NEWSIN BRIEF
STATESentencing delayed in sex case
RICHMOND (AP) — Sentencing for a formerschool secretary in Richmond on sex charges hasbeen postponed.
The 37-year-old former secretary at MadisonCentral High School, Lynda Chase, was to be sen-tenced on Thursday, but a sex-offender riskassessment wasn't complete, the LexingtonHerald-Leader reported.
Chase pleaded guilty in May to rape andsodomy charges involving a 15-year-old student.
In a plea deal, the commonwealth's attorney isrecommending a three-year sentence that wouldalso require Chase to register as a sex offenderand undergo counseling.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney JenniferSmith says without the assessment, Chase can'tbe sentenced.
Madison County Circuit Judge William Clouseset the new sentencing date for Aug. 25.

Utility District has liftedthe boil-water advisoryfor Number 2 Camp toYocum Creek Road in theKenvir/Dizney area.
instead they had a wetlandsarea. The big thing for me wasto get that out of where the kidsplay. The basic problem withseptic systems is that they aremeant to be temporary, not per-manent. We get into a lot oftrouble because the systemworks good for a while, then ittakes its path and ultimately tothe river,” said Howard.
Wetland areas are alsosomething that the project hasrun into at a few trailer parksin the area. Miller estimatedthat three wetlands and twofailing local treatment systemshave been done away with as aresult of the Rosspoint expan-sion.
The price tag for the region-al plant and the completed proj-ects totals approximately $15million, and that is not includ-ing money invested by theArmy Corps of Engineers. Cityrecords indicate that 976households have been connect-
ed so far. According to Miller, insome of the areas there is apotential to hook up more cus-tomers to the existing lines.
“All houses are not hookedon in communities such asCatrons Creek, because wewere not able to crawl underthe house and physically hookthem on. In projects that arefunded with federal money weare only allowed to draw thepipe to the property line,” saidMiller.
“We’re picking up peopleeveryday, but whether or notwe can do mandatory hookupshas an effect. Last time Ichecked, 63 percent of thehouseholds in Catrons Creekwere connected to the system,”said Howard.
As always, the issue of fund-ing has been looming large inthe past and it looks to becomean even bigger obstacle goingforward. As of now, the WallinsCreek expansion is the only bigsewer project the city has in thepipeline.
“Everybody is out for thesame money. Fortunately, wehave been able to keep on top of
funding sources and talk aboutnursing homes and schools,and then do individualhookups. You don’t get people’sattention with single familyhouseholds, but with some-thing critical such as schoolsyou will,” said Howard.
Some of the previous proj-ects have received funding fromthe federal efforts, such as thePRIDE program and cleanwater grants from theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency. But the political cli-mate in Washington haschanged recently. Howard stat-ed that he stays in regular con-tact with Congressman HalRogers.
“He knows that this hasbeen a wise use of their money,and he knows that I’m ready togo, if there is any funding avail-able. But of course, the dryingup of money has a big impact.At the same time with all thechallenges going on, the fiscalcourt has stepped up to theplate in the area of clean water.They’ve been forward-looking,”said Howard.

announcing last week that theKentucky Cabinet for Healthand Family Services was in thefinal stages of reviewing poten-tial contracts.
Beshear unveiled three com-panies that will overseeMedicaid services to about560,000 people across most ofthe state — Coventry HealthCare of Maryland, WellCareHealth Plans of Illinois andCentene Corp. of St. Louis. Allthree will open offices inKentucky, creating more than500 jobs in the state.
Passport Health Plan, whichalready had a contract withKentucky, will continue to serveabout 170,000 Medicaid recipi-ents in the Louisville area.
Balancing the Medicaid budg-et, which had a shortfall of about$139 million, had triggered con-tentious debate in Kentucky.Beshear, who is running for re-election this year, had arguedthat managed care contracts
could erase the imbalance. HisRepublican gubernatorial oppo-nent, Senate President DavidWilliams, wanted cuts to all gov-ernment programs to shiftmoney to Medicaid.
