Brandenburg landmark to be destroyed By Laura Saylor saylor@thenewsstandard.com
BRANDENBURG — Call it a landmark, call it an eyesore, either way Brandenburg’s giant “golf ball” is being demolished in the coming weeks. The strange, round building has been situated at the intersection of By-Pass road and state Route 448 since the early 1970’s. Meade County resident Jack DaVania purchased the structure from Fort Knox, where it was
originally used as a radar dome on Snow Mountain, behind the substation off Route 60. The fiberglass dome was broken down into sections and transported to Brandenburg. DaVania sold the structure to Alfred Barr and in 1974 the dome was re-assembled in just two weeks. Harold Bailey, of Paynesville, helped re-construct the dome at its present location. “After Jack (DaVania) brought it out here … Alfred (Barr) and I put it together,” Bailey said. Us-
ing a diagram, Bailey and Barr bolted the triangular fiberglass sections together. Stephen Barr, son of Alfred, said that his father’s initial plan was to turn the structure into an office building. “I think he wanted to turn it into a real estate office,” Barr said. The transformation never occurred however. “I think that one reason he didn’t do it is because of the acoustics inside. It

All three organizations will move to the old Wheatley building, after final renovations and cleanups are made. “We will be moving all these entities under one roof to make it easier for people to stop in,” said Brandenburg Mayor David Pace. City council has made a request to the Department of Transportation District Four to have a traffic light installed at the intersection of state Route 228 and state Route 79. The Department of Transportation has not approved the request, however, based on their information that only one accident per year has occurred at the intersection over the last several years.

WALKIN’ THE WALK By the Numbers
By Laura Saylor
Try to imagine the beginning and end of a stranger’s life. Make him blond or redheaded. Give him glasses, a dog, a last name. Give him a birthday, a daughter, a truck, a bad habit. Imagine that stranger is real. Imagine he just died — for you. That stranger is why Damion Maynard is walking across America. A 32-yearold husband and father, Maynard has chosen to walk one mile for every soldier that has died in the Iraq war. Sadly, almost every day he has another mile to walk.
“I try to think about a solider during each mile,” Maynard said. “People are dying … and nobody seems to care anymore. No one remembers the guy had a name.”

Teen’s life returns to normal following transplant Randall Kelley, 15, (left) was donated a kidney by his uncle, John Staub, this summer. Kelley suffered from kidney disease until the transplant operation.
By Betsy Simon news@thenewsstandard.com As school began this week, Meade County High School sophomore Randall Kelley started the year off just like every other high school student. But at this time last year, Kelley’s life was far from normal as the 15-year-old began battling kidney disease. Last August, Kelley began a fight of his life when an ambulance rushed him to Hardin Memorial Hospital after he
unexpectedly broke into a seizure. At the hospital, Kelley’s family was told that he had a genetic kidney disease, which was causing his kidneys to enter shutdown mode. Following the diagnosis, he was transported to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville for treatment. “There’s a lot of Internet research on kidney transplants and diseases,” said Kelley’s aunt, Ronda Staub. “People in our family began doing research and finding out what
we could about both.” Before Kelley’s condition could deteriorate too far, though, a compatible donor was located. Six months following his diagnosis, the hospital began testing the family’s first possible donor, Kelley’s uncle and Brandenburg resident John Staub, who ended up being the only relative doctors needed to check. After passing several tests, including a psychological

School construction projects near completion By Betsy Simon news@thenewsstandard.com The academic year has started for Meade County Schools and the Board of Education discussed the progress of construction projects around the district at its monthly meeting on Tuesday. “We wondered how we would get it all done over the last week and a half, and we’re getting there,� Rodney Pickering, the director of transportation, building and grounds for the schools, said about the construction at the high school and the new elementary school. Following the first day of school this week, the board discussed the development of various projects going on at the high school, as well as the building of Brandenburg Primary, the new elementary
school. Pickering informed the board members that construction at both schools is well-underway and inching closer to completion. “The new classrooms (in the high school) are ready, and the students have good rooms to work out of,� he said. “Now we’re focusing on getting the basketball locker rooms ready.� As for the elementary school, Pickering said the media center should be ready sometime after next Monday, while the school’s gymnasium should be up and running in about three weeks. He said there were people working until late to get the building finished as soon as possible. “We have people working until 11:30 tonight to finish things up soon,� Pickering said. “But the building is safe
for the kids now.� Board member Belinda Cross asked if there would be an open house to invite members of the community into the schools to see the changes, and Pickering said the community would be invited to visit after the renovations are complete. “We want to make sure we have everything done first, but then we’ll probably host a community open house at the schools,� he said. Pickering and the school board also thanked district technology coordinator Jerry Pile and his staff for helping to set up the intelligent classrooms at Brandenburg Primary and Director of Pupil Personnel Jason Sutton for getting the classrooms furnished in time for the first day of class. Crump said he believes the
number of students in the school district might have increased, but the exact enrollment numbers would be available soon. “I think we may be up 40 kids from last year,â€? he said. “But we’ll know more next week after the kindergartens start back to school.â€? Even with all of the new changes in the various school buildings, Crump said there was a smooth transition throughout all of the buildings. “It was almost like school never stopped,â€? he said. “With the changing bus and parent routes, I think everything went as fluidly as it possibly could have‌it was a great start to the year.â€?

The orientation consisted of teacher introductions, a scavenger hunt around the Freshman Academy and high school, as well as a greeting by Meade County High School Principal Bill Adams. “Welcome to Meade County High School,� Adams told the cafeteria filled with freshman. “I am welcoming you to the high school because, like the classes before you, you are also a mem-

Dump truck rolls over, hits bus A dump truck carrying gravel and heading south on Indiana 135 near the Matthew Welch Bridge rolled over and hit a Breckinridge County school bus Aug. 9 around 1 p.m. after the truck’s tire blew out. The school bus did not have students on board at the time of the accident. According to Breckinridge County officials, the bus was heading to Bloomington, Ind. for maintenance. The bus was pinned against the guardrail but did not appear to suffer major damage. The dump truck is owned by Riverton Construction, one of the companies working on the By-Pass expansion in Meade County. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Department worked the accident scene. Neither driver was seriously injured.

evaluation and counseling sessions, Staub donated a kidney to his nephew on June 27. The transplant was a success and now Kelley is living a normal life, just like any other teen, with the exception of medications he must take. “I’m a registered bone marrow donor, and I found out our blood types matched,” John said. “And I just had a feeling that I would be a match, so I wanted to get tested.” Since it is against federal law to buy and sell organs, John did not receive payment for donating his kidney, but he said the payment all donors receive is knowledge that they saved a life. “Seeing a 15-year-old boy live a normal life was the

adjust slowly to the larger environment,” Shapard said. “If you’re not an outward person you can get lost in high school, but this way, the transition won’t be such a huge shock next year.” Many of the freshmen have also taken well to the notion of the Freshman Academy and are looking forward to ruling the halls in their own school. “I like the idea of being separated from the rest of the high school,” freshman Chelsea Dougherty said. “It will be easier to focus, and we don’t have to worry as much about ‘freshman Fridays.’” With a student body of 1,580 people, some students also understand the need for

could get really loud.” Bailey also recalled Alfred Barr’s intentions with the building. “He planned to have an auction gallery in there … make it two stories.

