A local pastor has been arrested on multiple sex abuse charges. Marion C. Barnes, 57, 460 Smith Road, Ekron, Ky., was arrested last week after Kentucky State Police received a complaint of continued sex abuse. According to court records a juvenile living with Barnes told police she had been molested since the
age of 15 years. The victim that the abuse would often take place in exchange for is now 18.

If you were to read the life story of Jane Marlow Willis, it would read much differently than the stories of most people. Known for her adventurous demeanor and unyielding bravery, Willis accomplished a lot in her lifetime, and much of it was to benefit other people. She was well traveled, well educated and known for her giving spirit. And according to one of Willis’ close friends, the unexpected loss of the feisty philanthropist will affect more than just the people who knew her best. “I’m still in shock, it was just so sudden,” Judy Richardson said. “Losing Jane truly is the community’s loss.” Willis began her lifetime of service in Meade County, when she returned to her hometown Brandenburg, after she received her bachelors degree in journalism from Southern Methodist University, in Dallas. She immediately started working with her parents at the Meade County Messenger, and at one point served as president of the Western Kentucky Press Association. Willis and her mother, Thelma, sold the Messenger in 1983. In the wake of the devastating

Her dedication to helping Meade County became even more hands-on when she became a firefighter for the Brandenburg Fire Department in the mid 1970s, a role she kept until around 1986. “She was very much a trend setter in this community,” Brandenburg Fire Chief Larry Naser said. “There weren’t very many women firefighters in the volunteer or the career sector, at that time. It was kind of unique to have a female involved.”
Despite being different, Willis took her job with the Brandenburg Fire Department very seriously. Her commitment to helping others wasn’t confined to inside Meade County lines, or even the U.S. border. And according to Richardson, Willis was indifferent as to whom she helped, and that she went where she was needed, even if it meant going thousands of miles away. “When she wasn’t serving the local community, she was serving

Writer From page A1 the international community. To me, that was her way of being responsible for making the world a better place,” Richardson said. “She took it more personally than other people,” She went on several study missions to places like Ireland, Cuba, the Philippines and Burma. Willis’ most recent international travels took her to Thailand, where she taught English at a catholic school. She stayed in Thailand for three years. According to Sue Gilvin, who knew Willis for her entire
life, Willis was a very capable person who wasn’t bothered by other people’s perception of her. “Jane was very, very talented all of her life, and to a certain degree, a nonconformist,” Gilvin said. According to Gilvin, when Willis was younger, she traveled around Brandenburg on a motorcycle, and that she didn’t care what people thought about a woman riding on a motorcycle. “She was always a source of enjoyment for people in town,” Gilvin said. Despite devoting much of her time serving others, Willis made time to focus on her own life. She enjoyed stitching needlepoint and spending
time with her two cats, who her friends say she loved dearly. Willis was also a very active and devoted member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She enjoyed writing, and authored a couple of books, and also owned a local business, “Wordsmith”, where she produced resumes for people. Willis was a lady of action, and never shied away from an opportunity to change something that she thought need changing. “If she saw something that needed to be done, she’d do what she could to get it done. And sometimes it meant that she had to do it herself,” Richardson said.
My name is John Stinebruner and I am running for Meade Co Sheriff. I I began my law-enforcement career in 2001 and graduated from the Department of Criminal Justice Police Academy. I have certifications in Home Land Security, Peace Officer Professional Standards, FEMA Emergency, and numerous others. I worked for the Sheriff ’s department from 2003 to 2008 and I currently serve as Chief of Police in Muldraugh, KY. I have lived in Meade County for over 20 years and I truly admire the people and I am proud to say this is my home. I have always worked for the people of this county very hard and I have always treated everyone with great respect even in the worst of circumstances. I believe law-enforcement is not all black and white and you must use common sense and have compassion to have the ability to help people. As a police officer it is important to listen to what people are saying because everyone matters. When you work with the citizens you can learn a lot about what is going on in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities. With people working together it makes solving issues a lot easier. When you run for an office it is important to remember where you came from and the community that you are serving. My job will be to work “for the people”. I ask for your support May 18, 2010 as I run the hardest race of my life for what matters the most to me and that is you. If you have any comments, suggestions or concerns I can be reached by e-mail at votestinebruner@ yahoo.com or you may call me at 270-668-9092 and I would be happy to talk with you.

Kroger Co-Manager David Simpson said they decided to re-do the entrance so they could “get better service to customers.” He added that the changes provide more variety, more room and a better selection for customers. More construction is set for Kroger, as they plan to replace the ceiling and tiles. Simpson said the overall construction is expected to be done in July.

Who are the ‘Tea Partiers’? By Jeff Johnson State Director of the Kentucky Patriots
Climate case re-opened and re-argued National Review Climate alarmists conjured a world where nothing was certain but death, taxes and catastrophic global warming. They used this presumed scientific certainty as a bludgeon against the skeptics they deemed “deniers,” a word meant to have the noxious whiff of Holocaust denial. All in the cause of hustling the world into a grand carbon-rationing scheme. Any questions about the evidence for the cataclysmic projections, any concerns about the costs and benefits were trumped by that fearsome scientific “consensus,” which had “settled” the important questions.
A funny thing happened to this “consensus” on the way to its inevitable triumph, though. Its propagators have been forced to admit fallibility. For the cause of genuine science, this is a small step forward; for the cause of climate alarmism, it’s a giant leap backward. The rush to “save the planet” cannot accommodate any doubt, or it loses the panicked momentum necessary for a retooling of modern economic life. Phil Jones is the director of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, a key “consensus” institution that has recently been caught up in an e-mail scandal revealing a mind-set of global-warming advocacy rather than dispassionate inquiry. Asked by the BBC what it means when scientists say “the debate on climate change is over,” the keeper of the flame sounded
chastened. “I don’t believe the vast majority of climate scientists think this,” Jones said. “This is not my view. There is still much that needs to be undertaken to reduce uncertainties, not just for the future, but for the ... past as well.” Jones discussed the highly contentious “medieval warming period.” If global temperatures were warmer than today back in 800-1300 A.D. -— about a thousand years before Henry Ford’s assembly lines began spitting out automobiles — it suggests that natural factors have a large hand in climate change, a concession that climate alarmists are loath to make. Jones said we don’t know if the warming in this period was global in extent, since paleoclimatic records are sketchy. If it was, and if temperatures were higher than now, “then
obviously the late 20th century warmth would not be unprecedented.” Jones also noted that there hasn’t been statistically significant warming since 1995, although the cooling since 2002 hasn’t been statistically significant either. All of this is like a cardinal of the Catholic Church saying the evidence for apostolic succession is still open to debate. In The Boston Globe, MIT climate scientist Kerry Emanuel marshals a new argument for fighting warming: “We do not have the luxury of waiting for scientific certainty, which will never come.” Really? That’s not what we were told even a few months ago -- before climate-alarmism acknowledged doubt. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. Distributed from King Features

