Hollan was asked why she fell in love with SCAD her
answer was, “The reason I fell in love with SCAD so immensely
is because everything has a purpose for your career. They’re
setting me up for life.”
Hollan is a 2014 graduate of JCS and is the daughter of Scott
and Amy Hollan.

Breathitt County
Museum gets donation
Jerry Deaton (better known to all as
“Bucky”) recently visited the Breathitt County Museum with members of the governor’s
cabinet.
While at the museum Jerry surprised
all with the donation of three very historical
framed pages from the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The newspaper pages were from the
early 1900s and dealt with early feuds in Kentucky. Two of these pages told about Breathitt
County, Judge Hargis, J.B. Marcum and others. The museum would like to thank Jerry
for this donation as well as other help he has
given!

“Life versus even more life! I can’t lose.” Php 1:21 TM
A FAITH PERSPECTIVE
Roman prisons were terrible places. Offenders were stripped,
flogged, and placed in leg irons. Their blood-soaked clothing
wasn’t changed even in the dead of winter. And the “inner cell”
(Ac 16:24 NIV) where Paul and Silas were imprisoned was the
worst. Lack of water, cramped conditions, and the stench of
toilets (if that’s what you could call them) made sleep impossible.
Prisoners routinely begged for death, and some even committed
suicide. It was your worse nightmare! Yet “Paul and Silas were...
singing...and the other prisoners were listening” (v. 25 NIV).
In The Message, Eugene Peterson paraphrases it like this: “The
other prisoners couldn’t believe their ears.” Talk about impact!
Paul’s attitude impressed them before his religious beliefs ever
reached them. Let’s face it, anybody can sing in church, including
hypocrites. But when you can praise God in the midst of pain,
pressures, and problems- that’s something else. How did they
do it? They had a faith perspective! It’s not what you have
lost, but what you have left that counts! Paul didn’t just sing in
prison, he wrote some of his best stuff there. Here’s his take on
it: “Everything happening to me in this jail only serves to make
Christ more accurately known, regardless of whether I live or die.
They didn’t shut me up; they gave me a pulpit! Alive, I’m Christ’s
messenger; dead, I’m His bounty. Life versus even more life! I
can’t lose” (Php 1:19-21 TM). Their strength comes from a source
that’s not diminished by outside circumstances. That’s because
they have a faith perspective. And that’s what you need today too!

LENS REPLACEMENT SURGERY
While “laser-assisted in
situ keratomileusis” (LASIK)
surgery may be a very good
way for younger patients, in
particular, to correct refractive
errors (nearsightedness,
farsightedness, and
astigmatism), “lens
replacement surgery” (LRS)
may be a better option for
older patients. Unlike LASIK,
which involves reshaping
the cornea (the clear front
surface of the eye), LRS
encompasses replacing the eye
lens with an implant. Doing so
with a high-tech, multifocal
intraocular lens (IOL) helps
older patients overcome the
effects of “presbyopia” (agerelated lens inflexibility that
necessitates reading glasses)
and cataracts. LRS works
best for seniors who have
cataracts and for those who
are farsighted and want to read
without reading glasses (as
well as to circumvent the need
for future cataract surgery).
Whichever lens
replacement would be best
for your situation, the goal
of KENTUCKY EYE
INSTITUTE is to provide
you with quality eye care
while giving you the personal
attention you deserve.
As ophthalmologists, we
are licensed and certified
physicians with more than a
decade of intensive education
and rigorous training. We’re
located at 540 Jett Drive, where
our training yields unrivaled
expertise and efficiency in eye
care. Please call 606-666-9393
to schedule an appointment. We
specialize in “EYE CARE FOR
ALL AGES.”
P.S. Lens replacement
surgery (LRS) is an outpatient
procedure that takes only 1520 minutes to perform on
each eye.

that we are His, having Him in control and giving us hope through
each circumstance is beyond priceless. None of us know what
tomorrow holds. Let’s make sure that we are ready for it. There is
a saying that says that we may not know what tomorrow holds but
we do know who hold tomorrow. If we belong to Him, we can rest
in that surety. He is faithful!

