‘Ride a Horse to Class’ program to begin
College offering new transportation options
By: Larissa Watkins
For many SCC students, the current sour economy has
made getting to and from college a lot more difficult. Money
to buy a car is getting harder to come by and gasoline prices
are again on the rise.
A new KCTCS program should provide some needed
assistance.
“We are fixing to set up a place where students can save
gas, money and help cut down on global warming by letting
them ride their ‘charger’ to school,” said KCTCS administrator Martha Horsley.
The “Ride a Horse to Class” program would provide
stables at all KCTCS campuses and centers. Although
specifics are still being worked out, Horsley says that the
stables will provide shelter, food and water to all horses
ridden to class.
News of the program was especially well received at
SCC, where plans are underway for a rent-a-horse option
for students.
“This idea makes a lot more sense than those crazy
bicycles,” said Anita Goode-Mann, referring to the group
of SCC-owned bicycles that students may rent for campus
usage­—but almost never do.
“Riding a horse takes a lot less effort than pedaling a
bicycle,” she said.
“The bicycles do have one advantage,” she added. “They
smell better.”
For those who would rather own than rent, KCTCS has
organized a horse sale for late April.
As part of the sales effort, the community college system
is providing advice and guidance for any first-time horse
owners. The following step-by-step process will be available on the campus website in the coming days:
Buying a horse that suits you:
Step 1: A. Make sure you have adequate room for your
horse. A closet is not the way to go; it may get stinky fast,
and the horse may not appreciate the lack of space.
Step 1: B and C. Make sure you can AFFORD the
horse. It will require hay, possibly some form of extra feed
such as grains, sweet feed and even treats if you really want
to get on his/her good side. Keep an eye on your water bill.
It might not be much more than usual, but it might make the
difference in breaking the bank. C. Horse tack. There are
different types and styles. You will learn as you go. If you
want to ride immediately, there are plenty of books to help
you find your way.
Step 1: D. Make sure you have the time. Don’t pet it
College administrators hope SCC students will
be all smiles when the “Ride a Horse to Class”
program is implemented.
then forget about it. Don’t be afraid to bond with your horse.
This takes time. Seldom can you ride at night, so make sure
there is daylight when you feel like bonding. If it’s not, well,
whatever happens is your damn fault! Don’t blame the horse
for lack of brain function on your part.
Step 2. Now that we have the space, the mullah and the
era, you are ready to begin your checklist on what to avoid
and what to look for.
Step 2: A. Check for injuries, limping, sore places on
the horse, sickness such as diarrhea (be careful, horses are
like people and it may just be a nervous reaction and not an
illness pertaining to the runs) and don’t forget to look for
hoof injuries or eye problems. You can find more about this
on the newest invention: The world wide web.
Step 2: B. If it kills someone, nothing else is going to
matter. So look for an attitude that matches your own. If
you’re easy-going, choose something steady and upbeat.
If you like competition, a horse may not be your thing or
you may be a perfect team. Just watch the disposition of
the beast.
“If it’s kicking or biting--someone or another horse--or
its frothing at the mouth or sweating too much you, may
want to look elsewhere,” said Patrick Gaskin, a biology
teacher at SCC.
Step 2: C. What size do you want your horse? That’s
right folks, you get to choose your size. They come in all
shapes, colors and sizes. The shapes and colors of horses
should be an owner’s last priority. Again, it won’t look so
pretty if you end up dead. Look for a size to suit you and
your height. If you’re on the short side, choose something
closer to the ground. You don’t want to have to pole-vault
into the saddle. Then again, if you’re tall, your feet could
drag the ground, and the horse may find this offensive.
Step 3 A. If the seller looks shifty, he probably is!
Beware the horse isn’t drugged, beaten into submission or
acting a bit odd. If the horse seems abused, you might want
to contact someone in a higher position to take care of it.
Fighting with the owner will only bring conflict, so have the
‘big guys’ take care of it.
Step 4: A. If you’re a beginner get an experienced horse,
don’t confuse this with buying a horse for the experienced
rider. You want a child friendly horse, because in a sense,
you’re a child to the nature of horses. If you’re experienced,
then I’m not sure why you’re reading this section anyway.
Step 4: B. Now we are ready for the looks, to some it
doesn’t matter if it has bones that are protruding under the
skin with flies surrounding it, it could be their black beauty.
For the more self conscious, vainglorious riders this might
matter to you. If you’re looking for black beauty indeed
please keep this in mind, so is everyone else! Haven’t you
seen Flicka? If not, you should. It’s a good movie.

