LOUISVILLE (AP) —A federal appeals courton Tuesday cleared theway for Kentucky judi-cial candidates to raisemoney and run withpolitical party affilia-tions, but ordered alower court to considerwhether the candidatescan offer specific posi-tions on issues.

Judge Jeffrey Suttonof the Cincinnati-basedU.S. 6th Circuit Court ofAppeals said banning

campaign fundraisingand party affiliationsviolated the FirstAmendment’s guaranteeof free speech.

“Elections are elec-tions, and the sameFirst Amendmentapplies to all of them,”Sutton wrote for thethree-judge panel.

In 2008, U.S. DistrictJudge Karen Caldwellalso threw out theKentucky Judicial

Conduct Commission’srule against judicialcandidates identifyingthemselves by party andraising money, but sheupheld a ban on judicialcandidates takingstands on specificissues.

Judge Thomas B.Wiseman of the 6thCircuit said he wouldhave upheld the ban oncandidates professing astand on specific issues.

Wiseman said candi-dates know when such astance has been takenand states can deal withthose on a case-by-casebasis.

“Is there any doubtabout a commitmentwhen a candidate pro-fesses to believe lifebegins at conception?”Wiseman wrote. “Isthere any committedbias in favor of a politi-cal party when a candi-

date for judge states a’strong belief in theright to keep and beararms’?”

James Bopp, a TerreHaute, Ind., attorneywho represented theplaintiff, said the rulingbrings judicial cam-paigns into line withother political races.

At the regular monthlymeeting of the E-911Advisory Board onMonday, chairman DavidMcGill told members ofthe board a HomelandSecurity grant had beenapplied for to finish thecounty’s radio communi-cation project.

“I’m hoping we’ll getthis grant to finish thisproject up,” said McGill.“It’s been a pretty expen-sive project and we’vehad to apply for grants inphases. We did get start-ed earlier than most thistime with all the newchanges, and I hopeHomeland Security willsee this and allow us tofinish the project.”

Board member HarlanCounty Sheriff MarvinLipfird said the sheriff’sdepartment and emer-gency management hadbeen testing to see howthings were going to workwith the project.

“Dead spots that we’vealways had in places likeCranks, Cloverlick andLynch — we don’t havethose anymore,” saidLipfird. “Naturally, you’llhave a few spots withhandhelds, but withmobiles, we’ve not hadany problems. I can’t waituntil we get the rest ofthe stuff up. We need tostart talking about phas-ing in some other agen-cies to experiment andsee how it goes.”

Lipfird said after read-ing an article in theHarlan Daily Enterprise

recentlyabout firedepart-mentradios notworkinginBenham,he went toBenham

to check out the situation. “I was never called

about this problem,” saidLipfird. “I never gaveBenham FireDepartment any radios.If they had told me therewas a problem I wouldhave contacted DavidMcGill to correct theproblem. They’re talkingon a handheld, standingin Benham, trying to talkto someone in Louellen.These radios are just notdesigned to do that. Themobile radios, inside ourvehicles, put out higherwattage. I drove all theway to Lynch — drove upside streets and spent allafternoon Friday in theTri-City area, talking onthe Disaster andEmergency Serviceschannel. I didn’t have anyproblems. I told themayor, if there was aproblem, we wouldaddress it.”

McGill said he and for-mer E-911 chairman DanMosley had given theradios to the BenhamFire Department.

“When we gave theradios to them, we toldthem there would besome growing pains,” saidMcGill. “Once everythingwas up and going, I told

Loyall residents LarryLively and Bill Durstineattended Tuesday’s meetingof the Loyall City Councilwhere they voiced concernsabout alleyways, sidewalksand recreation for the city.

Lively said he was con-cerned over complaintslodged against his use of analleyway located betweenJohnnie and Marie streets inthe city.

“You’ve been over to myhouse several times, mayor,”said Lively. “Once at 11 p.m.when I was doing a littlehammering out in my build-ing on my patio. You told meto keep the noise down, whichI did. Prior to that, I was inthe alley and on my propertyusing my bobcat, when yougot a call from Pete Vowell. Iwas trying to get concreteslabs out of the ground on my

property. I was taking somedirt out of my yard putting itin the alleyway.”

