MCHS Marching Band is ready to (drum) roll By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

The sounds of snare drums and sousaphones are audible from all corners of Brandenburg, as the Meade County High School Marching Band prepares for a new season. The 128-member group has been braving the heat

and humidity, practicing from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The band will have to learn four new musical compositions for the five competitions it will compete in this year, as well as the Meade County High School “fight song,” the national anthem, and other pieces to be played at sporting events. “We have a lot of re-

turnees this year which is good,” said marching band director Bruce Soderstrom. “Last year was a growing year for us, but it was a successful year too. Of course everyone likes to win, but our goal this year is to show progress every time we go out.” Soderstrom has been directing the band for

Planning ahead can save money on food costs By Jennifer Bridge CEA for Family and Consumer Sciences

As food prices continue to rise, many of us are pinching pennies and looking for ways to make our money go farther at the checkout counter. With basic nutrition knowledge, wise purchasing practices, and proper planning, you can prepare nutritious meals that your family will enjoy while saving money at the grocery store. To start this process, analyze your current food purchasing habits and look for unnecessary purchases. Consider how much fast food, take out, restaurant, and pre-packaged frozen meals you eat. While these items may be more convenient for families or individuals on the run, they are not necessarily the most cost effective or nutritious. A significant amount of money can be saved by preparing meals in your home and it’s

All is ‘fair’ at CoC luncheon By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com

A “Guitar Hero” demonstration, door prize drawing and game of cornhole were all part of this month’s Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Along with a catered meal prepared by Home Plate Family Restaurant and sponsored by Bluegrass Cellular, luncheon attendees were invited to participate in the demonstrations and were briefed on the status of the annual Meade County Fair at the monthly meeting, held July 17 at the Farm Bureau Community Center at the fairgrounds. The topic of the luncheon, “What’s new and what’s different for this year’s Meade County Fair,” began with an overview by Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce President Paul Poole, who said community involvement is critical for the success of the annual event. “The Meade County fair is only as strong as the people that volunteer their time and give of themselves,” Poole said. “(The volunteers) make (the fair) what it is.” Poole recognized several community and business members who had volunteered to assist in the management of the chamber’s booth at the county fair and requested persons

‘Kentucky Joe’ discusses importance of farm support By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

Close to 400 people attended a special breakfast on Thursday that welcomed featured speaker, “Kentucky Joe.” The Meade County Farm Bureau hosted its first fair breakfast at the Farm Bureau Community Building at 7 a.m. on Thursday. A hot breakfast of sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, fruit and coffee was served to attendees for only 50 cents. The cost of the

meal represented the small amount of money Kentucky farmers receive for every $1 of consumer money that is spent purchasing food products. As guests enjoyed their breakfast, which was served by local members of the 4-H and FFA, Terry Miller, director of the Meade County Farm Bureau, introduced the morning’s special speaker, Roger Bingham. Born and raised in Kentucky, Bingham gained national fame and his down-to-earth, farm boy reputation after starring on season

two of the reality TV show, “Survivor.” “Farming is very important to Kentucky,” he said. “There are 84,000 farms, with an average size of 164 acres ... and about 54 percent of Kentucky’s land area is used for agriculture.” A farmer and marketing spokesman for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Bingham explained that as food costs rise, farmers still receive very little in return for their

If we are not carefrom 65.3 percent to 71.5 ful, we will see even more percent, a figure that now high-paying jobs in those exceeds the national aver- fields leave our country.

To counter that trend, at least in Kentucky, the General Assembly adopted legislation earlier this year designed to improve those numbers. The new law should help more students taking math and science courses, as well as Advanced Placement classes that provide college credit. The law will increase teacher training for the Kentucky Virtual High School, which provides online classes that otherwise would be unavailable, and it gives added financial incentive for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and do well in advanced classes. Legislators also called on the Kentucky Department of Education to begin charting a path to increase not just the number of students in those advanced classes, but also the number of those who do well. In addition, this legislation formalized the Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science on the campus of Western Kentucky University. This unique school began a year ago and brings together some of the Commonwealth’s brightest students for their last two years of high school and puts them essentially in a college setting. One of the main challenges of improving our schools is that higher than average poverty and a historically low number of high school

and college graduates have had a profound effect on us. Still, given the fact that about half of our student population is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch — the ninth highest rate in the nation — Kentucky gets positive marks for the way we spend the money we do have. In 2004, the Manhattan Institute ranked us fourth when measuring the efficiency of money dedicated to our schools. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, meanwhile, gave Kentucky a “B” for its “solid return on investment.” A few years from now, when KERA’s timeline is complete, it will be time for legislators and other state officials to plot a new course for continuing to bring all of our students to a high level so that they can compete with not just those in surrounding states, but around the world. It will be a tall task, but as KERA has shown, it is a goal certainly within our grasp. If you have any thoughts on this matter, please let me know. I can be reached at Room 351E, Capitol Annex, 702 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY 40601. You can also leave a message for me or for any legislator at 800-372-7181. For the deaf or hard of hearing, the number is 800-896-0305. I hope to hear from you soon.

