The Meade Co. Fair: From Dolly Parton to demo derbies By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com

Hundreds of Meade Countians gather at the Meade County Fair when it was at presentday Ramsey Field. This photo was taken in the early 1950s.

Meade Countians, it’s that time of year again. Time for the social event of the season, the thing many residents have been waiting for all year — the Meade County Fair. And, it seems, it’s been this way for a long time. The Meade County Fair has humble beginnings. Current fair manager David Pace said the event now known as the Meade County Fair began as a school parade, held where Big O Tires sits now, on Broadway, before moving to Ramsey Field. It was in the early 1950s that

the Meade County Farm Bureau bought the land — which it still owns — where the fairgrounds sits today, and Pace said he’s heard it was a bold move for the fair board. “People said, ‘Nobody will ever drive that far,’” he said. “Now, we’re almost landlocked again.” The fair board members, at the time, even had to sign personal notes of indebtedness at the bank, to the tune of $25, when the land was purchased. “Everyone of them personally had to guarantee the loan,” Pace said.

County worker laid off after closed session Staff Report The News Standard During a special called meeting held Friday evening at the courthouse, Fiscal Court members entered a closed session for more than an hour, pursuant to KRS. 61.810(1)(f): “Discussions or hearings which might lead to the appointment, discipline or dismissal of an individual employee ...” After coming out of closed session, magistrate Steve Wardrip made a motion to lay-off county attorney secretary Virginia Simmons. The motion was seconded by magistrate Mark Hubbard, and unanimously approved. A previous closed session was held last month, during which Simmons was called in to the executive session, though no action was made at that meeting.

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com Louisville Metro Parks personnel are pleased with the amount of interest being shown in Otter Creek Park by potential operators, though a common point of discontent voiced by some of those operators is over the park’s location in an alcohol-free precinct. Jason Cissell, public information officer for Louisville Metro Parks, said the city’s request for proposals has been downloaded more than 30 times since it was posted in early June. He said at least 15 interested parties have toured Otter Creek Park and its facilities. “We do feel good about those interested in working with Metro Parks to possibly operate the park,” Cissell said. “It’s in our interest to sort out the proposals as soon as possible, because we know the community has an interest in having it be done as soon as possible.” Proposals for operation of the park are due by 3 p.m. on July 27, and Cissell said it will take Metro Parks personnel roughly a month to review the paperwork. “The contract that we have allows us to

negotiate with more than one interested party,” he 60 said. “And it will take a few months of that.” Cissell said realistically, it would be 2010 before a park operator was named. He also said that some interested parties — which could use the park for anything, like resort lodging and golf courses, or keep it an outdoors sports mecca — are voicing concern over the dry precinct that contains most of Otter Creek Park. Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said it would be the park operator’s prerogative to discuss changing the precinct to wet by talking with the Kentucky Department of Alcoholic Control.

Farm Bureau breakfast to spotlight value of county’s agriculture By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com With the Meade County Fair beginning tomorrow, the Meade County Farm Bureau is rallying up locals to join in its second annual fair breakfast. The breakfast got its

start last year when Meade County Farm Bureau member Fred L. Sipes decided to mimic the Kentucky Farm Bureau Country Ham Breakfast held each year at the state fair. “We got the idea from the Kentucky State Farm Bureau that actually hosts a country

ham breakfast at the (Kentucky) State Fair each year and we thought it would be a good idea to sort of ricochet off of them because the Meade County Fair is such a big event and Meade County is such an agricultural county,” he said. Last year, the cost of the

breakfast — just 50 cents per person — was used as a metaphor for the theme of the event showing just how little farmers profit off their yields. “We had a food versus fuel theme and we talked about how fuel and food prices were going up but

farmers weren’t making any more (revenue) off their products,” Sipes said. This year, the breakfast will focus on Meade County agriculture and the importance of recognizing the county’s various types of farmers. “We’re going to have a

video showing all the different farming in Meade County,” Sipes said. Also attending the event is guest speaker Mark Haney, President of Kentucky Farm Bureau. Haney said when he was

From page A1 County Fair since 1982, when he worked as co-superintendent for the truck and tractor pulls. In the late ‘80s, Pace took a seat on the fair board and has been manager since 1994. Pace was following in the footsteps of his father, E. Wayne Pace, who was fair manager himself. “We were always big supporters of the fair,” Pace said. Another big supporter of the fair is James Greer Sr., also a former fair manager, for 17 years. He began his tutelage in the early 1960s and said every year, he’d say he couldn’t do it again, but every year he did. “We had a lot of real good people,” he said. Greer started working with the fair because of his involvement with the FFA as an ag teacher. During those times, agricultural attractions were huge at the county fair. “We had the horse pulling contest, the English horse show, the western horse show,” he said. But, he and his fair board organized the first tractor pulls. “It was a far cry from what it is now, but you had to start somewhere,” he said. “All we did, was we had two great big strips of metal, 10 feet wide, 10 or 12 feet long, and Irvin Parr and Charlie Jenkins welded it together with two big hooks on each end. Our early tractor pulls, we put a tractor on one end and a tractor on the other end and see who could outpull each other.” Though most people are probably thankful for the addition of the tractor pulls, Greer has an even bigger moment he looks back to during his time as fair manager. “We were lucky,” he said. “I worked with their agent. They were moving from Indianapolis back to Nashville and they were coming through Louisville and they didn’t have … a show that night, so I talked to them about coming to play the Meade County Fair.”

Hilda and Todd Medley participate in the 1969 Western Horse Show at the Meade County Fair. A permanent announcer’s stand used to be located in the center of the arena, and several mobile homes used to line the south side of the fairgrounds. They, of course, were country music stars Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton. “That was the biggest night we’d ever had,” he said. Greer said he and his fair board were “tickled” they could book the stars, especially on such short notice. “Dolly and Porter, they really put them on a show,” he said. At that time, the fairgrounds had a center stage, and Greer said Parton and Wagoner stayed out, signing autographs, until every last person who wanted one was able to get one. In fact, Parton and Wagoner weren’t the only stars to make their way to Meade County. Before the tractor and truck pulls took off, headliners were called in every year to entertain, including country musician Marty Robbins. Greer said that once the truck and tractor pulls started gaining crowds, though, the headliners were dropped for other forms of entertainment. Pace agreed. “The fair has come along way since the older days,” Pace said. “Friday night was beauty pageant in their swim suits and Saturday night, they’d come back in their formals.

The main event after that was the English horse show. Our concentration has gone a lot from, we’ve still kept the agricultural theme, but we’ve gone to the motor sports activities.” “I’d say the Meade County Fair is probably, I know it’s one of the most, it may be the most progressive fair. Over the last 10 years, under David (Pace’s) leadership, they can beat anybody,” Greer said. Pace said Greer’s time as fair manager was a lot harder, simply because of the times. “It was different then,” Greer said. “Everything moved a little slower. (Pace and his fair board) have had a lot of good ideas.” Pace doesn’t have to take Greer at his word for how progressive the fair is. The Kentucky State Department of Agriculture and the Kentucky Association of Fairs and Horse Shows have both given out awards and honors to Meade County, but Pace said the award most coveted, the Most Progressive Fair, was won in 1996, which made Meade County the most progressive fair in the state. Pace said the award he, personally, covets the most is The All Kentucky

Counties Fair award, which is given to fairs that utilize money from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and continue to grow while maintaining agriculture heritage, has also been awarded to Meade County. “We’ve won that 18 years or more in a row,” Pace said. Meade County Fair has also won the “Show Your

