Board approves
tentative budget
for 2004-2005
• • from front page •
At this point an audience
member asked if this was the
€
time to consider a tax increase to
alleviate budget constraints.
"We always have that in
mind as a possibility,"
Pennington answered.
Carroll Otis made a motion to
approve a list of salary sched-
ules which included a 1.5 per-
cent salary increase for existing
classified employees and certi-
fied personnel, as well as extra
service and extended days for
certified employees and substi-
tute teachers fees. Otis also
included in his motion the possi-
bility of revising the schedules
after reviewing the grievance of
school librarians.
The motion was seconded by
Danita York Richardson and car-
fled without opposition.
Later in the evening, the
board approved the creation of a
bummer-time school program,
eared toward gifted and talent-
d students.
- The program would enable
tudents to have access to edu-
Cational trips in the summer
onths, where they would learn
from various experts in the arts
and sciences.
• Those in attendance dis-
ussed opening the program to
any students, instead of those
in the gifted and talented pro-
gram.
" Pennington said he was not i
favor of excluding students who
ould benefit from the program
st because they weren't
labeled as gifted and talented.
"I've seen youngsters, who
bY any education measures
weren't necessarily gifted and
ialented, but they were highly
[notivated," Pennington said.
"I think its only a step in the
right direction for kids,"
Hutchinson added.
Pennington motioned to cre-
ate the program. Crouch second-
ed the motion. I carried 4-0.
: Upon the recommendation of
Superintendent Hutchinson, the
board renewed a contract with
U.K. Sports Medicine which
provide athletic trainers to Bath
County athletes. The motion to
renew the contract was made by
Crouch. It was seconded by
Richardson and carried, 4-0.
The board also approved a
tentative budget for the 2004-
2005 school year which will be
sfabmitted to the Kentucky
Board of Education.
Later in the evening, the
School board approved a bid by
Salt Lick Deposit Bank, which
Will now provide banking
depository services to the school
System for the next two years.
The board voted unanimous-
ly to solicit bids for occupation-
al and physical therapy services
for 2004-2005, and also
approved the use of the Bethel
Elementary School cafeteria by
the Bethel Community Church
on June 5.

World War II vets
reminisce about
their service days
• from front page •
"Then again, it feels like yes-
terday."
Bailey, who was in atten-
dance during Saturday's dedica-
tion, entered the Navy in August
of 1943.
At 18 years old, Bailey was
slated to sail aboard the U.S.S.
Saratoga during his first assign-
ment. The ship sustained sub-
stantial damage at Iwo Jima,
forcing the crew onto the Ben-
Heroine Richard.
Bailey later learned that
another Bath County native,
Alfred N. Crooks, had been
killed aboard the Saratoga by a
Kamikaze pilot, at Iwo Jima.
"All wars are hell," Bailey
says. "There's nothing glam-
ourous about them. You lose a
lot of friends in combat."
Like most World War II vet-
erans, Earl Snedegar was a
young man, just 21 years-old
when he was drafted into the
Army.
Snedegar's knowledge and
experience of the world extend-
ed only to the borders of
Kentucky and the context of his
school books. Snedegar found
that his fellow inductees were
just as fresh to the world as he
was.
"I'd say a majority of them
had never been on a Greyhound
bus, ridden on a train, or been
out of the state of Kentucky,"
Snedegar recalls.
Three months after his induc-
tion, Snedegar was headed to
Europe, where as part of the
817th Engineer Battalion, he
helped construct runways in
England for B-17 bombers. He
was shipped to France just days
after the Allied invasion of
Normandy, and soon began to
push forward with the rest of the

armed forces.
"We were scared to death,"
Snedegar says. "Any soldier
who said he wasn't scared was
either crazy or not telling the
truth."
Snedegar recalls his days as a
soldier but like most WWII
vets, he doesn't seek recogni-
tion.
"I'm no hero," he says.
"Those 55 men on the memorial
are heroes."
One of the names listed on
the Bath County War Memorial
is that of Floyd P. Penick, a sol-
dier killed by Axis forces in
North Africa.
His brother, county resident
Ewell Penick, was a Staff
Sergeant with the 34th Infantry
Battalion in the South Pacific.
The Penick family, like thou-
sands of other families nation-
wide, sent multiple sons away to
war. Like so many other fami-
lies, not all of their sons
returned home.
Penick received the news of
his brother's death from an edi-
tion of Look magazine, which
featured a list of American casu-
alties.
Penick managed to balance
his grief with his sense of duty.
"It hurt,' Penick says. "But I
couldn't go home and there was
nothing I could do about it."
Penick spent approximately
40 months away from home,
fighting the Japanese. With lim-
ited access to radio, information
from the Atlantic front was non-
existent to your average soldier.
"We didn't know what was
going on anywhere else. I didn't
know what day it was, what
week it was. But you didn't
have time to think
Penick says.
Penick sees the
