Sheriff’s Department diving
team conducts recovery exercise
By CHARLOTTE SANDERS
SENIOR WRITER
Like the words in a once
popular song, "everything is
coming up rosy" in connection with the opening of
Mingo County schools for
the 2010-2011 term.
School
County
Superintendent
Randy
Keathley and others of his
staff have been visiting the
county's schools the past two
days and "found the students
happy and the teachers all
smiles. There was a positive
learning atmosphere everywhere we went."
Preliminary figures available for 14 schools show a
total student enrollment of
3,766.
Keathley, who has been
with the county school system for 30 years, took over
the superintendency several
weeks ago by appointment
from Dr. Steven Paine, state
superintendent of schools.
His former position as assistant superintendent is now
filled by Robert Bobbera,
who moved up from curriculum director.
Kindergarten
students
were to report today for the
beginning school term, and
Pre-K students will not start
school until Monday, Aug.
30. In the meantime, said
Keathley, teachers have
been visiting the homes of
these students to get
acquainted and prepared for
the term ahead.
Schools have been the
scenes of open house this
week and Keathley said it
was most gratifying to see
the turnout of parents, business people and other citizens in the various communities in a show of solidarity
between schools and the
general public.
A shortage of mathematics
and science teachers exists
but Keathley anticipates this
and any other concerns to be
taken care of as schools get
underway in earnest.
Students will have their
first holiday in the new
school term
on Sept. 6 when Labor
Day is observed across the
nation.
Williamson's municipal
swimming pool has closed
after a moderately successful season and students can
now turn their attention to
the serious matter of education in the 21st Century.
Student enrollment figures, based on the first two
days of the new school term,
were reported as follows:
Burch High, 308; Gilbert
High, 350; Matewan High,
182; Tug Valley High, 369,
and Williamson High,153.
Total for high schools,
1,362.
Lenore K-8 school, 460,
and Kermit K-8, 266, for a
total of 726 pupils.
Matewan Middle, 207,
and Williamson Middle,
178, for a total of 385 pupils.

Diver Chuck May hands Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford and Sheriff Charles “Fuzzy” Keesee a toy gun
recovered by May and Danny Smith from the bottom of the lake at Grants Branch Park. The county’s boat will also be used
in search and recovery efforts by the diving team.
which was tossed in earlier by a Pike
County Sheriff’s Deputy.
“We have the two certified divers
and are close to having a third,”
Keesee said. “The two divers who
are already certified will be taking
swift water training so they can add
that to their search and recovery
efforts.”
Pike County Judge-Executive
Wayne T. Rutherford says the diving
team shows yet another situation in
which several facets of county government work together.
“This just shows how the fiscal
court, the sheriff’s department and
our emergency management office
work together,” Rutherford said.
“The mission is to serve and protect
and the diving team is a prime example of just that.”
The divers carry forensic bags to
put in recovered evidence in so it is
not damaged or compromised as a
result of the recovery effort.
SPECIAL TO THE DAILY NEWS
McVEIGH, Ky. – Few people
know what lies beneath the surface of
the lake at Grants Branch Park, but
Chuck May and Danny Smith can
now be added to that short list.
May and Smith are certified divers
and members of the Pike County
Sheriff’s Department Diving Team,
established by Sheriff Charles
“Fuzzy” Keesee. The team’s main
responsibility will be evidence recovery according to May, who has been a
certified diver for over 30 years.
“Our main focus will be evidence
recovery,” May said. “We will work
in conjunction with rescue squads,
fire departments and anyone who
needs our services to conduct an
investigation.”
The search and recovery efforts of
the diving team were evident when in
a matter of minutes, they recovered a
toy gun from the bottom of the lake,
Pike County Safety Director Nee
Jackson said the dive team will be
able to help in several different scenarios such as a missing person
search when that person is believed
to be in the water. Jackson also said
the county has underwater cameras
that aid in search and rescue as well.
“These divers will be a huge asset
when it comes to getting in the water
faster,” Jackson said. “We will have
people trained in swift water rescue
and have swift water boats – there
can be nothing more valuable in the
event of a flash flood, which, as we
all know, can happen easily in Pike
County.”
Emergency Management Director
Doug Tackett said the purchase of the
boat to be used in swift water is
equally as important.
“We are going to purchase a
Zodiac boat,” Tackett said. “It is the
boat of choice when dealing with
swift water rescue.”
CHARLESTON (AP) —
Methane gas may be bubbling into a flooded area of
the Upper Big Branch mine
where 29 men died in an
explosion last April, a federal
Mine Safety and Health
Administration official said
Wednesday.
Investigators have mapped
about 90 percent of the
Massey Energy mine, but up
to six feet of water have kept
them from searching two
underground areas, said
Kevin Stricklin, MSHA's
administrator of coal mine
safety and health. Both are
lower than surrounding areas
of the mine, which has about
12 miles of underground
workings, and haven't been
pumped out since the April 5
blast.
Investigators hope to begin
draining the larger of the two
areas area this week, a section known as Headgate 22.
It has essentially been
untouched since rescuers
recovered nine bodies there
in April.
"When you get up close to
the face up there, you've got
water bubbling," Stricklin
said. The bubbles are probably methane, but Stricklin
discounted their significance.
That said, Stricklin stressed
the importance of entering
the area to seek clues.
"We want to look at everything as a potential cause," he
said. "We think it's important
to visit Headgate 22."
MSHA also has not examined another flooded section
about 1,000 feet away. That
area also will be drained and
examined, Stricklin added.
Officially the cause of the
explosion hasn't been determined, but MSHA blamed
methane and coal dust in a
preliminary
report
to
President Barack Obama in
April.

WILLIAMSON — Oprah Winfrey is completing the
final season of her iconic talk show by revisiting some of
her most memorable programs, one of which was in
Williamson about the community's reaction to a native son
who had contracted the AIDS virus.
Winfrey was in Williamson Wednesday, where she
revisited the issue, comparing attitudes in 1987 toward the
disease with how people feel in 2010. In 1987, Oprah produced a show on AIDS victim Mike Sisco.
Sisco had moved to Texas, but came back to the area in
order to be near family when he became ill. The public
was just beginning to become aware of AIDS, and many
feared contracting the virus. Williamson city pool was
closed after Sisco swam in it.
Some of his family shunned him, and rumors were rampant that he had attempted to spread the disease around the
community.

Editorial
An Upward Look
The Daily Blessing
He that keepeth understanding
shall find good
“He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that
keepeth understanding shall find good.” (Proverbs 19:8)
With the sole exception of Jesus Christ, Solomon is the
wisest man in human history. When God appeared to
Solomon in a dream and asked what He could give him,
he wisely realized that he was not prepared
to lead the people of God. He asked the
MAE
Lord to give him an understanding heart to
STALLARD
judge the people, that he might discern
between good and bad: for who was able to
judge this so great a people. (I Kings 3:9)
Under his leadership he brought Israel to
the peak of its size and glory. It has been
said that “more than any man before or
since, he knew how to amass and creatively use great wealth.” One of his greatest
achievements was the building of the temple. The ark of the covenant is placed in this exquisite
building, which is filled with the glory of God.
It is sad that when he was old this wisest of men acts as
a fool, and ungodly marriages eventually turn his heart
from God. It is interesting that in the Book of Proverbs,
Solomon spoke of the importance of making wise decisions. Wisdom invites us to leave our simple ways and we
will live; walk in the way of understanding. He goes on to
say that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Through wisdom your days will be many, and years will
be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will
reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
(9:10-12)
In our world today, we hear about the importance of taking care of our health, of living longer if we exercise; eat
food that is good for u; do not smoke; drink alcohol; or
take certain drugs. This scripture reveals that if we make
wise choices about what we choose to do, it will make a
difference. May we make good choices in all areas of our
lives.
He that gets wisdom loves his own soul,
And he that cherishes understanding shall find good,
We would do well tot take this seriously,
As we know we should.
So help us heavenly Father,
To make wise choices in our lives,
That we might be pleasing in your sight,
For that is most important we realize.
Dear Father,
Please forgive me, for making unwise decisions that dishonor you. For Christ’s sake. Amen.

