Officers search for driver who hit student at bus stop By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com The Meade County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate a hit and run accident involving a Meade County High School student who was waiting at a bus stop in Flaherty. According to Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick, the accident occurred the morning of Wednesday,
Jan. 20. A sheriff’s department press release states that witnesses reported a late model red pickup truck turned from St. Martin’s Road onto Frederick Lane. The vehicle went off the roadway and hit the student who was waiting for the bus. The driver stopped to check on the student though he or she didn’t exchange any information and 911 wasn’t called.
Students wait for the bus in Brandenburg early Wednesday morning, a week after a student in Flaherty was injured at a bus stop by a hit-andrun driver. THE NEWS STANDARD/ LAURA SAYLOR
The student, who sustained only minor injuries, reported the incident to the bus driver, and school officials notified the school resource officer. Amanda Richardson, principal at Flaherty Elementary School, said drivers should be more aware of students near roadways during the morning and afternoon hours

New education center offers BRAC-related courses By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com RADCLIFF, Ky. — The former Challenger Learning Center, located on Challenger Way off Hwy. 313, was full of life Friday afternoon after it had sat dormant for nearly a year. The building, which housed space ex-
ploration programs until early 2009, was un-shuttered Friday and now serves as the area’s newest education hub — the Regional Education Center. The center will take on the challenge of preparing the local workforce for the hundreds of knowledge- and computer-based jobs soon to be available at Fort Knox as the Army installation nears the tail-end of its
base realignment and closure (BRAC). At an open house for the Regional Education Center held Friday afternoon, directors called the center the first of its kind in the Commonwealth because of the accessibility and low-cost courses it will provide residents — specifically those in

Winter weather leads to 11 car accidents Tuesday morning By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard
Though not much more than a dusting of snow layered the area Monday night, it’s likely that more than a dozen motor vehicle accidents occurred Tuesday morning throughout the county, due in large part to slick roads. Mark Bennett, Meade
County E-911 director, said the county dispatch center received 59 telephone calls between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. Tuesday, not including radio traffic between firefighters, police officers and ambulance drivers. He said 11 of those 59 calls were for motor vehicle accidents, though it’s likely more occurred and

Community Briefings Riverport authority approves bid During the January monthly meeting of the Meade County Riverport Authority, members reviewed and approved a Kentucky Infrastructure Authority bid for a sewer system, awarding the contract to Phillips Bros Construction of Vine Grove, Ky., who proposed a total of $482,642 to complete the project. Nine bids were submitted and all were eligible. Kentucky miner dies in accident A Bledsoe Coal Co. miner has been killed at the Abner Branch mine in Leslie County. An employee who worked as a continuous miner operator was struck and killed by a rib roll. A rib roll occurs when the coal pillar block, which supports the mine roof, has layers of coal that is divided by a rock seam. When the coal pillar gives way it releases portions of the pillar of coal and rock. The miner was hit by this debris. This is the first minerelated fatality in Kentucky in 2010. In 2009, there were four mine-related fatalities. Assault on police officer results in arrest in Grayson Co. On Jan. 22, Tpr. Norman Chaffins with the Kentucky State Police, Post 4 in Elizabethtown, Ky., and Deputy Robert Jackson, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office, responded to Miller Lane in the Big Clifty area of Grayson County on a domestic violence complaint. A female subject stated that she had been assaulted by Charles Allen. Upon arrival, the officers located the subject hiding inside a vehicle in a small outbuilding near the residence. The subject refused to open the door and made verbal threats towards both officers. Tpr. Chaffins broke the driver’s side window of the vehicle and attempted to restrain the subject. The subject then exited the vehicle through the passenger door. The subject charged Deputy Jackson and refused all commands given to him. The subject struck Deputy Jackson in the face with his fist. Tpr. Chaffins and Deputy Jackson used a TASER and physical force to take the subject into custody. Deputy Jackson and the subject were both treated at Twin Lakes Hospital for minor injuries and released. The subject was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.

weren’t officially reported that involved cars sliding off roads or into ditches. Portions of Hwy. 60 and Hwy. 144 were closed temporarily, as was Payneville Hill, as emergency responders scrambled to clear accidents from roadways. County road department supervisor Mark Popham said crews began clearing and treating roads around 5 a.m. Tuesday. He said the county takes care of named roads and the state highway department is responsible for all numbered roads, such as the ByPass (KY 1051), Hwys. 144, 79, 60 and others. The city of Brandenburg cares for all streets within city limits, except for Old Ekron Road, which Popham said is treated by the county road department. After Tuesday’s mess cleared, road department crews stood guard for the several inches of snow pre-
es. They offer to give a toll free number for technical assistance in exchange for personal information. Brandenburg Telephone Company officials said it’s difficult to identify the imposters because they block their caller identification information. Officials released the following statement: “Do not give out any personal information to these imposters. To identify these callers as imposters get a name and number to call them back. These imposters are inconsiderate and won’t get off the line — hang up on them if you have to.” For more information, contact the Brandenburg Telephone Company office in Brandenburg at 270-422-2121 or 270-5474151. place best agribusiness story; second place with Lindsey Corley for best extended/ongoing coverage story; second place best editorial; second place best spot news coverage; second place best graphic; third place best graphic; honorable mention best spot news coverage; and honorable mention best spot picture essay.

Senator’s Update FRANKFORT — As the Senate continues its work during the 2010 Regular Session, I would like to update you on some of the bills that the Senate has passed in the last few days. To start, we passed a package of three bills to help support our veterans and armed service members. Senate Bill 29 expands the state hiring preference that honors military service. Senate Bill 30 makes military personnel and their family eligible for military assistance trust grants for up to 180 days after the end of their deployment, extending the current time frame that is only 90 days. Senate Bill 31 makes it easier to have medical foster homes here in Kentucky. These bills help make the transition for veterans back into civilian life easier by affording them clearer paths to employment, as well as financial and medical assistance.
Senator Gibson represents the 5th Senate District, which includes Breckinridge, Grayson, Hancock, Hart, Larue and Meade counties.

I had a dream come true on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On Kentucky Educational Television’s “Kentucky Tonight” Monday, I got to promote charter schools that promise to free thousands of students trapped in Kentucky’s failing schools. Pastor Jerry Stephenson, minister of inner-city Louisville’s Midwest Church of Christ, joined me on the program. The church, through its after-school tutoring center, helps poor, black children from getting left behind — many of whom come from homes with a legacy of illiteracy. This church and a handful of others in Louisville operate after-school programs on shoestring budgets but accomplish more than what Jefferson County Public Schools manage to do with a $900-million budget. Also appearing on Monday’s program was Sharron Oxendine, chief “labor boss” at the state teachers union, and Sheldon Berman, JCPS
one with problems Monday. Oxendine became upset when anyone suggests that her union provides an obstacle to improving public education. Just the facts, ma’am: The Fordham Foundation recently reported that Jefferson County has a “highly restrictive” collective bargaining agreement that “makes it difficult for schools to be nimble, smart, flexible, high-performing organizations.” That’s a huge obstacle! On Tuesday, folks in Massachusetts, Berman’s former state, showed they are willing to shake things up. Perhaps Frankfort’s political leaders will do the same with our state’s education system. Perhaps lawmakers will wise up, ignore factchallenged “educrats” and pass charter school legislation. It would make another dream come true: Kennedy’s hope that no child – including those in Berman’s district — gets left behind.

