By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com BRANDENBURG — Kaleb Fraley has accomplished more in 17 years than many have in a lifetime. The summation of the last four years of his life alone was spotlighted Monday afternoon at city hall when Congressman Brett Guthrie, mayor David Pace, judge/executive Harry Craycroft and Fraley’s friends and family joined together to celebrate his achieving the Congressional Award for Service Silver Medal. Since 2005, Fraley has set loftier and loftier goals for himself, has fulfilled them all, and now takes the rank as one of the few

To earn the award, youth must set and meet goals in four program areas: voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness and expedition/exploration. “I first heard about it from my aunt, and then my family really encouraged me to pursue it,” Fraley said. In the volunteer capacity, Fraley spent several hundred hours apiece at both Otter Creek Park and the Meade County Public Library. At the park, he cleared trails,

Meade County doctor one of 1,517 lives lost with the Titanic Museum exhibit provides life stories of those who perished April 15, 1912
Officials stress importance of residents clearly marking their house numbers By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com BRANDENBURG — City council halted any new addressing changes within the city two months ago, until it had the opportunity to discuss problems that have arisen since readdressing began more than a year ago. That opportunity came Monday night when Meade County E-911 Director Mark Bennett and GPS mapping technician Tom Bridge presented information during Monday’s city council meeting. In efforts to get the county E-911 compliant, duplicate road names need to be eliminated and some street numbering of residences and businesses need restructured. Through this E-911 process, Bennett and Bridge are creating a new digital

Unzoned land, water ordinances top agenda at city council Ordinances prohibit illicit discharge into sewer system, soil erosion By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com MULDRAUGH — Mayor Danny Tate informed council members during their regular monthly meeting about zoning issues for property located on the south part of town, specifically property acquired by the city from Fort Knox in the early 1980s. Tate said the property has been sold, and re-sold, and the assumption was the property was zoned, but upon further investigation, no records of property zoning can be found. “We need to zone this property,” Tate said. This property includes Lusk Mechanical Group and Dollar General and some lots of land used for family dwellings, as well as land that had not yet been developed.

Community Briefings New police cruiser hit twice by deer During Monday’s Brandenburg City Council meeting, police chief Jeff Cox said during his report that the department’s new Dodge cruiser was victim to two deer collisions within the last few weeks. Cox said on two different occasions a deer ran into the side of the patrol car. It is undergoing a second round of repairs and will be streetbound again soon. The police department purchased the cruiser a few months ago after an older vehicle broke down. Total H1N1 vaccination tallied by health department During the first three weeks of December the Lincoln Trail District Health Department gave 11,452 H1N1 influenza doses of vaccine in the schools.

Issues From page A1 map of the county which will allow emergency responders — such as ambulance drivers, firefighters and police officers — to immediately and correctly locate a 911 caller, whether the call is made from a landline or cell phone. What has city council members frustrated is the confusion that’s kicked up since the readdressing began. During the last two meetings, council members cited more than one incident in which an emergency responder still was unable to locate a residence. Another setback councilwoman Patsy Lusk brought up at the December meeting, was that her personal GPS system didn’t recognize her new street address. Bennett said the present readdressing is to serve the county map only, and that he has no control over addressing changes being received by major GPS and mapping companies such as Garmin, TomTom, GoogleMaps or Mapquest. Bridge said those companies rely on individual users to report incongruences, and he has reported many himself. “Our goal is for people who need help in the county to ... be able to get it quickly and accurately,” Bridge said. He said he took the job as a digital mapper for the county in July 2009, because he had a personal emergency years ago and during the panic he was nearly unable to remember his own address to direct emergency responders to his home. “After going through that ... I don’t want someone else to have to,” he said. Because the digital map can’t be utilized by emergency responders until it is entirely complete, Bridge and Bennett stressed to

council the importance of residents clearly depicting their house address numbers so emergency responders can read them from roadways. “It’s a dangerous thing ... for an ambulance driver to be looking for your house at two o’clock on a Sunday morning and it’s raining cats and dogs,” Bridge said. Bennett said it’s imperative that homeowners who have been issued a letter by city council stating their address has been changed call their telephone company to report the update. “We can’t report address updates to them, and neither can (council),” Bennett said. Mayor David Pace said council was unaware of that stipulation initially, and will issue new correspondence informing residents that only they can update their address with telephone companies. Bridge said digital mapping is 98 percent complete in Brandenburg. The majority of information needed to fixate businesses and residences on the new map has been provided by Meade County RECC and Brandenburg Telephone Company, though, to ensure some locations were correct, Bridge had to drive to more than 2,000 door fronts of physical structures and pinpoint their locations on a portable computer system inside his vehicle. Once the city mapping is done, attention will be focused on the rest of the county, which Bennett said may be more time consuming because of the rural locations of some addresses, but that it could be easier because the county is gridded off into 1-1,000 of a mile squares that could benefit the E-911 mapping process. Bridge and Bennett sounded hopeful that the digital mapping could be completed this summer. Initial steps of the county becoming E-911 compliant
began in 2006. Also presented during Monday’s meeting was a Christmas by the River report, presented by city employee and event coordinator Amy Haynes. She said donations and sponsorships for the annual holiday light displays were down this year, though 8,985 cars toured the 57 displays over a 37 day span. Donations totaled $2,544.45. Haynes said opening night was the largest she could remember, and more than $330 in donations were collected that night alone. Haynes said Gerry Lynn and city employees worked tirelessly to get the large American flag light display repaired and working this year. The displays will be taken down, Haynes said, when the temperature warms because many of them are currently frozen to the ground. Also during city council: •Police chief Jeff Cox cautioned that burglaries are still occurring throughout the city, and firearms and prescription medications are the targeted items stolen. He said many of the break-ins have occurred during the day when homeowners are working. He urged neighbors to watch out for each other. •Cox also reported the department’s solved case percentage has increased substantially. In 2007, the percent of cases closed was 58 percent, in 2008 59 percent and in 2009 74 percent. Cox commended Brandenburg police officers for their work to close cases. •Council held a 20 minute closed session pursuant to KRS 61.810 Section 1(c), the discussion of proposed or pending litigation against or on behalf of the public agency. After the session, Pace said no action was taken •Council approved a business license for Unleashed Ink, located at 1715 Bypass Road, Unit 1, next to WMMG.

Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon You’ve heard of the generation gap and the gender gap. But have you heard of the “credibility gap” in Frankfort these days? An earlier use of “credibility gap” involved journalists describing former President Lyndon Johnson’s handling of the Vietnam War. Reporters discovered a chasm between what Johnson’s administration told the public about the war in Southeast Asia and reality. But what does a “credibility gap” look like in a state capitol in modern times? Picture this: Governors, House speakers and their big-spending minions running around Frankfort like chickens with their heads cut off, hyperventilating about Kentucky’s budget crisis. Yet, they absolutely ignore — or just simply refuse to make — tough decisions needed to close gaps between spending and revenue. And just so we don’t have a “communication gap:”
payers, guess who gets the shaft? Gov. Steve Beshear’s credibility gap keeps growing, too. Beshear promised during his gubernatorial campaign to conduct “a comprehensive efficiency study of the entire state government.” He quickly added that “other states have done this and they have on average saved about 2 percent of their general fund dollars,” which would amount to “between $150 million and $180 million” for Kentucky. Enterprising journalists and citizen-reporters filed open records requests seeking copies of the study only to find out it doesn’t exist. In the process, another gap — an “integrity gap” — was exposed. If the governor just kept his campaign promise, Kentucky could have closed the current $100 million gap, balanced its budget without the usual Chicken Little-like drama and been on its way toward attacking long-term money shortages. But getting Kentucky politicians to think long-term about anything outside of how fat their pension checks will be after a lifetime of part-time “public service” is
like getting a possessed University of Kentucky basketball fan to acknowledge that any other Kentucky team exists. Frankfort needs policy changes beyond the limited but favored false choices of raising taxes or cutting essential services — arguments with eternal life as long as KTC and its fellow collectivist organizations exist. Instead, Rep. Jim DeCesare (R-Rockfield), identified the real choices: short-term solutions that work for the next election cycle or longterm policy changes that set up Kentucky for economic prosperity. “If we have to suffer shortterm pain in order to benefit long-term, I’d much rather do that than endure a continual repeat of the current situation,” DeCesare said. If enough Kentuckians started acting and reacting with similar thinking, we could close the gap between poverty and promise quicker than the ‘Cats puts away those pesky Cardinals.

Senate to tackle gambling, abortion issues during first GA session of the new year Carroll Gibson Senator’s Update As you read this, the 2010 General Assembly Session has convened. It will be a 60-day session in which our first priority will be developing a budget under serious financial constraints. We will also be looking at pro-life legislation, legislative retirement reform, government transparency, allowing the people to decide on whether they would like to expand gambling, as well as other issues. It promises to be a busy session. We expect a budget shortfall of about $1 billion. Now the Governor has recently stated that this figure is more like $1.5 billion. I agree with many senators and representatives that his figure is overly pessimistic.

Charlotte C. Fackler
The people of Kentucky do not deserve scare tactics but realistic decisions. We must look at the budget soberly, the same way families do. I believe that the Governor is mistaken in his belief that expanding gambling will solve our budget problem. It is the Senate’s position that the people should decide whether or not they want expanded gambling through a constitutional amendment. Now, more than ever, our budget needs to match what our actual revenues are and not what our spending desires might be. I expect to be involved in legislation to protect the lives of the unborn. It is my hope that the House will support the legislation this time, unlike in past years. We need to strengthen our informed-consent statutes. A proposed bill would direct the doctor to offer to make available a sono-
gram picture of the baby to a woman considering an abortion. All patients deserve to have all the facts about a medical procedure before choosing to have the procedure. There is no extra cost since sonograms are already done to gauge the age of the fetus. I will also continue to work toward increasing the opportunities for physical activity for our children during the school day. Data has shown that children who exercise do better in school and there is the added benefit of improved health. We will also be monitoring the implementation of last year’s Senate Bill 1 which replaced the CATS test. We must ensure that our progress in education continues forward. In this vein, the Senate is working on legislation to improve math and science education. In the wake of various
scandals that have erupted involving quasi-governmental entities such as the Kentucky League of Cities and the Kentucky Association of Counties, the Senate will look into their spending practices. Other bills being discussed will strengthen legislative ethics and put all government spending online where it can easily be searched. I look forward to this session and I ask that you call me on the toll-free message line, 800-372-718 with any questions or comments. The TTY message line is also toll-free, 800-896-0305.

When I talk about refusing to make tough decisions, I’m not promoting tax hikes. It’s much easier for politicians to raise taxes in lieu of making tough spending or policy decisions that anger special interests — especially if voters don’t hold them accountable. Kentucky’s leftist “community organizers” default to raising taxes when facing deficits. Lawmakers should ignore groups such as Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, “Taxocrats” whose representatives constantly repeat – as if by rote – that the “top 1 percent of earners” in Kentucky do not pay “their fair share” in taxes but offer no credible data to back up this assertion. Who said top earners do not pay “their fair share?” What credibility do these economically challenged “activists” demonstrate that allows them to credibly determine for the rest of us what “fair” looks like? Many social service agencies depend on taxes for their existence and have a vested interest in sending lobbyists to Frankfort to convince spineless politicians to raise taxes. So when it comes down to survival between lobbying interests or tax-

PERIODICAL POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION
Happy New Year, and may each and every one of you have a very prosperous and rewarding 2010! I also wish you the patience and fortitude needed to withstand the assault that will be made on all of us this year in the name of politics. We will soon begin to see the flood of campaign commercials, mailings, and other advertisements that have become almost unbearable in these election years. Let the mud-slinging and name-calling begin! Of course, much of the mud-slinging that we are about to be subjected to will be done by the different political parties in an attempt to convince us that their candidate is the only one not closely affiliated with the Anti-Christ. As we are all aware, after all, Republicans are all rich bigots that want to starve our children, while Democrats are nothing more than closet communists. Please send your donation to (fill in the blank) to help stave off the forces of Darkness! Does anyone truly believe this ridiculous rhetoric!? Do political parties really serve the needs of the people? The question of the validity of political parties has been debated since the beginning of our Republic. Even the founding fathers could not agree on this issue. While some argued that parties were natural, and necessary in order to present both sides of an argument, others maintained that political parties had a tendency to seek more power than other groups, and take revenge on political opponents. Perhaps the strongest voice against political parties was the Father of our Country, George Washington. Washington felt so strongly that political parties were a detriment to our nation that he chose to mention them in his Farewell Address: “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, is it-

self a frightful despotism ... which results in the inclination of men to seek security in the absolute power of an individual, who sooner or later turns this inclination to the purpose of his own power, to the detriment of Liberty…” What Washington has said is that political parties will only serve to divide the people, and use this division to make them more powerful. Do we really want to give our power to them? All of us have probably had some political affiliation for most of our lives, even though we might not often think about it. We go to the polls and vote for a party because “Daddy did, and his Daddy, and his Daddy before him …” We like to think of ourselves as free and independent citizens, while acting as we are expected to. I ask you this … do we do this because of our values, or in spite of them? I have always considered myself a Republican, but would hope that I would vote for a principled Democrat over a crooked Republican any day. Would I? Would you? What if we were able to vote on a candidate based on their positions, rather than their party affiliations? What if there were no parties? Who would we vote for then? As I write this, the Democrats and Republicans are arguing our future in Washington. Personally, I have no confidence in either side, nor do think that a third party is the answer. Whatever happened to right or wrong? Have we sacrificed our values in the name of compromise and political correctness? Are we so committed to political parties that we have forgotten what our ancestors gave their lives for? I want to hear your thoughts on this subject. Please send me an e-mail. I ask you ... do we need political parties?

