County used by escaping slaves
Old jail getting new life: pizzeria BRANDENBURG — After more than three decades of nonuse and several different owners, the old Meade County jail in downtown Brandenburg will be given new life as a pizzeria this spring. The jail, built in 1907, has not been used since it was damaged by a tornado April 3, 1974, that also took the lives of more than 30 Meade County residents. Developer Ronnie Ables bought the jail at an auction three years ago for $55,000 and is investing an additional $100,000 in the pizzeria, to be called Jailhouse Pizza, while keeping as much of the old jail intact as possible. Ables said he bought the jail to create a new business in the county while also preserving an important part of Meade County’s history. “I like historical stuff and I didn’t want the jail to be torn down,” he said. “As long as I own it, the jail will stay intact.” Ables said he intends to preserve as much of the interior as possible, and the cells will be used as seating. He intends to decorate the interior with Meade County memorabilia, such as historical photos. He hopes the themed-restaurant will attract crowds from Louisville and Elizabethtown while also reviving downtown Brandenburg. Chamber of Commerce Director Russ Powell said the eatery’s theme fits nicely with Meade County’s tourism motto. “From a tourism perspective, our motto is, ‘Find history and more in Meade County,’” said Powell, who is also the tourism director. “Meade County has an interesting history, and keeping the jail building is a good way of making use of a structure that has been around for a long time. And putting an eating place along the riverbank makes Riverfront Park much more attractive, not just for Meade County, but all the thousands who visit here each year.” Ronnie Joyner, a Brandenburg City Council member and former mayor, said downtown never recovered after the tornado. “It used to be a flourishing little town down there,” he said. “I think one of the reasons it was flourishing so well before the tornado is that is where the courthouse was. But right before the tornado is when they built the by-pass and when they moved the courthouse, people didn’t have much reason to go down there and started building on the by-pass.”
BRAC will transform the role of Fort Knox from a training center, and in the process place up to 6,000 new soldiers and family members in surrounding counties. Many are expected to settle in Hardin County, but Meade County also will likely see a drastic increase in population over the next year, military officials said. Russ Powell, director of the Meade County Chamber of Commerce, took Tennant on a tour of various housing areas and parks, and a tour of Stuart Pepper Middle School. Powell said he felt the tour went well. “I wanted to give (Tennant) a guided tour of Meade County and show off some of the amenities and residential opportunities we offer,” he said. “I also wanted to show why the Meade County School System is one of the top in the state.”
BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Meade a stop on the Underground Railroad BY CHARLES L. WESTMORELAND NEWS@THENEWSSTANDARD.COM

What is now a waterfront park in downtown Brandenburg was once an escape route for fugitive slaves more than 150 years ago. Prior to the end of the Civil War, Meade County was part of an Underground Railroad system that lent a glimpse of hope to slaves seeking freedom. In the mid-1800s, a quarter of Meade County’s population was black, the vast majority of which were slaves, said Marshall Myers, a Meade County native. “Kentucky had more slave owners than any state but Virginia or Georgia, but the slave owners didn’t own as many slaves as other states,” said Myers, an English professor at Eastern Kentucky University. Myers said there were two locations in Brandenburg that were part of an underground railroad — a barn on Mulberry Street and another barn where the Brandenburg post office is today. He said although the majority of Meade County was pro-slavery, it did have a large number of anti-slavery sympathizers because of its close proximity to Indiana, which was a free state. “Kentucky was a very conflicted state,” Myers said. “Brother against brother was the instance here regarding views on slavery.” Myers also said there were two points in Meade County used as crossings into Corydon, Ind., where slaves could often find assistance in their travels to far northern states and Canada. The first crossing point was in Paradise Bottom in lower Meade County, opposite Indian Creek in southern Harrison County, Ind., and the other in downtown Brandenburg along the riverfront. “Slaves knew if they got across the river they were at least in territory where there was no slavery,” he said. “Those two places in Meade County were principally used by runaway slaves coming from the Deep South in Alabama PLEASE

No official flu in Meade County yet, but... BY CHARLES L. WESTMORELAND NEWS@THENEWSSTANDARD.COM No one in Meade County officially has had the flu this year, but the key word there is “officially.” Ashoka Indukari, an epidemiologist for Meade and surrounding counties, said there have not been any culture-confirmed cases so far, but basing flu cases on that information may not be accurate. “The flu is a little tricky, and not everyone who has the flu sees a doctor,” he said. Kris Paul, clinical director of
the Meade County Health Department, said flu shots are available for $10 by walk-in appointment, but Meade County does not have a free clinic available to residents who have caught the disease. Paul said there are a few things people can do when affected by the flu. “You want to drink a lot of fluids, some people might use vaporizers or humidifiers, and over-the-counter pain relievers can help,” she said. “The best prevention for the flu is to stay out of crowded places.” Meade County school atten-
dance dropped below the daily average this week, which is common this time of year, Superintendent Mitch Crump said. “Our attendance has been down, but this time of year there seems to be more flu,” he said. “Our attendance Monday and Tuesday was about 93 percent and usually we have about 95-percent attendance. Sometimes this time of year it is school to school. Sometimes the flu will affect a school but not the total district.” Crump said during his six years as superintendent he’s

seen attendance drop as low as 90 percent. Crump said the one thing parents can stress to their children to avoid getting the flu is to wash their hands often. “That’s the number one thing,” he said. “I think the reason it hasn’t affected the schools as much is the teachers in a lot of classrooms have antibacterial soap and stress washing hands to children.” The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) PLEASE

Whither the 109 Board? ithout so much as a word of discussion, magistrates last week ended the six-year experiment of letting an appointed board supervise county-run trash collection. Fiscal Court members took the final step in dissolving the 109 Board, which had run Meade County Solid Waste and Recycling since 2000. But what now? Solid Waste is still about $660,000 in debt, including a $250,000 loan from the county last November. Even under the best circumstances, Solid Waste only began paying for itself the last quarter of last year — ending the three months with an $8,000 surplus, or about $2,668 per month. While that’s a vast improvement over the $16,000 monthly loss the department lost in the previous year, according to its audit, it’s hardly enough to pay off the debts or buy and maintain badly needed hauling trucks. So magistrates have taken control of trash collection but E DITORIAL have yet to announce how they will run it profitably — or even I SSUE : The future of differently. In the short term, they may solid-waste collection in be better off leaving it alone. Meade County.

That would give mag- good trash-collection plan. istrates time to thoughtfully consider a long-term strategy for solid waste in Meade County. But the clock is ticking. In October, magistrates must have a new five-year solid-waste plan covering 2008-2012. Magistrates have some big questions they must answer — correctly — before Solid Waste can move forward: • Can the county economically collect its own trash and the bills for doing so? Most counties have decided they can’t, and Meade County hasn’t proven it can. • Can the county get a good deal on trash collection from one of the major haulers? Magistrates must decide whether multiple haulers or one hauler exclusively will be allowed to work in the county. • Can the Fiscal Court appoint a Solid Waste advisory board with expertise instead of political connections? Good management and good ideas, not good ol’ boys, are needed. • Is the county going to use money from its surplus to pay off Solid Waste’s debts or collect a surcharge on trash collection to pay it off? It’s taxpayers’ money already sitting in the county’s coffers, so adding a surcharge would be like double-dipping into county residents’ pockets. • How do you keep residents from not just dumping their trash into a sinkhole rather than hassle with trash collection? Mandatory collection means taking some people to court when they don’t pay, and that could be politically unpopular. Magistrates have many resources open to them, so they aren’t forced to reinvent the garbage-truck wheel here. They should use them to get this right. If magistrates can learn the lessons of the 109 Board, then perhaps the last six years will not be wasted after all.