Education bills passed, real work begins with budget Jeff Greer Brandenburg State Rep. Even though we had a short week, because of the Martin Luther King holiday Monday, our days were packed with committee meetings, constituent visits and work on the House floor. A bill that could increase the number of bachelor degree holders in Kentucky by making it easier for students to transfer from the state’s two-year community colleges to its public universities cleared the House of Representatives by a vote of 97-0. Under House Bill 160, credit for certain community college courses would be fully credited to related bachelor’s degree programs at Kentucky’s public universities. Those universities would be prohibited from requiring graduates of ap-

proved two-year programs from repeating courses to earn a bachelor’s degree within their major. The bill would limit the number of required lower-division course credit hours in most state associate and bachelor’s programs beginning in 2012. HB 160 would ensure that students with approved two-year degrees would not have to take additional general education or program-specific prerequisites upon entering a bachelor’s program at one of the state’s eight public universities. The bill would give priority for university admission to graduates of the state’s twoyear public colleges and create a uniform college transcript for Kentucky’s public colleges and universities. It is expected that HB 160 will help the state reach its 1997 goal of doubling its number of degree holders to meet the national average by 2020. We also passed a bill that will give totally disabled
veterans free access to state parks and campsites for up to three overnight stays per yea, subject to space availability. Our veterans sacrifice so much for our country and my colleagues and I are proud to give them this opportunity. On Tuesday, Governor Beshear delivered his budget address to both the House and Senate in the House chambers. His approach to balance the biannual budget is to pass legislation allowing video lottery terminals at Kentucky racetracks. The General Assembly has indicated it is looking at other avenues to address the budget shortfall. Now the real work begins as we meet with staff and our budget experts to craft a document that keeps services and programs operable. In an effort to recognize the terrible strife being endured by the people of Haiti, the House of Representatives vowed to join John Calipari, coach of the University of
Kentucky basketball team, in his “Hoops for Haiti” fundraising effort which began this weekend and has already brought in over $1 million. Coach Calipari was honored by the Kentucky House of Representatives who promised to raise $10,000 in the next few days for the relief effort.

tricts in 2005, and the trend for charters was improving. Berman’s flip-flopping — he supported charters before he opposed them — reminds me of one of his fellow Bay Staters who once claimed he was for the war before he was against it. Berman should have stuck to the facts Monday. Instead, he claimed — on the King holiday no less: “The data on charter schools is that it’s truly a failed reform, particularly for African-American students, particularly for low-income students.” Talk about sacrilege. The majority of the 1.5 million enrolled in the 5,000plus charter schools nationwide is minority students or those who come from lowincome households. And recent reports show that those heavily minority charter schools outperform regular schools in places such as Boston and New York City. Many of these students — the kind Stephenson and his fellow ministers help — fall through the cracks of the one-size-fits-all public education system that badly needs to become more than just a tired monopoly that breathes a sigh of relief when real reform gets stymied. Berman wasn’t the only

The Senate also passed Senate Bill 1 unanimously this week. SB 1 is legislation that requires the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to recognize hospitals that have received primary stroke center certification from a nationally-recognized organization that provides disease-specific certification for stroke care. Kentucky is one of 12 states in the “stroke belt,” which contains the nation’s highest rate of strokes and highest mortality rates. It is important that we make sure that Kentucky residents know where the nearest primary stroke center hospital is in case of emergency. This week the Governor also introduced his proposed state budget for the next two fiscal years. Although the Governor’s initial budget is unrealistic, we will work with the House of Representatives to build a responsible budget for our state in the coming weeks.

superintendent. Berman gets a six-figure, taxpayer-funded salary to ensure the 98,000 students in the commonwealth’s largest school district become prepared to further their education and compete in a global, information-age workplace. But on “Kentucky Tonight,” he opposed charter schools, an idea proven to accomplish just that. Berman berated charters, calling them a “failed reform” in Massachusetts, where he previously worked. On Monday, he claimed only two Massachusetts charter schools really performed well. Perhaps he had a “bureaucrat moment.” At the very least, he’s slightly confused. Berman co-wrote a report on charter schools in Massachusetts and even told the Boston Globe “What we’re saying is it’s possible to have public schools and charter schools stand side by side and learn from each other.” Berman’s previous honest praise for charters was — and remains — supported by the facts. The Massachusetts Department of Education reported that 30 percent of charter schools outperformed schools in same dis-

It would be difficult to shed a disparaging light on the new Regional Education Center in Radcliff; it’s foremost objective is to fine-tune local residents into federal government-worthy job applicants. The center is an excellent addition, and will hopefully be put to good use by many Meade County citizens, however, one key concern may have been left in the dark as the Human Resource Center of Excellence nears completion. The opportunity for Meade, Hardin, Grayson and Breckinridge county workers to jump onboard on post may not have been able to come at a better time. These federal job positions will offer the competitive pay, health insurance and retirement packages that are scarce to come by these days. But what about the local employer who loses his or her staff to these high-paying, benefit-soaked jobs? Years ago, initial discussions about BRAC included conjoint efforts to replenish the job vacancies regional businesses will surely endure once the hiring process on post begins en masse. But these discussions, unfortunately, must have tapered off a long time ago. An employer can’t blame a staff member for bettering himself or herself by pursuing a step up with a federal government job, but what an employer can blame is a far-reaching oversight throughout the entire BRAC process. While Fort Knox is and always has been nothing shy of an artery of revenue and exposure for rural Meade County — making it, of course, one of the best neighbors a farming community could have — someone needs to be looking out for our small business owners.

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
One of the largest turnout’s in recent months for a Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon took place Jan. 21 at Doe Run Inn, the business sponsor for the month. Doe Run Inn owner Jim Greer introduced the restaurant’s new chef, Bret Donaldson, to the fullhouse crowd and also gave a list of updates and improvements that have occurred at the inn over the last few months. Attention then steered toward the Meade Activity Center (MAC) — a hot topic since plans for the potential new health facility were made public nearly a year ago. John Beavin, MAC chairman, and Jason Sutton, who heads community relations on the MAC committee, were on-hand to provide information and entertain questions about

Meade Activity Center chairman John Beavin answers questions about the potential new facility at January’s chamber of commerce luncheon held last week. the project. After a brief slideshow presentation, Sutton and Beavin both shed light on numerous questions from those in attendance, such as how much the facility will cost, where it will be located, who will pay for it, who will own it and what types of amenities it will include.
Sutton said the center will be owned by the Meade Activity Center, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and preliminary plans show the center offering an indoor pool, exercise equipment, a basketball court, a walking track, an aerobics room and a community room that can be rented for public use.
Starting 2nd Shift CHILD CARE
Specific details about size, cost and location are aren’t solidified yet because, Sutton said, the project is being steampowered by the community. “We want to see what the community wants first,” he said. Beavin said the MAC committee’s goal is for the center to be publicly funded and supported by memberships. A MAC Gala will be held Feb. 9 at the Meade County Farm Bureau building as a way to garner support for the unfolding project. PGA golfer Kenny Perry will be the keynote speaker. Sutton said more than half of the tickets for the gala are already sold.

