Latest book on market Butler’s star keeps rising Kirker Butler’s star in television and writing has risen even higher in the heavens of entertainment. The former Ohio County resident and graduate of Ohio County High is an Emmy-nominated writer and producer who now makes his home in Los Angeles with his family. His credits include Family Guy, the Cleveland Show, The neighbors, and his latest venture, Galavant, which pre- miered on ABC on January 4. Now Butler has authored another book, “Pretty Ugly”, which is drawing rave reviews from several in his profession. One such verbal hand clapping came from Stephen Colbert, American political satirist, writer, producer, singer, television host, actor, media critic and comedian. “Pretty Ugly is everything you’d want in a novel,” Colbert said. “It’s funny, poignant and exceedingly well-written.” ‘Published by Thomas Jerry Stahl, author of “Hap- Dunne Books-St. Martin’s py Mutant Baby Pills”, placSee Butler page 2-A es Butler in the company of pantheon of comic American fiction kings Nathanael West and Jerry Southern. “Let us now add the name of Kirker Butler,” Stahl said. “In fine-tuned, generous prose that careens from screamingly funny to downright poignant, Pretty Ugly tells the tale of Miranda Ford, a pretty little girl with big-time beauty pageant dreams. Butler has written a laugh-out-loud joy ride of a book, the kind you don’t want to finish.” Kirker Butler Kristy Luttrell in Paris Teaching English to French By: Savannah Pennington teaching English to high octimesnews.com When presented with the school students in Paris, opportunity of a lifetime, France.

The body of John Morris, 22, no address listed, was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in a mobile home on Doug Hill Road following a See Suspect page 2-A Page A-2 January 21, 2015, Times-News Luttrell teaching English to French s the world, Lutrell said the experience is one that she will carry with her for the rest of her life. “I was overwhelmed with both extreme excitement and fear of the unknown,” she said of learning of her acceptance into the teaching program. “My family also seemed to be full of mixed feelings: sad that we’d be separated by an ocean for so long, but ultimately happy for me to have this new experience.” The 26 year-old decided to apply for TAPIF, the Teaching Suspect Assistant Program in France, following her December 2013 graduation from the University of Louisville. Luttrell, who holds a master’s degree in English, with an emphasis on linguistics, and a bachelor’s in English and French, said that she was inspired to apply after her fellow students spoke highly of the program. Luttrell had already spent two summers in France in study abroad programs, so she said she decided to take a leap of faith. “I wasn’t sure what my next Continued from page 1-A report to McLean County 911 dispatch that shots were fired in that area. In a subsequent press release, the KSP said Cody A. Ross, 22, Owensboro, fled the scene of the shooting and was later arrested following a vehicle accident in Ohio County. The location of that accident was not given. Tax Continued from page 1-A proximately 2,000 tax returns have been filed for eligible Ohio County families in the past eight years. “This service can save families from $100 to $200 in tax preparation and filing fees and they then can use those dollars to pay household expenses they ofter struggle with to meet,” McLemore said. Internal Revenue Service research, McLemore said, indicates as many asa 15 to 20 per cent of eligible families fail to receive refundable earned income credit because they do not file tax returns. The average EIC refund, he said, is nearly $2,000. Other volunteers serving at the center’s tax site include Linda Cox, Heather Goff, Kittye King, Don and Edna Sue McLemore, Troy Richards, Betty Rucker, Lori Widmar, Patricia Cecil and Sherwood Kirk. Those taking advantage of the free service are served on a first-come, first-served basis. Required information includes a picture identification card, Social Security information on individuals and family members involved, information involving additional income such as Social Security, alimony for maintenance and unemployment and health insurance statements. Arrest Ross was charged with tampering with physical evidence, leaving the scene of an accident, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance not in a proper container. Corey King, public information officer with the KSP, said Monday that Ross has not been charged in the shooting but remains incarcerated in the Ohio County Detention Center pending a McLean County Grand Jury probe of the incident. “Ross’ incarceration gives us more time to paint a better picture of what actually happened,” King said. “We’ll present what information we have to the grand jury and allow those people to decide if Ross did or did not commit the murder.” It was reported by one law enforcement source that there were four people in the mobile home at the time of the shooting, but the other three have not been identified. “Our investigation leads us to look at Ross and his involvement in the incident and it will be up to the grand jury for a resolution in this case,” King said. “We think that’s the best way for this case to be handled.” An update to the KSP’s earlier news release said Morris’ body was sent to Louisville for an autopsy and that the procedure did determine that the victim did die of multiple gunshot wounds. move was, so I decided in January 2014 to just apply for TAPIF and see what happened,” she said. “With this program, I figured I could see how I liked teaching and live in France at the same time, so it seemed like it could be a great next move.” The application process was extensive. Luttrell had to provide information about her work, academics, experience teaching and experience living abroad as well as legal documents, two