Local dealership confident despite GM filing Chapter 11 By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com General Motors (GM) announced its filing for bankruptcy early Monday morning, in conjunction with a plan to receive $30 billion in government financing.
According to The Wall Street Journal, GM’s bankruptcy is the fourth largest in the nation’s history, and the largest for an industrial company. As the auto giant’s reorganization period unfurls, the federal government will

take 60 percent ownership stake and the Canadian government will take 12.5 percent stake. The company also plans to sell its HUMMER brand. Despite the Chapter 11 filing — which to many has been a long-time com-
ing, according to national reports — Tony Brown Chevrolet in Brandenburg remains optimistic about the future. “I feel confident that we’ll be OK,” said owner Tony Brown. “Of course you feel a little anxious about who’s
making the decisions now ... but we have faith.” Brown said the dealership has continuously exceeded sales, customer service and other quality standards, and the nine-year-old business is here to stay. GM owns Chevrolet,
Buick, Cadillac, GMC, HUMMER, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, Opel, Daewoo, and Holden, and collaborates on other brands, according to the company’s Web site. Tony Brown Chevrolet is located at the junction of Hwys. 1638 and. 448.

Parents, teachers debate need for dealing with student attire By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com Parents and guardians of students at Flaherty Elementary School may need to go shopping. The school’s School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) council voted Monday to pass a new dress code policy, following a public forum held earlier to discuss the possibility of a new dress code or uniformity policy. Parents were informed about the exploration into changing the policy with a letter sent home May 19. The letter explained that Flaherty students could be instructed to wear a uniform wardrobe next year, specifically with solid color slacks and collared shirts. The letter also said that no jeans or sweatpants would be allowed, as well as any athletic shoes with wheels. The letter said “there are many academic and social reasons why we want to adopt this policy” and a list was provided, including that uniforms are readily available at local stores like Wal-Mart or Target, and that limiting choices

Trustees tackle fire district’s 3-year budget By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
The Meade County Fire Protection District (MCFPD) approved two fiscal year (FY) budgets, and was informed of an available grant application for stimulus money that could potentially shell out thousands for a new station No. 2 building. MCFPD held its regularly scheduled May meeting Monday night at the MCFPD Headquarter after the district was forced to reschedule after failing to form a quorum May 18 meeting. All members were present except trustee Dee Decker when the board voted unanimously to “zero out” the 2008-2009 FY budget in order to meet its July 1 deadline. “What we’re trying to do is close the books by June 15 so that (treasurer Jim Anthony) has time to close the books and get everything as close to even as possible by the end of the fiscal year

Funding is being sought to expand Elizabethtown Regional Airport’s services, which will benefit Meade and 23 other counties by offering free parking and convenient regular flight times. BELOW: A rendering of the airport project.
Project supporters receive plane ticket reimbursement By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com BRANDENBURG — Residents of Meade County may soon have a more feasible option for air travel as the Elizabethtown Regional Airport (EKX) prepares for the final stages of a major renovation. The Partnership for Central Kentucky Airline Service has spent more
than two years on a project to revamp the airport and provide regularlyscheduled, low-cost, reliable, hiddenfee-free passenger airline service that provides shorter driving times to a 24-county area. Luke Schmidt, a project leader for the Partnership of Central Kentucky Airline Service, provided updates and information to Meade County officials during a briefing held Friday morning at the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce office. “We’ve had wonderful support in Meade County and others with our market feasibility study,” Schmidt said. “There’s about 23 or 24 counties
that extend to the Tennessee line that are all closer to Elizabethtown than another airport.” One of the project’s major selling points is it provides shorter driving distances to central Kentucky

Riverport begins to make headway with grant monies, deadlines By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com The Riverport Authority received some good news as some additional grant money is expected to get construction procedures rolling much faster than anticipated. At the authority’s regular
monthly meeting held at the Meade County Courthouse, board members Kenny Jenkins and Larry Thomas were absent, leaving only four members present but still maintaining a quorum. Treasurer and secretary Edd Pike informed the board that the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) deposited more than $21,000 of grant money into the authority’s account sometime after the board’s April meeting. Mike Flint, of Flint Consulting, said the money was put toward an invoice for $15,000 of GeoTec work done in previous months for “additional alternative
design of how to efficiently and effectively lay out our conveyer system.” “We’ll be getting some more draws in now so (USDA) will submit (the money) and we’ll be getting checks out for some more invoices from other parties,” he said. During his old busi-
ness report, Flint said there have been no further issues with the Riverport Authority’s lease agreement with Consolidated Grain and Barge (CGB) and that the company will be taking the lease agreement originally drafted by the authority and modifying it accordingly. Flint has asked CGB
for a copy of the draft before any final document is completed. “There’s really been no problems with the lease as far as the administration side of it,” he said. “It’s all mostly been more on the operational and technical

The Meade County School district collected a large sum of money for this year’s WHAS-11 Crusade for Children of which the Meade County Board of Education presented the gatherings to each fire district on Wednesday at the Board of Education. Firefighters from each fire district — Brandenburg, Meade, Ekron, Battletown, Payneville, Flaherty and Muldraugh — were present to collect their portion of the nearly $3,500 that was collected by students and staff of each school, including the board of education office. “Payneville Elementary students and staff collected their money in honor of (a student) who was severely injured last year,” said Susan Fackler, the school district’s finance officer. “Many of the schools had just staff members participate and they had a dress down day and had to pay a set amount in order to participate.”
Out of the nine schools that participated in the fundraiser, Stuart Pepper Middle School raised the most, with a total of $750, and Payneville Elementary School strolled in at second place raking in a grand total of $733.77. Superintendent Mitch Crump thanked the fire district “for the things you do for our community every day,” he said. “We get a grant that directly impacts our children from Crusade for Children.” “Last year we received $33,000, which was much
lower than we expected considering that year (Meade County) raised more money than the previous year and that year we received $77,000, but every penny counts when comes to the schools,” said Nancy Mitcham, director of special education and early childhood programs. This year the school has asked for a more than $40,000 grant from the organization. Mitcham said that thus far Meade County has received a total of $1.8 million dollars from the grant.
residents who typically fly out of Evansville, Ind., Louisville, Lexington or Nashville. Negotiations are on the table with three major air carriers, one of which initially would be selected to provide its aligned regional airline service at EKX. Destinations from Elizabethtown would include a major connection hub such as Atlanta or Chicago. Schmidt said three to four departing flights and arriving flights would be scheduled — early morning, midmorning, mid-afternoon and evening — with the frequency of flights potentially increasing in the future to meet demand. The project also boasts a two-level, state-of-the-art passenger terminal that will include a business center with WiFi, a restaurant, a dedicated military departure lounge for soldiers traveling to and from Fort Knox and free parking at the front door.
“The free parking is one of the things that’s been putting a smile on people’s faces without a doubt,” Schmidt said. Schmidt said the base realignment and closure at Fort Knox, Western Kentucky University’s plans to build an Elizabethtown campus, and the construction of an auto battery plant in Hardin County’s industrial park that is predicted to bring more than 2,000 jobs to the area were all catalysts for the airport project. Schmidt cited Fort Knox as the single largest user of commercial airline service in this region. “We feel like this is a good time,” he said. “This area has been and is growing.” In order for the project to pan out, the Partnership of Central Kentucky Airline Service is seeking an estimated $2 million from local supporters. Contributions to the project can be made through a travel bank, which allows individuals or businesses to make a binding pledge — no less than $1,000 — to the project. Pledge payments may be paid in full, be paid over two fiscal years or on
a quarterly basis. Once airline services begin at EKX, pledgers have two years to travel to and from EKX and earn back their full contribution amount through reimbursement of plane ticket costs. “If an individual pledges $1,000, they have two years to use the airport’s services — flying in and out of it — and they can receive up to $1,000 back,” Schmidt said. “After your trip, you have to send in your boarding pass and a copy of the ticket showing the airfare ... and you’ll be issued a check in the amount of the trip’s cost.” Interest bearing accounts with the travel bank are also available, with the minimal subscription amount set at $25,000. Schmidt said the Partnership For Central Kentucky Airline Service has already received 72 resolutions and dozens of letters of support for the project from local organizations and individuals, including Brandenburg Telecom, Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce and Meade County Fiscal Court.