Colors” award, based on the number of people who make it to training, which reviews fair topics like insurance, working with carnivals and contracts. There’s also a large trade fair, at the training expo, which is a way for fair personnel to swap stories and ideas. In fact, two events added to this year’s calendar came from the trade fair: the rollover events and the demolition derby for lawnmowers. “That’s not something I thought we’d ever do,” he said. Every year, Pace said the fair board is always looking for new attractions, especially if the schedule seems to be going well and attendance is holding. One thing both Pace and Greer agree on is that the fair managers and fair board, despite their hard work and years of commitment, aren’t the most important aspects of the Meade County Fair. It’s the people of Meade County. “The thing that makes our fair is the volunteers,” Pace said. “We’ve got a great fair board, but we’re a drop in the bucket compared to what goes on for the week.” Pace said volunteers number in the hundreds, or even a thousand, for the week of fair and Greer said he knows people who plan their vaca-

tions around fair time, just so they’re able to be there and help, if needed. “The week of the fair, you might as well roll up the streets in Brandenburg,” Greer said. “Everybody’s there. It’s a good venue for people to get together, at least once a year.” And the fair board works hard to keep the fair and the fairgrounds growing for the people. “In the past 10 years, we’ve remodeled or rebuilt every building out there,” Pace said, which is due, in part, to the strong foundation set up by previous fair boards. “We’re really proud of that.” Another aspect of fairground remodeling is the blacktopping of many surfaces out there, about which Pace said he’s heard a lot of positive comments. Greer said he could never have imagined, during his time as fair manager, that the fair would end up the way it is now, though he hoped it would, and, now, his hopes are for Pace and the leaders that follow him to continue to grow. “Keep those people that are very progressive involved, turn them loose and let them operate,” Greer said.

There’s no “I” in team when it comes to building a riverport

James Kolle, Battletown Letter to the Editor,

I have been to most of the planning and zoning meetings in the past year over “the new Meade County Quarry,” OK, now this is getting ridiculous. OK, our county thinks our end of Meade County should be the business end, should be ran by rock quarries, that its going to provide more jobs and more tax money for the county. We have been told we are setting on the best, purest, limestone in the world. OK, then we have the best assets in the world in our little area. So this means our “property land farms” are worth more than the whole rest of the county! So now what? Because of ones greed a place we wanted to live the rest of our lives and have peace and quiet and nature around us. It’s all been taken away. I personally never expected to move again, because of the rock quarry going night and day and the health risk in our area my farm is now for sale, yes! OK, I don’t have a clue where I would move and the price I’ve listed my farm for a business could buy it and no matter what price we sell our farm for this was never in my plans to have to move. Kathy Kolle, Big Bend/Battletown

that people do not spend as carefully using someone else’s money. However, officials say they can’t afford to abandon these organizations because they provide low rates on liability insurance premiums and loans from private investors. Indeed. But let’s look again at the dynamic that separates private enterprise from government. Unlike government or even quasi-government agencies, private-sector firms must make a profit. Government can pickpocket the taxpayer to pay for lavish hotel rooms and high-priced escorts at night and then undercut the private-sector insurance rates during the day. If government wants more money for its wasteful appetites, it takes from you in the form of taxes. But private companies can only raise prices so high before the customers bail.

The travesty of the Waxman-Markey bill The cap-and-trade bill passed the House of Representatives shrouded in a fog of willful ignorance and calculated irrationality. No one could be sure what he was voting for — not after the 1,200-page bill had a 300-page amendment added at 3:09 a.m. the day of its passage. The bill is so complex and jerry-built that even its supporters can’t know how, or if, it will work. And it’s metaphysically impossible for someone to know whether the motivating crisis, impending planetary doom, will ever materialize. Other than that, it’s a model exercise in thoughtful lawmaking. The architects of the socalled Waxman-Markey bill bought off every possible interest group no matter what the policy consequences until they had a bare majority to slam it through the House sight unseen (a physical copy of the final bill didn’t yet exist when it passed). Mission accomplished, although at the price of a ramshackle

bill that won’t succeed on its own terms, even as it introduces costly distortions and invasive bureaucratic controls into the economy. The basic idea of capand-trade is that government establishes an economywide cap on carbon emissions and then creates emission credits, which companies can buy or sell among themselves. It is essentially carbon rationing designed to suppress traditional sources of energy. Because cap-and-trade is meant to create pain in an economy dependent on fossil fuels for 85 percent of its energy, the only way to make it politically salable is to vitiate it. Originally, the Obama administration counted on $80 billion a year from the government’s sale of emissions credits. To win over industry, Waxman-Markey gives the credits away for free. Poof! There goes the revenue. The upshot is that an Environmental Protection Agency analysis says that under Waxman-Markey, there will be no reduction

I think something smells here. A rezoning request by the Meade County Quarry went before the planning and zoning board where the board voted to deny the request 5/2! Before the recommendation could be sent to fiscal court for consideration, MCQ withdrew their request and never resubmitted it again. So why are some of our elected officials wanting to restart the process without anyone even submitting a request to do so?

Meade County Riverport Authority Chairman Joe Wright was dead-on when he told Fiscal Court Tuesday night that the sole goal of the riverport is to be a service to the county, a service that brings job, industry and revenue to our area. He also noted that the authority has had a slow go — nearly three years of existence working to construct a riverport and merely an access road to show for it — another honest observation. Riverport progress has sat practically stalemate for several years, and yet now, suddenly, the whole project is on the verge of going under if a time deadline isn’t met. When did the clock start ticking? The stimulus money being granted to fund the sanitary sewer project for the riverport has a time limit, of course, and it would be a crying shame for that money to be revoked because it wasn’t used soon enough. The riverport authority — finally prepared to get something substantial underway — is surely eager to get the ball rolling by building some basic infrastructure, though its sudden demand for timeliness seems to have caught county and city officials off guard. How can the riverport authority, fiscal court and Brandenburg City Council be on three totally different pages in regard to the riverport? All three entities seem unprepared and/or unaware of where the others stand. Of course council members and magistrates should scrutinize plans, designs and funding before any decisions are made (decisions that involve taxpayers’ money) but these three bodies should be at a more common understanding. A meeting tentatively scheduled for the Monday after fair week will bring city council, fiscal court and riverport authority members together for one big mind-picking session, but meetings such as this should’ve been held regularly over the last three years. Members of the Industrial Development Authority should also be present at the meeting to better comprehend the undertaking at hand at the industrial park. It’s going to take teamwork and more fluid and constant communication between these bodies of government if Meade County is ever going to see a riverport materialize.