SCC Theatre to present
‘Avatar’ live on stage
The Binge
By JR Sroufe
Respected Broadway producer
Rupert Winklejohn has partnered
with the SCC Theatre Department
to bring the blockbuster ‘Avatar’
to the small stage in early 2011.
With ‘Avatar’ losing the Best
Picture Oscar® to ‘The Hurt
Locker’ at the recent Academy
Awards, the fee for the rights to
the picture has become considerably more affordable.
“We’ve garnered exclusive
rights to the ‘Avatar’ stage play,
Winklejohn said. “This will be
the biggest thing to hit Somerset
Community College since ground
was broken for the first building.”
Winklejohn took the idea for a
stage production of Avatar to producer-director James Cameron.
“He was reluctant at first,”
Winklejohn said, “but once his exwife Kathryn Bigelow nailed those
Oscars for her movie, he was on
the phone to us before he was even
out of the Kodak Theatre.”
Bringing the glitz and glamour
of a film as groundbreaking as
‘Avatar’ to the Stoner Building’s
Little Theatre will prove to be no
easy task: “We’ve hired one of the
best production designers in the
business,” Winklejohn said. “We
may have to knock out a couple of
walls and possibly raise that ceiling a few yards, but we’re pretty
confident that we can pull this off
without too much problem.”
“We want this to be the ultimate 3D experience,” he added.
The audience won’t even have to
wear those silly 3D glasses for
this, because the actors will be
doing this in 3D, naturally. They’ll
be right there. On the stage!”
“The hard part is going to be
the spacecraft scenes. We’re looking at some other effect besides
real rockets, because of the chances of setting the first three rows
on fire, but we think we have
something that can do the job just
as believably. It just might be a bit
more expensive to pull off because
of all those pesky EPA regulations
on the stuff.”
Winklejohn said “We’re looking at an initial budget of $360
million. But we’re not really too
worried because this is a guaranteed sell-out. I mean, have you
seen that theatre? We can pack
that place out in 15 minutes flat.”
He also noted that, “Ticket
prices may be a little steep, but
hey, it’s no more expensive than
going through a ticket broker to
get front-row Rolling Stones tickets, right?”
All 10-foot tall, blue-skinned
students interested in auditioning
for parts in the production can contact Rupert Winklejohn at rupey@
gaspar-productions.com.
A ‘model’ program for beautiful people
By Donnie Branscum
Have you ever dreamed of
being an actor or model? Now
is your chance! SCC is offering
model/actor classes through the
Platinum Modeling Agency. Derek
Platinum, founder of Platinum
Modeling Agency, is accepting
students as early as this summer.
“Even if you don’t think you
have the right look with the expanding market there is opportunity for
many different people, even ugly
people. As long as the check clears,
students will receive top notch
training and be given great opportunities,” Platinum said.
Derek Platinum has been a
five-time cover boy for the magazine “Man Pretty” and starred in
numerous movies that nobody has
ever heard of or admit to knowing
about.
When asked why SCC and why
now, Platinum said “I’m pretty
sure there’s more to life than
being really, really ridiculously
good looking, and it’s time to give
back.” Also, there was the fact that
no other administrator would allow
Student vehicles soon to be subject to intense scrutiny from
law enforcement officials.
Get your house cars in order
By Critley King
Sometime soon the Kentucky
State Police will be checking the
license and registration on all cars
in SCC parking lots.
Anyone found to be in violation will face a stiff fine.
According to a KSP spokesperson, the specific day of the search
will not be announced so as not to
tip off offenders.
Violators who do not have the
proper license, registration, or
driving I.D. will find their vehicles promptly towed to the local
impoundment garage where they
can be recovered after payment of
a $5,000 fine.
As to why SCC is being targeted by police for this project, officer
Ronnie Hickland said, “Well let’s
just be honest. We wanted to target an area where we would have
access to the most people, and it
was either here or Wal-Mart.”
Faculty member Lana Dumbe
was asked to comment but was
unable to respond as she dashed
to her car.
Lisa Lielae, a library faculty
member, was also asked if she was
concerned about the police being
on campus.
“No, I’m not worried at all,”
she said. “But I’ve got to go. I
have some business to take care of
at the court house.”
Carlos Estúpido a student from
Chicago said, “Well, they won’t
bother me. I make fake I.D.s for
extra cash. I might actually be able
to make money off of this popo
show.”
*The Bridge takes no responsibility for the arrest of Carlos
Estúpido. It was his mistake to
voice his illicit side business in the
middle of the lunch rush at The
Grill while Officer Hickland was

Some of the skills that can be
learned are the ability to do your
little turn on the catwalk, breakdance fighting, and modeling
philosophy. Examples include,
“Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of
beauty” Platinum said.
The modeling agency sounds
like a slam dunk, even if modeling
isn’t in your future, confidence is
useful in any field. “You might
think you’re too cool for school,
but I have a newsflash for you,
Walter Cronkite,…you aren’t”
Platinum said. Anyone interested
in enrolling in the agency should
contact the sponsoring professor
Dr. Ben Dover at 555-modelme.

why some students take the easy way out

Survey shows that most students believe cheating occurs at SCC
By Critley King
You may be shocked to know that a recent poll conducted by “The Bridge” shows that many students believe
academic cheating occurs at SCC.
Everyone in the group polled was asked the same question, “Do you think cheating occurs at SCC?”
When tallied, 94 percent of the group said “yes” cheating
occurs at SCC, while only six percent said “no.”
Cheating is a rising problem facing colleges today, and
with the introduction of online courses, the likelihood that
students are cheating has doubled.
The subject of academic cheating has been tacked by
many news outlets from USA Today to 20/20, and has been
the subject of many polls and studies.
But something that is rarely looked at is why: why do
people cheat?
Some of the students and instructors gave us their opinion on why people cheat.
Here are some of the things they had to say.
Laziness?
Many attributed cheating to laziness and the lack
of effort. “People cheat because they expect life to be
handed to them as a short cut or easy way out when they
are fully capable of achieving the obstacle on their own.
This happen(s) at SCC (and) it leads to students getting
the same education as you are when they are cheating and
you’re studying to try to pass with a decent score or grade,”
said Chad McQueen Assistant Recruiter Specialist for the
Kentucky Army National Guard and a student at SCC.
Student Felicia Morrow seemed to think that some people want to have their cake and eat it too.
“I think people cheat because they are too lazy to study
themselves,” she said. “They want to have their fun but still
get good grades. It happens at SCC, it’s the same at any
school you go to.”

COMMENTS, OPINIONS & LETTERS
Breaking the pop culture addiction
By JR Sroufe
Managing Editor
It’s very difficult for an older person
to address current popular culture without reflecting on one’s own rebellious
youth; especially if that person is going
to talk about changing a major factor
of society toward a more conservative
direction. It seems that by taking issue
with America’s obsession with artistic trends, celebrity, and fashion, the
angst-ridden Young Turk of yore has finally become the angry old man
in the neighborhood screaming “get out of my yard, you lousy kids!”
The very nature of American popular culture makes it very difficult for
an older adult to participate.
How does one go about bringing about a change in thinking on something so influential as popular culture? Unfortunately, there isn’t a single,
solid, physical answer.
One way to begin is to address the problem of popular culture basically “eating itself”. That is to say that pop culture should start making the
news rather than becoming the news itself. This is the cycle that needs to
break first in order to cause a marked shift in the cultural mindset.
Popular culture is determined by an increasingly youthful mass
media. By appealing to that level, marketers know that young people will
be willing to allow pop culture to permeate their entire lives; therefore
any sort of weaning from the pop culture teat will need to begin early.
Film, music, television, and fashion are all commodities made to be
sold, and certain formulas have been found to be successful, but few are
willing to take a chance and deviate from those formulas if the numbers
are consistently in the black. Current purveyors of the products exhibit
an immense bowel-siphoning fear of any sort of failure. When it was old
guys with cigars that had no clue about current pop culture were calling
the shots, innovators were at liberty to experiment with their medium at
will. Now the hipsters with a little talent are the people upstairs making
the decisions. If it doesn’t look, sound, or feel like the previous success,
it gets kicked to the curb.
Even news reporting is centered on what is popular rather than what’s
important. Too often news stories that have direct, immediate impact
on people’s lives are relegated to a side story. The amount of time and
space dedicated to hard news is shrinking, even at a time of desperate
national uncertainty. But I suppose a train wreck is hard to look away
from. Rewarding this type of negative behavior with even more exposure
seems to be what the pop culture press is good at these days.
Another issue with popular culture is the total lack of originality. If
someone needs an example of this, just turn on a radio and listen to the
pop stations filling the airwaves. Musical acts these days seem to have
not just one thing in common, but virtually everything. To me this represents a “dumbing-down” of the public’s sense of art. Where is that sense
of risk-taking anymore?
Another example of the vacuum of creativity within popular culture is
the prevalence of “comic book movies”. Just about all the major blockbuster
films of recent years have been big screen interpretations of super heroes and
characters from graphic novels. I suppose this is another of those instances
of the studios playing it safe. I guess it’s fairly easy to concoct a story or a
screenplay with an immortal character who can return again and again in
concurrent sequels (providing the box office return is sufficient).
As long as the pay off with popular culture is consistently lucrative,
no real changes are going to take place. There are masses of people that
are culturally starved for something...anything substantial and different.