letters of recommendation and a statement of purpose essay written entirely in French. On April 1, she received news that she had been accepted into the program and that she would be teaching in the city – a relief since she was hesitant to accept a position in a more rural part of the country. “I actually was placed right in the suburbs of Paris, so there for about 5 minutes about a subject they’ve learned about in class. The other teachers send me small groups with instructions to do whatever I want, as long as I’m helping the students become more comfortable speaking English. “For the vast majority, this task isn’t difficult--English is such a ubiquitous language now, they’re already pretty enthusiastic about improving their skills,” she continued. “I always have activities and discussions planned, but if we finish up early, I know we can always chat about American was no debate--there’s no way I could pass up that opportunity. I was already in love with the city from spending two summers studying abroad there.” She arrived in the country in September, two weeks before classes started, and came home for a two-week visit around Christmas. While working in France, Luttrell spends about 12 hours each week working with nine different English teachers. “That seemed extremely short to me, until I found out that full time teachers in this region only work 15 or 18 hours per week, depending on their rank,” she said. “Four of those teachers send their students to me to practice for their huge end-of-the-year exam, the baccalaureate. They come prepared to speak TV shows--Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead are a few common favorites of French teenagers!” Luttrell explained that the French educational system has a very different structure than we have in the United States. “The high school where I work is open from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, but the students don’t spend that entire time in class,” she said. “Depending on the intensity of their schedules, they have a few free periods per day, as well as everyone having a two hour lunch break. Students are free to go where they wish, on or off campus. They’re also allowed to smoke anywhere outdoors on campus, and the majority of students take advantage of that.” In her spare time, Luttrell Butler Press, Butler’s book is a satirical look at a dysfunctional southern family, complete with an overbearing stage mom, a nine-year-old pageant queen, a cheating husband, his teenage girlfriend, a crazy grandmother and Jesus,” said Michelle Blankenship, with Blankenship Public Relations. “Doing what satire has done for centuries, Butler’s novel slyly turns the mirror on ourselves. It’s really funny, but, it’s also pretty ugly.” Blankenship labels Butler Continued from page 1-A charged with wanton endangerment in the second degree. Sarah Peach, Rockport, who was originally charged with making a false statement to a sheriff department investigator following the shooting of a dog, was later charged with harassing communications. According to the complaint report, Peach made harassing calls to at least one person following her release from the Ohio County Detention Center. continued from page 1-A Jan Continued from page 1-A as a bright, new voice in satirical literature. “Butler dissects our culture’s current state of affairs,” she said. Butler is co-executive producer of Galavant, a show being hailed as the mostwatched television production on its opening night, with an estimated 7.3 million viewers. Butler’s first episode on the show, “Dungeons and Dragon Lady”, will air Sunday night, with guest star Ricky Gervais. Who has takes the train into the city a few times each week. She said she has already seen nearly every major tourist attraction in Paris, but says there is always more to explore. While in the program, Luttrell also has eight weeks of paid vacation, and has already used some of that time by visiting Rome in October. Over the next four months, she said she hopes to visit Poland, Switzerland, London, Amsterdam and Spain. Luttrell was also in Paris during the Jan. 7 terrorist attacks on the offices of French magazine Charlie Hedbo that left 12 people dead. “ I felt like I had been somewhat desensitized to the horror of the attack because I grew up in the U.S.,” she said. “I had no idea how traumatic the shooting and subsequent hostage situations were for the French people at first. But for them, it was the worst attack on their country in 20 years.” Luttrell said she stayed out of the heart of the city for a few days, but heard reports of the heightened security in Paris. “ I didn’t go into the city until Friday evening, and I was a bit nervous,” she said. “But there was nothing out of the ordinary in that area. Some of my friends talked about all the extra security they had seen around Paris earlier that day, though.” On Jan. 11, Luttrell participated in the Marche Républicaine, a massive demonstration in which millions of people came to the city to show support and solidarity for the victims of the attacks. “That turned out to be an awesome experience,” she said. “Nothing really happened, as far as speeches or marching, but the feeling of three million people coming together to stand up for freedom of expression was probably once in a lifetime.” In April, Luttrell plans to return home to Ohio County to spend a few weeks with her parents – Darren and Debbie – and her brothers Josh and Jeffery. Then, she said she will return to Louisville to pursue her career. In the meantime, she said she plans to enjoy every moment in Paris and continue making memories. “Mostly, I think my favorite memories will be just walking around the city, knowing I have the option to go wherever I want in Paris, for an entire seven months,” she said. “I try to always appreciate the fact that this is a freedom that I’ll probably never have again.” ?