NEWS City receives grant for generators, tables talk on riverport

The News Standard - A5

Friday, July 17, 2009

By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com

BRANDENBURG — State Rep. Jeff Greer (DBrandenburg) paid a special visit to city council Monday night. During city council’s monthly meeting, Greer presented a $4,976.19 check to Mayor David Pace. “The area development fund through Lincoln Trail … has a grant in the amount of $4,976.19,” Greer said. “It’s my understanding that this will be used for generators, which all of us know … that’s something we can’t have enough of.” After Greer’s presentation, council discussed city bills and Pace pointed out the purchase of playground equipment for the new city park called “Nickel Park” that will be located on the 3.7 acres across from the Meade County Cooperative Extension office on Old Ekron Road. The land was donated to the city by C.K. and Virginia Miller. Council also discussed possibly combining the 3.7 acres of Nickel Park with the Meade County Public Library’s five-acre parcel, which lies adjacent. “The first drawing … is limited where they were able to set the building without a lot of excavation work — that was one of the things they were trying to work with the site is to keep it as natural as possible,” Pace said. He presented the council with two drawings: the original drawing of the library and another of the combination of the two sites. “I guess I’m asking your feelings about us and the library together working to make this a two-way thing for both of us,” Pace said. No motion was made on the matter; however coun-

Breakfast From page A1 asked by Sipes to talk at the event he felt honored because speaking about the importance of agriculture is something he feels can’t be stressed enough. “Any time that I can do anything in my role to tell the story of agriculture and what it means in Kentucky … I agree to do it,” Haney said. “I get the invitation many times … there are lots of opportunities to get out in the counties and that’s

Dry From page A1 executive’s office shows the current layout of the 18 precincts and six districts of Meade County, after

cil members agreed with combining the two areas. Pace welcomed Ron Reinscheld, a representative of the Planning and Zoning committee, to the meeting to discuss a matter not listed on the agenda. Reinscheld presented a zoning issue brought to him by a local business owner. “This is for four acres located at 3340 ByPass Road and it’s owned by Timmy Barr,” Reinscheld said. “He’s wanting to rezone it from I1 (industrial one) to C2 (commercial two) … there was no opposition at all.” Barr is the owner of Barr Automotive that recently relocated to the former Trimac Trucking site. “(The site) is no different than it was industrial; it’s actually lessoning from industrial to commercial,” Pace said. Council unanimously voted to accept the rezoning. The Meade County Riverport Authority submit-

ted a formal letter to council soliciting its support on its current sanitary sewer project. “They’re asking the city if they can take an average daily flow capacity … of 3,500 gallons a day,” Pace said. “We do have the capacity to take that on, but one of the things I wanted T.J. (Hughes, public works director) to follow up on 1 is the county on board with this, and No. 2 is us being able to take this on and how the routing is going to feed into the site. We haven’t had a drawing sent to us yet.” Pace said he feels an agreement can be made in the future, but before it’s made, he would like to hear the county’s response to the project and be able to see the drawings of the project. “I would just like to know more about it before we agree to something that nobody else is,” he said. “I think we need to wait to see how fiscal court acts

on it tomorrow before we agree to do anything.” “What would it hurt for us to go ahead with it?” Joyner asked. “I mean, that’s all it is, is a letter of support.” Pace said if the riverport project shows any modifications that would need to be done to the industrial park located next to the project, “then we can’t agree to take stuff out of the industrial park without knowing exactly what it is.” Applegate moved to table the issue until the August meeting, allowing time for Pace to receive a drawing of the project. Councilwoman Patsy Lusk seconded the motion and it was unanimously tabled. Pace informed the board about a local group of teenagers that will be volunteering with clean up at the Meade County Fair, as well as expressing their “green” mannerisms around town. “They are called the Green Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute,” he said. “This group is … working throughout the city on many different avenues.” Pace said the team plans to create a recycling contest “to try to capture plastics.” “They can enter in a contest that’s a team competition through the Lincoln Trail Innovation Center where each one will submit their program and see who has the most green idea,” he said. In other city council news: •Council unanimously reappointed Kitty Smith to the Industrial Development Authority secretary/ treasurer position. •All council members except Ronnie Joyner, who abstained, voted in favor of a business license for Doe

the best part of my job.” His presentation will focus on Kentucky’s agriculture heritage and an issue that continues to face the Commonwealth — rural development. “The strength that we have in Kentucky in agriculture is working together in our small communities where we live, and the more that we can bring urban and rural together to work on our issues, the better we all will be,” he said. Haney is an apple and beef farmer from Pulaski County and was elected president of Kentucky Farm Bureau in December

2008 after serving as vice president. The breakfast will begin at 7 a.m. on Thursday and Sipes said the event is scheduled to end at 8 a.m. The Meade County Farm Bureau Building will lodge the event, and tickets are $1 at both Meade County Farm Bureau offices in Brandenburg and Flaherty, as well as the Meade County Cooperative Extension Office, located at 1041 Old Ekron Road in Brandenburg and the Natural Resource Conservation Service office, located inside the Meade County Conservation District building at 1194-B Old

Ekron Road. Tickets are also being sold at Meade County and First Federal Savings banks, the Meade County Sheriff’s office — located inside the courthouse — and Meade County RECC, located at 1351 Hwy. 79 in Brandenburg. Guests should sign the back of their tickets at the entrance in order to enter a drawing to win a country ham. All proceeds from the breakfast will benefit Meade County 4-H and FFA. For more information, contact Greg Beavin at the Meade County Farm Bureau office at 270-422-3979.

their borders were reconfigured. Nearly all 2,147 acres of Otter Creek Park are now within the Rock Haven — Doe Valley precinct. Cissell said Metro Parks is continuing maintenance of the park while plans to hire an operator are un-

derway. He said roadways within the park continue to be cared for, and debris removal and mowing are presently being done. “We have a limited amount of maintenance personnel ... for all 2,000 acres, but it is being maintained,” Cissell said. “It’s

within our interest to keep the park looking good as interested parties tour it.” Otter Creek Park was officially closed on Jan. 2, one of several cuts made by Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson in an attempt to control the city’s spiralling budget.

The license was motioned to be tabled by Lusk once council was informed by Pace that the Inn is currently zoned commercial but the Basket House is zoned R3 (residential for multi-family homes).

Pace said he will request further information from the applicant, Chris McGehee, to further understand how the two locations will collaborate. The motion was seconded by Fackler and unanimously passed. •Council also held a closed session in pursuant to KRS 61.810 section 1 (c) — discussion of proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf of the public agency. After the session, Pace said no action was taken during the meeting.

other person to see what will happen. Perhaps a foolish fight is initiated. Maybe two weeks will pass without a phone call. Or sometimes flirtation occurs with a rival. In each instance, the question being asked is “How important am I to you, and what would you do if you lost me?” An even more basic issue lies below that one. It wants to know, “How free am I to leave if I want to?” It is incredibly important in these instances to appear poised, secure and equally independent. Do not grasp the other person and beg for mercy. Some people remain single throughout life because they cannot resist the temptation to grovel when the test occurs. 7. Extending the same concept, keep in mind that virtually every dating relationship that continues for a year or more and seems to be moving toward marriage will be given the ultimate test. A breakup will occur, motivated by only one of the lovers. The rejected individual should know that their future together depends on the skill with which he or she handles that crisis. If the hurting individual can remain calm, the

next two steps may be reconciliation and marriage. It often happens that way. If not, then no amount of pleading will change anything. 8. Do not depend entirely upon one another for the satisfaction of every emotional need. Maintain interests and activities outside that romantic relationship, even after marriage. 9. Guard against selfishness in your love affair. Neither the man nor the woman should do all the giving. I once broke up with a girl because she let me take her to nice places, bring her flowers, buy her lunch, etc. I wanted to do these things but expected her to reciprocate in some way. She didn’t.

