With a mission to elimi-nate hunger among schoolchildren, Walmart has ini-tiated a BackpackProgram for studentsacross Harlan County.Backpack Ministries, ofAshland, is a nationwideinitiative which provideshungry children withnutritious and easy-to-pre-pare food at times whenother resources aren’tavailable, such as week-ends and school vacations.

Lisa Skidmore, enter-tainment/film merchan-dise supervisor atWalmart, said theirBackpack Program was inconjunction with theBackpack program, whichwas started in the countyby KCEOC volunteerJerry Weaver.

“We began participat-

ing in this program lastOctober, and each week adifferent school gets thebackpacks we have donat-ed,” said Skidmore. “Weaverage approximately 15bags per week. In the bags,we place a box of pop tarts,a microwave meal, Ramennoodles, a ready-to-eatmeal in a can, Viennawieners and a can of fruit.Everything is pop-top cansor easy to prepare.”

Skidmore said this pro-gram is just for HarlanCounty and everythingdonated is for HarlanCounty children. She saidanyone who wishes todonate to this program,may come to Walmart,take the food filled bagsthrough the register andpay under $5 each. Shesaid Walmart manager,Paul Meister, purchasesthe bags each week, that

holds the items, to keepothers from having toinclude that cost to theirdonation.

“The schools pick thebags up that we sell, andthey put the items in abackpack for the kids totake home,” saidSkidmore. “Right now,we’re only doing one schoola week. If we could getchurches or other organi-zations to purchase atleast five bags a week, wecould give to every schoolin the county, instead ofhaving to do just oneschool each week.”

More than 18 millionchildren nationwidedepend on free or reducedpriced meals at school toget the nourishment theyneed each day. Skidmoresaid that is why this pro-gram is so important toour community.

While Harlan County hascertainly lost a rather largeportion of its population overthe years, some people havetrouble believing that the lossis as large as the CensusBureau states. In an article byThe Lexington Herald Leaderby Bill Estep, Estep noted thatthe county had lost approxi-mately 13 percent of its popula-tion, according to the Census,from 2000 to 2010.

Census worker MikeGregorio said that in 2000, thecounty had 33,202 residents. In2010, that number had fallento 29,278 — resulting in an11.8 percent decrease.However, what is interesting isthe drop in population not from2000 to 2010, but from 2009 to

2010. A 2009estimate by thebureau placedthe populationnumber at30,956, whichwould havebeen adecrease of2,246 people

over a nine-year time span.This is believable. What isharder to figure out is the hugejump that occurs from 2009 tothe ‘official’ count done in 2010.Once again, the population wasestimated at 30,956 in 2009.The Census listed the 2010population of the county at29,278 — a loss of 1,678 resi-dents.

According to the CensusBureau, the losses accrued inone year (2009-2010) resultedin the county losing what is

equal to 74 percent of what waslost in the previous nine years.Another way of looking at it islike this: From the 2000Census numbers to the esti-mate in 2009, the county lost6.8 percent of its population.The official numbers presentedby the 2010 Census showed thecounty losing 11.8 percent ofits population from 2000 to2010 — an additional 5 percentloss in one year.

The Harlan County schoolsystem reflects a rather alarm-ing decrease in population. Inthe 1999-00 school year, theend of the year student popula-tion in county schools was5,308. In 2008-09, the numberwas 4,148 — a 22 percentdecrease. For the currentschool year (please note theelasticity of these figures.Enrollment numbers change

often over the course of aschool year), the county schoolsystem has an enrollment of4,067 — a 2 percent decreasefrom the 08-09 school year, and23 percent less than what wasenrolled in 99-00.

The Harlan Independentschool system has nowherenear that number of students.Their numbers also do notreflect the population declineas drastically as does theHarlan County school system.In 1999-00, the end of yearenrollment numbers forHarlan Independent was 839.2008-09 seen an end of yearenrollment of 833, and 09-10'send of year numbers were 819— only about a 2 and a halfpercent decrease.

Some within the county saythe Census Bureau did not con-tact them in person, nor did

they receive anything in themail. However, Harlan Countyregistered a 76 percent mailparticipation rate in the 2010Census. The state ofKentucky’s overall mail partic-ipation rate was 77 percent,while the national average was74 percent.

“All I can say is that we hadthe forms sent out,” saidGregorio. “If we didn’t receive aform back from you, we sentsomeone out to the house up tosix times at different periodsduring the response periodafter the Census.”