Heslep announces his run in sheriff’s race Submitted press release
Stan Heslep proudly announces his candidacy to run in the Democratic primary for sheriff of Meade County. Stan grew up in the Flaherty area of Meade County. He is a 1965 graduate of Flaherty High School. He married Brenda Kaye Nall in November 1966. They have two daughters, Kimberly, married to Garry Hicks, and Christie, married to Mark Board, and have four grandchildren: Logan Hicks and Jarrett, Ryleigh, and Braydin Board. Stan and Brenda reside on the family farm in Buck Grove. Stan is a U.S. Army combat veteran of the Vietnam War. He owns C & S Pumping, and has just recently retired with more than 29 years as a civil service employee of the U.S. Army. Stan’s police experience spans 40 years which began right after high school when he went to work for the FBI Laboratory in Washington, D.C., as a photographic assistant. Stan returned to Meade County in 1966 and started work with the Kentucky State Police at the Elizabethtown Post as a police
dispatcher. He was drafted into the Army in 1967 and served as a military policeman at Fort Knox and the Republic of Vietnam until 1969. Upon return to Meade County, Stan entered the Kentucky State Police Academy as a cadet trooper and graduated in December 1969. He worked as a trooper and a state boating officer until 1978. Beginning in 1978, Stan served as a Meade County deputy sheriff under three sheriffs; this association spanned almost 30 years. During this same time, he worked as the crime prevention officer for the Fort Knox military police from 1984 to 1993, with Fort Knox being nation-
ally recognized three years running as one of the best crime prevention programs in the nation. Stan also worked for Radcliff, Ky., and Vine Grove, Ky., police departments during the late 1980s and early 1990s where he was able to gain valuable experience in community policing. While working at Fort Knox, Stan supervised a 60-man disaster response team that worked to support FEMA in response to four hurricanes that impacted Florida in 2004. His team was deployed to the Mississippi Gulf Coast prior to arrival of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to be in place to provide Department of Defense emergency response and recovery support to the area after the hurricane’s landfall. Stan’s most recent experience with the Army has been the mobilization training of Reserve and National Guard Soldiers to prepare them for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Stan feels that his extensive police and military training background and well-rounded experience in all elements of policing, emergency preparedness and community ser-
Governor releases comments on one-year anniversary of ice storm Submitted by the Gov.’s Communication Office
FRANKFORT — On Wednesday, Jan. 27, Governor Steve Beshear released the follow statement, marking the one-year anniversary of the 2009 ice storm: “One year ago today, our citizens endured the worst natural disaster in our state’s modern history — a devastating ice storm that toppled trees, damaged property and left hundreds of thousands of families without power in the coldest days of the winter.

For more than 22 of his 27 years of legal experience, David has served as a prosecutor: first, as assistant county attorney and then as assistant Commonwealth’s attorney. Williams served as Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney for 18 years. As an assistant county attorney serving Grayson County, David handled misdemeanors and prepared cases to be sent up to the circuit court. As assistant Commonwealth’s At-
needs were great. Families needed more than just food and shelter; they needed the reassurance that things would eventually be all right. In my travels around the state in those terribly cold days that followed, I was heartened and proud of the way Kentuckians responded. Strangers opened their homes to neighbors in need. Students checked on the elderly. Churches and community centers served up hot meals to all comers, and emergency responders and utility workers toiled
around the clock to restore much-needed power. We lost 36 Kentuckians as a result of the ice storm. Without the steady work of state and local emergency workers and volunteers, the number undoubtedly would have been higher. We owe them our thanks for their tireless efforts. In the midst of tremendous hardship, our true character as Kentuckians was revealed. On this anniversary of a terrible disaster, I commend our citizens for their resiliency and spirit.”

As Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney, Williams has prosecuted cases involving murder, child molestation, rape, burglary, arson, drugs and more. Williams commented that he is not a politician but he is a citizen of the Commonwealth of Kentucky who is interested in protecting the safety and security of our communities. David stated that he had worked well with law enforcement officials and would always be available to advise all law enforcement officers on issues re-
lated to the fulfillment of their duty. “My goal as Commonwealth’s Attorney is to protect and serve the citizens of Meade, Breckinridge, and Grayson counties by being firm, independent, and fair in the prosecution of the criminals who threaten the safety of our communities,” Williams commented. “I hope to see as many people as possible but, with three counties, that will be difficult. “I welcome anyone with any thoughts or comments about my campaign to contact me by phone (270-2596362) or stop by my office in Leitchfield.” Williams will be running on the Republican ticket.

Children deserve quality, quantity time with parents James Dobson Focus on the Family
QUESTION: I have very little time to spend with my children these days, but I make sure the hours we do get to spend together are meaningful. Do you agree that the quality of time you are with your kids is more important than the quantity? DR. DOBSON: I’m afraid the logic of that concept is flawed to me. The question is: Why do we have to choose between the virtues of quantity versus quality? We won’t accept that forced choice in any other area of our lives. So why is it only relevant to our children? Let me illustrate my point. Let’s suppose you’ve looked forward all day to eating at one of the finest restaurants in town. The waiter brings you a menu, and you order the most expensive steak in the house. But when the meal arrives, you
see a tiny piece of meat about one-inch square in the center of the plate. When you complain about the size of the steak, the waiter says, “Sir, I recognize that the portion is small, but that’s the finest corn-fed beef money can buy. You’ll never find a better bite of meat than we’ve served you tonight. As to the portion, I hope you understand that it’s not the quantity that matters, it’s the quality that counts.” You would object, and for good reason. Why? Because both quality and quantity are important in many areas of our lives, including how we relate to children. They need our time and the best we have to give them. My concern is that the quantity-versus-quality argument might be a poorly disguised rationalization for giving our children — neither. QUESTION: My wife and I have two very strong-willed kids who are hard to handle. They seem to need to test us,
and they’re the happiest and most contented when we are the toughest on them. Why do they insist on making us growl at them and even punish them more than we’d like to? DR. DOBSON: It is curious, isn’t it, that some children seem to enjoy fighting with their parents? It’s a function of the pugnacious temperament with which they are born. Many kids just like to run things and seem to enjoy picking fights. There is another factor that is related to a child’s sense of security. Let me illustrate it this way. Imagine you’re driving a car over the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, which is suspended hundreds of feet above the canyon floor. As a first-time traveler, you’re pretty tense as you drive across. It is a scary experience. I knew one little fellow who was so awed by the view over the side of the bridge that he said, “Wow, Daddy! If you fell off of here, it’d kill you constantly!”
Now suppose there were no guardrails on the side of the bridge. Where would you steer the car? Right down the middle of the road. Even though you don’t plan to hit those protective railings along the side, you just feel more secure knowing that they’re there. It’s the same way with children. There is security in defined limits. They need to know precisely what the rules are and who’s available to enforce them. Whenever a strong-willed child senses that the boundaries may have moved, or that his or her parents may have lost their nerve, he or she will often precipitate a fight just to test the limits again. They may not admit that they want you to be the boss, but they breathe easier when you prove that you are. QUESTION: What do you think of the phrase “Children
Being forced into action can make us realize our abilities Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight A fire started on some grassland near a farm. The county fire department was called to put out the fire. The fire was more than the county fire department could handle. Someone suggested that a nearby volunteer bunch be called. Despite some doubt that the volunteer outfit would be of any assistance, the call was made. The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fire truck. They rumbled straight towards the fire, drove right
into the middle of the flames and stopped! The firemen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the center of the fire, breaking the blaze into two easily controlled parts. Watching all this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fire department’s work and was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the spot he presented the volunteers with a check for $1,000. A local news reporter asked the volunteer fire captain what the department planned to do with the funds.
“That ought to be obvious,” he responded, wiping ashes off his coat. “The first thing we’re gonna do is get the brakes fixed on our fire truck!” How many times have we looked at a situation thinking that there is nothing we can do about it? Sometimes it is only when we are forced into action do we realize what we are capable of doing. The next time you are faced with something you think you can’t do anything about, jump right in there. You never know what you can do until you try. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.
A gift that comes without regret Dan Newton Divine Guidance 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (NASB). Each year, organizations compile their lists of the various individuals and corporations who made the largest contributions to charity during that year. Often, the dollar figures given in these reports are staggering. For example, in 2003 alone, the chairman of one computer company donated more than $673 million; the chairman of a financial company donated more than $409 million; the chairman of a communi-
cations company donated more than $141 million; and the chairman of an Internet company donated just a little more than $80 million. Now, without taking anything away from these incredibly generous individuals who gave these millions out of a genuine desire to help others, it is a bit easier to part with all this cash if you are the head of a profitable corporation with a net worth in the mult-billion-dollar range. It is much harder to part with when you have a net worth in the single digit range and you’re not sure there will be enough money to even get through the next week. The amazing thing is that God doesn’t really care about how much money you give or even how often you give it. What he truly desires is that you trust in His grace and provision for
your life, not in your own means. He wants you to give without regret, without worry, and without wondering if you will “get it back“ somehow. For it is only when you let go and put your financial security in the Lord that He can truly bless you. Your name will probably never appear in the paper because of your consistent, dedicated or self-sacrificing giving. But be assured that no act of kindness or giving will go unnoticed by your Heavenly Father. 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.
Bible Trivia By Wilson Casey
1. Is the book of Lot in the Old or New Testament or neither?
of Herod, who had John the Baptist beheaded? Pilate, Laban, Herod, Antipas
2. From what book does a woman call on the north and south wind to blow on her garden? Proverbs, Daniel, Hebrews, Song of Solomon
4. Who said in Deuteronomy 6, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord”? Moses, Joshua, David, Jacob
3. What was the last name
5. From Exodus 16, what bird served as food for the Israelites in the wilderness?
should be seen and not heard?” DR. DOBSON: That statement reveals a profound ignorance of children and their needs. I can’t imagine how any loving adult could raise a vulnerable little boy or girl by that philosophy. Children are like clocks, they must be allowed to run!