Who’s entitled to receive a veterans pension? Veterans Post Freddy Groves It’s thought that more than 2 million eligible veterans aren’t claiming their pension. This is money that’s paid to wartime veterans age 65 or over with limited or little income. Under age 65, there must be permanent and total disability. Do you qualify? Here are some of the criteria: •You must have served at least one day in a designated war period, with a total of at least 90 days of military service. After 1980, you must have served at least 24 months. •Your annual family income must be below a certain amount. This part is complicated and involves a computation of medical expenses and earnings, among other things. •You cannot have a dishonorable discharge. •You cannot already be receiving service-connected

compensation. If you’re not sure if you qualify, your best bet is to fill out VA Form 21-526 and let the VA decide. The form is a hefty 23 pages, but there are line-byline instructions and tips. If you hook up with a Veterans Service Officer for help, don’t agree to leave the form to be filled out for you to pick up later. Arrange to get help filling out the form on the spot. If you only have a question or two, call the toll-free number 1-800-8271000. Online go to www.vba. va.gov and put “Veterans Pension” in the search box. Scroll down and look for topics that include the words Veterans Pension. Be sure to look at the Periods of War for VA Benefits Eligibility to be sure your service dates fall within accepted time periods. If you don’t have Internet access, call the toll-free number and ask for the form to be sent to you. You’ll also need a copy of your DD-214 to attach. New

school that costs more than the public colleges, the bill will add a dollar for every dollar that the school kicks in. If you served for 30 days and were discharged for a service-related disability after Sept. 11, 2001, you qualify. Benefits have to be used within 15 years. Under certain circumstances, veterans may be able to transfer unused benefits to a child or spouse. The benefits are set to kick in beginning August 2009 (a fact bemoaned by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is crying that it can’t be ready for at least two years). Those currently on the Montgomery Bill will see a 20 percent increase in benefit money. For all the details and to see if you qualify, go to www.gibill.va.gov, or call 1-888-442-4551.

Benefits After much haggling in Congress, it’s finally here: The newest incarnation of GI education benefits has been signed into law. The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act replaces the Montgomery GI Bill and nearly doubles the dollar amount of benefits. This new benefits package guarantees full fouryear (36 month) scholarships at any public state university for those who’ve served for three years since Sept. 11, 2001. Additionally, there’s a monthly housing stipend (the amount will be tied to the cost of living in a given ZIP code) if attending school full time, and a book allowance of up to $1,000 per year. It also includes tutoring help and licensing/ certification test costs. Those who served less than three years would receive partial pro-rated benefits. For example, if you served 24 months after Sept. 11, 2001, your benefit would be 80 percent. Even three months of service will qualify for a portion of benefits. If you attend a private

Strength of diversity, community spotlight gospel service By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

A special worship service held Sunday evening at the fairgrounds encouraged attendees to focus on four words of goodwill: Community, diversity, sanctuary and hospitality. The Meade County Ministerial Association presented its annual community worship service at the Farm Bureau Building at the Meade County fairgrounds on Sunday, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Pastors from churches across Meade County were part of the service, and each contributed words of faith to those in attendance. Dan Paddock, pastor of Bethel/Muldraugh United Methodist churches, offered a special message with the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no place like home.â&#x20AC;? Paddock said community, diversity, sanctuary and hospitality are key to the foundation of strong faith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we work together as a community, we are an agent for change in the world,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Luncheon From page A1 interested in volunteering to man the Meade County Tourism booth and exhibit at the Kentucky State Fair from Aug. 14 through 24, to contact chamber executive director Russ Powell. Jennifer Bridge, County Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences and Meade County Museum and Arts Council (McMAC) president, gave a brief update on the upcoming concert series and River Heritage Music Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a really great time,â&#x20AC;? Bridge said. Bridge also noted that sponsors are still needed for the events and more information can be found on the organizations Web site at www.meadearts.com. Home Plate Family Restaurant catered the luncheon and was acknowledged by Poole for having recently celebrated its second anniversary in business.

