Road improvements forthe county and new proj-ects being conducted byHarlan ARH Hospital werethe main topics of discus-sion during a meeting ofthe Harlan CountyChamber of Commerce onWednesday.

“As some of you mayknow, we could possiblylose the U.S. 421 projectbecause of the state’s timelimitation of keeping prop-erty — if they don’t use it,they lose it,” said chamberof commerce member RogerFannin. “I recently talked

with representatives, infor-mally, and didn’t get theidea they were onboard —focused, put it that way,with some of ourTransportation needs. Ithink we need to set off analarm to let them know thechamber and people in thiscommunity are very inter-ested in U.S. 421 and U.S.119.

“I think it’s fair to say,they know this. I knowwe’ve generated close to a100 calls. For a representa-tive to receive 100 mes-sages in two days, that’spretty powerful. I consid-ered that a warm-up fornext time. This is not a

money year. The budgetwill be made next year.This is something we reallyneed to get focused on,because money is tight. Letme tell you, roads are beingbuilt somewhere, I guaran-tee, in eastern Kentucky. Ican’t think of a place anymore needy than this coun-ty right here for roads. Wehave to get everybodyfocused on this.”

Mark Bell, president ofthe Harlan CountyChamber of Commerce,encouraged everyone tocontact their representa-tives, state senators andmembers of the legislative

Watch out for the overflows

NOLA SIZEMORE/Harlan Daily Enterprise

If a tornado or flood occurred,would you be prepared?Kentuckians face differentweather related challengesthroughout the year and becauseof that every household should beprepared to face these challengesat any given time. Gov. SteveBeshear recently signed a procla-mation declaring March asSevere Weather AwarenessMonth, urging all Kentuckians tobe prepared for severe weather.

“Although state and local gov-ernments are here to assist the

public during these times, pre-paredness starts at home,” saidJohn Heltzel, director ofKentucky EmergencyManagement. “It starts withbeing aware of conditions and sit-uations that threaten you andyour family’s safety and thentaking appropriate steps.”

In the past Kentuckians haveexperienced unprecedentedflooding, tornados and icestorms, leaving residents with-out power and water for weeks.Louisville experienced a tornadoin 1890 where more than 120people perished. There was flood-ing from the Ohio River in 1937,

the Cumberland River in 1977.There were outbreaks of torna-dos in 1974 where 72 people diedand again in 2008 where 17 resi-dents perished. Everyoneremembers the blizzard of 2003,the wind storm of 2008 and theice storm of 2009.

“Be prepared,” said Heltzel.“You should have a three daysupply of food and water for eachmember of your family, alongwith essentials such as medi-cines, flashlights, radio, extrabatteries, matches, candles, firstaid supplies to name a few.”

Status ofTCRS heardat meetingBy JARROD SHERMANContributing Writer

A tragic car crash overthe weekend might proveto be the impetus for a bet-ter-staffed Tri-City RescueSquad.

Former rescue squadmember Yolanda Stantonaddressed theCumberland City Councilduring Tuesday’s meetingto announce a recruitingdrive to attract new mem-bers to the Tri-City RescueSquad.

“This past week, wehad a bad fatality up on119,” Stanton said. “Thecomplaint I heard wasthat they had to callHarlan County (RescueSquad) to come up hereand use the Jaws (of Life)to get this lady out of thevehicle. This took over 45minutes — we had no res-cue squad to respond.”

Mossie Glover, 52, ofCumberland, was killedSaturday when she turnedonto U.S. 119 fromKingdom Come Drive,pulling into the path of atractor and trailer. Aninfant in Glover’s vehiclesustained minor injuries.

“We’re trying to getmore volunteers from thisarea,” Stanton said. “We’regoing to have a recruit-ment. Anybody can volun-teer, if you can just standthere and direct traffic —

you don’thave tohave anyspecialskills.Hopefully,we can getthe rescuesquadback. You

don’t want it to be yourfamily member waiting forsomebody from Harlan tocome up here. I know thisone was a fatality, butwhat if it hadn’t been?”

Currently, virtually allof the squad’s membersare also employees ofJohnson’s LifeCare,according to LifeCare rep-resentative StephanieVanover.

“He works 84 hours,she works 72,” she said,referring to crew memberswho attended the meetingwith her. “My father(Darrell Vanover) and Iwork 24/7. We don’t have alot of members in the res-cue squad.

