Monte Seth Carmical, of Coldiron, filed a complaint against Home Federal Bank, Morgandi and Anthony Saragas on Jan. 21 2010. The complaint alleged breach of fiduciary duty, breach of good faith and fair dealing, interfer- ence with prospective contractual and business relation and opportunity. Home Federal Bank faced an additional accusation of bank negligence. According to court docu- ments, Carmical attempted to secure a loan through Home Federal Bank for the purchase of Sunshine Storage, a storage unit business located on U.S. 421 in Harlan. Saragas was an employee of Home Federal Bank at the time, and was in charge of Carmical’s loan applica- tion. The complaint also states that during the course of attempting to secure the loan, Carmical “disclosed confidential financial infor- mation to Home Federal Bank, and its employ- ees and in particular to Saragas, concerning the purchase of the Sunshine Storage property.” After two days of tes- timony, Judge James Bowling granted motions for directed verdicts on Tuesday, which released Home Federal Bank from any liability in the matter and cleared the bank of any wrongdoing. With Home Federal Bank no longer involved, the remaining parties pre- sented closing arguments Thursday. Susan Lawson, attorney for Antony Saragas and Morgandi, reminded the jury it was the plaintiff that had to prove its case. “The plaintiff bears the burden of proof,” said Lawson. “If he doesn’t swing the scales of justice to his side, then he loses.” Lawson also cast doubt on Carmical’s hon- esty, arguing that his tax returns showed significant differences in actual assets and what was reported in the loan application. According to Lawson, this showed “a pattern of not being truthful.” Lawson called into ques- tion Carmical’s under- standing of the business process. “It’s obvious he doesn’t have a good understand- ing of finance or business,” said Lawson. Carmical’s attorney Darrell Saunders argued that his client was treated unfairly by Saragas. “What really happened Fire damages Harlan building Emergency crews responded to a building fire at 305 E.

FRANKFORT (AP) — Kentucky has released county-level unemployment rates that show wide-spread improvement in July.
The Office of Employment and Training reported Thursday that jobless rates improved in 97 counties. Rates worsened in 18 others and were unchanged in five.

FDA names farm tied to salmonella in melons
OWENSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A farmer whose cantaloupes have been linked to a deadly salmonella outbreak says he voluntarily ceased production and has had no other problems at his southern Indiana farm since it began operating in 1982.
Tim Chamberlain says Chamberlain Farms in Owensville stopped producing and distribut-ing melons on Aug. 16 when the Food and Drug Administration alerted him to a possible health risk. At least two people have died in the outbreak.
Chamberlain says he doesn’t know the cause of the outbreak and that the farm is awaiting instruc-tion from government agencies on what to do next. Owensville is about 20 miles north of Evansville.
FDA spokeswoman Shelly Burgess says Chamberlain Farms is not necessarily the sole source of the outbreak, saying an investigation is under way.
Claims settled over radioactive waste disposal
LOUISVILLE (AP) — The federal government and a U.S. Department of Energy contractor have reached a $230,000 settlement over allegations that the company improperly handled and disposed of radioactive waste from a nuclear reprocessing plant in western Kentucky.
The settlement, unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Paducah, does not require Bechtel Jacobs to admit fault and clears them of liability related to the improper disposals from 1998 through 2004.
The settlement ends a 10-year legal battle started two former employees at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant on behalf of the federal government. The employees sued in 2002, claiming Bechtel Jacobs mishandled waste from the plant over a six year period.
The plant produces enriched uranium for use at nuclear power plants.
Fla. teen charged after police chase in Ky.LONDON (AP) — An 18-year-old from Florida
has been arrested after Kentucky State Police say he ran from troopers who wanted to question him about a runaway girl.
Troopers on Wednesday charged Dustin Simmons of Westville, Fla., with wanton endangerment 1st degree, fleeing or evading police, unlawful transac-tion with a minor, and resisting arrest. Simmons was lodged in the Laurel County Detention Center on Thursday. Jail records did not list an attorney.

BENHAMFrom Page 1
the council voted not to sell the system to KU we really tightened up. We paid them in full and have made on time payments for the last 12 months. We even have a $10,000 credit with them.”
Quillen explained KU seeks to end the current contract Benham has as part of KUMA (Kentucky Utilities Municipality Association).
“Basically what it is, there’s something like 12 other cities within the state of Kentucky that own their own power system,” said Quillien. “The contract that we signed with KU, one of the stipulations in it is that if we ever fell behind we would have to come up
with a surety bond. KU is wanting us to come up with $144,000. We’re barely pay-ing our bills now and keep-ing everything up, that’s just impossible to come up with.”
Quillen explained that if KU wins the lawsuit “it’s not like everybody’s going to wake up one morning and all the lights are out.”
“It’s not anything to that extent,” said Quillen. “We will have a reason-able amount of time to find another supplier. The problem with that is, if KU wins this and we have to go find another supplier, then Benham will be out there on our own.”