Poole also commended Bluegrass Cellular for its ongoing support of the chamber, and introduced Terry Bryson, regional sales manager for Bluegrass Cellular of Elizabethtown, Ky. Bryson was head of a luncheon welcoming committee, including Elizabethtown Bluegrass Cellular Corporate Accountâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manager Pamela Smith, corporate account coordinator Brandy Simoneit, customer care coordinators Sara Gorman, Kelly Priddy and Linda Pool, and Brandenburg customer care manager Michelle Kenealy, who sponsored the luncheon as well as provided a display of Bluegrass Cellular products for attendees to overview. The representatives of Bluegrass Cellular also held a door prize drawing for attendees. Poole introduced Brandenburg Mayor David Pace to brief the chamber on the changes and upgrades to the 2008 fair, and noted the success of the county event over Paceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14-year run as fair manager.

Paddock said she was the epitome of a good neighbor and displayed hospitality more than anyone he had ever heard of. Paddock went on to say that as Meade County grows during the next several years, it is up to local residents to extend their arms and welcome families into the neighbor-

hood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As more people move into the region, what can we do to make sure they feel part of our community?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diversity is key to a strong community â&#x20AC;Ś we may not always agree on matters, but we truly need each other.â&#x20AC;? Junior Titus, associate pastor at Glad Tidings Christian Center and vice treasurer of the Meade County Ministerial Association, spoke on behalf

of the Ministerial Association, saying it has raised $11,500 in the first six months of the year to aid county residents in need. He projected almost $25,000 being raised through charity and donations by the end of the year. He encouraged people to frequently shop at the Meade County Clothes Closet, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;the more money we generate, the more we can give to the needy.â&#x20AC;?

The community choir, which consisted of singers from Brandenburg United Methodist Church, Ekron Baptist Church, First Baptist Church and Gospel Fellowship, was directed by Roxanne Nanney, Minister of Music and Senior Adults at First Baptist Church. The choir sang throughout the service and also during a community gospel sing held before the worship service at 4 p.m.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think (Mayor Pace) has done an outstanding job,â&#x20AC;? Poole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support you get here is unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? Pace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support and the volunteers are what makes this fair successful. We are one big family here on the fair board. When I look into this crowd â&#x20AC;Ś a lot of you are workers at the fair. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes this fair a success. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 volunteers that make this fair successful.â&#x20AC;? Pace said that 2008 is the first in seven years to see an admission cost increase, but stated even at the current cost of $8 the fair is a great bargain for a day of family fun. He also said that the 2007 Meade County Fair attracted more than 42,000 attendees, and with rising gas prices, families are looking for more local activities and entertainment. Pace said the Meade County Fair fits that bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost effective,â&#x20AC;? Pace said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a family affair thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affordable. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our motto, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;make the fair, a family affair.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Pace also unveiled two new fair events this year; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guitar Warâ&#x20AC;? tournament organized by Brandenburg Police Officer Stratford Young â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is a contest of skill using the video game â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guitar Heroâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a cornhole tournament. After a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guitar Warâ&#x20AC;? demonstration by Young, luncheon attendees were invited to test their skills on both new events. Young said he has high hopes for a successful turnout at the tournament scheduled for today beginning at 5 p.m. in

the Farm Bureau Building at the fairgrounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only have seven con-

Before he was born, his mother was told by an angel that her child was destined for greatness, and that she must not weaken him by imbibing strong drink while she was pregnant. Medical science has now verified the wisdom of that advice. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why a similar warning to pregnant women is posted by law wherever liquor, beer or wine are sold. For you and for all pregnant women and those who anticipate becoming pregnant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take chances with your babiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; future. There is no level of alcohol that is known to be safe. Abstain for the entire nine months. You and your baby will be glad you did. QUESTION: Sometimes my husband and I disagree

on our discipline and argue in front of our children about what is best. Do you think this is damaging? DR. DOBSON: Yes, I do. You and your husband should present a united front, especially when children are watching. If you disagree on an issue it can be discussed later in private. Unless the two of you can come to a consensus, your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of right and wrong will begin to appear arbitrary. They will also make an â&#x20AC;&#x153;end runâ&#x20AC;? around the tougher parent to get the answers they want. There are even more serious consequences for boys and girls when parents are radically different in their approach. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of danger: Some of the most hos-

tile, aggressive teenagers Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen have come from family constellations where the parents have leaned in opposite directions in their discipline. Suppose the father is unloving and disinterested in the welfare of his kids. His approach is harsh and physical. He comes home tired and may knock them around if they get in his way. The mother is permissive by nature. She worries every day about the lack of love in the father-child relationship. Eventually she sets out to compensate for it. When Dad sends their son to bed without his dinner, Mom slips him milk and cookies. When he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to a particular request, she finds a way to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? She lets the kids get away with murder because it is not in

her spirit to confront them. What happens under these circumstances is that the authority figures in the family contradict and cancel-out each other. Consequently, the child is caught in the middle and often grows up hating both. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work that way, but the probability for trouble is high. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;middle groundâ&#x20AC;? between extremes of love and control must be sought if we are to produce healthy, responsible children. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solid Answersâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bringing Up Boys,â&#x20AC;? both published by Tyndale House.