Politics blamed for W.Va. high-risk pool
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — Uninsured West
Virginians with pre-existing
conditions face higher costs
after the Legislature failed
to let the state run a coverage program for them, some
health care advocates warn.
Those enrolling in the
new high-risk pool must pay
for $2,500 worth of medical
expenses each year before
the pool coverage kicks in,
because the federal government must now operate the
program. They would have
paid a $1,000 yearly
deductible if the state ran it.
The program is for the
estimated 1,000 West
Virginias with pre-existing
medical conditions who
have been unable to obtain
insurance for at least six
months. Perry Bryant, executive director of West
Virginians for Affordable
Health Care, said the difference in deductibles stymies
their access to this coverage.
"It's not a huge number,
but these are very sick people who have been priced
out of the insurance market
altogether, or have been
denied coverage by insurance carriers," Bryant said.
"People covered under the
(state-run) program would
have had access to insurance
much more quickly each
year."
While agreeing that the
federally run program has a
higher deductible, state officials said it will also offer
some enrollees lower
monthly premiums than the
state-run plan could. That
could at least partly offset
those higher upfront costs,
officials said.
"Theoretically, it would
be a perfect trade-off," said
Nancy Malecek, a Manchin
administration health official.
State officials also noted
the pool is temporary: the
program will expire in 2014,
when the federal health care
law passed this year will no
longer allow private insurers to deny coverage
because of pre-existing conditions. But like Bryant,
state officials question the
objections that scuttled the
legislation meant to allow
state oversight of the program.
Bryant blames politics.
Republicans in the House of
Delegates have been vocal
foes of the federal legislation that created and funds
the pool. It allowed each
state to choose whether to
run its own version or leave
it under federal control.
West Virginia was among
29 states and the District of
Columbia that sought to
operate it themselves.
Measures proposed during
the summer's two special
sessions aimed to allow that.
GOP lawmakers argued that
if that happened, the state
would be forced to cough up
scarce state dollars if the
pool's $27 million in federal
funding ran out before 2014.
"By not having that in the
state of West Virginia, we
have no moral obligation to
fund it when the feds stop,"
said Delegate Craig Blair,
R-Berkeley.
Bryant said the federal
legislation provides safeguards meant to ensure that
doesn't happen, and that he
sought to explain that to
lawmakers during the sessions. The state could halt
enrollment, raise premiums
or take other steps, he said.
"The feds were going to
require the states to submit
a lot of information regarding where they were with
their program," Bryant said.
Malecek also cited those
federal safeguards, as well
as the actuary who oversees
AccessWV. Malecek is acting director of that high-risk
program, which the state
launched on its own five
years ago. The federally
funded pool would offer
coverage to those unable to
obtain it even from
AccessWV.
"Because the actuary has
a big role, we'd make
changes to maintain the solvency. That is the bottom
line," Malecek said.
Tim
Murphy,
an
Insurance
Commission
lawyer, agreed.
"We felt very confident
that there were enough controls there to ensure that it
would run until 2014 without leaving the state in the
lurch," Murphy said.
GOP delegates also questioned whether the pool
would fund abortions.
Bryant considers such fears
unfounded.
He
said
enrollees — in AccessWV,
the average age is 55 —
seek coverage for diseases
like congestive heart failure.
"It was silly to have this
debate over abortion in the
first place," Bryant said. "It
puts ideology ahead of a
competently run program."
But he, Malecek and
Murphy also said the
Obama administration has
issued directives barring
elective abortion coverage
in these pools.
"We told them it wasn't
an issue with us," Murphy
said of lawmakers. "It's a
non-issue as far as we're
concerned."
Blair cited concerns
raised by groups like West
Virginians for Life regarding the overall federal legislation when it passed this
year. He also said other
states were funding abortions in their pools.
At least one state — New
Mexico — initially decided
to allow coverage of elective abortion in its pool.
Abortion opponents also
raised questions about
and
Pennsylvania
Maryland, but officials in
those states denied that
their plans would have
covered abortions.
Responding to such concerns, the U.S. Health and
Human
Services
Department announced in
July that the program will
not cover abortions except
in cases of rape, incest or
when the mother's life is in
danger — exceptions traditionally allowed under federal law. That's a more
restrictive policy than will
be generally applied under
Obama's new health care
law.
Murphy said he shared
that July bulletin with lawmakers during that month's
special session. Blair said
he was unswayed.
"It's not in the law. That's
all there is to it," Blair
said.
The July measure idled
after Blair proposed an
amendment to block any
abortion funding.
"What would have been
the harm, to have that safeguard in there?" Blair said.
"The bottom line is, the
reason the bill died is, they
didn't want to bring up the
abortion issue. ... Don't
blame the Republicans.
Blame the leadership."
The office of House
Speaker Rick Thompson,
D-Wayne, did not respond
to a request for comment.

The 2010/11 Gilbert Lions begin their season Friday at home against Buffalo at 7:30 p.m. The Lions will have a new face on the sidelines as
Patrick Cline took the reins of a very good football team after Coach Gordon Carter retired.
Gilbert
begins new
season with
a new face
By PAMELA SCOTT JOHNSON
SPORTS EDITOR
The Gilbert High School football team will begin a new season with a new coach. Patrick
Cline will lead the Lions from
the sidelines Friday night at
home against Buffalo.
After graduating nine seniors
from the 2009 squad, Cline’s slogan for this team is “same tradition, new beginning.”
The Buffalo Bison lost only
five players from a team defeated by Gilbert 40-0 last year. With
veteran Buffalo QB Caleb Dunn
returning for his senior season,
Cline expects the Bison to mix
up their offense by attacking
from the ground and the air.
But with 25 players making up
the Lions’ roster and only four of
those freshmen, Cline has experience on his side as well.
Look for the Lions to have
tough defensive and offensive
lines as both are made up of
returning lettermen. The new
coach believes the OL and DL is
the core of his squad.
“The offensive line is where
games are won and lost,” he
said. “Linemen never get
enough credit for what they do.”
It should come as no surprise
if fans watch Cline mix up the
offense with junior QB Ashton
Cline and senior RB Dwayne
Compton as well as a wealth of
wide receivers with experience
under their belts.
Gilbert finished last season 64 while the Bison ended the
year with a disappointing 3-7
record.
The Lions are one of only two
local teams opening the football
season at home. Williamson
will be at home against Hannan.
Kickoff for Gilbert is set for
7:30 p.m.