If KU wins the lawsuit, a
rate hike is likely explained Quillen.
“When you put all those cities together then we have enough clout where we can negotiate a cheaper rate for the people. But if we’re out there on our own and we’re separated from them we have to come up with anoth-er contract. That’s going to be hard. Chances are if KU wins your probably looking at everybody’s electric bill going up 20 percent,” said Quillen.
Statewide Media Relations Manager for Kentucky Utilities Cliff Felthem verified there is a lawsuit in process, but could not comment on the state of the negotiations at
this time.“KU went to FERC ask-
ing to terminate its con-tract for providing whole-sale power to the Benham Power Board. In the pro-cess, Benham eventually paid its past due bills, but also in that process FERC ruled that KU can termi-nate the contract subject to a settlement between the two parties. So that’s what’s going on now is dis-cussions about settlements between the two parties,” said Feltham.
Benham Mayor John Dodd could not be reached for comment.
accomplish a great number of things while working in his position.
“I’m determined to make the city and my fam-ily proud,” said Clogston. “I will serve you well and try to make the city a better place to live. I really want to work with our children and help them. I want to try to prevent them from becoming our next crimi-nals. There are some great people who live in this city of ours. I think as police officers we need to show
our support for our children, talking to them – spending time with them — being a positive influence on them and hopefully changing their lives.”
Councilman Ernie Woodard told Clogston he spoke for the entire coun-cil and they were all “very proud” to have him on board in the city’s police department.
Along with volunteering for extra duties, Clogston is also working on obtain-ing grants for surplus equip-
ment for his department. Blas said Clogston has reor-ganized the police depart-ment office space making it more efficient.
Blas also reported to council members windows had been broken out at the old Evarts High School. He said he is looking into the matter. He also reported his department received 121 complaints during the month of July. They had two drug related arrests, two DUI arrests, one theft related arrest, 24 traffic
violations, 10 juvenile inci-dents, six domestic violence calls, six parking tickets and seven other arrests. Blas said his department assisted the Harlan County Sheriff’s Office on 20 different occa-sions, the Kentucky State Police on three occasions and emergency manage-ment services on four occa-sions during the month of July.
here is simple,” said Saunders. “Saragas winds up with the property.”
According to Saunders, inconsistencies in the loan file shows Carmical was treated unfairly.
“If Seth (Carmical) had withdrawn the loan as they would have you believe, why would he be in Middlesboro talking to Saragas’s higher ups about it?” asked Saunders.
Saunders also argued that Morgandi, the compa-ny formed by Saragas with partner Mike Anderson, was formed solely for the purpose of purchasing the
Sunshine Storage prop-erty, and that Saragas “stonewalled” the loan so Morgandi could purchase the property instead of Carmical.
“There is fair and unfair in life,” said Saunders to the jury. “There is right and there is wrong. Only you can right this wrong.”
After a little over two hours of deliberation, the jury returned a judgement for the plaintiff in the amount of $620,000.

Misfortunes of devout Christian athletesDid I remember the
America, my associate wanted to know, when being a devout Christian and a virgin were good things?
I told him I did, but it was so long ago that the memory was starting to get a little hazy.
I can’t identify my associ-ate any further. All I can say is that he’s a devout Christian himself, with views that tend to be on the conservative side. In an incurably blue state like Maryland, that might be enough to get him fired from his job.
And he needs his job.We were discussing Lolo
Jones, the American 100-meter hurdle track star who finished fourth in her event at the recently con-cluded Olympic games.
Jones is 30 years old. She’s also a devout Christian. And a virgin.
Those last two things are more than some people can handle. Decades ago, before America began mer-rily skipping down the path that led to Whoopee Nation, Jones would have been perceived as a normal, well-adjusted American woman.
These days she’s regarded as something of a freak. When I learned that she was a virgin and a Christian, I knew the media attack dogs would emerge from somewhere.
As it turns out, the attack
dog emerged just where I might have suspected: from the ultra-liberal New York Times. Sports reporter Jere Longman, it seems, couldn’t wait to sink his fangs into Jones.
And he did it in the most disingenuous, despicable manner. He pretended to tackle the issue of women athletes being viewed as sex objects, but his real issue was Jones, her reli-gious devotion and her vir-ginity.
Jones had little chance of winning a medal in her event, Longman opined, as if the woman hadn’t legitimately earned her spot on the American team. (She did.) According to Longman, Jones has received far greater publici-ty than any other American track and field athlete competing in the London Games.”
Said publicity, in
Longman’s view, “was based not on achievement but on her exotic beauty and on a sad and cyni-cal marketing campaign. Essentially, Jones has decided she will be what-ever anyone wants her to be — vixen, virgin, victim — to draw attention to herself and the many prod-ucts she endorses….(S)he has played into the per-sistent, demeaning notion that women are worthy as athletes only if they have sex appeal.”
