One week five of us were driving there and we saw ahitchhiker. We thought we would pick him up and win him to Christ.He got in the car and we started talking polite chit-chat. He pulleda gun on us and said, “I’m going to kill the driver.” The driver said,“You may kill me, but I’m going to tell you about Jesus while you do.”So he started talking, realizing that at any moment he could be interruptedby his own death. The hitchhiker listened to him and receivedChrist. He then made a gift of the gun to the driver.Just a few years ago I was teaching soul winning in the Trinity BaptistChurch in Jacksonville, Florida. In the morning I preached, and inthe afternoon I taught the soul winning lecture that I’ve taught acrossthis nation and around the world. I taught the people how to be soulwinners. One man got so fired up for soul winning that he said, “I amgoing to be a soul winner!” He decided to witness to the first personhe saw after he got out of the lecture. It was late in the afternoon. Hejust had time to drive 40 miles home to get his wife and drive backfor the evening service. He got in his car and began driving whenhe saw a hitchhiker. “Here’s my chance to witness,” he thought. Thehitchhiker got in the car, pulled a weapon, pointed it at the man, andsaid, “Okay, I’m going to take your money and kill you and then takeyour car.”The Christian said, “Oh that’s good, but I just learned how to dosomething and I promised God that I’d tell the first person I met whatI’d learned. I just learned how to be a soul winner and I’m going totell you how you can go to Heaven when you die. If you want to killme, that’s up to you, but I’m going to tell you how you can go toHeaven when you die.” The hitchhiker accepted Jesus as his Saviourand handed over his weapon.The soul winner said to the fellow, “Look, I’m going to get my wifeand take her to church tonight. Why don’t you go with me?” He didso, and that night both the man who was going to murder and theman who would have been murdered walked down the aisle. Theman who had been saved by the one whom he intended to murdertestified what Christ meant to him and how happy he was to be savedand to know that he was going to Heaven. There behind the pulpit,arm-in-arm the soul winner and convert told of the grace of God allbecause of a little soul-winning course that afternoon.Hear Evangelist Roger McDonaldon WANY 106.3“The Sunday School Radio Bible Class”Every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.“The Things To Come Broadcast”at 9:00 a.m. every Saturday and 8 a.m. every SundayHear Evangelist Roger McDonaldon WLIV AM 920 and FM 104.7Heard every Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

Thursday, February 23, 2012 Clinton County News Page 7DistrictContinued from page 1House district with Wayne County,meaning the Clinton Countywould be represented by Monticelloattorney Sara Beth Gregory,who works with the Carroll andTurner law firm in Monticello.Gregory is serving her firstterm in the Kentucky House ofRepresentatives, having beenelected in 2010 to serve thedistrict that originally includedWayne, McCreary and part ofPulaski County.AuctionContinued from page 1It wasn’t long after Gibsonand Flowers took the air that thefirst call came through.Working the phone lines, asalways, two players answer thephone and take the bids called inby those listening.Bulldog team members WendellMaupin and Derek Albertsonhad the first 30-minute session.Although the radio auction ismainly for those sitting at homelistening to the radio, there isalso reason to be on site.“We had the biggest crowd onhand in the cafeteria we’ve everhad, we had the biggest numberof parents and fans helpingwe’ve ever had, and I’m prettysure we had the largest numberof donated items we’ve everhad,” Gibson said.In-house bids are over aftertwo and a half minutes, givingcallers a 30 second window toplace bids over the phone. Upuntil several years ago, the listenerat home had the advantageby being able to call at the lastsecond, but in the age of cellphones, people sitting in the audiencehave called using theircellular phones while watchingthe auction live.With more than five hoursof volunteers running around,picking out items to auction andcollecting money for items sold,Gibson said the entire night wentby without a hitch.