Gregorio further claimedthat if after these effortsproved unsuccessful, then theCensus workers would thengather the necessary informa-tion from neighbors. Therefore,

Census results a concern for county

Inmates housed in outdated jailLOUISVILLE (AP) — Severe overcrowding at

Jefferson County's jail earlier this year forced cor-rections officials to reopen a 60-year-old former jailto temporarily house inmates.

But the old facility is in desperate need ofupgrades after a 2005 state inspection found it a"threat to the safety of inmates."

The Courier-Journal reports the old jail lacksmodern fire safety systems and the cell doors usean antiquated system to open and shut.

In recent months, the jail population has topped2,100, well over the 1,919 capacity at MetroCorrections' facility. Corrections chief Mark Boltonsays the facility went over capacity too many daysin a row, forcing him to use the old jail.

Bolton used the old jail from Jan. 30 throughFeb. 10, housing an average of about 50 inmates aday.

Hall of Fame adding country music starsLOUISVILLE (AP) — The Kentucky Music Hall

of Fame and Museum will induct a fresh class ofhomegrown stars this week.

Country stars Keith Whitley, Patty Loveless andJohn Michael Montgomery are among this year'sseven artists who will be celebrated at a ceremonyin Lexington on Thursday.

Montgomery said when he was getting his startin country music, he drew inspiration from all thefamous Kentucky-born artists who came beforehim.

"It always kept that little inkling of hope thatyou can be a small town country boy that lovessinging country music, and be able to make it on abig stage like those folks before me did,"Montgomery said in an interview with TheAssociated Press.

Motorists urged to watch for elk PIKEVILLE (AP) — Elk have become such a

common site in eastern Kentucky that policehave briefly closed roads to let herds cross them.

A number of the animals are grazing near theintersection of U.S. 119 and U.S. 23 in PikeCounty

Kentucky Department of Fish and WildlifeResources Biologist Jayson Plaxico told theAppalachian News-Express that it appears thelarge animals had settled between U.S. 119 andTollage Creek, but began moving across the high-way in late winter to graze on grass.

Fish and wildlife officials have begun discus-sions on a longer-term solution, including thepossibility of putting up warning signs formotorists or fencing to keep the animals out.

even though people maynot have received mail ormet with a Census work-er, they were still morethan likely counted.

Another confusing sta-tistic stemming from theresults of the 2010Census involves the cityof Loyall and the appar-ent boom in populationthere. Loyall’s populationwas 766 according to theresults of the 2000Census. From that pointon, the Census’ estimateshad the population inLoyall generally declin-ing a little each year,until it hit 703 in 2008estimates. The 2010Census has the popula-tion of Loyall listed as1,461 — nearly doublethe population in 2000,

and following eight yearsof steady decline, accord-ing to Census estima-tions.

“The 2010 Census is awhole new count,” saidGregorio. “When youhave population esti-mates, those are based onthe previous Census, andthey’re only an estimate.So they’re using like apattern from the 2000(Census). So the 2010would correct that,because it’s a whole newfactual count.”

Gregorio also insistedthat the 2010 numberswere “official.”

Harlan County Judge-Executive Joe Grieshopremembers when thepopulation in the countywas around 80,000. In1980, even, the popula-tion hovered around45,000 people, he said.

Grieshop feels that

international competitionis one issue that is hurt-ing the local, rural popu-lation.

“We’re probably pro-ducing more tons of coaltoday in Harlan Countythan we did in the earlierdays, but it takes fewerand fewer to do it,because we’re so mecha-nized,” Grieshop said.“But also, we have atremendous problem inAmerica with job loss toMexico, to India, toChina, and when theycan produce a product atone-tenth the cost perman hour, it’s very diffi-cult for the U.S. workerto compete.”

Grieshop said that inthe early 1990s, the coun-ty had some factoriescome in, but many haveeither died out or relocat-ed because the financialincentives of moving here

were used up. “So right now in

Harlan County today, wehave to use existingindustry that we canexpand, and thatincludes tourism,”Grieshop said. “That’sour only chance to turnthis around. A lot of peo-ple are leaving HarlanCounty because theycan’t find work. ... Ourfuture, to bring peopleback here to get growth,lies in tourism, lies increating a retirementcommunity where we canget people to have a qui-eter side of life in HarlanCounty.”

