Good news, bad news at Fiscal Court By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
Several county agencies issued reports to Fiscal Court during a recent meeting, some bringing good news to the table, others raising issues of concern. During a Fiscal Court meeting held Tuesday night at the courthouse, county jailer Troy Seelye provided Fiscal Court with an update on the detention center. He said the jail generated $245,193 more than its projected revenue during last year’s budget. “Basically, the jail was self-sufficient last year,” he said. A large portion of the jail’s revenue, however, was powered by federal monies paid to the county jail for housing state inmates. In light of a recent house bill (HB 406), provisions have been made to the state inmate program that allow prisoners to be released in a shorter period of time. “With the state in a budget crunch … they don’t have the money to keep paying us to house (state inmates),” Seelye said. He explained that inmates who receive their GED in prison used to be granted 60 days off their sentence. HB 406 upped the ante to 93 days trimmed

Some may recall the temporary switch to a fourday work week that local governments across the nation enforced during the energy shortage of the 1970s. As history repeats itself, small towns and metropolises alike are looking again to shorten the length of the work week in an effort to spare fuel costs. City, county and state departments in Michigan, South Carolina, Alabama, California, New York and Ohio have made the shift to four, 10-hour work days last month, and some universities — like Okaloosa-Walton College in Florida — have shortened summer school to four days a week as well. Kentucky State University also implemented a four-day week for non-faculty employees.

Guston in 1865 and was later hung for his crimes. 4. Harold “Pee Wee” Reese — Old ballfield in Ekron. Born in Ekron, Harold “Pee Wee” Reese made his Major League Baseball debut in 1940. He spent 16 years with the Dodgers both in Brooklyn and L.A. (1940-58). He is credited with aiding Jackie Robinson’s integration into MLB, and was entered into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984. 5. John James Audubon — Otter Creek Park. Orthinologist, artist and naturalist John James Audubon traveled through the Otter Creek Park area regularly during his sketching trips in the early 1800s. Renowned for his prints, many of his famous “Birds of America” drawings are believed to have been sketched in Meade County. 6. Matthew E. Welsh — Matthew E. Welsh Bridge. The 41st governor of Indiana (1961-1965), Matthew E. Welsh was appointed as part-time chairman of the International Joint Commission on Waterways in 1965 by president Lyndon B. Johnson. The bridge, which connects Brandenburg to Mauckport, Ind., was dedicated to Welsh in 1966. 7. Thomas Lincoln — Doe
Run Inn. Father of president Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Lincoln moved his family to Hardin County, Kentucky, in 1802. He worked as a stone mason on the newer section of the mill at Doe Run Inn, which was constructed around the early 1800s. 8. Squire Boone — Doe Run Creek. Brother of famed pioneer Daniel Boone, Squire Boone discovered Doe Run Creek in 1778 with fellow explorer John McKinney. Doe Run Creek is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Boone died in 1815 and is buried inside Squire Boone Caverns in Mauckport, Ind. 9. Capt. James Meade — Meade County. Recognized for his bravery during the Battle of Tippecanoe (1811), 17th US Infantry Capt. James Meade was killed at the Battle of River Raisin in 1813.

Clark drew most of the maps during the trek, which lasted from 1804-1806. 11. Aaron Burr — Solomon Brandenburg’s tavern. After some dispute, the county seat of Meade County switched from Claysville to Brandenburg in 1825. The town was named after prominent businessman Solomon Brandenburg who owned a landing and ferry business. As the area prospered due to river access, several then-unknown historical figures visited Brandenburg’s highly-praised log tavern, including famous duelist and third vice president Aaron Burr. 12. Alexander “Frank” Franklin James — Meade County. Older brother of infamous outlaw Jesse James, Alexander “Frank” Franklin James sought refuge in Nelson County, Kentucky, after serving in what was then called “Beulaville” in Meade County during the Civil War.

The state pension systems are funded by employee and employer contributions as well as investment returns. The ARC represents the employer contribution. It is important to note that even when the General Assembly fully meets the ARC schedule in 2025, our unfunded liability will be even greater than it is now. This is why it is important to keep on reforming the system so that it will eventually look more like what is available in the private sector, that is, sustainable. For example, for two years now, the Senate in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way, passed legislation to implement a 401k-style plan as an option for future employees. I strongly believe that this will be where
we end up. In addition, the estimated cost of providing health care is approximately 54 percent of the unfunded liability. We must also identify strategies to provide incentives for state employees and pensioners to become better informed health care consumers.

Citizen safety priority at Gen. Assembly The first priority of any government is to make sure those it serves are protected. As important as good schools and well-maintained roads are, they mean little if those who use them do not feel safe. That is why the General Assembly spends a substantial amount of time each legislative session finding ways to improve the laws that govern our health and safety. That was certainly true this year, especially when it came to finding alternative and more affordable ways to punish those who have broken the law. Right now, we spend nearly a half-billion dollars a year to house about 22,400 prisoners, each of which costs us about $19,000 annually. While Kentucky is still considered a safe state in which to live, our prison population nonetheless grew at a rate faster than every other states’ last year, according to a report by the Pew Center on the States. The national average was 1.6 percent; ours was 12 percent. Within a decade, our prison population is expected to increase by another 8,000 people. The General Assembly took several steps this year
to begin tackling that. We increased the number of people on the Parole Board, so that cases can be handled in a more timely manner. We also made it possible for non-violent, non-sex offenders serving sentences for the two lower levels of felonies to spend their last 180 days under house arrest. The current limit is 90 days. Prisoners can also get time off for good behavior if they further their education, or if applicable, they complete a drug-treatment program. The growing prevalence of illegal drugs, meanwhile, led legislators to budget nearly $10 million over the next two years to increase substanceabuse treatment for offenders. Another positive step legislators took this year is to require all felons to provide DNA samples. This will include registered sex offenders and juveniles as young as 13 who are convicted of a violent or sex-related act. Kentucky State Police estimates this legislation could add 15,000 samples to the state’s database each year, and potentially solve up to 250 additional cases annually. There are some other new

Vietnam veteran finally receives high school diploma By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com
BRANDENBURG — As a result of legislation passed by the Kentucky General Assembly, Vietnam veteran Randall Bandy can now call himself a Meade County High School graduate. “I’m Randall Bandy and I’m a Vietnam veteran,â€? he said. “I live here in Meade County ‌ I’ve lived here all of my life.â€? During the monthly meeting of the Meade County Board of Education held Tuesday at the Board of Education, Superintendent Mitch Crump presented Bandy, who served in Vietnam in 1966, with his diploma, drawing fervent applause and honorable commentary from those in attendance including family, friends, board members and media. “People who took that risk ‌ took that chance early in their life to go out and de-

The trial period began July 1 and continues through Aug. 16, after which, the effects of the change will be evaluated to determine if the modification truly reduced costs. The Kentucky Secretary of State’s office is offering its employees a four-day work week during a trial period, though it is not mandatory, and Commonwealth schools discussed the possibility of fourday school weeks during a Kentucky School Board meeting held in Frankfort on June 12. In Meade County, there are no plans to implement