“Still, despite the way thisevent had grown, we had what Ithink was the absolute smoothestrun last Friday night that we’veever had,” Gibson said. “Whileeveryone in the room and thosebidding over the phones seemedto be having a lot of fun, thebottom line when all was saidand done, was that the kids andthe basketball programs were thebig winners.”Although there were morethan plenty of the “smalleritems” on hand to be auctioned,there were several larger itemsauctioned off that required alonger time limit.Several houseboats weredonated from local docks,including Sunset Dock inByrdstown, Tennessee, alongwith Grider Hill Dock andWisdom Dock in Albany.Another big auction itemwas donated by the Blue GrassLivestock Marketing Groupwhich consisted of a $500When the new map was releasedand signed into law byGov. Steve Beshear, Hoover expressedhis anger at the move ina brief interview with the ClintonCounty News.“I have so many friends andfamily there still, I was bornthere and grew up there on HopkinsStreet,” Hoover said duringan interview with the ClintonCounty News on January 16.“It’s like my second home - alwayshas been and always willbe.”When it appeared that ClintonCounty would be moved intoGregory’s 52nd District, she issuedthe following statement viaemail saying she welcomed havingClinton County as part of herdistrict.“Soon after the passage ofHouse Bill 1, I began contactinglocal officials and other individualsin Clinton County to discussthe needs and concerns of thecounty,” Rep. Gregory said. “Ilook forward to the opportunityto represent the people of ClintonCounty and will work hard to beyour voice in Frankfort.”The issue is still up in the airhowever, after several House Republicansjoined in a lawsuit tochallenge the legality of the newHouse boundary lines.Hoover, who is the House ofRepresentative Minority Leader,was one of the plaintiffs listedreduction in commission cost atthe first sale for the first pen ofcattle sold at the very first sale.That item was auctioned foron the suit, which challengedthe constitutionality of the newboundary lines.In a decision that was madetwo weeks ago on February 7,Franklin Circuit Judge PhillipShepherd ruled that the newboundaries were in fact unconstitutionalbecause they split toomany counties and allows toomany counties to vary by morethan five percent from what is referredto as the “idea populationsize”.In his ruling, Shepherd tossedout the new law and ordered thatthe upcoming primary electionsfor Kentucky House seats, usethe previous district lines.That decision was challenged$1,100.The three houseboats andthe $500 commission reductionalone totaled $3,500.Bulldog Auction co-hosts Jackie Flowers and Al Gibson run through the first set of itemsFriday afternoon at the high school during the annual Booster Club Radio Auction. Gibson usesa cowbell to alert bidders to the final 30 seconds of each segment as well as to the end of thebidding time for each group of items being sold.Mark Maupin and Jerry Starns controlled the marker board during the first hour of theauction, taking bids from the players who were manning the telephone bank as well as frombidders in the audience.Several parents were on hand early Friday at the Bulldog Booster Club Radio Auction takingdown bidder’s names and the items they had purchased. Manning the tally table during thissegment were, left to right, Tammy Cook, Amy Davis, Becky Means and Cindy Choate.by legislative leaders who appealedto the Kentucky Courtof Appeals, which sent the casestraight to the Kentucky SupremeCourt.The parties involved in thecase were ordered to have theirrecords filed with the SupremeCourt by noon (EDT) this pastFriday, with briefs for the February24 hearing due to be filed bySchoolsContinued from page 1this Wednesday.The Kentucky Supreme Courtalso noted in it’s two-page orderFriday, that each side will begiven 15 minutes to present it’sarguments.The redistricting measures aremandated following each censusin an effort to make each ofthe Kentucky House districts asclose as possible in regards topopulation.position June 30.After approving minutes oftwo separate board meetings,on a motion by Kevin Marcum,they granted a medical leave ofabsence to Crystal Adkins fromFebruary 22 through August 1 ofthis year; voted to approve fivebetween meeting disbursementsand voted to pay claims and bills.Supt. McFall then presentedthe monthly personnel report,as follows: Substitute teachers--Kathy Wallen, Foothills Academy;Tammie