‘MAC Attack’ answers community’s Folic acid prevents major birth defects questions about new activity center Melissa D. Phillips, B.S.
Staff Report The News Standard A crowd of Meade County residents gathered to hear a presentation about the future of the Meade Activity Center at the Meade County High School auditorium Tuesday evening. The event — dubbed “MAC Attack” — featured activities and games for students in kindergarten through eighth grade at the high school gymnasium and an informational forum for adults in the auditorium. Jason Sutton, director of community relations for MAC board of directors, played a slideshow to the more than 100 community members who braved the cold to come out and learn more about MAC, and answered questions from the audience. Sutton said the facility is slated to have an indoor pool, basketball courts, walking trails, a full fitness center and Internet access, making it a place for kids and families, as well as single adults. He also said MAC plans to have an event every other month to keep momentum going. Those who wanted to be-

Folic acid is a B vitamin which our bodies use to make new cells. Everyone needs folic acid in order to be healthy. Skin, hair, nails, and other parts of the body make new cells each day. But for women of childbearing age, it is significantly important. If a woman has enough folic acid in her body before she becomes pregnant, it can help prevent major birth defects of her baby’s brain and spine. These birth defects are neural tube defects or NTDs and they include anencephaly and spina bifida. Women need to take folic acid everyday, starting before they are pregnant to help prevent NTDs. These birth defects hap-

pen in the first few weeks of pregnancy, often before a woman finds out that she is pregnant. All women should get in the habit of taking folic acid daily even when they are not planning to get pregnant. For folic acid to help, a woman needs to take 400 micrograms (400 mcg) every day, starting before she becomes pregnant. According to the Centers for Disease Control, birth defects affect about one in every 33 babies born in the United States each year. They are the leading cause of infant deaths, accounting for more than 20 percent of all infant deaths. Scientists are not sure how folic acid works to prevent birth defects, but they do know that it is needed for making the cells that will form a baby’s brain, spine, organs, skin, and bones. Babies born with birth defects have a greater chance of illness and long term disability than ba-
bies without birth defects; furthermore studies show that B-vitamin folic acid can prevent 50-70 percent of the neural tube birth defects associated with these specific disabilities. One easy way a woman can be sure she is getting enough folic acid is to take a vitamin that has folic acid in it everyday. Folic acid pills and most multivitamins sold in the United States have 100 percent of the daily value (DV) of folic acid; check the label to be sure. Another way to get enough is to eat a serving of breakfast cereal every day that has been enriched with 100 percent of the daily value of folic acid. Not every cereal has this amount. Check the label on the side of the box, and look for one that has “100 percent” next to folic acid. For more information about neural tube defects and folic acid, contact the Meade County Health Department at 270-422-3988.

Darren Sipes for District Judge campaign raises over $20,000 in first 45 days Opponent raises just $557 in same period The Darren Sipes for District Judge campaign committee today announced that its official 2009 year-end finance report will show that it raised an impressive $20,280 from over 60 different donors during its first 45 days. Donors consist of both Democrats and Republicans.
Titanic
Sipes’ only opponent in the race raised just $557 over the same period.
From page A1 contested Moraweck’s beneficiary status of the villa in Freiburg, and he may have traveled to Germany because the family threatened litigation. Though, as the biography panel at the exhibit states, he “was not to see this legal battle through, for he perished in the sinking.” Moraweck was passenger No. 507 aboard the Titanic. His body was never recovered. The Courier-Journal reported that Moraweck was one of eight doctors aboard the Titanic, four of which were first-class passengers, two were second-class and two were third-class. Of the eight, only the four first-class doctors survived. He was 53 at the time of his death, widowed with no children. In his will, Moraweck left his worldly goods to his sister, Claudina Coldeweay of Tell City, Ind., and his brother, Alvin, of New York, according to the same CourierJournal article. Two other Kentucky passengers’ stories are also told, in brief, at the exhibit. Charles Hallace Romaine, a described banker and gambler from Georgetown, Ky., and Anderson, Ind., was working in London when he purchased a first-class ticket aboard the Titanic. He survived the sinking of the ship and was killed six years later when he was hit by a taxi in New York. Maj. Archibald Butt was a reporter for The Courier-Journal, hired by the news-
Campaign co-chairs, Linda Walden of Breckinridge County and Nancye Lynn of Meade County, say the total “is an impressive demonstration of widespead grassroots support for electing Darren Sipes our next District Judge. It shows the high esteem people have for Darren, as well as their deep appreciation for his willingness to accept the challenge of stepping up in the cause of public service.” Walden and Lynn point out that the sheer number of contributions demonstrates the professional respect and personal affection life-long resident Sipes enjoys in the community.
paper’s founder, Henry Watterson, before serving as a military aide to Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. He, like Moraweck, died at sea. Museum-goers are issued “boarding passes” at the start of the Titanic exhibit. At the end, they can check the passenger list to see the fate of the person whose boarding pass they were given. Tickets to “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit” are $18 for adults, $14 for ages 2-12, and include admission to the permanent exhibits. Audio tours are available for an additional $5 and the IMAX film, “Ghosts of the Abyss” — featuring James Cameron’s crew steering aquatic robotic cameras inside the Titanic remains — is also an additional $5 per person. For more information, call 502-560-7159 or visit www.LouisvilleScience.org.
The campaign’s Meade County co-chairs are a Democrat and Republican mix: Joe Hobbs, Howard King, and Nancye Lynn. Darren Sipes is running for District Judge, Division 2, serving Breckinridge, Grayson and Meade counties. He has been a practicing attorney for over 15 years in Breckinridge, Grayson and Meade counties. Sipes has been a prosecutor, defense attorney and civil attorney during his legal career and has practiced extensively in the District Court. Darren Sipes is married to Kathy Anderson Sipes, and is the proud step-father of daughters Kristin and Kasey. He is a life-long resident of Meade County, and lives in Brandenburg. For additional information, visit the campaign website at www.DarrenSipes.com, email campaign@darrensipes.com, or call 270-998-0068.
Darren Sipes says the encouragement and financial support he has received over the holiday season and during these difficult economic times is extremely “humbling and gratifying”. Adds Sipes, “I am running because the citizens of Breckinridge, Grayson and Meade Counties deserve a District Judge they will always be proud of, who will always follow the law, never legislate from the bench, and promise to protect the values that are at the core of our community.”
Please note that Darren Sipes is running for Distict Judge in Division 2, (a non-partisan race).
Darren is not running against Division 1 candidate Steve Crebessa of Meade County. *Paid for by Darren Sipes for District Judge; Kathy Sipes, Treasurer

