Building permit issuance an indicator of economic uptick By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com A national report released in June stated building permits were on the rise for the month of May — a first in several months — which is an indication, albeit a small one, that the economy may be on the verge of recovery, according to an article by the Associated Press. Tony Coletta, planning and zoning administrator for Meade County, said those sort of national trends can be and probably are an indication of

market trends on the local level. Coletta said there is always a “significant drop” in permits during the winter months, as those are not prime building periods. But he said in the last three or four months, he’s seen a “considerable increase” in permits, be it from housing starts due to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) at Fort Knox or the normal summer uptick. The numbers paint a more detailed picture of how the economy is mirrored in building permits. In 2000, 422 total permits were issued to residents in Meade County,

with only 88 of those being housing starts. But in 2001, the number of permits increased to 632, with 143 housing starts. Coletta pointed out this followed a national election and the trend of relatively high building permits issued carried through the next four year cycle, with 583 issued in 2002, 616 issued in 2003 and 564 in 2004. After the second election cycle, the numbers take a dip yearly. In 2005, 541 permits were issued, 475 in 2006, 444 in 2007 and a mere

Destiny Allen, 8, Nathan Howard, 9, and Randen Allen, 9, enjoy a late summer sunset as they fish the Ohio River Tuesday evening. According to the fall and winter forecast released Wednesday by local folklorist Dick Frymire, the Ohio River Valley will see its first killing frost in late October, four inches of snow on Christmas Day and its first robin on Feb. 26, 2010. Staff Report The News Standard For the 44th year in a row, folks living in and around the Ohio River Valley were treated this week to Dick Frymire’s highly-anticipated fall and winter forecast. The Irvington, Ky., native — who is a recognized folklorist and treeologist by the state government — released his prediction on Wednesday and it was quickly scooped up by newspapers and radio stations all across the tri-state area. Frymire uses an 80-year-old Japanese maple tree located outside his home and other creative techniques — such as studying sun

and moon dates, noting flora and fauna behavior and reviewing old weather records — to draft his weather forecast each year. Here is his 2009-10 forecast for the Ohio Valley and parts of Missouri (Dayton, Ohio to St. Louis and surrounding areas): Oct. 14 — Frost Oct. 20 — Killing Frost Nov. 15 — Flurries Nov. 27 — 1” snow Dec. 8 — 1” snow Dec. 17 — 2” snow Dec. 25 —4” snow Jan. 11 — 5” snow Jan. 12 — Coldest day of the year, 11°F

Jan. 14 — Sleet and hazardous driving Jan. 21 — 1” snow Jan. 31 — 1” snow Feb. 6 — 1” snow Feb. 17 — Sleet Feb. 26 — First robin at 10:39 a.m. EST Mar. 13 — 1” snow Mar. 26 — Will be 68°F Apr. 7 — Last snow The forecast is give or take two days, and Frymire cautions that if a heavy fog comes in before nightfall and lingers until 11 p.m. on any of the first 10 days of January, the winter will be worse than anticipated.

Emergency responders to remember 9/11 next week Submitted by Chief Larry Naser Meade County Fire District

On Friday, Sept. 11, local emergency responders from fire, EMS and police agencies will again hold a procession and ceremony to remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The ceremony, which has been held annually since the event, will focus on the emergency responders who lost their lives on this tragic day as well as the civilians they were attempting to rescue. As in years past, the program will begin with a silent procession starting at 6 p.m. that will start at Meade

City officials, library board consider using new property conjointly By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com The Meade County Public Library (MCPL) and Brandenburg City Council are now strongly considering combining parcels of land to create a campus-style library center and new city park. During a special meeting with the MCPL Board and Brandenburg City Council held Aug. 17 at the library annex, discussion was held with construction consultants on the possibility

of combining the city’s 3.7-acre parcel and the library’s recently purchased five acres — located across from the Meade County Cooperative Extension Office. The city’s land, donated by Brandenburg residents C.K. and Virginia Miller, will be turned into a park called Nickel Park. The land lies adjacent to the library’s land, which was purchased for the sole purpose of building a larger facility. At a prior city council meeting, mayor David Pace informed council members that

the library was interested in joining plans to create more parking spaces, longer walking trails and expanding the entire area overall. Pace explained that the second rendering layout shows the library placed in the center of the 8.7 acres, with most of the library’s parking on city land, which created more parking spaces. “The things we’re hoping to gain from it is the walking

A short ceremony is scheduled which will include remarks from Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft, Brandenburg Mayor David Pace, State Representative Jeff Greer, and representatives from local emergency services. Over the years, the significance of this date in his-

302 issued in 2008, the lowest number since 1999, when there were only 234 permits issued. Permits must be issued for several different types of housing construction and implementation, including housing starts and for mobile or modular homes, as well as additions, apartments, pools, signs and other things that would affect the property value. Coletta said the numbers indicate that mobile and modular home permits were most popular with Meade Countians until 2004, when the numbers switched and more people were applying for housing start permits than mobile or modular home permits. He said despite decreasing numbers overall, housing starts remained fairly

Truancy From page A1 opened the session by explaining why those family members were asked to be there. “What we’re here tonight to do is open the lines of communication,” said Jason Sutton, the school district’s director of student personnel. “If you’re here tonight it’s because we want to help ... and do whatever it takes to resolve some of these truancy issues.” Parents of Flaherty Elementary School students who had six or more unexcused absences last school year were issued a letter late last week requesting their attendance on Tuesday, because, Sutton said, truancy is a problem the district needs to address promptly and seriously. He said Meade County has 5,000 students in its school district and on average 519 are absent on any given day. Multiplying those absences by six — the number of class room hours in a school day — equals 3,114 hours of instruction time lost each day. In addition to the learning experience absent students lose, the school district also is thinned monetarily. The state pays $21.84 per student per day and when a student is absent, so are the funds. With 519 students absent on one day, $11,334.96 is lost that day, or $2,006,287 for the entire school year, Sutton said. “What we’re here for primarily, though, is those instruction hours,” Sutton said. “Yes, there is money associated ... but we can’t give your children the absolute best

equivalent until 2008, which would follow the national trend of a decrease due to economic strain. Richard Hyde, owner of Hyde Home Improvement, said he’s seen a decrease in the number of projects his company has been called to work on within the past few months, but that in early summer, business was booming. “We were exploding,” he said. “We had an incredible amount of work.” Hyde’s been in the remodel/repair business for a year, but he had experience working in home building prior to going out on his own and said he knows there are natural ebbs and flows to the amount of work a company such as his will see. He said, in fact, he’s confident the economy is turning around. Recently, he’s worked on two room additions, one of them being sizable, wherein the customers had to

borrow money to finance the project. “People can get money again,” he said. He said Hyde Home Improvement is operating under the assumption that work is going to keep coming in and, likely, will increase, based on an upward swing in the economy. “I believe that’s what’s happening,” he said. “Not only are we anticipating it, but we’re prepared for it.” Coletta said there are programs available to get people into their own homes and information is available at the office, located in the Meade County Courthouse, for those interested in a new home, including loans for residents in specifically for rural areas and populations of 20,000 or less, under which Meade County falls. For more information on these plans, contact Coletta at Meade County Planning and Zoning at 270-4224676.

education we can if they’re not in class, and that’s what’s important.” Flaherty Elementary School is the largest elementary school in the county, which is why, Sutton said, truancy is under the microscope there moreso than at other elementary schools. PrincipalAmanda Richardson, attendance clerk Tammy Compton, Whitney Ditto, a Family Resource Youth Services Centers coordinator for Flaherty, district-wide truancy officer Leslie Humphrey and District Judge Shan Embry comprised the community panel that answered questions about truancy. Ditto said some cause for truancy issues could be the lack of awareness parents have for resources that are available. For example, if a child is on the mend for more than two weeks, the district provides a home bound service through which an instructor will visit the student’s home for a few hours two or three times a week to help make up lost instruction time. “If it’s problems with getting your kid out of bed ... and getting them excited about coming to school, then, we have resources for that,” Ditto said. Sutton attested to an instance when a student wouldn’t wake up in the morning because he didn’t have an alarm clock, so, he purchased a clock for him and delivered it to his home. “There are other times where it’s a matter of transportation ... or instances where the parent is out the door for work at 5 a.m. and they have no idea their child isn’t coming to school,” Compton said. “We will go pick them up. We’ve done it

before. They aren’t too happy to see us when we get there, but ... we’ll really do whatever it takes.” Judge Embry said parents may not be aware that the state lowered its tolerance for unexcused absences four years ago from nine and 12 to three and six. Three unexcused absences make a student truant, six make him or her habitually truant and can result in the parent being charged with educational neglect, which can lead to court hearings. “These people aren’t kidding you when they tell you they want your child in school ... and they will go to your house and pick your child up if that’s what is needed to get them to school that day,” Embry said. Some parents who spoke during the meeting said they were unaware of the services available, and didn’t know what to do when their child was repeatedly sick. Others said communication about truancy and the district’s resources to abate the problem was utterly lacking. Sutton said that was the purpose of Tuesday’s meeting, to mend that communication gap. He said roughly five other parents had informed him prior to the meeting that they would be unable to attend due to work or prior engagements, though personnel would have to pursue contact with the other 30 family members who never responded. Parents with questions or concerns about truancy are encouraged to contact the truancy officer at their student’s respective school. Information about options available can further from there.

