160 gallons prepared
Sauce Is Made By Volunteers For Barbecue By Jacob Parker
One-hundred and sixty gallons of sauce was prepared last Thursday at the school kitchen in anticipation of the annual Barbecue. The two-day sauce-making process began at 7:30 a.m. Thursday morning, and lasted until around 2 p.m. that day. Each of the 35-gallon vats took around an hour and a half to cook, depending on whether it was cooked in the tilt skillet or the water-jacketed kettle. The second day is devoted to bottling the sauce into half-pint and pint containers. Pat Bruce, who has volunteered at the fair for the past 30 years, said six of these vats are prepared to meet the demand for the sauce. “Everybody has always wanted the sauce, and years ago when
we started this, we took jars from different people in town. And it could be any size, from a pickle jar to a coin jar,” she said. “We put it in that because when you’re down at the Barbecue and people ask you to buy some sauce, there’s no time to pour it up.” This much sauce wasn’t always made, however, until demand grew. “The first batch I ever made we began making four (vats) and we ran out; we made five and we ran out; so we went to six, and it seems to maintain right now,” Bruce said. To make selling it more fair, Bruce said they decided to start selling the sauce in containers found through IGA. “That way, we could commercialize it where everybody could get the same —Continued on page A8

Schools Say Good-Bye To Five Staff Members By Jacob Parker Five school staff members from the Dawson Springs Independent School System retired last week after years of dedication. Superintendent Charles Proffitt said that those who retired were a phenomenal staff. “When you have people with the wealth of knowledge that those people have all leaving at the same time, it’s kind of unfortunate for us,” he said. “They were some backbone folks for our administration.” Donna Parker had worked as a secretary at the high school since November 1992. Parker said that it was a great place to work. “It’s made me more toler-
ant and understanding,” she said. After almost 21 years, Parker plans to enjoy her retirement by relaxing and enjoying time with family. Phyllis Menser, most recently teaching second grade, was a teacher for 35 years. Menser said she loved seeing the children’s accomplishments and progress throughout the school year. “The best part is seeing the face of a child struggling with something and then just gets it, you know what I mean?” she said. Planning to substitute teach at some point later on, right now Menser has other tasks at hand. “I have to get things done around the house and outside that I haven’t had time

GED Test Is Free The GED® test will be free in Kentucky through July 31. Kentuckians taking the test during that time frame will not have to pay the usual test fee, which will be paid by Kentucky Adult Education, a unit of the Council on Postsecondary Education. “Our message is don’t wait until later in the year to start work on your GED®,” said Reecie Stagnolia, vice president, Kentucky Adult Education. “Get started now to take advantage of the free testing.” The GED® test provides adults who did not finish high school with the opportunity to certify their attainment of high school-level academic knowledge and skills. Normally, the entire test taken the conventional way on paper costs the test taker $60. The fee for taking the entire computer-based GED® test is $120, a cost set by the national GED Testing Service. Free GED®
classes are available through local adult education programs in all 120 Kentucky counties. It’s particularly important for those without a high school diploma to pass all five parts of the GED® test this year because the test will change Jan. 1, 2014. In Kentucky, approximately 16,000 people have started taking the test but have not completed. All previous scores will expire, and anyone who has started but not completed will have to start over. The last test date in Kentucky this year will be Dec. 18. Kentuckians interested in free classes and the time-limited free GED® testing should contact the adult education center in their county to discuss how to get started. To find the local adult education center, phone (800) 928-7323 or visit www.KnowHow2GoKy. org and click on “Adults.”

psc Issues reliability order
Electric Utilities To Provide More Detailed Information
The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) has ordered electric utilities in the state to provide it with more detailed information about the reliability of their distribution systems. In an order issued May 30, the PSC directed utilities to track distribution reliability on a circuit-by-circuit basis and to identify those circuits for which reliability declines. Utilities will be required to submit plans for improving the reliability of circuits with declining performance. The first reports under the new requirements are due by April 1, 2014. With the order, the PSC revises reliability reporting requirements that first took effect in 2007. Prior to that time, Kentucky had no uniform reliability reporting standards for electric utilities, beyond a requirement to report significant outages. “One of the PSC’s fundamental roles is making sure that regulated utilities in Kentucky provide safe and reliable service,” PSC Chairman David Armstrong said. “These new reporting requirements will significantly enhance the PSC’s ability to monitor the performance of electric utilities under its jurisdiction.” Under the new requirements, utilities will continue to report overall distribution system reliability using several standard indices commonly used by electric utilities. The indices measure the frequency and average duration of outages. That system-wide information “is not sufficient to render a judgment on a utility’s specific reliability performance” because they reflect only broad averages, the PSC said in the order. “It is possible for system-wide indices of a utility to mask significant and persistent performance issues within the system” and reflect overall improvement while obscuring problems with specific circuits, the PSC said. Therefore, the PSC is requiring utilities to compile annual reliability data for every circuit in a system AUTO

