Ice Storm Hits Kentucky
Although it’s very beautiful to look at, the ice storm that hit Kentucky
left millions without power and brought National Guard troops to our
state to aid in the cleanup of debris.

BRINGING GOOD NEWS TO
OUR READERS SINCE 2006
MARCH 2009
February was a
month of highs
and lows...
W
hat a wild month February was. It seems like the month just flew by, that’s because of
the lack of days in the month. Those missing two or three days can really mess with a
person. Or at least, it messes with me. Those of us in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
lived through the biggest weather emergency in the history of the state. Ice, snow, rain, wind ...
you name it, we’ve had it this month.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
We lost power at the farm for about 36 hours during the ice storm. I sat here at my computer that day and watched as the ice got thicker and thicker on the trees, thinking to myself
... “I’ve got candles ready when the power goes out, no problems, right?” Well, I didn’t take into
consideration all the other problems that arise with no power. Like charging my cell phone. I
knew our phone wouldn’t work with no power, but thought to myself ... heck, I have a cell phone
so that’s not a problem. I guess I should have quit ‘thinking to myself’ and got off my behind and
did something to prepare. Because even though I had that cell phone, I didn’t think to charge it
fully. It lasted about two phone calls before it died! And that spotlight we have, heck why charge
it? It was fully charged the last time I used it! Well, if nothing else, I learned something during
that ice storm. And the next time one approaches us, I won’t sit here on my behind and think to
myself. You can bet I’ll be more prepared.
The trees were pretty amazing that night. To go outside in the pitch dark - and boy it gets
dark with no power in the country - and listen to those trees snapping off was wild. Not quite as
wild as the next morning when we got to witness everything on the ground. Man! Talk about a
mess. I keep telling Dave that I guess the ice storm was God’s way of giving me mulch, because
we have spent every spare minute putting limbs, branches, etc. into the chipper/shredder and
have quite the stockpile of mulch now!
•••••••
As for the newspaper, it seems like we spent the month going to meetings and gatherings. Which isn’t altogether a bad thing! Heck, we got to eat out at the Chamber Quarterly
Luncheon and that was fun. Glenda Gay Oliver and the staff at Silo Mill were awarded Business
of the Quarter, so it was nice to see her receive her plaque. Plus, Yvonne and I were able to talk
knitting during lunch! We also attended the Modern Woodman of America dinner at the Cedar
Village one night. Another dinner, yum! Those of you that know me, know I don’t do a lot of
cooking. Not that I like to eat out a lot, but Dave does most of our cooking. So I guess he was
probably more enthused at the dinners out than I was. Less work for him.... although I do the
dishes when he cooks and it isn’t always a fair trade-off.
•••••••
Dave had a busy month also. He attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Save-ALot store in West Irvine, plus did a lot of running around doing his usual advertising stuff. He
was kind enough to work Bingo for me one night, as I had been to the dentist earlier that day
and wasn’t too sure I was ready to walk about the Bingo floor for five or six hours. He said he
had fun, I’m sure those of you playing Bingo that night got quite the laugh, as he can be quite
hilarious.
We also attended the Mountain Park Dragway awards banquet in February. Dave has been
chomping at the bit to get back to racing season. He received a very nice coat at the banquet and
was announced as the new Marketing Director for the drag strip. He’s a busy guy, huh?
•••••••
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the end of February. For months, I’ve been anticipating the
last day of the month. You see, my sister and her husband are coming out for a visit. And they
are bringing Jocelyn with them. You know, the grandbaby. And as happy as I am to see the
grandbaby, I’m just as excited to see my sister and her family. I haven’t seem Roben since February of 2007, a very long two years. It just hasn’t jived that we could plan a visit with each other.
Either she is too busy or I am. So, our daughter talked Roben into coming out while Jen and
her husband are in Las Vegas watching the March Madness tournament. Seems like a great plan
huh? And it is, really it is. I’m very excited.
I didn’t expect the hitch. And it’s a big hitch. You see, my grandmother passed away in
Idaho on February 19th. It was very unexpected, although she has fought health crises several
times in the past few years. She always pulled through. But, not this time. She has gone home to
see her family that has passed before her. It’s hard to even explain how much my Grandma Alice
meant to me. So I won’t even begin to try. I’ll just say that an amazing woman left our lives this
past month.