Letters to the Editor

Dear editor, The owner of the property and the people that propose to start a rock quarry in the Big Bend area keep saying how ugly the property is. I must agree the property is ugly. How did the property get so ugly? ...Please let me comment on a couple of things. (The landowner) gets up in front of the planning and zoning (P&Z) board and says he has a right to do with his terrible looking property. Well, one thing I agree with him on is he has a right to sell his property to whomever he pleases. The other thing I tend to agree with him on is that his property looks terrible. ...Most important, as far as I am concerned, the P&Z was created to stop people from doing whatever they please on their property. Just to mention a few, running raw sewage over the hill, building firetrap shacks to live in, having a bunch of old junk vehicles sitting around your property, and start a rock quarry.

Laura Saylor Editor’s Note What I love about the Viewpoints Page is that it welcomes insight, public commentary and points of view, as long as they don’t teeter on the brim of libel. What I hate about the Viewpoints Page is it’s used very seldom by our readers. That’s where our editorial board steps in. The purpose of any newspaper editorial is to draft an opinion, typically one regarding a relevant, local issue. We strive to objectively report the news — and only the news — each week in the news section, but the Viewpoints Page is reserved, solely, for the one thing everybody has: opinions. The goal of our editorials is to instigate debate — not to coax readers, officials or anyone else to join us on our soap box. We’re not asking you to accept our opinion, we’re asking you to read it, to consider it and to form your own. If you don’t agree with

tion he or she feels about an individual, group or action. Whether it’s taxes, county departments, a business owner or local official, residents come to us, seeking retribution by way of a news article. I wholeheartedly listen to them speak, though advise them that more often than not their concerns should be addressed elsewhere, to specific officials or boards; we’re not here to spread gossip about every wrongdoing around town. What we are here to do is to serve the community and to keep local government in check. I also encourage community members who voice pleasure and positivity about a local group or event to applaud those efforts in a letter to the editor. The comments made on the Viewpoints Page don’t always have to be negative; we have penned many editorials that have commended residents and officials for their displays of good judgment or goodwill. Our editorial board doesn’t produce editorials on a weekly basis, as it should, and as the majority of engaging newspapers do. Some weeks this is due

to time or space constraints, some weeks there’s just not a local issue that has struck a chord with the editorial board. The world would be a very boring place if we all nodded our heads and mundanely agreed with the folks around us. Progress, advancement, efficiency and success are all products of competing points of view that work to funnel results. Submit your thoughts in the form of letters to the editor. They may be submitted online at www. thenewsstandard.com or dropped off in person at our office anytime during normal business hours, with name and telephone number attached for verification. Our guidelines are that letters to the editor be 500 words or less and written coherently with a clear cut statement about a relevant issue. Libelous letters will not be published. And The News Standard will never, under any circumstance, publish a letter to the editor without printing the author’s name underneath it. To do otherwise would greatly damage credibility.

School choice would bring quality, accountability Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon For the first time in history, lawmakers and education officials in Frankfort indicate they are considering charter schools as an alternative for Kentucky students mired in failing schools — and that’s a lot of students. Bluegrass Institute research shows that the Jefferson County schools alone — the state’s largest district — enroll 23,818 students in schools that have failed to meet their annual “No Child Left Behind Act” goals for at least three years. A report by the institute indicates that among 34 “Tier 5” schools in Kentucky — the worst schools — 22 are in Jefferson County. These worst-performing schools have failed to meet their NCLB goals for at least six years. The institute estimates more than 10,000 students attend these schools throughout the state. In response, education officials offer nearly as many excuses as there are Tier 5

schools. Their favorite: “No Child” expects too much. Following release of the institute’s report, Bob Rodosky, Jefferson County’s director of Planning, Research and Accountability, blamed the “flawed” law with its unreasonable expectations. “No Child” isn’t perfect, but it does attempt to hold schools accountable. Besides, our education officials have offered nothing better. Can you really blame the law for causing 50 percent remediation rates among entering freshmen in Kentucky’s colleges and universities? When listening to their defensive statements, it sounds like those in charge of our public-education system want to convince taxpayers, parents and political leaders that you cannot create a viable way of holding public schools accountable for their performance. “Trust us,” they say in so many words. “We’re the experts. We know what’s best for your children.” That’s what the former Soviet Union wanted us to do, too. “Trust us,” said the Soviets. “We will keep our word.” But our president at the

time — Ronald Reagan — wasn’t buying it. A significant part of his leadership that helped end the Cold War and get America’s economy back on track, all at the same time was “trust but verify.” Do you trust your congressman? Fine, but open the checkbook to taxpayers anyhow. They deserve to know how their hardearned tax dollars are being spent. Trust those policymakers and bureaucrats in charge of our kids? Fine. But warm fuzzies aren’t enough — especially in light of previous promises by officials to fix things, which rarely happens, while using questionable data and logic to support their views of “progress.” If the bureaucrats don’t like “No Child,” fine. But understand, having no accountability plan is not acceptable. And hiding behind the act’s less-thanperfect system in hopes of maintaining the status quo is no longer tolerable. Surely, if we can develop credible, acceptable ways of determining whether sophisticated weapons treaties are being honored by communist enemies, then we can develop an effec-

tive accountability system to ensure that the public schools in Kentucky properly prepare our children for college and the future. How can we determine whether officials, politicians and teachers unions really have legitimate concerns about accountability or whether their primary interest involves protecting adults in the system at the expense of our students? Look at their response to the idea of providing parents a choice of where their children attend school. To determine which of the women was the mother of the baby, King Solomon threatened to cut the baby in half. The real mother was revealed by her willingness to acquiesce. She would rather give up the baby than see it harmed. Those who really care about our kids are willing to drop their worship of a system and fear of change and say: Let’s give parents a chance to choose.

Tell us why we’re wrong, lambaste us — please!

PERIODICAL POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION

There is an editorial piece in the Aug. 21 issue titled “Lack of progress with the nuisance ordinance is the biggest nuisance of all.” My first question-slash-comment is since when (and I already know the answer) does a media source have the right or desire to influence politics? Why can’t the media simply report the news? You are making an emotional appeal for fiscal court to pass a law that probably is not needed and definitely should not be enacted without very careful consideration. The editorial mentions two residents making an emotional appeal for the government to do something about their neighbors. Since when did the government take on that job? It is not the responsibility of the government to make my neighbor get along with me or vice versa. It is not the government’s function to make my neighbor mow their grass, or clean their yard or paint their house or de-claw their cat. The editorial also mentions “reinstating the nuisance ordinance” if the author is referring to the previous and now defunct Abandoned Property Ordinance then the author has seriously short memories of far in the wrong direction the government can travel. The previous ordinance took two people to court and basically found both of them guilty. Great move for us, right? Wrong. One owner was dead and the other was a 72 year lady living on her abandoned property. Huh, say that again “she was living on her abandoned property.” She was fined $17,500 (if my memory serves me) and ordered to clean up her abandoned property. Fortunately, she got a lawyer and found retribution. Now, there were a lot of nasty rumors floating around that the reason she was taken to court. One of them was that the “abandoned property” was at the intersection of two major highways, a very valuable piece of real estate. You draw your own conclusions. The other property was cleaned up at tax payer expense and now is seriously overgrown with weeds, trees, etc. Back to the editorial, the author mentions that this ordinance would make noncompliance acts citable. So with the asking for votes and the stroke of a pen any act could become citable. We just went through an official who was citing folks for their horses not being in an agricultural setting. What about a garden? If the law says that it takes five acres to have an agricultural setting, then can an individual with less than five acres grow a garden? What about a rock garden? Think about it. You may say that this is silly so you had better check the records. There may be a solution, not an easy solution, but enacting an “inane” law will not serve the people of Meade County, but it will certainly sweep in many directions.

