Muldraugh men pull neighbor from burning home By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com MULDRAUGH — Two men pulled a neighboring resident from his flaming home Tuesday morning when a trailer on White Arrow Street caught fire. Muldraugh, Meade County and West Point fire districts were dispatched to the structure fire at 9:58 a.m. “We were toned out to a working structure fire with someone possibly inside,” said Muldraugh fire chief Danny Dresel. “When we got on scene the patient was already out of the
Muldraugh resident Danny McManama talks about the fire outside his neighbor’s trailer. He and friend Jeff Osieczonek helped retrieve the victim from his burning home Tuesday morning.
“I’m not a hero ... I’m just a neighbor.” —Danny McManama, Muldraugh resident structure.” Danny McManama has lived across from the trailer for three years and said he knew the victim, though not “real well.” “I saw the smoke and heard people outside screaming,” McManama said. “The trailer was engulfed pretty bad in flames.” He said six or seven people were standing outside the trailer, though he and friend Jeff Osieczonek au-
tomatically approached the smoldering building. “I could hear his voice ... then I could see him with the flames coming up above his head,” McManama said. He and Osieczonek were able to force open the front door and slide the victim down a ramp that led from the porch to the ground. “I knew he had trouble getting in and out of his

GUERILLA WAR
The Civil War years were vicious ones in Meade Co., where some of the war’s most ruthless rebels staked claim By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

hey used children as human shields when they rode into gunfights and hung suspected Union supporters on a whim. They were outlaws. They were terrorists. They were savages. They were “the Black Flag” — rogue guerilla rebels that rode by night through the hills and hollers of Meade County, enacting their allegiance to the Confederacy. These so-called “irregulars,” noted for their unethical battle actions, were the topic of January’s meeting of the Meade County Archeological Society, held Monday at the Meade County Public Library annex. Gerald Fischer, Steve Straney, Shirley Brown and Andy Woolfolk presented “Little Known Civil War Guerilla Raiders of the Kentucky Heartland.” Their program included photographs of some of Meade County’s and the Commonwealth’s most notorious Confederate war guerillas as well as stories from their presentday descendants, authentic Civil War era weapons and pictures of some of the men’s gravemarkers as they exist today in forgotten nooks on the county. Fischer, who is president of the Meade County Archeological Society, is a profound Civil War buff, whose years of historical and genealogical research has allowed him to piece together some of Meade County’s most remarkable Civil War accounts. “Let’s not forget ... these men were just stone cold murderers,” he said to a room full of 20 residents Monday night. Turn to Page A5 to read a portion of Fischer’s presentation in the form of an essay titled “The death of cavalry captain W.K. Shacklett CSA.” The Meade County Archeological Society meets the first Monday of the month at 6 p.m. at the library annex, except for next month. February’s meeting date is yet to be determined. For more information about the group, contact Fischer at 270547-4823 or the Meade County Public Library at 270-422-2094.

State transportation department has been preparing for late week snow storm The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet was in winter weather mode this week — preparing for a snow storm expected to begin early yesterday morning, in the midst of a deep freeze that has gripped the eastern United States. “The bitter cold compounds the problem of snow because it limits our ability to pretreat roadways for advancing precipitation,” Acting Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said. “Our crews are prepared to battle the elements to keep roadways in the best possible condition.” Many central and eastern Kentucky highway crews were treating and removing snow from an earlier weather maker on Tuesday. Crews in parts of the state have been placed on 12-hour shifts this week to aid the snow and ice response. Motorists should always use extra caution when driving in winter weather and remember that bridges and overpasses typically freeze before surface-level roadways. Highway and weather information is available online at www.511. ky.gov or can be accessed by dialing 511.

A glimpse at the economic status of Meade County Jennifer Bridge
As of the 2000 census, we have 26,349 people living in the county which forms 7,393 families. Of those, 695 families (9.3 percent) live below the poverty level. The median family income is $40,592 and 316 grandparents are raising their grandchildren. A total of 1,035 people are receiving food stamps with an average benefit of $244.11 per month. In our community In the six month period between October 2008 and October 2000, 107 houses went into foreclosure in
Meade County. Also during that period, 2.79 percent of mortgages are 90 days delinquent and credit card delinquency of 60 days or more has increased by 6.7 percent. Fourteen percent of the people under the age of 65 are uninsured. The unemployment rate increased from 8.2 percent in September 2008 to 12 percent in August 2009. If you would like to know more about the statistics I’ve used, please contact me and request “Building Strong Families in Kentucky … in Meade County.” As an extension agent it
is my role to address pressing concerns of the county through education and leadership development. I know we have many families who need help. While I cannot offer funding or monetary support I can provide education and other informational resources. At the extension office we have seen an increased interest in food preservation, basic cooking skills, financial management and basic living skills. We offer many classes and publications which focus on these topics. All educational pam-
phlets are free of charge and will be mailed upon request or you can stop by and pickup a copy in the resource library. We have tried to make our FCS publication system user friendly so if you want we will send you a listing of available publications then you can let us know your interest. Most classes are free or low cost to the participant. If a fee is charged for a class it is to cover the cost of supplies.

When Dresel and the first team of firefighters responded to the scene, they called in a LifeNet helicopter because of the severity of the victim’s burns.
“Once the patient was on the helicopter ... we had the fire under control within minutes,” he said. “The living room where he was at was pretty well involved when we arrived.” Dresel said state fire marshals are still investigating the cause of the fire. “I didn’t really have time to think ... (Jeff and I) just tried to get him out
of there,” McManama said of the incident. “I don’t want to be made out to be special. I’m not a hero. The real heroes are in Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m just a neighbor.” As of Wednesday, the victim, who’s name has been intentionally withheld, was of unknown health status at a Louisville hospital. “I’ve had trouble breath-
ing and that was from only being there a few minutes,” Osieczonek said. “I just hope he survives.” “Those two individuals, Danny and Jeff, went above and beyond,” Dresel said. “That was pretty brave, what they did.” McManama said he waits anxiously to hear if his neighbor will recover. “I just wish I would have got there sooner,” he said.

board meeting in December, that the importance of such technology can be seen due simply to the sheer volume of people who come in and out of the schools. “We need to make sure we know who’s walking into our schools,” he said. Crump said the program is not intended to make visitors feel unwelcome in the schools, but to make those students and staff who are there daily safer and more secure. “The intent of Ident-AKid is to make sure we are taking every step we possibly can to protect the most valuable thing they send to us, and that’s the children,” he said. The technology, which includes a computer and
camera, has been set up at Meade County High School since around the Thanksgiving holiday and principal Bill Adams is supportive of the new visitor sign-in program. “We feel as if we live in the best community in the nation, but if we can add a program like the Ident-AKid program to make our schools even safer, we are 100 percent for it,” Adams said. Rather than the old way of signing in, where visitors must fill out a sign-in log and a visitor’s pass, the new program can scan a person’s identification and, with a few extra clicks of a mouse, can search a database for sex offenders. It will also take a photo of the visitor and will log the destination in the building, both of which will be printed on the visitor’s pass. At the high school, a student escort will also be sent to assist the visitor to