“We need more volun-teers. There’s a lot of peo-ple who show up at a badaccident and stand by theroad and watch. Why don’tthey become involved,educated, professionallytrained and help? I wouldlove that.”

More information aboutvolunteering will be avail-able at the next city coun-cil meeting.

“I’m here to do a lot oflistening and learning,”said Abramson. “Theissues I’m hearing are thesame issues I have dealtwith in Jefferson County— if you’re talking roads,sewer, water, drugs,parks and jobs. We’ve hadsome very difficult timesall over the United Statesand this governor, unlikeother governors, has beenable to keep the shipafloat without raisingtaxes.”

When asked about hisvision regarding roads forHarlan County,Abramson said infra-structure is “really impor-tant.” He said businesseswon’t come to areaswhere they can’t get rawmaterials in and finishedproducts out.

“My understanding istwo sections of U.S. 421have been finished, and athird of it is on the six-

year road plan,” saidAbramson. “The commit-ment is to finish it — it’stime to finish it, andwe’re certainly going todo everything we can toget that finished. Weknow it’s important forthe moving of goods andservices and people inand out of HarlanCounty.”

Abramson went on tosay if elected his plan wasto work on education,stressing to the childrenof Kentucky the impor-tance of finishing highschool and going on to col-lege, especially communi-ty colleges in small com-munities, to obtain theirdegrees.

The Santa Train tradition

Throughout the 2010 holiday season, area Food City supermarkets onceagain featured the sale of a special children’s book, entitled The SantaTrain Tradition. Inspired by one of our region's most anticipated holidaytraditions, the well crafted children’s book was written by author LeighAnne W. Hoover, of Kingsport, Tenn., and beautifully illustrated by CarolBates Murray. The Santa Train Tradition tells the story of 7-year-old BenMassey and his annual family tradition of walking to meet the Santa Trainon the chilly Saturday morning before Thanksgiving. Food City recentlypresented a check for the proceeds, which totaled $900 to representativesof the Kingsport Chamber Foundation to benefit the Santa TrainScholarship. Food City has donated in excess of $10,000 to the Santa TrainScholarship in the past three years through the sale of the book in partic-ipating stores. Food City’s Corporate Trainer, Ed Moore is a longtime par-ticipant in the annual Santa Train project, arranging contributions of over$150,000 in toys, candy and food each year. Ed recently received theKingsport Chamber’s distinguished Lifetime Member Award. The awardgoes to an individual who has made an enormous contribution to theKingsport Chamber and the community throughout his or her lifetime.Months before the Santa Train leaves the station, Moore is busy collecting,separating and packing donated toys and gifts, which are shipped from all-across the country in preparation for the much anticipated event. Theweekend before Thanksgiving the Santa Train, loaded with toys for chil-dren of all ages, begins its yearly 110-mile track from Kingsport, Tenn.through the mountains of the southern Appalachians and returning toKingsport. By the journey’s end, over 15 tons of toys, food and gifts aredistributed throughout the states of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee.For more information on The Santa Train Tradition visit www.thesanta-traintradition.com.

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Friday, March 11, 2011

Though it is not, theAcademy Awards pres-ents itself as more than abig opportunity to kiss upto big profits, fame andenormous vanity.

They don't haveAcademy Awards in theMiddle East or China —they are too busy agitat-ing for reforms. But if andwhen they get to wherewe are, it will only be amatter of time before theyhave to face their ownMelissa Leo.

The extremely talentedLeo won the Oscar forsupporting actress withher excellent portrayal ofa hard-nosed, hard-smok-ing mother in "TheFighter." It was a star-tling performance, but notas surprising as whattook place at the Oscars.As she strode onto thestage, the actress pre-tended to have basicallyforgotten where she was,spicing up her acceptancespeech with what isknown as an "F-bomb."

Why would a personwho has that rarest ofthings to be found in pop-ular entertainment today— deep, deep natural tal-ent — choose to put onsuch an adolescent act infront of so many millions

of people?Time is the reason.

Despite all of her ability,Leo decided that shewould make herself mem-orable, a passing bliz-zard's snowflake paintedbright red by vulgarity.

One of the things thathave evolved in ourdemocracy is a confusedattitude toward goodtaste. A powerful reasonfor that confusion is thatgood taste is one of thethings that the privilegedhave used as justificationfor the reach of theirpower. They ordered bed-pans emptied on theplebes while complainingof the stink rising fromthe masses.

