BRAC permeates region with ‘irreversible momentum’ Beshear names Needham as Task Force liaison By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. — Col. Mark Needham, the recently retired Garrison Commander of Fort Knox, was received with open arms by numerous Kentucky officials as the new

liaison between the Governor’s Office and the ongoing Fort Knox transformation. During a special-called meeting held Tuesday morning at Nolin RECC, Governor Steve Beshear (D) announced his selection of Needham as Special Assistant to the Governor for Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Activities. “I was struck by Col. Needham’s enthusiasm, by his innovative ca-

pability and by his determination,” Beshear said. “He has proven to be invaluable and has given us invaluable counsel and perspective, helping to accelerate the state’s effort to respond to this challenge, and this opportunity we call BRAC.” As liaison, Needham will work closely with area officials and community and business organizations,

TIME FOR A

NEW-SANCE ORDINANCE?

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

MULDRAUGH — City council voted to advertise two vacancies in the police department, after police chief Jimmy Miller and officer Mike West both left the force last week. During a city council meeting held Tuesday evening at city hall, Mayor Danny Tate said Miller was terminated last Wednesday after “continuous conflict in the police

Staff Report The News Standard Debate over the potential implementation of a county-wide nuisance ordinance has been a sore subject for some neighbors in Meade County. As Fiscal Court plans to work with the Planning and Zoning Commission to fine-tune a new policy that will make violations citable, some residents are breathing a sigh of relief, while others are feeling a sense of encroachment. Julie Williams, of Flaherty, spoke out against her neighbors, who have built a motocross track on their property. “We need a nuisance ordinance,” Williams said during an Aug. 12 Fiscal Court meeting. “Our neighbors have converted their front and back yard into a full-blown motocross track ... it’s very loud and it’s just not fair.” Williams also presented a list of 100 names of people in the community who support a nuisance ordinance during a Sept. 9 meeting. Her neighbor, Jeffrey Nott, Jr., subsequently posted a sign on his property to “alert everybody about what types of things the nuisance order is all about.” “We’re not out here to bother anybody,” Nott said. “We spend our time outside most days riding the bikes ... this is Flaherty; it’s farm country.” Nott said the purpose of his sign is to encourage the community to investigate the various regulations the potential ordinance may entail. A work session between Fiscal Court and the Planning and Zoning Commission that will aim to produce a new nuisance ordinance is scheduled to be held later this month.

Environmental cleanup of Ekron derby tank project is complete Submitted by the Energy and Environment Cabinet

FRANKFORT — Environmental cleanup of the old Derby Tank and Car Cleaning site near Ekron in Meade County is complete. The cleanup was done under supervision of the Superfund Branch in the Energy and Environment Cabinet’s Division of Waste

Management. Money for the $852,872 project came from the Hazardous Waste Management Fund, a trust created by the General Assembly to collect fees from hazardous waste generators. “This is, again, a usable piece of property that is back in circulation and available for a business or industry,” said Harry Craycroft, Meade

County judge-executive. The land has a long history of commercial use. A brandy distillery was established on the site by J.A. Barry in 1889, according to Meade County historian Robert Chism. Then in 1974, a railcar and tanker cleaning/re-furbishing facility began operation on the 42-acre site. The business closed and the property

was abandoned in 1994. Ekron Mayor Gwynne Ison said, “The Superfund has just really saved us with their grants and willingness to clean this up.” From around 1995 to 2003, a series of interim removal actions was conducted, including off-site disposal of residual wastes consisting of corrosive/caustics, heavy metals, petroleum-based

solvents and products from the railcars, including animal fat. This spring, following a pre-remediation investigation and development of a plan, a cleanup contract was awarded to Early Environmental Contracting of Shelbyville, Ky. The Derby Tank remedial project involved installing a secure fence around the

property; filling and capping subsurface building foundations and process units; removing and off-site disposing of contaminated soil; removing residual waste from sumps and piping; and a waste cell that was the principal subsurface containment basin for tank and railcar clean-out

NEWS Rough River to stay at summer pool level through October Friday, September 12, 2008

A2 - The News Standard

Submitted by Rough River Business and Tourism Assoc.

“The Rough River Business and Tourism Association is proud to announce that Rough River Lake will remain near summer pool through Oct. 20 this year,” said Charlie Corbett, president of the association. The US Army Corps of Engineers has approved a proposal to extend the drawdown schedule, which will keep the lake near summer pool level well into October. The draw-down to winter pool usually commences on Sept. 15 with an anticipated winter pool level achieved around Dec.1. With the extended draw-down period, the association is effectively increasing the tourism season by 35 days, or roughly 25 percent of a normal season. Rough River is much more aesthetically pleasing at summer pool with the innumerable rock formations and water clarity. Adding bright colorful fall foliage to the al-

ready beautiful summer pool shoreline creates a spectacular “leaf peeping” opportunity for locals and tourists. October fall foliage will be near peak around the Oct. 20. “The October weather has been increasingly warm and amenable for outdoor recreation for the last several years.,” Corbett said. “I have personally slalom skied in early November on Rough River Lake … my sister has the pictures to prove it!” This is a great success for the Tourism Association, and local businesses will benefit by having tourists eating at their restaurants, buying fuel and accessories at local stores and marinas, and lodging at local motels and inns. Some businesses already are planning special events for the extended season. Most of the local marine dealers will be open for business through the extended season providing sales and service for water enthusiasts and offering new and used boats for sale. Pro-Tech Marine, in Axtel,

tours by pontoon through the extended season. The Peter Cave area of the lake is particularly scenic by water and will afford prime foliage viewing. Contact M&D Marina at 270-259-4859 for details. Local restaurants includ-

ing the River Shack, McDaniel’s General Store, Little Dave’s, Minnie’s, Knotty Pine, Rough River General Store and Superstar will be offering breakfast, lunch and dinner specials through the extended season as well. The Laurel Branch Campground will be open yearround as well at the Rough River State Park. “We are very excited that Rough River Lake will be near summer pool through Oct. 20 this year and look forward to the increased business and tourism this will bring to Rough River and Breckinridge and Grayson counties,” Corbett said. Rather than travel to other tourism destinations this autumn, why not take advantage of the Rough River Lake scenery and stay a little closer to home.

City maintenance building bid awarded to local construction business By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com

BRANDENBURG — Members of the Brandenburg City Council have unanimously voted to approve the bid of Greg Stull Construction to begin work on the city’s new state-of-the-art maintenance building. During the monthly meeting of the Brandenburg City Council held Sept. 9 at City Hall, Mayor David Pace overviewed the Phase I construction bid submitted by Stull to implement the 80 x 110 foot steel structure. “His bid was $237,555.85,” Pace said. “We were estimating in the $200,000 to $215,000 range. When we got to looking at the other stuff we add-

ed in electrical services, and some additional concrete on the aprons, we felt like this bid was in line with what we were putting out for.” Pace said the Phase II construction will cover office areas, bathroom, locker room, utility room, lighting and bay work, which is estimated to run in the $70,000 to $100,000 range, bringing the total cost of the project to nearly $300,000. Construction plans for the maintenance building were on display for board members and meeting attendees to overview. Pace said the structure will contain 16 foot eaves, a 4/12 pitch roof, nine 12 x 14 foot doors, and a “boot wash.” Greg Stull — of Greg Stull

Construction in Payneville — was in attendance and informed the board the 90-day estimated project completion date contained in the specifications cannot be met due to shipping of materials. “It takes eight weeks to get a steel structure,” Stull said. Stull said his team will begin laying the foundation and concrete during the delay. The new maintenance building will be erected in the same location as the previous building — next to City Hall — which was irreparably damaged by the Feb. 5 tornado. Pace also discussed the $4 million city/Hardin Memorial diagnostic imaging center due to begin construction on Commerce Drive. Pace

said there are apparent issues with the layout of sewer lines on the property, which will need to be moved prior to initiation of the project, and a quitclaim deed transfer will need to take place in order to move the sewer lines. Pace put a motion before the council to approve the deed transfer. “It’s basically trading easements,” Pace said. City council approved the motion unanimously. A ground-breaking ceremony is tentatively set for early October. Other agenda items include: •Approval of Aug. 11 regular meeting minutes. •Council approved a motion to approve waterworks

transfers by city clerk/treasurer Molly Janes. Janes said the Waterworks and Sewer Revenue Fund has a balance of $59,832.11 as of Sept. 8. •FEMA funding has been received and paid to the 10 part-time deputies on payroll during the Feb. 5 tornado cleanup. Pace said the funding was approved through FEMA for the processing of pay to come directly from the city, instead of rerouting funds via the sheriff’s department. •New Brandenburg resident John Proctor was approved by city council to an appointment on the Board of Adjustments. •A motion was approved by the council to re-appoint Leatta Cannady to the Board

of Assessment of Appeals for a one-year term. •The Meade County Water District contract has been approved and is waiting negotiation. •Pace commended city employees for the hospitality shown during the recent German judo team’s visit to Meade County. •Pace tasked council members Carol Nelson and Margaret Love to a committee geared toward development of a city flag. •Brandenburg City Police Chief Jeff Cox reported 138 complaint calls received, with an increase in drug charges, and 38 arrests. Cox also said that officers patrolled more than 7,000 miles during August.

Community rubs elbows at Andyville Days

On Sept. 6, family and friends from near and far converged at historic Stull’s Country Store in Payneville — once known as “Andyville” — for a celebration of the days of yore, good music, even better food, and tons of community fun. At the biennial “Andyville Days” event, attendees were treated to the delta smooth sounds of “Bluestown” and lead singer Gary Higdon, and to the down home tunes of Paul Janes, as volunteer cooks smoked and barbecued a variety of tasty meats with all of the trimmings. Children were taken on a journey back in time as they enjoyed age-old fun and games of ring-pitch, nickel-toss and face painting, as adults vied for top trophies in horseshoes and corn hole. Event planner Marlinda Stull, along side sister Missy Speaks and nephew Ryan Speaks, and Stull’s “jack-of-alltrades” Mike Hartley, were on hand to greet the packed crowd as cars and trucks lined both sides of the road, and even began overflowing into nearby cornfields. Marlinda Stull began the event in 2006 as a way to “bring back the old days where everybody got together.” The first Andyville Days — held in 2006 — brought more than 200 visitors to the much-anticipated event. This year’s attendance was a record breaker, leaving everyone with a wistful sense of days gone bye.

‘I think it is the best thing to hit Meade County in a long time.’