What can be learned from His creation of earth? What can be learned from God resting after He created the world? “We should learn from this not to holler about going to bed at night,” said Trevor, 6. It’s hard to rest when you’re hollering, isn’t it, Trevor? “We can learn that we can get something finished in a week,” said Jesse Anne, 7. We should be able to accomplish something worthwhile every week. Because we forget so easily, try keeping a journal to track what God is doing in your life every day. “His hands were tired because he was doing all this and all that. He was creating a lot of stuff,” said Katherine, 6. Though God never actually gets tired, his hands cer-

REEL REVIEWS

ENTERTAINMENT

Depp plays it straight in ‘Public Enemies’ Public Enemies/Starring Johnny Depp/Rated R Johnny Depp is dapper Depression-era desperado John Dillinger in the new bullet-riddled re-telling of the story of America’s first “public enemy No. 1” and the FBI’s obsession with bringing him in, dead or alive. Depp — who’s demonstrated his eagerness to slide into some fairly eccentric roles in movies like “Edward Scissorhands,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” — plays it straight for a change as the stylish 1930s bank robber, who loved the ladies, living on the edge and emptying the vaults of financial institutions across the Midwest. But Christian Bale plays it even straighter as federal agent Melvin Purvis, the allbusiness, nose-to-the-grindstone sharpshooter handpicked by J. Edgar Hoover to put an end to Dillinger’s crime spree. French actress Marion Cotillard is Dillinger’s girlfriend, Billie Frenchette, a barely-getting-by coat-check girl who falls for the dashing gangster and his promises of taking her away to a bet-

ter life. The 1920s hit “Bye, Bye Blackbird” becomes the theme song to their love story. Director Michael Mann gets all the details just right, from the thunderous rat-atat-tat of machine guns to the clattery din of the elevated trains outside Billie’s Chicago apartment. He spends a lot of time on the little things that let you know where, and when, you are — the lighted face of a bedside AM radio, the trim on a getaway car, the dial on old rotary pay phones. He completely immerses you in Dillinger’s world. Mann also adheres to the historical facts of Dillinger’s well-documented tapestry of brazen daylight heists, gritty shootouts and improbable jailbreaks, and

addresses how Dillinger became a folk hero revered by much of the working-class public for sticking it to the banks, the institutional villains of the day. Too bad the movie’s fine craft work is applied on the surface of such a hollow shell. Both Dillinger and Purvis are frustratingly onedimensional; we’re never shown even a glimpse into how or why either of these “public enemies” came to be. There’s a great story there, but you won’t find it here. For a movie about such a bedeviling character and the wild-ride life he led, “Public Enemies” has surprisingly little drive, dramatic tension or emotional heft.

CD, BOOK, DVD NEW RELEASES

Recapture the action with seasons 1, 2 of ‘Lost’

Lost — The Complete First & Second Seasons (Blu-ray DVD) Fans of the hit ABC-TV series will enjoy this bonus-packed, hi-def recap of the way it all started back in 2004: A passenger jet crashes on a tropical island, drilling the survivors into an everdeepening drama of mystery, action and mind-bending discovery. How will it end? You’ll have to tune in for season six this fall. In the meantime, enjoy the generous extra features, including documentaries, bloopers, spoofs, deleted scenes and an in-depth, on-location tour of the show’s Hawaii set. Here With Me, by Holly Williams (CD) The legacy of the great Hank Williams continues through the music of his granddaughter, 28, whose second album marks her full bloom as both a writer and performer. Country without a hint of corn, it’s a solid mix of soulful confessions, sensual daydreams, personal reflections and raw self-portraits that reveal a young songbird spreading her wings and finding her own flight path. Highlights include

the autobiographical “Mama,” which provides an intriguing glimpse into her mother Becky’s brief marriage to Hank Jr., the intoxicating “Three Days in Bed” and “Keep the Change,” a jaunty anthem to letting go and moving on. America at War (DVD) Military buffs will salute this exhaustive 30-hour, 14-DVD mega-set of History Channel documentaries about American involvement on battlefields from Boston to Baghdad. Historians, military experts, veterans and war correspondents add their voices to rare film footage and archival photos, providing insight and new angles on key moments of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World Wars I and II, as well as the conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and Iraq. Though the technology of warfare has changed, from bayonets to “smart bombs,” one thing hasn’t: our country’s readiness to take up arms when duty calls.

County gets funds for emergency programs Submitted by Lynne Robey Meade Co. Commun. Action

Meade County has been awarded federal funds under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program. Meade County has been chosen to receive $6,793 to supplement emergency food and temporary lodging programs in the area. The selection was made by a national board that is chaired by the U.S Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency State Set-Aside Committee. This board consists of representatives from the Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Council of Jewish Federations, Catholic Charities, USA and United Way of America, which will provide the administrative staff and function as fiscal agent. The local board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas. A local board of representatives from the county judge/executive’s office, the Ministerial Association, the American Red Cross, low income groups and other interested parties will determine how the funds will be distributed between the

Teetering From page A1 Authority (KIA) for $650,000 for the port’s sanitary sewer extension. “The project includes construction of 8 inch diameter gravity sewers, two proposed duplex submersible lift stations and 6 inch HDPE (high-density polyethylene) sanitary sewer force mains,” Flint said. The proposal states that each lift station “will collect sanitary sewer from the proposed riverport development and pump through independent force mains to … the existing City of Brandenburg Wastewater Treatment Plant.” The project will include 2,400 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE sewer force mains, 1,400 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer lines, several roadways, and two submersible sanitary sewer lift stations. The port’s sewer system is designed to accommodate 3,500 gallons of waste per day. Flint said that because the authority will own and operate the sewer lines, KIA requested sewer rates to go along with the proposal. “I recommended in discussions with them that we would just review Brandenburg’s sewer rates and just use their same rate structure,” he said. Flint told authority members he would send a letter to Brandenburg City Council, asking for a letter of support from them for the sewer project to send to KIA. He also suggested the riverport authority approach Meade County Fiscal Court for financial support. Flint calculated numbers on the $650,000 grant, which is 47.5 percent loan. The authority will make an estimated payment of $10,500 biannually, which includes principal and interest. In a letter he drafted to present to fiscal court, Flint states that the loan amount of $650,000 has an interest rate of 3 percent for a term of 20 years, and a requirement to receive the grant is to begin construction on the project no later than Feb. 1, 2010. Riverport Authority Chairman Joe Wright asked Flint to attend Tuesday’s fiscal court meeting, and Flint said either himself or secretary/treasurer Edd Pike would be there. When riverport came to discussion at Tuesday’s fis-

emergency food and temporary lodging programs operated by local service organizations. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds. Under the terms of the grant, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: be private voluntary nonprofits or units of government; be eligible to receive federal funds; have an accounting system; practice nondiscrimination; have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and; if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply. Meade County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with Central Kentucky Community Action Council, Inc. Public or private voluntary organizations interested in applying must contact Meade County Community Action for any application. Applications will be reviewed at the local board meeting scheduled for Friday, July 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the Meade County Community Action Office at 496 E. Broadway in Brandenburg. For more information, contact Gina Moorman at 270-422-2545. cal court meeting, Flint was not in attendance, though Deanna Sandefur, a representative from the same consulting firm, was, as well as all riverport authority members and Bryan Flynn, a sewer project engineer. Flynn reiterated the details of the $650,000 KIA proposal to fiscal court, saying the application was complete except for the letter of support from the city of Brandenburg. Flynn said construction of the sewer project is required to begin before Feb. 10, 2010 by law, though KIA recommended construction begin by October or November so the money — should it not be put to use in Meade County — can go toward funding other projects around the state. Magistrate Tony Staples motioned to table the decision to support the proposal until next month, saying he had only just recently received plans and information about the sewer project. Other magistrates voiced the same sentiment, though Sandefur cautioned that if too much time was spent, the riverport could risk losing its $650,000 for the project. “I think it’ll hurt the project,” she said about tabling the decision for a month. “If you waver now ... there’s no telling what will happen.” Sandefur said if the county expects businesses to contract with the riverport, it needs to be able to show physical progress. Flynn said $4 million in similar stimulus grants have already been returned to the KIA because other entities were unable to use their grant money in a timely manner. Meade County Judge/ Executive Harry Craycroft said his apprehension was the sewer system and lift stations would be constructed, and another several years would pass before the rest of the riverport was completed. He also said the city of Brandenburg’s sewer plant — which the riverport sewer system plans to dump into — can only handle domestic waste, not industrial. “The opportunity is great, but I do have concerns,” Craycroft said. “There’s just some work that needs done, in my mind, before I can, with all good conscience, sit here and say I’m going to commit the taxpayers’ money to this for 20 years.” Staples withdrew his motion to table the topic for a month, and instead asked to review the information for