Julie Cornett, left, talked with FEMA representatives after
their program at the senior center last week.
Last week two representatives from FEMA were at the senior
citizens center explaining how older Americans can prepare for
disasters in their community. They said preparing for the unexpected
is basically the same be it flood, tornado, wind storm, or fire, etc.
“Some of the things you can do to be prepared for the unexpected,” they said, “Include, assembling an emergency kit and
making an emergency plan.
They said an emergency kit should include water (at least a
gallon), non perishable food, flashlight and extra batteries, first aid
kit, whistle to signal for help, moist towelettes, garbage bags and
plastic bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation, manual can
opener, and prescription medication.
One’s emergency plan they said should include making a personal support network. This plan should include family, friends,
and others to be part of your network. They said one should share
each aspect of your emergency plan with everyone in your group
including a friend, or relative in another area who would not be
impacted by the same emergency. Include the names and numbers
of everyone in your support network as well as your medical providers in your emergency supply kit.
From all indications the seniors enjoyed FEMA’s presentation
and appreciation the excellent information they shared for the attendees.

Lalie Miller, Senior Citizens’ “Member of the Month” for
August.
By popular vote Lalie Miller was selected the “Senior of the
Month” for August 2015.
One hardly ever sees Lalie without her ever present smile. It’s
always with her. They seem inseparable. That’s one feature that
distinguishes her, and it’s the feature than endears her to all the
attendees at the center.
She’s been coming to the center Tuesday and Thursday regularly since July 2009. “I really love going to the center,” she said.
“It’s been an important part of my life ever since I started.”
She said the main thing she liked was getting to be with her
friends. “That doesn’t mean,” she smiled,” that I don’t also love
other things about the center.”
“The trips, food, special events at the center, socializing, and
interesting programs are all important to me,” she smiled. “I’ll never
be sorry that I got started six years ago.”
When asked if she would recommend the center to her friends,
she replied, “I do all the time.”
She said, “I tell them about our good director, Rich Buntin,
and how he likes the center to look nice. I also brag on our good,
safe van driver, Ron Hudson, who takes us grocery shopping, to the
doctor, drug store, and other places we may need to go.”
Lalie lives on Hardshell of Caney. Very dear to her is her family
of four daughters, six grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and
three sons-in-law. She and her husband, Artis, who passed away in
2003, used to live in Chicago. When their children got old enough
to go to school, they moved back to Breathitt County.
Lalie is a faithful member of Caney Creek Mennonite Church
which is pastured by Tommy Miller. “He’s like family to me,” she
said, “I love him.”
In conclusion she said she would like to encourage all her
friends to get acquainted with the center since it’s “a home away
from home” for seniors.

Outdoor Ed
What was it like for students
back in the pioneer days of our
country?
Our students in K-8 learned
some surprising answers to this
question when they attended the
latest Outdoor Ed program at
Camp Nathanael. This year’s
program focused on Pioneer
Living.
Katie Petty said, “Pioneers
were very happy about school,
although it was very strict.”
Julieann Neace said, “The
students had to hold their hands
out for teachers to see. If not
clean they had to go wash them
in a well.” “We learned what
school was like back then; it was
scary,” said Jasmine Melson.
Jasmine and Katie also
enjoyed learning how to make
butter, quilts, baskets, candles
and “gritty bread. They had
the opportunity to attend ten
different workshops. The butter
making seemed to be a favorite
for many.
Ariel Stephens said,
“We all had to shake a can of
heavy whipping cream stuff.”
Jordan Neace added, “Then
we separated the buttermilk,
added some salt and enjoyed
the butter.”
“The butter making was fun
and we got to eat a cracker with
butter. Now I feel like making
butter,” said Malin Voth. “We
got to eat real butter. It was
delicious,” said Josh Petty.
“My favorite thing that day
was the animals,” said Brandon
McGuin. “The rabbits were
funny. My favorite was the
goats.”
“We learned how hard it
was for people at that time,”
said Malin. “We learned about
how they lived in the Pioneer
Days,” said Jasmine. “It was a
really cool and fun trip,” said
Jordan. “I had a great time at
Camp Nathanael,” said Paul
Champ. Students gained a better
understanding of what pioneer
living was like.

students in K-2 celebrated
Grandparents Day. Invitations
went out and there was a very
good response.
Grandparents of all the
children, and some parents, too,
came and went to lunch in the
cafeteria together with their
grandchildren.
Next they all gathered
around tables in the gym. With
construction paper, puzzle
pieces, and glue each family
put together a poster with the
message “I love you to pieces.”
The students loved having