So we did away witharistocracy and replacedit with popularity — butnot necessarily with qual-ity at every point. Themasses always preferredthe loud and the obviousto the subtle and the intri-cate. That is why P.T.

Barnum allegedly saidthat there is a suckerborn every minute.

Barnum would under-stand what Leo didbecause he knew perform-ers and their audiences aswell as anyone ever has.No amount of talent guar-antees that anyone willsurvive the erosions oftime: One can only outruntime for so long beforebeing tackled in front ofthe world. Such a drivenworld has little regard forachieving wisdomthrough thought andexperience.

So the craving for per-manent fame explainswhy stars today speak ofcosmetic surgery and gru-eling weight loss the wayathletes candidly talkabout their equipment.The grace and poise thatcontinue to make MerylStreep such a great artis-tic presence are not par-ticularly encouraged inyoung film actors of anyethnic group, color or reli-gion.

It's a shame thatMelissa Leo chose to emu-late today's crass youngstars instead of someonelike Streep. On film, Leo'sface is one of the finestinstruments of human

feeling and expression ofour time, but that clearlyis not enough. The mid-dle-aged actress showedhow vulnerable she is tothe dictates of a demo-cratic culture in whichbeing popular forces oneinto making concessionsabout decorum and taste,while getting to middleage puts one at the mercyof an unsympatheticworld.

What the Middle Eastand China presently havegoing for them is a respectfor wisdom and highregard for it any time thataccumulated powerreveals its depth. As forourselves, we can renewthe living culture of ourdemocracy if we remem-ber 1 Corinthians 13:11:"When I was a child, Ispoke as a child, I under-stood as a child, I thoughtas a child; but when Ibecame a man, I put awaychildish things."

Had Leo chosen toembody the functionalmeaning of that verse, shewould mean much more tous than she now does. Asilk handkerchief, not asoiled paper tissue.

When Nation of Islamleader Louis Farrakhanstarts a controversy, theguy doesn’t mess around.

Farrakhan is either afiery black leader, an anti-Semite, a racist who hatesall whites or a religiouscharlatan, depending onwhose ox he happens to begoring at any particulartime. I’ve listened to hisspeeches — most of themin person — since the early1970s. What I’ve learnedfrom listening toFarrakhan during all thattime is that of all thegroups he’s criticized, hegives it to his own peoplethe worst. When Jews com-plain about his anti-Semitic speeches, orwhites complain about hisanti-white ones, I tellthem, “Hey, you got offeasy.”

Pop singer Rihannafound out the hard wayhow harsh Farrakhan canbe when blacks are the tar-get of his ire. He chided herfor her Grammy Awardsperformance with rapperDrake that was way morethan a little on the, shallwe say, sultry side.

“I saw my beautiful sis-ter the other night at theGrammy Awards,Rihanna,” Farrakhan saidin his keynote speech atthe Nation of Islam’s annu-

al Savior’s DayConvention. “My poor sis-ter! And she dressedalmost like with a pair ofdrawers. And she got herlegs wide open and is justgrinding away. If that did-n’t revolt you, you’re begin-ning to be a swine.”

By the time this remarkhit the ever-unreliableInternet, the claim wasthat Farrakhan had calledRihanna’s fans “swine.”He clearly said nothingdirectly about Rihanna’sfans. He was talking aboutANYONE who didn’t feelrevulsion at the perform-ance, whether they werefans of Rihanna or not.

Some Web sitesclaimed, inaccurately, thatFarrakhan had calledeither Rihanna or her per-formance — or both —“filthy.” But it transpiresthat he didn’t say thateither. Here are hisremarks about the “filth”matter.

“Whey you sit down andlisten to somebody andevery third word is m.f.

this and they start talkingabout the act that is donein private and bring it outin public and make it lowdown and filthy and yousitting there laughing at afilthy damn joke and thenthe next day you go tochurch and sing in thechoir? You a swine.”

That sounds to me likean attack on filth in theentertainment industry asa whole, not just Rihanna.And Farrakhan’s com-ments about howScientology “civilized”white people struck me asdownright weird, and hiscomments about howMuammar Gaddafi is hisbuddy struck me as wrong-headed, I have to admit: onfilth in the entertainmentindustry, he’s absolutelyright.

The question for therest of us is this: why did iteven take a LouisFarrakhan to address theissue of Rihanna’s inappro-priate performance at theGrammy Awards?Remember when televisionnetworks wouldn’t dreamof airing a performanceeven one-tenth as risqué asRihanna’s?