In going for the allit-erative attack on Jones, Longman just couldn’t quite leave it at “vixen” and “victim.” He had to stick “virgin” in there, as if that were a bad thing. But Longman showed his true colors — and agenda — in one succinct paragraph.
“In 2009,” Longman wrote, “Jones posed nude for ESPN the Magazine. This year, she appeared on the cover of Outside magazine seeming to wear a bathing suit made of noth-ing but strategically placed ribbon. At the same time, she has proclaimed herself to be a 30-year-old virgin and a Christian. And oh, by the way, a big fan of Tim Tebow.”
Tebow is a quarterback for the New York Jets. Last year, he was the quar-terback for the Denver Broncos. He led his team to the playoffs and a vic-tory over the Pittsburgh
Steelers.After he scored a touch-
down, Tebow had no prob-lem in bending on one knee and offering a prayer. He’s also a devout Christian, and there are many people that despise him for precisely that reason.
Longman, with his line “and oh, by the way, a big fan of Tim Tebow,” showed the sneering contempt in which he holds Tebow, Jones and other devout Christians.
It’s one thing to dislike people for being devout Christians, but in today’s American we’re witness-ing something much more than that. We’re seeing nastiness toward devout Christians that we simply haven’t seen before.
Some sports fans that read Longman’s column thought it was too “harsh,” and said as much to Art Brisbane, the public editor for the New York Times. Brisbane agreed with the readers. Longman’s column was, indeed, “too harsh.”
But “harsh” isn’t the word. Longman was just downright nasty. So-called “comedian” Bill Maher’s attacks on Tebow because of his religious devotion haven’t been harsh. They’ve been nasty.
A country where devout Christians are routinely treated in a nasty manner is a country that, down the road, is heading for big trouble.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Another legislative task force is taking another look at state pension systems, which collectively have an unfund-ed liability of $20 billion-plus. No doubt, the discussion will play out along the same lines as previous studies:
Republicans, who control the state Senate, will say a switch from the current “defined benefits” plan to a “defined contributions” approach similar to the 401(k) plans popular in the private sector is the only fix for a broken system.
Democrats, who control the House of Representatives and are more closely aligned with public employee orga-nizations, will argue that the fix can be made without abandoning defined benefits.
Barring some sea change in the General Assembly’s political balance of power, the task force ultimately will have to find some middle ground if any progress is to be made at all. We’ll leave that discussion until later because there is one pension issue on which both sides should agree, and it isn’t even on the task force’s horizon at the moment.
Simply put, Kentucky’s pension systems should be as transparent as the rest of state government. But they’re not.
At the most basic level, the lack of transparency keeps the public from knowing what level of pension benefits retirees are collecting from the six state pension systems. Before these folks retired, their salaries were a matter of public record. Why should the level of their pension ben-efits be different?
Public dollars, in the form of contributions from their government employers and their own contributions from their government salary, formed the foundation for their pensions. There’s no rational explanation for exempting the pension benefits built on this foundation from being subject to the Open Records Act, but they are. …
The legislative task force studying state pensions meets monthly for the rest of the year. Surely, it can find time to take up the issue of letting some sunshine in on pension benefits and the workings of the various state retirement systems. It’s long overdue.

Pension fix is long overdue
Election 2012: Dreams of a vote deferred?Yes, 1929 was the year
of the stock-market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression, the global economic disaster which remains the only one in history that dwarfs the one in which we now find ourselves. It was also the year Martin Luther King Jr. was born, who wouldn’t live to see 40 years. And it was the year that Langston Hughes graduated from Lincoln University, outside Philadelphia.
The grandson of aboli-tionists and voting-rights activists, Hughes was an African-American writer. His most famous poem, “A Dream Deferred,” begins:
“What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry uplike a raisin in the sun?Or fester like a sore —And then run?”Hughes left Lincoln
University, one of the 105 historically black colleges and universities in the U.S., and spent the rest of his life campaigning for civil and human rights.
He died in 1967, two years after President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law.
Almost 80 years after his graduation, Lincoln students eagerly awaited the opportunity to cast their vote, many no doubt for Barack Obama, the first major-party African-American presidential can-didate.
For years, the Chester County Board of Elections and Department of Voter Services had accommo-dated the students and
community by establishing a convenient polling place on campus, in the gymna-sium. In 2008, however, it was moved to a community center, described by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania as “more than a mile from the Lincoln University campus on a winding country road and is virtually inaccessible for students without a car.” Many waited up to seven hours, at times in the rain, to vote. Some who wanted to vote never got to.
The ACLU and several other groups sued on behalf of students and community members, alleging “incon-venient and inadequate poll-ing facilities.” The Board of Elections settled, and the polling will occur again on campus.
The county bureaucrat who engineered the 2008 voting debacle, Carol Aichele, no longer has that job. Not because she was fired, though.