Chapter 2
“What should I do, Chloe? I’m one hundred, forty
eight dollars short,” I said, my heart pounding.
“And fifty cents,” said the cashier.
“Excuse me?” I asked, confused.
“You’re one hundred, forty eight dollars and fifty
cents short,” she repeated.
I felt a tear sting my eye. The cashier, who was
wearing a tag that read, “Hi, I’m Lizzie,” said, “I’ll
help you,” as she pulled out a form.
“This is a promissory note,” Miss Lizzie explained,
turning the paper so I could see it. “It states that
you’ll pay the balance of one hundred, forty eight
dollars and fifty cents within 30 days, interest free.
If you are unable to pay the balance within 30 days,
you will charged interest at 6 percent. Please sign
here, here, and initial here.”
I knew I shouldn’t sign anything without Mom and
Dad reading it first, but I shouldn’t have purchased
anything without them either. I would have to pay
the consequences.
In my best handwriting I signed Mr. Dogwood
“Woody” Furr before adding “DWF” to the other
line. Miss Lizzie handed me two pieces of paper.
“Here’s a copy of the promissory note you just
signed and here’s your ticket for your purchase.
Take it to the Merchandise Pick-Up table and you’ll
receive your item.”
“No thank you,” I replied. “Dad says we shouldn’t
buy anything on credit. If we can’t pay for it up
front, we don’t need it. We can pick up our new ball
after I’ve paid in full.”
“That’s a good rule, but this note says that you
promise to pay for it. You just have to keep your
promise,” Miss Lizzie explained.
“Cross my heart,” I said, looking her in the eye.
“Dad says we always have to keep our word, and
you have my word, Miss Lizzie.” I gave her a firm

handshake, something else Dad taught us.
“My tummy feels funny about taking our ball home
since we haven’t paid for it,” I said, walking to
the table. “And who ever heard of a ball costing
one hundred and fifty dollars? It must roll fast and
bounce high.”
I hoped Mom and Dad would understand and go
easy on me, especially since I was thinking of giving
it to Chloe anyway.
We handed the ticket to a man at the table. He left
for a second and returned carrying a something big
and round that looked like a mirror. “Here you go,
Mr. Dogwood,” he said, holding the biggest and
heaviest object I’d ever seen.
“What’s this, Mister?” I asked.
“It’s your disco ball.”
“Won’t it break if we roll it or bounce it?”
“Of course!” he answered, smiling. “It’s not a
basketball. It’s a disco ball.”
“We don’t know how to play disco. Is it hard to
learn?”
He shook his head and smiled. “Your parents can
explain what a disco ball is,” he replied. Chloe and
I thanked him. We had to walk on our hind legs
and use our front legs to carry our new ball. Finally,
we arrived home safely without losing our
balance or dropping it. We’d just placed it
on the couch when Mom and Dad walked
in.
“Hey Pups! How was your, WOW! Where
did you get THAT?” Dad asked, looking
back and forth between the ball and Mom.
“Oh, I always wanted a disco ball for my
room when I was a teenager,” Mom said,
before I had the opportunity to explain.
“Do you two know how to play disco?” I
asked, feeling hopeful Mom could teach us
how to play.
“Play disco?” Mom repeated.
“Yes, how do you play — on teams or
alone?” Mom and Dad laughed.
“Disco isn’t a game, son” Dad answered. “It’s a type
of music —a mix of pop and soul — that was really
popular in the 1970s, which was called the disco
era. At dances, there’d be disco balls mounted
to the ceiling. The ball would spin and produce
colored lights. Who gave you this?”
I swallowed hard and said “I bought it from an oxen
in our neighborhood.”
“A what?” Mom asked.
“An ox-en,” I said, pronouncing the word slowly.
“It’s like a yard sale where people bid on the items.”
“Ah, an auction,” Mom replied, winking at Dad.
“How much did you pay for it?” Dad asked.
“I only paid one dollar and fifty cents, but I signed a
promise note for the rest.”
“How much was the rest?” Dad asked.
“One hundred, forty eight dollars,” I said timidly.
“And fifty cents,” Chloe added.
The look on Dad’s face was a mixture of shock and
confusion. Mom tilted her head like Chloe does
when she hears a siren.
I had a feeling I’d be back in the doghouse. I hoped
I’d be out before Chloe’s birthday.

