Solid Waste bids rejected By Charles L. Westmoreland editor@thenewsstandard.com
After months of preparing to contract out countywide garbage collection, Fiscal Court made a surprising decision Tuesday when the five bids submitted were all unanimously rejected. The decision came after members of the Solid Waste advisory board met Monday to review bids and make their recommendations to Fiscal Court. One of the bidders, Red River, resubmitted a newer, lower bid after a “misunderstanding” as to which party is responsible for bad debt was clarified. But advisory board members thought it best to not make a decision because of legal concerns of a sealed-bid being changed after all bids had been made public.
“The advisory board … after some questions came up, decided to table the meeting … in order to seek legal counsel on some of the matters,” Solid Waste Coordinator Mark Gossett said during Tuesday’s Fiscal Court meeting. “It’s important to the people of Meade County we get this right. For us to feel comfortable … we want to make sure up front everything is right.” Gossett said he also wanted to check on the “validity of the franchise agreement” before moving forward. Magistrates agreed that to avoid possible legal complications the process needed to start over. “Personally, I don’t think it is (legal),” said Magistrate Tony Staples. “When you open a sealed-bid you open a sealed-bid. But evidently there were some misunderstandings
of what they were bidding on.” Magistrate Herbie Chism, who was at Monday’s meeting as a liaison for Fiscal Court, believes Magistrates had a legal obligation to reject the bids. “What came out of the meeting last night was making sure what we were doing was 100 percent legal and not subjecting the county to a possible lawsuit … and I think we need to have the county attorney look at this,” he said. “If it means we have to reject the bids and do it all again, I don’t have a problem with that. We need to follow the rule of the law.” County Attorney Margaret Matney was not present at the meeting but Assistant County Attorney Greta Van Noe said her office would

Family suspects house fire caused by arsonists House’s security camera tampered with night of fire By Charles L. Westmoreland editor@thenewsstandard.com Flaherty residents William H. and Joyce Basham lost nearly everything they owned last weekend when their home caught fire Saturday night. To add insult to injury, two men were spotted at their home two days later while attempting to break into their vehicles parked behind the left-over wreckage they once called home, leading the Bashams to believe the fire was caused by arsonists. They also claim their home wasn’t the first in that area to catch fire. Two other homes near the Basham’s residence at 1745 Hobbs Reesor Road have caught fire in the last year, an abandoned trailer next door and a rebuilt home across the street. The Basham’s also showed signs that their home may have been forcefully entered

A pleasure boat collided with a barge on the Ohio River Monday night. The boaters were taken to the dock at Otter Creek Park.
Boaters escape collission with barge Staff Report Two boaters on the Ohio River narrowly escaped injury, or possibly worse, when a barge collided with their pleasure boat just off the Otter Creek Park boat ramp Monday night. The two boaters, both of Shepherdsville, departed from a boat ramp at West Point a few miles away and were water skiing when they noticed the approaching barge around 7 p.m., according to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, which is investigating the accident. The boat’s owner, Veech Sweeney, and an unknown passenger saw the barge heading their way and attempted to move the boat, but with ill-fated luck. Attempts to contact Veech were unsuccessful. “The boat’s operator stopped to get the skier back in the boat, but the boat stalled and they were in the way of the barge,” said Sgt. Myra Minton, of Fish and Wildlife, who was at the scene. “The boaters jumped from the boat before the barge struck the rear end.” The barge’s crew deployed a workboat to retrieve the stranded boaters and also was able to tie the partiallycapsized boat to the barge and eventually secured it to the Otter Creek boat ramp. The accident is still under investigation.
State aims to steer students in right direction New legislation could prevent students from receiving licenses By Felicia Thompson editor@thenewsstandard.com A new law was put into effect Wednesday that will push 16- and 17-year-olds to do well in school. The law can revoke drivers licenses and temporary permits or prevent students from ob-
taining them. Previously ruled unconstitutional in 2003, this new regulation has been reformed and passed as the No Pass/ No Drive Law. It mandates that any driver who receives a license or permit after August 1, 2007 must receive passing credit for at least
four courses, have less than nine unexcused absences and be currently enrolled in high school (or an equivalent alternative school) to keep or receive their license. Students wanting to obtain their license or permit must now bring a schoolissued compliance verification form and a parental consent form to receive their full or intermediate license or driver’s permit. Bill Nighbert, Kentucky’s
Transportation Cabinet Secretary, supports the new legislation but doesn’t think it will be well-received among students. “I’m sure this will not be a popular law with some students, but education serves as a foundation for success in life,” says Nighbert. “If this measure keeps kids in school then the extra work involved for the Transportation Cabinet, Department of Education and school dis-
tricts will be worth it. Part of the process of becoming an adult includes accepting responsibility for your actions and this law holds teenagers accountable.” If a student becomes academically deficient, schools must notify the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The license or permit will be revoked until the student becomes compliant with the

New traffic patterns aim to minimize congestion Staff report Due to recent renovations at the high school and with the opening of the James R. Allen Freshman Academy, new traffic flow patterns have been established at the campuses and will be implemented beginning August 14. Every MCHS student household will receive a written notice and map in the mail before the start of the new school year. Information will also be provided at the Freshman Orientation held on August 9. “The new pattern is designed to eliminate frustration on the first day of school,” said MCHS Vice Principal David Dailey. The changes will hopefully reduce congestion, frustration and confusion and will also provide safer pick-up and drop-off locations for students. Beginning August 14, morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up times for all MCHS students will take place between the JRA Freshman Academy and the south end of the high school. Drivers will be
instructed to drop-off their students in groups of four or five cars. Once the student exits, the driver will wait to be released with the other cars as a group. Afternoon pick-up will begin at 3:10 p.m., after all bus traffic clears the area. Drivers may enter the JRA Freshmen Academy campus via Bland Street and then veer right around the school building. For access to the Red and Green Lots, drivers should enter through the center access point on Old State Road. For entrance to the Gold Lot, drivers will need to enter through an access point on Greer Street. Drivers may leave JRA Freshman Academy via an exit onto Bland Street or Greer Street. When leaving the Red Lot, drivers should exit onto Old State Road. The exit from the Green Lot will lead onto Old State Road. Traffic exiting the Gold Lot will turn onto Greer Street, then Old State Road. For further information about the new traffic patterns, call the school board at 422-7515.