L ETTERS Does the law really apply to everyone? To the editor, I would like to commend the Muldraugh Police Dept. for “cracking down on minors violating the city’s curfew law,” as was stated they were doing in the Jan. 12 issue of your paper. Muldraugh is making an effort to nip in the bud a problem that could only get worse. I thank them for their effort. Muldraugh City Councilman Ralph Lee said some minors would have to learn the hard way that laws are non-negotiable. Do the laws in Muldraugh apply to everyone equally? One city leader said, “We might have to explain to them (kids) and get it in their heads that the law is the law and everybody has to abide by them, even if they are a child.” That makes sense to me, but why is one group in Muldraugh having the law enforced against them but another group is violating a curfew ordinance and has been getting away with it for several years? Does the law apply equally to everyone in Muldraugh? Apparently it doesn’t. Adult businesses in Muldraugh have been violating their ordinance of operation for several years. The mayor knows about the violations

‘I believe’ you should read this Statistics say that two of every three working Meade Countians drive outside these borders to go to work. For those of you driving to Ford, UPS or anywhere else in Louisville, we likely cross paths. My daily hour-long commute brings me to Meade County, often before the sun comes up. A lot of AM radio stations — home to sports talk shows — don’t come in very well in the dark, so I listen to National Public Radio most of the time. NPR has been doing a series called “This I Believe” for some time, and it is where regular people record their thoughts on some aspect of life that is important to them. Most are very thoughtful and enjoyable, taking a point of view I wouldn’t have seen. They can be very thought-provoking. So, with apologies to NPR, here is what I believe: • I believe anyone who smokes with a child in the car — no matter how much the window is cracked — should be cited for endangering the welfare of a minor. • I believe that there are people who still wonder why we celebrate February as “Black History Month.” • I also believe that plenty of public schools teach classes in Western Civilizations, History of Europe and American History, and that most of them don’t fully tell the contributions
• I believe the Kentucky Press Association must be pretty desperate for board members, unless the new trend in sports journalism is to cover only boys’ sports — and do that with a high school student who works for the team. • I believe girls’ and Olympic sports deserve coverage, too, because it’s not only about how many people come to watch but about those who participate as well. • I believe Meade County has many bright, hard-working, creative people here, both natives and transplants • I believe those people need to get involved to help Meade move forward and compete in the global marketplace. • I believe reporters lose their objectivity when they participate in a public meeting. So does Mike Farrell, director of the Scripps-Howard First Amendment Center at UK, who called it an “egregious violation of journalism ethics” when I told him it happened in Meade County recently. • I believe the public feels reporters need to not only be impartial, but appear impartial as well. • I believe a newspaper is a public trust — the only business protected in the Constitution — not a profit center. • I believe some people are more worried about making money than doing what is right. • I believe that if you are reading this newspaper instead of the alternatives, you knew it when you saw it

and yet the law hasn’t been enforced against them. According to city ordinances, children 13 - 17 cannot be in public after 11 p.m. any day of the week. The curfew is 10 p.m. for children under 13. The ordinance says the adult businesses are supposed to be closed to the public between the hours of 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. Why is this law not being enforced? It should be. After all, the law is the law and everybody has to abide by the law, right? Sadly that isn’t the case in Muldraugh. Telling kids that the laws apply to everyone equally but allowing others to get away with not following the law sends the wrong message to kids (and everyone else for that matter). The Muldraugh City Council, Mayor Danny Tate and the Police Dept. should enforce the curfew law on the adult businesses. If they will not enforce the law equally, they should apologize to the kids for telling them their laws are non-negotiable. Randy Johnson Brandenburg Thank American farmers for low-cost food Did you know that the average American spends just under 10 percent of their disposable personal
income on food? Compare that to 14 percent for Japan, 20 percent for Israel, 26 percent for China, 38 percent for the Philippines and 55 percent for Indonesia. In just 36 days, the average household will have earned enough disposable income — meaning that portion available for spending or saving — to pay for their food supply for the entire year, according to the Kentucky Farm Bureau. In recognition of this, Kentucky Farm Bureau is celebrating Feb. 4-10, 2007, as Food Check-Out Week. “Not only is America’s food supply the world’s safest, but it’s also the most affordable,” said Marshall Coyle, Kentucky Farm Bureau president. “The safe, abundant and affordable domestic food supply produced by America’s farmers is responsible, at least in part, for our nation’s increasing standard of living. Compared to food, Americans work longer each year to pay for their housing, federal taxes and medical care.” According to the Tax Foundation, Americans must work 52 days each year to pay for health and medical care, 62 days to pay for housing/ household operation and 77 days to pay their federal taxes.

Looking ahead to Valentine’s Day BY JENNIFER BRIDGE CEA FOR FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES This year as you look forward to celebrating Valentine’s Day, let your creativity flow. Here are some ideas that may spark fresh thinking on ways to honor this important day of caring and love. Why not shy away from expensive gifts? The spirit of Valentine’s Day is often best expressed in heartfelt gestures of thoughtfulness and love — a romantic walk in the moonlight, a surprise phone call, a short note of appreciation, a homemade gift or card. Plan ahead. Set aside a few extra hours before Valentine’s Day to mail some cards or plan special activities for the week of Feb. 14. Be flexible. If it isn’t convenient to celebrate on Feb. 14, you can do so any number of days before or after. Why not call a young couple you
your immediate community. Or invite a small group of singles over for dinner and conversation. Start a new Valentine’s Day tradition. For example, donate time or money to a local soup kitchen or food pantry, or ask permission to visit folks at a nearby nursing home. Invite a friend to join you and pick up some little heart candies or small non-food gifts, maybe ones that you and your family have made together. Distribute your gifts with heartfelt smiles, warm handshakes, and a big hug when that seems appropriate. These are just a few suggestions to spark your own creativity. In addition to adding your own thoughts, why not brainstorm unique and enjoyable ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a loved one or a small group of friends? It could be fun and there is no telling what interesting possibilities you might dream up. The symbol of Valentine’s Day is the
know and offer to babysit so they can enjoy a romantic evening together? If you are fortunate enough to have parents who are still living, touch base with them and express your affection and appreciation. If you have physical or financial limitations, remember that a gift of loving thoughts, a prayer, or a brief “Happy Valentine’s Day” phone call can be a wonderful way to observe this special day. Try this: Spend a little time in a quiet place. Breathe easily and focus on the here and now. Become quiet enough that you can feel — and maybe even hear — your heart beating. Then ask yourself, “What in my heart of hearts would I love to do?” Take good notes. Remember those who are alone. Whatever their age, Valentine’s Day can be painful for those who have no one to celebrate with. Consider organizing a gathering for elderly singles in
heart — a reminder of the heart’s wisdom — and of the universal need to give and receive love. Toward the end of her long life, author Helen Nearing spoke of the overarching importance of love in our lives. Her words are a fitting tribute to the many and varied gestures of love through which we celebrate Valentine’s Day: “Love is the source, love is the goal, and love is the method of attainment. A network of love crisscrosses the globe. The delicate shining lines form a tenuous web from one end of the world to the other. There are so many threads of love in the world, so much love going on, for and from so many people. To partake of love and to give love is the greatest of life’s rewards.” Happy Valentine’s Day! Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.
N EWS B RIEFS Meade County Schools get snow day School was canceled yesterday and may be canceled again today if the county gets more snow. According to superintendent Mitch Crump, the school system averages between three and seven snow days per year and the cancellation process varies. “It’s not a very scientific process,” he said. “The way it falls a lot of the time is if Harrison County, Ind., gets a lot of snow, then the Battletown and Payneville areas around the river tend to get more snow. Also, if Flaherty and other areas close to Hardin County get a lot of snow, it may be relatively clear here in town, but travel in those areas may be difficult.” Crump also said elevation plays a part, and that all days missed are added to the end of the school calendar.
Active-duty soldiers may get income-tax exemption vide $4,249,000 in additional bond funding so that the facility can be constructed immediately, with the understanding that the federal funds will be received after the construction is concluded. The facility will accommodate the region’s existing waiting list for veterans. • $2.5 million for individual loans to Kentucky veterans up to $10,000. During the last legislative session, the Kentucky General Assembly enacted HB 314 to establish a veterans’ personal loan program trust fund within the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs (KDVA). The bill authorized KDVA to lend up to $10,000 to qualified veterans, a deceased veterans’ unremarried spouse or the qualified child of a veteran. The legislature, however, appropriate no funds to this program. Governor Fletcher proposes funding this program with $2.5 million. • Establishment of a veteran’s advocate within the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs to assist veterans through the state government application and interview process. Governor Fletcher’s proposal includes