Farrakhan certainlydoes, and it’s time for otherclergymen — Jewish,Christian and Muslim —to join him in calling for

the entertainment indus-try to clean up its act. Andthis doesn’t pertain to justfilms, television shows andmusic with sexually sug-gestive themes. There’sfilth in other areas too.

Remember when horrormovies were truly scary?They aren’t anymore.These days, they’re justdisgusting. The themes aretorture, dismembermentand a plethora of bloodwith scenes of body parts— inner and outer —strung about. Comediesare no better. Sophomoric,gross-out “humor” hasbecome the standard. Afunny comedy in the 21stcentury that doesn’t resortto such tactics is a rarity.

Where are Bud Abbottand Lou Costello when wereally need ‘em? Their clas-sic “Who’s On First?” rou-tine remains the singlemost brilliant — and fun-niest — comedy routineever done. Compare it tosome of the things so-called comedians of todaydo to get laughs. LouisFarrakhan is wrong andhas been wrong aboutmany things, but on thisone he’s absolutely right.Entertainment industrymoguls really do need toclean up their filth.

It's hard to reverse course without paying attentionto how you got on the wrong road to begin with, andhow you correct your mistake. But that is exactly whatPresident Barack Obama has done.

Having ridden the wave of victory in 2008, he dovein with force to create his own federal health careplan. He showed such pride in addressing the biggest-growing cost problem Americans faced. The only prob-lem is that he did nothing to lower the costs of healthcare. Instead, he created a monster expense — yetanother entitlement program he said the governmentwould be able to handle.

Then came the elections of 2010. The public con-demned his free spending and delivered control of theHouse to Republicans. Meanwhile, a massive budgetdeficit threatened to sink the country.

Obama swallowed the bitter pill and said he wouldaddress the problems that had agitated voters. But hehas not. He has talked the talk, but has refused towalk the walk. ...

In fact, Obamacare may become yet another entitle-ment that will need fixing, on top of Medicaid,Medicare and Social Security.

Obamacare comes at a time when not only the fed-eral government, but also state governments are introuble. And one of the reasons state governments,and even county governments, are in trouble isbecause of the growing costs of Medicaid. It currentlyaccounts for 21 percent of state budgets and is grow-ing. It covers 53 million people, and Obamacare willadd another 20 million in 2014. ...

While states will have to address this crisis, essen-tially these are problems the federal governmentowns. ...

If he fails to tackle these monumental problems, thepublic will clearly see that he has failed in his presi-dential leadership and doesn't deserve a second term.

The Buffalo (N.Y.) News

Some repairwork needsdone quickly

Dear Dr. Brothers: Mywife has a new habit of nottelling me what's bother-ing her. When somethingis obviously wrong, shegets very quiet and with-drawn. Every time I ask,she says, "It's nothing." Inever could understandwhy women do this. Whensomething is wrong withme, I have no problemtelling her. It really con-cerns me, because she juststarted acting like this,and I feel like I'm gettingtoo old to be playinggames. I don't know whatto do.

G.R.

Dear G.R.: I imaginethe first thing to do istry to determinewhether you arealready mischaracter-izing what is going on.What you call "playinggames" may be some-thing else altogether,and to start out sodefensively can't be agood thing for either ofyou. So let us set asidethat idea for a momentand look at some alter-natives. The fact thatshe just started clam-ming up could be a clue

that this thing is moredifficult for her to talkabout than the usualsmall stuff that peoplearen't supposed tosweat. So you may needto coax it out of her in agentle way, and itwould be helpful if youdidn't call her reti-cence "playing games."

When women dowithhold information,or when men do it, theyusually have a reason,especially if it is a newway of communicating.Your wife may be fear-ful of your reaction, orafraid of opening up acan of worms, or justmay have a series ofthings that are begin-ning to overwhelm her,and she doesn't knowwhere to start. Somaybe let her knowthat you are a bit con-fused because you'vealways been very open

with one another, andtell her that you won-der if something that'sdifficult to talk about isbothering her. If yourattitude is one of con-cern and patience, shewill be more likely toopen up to you.Whatever you do, don'taccuse her of playinggames unless you havea pretty good idea thatshe is just trying to getsome attention.