Kelley was on dialysis everyday for 10 months prior to his operation. “When you spend time in a transplant center it humbles you instantly,” John said. “I saw people who had been waiting for organs for a long time and the pain they went through, and I was excited that I could be a match for Randall.” Kelley declined a request for an interview, but his family said he is doing well and living the life of a normal teenager. While Kelley was blessed to receive the transplant he needed, the shortage of donated organs prevents many
recipients from receiving the organs they must have to sustain a normal life. Based on information from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 77 people receive organ transplants every day, but an additional 19 people die daily because the lack of available organs. “The shortage (of donated organs) has become a concern for transplant hospitals,” said Kathy Lincoln, the transplant coordinator at Kosair Children’s Hospital. “But when organs become available certain age groups do receive special consideration.” Lincoln said hospitals try to get organs to kids as soon as possible, particularly those 5 and under or kids who have entered puberty, because “those are the formative years.” Lincoln said kidney transplants are the most common organ transplants, but not usually in children.
the Freshman Academy to help alleviate overcrowding at the high school. “It was realistic to move the freshmen out of the high school because they need more space over there,” freshman Tabitha Priest said. Realistic or not, it isn’t appealing to every student to spend a majority of their day in a different building than the upperclassmen. “I wish we were over in the high school because we won’t meet as many new people when we’re only over in the high school for a class or two every day,” freshman Kelsey McMahan said. “But I’ll make the best of the school year anyway.” Making the most of the year ahead was the overwhelming theme of the orientation, and the teachers hope students will look at their jump into high school as a new beginning. “No matter what you
did in past school years, you should look at this as a fresh start to your academic career,” math teacher Dave Chapman told a group of students. And as the school’s team concept comes into play, the teachers are looking to better guide students through their transition into high school. The students will be divided into three teams of 140 kids with seven teachers, one instructional assistant, two administrators and other supporting staff members on each team. English teacher Josh Hurt said he looks forward to the new method of teaching and hopes the teams will help prevent kids from “falling between the cracks.” “With all of the teachers working together, we’ll help the students to pass every class,” Hurt said. “We’re dedicated to not letting one student fail.”
ask some people who go through if they know where Brandenburg is and they’ll say ‘is that the town with the giant golf ball?’” Bim and fellow Meade Countian Gerry Lynn painted the bottom section of the dome green in 2005 and considered discussing painting ‘welcome to Brandenburg’ on the structure with present-day owner Bill Howard, who also owns the surrounding land. Howard, a former Meade County school teacher and land developer, has owned the structure and lot for several years. The dome, made of a thin fiberglass shell, has withstood decades of foul weather and wear and tear. Holes and cracks are speckled all over the structure.
“Kids used to go inside and throw anything at the top and put holes in it,” Beverly said. “And some of it may be from hail, too.” The exact reason for the Brandenburg dome being demolished isn’t clear, though it is scheduled to be torn down within the week. Howard, the present owner, was unavailable for discussion regarding the dome and surrounding land. “Since no one did anything with it, it got to be an eyesore,” Bailey said about the structure. Hundreds of Meade County residents drive by the dome every day, but there will soon be an empty lot where the Brandenburg icon once stood.

Brandenburg realtor Leatta Cannady was recommended by Pace and was approved to fill a one-year term position with the Board of Assessment of Appeals. Pennington and Skinner were also unanimously approved
by council members to audit the city’s books. “They’ve always done a great job … I think we should go ahead and stick with them,” said councilmember Bruce Fackler. Cox reported more than $4,000 in repairs that are needed to a police car that struck a deer last Thursday. He also passed around new badges that were designed for Brandenburg police officers.

“If hospitals can get organs to kids while the kids are still growing, it can often be easier for them to adjust and accept the organ,” she said. “But it’s not extremely common for children to need transplants.” Despite if the recipients are adults or children, it is crucial for more people to come forward and donate. According to the Kentucky Donor Registry, a single donor can provide organs, bone and tissue for nearly 50 people. And despite the 25,000 successful organ transplants reported in 2004, the KDR said twice as many transplants could have taken place if there had been more organs available.

Goodness can be found, if you’re looking
T
he world can be a scary, ugly place sometimes. Just flip on the news (any channel, it won’t matter), and you’re peaceful, quiet living room will be filled with tales of death, disaster, fire, kidnapping and scandals — all key ingredients for high broadcast news ratings. Judging by the 11 o’clock news, nothing positive or beneficial happens — ever. But look more closely and you can see that goodness still exists — and in spades — including here in Meade County. Whether it be a stranger passing through town walking a mile in honor of every dead soldier, a relative-by-marriage donating a kidney to his nephew, educators at the new Freshman Academy working diligently to help students enter high school, or volunteer firefighters working nights to keep the community safe, acts of selflessness and good will abound. These stories just don’t attract as many readers and viewers as those that paint a macabre picture of the world. But you don’t have to fight fires or walk several thousand miles to leave the world a better place than you found it. Volunteer your time, either at a school, church or nursing home; do a good deed for a neighbor, or simply show kindness to others in small ways. They say hate only breeds more hate, but kindness is contagious too. Letters to the Editor I joined the Meade County Fire Department in September 2005. As a new recipient, I did not realize the full scope of services our fire department provides to the public. Also, as a female, I wasn’t certain if I would be able to perform certain duties or if I would be fully expected or welcome for certain areas of training and duties. (That is, expected not to try certain physical aspects.) Since I joined I’ve discovered the very wide scope of services provided by firefighters in our department and have found myself not only welcome but expected to get in there and learn, train, and actively participate in all aspects of the fire service. It is not an effort of an individual “fireman” and “firewoman,” but a team effort of firefighters to get in there and train and do our best individually, but most importantly as a team. Our department chief and assistant chiefs have extensive leadership experience and it especially shows through their teaching and encouragement in both group and individual settings. Experienced firefighters on the department are invaluable in providing encouragement, learning, and support. If and when we discover our human limitations (whether as an individual or as a specific team of individuals) we work together to get around that limitation or overcome it. I will soon (by September 2007) be certified at the Ky. State 150 hour level of training and I am looking forward to one day certifying at the 400 hour level. I would encourage anyone who wants to increase their sense of worth and pride in their community and through collective effort improve community quality of life and save lives to join. I am very happy that I did. Jane Barnard Registered Nurse/Firefighter
This is in response to the column about forgiveness by Ronald Knott. There are times and circumstances which make forgiving inappropriate and/or impossible to do. One such case of inappropriate forgiveness claimed was by the Amish when one of its communities had several of its girls taken hostage, sexually victimized, and most of them executed by close range with a gun. Please read a facts/ opinion column by then Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby in the October 8, 2006 column “Undeserved forgiveness.” Robert Veith Brandenburg
Economy in a ‘cooling off’ period FRANKFORT — Of all the laws the Kentucky General Assembly enacts, none are more important than the two-year budget that guides state government spending. As with a household budget, it can be difficult to forecast good times or bad that far into the future. Fortunately, the state has an ace in the hole: The Consensus Forecasting Group, an independent, and relatively unknown, committee consisting of members appointed by leaders of the executive and legislative branches. In short, the committee’s job is to look into an economic crystal ball and decide how much revenue the state can expect. It is not an exact science, of course, but with billions of dollars to consider, their predictions historically have been very close to the mark. This group only meets a handful of times in a year, with the most recent late last week. Later this year, it will issue final figures in time for a budget process that formally kicks off when the General Assembly begins meeting in January. Economic data can be as dry as a bone to study, but closer inspection can reveal some interesting things about the state. For one thing, it appears that Kentucky’s economy is in the midst of a cooling-off period that is expected to stabilize over the next five years. The clearest example of that cooling off can be seen

What the act does, however, is give state courts permission to view your retirement pay as marital property, and therefore something that can be divided. • Only “disposable pay” can be divided, your gross minus any VA disability payment and taxes. • Your former spouse can collect from multiple sourc-

es. For example, if a former spouse remarries another active military and then later divorces, he or she can collect on the retirement money of both of you. • You don’t have to be married for 10 years while you serve before your former spouse can collect. That 10-year rule only applies to whom is going to cut the check. Ten years or more and DFAS will do it. Less than 10 years and you’ll be making the payments. • There is no 50 percent limit, outlined by the act,
on how much your former spouse can be awarded in a divorce. That 50 percent rule is only the maximum that DFAS will cut checks for. If child support is involved, it can go to 65 percent. A judge can award 100 percent, but you’ll be cutting the check for the balance. The Supreme Court recently refused to review an appeal of the Act.