and to compare that annual figure against an average of the preceding five years. Circuits that perform worse than the five-year rolling average are to be identified, and information provided about the number and causes of outages and date that vegetation removal was last performed on the circuit. Utilities also are to submit a plan for each underperforming circuit, detailing the measures taken or planned to improve its reliability. A utility also may submit any information that helps explain why the circuit’s reliability declined. “With the data provided per circuit, the commission believes it can have sufficient information to assist in analyzing reliability and in effectively exploring the utilities’ plans for any corrective actions,” the PSC said. The system-wide averages are to be calculated both with and without outages caused by major events such as severe storms. Circuitspecific performance calculations are to exclude such major outages in order to give a better picture of circuit reliability under normal operating conditions. The PSC stated that neither the system-wide nor the circuit-specific reliability data should be used to compare systems or circuits
to each other. Rather, they are to be used to track performance over time, the PSC said. The new reporting requirements have been under development since January of 2012 when the PSC opened an administrative proceeding to examine the adequacy of the reliability reporting standards in place at that time. In developing the new requirements, the PSC surveyed the electric utilities it regulates. Nearly all supported maintaining the current reporting requirements that collect data on overall system performance and require utilities to identify the 10 circuits in their systems with the lowest reliability. Most did not favor tracking circuit-bycircuit performance. The order and related documents are available on the PSC Web site, psc.ky.gov. The case number is 201100450. The case which established the now superseded requirements is 2006-00494. That case file is also available on the PSC Web site. The PSC is an independent agency attached for administrative purposes to the Energy and Environment Cabinet. It regulates more than 1,500 gas, water, sewer, electric and telecommunication utilities operating in Kentucky and has approximately 90 employees.
KSP Has Grand Opening Of Laboratory Branch The Kentucky State Police Western Laboratory Branch held the grand opening on May 29 for its new facility located at 4415 Hanson Road in Madisonville. In December 2008, a decision was made to pursue another facility due to limited space and changes in technology. The result was a new construction designed specifically to meet the needs of the Western Lab. Employees were given the opportunity to provide input into the design of the new building.

contract was awarded in August 2011, and construction began shortly thereafter. The 9,240 square foot facility is approximately 1,800 square feet larger than the old facility that was located in the Martin Mall Office Complex on Thornberry Drive. Improvements include single-story construction, an air lock entry, an evidence receiving room, a large storage room, a conference/training room, new fume hoods, better utilization of workspace for the various disciplines and a state-of-the art computer server and phone system. The chemistry section was designed approximately 800 square feet larger than the previous facility. There are six KSP Forensic Laboratories statewide, all ISO 17025 compliant, being accredited through the American Society of Crime Lab Directors Lab Accreditation Board International Program. Generally, the Western Laboratory Branch provides breath alcohol maintenance, blood alcohol, solid dose drugs, forensic biology casework screening and polygraph services for agencies west of the William Natcher Parkway. The new laboratory officially reopened for analysis Jan. 16. The staff consists of two administrative assistants, six chemists, one forensic biologist, two breath technicians, one polygraph examiner and the commander.

UK Experts Announce That Beef Supply Is Lowest In U.S. By Aimee Nielson Just as the summer grilling season is heating up, beef supplies across the country are down, meaning it might cost a little more to host that backyard party. In fact, the number of beef cattle in the United States is reportedly less than 30 million—the lowest number since the early 1960s. And when numbers go down and feed prices go up, consumers end up paying more at the grocery store. “In the interest of telling the whole story, productivity has also increased since that time,” said University of Kentucky College of Agriculture economist Kenny Burdine. “But, the combination of fewer cattle over the past several years and generally strong export markets has left beef supplies relatively tight.” UK beef specialist Les Anderson explained that for the past several years, many beef producing areas of the United States have experienced drought situations and increased feed costs. “Drought affected vast segments of many of the beef producing states, and that led farmers to reduce the number of cattle they produce,” he said. “Also, many feed costs have been markedly higher during the drought periods, so ranchers have been reluctant to hold onto their cattle simply because it costs too much to feed them.” Because of those conditions, Burdine said the industry has seen sizeable decreases in cattle inventory in many areas—most notably the Southern Plains. “Many areas have been impacted by the weather, including the Southeast,” he said. “Another factor worth
noting is that we are seeing a considerable conversion of pasture and hay ground to row crop production.” Even in Kentucky, beef cow numbers are down, about 15 percent from January 2007 to January 2013, but beef specialists expect the beef industry in the state to hold steady. “Kentucky farmers have leased land, previously used for pasture, to crop farmers because of high prices being paid for land leases,” said Roy Burris, UK beef specialist at the UK Research and Education Center in Princeton. “But, a lot of land here is not suitable for cropping, so the best use for that land is to continue grazing. Barring any severe droughts, I really think cattle numbers in Kentucky will hold steady.” All that said, consumers still have a strong demand for beef products, and that means the United States will export about 2 percent less beef and import about 15 percent more. “Even with strong demand, U.S. beef consumption per person dropped to about 55 pounds per year, compared to 63 pounds in 2008,” said Lee Meyer, UK College of Agriculture economist. “It had peaked at 94 pounds in 1976 and was at about 65 pounds just 10 years ago.” Jim Robb, director of the Livestock Marketing Information Center in Denver said in a recent Wall Street Journal article that in 2012, Americans spent $288.40 per person on beef, a 4.2 percent increase from $276.80 a year earlier as retail prices rose. He said U.S. beef sales reached $90.6 billion last year, up from $86.4 billion
.75
in 2011. Yet volume is in decline. At the grocery store, consumers will be in for some sticker shock as experts expect beef prices to set record highs in coming weeks. Although it won’t make a significant difference in overall beef supply, Kentucky does have many producers who produce beef for local markets. Meyer said that as feedlot production costs have gone up so much, the relative cost of producing beef on Kentucky pasture-based systems has decreased. “Kentucky is becoming more competitive in local beef markets, and this will support market growth,” he said. It’s hard to tell when the situation will stabilize or reverse. In the big picture, this is only part of a cattle cycle that producers know well. “Supply and demand ebb and flow in what producers recognize as the ‘cattle cycle,’” Burdine said. “Most cycles are approximately 10-year periods where the number of U.S. beef cattle is expanded and reduced in response to how producers perceive changes in profitability. But, with the constraints facing managers, this expansion may see long delays.” The cattle cycle seems relatively long because it takes time between when cow-calf producers decide to expand their herds to breed more beef cattle and the time when those animals reach harvest weight. “There are always many fluctuations in prices and profitability for producers and consumers alike,” Burdine said.

