of the grown children leave home, parting with one's favorite vacat-ion spot, or selling the family milk cow - each being for the better or being inevitable, but .each creating an emptiness that must be filled by others or by new experiences.,

" A t no time during thetenurS has the job of chief executive for the City been confused iw i th • patronage, politics. "Good admin-istration is good politics." accord-ing to President Reagan. That, at least, has been our goal.

"Highl ights of the service range from: keeping water and tax ' bills down, to expanding.^ater and sewer service for the Fair Ground Hil l area or the Willie Tyler.- Dewey Alcorn neighbor hood: to housing for senior citizens: to shuffle board, ball field, swimming, tennis, child ride recreation facilities for all.

" A t all times an effort was put forth to earn the $50 monthly mayor salary. Also, certain ancil-lary rewards. accompanied the Office, such as the very special relationship that developed be-tween the citizens and me. Each felt free to and somewhat obligat-to bring petitions before the Council. Each phone call was accented with mutual respect, with concern, and was solution oriented. The relationship shall be

. cherished in the coming years. " I f asked" to outline the

qualities desired for. the next mayor, the listing would include a general concern for all. unselfish-ness. honesty, hard-working, reli-able I " other words one who would. "Love mercy, do justly and walk humbly in the presence of their God" (Micah) is sought.

"Secondary mayoral traits include having successfully super-vised more employees than any other individual in Mt.Vernon Rockcastle and having written and administered more state and fed- -eral- grants than any other resi-

dent. While recruiting such an individual might be an impossible objective, achieving it will give the citizens the edge they deserve. In summary, the major gi^Hties of the chief officer are those that we

j jd like in any acquaintance, with the secondary qualities being those dasirejj in the modern public

•pdipinistratior. If the Council asks 1 will recommend someone

who fills this description. "The importance of an office

cannot be measured in money--$50 per month salary, for example --yet including this year the office of mayor has expended approxi-mately $1,000,000 per year for the past five years. Each dollar of this

, million dollars is a dollar of the . citizens money. Who leads does metier.

"Saying goodbye to the Coun-cil members may be the most difficult. A trust relationship exists there where each supports the other, thus enhancing city operations. An emotional bond exists where friends meet and in camaraderie decide how best to help neighbors. We have had no vindictive members or members desiring to serve friends • with blacktop for private drives or other perks.

"Current city government staff are multi-talented. The men are master builders including plumbers, framers. electricians, concrete finishers, roofers. black-top finishers. They are diesel mechanics, welders, dozer and

.backhoe operators. . • "The women are sophisti-cated hostesses, clerk typists, file clerks, writers, receptionists om-budsmen. computer operators, and bookkeepers.

"Having served more years than any current mhyor or-county judge in the eight Southeastern Kentucky counties that comprise

. the'Cumberland Valley Area De-velopment District. . meaningful friendship? have developed.

Learning from these leaders pro-vided a rich growth experience. Thus, elected official to elected official contact shall be missed.

"Finally, the ready willing-ness to help on the part of national officials -- Congressman Rogers. Senators McCdnjiell and Ford, Congressman Hubbard-apd pre-viously CongressmatTCarter. and Senators Cook and Cooper -V has been revealing and appreciated.

"From here, under these circumstances, where to? I 'm n&

•sure. For now I will be going home to Sarid Springs to tend my qarden."

Letters id the

'Editor Dear Editor.

I see by the paper of Oct. 30 Mrs. Margaret Mason complaihs of nq law and order in Rockcastle County. Some shot and killed, some burned alive, some fall over a di?f. A normal man has about 4 quarts of blood yet they never make a blood spot. A dead man

. don't bleed, a dead man don't walk over a jeliff. nobody investi-gates anythmg. No prosecution. In 1972 t h e ^ t a t e appointed two iudges because Rockcastle Co. did not have a county judge that had been to law school and did not qualify to try small claim cases. But prosecuters for ages has heldout cases until limitations cut them ou t ' and the judge would clean up the docket by dismissing them. Look at the paper of Nov. 13. the judge dismissed 7 cases. No prosecution. The prosecutor brings in a Dr. excuse, sick election week. What is he doing holding down 'another,job while drawing prosecutor attorney's sal-ery. ^

I worked with J. Laacke. he was smart, had a Dr. to fillout papers for sick leave pay whilelte was working another job some 30 miles away. They found out some 7 or 8 months Ivor . thoy made him schmart--by fi l inq fraud charges against him.

A county officer thinks he ha? <• been elected and thinks you can't get r id of him. They dropped a Tenn. Governor also a Vice President and would have ousted a president had he not resigned. 2 or 3 good citizens can file charges against' a- county officer in .higher

_court and they will oust him and the state wil l appoint a replace-ment. Look at the paper NOU...13-looks like he has failed badly. Some cases continued 11 time's. 7

Report to Kentucky S E N A T O R W E N D E L L F O R D U.S. Senile. Wnklat 'on. D.C. 20510

NATION MUST FOCUS ON ENERGY POLICIES Our nation faces many challenges today, but one concern I con-

tinue to have is America's energy situation. Energy self-suffiency is of vital importance to our economy. We don't have to look far into the past to see how an energy crisis can strangle the U.S. economy.

Baseball's late Satchel Paige once offered this advice, "Don't look back. Someone may be gaining on you."

Today I believe we are wrong to take that advice. We should be looking back. OPEC is gaining on us. By not looking back, we are al-lowing the circumstances which brought us twin energy crises ig the 1970s to return.

The OPEC nations arc very aware that their low prices are dis- • couraging oil exploration and production in tile U.S. The number of drilling rigs actively searching for oil in the U.S. has dropped from 4,500 in 1981 to only aSout 900. And in Kentucky-we can see just how quick-ly stripper wells are being shut down.

The OPEC strategy is certainly to keep prices low just tong enough for the U.S. to deplete its capacity. Since OPEC member/flwn two- « thirds of the world oil reserves, it will likely, once again, be able to dictate prices and terms. Quite literally, they will have us over a barrel.

- Oil provides more about half of our nation's energy needs, and it is a major ingredient in the making of drugs, clothing, fertilizer and thousands of plastic products. However, the world has only an esti-mated 40 years of oil reserves. In 15 years, the U.S. will begin to con-sume the last 10 percent of our domestic oil reserves.

In the last year U.S. oil imports have grown from 29 percent of our needs to 41 percent. (\nd the extra barrel of oil we use now comes, as it did in 1973, from the Persian Gulf. Experts agree that we are head-ed for a much, much heavier dependence on oil imports in the 1990s.

While our oil supply is dwindling, the U.S. has coal reserves esti-mated for 400 to 500 years, with nearly 10 percent of that in Kentucky. However, we havj a long way to go as far as developing alternative technologies for coal, and in finding ways to burn it more cleanly and more efficiently.

The DOE's Fiscal Year 1987 budget request would have made cuts in fossil energy R & D of 73 percent from the current level of $310 mil-lion. The requested funding for FY 87 was only 15 percent of what it was in 1981. However, Congress restored the 1$86 budget level, and it seems the only remaining federal initiative for energy self-sufficiency is in the Congress."We p&sscd a good framework in the 1970s for our national energy policy. But there are constant efforts to tear it all apart. ^ I will continue to fight any back-pedaling when it comes to our energy policy. We must find ways to achieve stability in our energy mar-kets today, while forming policies that look toward the future.

The biggest job for the 100th Congress will be to reverse the decline in our energy situation. If we do not act now, that decline will acceler-ate and we will have a first-rate disaster on our hands in the early 1990s. It will be a long hard task, but if we begin now, we can put the nation back on track toward energy self-sufficiency.