Grieshop is not surethat the populationdecline will affect specificfunding for HarlanCounty, however. Hestates that the 30,000-population number (thatthe county went below in

the 2010 Census) is a“magic line” that affectsthe rules that governlocal ordinances and therelationship between cityand county governments.

On a federal level, “ifall the counties aroundus lost enough popula-tion, which we all lost,then we will be re-appor-tioned,” said Grieshop.“The (state) representa-tive may change, therecould be some effects onHal Rogers — he mayhave to take on morecounties because thestate gets divided upbased on population forthe representatives aswell.”

However, Grieshopsees a silver lining in theCensus numbers. Hebelieves the significantdrop in population couldtrigger representatives totake a second look at

southeastern Kentucky. “I think it may help us

because the reason welost population is becausewe’ve lost opportunity forjobs, and so people haveto leave,” Grieshop said.“They have to go some-where where they canhave a job, and I think itwould behoove the repre-sentatives to put moremoney into these areaswhere it applies to jobcreation. So sometimesyou can take a bad thing,which is what we have —and make it a good thingbecause it can bring insome industry. ... Gettingpeople to work together ismy greatest challenge.There is so much animos-ity toward a neighboringcity or a different person,and the lack of wantingto work together just baf-fles me.”

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Tuesday, April 5, 2011

I remember being atFort Hood, Texas, thelargest Army base in theU.S., and reporting onmidterm elections duringthe George W. Bush pres-idency and the Iraq War. Ihad never been to anArmy town in the middleof a war and an election.

I had assumed many ofthe people there wouldsupport a war presidentand his party, which wasfronting a local pro-warcandidate for Congress.

How wrong I was.No one wanted to

speak badly about thecommander in chief. Butover and over, I heardpeople talking about sup-porting the challenger, awoman who was againstthe war despite having anenlisted son on activeduty. At first I spoke topeople in hushed tones,thinking they would wantto keep their anti-warperspectives on the down-low. Wrong again.

Army bases are filled

with people who areagainst war. They knowwhat it is really like, andwhat the loss of a soldier'slife does to a family.

So as I watch our "anti-war" president talk abouthis "non-war" in Libya, Ican't help but think of thecollective sadness thatmust be spreading acrossU.S. military bases. (Did Imiss something, or hasMichelle Obama beenabsent from her high-pro-file visits with militaryfamilies since the assaulton Libya?) A new frontline can only meanextended tours for some,new tours for others, andstepped-up training fornew recruits who thoughtthey might be serving in

Afghanistan only to findthemselves reading upabout Libya.

I am not the only onewho wakes up to theheadlines and feels dreadbecause the leadership weso wanted in our countryhas been replaced byspeeches that are sup-posed to communicatesomething deep (theyonce did), but now feellike ones we heard frompast presidents.

I remember a timewhen I looked forward tohearing a speech byBarack Obama, when mypro-Hillary Clinton hus-band softened to candi-date Obama becausewhen he spoke, he spokeof a new way of thinking,a new way of leading, away to challenge the sta-tus quo.

How could he misjudgethe intelligence of theAmerican people? Howcould this most intelligentof presidents address ournation by saying the

assault on Libya is in ournational interest, that wemust stop a potentialmassacre that wouldstain the "conscience ofthe world." How could hesay we "will be better offwith Gadhafi out ofpower," that he "alongwith many other worldleaders, have embracedthat goal," and simultane-ously assert "regimechange would be a mis-take"? Our collective con-science is stained alreadywith the images of mas-sacres from Bahrain andYemen to Syria. And let'snot forget Darfur or IvoryCoast or Guinea. So no, Idon't believe the intentionis to stop a massacre. It issomething else. And asmuch as PresidentObama applies his prodi-gious reason to speeches,he cannot talk his way outof a double standard of"conscience."

People move toAmerica in order tobecome what they want.After all, individual free-dom is the essence of thesupposed AmericanDream. That was madeclear at an exhibit ofquilts March 25-30 atNew York's Park AvenueArmory, which was builtto honor the first regi-ment that answeredAbraham Lincoln's callwhen the Civil Warbegan 150 years ago.

On display were 651stunning red-and-whitequilts loaned by JoannaRose to the AmericanFolk Art Museum. Thewife of Daniel Rose, oneof New York's most high-minded philanthropistsand well-respected real-estate developers, shebegan collecting quilts in1957. They had neverbeen exhibited in a singlespace like this.