FACT:

Staff Sergeant presents flag to local VFW post

The LST-325, a historic amphibious military vessel once used on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, slinked past Brandenbug around midnight on Sunday up the Ohio River on its way to Evansville, Ind. The 2,366 ton tank landing ship was constructed at Philadelphia Naval Yard and commissioned in 1943. It was used to feed battle-ready troops and tanks, as well as supplies and equipment, directly onto the shores of enemy territory. The LST-325 was utilized in the invasion of Sicily in 1943 and also played a crucial role in the storming of the beaches of Normandy in June of 1944, according to the Naval Historical Center. After being included into the National Defense Reserve Fleet in the 1960s it was transferred to Greece and served in the Hellenic Navy until the turn of the century. The LST-325 then made a 6,500 mile journey from Crete

The USS LST-325 is stranded at low tide during the Normandy Invasion on June 12, 1944. The vessel passed by Brandenburg late Sunday night on its way to Evansville, Ind. to Mobile, Ala. after it was acquired by The USS LST Ship Memorial Inc. The historic vessel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is now listed on the national register of historic places â&#x20AC;&#x201D; resides in Evansville, Ind., where it is open for tours. It spent several weeks visiting a host port in Jeffer-

sonville, Ind. as a tourist attraction before returning to Evansville last weekend. LST-325 office manager Gary Hisel said the ship was to pass by Brandenburg shortly after midnight on Sunday before re-opening to the public this week. For more information

The News Standard - A7

Children’s behavior may be accidental, not intentional James Dobson Focus on the Family Question: I need more help understanding how to interpret childish behavior. My problem is that I don’t know how to react when my son, Chris, annoys me. I’m sure there are many minor infractions that a parent should just ignore or overlook. At other times, immediate discipline is necessary. But I’m not sure I’ll react in the right way on the spur of the moment. DR DOBSON: Obviously, the first thing you have to do is determine Chris’ intent, his feelings, and his thoughts. Is there evidence that Chris is

challenging your authority? The more blatant his defiance, the more critical it is to respond with decisiveness. But if he has simply behaved immaturely, or perhaps he’s forgotten or made a mistake, you will want to be much more tolerant. It is a very important distinction. In the first instance, the child knows he was wrong and is waiting to see what his parent will do about it. In the second, he has simply blundered into a situation he didn’t plan. Let me be specific. Suppose Chris is acting silly in the living room and falls into a table, breaking some expensive china cups and other trinkets. Or maybe he loses his books on the way home from school. These are acts of childish irresponsibil-

ity and should be handled as such. Perhaps you will want to ignore what he did, or maybe you’ll require him to work to pay for whatever he lost — depending on his age and level of maturity. However, these accidents and miscalculations do not represent direct challenges to authority. Since they aren’t motivated by haughty defiance, they shouldn’t result in serious reprimands or punishment. On the other hand, when a child screams obscenities at his mother or stamps his foot and tells her to shut up, something very different is going on. He has moved into the realm of willful defiance. As the words imply, it is a deliberate act of disobedience that occurs when the child knows what his par-

ents want but he clenches his fists, digs in his heels and prepares for battle. It is a refusal to accept parental leadership, such as running when called, or disobeying and then perhaps lying about it. When this kind of nose-to-nose confrontation occurs between generations, parental leadership is on the line. It is not time for quiet discussions about the virtues of obedience. It is not the occasion for bribes or bargaining or promises. Nor is it wise to wait until Dad comes home from work to handle the misbehavior. You have drawn a line in the dirt, and Chris has tossed his cute little toe across it. Who is going to win? Who has the most courage? Who is in charge here? Those are the questions he is asking,

and it is vital that you answer them for him. If you equivocate at that moment, he will precipitate other battles designed to ask them again and again. That’s just the way a strong-willed child thinks. It is the ultimate paradox of childhood that youngsters want to be led but insist that their parents earn the right to lead them. In summary, when misbehavior occurs, your obligation is to look first at the issue of intent, and second, at the issue of respect. From your interpretation of these two attitudes, you should know instantly how to respond. QUESTION: Do you think a child should be required to say “thank you” and

Receive the truth about your need for Him Carey Kinsolving Kids talk about God “If you had a bad day and had a timeout, God would forgive you,” says Hayes, 6. Hayes, you’re thinking like me. You need a lot of grace forgiveness for life’s truth timeouts. In Jesus, we see the perfect balance of grace and truth. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). The word “dwelt” as in the Word or Jesus dwelling among us has a history in the Old Testament. The word can be translated “tabernacled.” Moses constructed the Ark of the Covenant and placed it in a tent so that God dwelt among his people as they wandered in the desert.

Pastor Emile Wolfaardt puts it this way: “A little more than 2,000 years ago God stepped onto our earth, pitched His tent and set up camp right in the middle of us all. That is what the word ‘dwelled’ can mean — to set a tent. In other words, the Word became flesh and pitched His tent among us. And when He did that it was the most profound revelation of God man would ever know on this earth.” Theologian J.C. Ryle eloquently writes of the grace and truth that came together in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ: “This constant undivided union of two perfect natures in Christ’s Person is exactly that which gives infinite value to His mediation, and qualifies Him to be the very Mediator that sinners need. Our Mediator is One who can sympathize with us, because He is very MAN. And yet, at the same time, He is One who can deal with the Father for

us on equal terms, because He is very GOD.” Ryle gives one of the best explanations ever placed in print of how grace and truth came together in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. You may want to read it again. When I think of grace, the words of the Lord Jesus on the cross come to mind: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do” (Luke 23:34). Truth demands justice, but forgiveness is grace in action. The truth behind the unjust trial and crucifixion of Jesus is that he could have snapped his fingers and annihilated his accusers. Jesus allowed himself to be falsely accused, unjustly whipped and brutally crucified as a common criminal. Why didn’t he resist? Grace. The truth is that our sins drove him to the cross. He took our sins on himself and bore the punishment that we deserve. Why? Truth demands justice, and justice demands punish-

ment for wrongdoing. What kind of world would this be if people were permitted to kill one another when they got angry? God is righteous in that he punishes sin, but he also loves us because he sent his son to take the punishment we deserve. Think about this: Jesus Christ left the glories of his dwelling place in heaven to suffer the humility of crucifixion so that he could prepare a heavenly dwelling place for us. Memorize this truth: John 1:14 quoted above. Ask this question: Have you received the truth about your need for a savior and God’s gracious provision in the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Overcome jealousy, anger with genuine joy Dan Newton Divine Guidance

Genesis 4:8 says, “Now Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.“ (NKJV) Fans of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers found their 2002 celebration of yet another championship tempered when the wellpublicized friction between superstars Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant sharply escalated. Despite their three

league championships together, the two players simply could not get along. Each colossal ego wanted to establish the Lakers as “his team,” and both men refused to back down. When the dust finally settled, what had looked like a long-term dynasty abruptly fell apart. The team traded away O’Neal to keep the team from falling apart. Take a bow, envy and jealousy. The Bible introduces us to the destructive power of envy in the person of Cain, who murdered his brother Abel. When God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and rejected Cain’s, the latter flew into a

murderous rage. Cain didn’t kill Abel on a whim. He let feelings of envy and jealousy build up until he had devised a scheme for taking the life of his brother, who had done him no wrong. Cain and his entire family paid a heavy price for his envy. Unfortunately, a little bit of Cain lives in every man. Think about the twinge of anger you feel when someone you believe is less qualified gets promoted ahead of you. What about the surge of jealousy that erupts when you hear a friend praise a business rival? That’s envy at work, and it needs to be

When the cup is gone, don’t give up Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight

As a man was driving down a hot and dry city street in a small town he spotted a sign that said “Kool-Aid, cold and refreshing.” At a small table sat a little boy and girl. He pulled over and got out of his car and asked the two children how much for a cup. “Twenty-five cents, sir,” said the little boy. The man handed him a dollar and took a long, cold drink

from the cup as he waited for his change. The little boy and girl fished through a box and found three quarters and handed them to the man. He took his change, swallowed the last of his drink and turned to walk away. “Excuse me, sir,” said the little boy, “Are you through with that cup?” “Yes I am, son. Why?” asked the man. The little boy replied, “Well, that’s the only cup we have and without that cup we’re out of business.” I know that story is funny, but when you stop to think,

1. Is the book of 2 Timothy in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. From Luke 6,

the church has the same way of thinking when it comes to ministers. It isn’t quite so humorous. Most churches believe that they have only one minister, the pastor. 2 Cor. 3:6 says, “God has made us able ministers of the New Testament.” The members of the church must realize that they too are a minister. If they rely only upon the pastor to be the minister and do the work of the church, it won’t be long before they are out of business. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

confronted, rejected and crucified. You can overcome envy, jealousy, anger and frustration that always follows by learning to be content with what God has given you and where he has placed you. Combat envy by consciously choosing to rejoice with others. Envy has no room to take root in the soil of genuine joy.