Mayor ClarenceLongworth told Lively whenhe investigated the com-plaint, he saw an area wherethe grass in the alley hadbeen scooped up and theground had been “cut downquite a bit.” Longworth saidthere was a manhole in thatarea and it appeared Livelyhad gotten close to it with hisbobcat.

“I was trying to level thealley up,” said Lively. “Stacy(Smith) never says anythingwhen I put something in thealley temporary. It’s PeteVowell. It doesn’t even affectPete Vowell if I put some-thing in that alley temporari-ly and I’ve never blocked thatalley completely.”

Longworth said Lively wasnot the only one who hadblocked a city alley. He said

In other board action,members voted to pur-chase 50 new pagers, withamplified chargers, fromTri-State Electronics inHarlan, for approximately$12,000.

“We always go cheap as

possible when we buythings,” said Lipfird. “Youget what you pay for. Ithink it’s time we step up,bite the bullet, buy somequality pagers that aregoing last and receiveproperly. If my family’s inan accident, I want ChrisAllen there as soon as pos-sible, as anyone of uswould.”

The board voted to pur-chase two microwavetransmitter dishes fromTri-State Electronics for

approximately $5,000.“When lightening hits

the dishes, they are down,”said Lipfird. “We need tohave equipment like thison hand to put in placewhen one goes down.”

Carey Johnson, of Tri-State Electronics, saidbecause of their contractwith the E-911 board, theywould repair the disheswhen they go down and ifnew dishes were pur-chased they would keepany replacement dish

ready to go if one wentdown.

“If we buy two now,we’ll always have replace-ments to rotate in and outwhen they go down,” saidMcGill.

The board also voted toallow board memberRaymond Day to purchasetwo chairs for the HarlanCounty 911 Center, locat-ed at Kentucky StatePolice Post 10, with a capof $2,500.

there was a family with aprivacy fence blocking analleyway just across thestreet from Lively. He saidthe post office had a porchbuilt across an alley and hewasn’t sure if they had aneasement to do that.

“We’ve got people withcarports on them, privacyfences, garages and gatesblocking them off complete-ly,” Longworth said. “I’mstarting to get more andmore complaints about thisand you were one of them.What it’s going to come downto is, if we open one, we haveto open them all. If they don’thave something in writingshowing they have permis-sion to permanently block analley — it’s going to have tocome down. We have to treateveryone alike.”

Longworth said blockingcity alleyways was an issuethat had not been enforcedfor years and it had “gotten

out of hand.”“The complaints are com-

ing in,” said Longworth.“People are parking in alleys.People can’t walk through toget to the store or things.What’s fair for one is fair forall. If I go after one, I’ve gotto go after all of them.”

In another discussion,Durstine, pastor of theLoyall Church of God, askedcouncil members what couldbe done about sidewalks,which had been blacktoppedover and were no longer dis-tinguishable, and if therecreation building on ParkHill could be reopened.

Longworth said grants fornew sidewalks had beenrequested for the city butturned down. He said thecity would continue to reap-ply for grants until helpcould be received for theproblem. He said besidessidewalks, parking was oneof the biggest problems inthe city with people parkingon sidewalks and the streets.

“We need to get thestreets stripped and signsposted telling people where

to park and not park,” saidLongworth.

Longworth said the cityhad applied for grants torefurbish the city swimmingpool but had been unsuccess-ful to this point.

“Our last bid was$300,000 to restore theswimming pool and redo thekiddy pool,” said Longworth.“You have to have funds todo it. Right now, the countyhas $500,000 for a waterpark, which is good for threemonths out of the year.

“My goal is to get our poolgoing — get a grant toenclose it and you’d havesomething year round. Youcould hire someone to run itfull time year round. Youcould turn the recreationbuilding into activities forthe kids — snack bar andparties. This would take a lotof support and I haven’tfound that support. It’s ashame it’s just sitting therenot being used. I’m not sug-gesting the county give us$500,000, but it sure wouldbe nice if they’d think aboutit.”

would have campaigns for judicialoffice and candidates could not dothings like this that are so basic torunning for office,” Bopp said.

The decision could affect Ohio,where judicial candidates arebarred from identifying a partyaffiliation after the primary elec-tion.