The unit had been in charge of detainee operations at the coalition airbase in Bagram, Afghanistan. The exemption would be effective on Jan. 1, 2008. The exemption would have no fiscal impact in FY07 and would result in a tax expenditure of $8.6 million in FY08. Fletcher also announced his support for several veterans’ initiatives. They are: • Bonding the $6 million expansion of the Western Kentucky Veterans Center in Hopkins County. In 2006, the Kentucky General Assembly authorized construction of a 40-bed wing to the West Kentucky Veterans Center. The budget appropriated state bond funds of $1,757,000 to be used to match of federal funds which may be delayed. Fletcher’s proposal would pro-
BY JODI WHITAKER GOVERNOR’S OFFICE FRANKFORT – Gov. Ernie Fletcher recently announced his support for the complete exemption of active duty and reserve military pay from Kentucky income tax. The income tax exemption, for both federal and state military pay, would result in an average tax savings of $954 for each of the state’s 10,684 active duty military members. Kentucky’s 12,725 reservists and Kentucky National Guard personnel called to active duty would also benefit from the exemption with an average tax savings of $458 for each member of a reserve military component. Fletcher made the announcement in front of more than 100 members of the Kentucky Army National Guard who returned to Louisville today following a year-long deployment to Afghanistan. “Kentuckians always have answered the call to military duty when their country needed them,” Governor Fletcher told the soldiers. “You understand what it is to hold patriotism deep in your heart and to

to help disabled Kentucky veterans who receive benefits but are not able to manage their financial affairs. “These proposals are our way to remember our debt to all who have currently wear and those who have worn the uniform of the United States
Armed Forces and the Kentucky National Guard,” said Governor Fletcher. “As a veteran and as Commander in Chief of the Kentucky National Guard, it is my duty to do everything I can to help you — the Commonwealth’s new veterans.”

There may be lots of different ways to heat your home, but if you want to save money your local Meade County RECC is the only way to go. Compared to the price of propane and natural gas, electric heat is your most affordable option. In fact, our member owners pay one of the lowest rates for their electricity in the entire country, even as they enjoy the kind of reliable service money can't buy.

Study: Disabled vets self-employed less BY JOHN MCDOWELL SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON, D.C. – Service-disabled veterans are selfemployed at a rate significantly lower than the veteran population as a whole, according to a study released by the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration. The study indicates that the discrepancy is about 25 to 50 percent. “This report provides policymakers with information that will better our understanding of veterans’ entrepreneurship,” said Thomas M. Sullivan, Chief Counsel for Advocacy. Written by Open Blue Solutions with funding from the Office of Advocacy, Self-Employment in the Veteran and ServiceDisabled Veteran Population, attributes most of the lower selfemployment rate of service-disabled veterans to disabilities that hinder their ability to work. The study’s authors used data covering the years 1985 to 2005, derived from three sections of the Current Population Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These datasets allowed them to track the employment of service-disabled veterans over time. The Office of Advocacy, the “small business watchdog” of the federal government, examines the role and status of small business in the economy and independently represents the views of small business to fed-

eral agencies, Congress, and the President. It is the source for small business statistics presented in user-friendly formats, and it funds research into small business issues.

BY LAURA SKILLMAN UK COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE PRINCETON – Wet, muddy conditions coupled with feed shortages could have Kentucky’s cattle going into the upcoming calving season in less than optimal condition. Hay supplies appear to be tight for some producers and feed supplements have seen substantial price increases, tempting some producers to try to “rough” their cattle through the winter, said Roy Burris, beef cattle specialist with the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture. Farmers should avoid the urge to cut back on hay or feed supplements in the coming weeks, he said. It is important to feed a balanced ration. Because of the muddy conditions, the cows udders are muddy and nursing calves could be susceptible to e-coli scours, Burris said. Additionally, cows in poor body condition because of less than optimal nutrition may mean less immunity is passed on to calves. These calves may be weaker making them even more susceptible to scours. “If it stays warm and muddy, we have the increased scour possibility,” he said. “If the calves are weaker and we have a real cold snap, then you could have calf losses and that’s what you want to guard against. This has the potential to be a tough calving season.” In at least one previous year when bad weather was coupled with feed shortages, some central Kentucky cattle producers sustained calf losses as high as 20 percent. And Burris said he wants producers to avoid putting themselves into a situation where that could happen again. Kentucky’s spring calving season generally begins in late February, and Burris said between now and then farmers need to try to keep their cattle in good body condition with proper nutrition. Another management tool farmers can employ is to reserve a field and move cattle into it just before

calving to reduce some of the excessively muddy conditions. Cattle producers have been coping with wet, muddy conditions throughout the fall and
October 2006 saw above-average precipitation while November and December were below normal, said Tom Priddy, UK meteorologist.

Parents usually rewarded after teen years QUESTION: Are there times when good, loving parents don't like their own kids very much? DR. DOBSON: Yes, just as there are times in a good marriage when husbands and wives don't like each other for a while. What you should do in both situations is hang tough. Look for ways to make the relationship better, but never give up your commitment to one another. That is especially true during your child's teen years, when the person you see will be very different in a few years. Wait patiently for him or her to grow up. You'll be glad you did. ****** QUESTION: I majored in education at a state university and was taught that children will provide their own motivation to learn if we give them an opportunity to do so. My professors favored a "studentled" classroom instead of one that depends on strong leadership from the teacher. The children will then
innate love of learning is as muddleheaded as to say that children have an innate love of baseball. Some do. Some don't. Left to themselves, a F OCUS ON large percentage THE FAMILY of the small fry will go fishing, pick a fight, tease the girls, or watch Superman on the TV. Even as you and I." This educator was right. Many J AMES students will not D OBSON invest one more ounce of effort in their studies than is required, and that fact has frustrated teachers for hundreds of years. Our schools, therefore, must have enough structure and discipline to require certain behavior from children whether or not they have a natural interest in the subject being taught.
want to learn rather than being forced to learn. Do you see it that way? DR. DOBSON: I certainly agree that we should try to motivate kids to work, study and learn. They'll enjoy the process more and retain the information longer if their motivation comes from within. So I think your professors are right in saying that we should capitalize on students' natural interest whenever we can But it is naive to believe that any educational program can generate that kind of interest in every subject and sustain it for a majority of students day in and day out. That is not going to happen. Kids need to learn some things that may be boring to them, such as math or grammar, whether they choose to or not. A former superintendent of public instruction in the state of California reacted to the notion that children have a natural interest in everything adults think they should know. He said: "To say that children have an
****** QUESTION: In one of your early books you talked about something you gave to your daughter that symbolized the importance of moral purity. Describe it again. DR. DOBSON: Many years ago Shirley and I gave our daughter a small gold key. It was attached to a chain worn around her neck and represented the key to her heart. She made a vow to give that key to one man only — the one who would share her love through the remainder of her life. You might consider a similar gift for your daughter or a special ring for your son. These go with them throughout adolescence and provide a tangible reminder of the lasting, precious gift of abstinence until marriage, and then fidelity to the mate for life. I still recommend this approach enthusiastically. ****** QUESTION: Our teenage daughter
Give spirit a chance to catch up Come away by yourselves and rest awhile. People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. — Mark 6:31 In a famous old Greek myth, King Sysyphus is condemned to Hades for his sins. For all eternity, he is forced to roll a huge boulder up a hill. Each time he gets near the top, the boulder rolls back down to the bottom and he has to start all over again. The hellish part is that he will never succeed, but neither can ever he stop. My mother used to complain about her own version of this curse: “I don’t get the dishes done before it’s time to start another meal!” I call my own version “the endless loop.” Since much of my work happens on week-ends, my life is not marked by a clear beginning or clear end. I usually keep going and going like some kind of crazed Energizer Bunny until I get in such bad shape (or get on enough people’s nerves), that I am forced to stop. I am reminded of a story about a man who was exploring Africa. He was in a desperate hurry to get through the jungle. He had three or
people, winning some and losing some. Tired, exhausted, without time even to eat, they were ready for a break. Jesus invited them to go with him to a deserted place so that “their spirits had a chance to catch up.” In the story of creation, God is poetically pictured as “laboring” for six days and “resting” on the seventh. We modern-day Americans have a tendency to dismiss this idea as outdated and old-fashioned. We think we know better, so most of us go like a bat-out-of-hell until we limp into a short vacation or are carted off to the hospital for a coronary by-pass. Maybe God is right. Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are. Maybe we do need to regularly rest our bodies, minds, hearts and souls so as to “let our spirits catch up.” Rev. J. Ronald Knott, a periodic columnist, is the son of Jim and Ethel Knott of Rhodelia. He is presently serving as a Campus Minister at Bellarmine University and Director of the Institute for Priests and Presbyterates at St. Meinrad School of Theology. He is also a weekly columnist for THE RECORD, author of several books and a national
four Africans helping him carry his equipment. They raced onward for about three days. At the end of the third day, the Africans sat down and would not move. He urged them to get up, telling them of the E NCOURAGING pressure he was W ORDS under to meet a certain deadline. They refused to move. Even after much persuasion, they still refused to move. Finally, he got J. R ONALD one of them to admit the reason. K NOTT “We have moved too quickly, now we need to wait till our spirits have a chance to catch up.” We read that Jesus sent his apostles out to preach the word and heal the sick. Being their first time out, they evidently approached it in a fever pitch. They had been on a long road trip, walking the dusty roads of Galilee, sleeping out in the open, going from town to town, meetings crowds of