Operation Gratitude sends 500,00th package Operation Gratitude has now sent 500,000 packages to service personnel in combat zones since the organization started in 2003. It sent 100,000 packages this year alone. That’s half a million boxes. That represents $5.5 million in postage, 4 million pounds of items in the boxes and 25 million individual items worth $50 million. Each box has items with a value of more than $100. This time there were two special bonuses sent along with the packages: the keys to two Harley Davidson Sportsters, one each to two service members who have had multiple tours of combat duty. The motorcycles were donated by two of the corporate sponsors. These boxes aren’t just sent at random. The names come from those in charge, the ones out in the field who compile lists of members of their group who are to receive the packages. But if you have a family member

From Congress Happy New Year! This is the time of year when many of us make New Year’s resolutions. I hope the majority in Congress makes a resolution to begin working together on behalf of the American people. Kentuckians are ready for Congress to implement common-sense ideas that create jobs, make health care more affordable for everyone and keep our homeland safe. The American people deserve openness, transparency and accountability. Concerned citizens across the country continue to speak out against the majority’s plan to pass a government takeover of health care. Congressional leaders are meeting behind closed doors to draft their final plan for health care reform
more of their hard-earned tax dollars so they can succeed and grow, creating jobs and helping get our economy back on track. And although these domestic issues have dominated our debates in recent months, we were again reminded over the holidays that we are still a nation at war. We’re fighting a war on terrorism, and the attempted attack to bring down Northwest Airlines Flight 253 was an act of terrorism. While I agree with the president not sending anymore detainees to Yemen, transferring some of the world’s most dangerous terrorists, many of whom are directly linked to al Qaeda, into the United States poses a great risk to our homeland. The attempted plot should be another signal to the president to reevaluate his long term strategy to close the secure facility at Guantanamo Bay. We should remain focused on stabilizing the country of Afghanistan
and denying the Taliban and al Qaeda a refuge. Throughout history, Americans have always remained strong and preserved. Our united front, hard work ethic, and patriotism will continue to carry us though. My resolution this year is to continue to fight against these out-of-touch, fiscally irresponsible policies and push for solutions that will actually help revive the economy. I will also work to ensure our troops have the tools they need to effectively carry out their mission. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas as we welcome a new year and work together to make Kentucky an even better place.

Time to stop the prescription pill pipeline

I have observed, others have voiced concerns and now a Kentucky provider has met a violent death which confirms that the behavior of patients seeking controlled substances has escalated to an unacceptable level. A number of doctors are telling me that they are concerned about this happening again and that something needs to be done. Just a few months ago hundreds of alleged drug dealers were arrested as part of “Operation Flamingo Road.” It was to stop the so-called pill pipeline

ers of this Commonwealth come together as leaders in the healthcare delivery system and implement a Kentucky Providers Bill of Rights. The providers, and not the patient, must have the final say in diagnosis and treatment. What I am seeing is that the paradigm has flipped and now some patients are telling us what their diagnosis is, how and when to treat them and become angry if we don’t follow their wishes. Unfortunately if a provider disagrees a serious breach in the relationship can occur with the potential for heightened tension levels, and at the worst ... murder. But it doesn’t stop there. I think it’s important for legislators in Washington to create a national pre-
scription drug monitoring program. We’ve got to start addressing this drug epidemic at all levels. This is not a local issue or a state issue, but a national concern. There are families being torn apart by this prescription drug craze. People are dying every week. Something has got to be done and we need to start today. Dr. Dennis Sandlin paid the ultimate price. We don’t need to loose another doctor. Our people are paying the price through broken homes, prison times and sometimes death. This has got to stop. We have paid enough.

The Kentucky Medical Examiners Office says in 2008 Kentucky led the nation in the use of prescription drugs for non-medical purposes. Preliminary numbers from the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics confirmed that 877 deaths in the Commonwealth were attributed to prescription drug overdoses last year. In our impoverished areas, the prescription drug problem leads to crimes such as robbery, burglary and theft. Now we can unfortunately add murder.

that will impact every American. I hope the final version steers away from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Housepassed bill, which spends $1.2 trillion dollars, cuts Medicare benefits, includes a $34 billion dollar unfunded Medicaid mandate, and it increases premiums for those already struggling to pay for health insurance. I will continue to fight against ‘Cap and Trade’ energy legislation, which remains at the top of the majority’s agenda. This proposal will raise utility rates for all Kentuckians. Right now, energy costs in Kentucky are some of the lowest in the country, giving us a huge economic development advantage. If this bill passes, Kentucky families and businesses will face even greater financial hardship. It is important that Congress work to help individuals who are struggling during these difficult economic times and not work against them. Congress should allow them to keep

The death of cavalry Capt. W. K. Shacklett CSA By Gerald W. Fischer President of the Meade Co. Archeological Society
On April 27, 1863, Union Captain Joseph Herr, with 100 cavalry soldiers and two negroes with four pack mules carrying provisions, was dispatched from Louisville with written orders to capture or kill Capt. William K. Shacklett of the 3rd Kentucky Cavalry CSA, and his associates, who were residents of Meade County. Capt. Shacklett, better known as Billy, had been captain of the Brandenburg Home Guard, who switched sides and joined the Confederate Army enlisting Aug. 14, 1862 in the 5th Kentucky Cavalry, Company F, at Big Springs, Ky. He, along with six officers, 28 privates, and non-commissioned officers, enlisted the same day. He was known for drilling his soldiers, and in one drill on Dr. Ditto’s field he had his cavalry charge a line of infantry in a sham battle. The infantry withheld half of their fire until the cavalry were close upon them when they began firing the balance of their guns, causing the horses to bolt and their riders to become excited and angry — nearly causing the sham battle to turn into a real one. Shacklett had a fife and drum with his command; John Cain blew the fife while John Sealy beat the kettledrum. Billy had been scouting in Meade County preparatory to going south, and although little is known about his actions in Meade County, he was notable for several reasons. The large number of troops sent against him speaks volumes about the threat he was considered. He was also operating as a Partisan Ranger, and one member of his band, a man named Gossett, was reputed to be the first man in Louisville to accumulate and run guns to the Confederates. There is little doubt in my mind that he had contact, and probably rode at times in cooperation, with other guerilla raiders such as Stanley Young (aka Bill Marion), and Captains John Bryant, Thomas C. Supoyster, Horseley, Hays and others. He probably had connections with Hercules “Herc” Walker, a gun runner and desperado in Jefferson County, Ky. Billy Shacklett was 24 years old when he enlisted as a Confederate, and he had seven months and 15 days to live. The Federals bivouacked at the courthouse on East Hill the night of April 28, 1863, and when the bugle sounded early on the 29 of April they embarked on the raid to kill Billy Shacklett and his men. The route they took led them out of Brandenburg on what is now State Road 448, toward Garrett to Meadeville and onward toward the road to the Shumate schoolhouse, where, nearby, there were some overhanging rocks that were commonly referred to as “the sheep shed.” Occasionally sheep were herded under the overhanging rocks that served as a shelter for them. A path to the school ran very near the rocks of the sheep shed. The morning of April 29 dawned bright with the red buds showing their fading red hues and the dogwoods brilliantly blooming their white flowers with red centers that sprinkled their branches. The air was fragrant with blossoms and cool, but quickly warming, as Herr and his soldiers cantered toward Meadeville. The bright spring day was not lost on the Confederates and the only sounds heard were the wind in the trees and the songs of birds. There was good-natured bantering among the Captain and his rangers, and one of the men, named Jarrett, titled back a bottle of whiskey and drink deeply. As the Federals neared the place where they were to turn from the road toward the sheep shed, the informant that served as the

