Lone Oak High School is the U.S. Department of Energy’s Regional High School Science Bowl win-ner and will compete in the National Science Bowl April 26-30 in Washing-ton, D.C.
The fi ve-student team won the Feb. 10 regional competition in Crounse Hall on the University of Kentucky Extension Campus at West Kentucky Community & Technical College. Two teams from Gatton Academy of Bowl-ing Green fi nished second and third.
Two of the winning Lone Oak team members were on the squad two years ago when Lone Oak won the Regional High School Science Bowl. The repeat victory bolsters Lone Oak’s standing as one of the leading academic teams in the region, Coach Charles Fountain said.
“There are some very tough competitors in this part of Kentucky,” he said.
A fast-paced, question-and-answer format similar to the “Jeopardy” TV game show tests teams of stu-dents in all areas of science and mathematics. Lone Oak team members cover
much of the subject matter in the classroom but cram for the competition with practice questions, said Nikolas Anderson, squad captain.
“Energy-related ques-tions are the hardest be-cause there is no textbook for them,” he said.
Fifteen high school teams competed, with a few schools having two teams. Other competitors were Livingston Central, Fulton County, Calloway County, St. Mary, Paducah Tilghman, Hickman Coun-ty, Hopkinsville, Mayfi eld, and Henderson County.
Regional winners receive expense-paid trips to Washington for DOE’s National Science Bowl.
The Department’s Regional Middle School Science Bowl will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday in Crounse Hall. Competition is open to the public.
Paducah Middle School, last year’s winner, will defend its title against at 1east 12 schools. Paducah Middle advanced to national runner-up in the 2011 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Model car challenge.
Middle school teams
from North Oldham, Hen-derson, Benton, St. Mary, Calloway County, West Kentucky Home Schools United, Ballard County, Crittenden County, Graves County, Pace School, Reidland, and Heath are expected to compete in this year’s regionals.
The regional competition is supported by the contri-butions of local businesses and individuals. The funds are utilized for trophies, T-shirts, and lunch for the participating students. Do-nations can be sent to The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce, attention Stacy Thomas.
The regional competition is sponsored by DOE, UK-Paducah Campus, WKCTC, and the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce’s Business Education Part-nership.
Contributing businesses: A&K Construction, Com-puter Services Inc., LATA Environmental Services of Kentucky, EHI Con-sultants, ISP Chemicals, Performance Results Corp., Radiation Physics Solutions, Swift & Staley Mechanical Contractors, U.S. Enrichment Corp., and White House Design.

Cathy Elliott of the Ronald McDonald House Charities recently pre-sented the Paducah Symphony Orchestra with a grant to sponsor the Paducah Symphony’s Ensembles in Schools program.
The Ronald McDon-ald House Charities of TriState has partnered numerous times with the Paducah Symphony Or-chestra to provide educa-tional programs for area students. Grants from the local chapter provided thousands of children with a live symphony performance experience through the PSO Youth Concerts in the late 1990s. In more recent years, RMHC grants have brought symphony en-semble presentations into more than 42 schools in McCracken and surround-ing counties to enhance their arts and humanities
curriculum. “Bringing music educa-
tion to area students matches RMHC’s focus of educating and enriching the lives of children,” El-liott said. “Over $260,000 has been awarded by the Ronald McDonald House Charities in 2011 for children’s programs in western Kentucky, south-ern Illinois, and southeast Missouri.”
The Paducah Symphony Orchestra’s educational programs have had long established goals to bring music into the lives of young people by culti-vating an appreciation of music, through per-formance and audience participation. Such goals can be met through the Ensembles in Schools program. Other education offerings include the Chil-dren’s and Youth Chorus-es, Young Artist Concerto Competition, Musical
Story Time, Maestro Vis-its, Musical Chairs, and the Free Student Ticket program.
“We are truly grateful for the fi nancial contri-bution from RMHC,” said Paducah Symphony Executive Director Daniel Sene. “Their support is critical to the continua-tion of our in-school pro-grams.”
For the Spring 2012 Ensemble in Schools pro-gram, a Brass Quintet will perform for area children in school assemblies on Fridays during March on a fi rst-come fi rst-serve ba-sis. Requests from schools for ensemble concerts are currently being taken through the Paducah Symphony Offi ce.
For more information, contact the symphony at 444-0065 or email [email protected] to request an application.