“please” around the house? DR. DOBSON: I sure do. Requiring these phrases is one method of reminding the child that this is not a “gimme-gimme” world. Even though his mother is cooking for him and buying for him and giving to him, he must assume a few attitudinal responsibilities in return. Appreciation must be taught, and this instructional process begins with fundamental politeness at home.

‘Basterds’ reimagines the end of WWII

Inglourious Basterds/Brad Pitt/Rated R Set during the 1940s in Nazi-occupied France, “Inglourious Basterds” reimagines what might have happened to end World War II, given a certain fantastical mix of fictitious characters on a collision course of coincidence and circumstance. But though the setting is a very real time and place, writer-director Quentin Tarantino isn’t really interested in history. He’s interested in movies. “Inglourious Basterds” is a movie so infused with movie references, it’s difficult to keep count. Characters discuss movies, movie dialogue, movie slang, movie characters and movie directors. A movie theater becomes crucial to the plot, along with its owner and projectionist. A daring espionage plan involves a British film critic, a German movie star and characters that impersonate Italian moviemakers. And a mountainous pile of reel-to-reel film — highly flammable, as you’ll learn — becomes a weapon of mass destruction. Tarantino, a professed film geek, has made a career

The movie’s doubly misspelled title is in itself a nod to the movies, paying off-kilter tribute to one of Tarantino’s favorite films: 1978’s “The Inglorious Bastards,” about a daring commando raid during World War II behind enemy lines

in France. Pitt’s character is fervent in his mission to eliminate the Nazis one by one, scalping his victims Apachestyle. But that’s only one of three separate plotlines, all of which eventually converge in the spectacular finale. German actor Christoph Waltz, who plays a scheming Nazi colonel whose evil is masked with snakeoil charm and a dazzling smile, steals practically every scene. But all the performances, like the rest of the movie, bear Tarantino’s unmistakable maestro’s stamp from start to finish. Neil Pond is the entertainment writer for American Profile.

Strait’s 38th album is packed with honky-tonk Twang, by George Strait (CD)

For his 38th album, the Academy of Country Music’s recently bestowed Artist of the Decade remains true to his time-tested formula of tuneful trad country, jaunty honkytonk and easyon-the-ears laments, all served up with a trademark twist of Texas trail dust. But look closer for some delightful surprises. Son Bubba (George Jr.) penned the gritty Old West ballad “Arkansas Dave,” Strait sounds like he’s having a blast with Delbert McClinton’s “Same Kind of Crazy,” and he closes things out with a south-of-the-border mariachi number — sung in Spanish! And he still makes it all sound so doggone easy. Ghostbusters (Blu-ray) The door to the underworld opens up (in New York, where else?) and all sorts of ectoplasmic hoodoo spills into—and onto—the Big Apple. Who you gonna call? Celebrate

the 25th anniversary of a comedy classic with this bonus-packed Blu-ray, which features commentary, deleted scenes, a makingof doc from 1984, a look at its special effects and interviews with cast members Bill Murray, Dan Akyroyd and Sigourney Weaver. Our Boys, by Joe Drape (Book) This chronicle of the high school football team in tiny Smith Center, Kan., is a rousing, feel-good tale of players, coaches and community that rallied together for a nail-biting 2008 championship season that seemed almost like the script for a Hollywood movie. If you’re weary of all the “bad news” making headlines these days, immerse yourself in this uplifting portrait of a small town and its people, all pulling together to continue an amazing four-year victory streak— and teach their “boys” what it means to be winners both on and off the field.

NEWS Acidity levels of food can help Deputies locate hundreds of determine best canning methods dollars worth of stolen items

The News Standard - A9

An upsurge of interest in locally-grown foods, food safety issues and tough economic times has led to resurgence in food preservation in the past few years. Canning is a great way to have fresh produce year round, but if it’s not done correctly, it could lead to the growth of bacteria or toxins in the food, which could cause botulism — a deadly foodborne illness. The acidity of a food determines the canning method you should use. Acidity occurs naturally in foods like fruits or may be added as in pickled foods. The addition of lemon juice, citric acid or vinegar increases a food’s acidity. The acidity of food is measured by its pH level. If the food has a pH of 4.6 or below, it’s considered a highacid food. Some examples of high-acid foods include fruit, pickles, sauerkraut, jams, jellies, barbecue sauce and salsa. You may can these foods in a boiling water bath. The acidity helps keep the botulism bacteria from growing. Foods with pH levels above 4.6 are considered low-acid foods. Examples of low-acid foods include red meats, seafood, poultry, milk and all fresh vegetables. You must preserve these items with a pressure canner to destroy the toxins that cause botulism. While high-acid foods contain enough acidity to block the growth of botulism bacteria when heated to 212 degrees Fahrenheit for the

designated amount of time on the recipe, foods with low acidity must be heated under pressure to reach a temperature of 240 degrees Fahrenheit or above for the appropriate amount of time. It’s difficult to get rid of botulism spores using only boiling water. When preserving a low-acid food, a pressure canner is needed to ensure toxins do not develop. To sterilize these foods, maintain a temperature of 240 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for the designated amount of time. To achieve this, make sure the gauge on your pressure canner is set between 10 to 15 pounds per square inch or follow the pressure recommended on your recipe. Processing lowacid foods in a boiling water bath or oven canning is not recommended. In addition to proper time and temperature, headspace, or the amount of space between the top of the jar and the food is very important. This allows the air to vent from the jar and a strong bond between the jar and the lid. Equally important is venting the pressure canner, a process of getting rid of the air in the canner before you build up pressure. For information about food preservation and other classes available, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-422-4958. Get out, get moving on Second Sunday Come join your neighbors in a day of fun, physical activity in your beautiful county during the Second Sunday event on Oct. 11. This is the second year for the statewide event that promotes physical activity for all ages and abilities. Coop-

erative Extension family and consumer sciences agents coordinated Second Sunday partnerships and petitioned their local government officials to close a portion of a county road for four hours during this day, opening the road for people to engage in all forms of fun activities. In 2008, more than 12,000 Kentuckians from more than 70 counties participated in the first Second Sunday. This year, attendance is projected to grow as nearly 100 counties are expected to close a section of road in order for their fellow Kentuckians to take advantage of a statewide day for physical activity and commit to making health lifestyle changes. Second Sunday provides a unique opportunity to show the nation that we are working to change some unfortunate statistics and improve our overall health. For many years, Kentucky has had one of the highest rates of obesity in the nation. In a new study released by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Kentucky has the seventh highest obesity rate in the nation at 29 percent and the fourth highest percentage of overweight youth at 37.1 percent. The past year has been an exciting one for Second Sunday with the initiative receiving resolutions from both the Kentucky House of Representatives and the Senate as well as from Governor Beshear. UK Healthcare has joined with the Cooperative Extension Service as a partner in this initiative. For more information contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-422-4958.

trails, the ravine area that could be utilized for a lot of people and I like the drawing of the roadway going in with pull-offs before people got to the library parking, which makes it more favorable for people to stop and utilize the park area,” he said. Meade County’s Pets In Need Society has also asked to be given an area of the city’s land to use as a dog park, which, according to Pace, the nonprofit organization said it would maintain and build with its own funds. “The dog park would be in a back corner for people to take their dogs back there, leashed, and let them run around,” Pace said. “Dog parks are very attractive nowadays,” said MCPL board member, Tony Black. “People don’t know they need one until they get one.” Council member Bruce Fackler, who was present at the meeting, informed construction consultants of a concern the Brandenburg Police Department expressed during a previous council meeting. “The police did ask something about how it was designed,” Fackler said. “In order to secure the back of the building, they would have to get out (of their vehicle) and walk around the building to see if someone is back there.” Kenny Stanfield, an architect with Sherman Carter Barnhart and a Meade County native, said the second rendering of the facility — which was displayed at the library’s fair booth during the Meade County Fair — does suggest a better route for patrolmen. “Actually the site that was on display at the fair moved the dumpster out and pushed the parking lot around, but we did address it,” Stanfield said. Stanfield said part of the building’s security would include motion-detected lights in the back of the building — the more vulnerable part of the facility. “So if the building’s dark, then there’s nothing there,

