Variety of interests gives senior multiple career paths
BY ANGIE KINSEY
[email protected]
CLINTON, Ky. — Hickman
County High School senior
Jacob Paul is looking forward
to college. Selecting a career
is another story.
“I like everything,” said
Paul, 18. “It’s making it hard
to decide what to do. I love
English and I love chemistry and I love the Spanish
language. It’s hard to decide
what I need to do for a career.”
Paul, the son of Allan and
Melinda Paul of Clinton, is
the C-Plant Teen of the Week.
Each Thursday, the Sun
features a different C-Plant
Teen of the Week selected
from nominees submitted by
high school guidance counselors in western Kentucky
and southern Illinois. The
newspaper article featuring
the student will be displayed
at the C-Plant branch nearest
the winner’s school.
In May, a Teen of the Year
will be chosen from the
weekly winners, earning
a $5,000 scholarship from
C-Plant. Teen of the Week is
part of the Sun’s Newspaper
in Education program.
Paul is president of his
/ii˜ÊœvÊ̅iÊ7iiŽ
school’s Future Business
Leaders of America. In 2007,
he place fifth nationally in
the FBLA Principles and Procedures contest.
Paul also served as captain
of the academic team’s quick
recall team. He competed on
the state level in language
arts last year, and will compete in arts and humanities
this year.
Paul is reporter for the
Science Club, and a member
of Future Educators of America, Gifted and Talented,
Spanish and Beta clubs, the
Teen Action Group and the
Falcon Friends mentoring
program.
“I would say Jacob’s biggest asset is self-motivation,”
chemistry teacher Amanda
LeClere said. “Most kids
don’t have that. If he misses a
day, he gets his assignments
and he makes sure he knows
it before he moves on. He
desires to know it and understand it. Jacob is responsible,
mannerly, dedicated and
organized.”
Paul plays French horn in
the concert band and sings
in the choir. He also plays
the piano. His mother is the
music teacher at Hickman
County Elementary School.
Paul is a member of the Choral Ambassadors of western
Kentucky and was selected to
All-State Chorus twice.
“I don’t know what I would
do if I didn’t play music or
sing,” he said. “It’s just that
important to me.”
Paul, who has a 4.0 gradepoint average, earned his
Eagle Scout rank in 2007 by
tutoring five sixth-grade boys
in math for 12 weeks.
“I’m not a build-it kind of
person,” he said. “With my
grades being the way they
are, I thought I would do better by teaching kids to help
themselves. I had to design a
program and I decided to do a
tutoring service.”
In addition, Paul is a library assistant at school.
“He’s very diligent with his
work,” librarian Janet Gossum said. “He does things
without being told to do
them. He’s an avid reader and
helps promote books. Also, he
has a good command of computer skills, which helps me a
whole lot.”
Outside of school, Paul is
active in the youth group at
Clinton First United Methodist Church and helps with a
children’s program called
QUEST.
“It gets kids off the street,”
he said. “We feed them a little
snack and they learn a little
bit about church and God and
faith in general.”
Paul also volunteers at the
Lakeshore United Methodist
Assembly church camp in Eva,
Tenn., during the summer.
Paul plans to attend Murray State University. He is

“But that’s probably going
to change,” he said.

Chris Brown accepts the award for Favorite Male
Singer during the 21st Annual Kids’ Choice Awards
in Los Angeles on March 29, 2008. After online
petitioners called for Nickelodeon to remove Brown
from consideration for its awards later this month,
the pop star removed himself instead.
Brown withdraws from Kids’ Choice
NEW YORK — There won’t be any awkward Chris
Brown moment at the Kids’ Choice Awards — the
embattled pop star has withdrawn his name from
the ballot.
Brown had been nominated for favorite male singer and favorite song for “Kiss Kiss” at the March
28 awards show on Nickelodeon. The nominations
came shortly before his arrest for allegedly attacking girlfriend and fellow pop star Rihanna.
A petition had been circulated to take his name
off the ballot, but Nickelodeon said on Tuesday he
would remain on it. But with the backlash against
him still strong, on Wednesday, Brown decided to
take his name out of consideration.
musicians are encouraged to
register for the performance.
Eighteen acts will be accepted, with one entry allowed per
organization.
“There will be a certain
number of slots under each
genre,” Belt said. “For the
most part, it’s first come, first
served. We had so much positive feedback from last year,
so we want to spice it up a
little this year. There will be
one or two surprises.”
Appropriate attire is re-
quired. A basis sound system
will be the only equipment
provided.