It should be noted that there is a lot of volatility in this figure. Louisville’s housing starts during that time were up 13 percent, for example, while Lexington’s were down 25 percent. One area of our state’s budget that has consistently done well is the lottery. Officials announced late last month that sales topped $744 million for the just-completed fiscal year, the eighth time in nine years that a new sales record has been set. Of that, the state gets about $190 million, almost all of which now goes to scholarships and grants used for postsecondary schooling. As many of you know, the General Assembly was scheduled to take part in a special session this week, but as of late Friday, that time-frame was looking unlikely. If the committee working to draft that legislation can reach a resolution early this week, though, the special session could take place soon thereafter. I will of course keep you updated on this.

Find your creative spirit at the Doll House By Betsy Simon news@thenewsstandard. com The prospect of opening arts and craft supplies on Christmas morning isn’t always a dream come true for a teenager. However, when Jo-Een Clardy heard about a girl who became inspired to research her family's genealogy and create a festive family tree after receiving scrapbooking materials in her Christmas stocking, it gave Clardy an idea. “When I heard the story of this girl becoming so excited about her family because of scrapbooking, I got cold chills,” she said, who co-owns the Doll House Scrapbook and Gift Shop in Brandenburg with her husband, Larry Clardy. “We were looking to change the theme of the store, and I thought we could help families pass down memories through scrapbooking," . The Doll House Scrapbook and Gift Shop was established in 1979 by Larry Clardy and his late first wife. The store began as a place to purchase handcrafted items, like dolls, which gave the store its name. Eventually, the buying market shifted toward store bought goods, so Larry and his second wife, JoEen, were forced to change with the times and join the “Beanie Babies craze” of the 1990s. As the desire for Beanie Babies slowly died out around 2001, they turned Jo-Een's love of scrapbooking into the store’s theme, though other items are sold, as well. “The store gives people a way to make small gifts that mean a lot,” Jo-Een said. “I’m proud of the fact that we teach people how to make pretty pages and
allow them to preserve memories of their friends and families.” Along with selling stationary and decorative scrapbook items, the Clardy’s also assist people, for a fee, by doing custom scrapbooking, which Larry said is one of his favorite things about the store. “What I like most is seeing the satisfaction customers get from having us help them make their scrapbooks,” he said. “My excitement for the business just never wears out.” The store has changed numerous times during the nearly three decades it has been open, but the transformations have only increased the love the Clardy’s have for going to work. Jo-Een said she is eagerly waiting for the stores fall and Christmas Webkinz lines to arrive, so they can be sold next to the store’s other hot item ⎯ the Boyds Bear collection. “Even though the store has been around for 28 years, it’s still fun to come here every day and be excited about changes that are happening,” Jo-Een said. The store’s array of great scrapbooking materials is what draws faithful patron Jenny Cain of Louisville back to the store . “I’ve been here many times before,” she said. “I thought I’d stop in and see what new stuff the store had because I love scrapbooking.” In order to stay abreast of changes and offer the most current products, the Clardy’s attended a conference in July where they met with vendors and saw the new product lines that are coming out. Some of the store’s products, like the Boyds Bears, are only allowed to be sold by selected vendors.

We are always looking for ways to reduce our energy bills. One simple way to save energy around your home is to switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs use at least two-thirds less energy than standard incandescent bulbs but provide the same amount of light. These bulbs also last up to 10 times longer, and this alone makes them particularly good for any hardto-reach areas, since they don’t have to be replaced as often. In addition, they give off 70 percent less heat so they won’t heat up a room. This means that you’ll cut air-conditioning costs in the summer. Over the lifetime of each bulb, you will save about $30 or more on your energy bills. You will get the greatest savings by replacing incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents in areas where lights are used the most, such as kitchen, family room and porch. When buying a compact fluorescent bulb, select one that offers the same lumen rating as the light you are replacing. The higher the lumen rating, the greater the light output. Also, be sure to match the right bulb to the fixture. To do this, ask for assistance in
the store or read the packaging to be sure that the type you select works for the fixture you have in mind. For example, if a light fixture is connected to a dimmer or three-way switch, select bulbs that are labeled for this use. Some compact fluorescent bulbs have trouble operating in enclosed fixtures and for recessed fixtures, it is better to use a “reflector” CFL rather than a standardshape bulb. Check the bulb’s packaging for any restrictions on use, including inside or outside use, whether it can be placed in an upright position only and for other information Use care when removing the bulb from its packaging. CFLs are glass and can break if they are dropped or handled too roughly. When installing or replacing a CFL, always screw and unscrew the bulb by its base (not the glass) and never use force when twisting it into a light socket. Don’t just toss a CFL in the trash if it burns out or breaks. The bulbs have a very small amount of mercury in them, so follow some simple precautions. Remember that Energy Star qualified CFLs have a warranty period. If a bulb burns out and it’s still within the warranty time period, simply return the bulb

Larry said the Doll House Scrapbook and Gift Shop is one of those vendors, which makes it a great place to go. “We shop at the big chain stores like every body else, but there are things you can’t get there that you will find in our store,” he said. “The ‘mom ‘n pop store’ still has its place in today’s market.” But this ‘mom ‘n pop store’ is hoping to reach a much wider audience eventually.

to the retailer. If this is not an option, check with your local municipal landfill to see how they recommend disposing of it. If a CFL breaks, open a window and have everyone leave the room for 15 minutes. Then carefully remove all the materials that you can without using a vacuum cleaner. To do this, put on rubber gloves (don’t use bare hands) and scoop up the remains with stiff paper or cardboard. Wipe the area clean with a damp paper towel or wet disposal wipes. Use a sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up any remaining small bits. Place all of these cleanup materials in a double plastic bag that’s sealed tight The first time you vacuum the area where the bulb was broken, remove and place a disposal vacuum cleaner bag in a plastic bag or empty the contents into a plastic bag and wipe the canister with a damp paper towel. Then place all cleanup materials and contents in double sealed plastic bags and follow the disposal recommendations given by your local municipal service. For more energy saving tips, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service.

How local producers can beat the heat Andy Mills UK Extension Office It looked like we were going to recover somewhat after the spring freeze and early drought. July rains had everything looking good again. Now with two weeks of 100 degree temperatures and no rain we are back in a “what to do” decision making process again. Pastures are weak, hay is in short supply, and water may soon be an issue. Outside of drilling a well and installing waterers, Mother Nature is in complete control of the watering livestock situation. Feeding livestock is in control of the animal owner. How and what a producer feeds may be determined by the “Man Upstairs,” but a livestock owner may have some options. One option is trying to grow some fast, later in the season type pasture with cereal grains. This is somewhat risky, because if we have little to no rain, the forage will not grow. Probably the best option is to limit feed hay. The following excerpt is from an article that Dr. Roy Burris, UK Beef Specialist, has written on options for beef producers who have short hay supplies: “We can limit feed hay to the point that we are just using it as a ‘scratch factor’ to
keep rumen healthy (about 5 lb/hd/day) to stretch the hay supply and supplement with a concentrate to balance the ration. If you are already out of pasture, early weaning and feeding the calves can be another option that will allow you to keep condition on the cows.” We didn’t have much hay this year but we generally are able to get it baled without it being rained on. So, the early-cut hay may be a good value. The problem is with latecut “junk” and straw. These will need some supplementation. Don’t buy hay without a nutrient analysis (forage test). Corn and hay are both expensive this year but in my opinion, poor quality hay in large round bales is the most expensive feed ingredient that you can buy. A lot of people are trying various treatments to improve quality. There is an old saying that “you can’t make a silk purse out of sow’s ear” That may apply here. Some producers are injecting the bales or considering ammoniation. Treating straw with anhydrous ammonia is always tried in times like these. It will increase the crude protein content of the hay and may improve digestibility but it is a risky procedure. And one which is not approved by F.D.A. so I can’t recommend it, but

LEXINGTON, Ky., – Kentucky livestock producers will need to keep an attentive eye on their animals for the next eight to 14 days, as the hottest spell of weather since August 2005 continues to sweep across the state. University of Kentucky Agricultural Meteorologist Tom Priddy has issued a livestock heat stress advisory for the entire state. Heat indices in the afternoon and early evening are expected to be in the 100 to 105 degree range, with the northern counties experiencing indices that could be closer to 110 degrees. The livestock heat index is in the emergency category and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Priddy said the heat wave prompts some real concern for humans, as well as livestock and pets. The heat index is a combination of air temperature and humidity. That one-two punch makes it hazardous for people and animals. Dew points above 65 degrees lead officials to declare conditions dangerous for livestock, he said. Dew points around the state

continue to hover in the 70s and Priddy expects very little change in the extended forecast. “There will be a slight break over the weekend when temperatures drop to the high 80s and low 90s across the state,” he said, “but then it picks right back up again at the beginning of next week.” UK College of Agriculture livestock specialist Bill Crist recommends providing plenty of fresh water, adequate feed and shade for livestock.