Through anger, we may all end up blind, toothless

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fool immediately shows his anger.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Proverbs 12:16

These days it seems that everybody is angry, fedup and aggrieved about something. Here are a few of the things I have heard recently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our dumb President just keeps shooting himself, and us, in the foot!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The priest in our parish is an idiot!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those stupid people who live next door have no regard for anybody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to fry the electrical systems in those cars with the loud music coming from every rolleddown window!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to take her cell phone and shove it down her throat!â&#x20AC;? Being angry, fed-up and aggrieved, and being tempted to act on it, is not new. Even some of the

great heroes of the Bible were not spared from such feelings and temptations. In the passage, cited above, Jesus and his disciples were cutting through Samaritan territory on their way to Jerusalem. Samaritans hated Jews and so some Samaritans would not allow them to pass through their town. The angry disciples suggested to Jesus that it might be a good idea call down a ball of fire to fry them, right then and there! In the Second Book of Samuel, King David was traveling one day when a man named Shimei started cursing him and throwing rocks at him from the side of the road. Abishai, traveling with him, asked David, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and lop off his

head!â&#x20AC;? or weave job.

God blesses us in the present, future Psalm 145:2 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day I will bless you, And I will praise Your name forever and everâ&#x20AC;? (NKJV). A good way to think of eternity in the future is to think of it in terms of today. Has God provided for you and cared for you today? Not yesterday or tomorrow, but today? Wherever you are today, as you are reading this, has the Lord sustained you today?

A8 - The News Standard

By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com

A married mother of three, Laura Tate is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolest grandmaâ&#x20AC;? in town according to her three grandchildren. Of course, they may be a little biased since their grandma recently opened a store which contains more than 16 flavors of everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite year-round frozen treat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I am (the coolest grandma),â&#x20AC;? Tate said in reference to her new title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the ice cream!â&#x20AC;? Tate graciously opened the doors of Sweet Dreams Ice Cream and Arcade â&#x20AC;&#x201D; located at 125 Old Mill Road/1638 in Brandenburg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Meade County residents on July 14, during what has been described as one of the hottest summers in decades. Currently the sole proprietor and employee of the establishment, Tate said an unexpected twist of fate realigned her professional goals and set her on a path of resurrecting the only dedicated ice cream and sweets store in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been in the medical profession for 22 years,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost my job in October and then my sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer â&#x20AC;Ś so I took time to spend with her. She died only three months after being diagnosed. Two weeks after my sister passed away, my dad went into respiratory failure. So, after spending time in the hospital with him until he passed away, I just wanted to do something different after experiencing that.â&#x20AC;? With the tragic and untimely death of both her sister and father, Tate said she knew it was time for a change. Although a struggle, Tate was determined to take her feelings of pain and loss, and turn the experience into something positive, inspirational and full of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I went through all of that, it just seemed like the passion for medical wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there anymore,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I asked God to find my next calling, I asked Him, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what do you want me to do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? After reading and hearing talk around town about the minimal availability of child and teen friendly activities, Tate knew she wanted to become involved with a business that supported the community, was family oriented,

LEFT: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My motto is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no matter what the season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always summertime at Sweet Dreams,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said owner Laura Tate. ABOVE: Sweet Dreams Ice Cream and Arcade offers 16 varieties of ice cream, five types of cones, floats, malts, shakes, banana splits, brownies, sundaes and more. and put a focus on children. Having always enjoyed visiting the ice cream shop when it was open in prior years, Tate found herself drawn to the posted â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Saleâ&#x20AC;? sign each time she passed the vacant location over the course of the last several months â&#x20AC;Ś and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when her answer became clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I wanted to reopen that ice cream store,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d read in the paper about the kids wanting an arcade â&#x20AC;Ś now that was an idea. Then I could do something for the community to bring it together â&#x20AC;Ś for families to come together to do things as a family and for children to have a safe place to hang out.â&#x20AC;? It was only a few weeks later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as her funding was approved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that Tate went full-speed ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just went with it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to offer something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for everybody. I wanted to have a family atmosphere â&#x20AC;Ś be a place you can bring your kids to, yet adults can enjoy as well. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to organize family nights and family events like a Halloween and Christmas party and family night dance parties. In September, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hosting an ice cream social and yard sale to benefit ovarian cancer awareness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Customers will also be able to reserve space in the dining area or arcade to host special events such as birthdays, socials, meetings, anniversaries, wedding events or whatever the occasion.â&#x20AC;? Sweet Dreams offers 16 varieties of Blue Bell ice cream,

