Jobs Now Slow Down

According to Mr. Elmer J. Leet,
Institutional Parole ,Officer, all
men who were scheduled to begin
the next “cycle” with Jobs Now,
Inc. of Louisville, will have an
indefinite wait.

Mr. Marshall Abstain, Intake

. Coordinator for Jobs Now has no—

tified the institution that the
“cycle” has been discontinued until
an undisclosed date.

Mr. Leet suggested that if a
man who was going to be a part
of the Jobs Now program has de-
finite employment, he should send
out another set of papers to that
employment. This way, Mr. Leet
pointed out, the man can have one
set of papers being processed. If
they are approved, we will then
send his first set back to Frank—

fort and release him to the job he.

has secured on the second set. If
the second set, for some reason,
is not approved, he will still have
a valid set of papers from Jobs
Now and only has to wait until
they begin operations once again.

The reason for the further con-
tinuance to a future date of the
“cycle” was given as the present
slow—down in work in the Jefferson
County area.

 

Color TV—and Curtains To

No, that isn’t just a figment of
your imagination, someone has
been putting curtains up in your
Television and Recreation Rooms.
According to James Ware, Chair—
man of the K. S. R. JayCees’ Cur—
tains for Dormitories Project, the
idea was to place the curtains in
every T.V. Room so that we would
not have glare from outside light
sources playing on the screen when
we were trying to view our fa-
vorite shows.

Danny Kiefer and Gary Kiefer,
who are working on the project

 

with Jim Ware, have been busy

all week putting up the curtain
rods and curtains to insure that
they were all in place before the
arrival of our new color T Vs’.

The next time you see a member
of the JayCees, or any Club that
is helping to improve our little
community, show them that you
do notice these small efforts—thank
them.

 

 

Data Processing

The Data Processing section of
Prison Industries is in full swing
as the holiday season approaches,
and the key—note is on new men
and new programs.

A night shift has been in effect
since the 17th of November, there—
by increasing the output almost
two—fold.

Eighteen men have been as—
signed to Data Processing since
the lst of December and are now
involved in a revolutionary (for
Data Processing.) On - The — J‘ob
training program. From the re-
sults to date, this program would
seem to be very effective.

Some of the people instrumen—
tal in training the new key-punch—
ers are Leon Blackstone, Phil
Johnson, Steve Richardson and
Mike Wilkerson.

Employees trained in this field
are much in demand on the streets,
so that these men are not only
learning an interesting type of
work, but one that builds for their
future, also.

Mr. Jim Pickett, Supervisor of
Prison Industries has obtained
new contracts for Data Process~
ing, and these new punching pro—
grams will be implemented under
Mr. Howard Garrett and Mr. Ed—
mond Waters, day and night shift
supervisors respectively, in the
coming new year.

Jobs For the Future

There is an old adage that says
it is better to give than to receive.
Some truth must lie in those words
because every day we see instances
of this. One of the more recent
examples of this giving is right
here at the reformatory.

Every year, the Kawanis Club
of LaGrange collects, repairs and
distributes toys to the underpriv-
iledged children in Oldham Coun-
ty. The Sheriff collects the toys
from the donors and turns them
over to the Kawanis club. From
that point it is up to the Kawanis
club to have the toys repaired so
that they can be given to the chil-
dren for Christmas.

When several men here at KSR
heard that the Kawanis Club
needed volunteers to help repair
the toys, they took the challenge.
For the past week the men have
been giving their time and ener-
gies for these children, most of
whom they will never see or ever
hear of again.

For that reason, the Skytower
New 5 would like to give credit
where it is due. Although Jack
Short and Bobby Sadler will never
see any tangible profit from their
unselfishness, we bet they are glad
they’ve made the sacrifice.

 

 

The headquarters of The United
States Jaycees is in Tulsa, Okla.

 

 

Cost of Crime

The Department of Corrections
asked for a budget of 23.6 million
dollars for the next two years, (11.
8 million per year). The Gover—
nor’s proposed budget has allo-
cated for the Department of Cor-
rections $18.2 million, a cut of $5.
4 million.

According to a State Budget
BreakdOWn given in the Courier-
Journal, the Reformatory operated
at a cost of $2,988,692 in 69-70.
The proposed budget for the years
70—71 and 71-72 are $3,227,115 &
3,350,350 respectively.

