PIKEVILLE — Nearly 30 mil-lion children and adults in the Unit-ed States have diabetes, and more than eight million don’t know they have the serious disease.
An estimated 86 million Ameri-cans have pre-diabetes, which means their blood glucose (sugar) is higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, a chronic condition that affects how the body metabolizes sugar.

Although it is a rather minor detail, the question of burial clothes can sometimes cause last minute distress to a bereaved family. In order to avoid this, perhaps it is worthwhile to say a word on the subject.
The family of the deceased is justly concerned that everything looks just right. Sometimes a casket is
selected because the color is compatible with the garment the deceased will be wearing for burial. Other times, clothes are selected from the deceased’s wardrobe after the casket has been chosen. Then there are families who go out to stores to purchase something, only to find that nothing is quite appropriate.
Funeral homes usually carry a selection of clothes, made for the purpose. The selection at the funeral home may be limited, but all dresses will have high necks and long sleeves, a style which suits the purpose but is most often hard to find in fashion-oriented stores.

An eastern Kentucky teenager moved ahead in a national competi-tion that could land her a career as a country music singer.
Louisa resident Kelsie May, the 16-year-old daughter of Roy and Elva May, qualified to compete in the NBC talent show “The Voice” on March 2 after wowing judges in a blind audi-tion.
Country music star Blake Shel-ton was the first of three judges who turned their chairs with the hopes of recruiting May for their team after hearing her perform “You’re Looking at Country” by Loretta Lynn.
On March 16, May outshined her opponent, 19-year-old Brenna Yaeger, in the show’s Battle Rounds, as she sang “Fancy” by Reba McEntire.
Shelton praised May for her tone and her confidence on stage.
A video of the performance is avail-able on YouTube and on the show’s website.
May taught herself to write music and play guitar and she honed her skills with PCG Nashville after com-peting in the Country Music Highway Road to Fame contest.
Since then, May has recorded music and played at various venues. She has opened for country music stars like Marty Stuart, John Michael Montgom-
ery, Bucky Covington and others. She debuted her original song
“Highway 23” the second time she competed in the Country Music Road to Fame contest.
After winning the Battle Round, May will move through the Knock-out round. If she excels there, she will move on through the Live Playoffs and the Live Performance shows.

It’s Endometriosis Awareness MonthPIKEVILLE — Recognizing March
as national Endometriosis Aware-ness Month, Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) encourages the public to learn more about this disorder.
PMC provides comprehensive ser-vices for women with a team of five Obstetricians/Gynecologists — Dr. Aaron Crum, Dr. Rebecca Hobbs, Dr. Angela Maggard, Dr. Tom McGuire and Dr. Erin Mullins.
Endometriosis — a painful disorder that occurs in women during their re-productive years — is one of numer-ous gynecological conditions treated by this team.
It is often called the “invisible dis-order” because it does not cause symp-toms in every woman affected by it. In other women, however, endometriosis can be very painful and can cause in-fertility.
The National Institutes of Health reports that endometriosis affects at least five million women in America, but the actual number of patients with the disorder is expected to be much larger because so many women with endometriosis do not experience any symptoms.
According to Dr. Mullins, certain women are at greater risk. “Wom-en who have a first-degree relative [mother or sister] who has been previ-ously diagnosed with the disease have a seven- to 10-fold increased risk of developing it themselves. Women who begin their menstrual periods before age 11, have menstrual cycles less than 27 days in length, or who experi-ence heavy/prolonged menstrual peri-ods may have a high risk of develop-ing endometriosis.”
Dr. Maggard said, “While symptoms and an ultrasound may be able to de-tect endometriosis, the only sure way to diagnose the disease is through a
laparoscopy.”A laparoscopy
is defined as a minor, outpa-tient procedure that places a thin tube with a camera, into the stomach to see inside one’s pelvic area. This allows the phy-sician to deter-mine the location, amount and size of the growth.
Once diagnosed, endometriosis is often first treated with anti-inflamma-tory medicine and birth control pills to control the pain and growth of the disease, before resorting to surgery to remove the endometrial implants.
Mayo Clinic reports that endo-metriosis is a disorder that occurs in women. It happens when tissues that normally reside inside of a woman’s uterus (the endometrium) grow outside of the uterus. This displaced tissue continues to act as it normally would — it thickens, breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle — but because of where it’s located, it has no way to exit the body and becomes trapped. The pain associated with this disor-der may become severe and it may also cause fertility problems.
What are the symptoms? The most common sign of en-
dometriosis is pelvic pain. Other symptoms include painful periods, pain during intercourse, pain with bowel movements or urination, ex-cessive bleeding, infertility, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and nausea.
Some women with endometriosis have extensive pain, but others who have endometriosis may have little or no pain at all. This disorder is sometimes mistaken for other con-ditions that cause pelvic pain.
Who will get this disorder? The exact cause of this disorder is
not known, but it more likely to oc-cur in women who have never given birth, have other family members with the disorder, have a history of pelvic infection, or have uterine abnormalities or any other medical condition that prevents the normal passage of menstrual �low out of the body.
Will it cause cancer?The Mayo Clinic reports that ovar-
ian cancer does not occur at higher rates in women with endometriosis. The health care expert points out, however, that some studies suggest that having endometriosis increas-es the risk of ovarian cancer, but the risk is “still relatively low.”
Another type of rare cancer called endometriosis-associated adeno-carcinoma may develop in some women with endometriosis. These women may also develop other types of cancer.
The National Institutes of Health reports that endometriosis is not the same as endometrial cancer. The word “endometrium,” the orga-nization explains, describes tissues that line the inside of the uterus, and endometrial cancer affects that inside lining of the uterus. But en-dometriosis itself is not cancer.
What can be done?Mayo Clinic offers the following
tips as to help women with endo-metriosis relieve their discomfort:
Warm baths and heating pads may relax pelvic muscles to reduce cramping and pain.
Over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB and oth-ers) and naproxen (Aleve and oth-ers) can help ease pain.
Getting regular exercise may im-prove symptoms.

Local events raise funds, awareness for cerebral palsyBy MARY MEADOWSStaff Writer
PIKEVILLE — Two lo-cal events will raise aware-ness about cerebral palsy and funds for organizations working to assist people who have it.
In Pike County, Virgie resident Bobbi Jo Childers is hosting her second Cerebral Palsy Awareness Walk/5K on March 21 at Bob Amos Park. Registration begins at 7 a.m.
Childers started the event last year in honor of her 11-year-old son, Brayden Ri-ley Wright, who has cerebral palsy. Last year, she raised $3,500 for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where her son is treated.
Saturday’s event will fea-ture prizes for top winners, t-shirts, inflatables, a silent
auction and various activities. All pro-ceeds will once again be donated to the hospital.
“A lot of people around here, they don’t even know what cerebral palsy is,” she said. “They don’t understand what these kids have to go through, even if they have a mild form of cere-
bral palsy like Brayden does. I started this walk because we have kids in this community who have cerebral palsy and I want to take a stand for them.”
In Floyd County, Rodney Gardner is working with other local residents to organize the first-ever Cerebral Palsy Awareness 5K Walk/Run on March 28. Registration begins at 8:45 a.m. and is $15 for pre-registrants and $20 on race day.
Gardner, who walked in Childers’ event in Pike County last year, want-ed to raise awareness about cerebral palsy. His son, Jacob Gardner, a Pre-stonsburg High School freshman, has cerebral palsy.
“It’s just a great thing for the com-munity coming out to support not just Jacob, but all families who have chil-dren with cerebral palsy,” Gardner said. “We appreciate everybody com-ing out to help. We want everybody to wear green and have fun.”
Floyd County Judge-Executive Ben Hale and Prestonsburg Mayor Les
Stapleton each signed proclamations designating March as Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. Those efforts come as the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams at PHS host events to raise awareness for the disorder.
Gardner said the walk will feature information about cerebral palsy, awards for race winners, T-shirts, a si-lent auction and refreshments.
All proceeds will benefit United Ce-rebral Palsy, a national organization that works to educate the public about the disorder and find ways to cure it.
Registration forms are available at Jenny Wiley State Resort Park, where Gardner works, Pro Fitness, Foxy Fitness, Prestonsburg City Hall and Prestonsburg Tourism Commission & Visitor’s Bureau.
For details about the Pike County event, visit the Cerebral Palsy Aware-ness Walk/5K Run on Facebook or call Childers at 606-213-3466.