Billy Shacklett and his men were staying in their camp under the rocks enjoying the fine spring weather when Joseph Herr’s scouts, unobserved, spotted the Confederates. Herr ordered his charge before the Confederates were aware the Federals were near, and when the alarm was raised the guerillas scattered in all directions. The sound of the bugle, the thundering hooves of horses, the creaking of leather, the jangling of sabers and the shouts of men broke the idyllic spell of a peaceful spring morning. The assault was so quick
and unexpected that there was no time for the Confederates to form a line of battle. The first man killed was the gun-runner, Gossett. He spurred his horse to jump a small cliff but it stumbled, crushing out his life by pinning him against a tree. Dan Morgan Shacklett was trying to move Gossett out of his way when Herr’s men came up and he was captured. To make sure Gossett was dead, one of the soldiers that captured Dan Shacklett placed a revolver under Gossett’s nose and fired a bullet through his head so close that Gossett’s moustache caught fire. After Dan Shacklett was captured the troopers came
upon John Wimp who emptied his pistols at them, only to find himself surrounded with his ammunition exhausted. He surrendered with his hands held high, but as soon as John Wimp was taken into custody, a Federal Orderly named Amos Griffin came up from behind him and fired a bullet into the back of his head, instantly killing him. This murder was done near the place where the Barnes’ lived, on the path the children used to go to school. Billy Shacklett, while defending himself in another gunfight took refuge behind a large red oak tree and began firing at the troopers with his pistols. During the melee he was

shot several times, including a pistol ball through the eyes, and although badly wounded he continued firing revolvers, changing cylinders as he emptied them. Captain Herr ran up to him and demanded his surrender, but Billy — with no thought of giving up — raised a revolver for the last time. Joseph Herr fired two or three more rounds into his body, and Billy fell unconscious from the shock of the bullets and the loss of blood. Herr, presuming Billy was dead, left him to other Federals that wanted to search his body for valuables. Billy, although unconscious, was still alive and two men wanting his guns

placed their feet against his body and pulled his gun belt from his body, breaking the tick leather belt that held his holsters. Before he later died, Billy said those men hurt him worse than the bullets. Left for dead, unarmed and fatally wounded, Billy Shacklett dragged himself some 50 yards through the woods and down the hill toward Mrs. Barnes’ house because, as he later explained, he did not want to die alone in the woods. In another running gunfight, three men, some say two of whom were Tom Tobin and Jim Gossip, and the third man, Jess Taylor, were chased on horseback exchanging fire with the cavalry troopers. In this same fight, Jess Taylor checked his horse in flight as the three men were being pursued. Taylor survived by feigning being shot and falling on the road as Herr’s men, thinking he was dead, galloped by. After the soldiers were out of sight, Taylor, safely alone, crawled to a large rock near a sinkhole and secreted himself until friends later found him. Jarrett was captured about 60 yards in front of the Shumate schoolhouse where he was hiding on the ground near a fence. Having imbibed of strong spirits before the battle and perhaps not thinking clearly, Jarrett got up to run off in sight of Herr and his men. The Federals seeing him run called for him to halt and Jarrett stopped unbuckled his belt and handed his revolvers over to them saying, “I surrender, captain.” No sooner than he turned over his revolvers he stood up against a tree and cursed the Federal soldiers, demanding they shoot him right then and there.
Part two of the history of Captain W. K. Shacklett’s death will continue in next week’s issue.

Born Feb. 6, 1914, in Flaherty, she was the daughter of Albert and Adelia Craycroft Hughes. She lost her mother at the age of seven and became a mother to her brothers, Ronald, Pat and Roy and her sister, Bea, as well as anyone who knew her. She was a member of St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church and attended high school there. She married Bernard Ritchie, her husband of almost 68 years, at St. Martin’s in 1934. In 1945, Bernard and Rosalia moved their family to a farm on HWY 79, just outside of Brandenburg, which became their home place, and they became lifelong members of St. John the Apostle Catholic Church. Rosy was active in her church and community and was a charter member of the Meade County Homemakers Association. Always excited about learning new things, the lessons and good times with her friends in the Midway club were always her favorites. She enjoyed life on the farm, taking care of her family, her flowers, her garden and many birds and animals over the years, even a pair of skunks. Mema and Pa, as they came to be known, enjoyed being grandparents so much and set a wonderful example of love and devotion to family. Rosy lost her beloved Bernard in 2002 and a daughter, Deloris “Dee” Ilario in 1990. She is survived by her children, Liz (Fred) Wheatley, Shirley (Jerry) Miles and Bruno (Karen) Ilario, all of Brandenburg and Joe Ritchie of Elizabethtown, Ky. She leaves sweet memories for her 11 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; her great-great-grandson; and a grateful heart to her caregivers who took such good care of her. A mass of Christian burial was held Thursday, Jan. 7, at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, with burial in St. George Cemetery, next to her loving husband. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to Mass of the Air, 508 Breckenridge Lane, Louisville, KY 40207-3833, or to Hosparus of Central Kentucky, P.O.