From page A1
shine in ‘Shining’
Shawn Hughes Jr. Old & New Movie Reviews
The Shining, (1980) After viewing this film for the first time, I was nothing short of amazed. This movie is pure psychological horror at its absolute finest, and Stanley Kubrick’s film direction and unique camera angles only help to further immerse you in the captivating performances of the lead actors. “The Shining” is about an author who accepts a job as caretaker of a ski lodge in Colorado during the off season. He, his wife and his little boy are the only people in the lodge throughout the entire winter season, October to May. They are in complete and utter isolation, so the author — by the name of Jack Torrence, played by Jack Nicholson — finds it would be a great opportunity to work on a new novel. This is the setup for “The Shining.” Isolation and its obvious effects play their part in the story, but to make matters worse, Jack is a recovering alcoholic in a lodge with no alcohol. The story unfolds from there in what you may call typical Stephen King fashion. There isn’t much plot detail else I can delve into without spoiling everything. Without a doubt, the highlight of the entire movie is Jack Nicholson’s performance. During one scene in particular, he delivers a chilling monologue that sent shivers up and down my spine. Nicholson has such a distinctive face and very expressive eyes (and eyebrows) which pair well with his phenomenal acting, making you wholly believe in his character. You aren’t watching Jack Nicholson playing a role in a movie, you’re watching Jack Torrence fall apart. There were several uncomfortable moments during his performance where I caught myself fighting back a gasping laugh — not because he did something funny, but because I was so dumbfounded by the brilliance of his character. If it weren’t for Nicholson in the role, this would honestly just be a pretty mediocre horror film; but with his performance and Kubrick’s unique way of presenting it, it’s no wonder this film has earned its place as one of the greatest films of all time. Having discussed the greatest aspect of this movie, there are still a few more things to mention. I felt a few minutes could’ve been shaved from the first half of the movie, especially around the second quarter or so where it really starts to get a little droll. But once the movie starts picking up, it manages to stay in a constant state of tension and wonderment — an odd mix, to be sure, but it all works out wonderfully. There’s plenty of self-examination going on here, and for those skilled at reading between the lines, one can start to see exactly how the wheels turn inside Jack Torrence’s deluded mind. If you haven’t seen this movie, don’t deny yourself the pleasure any longer. Note: Just for the record, I haven’t read Stephen King’s book, which the movie is an adaptation of, so my review is based solely on my first experience with this story is from the movie, without any preconceived notions of plot to distort my initial reactions.
Try fun family exercises at home to stay active during the dreary winter months Carole Goodwin 4-H & Youth Development
The winter months bring fewer hours of daylight, colder temperatures and more wet weather. Couch potato syndrome is on the rise which means getting the proper amount of physical activity may require creative thinking, especially for children not involved in school sports programs. Children should engage in at least one hour of physical activity every day. This does not have to happen all at one time. Just 10 minutes of physical activity can result in health benefits. Three types of exercise: aerobic activity, muscle strengthening and bone strengthening are important for health in growing children. Physical activity can be a combination of any of these three. The greatest part of the exercise hour should be spent doing aerobic activities which involve moving lots of muscles at one time. Running, brisk walking, biking and swimming activities include choices to get the heart rate up and the body moving. Muscle strengthening activities include exercises such as pushups and sit ups. Bone strengthening exercises focus on putting a little pressure on bones and may include stair climbing or lifting and carrying. A good goal for children is to participate in these activities at least three days a week. Even when the weather outside is frightful, children can still get the physical activity they need. Using things found in and around the home can provide opportuni-
NOW HERE’S A TIP! By JoAnn Derson
•“Here’s how to keep pet hair out of drains when bathing pets indoors, which is something we have to do when the weather is cold. We find that a wad of steel wool pushed into the drain will catch all the hairs. It’s easy to remove the whole thing. I place it in a dish to drain, and when it’s dry, I can just shake the hairs into the trash. I save it in a zipper-top bag for just this purpose, as it can be used over and over again.” —R.G. in Michigan
ties for family fun and exercise. Here are some indoor activity ideas along with the appropriate age for participants: Stair climber For ages six and up. All you need is a set of stairs and a stop watch. Take turns to see how fast you can get up the stairs and back down. Challenge family members to beat the fastest time. Pushup Challenge For ages 5 and up. See who will be the pushup champion of the week. Challenge one another to see who can do the most pushups in one minute from week to week and you will be amazed at the increase of strength in the whole family. This also works with sit ups or crunches. Chinese Jump Rope For ages six and up. Using basic materials this game is fun for everyone. Tie a rope around the legs of two chairs set approximately four feet apart. Take turns jumping into and out of the ropes between the chairs. After everyone has a turn, raise the rope up a little bit. Start with easy combinations such as jumping in and out of the ropes, and then let everyone make up a different pattern. Some examples: two feet jump ropes, and then let everyone make up a different pattern. A good exercise program is not only important for the physical health of growing children, but it also can be a positive motivator that boosts our moods and energy levels during a traditionally less active time of year.

Hardin, Meade and neighboring counties. Four post-secondary education institutions and two training providers will operate out of the Regional Education Center, and many of the courses they’ll offer will correlate with BRAC job opportunities. “Today we are making history,” said Radcliff mayor Sheila Enyart. “We are responding to the needs of area residents, our employers and education and training providers in a new and unprecedented way.” Lindsey Wilson College, Midway College, Sullivan University, Webster University, Tandem Solution, and McConnell Technology and Training Center will all operate out of the Regional Education Center. Because the six entities will share classroom space, equipment and some staff, courses are able to be offered at low costs. Enyart said the endeavor is made possible through the joint efforts of those learning institutions, the city of Radcliff — which owns the building — and the North Central Education Foundation.