Parents must make time for rebellious teens James Dobson Focus on the Family
QUESTION: Teenage rebellion has hit our home at last. My 15-year-old son’s rotten attitude just went from bad to worse! How do I get him through the “rapids” of adolescence without rocking the boat any more than absolutely necessary? DR. DOBSON: First of all, you need to recognize that the trial you’re facing is “common to man.” Adolescent revolt is hormonally driven and occurs in the best of families. When hostility and rebellion begin to appear, how do you keep your boys (and girls) from blowing up and doing something stupid? I’ve addressed that subject in the past, but let me offer a recent finding that I haven’t shared before. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health surveyed 11,572 teenagers to determine which factors were most helpful in preventing harmful behavior, such as violence, suicide, substance abuse, early sexual behavior and teen pregnancy. Here’s what the researchers found: The presence of
parents is beneficial at four key times of the day -- early morning, after school, dinnertime and bedtime. When that regular contact is combined with other shared activities between parents and kids, the most positive outcome is achieved. The researchers also observed that adolescents who felt a sense of connection with their parents (feelings of warmth, love and caring) were least likely to engage in harmful behavior. Some of my readers might be asking, “How can I be with my teenagers morning, noon and night? I have altogether too much work to do.” Well, you simply have to decide what is most important to you at this time. It won’t matter as much a few years down the road, but your availability right now could make the difference for your child between surviving or plunging off the cliff. QUESTION: I have great fear that my baby will die when I put her in her crib. What is known now about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)? Have researchers figured out what causes these tragic cases where seemingly healthy babies die while sleeping? DR. DOBSON: Sudden infant death syndrome is
still a major concern, killing about 2,500 babies each year in the United States alone. We do know more, however, about the circumstances that are often associated with this terrible event. A study was conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission with the collaboration of researchers at the University of Maryland and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. The results were presented at a meeting of the Society for Pediatric Research in 1996. The epidemiologist who directed the investigation, Dr. N.J. Scheers, said, “We have not found a cause of SIDS, but our results show that specific items of bedding used in the U.S., such as comforters and pillows, were associated with an increased risk for death to prone-sleeping infants whose faces became covered, compared to infants on their sides or backs without soft bedding under them.” It was concluded that babies placed on their stomachs in soft bedding are more likely to re-breathe their own carbon dioxide that is trapped in the blankets and pillows around them. In about 30 percent of the 206 SIDS deaths in
Southern Gospel singers at Bethel United Methodist
the research project, babies were found with bedding pressed against their noses and mouths. Most of them were under four months old and could not extricate themselves. The advice now being offered by doctors is that parents place their infants on their backs, not on their stomachs, and that a minimum amount of loose bedding be kept in the crib. Experts also recommend that pregnant women avoid smoking for a host of reasons; one of them being that prenatal smoking is a major risk factor for SIDS. In addition, secondhand smoke may also put infants at risk for SIDS. For a number of reasons aside from the danger of SIDS, children should not be exposed to smoke. Following this advice won’t eliminate all cases of SIDS, but it could save thousands of lives every year. 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.

The Sheltons, a Southern gospel singing duo, will perform at Bethel tonight at 7 p.m.
Bethel United Methodist Church is hosting a singing performance by a local Southern gospel duo tonight, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. The Sheltons, from Shepherdsville, Ky., are Steve and Mary Shelton, a married couple who began their singing ministry in 2001. According to the couple’s Web site, they had been in a “backslidden” state previously and in 1999 started anew and prayed for guidance. The couple works as a non-profit ministry and is available for concerts, gospel sings and preaching and/or singing in church. They also have a puppet ministry, with four different puppets, for helping with children’s or youth ministry.

As much determination as squirrels Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight As a young boy growing up in the hills and mountains, I loved to squirrel hunt. Especially on an early morning when there had been a slow rain during the night and the tree limbs were still covered with moisture. As those squirrels jumped from one tree to another the rain from the branches would be knocked off and
it was easy to pinpoint not only which tree the squirrel was in but also which limb. I watched one squirrel one morning as it leapt from one high branch to another and as it got nearer, I noticed it appeared to be aiming for a limb that was far out of reach. The squirrel missed its mark, sure enough, but then landed, safe and sound, on another branch several feet lower. It then made a few jumps and climbs and it reached it’s goal As I recall I have seen hundreds of squirrels do the same thing and lots of them
miss what they were aiming for but I have never seen one of them get hurt in trying. I have come to the conclusion that they must take that risk, unless they want to spend their whole lives in one tree. Do you have as much nerve as a squirrel? The greatness of a person is measured not by what it takes to get him going but by what it takes to stop him. Lord give me as much determination as the squirrels have.

Shawn Hughes Jr. Old & New Movie Reviews
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, (2008) This is the movie you’ve heard so much about — the story of a man who ages in reverse. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” begins well, introducing Benjamin and setting up the story for what appears to be a one-of-a-kind, entertaining ride. First, the good points. “Benjamin Button” is a unique setup for a movie, with both a strangely simple plot and incredible special effects. The makeup and special effects departments definitely deserved their three Oscars (Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects and Greg Cannom for Best Makeup). It’s jaw-dropping to watch Brad Pitt as he experiences the different phases of life, all in reverse. This is easily the best reason to see the movie. Another positive point is the almost “Freaky Friday”-like essence of the film, especially at the beginning. Benjamin may appear old and frail, but he is really no more than a few years old, complete with a child’s curiosity and temperament. It’s amusing to see some of the predicaments he gets himself into due to adolescent innocence and ignorance. Now, for the bad parts. Unfortunately, the movie begins to drag after about the first hour. Despite being nearly three hours long, I thought the peculiar plot and special effects would’ve maintained my interest. This, unfortunately, is not the case. In fact, the more the movie progressed, the more the story began to remind me of other, much better movies I’d seen. The movie features a storyline that takes us through every phase of the man’s life, including his involvement with a war, him witnessing several historically significant occurrences (including having a brief affair with Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel), and a certain love-fated woman who keeps popping in and out of his life. Sound familiar? If you’ve seen “Forrest Gump,” then this should all beginning ringing some bells. I don’t think the film wallows in previously used script, but it’s very commonplace in parts. Also, the entire story is told in the form of flashbacks — a daughter reads about it all from a diary in her grandmother’s possession. This technique is very reminiscent of “The Bridges of Madison County,” another excellent movie that “Benjamin Button” seems to draw a little too much inspiration from. For me, as soon as I realized the familiar path that “Benjamin Button” was taking, it all started to get less and less significant. I really wanted to like this movie, but its excessive length and a surprising lack of originality is what keeps it from being better than it could’ve been. As it stands, it’s not something I’d watch again, and I’m not really sure it deserved the Best Picture nomination.
Jennifer Bridge Family & Consumer Science These days, families are spending less and less time together. Family members are spending more time alone or in front of the television or computer. By the end of the day, families may only spend a matter of minutes together and focused on each other. This can be especially true in the winter when it is too cold to play or do outdoor activities. It is time to take a stand and bring the family together. Sometimes, people think spending time together as a family means going out to dinner or going somewhere to do something. This usually means spending money. However, here is an idea that can cost little to nothing and you do not even have
to leave the house. Start the tradition of a Family Game Night in your house. Family Game Night is becoming more and more popular. It is a great way to bring the family back together. To begin having a family fun night all you need to do is buy or borrow games your family can play together. Then make a commitment to each other to spend at least one hour of uninterrupted time. If you can only do this one time a week, then start there. Pick a night when everyone can be home. When that evening comes, turn of the television and the cell phones and just focus on having fun together as a family. Family Game Night provides an activity for families to do to spend quality time together. While playing games as a family, everyone is learning important life skills such as cooperation and teamwork, responsibility, patience and honesty.
Playing games together also teaches understanding and acceptance of both winning and losing. These are all skills we can and should continue to develop, no matter what our ages may be. Playing games as a family will also teach educational skills to the younger family members without them even realizing it. For example, games like Yahtzee™ teach math skills and record keeping. Games like Scrabble™ help children learn vocabulary and spelling skills. Games like Monopoly™ or Life™ help with problem solving and strategy skills. They also help children learn how compromise and learn money skills. Finally, games like Jenga™ can teach young children skills such as hand-eye coordination and concentration skills. Having a Family Game Night even just one night a week will help give children a sense of belonging and connectedness. It provides

Other council members agreed. “If it’s not legal, we need to make it legal,” said councilman Curtis Kelley. Tate also said he can’t find zoning documents for some property on the north end of town either, but recommended taking care of the south end of town first, since doing the two areas together could be more costly. The council also heard first readings of two ordinances regarding storm water sewer system, both of which are necessary to bring the city into compliance with the storm water plan. Ordinance 293 provides for the prohibition, elimination and control of illicit discharges into the storm sewer system and ordinance 294 mandates erosion prevention and sediment control. The first reading of the ordinance was heard and accepted by all members of the council.