Letter to the Editor
The News Standard - A3
Dear editor,
Freddy Groves
Remember back in May 2006 when a computer holding the personal information of veterans was stolen? Yes, I know — there have been so many thefts of data that it's hard to keep them all straight. But this incident was over the top: The computer in question was taken home and then stolen. The names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth for upward of 17 million veterans, spouses and military personnel were on that computer. A class-action lawsuit was filed, and after all this time, it's about to be settled. Specifically, a fund of $20 million will be created to reimburse those who had out-of-pocket expenses stemming from the theft. The recovery period runs from May 3, 2006 to Feb. 11, 2009. No less than $75 will be paid for any valid claim, up to a cap of $1,500. If your expenses were higher than that, you
might want to opt out of the class-action portion so you can file for your actual damages. In that case, you need to file a letter so it is received by June 29, 2009. See the class-action Web site below for details. If there's any money left over, the balance will be handed over to two worthy organizations: Fisher House and The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. You have until Nov. 27, 2009, to mail your claim form to VA Settlement Claims, P.O. Box 6727, Portland, OR 97228-9767. Be sure to keep a copy of the claim form, along with your proof of mailing. To download the claim form and to get more information, go to www. veteransclass.com. Read the FAQ and note the particulars on out-ofpocket expenses and actual damages. You also can call 1-888-288-9625. Write to Freddy Groves in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to columnreply@gmail.com.

pay a percentage of what we have. The less a home is appraised for, the less a person owes in taxes. And, rightfully so, the more property someone owns, the more taxes he or she has to pay. Knowing taxes go to services such as these, it’s hard to imagine there’s anyone who would choose to be unsafe from a disaster or to withhold money from our schools and our children. Besides that, a high appraisal value for a home only means that the homeowner has kept the home up-to-date, modern and efficient, and if the home were ever put up for sale, this high appraisal would be a cause for celebration. No one wants their property to depreciate in value and to be left with their
heads under the proverbial water. Yet, again, when it’s time to pay our dues, there are too many of us who grumble and gripe. During a time of economic hardship, the extra expense can be — and probably is — difficult. But rather than focus on what the bill is going to do to our bank accounts, we should focus on what it is going to do for our families, our neighbors and our communities. What we pay will go toward educating, saving people in their time of need and improving the caliber of life here in Meade County. One person’s taxes added to the combined effort of everyone else can really make a difference, and shouldn’t we all want to?

sive did the usual fingerpointing at hard-working Kentuckians for lacking tolerance and diversity. We need a “better attitude,” an anonymous headline writer appended to the column. Equally anonymous was this comment at the end of the column: “Cities, states, and the federal government — and the ways they raise and spend money — are the foundations of our communities, without them we would live in a chaotic state of all versus all.” If Eblen really wants more economic vitality, I suggest he use the paper’s space to address the public-policy bipolarization he inspires that leads to comments such as this. For example, he could write about the problem this reader faces for wrongly thinking that government, rather than individuals, serve as the glue that holds our communities together. He could write that the comment-poster needs counseling to get his thinking straight: Government plays a supporting, not a leading, role as the reader’s comment — and many of Eblen’s columns — implies. Should Eblen ask: “If government is to play a supporting role, then who

Remarks made in the “comment” sections at the end of online newspaper articles usually come from anonymous sources and offer little value to reporters, who must confirm sources and corroborate facts. But they sometimes offer an unfiltered perspective about what Kentuckians think about their commonwealth and its government. One such comment came in response to a column by the Lexington HeraldLeader’s Tom Eblen about a recent trip sponsored by Lexington Commerce that he and several other civic leaders took to Madison, Wisc. Eblen’s column depicted the expedition as the equivalent of a struggling patient spending serious evaluation time at the psychiatrist’s office. Only this excursion ended up representing a collective three-day session on the couch for about 260 central Kentuckians, who sought ways to improve Lexington’s “quality of life and economic vitality,” Eblen wrote. Online comments about the column indicate some readers might need serious time on the couch, too. Eblen’s rambling mis-

I would like to express my concerns, as a parent of two Flaherty Elementary School students, regarding the possible uniformity policy. You list advantages to parents and guardians, the first one being “cost of uniforms is tax deductible.” I am a degreed accountant, although I am not a tax expert. I have checked with other tax professionals, and they aren’t aware of any deductibility for expenses relating to elementary education. The second advantage listed is “uniforms are readily available at local stores.” How is this an advantage? Instead of having 100 different shirts to choose from, you now have 15. I know people who have had trouble finding the right sizes for their children within this limited selection. While I agree, these articles of clothing are more readily available than they have been in the past. The third advantage listed is “no more morning arguments over what you are going to wear today.” A uniformity policy isn’t going to have a positive effect on the process of getting dressed. If anything it is going to have a negative effect where the child tries to refuse wearing clothing that fits into the policy. The fourth advantage listed is “ease of passing outgrown clothes down to younger siblings.” With one son going into fifth grade and one starting kindergarten, I have five years worth of clothes saved up that now will not be able to be worn at school. Additionally, children are now going to need “school clothes” and “other clothes” because they aren’t going to want to wear their uniforms outside of school and on the weekends. We’ll have to purchase more clothing than we would without this uniformity policy. The fifth advantage listed is “no more hurt feelings over children making fun of what a child has worn.” There is always going to be something said that hurts a child’s feelings. We need to teach our children how to deal with those feelings; we cannot eliminate the factors that cause them. The children who are doing the “making fun” are going to find something else to mock, whether it be the freckles on their skin, the glasses on their face, the way their clothing fits, etc. My final concern is that a uniformity policy will take away individuality. Each child is different in some way. Why do we need for them to “appear” to be the same? Why not let them express this individuality with their clothing (within reasonable limits, of course). You list potential advantages to the parents, but what are the advantages to the students or the school? Why is this even being considered? What problems have occurred at Flaherty Elementary that the SBDM thinks can be solved by having a uniformity policy? I haven’t heard of any violence issues that are often the cause for a school to adopt a uniformity policy. Will teachers be expected to follow this same policy? We live in Meade County because we do not want to raise our children in a “city” environment like Jefferson County or even Elizabethtown. This is a rural area and should be kept as such.

would reduce the number of arguments. Parents were encouraged to send their concerns to school with their children via a written letter by May 22. The letter ended with the statement, “If we do not hear from you, we assume you support this policy. We will let you know if this policy is adopted by the end of the school year.” Mary Biddle, parent of a Flaherty student, said she was not in favor of a uniform policy, because she didn’t like the fashion that would have been implemented. She was also concerned that the SBDM would make decisions regarding the policy regardless of parent input. SBDM councils were enacted as part of KERA legislation in the early 1990s and puts parents, teachers and a school administrator in charge of decisions that happen within their building. Superintendent Mitch Crump said each school has its own SBDM and each is responsible for what happens within its own school, including legislating school policy. For that reason, Crump said it’s unlikely a district-wide policy regarding dress code would be enacted. “We wouldn’t want to supersede council policy,” he said. According to the Kentucky Department of Education, the benefit of an SBDM is “making decisions through shared decision making results in a greater commitment to implementing decisions that will enhance the achievement of students.” Many parents took to the SBDM meeting, May 28, at the school, to voice their concerns. Approximately 30 people attended the meeting and many signed up to speak to the SBDM, which, at Flaherty, is made up of two parents, three teachers and principal Amanda Richardson. Parents spoke to SBDM members about the informational letter and how they felt it didn’t provide a lot of information and that it wasn’t fair to assume no response from parents meant a positive response to the proposed uniformity code. Richardson explained that the letter meant to inform parents of the SBDM council’s decision to clarify the current Flaherty dress code policy, which is a onesentence briefing in the handbook on not dressing a student in a way that would disrupt the learning environment. Richardson said that is too vague and too difficult to enforce, and that this year has been particularly problematic with dress code infractions, which is why the issue had to be addressed. Richardson also said the letter was rushed, in order to make changes before the end of the school year, but in no way did it mean the decision had already been made. Parents also expressed concern over cost of outfitting students in uniforms. Some teachers argued the cost would be less than normal wardrobe costs, while parents thought the cost would
be more. It was also misstated in the letter that the cost of uniforms is tax deductible; it isn’t. Some parents also said that if students must adhere to a dress policy, then teachers should too, saying wearing flip-flops and sandals to school is inappropriate for faculty. The final decision came Monday, June 1, at a special SBDM meeting, called for a second reading of the proposal. Flaherty SBDM council members voted to enact a revised dress code policy. “I think a lot of people thought that, with that letter, it was already set,” said Richardson, after Monday’s meeting. “But that’s not it.” She said the opinions garnered from parents and staff members were very important in setting the new policy, which is very similar to Stuart Pepper Middle School’s policy, meaning students should have a smooth transition after they leave Flaherty. Richardson said the uniformity policy was something brought up during an SBDM meeting in April, once it was determined that the current policy had to be revised, and different parents and teachers had expressed an interest in moving toward that. She said SBDM would continue investigating a uniformity policy during the next school year. Two Meade County Schools currently enact a uniform policy, Brandenburg Primary School and David T. Wilson Elementary School. Biddle is at least one parent who hopes it goes no further than research. “I do think children should be dressed appropriately for school, but I believe time, resources and energy would be better spent on improving the actual education process,” she said. “I believe that uniforms are a quick, tangible fix that looks good, but does little to improve the educational outcome in the end. Sort of like painting my house, but not treating the termite damage in the basement — the house will look nice but it has no structural foundation.” Dress Code Policy Flaherty students should be neat and clean. Student dress and appearance should neither disrupt nor distract from the educational environment of the school. The faculty and staff will determine appropriate dress. Examples of appropriate dress: • Shorts/pants (must be at least knee length or longer) • Skirts and/or skorts (must be at least knee length) • Shoes must be worn at all times — tennis shoes are recommended (no wheelies) Examples of inappropriate dress include: • No tank tops or tops with spaghetti straps • Shirts showing off midriff or revealing necklines or open backs • Clothing with offensive messages, logos or pictures • Hats, bandannas, caps, sweatbands, sunglasses, long chains hanging from the pants pockets and other improper items that disrupt the educational environment • Extreme hair dyes • Ripped or torn clothing (holes in jeans must be below the knee) • Pajamas and house slippers
with farmers about their products and farming operations. By the end of the season, many find they’ve developed a personal connection to their local farmers. Buying from farmers markets is good for the local economy because it keeps your money in your community. It allows growers with small-to-medium-sized operations to receive a fair price for their products without having to compete against large commercial growers. Many times, farmers markets are closer than a grocery store, so shopping at the markets could cut down on your fuel costs. Make shopping the farm-
ers market a family experience. It provides a great opportunity to teach your children about nutrition, and how food is grown. As children get to see the food up close, they may become interested in trying new foods. With farmers markets in nearly all of the state’s counties, you can find a market that is close to you. For dates, times and locations of your local farmers market or how to become involved with the market as a vendor, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service. The Meade County Farmers’ Market is currently open on Saturdays at the Meade County Extension Office