Fellow Meade County residents, it is time for you to act. The new ordinance commonly referred to as a “nuisance ordinance for the unincorporated areas” of our county will be coming up for a vote. The new ordinance is basically designed to protect, promote, and improve the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens. Fiscal Court is beginning to consider the new ordinance. It has already passed the Planning and Zoning board. Personally, I think it is the best thing to hit Meade County in a long time. I, like many of you, moved to Meade County from other places. I bought a piece of property and was given a title with some nifty deed restrictions. After a short period of time, I found out that the restrictions were unenforceable, sort of a joke played on the would-be buyer by the seller. First, it will give the sheriff enforcement powers that he presently doesn’t have, and give property owners the ability to file a complaint against violators and get something done about it. This ordnance is very basic, but it covers or addresses a number of areas; noise, junk vehicles in yards, uncut grass over ten inches (excluding farms), abandoned property, dilapidated unsafe buildings, smoke, and many other items. Many, if not all, of us have been powerless to get anything corrected up until this point. It’s sort of like living in Dodge City in the 1800s before law and order arrived. But, you have the power by picking up the phone, calling your magistrate and informing him or her that you support the new ordinance. Call the Judge/Executive. Let him know. We can finally move Meade County into the 21st century. Without laws or ordinances to protect the average homeowner or renter, our county will lose badly. You must remember, Meade County is competing with a formidable opponent, Hardin County, for a lion’s share of Fort Knox’s incoming personnel and business. We will only get one chance to make a favorable appearance. So make that call.

Nipping underage drinking in the bud FRANKFORT — Over the years, as the number of counties offering alcohol has increased, there has been a greater push by the state to ensure that underage drinkers are being protected. It’s been a largely successful effort so far, according to information from the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), which has two main programs that ensure those serving alcohol know the law, and know that they are being watched. The Server Training in Alcohol Regulations program trains about 4,000 servers and sellers a year. The classes focus on applicable laws, how to spot fake IDs, the physical impact alcohol can have, and how to deal with intoxicated customers. Operation Zero Tolerance, meanwhile, pairs ABC investigators with young adults between the ages of 18 and 20. Those men and women, who are not allowed to misrepresent their age, then try to purchase alcohol. Last year, there were nearly

Those with underage drinkers on their property can also be cited, even if they are unaware of the activity. These property owners could be charged with unlawful transaction with a minor in the third degree, which is also a Class A misdemeanor. I believe the state has done a good job when it comes to underage drinking, but that doesn’t mean we can let down our resolve.

A recollection of the day America, the world changed forever

The passage of time distorts perceptions and fogs the memory. I thought it worthwhile, therefore, to record for friends and relatives my impressions of that terrible day, Sept. 11, 2001. The day started out rather routinely, with the exception that I took the 7:30 a.m. train to Hoboken rather than the 7:14 a.m. “Midtown Direct” to Penn Station. Instead of going to my office on Madison Avenue at 59th Street, I went downtown to the World Trade Center for a seminar on the esoteric subject of oil and gas reserve valuation. I reported to the security desk at One World Trade Center at about 8:30 a.m. Security was rather rigorous and, having neglected to bring my pass as a member of the New York Society of Security Analysts, I had to wait until the guard produced a duplicate — dated 9/11/01. At 8:45 a.m. I suggested to my friend, Richard Cohen, that we take our coffee to the north windows to enjoy the view. Suddenly there was the roar of engines. Dick said, “A plane, and he is flying low!” I saw only a blur above, then the building shook. All was quiet. We saw no flames, no smoke, no falling airplane

parts, only fluttering shards of glass and scraps of paper. Everyone remained calm. No alarm sounded. The emergency strobe lights on the ceiling remained dark. The elaborate speaker system that had been installed after the 1993 terrorist bombing was silent. I phoned my wife, Sara, at 8:55 a.m. and left a message that a plane had hit the building but we were all right. (In case these would be my last words to her, I told her I loved her.) Only when we smelled smoke in the hallway did we decide to take the stairway down, about 12 to 15 minutes after impact. The going was slow, in the “C” stairwell due to the large number of people, but no one panicked. Despite eye-burning smoke, a spirit of comradeship developed. Some wondered aloud when they would be able to return to the offices to pick up briefcases and other items left behind. About halfway down, a group of 20 firefighters passed us carrying hoses, axes, chemical tanks and other equipment. We all wished them well, and I uttered a silent prayer. I didn’t know we were watching them go to their deaths. Around the fifth floor, we encountered water cascad-

ing down the stairs, making footing difficult. Finally, we emerged into the spacious upper lobby, always so bright and striking. I had long considered it the best architectural feature of the center, but now it was dark and foreboding. The great central plaza was a war zone, with rubble everywhere and bodies of the fallen. It was only then that I fully realized how precarious the situation was. At the lower lobby, the sprinkler system showered us from above. Water on the terrazzo floor made walking difficult. We finally ascended an escalator to the street. Firefighters outside the center directed me up Fulton Street. I turned to look at the twin towers and, for the first time, realized they both had been hit, the south tower having been impacted while we were deep in the stairwell. I crossed Broadway, where a large crowd was watching the conflagration. Someone said, “There goes another one!” I looked around to see a man jump from a high window, soon followed by another. I couldn’t watch and walked ahead, praying and nearly crying. Continuing on Fulton Street toward Nassau Street, I heard a roar and turned to see a mas-

sive cloud of smoke and debris rushing toward us. I soon learned this was the collapse of the South Tower. I was out of the North Tower no more than five to seven minutes, and had no way of knowing if my exit would have been blocked by the south building’s collapse. I picked up the pace and ducked into the subway station at Nassau Street, only to find that trains were not running. A block further, I tried the subway at William Street, where trains were operating, but not stopping. I was near Gold Street, when another roar and cloud of smoke signaled the fall of the North Tower — which I had left less than 45 minutes before. I walked north, almost dazed, to Chinatown. Thousands of people were walking across the bridge to Brooklyn, both on the pedestrian walkway and on the vehicular roadway. I worked my way to Canal Street, where a number of people remarked on my dust-covered clothing. Merchants had placed TV sets in their doorways, and cars and trucks were stopped with radios blaring the news of the tragedy. People were lined up six to eight deep at pay phones. I walked to Horatio Street to the apartment of my friend,

plane hit. He survived by diving beneath a marble bench. People ask if I’ve slept in the four nights since the disaster. I’ve had no problem sleeping, but when awake, I’ve been fixated on two thoughts: First, the fact that I was at ground zero during the attack of the north tower, albeit 50 stories below the point of impact. If the plane had come in lower or if the stairway had been blocked, I wouldn’t be here to tell my story. Second, the image of young firefighters and security people heading up the stairs as we were going down has given a new meaning to duty and honor and responsibility. The picture of these men has been seared in my memory. I can only think of Jesus’ words in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man may lay down his life for his friends.” The hate that inspired the raid has been eclipsed by the love and compassion and devotion to duty that has characterized New York and, indeed, all of America in the past few days. If we can retain this spirit, all the loss and suffering will not have been in vain. Albert J. Anton, Jr. Meade County Written Sept. 15, 2001

During all this time, Sara did not know if I was dead or alive. I phoned home at 10:45 a.m. from a pay phone in Chinatown, but the circuits to New Jersey were overloaded. A computer voice asked if I would like to leave a message (for a fee) and I did, but that message wasn’t delivered until later that afternoon.

VFW to host POW/MIA recognition ceremony, fundraiser By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com

The Veterans of Foreign War (VFW) Meade County Memorial Post 11404 in Brandenburg will be hosting two events in honor and support of veterans during the month of September. In his fourth year as Post Commander, Wilbur Beasley said a POW/MIA Recognition Ceremony will take place at the VFW — located at 770 ByPass Road — on Sept. 19 beginning at 11 a.m., and will be followed later in the evening by a Honor Flight fundraising dance. “First, we have the POW/ MIA ceremony, which will be the recognition of prisoners of war and missing in action personnel showing that they are not forgotten,” Beasley said. The ceremony will be held indoors and is free and open to the public, according to Beasley, and will in-

the Meade County Board of Education held Tuesday at the Board of Education, Superintendent Mitch Crump presented Howard Edgar Bandy with his diploma in front of a supportive crowd of friends and family, to include his brother, wife and daughter. “Two brothers serving in the Vietnam War is quite unusual,” Crump said. “A lot of times, during wartimes like that, they will not let both brothers in the war at the same time … but both of these two gentlemen did serve at that particular time. And as I said two months ago, it’s quite an honor to have you all here tonight.” Howard Bandy addressed the board and meeting attendees, saying he entered the armed forces in 1965 and completed basic training at nearby Fort Knox. Bandy completed Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at Fort Sill, Okla., and was shipped to Vietnam, where he spent 320 days from 1966 to 1967. After returning stateside for duty at Fort Hood, Texas, he went to work for Louisville Gas and Electric (LG&E) for the next 23 years. Bandy said he currently is employed at Wal-Mart in Corydon, Ind. “Thanks to you all for giving me this (diploma),” Bandy said. “I appreciate

corporate various items of military semblance, such as flowers and different stages of the American flag, which are placed on an altar in remembrance of soldiers still being held as prisoners, or who have never returned home. “What it does is recognize and honor those that are still missing, and those that are still prisoners of war,” Beasley said. “I still believe that there are prisoners of war. This shows that we have not forgotten them … we’re still trying to account for all of our personnel.” At 7:30 p.m., the Post will also host an Honor Flight Benefit Dance and fundraiser, to raise money to assist veterans of WWII in visiting the Washington, D.C. WWII Memorial. According to a press release from the Honor Flight Bluegrass program, the organization is dedicated to providing air transportation to veterans of WWII free of

charge to the memorial site. The organization has been providing this service to veterans since May 21, 2008, at an approximate cost of $250 per veteran. However, Beasley said many veterans are in their mid 80s to early 90s and time is running out, so the Post stepped up to the plate to help their “brothers

in arms” achieve this dream by hosting the Sept. 19 benefit dance. “Our Honor Flight Dance is for WWII veterans so that they can see the monument,” Beasley said. “They’re fading fast … and their monument was 60 years in the coming. A lot of (WWII veterans) are

disabled and cannot go on their own. This event raises money to help them get there … it costs them nothing. The sponsors or the chaperones on the flight pay their own cost … they pay their own way. The veterans themselves pay nothing. Once we feel we have accomplished what we can

for WWII veterans, we will go to the Korean and Vietnam veterans.” The benefit dance will include a raffle, door prizes and a silent auction, with all proceeds going toward the Honor Flight Bluegrass program. “We have not forgotten them,” Beasley said. “In holding to the theory of ‘no one left behind,’ we’re here to see to that.” For more information on VFW Meade County Memorial Post 11404, visit the Web site at www.vfwwebcom.org/ky/post11404 For more information on current or future events, celebrations or ceremonies, please contact the VFW at 270-422-5184, or Post Commander Wilbur Beasley at 270-422-4124.