I’m so proud.” Next, Fraley said he will continue to pursue the Congressional Award Gold Medal by setting and achieving new goals. He hasn’t seriously thought about what those new goals will be. The Congressional Award has no minimum grade point average requirement, and accommodates young people with special needs or disabilities. It is described as a non-competitive program, but one that challenges the individuals who wish to participate in it.

portion of the award program is designed to serve the community, Fraley said he also learned a lot about himself. Guthrie said Fraley sets an example for all youth and that it’s very exciting “anytime young people can set themselves aside from their peers.” Pace and Craycroft also lauded Fraley for his achievement, stating the community is lucky to have a young person like him within it. “I knew he could do it,” said Fraley’s grandmother, Alice Clark. “We all knew he could set his mind to anything and accomplish it.” Clark homeschooled Fraley from fourth through tenth grade, though now he is a junior at Meade County High School. She said although he was always a quiet boy, he consistently demonstrated a committed
Councilman Ralph Lee took issue with ordinance 294, fearing without specific exemption of gardens within the legislation, that could lead to personal gardens being forbidden within city limits without a permit. He cited section III, regarding permits, subcategory C — “No permit through the city of Muldraugh is required for the following activities: existing nursery and agricultural operations conducted
as a permitted main or accessory use. However, permitting through regional, state and federal agencies may be required.” “But what that doesn’t exclude is (if) someone wants to put out a garden,” Lee said. Tate said the main concern of legislation isn’t with a garden but whether or not the garden causes soil to erode into someone else’s property. Tate said if a garden doesn’t cause soil erosion,
it would, of course, be legal within the city limits of Muldraugh. “But it doesn’t say you can put out a garden,” Lee said. “There should be an exemption.” Tate said that a garden exemption could open to the door to gardens causing soil erosion and that would be illegal. All members of the council, except Lee, voted in favor of hearing and ac-

time for families to interact and listen to each other face to face. Family Game Night can even help parents and teens be more open to talk about problems through the teenage years when most teens pull away from their parents. Get together with your family and start planning your first Family Game Night today. If you need to buy a game, you can get them in the toy section of almost any store. One great idea is to let each member of the family pick out one game they like that everyone in the family will play. That way everyone in the family has a voice in your Family Game Night fun.

FEATURES Happy family of eight in Bullitt County no ‘Jon & Kate’ A9 - The News Standard
Friday, January 15, 2010
A trip to see immediate family members doesn’t take much planning for Lynda Houk. She, her husband and daughter share the same house with her parents, grandmother, sister and niece. Having four generations living under one roof is an arrangement that grew out of a conversation between her husband, Joe, and father, Charley, in 1992. The plan had been to build three separate homes on a 100-acre farm near the Nelson-Bullitt county line. “Joe suggested building just one home for everybody to share,” Lynda said. “We’re very proud of our home, but it’s nothing fancy, and there’s not a single piece of fancy furniture.” Seventeen years later, the unique arrangement is still working well for the Walton-like family, according to Lynda, 44, owner of a nearby business called Gifts Galore & More. Everyone has his or her own bedroom in the 8,000 square foot, two-story home, sitting high atop a hill, and the favorite gathering places are the big kitchen and family room. In summer months, family and visitors like to sit on the two wrap-around porches on

If you think this sounds like an estate for rich people, you’re right. But rich in the blessings that come from being one big, loving family, not from monetary wealth, according to Lynda. “With eight people in our house ranging from 21 to 88, you never know what’s going to happen next. There’s always a story in somebody’s day or something funny or deserving of praise, or something to be taken care of,” Lynda said.
“We scatter to the four winds in the morning, and, praise the Lord, we all come back to the same place at night to share what we have experienced during our time away. Life is an adventure. You can make it boring or you can seek out every tiny little thing and squeeze every bit of joy out of it,” she said Charley Burris, 69, and wife Judy, 67, grew up in Louisville, where they operated a salvage business. The business was extended to Bullitt County in 1979, and in 1982, they became owner/ operators of the Bullitt County Stockyards where Judy ran the kitchen with help from Lynda and sister, Dana, 43.
After selling the stockyards, Charley was retired for a single day before opening a small car lot in Shepherdsville. An ordained minister, he also pastors the 50-member Lighthouse Baptist Church in Louisville. Lynda said she and her sister, an employee of United Parcel Service in Louisville, learned valuable life lessons working for their father. “Dad has always been one to bend over backwards to take care of his customers.

now have a “peanut table” or forbid trading lunches at school. Check your school’s peanut policy before packing your child’s lunch. Theses recipes for Apple Peanut Butter on Cinnamon Raisin Bread and Grilled PB&J Sandwiches are great for breakfast, lunch or as an afterschool snack. Changing the type of bread you use for your peanut butter sandwiches adds variety and more nutrients. Some children prefer white bread, and now white whole-grain wheat bread is available. White whole-wheat bread is made with the whole grain and an albino or white variety of wheat. The albino wheat is lighter in color and has a sweet, mild flavor. You can make the Apple Peanut Butter sandwiches the night before and store them, wrapped, in the refrigerator. Grilled Peanut Butter Sandwiches also make a deliciously easy to make breakfast or snack. Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly 3 teaspoons butter, softened 4 slices whole-wheat white bread 2 teaspoons organic peanut butter 4 teaspoons, any flavor, fruit jelly
1. If using a toaster oven, pre-heat the oven to 450 F. Spread a teaspoon of the butter on one side of two slices of the bread. Spread the peanut butter and then the jelly on the remaining two slices of the bread. Top with the buttered slice of bread, so that peanut butter and jelly are in the middle. 2. If using a skillet, melt the remaining teaspoon of the butter on high heat. Place the unbuttered slice of the bread down in the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes, and then turn and cook the bread on the buttered side until golden brown and heated through. 3. If using a toaster oven, butter one side of the bread and spread the peanut butter and jelly on the other. Toast the slices and then place one slice on top of the other to make a sandwich. Makes two sandwiches. Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of six cookbooks.

Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a lunchtime favorite. Although Dr. George Washington Carver invented more than 300 uses for the peanut, the invention of peanut butter isn’t on the list of his accomplishments. The first U.S. patents for peanut butter were issued to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec, in 1884 and J. H. Kellog in 1897. Edson created his version of peanut butter by milling roasted peanuts between heated surfaces until the peanuts reached “a fluid or semi-fluid state and a consistency like that of butter, lard or ointment.” Health and cereal guru J.H. Kellogg called the pasty substance he created “nut butter.” Making a peanut butter sandwich using organic products is an easy way to create a healthy lunch. Peanut butter contains high levels of monounsaturated fats and resveratrol, which help to protect against the risk of cardiovascular disease. Peanut butter is packed with protein and contains vitamins B3 and E, magnesium, folate and dietary fiber. Recently, there have been some concerns about peanut allegeries, especially among schoolchildren. Many schools

Care for your fruit trees during winter LaRue Co. couple Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources During the winter months, home orchard owners need to protect their fruit trees from rabbits and voles. But hold off on any pruning until after the worst of the cold winter weather has passed. Rabbits and voles injure fruit trees by chewing the bark from the lower trunk and portions of the roots. This damage may kill or severely weaken the trees. If grass has grown up around the base of the trees, it should be removed so as not to provide cover for rabbits and voles. If your trees are mulched, pull the mulch back for five to six inches at the base of the trunk to keep the rodents away. Pick up and discard any fruit that remains beneath the trees to avoid attracting the rodents. Cleaning up fruit from the ground should be a part of annual fall and
winter orchard cleanup. Finally install rodent guards around the lower trunk. These may be plastic wrap guards that are commercially available. Home orchard owners can also construct their own guards using quarter inch hardware cloth. The guards should cover the trunk to a height of 18 inches and encircle the trunk. During the winter months inspect the ground around the trees for tunnels in the grass or holes indicating vole activity. Use snap traps when vole activity is noted. Prior to spring growth, prune out dead and diseased wood. Pruning increases air movement within the tree canopy, potentially reduces pest problems, improves spray coverage and promotes high-quality fruit production. Late February, March or early April usually is the best time to prune. For more information on home orchards, contact your Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-422-4958.

LOUISVILLE — On Tuesday, a LaRue County couple won a national contest for agricultural excellence conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation. Aaron and Ashley Reding of Hodgenville, Ky., won a Dodge truck for being named winners of the annual Young Farmer and Rancher Achievement Award. The Redings represented Kentucky in the contest that involved more than 40 state winners. The announcement came at AFBF’s annual meeting in Seattle. The Redings have a large scale row crop operation and are heavily involved
with various agriculture groups. They are directors of LaRue County Farm Bureau and Aaron is president of the Kentucky Soybean Association. They have three children, ages nine, four and one. The Redings are the second Kentuckians in four years to win the prestigious award. John and Jill Mahan of Fayette County were selected at the 2007 annual meeting. The Redings said they were stunned by the honor. “We are really overwhelmed,” said Aaron. “It is a tremendous honor to compete against top-notch people from throughout the nation. We were stunned when they called our name. We certainly didn’t expect to win.”

Greenwave snap 5-game losing streak against rival Chase Garris drives to the basket on Tuesday. He had three assists and eight points in the victory over Hancock County.
By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com For the last week Meade County Greenwave basketball head coach Jerry Garris has said his team badly needed a win. After getting its last win on Dec. 23, the Greenwave has gone on a five game losing skid. But on Tuesday night Meade County earned its much-needed win when they traveled to Lewisport, Ky., and defeated the Hancock County Hornets, 54-52. “We needed a win,” Garris said, whose team is now 3-11, 2-1 in the district. “It

was a situation where we have played well the last few games and then you look at the scoreboard and it’s the same thing. We get beat by nine or 14 or whatever it is. That’s hard to handle for a kid. We’re doing a lot of good things and they’re not getting rewarded for it.” This is the Greenwave’s second district victory, which keeps them in the hunt for a No. 1 seed in the 11th District. This is also Meade County’s second win over Hancock County, who helped give the Greenwave its first win of the season on Dec. 8.
“To get a district win is gravy,” Garris said. “This keeps our chances alive to get that No. 1 seed. We are still in control.” The win also was important for the young team, which is packed with six sophomores and only two seniors. “This was a huge win,” said senior guard Will Campbell, who had six points and two rebounds. “If we would have lost tonight I don’t know how much we could have taken. This will help us build some momentum into the Cloverport game and then

On Monday night the Greenwave football team held its annual end of the year banquet at Meade County High School. The team celebrated success on every level including a league championship by the freshman team, an undefeated regular season by the JV team and an opening round playoff win by the varsity team. Individual awards were given to defensive, offensive and special team players, while the freshmen team was awarded a plaque for its championship season. Nineteen seniors were also recognized for their dedication throughout the years in the football program. The large group of players helped the team to a 6-6 record which was good for a second seed in the Class 6A, District 2 and a first round playoff win over Owensboro Apollo.

Waves handle 3-week hiatus Road warrior Marcos By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com The Meade County Lady Waves basketball team must feel like it’s going through a second preseason. The team’s last game was on Dec. 23 during a tournament in Tennessee. After purposefully taking off a week after Christmas and a rash of snowy weather that canceled the last two games, the Lady Waves have found themselves with a 22-day break. “In some ways it feels like a second season,” said Meade County head coach Josh Hurt. “The only thing is you have to start out with the biggest game of the year.” The Lady Waves final-
ly played a game when they hosted the Hancock County Lady Hornets last night (game results were not available before press time) in a pivotal 11th District matchup. Hancock County beat the Lady Waves at home on Dec. 17, 54-38. During that game Meade County shot 30 percent from the field including a dreary 2-for-13 performance from 3-point land. The Lady Hornets sit atop the district with a 4-0 record, while Meade County still has a 1-1 record. Hancock County also has played five games since Dec. 23, giving them a region best 12-3 record. Two of their losses came from a tournament in San
Diego on Dec. 28-30. Originally, Hurt planned to play in a tournament before Christmas and then take a break the week after Christmas. He then scheduled two games, Floyd Central and Edmonson County, during the opening week of January. “We had it planned really well,” Hurt said. “We get the Floyd Central game in and the Edmonson County game in then we have a few games to prepare for the Hancock County game. Now we don’t and it’s less than ideal.” The thought behind the planned break was to remain fresh through the

Ambrose has lofty goals By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week Marcos Ambrose’s achievements have been somewhat obscured. Juan Pablo Montoya is in the midst of quite a breakthrough. Drivers with roadracing backgrounds have seldom fared well driving stock cars on ovals, and Montoya made the 2009 Chase for the Sprint Cup. Ambrose is another exroad racer who has shown considerable progress, but his achievements have been overshadowed by Montoya, the Colombian who competed successfully in Formula One before
turning his attention to NASCAR. Ambrose — a native of Tasmania, an island off the southern coast of Australia — drove touring cars in Australia before giving the States a shot. Touring cars are shaped somewhat like American stock cars, but are more technically advanced. In his first full season of Sprint Cup competition, Ambrose finished in the top five four times and finished 17th in the point standings. He finished second in Watkins Glen, N.Y., and third in both Sonoma, Calif., and Bristol, Tenn.