maker isn’t headed to the junkyard anytime soon. The year following its recall, Ford sold a record 433,837 Explorers. The market punished Toyota for its safety defects. Since the recall began, its stock plunged 19 percent and it lost tens of billions in market capital. Besides, federal leaders have lost the credibility to fulfill their proper role (impartial regulation) because they took on an improper one - ownership of automotive manufacturing firms. It doesn’t take a transportation secretary to figure out that means “Government Motors” holds a vested interest in weakening its competition. The “check engine” light came on in my Corolla once, but we’re still rolling at 198,173 and counting just like I hope Toyota will be for a long, long time.
that is due to the fact that the major- ity of us hold conservative values, and the Republican Party has, in the past anyway, more closely reflected these values. That is changing, however. Rich Lowry quotes polls that 68 percent of these folks voted for McCain in the 2008 elections. My question is what happened to the other 32 percent? Did they stay at home? Did they vote for someone else? Whatever the answer, it doesn’t bode well for the Republicans. I was once told that I needed to come back to the Republican Party and help change things. I answered that the party needed to change first, and then maybe I would come back. My sense is that most tea-partiers would agree with me. My advice to the leadership and members of all parties is that they begin to care more for the will of the people than for their political careers. Fail to do this, and they risk having the same historical fate as the dinosaurs.
Letters Support Senate Bill 38 Dear Editor, On Thursday (Feb. 25, 2010), Senate Bill 38 is scheduled to be read in the House Health and Welfare Committee. This bill requires the doctor who performs an abortion to offer to show the ultrasound to the patient and requires a face-to-face meeting with the doctor prior to the abortion. With almost all abortions, an ultrasound is performed because that is how the price of the abortion is determined. As a citizen of this Commonwealth, I am calling on our legislators to support this bill. Representative Jeff Greer boasts of his pro-life and pro-family stance. Representative Greer, as a committee chair and a member of the House leadership, I am asking you to vote for or sign a discharge petition to support this important piece of legislation. This bill is stalled in the House and there are rumors that the House leadership wants to kill the bill. There has been no prolife legislation passed in the House since 2004, even though the Senate has sent legislation to the House in every session since 2004. Dalton Jantzen Payneville, Ky.

Punk rocker Sid Vicious said, “Today, everything’s a conflict of interest.” Perhaps. But some interests and the conflicts they cause become greater than others. Gov. Steve Beshear’s recent response to Toyota’s turmoil puts him in a quandary. Beshear gets strong political support from labor unions with a declining but politically potent membership. Yet in the end, his “interest” in getting reelected requires him to defend non-unionized Toyota against federal government grandstanding. Not even the possibility of losing support from “Government Motors” labor-union bosses can counter Beshear’s “interest” in supporting the 6,800 nonunion workers at Toyota’s Georgetown operation - the
Toyota complaints. None of this matters to labor-union bosses and their lackeys in Congress who are bound by a root of bitterness toward a nonunionized manufacturerís success on American soil. The Associated Press reported that James Bell, executive market analyst for the vehicle information provider Kelley Blue Book Co. Inc., claimed executives at one of Toyota’s rivals were “grinning from ear to ear” at a recent meeting. Imagine the disdain of labor-subservient political leaders if Toyota’s top managers were “grinning inanely” at an American competitor’s demise. United Auto Worker bosses’ hissy fits would continue to this day had the nation’s top transportation official told Americans to “stop driving your Explorers” after faulty tires forced the Ford Motor Co. to recall vehicles in 2000 and 2001. Fortunately, history shows that while Toyota’s “check engine” light may have come on, the auto-

automaker’s largest outside Japan. Many of those folks could help decide whether Beshear keeps his job. Whatever his motivation, the governor gets an “Attaboy!” for telling the feds to back off. The Courier-Journal reported that Beshear signed a letter citing Washington’s “obvious conflict of interest because of its huge financial stake in some of Toyota’s competitors,” followed by an interview during which he pointed out: “recalls are common, but the reaction to the three Toyota recalls since November is not.” He’s right. Consider: There have been fewer than 100 reported complaints about the Corolla. Car and Driver executive editor Mike Dushane reported: “the numbers don’t reveal a meaningful problem.” The alleged fatality risk for Toyota vehicles is about one in 200,000 versus a one in 8,000 risk of a fatal car accident in any U.S. car. Media reports largely ignore the role driver inattentiveness may play in the

The mainstream media has constantly struggled to isolate this group as a bunch of “gun-toting, Bible-thumping, right-wing extremists”. The truth is that even the tea-partiers cannot put themselves into a well-defined, cohesive organization. As many of you know, I am a Meade County resident; the founder and State Director of the Kentucky Patriots, a non-partisan, grassroots organization. I started this organization in response to what I saw as an assault upon the American values of self-reliance, hard work, and Judeo-Christian principles. The Kentucky Patriots, while not technically a tea party organization, is definitely a part of the tea party movement. We believe in the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. In the last several months we have become a part of the wave of activism that has swept this nation in an attempt to let our elected officials know that We the People are not happy. The Kentucky Pa-

VIEWPOINTS AND LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rich Lowry
Last week this newspaper ran a column written by Rich Lowry entitled “Tea-Partiers are Republicans at heart.” I read this column with great interest, anxious to know what Rich had to say about the Tea Party movement. As I read this column, I found myself agreeing with much of what Rich had to say, but I feel that he is missing a significant part of what is at the heart of the “Tea Party” phenomenon. The most important fact about the tea party movement is this; it is not a nationally coordinated movement. There is no central leadership, no national (or even state) organization, no agreed upon agenda. Tea partiers are merely a large portion of American citizens who are dissatisfied with our government, and the direction that it has taken.
triots are NOT a part of, nor do we hold any allegiance to, any political party. I am proud to state that we have Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, and Independents in the Kentucky Patriots. Most of us belong to several organizations, local tea party groups among them. The one thing that every one of these grassroots groups agree upon is that there must be a change! There have been many attempts by both major parties to paint the tea party movement into a corner. In Kentucky, two candidates for U.S. Senate, Bill Johnson and Dr. Rand Paul, are giving the choice of the Republican Party, Trey Grayson, a run for his money. Why is this? THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF BUSINESS AS USUAL!!! It is time that the Republicans realized this. Yes, it may be true that most tea-partiers identify with the Rep publican Party, but