* * *Dear Dr. Brothers: My

stepfather is hitting onme. At first I thought itmight have been just inmy head, but it seemsevery single time we arealone, he gets creepy andweird. He actually askedme what my bra size is.I'm 24 years old and wouldpunch him in the face if heever touched me — I justdon't know what to tell mymom. I know she reallyloves him and would bedevastated. Do you thinkif I avoid the whole situa-tion, it will just go away?

V.K.

Dear V.K.: One wayto approach this prob-lem is to simply avoid

your step-father. If heis a recent addition toyour family circle andyou don't have a realrelationship with him,that might be a logicalcourse of action. Afterall, you are an adult —and if you are still liv-ing at home under hisroof, it definitely wouldbehoove you to moveout as soon as possible.If this man has been afather figure to youthroughout the years,though, the situation isa bit more complicated.You may still feel like alittle girl around himand may not feelempowered to punchhim in the face. In caseyou meant that literal-ly, it would not be avery good way toresolve this issue, soplease don't.

But you shouldn't befocusing on your moth-

er's feelings at thistime. Your own safetyand well-being need tocome first, and if yourmother will not turnaround and blame youfor being provocative— which is a possiblereaction that you mustconsider — she wouldbe a good ally to havein this situation. Youhave two basic optionsin addition to the easyavoidance one: You canconfront your stepfa-ther yourself, and tell

him to leave you alone;or you can tell yourmother and let her han-dle it or confront himwith you. Both optionsare scary, but if you putyour own interestsfirst, I think you willfigure out what is thebest road to take. If youfeel your mother willbe hurt by the revela-tions, consider howhurtful it would be forher not to know.

There was anotherwedding in 1951 thatwent unheralded by the

media, but changed manylives for the better.Gladys Hamlin marriedErnest Hensley on March8, 1951 in Harlan,Kentucky. My motherand father celebratedtheir 60th weddinganniversary this week.

I've heard them talkabout their romance.They had grown up in thesame community andtheir families, as all ruralfamilies in small commu-nities do, knew eachother through the years.Their families went tothe same school and theirsiblings varied in similarages. Martin's Fork wasa small place. Ernest andGladys were bound tocross paths eventually.

My dad says he firstnoticed her and fell inlove with my mom whenhe was standing outsidethe Baptist church andsaw my mom (age 15)through an open window,playing the guitar andsinging. He said shelooked and sounded likean angel to him. At age17, he was smitten. Shesays that she never reallyremembered him whenthey were growing up,but once he fell for her,he made sure she knewhe was around. Theydated for almost twoyears, marrying whenshe was only 17 and hewas 19.

In those days, thatwasn't considered tooyoung to marry and starta family. He had beenworking for wages sincehe was 12 years old. He

was strong, handsomeand healthy. He knew hecould provide for a wifeand family. She had beenraised to take over thekeeping of her own house,take care of a husband,and tend to childrenwhen they came along. Itwas ingrained in them.Life was about marrying,settling down and havinga family.

My mom says sheloved my dad so well thatshe would have marriedhim if she knew they'dhave to go live under arock or in a cave untilthey could do better. I'mglad it didn't come tothat! Once she fell in lovewith him, it was a foreverkind of love.

They moved around agood bit in the beginning.They ventured north formy dad to find work inthe industrial revolutionthat had overtaken thenorthern states and bigcities. Wages were goodand he dreamed of mak-ing enough money to"come home" and have agood life back inKentucky. They triedmoving back a few timesbut found the steadinessof jobs and pay in the citymore stable. They didn'tget to move back perma-nently until 26 years agoafter my dad retired.

When I think of myparents, I cannot imagineone without the other. Ican't fathom who theywould have become with-out each other. I believethey were truly a matchmade in Heaven. Joining

their lives together andanswering a call to theministry set them on acourse that has takenthem through good timesand bad, happy and sad.They've had prosperoustimes and lean timesthrough the years, buttheir love for each otherand their love for Godnever wavered. That lovesustained them throughevery heartache they'vehad to face.

Sometimes I see themwalking together andthey will still be holdinghands after all theseyears. They still peckeach other on the cheekand say, "I love you," toeach other every day oftheir lives. My dad stillsays she's his angel andthe best woman, the bestmother in the world, andthe only one ever for him.She still calls him herbaby and looks after himas if it is still her joy andprivilege to own him asher husband.