Conner, AES; CodyCraig, districtwide. Classifiedhired--Tyler Shearer, paraprofessionalat AES and David Dorn,bus driver, districtwide. Transfer--ShaniceGarner from custodianat AES to Clinton CountyHigh School.The board was then presentedthe tentative 2012-13 school yearcalendar for review.Supt. McFall said the onlychanges from the current calendarwould be adding instructionalhours at the high school.Calendar days would decreasefrom 173 to 170, but instructionalhours in the classroom wouldincrease to six hours and 15 minutesper day and CCHS was consideringgoing from a trimestersystem, back to a semester system.Also, a discussion ensued onwhether to take out the day beforeThanksgiving as an instructionalday. Supt. McFall saidmost staff was in favor of takingthat day off and Director of PupilPersonnel Charlotte Bernardalso said that Wednesday beforethe holiday break was one of thelowest in attendance for the year.Board members Paula Keyand Goldie Stonecipher againvoiced concerns about parentswho have to work that day andhaving to make arrangementsfor sitters and so forth. Stonecipheralso referenced that mostemployers require work that particularday in order to get theirvacation day’s pay.Key suggested that if they dotake off on Wednesday this year,and if attendance on the Tuesdayprior was down, they shouldgo back to going on Wednesdays,because taking the day offwouldn’t help anyway.Eventually, Board MemberMarcum moved to approve the2012-13 year calendar, with theday prior to Thanksgiving beinga ‘no class’ day, which passed byunanimous vote.An even lengthier discussionensued on the fencing project atClinton County Middle School,as discussions have been goingon for a year now.Two quotes had been received,with the low being fromJosh Sells at a total cost of$34,679 which would includefencing the CCMS baseball andsoftball fields, around the HVACsystem and JROTC field equipmentat the high school. Thequote includes the cost of materialsas well.Some board members wereconcerned about the cost of theproject due to the current budgetsituation and cuts in state funding.It was noted that extras, suchas lighting, the most major expenseafter the fencing project itself,couldn’t be funded any timesoon.Also, home games wouldhave to be scheduled earlyenough in the afternoons to becompleted before dark, since thefields would have no lighting.Also, the school may charge admissionto games to help offsetoperating costs.Board member Junior Cecilmade the motion to approve thefencing project, which passedunanimously. However, it wasnoted that anything extra neededto complete the fields, such as aconcession area, lighting, etc.would only be added in years tocome, or when it is financiallyfeasible to do so.Near the end of the meeting,Tina Langford, principal at theEarly Childhood Center, gave apresentation reflecting assessmentdata results from MAP’sand Reading assessment results,summary of grades given byteachers, achievement gap targetsand future goals and programsand strategies in place atthe ECC to ensure upcoming assessmentgoals will be met.A brief video presentationwas also shown of the EarlyChildhood students learning inthe every day classroom setting.Director of Pupil PersonnelBernard then gave the monthlyattendance report for the fifthmonth of school, which showedvast improvement districtwidecompared to the previous year.The school with the highestrate of attendance for the monthwas the Early Childhood Centerat 94.40 percent average daily attendance.Clinton County HighSchool showed the greatest improvementin attendance for themonth at 91.36 percent, up 2.72percent from last year’s 88.64.Districtwide, attendance was up1.67 percent overall for the fifthmonth, at 93.13 compared to91.53 the fifth month a year ago.In other business, the board:* Approved a nonresidentpupil contract with Somerset IndependentSchools for the nextthree school years--through the2014-15 year.* Voted to declare over 280middle school text books to besold as surplus property.* Voted to allow students andfaculty from Albany Elementaryto conduct a coin drive fundraiserto support Relay for Life and/or the American Cancer Society.* Approved an overnight tripfor the middle school Jr. BetaClub officers to Louisville February22 through 24.The next regular meeting ofthe school board is scheduled forMonday, March 12 at 5 p.m. atthe Central Office and is open tothe general public.