He also said approximately 200 old-fashioned farm engines were on display as well.
fend the greatest country in the world, the United States of America, need to be recognized for that,â€? Crump said. “I think that this particular legislation is one of the most enjoyable ones that I get to do ‌ in recognizing our veterans who were unable to attend high school, to graduate high school due to the services they provided years ago.â€? Dr. John Inman — Chairperson of the board for District 1 — briefly recalled his own years as a service member during the Vietnam War and offered a common understanding and appreciation to Bandy for his achievement. “You were there for us,â€? he said. “I know what a sacrifice you fellows made. For me, it’s a great pleasure to see the legislative bill do this for you.â€? “It’s an honor to be a small part of this,â€? said District 4 representative Belinda Cross. At the 2002 session of the Kentucky General Assembly, the first of several bills
— House Bill 45 — passed on April 2, directing school districts to issue high school diplomas to World War II veterans whose high school educations were interrupted by global conflicts. On April 12, 2004, House Bill 113 passed, extending the benefit to veterans of the Korean Conflict. House Bill 60 was passed by the Kentucky General Assembly and subsequently signed by Kentucky State Governor Ernie Fletcher (R) on March 5, 2005, adding those who were unable to complete their high school education due to service in the Vietnam War. “I want to congratulate you and commend you on your service of this country,� Crump said. “I present you with this high school diploma from the Meade County High School.� To qualify, each veteran must have been honorably discharged and must have been enrolled in a high school
prior to draft or entry into the Armed Forces and must have served during specified dates of World War II, the Korean Conflict, or the Vietnam War. Also present at the meeting was Fort Knox Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation/Child & Youth Services liaison Linda Woods, who has been working closely with BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) families who may be considering relocating to Meade County as a result of the initiative. “I live here in Meade County ‌ I have for 17 years now,â€? Woods said. “What I do at Fort Knox, is to help all of the military families that are coming to this area — many of them are moving to Meade County — we help them before they ever get here with information about the schools, what they will need to register (and) what the requirements will be for graduation at the high school. We try to connect students with students so
that they will have a sponsor when they get here. “(It has been found that) one of the biggest issues children have when they get to a new school is that they don’t have anyone to sit with at lunch. Just those kinds of things that we can help military children level the playing field coming into a new community. I’m glad to be here ‌ I’m glad to be in Meade County.â€? In a motion to approve the District Comprehensive Improvement Plan for the 2008 and 2009 school year, Meade County school’s Coordinator for Student Services, Peggy Darnall, reminded the board that the plan is a “living, breathing documentâ€? and subject to update, improvement and change throughout the year with a goal to provide “equity across the district.â€? “Our focus is student achievement and it continues to be,â€? Darnall said. “That’s what we’re all about. The
district plan is pretty broad in general, because school councils have to develop improvement plans aimed to fit under the goals and objectives of the district. We’re really excited about the work being done.� The board also discussed and moved to approve the following agenda items: Accounts payable payroll; construction fund payments; employees’ salary payrolls for July 17, 2008; review of monthly financial statements; superintendent’s personnel report; emergency substitute hire on TC-4; Change Order 8 and 9/MCHS auditorium and athletic addition; contracts; admission and release personnel; school meal prices, which were set at $1.75 for student lunches, $1.25 for student breakfast, and $2.75 for adult lunches, $1.85 for adult breakfast; textbooks purchasing plan K-8; district boundaries; the 2008 board policy first reading; and auction of a Chevy van and lawn mowers.
a four-day work week for employees, though Judge/ Executive Harry Craycroft said, “Never say never.� “I haven’t heard any intentions on doing that,� he said. “But my only real concern for the budget that just passed is fuel costs. How do you predict what they’ll be?� Craycroft said county department heads have received memos asking them to be as frugal as possible with fuel costs. Road departments in several states were the first agencies to begin the fourday work week, though Meade County Road Department Supervisor Mark Popham is uncertain how much a switch to a shortened work week would benefit his department. “The biggest thing if that
would happen is meeting daily emergencies,â€? Popham said. “People call with a road sign down or something and it’s a Friday when no one’s working then it would sit there until Monday ‌ especially during the winter with clearing roads. We have to be able to do it.â€? Though Popham said he would be open to trying a four-day work week, the only real benefit he sees is for his employees’ commute. “We could also incur some overtime expenses ‌ which the point (of a shortened work week) is to save money,â€? he said.
ployees consider the gas they save from commuting an extra day as a “bonus,� which some employers have said results in happier, more productive workers. Less sick days and lower turnover rates have also been reported by agencies that allow four-day work weeks. Businesses in Florida that participated in a recent study by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) reported saving nine to 22 percent on utilities, due to not using lights, office machines
and air conditioning for an entire day. Another report from the BBB indicates Wednesday are typically the most unproductive day of the week for businesses. Four-day work weeks that give employees Wednesdays off show “increased work ethic� and “slightly to moderately higher productivity� on Thursdays and Fridays.
of why some businesses opt to remain at five, eighthour days, as reported by the BBB. “Customers — which are mainly other businesses — depend on us to meet their deadlines,� said a packaging company representative in North Carolina. “Our shifts affect their productivity and sales.� Enthusiasm and tiredness are other core concerns stated by office managers, who feel 10-hour work days would drain employees’ work ethics.
Along with the antique tractor and farm machinery displays, maneuvering contests were held to showcase drivers’ skills as well as the versatility of the tractors. Other demonstrators used mule- or horse-drawn machines to demonstrate how fields were plowed and harvested in earlier times. A parade held Saturday boasted the 200 plus tractors, with a 20,000 pound 1914 Case steam engine hauled behind a semi-truck as the lead display. While moms and dads took the opportunity to browse
through vendors’ booths and tractor exhibits, children had the opportunity to ride a kiddy train and play various games. Pike said the activities offered to kids this year nearly doubled last year’s activities. The date for next year’s Threshing Days will be established during LTAP’s August meeting and will be announced soon after. “Normally we hold it the weekend after (July) Fourth,� Pike said. “But this year was so successful, we may hold it on the Fourth again next year.�

Along with hundreds of tractors and displays of farm equipment, Threshing Days attendees had the chance to browse through several vendor booths set up throughout Otter Creek Park near the nature center.