Old flames rekindled at annual Weldon Classic Car Show By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com Weldon Classic Car Club, Inc. held its 4th annual open car show Saturday at Meade-Olin Park. Tim Bennett, a club member and a car show coordinator, said this year’s registration numbers were down compared to last year, but he still dubbed the event a success. “Last year we had 123 registered cars,” he said. “This year we only had 51, but we have a wide variety of cars, trucks, motorcycles and we even have a semi registered.” The club had 45 sponsors, as well as two food vendors and its newest addition — a flea market. “We just let people come in and they pay a $25 set up fee to put all their stuff out on tables to sell,” said Christy Sadler, Bennett’s daughter and treasurer of the club. “So far it seems to be a hit.” All vehicles paid a $20 registration fee and monies acquired are put back in the club’s funds to be able to continue its annual event held in July. The open car show played host to one-of-a-kind classic foreign cars,

at least 10 days. Fiscal court tentatively set a date of July 27 to convene again to discuss the sewer project, with members of Brandenburg City Council, the riverport authority and its engineers in attendance. Magistrate Mark Hubbard said fiscal court should look at the proposed $650,000 payment plan not as an expense, but an investment. “It’s fiscal court’s responsibility to support the riverport,” he said. “I know it’s a lot of money, but it’s an investment to Meade County ... but I want the plan to be correct.” In other fiscal court news: •Magistrates unanimously accepted a recommendation from the Industrial Development Authority to give five to seven acres of land to the Kentucky Department of Transportation. The land is for the right-of-way along the Hwy. 933 corridor construction project, funded by the transportation department. Magistrates agreed with IDA chairman David Pace that the benefits of the Hwy. 933 expansion far outweigh the sale of those few acres. •Meade County Assistant Attorney Greta Noe administered the second readings of Ordinance No. 2009-03 regarding commercial recycle collection points, and Ordinance No. 2009-04 regarding manufactured housing. •Hubbard made a motion, and Herbie Chism a second, that county attorney Margaret Matney begin actively pursuing delinquent road district accounts. The motion was unanimously supported. •Hubbard motioned for fiscal court to hold a work session the last week in July to continue drafting a countywide nuisance ordinance. Goddard seconded the motion — which was unanimously voted — saying fiscal court has dropped the ball on creating the ordinance because it’s been almost a year since fiscal court first began working on drafting the nuisance ordinance. •Meade County Recycle Center director Mark Gossett reported the center received a $21,124 state recycling grant, and that the state’s tire amnesty day for Meade County is scheduled for this fall. A recycle center truck broke down, and though Gossett had budgeted money to replace it, he didn’t anticipate having to use that money a month into the new fiscal year.

BUSINESS Hammond carries on mother’s dream with successful business

The News Standard - A11

Friday, July 17, 2009

By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com

At the ripe age of five, Lori Hammond remembers watching her mother’s friends gather at her Payneville home, and her mother, Marie Staples, coloring, perming and cutting the hair of every head that came through the door. “I remember helping her out and rolling a lot of hair,” Hammond said. “It was just something I always knew I wanted to do.” Staples dreamed of becoming a beautician, but ended up styling hair as a hobby. She passed away nearly a year ago though Hammond continues her mother’s dream today — a dream she began pursuing at the age of 18. After graduating from Meade County High School in 1984, Hammond enrolled in the School of Hair Design, which, at the time, was located in Radcliff, Ky. By ’85, Hammond received her cosmetology license and has since traveled as far as Lexington cutting hair and gaining the experience and clientele she needed to begin a solo career. Nearly two years ago, Hammond stumbled upon a local shop for rent. The owner of “The Cedar House Salon” had recently retired and decided to lease the

Hammond liked its location and decided to dive in. “It just kind of happened,” Hammond said about starting her own business. “This place was open and I had decided I wanted to go out on my own, so I grabbed it.” Hammond is now the owner of Lori’s Hair Salon, located at 1317 Old State Road in Brandenburg, in between the Food Court and Meade County High School. The beauty shop offers $18 hair cut packages that include a shampoo and condition, facial waxing, coloring starting at $40 and hair extensions and highlights for as low as $50.

“I’ve worked in Louisville, Lexington and here in Brandenburg,” Hammond said. “I’ve even had booth rentals, but most of my clients have stuck with me.” Such as Meade County resident Catherine Chism. “I’ve been coming to Lori to get my hair done for several years,” Chism said. “I just love the way she does my hair. We’ve become good friends over the years and she’s a good person. I really enjoy talking with her when I’m here.” Hammond, a single mother of 17-year-old Nicholas, says between her business and her son she stays busy but she loves being able to

relate to her customers on a more personal level rather than a professional one. “(My clients) are just as much a part of my therapy as I am theirs,” she said. “I like being able to discuss life issues with my customers. I think it makes any customer feel more comfortable when I can relate to them.” She said she enjoys doing hair, but “I really enjoy the people more. I like being able to visit with my regular customers, meet new people and make new friends.” The nearly 30-year-old shop hasn’t changed much over the years, but Hammond said she’s content with the shop and doesn’t

plan on making any changes to it anytime soon. Along with spacious parking, the building is also handicap accessible. It’s hard not to feel anything but welcomed when a customer walks through the front door at Lori’s where she greets and treats each customer like he or she is right at home. Hammond specialize in all hair types meaning men, women and children of all ages are welcome. The entrepreneur currently runs the shop unaccompanied, but is looking for a full- or part-time employee to assist her. She said the potential employee will

be required to work some evenings and Saturdays. Lori’s Salon is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and hours may vary.

Don’t toss those credit-card leaflets BY David Uffington Dollars and Sense

Credit-card companies are scrambling fast and furious to get every dollar they can before new credit regulations take effect. If you get a leaflet in your next credit card statement, read it. That information — which is required to be sent to you — is to let you know what is changing on your credit-card terms. Sit down with a red pen, read every word and underline the important parts. Changes described in those leaflets include: •Less time to make your payment. The number of days to make your payment could be reduced, so be sure mail it at least seven days before it’s due. (The new regulation will require that statements be mailed to consumers at

least 21 days in advance.) •How your payment will be allocated. If you have both cash advance and purchases on your card, beware any notification saying that the one with the lower interest rate will be credited first — while the higher interestrate balance keeps accruing. New regulations will require that money be applied to the higher interest-rate balance first. •Your interest rate could go up. Not only are rates going up on new purchases, but on your existing balances as well. The new regulation will ban credit-card companies from changing your rate on existing balances unless you’ve been late with payments. Also, they won’t be able to tack new fees onto existing balances. •If you have a new card and are counting on intro-

ductory rates, your rate could change before you get to the end of the introductory period. New regulations will ban this practice and require promotional rates to remain in effect for six months. The Credit Cardholders’ Bill of Rights Act of 2009 won’t take effect for one year after becoming law. That’s a long, long time for the credit-card industry to play fast and loose. Lenders do, however, have to keep sending those leaflets when they intend to make changes. That’s going to be your only warning of changes to your account. So, keep your red pen handy. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. E-mail him at columnreply@gmail.com.