Over 120 House bills were filed on the session’s first day on Tuesday including House Bill 1, typically the top priority of House majority leadership in any legislative session. This session’s HB 1—the House’s local option sales tax measure—is bipartisan, with both House Speaker Greg Stumbo and House Mi- nority Floor Leader Jeff Hoover signed on as its primary sponsors. Should the bill pass, voters statewide would determine whether the General Assembly could give cities or counties the ability to levy up to a one-cent sales temporary tax for construction projects, as decided by local referendum. A worsening heroin problem in the Commonwealth is also expected to be addressed this session, with several bills filed already to tackle the issue. Proposed provisions would maximize sentencing for heroin dealers, require reporting of overdose deaths, and allow emergency responders to use the rescue drug Naloxone to treat overdoses, Wondal Lee Bates, 81, of Dundee, passed away Friday, Jan. 16, 2015, at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. He was born March 7, 1933, to the late Jesse Lee Bates and the late Lena Mae Wells Bates Gibbs. He was a retired industrial truck repairman for Ford Motor Company. Survivors include his wife, Maxine Lauerman Bates of Dundee; one son, J.T. Bates of Cedar Lake, Indiana; five stepsons, Chris Centracchio of Morgantown, Jeffrey Centracchio of Texas, Jeremy Centracchio of Gallatin, Tennessee, Jason Centracchio of Beth Page, Tennessee, and David Centracchio of Dundee; one stepdaughter, Melissa Girdley of Tuscon, Arizona; one brother, JR Bates of Indiana; four sisters, Verlean Ramos of Vine Grove, Kentucky, Linda Collins of Virginia, Brenda Keown and Donna Fried of Kentucky and Earlin Woods of North Carolina.

Wondal Lee Bates among other purposes. Proposals on these issues and more are expected to begin flowing in and out of House standing committees and on to the House floor for a vote by all members when the General Assembly returns on Feb. 3 from its session break scheduled for January 10 through Feb. 2. This first week— considered “Part I”—is designed for leadership elections, organizing committees, filing of bills, and lots of ceremony. Beyond completing this organizational work, the General Assembly heard from Governor Steve Beshear Wednesday evening as he gave the final State of the Commonwealth address of his administration. He used his remarks to note the challenges and opportunities facing Kentucky since he first took office in late 2007. Over the last seven years, for example, the state’s budget has been cut 15 times for a combined total of $16 billion. The economic trend behind that, however, appears to be reversing. He said that since the General Assembly revamped the state’s business incentives in 2009, these new programs have helped about 700 businesses locate here or expand, with investment nearly reaching $10 billion. If these projects meet their goals, they will save or create about 57,000 jobs. In education, he said that the college and career-readiness rate of our graduating high school students has grown from 38 percent in 2011 to more than 60 percent now, and our graduation rate is the 12th best nationwide and better than five of our seven surrounding states. In focusing on legislation being considered this year, he also said it is imperative that the General Assembly pass a new law combating the state’s Shirley J. Greer Shirley J. Greer, 79, passed away Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015, at the Ohio County Hospital. She was born in Jenkins, Kentucky, on June 11, 1935, to the late Augustus H. and Nettie Lipps Hayes. She was a LPN and worked at several nursing homes in the area. She was of the Baptist faith and enjoyed her work helping people in the nursing homes. Shirley was preceded in death by her son, Michael Neal Greer.

