Otter Creek Park to close indefinitely Jan. 1 By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
Lousiville Mayor Jerry Abramson announced Monday his plan to save the city $20 million through budget cuts, with one of the first major steps being shutting down Otter Creek Park. The park — located along Hwy. 1638 in Meade Coun-
ty — is owned by Louisville, and loses $500,000 a year, Abramson said during a press conference on Monday. “It’s too expensive for the city to continue operating,” he said. The 2,600 acre park is frequented by 500,000 people per year, according to a recent press release, and is a

Reservations made at the conference center will be honored through June 30, though the rest of the park will be off limits. “(Mayor Abramson) called Monday morning to talk to me about it, and asked if the county wanted to take it over,” said Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft. “But we
can’t afford it; we don’t have the money in the budget ... especially if the city of Louisville can’t afford it.” One million dollars is budgeted for the park annually, said Jason Cissell, a spokesman for Louisville Metro Parks. He said $500,000 of the budget is paid for by park revenue

Horse-drawn wagon rides along the Ohio River were a popular attraction during Saturday’s Christmas by the River festival.
City welcomes the season at Christmas by the River By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
The 11th annual Christmas by the River festival was held Saturday at Riverfront Park. Hundreds of Meade Country residents and visitors flocked to the attraction, which began at noon — a much larger crowd than last year’s event due in part to the outstanding weather, according to Amy Haynes,

event coordinator for the city of Brandenburg. Throughout the day, visitors were entertained by local choirs, school choruses, dance students and other local bands who spread the cheer of Christmas with a variety of carols. To help visitors beat the cold, First Federal Savings Bank employees served hot chocolate and the Meade County Wrestling Boosters sold snack food items. More than a dozen craft booths gathered under a big blue tent with a wide assortment of Christmas décor and other homemade items for purchase. The Citizens on Patrol (COP) silent auction featured an array of donated baked goods and homemade items for people to bid on as well. Visitors also enjoyed scenic wagon rides which were horse- and mule-drawn throughout Riverfront Park and Buttermilk Falls. A fireworks show kicked off at 5:30 p.m. as Brandenburg Mayor David Pace was assisted by Santa Claus to “flip the switch” on this year’s light displays. Mr. and Mrs. Claus then set up shop for children to visit and have their pictures taken with the jolly couple. The light display at Riverfront Park will be available every night beginning at dusk and will end at midnight on Jan. 2, 2009. According to Haynes, over 1,600 visitors drove through the park last weekend. To drive or walk through the park is free, though donations are welcome and will be used toward next year’s annual event.

NEWS Officials ‘prepare for the worst’ during training exercises Friday, December 5, 2008
A2 - The News Standard
Submitted by the Meade County Emergency Management Agency
November was a busy month for local emergency responders and government officials. Along with their usual daily activities, a total of 69 leaders of both local government and first responder agencies received training in advanced levels of Incident Command and Management skills as a part of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The system is prescribed by the Homeland Security Presidential Directives 5 and 8, mandated by President Bush and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the years following the 2001 terrorist attacks. The Meade County Judge/ Executive, county treasurer, the mayors and city clerks of Brandenburg and Muldraugh, as well as public works directors, county EMS, E-911 senior staff, and road department supervisory personnel all attended a series of training classes conducted throughout November by Meade County Emergency Management. In addition to those personnel, leadership from the following local fire depart-
Park From page A1 and the other $500,000 is paid by city funds generated by tax dollars. Abramson said closing the park by Jan. 1 can save the city $180,000 for the last half of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. The park was initially declared closed on Dec. 14, but on Wednesday the date was extended to Jan. 1 so patrons can use the park’s lodging and other facilities over the holidays. Cissell said the park’s eight full-time employees will be reassigned to other departments within the Louisville Metro Park system. Meade County, the state park system, Fort Knox, and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources had been approached about taking over the park for years, Cissell said, though the city received “no buyers.” However, Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett stated on Tuesday that the department is interested in taking over the park. He plans to meet with Abramson and Metro Park officials to discuss the option in greater detail. Gassett said the Fish and Wildlife Department would only be interested in Otter Creek Park if the hunting ban currently in place is lifted. Craycroft said he would
ments also attended the training; Battletown, Ekron, Flaherty, Meade County Fire Protection District, Muldraugh, Payneville and Rhodelia. They were joined in receiving this training with personnel from the State Fire Marshall’s Office, American Red Cross, the United States Air Forces’ Civil Air Patrol, and Breckinridge County personnel from Hardinsburg, Harned, Irvington, McDaniels and Webster fire departments. During the classes, lecture training was reinforced by numerous group exercises and activities in which the administration of several disaster scenarios were played out to allow class members to gain a hands-on feel for managing large scale incidents that extend for long periods — from multiple days to several weeks, and even months. Planning for work shifts, ordering and managing resources, and general oversight of all matters — including financial concerns and demobilization — were a part of this training. “This training provides local personnel with an experience which goes beyond the normal scope of operations these agencies encounter,”
said Ron Dodson, Director of Meade County EMA. “It enables them to increase their skills in doing long range planning for large incident organization and creating and using the correct support documentation should
look further into the county operating Otter Creek Park if the deed stipulation that the park be used for recreation could be lifted. The stipulation was included in the deed while the park was federally operated from 1936 to 1947, after which the land was ceded to the city of Louisville. A press release from Abramson’s office said the Department of the Interior has the sole power to alter or remove the recreational land use deed restriction. If the restriction were removed, Craycroft said the county could potentially sell part of the park for housing developments and sell some of the timber. The hunting ban could be altered without federal approval. The main entrance will be blocked after Jan. 1 and cabins will be winterized, according to the Otter Creek Park Web site. Metro Parks and local law enforcement will monitor the property after it’s closed. Craycroft said Abramson stated during their phone conversation that Louisville city officials may revisit the possibility of reopening the park during the next fiscal year, if the park remains stagnant with no entity operating it. “It caught me off guard,” Craycroft said about the park shutting down. “The thought we’d lose Otter Creek Park never entered my mind.” The park was a featured stop during recent tours of the area given for fed-
eral employees and their families that may move to Meade County through Fort Knox’s base realignment and closure. A small water park opened inside the park last summer. Otter Creek Park is also home to an observatory, nature center, disc golf course, and alpine climbing tower. Other cuts made by Abramson include: •Closing Louisville library branches and community centers for one extra day a week. •Canceling road-paving projects. •Eliminating grants to arts groups, which is estimated to save $500,000. •Cutting $92,000 designated for Waterfront Park and the Belle of Louisville. •Eliminating $240,000 in grants to Louisville community and business groups. On a related note, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear met with President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday to ask for federal financial assistance. According to a recent press release, Kentucky’s state revenue is off by $456 million through June 30. The state’s general fund is estimated to be short by more than $1.3 billion over the next two years. Questions about booked events at the Otter Creek Park, and how refunds can be issued may be directed to Otter Creek Park at 502942-3211. After Jan. 1, call Metro Parks at 502-4568100.