PUBLIC NOTICE
Child Find Public Service Announcement Every child has a right to an education. If a child has a disability or developmental delay, early intervention is especially important so that the child can receive the support services he/she needs to become an independent learner and self-sufficient individual. School districts and the First Steps Kentucky Early Intervention System within the eight county Lincoln Train ADD District Area are working together to insure that children and youth with disabilities are identified and enrolled in an appropriate educational program. Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson and Washington County Schools and this area’s Early Intervention System have designated April as project Special Child Month. Each school district offers special education programs to meet the individual needs of children beginning at age 3. These services are free of charge. You may contact your local school district regarding free educational screening for your 3 or 4 year old child. If any citizen knows of a child from birth to 21 years of age who has a disability and who is not receiving specially designed instruction, that individual is urged to call his/her local school district (children ages 3-21) or Point of Entry (ages birth to 3). Children of any age who are referred for services will be evaluated and provided with the help they need to prepare them for school. Kentucky’s public schools and First Steps Early Intervention Programs are for all of Kentucky’s children. It is important that we all work together to see that each child receives the services he/she needs to be successful in life.

TNS welcomes new staffer Jennifer Corbett Staff Writer First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Jennifer Corbett and I’m officially a big kid. No more school, no more homework, no more living the college life. From now on, I’m living the big kid life. I graduated from Northern Kentucky University this past December with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, and boy, let me tell you I counted down the minutes until I was able to finally walk across the stage and receive my degree. No more classrooms and homework for me. I grew up in Louisville right straight off Dixie Hwy. I went to Holy Cross High School and was the typical jock, always playing sports all year round (especially volleyball). Volleyball was essentially my life and I loved every minute of it. I also was involved in cross country, softball and swimming. I had always enjoyed writing, though never considered it a possible career. I would write fictional stories about meeting the Backstreet Boys at a mall or something else cheesy like that. To tell you the truth I thought my future would lead me into a hospital wearing scrubs. I wanted to work in the Emergency Room doing surgeries. However, the mere sight of surgery on TV was beginning to gross me out. But after a small pep talk from an old friend, I realized I was heading down a road that wasn’t for me after all. So after my first year at NKU, I joined the studentrun newspaper The Northerner and, I covered things I never thought I would ever cover. Take for instance a couple of traveling preachers claiming that women should stay in the kitchen or it’s a sin to wear short sleeves. I’ve also covered emotional stories such as the captain of the golf team dying in his sleep. The whole experience was a roller coaster ride, but through all
the blood, sweat and tears I knew I loved every minute of it. I’ve also gotten some professional experience in the intern world. I’ve interned at The Lebanon Enterprise, The Springfield Sun and Kypost. com. I even had my own desk and everything, which is rare for a lowly intern. I covered stories such as a drug program graduation at a local jail, a man biking over 600 miles just to raise money to build a house, a gangster run through Northern Kentucky’s past, and a beauty pageant without all the glitz and glam that is seen on TV. I love getting out there and learning a lot about other people and the experiences they went through. Well, in a way I just love to talk and meet people and then write about it, so in a sense this is the perfect career for me. I knew once graduation came it would be a whole new step for me and it wouldn’t be handed to me on a silver platter. Everyday I went to work at my retail coffee shop job, I knew that this next step wouldn’t come easy for me. After every mocha and every latte, I would giggle like a small child thinking of the places I could go and the people I can meet (as cheesy as it does sound, I actually did). That’s where The News Standard comes into my life. The day I got the call saying I got a job here was one of the happiest days in my life. I even showed up to work about 45 minutes early. Words can’t describe to you how excited I am to show this county what I’m made of. I’m ready to take on everything with a pen, reporter’s pad and camera in hand. My new job duties will entail covering local meetings, designing inside news pages and working with local schools to try to develop ideas on how to get students involved with the paper by either submitting work, pictures, etc., so feel free to send me any ideas. So no more intern desks for me. I have my own desk now (and an office too). Bring it on big kid world— I’m ready.
Web site helps locals network for careers By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard A local company has been cooking an idea of a place that feels like Facebook, yet gives opportunities to find a career, similar to Monster.com. Well, that envision is soon coming to life as Wired 65 prepares to launch the Web site dubbed Kix.com, which stands for “Kentucky, Indiana Exchange.”. This conception was brought to the table at the Meade County Chamber of Commerce meeting Feb. 16 where two representatives from Wired 65 talked about a new program coming to Meade County that could essentially beam some optimism into the future of this region. “This new project allows us to shine an even brighter spotlight on the region,” said Beth Avey, a member of the project team for Wired 65. According to a recent press release, Kix.com will “offer a comprehensive database of employer needs to forecast necessary workforce skills, occupations where educational curriculum or training programs needs to be developed, occupations that will expand or decline, and other data that can guide or redirect talent and funds.” In lighter terms, what this means is a job-searching Web site, with the social networking aspect for the Meade County area. “(The Web site) is set out to change the way the region recruits a talented work
force,” said Kenny Rambo, representative for Wired 65. Avey agreed. “It’s all about attracting and retaining talent.” The Web site plans on retaining talent to the area by: leveraging state-of-theart technology to build a powerful, data-driven regional portal; by being the tool for regional talent and economic development effort; by being the engine for matching employers, talent and training. After Avey and Rambo explained more about the Web site, Avey walked around the room pointing at different people in the community asking how many people are not from here and moved here; moved here, moved away and then came back, which is referred to as a “boomerang”; or are “transplants,” which is people who have lived here and never left. She then asked what the community would be like if none of those people were here. Both Avey and Rambo asked the crowd what their favorite part about this community was. “The people!” one person said. “The sense of community,” another person echoed. “Our economic future depends on this region not being a secret anymore,” Rambo said. “This virtual community can’t function without everyone.” Avery reiterated by saying “help us tell your story.” The Web site is set to launch in mid April.