In a world whereeverything seems tempo-rary, love seems elusive,and relationships seem sounstable, I'm thankful tosay that I know at leastone couple who havestood the test of time.They truly took eachother for better or forworse, in sickness and inhealth, to love, honor,and cherish, until deathshall part them.

Sixty years of mar-riage is certainly some-thing to celebrate.

MOREHEAD (AP) —College basketball’s bestrebounder just shakes his headwondering how he got to thispoint in his career.

Kenneth Faried neverthought he’d make it this far, atleast not at Morehead State.

The 6-foot-8 senior center —who broke Tim Duncan’s mod-ern-day NCAA record for careerrebounds while leading theEagles (24-9) to their secondOhio Valley Conference cham-pionship in three seasons —shrugs his muscled shoulderswhen asked how a black kidfrom Newark, N.J. survivedfour years in the easternKentucky hills.

“If you’re committed to me,I’m committed to you,” Fariedsaid while playing with histrademark dreadlocks.“Morehead State, they stuck

with methrough thehard times.”

And therewere hardtimes.

He nearlyquit during hisfreshman sea-son, storming

off the floor one day as coachDonnie Tyndall put the Eaglesthrough another grueling con-ditioning drill. Faried called hismother, Waudda, asking tocome home. She told him togrow up and get back on thefloor.

Bigger schools who ignoredFaried as a raw high schoolertried to lure him away as asophomore after seeing the wayhis relentless reboundinghelped guide the Eagles to theirfirst NCAA tournamentappearance in 25 years.

“We had scumbags allaround the country trying topull him away,” Tyndall said.

He toyed with leaving earlyfor the NBA last spring afterbeing named Ohio ValleyConference Player of the Yearas scouts flocked to watch himplay.

Yet the rambunctious kidwith the still thick Jerseyaccent opted to stick at themodest school with almost zerobasketball tradition. One that’sspent decades rendered nearlyinvisible playing in the shadowof Kentucky, an hour west bythe interstate, a lifetime awayby reputation.

Not that Faried didn’t wantto leave.

More than once he and bestfriend Demonte Harper, a sen-ior guard, sat in their dormroom as freshmen role playersin the midst of a so-so 15-15

season and plotted a way out.“We felt like we just needed

to leave,” Faried said. “We werelike, ‘there’s not going to be anysuccess here. We’re not evergoing to do anything.’ That’swhen we realized we’ve got toput in the work.”

There’s not much else to doin Morehead.

There’s no mall. The localsports bar serves as night life.There’s just school and basket-ball.

So Faried dedicated himself.Turned his anger of being over-looked into fuel. WhenMorehead would play in aseries of “guarantee” gamesagainst big-time schools likeLouisville he’d see more herald-ed players giving half the effortand do his best to embarrassthem.

Rick Pitino noticed. So didFlorida coach Billy Donovan,

who called Faried a “freak.”Donovan compared him to for-mer NBA star Dennis Rodmanafter watching Faried put up 20points and grab 18 rebounds ina tough six-point loss to theGators last fall.

“There is nobody like him,”Donovan said. “He is totally dif-ferent. Sometimes people talkabout why he’s a great rebound-er, athletically he’s at a differ-ent level. You add in the facthe’s a relentless pursuer of thebasketball and that he under-stands what he does ... thereare not a lot of Kenneth Fariedsfloating around out there.”

Certainly not in the OhioValley Conference.

Tyndall believes Faried is a“once in a lifetime player” in theOVC. It’s not just talent. Surehis body has matured — hisframe is a chiseled 235-pounds,50 pounds heavier than whenhe arrived on campus — but sohave his instincts.

Arkansas investigating possible rules violations by PelphreyBy KURT VOIGTAP Sports Writer

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP)— Arkansas is reviewing areport suggesting coach JohnPelphrey had contact with apair of 2012 recruits in viola-tion of NCAA rules.

The report fromCBSSportsline.com includes apicture of Pelphrey withSylvan Hills (Ark.) Highstandout Archie Goodwin andteammate Trey Smith at ahigh school tournament lastDecember. NCAA rules saycoaches cannot have off-cam-pus contact with a prospectuntil the July 1 following theprospect's junior year in highschool.

Goodwin and Smith are stilljuniors and will lead SylvanHills into the Arkansas Class

5A state cham-pionship gameon Friday.