Women must look to each other to connect James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: My husband and I just moved to Arizona from Pennsylvania, and I haven’t established a network of friends here yet. My family is back east, and I have no one but my husband to talk to about problems the kids are having. He is very busy, so all the “homework” is left to me. How can I deal with the feelings of loneliness and isolation as a mother? DR. DOBSON: It is vital that you build relationships with other women that can help satisfy the needs for friendship and emotional support. Failure to do that places too great a strain on the marital relationship, which can lead to serious interpersonal problems. I’m not saying that your husband has no responsibility to help you get through this period of loneliness, but unless he is a very unusual man, he will not be able to “carry” you emotionally while earning a living and handling the other responsi-
bilities of living. Therefore, I recommend that you seek out women’s groups that are designed to meet the needs you described. Many churches offer Bible study groups and classes that put women in touch with one another. Other possibilities are out there, such as Mom’s Day Out. For mothers of schoolage children, there is a Christian ministry called Moms In Touch International, designed to bring women together to pray for their local school, its teachers, principal, school board, etc. It “bonds” them together in a common cause. What I’m saying is that you are not alone, even in a new city. There are other women out there who need you as much as you need them. You can find each other with a little effort. It is dangerous under the circumstances you described to sit and wait for the world to come to your front door. QUESTION: What can I do to help my middle child figure out who she is? DR. DOBSON: Parents should take steps to ensure the identity of all their children but especially the child in the middle. That
can be accomplished by relating to each boy or girl as an individual, rather than merely as a member of the group. Let me offer two suggestions that will illustrate what I mean. 1. It is meaningful for Dad to “date” each child, one at a time, every four or five weeks. The other kids should not be told where they are going until it is revealed by the boy or girl in retrospect. They can play miniature golf, go bowling, play basketball, eat tacos or pizza, or visit a skating rink. The choice should be made by the child whose turn has arrived. 2. Ask each offspring to design his or her own flag, which can be sewn in canvas or cloth. That flag is then flown in the front yard on the child’s “special” days, including birthdays, after he has received an A in school, when he scores a goal in soccer or hits a home run in baseball, and so forth. There are other ways to accomplish the same purpose. The target, again, is to plan activities that emphasize one child’s individuality apart from his identity within the group.
QUESTION: Is it possible to love someone and not feel it? DR. DOBSON: It certainly is ó because love is more than a feeling. It is primarily a decision. Married couples who misunderstand this point will have serious problems when the feeling of love disappears for a time. Couples who genuinely love each other will experience times of closeness, times when they feel apathetic, and times when they are irritated and cranky. That’s just the way emotions operate. What, then, will hold them steady as feelings bounce all over the landscape? The source of constancy is a commitment of the will. You simply make up your mind not to be blown off the limb by fluctuating and unreliable emotions. Dr. Dobson is founder and Chairman Emeritus of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80995 (www. focusonthefamily.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both published by Tyndale House.

Because There’s So Much Left to Live For
Strive to be righteous in the midst of corruption Dan Newton Divine Guidance
2 Peter 2:7-8 says, “And delivered just lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds),” (KJV). The recent discovery in South Africa of a diamond twice the size of the former record holder has stunned the world’s diamond community. The gem had been there
all the time, of course, hidden in the dirt, but someone had to dig for it. However harsh their surroundings, diamonds are worth the effort it takes to separate them from the mud and muck. The Bible calls Lot a “righteous man” although he lived in the wicked city of Sodom. As the only upstanding man to make his home in the midst of such corruption, Lot remained alone in his anguish over the sin he saw day after day. He remained alone in suffering the jeers of people who despised his way of life almost as much as theirs grieved him. Can you imagine how
Lot felt? Maybe you can even identify with it. Perhaps you live in a modern-day Sodom. Maybe your neighbors, friends, and even family would feel right at home in such a moral sewer. Maybe you’re the only godly man or woman living in an environment that lacks any hint of morality or righteousness. Perhaps you feel totally alone in your desire to hold on to a godly life. Though Lot was far from perfect, his love for God made him a gem that shone from the ancient city of Sodom. Like Lot, you can hold on to righteousness, despite ridicule and opposition,
and be a man or woman willing to shine for God in the midst of corruption. God never promised us an easy ride. It’s difficult to be righteous in the midst of corruption. If God calls you to live as a diamond amid the dirt of this world, he will also encourage and equip you. If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morning service starts at 11 a.m. We invite you to listen to our weekly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.
All things are possible with faith in Jesus Christ Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight
I remember reading some facilitating stories while I was in school. One was about how people thought that it was impossible for man to travel beyond 70 miles an hour. It was thought at the time that if you went faster
than that, the air would be sucked out of your lungs and you would die. I chuckled when I read that story because I had gone faster than that riding with my brother in his new Barracuda, and we had the windows rolled down. Another story that caught my interest was also about speed. No one had ever ran a mile in four minutes or less. In all of recorded history the four minute mile had never been broken un-

til 1954 when Roger Bannister believed he could do it. He “saw” himself breaking the four minute mile record and, sure enough, he did it. Since then that record has been broken repeatedly because Rodger Bannister proved it could be done. As you face the challenges ahead, chances are there will be obstacles to your success that says you can’t do it. But if someone with only
human strength was able to accomplish what once seemed impossible, just imagine what you can do if you place your faith and trust in an almighty God. When you face life’s difficulties and everyone and everything is telling you it can’t be done, remember what Jesus said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are,” (Mark 10:27). Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Downey Ekron Town Board to shines combat park vandalism new light Neighborhood block watch on Holmes program may be Shawn Hughes Jr. Reel Reviews
I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the movie “Sherlock Holmes.” I was afraid it was going to be all spectacle and no brainpower, which is what the commercials will have you believe. The first thing to talk about is the character. Casting Robert Downey Jr. as the legendary detective was a bold move that paid off brilliantly. No one but Downey could bring such a charismatic likability to a character like Holmes. Indeed, once you’ve geared your mind towards the prospect, the wise-cracking, actionoriented approach to the rest of the film only seems natural. That being said, it’s absolutely necessary to view this movie with an open mind. Substantial liberties are taken with the Holmes character and the mysteries he solves, but it must be seen for what it is, which is a reimagining of the classic character. And I’d say, they did a fantastic job of it. Holmes’ ability to arrive at the grandest of conclusions from the smallest of details never fails to astound, and is made all the more entertaining thanks to Downey’s excellent upbeat and humorous portrayal. Even Jude Law has taken his acting career up a notch with his Frasier-like depiction of Watson, who proves to be the perfect companion for his offbeat partner. The action is a general standout from the usual Hollywood fare, thanks to a unique and thoroughly mesmerizing approach to combat in which Holmes applies his detective-oriented mind in order to overcome physical obstacles. Oftentimes viewers are treated to a slowmotion view of a fight, with Holmes narrating a well-thought-out barrage of attacks, before viewing the same fight again in real time. The result is nothing short of fantastic, and earns the viewer a greater appreciation for Holmes’ abilities as a result. The film does suffer some shortcomings, however. The use of flashbacks in close proximity to certain story elements can be disorienting at times, and the story itself is sometimes hard to keep up with because of mumbled, fast-spoken dialogue. On the flip side, the brilliant characters do such a good job of keeping you entertained that it hardly ever seems to matter. Despite the seemingly odd mix of action and intellectualism, Sherlock Holmes is an auspicious beginning to what will hopefully become a thriving franchise. Final grade:
implemented
By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com EKRON — Members of the Ekron Town Board heard a report during a regular meeting Tuesday, Jan. 5, from commissioner Cory Trent concerning the implementation of a neighborhood block watch program and the installation of a park security camera. Trent told board members that a public meeting will be held Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 7 p.m. at the Ekron Fire Station, to inform the public of how a neighborhood block watch would work. Trent said a representative from the Meade County Sheriff’s Department will be on hand to help with explanations. Ekron mayor Gwynne Ison said it’s so important for the community, as a whole, to attend the meeting, to hear the information provided by Trent and the Meade County Sheriff’s Department. “I’m open to hearing the complaints, but let’s not just complain,” Ison said. “Let’s be a part of the solution.” Trent also reported on the status of purchasing a security camera to be posted inside Ekron Grocery store to monitor the city’s adjacent park grounds. Trent said he’s researched the price of cameras and asked the board to set a cap for the maximum amount of money he should look to spend on the system as a whole. “If we can go back just a moment and look at what we’ve lost without the security camera, in monetary value, and I think Joyce (McHolan, commissioner) would tell you that, at this
Prevent your water pipes from freezing, bursting Submitted by the Ky. Department of Water FRANKFORT — With frigid temperatures and wind chills expected to continue, the Kentucky Division of Water reminds citizens to protect the water systems in their homes and businesses from freezing. When water freezes, it expands. When water freezes in a pipe and expands enough, the pipe bursts, water escapes and serious damage results. Pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls are all vulnerable to freezing, especially if there are cracks or openings that allow cold outside air to flow across the pipes. To keep pipes from freezing, wrap hot and cold water pipes in insulation or layers of newspaper, covering the newspapers with plastic to keep out moisture. Allow a trickle of water to run from a cold faucet that is farthest from the water meter or one that has frozen in the past. This will keep the water moving so that it cannot freeze and will help relieve pressure should ice form in the pipes. Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around the pipes.