Doe Run Inn offers peace, quiet and history Editor’s note: This is the second part of a four-part series focusing on historical locations in Meade County. The third part will run Sept. 7. By Betsy Simon news@thenewsstandard.com The hustle and bustle of city life can take a toll on the body and mind and leave people longing for the peace and serenity of a quiet, country life. Traffic-lined streets and the buzz of car horns are a stark contradiction to the calm, serene scenery that surrounds Brandenburg’s Doe Run Inn. The peaceful getaway has kept locals and out-of-towners coming back for decades. “The most common word I hear people use to describe it here is ‘peaceful,’” said Cherie Whitman, who’s family has managed the Inn for six generations. “I think all of the history here is what keeps people coming back.” The story of Doe Run Inn can be traced back to the late 1700s when American Indians discovered a stream and

Indians named the creek what translates in English to “doe run.” Over the years, people began migrating to the area and establishing homes and businesses.
The Inn was built in 1821 but was originally used as a water-powered mill. The mill began facing competition from several other mills in the area, causing it to eventually go out of business. It then was used as a barn until
Doe Run Inn has an elaborate history that can be traced back to the late eighteenth century. It has offered patrons a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery for years.
years later when it was transformed into the Sulfur Wells Hotel, a summertime family resort. The name and identity of the hotel changed again around 1947, when a new owner took over and turned the summer resort into a traditional hotel and restaurant. Nearly 10 years later, the hotel became known as Doe Run Inn. Today, the Inn is open all-year-round. Though the names and uses of the building have changed over time, the serenity and history of the Inn are what keeps people flocking to the area centuries later. Local residents like Jan Williamson of New Albany and her friend Fran Toler of Brandenburg recently gathered at Doe Run Inn for an afternoon lunch, where they sat in the dining area that overlooks the peaceful landscape and creek. “We came here to celebrate our friendship,” Williamson said. “The view here is just great and we’ve come here many times to spend the afternoon together.” The signs along state Route
448 leading to Doe Run Inn had been catching the eye of Louisville resident John Thompson. He has been driving pass the signs for years and finally decided to stop in for lunch with his wife, Barbara. Between the scenery and great food, John Thompson said he would be back again, probably the following day to share a enjoyable afternoon with his father. “I’ve been driving pass the signs for this place for 25 years,” John Thompson said. “This is about a 40 mile trip for us, but there’s a nice, relaxing atmosphere here and I’ll come back.” While many people go to spend a quiet afternoon eating lunch with friends and family, Doe Run Inn has become the temporary home for Denise McClure and Andy Morroy, who are relocating to the area from South Korea. The Inn has 12 overnight rooms and offers a lot of comfort for weary travelers. “We found this place on the Internet and thought it looked like an interesting place to stay while we look
for somewhere to live,” McClure said, as the couple took a tour of the lower level of the Inn, where they were able to view one of the old mills. Residents can still find many of the Inn’s original structures, such as the mill. Whitman said the one-hundred-year-old features of the Inn are unique and she does not anticipate making any changes to the Inn that would jeopardize the history. “We’ll probably try to increase the porch size and summer seating around the creek, but everything else will probably remain pretty much the same,” she said. Whitman and her husband, Ken, live in a cabin by the Inn with their two children, Alexandra, 9, and Austin, 6. The family loves living there and enjoys operating Doe Run Inn. She plans to keep the Inn running for as long as possible. “The inside has changed from time to time, but most things are the same and will probably stay that way,” Whitman said. “(Doe Run Inn) has been here for so long that I don’t foresee us ever leaving.” For more information about Doe Run Inn and its overnight rooms, dining services or private party facilities, please call 270-422-2982.
Doe Run Inn has welcomed visitors through its doors for centuries.

law, for the most part, is a good idea. “If students’ grades are low because they don’t turn in makeup work or they never show up for class, how are they going to become productive citizens later when they show no work ethic now?� she asked. “People who try harder in school are very likely going to be better, more responsible drivers

Solid Waste bid rejections is still progress
A
fter eight months of Meade County officials contemplating and working diligently toward contracting out trash collection, things ended anti-climatically on Tuesday when magistrates decided not to decide — yet. Spurred by legal concerns, Fiscal Court voted unanimously to reject all bids and to begin the bidding process all over again. And while the decision to do so will inevitably delay handing over trash collection to a contractor by Oct. 1, as previously planned, the decision in no way should be considered regression when looking at the big picture. Sealed bids from five garbage collection companies were opened several weeks ago but one contractor, Red River, misinterpreted the bid package and submitted a newer, lower bid after all the bids had been made public — creating a legal quagmire for county officials to sort out. Rather than accept a bid and open itself to possible legal action, Solid Waste advisory board members decided legal counseling was needed before progressing forward and accepting a bid package — and members of Fiscal Court agreed. But the delay in selecting a contractor is not a set back, but instead is a sign of progression. Deciding not to select a contractor shows the kind of precaution and forward-thinking residents should expect from their elected leaders. Making a decision on Tuesday very well could have meant making a bad, and possibly costly, choice somewhere down the road. It also proves the newly-created advisory board has the necessary wisdom and foresight to counsel magistrates when making such decisions. The same type of preemptive decision-making demonstrated by Fiscal Court, the advisory committee and Solid Waste Coordinator Mark Gossett this week could have spared county officials and residents numerous headaches in the past — including the decision to enter the solid waste business in the first place. When asked if the county can afford to delay a decision three more months, Magistrate Tom Goddard replied with another question: “Can the county afford to make a bad business decision?” In Goddard’s question lies the answer. The county can’t take the chance of landing itself in a legal battle. By not making a decision now officials can ensure a correct (and legal) choice is made at a later time.
GA hopes to lure coal company FRANKFORT – As many of you know by now, leaders of the state House and Senate resolved many of their differences last week regarding the special legislative session that Gov. Ernie Fletcher called on July 5. Barring any roadblocks, then, the General Assembly is now set to adopt a farreaching energy proposal in mid-August that should lure a $3 billion dollar coalto-natural gas plant to Kentucky. The breakthrough came in a meeting last Wednesday that was set up by House leaders, with Gov. Fletcher, Senate leaders and other state officials attending. Peabody Energy’s CEO and another leading company official gave strong assurances that they would support Kentucky as the sole location for a study to determine the feasibility of the natural gas plant. That study is expected to be complete by next year. Assuming it becomes law, the solution legislators will consider will give Kentucky