NFL moving forward with 18-game season
ATLANTA (AP) -- NFL
owners have shown widespread support for going to
an 18-game schedule but
want to implement the
change as part of a new labor
agreement.
Commissioner
Roger
Goodell says owners see two
more regular-season games and two fewer preseason
games - as the most logical
way to enhance revenues in a
difficult economic environment. He says it will be one
of the main issues in talks on
reaching a new collective
bargaining agreement.
The current deal runs out
after this season. Players are
eager to see how much of the
additional revenue they will
receive with an expanded
schedule, especially since it
could increase the risk of
injuries or health problems
after they retire.
Goodell says the league is
targeting 2012 for the 18game season.
THIS IS A BREAKING
NEWS UPDATE. Check
back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is
below.
ATLANTA (AP) - The
NFL unanimously approved
a proposal for Stan Kroenke
to take over as majority
owner of the St. Louis Rams
on Wednesday, as long as he
turns over control of his
NBA and NHL teams to his
son.
Kroenke, who owns 40
percent of the Rams, has
exercised an option to buy
the remaining 60 percent of
the
team
from
the
Rosenbloom family for a
reported $750 million.
But first he had to deal with
NFL rules against ownership
of major league franchises in
other pro football cities. He
already owns two Denver
teams, the NBA's Nuggets
and
NHL's
Colorado
Avalanche.
NFL owners approved
Kroenke's deal on condition
that he turn over operational
and financial control of the
Nuggets and Avalanche to his
son, Josh, by the end of the
year. He must give up his
majority stake in the teams
by December 2014.
"Obviously, all of us know
and respect Stan," commissioner Roger Goodell said.
"He's been a terrific owner in
the NFL and we're confident
he will continue to be a great
owner."
Kroenke, a 63-year-old
Missouri billionaire, first
became involved with bringing pro football back to St.
Louis in 1993 with a failed
attempt to land an expansion
franchise. When the Rams
moved from Los Angeles
two years later, he joined the
Rosenbloom family as a
minority owner, increasing
his stake to 40 percent in
1997.
"Getting a unanimous vote
on anything in the modern
world, I'm pretty excited
about it," Kroenke said.
"Seventeen years, wow. I'm a
17-year overnight success."
The Rams' brother-sister
ownership team of Chip
Rosenbloom and Lucia
Rodriguez inherited the franchise from the late Georgia
Frontiere. They decided to
sell because of inheritance
tax issues and had a bid from
Urbana, Ill., businessman
Shahid Khan to purchase
their 60 percent share in
February.
Kroenke stepped in, exercising his right to buy the rest
of the team with a matching
bid.
"Mr. Kroenke has agreed to
a level of involvement that's
consistent with the crossownership policy in that he
will not have any involvement" in the two Denver
teams, said Eric Grubman,
the NFL's executive vice
president of business operations. "He will not be making
operational or financial decisions of the clubs."
Khan issued a statement
praising the man who scuttled his bid for the Rams.
"This adventure didn't turn
out the way I had hoped,"
Khan said, "but it was otherwise a worthwhile experience in every respect and I'll
always be a fan of the St.
Louis Rams."
Kroenke, making a rare
appearance before the media,
said he looks forward to running the Rams with the same
behind-the-scenes style he
had in Denver. He has a big
task in front of him, taking
control of a former Super
Bowl champion that has
gone 6-42 over the last three
years - including an NFLworst 1-15 last season.
"I don't think it's a mystery
the way we're running our
other clubs. Connect the
dots," Kroenke said. "I like to
know what's going on; I like
to be involved. But the number one thing is finding the
right people, putting them in
place and trying to help them
out."
Kroenke has built quite a
collection of professional
sports teams. He also owns
the Colorado Rapids of
Major League Soccer and the
Colorado Mammoth of the
National Lacrosse League. In
addition, he is the largest
shareholder in Arsenal of the
English Premier League.
After years of sellouts, the
Rams have fallen on hard
times. The crowds have
thinned considerably at the
15-year-old Edward Jones
Dome, leading to speculation
that St. Louis could lose its
NFL team for the second
time. The Cardinals moved to
Arizona in 1987, and the
NFL has made no secret that
it would like to get a franchise back in Los Angeles,
the nation's second-largest
market.
Kroenke's purchase of the
team would appear to make
the Rams less likely to move.
"I've been around St. Louis
and Missouri a major portion
of my life," he said. "I've
never had any desire to lead
the charge out of St. Louis.
That's not why we're here.
We're here to work very hard
and be successful in St.
Louis."
Then, he added, "Now, the
realistic part of that. I live to
be competitive. To be competitive, you have to have
revenue. We're going to work
really hard to have a model
that produces revenue where
we can be consistently competitive. Anyone can be a
contender in the pro sports
business every so often. The
real challenge is to be competitive every year."
Kroenke's 30-year-old son
is a former Missouri basketball player. He'll serve as
governor of the NHL team
and set the budget, but team
president Pierre Lacroix will
retain control over personnel
decisions.
Given his background,
Josh Kroenke will likely
have a larger role with the
Nuggets, who are restructuring their front office after
declining to extend the contracts of executives Mark
Warkentien
and
Rex
Chapman.
One of the Nuggets'
biggest priorities is deciding
what to do with Carmelo
Anthony, who so far has
declined to accept a threeyear, $65 million contract
extension.
Stan Kroenke declined to
comment on Anthony's status
at the NFL owners meeting,
which was also expected to
include talks on an 18-game
schedule and a new collective bargaining agreement
with the players.
"I'm here to talk about the
Rams," he said. "We'll talk
about Carmelo some other
time. I'm sure Josh will have
a lot of good answers for you
on that."

Reds recover and
beat Giants in 12
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Cincinnati Reds blew a
nine-run lead but then regrouped and rallied past the San
Francisco Giants 12-11 on Wednesday on Joey Votto's
tiebreaking single in the 12th inning.
The NL Central-leading Reds took a 10-1 lead into the
bottom of the fifth before San Francisco came back.
Aubrey Huff's sacrifice fly capped a six-run burst in the
eighth that put the Giants ahead 11-10.
A throwing error by third baseman Pablo Sandoval in
the Reds ninth set up Paul Janish's tying single. Votto had
four hits and four RBIs, including his go-ahead, two-out
single off reliever Barry Zito.
Earlier in the day, Colorado overcame a 10-1 deficit
and beat Atlanta 12-10.

Remaining US troops
still face danger in Iraq
By LARA JAKES
BAGHDAD (AP) — Lt. Ryan Alexander stands
thigh-deep in a dark grove of reeds and palm trees, hunting for rockets. Officially, the U.S. combat role in Iraq is
ending this month, but Alexander and his platoon are
under orders to keep insurgents from using the south
Baghdad field as a hiding place for Katyushas.
"We're going to be doing this as long as they tell us,"
Alexander said in a near-whisper in the steamy predawn air, his machine gun slung over his shoulder.
Behind him, Iraqi Lt. Wassan Fadah Hussein had his
handgun out and ready for action.
In the near distance came a gunshot. "Sounded like a
little boom," Alexander drawled.
The number of U.S. soldiers in Iraq dipped Tuesday to
49,700, dropping below the 50,000 threshold ahead of
the end-of-the-month deadline set by President Barack
Obama. But the war is not yet over for the remaining
troops, who will continue to put themselves in danger on
counterterror raids and other high-risk missions that
aren't called combat but can be just as deadly.
Until the end of 2011, U.S. troops will mostly focus
on training Iraqi soldiers and police to take over the
nation's still-shaky security. They will counsel Iraqi officials on how to endear themselves to their citizens,
whether through handing out soccer balls to kids or
building irrigation systems for farmers.
But they will also still be on security patrols — like
the one that Iraqi police said was hit by a roadside bomb
Tuesday in the southern city of Basra, with no casualties
immediately reported. And they will still be dying — the
4,416th U.S. soldier to die in Iraq was killed in a Basra
rocket attack earlier this week.
In an attempt to end what he once termed "a dumb
war," Obama ordered all but 50,000 troops to leave Iraq
by Aug. 31. Those left behind will no longer be allowed
to go on combat missions without being joined by Iraqi
forces.
Much of that change was already put into effect last
summer. A security agreement between Baghdad and
Washington stopped U.S.-only patrols and raids in Iraqi
cities, where most of the threat exists, after June 30,
2009. That same agreement requires all U.S. troops to be
out of Iraq by the end of 2011.
"As far as boots on the ground, mainly it's Iraqis doing
the work," said Gen. Ali Gadaun, commander of Iraq's
troop operations. "Of course, the Iraqis want to see this
day coming, that their forces are in charge of the country and in charge of their security."
In Massachusetts, where the president was on vacation, White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan
called the drawdown in U.S. troops a "truly remarkable
achievement." He noted that the milestone had been
reached a week ahead of schedule and represented a
drop of 94,000 troops on Obama's watch.