Tony Brown Chevrolet
is here to stay... we are not going away!
Our high national ranking in sales, service and customer satisfaction is why we will still be selling Chevrolet’s for years to come. Below is the official letter from GM. Only dealers that can produce this letter can stay in business. June 1, 2009 Tony Brown Chevrolet, Inc., 2935 Brandenburg Rd., Brandenburg, KY 40108 Attention: Tony Brown On behalf of the entire GM team, as GM embarks on an exciting new future, I am extremely pleased that Tony Brown Chevrolet, Inc. has been identified by GM as one of its key dealers for the Chevrolet brand. As a result, subject to the execution of the enclosed letter agreement, GM intends to seek bankruptcy court approval to assume your existing Dealer Agreement for the Chevrolet brand and assign such Dealer Agreement to the purchaser of certain of GM’s assets in the bankruptcy (the “363 Acquirer”). While recent times in the industry have been challenging to all of us, we believe that this new structure presents an exciting new opportunity for all involved. Part of GM’s restructuring efforts include plans for a dealer network consisting of fewer, stronger and more properly located dealers which we hope will allow for higher throughput and enhanced business potential. Your selection as a dealer for the Chevrolet’s brand shows the confidence we have in your dealership being part of the new GM. Accordingly, it is critically important that key dealers, like you, are fully committed to, and fully supportive of, GM’s restructuring efforts. In order for your Dealer Agreement to be assigned to the 363 Acquirer, you must execute the enclosed letter agreement. The letter agreement addresses several key areas of dealership performance going forward. These key areas are addressed in detail in the enclosed letter agreement, which you should carefully read, but highlights include: •Introduction of the new concept of essential brand elements •Increased sales performance •Increased inventory responsibilities •Exclusive facilities for GM operations •A release of claims against GM, the 363 Acquirer and their related parties •Agreement to fulfill certain dealer networking actions A critical part of our dealer network plan is proper channel alignment and dealer focus on the correct brands at the right location. As a result, some retained dealers may receive additional brands. Also, some retained dealers will continue with fewer brands than they currently operate. If your dealership is continuing with fewer brands, enclosed is a separate cover letter and a wind-down agreement, designed to assist you in the orderly winding down of that brand’s operations. Please understand that, going forward, GM strongly believes it needs your dealership, as a top performer, in the Chevrolet dealer network. Due to extremely short court deadlines in the bankruptcy process, the enclosed letter agreement must be signed by you and received by GM no later than June 12, 2009. We have enclosed a return Federal Express envelope, addressed to GM, for your convenience. If you have any questions, please direct them to our Dealer Call Center at 877.868.8071. In closing, please know that GM has great respect for, and appreciation of, your past efforts as a GM dealer. We are enthusiastic about the prospects of our mutual success under this new structure. Sincerely, GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION

Specifically, the “firing mechanism” of certain portions of the brain is rendered inoperable. What I’m saying is that many of today’s abused kids can kill and destroy without pangs of conscience because they are literally brain damaged. They don’t feel what you and I feel. They can’t empathize with helpless victims the way they should, because the emotion of compassion flows from cognitive functions that no longer operate. Some of them are, at that point, potential killers waiting for the time and place to shoot or stab or bludgeon. I am not excusing their violent behavior, of course, and society can’t afford to tolerate it. But this explains some of the mayhem occurring day after day in inner cities. The bottom line is this: We are paying a terrible price for the disintegration of the family and for the victimization of children. Any society

that doesn’t protect the most vulnerable in their midst can expect to suffer at the hands of those abused individuals when they get old enough to strike back. So lock your doors and avoid eye contact when you drive through certain sections of your city. There are kids there who would just as soon kill you as look at you. QUESTION: My 13-yearold daughter is still built like a boy, but she is insisting that I buy her a bra. Believe me, she has no need for it and the only reason she wants one is because most of her friends do. Should I give in? DR. DOBSON: Your straight-and-narrow daughter needs a bra to be like her friends, to compete, to avoid ridicule and to feel like a woman. Those are excellent reasons. I think you should buy her a bra today. Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 (www.family.org).

REEL REVIEWS
ENTERTAINMENT
No fun or sun in grimy ‘Terminator Salvation’ Terminator Salvation / Starring Chistian Bale / PG-13 When Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in the first “Terminator” movie back in 1984, it was pretty cool stuff—time-traveling robot assassins, a future controlled by evil machines, and special effects that were, indeed, pretty special at the time. If you haven’t seen any of the three previous “Terminator” movies, you won’t stand much chance of following along for the fourth, which expects its audience to come prepared. In a perpetually overcast, nuclearwinter future where malicious artificial intelligence has taken over the planet, humans are hunted down and destroyed — or captured for gruesome experiments. A scruffy, scattered band of resistance fighters, led by John Connor (Christian Bale), makes things as difficult as possible for the bad-guy cyborgs while trying to avoid “termination” by the marauding machines. You also have to get your head around the movie’s trippy, time-travel loopiness, which begins when a prison inmate (Sam Wor-

You’ll also need some familiarity with how John Connor’s fatherto-be came from the future and met the woman who would become his mother. And their son, as it turned out, or will turn out, or … whatever — grew up to be John Connor, the bane of the cyborgs. So not only is John Connor on the terminators’ “terminate” list, so is the young man who’ll become his father, but isn’t yet … or, wait a minute, he must already be. Right? It’s easy to get lost in the dense T-4 mythology. “Terminator Salvation” is gratingly noisy — there’s
constant hollering, yelling and screaming, not to mention gunfire, explosions and wall-to-wall stomping, whooshing, crushing robots of every size and shape: storm-trooper bots, flying bots, slithering underwater bots, motorcycle bots, gigantic people-plucking bots. It also has a grimy, relentlessly dreary look, which is supposed to reinforce the story’s bleak setting. This “Terminator” bangs and clangs and has some impressive effects, but it seems to have forgotten one thing: These movies used to be giddy, rock ’em, sock ’em fun. This one is just plain grim.