Americans mourn the passing of local community ‘angel’ By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com There are rarely times in life when one comes upon a person so profoundly powerful, tenacious and kind, that the exchange — however brief — etches itself into a finely woven silk of monumental memory. To many, Doe Valley resident Franklin A. Gulledge, Jr., was the epitome of such inspiration. On May 27, 2008, people around the country stood in shock and silent honor of Brandenburg’s fallen hero as he succumbed to a sudden heart attack at the age of 72. “We are all shocked by this sudden loss of a great man,” Anne Lawson wrote about Gulledge in a news release for Elizabethtown Flying Service, Inc., in Elizabethtown, Ky. “(He was an) enthusiastic supporter of general aviation, he gave so much of his time and talent throughout his career as a commercial pilot/CFI, training students and then donating his aircraft and pilot services to the Angel Flight organization.” Whether battling as a U.S. Marine Corps Major flying missions with the infamous Purple Foxes in Vietnam, or as the three time recipient of the Angel Flight Pilot of the Year for Kentucky and two
Good From page A1 off their sentence. Seelye also said the new bill removes seven days of an inmate’s sentence for every one month of good behavior, when previously, only five days were given per month. Some state inmates also qualify for home incarceration within the first 180 days of their sentence. “We’re getting notices of discharge on a daily basis,” Seelye said. “They’re trying to release all these state inmates and it’s really going to negatively affect us.” The county jail receives roughly $900 per month for each state inmate housed there. By losing 10 to 12 state inmates a month, the jail also loses $10,000 to $11,000 per month. Of the jail’s current 135 inmates, 74 are from the state. Seelye also said the jail is in need of some major repair work. “There’re are lot of structural issues as far as the jail has settled, there are cracks in the walls … the doors won’t close properly,” he said. “The building was built, I feel, in a poor spot.” Craycroft agreed, saying the jail itself had several issues and a “major overhaul” would be needed at some point. Following the jail update, Tony Coletta, the county’s recently appointed Planning and Zoning Administrator, addressed the court on two rezoning submissions that were discussed and voted upon during the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held in June. Magistrates unanimously approved Planning and Zoning’s recommendation to rezone less than .75 acres in Flaherty, Ky., from an exempt status to B-2. The request was made by Tony Brown Properties, LLC. The second item presented to Fiscal Court was approved by Planning and Zoning, though its vote went against Coletta’s recommendation to not issue the rezonement. County resident Carol Whitworth requested her property in the Carter Place Subdivision in Flaherty, Ky., be rezoned from R-1 to B-1. She offers tax preparation during tax season, and drafting and bookkeeping services for clients at any given time throughout the year. She planned to take her business outside her home and onto a non-adjoining structure on her property. After reviewing the request, Coletta told the Planning and Zoning committee that he did not recommend the rezonement during the June meeting. The basis for his decision was the technical interpretation of language re-
PHOTO COURTESY OF FRANKLIN GULLEDGE JR.
On May 27, 2008, sad news passed around the nation that Brandenburg’s own hero, Franklin A. Gulledge, Jr., succumbed to a sudden heart attack at the age of 72. time winner of the 2007 Angel Flight Pilot of the Year for the Mid-Atlantic states, “Uncle Frank” — as he was affectionately known worldwide — spent his life humbly creating a legacy of heartfelt goodwill that would succeed him long after his passing. “Frank did so many wonderful things for people,” said Gail Gulledge, widow of the highly decorated retired
Marine. Gulledge had come into The News Standard Office only a few weeks prior to his passing and was profiled for his philanthropic work on the front page of the May 2 issue. Charismatic and strong, Gulledge recounted his life and addressed his mission to use his gifts to assist those in need. “Life has been good to
garding rezoning a property to B-1, which is a “neighborhood business.” The county zoning ordinance states a “neighborhood business” must be a “convenience business which tends to meet the daily needs of the residents of the immediate neighborhood …” Coletta said he did not feel Whitworth’s business met that criteria, though Planning and Zoning approved the rezoning without his consent. Fiscal Court debated the issue and allowed Whitworth — who was in attendance — to speak. The recommendation to approve the rezonement eventually failed, with magistrates Tom Goddard, Herbie Chism, Tony Staples and Craycroft casting dissenting votes. Magistrates Mark Hubbard and Steve Wardrip voted in favor of the rezonement. The final reading of the county’s amended Comprehensive Plan was also given during Tuesday’s meeting. Five changes were made to the document, most of which were drafted to address the county’s close proximity to Fort Knox. Representatives from HNTB — a designing and planning firm that worked with Meade County to draft the plan — were on hand to discuss the amendments. Tom West, an HNTB spokesman, reminded Fiscal Court that the Comprehensive Plan was simply a proposed action plan. No legal action can be taken if provisions within it are not met, since it is only a suggested course of progress. Ordinances would have to be made in order for provisions within the plan to become lawfully enforceable. Craycroft thanked HNTB, the steering committee, Planning and Zoning Commission members, and Fort Knox representative Peter Hill, for their diligent work in hashing out the final document. Meade County Recycle Center Coordinator Mark Gossett also addressed the court, stating the department received $66,000 in proceeds from a recent auction of surplus equipment. Gossett asked for $16,000 to be used to purchase two satellite recycle containers and a liftgate for one of the vehicles. Gossett has formed a new initiative to have county schools recycle more of their white paper by placing 95gallon containers — which were donated by Wayne Smith of Waste Transport, Inc., the company that recently took over the county’s trash collection — near printers and photocopy machines within the schools. He said the remaining $50,000 of the proceeds from the auction would be applied to the debt the Solid Waste
and Recycle Center owes the county. Magistrate Chism said money for the equipment should come from the department’s budget and all $66,000 from the auction should be applied to the debt. Gossett asked the court to allow his budget to stand as is, and to use the auction proceeds. With the county no longer in the trash collection business, Gossett said the 2008 fiscal year’s budget consisted of a lot of guesswork, since numbers needed to be based solely on recycling. “Let me try this budget,” Gossett said. “We didn’t have any history to go by. I don’t have any idea what expenses are going to be, but we gave it our best shot at it … I would like to keep the money that’s set aside (in the budget) there because I don’t know what expenses may come up. We have an ancient fleet … and last month one of the trucks caught on fire, so there went $12,000 right there.” Chism said before the county contracted out its trash collection services, Fiscal Court said it would use all proceeds from auctioning the equipment to offset the debt. Craycroft said Gossett and his department have done a tremendous job to pay down its debt to the county. What used to be more than $700,000 owed to the county is now down to less than $189,000 after an approximate $250,000 write-off issued by Fiscal Court. “We’re as interested in getting the debt paid off as anybody else,” Gossett said. “We’re making an effort to do what we can do.” He said he plans to apply $60,000 a year to the debt over the next two to three years, until the debt is nil. Gossett’s request to use $16,000 of the auction proceeds toward purchasing the new equipment passed with a 5-1 vote. Chism cast the sole dissenting vote. Also addressed during Tuesday’s meeting: •After a tough decision, magistrates voted to donate a surplus county ambulance to the Battletown Volunteer Fire Department. Both Battletown and Muldraugh fire departments showed interest in receiving the ambulance due to their lack of adequate first response vehicles. Magistrates said they wished two ambulances were available to give to both departments. In the end, the vote passed 4-2 with Goddard and Staples favoring Muldraugh. The 25-mile radius Battletown first responders have to travel to reach residents is what the deciding factor was for most magistrates. Muldraugh is slated to receive the next county surplus ve-
me,” Gulledge said in his last interview before his untimely death. “I enjoy flying and I enjoy helping people. As long as I can pass my aviation physical — I do that once a year — and as long as I am still comfortable and have my faculties about me, I will continue to do this.” Sorrow at the loss is echoed in the sentiments of those who knew him. “We have lost a great man, and one with a tremendous big heart,” said Kathy Packard of Misty Meadows Farm, who knew Frank and Gail Gulledge both as friends and customers. “All I could do was cry when I heard.” All across the country, sympathetic and heartwarming entries are finding their way to online blogs as the word spreads about the great humanitarian loss of Uncle Frank. From Florida, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, California, and Montana, to Virginia, Ohio, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and beyond, those who Gulledge touched will not soon forget the impact he left nor the imprint to continue his work. “Frank’s giving nature and unselfish service to others has been an inspiration to all of us,” wrote one grieving comrade. “His contributions
to the ‘(Purple) Foxes’ are immeasurable. Everything he did on our behalf was a labor of love. We are forever in his debt. I am a better person for having known him.” As a childhood schoolmate from first grade at Mill Creek to the 12th grade at Valley High School in Louisville, Proctor Sherwood Burress — now a resident of Lexington — recalled several alumni reunions he attended with Gulledge over the years, and fondly recalled the “star” of the Valley High School senior play. “I wrote the family and quoted the great Bard (William Shakespeare/Romeo and Juliet),” Burress said. “‘And, when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine, that all the world will be in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.’ “Franklin flew near the stars on many mercy flights,” he said. “He was the ‘star’ of our Valley High School senior play, ‘Meet Arizona, A Dude Ranch Operetta.’ He had any number of starring roles and he assumed them all with panache, warmth and grace.” Nostalgically, Burress reminisced about the last time the two met, at their 50th Valley
High School Reunion, where Gulledge gave him a hug for bringing a classic collection of Jazz spanning more than 50 years. “It was a small ‘thanks’ that I will never forget,” he said. “(If I had the chance) I would say again, “dear Franklin, none of us can make that last flight with you, although we would all have wished to be your co-pilot.” There are no limits to the number of missions Gulledge can fly now. He has earned “angel wings” of his own with immeasurable potential. There are no boundaries, for as he touched so many in life, he will forever be fondly remembered in death and will continue to inspire throughout the ages.

How do we explain his lack of concern? Was it because he didn’t love me or because he was an uninvolved parent? No. He was a wonderful father throughout my childhood. Instead, his answer reflected the time in which I grew up. People worried about the Depression that was just ending, and the war with Germany and Japan, and later the Cold War with Russia. They did not invest much effort in hand-wringing over their children — at least not until some kind of problem developed. Trouble was not anticipated. And why not? Because there were fewer land mines for kids in that era. I attended high school during the “Happy Days� of
the 1950s, and I never saw or even heard of anyone taking an illegal drug. It happened, I suppose, but it was certainly no threat to me. Some students liked to get drunk, but alcohol was not a big deal in my social environment. Others played around with sex, but the girls who did were considered “loose� and were not respected. Virginity was still in style for males and females. Occasionally a girl came up pregnant, but she was packed off in a hurry and I never knew where she went. Most of my friends respected their parents, went to church on Sunday, studied hard enough to get by and lived a fairly clean life. There were exceptions, of course, but this was the
norm. Today’s kids, by contrast, are walking through the Valley of the Shadow! Drugs, sex, alcohol and rebellion are everywhere. Those dangers have never been so evident as they are now, and the worst may be yet to come. QUESTION: Do you think children between five and ten should be allowed to listen to rock music on the radio, TV or CDs? DR. DOBSON: Not if it can be avoided. Today’s contemporary music is an expression of an increasingly unsavory adolescent culture. The lyrics often deal with drug use, sex, and violence. This is just what you don’t want your seven-year-old thinking about.
Instead, his or her entertainment should consist of adventure books, children’s productions, Bible stories and other Christian literature, and family activities — camping, fishing, sporting events, games, etc. On the other hand, it is unwise to appear dictatorial and oppressive in such matters. I would suggest that you keep your preteen so involved with wholesome activities that he does not need to dream of the days to come. Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 www.family.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Solid Answers� and “Bringing Up Boys,� both published by Tyndale House.
Saints: Ordinary people with extraordinary goodness
Then the saints will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. —Matthew 13:43
Every Nov. 1, Catholics celebrate the memory of the innumerable and nameless men and women who have been welcomed into the Kingdom of God. It is one of my favorite feasts. We tend to think of “saints� as dead people who did great things for God. We tend to think of them as super-human personalities whom we put on pedestals to admire. In New Testament times,

The fourth is a retired African American man who has stayed in touch from my Cathedral days. He is truly a gentle man. Like the widow in the temple, this man gives from his want. Like the woman who anointed the feet of Jesus, he is lavish with his compliments and affirmations. He loves to see people succeed. Humble to the core, he is one of God’s anawim. Like this feast of all saints, today’s saints are too many to count. Father Knott, a Meade County native, is a priest from the Archdiocese of Louisville.

He says that he is an agnostic, but I don’t believe it.

