Paducah Tilghman 50-year reunion

May

Three undergraduate students and two Ph.D. students have begun a 10-week internship with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant this summer.

Under the Students at Work Summer Program, the interns are paired with DOE mentors to assist with various environmental remediation projects, including ground-water modeling, health phys-ics and surface water.

“Our interns will help support the safe cleanup mission at the Paducah Site,” said Reinhard Knerr, Paducah site lead. “Through-out the summer, they will apply classroom exercises to actual work application in the fi eld.”

Summer interns support-ing the Paducah Site Offi ce include Wes Whipple from La Center, Jared Frazier from Augusta, Ga.; Yumarie Santillan from Puerto Rico, and Allen Graham from Charlotte, N.C. Birhanu Mengistu from Nigeria will work in the Lexington Site Offi ce.

Whipple, a junior at the University of Kentucky School of Engineering at the Paducah campus, will apply his engineering skills to the nuclear industry by work-ing at the DUF6 (depleted uranium hexafl uoride) facility. Babcock & Wilcox

Conversion Services operate the conversion facility, which converts DUF6 into a more stable chemical form suit-able for benefi cial reuse or disposal. DUF6 was gener-ated during the operation of the Paducah Gaseous Diffu-sion Plant.

Frazier, a senior biology major at South Carolina State University, will work on surface water and soils-related projects.

Santillan is working on her doctorate in environmental science at the Universidad del Turabo, and while in Paducah she will support the Radiation Protection Program by providing direct oversight of DOE’s contrac-tors.

Graham attends South Carolina State University as a senior mechanical engi-neering technology student. He will learn how to review project documents, pro-posals, assessments and reports for the C-400 and Southwest Plume projects, which include removing volatile organic compounds, primarily trichloroethylene, from subsurface soils at the Paducah Site.

In addition to internship opportunities, DOE recently coordinated several science outreach events this year, including a fi ctional envi-ronmental spill exercise with 25 Heath Middle School

students, the 2011 Eco-Fair for 600 sixth graders from McCracken and Ballard counties, and the National and Regional DOE Science

Bowls.DOE owns the Paducah

Gaseous Diffusion Plant and oversees environmen-tal cleanup.

Education honors

Senior Trooper Thomas J. (T.J.) Williams is the 2010 Trooper of the Year.

A nine-year veteran of the Kentucky State Police, he is assigned to Post 1 in Mayfi eld.

Williams issued 2,026 citations, including 777 for speeding, 312 for seatbelt violations and 11 for child restraint violations, in 2010.

He investigated 45 criminal cases and made 279 criminal arrests. Serv-ing 53 warrants relating to fugitives from justice, he also arrested 29 drivers on suspended licenses and conducted 87 commercial motor vehicle inspections that resulted in 94 cita-tions.

As the leader of the Post 1 highway drug interdic-tion team, Williams seized $45,918 in cash and confi s-cated signifi cant quantities of marijuana, prescription narcotics, heroin, meth-amphetamine, cocaine, synthetic marijuana and hallucinogenic mush-rooms. He also produced four informants for street-level detectives.

“It’s a big honor,” Wil-liams said. Over a 20-year career, a trooper only sees

20 top trooper awards given and the recogni-tion displayed for all other troopers to see. That means the honor continues after a trooper retires.

Williams calls the idea humbling that his name and award will be dis-played long after he is gone.

Williams attended school and graduated from school in Livingston County. He and his family — wife Stacy and daughter Kaylee, 2 1⁄2 — live about 3 miles from where he grew up. He started in law enforcement in 1994 and joined the KSP in 2002.

Dear Annie: I am having an af-fair with a married woman. We used to live together and then separated under conditions that were totally my fault. Afterward, I begged her forgiveness and pro-posed marriage. She declined, but we continued our physical relationship. She then abruptly ended this relationship and mar-ried someone else. I was devas-tated. She told me she wanted to be friends, and I told her I never wanted to see her again.

Within months of her mar-riage, she called to say she missed me and wanted to be with me again. Our affair is now in its second year. She says she loves me. I have asked her to leave her husband, but she won’t, either out of fear, embarrassment or an unwillingness to leave the com-fortable lifestyle he provides her. I have told her if she won’t tell him about me, I will do it myself, even though it might mean losing her. But I’m hardly a part of her life now anyway. Do I have a right to do this? — Right or Wrong.

Dear Right: You shouldn’t interfere in someone else’s marriage, either by having an affair with his wife or by confronting him with the in-formation. Your choice is to continue seeing this woman or break it off. We will tell you this: She is not going to leave her husband for you. She will keep you dangling on a string as long as you permit it. Please let her go, and fi nd someone who is willing to return your love and devotion.

Dear Annie: My husband and I received a printed invitation from a friend to attend her husband’s surprise birthday party. Before I had a chance to RSVP, she e-mailed, saying she hoped we could come and, if so, asked that I bring an appetizer. I was taken aback and didn’t realize I was co-hosting this party.

Should I respond that we’ll:1. Attend with the appetizer

and birthday gift?2. Attend, decline on the appe-

tizer, but promise to send money to offset the cost of food and in-quire if there will be a cash bar?

3. Send regrets?I guess I’m having a problem

with asking guests to provide the food. I could understand bringing something if a bunch of friends decided as a group to have a pot-luck or if I had volunteered to cook. What am I to do? — Unwill-ing Co-Host.

Dear Unwilling: It is OK to tell your friend you would love to attend the party but prefer not to be responsible for feeding her guests. How-ever, if this is a very close friend, it would be gracious of you to agree to her re-quest, even though it was totally inappropriate of her to put you on the spot. Main-taining friendships some-times requires overlooking such impositions.

HoroscopesTHURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2011

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Think before you make an impulsive move that will have life-altering effects. There are other factors you aren’t taking into account.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take ad-vantage of any opportunity to pick up in-formation that can help you expand your horizons. Once you make a decision, don’t waffl e or someone you need on your team will lose confi dence in you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your pa-tience will be tested if you get into an emo-tional discussion with someone who needs your help. You must be creative with the way you go about assisting others or you will be taken for granted.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone will keep changing plans. Refuse to give in to anyone trying to control your life. An opportunity is present with the potential to lead to business prospects and partner-ships.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep things

simple and don’t exceed your budget, no matter what you come up against. There will be a chance to make changes that will alter your life or your geographical location and you don’t want to miss out because you spent all your cash elsewhere.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Deception and disillusionment are apparent, espe-cially where business and dealing with col-leagues are concerned. An investment may be tempting but if it goes above and beyond what you can afford take a pass.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Accept the inevitable but don’t instigate change. You’ll have enough to contend with just keeping up with what’s already happening all around you. Put your time, effort and energy into something constructive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can make fi nancial gains if you invest properly or you take an unusual approach to acquir-ing property or items that can grow in value.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are overdue for a change that will motivate

you to reestablish ties with people who can help you get ahead now. You will fi nally get the recognition you deserve.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll feel burdened by responsibilities. The peo-ple who count on you will be more demand-ing than usual. You have to leave room to take care of matters that are important to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can make changes to the way you do things with regard to your health and well-being. Preparation will ensure that you get better results.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone who isn’t pleased with the way you’ve been handling personal affairs will raise an issue that you have been avoiding. Offer an ex-planation before inaccurate assumptions are made.

Birthday Baby: You are accommodating and eagerly work alongside others. You are open and receptive, emotional and intent on helping the underdog.