P e n n s y l v a n i a ’ s Republican governor, Tom
Corbett, appointed her to serve as the secretary of the commonwealth. She now oversees all elections in the state of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania has long been considered a swing state, even though it has gone to the Democratic presidential candidate in every election since 1992.
Following the 2010 Republican sweep, giv-ing the GOP control over many state legislatures and governorships, the nation has seen a wave of new laws that make it harder to vote. In Pennsylvania, for example, there is a new law imposing strict require-ments that people show photo identification in order to vote.
While publicly touted as a law intended to inhibit voter impersonation at the polls, its real intent was explained in a rare moment of candor by Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, who, when going over a checklist of leg-islative accomplishments, bragged, “Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania: Done.”
New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice and others sued Pennsylvania to block the law, and were recently handed a defeat in state court. Nicole Austin-Hillery, director and coun-sel of the Brennan Center’s Washington, D.C., office, told me that “the state government stipulated that they have no evi-dence of in-person voter fraud ever having occurred
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, this court still says that it believes that it is OK for the state to implement a measure that is meant to protect the state against voter fraud. … It basi-cally ensures that many vot-ers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will have a very difficult, if not to impossible, time voting.” Estimates put the number of Pennsylvania voters who might be disenfranchised as more than 750,000.
It’s not just Pennsylvania. In Ohio, the Republican sec-retary of state, Jon Husted, has instructed the state’s 88 counties not to allow early voting on weekends, a voter enfranchisement strategy that has been popular with African-American and poor-er voters, who tend to vote Democratic. In Florida, Republican Gov. Rick Scott has prevailed against the U.S. Justice Department as he continues a controver-sial purge of the voter rolls. In Texas, a gun license is an acceptable form of ID, but student ID cards are not.
The Brennan Center is tracking laws recently passed or on the way in 25 states, including many key swing states, all of which will have the result of mak-ing it harder for people to vote.
Langston Hughes’ poem “A Dream Deferred” ends:
“Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over —
like a syrupy sweet?Maybe it just sagslike a heavy load.Or does it explode?”

European towns, houses, and institutions have been around for centuries. I am amazed when I watch some of the “house hunter” shows on television and hear the history of commu-nities and buildings where people live. Our nation is still very young, compara-tively speaking.
With that in mind, it is truly amazing for any insti-tution to celebrate a one hundred year anniversary in the United States. Right here in Harlan County, the Pine Mountain Settlement School will kick off a year-long Centennial Celebration for the school this weekend at the annual Fair Day.
Pine Mountain Settlement School is one of my most favorite plac-es in Kentucky — right up there with Hensley Settlement, Shaker Town and Cumberland Falls. I am always surprised at the number of people who say they have never been on the Pine Mountain Settlement School Campus, yet have lived their whole lives in Harlan County. The school and its rich heritage are one of our treasures.
From their own website: Pine Mountain Settlement School is located in the mountains of Appalachia in Southeastern Kentucky. It was an early source of education for the mountain youth of the area, offering a hands-on approach to edu-cation that continues to be a model for today’s schools.
The school’s programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of the com-
munity and region. Today’s programs include environ-mental education and basic educational support for stu-dents in local schools. The richness of Pine Mountain Settlement School’s campus and its history is a source for multiple other enrich-ment programs for the local community and beyond.
Community Fair Day is scheduled Saturday. A fea-tured event of this year’s Fair will be a set running demonstration to celebrate the rich history of folkdance at PMSS. Peter Rogers, son of the late Burton and Mary Rogers, will lead the demonstrations. Visitors are invited to participate in the dance performances at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the playground.
Exhibits of vegetables, flowers, crafts, etc. may be registered for judging in Laurel House from 9-11 a.m. Winners will be announced at noon. The categories are: Food Preservation (canned fruits/vegetables); Baked
There will be games, information & craft booths, cake walks and displays on the playground beginning at 9 a.m. PMSS will provide ham sandwiches, pizza and ice cream for sale. There will also be hamburgers, hot dogs and pig roast din-ners provided by Nolen’s Lodge.
There are other events planned over the months for the yearlong celebra-tion. One of the projects, which I am heading up, is a cookbook collection of heritage recipes. If anyone would like to contribute an old family recipe, a short story about the person who handed down the recipe, or old photos related to cook-ing or to the Pine Mountain Settlement School, please contact me.
Some of the other events that may be of interest are: The Pine Mountain Community & Community School Reunion is sched-uled for Sept. 1. A Fall Arts Weekend featuring Weaver’s Choice, Nature Photography, Drawing from Nature, From the Ground Up — The Art of Building Dry Stone Walls are on the calendar for
Oct.12-14. The Fall Color Weekend is the following weekend on Oct. 19-21. The traditional Nativity Play will take place Dec. 9.
Wildflower Weekend, which is an annual event, is scheduled for April 19-21, 2013 and the Black Mountain Weekend May 3-5, 2013. The culminat-ing event is planned as PMSS Centennial Birthday Celebration on Aug.31, 2013.