Beshear boasted Thursdaythat the savings projected underhis plan shows it was the betteroption.
"You can use a meat axe andrush in and blindly chop andslash, but then you wreck pro-grams and services, hurting thepeople who rely on those pro-grams and services," Beshearsaid. "Or, you can use a surgicalknife to strategically cut waste,protect what's essential and,with the help of innovativeideas, create a fundamentallymore efficient structure thatpays off for years to come."
Williams called Beshear'ssavings estimates "optimistic"and questioned whether he couldachieve them.
"Once again, the governor'shistory of playing fast and loosewith budget numbers is on dis-play," Williams said in a state-ment.

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Friday, July 8, 2011
Here’s my problemwith lawyers: they passthe little thing called thebar exam, and then theythink they’re smarterthan the rest of us. Somuch so that they insultour intelligence.
And yes, I’m talkingspecifically about you,Jose Baez.
Baez is the attorney forCasey Anthony, who justmight end up being theposter woman for badmotherhood. Three yearsago Anthony’s daughterCaylee Anthony wentmissing. Mom doesn’timmediately reportCaylee missing.
Instead, mom does alittle partying and gets atattoo that reads “beauti-ful life” in some foreignlanguage. Some 31 dayslater, something clicks inmom’s head, if we’re tobelieve Anthony andBaez.
“Oh, snap!” mom musthave said. “The kid’s beenmissing all this time.”
So 31 days later momcalls the cops. LittleCaylee’s remains arefound later. Prosecutorsin Orlando charge momwith murder. Mom wasacquitted of those chargesearlier this week. Baez isnow the most famousmouthpiece in the coun-
try, and he’s been on aninsult-the-public’s-intelli-gence rampage.
Where does he get thisstuff about CaseyAnthony being a “goodmom”? Have the stan-dards for what makes agood mother been ratch-eted down that badly?
Here’s what good mom-mies do: many years ago,when I was a wee ladgrowing up in Baltimore,Md., I ended up in thehospital with a bad case ofthe I-don’t-know-what. Ihad an IV attached to myleg, which was swollen.
My mom was con-vinced the IV was hookedup incorrectly and thatthe snafu was what wascausing my leg to swell.She alerted the nurses,who told her she didn’tknow what she was talk-ing about. Mom simplyundid the IV, bundled mein her arms and carriedme down the hallwaytoward the door.
“Miss, what are youdoing?” anxious nurses
asked her.“I’m taking my child
out of here,” sheanswered. They convincedher to return, re-hookedme to the IV and, lo andbehold, all was right withmy leg.
I couldn’t have gonemissing for 31 minutes,much less 31 days, with-out my mom putting in acall to Maryland’s gover-nor to send out theNational Guard and lookfor me. I’d wager 99.9 per-cent of mothers inAmerica would do thesame.
Casey Anthony didn’t.Baez, still clinging to thefantasies he spun in thecourtroom, says that hisclient’s partying, tattoo-ing and forgetting toreport her child missingwas part of how shegrieved. Little Cayleeaccidentally drowned inthe family pool, Baez con-tends, and GeorgeAnthony, Casey’s dad,helped dispose of thebody.
Apparently, being aterrible mom isn’t CaseyAnthony’s only fault.She’s a terrible daughtertoo. Baez’s defense — andit must have been donewith Casey Anthony’sacquiescence — was thatGeorge Anthony was an
accessory to the crime ofdisposing of a dead bodyand not reporting an acci-dental death to police. Forgood measure, Baezaccused George Anthonyof molesting CaseyAnthony as a child, whichwas the reason she liedrepeatedly to authorities.
Way to go, CaseyAnthony. Deuces up to ya.Try to save your neck bytossing dad under the busand backing it up three,four or five times.
The biggest losers inthis putrid mess — asidefrom little Caylee herself— would have to bedefense attorneys.
Baez admitted in courtthat his client was nearlya pathological liar. Thenhe asked the jurors — andthe rest of America — tobuy her claim that shedidn’t murder Caylee.When Walters asked Baezhow he knew Caylee acci-dentally drowned in thefamily pool, Baez invokedlawyer-client privilege.