it.” At the July 8 meeting of the Meade County Board of Education, the brother of Howard Bandy, Vietnam veteran Randall Bandy, achieved a lifetime milestone with the receipt of his long-awaited high school diploma, thanks to House Bill 60, which was passed by the Kentucky General Assembly and subsequently signed by Kentucky State Governor Ernie Fletcher (R) on March 5, 2005. The bill was passed in support of soldiers who were unable to complete their high school education due to service in the Vietnam War. Payneville resident Alan Redman addressed the board on the continuing issue of his request for a new bus route for students boarding the bus at Thad Redman Road. Redman briefed the board on research conducted via information obtained from the Meade County Courthouse, revealing several county roads that do not meet the “at least 1/2 mile long” criteria to qualify as a school bus route, set forth by school transportation guidelines. Redman specifically pointed out Echo Trail in Brandenburg as being in violation, and noted he had observed “eight to nine (violations) on the first five of 14 pages” of the courthouse obtained document. Redman also said he observed three off-duty school busses parked in the Kroger

parking lot, which specifically violates new statues presented by the board preventing public transportation to be utilized for personal purposes. Crump told Redman he was “available at any time” to speak with him in reference to his concerns, but reiterated his continued dedication over his eight-year tenure to consistency in adhering to established school transportation guidelines. Crump also said Redman was well within his rights as a taxpayer to bring his concerns to the board. “I appreciate you being here tonight,” Crump said. “You, as a citizen, have a right to be here.” Other agenda items include: •Approval of Aug. 12, 2008 meeting minutes. •Approval of accounts payable payroll. •Approval of construction fund payments. •Approval for employees’ salary payroll for Sept. 17, 2008. •Approval of school food service fund payroll. •Finance officer Susan Fackler reviewed monthly financial statements and said the numbers were comparable to last year. Fackler also asked for approval of the working budget for 2008-2009, which included an allocation of more than $600,000 for fuel costs. Fackler also said the Meade County school district had

absorbed the cost of preschool transportation due to funding cuts; local revenue decreased by 45 percent; and state grant revenues decreased by $430,000. The board unanimously approved the budget, which will now be submitted to the state. •Superintendent’s personnel report. •Approval to hire emergency substitutes. •Approval of emergency certification. •An approval of a military leave of absence for Meade County School computer technician Craig Tighe. •The approval of David Construction payments for application No. 20. minus a $38,000 professional fee and a $7,000 water treatment fee until approval is received

from BG-4 and Special Services. •Food service director Jennifer Miller received approval for the agreement and application for the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. •Approval for fall semester fundraising projects. Approval of the Meade County High School FBLA trip to Washington, D.C. on Nov. 12-16 for the 2008 National Leadership Conference. •Crump said the Cognitive Ability Test Scores (CATS) for Meade County schools are in, but could not be reviewed or revealed publicly by law until 12:01 a.m. Sept. 10. •Nancy Mitcham, Meade County Director of Special Education & Early Child-

hood Programs, said the enrollment of the Pre-school Program has decreased by 65 students. Mitcham also said Meade County schools will be offering a tuition based pre-school program to typically developing children between the ages of four and five. Slots will be limited at Brandenburg Primary (four slots), Ekron Elementary (15 slots), and Flaherty Elementary (five slots). The program will be one-half day, four days per week and is currently estimated to cost $50 per week.

September is National Preparedness Month: How prepared are you? Submitted by Ron Dodson Emergency Mgmt. Agency

As we look back, 2008 has been a banner year for emergencies in Meade County. The Feb. 5 tornado, the ice and snow storms of late February and early March, followed quickly by the April 18 earthquake, demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that things can and will happen in Meade County. A lifelong native of this county and now in my 19th year in emergency management, I have seen a little of everything comes to pass in this community: Hazardous chemical spills on land and water, flooding, severe storms, blizzards, ice storms — you name it. Preparing for all of these emergencies is as simple as 1-2-3. Let’s examine how you can be better prepared for future events in Meade County. 1. Make a plan. Every home and business needs their own emergency plan. To develop an emergency plan, ask yourself some important questions. What hazards can impact this area? Do we know what the disaster plans are for our work places and children’s schools? In the event of an emergency, do we have everyone’s contact numbers and an out of town contact? Is there a designated place for everyone to meet outside of the home and neighborhood? Only you can answer these questions and develop an emergency plan that will suit your family’s unique needs.

On the Meade County Emergency Management Web Site (http://meadeema.com), there is a download page with helpful guidance for you. If you don’t have access to the internet, contact me at 270-422-2776, and I can get you copies of the information. 2. Get a kit. Every family, home, and business needs a disaster supply kit including non-perishable food and water for no less than 72 hours (longer is better) and batteryoperated flashlights and radios. Personally, I prefer alternative powered radios that use not only batteries, but also have a crank-operated dynamotor to run the radio after batteries are long gone. On Feb. 19, 2009, all analog TV will go dark and small 2.5“ and 5“ analog portables will go the way of the Beta VCRs of the 1980s. Some companies do have available new Digital portable TVs, though most are more than $250. Radio Shack has a nice model with a 7” screen for around $200 on display locally right now. The store also carries crankpowered radios. Pamida is also a possible local source for crankpowered radios. 3. Be informed. The Meade County Emergency Management Web site, is designed specifically with you and Meade County in mind. There is a lot of information available, with more to come as the site develops further. Weather and hazard information and other updates are just a few mouse clicks away.

If you do not already own one, buy a NOAA weather alert radio with S.A.M.E. technology and set it up to alert you 24 hours a day of local emergencies and severe weather warnings for Meade County. These cost roughly $20 each, or more, depending on the model and features. Small portable units can be purchased as cheaply as $18$50 dollars to carry in the car, and in pockets or purses, too. Either way, it’s cheap life insurance for you and your family. 4. Get involved. Step four is for the more motivated people out there — get involved. Educate yourself about disaster preparedness. Meade County EMA will come to your church, civic group, etc., and present programs on a number of topics. American Red Cross First Aid classes are also available, as is CPR training. Join an existing Neighborhood Watch group or start one if one doesn’t exist where you live. Some people also join local fire departments in their communities. For others not wanting that level of commitment, CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is an alternative way to get a basic level of instruction to help neighbors, and yourself, in a crisis. Make a plan, get a kit, stay informed and if possible, get involved. It’s your family and your community. Resources are out there to help you, but you have to decide to take the first step toward preparedness. Are you ready?

On Sept. 6, Brandenburg’s first annual Ovarian Cancer Benefit and Yard Sale was held at Sweet Dreams Ice Cream and Arcade by owner Laura Tate in memory of her sister, and to raise money and awareness on the disease. Family, friends, and customers were greeted and treated with snacks, and were provided informational pamphlets on ovarian cancer, prevention and treatments. Tate will continue collecting donations through September to raise funding for research.

BRAC From page A1 as well as with members of the Governor’s BRAC Task Force — as the impact of Fort Knox’s realignment ripples throughout the region. Fort Knox’s major transformation and expansion — which is expected to bring more than 5,000 jobs and 7,000 families to the surrounding communities by 2011 — is one of the biggest economic developments in the history of Kentucky, Beshear said. “Even when I was at Fort Knox, it was no longer ‘if’ BRAC is happening — it is happening,” Needham said. “There is irreversible momentum.

At the other end of the continuum are the boys and girls who do not fit in well with the structure of the classroom (Type II). If their Type I siblings emerge from school cum laude, these kids graduate “Thank You, Laude!” They are sloppy, disorganized and flighty. They have a natural aversion to work and love to play. They can’t wait for success and they hurry on without it. Like bacteria that gradually become immune to antibiotics, the classic underachievers become impervious to adult pressure. They withstand a storm of parental protest every few weeks and then, when no one is looking, they slip back into apathy. They don’t even hear the assignments being given in school and seem not to be embarrassed when they fail to complete them. And, you

can be sure they drive their parents to distraction. For many, if not most, of these kids, their “battles” over schoolwork and homework represent a conflict between their basic temperament and the frustration experienced and transmitted to them by their parents. A strict, but not punitive approach in which accountability for schoolwork and homework is transferred back from the parents to the child will effectively motivate them to assume responsibility for their work for many of them. An excellent, practical description of this approach is provided by psychologist John Rosemond’s “Ending the Homework Hassle” (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1990). In unusually difficult cases, or when the previous ap-

proach has failed, the child may have a neurologically based learning disability or the complex of behaviors known as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). The cause of ADHD is currently unknown, but may include neurological or biological factors in some cases. Stimulant medication has been found to be effective for relieving the attention

Find time to engage in prayer every day “Prayer of this kind is good.” —I Timothy 2:3

Most of us who believe in the practice of prayer find it hard these days to find time to pray. Sadly, this is true of many priests as well. Since we cannot create more hours in a day, we have to be clever and imaginative with the hours we have. My favorite place to pray privately has become my car. It is one of the few places left where I am not interrupted or distracted. Since I drive back and forth from Louisville to Saint Meinrad once or twice a week, I have more time to pray than I first thought. When I started working at Saint Meinrad a little over three years ago, I would never think of leaving home without a stack of CDs or tapes or turning on the ra-

I usually arrive as thunderous bells gather the monks for their 5:30 am prayer time. As I walk into the huge complex, it is not lost on me that I work at a place saturated with 150 years of such praying. This is my prayer time.

As the Creator carefully cradled the still form, he pursed his lips and breathed his very life into the crown jewel of his creation. He would breathe more life into us, though. I believe our Creator breathed his very purpose into the essence of Adam’s being. Throughout the pages of the Bible, it is very clear that God desires to transform his planet through people like you and me. Whether it was David facing the giant Goli-

ath, Queen Esther presenting herself to King Xerxes, or Ananias confronting Saul, God has always used people to spread his influence throughout this planet. How does this work? How does God express his authority and rule through people like us? The answer is simple: We must accept the biblical call to discipleship and destiny so our planet may be changed. Discipleship requires mentoring and training. Unless Christians like you and me embrace these disciplines, we will never have the character and maturity necessary for God to truly express his rule and authority through our lives. Until

we begin to grasp the fact and I embrace the process of that each and every one of discipleship, we will find our us has a unique destiny and purpose, and God will find purpose, we will lack the kind of people Divine the motivation we he needs to express need to truly pay the Guidance his loving rule in the cost that biblical dismidst of our hurting, cipleship entails. dying world.