five types of cones, floats, malts, shakes, banana splits, brownies, sundaes and more. Future plans for the location over the coming weeks include a full-service arcade including pool, air hockey and video games, and a food bar, which will include items such as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;build-it-yourselfâ&#x20AC;? deli sandwich and salad bar, barbecue sandwiches, corndogs, hotdogs and more. Tate said keeping the quality of her product at the highest standard motivated her to select Blue Bell as her ice cream of choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Bell is the best ice cream,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to keep that same quality.â&#x20AC;? Intended to be a yearround operation, Tate says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring the warmth of a variety of decadent desserts to Sweet Dreams to ease the winter months chill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; complete with a tropical theme including a wall-sized mural of a beach and ocean paradise â&#x20AC;Ś inspired by and in memory of her late sister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My motto is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no matter what the season, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always summertime at Sweet Dreams,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Tate said of the Hawaiian theme. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sister always wanted to go to Hawaii, and she never got a chance make it. This is my dedication to her.â&#x20AC;? Tate is planning a grand opening celebration upon the approval of her entertainment license by Fiscal Court. In the meantime, Tate invites the community to visit the island of Sweet Dreams â&#x20AC;Ś a relaxing, tropical experience she hopes residents will feel at home in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people come down, I want them to feel at home,â&#x20AC;? Tate said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want this to be a

relaxing atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Sweet Dreams Ice Cream and Arcade is located at 125 Old Mill Road/1638 in Brandenburg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right next to Snappy Tomato Pizza. The shop is open seven days a

Subprime credit cards are often attractive to consumers who have had credit problems and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get approved for a regular card. But the consumer abuse associated with these cards makes them something to avoid. The Federal Trade Commission has finally instituted a lawsuit against a subprime credit-card company after a long investigation, and the details of the suit are worth noting. Among the counts of the lawsuit are: Misrepresentation of available credit, failure to disclose fees and failure to disclose how use of the credit card would adversely affect available credit. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the government says it worked: More than one million consumers applied for and believed they would receive a credit card with a $300 available credit limit, that

there were no upfront fees and no deposit was required. The promotional mailings were misleading, with consumers required to follow a complicated set of asterisks and miscellaneous symbols on the front and back of multiple pages of text. Only there, buried in tiny print in various places, was the disclosure that there â&#x20AC;&#x153;may beâ&#x20AC;? certain fees such as annual fee, account-opening fee and maintenance fee, which in this case amounted to $185 of the available $300 credit limit. Also buried was the notice that the company would withhold half the credit until the fourth month. Only $115 of the original $300 would be left after fees were immediately deducted from the available balance. Another objectionable tactic was the use of behavior-model credit scoring. According to the lawsuit, the behavior model of credit scoring takes into consideration where the

consumer is using the card. Negatives include purchases from direct-marketing merchants, marriage and personal counselors, tire retreading and repair shops, nightclubs and bars, and pawn shops. When those types of purchases were found, the credit limits were immediately lowered to below an existing balance and the consumer was charged fees for being over the limit. If you receive offers for subprime credit cards, always read every word on the offer. Visit the Federal Trade Commission Web site at www.ftc. gov and do a search for credit cards to learn if that company is being investigated. Better yet, if you have problem credit, work to clear it up before applying for a more mainstream credit card. Write to David Uffington in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Understanding Japenese beetles By Andy Mills CEA for Agriculture and Natural Resources Japanese beetles were introduced into this country in the early part of this century and have now become well established in the Eastern United States. Both adults and larvae cause damage to landscape plants. The adults have a very wide host range meaning they will feed on many different types of plants. Some reports indicate that the adults will feed on up to 300 different species, even poison ivy. The larvae or grubs are more selective and feed on the roots of grass species. This root feeding

produces the grassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to take up water resulting in the grass being more susceptible to the hot dry conditions typical of summer. Heavy infestations that are not controlled may result in large patches of dead grass. Birds and moles may also cause damage to lawns as they dig and extract grubs from the soil. Adults emerge from the ground and begin feeding on plants in June. Activity is most intense over a four to six week period beginning in late June. Adult beetles live almost 30 to 45 days. Egg laying begins soon after the adults emerge from the ground and mate. Females leave plants in