The recent weeks of dry weather and high temperatures are putting local livestock producers into a “what to do” decision making process when it comes to hay. I don’t anyway. You might be successful with dry wheat straw, but we have been through this in the 80’s when we learned that ammoniation, especially of what and fescue hay, can lead to the formation of a toxic compound (4-methyl immidazole) which causes “crazy cow” syndrome. In my opinion, the best approach to feeding low quality roughage is to supplement it and/or limit feed it. In any case, feed a balanced ration and monitor body condition of the cows. Whatever strategy that you choose to implement to stretch your hay supply, you should supplement to keep your cows in good body condition – BCS of 5. The most severe result of this hay shortage would
be to have poor pregnancy rates next spring. We must feed the cows an adequate ration to avoid this. The challenge for August is to be sure that the cattle have plenty of shade, mineral supplementation, fly control, good pasture in addition to good water. Nursing calves should continue to gain during this “summer slump.” Whatever livestock owners decide to do now through the winter may be based on some hard decisions. I have found the easiest, cheapest decision making tools are a pencil and a calculator. If you decide to limit feed your hay and supplement with grain products, stop by and I will help you balance a ration that will meet your livestock nutritional needs.

He said the most important things producers can do are to provide cool, clean water and shade with buildings as open as possible. “Also, adding fans inside the buildings can help keep air flowing,” he said. “When you bring the cows into the milking parlor, don’t move them fast and try to keep them calm.” Some dairy producers have installed sprinkler systems that spray cool water for a few minutes at a time. When the sprinklers shut off the fans evaporate water and draw heat from the cows. All species of livestock will benefit from early morning or evening feeding times to avoid eating in the hottest parts of the day, he said. Crist said it’s important for producers to avoid stressing the animals in hot weather. This means to limit traveling or even movement around the farm, as well as working them in any way. This can all put the animals under added stress and cause more problems down the road, he said. “Certainly, you do not want to work cattle with this kind of weather – veterinarian work, reproductive checks or vaccinations … anything
that makes them move for some reason,” he said. Up-to-date livestock heat stress index information is available through the Agricultural Weather Center Web site at www.agwx.ca.uky. edu/ or by going to the local county Extension office’s Web site and clicking on the weather link.

When Brother Randy and Sister Peggy Johnson came to pastor at the Brandenburg Church of God on March 3, 1997, they had four children. They now have six grandchildren with the seventh on the way in September. Brother Randy was just a pastor when he came to Brandenburg. But over the past 10 years he has helped the church grow to be a help to the community. The Brandenburg Church of God started as a food bank in 1997 when Sister Annette Warren started it, and a Helping Hands Store in 2001 to help people with clothing and needs at low cost or free. Brother Randy and the men of The Brandenburg Church of God have had a Tent Revival every year for the last 10 years. Brother Randy has had a Sunday morning gospel on the air program for more than a year, and a local talk show for over five years now. The church is still going strong! The church helps in any area it can.

Kids’ TV exposure must be limited
ABE’S SWEET DREAMS
that all the children want to see, such as a feature broadcast or a holiday program during Christmas or Thanksgiving, you can issue more tickets. You might also give extra tickets as rewards for achievement or some other laudable behavior. The real test will occur when parents reveal whether or not they have the courage to put themselves on that limited system, too. We often need the same regulations in our viewing habits! Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, P.O. Box 444, Colorado Springs, CO. 80903; or www.family.org.

or make a roll of tickets. Issue each child 10 tickets per week, and let him or her use them to “buy” the privilege of watching the programs on the approved list. When the tickets are gone, television viewing is over for that week. This teaches a child to be discriminating about what is watched. A maximum of 10 hours of viewing per week might be an appropriate place to start, compared with the national average of 40 to 50 hours per week. That’s far too much, especially for an elementary school child. This system can be modified to fit individual home situations or circumstances. If there’s a special program
Surround yourself with wisdom Encourage one another. —II Corinthians 13:11 The Beatles used to sing, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” When I started writing weekly columns over five years ago, I did it to encourage ordinary Christians in living our faith. I realize now that I was actually giving to others what I am always in need of myself. The words of Jesus have certainly come true for me, “Give and it will be given to you. Pressed down and shaken together will it be poured into your lap.” The readers of this column have indeed been encouraging. They have poured it on! As Jim Stoval put it, “You need to be aware of what others are doing, applaud their efforts, acknowledge their successes, and encourage them in their pursuits. When we help one another, everybody

ken they can never be taken back. James 1:19 tells us to be “slow to speak, slow to anger, for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.” Be careful what you say, especially in anger. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. Randy Johnson is the reverend of the Brandenburg Church of God and also hosts a radio show on WMMG from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. from Monday through Wednesday.
Being ‘burdened’ but not blessed Let’s take a look at Exodus 2:11–15: (Moses) went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. He killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. The next day, he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “ Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled. At the age of 40, the secret of Moses’ true identity was becoming more than he could bear. Born to Hebrew slaves, he had been raised as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. Yet, Moses had never forgotten the words of his real mother who had been hired to nurse him. She had told him that God had rescued him from death for a special purpose. No matter how hard he tried to forget, her words had continued to

ABOVE: The News Standard Assistant Editor Laura Saylor catches up with Damion Maynard in Louisville to share a cup of coffee and a few tales from the road.
LEFT: Maynard flips through his logbooks with signatures and messages from those he’s met during the last nine months of traveling. To date, Maynard has walked more than 1,400 miles through 10 states during his tribute to fallen service members. Everyone from U.S. citizens and foreigners to privates and generals have signed the logbook, and many have even given Maynard mementos to show their appreciation. get it back in some way.” Though Maynard began this endeavor to the nation’s capital with aspirations of bringing recognition and respect to the more than 3,500 men and women who have died in Iraq, and despite the fact he has befriended thousands of people along the way, this journey is quite private, spiritual and introverted for Maynard. “I like the route that’s been chosen for me,” Maynard said. “The things that have happened are so circumstantial. This can’t be anything but divine, really.” Spending time away from his wife, Gina, and their four-year-old daughter allows Maynard to understand how it feels to pine for loved ones, something soldiers and their families can easily relate to. “I can really get a good understanding of a soldier’s heartache after this,”
he said. He talks to his wife on his cell phone, which is always charged and at his side, at least once a week. He also uses public libraries or Internet cafes to check his email and research the coverage he has received. Of all of Maynard’s prestigious possessions that stay tucked away in his wallet, pockets and rucksack, a tatter logbook, autographed by thousands of people, is his most valuable possession. Handwritten messages from Americans in ten different states, some written in Spanish and French, give each page an irreplaceable worth. It is by looking at the logbook and reading the words of encouragement and support that makes it possible to truly understand the influence Maynard is leaving on people’s lives. Kept inside Maynard’s logbook is a letter from his wife that was given to him
on the day he departed. Gina writes, “When you meet people I know some will be skeptical, some doubtful. Let them be. You aren’t doing this to prove to them you give a damn, you are doing this unselfishly, to inspire hope, unity and the spirit of freedom.” “She says it all in that letter,” Maynard said. “Those are her words.” Though Maynard’s goal is to meet as many people as possible along his hike to the White House, when it’s hump time, it’s hump time. He averaged 15 miles per day until a sprained ankle a few weeks ago slowed his daily progress. He’s traveled interstates, highways, back roads, dirt roads, bridges, train tracks and creeks. With his American flag flapping proudly from his rucksack, Maynard is pretty easy to spot. “I have some reflectors for at night,” Maynard said. “But I’ve been told that on
the interstate people can see me from what’s probably about two miles away … or they can see the flag at least.” Maynard sleeps wherever he can. He camps out in parks or in the woods, other times he meets people who offer to put him in a hotel overnight. His diet consists mainly of beef jerky and MREs (Meals-Ready-ToEat). But at times, he has to be resourceful to get his next meal. “There have been times when I had to forage off the land,” he said. When Maynard’s journey began, he endured a few frigid winter months in Colorado and Wyoming before he reached the record high temperatures in Tennessee and Kentucky. “It was cold when I started. It was really cold. Now it’s really hot … but I keep going. I don’t turn back,” he said.