Priority Group 8 still in limbo If you applied to the Veterans Affairs department for health care and were given a Priority Group 8 rating, on the surface that means you’re probably doing pretty good: decent health and decent income. Those are the two parameters by which they determine whether you get that rating: no service-connected illness and adequate income. Below the surface, however, maybe things aren’t so good. There are both a financial means test and a geographic test, and if you live in an expensive area perhaps you aren’t doing that well after all. As for health, we learned a long time ago that certain problems, like the impact of Agent Orange, can take years to surface. The House Veterans Af-

Freddy Groves Veterans Post fairs Committee held a meeting on Priority Group 8 membership, wherein it considered lifting the 2003 ban against treating Group 8 veterans. According to a survey, there are 1 million Group 8 veterans waiting to enroll. Meanwhile, next year’s VA budget passed in the House of Representatives with $6.7 billion more than this year, and the bill went to the Senate. Here’s how some of that money is earmarked: Medical Services: $28.9 billion, $3.4 billion more than the 2007 budget; VA Health Administration: $37.1 billion, up $4.4 billion over 2007; Mental Health and Sub-
stance Abuse: $2.9 billion, up $100 million from 2007.

Selling society's 'silent-do-gooder' By Betsy Simon news@thenewsstandard.com The world is full of unexpected events. People try their best to prevent unforeseen incidents, like car accidents or home fires, but sometimes the inevitable will happen. In an effort to give people reassurance when unexpected disasters occur, Brandenburg resident Rita Moore has established her own American National Insurance Agency to help area residents stay a step ahead of life’s surprises. “I’m a firm believer in insurance coverage of all types because it keeps people from losing everything they have,” she said. “Most people complain about having to pay for insurance, but when it boils down to it, insurance is one of the best things people can have.” Moore, who has worked in the insurance industry for 21 years, has been with the American National Insurance Company for the last seven years and recently opened a new office in Brandenburg to house her agency. “I started out in the industry working part-time with Breckinridge Insurance,” she said. “I’ve tried working in other industries, but I just like this line of work.” Moore said she decided to take over as the owner of her own agency because she likes being her own boss. “I work best for myself and always have,” she said. “I guess it has to do with the independence my parents taught me.” In the middle of June, Moore moved her agency to its new location at 610 High Street in Brandenburg in the hopes of taking it all the way to the top. She said the growth of the business could lead her to someday hire another agent. “It’s been really exciting to move in here,” Moore said. “The agency has expanded and I wanted a bigger place because I’m in this for the
The Apple iPhone came out recently, and within hours the scam artists were up and running. The very next day, a fast check of iPhones on one of the major online auctions sites netted 10,701 listings. Considering what it costs, you really have to wonder about the auctions that offer an iPhone for a starting bid of 1 cent. Or the one that was auctioning off envelopes containing “chances” to win an iPhone. One entrepreneur was even selling the bottles of water that were handed out while people waited in line. Somehow that inexpensive water might be a better deal than bidding on a fuzzy photo of what might or might not be a real iPhone. Try as they might, the online auction companies can’t find and remove every scam listing that’s placed on their

Rita Moore, owner of American National Insurance Agency in Brandenburg, spends time talking with a customer on the phone at her office. long haul.” Her agency provides automobile, home, life, commercial, healthcare and farm coverage for residents throughout the state of Kentucky, but Moore said she had to build her business from the ground up. “I had zero customers when I started the agency, but it has really taken off and now I insure people from all over the state,” she said. “It would be hard to say exactly how many customers I have, but I definitely have more than I started with.” People tend to want to do what is best for their families, and Moore said that is one of her favorite things about the insurance business. “I know all about my customers, about their grandkids and their lives, and that’s why I like this business so much,” she said. “My customers are good to me.” While Moore has surrounded herself with faithful clientele, she also has the dedication of her one employee, Kristin Barger, the agency’s customer service representative. “The best part of the job is dealing with the customers,” Barger said. “I’m a peo-
ple person.” Barger has been with the agency since March 2007 and comes to the company with prior insurance experience. Barger said she constantly receives feedback about the quality service customers have received at the agency. “I hear a lot of people say that Rita (Moore) takes good care of them,” she said. “We treat the customers like family because you get to know everyone that walks through the door.” But the service and goodwill provided at the agency hardly ever stops at the door. Moore said the insurance business is difficult to separate from, even after business hours. “It’s hard to go places without people coming up and asking about their policies or having other questions, but I love my job,” she said. “It’s not as exciting as being a doctor, but I like to think of insurance work as society’s ‘silent-do-gooder’.” For more information on Rita Moore’s American National Insurance Agency in Brandenburg, call 422-7200 or stop into the office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Don't get scammed by online auctions By David Uffington Dollars and Sense

site. But there are things you can do to minimize your chances of paying for something you don’t get. • Check the seller’s history. If the seller has only auctioned off three items, that’s not much of a track record. Stick with listers who’ve been in business quite a while. • Read the feedback comments from previous buyers. There’s always the chance of an unhappy bidder leaving a snide comment, but check the overall percentage rate of happy customers. • Get the seller’s name and address, in case of a problem later. • Know what you’re buying. Ask questions (and save those e-mails). Ask for better photos if you can’t see the item clearly. Long-time listers typically only show excellent photos. • Know when to stop. If the bidding on an item suddenly runs hot, don’t take
that to mean that you have a lot of competitors wanting the same item. It could be the lister’s friends who are running up the bid price. • Don’t pay cash. Use Paypal or a similar service. • Think about what you’re buying. If the bid is for a first edition book that you know to be quite valuable, yet the seller has started the bidding at 99 cents, think twice. • Deal only on auction sites that offer some kind of help or guarantee if something goes wrong. Been scammed? Call the police in the seller’s area and make a report. Notify the auction site, then call the FTC at 877-382-4357. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Livestock showdown
We offer some of the best deals around.
Dozens of sheep and goat handlers participated in the livestock shows at the Meade County Fair. Handlers reset their animal’s legs and straightened their backs, pushing for good posture as the judges observed both the stock’s and handler’s behavior. In addition to presenting their animals, the handlers also had to stay mentally sharp answering the judges’ questions about the health and history of their stock.