the afternoon, burrow two to four inches into the soil in a suitable area and lay their eggs. The developing beetles spend the next 10 months in the soil as white grubs. So, what is to be done about these pesky insects? There are several approaches one may take in attempting to control these insects. Physical control measures (manually removing beetles from plants) should be implemented as soon as possible once beetles appear, since the presence of a few beetles on a plant tends to attract more beetles to the same plant. If infestations are relatively light, the beetles can be removed by hand or shaken off

the plant. The best time to remove Japanese beetles in this manner is in the cool of the morning when the insects are less active. Once the beetles have been collected, they can be killed by placing them in a bucket of soapy water. Another way to control Japanese beetles is aimed at controlling the larval stage, the grubs. Insecticides (sold under various trade names) can be applied to turf but this approach has been met with mixed success. Even if the treatment does control grubs in turf, which in and of itself is important, there is nothing to prevent

If you prefer to use insecticides, several are effective against Japanese beetles. Products containing SevinR are quite effective, and can be used by homeowners. Remember, always read and follow the label direc-

Planning is the key. Meals can be planned in advance using the Food Guide Pyramid. Consult family members for meal ideas so everyone will have something they like to eat. Getting the children involved may be easier than you think. Preparing a menu for upcoming weeks could make your family look forward to certain dishes and help you make a grocery list.

Consider what ingredients you already have that you can utilize before making the list. Watch grocery sales and prepare meals based on them. In season fruits and vegetables are always wise purchases. Your local farmers market may have just what you are looking for. When fruits and vegetables are out of season, compare canned and frozen prices. Frozen items allow you to use smaller portions and save the rest for later. Purchasing items you regularly use in bulk may help you save money but always check the unit price to make sure. Larger cuts of meat can be separated and used for several meals. It may be time to get out the old bread machine or

Crock-Pot again. Some meals can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for later consumption, but always remember to follow food safety guidelines when reheating. Consider making one-dish meals a couple times a week. Dishes that require little preparation and cooking times, such as stir-fry, fish, salads and stews, are quick, nutritious options. Use leftovers as ingredients for other meals such as casseroles or soups. With a little planning, you can save a little dough and eat more nutritiously. For more information on meal planning, proper nutrition or wise purchasing practice, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service.

output. He said farmers in the 1980s received 31 cents for every $1 of consumer money spent on food. Today, farmers receive only 19 cents per $1. Increases in processing and transportation costs — which are spurred by rising fuel prices — contribute to rising food costs, while the farmers who produce the products see the same amount of return.

He was part of the show — which pits contestants against each other as they try to survive in a wild environment — for 36 of the 42 days before he was voted off by fellow competitors. “I lost 30 pounds ... and we all used the same toothbrush ... and eating utensils,” he said. “I never would have guessed I would ever have to share a toothbrush with other people.” Bingham then turned his discussion back to Kentucky’s strong agricultural backbone, and voiced his support for the Kentucky Farm Bureau and all the events and programs it hosts to help support all aspects of

farming. “If I had to pick one group that made this country what it is today, I believe it’s the American farmer,” he said. Andy Mills, county extension agent for agriculture and natural resources offered closing remarks reiterating the point that farmers are not the driving force behind rising food costs, and that ethanol production could result in lowered food costs since high fuel prices are what ignite skyrocketing transportation prices. Tom Benock, president of the Meade County Farm Bureau, Callie Hobbs, president of the Meade County FFA, and Rev. Anthony Chandler of St. John the Apostle Catholic Church also spoke during the breakfast.

With the Meade County Fair Demolition Derby began at 8 p.m. at the fairground’s arena with 35 cars ready and raring to create havoc and destruction. The derby lasted well into early

A little over two weeks ago, Moss was in Daytona Beach, Fla., with Dollar to announce he had purchased half of the former Morgan-Dollar Motorsports, a team that’s a former three-time NCTS championship