There may be additions or changes to the calendar during the next year. The best way to keep up is by visiting the Pine Mountain Settlement School website regularly. It is an excit-ing landmark year for the school.
There are certainly many reasons to celebrate the one hundred years that this school has served the people of Harlan, Kentucky and the surrounding area. The following history of the school is from the school’s website:
Pine Mountain Settlement School was founded in 1913 as a school for children in the common-wealth’s remote southeast-ern mountains and a social center for surrounding communities. The school was the dream of a local man, William Creech Sr., who was troubled by the area’s lack of educational opportunities, and the prevalence of social prob-lems and rampant disease. He donated land for the school and recruited two women, Katherine Pettit of Lexington, Kentucky, and Ethel DeLong, New Jersey native, to establish and run the new institution. These two women enlisted the help of architect Mary Rockwell Hook of Kansas City to draw up plans for the campus and its build-ings.
From 1913 to 1930, Pine Mountain served as a boarding school for elemen-tary and middle school age children. By 1930, many
communities had elementa-ry schools, but most did not offer educational opportuni-ties beyond eighth grade. Pine Mountain evolved into a boarding school for high school students.
The School stressed aca-demics, but also encour-aged students to develop their interests and talents in vocational and artis-tic fields. In 1949, Pine Mountain began a joint educational venture with the county school system to operate a community elementary school. The community school operated until the early 1970s, when Pine Mountain began to focus its work on environ-mental education.
Today, Pine Mountain provides instruction in environmental educa-tion, Appalachian culture, and crafts to students and adults.
The campus is located on 625 acres on the north side of Pine Mountain, the most imposing geologi-cal feature of the southern Appalachian Mountains. The wooded slopes of Pine Mountain’s property are home to an impressive number of plants and ani-mals, some of which are exclusive to the campus.
If you have never been to the Pine Mountain Settlement School Campus, do yourself a favor and attend at least one of the public festivities that will be offered this year, and in years to come as the school continues its long and suc-cessful history. You won’t be disappointed.
PMSS is one of Harlan County’s treasures

Partner wants open relationshipDear Dr. Brothers: I have
spent a lot of time think-ing about fidelity issues. My life partner and I have been together for 14 years. We love each other a lot, but neither of us can keep our sex life going without an occasional fling. We both know these things have hap-pened from time to time, but we don’t talk about it. It’s about variety, not “cheat-ing.” What do you think of me bringing all of this out of the closet and suggest-ing an open relationship? Or should I leave well enough alone? — F.B.
Dear F.B.: The issues of fidelity are fraught with peril, so I can see why you are tempted to leave well enough alone and not rock the boat: Your somewhat unique approach to domes-tic bliss has worked so far, so why rock the boat? If both of you are comfortable with having sex outside of your relationship, and you both want to continue pretending it doesn’t happen from time to time, everything probably will continue as usual. There is always the risk of one of you falling in love or at least becoming very distracted by a new partner, though. And you should both examine whether the lack of fidelity has been robbing the rela-tionship of trust and inti-macy.
The fact that you don’t talk about it might suggest that one or both of you is afraid that this arrangement can’t really stand the light of day. If you feel comfort-able enough to suggest an official open relationship to your partner, at least make sure you both can handle the change it will inevitably bring about. Your protection of each other’s feelings will be tested. On the plus side, research shows that open-relationship couples stand less chance of contracting sexually transmitted diseas-es than do traditional cheat-ers. You fall somewhere in the middle. Research about STDs doesn’t address
the risk of broken hearts, though, so take care.
* * *Dear Dr. Brothers: When
our second daughter went off to college, my husband asked me for a divorce. We were married for 23 years. He remarried, but I’m still in a state of shock after two years. I’d like to date and see what happens, but after many years of no intimacy, I feel like I would have to start over. How do you know if you’re ready to find some-one new? I’ve been out a few times, but I find that no one really wants to hear my story. I don’t know how to do this! — P.D.
Dear P.D.: It sounds as though you are pretty con-flicted about starting to date again. After many years away from the dating game, anyone would be intimi-dated. There are so many unknown challenges ahead — from meeting the right men to figuring out how to
become close to a stranger and forge a relationship. If you didn’t feel some trepida-tion, that would be unusual. The fact that you’ve already dipped a toe in the water and haven’t ventured any farther might mean that your interpersonal skills are a little rusty. One of the cardinal rules of first dates is not to do what you have been doing: telling your story. At least not in every sad, excruciating detail. Try to focus on your partner and draw him out instead. If you two click, you can reveal more later.
You may be comparing your situation with your ex-husband’s, who moved on a long time ago. That doesn’t mean you are at the same stage of readiness for a new relationship, even now. Describing yourself as still being in a state of shock tells me that you haven’t quite gotten over the dif-ficult parts of breaking up. Talking about it with any-
one you do meet says you are still ruminating about the past, even when your future is right in front of you. Don’t push yourself. When you’re really ready to go, you’ll be able to put your past behind you and focus on now.