BUSINESS Step up to the ‘slab’ at Frankie J’s Pit Stop Friday, July 11, 2008
A8 - The News Standard
By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com Deep in the heart of Meade County, husband and wife culinary team Frank W. and Mary E. Boyd are busily stoking a smoky fire pit to perfection. Outside of their renovated “church-turnedroadside eatery,” the duo are preparing to create one of the counties newest, most mouth watering treats this side of the Ohio … a delicacy which would have even Robin “The Boy Wonder” shouting “holy barbecue, Batman!” Frankie J’s Pit Stop — located at 9150 Highway 60 West in Guston, Ky. — opened its carryout window on June 20 to local rave reviews. While some might find it odd to open a restaurant in what was once a church, Mary Boyd feels that the location was a blessing sent directly from above. “This location has been a gift to us,” Mary Boyd said. The Boyds’ daughter, Kim Anderson, was dating the owner of the location when a family gathering brought up the idea for the restaurant. “We came for Thanksgiving and I said, ‘This would be a nice place to open up a kitchen,’” Frank Boyd said. “He said, ‘If you want it, you can have it.’ That was the start of my dream. I always wanted to own my own business … and I love cooking. I grew up watching my granddaddy and my uncle barbecue every year. They’d get a whole hog and smoke it. I fancied after my uncle who loved to barbecue.” Specializing in barbecued ribs and fresh pan-fried catfish caught straight from Lake Barkley in the Land Between the Lakes regions of western Kentucky, this family-owned and operated eatery brings the taste of the south to residents with tried and true down-home cooking … and a side order of charisma.

TOP: “I always wanted to own my own business,” said Frank W. Boyd. His expert skills have been tried and tested serving such luminaries as Bill Gates, Newt Gingrich and President George W. Bush.
LEFT: Specializing in barbecued ribs and fresh pan-fried catfish, Frank W. and Mary E. Boyd’s eatery brings the taste of the south to residents with tried and true down-home cooking … with a side order of charisma. Frank Boyd started out as a young man in Cadiz, Ky., located in Trigg County, saturated with a determination to succeed and surpass all expectations of a young male in small town Americana. His dreams lead him to join the Armed Forces and attain a GI bill to attend college in California, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Radio and Communications from San Francisco State University in 1982. It wasn’t long after, that Boyd found steady work at a high profile radio station in the bay area, courting the likes of Def Jam Records founder Russell Simmons and finding himself sitting beside music icons such as Rick James — with whom he had a photo
taken — and ‘80s soul diva Teena Marie. Boyd was even named the 1982 “Disc Jockey of the Year” by The SunReporter of San Francisco and was presented with his award by then mayor — now senator — Dianne Feinstein. After his exciting years in California, Boyd came home to Kentucky to work at WLKY television in Louisville, but a brief stint to Atlanta to stoke his culinary fires during the 1996 summer Olympics, brought the native son back to Kentucky with a renewed hunger to produce the foods he loved. “That’s where it all began,” Frank Boyd said. Soon after, Boyd was working for national culinary specialists “Centerplate” at
such high profile locations as Churchill Downs, the Louisville Fairgrounds, Slugger Field, and Papa Johns Stadium — all in Louisville. Then on May 21, 2003, he found himself assigned to an elite staff specially selected to manage and serve at a presidential dinner in Washington D. C. in honor of President George W. Bush and his nearly 7,000 hungry guests. He has also catered to the likes of Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former Speaker of the House (R-GA) Newt Gingrich. Mary Boyd is a homegrown Louisvillian who has enjoyed cooking her entire life — to include cooking for the family’s combined total of 18 children and more than
reputation. “Everybody loves that cobbler,” Frank Boyd said. “That goes fast!” A family venture in the making, the location will also include an outside miniature putt-putt golf course and daughter Kim Anderson will be opening a fitness center in what was once the chapel area of the church in the near future. “You can eat some great barbecue and then work it off all in the same place,” Mary Boyd said with a laugh. At the end of the day, the Boyds say barbecue and family go hand in hand. Both enjoy the satisfaction of their customers and relish the smiles their food delivers to all who taste it. “I enjoy being outside barbecuing and smelling the fresh country air,” Frank Boyd said. “To see people enjoying our food … it brings such satisfaction. To see the smiles on their faces, the reaction we get. Good food … is love.” Frankie J’s Pit Stop is located at 9150 Highway 60 West in nearby Guston, Ky., and is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. until 7:30 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, customers receive $1 off all dinner purchases. Frankie J’s Pit stop also offers free delivery of meals of five orders or more for Meade County residents, and for meal orders of 10 or more for Hardin County residents.

New O’Reilly Auto Parts store welcomed to the neighborhood Staff Report The News Standard O’Reilly Auto Parts in Brandenburg held its grand opening on July 8 at 11 a.m. In attendance was store regional manager Curt Miles, district manager Butch Galloway, store manager David Howard, Brandenburg Mayor David Pace, Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Russ Powell, store employees, family and friends. The new store is located in the previous Brandenburg Auto Value building at 2070 ByPass Road, which was purchased earlier this year by O’Reilly, according to a news release. Howard said the store employs five staff members and is only one of more than 1,800 locations across 26 states. O’Reilly Auto Parts will hold drawings for prizes
30 grandchildren — over the last several decades and says her recipes are simply successes of “trial and error.” “Nobody passed these recipes down to me,” she said. “It’s trial and error.” Mary Boyd brings the “spice” to the operation Frank Boyd said, testing and creating unique tastes aimed to please. But don’t ask her for the recipe to the Frankie J’s barbecue sauce … her lips are sealed. “It’s secret,” she said. “Very secret.” “She won’t even tell me,” Frank Boyd said with a hearty laugh. The Boyds believe in specializing items and keeping their menu minimal. Stating that being “unique” in an already oversaturated industry is key to a successful venture, the Boyds decided to offer up what they knew best, in the simplest setting — carryout. “We wanted to do carryout,” Mary Boyd said. “We didn’t want to get into fried chicken and all of those various kinds of food. We wanted to be different. We wanted to keep it simple … and keep it good.” “The freshness of our food is the most important thing,” Frank Boyd said. “That’s why I get my catfish live from Lake Barkley.” Serving delectables such as a whole or half-slab of barbecued ribs, barbecue sandwiches, and rib dinners (which include two sides, bread, Mary Boyd’s famous secret sauce, and Frank’s smoky ribs), catfish plates, dinner or just a sandwich, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and homemade green beans, potato salad, coleslaw, and macaroni salad, customers can call and pre-order, or come by and order from the window. But make sure to not leave without an order of Mary Boyd’s specialty peach or apple cobbler — which has developed an exquisite

Effectively manage weeds in pastures and hayfields By Andy Mills CEA for Agriculture and Natural Resources
Several factors affect management decisions on whether to initiate weed control in a grass pasture or hayfield. These include the type of weeds present, their life cycles and control tactics. It is also important to manage pastures to promote growth of desirable forage species that will compete with weedy-type plants. Weeds compete with desirable forage species for light, water and nutrients. Undesirable weeds may diminish the quality and palatability of forages. In addition, some weeds are potentially poisonous. However, not all weeds are bad. Some weedy plants have nutritional value, especially if grazed when they are young and actively growing. For these reasons, the type of weeds present may affect control decisions. It is also important to note weed life cycles when considering control. When done at the proper time, mowing or clipping is an effective way to limit the spread of undesirable plants by preventing or reduc-

Repeated mowing can help suppress some perennial weed species, though low-growing plants such as dandelions and crabgrass may be more prevalent in frequently mowed pastures. ing seed production. Begin mowing when weeds are in the stem elongation stage, but before flower production. Frequent, repeated mowing can help suppress some perennial weed species. However, mowing does not inhibit all weeds. Lowgrowing plants such as dandelions and crabgrass may be more prevalent in frequently mowed pastures. Herbicides are another weed-control option to con-
sider. They can be effective in some situations, but may be cost prohibitive for some weed problems. Herbicides used during the mid-summer months have a greater potential to injure nearby sensitive vegetation such as tobacco, vegetable gardens and ornamental plants, particularly when air temperature and humidity are high. Manage pastures and hayfields to promote vigorous growth of desirable for-
age species while creating unfavorable conditions for unwanted plants. Effective pasture management should include practices to maintain the proper soil pH and fertility levels, sustain grasses with a rotational grazing system without over-grazing, allow new seedlings to become well established before use, and renovating when needed. In any weed management program for grass pastures and hayfields, considering and using a variety of control tactics is most effective. For more information, contact the Meade County Extension Office at 422-4958. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or nation origin.