SPORTS BRIEFS The Lady Waves volleyball team won its second match of the season last Thursday, taking out LaRue County 2-0 (25-10, 25-17). The Waves (2-0) overcame a slow start, falling behind 7-5 in the first game. Junior Maris Harreld filled in for junior Shelby Chism, who wasn’t feeling well. Senior Morgan Filburn led the way with nine kills, four digs, an ace and an assist, while senior Megan McGehee had three kills, two blocks, one ace and a dig. Senior Lydia Curran had eight digs, two kills and three aces, and senior Brittini Schmidt had three assists and a block. Harreld had 16 assists, a kill and one ace, while junior Claire Cannady posted four kills, three digs and one ace. Senior Melinda Hurt had seven digs and freshman Tiffany Filburn had three digs and one kill. The JV also won its match 2-0 (21-10, 21-16), while the freshman team fell 0-2 (10-18, 7-18).

Greenwave needs to air it out High School football is often ridiculously predictable. Most coaches follow a linear game plan of run the ball, run the ball and then run some more — opting to pass only when absolutely necessary. But this year’s Greenwave football team should break the mold, especially after the glimpses of potential senior quarterback News to Me J.L. Cannady displayed at times during the team’s first scrimmage against Marion County last Friday. Head coach Larry Mofield has said Cannady is one of his fastest players on the field — and he was right. Cannady was explosive Charles L. running out of the pocket, Westmoreland but unlike many young quarterbacks who look to high-tail it downfield immediately, Cannady kept his composure and made smart passes on the run, several of which led to significant yardage. It’s hard to say how successful Cannady’s passing attack will be throughout the duration of the season but since I’m playing the role of “football expert” (which I say partially in jest), let’s speculate a bit. Cannady showed shiftiness and good awareness in the pocket. Several times he was chased out of the pocket by defenders but Cannady was sacked only once during the scrimmage. He seemed comfortable scrambling and throwing on the run, which opened passing lanes and helped give receivers more time to get open. The defenders chasing Cannady, however, never got within arms reach with the exception of the one sack (where the defender came from his blind side). The Greenwave had a case of fumblitis early on, but when receivers did hold onto the ball they made tacklers miss, which led to large gains. If receivers can work on their pass-catching and possession skills, and a deep threat emerges among receivers to keep defensive backs honest, Cannady could have a breakout year in the region. Especially when senior tight end Nick Stinnet recovers from a broken finger suffered during summer practice. Stinnett, who is arguably Cannady’s priority target, has said he hopes to catch passes for 1,000 yards this year, which is only possible if Mofield decides to air it out more this season. At 6-2, 220-plus pounds, good speed and

The Greenwave golf team has battled the scorching summer sun to post some unseasonably cool scores so far this early fall sports season. According to coach Josh Thompson, the team really needs to improve its chipping and putting if it hopes to compete in the region later this year. “It has a lot to do with our short games, which are just not very good,” he said. “They go through spurts where they hit it off the tee really well, but they’re having trouble hitting the greens and getting the ball into the hole. From 150 yards in, that’s where you have to be good and that’s something I stress. That’s where you’re going to get beat or beat
people.” Eighth-grader and team No. 1 Chase Garris said the team’s short game has been the emphasis in practice lately. “It’s very important because you have to get the ball in the hole and without that, you can’t score well at all,” he said. “Sometimes during practice (Thompson will) just have us bring a couple of wedges and our 150-yard club and we’ll just play nine holes from there every time.” Aug. 6 the team played in the Male High School Invitational at South Park Country Club in Louisville, where it finished 18th out of 23 schools. Thompson said the team received a wake-up call as far as how much work lies ahead. “The Male Invitational was the first event of the season for us,”
Thompson said. “It was a tough course and a really hot day. The course was intimidating — especially since none of the guys had ever seen it before. It’s a shot-makers course and they really struggled. It was better than I thought it would be but it was still not very good. It was a good field as well. We shot a 362 and you can tell by the score that it was a tough day.” The scores are derived from each team’s top five players, generally on a par 72 course. Each team can drop its lowest score for a four-person total — par being 288. Last Wednesday the team drove two-plus hours to Winchester to compete in the George Rogers Clark Invitational and Thompson

Waves soccer drops opener By Shaun T. Cox sports@thenewsstandard.com The Lady Waves couldn’t get anything going on the offensive end and dropped their season opener 3-0 at Nelson County on Monday. Coach Dan Shook said his team’s first game was truly an opener in every sense of the word. “It’s frustrating, obviously, to lose your first game,” he said. “But, Nelson County is a tough team and I think it helped us by showing where we need to be earlier in the year instead of later.” Shook said the Waves had trouble advancing the ball against an average Lady Cardinals defense.
“We had trouble moving the ball up the field and we didn’t get our strikers a lot of looks at goal and that was our main problem,” he said. “We’re going to have to do a better job moving the ball and maintaining possessions. We turned the ball over a lot at midfield and we had trouble, especially in the first half. Sopohomore Joy Straney, one of seven tenthgraders who start on the varsity, said the players all need to look for each other more and back each other up. “We’ve been having trouble passing and part of the reason is the midfield and offense doesn’t come

Elliott shows he’s truly a team player for Wood Bros. DAYTONA BEACH — In a time of big money, big egos and big pressure, former NASCAR champion Bill Elliott is clearly the exception to the rule. Elliott, who Buddy jumped in the Wood Brothers/ Shacklette JTG Racing’s No. 21 Ford in the 12th race of the year to help his longtime friends out, did the next-best thing this past weekend. NASCAR After qualifying was rained out for Sunday’s NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Watkins Glen, N.Y., he approached road-racing specialist Boris Said about his plans for the weekend — Said wasn’t going to be allowed to race because his part-time effort was the odd-man out when qualifying was washed

Bill Elliott’s No. 21 Ford, which Boris Said ran in last weekend. out. “Bill Elliott came up a little while ago and I guess he had run into Boris across the garage,” team owner Len Wood said. “And he asked him what he was doing, and Boris said, ‘Nothing,’ you know, he had missed
the race. I don’t know from where it started, if Bill asked him to drive our car or what. I think that’s the way it went because Bill came to me and said that in the best interests of the team, let’s put Boris in. He said ‘I’ll give it my best effort,’ and Bill’s an
excellent road racer. The first place he ever won was at Riverside, but he suggested putting Boris in. We first cleared it with sponsors and then went to NASCAR and cleared it with them.” After everyone OK’d the move, Elliott, a native of Dawsonville, Ga., respectfully stepped out of the car and handed the steering wheel over to Said, who started 36th and finished 14th in Sunday’s Centurion Boats at the Glen. Elliott, who ran a respectable 19th at the other road-course race this year at Infineon, was apparently more concerned about the No. 21 Ford moving into the top-35 in the points standings than he was in driving this weekend. “I think I do OK road racing,” Elliot said. “I’m not the world’s greatest, but the problem that I have is I haven’t road-raced since Sonoma and this team is so close to where

back and help us play defense sometimes because they’re tired and we get tired too,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a lack of conditioning, I just think they can’t get back sometimes.” Shook said his team played better in the second half. “I will say in the second half we split with Nelson as far as controlling the game and I thought we started getting some looks and had more shots on goal,” he said. “We just weren’t able to connect with any.” Straney said the team had some first-game jitters, which wore off as the game went on. “He told us that we weren’t moving the ball and our offense wasn’t getting any shots,” she said.