Oprah

During the 1987 program,
several community members
spoke up to express their fear
about AIDS and their disdain
for Sisco.
Wednesday, Oprah's program was taped in the
Fieldhouse, and was not
open to the public. However,
she took a few minutes to
talk after taping the show.
“It was great reunion,”
Oprah said. “It was a wonderful experience.”
Asked if she felt perceptions have changed since the
original program aired,
Oprah said she hadn't spoken
to many people.
“It would be unfair to
judge that based on two or
three people,” she said.
“There was a consensus

Oprah said of the hundreds

Mike Sisco was “one of my

“He was an unsung hero,”

She said she had reviewed

coming to Mingo County

“I hope people get that

W.Va. clinic
owner sentenced
CHARLESTON (AP) — The owner of a southern West
Virginia pain clinic has been sentenced to 30 months in
prison for allowing unauthorized staff members to issue illegal prescriptions and health-care fraud.
U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver Jr. on Tuesday also
ordered 30-year-old Cameron Justice to pay nearly $200,000
in restitution.
Copenhaver says the Crum resident probably should have
never tried to run the Justice Medical Clinic. Justice is a
heavy-equipment operator with a high school education.
Copenhaver says the result of Justice's ownership was the
establishment of a "moneymaking malignancy on the community that ran amok."
Two doctors at the clinic on the Wayne-Mingo county line
were earlier sentenced to one year and one day in prison.

Discouraged child
isn't succeeding in school
Dear Dr. Brothers:
I feel so bad for my little nephew. He is 10 years old, and
a great little guy. He's full of life and enthusiastic about
everything. But lately he has been moping around, and I
see his confidence slipping. He seems discouraged much
of the time. He doesn't seem to have the ability to understand or absorb the material at school, even though he
seems to be as smart as the next kid. There is some testing
going on, but in the meantime, can I help him somehow?
-- P.G.
Dear P.G.:
It is quite sad to see a child suffering -- if only selfesteem were something we could put a bandage on and tell
the child it will be OK soon. I'm sure your
nephew doesn't really know what the probDR. JOYCE
lem is -- and I hope the tests will help clarBROTHERS
ify what's going on with him -- but you can
be sure it is not because he is lazy, doesn't
care or can't succeed. So if you can let him
know that you are proud of his attempts to
succeed despite the difficulties he has been
having, and invite him to talk about his
feelings, that might go a long way toward
helping him overcome his discouraged
state of mind.
It also might be helpful for you to spend some time with
him trying to discover and encourage his own special talents. He is at an age where he can start developing some
interests outside of the classroom, and if he goes in the
right direction, those interests can become passions and
possibly even a career someday. Just because he isn't good
at reading -- or maybe it's math or science -- doesn't mean
he can't take an interest in something that will light a spark
inside. He may be excited by any number of things, from
athletics to music to art to nature. He may have it in him
to be a magician or a lifeguard or a forensic scientist. So
start exploring.
Dear Dr. Brothers:
I am seeing a guy who is a lot of fun and has lots of
friends. We are both in our mid-30s and enjoy messing
around together. But I notice that almost everyone in his
social circle -- which is full of artsy types -- is pretty close
to Social Security age! They are all very energetic, productive, fun, hip and all that, but does it seem odd to you?
I feel strange sometimes when we hang out with this much
older set. Plus, he doesn't even talk to his own parents.
-- D.C.
Dear D.C.:
I wouldn't use the word "odd," but I must say it is a bit
unusual. Most young people don't like to hang out with
anyone who reminds them of their parents' stodgy generation. But this generation of baby boomer senior citizens
didn't really fit that mold -- they never really grew up, the
way their own parents did, and therefore a lot of what they
enjoy and think is important may actually appeal to their
children and their friends. And it sounds like a few older
friends wouldn't bother you, but I can see how it might be
a bit uncomfortable to be the only 30-something in the
crowd, except for your date -- who doesn't notice.
In a perfect world, no one would care about anyone
else's age, race, gender and so forth. But in this case, you
probably wouldn't be uncomfortable if your friend had at
least a good balance of all ages of companions. The fact
that he gravitates toward older folks might stem from
something to do with his lack of relationships with his
own parents. It seems an easy answer, but sometimes the
most obvious is the best bet -- could it be that he is substituting all these older people for the parents he may feel he
never had, or at least doesn't have today?
Allen says New York too
expensive to shoot films
MADRID (AP) — Woody Allen says he began shooting
movies in European cities because he couldn't afford to do it
any more in New York.
However, the American film director told reporters
Tuesday in the northern Spanish city of Oviedo that he finds
Manhattan poses fewer limitations than European cities,
where more tailoring of the story is required to fit the location.
Allen was in Spain to attend the premiere in Spain of his
latest film, the romantic comedy "You Will Meet A Tall Dark
Stranger," in nearby Aviles.
The film was shot in London and stars Naomi Watts, Josh
Brolin and Antonio Banderas. At the news conference in
Oviedo, Allen was joined by Lucy Punch and Gemma Jones,
who also star in the film.
Allen has recently been in Paris shooting his next movie,
"Midnight in Paris," which features French first lady Carla
Bruni-Sarkozy in a minor role.
Allen hit out at American cinema saying the majority of
films over the past decade had been made just for money and
lacked creative spirit. In comparison, he said European films
were much more artistic.
Allen also praised Spanish actors saying they were now
among the best, singling out Banderas in this film as well as
Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, with whom he worked in
his 2008 movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," set in Spain's
second largest city.

Interview: Woods' ex-wife went 'through
WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP)
— Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin
Nordegren said she has "been
through hell" since her husband's infidelity surfaced but
she never hit him, according to
an
interview
released
Wednesday.
Nordegren told People magazine she and Woods tried for
months to reconcile the relationship. In the end, a marriage
"without trust and love" wasn't
good for anyone, she said.
On Thanksgiving night outside their Florida home,
Woods drove his SUV over a
fire hydrant and into a tree, setting off shocking revelations
that sports' biggest star had
been cheating on his wife
through multiple affairs. The
couple officially divorced
Monday.
Nordegren told People that
she never hit Woods on the
night of the car crash.
"There was never any violence inside or outside our
home," she said. "The speculation that I would have used a
golf club to hit him is just truly
ridiculous."
Nordegren said Woods left
the house that night and when
he didn't return after a while,
she got worried and went to
look for him. She said that's
when she found him in the car.
"I did everything I could to
get him out of the locked car,"
she said. "To think anything
else is absolutely wrong."
The magazine said the interview was conducted over four
visits lasting a total of 19 hours
at the rented Windermere, Fla.,
home where she now lives
with their two children.
"I've been through hell,"
said
the
Swedish-born
Nordegren, who began losing
her hair in the days before the
divorce became final. "It's
hard to think you have this life,
and then all of a sudden —
was it a lie? You're struggling
because it wasn't real. But I
survived. It was hard, but it
didn't kill me."
While Nordegren said she
has watched little TV in the
last nine months, she sometimes followed the scandal on
the Internet. Friends also kept
her informed.
Nordegren credits therapy
for helping her deal with her
emotions and kept a journal. "I
haven't gone back to read what
I wrote in December and
January; I'm afraid to," she
said.
In an interview on NBC's
"Today" show on Wednesday
morning, People magazine
reporter Sandra Sobieraj
Westfall said Nordegren and
her team approached the publication.
Westfall said Nordegren
wanted people to know three
things: she's not violent and
never hit Woods; she had no
'Hot in Cleveland' cast
smells horses on Malick
By MICHAEL WEINFELD
WASHINGTON (AP) —
When the cast of "Hot in
Cleveland" smells horses, they
know Wendie Malick has
arrived.
Malick owns two quarter
horses, Mikey Rose and
Cassidy. She mucks their stalls
and feeds them before going to
work. She says her co-stars
often tell her they notice the
smell when she arrives.
Malick helped deliver
Cassidy nine years ago. She
slept in the hayloft of the barn
for several nights until Mikey
Rose's water broke. She says
she ran downstairs and found
a perfect little foal.
She bonded with the foal
and named it Cassidy after
the
fictional
cowboy
Hopalong Cassidy.
Malick co-stars in the TV
Land comedy "Hot in
Cleveland" with Betty White,
Valerie Bertinelli and Jane
Leeves.
idea this was going on; and it
was a real marriage for her.
Claudia DiRomualdo, the
magazine's public relations
director, said no one received
payment for the story.
Nordegren met Woods
when she was working as a
nanny for Swedish golfer
Jesper Parnevik, and said she
fell in love with him because
they had "so much fun, and I
felt safe with him." She called
their Oct. 5, 2004, wedding in
Barbados "one of the happiest
days of my life." The couple
have a 3-year-old daughter,
Sam, and an 18-month-old
son, Charlie.
In the interview, Nordegren
would not disclose the amount
of the divorce settlement but
did say "money can't buy happiness or put my family back
together."
"I'm so embarrassed that I
never suspected — not a one.
For the past 3½ years, when
all this was going on, I was
home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my
school."
When she learned of Woods'
infidelities, Nordegren said
she felt "absolute shock and
disbelief."
"I felt stupid as more things
were revealed — how could I
not have known anything?"
Nordegren said. "The word
betrayal isn't strong enough. I
felt like my whole world had
fallen apart. It seemed that my
world as I thought it was had
never existed. I felt embarrassed for having been so
deceived. I felt betrayed by
many people around me."
Woods, who was playing a
pro-am round at The
Barclays in Paramus, N.J.,
early Wednesday, hasn't
commented on the couple's
divorce.
Shortly before 8 a.m.,
when the People magazine
story broke, his agent, Mark
Steinberg, stepped outside
the ropes of the first fairway
and was on the phone for the
next 10 minutes, as was
Woods' spokesman, Glenn
Greenspan.
Nordegren said she would
eventually forgive Woods,
but that she is still working
on it. Though the two share
custody of the children, he
needs her permission to get
past the guard in the gated
community where she lives.
"Forgiveness takes time,"
she said. "It is the last step of
the grieving process."
Meantime, Nordegren said
she is excited to start the next
chapter of her life and
intends to stay in the U.S.
with her children. She is
studying for her bachelor's
degree in psychology, and
continued her schoolwork
during the divorce proceedings.
She also said she has "not
watched one minute of golf."