debate over the justice of it, the fact remains: you can be charged with
child pornography if you distribute a naked photo of a child under the
age of 18.
While this may seem to leave adults out of the mess, it does not. Adult
sexters need to remind themselves that the sender of a sext cannot be
certain of who will receive their message.
This reality has hit home for far too many men and women. What they
thought would be a “your eyes only” message actually ended up circulating the hands of several others.
So how might this be affecting the campuses of SCC?
Allegedly, 33 percent of young adults have admitted to sending a
naked photo electronically, while 59 percent have sent sexually explicit
texts, according to a national survey in 2008.
You or someone you know on campus are likely the sender or recipient of a sext.
While it is at your discretion what you do with your personal life,
before you hit that send button, you may want to consider the repercussions that could come.
Is the recipient of your message or photo a person you can trust or just
someone cute you met at a party last night?
If they are a trusted spouse or significant other, never underestimate
the possibility of an ugly breakup.
After all, nobody wants to be a victim of “I want your sext” turning
into “I saw your sext!”

John Sherman Cooper Lecture Series
Breckinridge’s contributions
to women noted by Dr. Hay
By Larissa Watkins
Madeline McDowell Breckinridge accomplished
a great deal during her life. She was a leader of the
woman suffrage movement, a reformer and one of the
most influential women of Kentucky.
The life of this unique woman was the subject
of guest speaker Dr. Melba Porter Hay’s presentation during the fifth annual John Sherman Cooper
Lecture, held March 15 on SCC’s Somerset north
campus and sponsored by the college’s division of
Social Sciences.
Dr. Roger Tate introduced the author and historian and noted her recent book, Madeline McDowell
Breckinridge and the Battle for a New South.
During Dr. Hay’s speech, she described
Breckinridge as a leader responsible for organizing,
promoting and struggling for women to establish
rights. Her efforts eventually led to the movement
that ended with woman’s suffrage in 1920.
Dr. Hay said she began researching Breckinridge
in 1972 as a topic to complete a dissertation. Years
later, after new information was discovered on her
subject, Dr. Hay began her book. The work explores
her subject’s struggles with illness, her marriage and
the political and social issues Breckinridge faced until
her death in 1920.
“She was an attractive woman, a real ‘Bluegrass
belle,’ and she helped those with a disadvantage,” Dr.
Hay said.
Breckinridge adopted a social status through birth
and marriage, and used her position to become an
advocate for women’s rights. She had struggled with
Tuberculosis for most of her life, having her foot
amputated not long after being diagnosed in her midtwenties.
“She overcame illness, and surgery, and transformed from a society girl into someone driven for
the paths less fortunate,” Dr. Hay said.
Breckinridge knew how to use the forces around
her to fight with her as well, Dr. Hay noted. Her
husband was the editor of the Lexington Herald
newspaper and frequently published articles noting
the efforts of his wife.
She was an advocate for the right of women to
vote, to attend college, and to be the equal of men.
Breckinridge’s struggles were rewarded when she
receive the right to vote during the 1920 presidential
election. She died a few days later on Thanksgiving.
Dr. Hays noted that during her 48 years,
Breckenridge became the most important woman in
Kentucky history.
At the conclusion of the speech, Dr. Jo Marshall,
said that, “I hope we all see the world is a better place
because women are in leadership positions.”
There was a time when women were not allowed
to attend college, vote or work alongside men. As an
example of how far women have come, Dr. Marshall
is now the first female president of SCC.

International Dinner serves up a taste of culture
By Larissa Watkins
SCC representatives and area residents sampled a taste
of the world without leaving home at the 10th annual Rotary
Club’s International Dinner.
The event, held March 6 at The Center for Rural
Development in Somerset, helps raise funds for worldwide
relief efforts. This year, 70 percent of the money collected
will go to assist recently disaster-stricken areas such as Haiti
and Chile.
Volunteers representing many ethnicities shared food
from their home countries for the dinner. Those who
attended purchased sponsorship tickets to join in the festivities.
A large tent in the middle of the room served as an
example of some of materials that would be bought with
the sponsorship funds. Other funds will be sent directly to
disaster victims.
Each table at the dinner not only featured international
food, but also promoted the culture and the language of that
specific country.
There were cheers from across the room as each represented country was announced.

SCC art instructor Darlene Libbey was one of those
waiting in line to sample foods on the Kenya table.
“It’s delightful,” Libbey said of the event. “I just wish
we had more restaurants in town. It would be neat to say
‘let’s go to the Bosnia in town, or let’s go to Egypt for dinner.’”
Other tables featured foods from Egypt, the Philippines,
Taiwan, India and Pakistan.
“It’s always been an enjoyable time seeing all the smiley
faces here and we try to please as many people as we can,”
said Scott Smith, an SCC student and an attendant for the
Philippines display table.
There was a wide variety of fashion, as well as food, at
the event. Many of the participants wore clothing that represented their place of origin and family heritage.
“It is an interesting experience getting to see all these
cultures in one place,” said Anton Miller, another SCC student attending the dinner.
Volunteers who prepared the food presented a wide
variety of samples that they felt would best represent their
country.
“Not all of the food (featured at the dinner) is made every
day,” said Smith. “Some (foods) are for parties, events, and
weddings. The everyday food would be whatever the trade
is of the family. For example, my grandfather was a fisherman and farmer.”
Foods presented varied from strange to fun, spicy to
bland, meats to vegetables and, of course, lots of breads.
“I am discouraged that my stomach is not big enough to
try every country’s food,” said SCC student Marina RojasHodges. “We will have to try again next year.”