“It would certainly make it unen-forceable,” Bopp said of Ohio’s rule.“That doesn’t mean they may nottry to enforce it. But, it certainlymakes it unenforceable.”

The Ohio Attorney General’soffice filed a brief in the case seek-ing to uphold the state’s ban. TedHart, a spokesman for the OhioAttorney General’s Office, saidoffice is analyzing the decision andits possible impact on the state,even though the ruling didn’t direct-ly address Ohio.

Tennessee, also part of the 6thCircuit, allows party affiliation,while in Michigan, political partiesgenerally pick the state SupremeCourt nominees, but candidates runon a nonpartisan ballot. Justicesalso can nominate themselves and

run independently of the parties.A messages left for Greg Hovious,

an attorney for the KentuckyJudicial Conduct Commission, wasnot immediately returned Tuesday.

Former Kentucky RepublicanParty official Marcus Carey, wholost the 2006 race to KentuckySupreme Court Justice WilSchroeder, challenged Kentucky’srule that said judicial candidatesmust not “intentionally or reckless-ly” make a statement that could beperceived “by a reasonable person”as committing them to rule a cer-tain way on an issue they couldhear.

The new rule was drafted after ajudge struck down a previous onethat prevented judicial candidatesfrom making statements that “com-mit or appear to commit” to posi-tions on cases they likely wouldhear.

Seven states, including Texas,Louisiana and Pennsylvania,already allow judicial candidates torun affiliated with a political party.Nine other states, including NorthCarolina, Oregon and Wisconsin,ban judges from running as politi-cally affiliated. Fourteen states thatelect or vote to retain judges haveno comparable rule.

"Deep Spill 2" soundslike a sequel to aHollywood thriller.

Unfortunately, it ismore of a reality show."Deep Spill 2" is the nameof an ambitious series ofproposed scientific experi-ments that should be hap-pening right now.Scientists from aroundthe globe are ready, liter-ally, to dive in to under-stand what is happeningwith the oil and gas thatare spewing into the Gulfof Mexico with the force ofa volcano.

There is one problem,though: BP won't letthem.

Ira Leifer is a scientiston the government-appointed Flow RateTechnical Group and aresearcher in the MarineScience Institute at theUniversity of California,Santa Barbara. He organ-ized a team of scientists todevelop intensive study ofthe Deepwater Horizon oilgusher, since so little isknown about how oil andgas behave underwater,especially at the depthsand temperatures onemile below the surface.The group of scientistspresented the plan to BP,which ignored them, thento Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., of the HouseEnergy and CommerceCommittee. Markey wroteto BP on June 10:

"My understanding is

that BP has not yetresponded to Dr. Leifer'srequest to make directflow measurement. ... Irequest that you providewhatever budget andROV (robotic vehicle)access is needed to allowthese scientists to deploytheir measurement activi-ties."

A month later, Dr.Leifer told me: "We haveheard nothing from BP. ...Other scientists I knowwho are doing and tryingto do research find them-selves blocked at everyturn from actually learn-ing what we need to knowso we can address thisspill safely."

Ten years ago, scien-tists conducted "DeepSpill 1," a limited, 750-barrel controlled releaseoff the coast of Norway, tostudy deep-sea oil spillphenomena. The lack ofscientific knowledge ofdeep-water oil disastersallows BP officials likeTony Hayward to pro-nounce, as he did in lateMay, that "The oil is onthe surface. ... Therearen't any plumes."

So, while BP scientists,

executives and public-relations experts producesound bites with theirown fake "news teams,"the world's leadingexperts are being shut outby BP itself.

Also shut out in the BPGulf disaster are themedia. The Coast Guardhas announced new ruleskeeping the public,including photographersand reporters coveringthe spill, from comingwithin 65 feet of anyresponse vessels or boomson the water or on beach-es. Violators could face afine of up to $40,000 andfelony charges. In order toget within the 65-footlimit, media must getdirect permission fromthe Coast Guard captainof the Port of NewOrleans.