•••••••
So, to end this.... I’ve been extremely rushed getting this edition of All Things Country
ready for the printers. At times this weekend, I didn’t think I’d get it done. But I have. If you
have submitted a story or poem to us and it is not in this month’s edition, please be patient. I’ve
got it saved here on my desk and it will be in our April edition. We appreciate all the contributions that our readers give us and love to publish your good news, whether it be a short story,
poem or an event happening in your lives. Keep sending them in.
Abby puts up with Sheba, our newest addition.
•••••••
The puppy has blended in well with our family. Abby is tolerating her, although they do
play well together. Dr. Linda tells us that Sheba is a very intelligent dog and we definitely agree.
She knows to go to her box at ‘bedtime’, to go outside when she needs to and to stay down when
told. Heck, that’s already about a two-hundred-percent improvement over the Abby dog.
•••••••
I guess I’ll end this and get that same behind I sit on all the time ready to get on an airplane
in the morning. I’ll be flying back to Idaho for a quick visit before coming back to Kentucky to
get ready for my sister’s visit. She is still coming, so I still have that visit to look forward to. I
just wish I could have talked her into coming out to help me clean my house before my sister
comes to visit.......
Have a great month everyone. Be safe ... and lets hope spring arrives soon!
Until next month ... Pam

Who Must File a 2008 Income
Tax Return?
By Tamara Rice, CPA
S
trange as it may seem, the IRS doesn’t want everybody to file an income tax return. The
reason is simple: Processing tax returns takes time and money. The IRS doesn’t want to
use its resources handling returns that weren’t necessary to file in the first place.

Who should file a return? The rules for filing 2008 tax returns are straightforward for most
people.
• Single taxpayers (including those who are divorced or legally separated): If you’re under
65 and had gross income of at least $8,950 in 2008, you must file. If you’re 65 or older, the cutoff is $10,300.
• “Head of Household” taxpayers (generally, unmarried people who provide a home to a
child or other dependent): If you’re under 65 and had income of at least $11,500, you’ll need to
file. If you’re 65 or older, the cutoff is $12,850.
• Married taxpayers filing jointly: Filing is required if both spouses are under 65 and income is at least $17,900. If one spouse is 65 or older, the cutoff is $18,950. If both spouses are
65 or older, gross income must be at least $20,000 to require filing. If you were married but not
living with your spouse at the end of the year, filing is required if you have income of $3,500 or
more, regardless of your age.
• Married taxpayers filing separately: If you made at least $3,500, you must file, regardless
of your age.
Different IRS rules govern filing for certain widows and widowers, dependents, those who
owe special taxes (e.g. self-employment tax), children under age 19, and aliens.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
It’s worth looking into your filing requirements. This year you may not have to file at all. If
you have a refund coming you will want to file regardless of your income level. If you need more
information or assistance with tax filing, please call our office at 723-1935.