This time the list of characters includes everyone
from two lobsters, a robber, a dog, a married couple,
and a military man.
This year’s selection of six skits just might hold
a little something for everyone, and there will be two
chances to view it.
“Sketches” will be preformed on
April 16 and 17, with both showings at
8 p.m. Also there will be an invited preview on April 15 also starting at 8 p.m.
“Crime Spree” is a tale of a reluctant robber Joe and an unusual young
woman Jolene.
“My character is a woman going to
take money out of the bank when she
is stopped by a stick up man,” said
Carole Brown. “It’s all quite silly,
totally worth coming to watch”
According to Josh Jones who plays Joe “Sketches”
will be an event not to be missed.
“It’s an extremely funny play and it has been a
privilege to be a part of it!” he said.
Driving Green is a short skit involving a married
couple struggling to be “green.”
“It’s funny, and real, and a very interesting look at
both sides of the ‘green’ debate.” said Theresa Jean
Kibby who is cast as Beth.
“Moonshot” will take you through just about
every urban myth you have every heard of all through
the eyes of some very interesting characters who want
to fool the world.
Jason Baker who plays Phil, teased by saying,
“A conspiracy could never be a conspiracy, unless
the conspirators conspire to conspire the entire conspiracy.”
“I’m A Dog” just might keep the audience guessing.
“I think the audience will love it!” said Alaina Hall
who plays Goldie speaking of the surprise ending.
The story which is about a young man that meets
a girl at bar is really about much more as Zach
McQueary who plays Howie said, “The real meaning
at least for Howie goes from trying to define Goldie
but rather how alike they are, and how they begin to
connect through their past experiences.”
And in the grand finale the Interim
Dean Sharon Whitehead will play one
of two lobsters trapped “In the Tank”.
Through rehearsal process the cast
has managed to get along fabulously
as stage manager Dana Floro said,
“I’m privileged to work with a wonderful group of actors. It has been a
blast!”
Cleberg who had the challenge
of choosing the plays that would be
performed said, “This year is unique
in that we’ve done a nationwide search over the internet to solicit short sketches from playwrights whose
plays are not published. This way, we are presenting
plays which are fresh and original.”
And just what was he looking for in a play?
“I was looking for a variety of sketches that all
seemed to share a common sensibility,” Cleberg said.
“This time around the sketches all share the same
quirky comedy with a noticeable gravity at their
center.”
Speaking of the cast and the show he said, “I’m
really pleased with the level of talent in this year’s
production of Sketches.
“Our experienced players are being matched up
with many new and impressive talents.
“We’ve always had a tradition of presenting an
evening of short plays. Sketches continues that tradition.”

Art Club gives students a voice
in displays at East End Gallery
By: Larissa Watkins
SCC’s Art Club welcomes all students who are
interested in having fun and who wish to experience
new things.
The club began in 2006 as the East End Gallery
(EEG) student council. Art instructor Darlene Libbey
says the purpose of the club is simple—to involve
more students in art.
The gallery is located in Stoner Hall on
SCC’s Somerset Campus.
“When students become more involved,
you have more information of what you talk
about and being involved gives a greater
understanding of how a gallery functions,”
she said. “I wanted a more democratic
approach to the exhibits rather than just me deciding
what went in the who, it’s for the students to be more
active in how the show is ran.”
Libbey said that the number of members involved
in the art club vary between 12 and 15 students each
semester. She noted that anyone who is interested in
art is invited become a member.
For students, reason to join the group varies.
Student, Matthew Shackelford, said he joined the
group “for a cultural experience.”
Another student Jared Floyd said he joined “for
meeting people with sharing interests. It could be for
everyone, but you need to have an interest in what
your doing…art as a whole.”
Tyler Fish humorously added that he became a
member “for an outer-body experience.”
Besides providing a space for art, the club is also
involved with community projects. One
project, “Paint the Town Pink,” had members painting a flat canvas to raise awareness for cancer.
Future plans call for the possibility of
traveling to art museums, a bake sale and
other painting projects.
“You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy
looking at art,” said club treasurer Vonna Daniel.
“(The club) is welcome to anyone who wants to join.
The more the merrier.”
Art instructor Libbey says that members of the
group gain an understanding of presenting their work
that can be valuable to them in the future.
“I think the students would better understand of when
you want to go into the world and show your work, to be
more proactive, and for students to have a voice in what
is exhibited at the East End Gallery,” she said.

Clue #1
This instructor has lived all over
Kentucky—Louisville, Lynch,
Falmouth, and Somerset—but considers Winchester her hometown.
Clue #2
As a child she liked to read and
play make-believe games with the
neighborhood kids like Spies and
War. She lived for playing kick-ball
during recess, and she claims she
was always the first girl picked!
Clue #3
This instructor attended college at Georgetown College in
Georgetown, Kentucky, graduating
Magna Cum Laude with a 3.74
gpa. She then attended UK for
graduate school.
Clue #4
Her current hobbies are scrap booking, photography, her children’s activities, and singing with the
FBC2’s praise team. She also loves decorating and
celebrating the seasons and holidays. And she is
totally addicted to Facebook!
Clue #5
Her television shows of choice are “Survivor”,
“Chuck”, “Medium”, “Community”, “CSI Las
Vegas”, and The Turner Classic Movie Channel is

Clue #6
Her funniest story was when, “I used to drive a
Honda Prelude with a stick shift. This was back in
the day when cars didn’t have cup holders and screw
cap pop bottles were still in the future. I always found
drinking from a pop can and driving at the same time problematic.
So, I would keep a straw in my
car so I wouldn’t spill pop on my
clothing.
On this particular day, I was
wearing a tight pencil shape skirt
and holding my pop can between
my legs wasn’t possible. So, I was
driving down New Circle Road in
Lexington balancing holding my
pop can and shifting gears at the
same time. Well, I forgot that I had
put the straw in my can and when I
brought the can up to my mouth, I
rammed the straw so far up my left
nostril I was certain it had punctured
my brain. It was so painful. I immediately jerked the can back down.
But the STRAW STAYED IN
MY NOSE!!!! So, you can visualize how I was
driving down one of the busiest roads in Lexington,
balancing my pop can while shifting gears and now
I had a straw hanging out of my nose! Drivers were
doing double takes. I was trying to tilt my head so
they couldn’t see. I didn’t have a free hand to pull the
straw out. Plus, I was fearful about a nose bleed when
I did. I had to pull off the road and carefully removed
the straw. Thankfully, no blood and no brain tissue! I
laughed all the way home. And I never put a straw in
a pop can again!” she said.
Her students say she always makes class fun, do
you know who she is?