Community gardening a good way to grow plants, friendships By Jeff Franklin UK College of Agriculture MIDDLESBORO, Ky. — There is a belief in Bell County that if a person has a good thing going, they should share that idea with others. That’s just what’s happening with a community organic gardening project. Extension agents from the Bell County Cooperative Extension Service have tapped into one of their volunteer leaders to help facilitate the project. Pat Biggerstaff, a selftaught organic farmer, is a firm believer in the raisedbed garden concept. She lives in Middlesboro and has approximately 40 raised beds on a corner lot where she grows a variety of produce including fruit trees. The 4-foot-by-10-foot beds are equal to 50 or 60 feet of a field row. Because of her success with raised beds, she is taking the concept to others with the help of the Bell County Extension Service. “What we are trying to do is bring folks into Pat’s place, do an educational program through the extension office and try to get people to go out and garden on their own,” said Stacy White, University of Kentucky extension agent for agriculture and natural resources in Bell County. “We have been doing that for two or three years now.” This year the program has really taken off, with several people starting raised-bed gardens in their backyards in Bell County and nearby
communities in bordering Tennessee. “I know for a fact that there is a garden in New Tazewell, Tenn.; there is one in Harrogate, Tenn.; there is one over in Speedwell, Tenn. and there is even one across the street from me,” Biggerstaff said. Part of that widespread success is attributed to Biggerstaff’s organic gardening column which appears in many local newspapers. Bell County extension personnel and Biggerstaff are proud of the raised-bed gardens they helped start at the Ferndale Housing Project in Pineville this spring. With the help of the project’s maintenance staff, they put in three beds that have yielded onions, beans and soon tomatoes. In a fourth bed, started with some left over dirt from the first two beds, residents planted cucumbers and squash. Ferndale resident Sharon Jenkins is excited about the garden and is learning from Biggerstaff and others in the Bell County extension office. “It gives us something to talk about,” Jenkins said. “It’s just really been a boost here, it’s been wonderful.” The project has been a team effort in the Bell County Extension office. Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program assistants Gail Brock and Brenda Harris have worked together to teach people about good nutrition and cooking classes. Rebecca Sharp, Bell County
extension agent for family and consumer sciences, plans to teach canning classes as more produce is harvested. Biggerstaff believes people of her generation should pass the knowledge of gardening on before it becomes a lost art and that is what she is trying to do with willing participants. “We have just got to pass this word on now while we can and we are here to do it,” Biggerstaff said. An example of willing participants is Blaine Boatright and his son Daniel, who put in one raised bed in the backyard of their Middlesboro home. It was their first attempt at gardening, and they have successfully grown green beans, which they have already enjoyed. The Boatrights also have three tomato plants growing in an old tire in their front yard. Blaine Boatright said he would not have gotten into gardening without Biggerstaff’s encouragement. “The beans have been mighty tasty and we look forward to having tomatoes,” he said. White said the extension service purchased plants that Biggerstaff started for the project at her home in a greenhouse. Seed and other plants also were donated. “We couldn’t do this without Pat,” White said. “She’s got the know-how and she has done it forever, and she’s willing to give her knowledge to anybody and everybody that comes along.”

Faith & Values
Offer advice, not criticism, to parents QUESTION: I have a friend whose children drive me crazy. They are the most undisciplined brats I’ve ever seen. We can’t even talk when they are around. I would love to help my friend with a few disciplinary tips. How can I do this without offending her? DR. DOBSON: When you want to point out a flaw or shortcoming in someone else’s behavior or character, you do it the way porcupines make love: very, very carefully. Otherwise, you’re likely to lose a friend. Pointing out parenting mistakes in others is even riskier. You’re liable to get your ears pinned back for trying it - even when your motives are honorable and you have a child’s interest at heart. That’s why I never offer unsolicited advice about other people’s children, no matter how badly I think it is needed. If you insist on telling the other mother what she doesn’t want to hear, let me suggest that you first invest some time and effort in your
friend. When a relationship of confidence has been carefully constructed, you’ll have earned the right to offer her some gentle advice. There are no shortcuts to this process. QUESTION: If it is natural for a toddler to break all the rules, should he be disciplined for routine misbehavior? DR. DOBSON: Everything depends on how misbehavior is defined. Toddlers get in trouble most frequently because of their natural desire to touch, bite, taste, smell and break everything within their grasp. However, this “reaching out” behavior is a valuable means of learning and should not be inhibited. I have seen parents punish their 2-year-olds throughout the day for simply investigating their world. This squelching of normal curiosity is not fair to the youngster.

Faith gives you reasons to not quit “I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak his name no more. But then it becomes like a fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.” — Jeremiah 20:9 I love stories about great saints who get so fed up with God that they finally “let him have it!” One of my favorites is about Saint Theresa of Avila, maybe the greatest woman mystic of our church. She traveled around Spain, trying to reform the convents of her order that badly needed renewal. It was her practice to go to the chapel before one of these long and arduous trips to pray for a safe trip. After one such trip, when everything that could go wrong did go wrong, she stormed
into the chapel and yelled, of the abuse, he is steaming “Listen, God, if this is the with frustration! “Listen, way you treat your friends, God, you sweet-talked me no wonder you have so into this job and then you abandoned me!

marriage, quit his job or quit being a parent? It is easy to be ordained, fun to go through a first mass, exciting to get your first parish but one doesn’t really decide to be a priest until he hits one of those darkest moments. It is then that one really chooses priesthood. It is easy to be married, when you are “in love,” when everything is exciting, but one really makes the decision to be married when the honeymoon is over, when you face a crisis in your marriage. It is then that you either commit or run. As Jeremiah discovered, you don’t answer a call once, but over and over and over and over again! You don’t just say “I do” once, but “I do” again and again, especially in those dark and confusing times!