The 65-foot limit fol-lows the rule requiringoverhead flights withmedia to stay above 3,000feet. Just like the Bushadministration barringphotographs of flag-draped coffins, the Obamaadministration seems tobe colluding with BP tolimit the images of thedisaster. With currentrules, and with photogra-phers potentially facingfelony charges, you canexpect far fewer photosand videos of oil-soakedpelicans and dying seaturtles.

showing how woefullyinadequate the cleanup is,as 4 million gallons of oiljet into the Gulf everyday.

Stories of denial ofmedia access accumulatelike tar balls on the beach(which have now madetheir way into Louisiana'sLake Pontchartrain andto beaches in Texas)."PBS NewsHour"reporters were repeatedlydenied access to aDepartment of Healthand Human Services"National DisasterMedical System" trailer,ringed with barbed wire.A "CBS Evening News"crew on a boat was accost-ed by another boat withfive BP contractors andtwo U.S. Coast Guardmembers, and deniedaccess to an oil-drenchedbeach.

Dr. Leifer sees report-ing as an essential part ofthe overall process:

"Reporters havingaccess is part of the learn-ing process as a society sothat when there are acci-dents in the future, weactually can respondintelligently and not witha lot of unknown assump-tions."

If only BP and the fed-eral government allowedinformation to flow asfreely as the oil, we mightwell be on the road todealing with this catastro-phe.

MORE ON EGALI-TARIANISM: A fewweeks ago, I commentedon egalitarianism run-ning wild in evening theegos of students graduat-ing from high school byanointing several stu-dents the once prestigioustitle of valedictorianrather than honoring thegraduating senior whohad accomplished a pin-nacle, the highest grade ofhis graduating class.“Valedictorian” itself doesnot mean the highest, butsimply “farewell sayer,”but by established usagehas become an award forthe achievement of thehighest grade of the class.But diluting the syrupweakens the taste.

Why am I repeatingmyself? I’m not repeatingmyself but adding to dis-may. Mark Theissen, awriter for The New YorkTimes, reports in the peri-odical The American, thatStratford High School inHouston had 30 valedicto-rians, while eight highschools in the St. VrainValley of Colorado named94 as valedictorians, andhe says further that thedean of admissions atHarvard had heard ofschools with more than100 valedictorians. Ithink that I would almostrather be remembered forthe most F’s than one of adozen “highest scorers.”Wimbledon has only onewinner at the end of themen’s competition, onewinner at the end of thewomen’s competition, onewinner couple at the endof the doubles competi-tion. And the Olympicshas only one winner (orone winning group) ineach event.

If there is any consola-tion (and there isn’t forme), college football hasexpanded from four post-season bowls to a dozen ormore so that no collegecould feel hurt that it hadbeen overlooked as goodenough to play anothergame for the title of MissPomegranate or somesuch. And the NCAA hasgrown from sixteen col-leges to almost all the col-leges in the country.

So much for achieve-ment . . .

And almost on thesame page, we find (bygovernment fiat, no less)we mustn’t hurt anyone’sfeelings by discriminat-ing. Case in point: TheBoy Scouts of America,who decline to appoint ahomosexual asScoutmaster, and whoinsist on the inclusion ofGod (the Christian God)as the ultimate scoutmas-ter. In Philadelphia, thecity many years agoallowed the usage of a citybuilding in return forwhich the Scouts wouldupgrade and maintain(for many tens of thou-sands of dollars). Now itis kicking the Scouts outbecause they “discrimi-nate” by maintainingtheir allegiance to Godand declining to appointhomosexual scoutmas-ters. And as an aside,President Obama not longago accepted BSA’s hon-

orary presidency, but hasdelayed signing EagleScout certificates,declined attendance atBSA’s 100th anniversarygala, among some otherthings.

It has been said“Achievement is its ownreward,” and it is. Buteven if one is not celebrat-ed for achievement, tohave it downplayed, com-munized, is demoralizing,and does not encouragethose who follow to strivefor the best. And withoutthose “drivers,” we aredoomed to sink into obliv-ion. Have you seen worldratings of the UnitedStates lately?Plummeting.