And that would be a blessing of unequaled proportions. But, terrorism in all of its deadly and hideous measurements still does exist and who’s to say it won’t some day - with the Twin Towers tragedy and the Boston Marathon last year already being painful reminders - again strike at the very heart of our country. No, we don’t purport to be prophets of doom or to ignite a wave of panic. We do suggest that what’s recently happened in Paris, France, and other terrorist-prone countries can very easily spread to our shores. Terrorism knows no boundaries. Those who devote their lives to senseless killing have only one goal in mind: Kill and keep on killing. Most targets are randomly selected, with a sole thought in mind that death here will create fear elsewhere. most cases they don’t let you know they’re going to strike until after they’ve struck. That’s a sick philosophy born of sick or treacherous minds. Can we compete? We’re sure there are many capable minds working on that question. Whether or not they have any workable answers is anybody’s guess. Former President Harry Truman had an answer for Japan during World War 11, but that solution involved the killing of a object was really worth. I remember my father would always say after some outlandish bid, "I sure would've loved to have sold that to that guy." Then he would stare out into space a little bit thinking about that whole idea. He always wanted to be the seller and not the buyer. Then my wife hit me with a difficult question. "Is there something you would never sell for 2 ½ million dollars?" What a loaded question. I am not even sure what 2 ½ million dollars is worth! I have never seen that much money in my whole life and probably never will. But some people have put value on certain things and are willing to part with something if someone comes up with the right price. People put value on things that really are not that important. An old penny worth 2 ½ million dollars cannot be used for anything practical. What can you buy with that penny? What is that man going to use that 2 ½ million dollar penny for? Just look at it? I think Solomon had the right idea when he wrote, "For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it" (Proverbs 8:11). Some things in life you cannot put a price on, it is a joy to discover those things and sometimes those things are people. Money woes expose couple’s communication problems A penny for your thoughts By: Dr. James L. Snyder The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I were going into a store to do some shopping. Her idea, not mine. Halfway to the door, I noticed a penny on the ground so, being who I am, I bent over to pick up the penny. It is a habit I picked up the day I was born. "What are you doing?" My wife gasped, thinking something was wrong. "I found a penny and I picked it up. Finder's keepers, loser's weepers." And I threw a smile in her direction. She looked at me and said, "What in the world did you do that for?" "You know what they say, a penny saved is a penny earned." "It's just a penny. What in the world can you do with a penny?" As I stuffed the penny in my pocket, I looked at her and said, "I can stuff this penny in my pocket." Then I gave her a sarcastic smile as wide as the Grand Canyon, but not quite as deep. She sadly shook her head as we went into the store together. I, one penny richer and smiling all the way. Pennies usually have that effect on me. I know a penny is not worth that much. I just cannot resist picking up a penny I find on the ground. I guess it is that Pennsylvania Dutch attitude I was born with. I never saw a penny I did not want to pick up. I can remember many a time at a checkout counter I was one or two pennies short and had to break a $20 bill. You know what it is like to break a $20 bill? So, I try to have a little backlog of pennies for just such emergencies, hoping I will never need them. Do not let this get around, but on my dresser in my bedroom is a jar full of pennies. I found them here and there. One time I remember finding 17 pennies on the ground in one spot. What a great day that was. My wife is always kidding me about this and when I am in some kind of meditative mood, or so I want her to think I am, she will direct this to me, "A penny for your thoughts!" I only look at her and smile, the temptation is there because I can always use another penny and how many thoughts are really worth a penny? Especially mine. Then a strange thing happened. We were home watching the news when the story of the day was somebody auctioned off a penny for 2 ½ million dollars. If you do not think that got my attention! Just one penny brought all that money. I know right here I would sell all of my pennies for half that amount. Anybody looking for a bargain? After all, I am not really greedy. I looked at my wife, smiled broadly, and said, "A penny for your thoughts!" "Who," she finally said in a disgusting sort of tone, "would pay 2 ½ million dollars for one penny?" "I don't know," I retorted, "but I know who would sell one for 2 ½ million dollars." She glanced towards the bedroom where my pennies were at I said, "Don't even think it." Then we both had a good laugh together. As much as I appreciate pennies, I am not going to go crazy about their value. I know a 2 ½ million dollar penny is old and has quite a bit of history behind it, but it will be a long afternoon in the shower when I'm going to believe it's worth that much money. Who in the world put such a value on a thing like that? I remember my father taking me to auctions and it always amazed me how much people would pay for some things. They get so excited in the bidding and trying to outbid somebody else that oftentimes they would pay twice as much as the The Ohio County Times-News welcomes public involvement in the form of letters to the editor. Opinions, the newspaper’s management feels, should not be limited to staff members, but, rather, to anybody with a voice desiring to be heard. However, with space constraints, the newspaper asks that those submitting letters be mindful of the limitations and keep their submissions to a maximum of between 150 and 200 word. Excessively long letters cannot be accepted, but those contributors will be contacted and allowed to shorten their opinions or suggestions. lot of innocent people. any more than we can Besides, most terror- say all Chinese, all ists - so those who are Vietnamese or all Koresupposed to know say ans are anti-American. - are not concentrated And as treacherous in one particular area. as the Nazis were in They ply their trade World War 11, we could from many quarters, not attach that label to leaving open the prob- all Germans. ability that defending Terrorist are a speagainst them would be cial breed of people a gargantuan under- who devote their lives taking. to havoc, misery and It is generally believed unconscionable killing. that Muslins are the A lot of them see their root and soul of terror- treachery as some kind ists as they now exist of a holy vocation.