soft hands, Stinnett could very well be the primary receiver Cannady needs when forced to scramble and leave the pocket. But the key will be stretching out the field enough that opposing teams can’t play eight men in the box. The running game was efficient, for the most part, but not nearly as inspiring as the passing attack. However, receivers were a bit inconsistent at times. Early on an over-the-middle pass to an open receiver was dropped and another receiver fumbled a catch a few plays later on the same drive, which might explain why Mofield wants to keep
“In the past five or so years, we haven’t been able to beat Nelson County and he tried to motivate us to be the ones to do it. We played a lot more aggressive in the second half. We had some first-game nerves and we were getting beat to the ball in the first half, so we started to push and shove with them.” Shook said his players needed to get better at moving without the ball and passing. “We have to make more supporting runs because we were not moving without the ball the way we needed to be and that’s critical to the game,” he said. “I did think we started doing things better — controlling things more, taking our time and not rushing the pass — and things started to click for us a little better.” Straney said the team will really start to gel after a few more games. “The more we come to-
gether and play together — we’re a younger team — I think we’ll get a lot better,” she said. “I think we should have played more scrimmages and I think we should play in more tournaments like the boys so we can play more games.” Shook agreed the team hasn’t yet had much of chance to find its identity. “I think it’s going to take continued work and bringing the girls together,” he said. “With this particular group, we have people who played last year and people who didn’t play as much on varsity. Not having a scrimmage didn’t really give us an opportunity to see them as much or give the girls a chance to really play together other than practice. The alumni game was the only game they’ve really played together.” One thing Shook was impressed with was his team’s toughness “Nelson County has al-
with the run first approach. But I don’t believe Meade County can reach the state championship this year riding the running game. Sooner or later (probably later in the playoffs), the Greenwave will face a bigger, faster, more dominant defensive team that will stack the line of scrimmage and ultimately shut down the running game altogether. The thumping the team received last year against Ryle in the state semi-finals is proof enough of that. Not nearly as many high school teams, though, specialize in shutting down the passing game and high school defensive backs can often be confused and confounded into missing assignments and misreading playaction passes that will open up passing lanes.
It’s here where Cannady’s experience, quickness and accuracy will benefit, especially is the receiving corps steps to the plate. But like any so-called “football expert,” everything I’ve said could be wrong and misguided. With another week until the first game against Fern Creek, only speculation in possible. Mofield has proved time and again that he’s the head coach and signal caller for a reason, and he undoubtedly will prove it again this year. If he does proceed with a run-first game plan, it will be with good reason. But to not take advantage of a senior quarterback (who is also a three year starter) would be a shame, especially with one like Cannady who has so much potential left to explore.

ways been a physical team and in the past, I haven’t always felt our girls stood up to that,” he said. “I think we matched them up well physically last night and we didn’t get pushed off the ball.” The team’s home opener came after publication last night against Bullitt East and next up, the girls host Corydon on Monday. “This is our third or fourth year with Corydon and the boys had actually played them for several seasons,” Shook said. “I thought since it was a team from right across the river that’s closer even than Etown, we should play. So we were able to get a contract worked out and we’ve kept that competition going.”

Mofield Q&A part III — Ready for some football After serving as an assistant coach for 14 years, Larry Mofield is entering his fourth season as the headman on the Greenwave sideline. 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 and this is the third and final part of the series.
was better suited to the 4-4. There are times when you look and think you should be doing something else and we thought we could do a 3-5, but when you run an oddfront defense like that, you’d better have a nose guard that can dominate a game and draw double-teams because that will free up your linebackers. We really weren’t able to force too many doubleteams on the nose so we went back to what we know and our defense really blossomed going back to the 4-4.
Larry Mofield
Question: You lost some good players from a defense that held opponents under seven points in four of your last six games, including a John Hardin team that scored 52 on you in the regular season. Who, aside from Area Defensive Player of the Year Chris Roe, do you expect to step up? Answer: Nick Stinnett has the potential to be one of the best players in the state of Kentucky. He has God given ability at 6-3, 220 (pounds) and when Nick decides to play you can’t handle him. I joke with him all time that we ought to put him in a cage, raise the door on Friday nights and put him back in the cage after the game. That’s the kind of athleticism and ability he has on both sides of the ball. He can be a devastating blocker as a tight end and he has great hands. If he wants to, Nick can dominate on the defensive side of the ball. Alex Furnival will play some defense, probably at outside linebacker. Eric Whelan does a good job at defensive tackle. In a game against Ryle where we got beat pretty bad, Eric had a good game. It’s hard to say anyone played well when you get beat 31-0, but Eric did and he was really aggressive. He’ll be at tackle and Nick is at defensive end. A big question will be the secondary. We had some guys that played there last like Drew Stankiewicz, who played strong corner — the spot teams try to pick on — and they didn’t pick on Drew very much. He was really steady. Josh Stinnett was our safety and he was really strong too. We’ve got Doug Wells coming back but we may move him to linebacker. Jeremiah Mann, Tommy Arnold, Brandon Barr could all step up in the secondary. J.L. can even step in and be one of the better safeties around because he’s an athlete, he can cover a lot of ground and he’s intelligent. Chuck Naser could start at linebacker. The other inside linebacker, where T.J. Millay played, will be a question mark for us. There are four or five kids that could step in and play. As I said, we’ll be young on defense, but I think coach Mattingly runs scheme that the kids can pick up and execute. I think we can bridge the gap on defense because we’ve got some kids that will hustle, and they’ll hit you. You can cover up mistakes sometimes if you hustle and you tackle. Question: Last year, after you switched from a 3-5 defensive front to a 4-4, that’s when the winning streak began. Will you stick with the 4-4 this year? Answer: We’ve always played a 4-4 but we started out in a 3-5 last year. We ended up switching back because we felt like our personnel
Question: Talk about special teams. Have you found a kicker to replace the departed Chad Brunner yet? Who will you have returning kicks? Answer: We’re going to audition several kids and you never really know until you get them out there and let them kick. Kicking off a tee with a coach watching is one thing, whereas kicking with the rush coming at you is totally different. I think if we were to play today, we’d give the nod to Nick Stinnett at punter. Nick’s a kid that’s pretty amazing. I’ve seen him punt the ball 60 yards but I’ve also seen him kick it five yards. If he can get a little more consistent, he can really boom it because he’s got a strong leg. That’s what you look for in a kicker. It’s not always the prettiest as far as technique but he can get the job done. If he misses one and it goes 30 yards that’s OK. But the ones that go five, 10 and 15 yards, that’s what we have to avoid. J.L. can kick it some too. You get in a situation in a game sometimes where it’s fourth-and-short and don’t always want to go for it, but you want to make the defense think you’re going for it. We did that a few times with some success last year and we’ll still do that. Returning punts, that’s one of the first things you look for when practice starts. You’re looking for a tough kid that can catch the football. They’re going to catch the ball and they could get popped instantly, or they could run it back for a touchdown. What I don’t like is letting the ball hit the ground and the other team getting 20 yards more in field position. I think you could look at a kid like Alex Furnival because he’s tough and he’s got good concentration. I’m interested in looking at a kid like Tommy Arnold. I think he’s got pretty good hands but catching a pass is different than catching a punt. As far as returning kick offs, I’ll look at Arnold and Doug Wells. I think he’s got some speed and you typically want your faster kids returning kick offs. Furnival and Jeremiah Mann are both guys that could go back there. Question: Half of your schedule consists of teams you didn’t play last year. Talk about that a little. Answer: We picked up some new teams. I think Greenwood will be tough because they’re going to be big and physical. You know that in the Bowling Green area, there are going to be some football players and some good athletes. Apollo will be a good football team and their coach, Jeff Carlburg, is a Meade County alum. He worked under Bobby Sphire at Lexington Catholic and they’ll throw the football a lot. We play Conner, who’s
a Northern Kentucky team. They’re coming here this year. Woodford County is one that beat Lafayette, who was undefeated, in the playoffs. They’re a strong team. The thing I can say about this I schedule — and it seems like I say it every year but I’m truthful in that — is that it’s the toughest we’ve had in a long time. You can’t look at any game and say, ‘That’s a win.’ On the flip side of that, it’s going to help us to be a better football team. Ultimately, that’s what you want. You can go out and fill your schedule with cupcakes, but we don’t think that will help us down the road. We’re in a five-team district and four go to the playoffs. With the talent our district will have, you can’t load the schedule with weak non-district opponents and expect to do well. This year, different from the last few years, our district games are more spread out instead of being back loaded. I think our schedule is very, very difficult but that’s not something that we’ve ever shied away from. As long as I’m head coach, we’ll play good teams because we feel like that’s a measuring stick. We know that the ultimate test in 6A football will be Trinity, Male and St. X. In order to compete with and beat the big three, you’ve got to play good teams during the season so that’s what we’re going to do. Question: Finally, talk about the shuffling of the district. Answer: With North Hardin, Nelson County and Central Hardin — Central has a new coach in Meade County alum Mike Lawson — they’ll much improved. I think Central will be the team that can do some damage. North is North — they’ll probably be favored every year to win the district because they have really good athletes. Anytime you have speed you’ll be favored and they’ve always got it. Anytime you have to contend with speed, that’s always in the back of your mind. That’s another reason why we schedule tough and play the Fern Creeks and keep John Hardin on the schedule. So when we play North, we’re not going to be intimidated by their speed because we’ve seen it. There won’t be too many teams in the state faster than Fern Creek and probably no teams faster than John Hardin. When our kids compete with speed and have success — we didn’t do a good job against John Hardin the first time, but the second game we came back and played the way we were supposed to. Nelson County is a team that will probably surprise. Greenwood is really the unknown. You could probably put all the teams in a hat and pull one out — I think it’s that wide-open. Our schedule’s tough, our district’s tough, but 6A football’s tough. The standard in Meade County football is set high. Wilson Sears set the standard in 1965. Jim Devries helped set the standard and so did John Proctor. Larry French helped set the standard. Those four former head coaches laid the groundwork that this is not a program that’s just interested in .500 seasons. The bar has been set high and the administration and support here are second to none. Where there’s pressure and expectations, there’s support. That’s the positive thing about pressure and expectations. That’s what you want as a head coach. That’s the reason I love being in Meade County. There’s not a program in this school system that isn’t supported.