Matney to seek reelection as County Attorney Submitted by the office of Margaret Matney
traits I believe I demonstrate every day. Over the past three years, my office has received more than 1200 citizen complaints, ranging from disputes between neighbors to allegations of domestic violence. Every complaint that comes in is investigated, and many times my staff or I can resolve issues by serving as mediators between the parties. I am proud to have put together a great team in the
county attorney’s office. Our success rate reflects that my staff is dedicated to serving the community and the office. We have a more than 99 percent conviction rate for DUI offenses. We have collected more than $504,000.00 in cold check payments for local merchants. We have also collected more than $7,391,000.00 in child support over the past three years. My child support staff and I were recognized in 2009 with an Outstanding Performance Award given to only 20 out of the 120 counties in our state. As County Attorney, I am also responsible for collecting delinquent taxes, a task that requires sensitivity and understanding. Most people want to pay their taxes, but in these hard economic times, it can difficult. In 2009, I worked with the County Clerk’s Office to establish
a payment plan consistent with changing tax laws that allows citizens to pay their delinquent taxes over time. Those who took advantage of the program were able to avoid a tax sale. I am a native of Letcher County but chose to make my home in Meade County after graduating from law school at the University of Kentucky in 1999. When I moved here, I knew this community was where I wanted to raise a family. We have so many people here who care about making Meade County the best it can be, and that spirit crosses party lines on a daily basis. This is evident when you see neighbors working together to better our community despite their political affiliation. I am proud to positively contribute to that effort and appreciate your support and vote.

said FEMA may think “it is in an area that, although it will be very beneficial when its done, it might take three months and totally disrupt the flow of traffic, and what kind of economic impact it may have on the residents and the commercial property around it.” In turn, Bowling and Mayor David Pace have been apart of committee meetings where representatives from across the county and reviewed the past data, try to fill some gaps and came up with a list of “Meade County Specific Projects.” “Just because we have this (list) does not mean we are locked into these 14 things,” Pace said. Bowling added, “ just because these projects are on these lists doesn’t mean they will get funded but it is on its first step to getting funded.” Overall, Bowling said the document is 95 percent finished. Her last step is to visit the participating counties during February. “It’s a big, hefty document but it will have a lot of useful tools in it once we get it finished,” she said. The next item on the city council’s agenda was the possible face-lift of the Meade County Library. “What we want to do is basically redo the boundaries,” said Rachel Baelz,
director of Meade County Library. What the proposed construction entails is for the library to create a trial that would circle the building and its parking lots. The library will hire architects to design the path to give it a “park-like atmosphere,” which is set to cost around $4500. The total layout of the construction designates spots for benches, trees and even an outdoor café area next to the library. After the remodeling, the city of Brandenburg would loose approximately 2.7 acres of land. Councilwoman Patsy Lusk thought the expansion would be valuable to the community. “To give it an actual park setting you need everything to be spread out,” she said. “It can’t be anything but beneficial.” Baelz agreed with Lusk. “It’s fantastic … It’s a win-win situation,” she said. “(The construction) will benefit everyone in the community.” The board passed the proposed construction unanimously. According to Baelz, no definite date has been set for construction to begin, though they are hoping to break ground this summer. If interested, more detailed pictures on the upcoming construction are hanging up in the library.
Since taking office on January 1, 2007, I have remained dedicated to maintaining my promise to put the citizens of Meade County first. From advising Fiscal Court on legal matters and prosecuting misdemeanor criminal offenses to ensuring the fair collection of delinquent taxes and child support, I have been involved in nearly every aspect of Meade County’s government and judicial processes. For me, I truly believe the key to being successful as County Attorney is being able to balance all aspects of the office. On a daily basis, I encounter a wide variety of issues, and many of them can be sensitive and traumatic to those involved. It requires a great deal of compassion and an ability to relate to people,

The family of Donald Thompson would like to thank everyone for all the kind words and acts of sympathy extended during the loss of a dear husband, Dad, and Pappaw. During the visitation, the many hugs and reminded ‘memories’ gave strength and comfort. The cards, donations, food, plants, flowers, and especially the prayers were very much appreciated. We want to express our gratitude to the members of Cold Spring Baptist and Blue River Island Baptist for surrounding us with support, encouragement, and a most delicious meal. Special thanks to Bro. Stuart Skaggs and Larry Johnson who made Donald’s funeral service a celebration of a life whose strength, positive outlook and good humor touched many. We were moved by the sweet words of Kari Wagner concerning her Pappaw; and for arranging the special music. We would also like to acknowledge Bruington Funeral Home for being so kind and helpful at this time. ~The Thompson Family “Hear me, O Lord; for Thy loving kindness is good; turn unto me according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies.” ~Psalm 69:16

Silent type usually does not change
Nicole Blevins Licensed Massage Therapist Bring in this ad for 10 OFF your 1st massage $
James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: My boyfriend doesn’t talk to me very much. He’s just a very quiet and shy person. Will he always be this way? I just wish he’d tell me what he’s thinking and feeling. DR. DOBSON: Your question reminds me of the 12-year-old boy who had never spoken a word. His parents and siblings thought he couldn’t talk because they’d never heard his voice. Then one day the boy’s mother placed some soup in front of him, and he ate a spoonful. Then he pushed the bowl away and said, “This is slop, and I won’t eat any more of it!” The family was ecstatic. He’d actually spoken a complete sentence. They all jumped around gleefully, and his father said, “why haven’t you ever talked to us before?” The boy replied, “because up until now everything has been OK.” Maybe your boyfriend will surprise you one day with a flurry of words, but I doubt it. Shyness and an
introverted personality result primarily from an inborn temperament that tends to be very persistent throughout life. Research shows that approximately 15 percent of children are genetically programmed to be somewhat introverted like your friend and that most of them will always be that way. It appears that some people just seem to be born “noisy,” and others prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves. Your boyfriend may be one of the latter. If you choose to marry him, I hope you’ll do so with your eyes wide open. You’re probably not going to change him. Many women fall in love with the strong, silent type and then resent their men for the rest of their lives because they won’t talk to them. It is a very common source of frustration among women. But that’s the way it is. QUESTION: I’m in my early 20s and trying to figure out a career path and general direction for my life. What do you suggest for a person like me? How can I get my rocket to lift off the pad? DR. DOBSON: First, you need information. You
might begin by going to an occupational psychologist or another knowledgeable counselor who can assess your skills and interests. There are excellent psychometric tests available today that will acquaint you with your own abilities. Computers will analyze your responses and correlate them with those of people who are successful and contented in given professions. You might be surprised at what you can learn about yourself from an occupational inventory. Second, you should begin an energetic exploration of eight or 10 occupations that you might find exciting. Visit people who are working in those fields, and ask them for advice and counsel. Attack this problem like a private investigator who is determined to unravel a mystery. Leave no stone unturned. Third, when you’ve identified the area of greatest interest, commit to it. Beyond that point there’s no looking back. Even if there might be a more attractive goal out there somewhere, there comes a point where you have to get on with life. Take your best shot and stay with it
until you have a more secure and certain alternative to chase. Finally, remember that the Lord is mindful of your decision too. What you do with your life is important to Him because He cares about you. Lean heavily on prayer and godly counsel as you zero in on a choice. There is no other way to make any decision that is of critical significance. The psalmist wrote, “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.” (Psalm 137:1, NIV) Those words offer incredible meaning for you and your peers at this stage in life. Whatever you try to accomplish will be useless if you do it in your own strength. That may sound very old-fashioned, but I promise you it is true. 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.