THE NEWS STANDARD/LAURA SAYLOR
During an open house held Jan. 22, Radcliff mayor Sheila Enyart comments on the partnerships that have made the Regional Education Center possible. rector of the North Central Education Foundation, said the center is one way of achieving the governor’s goal of upping Kentucky’s education standards. “Never has higher education been more affordable or more accessible,” he said. Col. Mark Needham, special assistant to the governor for BRAC activities and former garrison commander of Fort Knox, said the new center will change education standards in the region “dramatically” — a necessary step in producing a local, viable workforce because “the transformation at Fort Knox is nothing short of amazing.” “If there’s one thing we
have to get right in Kentucky, it’s education,” Needham said. Representatives from the four colleges/universities and two training schools all gave remarks about their respective institution’s history and purpose; most hope to have courses up and running sometime in the spring.

NEWS Winter weather safety tips for seniors
The News Standard - A9
Friday, January 29, 2010
Jennifer Bridge Family & Consumer Science Winter weather emergencies can be difficult for many older Kentuckians. Senior citizens should consider safety concerns, including falling, hypothermia and frost bite, before venturing out in bad weather. Many seniors have medical conditions that require treatment. They may run low on medicine or have no way to get to their family doctor. In the event of a medical emergency, call 911 first. Some pharmacies may deliver medications, even in bad weather. Call your pharmacist or physician with questions about medications. When ice and snow are on the ground, older adults who go outside should practice extreme caution. Roads, sidewalks and steps could be slick and hazardous. If you have to venture outdoors, try to avoid walking on icy or snow
covered sidewalks. Wear boots with non-skid soles and keep your driveway, sidewalks and front steps shoveled and salted to help prevent falls. Those with a heart condition, osteoporosis or trouble with balance may want to hire someone to shovel for them as these conditions can be aggravated by overexertion. If you have to drive, make sure your car is winterized with antifreeze, good tires and windshield wipers. Check weather reports before leaving and try to avoid icy roads, overpasses and bridges. Drive slow and with extreme caution. If you have a cell phone, take it with you and be sure to tell a family member or neighbor where you are going. Carry emergency supplies, including a first aid kit, blankets, extra clothes, boots, windshield scrapers, sandbags, jumper cables, water, dried food and a flashlight. If possible, avoid driving altogether and rely on a family member, friend or neighbor to help you. Extremely cold temperatures increase the chances of hypothermia and frost
bite. Know the warning signs. Warning signs of hypothermia include shivering; cold, pale or ashy skin; feeling tired, confused or sleepy; feeling weak; problems walking; slowed breathing or heart rate. Frost bite warning signs include discolored skin including red, white, ashy or grayish-yellow. The skin may also feel waxy or numb. If you experience any of these conditions, seek medical attention immediately. It is best for older adults to stay indoors at a temperature of at least 65 degrees, but if you must go outside, be sure to wear several loose-fitting layers of thin clothing along with a hat, gloves, coat, boots and scarf, and do not stay in the cold or wind for very long. Shivering is a warning sign the body is losing heat. If you start to shiver, go inside! Keeping warm inside the house can be hazardous too. Fireplaces and wood and gas stoves must be properly ventilated to prevent dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide, a deadly
gas that cannot be seen or smelled, from leaking. Kerosene and electric heaters are also potential fire hazards. Be sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors work properly, and have your fireplace and wood stove chimneys inspected. Crack a window when using a kerosene heater, and keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from objects. Keep a working fire extinguisher in the home, and never heat a home with a gas stove, charcoal grill, or other item not intended for home heating. Winter weather can be extremely hazardous and challenging for older adults. Community members, neighbors and loved ones should be sensitive to their needs, especially if their area loses electricity. More information on handling winter weather emergencies is available at the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270422-4958. Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

Miss a week, miss a lot.
By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com Nina Chism of Brandenburg recently won a free labor contest sponsored by Heath Construction and Fusion Tan in Brandenburg and started off the new year with a newly remodeled bathroom. Kenny Heath, owner of Heath Construction, said close to 50 people entered the contest, the first one of its kind by Heath Construction, by filling out a form either at Fusion Tan or at First Federal Bank. “Times are rough,” Heath said. “I’m sure everybody’s got something they want to change about their house.” Chism’s winning entry allowed her the choice of one room remod-

The whole project took about a week and a half of work, done over the span of three weekends. “She seemed very happy with her transformation,” Heath said. The contest is something Heath hopes to continue, either once a year or once every two years.

SPMS academic team advances to regionals By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com Seventeen seventh- and eighth-grade Stuart Pepper Middle School students traveled to Cloverport, Ky., last weekend where they competed in the Governor’s Cup district 13 competition and finished, as a team, in second place. Individuals vied for first place in six categories — mathematics, science, social studies, language arts, composition and arts and humanities — by completing written assessment exams. As a team, the students competed in “Quick Recall” — an event that encourages students to answer questions quickly
and correctly — and “Future Problem Solving,” which asks to children to demonstrate an awareness of the future and creativity in their detailed answers. SPMS’s “Future Problem Solving” team placed second at Saturday’s competition. Team members were Cassidy Adams, Adrienne Poole, Tabitha Thomas, Katelyn Allen and Cova Haynes. SPMS also won second place as a whole during the “Quick Recall” challenge. Individual winners were: Jessa Pollard, fifth place in mathematics; Jessa Pollard, fourth place in science; Cova Haynes, first place in composition; Emma Bell, fourth place in composition; David
Hale. second place in social studies; David Hale, fourth place in arts and humanities; and Annie DeVries, fifth place in arts and humanities. At the end of the day, SPMS tallied 26.5 team points, earning the silver finish. Breckinridge County Middle School claimed first with 60 points, St. Romuald School was third with 23 points, Frederick Fraize Middle School was fourth with 12 points and West Point Elementary School placed fifth with 1.5 points. Becky Hacker, seventh grade science teacher and SPMS Governor’s Cup Team advisor, is proud of the middle school participants and looks forward to
the regional competition to be held Feb. 13 at J. T. Alton Elementary School in Vine Grove, Ky. “We did pretty well as a whole,” Hacker said. “I’m very happy with that.” The team has been practicing since August by studying, answering practice questions and doing a variety of research under the supervision of the group’s other advisors: seventh grade math teacher Nicole Geswein and Joy Adams, Spanish and art teacher at Brandenburg Primary School. The Governor’s Cup program was initiated in 1986 and is an extracurricular event held statewide that promotes and recognizes academic success.
FUNDRAISER FOR HAITI The 8th grade Titans will host a school-wide fundraiser for Haitian disaster relief. Students have chosen to send 100% of donations to “Doctors Without Borders.” (Visit doctorswithoutborders.org for more info) The fundraiser is Jan. 20-29.