‘Ho, ho, ho’ not ‘woe, woe, woe’
Finances and the state of the nation have many people saying “woe, woe, woe” instead of “ho, ho, ho” this holiday season — all the more reason to make this the year to finally regroup and refocus on what’s at the core of the season. A Long Island Wal-mart employee was trampled to death and two men shot each other at a Toys ‘R Us in California on Nov. 28 — Black Friday. What a way to kick off the most wonderful time of the year. The country’s auto industry is balancing on a straight pin, the economy is in the midst of an “official” recession, foreclosed homes and bankrupt businesses are as plentiful as pecan pie, and hundreds of thousands of American troops won’t be home for Christmas. At least gas is under $2 per gallon. It’s hard to be optimistic (or at least un-sarcastic) as the jingle and jangle of this holiday season unfurls, but instead of fretting over finding the last Elmo Live or Legends of Guitar Hero game, we need to put things into perspective. What is important? Five year olds may disagree, but Elmo is not important. Video games are not important. Diamond earrings are not important. The latest, greatest cell phone is not important (OMG!). So, what, then is important? Sit with family members, with friends, with coworkers, acquaintances, enemies or strangers, and figure it out. Is the health of loved ones important? Is the roof over your head important? Is food on the table important? Are irreplaceable memories, long-withstanding friendships, acts of kindness, faith, and belief in the spirit of the season important? Turn off the depressing evening news, put away the wish lists and credit cards, and take a good look around. Now ask yourself: Are you going to progress into the Christmas season with a “ho, ho, ho” or a “woe, woe, woe?”
Working across party lines must begin To many people, it must have been a remarkable picture. After months of bitter campaigning, President-elect Barack Obama sat next to Sen. John McCain for a meeting a few days ago. They talked at length about how they could reach across party lines to discuss — and move forward on — some of the nation’s most challenging issues. If they can do this on a national level, why can’t we do it in Kentucky? The truth is: we can and we must. At a defining hour in our state’s history we need the same kind of bipartisan spirit. Quite simply, we need to work together — without concern for partisanship and without a desire to posture and score political points. Kentuckians expect us to do this. They need us to do it. In recent weeks, however, it has been suggested by some of my colleagues that such resolve is not possible. My colleagues, particularly Republican leaders in the state Senate, have criticized the fact that I campaigned hard for Democrats in the elections that ended earlier this month. They say that such campaigning threatens the ability to work together
Business know-how for disabled Veterans Veterans Post Freddy Groves If you have a post-9/11 service-connected disability and are tired of waiting on the Department of Veterans Affairs to come through with the right benefits, you might be asking yourself if there isn’t a better way. There is. Have you considered starting your own business? The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities program has brought together some of the top business brains in the country. It was started at Syracuse University and has spread to five other colleges, all with the same goal: to help disabled veterans start or expand a small business. Countless veterans have gotten a start with the program. Who’s to say you can’t do the same? Getting into the Entrepreneurship program isn’t easy. You have to want it bad. Applications, essays, letters of recommendation — it’s all necessary to get your foot in the door. Once you’re in, it’s even harder. But if you have a business idea you’re passionate about and the drive
to succeed, you just might be a good candidate. The program has three phases: 1. Online self-study courses. 2. Nine tough days of campus residency with workshops, lectures, programs, presentations, latenight studying and building business plans — in other words, total immersion in business principles to help you start and grow your own business. 3. One-year of ongoing support. It’s this last part that some veterans were leery about. Would they really provide support? Yes, they do. Think about it: having the opportunity to pick the brains of some of the top business people in the country and starting a business of your own from the ground up. All you need is an idea. The program is free to qualified veterans and is financed by private donations. To learn more, go to www.whitman.syr.edu/ ebv/. Write to Freddy Groves in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

on issues. That’s narrow-minded thinking. We just experienced a hard-fought election. Now, let’s close the book on the politics, set aside the partisan rhetoric and adopt a spirit of collaboration and unselfish thinking as we act to confront the monumental economic challenges before us. This is the kind of leadership Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington have promised, including our Senior Senator Mitch McConnell. This is the kind of collaborative leadership we also need here at home. Don’t misunderstand me. There’s a place for politics. The collision of ideas that occurs during a campaign is like a big physics experiment that — when it works — produces the best leaders and focuses them on the most pressing problems. This centuries-old system, though, features a time for politics and a time for policy. The system works best when — after the heat and pernicious attacks of the campaign are over — people of opposing philosophical bent can work together for the good of the state.

The editorial writers have an agenda to help Frankfort’s big spenders avoid making hard budget decisions by extorting even more of our hard-earned money. The survey’s results would — in their skewed view — bolster their misguided claims. But the fact that the newspaper used such misleading information to impugn Kelly for keeping his no-new-taxes pledge raises serious doubts about the credibility of its position on the need for more taxes. As for a calculator, even if 1,169 jobs did get cut — nearly half of which the association’s survey results cited as nonteaching-related jobs — the numbers don’t lead to more taxes. The state holds 1,238 public schools, meaning
that, on average, each school — even if the association’s incomplete numbers were right — would have lost less than one employee each. Most reasonable and clear-thinking Kentuckians wouldn’t consider that grounds for a tax increase. In fact, some cuts may be appropriate — even without budget problems. An analysis of data in the NCES Digest of Education Statistics shows Kentucky ranks last in the nation when the ratio of teachers is compared to total school staff. Even if I disagree with a publication’s editorial positions, I respect the ones that carefully and thoroughly research their positions. They support editorial positions with sound reasoning and solid facts. But I disdain sloppy, unprofessional work by journalists on whom the public relies for accurate information. You should, too.