Meade County Sheriff Department 6-12-08 7:30 a.m. Franklynn Raymer of Vine Grove, Ky., and Demetrius Shouse of Louisville were both traveling north on 31W. Shouse was driving a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville and was making a right turn on Wendall Street when Raymer, in a 2005 Chevrolet C/K 1500, hit him from behind. Raymer stated his brakes failed; this officer’s opinion felt Raymer was following too closely. Moderate damage; no injuries reported. Report 08-0149 filed by Officer McCubbin. 6-24-08 6:04 p.m. James Warren of Brandenburg was stopped on 1638 in a 2002 Chevrolet Van waiting to make a right hand turn onto Gaines Road. James Higbee, also of Brandenburg, in a 1992 Chevrolet S-10, then hit Warren in the rear end, knocking him off of the roadway and into a tree stump. Higbee then spun into oncoming westbound traffic, making James Volk, of Olney, Ill., in a 2008 Ford F-350, go into a ditch. Warren and Higbee were both injured. Higbee admitted to having been drinking prior to the accident. A cooler of beer and an open beer container were found in his vehicle. A field sobriety test was given to Higbee, after which he complained of chest pains and was cited, then transported to the hospital. A state trooper was waiting for him at the hospital to conduct a blood alcohol test. Results are pending. Minor to severe damage to all three vehicles; first aid was given at the scene, injured party taken to Hardin Memorial Hospital by Meade County EMS. Report 08-0156 was filed by Officer Matti. 6-25-08 5:37 a.m. Joyce Riley of Brandenburg was traveling eastbound on KY 1638 in a 1991 Chevrolet Caprice when a deer ran directly into her path, causing a collision.

He then left the roadway, skidding another 362 feet before striking a utility pole. The surface of the road was wet due to earlier rain. He claims he was bumped in the rear by a Jeep, which caused him to leave the road, but the Jeep was examined and no evidence of contact was found on the front of that vehicle. Major contributing factors appear to be Skipworth’s
emotional state, excessive speed and driving too fast for conditions. Moderate damage; no injuries reported.

Flash Flood Safety Tips Flash floods and floods are the #1 storm related killer in Kentucky and across the United States. • If Driving, DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS! Even if it looks shallow enough to cross. The majority of deaths due to flooding are from people driving through flooded areas. Water only one foot deep and displace 1500 pounds! Two feet of water can easily carry most vehicles. Roadways concealed by floodwaters may not be intact. • If caught outside, go to higher ground immediately! Avoid small rivers or streams, low spots, culverts, or ravines. • Don’t try to walk through flowing water more than ankle deep. It only takes six inches of water to knock you off your feet. • Do not allow children to play around streams, drainage ditches, or viaducts, storm drains, or other flooded areas.

Little League teams vie for state tournament seeds and more By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com Meade County was host to the nine-year-old and 10-year-old little league district tournaments this week, and next week as well. The top two teams of the district tournament will advance to the state tournament in Edmonton, Ky. In the 10-year-old division, two teams represent Meade County: The White Team and The Green Team. Last year, the Green Team finished second in the district and then finished fifth in the state in the nine-year-old division. It also earned a few tournament wins to close out the season. “We had a good summer last year,” said Rob Durbin, head coach of the Green Team. “But we’re looking to win the district this year.”

rulings too far
For the most part sports are objective — rules are definitively black and white. There are clearcut winners and Good Call there are clearcut losers. However, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association needs to have a little more subBen jectivity when it comes to gov- Achtabowski erning its sports, especially after its rulings regarding transfer laws with high school student-athletes. In a world vast in diversity, there are not many black and white areas; instead there are many shades of gray — situations that involve reason and delicate decision-making for individual circumstances. When it comes to transferring schools and playing sports, the shade of gray has been divided into black and white by the KHSAA. Through a series of recent rulings, the KHSAA has made educational reasons not a viable motive to transfer schools. This is probably the most controversial of their decisions. The second most controversial decision is the KHSAA recognizing divorce, but not legal separation, as a causation for moving from one parent to another, which may result in a student transferring from one school to another. To backtrack, transfer rules state that if an athlete moves to another school he or she must sit out one year of athletic competition — a ruling which, of course, deters athletes from moving to another school to play for a better team. This is the rule in the KHSAA handbook, verbatim: “Any student who played in ‘any varsity game in any sport at any school’ after entering the ninth grade and then transfers is ineligible to play any sport at any level for one year. Exceptions include students who move with their family prior to enrolling at the new school, students whose parent has died or whose parents have divorced, and students ordered to move in child protection cases.” This is essentially a form of salary capping high school athletics. It’s to diffuse recruiting and “stacking” of high school teams. I completely agree with keeping high school athletics on an even playing field. There’s nothing worse than seeing a dominate school win at every sport, every year. That seems to happen a lot in Kentucky, where several sports are dominated by St. Xavier and Trinity in Louisville. But the KHSAA also needs to realize it’s overstepping boundaries by disallowing students from playing the sport they love because of extenuating circumstances.
STUDENT-athletes
College sports have always fallen under scrutiny about college student-athletes being much more athlete than student. That notion has now trickled down into high school sports where athletes are being recruited to play for certain teams or transfer to different schools for the sake of

League From page B1 The Meade County Green Team looked to continue its solid postseason play this year as it matched up against Clarkston on Monday night at Ramsey Field. The Green Team won convincingly, 10-3. Casey Jarrell hit a homerun over the fence, while on defense, Preston Smiley had an amazing backwarddiving catch from the shortstop position. The Green Team used four pitchers throughout the six-inning game. Smiley started the game and threw three scoreless innings. Lane Snyder then came in for relief along with Jarrell. Josh Durbin then closed the game. “We played really well,” Rob Durbin said. “We’re a tough team to beat.” On Monday night, the Meade County White team made the game interesting against Larue County. In the fifth inning, they loaded the bases while down by four runs. But the potential rally was stopped by Larue, giving the White Team the loss, 9-4 The White Team left bases loaded three times throughout the night. The players will have to battle back through the loser ’s bracket during the rest of the tournament. Their next game was scheduled for Wednesday night. In the nine-year-old division, the Meade County Madness team looked to make another long run into the playoffs during the opening game of the tournament on Tuesday night at Meade Olin Park. Last year, the team claimed the Ohio Valley Region Championship in the eight-year-old machine pitch division. Now
the team goes into its first year of kid-pitch, which adds a completely different dimension to the game. The team looked like a well-oiled machine during warm-ups. However, due to weather, the team could only get one inning in against Elizabethtown before the game was postponed for another day. Here are the rosters for each team:

sports alone. The essence of high school sports is to give high schoolers a chance to compete in the sport they love for the school they attend. High school athletics should be an extension of their education. The majority of student-athletes will not play at the next level of competition; therefore, high school athletics are used to instill edification in teamwork, sportsmanship, dedication and various other useful life lessons. Sports are also a way for many students to stay off the streets; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a way to stay focused and feel like a part of something meaningful, or just a way to feed that innate competitive edge. They play for the passion of the game, nothing more, nothing less. But coaches and players are now burdened with the pressures of money and winning percentages. The KHSAA rulings that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize education as a reason to transfer have reinforced the stereotype that student-athletes are athletes first and students second. With the economy running its downhill course, housing has forced many families to move, or pull their children out of private institutions. Because of these situations, the student-athletes are forced to sit out one year because their families had to move to a different area or switch to a public school.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like the Toughman contest where guys just go at it with no rules,â&#x20AC;? Schapmire said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skillful fighting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical.â&#x20AC;? The fight bill already has 12 fights scheduled and may have more or less depending on injuries. Schapmire feels the most anticipated fights will be the heavyweight fights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some reason, people like to see big guys fight,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In boxing, people like heavyweight fights and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same in MMA. Personally, I like the smaller guys because they are more technical and a little more entertaining on the skill and technical side.â&#x20AC;? The event will have several local fighters including, Nathen Dailey from Vine Grove, Ky., Michael Schapmire from Vine Grove, Ky., Jamie Evens from Radcliff, Ky., and Frank Adkins from Guston, Ky. All the fighters are amateurs, but they are competing for an amateur record
Punishing students for something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of their hands is wrong, especially considering they are in high school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a very vulnerable time of their lives â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when moving to a new school throws them into a sea of unyielding judgmental cliques. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know their classmates or teachers, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unable to compete in sports â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the one thing they love and is familiar to them. Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t KHSAA more subjective toward individual cases? Why draw a line that students canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to a different school for educational purposes? What about a student who wants to go to a technical school thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geared more for his or her future career aspirations? The KHSAA should realize that these kids are students first and education is more important than a ball game. But then again, maybe the KHSAA canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the gray areas, maybe it only sees black and white ... oh, and green â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the color of money.
Illegal-legal separation Apparently, the KHSAA also likes to pour salt into open wounds. Divorce and separation are not pleasant for anyone, especially children. Many times teens are thrown into awkward situations at home and have to be placed with one parent or the other. The KHSAA only recognized divorce as a viable reason to transfer to another school. What about the long process of getting that divorce? Even though in the eyes of the law, the parents are legally separatthat will enable them to possibly turn pro. Amateurs have to train and have a respectable record before being considered a professional in their sport. Making Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event legitimate was Schapmireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utmost concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to a fight in (Elizabethtown, Ky.) and it was terrible,â&#x20AC;? Schapmire said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked like they just picked up people off the street who had no technical training. I wanted to put a legitimate show on. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want MMA to get a bad reputation. I wanted to get this event rolling and get something that was legitimate.â&#x20AC;? The event will also bring fundraising to the Meade County High School Wrestling Program. There will be raffles and giveaways that will help support the Greenwave team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? Schapmire said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an event for a bunch of macho guys, this is an event the whole family will enjoy.â&#x20AC;? Along with the fights, Louisville rap artist PTG will perform with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Etown Dancers.â&#x20AC;? A DJ will also provide music as the