This year, Pike County resident Dedra “DeDe” Nolte will celebrate her 21st year as a Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) employee.
She was hired in 1994 to work as a respira-tory therapist and continued that service for 18 years, working on patient floors, and later in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). She stepped into her current role as a clinical specialist about two years ago.
Working in the ICU was the most memorable part of her career at PMC. “I gained a lot of knowledge in areas that I probably would have not learned without having worked in ICU and having that experience,” she said. “It was a hard place to work, but I learned a lot there.” Nolte, an active member at the McVeigh Bap-tist Church, is thankful to work at a hospital with a Christian mission.
“The Lord is my first priority,” she said. “I give him first and foremost credit for everything.”
PMC employees honor the mission by putting patients first, no matter what, she said.
“One thing I can definitely say about this place is that patient care comes first here,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what your title is here.
If you go by a patient room and they need something, you do what you can to help that patient.”
She’s also very thankful for her leaders and co-workers. “I love the leadership that has been in my department,” she said. And I love the group of people I work with. I’ve developed some awesome friendships with them. I’m very grateful for the leadership and my co-workers who really go above and beyond to care for patients.”
She has witnessed many changes at PMC over the years. “Years ago, more patients were transferred out of the hospital for care. Now, more patients are transferred into the hospi-tal.”
“Seeing that makes me feel good about the place I am working,” she said. “I feel confident in that — if something happened to my own family, about having to bring my own family here for care.”
She lives in Canada with her husband, Ken-tucky State Police trooper Jimmy Nolte. Her sons are 20-year-old J.P. Robinette and Peyton Nolte, 11.
Alan Derossett spent the last 18 years learning and growing with Pikeville Medical Center (PMC), and he hopes to continue doing so for years to come.
He started working at PMC in 1997 after seeing that PMC had a tremendous potential for growth.
“I like that the hospital is growing. It’s growing exponentially, really,” he said. “There are more things going on, more things to learn about. It’s not only good for the people in the area and the region, it’s good for the people who are employed here because working in a place like this gives you the opportunity to step out and learn something new.”
He worked his first year as a staff Registered Nurse overseeing the care of patients on the medical unit. He said the Licensed Practical Nurses he met in that role taught him his most valuable nursing lessons.
“I was a 22- or 23-year-old guy working with a lot of LPNs who had worked here for 20 years or so. I probably learned most of my most valuable les-sons that year-and-a-half working with them,” he said.
He also worked several years in the Surgical Inten-sive Care Unit (SICU) helping open heart patients recover, and then in surgery on the open heart team. He then moved to the Cardiac Catheteriza-tion Lab, where he has worked 11 years.
On March 12, he accepted a new position that he will start this year. He will be working in a new interventional radiology area, which is currently under construction on the hospital’s second floor.
“We’ve been doing interventional radiology for a few years now, but it’s becoming its own depart-ment,” he said.
The chance to continue growing and learning is what he finds exciting about working at PMC, but Derossett is also thankful to work in such a re-warding field. “I like having a job where you can see that your efforts are worthwhile, where you can see the outcome,” he said. “You get to help people and it’s appreciated.”
He has received “thank you” letters, cards and even homemade cookies from patients and their families. “All these things let you know you’re do-ing something right,” he said.
One day, a grandmother came running toward him in the hallway with an infant in her arms. The baby was choking. Derossett was on his way to handle an emergency but he stopped to help the child.
“That’s the most rewarding part about it,” he said. “People put their trust in you. People come to you for help and the good part of it, the realistic part, is that you’re there to help. You’re helping somebody, and it doesn’t just stop with that patient. It goes on to the rest of the patient’s family.”
Floyd County mourningfire chief’s passing
COW CREEK — For the second time this month, firefighters in Floyd County are mourning the loss of one of their own.
Cow Creek Fire Department Chief Jim B. Caldwell died March 13 after a long battle with cancer.

LIVE WISELY!Prayer, at its root, is not a way
of keeping God informed about our life situation. He already knows everything there is to know about it.
Prayer, at its root, is not a method of telling God what we, in our finite wisdom, think we need. He already knows everything there is to know about our needs.
Prayer, at its root, is a willingness to let God be God. “Pause awhile and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10). Thus said the Lord to the Ancient Psalmist.
Prayer, at its root, is listening for the voice of God in our inmost being.
Ask not what God can do for you. Ask what you can do for the kingdom of God.
Ask not what God can give you. Ask what you can give to God!
The great scientist, Isaac Newton, was a man rooted in prayer which is to say rooted in God. He once said, “I can take my telescope and look millions and millions of miles into space. But I can lay it aside and go into my room, shut the door, get down on my knees, and see more of Heaven, and get closer to God than I can assisted by all the telescopes and material things on earth.”
Jesus was once in a certain place praying, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said, “Lord, teach us to pray.” (Luke 11:1).
Jesus says to the disciples, “Ask and it will be given to you: search and you will find: knock and the door will be open to you. For the one who asks always receives; the one who searches, always finds. The one who knocks will always have the door open to him.”
Prayer, at its root, is the pursuit of true wisdom.