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Tom Martinez, the long-time personal coach to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, has died. He was 67.
Brady said in a statement posted on his Facebook
p a g e Wednes-day that he is “deeply s a d -dened by the pass-ing of my c o a c h , m e n -tor and
friend.”“Coach Martinez's in-
valuable assistance and support will never be for-gotten and will always have a lasting impact on my life,” Brady said in the statement. “The time we spent togeth-er remain some of my fond-est memories. His legacy of commitment, toughness and determination will live on forever.”
Tom Martinez worked with Brady when he was a teenager growing up in San Mateo, where Mar-tinez coached at College of San Mateo. Their rela-tionship continued during Brady's NFL career.
Brady told reporters be-fore this year's Super Bowl that Martinez taught him how to throw a football, and he was “forever indebted” to him. The quarterback said
Martinez had been seeking a kidney for some time.
“A lot of people are look-ing for kidneys or some different type of trans-plants, but he's very de-serving,” Brady said then. “He's a great man.”
The Patriots posted to Twitter late Tuesday, “Our sincere condolences go out to the Martinez family & all those he mentored through-out his incredible career.”
Patriots wide receiv-er Julian Edelman also tweeted, “RIP coach Tom Martinez. He was such a great mentor to many in the bay area. His legacy will always live on.”
Martinez's wife, Olivia, on Wednesday told The Associated Press that he died Tuesday after suffer-ing a heart attack while receiving dialysis. She said that her husband leaves behind three adult chil-dren and their spouses and also six grandchildren — with a seventh soon on the way — as well as an indelible impact on hun-dreds of young athletes from across the country.
“Tom had a very, very unique way of communi-cating with his athletes that resulted in a bond that was very special,” she said. “First and foremost, he was a teacher, then a coach. His approach made the complex easy to un-derstand. He truly was a master teacher in that re-spect.”
Martinez was Brady’s quarterback coach

THURSDAY, FEB. 23, 2012ARIES (March 21-April 19): Concen-
trate on you for a change. Do some-thing that will make you feel good, look good and bring good results. Re-evaluate your relationships with people you deal with daily to fi nd ways to improve or discontinue each con-nection.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can only do so much. Find ways to restore something that has meaning to you. Whether it’s a relationship, a group af-fi liation or even a plan that has taken a wrong turn, you can make a differ-ence with positive reforms.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll face confusion, dishonesty and poor
advice if you listen to someone who is jealous of you. Do your best to remain positive and to strive for success. Your ability to stay on course and reach your destination will impress the right people.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Dis-cussing your plans with someone you respect will result in suggestions that fi t your budget and your emotional, mental and physical comfort zones. A unique offer from someone special will fi ll in whatever is missing from your plans.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Socializing and getting to know new acquain-tances should be your intent, but that doesn’t mean you should pick up the
tab, overspend, overindulge or overdo in an attempt to win popularity.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Travel or sign up for a seminar or conference that interests you. Getting involved in activities that are challenging can take your mind off your problems, eas-ing your stress and helping you come to terms with what you must do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The more time you spend with colleagues, cli-ents or classmates, the better. Take whatever opportunity you get to dis-cuss what’s required of you to ensure that you are on the right track and that you don’t let anyone down, includ-ing yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make
overdue alterations to your living quarters and you will be able to start a new hobby. A creative outlet will give you plenty to talk about and push you in a social direction that will bring you in contact with like-minded people.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Choose your words carefully. Take action rather than discussing your plans. Someone is sure to disagree with what you want to do and make your life diffi cult should you try to pur-sue your dreams.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look at your past and consider the choices you made. You will come up with a good solution that will enable you to retrieve what you left behind
and rid yourself of the things you still have but no longer need.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do what you can to help others, but don’t go into debt doing so. A change that someone from your past makes will make an impression on you that helps you move in a new direction as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sen-sitive emotional issues must be handled carefully. Much can be ac-complished if you are reasonable. An unusual suggestion will help with re-gard to how you earn your living.
Birthday Baby: You visualize and take action. You gravitate to the un-usual.

Dear Annie: Last April, I moved into an apartment with one of my best friends. We get along great except for one thing: her cats.
“Renee” was born with no sense of smell. She's nor-mally very organized except when it comes to the animals. She forgets to clean the litter-box because she can't smell it, so I have to remind her constantly. The odor can be-come so unbearable that I no longer allow my friends in-side. Also, her cats play with their food trays and water dishes and knock everything onto the fl oor. She never cleans it up. I had to confront her about this because it was attracting bugs. And when the cats throw up, I'm the one who ends up cleaning it because I know she won't do it. It is absolutely disgusting.
I don't like being confron-tational, and Renee is very argumentative. Anytime I've tried to address this, it falls
on deaf ears. I've managed to survive this long as her roommate, so right now I am simply biding my time until I can move out. However, Renee recently commented that she doesn't want me to leave when our lease is up. I wouldn't mind living with her again if she would give up her cats, but I know that isn't going to happen, and I'd feel guilty asking her.
Renee and I have the same circle of friends, so if I ask around about a new roommate, she'll hear, and it would hurt her feelings. I don't want to ruin our friend-ship, because she truly is a good person and an amazing friend. I just want out of kitty hell. — Always Holding My Nose.
Dear Nose: You have nothing to lose by tell-
ing Renee that she must take better care of the cats or you are moving out. She can clean the lit-terbox at regular inter-vals, whether she smells it or not. And anything that lands on the fl oor is visible to both of you. She may be an “amaz-ing” friend, but she is a lousy roommate.
Dear Annie: How can I get my husband and his sister to stop scratching and pick-ing at their heads and ears? It's disgusting and looks ter-rible. They do it at work, too, and it's so unprofessional. — Tired of Picking.
Dear Tired: First ask your husband to see his doctor or dermatologist to fi nd out whether he has a scalp condition. If so, there is likely treat-ment that will alleviate the problem, and it also might help your sister-in-law.