2 days of food stretched more than 2 weeks in mine
By BRADLEY BROOKS
COPIAPO, Chile (AP) —
Just 35 inches (90 centimeters) around the waist —
that's how skinny Chile's 33
trapped miners have been told
they need to be to squeeze
through the escape tunnel, the
minister
said
health
Wednesday.
Dr. Jaime Manalich said
rescuers are applying a holistic plan to support the miners'
well-being during the months
it may take to carve out the
tunnel, including exercise and
other activities to keep them
from gaining weight.
"We're working to determine a secure area where the
miners can manage things.
The space they're in actually
has about two kilometers of
galleries to walk around in,"
he said.
"We hope to define a secure
area where they can establish
various places — one for resting and sleeping, one for
diversion, one for food,
another for work," he said,
adding that specialists have
reviewed each miner's condition, based on the information
they sent up to the surface,
and "we can say that they are
all healthy, with just a few
minor problems."
The health minister also
said that as of Wednesday, the
miners are getting more nutritious food in the form of cans
of a milk-like drink that has
been enriched with calories
and protein, and tastes like
chocolate with vanilla. It will
be days yet before they can
have solid food, he said.
The escape tunnel will be
about 26 inches (66 centimeters) wide — the diameter of
a typical bike tire — and
stretch for more than 2,200
feet (688 meters) through
solid rock. Rescuers also have
to account for the space of the
basket that will be used to
pull the miners to safety, leaving little margin for error.
Even before rescuers contacted the men, the selfimposed rations were meager: Two spoonfuls of tuna, a
sip of milk, a bite of cracker
and a morsel of peach every
other day.
That iron discipline kept all
33 miners alive for 17 days
on just two days' worth of
emergency rations. And the
same strength may be needed
while they wait for rescuers to
dig a tunnel wide enough to
get them out — an operation
that Chilean officials say may
take until Christmas.
"The way that they have
rationed the food, just as
they've performed throughout
this crisis, is an example for
all of us," Mining Minister
Laurence Golborne said
Tuesday after talking with the
miners at length the night
before through an intercom
system lowered into their
underground refuge.
President
Chilean
Sebastian Pinera spoke by
phone Tuesday with Luis
Urzua, the 54-year-old shift
foreman who has been the
miners' leader underground.
"You will not be left alone,
you have not been alone. The
government is with you all,
the entire country is with you
all," Pinera said.
Jorge Barahona isn't surprised Urzua, his cousin, has
led the men through such a
precarious situation.
"All the guys with him
have an experience of surviving, their work is survival,"
said Barahona, standing
around
a
campfire
Wednesday, warming his
hands as the sun peeked over
the mountains.
Urzua's father was killed
when the foreman was just a
teenager, and he immediately
took charge of his younger
brothers and sisters, developing his leadership skills early
in life, his cousin said.
"He's the leader of everything down there," said
Barahona, who doubts any of
the miners would question his
direction. "They know before
something like this happens
that there is somebody who
will always lead."
The miners were plunged
into darkness by the Aug. 5
collapse of the main shaft of a
gold and copper mine that
runs like a corkscrew for
more than 4 miles (7 kilometers) under a barren mountain
in northern Chile's Atacama
Desert. They gained contact
with the outside world
Sunday when rescuers drilled
a narrow bore-hole down to
their living-room-sized shelter after seven failed attempts.
"It's been like a heart that's
breaking, but we're thankful
they're all alive," bore-hole
driller Rodrigo Carreno told
The Associated Press as he
prepared to leave Tuesday.
"We did everything we could
to save them, and in the end
we succeeded."
The miners said they conserved the use of their helmet
lamps, their only source of
light other than a handful of
vehicles whose engines contaminate the air supply. They
fired up a bulldozer to carve
into a natural water deposit,
but otherwise minimized
using the vehicles.
The miners can still reach
many chambers and access
ramps in the lower reaches of
the mine, and have used a
separate area some distance
from their reinforced emergency refuge as their bathroom. But they have mostly
stayed in the refuge, where
they knew rescuers would try
to reach them.
The room has become stiflingly hot and stuffy.
Leaving it allows them to
breathe better air, but wandering too far is risky in the
mine, which has suffered several rock collapses since the
initial accident. It's also
spooky, since headlamps can
illuminate only small areas of
the vast space.
Three 6-inch-wide (15-centimeter) shafts are serving as
the miners' "umbilical cords"
— one for supplies, another
for communications and a
third to guarantee their air
supply.
Family members who have
maintained an anxious vigil
outside the mine were encouraged to send down notes. First
was Lila Ramirez, answering
the "Dear Lila" letter from her
husband, Mario Gomez, that
thrilled the nation when the
president read it aloud
Sunday, providing the first
details of the miners' survival.
"I wrote him just now and
told him to be very patient,
that we're all camped out here,
following his every heartbeat.
That he shouldn't become desperate, and that he try to be
extremely tranquil," Ramirez
told the AP.
With each passing day, the
families have been praying for
their trapped husbands,
brothers
and
fathers,
boyfriends in tents surrounding the mine entrance, where
cold nights end in a chilly fog.
There's a bonfire to keep
warm, and barbecue and other
food donated by the local government in a common tent.
"We're not going to abandon this camp until we go out
with the last miner left," said
Maria Segovia. "There are 33
of them, and one is my brother."
In one more week, the men
will have been trapped underground longer than any other
miners in history. Last year,
three miners survived 25 days
trapped in a flooded mine in
southern China. Few other
rescues have taken more than
two weeks.
Carter lands in North Korea to
bring home American
By JEAN H. LEE
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Koreans welcomed
Jimmy Carter back to Pyongyang with smiles, salutes and
hearty handshakes Wednesday as the former American
president arrived on a mission to bring home a Boston man
jailed in the communist country since January.
U.S. officials have billed Carter's trip as a private
humanitarian visit to try to negotiate the release of Aijalon
Gomes, sentenced to eight years of hard labor in a North
Korean prison for entering the country illegally from
China.
However, visits like Carter's — and the journey exPresident Bill Clinton made a year ago to secure the
release of two American journalists — serve as more
than just rescue missions. They also offer an opportunity for unofficial diplomacy between the U.S. and North
Korea, analysts say.
Communist North Korea and the capitalist U.S.
fought on opposite sides of the Korean War. Three
years of warfare ended in 1953 with a cease-fire but not
a peace treaty, and the two Koreas remain divided by
one of the world's most fiercely fortified borders.
To this day, the U.S. stations 28,500 troops in South
Korea to guard the longtime ally, a presence that chafes
at Pyongyang, which cites the forces as a main reason
behind its need for nuclear weapons.
For more than a year, relations have been particularly tense, with North Korea testing a nuclear weapon
and long-range missile technology, and the U.S. leading
the charge to punish Pyongyang for its defiance.
The March sinking of a South Korean warship, which
killed 46 sailors, has provided fresh fodder for tensions.
Seoul and Washington accuse Pyongyang of torpedoing
the vessel; North Korea denies involvement and has
threatened harsh retaliation if punished.
With all sides digging in, six-nation nuclear disarmament talks have remain stalled. North Korea wants a
peace treaty; South Korea and the U.S. want an apology for the sinking of the warship.
Last year, it took Clinton's visit to get the U.S. and
North Korea talking again. Some five months after
journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee were seized near
the Chinese border, Clinton — the last president to have
had warm relations with North Korea — turned up in
Pyongyang on a private jet.
Clinton was cordial but serious as he met with leader
Kim Jong Il, who appeared giddy at being photographed next to the former president. North Korean
state media paid little attention to the two journalists he
had gone to retrieve, focusing instead on Clinton.
With relations again at a standstill, Carter's mission to
bring Gomes home could again provide another facesaving opening for contact, analysts said.
Paik Hak-soon, a North Korea analyst at the private
Sejong Institute think tank near Seoul, predicted Carter
would meet with Kim, and that Kim would ask him to
relay a positive message to Washington on the resumption of nuclear disarmament talks.
He said the trip has a "positive" aspect, given Carter's
popularity and symbolic role in defusing the first
nuclear crisis in 1994.
Carter made his first trip to Pyongyang when Clinton
was president — a visit that resulted in a warm meeting
with late President Kim Il Sung and led to a landmark
nuclear disarmament deal.