Nemes.“We must work toward takingpolitics as best we can out ofthe redistricting process. It ismy belief the only way we canaccomplish it is by placing thatresponsibility in the hands of anindependent board.”Under Rep. Nemes’ proposalthe Committee on LegislativeRedistricting would be createdconsisting of 12 members, withthree members each being appointedby the President of theSenate, Speaker of the Houseof Representatives, and by theleadership of the minority partiesin the House and Senate.This panel would be responsiblefor redistricting beginning in2021. In addition the bill setsout criminal penalties for anyoneattempting to influence or bribea member of the Committee onLegislative Redistricting, whichwould be a Class A felony punishableby a fine of no less than$500,000.Rep.

Bill Farmer,R-Lexington (88th District) forthe 2012 Legislative Session.House Bill 407 was introducedin the Kentucky Houseof Representatives on February15th.South Kentucky RECC encouragesmembers to get rid of old appliancesSouth Kentucky RECC wantsits members to know that a newenergy efficient appliance onlysaves money if you get rid of theold one.In 2010 and 2011 many consumersgot federal rebates for anew refrigerator, water heater,or other household appliance.About 1.7 million rebates wereredeemed, and the U.S. Departmentof Energy estimates theseappliances will cut $65 millionfrom electric bills every year.Around $48 million of thatchunk will be saved mainly byconsumers who bought energyefficientrefrigerators, clotheswashers, and dishwashers.Great news, right? It is, if peoplefollow the adage, “Out withthe old, in with the new.” Butfor one in five households, that’snot the case. A national surveyby the Cooperative ResearchNetwork, an arm of the NationalRural Electric Cooperative Association,found 19 percent ofhomes have two refrigerators;two percent own three or more.The problem with keeping anold refrigerator is that you’re notsaving money. By sending these“energy hogs” to the basementor garage to keep sodas andpopsicles cold for the kids, youincrease electric bills even more.Appliances already use 13percent of your home’s electricity,and older appliances draineven more. A refrigerator fromthe 1970s costs $200 more tooperate every year than a currentmodel; a 1980s fridge isn’t muchbetter, wasting $100 in energydollars annually.For help in making efficientenergy purchases youcan get in touch with SouthKentucky RECC or visitwww.energystar.gov.South Kentucky RECC wantsyou to make the very best use ofyour energy dollar.WolfRiverGrillHWY. 111 • BYRDSTOWN, TN • 931-864-4499Come See UsFor GreatFamily Dining and“THE BEST STEAKSON THE LAKE”Open at 4:00 p.m.Wednesday, Thursday,Friday & SaturdayKIDS 8 ANDUNDER EAT FREE!

Thursday, February 23, 2012 Clinton County News Page 9BudgetContinued from page 1stated this could be the mostharsh decisions since the GreatDepression, and then read aprepared list of his own recommendations,which included:appointing a board to study jailcosts and determine whether ornot making it a 96-hour holdoverfacility would save on expenses;require county employees to pay50 percent of their own health insurancepremiums; cut all donationsof any kind to organizationsand others; hire one person--on apercentage collected--to be incharge of collecting the county’sOccupational Tax (saying thatseveral persons working in thecounty did not pay the tax, forexample, out-of-countians employedhere); cut the magistrates’and judge’s travel expenses,across the board; establish anambulance board to operate asa taxing district so that servicecould be self-funding; and, begintaking the 4 percent property taxrate allowed by law each fiscalyear.Following those recommendations,Fifth District MagistrateCharlotte Bernard madethe statement that despite whatsome public perception may be,she was “totally against taxes,”but rather favored cutting thebudget where necessary. Laterin the meeting, Second DistrictMagistrate Patty Guinn also emphaticallystated she had not onetime voted in favor of increasingtaxes.Fourth District MagistrateRicky Craig also inserted thatMagistrate Johnson had somegood points in his recommendationsand was firmly behindsome of the measures presented.First District Magistrate PhillipParrigin, however, in questioningan ambulance servicetaxing district, asked what if thecounty couldn’t get anyone toserve on such a board and alsosuggested other type cuts, suchas in utilities.Judge Huff said the court wasadvised last January (2011) ofpossible