By MARY MEADOWSStaff Writer
JUSTELL — People who travel from Floyd County and other north-ern areas of eastern Kentucky to Pike County must drive through Betsy Layne, a small unincorporated town located just off U.S. 23 near Harold.
For those who think the town’s name sounds a little feminine — well, that’s because it is.
Betsy Layne, founded in 1875, is actually named after a lady who lived near the town’s current location. She died the year the town was founded.
Her name was Elizabeth “Betsy” Johns Layne, the daughter of Nancy and Thomas P. Johns II.
In 1831, she married Tandy Middle-ton Layne, one of the first settlers of the nearby Justell community. The Layne family owned hundreds of acres in the area. Now, the property is di-vided in a trust between nearly two dozen people.
Lexington resident Danielle New has never lived in eastern Kentucky, has nothing to do with that trust and she is not related to the Layne fam-ily, but for eight years, she has been working to restore a piece of Floyd County’s history at the Betsy Layne Cemetery.
“There’s just so much history in this cemetery and it hurts my heart to know that it’s fallen into despair,” New said. “This city and this county were founded around people who were buried in this cemetery and they don’t even know that. They don’t know why their town was founded and why it was called Betsy Layne.”
Why it matters to NewNew, 33, came to the Betsy Layne
Cemetery because her second-great-
grandparents, Joseph Bishop Colgrove and Lucy Colgrove, are buried there. It took her years to find their final resting place.
Like cemeteries throughout eastern Kentucky and other southern states, the Betsy Layne Cemetery has fallen to neglect. Graves have sunken be-neath mounds of thick brush, fences are pulled down by vines and trees have tumbled over and broken head-stones.
For three years, New regularly trav-eled from Lexington to Floyd County to search for the graves of her second-great-grandparents at the cemetery. It spans several acres on a hill in Justell.
“I was hoping there was some vi-tal information on their headstones,” she said. “Their death certificates said they were buried in the Betsy Layne Cemetery at Justell. So, that brought me here, and from 2007 to 2010, I came here two or three times a year looking for their headstones. One day I slipped and fell and my knee hit something. I just started pulling back
some of the vines and vegetation and there they were.”
Floyd County’s history is buried in the cemetery
The headstones did not give New additional information about her fam-ily history, but it did spark her desire to learn more about other people bur-ied at the cemetery, including Betsy Layne — the namesake of not only the cemetery and the town, but also local schools, the post office and the fire de-partment.
“I’m just more intrigued about the history of Betsy Layne and Tandy Layne,” she said. “And I want to find if James Shannon Layne is buried here. If we find that history, maybe we can get into the school system around here and educate these children about their town.”
James Shannon Layne — the first known Layne to settle in Floyd Coun-ty — was a Revolutionary War soldier whose grave New desperately hopes to find in the cemetery. That’s because there are programs that would help fund the cleanup and preservation of the cemetery — a $30,000 endeavor — if a Revolutionary War soldier is buried there.
To date, New has identified seven veterans buried at the cemetery. They served in the Civil War, World War II and the Korean War.
“I’m currently working to identify the eighth veteran,” she said. “He doesn’t have a marker. His family was poor and he was in World War II and he died maybe in the 1960s or 1970s. Somebody just wrote his name on his headstone and they’ve never been back to give him any type of marker.”
The Civil War veteran, Lindsey Layne, fought at the Battle of Mid-dle Creek in Prestonsburg, New said. Through research, she also learned that he was also a prominent Floyd County judge and postmaster. He lived in Peach Orchard in the 1800s.
“Lt. Lindsey Layne and his son were the only two people in the area who
voted for Abraham Lincoln,” New said. “They were on the Union side. They were told, ‘If you come and vote, there will be men there with guns,’ but they didn’t shoot them. The genealo-gist who researched it said they found records that showed there were only two votes in Floyd County for Abra-ham Lincoln, so that story might be true.”
Lt. Layne’s grave is not properly marked, New said.
“He should have a marker that is prominent, that shows he was a judge of the county and that he was a Lieu-tenant of the Civil War,” she said.
New said three of the World War II veterans buried at the cemetery — Charles Goble, Raymond Goble and George Moles Jr. — were among four men who died in a mining disaster on Feb. 25, 1948.
“They never came home from their shift for the week, so their wives went to the mine to find them,” she said. “They all died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The newspaper stated that the city heard the women coming out of the mine, crying and screaming be-cause their husbands had died.”
The headstone of one of these graves is leaning, and headstones for two of these men are buried under a thicket of vines and saplings. A nearby head-stone of another World War II soldier is covered in mold.
“The mold has taken over it,” New said, pointing at the headstone. “That mold will eat into that granite and marble and then one day, you’re not going to be able to read what it says.”
The grave of Betsy and Tandy Layne also found this same fate at the cemetery.
Years ago, New found Betsy Layne’s headstone there, planted in the ground next to her husband’s headstone. To-day, it does not exist. New hopes it is tucked up under vegetation, but she suspects that vandals destroyed it.
When New visited the cemetery last fall, Tandy Layne’s headstone was still standing. On a March 13 visit, howev-er, New discovered Layne’s headstone broken from its seam of earth and ly-ing flat on the ground.
“It’s just a matter of time before it breaks and you won’t be able to fix

it,” she said. “Our history is fading fast and if we don’t clean it up and preserve it, it’s going to be gone for-ever and people won’t be able to trace the genealogy that’s lying in this cem-etery.”
Genealogists spend much of their time unraveling mysteries — stories of people who were born and lived and died and — if they are lucky — every-thing in between.
New and her team of volunteers have painstakingly located 130 graves at the cemetery. Each of them flagged, photographed and cataloged in her online database. Because of the over-growth, she can’t locate about 20 per-cent of the graves.
Officials with the National Register of Historic Places promised to help New map the cemetery if it is cleaned up to a maintainable state.
That’s just one of many organiza-tions she has reached out to for help.
New wants to preserve the county’s history
In a perfect world, New could raise enough money to clean up the cem-etery and take steps to preserve it, utilizing headstone preservation kits to restore old headstones before they become brittle and wilt away like the bodies of those buried there. She even found a company in North Carolina that can search the property with ra-dar to find all of the graves without headstones.
But life is far from perfect.“People laugh at me when I tell
them what I’m doing,” she said. “They say, ‘What are you doing?’ There are cemeteries on hillsides like that all over eastern Kentucky.’”
In nearby Pike County, officials cleaned up neglected cemeteries be-cause descendants of the Hatfield and McCoy feud are buried there and the 2012 release of a History Channel miniseries about the feud attracted droves of tourists. Buses of tourists still flock to those communities, and the tourists bring their wallets when they come, buying souvenirs, eating at local restaurants and shopping in local stores.
New would like to see that happen at the Betsy Layne Cemetery.
Her ability to see that happen, how-ever, lies in the hands of many others.
She has personally invested thou-sands of hours for research, physical labor to clean up the cemetery and more than $2,000 on the project. She even created a nonprofit agency, Betsy Layne Cemetery, to raise funds for the effort.
She’s received quotes from several companies that can clean up the cem-etery without causing more damage. After that, she’d seek additional funds to preserve headstones and maintain it for future generations.
“It’d be $30,000. That’s the quote we’ve gotten from several different tree preservists who can come up here and clean it up,” she said. “They’ve all quoted about $30,000 to clean up all these trees, haul them out and fix the fences that have fallen.”
The last known burial at the cem-etery was in 2010. Because the graves are not well marked, gravediggers uncovered one grave trying to dig an-
other one.“If we were just able to mark these
graves, saying that an unknown per-son is buried here, then it would pre-vent disturbing their peace and other people can bury their family members here,” she said.
The mystery of Betsy Layne remains
New wants to learn more about Betsy Layne with the hope that it will entice local residents to want to help restore the cemetery.
She knows that Betsy Layne mar-ried Tandy Layne in 1831, that she had five kids from 1831 to 1839 and that her husband died of typhoid fe-ver when her youngest child was two years old. New discovered that Betsy Layne never remarried and that she had laborers and at least two slaves who lived with her.
“She had to have been an incredible woman,” New said. “She had to have been. They gave her a post office when she died. They gave the town to her af-ter she died, so she did something. But no one knows. It really, really bothers me that there is not more information about this woman.”
Courthouse records were lost in a fire and the only records she finds do not state why the town was named.
The chimney of Betsy Layne’s house is still visible on a plot of land in the Justell community. That area is also overgrown and neglected.
In “Kentucky’s Last Frontier,” east-ern Kentucky historian Henry P. Scalf details the Stratton and Layne settle-ments in the Betsy Layne area.
He reports that “a flood of settlers” from southwest Virginia came to the Big Sandy Valley in the late 1700s. In 1796, Solomon Stratton and his sons settled in what was then known as Mare Creek Narrows. James Shan-non Layne — the Revolutionary War Soldier New desperately hopes to find at the cemetery — founded the Layne Settlement nearby.
Layne opened a horse mill for cus-tom grinding of grain and later opened a general store there, Scalf reported.
“The two settlements, due to the many outstanding descendants, be-came important in log cabin develop-ment days,” Scalf wrote. “Like the Harmans and Auxiers farther down the river they contributed permanence and stability to a fast peopling valley.”
A newspaper article he wrote in 1954 explained that the parents of Betsy Layne and Tandy Layne trav-eled to the Big Sandy about a decade before they were born.
“Betsy’s mother had ridden horse-back to Kentucky with one of the chil-dren, age about two years, lying in her arms,” he wrote.