JAIL
Former Brandenburg police officer killed James Michael White was shot and killed by a Louisville police officer after White lunged at him with a knife, according to a press release. White, 33, died at University Hospital early in the morning on Jan. 27. According the press release, the officer attempted to stop the vehicle White was driving shortly after midnight. White refused to stop until he reached the trailer park on
the 2800 block of Clark Run Road. After exiting his vehicle, White pulled a knife and lunged at the officer but the officer deflected the attack and shot White in the chest. Deputy Coroner Jack Arnold said White has an extensive criminal history with at least two felony convictions, according to the press release. White was formerly a police officer in West Point, Ky., and in Brandenburg from September of 1996 to May of 1997.
Brandenburg Mayor David Pace said the jail is nostalgic to many people in Meade County. “I think it’s one of the oldest pieces left in downtown,” he said. “A lot of newer citizens probably don’t realize that was the original jail, and a lot of the older ones are glad to see it salvaged. It brings back a lot of memories to me and a lot of people in Meade County.” Pace said the introduction of

not used to back home in New Jersey. Doe Valley was awesome. My first impression was it was very nice.” Brad Johnson, executive director of OneKnox, whose mission is to give transitioning military members an introduction to the area, said Fort Knox will reduce its on-post housing by 450 during the transition, meaning the majority of soldiers coming in will have to live off post. Johnson also said the permanent party soldiers replacing the training soldiers at Fort Knox will have a greater
impact on the community. “They’re going to spend dollars in the community that training soldiers don’t,” he said. Fort Knox will close its doors as a training installation and will send its Armor School packing to Fort Benning, Ga., along with the Regional Corrections Facility being moved to Fort Leavenworth, Kan. In their place will be an Infantry Brigade Combat Team consisting of about 3,500 soldiers, and the Human Resources Command, which is mostly composed of civilian employees.
advice your mother gave you — wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and stay home from work or school if you are feeling ill.” In the United States each year, approximately 200,000 people are hospitalized and 36,000 people die from the flu. Unlike the common cold, influenza is a severe viral illness with symptoms that include a high fever, headache, extreme fatigue, cough, runny or stuffy nose and severe muscle aches. Stomach symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, also can occur, but are more common in children than adults. Illness can persist for up to two weeks causing loss of income and excessive school absence. Complications of flu can include bacterial pneumonia, dehydration and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, asthma or diabetes. The supply of flu vaccine in local health departments in Kentucky is plentiful and getting vaccinated in January or later is still important because most influenza activity occurs
in January or later in most years. Though it varies, flu season can last as late as May. Two methods of vaccination for flu are available. The “flu shot” is an inactivated vaccine that is given with a needle. The flu shot is approved for use in people 6 months of age and older, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. The nasal spray flu vaccine, sometimes called “LAIV” for Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine, is approved for use in healthy people 5 to 49 years of age who are not pregnant. Within 10 days of vaccination, you develop protection against the flu. DPH urges anyone who hasn’t received a flu vaccine, particularly those in the groups at high risk for complications related to the flu, to contact their local health departments about getting a flu shot. Older Kentuckians should also consider getting the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. For more information about the flu, visit DPH’s Web site at http://chfs.ky.gov/dph/epi/I nfluenza.htm or CDC’s Web site at http://www.cdc. gov/flu/.
Myers said. “Some didn’t know about the underground railroad. The slaves were conditioned to believe their only lot in life was to be a slave.” Myers said some experts argue slaves were treated better in Kentucky because it was so much easier for slaves to escape, but Myers said he isn’t sure how well that argument holds up. Marion Lucas, an AfricanAmerican studies professor at Western Kentucky University, said slaves often would be sent across the river on errands and would return home afterward. “People ask, ‘Why don’t more blacks run away?’ and the answer is they would have to leave their family,” he said. Lucas said his research on the Underground Railroad produced different opinions than Myers.
“What I found in my research, most of the slaves who ran away pretty much ran away on their own,” he said. “That is, they didn’t have help and they decided to run away and if they make it to the Ohio (River) they may find some help on the other side, but even the chance of finding help on the other side isn’t good. As far as slavery was concerned, almost everyone, North and South, felt blacks were inferior.” Lucas also believes tales of the Underground Railroad in the South are “a bit exaggerated.” “The reason for that is, blacks who were trying to become free didn’t know whom they could trust,” he said. “To tell someone you were planning to run away will result in being caught. That’s the way life was.”

announced recently that flu activity in the commonwealth is now considered “widespread,” a designation indicating increased flu-like activity or flu outbreaks in at least half of the regions in a state. Five other states have been given this designation in the Weekly United States Influenza Surveillance Report. In recent years, the peak of flu season in Kentucky has occurred in February and March, meaning there is enough time to take advantage of public health measures to ward off the onset of flu. “It is not too late to get your flu shot if you have not had one in the past six months. It is the best preventive measure you can take to keep from contracting this debilitating and sometimes fatal virus,” said William Hacker, Health and Family Services’ acting undersecretary for health and public health commissioner. “And, by all means, don’t ignore the

and Tennessee. In both cases there was a connection in Corydon. When they crossed at Brandenburg they were also bound to Corydon, where there were several safe-houses where runaways would stay for a short amount of time.” According to an article written by Myers on the subject, about 756 fugitive slaves escaped from Kentucky, a surprisingly low number considering there were more than 300,000 slaves in the state. “Slaves didn’t know how to escape and didn’t feel they could, and if they tried and were captured, they’d be beaten within inches of the lives,”