By Hawkins Teague Murray Ledger & Times
University of Louisville’s KFC Yum Center. “I enjoy working for the governor and the first lady (Jane Beshear),” Ray said. “They’re wonderful people.” While many state troopers in the governor’s detail live in Frankfort, Ray lives in Murray, where he grew up, and drives home every week for his days off. He said it is tough being away from his children during the week, but he and his wife got tired of living in the Frankfort area away from their extended families. “I get a surprise reaction from some people when I’m walking around; they’ll say, ‘Did you come in from Frankfort?’ and I’ll say, ‘No, I came in from Murray.’ They’ll look at me (quizzically), but I say, ‘This is home for me,’ because I drive back and forth every week.” Ray said he enjoys traveling and meeting new people every day. He said probably the most fun he has had in the job was visiting Tokyo when Beshear flew overseas to try to encourage Japanese companies to locate in Kentucky. “I loved getting over there and seeing the culture,” he said. “It was my first overseas trip like that, so it was all new to me, and I enjoyed seeing a different culture. One of the things I teach at the academy is defensive tactics, and I got my black belt under Vick Milner here in Murray. It’s a Japanese-style karate, so tying into that connection was pretty neat, actually getting to go see Japan and where it comes from.”
Whenever the governor appears anywhere in the state to make an announcement, an entourage of men in suits is never far behind. For Murray resident Mike Ray, being one of those men traveling around the state and globe with the governor has turned out to be a dream job. Ray has been a member of Gov. Steve Beshear’s executive security team — commonly referred to as the governor’s detail — for close to three years now. Most of Ray’s professional life was spent as a state trooper at Kentucky State Police’s Post 2 outside Madisonville, where he worked for 13 years. After that, he went to teach at the state police academy in Frankfort and lived with his family in Lawrenceburg for about five years while holding that job. After that, KSP asked him if he wanted to join the governor’s detail and he accepted the position. Since Beshear is from Dawson Springs, he and Ray have Western Kentucky roots in common, which gives them a lot to talk about. While Beshear is a University of Kentucky alumnus, Ray says he is constantly touting Murray State University to him, in particular keeping him updated on the basketball team. Although Beshear has not yet been able to schedule seeing a game in Murray, Ray was with him last year when he watched MSU play Marquette University in the NCAA Tournament at the

after 28 years and 7 governors
Japan Office Representative Completes Work In State After 28 years on the job as Kentucky’s economic development representative in Japan, Jiro Hashimoto is retiring from his vital role as Kentucky’s only economic development representative in Japan. The Tokyo native is leaving at the end of June, having worked with the administrations of seven Kentucky governors. During his tenure, more than 150 Japanese companies have located in Kentucky, which today employ more than 38,000 Kentuckians. “Jiro Hashimoto has been a tireless advocate for all Kentuckians, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for
his decades of service to the commonwealth,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “His efforts have been crucial in securing thousands of jobs for Kentuckians and billions of dollars in investment from Japanese companies. His representation helped build the tremendous relationship that exists between Japan and Kentucky, and for that, we will always be grateful.” In 1983, Hashimoto left a 19-year career with a large Japanese trading company to begin recruiting businesses to Kentucky. Gov. John Y. Brown Jr. first established an economic development office in Japan, with Hashimoto as the first employee.
Kentucky maintains two international economic development offices — one in Tokyo and the other in Hamburg, Germany. There are 155 Japanese-owned facilities in Kentucky, making Japan a clear frontrunner in boosting Kentucky’s foreign direct investment success. Germany ranks second with approximately 60 Germanowned facilities across the state. “Kentucky has a lot going for it, with our strategic location, low cost of business and tremendous workforce. But for Japan, a country that puts such a high value on relationships, it’s imperative to have a personal connec-
tion. Jiro has provided that critical relationship in an exemplary way throughout his career, spanning three decades,” said Cabinet for Economic Development Secretary Larry Hayes. “We will miss him greatly and are thankful he will be involved in the transition.” The Cabinet for Economic Development will begin the process of selecting a new office representative to oversee Kentucky’s ongoing economic development efforts in Asia. “We have accomplished a great deal over these many years, and I am proud of the benefits that this partnership has brought to Kentucky and
to Japan,” said Jiro Hashimoto. Some of the highlights in Kentucky’s relationship with Japan include: —1974: Mazak starts its U.S. machine tool operation in Florence. —1983 (April 19): Kentucky’s economic office in Japan opens. —1984 (December): Topy Industries announces the establishment of its wheel plant in Frankfort. —1985 (January): Hitachi announces the establishment of Hitachi Automotive Products in Harrodsburg. —1985 (December): Toyota Motor announces the establishment of its first in-
dependent U.S. manufacturing plant in Georgetown. —1987: Japan America Society of Kentucky formed. —1996: Sumikin Bussan/Kentucky Steel Center in Berea becomes the 100th Japanese-owned company to locate in Kentucky. —2005: Kentucky participates in the World Expo in Aichi, Japan and hosts “Kentucky Week” in May at the U.S. Pavilion. —2010 (November): Jiro Hashimoto inducted into Kentucky Association for Economic Development (KAED) Hall of Fame. —2013 (April 19): Kentucky’s Japan office marks its 30th anniversary.

Now A Reason For Allergy Season A few thoughts from here and there… —Many people have thought allergies are worse than they have ever been. Now science says it is a proven fact, and it’s all because of global warming. Actually it’s not caused by global warming, but the same thing which most scientists say causes global warming is also causing many of us to suffer more and longer with seasonal allergies. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmostphere appears to be the cultprit. Plants love carbon dioxide and it makes them grow larger and produce more pollen. Many people may not agree that global warming is caused by increased carbon dioxide but it is a fact there is more carbon dioxide particulates in our air than at any time since it has been monitored. One scientist has tracked it over 24 years and has seen increased levels each year. Another fact which can’t be disputed is many of us are suffereing more with seasonal allergies. —Never have so many readers made comments to me about anything in The Progress as about the story about Goldie and the storm drain. Almost everyone finished their comment by saying they were glad Goldie was fine. Thanks. —The Progress has a new employee for the summer. Jacob Parker is working as a summer intern. He started officially Friday, but did take a couple of pictures for last week’s paper before his official start date. —Almost weekly someone will say to me something about thinking I had retired. First, it seems it would be pretty good to retire, but second, and most important, it’s not affordable.