ASK DR. BROTHERS
LEXINGTON (AP) — CoShik Williams relishes the thought of being the center of attention, espe-cially if takes his quarter-back off opponents’ defen-sive radar.
Williams hopes that’s the plan as he prepares to be the lead tailback for a Wildcats team needing a strong ground game after a 5-7 season. Besides estab-lishing ball control, it gives newly named sophomore Max Smith time to get comfortable in the pocket.
If last season offered any hints, Williams is up to the challenge. Thrust into action by injuries, he started the final five games and keyed Southeastern Conference wins over Ole Miss and Tennessee after breaking out against Jacksonville State with a career-high 148 yards on 22 carries.
Williams finished with 486 yards and three touch-downs in nine games, and a strong spring has solidified
his bid to be the primary ball carrier for Kentucky, which opens the season on Sept. 2 at Louisville.
“I expect to help carry the team and keep the guys motivated,” said Smith, 5-9 and 184 pounds. “A lot of young guys look up to me and listen to what I say, so I try to keep them moti-vated and keep Max moti-vated as well when he gets down. I’ll try to motivate myself as well.”
If starting was Williams’ incentive last season, lift-ing Kentucky’s rushing standing might provide this year’s boost. The Wildcats ranked 11th of 12 SEC teams at 124.2 yards per game (90th in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision)
and were third-worst per carry at 3.5 yards.
Williams is confi-dent those numbers will improve.
“We’ve grinded real hard this whole summer, so I feel we connected way more than we did the year before,” he said. “We’re ready to lock horns and get this train going.”
Facing another tall task in the nation’s toughest conference, Williams could be one of a half dozen play-ers expected to contribute.
Junior Raymond Sanders returns after knee injuries sidelined him last sea-son, and he has pushed Williams during practice. Sophomore Josh Clemons is recovering from knee injuries as well but could play a key role if healthy.
Senior Jonathan George (233 yards, two TDs in 2011) and freshmen Dyshawn Mobley and Justin Taylor might also get time.
But Williams clearly is
the offensive front-runner, raising hopes even more during last weekend’s scrimmage highlighted by a 14-play, 98-yard scoring drive. Wildcats coach Joker Phillips pointed out that they ran just two passing plays and that his senior established himself as capa-ble of handling the hits and carries.
“Our running game has a chance to be efficient for us,” Williams said. CoShik “deserves to be the start-er. The way he finished last spring (and) pound for pound, he’s probably the strongest guy on our football team and works as hard as anybody. Plus, his knowledge of our offense, it’s as good as anybody on our team.”
How many carries Williams could get remains to be seen. However, Phillips has seen enough this month to envision an increased load, especially since Williams is 10 pounds heavier.

Williamsburg hosts Dragons in playoff rematchJohn MiddletonSports Editor
The Harlan Green Dragons grabbed the attention of Class A teams from around the state with a dominant victory over Pikeville last weekend. The Green Dragons will now try to make an even bigger statement tonight against Williamsburg.
“It would be a big confi-dence boost. The kids know what kind of schedule they have in front of them, and this is one of several good teams on our schedule. We are just trying to get better every week, and this would
show a lot of improvement on our football team,” said Harlan coach J.B. Donahue.
Both the Dragons and the Yellow Jackets feature explosive offenses with playmakers at nearly every position. With the offenses practically mirroring one another, Donahue said the game will likely be decided by one factor.
“I think the turnover battle will play a big key. If you look at the two games last year, I think they turned it over to us about three times at Harlan and we won by two or three scores,” he said. “The
roles were reversed when we went down there in the playoffs. I think both teams have some good skill kids and are improved on the line of scrimmage, so I think turnovers will play a big factor in the game.”
Defensively, Harlan has the difficult task of contain-ing an offense that put up 68 points last week in a victory over Jellico, Tenn.
“I think (Dalton Sizemore) had six touch-down passes and we threw seven in the game, so we’re very pleased with our receivers. We did have five guys run routes
against four guys so it’s pretty much pitch and catch, but this week I look for Harlan to do a things little bit different. They won’t bring all of the rush. They’ll drop back in the zone and blitz in the right spots,” Williamsburg coach Jerry Herron told WYMT News. “Coach Donahue has always done a good job of trying to find our weakness in the blitz and trying to send someone to that area.”
Sizemore is a dual-threat for the Jackets at the quar-

Bears look to bounce back in LexingtonJohn MiddletonSports Editor
Last week’s loss to Morristown West put Harlan County at just 1-4 in season openers since the school opened. However, the Black Bears have fared much better from that point, going 4-0 the fol-lowing week and a combined 37-10 the rest of the season. The Black Bears will look to continue that trend Saturday as they take on Tates Creek in the Fayette County iHigh Football Frenzy.
