FCC mandate could require county to find money, fast System updates will affect emergency response equipment By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com
BRANDENBURG — A Meade County E-911 Committee meeting held Monday at the court-
house was heavily attended by county fire chiefs, EMS personnel and others who rely on the county’s wireless radio system to respond to emergencies and transmit immediate information. David Kunzman and Paul Miozza of RCS Communications were also in attendance, as representatives of the Louisvillebased company that handles the majority of the county’s wireless
communications. E-911 Director Mark Bennett said the purpose of the meeting was to inform local emergency response agencies about a mandate imposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that will require the purchasing and updating of equipment in order to keep dispatch and the county’s entire wireless transmissions system working

properly. The FCC is making all nonfederal public safety organizations with licenses to operate on a 25 kHz (kilohertz) radio system to downsize to a 12.5 kHz system by Jan. 1, 2013. Kunzman said agencies that don’t make the switch will have inoperable radio communication systems. “That leaves two years and 11 months to plan for this,” Kun-
zman said. “My suggestion is you start planning for this now ... because it’s going to take a little bit of time to turn everything over.” Kunzman explained the reason for the switch as “narrowbanding” — the process of using a small channel width to operate on so that more channels can

By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com The Flaherty Volunteer Fire Department responded to a structure fire Wednesday, Jan. 27, at 2:01 p.m., at 560 Hobbs Reesor Road in Flaherty. The fire destroyed the structure, the home of a local family. Flaherty fire chief Allen Sipes said the residence, owned by William Maddox, was fully involved by the time the department reported on scene. Muldraugh Fire Department and Meade County Fire Department responded as mutual aid. Meade County EMS was also on-scene. Sipes said the family, who wasn’t home at the time, “basically lost everything.” He said the American Red Cross was called to assist the family. Sipes said the cause of the fire is yet unknown and that the department has turned the property back over to the family.

THE NEWS STANDARD/LAURA SAYLOR
Staff Report The News Standard Last week posed wintry road conditions for Meade County and most of the Bluegrass; area schools were cancelled and delayed and roadways were daunting as snow, and then ice, settled in. Nearly 4 inches fell Friday night into Saturday, sparing the school district from announcing another snow day, and students took advantage
of the white weekend by taking to the hills with sleds of all shapes and sizes. Another round of white stuff may blanket the area again this weekend, possibly giving sled riders another chance to hit the slopes. As of Wednesday evening, Meade County Emergency Management Director Ron Dodson reported a possibility for precipitation Thursday night through Friday morning, though what type of precipita-
tion depends on temperatures. Friday temperatures may hover above freezing, though by Saturday morning colder air may move in and turn any falling moisture to snow. Some accumulation of snow may be possible though dry weather is expected to return on Sunday. Another chance for rain and/or snow is in the forecast for Monday night into Tuesday, and temperatures may dip down to the single digits at the beginning of the week
as well. Slick roadways caused 11 car accidents last Tuesday morning, and resulted in multiple sections of highway being closed until vehicles could be cleared. Drivers should be cautious of possibly wintry weather this weekend, and tune into their local radio and news stations, or visit the Meade County schools Web site, for update information about school closing, delays or dismissals.

Mentor program gives students an alternate source of guidance, caring By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com Many students at Flaherty Elementary School are getting a leg up, thanks to specialized attention provided by a program to provide students with, by definition, “wise and trusted advisors” — the Flaherty mentoring program. It began four years ago and is similar to a Big Brothers/Big Sis-
ters program, said Stacy Crosslin, Flaherty guidance counselor. The difference is students paired with mentors at Flaherty Elementary get to interact with their mentors during regular school hours. Crosslin said 32 students are paired up with mentors this year and those students, whose parents consented to participation, were ones who would benefit from “a positive adult influence”
and some one-on-one interaction. “I think the adults get as much out of it as the students do,” Crosslin said. She was also quick to explain that the mentoring program is in no way a replacement, or a judgment of, the skills of a student’s parent. “We rarely have a chance, as

Community Briefings Fiscal court holds brief special meeting Meade County Fiscal Court met during a special called meeting Tuesday to discuss a brief list of agenda items. After receiving applications from two inhouse workers for a new position, magistrates voted unanimously to hire Darren Smiley as a maintenance grounds keeper. Smiley will work year-round, floating between the road department, parks department and the solid waste and recycle center where he’s presently employed. Also discussed were the following items: •EMS director Pam Weber was given the OK to advertise in-house first for a full-time EMT position after a full-time paramedic asked to reduce his hours to part-time. •Peter Hill was reappointed to the ethics commission for a four-year term. •Updates to the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan were distributed to magistrates for review. •Next Tuesday’s regularly scheduled monthly fiscal court meeting will now became a special called meeting because it will be held an hour earlier than normal, at 6 p.m. Magistrate Herbie Chism asked judge/executive Harry Craycroft to look into whether or not a special called meeting can have a public session, because he would like next week’s meeting to have one. KSP to hold road checks in Meade and surrounding counties The Kentucky State Police will be conducting traffic safety evaluations on roadways in all eight Post 4 counties during the next month. Troopers will be conducting safety checkpoints on various roadways in Breckinridge, Bullitt, Grayson, Hardin, Jefferson, LaRue, Meade and Nelson counties most often during weekend nights when impaired driving traffic is at a maximum. Officers may also initiate checkpoints at other times during the week. The primary focus of these safety checks will be to reduce the incidence of drug and alcohol impaired drivers, however, officers will also be emphasizing the use of child safety seats and seat belts. Motorists can expect to see increased traffic enforcement patrols in the north central Kentucky area.

Remains of one-room Shumate School tracked down by locals Submitted article On Tuesday, Jan. 25, Gerald Fischer and Jesse and Frances Scott met at the Scott family farm in Stith Valley. Jesse has a Web site entitled stithvalley.com, that contains a large amount of data on the early settlers of Meade County. Jesse had been to the old Shumate School which is located off of Hill Grove Road, about two miles southeast of Meadeville, Ky. This is the school near the location of the battle of Meadeville. While visiting the site the trio took a number of photos. The school is located on a grown-up dirt road that was once a major thoroughfare that served Hill Grove, Meadeville and Stith Valley. The road winds its way through rough woods bordered by fenced pastureland, some 200 yards more or less from the hard road. While there, Jesse and Gerald examined the building, and came to the conclusion that the school was refurbished or rebuilt over time. The only nails that could be found were round machine made nails. The sills, which were supported by stacked stone piers, were made of rough sawn wood. The beaded lath interior walls and ceiling probably date from the 1930s or ‘40s. During the Civil War, the building could have been made of logs, and improved over the years. Frances Scott noted that at various places on the woodwork the initials of students or visitors to the site were carved into the wood trim. Jesse, Gerald and Frances
Mentor From page A1 an educator or a parent, to focus on just one child,” she said. With the mentoring program, though, time is made for specifically that and the activities during that period can range from eating lunch with the student, talking, reading or playing games, just to list a few. Crosslin said the individual attention can boost a student’s self-esteem and can help alleviate disciplinary problems, if any existed before. “There’s just one more person checking in on them,” Crosslin said. The mentoring program was written into the school improvement plan several years ago, under the portion for building relationships. Flaherty Elementary is the only elementary school in the county to offer such a program, though David T. Wilson Elementary School offered something similar at one time.

He and his mentor, third grade teacher Ashley Frazier, met last year when he was in her class, but she chose to continue with him, as his mentor, after fostering a close relationship. Nicholson comes to her classroom almost every afternoon, to talk or help her out with classroom chores, like sharpening pencils. “It’s nice to share his successes,” she said. “We talk and if he’s had a bad day, he can feel better.” Mentors are not limited to school staff; community members have the opportunity to mentor, as well.