People must commit to a higher being Dan Newton Divine Guidance
Psalm 37: 5 says, “Commit thy way unto the lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass .“ Frustration must come as the saints of God battle with evil forces. The pain and pressure of torment is nonetheless real as these evil “devices“ (Isaiah 32: 7) take their toll on the people of God. The Lord will destroy the plans of the wicked (Psalm 33: 10), but while those plans are active, they can cause much hurt.
Nevertheless, we must maintain trust in the Lord and commit our lives to Him if we are to be victorious. The unusual Hebrew word galal used here is more often translated as “roll on“ or “roll with“ something. It seems to imply a unity in the commitment, that the committed one is bound up in the actions or activities of the thing or person committed to we “roll on“ or “roll with“ the Lord in our “way.” Paul spends much of letter to the Philippians describing the link between the CreatorSavior and the mind, heart, and lifestyle of the Christian who has given his life over to God. “Being confident of
this very thing,” Paul says, “that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ“ (Phil. 1:6). We are to “work out (our) own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure“ (Phil. 2: 12 - 13). While admitting that he had not yet “attained,” Paul was so focused on the work of the Kingdom that he was “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus“ (Phil. 3: 13 - 14). God’s promises
Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight
There once was a kingdom that enjoyed a long time of peace and the king wanted to celebrate. The king summoned all his subjects and told each guest to bring a flask of wine, explaining that all the flasks would be poured into one large vase, from which the banquet’s beverages would be drawn. One of the subjects thought to himself that instead of bringing wine to the banquet he would bring
who had that thought. The king was disappointed that his subjects were not loyal enough to carry out one simple task and do their part. Because so many thought that no one would notice if they did not do their part, the celebration was ruined. What about you? Are you doing your part in the kingdom of God? We are members of the body of Christ and it is expected by God for us to do our share. No one else may notice if we don’t do our part but our King and Heavenly Father will. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Be loyal to others and do your part a flask of water instead. After all, he reasoned, there would be plenty of people to bring wine, no one would be the wiser and he would not be out any expense. The night of the banquet arrived and the guests were seated at a table that was loaded with many different and wonderful kinds of foods. The king welcomed all the guests and then called for the servers to fill the glasses. But instead of the dark red color of the wine, it was a pinkish substance that filled all the glasses. The one subject who brought water instead of wine was not the only one

Life-long animal lover creates Puppy Dog City You won’t find Puppy Dog City on any road map, but the place near White Oak has put this remote eastern Kentucky community on the map with lovers of Yorkies and Malteses from across America. The cute-as-a-button puppies have been sold here since 1991 by breeder Jill Carroll. By day, the 45-yer-old works in the loan processing department of a bank, but each evening she becomes “Momma” to dozens of puppies. After 18 years at nearby Sunrise Valley, Jill, along with husband Robert and their two young daughters, Deanna and Kayla, relocated their home and business to White Oak. “We couldn’t move into our new house right away because the kennel (which sits near the home) wasn’t finished,” Jill said. The fact she’s in the dog breeding business didn’t come as a surprise to her parents. As a youngster, she became known in her family as the person most likely to come home with a stray
animal. “Mom would say, Jill, when you get a house of your own, you can get all the critters you want, but just quit bringing them home now,” says Jill, laughing. One of her earliest finds was Sandy, a mutt she encountered on a walk to a nearby drug store. She tried to convince her parents they should let her keep the dog, claiming she was so smart he looked both ways before crossing the street. Soon after marrying at age 18, Jill recalls buying her first Yorkie for $175, a deal that was frowned upon by her new hubby. She said he felt much better about the purchase a short time later when the new addition to the family produced a litter of six that she sold for $200 each. The dogs now sell for about $500 each, with customers coming from throughout the area, plus such far away places as Kansas, Michigan, and Florida. “I feel honored when people are willing to travel

Jill Carroll, owner of Puppy Dog City holds one of her pups at her home based business. that far to pick up one of my dogs,” Jill said. She credits the success of her business to investments made in time and money of making sure her pups are bred properly. “It took me a long time to get the look I wanted,” she said, noting she has spent significant amounts of money on breeder dogs from South Dakota, Oklahoma
and other states. The pups are given tender loving care at the kennel, and Jill likes for the new owners to see the set up and learn the background of the pups before taking them home. She says she has avoided setting up a website because people would want to purchase the pups and have them shipped.
“They’re too little to ship,” says the protective mom. Even without an aggressive advertising campaign, about 30 pups per year are sold at Puppy Dog City, mainly through one satisfied customer telling another about the quality of the animals. “People think I make a lot of money doing this, but they don’t think about how
it takes working at it seven days a week, sometimes having to stay up all night.” “I come down here, to the kennel after we get done with supper around six, and often don’t get back up to the house until around 9 or 10 o’clock,” she says, noting that leaves little time for a normal evening activities like TV watching.” “My fellow employees at the bank can’t believe I haven’t seen shows like American Idol and Two And A Half Men.” There are also days of extreme hardship and sorrow. During a single day not so long ago, a TV fell off a shelf in the kennel, killing two puppies, another pup was ran over by a car, and a third had to be rushed to the vet after choking on his own tooth. To this life-long animal lover, it’s all worth the effort, because “these are my babies.” Columnist Don White has served as editor at several newspapers in Kentucky.