BUSINESS Pennies from heaven: Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classics continues legacy Friday, September 12, 2008

A8 - The News Standard

By Jorena D. Faulkner jorena@thenewsstandard.com

For more than 20 years, a local legacy has been thriving at the cutting edge of hair design. As Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classics owner, Heather Metcalf, and fellow stylists Melissa Wooldridge and Tessa Swink, observe September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; green ovarian cancer awareness wristbands displayed prominently at the checkout â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they look to the sky, smiling up at their benefactor for making the dream a reality for the savvy coiffure trio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She left it to me,â&#x20AC;? Metcalf tearfully said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a character; she was the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one and onlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;Ś she was really something.â&#x20AC;? Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classics founder Janet â&#x20AC;&#x153;Janna K.â&#x20AC;? Peterson began humbly enough, working for other salons in the Brandenburg area before deciding to strike out on her own. Metcalf said she attended hair design school knowing that upon graduation, she would go to work for Peterson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something she had grown up wanting to do. Metcalf had only been working for Peterson four years when the devastating diagnosis came. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Jan first started doing hair, she worked for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Wright Style,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Metcalf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She left there and opened her own shop. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d known Jan all of my life â&#x20AC;Ś she was like my grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter â&#x20AC;Ś she was like my mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was up in the hospital when they told her she was going to die, and she said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it â&#x20AC;Ś I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any more crying, because everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be just fineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she told us.â&#x20AC;? Taken on July 1, 2004, after being diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer, Peterson bequeathed her hard-earned investment to long-time prodigy Metcalf, who has dedicated the last four years in memory of her friend and mentor.

Metcalf fondly displays a photo of Peterson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in her trademark pink Cadillac â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the salon, to remind customers and staff alike that a guardian angel watches over the successful shop, and keeps it raining â&#x20AC;&#x153;pennies from heaven.â&#x20AC;? Decorated from head to tail with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s memorabilia, including an homage to Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and other era icons, jukeboxes, and classic collectibles such as antique, period hairdryers and various historical styling items, the salon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; located at 2075 ByPass Road, Suite 7 in Brandenburg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed a beat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love old stuff,â&#x20AC;? Metcalf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I should have been born in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the name â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic.â&#x20AC;? Metcalf said she relishes in the legacy generously left to her by Peterson, and totes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;down homeâ&#x20AC;? appeal of the salon as a major contingent of the continuing success of the venture. Being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;people personâ&#x20AC;? designed much in the same way as her predecessor, Metcalf said she and her staff keep the tradition of Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision going strong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the people,â&#x20AC;? Metcalf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You meet all kinds of people. You know â&#x20AC;Ś I love my job. I love coming in to work â&#x20AC;Ś you never know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen.â&#x20AC;? Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classics specializes in everything â&#x20AC;&#x153;hairâ&#x20AC;? as a full service salon offering a variety of services from cuts, color and styling, to permanents, facials and more. The salon also offers a full line of styling products, tanning services, and showcases a display of unique handmade art deco jewelry. Stylist Melissa Wooldridge has been with Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classics for nearly a year, and is also enamored by the daily interaction with the clientele and by the hometown atmosphere of the salon.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the people I meet everyday,â&#x20AC;? Wooldridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to beauty school with Heather (Metcalf), and I liked her. I love the (atmosphere); I always say that. We have a really good time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always laughing and cutting up.â&#x20AC;? Top quality services, professionalism and products aside, Metcalf said she also wants her clientele to experience the relaxing atmosphere of the salon, and said she feels it is important for customers walk away with more than just â&#x20AC;&#x153;great hair.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope customers leave with the thought of, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow, that shop sure is easy-going â&#x20AC;Ś theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really laid back.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I want our customers to feel relaxed â&#x20AC;Ś refreshed and renewed.â&#x20AC;? Metcalfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight-year-old daughter, Courtni, seems poised to follow the family tradition as a fourth generation stylist, as both Metcalfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aunt and mother were also hairdressers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Courtni) loves it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to follow in my footsteps. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just in my blood I guess.â&#x20AC;? Metcalf said she is in the hair design business for the long haul, and feels Peterson is still up â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;? rooting for the continued success of her star pupil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up there saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;go girl!â&#x20AC;? Metcalf said. Janâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Classics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; located at 2075 ByPass Road, Suite 7 in Brandenburg â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit the salon or call 270422-4800.

As part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, those who want to buy a home will get some help. The biggest item in the legislation is the credit of up to $7,500 that can be given to firsttime homebuyers. But that â&#x20AC;&#x153;creditâ&#x20AC;? needs to be looked at closely. Although it looks like a tax credit, the program is actually a loan that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll claim on your tax return. As such, it becomes an obligation that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll owe to the Internal Revenue Service over a span of 15 years. Specifics of the program are: â&#x20AC;˘Single taxpayers must make less than $75,000 (and married couples less than $150,000). â&#x20AC;˘The allowed credit is up to 10 percent of the cost of the house. â&#x20AC;˘The credit amounts to a zero-interest loan.

â&#x20AC;˘You must buy your home between April 9, 2008, and July 1, 2009. (The date is determined by the closing date.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;First-time buyersâ&#x20AC;? means you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t owned a principal-residence home for three years. If you owned a vacation home, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not disqualified. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin making payments to the IRS two years after you claim the credit. Payments will be made via your tax payments, although the specifics havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ironed out yet. Some considerations to think about: Even though this is given as a tax credit, it really is a loan, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll owe money to the IRS. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay, the standard IRS penalties and interest will kick in. If you sell your home, the money becomes due. The IRS doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be paid directly out of proceeds from the sale, but

you will immediately be obligated to pay back the balance that you owe. (If you sell and your profit is less than the amount you owe the IRS, the balance that you owe is forgiven.) The same situation would apply if you move but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say you move to a smaller place and rent out your home. When the home is no longer your main residence, the money becomes due to the IRS for that tax year.

King of Kentucky weeds, kudzu, offers goats a gourmet meal By Aimee Nielson UK College of Agriculture

ROCKHOLDS, Ky. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kudzu, a vining weed that can grow a foot a day, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly have those in Appalachia singing its praises for much of anything. In fact quite the opposite is true; most want the invasive pest to stop covering and killing every living thing in its path. But goats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to understand all the negativism surrounding the lush vegetation. Barry Arnett retired from Wall Street and came to Rockholds in Whitley County to work a 225-acre farm thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in his wife Ginnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family for more than 80 years. They built a log cabin on a hillside and began to shape up the farm. Arnett said he called the local University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service office to get some advice on what to do with the farm. After three recommendations, he decided meat goats would suit him and the farm quite well. So when UK researchers from Robinson Station in Breathitt County called Arnett to see if he would like to partner in a project, he hopped on the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was tired of sitting on my front porch and looking at the kudzu (across the road). I thought it looked ugly,â&#x20AC;? Arnett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you stop and see 20 acres of kudzu, you start to wonder how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get rid of it. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re either going to use lots of chemicals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spend lots of money â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you might could get it out with a bulldozer, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use a tractor. So, we talked with (David) Ditsch (Robinson Station Superintendent) about eradicating kudzu, and then the more we thought about it, we thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you know, you could use kudzu as a source of food,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; so we just needed to find some ways to manage it and keep it under control.â&#x20AC;? Ditsch and Extension Associate for Goats, Forage Production and Plant and

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE UK COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.

Goats are a good eradicator of kudzu â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an encroaching vine weed in Kentucky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in return, goats receive most of their nutritional needs by feeding on the plant. Soil Sciences Shaun Jackson worked with Arnett to outline a research project involving goatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; potential to control, eradicate or use kudzu as a nutrition staple. After 60 days on kudzu, they evaluated the goatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance and their effect on the kudzu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are finding they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat the kudzu fast enough, and from the data we collected today, animal performance is improving,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a possibility we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough goats on the kudzu right now, and that it is a good forage for them.â&#x20AC;? Ditsch chimed in and said literature reveals that kudzu should be able to provide most of the nutritional needs of goats. He does recommend producers add a good mineral supplement to help with some of the micronutrients kudzu does not supply. The research is also showing it may take quite a few goats to tackle an acre of the

rapid-growing rebel â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to establish a good stocking ratio for people who want to eradicate kudzu or for someone who wants to manage kudzu as sustainable goat forage,â&#x20AC;? Ditsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are testing three, six and nine goats per acre in this project and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty obvious that... right now, the kudzu is winning. So we may have to evaluate after this grazing season and see if we need to add in more goats per acre if eradication is our goal.â&#x20AC;? Jackson admits goats may not be a viable answer to fully eradicate kudzu, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shortchange its potential benefits to goat producers one bit. With more and more firsttime farmers entering the goat business, many of them wonder what they will economically be able to feed their goats. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of kudzu in Appalachia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be beneficial on both ends if we can get our

ratio up there, to make recommendations for people who want to eradicate it and also for people who want to use it as a major feed source for their goats,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There may even be an opportunity for goat producers to place their animals on a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kudzu-covered land, and both will benefit. It would be a win-win; they get feed for their goats, and the other people get rid of their kudzu.â&#x20AC;? UK Veterinarian Patty Scharko was on hand to help check the goatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body condition scores, weight and FAMACHA scores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a measure of parasite activity in goats taken by looking at the color of the insides of their bottom eyelid. She said for the most part, she was pleased with the parasite results and that perhaps eating higher on the plant was helping the goats stay further away from the pestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favorite spot - nearer to the ground. Ditsch said producers who choose to use goats for eradicating or controlling kudzu will face a few challenges, the biggest of which could be fencing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fencing is a challenge; it took quite a bit of time for us to construct these fences. The land does not lay uniform and you have to use a combination of fencing types,â&#x20AC;? he admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have something that grows as aggressively as kudzu, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to put a lot of goats in a smaller area to provide enough pressure on the kudzu. Temporary fencing may be an answer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fencing you can move as you go to get the goats where you want them. Plus, during peak growth, kudzu can grow 12 to 18 inches a day. It grows up in the trees and does damage to timber. It will grow so rapidly that it gets into and shorts out the fences. So there is some management involved keeping it out of the fences.â&#x20AC;? Arnett said after watching the goats tackle the kudzu, his perception has changed

somewhat about the invasive weed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Kentucky, since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really blessed with lots of good green stuff to eat, you want to have the goats forage as much as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And, kudzu is especially good, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an invasive plant and it looks ugly, and if the goats can get some good out of it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. At 22 percent protein, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite good for them.â&#x20AC;? He said at the beginning of the project, the goats did initially lose some weight, but he and the UK team attributed that to the new forage. Arnett recommends goats be transitioned gradually onto any new forage so their digestive systems have an opportunity to learn to process the new forage slower. The goats have begun to regain the weight and are adapting to the kudzu well now, he added. The project is formally ex-