Text message to Jody: R U 4 real? Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon Political tone deafness is contagious. Despite the message sent by Massachusetts voters last week, incumbent politicians in Washington and Kentucky don’t seem to get it. I’m beginning to wonder if they ever intend to start protecting — rather than destroying — our liberty. Unfortunately, we cannot quarantine the political elite. If we could keep their viruses from spreading, we might avoid having former Kentucky House Speakers waste the Legislature’s time by filing silly bills while the state faces serious economic and educational challenges. In the spirit of Frankfort’s annual practice of wasting loads of taxpayer time and money to avoid dealing with controversial issues during the first month of the Legislature — before the filing deadline for possible campaign opponents — former Speaker Rep. Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, secured passage of House Bill 43 by the House
Leader reported. Yeah, right. His approach reminds me of an “Andy Griffith Show” episode in which Barney wants to join the church choir. But every time the choir starts to sing, he’s the only one who doesn’t realize he can’t sing. If he was “listening,” Richards would know that using the force of government to address texting-while-driving ranks really low on the list of his liberty-loving constituents’ concerns. That’s probably true for Rep. Marie Rader, R-McKee, who reportedly “dedicated her ‘yes’ vote to her four grandchildren.” Isn’t that sweet? It’s apparently OK to waste taxpayer time and money in Frankfort on such bills as long as we do it “for the children.” Gee, I wonder if the Richards & Raders of the political world might consider doing something “for the children” that really matters — such as supporting charter schools that help spur genuine education reform and “right-towork” legislation that creates more — and better — jobs for the next generation? Richards reasoned, “18 states and the District of Columbia have passed similar (texting) bills.
OK, let’s apply some of that reasoning to issues that would defy the diagnosis that Richards and his ilk suffer from political tone deafness and that could really “help the children”: •“Forty states and the District of Columbia have passed charter-school bills similar to the ones proposed during this General Assembly. Charter schools are helping improve the educational opportunities of our neediest children. Let’s do it for the children.” •“Twenty-two of the 50 states have passed rightto-work laws that allow individuals, rather than the government, to determine union membership in the workplace. With our unemployment rates so high and the prospects for future economic growth in Kentucky looking sour, we should pass a right-to-work law for the children.” Richards: “R U ready 2 help?” We’ll see.

Patriotism begins in the community Jeff Johnson Kentucky Patriots There has been a wave of patriotism sweeping over this nation recently; a renewed emphasis on the values of our Founders, and the principles that they fought and died for. We have seen the evidence of this patriotism on our nightly news, heard about it on our radio stations, and read about it in our newspapers. With an election year upon us, we will soon be bombarded by numerous political advertisements asking us to express our patriotism by voting for a particular candidate. While our involvement in the political process is certainly one way to express our patriotism, there is a much more immediate and effective way to support our

communities and neighbors. We need to support our local businesses. Think for a moment ... what three locally owned and operated businesses would you miss most if they were gone? Would it be the Doe Run Inn, a great place to enjoy a home-cooked meal in a laidback, relaxing and historic setting? Maybe it would be Curran’s Market in Garrett, where Tim, Marie, and their extended family are waiting with a kind word, and that special cut of meat for your weekend barbecue. Perhaps you have a business or organization of your own, and are looking for ways to cut your promotional and printing expenses. Rachel, at Ink Solutions in Brandenburg has been a blessing to me. Think of the locally owned businesses that you appreciate. Stop in, say “Hi!” and pick up a little something. That’s how they stay in business!
If only half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in locally owned stores, their purchases would generate over $42 billion in revenue. For every $100 spent in locally owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. In national chains, only $43 stays here. If you buy online, nothing stays here. This alone would make a huge difference in our local economies. When our local economies are strong, there is less of a need for us to depend on “the Government” for our basic necessities. There are many ways for us to express our patriotism. Some of us have served, or are serving, in the Armed Forces. Some have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Others are raising their voices in protest to the erosion of values in society. Most of us are just or-
dinary citizens, living our lives and loving our families and country. But we too, are patriots, and have ways of showing our patriotism. I challenge every person that reads these words to think of three local businesses that he or she appreciate, and commit to spending at least $50 each month at these businesses. Our dollars, added together, will strengthen our community in a way that the government could never match!. Together, we can make a difference. Patriotism begins in the community!

Transportation Committee. It’s a convoluted, unenforceable bill to ban “texting” while driving. But what does Richards care? He loves to play legislative games and always has — regardless of the consequences. This bill, like others he spawned, robs Kentuckians of their individual liberties and ignores what voters find important. These kinds of bills allow longtime state politicians to offer the illusion of doing something meaningful before the deadline for potential opponents to apply to the electorate for their job. Meanwhile, King Richards meanders along his way to an opportunistic politician’s sizeable taxpayer-funded pension. How does a law enforcement officer know whether a suspected “texter” is looking at a message from someone telling him or her to pick up medicine for a sick child — which the bill does not allow — or is looking at directions to the ball game on a GPS device, which is allowed? “Richards said he would listen to the concerns of those who had reservations about specific provisions,” the Lexington Herald-

VIEWPOINTS AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I’m sure Meade Countians are sick and tired of hearing out-of-towners — especially northerners such as myself — yak in disbelief every time the county shuts down due to, well, what I’ve learned the South calls “snow.” To be sure, it does take some getting used to; it’s hard for me to grasp why the threat of 2 inches demands school cancellation and for every loaf of bread and gallon of milk to be immediately snatched from Kroger’s shelves. Where I grew up in Hollsopple, Penn., an unspoken requirement of attending the Conemaugh Township Area School District was learning to ski because more often than not those twin glass fiber boards were going to be your most reliable source of transportation to and from school during the winter. Seventh through 12th grades were all housed at my tiny high school which sat at the bottom of an Appalachian Mountain valley. Snow was on the ground from Halloween through Easter and you never heard the phrase “snow day” unless 10 inches of snow was falling hard on top of a 3-inch ice base. On any given day from October through April, the student parking lot had more snow machines, tractors and quads parked in it than pick-ups or cars. This was our regular winter commute to school: We were 15 years old, passing each other on Main Street at 8 mph on our orange Allis-Chalmers, pulling into the school parking lot with snot frozen to our lips, history books iced shut, and large plaid thermoses spewing steam like volcanoes. I remember one afternoon after inches of sleet, slush, ice and snow had piled up all morning long, we were granted a very rare early dismissal. Our principal, Mr. Koba, stood inside the main doorway and shook our hands

when we exited the building, telling us “good luck” and “hope ya make it” as we filed out to our respective tractors to begin a long and adventurous journey home. When it was too cold for the engines to turn, we resorted to skis. It was a 1.1 mile cross country trail from my front door to the bus stop, or a three-mile downhill slalom through thick woods and frozen pastures to the parking lot of the high school. On more than one occasion my sister and I and the few other bumpkins who lived in the forest at the top of the valley strapped on our backpacks, locked into our skis and pushed off with our poles, swirling down the valley side until we slid into the parking lot. Skiing to school became quite popular during my senior high years. It was a quick commute, a fun commute, and after school let out you simply found a friend who had gotten his quad to start that morning, and you held on to a tow rope as he pulled you back home. During my senior year, the high school — finally — installed ski racks outside, right next to the bike racks. One of my favorite “You Know You’re From Pennsylvania If...” jokes is “you keep 10 pounds of kitty liter in your trunk all winter long.” Indeed, kitty litter and fireplace cinders were the poor man’s road salt back in rural PA, and come every spring after the winter melted away, the high school parking lot never failed to look and smell like a two-acre long cat box. I don’t foresee the Meade County school district necessitating ski racks at its schools anytime soon and I’ve yet to notice a kitty litter shortage at Cox’s, but every morning when I pass by the pockets of students bogged down in their snow gear as they wait for the bus, I smile to myself at the remarkable difference a few hundred miles can make in defining every kid’s two favorite words, “snow day.”