I have been faithful ever since, but I should have told you that long before now.” The wife nodded her head and said, “I, too, have held something back. Many years ago, long before we met, I was a man. I had an operation, changed my gender and have lived as a woman these past 20 years.” The husband flew into a rage. “You little cheat,” he said. “You’ve kept that from me all these years? You lived as my wife, we play golf together every free afternoon we have, and you…you still have the audacity to play off the women’s tee?” —When my doctor asked me about what I did yesterday, I told him about my day: “Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded across the edge of a lake, escaped from a mountain lion in the heavy brush, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand and jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake.” Inspired by the story, the doctor said, “You must be an awesome outdoorsmen!” “No,” I replied, “I’m just a lousy golfer.”
Commentary Immigration Reform Needed By H.H. Barlow
According to the Kentucky Dairy Development Council, Kentucky has 792 permitted dairy farms managing approximately 73,000 head of dairy cows, and the average dairy cow generate over $13,700 in economic ripple effect each year. That is an impressive economic engine for our state, and a profession in which I’m proud to be a part. We should be creating public policy that helps support and grow this important part of our economy in Kentucky. That’s why I support the passage of meaningful immigration reform through Congress.

ians often don’t want these jobs, but immigrants do. Unfortunately, we simply do not have enough of these hard working immigrants consistently available to work. This labor shortage affects dairy farms, as well as beef, horse, chicken, and tobacco farms. The negative impacts of a broken immigration system not only affect my business personally but our state and ultimately national economy. If we are not able to pass meaningful immigration reform this year, food production across the U.S. will be harmed. It’s time to overhaul our outdated system and bring it into the 21st century to alleviate the pressure on our farms and remain economically competitive with the rest of the world. A recent study in another agriculture-heavy state, North Carolina, showed just how important immigrant labor can be to the overall economy. The study—done by the Center for Agriculture Development and the Part—Continued on page A7

Foster Care Is Needed Dear Editor, I have from time to time disagreed with the editor on various things he has written or placed in The Dawson Springs Progress. I hope I have always kept it civil as I do consider the editor a friend and believe in his honesty. However, fair is fair, and I believe since it is a good thing to disagree with him from time to time, it is also a good thing to give him kudos. The About Town from May 22 about Lt. Todd Weaver and the story of your connection to him and his family was spot on. I have never worn a uniform either, but my father saw extensive action in World War II as an infantryman in Europe. I
lost two uncles in that war that I never knew. One of my mom’s brothers was killed in the Ardennes around Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, and one of my dad’s brothers died in the air over some forgotten speck of dirt in the Pacific. It was his first mission after spending six months recuperating from wounds he received on another mission. Your story of Lt. Weaver and the ultimate sacrifice he made was touching and should remind us of those who gave so much, sometimes all. Sadly, there are too many of those stories. My hat goes off to you for this reminder and to all of those who have expressed in their lives a selfless love of their country and those that continue to do so. Michael Marsili Dawson Springs
As Kentucky’s public universities prepare to yet again raise tuition, we continue to be amazed that Kentucky’s legislators believe that 18-year-old students can better afford increase after increase than can Kentucky’s taxpayers, many of whom benefited from a greater state investment in higher education when they were in college. But as has been the case throughout the last 15 years as the legislature has refused to do anything that would substantially increase revenues — through expanded gambling, tax reform, tax increases or other methods — the burden of higher education continues to fall more and more on the students. The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education has limited increases at the state universities this year to 3 percent. While that’s just half of what many of the schools have increased tuition in recent years, it’s difficult to justify in a difficult economy. To make the numbers work, the University of Louisville offered buyout packages to its longest-serving employees. Other employees at U of L will receive 4 percent pay raises, which on the surface seems like an extravagance considering that employees there are generally paid well. (More than 200 of them earn at least $200,000 per year.) But raises have been rare there in recent years and you must pay professors well or risk losing the best ones to other colleges around the country in states that value college educations more than Kentucky. As a Courier-Journal story reported on Friday, U of L is seeking the maximum increase.
In-state students would pay $4,875 per semester while out-of-state students would pay $11,819 per semester. It would be the second smallest tuition increase at U of L since 1990. Despite that, if the tuition increase is approved as expected, U of L students will have seen their tuition increase an astonishing 73 percent in the past decade. While the students’ share has increased swiftly, the opposite is true of the state’s investment. During the 1998-99 school year, the state contributed 71 percent of U of L’s budget but next year, that percentage will fall to 38 percent. Meanwhile, students are being forced to more and more go into heavy debt to pay for college. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported in March that Americans owe more in student loan debt than they do in credit card debt and car loan debt. According to Fed economists, Americans owe $870 billion in student loan debt while they owe just $730 billion for auto loans and $693 billion for credit cards. The report found that while other debt is flat or declining, student loan debt is rising. Furthermore, 15 percent of Americans who have credit reports owe on their student loans and 40 percent of people under age 30 have student loan debt. And when they must file bankruptcy because the economy isn’t producing enough jobs with high enough pay for their loans, the former students still can’t —Continued on page A7