BUSINESS Tanning, hairstyling, kickboxing and more at Fusion Tan The News Standard - A13
Friday, January 29, 2010
By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
From kickboxing and nail painting to belly dancing and body bronzing, Fusion Tan & Spa offers a variety of services that may not be discernible based on the name alone. The shop hosts traditional tanning and beauty treatments, but co-owner Kim Clark said the “fusion” in the business’s name originated with her and co-owner Kenny Heath’s intentions to meld together a plethora of amenities that may not have been offered before in Meade County. The shop — located at 520 East Broadway in Brandenburg across from St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, — opened in April 2008 and continues to grow with each passing week. Prior to Fusion Tan, Clark was trained as a massage therapist and opened two tanning and spa service businesses in Indiana. After a 20 year career in management, she decided to get back to a more people-oriented field. After multiple discussions with friend Kenny Heath, the duo opened the Brandenburg store and have been pressing forward ever since. “I wanted to get back to doing something I really liked,” Clark said. “The opportunity was there and we took it,” Heath said. In addition to tanning beds and salon services, Clark said she always intended to be open to customers’ suggestions for improvement. “Anything customers suggest, we’ll give a dry run and see if it works out,” Clark. “There was just a need for some of the services we offer in the county.” Upon a customer’s first visit to Fusion Tan for tanning, Clark will perform a skin check that allows her to recommend the best lotions and appropriate tanning routine for that individual. “We treat people with psoriasis, eczemas, muscle relief ... some of them come to us with doctor’s prescrip-

ABOVE: Co-owner Kim Clark says her goal is for the shop to meet a variety of customers’ needs, which is why Fusion Tan presently offers hairstyling, nail painting, body massage, body wraps, aerobic classes, ear piercing and more. RIGHT: Fusion Tan & Spa owners Clark and Kenny Heath take a seat inside one of the business’s many tanning beds. tions,” Clark said. She takes seriously customers’ concerns about health risks they associate with tanning, but Clark keeps literature on-hand that documents research and scientific studies about indoor tanning to put customers’ questions or concerns to rest. “Some people hear (tanning) is bad for them and don’t go any further to learn about it or ... see that it’s not for themselves,” Clark said. Presently, Fusion Tan houses four beds and one stand-up tanning bed. Additional rooms are being constructed, however, because three new beds are on the way. Paint on tan is also available, as are body wrap services. Clark recalled one session during which a client lost 16 inches off her body after her first body wrap. “It was pretty amazing,” she said. Spa treatments and massages are held in a calming, cozy room that allows patrons to wholly relax for the duration of their session. Nail painting, hair styling, waxing and ear piercing all
operate out of Fusion Tan & Spa, but for those want to break a sweat before they enter stress relief mode can take part in some of the many classes held at the shop, for both children and adults. Kickboxing and self defense classes are held regularly in an open gym area at the rear of the store. Tuesday evenings are reserved for Zumba classes — a calorie-burning, muscletoning style of exercise that combines merengue, samba, mambo and salsa into an exciting and energetic routine. “Do You Wanna Dance?” classes will begin in the spring and will teach eight popular dances in only four weeks. Clark said parents should re-think their commutes to Elizabethtown, Ky., or Louisville just to take their children to dance or cheerleading classes and should instead consider some of the classes offered in their own backyard. Fusion Tan & Spa holds weekly dance, cheerleading, tumbling and kickboxing classes for kids. “They get a lot of person-

Pasture and hayfield renovation makes good economic sense Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources Renovating pastures and hayfields to renew grass productivity is one of the most important things we can do to improve the 7 million acres that serve animal-based agriculture in Kentucky. Pasture renovation is a win-win situation because it decreases production costs and increases animal performance. Farmers benefit from increases in yield, quality and summer production by establishing legumes in grass pastures and hayfields, according to more than 35 years research by the University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture. Adding legumes increases the total forage yield per acres. One study showed that using red clover to renovate a fescue pasture produced higher yields than using the equivalent of 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Introducing clovers into grass pastures often extends the grazing season, compared to
grass alone. A grass-legume mixture improved forage quality in such areas as increased palatability, intake, digestibility and nutrient intake. Legumes produce more summer growth than coolseason grasses. So adding legumes produces forages during a slack growth period for cool season perennial grasses like fescue. Inoculated seeds fix nitrogen in the soil, providing a valuable nutrient for grasses and legumes. Legumes differ in their nitrogen fixation levels. Alfalfa fixes the most nitrogen, 200 to 300 pounds an acre each year and annual lespediza, 75 to 150 pounds. This reduces nitrogen fertilizer expense that typically accounts for 30 to 60 percent of the cost of producing forages from grasses. Depending on the cost of nitrogen fertilizer, legumes can put from $30 to $150 worth of nitrogen into the soil. This more than offsets the cost of renovation. Offsetting livestock disorders caused by grasses is another benefit of using legumes to renovate grass pastures and hayfields. For example, you can reduce toxicosis from endophyte-
infected tall fescue by seeding clovers into pastures. A recent survey showed that growing legumes with tall fescue was the primary strategy beef cow-calf producers used to cope with the tall fescue endophyte. The presence of clovers in animal diets also helps reduce grass tetany. The higher forage quality produced by renovating grass pastures and hayfields leads to improved animal performance. For example, clovers provide higher nutrition levels than grasses. Thus, these legumes help combat poor nutrition as the primary limiting factor to livestock farm profitability. Research shows that legumes improve animal growth rates, reproductive efficiency and milk production. These factors have a positive effect on gross income. When compared to grasses, clovers usually are higher in crude protein and digestibility; have higher mineral and vitamin levels, and are more rapidly digested. The end result is better animal performance. For more information on grass pasture renovation with legumes, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-4224958.

4-H’ers test their knowledge of cattle equipment
THE NEWS STANDARD/CHARLOTTE FACKLER
Members of the Meade County 4-H Beef Club try to identify equipment used for during a visit to the Richardson farm for a monthly meeting. Staff Report The News Standard Meade County Beef Club 4-H’ers held their monthly meeting Monday evening at Homer Lee and Kaye Richardson’s farm in Midway. 4-H’ers participated in an informational class about the various equipment used for cattle maintenance. The beef club members need six educational hours before March, so they can qualify
by the state program’s standards. Once they qualify, they will be able to auction their cow stock at this summer’s Meade County Fair. During the meeting, members also nominated officers for 2010: Cody Haught, president; Alex Lee, vice president; Kaylee Compton, secretary; Nathan Turner, treasurer; Madison Brown, reporter. An additional beef club meeting was scheduled to be held Thursday at the Meade County Extension Service office.
Young Goat Producers to hold first meeting Submitted by Carla Laslie Meade-Breck Goat Producers Secretary The Meade-Breck Goat Producers are made up of mostly seasoned goat producers along with a few younger members. President Jimmy Dowell and member Aurora Laslie want to start a new area within the goat producers that would encourage more
young members to participate. The newly formed Young Goat Producers would be open to all Meade and Breckinridge county youth that raise their own goats. Aurora started raising pygmy goats when she was just five and moved on to the Boer goats when she nine. If she had seasoned goat producers to help her along the way, the road might have
been a little smoother. She is hoping that this will help the young members and encourage new people to try the goat industry. The Young Goat Producers will help with sales and shows and the working of the association, so they can gain further knowledge of the many different aspects of the industry. We have members who show market and breeding
stock and some that simply raise them for commercial purposes. No matter which venue they choose, they will have someone that they can confide in. The first meeting of the Young Goat Producers will be Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. EST. If you would like more information, please contact Aurora Laslie at laslie@ bbtel.com or Carla Laslie at 270-547-0490.
Beekeeping schools are offered across Kentucky Submitted by the Ky. Dept. of Agriculture FRANKFORT — The Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and Kentucky State University are teaming up to offer beekeeping schools throughout the state. Whether you are a veteran beekeeper or a beginner eager to get started, these day-long educational workshops, held on Saturdays, offer sessions on everything from where to buy equip-
ment to tips on harvesting your first batch of honey. “Honey bees play an extremely important role in Kentucky agriculture as crop pollinators,” Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer said. “Up to onethird of the food we consume depends in some way on honey bees. That’s why the Kentucky Department of Agriculture is proud to support these beekeeping schools and see their numbers grow.” There has been a steady increase in the number of beekeeping schools in
the state and the number of Kentuckians attending them. Kentucky State Apiarist Phil Craft estimated that 800 people attended the schools last year. The series of beekeeping schools kicked off Jan. 23 with the Eastern Kentucky Beekeeping School in Hazard, followed by the Allen County Beekeeping School Feb. 6 in Scottsville, the Southeast Beekeeping School Feb. 20 in Whitley City, the inaugural Northeast Kentucky Beekeeping School Feb. 27 in Morehead and the Audubon
Beekeeping School March 6 in Henderson. The largest event will be the Bluegrass Beekeeping School March 13 at Kentucky State University in Frankfort. The featured speaker will be Dr. Dave Tarpy, entomology professor at North Carolina State University. Kentucky State University Apiculture Extension Specialist Dr. Tom Webster will teach beginning beekeeping sessions. Nearly 400 beekeepers and six vendors attended the 2009 Bluegrass Beekeeping School.