So no, Ohio County has no Twin Towers, no Boston Marathon and no serious ties to national or international politics. Still, what would be felt in New York or Washington, D.C. would be severely felt in our own little corner of the world. We have been one in war, one in patriotism and we would be one in grief over the pitfalls of others. Is there an answer? Do streams run uphill? Terrorists are like thieves in the night. In Rev.

I'm a firm believer in it, but my husband doesn't think it will work in our situation. Jim: Finances are a significant issue in any marriage. Disagreements about money can create huge problems between husband and wife, but the need for good communication is even more important. In fact, it's absolutely fundamental to the health and longevity of your relationship. So before tackling the question of a budget, I'd suggest you take steps to strengthen the foundation of your marriage, including some serious reading on the subject of marital communication and goal setting. (We can help with that -- see below.) That said, I'd hazard a guess that "your situation" is probably one that's faced by millions of families: Your bills are bigger than your paycheck and you're spending more than you're earning. The good news is that things are not really as hopeless as they seem. You may need to seek professional assistance, but if you can learn to communicate with each other, you and your husband can come up with a workable plan for gaining control of your finances. The key is to learn how to live on less than you earn. A budget will enable you to do this. In the process, it will also: -- Establish a spending plan. -- Encourage saving. -- Reduce stress. -- Allow for the unexpected. -- Encourage charitable giving. --Discourage debt. -- Facilitate flexibility. To set up a budget, you have to discuss and establish your priorities -- which can take you a long way in the direction of relational and financial harmony.

Should we assume the "airline versions" are free from inappropriate material? Bob Waliszewski, Director, Plugged-In: The short answer is, "No!" But that needs a bit of unpacking, given the rapidly changing ways airlines deliver movies. First, some aircraft within an airline's total fleet still offer in-flight films the "old-fashioned" way: an announcement about a single movie with everyone being encouraged to lower their window shades. If that's the case with your upcoming trip, you need to know that these particular airline versions can range from squeaky clean to quite problematic. Much of that has to do with the original movie itself. If the film is something like "Dolphin Tale 2" or "When the Game Stands Tall," you're fortunate because movies like these require little to no editing. But for motion pictures like "Let's Be Cops" and "The Heat" (both R-rated originally, and recently shown in-flight on at least one airline), it's nearly impossible to edit out all inappropriate content. Plus, my personal experience is that editors of in-flight movies rarely think like you and me! But there's something else at play in the sometimes-friendly skies these days. Many aircraft are wired for Wi-Fi and/or offer a plethora of media choices. I was recently on an international flight that advertised "over 1,800 channels of premium entertainment to keep you busy." Almost 2,000 options! Another domestic carrier I regularly fly offers DirecTV and on-demand films for flights over two hours. If you're flying an airline that delivers dozens -- if not hundreds -- of airborne media choices, do some research ahead of time. Airline entertainment options can often be found online; then cross-reference with Pluggedin.com to determine appropriateness. You're likely to find an encouraging and uplifting film for your children (and you) to view, right there in plane sight!