An interior image of the new Meade County Library shows a comfortable reading area, complete with several windows for natural lighting and a fireplace. but if the lights on, then there’s an intruder and the police know to investigate,” Stanfield said. Stanfield expressed his appreciation for the suggestion Fackler brought to the table and said the matter would be considered for future construction plans. “We want this (project) to be a community effort,” Stanfield said. “It’s important that these things be brought to the table.” Pace said he would like to see work on the walkways beginning soon to help familiarize the public with the park and the campus. “The stuff that you could do very easily … the parking areas, the driveways and the paths … you could start laying it out and knowing where your fields and cuts are going to be so we have a good site plan to work off of,” he said. Council member Maggie Love was also present at the meeting and wanted to know how the legalities of the joint properties would work if the facility would be partially located on the city’s land. “I think what we’ll end up having to do … is have an agreement with (the library) of turning it over to them for so much and … liability would be absorbed on their portion and we would still have liability covering us on our portion on all the access of trails,” Pace said. Chris Bischoff, a construction consultant with the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives, said he could supply examples of

lease agreements from similar situations for both parties. The agreement would essentially detail which party would maintain the grounds, how utilities and maintenance would be divvied up and whether or not the park would be open to the public 24-hours a day or if it would operate on the library’s daily hours. Council members and library members discussed asking the Millers if it would be acceptable to legally bind the grounds together. “I don’t think it would be a problem with them,” Pace said. “They said as long as we don’t give it away, but since we’re all linking the (library and Nickel Park) together … I think they’ll be fine with that, but we will get with them about it.” President of the library board, Sandra Stone, said she feels that joining the parcels will help create an even better picture of what she first imagined the project’s result to be: “a natural campus.” “It’s a natural evolution of this site,” Stanfield added. “It’s a unique opportunity.” City council plans to attend MCPL meetings in the future and vice versa. MCPL meetings are held every fourth Monday of the month at the library annex at 6 p.m. Brandenburg City Council meetings are held every first Monday of the month at Brandenburg City Hall at 7 p.m. For more information on the proposed library site or to view an architectural interpretation of the facility, visit www.meadereads.org.

Woman’s guests less confined than Dad’s Her eventful life is an open book, and Johnetta Kirby Dunaway Whalen has returned to her old Kentucky home to write the final chapters. “I’m here to entertain,” said the tall, spirited redhead and proprietor of Irvine’s first bed and breakfast, sitting down in the parlor of her stately home and playing a fast-paced tune on her piano. At age 71, the Estill, Ky., native, whose mother and grandmother were known for being avid squirrel hunters, admitted some people may think she’s a little nuts for starting a new business. But living life on the edge and taking on new challenges has been her hallmark ever since she was born in the back of the South Irvine Post Office. The two story frame home at 233 Main Street was occupied by the Bergman family when Johnetta was attending nearby Estill County High in the early to mid 1950s. She is calling her residence and place of business “The Bergman House” in honor of the former owners. It’s not the first time a member of her family has housed guests in Irvine. Her father, John “Brud” Kirby, was Estill County jailer in the 1960s and early 1970s, while her mother, Dixie, served as postmaster at South Irvine. Vivid memories of her high school years include being called a “sheep herder” by the city residents who attended nearby Irvine High. “We country kids called them ‘alley cats’ and ‘drug store cowboys,’” she said. She was seldom seen out of the presence of tall and handsome Elmer Dunaway. She recalled being at basketball games when the harddriving athlete was called for fouling early and often. “He was usually the sixth man and the coach brought him in when they needed some rough housing. I can still hear the referee now….’23 ELBOWING!’” she said, laughing. After seven years of dating,

the two were married for 28 years and had three sons and a daughter before divorcing. Steamy details of their life together in Cincinnati, Ohio, where Elmer was a very high profile police officer are detailed in her book “Under The Cowboy Hat.” “I told it like it was,” she said, of the book that was the best seller in Cincinnati for three weeks before being dethroned by “Angela’s Ashes.” Besides helping guide her family through some difficult times, including the sudden and shocking death of her eldest son, Kirby Lee, at age 40, she worked as a travel consultant, legal secretary, and a one-week stint as a beautician. After being single for 15 years, she met and married northern Kentucky native Mike Whalen, 59, a railroad conductor, former blacksmith and heavy equipment operator, and an avid gun collector. They have been married for five years and are working together to make their business venture a success.

Mayonnaise is made by creating an emulsion, in this case, oil and egg yolks, two ingredients that normally don’t combine. The key to making an emulsion is adding the oil in a slow, steady stream. The type of oil used in the emulsion changes the flavor of the mayonnaise. Do not use unrefined oils containing monoglycerides or extravirgin olive oil, as the flavor is too strong and the emulsion will separate. For the best results, use regular olive oil, or combine it with vegetable oil. Use this basic recipe for mayonnaise, and then add your favorite combination of herbs, ingredients and spices to create a spread that will add a special zip to your sandwiches. Basic Mayonnaise For best results, avoid making mayonnaise during wet or humid weather, as it will affect the emulsion and the mayonnaise will have a greasy texture. For a richer mayo, use only the egg yolks. 1 egg yolk 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup olive oil 3 teaspoons lemon juice or white-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons hot water Using a food processor or blender or a mixer set on medium speed, combine the egg yolk, salt, dry mustard and sugar until well-blended and a pale yellow. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oils (1/4 cup at a time) into the yolk mixture in a

slow, steady stream. Drizzle in one tablespoon of the lemon juice and a teaspoon of the hot water. Continue to alternate mixing in the oil and the lemon juice until all the ingredients have been combined. The finished mayonnaise will be thick. If a thinner consistency is desired, whisk in 1 or 2 teaspoons of hot water. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour before using to let the flavors blend. The mayonnaise will keep about 4 to 5 days. Yield: 1 1/4 cups. The following additions add a unique flavor to this basic mayonnaise recipe: •Spices: saffron, paprika, cumin, mustard, coriander, chilies, horseradish/wasabi, ground ginger, curry powder and nutmeg. •Herbal Flavors: dill, parsley, basil, oregano, sage, cilantro, chives, chervil. •Other Flavors: grated lemon or orange zest, chutney, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, anchovy paste, pureed avocado, roasted red peppers, lime juice, ground dried wild mushrooms, pesto sauce, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, pureed mango or crushed pineapple, soy or Worcestershire sauce, honey mustard, minced garlic, purple or green onions, olives, diced sweetor dill pickles. •Oil Substitutions: Infused olive oils, sweet almond oil, canola oil, safflower oil, avocado oil.

Canine Stylings offers some of the best doggone service around By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

Oftentimes, Frankie Basham is the only twolegged individual at his place of business. The Meade County native and entrepreneur is the owner and operator of Canine Stylings, a local shop where dogs of all shapes and sizes stop in for refreshing baths, fashionable coiffures and professional toenail trimmings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; overall beautification sessions. Canine Stylings is located at 520 Broadway, in the strip mall next to Fusion Tan, and has been serving customers and their four-legged family members for 11 years. Basham first learned the trade several years ago when he was asked out of the blue to help a family friend with her dog-styling side business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She taught me to groom and I just picked it up from there,â&#x20AC;? Basham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people learn (dog grooming) as an apprentice but there are schools out there that teach it. The important thing is that you know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and you know how to handle and work with dogs.â&#x20AC;? Basham was an auto body repair worker for

Five years ago he opened a second shop in Radcliff, Ky., at 165 West Vine St. Basham and his sole employee, Patricia Pandoff, take turns alternating between the locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stay busy year round,â&#x20AC;? Basham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, around Christmas time and some major holidays we can get backed up

... but a lot of dogs are in here on a regular basis.â&#x20AC;? Basham typically averages about 15 dogs a day, though when the schedule gets tight heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to accommodate up to 25 dogs in one work day. Customers tote their canines from as far as Louisville, Indiana, and Grayson, Breckinridge and Hardin counties to enjoy Bashamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full dog grooming services. After dogs are dropped