Tax deductible donations may also be mailed to Betsy Layne Cemetery, 977 Sugarbush Trail, Lex-ington, Ky. 40509. New is hosting a cemetery cleanup from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 28.

PRESTONSBURG – When Maranda Finney heard her name announced as the winner of the Big Sandy Idol Regional Competition, it took a second to sink in.
Finney, 16, a junior at Wesley Chris-tian School, fl awlessly performed “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera in front of a sold-out crowd at the Mountain Arts Center. The competition, presented by Gearheart Communications and Big Sandy Com-munity and Technical College, is open to students in high schools throughout eastern Kentucky.
“So many great performers took the stage and nailed it,” said Finney, who also takes three classes at Big Sandy Community and Technical College. “It was an honor to compete with so many outstanding performers.”
More than 30 participants performed during the two-night event. Ally Davis, a sophomore at Prestonsburg High School, was fi rst runner-up for her performance of “A Man’s World” by James Brown. Lauren Dotson was second runner-up. The junior from Phelps High School performed “Something in the Water” by Carrie Underwood.
Finney earned a full-paid scholarship to BSCTC, a cash prize, a full album recording and a spot on the Big Sandy Singers and Band. Caitlin Conley of Paintsville High School also earned a spot on the Big Sandy Singers and Band and was awarded the Senior Award. She performed “I Wonder” by Kelly Pickler.
Payton Trout, a sophomore at Belfry High School, won the crowd favorite award during the fi nal round on Satur-day. He performed “A Change is Gonna Come” by Sam Cooke. Roger Hall, a senior at Betsy Layne High School, won the crowd favorite award on Friday. He performed “House of the Rising Sun” by the Animals.
Alex Meade, a junior at Betsy Layne High School, won the essay contest.
Clayton Case, director of Fine Arts at BSCTC, said this year’s Big Sandy Idol Regional Competition highlighted the very best our region has to offer.
“All of our performers did an outstand-ing job,” he said. “These young men and women gave the people of Eastern Ken-tucky a glimpse of the tremendous tal-ent walking the halls of our local high schools.”
Haley Sullivan, a fi rst-year member of the Big Sandy Singers and Band who was recently selected to the prestigious music program at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., and Clarke Sexton,
a senior at Johnson Central High School and 2014 Big Sandy Idol Regional Com-petition winner, performed “Poison and Wine” by the Civil Wars. Sullivan and Sexton also debuted their full album at the Big Sandy Idol Regional Competi-tion.
This year’s competition also featured performances by the Big Sandy Singers and Band. Each contestant performed with a live band as the Big Sandy Sing-ers and Band performed with Friday’s school runner-up winners, and the house band of the Mountain Arts Center per-formed with contestants on Saturday.
Olivia Davis, of Pikeville High School, advanced to Saturday’s fi nal round after performing “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. Laken Compton, of Betsy Layne High School, won the fi rst-ever Appalachian Wireless Wildcard and advanced to Sat-urday’s fi nal round. The contest was generated by text messaging voting on Appalachian Wireless phones.
“So many people work for months putting this event together,” said Case. “I want to thank our Fine Arts department and the staff and management of the Mountain Arts Center. They always go above and beyond to make this a unique experience for our participants. This would not be possible without the gener-osity of our corporate sponsor Gearheart Communications and other partners such as Appalachian Wireless and Double Kwik.”

March is Sexual Assault Awareness MonthPIKEVILLE — Pike County Judge-
Executive William Deskins signed a proclamation recognizing March as Sexual Assault Awareness Month on March 19.
The proclamation came with sup-port of the Pike County Advocacy and Support Program and The Healing Program, a Mountain Comprehensive Care Center service that offers support and services to victims of sexual and domestic violence.
Kentucky has higher rates of sexual violence, with 47.7 percent of women and 19.6 percent of men in the state experiencing sexual violence.
According to the proclamation, more than 3,000 calls were made to Kentucky’s regional rape crisis cen-ters last year. These centers provided more than 17,000 counseling sessions, 3,300 types of advocacy services and more than 3,800 educational programs for Kentucky residents.
There are many forms of sexual vio-lence, including rape, child abuse and intimate contact without consent (such
as sex with an intoxicated person). There are also non-physical types of sexual violence, such as stalking, ver-bal coercion or harassment.
The Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs, a statewide coali-tion of 13 rape crisis centers that work together to be a “unified voice against sexual victimization,” is asking Ken-tucky residents to “Be a Voice!” for sexual assault victims in the state. Details about how to get involved are available on the agency’s website, http://kasap.org.
Mountain Comprehensive Care Center’s The Healing Program in Prestonsburg (606-886-8572 or 800-422-1060) serves residents in Floyd, Pike, Johnson, Magoffin and Martin counties. The Rising Center in Haz-ard (606-436-5761, ext. 7800) serves residents of Letcher, Knott and Perry counties.

Pikeville resident Leslie Combs dedi-cated her life to public service.
She started her first term as state rep-resentative in 2007 and currently repre-sents residents of Letcher County and residents in part of Pike County in the Kentucky General Assembly.
She serves on numerous committees, including those that consider measures concerning the state’s appropriations and revenue, transportation, economic development and tourism, education, energy and government. She also repre-sents Kentucky on the National Confer-ence of State Legislatures’ committees.
In 2009, she was one of the experts ap-pointed by the governor to “Transform-ing Education in Kentucky,” a task force geared to bring the state’s educational system into the 21st Century.
More recently, she and Rep. Greg Stumbo led the charge that created the Kentucky Coal County College Comple-tion Scholarship program, which helps students in coal-producing counties fin-ish a bachelor’s degree.
Through the years, Combs has been a staunch supporter of education, coal mining, economic development, the right to hunt and fish and numerous oth-er issues affecting eastern Kentucky.
But her service to the state and to
eastern Kentucky goes far beyond those titles.
Over the years, she has served on boards for numerous organizations that work to enrich the lives of eastern Kentucky residents, including the Pike County Industrial Development Eco-nomic Authority Board (1998-2007), Pike County Chamber of Commerce (Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Com-merce) and, among others, the Site-Based Decision-Making Councils at Pike County high schools and elemen-tary schools. She’s worked for the Uni-versity of Pikeville for more than two decades.
An avid golfer, Combs also served as a member of the Green Meadows Ladies Golf Association, and regularly supports the Southeast Kentucky Cham-ber of Commerce’s Links for Learning fundraising golf scramble, among other charities.
She is a member of the Pikeville Ro-tary Club, Pike County Democrat Ex-ecutive Committee and the Pike County Democratic Woman’s Club (since 1985).
In 2011, she was among 100 people selected nationally to participate in the Program for Emerging Leaders because of her “integrity, compassion, intelli-gence, vision and commonsense.”
In 2014, the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce gave Combs the “MVP Award” for “going to ‘bat’ for busi-nesses in Kentucky and the University of Pikeville honored her in its Distin-guished Educators Hall of Fame.
Those mark only a few of her contri-butions to the people and communities of this region.