During the week before Thanksgiving, the 4-H Teen Club held a food drive at the Meade County High School. Flyers and posters where hung up around the schools (both the Freshman Academy and the 10-12 building) to inform students about the drive, including what to donate, and where to drop off the items. All items collected from this drive where to be taken to the local Extension Office, and given to the EFNEP assistant, Loretta Skaggs, to be packed into backpacks, and given to needy children who wouldn’t have enough food at home to last through the long Thanksgiving break. All items collected had to be easily opened, and nonperishable. Items like crackers, fruit cups, peanut butter, beef jerky, and other easyopen canned goods where taken. The club is planning on having another drive after Thanksgiving, in time for the Christmas holiday break.

Christmas Decorating Safety Tips A fire on any day seems bad, but a fire on Christmas seems to be the worst. Each year, hospital emergency rooms treat about 8,100 people for injuries, such as falls, cuts, and shocks related to holiday lights, decorations, and Christmas trees. Have a safe and happy holiday season by following these safety tips.
• This Christmas, consider using LED Lights. They last longer, use less energy, are nearly unbreakable and they don’t pose a fire hazard!
• Don’t overload Power Strips or Extension Cords! • Unplug your Christmas tree before you leave or go to bed. • Keep your tree at least three feet from furnaces, radiators and fireplaces. • Do not place the tree where it may block exits.

Dozens of local businesses and individuals dropped off their hand-crafted holiday items during the days prior to the start of the festival, all of which were arranged along tables and on the walls of the courthouse. Wreaths, swags, cake and

Now here’s a tip! By JoAnn Derson
•“I know of two ways to clean the glass doors on the fireplace. One is to mix a paste of ash and water and a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid, and use that to scrub soot off. The other is those white ‘magic eraser’ sponges. Make sure you test a little spot, though, because if you have etched glass doors, the sponges can mess them up sometimes.” — H.Z. in Vermont •“Here’s how to get more space in the fridge if you have some dishes that are covered in plastic: Lay chopsticks or kebab sticks across the lip of the dishes, then stack them. This works so well for us that we keep several chopsticks right in the fridge for this purpose.” — C.B. in California Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

At 6:30 p.m., participants will begin their trip — from the library annex along Library Place to Broadway, then along Broadway to Main Street, which runs into Riverfront Park, where they will travel through the dozens of light displays that make up Christmas By The River. When they leave the park, they will follow the same route back to the library annex for refreshments, according to Powell, who says the trot covers a distance of 1.8 miles. To ensure safety, Powell said participants:
•Should not use music, radio, or telephone headsets. •Should wear clothing that will make them visible since the trot will take place after dark. •Should stay within the course and follow all police and course marshals’ instructions. •Should note that although police vehicles will lead and follow the participants, there will be traffic on the course.

Why? Because we’ve set a higher standard for ourselves. This is what makes us unique as a family. Someday you will understand that, too. QUESTION: I could use some advice about a minor problem we’re having. Tim, my six-year-old son, loves to use silly names whenever he speaks to my husband and me. This past week it’s been “You big Hot Dog.” Nearly every time he sees me now he says, “Hi, Hot Dog.” Before that, it was “Dummy,” then “Moose” (after he studied M for moose in school). I know it’s silly and it’s not a huge problem, but it gets so annoying after such a long time. He’s been doing this for a year now. How can we get him to talk to us with more respect, calling us mom and dad, instead of hot dog and moose? DR. DOBSON: Ordinarily, it would not be a big deal for a child to use a playful name for his parent. But that isn’t what appears to be happening with Tim. It sounds more like a classic power game to
me. And contrary to what you said, it is not so insignificant. Your son is continuing to do something that he knows is irritating to you and your husband, yet you are unable to stop him. That is the issue. He has been using humor as a tactic of defiance for a full year. It is time for you to sit down and have a quiet little talk with young Timothy. Tell him that he is being disrespectful, and that the next time he calls either you or his father a name of any kind he will be punished. You must then be prepared to deliver on the promise, because he will continue to challenge you until it ceases to be fun. That’s the way he is made. If that response never comes, his insults will probably become more pronounced. Appeasement for a strongwilled child is an invitation to warfare. This is the time to deal with it.

same way? Too often in the church, significant decisions are made by majority rule, without ever consulting Jesus, the “bridegroom of the church.” Let us never forget that committees and majority votes cannot be allowed to have the ultimate authority in our congregations. Jesus Christ, the one who gave His life for His Church, must always have the ultimate authority and the final say. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.
of faith, we may do, like Gideon of old, build an altar to “Jehovah Shalom,” the God of Peace. If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morning service starts at 11 a.m. We invite you to listen to our weekly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

