Pike judgepleas toCongress fordredge funds


PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Pike CountyJudge/Executive Wayne T. Rutherford askedU.S. Representative Harold “Hal” Rogers andU.S. Senator Jim Bunning for help in seekingcongressional delegation funding assistanceto dredge the creeks, streams, and hollows inareas that were devastated by flooding duringthe weekend of May 8. “We want to put some of our local citizens

out into the workforce to dredge flood-devas-tated areas. This will stimulate our local econ-omy by providing jobs to some of the peoplein the county who need them, and it will sta-bilize and protect areas that have beendestroyed by flooding by preventing furtherflooding that could be caused by additionalrains,” said Judge Rutherford. According to Judge Rutherford, the flood-

ing which occurred two weeks ago exceededthe areas located within the 100-year floodplain. He said that two contracts to dredgeand stabilize streams in flood-devastatedareas have already been awarded, and arebeing funded through the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture, NaturalResources Conservation Service (NRCS).

“Thou shalt not covetthy neighbor’s house,thou shalt not covet thyneighbor’s wife…noranything that is thyneighbor’s.” (Exodus20:17)

The 10 commandments are a series of detailedlaws that reveal the very character of God. Theyreveal God as a lawgiver and as the Holy One. The10th law states that we shall not covet. Covet means“to have a strong desire for.” Coveting was notmerely an appreciation of something from a dis-tance, but an uncontrolled, inordinate, selfish desire.This 10th command governed an internal matter: thesin of coveting occurred in the mind. This demon-strated that God intended for the Israelites not onlyto avoid the actions named in the previous com-mands, but also to turn away from evil thought thatled to those actions.Have you ever wanted something that belonged to

someone else so much that you could not keep fromthinking about it? It might be a beautiful home, anexpensive car, lovely clothes, or any number ofthings, and it was almost like an obsession. Thedesire for worldly gain was foremost in your mind.Have you not heard someone say, “I’d love to win

the lottery so I could buy everything I ever wanted?”The love of money causes people to rob, kill, and domany things that they would not do otherwise. Thosewho want to get rich fall into temptation and a trapand many foolish and harmful desires that plungemen into ruin and destruction. The Bible tells us that“the love of money is the root of all evil: whichwhile some coveted after, they have erred from thefaith, and pierced themselves with many griefs.The apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to flee from

all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,love, endurance and gentleness. He remindedTimothy that godliness with contentment is greatgain. We brought nothing into the world, and we cantake nothing out of it. If we have food and clothing,we will be content with that. (I Timothy 6: 6-12)May this give us much food for thought and pray

that we will get our priorities in the right place.

God said we must not covet,Nor have as our priorities worldly gain,So that we can think of nothing else,And in our misery complain.God says the love of money is the root of all evil,So we should pursue righteousness,And be content with what we have,Knowing that in this God will bless.

Dear Father, please forgive me if I allow the desirefor earthly gain keep me from enjoying the manyblessings I have received from you. For Christ’ssake. Amen.

It might be easier to tellthe future by reading tealeaves than to get an accu-rate picture of the state’sbudget outlook for next fis-cal year.One week it looks like

state revenues might be onthe upswing, then we getnews from the Governor’sOffice that fiscal year 2010,beginning July 1, could bethe year we face a budgetshortfall of more than $1billion. You heard it right—even with all the cutting

and revenue changes madeover the past 2-3 years, theCommonwealth could faceone of the most challengingGeneral Fund shortfalls instate history.More precise shortfall

figures are due from anindependent team of econo-mists at the end of May, butthe initial estimatesreleased on April 30 by thestate show that a shortfallof $818 million to $1 bil-lion is quite possible. Thisis not what we want to hear.We want to believe our

state, which saw its joblessrate jump in March to itshighest rate in a quartercentury at 9.8 percent, is ineconomic recovery. We are

tired of learning that fami-ly, friends, perhaps evenourselves, have lost jobsand must rely on a stateunemployment system thatstate officials say is essen-tially bankrupt from anavalanche of claims. Wewant to hear that the so-called Great Recession iscoming to an end. But atthe same time, we want tobe realistic.We got pretty much what

we are looking for lastweekend with the release ofa story titled “Numbers sayworst part of recessionover” from the AssociatedPress. The article explainedthat many experts believethat, yes, the economy is