Cook up a cure for cabin fever Carole Goodwin 4-H & Youth Development
When it’s too cold to play outside, it is time to get creative inside. A great way to engage your children is to help them cook something warm and cozy in the kitchen. Cooking is especially enjoyable for children because it requires using all five senses. They see the foods and prepare them with their own hands. They can hear foods popping and sizzling in the pan and smell the aromas. Finally, the best part is they get to taste their finished product. Cooking provides new and challenging tasks that are not too difficult for a child to accomplish under the correct
State Rep. From page A1 It is time for politicians in Frankfort to stand up, show some courage and make the tough decisions that will improve quality of life for all Kentuckians. I look forward to the op-
supervision. Cooking activities help build both fine and gross motor skills. Whisking, cutting or measuring with teaspoons and tablespoons gives practice to wrist and finger muscles. Stirring, pouring and ladling uses shoulder and arm muscles associated with gross motor skills. Parents should stay close and gently guide children in the process. Food preparation also requires math and science skills. Children can practice simple math by learning about amounts and measurements and the concepts of more and less. They can hypothesize about what might happen next when a recipe gets changed. They also have a front row seat to watch changes as they occur. Children may be more inclined to try a greater variety of foods if they are actively
involved in preparing it. Children of almost any age can help in the kitchen. Sharp knives should not be used, but a plastic, serrated knife may be safe. Ovens and electric burners should never be used without adult supervision. Take time to talk with children about hot appliances such as when they should and should not be sued, and how long they stay hot after being turned off. Cooking also is a good opportunity for children to practice safeguards such as health, safety and cleanliness. Invite kids to join you in the kitchen even though it can get messy at times. Cooking is a great opportunity to bond and opens the door for discussion, creativity and learning. For more information contact the Meade County Extension Office at 270-422-4958.

Couples must work to energize marriage James Dobson Focus on the Family
QUESTION: My wife and I love each other very much, but we’re going through a time of apathy. We just don’t feel close to each other. Is this normal, and is there a way to bring back the fire? DR. DOBSON: This happens sooner or later in every marriage. A man and woman just seem to lose the wind in their romantic sails for a period of time. Their plight reminds me of seamen back in the days of wooden vessels. Sailors in that era had much to fear, including pirates, storms and diseases. But their greatest fear was that the ship might encounter the Doldrums. The Doldrums was an area of the ocean near the equator characterized by calm and very light shifting winds. It could mean certain death for the entire crew. The ship’s food and water supply would be exhausted as they drifted for days, or even weeks,
waiting for a breeze to put them back on course. Well, marriages that were once exciting and loving can also get caught in the romantic doldrums, causing a slow and painful death to the relationship. Author Doug Fields, in his book “Creative Romance,” writes, “Dating and romancing your spouse can change those patterns, and it can be a lot of fun. There’s no quick fix to a stagnant marriage, of course, but you can lay aside the excuses and begin to date your sweetheart.” In fact, you might want to try thinking like a teenager again. Let me explain. Recall for a moment the craziness of your dating days — the coy attitudes, the flirting, the fantasies, the chasing after the prize. As we moved from courtship into marriage, most of us felt we should grow up and leave the game playing behind. But we may not have matured as much as we’d like to think. In some ways, our romantic relationships will always bear some characteristics of adolescent sexuality. Adults still love the thrill of the chase, the lure of the unat-
tainable, excitement of the new and boredom with the old. Immature impulses are controlled and minimized in a committed relationship, of course, but they never fully disappear. This could help you keep vitality in your marriage. When things have grown stale between you and your spouse, maybe you should remember some old tricks. How about breakfast in bed? A kiss in the rain? Or rereading those old love letters together? A night in a nearby hotel? Roasting marshmallows by an open fire? A phone call in the middle of the day? A longstem red rose and a love note? There are dozens of ways to fill the sails with wind once more. If it all sounds a little immature to act like a teenager again, just keep this in mind: In the best marriages, the chase is never really over. QUESTION: As a single mother, I’d like to leave my children with friends or relatives for a few days and get some time for myself, but I’m worried about how this might affect them. Will they feel deserted again?
DR. DOBSON: Not only is a brief time away from your children not likely to be hurtful -- it will probably be healthy for them. One of the special risks faced by single parents is the possibility of a dependency relationship developing that will trap their children at an immature stage. This danger is increased when wounded people cling to each other exclusively for support in stressful times. Spending a reasonable amount of time apart can teach independence and give everyone a little relief from the routine. Therefore, if you have a clean, safe place to leave your children for a week or two, by all means, do it. You’ll be more refreshed and better able to handle your usual “homework” when you return. 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.

Do not wait; the right time for salvation is now Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight
An old story is told about Satan talking with three of his top demons about a certain revival. According to the story the Devil asked the demons how they could stop the revival from being so successful. One said, “I could break up this revival. I would go and laugh at the people, and tell them they were a bunch of fools and that there was no God, no devil,
no heaven and no hell. And I would tell them to live it up for tomorrow they may die.” Satan said, “You need not go. You would not find anyone that would believe you.” Another demon said, “Let me go. I would go and tell them that a portion of the Bible is true and that there is a God and a heaven, but no devil and no hell. No matter how they might live here, they would go to heaven when they died.” And Satan said, “You need not go. You might find some people that would try to believe you, but not very many, espe-
cially at this time of spiritual revival.” “Let me go,” said a third demon and the meanest of them all. “I will go and tell them that the Bible is all true and that there is a God and a heaven, a devil and a hell, and that the people are making their choice in this life as to where they will spend eternity. And then I will say, but you have plenty of time. Put this off. Wait until tomorrow.“ And Satan said to him, “Go, surely that will work.” I know this is only a story but sadly I have found it to be so true.
Delaying salvation and putting off accepting Jesus as Savior is the excuse I hear most often from people who have been presented the Gospel. The Bible tells us in Cor. 6:2 that “now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.” How many times have we seen someone meet death at an early age or when we though it was before their time? You put off being saved at your own peril. Why not accept Jesus as your Savior now? Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.
Neighbors, far and near, seek God’s love through us Dan Newton Divine Guidance
Luke 10:29 says, “But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?” (KJV). This question was asked Jesus by a “lawyer“ (one who specialized in the interpretation and application of the more than 600 commandments of the Old Testament) in response to Jesus’ affirmation that the greatest commandments of the law, first, to love God, and second, to love “thy neighbor as thyself“ (Luke 10:27; Matthew 22:39).
Jesus answered his question by telling the famous story of the good Samaritan, concluding by saying, “Go, and do thou likewise“ (Luke 10:37). From this parable are derived several important principles concerning neighbors and what it means to love them. In the first place, a neighbor is not necessarily someone whose home is near ours, or even one who is an acquaintance. The Samaritan had never met the traveler who had been robbed and beaten, nor was he even a fellow countryman. However, there were three criteria which, in the mind of Christ, did make
him a neighbor: •He was someone whose path had crossed that of the Samaritan; •He had a real need; •The Samaritan had the ability to meet that need. Since all three criteria were satisfied, then there was such an obligation, and the Lord has told us to do likewise. It is such an action that is involved in “loving” one’s neighbor in the same way we love ourselves. It is doing what we would want to have done for us, if the roles were reversed. However, there is still something more to it than that — the “love” of which the Lord spoke here is well-
known agape love, which describes an unselfish love, one which serves the best interests of the recipient without regard to any benefit for the one who loves. In the highest sense, therefore, a genuine love for one’s neighbor would mean seeking the will of God in and for the one who is loved.

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.