Visit ‘Outta Space’ when room runs out at your home place By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
Outta Space customers understand the true meaning of the old saying “never judge a book by its cover” after meeting the business’s owner and operator, 23-year-old Marlaina Drury. Drury may be young, but she knows how to successfully run a storage solution business: with quality customer service and extensive, updated knowledge of all types of storage solutions. Outta Space, which is located off the ByPass in Brandenburg next to WMMG radio station, offers more than 15 models of portable wood storage buildings, various carport garages, multiple U-Haul vehicles and custom-made barns to accommodate storage and moving needs. At the early age of 15, Drury began working for a small storage business that was located in the parking lot of Save-A-Lot in Brandenburg. “I started out in a 12 foot x 24 foot shed,” Drury said. “That’s all we had, but we made it work.” While working for the small business, she was introduced to the owners and carpenters of the Built Rite Company — owned by a Mennonite family just outside Hardinsburg, Ky. — and the Eagle Carport Company, located in Virginia. She decided to stick with both companies as her suppliers for Outta Space. Drury decided to enter the storage solution business after hearing local friends and relatives say a business of that kind was needed in Meade County. “I have a lot of friends around this area and I had heard complaints,” she said. “(People) like to have (their storage) in their backyard.” Through her experience, Drury noticed more and more people want to move their storage items out of
downtown storage buildings that are located miles from their homes to custommade wood storage buildings they can maintain in their own backyards. Drury knew opening her own business was a giant leap forward in her career, but she took the risk anyway. “(The business) was kind of a chance thing,” she said. “Then I started (the business), and I plan to continue it.” Though Outta Space has only been open since Nov. 4 (Election Day) of this year, Drury said her clientele is showing increased growth. “I’m starting to develop a pretty good clientele of regular customers now,” she said. “I was actually quite busy since it was Election Day, and I’m in the process of getting some signs made.” At Outta Space, Drury strives to ensure her customers are satisfied. By scheduling one-on-one consultations, Drury said customers receive a clearer picture of what products are most suitable to their needs, and allows them to buy exactly what they want. “I think people like the face-to-face interaction and being able to see what they are getting instead of dealing with larger companies,” she said. “This is a small area and (Outta Space) helps save people time, gas, and less travel time, as well.” During the consultations, Drury said many customers were shocked to discover how experienced she is with the business — even at such a young age. “People comment on how young I am and being the owner of the business,” Drury said laughing. “They say ‘you’re so young and so educated’ … It’s good to hear those things.” In addition to providing outstanding customer service, Drury realizes times are tight for everyone so
she makes it a priority to find quality deals for her customers in order to offer a plethora of discounts. Payments can be made in full or customers can arrange a payment plan, known as “rent to own.” In these situations, the customer pays the first month’s rent plus a deposit and monthly payments thereafter until paid. The deposit is refundable once the building is paid in full. Each newer model storage shed comes with multiple warranties and all wood buildings are treated, including the underneath. Drury has an array of storage buildings on display, but she recommends scheduling a consultation to see other types available. Many customers choose to have their building special ordered and custom made to fit their needs. In those cases, the building is generally delivered for free within two weeks, depending on how long it takes to be constructed. Carports are all special ordered from Eagle Carports Company. A 10 percent down payment is required to order the carport and the remaining balance is due on delivery day. Carport delivery is also free and can range from two to four weeks on arrival. All carports come with a workmanship and/ or rust warranty, Drury said. U-haul rentals are also available for customers needing to relocate hefty items. Outta Space is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Drury is flexible with after hour business appointments, as well. For more information about the various types of storage solutions and moving options available, contact Drury at 270-422-1215 or email her at outtaspacellc@ yahoo.com or visit the office at 1715 ByPass Road in Brandenburg.

AGRICULTURE Extension agent is savvy resource for farmers, gardeners
The News Standard - A11
Friday, December 5, 2008
By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
Andy Mills may say he’s only as smart as the books in front of him, but as an all-things-agriculture connoisseur, he packs a lot of punch on his own. Mills has been a vital resource to Meade County farmers, livestock owners, gardeners — or anyone else with a need for agriculturebased know-how — for nearly 10 years. A Meade County native, he’s dabbled with farming and livestock since an early age, and has pursued his interest in agriculture — specifically livestock production — all his life. “We had a small farm ... and we raised a little bit of everything,” he said. Mills’ father, Harry, was a part-time farmer, growing tobacco and hay, and raising about 30 cows. His mother, Teresa, was a “city girl” that adapted to the farming lifestyle. As a boy, Mills and his brother went hunting and trapping, and experimented with growing pickles and peppers and raising rabbits. “My brother and I were the adventurous ones,” he said. “We had about 30 or 40 rabbits at one time ... and we’d make about $300 or $400 a year as teenagers (selling pickles and pep-
pers). We thought we were doing pretty good.” Mills first showed livestock at the county fair during his junior year of high school. He attended college at the University of Louisville where he was an electrical engineer major, before he transferred to the University of Kentucky and attained an animal science degree. He began to advance to graduate school, while taking education courses at the same time, though changed directions when a 4-H extension agent position was offered to him in Marshall County, Ky. “At the time, you couldn’t work (at an extension office) in your home county, so I stayed in Marshall County for 10 years,” Mills said. “They changed the rule then, and a position in Meade County opened up so I took that in 1999.” Mills — whose official title is County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources — has been aiding local residents ever since, offering information and input about an enormous amount of topics. “Agriculture includes a lot,” he said. “It’s helping farmers, people with gardens, people with bugs in their houses, water gardens, snakes, wildlife, landscaping, and more. If I don’t

County Extension Agent Andy Mills has been a knowledgeable asset to Meade County farmers, gardeners, or anyone with an agriculture-based query for nearly 10 years. know the answer to a question, I try to find it with the resources I have.” Mills talks with University of Kentucky specialists on a weekly basis, utilizing their expertise to heighten his own awareness. Most of the questions Mills receives regard beef farming, he said, a subject that’s right up his alley. Mills lives on his family’s farm and raises registered Angus. He’s orchestrated
several studies and trials using artificial insemination to try to breed the highest quality, most efficient calves possible. “We’re in the process of an improved genetics study where ... we took 78 cows and (artificially inseminated) half of them with a bull prone to fast growth and the other half with a bull that’s shown just moderate growth,” he said. “We’ve just weaned (the calves),
and weighed them ... and are working on results.” Mills said recorded test results from other such trials show the use of high quality genes produces better quality calves, but he — like many farmers — wants to see the results in person instead of just looking at them on paper. In addition to beef cattle queries, Mills has also appeased questions about “a chicken with a bulging
eye,” a skunk in a garbage can, and a snake found in a dryer. “I’ve probably been asked to identify 70 to 80 snakes since I’ve been here,” he said. “Everybody always assumes they’re poisonous ... but I haven’t (identified) a poisonous one yet.” He’s answered many questions about hay supplies in lieu of the droughts that hit the area over the last two years. “I’m not a vet, so medical questions I direct to the professionals in the county that handle those questions, but I can help as far as creating health routines and vaccination programs,” Mills said. “With the droughts ... I’ve talked to a lot of people about using supplemental feed for cattle since (droughts) create less-nutritious hay which can lead to poor conception rates.” When not in the office, Mills enjoys turkey and water fowl hunting, and spending time with his family. His two children, Clay and Kenzie, have done their fair share of showing livestock at the county fair, though Mills said they don’t boast the passion for farming that he has. “They never found the desire for it that I had, but I don’t push it,” he said. “As long as they stay active doing something, I’m happy.”