Devastating series of attacks across Iraq kill
By SAMEER N. YACOUB
BAGHDAD (AP) —
Bombers and gunmen killed
55 Iraqis in nearly two dozen
attacks spanning the country
Wednesday, mostly targeting
security forces in seemingly
coordinated strikes the day
after the number of U.S.
troops fell below 50,000 for
the first time since the start
of the war.
Insurgents have been stepping up their attacks on Iraq's
security forces in recent
months as the U.S. has
trimmed its military presence in the country. At least
half of those killed — 30 —
were Iraqi soldiers and
policemen.
There were no claims of
responsibility for the spate of
attacks. But their scale and
reach, from one end of the
country to the other, underscored insurgent efforts to
prove their might against
security forces and political
leaders who are charged with
the day-to-day running and
stability of Iraq.
The deadliest attack came
in Kut, 100 miles (160 kilometers)
southeast
of
Baghdad, where a suicide
bomber blew up a car inside
a security barrier between a
police station and the provincial government's headquarters. Police and hospital officials said 19 people were
killed, 15 of them policemen.
An estimated 90 people were
wounded.
"I rushed to the scene to
help evacuate the people,
and saw body parts and
hands scattered on the
ground and dead bodies of
policemen," said government employee Yahya alShimari. "I also saw a traffic
policeman lying dead on the
ground. There were about 15
cars that were burnt."
"There were so many
wounded people that the
hospital was not able to take
all of them," said Dr. Walid
Khalid of the Kut Hospital.
A similar attack struck a
neighborhood in north
Baghdad, where a suicide
bomber detonated a car
bomb in a parking lot behind
a police station.
Fifteen people were killed
in the blast, including six
policemen. Police and hospital officials said another 58
were wounded in the explosion that left a crater three
yards (meters) wide and
trapped people beneath the
rubble of felled houses nearby.
Five others, including an
Iraqi soldier and a police
officer, were killed in small
bursts of violence in
Baghdad.
A senior Iraqi intelligence
official who spoke on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to talk
to the media, said the
Baghdad suicide bombing
bore the hallmarks of alQaida.
Iraqi Foreign Minister
Hoshyar Zebari said the
stalled government, combined with the American
troop withdrawal, created
ideal conditions for insurgents to attack. Even so, he
said the security situation
was "under control."
"Here you have a government paralysis, you have a
political vacuum ... you have
the U.S. troop withdrawal,"
he said to The Associated
Press. "And in such environment these terrorist networks
flourish actually and would
love to deepen divisions
among Iraqi politicians to
apportion blame on each
other in order to create as
much chaos as possible."
But U.S. and Iraqi officials
alike acknowledge growing
frustration throughout the
nation, nearly six months
after the vote, and say that
politically motivated vio-
Judge orders strict outpatient
care for Lindsay Lohan
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
(AP) — A judge on
Wednesday ordered Lindsay
Lohan to undergo a rigorous
outpatient rehab program that
will require frequent counseling but will permit the actress
to continue working.
Los Angeles Superior Court
Judge Elden S. Fox ordered
the "Mean Girls" star to undergo psychotherapy and addiction counseling sessions several times a week until
November. He also ordered
the 24-year-old to submit to
random drug and alcohol testing at least twice a week and to
continue living in the Los
Angeles area.
He said Lohan could be sent
back to jail for up to 30 days if
she doesn't comply or if she
fails the drug and alcohol
screenings.
Fox laid out the terms of the
actress' early release from an
inpatient rehab center during a
10 minute hearing, which
Lohan did not attend. The
judge said he ordered the
actress' release at 5 p.m.
Tuesday.
The judge did give Lohan
some incentives and rewards.
He dismissed two drug counts
that the actress had pleaded
guilty to in 2007. He also said
Lohan will be taken off supervised probation in November
if she complies with his
orders, passes all drug and
alcohol tests and does not
miss any of her counseling
sessions.
Fox took over Lohan's case
after another, Judge Marsha
Revel, recused herself. A
prosecutor had complained
Revel met with defense attorneys and called rehabilitation
programs without notifying
her.
lence could undo security
gains made over the past few
years.
"What is going on in the
said
Abu
country?"
Mohammed, an eyewitness
to a car bombing near
Baghdad's Adan Square that
killed two passers-by.
"Where is the protection,
where are the security
troops?"
Still, some security forces
proved to be on guard. Police
in the northern city of Mosul
said Iraqi soldiers shot and
killed a suicide bomber
Wednesday afternoon as he
sought to blow up his car
outside an army base.
From the northern Iraqi
city of Kirkuk to the holy
Shiite shrine town of
Karbala, scattered attacks
killed and wounded scores
more. They included:
—A local council building
in Muqdadiyah, north of the
capital, was hit with a car
bomb. Three people were
killed and 18 wounded, said
Diyala police spokesman
Maj. Ghalib al-Karkhi.
—In the former insurgent
stronghold of Fallujah,
police said a soldier was
killed and 10 people wounded when a suicide bomber
rammed his car into an Iraqi
army convoy.
—Car bombs in Kirkuk,
Iskandariyah, Dujail and
Mosul killed six and wounded
29. A roadside bomb in Tikrit,
Saddam Hussein's hometown,
killed a policeman on patrol
and wounded another.
—Another car bomb in a
Ramadi bus station west of
Baghdad killed three policemen and wounded nine other
people.
—A car bomb near police
station in Karbala wounded
28 people but no fatalities
were immediately reported.
Two people in the southern
port city of Basra were also
injured by a car bomb.
—Two roadside bombs in
the city of Beiji killed one person and wounded five.
—Gunmen in Mosul
attacked a police checkpoint,
killing a police officer and
wounding another.
While violence has subsided significantly since the
height of the sectarian bloodshed in 2006 and 2007, militants continue to target members of Iraq's nascent security
forces, undermining their ability to defend the country as
the U.S. ends combat operations.