Even the poor can be rich When my children were small they would sometimes say to one another they would like to be rich. I always took that opportunity to ask them to explain what being rich means. I would ask them “What is rich”? Usually they would talk about having lots of money, big houses, and expensive cars. I explained to them that riches means much, much more than that. Here is a story with a different twist. A wealthy dad tries to teach his son a lesson in being poor. It didn’t work out the way the Dad hoped. One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return trip the
father asked his son, “How buy our food, but they grow theirs.

review the paperwork in question and should be able to provide legal counsel in about 10 days. Van Noe said she would also have to look into possible legal concerns if solid waste collection was re-bid and a new bidder, not one of the original five, was awarded the contract. “If someone new came in and submitted what ended up becoming the winning bid, I don’t know if (the current contractors) would have a valid grievance,” she said. Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said the current method of trash collection, and monthly billing rate of $12.50, will continue until January 2008 when he hopes a contractor will be selected. He estimated that Solid Waste can financially stay in the black “under close scrutiny” until that time. He said an emergency rate increase is not expected. Members of Fiscal Court were hoping to have a contractor selected and ready to begin Oct. 1 of this year when the county’s solid waste five-year-plan is due to Frankfort. The five-year-
plan outlines the county’s goals, rates and policies. Gossett said after speaking with officials in Frankfort that the five-year-plan can be submitted and an amendment can be made later when a contractor is selected. Three of the five bidders were present at Tuesday’s meeting and had their own views on the bidding process. Tim McNally, with Waste Management, said the process was tainted when Red River’s new bid was made. “I thought (the bid process) was very clear,” he said. “The process has been skewed already. You need to, in fairness to everyone and yourself, redo this. You need to make a determination based on what your attorney says can or can’t be done. But, as it stands right now, we expect something to be redone or else nothing should have been brought up in the beginning.” However, representatives from Red River in attendance disagreed with the clarity of which party was stuck with unpaid trash bills. “It was ambiguous. It wasn’t 100 percent accurate,” said David Cooper, Red River director of business development. The third contractor present was Fred Collins, re-
gional director for Inland Service Corporation. All the contractors did agree on one thing — a prebid conference should be held to clarify the bid package before the next batch of bids is submitted. Magistrates agreed with the idea and will schedule the conference, although a date has not been set. Contractors also said they will need about 30 days to resubmit bids, but several said their bids were unlikely to change. The meeting did help to answer some of the magistrates’ questions about employing current workers and why some contractors decided not to bid on taking over billing. Each contractor individually expressed interest in hiring currently employed drivers and tippers and some discussed the possibilities of purchasing equipment, trash bins and leasing Solid Waste’s garage. None of the contractors, however, seemed eager to take over billing and the estimated seven to 10 percent bad debt that comes along with it. “You know what kind of bad debt is out there, but I don’t know what kind of bad debt is out there,” McNally said, adding that his bid for trash collection and billing would “never
Friday, August 3, 2007
be accepted” by the county because it would be in the mid-$20 range. The financial hazards of handling billing and nonpayments is one area McNally and Cooper agreed on. “We’re in the business to make money, not lose money,” Cooper said. “And we understand it’s very difficult to predict those costs, or loses. Trash is a health and safety issue and if it’s not picked up you have a health and safety hazard. And people somehow have to be forced to pay that.” Collins said some counties currently under a contract with Inland have a policy where after 45 days
services are discontinued, but trash collection is mandatory in Meade County and discontinuing services is not an option. Even if residents refuse to pay their trash is still collected each week.
Collection of money owed has improved in the past several months. Fiscal Court intends to readvertise the bid contracts but does not expect the process to take as long the second time around.

LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY
THE NEWS STANDARD/CHARLES L. WESTMORELAND
An abandoned home next to William H. and Joyce Basham’s house on Hobbs Reesor Road burned down more than a year ago. William said the house did not have electricity when it burned down. Another home across the street caught fire the same night, he said. A Flaherty firefighter confirmed there had been several fires in the area but specific dates of the fires could not be obtained.
Fire
The back door of the Basham’s home appeared to have pry marks near the latch. State Fire Marshal Chris Crawford is investigating the incident.
from Page A1
Kerrick said there is a “person of interest” his department is trying to locate in connection to the criminal mischief Monday night. Currently there are not arson charges as the fire is still under investigation. “(The person of interest) hasn’t been brought in yet,” he said. “I’d say in the next few days he will be located. Right now, he’s just involved with what happened (Monday) night, not the fires. We can’t make accusations when the fire marshal hasn’t finished his investigation.” The Basham residence had two surveillance cameras monitoring the back of the house. One camera was mounted below the gutter and another was stationed on top of a vehicle in the garage. He said the camera in the garage was concealed and repositioned the night of the fire and the VCR recording surveillance was stolen along with a television and an automatic pistol. “I think Saturday their intention was to break into my truck but then they spotted the camera and realized they were in trouble,” he said. William said he found the surveillance tape on the living room floor among other incinerated possessions. State Fire Marshall Chris Crawford, who is investigating the fire, said he noticed some marks on the back door that could mean forced entry, but that more time is needed to investigate the scene before a cause of the fire can be determined. “All I can say right now is that they have had a fire and it is under investigation at this time, and we are still currently investigating the cause,” he said. “There were some pry marks on the rear door but I was unable to determine if that was new or old. Crawford said the inves-
tigation could take a while and that each investigation scene is different, but because there is not a statute of limitations for arson it is important he doesn’t rush the investigation. “Fire destroys everything, and that makes it very hard to put together the crime scene and to put all the pieces together.” Crawford said he was not the investigator of any of the other fires in the area, however, a Flaherty firefighter said he recalled the two fires last year in the area. William said a fourth home nearby burned down about four years ago, leading him to believe they are
all somehow connected. Investigation reports regarding the other house fires on Hobbs Reesor Road could not be obtained prior to going to print. Flaherty Fire Chief Alan Sipes said his department does not have the technology to track where all the fires in his district occur. William and Joyce Basham are offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the apprehension of the suspects who they believe caused the house fire. Anyone with information that could aid the Sheriff’s Department should call the anonymous tip line at 422 HOPE (4673).