The roar of dirt bikes and four-wheelers resonated all day Sunday at the Meade County Fairgrounds, as riders competed in the annual county fair motocross. At the start of all 18 races, the track official said “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines,” but on Sunday, there was an emphasis on “ladies,” as women of all ages participated in a heavily male-dominated sport. Most of the girls racing on Saturday had mixed feelings about competing against their boy rivals. “It’s not cool,” said Cheyenne Nott, 9-year-old dirt bike racer from Meade County. “Half the time I’m the only girl in my class. But I really like beating the boys. It makes the win even better.” Emily Weixler, who has been racing for three years, shrugs off the idea that she’s racing against boys. “That’s always fun,” she said. “None of the guys have a problem with racing against me and I don’t have a problem with racing against them. It’s fun. We’re all out here to have fun.” Weixler received her first bike from her best friend three years ago and she hasn’t looked back. “My best friend, Zach, gave me his old 100 cc (dirt bike) and then my dad got me into it because he races street bikes,” she said. “I love racing. There’s nothing like going into a straight and gunning it, then going into a corner turn really fast. It’s such a rush.” Nott started riding because of her older brother, Jeff Nott. “He got me into riding a bike,” Cheyenne Nott said. “My dad also rides, actually all of my dad’s family rides. I love going over the jumps. That’s the best thing about riding.” One of the smallest and youngest competitors had one of the most successful days on Sunday. Abigail Wilmoth, who is only five-years old, took first place in the 50cc

Foushee said. Nathan Brown, driver of the No. Nathan car, received some of the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest cheers of the night due to

his aggressive tactics. His car caught some air after getting rammed or wedged under other cars throughout the night, and he drove on two wheels while his back end was hooked on a competitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, I like to hit hard,â&#x20AC;?

Brown has been competing at the Meade County fair since he was 16 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started coming to the Meade County Fair since I was little,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been coming ever

year. This is where I started out in the derby. I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into it until a couple of years ago and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been into it ever since.â&#x20AC;? Nathan finished fourth in the feature race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty happy to finish fourth,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a pretty good time tonight.â&#x20AC;?

From page B1 runner-up. Attending his first race and coming out with Randy Moss Motorsports at Kentucky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of all places â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was a very calculated move. Moss and his children have a home nearby, the 1.5-mile track is a three-hour drive from his hometown of Rand, W.Va., and due to his NFL commitments it was likely the only race heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make all season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is close to me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to my roots. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a threehour drive from my home,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Moss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For people from my home state to be able to come and see the 81 truck go around the track, that played a lot in us choosing to open at Kentucky.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He bought into a fledgling truck team that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won in two years because of the connection he and Dollar have. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both smalltown country boys. Dollar, a trucker, is from Hennessee, Okla., and Mossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hometown only has a 7-Eleven. Unknown driver Willie Allen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beckon the video recorder, but Mossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money and stake in the team does, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for the naysayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand how tough it is,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always think positive. If you all are sitting up here doubting me and this team, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doubted most of my whole life and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve proven a lot of people wrong. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m up for that challenge and I think (co-owner David Dollar) is to.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Moss, at times, has given people reason to doubt, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also given plenty of reasons to believe. His involvement in a racially-charged fight in high school detoured him from his Notre Dame commitment to Florida State. He tested positive for smoking marijuana before ever playing a down with the Seminoles and landed at Marshall, about an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive from his hometown. He flourished with the Thundering Herd, but his well-documented legal problems dropped him to the No. 21 pick overall in the 1998

GARY RUPH

Randy Moss makes his first appearance as an owner at a NASCAR Truck event in Sparta, Ky. NFL Draft. Moss silenced all the naysayers as, arguably, the mostfeared receiver in the NFL for the next seven seasons before being traded to the Oakland Raiders. After two unproductive and unhappy seasons in Oakland many had given Moss up for dead. He landed in New England for a fourthround pick last year and set the league on fire again, helping the Patriots to the Super Bowl. In NASCAR, he thinks he can succeed where other past NFL great NASCAR owners â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have tried and failed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of those guys started out at the top and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a true believer in you have to crawl before you can walk,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Moss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to start out at the bottom in the Truck Series.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As for the race, Allen finished a respectable 15th, but it paled in comparison to Mossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first NFL game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when he caught four passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-7 win over Tampa Bay on Sept. 6, 1998. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are similarities,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I had my first NFL football game there was a lot of nervousness and not a lot of sleep. One thing

that I have had the last couple of weeks is a lot of sleep. I slept all day and turned on the Speed Channel.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sprint Cup driver Kevin Harvick built his KHI from the ground up and last year won the NCTS championship with driver Ron Hornaday, Jr. As for any advice for Moss: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hire somebody who knows what the hell is going on,â&#x20AC;? Harvick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest part is when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a race team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we went through this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is you have to hire people and you have to sell people on the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a new race team and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be here for a long time and be competitive. The hardest part is building the team competitively, but financially making it make sense on all sides of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to make that initial investment to get it to the point where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built up and then you have to convince the people that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be here for a long time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest thing that we had to build was the trust in the sport as far as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going anywhere and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to race and here to do things right from a business stand point. In the beginning, it takes some of your own money to get it all going.â&#x20AC;?