* * * * *PROSTITUTION: No,

not the sexual type – themoral type. A newMuslim mosque is aboutto be erected. So What?This is a free country, andit has allowed the birthand growth of many “reli-gions,” real or so-called,without significant dam-age. The problem is thatIslam is more than a reli-gion — it is a way of life,and it strongly pursuesone of its basic mandates,namely — GROW andCONTROL! I have writ-ten of this before, and willnot belabor the point,except to note that thismosque is proposed forthe site of one of the build-ings caught in the infa-mous and horrendous andunprovoked Islamic 9/11attack on New York City.That attack has beenprosecuted as an attack ofnaughty boys, not as thecriminal act of terror by aforeign culture (which itclearly was).

And now, to add insult

to injury, to rub our collec-tive noses in the dust,that foreign culture pro-poses a monument toitself on the site of itscalumny. One needs onlyto observe France, TheNetherlands, andEngland particularly, tosee clearly the pattern ofinfiltration and acquisi-tion of power by Islam.We allow ourselves to bemanipulated time andagain by this odious andinvidious power structuremasquerading as a reli-gion. (Disclaimer: not allMuslims are radicallybloodthirsty.)

How long will it takefor us to react appropri-ately to the threat to ourexistence?

Russia apparently sent spies to live among us toachieve ... well who knows what they hoped toachieve? But let’s return the favor and sendAmericans to infiltrate an old Russian client state ...communist Cuba.

Americans have been forbidden to travel to Cubafor decades. That Cold War-era travel ban, along withthe equally pointless trade embargo, never hurt theCastro regime but it impinged on Americans’ freedomto travel and it hurt American business and agricul-ture.

This week, the House Agriculture Committeeapproved the Travel Restriction Reform and ExportEnhancement Act, which would lift the travel ban andallow the sale of more American produce and goods toCuba.

We can’t imagine a more subversive act than infil-trating a communist island with a good dose of capital-ism. An invasion force of American tourists wieldingAmerican dollars in blunt instrument fashion seemslike a revolutionary strategy for capturing the heartsand minds of everyday Cubans. This at a time whentheir ruling regime is tottering from age and, increas-ingly, irrelevance.

As U.S. Rep. Collin C. Peterson, D-Minn., said inbacking the Act this week, sending Americans andAmerican goods to Cuba will “show the Cuban peoplehow great democracy can be.”

The Russian spies who infiltrated here did theirbest to live the American dream. InfiltratingAmericans to Cuba, openly, might cause Cubans toaspire to do the same.

Everyone is well awareof the potentially dangerousand devastating effects amother's postpartumdepression carries with it.While this serious reactionto giving birth is a problemfor a minority of women, it'ssomething everyone knowsto watch out for. But whatabout the fathers? Theydon't give birth, or havewildly fluctuating hor-mones, yet they too are sus-ceptible to the baby blues.This quiz explores the phe-nomenon of dads' postpar-tum depression.

1. New research showsthat male postpartumdepression is more wide-spread than previouslybelieved.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )2. Men have special diffi-

culties because of their gen-der when it comes to post-partum depression.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )3. Most women lavish

attention on their husbandswhen they become newmothers and fathers.

TRUE ( ) FALSE ( )

ANSWERS:1. TRUE. After decades

of attention being paid towomen's postpartumdepression, men finally are getting the spotlight turnedon them. Studies show thatsomewhere between 10 per-cent and 25 percent offathers have trouble copingwith their new status. Thejournal of the American

Medical Association, in ananalysis of 28,000 peopleacross 43 studies, reportsthat a quarter of newfathers develop depressionby the time the child is 6months old.

2. TRUE. The father isexpected to be there as astrong support system forthe wife and baby, and oftenwill hide any feelings orsymptoms of his own forfear that he is not beingmanly or responsible

enough. He often returns towork, doesn't bond and isafraid of hurting the fragilebaby. No one is looking outfor his signs of depression,as all eyes are on mom andbaby.

3. FALSE. If there is astereotype of the forgottenhusband, relegated to tak-ing out the trash and feed-ing the dog after the baby isborn, it may have somevalidity in the typical house-hold.

Less than a week ago, itwas my honor and privi-lege to write and deliverthe eulogy at JaneCarroll’s funeral service.Many of you have asked forcopies, so I will share my“musings” with you, herfriends and my readers.