Painkillers, pot and problems: A personal journey through addiction
“It was my sixteenth birthday, I’ll never forget. I was going
to get a tattoo and my older brother gave me two Lorcet (pain
pills) to take, and some pot to smoke. That was the first time I
ever used any kind of drug, and the day that opened the door to
my addiction.”
Starr Sizemore Kidd, a thirty-year-old mother of three is now
44 days sober.
Her son, Logan, 3 and daughter, Chloe 1, climbed in and out
of her lap while she recounted the events that led up to her addiction and consequences that lifestyle has brought her.
“I was 5 when my parents divorced,” Starr said, “I lived with
my mom until I was 14. She was an alcoholic and having two
teenage daughters proved to be more than she could handle. Her
nerves were bad and she sent us to live with my dad.”
Starr said her dad also had a history of alcohol and marijuana
abuse. His lifestyle wasn’t the ideal environment in which to
raise his two teenage daughters. Starr’s step mother, was also a
drug user, Starr said.
“We had parties (at home), and daddy just joined in,” she
said, “He tried to be my best friend instead of my dad. I had no
curfew. By the time I was 18, I was a full blown drug addict.”
They lived in a small town in Clay County. Her grandparents
were influential people in the community. One grandfather was
the school superintendant; her other grandfather was a school
principal.
“My grandparents handed everything to me, I guess to make
up for the pitfalls of my parents,” Starr said, “They bought me
a car, gave me money anytime I asked, even though I had a job.
Every time I would get in trouble they would ‘talk to people’,
and get me out of it. They both had a lot of ‘pull’ in the community. Looking back, I wish they hadn’t made it so easy for me
to get out of trouble. If I had to face the consequences for my
actions back then, things may have been different.”
She looked down at her hands and fidgeted as she recounted
her years of addiction. She fought back tears as she described
some of the most painful events.
“There are so many things that I have done that I’m not
proud of,” she said, “I’ve stolen things from my family members; I constantly manipulated my grandparents into giving
me money. I always had some hard luck story to give them,
and they believed me.” For that reason she was forbidden by
restraining order to see her grandparents for the last 5 years of
their life.
“My dad is gone too. He was murdered about three years ago.
The men convicted of killing him were drug dealers, they beat
him to death.”
Her criminal record speaks for itself, and is far too long for
a woman of her age. Her record will continue to close doors for
her, even as she has begun the road to recovery. Convicted felons cannot apply for most types of low-income housing assistance, and some government assistance programs, not to mention
“My life is finally

being near impossible to find employment.
“No one wants to hire a felon,” she said bluntly, “Especially
when you have an extensive criminal record like mine. I have
been if five different rehabs in the last five years.”
The charges on her record include possession, theft, multiple
DUI’s, “and the list goes on.” She also currently has a suspended
driver’s license.
“I have been in and out of jail since I was 19,” Starr says,
“Staying as long as six months once, that was the worst time of
my life.”
The father of her oldest son is in prison for drug and assault
charges. He has been in prison for most of her son’s life.
She met her current husband in a rehabilitation program; they
have been married for five years and have two more children.
They struggled early in their relationship both trying to overcome addiction to pain pills. Oxycontin was their drug of choice,
but they have “tried it all” at least once,” Starr said.
“I used mostly pain pills, Oxy, Zanex, and pot,” she said,
“I’ve tried Meth a few times, but it just wasn’t my thing. Pain
pills made me feel energized. It was so physically addictive,
after a while I felt like I had to have them to function. I felt sick
and achy without them, like I had the flu of something.”
“I have literally lost years of my life. There are certain parts
of my life that I have no memory of because I was so high. Not
just days, but months at a time.”
Starr regrets what she has put her children through the most.
Just a couple years ago, after doing well for a long stint she
relapsed, and overdosed on Klonopin, a nerve pill. She was
hospitalized for several days coming home with a severe case of
pneumonia caused by her being immobile for so long.
Shortly after recuperating from the overdose she was arrested
for trying to steal hundreds of dollars in merchandise from the
local Wal-Mart. She had her youngest child, an infant, with her
when she was arrested. This prompted social services to get
involved and all her children were removed from the home and
placed with her current husband’s parents.
Though this sounds horrific, it may have been a blessing
in disguise. The judge sentenced her to three years in prison
with the option to attend “Drug Court” instead of the sentence.
“Drug Court” is a program that offers addicts a second chance
at sobriety.
In this program she has to serve forty hours a week community service, attend four Narcotics Anonymous meetings every
two weeks. She has individual and group therapy every week
and a minimum of three drug tests a week. If she is not compliant she will be made to serve her full sentence.
At times it is difficult for Starr with no driver’s license and
three small children to adhere to such a rigid program. It has put
a strain on her family having to spend so much time away from
home, and her husband having to act as mommy. But this program has lead her to become 44 days completely drug free.
“It’s a good program; I only wish I had something like this
when I was 18. It has made me become accountable for my
actions. I feel better (physically) now than I have in a very long
time.”
“My life is finally looking up,” she said, “I start classes at
SCC in August, something I probably would have never done
before. I want to go into counseling, so I can help people like
me. I would like to work with teens so I might make a difference
early before they waste half their lives.
Starr is planning on earning her associates degree through
SCC, then transferring to Lyndsey Wilson to earn a bachelor’s
for human services.
“I know from experience that it helps to talk to someone who
has been there. Someone who knows what it’s like to wake up
in the middle of the yard and don’t know how they got there. I
think I can make a difference.”