Greenwave’s replace graduating stars with inexperienced seniors By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com The 2008-09 Greenwave basketball team is a bit of an enigma. Uncertainty surrounds the team that returns four seniors, but lost seven of the 15 players
last year to graduation. Though the team sports a solid senior core, it still may lack some experience. “I got more questions than I have answers right now,” said head coach Jerry Garris, who is beginning his seventh year as the coach, and posts a 101-68 ca-
reer record. “I just don’t know. Hopefully we can find some answers before the first game.” The rawness of the team is largely due to graduated players. Of the seven seniors, four of them recorded over 500 minutes

During a 40-minute drive to Fort Knox a few weeks ago, I realized how much Meade County is in need of a community rec- Good Call reational center. The purpose of my venture to Fort Knox was to attend a Meade County swim team practice. I imagined riding Ben a bus 40 minutes Achtabowski one-way to endure another grueling swim practice, then jumping back onto the bus only to arrive home late into the evening … four to five times a week. It sure doesn’t make joining a swim team easy. However, the team still boasts an impressive forty-plus member team and has proven to be one of the better swim programs in the area and the state. I immediately gained a tremendous amount of respect for all the swimmers and their dedication to a sport they love and participate in regardless of the compromising situation. During my brief visit to the swim team’s practice I talked to head coach J.P. LaVertu and one of my first reactions was, how hard is it to practice 40 minutes away? “We have no other choice,” LaVertu said about the lack of facilities. “We have to come here. I have one of the largest teams in the state. We’ve had some success in the last few years and people have finally seen everyone who can benefit from a facility. It’s not just for the team. It’s the wellness of the community. Of course, I have a big dog in the fight, but it’s still not just about (the swim team).” Mr. LaVertu is absolutely right; Meade County’s lack of an indoor pool/recreation center is greatly missing in the community. The swim team wouldn’t be the only group to benefit from a rec center; the entire county and surrounding areas would reap the rewards. A pool alone would bring new jobs to lifeguards, physical therapists, and other local residents, not to mention the influx of money it would bring into the community during a stagnant economic time. Pools are used by people of all ages. I’ve never met a child who hates playing in the water, and for older residents, swimming is a wonderful impact-free workout. Pools can be used for physical therapy or a practice facility for local aquatic rescue teams — the possibilities are endless. Along with a pool, a rec center could provide room for sports such as basketball and volleyball for all ages. Pick-up games could be played after work or non-competitive and competitive leagues could start for children, teenagers

Talent From page B1 during the 2007-08 season. “These kids have played JV the past few years,” Garris said of the four returning seniors. “They just happened to get stuck behind a really good group of players. The problem is that they’re not young, they’re just inexperienced.” Last year’s 20-7 team was led by center Nick Stinnett, who averaged 17.2 points per game (ppg) and 9.16 rebounds per game (rpg), and point guard Casey Hubbard (4.81 ppg and 94 assists last season), the two most vital positions on the floor will be filled by new faces. “Nick Stinnett left some big shoes to fill,” senior Doug Wells said, who will be playing the post position for the Greenwave. “We’re going to do our best and try to have a good year this year. That’s really all we can do.” Both Wells (6-foot-2) and 6-foot-4 senior Ethan Brangers will have to carry a heavy load of the post positions. Luckily for them, they defended Stinnett every day at practice over the last three years. “It gave me a lot more experience than I wouldn’t have had,” Wells said. “He really helped me out.” Wells is more of the scoring big man (2.41 ppg), while Brangers will have to take on rebounding duties. “Coach Garris already told me that my rebounding will be a big part of my game this year,” Brangers said, who had 33 rebounds in 103 minutes last season. “I’m going to have to pull down a lot of rebounds this year.” The lack of depth in the post area also brings concerns to Garris and his players. “Both me and Doug (Wells) will have to stay out of foul trouble,” Brangers said. “We’re the only two big guys on the team. We have to commit smart fouls. It’s hard to do that, because I want to play aggressive, but if you’re in foul trouble you have to slack off and let them shoot.” Taking Hubbard’s command at point guard will be senior Braden Pace. Pace only saw 75 minutes of varsity time last season, and recorded 15 points, 17 re-
bounds and 18 assists. This is the first time he will have a chance to start. “I’m embracing this,” Braden said about his responsibility at the point guard position. “I love the role. I’ve been playing (point guard) for a while now. I was just waiting for (Hubbard) to leave so I can take over. Now’s the time.” As Hubbard’s understudy, Pace hopes to emulate Hubbard’s play. “I had (to guard Hubbard) in practice,” Pace said. “He taught me a lot. I really try to base my game off of his. We had to guard those guys all last year. So we know what to do. We just got to prove ourselves out on the court.” Garris is satisfied with his new point guard’s progression, but still has concerns with turnovers. During the Greenwave’s first scrimmage on Nov. 22, Pace averaged one turnover every five minutes, according to Garris. “(Hubbard) had a turnover every 13 minutes,” he said. “That spoils you because they didn’t turn the ball over. Braden Pace has done a decent job so far, but he needs to take care of the ball a little bit more.” The lone returning player, who saw significant playing time last year, is senior forward Johnathon Ives. Ives played 636 minutes last season with 7.42 ppg, 3.62 rpg, and 35 assists. “You can take Ives’ stats and add up (all the other returning players’) stats; they won’t equal his,” Garris said. “Hopefully he can step it up this year.” The 6-foot-2 small forward is a versatile player who has an outside shot along with the ability to drive. Ives led the team last year with a 30.9 three-point percentage, while shooting 38.7 percent from the field. “The past two years, I’ve started off really well shooting,” Ives said. “By February, I’m just worn out. This year, I’m looking to stay hot all season long. I just can’t lose my confidence.” Ives has also been working on his ball handling skills so he can create his own shots. “I expect to make that open shot,” Ives said. “I have to get the open shots and hit them from all over the court. I will have to create some shots too, but I don’t want to do too much and go more