Big Sandy Community and
Technical College (BSCTC)
announces the 2010-2011 Big
Sandy Singers. The Big
Sandy Singers are the elite,
student singing group who
are all students at one of the
four BSCTC campuses
Prestonsburg,
(Pikeville,
Paintsville, Hager Hill) or on
the Morehead Extended
Campus at BSCTC. These
students are chosen through
an extensive audition process
and receive scholarships to
attend college.
The Singers were founded
in the Fall of 2004 by
Director Laura Ford Hall and
BSCTC President Dr. George
Edwards, with help from
Provost Dr. Nancy Johnson.
Since their inception, the
Singers have performed over
400 shows and have brought
a “go to college” and “drug
free” message to over 18,000
elementary and high school
students across the eastern
Kentucky region with their
school show and Big Sandy
Idol programs.
“I am very excited about
this upcoming year,” said
Hall. “We have a very talented, wonderful group. More
than anything, I am so proud
that all of these excellent
singers are from right here at
home. You will not find better talent anywhere than what
you will find in Eastern
Kentucky.”
In addition to Hall, the
group is served by Technical
Director Timothy Cooley of
Prestonsburg and Assistant
Director Clayton Case of
Betsy Layne. The group is
sponsored
by
Jennifer
Reynolds
State
Farm
Insurance of Crossroads
Plaza, Pikeville.
The Big Sandy Singers sing
all over Pike, Floyd, Johnson,
Martin,
and
Magoffin
Counties for civic, church,
and business functions as
well as perform at elementary
schools and in high schools as
they host the Big Sandy Idol
shows. The new singers are
already booked for several
shows including serving as
featured entertainment for the
Habitat
for
Humanity
Fundraiser at the Eastern
Kentucky Expo Center on
Sept. 26, as well as opening
for bluegrass artist Charlie
Sizemore at the Mountain
Arts Center on Sat. Sept. 25.
The group is already booked
for a Christmas Show and
Dinner at the Breaks
Interstate Park on Dec. 17.
The Big Sandy Singers are
currently recording their new
album which will include
favorites such as an a-capella
version of Journey’s “Don’t
Stop Believing,” “We are the
“Little
White
World,”
Church,” an a-capella version
of “Boogie Woogie Bugle
Boy,” “Make the World Go
Away,” the Crabb family’s
“Through the Fire,” and
many more country, bluegrass, pop, and gospel
favorites. To order Singers’
albums or learn more about

The Big Sandy Singers are

or private parties.

Singers also perform for free

COMMISSION
OF WEST VIRGINIA
CHARLESTON
CASE NO.1 0-0407SWF-PW
MCDOWELL COUNTY
SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY
and CAPELS LANDFILL, LLC.
Tariff fIling to modify
the operating schedule,
tonnage limit and rules
and regulations sections of existing tariff.
NOTICE OF FILING
OF
PROPOSED TARIFF
CHANGES
On March 24, 2010,
McDowell County Solid
Waste Authority and
Capels Landfill, LLC,
together referred to as
Petitioners, McDowell
County, filed a petition
with the Public Service
Commission for a temporary waiver under
Rule 1.6. of the Commission's Rules for the
Construction and Filing
a/Tariffs (Tariff Rules),
to modify the landfill
operating schedule.
Tariff Rule 1.6. is often
referred to the hardship
rule, i.e., it is invoked
when a hardship results from the application of any Tariff Rule or
if unusual difficulty is
involved in immediately
complying with any
rule, upon good cause
shown. The Petitioners
seek to modify the
landfill's
operating
hours and modify miscellaneous provisions
regarding the landfill's
operation. The current
Commission-approved
operating hours are
from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m., seven days a
week, for receipt of rail
waste; 7:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. on Mondays
through Fridays and
7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
on Saturdays for receipt of all solid waste
not transported by rail.
Based on operating
history and experience,
the proposed hours are
to keep the hours for
processing rail waste
only, but limiting the receipt of solid waste
transported by means
other than rail to 7:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The waiver petition
also seeks to add certain holidays, i.e., Good
Friday, the day after
Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New
Year's Eve. Cutting
back the hours for the
receipt of the solid
waste that the landfill
actually receives would
decrease the cost of
operating the landfill,
thereby eliminating the
hardship. The Petitioners alleged that the
current practice of
keeping the landfill
open 16 hours per day
seven days per week is
impractical.
Any person or other
legal entity affected by
this petition for a waiver
to change the operating hours may file a letter of protest or take
exception to the proposal, in writing, within
ten (10) days of the
date of publication of
this Notice. All protests
should be addressed to
Sandra Squire, Executive Secretary, Public
Service Commission of
West Virginia, P.O. Box
201
Brooks
812,
Charleston,
Street,
West Virginia 25323. If
the Commission does
not receive substantial
protests, it will grant the
waiver and approve the
proposed changes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Aug. 26, 2010:
This year, you move in a new direction because of input and relationships
with those who are close. You might
find or feel that you are always on
your own. You always have been; you
just might not have known it. Learn to
be dependent on only yourself. If you
are single, many exciting people could
mosey through your life. Love is
intense and unpredictable. Don’t try to
anchor someone in. Let him or her be
free if you value the bond. If you are
attached, your significant other could
become very unpredictable. Don’t take
his or her actions personally. The relationship could encourage you to transform as well. ARIES reads you cold.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll
Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average;
2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
### Your instincts guide you. The
unexpected weaves through your
daily life. You gain new insights and
knowledge from events and people. A
detached yet observant attitude pays
off. Tonight: Chill, then decide.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
#### Don’t lose your focus when
someone surprises you. You could be
shaking your head for quite a while
about what is going on. Investigate
and understand what is motivating
others. Flex. Tonight: You need some
downtime.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
#### Others follow your lead.
You might be far more flexible than
you think. Many people are amazed at
how you adjust to the vicissitudes of
life. Take the lead once more in stormy
waters. Tonight: Be ready to join
friends. If the invitation doesn’t come,
you make the first move.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
#### Reach out for someone at a
distance. You might not believe some
of the information and news heading
in your direction. The unexpected
plays a role. Listen, but also detach in
order to get to the bottom line.
Tonight: Could be working late.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
#### A partner moves forward
with ideas. What someone suggests
could be shocking, if nothing else.
Understand what is happening with
this person, and look for solutions.
Don’t trust anyone with your financial
decisions. Tonight: Follow the music.
Ad goes here
HOROSCOPE
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
#### You will want to defer to
others. Understand what is going on
behind the scenes with a partner. You
might want to detach from someone
who always is shaking up the status
quo. You might not want to tolerate
this uproar. Tonight: Just don’t be
alone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
### You will be left holding down
the fort if no one else can or will. An
element of disruption and change
floats through your day, forcing your
hand. Be willing to incorporate new
technology. Tonight: Stretch and take a
walk, then decide what appeals to
you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
##### You have the adaptability
and creativity to move past an immediate issue. You discover that others
could be floored, whereas your mind
is delighted by challenges. A child or
loved one could act up. Tonight: Join
in on some fun. Still, make it an early
night.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
#### Listen to news that comes
forward. You might need to make an
adjustment. You could make a major
change in your domestic or personal
life, should you decide to. You might
opt to work from home. Tonight:
Hang out close to home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
#### The unexpected occurs
while just going through your daily
life. You might be distracted, but not
for long. A situation invigorates you.
Clear out calls and catch up on news,
even if it is laced with gossip! Tonight:
Hang out.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
##### You could be viewing a
risk differently from many who surround you. Get to the bottom of a
problem, knowing a situation is wide
open. A partner might be uncomfortable with your focus. Tonight: Head
out to a local spot.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
##### You might be surprised
by everything that heads in your
direction. Others find you a bit off or
flaky. Listen to your inner voice, as
you are going to be pushed in a new
direction. Tonight: Do your thing, and
buy yourself a much-needed treat.