ed, the righteous KHSAA needs more proof to let a child play a game. The KHSAA should look at each situation individually. There is no need to further punish a child who is already going through turmoil at home. Let the kids play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they need it.
Actions of a few I completely understand why the KHSAA is making these rules: It wants to avoid students attending schools strictly for athletics. But high school athletics should not fall victim to capitalistic ways. School sports are not programs that should feed on the strong surviving and the weak perishing. Rules need implementing that governs opportunistic parties, but KHSAA needs to cut some slack on those who cannot avoid certain situations. There are players, parents and coaches who take advantage of the system and try to find loopholes, in order to take advantage of the system and get their child on a winning team or in a better program. There have been cases of parents legally separating just to transfer the kid to a different school. There are definitely students who transfer to schools for athletic reasons rather than education purposes. But there will always be those anomalies and they need to be dealt with accordingly. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t punish the innocent. The KHSAA should learn some subjectivity and leave the objectivity to your referees. Let the kids play ball.

What sports reveal about presidential candidates By Mark Vasto A Sporting View John McCain has always been a fighter; Barack Obama has always had drive and determination. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to only look at their respective political careers to see this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can also look to the world of athletics for more perspective. By now, most voters are aware of the Republican McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war record as a pilot and prisoner during the Vietnam War. Many know of him as a maverick, and fellow sailors remember his days as a boxer at the Naval Academy. Sports fans know him to have ringside seats. (Yes, that was McCain with wife Cindy at the Oscar de la Hoya/Floyd Mayweather rumble.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are probably more strict rules in boxing than in politics,â&#x20AC;? the 71-yearold McCain likes to joke, but his record in the Senate shows that he takes the sport very seriously. For more than a decade, McCain has worked to pass laws relating to the reform of the sport. In 1996, he was a key sponsor of a bill that required medical care for boxers. In 2000, he backed legislation that banned conflicts of interest among promoters and managers. He has also worked to create a national commission for the sport and vows to continue trying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that gets me so involved is the exploitation of the boxers,â&#x20AC;? McCain said in a 2004 ESPN interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With rare exception, (boxers) come from the lowest rung on our economic ladder, are least educated and are left many times
after some years in the sport mentally impaired and financially broke.â&#x20AC;? For Barack Obama, the 46-year-old Democratic senator from Illinois, a love of basketball has been one constant in a constantly changing life. One of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earliest memories was of receiving a gift at age eight from his absentee father: a brand-new basketball. His high-school basketball coach at the Punahou School in Hawaii, Chris McLachlin, remembers how hard Obama worked on his game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can remember him being here early and playing before school,â&#x20AC;? McLachlin reminisced in an ABC News interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shooting baskets during recess or at lunchtime. I remember him shooting baskets after school. I remember him being, probably, in the gym when he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be ... he just had to shoot.â&#x20AC;? Obama â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who wore No. 23 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; plays basketball almost every morning while on the campaign trail. Superstitiously, he plays a little on the morning of every election. And while he won a championship in high school, he concedes that his love of the game was better than his overall game. So whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roundball or the squared circle of the ring, Democrat or Republican, remember the old axiom before pulling the lever in November: Nothing reveals so much about us as how we play the games we play.

Cadaver ACL replacement fails more with younger athletes
From page B1 Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. and in 2009 he’ll have an extra-super team thanks to the acquisition of Martin. Martin, who has 35 career Sprint Cup victories, has run a partial schedule the last two seasons for Ginn Racing and Dale Earnhardt Inc., but the 20-year veteran will come out of semi-retirement for a year in 2009, before returning to his partial schedule in 2010. “I got a kick of how this process went because I didn’t really think that it was going to be a full schedule for a while,” Martin said. “But this is a big deal to me. It’s not something you could recreate. I told (wife) Arlene when we talked about this, I’m pretty sure that the last breath I took on my death bed would be, ‘I should have drove Rick’s car when I had the chance.’ I didn’t want to do that or regret that until the last breath I took.” National Football League star Randy Moss also caused a couple of double takes and deep breaths with his presence. Moss was at Daytona International Speedway to let NASCAR Nation know he had bought 50 percent of a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team and that it would be named Randy Moss Motorsports. The standout receiver for the New England Patriots will attend his first race as an owner at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta on July 19th. “You know, actually its really a dream come true because maybe last five or six years I have been really interested in joining NASCAR, but really didn’t know what steps to take,”

Mark Martin (left) talks to Aric Almirola (right) before the Pepsi 400 at Daytona. Moss said. “But now that I finally took those steps and really teamed up with a great team. Now the only thing we can do is to just wait and see what happens at the end of the season.” Willie Allen will drive the truck at Kentucky, but David Dollar, who sold 50 percent of the team to Moss, said they will go with various drivers, until they land on one to run for the championship next season. The former MorganDollar Motorsports teams represents the Oakland Raiders era of Moss’ long, decorated career. Dollar and former owner Rob Morgan were among the feared in the NASCAR’s Double-A leagues just three years ago. For six straight seasons they won at least one race every season and there was a run from 2003-05 where the team was three-time runners-up for the championship, but they haven’t won in two years and are currently 17th in points. “Racing’s a funny business and we all know that,” Dollar said. “It’s peaks and valleys. We had a heck of a roll going there. Last year was the first year I went winless and unfortunately there’s a lot of factors that goes into it.
“It goes back to testing and funding and recruiting the right people.’’ Randy Moss Motorsports will allot young drivers an opportunity for now, something that Martin is doing as well. Martin, who has tutored youngster Aric Almirola over the last two seasons, said Almirola is ready and it is Almirola who will drive the No. 8 Dale Earnhardt Inc. Chevrolet fulltime next season. “I had so much fun this year driving the eight car that I really would have loved to have driven a 26 race schedule again next year, but that would not have been fair to Aric Almirola,” Martin said. “Aric is ready to be a fulltime Cup driver and I felt like it was my responsibility and the right thing to do to get out of his way. And so that being said, when I looked at the field, the climate, the options or possible opportunities to drive a limited schedule out there and drive cars on a limited schedule that could win. I didn’t see anything that was nearly as attractive as going and driving the five car. “And if it took driving it full time to get it, I was, you know, that was what I was going to do.’’
ORLANDO, Fla. — With an estimated 80,000 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears happening each year in the United States (Source: American Journal of Sports Medicine 2006; 9:1512-1532), including recently to famed golfer Tiger Woods, choosing the best replacement ligament for surgery is one key to success. A study released at the 2008 American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine’s Annual Meeting at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, found that with a failure rate of almost 24 percent, the use of cadaver replacement ligaments may not be the best choice for young, athletic patients. “Choosing a replacement ligament, whether it comes from a cadaver or the patient’s own tissue is a decision that must be made by the surgeon and patient,” said co-author Kurre Luber, MD, orthopedic surgery fellow at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Or-

thopaedic Center. “This study found a very high failure rate in patients 40 years and younger with high activity levels in ACL-dependent sports like tennis, basketball, soccer and downhill skiing. “Certainly, it would be naïve to think that only the graft selection led to these failures, we also need to look at surgical technique (single versus double bundle). Better outcome measures also need to be developed. “However, this study definitely raises questions about the validity of using cadaver tissue in this patient subgroup.” The ACL is one of the major stabilizing ligaments of the knee. Located in the center of the knee joint, it runs from the thigh bone to the shin bone through the center of the knee. Typically, tearing the ACL occurs with a sudden direction change. To repair a torn ACL, a surgeon replaces the damaged ligament with a new one, either from a cadaver or the patient’s own body. Typically, either the patellar-tendon bone or the hamstring tendons is used. In the study, 64 patients, 40 years old or younger with high activity levels who had ACL reconstruction with a cadaver replacement ligament, were followed for a minimum of two years. ACL reconstruction failure was defined as requiring a second reconstruction due to injury or graft failure or poor scores on a combination of orthopaedic outcome measure tests. The study found that 15 (23.4 percent) of the 64 patients’ ACL reconstructions failed as defined by the study. “This failure rate in this young, active population is exceedingly high when compared to a previous study that looked at failure rates of cadaver replacement ligament in patients older than 40,” said corresponding author Dr. Gene Barrett. “The older group’s failure rate was 2.4 percent. “So while there are obvious benefits of using the cadaver ligament, like avoiding a second surgical site on the patient, a quicker return to work and less postoperative pain, for a young patient who is very active, it may not be the right choice.”