AGRICULTURE Richardson named state star farmer, FFA earns Gold Standard A12 - The News Standard

Friday, July 17, 2009

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

To say the Meade County FFA has had a successful year would be a mammoth understatement. The organization has always upheld a prestigious reputation, one that has earned positive recognition on local and state levels year in and year out. Though the Meade County FFA held a slew of community events and projects throughout this past school year, the group went out with a bang at the State FFA Convention held June 9-11 in Lexington. Senior Alex Richardson was named State Star Farmer — an honor not boasted by the Meade County FFA since 1972. Senior Callie Hobbs was named a state officer, the local organization as a whole was named a Gold Standard Chapter and National Chapter Award finalist, and seven Meade County FFA members won first place on their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects. Richardson, a senior and four-year veteran of the FFA, said butterflies were in his stomach all week long. “They announced the State Star Farmer on the last day of the convention,” he said. “I felt confident, but still nervous. I knew I wasn’t a shoe-in.” After an elaborate series of interviews by state convention representatives, Richardson said his nerves only got worse. “The questions they asked were really specific,” he said. “The whole point of the in-

ABOVE: Callie Hobbs was named a state officer. terviews is to make sure that I was the one doing the project, the questions have to be specific. They want to know it’s not just my dad’s farm and I didn’t really know what was going on.” Richardson was one of 11 FFA members statewide in the running for the State Star Farmer award. His agricultural project is a hefty operation; he has over 300 acres of row crops, 100 acres of straw, 60 acres of hay and 50 beef cattle. Richardson’s father, Homer Lee, won the State Star Farmer award in 1971. Meade County resident Tommy Hardesty won it the following year, and he was the last to do so from Meade County until Alex’s 2009 win. He plans to run for the highest level of FFA excellence — National Star Farmer, an accomplishment

earned by Meade County farmer Nicholas Hardesty in 2007. “From this point I need to keep expanding my operation and keeping good records and in 2011 I’ll apply for the American Star Farmer,” he said. Callie Hobbs, also a 2009 graduate and four-year FFA member, was named Lincoln Trail State Vice President. “Callie is just an oustanding person,” said FFA advisor and ag teacher Jeremy Hall. “She’s the first from Meade County to be a state officer since 1982.” Hall said he’s incredibly happy with the individual accomplishments made by FFA members at the state convention, though he’s equally — if not more — proud of the awards the group won as a whole. The Gold Standard Chap-

ter award the Meade County FFA received is for its service and projects completed throughout the school year. Activities performed by the entire organization, which is more than 150 Meade County students, also put it in the running to be a National

Chapter Award finalist. Additionally Richardson and Jeremy Mattingly each had two first place wins on their SAE proficiencies, and Lydia Richardson, Ashley Carter and Katie Webb each had one. “It was just a tremendous

year ... the best of my career,” Hall said. “It’s almost like, ‘how do we beat this year next year?’ But the group we have starting up this year has set lofty goals for themselves. They know they have big shoes to fill, and they’re ready to do that.”

Hundreds of Midway square bales bound for Georgia

Local residents Kevin Compton, standing on the ground, and Stephen Smith, kneeling on top, help Lee Gibbs, of Georgia, strap down the 632 hay bales bound for Georgia.

For more than two hours Friday morning, 632 square bales of hay were loaded onto a semi-truck at Joe Barger’s farm in Midway. Barger sold the bales to local resident Martin Powers, who in turn sold them to a Georgia farm nearly eight hours away. “That’s a lot of hay to haul,” Barger said. He said hay yields this year have been enormously better compared to the last two summers.

Softballers flock to Meade for Blue Chip Camp By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com A week before the masses swarm the area for the annual Meade County Fair, there was a massive migration to Meade County for one of the best softball camps the area has to offer. The 13th annual Blue Chip Fastpitch Softball Camp was held at MeadeOlin Park for the second year in a row. “It’s almost like the field

of dreams out here for me,” said camp director Vernon Bibb. “You make it fun and helpful, they will come.” Indeed, they will come. Over 190 high school softball players from around the state and even a player traveled from Chicago to participate in the highly coveted camp, which started on Sunday and concluded on Wednesday. The camp offered more than 18 college instructors from around the country

from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia, Texas, Michigan and South Carolina. Day-campers paid $190 and overnightcampers paid $325. But the camp didn’t always take place in Meade County. Bibb first started in Louisville where he spun-off a softball camp from a fivestar baseball camp. After a 21-year career as a fastpitch player — where Bibb said he

Nine races may seem like an eternity for some, but time is growing short if Dale Earnhardt Jr., the most popular driver in NASCAR, is to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. With the aforementioned nine races remaining in the regular season, Earnhardt trails 12th-place Juan Montoya by 285 points. He trails point leader Tony Stewart by 760, but Stewart’s point total (2,524) is almost irrelevant to Earnhardt’s situation. Earnhardt, 34, finished 13th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, improving his point position from 20th to 19th but losing eight points in the span between him and 12th place. The crew-chief change at Hendrick Motorsports — Lance McGrew has replaced Tony Eury Jr. with Earnhardt’s No. 88 Chevy — has thus far yielded no notable results. It may take time, but now it’s time Earnhardt doesn’t have. He said he’s doing the best he can, hoping a few breaks and improved performance can fuel a comeback. “You show up every week thinking you can win and hoping you can win,” he said recently. Earnhardt’s troubles are a mystery. He is a two-time champion of what is now the Nationwide Series. He won two or more races in each of his first five seasons, winning six in 2004 alone and finishing third in the 2003 point standings. After winning once in 2005 and 2006 and going winless in ‘07, Earnhardt moved from the family team, then known as Dale Earnhardt Inc., and replaced Kyle Busch at Hendrick Motorsports in 2008. He won once and made the Chase but finished last (12th). Earnhardt’s fortunes have sagged noticeably since the advent of generic cars, which were fully implemented in 2008. “We’re leaning on our teammates a lot, and if

Local golfer’s determination honored by peers By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com At first impression it’s hard to believe that professional golfer and member of the Duramed Futures Tour, Katie Fraley, has overcome so much.

Fraley said. “It’s a great honor.” The award is given every year to a player who exemplifies dedication, courage, perseverance, love of the game and spirit toward achieving goals as a professional golfer. Fraley was voted by her golfing peers.

Soapbox Derby is no joke By Mark Vasto A Sporting View

When you think of Akron, Ohio — and I know you do — you think of it as being the rubber capital of the world or the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous. But on July 25, Akron becomes the home of the self-proclaimed “greatest amateur racing event in the world” — the All-American Soapbox Derby. Derby Downs is the place for the race, and has been (with the exception of World War II) held there since 1935, a year after former newsman turned opportunist Myron Scott developed the concept. Covering a local soapbox derby event in Dayton, Scott saw the possibilities of an event on national scale and copyrighted the idea for a tournament based on set rules and uniform parameters. After the inaugural race took place in Dayton, Scott moved the event to Akron due to its hilly terrain (more Akron trivia: Akron means “summit” in Greek). Akron embraced the event, and has run the race ever since. Derby Downs has modern-day significance, too: The racetrack — three lanes of asphalt that (as you can probably imagine) runs downhill for 989 feet at a 48 feet elevation — was built through the efforts of the Works Progress Administration, which was the “stimulus package” of its day. So take note, would-be entrepreneurs, maybe you can take some of the taxpayer’s money and make the Pinewood Derby into an inter-

national extravaganza. Think big ... it’s not like it’s your money. If you think I’m making fun, I’m not. The event is a serious one and has the backing of NASCAR: Driver Jimmy Johnson is the celebrity spokesman for the All American Soapbox Derby Association. The event used to be witnessed by more than 70,000 fans per year. It was even televised in its earlier days on NBC. It’s not easy getting to Akron, despite its central location. To compete in the Derby, racers must win their regional contests, and they must purchase their soap-box cars from the All American Soap Box Derby Association. Depending on the stock level (stock, super stock and masters), official soap-box derby racer kits cost between $450 to $650 to start. And there’s a pedigree, a standard to live up to: Several Indy racers have won at Akron, but so have folks like Johnny Carson. Presidents Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, celebrities like Tom Hanks and racers such as Dale Earnhardt and Tony Stewart have also made the trip to Derby Downs. This summer, more than 500 people representing 43 states and three foreign countries will be in Akron. If you don’t have any plans this summer, why not lather up and point the ol’ Airstream towards Ohio for some clean, all-American fun?