Precautionary care for your lawn this fall season By Andy Mills CEA for Agriculture and Natural Resources

The last few years have been very hard on our lawns, especially newly seeded yards. In order for non-irrigated grass to have a chance for survival during drought and extreme heat, it has to have a deep, established root system. Spring seeded grass will not have an established root system. Now that we have had a rain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is the time to seed or re-seed your lawn. Grass seed must come in firm contact with soil in order for it to sprout. Therefore, overseeding

into an existing lawn does little good without disturbing the soil surface. Covering the seeded area with straw to prevent erosion is a must, especially on inclines. Tall fescues such as KY 31, Falcon, and Rebel take approximately seven days to germinate with adequate moisture. Bluegrass varieties will take two weeks to germinate, while most rye grasses will sprout in three to five days. Tall fescue is the most common and recommended due to its persistence and disease tolerance. October and November are the best months to fertilize your lawn. Fertilizing in the fall helps plants develop healthy, deep roots. Fertil-

izing in the spring promotes above ground growth and very little root growth, which is detrimental to the plants during a drought. Soil sampling is the cheapest way to find out how much and what kind of fertilizer to use. Also, a soil analysis will show if the lawn needs lime. Grasses growing in acidic soils will tend to be unhealthy and will have a poor or no response to fertilizer. Also, broadleaf weed control by use of herbicides can be done on established lawns in late October and early November. Most of our pesky weeds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dandelion, chickweed and henbit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are winter annuals. This means they germinate in the fall,

and flower and make seed in the late spring. The best time to kill these unsightly plants is when they are seedlings or very immature. As much time and money as we spend in and on our yard, we should spend it wisely. It is frustrating to have a one month drought deface or destroy a seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of hard work. Most of the time, the environment is out of our control. What we can do is make sure our lawn is as healthy as it possibly can be so it can, hopefully, survive summers like the past two. Publications on lawn care are available at the Meade County Extension Office located at 1041 Old Ekron Road in Brandenburg.

pected to last about two years, but Ditsch said they will probably try to expand it and tweak it some after that. The result hopefully will be published guidelines for goat producers and landowners with recommendations of stocking rates to eradicate or maintain kudzu for forage. For now, Arnett is happy to be back in Kentucky shaping up the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic farm and believes everyone could learn a lot from the weed-eating small ruminants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It certainly has dawned on me while sitting and watching the goats...watch how they eat ... and interact with each other and how they fight sometimes, people could learn a lot about life from goats,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Saint Martin Celebrates 160 Years Submitted article

Mr. and Mrs. Daymond Webb celebrate 50-year anniversary

Daymond and Evelyn Deloris (Pack) Webb will celebrate 50 years of marriage on Sept. 26, 2008. They were married at Old Rock Haven Baptist Church in Rock Haven, Ky., on Sept. 26, 1958. Daymond Webb retired from Pepsi Cola Louisville Bottlers after 43 years. Deloris Webb retired from Brandeis Elementary School, where she served as school secretary, after 23 years. They are the proud parents of Nathan Webb of Louisville, and Kimberly (Webb) Bruner of Brandenburg. They are also the proud grandparents of Misty (Webb) Layman, of Stafford, Va., Ashley Webb of Louisville, and step-granddaughter Jessica Giffin of Converse, Texas.

Achievements

Whelan siblings achieve scholastic excellence

Jessica Whelan, daughter of Anson and Sandy Whelan, granddaughter of Marion and Rosalie Whelan of Brandenburg, Ky., was recently awarded a 10-day trip to Japan. Jessica also received a certificate signed by President Bush, and a plaque honoring her academic excellence for having received only A and A-plus grades in school. Jessica is also an accomplished pianist. She presently attends Scott County High School in Georgetown, Ky., where she is enrolled in a four-year program in the Japanese language. In June, the top seven students in the Japanese class were chosen for a trip to Japan. As one of the first to receive this offer, Jessica happily accepted. Jessica flew to the city of Tahara — Georgetown’s sister city — a small peninsula off the coast of Nagoya. While there, she stayed with a host family, who had a daughter Jessica’s age, named, Ako Okuda. Jessica attended Fukue High School with Ako and took part in Japanese studies. The host family was very friendly and took Jessica on several outings, including a visit to the Tahara Museum, Festival Hall, and to an official Japanese tea ceremony and barbecue, as well as various other excursions. Jessica ate at a famous Japanese restaurant located on Mount Zao, and was showered with a multitude of Japanese gifts. As Jessica reflected on her experience, she said that Japanese people are “extremely polite and mannerly” and welcoming to others, and that she was amazed at the multitude of Japanese history and ancient traditions. “While I had a great time at the outings, the best part of the trip was just being around the Japanese people,” she said. “They were just so excited to have me visit them, and are extremely polite, mannerly and generous at all times.” Jessica plans to return the favor in the near future by hosting a Japanese student, possibly Ako, at her home in Sadieville, Ky. She is currently planning an itinerary of events to welcome her Japanese sister, and extend the same kindness that her host extended to her. Ethan Whelan, son of Anson and Sandy Whelan, grandson of Marion and Rosalie Whelan of Brandenburg, Ky., graduated from Scott County High School with a 4.0 in pre-engineering and overall GPA of 3.7. Based on high test scores in math, Ethan was hand-picked by Principal Southworth to participate in the Scott County Pre-Engineering Program. Ethan found that he enjoyed the engineering field, and has been accepted into the University of Kentucky College of Engineering. Ethan is an accomplished vocalist, guitar player and songwriter, and has received recognition and various awards for his musical achievements and performances. Ethan recently participated in the Scott County High School musical performance “Once Upon a Mattress,” playing the role of “Sir Richard.” During the summer, Ethan had the opportunity to work at the Toyota Manufacturing plant in the Summer Temp Program for 11 weeks. Toyota’s Summer Temp Program allows college students the opportunity to work 40 hours per week on the production line and earn money for college, as well as a perfect attendance bonus and possible college scholarship. “The summer temp program was a very positive experience for me and has solidified my resolve to study hard and be successful in the engineering field,” he said.

Nestled between the green hills of Flaherty, St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church has stood majestically for over 160 years. One has only to look around at the weathered stones in the cemetery, the beautiful nineteenth century church, and the other historic buildings to grasp the rich history of the parish. But, the bricks and the boards are only part of what makes up St. Martins. The hardworking, faith filled families of Flaherty have been the mortar of this church. The first church building dedicated to St. Martin of Tours was erected in Flaherty in 1848. Before the construction, Masses were here held in private homes (stations) for nearly three decades. The rectory that has housed 22 priests over the years, was built in 1879. The current church building was finished in 1893.Sometime between 1914 and 1926, a white frame schoolhouse was erected. The three-story building had grades one through eight on the ground floor, and the second floor was living quarters for nuns from Mt. Saint Joseph who taught there. From approximately 1934 until 1949 the large attic area was used as a dormitory for Catholic girls attending school there. Many girls from Rhodelia and Payneville — in the “lower end” of Meade County — boarded in that attic. A new high school was built in 1935. A large building at Ft. Knox was torn down for its lumber and giant beams to be used in construction of the school. The cornerstone of a new gymnasium with a stage, bleachers and restrooms was laid in 1947 and finished in 1949. It was the largest gym in the area at that time, and all the district games were held there. The new gym was also equipped with a movie screen and projector. Many an old farmer watched Shirley Temple dance across the screen there. The last building to be constructed on the church grounds was a new brick elementary building in 1958-1959. It continued to be Flaherty Elementary until the present school was built in 1990. Flaherty High School was consolidated with the Meade County High School in 1968. At that time, the old FFA building was remodeled into a parish hall. Sadly, the old high school had to be demolished in 2002. After sixty-four years of service to St. Martin’s by the Ursuline Sisters of the Mount, the last nun left in 1983. The whiteframed building — which served as both home and school for the sisters — now houses the parish offices and archives. On Sunday, Sept. 14, 2008, Saint Martin Parish will come together to celebrate 160 years of ministry in the Flaherty community. The day will begin at 11 a.m. with Mass in the cemetery on the site where the original church once stood. All of the buildings, including the parish archives, will be open for touring and reminiscing. For information call, the rectory at 270-828-2552 or visit the Web site at www.stmartinfl.org.

The seventh-ranked Elizabethtown Lady Panthers soccer team blew through Meade County and put up its second highest offensive output of the season with five goals. The Meade County Lady Waves (3-3 overall, 0-2 in district) struggled to get any offense going as the much more aggressive Lady Panthers (7-2-1 overall, 4-0 in district) won 5-0 Monday night.

“We knew it was going to be a tough game,” said Meade County head coach Dan Shook. “Obviously, we’re the underdogs. I was hoping that we would hold them closer than what we did.” The Lady Waves did hold Elizabethtown scoreless until 23:30 left in the first half when the Lady Panthers executed a perfect header off of a corner kick. “They just charged the ball and nailed it,” Shook said. “(Elizabethtown) plays the ball very well out of the

The 2008-2009 Meade County Cheer team has a lot more experience this year with 12 returning players. With that leadership, the team has set high goals, which include competing at the Jam Fest National Championship in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The squad consists of four seniors: Emily Benham, Audrianna Armstrong, Jessica Padgett, and Roni Robinson.