I suspect if he had saidCasey Anthony told him,Baez dreaded what surelywould have been Waltersnext question:
“You admitted yourclient lied about every-thing else; why would youbelieve that?”
Every Kentuckianknows the crisis we face:The country is more than$14 trillion in debt. Theunemployment rate is overnine percent nationally,and nearly 10 percent inthe Commonwealth. Aneconomic calamity is on theh o r i z o n — u n l e s sWashington gets spendingunder control and createsan environment to grownew jobs, soon.
So naturally peopleacross Kentucky, fromPaducah to Pikeville, arelooking for answers. Willthe government finally getspending under control andrevive this economy, or willit be business as usual inWashington?
Unfortunately, theanswers coming fromPresident Obama and theliberals in Congress are thewrong ones. Shockingly, inthe face of crushing debtand deficits, a flailing econ-omy, and anemic jobgrowth, they want toincrease government
spending and raise taxes.Remarkably, in a time of
record deficits, WashingtonDemocrats have called formore stimulus spending,ignoring that if we couldspend our way into eco-nomic recovery we wouldsurely be in boom times bynow. And they have calledfor hundreds of billions ofdollars in higher taxes to bea part of any deal forCongress to raise the debtlimit.
The president recentlywent to a manufacturingplant to tout new jobs. Yeteven as he was speaking,his administrationunveiled a proposal to hitmanufacturing companieslike the one he was visitingwith billions of dollars in
new taxes.Actions like these just
aren’t serious. And theyshow that PresidentObama and WashingtonDemocrats still don’t get it.They’re just not listening toyou.
What they don’t under-stand is that there is a debtcrisis not becauseWashington taxes too little,but because it spends toomuch. And that voters didnot elect dozens of newRepublicans to Congresslast November becausethey want their taxesraised or governmentspending to go up.
For the government tokeep running up the creditcard and looking to the tax-payer to foot the bill isunacceptable. Republicanshave very different ideasabout how to solve theproblems we face.
I believe that it’s timefor Washington to take thehit — not Kentucky tax-payers. We need to enact aserious plan to dramatical-
ly reduce spending andfinally get our debt anddeficits under control.
That plan must includeentitlement reform,because entitlement reformis the key to real long-termspending reduction.
We should not raisetaxes, because that wouldhurt job growth and hinderthe economic recovery webadly need.
And we should pass abalanced budget amend-ment, so politicians willstop spending money theydon’t have and finally stoprunning up massive debt.
It’s time to get seriousand work together to passreal reforms like these thatwill actually cut spending,get our debt under controland help grow the econo-my. And it’s about timePresident Obama steppedforward and told theAmerican people what he’swilling to do to make surethat happens. He’s incharge — it’s time to seehim lead.

Of all the dangerous practices that coal operatorshave engaged in, it would be hard to imagine any moredespicable than keeping a false set of records on safe-ty conditions to mislead mining inspectors.
Yet, that is precisely what federal investigatorsallege that Massey Energy did in West Virginia at itsUpper Big Branch mine before a methane and coal-dust explosion killed 29 miners on April 5, 2010. Itwas the nation's deadliest mining accident since theHyden disaster in 1970 in Eastern Kentucky.
Kevin Stricklin, a Mine Safety and HealthAdministration official, said that workers told investi-gators that Massey kept two sets of safety books — anaccurate one for its own use and a sanitized version forgovernment inspectors. Stricklin showed side-by-sidecomparisons of records from the same shifts — an offi-cial book reporting few if any hazards, and internalrecords that indicated serious problems with faultymachinery, explosive methane levels and dangerousroof conditions. He pointed out that top managers hadto know what was happening because they wererequired to sign the safety inspection books. ...
The U.S. Justice Department must conduct a vigor-ous criminal investigation into the allegations involv-ing Massey and its officers. So far, one Massey employ-ee has been indicted — security chief Hughie Stoveron charges of lying to the FBI and MSHA and obstruc-tion of justice for destroying documents. Federal pros-ecutors have declined to comment on their continuingprobe, but if they have strong evidence that Masseyfailed to record or correct serious hazards, they shouldbring charges that carry lengthy prison sentences.
