Good guys with guns, in Madisonville next school year.

Greetings from Asbury Park, New Jersey; Paducah and seven other places, per USA Today.

"There are several guidelines, which include: ..." reads the tee-up to a bulleted list in a Kentucky Standard staff report on a Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist and Convention Commission grant program. For my money, the most interesting of those guidelines are that "(r)equests may be made for start-up and/or operational costs, including staffing, for local non-profit organizations’ tourism-related project or event" and that "(f)unds awarded to festivals and events are normally awarded on a sliding scale, for no more than three consecutive years. (Assuming, of course, all other guidelines are met.)" Both seem well-conceived to me, assuming the notion of the granting program is to spark new tourism-oriented activities, as opposed to sustaining them. Anyway, I find this whole report interesting, congratulate the not-credited Kentucky Standard staffer (maybe an intern) who put it together and wish the Bardstown-Nelson County Tourist and Convention Commission the absolute best of luck in achieving its goals.

OK, the primaries ... localwise, my wife and I rocked the Hopkins County Precinct 27 vote late yesterday afternoon at our local Shriner’s Rizpah Temple. We were accompanied by our daughter and one of her fourth-grade friends, who spent their day off playing together, and at the polls we ran into my wife’s parents, a woman we go to church with, a couple we used to go to church with and the woman who owned our house two owners before us. Nary a fistfight broke out, so we celebrated by taking the girls for milkshakes and me a corndog. My wife, who is all about sensible choices and self control, thought long and hard about a white-chocolate Twix and dark-chocolate KitKat—but passed on both so as not to spoil her supper. The joke was on her, however, as it turned out my 4 p.m. corndog was powerless against my almost-undefeated appetite--I still ate double helpings of mac-and-cheese and white beans just a couple of hours later. As my wife and I tidied up the kitchen and the girls frolicked with some neighborhood kids in the sprinkler, we listened to (sublime) Danny Koeber read returns on WFMW Classic Hit Country AM 730, as they rolled in from the Hopkins County Clerk downtown. The big news was that barbecue-magnate Kevin Cotton edged two-time-incumbent/hailed-CPA/gospel-singer David Jackson in the Republican primary for mayor--and, furthermore, Danny divulged after polls were closed that he had heard a rumor that Democratic challenger David Oakley, who was unopposed in the primary, would discontinue his campaign if Kevin beat David J. (David O and Kevin both used to work for the city, but it was unclear whether David O was considering forgoing the November general because he and Kevin are friends or because his main goal was to unseat David J or some other reason.) Anyway, all of this is fine with the two eligible-voter Democrats in this Precinct 27 house, as, though we think David J has done a fine job and have had nothing but positive experiences in our interactions with him, we also love Kevin (and his barbecue) and believe he is an inventive thinker with a heck of a lot of energy and a demonstrated orientation toward the least of these. We couldn't vote in the GOP primary yesterday, but we had already pretty much decided to cross lines and cast for whichever Republican come November. I think Kevin will do great.

And, statewise, here's the AP's unsurprisingly sturdy roundup.

Oh, Kentucky

The Rev. "Woehler believes this model is duplicable for new and existing churches: it’s an affordable model to launch in another community – requiring only a place to share a meal, communion set, and willing convener. For existing churches, potlucks could be a new offering to reach community members who may be yearning for a meal or open discussion. 'I believe that our history, polity, and culture as Disciples of Christ (in all its varied diversities) makes us uniquely positioned to live and grow into alternative church styles that God is creating in our midst.'"

Nicole Ares delivers a tremendous, chilling and damning piece of reporting and writing in the United States’ best college newspaper: "A review of more than 1,200 pages of records obtained through public records requests to seven Kentucky universities revealed 62 employees in violation of their universities’ sexual misconduct and discrimination policies since 2011. Fewer than half of the employees were terminated from their positions. Some resigned and moved on to other universities, which would be unlikely to know about the misconduct. Other employees received punishments ranging from warnings to sexual harassment training sessions and were allowed to remain in the classroom or on staff. These statistics do not include incidents at schools, such as WKU and Kentucky State University, that refused to release records related to sexual misconduct and discrimination altogether."

Kentucky High-school Football, Class 4A Round of 16

Madisonville-North Hopkins has made this beautiful trip before, but it has not made for a happy ride back home. 

The Maroons went to Franklin-Simpson in the second round of the 2011 playoffs and lost, 20-17. They returned last fall and lost, 20-16. And now Madisonville-North Hopkins (9-2) is headed back to Franklin-Simpson (9-1) in in the Region 1, Class 4A semifinals today.

Down in Region 4, Covington Catholic is even more accustomed to the longer road out to Johnson Central in Paintsville.