Girls give coach 100th win of career BY SHAUN T. COX SPORTS@THENEWSSTANDARD.COM
The Lady Waves gave Coach Josh Hurt a special gift Tuesday night with their win over Bullitt Central — his 100th career victory. Meade (7-11) won a slowpaced defensive struggle 39-35 at Bullitt Central (7-11) after causing 30 turnovers. “It was a big win for us out of the region against a team that’s struggling right now, but one that’s beaten some good teams, like Boyle County,” Hurt said. “They’re almost a mirror image of us, especially when you look at their record. Their confidence is a little down because they’ve lost some games here lately (eight straight).” Hurt said he was happy his team was able to grind out a tough victory despite shooting
only 29 percent. “What I was really proud of was we didn’t shoot the ball well, we turned it over too much, but last night we finally grew up and learned that when those things aren’t happening, if you can stop somebody, you can win,” he said. “Defensively we did a JOSH HURT tremendous job. They only scored 12 points in the second half.” Junior guard Mindy Oliver paced Meade with 14 points, while senior forward Kayla Stull had six points, five boards, three steals and a block. Senior guard Jasmine Newby had six steals, four points and three assists, while junior guard Kim Mont-
gomery added four points, four steals and three assists. Hurt was the coach at Gallatin County, where he went 6569 in five years before becoming the Meade County head coach in 2004, going 35-39 in two-plus years. Hurt had an opportunity for his 100th win last Friday, but Floyd (Ind.) Central went on a 6-0 run in the first quarter and never looked back, winning 62-46. Floyd was able to hit about 49 percent of its shots from the field and got 38 points in the paint to Meade’s 20. “I think they were one of the most fundamentally sound defensive teams and they did a lot of good things to stop us,” Hurt said. “I don’t think it was necessarily a matter of us just PLEASE

Breckinridge County’s boys’ basketball team hasn’t beaten Meade County since Jan. 2, 2004 — during lone senior Riley Benock’s freshman year. “He played about three minutes that game because everybody fouled out,” Coach Jerry Garris said. “That was a double-overtime game and all my guards had fouled out and I had to put him in … but looking back, I should have played him a lot more than what we did. We beat ourselves that night and the only thing I really remember is that we were down a bunch at the half, we came back and turned them over about 36 times, we missed 19 free throws and lost in double-overtime.” A lot has changed since that
meeting, as the two teams are now members of the same district and play at least twice a year instead of once. Meade (14-6) has owned Breckinridge, winning the last five by almost 11 points per game. The newly minted regularseason district champion Greenwave basketball team goes on the road to Breckinridge County tonight, looking for its sixthstraight win against its arch rival. This season, Meade won the first meeting 56-36 on Dec. 7. The Tigers (8-11) have struggled of late, losing seven of their last nine games. Meade has headed in the opposite direction, winning five in a row and eight of nine while moving to the top of the regional rankings. Garris said the Tigers tried a PLEASE

Meade County senior quarterback-to-be J.L. Cannady helped lead his team to the district championship last year and looks to parlay that success to even greater heights next season. In doing so, he has achieved some success of his own. Cannady recently participated with 500 of the top high school underclassmen at the U.S. Army National Combine. Zach Morolda, director of the U.S. Army National Combine and chairman of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, said everyone was very impressed with Cannady’s performance and said every player at the combine has a chance to play big-time college football. “If they’re on our list, their chances are very good to play at a Division I school,” Morolda said. “They will have a shot to make it to the next level. Out of about 80 quarterbacks here, maybe one-third of them will start at a D-I program.” The combine was held Jan. 2-6 in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. According to the combine’s website, it was created and designed by NFL and collegiate coaches and is the only national combine modeled after the NFL’s version, held each year before the NFL draft in Indianapolis. For Cannady, it was a great personal experience and an eye-opener.

Did Montoya send drivers a message? BY BUDDY SHACKLETTE DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — OK, it may have just been a road-course race — among the world’s best — but NASCAR newcomer Juan Pablo Montoya and team owner Chip Ganassi could both may have very well sent a huge message to the Nextel contingent last weekend. Montoya, arguably NASCAR’s most identifiable driver around the world, competed in the Rolex 24 At Daytona last weekend, wheeling Ganassi’s No. 01 Lexus Riley. The Columbian native co-drove the entry with road-course regulars Scott Pruett and Salvador Duran, but Montoya also brought home gold in the world’s most-prestigious endurance
race — and with a handful of high-profile Nextel Cup regulars competing. It was Montoya’s first Rolex run and Ganassi’s second win in a row in the event. Still Montoya won on the verge of his first full season in Nextel cup racing – and he won at Daytona, a place many have tried and faltered at over the years. “I think the history behind Daytona is like the Indianapolis of stock cars. It’s a big deal like Monaco in Europe,’’ said Montoya. “The tradition and everything, is just like the size of the grandstands. It’s a pretty big deal.’’ Officially, Montoya is one of the five drivers running for Rookie of the Year, but last weekend’s outing may have been a taste of what’s to come from the
reuniting of Ganassi and Montoya. Montoya had driven for Ganassi in 1999 when he dominated the CART Series and in 2000 when he won the Indianapolis 500. Discontented with his Formula One team last season, Montoya shocked F-1, the world and NASCAR when he announced his intention to jump to NASCAR and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. Jumping to Ganassi wasn’t a surprise. Jumping to NASCAR was. After seven wins and a championship in F3000, 10 wins and a championship in CART, an Indy 500 victory and seven wins in Formula 1, a move from Formula 1 to Cup meant a significant pay-cut and a potential loss in fans
– from a worldly following to an American following. The move is considered the equivalent of Jeff Gordon heading to the USAC Midgets. F1 and the world’s loss could very well be Cup and America’s gain as Montoya’s every move in NASCAR has been well-documented. “(All of the attention) is shocking in a way. It’s completely different because (Michael) Schumacher in America is nobody. What (Dale) Earnhardt is in America, probably Schumacher is in Europe,’’ said Montoya. “I think a lot of the guys that followed me in openPLEASE