budget shortfalls andhad been in discussions with officialsfrom the Department ofLocal Government and local financeofficers from that branchof state government.Huff said the cost of fuel, insuranceand everything else hadgone up, and one of his recommendationswas to proceed withcreating an ambulance board,making it a taxing district and allowingthe board to set a tax ratefor that service.Director of Emergency ServicesLonnie Scott also told thecourt that most of the ambulancescurrently on the road havehigh mileage, with only one havingunder 100,000 miles and theaverage mileage in the fleet being162,000--basically meaningnew ambulances will be neededin the future.County Attorney MichaelRains, who had researched theambulance service taxing districtissue, told the court that atax rate of no more than 10 centsper $100 assessed value could belevied, under state law.Judge Huff noted that a proposed2012-13 fiscal year budgetwould be prepared and presentedfor review in a couple of monthsand reminded court members thestate has to sign off on any budgetpresented and it has to be abalanced budget.When Magistrate Johnsonmoved to approve the judge/executive’s recommendation toestablish an ambulance board,and set a taxing rate for the ambulanceservice on real and personalproperty, the motion diedfor lack of a second.Judge Huff then went on to hisrecommendations for the countyclerk’s and sheriff’s office budgets,neither of which have beenapproved, even though Departmentof Local Government representatives,at a call meetingearlier in the month, had urgedthe court to do so.Huff noted that if revenuesand/or cuts of $300,000 weren’tmade, the county couldn’t comeup with a balanced budget andsaid “the state will cut it for us.”He recommended cutting$38,000 from the clerk’s budget,some $30,000 in employee salariesand $8,000 in office supplies.When the judge asked for amotion on the budget, pursuantto his recommendation, no motionwas made.He then moved to the sheriff’sbudget, basically recommendingkeeping much of the budgetas is, but requiring the sheriff topay his own salary from fees collectedthrough his office. Again,no motion was made.County Clerk Jim Elmore andSheriff Rick Riddle both voicedthe similar sentiment that if theirbudgets as recommended byJudge Huff had passed, they mayhave to close their doors.Elmore said that a few yearsago his office employed up to sixpeople to handle the business thatcame through his office and he’snow down to three employees.Riddle noted that due to shortfallsin tax collections and otherfees in his office, he couldn’tmaintain a staff.The court then turned its attentionto a long-standing issue,that of employee health insurance.The cost to the county forthe insurance in the current yearis $207,896 and that, under theproposed rates from the insurancecarrier, would increase toover $243,000 this year.Judge Huff recommendeddiscontinuing county employeehealth insurance, which heestimated would save around$68,000 for the rest of this fiscalyear. It was also noted duringthe discussion that at this particularpoint, the county’s budgetdoesn’t have enough revenuesto last until the end of this fiscalyear on June 30.Magistrate Johnson broughtto the court’s attention that abouta year ago, he had recommendedrequiring employees to pay apercentage of their own healthinsurance. Also, MagistrateCraig stated “no one is going tomake a motion to cut employeehealth insurance.”Magistrate Bernard then suggestedmaking some types ofsmaller cuts now and continue tolook at other options as the fiscalyear continues. She also toldJudge Huff he was “not leaving(the court) a lot of options...it’sall or nothing,” adding it washard for court members to makea wise decision and added thejudge couldn’t blame (the budgetsituation) on the court.Some members from the audience,including some that wouldhave a stake in budget cuts, madecomments and/or suggestions, aswell as asking questions.Dependon us...As a trusted member of this community,weʼve helped many of your friendsand neighbors through the most diffi cultmoments of their lives.In time of need, weʼre here for you.Talbott Funeral Home606-387-7068Stephen M. Talbott ~ Licensed Funeral Director/EmbalmerWe Offer Pre-Arranged Funeral Services.Park Director Bobby Reneauemotionally told the court thatas of this point (at $10,000 peryear donation to the Park Board),considering there were about300 kids who use the park annually,the county was only payingabout nine cents per day perchild. “We need