point, it may well be $1,000 thus far,” Ison said. “And this is $1,000 of your dollars, of our community’s dollars, so I don’t think it would be (too much) to state a $1,000 ceiling for this project.” She cautioned Trent to try to keep the project at half that, however, if at all possible, but again noted that since the city of Ekron has likely lost that much and has been unable to get it back through prosecution because of lack of proof, she thought it would be a prudent expenditure. “It’s just childish pranks,” Ison said. “It’s time to do something.” Ison told Trent to bring a bid back to the board for the cost of the project and to keep them informed on the status. In other city of Ekron news, the board: •Heard an update from commissioner Joyce McHolan about winterizing needs for the parks, namely concrete that needs to be hauled off before spring. •Discussed future needs for the city, including the issue of street lights. The topic had been brought before the board previously, but tabled due to Ekron Elementary’s school construction. McHolan said she thought lights on Reese Avenue were the main concern and the board encouraged problems or concerns regarding lighting to be brought to them or get the number off the pole and report the problem to Meade County RECC directly. •Heard a report from commissioner Pam Troutman regarding current road conditions and which roads need repair. •Heard from Meade County magistrate Steve Wardrip regarding road paving and patching.

If pipes freeze, remove the insulation, completely open all the faucets and pour hot water over the pipes or wrap them with towels soaked in hot water, starting where they are most exposed to the cold. You may also use a hand-held hair dryer or electric heating pad if there is no standing water. Apply heat until full water pressure is restored. Do not use a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, charcoal stove or other open flame device to thaw a pipe. A blowtorch can make water in a frozen pipe boil and cause the pipe to explode. All open flames in homes present a serious fire danger, as well as a severe risk of exposure to lethal carbon monoxide. When away from the house for an extended period of time, consider draining the water system completely. To drain the system, shut off the main valve, turn off and drain the water heater and turn on every water fixture (both hot and cold lines) until water stops running. When returning to the house, turn on the main valve, turn on the water heater and let each fixture run until the pipes are full again. the project will be given at Tuesday’s event, then board members will be on hand to answer questions. Plans for a county activity center became public in November 2008, and the board continues to gauge community support through telephone surveys and informational sessions such as MAC Attack.

Tips for driving in the snow: •Accelerate and decelerate slowly. Applying the gas slowly to accelerate is the best method for regaining traction and avoiding skids. Don’t try to get moving in a hurry. And take time to slow down for a stoplight. •Drive slowly. Everything takes longer on snowcovered roads. •The normal dry pavement following distance of three to four seconds should be increased to eight to ten seconds. This increased margin of safety will provide the longer distance needed if you have to stop.
•Whether you have antilock brakes or not, the best way to stop is threshold breaking. Keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. •Don’t power up hills. Applying extra gas on snow-covered roads just starts your wheels spinning. Try to get a little inertia going before you reach the hill and let that inertia carry you to the top. As you reach the crest of the hill, reduce your speed and proceed down hill as slowly as possible. •Don’t stop going up a hill. There’s nothing worse than trying to get moving up a hill on an icy road. Get some inertia going on a flat roadway before you take on the hill.
FEATURES McCreary Dairy Bar feels like a throwback to the 1950s A9 - The News Standard
Friday, January 8, 2010
Ever wished you could experience what life was like in the 1950s and even earlier? There’s a place in McCreary County, Ky., where that’s quite possible, and it doesnít even require much imagination. A fixture along US 27 in Whitley City, the Dairy Bar, complete with carhops, is little changed from the business started by the George P. Andersons in 1933. With its brightly lit neon sign, colorful menu offerings drawn on the windows, and smell of fresh ground beef cooking on the grill, this has been “the place” to hang out for longer than most people can remember. Despite being damaged by fire on two different occasions, it has risen from the ashes, serving up menu items basically unchanged for over 75 years. Ironically, the last fire was in 1966, the same year the establishment’s present owner was born. Mark Sewell and wife Sherry, both McCreary County natives, took over operations just two months ago. A banker in the county for more than 23 years and pastor of the Lower Hickory Grove Baptist Church for 20, Mark said running the restaurant is a pleasant break from the corporate world. “I still feel like I’m on vacation,” he said, noting he had “grown tired of the corporate mindset and stress.” He credits Sherry with being “the driving force behind this business.” “She has always had an interest in doing this,” he

Prior to buying the business, the Sewells were regulars also, dining at the Dairy Bar as often as three times per week. Mark began coming to the
restaurant as a child and estimates he has eaten “hundreds” of Dixie Whoppers, a double-decker burger with a special secret sauce “that has been the main menu item forever.” The sauce recipe isn’t written down, but has been passed down from owner to owner through the years. For many years, the business was operated by the Andersons’ son and daughter-in-law, the late Shoff and Pauline. Pauline was a stickler for cleanliness, a tradition very much in evidence today with mirror-like floors,
a soda fountain so shiny it gleams and green vinylcovered booths recently added along the front windows to compliment the old-time bar stools. Mark is convinced there are few people in McCreary County who haven’t worked at the eatery in their youth. The longest tenured employee, Shelby Genoe, a grill cook, has been here for 24 years, and her teenage daughter Brittany is a carhop. As good as business is today, there was a period in 2003-04 when things really
boomed following publication of a blurb in “Southern Living” magazine. The writer noted: “A throwback to the fifties, this establishment serves the most amazing burgers around. Try the Dixie Whooper for $2.50; then opt for the broccoli poppers. Slurp it all down with a strawberry shake. Lunch time doesnít get much better than this.” You can’t get a king-sized Dixie Whooper for $2.50 anymore; it’s gone up a buck. But Mark points out the price of a heaping help-
ing of down-home southern hospitality remains the same. “I like working where I know most of my customers on a first-name basis and providing a place where we can serve them at a reasonable cost,” he said. “There’s more to life than making money.” Now there’s advice worth taking to the bank.