Honored From page B1 was one of most frightening things a parent has to go through. “It’s really hard to explain how scary it is as a parent to see your baby sick,” Scott Fraley said. “But it’s something you just pray and hope for the best. It was hard on all of us, but we’re lucky everything worked out for the best.” After all of her complications as a baby, Fraley wasn’t cleared of health problems. She was diagnosed with cancer when she was 10 years old. Fraley does remember the cancer. “I remember like it was yesterday,” she said. “At the time I didn’t understand it at all. I was always sick and I even joked that the hospital was my second home.” She went to the doctor complaining of pain in her right knee and her doctor diagnosed it as ligament problems. Luckily, Fraley and her family went in for a second opinion where the doctor found B-cell Lymphoma. “The doctor saw a big hole in my knee,” Fraley said. “It had taken over 65 percent of my knee and he said if I fell on my knee it would be completely shattered.” Fraley endured three months of chemotherapy and four surgeries to treat

the cancer. For two years she was unable to play the game she loved and was forced to use crutches “It seemed like I was on the crutches forever,” she said. “I remember standing on my left leg and bouncing a golf ball off my sand wedge. That’s all I could do for two years.” With the cancer in remission by age 13, Fraley excelled as an amateur golfer. She won the 2003 Kentucky Junior Amateur Championship and the 2003 Kentucky Women’s Amateur champions and was named the 2003 KGAPGA, Inc. Junior Player of the Year. “I would be proud of her no matter what she’s done,” Fraley’s father said. “But to see her do what she loves and what she wants makes me very proud. This is not an easy sport; it’s not a sport you can just sit

around and do. You have to work at it and she works hard. Obviously, she has the strength and will do what she wants to do.” She is currently playing in the Duramed Futures Tour where she is competing at Stonehenge Golf Club in Crossville, Tenn., this weekend. This year she’s participated in three tournaments and has only made one cut. She’s earned more than $5,000 over her career and placed 25th last year for her best career finish. “I’m really hitting the ball well right now,” Fraley said. “I’m placing the ball well. This year has been good so far.” As far as her health, she’s never been better. “The cancer has been in remission for a long time,” she said. “I’m healthy and I’m playing the game I love. That’s all I can ask for.”

vision I schools such as Morehead University and Western Kentucky University to NAIA schools such as Georgetown and Cumberland universities attend the camp to help and survey the talent the area has to offer. “It’s huge for me,” said Georgetown University’s head coach Thomas Thorton, who has been a part of the camp for nine years. “For any NAIA or small division school to get out there and meet some kids is valuable. Half of my team is made up of kids I saw here at this camp. So this is big for me.” But the focus of the camp — even with the highly touted instructors — is still the game’s rudiments. “We teach the fundamentals here,” Thorton said. “We want to teach these kids the basics and it’s also important to listen. They may have 10 different coaches telling them essentially the same thing, but in a different way. That’s why it’s so important to listen.” Harreld felt the camp instills skills he tries to teach his players during the regular season. “They get to hear what we try to teach them from college coaches,” Harreld said. “It reaffirms what we want our girls to do.” The camp began at 8 a.m. where players received instructions from coaches and worked on drills. After lunch, the girls scrimmaged. When the camp concluded on Wednesday, players then had a chance to talk to coaches and potential school representatives after a long week of hard work. “We want the serious ballplayer here,” Bibb said. “These coaches not only want to instruct the players but we want to give the schools a little bit of recruiting here. It’s a showcase for the girls. Each girl isn’t necessarily on a team ,they are here to show what they can do individually.” The opportunity to put a foot in the door is priceless for some of the players who hope to play at the next level. Bibb says around 60 to 70 percent of the seniors will receive an offer to play college softball. “It might not be the place they want to go, but it’s an offer,” he said. “It’s a way to get their name out. I tell the younger ones ‘you may have a few years, but the earlier you get your name out there, the easier coaches will remember you.’” He also explained the “coaching fraternity” and how fast the word can spread, where one coach

From page B1 was a decent pitcher and a sharp shortstop — he also coached for Bellarmine University for six years and was inducted into the Kentucky Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame adding to a decorated resume. With his expertise as a pitching coach, he aided many Kentucky softball players in his five-star camp in Louisville. With the rising costs of hosting the camp, Bibb felt it was impossible to continue funding it seven years ago. He gathered up his 12 coaches and told them he couldn’t hold the camp anymore. “They all told me that I can’t let this die,” Bibb said. “I told them I couldn’t afford it anymore. The coaches said ‘you get it going and we’ll come for nothing.’ These are college coaches and they were willing to do this camp for free. That says a lot about how helpful this camp is.” So Bibb kept the camp going and the camp flourished from 48 participants to 109 during that year. With the rising success, last year Meade County high school softball head coach Mike Harreld proposed having the camp at Meade-Olin Park. “Coach Harreld got a hold of me and talked to the officials here,” Bibb said. “They asked me what I could do for the (Lady Waves). I said ‘I’ll get them in for free.” They replied ‘what days do you need?” In the past two years, 44 Lady Waves had the opportunity many softball players dream of getting top-notch experience for no cost. Additionally, the camp adds a stimulus package of its own to Meade County as participants used local stores, lodging and restaurants during the week. “When I had the camp up in Louisville you almost felt like people thought you were bugging them whenever you asked for help,” Bibb said. “But down here people are glad to see you. They help out in whatever way they can.” In true Meade County has shown its generosity from local businesses such as Doe Run Inn and Snappy Tomato Pizza. With the hospitality and wonderful facilities, Bibb has no reason to move the camp. “As long as they keep having us we’ll keep coming here,” he said. “We love it here.” Representatives of Di-

NEW ARRIVALS!

Strength determines severity of shoulder injuries Submitted by AOSSM KEYSTONE, Colo. — Athletic injuries can derail any player’s ability to compete, but for a baseball pitcher his shoulder strength and control is critical. A new study to be presented at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) Annual Meeting in Keystone, Colo., suggests that testing a pitcher’s shoulder strength through a series of exercises during the preseason may help create a focused strength training program to prevent serious injury during the season. “The ability to identify pitchers at risk for injury could be extremely valuable to a professional baseball organization. Our study examined

the predictive value of preseason strength measurements as they relate to in-season throwing injuries,” said Ian Byram MD, lead author and fourth year orthopaedic surgery resident at Vanderbilt Medical Center, of Nashville, Tenn. The study measured the preseason shoulder strength for all pitchers in a professional baseball organization over a five-year period (2001-2005). Over the course of the five-year period, 144 major and minor league baseball pitchers were analyzed using a specific protocol by a single athletic trainer. Prone internal rotation (IR), prone external rotation (PER), seated external rotation (SER) and supraspinatus (SS) strength were tested during spring training prior to each sea-

son. The players were then followed throughout the season for incidence of throwing related injury. The study illustrated a significant association between PER, SER and SS strength with throwing related injuries requiring surgery. There was also some evidence for an association between the ratio of PER/IR strength and the incidence of injury. “The shoulder and elbow are subjected to significant stresses during the pitching motion, placing them at risk for injury. By demonstrating an association between shoulder weakness and throwing related injuries, we hope that future injuries might be prevented by focusing strength training programs on those areas that are weakest,”said Byram.