not making shots. They did a great job on Mindy, who’s our leading scorer. Most of the credit on that game goes to them.” Nothing seemed to go right for Meade, which shot about 38 percent from the field and turned the ball over 23 times against Floyd’s press. “We’ve been pressing all season long and that’s how our team has evolved into playing,” Floyd coach Joe Voelker said. “This is our seventh win in a row and we’re starting to click here at the right time of the season.” Meade was outrebounded by 11 and its bench was outscored 17-4. “They had some size and, when their big kid got into foul trouble, they were able to bring another one off the bench and she was just as effective,” Hurt said. “They held us to one shot a lot of the time and they were able to rebound. They were able to get the ball into the paint. They had a couple of quick guards who were able to penetrate and cause some problems.” Voelker, who coached at Presentation in Louisville before taking the Floyd job, said his assistant was able to scout Meade at the Lady’s Invitational of the South. “We knew they were a good team and we knew it would be a good atmosphere for us to prepare for our sectional (tournament) because our state tournament starts in two weeks,” he said. “We knew they were athletic and they play very, very hard, and we knew it would be a good team for us to face going into our tournament play.” Stull led the way for the Lady Waves with 16 points, while Newby and Oliver had 11 apiece. Newby had five steals and Oliver led the Waves with seven rebounds. Last Thursday, the Lady Waves beat Breckinridge County 53-34 and locked up their strangle hold on the top seed for district play, which guarantees them a first-round match-up with winless Frederick Fraize. A win against Fraize, a team Meade beat by 57 on Jan. 19, would put the Lady Waves into the regional tournament. Meade County forced more than 20 turnovers for the fourth straight game, with 29. Stull led the way with 15 points, nine rebounds and three assists. Oliver had 12 points, five boards and four assists, and Newby had 11 points, four boards, three assists and seven steals. Hurt will begin his quest for his next 100 wins tomorrow as the girls travel to Fort Knox (210) to take on the downtrodden Lady Eagles at 2 p.m. Fort Knox has beaten only two teams all year, Frederick Fraize (0-14) of Cloverport and Caverna (1-17). Fort Knox beat Caverna by 42 in its first game of the season, and then lost the re-match by one point Jan. 22. “Early in the season they looked like they might be competitive, but they’ve taken some real beatings in their district playing some good teams,” Hurt said. “There’s no telling what that does to the confidence of a team. They’re in the same situation as a Cloverport, but they’re probably a little better than that. They’re playing a lot of young kids and they have a short bench. The JV game has been canceled because they don’t have enough kids to play.”
Meade County senior guard Jasmine Newby goes up for a shot against Floyd Central. Newby had 11 points and five steals in the 62-46 loss last Friday. The Lady Waves earned the 11th District regular-season championship by defeating Breckinridge County on the road last Thursday, and are undefeated in district play with one game remaining against winless Frederick Fraize at home on Feb. 10. THE NEWS STANDARD/ SHAUN T. COX
One of those beatings was a 104-point loss Dec. 8 to North Hardin, 123-19. Meade and Fort Knox have several common opponents this season, including Fraize, Monroe County, North Hardin, John Hardin and Breckinridge County. Aside from crushing Fraize, which both teams have done, Fort Knox has lost to all other common opponents by an average of almost 60 points per game. Meade lost to North Hardin, John Hardin and Monroe County by an average of about 27 points, and has beaten Breckinridge twice by an average of 29 points. Thursday, the girls host South Oldham, a team that has been up and down all season. Oldham (9-8), the defending Eighth District champion, began its season 0-3, then won four in a row and has bounced back and forth between wins and losses. Oldham and Meade have not faced any common opponents this season. All-region guard Lauren Jones, the state’s 24th leading scorer at 19.6 points per game, leads the Lady Dragons with 5-5 backcourt mate Ally Byrd, a defensive stopper. Hurt said he’ll try Newby and Oliver on Jones. “Jasmine is the obvious choice, but Mindy is longer with a little more wingspan,” he said. “Lauren Jones is really a great shooter. Either way we go they’ll do a good job and both will probably guard her.” South Oldham also has some size inside with two 6footers in Amber Conniff and Brittany Shaver, as well as 5-10 Meg McMullen, who all have starting experience. Hurt said his starters have been playing great defense and the bench will have to offer support to battle South Oldham’s size advantage. “Kayla Stull is going to have to keep doing the job she’s been doing and we’re going to have to get some help off the bench,” he said. “Kayla Fackler is going to have to play big and we’ve got some kids like Kayla Ross and Bliss Powers that can come in and give us some size. Chelsea Stinnett and Carly Evans can come in and give us some quickness. We’ll basically have to use our speed and play smart.” According to the KHSAA, the Lady Dragons are 13th in the state in scoring defense, allowing about 41 points per game, and eighth in free-throw shooting, hitting at a 70-percent clip from the line. Hurt said South Oldham’s slow approach on offense leads to opponents low scores and its low defensive numbers. “The key will be to value possessions because there just won’t be a lot of them. They’ve done that to us the last two
years,” he said. “Both games have been very close and low scoring. I think they were both one-point wins for them, and we’ll have to make every possession count. We can’t go fiveor six-straight possessions with turnovers or bad shots because that’s what will get us in the hole.” Box scores: Lady Waves 39, Lady Cougars 35 Meade: Oliver 4-11 4-4 14, Stull 3-10 0-2 6, Montgomery 1-4 2-2 4, Newby 1-8 2-2 4, Evans 2-5 0-0 4, Wilson 1-1 12 3, Fackler 1-4 1-2 3, Stinnett 0-1 1-2 1, Wathen 0-1 0-0 0.

Used Car Dealer Swears Under Oath That Methods Used To Help Customers Obtain Credit Are 100% Legal Many say he performs “credit miracles” MULDRAUGH - After being hailed as a “miracle worker” by many and as “too good to be legal” by others, sales manager of Knox Budget Car Sales, Randy Hendrickson, agrees to settle the case once and for all by taking a sworn oath in front of an audience of 24. “I hereby certify that our credit policy is completely legal and involves no form of supernatural intervention,” said Randy during his oath. Last month Randy and his team were able to secure financing to 76 new customers, most of whom had been turned down time and time again in the past. “Listen…I don’t care what other car dealers say. I know my customers – and I know they will pay, even if they’ve had problems in the past,” explains Randy. “I’ve spent a lot of time and a lot of money building solid relationships with banks and lenders who are committed to approving my customers. I trust my customers and the banks trust me…that’s all there is to it.” So what kind of credit problems has Randy Hendrickson been able to deal with? When asked, he proudly rattled off a list including bankruptcy, medical bills, charge offs, late payments, divorces, student loan problems, IRS demands, repossessions, and more. Chuck Crain, finance manager, and Randy’s right hand man explains, “It’s not my business to judge other people. We all make mistakes. That doesn’t mean we won’t do the right thing when given another chance. Like the Bible says, ‘Let he without sin cast the first stone.’” Helping people get approved isn’t the only thing Randy and his team do well. The hundreds of pictures of smiling past customers that line the wall of the dealership tells a story of a car buying experience like none other. “In my mind, buying a car should be fun and easy. It shouldn’t be a terrifying experience like it is for most people. So, we all make a big family environment here on the weekends. We bring in food and jumpers for the kids and have animals from the zoo…anything that can
Randy Hendrickson (known as the credit miracle worker) and Chuck Crain (finance manager) appear taking oath. help people relax and have a good time. Because that’s what we are – we’re a family. Many of our customers have bought cars from us 3 or 4 times in the past,” tells Randy. “Are we miracle workers? Can we help everybody? No. There’s no magic. We get people approved because we work hard and they work hard. If a person has a job and can put together a few hundred dollars to show their commitment to the bank, we can usually get them approved. But if you don’t have the initiative to get and keep a job, we can’t help you. You gotta help yourself before we can,” Randy continued. If you’re interested in finding out if Randy and his team can help you, call Knox Budget Car Sales at 800-608-6944 and ask to speak with Chuck. Chuck will get some basic information from you over the phone then schedule an appointment. “You can be in and out in less than an hour in many cases,” promised Chuck, “so don’t be afraid to call for any reason – we live to help people just like you.” -Paid Advertisement

S PORTS B RIEFS Local racer has good weekends LOUISVILLE — Last weekend, Justin Sipes of Flaherty finished second in the 125cc AMA Arenacross Lites and the 250cc AMA Arenacross divisions at Broadbent Arena in Louisville. Sipes took second on his Kawasaki bike in both classes on Friday but failed to qualify Saturday. It was the second winning weekend in a row for Sipes. He took home about $1,400 in prize money in Pikeville at the Eastern Kentucky Exposition Center Jan. 19-20. Friday, Sipes placed seventh in the 250f Arenacross Lites division and fourth in the 450cc Arenacross division. Sipes won both divisions Saturday.

“That was my first time going to Texas, and my dad and I flew together,” he said. “It was really a great opportunity for me to go down there. I was really glad to see a lot of the competition for the class of ’08, and I got to meet several of the top guys and make a lot of new friends. It was good to see how competitive it is and how hard I have to work to achieve my goal of playing college football.” Morolda said the chance for an individual — and a quarterback specifically — to see how he stacks up against some of the top high school players is a good measuring stick for his abilities. “It’s really an opportunity for them to find out how they match up against some of the top defensive backs out there, because even if they’re a top prospect in their state, until they get to a big stage like this, they never really know how they stack up against top competition,” he said. “Our alumni lists speak for itself as far as the type of talented players we’ve had here. It gives them a chance to compete at the highest level and to show every aspect of their game.” The combine was first established in 2002 and big-name players such as Ohio State wide receiver/kick return specialist Ted Ginn Jr., and Tim Tebow, who will start at quarterback for the national champion Florida Gators next season, are among combine alumni. Despite seeing 500 players and 80 quarterbacks, Morolda immediately recognized Cannady by name and was complimentary of his abilities. “He was pretty highly touted coming in, and they (the scouting committee) were impressed with his performance coming out of it,” he said. “His was a name that people were talking about when we were preparing to select the athletes and his was a name we heard a lot about. Our scoring committee was excited about seeing him and he didn’t disappoint.” Cannady said it’s nice to be recognized, but he also realizes not everyone will become a college football star and having other options is important. “They educated us on how college football works,” he said. “They really emphasized