Cliff Darnell, of Mt. Washington, takes aim at a deer target during the shoot. By Shaun T. Cox sports@thenewsstandard.com The Meade County Fair’s 3-D Archery shoot had a much better turnout than organizer Jason Sutton anticipated after rain soaked the fairgrounds last Friday. “This is our third year for the shoot and last year the weather was better and we had 104 shooters,” he said Saturday morning. “This year with the rain, we’ll probably be cut in half and if we get 50 or 60 guys, we’ll be lucky with all the mud and rain. Sutton was way off, as 116 archers showed up to shoot that soggy Saturday morning and afternoon. Sutton said a lot of the same people have been coming out to shoot. “We’re excited about it and we’ve had good turnout the last couple of years,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of the same guys come out because they know we put on a good shoot and we get better every year.” Better, indeed, as superintendent Travis Stull said

But, I was hoping it would hold up for one night and it failed on me.” Shelton said his family paid the price because he spent so much time with the car so he was going to treat them with the money he won. “I busted my butt to get it fixed for tonight but my wife and my daughter are the ones who suffered the most,” he said. “I put a lot of hard nights into it. I slept a lot during the day and worked through the nights, so that’s who my winnings are for.” All the drivers agreed the course was in much better shape than during Tuesday’s event when cars were bogged down in the mud and

Phil Cox, from Knoxville, Tenn., pulls in his Breeze Ford in the 4-Wheel Pro Stock Division during Saturday’s KTPA Truck and Tractor Pull. Jeff Sprowl finished first, Nathan LuAllen second and Jonathan Payne third.
Fairgoers who waited all year for the Meade County Fair’s truck and tractor pull events were forced to be patient after last Friday’s event was rained out. It was only the second time in 26 years the event was canceled due to inclement weather. However, spectators were given a double-dose of earth-shaking, brain rattling four-by-four truck action the following day after crews worked diligently to get the track back in shape. “I was disappointed when they canceled the event (Friday) but I knew I’d be back to watch it tonight,” said Amanda Carlisle, 24, of Brandenburg. “Listening to the roar of the trucks and screams of the crowd makes it an awesome and really exciting event to watch.” Fair Coordinator David Pace said he wasn’t concerned when the pull
was canceled late Friday night. The pull was canceled about two hours after it was scheduled to start when a second, heavier downpour began. “I learned years ago you can’t worry about Mother Nature,” Pace said. “I don’t know if the (truck and tractor pull) is our biggest event, because the demolition derbies do well, but it does attract one of the largest crowds.” Pace said the track could have been destroyed entirely if the track wasn’t dry enough and it could have prevented other competitions from happening. Luckily, the track was ready Saturday as thousands of spectators lined the arena, while nearly 80 trucks and tractors competed for bragging rights and trophies. “The track was a whole lot better than it looked last night,” said Jeff

like you said, the seventh time I guess we’ve had back-to-back wins. It just seems this time of year when the tracks get hot and slippery (we do well).” And Stewart is starting to look eerily like the Stewart who won NASCAR championships in both 2002 and 2005.

Jarrett Stone competes in the barrel race Saturday. There were four classes of racers. Staff Report sports@thenewsstandard.com The 4-wheel rodeo was one of the more exciting events to take place Saturday morning at the Meade County Fair. A day of rain on Friday made for a course that was wet, wild and muddy. “The course is a challenge,” three-year veteran Brian Kent said. “It’s slick but it’s fun and the barrel race is my favorite.” Announcer Melissa Allen said the barrel race was just one of four events. “We have events for children age six all the way up to adults,” she said. “The first race is the barrel race. They run through the barrels and you take the best of their two times. Then there’s an egg race and

it’s an obstacle course you drive through while trying to keep an egg on a spoon. “We also have a boot race, where you take off one boot and we hide it in some straw. They have to then find it and race back. Finally, we let them run through the mud and it’s a timed event, too.” Allen said the 4-wheel rodeo has been a fixture at the fair for a few years now, and the top finishers win trophies. “It’s been going on for four or five years and we get more and more bikes every year,” she said. “You get five points for first place, three for second and one for third. First, second and third in each division wins a trophy, and then the person who gets the most points throughout gets the grand champion trophy.”

I didn’t really realize I had a good shot until I was in the final three. That’s when I started to get pretty excited about it.” Shelton’s car had the name of a local woman, Theresa Martin, painted on the side. Martin was killed a couple of months ago in an accident and Shelton said she was a special person who is missed by a lot of people here in the county. “I dedicate this to Theresa Martin,” he said. “She was an EMT that passed away this past spring in a car wreck. I know a lot of people around here that loved and supported her — especially her family.”

During Mofield’s time as head coach, Meade County has gone 17-18 overall and won its first district title last year with a 14-6 playoff win at John Hardin High School. The 2007 season opener is Aug. 24 at home against Fern Creek High School. Mofield recently sat down with The News Standard to discuss a variety of topics on the upcoming season. This is the first part in a series. For a full season preview of all fall sports, check your mailbox next week for The News Standard Fall Sports Preview. Question: What are your initial thoughts looking toward this season? Answer: Just like any new year, I’m excited. We’ve got a good group of kids coming back and some experience coming back, particularly on offense. We have potentially seven or eight returning starters on offense. But on the flip side, our defense will be a little in-