Five times in the last six seasons, the CovCath Colonels and Johnson Central Golden Eagles have collided in the playoffs--all five times in Paintsville. The results:

-- Johnson Central 49, CovCath 14 in 2008

-- Johnson Central 51, CovCath 32 in 2009

-- Johnson Central 41, CovCath 28 in 2010

-- CovCath 45, Johnson Central 15 in 2012

-- CovCath 42, Johnson Central 14 in 2013

The Colonels come in to tonight's game at 7-4. The Golden Eagles are 11-0.

Previous reports:

-- Round of 32 preview and wrap

Kentucky High-school Football, Class 4A First-round Wrap

A couple of close Region 2 decisions knocked out two teams that I thought might advance to the semifinals (Shelbyville Martha Layne Collins, the defending state champ, and Spencer County); otherwise, the first round of the Class 4A playoffs was filled with blowout wins by favorites. So let's get on to the fact that I actually attended a game! Part of one, anyway.

My daughter's elementary school had its fall festival last night, so I didn't get to Madisonville-North Hopkins until the Marching Maroons were finishing their halftime show. It was the band's first performance since earning its 10th consecutive Class 4A state championship, and they sounded terrific!

Allen County-Scottsville opened the second half by recovering an onside kick. Then the Patriots turned the ball over, but, then, so did the Maroons.

Down the field, AC-S drove.

Eventually, on third down from the 1, a Patriot runner barreled into the end zone to pull AC-S to within 33-14 (after a conversion pass for two points).

That's as exciting as this story gets, however. Madisonville-North Hopkins went on to win, 46-14. And I left at the start of the fourth quarter, because I was cold. I wish I would've taken a picture of the $6 ribeye sandwich that I purchased from the concession stand; it was really good. I did, at least, get this picture showing off how AC-S's jerseys read "PATRIOTS" across the back, over the numbers. I really like that.

Here were all of the 4A first-round results:

-- Owensboro 49, Breckinridge County 0

-- Bowling Green Warren East 38, Calloway County 0

-- Madisonville-North Hopkins 46, Allen County-Scottsville 14

-- Franklin-Simpson 62, Hopkins County Central 6

-- Goshen North Oldham 48, Nelson County 0

-- Louisville Western 49, Collins 43

-- Louisville Doss 35, Spencer County 32

-- Louisville Fairdale 44, Louisville Waggener 6

-- Lexington Catholic 48, Clay County 6

-- Rockcastle County 28, Marion County 7

-- Boyle County 45, Russell County 22

-- Barbourville Knox Central 21, Taylor County 21

-- Fort Thomas Highland 44, Boyd County 7

-- Ashland Blazer 49, Covington Holmes 14

-- Covington Catholic 39, Greenup County 8

-- Paintsville Johnson Central 67, Harrison County 14

And here's the updated bracket.

I would like to know more about the following questions:

-- Whatever happened to W.B. Jackson, who coached all five Ashland Kittens winners in the early era?

-- Why did Louisville (in 1927) and Lexington (in '28) discontinue girls' basketball sooner than the rest of the state?

-- Were there teams around Kentucky that continued playing interscholastically after 1932 when the KHSAA stopped sponsoring regional and state tournaments?

-- Why did West Louisville, a community in Daviess County that today seemingly turns up in the direct path of any tornado that makes its way across western Kentucky, excel at girls' basketball, and how was Owensboro doing at the same time? Same question for Woodburn, a community in Warren County, in relationship to Bowling Green?

-- Why Laurel County five times in 15 seasons, and why none in the last 21?

Maybe we'll learn more about those next KHSAA girls' basketball season.

When I was living in Cary, N.C., in 2003, I entered an essay contest sponsored by my local newspaper and then completely forgot about it until about two years later. One afternoon, procrastinating from work, I Googled my name, the name of the essay and the newspaper name, and--sure enough--a story about the contest results came up. First place had gone to a 12-year-old; second, to a 15-year-old; third, to a 13-year-old. Honorable mentions also went to a couple of other teen-agers. Then, the story read, that I, "age 37, also entered the contest." On my little writer's resume now, in the awards and honors section, among various little second places and honorable mentions with various state press associations and what-not, i've listed, "The Cary News essay contest, Mention, 2003." And so to the adults considering participation in the writer's workshop at Columbus-Belmont State Park on May 21, I say, you've been warned.

On the other hand, we of Heath Post Nation who live in Kentucky encourage those of you who live in the South (Virginia, for example) to seriously consider entering this contest.

And those of you with a storied history with libraries, even those of you who don't live in Kenton County (maybe you live in, say, Idaho), might want to consider this one.

Now this. These are really weird times in Horse Branch.

More evidence that the recession's impact has been less severely felt in Kentucky than most places.