Jane Forester CarrollFebruary 25, 1944-

Jane Forester CarrollIn Carson McCuller’s

play, “Member of theWedding,” 12 year old,tomboyish, lanky FrankieAddams in a rash momentof insecurity and self-pityran away from home lateone stormy afternoon, onlyto return home quite a fewhours later, frightened,and to find that her sixyear-old cousin, bespecta-cled John Henry, had sud-denly taken sick withmeningitis, in her absenceand died of a high fever.

She was shocked andstunned by the reality ofhis death. She told herfamily’s cook, BerniceSadie Brown, “Well, I’velearned one thing tonight.This old world sure is asudden place.”

And all of us right noware feeling like the charac-ter in that play, shockedand stunned by the sud-denness of Jane’s passing.

During the 66 yearsGod gave her on this

earth, who was she? JaneForester Carroll. For onething, she was a very pri-vate person. Yet, much ofwhat she did during heradult life was surprisinglyconspicuous.

When Will called meand asked me to partici-pate in this service andwhen I reluctantly accept-ed the tragic news as fact,I asked some of Jane’s col-leagues, a neighbor, herhairdresser, a friend or so,“What first comes to yourmind when you hear thename Jane Carroll?”

A fellow teacheranswered without hesita-tion, “A brilliant mind,just brilliant.”

A former student emot-ed “Marvelous teacher,Marvelous- tough butMarvelous!”

A neighbor mused,“She was so friendly,always waved at me smil-ing when she drove by. I’llnever forget her smile.”

A dear friend thoughtfor a moment and thensaid, “Her laugh. Sheloved to laugh and alwaysclapped her hands togeth-er when she got tickled.She loved funny stories.I’ll always remember herlaughter. She had a greatsense of humor, who elsebut Jane would have ahound dog named chick-en?”

Her own mother said of

her one night rather wist-fully as she sat on ThelmaHoward’s front porchswing, “I think Janie hasdone a real good job rais-ing those two boys.”

And Bill said to me inJay’s one morning as hewas having his honey bunand coffee, “Jane has beena lifesaver, you knowthat? A real honest to Godlifesaver.”

Her family attendedthe Methodist Churchwhen the boys were little.We enjoyed them so much,especially Will. We neverknew what he’d do or sayduring “Children’sMoments.”

One Sunday heinformed us his dad hadshot a rat, and showed ushow big it was; anotherSunday he told us he’dreleased the brake on thefamily car and had steeredit off Marsee Drive ontoNorth Main St... with noserious mishap, thankgoodness. Then, on anoth-er occasion the ministerasked the children if theywere particularly thankfulfor anything that day andWill raised his hand. Hesaid, “I’ve just been think-ing this morning that I’mthankful for... MOSES.”His mother laughed thatwonderful laugh of hers.So loving, so understand-ing, so nurturing, so proudand supportive of thosetwo boys, Will and Jon.

What was she like as asister? Jane was herbrother’s best friend, aconfidante and the presi-dent of his fan club. Eachtime Karl’s judicial careerclimbed a little higher

until he eventuallyreached the very acme ofhis profession, she wassooooo proud. Proud of hisachievement and proud ofthe way others respectedhim and held him in suchhigh esteem.

As for being a mother,she played that role twice.She cared for, loved andnurtured her own twochildren and became asurrogate mother to heraging parents as theyreached a stage in theirlives where they weresome what child-like. Shetook them out for meals,took them on almost dailyscenic drives and took hermother regularly to thehairdresser. She took careof all their banking, med-ical and pharmaceuticalneeds. As a matter of fact,she said every time shewrote a check, no matterwhere, she automaticallymade it out to CVSPharmacy, from habit.

As for being a grand-mother, she lit up whenshe laid eyes on her fourgrandchildren, burst intowide grins asnd shook herhead and rolled her eyeswhen she talked aboutthem whenever you mether.

She adored them andwas amazed by them.Their antics; their tryingto say her name; their lov-ing the flip-flops she gavethem to the point of notwanting to take them off,even to go to bed.

As a teacher she was aslight in stature butpacked a heavy academicwallop.