Floyd County residents Sam and Tina Hughes will tell you that losing a child — their only child — has been one of the most challenging journeys of their lives.
What they won’t tell you is that the death of their seven-year-old son, Jor-dan, has left them with nothing to pour their love into.
It’s because of that love that Tina
Hughes is honored during Women’s History Month as a local woman who has made a difference.
Hughes, a physical therapist, and her husband, a business owner, prayed for years to have a child.
Their beautiful baby boy, Samuel Jordan Hughes, was diagnosed with an ependymoma, or a tumor in his brain, when he was just a toddler. He under-went numerous surgeries and medical procedures to beat the cancer, but he lost the battle at the age of seven in 2010.
Hundreds of people from across the country followed Jordan’s progress online and hundreds of local residents, church members, family members and friends supported him and his family during his life-long struggle with can-cer.
After saying goodbye to their son, Tina and Sam said hello to their new purpose. They asked for monetary do-nations instead of flowers at Jordan’s funeral and created a nonprofit orga-nization, the Jordan Light Foundation, to help other families with children who have medical illnesses.
“It would have been easier to say, ‘I’m not dealing with childhood can-cer anymore. My journey with that is
over. But we had the ability to help other families, so that is what we need to do. That’s what we’re supposed to do,” Tina said in previous Medical Leader interviews.
With the mission of “Families help-ing families through the love of Je-sus Christ,” the foundation provides awareness, support and funding to families experiencing a medical crisis.
Jordan’s illness sent the family to specialty hospitals in numerous states, and Sam and Tina realized that there is a huge need for assistance with ex-penses associated with medical situ-ations that often aren’t covered by health insurance.
She spends most of her time now as one of many Jordan Light Foundation volunteers, serving as president of the board. She calls that service her “labor of love.”
In that effort, she travels throughout the state and into other states to visit sick children in hospitals, pray with their family members, participate in foundation committee meetings and help organize fundraisers.
Last year, the foundation expanded, establishing an office in Cleveland, Tennessee, and partnering with Ome-ga Center International, Perry Stone’s
Youth Ministry. The foundation has assisted numer-
ous children and families since its founding five years ago. It does so by bringing Christians of all denomina-tions together for one cause.

Women who Made a DifferenceShe’s an eastern Kentucky advocate
Leslie Combs, State Representative
This volunteer has the heart of a true servantShe’s 89 years old, but Pikeville
resident Jeanette Elder doesn’t let age slow her down.
After graduating in 1960 from Pikeville College (University of Pikeville), Elder earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the Uni-versity of Kentucky, where she met her husband, Ed, the former owner of an insurance company and an avid photog-rapher. They married the day after they graduated.
In interviews with the Medical Lead-er, she said, “I’ve never been one to just sit around. I need to get out and help people. It’s just a part of me, I guess.”
She’s been doing that all of her life. Today, Elder is an active member of
the Pikeville United Methodist Church, where she has sung in the choir for more than 60 years and has been nominated
for numerous leadership roles.Elder, a former Pikeville High School
cheerleading coach, is a founding orga-nizer of the Kentucky Association of Pep Organization Sponsors in 1954. KAPOS hosts numerous competitions for cheer-leaders and dance teams annually. Elder served as a KAPOS cheerleading judge for decades, trained KAPOS judges and currently serves on the organization’s advisory board.
For that service, she was inducted into the Kentucky High School Athletic As-sociation’s Hall of Fame in 1998, and the Pikeville High School Hall of Fame in 1989 and, in 2002, the she and her husband Ed were inducted into the then-named Pikeville College Athletic Hall of Fame.
In June 2012, Elder accepted the Life-time Achievement Award from the Ken-
tucky Commission on Community Vol-unteerism and Service. Her nomination for that honor came from Dana King, Director of Guest Relations at Pikeville Medical Center.
Elder has been a volunteer at Pikeville Medical Center since the hospital started its volunteer program in 1990. Since that time, she has donated more than 10,240 hours of service at PMC. She and her husband spent years taking pictures of babies born at PMC. Now, Elder pro-vides other types of volunteer services at the hospital.
PMC officials honor volunteers each year with the Ed Elder Volunteer of the Year Award in her husband’s honor.

Celebrating March as Wom-en’s History Month, the Medical Leader is highlighting several local women who are doing or did things that changed or in-fluenced eastern Kentucky. The long list includes women who have been recognized on state and national levels — nurses, congressional leaders, musi-cians, writers, advocates and business leaders.
We ask our readers to pause and reflect on these women and their accomplishments and to take time this month to thank a woman who has influenced their lives.