than what I’m capable of doing.” Playing within each athlete’s ability is a focal point of any Greenwave team coached by Garris. “What I’ve tried to convey to this team from the past two years is to play in their element,” he said. “That’s why we had the success we did (during the last three seasons). The kids played in their element. They didn’t try to do too much.” Other players who will see some playing time include starting junior guard Charles Satram (28 points in 45 minutes last season), and junior Isaiah Satram (10 points in 27 minutes last season) “They are going to play a lot of minutes,” Garris said. “Isaiah (Satram) has shown some promise coming off the bench. He has shown us that he can contribute to this team some.” During the Nov. 22 scrimmage, sophomore center Jace Blehar saw some quality minutes, because of Wells’ and Brangers’ foul troubles. “Jace Blehar played pretty good,” Garris added “I wasn’t expecting him to come out and play so well. He did a really good job in our scrimmage and may see some quality minutes for us.” Freshman Chase Garris can help the perimeter and play both the one and two positions. Guard Bo Wilson and forward Thomas Wilson are two other freshmen that may see some varsity time this year. “Bo Wilson will come in some,” Garris said. “Thomas Wilson will help us in the inside a little bit, too. Right now, he’s a little dinged up from football. We’re probably eight or nine kids that will get some playing time. I don’t think we’re going to have a lot of kids that are going to play 30 minutes a game.” The inexperienced Greenwave will jump in feetfirst during the opening month of the season. The team has only one home game in December and two pivotal district games, and plays regional powerhouse Daviess County tomorrow at Hancock County. “It can be good or bad,” Garris said about the team’s tough schedule. “If we go out and get beat pretty badly that might hurt us. But if we play well it could gain a lot of confidence. “What I’m worried about this schedule is the two district games. It can put us behind the eight ball really quick. Or like in the past, we can get ahead early and everyone is chasing us. I hope that’s the way it is.” Earning those two district wins against Hancock and Breckinridge counties is key to the team’s overall goal of claiming its fourth district title in a row. “We want to win district,” Wells said. “We have to win district.” With a fourth title in sight, Pace hopes the team will get a little more respect since he feels this senior class is a little underrated. “When people start coming to the games, hopefully they’ll see that we are a good team and that we are capable of carrying the team,” he said. The questions that swirl around the enigma of the Greenwave basketball team will soon be answered, as all the players are ready to get the season underway. “Senior year is the last chance you get,” Ives said. “I’m ready for the games. I’m ready for this season to get going. The Daviess County game can’t come any sooner.” The Greenwave opens up the season tomorrow at Hancock County where it faces regional foe Daviess County.

earning a third (regional tournament), fourth (Greenwave Invitational), eighth (PRP Invitational) and tenth (Old Bridge Invitational) place finishes. While the third place finish was the best during the season, it would also serve as the most disappointing for the team as they missed qualifying for the state tournament by just two strokes.

“We have to get the ball inside better,” Hurt said, whose team had 12 points in the paint. “We have some kids down there that can do some things with it and I don’t think we got them enough touches. A lot of it had to do with the tough defense of E’town.” Both Bliss and Scarlett Powers had their hands full as they played one of the best players in the area in center Alex Jones. “Our defense was great,” said junior point guard Caroline Wilson. “Bliss and Scarlett did a great job to shut down Jones.” Jones, who already signed to play for Murray State next year, recorded 15 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes of play, while Bliss and Scarlett combined for 8 points and 11 rebounds. Scarlett Powers also had four blocks. Scoring droughts also hurt the Lady Waves. The Lady Panthers flew out of the gates to claim a 5-0 lead, until junior guard Mallory Wathen nailed two straight three-pointers to make the score 8-6. That would be the closest the Lady Waves would get to E-town, which rattled off eight straight points to end the quarter up 16-7. “The first half, I felt pretty good, my shot was falling,” Wathen said. “In the second half, I didn’t play as well. Overall, all of us shot well tonight and did our jobs.” Wathen ended the night three for eight from the three-point line. The entire Lady Waves team shot 40.6 percent from the field. “Mallory Wathen shot about as good as I wanted,” Hurt said. “That gives us a lot of hope this year.” In the second quarter, the Lady Waves fought hard to put up 10 points, but the Lady Panthers rallied 13 more points to extend Meade County’s halftime deficit to 29-17. The lead was widened when E’town went on a 13-0 scoring streak during

Not everyone can join the high school teams, whether they are too short or too slow, they can still play on a public league. Maybe there are some kids on the school band or another extracurricular group who can’t play on the basketball team or the baseball team, but could play on weekends. Certainly there would be a public league for them. A workout area could provide free weights, weight machines and cardiovascular machines, perfect for anyone who is looking to tone up. There doesn’t have to be top-of-the-line, cutting-edge facilities, but a community this size — with so many active young athletes — would greatly benefit from some sort of rec center.

Meade County finally broke its scoring drought with a lay-up with 4:03 left in the third quarter. “We got a little tired and they got some put-backs on us,” Hurt said about his team’s dismal third quarter performance. The Lady Waves also had 19 turnovers in the game, which was Wilson’s biggest frustration of the night. “I was most disappointed with turnovers,” she said. “In the fourth quarter, we played much better. I think it was just seeing what they were doing defensively and getting used to what we had to do. This game was a lot more intense than the two scrimmages we had. So it took us a while to get into game mode.” The Lady Waves scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, ending the night on a good note. “Of course it’s always disappointing to lose, but I’m not discouraged,” Wilson said. “I’m not going to quit basketball because of it.” The Lady Waves played at Taylor County last night, and plays Apollo at home tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. Hurt expects a lot of improvement from the E’town game.