CD features honky-tonk tunes ‘dressed to kill’
Tuxedo Country (CD) Fans of big band music and classic country will love this roundup of wellknown honky-tonk tunes “dressed to kill” with the full orchestrations of a jazzy, snazzy stage ensemble, a la Glenn Miller, Count Basie or Duke Ellington. Bandleader and clarinet virtuoso Tom Houston leads his first-class, 14man band of saxophones, trombones, guitar, piano, upright bass and drums in “Crazy,” “Faded Love,” “I Fall to Pieces” and 17 other elegantly styled, uptown fusions of barroom and concert hall. (Available from tomhoustonorchestra.com) A Bug’s Life (DVD) A Disney-Pixar collaboration from 1998, this computer-animated comedy by director John (“Toy Story”) Lasseter hips up the age-old Aesop fable of the grasshopper and the ant with the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Hayden Panettiere from TV’s “Heroes,” Dennis Leary,
David Hyde Pierce, Kevin Spacey, Phyllis Diller and Roddy McDowell. Generous special features on this new Blu-ray edition include a making-of documentary, character interviews and a classic Walt Disney theatrical cartoon from 1934.

Written by an awardwinning producer, this handy-dandy A-to-Z guide also includes descriptions of the jobs behind all those cryptic credits that run at the end of a film, like grip, gaffer, best boy and wrangler. Fun, fact-filled and full of insight into the backstage world of filmmaking, it’s a must-have for any movie buff! Neil Pond is the entertainment writer for American Profile.

Headway From page A1 side of it.” Flint said the company has asked him very detailed questions about the size and function of the conveyer. “To save on time, what they’d like to do is take our version of the lease and make some modifications to it,” Flint said. In new business, Flint reported the authority — through the help of State Representative Jeff Greer (DBrandenburg) and the governor’s office — has received a $650,000 sewer and infrastructure grant from Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) after submitting an application for it. “It will help us construct the sewer inside the Riverport so that’s good news,” Flint said. However, most grant packages mandate the funds be used within a specific time period, and Flint said “it has to be spent very quickly ... construction has to be started no later than February of next year.” Flint said despite the tough schedule, the work is doable. He will submit the application with a budget, initial design and other technical documents in two weeks. “(The grant) is 47.5 percent loan, 3 percent is 20 years and principal is not paid until one year after construction is dubbed complete,” Flint said about the $650,000. Florence and Hutchins, the
engineering company Garver Engineer subcontracted for GeoTec work, has a proposed an $80,000 fee for the sewer project that would be paid by the KIA money. Flint recommended that, considering the company had been contracted with the authority in the past, the board amend and approve Florence and Hutchins for the sewer and infrastructure project. The request was moved by Pike, seconded by board member Greg Hager and was passed by all four members present. The board also approved Flint’s second request to submit an official notice to Garver Engineering allowing the company to proceed with the KIA application. The board approved and signed an additional set of documents for the application, which stated that the authority meets all federal regulations, all Environmental Protection Agency requirements, related statutes and that the authority has obtained the required insurance. “In addition to the KIA grant, we’ve also drafted the applications for (county) ag development funds and I have this grant for you all to approve,” Flint said. The application, which is strictly used for construction funds, will be submitted to the state, requesting $1 million, and all surrounding counties including, Meade County for $50,000, Breckinridge, Hardin, LaRue and Nelson counties for $10,000 and Grayson, Bullitt and Washington counties for
$20,000. “Now, I’m not standing here today thinking that we will be successful with each one; it’s a percentage game,” he said. “The state wants us to show three or four other counties around that are in favor of (the Riverport), then they look more favorable to us.” If they choose to support the project, Flint said the money could be given to the Riverport in increments by the county agriculture boards throughout so many years. The board approved Flint’s request to submit the applications to the counties and the state. Flint also stated that along with all the other grants, he plans to ask the USDA for a pre-application of a $200,000 rural development grant, which the organization requires a 20-percent match on. “So far we’ve been able to use income to go toward our match,” he said. “I’m hoping that once we get further along in our application and the deem they scope and they agree upon my scope, then we will negotiate what they’ll give us in value … but this will get us where we can bid documents out.” Also discussed at the meeting was the authority’s required budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year (FY) that, as of the meeting, had not even been drafted and was expected to be finished Wednesday. “Before, the budget process was a pretty simple thing, but they put a lot more teeth into it this year and we’ve
got to go back through all our bank statements and fill all of them out,” Pike said. “It’s a pretty detailed thing, and the real kicker is they won’t approve Meade County’s budget until all the districts are in. I had a real problem with this and (county treasurer) Shirley (Fackler) called up to there the other day and asked about it, but it appears to me whenever I read these papers that they’re referring primarily to taxing districts and the Riverport is not a taxing district.” Pike said that he was unable to obtain any further information on the matter and the Riverport Authority will proceed with the budgetary format required. Flint said they are required to do an “actual” budget, or a copy of all final expenditures, for the 2007-08 FY, a budget for 2008-09 FY and an extrapolated budget for 2009-10 FY, which were all due Wednesday and will require Pike’s signature. Due to the format changes of the budget, Flint recommended that the board inquire with a CPA or accounting firm to monitor all expenditures and perform a year-end balance sheet “and to make sure we comply with general accounting practices,” he said. Chairman Joe Wright asked Pike to work on the proposal after Flint drafts up a scope of the authority’s budget. A motion was made by board member Dan Hardaway to proceed with hiring a CPA to monitor expenditures, was seconded by Hager and approved unanimously.

Tackle From page A1 (July 1),” said chairman Martin Bosemer. Fire Chief Larry Naser agreed to keep a close eye on expenditures and to make certain no large purchases will take place after June 15. Before the budget was approved, Anthony informed the board of where the district currently stands in comparison to the 2008-09 budgeted monies. “We usually leave $90,000 in savings to get through the next half of the next FY,” Anthony said. “So we transferred, $36,000 out of Meade County Bank savings into First Federal last week, and that will leave us with the $90,000 for next year.” The $90,000 is used to stabilize the district throughout the first half of the FY before money from grants and funds are received. “In taxes we are about 95 percent complete, we’ve got about $350,000 compared to $356,000 and total interest earned we’re about $3,118 for a total revenue of about $370,000 compared to $373,000 in our budget,” he said.

ly the district’s income is $2,163 ahead of budget and the MCFPD is still looking to gain some interest that’s accumulating with CDs and savings throughout the end of the FY. The 2009-2010 FY budget was also approved unanimously by the board to be submitted to Meade County Fiscal Court and the state. The budget included a list of additional expenditures collected over the previous year that included a decrease in building insurance of $9,000 for the new headquarters, a 10 percent increase in facility maintenance and cleaning, a $2,000 increase in utilities for the new establishment and many more. “I recommend you have a correction sheet when you make a change,” Bosemer said to Anthony. “That’s something the auditor said to keep a running tally of, the changes we’ve made to the budget. Then I think that we will have less problems every year, and then we don’t have to add in there ‘insurance has decreased or increased.’” After the budget was approved, the board collectively analyzed the 2010-2011 FY extrapolated budget, which thus far is closely related to the current and next FY, and is, like each previous budget,

projected to have a 106-percent increase. The budget was not voted upon in any way and is expected to change. The board also approved nearly $28,500 in unexpected funds to be transferred into reserve accounts, as well. In other MCFPD news: •During Naser’s May report he informed the board that, along with applying for five various grants for equipment, he will also be applying for a new economic stimulus package for firehouse construction funds. “I think that we need to be putting in for about $990,000 to see if we can’t get enough to build a new station No. 2 (located off Hwy. 933),” he said. “We can write a fairly compelling story simply because our old building is nothing but a pole barn and never has been much more than that, but with the impact of the BRAC realignment … They said there’s like $2.1 million that’s going out for these projects.” Anthony informed the board that if the district was to receive the federal funding, the district would have to act quickly on drafting plans for the potential new station because stimulus money is only available to recipients for a limited
amount of time. “Well, I’m thinking if they give us the word to go, we look at (the new headquarter’s) plans and reduce these plans by 35 percent, and then we say these are our plans,” Naser said. “I’m going to go ahead and write something up for the application and I will let you guys know if we hear anything back from them.” •Naser’s report also included 16 EMS assist runs, with an average of seven firefighters and an average of 7.4 minutes of response time, and three house fires with an average of 14 firefighters and average of 9.5 minutes of response time. •Trustee Anthony was reelected to fill the board’s treasurer position. Bosemer’s position as Chairman is also up for reelection. “I’d like to make that recommendation that we send (Craycroft) a letter to reappoint Martin (Bosemer),” said trustee Bruno Ilario. Trustee T. Parker seconded the motion and the board unanimously approved the recommendation. Naser opted to write and submit the letter for the recommendation to Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft, who appoints the position.