“In five years we have lost four first games out of five. We always end up getting better and improv-ing, so I told them not to let that loss get them down,” said Harlan County coach Tom Larkey. “Our kids have been disciplined and focused in practice this week.”
The Bears experienced success offensively against Morristown West, with over 400 yards of total offense. However, the Tates Creek defense will pose a new challenge.
“Defensively, we are going to face a different type of team. They are so fast on defense, and really attack you,” Larkey said.
“We are hoping the offensive line can get their blocks, so we can get our running game going. Tates Creek will have a quicker defensive line than Morristown West. So, we have to get out of our stance a little quicker.”
Despite their lack of size, the Commodores must find a way to slow a Harlan County rushing attack led
by senior Jake Middleton.“On film, Harlan County
looks absolutely huge up front. I’m sure they are going to try to shove it down our throat and blow
us off the ball. We are going to have to do what we can to hold our own with them,” said Tates Creek coach Mike Harmon. “(Middleton) looks like a darn good football player, just like they look like a good football
team.”Tates Creek will likely
feature a balanced offense led by senior tailback Dennis Oxendine.
“They have a great tailback. He does it all,” Larkey said. “We are hop-ing to make some adjust-ments this week in practice and be a little more disci-plined. We failed to do that the other day, and it caused a couple of long runs. Our defense has to make reads, and every player has a responsibility. In the game, they have to get lined up right and play their reads.”
Tates Creek downed West Jessamine in week one, but went just 3-8 last season. However, that mark came in a difficult district in 6A, and the Commodores could be better than their record indicates.
“It is going to be a very difficult game. They have a very versatile football team with a lot of speed. We have our hands full that’s for sure,” Larkey said.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 and will allow fans to see all of the day’s games including Henry Clay vs Ryle at 6 p.m. and Paul Dunbar vs Eastern at 9 p.m.

The New Harlan Patriots improved to 2-0 with an impressive 48-0 victory over visiting Cumberland in seventh- and eighth-grade football action on Thursday.
“We have a lot of weap-ons this year. Offensively, we looked real sharp,” said New Harlan coach Chad Wood.”We aren’t close to where we need to be yet, but we are getting back on the right track.”

On the ensuing posses-sion, Scearse broke free for a 28-yard score with 5:44 remaining in the sec-ond quarter. Quarterback Jacob Branson went in on a quarterback keeper for the two-point conversion to make it 16-0.
Scearse scored his third touchdown on a 10-yard run with 1:09 left. Rhett Alred’s two-point conver-sion made it 24-0.
Tommy North closed the first-half scoring with an 8-yard run with just 28 seconds left. David Turner ran in the two-point con-version to push the lead to 32-0.
Caleb Carmichael opened the scoring in the second half with a 40-yard fumble return for a touch-down. Turner added the two-point run to make it 40-0. Christian Hall scored the game’s final touch-down on a 32-yard run. Peyton Dillman added the two-point conversion.

terback position, and has the ability to create plays with his legs when the pock-et breaks down.
“I think it all starts with their quarterback. He does a great job of running the ball and throwing the ball. They have a lot of great receivers, and their passing game is pretty hard to stop because they rely a lot on
timing,” Donahue said. “It is hard to get pressure on the quarterback, but you have to contain him and not let him run when he wants to. I thought our second-ary was very aggressive last week against the pass, and I want to continue to see progress.”
Williamsburg also fea-tures a solid line led by a
pair of 300-pound seniors in Jacob Jeffers and Dakota Loy.
“I think our defensive and offensive fronts have improved a great deal. I know Williamsburg has some talent up front, and they have improved a lot,” Donahue said.
(AP) — Add one more name to the star-studded list of SEC standouts side-lined by off-field issues: Tennessee wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers.
Rogers, a first-team all-Southeastern Conference receiver last year, was suspended indefinitely Thursday for a violation of team rules. Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said he doesn’t expect Rogers to rejoin the team this season,
though he didn’t completely rule out the possibility.
“When you get into the coaching profession, you quickly learn that probably the No. 1 professional haz-ard is the behavior of 18- to 22-year-olds,” Dooley said. “I can assure you guys this, that there’s not one player, there’s not really one mem-ber in the whole organiza-tion that we’re not prepared to go play without.”
Rogers, who had 67 catch-es for 1,040 yards and nine
touchdowns last season, is the latest high-profile SEC player to run into trouble.
Tyrann Mathieu, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season, was kicked off LSU’s team this month. Georgia dismissed running back Isaiah Crowell in June after his arrest on weapons charges. Former Auburn running back Michael Dyer transferred to Arkansas State after getting suspend-ed indefinitely before last season’s Chick-fil-A Bowl.