UniversityspokesmanKevin Trainorsaid the schoolwas first madeaware of thepotential viola-

tion on Thursday."As with any potential com-

pliance issue, the institutionwill gather information andreview to determine whether aviolation has occurred," theschool said in a statement. "Ifafter a thorough review of thefacts it is determined a viola-tion has occurred, theUniversity of Arkansas willtake appropriate action inreporting the information con-

sistent with all establishedprocedure."

Pelphrey has a 69-58 recordin four years at Arkansas andhasn't reached the NCAAtournament since his first sea-son in 2007-08. TheRazorbacks (18-12) were set toplay Tennessee on Thursdaynight in the opening round ofthe SEC tournament inAtlanta.

Pelphrey has come underfire in recent weeks as homeattendance dipped for thefourth straight season.

The school averaged 12,022in 18 games in the 19,200-seatBud Walton Arena this sea-son, down from 17,148 inPelphrey's first season.

During its national champi-onship season of 1993-94,

Arkansas averaged 20,134 athome. This season, the schooldrew a season-high 14,174 forits game against Mississippion Feb. 5.

Last week, an advertise-ment in a statewide newspa-per raised concerns about thedirection of the basketball pro-gram. The ad in the ArkansasDemocrat-Gazette called on

Razorback fans to contact uni-versity officials "on the futureof Arkansas basketball beforetoo much time passes." It list-ed addresses for universityofficials, including the school'sBoard of Trustees members.

Pelphrey said he was awareof the ad but defended the pro-gram's future, while also say-ing he wouldn't let himself bedistracted from action awayfrom the court.

Pelfry played basketball atPaintsville, where he wasnamed the state’s Mr.Basketball, before moving onto the University of Kentuckyin 1988.

He served one year as anassistant coach at OklanhomSt., two years at Marshall andsix years at Florida beforebeing named the head coach atSouth Alabama.

Harlan offensive line-man Zach Allen contin-ued the progression ofGreen Dragons headingto the University of theCumberlands as hesigned with the Patriotson Thursday.

“I really liked itthere. It’s close to home,and I know some peopledown there,” Allen said.“I just felt like it wasright for me to go there.It was a factor for me toknow people where Igo.”

Allen has been an

anchor along the GreenDragons’ offensive line,starting all four years atHarlan.

“It has been wonder-ful here at Harlan.Coach Donahue is agreat coach,” Allen said.

“He has been a bigpart of our program forfour years and it will betough for someone tostep in his shoes and fillthe void he leaves,”Harlan coach J.B.Donahue added.

Allen has helped tolead Harlan to a homeplayoff game in each ofthe past three seasons,including a regional

finals appearance in2009.

A 6-0, 305 poundtackle for the GreenDragons, Allen’s sizecould help him make thetransition to the colle-giate level.

“He has been blessedwith a lot of God-givensize and he has learnedto utilize that,”Donahue said. “He doesa very good job of mov-ing what’s in front ofhim. That has been hisstrong point for us.”

“I know they will be alot faster and stronger(in college),” Allenadded. “I will work in

the offseason to get upthere with them.”

He represented theGreen Dragons in theKentucky vs TennesseeBorder Bowl held at theUniversity of theCumberlands, and wasnamed the SEKC 1A/2AOffensive Lineman ofthe Year following lastseason.

“He is a very quiet,good-natured kid. Heled by example and wasvery dedicated duringthe season and offsea-son,” Donahue said. “Heis a good kid and a qual-ity person. I know hewill represent us well.”

Georgia bolsters NCAA stockwith tourney win over TigersBy CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer

ATLANTA (AP) —Mark Fox hopes hisGeorgia team is ready toplay its best at the mostimportant time of the sea-son.

A healthy TreyThompkins is a big reasonfor the coach's positivepostseason outlook.

Thompkins, finallymoving past a series ofnagging injuries, scored22 points to lead Georgiapast Auburn 69-51 onThursday in the openinggame of the SoutheasternConference tournament.

Thompkins, a 6-foot-10junior, is ranked amongthe SEC leaders with hisaverages of 15.8 pointsand 7.6 rebounds despitebattling ankle, shin andtoe injuries. He saidWednesday he is finally atfull speed for the postsea-son. He had 10 reboundsto help support his claim.

"I feel like I'm myselfagain," Thompkins saidafter the game.

Said Fox: "It's his bestgame in a long time."

Fox said Thompkins

begangainingmomen-tum for thepostseasonin practicethis week.