having a solid back-up plan if everything doesn’t work out for you because of injury or lack of talent, and they really did a great job giving us things to think about if football doesn’t work out.” Morolda said Cannady participated in all the measurable tests, something many athletes won’t do because they are trying to cover a perceived weakness. Measurables include height, weight, wingspan, reach, bench press, vertical, pro agility and the 40-yard dash. “He tested well, weighing in at about 175 pounds and he turned out some pretty fast times as far as quarterbacks are concerned,” he said. “He ran a 4.9-40 (yard dash) and 4.53 shuttle in some pretty poor conditions. It was cold and rainy — the weather was really poor — so these are respectable numbers. “He didn’t shy away from the measurable drills either. He was very confident, and that says a lot about him. He did all the measurable testing and his performance shows that he has the physical tools to compete at the next level. Scouts don’t like it when recruits don’t participate in the measurables because it looks like they’re hiding some kind of deficiency, but he did and that bodes well for him.” Morolda said Cannady’s performance in passing drills was outstanding and he was able to make the players around him better, the true sign of a leader. “His ability to perform in the 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 drills are what really set him apart,” Morolda said. “He made some tough throws, and he really made some receivers look good, probably better than they are.” Cannady said he was happy with the way he threw, but he is working hard to put more zip on the ball. “I was pleased with my performance and there were a lot of really good players there, but I would say I was in the upper half of the quarterbacks,” he said. “We threw quite a bit the first day and I thought I did well. The actual combine was outdoors and it was a little chilly, but all the throwing was done inside the Alamodome. I would say more than anything I need to improve my arm strength. I was pleased with it, but there were several guys that were better than me throwing the ball and that really gives me something to strive to

Local guard nominated for McDonald’s All-American BRANDENBURG — Meade County senior guard Riley Benock was accepted as an official nominee for the prestigious McDonald’s All-America team. Vince Tanner, who owns the McDonald’s in Brandenburg, was at Meade County High School Wednesday to present Benock with the official nomination in the school library. According to the McDonald’s website, players are chosen each year by a selection committee of prominent high school coaches, media and prep scouts. The pool of officially accepted nominees is about 2,500 players, and only the top 24 will make the two teams. More than 97 percent of players named McDonald’s All-American played at a bigtime Division I program and more than 100 are playing in the NBA.
wheel are really interested in seeing how I do and they’re going to be following me a lot. In a way I think it’s good for the sport. It really shows how big NASCAR and how big this deal is.” Last year Montoya ran in four Busch events and had a fiery Cup debut at Homestead-Miami. Last weekend he topped five other Cup regulars, including four former Cup champions, for the top prize at Daytona that weekend. The rides of Gordon, AJ Allmendinger, Bobby Labonte and Jimmie Johnson found the lead at some point in Daytona International Speedway’s twicearound-the-clock sprint. Gordon, a four-time Cup champion, wheeled the No. 10 Pontiac Riley with Max Angelelli, Wayne Taylor and Jan Magnussen as the foursome brought home a third-place finish. “I had a great experience. I didn’t know what to expect. I had a blast out there but I made some mistakes so I’m going to have to come back,’’ said Gordon. “All in all it was a really great experience. It’s a lot of hard work. It’s a very challenging race.”
improve.” Cannady’s high school coach, Larry Mofield, said he is proud of him and he expects him to use his experience to elevate the team’s play going into next year. “I think anytime you get invited to something like this, it’s a special thing and I think it’s good for him,” he said. “You still have to keep it within the team concept, and I think he’ll use it as springboard going into next fall. What separates talented kids is hard work and it’s a lot about who wants to work the hardest to be the best.” Mofield said individual exposure would heighten awareness of the entire team. “I think it’s important overall for the program and it’s good because it helps get more kids into your program,” he said. “Kids see the success you have and want to come out and play with you. If you can get a kid signed (in college) it gets your program a lot of recognition. Mofield said the biggest thing, from a personal standpoint, is for the players who get signed to get a top-notch education — free of charge. “Most importantly, if J.L. can go and play college football, he’ll get an education and I think that’s what gets lost sometimes,” he said. “If a kid can get his education paid for while playing football — a game that he loves — then that’s just great. In the 17 years I’ve been here, we’ve had one Division I kid and that was Blake (Powers, who signed to play quarterback at Indiana University). The biggest thing is for him to get a good education because that will last him forever — and at some point, football will be over.” Cannady, who has received letters from Indiana, Alabama, Purdue and Princeton among others, said Powers has been an invaluable source of advice for him and his family. Powers signed with IU, won the starting job at quarterback and broke numerous school records, only to be supplanted by a redshirt freshman after a coaching change. “I’ve learned a lot from Blake and I’ve gone to see him a couple of times at IU to see what it’s like,” he said. “Our parents have talked about the recruiting process, how it works and about picking colleges. Blake was one of my idols growing up and I’m really glad to have someone like him to look up to for advice.” Now that Cannady has seen
what takes to make it to the next level, he and his coach are looking toward what it will take to succeed next season. The Greenwave will graduate only 10 seniors from last season’s district champion squad and return a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. Mofield and Cannady agree that a balanced attack will be the key to building on last year’s postseason success. “We’ll seek that balance because when you play a schedule like ours, you have to have that,” Mofield said. “If you throw the ball 50 or 60 times a game you had better convert. If you don’t, you’re just giving the ball right back to the opponent, and against teams like John Hardin and North Hardin, they will score if you give them the ball too many times.” Cannady said one offensive aspect feeds the other and he plans to work hard this off-season. “We were really effective this year running and passing, and that makes it really hard for opposing defenses,” he said. “It’s great for the pass when you can run and it’s great for the run when you can pass, so I would expect for us to keep that balance. I’m working on everything from reading defenses, working on my footwork and developing team chemistry. All of that will hopefully equal wins for us in the next year.” Mofield said a lot of what a team does offensively comes out of what opponents do defensively. “Last year, in the Nelson County game we threw it a lot because that’s what they gave us,” he said. “We’ll take what a team gives us because if they give it to you and you don’t capitalize, shame on you as a coach.” Mofield said he hopes his players recognize that team achievements will lead to individual accolades. “What we tell these guys is that they will get recognition through team success,” he said. “When your team does well, people can’t help but notice you. A team is made up of individuals and together, they are the reasons we have success. The more we have as a team, the more you will get yourself. You can’t fly under the radar if you win on the field. We have a couple of other kids that can play at the next level, and the success we have next fall will only help them move on to that next level.”

4-H Variety Show set for March 3 BY CAROLE GOODWIN CEA FOR 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
More college grads staying in Kentucky BY LEE NIMOCKS COUNCIL ON POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION FRANKFORT -- The vast majority of people who earn degrees at Kentucky’s public colleges and universities stay in Kentucky after graduation according to a Council on Postsecondary Education study released recently at a Council meeting in Frankfort. The study shows 95 percent of resident graduates from public colleges and universities stay in Kentucky after completing their degree or credential, a 12 percent increase from a similar study in 2000. The study analyzed how many people completing their degree in 2001 were still residing in Kentucky in 2006. This study is a follow-up to a study conducted by the Council in 2000, which looked at the migration of the 1993-94 and 1994-95 classes of Kentucky college graduates. Between 2000 and 2006, the overall proportion of graduates (resident and non-resident) from Kentucky public colleges and universities who chose to remain in the state increased from 73 to 86 percent. The number of non-resident students remaining in Kentucky five years later rose more than 50 percent (37 percent in 2006 compared to 24 percent in the 2000 study) and roughly half (49 percent) of international students also chose to stay after graduation. While the percentage of graduates remaining in the state increased, the number of people earning degrees and credentials in Kentucky also increased. This results in an even greater increase of 36 percent in the actual number of graduates staying in Kentucky between 2000 and 2006. Individuals with a 4-year degree or higher are also remaining in Kentucky in higher numbers. The percent of graduates with a bachelor’s degree still residing in Kentucky rose from 71 percent in 2000 to 87 percent in 2006. The percent of students who earned doctorates and chose to stay in Kentucky nearly doubled from 27 to 52 percent during this time period. The Council also approved tuition-rates increases of 9 percent at UK, 8.4 percent at Morehead State University, 9.4 percent at Eastern Kentucky University and 5.5 percent at the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. All tuition increases are within the tuition parameters established by the Council in 2006.