Cheer From page B1 recuperate from injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of their injuries are muscle related,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just keep doing something over and over again; that leads to injuries.â&#x20AC;? Injured or not, every member of the squad gives her best each day. The team practices for two hours a day, and also participates in gymnastic classes outside of practice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; adding an extra two to three hours of extra training to their week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are hard workers,â&#x20AC;? Wood added. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diligence and determination was clearly noticed by a new choreographer that worked with the squad over the summer. Jeremy Sanders, a former U of L cheerleader and cheer coach in New Albany, Ind., trained the girls for three straight days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the three days, he even said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;these girls work hard. I should bring my squad down here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Wood said. The 2008-09 team has upped the ante this year, by incorporating new choreography and more advanced stunts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difficulties of our routines have been up a lot from last year,â&#x20AC;? said senior cheerleader Roni Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to tumble more and expand our skills.â&#x20AC;? Transitioning to a more technical team has also been part of the cohesion between the cheerleaders. Last year, the team boasted

nine new members and plenty of inexperience. With a year under its belt, the group is prepared to elevate itself in all aspects of their game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year has been much better,â&#x20AC;? said senior captain Emily Benham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like a unit this year. Certain people would go off in groups last year, but now we all hang together and have fun. We are all pretty good friends.â&#x20AC;? The cheerleaders feel they have a solid core and more experience this season, they had to replace to pivotal roles at the start of the year. Both Chelsea Garris and Ruby Bowers graduated last spring. Garris was a flyer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the hardest positions to plug on the squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were hard holes to fill,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were captains, and (the girls) have big shoes to fill.â&#x20AC;? In addition to memorizing several routines, the team also has an overabundance of cheers to remember â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 52 to be exact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My freshman year, we had to learn all 52 cheers in two weeks,â&#x20AC;? Benham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be time consuming and a lot of hard work.â&#x20AC;? The ability to learn quickly and adapt to the surroundings are both qualities accomplished cheerleaders must possess. A perfect example of adapting on the go, occurred during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jam Fest National Competition in Indianapolis. Robinson became ill during the first night of the event, forcing the team to learn an entire routine in 30 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really proud of them,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a great job.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have be on your toes all the time,â&#x20AC;? Benham added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As cheerleaders on the floor, we all learn different positions. So we know a little bit of everything and can learn quickly. And the coaches really help us out and motivate us when we need it.â&#x20AC;? Aside from the competitions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which will start in November â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Meade County cheerleading squad will be seen on the sidelines of every football and basketball game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our main goal is the games,â&#x20AC;? Benham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are cheerleaders first and foremost. I like to cheer at the games. I love when the crowd cheers with us, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big semifinals game or something like that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so exhilarating.â&#x20AC;? Thought the football team began its season with a 0-2 record, the cheerleaders are still high in spirits. In fact, it makes them cheer even harder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more fun to cheer,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crowd is usually more spirited when they need to cheer their team on and make our players do better.â&#x20AC;? One of the biggest attributes of the team is its chemistry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so important to get along,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially with girls; they can get catty. We all have a same goal in mind and work really well together.â&#x20AC;? Though the aspirations of the team are lofty, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not unattainable. The team wants to qualify for the Jam Fest National Competition in Myrtle Beach, S.C. this coming march. The squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four seniors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Audrianna Armstrong, Jessica Padgett, Benham, and Robinson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all want to make the best out of their last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to cheer in college,â&#x20AC;? Padgett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my last year and I hope everything goes well.â&#x20AC;? Benham is the only senior who wants to continue cheerleading in college. She plans to attend U of L next fall and try out for the team. For now, the Meade County cheerleaders are set on building camaraderie, strengthening its routines and boosting Greenwave school spirit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things no matter how frustrated you get; no matter how hurt you are; or sweaty you get, you just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live without (cheerleading),â&#x20AC;? said Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you love and you live it.â&#x20AC;? With that kind of dedication, the cheerleaders wear their scars and bruises proudly.

dropped its second straight game against Class 5-A thirdranked John Hardin Bulldogs (2-0), 16-0. “The problem was, we put ourselves in too many adversities,” said Meade County head coach Larry Mofield. “There are so many times you can save yourself from drowning. We didn’t tonight and we put ourselves in bad situations all night.” Yellow penalty flags littered the field, as the Greenwave accumulated 106 yards on 11 penalties, giving the Bulldogs great field possession time and time again. “We held a good football team to 16 points,” Mofield said. “We had a bunch of foolish penalties. That’s a discipline thing. That’s my fault for allowing us to have a lack of discipline like that. We will not win games if we make foolish mistakes like that. Tonight, we gave them a short football field to work with; it could have been a whole lot worse.” The much-improved Greenwave defense held the Bulldogs offense — which racked up 652 yards two weeks ago against Woodford County, including 555 yards on the ground — to an anemic 216 total yards Friday night. “We didn’t get the job done offensively,” said John Hardin head coach Mark Brown. “We were very lethargic. We didn’t stay on blocks and got whipped a few times up front. “I thought (Meade County) did a good job. They know us so well. They are always physical. Tonight, we couldn’t use our speed to our advantage.” The field may have played a role in the lack of offensive output by both teams. With a constant mist throughout the entire game, the turf became slick, which hindered a John Hardin team that relies on speed and quick cuts. “The field was wet,” Brown said. “When our players got

the ball it was already wet. It was a little hard to work with. When we made a cut, we’d slip a little bit. But we can’t use that as an excuse.” Despite the field conditions, the Bulldogs couldn’t be contained. With 9:52 left in the first half, John Hardin running back Elias Camper ran up the middle, breaking several tackles for a 25-yard touchdown. Alan Harber added the point after to make the score 7-0. The Bulldogs had one of its many great field positions late into the first half, but squandered the opportunity with time running out when Greenwave senior defensive end Marcus Feemster sacked quarterback Alex Dingle. The Greenwave entered halftime with some momentum after Feemter’s big hit on Meade County’s 25-yard line. “We went into halftime only one score down from a third-ranked team,” Mofield said. “We felt pretty good about that.” The second half began with senior Alex Furnival giving the Greenwave its best field position of the game after taking the opening-half kickoff to the 40-yard line. But again, the Greenwave offense stalled. Meade County received another break with 3:12 left in the third quarter when the Bulldogs were on the attack. Dingle looked for a wide receiver in the corner of the end zone, but his pass was picked-off by freshman cornerback Thomas Wilson — his first career interception. But, the Greenwave offense sputtered again after several costly penalties and a sack. “We’re not blocking everybody,” Mofield said. “We’re not getting any yards on first down. We’re getting second and nine, second and 15 or 20 when we get penalties. No team in the country can overcome that and win.” The fourth quarter opened with an insurance touchdown by the Bulldogs when Dingle heaved the ball into the end zone and senior wide out Tim Marcum came down

On the ensuing drive, Meade County looked to answer back after junior quarterback Tyler Mattingly hooked up with favorite senior wide receiver Michael Addesa for a 27-yard gain. The drive was squashed again and the Greenwave was forced to punt. Time became another enemy to the Greenwave as the Bulldogs added two more points after another costly error by the Meade County offense. Backed up into its own end zone, the Greenwave botched a shotgun snap, sailing the ball out of bounds for a Bulldogs safety. “Shotgun snaps need to get better,” said Mattingly, who started under center for only the second time at the varsity level. “We can move the ball sometimes and other times we can’t move the ball. We did move the ball tonight and we need to get better.” “We got to find some blocking up front and get the offense going,” he added. “The defense did as much as it could tonight.” Mofield agreed that blocking is a huge problem for the offense. “Blocking is a team effort,” he said. “It’s not just the linemen, it’s the wide outs, the wings, and the fullbacks. This is a team loss.” The Greenwave offense

ended the night with 63 total yards. Eleven of the yards were on the ground. The team amassed over 50 yards in sack losses, which accounted for most of the poor yardage output. Junior fullback Ricky Funk led the team with 32 yards on eight carries. Junior wing back Kevin Graham contributed 21 yards on three carries, while senior wing back Alex Furnival returned to fullback position for six carries and 11 yards. “We’re scratching around trying to do anything,” Mofield said. “Right now, we have a lack of depth from the wing position. We had to move Alex (Furnival) back to fullback. I don’t think we got the results we wanted, even when we moved him back there.” Mattingly bore the brunt of lost yardage with 10 carries for negative 56 yards. He was also 3-for-11 for 52 yards, with one interception. Michael Addesa had two of those catches for 41 yards. “We’ll bounce back,” said Mattingly. “We got better from last week. (John Hardin) had just as much talent as Fern Creek. We’ll get better.” For John Hardin, Camper had 63 yards on 11 carries and Landon Savoy had 53 yards on eight carries. Dingle ended the night going ninefor-17 passing with 71 yards. Marcum had three catches for 40 yards.

just Kyle, Carl and Jimmie battling for the title), I did get a little bit of a chuckle out of it because that would be the best case if you just had to race one other guy,’’ Edwards said. “I think it’s going to be a lot of guys. I think it’s going be defined by your bad days just like it usually is.” All of the favorites have been in The Chase before, but Johnson is the only one to have won it — twice, in fact. Edwards has contended and finished third in 2005 and Busch ran fifth last season and 10th the year before. “At this point, there is so much ahead of us as we go into the final 10 races,” Johnson said. “Just to have ourselves well positioned against our key competitors ensures that we have every opportunity. I sure would like to see us bring home another Manufacturers’ Cup as well as a driver’s championship.” Johnson is looking to become the only driver other than Cale Yarborough to win three straight titles. He is on a roll heading into The Chase with back-to-back wins, but it’s hard to count out the two drivers that have won the most races on the series this season. Busch has won more races

The 35-yard bullet was also Pascley’s first career touchdown as a Card. There was a plethora of first career touchdowns for the Cards on Saturday, including redshirt freshman Victor Anderson, senior defensive tackle Adrian Grady, sophomore linebacker Brandon Heath, and sophomore tight end Pete Nochta. “It helps to get that first touchdown out of the way,” Cantwell said about his teammates recording their first career touchdowns. “You get that swagger to you and you realize that you can play this game and play well.” Cantwell went 15-for-23 passing with 203 yards and two touchdowns.

A triad of scoring

The Cards can score on defense — which they proved during the UK game when they scored U of L’s only points — offense and special teams. “It was good to see us come out and play hard,” Kragthorpe said. “We scored on all phases of the game: With offense, defense and special teams. Any time you do that, it’s good to see.”

And that’s to race hard and still mind what we’re doing and trying to keep up front and keep up those consistent finishes. “If we can go for a win — great. If not, it’s

going to be top-fives and tops to get this deal done.’’ Then, there are The Contenders and they are comprised of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon. Junior is in equipment that could get him his first title and it’s hard to count out two former Indiana open-wheelers that have combined for six NASCAR Cup titles. “Yes, we are at a disadvantage,” Gordon said. “We have not gotten the amount of bonus points that those other guys have there ahead of us in

seventh minute of the second quarter. He picked up a fumble and rumbled 19 yards into the end zone. After crossing the end zone line, he handed the ball to the referee and ran back to the sidelines. It was pretty uninspiring after all the promise he gave his teammates when he finally got his first score. “It was an experience,” senior defensive tackle Earl Heyman said about Grady’s touchdown. “I have two touchdowns myself. I was messing with him about it and he said he was going to do something crazy (when he got his first touchdown). Then he just runs into the end zone and drops the ball. I was like ‘yeah, it’s a little different when you actually do it.’”

ing his first three kickoffs. Philpott received the biggest — and most sarcastic — ovation of the game when he finally managed to kick the ball inbounds on his fourth try with eight minutes left in the second quarter. “I thought our special teams did better, other than kicking the ball out of bounds three times. It looked like me off the first tee,” Kragthorpe joked after the game.