Today’s Answers
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 24, 2012:
This year you often will feel tense, as you have so much on your plate. You will demand a lot from yourself and want to deliver just that. Your fam-ily and home life evolve in importance. You might want to become more of a cynic in order to see people as they really are, rather than how you think they are. If you are single, you will increase the chances of forming a viable relationship by being more grounded. People will reveal their true essence if you stay alert. If you are attached, listen to what your partner says his or her intentions are, rather than just going off of your ideas of what they are. SAGITTARIUS is too strong of a personality for you.
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) HHH You might be somewhat both-
ered by a dream or premonition you have this morning. Though you typically are cynical of intuition, especially your own, you might try honoring it today. News or an invitation could be instru-mental to a new start. Why not go for it? Tonight: Wherever there is music.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Work with a partner or loved
one directly. You are far more powerful as a team than you are separately. You might want to resolve some confusion surrounding mixed messages. Move forward with a strong sense of direction. Tonight: Find a favorite person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone does not hesitate
to question your decisions, and oth-ers simply seem challenging. Tension builds as a result. A discussion with a respected authority figure centers you. You might want to find out how this person would handle certain situations. Tonight: Enjoy all the new faces around you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Focus on what you need to do
get done; avoid getting sidetracked by others. You can kick back when you finish. A late lunch could become an early dinner. Don’t worry — just enjoy it. Reach out for someone at a distance. Is it time for a mini-trip? Tonight: Join friends and/or associates.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your imagination adds to
the fever and enthusiasm surrounding a project, a special friend or an activity with a child. Where others trip up with confusion and miss an opportunity, you will not. In fact, you’ll create an exciting
adventure out of a boring happening. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Stay close to what is familiar
to you, as right now there could be a sense of confusion. You might want to rethink your communication style. Confirm appointments. Do not get upset about a partner’s or dear friend’s vagueness. Tonight: Home is where the heart is.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to repeat
yourself in several different ways to make your point or even just to be heard. You could be frustrated by someone’s ambiguity. Any attempts at communication could be difficult later today. Return calls and schedule meet-ings. Tonight: Go to a favorite spot.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Be aware of what some-
one has to offer. You have the same versatility, but a different set of skills. Together, you make quite a team. A loved one or child needs extra atten-tion. Detach, and look at the whole picture. Tonight: Be careful with your finances.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your actions make all the
difference in a domestic matter that goes from confusing and disappointing to very pleasing. Zero in on a long-term goal if you really want it to happen. You might be surprised at the results of one day. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH Take your time discerning what
is happening around you. Slow down and clarify facts — doing so might be more important than you realize. Ask questions to verify what you think. Tonight: Not to be found.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A meeting could go longer
than you intended. You might want to postpone it until the end of the day. Your finances could seem strange at first, whether it is because of an offer or difficulty realizing a momentary goal. Don’t worry; you will be able to clarify the situation. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Tension builds surrounding a
superior or a community and/or busi-ness situation. Your intentions might be well-meaning, but others do not receive your ideas clearly until you reiterate your reasoning several times. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

The many reasons to support technology in the classroomSpecial to the Enterprise
Technology has become an integral part of life, affecting how we commu-nicate, how we view our homes, how we conduct business and nearly every other aspect of our daily lives.
That includes how we learn, especially for today’s youngsters. The class-rooms of yesteryear are quickly becoming a thing of the past, as teachers are increasingly turning to technology to help students learn.
Whereas technology in the classroom once meant teaching basic computer software and fundamental computer skills, nowadays technology is being inte-grated in ways that supple-ment lesson plans regard-less of the subject matter. Students are utilizing tech-nology to tackle projects, which helps them get a more realistic grasp on how to handle projects outside of the classroom and in the professional arena.
Utilizing programs that professionals use better prepares students for life after they have earned their diplomas or degrees, mak-ing them more attractive to prospective employers and more capable once they are hired.
Another way technology in the classroom is ben-efitting today’s students is the wealth of resources that technology can provide. Classes connected to the Internet, for instance, give students access to the latest information about topics they’re studying. This can include up-to-date studies and theories from experts
in the field or, for current events students, instant access to what is going on in their community and beyond. Such accessibil-ity was unimaginable as recently as 15 years ago, but is quickly becoming commonplace, and benefit-ing students along the way.
Technology in the class-room can also help teach-ers. Students learn in their own ways, but teachers faced with growing class sizes and fewer resources often find it hard to connect with students who might not respond to the same teaching methods as their classmates.
Technology can provide teachers with another ave-nue by which to reach their students, helping to engage those students who might otherwise have been turned off or lacked the necessary initiative to excel in school.
Teachers may also find that technology in the class-room makes it easier to reach students.
That’s because kids tend to find technology fun, even if it’s part of the learning process. In a study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education that reported on the experi-ences of teachers and stu-dents in classrooms where technology was incorpo-rated, teachers responded that, in many instances, students chose to work on technology-based projects during recess or lunch.
As classrooms continue to change, the role of tech-nology figures to expand. That expanded role can benefit students and teach-ers alike in a variety of ways.