"I feltlike onMonday he

was moving around prettygood, but I really feltTuesday was probably thefirst time in practice Ithought, 'Wow, he's look-ing healthy.' And I feltlike he had a chance toplay well. I think he hassome confidence becausehe felt better."

Georgia (21-10), con-sidered by some to be onthe NCAA tournamentbubble, has a chance toagain bolster its NCAAhopes when it facesAlabama, the WesternDivision's No. 1 seed, inFriday's SEC quarterfi-nals.

Fox, noting Georgiamade only 41.2 percent ofits shots from the field,said his team hasn'tpeaked.

"One thing that wehave had, certainly with

Trey's health, we havenever probably had agame where everybodywas on fire," Fox said.

"Have we had our bestperformance? I don'tknow. I do think thatthere's more good plays inthis group, and hopefullythey will happen at thesame time."

Auburn coach TonyBarbee said "there's noquestion" Georgia belongsin the NCAA field, thanksin part to its deep frontline.

"I don't know of anoth-er team, maybe in ourleague or across the coun-try, that can match upwith them physically,across the front line,"Barbee said. "It seems likethey go to the bench andthere's another 6-foot-9guy that's about 260(pounds) that they bringoff the bench. But they'renot just big, they'reskilled. ... They're all menout there."

Added Barbee: "Wehad boys on the floor."

Chris Denson, a fresh-man from Columbus, ledAuburn (11-20) with acareer-high 21 points.

Cobb goes through running back drills at pro dayLEXINGTON (AP) — When

Randall Cobb showed up toKentucky's Pro Day onThursday, he didn't knowwhat all he would do.

Cobb knew he wasn't goingto rerun the 40-yard dashafter officially posting a 4.46— a time he's happy about —at the NFL Combine. He knewhe would catch balls as areceiver and even some rout ofthe backfield.

The 5-foot-11, 186-poundCobb didn't know he was goingto run drills as a runningback.

"I had no clue," said Cobb, afirst-team All-American in2010 as an all-purpose player."I knew I was going to runsome routes out of the back-field but they grabbed me andasked me if I wanted to do it. Isaid, 'All right, whatever.Let's go.'

"That wasgood experi-ence."

Cobb wasone of manyKentucky'soutgoing play-ers — and theonly junior —to work out

for NFL scouts at the Pro Daywhere 26 NFL teams had rep-resentatives in attendance towatch them.

Cobb did more positionaldrills instead of just theCombine's standard tests ofathleticism that don't apply tospecific positions on the field.He also benefited from beingable to run routes and catchpasses from Mike Hartline,Cobb's quarterback atKentucky.

Hartline also worked outfor scouts Thursday.

"That was very important,"Cobb said of Hartline throw-ing him passes instead of apool of Combine quarterbackshe had never worked with."Mike had a great day and hethrew the ball really well. Itwas good to be back out herethe past few days workingwith him and getting that feelback. He knows what kind ofballs I like and where I likethem thrown. I know how he'sgoing to throw it. Being able tohave him around, that hashelped a lot."

Once Cobb announced hisintention to enter the NFLDraft on Jan. 14, he startedworking at the Athletes'Performance Institute inPhoenix toward the NFLCombine. Cobb said he arrivedback in Lexington to worktoward the Pro Day on March3.

Among other Kentucky sen-iors that worked out Thursdayincluded running back DerrickLocke, who also took part inthe NFL Combine, widereceiver Chris Matthews,defensive tackle RickyLumpkin and several others.Head coach Joker Phillips saidthe workout was as important,if not more important, forthose who weren't invited tothe Combine because theyweren't seen as high-levelprospects.

"Who knows? It's a funnybusiness," Phillips said. "All ittakes is one team, though, tolike you. You look at AlfonsoSmith. He went undrafted andhe was picked up by the rightteam, the Arizona Cardinals,and he made the roster."

Scouts spread out acrossKentucky's practice facility towatch players take part in

standard drills — 40-yarddash, different shuttle runs,broad jump and vertical leap.But once Cobb and Lockestarted positional drills, thescouts centered.

And even though runningback was one of the few skillpositions Cobb never played atKentucky — he was even theteam's first-string holder — hedidn't balk at the opportunityto try something new in frontof eager eyes.

"They're just trying to seehow much versatility I have,do I have the ability to playrunning back. I'm willing to doeverything," he said. "I'vealways been willing to doeverything. If a team draftsme and decides they want toput me at the running backposition, I'm fine working totry to find a way to get betterat that."