‘Avatar’ Flaherty files for county Riverport hires lawyer, firm; is worthy of, judge/executive seat optimistic it will receive funds exceeds all the hype Submitted press release
Shawn Hughes Jr. Old & New Movie Reviews
Avatar (2009) Wow, where to begin. “Avatar” is easily one of the most hyped movies of the year, but as history will show, grand marketing campaigns don’t always equal engaging movie experiences. So what’s the verdict on James Cameron’s latest CG-laden sci-fi epic? Believe it. This really is the must-see movie of the year. At nearly three hours in length, “Avatar” certainly is ambitious in its scope, but the pacing is spot-on and never drags. It manages to perfectly balance elements of engrossing storytelling and edgeof-your-seat action in a manner similar to Cameron’s earlier masterpiece, “Terminator 2.” It’s clear that Cameron has not lost a bit of his touch when it comes to creating fantastic cinematic experiences. The film is breathtakingly beautiful in its visuals, and strikingly realistic. Many times I had to remind myself that what I was seeing wasn’t real, but a product of computer imagery. Even though CG is used in abundance, it never feels overpowering; rather, the special effects are used to draw the viewer into the world of Pandora and all of the interesting flora and fauna that reside there. Unlike similar CGheavy “spectacle films,” “Avatar” has the distinction of having a well-developed plot with a full cast of welldesigned, fleshed-out characters, each with their own behavioral qualities and motives, including a large and memorable role played by Sigourney Weaver, best known for her part as Ripley in the Alien movies — which makes her involvement with “Avatar” all the more appropriate. The race of Na’vi, despite being completely CG, are treated with as much care and distinction as any of the human actors, and actually do most of the emotional heavy lifting throughout the engrossing and wellcrafted storyline. Ah, the story. Most people will watch this movie for the special effects, but the story is actually this movie’s most impressive feat. Dramatic in its tone, flawless in its execution, it delivers the kind of emotionally charged drama and excitement that makes you really feel for the characters and their situation. It clearly draws inspiration from some of the most fantastic films of all time: the awe-inspiring grandeur of “Jurassic Park,” the environmental sentimentality of “FernGully,” and the philosophical narrative of “Dances With Wolves.” Even though it draws plenty of inspiration, the film follows its own path so well that it never feels contrived. Any film that is able to achieve such a goal, especially with a largely CG cast of characters, is more than worthy of being hailed as a modern day masterpiece. Final grade:

During a meeting on Tuesday, the Meade County Riverport Authority approved the hiring of Kenton Smith, a local attorney, in reviewing and updating the lease agreement with the Meade County Industrial Development Authority. The lease agreement has been on the agenda for the Riverport Authority for some time, specifically working out the details of defining the property between Riverport and the Industrial Development Authority. In addition to hiring Smith, chairman Joe Wright appointed himself and board members Greg Hager and Edd Pike to serve on a committee that will work with members of the MCIDA and the attorneys involved to try to wrap up the loose ends regarding the lease.
During the meeting, the board also approved the hiring of Mountjoy Chilton Medley, a CPA firm in Louisville to handle audits and review the books, on an as-needed basis. The hiring is just to get the firm on board for future needs, rather than any immediate need. Riverport consultant Mike Flint also presented to the board and others in attendance the status of the Kentucky Industrial Authority. “KIA is moving forward,” Flint said. There will be a preconstruction meeting Monday, Feb. 8, at 1 p.m., with Mike Jones, the engineer, and state officials, to go over construction documents one last time to make sure values and such are correct. Flint said, knock on wood, they should be able to start drawing down funds in less than a month. During the new busi-
ness portion of the meeting, the board went over federal earmark requests being sent to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R) and U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie (RKY 2nd district), to the tune of $1 million from transportation funds/infrastructure, for the construction of the dock. The final date for submission is at the end of February, but Flint said it could be a while before they find out if the funds will be appropriated, though hopefully before the August break in session. However, he said Riverport has a good track record of using federal funds, because of the money used to build the road on the property, so he’s optimistic about the chance of receiving the money. The Meade County Riverport Authority meets the first Tuesday of each month, 6:30 p.m., at the Meade County Courthouse.

From page A1 be assigned to different agencies, which is necessary due to a growth in the demand for public radio channels. “By cutting in half from 25 (kHz) to 12.5 (kHz) there’s now more room for channels to be licensed out,” he said. As discussions fleshedout the process in detail, Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft asked how much the narrowbanding will cost. Kunzman said he first has to get an inventory from every emergency response agency in the county of what type of equipment they use before he can determine how large or small the scope of the project is. “I think we need to get an idea of the dollar amounts we’re talking about,” Craycroft said. State fire marshal Chris Crawford, who also serves as president of the Meade County Fire Chiefs and Officers Association, said having a communication system that’s completely functional should be the utmost importance because residents’ lives are at stake if the transition doesn’t happen correctly and by the deadline. Craycroft agreed, but asked where the money for the switch-over will come from. “If the federal government is going to make us do this ... then they should provide grant money or something available to help us out on this,” he said. Kunzman said Hardin County recently narrowbanded, though through a different process, for a cost
of roughly $2 million. Any equipment older than 10 years will most likely need to be replaced, Kunzman said, because it won’t be narrowband capable. Newer equipment will have to be programmed to become narrowbanded. Meade County Fire District Chief Larry Naser spoke concerns about how his department was expected to purchase new pagers — possibly as many as 60 or more — for its volunteer firefighters, and other necessary equipment. He suggested fiscal court, EMS and the county’s eight fire districts band together to hash out a plan for funding this mandated project. Tom Bridge, Meade County E-911 GPS technician, asked if the FCC was going to require agencies to downsize again in the future, after money is spent this go-round downsizing from 25 kHz to 12.5 kHz. Kunzman said it’s likely the FCC will require a transition down to 6.25 kHz or from analog wireless systems to digital in the 2020s, which could quite possibly entail updating and purchasing newer equipment. “The lifespan of an average radio is about 10 years,” Kunzman said, “so I think that’s the FCC’s plans in regard to that.” Monday’s meeting continued for more than an hour-and-half, and concluded with county agencies asked to take inventory of the year and style of equipment they use for wireless communications. “That’s a good first step, is seeing where each agency stands,” Kunzman said. “We’re here to help you through the process ...we understand this is a large impact on your departments.”

FEATURES Famous(ly) failed encounters
The News Standard - A9
Friday, February 5, 2010
There certainly wasn’t much in my past to suggest I’d have unusual encounters with some of the world’s most famous people. Although, perhaps a clue to my future lay in the fact the Pulaski High class of ’66 turned out more than a few notables of its own. Whoever would have dreamed cherub-faced church piano player Marlon Hargis would soon become a member of Exile, one of the most honored country/rock groups of all time. Most notable of all may be the tall kid from Poplarville, H. Russell Farmer. If you’ve checked out any Kentucky Educational Television (KET) programming at all over the last 30 years, you’ve no doubt seen some of his work as producer and director of programming. The recipient of numerous rewards for broadcasting, fans of Bluegrass are grateful for his having produced Jubilee, a KET series which filmed live festival performances throughout the state. An honor bestowed upon Russ by the Kentucky Broadcasters Association led to him having a permanent place in the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum at Renfro Valley. My career path as a journalist put me in the midst of many other highly recognizable figures. I only wish I’d met them with more dignity. Take the time I sat across a table from Vice-President Dick Cheney, one of only three journalists invited to ask then candidate Cheney questions. The other two reporters probably asked him something important. I don’t recall because I was too occupied with trying to come up with my question. Finally, my turn came, and I said… “Mr. Cheney, do you know where you are?” Then there was the time I arrived late at a groundbreaking ceremony and saw a friendly-looking fellow sitting alone on the back row. I extended my hand, and told him I knew we’d prob-

Then I asked if he lived in the area. “No son, I live in Nashville,” he said, ever so politely. In checking the event program later on, I regretted not having gotten there in time to hear Lee Greenwood sing “God Bless the USA.” I’ve always been one who doesn’t like wearing glasses anymore than I absolutely have to, and that little habit landed me in an embarrassing situation once. It was about two years after I befriended NFL football coach Buddy Ryan that he made a special trip to my newspaper office with his twin sons, Rex and Rob. At the time, Ryan was living on a farm in the county where I served as editor of the local newspaper. All I remember about that day was looking up to see the blurred images of three really big people standing in the lobby outside my office. When I failed to recognize or acknowledge them, Buddy took his boys and went away, angry they were being ignored. Now it pains me to tune into the NFL and see Rex standing along the sidelines directing his New York Jets, and big Rob serving as de-
fensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. When William Shatner was flying high as captain of the Star Ship Enterprise on “Star Trek,” probably a lot of people would have given their right arm to spend some quality time with him. My opportunity came when his attorney (a friend of mine) invited me to have lunch with the two of them at a small, out-of-the-way restaurant in Woodford County. No one had told me the not-so-personable Canadian had an overly-inflated ego and didn’t like hearing other people’s opinions. We listened as Shatner shared his dream of producing a movie about a horse that went from being a county fair champion to winning the Kentucky Derby. He said he would be looking throughout the state for appropriate filming sites. I couldn’t resist filling him in on the beauty in and around Pulaski County. I’m pretty sure I hadn’t finished describing Bee Rock, Yahoo Falls, and Burnside Island when he left the table without saying a word.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition wants deserving families in Ky. Submitted by Lauren Spiegel ABC Casting Director Do you know a family whose home deserves an Extreme Makeover?