Strategies for night fishing success Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission
FRANKFORT — Not all of us can afford or have the room for a glittery bass boat, johnboat, canoe or float tube to indulge in our fishing hobby. We fish from the bank. Although we may feel left behind on shore, bank anglers may have an advantage during the long, hot days of summer because the best time to fish for bass is night and the bank is the easiest place to night fish. Fishing from shore in the darkness is easier because an angler can concentrate on detecting strikes and catching fish, not boat positioning, kicking gear off the casting deck, or stepping on an expensive fishing rod. The bank is also the most stable platform from which to fish. Plus, the fact that you must carry all of your gear forces you to fish hard with what you have and not worry as much about lure colors or styles. If bass anglers spent more time fishing with lures instead of changing them, they would catch many more fish. There is likely a good night bass fishing spot just a short drive from your house. Smaller lakes are the easiest to fish for a shore-bound angler at night. Subdivision lakes are
excellent places, as are community park lakes. Some golf courses allow fishing on their lakes - and these lakes hold surprising numbers of fat largemouth bass. Workers usually mow the banks of golf course lakes, making these lakes easy to fish from the bank in the darkness. Farm ponds that hold largemouth bass are hard to beat at night. Many farms in Kentucky, especially in the western and southern parts of the state, have watershed lakes on them. The Natural Resources and Conservation Service built most of these lakes decades ago to conserve topsoil and prevent flooding. You can find these lakes on topographic maps just be sure to get the landowner’s permission to fish them. You can fit all of the lures you need for night fishing in a small tackle box, a soft sided pouch or a small paper bag. What should you use? Try 4-6 inch lizards in black, pumpkin or watermelon, 7-10 inch plastic worms colored black, purple or wine, a blue and black jig-and-pig combination and a black spinnerbait. Scout the lakes you plan to fish in the daytime to form your plan before you go. Bass locate in a few predictable areas in a small lake at night
during the summer. You don’t need expensive electronic equipment to locate them. Weedlines, brush, rip-rap rock on the dam and fallen trees all hold bass at night. A black spinnerbait thumping along a weedline draws strikes. A large weightless plastic worm worked painfully slow in brush or amongst fallen tree branches is often rewarded with a sharp thump on the end of your line. A 1/8-ounce black and blue jig-and-pig crawled along the dam face among rip-rap rocks could produce a trophy largemouth bass. A lizard worked the same way also works well. Subdivision lakes usually have some lights around them for security or to illuminate a dock or marina. The circle of light is the place to cast. Lights draw insects, which in turn attract small bluegill and baitfish. Bass then move in to gorge themselves. You can spend an entire night fishing lighted areas and catch a dozen bass or more. You don’t need a boat or expensive equipment to enjoy excellent bass fishing. Throw a handful of lures in a small paper sack, stuff it in your back pocket and head for your nearest small lake when the sun goes down.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •If your take-home pay leaves something to be desired, you probably won't be surprised to learn that the English word "salary" is derived from the Latin word for the allowance provided to Roman soldiers to buy salt. •It was Academy Award-winning comedian and actor George Burns who made the following sage observation: "You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down there." •Tablecloths today are lovely linens that enhance the appearance of a table, but that wasn't originally their sole use. At one time, tablecloths were meant to serve as towels; after dinner, guests would use it to wipe their hands and faces. •If you were to dine at an ancient Roman feast, you might find flamingo tongues on the menu — they were considered a delicacy.

•In 1981, two minor-league baseball teams, the Rochester Red Wings and the Pawtucket Red Sox, played what might be the longest game in baseball history — a full 32 innings. And after all that, there wasn't even a winner: The game ended in a 2-2 tie.

Horoscopes HOCUS-FOCUS
By Henry Boltinoff
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your persistence pays off as the information you demanded starts to come through. The pace is slow at first, but it begins to speed up as the week draws to a close.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An unwelcome bit of news jolts the Bovine, who would prefer that things proceed smoothly. But it's at most a momentary setback. A Leo brings more welcome tidings.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You need to pay close attention to the details before making a commitment. Don't accept anything that seems questionable, unless you get an answer that can be backed up.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulations on getting that project up and running. But as exciting as it is, don't let it carry you away. Make sure you set aside time to spend with family and friends.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Be sure you're part of the discussion involving your suggestions. Your presence ensures that you can defend your work, if necessary. It also helps gain your colleagues' support.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A misunderstanding needs to be dealt with, or it can grow and cause more problems later on. Be the bigger person and take the first step to clear the air.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Set some strict guidelines for yourself so your heavier-than-usual work schedule doesn't overwhelm the time you need to spend relaxing with loved ones.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might feel a little uncomfortable being among people you hardly know. But remember that today's strangers can become tomorrow's valuable contacts.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Reward yourself for all that you've accomplished despite some annoying situations that got in your way. Enjoy a well-earned getaway with someone special.
Last Week’s Solutions
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Realizing that someone else is taking credit for what you did is bound to get anyone's goat, but especially yours. Be patient. The truth soon comes out.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Forget about opposites attracting. What you need is to find someone who thinks like you and will support your ideas, even if others say they're too radical.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Workplace problems can affect your financial plans. Be prudent and avoid running up bills or making commitments until things begin to ease up by the 25th.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your intuition helps you communicate easily with people and understand their needs.

I’ve heard many people refuse to get a job in the fast food industry, but if you’re job hunting you probably shouldn’t be too discriminatory about working at a fast food joint. You may not really like flipping burgers or dealing with grumpy customers, but there is nothing wrong with working at a fast food place. If anything, you’ll likely gain invaluable communication skills trying to put together endless food orders and reasoning with angry parents when their kid doesn’t get the toy he wanted in his Happy Meal. With the economy in such a drab condition, many families’ budgets are pulled tight. Having your own money to buy things you would normally ask Mom and Dad for can probably eliminate some financial burden off their backs, too.
Brandenburg Primary School STLP ranked No. 2 in state competition
Presenter and showcase students who competed at the regional and state competition posed with Parrino on campus in Louisville. The showcase scored 118 out of 120 points in the regionals to qualify for state. Parrino said that in 2007, more than 700 children from Meade County went to Kosair for assistance.

It allows teachers to teach from anywhere in the classroom and lets students interact from their seats. Callie Carder, Desirae Davis, and Molly Jo Doyle took first place in the Elementary Division for creating a video for KYVL (Kentucky Virtual Library). Their video, which they created and starred in, showed how you should go to KYVL’s Web site to use “Searchasaurus” if you need lots of information quickly. They also received a plaque at the awards ceremony for their video. Our STLP would like to thank all of the students and parents at Brandenburg Primary for donating money to the Children’s Hospital Foundation. We would also like to thank Ms. Pam Harshfield and Mrs. Amy Bogard for helping with STLP this year. The STLP “Cyber-Reporters” are: Kasi Givans, Whitney Hobbs and Sackary Prather.