Several bills in Beshear’s hands The 2015 General Assembly is
winding down and a bill that would provide funding to Shaping Our Ap-palachian Region is in the hands of the governor.
Voting 99-0 on March 11, the Senate gave final passage to SB 168 to create the Kentucky Appalachian Regional Development Fund. The House passed the bill with a vote of 36-0 on Feb. 25.
Working through Shaping Our Ap-palachian Region, the fund would uti-lize the Department of Local Govern-ment to provide funds for economic development in eastern Kentucky.
Funds would be available to non-profit agencies, formally-designated entities of SOAR and local govern-ment offices and agencies. The grants or loans would be used to support job creation and retention, entrepreneur-ship, tourism, broadband deployment, education and lifelong learning, work-force training, leadership develop-ment, public engagement, health and wellness, arts and heritage, infrastruc-ture, economic diversity and sustain-able agriculture practices.
This bill is supported by all local legislators.
Another bill sponsored by a local legislator that’s headed to the Gover-nor’s desk is SCR 109, sponsored by Sen. Ray S. Jones II to designate the Blood Song: The History of the Hat-fields & the McCoys as the official play on the feud in Kentucky.
HB 92, sponsored by Rep. Leslie Combs of Pikeville, to help addicts, is also in the hands of the Governor, as is HB 348.
The bill is geared to attract more professionals with advanced degrees to the field of addiction counseling.
“Our goal is to bring in more peo-ple who may have different educa-tion and experience levels but still have the same goal: to help our citi-zens overcome their addictions,” Rep. Combs said. “The heroin legislation the General Assembly is now working on is expected to call for more treat-ment options. This law will help us to achieve that goal as well as help us be ready for any other drug problem that may occur.”
Gov. Beshear will also consider an-other bill she co-sponsored to clarify that a private entity does not include one created by a local government or one whose membership includes ap-pointees by a local government.
He will also consider Rep. Chris Harris’ bill to modify the calculation of per diem salary for retired judges called to temporary active judicial ser-vice and a bill co-sponsored by Rep. John Short to allow a taker-up to have a stray equine gelded after a 15-day hold.
Legislators met in Frankfort for three days last week and both cham-bers passed a flurry of bills before the Senate and House adjourned shortly before midnight on March 11.
As of March 17, Gov. Steve Bes-hear had signed four bills, converting them into law.
The first bill he signed designates $132.5 million in bonds to build a
research center at the University of Kentucky. He also signed a telephone deregulation bill into law and a bill that allows residents to specify their wishes for end-of-life care.
On March 17, Beshear signed HB 134 into law to reinstate a tax break for Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland. It would waive the state’s excise tax on live pari-mutuel wagering for the race.
Other bills up for consideration by the Governor include:
•SB 22 to help Kentucky entrepre-neurs use crowdfunding to start a busi-ness •HB 24 to make it harder for chil-dren to misuse cough medicines.
•HB 234 to require early child care and education programs to follow a state quality-based rating system.
•SB 28 to prohibit Internet cafés from offering computer-based gam-bling.
•HB 62 to make agencies that leave the Kentucky Employee Retirement System pay part of the system’s un-funded liability.
•SB 75 to require newborns health screenings to includes checks for Krabbe Disease.
•SJR 20 to assess the state’s backlog of sexual assault cases.
•SB 119 to give schools until June 5 to make up snow days or seek a waiv-er.
•SB 159 to require health care pro-viders to give information about spina bifida and treatment options to parents who unborn children have been diag-nosed.
•SB 10 to improve stroke victim care by requiring local emergency ser-vices to have a list of all acute stroke-ready hospitals.
•SB 55 to allow game meat to be do-nated to organizations that offer free meals to people in need.
•SB 61 to remove barriers to colorec-tal cancer screening.
•SB 62 to allow elected officials who are reelected to a new term in the same position and who then retire fol-lowing reelection but prior to the new term to have a prearranged agreement or void her or her initial retirement.
•SB 119 to require school personnel to receive training on child abuse and neglect.
•SB 162 requiring flags to be flown at half staff upon the death of an emer-gency response personnel in the line of duty.
•SB 182 to require notice and meth-od of notice of high-volume horizontal fracturing, baseline water quality test-ing and other requirements.
The veto recess — during which lawmakers wait to see if the Gover-nor vetoes any bills — will continue through March 23-24, when legisla-tors return to Frankfort for the last days of this session.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — After trailing by as many as 19 points in the second half, sixth-seeded University of Pikeville was within four of No. 3-seed Langston (Okla.) with under two minutes to play, but the come-back came up short in the end for an 80-71 loss in the first round of the NAIA National Championship on March 18.
Against a team that was beating its oppo-nents by nearly 30 points per game, the Bears showed no fear, even after trailing by 15 at halftime and by double digits for most of the second half.
Khalilah Quigley, who matched the game high of 19 points, scored the Bears’ last bucket to make it 75-71 with 1:32 to play, but Langston scored the last five points of the game at the stripe to move on to the second round.
Aundrea Matchen joined Quigley in dou-ble figures with 18 points off the bench and Kandice Porter finished with eight points and five rebounds. T’Keya Mason paced Langs-ton with 19 points and Lulu Perry chipped in

Letcher Central girlscome up short to JC

BOWLING GREEN — Letcher County Central has seen enough of Johnson Central this basketball season.
For the second time this year, the Lady Golden Eagles handed the Lady Cougars a two-point loss. This time though, it was on the state’s biggest stage.
Johnson Central’s Bailey Daniel scored on a la-yup with 5.5 seconds left to give the Lady Eagles a thrilling 62-60 win. It marked the second two-point loss for LCC since December.
The winning basket was set up when Paige McPeek came away with a steal and dished the ball to Daniel for the easy layup.
The Lady Golden Eagles defeated the Lady Cou-gars 53-51 in a game played back on Dec. 1. LCC’s season ends at 18-11.
It was a difficult loss for LCC which led by as many as eight points in the third period. The Lady Cougars’ final lead came at 62-60 with 33 seconds left.
Lauren Salyer nailed a pair of foul shots with just over 17 seconds remaining to knot the score at 60-all.
“We battled them right to the end,” LCC head coach Dickie Adams said. “They made some tough shots down the stretch and we got tired over the last three or four minutes of the game.”
Johnson Central, now 22-11, was led by Daniel’s game-high 26 points. Ali May came off the bench to add 11.
The Lady Cougars were paced by Kristina Bent-ley with 25 points while Cheyanne Stidham and Courtney Brock tossed in 13 apiece.
Johnson Central, the 15th Region champion, ad-vanced to the Elite Eight to face Mason County.

Young Panthers punchticket to state tourney
By TEDDY PAYNTERStaff Writer
NAUGATUCK, W.Va. — Tug Valley is headed back to the boys’ state basketball tournament for the 11th time in school history.
The Panthers, now 17-6, used a strong second-half performance to pull away and beat Richwood, 63-37, in the Class A, Region 3 co-championship game played on March 12.
“I thought we came out in the second half and played much better,” Tug Valley head coach Gar-land “Rabbitt” Thompson said. “We shot the basket-ball well after halftime.”
Indeed they did.After holding a slim 24-15 halftime lead Tug Val-
ley scored 42 points over the final 16 minutes, hit-ting 10 of 16 three-pointers for the game. The Pan-thers made good on 24-of-56 field goals.
Freshmen Jeremy Dillon and Tyler May scored 11 each along with Calvin Blankenship to lead the Pan-thers. Jonathan Blankenship chipped in nine.
Shane Lipps scored nine to lead Richwood.Tug Valley opened play at the Charleston Civic
Center late last night against Williamstown. Mean-while, the Lumberjacks season ends at 15-5.
The Panthers are looking for their second Class A state championship.
Tug Valley won Class AA back in 1999 and again in 2012. TV became the first school in state history to win back-to-back championships in two differ-ence classifications.
“We’re excited about getting back to the state tournament,” Thompson said.

UPIKE / FROM 18with 15.
The Lions outshot UPIKE 46.2 to 34.2 percent from the field and led the game on the boards 51-40. Pikeville ended up with less turnovers at 14-10.
Langston wasted no time jumping out to a 7-0 lead, ending the early run with a three from Lynette Holmes in the corner. Porter got the Bears their first points with a put back and Quig-ley banked in a three shortly after to make it 10-5.
The Lions had no trouble scoring over the first seven minutes, but time and time again UPIKE came up with big baskets. Trailing 16-10, Matchen continued that trend with a contested three to keep the Bears close.
Midway through the half though, the shots stopped falling for the Bears, leading to Langston grabbing a 24-15 lead with the help of two straight of-fensive rebounds and easy buckets.
Down but not out, the Bears out-scored the Lions 7-1 over the next three minutes to trim the deficit back down to three at 25-22. But as it’s done all season, Langston fired back with a quick, deflating run, outscoring the Bears 11-6 to take its largest lead yet of 10 points.
With three minutes on the clock, Mason delivered a dagger with a deep three, followed by Holmes getting loose for a layup after a UPIKE miss to help Langston to a 43-28 lead.
The Lions outscored UPIKE 16-4 over the final six minutes of the half to enter the break with a 45-30 advan-tage.
Much like the start of the game, Langston opened the second half scor-ing the first four points to push the lead to 19.
For the next seven minutes though, UPIKE outscored Langston 11-5, get-ting under the halftime deficit for the first time at 54-41 with a three from Devin Conley.
Two possessions later, it was Conley coming through again as she lost the handle on the fast break, but recovered at the top of the key to bury a second straight three.
It got UPIKE within 10 at 56-46 with just over 10 minutes left.
Ten points became the stopping point for the Bears’ runs for the next several minutes as they cut the defi-cit there multiple times. The break-through finally came with 3:50 to go when Jamie Castle delivered a layup to get within eight.
Quigley grabbed a board on the other end, quickly pushed it ahead to Kayla Day for an easy two and sud-denly UPIKE had new life within six at 70-64.
The comeback continued as Castle swiped a steal out of the hands of Holmes, drew a foul and made one free throw to get within five.
Following a one-for-two showing at the stripe by Langston, Quigley cut into the deficit even further with a la-yup on the other end, but four points would be as close as UPIKE would get as Langston took care of business at the Bears’ last few attempts were off the mark.
UPIKE ends its season with a 23-9 overall record. Langston advanced to the second round now at 28-3.