Investing in Family One of the greatest investments we can make is in our family. If realized it will bring a joyful return for them, our self, this community, and for God. If neglected, it will bring a pain that is not easily forgotten. The Bible says that “a child left to himself brings shame to his mother” (Pro. 29:15). And, “He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind” (11:29). Both of these verses emphasize the importance of people sacrificing for their family - with spouses loving one another and parents training their children to be responsible citizens. Those who have a family and refuse to make this investment are guaranteed a future of shame and disappointment. Our family needs our attention. They should be important enough to us to sacrifice our time, energy and money to interact with them. Obviously, we have other responsibilities that also demand our attention (Eph. 4:28; 1 Tim. 5:4), but we must never deprive our spouse or children of our devotion. They must always know they are significant to us. Those who abandon their family for career, hobbies, sports, drugs, or materialism are making a terrible trade. True success can never be found without gaining our family’s respect through a life of service (Pro. 31:27-31). The Lord said of Abraham, “For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice” (Gen. 18:19). People must see the same qualities in us if we are to make a positive difference in this world. A selfish, greedy, uncaring and “un-serving” person is useful to no one. The truly wealthy people are those who fear God, love others, and lead their family to heaven through faithful devotion. - Mike Thomas Radio Program on Sundays at 10:15 a.m. on 99.9 F.M.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebrated Alma Randolph, a native of Ohio County and who now makes her home in Owensboro, was on hand Monday to help mark the celebration of Martin Luther King Day at the Harvest House in Hartford. Randolph started and has continued a charity for deserving children in Owensboro and Daviess County for several years. The Rev. Otis Cunningham, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Central City, was the guest speaker during the Rev. Martin Luther King remembrance program Monday evening at the Harvest House in Hartford. Bishop Robert Randolph, pastor, said more than 150 people were in attendance, including his sister, Alma Randolph. “It was a great evening and a great program,” the pastor said.

Page A-16, January 21, 2015, Times-News Little Bit of Everything By: Dave McBride [email protected] As a youngster there were few things I enjoyed more during the winter months than sitting in front of a coalwood burning fireplace and watch as the flames danced from the fuel and up into the chimney. A simple pleasure, yes, but one a small boy could claim with regularity. And when the fascination with the flames dwindled, there always was the kitchen table where a piece of scrap paper and a few blunt crayons could serve to infringe on the world of real art and await the forever distant day when technical devices would crowd out such trivial forms of entertainment. But were they really trivial? Did it make no sense at all to park a young body in front of a fireplace, watch the dancing flames and wonder what happened to them once they disappeared up the chimney? And were the crude pictures created by a developing love for drawing do nothing but gather the dust of wasted time? The answers, as far as this old fossil is concerned, are yes to the first question and no to the second. Try what follows on for size. If you were so inclined, last Sunday was a major football day. Four professional teams put forth their best in a couple of games that would secure the two coveted positions in the upcoming Super Bowl game. In the living room of a home on Lydia Drive in Owensboro there was nestled a 50-plusyear-old father and his 16-year-old son, a 49-year-old uncle and an 83-year-old papaw. All were seated in front of a large flatscreen television for the intended purpose of watching the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks in a crucial NFL game. There also was a fireplace - without a fire on that particular day which oftentimes drew the attention of the older man and pulled him back to another day when there were no television sets, no interest in professional football games, no comfortable recliners or soft leather sofas on which to placate tired bones and............no high-tech electronic devices that effectively rob the human consciousness of something more important to do. You getting my drift? Don’t you already know that the father, the son and the uncle had their noses buried in hightech electronic devices that ruled out the necessity for conversation, football-watching, awareness of a world around them and necessary trips to the bathroom? The aged papaw sat wondering how he came to be “alone” in the room, how the years from then until now left him near to being alone in the procession of technology and how the three other people seated nearby didn’t know if it was Sunday or that the Japanese had surrendered to the U.S. in 1945. All they knew at that time was that the gadgets they were holding in one hand and pecking at with the other made them oblivious to all of the other things that were happening in the world around them - including a papaw fuming over the fact that three consumed humans had missed two touchdowns, a field goal and a cheerleader dressed in almost nothing. But that was okay, I guess. A lot of years from now they’ll sit around and talk about how they were mastered by technology and absolutely loved every minute of it. And that will be okay, too, I guess. Who - besides an old fossil like myself needs flames and chimneys and memories? OHIO COUNTY WEATHER Last Week’s Almanac: Jan. 12 - Jan. 18 Day Hi Low Precip.