Barr attends the 60th International Auctioneers Conference and Show Submitted by Barr Realty

BRANDENBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Auctioneer Stephen Barr joined fellow auctioneers from across the world at the National Auctioneer Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NAA) 60th International Auctioneers Conference and show recently held at the Overland Park Convention Center in Overland Park, Kan. The NAA and its members celebrated six decades of service at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference. Highlights of

the conference included more than 40 educational seminars ranging from technology in the auction industry to growth in the real estate auction market. In 2008, the live auction industry sold $268.4 billion in good and services in the United States. The fastest growing sector of the auction industry in 2008 was agricultural machinery and equipment auctions. With more than $83 billion in gross sales, automobile auctions continue to lead

the industry. The auction industry is vast diverse with auctioneers specializing in a variety of markets, such as art/antiques, automobiles, machinery, real estate, personal property and charity. Barr is a full-time auctioneer and real estate broker with Barr Realty and Auction Co., Inc. The company specializes in marketing real estate and has offices in Brandenburg and Hardinsburg, Ky.

off for an appointment, they wait comfortably in crates until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their time on the table. Whether there for just a haircut or for a full-body groom, every dog receives top notch treatment, even those who may feel a little out of their element. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell as soon as the dog walks in the door whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been socialized as a young dog or not,â&#x20AC;? Basham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important for peo-

ple to socialize their dogs when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young ... because they get put into a social situation and can automatically become defensive.â&#x20AC;? Basham has endured his fair share of nips and fullblown dog chomps, though his dog training experience allows him to quickly and safely diffuse situations when a dog becomes nervous or agitated. Customers who are uncertain about what variety

of haircut theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like their canine to sport can discuss options with Basham. He said some stylings are more suitable for certain dogs, based on their bone structure, body shape and hair type. The easily recognizable cut donned by poodles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which features rounded tufts of fur around the chest and leg joints â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is derivative of the German hunting excursions for which poodles were historically noted. Basham said poodles, which were bred as water retrievers, received the outlandish styling as a result of hunters wanting to keep their poodlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chest organs and leg joints warm while keeping the rest of their body fur clipped down to the skin to not bog down the dogs in the frigid rivers and lakes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, of course, a style like that for a poodle wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look right on a beagle,â&#x20AC;? he said. For more information about services offered at Canine Stylings or to schedule an appointment, call the Brandenburg shop at 270-422-5959 or the Radcliff shop at 270-351-3647. Both locations open at 7 a.m. and are open every other Saturday.

All proceeds go to the Meade County New rule prohibits unwanted Clothes Closet commercial telemarketing calls BBB explains what to expect Submitted by the Better Business Bureau of Louisville LOUISVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beginning Sept. 1, 2009, â&#x20AC;&#x153;robocalls,â&#x20AC;? or prerecorded commercial telemarketing calls to consumers will be prohibited, unless the telemarketer gets a written approval from consumers who want to receive the calls. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently made the announcement. The new requirement is part of amendments to the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) that were announced a year ago. After Sept. 1, sellers and telemarketers who transmit prerecorded messages to consumers who have not agreed in writing to accept such messages will face penalties of up to $16,000 per call. The rules going into effect do not prohibit calls

that deliver purely â&#x20AC;&#x153;informationalâ&#x20AC;? recorded messages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those that notify recipients, for example, that their flight has been cancelled, an appliance they ordered will be delivered at a certain time, or that their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school opening is delayed. These calls are not covered by the TSR, as long as they do not attempt to interest consumers in the sale of any goods or services. The rules also do not apply to calls concerning collection of debts. Politicians, banks, telephone carriers, most charitable organizations, and certain healthcare messages are also not covered by the new rules. The new rule prohibits telemarketing robocalls to consumers whether or not they previously have done business with the seller. After Sept. 1, consumers who receive prerecorded telemarketing calls, but have not agreed to get them, should file a complaint with the FTC, either on the Web site, www.ftc.gov, or by calling 877-FTC-HELP.

Kids and goats go incognito for local goat show Young goat handlers from Meade and Breckinridge counties convened at the Meade County Fairgrounds on Saturday, where they sported costumes — and so did their goats. The goat show has been held annually for four years by the Breckinridge County Goat Producers Association, but the group has recently joined forces with the Meade County Goat Producers Association, both of which hosted Saturday’s event. Twenty-four youth participated in the goat show, which kicked off at noon. During the costume portion of the show, handlers took to center floor dressed in costumes that played along with the clothing donned by their goats. The Meade and Breckinridge County Goat Producers Associations will host a goat sale Sept. 19 at the Breckinridge County Fairgrounds. For more information contact Janet Dowell at 270-547-3438.

KFB breakfast nets $1.3 mil for charity Submitted by Kentucky Farm Bureau LOUISVILLE — Two veteran bidders joined forces to pay a record $1.3 million for the 2009 Kentucky State Fair grand champion ham at the Kentucky Farm Bureau 46th annual Kentucky Country Ham Breakfast. Steve Wilson, owner of Kentucky Bison Co. in Goshen, and Bernard Trager of Republic Bank & Trust Co. each bid $650,000 for the 15.6-pound ham produced by Scott Hams of Greenville. Winning bidders donate the money to the charities of their choice, and Trager said he agreed to Wilson’s suggestion that they share the ham for $1.3 million when bidding halted at $650,000. “It’s all for charity,” Wilson said in an interview after the Aug. 27th breakfast. “The more we can raise the better and we doubled our bid, so we got two for one.” Trager said he immediately accepted Wilson’s proposal that they each pay $650,000 for a share of the ham and decided to give it to Wilson. “It was a good idea. I wish it had been mine,” he said. The ham will go to the 21c Museum Hotel and Proof on Main restaurant in downtown Louisville owned by Wilson and his wife, Laura

Lee Brown, for another education fundraiser. Trager is donating his $650,000 share of the bid to Wayside Christian Mission, education and health care groups and to help Louisville residents dealing with the aftermath of flash flooding earlier in August. Wilson’s portion will go to a family foundation headed by his wife for distribution to tax-exempt charitable organizations, such as the Kentucky Bucks for Brains program at the state’s public colleges and universities and to endow a chair at the University of Louisville’s Cressman Center for the Visual Arts. Trager’s bank and Wilson and the Brown family each now have bought four Kentucky State Fair grand champion country hams. No goal is set for the traditional Kentucky Farm Bureau Country Ham Breakfast, which has raised millions of dollars over the years for a variety of educational and other philanthropic groups. “We try to generate as much money as possible but since 100 percent of the proceeds goes to charity, any amount we receive is beneficial,” said Jeff Harper, Kentucky Farm Bureau’s commodity director and ham breakfast event coordinator.

There just wasn’t enough time for the Meade County Greenwave soccer team on Tuesday. With only two minutes left in regulation, the Greenwave found themselves down by one and pushing for the equalizer to District 10 rival — the North Hardin Trojans. Instead, time ran out with the ball in senior defenseman Gabe Buttram’s hands as he was ready for an all-important throw-in. “I think if we had 15 more seconds we could have had a goal,” Buttram said. “I just wanted to throw it in and get us a corner kick or a good look at the goal.” Two minutes earlier, the Greenwave finally found some offensive production when junior forward Todd Johnston headed the ball toward forward Zack Brown who chipped the ball over North Hardin’s goalie from 15 yards out. “At the end (of the game) we started to find avenues to get opportunities,” said Greenwave head coach Matt Pollock. “It’s one of those situations where you just need a goal to get something happening. We finally got that goal. If it would have happened 10 minutes earlier I think we would have a better chance to tie it. You can’t wait that long.” The Trojans served a crushing blow to Meade County with only 55 seconds into the second half when senior forward Tony Blankenship slipped past the middle of the Greenwave’s defense and scored the eventual goal. “Definitely the speed is hard to defend,” said Buttram. “Tony Blankenship is just a great player.” North Hardin’s first goal came 15 minutes into the game. Senior goalie Jordan Compton dove for the ball but was unable to wrangle it into his arms. The ball