A gala was held on theeve of the exhibit's open-ing. Among those presentwas Richard Parsons,most recently the CEO ofTime Warner. ThatParsons is black saysplenty about how muchthings have changed inthe corporate world.

Those who came out

for the gala stretchedacross the professionsand our highly diversepopulation. These peopleseemed to highlight andcomplement the imagina-tive and varied designs ofquilts that capture ournation's entire history.Indeed, the quiltsreminded many of theirbackgrounds and culturalheritage, especially sincequilts have been centralto various cultures thatare today quintessential-ly American, no matterhow far apart they onceseemed.

Quilts became popularin the 19th century, whenAmerican women sewedthe swatches of materialinto a wide variety offorms and geometricalshapes. Though manyquilts existed solely forhousehold use, many oth-ers were made in supportof abolition and to fundCivil War troops.

Glimpsing their quali-

ty today makes clear howsuperior these quilts areto most nonobjectivemodern painting. Thebest are intricate andbrilliant in the way thatjazz is, a refined musicalform too often overshad-owed by shallow enter-tainment, insipid trendsand academic pretension.

In my Brooklyn neigh-borhood of CarrollGardens, I often ride mybike over to the CloverClub to hear the MichaelArenella Quartet. A finetrumpeter and singerwho concentrates on theAmerican songbook fromthe 1930s, Arenella seeshis style as a rebellionagainst the crude, vulgarand incompetent popmusic of our day. "I liketo hear romance, I like tohear tenderness, and Ilike the vitality of swing,which always makes youfeel more alive," he says.

As I entered thearmory, I spent sometime staring at the por-traits of men who hadlived through the brutalglory of preserving thenation and putting to adecisive end the ball andchain of the plantationsystem. I realized yetagain how little we

understand bravery,glory and honor, all ofwhich made that warsuch an unprecedentedevent, with slavery'sdemise starting us on amarch toward truedemocracy.

Then, to my surprise, Iheard Arenella's familiarbrass tone sailingthrough American musicwith the same precisionand clarity I saw in thequilts dominating thegrand ballroom of thearmory.

The quilts were mosteffective when most indi-vidual, while the collec-tive empathy of timeless-ly good jazz fused withthem and made for one ofthose affirmative, good-time American momentscapable of transcendingone-dimensional materi-alism.

That is the essence ofjazz in all its styles and isthe continuing essence ofAmericana when lived toits most potent vitality,the top and the bottommixed into a seamlessliquidity of many flavors,all recognized for thelight of their deeplyhuman sources.

The last three weeks have been a great time to be abasketball fan in northeastern Kentucky. On both thecollege and high school level, teams have beenthrilling fans and creating memories that will last alifetime by exceeding expectations. ...

The University of Kentucky Wildcats has advancedto the Final Four for the first time since 1998.

Not even their most die-hard fans expected theirbeloved Wildcats to still be playing basketball. Sure,this was a good team, but not a great one, particular-ly when they played away from Rupp Arena. And withan almost nonexistent bench, most thought this UKteam lacked the depth to go far.

But the Cats beat Princeton, West Virginia, OhioState and North Carolina to win a trip to the FinalFour. ...

Pikeville College — a school that plays most of itsgames before small crowds and does not draw a lot ofattention — won the NAIA national title by upsettingWest Virginia's Mountain State in the finals inKansas City. As an unseeded team, few expectedPikeville to win it all, but Coach Kelly Wells, a formerMorehead State and Rowan County star, has built anoutstanding program by convincing talented playersnot recruited by Division I schools to play for the smallschool located high on a hill. ...

Yes, we in Kentucky sometimes get a little carriedaway with our love of basketball and lose our perspec-tive. Success on the basketball court alone does notmake a school great. Yes, success in academics is moreimportant than success in athletics, and UK achievingits goal of becoming a Top 20 research university willdo a lot more for the economy of this state than anoth-er basketball title.

But nothing unites Kentucky like UK basketball,and a Wildcat victory can bring a smile to the face ofeven the laid-off worker struggling to feed his or herfamily in this economy. Even Kentuckians who havenever set foot on the UK campus think of the Wildcatsas "my team" and cheer wildly for them.

Don't tell us that's not important. All of us needsomething to cheer about.

In recent weeks, con-sumers have been experi-encing rising prices at thepump. Every year gasprices tend to increaseduring the spring andsummer months becauseof increasing demand. Aspeople start to enjoy thewarmer weather by enjoy-ing travel and recreation-al activities, demand forgasoline increases and sodoes the price.