do is fish isolated wood on main lake flats,� Grant said. “I might start early in the morning with a top-water bait like a Pop-R or a Zara Spook and then switch to a worm or lizard once the sun gets high.� Grant also likes to focus on main lake flats and bars that extend into the main channel. When targeting fish in these areas he will use a deep diving crankbait, a Carolina rig or a one-ounce spinnerbait. To avoid high daytime temperatures and the increase in pleasure boat traffic, many anglers will pursue Barren’s bucketmouths at night. When pursuing bass after dark, look for drop offs with stumps or standing timber, wood covered points or shallow main-lake flats. A dark, single colorado blade spinnerbait is a popular choice for nighttime anglers, as is a dark-colored rattling jig and trailer. Once water temperatures begin to cool in the fall, bass will get really active and move to shallow water. Shallow main-lake points and creek arms that descend quickly into deeper water will be the hot ticket.
Hemorrhagic spreads According to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, a number of white-tail deer have been found in Western Kentucky to have been infected with hemorrhagic disease. More than 20 dead deer in McLean County have been found, with cases being reported in at least 10 other counties.
Wildlife Biologist Danny Watson said the disease is transmitted through the bite of gnats. According to Watson, dead and emaciated deer are being found in or near water. Other counties affected so far include Breckinridge, Christian, Daviess, Hopkins, Logan, Muhlenberg,
Ohio, Simpson and Webster. Archery season for deer begins Sept. 1 and there are no plans to halt the beginning of hunting season as of yet. The state of Kentucky has large outbreaks of hemorrhagic disease about every two years and the disease is not infectious to humans.
Crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs and soft plastics will all produce. Once you catch a fish, work the area thoroughly. In autumn, you can oftentimes find bass schooling in these areas. If You Go Barren River Lake is located in Allen and Barren counties. It is easily accessible from I-65. Take exit 53 (Cave City) and go east on state Route 90. Once in Glassgow, turn right onto U.S.31E and follow this to the lake. For more information about the lake and a copy of the 2007 Fishing Forecast you can contact the KDFWR at 1-800-858-1549. There is lodging available at Barren River lake State Resort Park. The lodge offers 51 rooms. They have 22 cottages available for rent and a campground offering 99 campsites is also available.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your powers of persuasion, backed up, of course, by your considerable expertise, help you establish your case even to the most dubious decisionmakers in your workplace. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might still be a bit reluctant to face up to some lessthan-pleasant realities. But the sooner you accept the facts, the sooner you can set about making some needed changes.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Expect to make adjustments, even when things seem locked up and ready to go. But cheer up: At least one change could lead to something you've been hoping for. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The success of a recent project
should do a lot to boost your self-confidence. You might want to start now to check out ways to make that longdeferred bigger and bolder move. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Ease up on the pressure you might be putting on the new person in your life. It takes time for a budding relationship to blossom. Show more patience and understanding. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You have lots of inner strength in reserve. Use some of it to resist intimidation from those who might try to impose on your good nature for their own reasons. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The good news is that your on-the-job status is improving. The one cautionary note, however, involves a personal situation you might have been ignoring for too long. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Congratulations. Once again, your sharp
Sagittarian "horse sense" helps you work through a complicated situation that would leave most people confused. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Plan on indulging yourself in some well-earned good times through much of the week. Then be prepared to face some thought-provoking issues by the 18th. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Positive factors continue to dominate following a recent change in both your professional and personal lives. Expect to make contact with someone from your past. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Workplace stability allows you to continue making progress on your projects. But don't ignore your personal life. Spend more quality time with those special folks. BORN THIS WEEK: You have the gift for making people feel special. Maybe because you know how special you are. (c) 2007 King Features Synd., Inc.

I was one of hours drive, so that makes the fortunate kids who can’t transportation a minimal even remember their par- setback.
Divorce isn’t a great thing but I can see where it is the best option in some cases. Abusive relationships and unfaithful spouses are completely intolerable in my book, and I understand that in other instances sometimes peoples’ feelings just change or fade away. In those cases, the best option is probably to end the marriage. Staying in a situation like that, especially when children are involved, is a bad idea. Kids would be better off in a single parent home rather than having to watch one of their parents be abused all the time or living in fear that they’re going to get hit themselves. For someone who’s never
been in that type of home, you just don’t know what it’s like to have to walk on eggshells all the time, trying not to tick someone off for nothing. No one should have to live like that. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not trying to advocate divorce 100 percent of the time. I’m simply saying that in situations where therapy or rehabilitation have failed, divorce would be a much better choice rather than putting a child’s wellbeing at risk. Relationships can be problematic and adults can create difficult situations within their family, but that’s no reason for a child to have to suffer emotionally.
Getting back into the groove Students set their alarm clocks early Tuesday morning as they awoke in time for the first day of the 2007-08 school year. Students were anything but sleepy-eyed Tuesday morning, most showing excitement and anticipation at the start of a new year, and a few others showing signs of confusion as they entered new schools for the first time. The James R. Allen Freshman Academy and Brandenburg Primary School are in their inaugural year, while the high school has undergone improvements and renovations. In anticipation of the start of the new school year, the Meade County Public Library hosted a "Back to School Bash" on Aug. 9 during which boys and girls decorated school materials, such as binders and notebooks, giving them a creative jump start on the new school year.