Brandenburg Primary’s Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) had a great time at the Kentucky STLP competition and awards ceremony held at Rupp Arena in Lexington on May 6 and 7. Our showcase scored 118 out of 120 points in Louisville at the regional competition to qualify for the state competition. Students at the showcase table were: Brianna Rybarczyk, Tori Aikin, Chris Blakey, Auby Luney, Zackary Prather, Whitney Hobbs, and Kasi Givans. The showcase project was called “Share the Spirit.” This project raised money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation which supports Kosair Children’s Hospital. Heather Parrino, who works for the Children’s Hospital Foundation, came to our school and talked to all of the classes about Kosair Hospital. She told us that last year, ap-
proximately 700 children from Meade County went to Kosair for medical help. We had several ways to raise money. In the fall, we sold “Spirit Bracelets” and had a pay “dress down” day. We raised $850 from selling bracelets and from dress down day. In the spring, we had a penny drive. All classes brought in coins and competed against each other to see who could raise the most money. Mrs. Miller’s second grade class brought in the most money. They collected $242.85 in one week. We raised $2,621.38 during our penny drive. Our presenters scored 78 out of 80 points at the regional competition to be able to go to the state competition. They took 2nd place in the elementary division at the state competition and received a plaque. Our presenters were Tessa McIntosh and Victoria Russ. Their presentation was called “Soar Into SMARTness with an AirLiner.” They demonstrated how teachers use the AirLiner in

trooper island: Serving Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth since 1965
A police siren blares and flashing blue lights cut through the early morning fog. Not exactly the most pleasant of sounds and sights. Unless, that is, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re among the 700 youngsters spending a week at Kentucky State Police sponsored Trooper Island each summer. For them, the 7 a.m. wakeup call in their modern, airconditioned cabins means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to enjoy a day of fun and educational experiences with their friends in one of Kentucky (and Tennesseeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) most beautiful settings. The person behind this alarm clock is Trooper Craig Sutton, a London native and camp director since 2004. Campers, primarily ages 10-12, also get to hear reveille over the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intercom each morning along with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star Spangled Banner,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Old Kentucky Homeâ&#x20AC;? and John Wayne reciting â&#x20AC;&#x153;What America Means To Me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to get them wide

LEFT: The boat dock provides an ideal place for fishing. TOP: Campers learn good citizenship at Trooper Island. awake and ready for the opportunities they will enjoy for the rest of the day,â&#x20AC;? Sutton said. Among the opportunities are working with camp counselors and volunteers to learn about such things as accident and fire prevention, first aid, conservation, hygiene, good citizenship, drug abuse and leadership. During the week, youngsters may also take part in swimming and boating les-
sons and learn new skills at the archery and rifle ranges, all under the watchful eye of qualified instructors, including troopers volunteering their time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way for the kids to see that the people behind the uniforms can be their friends and not a person they need to be fearful of,â&#x20AC;? Sutton said. More than 20,000 boys and girls have participated in the Trooper Island experience
since the facility was opened by KSP in 1965 on the 35-acre island, the southern tip of which lies in Tennessee. From the beginning, the goal has been to use the facility located at the ClintonCumberland county line as part of a long-range program of public service to Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth. Troopers in each of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16 state police post areas are responsible for selecting children who may not
otherwise have the opportunity to attend a camp. They often work with their local school systems to identify potential participants. The experience is free, and the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $310,000 budget is funded primarily by corporate donations from companies such as Wal-Mart. Camps run from Monday through noon Friday with 68 (an equal number of boys and girls) taking part each week. Youngsters arrive by bus and are transported via barge for a mile-long voyage from the state boat dock at Dale Hollow. For many, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their first time in a boat and squeals of delight are frequent, according to one camp counselor. Eight weeks of camp are held each summer for participants selected by the troopers. There is also a week for Hispanic campers and a specialized camp for children with phenylketonuria, a ge-
netic condition that can cause mental retardation when not treated early in infancy. This year, a weekend camp called Hands & Voices is planned for hearing impaired children. Although Trooper Island is far from being a boot camp, over the years many campers have gone on to become Kentucky state troopers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trend Director Sutton expects will continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rewarding experience to have a kid come up to you and say they want to be a trooper. That means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a positive experience, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to leave here feeling the police are their friends,â&#x20AC;? said Sutton.

Meade Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Shoe Tree Runners:â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Never too hot to trot By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
For many people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe too many â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Saturday mornings mean sleeping late, watching cartoons and enjoying breakfast in bed. But for a local group of devout joggers, Saturday mornings mean sweat, shin splints and about 10 to 15 miles. The so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shoe Tree Runnersâ&#x20AC;? can be spotted around some corner of the county during any given day of the year. These canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-getenough athletes wear and tear through a pair of sneakers every few months, and they have racked up quite a hefty number on the odometer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started running in 1977,â&#x20AC;? said Jerry Nelson, a Meade County High School teacher and boys soccer coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the year of my first race â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pretty much been running from then until now.â&#x20AC;? Nelson and running partners John Bevill, Garland West and George Yates have known each other since their days at Meade County High School, and now the former classmates meet on a daily
schedule to tread some pavement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it easier to go out and run when you have people to do it with you,â&#x20AC;? Yates said. All four are in their early 50s, and though they do compete competitively â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as in the Louisville Triple Crown of Running â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fastest times and first place wins arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what keep the group moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barry Ross runs with us a lot, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 54 and he runs one of the fastest miles around,â&#x20AC;? Bevill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He probably runs the mile in under five minutes â&#x20AC;Ś but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not out here to be faster than each other.â&#x20AC;? The group stays active for the enjoyment of running and the drive to stay healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part of running is when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over,â&#x20AC;? West said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just feel better, all around. You feel like you accomplished something good for the day.â&#x20AC;? Other Meade County joggers join the crew often when a three- or five-mile run is on the agenda. But on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick jogâ&#x20AC;? up toward Corydon, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 13.1 miles one way â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this core group of runners that can be seen sweating on the shoulder of Highway 135. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that one too often, but we do it,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said. A pair of sneakers doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long for these guys, and when a set of shoes is finally worn through, the joggers have a ritual of tossing them into a tree near Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Body Shop in Brandenburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see all of them now with all the leaves on the tree, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said. The four typically head out for a run around 8:30 a.m. and finish their exercise, assuming itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a haul to Indiana, by 10 a.m. They try to make time to run every morning, every day of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started running in 1975 after I broke both my legs,â&#x20AC;? Bevill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in the hospital for three weeks and started running to lose the weight I had gained. Then I just kept on doing it.â&#x20AC;? Whether Otter Creek Park, Buttermilk Falls or backwoods roads throughout the county, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly good chance the shoe tree runners

Edible Heirlooms: Grilled Honey Citrus Pork and Chicken
Grilled Honey Citrus Pork and Chicken By Jorena D. Faulkner To submit your own recipe, e-mail jorena@thenewsstandard.com. Over the last several weeks, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed utilizing locally, naturally grown products from farmers in the county. Not only has purchasing ingredients from â&#x20AC;&#x153;my own backyardâ&#x20AC;? been cost-saving, it has also provided many benefits, simply by the fact that they are naturally grown. During the summer, many families find themselves donning aprons and barbecue tongs several times a week. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;barbecueâ&#x20AC;? is thought to have originally derived from the West Indian word â&#x20AC;&#x153;barbacoaâ&#x20AC;? which represented the process of slow cooking meat over hot coals. Some historians place the origin of the cooking method into the hands of Haitians, and some claim the term was created by the French, as in â&#x20AC;&#x153;barbe a queueâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which literally means â&#x20AC;&#x153;from head to tail.â&#x20AC;? Whichever culture created the technique of grilling food over hot coals, the traditional barbecue has become a national pastime for Americans. In the June 27 issue of The News Standard, the Edible Heirlooms column profiled a grilled variety baby squash recipe. The recipe provided a healthy grilling option for a barbecue side dish, along with some fresh, locally produced white corn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; placed onto tin foil, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, a dash of paprika and some fresh roasted garlic, wrapped and then placed on the grill until tender. But many readers may be asking the age old question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beef?â&#x20AC;?

To complete my meal, I purchased two free-range chicken breasts, sausage links, two t-bone steaks, and two hearty butterfly pork cutlets. I marinated the steaks in Dales Seasoning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which can be found at any grocery store â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a few hours along with a full clove of fresh roasted garlic. I drained off the excess liquid just prior to throwing them on the grill, gave both steaks a gentle squeeze of lemon, and cooked them until medium well. I grilled the sausage link without any seasoning and it was amazing. Note: When grilling sausage links, be sure to poke several holes along the casing to allow the release of juices. For my chicken breasts and pork cutlets, I created a simple glaze from an idea given to me by the producers of the product â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ralph and Kathy Packard of Misty Meadows Farm. Using fresh oranges, cranberries and honey, this basic glaze is a hit. Grilled Honey Citrus Pork and Chicken 2 large chicken breasts (bone in) 2 large butterfly pork cutlets 16-ounce can of Ocean Spray Whole Cranberry Sauce 1 cup fresh squeezed or 100 percent orange juice 2 tbs honey 1-2 tbs real butter Wash and pat dry chicken breasts and butterfly pork cutlets and place in deep dish. In a saucepan, place one 16-ounce can of Ocean Spray Whole Cranberry Sauce and one cup of orange juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. Simmer until thickened (about five minutes). Remove from heat and let cool. Once mixture is room temperature, pour over chicken and pork; marinate and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes. Place on well-oiled grill until cooked thoroughly. Note: Be sure to reapply remaining glaze during grilling. Misty Meadows Farm provided the idea for this glaze, and the free-range chicken breasts, sausage, pork cutlets and t-bone steaks for this barbecue. Owners Ralph and Kathy Packard set up for business in the parking lot of Snappy Tomato Pizza on Highway 1638 each Friday from 3-6 p.m. to provide the community with naturally grown produce, eggs and meat.