However, the pricehikes this year are earlierand higher than normallyanticipated, due to sever-al world events. It can bedifficult to immediately

change your lifestyle toadapt to higher gasprices; however, you canreduce your expenditureson gasoline.�� Make a list of yourerrands before headingout of the house. Plan theerrands in order, so thatyou are not wasting bothtime and gasoline by driv-ing all over town.

�� Clean out your car.Excess weight in a vehi-cle, truck or bed of a truckcan reduce gas mileage.�� Review your springbreak or summer vaca-tion plans. Time off isimportant, so instead ofcanceling your trip, takeadvantage of some of thegreat vacation spotsaround Kentucky.

Regardless of the typeof vehicle you drive, thereare certain steps you cantake to improve your gasmileage. According to theUnited StatesDepartment of Energy:�� Aggressive driving can

lower your highway gasmileage by 33 percent.Avoid high speeds, rapidacceleration, and hardbraking.�� Think twice beforeadding a roof rack forrecreational activities orsummer travel. A loadedroof rack can reduce fueleconomy by five percent.�� Follow your manufac-ture suggestions for rec-ommended maintenance,including using the rec-ommended motor oil.Using a different oil typecan reduce your by gaso-line mileage by one to twopercent.

�� Proper tire inflationcan improve your gasmileage by 3.3 percent.The correct tire pressurefor you vehicle can befound either on a stickeron the driver's side dooror in the owner's manual.�� Finally, consider get-ting a tune up. Fixingproblems, such as an oxy-gen sensor, can make abig difference in yourmiles per gallon, improv-ing MPG by possibly asmuch as 40 percent.

Allowing your car toidle not only wastes gasand money, it also resultsin increased vehicle emis-

sions. Vehicle emissionsemit pollutants into theatmosphere that areharmful to human healthand the environment. Agood rule to follow is thatif you plan to be parkedfor longer than 10 secondsturn your engine off.Remember: Idling equalszero miles per gallon,save gas and money.

Dear Dr. Brothers:Everybody tells me Ishould be happy where Iam. I was lucky enough tojust get an interview formy university job, letalone the position itself.But after working herefor three years, seeingpeople come and go, see-ing some of them just staythere until they retire, Ican't help but wonderwhat the heck I'm evendoing there. I know withthe economy it seemsrude to complain abouthaving a job, but I'm get-ting really miserable. Ifeel so trapped — help!

S.S.

Dear S.S.: Some peo-ple feel trapped by anykind of routine that ismandatory and uponwhich their livelihooddepends. Because youneed the money so des-perately, you naturally

place a great deal ofemphasis on not rock-ing the boat, trying tolike or love your joband not lose it. But ifall this effort is beingput into a job you don'treally like, just tomake sure you can liveday to day withoutfinancial problems,you could be fighting alosing battle. Keepinga career going today isa difficult undertaking— especially if youdon't really like whatyou are doing.

A new study out ofthe AustralianNational University

has confirmed that notjust any job will dowhen it comes to beinghappy; in fact, peoplewho went from theunemployment line toa less-than-satisfacto-ry job were more likelyto be depressed thanthose who had noplace to work. So if theplace where you areworking is notthrilling you, it wouldbe a good use of yourtime to turn to a bit ofself-analysis and seewhat factors enter intoa happy environmentfor your career. TheInternet is full of guid-ance, with quizzes andresources to help youidentify what is impor-tant to you in a job.Armed with thisknowledge, you'll havethe ability to try toreorient your currentjob into one that better

suits you, or help youfocus on the rightthings in a hunt for anew job.

* * *Dear Dr. Brothers: My

friend is an artist who canhardly make ends meet.She fits the stereotype ofliving in a run-downbuilding, wearing thesame clothes she wore inhigh school. She doesn'treally have to live likethis, as people are offer-ing to buy her paintingsall the time. She doesn'twant to sell anything, andit drives me crazy! Howcan I make her see thatshe's sitting on a greatrevenue stream? I justdon't get it.

J.N.

Dear J.N.: Yourfriend has her ownreasons for maintain-ing the starving-artistlifestyle, and it proba-

bly would be an inter-esting conversation ifyou asked her to sitdown and explain it toyou. At the same time,you might want to con-sider how you wouldfeel if your positionswere reversed: Howwould it feel to beasked to justify ordefend your own wayof life — whether it besleeping till noon ordoing the daily 9-to-5grind? No one likes tofeel that the way theyspend their time is upfor public criticism.Yet I can see how itmust frustrate you towant better things foryour friend, whichseem to be within hergrasp, yet unchosen.