FEATURE 200-year-old pottery shop still gets international visitors
A10 - The News Standard
Living in a down economy isn’t having much effect on Harvey Conner. He still has a job. The same one he’s had for 44 years. And he has enough money to go out in search of some of the products he has manufactured since he was a teenager. “The other day, over in Nicholasville, I found a piece I made in the early 80s and only had to give $1.25 for it,� says the 63-year-old Madison County, Ky. native. His employer, Bybee Pottery, has been in business in the tiny community of Waco, Ky., since 1809. Not much has changed in the 200 years since Webster Cornelison founded the enterprise that is now in its fifth generation of family ownership. Unlike Harvey, who seems to enjoy talking almost as much as turning out beautiful pieces of pottery, Buzz Cornelison, 60, is a man of few words. He runs the place now, along with his brother, Jimmy, with occasional help from their sister, Paula Gabbard. Jimmy also serves as coroner for Madison County, and Buzz was once a member of the Kentucky-based band Exile. As the keyboard player, his talents are highlighted on the group’s number one hit from 1978, “Kiss You All Over.� He’s still keyboarding, only now it’s the one attached to his office computer. It looks very much out of place in the twocentury-old, rambling wooden structure that is the workplace for only two other employees be-

sides Conner and family members. Near the computer hang framed portraits of greatgreat-great-grandfather Webster and each succeeding generation of Cornelisons. The oldest surviving Cornelison is Buzz’s dad, Walter, 80, who was a master at running the pottery wheel before suffering a stroke nearly two years ago. Former Kentucky First Lady Phyllis George Brown was instrumental in making Bybee a name with world-wide recognition as part of her promotion of crafts produced in Kentucky. The product can still be found around the globe, as attested to by the visitors to the unique shop about eight miles east of Richmond, Ky., just off KY 52. “We get people from all over,� Conner said, as he shows a visitor the process of adding color to a bowl. “Just this morning, there was a lady in here from London, England.� Visitors who don’t mind getting a little dirty from clay dust that coats the floors, walls and shelves are welcome to tour the entire operation. It is open weekdays only from 8 a.m. until noon and 12:30 until 3 p.m. A less hectic and, no doubt, cleaner place to buy the merchandise is Little Bit of Bybee, a shop in the Louisville suburb of Middletown operated by a cousin of the family, Ron Stambaugh. Besides a tour and an opportunity to buy the products at a cheaper
price in Waco, visitors can also get a history lesson from employees and from sheets provided free to the public. They learn that the clay being used is found in ample deposits on a farm about three miles from the shop. It is open-pit mined from several feet beneath the rich topsoil. Documents have been found revealing this is the same clay mined by the first settlers of Kentucky, then taken to nearby Fort Boonesborough to be used for making crude dishes. The clay, mixed with water, is ground in an old plug mill and stored in an ancient vault where it is kept moist and pliable. It is weighed on old balances to secure uniformity, then thrown by the potter and shaped into the desired form. Each piece is allowed to dry completely, then it is glazed and fired in a kiln
Calypso corn and black bean salad
This recipe for Calypso Black Bean and Corn Salad draws inspiration from the Caribbean, the easy spirit of the Islands and the music heard there. The salad takes only a few minutes to assemble, and it can be served either cold or at room temperature. Best of all, most of the ingredients can be found in the pantry or the freezer. This festive salad instantly became one of my alltime favorites when I was challenged by chef Bobby Flay on his Food Network show “Throwdown With Bobby Flay.� I decided to serve the Calypso Black Bean and Corn Salad as a side dish with my fiery Jerk Chicken. The wonderful thing about this combination of black beans, corn and spices is that it perfectly compliments the smokiness of barbequed meats. It’s unique and colorful, and it tastes better the longer it sits in the pepper-infused citrus marinade. The judges loved my dishes, and I was declared the winner of the challenge. While it was wonderful to claim a culinary victory over chef Flay, the real winners were the guests at the barbeque. They got to eat some of the best dishes in Texas! Try this delicious
heated to 2,200 degrees. Emerging from the kiln, the clay, now a finished piece of pottery, is ready for sale. This story has been told thousands of times over the years, but there is speculation the final chapter of Cornelison-family involvement may be coming to an end soon. The next generation, which consists of three granddaughters, two of them teens and the other an attorney, aren’t inclined to continue the business. Closing would be sad for many, but maybe not so much for Harvey Conner. He would have more time to search for his handiwork.

Bozzer’s brings best of southern-style sandwiches to ‘Burg By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
Martin Bosemer’s passion for culinary arts recently led him to draft a plan to keep honest Meade Countians from drowning in the current economic current. While fixing grinders — or hoagies — for his family during last January’s ice storm, Bosemer said it was “the Man upstairs” that prompted his idea to begin a local business to help employ those that deserve a good job. “Stephanie Hardin, my wife’s sister, was there and she was needing a job … and there were so many people in the county that didn’t have an income,” he said.

Richardson farm celebrates 200 years of family history By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandrad.com
It was 200 years ago this summer that David M. Richardson and his family trekked from Whitehall, N.Y. to what’s now called Midway, Ky. The Richardson family relocated to establish a farm on nearly 6,000 acres of land that stretched from Payneville to Richardson Landing — a docking point at the Ohio River that used to exist below present-day Crosier Bottom Road in Battletown. Since 1809, thousands of acres of the original plot have come and gone under the Richardson name, though Homer Lee Richardson — great-great-great-grandson of David M. — is proud to say 550 acres have never been owned by anyone outside the Richardson family. “That means a lot,” Homer Lee said. “Bicentennials on farms are becoming more and more rare.” Raised on the plush, slender hills of the family farm, Homer Lee and his three brothers — Sim, Bill and Wayne — grew up like any other farm children, pulling their weight and learning the tricks of the trade. After graduating from Murray State University, Homer Lee eventually decided to pilot the family’s farming operation after his father retired from it in the 1980s. Kaye, originally from western Kentucky, moved to Meade County around the same time, taking a position as the state’s first female agriculture county extension agent. “I had never heard of Meade County when they offered me the job,” Kaye said. “Then, when I moved here the first stories I heard from everybody were about the tornado and the chocolate milk that made all the kids sick at school.” Also serving as a 4-H agent, Kaye worked with Meade County extension services from 1985 to 1993. “I grew up on a farm, too, and though I married into ... this one, the history of it is really important to us,” she said. “We’re really happy and lucky to have this.” Though evidence of the changing times is apparent

in the state-of-the-art farm machinery and recently constructed feed barns that pock the acreage, the fields are still steeped in history. At the entrance way to the farm — located on Homer Richardson Lane, which is named after Homer Lee’s father — are two large stone pillars erecting a sign that identifies the homestead. The pillars, Homer Lee said, were crafted by slaves — 60 of which used to live and work on the premises. Buried in the family cemetery that is nestled under the shade of fir trees that line the gravel driveway are a handful of unnamed stone slabs — grave markers of some of the farm’s slaves. “In a will I have from 1857 ... when the land and goods got divided up between sons, the will said to keep slave families together as much as possible,” Homer Lee said.” As Kaye and Homer Lee walk their property, they can point out where slave cabins used to be, and where an old brandy distillery once stood. “People used to stop by and buy a bushel of apples and a gallon of brandy,” Homer Lee said. Today, he and Kaye farm

more than 1,500 acres, predominantly of corn, soybeans and wheat. They also maintain 140 brood cows. With the help of their agriculturally-adept children, Alex, 18, and Lydia, 16, and three trusted farm hands, the farm is running on schedule — a blessing for the busiest time of year. “There were a lot of long nights, almost all-nighters, the last few weeks,” Kaye said.
She and Homer Lee are pleased their children are both interested in farming, and hope they’ll carry the torch for years to come. Alex, who graduates from Meade County High School this year, is in the running to be named an FFA State Star Farmer, an accolade Homer Lee achieved in 1971; in 1994 he was named Kentucky’s Outstanding Young Soybean Farmer, and in 1997 the
Richardson family boasted the cover of “Progressive Farmer” magazine. “Years ago farming was about making a living,” Homer Lee said. “It seems now it’s more about keeping up with technology, about managing. More often than not when you’re running a farm ... you’re running the show in the office, not in a combine.” For two centuries the
Richardson farm has thrived on the fruits of labor and land, and though the fields — once plowed with handled mules — are now sowed with GPS-navigated megatractors, the Richardsons are adamant about keeping their heritage deep-rooted and prevalent. “We want the kids to understand the history that’s out here,” Kaye said. “And there’s a lot of it.”