Celebrating with Fiesta Tacos By Angela Shelf Medearis I love discovering healthy ingredients and adding them to my favorite recipes. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with quinoa. Quinoa resembles a grain but is actually a complete protein. It contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a perfect protein source for vegans. Quinoa looks like small, grayish pearls, has a nutty flavor and a light, creamy texture. I love combining it with rice or couscous. Quinoa is often referred to as a “grain,” but it’s actually a relative of leafy green vegetables like spinach and Swiss chard. It has a long and ancient history, and is native to South America. Quinoa is called the “the gold of the Incas,” who recognized its protein-packed potential as a source of energy for their warriors. Lysine is an amino acid found in quinoa that helps promote tissue growth and repair, and might be one reason that warriors in battle valued eating quinoa. It’s also a good source of magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus. Eating quinoa has been found to be beneficial to those who suffer with migraine headaches. Magnesium helps to relax blood vessels, which prevents the pain, constriction and rebound dilation characteristic of migraines -- and also reduces the frequency of headache episodes. To prepare quinoa, place it in a fine mesh strainer, coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth. Soak it for several hours, changing the soaking water or running it under cold water to remove the saponins. Saponins are
a coating on quinoa that have a laxative effect. Some brands of quinoa come prerinsed for convenience. Cooking quinoa is similar to preparing rice. Use two cups of liquid (water or broth) to one cup of quinoa, bring it to a boil, then cover and simmer for 14 to 18 minutes. The quinoa germ will curl and separate from the seed when it is fully cooked. Cooked quinoa can be served for breakfast mixed with berries, yogurt, honey or almonds. It also can be purchased as a dry, flaked product that can be eaten like a breakfast cereal. This recipe for Fiesta Tacos is perfect for breakfast, or can be served as lunch, or for dinner with a salad or steamed green vegetables. The quinoa and the brown rice can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Try these delicious tacos as a “meal-on-the-go” for busy days. FIESTA TACOS 1 cup cooked quinoa 1 cup cooked brown rice 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken, beef or vegetable broth 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 (16 ounce) jar of mild, chunky salsa 1/2 cup shredded low-fat Cheddar cheese 1/2 cup frozen corn or no-salt added canned corn, optional
1/4 cup sliced green or black olives, optional 10 whole-wheat tortillas 1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent. Add garlic to onion and cook until garlic is turning golden. Add the quinoa, brown rice, black beans and water or broth. Season mixture with the salt, pepper, chili powder and the cumin. Add salsa. Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to boil. Add the corn, if desired. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. 2. Wrap tortillas in foodsafe paper towels. Sprinkle paper towels with water on both sides. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm and pliable. 3. Place 2 to 3 heaping tablespoons of filling in the center of each tortilla. Add optional filling ingredients, if desired. Fold the tortilla in half and serve immediately. You can also prepare the tortillas in advance, wrap them in individual pieces of microwave-safe plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze them for re-heating in the microwave. Makes 10 tacos, 2 tacos per serving. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of six cookbooks.

Just after Valentine’s Day Tara Denner, age six, cut 10 and half inches off her hair to donate to Locks of Love. Ever since last year after watching a television program on kids with cancer, she began growing her hair for the cause. Her parents supported her over this past year through all the tangles and knots until she finally reached the magic 10-12 inch mark. She was so excited with her hair donation that she even included a favorite hair bow so some other little girl can enjoy wearing pretty bows as she did. When she was asked if she liked her new haircut she said “yes” but that she wants to grow it again for Locks of Love. We are proud of her and hope that her story inspires others to do the same or to find their own way to make a difference in another’s life. Submitted by Ann Denner.

Three separate companies create 145 jobs in metro area Cabinet for Economic Development On Wednesday Gov. Steve Beshear and Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson joined company officials from TRAX Mechanical Systems, Liberty Processing and Services Innovation and Bio Pharma Logistics, all startup companies, to announce they will begin operations in Louisville. The new projects will result in a combined 145 new jobs and nearly $13.5 million in the Commonwealth. “The fact that these three diverse companies chose Louisville as the home of their new startup operations is a testament to the talented workforce and pro-business climate available in Kentucky,” said Gov. Beshear. “Together Trax Mechanical, Bio Pharma Logistics and Liberty Processing will create 145 new full-time jobs for Kentuckians and invest nearly $13.5 million. I am delighted to welcome each of them as Kentucky’s newest corporate citizens.” Trax Mechanical Systems LLC will open its first North American manufacturing
operation, a new $6.6 million facility, with more than 93,000 square feet of manufacturing space, on National Turnpike in Louisville. The plant will operate as the company’s primary production site, providing assembly, fabrication, remanufacturing and warehousing of commercial vehicle undercarriage components like axles and suspensions and complete axle systems for its North American customer base. Trax is partnered with global manufacturing sources and will be performing final fabrication and assembly of product for its aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer channels for the commercial truck and trailer market. Trax’s new facility is expected to employ more than 100 during the coming months, with its first products being shipped to customers within two months. “The fact that both our corporate headquarters, as well as our first manufacturing facility, is purposefully located in Louisville, is indicative of the business-focused cooperation put forth by the state and by the city,” said Sergio
Carvalho, president and CEO of Trax Mechanical Systems. “Our new facility will have a national and global reach and will provide solid career positions for our team of talented employees.” Bio Pharma Logistics, established in 2007, operates as a third-party logistics provider dedicated to the pharmaceutical and bio-pharma industry. The company will locate in a 50,000 square-foot building on approximately 11 acres in Riverport where it will operate a cold-storage facility to provide warehousing, storage and distribution of pharmaceuticals and frozen human blood plasma. Bio Pharma anticipates creating 25 new jobs and will invest nearly $5.9 million. “Location is an important factor for our distribution and transportation operations. Our distribution hub must be as centrally located as possible to be efficient in serving both our domestic and international markets. We considered a number of locations in several states,” said Steve Snyder, president of Bio Pharma Logistics. “From our first contact
with Louisville and Kentucky representatives, it was apparent that they were highly interested in the possibilities that our company brought to the community. The efforts of Louisville Metro and Greater Louisville Inc. personnel on our behalf, together with the incentives granted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Kentucky Business Investment Program, convinced us that choosing Louisville, Kentucky, for our home was a win-win situation for the local community and Bio Pharma Logistics.” Liberty Processing and Services Innovation, established in August 2009, will open an 11,000 square-foot check processing facility in southeast Louisville, close to General Electric’s Appliance Park. Operations at the facility will include printing, sorting, packaging and logistics. The company will provide low-cost solutions for paperbased check processing by converting imaged transactions into image replacement documents for paper clearing. Liberty will create 10 new jobs and invest $988,000.
“Two of the key success factors to the Liberty Processing solution are access to a knowledgeable talent pool and a logistics capability that can reach anywhere in the United States,” said Earl Jennings, CEO of Liberty Processing. “Louisville was the perfect solution for us due to access to personnel with a background in check clearing and also the ability to leverage the logistics capability of UPS. Our growth plans should enable us to greatly exceed our initial requirement for 10 employees and to be a solid contributor to the financial health of Louisville.” The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved all three companies for tax benefits under Kentucky’s newest incentive program, the Kentucky Business Investment Program for the
following amounts: up to $2 million for TRAX Mechanical System; up to $350,000 for Bio Pharma Logistics; and up to $150,000 for Liberty Processing and Services Innovation. The incentives can be earned over a 10-year period through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments. “These new jobs come at a time when the city needs them most,” said Mayor Abramson. “We are climbing out of the recession, company by company, job by job.” “The announcement by these three companies to open their businesses in Louisville is positive news for our community,” said Joe Reagan, president & CEO of Greater Louisville Inc. - the Metro Chamber of Commerce. “Despite the sluggish economy, this type of growth reinforces us as a great place for new businesses.”
Prepaid plans can limit cell phone costs By David Uffington Dollars and sense
Not everyone wants a cell phone that takes and sends pictures, sends text messages, connects to the Internet to receive and send e-mail, and has custom graphics, a finger touch-screen, music player, video capture and voice memo. Sometimes people just want a phone that takes and makes calls -- and cheaply. When you’re hunting for a cell-phone plan, maybe the best one is no plan at all. Consider whether a prepaid phone service is right for you. Typically, this means you’d
buy an inexpensive, no-frills phone (although with many of them you can receive text messages). With a prepaid plan, you pay for the phone up front. There’s no credit check, no contract to sign, no monthly charges. You pay in advance for your minutes. The more minutes you buy, the longer you have to use them because the minutes generally don’t roll over. Even with prepaid phone service, beware the cost of daily use. There’s a tradeoff between the number of days you’ll use your phone and the cost of each minute. For example, with one large
carrier, your access cost on the days you use the phone is $3.99 but your minutes are free, with text messages only costing 1 cent. On the other end of that spectrum, there are no-frills basic services that cost you nothing to make calls on a daily basis, but each minute of calling costs 25 cents with 20 cents for each text message. For low-minute users, there are a few big-name carriers that offer 1,000 minutes for $100, and the minutes don’t expire for a year. Sign up for more minutes before expiration, and those old minutes will roll over.