said his team played better. “It was a bit of a confidence booster for us,” he said. “It was a wide-open course and it wasn’t really long and it was a small field. The team shot a 327 — 35 strokes better than in Louisville — but Thompson still thought his team could have scored. “That was a course where they should have scored better than they did,” he said. “The scores were better, but not where they should have been. There weren’t a lot of trees to get in the way. You could spray the ball around a bit and still not have much trouble getting it on the green and in for par.” Again, the 90-plus degree temperature likely had an effect. “It was really hot and some of the swings got a little wild there toward the end,” Thompson said. “That’s where a lot of them started losing it. I think Aaron’s (Ford) round would have

they need to be, and Bill Elliott doesn’t need the points, so why should my selfishness take away from this race team? I feel like with Boris, having come off fresh from racing last week and as much as he’s road-raced, I feel he can do better than I could. And that’s the reason I did what I did.” Elliott has used just one previous champion’s provisional this season while filling in for Ken Schrader to get the team into races most of the season. Wood Brothers/JTG team was just 26 points away from the coveted top-35 standing in points — which would guarantee them a spot in the next race.

been better but he lost a few shots there at the end.” Garris shot an even 80, but five putted one hole. “That’s what I’m talking about with them having to pay more attention to what they’re doing around the greens,” Thompson said. “It’s basically handing shots over and there’s no sense for him to ever do that in any situation with him being our No. 1. He got to witness a kid from Paducah Tilman birdie five of the last six holes and I told him that’s what he needs to strive for — to finish like that — because that kid was having a rough day at first too. He wound up shooting a 70, which was 2-under.” Garris said having five putts on one hole can be demoralizing. “Without that, I would have been closer to a 75 or a 76” he said. “I was just thinking I had to get off that hole and forget about it.” Last Saturday, the team hosted the annual Greenwave Invitational at Doe Valley. “It went really well and it was one of the biggest fields we’ve had with 25 teams and 125 golfers,” Thompson said.
“It was one I thought we’d be able to do something good in but to be honest, it was kind of a disappointment. There were two or three of us that got off to really bad starts and it never got good again.” The team shot a seasonworst 369 — on its home course. Thompson said Garris showed some grit by shooting a 37 on the back nine after posting a 43 on the front. “I was really proud of Chase,” he said. “That’s what I mean by being able to pick it up and fighting your way back. That showed me a little something right there because he could have rolled over and quit.” Garris said the front nine was slow but everything started clicking for him on the back. Thompson said he made a point to group his players with the best players at the Invitational. “The groups I had our guys playing with, two of the three had already won invitationals this year,” he said. “Manual and Christian Academy have both won one and Chase got to play with the kid who won the in-
dividual part of our tournament from Male. “So I threw them right there in the middle all of it because if you want to be a good golfer, that’s where you have to be. You can’t be intimidated and you have to want to be in that position. Unless you want to be playing against the best — aside from just wanting to have a good time — then I don’t know why you’re out there. Hopefully, the guys will start embracing that a little bit and want to be in those groups. They should see it as an achievement that people want to put them in those groups Tuesday, the team traveled to rival Breckinridge County for a tri-match with Breck and Owensboro. “We shot a 164, which wasn’t bad but we still got beat by nine strokes,” Thompson said. “Those are pretty good scores but Breck County played really well, it’s their home course and that’s an obvious advantage. And Owensboro shot a 161 and beat us by three strokes.” The team played last night at Doe Valley agasint LaRue County and John Hardin and
the business. “This kind of came out of left field, he said. “Obviously, I was pretty down after qualifying was canceled and I never expected this. But Bill came to me and said it would make perfect sense from where the team is in points. Driving the No. 21 wasn’t something that Elliott planned to do this season but when Wood Brothers/ JTG Racing struggled out of the gate and longtime friend and team co-owner Eddie Wood called, Elliott was only too happy to oblige. The Elliotts and Woods worked together with engines and development during their Ford days of the 1980s and it was a longtime respect as a racer that prompted Elliott to jump aboard. “When Bill first started we were in the late ’70s and Bill was fast the first time he ever came to the racetrack,” Eddie Wood said. “I remember he sat on the pole at Darlington. My uncle Leonard worked some with Ernie (Elliott) at the motor shop. We had
missed two races in a row, we missed Talladega and missed Richmond. I thought I’d call Bill and see if he was interested in doing some races. We go back 20 years and he said yeah I’d like to race some. We got together and pretty much shook hands and said let’s go race. So far it’s really working well.” It was — and has been — a win-win for both parties. Elliott was wanting to run 10-15 races this season and after driver Ken Schrader struggled out of the gate, Wood Brothers/JTG Racing suddenly found themselves outside of the top-35 owner points and needing to qualify their way into races. With former champion Dale Jarrett having already extinguished all of his past champion’s provisional starts, Elliott had six in his back pocket for the Woods if he didn’t qualify for the race on time. In his first race of the season at Charlotte he qualified well, led a lap and was crashed. He qualified 14th on time at Dover, used his first — and only provisional
— at Pocono and qualified 21st and finished 11th at Michigan. At Sonoma — with morerecent champion Terry Labonte in the field — Elliott was in a qualify on time or go-home situation. How did he respond? He qualified seventh and raced his way to a 19th-place finish. “Qualifying out at Sonoma was the biggest deal so far,” Wood said. “There were 52 cars here and a lot of road racers. He never gets shook. It is what it is. He never shows any signs.” Schrader qualified and raced in the first eight races of the season, but after netting no better than a 19thplace finish all season, missing two races and running Darlington, Wood went to Elliott. Since putting Elliott in the cockpit, Wood Brothers/JTG Racing has made every race and is assured of making at least five more with Elliott behind the wheel. “Racing’s all about combinations and people he and (crew chief) Fatback (Mc-

Chase Garris lines up his putt on the fifth hole Saturday. Garris followed up a front nine 43 with a 37 on the back. next up is Nelson County at Woodlawn Springs Country Club. The team has played a lot early this season and Thompson said fatigue may have been a factor recently, but the boys will continue to work on their short games. “They might be a little tired because we have played a lot of golf and it’s been so hot,” he said. “But I think what they need to do right now is sharpen up their short games
and doing a better job of bearing down when they get inside of 150 yards.” Garris said he’s learned a lot from some of the competition he’s seen thus far. “I’ve learned how crucial it really is to have a good short game,” he said. “All these guys that I’ve played against have been really strong with it. “They’re strong at every point but that’s what really gives them the best scores.”
Swain) and Ernie Cope seem to gel together,” Wood said. “That’s what success is made of. We’re fortunate.” Elliott wanted to run some races and assist the budding career of son Chase, but if things continue on the way they’re going, the 1988 champion could find himself running as many as 24 events this season. For now it’s a week-toweek handshake deal. “I just so much enjoy where I’m at right now,” Elliott said. “We just need to work together and get through some of these places down here. This sport has changed so much in the last couple of years. It’s just a tough, tough sport right now.” When, and if, Elliott gets the team back into the top35 in owner points, Schrader will likely jump back into the car. Then again, if the No. 21 Ford gets back outside of the top-35 again it can always fall back on Elliott. “I can tell you that this is a very hard working team and it makes me want to drive as hard as I can to help them out and get their deal
turned around because it’s tough being on the outside of the top-35 for qualifying and making these races,” Elliott said. “The competition level in the garage right now is just incredible, but I think we’ve definitely held our own as a team and we’re hoping to get those points back up there for the Wood Brothers. We’ll see where it goes.” Elliott has driven in at least six races each of the last three seasons since stepping away from fulltime Cup competition. R.J. Racing, whom Elliott competed in three races for last season, put him in the No. 37 entry earlier this season at Daytona but the under-funded team — even with Elliott behind the wheel — failed to make the race. Elliott’s last full season came in 2003 when he drove the No. 9 Evernham Motorsports Dodge to a ninth-place finish in the final points standings and a win at Rockingham (N.C.), a track that the series no longer competes on.