Jon Stewart, Jim Cramer to take each other on
Associated Press
NEW YORK — They’ve been
zinging each other from afar
through the TV screen. Now
CNBC’s Jim Cramer and Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart will
go face to face.
Cramer is booked to visit
Stewart on “The Daily Show”
tonight.
The “Mad Money” host has
swung back at Stewart following a brutal segment on
“The Daily Show” last week
where CNBC personalities
were hung by their own words
— tapes of predictions on the
stock market that proved hideously wrong in retrospect.
While couched in laughter,
Stewart’s media criticism
Jane Fonda makes Broadway return
Actress Jane Fonda is making her first foray on
Broadway in 46 years.
In writer-director Moises Kaufman’s play “33
Variations,” Fonda, 71, plays an ailing musicologist
desperate to discover why her hero, Ludwig van
Beethoven, spent so much time at the end of his
life obsessing over a third-rate waltz. Though suffering from amoyotrophic lateral sclerosis — or Lou
Gehrig’s disease — Fonda’s character relocates to
Germany to find the answer in Beethoven’s archive,
further straining her relationship with her daughter.

“We want to inform and
enlighten the community
about the mission of the Human Rights Commission and
elevate an appreciation for
diversity,” said Bernice Belt,
who serves on the commission. “We have such talented
and gifted entertainers. We
want to showcase the performers around here. We will
also take a few opportunities
to share information about
human rights.”
Dancers, poets, actors and
made the point that some of
those who cover Wall Street
share blame for the economic
disaster.
Cramer
was featured in
the segment, recommending Bear
Stearns
stock that
later colStewart
lapsed,
like the company itself.
“A comedian attacking me.
Wow. He runs a variety show,”
Cramer said when questioned
about Stewart earlier this
week on the “Today” show.
Cramer conceded he made
some wrong calls, like most
who watch the market. But he
said Stewart doesn’t mention
how Cramer went on “Today”
last October telling people that
if they needed money in the
next five years, take it out of the
stock market. He said anyone
who heeded that advice saved
money.
Stewart couldn’t resist, saying Cramer made being comedian sound like a venereal
disease.

appearance. CNBC reporter
Rick Santelli, who was invited
on “The Daily Show” last week
following his criticism of President Obama’s housing plan,

Organ donors should discuss wishes
so difficult decision easier for family
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “S.C. in New York,”
whose father died while
awaiting a liver transplant.
She encouraged everyone to
fill out donor cards.
I would like to point out
that filling out a donor card
(or the back of your driver’s
license) is not enough. In the
unfortunate event that a person becomes brain-dead and
is a potential donor, the patient’s family has the last say
in whether organ donation
is undertaken after death.
Those who intend to be organ donors must speak with
family members about their
wishes, as they will be the
ones who make that decision
and can decline regardless
of any donor card you filled
out.
It has been my experience
that many families have difficulty making such decisions under tragic circumstances, and by discussing
your wishes beforehand, you
can make it much easier. —
Dr. Lori in Michigan.
Dear Dr. Lori: Thank
you for the reminder. Anyone who expects to be an
organ donor should discuss it with family members in advance.
ANNIE’S
MAILBOX
With Kathy
Mitchell and
Marcy Sugar
Annie’s Mailbox is written by
Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar,
longtime editors of the Ann Landers
column.
Dear Annie: I am 26 years
old and currently live with
my parents due to financial
hardships. My sister, “Kate,”
works a full-time job and has
two boys to support. Kate
recently became engaged
to a co-worker, and they are
expecting a baby in September. She has child care, but
it seems every other week
something comes up with
the babysitter and I end up
watching her kids.
Annie, I love my nephews to death, but I just got
engaged myself. Last week,
I booked an appointment
with a wedding planner,
but Kate called at the last
minute saying the babysitter was busy, so I ended up
canceling my appointment.
This is not the first time it’s
ZIGGY
happened. Out of the goodness of my heart, I’ve been
there for Kate because I
don’t want her to lose her
job, especially with a new
baby coming. But it seems
like every time I have plans,
they need to be put on the
back burner for her.
I feel taken advantage of.
It’s not fair that I have to put
my plans on hold because
my sister has an unreliable
babysitter. Can you help me
fix this? — Stressed Out in
Connecticut.
Dea r St re ssed : K ate
takes advantage of you
because you permit it. It’s
nice that you help her out
and you should do so when
you are able. But when the
babysitter cancels and you
already have other plans,
it’s Kate who needs to rearrange her schedule, not
you. Practice saying, “I
wish I could take the kids,
but I have an appointment
that can’t be changed. Sorry.” If she becomes angry,
so be it.