‘Smooth’ie start to the new year If you’ve resolved to be healthier this year, a nutritious breakfast is one of the best ways to start your day. When you eat a healthy breakfast, you consume less fat and cholesterol, eat more vitamins and minerals, have higher productivity throughout the morning and are more focused on the tasks at hand. A healthy breakfast also helps with weight loss, appetite control and can lower cholesterol, which will reduce your risks for heart disease. If you’ve been skipping breakfast because you’re pressed for time, a vitamin- and nutrient-rich, power-packed smoothie is the answer. Smoothies are easy to make, can be easily adapted to suit individual tastes and best of all, they’re portable if you need a “breakfast to go.” These healthy smoothie recipes contain fruits, vegetables, wheat germ and soft tofu. Wheat germ is the embryo or kernel of the wheat. It’s a rich source of protein, fiber, unsaturated
fat, vitamins E, B1, B2, B5 and B6, phosphorus, zinc, thiamine and magnesium. Try these nutritious, vitamin-packed smoothies to ensure you start your day the healthy way.

Use horticultural oils this winter to UK’s winter wheat help control various landscape pests meeting is Jan. 12 Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources Winter probably doesn’t seem the right time to eliminate pests that will infest your landscape plants next spring. But we need to remember that many problem pests will spend the winter on or near plants they’ll munch on this coming spring and summer. One way to get an early handle on problem pests is to use horticultural, formally called dormant, oils that are specially formulated for pest control. Horticultural oils suffocate overwintering pests like scale, aphids and certain mites. These oils are used as a natural substitute for a traditional insecticide. They are an effective chemical control with minimal environmental impact and usually little effect on beneficial insects and wildlife. Plus, horticultural oils are exceptionally safe to humans, don’t have an objec-
tionable odor, and usually are inexpensive compared to many other insecticides. By using horticultural oils on pests in the overwintering stage, you can avoid a potential outbreak later in the season. This can save time later because you might not need treatments in the early spring, or at least need fewer applications. Some words of caution. Don’t apply a horticultural oil during temperature extremes, especially if the temperature is forecast to drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit the day before or after application. If you wait until later in the year to use a horticultural oil, don’t apply it if the temperature will rise above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Trees and plants are more sensitive to injury from a horticultural oil under extreme heat or cold. As with all chemicals, read and follow the label directions for use. Also, be sure the product is labeled for the plants to which you’re applying it. Thorough spray coverage is key to an effective application because horti-

Horticultural oils are safe to humans and can be a better resource than insecticides when it comes to preventing landscape plant damage. cultural oils only work by contacting and covering the target pests. For best results, use high-volume sprays combined with proper pruning practices to allow thorough plant penetration of the spray material. Proper timing is critical for successfully applying these oils. They should be applied before leaves or flowers show signs of
breaking dormancy; this is, before bud break. It usually is in late March or early April but might vary by two weeks or more depending on weather conditions. Wait until as close to bud break as possible before applying horticultural oil sprays. For more information, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-422-4958.
With head scab widespread in wheat harvested this summer and wet weather delaying wheat planting and reducing acreage this fall, Kentucky producers have faced adversity in the past year. Management strategies to help producers respond to these issues as well as research and industry updates are features of the 2010 Winter Wheat Meeting of the University of Kentucky’s Wheat Science Group. The meeting is scheduled for Jan. 12 at the Christian County extension office. It begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. CST. Specialists from several departments in the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture will discuss a variety of topics of interest to new and experienced wheat producers. Topics include ways late planting alters wheat management plans, wheat market trends, variety testing results, using predatory insects for
biological control of wheat pests, strobilurin-based fungicides’ effectiveness in treating head scab, and wheat injury from certain herbicides. In addition to UK specialists, Marcia McMullen, a North Dakota State University plant pathologist, will discuss how to be “scab smart” and Carl Schwinke with Siemer Milling Company will address the impact of reduced acreage and head scab on the 2009 crop. Certified crop advisor credits are available in the following categories, 2.5 in pest management, 1.5 in crop management and 0.5 in professional development. Pesticide continuing education units available include three general and one specific hours in categories 1A, 10, 12 and 14. Lunch is provided by the Kentucky Small Grain Growers Association. Preregistration is not required. For more information, contact Dottie Call, coordinator of UK’s Wheat Science Group, at 270-365-7541, ext. 234 or at dcall@uky.edu.

Along with demonstrations, attendees will
have access to interactive activities and presentations, as well as educational booths from organizations representing all facets of the equine industry. Educational booth possibilities include equine dental work, equine ambulance information, forging shoes, horse tack and horse physicals. The Kentucky Equine Youth Festival admission is $50 for schools, $24 for youth groups, and $5 for individuals. Schools and youth groups both require advanced registration. The event will be in the new indoor horse arena. Sponsors for the event include the University of Kentucky Equine Initiative, University of Louisville Equine Industry Program, Kentucky 4-H Horse Program, Kentucky Equine Education Project, Kentucky Department of Education, United States Equestrian Federation, United States Pony Clubs and the Kentucky Horse Council. Additional sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information on this event, contact Kristen Harvey at 859-257-7501 or kjanicki@email.uky.edu.

A season of Slump
Good Call Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas’ nickname, Agent Zero, has become ironic these days. This week police agents swarmed Arenas after he brandished several guns toward teammate Javaris Crittenton after the two had a dispute over a lofty gambling debt. Arenas stored the guns in the Wizards Verizon Center’s locker room and placed them by Crittenton’s locker as a threat. Now, Arenas may face some serious criminal charges along with reprimands from the NBA. Agent Zero has always been a clown — in the most insincerest ways. At the age of 21 he was arrested for an unlawful possession of a firearm. He was also one of the first NBA stars to write a blog, which is littered with dialogue such as “I’m like ‘no way.’ And then they’re like ‘oh yeah.’” What was his conversation with Crittenton when he pulled a gun on his teammate inside the Wizards’ locker room? Was it, “I’m, like, way mad at you.” Arenas told officials on Monday that it was a “misguided effort to play a joke.” His attempt at being funny fell shorter than a Shaquille O’Neal free throw and now will scar Agent Zero for the rest of his NBA days and beyond. Arenas’ Twitter page blew up after the story broke with laughable notes such as this one, verbatim: “so when people think in havin a melt down.. im just tellin jokes to keep myself from getting depressed..becuz LAUGHTER CURES PAIN” This “misguided” event brings up a lot of issues that have infiltrated the NBA for a long time. The NBA has always been the Wild West. In the ‘80s NBA courts might as well have been sprinkled with cocaine as players were infamously doing heavy drugs and the ‘90s should have had bookies double up as refs and coaches … or wait … was that former NBA referee Tim Donaghy’s job? Just this past August, Cleveland Cavaliers’ Delonte West did his best impression of the Punisher as he barreled down a Maryland expressway on a motorcycle with two loaded guns and a shotgun in a guitar case. Los Angeles Lakers’ Ron Artest could keep an entire police department busy with his tomfoolery. From rabidly charging into the crowd during the infamous “Palace Brawl,” to drinking at halftime and numerous assault and battery charges, Artest should change his name to Ron Arrest. At this point maybe there are very few things that can be done to curb unlawful behavior performed by professional athletes. Maybe the NBA should take a page from NFL’s book and do away with guaranteed contracts. As of now, young NBA players are entering the league with contracts that entitle them to millions of dollars no matter what. Sometimes comprehending massive contracts given to professional athletes can be daunting. But NBA players are