Henderson Drops From Top 10 Largest City List By Chuck Stinnett The Gleaner Kentucky transportation officials are expressing disappointment with the $22 million repainting of the U.S. 41-North Twin Bridges, which, after just five to six years, are already rusting in multiple places. The bridges connect Henderson with Evansville, Ind. That paint job, once expected to last 15 or more years, will need to be redone “much sooner,” a state transportation spokesman acknowledged to The Gleaner — which would mean the repeat of traffic disruptions still fresh in many minds. “I would say in the next five to 10 years they will need to be repainted — at the very least, the northbound bridge,” spokesman Keith Todd said. “In the strongest terms possible, I’m pretty darn
unhappy,” he said. “With all the grief we went through (to get them repainted), that our traffic people went through and that commuters went through, to have something not last 15 to 20 years” is disappointing. The project to repaint the bridges in 2007 and 2008 put considerable strain on motorists, area businesses, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and state officials. The original plan was to close one bridge at a time and force the 37,000 or so vehicles that cross the river each day to squeeze into one lane in each direction on the other bridge. But that brought objections from the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Henderson Project, Ellis Park, state Sen. Dorsey Ridley, car dealers and others — so much so that then-governor Ernie Fletcher ordered state highway engineers to devise a new plan.
The revised plan was to reduce the bridge being painted to one lane of traffic during daytime hours while running three narrow lanes of traffic on the other bridge with a speed limit of 35 mph. While motorists were skeptical, the scheme worked, although it wasn’t an experience anyone was eager to repeat anytime soon. Best of all, state highway officials said, the bridges wouldn’t need to be repainted for a long time. The gray paint that was applied was described at the time as a polymer material that was “almost a plastic” or “paraffin-type material.” It was expected to last 15 to 20 years, even though the project involved applying just a single coat of paint. But rust spots started showing up after just a year or two — and now, more generalized rust is apparent, sometimes in places visible
to motorists, sometimes atop steel trusses that only climbing bridge inspectors see. Now, the Transportation Cabinet is acknowledging the rusting — and the fact that the bridges will need to be repainted considerably sooner than originally planned, bringing renewed traffic headaches. “I thought I would never have to go through that again before I retire in 10 or 12 years,” cabinet spokesman Todd said. “It was not a fun project,” he said. The Twin Bridges were painted with calcium sulfonate paint, according to Todd. The state had used calcium sulfonate paint “with good success on other bridges, but this latest application has failed — not only on the Twin Bridges but also on two other bridges,” both on Interstate 64, he said.
“Over the last year, as the appearance of the paint has deteriorated (on the Twin Bridges), we have taken samples of the paint and run a number of lab tests,” according to Todd. “We have since learned that the manufacturer — for whatever reason — altered the paint recipe. We cannot speak to the specific chemistry, but the effect of the change is that this latest application did not bond as well,” he said. “Meanwhile, the Twin Bridges will have to be painted again at some point in the future, much sooner than we would have liked,” Todd said. “The Twins will be compared with the rest of our steel bridges to determine their priority on the statewide list as we move forward. “At this point, the paint on the northbound bridge appears to be deteriorating more than paint on the southbound
bridge. We think that may have something to do with the differing types of steel for the differing periods when they were constructed.” Meanwhile, Todd said, “We are using a completely different paint system for the painting of the Blue Bridge in Owensboro. We are using a three-coat process: two coats of primer followed by a coat of paint to assure full coverage and a coating that will last.” The U.S. 41 Twin Bridges, also known as the BiState Vietnam Gold Star Memorial Bridges, carry approximately 37,000 vehicles per day across the Ohio River between Henderson and Evansville. The northbound bridge, originally called the Audubon Memorial bridge, was opened to traffic as a toll bridge on July 4, 1932. The southbound bridge opened to traffic on Dec. 16, 1965.

projects, which began to materialize in the previous year. Kentucky’s top 10 projects resulted in more than 4,000 jobs and nearly $1.3 billion in investments. GE Appliances in Louisville was named as one of six national Gold Shovel Projects of the Year. The winners were selected based on the fact that they created a large number of high value-added
manufacturing jobs in new or expanded facilities. “The states receiving 2013 Shovel Awards deserve special recognition for their efforts to attract new businesses and to help their existing corporate citizens to expand their businesses,” said Geraldine Gambale, editor of Area Development. “They have managed to thrive and emerge from the recession as eco-
Immigration Reform —Continued from page A6 nership for a New American Economy—found that every 3-5 foreign farm workers the U.S. allows in creates one additional American job. Fixing our immigration system enhances our economy and breeds more opportunity for American workers. Fortunately, many of our elected leaders in Washington are beginning to get the message. Getting Republicans and Democrats to work together often seems impossible, but we are seeing some bipartisan cooperation on this issue. Four Republicans and four Democrats (the “Gang of 8”) are working to reform our broken immigration system and have a bill headed to the floor of the U.S. Senate very soon. This is an encouraging development to those of us in agriculture and provides a real opportunity for problem solving. There is much to like in the bill that is headed to the floor. Of critical importance to the agricultural industry is the allocation of visas based on the needs of our economy. I talk with other farmers every day, and the difficulties of the guest worker system is a serious concern. I’m particularly interested in the proposal to establish an agricultural worker card program. This will improve the current burdensome system
by making more immigrant workers available in a more efficient system. For those who are worried about border security, I am confident that we can achieve the goals of reforming our broken system and securing our nation’s borders, and I have great confidence in Kentucky Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul to stay on top of that important issue. Sen. Paul in particular has already been an opinion leader on the need to reform our immigration system and appears to me to be a leading, constructive voice in this national debate. For farmers like me, this bill is critical. For a state like Kentucky, with an economy based heavily on agriculture, this bill is critical. My sincerest hope is that we achieve reform soon. Every day that passes under the current broken system is another day of lost opportunity for America’s farmers. As rural people know, there’s no time like the present to solve a problem. I hope Congress follows that time tested advice. H.H. Barlow is from Cave City, Kentucky, in Barren County and is an active dairy farmer. He was appointed by President George W. Bush as a member of the U.S. Board for International Food and Agriculture Development