Notice All Clubs

With the start of the new year
it occurs to me that no organiza—
tion should exist unless it has a
purpose, plan, and organization.
By that I mean:

(a) An organization should

have purpose which serves
1. Its group
2. Each individual in it
3. The institution in
which it functions.

(b) It should have a plan for
carrying out these pur—
poses in some organized
manner.

It should have leadership
to serve the purpose and
carry out the plans.

(C)

 

In order to establish your pur-
pose (goals), your plans, and your
organization for the year ahead
(calendar 1970), please submit to
me, via Mr. Keowyn, your outline
of planned activities and programs
which will serve the above, not
later than Wednesday, January 28,
1970.

iS.P.A.D.E-Xmas Party

The up and coming S.P.A.D.E.
Club held its annual Christmas-
New Year’s Party on December
29th. The affair was spiced with
invited guests, door prizes, a deli-
cious chicken dinner and various
game—board tournaments. Mem—
bers of the S.P.A.D.E. Club start-
ed gathering at the gaily decorated
clubroom in Dormitory No. 8 at
4:00 P. M. to take part in the
tournaments being held. The meet—
ing was called to order at 6:30
P‘.M. by President Gary Barrow.
President Gary welcomed the in—
vited guests — Mr. Howard C. Kas—
sulke, Associate Warden for Treat—
ment; Mr. Harold E. Keowyn,
Club Co-orinator, Mr. G. C.
Vanderpool, Club Advisor, and
Mr. John B. Southard, Assistant
School Principal. A certificate of
Honorary membership was a—
warded to Mr. Kassulke who ex-
pressed his appreciation and his
desire for all the clubs to work
together in their goals. He stated
his wish that all the clubs pub-
licize their activities in the SKY-
TOWER NEWS and in that way
inform other men on the yard
and their families at home of their
interests and goals. A certificate
of Appreciation was also extended
to Mr. Vanderpool for his help
and interest in the S. P. A. D. E.
Club. It was brought to the atten-
tion of the membership that Mr.
Keowyn was already a Honorary
member of S.P.A.D.E.. Charles
McVVorter, a member, was pre-
sented a Certificate of Merit for
his past work.

President Gary then unveiled
S.P.A.D.E.’s newest project The
Electric Letter Writer. Briefly,
this is a recording device that used
miniature records. The records are
almost indestructable and can be
mailed for the price of a regular
letter. The S.P.A.D.E. Club will
make use of this machine available
to the general population so that
they can record and send home
spoken messages. The idea behind

 

the project is that the S.P.A.D.E.

 is

Proclamation
Whereas, the civic bodies and service organiza-

tions of our community and the departments of
the local government recognize the great service

rendered by the K. S. R. JayCees, and
Whereas, The United States JayCees and its af-

' filiated state and local organizations have set a-

side the week of January 18-24, 1970, to observe
the fiftieth anniversary of The United States
fayCees, and

Whereas, this organization of young men has
contributed materially to the betterment of this
community throughout the year,

Therefore, I James F. Howard, Warden of the
Kentucky State Reformatory, do hereby pro-
claim the week of January 18-24, 1970, as Jay-
Cee Week and urge all citizens of our commu-
uity to give full consideration to the future
services of the JayCees.

 Club feels that often times the
spoken word is more meaningful
than the written one. As soon as
final details are completed, tickets
will be sold in the Inmate’s Can—
teen. The Letter Writer will be
used in the S.P‘.A.D.E. Clubroom
on Saturday Mornings.

Following the report on the new
project, the drawing for the door
prizes was held. Winners were
Frank Williamson and Larry
Croft. The drawing over, Presi—
dent Barrow called for a “social
hour” so that everyone present
could become acquainted. During
the “social hour” dinner was
served.

The “social hour” over, the
members and guests were shown
films of a Ski Meet at Sun Valley,
Colorado, titled Attack. we of
S.P.A.D.E. would like to thank
Granville Howard for making
the film available.

Speaking for all the members of
S.P.A.D.E., I wish you a very
Prosperous and Happy New Year.