to come togetherto keep this park,” he added.There was then a questionabout the number of employeesat the Clinton County Jail and theturnover of employees that seemto be frequently hired.Jailer Gene Ferrill said thatstate minimums were set forstaffing and at the current time,the jail had 14 employees, 10full-time and two part-time andeven with that, as far as staterequirements, they are too shorton part-time employees to meetstate mandates.Deborah Brown, an employeewith the sheriff’s office,then asked if there weren’t anyother options besides cuttingthe county clerk’s and sheriff’sbudget. Judge Huff said that thestate DLG, in a listing of essentialand non-essential things thecounty must fund, said the sheriff’ssalary was non-essential, ornot mandated by the court to pay.Again, Sheriff Riddle saidif he had to pay his own salaryfrom the current rate of collections,he couldn’t maintain hisstaff and noted that some cutbacksin hours had already beenmade, further stating he mayhave to lay off most or all of hiscurrent staff.Magistrate Bernard asked thecounty clerk and sheriff if theycould take away some servicesnow while other options are explored,but Sheriff Riddle saidhis office has already started tolay-off and Elmore said he nowhas three people doing the workof six.Magistrate Craig also inserted,“We knew this was coming.”He said of the approximate 90county employees, 52 are currentlyon the county’s insuranceplan. In the past, some employeeshave publicly stated that theyare primarily “working becausethey have the insurance.”Magistrate Johnson thenasked the audience in attendancefor a show of hands on how manywould favor raising taxes. Only acouple of hands were raised.Another spectator again saidthat county employees shouldpay for their own insurance, sayinga lot of people who workdon’t have it.Judge Huff noted about theroad fund (when the road departmentwas called into question)was in good shape, since it wasoperated with its own state fundsand has a surplus, as well as doesthe LGEA, which can only beused for certain services. He addedit was the general fund (whichcounty government operates underto supply services) that wasunder pressure.When some questioned roaddepartment employees’ work orlack thereof, several magistrateswere quick to point out the workthe road crews--including in thewinter months--do, noting theywere out in all types of weatherat all times of the night doingtheir jobs.Another question arose aboutthe necessity for overtime at theambulance service and formerjudge/executive Charlene Kingquestioned the ambulance servicecollection rates.Scott also answered that questionin noting that, for example,if a person working that is aboutto be off the clock in 30 minutesgets an emergency call to transporta patient out-of-town, theyhave to make that run. It wasalso noted, insofar as ambulancerevenue, that most patients areon Medicare or Medicaid andthose entities only pay a certainamount, regardless of what thetransport cost would be. For example,a patient who is on Medicaremay have a bill of $2,000but the Medicare may only payhalf of that amount, leaving theambulance service to have to absolvethe remaining amount.Greg Abston also voiced hissupport for the idea of the ambulanceservice becoming a taxingdistrict to raise its own revenueto sustain itself. He told the audiencethat, “either you, me orsomeone you know is going touse the ambulance service.”Former Magistrate CharlieStearns also suggested that threefiscal court members at a timemeet with County Treasurer DallasSidwell (as to not constitutean illegal court meeting with amajority present) to work outrecommendations about the budgetto present to the full court.Magistrate Craig also said thecourt needed to start with reducingthe cost of health insuranceand go “line-item by line-item”in the budget on finding ways tocut.After the meeting, Judge Huffsaid he had presented the factsand recommendations to thecourt on how to correct the budgetsituation as required by theDepartment of Local Governmentand local finance officers,who had attended an earlier worksession on the budget prior to lastweek’s regular meeting.Following a few more questionsand comments from the citizenson hand, no further officialaction was taken and the meetingadjourned.The next regular meeting ofClinton Fiscal Court is scheduledfor March 15 at 5 p.m. and isopen to the general public.Barbara Sue HarlanBarbara Sue Harlan, 55,Goodman Rd., Albany, passedaway Friday, February 17, 2012at her residence.