Being an artist is alot different from mostoccupations. It's notthe same as working inthe widget factory. No

one labors to makewidgets and then is tooattached to them tooffer them for sale. Allartists struggle withthe conflict betweenusing their imagina-tion and creativity togive birth to uniqueobjects and letting itgo up for sale, especial-ly if they create one-of-a-kind objects. Andimagine trying to put aprice tag on your art.Your friend either willpersist in the simplelifestyle she has cho-sen, or at some pointwill — perhaps out ofnecessity — begin toshare her art with oth-ers. Perhaps you canstart by asking to buya piece of hers that youparticularly like. If sheagrees, that could openher eyes to the possi-bilities she's beenrejecting.

Is this the right job — for the rest of her life?

UConn pulls away for NCAA titleHOUSTON (AP) — Kemba

Walker scored 16 points andConnecticut beat Butler 53-41on Monday night to give JimCalhoun his third nationalchampionship, somethingonly four other coaches havedone.

The Huskies did it withdefense holding the Bulldogsto a Final Four-record low18.8 shooting percentage (12for 64).

Connecticut capped one ofcollege basketball's best post-season runs, winning sixgames in the NCAA tourna-ment after winning fivegames in as many days to winthe Big East title.

It was the second straightyear Butler lost in the cham-pionship game. Last yearthey were beaten 61-59 byDuke.

Walker didn't match his

25.0 averagein the tourna-ment, but theHuskies didn'tneed a lot ofpoints playingdefense asthey did.

Calhoun, aHall of Famer

who has won the three titlesin four Final Four appear-ances, joins John Wooden(10), Adolph Rupp (7), MikeKrzyzewski (4) and BobKnight (3).

The 68-year-old Calhounbecame the oldest coach towin a national championship.The oldest had been PhogAllen of Kansas who was 66when the Jayhawks won in1952.

Shelvin Mack, who led

Butler with 13 points, hit a 3with less than a second toplay in the first half to givethe Bulldogs a 22-19 lead andChase Stigall hit a 3 just 22seconds into the second halffor a six-point lead — thebiggest of the game by eitherteam to that point. After that,it was all Huskies.

Butler had two longdroughts in the second half asConnecticut built the lead toas many as 13 points.

The Bulldogs went 7:07without a field goal — miss-ing 13 shots — and theHuskies went from down 25-19 to taking a 33-26 lead.

The second Connecticutrun saw the Bulldogs go 6:09without a basket, and theHuskies took a 41-28 lead ona jumper with 7:32 to play.

Butler missed nine shots inthat span, and when AndrewSmith scored — he converted

another one of the manymisses — the crowd gave asarcastic cheer.

At 22-19, it was the lowestscoring first half since 1946.

Butler was 6 for 27 fromthe field (22.2 percent),including 5 of 14 from 3-pointrange. The Huskies weren'tmuch better, shooting 29 per-cent (9 of 31), and theymissed all five of their shotsfrom behind the arc.

The scoring was extremelyslow. The Bulldogs started 2of 15 from the field, both bas-kets being 3-pointers in nineattempts.

The Huskies reached thechampionship game by beat-ing fourth-seeded Kentucky56-55, while Butler moved onwith a 70-62 victory overVirginia Commonwealth, justthe third No. 11 seed to reachthe Final Four.

Final Four runcaps satisfyingseason for UKBy WILL GRAVESAP Sports Writer

HOUSTON (AP) —John Calipari doesn'texpect it to take 13 yearsto get Kentucky back tothe Final Four.

The coach would prefernext spring, though it'sunclear who will be alongfor the ride. The pro-gram's first trip to thenational semifinals inmore than a decade mighthave been too good for itsown good.

Center JoshHarrellson is graduating.Freshman BrandonKnight's breakout per-formance in the NCAAtournament has him pon-dering the NBA.Classmates TerrenceJones and Doron Lambcould join him in thedraft. Ditto defensivestopper DeAndre Liggins.

Though another waveof McDonald's All-Americans stand at theready, they'll have towork to match theachievements of this sur-prising group that wasn'tsupposed to be goodenough or deep enough toreturn the Wildcats tocollege basketball'sbiggest stage. Not with-out freshman center EnesKanter, whom the NCAAruled permanently ineli-gible in January foraccepting improper bene-fits from a Turkish clubteam two years ago.