turning around, but proba-bly not as quickly as we’dlike. The earliest theyexpect economic growth isthis summer or, more like-ly, this fall once tax cutsand federal stimulus pro-jects have had time towork.There is already some

evidence of a possible turn-around, including recentnews that job losses are atthe lowest level sinceDecember, consumerspending and home salesare up, and construction ison the rise. So there issome end in sight. It justwon’t come as quickly, orneatly, as we would like.The economy will likely

shrink some more, and thejobless rate will likely risebefore it falls, possibly towhat the article called a“stinging 10 percent” froma rate of 8.9 percent onMay 8. Even a generallyoptimistic Federal ReserveChairman Ben Bernankehas said the recovery willcome in fits and starts, withmore job losses likely.So, no, it will not be a

neat recovery. But the pos-sibility of growth ‘by thenumbers’ is better than any-thing we could have hopedfor five or six months ago.What is improbable is

that any recovery will bestrong enough to solveKentucky’s massive statebudget problems before theregular legislative budgetsession begins in January.There just is not time. Thatmeans that Kentucky statelawmakers and GovernorSteve Beshear will onceagain have to consider pro-gram cuts, new sources ofrevenue or, possibly, usinga large part of the state’sfederal stimulus money toget us out of the billion-dollar budget hole we arefacing.We could be back in June

in special session to tacklethis issue, or a special ses-sion might come later in thesummer or fall. Wheneverthe issue is addressed insession, I will keep youinformed of what action istaken along the way.Another responsibility

we as lawmakers and allKentuckians have is tohonor our military and theirsacrifices in wars and con-flicts, past and present. Wehave a chance to do thatthis Memorial Day, whichwill be observed onMonday, May 25. Pleasetake time to participate inlocal observances andhonor those who have pre-served America’s freedom.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -Similar game, different end-ing for the Los AngelesLakers.Their 24-year playoff

dominance of the DenverNuggets dissipated over thefinal 29 seconds of thefourth quarter in the seconddown-to-the-wire game inthe Western Conferencefinals.That's when Kenyon

Martin hit a layup in trafficand Chauncey Billups made3 of 4 free throws to giveDenver a 106-103 victory inGame 2 on Thursday nightto even the series."It's going to be a long

series," Nuggets coachGeorge Karl said.It was Denver's first play-

off win against Los Angelessince 1985, a span of 11games, the second-longestpostseason winning streakagainst one team in NBAhistory."There was just a demand

that we had to win thisgame," Karl said. "Therewas an inner spirit. We're amuch more smart, mentallytough team than you look atlast year and what we arenow. It's a great win."Carmelo Anthony scored

34 points, Billups had 27points and Linas Kleizaadded 16 for the Nuggets.Nene finished with sixpoints, nine rebounds andsix assists."To get one on the road is

always tough. We came inand got it," Anthony said."We're mentally tough andwe showed that in this gamecoming off the loss that wegave away in Game 1."Anthony twisted his ankle

in the game, but he said hewould be fine for Game 3Saturday in Denver.Kobe Bryant had 32

points, including making all10 of his free throws, TrevorAriza scored a career play-off-high 20 points and Pau

Gasol had 17 points and 17rebounds for the Lakers,who dropped to 7-2 atStaples Center this postsea-son."They have home court

advantage now. Now it'stime to go to Denver, see ifwe can do the same," Bryantsaid. "We're not the bestroad team in the NBA for noreason."The Nuggets recovered

from poor free throw shoot-ing in a two-point loss inGame 1 to make 17 consec-utive foul shots until Billupsmissed one with 4 secondsremaining. He made the sec-ond for the three-point lead."I want to kill Chauncey

for missing that free throw,"Karl said.Derek Fisher launched a

3-pointer from the right cor-ner that Nene got a piece ofas time expired."Nene had a great con-

test," Billups said. "I don'tthink Fisher got a goodchance to get a good look onthe shot. Nonetheless, I wasdown there trying torebound and trying to getmy hands on the ball again,try to get back on that freethrow line."Fisher thought he did get

a good look."I figured they were going

to try to foul to prevent usfrom shooting a 3," he said."I got rid of it a little quick-er than I probably had to.Definitely don't want to putyourself in a position whereyou need that kind of shot totry and tie the game."Tied at 101, Martin made

the layup off Nene's assistthat gave the Nuggets thelead for good.Bryant dribbled upcourt

and got into traffic, withNene tipping the ball away

to earn a jump ball with 18seconds left. Gasol con-trolled the tip to Ariza, butthe ball squirted away andFisher fouled Billups. Hemade both for a 105-101lead."Looked to me like