Lady Waves’ hopes for a state tournament bid squashed after 9-1 loss
ON DECK
By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com
May 28 SPMS Spring Football Practice
Most softball teams experience their fifth loss during the first month of the season, but for the Meade County Lady Waves it took nearly three months. In a season that included win streaks of 11 and 13 games, the Lady Waves grew accustomed to putting “Ws” in the record book. But the team suffered a season-ending loss to the No. 2 ranked Owensboro Catholic Lady Aces, 9-1, May 29 at Grayson County during the 3rd Region championship game. “I feel like we did absolutely everything we could have done this year,” said senior centerfielder Claire Cannady. “It felt like winning just became a natural thing for us. It’s weird tonight. After a win we sing our fight song, but tonight we didn’t. It’s hard to not win this game.” The heartbreaking loss ended one of the best seasons a Meade County softball team has had. Only the 2000 Lady Waves had more wins with 32, but this year with a final record of 30-5, gave the team the best win percentage in the program’s history. “It was a great season,” senior left fielder Cindy Padgett said. “I think it was better than what everyone was expecting. We knew we would be pretty good, but we didn’t know we would have that good of a record.” Although the Lady Waves played

Waves give a season to remember
The Lady Waves softball team sat in shallow right field mourning the fresh defeat against Good Call Owensboro Catholic last Friday. With tears in their eyes, smiles and low chuckles came from the team Ben as Ashley Achtabowski Funk’s fiveyear-old little brother, David, sauntered over to the team from the infield to give the team a thumbs-up. Unaware of the catastrophic loss the Lady Waves just endured, David said what every Meade County fan was thinking: “Good job, girls.” After a record season of 30 wins and only five losses, the team has yet again given Meade County something to be proud of. Even after a 9-1 loss to arguably the best team in the state, it wasn’t a justifying end for the Lady Waves. Errors plagued the defense while poor base running and a lack of hitting cursed the offense, which lead many to question the scheduling of the tournament that left the Lady Waves playing a nine o’clock game the night before the championship game.

Stewart’s chops finally show By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week
CONCORD, N.C. — The inevitable finally happened. Ever since his rookie season in 1999, the Sprint All-Star Race has seemed ideally suited to the driving style of Tony Stewart. Stewart, the only driver to date who has won championships under both the former system (2002) and the Chase format (2005), finally won Lowe’s Motor Speedway’s allstar event in his 11th try. “There are a lot of races I still haven’t won,” said Stewart, “but it’s a hard race to win. Nobody holds anything back. “This is a special race. You know it’s different. You know it’s going to be more difficult because of that. We always, in

(MCHS principal) Mr. Adams told me I was going to speak in front of 5,000 people, I got nervous. I’m sure I’ll be very nervous when I have to do it.” After being a Lady Waves softball catcher for five years, she will graduate as one of the best student-athletes to come out of Meade County. The 4.0 student aided the Lady Waves to a 30-5 season with a district championship, all while studying for her rigorous class load.
“I don’t know how she did it,” the Lady Waves softball head coach Mike Harreld said. “You would see her on the bus studying or doing homework. She’s just one of these people who are extremely intelligent and she is also just a hard worker.” Softball season always proved to be the busiest time for Smith.

outstanding softball throughout the season, the team finally had a hiccup against a very dangerous Owensboro Catholic team. In the first inning, the Owensboro offense attacked Meade County’s ace Maris Harreld by loading up the bases and scoring one run. “It woke me up a little bit,” she said. “They drilled the first pitch and kept hitting. We got out of the first inning well. They only got one run. Then they started to get hits here and there and our errors hurt us.” Harreld lasted only 1 2/3 innings and gave up five hits, struck out two batters, and surrendered four runs. “They’re a good hitting team,” said Meade County’s head coach Mike Harreld. “When you hit Maris like that, you can hit the ball. It wasn’t a shock, I’ve watched them through the region tournament and they put up a lot of numbers in the tournament.” Freshman pitcher Amanda Logsdon came in as relief but had a rough start as the Lady Aces hit several hard shots including a triple down the right field line and two line drive doubles. She pitched 4 1/3 innings while giving up five hits, walking one batter and striking out four. “Nothing seemed to work out for us at all,” Padgett said. “I mean, they hit the ball hard, but there’s nothing we can do about it. We definitely weren’t on top of our game tonight, but they did hit the ball on us.” Owensboro Catholic put up five runs in the first three innings — the most any team had scored against the Lady Waves this year — to make the score 5-1. Meanwhile the Meade County offense floundered. “We had some chances to score tonight,” Harreld said, whose team started three straight innings a leadoff runner on base. “You can’t play the small ball and bunt them to second, because you can’t afford an out. That made it tough being down early like that.” The Lady Waves finally got on the board in the
fourth inning when sophomore Mallory Wathen walked and two batters later sophomore Kristin Benton hit a single to score Wathen, cutting the deficit down to 5-1. Meade County scattered seven hits in the game, while stranding seven runners on base. With the game not completely out of reach for the Lady Waves during the top of fourth, the bottom of the inning proved to be devastating. Several fielding errors left Owensboro Catholic runners on base, who put four more runs on the board, including the final run — a result of a wild pitch. The Lady Waves ended the night with a season-high six errors. “It was very frustrating because we normally don’t play like that,” senior first baseman Megan Fackler said. “We definitely could have beaten them any other given day, I think. They just out-hit us and we made some mental mistakes we normally don’t do.” With mental lapses in the most important game of the year, it’s easy to question the scheduling factor. The night before, the Lady Waves beat Grayson County during the 9 p.m. semifinals game. The team didn’t even arrive back into Meade County until well after midnight. Having school the next day and another hour drive back down to Grayson County, the team showed its wear. “You see us throwing the ball all over the field and we just don’t do that,” Mike Harreld said. “When you get to bed late then have to drive an hour back down here it takes a toll. It’s a crazy deal to expect us to come down and play the next day.” According to Padgett, she didn’t get to bed until after 1 a.m. the night before. “Having to get up at 8 a.m. was kind of rough,” she said. “We didn’t warm up well. We were pumped for (the Grayson County game) but today we were just flat.” “It was very frustrating,” senior catcher Taylor Smith added. “Especially because we played so well (against Grayson County). It just seemed like one thing would go wrong and then anther and it just piled up on us.” Despite the team’s outstanding season, an empty feeling was the sentiment for most of the players and coaches. “Out of all the years we faced (perennial softball powerhouse Owensboro Catholic) I thought we had the best shot this year,” Mike Harreld said. “We have a great team and it was a great season.”

Remember From page B1 But that’s neither here nor there at this point, because this Lady Waves team has solidified itself as one of the best teams in the state, ranked as high as 7th this season. There are very few teams that have played such a difficult schedule. In fact, the Lady Waves has played five of the 16 teams remaining in the tournament. Not to mention beating No. 1 ranked Ballard, and ranked opponents of Greenwood, Daviess County and Central Hardin. That’s not an easy schedule to pull off a 30-win season. The team won an astonishing 13 games that were decided by one run. The most memorable game was the April 16 game against Hancock County. The 10-inning epic was concluded by a gutsy double play by sophomore Scarlett Powers. Meade County fans remained abuzz about that game several weeks afterward. With that win the team went on to go undefeated in the district and claimed its first 11th District title. There were many things that made the softball team unique. One of the biggest reasons for the success was the core of senior girls, who have played together for 10plus years. “I get choked up around this group,” said Meade County softball head coach Mike Harreld, holding back tears after the season’s final game. “They’re are six seniors that I’ve been coaching since they were 10. I can’t wait for the banquet, then I’ll really cry. I told myself I wouldn’t cry tonight, because we’ve had an outstanding season. (Owensboro Catholic) beat us fair and they deserve it.” Senior pitcher/first baseman Maris Harreld — also Mike Harreld’s daughter — anchored the Lady Waves with a 20-2 record including one save. She threw more than 154 innings while only giving up 90 hits after fac-
ing 592 batters. The Asbury College signee ended the season with 162 strikeouts and only walked 16 batters. “It’s hard because we’ve been playing together ever since we were seven and 10 years old,” Maris Harreld said after the Owensboro Catholic loss. “So it’s really hard to know I’ll never play with these girls again. But it’s been a great season. This is definitely where we wanted to be. It would have been nice to win it.” To complete the senior battery was catcher Taylor Smith. Smith had caught Maris Harreld for nearly eight years. Taylor’s ability to control the game was uncanny. Although catchers may not get the recognition they deserve, Smith played every night behind the catcher’s gear. “It can get pretty tough back there,” Smith said, who caught 198 innings this season. “But I love playing softball.” Third base — also known as the hot corner — was filled by senior Amanda Smith. The four-year starter finished the season with an .833 fielding average while putting out 20 batters with 35 assists. She added 11 RBIs including several game-winning hits. In center field was one of the most athletic girls on the team, senior Claire Cannady. Although known for her skills on the volleyball court, Cannady captained the outfield with her speed and ability to chase down balls that many outfielders could not. She only had four errors in 225 innings at centerfield. Alongside Cannady was senior left fielder Cindy Padgett. One of the only slap hitters on the team, Padgett started the season in a hitting slump. But during the last half of the season, Padgett moved her way up to the lead off batter. “(Padgett) was having a tough time getting the ball down,” Mike Harreld said last week after the Grayson County win. “But she finally started to hit and really helped us out.” Last but not least, was first baseman Megan Fackler.