This time, the theme of the day focused on dance and dance they did. The Wulfe Brothers, a band based in Louisville that tours schools in Kentucky and Southern Indiana, performed their “Let’s Dance!” show, encouraging attendants of every age to get up and dance. After the show, dancers from Dancetime Studio, a dance studio in Brandenburg, owned by Kim Myers, gave special performances. After the dancing, the youth were provided with craft activities.

Students compete at SkillsUSA nationals Submitted by Meade County SkillsUSA

On June 22, 10 students and two advisors from the Meade County Area Technology Center met a charter bus in Elizabethtown, Ky., bound for Kansas City, Mo., where they would compete in the 45th Annual SkillsUSA National Conference. Students included Romie Carman, Adam Hall, Stanley McFalda, Jake Miller, Kevin Nowland, Thomas Roach, Isaac Seelye, William Stallings, Brian Stout and Ethan Straney. Advisors attending were Faye Campbell and David M. McCoy. The Welding Fabrication Team of Adam Hall, Brian Stout and Ethan Straney competed against teams from all across the United

States and came back to Meade County with second place medals and many valuable prizes. They won a tuition scholarship from Tulsa Welding School valued at more than $3,000, a $150 certificate for Lincoln Electric merchandise from the Lincoln Electric Co. and the James F. Lincoln Foundation, an Irwin toolbag, an Irwin vise grip set, a Miller pocket knife and thermos cup, a Metabo grinder, and a Kobalt Auto-darkening welding helmet. Jake Miller competed in the Automotive Service Technology competition where there were 52 high school contestants. Jake finished in 17th place just 16.5 percentage points behind the first place contestant.

Jake received a very nice tool bag filled with useful tools for an automotive career valued at approximately $200. The Chapter Business Procedure team of Romie Carman, Stanley McFalda, Kevin Nowland, Thomas Roach, Isaac Seelye, and William Stallings placed fourth in the preliminary round of competition with a score of 84.75 percent. In addition to the competitive events, students and advisors enjoyed the Opening Ceremony, the Awards Ceremony, and visiting the TECHSPO (the largest trade show in trade and industrial education). They also traded pins with students from all fifty states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands and

succeeded in collecting the entire collection of pins available. They also got to go to Aaron’s Fun Center near Kansas City where they enjoyed go-karts, putt-putt golf, and bowling. Thursday night was the SkillsUSA night at nearby Worlds of Fun, an amusement park where they enjoyed the rides and a fun-filled evening. All in all, the trip allowed the students to showcase their talents, proving their competitiveness with students in technical education from all across the United States and its territories. The students achieved a high degree of success, and represented Meade County and the state of Kentucky with professionalism and pride.

Students pictured from left to right are, (back row) Romie Carman and Stanley McFalda (middle row) William Stallings, Thomas Roach and Kevin Nowland (third row) Isaac Seelye, Brian Stout, Jake Miller, Ethan Straney and Adam Hall and (front row) advisors David McCoy and Faye Campbell.

Last Week’s Solutions

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Is someone at work resisting that Aries charm? Hard to believe. But seriously, Lamb, you might want to back up your ideas with some solid data, and then watch the yeas pile on. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your hard work could pay off in ways you didn't expect, but certainly deserve. Tend to that pesky health problem now so you'll be in top shape to tackle the new projects coming up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Planning a family event can be stressful unless you make it clear from the start that you're in charge. You might accept suggestions, but it will be your decisions that count. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You still have a way to go to bring that professional matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Meanwhile, an important personal situation could require more of your attention by week's end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) There's something about you Fine Felines that makes people want to tell you secrets. But once again, be wary of who is doing the telling. You might not want to be that person's confidante. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Creating a fuss about a family matter might get everyone's attention. But it might be better to talk one-onone with family members in order to spare a loved one unnecessary embarrassment. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You're making progress on that career move, albeit not as quickly as you had hoped. But stay with it. Your personal life takes an unexpected (but very welcome) new turn. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) If you feel you've been unfairly treated in a workplace decision, correct the situation now while there's still time to do so. Arm yourself with facts, and go to it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Devising your own system of doing things might be the best way to handle an increasingly complex situation. But do it tactfully in order to avoid ruffling too many of your colleagues' feathers. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family member's health problem might once again require you to shift some of your current priorities around. But this time, make certain other relatives will be there to help. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Catching up on tasks you've left undone will take a while to accomplish. But the sooner you complete them, the sooner you'll be able to take on another time-sensitive project. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might feel swamped by all that you're expected to do. But take a moment to come up for air, then handle things one at a time, and you'll soon get through them all.

Tips on how to take advantage of shooting ranges Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department

FRANKFORT — When the weather is warm and most hunting seasons are still a month or more away, it’s a good time to visit the shooting range to sharpen your skills for the fall season. Besides honing your shooting skills, it’s also a good time to practice safe and responsible gun handling. This is even more important because you’ll be around other shooters instead of being in the woods by yourself. When you visit a range, always remember these safety rules: •Always point your gun in a safe direction. Keep the action open and the gun unloaded until you are ready to shoot. •Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. •Know your target and what is beyond it. •Do not hunt or shoot after drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Some prescription medications may cause drowsiness or other side effects; they should not be used prior to handling a gun. Major David Casey, assistant director of law enforcement for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and an

avid shooter for nearly 40 years, stresses safety. “Probably the safest thing that I can think of is to keep the action open on the weapon at all times until you’re in the shooting box,” he advised. “No matter what kind of action it is — whether it’s a bolt action, lever action, pump, hinge or automatic — if the action is open, the gun is safe.” Over the years, Casey developed a habit that he says twice kept him from a dangerous situation. “If someone hands me a gun, or if I pick up a gun that’s been put up for a while, I always open the action and check the barrel to make sure it’s clear,” he explained. Once, the barrel contained a plastic piece that had come off a choke tube wrench. Another time, there was mud in the barrel. In both instances, Casey could have been injured if the obstructions had been in the barrel when he shot. Casey also advises shooters to make sure that they load their gun with the correct ammunition, especially if they are shooting several different calibers or gauges of guns at the range. A mistake can be dangerous. These basic gun safety rules apply to all types of shooting ranges. But shooters should also learn and heed

the rules of their particular range type. “If you’re shooting sporting clays, stay on the path,” Casey said. “The range is designed so that the shotfall area is in a safe place. If you’re some place you’re not supposed to be, you could get hit by pellets. “At static-type rifle ranges, never go forward toward the target until everyone has their weapons safely secured,” Casey added. It’s a good idea to designate one person as the range officer. This person is responsible for calling to the other shooters when it’s time to cease firing. Also, the range officer checks each shooter and points out any safety violations. “A range is not a place for horseplay or alcohol,” Casey said. “Don’t be afraid to point out unsafe things to other people at the range. You might save their life — or yours.” Public shooting ranges are available at six Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in Kentucky: Curtis Gates Lloyd WMA in Grant County, Higginson-Henry WMA in Union County, John A. Kleber WMA in Owen County, Miller Welch-Central Kentucky WMA in Madison County, Peabody WMA in Ohio County and Taylorsville Lake WMA in Spencer County. These are tube-style rang-