S. Flag raised at Iwo JimaFebruary 23, 1945During the bloody battle of Iwo Jima, U. S. Marines from the 3rd Platoon, E Company, 2ndBattalion, 28th Regiment of the 5th Division take the crest of Mount Suribachi, the island’s highest peakand most strategic position, and raise the U. S. Flag. Marine photographer Louis Lowery was with themand recorded the event. American soldiers fighting for control of Suribachi’s slopes cheered the raisingof the flag, and several hours later, more Marines headed up to the crest with a larger flag. Joe Rosenthal,a photographer with Associated Press, met them along the way and recorded the raising of the secondflag along with a Marine still photographer and a motion picture cameraman.Rosenthal took three photographs atop Suribachi. The first, which showed five Marines and oneNavy corpsman struggling to hoist the heavy flag pole, became the most reproduced photograph inhistory and won him a Pulitzer Prize. The accompanying motion picture footage attests to the fact thatthe picture was not posed. Of the other two photos, the second was similar to the first but less affection,and the third was a group picture of 18 soldiers smiling and waving for the camera. Many of these men,including three of the six soldiers seen raising the flag in the famous Rosenthal photo, were killed beforethe conclusion of the Battle for Iwo Jima in late March.Iwo Jima was important because it was to become a base for fighter aircraft and an emergencylanding site for bombers when U. S. military began an aerial campaign against the Japanese home islands.It was a volcanic island in the Pacific, about 700 miles southeast of Japan. The first wave of militarystormed onto the island on February 19, 1945, after three days of heavy naval and aerial bombardment.On February 23, the crest of 550 foot Mount Suribachi was taken, and the next day the slopes ofthe extinct volcano were secured.By March 3, U. S. forces controlled all three airfields on the island, and on March 26 the lastJapanese defenders on Iwo Jima were wiped out. Only 200 of the original 22,000 Japanese defenderswere captured alive. More than 6,000 Americans died taking Iwo Jima, some 17,000 were wounded.Clay knocks out ListonFebruary 25, 1964On February 25, 1964, 22 year old Cassius Clay shocks the odds makers by dethroning worldheavyweight boxing champion Sonny Liston in a seventh round technical knockout. The dreaded Liston,who had twice demolished former champ Floyd Patterson in one round, was an 8-to-1 favorite. However,Clay predicted victory, boasting that he would “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” and knock outListon in the eighth round. The fleet footed youngster needed less time to make good on his claim.Liston, complaining of an injured shoulder, failed to answer the seventh round bell. A few moments later,a new heavyweight champion was proclaimed.Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942. He started boxing when hewas 12 and by age 18 had amassed a record of over 100 wins in amateur competition. In 1959, he wonthe International Golden Gloves heavyweight title and in 1960 a gold medal in the light heavyweightcategory at the Summer Olympic Games in Rome. Clay turned professional after the Olympics andwent undefeated in his first 19 bouts, earning him the right to challenge Sonny Liston, who had defeatedPatterson in 1962 to win his title.The descendant of a runaway Kentucky slave, Clay rejected his given name and became MohammadAli after joining the Nation of Islam, an organization with a concept of racial segregation. He often spokeof the importance of the Muslim religion in his life.In 1984, Ali was diagnosed with pugilistic Parkinson’s syndrome and has suffered a slow declineof his motor functions ever since. He celebrated his 70th birthday January 17.Watson and Crick discover chemical structure of DNAFebruary 28, 1953Cambridge University scientists James D. Watson and Frances H. C. Crick announce that they havedetermined the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule containing human genes.Though DNA -short for deoxyribonucleic acid- was discovered in 1869, its crucial role indetermining genetic inheritance wasn’t demonstrated until 1943. In the early 1950s, Watson and Crickwere only two of many scientists working on figuring out the structure of DNA. On the morning ofFebruary 28, they determined that the structure of DNA was a double-helix polymer, or a spiral oftwo DNA strands, each containing a long chain of monomer nucleotides, wound around each other.According to their findings, DNA replicated itself by separating into individual strands, each of whichbecame the template for a new double-helixWatson later said that Crick announced the discovery by walking into the nearby Eagle Pub andblurting out “we have found the secret of life.” The truth wasn’t that far off, as Watson and Crick hadsolved a fundamental mystery of science - how it was possible for genetic instructions to be held insideorganisms and passed from generation to generation. Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize in 1962.Clinton County News Headlines:Thursday, February 23, 1950 - Volume 1, #17Tobacco average near that of last yearKentucky’s burley-tobacco growers got an average of $45.69 a hundred pounds for their leaf in thesales season just closed.This was only eight cents less than last season’s average.