She has the distinction

of joining the annals ofHarlan IndependentSchool’s no-nonsenseteachers whose names arepreceded by “that oldmean.” First, it was herdad’s teacher, AliceSasser. Every time he andFred Howard Sr. gottogether during theiradvanced years, their con-versations dwelled on howstrict Miss Sasser wasback in 1924; then therewas “that old mean LottieMcCoy,” “that old meanMiss Ruth Norsworthy”and later “that old meanMrs. Jane Carroll.” Whatdid they have in common?They all had high expecta-tions for their studentsand pushed them to thepoint of their succeedingeven beyond their ownstandards.

Adage: Good, Better,Best

Never let it rest, untilthe good is better

And the better- Best!Jane must have taken

that as her mantrabecause she led her stu-dents to believe they werecapable of doing better,never settling for secondbest. She simply would notaccept slipshod work if itmeant writing, and writ-ing and writing over andover and OVER again.Many students bristled atMrs. Carroll’s arduousdemands, but returnedfrom their freshman yearin college, to thank her forpreparing them so well.

When her studentswent on to college, she hadthem ready for English101: Chauncer, Ibsen,Shakespeare, metaphors,

similes and onomatopoeiafor starters.

Her students have goneon, out into the world, andhave become successful inmany fields of endeavor.

When she finally hungup her erasers, she wasnot through giving, as ateacher. She taught ahome bound student,showering him with giftseach time she went for alesson.

So the quiet, personallyprivate, seemingly incon-spicuous, little cutie pie,Jane Carroll cut a wide,conspicuous swath afterall.

No Doubt you’veseen the bumper stick-er “If you can read this-thank a teacher.”

I have a bumpersticker here to honorJane Forester Carroll,“If you survived Mrs.Carroll’s SeniorEnglish Class-HONK!!”

I conclude with thewords of the poetess,Emily Dickensen,

“This world is not con-clusion;

A sequel stands beyond, Invisible as music,But positive as sound.”

National League snaps All-Star skid against ALANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) —

One key swing by BrianMcCann pulled the NationalLeague out of the All-Star shad-ows.

McCann’s three-run double inthe seventh inning provided theNL all the offense it needed tocapture its first MidsummerClassic since 1996 with a 3-1 vic-tory Tuesday night.

In a year of dominant pitch-ing, young starters David Priceand Ubaldo Jimenez set the tone— and got even more help fromthe tricky shadows. Nearly theentire field at Angel Stadiumwas bathed in odd patterns of

sunlight for atwilight firstpitch, creatingmore awkwardswings andmisses thanusual in base-ball’s annualtalent show.

Even thatbouncing Rally Monkey on thebig screen in a red AL jerseycouldn’t change things this time.The National League earnshome-field advantage in thisyear’s World Series.

The AL didn’t go down with-out some ninth-inning drama,

started by David Ortiz’s leadoffsingle. But Jonathan Broxtonsealed it, helped by an alert playfrom right fielder Marlon Byrdand shaky baserunning by BigPapi.

Ortiz was on first with oneout when John Buck hit a bloop-er that Byrd scooped up andthrew to second for a forceout onthe slow-moving Boston DH.With Alex Rodriguez standingon the steps in the AL dugout,Ian Kinsler flied out and the NLhad its win.

“It felt awesome for us to getthe win and break the streak,”Broxton said.

Until MVP McCann clearedthe bases, Robinson Cano’s fifth-inning sacrifice fly stood as thelone run in a game expected tobe decided by the loaded pitch-ing staffs on each side. McCann’sdeep fly ball to the warningtrack in right gave the NL hopein the fifth. When he made goodwith that bases-loaded double offMatt Thornton, Atlanta’s steadycatcher hit second base andpumped his right fist. The threeguys who scored headed to thedugout with a renewed swagger.

Cano and his fellow YankeesAll-Stars wore black armbandsafter the death of longtime New

York owner GeorgeSteinbrenner from a heartattack earlier Tuesday inTampa, Fla., at age 80. Picturesof The Boss showed on two videoscreens before a pregamemoment of silence, and flagshung at half-staff.

“It’s a difficult time, on agreat day for baseball, the All-Star game, something everyonelooks to,” Yankees and AL man-ager Joe Girardi said. “A greatman in baseball passed. He’smeant so much to not only thisorganization, but to the game ofbaseball, and to all of us person-ally.”