known as one of the most overweight states in the country — including a top-five ranking with the highest obesity rate among children in the country (according to a July 2008 Time Magazine article). The lack of physical facilities certainly contributes to the obesity and poor health conditions Americans citizens endure every year, and Meade County is definitely no exception. Brandenburg alone has over five fast food restaurants, and provides only one workout facility to the public. That ratio doesn’t promote a healthy lifestyle for any county residents as we fall deeper into an unhealthy lifestyle. When I first moved down here, I immediately looked up local fitness centers. There were two gyms in the entire county and both severely lacked the facilities I was looking for. Along with my regular cardio and weight training, I wanted to remain active in sports such as basketball or racquetball. Needless to say, I was a little perturbed and ended up taking my business to our
northern Hoosier friends and joined the YMCA in Corydon, Ind. The facility is nice and has most of the amenities I’m looking for, but I’m spending my money elsewhere when I’d much rather be putting it back into the local economy. The future expansion of Fort Knox aims to bring an influx of new residents and I’d hate to see them do the same thing as me and take their business elsewhere. The need for a rec center sparked when I sympathized for the members of the swim team, but it’s not just about them; it’s about a safe family-oriented establishment that promotes health and well-being. It’s about economic stimulus, creating jobs and opening opportunities. There’s no doubt in my mind that Meade County residents would thrive on a community center. The saying “if you build it they will come” from the movie “Field of Dreams” rings true in this case, and you better believe when the day comes I’ll be the first one there ready to break a sweat.

The the Lady Waves Memorial Scholarship was given to Kelsey Stanley, while Stephanie Menser received the Jenny Sipes Sportsmanship award. Chelsea Fochtman and Menser both made the all-district tournament team. Paige Long, and Menser made honorable mention all-region team, and Lindsey Andrews made first team all-region.

Next From page B1 finalists were comprised of Ragan, Todd Kluever, Danny O’Quinn and Erik Darnell, who actually won the competition. Darnell got a full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ride for his efforts, but two years a later he’s still racing in the series. O’Quinn ran a season in the Nationwide Series and Kluever was the odd-man out after Truck and Nationwide seasons. Meanwhile, Ragan must’ve shown the big boss something because three years later the 22-year old is, arguably, Roush’s next big thing. “We knew that we could get the job done, it’s just a matter of taking care of the particulars and not making mistakes,’’ Ragan said. “We’ve done more of the right things this year, which has led to better runs and more confidence.’’

Ragan ran less than a half-dozen races for Roush in 2006 and in 2007 he went full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series racing for the Cat in the Hat. How did he respond? He ran fifth in the points in the Nationwide Series and 23rd in Cup — as a rookie in both series. This year, just his second season of Cup or Nationwide racing, he raised his performance to another level. “Yeah, we made a lot of progress as a driver and a team,” Ragan said. “A lot of that credit goes to (crew chief) Jimmy Fennig and Jack Roush for putting together a good group of guys. We’ve had solid pit stops all year. Our race cars have been fast and nothing has fallen off of them, so it’s just been a good, solid year. We look forward to improving that much more in 2009 for UPS.” Ragan, a native of Kannapolis, N.C., the same town that produced Dale Earnhardt, appears primed for
move into Chase contenders for 2009. Wheeling the No. 6 Ford, Ragan’s average finish in Cup this season was 15th and he finished the season 13th in the standings. In Nationwide, his average finish was 12th and he finished fourth in the points. He also finished more laps (10,661) than any other driver in the Cup series this season. “Yeah, that’s a cool little stat and that just goes to show you we’ve got good engines from Roush Yates Engines with no mechanical failure and just trying to be smart and fast,’’ Ragan said. “We qualified better, so we feel like we’ve picked it up some, but we still have a bit more work to do before we get to where we want to be every week.” After producing Cup champions Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch, along with perennial Chase contender Carl Edwards, it appears as though Ragan is the next in line.

Spring floods may help fall waterfowl season Submitted by Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department
FRANKFORT — Breeding conditions in the northern Great Plains states and the Prairie Pothole region of Canada were dismal last spring. That would normally spell poor hunting for the upcoming waterfowl seasons that open Nov. 23 for Canada geese and Nov. 27 for ducks, but this could be an exceptional hunting year. “We have a lot of ducks in west Kentucky right now,” said John Brunjes, migratory bird biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “The Mississippi River flooding this past summer in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois may have caused less food availability up north and pushed them here. We should have a good waterfowl season this year.” Ballard Wildlife Management Area in Ballard County has been a waterfowl hunting mecca for decades and is a good bellwether for the prospects of the upcoming
season. “We have between 50,00060,000 ducks on the area right now,” said Charlie Wilkins, area manager for Ballard Wildlife Management Area (WMA). “We have a few hundred white-fronted geese as well. With the winds out of the north, we should pick up some more ducks over the next several days.” Cold spring weather greatly affected the waterfowl breeding areas in Canada and the northern Great Plains. “They had snow on the ground up north until June,” Brunjes said. “There is little to no waterfowl breeding with snow on the ground. The birds are still there, but reproduction was impacted.” Those birds are also showing up all over Kentucky. “I am seeing them on the ponds I hunt when I’ve been scouting,” said Hank Patton, deputy commissioner of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “They haven’t been here, they just got here. We are seeing some migration. Some of the ponds have more than
20 birds using them. In the past at this time of year, there would be one or two.” Farm ponds may be the best bet for an early season waterfowl hunters who don’t live in or don’t want to travel to west Kentucky. “It is good hunting on farm ponds,” Patton said. “Waterfowl hunting is the best it’s been in my experience in central and east Kentucky.” Scout for ponds that hold numbers of birds. Patton will not hunt a pond unless it is holding at least two dozen waterfowl. He also recommends not shooting at the pond too often. “I shoot it and let rest for at least a week,” Patton explained. “I won’t shoot it more than once a week. If you have ducks on it and overshoot it, they’ll abandon it. If I don’t see it getting better after letting it rest, I won’t hunt it anymore.” The Ohio River is also a good waterfowl hunting destination from November to the end of January.
“Anywhere along the Ohio River is good,” Patton said. “I hunt the Ohio River extensively. It always holds birds.” The Kentucky River also provides quality waterfowl hunting, especially in the dead of winter when farm ponds and smaller lakes are frozen. “Once those smaller waters lock up with ice, the birds have to go somewhere,” Patton said. Cave Run Lake is also a good choice, but is closed to goose hunting. “Cave Run had amazing numbers of birds last year,” Brunjes said. “We would have 3,000 to 4,000 ducks on the lake at times.” Brunjes also recommends Taylorsville, Green River, Cumberland, Laurel River and Herrington lakes for waterfowl hunting. “Get some steel number 2 shotshells for ducks and some BB or BBB steel shotshells for geese and get out there after them,” Brunjes said. “This is a great time of year to hunt waterfowl.”