Snap From page B1 into the Breck game.” The Greenwave was in a hole against the Hornets early in the game when Hancock guard Nolan Brown hit three 3-pointers in the first quarter to take the lead 16-10. With 3:20 left in the first half Meade County tied the game when sophomore Chase Garris hit a 3-pointer, making the score 19-19. On the next possession sophomore Stephen Compton hit both of this free throws to take Meade County’s first lead, 21-19, with 2:35 left in the second quarter. Compton played a career-high nine minutes and logged seven points and four rebounds. “I was really tickled for him,” Jerry Garris said of Compton. “His minutes have gone down the last couple games. Stephen was a little bit more mobile and he took advantage of it. That was a heck of an effort by him coming off the bench. We need more of that from him and Wes (Dowell).” Compton is slightly undersized at the post position and has taken some time to get used to the varsity level of competition.
Hiatus From page B1 sometimes-dull months of January and February. “I’ve really enjoyed taking the post-Christmas break,” Hurt said. “I think our kids have enjoyed it. Hopefully this will avoid the late January, early February blahs. I was hoping we were able to avoid that without playing a postChristmas tournament.” “Coach Hurt, being the thoughtful man he is, just scheduled one tournament this year,” said senior point guard Caroline Wilson. “Then we got unlucky and had some games canceled.” Hurt expects the team to have some kinks to iron out after a 22-day break from competition.
“(The game) isn’t as intimidating anymore,” the 6-foot, 165-pound center said. “I’m getting used to being smaller than everyone. It’s one of those things where I just have to play harder.” In the second half, both teams started to warm up and both shot more than 50 percent from the field. Meade County shot 66 percent from the field due to a new offense it incorporated. Steering away from the dribble drive offense, Meade County used an offense that worked Campbell and sophomore Cheaney Schwartz on the elbow. The post players then used cutbacks and screens to get open. “We got away from our dribble drive and went a different route to get into the paint,” Jerry Garris said. “We put a new offense for our big guys. Tonight was the first time we tried it. We were able to get the ball inside and get to the rim. Most of our shots were within 6 or 8 feet away from the goal. That’s what we wanted to do. We did a good job executing.” Schwartz led the Greenwave with a doubledouble, 14 points and 12 rebounds. He hit a free throw with 1:11 left in the game to regain Meade County’s lead, 50-49.
During the next possession the Meade County defense swarmed the Hornets and Campbell came up with the loose ball and sophomore center Thomas Wilson scored a lay-up to extend the lead, 52-49 with 50 seconds left in the game. Thomas Wilson added nine points and five rebounds during the contest. “That was a big play,” Campbell said of his steal. “It was team effort. Any steal is a big play in the game. It turned the momentum to us.” Sophomore Bo Wilson iced the game with 22 seconds left when he hit two free throws and made the game 54-49. He ended up with 10. Hancock County hit a last second 3-pointer to make the final 54-52. “I think we got tough at the right time tonight,” Garris said. “If this game would have been played in early December I don’t think we would have been tough enough at that time. “We got a couple big rebounds tonight and then we got that loose ball in the corner. We were strong with the ball tonight. We also stepped up and made some free throws tonight.” The Greenwave shot 78 percent from the free throw line and turned the ball over only nine times.
“We’re going to have some rust,” Hurt said. “I hope we can execute what we want to do. Hopefully we can make our shots early. I hope it’s not a deal where we’re in a rut for the first few minutes and we’re fighting our way back the whole game.” Wilson, alongside her teammates, is ready to go. “I don’t know if we’ll have rust,” Wilson said, who is averaging eight points a game throughout 12 games. “I think it could go two ways. Either we’re ready to go and excited or we’re kind of slow. Luckily, we’ve been having good practices and we have a good JV team that challenges us.” Converting game speed into practices is always challenging for any team, but Hurt tries to simulate game speed.
“We’ll do full court drills and some different full court stuff,” Hurt said. “We’re not just plain scrimmaging but we are constantly getting up and down the floor without whistles to extend our conditioning.” The most frustrating thing about the extended break, for Hurt, is the team looked very good the last time they played. “The tough part about this is during the Christmas tournament we did some good things,” he said. “Against Paintsville we probably played the best half we’ve ever played since I’ve been here. It was really a phenomenal half. We felt like we were making some progress, and then we’re off for three weeks.” Last year the team experienced a similar winter weather break when the

“Our team’s improved tremendously since Christmas,” Compton said. “We have come together more and we really work hard.” Meade County plays Cloverport Frederick Fraize tonight during the Lady Waves/Greenwave Homecoming doubleheader.

February ice storm hit and Meade County went 12 days without playing a game. “Last year was different circumstances,” Hurt said. “We had an ice storm and people’s electricity was out. You name it and we went through it last year. This year we just had some snow and some games were canceled. We scheduled half of this break. Had the snow not gotten to us this last little bit we would have a few games under our belts before this one.” But the highly experienced team — with six seniors — has been ready for anything this year including beating rival Hancock County. “I think we’ll be ready to go,” Wilson said. “Honestly, we started preparing for the Hancock game the day after we lost to them. We’re going to be ready.”
Caroline Wilson looks forward to getting back on the court.

Australian Marcos Ambrose finished 17th in the Sprint Cup points standings in 2009.
Shooting From page B1 “It was a wonderful year for me,” said Ambrose. “It was a year that was either going to work out how it has, or I was going to pack my bags and come home. “I needed to have a breakout year. When you get to the Cup level fulltime, you really have to make an impression, and I think I did that.” Ambrose said his next goal is “win a race and contend for the Chase.” He hopes his success will draw other Australians to try their hand at NASCAR. “I think raising awareness of Australia and Australian racing in the U.S. is working really well. People are saying ‘Marcos Ambrose ... where did he come from?’ ... Being an Australian in NASCAR has worked out great.” Ambrose stressed,
though, that the transition hasn’t been an easy one. “I took on a huge challenge, and I didn’t expect it to work out,” he said. “As it did, I started to see blue sky in front of me, and I’m just having a good time. “On the race track, it took a lot of time to actually gain the respect from my peers, and I got picked on for quite a while, but was able to hold my own, and I didn’t step out of line too much whilst I was trying to learn and get to the front. ... It hasn’t been any master plan; it’s just been keeping to the fundamentals.” Monte Dutton has covered motorsports for The Gaston (N.C.) Gazette since 1993.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was American cartoonist, humorist and journalist Kin Hubbard who made the following sage observation: "There's no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn't tell you about it?" •Next time you're in Iowa, you might want to stop by the rural town of Riverside, which touts itself as the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk. Yep, the future birthplace. It seems that "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry asserted that the character of James Tiberius Kirk was born in Iowa, but he didn't specify exactly where. In 1985, the Riverside City Council voted to declare their town the future birthplace of the character, later writing to Roddenberry and receiving his approval. In honor of its newfound claim to fame, the city began hosting an annual Trek Fest, complete with a Spockapalooza battle of the bands.

