THE CITIZEN-TIMES, Scottsville, Ky., Thursday, March 8, 2012—PAGE 3 How blessed we are in the places where the torna- does missed! CodeRED was a wonderful alert. I got two calls on Friday on my cell phone and three calls on my house phone. I appreciate this new system so much. I was telling a lady in Bowl- ing Green about the alert system we have and she said they had the COWS horns and part of the time they couldn’t even hear them. We were glad to hear that Amanda Patrick is okay af- ter her home was struck by a tornado earlier in the week. I didn’t know she had moved to Illinois. Vernon and Pat Dockery visited in the Pope neigh- borhood on Saturday. They used to live here and built the log house that Tim and P.K. Lyles now live in. Pat said they had built another log house out close to Concord Church and that their kids and grandkids love it. Someone asked Lucas on Monday at daycare what he did on Sunday. He said, well, first we went to church so I could see God. Oh, the precious little children! We are glad to report Jerry Uhls is feeling better. He hopes to go back to work soon. Mechele, Scott and Kaliex Dallas visited Nancy Dun- can on Saturday evening. They went to visit Donna Pat Huntsman later. They all went out for a late lunch. Jean and C.C. Travelstead visited Millie Shaw on Tues- day. Millie had lots of tree limbs in her yard and they picked them up for her. Bro. Kevin Anderson vis- ited Celestine Gibbs and her son, Paul, on Saturday. Bro. Kevin is the pastor at Har- mony Church. We love him and his family. He is good to visit with the sick. Those visiting Frankie Lambert on Saturday were Sheila Uhls, Rita Wallace, Vernon and Pat Dockery, Nancy Duncan and Sky. We missed Darrel and June Lyles at church on Sunday. June had a sinus infection and just didn’t feel like going. Linda Lambert spent the day with Hannah Lambert last Thursday. Among the topics of conversation: Han- nah: Do cats have teeth? Ma: Yes. Hannah: Can they bite? Ma: Yes. Hannah: Do frogs have teeth? Ma: No. Han- nah: So they can’t bite? Ma: No. Hannah: Do chickens have teeth? Ma: No. Han- nah: So they can’t bite? Ma: No, but they can peck you, and that can really hurt. Grandkids....they make the world go ‘round! David and Nikki Towe’s dog, Henry, went missing for a while this past week. Dustin Towe and Forrest Towe finally found him. Da- vid’s mom, Evelyn, said, “It takes a Towe to find a Towe. I’m glad Henry Towe is back home.” We got some sweet news New Life Fellowship 68 Sandy Oak Drive (270) 606-0493 The community is invited to a Prayer Vigil Sat., March 10 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Pray for 10 minutes or 1 hour or more...

Just before cake is done, start making pudding. In a medium bowl, begin to add milk to pudding mix and continue to whisk until most of the lumps are removed. Let pudding mixture sit for about 2 minutes. You want it to thicken slightly so it isn’t runny but not fully thickened into pudding. When cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over cake (about 1-inch intervals) using a wooden spoon handle or a straw. Pour pudding mixture over warm cake. Allow the cake to cool for several minutes on the coun- ter then put into the fridge to set up (about an hour). Once it is set, top with crushed Oreo cookies. Ten Years Ago...

We are so glad that Cricket Rippy was able to come home last week. She had been in the hospital and from there went to her daughter’s home (Darlene and Rick Scott) in Morgantown. Tiffany Tuttle spent Sun- day night with Amanda Brawner. They visited Amanda’s grandparents, Ed and Frankie Lambert and also John L. and Betty Brawner. Vashti Massey visited Darrel and June Lyles last Thursday. She brought two books for Kaylynn. Becca and Eric Lyles spent part of the weekend with Pa and MeMa Lyles (Darrel and June). Becca learned how to use MeMa’s sewing machine. She sewed squares of material together, then Kaylynn helped her fill them with beans. They made lots of bean bags to toss. Katie Jo Wallace and her Super Saturday Group from school went to WBKO’s weather station. They got to meet Chris Allen and Carrie Apple. They ate lunch at the mall with Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Link, Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. McPherson. They en- joyed the day a lot. Lucille Hinton visited Ed and Frankie Lambert on Monday. They had a good visit. Steve Reynolds is coming in again on Thursday for a visit. Norma Jean said the la- dies of the church and the neighbors have been so good to bring in food and come to see them. She’s doing good since her hip replacement surgery. My, how time flies!

GED testing “We are pleased to offer free testing because it will help many Kentuckians re- energize their education and careers,” said Council on Postsecondary Education President Bob King. “For many Kentuckians, earn- ing a GED is a necessary first step toward college and a career with a family-sus- taining wage.” The GED tests provide adults who did not finish high school with the op- portunity to certify their attainment of high school- level academic knowledge and skills. Free GED classes are available through local adult education programs in all 120 Kentucky counties. Free testing in 2011 led to a 10 percent increase in the number of Kentuckians earning a GED. A total of 10,294 GEDs were earned in Kentucky in 2010-11. “The current economy is tough for everyone but has an even greater impact if you are looking for work and do not have your high school diploma,” said Reecie D. Stagnolia, vice president, Kentucky Adult Education. “We see this as a way to help the individual student and to help increase educational attainment in Kentucky at the same time.” NCRC testing The NCRC is a national certification that indicates work readiness by adminis- tering three WorkKeys as- sessments: applied mathe- matics, locating information and reading for information. These specific workplace skills are needed in 77 per- cent of all jobs profiled for WorkKeys testing. “NCRC is the quantifiable tool that allows employers and economic developers to measure terms such as ‘we need a qualified workforce’ into a credential that means the same thing in Bowl- ing Green, Ohio, Bowling Green, Virginia and Bowl- ing Green, Kentucky,” said Beth Brinly, commissioner of the Department of Work- force Investment.