Louisville natives shine When high school rivals Anderson (St. Xaiver High School) and Doug Beaumont (Male High School) both accepted to play football at U of L they knew they were going to be great teammates. “We knew we were going to be a good pair,” Beaumont said. “We just want to make the team better. Now, we’re teammates and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Beaumont lead the team in receiving with 82 yards on five catches and has quickly become one of Cantwell’s go-to guys. Anderson led the team in rushing with 116 yards on 12 carries, along with a touchdown. The two young players will become more of a presence in the Cards offense as the year goes on, according to Kragthope.

Shook said. In the second half, the Lady Waves were even more aggressive than usual, attemptin to match Elizabethtown’s ferociousness. “Normally, when we play an aggressive team we step it up and become more aggressive,” said junior fullback Emily McMurry. The Lady Panthers netted three more insurance goals in the second half at 32:38, 22:05, and less than a minute later with 21:33 left in the game. Samantha Matherly scored two goals in the second half for Elizabethtown, which

U of L easily won the game against Tennessee Tech, however one aspect seemed to lack: The kicking game. Freshman kicker Chris Philpott recorded three penalties after kicking the ball out of bounds duroutshot the Lady Waves 163. Menser had eight saves. “The girls made a good effort,” Shook said. “I think they played a tough game. If you’re beaten by a top-10 team, I can live with that if we made the right effort. Our girls definitely had the effort tonight.”

Lady Waves drop district opener Last Wednesday, the Lady Waves lost their first district game to North Hardin, 4-0. Although the Lady Waves outshot North Hardin (5-1 overall, 1-0 in district) 21-18, they could not find the back of the net. Meade County made two game-altering mistakes before the half, which resulted

Moving on The Cards know they have a tough schedule ahead of them. But Kragthrope instills the “24-hour rule” into his players. “We can celebrate for 24 hours,” Heyman said. “Then, it’s back to work and all we’re worried about is Kansas State next week. Win, lose, or draw we have only 24 hours to worry about it, then it’s the next game.” The home team Cards face Kansas State Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

Wildcats steamroll NSU The University of Kentucky Wildcats beat Norfolk State 38-3 as freshman Randal Cobb replaced sophomore Mike Hartline at quarterback midway through the first quarter. Cobb passed for one touchdown and ran for two more. The quarterback controversy resulted in the duo alternating in the second half. Cobb appeared to be the fan favorite receiving cheers, while boos erupted as Hartline reentered the game. Cobb may have given the lackluster Wildcats offense just the jolt it needed. Head coach Rich Brook is not set on either quarterback as a starter yet for tomorrow’s game against Middle Tennessee State at 7 p.m. in two goals. “We should have gone into the half down one to zero,” Shook said. “But those mistakes killed us.” Menser had six saves for the Lady Waves. “Right now we can’t even work the ball up the field to get a shot,” Shook said. “The offense starts when we get the ball. We need to work on our transition and get the ball up to the midfield to the forwards.” Meade County did not start its district play on the right foot. With two straight losses, the Lady Waves looked to fight for their first district win against Central Hardin on Wednesday. Check next week’s issue of The News Standard for results.

points, and we’re behind. So we are at a disadvantage. But we are optimistic, you know, anything can happen and if we went into it thinking that we are already going to lose, then we definitely will lose.’’ The next category is the pretenders, which is comprised of Clint Bowyer, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. Bowyer and Hamlin enter The Chase fifth and sixth respectively and have been there before, but neither of the two is ready to assume the lead-dog positions on

their teams. Harvick is already 11th in the standings and while he’s run well at times he hasn’t done enough to warrant consideration for a title run. “I think, you know, 2006, we were able to capitalize on the days when we had really good cars and were able to capitalize and win some races,” Harvick said. “I think we won five or six races that year. I believe we won (Martinsville) and Loudon. So we had a lot of momentum but we faded at the end. I felt like our 1.5-mile program is very good right now. For whatever reason, that’s been our weakness before and right now that’s our strength. So hopefully that continues, and we can keep that going forward on the big tracks, because that’s where you’re going to have to be good, because there’s so many of them.’’ That brings up to the final category, the Darkhorses. Most won’t think these guys have a chance of winning, but I’m going to state why they do. Jeff Burton has made The Chase the last three years running and he’s finished in the top-five in the points four times in his career. Sure, his only win this season was at Bristol, but he has a knack for hanging around and getting good finishes, which could put him in contention with four races to go.

“Our first goal was to get in the Chase and we’ve got that done and now have to find a way to step it up and the fact that Kyle and Jimmie and Carl have separated themselves, we have to find a way to answer that call and see if we can or not,’’ said Burton. Many people forget that it was just three years ago that Greg Biffle took runnerup honors to Stewart for the 2005 championship. After a two-year hiatus, Biffle is back and like Burton, he has a way of hanging around – and winning a race from time to time. Finally, there’s Matt Kenseth. Remember, folks, he’s a former champion and if he gets hot, look out. Kenseth has made The Chase every year and if things go his way he could be battling come Homestead. “I don’t feel very good about next week and probably Martinsville. Our short track stuff hasn’t run like it used to for some reason. We’re missing something with that combination, but our bigger track stuff seems to be running OK. Our Dover stuff is good and Carl’s been good at all the mileand-a-halfs and big tracks, so I feel pretty good about the big tracks and don’t feel too good about the short tracks after today.”

Waterfowl season opens to Canada goose Submitted by Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources FRANKFORT — The goose decoys that gathered dust all spring and summer in your garage may soon be placed in a grassy field waiting for honking Canada geese. Although temperatures still feel like summer, waterfowl season began Sept. 6 with the opening of resident Canada goose season. “The resident Canada goose population is stable to slightly increasing,” said John Brunjes, migratory bird biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “We are in good shape. Our target goal is 50,000 resident geese and we are right at that number.” Many waterfowl hunters in Kentucky look west for the best hunting, but resident Canada goose numbers are evenly distributed across the state. In the Bluegrass and Pennyroyal regions, agricultural lands are the best places to search for Canada geese in September. “All the guys I know that hunt them and do well, hunt them on fields just like in winter,” Brunjes said. “Areas such as grasslands will hold them. Do some scouting and find where they are feeding, and go there.” Farm ponds where Canada geese roost are good spots to try in low light, cool periods of the day. “In this heat, geese move early

and late,” said John Akers, maintenance director for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife who waterfowl hunts as many days as possible each year. “During this time of year, the early morning and dusk are best. They stay put during the day in this heat. A pond with clover, alfalfa, or silage nearby is a great place to start. They are looking for fresh cut greenery.” Brunjes warns hunters to consult their local paper’s weather section for sunrise and sunset times to judge legal shooting hours, which begin a half hour before sunrise and end at sunset. “Make sure you don’t take birds coming into ponds after legal shooting hours,” Brunjes said. Big waters hold resident Canada geese in September. The huge Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley complex is a great place to hunt resident birds. “There are a lot of them around here,” said Pat Brandon, wildlife regional coordinator for the Purchase region for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “On the first couple of days of the season, you can kill some geese.” The backs of bays on Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley with bulrushes emerging are hot spots for September hunting. “In the backs of the bays where the bulrushes are the thickest, that is where they are at right now,” Brandon explained. “There are lots of places on Kentucky Lake and Barkley to hunt them. For the first couple of days

Boating deaths at a five-year low Submitted by Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources FRANKFORT — Five people lost their lives so far this year on the state’s waters, making boating fatalities for 2008 the lowest at this point of the season in the last five years. “These lower statistics are what we love to see,” said Sgt. John Anderson, boating education coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “This trending toward a historically low accident and injury fatality rate is the kind of information that makes law enforcement professionals happy.” Through nearly the first eight months of 2008, Kentucky boaters have reported 41 accidents with 26 injuries. These accidents cost five lives. By comparison, 71 accidents occurred on Kentucky waters in 2007 with 13 fatalities. “Reports from our officers indicate a good boating season so far,” Anderson said.

“The change is that 2008 is a much safer season than in years past.” The “Keep It a Safe Summer” boating safety campaign combined with intensive patrol efforts have contributed to these positive changes, Anderson said. “We are putting this word out for people to continue to be safe,” he said. “We want people out enjoying our waterways and having good stories to tell when they get home, not tragedies.” Anderson reminds boaters to avoid drinking alcohol while operating a boat. Take frequent breaks when driving a boat to avoid fatigue. Wear a personal floatation device or lifejacket when the boat is under power. Be aware of other boaters and pay close attention at all times when on the water if operating a boat. “The waters of Kentucky are a safer place to be this year,” Anderson said. “We hope Kentucky boaters and visitors keep this up.”

of the season, it is almost a sure thing.” Scout for bays with bulrushes and plan out a place to hunt. “They are creatures of habit, resident geese go to the same places every day,” Brandon explained. “You can almost set your clock by them.” The undeveloped Land Between the Lakes shoreline provides better places to hunt because there is little chance of conflict with landowners. Lake homes and cottages dot the shoreline on other areas of these lakes, especially on the western shore of Kentucky Lake. Veteran goose hunters often pass on shooting at large groups of geese during the September season to prolong the season. “They only shoot the small groups to avoid educating big groups of birds,” Brandon said. “That may extend their hunting for a few more days. They get smart in a hurry, however.” A few dozen decoys placed facing the wind in groups of 8 to 12 works for field and water sets. A couple of decoys placed on the shore near bulrushes or other vegetation helps draw in resident geese in a shallow bay. A few coot decoys mixed in with these may help trick birds on the last couple of days of the season. Several crow decoys set downwind and off to the side of the goose decoy spread helps fool older, smart birds in a field hunting situation.