Carly Evans scored 13 points to help the Lady Waves get past Breckinridge County.
Waves’ win keeps them at No. 1 spot By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com With last Friday’s 55-48 win over the Breckinridge County Lady Tigers, the Meade County Lady Waves are in the driver’s seat for the 11th District No. 1 seed. “Having that No. 1 seed is worth its weight in gold in our district,” said head coach Josh Hurt. “Now we can worry about getting that district championship and then make a run at the region.” In a four-team district the No. 1 Lady Waves will most likely pair up with Cloverport Fredrick Fraize — who has yet to get a win this season — in the district tournament. A first round district tournament win guarantees a regional tournament spot. The Lady Waves headed into Christmas break with a disappointing 3-7 record, but after getting an important win against Hancock County on Jan. 14 the Lady Waves knew that they had to close out the remainder of their district games. “We really wanted to focus on our second game against Hancock,” Hurt said. “Then we get snowed out and our first game of the year ends up being that Hancock game. After that win we start to get confidence and that streak led up to the Breck game.” Closing out district play wasn’t going to be easy for Meade County. On Friday, the Lady Tigers jumped out to an 8-4 lead in the first quarter but by the end of the quarter the Lady Waves took a one point lead, 13-12. “It was a battle,” Hurt said,

Meade County dance team takes regional crown and moves on to state championship By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com Third-year coach Jessie Bradley knew this year’s Meade County dance team had the capability of being a Region Grand Champion. After last year’s first place finish in the hip-hop division, Bradley and her team decided to incorporate a second dance routine so the team would be eligible to win the prestigious grand champion award. “We just thought we could do this,” she said. “We took
on the two (dance routines) and have practiced harder and we did it.” On Saturday, the team’s hunch paid off as they took home three first place finishes and the overall Grand Champion for the 3rd Region tournament at Trinity Whitesville High School. “(Last year’s) judges said that if we would have had two routines we probably would have won last year too,” said dance team captain Jackie

Greenwave shooting woes continue against JH By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com
THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI
Cheaney Schwartz led the Greenwave with 11 points against John Hardin on Saturday.
The Meade County Greenwave’s shooting woes didn’t get any better last Saturday when the team lost to the John Hardin Bulldogs, 41-26. Meade County shot 18 percent in the first half and finished the game with a measly 19 percent. Both teams combined for 27 percent from the field to make up for 71 total missed shots in the game. “If you believe it, we have shot it worse than this,” said Greenwave head coach Jerry Garris, whose team shot 14 percent during the season opener against Daviess County. On Saturday, the game remained close as the teams came out of the first quarter tied, 5-5. Meade County jumped out to an early lead
when sophomore guard Cheaney Schwartz hit a 3-pointer and then a lay up to make the score 10-7 with 5 minutes left in the half. Schwartz hit both of the Greenwave’s only two 3-pointers in the game. The team went 2-for-25 from beyond the arc (8 percent). The Bulldogs regained control with less than a minute left in the first half and went into halftime with a 17-14 lead. The third was the most devastating quarter for the Greenwave as John Hardin went on a 12-4 scoring run. In the quarter, Meade County doubled its first half turnovers from seven to 14. “We got the ball where we wanted to,” Garris said of his team’s ability to break the

them. Shelby County is a tough team too. I was really impressed that our girls team did beat them.” The girls team was led by Crotzer, who won the 50-yard freestyle, and anchored the 400-yard freestyle relay team’s first place finish. The team finished four points ahead of Shelby with a score of 328. On the boys team, Scott King finished first in the 50-yard freestyle. The boys 200-yard and 400-yard freestyle teams also took first place. The boys team’s overall score was 266. “We have seen a lot of improvements,” Crotzer said. “It’s taken some time, but we’ve definitely seen the whole team get better. Especially the girls team.” With the Meade County team boosting more than 60 members, it has taken a few months for the team to see the improvements they want to see. “We came up with so many new swimmers,” Thompson said. “We had over 60 kids out here. Over half of them were new swimmers. It seems like each swimmer is getting faster and faster. Overall as a team we’re as good as we can be right now. I couldn’t ask for any more from this team. I’m really impressed.” The swim team will travel to the Shelby County Invitational tomorrow.

whose team headed into the Breckinridge County game with six straight wins. “It’s a type of game you expect from a district rival game. I think we came out nervous. It was a huge home crowd.” In the second quarter, Meade County’s full court press forced several turnovers and the team had its biggest scoring quarter of the game, 19, and headed into halftime with a 32-24 lead. “Our press really worked against them,” Hurt said, whose team had 13 steals in the game. “We started to get some tips, deflections and some steals. That’s when we jumped out. I think our press really turned the game around for us.” Breckinridge County came out fast in the second half and cut the Lady Waves’ lead to two points. “It seemed like every time they got it within two then we would get a bucket,” Hurt said. “(Senior forward) Bliss Powers only had six points but they were all big points for us during that stretch in the second half.” In the fourth quarter Meade County shut down the game with clutch free throw shooting.

Meade County only shot 23 percent from the field but managed to get 61 shots against the Highlanders. “If we brought our ‘A’ game, I think we would have done better,” Hurt said. “I don’t think we were outmatched. We had some good shots we just didn’t make them. But it was good for us to see where we are at against a top team.”

I think it shows in our scores.� Meade County will now head to the state competition at the Frankfort Convention Center in Frankfort on Feb. 28. The team will have more than a month to polish their regional routines. “We’re just going to perfect our dance now,� Patty said. “We’re going to maybe take out some things that didn’t work for us before or add some new things.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was American journalist, author and humorist Don Marquis who made the following sage observation: "Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday." •A giant carnivorous plant has recently been discovered on a remote mountaintop in the Philippines. The second largest pitcher plant on record, nepenthes attenboroughii secretes a nectar that lures insects, frogs and even rats into its trap, where enzymes and acids break down the animal and digest it. •There has been a lot of debate about whether older drivers should be required to pass driving tests in order to renew their licenses, with failing sight and diminished judgment being cited as reasons for the more stringent requirement. However, statistics tend to indicate that, as a group, teenagers are the more dangerous drivers, with their auto-accident death rate roughly triple that of the elderly.