index?pn=apply Each episode of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is self-contained and features a race against time to complete a project that would ordinarily take at least four months, involving a team of designers, contractors and several hundred workers who have just seven days to totally rebuild an entire property: every single room of the house, plus the exterior and landscaping. The lives of the lucky families are forever changed when they learn that they have been selected to have their home walls moved, their floors replaced and even their façades radically changed. The result should be a decorator’s delight… if it can be done in time. Each episode begins with team leader Ty Pennington’s now-famous “Good morning!” wake-up call, when he and his design team surprise the unsuspecting family with news that their home has been chosen to receive a makeover. Viewers not only witness the unbelievable transformation of the house, but during the final and emotional reveal, they see how the home makeover has impacted the lives of the deserving families. The design team includes team leader Ty Pennington, with designers Paul DiMeo, Paige Hemmis, Michael Moloney, Ed Sanders, Tracy Hutson, Eduardo Xol, John Littlefield and Didi Ayer.
Recent health research supports the benefits of eating dark chocolate in moderation, including helping to lower high blood pressure. Plant phenols — and in the case of dark chocolate, cocoa phenols — are the compounds known to lower blood pressure. Chocolates made in Europe are generally richer in cocoa phenols than those made in the U.S. This recipe for Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate Cake should be made with high-quality, premium dark cocoa powder for the best results.

Band seeks to update equipment trailer with community support Submitted by Stephanie Meredith and Mike Stroud Meade Co. Band Booster Trailer Campaign Committee In 1999, the Meade County Band moved into the next level of band travel. The boosters were able to acquire a semi-tractor and trailer, manufactured in 1977. Since then, the band has traveled 5,000 miles. Having endured the weather and road trips to compete in numerous competitions around our beautiful state and beyond, the current trailer has deteriorated showing that it is at the end of a normal operational life. To support the Meade County band program, the band boosters have launched a Capital Campaign Fundraiser to raise money for the replacement of the trailer. It was deemed more cost effective to replace versus repair the current trailer. With this replacement, we will be gaining a much newer, larger and safer mode of transport for the band’s equipment. The band booster’s capital fund raising committee has generated donations from businesses and private donors. However, the band is in need of the community’s assistance. The boosters desperately need the Meade County community’s charitable donations to finish this important project. Will you please help our high school’s instrumental music program take their show on the road with a new and improved trailer and bring pride to the community for many years to come? Your generous tax-deductible donations may be made by check or money order payable to: Meade County Band Boosters, c/o
Stephanie Meredith, 4776 Brandenburg Road, Brandenburg, KY 40108 If you prefer to make a cash donation, please contact one of our committee members: Mike Stroud, committee chair at 270300-8531; Russ Meredith at 502-817-1801; Betty Tuohey at 270-312-7133; Vicky Stull at 270-422-1283; Terri Pettit at 270-980-0815; Sherman Coomer at 502-3225964; Stephanie Meredith, treasurer, at 270-828-6256; James Journey, booster president, at 270-828-4373 Please remember, your generous act today will echo in the kids for many generations. Band fundraiser features pasta buffet at Doe Run Inn Doe Run Inn and the Meade County Band Boosters present a special Thursday Night Italian Buffet with a pasta station every Thursday in February. On those Thursdays, from 5-8 p.m., $2 of every adult buffet ($11.99) and $1 of every kid’s buffet ($5.99) will be donated to the band boosters’ efforts to fund a new trailer. The special Thursday pasta buffets include: baked ziti, vegetable and beef lasagna, Italian herb roasted chicken, fried chicken, roast beef, chicken fingers, salad bar, roasted red peppers, roasted zucchini and squash, a pasta station and several desserts such as Tiramisu, Italian cream cake and assorted pies. Eat like a pig, chow down on some pasta and raise money for the band at the same time. So that we may have enough food, please make a reservation at least a day ahead of time by calling 270-422-2579

Students from the Titans and Sparks groups pose with their fundraiser check. From left to right in the back row are principal Chad Butler, Kayla Brown, Brian Popham, Michael Gardner, Zachary Gardner, Jarrod Foushee and teacher Amanda Love. In the front, from left to right are teacher Amy Lewis, DeAnndrea Luney, Jennifer Whelan and Jacob Whelan. By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com Thanks to the civic-minded students at Stuart Pepper Middle School, more than $4,000 will soon go toward humanitarian efforts in devastated Haiti. As discussions in Amanda Love’s social studies class focused on the current state of Haiti, students took it upon themselves to raise money for the hungry, injured and grief-stricken Haitian population that is still in disarray after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that left the city’s capital and it’s outlying regions in ruins on Jan. 12. Love said her social studies classes discussed the difference between American citizens’ responsibilities and
rights in regard to the Haiti disaster. “There was an overwhelming number of students that said, yes, this is our responsibility to help,” Love said. Students organized a weeklong fundraiser, challenging each other as to which class could raise the most money. The winning group would be awarded with a pizza party courtesy of Mr. Gatti’s. Love said some students were so dedicated to the cause that they organized bake sales in front of local businesses. Others, gathered donations from their family members and church members. Initially, Love and her students hoped to raise about $500. But that goal was far surpassed.
A total of $4,860 was generated through students’ efforts, and all of it will go toward Doctors Without Borders, an international medical humanitarian group, that was the aid relief organization selected by students. “I couldn’t believe it,” Love said. “I’m so proud of them.” Students said it was important to them to help people in need. DeAnndrea Luney received $100 from a family member for earning good grades on her report, but she donated the entire $100 to the Haiti fundraiser. “I figured the people in Haiti needed it more than I did,” Luney said. “If something like this happened to us I would want the people
of Haiti to help us out.” “I really, really wanted to do this ... to help out,” said Jennifer Whelan. Principal Chad Butler was overwhelmed with the charitable and dedicated attitude students put forth to make the fundraiser such a powerful success. “The whole thing was student-driven,” said principal Chad Butler. “It was their idea and they made it happen.” Students from teacher Amy Lewis’s Titans team raised the most money and students from Love’s Sparks group helped initiate the fundraiser.

AGRICULTURE What is a pesticide? 45th Annual Farm Machinery Show revs up next week at KY Exposition Center Friday, February 5, 2010
A12 - The News Standard
Andy Mills
Ag & Natural Resources According to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), a pesticide is “... any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any insect, rodent, nematode, fungus, weed, or any other forms of life declared to be a pest; and any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant.” Pesticides fall into two categories: Restricted Use Pesticides (RUP) and General Use Pesticides (GUP). RUP are materials that can cause adverse effects on the applicator or the environment, even when used according to label directions. GUP are materials that have low potential to harm the applicator or the environment when used according to instructions on the label. Legally, a person has to be a certified applicator in
order to purchase and use RUP. A person does not have to be a certified applicator in order to purchase and use GUP. Those pesticides are available for sale on the shelves in discount and home and garden stores are usually GUP. In most cases, problem pests around the home and garden can be controlled with a General Use Pesticide. In order to purchase or use RUP, a person must have some special training to become certified. Private applicator certifications will be offered at the Meade County Extension Office on Tuesday, Feb. 16 at 10 a.m. or 7 p.m. Those needing to purchase RUP need to have a certified applicator card. Attending one of these trainings is the only way to receive one. Other trainings may be offered if the need arises. To register, please contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-422-4958. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