Understanding Real Estate Terminology
• Fabric • Thread
• Quilt Batting
• Fat Quarters
By Traci Dean, REALTOR, CENTURY 21 Gold
Purchasing a home can be a complicated and confusing process, especially for
first-time buyers. Throughout the process, first-time home buyers will encounter a
variety of unfamiliar real estate terms. There are several key terms associated with
purchasing real estate that are helpful to learn.
Open Mondays & Tuesdays, 1 to 9pm
Thursdays & Fridays, 6 to 9pm
Closed Wednesdays & Sundays
Open Saturdays By Appointment
For example, many buyers confuse the terms broker and salesperson. A broker
is a properly licensed individual, or corporation, who serves as a special agent in the
purchase and sale of real estate, a salesperson is an individual employed or associated
by written agreement by the broker as an independent contractor. The salesperson
facilitates the purchase or sale of real estate.
Once you decide to purchase, a salesperson will prepare a sales contract to present to the seller along with your earnest money deposit. The sales contract is the
document through which the seller agrees to give possession and title of property to
the buyer upon full payment of the purchase price and performance of agreed-upon
conditions. The earnest money is a buyer’s partial payment, as a show of good faith,
to make the contract binding. Often, the earnest money is held in an escrow account.
Escrow is the process by which money is held by a disinterested party until the terms
of the escrow instructions are fulfilled.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
After the buyer and seller have signed the contract, the buyer must obtain a
mortgage note by presenting the contract to a mortgage lender. The note is the buyer’s promise to pay the purchase price of the real estate in addition to a stated interest
rate over a specified period of time. A mortgage lender places a lien on the property, or
mortgage, and this secures the mortgage note.
The buyer pays interest money to the lender exchange for the use of money borrowed. Interest is usually referred to as APR or annual percentage rate. Interest is paid
on the principle, the capital sum the buyer owes. Interest payments may be disguised
in the form of points. Points are an upfront cost which may be paid by either the
buyer or seller or both in conventional loans.
In general, there are two types of conventional loans that a buyer can obtain. A
fixed rate loan has the same rate of interest for the life of the loan, usually 14 to
30 years. An adjustable rate loan or adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) provides a
discounted initial rate, which changes after a set period of time. The rate can’t exceed
the interest rate cap or ceiling allowed on such loans for any one adjustment period.
Some ARM’s have a lifetime cap on interest. The buyer makes the loan and interest
payments to the lender through amortization, the systematic payment and retirement of debt over a set period of time.
Once the contract has been signed and a mortgage note obtained, the buyer and
seller must legally close the real estate transaction. The closing is a meeting where
the buyer, seller and their attorneys review, sign and exchange the final documents.
At the closing, the buyer receives the appraisal report, an estimate of the property’s
value with the appraiser’s signature, certification and sporting documents. The buyer
also receives the title and the deed. The title shows evidence of the buyer’s ownership
of the property while the deed legally transfers the title from the seller to the buyer.
The final document the buyer receives at closing is a title insurance policy, insurance
against the loss of the title if it’s found to be imperfect.
Buyers should plan on at least four to twelve weeks for a typical real estate transaction. The process is difficult and at times, intimidating. A general understanding of
real estate terminology and chronology of the transaction, however, will help any real
estate novice to confidently buy his or her first home.

Hemlock woolly adelgid spreads further west
T
he hemlock woolly adelgid has moved farther west and recently was found on trees at
Natural Bridge State Park in Powell County and the Big South Fork in McCreary County.
University of Kentucky Entomology Professor Lynne Rieske-Kinney is working to monitor, study and control the spread of the insect that can devastate Eastern hemlock trees. UK
is trying to learn to manage the hemlock woolly adelgid to preserve the Eastern hemlock because without intervention, this insect could cause the loss of that tree species in Kentucky’s
forests.
Eastern hemlock is a particularly important tree in the state’s forests. It usually is found
along stream banks and is crucial to stream health and water quality. Eastern hemlock trees
regulate stream temperatures, control sedimentation and provide a resource for wildlife and
stream organisms. If hemlocks were to disappear due to the adelgid, it would change the composition and structure of Kentucky’s forests and irreparably alter watershed characteristics.
The hemlock woolly adelgid feeds at the base of a tree’s needles, removing carbohydrates
and photosynthates. With their feeding, the trees begin to weaken and can die. About the size
of a pinhead, hemlock woolly adelgids are not easily detected until they settle on a host and
begin secreting a white, woolly mass.
The pest is rapidly spreading and could be distributed throughout the state relatively
soon. Rieske-Kinney and UK Forestry Assistant Professor Songlin Fei are using remote sensing
technologies to locate hemlocks in the state’s forests and track the spread of the adelgid. The
hemlock woolly adelgid spreads most readily by songbirds, and there are a number of songbird
species that are hemlock dependent. It can also be transported other ways, including by wind
currents or by latching onto other forms of wildlife.