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver • Here's a factoid for all those wage slaves out there: Researchers conducting a comprehensive 25-year study found that more than 90 percent of workers see productivity increases when they take afternoon naps. • It was American journalist and satirist H.L. Mencken who made the following observation: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

Horoscopes HOCUS-FOCUS

By Henry Boltinoff

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With new facts to work with, you should feel more confident in moving ahead. But continue to do so at an unhurried pace so you can spot details you might otherwise miss.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Taking on that new workplace project could be one of your smarter career moves. Expect a surprising show of support from someone who had always been a critic.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel you're too busy to undertake a new responsibility. But check it out before making any decisions. What you learn could persuade you to change your mind.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel quite content enjoying all the comforts of home right now. But the urge to travel grows stronger, and by week's end, you could begin packing your bags.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A hectic period begins to ease up, but that doesn't mean the Fine Feline can do much catnapping these days. You need to finish those old tasks and prepare for new ones.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expect to get some good news about your financial situation by week's end. But it could still be too early to rush out with a long shopping list of things to buy.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your management skills make an impression on some workplace VIPs who might be looking for someone like you to take on an upcoming project. Good luck.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Meeting a former adversary might be unsettling at first. But time has softened hard feelings, and you could be on the brink of starting a new relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A troubling situation close to home might cause you to change your travel plans. But getting all the facts before you act might cause you to reconsider.

Last Week’s Solutions

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might be quite alone right now in deciding to support a major workplace shift. But others will join you as new information supports your bold move.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A former co-worker returns with news that could persuade you to reassess recently made plans. Be sure to consult with a trusted colleague before you act.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your motives behind a recent decision could be called into question by a rival. But once you present the facts, all doubts will be resolved. Enjoy an arts-rich weekend.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you love being the center of attention, your generous heart allows you to share the attention with others.

Fair exhibits display county’s talent Excited adult and children artists, homemakers, farmers, and craftsmen — to name a few — rose early Monday morning in anticipation of the Meade County Fair exhibits opening. Meade County showcased its biggest community asset — skill and creativity — as adult competitors registered their entries at the Home Environment Building, while youth exhibits were accepted at the 4-H/FFA/FCCLA Building beginning at 8 a.m. Entrants contended for ribbons in each category to include the much sought after blue ribbon, and coveted purple grand champion ribbon. Judging commenced at 1 p.m. and continued throughout the afternoon, culminating with the unveiling of winning entries to the public at 6 p.m. On display were canned jars of fruits, pickles, vegetables and preserves, fresh flower arrangements, quilts, hand sewn items, art, pies, woodwork, and top quality, award-winning vegetables, such as a gigantic pumpkin, which took grand champion of its division. The public anxiously awaited the results, and entrants lined the walkways of the Home Environment Building, screaming in delight if a colored ribbon was found attached to their entry.

CLOCKWISE: (From top right) Zachary Brown, 13, volunteered at the 4-H exhibit. Colorful ribbons adorn entries in the canning division. A purple grand champion ribbon signifies a winning piece of art. Fourteenyear-old Joey Wardrip poses beside his award winning entry. Blue ribbon winners included floral, sewing, and fruits and vegetables.

Miss Meade County Fair 2008

Audrey Straney

Twenty-one year old Audrey Nicole Straney was named Miss Meade County Fair 2008 at the Miss Meade County Fair Pageant held Monday evening at the fairgrounds. Long-time pageant announcer Stan Heslep took time away from his commitment with the Armed Forces to host the event, and a packed house applauded pageant organizer Amy Haynes for an exceptional program and upgrades to the event, which included a newly lit runway. The stage was set as contestants competed in interview, swimsuit and evening gown categories for the the title and various awards. Last year’s winner, Sarah Adkisson, became emotional during her exit speech prior to crowning the new Miss Meade County Fair, speaking highly of her mother and father — Mark and Judy Adkisson — and thanking the community for its support during her reign. Straney was crowned as winner, with 19-year-old Katelyn Large as First Runner-up, 16-year-old Alexa Adams as Second Runner-up, and 19-year-old Elizabeth Madison rounding out the court as Third Runner-up. In speciality awards given, 18-year-old Whitney Pack was selected as the “People’s Choice” winner, and 17-year-old Meagan Skaggs was voted “Miss Congeniality.” Straney is currently employed as the manager of Snap Fitness and is expecting to graduate from Western Kentucky University in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in business management with an emphasis in human resources.