Anthony pushed on Trevorand Trevor tried to get rid ofthe ball, and no foul wascalled and they recoveredthe basketball," Lakerscoach Phil Jackson said.Martin then fouled Gasol,

who made both beforeBillups got fouled.The Lakers were shaky on

free throws in the fourth,making 9 of 14, whileDenver didn't blink at theline. The Nuggets were 29of 37, with Billups hitting 13of 16 and Anthony 10 of 14.Kleiza's 3-pointer early in

the fourth quarter gave theNuggets an 85-82 lead, theirfirst since the game's open-ing minutes. Billups fol-lowed with two free throwsand Anthony hit two straightbaskets to extend Denver'slead to 91-84.Bryant missed a jumper,

but he came up big on theLakers' next possession, hit-ting a 3-pointer withAnthony's hand in his face.Shannon Brown tossed in a3 and Lamar Odom madetwo free throws as part of an11-2 run that put the Lakersback in front 95-93.Denver regained the lead

before Bryant's 3-pointer,again with Anthony guard-ing closely, tied the game at99 with 1:59 remaining.Billups made two freethrows before Bryant'sjumper tied it at 101.The Lakers led by 14

early in the second quarter.Anthony began a run of 14consecutive points for theNuggets to get them to 51-40. They outscored theLakers 14-2 to get within55-54 at halftime.

“Thunder in the Valley” Saturday (May 16) din-ner and Tuesday (May 19) golf outing. TheMingo Athletic Delegation 4 Marshall Universityhas been a long-time Big Green Chapter.“It’s amazing,” said Big Green Executive

Director John Sutherland, “how theMarshall family in Mingo County hascome through for the Herd year after year.Don Blankenship, David Akers, RalphHagy and Rod Smith have put together ateam that has done so much for our student

athletes at Marshall and we are so grate-ful.”The Saturday dinner and auction at the

CINCINNATI (AP) -Four homers. Twelve runs.The NL's highest-scoringoffense took full advantageof the friendly dimensions atGreat American Ball Park,then set off to see what it cando in the AL's newestlaunching pad.How will the Philadelphia

Phillies take to the newYankee Stadium?"It's a new, expensive ball-

park," said Chase Utley, who drove in four runsduring a 12-5 victory Thursday over theCincinnati Reds. "It's a great place to hit, so I'mexcited to get started there."The defending World Series champions are

up-and-running on offense as they head intotheir first interleague series. The pitching?That's another matter. As they have for muchof the season, the Phillies spent the day over-coming another subpar start with superb hit-ting.Utley had a two-run single and a double off

Micah Owings (3-5), who got nine outs andshowed the strain of throwing a lot of inningslately. Utley also had one of the Phillies' foursolo homers — Greg Dobbs, Ryan Howardand Raul Ibanez connected, as well.Jimmy Rollins had four hits, scored twice

and drove in a run. The top three hitters in theorder — Rollins, Utley and Raul Ibanez —went 9-for-15, scored five runs and drove ineight."We couldn't keep Jimmy Rollins off the

bases, and Utley and their big boys hit theball out of the ballpark," Reds manager DustyBaker said. "You knew they were going toerupt, and they erupted today. Everybodyknows they can hit."That's not the problem.Joe Blanton (2-3) got the win despite let-

ting most of a six-run lead slip away. Theright-hander gave up five runs in five innings,including a three-run homer by BrandonPhillips that forced the Phillies to use theirbullpen early.Philadelphia's starting rotation has a 6.31

ERA that's worst in the majors and has givenup 46 homers, the most in the majors. ThePhillies have spent the first two months of theseason trying to outscore their opponents.For the most part, they've pulled it off. The

Phillies havewon six of theirlast sevengames, all onthe road, as theyget set to visitthe Yankees'new place."Going into

New York wasalways some-thing specialbecause the oldYankee Stadium had a real feel to it," manag-er Charlie Manuel said. "I'm sure this one isgoing to have a good feel because of the waythey built it. They are hitting a lot of homeruns there. Hopefully we can tee off onsome."The Reds, who host Cleveland in their

annual interstate series starting Friday, havedropped five of six while watching their start-ing staff take a few hits. Edinson Volquez hadto leave a game Saturday in San Diegobecause of back spasms that landed him onthe disabled list. That game turned into a 16-inning loss, with Owings coming in on threedays of rest to throw 5 2-3 innings.Owings looked tired on Thursday. He

needed 71 pitches to get through three roughinnings, leaving with a 5-0 deficit. Utley'ssolo homer off Ramon Ramirez made it 6-0in the fourth."Micah didn't have his best stuff, and you

knew he wasn't going very long because hepitched six innings the other day," Baker said.Utley added a sacrifice fly in the sixth that

blunted the Reds' comeback. Howard led offthe seventh inning with his fourth homer inthe last seven games, and the Phillies scoredthree more in the inning, pulling away.