She also discussed how to properly inject goats and the different types of needles used. The members divided up and let the younger members inject an orange for practice. Carla Laslie, Goat Club leader, discussed different types of fund-raisers for the goat club to do. The club then decided to sell candles as a fund-rasier.

The swine club members got to do hands-on activities with the piglets. Mr. Johnson demonstrated how to clip needle teeth and how to clip the pig’s tail. He let volunteers do each piglet. He also showed them how to give injections. We then took a tour of the farrow house and saw day-old piglets. Then Mr. Johnson brought older piglets into the barn and showed us how to ear notch and castrate them. He also discussed different medications and feed choices.

H OROSCOPES ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The changes you’ve waited to see in your work situation might not be happening quite as quickly as you hoped. Although the pace is slow, it’s ongoing. Expect to hear news soon. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You should be feeling very proud of the fine effort you’ve made to get that important project done. Now take some time out to celebrate with family and friends. You’ve earned it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re close to reaching your objectives. That’s the good news. But be careful: Your aspects show lots of potential distractions looming. Stay focused and keep your eyes fixed on your goals. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful not to let that suspicious Cancerian mind create a problem where none exists. What you might believe is an act of betrayal could be nothing more than a misunderstanding. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your Lion’s heart overflows with self-confidence. All you need to do is tap into it, and you’ll be able to handle any change that must be made regarding that recent surprise development. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) The need to watch what you say becomes increasingly crucial this week. Be as temperate as you can with your comments and avoid arguments for the sake of controversy. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A longtime family problem presents new demands. But this time, you won’t have to go it alone: Someone else is asking to help share your responsibilities. Let it happen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A period of feeling vulnerable is about to give way to a stronger, more self-confident aspect. Use this new strength to reaffirm promises you’ve made to others and yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A creative dilemma stalls your progress. Instead of letting it raise your ire, use the time to reexamine your aims and, perhaps, come up with a new target. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your nimble will finds a way for you to work out those newly emerged problems plaguing your new project. Stay with it. The results will be well worth your efforts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might feel overwhelmed at having to decide which new opportunity you should follow. Best advice: Check them all out and see which offers what you really want. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Continue to tread water before you even consider plunging into something that never seemed quite right. Some facts will soon emerge that can help you make a decision. BORN THIS WEEK: You are a natural-born peacemaker. You value truth and have little patience with those who lie to you for their own purposes. © 2007 King Features Synd., Inc.

box-and-one defense in last year’s tournament game, which Meade narrowly won 50-46. “We saw it Saturday night (Floyd Central) and it won’t surprise me to see Breck do it,” Garris said. After facing the Tigers, the Greenwave will have off until Feb. 10. “We’re going to get rested,” Garris said. “At this time of the year, we try and keep their legs under them as much as we can. We’ll probably take Monday and Wednesday off and use that to rest and get kids caught up on schoolwork.” Garris said there aren’t many wrinkles left to add this late in the season. “When you get to this point in the year, there’s not a whole lot left to do except polish up some things,” he said. “We’ve shortened up practice and we’re trying to make sure everybody stays healthy and doesn’t get hurt.” The boys used an early third quarter run Tuesday to defeat Hancock County (10-10) and win the district’s No. 1 tournament seed outright. Leading 33-26 at the half, Meade came out and stretched the lead behind a flurry of three-point baskets. Benock hit two-straight threes followed by another from sophomore forward Jonathan Ives. Benock then hit another to stretch the lead out to 45-32, essentially breaking the Hornets. The Greenwave went on to win 6647. The three-point flurry by Meade surprised even its coach. “Four of our first five field goals were threes, and I didn’t realize that until I watched the film,” Garris said. “Nick (Stinnett) had one that could have been an old-fashioned three but missed the free throw. I thought coming out, with them playing a zone, we’d shoot them out of it, but they stayed in it and we got the lead up to 18 and they don’t shoot it well enough to catch up at that point.” Aside from the third-quarter run, Hancock coach Curtis Shelton was pleased with the way his team played. “I thought we guarded better than the first game, especially in
with a steal and a dunk to start the game. He had two that night.” Benock stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points, 12 boards, two assists, two blocks and three steals, while Stinnett led the team in scoring with 15 points. Junior guard Casey Hubbard contributed five steals and three assists, and Roe had five points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals.
the first half,” he said. “Benock went off that first couple of minutes of the second half and that’s what beat us. They came out and hit some threes, and with a team as good as they are, you can’t let that happen.” Shelton was unhappy with his team after the first meeting — a 70-55 home loss to Meade — because he felt the more physical Greenwave pushed it around. “I was very pleased with our physicality. We’re getting there,” he said. “It’s a learning experience for us and they’re starting to understand how I want them to play. I’m proud of my kids, the way they played in the first half, because they haven’t played very well the last couple of weeks and Meade’s a very good team. This is a positive step for us because we’re starting to get it.” Benock went 5 of 6 in the second half, including 3 of 4 from three, to finish with 24 points, eight boards, five assists and a steal. Junior center Nick Stinnett and junior forward Chris Roe also had standout performances, with 14 and 15 points, respectively, on 13 of 18 shooting combined. Roe also had 11 rebounds for the double-double, three assists and three steals. Last Saturday, the boys overcame a poor night shooting the ball and a minus-12 deficit in rebounding by forcing 25 turnovers, off which they scored 23 points, in beating the Floyd (Ind.) Central Highlanders (1-12), 47-33. “That was a different game for us because it was a different style and someone we’re not familiar with,” Garris said. “They worked on some things they said will help them in their postseason, and it was good for them to experiment. They play some triangle-two (defense) and it gave us some problems by slowing us down. It was good from our standpoint for us to see that we can win a game like that. I’d rather not play like that, but it was good for us to see because there are some teams in our region that do play like that.” The Greenwave defense was superb in holding the Highlanders to about 39 percent shooting for the game, including only six and five points in the first and second quarters, respectively. “We got after them from the get-go, going up 12-0 and 131,” Garris said. “We didn’t get the tip, but Riley opened it up

4-H Variety Show set for March 3 BY CAROLE GOODWIN CEA FOR 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
More college grads staying in Kentucky BY LEE NIMOCKS COUNCIL ON POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION FRANKFORT -- The vast majority of people who earn degrees at Kentucky’s public colleges and universities stay in Kentucky after graduation according to a Council on Postsecondary Education study released recently at a Council meeting in Frankfort. The study shows 95 percent of resident graduates from public colleges and universities stay in Kentucky after completing their degree or credential, a 12 percent increase from a similar study in 2000. The study analyzed how many people completing their degree in 2001 were still residing in Kentucky in 2006. This study is a follow-up to a study conducted by the Council in 2000, which looked at the migration of the 1993-94 and 1994-95 classes of Kentucky college graduates. Between 2000 and 2006, the overall proportion of graduates (resident and non-resident) from Kentucky public colleges and universities who chose to remain in the state increased from 73 to 86 percent. The number of non-resident students remaining in Kentucky five years later rose more than 50 percent (37 percent in 2006 compared to 24 percent in the 2000 study) and roughly half (49 percent) of international students also chose to stay after graduation. While the percentage of graduates remaining in the state increased, the number of people earning degrees and credentials in Kentucky also increased. This results in an even greater increase of 36 percent in the actual number of graduates staying in Kentucky between 2000 and 2006. Individuals with a 4-year degree or higher are also remaining in Kentucky in higher numbers. The percent of graduates with a bachelor’s degree still residing in Kentucky rose from 71 percent in 2000 to 87 percent in 2006. The percent of students who earned doctorates and chose to stay in Kentucky nearly doubled from 27 to 52 percent during this time period. The Council also approved tuition-rates increases of 9 percent at UK, 8.4 percent at Morehead State University, 9.4 percent at Eastern Kentucky University and 5.5 percent at the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. All tuition increases are within the tuition parameters established by the Council in 2006.

Then Mr. Johnson brought older piglets into the barn and showed us how to ear notch and castrate them. He also discussed different medications and feed choices.