Breathitt at Knott Central
Friday night in Hindman
The eighth of eight segments, the final segment, chronicling Breathitt’s football program, mirroring the storied success of its older brother, basketball
Carrying on an ole family tradition, Part VIII
BIG HORSE, HIGH HOPES, ERA ENDS
By James David Fugate
Times-Voice Sports
[email protected]
an abrupt end a week later in
the final-four on Belfry’s new
turf, as Breathitt suffered an
untimely loss.
Last week I told you
of Breathitt’s third state
championship with Justin
Haddix in 2002, and its fifth
perfect regular season dating
back to 1995, as quarterback
Jacob Hundley led his 2004
team flawlessly. The next
year would see the Bobcats
suffer their first losing season
since winning its first state
championship 10 years earlier,
but hope could be seen on the
horizon that football’s golden
era was still ongoing.
CHAMPIONSHIP FORM
The Bobcats entered the 2008
season with their highest hopes
in years as junior Channing
Fugate had developed into
one of the state’s best running
backs, and fellow junior
QB Jade Haddix presented
opponents much trouble with
his ability to run and throw.
After losing the first two games
of the season, Breathitt reeled
off eight consecutive wins and
another district championship.
The Bobcats cruised through
the first three games of the
playoffs, winning their sixth
regional championship in the
process. However, Breathitt
had to go back to Belfry for
the second year in a row; again
in a final-four matchup. It
would be a different story this
time, as Channing picked off a
Pirate pass near the goal line
late in the game to preserve
Breathitt’s win, 14-12. The
Bobcats were headed back to
Louisville for the fourth time
in 14 years. They were perfect
in state championship games,
but could they take down a
highly talented Louisville
Central team to earn their
fourth championship?
SAME CITY, DIFFERENT VENUE
Gone was the old Cardinal
Stadium where Breathitt had
won three state championships,
and Central seemed right at
home in the new Papa John’s
Stadium. Breathitt hung tough
for most of the first half, but the
team from Louisville prevailed
down the stretch to win 40-19.
SKY’S THE LIMIT
Despite falling short in
2008, Breathitt fans held
much hope for a repeat trip to
Louisville in 2009. Fugate,
appropriately nicknamed The
Big Horse, was Kentucky
High School football’s poster
boy. His picture donned The
Lexington Herald’s High
School Preview edition, and
BUSTED IN BRIARS
As it turned out, that muchanticipated 2009 season fell
well short of expectations. The
Bobcats won the district, which
had become the norm, but fell to
an upset-minded Briar Hopper
team in Somerset, 33-51, in the
regional championship game.
They finished 7-6. The Big
Horse was selected first-team
all-state on the defensive side,
becoming Breathitt’s first and
only two-time all-stater, and
took his game to Tennessee the
next year, earning a starting
position at fullback. Fugate
finished his final year as an
Eastern Kentucky Colonel.
Haddix, whose father played
on Breathitt’s first ever football
team, and whose brother
Justin had led Breathitt to its
third championship, took his
game to UPike and had an
outstanding college career.
GOOD BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH
After an 8-5 season in 2010,
Breathitt reeled off back-toback 12-1 seasons in 2011
and 2012, which resulted in
two more regional runnersup. 2012 would be the final
year for Coach Mike Holcomb,
who took his game to Letcher
Central.
AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER
So, how do you measure an
era? Well, no doubt it started
in 1995 with Breathitt’s first
state championship, but just
when did it end? I choose
to believe it ended at Papa
HOUSE BECOMES A HOME
No doubt, the older hoopshooting brother had the nicer
room in the BHS home they
shared; he’d earned it years
before. The round, domed
edifice suited his needs and
proved to be one of the most
elaborate high school arenas
in the state when it was
unveiled back in 1964—it still
is for that matter. When his
younger brother came along
unexpectedly in the midseventies, the family had to
find more space. A nursery in
the form of a small stadium
would suffice for a while, but
much success, not to mention
a streak of his own, demanded
NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
As I stated in my opening
paragraph at the beginning
of this series weeks ago,
“Sometimes great occurrences
come about when we least
expect them—they seem to
explode out of nowhere. In
reality, they’re results of years
of hard work and dedication. To
a large extent these occurrences
define who we are, give meaning
to our endeavors, and establish
standards to which those
who follow strive. Such have
been the cases with Breathitt
High School’s basketball and
football programs…programs
which have taken similar paths
throughout the school’s rich
athletic tradition.”
I’ve been told that nothing
lasts forever, leastwise this
series. I’ve also been told that
we should keep our focus ahead,
not looking back. What’s more,
I realize that we can’t know
where we’re going or how to
get there unless we know where
we’ve been and how we found
our way.

numerous Division I schools
had offered scholarships,
programs such as Stanford,
Louisville, Purdue, Illinois,
to name a few. Ultimately,
The Big Horse, a first team
all-state running back, had
chosen Tennessee. Coupled
with quarterback Haddix, a
return trip looked quite doable.
Fugate had nearly rewritten
Breathitt’s record book in his
junior season alone with over
3000 yards rushing; what
would he accomplish in his
senior season? A Mr. Football
hopeful, anything seemed
possible.
WHERE’S THE LITTLE SISTER?
Throughout this series I’ve
focused on the two brothers,
making no mention of
their little sister, until now.
Interestingly enough, she also
has a similar story to tell;
however, that’s one for another
time and place. But make no
mistake, the account will be
told.

was a third generation Bobcat,
grandson of Doug and son
of Jeff. Grandpa Doug was
instrumental in the laying of
basketball’s foundation, while
Dad Jeff played both sports.