Cincinnati 1B Joey Votto hasear infection

CINCINNATI (AP) -Reds first baseman JoeyVotto has an ear infectionthat should clear up in a fewdays with medication, doc-tors concluded on Thursday.Votto had a series of tests

in two cities after he gotdizzy spells during a WestCoast trip last week. Doctorsthink the infection in his leftear is linked to a case of the

flu he had earlier in themonth. Flights to Arizonaand San Diego last weekaggravated the ailment."That's probably what

brought on the symptoms,"trainer Mark Mann said. "Inthe last four days, Joey's feltmuch better. He hasn't hadany more symptoms since hegot back to Cincinnati."The diagnosis was a relief

for Votto, who worried thatthe dizziness was caused bysomething more severe."After all the tests I went

through, it's been pretty scarythe past few days," Votto saidfollowing a 12-5 loss toPhiladelphia on Thursday.Manager Dusty Baker

plans to give Votto time towork out before he puts himin the lineup.

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODYAP Music Writer

NEW YORK (AP) –Green Day has the most pop-ular CD in the country, butyou won’t be able to find it atyour local Wal-Mart.The band says the giant

superstore chain refused tostock its latest CD, “21stCentury Breakdown,”because Wal-Mart wanted thealbum edited for languageand content, and theyrefused.“Wal-Mart’s become the

biggest retail outlet in thecountry, but they won’t carryour record because theywanted us to censor it,” front-man Billie Joe Armstrongsaid in a recent interview.While Wal-Mart sells CDs

from acts known for raunchycontent, including Eminem’slatest, they offer customersthe “clean” version of thoseCDs, which are edited forcontent that may be objec-tionable. But in Armstrong’sview, “There’s nothing dirtyabout our record.”“They want artists to cen-

sor their records in order tobe carried in there,” he said.

“We just said no. We’venever done it before. You feellike you’re in 1953 or some-thing.”“21st Century

Breakdown” contains cursesand some references consid-ered adult.Wal-Mart said that it’s the

company’s long-standingpolicy not to stock any CDwith a parental advisorysticker.“As with all music, it is up

to the artist or label to decideif they want to market differ-ent variations of an album tosell, including a version thatwould remove a PA rating,”Wal-Mart spokeswomanMelissa O’Brien said. “Thelabel and artist in this casehave decided not to do so, sowe unfortunately can notoffer the CD.”But guitarist Mike Dirnt

said: “As the biggest recordstore in the America, theyshould probably have anobligation to sell people thecorrect art.”Not being sold at Wal-Mart

didn’t stop the band — whichkicks off a U.S. tour summertour in Seattle on July 3 —from landing at the top of the

album charts this week. “21stCentury Breakdown” soldabout 215,000 copies sinceit’s debut on Friday.The album is the follow-up

to their multiplatinum,Grammy-winning CD“American Idiot,” and likethat album, deals withweighty topics. While“American Idiot” spoke tothe frustration over the presi-dency of George W. Bushand the Iraq War, this CDspeaks to the loss of inno-

cence and confusion intoday’s society.While Armstrong, Dirnt

and drummer Tre Cool arestill top-sellers without Wal-Mart, Armstrong said thestore’s policy is disappoint-ing, considering it hasbecome the dominant sellerof CDs with the decline oftraditional music stores.“If you think about bands

that are struggling or smallerthan Green Day ... to thinkthat to get record your out in

places like that, but theywon’t carry it because of thecontent and you have to cen-sor yourself,” he said. “I

mean, what does that say to ayoung kid whose trying to

DEAR ABBY: Mymother is 66 and has hadtwo major epilepticseizures. The incidentsoccurred in the middle ofthe night, and each timeshe was unconscious for along time (45 minutes ormore) and was taken to theemergency room by ambu-lance. She also has“minor” seizures that lastonly 30 to 60 seconds. Ihave seen them.Her doctor has told her

not to drive and that it’sagainst the law in our statefor her to drive until shehas been seizure-free forsix months. The problemis, Mom and her husbandbelieve she can drive safe-ly. She even bought a newcar so she can get “bettergas mileage.”I have offered to take