BUSINESS Brandenburg Eye Associates has a new name, familiar faces The News Standard - A13
Friday, February 5, 2010
by Lindsey Corley
lindsey@thenewsstandard.com
Dr. Carl Sydnor has been helping the people of Meade County and the surrounding areas see better for 20 years and now, the people of Black’s Eye Associates, are helping Sydnor focus on his passion — customer care. Sydnor, originally from Hardin County, said he started his business, the former Brandenburg Eye Care, after he finished school and found out this area did not have access to proper eye care. “I pursued the opportunity,” he said. “And I’ve never regretted it.” Eye care in rural areas has a unique set of circumstances and Sydnor said he’s seen it all, from debris in the eyes of those who work outside, to fish hooks embedded in the eye and even pig’s teeth in a patient’s retina. “Nothing surprises me,” he said. The country setting has allowed Sydnor to see a variety of patients, likely moreso than someone practicing in a city setting, he said, because of the isolation. But along with that came the day-to-day operations of the business, like filing insurance claims and paperwork. In stepped Dr. Brad Black and Black’s Eye Associates, located in offices in Southern Indiana and Kentucky. That practice has been in business for 25 years and Drs. Black, Kris Pugh and Curtis Jordan, along with their associates, have been nationally recognized for their work in the vision industry. Sydnor said he’s been working with the team for about six years and the opportunity to merge with them offered him the ability to return to more patient care and that’s something
he couldn’t pass up. The merger will also allow Brandenburg Eye Associates, which, in addition to Sydnor, employs a licensed optician and a certified paraoptometic, to provide more services within the practice. “We have sub-specialties,” Sydnor said, including those that focus on pediatrics, retinas, cataracts, LASIK and more. Sydnor said the merger will also give customers the opportunity of provided transportation, should any of their treatment require a visit to Black’s offices in Jeffersonville, Ind., or New Albany, Ind., or any one of the 14 satellite offices. “This will be very helpful to our rural patients,” Sydnor said. “That’s something I never would have been able to do.” The merger also ensures Sydnor will have access to more buying power. Being part of a larger practice could mean better discounts and a higher quality of materials. Plus, Sydnor said having the opportunity to simplify his life by focusing more on his patients is one of the many positive aspects of the merger. “My full responsibility here now is just seeing patients,” he said. “That’s what I love — patient care.” Sydnor is opening the doors of his practice to the public for a grand re-opening Wednesday, Feb. 10, from 12:30 to 6 p.m. A ribbon cutting ceremony, with the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce, will occur at noon. The event will feature a finger-food lunch, door prizes and specials on eye exams, glasses and contacts. For more information, stop by the office at 732 High Street, or call Amanda at 270-4224241. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Greenwave basketball gets a much needed victory over LaRue County
THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI
Senior wrestlers pose with their warm-ups — which were given to them as a gift — during senior night on Jan. 27.
When the Meade County wrestling program started, the team had a small freshmen class of five wrestlers. Four years later the once-small freshman class bloomed into the 10 wrestlers who make up the largest senior class in the program’s history. “They all started their freshman year,” said Meade County head coach Bob Davis, of the class of 2010 wrestlers. “They all wrestled a lot and they took their lumps. They’ve meant a lot to this program. They’re going to be a huge loss.” Because this is the first class to

The Meade County Greenwave basketball team had their best 3-point shooting game of the season last Friday against the Breckinridge County Tigers. But with 10 seconds left on the clock, sophomore guard Chase Garris took an open 3-point shot which clanked off the back of the rim. The ball fumbled around a havoc mass of hands as time expired and the scoreboard weighed on Breckinridge County’s side, 54-53. “We got a good look,” said Meade County head coach Jerry Garris. “(Chase) was wide open. I don’t fault Chase for taking it. If it goes in we’re heroes right now. But we missed it and kind of kicked the ball around and the time ran out.” “We’ve said all year for us to be successful we had to shoot 3’s well,” he added, whose team hit a season-high 12 3-pointers. “I thought tonight we did good enough to win. That’s just part of the game.” Breckinridge County has won four of the last five games against the Greenwave, including two straight THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI

wrestle all four years of the program’s existence, it was a special senior night on Jan. 27. The 10 wrestlers and three trainers were honored at the James R. Allen Freshman Academy gymnasium before a JV match. “This class is the foundation of the program,” Davis said. “Or, you can say the pillar of this program. They have kept it together, they have stayed together and they have grown together.” Junior Mason, James Childress, Dylan Pike, Tyler Crow and Joey Carter all started out as freshmen. Then five more wrestlers,

January has been very friendly to the Meade County Lady Waves basketball team. Meade County rounded out the month with a 73-29 win over the Owensboro Lady Red Devils on Jan. 28 to finish with a 6-1 record in 14 days. “We feel like we’re getting things done,” said head coach Josh Hurt. “Tonight was kind of an uneven performance. I thought we looked really good at times and I thought we looked real sloppy at times.” One of the biggest atTHE NEWS STANDARD/ tributes BEN ACHTABOWSKI to the LeAnna Luney late-sea- shoots a jumper. son success is the Lady Waves defense. Against Owensboro a full-court press created 23 turnovers and held the Lady Red Devils to only 18 percent shooting from the field. “Our defense has improved a lot,” said senior Caroline Wilson who had 11 points, nine assists and five steals against the Lady Devils. “We’re a lot more intense. We’ve always been a pretty good offensive team but defense always took second place. But this year we’ve made it more important.” What also has helped Meade County is the comfort it takes in a 1-2-2 full-court press. “We like playing that press,” Wilson said. “Of course we’re going to like any defense that is going to get us the ball.” “We’re guarding much better,” Hurt said. “We’re getting more things done on the defensive end of the floor. Our whole team is really working hard. We have found a full court press we really like. Defensively we’ve been shutting teams down and we have been getting points off our defense which helps us that much more.” Owensboro scored five points in the first four minutes of the game, but was shut out during the next four minutes as the Lady Waves went on a 14-0 run to end the quarter. Meade County then put up a 16-point second quarter to extend their lead to 36-14 at the half. During the first half the Lady

Waves had four basketand-foul plays where the and-one situation created three points. “It’s a sign of strength,” Hurt said. “It’s a sign of getting to the basket and not fading away. We’re not afraid to take the contact and finish. We really try to attack the basket as much as we can.” In the second half, Meade County put up 37 points, shot almost 52 percent from the field and marked 45 percent from the 3-point arc. Mallory Wathen led the Lady Waves with 13 points and Bliss Powers had 12 points and six rebounds. Scarlett Power had 11 points and four rebounds. Carly Evans recorded 10 points and six boards. With a month remaining in the season, the Lady Waves look to finish strong despite a tough schedule. “You always have to worry about that,” Hurt said about fizzling out at the end of the season. “We have a tough schedule coming. A lot of the games are on the road. The key to us staying sharp is facing tough competition and having to go on the road and strengthen ourselves even more, to have that ‘us against the world’ mentality whenever you’re at someone else’s place.” The Lady Waves will finish their regular season with six of seven games on the road. Their only home game is senior night on Feb. 16 against Oldham County starting at 7:30 p.m.