Stocks drop after
sharp fall in July
By STEPHEN BERNARD
NEW YORK (AP) —
Stocks fell Tuesday after
another disappointing report
on the housing market
renewed worries about the
economy.
The Dow Jones industrial
average lost nearly 125
points in afternoon trading
after news that sales of previously occupied homes fell
last month to their lowest
level in 15 years.
The Dow briefly dipped
below 10,000 for the first
time in seven weeks and was
down as much as 183 points
earlier in the day before paring its losses. Investors seeking refuge from the latest
stock swings piled back into
Treasurys, sending interest
rates lower. The yield on the
two-year Treasury note
touched another record low.
Global
markets
fell
sharply. Japanese stocks led
the way lower, falling more
than 1 percent as the yen hit a
fresh 15-year high against the
dollar. Japan's economy
relies heavily on exports, so a
stronger yen hurts the profits
of major Japanese companies.
Stocks have been sliding in
recent days as investors focus
on signs that economic
growth is slowing. A new
wave of corporate dealmaking gave stocks a temporary
boost Monday, but those
gains quickly faded.
The National Association
of Realtors said sales of previously occupied homes
plunged 27 percent in July to
an annual rate of 3.83 million, the lowest rate in 15
years. That's much worse
than the 4.7 million estimate
from economists polled by
Thomson Reuters. The 27
percent drop from the previous month was the biggest
since record-keeping began
in 1968.
Home sales have tumbled
since a homebuyer tax credit
expired at the end of April,
despite mortgage rates falling
to record lows. A stubbornly
high unemployment rate of
9.5 percent has been keeping
home sales down, and banks
have also been cautious in
making new loans.
"Without a boost in job
creation, (buyers) just won't
have the confidence to step
in and buy a new home,"
David Katz, principal at
Weiser Capital Management
said.
In afternoon trading, the
Dow Jones industrial average
fell 122.23, or 1.2 percent, to
10,052.11. The Standard &
Poor's 500 index fell 14.87,
or 1.4 percent, to 1,052.49,
while Nasdaq composite
index fell 33.24, or 1.5 percent, to 2,126.39.
About three stocks fell for
every one that rose on the
New York Stock Exchange
where volume came to 654.7
million shares.
Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 1.3 percent after worries about the high yen hit
share prices there.
In Europe, Britain's FTSE
100 fell 1.5 percent,
Germany's DAX index
dropped 1.3 percent, and
France's CAC-40 fell 1.8 per-
cent.
The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note, which moves
opposite to its price, fell to
2.50 percent from 2.60 percent late Monday. That yield
helps set interest rates on
mortgages and other consumer loans.
The 10-year note's yield
continues to hover around
levels not reached since
March 2009, when the stock
market hit a 12-year low and
investors were concerned
about the deepening recession. The yield on the twoyear note went as low as 0.46
percent, another in a series of
record lows.
Stock traders are "taking
their cues from the bond market," said Lawrence Glazer, a
partner
at
managing
Mayflower Advisors. "It really has been a dramatic and
frightening shift" in Treasury
prices, which has spooked
investors and led to worries
about another recession,
Glazer said.
Reports due out later in the
week will also provide
insight into the health of the
economy. Data on new home
sales, durable goods orders,
weekly jobless claims and
consumer sentiment are
scheduled for later in the
week.
The government will also
release a revised report on
second-quarter gross domestic product. The broadest
measure of the country's total
economic output is expected
to be lower than initially
thought, adding to concerns
about the pace of the domestic recovery.
Alaska’s Sen. Murkowski in jeopardy
By LIZ SIDOTI
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski
fought to save her job
Wednesday, locked in a stunningly tight Republican primary race against a political
novice backed by Sarah
Palin and tea party activists.
The outlook was far brighter
for another incumbent, Sen.
John McCain, who won
handily in Arizona.
With 98 percent of election
day precincts counted,
Murkowski trailed Joe
Miller by 1,960 votes out of
more than 91,000 counted.
The race was too close to
call, with as many as 16,000
absentee votes and an undetermined number of provisional or questioned ballots,
remaining to be counted
starting on Aug. 31.
Murkowski would be the
seventh incumbent — and
fourth Republican — to lose
in a year in which the tea
party has scored huge victories in GOP Senate primaries
and voters have shown a
willingness
to
punish
Republicans and a handful of
Democrats with ties to
Washington and party leadership. Miller is a Gulf War
veteran and self-described
"constitutional conservative."
It also was an outsider's
night in Florida's GOP primary for governor, with bigspending upstart Rick Scott
toppling veteran insider Bill
McCollum, the state's attorney general who had the support of national party chiefs.
Five states — Arizona,
Vermont and Oklahoma also
voted — held nominating
contests Tuesday, 10 weeks
before the general election.
The races highlighted dominant themes of this volatile
election year, including antiestablishment anger and tea
party challenges from the
right.
Elsewhere, the establishment prevailed.
McCain easily cinched his
party's renomination — and
likely re-election this fall —
by dispatching former Rep.
J.D. Hayworth, who had tea
party support. The 2008
GOP presidential nominee
spent more than $20 million
on the primary. Rep.
Kendrick Meek cruised to
the Democratic Senate nod
in Florida against a wealthy
political newcomer. And a
slew of Republican and
Democratic members of
Congress withstood primary
challenges.
But Murkowski's unexpectedly tough battle and
Scott's victory underscored
the unpredictability of this
election year ahead of
November, when control of
both houses of Congress will
be at stake.
The 2010 midterm elections already have seen six
incumbents lose. Sen. Robert
Bennett, R-Utah, was ousted
by his party. Sen. Arlen
Specter, D-Pa., and Reps.
Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va.,
Parker Griffith, R-Ala., Bob
Inglis, R-S.C., and Carolyn
Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich.,
failed in primary bids.
Now Murkowski might.
Appointed in 2002, she is
seeking her second full term
and was expected to coast to
re-election.
Miller initially looked like
a long shot, but he started to
gain steam as the primary
approached. He drew the
backing of the Tea Party
Express, a California-based
group that's run ads, held rallies
and
questioned
Murkowski's conservative
credentials. Also, Palin, the
former Alaska governor, and
her husband, Todd, rallied
behind Miller in the final
days, lending their name to
get-out-the-vote efforts.
Like Utah's Bennett,
Murkowski had stressed that
seniority mattered in the U.S.
Senate, where years of service translated into billions of
dollars for roads, ports,
bridges and other home state
projects. Alaskan voters
were reminded of that earlier
this month when former Sen.
Ted Stevens died in a plane
crash. For four decades,
Stevens consistently delivered federal dollars that
transformed the 49th state.
The race also had personal
overtones.
trounced
Palin
Murkowski's father, Frank
Murkowski, in a 2006 GOP
gubernatorial primary that
launched the 2008 vice presidential nominee's national
political career. And when
Palin abruptly resigned her
governor's post last summer,
Lisa Murkowski said she
was "deeply disappointed
that the governor has decided
to abandon the state and her
constituents before her term
has concluded."
The GOP primary winner
will be favored in November
over Sitka Mayor Scott
McAdams, who won the
Democratic nomination.
In Florida, Scott's financial
might and criticism of his
opponent as a typical taxraising politician proved too
much for McCollum, a former congressman, in the bitter GOP gubernatorial race.
Scott, who made a fortune
in the health care industry
and spent $39 million of it
blanketing the state with TV
ads, resonated with GOP voters as a "conservative outsider" who could run state
government like an efficient
business and reduce taxes.
He overcame accusations
that he was in charge when
his former hospital conglomerate paid $1.7 billion to settle federal Medicare fraud
charges.
That issue is likely to come
up again as he faces Alex
Sink, the state's chief financial officer, who sailed to the
Democratic nomination.
The peril establishment
candidates face was not lost
on McCain, who was at the
pinnacle of the GOP hierarchy just two years ago as the
Republican
presidential
nominee.
"I promise you, I take
nothing for granted and will
fight with every ounce of
strength and conviction I
possess to make the case for
my continued service in the
Senate," McCain told supporters in Arizona, quickly
focusing on the fall campaign in his bid for a fifth
term.