•If you're thinking about going back to school during this economic downturn, you might want to consider working toward a master's degree in business administration. The average salary increase enjoyed by new MBA holders is a whopping 64 percent. •The men's formal attire known as the tuxedo takes its name from the Tuxedo Park Club in New York, where the clothing first became popular. The word itself is derived from the Algonquian word for wolf. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

Last Week’s Solutions
By Henry Boltinoff © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your natural Arian leadership qualities make you the person others will follow in tackling that important project. But don't get so involved in the work that you neglect your personal life. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects favor sorting through your possessions, both at work and at home, to start giving away what you don't use, don't need or don't like. Relax later with someone special. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The issues are not quite as clear as they should be. That's why you need to avoid getting involved in disputes between colleagues at work or between relatives or personal friends. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You'll get lots of support from others if you own up to your mistake quickly and include a full and honest explanation. Learn from this experience so that you don't repeat it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) There might be some early confusion over a major move, whether it's at work or at home. But once you get a full breakdown of what it entails, it should be easier to deal with. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Creating order out of chaos, even in the most untidy spaces, should be no problem for organized Virgos. So go ahead and do it, and then accept praise from impressed colleagues. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Whether it's for business purposes or just for leisure, a trip might be just what you need right now. You would benefit both from a change of scenery and from meeting new people. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While things generally go well this week, a romantic situation seems to have stalled. But you can restart it if you want to. Then again, maybe this is a chance to reassess the situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A meeting that was promised quite a while back could finally happen. So be sure you're prepared with everything you'll need to make your case sound convincing and doable. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace blunder could create a problem down the line unless you deal with it right now to see how and why it happened. Don't be surprised at what you might learn. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This is a good time to re-sort your priorities and see if adjustments are called for. Be honest with yourself as you decide what to keep, what to discard and what to change. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Letting yourself be bathed in the outpouring of love and support from those who care for you will help you get through a difficult period sooner rather than later. Good luck. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an uncanny gift for reaching out to all people and creating bridges of understanding among them. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

Keys to catching that trophy fish Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Anglers often wonder where to catch the biggest fish in the state. The Trophy Fish and Master Angler program sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources can shed some light on this question. Anglers whose fish meet certain minimum size limits can submit their catch to the department’s program. A side benefit of the program is that it can provide all anglers a glimpse of the state’s hottest fishing lakes. For example, anglers usually think of Dale Hollow Lake as the place to go for the state’s biggest smallmouth bass. Dale Hollow, after all, is home to the world record smallmouth bass — an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught by Leitchfield resident David L. Hayes in 1955. The second and third largest smallmouth bass caught in the world — both exceeding 10 pounds — also came from Dale Hollow Lake. The last of these top three fish was caught more than
two decades ago, in 1986. The Trophy Fish program reveals an up and coming lake for the state’s biggest smallmouth: Laurel River Lake. Last year, Ron Watson’s 25-inch long, 7-pound, 7-ounce brute from Laurel River Lake was the biggest smallmouth bass submitted to the program. This lake also bequeathed the second largest smallmouth bass submitted to the program last year, a 6-pound, 7-ounce fish caught by Brian Frederick. When anglers in Kentucky and throughout the Midwest think of big crappie, they often imagine Lake Barkley and Kentucky Lake — not farm ponds or southeastern Kentucky. But last year, Thomas Jones fooled a 4-pound, 3-ounce monster crappie out of a farm pond in Laurel County. The fish, the state’s biggest crappie reported last year, weighed 11 ounces shy of the state record. Farm ponds produced nine out of the 29 trophy crappie recognized by the department in 2009. The heaviest largemouth bass submitted last year also came out of a farm
pond. Robert Marsh caught a 24 1/2-inch, 9-pound largemouth bass from a farm pond in Boone County. Ten of the 24 largemouth bass submitted came from farm ponds. In another twist, anglers fishing Laurel River Lake submitted three times as many trophy largemouth bass to the program than anglers fishing Kentucky Lake. Cave Run Lake surrendered Montgomery County High School student Sarah Terry’s state record 47-pound muskellunge in 2008. David Nutter of Morehead did his part to keep Cave Run’s reputation intact last year by catching a 38-pound muskie, the largest Trophy Fish Award for muskellunge last year. However, Green River Lake and the Green River below the lake produced more overall entries for trophy muskellunge in 2009 than any other waters in Kentucky. Lake Cumberland yielded the state’s best walleye last year, an 11-pound, 13-ounce fish caught by Brandon Hargis of London. That fish measured 31 inches. Paintsville Lake also holds some huge
walleye in its waters, as evidenced by the secondheaviest entry in the program, a 30 1/2-inch fish that weighed 11 pounds. Catches like these make anglers wake up at 3 a.m. in their quest for their own trophy. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Fishing Forecast for 2010 is now available on the Internet at fw.ky. gov The Fishing Forecast predicts the expected fishing in 2010 based on population sampling the previous year for different species in Kentucky’s lakes and rivers. It is one of the best tools you can use to select a fishing destination for your favorite species. For more information about the Trophy Fish and Master Angler program, consult the 2010 Kentucky Fishing and Boating Guide, available soon wherever licenses are sold. Anglers who catch a trophy fish of three different species qualify for a Master Angler plaque. Make 2010 the year you catch a fish large enough to submit to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Trophy Fish and Master Angler, or better yet, become a Master Angler yourself.
Applications for incentives program available Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department
FRANKFORT — The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications for Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Forestland Initiative at your local USDA Service Center or conservation district office. This is a special fund initiative in addition to the regular EQIP sign-up for an identified focus area. Conservation practices such as forest stand improvement, tree planting and fencing to exclude livestock from woodlands are available. Landowners may apply for the Environmental Quality Incentives
Program at any time. However, applications received by Jan. 29 will be considered for the current federal fiscal year. Applications received after Jan. 29 will be held until the next evaluation period. With more than 9 million acres of privately owned woodlands in the state, it is important to practice wise forest management to help preserve this significant natural resource. A properly managed forest not only provides timber resources, but also can greatly enhance wildlife habitat, improve water quality, create recreational opportunities, sequester more carbon and increase overall aesthetics.
This initiative will focus on creating, enhancing and protecting forestland bird habitat, improving forest health and promoting forest management. Emphasis is placed on forest stand improvement, tree and shrub planting, and fencing woodland to exclude livestock. The Kentucky Division of Forestry will work closely with landowners to develop a forest stewardship plan on acreage enrolled in EQIP. Additional information may be found on the Internet at http:// www.ky.nrcs.usda.gov/programs. To apply for EQIP, or for more information, please contact your local USDA-NRCS/Conservation District office.

March 1 and already hunters are beginning to plan hunts. Therefore, as in the past, this year’s opener will fall on the Saturday closest to April 15. The 2010 Kentucky Hunting Guide for Spring Turkey and Squirrel will be posted online at fw.ky. gov Thursday, Jan. 21, and printed guides will be available at license vendors within the next few weeks. Hunters should be sure to check the guide for complete hunting regulations, including bag limits, licensing requirements and equipment guidelines.

DTW Red basketball team takes championship By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com John Millay scored 23 of the 30 David T. Wilson Red team’s points in the elementary championship game on Saturday at the Meade County High School against the David T. Wilson Blue team. DTW Red won 30-27. Millay gave the DTW Red team its first lead of the game halfway through the second half, 21-19, with a lay-up. With less than 3 minutes left in the game Mack Wilson hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 25. But Millay scored a layup to regain the lead and went on to win, despite a DTW Blue team’s steal and lay-up which made it a one point game, 28-27, with 4 seconds left. A Red team’s rebound
and basket clinched the victory as time ran out. Millay scored a total of 114 points in four games including a 48-point performance in the semifinal game against David T. Wilson Yellow.