Kristin Benton pulls down a rebound against Owensboro. Lady Waves lose to No. 1 Daviess County Meade County traveled to the 3rd region No. 1 team Daviess County on Tuesday night for Jan. 30’s make-up game and lost 70-57. The Lady Waves came out slow against Daviess County and only scored 10 points in the first quarter. However, Meade County fought back to cut Daviess County’s lead to 3, 49-46, heading into the fourth
quarter. Daviess County rallied to score 21 points in the final 8 minutes to claim the victory. Meade County struggled from beyond the 3-point arch and only shot 20 percent, while losing the free throw battle 22-7. Evans led the Lady Waves with 19 points and eight rebounds. Scarlett Powers had 13 points and eight rebounds, while Caroline Wilson had nine points and four assists.
SPMS players named all-state
This week, Isaiah Satram sported a new haircut and a new starting position on the Meade County Greenwave basketball team. Satram scored 15 points in the Greenwave’s fifth win of the season (5-15, overall 3-2 district) against the visiting LaRue County Hawks, 5848, on Tuesday. “My mom did this,” Satram said who shaved stair step lines on the right side of his head. “It was a little something different. I played well though, maybe I should start doing this more often.” The win was important for the whole Greenwave team which was rebounding from Friday’s district loss against Breckinridge County. “I was concerned with how we would play tonight,” said head coach Jerry Garris. “I think our kids really responded. We could have felt sorry for ourselves and hung our heads. But we didn’t.” The LaRue County game was the Greenwave’s first win in February and Satram felt like this was a new start. “We needed a win period,” he said. “It’s a good way to start the month. We just need to come out and play like it’s a district game every game.” Meade County was down, 26-24 heading into halftime against the Hawks. Garris motivated the team in the locker room. “I got after them pretty hard at halftime,’ he said.
THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI
Isaiah Satram led the Greenwave offense against LaRue County on Tuesday night. “That’s the hardest I got after them since December and I think they responded pretty well.” Meade County went on a 17-6 run to open up the half. The Greenwave had only four turnovers during the entire second half while they went to the free throw line 22 times — Satram went 6-for-7 from the charity stripe. “We were more aggressive tonight,” Garris said. “We got to the free throw line and shot the ball well. Isaiah looked really good tonight. This might have been the best game he’s played all year — on both ends of the floor. He guard-
ed their best player.” Satram, along with sophomore guard Chase Garris defended LaRue County’s high scorer Kyle Sheeran who only made 12 points on 11 shots. Chase Garris had seven points in the game and five assists, Thomas Wilson had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Senior forward Will Campbell had 11 points and 12 rebounds. Meade County travels to Ohio County tonight for an 8:30 p.m. tip-off, tomorrow they play the first game of the boy-girl double header at Cloverport Fredrick Fraize starting at 6 p.m.

wins at Meade County. The Greenwave are struggling to find wins; they have lost 10 of the last 12 games to make up for a 4-15 season record. The loss also secured the Tigers’ No. 1 seed in the district tournament. “You have years like this where you feel like you never catch a break,” Jerry Garris said. “That’s where we’re at right now; we just can’t catch a break.” Adding to its problems, Meade County lost its leading scorer and rebounder sophomore guard Cheaney Schwartz on Jan. 26 when he suffered a wrist injury. Schwartz had been averaging 12 points and six rebounds. Meade County has lost three leading scorers throughout the season in the last five years. Last year, Jonathan Ives tore an ACL two weeks into the season, while Jordan Benock was injured during the last two weeks of the 2005 season. “Injuries are a part of the game,” the Greenwave coach said. “I understand that. But losing a leading scorer like that is tough to come back from. But we had some players step up for us.” One of the players to step up at Friday’s game was freshman guard Bryce Garris, who came off the bench to score a career-high 15 points. He made five 3-pointers in the game including the go-ahead triple with 25 seconds remaining in the game, which put the score at 53-52. “Usually every time I shoot the ball I think it’s going in,” Bryce Garris said. “When I took that shot I wanted it to go in and it did. Not many freshmen get to take a big shot like that.” During the ensuing play Breckinridge County scored the eventual winning basket when junior point guard Timmy Tucker made a lay-up with 11 seconds on the clock. He ended the night with eight points and four assists. Being a tight district rival matchup, Meade County suffered a debilitating Tigers’ six-point play with 3:24 left in the fourth quarter. Tucker hit a free throw and missed his second. Breckinridge County junior forward Wade Weatherholt hauled in the rebound but was fouled in the process. With the Greenwave bench arguing the call, assistant coach Mike Schwartz was nailed with a double technical. Weatherholt shot six free throws as a result of the foul and double technical — he made five of them. Breckinridge kept possession of the ball and made a jumper to take the lead 48-45 with 3:05 left in the game. “I think the referee misinterpreted things,” Jerry Garris said. “Mike wasn’t hollering at the official. Regardless, that happens. Even with that we still had a chance. That didn’t beat us. Sure it took a little momentum from us.” “They scored eightpoints in one possession,” Wilson said. “You never really see that in a basketball game. It’s like a football score. It took the wind out a little bit. But we never quite regained from that.” After that play, Meade County only made two more field goals the remainder of the game. Breckinridge County also had 25 free throw attempts and made 17 in the game while Meade County made three of eight. “We played the game well, we just got killed at the free throw line,” Wilson said. “That’s the difference.” Wilson had a team-high 16 points and also had five assists to help pick up the loss of Cheaney Schwartz. “Coach Garris talked all week that someone has to step up,” Wilson said. “I

think everyone stepped up. Chase had all those rebounds and Bryce made those shots. Everybody did something tonight.” Chase Garris also had a big night with nine points and nine rebounds. “I’m really pleased with what we did tonight,” Jerry Garris said. “Players stepped up tonight. Hopefully we can keep doing this for the next month. We need this kind of effort every night.” Despite playing well, the backbreaking loss still had a stinging effect on the team. “We’re struggling for wins right now and we’ll take anything we can get,” Wilson said. “Whenever you’re in a ballgame like that, you’re battling and then you can’t pull it out … it hurts pretty bad.” During the game the teams participated in the Coaches vs. Cancer Weekend, where coaches wore tennis shoes and suits. After the first quarter cancer survivors passed around buckets for donations. More than $400 was collected during the game.
a mobster. I don’t know why, I guess it’s just kind of a joke.” The section named itself the “JG Mafia” and was the basketball team’s close associate by booing referees, heckling players and cheering on the Greenwave during the rival game. The main wiseguys of the section are seniors J.B. Greer and Tyler Mattingly, who spent the previous night taping life-size photos of Garris’ head onto paint sticks for the students to wave. “We see that kind of stuff in (ESPN’s) College Gameday,” Greer said of the life-size masks. “So we were influenced by that. We want to be like those college student sections. That would be awesome.” The Meade County student section has always prided itself as the Greenwave’s sixth man. Earlier during the season when Meade County faced the Hancock County Hornets, the section carried fly swatters and some even wore beekeeper’s gear. “We want to be known as intimidating,” Mattingly said. “This is our senior year.” “We want to be the most

spirited class to come out of Meade County,” Tyler Yates added. Like many high school ideas, such as the JG Mafia, word spreads like wildfire and several days after the idea originated the whole student section looked like little Sicily. “We started out with a couple of people and then it starts to spread,” Tyler Mattingly said. “We tell everyone to tell their friends and just get everybody together and get everyone dressed like this. It’s pretty neat to get a student section to dress up together.” The section was also responsive during the game with low rumbling boos rattling the gym when the Tigers hit the floor. The frothing crowd sounded like Tommy gun chatter when the Greenwave took the lead with 25 seconds left. Despite a Greenwave loss, the Breckinridge/ Meade County rivalry is still as intense as a Prohibition Era gang war. “Obviously we don’t like each other,” Greer said of Breckinridge County. “They don’t like us and we don’t like them. So we just try to get in their heads and try to win the game for our team.” And on Friday night the student section won the battle … capisce?

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was American writer Cullen Hightower who made the following sage observation: "Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else's can shorten it." •If you were asked to name the northernmost of the United States, I'm sure you'd have no trouble naming Alaska. And you probably also know that Alaska is the westernmost state of the union. You might be surprised, however, to learn that Alaska is also the easternmos state. Yep. The Aleutian Island chain crosses the International Dateline, placing a few of the islands in the Far East. •Thanks to the fact that their eyes are placed on the sides of their heads, rabbits can see behind themselves without turning their heads.