HOROSCOPE
CHALLENGER PUZZLE
Wednesday’s solution
THURSDAY,
MARCH 12, 2009
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nurture
partnerships of all kinds in order to
get the most from each encounter.
Mingling and getting along with others
will allow you to break new ground for
future dealings. Love is in the stars.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep
things simple, to the point and cost-efficient and you will score points. Use
your voice as a tool to persuade others
to help you. A strong figure in your life
will guide you with his or her expertise.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use your
Gemini ingenuity to mastermind whatever needs to be done to make things
unfold the way you want. There is money to be made and by mixing business
with pleasure, you can network yourself into a good position.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t
confuse your personal feelings with
your professional needs. It’s important
to see situations clearly in order to
make the best decision. Consider all
facets of each situation rather than
impulsively declining.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, socializing and getting to know someone
you love that much better will all be to
your advantage. Be prepared to take
a walk down memory lane and learn
from the experiences you have already
encountered.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are
better off throwing your efforts behind
your work. Talk is fine but if action isn’t
taken, all the words will be wasted and
your reputation hurt. Don’t spend because you are depressed or want to
win someone’s affection.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You will
have to hold things together, even if
you are a little emotionally fragile. Social events and activities that will help
you bring about change will lead to
some great friendships. Be an innovative and imaginative leader.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lean
toward the unusual and pull in from
resources that most would never think
to use. You will surprise everyone with
your clear-cut vision and ability to pull
things together. Don’t let someone
else’s bragging upset your plans or
your world.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Love and romance are looking very
good if you plan an intimate evening
for two. Don’t give in to someone trying to upset your plans. You will learn
something new that may leave you
questioning what you really want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Do
not let any emotional matter or love
issue interfere with what you need
to accomplish. A trip will cost more
or lead to emotional turmoil that you
should be trying to avoid. Don’t fall for
someone who is trying to take advantage of you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You
are ready, determined and able to
make a difference as long as you do
so without brute force. If you talk constructively about your plans, you can
get others to jump on board and help
you finish what you started.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep a
tight lid on what you are trying to do. It
will be the element of surprise that will
be the talk of the town. Your insight
will help you make the right choices. A
love issue is likely to arise, so prepare
to talk matters through.
Birthday Baby: You are engaging,
entertaining and can entice anyone to
help you. You are creative, aggressive
and obsessive.

LO Middle
book fair wins
Lone Oak Middle School
has earned one of four second-place prizes in Scholastic
Book Fairs’ national “Student
Crew” contest, winning a
$1,000 shopping voucher from
Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education
and media company.
Lone Oak Middle School
students participated in the
semi-annual competition by
putting on a spectacular student-run Scholastic Book Fair.
The competition encourages
students to organize their
own exciting book fair by creating contests, designing book
displays, hosting activities
and developing themes, all
aimed at getting kids to read.
Last fall, Lone Oak Student
Crew members organized
an earth-friendly Book Fair
called “It’s a Green Thing!”
Crew members used recycled
materials to create Book Fair
decorations including an 8foot, two-liter bottle made out
of soda bottles that held a sign
that read “Read-Refresh.” To
advertise the Book Fair, students wrote promotional videos that aired on the school’s
closed-circuit TV network
and on the school’s Web site.
Students also created a “Starbooks Café” reading area and
a “Going Green” newspaper
that contained articles about
the importance of recycling.
Four schools, including
Lone Oak Middle, received
second-place awards worth
$1,000 in Scholastic Book
Fairs merchandise.