WINNING TRADITION
Over the past eight weeks
I’ve guided you through two
storied high school sports’
programs which share the
same address…a rarity in high
school sports. I’ve expressed
their similarities which have
tied them together intrinsically.
Breathitt basketball, the older
brother, the one who’d taken
the family name to every
corner of Kentucky, and
Breathitt football, the younger
brother, the one born late, the
unlikely sibling who’d reach
the mountain’s peak not only
once, but three times, have
proven that overachieving,
hyperactive
brothers
can
flourish under the same roof.
You could say it’s simply “an
ole family tradition.”
a room equivalent to his
older brother. Mike Holcomb
Stadium, named for the coach
that’d nurtured the young
brother to maturity, saw its first
game in 1998…the first game
after The Streak had ended at
Lawrence County. As a dome
had given distinctiveness
to older brother’s room, a
roofed stadium, the only
one of its kind in Kentucky,
gave uniqueness to younger
brother’s space. Two elaborate
rooms in the same house, both
named for their exceptional
coaches, stand as trophies
representing their programs’
respective success.

HOPE ON THE HORIZON
Breathitt got back on track
in 2006 bolstered with a highly
talented freshman class, a
class on which many placed
championship hopes. Leading
that class was a young colt of
a running back in Channing
Fugate. A breakout game in the
fourth game of the season by
Fugate at Powell Valley, Va.,
proved as much as Breathitt
took down the state power, 4228. Breathitt would go on to
finish 8-3 that year, but more
was to come.
John’s Stadium in 2008 with
a state runner-up, much in
the same way that football’s
older brother had done in 1972
after bowing out in the first
round of the state basketball
tournament in Louisville’s
Freedom Hall. You’d have to
consider that football’s Golden
Era ended much as the Golden
Era of basketball did, with a
14-year run. Having won 149
out of 183 football games
during those years lends great
credibility to the argument.
Interestingly, the two ‘Golden
Ages’ of Breathitt boys’ sports
each lasted 14 years.

Lady Tigers Volleyball on a Roll
The Lady Tigers’ six game winning streak ends with a close match to Wolfe County
By Derek Fugate
Times-Voice Sports
Photos by: Derek Fugate
The Jackson City Lady Tigers hosted the Wolfe County
Lady Wolves Tuesday night,
for what would be one the
greatest matches of the season.
The Lady Wolves were winners of the All “A” Classic
Tournament, and have already
sealed the top seed in the upcoming district tournament by
sweeping the Breathitt County
Volley Cats twice and Lady
Tigers earlier at Wolfe County
I would have to say the Lady
Wolves are the best team in
this area. With that being
said, I still felt the Lady Tigers
would be very competitive in
this district match-up with how
well they’ve been playing of
late.
The action started early
with the freshman game,
which to my surprise was best
two out of three, just like the
JV game. The Lady Tigers
won in the third set in a close
game. Then the JV got started
and was nearly the same as the
freshman game, but the Lady
Wolves walked away winners,
and then it was time for the
varsity match-up.
The Lady Wolves are really good, as I’ve said before.
I have yet to see a team that
plays with more desire, emotion and determination to win
than the Lady Wolves this year.
However, the Lady Tigers are
hungry for wins right now, after starting out slow due to injuries. I knew this would be a
very competive game.
The Lady Tigers started out
strong in set one, taking a good
lead right from the start. The
Lady Wolves would even the
score mid way through the set,
but the game went right to the
wire with Wolfe eventually
taking the win 25-17. Set-two
started out in Wolfe County’s
favor, as the Lady Wolves
took an early lead, but Jackson
would be back.
The Lady Tigers rallied in
set-two with great saves from
Brittany Barnett and Kelsey
Taulbee along with some great
serves from Abi Thomas, Kayleigh Smith and Hayley Turner helped Tigers take the win
25-22. The Lady Tigers needed
this win to give them the confidence they need heading toward the district tournament.
The Lady Wolves regrouped
and really looked sharp in set
three. The Lady Wolves set up
and deliver the spike so well,
that once they’re set, it would
be hard for any team to return.
The Lady Wolves took set three
25-15.
The Lady Tigers didn’t quit,
they came out strong yet again
in set four. I was really impressed at how hard the Lady
Tigers played in this set, which
came down again to the wire.
Wolfe County’s Coach Ben
White called a timeout with the
score tied 21-21, and I really
felt the Lady Tigers were going to take this set, as they still
had control. Taulbee missed the
next serve and the Lady Wolves
ended up taking the win 25-21.
This was a hard loss for the
Lady Tigers, who were right in
the game until the end, but this
can also be good for staying
hungry for district. Defeating
the Lady Wolves in sets twice
this year may give the Lady Tigers the boost they need if they
face them again.

