THE BATH COUNTY NEWS-OUTLOOK II
Owingsville, Ky.--Week of February 28 - March 7, 2002

the Bath County High School Wildcats, went in for
the lay-up during the Bath/Lewis County game.

likes and things such as the way
they laughed orthe way they dressed
can better illustrate their personali-
ty.
"You put together a human be-
ing," says Denton,
Well said.
In the book BlueGrass Confeder-
tL, the diary of Edward Guerrant,
he went so far as to describe--in
detail--his lovers laugh.
That detail of someone's person-
ality, typically brushed aside, is
probably "priceless to someone
among her descendents. And may-
be someone else can say to their
daughter, 'you have your great-great-
grandmother's laugh!'
Some of those details can lead to
broader conclusions on what type
of person that individual may have
been at one time.
"It's amazing how quickly we're
forgotten," says Denton.
If you think abotit it, we have no
real excuse not to document our
present. With cameras, tape record-
ers and video cameras at our dispos-
al (not to mention an endless supply
of pencils), we should all be docu-
menting various things.
Not necessarily everyday, but just
from time to time.
So we don't forget.
And so future generations will
one day be able to have a clearer
picture of who we were and how we
lived.

The Rise and Read program will
be a Saturday morning program for
parents and children 0- 5 years old to
increase the importance of reading
to small children. Three programs
have been slated for March 23 at
Owingsville Elementary School Caf-
eteria, April 6 at Bethel Elementary
School Cafeteria, and April 20 at
Salt Lick Elementary School Cafe-
teria. The program will begin with a
breakfast donated by a local restau-
rant and the Bath County Memorial
Library children's librarian will have
a program for parents and children to
enjoy and learn from, then the book-
mobile librarian will check out books
to both the children and parents.
Parents will also be able to meet with
a representative from the Child Care
Resource and Referral Agency to
discuss any concerns about child-
care and to complete an assessment
of their childcare provider. All coun-
ty licensed and certified childcare
providers are also invited to attend.

became Fincastle County, Virginia,
before it was deemed Kentucky
County, Virginia in 1776, with the
seat of the county government at
Harrodsburg. It was in 1780 that
Kentucky County was divided into
Lincoln, Fayette and Jefferson coun-
ties in Virginia. Kentucky became a
state in 1792.
The library has seen people from
all over (even Texas) come in to do
research.
"In winter it slows down, but
when vacation time comes, it gets
busy; you never know from day to
day whether we'll use this room or
not," says Crump.
She says sometimes a person will
need a quick, small detail--a piece
to complete a puzzle. Others spend
days digging.
"If there is a Bath County con-
nection, they'll be here," says Crump
smiling.
Dareen Cauclill, from Mt. Ster-
ling, has been doing genealogy work
now for 11 years. Curious about
history since childhood, she began
with her own family and then ex-
tended into her husband's side.
"It makes you curious, one thing
leads to the next," says Caudill.
She says the hard research is
'satisfying and makes her proud of
her history. She traveled to James-
town on her vacation last year to
witness some of the places her fam-
ily had been. There, standing on the
banks of the Potomac River, she
closed her eyes and envisioned the
settlers stepping from their ship to
the land.
"It's almost like they want you to
find them," says Caudill of her an-
cestors.
Crump says the library's depart-
ment is just a place to begin.
"We don't have a genealogist that
does this for us now."
But patrons finding their own
information have graciously copied
their notes to be added to the li-
brary's existing resources.
"If you get into genealogy expect
a lot of work and time," says Crump.
"For some people it's a lifetime of
work."
A lot of people don't get into
genealogy until they're older. Then
they regret their late start. That re-
gret is called "genealogist's lament."
Genealogist lament is saying, 'Oh
I wish I had begun this earlier' or
regretting not paying attention when
grandpa was telling you all those
old stories of his grandfathers life.
Genealogy extends farther than
history. While history collects dates
and facts, genealogy uncovers soft-
er details that flesh out the skeleton
that history pieces together.
Denton encourages people to ex,
tend their search beyond the obvi-
ous dry facts of a person or family's
existence in history.

The third program will fund New
Parent Packs that will be given to
new parents as they leave the hospi-
tal with their newborn. These packs
will include a video on quality child
care, as well as updated lists of all
licensed child care centers and certi-
fied.laome centers in Bath County,
The last program funded will be a
Multicultural, Family Diversity, and
Physica!ly Challenged Resource
Center that will be housed in the
Bath County Memorial Library and
will be available to all childcare pro-
viders to check out and use with their
children that they are caring for. This
resource center will include books,
videos, books-on-tape and manipu -
lative toys and puzzlbs.

Webelos #222 --Webelos Pack #222 toured the News-
Outlook last Thursday to help them earn a newspaper badge. The
scouts got to see how advertisements and pictures were made using
computers and how the basic lay-out of a newspaper is done.

[ --from front page I
Bath County Education Association,
spoke first to make known her dis-
proval of the newly-approved staff-
ing policy.
The board told her the Central
Office came up with the formula and
that a big reason why the staffing
formula was put into place, was be-
cause of the potential 2.7 percent
mandatory raise the school systems
might be forced to fund without state
aid.
State Rep. Belcher and Sen. Palm-
er addressed the issue. Belcher said
she doesn't think the 2.7 percent
mandate will go through.
"I don't anticipate we'll pass an
unfunded mandate," said Palmer.
There was then confusion on why
the staffing formula was put into
place. Otis said he thought the rea-
son the staffing formula was passed
was because the schools were over-
staffed.
"We weren't looking at dollars (in
cutting staff)," said Administrative
Assistant Tereasa Caudill.
"I think the communication is lack-
ing," Nancy Hutchinson. She also
mentioned that staff was "afraid" to
come to the meeting and speak out.
A parent spoke to ask-the board
how they could allow an outside
force (the state) fo tell them how
many teachers the school system
needed. His question was met with
rousing applause.
Assistant Principal at BCHS Greg
Ramey said, "I understand that there
will be a five and a half position cut
at the high school. I heard we're the
worst school system in the state.
How will cutting staff benefit our
school?"
"We must balance our schools
out," said Watson "We have to look
at everybody."

Some teachers and staff spoke
next, asking about pink slips and
other staffing policy issues.
Another issue mentioned by audi-
ence members was Greg Ramey as a
candidate for principal at BCHS.
Barbara Damron, of BCHS, asked
why the board refuses to consider his
resume.
It was mentioned by a parent that
because Ramey has been in Bath
County School Sytem for five years,
that he could do the job better than an
outside candidate.
It was after that remark, that an
angrv audience member made the
remark, "cause lord knows we don't
want another outsider in here!"
While these issues were still hot,
Crouch was given time to state her
case.
She began by saying, "I want to
apologize to people for making a bad
decision," (concerning her vote to
hire Cheek).
She brought up three items about
Cheek using school money to buy
the staff Halloween candy, using a
school vehicle to pick up flowers in
Jenkins, and paying for hotel rooms
for three staff members attending a
convention.
She also had an invitation to
Cheek's wife January retirement par-
• ty. Sandy alleged that the Cajun-
themed party caused concern and
that school time was used to pass out
invitations.
Laura Cheek asked permission
from the board to speak and said that
she was soley responsible for the
invitations, doing them on her time,
her computer and planning the party
herself.
"I am responsible for the bro-
chure," she said. "What we do on our
