For two weeks the
halls of the Bath Coun-
ty Middle and High
Schools have been filled
with, not only the famil-
iar faces of students and
staff but also, gladly,
the faces of community
volunteers from Bath
and surrounding coun-
ties who invested their
time to prepare our stu-
dents for their future.
Operation Preparation
is a state wide initia-
tive handed down from
the Kentucky Depart-
ment of Education in
collaboration with the
Department of Work-
force Development in
which every eighth and
tenth grade studenl
in the state is to be
matched with a commu-
nity volunteer who will
advise each student
on the process of plan-
ning for college and/or
a career upon gradua-
tion from high school.
It is beneficial for the
student to engage with
someone less familiar
and who has a common
interest and for the stu-
dent to be exposed to
professionals outside
their home or school.
The community advi-
sors help bring a differ-
ent point of view to the
student and remind our
future citizens that it's
never too early to start
planmng for them to
reach their potential.
Free of pressure, our
Bath County 8th and
10th grade students
spoke with one of more
than twenty profes-
sionals over a nine day
span about their career
aspirations, whether

the student has been

were surprised at the
process and felt that
the effort was valuable.

Jamie Clark, a corn- -=
munity volunteer from
KCTCS said, "I'm im- -
pressed with these kids. _-=
A lot of them are asking -
questions and have an -
idea about what they -
want to do. Many of -
them already know -=_
what they want and -

Mann called to say, With volunteers
Jesse came home from ranging from doctors
school today excited to artists, Bath County
about his career choice students were . fortu- -
and his future in law
enforcement. He said
he had been matched
by computer as a good
candidate for the pro-
fession and then he was
able to speak with a
Kentucky State Police-
man. He feels like he
will definitely explore
that option now and
is confident about his
nate to have an array
of professionals who
care about the future
of our students and our
community. Preparing
students to be College/
Career Ready through
Operation Preparation
advising has been time
well spent both for stu-
dents and advisors.

Telephone
April 1,2013
Dear Cooperative Member:
Annually, since March 1989, Mountain Rural Telephone Coop.
Corp,, Inc. has been distributing Capital Credits to our custom-
ers.
As you know, Mountain Telephone received a $78 million award
($38.3 million grant & $39.8 million loan) which we continue to
use toward our Fiber to the Home Project. This funding a.k.a.
Broadband Stimulus Funding was made possible by the Ameri-
can Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009. This money is allow-
ing us to build our customers a highly sought after fiber network,
which many of you are now experiencing with Mountain Tele-
phone TV and increased Broadband Internet speeds.
The Federal Government, through the USDNRUS requirements,
CLOSELY RESTRICTS DISTRIBUTION OF CAPITAL CRED'
ITS until 75% of the project construction is complete and Moun-
tain Telephone meets set standards of financial strength AND
stability. Mountain Telephone expects to meet these require-
ments and resume distribution of capital credits in a few years.
During this time of non-payment, your Capital Credits are con-
tinuing to accumulate.
We are so excited about our fiber accomplishments and what it
is meaning to our customers! We feel this is a small price to pay
for the technological benefits our families will receive when the
project is complete.
Sincerely,
Mountain Telephone