NEW YORK (AP) —Yogi Berra vowed hewould never talk toGeorge Steinbrenneragain after the ownerfired him as Yankeesmanager 16 games intothe 1985 season.

Fourteenyearslater,Steinbrennerapologizedto Berra,and thetwo endedup closefriends.

That’s the way it waswith “The Boss” — nomiddle ground.

“He said, ’It was theworst mistake in my life,”’Berra said Tuesday at hismuseum in New Jersey.“We became very goodfriends.”

The 80-year-oldSteinbrenner died inTampa, Fla., earlyTuesday after having aheart attack. Tributescame from Yankee greatsto baseball executives toformer President BillClinton and JerrySeinfeld. He wasdescribed only in superla-tives — the way he wouldhave liked it.

“I think he’s a fatherfigure to everyone thatwas in our organization inthe past or present,because he really tookcare of his players,”Yankees captain DerekJeter said.

Harlan preparesto host firststate tourneyBy JOHN MIDDLETON Sports Editor

The best (9-10) All-Star baseball teams fromacross Kentucky willinvade the county thisweekend as Harlan LittleLeague hosts its firststate tournament.

“We have never hosteda state tournament. Withthe way the economy is,we are very fortunate toget this event,” saidHarlan Little LeaguePresident Phillip Dozier.“We will have eight teamsin here for five or six daysand that will bring a lot ofrevenue to the local busi-nesses.”

Harlan Little Leagueofficials have been busymaking various renova-tions to the facilities atHuff Park, including:

Recond-itioningthe con-cessionarea,

Anyone from Arkansasto Arkansas-Pine Bluffcould kick off MarchMadness next year.

The NCAA’s expanded68-team men’s basketballtournament will include afour-game first roundinvolving eight teamsfrom all across theDivision I spectrum. Twoof those initial games willinclude the four lowestseeds in the field — butthe other two will includethe final at-large quali-fiers.

TheNCAAunveiledthe newplanMonday.

All four of the “First Four”games will be broadcaston Turner’s truTV cablechannel. The eight teamswill play early in the firstweek, with the winnersadvancing to games onThursday or Friday.

“I think some peopleare going to look at it andsay it looks like a compro-mise,” said LaingKennedy, a retired Kent

State athletic director whois on the men’s basketballcommittee that developedthe new format. “What welook at is that it reallydoes preserve the integri-ty of the 31 automaticqualifiers.”

The NCAA announcedin April that it would addthree teams to the field,the first expansion sincethe tournament went from64 teams to 65 in 2001.For the last 10 years, thebottom two teams in thefield were sent to an open-ing game before the roundof 64.

That game would

include teams from someof the weakest confer-ences, but the new formatwill offer a bit more vari-ety. The NCAA decidedagainst picking the lowesteight seeds for the newround. Two of the earlygames will match thetournament’s lowestseeds, Nos. 65 through 68,with the winners advanc-ing to play top seeds. Theother two games willmatch the last four at-large qualifiers, meaningtwo teams from powerfulconferences could play thetournament’s first game.

“You’re not going to

come up with the perfectmodel,” committee chairDan Guerrero said.“You’re not going to comeup with a model that isgoing to appease everyconstituency out there.But we felt that this modelprovided the opportunityto do something special forthe tournament.”

The at-large teams willbe seeded where theywould normally be placedin the bracket, meaning afirst-round game betweentwo No. 10 seeds wouldresult in the winneradvancing to play a No. 7seed.

March Madness will include 4 first-round games

Festivities will begin Friday

Flags were lowered tohalf-staff at New York’sCity Hall and a marqueeoutside the $1.5 billionYankee Stadium — “thehouse that George built” —honored “George M.Steinbrenner III, 1930-2010.”

Steinbrenner’s blustermade him as famous asmany of his players, a fix-ture on the back pages ofthe New York tabloids. Hewas even lampooned on“Seinfeld,” a No. 1 televi-sion show in the 1990s.And Steinbrenner got alaugh out of the bumblingportrayal, voiced by theshow’s executive producerLarry David.

His players felt the out-sized personality in manyways.

Those who put on thepinstripes were paid hand-somely, but they knew theexpectations that camewith the paycheck.