Hemlock woolly adelgid, Continued from Page 9
Since the pest was first discovered in southeastern Kentucky in 2006, hundreds of trees
have been treated by a systemic insecticide injection into the root zone. There have also been
several releases of biological control agents including two species of predatory beetles.
Rieske-Kinney is also evaluating the adelgid’s effects on forest structure and composition
and watershed characteristics and exploring what characteristics of the Eastern hemlock make
it so susceptible to the pest, with the goal of identifying specific mechanisms of host plant
resistance. In collaboration with Entomology Assistant Professor James Harwood, she is also
evaluating the role native predators may play in regulating adelgid populations, with the hope
that the effectiveness of these native predators might be enhanced through forest management
practices.

Cancer Massage...
T
reating cancer and cancer pain have come a long way. Unfortunately, some medications
and therapies used to treat cancer pain have troublesome side effects. Researchers now
believe that massage therapy may be helpful to cancer patients for both its physical and
emotional benefits. Physically, massage may decrease swelling, improve circulation, and relax
muscle spasms. Psychologically, massage may promote relaxation, cause the release of endorphins (chemicals in the body that help with pain), and help patients take their minds off their
pain.
Many cancer centers offer massage therapy as part of their approach to managing cancer.
While massage therapy does not offer sustained relief for pain, researchers say it does help with
short-term pain relief and mood elevation.
If you are a cancer patient, talk with your primary care doctor or your oncologist before
receiving massage to find out what is safe and if there are any techniques you should avoid or
modify. Consider finding a licensed massage therapist who is experienced in treating cancer pa- Powell County Livestock Producers Association members David Neal, Carol Jean Holtients. Massage therapists trained in cancer massage are aware of adaptations needed for cancer lon and June bug Todd put on the Ritz last month during the Healthy Heart Dinner

March brings a return to the track
R
Hello race fans. Now, that’s music to my ears. Yes, it’s March and we get to enjoy the sights and sounds of drag racing as
Mountain Park Dragway opens their gates for the 2009 racing season. It’s hard to believe that it is that time again.
Pam and I attended the end of year banquet on February 21st in Clay City. We drove over to the AmVets Building in the
rain and drove home in the snow. It’s kind of hard to envision the racing season with snow on the ground. But March is the
month to get the cars, bikes and trucks out and dust them off. Wax ‘em up and make those yearly test runs that will prepare
you for the season.
But, back to the banquet. As always, the Kennon family handled the 200 plus guests in attendance with lots of door prizes
and a great BBQ dinner, catered by Sonny’s BBQ. The food was really delicious. But not even close to the desserts. They
are always the best. Mary Helen Kennon prepares them all from scratch, from her own recipes. When you make it to the
track this season, make sure you try out the homemade brownies or peanut butter roll. They are the best.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
Some track procedures were voted on at the banquet, along with the presentation of awards and trophies to all the winners.
If you are a racer and you don’t attend, you miss out on the chance to voice your opinion on how things are run at the track.
The overall discussion that is held at the banquet is to allow all racers to voice their opinions and to be heard. So, if you
don’t attend, you can’t help in the decisions that make Mountain Park Dragway a great place to race.
Another announcement at the banquet was that of my new position as Marketing Director for the track this year. I will be
bringing some new sponsors on board, in
addition to the fine sponsors that already
support the track. I will still be involved in
my photography work at the track also.
The dragstrip at Clay City brings alot of
traffic into the area and we want to bring
even more. I’m hoping to do some more
promotion of the track and get more spectators to come out for the races.
We hope to see you at the first Test and
Tune, I hope that we can fill the pits and
the stands every weekend this year. There
is a schedule of all the races at the track
this year, so make sure you save it in a
safe place so you don’t miss any of the
great action at Mountain Park Dragway.
We hope to have a great year, not only for
the racers but also for the spectators.
Until next time..... Dave