 

Color comes to inmate

The heading “Inmate’s Can-
teen” is by no means a misnomer,
it is exactly that, a Canteen for
the inmates of this institution. Any
profits from the Canteen come
back to the inmate population
through various expenditures such
as paying for eye—glasses and an
annual budget to the Chapel, Ath—
letic Department and School Pro-
gram. In truth these three depart—
ments could not function adequate—
ly without the Canteen budget.
Each of the inmate organized
clubs are given an annual donation
from the Canteen Fund, so we at
the Canteen are involved in the
JayCees, S.P.A.D.E., A.L.T.E.R.
A/C, A. A., and H.E.L.P. Clubs.
And, all the outside entertainment
that performs on the Gym Stage
is paid for by the inmates Canteen.
But we are wandering from our
subject matter, so lets go back a
few. weeks. .

At a recent meeting of the Canteen
Board, apprOval was given fOr the

 

0

purchase of a Color Television
for each Dormitory Recreation
Room. These sets were delivered
to the Inmates Canteen on Decem—
ber 15 of this year. At this time
the Vocational Radio 3‘ T.V.
School personnel are putting up
outside antennas on each dormi—
tory and the sets will be installed
approximately December 23, 1969.

The acquisition of these tele-
visions should be appreciated by
each of us confined here at La—
Grange, for they are delicate pieces
of furniture and are extremely
expensive. A very large percentage

.of the “Free People” outside can—

not afford one and yet we are giv—
en one for our enjoyment. Each
of us helped pay for these sets
each time we purchased some item
from the Inmates Canteen, so let’s
not destroy or mutilate OUR tele—
visions.

Those Bowl games are going to
be better than ever for us on a
23-inch color screen. The only way
that we can show our apprecia—
tion for this Christmas present is

to take care of the televisions and-

not let them be abused by some—
one that isn’t interested in Sports
or whatever else may be on tele—
vision.

 

Pay Raise Due

Guards here at the state refor—
matory (and other state institu—
tions) will be getting a raise in
pay shortly if the budget proposed
by Governor Nunn is approved by
the Kentucky General Assembly.

G o v e r nor Nunn’s budget in—
cludes $548,000 to provide pay
raises for the correctional officers
of the state institutions. This mon—
ey would be used to upgrade the
guard pay during the next two
years. According to Department
of Corrections officials, this=wou1d
mean raises for about 450 officers.
The Department of Corrections al-
so noted that Kentucky ranks 48th
in the nation in its pay-scale for
prison employees.

This proposed pay raise is the
only proposed salary increase in
the budget. “But,” as a Go'vernor’s

aide noted, “this pay raise is in re—
sponse to a crying need”.

If the proposed raise is not ap—
proved by this General Assembly,
it will be two years before it can
be reconsidered.

 

 

The Tigers Den

The Varsity Tigers opened their
season Sunday, December let,
1969, against the GUT HRIE A.
C. from Jeffersonville, Ind.

The men from across the river
looked good, but they just couldn’t
keep up with the fast pace set by
the TIGERS. James Smith pitched
in 36 points and led the TIGERS
to an easy 112-99 win. Alton
Moore, the tallest 5’ 9” forward
anywhere, had 20 points for the
TIGERS.

The Madison Merchant’s from
Madison, Indiana invaded Tiger-
land Sunday, December 28, 1969
with the hopes of leaving with a
victory. Their hopes were all in
vain as J. Smith (25 pts.) and
Alton Moore (24 pts.) led an at—
tack that never gave up until the
final buzzer was sounded. The fi—
nal score was 106-86 and the Ti—
gers were 2-0 on the season.

Expectations were great on
Sunday, J a n u a r y 4th because
Larry Pursiful (former U. K. All-
American) was bringing his team
from Hodgensville, Kentucky, in
to meet the roaring TIGERS. The
“old timers” a r o u n d here were;
speculating a. defeat for the Tigers
because they had seen Pursiful
perform downion the “Mountain.”
The Tigers, not easily impressed,
never lookd back after Earl Stover:
layed one in on the opening tip—off.
The Tigers went on to win 105~7 7
Pursiful had 22 points for the
losers and at times showed some
of his shooting and passing bril-
liance that made him a true All
American. Stover had 24 points
for the Tigers followed by James”
Smith with 20’points. ' .