Kentucky was basically uninhabited in the early 1700s, and the AmericanIndians had treaty rights to hunt the land. One of the Shawneeʼs most celebrated chiefs, Blackhoof, wasborn in a village near what is now Winchester, Kentucky.When Daniel Boone and his early party tried to settle in Kentucky, the Shawnee and Cherokee, alongwith Lenape and Mingo, attacked a scouting and forage party that included Booneʼs son. The conflictsparked the beginning of what was known as Dunmoreʼs War in 1774. The escalating violence betweenBritish colonists moving into land south of the Ohio River (West Virginia and Kentucky) and theIndians resulted in successive attacks by Indian hunting and war bands against settlers. The war endedthat same year with the Indians losing their rights to hunt that area and agreeing to recognize the OhioRiver as the boundary between Indian lands and the British colonies.

That makes writingthis column a little difficult each year, especiallyon years such as this when our press deadlineprecedes our own first round district tournamentgame, as our Lady Dawgs and Bulldogs were setto play on Tuesday night.Still, for high school basketball fans in Kentucky,this week is the biggest, most exciting weekof the year, and especially of this post-season run.Everyone is still involved when Monday morningrolled around - some 270 teams in each division- girls and boys - are still playing basketballand as far as the standings were concerned onMonday morning - throw the season results out -they were all on an even standing.Lose the first game, and you’re out. By theweekend, that 270 has been cut to just 128 teamsand just a week later, we’re down to the 16 teamsthat will be headed to Bowling Green for theMarch 7-10 girls’ Sweet 16, or the March 14-17boys’ Sweet 16 in Lexington.There will be some upsets along the way, anda few Cinderella teams will emerge - some thisweek. A few favorites will fall by the wayside -some this week.That’s why high school basketball in Kentuckyis so much fun - and why we pack the house(s)for the next three weeks. It’s just not like this anywhereelse.Booster Club WANY Radio Auction was abig hitFrom it’s humble beginnings back in the early1980s when Sid Scott, myself and a handful of parentsgathered in one of the studios at WANY to sella few items for the first Booster Club WANY RadioAuction - to what we experienced last Fridaynight at the cafeteria - boy, things sure do change.With well over 100 people gathered at any giventime in the CCHS cafeteria Friday night, andwith items going across the tote board all nightlong, I’d have to say that this 2012 Booster ClubAuction was our best - ever.My fellow co-host, Jack Flowers, who has beenat my side during the broadcast for many, manyyears now after Sid stepped down, agreed afterthe program had signed off - it was probably thesmoothest auction we’ve ever had.More help, many of whom were “seasoned”volunteers with experience at what needed to bedone and when and the “newbies” were eager tolearn and jumped right in.The telephone bidders came early and stayedlate, and the in-house bidders did the same.Bottom line - the kids were the real winners.Thanks to all for another successful Radio Auction.It’s March in Kentucky - and I’m busy, don’tcall me until April.Subscribe Today!