Students Must Pay —Continued from page A6 get out from under their student debts in most cases because federal law says that debt can’t be discharged. All of this makes it much more difficult for Kentucky’s young people to get much needed college degrees that will bring much needed, higher-paying jobs to the state. With just 30.5 percent of the people age 25 to 64 holding a bachelor’s degree or advanced degree, Kentucky ranks behind 44 other states. Until that changes, the state will draw its disproportionate share of low-skilled, low-wage jobs rather than
the type needed to lift Kentucky out of poverty. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Kentucky’s median household income was $41,141 in 2011. Only Arkansas, West Virginia and Mississippi ranked behind us. There is a connection. Kentucky needs to do more to make college education available and affordable to its young people before we see another generation of Kentuckians trying to make a living slaughtering chickens or living month-tomonth on their government checks. —The Courier-Journal

Pouring up anywhere between 600 to 800 halfpints, and 400 pints, Bruce said they usually sell over a thousand containers. “I’ve never had any left,” she said. “There’ll always be somebody that comes in that night, when all the jars are gone, wondering if they could have a cup of it.”
Right now, the sauce is being stored in the Food Giant cooler in five-gallon buckets and gallon jugs. Bruce said that a lot goes on behind the scenes that people don’t realize. “I think people just show up Friday night and think this all just happened,” she joked. Instead, the sauce is prepared a couple of months in advance. “We make it ahead of time for the simple reason
that none of us get to eat any if we make it the weekend of,” Bruce said. While being unable to share the recipe for the famous sauce, Bruce did share her excitement for this year’s Barbecue. “This was probably the best year we’ve had,” she said.

Kickoff Set For UK-WKU Bobby Petrino and Mark Stoops now know what time their coaching chapters will begin at Western Kentucky and Kentucky, respectively. Kickoff for the Aug. 31 season opener for both schools is 6 p.m. at Nashville’s LP Field. Petrino, who previously coached Louisville, Arkansas and the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons, starts anew with a Hilltoppers team coming off an appearance in the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl, its first as a FBS school. Stoops will begin his head coaching career trying to lift the Wildcats from a 2-10 finish in 2012. The game marks the second Nashville meeting between the Hilltoppers and Wildcats in three seasons. Kentucky won 14-3 at LP Field in 2011 and looks to avenge last year’s 32-31 overtime home loss to WKU at Commonwealth Stadium.

From Calumet To Football; News Flows In June Sports In Kentucky News and Views. Sports news, after the Kentucky Derby, becomes a crawl line at bottom of your TV screen, right? Wrong! NEWS. Calumet Farm, the most visible and glorious red and white symbol of horse racing on the planet, valued at more than $40 million, is now under lease to native Kentuckian Brad Bob Watkins Kelley. VIEW. How perfect. Calumet in hands of a conservationist who grew up near Franklin, owns two horse farms in central Kentucky and thousands of acres in states across America kept safe from developers. That Kelley has no appetite for glad-hand celebrity, shuns crowds and publicity, make him an icon to me, the anti-thesis of, say fellow Fayette resident John Calipari. Another thing: Kelley’s racing colors, black and gold. Perfect. NEWS. Southeastern Conference directors of athletics met in Destin, Fla., last week and voted unanimously to “authorize the conference to explore a primary site for the men’s basketball tournament.” Favorite: Nashville. VIEW. Hardly the heart of the SEC, Nashville has two large pluses. 1. Bridgestone Arena seats 19,395 for basketball. 2. It’s close enough to keep Big Blue Nation coming to spend money and far enough from Lexington to keep pundits from dubbing it the UKIT. The SEC Tournament is already set for Nashville in 2015, 2016 and 2019. Sites for 2017 and 2018 remain open. NEWS. Eddie Sutton, the ex-Kentucky coach (198589) whose photo was left out of coaches section in UK’s basketball media guide for several years, has been invited to
visit Lexington, attend UK practices by John Calipari. VIEW. Yes. An invitation overdue. Sutton’s teams contributed 88 wins to the nation’s winning program. He is 77, has wrestled with personal demons, and lost his wife last year. And, Eddie Sutton is hardly the only UK coach on whose watch NCAA probation came. He simply didn’t have the same layer of teflon as others. NEWS. The NBA fined Roy Hibbert $75,000 last week for a gay slur.

Canaan and Siva. • Canaan can shoot, but more, he knows how to score. Unselfish, a leader and clever defender. • Siva is more than a penetrator and deft passer. He will contribute to locker room harmony and be a fan favorite. The NBA Draft begins Thursday, June. 27. NEWS. Best basketball towns in America? Internet site Bleacher Report says Durham, N.C., Lawrence, Kansas and Chapel Hill, N.C. are 1-2-3. Here in the Hoops Triangle, Lexington and Bloomington are 4-5, Louisville ranks eighth.