By Henry Boltinoff © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mixed signals could create problems. Make sure your views are presented clearly, and insist others do the same. Don't let an unanswered question go by without a full explanation. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial pressures ease, allowing for more budget flexibility. But as the moneywise Bovine will appreciate, thrift still beats out splurging. Expect news from someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting things done is what you do so well. But be careful not to overtax your energy reserves. Take time out to relax or to do something different to help keep them at optimum levels. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good time to satisfy the Moon Child's growing sense of wanderlust. Choose a really special place to go to, with a very special person to share it all with you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love being in the spotlight. But be careful it doesn't blind you to the truth behind a seemingly wonderful opportunity. Look closer and you might be sadly surprised at what you find. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Isn't it time to take a break from your hectic schedule? Sure it is. And the sooner you do, the sooner you can return fresh and more than ready to take on all those new projects. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A recent family incident can help bring everyone closer, and there's no one who's better at making that happen than you. Accept (indeed, insist on!) help from others to get things off and running. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Long-held habits are often difficult to break. But the change from how you always did things to how you can do them now can be liberating. So, be flexible and give it a try. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone you met in your professional world last year and thought you would never hear from again could make a sudden reappearance in your life, along with an interesting job offer.
Last Week’s Solutions
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Once again, you delight everyone by coming up with a solution for a problem that actually works. On another note, it's not too early to get started on those travel plans. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Before you go ahead with finalizing your plans for your new project, check them over to see if you can make some improvements or if you can find ways to cut costs. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Fabulous Fish might have been out of the social swim for too long, and it's time you plunge back in. Reinforce your old friendships and be open to starting new ones. BORN THIS WEEK: Your creative talents help bring beauty to the world and the people in it. On their behalf, thank you.

Students should plan their financial goals Submitted by KHEAA
Students with jobs are encouraged to set longterm financial goals beyond paying the current month’s bills. The biggest goal should be to save money for retirement. For college students, another important goal is to graduate with as little debt as possible. Financial goals may also include saving for a vacation or a new car. Whatever the goal, have a plan to achieve it. To plan for your financial future, make a list of your short and long-term goals. Estimate how much you will set aside from each paycheck to save for those goals. Make sure your estimate is reasonable. You will have a better idea of how to reach

your goals when you know for how long you will need to save. That may mean cutting back on some things such as dining out or shopping. It might even mean getting a part-time job, if your schedule permits. Remember that how much you earn may affect your financial aid package. Dependent students are expected to be able to use more of their earnings to pay for college because the financial aid system assumes their parents are paying for most of the students’ day-to-day expenses. Whatever your goal may be, you have a much better chance of reaching it if you have a plan in place. To learn how to plan and prepare for higher education, go to www.GoHigherKY.org.

Cold weather may help smallmouth bass fishing Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — The snow blew across much of Kentucky last week, and forecasters predict we won’t crest the freezing mark for a while. While this week’s arctic winds are making life more difficult now, our current conditions should make for better fishing in the future. “This cold snap will help the float-and-fly pattern for smallmouth bass,” said Gerry Buynak, assistant director of fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “Once water temperatures drop below 50 degrees, shad - especially threadfin shad — get stressed and start to die. The float-and-fly presentation perfectly mimics a shad or other baitfish in distress.” The float-and-fly technique requires an 8- to 11-foot fishing rod, and a small craft hair jig or duck feather jig suspended 8 to 14 feet beneath a bobber. This presentation is one of the most effective ways to
catch winter smallmouth bass since the advent of the vibrating blade bait. Smallmouth bass in reservoirs learn to suspend near schools of shad so they can pick off those baitfish struggling to survive the winter. With help from waves on the water or manipulation by the angler, the small jig twitches and quivers almost in place, just like those besieged shad. The cold-water stress on shad will also improve the fishing in the Cumberland River below Wolf Creek Dam at Lake Cumberland. “All of those distressed shad and alewives coming through the dam and into the Cumberland River will help the trout, walleye and sauger,” Buynak said. “The fishing below Wolf Creek Dam should be really good over the next couple of months.” Mother Nature thinning the numbers of shad with this recent cold blast holds another benefit for fishing later this year. When shad numbers contract after a cold winter, the survivors respond with strong reproduction
in the spring. “Shad are very fertile,” said Ron Brooks, director of fisheries for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “They respond and reproduce well after a cold winter.” This means food for predator fish such as bass, walleye, white bass and crappie will be not only be abundant, but also a beneficial size for fish. “The shad will be smaller because there will be many more young ones,” Brooks said. “They are more vulnerable to being eaten when smaller. The predator fish should be in a better condition.” Bass, crappie or other predator fish feed with abandon when they sense conditions are in their favor. That is a good situation for an angler. This may be a good year to pare down the size of your lures in general. Try throwing lures that imitate small shad, such as spoons, smaller lipless crankbaits and in-line spinners. Don’t despair because of the cold. Once nature takes its course, it should make for better fishing later in the year.
The current cold weather may yield good fishing in the near future.

Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife name three new officers Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — Three law enforcement districts within the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources have new commanders. Promotions effective Dec. 16 include Capt. Greg Noel in western Kentucky, Capt. Richard Skaggs in central Kentucky and Capt. Herb Booth in northeastern Kentucky. Each captain will oversee the administrative and operational procedures for their respective districts. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has nine law enforcement districts. “In recent years, the law enforcement division has put emphasis on grooming and preparing officers for leadership positions through advanced leadership development training,” said Maj. Larry Estes, assistant director of law enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “As a result, we now have greater competition for promotions by highly qualified candidates.” Capt. Greg Noel is the
new district commander of the second law enforcement district in the Western Coal Field and Pennyroyal regions of western Kentucky. The second district includes Union, Henderson, Daviess, Hancock, Webster, McLean, Hopkins, Ohio, Muhlenberg, Butler, Warren, Todd, Logan, Simpson and Allen counties. Noel started his career with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife in 1986 as a conservation officer in Union County. He previously served in the U.S. Army from 1980 through 1983. The Shikar Safari Club awarded Noel the International Meritorious Service Award in 1990. He’s received the Mississippi Flyway Council’s Officer of the Year Award in 2005 - 2006 and again in 2007 - 2008. The Kentucky House of Representatives recognized Noel in 2005 for rescue efforts following Hurricane Katrina, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service honored him for outstanding assistance in a major federal case. He also received the 2000 Bud
Reizen Award from the United Bow Hunters of Kentucky. Capt. Richard Skaggs is now the district commander of the sixth law enforcement district in central Kentucky. This district includes Franklin, Scott, Anderson, Woodford, Fayette, Clark, Mercer, Jessamine, Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln, Casey, Madison, Estill, Lee and Rockcastle counties. Skaggs began with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife in 1997 after graduating from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in police administration. He is a graduate of the Southern Police Institute’s Administrative Officer’s Course and currently is pursuing a master’s degree in justice administration from the University of Louisville. Capt. Herb Booth is the new district commander for the eighth law enforcement district in northeastern Kentucky. This district includes Mason, Lewis, Greenup, Bourbon, Nicolas, Fleming, Carter, Boyd, Rowan, Bath, Montgomery, Menifee, Morgan,

Wolfe and Elliott counties. Booth started with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife in 1974 and promoted to the rank of sergeant in 2006 and then to the rank of
lieutenant in June 2009. “These three men have distinguished themselves through years of superior service,” Estes said. “All three have impressive re-
cords and worked to continue their professional growth and development through college classes and advanced law enforcement supervisor training.”