Tigers Tumbled

Can this be so? Unfortunately
it’s true. The Tigers are no
longer undefeated. It all happened
on a snowey Sunday afternoon
January 11, 1970. Gutheries A. C.
from Jeffersonville, Ind., were late
getting here due to bad roads and
were very apologetic about having
brought only five players with
them, but what those five play—
ers did to our team is just about
unbelievable. The game started as
most of our Tiger games do, with
the home team jumping out to a
5-0 lead. The Tigers didn’t stay
in front very long as Bobby
S t e w a r t, Donnie Stemler and
Ralph Guthie, all of Louisville
K. B. A. fame, led the visitors to
a 61-53 half—time lead. Both teams
played first—class ball the f i r st
half, and the game was much
closer than the eight point differ—
ence shows. James Smith led the
home team with 17 points and
Stewart led the visitors with 19
points at the intermission.

When the teams came out on
the court after the break, the vis—
itors looked tired and it looked
like the home team might run away
with the game as they tied up the
ball game 77—77 with 12 mintues
to play. Stemler, who had been
giving a concert with his “string
music” all afternoon got hot at
this point in the game and dropped
in 6 fast points to put the visitors
ahead 83-77. Earl Stover, of local
fame, started giving a concert of
his own and brought the Tigers
to a 104—104 tie.

The two teams swapped baskets
and with 1"é mintues left, it
looked as if the game would go
into overtime.

A three-point play by Stewart
put the visitors ahead and the
Tiger 3 were never to catch up.
Two turn-overs by the Tigers

 

and a couple of field goals by
Stemler put the game out of reach
The final score: Gutheries 115,
Tigers 111.

Earl Stover led the home team
with 31 points and James Smith
tossed in 29. Stemler and Steward
both gave sparkling performances
for the visitors as they combined
for 76 points, 39 and 37 respec—
tively. James Bryant of the Tigers
showed that he really is as good
as everyone said by getting 23
points and 11 rebounds. The
Tigers had four more field goals
than the visitors (50 46), but the
winning margin came at the char-
ity line where the visitors outshot
the Tigers 23-11. ‘ ,.

In all, it was a very fine game

played by two very fine ball teams,
and even though defeat never has
a very sweet taste, I think that
everyone who saw the game will
agree that the Tigers are a great
team and all of us who know
them are proud of their effort.
I think that everyone who saw the

The Tigers as a team are very
potent in their scoring, averaging
108.5 points per game compared
to 95.8 for their opponents.

The leading scorers for the Ti—
gers are:

J. Smith 27.5
E. Stover 20.7
A. Moore 14.3

J. Bryant 12.7
J. Elliott 12.3
W. Caudle 9.3

 

The Muscle Factory

The weight room has been‘get—
ting a lot of use during the cold,
gray, winter months and if all
this activity keeps up, it will look
like Muscle Beach around here

 

come spring.

Dillard Harris and Mike sells,
the two instructors, say quite a
few new faces are being seen un—
der the iron bars.

Little Eugene Mitchell, our 125
lb. Power Lifter, is really work—
ing out hard and should be in
great shape to help the team this
year.

Lou McGavic and his partner
Joh n Rosenbarger must be get—
ting ready for the‘ ‘streets” as they
both have been pushing a lot of
iron lately. ’

Charlie Rosenbarger and Mike
Sells have been working out to~
gether and both of them are look—
ing real good. Ronnie Hall, a
member of the power lift team is
keeping in good shape and is just
waiting for the next meet so he
can show his style. Harry Lee
Hayes said he has the'trimmest
195 1b. body anywhere.

Sorry About That _'

In the last issue the name of
Joseph David Shepard was inad-
vertently left off the list of Trophy
winners. Joe won the First Flight
in the K. S. R. Annual Golf Clas-
51c.

 

 

Checkerboard Square

A lot of action has been taking
place on the Ping—Pong tables and
some of these guys might become
a threat to Earl Stover’s crown
as the King of Ping-Pong at the
next tournament.

Shubie Williams, Jack Bartlett,
Ralph Jennings and Henry Green
well have all been batting the ball
around pretty good.

 

Is Eddie Dobson really the King
of Ches 5? Maybe Frank Glen
knows the answer to that.

 The Boxing Dilemma

What has happened to all our
boxers? Coach Pike has been try—
ing to line up a fight card for
later in the month. All men who
are interested can sign up on the
telephone platform. Melvin North—
ern, one of our ex—boxers is back
with us again and said he may
try to get in shape for the next
card.