Breathitt High hung tough
with Letcher Central for a half,
but that was about it. The
Bobcats scored four times in
the second quarter to tie the
contest at 35, as the teams went
to intermission, but Breathitt
failed to find pay dirt again.
Conversely, Mike Holcomb’s
Eagle team scored four times
after the break to win going
away, 63-35.
In a game with highly
featured
running
backs,
Breathitt’s James Fletcher
Collins, and Central’s Jaylyn
Williams, it appeared that
Holcomb was looking for a
statement win, and got it. It
was the rubber match, the third
meeting between the former
coach and his player-turnedcoach, as first-year coach
Kyle Moore had embarrassed
his former coach, winning
by 31 in their first meeting in
2013. Holcomb returned the
favor last year winning by 29.
This time around, it appeared
as if Letcher couldn’t win
by enough, as star Williams
uncharacteristically was still
in on the field scoring his fifth
and final touchdown with only
3:46 to go in the contest with
the game having been decided
well before.
As far as the dual between
Collins and Williams, two
of the best in the mountains,
Collins garnered 353 yards
rushing to Williams’ 347. They
were a sight to behold. Of
course, that’s no consolation
for Bobcat fans, who have yet
to celebrate a win this year.
Possibly wishing only
to remember the first half,
Breathitt had some high spots.
QB Cameron Stacy completed
15 of his 28 passes for 180
yards with no interceptions.
Better still, the freshman
threw for three touchdowns, a
4-yard strike to Bryson Parks,
and two to Ethan Little, a
71-yarder and one covering 16
yards. Stacy’s getting better
with each game, as expected.
It’s been a while since
I’ve seen a running back as
dynamic as Collins, who’s
a threat to go the distance
each time he touches the ball.
The senior scored twice in
the second quarter, a twoyard plunge and a 43-yard
scamper, filled with twists and
turns. Another bright spot
was Randy Melton’s perfect
night on extra-point attempts,
going five-for-five. The junior
had a good night all around,
also getting a reception, good
for eight yards. Sophomore
Trey Noble also had a good
night, catching four balls for
48 yards, equaling the four
catches by Parks, but Little’s
four receptions led Breathitt,
resulting in 104 yards and the
two scores.
Back to the two coaches, the
teacher and the pupil, neither
has their respective programs
where they will most likely
be down the road. Breathitt’s
Moore is 11-16 thus far in his
three seasons as the Bobcats’
head coach, while Holcomb is
16-12 since leaving Breathitt
after the 2012 season.
Breathitt will be looking for
its first win Friday night on
the road in Hindman taking on
John Paul Chapman’s Patriots.
If anybody can make a winner
on the gridiron at Knott
Central, it’ll be the former
Breathitt head assistant. He
has the Patriots, typically a
pushover with only one win
last year, with three wins
already this year, against only
one loss. Knott Central has
never beaten Breathitt on
the football field. Hopes are
high in Hindman for an even
quicker turn around with a
win over the Bobcats Friday
night, and it would be, even if
over a winless Breathitt team.
Chapman turned around a Pike
Central program quickly, and
a win over Breathitt would let
the folks in Hindman know
the Patriots are on their way to
respectability.
Former Breathitt players and
coaches dot the landscape of
high school football across the
mountains, as with Holcomb
at Letcher and Chapman at
Knott. Letcher’s defensive
coordinator is former Bobcat
star, Dennis Cornett, who still
holds the record at Breathitt
with the most tackles in a single
season. Former BHS firstteam all-stater, Brad Allen, is
at the helm at East Ridge, and
there are others as well, but
that’s a story for another day.
For now, it’s Breathitt at Knott
Friday night in an all-important
district match-up.