It’s tough to be successful in this business when you can’t give it all your attention, being involved in the community, noting that, among other things, the company conducts 12 to 15 auctions each year at no charge for nonprofit organizations.” And, Barr says he and his colleagues take pride in the fact that “every auction, regardless of its size, receives the same professional attention.” Barr Realty & Auction

Lead out loud with FFA students By Casey Tolliver The News Standard For Meade County High School agriculture teacher and Future Farmers of American faculty advisor Jeremy Hall, the FFA is more than just sows, cows and plows. And this year’s National FFA week will give the MCHS FFA a chance to celebrate and show what they are about. The theme for this year’s National FFA week is “Lead out Loud,” and chapters are encouraged to show what makes them great. It won’t be hard to see what makes the MCHS chapter great. According to Hall, the MCHS chapter of the FFA is one of the best in the nation. “Our chapter is one of the top 2 perccent in the nation,” Hall said. “And our kids really like to celebrate the organization. Not themselves…but the organization.” Hall compared the accomplishments of the MCHS chapter of the FFA to that of a college basketball dynasty.

Increase net profit with great forage Commodities Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources The beef producer’s number one goal each year with his/her operations is to increase net profit. One way that is achieved is to produce as much pounds of beef per acre of land as possible. The main way to accomplish this is to have good lush established stands of desirable forages. A few articles ago, I wrote about the benefits of renovating grass pastures with legumes which, when done properly, will improve pasture quality and extend the summer grazing season. Legumes, mainly clovers or alfalfa, increase the nutritional value of a pasture. Also, Legumes grass mix fields will yield as high or higher without Nitrogen fertilizer than pure grass fields heavily fertilized with nitrogen. With the price of Nitrogen fertilizer and with an 80 lb. of nitrogen per acre recommendations for a straight grass pasture or hayfield,
the cost for just the Nitrogen will be about $40 per acre. Did you know that an acceptable, consistent stand of a legume can eliminate the need for Nitrogen fertilizer. Clover, seeded at the proper rate into a pasture or hay field, will cost $8 - $30 per acre depending on the type and variety used. Therefore, it makes good sense to renovate forage fields with legumes. If stands are adequate, the first management practice that will increase the forage yield is proper fertilizing. Proper fertilization refers to the amount and kind of fertilizer applied and when it is applied. Hopefully, within the last few years a soil test has been done on all pastures and hay fields to be fertilized. A three
dollar soil test is a very inexpensive way of assuring the right kind and amount of fertilizer that should be spread. Therefore, fertilizing according to soil test recommendations is the best way of applying the right amounts and kind of plant food. The timing of application is where most beef producers lose money. The University of Kentucky fertilizing recommendations for optimum fertilizer use for cool season grasses is to apply nitrogen between February 15 and March 15. Cool season grasses – fescue, orchardgrass, bluegrass and timothy – start growing when temperatures are consistently around 40ºF. Growth is greatly accelerated at temperatures of 60ºF.
Two thirds of a cool season grass’s yield is achieved in the spring of the year. Therefore, fertilizer applied early in the growing season can stimulate enough growth to graze two weeks earlier and/or increase yields to the hay field. With the price of nitrogen, it makes good sense to make good use of the fertilizer you spread. Start applying fertilizer to those cool season grass pastures and hay fields very soon.

The Meade County wrestling team brought a school record 13 athletes to the state tournament on Saturday in Frankfort.

It’s tough but everything happens for a reason.” Crow opened the tournament with a 26 second pin against Central’s Brandehn Todd, but in the second round Crow stumbled.