At Laurel Campus and McCreary Center
New SCC buildings are now open for business
By Donnie Branscum
The Laurel Campus and McCreary Center
have opened new buildings this semester.
“The building in McCreary was open on
the first day of class, January 11,” said Larry
Abbott, the Chief Operations Officer at SCC.
The building will add classrooms, a computer
lab, offices, and a conference room. The Laurel
Campus Allied Health and Technical Building
opened on February 12.
SCC announced on Friday, October 31,
2008, that a bid has been accepted from Hacker
Brothers Construction Company for the new
20,000 square foot building.
“The building contains a law enforcement
laboratory, a computer laboratory and a new
hospitality and culinary arts laboratory. The
building will also contain three studios for art
classes,” said Dave Cazalet, Director of Public
Relations at SCC.
The Art Department at SCC is now offering
new art classes at the McCreary Center.
“For six years SCC has had drawing and
painting classes, but the classes have outgrown
their space,” said Darlene Libbey, Assistant
Professor of Humanities and Fine Arts.
“One of the new classes offered will be
pottery. The drawing and painting studio has
a gorgeous north light and is specifically
designed for art with individual spaces for an
artist to store their supplies and racks for storing paintings,” said Libbey
The new building is on the north side of
the SCC McCreary Center at 250 College St.
in Whitley City on the west side of U.S Hwy.
27.
The Laurel Campus Allied Health and
Technical Building is located on U.S. 192
By-Pass adjacent to the Laurel County Public
Library. “It is a two story structure with
53,756 square foot with a project budget of
$14,015,000.00 constructed by D.W. Wilburn
Inc.,” Cazalet said.
The building opened on February 12 and
allows SCC to relocate and expand existing
programs.
“The programs include practical nursing,
respiratory therapy, medical assisting and a
new opportunity for new health programs in
registered nursing and pharmacy technology,”
Abbott said.
Cazalet noted that the facility would also
provide a new “one stop” student services
component that will allow students to access
Admissions, Financial Aid and Counseling
Services in one area.
“The project has also included more parking and campus storage,” he said.
New buildings at SCC’s Laurel Campus, above, and McCreary Center,

CHEATING from page 3
She also said she felt cheating would lead
to bad habits for that person in the future.
Even though cheating leads to failure,
some students will continue to be lazy and
rely on others to do their work.
And as Sandra Barnett a student said,
“You will not know how to do (your job)
yourself.”
“I don’t believe that cheating happens a
lot at SCC, but I do think it happens some,”
she said.
Another student, Darren View, pointed
out that cheating can stem from lack of
studying, and can lead to a person wanting
something for nothing.
“I believe that cheating leads to lying
and an attitude of trying to get something
for nothing,” he said. “And ultimately (it)
leads to being lazy and not applying one’s
self.”
“It happens more than one may think,”
Vires added. “But I don’t believe it’s a wide
spread problem.”
Some believe that laziness is part of
being young and that students will grow out
of cheating as they mature.
Student Shelly Simpson said, “I think
it (cheating) happens a lot at SCC, but just
with freshman. (Then) they learn that teachers will not allow cheating in their class.”
Unfortunately some people cheat because
they simply do not want to do the work.

“I feel that cheating happens a lot at
SCC,” Dowell said. “Just because we can’t

Even former students such as Eric
Whitson agreed
“I think people cheat because they think
it’s easier and will serve their goals in the
long term,” he said.
(On whether cheating occurs at SCC)
“Depending on the instructor I would guess
a lot,” Whitson said. “If you have an instructor who has a bunch of tests, and you never
know what you might get, it could keep
cheating from happening. Cheating leads to
people who are not ready to take on a role
(in life) outside of college.”
Not Being Prepared?

Cheating can often root from poor time

“Students get in a panic and just want to
get it (the assignment) over and done,” said
Kimberly Toby, Instructional Specialist at
SCC. “But what they don’t realize is that
it’s not just about completing, it’s about
learning.”
One might assume that if a student had
paid for a class then that student would
actually want to learn, but some feel online
classes aid students in cheating.
“I do worry sometimes with online
classes like the one I teach that the one who
signed up for the class is not the one who is
actually taking the class,” Toby said.
“We have policies in place that hope-
fully deter cheating,” she said. “If you cheat
you get kicked out of the college. It’s ‘sorry,
see ya.’”
Interim Academic Dean Sharon
Whitehead felt that there were many reasons
why students cheat.
“To give them the benefit of the doubt,
some of them have work, and/ or kids.” she
said. “So they don’t have the time, or they
don’t see the importance of studying, people
are just too committed.”
Pressure?
Whether it comes from peers, parents,
the school or the students themselves, many
students feel the pressure to succeed. Often
success can mean perfect grades, and some
students thought this pressure coupled with
low self confidence might lead to cheating.
Tawana Eastridge said, “We all have tendencies to sell ourselves short on occasions,
I think students often cheat because they
don’t have enough confidence in their own
knowledge and fear of failure.”
Eastridge was certain that cheating was
occurring at SCC, but said, “I don’t know if
I would say a lot.”
Some people feel pressure from family or friends to do well so they cheat, or
because they think they just can’t do it on
their own.
Regardless of the reason, “When you
cheat it’s a character issue. It’s a lack of
character and a lack of values,” said April
See CHEATING, Page 15
April 1, 2010
CHEATING from page 14
Spears a SCC math instructor.
Some students believe that people cheat
because the system puts so much pressure on
them to achieve grade-oriented success.
“Pass or fail systems don’t put that incremental pressure on a student,” said Timothy
Conway, an SCC student from New York.
“I think cheating is rampant wherever
testing takes place. It certainly occurs at
SCC. It probably takes place as much at
SCC as anywhere,” Conway said.
“Cheating either leads to passing grades
or expulsion... since it is so difficult to prove
cheating I suspect it more often leads to
passing grades. I wonder how often people
cheat in ethics classes?” he said.
Entitlement?
And as student Carole Brown pointed
out, some people just feel entitled. “In this
society kids have been taught equality and
fairness but in actuality, the world is not fair
and everyone will not be treated the same.
This teaches them to not put forth the effort
to try to do good things themselves (but
instead) to find someone who does. It’s more
convenient for them to copy. They therefore
get a grade they don’t deserve.”
Thrill Seekers?
Is it possible that some students cheat just
for the thrill? “You have some (cheaters) that
do it for the thrill of wondering if they are
going to get caught,” said Spears.