Meanwhile, the revelations about faked safety logsunderscore the importance of recent changes in MSHAinspection procedures — including taking steps tomake more surprise visits to mines. Obviously, to thatlist must be included thorough comparisons of whatmine safety records show and what inspectors actual-ly find. ...

Dear Dr. Brothers:After the last two rela-tionships I had endedwith no love lost betweenus, I have been doingsome thinking about thenature of romantic love. Iam beginning to wonderif what I think of as loveis different from what myboyfriends think it is. Imean, is saying "I loveyou" totally meaninglessto people? I never say itunless I really mean it,but when I mean it, Iexpect to be treated dif-ferently from just any-body out on a date. Theguys seem to just toss itout there.
A.T.
Dear A.T.: Love ishard to explain scien-tifically, butresearchers believethere is a subcon-scious element thatcan drive the urge toexpress our feelings toone another, and it’srelated to sex —specifically, whetherwe’ve had it or not.According to an arti-
cle in the Journal ofPersonality and SocialPsychology, while it iscommonly thoughtthat women usuallyare the first to use the"L" word, it actuallyoften is men who arethinking about it forweeks in advance andare more likely to say"I love you" first. Theresearch points to thetiming of sex as mak-ing a difference in themotivation and mean-ing of using love lan-guage for men andwomen. Men, it seems,are more likely tospring "I love you"before having sex, andthe evolutionaryunderpinnings of thisdeclaration seem to beaimed at the opportu-nity for having sex
and for genetic suc-cess. Women, on theother hand, tend tosay "I love you" aftersex, hoping to receivea declaration that isreciprocal.
For you and foreveryone, hearingthose three littlewords is a very per-sonal and privateexperience that we alllike to think is good,and real. I wouldn’ttry to generalize,despite the research— just go with yourinstincts and don’t tryto second-guess yourboyfriends too much.I’m sure they are try-ing to be sincere, andyou should take themat their three littlewords when you hearthem.
* * *Dear Dr. Brothers:
When I joined a sorority,I knew I was getting inwith some wild and crazygirls, but I never wantedto get drunk and makeout with a girl! That’swhat happened a few
weeks ago, and I havebeen regretting mybehavior ever since. Ihave to see this girl allthe time, and it is reallyawkward. She justlaughs and makes fun ofme, but I am reallyembarrassed. I have aboyfriend, and I don’twant him to find out.And I feel really gross.How do I handle this?
N.F.
Dear N.F.: It used tobe the case that soror-ity and other collegewomen would getdrunk and make outwith fraternity mem-bers or other guys oncampus, only to regretit and suffer embar-rassment afterward.Now it seems that theyhave discovered waysto misbehave withoutleaving the dorm orsorority house! Thequestionable behaviormight have changed,but the common
denominator of toomuch alcohol hasn’t. Itis well known that afew drinks loosensinhibitions and makesadventures such asyours seem perfectlylogical at the time.
The girl you werewith may have takenit all in stride, but thatdoesn’t mean it won’thave a lasting impres-sion on those aroundyou. Let’s hope a videoof your shenanigansdoesn’t end up on asocial-media site. Ifthis continues to both-er you, it may be a
good idea to tell yourpartner in crime howmortified you are, andask her to please stoptaunting you. Perhapsthis whole episodereflected or has led toquestions about yoursexuality. Don’t beafraid to face yourfears, and try to putthings in their properperspective. Drunkenexperimentation isnot the ideal, but itcan give you somefood for thought aboutwhat kind of personyou want to be fromnow on.

No one enjoys makingmistakes, yet everyone Iknow makes them. I’vegotten use to the concept.I also make sure that Iam willing to admit mymistakes, ask for forgive-ness or say I’m sorry, andtry to correct those mis-takes when I can.