Holiday Classics

T h r e e intra-—-mural basketball
tournaments took place over the
Holidays here at K. S. R. and each
one provided thrills and surprises
worth remembering.

The first game in the Kentuc—
ky League Tournament got under-
way on December 26th between
the Bullets and the Comets. At
the end of the regular play the
score was tied 51—51. At the end
of the lst overtime the score was
still tied, 53—53. The secondover—
time period only set the stage for
the climatic “Sudden Death” over—
time. In a “Sudden Death” over—
time, the first team to score a
field goal wins the game. McKinny
Bell sunk one for the Bullets and
they won 61-59. McKinny Bell
had 28 points for the winner and
Roger Bailey had 37 points for
the Comets.

Herb Ross coached the Onery 5
to a 40—35 win over Jack Bartlett’s
Fabulous 5 in the sec-0nd game.
P. Sanders had 11 points for the
winners. '

Robert King and his Celtics
edged out the Bullets38—37 in the
Semi—Finals. Dan Smith had 10

 

Q

points for the losing Bullets.

The Championship game found
the Onery 5 up against the Celtics.
W. Sizemore had 11 points for
the Celtics as they won 47-44.

The State League Tourney was
also played the day after Christ—
mas. The first game was played
between the Midgets and the Bul—
letts (Coached by B. Lyons). The
Midgets won 49-41 as Joe Cain
pumped in 14 for the winners.

The second game saw defense
prevail as the Whiz Kids turned
back the Comets 33 — 20.0.
Buchanan had 7 points for the
Winning Whiz Kids.

The Semi—Final game saw Cain
and Christian pass and shoot the
Midgets to a 32-16 win over the
Bullets.

In the Championship game a
team effort by the Whiz Kids gave
them a 34—32 victory over the
Midgets. Christian had 17 big
ones for the Midgets, but it just
wasn’t enough.

The Club League and the Sat—
urday Morning League combined
for the third tournament. The
tourney was played on the 2nd day
of the new year.

The frst game was between the
H. E. L.P. Aces and Hud’s Hor—
nets. Big Ben Duncan and the
Aces were just too much for the
Hornets as they won 48—24. Cren—
Shaw and Duncan had 20 of the
24 Hornet points.

The second games contenders
were the S. P. A. D. E. Gambelers
from the Club League and Earl’s
Upsetters of the Saturday Morn—
ing League. The Upsetters did
just that as they won 32-31. John
Gregory had 14 points for the Up-
setters.

The third game was between
Alter A. C. and Tommy Kimbrell’s
Mag 5. Alter A. C. won 38—27.

The fourth game was between
the strongest teams in the tourna—
ment, H. E. L. P. Aces and the

A. A. Stoners. The Aces won the '

game 33—25. George Wilson had
9 points for the winners and Jerry
Hudson had 15 points for the
Stoners.

I ’

 

Earl’s Upsetters won out over
the Tired Tigers in the fifth game.

In the Semi—Final game, the H.
E. L. P. Aces set down the Vans
38—23.

The Upsetters set back the Alter
A. C. in the other quarter-final
game 33-31.

The Championship g a m e was
between the Aces and the Upset—

ters. It was a close game all the

way, but the Upsetters went down
58-53. ‘

Fever Hits K.S.R.

No amount of rest or medica—
tion can cure the fever that is go—
ing around here. The only shots
that the Doctor has prescribed are
hook shots, jump shots and foul
shots.

You may not be aware of it, if
you haven’t been out of the Dor—
mitory for the past three or four
weeks, but a new basketball sea—
son is beginning to unfold all a—
round us.

There are 20 teams playing in
four leagues here at KSR. The
league a person plays in is de-
termined by his ability. We have
back with us this year a varsity
team that will play against stiff
outside competition.

Here is a rundown of the
Leagues and Teams.

The Kentucky League:

This league is composed of five
teams with 8 men on each team.
The skill of the men playing in
this league is of the highest quali-
ty. The coaches are Herb Ross
the Onery 5; Jack Bartlett with
his Fabulous 5; Robert King with
the Celtics, Joe Haycraft’s comets
and the “Baron” himself, Bud
Lyons, with the Bullets. These
men coach in the Kentucky League
and the State League. Without
the cooperation of men like these
our program just wouldn’t be pos—
sible. Now, let’s take a look at the
teams.