Excuses?
“Some people excuse what they do. They
don’t think of it as cheating if they copy a
friend’s paper, or look online and say ‘That’s
a great essay!’ and then just copy it,” said
Whitehead.
“I wonder too, if sometimes in grade
school teachers reward students that copy
answers out of the textbook, rather than
coming up with their own words,” she said.
“It’s a copy and paste trap that students can
fall into.”
“They are being short-sighted about a
grade, but they are losing the education.
Every time you do something wrong you
lose a little bit of yourself,” she said.
The Verdict
According to many SCC students and
faculty, whatever the reason why people
cheat, they are only harming themselves by
leading their lives down the road to failure
rather than success
“Cheating leads to a lack of confidence,”
student Stephanie Harris said. “If you must
rely on another person to pass certain assignments or tests you are not gaining personal
insight or challenging yourself. Then when
asked to do certain things you may feel like
you can’t do it on your own because you’ve
never pushed yourself to do so.”
“Unfortunately, yes, cheating happens
at SCC,” said Kim Cleberg, Star Center
Coordinator. “Many students are blatant
cheaters. (But) they will pay in the end.”

Students can exercise and save at fitness center
By Stephanie Collins
The average yearly cost of a local gym
membership in Somerset falls between four
and five hundred dollars.
The cost of one credit hour at Somerset
Community College is $125.
Therefore, SCC students can enjoy a
yearly workout (fall, spring, and summer
semesters) at a fully equipped facility, right
here on campus for $375.
With financial aid, they can enjoy it for
free.
Aerobics member Steffani Dyson considers this to be the best part of the program,
saying, “I don’t have to pay for it!”
The Fitness and Wellness Center is located
on the lower level of the Hal Rogers Student
Commons building.
Students can gain access to the gym by taking part in one or more of the six KHP classes
provided. Such classes are Fitness, Strength
and Flexibility, Conditioning, Resistance
Training, Nautilus, and Crosstraining.
Each class offered is a one credit hour
course and can be covered by those students
receiving financial aid.
What students might not know is that
these classes are provided on a “come and
go” basis, according to the Coordinator, Jeff
Brickley.
“We don’t really have class meetings,
students can come as they please,” said
Brickley.
Essentially, showing up to work out is
the only participation these classes require.
There are no books to juggle, tests to study
for, or time restrictions.
“We will write out a plan for you,” said
Brickley.
According to Brickley, this plan serves
as the student’s curriculum throughout the
semester. Their progress is made by following this plan and their participation in the
course is monitored by stamping their personal card after each visit.
Carl Weller, a member of the Fitness
class, says, “He showed me how to use the
equipment and I just went at it.”
The Fitness and Wellness Center is open
Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm.
Amenities include locker rooms equipped
with showers, along with an activity center.
The activity center has a ping pong table,
pool table, and television where students can
relax, socialize, or enjoy their lunch. The
activity center is open for all students of
SCC, not just for those enrolled in a fitness
class.
For more information, students can contact Jeff Brickley at 606-451-6746 or 606451-6940. He can also be reached by email
at jeff.brickley@kctcs.edu.

CD REVIEW
Faubush Hill
‘Under a Jealous Moon’
One of the clichés about
modern life is that we all go
around in our own little technological bubbles and that the
music of the living room and
the back porch is as much an
anachronism as party-line telephones. In Somerset, thankfully,
this conventional wisdom could
not be more wrong.
Nowhere is that more apparent
than at the End Zone Pizza Pub in
Burnside on Friday and Saturday
nights where some
talented and original musicians are
singing and playing their hearts out
for an appreciative
local crowd.
One of the
bands, Faubush
Hill, has just released a CD of
original songs that rival some of
the best songs of such luminaries as Emmy Lou Harris, Darrell
Scott, Johnny Cash, and Lyle
Lovett.
Recorded primarily as a
project by husband and wife
duo Kevin and Robin Dalton,
Under a Jealous Moon features
songs influenced by every genre
from kick-up-your-heels Texas
swing in “Fiddle in the Middle”
to the Beatles-era ballad “Funny
Shoes” to the kind of ironic
songs about love, devotion,
and the inevitable losses that
make up the best country and
Americana music, the kind that
Lyle Lovett might sing with his
large band or on the road with
John Hiatt.
The band that produced this
gem of a CD, however, is not
large. Thanks to what Kevin
Dalton calls “Les Paul and the
invention of multi-track recorders,” on many of the early tracks
recorded for the CD, Kevin and
Robin are the sole performers,
with Robin’s sultry, soulful contralto voice leading most of the
songs and providing harmony
for Kevin’s tenor on the rest.
A multi-instrumentalist with
an impressive range of skills,
Kevin shows his chops on guitar, both lead and rhythm, and
also drums, keyboard, mandolin, and bass. The two exceptions are “Fiddle in the Middle,”
with Kevin’s phenomenally talented Uncle Tom Minton pro-
viding the fiddle, and “Church
on Sunday” featuring Kevin
and Robin’s son T.J. Smith on
lead guitar, Kris Kirkpatrick on
drums, and Mark Sloan on harmony vocals.
As Under a Jealous Moon
became more of a reality, Kevin
realized that live performances
of their music meant that the
band had to grow. They added
Joe Dobbs on bass and Kris
Kirkpatrick on drums, both gifted
musicians who add
depth and texture
to what the duet
is able to accomplish musically on
their own. The live
band, playing as it
does to a late-night
audiences, often
focuses on the work of other
musicians and writers.
The CD, however, is Kevin
Dalton’s baby, made up of fourteen lovely tracks that are beautiful not only because of the
musical range and richness, but
also because of Kevin’s lyrics
that show the writing ability of
a mature poet who has been able
to take his life experiences (and
those of Robin, his wife) to fuel
songs that are both universal
in appeal and at the same time
intensely personal.
“Pretty Bird,” for example,
tells the story of a woman who
goes in search of her father, a
man she never knew. Mixed
with the feelings of loss and the
hope of reconciliation is resignation: “You don’t have to take
There is not
a false note
here or a
bad song...
me in/I’m not no little kid/And
you don’t have to love me/Just
tell me why you never did.”
“Red Mandolin,” one of the
most whimsical tracks on the CD,
is a gypsy romance. Yet even
while it has its fun telling the
story of a woman Picasso painted
in greens, who sings and plays her
red mandolin “beneath a jealous
moon,” it understands the depth
of a love whose tears “fill up the
wishing well” and is intense and
lasting: “I would lay/I would lay/I
would lay my life down for you,
dear/shelter all your innocence/
Swallow all your tears.”
There is not a false note
here or a bad song, and this is
truly a project the duet can be
proud of. Here’s hoping that we
hear much more from Faubush
Hill, and that this marvelous
CD gives them an opportunity to show some other music
fans around the country and the
region the kind of homegrown
talent we have right here.
Information about the band,
copies of the lyrics, schedule
of appearances, and ordering
information the new release
Under a Jealous Moon are all
available at www.faubushhill.
com. The CD is $10 if you catch
them live and buy it or $13 if
they ship it to you.