I recently wrote aboutthe Bluegrass Festivalheld in Harlan. I made ahuge mistake that needsto be corrected, and Iappreciate people whogive me an opportunity tofix things when I can. Igot a Facebook messagefrom Daisy SwansonMcKenzie, letting meknow that I had gottenthe names mixed up inthat column. That’s whathappens when I don’twrite things down at themoment they happen. Imixed the name of one ofthe script writers fromJustified with a local herowho bought books fromme at the festival andcame to my rescue whenmy car wouldn’t start.
Here is her messagefrom Facebook: “I enjoyed
reading your article inFriday, July 1st's news-paper. However, I waswondering about the gen-tleman that you listed asSean from across PineMountain. Did you reallyhave a man by that namecome by your booth? Iknow that my husbandJoe McKenzie bought 3 ofyour books on 2 differentdays. You even signed oneof his books and thankedhim for keeping his word.He always keeps his word,no matter what the casemay be. He and his broth-er Adam McKenzie, werealso the ones to boost yourcar off. I mean no disre-spect to you, I was justwanted to give credit,where credit was due.Thank you for your won-derful books, he readsthem almost every night,
before he goes to bed. Ihope that you always con-tinue to do well in yourwritings. God Bless!”
Thank you, Daisy, forbringing this to my atten-tion and for correcting mewith kindness. Thankyou, Joe, for being a manof your word. And thankyou Joe and Adam forbeing heroes in my bookfor helping out someonein need.
My brother, MarkHensley, also let me knowthat I had given credit tothe wrong group for origi-nally writing and per-forming, Last Train toClarksville. It was TheMonkeys who wrote andperformed this song. Hewas afraid there mightBeatles fans who wereoffended by my mistake. Icertainly want to apolo-gize for getting the groupsmixed up! When I was ingrade school and highschool I listened to bothgroups. Of course, there isa huge difference betweenthe two groups. To anyMonkeys or Beatles fans,I apologize for the mix up.
Several weeks ago Iwas corrected about theword Easter appearing inthe Bible. I still haven’tread it, but am sure I willmake a note of it when Ido.
Through the years Ihave stated facts orpassed on information inthis column that werenever deliberately inaccu-rate, but were not quitecorrect. I apologize to myreaders for any mistakesthat may have been foundin the past or in thefuture. As hard as I try toget things right, I stillmake mistakes.
In everyday life, I seemto be more and moredreadful at getting namesright. Names are soimportant! I never forgeta face, but I often amafraid of saying the wrongname. I can be lookingstraight at someone I seeall the time and go com-pletely blank about theirname. I was very con-cerned about this changein my thought processesuntil I found out that a lotof other people suffer the
same affliction as theygrown older. Sometimesthis results from seeing afamiliar person in anunfamiliar place. Weoften associate people andplaces together. Still, it isawkward, and uncomfort-able not to have the rightname instantly on the tipof our tongues.
It seems like some peo-ple would rather eat asnake than to admit theyare wrong about some-thing or that they’vemade a mistake. Thewords, “I’m sorry,” seemto be like poison on somepeople’s tongues. So theynever say it. There aresome who never admit tobeing wrong or making amistake in their wholeentire lives. What a bur-den it must be to gothrough their days think-ing they have to be per-fect.
The hardest thingabout mistakes is thatwhen we are makingthem, we seldom recog-nize that we’ve madethem. They are never onpurpose. I often pray and
ask God to forgive me forany mistakes I may havemade and don’t yet real-ize. I ask Him to bringthem to my attention sothat I might truly repentof them.
Taking responsibilityfor a mistake gives us achance to try again or tostart over. Saying, “I’msorry,” gives us a chanceto be forgiven and beginanew.
For all the mistakes Ihave made in this columnin the past or in thefuture, please accept myapology. For all those whohave corrected my mis-takes gently, thank youso much. For those whoaccept my mistakes aspart of the human condi-tion that is common to usall and not deliberate, Isincerely appreciate yourgenerosity.
Even though I will tryto never make anotherblunder in this column, itis almost certain that Iwill. But, I will continueto try not to do so.

ATLANTA (AP) — TheBraves' youngest stars aresome of the biggest rea-sons the team is puttingpressure on Philadelphiain the NL East.