You can one. start your season rough and Question: Talk about this it’s because you’re playing said he was pleased with his distance of 276.17 feet, had no complaints about the track conditions and said he prefers participating at the Meade County Fair’s arena. “I think it’s a really good track and it looked much better today than I thought it would be,” he said. “The track is just about right.” Sprowl and LuAllen, along with third place finisher Jonathan Payne, 27, of Georgetown, Ind., are regu-
lar competitors each year. LuAllen has competed in the fair’s pull for the past 10 years, winning the competition from 2000 through 2003. The three men also will compete at the Harrison County Fair in Corydon, Ind. this week. Two local men also found success during the tractor pull last week. Larry Phillips finished first place in his tractor pull class and David Burnett finished second.
year’s senior class a little bit. What do you expect from them from a leadership standpoint and how do you think their experience during last year’s playoff run will help this team? Answer: I’m hoping that they learned a lot from last year’s senior group. The thing about that group is they weren’t the most talented bunch, but they got to a point in their careers that they were tired of getting beat and they decided that it was almost over so they really kicked it up a notch. They played hard and they played to the best of their ability and I think they got the most out of their ability. Anytime you’ve got kids that do that, that’s all you can ask. This year’s group is pretty talented in certain aspects. If you don’t work hard and if you don’t have any leadership and chemistry, then you don’t have very much. I don’t care what kind of talent you have. Those are the things that we’ll really have to find and hope that we can get. Question: Now let’s talk
about some of the guys from the junior and sophomore classes that you think will really be able to step up and contribute. Who’s a name that we’ll be talking about this year that maybe no one has really heard yet? Answer: There are a couple of kids in the sophomore class that could be impact players for us and one is Tommy Arnold. He’s a tough kid and he’s gifted athletically. He’s a kid that could start as a corner back, at running back and he could play on all special teams because I think he’ll hit you and he’s athletic enough. The thing is, you have to be careful when starting sophomores. You can start them in one aspect of the game — offense, defense or special teams. If you start asking them to play in three different capacities, you’re going to overload them. The other guy is Brandon Kenealy, an offensive and defensive lineman. He’s a little undersized right now but his work ethic is unbelievable and he reminds me a lot of Levi Ray. You’ve got to run him out of the
weight room and usually, I’m the last one out of there and I have to round him up because his parents are waiting for him 15 or 20 minutes. Anytime you see that from a kid you know they’ve got that will to succeed, it’s going to be tough to keep them off the field because they work themselves into a spot somewhere. Junior-wise, I think Anthony Roulas is a kid that has some size for us and he’s got good feet. He’s a good kid that you hardly know is around because he never causes trouble. He could potentially start for us on either line. Another junior that may see some playing time is Michael Addesa at wide receiver. He’s shown to have good hands during 7-on-7 and that’s an area where we lost Drew Stankiewicz, Brandon Dunn, Gary Rhea and Josh Stinnett from last year’s team. We’ve got Daniel Allen coming back at one wide out spot but that other spot is open and I think Michael is a guy that can play there along with some other seniors.

One white tail buck and two does run through a stream. in order to distribute deer more evenly throughout the state. This zone system, which uses varying seasons and bag limits to concentrate or disperse hunters, is still in use today. Additionally, computer modeling of the deer population began in 1986 and helped establish more refined criteria for harvest manipulation. Once the herd became well established across the state, KDFWR began managing the herd for quality. In 1989, the state restricted rifle hunters to one buck. Two years later, bow hunters received the same restrictions. Deer tags were also sold in pairs: one either-sex and one antlerless only. This not only restricted hunters to one buck, but also encouraged them to harvest more does. By the late 1990s, biologists realized that, while hunters were still taking good bucks, the number of deer in the population continued to skyrocket. Fearing that the herd would soon reach carrying capacity and decrease in quality, they responded by increasing the length of the antlerless season in order to increase doe harvest. In 1998, additional bonus antlerless tags were made available to further encourage the taking of antlerless deer. In this same season, bonus quota hunt tags were created to allow hunters to take deer on wildlife management area quota hunts without using their statewide tags. Some habits die hard, so an effort to convince hunters to harvest more does, and to
provide them with the adequate tags and season length to do so continues today. For the 2000-2001 season, unlimited antlerless tags were made available to hunters in counties that are reaching or have exceeded carrying capacity. If populations in these counties are not brought under control, then the quality of deer found there will decline. The season length for antlerless deer has also been increased. Modern firearms season for most counties now runs from mid-November through Thanksgiving weekend (16 days). Either-sex hunting is allowed the first 10 days, but during the last 6 days, hunting is for antlerless deer only. Although stabilization of the deer herd is the goal in the Purchase, Green River, and Bluegrass regions of Kentucky, seasons have also been liberalized in the eastern part of the state. Archers and youth hunters in all of the southeastern counties can now harvest antlerless deer. While the herd in this region needs continued growth, that growth must be manageable. All of the hard work by KDFWR has paid huge benefits for deer hunters across the Bluegrass State. Kentucky has one of the best ratios for Boone and Crockett deer per percentage of deer carrying habitat. As we enter the woods this fall, maybe we should reflect a bit on how far the herd has come and be thankful for the opportunities we have.