Bo Wilson drives to the basket against Floyd Central on Tuesday. He had 14 points in the game.
Greenwave’s holiday season left the team 1-6 during a three-week span By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com The holiday season hasn’t treated the Meade County Greenwave basketball team very well. In the past three weeks the team has gone 1-7 including getting its fifth straight loss on Tuesday night
against the Floyd Central Highlanders, 61-52. “We’ve gotten a ton of experience these last few weeks,” said sophomore guard Cheaney Schwartz. “We’re only 2-11 but in my book I think we’re a little better than that; we’re more like a .500 ball club.” The Highlanders
leaped out to a 9-3 lead, until sophomore guard Bo Wilson scored 11 points — including three 3-pointers — to knot the game at 13. Wilson ended the night with 14 points and two rebounds. Meade County has been scrappy by winning the rebound battle for
the second straight game against a much taller team. The Greenwave outrebounded the Highlanders 31-25 including 21 offensive rebounds. “That was the second game in the row that we’ve done that,” said Meade County head coach Jerry Garris.

Stremme hunts for ride, season news By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week With a new season just around the corner, David Stremme finds himself looking for a ride in NASCAR’s top series. Stremme lost his job at Penske Racing in October. Brad Keselowski will drive the team’s No. 12 Dodge in 2010. The team was top-heavy last season, with Kurt Busch finishing fourth in the Sprint Cup standings, far ahead of 29th-place Sam Hornish Jr. and 31st-place Stremme. With neither a top-five nor top10 finish, Stremme’s dismissal was a foregone conclusion, particularly once Keselowski was added. Hornish had two top-five finishes and seven top 10s. When he joined Penske last year, Stremme admitted that he needed to prove he could compete at the top level. “I need to capitalize on things and move forward,” he said. Stremme, 32, is from South Bend, Ind., which also is the hometown of his predecessor in the No. 12,

From page B1 Ryan Newman. Jeff Dickerson, Stremme’s agent, said recently that “I don’t feel David is going to be left with nothing.” Stremme said, “We’re still talking to quite a lot of people.” Whether Stremme can secure a Cup ride — which appears unlikely, at least with a full-time team — is debatable, but it appears he is entertaining discussions with teams with openings in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck series. Stremme has yet to win in 108 Cup, 133 Nationwide and three Truck races. He earned his way back to Cup — for a year — by finishing 11th in the 2008 Nationwide Series standings, despite competing in only 32 of the 35 races. The Nationwide Series has been kindest to him, with 49 career top-10 finishes as opposed to three in Cup and one in Trucks. After competing in four 2005 races, Stremme was also a Cup regular in 200607. Prior to joining Penske for a year, Stremme competed at the Cup level for Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, a team whose descendant is now known as Earnhard Ganassi Racing. What does Stremme think he needs? “Just time,” he said. “Time on all these tracks is all it is.” Around the Garage EPIDEMIC CLAIMS LIFE OF NASCAR CREWMAN — A familiar pitcrew member, D.J. Richardson, died on Dec. 25 from complications of the H1N1 “swine flu” virus. Richardson, 37, died in a Massachusetts hospital. He was a native of Leominster, Mass. He contracted the H1N1 virus during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Zero From page B1 easily the highest paid athletes on average. An average NBA’er, such as former University of Kentucky player Tayshaun Prince, makes $11 million a year from the Detroit Pistons. Some of the elite players’ contracts skyrocket into $20 million range — not to mention shoe sponsorships and other lucrative ventures. To middle America those numbers are inconceivable, especially considering that Crittenton and Arenas lost a reported $25,000 on a hand of cards — which flared their dispute — more than half the average yearly salary for an American worker. These young men are handed big money with very little consequences. Most of them have misguided backgrounds and have very little sense of responsibility. Maybe knowing their contracts and money are not guaranteed will subside these issues like it has for some NFL players. Michael Vick, for example, will never bounce back from his illegal dog fighting ring. After filing

Brad Keslelowki has a new set of crew chiefs — Jay Guy and Paul Wolfe — for his new stint with Penske Racing. Richardson was admitted to Health Alliance Hospital in Leominster after being diagnosed as suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome. A rear-tire changer on Kevin Harvick’s No. 29 Chevrolet, Richardson had been a NASCAR crewman for 10 years. In addition to Richard Childress Racing, he also spent time at Andy Petree Racing, Penske Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Braun Racing. “All of us at RCR are saddened by D.J.’s passing,” said Richard Childress. “D.J. was a gifted tire changer, one of the greatest team players in the business and a valued member of the RCR family. Our thoughts bankruptcy and spending two years in jail he has fallen from the face of the NFL to a disgraceful bench player for the Philadelphia Eagles. Ask Plaxico Burress how he feels about his future with the NFL, or his pride when he pulled a Cheddar Bob from the movie “8 Mile” and ended up shooting himself in the leg at a nightclub. Burress was made an example by a New York judge and was sentenced to two years in prison. By the time he gets out of custody he’ll be out of his prime with no money and a minor footnote in NFL history. With the omnipresent media placing everyone under the microscope, stories such as Arenas’ can be a good thing. After all the punishment is dished out to Arenas, his professional peers may think twice before pulling out a gun at a club or racing Lamborghinis after a night of heavy drinking. That’s why his punishment should be to the full extent. NBA Commissioner David Stern better use this opportunity to make Arenas an example. At least Agent Zero can be a model to all NBA players because he’s certainly not an NBA hero anymore.
Don’t penalize yourself... Stay updated on all the sports action with
and prayers go out to his family and friends.” KESELOWSKI’S KREW — Penske Racing has hired Jay Guy and Paul Wolfe to serve as crew chiefs for Brad Keselowski’s programs in the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. Roy McCauley, previously crew chief for Penske’s No. 12 Dodge (driven in 2009 by David Stremme), will be moved to a new post within the organization. Guy will head up the Cup team, while Wolfe, himself a former driver, will head the No. 22 Dodge fielded by Penske for Keselowski in the Nationwide Series. Guy was crew chief at

ADVENTURES ABROAD — Four-time World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz won a Dec. 28 race, the Valvoline Australian Sprintcar Grand Prix, at Tyrepower Parramatta City Raceway in Sydney, Australia. Another familiar American, two-time Sprint Cup champ Tony Stewart, finished seventh after starting on the back row in the main event. “I think to finish seventh from the tail (of the starting field) was OK,” said Stewart. “It was a good first
night for me, obviously not as good as my teammate (Schatz), who won the race, but he runs 100 races a year and I get to run three.” Another American, Tim Shaffer, finished third. WHO ELSE? — Jimmie Johnson, already named Male Athlete of the Year by The Associated Press, also earned the Al Holbert Memorial National Driver of the Year award from the Eastern Motorsports Press Association. The EMPA also named Ted Christopher its Richie Evans Memorial Northeast Driver of the Year. Scheduled for induction into the EMPA Hall of Fame in January are Freddy Adam,
Steve Smith, Lou Blaney and Norm Patrick. The longtime publicrelations director at Pocono Raceway, Bob Pleban, earned the Art McHugh Memorial for service to the EMPA.