What’s that smell in the Yard?
F
or many of us the first mowing of grass is usually an enjoyable event. It signals the time of
year for picnics and fishing in the creek. The first mowing this season may be a little less
enjoyable because of a few pesky weeds in the lawn. Most all of us can tell when someone
has mowed the yard for the first time this year due to the smell of wild onion. Even the County
agent’s yard has them!
It seems wild onions are everywhere this year, even in the more manicured lawns. Another
weed that has everyone talking this year is the pretty little purple flower which has found its
way into our lawns and fields. We tend to call the weed-henbit, but the weed is actually purple
deadnettle. Purple deadnettle and henbit are in the same family. I suppose they are distant
cousins, but like many of your cousins, they look very similar. This plant is a winter annual
plant that comes up in late fall, goes through its short life cycle during the winter then blooms
in April. The primary difference between purple deadnettle and henbit is the length and the
arrangement of the flowers.
Most people want to know what to do with this weed. For the most part, purple deadnettle
is on its way out. Once the plant blooms, it’s pretty much over. Spraying with a weed control
chemical containing 2-4D will kill the plant, but so will warm weather and bright sunshine. For
most of us, just mow over it, pull it up and wait on the fescue underneath the weed.
For other pesky weeds (such as the wild onion), which are winter annual broadleaf weeds,
chemicals which contain 2-4D can be used to kill them, although this past week, with its’ harsh
winds would not have been a good time to apply 2-4D. This chemical will drift easily when you
have warm windy days and the chemical you spray on your lawn can easily drift over to your
neighbor’s tulips or daffodils. Crabgrass prevention should also begin soon, (by April 10), as
this type weed control must be applied before the weed seeds germinate.
Time to Plant Rhubarb and Asparagus
It has come the time of year when I just have to get outside and plant something. That
something might be a new apple tree, a new grape vine or maybe a few strawberry plants.

All little farms and homesteads need a few asparagus and rhubarb plants as well. Both
these plants are perennial plants that outlast many of the homes which they were planted near.
You will find both rhubarb and asparagus crowns at your local department store-garden centers
and farm stores. Both these plants need a well-drained, sunny area in which to reside. Neither
of these plants will grow well in wet areas as the crowns will rot. If drainage is a problem in your
yard, plant in a raised bed. Keep these plants in an area where the weed eater or lawnmower or
rotary tiller will not be tempted to dig them up or mow them over.

Plant asparagus crowns 8 inches deep, at least 18 inches away from the next asparagus
plant. Asparagus plants benefit from good compost or well rotted manure. Feed plants each
spring for best results. Harvest asparagus shoots the second year after planting.
Rhubarb plantings do well if you prepare some old compost or well rotted manure into the
planting hole. Plant here in March and keep rhubarb mulched and weeded. You should be able

Now I find as I grow older that I think about
them more,
Grandpa passed in nineteen-sixty, grandma
passed in sixty-four,
Those were years I’ll always treasure, and a great
part of my past,
Forever in my heart and memory, for as long as
time will last.
From the year of forty-seven, to the year twothousand-nine,
Everyone has precious memories, let me tell
you about mine.
I stayed with my Grandparents, the were really
pretty cool,
From the year that I turned two till I was old
enough for school.
In Memory Of Willie and Fanny Hedge
They lived up in the hollow, half a mile from
mom and dad,
Though I was small I still remember all the good
times that we had.
We had corn meal mush for supper, every night
it was the same,
And I remember how they used to call me by my
middle name.
Granny always nagged at grandpa for most
anything he’d do
And he’d always give her that blank look like he
didn’t have a clue.
Why do you chew that tobacco and what are you
spitting in?
Every time she would complain he’d look at me
and wink and grin.
The way my grandpa moved a snail would have
a faster pace,
His posture showed the years of hard work
spent on that old place.
I guess we can’t blame grandma if she got a
little mean
For my father was her first child, she gave birth
at thirteen.
Because
we care
about
your
hair!

Dreaming Of Spring
Winter’s been a long cold ride
There’s not much one can do outside
And being inside’s never been my thing.
This afternoon as I reclined
In that big Lazy Boy of mine
I drifted off to sleep and dreamed of Spring.
I dreamed of walking thru green fields
Of Redbud blooms and daffodils
And beams of Sun that left me feeling warm.
I watched spring rabbits run and play
And in the hills not far away
I hear the rumble of a thunder storm.
The kind of sleep that leaves you blessed
With scenes of Mother Natures best
With leaves of green and skies of baby blue.
It seems I hear a blue bird’s song
That tells me it wont be too long
Until this dream I’m having will come true.