But the sun is going to shine brright on the bluegrass according to writer Paul Myersberg. “Mark Stoops has the whole state abuzz due to February’s rock-solid recruiting class, that has carried over into a torrid start in the class of 2014. His conclusion: Reinforcements are coming. Batten down the hatches. Could Stoops and UK actually, win big?” VIEW. Stoops landed his tenth commit last Sunday and there is sunny optimism. But there is also that nation’s toughest, 2013 schedule coming up.
Worth Repeating Department
A few weeks ago on the way to a game, members of Union County High’s girls softball team were injured in a bus crash. Kevin Patton writes about people in sports for The Gleaner in Henderson. While recent news had not been good for the softball team, Patton wrote, “reaction to it was. Livingston Central’s softball team, which was the scheduled opponent the afternoon Union County’s bus ran off the road and turned over on its side, went to Paducah hospitals to show their support for the injured Union County players. “As a way of saying thank you, Union County’s team traveled to Trigg County to support Livingston Central in the first round of the Fifth District Tournament. “The outpouring of support for the Union County team reminds us of what is right about high school sports. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s about competition and the relationships developed from that competition.” Comment: Good to have someone to recognize and chronicle these things also. And so it goes. You can reach Bob Watkins at s prtsinky@aol.com.
Hit Small Waters Now That Summer Is Here Kentucky Afield By Lee McClellan
It is hard to believe you needed a jacket for an evening outdoor barbeque on the weekend after the Preakness Stakes, but you did this year. This past spring was one of the coolest in memory. Now that June is around the corner with temperatures finally striking the upper 80s, it is time to hit some overlooked small lakes to catch nice bluegill, redear sunfish, also called shellcrackers, largemouth bass and sunfish. Smaller lakes grant excellent fishing opportunities to bank-bound anglers. With Free Fishing Days coming this Saturday and Sunday, try some of these lakes with a family member, especially one who doesn’t fish or has fallen out of the habit. On Free Fishing Days, anglers may fish Kentucky waters without a fishing license and keep fish if they abide by the proper minimum size and daily creel limits. The fisheries division last week stocked several Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) lakes with 4- to 7-inch hybrid sunfish. Whitehall Park Lake in Madison County received 1,800 hybrid sunfish and Millennium Park Lake in Boyle County got 1,000 hybrid sunfish. Lake Mingo in Jessamine County received 750 fish while Waymond Morris Park Lake and Yellow Creek Park Lake in Daviess County each received 1,500 hybrid sunfish. They
stocked 660 of these fish in Lusby Lake in Scott County and 625 in Scott County Park Lake. “These hybrid sunfish are chunky and they grow fast,” said Gerry Buynak, assistant director of fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. The 46,429-acre Peabody Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Muhlenberg, Ohio and Hopkins counties holds dozens of small lakes and strip pits that have 77 boat ramps and 121 miles of gravel roads to access them. You’ll need a $15 user permit, available wherever fishing licenses are sold, to access Peabody WMA. “A couple of those really clear pits have nice 11- to 12-inch redear sunfish in them,” said Rob Rold, northeastern fisheries district biologist for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “Most of the clear Peabody pits are really good for redear and bluegill. There are lots of snails for them to eat and quality vegetation. Goose Lake, Musky Lake and Bottom Lake all offer quality fishing.” The Ken and Sinclair Units of Peabody WMA both have large concentrations of lakes and pits. The Homestead Unit
Fish & Wildlife Completes Trout Stocking The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service-Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery and Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Resource personnel stocked 44,825 rainbow and brown trout into 41 public fishing waters across the state May 7-23. All of these waters are open to public fishing and provide great opportunities for thousands of Kentuckians. The stocking of trout reared at the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery provides $50M a year in economic impact. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 95-million-acre National Wildlife Refuge
System, which encompasses 556 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management areas. It also operates 69 national fish hatcheries, 63 Fish and Wildlife Management offices and 81 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance program, which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agencies.
northeast of the Cool Springs community also holds many of these waters. Consult a printable map ob Peabody WMA at the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife webpage at fw.ky.gov. Rold also said 81-acre Mauzy Lake in Union County inside Higginson-Henry WMA is an up-and-coming producer of redear sunfish with strong numbers of fish around 10 inches long. Rold said the redear sunfish are holding in 4- to 5-feet of water and just about on their spawning beds. The lake also has an excellent population of 15- to 20-inch largemouth bass. Overlooked 38-acre Stanford City Reservoir in Lincoln County rivals its close neighbor, Cedar Creek Lake, in the size of the largemouth bass swimming in its waters. “Our recent population sampling revealed a ton of largemouth bass in Stanford Reservoir with several larger bass over 22 inches,” said Marcy Anderson, assistant southeastern fisheries biologist for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “We also saw some nice 7- to 8-inch redear sunfish in there as well.” Anderson also recommends 361-acre Lake Linville near Mt. Vernon in Rockcastle County for families. “There are a lot of bluegill in Lake Linville,” she said. “Linville has excellent bank access, great for family fishing.” Cedar Creek Lake, 787 acres of water in Lincoln County, is an emerging producer of fat redear sunfish. “We saw many in the 7-to 9-inch class near the KY 1770 bridge that were chunky and large,” she said. “They are about to spawn.” Get out with your family during the wonderful early summer weather and fish these overlooked waters. The entire Spring Fishing Frenzy series will be posted at the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife website at fw.ky.gov for future access to these articles.

Public Urged To Leave Young Wildlife Alone They are born in woods and brushy fields. From birth, they learn how to survive in a world where the daily challenge is to find enough to eat and try not to be eaten by other wild creatures. For eons, wildlife have been born and raised without human surrogate parents. So the message is clear: leave wildlife babies alone. Well-intentioned concern often does more harm than good. Get too close to a bird’s nest and the young may leave the nest prematurely and not survive. Bring home a deer fawn and you’re taking it away from its mother. Feed a bear cub and the cub will become conditioned to humans and human food. All these scenarios are likely to compromise the animal’s survival chances. Only licensed wildlife rehabilitators may possess injured or orphaned wildlife. Only persons with a captive cervid permit may keep deer in captivity. To locate a licensed rehabilitator, go to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s website at fw.ky.gov and click on the “Hunting, Trapping & Wildlife” tab, then on “Injured and Orphaned Wildlife.” When someone finds a deer fawn it’s often assumed that the fawn is abandoned. But David Yancy, a deer biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, explained that mother deer rarely abandon their newborns. “The mother leaves the fawn often for hours at a time, between morning and evening nursing,” said Yancy. “The doe stays away from the fawn because she doesn’t want to attract attention to it. While she’s away from her fawn she feeds and rests.” Fawns are scentless at birth. They hide in grass and weeds, their spots helping to camouflage them. If the mother deer feels threatened by the approach of a human or a predator, she moves off, so the threatening presence will follow her and not endanger the fawn. Newborn deer remain bedded for the first few weeks of life until they are strong enough to run at their mother’s side to escape predators. The doe is never far from her fawn. “The mother is likely in some nearby woods. She’s definitely within earshot and will usually come running if the fawn bleats,” said Yancy. Landowners are asked to leave a deer fawn alone if
they encounter one. “If you find one while mowing your hay field, pick it up and put it somewhere nearby where you won’t be mowing. The mother will return and find it in the evening,” said Yancy. The parents of songbirds are also attentive to the needs of their young. “If you see a baby bird or a fledgling, you should leave it alone. Most likely the parents are nearby,” said Shawchyi Vorisek, an avian biologist with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “The parents stay with their young at least until they can find food on their own.” Most songbird species are protected by federal law. Nests with eggs or young should be left alone. “Observe nests from afar,” added Vorisek. “Don’t go up to a nest or touch it, as that can leave a trail for predators to follow or cause the parents to abandon the nest.”