Dillon wins Wal-Mart bass RVINGTON fishing event on Ohio River I Auto Parts & Service Builder: Gary Hartlage, GLH Company • Home: 270-422-1105 • Cell: 270-945-9045
FLW Outodoors TELL CITY, Ind. (July 30, 2007) — Boater Terry Dillon of Plainfield, Ind., won the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Hoosier Division tournament on the Ohio River Saturday with a four-bass catch weighing 8 pounds, 10 ounces. The victory earned Dillon $3,727 and placed him one step closer to qualifying for the Kentucky Lake Regional Championship in Gilbertsville, Ky., Oct. 18-20, where he could ultimately win a new 519VX Ranger boat and a Chevy truck. Dillon caught his bass flipping a spinnerbait into shallow cover near Deer Creek to win the event. Rounding out the top five boaters were TJ Edwards of Saint Paul, Ind., (three bass, 7-2, $2,193); Aaron Sisk of Evansville, Ind. (three bass, 6-13, $1,463); Stu Moyer of Indianapolis, Ind. (three bass, 6-12, $1,023) and Larry Sisk of Evansville, Ind. (four bass, 6-0, $877). Dillon took home the Boater Division Snickers Big Bass award, earning $620 for a 4-pound, 9-ounce bass. George Osha of Steger, Ill., earned $2,193 as the co-angler winner Saturday thanks to one bass weigh-
ing 4 pounds, 12 ounces that he caught while fishing a black and blue Terminator jig creek mouths and channel cuts. Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Eric Doss of Indianapolis, Ind., (two bass, 4-10, $1,096); Brian Sanders of Orleans, Ind., (three bass, 3-5, $730); John Braun of Cannelton, Ind., (one bass, 3-2, $512); Jim Hippensteel of Rochester, Ind., (one bass, 2-14, $420) and Michael Vertesch of Indianapolis, Ind., (two bass, 2-14, $420). Osha earned $310 as the co-angler Big Bass winner after catching a 4-pound, 12ounce bass. The Hoosier Division’s final event of the regular season will be a two-day Super Tournament held Sept. 8-9 on Patoka Lake in Jasper, Ind. Following the end of regular-season competition, the top 40 boaters and 40 co-anglers based on yearend points standings in the division will advance to the no-entry-fee Kentucky Lake Regional Championship where they will compete against top qualifiers from three other BFL divisions. At the Regional Championship, boaters will fish for a new Ranger boat and Chevy truck and co-anglers
will fish for a new Ranger boat. The top six boaters and top six co-anglers at the Regional Championship will also advance to the 2008 All-American presented by Chevy. With a total purse of $1 million, a potential $140,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and as much as $70,000 going to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in bass fishing. The winning boater and winning co-angler at the AllAmerican also advance to the no-entry-fee $2 million 2008 Forrest Wood Cup. This event, featuring a top award of $1 million, is the sport’s biggest championship. The $8.8 million Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League features 28 divisions nationwide. In BFL competition, boaters and co-anglers are randomly paired. Boaters supply the boat and fish from the front deck against other boaters while co-anglers compete from the back deck against other coanglers. Named after the legendary founder of Ranger Boats, Forrest L. Wood, FLW Outdoors administers
the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, Wal-Mart FLW Series, Stren Series, Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League, Wal-Mart Texas Tournament Trail presented by Abu Garcia, Ranger Owners Tournament Championship Series, Wal-Mart FLW Walleye Tour, Wal-Mart FLW Walleye League, WalMart FLW Kingfish Tour, Wal-Mart FLW Kingfish Series, Wal-Mart FLW Redfish Series and Wal-Mart FLW Striper Series. These circuits will offer combined purses of nearly $43 million through 241 events in 2007. Wal-Mart and many of America’s largest and most respected companies support FLW Outdoors and its tournament trails. Wal-Mart signed on as an FLW Outdoors sponsor in 1997 and today is the world’s leading supporter of tournament fishing. For more information about Wal-Mart, visit Walmart.com.

This Week’s Horoscopes
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A turn in a relationship upsets the amorous Arian, who is puzzled by Cupid’s romantic antics. Be patient and considerate. The confusion will soon sort itself out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for travelloving Taureans to take off for fun-filled jaunts to new places. And don’t be surprised if Cupid tags along for what could be a very eventful trip. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You appear to be of two minds about continuing a relationship that seems to be riding roughshod over your emotions. A frank talk could help you decide one way or the other.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Stepping back from a relationship problem provides a new perspective on how to deal with it. Meanwhile, watch your words. Something said in anger now could backfire later. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A changing situation makes
the Big Cat uneasy. But hold on until things settle down around the 4th. Meanwhile, continue your good work on that still-unfinished project.
tarians. Professional dealings also thrive under the Sag’s clever handling of difficult situations. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Set a realistic goal and follow it through to completion. Remember: You’re more likely to impress the right people with one well-done job than with lots of jobs left undone.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A decided improvement in a work-place situation results in an unexpected, but very welcome, added benefit for everyone. Personal relationships also improve.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You like to plan ahead. That’s fine. But be prepared to make some changes because of an unsettled period that influences your aspects through the 4th.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Money matters remain a bit unsettled but will soon ease into the kind of stability you appreciate. Meanwhile, an expanding social life offers a chance to make new friends.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A brief phase of instability affects your usual work cycle. Use the time to catch up on chores around the house or office. Things settle down soon after the 4th.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Use an unexpected roadblock in your monetary dealings to reassess your financial plans and make changes, if necessary. It will soon be smooth sailing again.
BORN THIS WEEK: You love being the center of attention and would probably be a big success in show business.

officials purchased all-new targets for the shooting range. “As far as the course, we took the money we’ve raised over the last year and we bought 20 new 3-D targets,” he said. “The last couple of years we had to borrow some. I feel like we’ve got a really nice setup.” A nice setup for archers of all ages, according to Stull, who said young kids to middle-age men, participated. “We’ve got everything from kids about 10 up to pro shooters,” he said. “I spoke with two guys a few minutes ago that are going to the Open World (this weekend) and they’re out here to practice for that.” To accommodate such a wide range of participants, there were four different classes of shooters. “Basically, you’ve got four divisions; youth, tra-
ditional — which is more of a longbow — and two compound-bow classes in hunter and open,” Sutton said. “The difference between those two is in the hunter class. The bow has to have fixed pins and a shorter stabilizer, and the open class has longer stabilizers and adjustable sights so you can tune them in a little finer.” All in all, there were 30 targets on the course, which was held at the back of the fairgrounds behind the motocross track. “It’s kind of like a golf course but instead of two nines making 18, you’ve got two 15s that makes 30,” Sutton said. “We’ve got many different kinds of animals; polar bears, deer, boars, raccoons… to make it more like a real hunting situation. The distance is unknown so when they come up, we have a peg in the ground and they have to range the distance themselves. In the NASP, it’s a known range so when the kids shoot indoors they know that it’s 10 meters and 15 meters.” Stull said the distances

Joey Ray, 27, of Flaherty, steadies his bow for a shot into the woods at the target. For the 3-D shoot, archers had to judge the distance of the targets on their own. were different for each class. “Youth class shoots out to 25 yards, traditional is out to 30, bow hunter is out to 35 and open is out to 50, so that’s the maximum distance,” he said. “The youth
may have a target that’s only 10 yards out, but it might be out to 25.” Scoring is determined by a set of rings on different parts of the target bodies. “Your highest score is a 12-ring, and there are 10-,

8- and a 5-ring scores,” Stull said. “Anywhere on the target is worth five and typically your 12-ring targets are about the same size on all your targets — about an inch and a quarter.” Stull said the money taken in from the shoot would be put to good use — back into the county’s NASP program. “Hopefully, we can take the money we make and put it toward our hunting trip raffle like we did last year, to try and make more money for the program,” he said. “The one last year was in Cadiz, Ky., and if they win that hunt, they can actually trade it out for any hunt with the same guide service. They can go on a bear hunt in Canada or in Alaska if they like.”