Cheerleading team lifts Big Green spirit By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com The 2009-10 Greenwave cheerleaders are young but talented. With seven juniors, a handful of underclassmen, and only one senior — Bethany Hooper — the team returns a core of cheerleaders that certainly know what they’re doing. Last year the team finished second in the KAPAS region and fourth at the nationals, but before the team heads into competition this winter, it gears up for the fall football season. “We get a chance to do a lot more stunting on the (football) field,” said junior flyer Sara Basham. “So we get to show

off our skills a lot more during the football season.” The team will travel to the remaining Greenwave football games and will also cheer during the upcoming basketball season. The team boasts over 50 cheers including some of the cheerleaders’ and fans’ traditional favorites. Basham’s favorite is “Greenwave in the house. Go Big Green,” while junior Kelli Warford’s favorite is a football cheer. “My favorite is T-O-U-CH-D-O-W-N,” She said. “I love football.” Warford’s favorite part of cheerleading, however, really doesn’t involve cheering at all. “I like the stunting part of cheer,” she said. “Because it shows how strong we are and

Cheer From page B1 how much we work instead of just cheering and going ‘rah, rah.’” Sometimes the cheerleaders feel they don’t get the respect for all the hard work they put into their sport. “It’s really hard work,” Basham said. “Nobody knows how hard cheerleading is until you actu-

ally participate in it.” This year the team will even incorporate more difficult stunts and cheers. During the summer they held a camp that welcomed a cheerleader from the world cheerleading team. “We learned a couple new cheers and some difficult stunts from her,” Basham said. “Those will be added to our team this year.” Basham and Warford both agreed the hard-

As a flyer, Basham depends greatly on her teammate, Warford, who is a back spot. “They throw me in the air and I turn in mid-air and the team catches me,” Basham explained. “I’m not nervous at all.

During Saturday’s pool play, the Madness beat the Vipers 10-5, and then battled against the Yard Dogs to lose, 4-3. The loss gave the Madness the No. 2 seed for Sunday’s tournament of five teams. On Sunday, the Madness first met up with the Explosion to come away with

a 7-2 victory. The Madness once again faced the Yard Dogs for the championship game. The game was 1-0 in favor of the Yard Dogs until the Madness came alive in the fourth inning to score four runs and go on to win 10-5.

Opener From page B1

“Backbreaker.” Add up all of those mistakes and Meade County had too many adversities to overcome. However, the Greenwave didn’t start out poorly. In the opening drive Meade County went 45 yards until senior fullback Tyler Crow fumbled the ball in the open field and Anderson County recovered. The Greenwave remained calm and two drives later senior linebacker Junior Mason intercepted Anderson County’s first pass of the game to put the offense on its own 24-yard line. He also led the team with eight tackles. “Junior Mason is a first year senior,” Mofield said. “I thought he had a good game. He had a great interception; we were able to convert on that.” After a long run by senior wingback Tommy Arnold, senior fullback Tyler Crow punched into the end zone from 5 yards out to score the first touchdown of the game with 4:55 left in the first quarter. Junior kicker Michael Clinkscales added the extra point to make the score 7-0. But Anderson County, led by all-state senior

quarterback Jacob Russell, drove the ball 77 yards for a 10-yard touchdown run by Ben Walker to knot the game, 7-7. During the ensuing kickoff Arnold returned the ball to the Bearcat’s 22yard line and three plays later Meade County scored when Crow dove into the end zone from 3 yards out only two minutes into the second quarter. Clinkscales added the extra point to put the Greenwave back up 14-7 and Crow ended the night with two touchdowns and 50 yards rushing on 11 carries. Again Meade County was unable to shake off the potent Anderson County offense when they drove 70 yards for another equalizing touchdown after 6-foot5, 220-pound Russell scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak. “He’s the best quarterback in the state,” Mofield said of Russell. “If there’s someone better I’d like to see him. I don’t know if I would want to play him but I’d like to see him. “The thing I like about (Russell) the most is he can throw the ball around the whole field but he can also run between the tackles.” Russell ended the night with a team-high 65 rushing yards and a touchdown, while going 18-32 through the air for 208 yards and

two passing touchdowns. He also played middle linebacker for the Bearcats. “He can hit for a quarterback, too,” said Arnold who plays on both sides of the ball for Meade County “He got me a few times. I was like ‘man, he hits hard.’ He was also tough to block. He’s a good player.” During Anderson County’s point after attempt, Meade County committed two penalties. The Bearcats took advantage of the penalties and scored the twopoint conversion only a half-yard out, which gave them a 15-14 lead. “That’s huge,” Mofield said. “People don’t realize that you’re put behind the eight ball a little bit when that score becomes odd. Something that you think could be small like two points is not. They made the right call. I would have done the same thing.” Meade County negated the Bearcats’ lengthy drive when junior Rex Liverman returned the following kickoff 79 yards to paydirt. After a successful point after, the Greenwave were back up 21-15, with 5:13 left in the half. “I was cramping up afterwards,” Liverman said of his kickoff return. “It was tiring. But it felt good to score a big touchdown for us. The second quarter, I was drained. I haven’t played in over a year. But I love it and it’s good to be back.” Liverman, who didn’t play football last year, had 217 all-purpose yards during the game and two touchdowns. Another Greenwave player who sat out last year, Arnold, returned to the field and ran well for the offense. “It felt amazing getting back onto the field,” Arnold said. He took some time to get his game legs back and put the ball on the ground three different times during the game. One of those fumbles included a costly one with a minute left in the first half, which put Anderson County on the 25-yard line. With the clock running out in the first half, Anderson County’s Dustin Combs scored his first of four touchdowns in the game to put the Bearcats back up 22-21. Combs scored the next two touchdowns in the third and the start of the fourth

quarter. Both touchdowns were passes from Russell. Arnold finally had some redemption when he scored on a 23-yard run touchdown with 8:55 left in the game to put Meade County within striking distance 28-36. “It brought me right back up after fumbling so many times,” Arnold said, who ended the night with a game-high 83 rushing yards on 10 carries. “It brought me back up but it also brought my team right back up too.” Four minutes later, Liverman scored off a swing pass from senior quarterback Tyler Mattingly and scampered into the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown. The score led to an all important two-point conversion play, but the Greenwave received an illegal formation penalty that put them back five yards. Mattingly’s pass fell incomplete and Anderson County clung onto a 36-34 lead with a little less then five minutes left on the clock. Combs came up big for the Bearcats again when he returned the proceeding kick off 97 yards. Mofield was surprised after seeing his special teams play so well during the game. “You take a night where we were darn good and make one mistake,” he said. “That’s the thing about special teams. You make one mistake and it’s six points for the other

team. We did a good job covering kicks all night and the thing was it was a great kick by (senior kicker Gabe) Buttram.” The kick return proved to be the final nail in the coffin as the Greenwave offense was unable to conjure up another scoring drive in the game. “I thought our kids played hard,” Mofield said. “I don’t think it was a lack of effort on our part.

Ragan receives modest success By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week

BRISTOL, Tenn. — A difficult season in the Sprint Cup Series has not been without its Nationwide Series highlights for young Roush Fenway Racing driver David Ragan. Ragan, 23, has only one top-10 finish this year in Cup, but he has claimed his first two Nationwide victories. He won at Talladega on April 23 and followed it up with a victory at Bristol in the Food City 250. The Unadilla, Ga., native is a second-generation driver. His father, Ken, competed in 50 Cup races in 1983-90, never running more than 10 in a single season. Ken Ragan’s best finish was an 11th at Talladega in 1984. David Ragan entered the current season with high expectations. In 2008, Ragan finished in the top five six times and finished 13th in the point standings. Before the season started, Ragan said: “We know that we’re capable of winning races; we’re capable of making the chase. We’ve got good race cars, and it’s all about me being a smart race-car driver, and not making mistakes and having a little bit of luck along the way. We know what we can do, and it’s just a matter of going out and doing it.” But Ragan and veteran

Loss From page B1 squirted out and found a North Hardin player wide open in front of the net. “Jordan did a good job coming in and clearing the ball, he just didn’t do it cleanly,” Pollock said. “The ball just ricocheted off onto the wrong team’s feet.” Compton ended the night with 12 saves. With the loss, Meade County is now 3-1-1 and 0-1 in the 10th District. They faced district juggernaut Elizabethtown last night. “That’s going to be a pretty daunting task,” Pollock said about the game against Elizabethtown. “Coming off just a day rest against a team that is top 10 in the state. They are playing well and a really solid team. We’ll have to play a good game and keep the ball on our feet. We have to finish because if we miss opportunities that are given to us it’s going to be very hard to beat E’town.” Check next week’s issue of The News Standard for a full recap of the game. Meade wins Greenwave invite The Greenwave won two games last weekend during the Greenwave Invitational. In the first game, Meade County was locked up with Bulter 1-1 at the end of regulation. Brown had the only goal for the Greenwave, while Compton had eight saves. In the overtime shootout all