The decision left theWildcats with a short

bench andonlyHarrellson,whoplayed allof 88 min-

utes as a junior, as a truepost presence and forcedthe team into someuncomfortable growingpains.

Kentucky wobbledthrough the winter, los-ing six road games in theSEC and looking inca-pable of coming throughin the clutch.

"Early in the season,we didn't play well as ateam," Harrellson said."From there we just gotbetter and better eachgame. A lot of peopledoubted us. We proved alot of people wrong."

Particularly in March.The Wildcats roared

through the SEC tourna-ment, trouncing Floridain the title game. It was-n't enough to impressNCAA tournament offi-cials, who madeKentucky a No. 4 seed ina crowded East regionthat included top-overallseed Ohio State.

No biggie.Kentucky escaped the

Braves rally for win over BrewersBy CHRIS JENKINSAP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE (AP) —Lucky bounce or not, DanUggla will take it.

Uggla's deep fly ballbounced off the top of the walland over for a tiebreakinghome run in the eighth inning,helping the Atlanta Braves toa 2-1 victory over the winlessMilwaukee Brewers onMonday.

"I knew I hit it good. I knewI hit it low," Uggla said. "I did-n't think it was going to carrythat far."

Atlanta trailed beforeMartin Prado led off the eighthwith a homer off TakashiSaito. With two outs, Ugglaconnected against Saito for hissecond homer with the Braves.

Uggla, who was 2 for 13heading into the game andwasn't happy with his firstthree at-bats Monday, said hewas happy to give his newteam a lift.

"I was maybe a little bitoveranxious on my first three

at-bats," Uggla said. "To getthe go-ahead home run, thatwas a pretty cool thing. It's myfirst week with a new team inthe season and a lot of excite-ment."

Peter Moylan (1-0) got threeouts to get the victory, andCraig Kimbrel struck out theside in the ninth for his secondsave.

Before the eighth-inningrally, the Braves failed tomuster much offensive supportfor starter Brandon Beachy,who gave up four hits, includ-ing Rickie Weeks' homer, in sixinnings while striking outseven.

"He gets in some jams,"Braves manager FrediGonzalez said. "He doesn't givein. He makes some toughpitches. His stuff got better asthe game went on. His com-mand of the breaking ball gotbetter."

Weeks continued hisimpressive start forMilwaukee with his thirdhomer of the season leading offthe third.

Beyond that, it was the con-tinuation of an ugly start tothe season for the Brewers,who were swept in a three-game series at Cincinnati.

The Brewers aren't overre-acting to their rough start, butthey're certainly frustrated.

Asked for his thoughts onthe loss, Milwaukee thirdbaseman Casey McGeheepaused, then chuckled.

"What do you want me tosay?" he said.

McGehee acknowledgedthat the Brewers need to playbetter, but they also could usesome good luck.

"We had a ball hit the top ofthe wall and bounce away fromus," McGehee said.

Saito (0-1) struck out NateMcLouth and got ChipperJones to ground out beforeUggla hit a deep fly ball to left-center that hit off the top of thewall and bounced over.

"He hung a breaking ball toUggla," new Brewers managerRon Roenicke said. "It was theright pitch, he just hung it alittle bit."

Zito is ‘Dialed In’to Kentucky Derby

The first time trainerNick Zito won theKentucky Derby 20 yearsago, he couldn't stopscreaming for Strike theGold.

"Show me the way!" hehollered over and overfrom the stands atChurchill Downs as Strikethe Gold rallied from 10thplace for a 1?-length win.

Now a Hall of Famerand two-time Derby win-ner, Zito is hoping his lat-est 3-year-old colt, DialedIn, will show him the wayto the winner's circle onthe first Saturday in May— now less than fiveweeks away.

"Once in a while a spe-cial horse comes around,and he's a special horse,"Zito said after Dialed In'slast-to-first charge for ahead victory over 68-1 long

shot Shackleford in the $1million Florida Derby onSunday.

Zito said he hasn't beenas emotional since Strikethe Gold, and then showedwhat he meant. Chokedup and with tears wellingin his eyes, he added:"Excuse me, even big guyscry."

With a third win fromfour starts, Dialed Insoared to No. 2 in TheAssociated Press' latestTop 10 list of Derby con-tenders. A son of 2003Horse of the YearMineshaft, Dialed In isowned by Robert LaPenta,who shelled out $475,000for the bay colt at the 2009Fasig Tipton select year-ling sale at Saratoga.