Teams are normally on one extreme or the other. You don’t find teams that are in the middle of the road on Pocono. It’s like a small road course with left-hand turns. You compromise, but you still have to be good in all three corners. If you give up one corner you better be exceptional in the other two. I like it because after the repave, it’s a very smooth track, and everybody likes smooth tracks just because it makes it easier to work on the cars.

By Paul G. Donohue, M.D.
Pleural Effusion Is Fluid Around Lungs DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had a little trouble breathing, so I saw my doctor, who ordered a chest X-ray. It showed fluid on the right lung. The doctor said he would have to do more tests to find out why the fluid appeared. Could you guess for me what those tests might be? What brought this on? -- R.H.
ANSWER: A double-ply covering, called the pleura, encases each lung. A small space between the two leaves of pleura allows the lung to inflate and deflate effortlessly. The fluid you have is in the pleural space. The condition is a pleural effusion. The fluid is not actually in lung tissue. Infections, illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, heart failure, blood clots in the lungs, liver cirrhosis and chest trauma are some of the causes of pleural effusions. Cancer is another cause. Shortness of breath, chest discomfort and cough are some of the things that a pleural effusion engenders. Some people with an effusion have no symptoms at all. The fluid is discovered when a person has a chest X-ray, as was the case with you. The doctor is most prob-

ably planning to obtain a specimen of the fluid from the pleura. It’s not a difficult procedure. Analysis of the fluid provides information that determines what caused it. That information also allows the doctor to determine a treatment plan and provide you with a prognosis of what to expect. I’d like to speculate further for you, but I can’t. I need more information too. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I was given Avodart to treat an enlarged prostate gland. During the six months of taking it, I went from a fully functioning man with a strong libido to 99 percent impotence and no interest in physical intimacy. My physician does not seem to care. What kind of treatment should I seek? -H.L
ANSWER: Avodart (dutasteride) is a medicine that can shrink an enlarged prostate gland. Achieving that allows free passage of urine. Impotence and decreased desire for sex are its side effects for a small number of users. Other drugs, without these side effects, exist. Furthermore, a number of office procedures can open the drainage canal of the bladder. You return home after the procedure. You should see a urologist immediately. Prostate enlargement
and prostate cancer are discussed in the booklet on those topics. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1001W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 328536475.

DONOHUE: Two weeks ago, I contracted a cold. It’s gone, except for a troublesome cough, which is worse at night. I read in an issue of AARP Bulletin that a spoonful of honey at bedtime often gives better results than cough medicines. I tried it. The results were nothing less than miraculous. What do you say about this remedy? -- F.B.
ANSWER: I say stick with it. Honey has been used for many years to suppress coughing. It’s even given to babies older than one year. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Farm Bureau Offers Free Workshops For Teachers Although the school year has come to a close, the hard work that teachers put into classroom preparation and improving their instructional techniques continues on through the summer. To aid those efforts, Kentucky Farm Bureau invites educators from across the state to attend one of its four free professional development workshops held in June. The day-long workshops are designed to address Kentucky’s core educational competencies while showcasing a variety of state and national agricultural curricula. Workshops will also emphasize the value of incorporating gardening into all areas of curriculum through easy-to-replicate interdisciplinary lessons. These thematic lessons and materials incorporate mathematics, social studies, English and science through real-life application in indoor and outdoor training sessions. Chartered tours of local agricultural operations will further highlight the practical environmental and agricultural information so that it can easily be translated into a classroom setting. “The primary objective of these professional development opportunities is to better enable educators to incorporate agricultural concepts in the classroom,” said Scott Christmas, KFB’s director of
Women and Agricultural Education. “This thematic style of education can increase children’s interest in learning and enables them to retain subject matter more readily.” In addition to the training and resources made available through these workshops, the 400-450 teachers anticipated to attend may earn six hours of professional development hours. Effective Instructional Leadership Act credits will be given to principals, guidance counselors and other instructional leaders who participate. A workshop will be held June 17 at Lake Barkley Resort Lodge near Cadiz. Other locations and dates are Barren River Lake Resort Lodge, June 18; Spindletop Hall in Lexington, June 19; and Sawyer Hayes Community Center in Louisville, June 20. The workshop registration fee has been waived for all Kentucky educators, compliments of Kentucky Farm Bureau, but registration is required for attendance. Teachers can register online at kyfb.com/teacher prior to the June 7 deadline. Workshop agendas and additional details about conference speakers and activities are available at kyfb. com. Further questions regarding these educational opportunities can be directed to Christmas at 502-4955000, ext. 7221.
Princeton Animal Shelter Offering Free Adoption In an effort to find shelter animals new homes, New Beginnings Animal Shelter in Princeton is kicking off the month of June with Free Adoption Days.

All adopters will still be responsible for spaying or neutering an intact animal within 45 days of adoption. In conjunction with the Free Adoption Days, an adoption fair will be held Saturday at Tractor Supply in Princeton. For the remainder of June through July 6, New Beginnings will offer half price adoption fees for all active duty and retired military.