UPIKE men win NAIA tourney opener KANSAS CITY, Mo. — UPIKE
was outrebounded 57-40 and had its top scorer Kenny Manigault limited to six first-half minutes with early foul trouble, but still found a way to win 94-86 against Bethel (Tenn.) in the first round of the NAIA National Championship on Thursday.
Macari Brooks pushed the UPIKE (26-5) offense with a team-high 21 points, while Michael Eneh made the most of a starting role with three points and eight big rebounds. The Bears shot 46.9 percent from the field while limiting the Wildcats to a 37.9-percent showing.
Free throws paid off for the Bears as well, hitting 30 of 40, compared to 18 of 31 for Bethel.
The Wildcats were led by Caleb
Hardy with 31 points and 11 rebounds, while Mikel Terrance also posted a double-double of 16 points and 11 boards.
Bethel (23-9) was on the attack ear-ly and often, doing its best to get the Bears in foul trouble.
The plan worked perfectly over the first several minutes as the Bears had a 6-2 foul advantage with 13:05 on the clock. Two of those fouls were on Manigault, putting him on the bench for the rest of the half.
Despite the circumstances, the Bears found energy from a breakaway, one-handed slam from Eneh energized the team. It was only a 9-8 lead for UPIKE before the dunk, but it started a 14-2 run to see it go up by 13 points.
It wasn’t only UPIKE ready to go
on a run as the Wildcats went to work on the offensive glass and answered with a 14-2 burst of their own. At the end of the rally, it was back to a one-point game with UPIKE on top 25-24. It didn’t stop there either as the Bears came right back with an 8-0 run and led 38-29 after a Brooks three with 2:45 left until halftime.
The half closed with back-to-back threes from each team, including one from Trey Rakes in the final seconds to give UPIKE a 41-35 lead at the break.
Bethel scored seven of the first nine points in the second half to make it a two-point game and trimmed it to one on a free throw by Eddie Green at the 15:49 mark.
In danger of trailing for the first
time in the game, it was Brooks com-ing through again with a big 3-pointer. Three minutes later he hit another one deep in the corner and UPIKE had its lead back in double figures at 60-50 for the first time since being up 20-10.
Bethel wouldn’t go away in the later stages of the game, keeping within six points at 75-69 on a bucket from Hardy. With 5:30 to play it was still a six-point game at 79-73 after a pair of Bethel free throws, then on its next possession Green made a basket to trim it to four.
With 2:34 to play, it was still a four-point lead for the Bears until K.K. Simmons and Manigault converted two straight fast-break chances to quickly push out to an 88-80 advan-tage.
Following an offensive board on a missed lob to Brooks, Manigault called for it at the top of the key and drove straight to the cup to go back up by 10 with a minute to go. The Wild-cats briefly got back within eight, but that’s as close as they would get.

History on stage in P’burg this weekendMay House performance moved to new location
PRESTONSBURG — The Friends of Middle Creek invites the public to a play that details eastern Kentucky’s history this weekend.
The play, “A Proud Heritage,” was first performed in 1963 by some of Prestonsburg’s leading families.
This weekend, students at the Piarist School in Martin have dedicated their time to perform their interpretation of the play, written by local historian Henry Scalf to celebrate the role east-ern Kentucky played in the Civil War.
Working with the Friends of Middle Creek, the Piarist School will host performances of the play at 1:50 p.m.
and 7 p.m. on Friday, March 20, at the school in Martin and at 4 p.m. on Sat-urday, March 21, at the Family Life Center of the First United Methodist Church, located at 256 S. Arnold Ave. in Prestonsburg.
The Prestonsburg viewing was pre-viously scheduled to be held at the historic May House in Prestonsburg, but the event had to be changed after inclement weather caused problems at the May House.
Admission is free and the Pres-tonsburg Tourism Commission and Visitor’s Bureau is sponsoring light refreshments for attendees at the Pres-tonsburg viewing.

Editor’s note: Pikeville Independent School will host its 100-year reunion on July 30-Aug. 1, 2015. This is the ninth in a series of monthly articles that explore the history of
the school. This article, focused on the school in the 1990s, was taken from historical information collected by Ann Carty and Randy Roberts.
The very first Pikeville High School All-Year Reunion, “Together Again,” was held on the 75th anniversary of the school’s founding. It was organized by the Alumni Association and its direc-tor, Cathie Mueller.
On Saturday, August 4, 1990, 650 PHS alumni attended the event at the Pikeville College Gymnasium and honored five Distinguished Alumni.
Mayor Walter May, president/CEO of Pikeville Medical Center, was the Master of Ceremonies. People who had not been back to Pikeville in 50 years saw how the city had changed, and there were hugs and kisses, mem-ories shared, old acquaintances and friends who had not seen each other in years sharing times like they hap-pened yesterday. It all happened that day.
Five alumni were honored. William C. Hopkins (1963), a nuclear engineer for Bechtel Corporation, was honored in science. Columbus “Buster” Norris (1938), was honored in business and finance. Raymond Setser (1961), cap-tain of a nuclear submarine, was hon-ored for military service. Author Alice Justice Kinder (1940) was honored in literature. Carl P. Mims (1933), long-time chemistry and physics teacher, was honored in education.
Columbus Norris set up a scholar-ship for college-bound seniors. It is
still one of the most coveted scholar-ships offered by the Alumni Associa-tion. The first Norris scholarship was awarded to John Kelly, son of David and Vicki Kelly.
In 1990, Gov. Wallace Wilkinson signed into law the Kentucky Edu-cational Reform Act. This ushered in a whole new curriculum and method of teaching students. Testing and as-sessment was in the forefront and was mandated by the state.
In 1994, PHS introduced a block scheduling which included eight 90- minute classes, alternating on two different days. Superintendent of Pub-lic Instruction, Thomas Boysen and a team from the Kentucky Depart-ment of Education, visited PHS. They elected to come to Pikeville because of the outstanding KIRIS scores in the most recent assessment and because of the progressive activities initiated by the teachers. Instructional Supervi-sor Anne Keene was a leader in these concepts, and in that same year, she received her doctorate from Columbia University.
In 1996, the academic team won the regional championship and Brent Coleman was named the News Express Pike County Offensive Player of the Year by Pike County coaches. Brent rushed for 2,396 yards.
Pikeville City Schools bid farewell
to 17 employees with a total of 444 years of service in 1997: Robyn Wal-ters, Toby Wagner, Leta Baharestan, Brenda Salyer, Betty McGuire, Flo Ann Young, Phyllis May, Sylvia Bai-ley, J. Layne Tackett, Pat Green, James B. Williamson, Patty Dee Smith, Col-leen Fletcher, Gene Davis, Emma Ray, Delphia McKinney, and John Waddell, Superintendent.
The Girls’ Varsity Cheerleaders won the national title in the freshman di-vision at the National High School Cheerleading competition in Florida, under the supervision of Lisa Wheeler, their sponsor.
David Thomas finished his last year in 1997 as head baseball coach for the Panthers. Thomas coached 10 victori-ous years, winning nine out of 10 dis-trict tourneys and three straight 15th
Regional tournaments. He was recog-nized as the coach with the most wins in PHS baseball history with a record of 232-127.
The year 1998 brought the second year of School to Work, a state-spon-sored program designed to give stu-dents a taste of real life jobs experienc-es. The same year, the Girls’ Varsity Cheerleaders won several awards, but the biggest was 15th Region-at-Large Kentucky Class A State Champs.
In 1999, the Boys Basketball team brought home the 15th Region Cham-pionship trophy and earned the right to play in Rupp Arena. A new group was formed that same year by Bena Brewer Hartsock. The newly formed squad, the PHS Dance Team, show-cased their talents at basketball and football games.
Pikeville High grew even more in the 1990s
Pikeville High School Highlights of the 1990s:•Jon Stratton and Tom Swartz sponsored the Fellowship of Christian Ath-
letes in 1991-92.•DeAnthony Honaker was named All State football and won a University of
Kentucky scholarship.•The Girls’ Varsity Cheerleaders won the state championship and their coach
Lisa Wheeler was named Kentucky Cheerleading Coach of the Year.•Tripp Cooke and Prithu Mettu were invited to Duke University’s Summer
Residential Program for gifted students.•PHS lost a longtime coach in the death of John Bill Trivette.•The premature death of Ronnie “Junior” Williamson saddened the school
and community. He managed athletic teams from 1956-86, and was responsible for lobbying in Frankfort for a bill introduced by John Doug Hays to build a rest stop at the Natural Bridge exit.
•The PHS golf team won the KIT for the first time, and Grover Justice was named to the All State Golf Team.
•A scholarship fund was established in memory of Jack Cauley, class of 1980, who died in January 1993. His scholarship helps a deserving football player who needs financial assistance to attend college.
•Stephanie Cline, a fifth grader at PES and a member of the United States team for the World Games, journeyed to Portugal to compete in power tum-bling. She placed second in a field of 40!
•In 1995, PHS welcomed new principal Gilbert Shely, Royce Mayo, Cheryl King and Katherine Coleman.
The first five alumni honored at the first reunion in 1990.
A scholar-ship was formed in honor of Jack Cau-ley, a 1980 graduate who died in 1993.