SPORTS QUIZ By Chris Richcreek
As a first baseman her sure glove gave the Lady Waves’ air-tight defense some comfort room. Her ability to scoop up bad throws or use her length to stretch out the plays was always useful at the first base position. Beside the senior leadership came a wealth of underclassmen talent, which includes 17 returning players next season. Junior second baseman Mallory Wathen and sophomore shortstop Kayla Padgett remained one of the best middle-infield duos in the state. Wathen alone had a teambest 76 assists, while Kayla Padgett had the team’s second best with 54. One of the biggest additions to this year was upstart pitcher freshman Amanda Logsdon. The young athlete had the fastest arm on the team and blew away most of the batters she faced. She had 56 strikeouts good for a 9-3 record. Junior Erin Sireno put up iron man numbers as she recorded 233 innings this season at right field. She also had a team-high 18 RBIs and a .347 batting average, including five triples. Another player who had raised her level of play to stardom was sophomore Kristin Benton. She came into the season as a slap hitter, but quickly became one of the power hitters for the Lady Waves.

As the season wrapped up last week, the Lady Waves look to continue their success for the next few years, while looking back at this amazing season. But during the Owensboro Catholic loss tears flowed from the Lady Waves as they stood shocked in defeat. “These are happy tears because we’ve had a good season,” Harreld said. “This is everything I wanted out of it.” And it’s everything the Greenwave Nation could ask for. Thumbs up, girls. You deserve it.

The scholarship is given to an MCHS football player that shows community service, athleticism and good grades. On Tuesday, James Crase became the newest recipient of the scholarship. One of David “Tugboat’s” good friends from high school, James Sherrill — who was also a pallbearer at David’s funeral — died while in Iraq in 2005. Since then the James Sherrill Scholarship was given to the highest GPA of MCHS athletes. Ryan Miller was the recipient, with a 3.73 GPA.

Lady Waves gamble past Grayson County NOW OPEN Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com Meade County Lady Waves softball head coach Mike Harreld was a gambling man on May 28 during his team’s 3rd Region semifinal’s 5-0 victory against hosts Grayson County Lady Tigers. In a game that could have easily been overlooked by the Lady Waves, he started freshman pitcher Amanda Logsdon, who has missed the last three weeks of competition due to a wrist injury and two bouts of the flu, and went on to win 5-0. “I thought it could have been a trap game, but we need Amanda (in the future),” Harreld said. “She hasn’t pitched in three weeks. She pitches smoke like the Butler pitcher so I thought that might have been a problem.” Logsdon’s strong, but out of form arm could have left the Lady Tigers’ offense licking their chops and was a concern for Harreld who saw them hammer one of the best pitchers in the state from Butler County. “It’s a team that’s 16-16, but if you look at their record their wins have come at the end of the season and they have really came alive lately,” Harreld said. “I knew they were going to hit the ball tonight,” he added. “I knew (Logsdon) was going to be rusty and she was. She hung the ball over the plate some and they hit the ball hard. I just thought they were hitting her too hard. It made me nervous to have her in there with just a two-run lead.” The lead was more
than enough for the Lady Waves as Logsdon pitched the first 2 1/3 innings and was replaced by senior Maris Harreld who pitched 3 2/3 innings and struck out two batters. “I was a little scared and I was hoping I was going to do good, but obviously the first few innings I didn’t do so hot,” Logsdon said. She also pitched the last inning to end the night with the win in 3 1/3 innings of work, while walking one batter, giving up three hits and striking out four. “I felt more confident, because when I warmed back up I did a little better,” Logsdon said about going back into the game during the final inning. “It’s good to knock rust off and get back into it.” On the offensive side, the Lady Waves’ bats finally came alive after only scoring two runs in the last two games. In the top of the third with the bases loaded, junior Erin Sireno’s grounder scored sophomore Kayla Padgett. Then senior Amanda Smith tacked on anther run with an RBI single to extend Meade County’s lead, 2-0. The lead grew bigger for the Lady Waves when they put up a three-run sixth inning, which started with sophomore Kristin Benton’s single with the bases loaded that scored Sireno from third. The next batter, Maris Harreld, then hit a line drive to score pinch runner sophomore Raymie Greenwell, making the score 4-0. The final run of the game was scored when a fielder’s choice scored Benton. “They just seem to rise to

quite a challenge. “The spring semester is really hard,” the senior said. “You’re so busy with softball and then school work, it’s time consuming. The teachers are really helpful though, they help schedule around things like that.” Her hard work transferred to the softball diamond. During her youth years, Smith’s father, Kenton, put her behind the plate — a position that is not always delightful for younger children. “He just put me at catcher,” she said. “I guess it just kind of stuck.” When she first entered the Lady Waves’ program during her eighth grade year Harreld felt she didn’t have the athletic ability or quickness to become an effective catcher. “I would have bet a $1,000 dollars when she was never going to be our starting catcher because of her arm strength, but she worked hard at it,” Harreld said. As she got more serious about catching Smith recieved training from a coach who used to play for the University of Louisville softball team. With drills and extra practice Smith became the starting catch-
boro Catholic. “I’m definitely excited,” sophomore second baseman Mallory Wathen said after the win. “This is where we want to be. We played loose. Coach always says ‘loosen up, not tighten up.’ So we always like to come out and play like it’s any other game and play like we have all season.”

er for the Lady Waves. The drills “really snapped her feet around and got the ball out quickly,” according to Harreld. Besides hard work and athletic talent, Smith’s intelligence made it easy on her coach and the Lady Waves pitchers. Catching for various pitchers means there are different pitch cadences and styles she had to adapt to. “(To be a catcher,) you have to be pretty smart and know the signs,” Harreld said. “You have to know the numbering system but they may be different for each pitcher. Like a three may be a change up for one pitcher but a screwball for another. She has to know every single pitcher and what they throw. We ask a lot out of our catchers.” Smith also called out pickoff plays and placed fielders in the right spots. “You have to be ready every single pitch,” the fiveyear catcher said. “You can’t just take one pitch off. Even in practice we’re working. It’s tough being a catcher.” She also spent plenty of extra hours during the offseason to prepare the Lady Waves pitchers. Smith was one of the team leaders — a leader that led by action rather than voice. “She gets along with everyone,” Harreld said. “She was a good leader for us. She was one of those who
led by example. She wasn’t the ‘rah, rah’ type. She was quiet and did whatever was asked of her.” Her leadership spilled over into her social life when Smith was named this spring’s Prom Queen. She was also elected to several homecoming courts. With May 19’s loss to Owensboro Catholic, Smith has ended her career as a softball player and began counting down the days to graduation. “I’m excited to graduate,” she said. “It’s actually really weird (not having anything to do after school). I turned to (my best friend Megan Fackler) and was like ‘what do we do?’ It’s weird, but it’s really nice too.” Smith will attend the University of Kentucky in the fall and room with Fackler. “I’m so excited to go there,” Smith said. “The campus is really nice and wide open. I’m going to look forward to having the freedom.” She plans to finish her four years of undergraduate studies then apply for UK’s pharmaceutical program, which is one of the top programs in the nation. “I don’t know for sure why I’m doing it, but I enjoy math and science a lot,” she said.

ing softball schedule, Smith looks forward to a summer of rest and relaxation. “I really like hanging around the lake and go jet skiing,” Smith said. “I’ll probably just hang out with friends and I’ll have to work a little bit to get money for college.” Even though she’s enjoying her time off, Smith still has to write her speech. As of Monday it remained unfinished and she was rather protective of it. “I don’t know for sure where I’m going to go with it, but it’s a secret,” Smith said. “I haven’t told my parents, my friends or anyone.” Even after Smith moves to Lexington, she will always remember where she came from. “I’ll remember the people here,” she said. “My favorite teacher was Mrs. Miller an English teacher, even though math is my best subject.” And she learned life lesson both from athletics and academics. “You can’t procrastinate,” Smith said. “You have to work hard at both school and sports. You have to work hard at everything. That’s something I have learned here (at Meade County).” Graduation is slated to begin tonight at 8 p.m. at the MCHS football field.