A look at the Interlibrary Loan program
Arnow Conference set for Friday, April 9
SCC will host the 8th Annual Arnow Conference
on Appalachian Literature and Culture on Friday,
April 9, in the Harold Rogers Student Commons
located on the SCC Somerset Campus North. This
year’s special guests include: Poet Jeff Worley,
Short-story Writer Jim Tomlinson, Playwright Liz
Fentress, Writer Kate Larkin, Historian Ron Eller,
and Kentucky Poet Laureate Gurney Norman. The
theme of this year’s conference is “What does the
future hold?”
Registration for the conference is $40, which
can be paid at any time up to the day of the event.
Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. At 9:45 a.m.,
there will be a creative writing workshop. A series of
workshops by the visiting writers will be held beginning at 11:15 a.m. There will also be a book signing
by all of the guest authors at 11:15 a.m.
The Keynote speaker at the luncheon will be Ron
Eller. His subject will be “Does the Future Still Hold
Uneven Ground?” Eller’s most recent book is entitled, Uneven Ground: Appalachia Since 1945, The
book will provide a basis for his comments about the
region’s future.
Creative writing will resume at 1:30 p.m. and
workshops on short fiction and playwriting will begin
at 3 p.m.
At 3:15 p.m. the Arnow Cultural Legacy
Commission will update the conference on their
efforts to save the Arnow-Casada one-room school.
That will be followed by a memoir by Tom Arnow, the
son of Kentucky author Harriette Simpson Arnow.
The annual SCC conference is named for Harriette
Simpson Arnow. Arnow was born Harriet Louisa
Simpson in Kentucky. She was an avid reader, and
began writing poems and short stories when she was
a young girl.
Even with her love of English and reading, she
decided to major in science in college, though she
continued to write, and was a member of a literary
society. She taught for a short while after graduating
from college, but decided to concentrate on her writing, and moved to Ohio.
Her first novel, Mountain Path, was published
in 1936, and was highly successful. Her next novel,
Hunter’s Horn, came 15 years later. It was a 1949 best
seller, and a Fiction Book Club selection. In 1954, she
published her most impressive work, The Dollmaker.
It remained on the best-seller list for 31 weeks and also
placed second in the National Book Awards and won
the Friends of American Writers award the next year.
Other awards Arnow won include the Weathorford
award which is “given for writings that further an
understanding of Appalachia” and also the Mark Twain
Award for Distinguished Midwestern Literature from
Michigan State University. She was married to Harold
B. Arnow in 1939, and they had two children.

the Music City Bowl in Nashville,
Tennessee to support the UK football team.
Travis also tours with the UK
Men’s Chorus. Their most recent
performance was in Miami, Ohio
over spring break.

the team and Coach Cal—The best
$5 I spent in a long time. Because
you know how I am, cheap.”
Travis is scheduled to graduate
from UK in December 2010.
This month, a reader asks:
Dear Mme. X: We were given a reading list with titles our professor suggested for the book review we have to do for his class. My
public library doesn’t have any of them, and when I came to the
college library, I found out that the library doesn’t have all of the
things on the list, and the ones that they do have are checked out.
What now?
~A Procrastinator
Dear Procrastinator: Everybody puts things off from time to time,
so quit beating yourself up about this. While the SCC Library makes
every attempt to buy the items on the various
course reading lists, professors often change Have a library or researchrelated question?
those and don’t tell us. If you wait too long,
E-mail Madame X at
as you’ve said, the titles that we do have are

checked out by “early bird” students. Unless
the things on your reading list are reasonably
Your SCC Library- online
popular fiction titles or recent, best-selling
24/7@
non-fiction, don’t be upset if your public
somerset.kctcs.edu/library
library doesn’t have them. Public libraries
have to buy for everyone, stretching their dollars between Curious
George, Twilight, and the latest Danielle Steele title - college libraries
buy things that are related to the college’s curriculum.
If the preferred item is not owned by the SCC Library, or our copy is
lost or missing from the collection, we can request that it be sent from
another library. This is called Interlibrary Loan and it typically takes
about a week to a week and a half for the item to arrive from the lending
library. There is also the option of swallowing your pride, admitting to
the instructor that you put off the assignment, and asking if you can borrow his or her personal copy of the title- although I strongly recommend
that you be scrupulous about returning it in pristine condition, since the
professor controls your final grade. I suggest exhausting all of your other
options before pursuing that one, though.

Intramural hoops
Pick-up play a fun way to ‘get your game on’
Photo by Donnie Branscum
Intramural basketball games are played at Somerset’s
National Guard Armory every Tuesday afternoon.
By Donnie Branscum
SCC may not be known for
Final Four appearances and AllAmerican basketball players, but
that doesn’t mean the sport isn’t
played here.
Intramural basketball is being
played each Tuesday at the
National Guard Armory in downtown Somerset. Games are held
between 4 and 6 p.m.
Sean Ayers, Admissions
Advisor/Student Affairs and Trent
Poole, staff member at SCC, have
been running the league for over
eight years.
“It is more of a pick-up game
than a league,” said Poole. “This
year has been the best turnout
we’ve had.”
“Students, faculty, and staff are
all welcome to play,” Ayers said.
Teams are made up of all three
groups and the type of game varies
depending on how many players
show up.
For example, on Tuesday
March 9 there were eight players,
and they played a four-on-four
half court game. On March 23,
there were enought players for full
court play.
“I would like to see more people show up and play basketball,”
says Ayers.
First year player Travis Hull said
“I have played every week.”
So whether you want to try to
recapture those glory days or just
have fun, there is a place for you
in the SCC intramural basketball
league.