Horoscopes HOCUS-FOCUS
By Henry Boltinoff © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) All that flattery and fawning shouldn't affect any decision you have to make. Keep your focus on the facts and ignore all the hyperbole, especially if it gets uncomfortably personal. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your Bovine instincts are on the mark about that "favor" you're being asked to do. Agree to nothing unless you get a full explanation -- which you would check out first, of course. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A somewhat unsettled recent period should give way to a smoother time going through the week. Use this quieter time to catch up on matters you might have had to let slide. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Feeling a little confused is understandable with all those mixed messages. Take time to list the questions you have. Then present them and insist on answers that make sense. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Cupid can be very helpful for Lions seeking a love connection. The chubby cherub also brings warm and fuzzy feelings to paired Leos and Leonas who already share a special love line. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sep. 22) Travel is favored this week, whether you'll be globe-trotting or taking a trip to a nearby getaway. You might be surprised (or maybe not) by who wants to be your traveling companion. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Getting advice on your next businessrelated move is a good idea, but only if your advisers are trustworthy. Get references that you can check out before you make any decisions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Getting a boost in your self-esteem is one benefit that comes with a job well done. There are other plusses as well, including being noticed by all the right people. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Make time to deal with family matters, especially where they concern your elderly kinfolk. Being there for them from the start can help resolve problems sooner rather than later.
Last Week’s Solutions
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Getting a project started can often be difficult. But the good news is that you won't want for lack of assistance from colleagues who would like to work with you. So, let them! AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A lot of work-related issues might be raised this week, and you need to be prepared for whatever comes along. Things should be easier when it comes to matters in your private life. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) What might appear to be a very much unwanted change in your life right now could turn out to be a very welcome event after all. Give yourself a chance to see where it might take you. BORN THIS WEEK: You exercise your strong leadership qualities well, which is why people believe in you and feel reassured by you.

Now’s the time to bear-proof your property Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — Southeastern Kentucky’s black bears are in their dens for the winter. Now is the perfect time for area residents to bearproof their property before bears re-emerge in spring. While the home areas of bears are primarily restricted to the mountains, some of the following tips are also useful for preventing nuisance wildlife problems with raccoons, opossums and coyotes elsewhere in the state. Steven Dobey, bear program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, noted that garbage kept outside is the main attraction for bears and other wildlife. “The best way to prevent conflicts with bears is to maintain garbage inside some type of enclosed structure like a garage, outbuilding or shed,” he said. “Another very effective way is to invest in a bearresistant garbage container, or you can make one.” Some ingenious bear country residents have found success by building their own bear-proof containers out of discarded metal drums or tanks for outside storage. Alternately, you can cover your existing garbage can or dumpster with chain link or steel mesh to keep bears out. Wild bears are generally wary of people. However, bears that have been conditioned to associate humans with food may lose their natural fear and become nuisances. Open dumpsters, food scraps tossed on the ground and pet food left outside all teach bears that where there are people, there’s food. The same is true for coyotes, raccoons and opossums looking for an easy meal. Measures taken now to make buildings less attractive
to bears and nuisance wildlife will pay dividends in the future by keeping animals wild — and out of trouble. “A large number of male bears will begin to emerge from their dens in mid- tolate March,” Dobey said. “Natural foods are very limited during that time of the year, so bears are looking for food wherever they can find it. Sometimes the easiest meal is garbage near a building. Black bears are extremely opportunistic and intelligent — once they’re rewarded by getting food, they’ll generally return for more.” Beekeepers might consider protecting their hives with electric fencing. High fencing around dumpsters can keep bears out. Even putting away the birdfeeders once the temperatures start to warm can help prevent drawing bears onto your property. If you must feed pets outside, only put out enough for one meal and leave it out for a limited time. Never leave out pet food overnight. For several years now, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has been educating people about how to deal with bears, which are gradually returning to the state. Black bears were once abundant in eastern Kentucky, but their numbers substantially decreased as intensive logging in the early 1900s removed most of their habitat. As hardwood forests grew back and matured throughout the Southern Appalachian Mountains, bears returned to Kentucky from neighboring states. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has not stocked bears. Kentucky now has a naturally reproducing bear population that is growing larger and spreading outward. These bears provide economic and recreational opportunities for Kentuckians. People can safely view bears from a
distance at some state parks and wildlife management areas, and even hunt them under a new season that began in 2009. Once bears learn to associate people with food, however, their benefits can be overshadowed by the problems that may arise. To help protect people, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has relocated and even euthanized problem bears. While moving a bear to another county can sometimes work, a bear that learns to raid garbage will likely continue to do so wherever it resides. “Bears can become extremely tolerant of people, and this creates situations where bears sometimes have to be destroyed,” Dobey said. “There are always safety risks involved when people are near wild animals whose behavior is unpredictable.” Prevention is the key to keeping Kentucky’s bears wild, and to protecting people and their property. First, never feed bears. It doesn’t just lead to potential problems – it is also illegal. Feeding bears or leaving out food scraps in the hopes of attracting one to view or photograph can result in fines up to $1,000 and up to one year in jail. Next, keep trash in an enclosed area such as a garage or shed before trash day. Put trash out on the morning of pick-up rather than the night before. Feed pets inside and keep food scraps with your other garbage rather than throwing them outside. Check out Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Web site, fw.ky.gov, to read more about bear nuisance problems and how you can prevent them. Click on “Species and Programs” under the “Hunting, Trapping and Wildlife” tab, and then click “Black Bears.” Most people can resolve nuisance problems by following these guidelines. If you are

approximately 70 percent of all nuisance complaints we have received are directly related to garbage.” Depending on the specific type of nuisance activity, a Kentucky Fish and Wildlife employee may visit the property personally or provide advice about how to avoid the bear problem. Sometimes the use of nonlethal rubber bullets will teach bears to stay away from an area. Other solutions may include trapping and relocating a bear, or

Charles Satram with Alicia and Lincoln Satram; Joey Carter with Joe and Katie Carter; Cole Aebersold with Ilene Aebersold; Tyler Crow with Charlie and Lori Crow; Mike Brown with Mary Jane and Duanne Thorson; James Childress with Cynthia and Bill Pfohl.
Seniors From page B1 Austin Bejosano, Chaz Nevitt, Mike Brown, Cole Aebersold and Charles Satram, joined the team over the last three years. “It’s a great honor,” said 171-pound Nelson Mason Jr. “I don’t know how to explain it. If you were a Meade County wrestler you’d know the feeling. For you to get out there, wrestle someone else and beat them, there’s no other feeling. To do that for four years has been a great pleasure.” Mason has grown a lot since his freshman year to senior year. He has a 31-8 record this season. “(Being a Greenwave wrestler) has taught me a bunch of leadership skills,” he said. “Being a leader for
two years now has taught me to bring the morale of this team and be a role model for other people.” For 145-pound Austin Bejosano, wrestling has given him many skills that will benefit him in the future when he plans to join the Army. “It’s tough to be a wrestler,” Bejosano said, who has wrestled for three years. “Coach Bob is a great coach. He runs us and drills us hard, but in the end it makes us better. I learned respect, how to learn my temper and actually the biggest thing is I learned how to care for other people. I really care about every teammate of mine … This will help me in my Army career. Like coach Bob says, ‘once you’ve wrestled, everything in life will seem easier.’” Mason also plans to join the ROTC and attend the
University of Kentucky before serving in the Army. “Coach Davis has prepared me (for the Army),” he said. “He’s been yelling at me for three years. This last year he’s been pushing me even harder. He has gotten me prepared for the next wrestling season but also as a man.” What Davis instills in Meade County wrestlers is a love for the game. Several of the seniors expressed interest in eventually becoming wrestling coaches including Dylan Pike and Mike Brown. “They want to be coaches because they’ve lived it,” Davis said. “They have done it. They want to experience the side of teaching it because it’s also a sport that has a lot of technical stuff to it. Wrestling is such a teaching sport and they want to pass it on. They want to share their
art of wrestling. “It’s great to hear that,” he added. “It makes me feel good to hear that these kids want to be coaches. Plus I know there is someone who is going to take my place.” The senior class takes great pride in being the cornerstone of an upstart wrestling program that quickly made an impressive name for itself in the Commonwealth. “I’m honored to be a part of this program,” Mason said. “I want to help this program to be the best in Kentucky. We’re going to be one of those major teams like Ryle or Union. It’s going to be great when I come back in 10 years and see where this program has gone.” The wrestling team will wrestle in the 3rd region tournament Feb. 13 at DeSales High School starting at 9 a.m.