David Ragan has won a couple of Nationwide races this season and even has a top-10 Cup finish, but he hasn’t let success go to his head. crew chief Jimmy Fennig have struggled. The season opened with a sixth-place finish in the Daytona 500, but Ragan hasn’t finished better than 12th in all the races since. Even though he has a ride in American motorsports’ most prestigious series, Ragan said he hasn’t let it affect his lifestyle. “I think I’ve lived a modest life my whole life,” he said, “and I think that I had good

Meade out-shoots Grayson County Grayson County’s goalie must have felt he was in front of a firing squad when he faced the Meade County Greenwave last Thursday. The Greenwave ripped off 32 shots in the 3-1 victory while Grayson County only had 13 shots. “It’s good to get a lot of shots, but it’s time to compete the whole package and get some goals off of these plays,” said Greenwave head coach Matt Pollock. “It’s just something else to work on.” Brown put Meade County on the board eight minutes into the game when he chipped in a cross pass from Raley. Brown scored a second goal with 5:32 left in the first half to extend the Greenwave lead, 2-0. Brown had nine of Meade County’s 19 first half shots. During the second half Meade County continued to spray shots all over the Grayson goal — tallying 13. “Our second half was better than our first half,” Pollock said. “But we had a lot of good looks on the goal and just couldn’t finish.” Nineteen minutes into

four shooters scored for the Greenwave — Brown, senior forward Charlie Backstrom, junior midfielder Cody and senior midfielder Logan Raley — to claim the win. In the second game Meade County dismantled Fairdale, 4-0. Brown, Backstrom, Johnston and Raley each had a goal in the game.

themselves down 5-2. “I think we were all a little nervous because we played Grayson and lost,” said senior middle hitter Bliss Powers. “We’re used to winning our district games and it was a surprise. So going into this game we didn’t know what to expect.” The Lady Waves came roaring back and tied the game up 6-6 and again at 1111. With the game knotted up sophomore Becca Miller served three straight points as the Lady Waves went on a 6-1 rally, which put them up for good, 17-12. Hancock County fought its way back to within four, 22-14, but the Lady Waves closed out the first set when Powers recorded a kill for the 25th point. In the second match, the Lady Waves came out roar-

ing and jumped out to a 6-1 lead where Powers served six straight points including two aces. But inconsistencies continued to plague Meade County when Hancock County scored seven straight points. “I think the key for our team is to keep the energy level up,” Powers said, who ended the night with seven kills, three aces and two digs. “The first game we’re kind of mopey and don’t play as well. The second game we come out and play really well. Usually the third game we’re mopey again. It’s all about energy and it’s amazing how energy can affect a volleyball game.” Despite Hancock County’s scoring streaks the Lady Waves went on to win thanks to sophomore middle hitter Scarlett Powers who had three of her four kills and a tip during Meade County’s last seven points. Senior setter Kelcie McCoy had 18 assists and 13

digs while senior Erin Sireno had 10 digs, two assists and one kill. Meade struggles at Marion County Meade County traveled to Marion County to compete in a weekend tournament. The Lady Waves went 2-1-1 but struggled during pool play. “It was a rough weekend,” Smith said. “We were probably the best team in the tournament but we still lost.” Meade County lost to tournament host Marion County, 25-19 and 25-14 during the playoff portion of the tourney. “Marion County was a good team,” Smith said. “We should have beaten them though. We were up on them and then we just kind of fell apart.” The Lady Waves were scheduled to play Breckinridge County yesterday, but the game has been postponed to Sept. 15 at Breckinridge County starting at 7:30 p.m.

Dealing with feeling like you don’t fit in Amelia Pike Youth Columnist

Feeling like you can’t fit in can be difficult. You just want to be accepted but you have those doubts. You feel like you’re not smart, not strong, not pretty, not talented and not cool enough. But the truth is, you’re fine just the way you are. You just may not know it yet. If there’s one thing high school teaches us it’s that just about everyone wants to fit in, and everyone wants good friends. But as you try to achieve those things, you may experience many things. Embarrassment. We all do things that we regret; we’ve all been there, done that. Whether it’s tripping in the lunch room and falling flat on your face in front of a hundred people or getting teased for giving the wrong answer to a question in class, embarrassment is pretty a common thing for everyone to experience some time or another. It happens to all of us, since we’re only human, so teach yourself to accept it as a learning experience. Self-consciousness. Sometimes we feel like we stick out from the crowd. We may not look and act like others, but that’s OK. We all have our own style and own opinions — that’s what makes us individuals. Our style makes us unique and independent. If we all looked, dressed and acted the same, life would be

rather mind-numbing. Own your style, make it you. Shyness. You may feel shy to say hello to a group of people whether at lunch, in the hall or in class. You may find yourself afraid of what they might say or think of you, or fear you’ll be rejected just by saying hi. But how do you know? If the conversation doesn’t strike up, you just weren’t meant to hang with that person. But you should always give it a try. Don’t be afraid because you don’t dress like them or you think you’re too different. People can surprise you and making new friends is great; don’t let superficial things stop you from meeting new people. Gossip. People gossip, it’s a fact of life. Yes, it’s wrong but they still do it. If it’s about you, don’t get angry or upset just let it roll off your back. People will always talk about others. It either makes them feel better about themselves, or they do it so no one will talk about them. Don’t retaliate back from a nasty rumor; you know it’s not true and the people who genuinely matter to you will know it’s not true too. All of these feelings and experiences are typical for teenagers to feel every day. We all experience these, for better or for worse, and the best way to overcome them is to stay true to yourself, to your family and your friends. Don’t change who you are for others; be yourself and people will like you just the way you are. Amelia Pike is a junior journalism student at Meade County High School.

NASP makes up fair’s 3D shoot Staff Report The News Standard

On Saturday the Meade County’s National Archery in Schools Program (NASP), held its 3D shoot at the Meade County Fairgrounds. Usually the event takes place during the second

weekend of the Meade County Fair, however, rain caused cancelation. There were plenty of archers who participated in the remake event including most of Meade County schools’ archers and competitors from Breckinridge County and Indiana.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was British novelist Norman Douglas who made the following sage observation: "You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements." •If you're like the average American, you will eat approximately 22 pounds of tomatoes this year. And half of that amount will come in the form of ketchup and tomato sauce. •Those who study such things say that a crack in breaking glass travels at more than 3,000 miles per hour. •This may not come as a surprise, but studies of university students show that those who major in education drink the least liquor, while business administration majors drink the most. •You might be surprised to learn that Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" was originally titled "First Impressions."

Horoscopes HOCUS-FOCUS

Last Week’s Solutions

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Changing your mind doesn't come easily for Lambs, who place a high value on commitment. But new facts could emerge that might persuade you to rethink your situation. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to put that fine Bovine's eye for beauty to work in redecorating your home or workplace. And don't forget to indulge yourself in some personal time as well. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your sense of loyalty to someone who asks for your help is commendable. But make sure there are no information gaps that should be filled in before you move too far too quickly. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don't let difficult people raise the Crab's ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week's end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you're getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Take some time out from your many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You still might want to do more investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new opportunity should be carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you've been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might have to work harder this week to get people to listen to what you have to say. But if you stay with it, you could start to get your message out to many by the week's end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although family matters again take up a big chunk of the Goat's time, the week also offers a chance to explore a new career move you'd been contemplating for a while. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Applying your practicality (what does it offer me?) and your creativity (how can I improve on it?) could provide sound reasons for seriously considering that new offer. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in encouraging others to demand the best from themselves. You would be a fine sports coach, as well as an enlightened teacher. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

Community Event

TV host meets fans at Huntin’ the Beast Expo

Tim Farmer, host of “Kentucky Afield” — the nation’s longest running outdoor television show — was at the Huntin’ the Beast Outdoor Expo held Saturday at Breckinridge County Fairgrounds. Jack Blehar, from Brandenburg, had Tim Farmer sign the archery certificate he received for participating in the Meade County Schools Archery Program, as well as one for a friend, Aaron Ray. Mr. Farmer endured a motorcycle accident in the 1980s that left him without the use of his right hand. Always an avid Kentucky outdoorsman, Mr. Farmer learned to shoot a rifle crossshouldered, tie fishing lines with his mouth, and shoot a bow and arrow using his teeth.