Mom to doctors and otherappointments, etc. Sheallows me to, but still dri-ves herself to the grocery

store and hairdresser andother places because theyare “close by.” (Not!)Abby, I lost a brother in

a car accident. I don’t wantto lose my mother in one,too. I’m also afraid for thesafety of pedestrians andother drivers in her path.What can I do or say to getMom to follow the doc-tor’s orders? --WORRIED IN THE

WEST

DEAR WORRIED:Nothing. Because yourmother refuses to use com-mon sense or listen to rea-son, accept that talking toher is like talking to awall. A person doesn’t have to

have a major seizure tocause an accident. A black-out lasting a few secondscan cause a driver to losecontrol of a vehicle.If your mother’s physi-

cian isn’t aware that shehasn’t been complyingwith his or her instruc-tions, let the doctor know.Write a letter explainingthat you have seen herhaving minor seizures andthat she’s still driving.

Urge him (or her) to notifythe Department of MotorVehicles, and you shoulddo the same. The moretime that goes by withoutthis being dealt with, thegreater the chances yourmother could kill herselfor kill or maim an innocentperson who happens tocross her path at the wrongtime.

DEAR ABBY: I am 14years old and aware ofwhat is going on in theworld around me. My par-ents have owned a suc-cessful company for years,but with the economy in itscurrent state, our family ishaving a tough time. Welive a luxurious life and Iam very blessed, but wehave begun to give thingsup. I am fine with that.My parents have

changed. If I ask howthings are, they get mad atme. If I tell them I don’tneed something, such as apresent for my birthday,they ask me why and I tellthem, “I know we don’thave money to spend rightnow.” Then they say, “Wehave money, but it’s in the

bank and is only for emer-gencies such as an illness.”How can I convince my

parents that it is OK to tellme what is going on, andthat we should go throughit as a family? -- TEEN INCALIFORNIA

DEAR TEEN: It is theinstinct of every parent toprotect his or her child.That may be what yourparents are trying to dowhen you raise the sensi-tive subjects of “howthings are” and birthdaygifts. What they may notrealize is that you are nolonger a child, and thequestions and statementsyou are making are areflection of your anxiety. As stressful as the cur-

rent economic environ-ment may be, fear of theunknown can be evenworse. By telling you theyare not out of funds butbeing careful about howthey will be spent, yourparents have already takenthe first step in letting youknow what’s going on, butnow they need to fill inmore of the blanks. Pleasetell them that that’s what I

Green Day lashes out at Wal-Mart policy


PIKEVILLE, Ky. — AtTuesday’s meeting, thePike County Fiscal Courthad a first reading of anordinance that would cre-ate a preference in award-ing contracts to contractorswho agree to employ aminimum of 75 percent oftheir staff locally, and whoagree to purchase a mini-mum of 75 percent of theirmaterials locally. The ordinance defines a

“local” employee as anemployee who resides inPike County and a “local”material as a material pur-chased in Pike County. “This ordinance will

allow us to stimulate PikeCounty’s economy our-selves, without help fromthe federal or state govern-ment. Our county, like therest of the country, is expe-riencing a time of econom-ic hardship, and the FiscalCourt’s passing of an ordi-nance that creates a prefer-

ence for local businessesand local citizens is notjust logical, it’s neces-sary,” said Pike CountyJudge/Executive WayneJudge Rutherford said he

expects the ordinance topass the Fiscal Court unan-imously when it is given asecond reading during thenext scheduled FiscalCourt meeting, on June 2. According to the ordi-

nance, a contractor mustprovide compliance withthe 75 percent local-hire

requirement and localmaterial requirement in theform that is verifiable bythe County prior to signinga contract with the Countyor the issuance of a noticeto begin. In the event thatbids are identical to orwithin 5 percent of eachother, the contractor withthe highest percentage oflocal employees shall beawarded the bid or propos-al. The ordinance notes that

the local-hire preference isonly one factor to be usedin the bid evaluationprocess. Bids can still besubmitted by contractorswho do not comply withthe requirement, but thosecontractors will notreceive a preference in theevaluation process.