PRESTONSBURG — Several lo-cal organizations are asking eastern Kentucky residents to help in “Bring-ing Down the Storm on Dirtiness” at Operation Clean Sweep this weekend.
Registration for the event will be-gin at 9 a.m. at the Jenny Wiley State Resort Park golf course parking lot. A complimentary cookout will be pro-vided at noon for all volunteers at the park’s dance pad at the campground. Volunteers who pick up two bags of trash will also receive free T-shirts for their service, as supplies last.
Hundreds of volunteers of all ages
usually assist in the event, picking up garbage around the park and Dewey Lake. This year, assistance is greatly needed because of recent flooding.
This event comes as 17th Annual Commonwealth Cleanup Week (March 21-28) is recognized statewide.
Volunteers from across the state pick up trash along highways and in communities throughout the week. Last year, more than 20,000 Ken-tucky volunteers picked up more than 108,000 bags of trash and 1,000 tires during the event.

Page 32 ◆ Medical Leader ◆ www.medicalleader.org ◆ March 20, 2015(EDITOR’S NOTE:(EDITOR’S NOTE:( The following letter praising PMC’s Oncology staff was written by Crystal Mullins Prater, daughter of PMC patient Everett
Douglas Mullins. At the beginning of January, my dad, Everett Douglas Mullins, was seen in the emergency room at Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) because of severe weakness. Assuming he was struggling to get over the flu, we thought he would be sent home after receiving a shot or given antibi-otics. We even made plans to go eat afterwards. Unfortunately, we found out he had cancer in his lung, which had spread to his liver. Several tests later, it was determined that his cancer had progressed to the point that treatment was not an option. His battle with cancer was short, passing away only 10 days later. I have a great appreciation now for the doctors, nurses, aids and even housekeepers employed with PMC, especially those on the 8th floor oncology unit. These ladies and gentlemen must be angels blessed with some special type of love. I can’t remember all of their names, but I know I will never forget the smiles they shared and sadness they showed after his passing. Mae Adkins would come in and run her fingers through my daddy’s hair and [tell] him how thick it was. She would come in singing and even though I knew she was very busy, she listened to his stories. When it was required for him to sit up, he would lay his head on her shoulder because he was too weak to hold it up by himself. Shaina Walker was a night nurse who was very gentle. On a restless night, it took him a while to doze off. She was able to check his blood pressure without waking him. Court-ney Belcher always called him Dougie. He always listened to her when she tried to persuade him to take his medicines. Daddy thought James Stanley, “Jimbo,” was his doctor. When he needed help, Daddy wanted him to come lift him because he didn’t want to hurt the girls. Among a million other things, Tammy Strong would put up his pain medicine drip. I saw her in the hallway the day Daddy passed away and she had tears in her eyes. Natalie Coleman, Robin Adkins and Ashley Thacker also need to be mentioned. So many other people helped take care of my daddy, but the names have already left me. One of the nurses always would say that the IV poles weren’t “short- people-friendly.” All of these people are saints in my eyes. The staff of PMC made the last 10 days of my daddy’s life a little brighter. They act as though each patient is the only one they have and come back the next day to do it all over again. I know each of them will have a special crown in Heaven and I’m sure my daddy will be right there to help present it to you. PMC and all of Pikeville are truly blessed to have this wonderful group of people available. They treat our family members as one of their own, with hearts of gold. They have the ability to let go and move on to another day, where a new family member will join, or leave them. Each of the staff holds a small piece of my heart and I’m sure their rewards will be great!We found out he had cancer in his lung, which had spread to his liver.

Cancer patient praises PMC
National Traumatic Brain Injury Month
Teresa Combs
By TORIE FOWLER����������������������
PIKEVILLE — Dur-ing a routine exam with Pikeville Medi-
GYN Dr. Angela Mag-gard, Teresa Combs expressed concern of “just not feeling right.”
It was determined that Teresa needed a biopsy, which Dr. Maggard did the same day. Soon after, Te-resa was diagnosed with endometrial can-cer and referred to PMC Gynecological
Gallion. Combs said, “Dr.
Maggard listened to my concerns and quickly made a diag-nosis. I trusted her and she made me feel comfortable seeing Dr. Gallion for surgery.”
The cancer was more serious than what was originally suspected.
Dr. Gallion per-formed a total hyster-ectomy and found that the cancer had spread to her right ovary.
A treatment plan was created by Dr.
Gallion and PMC
Dr. Vickie Morgan. Combs would undergo three chemotherapy treatments followed by 28 radiation treatments and three more chemo-therapy treatments.
currently sees PMC
Dr. Brad Collett.She said, “It was
amazing to me how well the team com-municated with one another. Everyone al-ready knew about me when I walked in. It’s
more than just reading a chart. All of the phy-sicians that I have seen knew the plan that was created, where I was at in the plan and all about my history. I commend them for that.”
Combs also thanked the nurses, reception-ists and customer ser-vice attendants at PMC and the Leonard Law-son Cancer Center. She said they provide anything patients want or need.

I have a great appreciation now for the doctors, nurses, aids and even housekeepers employed with PMC, especially those on the 8th floor oncology unit.