The current league leaders are
the Onery 5 with a record of 4
wins and no losses. Herb Ross has
a great bunch of men and a lot
of talent in the likes of Kelly

 

 Moffitt, Jimmy Woodard, Willie
Caudle, Greg Cotton, William
Waite, Paul Carr and big Paul
Sanders. This team looks like it
may be the one to beat.

Robert King and the Celtics are
in 2nd place with a record of 3
wins and one loss. Bob has Jazzy
Williams, Arthur Broyles, J. Size-
more, T. Head, R. Workman, D.
Sowell and C. Granison going all
out for him, so he’ll end up in good
shape.

Tied with the Celtics for 2nd
place are Joe Haycraft and his
Comets. Roger Bailey, Herb Clay,
Pete White, B. Roberson, Darryl
Lewis, Carl Wayne and David
Jackman team up for What could
be the league’s surprise team.

Along way back in fourth place
with a record of 1 win and 4 losses
are the Fabulous 5, coached by
Jack Barlett. Jack has “Clutch”
Bryant, A. Cross, D. Deadwyler,
R. Chandler, J. Green, F. Baker,
H. White and M. Millhouse play-
ing for him, and these men should
come around before the season is
over.

The last place Bullets (0-5 won-
lost record) and Bud Lyons, seem
to be having their problems. But
Dan Smith, McKinny Bell, Carl
Roach, Jerry Scales and company
have the talent to make it a real
close race before the season is
over

The State League lines up like
this:
Whiz Kids ............................ 3 — O

Lakers .................................... 2 — 2-

Bulletts .................................... 2 - 2
Midgets .................................. l - 1
‘ Comets .................................... O - 3
The playing level of the men in
this league is just below that of
the men in the Kentucky League.

Next in line is the Club League.
There are six teams in this league
representing all the self-help clubs
plus the staff team. The Staff, the
Alter A. C., and the A. A. stoners
look like they may be too much
for the S. P. A. D. E. Club, th e
JayCee and the H. E. L. P. Club
teams.

The Saturday Morning League

is for the men just" beginning to
develop their skills. There are four
teams in this league and this is
how they are shaping up so far.
Mag 5 Coach Leon Kendrell 5—2
Hud’s H. Coach Jerry Hudson 4—3
Upsetters Coach Earl Stover 4—3
Vans Coach Dan Smith 1-6

To all the men at LaGrange
that tried to help Stevie McCray
and the ones ’who would of helped
if they could. I wanted to tell you
where your money went. We laid
Stevie to rest on January 13. Your
money paid for a little blue suit,
white shirt, blue tie and a plot to
rest in the Good Shepard Garden
of Roselawn Gardens, at Middles—
boro, Ky. We were grateful for
men like you to help in our time
of sorrow. May the Lord Bless
you all.

Good Thinking

Recently, a member of S.P.A.D..
E. Club, Ed Griffin, read an article
in the Courier Journal concerning
the outstanding task the Cincinnati
Burn Center has undertaken in re"—
pairing otherwise, hopelessly scared
victims of fire — mainly children.
The Burn Center Operates on a
“pay as you can” ba‘sis.’ Most of
it’s patients are unable to pay for
extensive specialized s e r vi c e s ,2
making the Burn Center practically
a non—prfit organization-

S.P.A.D.E. Club “was impressed
by the tremendous. service to man-
kind being performed by the Burn
Center. What could they do to help?
They do not have helpful (large)
amounts of money, but they do have
blood—one pint per person-ready and
available! When blood is needed,
nothing else can take it’s place-not
even money. Regardless of a per—
son’s financial status, death is in--
evitable if necessary blood is not
replaced or replenished when
needed.

S.P.A.D.E. strikes again! Every

member of the club marched him—
self over to the Gym when the

Blood Mobile Unit visited us here,
and donated his one pint of blood
specificaly for the Burn Center.
Under the auspices of the Am-
erican Red Cross, the blood will
be sent to the Burn Center accom-
panied by a list of names of those
men who donated their blood to
them. This is S.P.A.D.E.’s way
of saying “Burn Center, We’re
behind you, keep up the good work!