Slump From page B1 “We’re starting to battle harder. I think if we would have done that earlier in the season we would have a few more wins. But I do like the way we’re starting to compete.” Schwartz led the team with seven rebounds in the game. He also had a game-high 17 points including shooting 3-of-4 from the 3-point line. In fact, the entire Greenwave offense was hot in the first half shooting 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, although the second half shooting tapered off as they only shot 27 percent from the 3-point field. “Our shooters shoot with confidence,” Schwartz said, who went 2-for-2 from the 3-point line in the first half. “We were getting good looks, but in the second half we just quit doing what we did in the first half.” While the Greenwave had troubles making shots, Floyd County scored 24 points off of Meade County’s 16 turnovers. Floyd Central’s center senior Jeffery Thompson, had six straight points in the fourth quarter to put the Highlanders up, 49-43, with 7 minutes left in the game. “We just don’t have the size to match up with a kid who is 6-7, 270 (pounds),” Garris said of Thompson. “We just can’t defend that. We’re doing all we can do. If he wanted to score he was going to and he did.” The Highlanders kept the Greenwave out of reach by extending the lead to 11, 61-50, with a minute left in the game. “We kind of let it slip away a little bit. Part of the problem is we were a little tired
out there,” Garris said, who had four starters play more than 25 minutes. “We have kids playing a lot of minutes. We have to find some rest for these guys.” Sophomore guard Chase Garris had almost 30 minutes of playing time and ended the night with seven assists, two points and four rebounds. Sophomore center Thomas Wilson had nine points and five rebounds, while freshman guard Bryce Garris had five points and four rebounds. Meade County will travel to John Hardin tonight to face the 7-3 Bulldogs. Tip off is at 7:30 p.m. Greenwave lose to No.1 team Last Saturday the Meade County Greenwave lost to the No.1 team in the region, the Muhlenberg County Mustangs, 61-47.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver *It was American humorist Evan Esar who came up the following definition: "Statistics: The only science that enables different experts using the same figures to draw different conclusions." *The Emperor Charlemagne, who conquered much of Western and Central Europe during the first century, had an unusual relationship with his daughters. He refused to allow them to get married, but he evidently had no objections to their forming, shall we say, less formal relationships. He doted on his illegitimate grandchildren and even gave money and gifts to their fathers. *You won't be surprised to learn that the most dangerous device that is common in the modern world is the automobile. You might be surprised to learn, though, that the second most dangerous is the stair step.

*You've probably never heard of Countess Rosa Branicka, but she accomplished an amazing feat. In the mid-19th century, at the age of 63, the wealthy Polish noblewoman became ill. The diagnosis given by experts in Germany was breast cancer, and immediate surgery was recommended. For reasons unknown, the countess declined the treatment, then set about purchasing her own surgical instruments. Once all the tools were assembled, Branicka checked into a hotel in Paris and removed the tumor herself. Reports indicate that she healed well and quickly, and lived to the ripe old age of 82.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make an effort to complete your usual workplace tasks before volunteering for extra duty. Scrambling to catch up later on could create some resentment among your colleagues. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A financial matter could have you rethinking your current spending plans. You might want to recheck your budget to see where you can cut back on expenses until the situation improves. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) One way to make your case for that promotion you've been hoping for might be to put your planning skills to work in helping to shape up a project that got out of hand. Good luck. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful about "experts" who have no solid business background. Instead, seek advice on enhancing your business prospects from bona fide sources with good success records. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Standing up to support a colleague's viewpoint -- even if it's unpopular -- can be difficult if you feel outnumbered. But you'll win plaudits for your honesty and courage. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While progress continues on resolving that recurring problem, you might feel it's taking too long. But these things always need to develop at their own pace. Be patient.
Last Week’s Solutions
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close to you might have a financial problem and seek your advice. If you do decide to get involved, insist on seeing everything that might be relevant to this situation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter takes an interesting turn. The question is, do you want to follow the new path or take time out to reconsider the change? Think this through before deciding. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Moving into a new career is a big step. Check that offer carefully with someone who has been there, done that, and has the facts you'll need to help you make your decision. BORN THIS WEEK: Your warmth and generosity both of spirit and substance endears you to everyone. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

Eagle watch weekends available at four state parks Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — It’s time for nature lovers to make plans for a Kentucky State Park tradition – Eagle Watch Weekends in January and February of 2010. American Bald Eagles will be gathering around the major lakes of Western Kentucky and South-Central Kentucky as they look for food during the winter. Kentucky State Parks will take you there to observe and learn about these beautiful birds of prey. For four decades, the Kentucky State Parks have offered Eagle Watch Weekends, a chance to view the eagles from land and water and learn about the national symbol and other wildlife. “Eagle Watch Weekends are great opportunities for amateurs and experienced bird watchers to see eagles and other animals in their
natural habitat,” said State Park Recreation Director and Naturalist Carey Tichenor. “These are some of the most popular wildlife viewing events that our parks sponsor.” The tours take place at four resort parks during weekends in January and February on an excursion yacht, barges, pontoon boats and by van, depending upon the location and tour. They are led by state park naturalists and Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists. Ticket prices for the tours range from $20 to $55 a person. Most tours last between two and three and one half hours. The weekends also include an evening program on birds of prey. The parks, phone numbers and dates for the 2010 Eagle Watch Weekends are: •Dale Hollow State Resort Park (800-325-2282):
Jan. 22-23; Feb. 5-6. •Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park (800-3250146): Jan. 15-17. •Lake Barkley State Resort Park (800-325-1708): Jan. 29-31. •Kenlake State Resort Park (800-325-0143): Feb. 5-7. Guests should bring warm clothes, rain gear and binoculars. These trips can take place under extreme weather conditions. These resorts offer lodges, cottages, and restaurants. Registration is required for the Eagle Watch Weekends. Call the parks for registration, details and fee information or visit: www. parks.ky.gov and look for “Eagle Watch Weekends.” Guests attending Dale Hollow tours on a barge or pontoon need to bring their own personal flotation devices.