Tech-savvy students earn top awards at state match By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com
Participants in the 2009 Student Technology Leadership state competition, held in Lexington represented every school in Meade County. More than 2,000 students across the state competed and two Meade County schools picked up first place honors in two separate categories. Shannon Anderson, STLP coordinator at Meade County High School, has competed twice in the state competition before, though said some of her students had possibly competed before she took over as coordinator. Despite having no first place finishes for her group, she said her students enjoyed participating in the competition. “We discovered many other competitions that we’d like to compete in next year,” she said. All Meade County schools retained Gold STLP status for the current school year.

Parents & Family members of the 2009 Graduating Class
Kindergartners have field day at year’s end By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com Brandenburg Primary School kindergartners enjoyed a fun-filled day at the school’s annual end-of-the-year field day. The day was crammed full of events like potato sack races, tattoo art, dancing, the “bounce house” inflatable, “pie the teacher,” bowling and much more. Teachers made sure to be prepared for the scorching heat, with temperatures reaching the high 80s. “The teachers have all prepared for the hot weather today by bringing bottled waters and sunscreen for their students,” said Amy Duncan, a physical education teacher at the school. “The kids look forward to this every year, and it’s really a good way for them to just go out and celebrate another successful school year.” Kindergarten and first grade students owned the school’s playground for field day on Monday and second and third grade students took over on Tuesday. The school allotted time on Tuesday for students to participate in a hog-calling contest as well. A student from every class was nominated by his or her classmates to compete in the event. “(The contest is) just sort of another fun thing for students to be excited about,” Duncan said. “It’s all really a great way to end the year.”

•It was British fantasy writer Terry Pratchett who made the following sage observation: "The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it."
•When he arrived in the United States from Italy in 1913, renowned film star and sex symbol Rudolph Valentino could speak no English. By the time he died in 1926, at the age of 31, he was so adored that, as reports of the time indicate, many of his female fans succumbed to mass hysteria. •You might be surprised to learn that Arlington National Cemetery is built on the site of the former estate of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

•Reports out of India in the early 20th century indicated that there was a Hindu fakir named Agastiya in the Bengal region who decided, out of religious conviction, to hold one arm straight above his head. Experts say that the first few months would be the difficult part; after that, the arm would have no circulation and would remain rigid. Agastiya reportedly held this position for 10 years, until his death in 1912, and even in death the arm could not be lowered.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) While nothing can deter a determined Bovine from following a course you believe in, it helps to have some supporting data and statements by trusted colleagues to make your case. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Take advantage of new information that could help make your career transition easier. The weekend is a good time to re-establish relationships with people you haven't seen in a while.

Quick action to shore things up is called for in order to avoid more problems down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Although your financial picture begins to brighten, "thrift" and "caution" are still the watchwords for fiscally astute Leos and Leonas to live by. Expect news about a family matter. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Before you try to blame a colleague for a workplace problem, make sure you have the proof to back you up. Make some quiet inquiries on your own to try to solicit more information. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to cheer up a depressed friend or downcast family member can be difficult. But keep at it, and your efforts should soon pay off in ways you might have never expected.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Rebuilding an unraveling relationship won't be easy. But you can do it, if you really want to. Just remember to keep the lines of communication open between the two of you. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new friendship could develop into a close relationship. Meanwhile, reassure an old friend who might be feeling neglected that he or she is still an important part of your life. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might be feeling that you're still in over your head as you continue trying to adjust to your new situation. But the pressures ease by week's end, giving you time to come up for air. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for sensing the feelings of others. You might consider a career in some aspect of counseling.

Prevent accidents by taking boater’s safety
STOCK PHOTO
Understanding boating safety is important when enjoying the water during summer. Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — Memorial Day weekend draws more boaters to Kentucky’s lakes and rivers than any other time of year. However, this season’s unofficial beginning comes with a stern warning for boaters. Nine people have already
lost their lives on Kentucky waters this year. “We’re off to a very bad start considering the boating season has not even begun yet,” said Sgt. John Anderson, boating education coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “It’s a huge concern for us, and it should be a concern
for everyone in Kentucky.” Kentucky Fish and Wildlife conservation officers will be out in full force patrolling the state’s waters. They will be watching for impaired boaters, reckless operation and other safety violations. “Most of our boaters are safe, conscientious boaters who don’t mix alcohol with boating, take the time
Wildlife commission proposed modifications on elk hunt Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission today proposed some modifications to Elk Hunt Unit 6 (EHU) at a special called meeting in Frankfort. The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission recommends all hunting, fishing and boating regulations for approval by the General Assembly and approves all expenditures by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. All recommendations must be approved by legislators before they become law. The Commission recommended splitting Elk Hunt Unit 6 into five sub-units designated by letter. Elk Hunt Unit 6 is home to the 16,704-acre Graham Wildlife Management Area (WMA), the 30,038acre Begley WMA and the 54,838-acre Corrigan WMA. Subdividing Elk Hunt Unit 6, which is located in all or parts of Clay, Leslie, Harlan, Bell, Knox, Whitley and McCreary counties, will help more evenly distribute hunting pressure during the quota elk hunts. The subdivision would take effect this year. Commission members also recommended changes to the 2010 late season quota elk hunt. The hunts began last year to help control elk-related property damage. Hunters drawn for this hunt will come from the pool of regular hunt applicants who are also residents of the 16-county elk restoration zone. Hunters may also harvest a few spike bulls. The number of hunters to be drawn for this late season hunt has not yet been determined. The Commission also standardized the definition of a youth for elk hunting as “a person who has not reached their sixteenth birthday by the day of the hunt.” This regulation would not take effect until 2010. It would not affect youths
drawn for the 2009 hunt. The next Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting will be held at 8 a.m., Friday, June 12 at #1 Sportsman’s Lane off U.S. 60 in Frankfort. Persons interested in addressing the Commission must notify Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Commissioner’s office in writing at least 30 days in advance to be considered for placement on the meeting agenda. People who are hearing impaired and plan to attend the meeting should contact Kentucky Fish and Wildlife at least 10 days in advance and the agency will provide a translator. To request to address the commission, write to KDFWR, Commissioner Jon Gassett, #1 Sportsman’s Lane, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601.
to learn the proper skills and are never involved in an accident or incident,” Anderson noted. “It’s a small minority that makes it dangerous for the rest of us, so we’ve got to get this message out to everyone.” Taking a boater education course is the most effective way to prevent accidents. Courses are offered throughout the year in each Kentucky county, and taking a course is required for boat operators ages 12 to 17 who operate boats 10 horsepower or over. The safety lessons learned in boater education courses, however, are essential for all boaters. Putting on a life jacket, for example, is perhaps the most important step you can take in keeping you and your family safe. “Your odds with a life jacket are substantially better than with a seatbelt in a car,” Anderson explained. “Approximately 90 percent of all people who die in boating accidents die as a result of drowning. That means 90 percent would have survived if they had worn a life jacket.” Another essential safety
precaution is leaving alcoholic beverages on shore. Drinking and boating is illegal for both operators and passengers. “Those who choose to violate that law not only risk a citation or arrest, but they are taking their lives and the lives of those around them in their own hands,” Anderson said. Boating can be a safe, fun activity for all Kentuckians. Last year, for instance, was the safest Kentucky boating season since record-keeping began 40 years ago. By putting safety first, everyone on the water can focus on having a good time. “Boating is considered the number one summer activity among families,” said Anderson. “It can be excellent exercise. It gets you out in the fresh air. It’s a healthy activity, and when it’s done properly, it’s good for everybody.” For complete information on boating regulations, safety requirements and more, check the 2009 Kentucky Fishing and Boating Guide, available online at fw.ky.gov and wherever fishing licenses are sold.