Officals say Ballard County is a waterfowl hunting mecca, but Cave Run Lake, Taylorsville, Green River, Cumberland and Laurel River are good spots too.
November deer hunters break state records Submitted by Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department
FRANKFORT — Kentucky’s modern gun deer season is now over statewide, tipping the total harvest past 108,000 deer. The November harvest of more than 88,000 deer has already topped every season but 2004. “I thought we might kill 115,000 to 116,000 deer this season, but I think we’re going to do better than that,” said David Yancy, a wildlife biologist in the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources’ big game program. “If it’s a pretty typical December muzzleloader season, that’ll help us toward 120,000.” The high harvest eases the minds of the state’s deer managers, who closely watched last year’s severe outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD). Kentucky Fish and Wildlife received reports of more than 4,000 suspected EHD cases last year. The state’s deer herd is estimated at 1 million animals. “If EHD had an impact, the November harvest should be down,” said Yancy. “But it’s not down – it’s up. That tells me that EHD didn’t have a significant impact to statewide deer numbers.” Overall harvest trends are a much better indicator of deer populations than single-year results, however. Kentucky’s total deer
harvest has stair-stepped up and down only slightly since 2000, varying by fewer than 10,000 deer most years. “When you take a step back and look at that — that’s stable,” said Yancy. Hunter harvest of male and female deer has also stabilized, with hunters taking a nearly even split of bucks and does each year. About 52 percent of deer taken so far this season have been bucks. “We go into gun season usually slightly ahead on antlerless deer,” said Yancy. “Bowhunters are more willing to take antlerless deer – it’s a challenge just to kill a deer with a bow.” During modern gun deer season, however, the buckto-doe balance tips toward antlered deer. “Gun hunters are out there buck hunting,” Yancy said. “Some already have some venison in the freezer from early muzzleloader or bow, and others say ‘I can get my antlerless deer during late muzzleloader to fill my freezer.’ It shifts back in late muzzleloader season, and we end up with slightly more females taken.” The 9-day late muzzleloader season typically adds another 8,000 to 10,000 deer to the overall harvest. Yancy hopes to see more deer taken in high-density counties, where doe harvest is especially important to keep the population in balance
with available habitat. “Counties like Jefferson, Shelby, Franklin, and from there north to the Ohio River — we would definitely like to see more deer taken, especially female deer in those counties,” said Yancy. ”That’s what it’s going to take to get them down to a Zone 2 level.” Southeastern Kentucky’s Zone 4 counties are a different story. Deer populations are smaller than managers and hunters would like, due to the region’s mountainous, forested habitat that isn’t ideal for deer. The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission voted this year to restrict this zone’s antlerless deer harvest during late muzzleloader season to the final three days only. Hunters in Zone 4 may take only antlered deer during the season’s first six days. “The point of it is to reduce kill on females and young deer,” said Yancy. “We thought we were being restrictive enough, but we weren’t. We’re trying to allow some opportunity, but not too much. We’ll see in the next 2 to 3 years how this affects Zone 4 populations.” Late muzzleloader season for deer runs Dec. 1321 statewide. For complete deer hunting regulations, pick up a copy of the 200809 Kentucky Hunting & Trapping guide, available at fw.ky.gov and wherever hunting licenses are sold.

So far this season, the number totals of harvested deer have broken many records. Only the 2004 hunting season has seen more harvested deer, although, there’s still more time for this year’s totals to surpass 2004’s.

By Henry Boltinoff © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Arian penchant for impatience shows, as you consider passing a problemprone project on to someone else. Best advice: Stay with it and work out those snarls yourself.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Even patient Bovines can be frustrated when carefully made plans go awry. But crank up that "stick-to-it-ivity" you do so well, and you'll soon find that your schedule is back in sync.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your aspect favors using more resourceful means in dealing with a workplace situation. Some discreet checking around could help shed light on the root cause of the problem.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You show an unusually strong streak of stubbornness in rejecting suggestions from friends and/or family members early in the week. But you become more receptive by the week's end.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat might find a gentler approach more effective when dealing with those who resist needed changes. Remember, the word "persuasion" starts with the sound "purr."
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A disappointing experience with someone you felt you could trust can be painful. But there just might be more to this situation than you're aware of. Press for an explanation.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Changing your views about something you believe in isn't easy. But you might reconsider as the facts come in. Keep your mind open, even if you're uneasy about what you might learn.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might have to do some serious shifting of gears to get your project back on track. But cheer up. Your hard work starts to produce some positive results by the week's end.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unsettling mood at the start of the week soon lifts and gives way to a more positive attitude as you find fun and friendship beginning to dominate your aspect.
Last Week’s Solutions
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A delay in firming up holiday plans could work to your advantage. Use this time to scout out possibilities that might be more in line with what those close to you would prefer.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Some people might question some of the new friends you've welcomed into your life. But your ability to see beyond the obvious helps you recognize how special they are.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Financial matters can be especially tricky this week. It's best to follow a conservative investment path for now, and wait for a more fortuitous time to take a bolder approach.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your warmth, your humor and your genuine concern for others make you someone people love to keep close to their lives. © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.

Meade County seniors receiving top awards, (left to right): Jason Dick (UNOH Representative), Mark Anthony, 2nd place winner, Ryan Fackler, 1st place winner, Chris Fackler (Ryan’s Father), and Rick Wilson (business agent for the local 502 Union). Submitted by Meade County Area Technology Center
On Friday, Nov. 7, a group of seniors from the Meade County Area Technology Center went to the University of Northwestern Ohio in Lima, Ohio. The students took part in a variety of tests at the school’s annual scholarship test and open house. Students from 11 states across the country participated in the event. Eighteen high school seniors from Meade County attended one of the four testing sessions. Five of the students took the automotive test, one took the diesel test, and 12 took the air conditioning and refrigeration test.
