This has been a groundbreaking year for traditional music so I'm very proud to have been recognized." Rigsby, who also plays mandolin, guitar and fiddle, was nominated in three other categories including Bluegrass Album of the Year, Traditional Male Vocalist of the Year and Mandolin Player of the Year.

Scott, non-traditional and commuter coordinator at Morehead State University, has been appointed to the Committee on State Government Employees of the Governor's Task Force on the Economic Status of Kentucky's Women. During the one-year term, Scott will be involved in examining issues that affect women and provide feedback to the task force. The next step, Scott noted, will be to compile information. To accomplish this goal, she will be asking for suggestions when she sends out a short survey in the next week. "There are so many issues that we need to determine which are the most important," Scott said, "whether it is retirement, flex time, maternity leave or child care," In November, Gov. Patton and the Kentucky Commission on Women created the task force to examine the barriers that affect the economic progress of women, to identify solutions and to develop a plan of action. Since coming to MSU in 1982, Scott has served as counselor for the Displaced Homemaker Program; coordinator for Job Training Program and counselor for non-traditional students before being named to her current post in 1991. She served on the Education Task Force on Welfare Reform which made recommendations that resulted in House Bill434. Scott is currently director of the STEPS project that provides workstudy wages to K-Tap recipients as part of the community service requirement of the welfare reform act. Scott received her B.S. degree in psychology with a history minor from Abilene Christian University and a master's degree in adult and continuing education from Morehead State. Additional information on the task force or the issues survey is available by calling (606) 783-2102. #### MSU is an affirmative action, equal opportunity educational institution. University Communications Pauline Young, Director News www .moreheadstate.edu Morehead State University UPO Box 1100 Morehead, KY 40351-1689 (606) 783-2030 Feb.5,2002 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BY DON BOWMAN MSU Staff Writer MOREHEAD, Ky.---With higher test scores, rising teacher enthusiasm and growing student motivation, an award-winning set of programs coordinated through Morehead State University is moving mountains to improve literacy in the Pike County school system. "We're already seeing differences," said Dr. Melinda Willis, MSU associate professor of education and director of Pike County's Elementary Reading Academy. "Students are showing more excitement about reading and learning, even when they are not under direct supervision." In the past two years, the district's CATS (Commonwealth Accountability Testing System) scores in reading have catapulted. As of Spring 2001, lOth grade reading scores in each of the county's six high schools have risen by at least 5 percent since 1999. Three high schools (Elkhorn City, FedsCreek and Phelps) had double-digit increases with Phelps leading the pack in an eye-popping 28.3 percent jump. Fourth grade students in the district's 19 elementary schools improved their reading by an average of more than 4 percent. Scores in five elementary schools rose by more than 13 percent. According to results from the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS), reading levels for third grade students climbed from the 47th percentile in 1999 to the 57th percentile in 2001. The biggest improvement came at Kimper Elementary where third grade reading skills improved by an astounding 47 percent in two years! "This program is still young," said Judy Lester, Pike County Schools' director offederal programs, "so we can only hope scores will continue to improve as more teachers go through the academy." After a 1999 internal study pointed to student reading ability as an overwhelming concern among its teachers, Pike County Schools Superintendent Frank Welch began looking for solutions. Using the state­ sponsored Kentucky Reading Project as a model, the district formed a partnership with MSU and established a reading academy for its teachers in Spring 2000.

The Old Regular Baptist faith of the mountains had influenced creative thinkers in the area for generations, and the coming of settlement schools brought secular evaluation from outside the culture. As the people living in the mountains began to understand the uniqueness of their musical heritage, radio technology was becoming available on a much larger scale than ever before. Singers and songwriters from the mountains found eager audiences on a national level. One of these musicians was Bill Lowe, of Pike County, Kentucky. His early experiences with music clashed with his family’s belief system and he found himself caught up in the contradictions of southern spirituality.