Rookie Craig Kimbrel,only 23, took the majorleague lead with his 27thsave and two 21-year-oldsluggers, FreddieFreeman and JasonHeyward, hit home runsas Atlanta beat Colorado6-3 Thursday to completeits first four-game sweepof the Rockies in 18 years.
Freeman hit fourhomers and drove inseven runs in the series.His third-inning homerwas the highlight of a five-run inning that knockedJuan Nicasio (3-2) out ofthe game. Nicasio gave upsix straight hits in theinning.
"Pitching has kept usin it all year long,"Freeman said. "Finally wegave the pitchers somebreathing room in thisseries."
Freeman, the rookie firstbaseman, is hitting .279
with 13homersand 42RBIs. Oneof hisbiggestrivals inthe racefor NLRookie of
the Year is Kimbrel, whopassed Boston's JonathanPapelbon for the mostsaves by a rookie beforethe All-Star break since1969. Papelbon had 26saves before the break in2006.
The Braves have wonnine of 10 and 14 of 17 asthey head into a serieswith NL East-leading
Philadelphia."It's going to be a good
series, no question aboutthat," said manager FrediGonzalez. "It's going to befun."
Colorado has lost fivestraight and left Atlantawith more injury woes.
The depleted Rockies,already playing withoutregulars Carlos Gonzalezand Troy Tulowitzki, hadoutfielder CharlieBlackmon break ametatarsal in his left footwhile running the basesin the third inning.
Blackmon will returnto Colorado where doctorswill determine if surgeryis necessary.

Kentucky Speedway isready for its close-upBy WILL GRAVESAP Sports Writer
SPARTA (AP) — CarlEdwards kept hearing thesame question over andover every time theNASCAR star would stepout of his hauler before aNationwide Series race atKentucky Speedway.
"They always ask whenare the Cup cars coming?When are we getting aCup race?" Edwards said.
Edwards, who admit-tedly doesn't get tooinvolved with the politicsof which tracks get a Cuprace and which ones don't,never really came up witha good answer. Now hedoesn't have to.
NASCAR's top serieswill make its long-awaiteddebut at the 1.5-mile ovaltucked in the northernKentucky hills onSaturday night, a visitthat has given the dogdays of the NASCARschedule a much-neededjolt.
Though theNationwide and TruckSeries have been comingto the track annuallyalmost from the momentit opened in 2000 and Cupteams have logged thou-sands of hours of test laps
here before the series cutdown on testing to helpteams save money,Edwards acknowledgesthings are a little differentthis time.
"Right now it feels likeit's kind of a noveltyevent," said Edwards, whowon his first NASCARevent when he capturedthe truck race here in2003. "There's a bit ofbuzz in the air."
A sensation a long-timecoming for a state withdeep ties to stock car rac-ing's roots.
This isn't actually thefirst time NASCAR's topseries has come to theBluegrass. CorbinSpeedway in southeasternKentucky hosted a Cuprace in 1954, an eventwon by Hall of Famer LeePetty.
The Waltrip family,headed by Darrell andMichael Waltrip, is fromOwensboro in westernKentucky and Michaelwill honor his brotherwith a paint scheme hon-
oring Darrell's firstNASCAR win atNashville in 1975.
That history is one ofthe reasons Jerry Carrollwas so eager to build ahigh-performance track inthe state. The head of theownership group thatopened the track in 2000was certain he could builda facility good enough toland a Cup date and thetens of millions of dollarsin economic impact thatcome with it.
Building the trackturned out to be the easypart, move a few hundredmillion cubic yards of dirtand advertise stock carracing to one of the mostdevout NASCAR fanbases located outside ofthe deep South and thingstend to work out.
Kevin Harvick thoughtthe speedway was Cupready a decade ago whenhe won the inauguralNationwide race in 2001.He saw the packed grand-stand — Kentucky hasconsistently led the one-off tracks in Nationwideattendance — and thetechnical prowess neededto successfully maneuverthrough the bumpy circuitand felt the Cup couldthrive here.