Grasslands are one of the best places to hunt Canadian geese. “Hunters must remember that areas legal for dove hunting are not legal for waterfowl hunting,” Brunjes said. “They cannot hunt near dove fields. You also don’t want to hunt near where people are feeding livestock. Even though it is a legitimate agricultural practice, it is still baiting.” Resident goose season runs from Sept. 6-14. There is a twobird daily bag limit. The North-

east Goose Zone, the West-Central Goose Zone and the Ballard Reporting Area are all closed to waterfowl hunting during the resident Canada goose season. Consult the 2008-09 Kentucky Hunting Guide for Dove, Wood Duck, Teal, Woodcock, Snipe and Crow for more details. The guide is available wherever hunting licenses are sold, on-line at fw.ky. gov, or you may request one by calling 1-800-858-1549.

Strange but True

By Samantha Weaver •Married women aren’t likely to be surprised by the following tidbit of information: Studies show that women with husbands typically do 30 percent more housework than single women do. •It was Ferdinand Drucker, a writer and consultant who was considered to be the father of modern management, who made the following sage observation: “In all recorded history there has not been one economist who has had to worry about where the next meal would come from.” •Have you ever heard of a cicerone? It’s someone who samples and recommends beer, much like a sommelier does for wine. Not bad work, if you can get it. •If you’re the superstitious type, then you probably already know that you’re never supposed to whistle backstage at a theater, aboard a naval vessel or in a newspaper’s city room. •With the steadily rising food prices we’ve been seeing lately, you might be having a harder time filling your refrigerator than you used to. You might not realize, though, that part of the problem might be the fact that the size of your refrigerator is increasing, too. Since 1980, the standard refrigerator has increased by 10 percent, to 22 cubic feet. Incidentally, the clothes dryer has grown by 25 percent in the same time period. •Those who study such things say that Lithuanian is the language that is most like the original Indo-European tongue from which all Western languages are descended. •Thought for the Day: “Success consists in being successful, not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace, but there’s no palace till it’s built.” -- Fernando Pessoa

Horoscopes HOCUS-FOCUS

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Aspects favor new romances for unpaired Ewes and Rams. Already-paired Arian twosomes experience renewed harmony in their relationships. Money matters also take a bright turn.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Use that strong Bovine determination to help you keep the faith with your convictions while you move through a period of uncertainty. Things begin to ease by the week's end.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Pay attention to your intuition. It could be alerting you to be more careful about accepting a "statement of fact" simply on trust. Don't be shy about asking for more proof.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Concern for the well-being of someone in need is admirable. But don't forget to take care of yourself as well. Ask a family member, close friend or colleague to help you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It's OK to focus on the demands of your career. But try to avoid misunderstandings by also reaching out to family and friends. Your sharp intuitive sense kicks in by midweek.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Keep a rein on that green-eyed monster. Jealousy is counterproductive. Instead of resenting a colleague's good points, concentrate on developing your own abilities.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Spending time on a creative project during this high-energy week can pay off both in emotional satisfaction and in impressing someone who is glad to see this side of you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Now is a good time to start planning that trip you've put off because of the demands on your time. Be sure to choose a destination that is new and exciting.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That upbeat mood in the first part of the week makes you eager to take on new ventures. A more serious note sets in later to help you assess an upcoming decision.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A high energy level gives the Goat the get-up-and-go to finish outstanding tasks before deadline, leaving time for well-earned fun and games with friends and family.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Dealing with disappointment is never easy. But the wise Aquarian will use it as a vital lesson and be the better for it. A close friend has something important to say.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Best bet is not to get involved in an argument between colleagues until you know more about who started it and why. And even then, appearances could be deceiving. Be alert.

Making a difference at the polls: Teen votes count

We make history every day. Every choice we make on a daily basis — whether big or small — becomes part of history. This year’s presidential election will be no exception; it will be one for the history books, for sure. I was very excited when I recently registered to vote; this will be the first national election that I’m eligible to participate in. But now that I’m registered, I’ve discovered a major setback: I’m clueless about the candidates. Will I still vote? Yes, so that gives me approximately seven weeks to make up my mind as to which candidate will earn my checkmark. If you’re still undecided too,

you can make up your mind Obama with “change,” and by educating yourself over linking Republican nominee John McCain’s platform the next few weeks. with “country first.” A popular aphoBut as far as who rism that’s often Youth heard in the months Columnist wants higher taxes, who’s for the death before an election is, penalty, or what “If you don’t vote, their intentions are don’t complain.” with the war in Iraq, Don’t put yourself in it’s all a big puzzle the no-complaining that I haven’t quite category; use your figured out.

TNS unveils new ‘SOS’ Program Staff Report The News Standard Due to federal and state educational spending cuts, many schools — to include the Meade County education system — expect to suffer severe economic hard-falls throughout the coming year. The most affected areas, according to recent Meade County Board of Education meetings, is projected to impact extra curricular activities such as after-school programming, scholastic clubs and sporting organizations. What can we do to ensure our children continue to receive these critical educational benefits? In an effort to assist funding and scholastic achievement in after-school activities, The News Standard announces a fundraising initiative geared to supplement organizations in funding such programs. The “Support Our Schools” (SOS) Program is a groundbreaking initiative developed by The News Standard whereby qualified organizations can earn critical funding in order to continue serving the children of Meade County. By partnering with The

News Standard, participating organizations may earn 15 perecent from each verified annual subscription sold at the current rate of $26 per year. That is $3.90 per annual subscription sold that your organization will receive to support your club or organization. Many organizations host “outside” fundraisers throughout the year to supplement much needed funding. However, with The News Standard “SOS” Program, your organization keeps Meade County money where it is best earned, and spent — in Meade County — while providing those supporting your organization’s mission with a subscription purchase to the best local coverage by “Meade County’s Paper for the People”... The News Standard. Please consider joining our initiative to support Meade County students today by signing up to become a participating member of The News Standard “SOS” Program. For more information, contact The News Standard at 270-422-4542. “The success of after-school programming ... hand-in-hand, we can make it happen!”

The Librarian’s Corner Submitted by the Meade County Public Library BRANDENBURG — September is National Library Card Sign-up Month, and the Meade County Public Library wants to make sure that your child has the smartest card of all — a library card. Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning. “A library card has always been the most important school supply of all,” said Diana Seal, interim director of the Meade County Public Library. “Kids can come to the library to get homework help and check out books, but they can also check out free music, DVDs and use the Internet to make after-school life a little more fun. There’s a lot hap-

pening at the Meade County Public Library.” A recent study by the American Library Association also showed that families use libraries to spend time together. Forty-four percent of survey respondents report taking their children to the library for this reason. Activities at the MCPL during Library Card Sign-up Month will include a drawing for a gas card to our new patrons. Library Card Sign-up Month began in 1987. For more information on how you can sign up for your library card, visit the MCPL at 400 Library Place, call 270422-2094, or visit the library’s Web site at www.meadereads. org. The library is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Celebrities and other public figures also take a stand behind their favorite nominees, but don’t be swayed by other people’s perceptions. The only way to identify the candidate that best corresponds with your personal views is to watch the news, read the newspaper and take the time to visit the candidates’ Web sites, www.johnmccain.com and www.barackobama.com. What do you think about the vice presidential nominees? Nine vice presidents have succeeded to presi-

dency in the United States throughout history, so it’s important to consider who each party’s number two is, and what they stand for as well. Do you know what Sen. Joe Biden (D-Delaware) represents, or Alaska governor Sarah Palin? Whoever wins this election will be in office for the next four years. These are very tumultuous times in country, and it’s a responsibility for the youth of America to be educated and selfinformed about who the next leader of the country will be. You can have a say in who wins — all you have to do is go out and vote. You must be registered at least 28 days before the elec-

tion takes place, so don’t delay. Nov. 4 is the big day — that only leaves about three weeks to get registered. Visit the Meade County Clerk’s Office Web site for more information about elections, or to download a voter registration form, at http:// countyclerk.meadecounty. ky.gov. Voting is easy, takes only a few minutes of your time, and puts the power of the people in the limelight. I encourage all my fellow classmates who will be 18 by the date of the general election to get educated, register to vote, and do your American duty. So be part of history — go vote!

SPMS girls basketball teams shoot for success The Stuart Pepper Middle School seventh- and eighthgrade girls basketball teams took J.T. Alton Elementary to court on Monday, as the Waves played their second game of the season. The middle-schoolers have been working to improve all aspects of their game, under the guidance of coaches (and teachers) Randy Howard and Todd Saylor. Both teams won their games Monday night, with the eighthgrade team earning a monster 39-15 win. The teams play next on Thursday when they host Scott Middle School.

Prevent bullying: What parents can do By Jennifer Bridge CEA for Family and Consumer Sciences

Bullying happens at all ages of childhood and adolescence, although there are more problems during middle school and high school. It is highly important for both the children who are victims and the bullies themselves that ways are found to resolve the situation before tragedy occurs. Parents must take the responsibility and find the resources to work with their children and the schools. What is bullying? Bullying is real violence, not imagined by children. It takes three forms: Physical, such as hitting, spitting, kicking, pushing, or taking or destroying personal belongings; verbal, such as mean teasing, namecalling, taunting, or threaten-

ing harm; and psychological, such as spreading rumors, shunning and other removal from social relationships, and intimidation. Male bullies are more likely to use physical violence, while females use more verbal and psychological tactics. Bullies are more likely to steal, do drugs, or engage in other negative behavior. Victims usually experience lowered self-esteem, a decrease in school performance, fear and anxiety, and vague physical complaints such as stomach and headaches. What can Parents do? You must first recognize signs that your child is being bullied. Such signals may be crying, complaints of illness, and general reluctance to go to school; increased fear and anxiety about school; or belongings missing or damages.

Ask your child in an indirect way about how things are going as he walks or rides the bus to school, at recess, at lunch, and on the way home. Ask if he has seen children being bullied in school and what exactly is happening. Your child may not feel free to tell you immediately about himself for fear that the bully may find out and make life worse for him. Listen and take your child’s answers seriously. Stay calm and give your child plenty of time to talk. It is important to let your child know that you believe her, situation is not her fault, and you will try to do something about the problem. Do not tell her to ignore the bully or to fight back. Doing so would likely make the situation worse. Together with your child, think of ways to avoid the bully if possible: Take an-

other walking route home, arrange for a different bus to ride, or find a trusted older child to walk or ride with your child. Encourage your child to speak out to a teacher at an early point in a bullying incident. Explain the difference between telling (explaining facts and standing up for yourself) and tattling (telling to deliberately get someone else in trouble). Advocate for your child. Do this only after you have received your child’s permission to act upon your ideas. Let school authorities know about the situation and insist that they take action to make the school safer, especially supervising children more carefully. Find out school district policies about bullying. Work to strengthen policies if necessary.