Brrrr... no more ice!
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
The ice storm that hit Kentucky did major damage to trees in the
area. If the weight of the ice didn’t break the tree, chances are
the tree limbs straightened back up, as the above willow tree did
on the C2H2 Farm in Estill County. Trees covered the driveway
in both directions for a time, before a path was cut to get out. We
were without power for about 36 hours, much less than lots of electric customers throughout the state.

Life on the
Ponderosa….
By Barb Cartwright,
Hunters, Washington

ALL THINGS COUNTRY
rom what I understand from our weatherman, Kentucky seems to be looking more and
more like the Northwest this winter! I never
realized that your beautiful warm state could
rival mine for the amount of ice one could accumulate
in a 24 hour period. Thankfully we have no ice to report on this winter – and I feel your pain! The beautiful plants and trees that will need to be replanted will
help stimulate the economy as you purchase new ones
from Ravenna Florist & Greenhouse! I love to go to
our local flower shop (an hour drive) to just soak up
the spring that will be…..I am just aching to put those
little seeds in the soil, but alas I will have to be patient
as it is too cold outside to even think of putting anything in our greenhouse.
I must admit I have begun to turn our living room
into an indoor greenhouse, as I know if those plants
don’t get started soon they will not produce anything
edible by the time we get frost in the fall. Our outdoor
growing season is from late May to very early September! One year we had frost on June 5th and I had to
replant everything….no tomatoes that year. Over the years I have learned that it is best to start
the seeds by the first of March, try not to plant outdoors in the ‘real’ garden until almost June;
except for the cold crops such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and peas, and then watch the news
diligently for the first two weeks and run out like a fool with my plastic and blankets (yes blankets) to cover those babies up for the night. It works! We have been enjoying the ‘fruits of our
labor’ each winter since we figured this out. From the looks of your weather – some of you may
need to turn your living space into a greenhouse soon if it doesn’t straighten up!
This is also the time of year that we thoroughly enjoy the winter. My husband and kids’ snow
ski and snowboard at 49° North ski hill, which is a short hour drive from our place. I haven’t
skied in a few years explaining to the kids that mom can’t get hurt or nothing will get done! They
don’t know the real reason is that I LOVE the quiet; when they have all gone, to just sit and sew
on my denim quilts, skip lunch and lose myself in a good book. I think if I lived in Irvine I would
have to sneak over to Hart and Sole for a nice massage!
Barb Cartwright stands with two of her children after a day on
the ski hill. Below is the quilt she is working on.

The peace is usually broken with the excited barking coming from our
three dogs as they announce the arrival of their favorite humans. We
have a ‘mud / snow’ room so all the wet snow clothes get hung around
the wood stove to dry for the next trip. I get to hear all the exciting near
misses from the day as I make them a cup of cocoa and dinner. We have
been very blessed not to have any injuries at the ski hill!
Speaking of quilts – I see I missed what looks to be a very fun time
at your local quilt show! I love all quilts, however I make mine from old
blue jeans; I use the pockets, zippers and ‘butts’ as well as the seams,
hammer pockets and any other interesting item I find on them- such
as torn up knees. I just find a nice scrap of flannel to sew behind the
worn area and it adds a lot of character to the quilt. In the past I would
either use batting and fabric for the backing or find a new thin quilt that
I would sew on as the back. With the amount of great fleece they have
available I use it quite a bit now. I have made denim quilts for many
‘special’ occasions like weddings, birthdays or even death. Whoever I
am making the quilt for can usually round up a few pair of ‘old favorites’
that I cut apart and they are on your bed to remember for a life time. Or
almost! The first quilt I ever made was for my husband and I the second
year we were married which was 28 years ago. It is now so thin it doesn’t
keep us warm in the winter….So that is my project to finish, as I think
we still have a bit of winter left! Sure hope yours goes away soon or you
might just need to start cutting up those old jeans……