"He just has an incredi-ble heart. And unbeliev-able talent," LaPenta said.

BOB RUTHERFORD/Harlan Daily Enterprise

Harlan County shortstop Braxton Fields turned a double-play at second base during a victory over KnoxCentral earlier in the season. Fields and the Black Bears suffered their first loss of the year on Monday,falling 12-4 to T. Worthington, Ohio.

Buckeyes then poured in22 points against NorthCarolina in the regionalfinal to send Kentucky tothe Final Four for thefirst time since 1998.

It all came to a suddenstop against Connecticut,when Kentucky needed20 minutes to find itself.

"I guess we weren'texpecting everything thatgoes on with the FinalFour, all the pressureand everything,"Harrellson said. "We justcame out and let it get tous."

Knight tried to lift therest of the team on hisback, but his legsappeared weakened bythe load. He missed 17 ofhis 23 shots — includingfour in the final minutes— and gave it up toLiggins on Kentucky'slast meaningful posses-sion of the season.

Liggins' 3-pointer wasshort, and the Huskiesmoved on to face Butlerin the national titlegame.

"When it ends, you falloff a cliff," said Calipariafter his team finished29-9.

But the drop shouldn'tbe too steep. Not withanother top-rankedrecruiting class coming toLexington next year, agroup that includes big-man Anthony Davis andpoint guard MarquisTeague.

Who they'll get to playwith, however, won't bedecided for weeks. A yearago the Wildcats lost fiveplayers to the NBA,including top overall pickJohn Wall.

Knight and companywill have a more difficultdecision on their hands.The threat of an NBAlockout looms, as does asense of unfinished busi-ness after coming withina basket of takingKentucky to the nationaltitle game.

All three freshmenbrushed off questionsabout their future in aquiet locker room onSaturday, thoughLiggins, who became afather earlier in the year,acknowledged he's con-

sidering turning pro.If he leaves, he could

cross paths withHarrellson, who turnedheads with his sometimesspectacular play againstsome of the best big menin the country and devel-oped into the emotionalleader the Wildcats need-ed.

"We fell short from ourgoal we wanted, but I'mhappy with my team-mates," Harrellson said."I'm happy how theyplayed, and I'm happyhow far they've come."

Calipari knows hemight have to start allover next fall.Reinvention is part of theprocess when you recruitplayers whose stay oncampus could be brief.

Cincy off to solid startCINCINNATI (AP) —

The defending NL Centralchampions have openedthe season playing likethey belong in first place.

And, maybe more.The Cincinnati Reds

swept their opening seriesagainst the MilwaukeeBrewers, considered one oftheir top challengers in thedivision. The Reds and thePhiladelphia Phillies —the team that swept themin the first round of theplayoffs — were theleague's only unbeatenteams left on Monday.

A win at home overHouston on Tuesday nightwould give the Reds theirfirst 4-0 start since 1990,when they led their divi-sion wire-to-wire and wontheir last World Serieschampionship. It wouldalso continue their domina-tion of NL Central rivals.

The Reds made theplayoffs for the first timein 15 years by beating upon the rest of the NL's

weakestdivision.Theywent 49-30againsttheCentral,postingwinningrecordsagainst

everyone except theCardinals.

They're at it again."Whoever we play

against, it's very impor-tant," second basemanBrandon Phillips said."We've got to try to get asmany wins as possiblebecause we're not trying towait until the last minuteto try to clinch something.Of course, it's important tobeat teams in our division."

Phillips isn't the onlyone thinking about clinch-ing so soon.

The Reds started win-ning back fans with theirplayoff push last season,

and it's carrying over.They drew only 1.7 millionfans in 2009, their small-est gate since 1986. Thatincreased by more than300,000 last year, whenthe Reds surprised every-one by pulling away fromthe division.

They packed them in forthe first series at GreatAmerican Ball Parkdespite nasty weather. TheReds didn't disappoint,winning opening day onRamon Hernandez's two-out, three-run homer inthe ninth. They then fin-ished the sweep.

"Honestly, I think itdoes more for the city thanit does for us," saidPhillips, who had a three-run homer on Sunday. "Itjust shows the city, letsthem know that we'rehere, we're going to do thisagain, and y'all just bettermake sure you keep com-ing out here to support usbecause we really needthem.