Chase Garris keeps the ball away from a Hancock defender on Tuesday night’s game.
The Meade County Greenwave’s 11th District tournament dominance ended Tuesday night when they lost to the Hancock County Hornets, 72-59, in the opening round of the tournament. “We’re still expecting to be good in the future,” said guard Chase Garris, who is one of six sophomores on the team. “Hopefully we’ll stay that way. This makes us hungry. Hopefully next year we’ll come back and start another trend.” The loss ended Meade County’s season prematurely for the first time since moving to the 11th District where the team was 8-0 with four district titles in four years.

key is not to let yourself get too detached emotionally because we’re on a pretty good roll right now. We’re playing some good basketball. We’re used to scoring a lot of points so we didn’t want this game to slow down our momentum.” The Lady Waves played at third-seeded Breckinridge County yesterday for the district championship. Breckinridge County beat second-seeded Hancock County in the first round, 64-49. Results of the championship game will be in next week’s issue of The News Standard.
Lady Waves finish off regular season The Lady Waves capped off the regular season with a four game win streak, when they beat Oldham County 83-69 on Saturday. “We finished (the season) strong,” said Meade County head coach Josh Hurt, whose team went 15-11 during the regular season. “We had a little bump after our seven game win streak. Now we finished out the season with two big wins over quality teams like Central (Hardin) and Oldham (County). During the senior night game against Oldham County, senior forward Bliss Powers had a seasonhigh double-double with 27 points and 13 rebounds. “I was focused tonight,” Powers said. “I really want-

what I wanted to do. I was shooting and it was a good match, but he came out on top.” House knocked Crow out of the championship bracket and out of contention for the state championship. “I think I was looking ahead,” Crow said. “I was more worried about the (championship day) at the tournament. I was looking forward to other matches and it just got to me.“ In the consolation bracket Crow pinned Chris Fitzpatrick from Anderson County in the first period, but faced another tough opponent from Simon Kenton, Alex Van Winkle. During Crow’s second loss and final match, Van Winkle scored a go-ahead takedown point with 15 seconds left in the match to win 7-6. The loss eliminated Crow from the tournament. “I was trying to get up and he just held me down,” Crow said of the final seconds of the match. “I couldn’t get free from him. You can’t always get what you want. A lot of people come in and do well their junior year and then come in and don’t make nothing their senior year. That’s just how things go.” Crow has been one of the best wrestlers to come through the Meade County program. For head coach Bob Davis it was an emotional loss in many ways. “He’s going to be hard replace,” Davis said of Crow. “You just can’t replace a point-getter like
Night From page B1 team had only two seniors this year, Will Campbell and Satram. “These are two good kids,” said Greenwave coach Jerry Garris. “I don’t think we’ve had two finer kids that have came through this program. They have worked their tails off for four years. I can’t even remember off the top of my head if they’d missed a practice.” The girls basketball team had a large senior class of six players. When Lady Waves head coach came into the program six years ago the class was just entering the program as sev-
ed to come out and play well. The main thing is I finished all my shots. Some other games I don’t finish as well as I should have.” The 83-point performance by the Lady Waves is the fifth time this season where they have breeched the 80-point mark. Feb. 13’s game against Muhlenberg County they put up a season-high 86 points. Senior forward Carly Evans had 16 points, eight assists and five rebounds, while sophomore forward Scarlett Powers had 17 points and five rebounds. Senior point guard Caroline Wilson chipped in with 11 points and seven assists.

that. I wish him the best at whatever endeavor he goes after. I have mixed emotions about it right now.” Senior 171-pound Nelson Mason Jr., who went 3-2 during the tournament, was Meade County’s most successful wrestler. Mason was pushed to the consolation bracket when he lost in the second round to Jeremy Gardner from Franklin County. “At first, even as a senior, it’s nerve-wracking out there,” Mason said. “In my first match I was jittery. I went out there and won. Once you get that first win and know the atmosphere you calm down. But it’s just a great feeling to be out there. It’s indescribable.” Mason won his next two matches to put him in the round of the top 12 wrestlers in the state. Then he faced South Oldham’s Spencer Warren and lost, 6-0. “I’m disappointed, but I’m happy too,” Mason said. “I put everything I had out on the mat. There’s nothing I could have done to beat the kid. He was just a better wrestler. His coach has watched me and scouted me. He knew what I wanted to do. He stopped everything.” Senior 285-pound wrestler Chaz Nevitt had a good state run by going 2-2, but he felt his poor region showing hurt his ranking. “Region screwed me up with seeding,” Nevitt said. “If I would have gotten first (in the region) I would have done a lot better.” Nevitt faced a familiar foe from North Hardin, Justin Bowder, and won a 4-3 decision. He beat Bowder in the last 10 seconds of the match when he
scored the winning takedown point. Nevitt then lost to a top five wrestler from South Oldham, Adam Brown, in double overtime and a round later lost to Trey Gentry from Woodford County. “I had a good season,” Nevitt said. “I had fun with it. I don’t have any regrets. But it’s sad to see my friends not place or anything.” Senior James Childress also went 2-2 in the tournament and fell short of his preseason goal of making it to the top eight in state. He was knocked out of the tournament by a controversial pin. “I got caught in a bad call,” Childress said. “The ref called a pin, but it really wasn’t a pin. But you can’t argue with it. That’s the luck of the draw. This is the best kids in the state. There’s not a bad wrestler here. You just have to respect the fact that a loss is a loss and a win is a win.” Sophomore 135-pound Garrett Kenealy went 2-2 along with senior 145-pound Joey Carter, sophomore 160-pound Cody Hoskins and junior 189-pound Brandon Simota. “(Kenealy) has some work to do the next few years,” Davis said. “He has a chance to get to the podium. We’ve seen big improvement throughout the year from Cody Hoskins. He finished strong this year. That’s what we need. You want them to finish strong at the end of the year so they can come in the next year and keep going strong. I can’t say enough about Brandon Simota. That kid has made
so much improvement. He has the chance of getting top eight, too.” Seventh-grader Chris Abernathy wrestled in his first state tournament and went 1-2. “He got a lot of experience out of this,” Davis said. “He’s looking really good. He learned something new every time he walked out on the mat. The good thing is he listens.” Freshman 112-pound Lance Kelly went 0-2, senior 119-pound Dylan Pike went 1-2 and senior 152-pound Mike Brown went 0-2 during the tournament to round out all the Meade County wrestlers. Overall, the 2009-10 wrestling season felt incomplete. With 13 wrestlers in the state tournament, Meade County racked up a school record 56 points good for its second straight 19th place finish, but failed to have an individual reach the top eight podium. “We feel like we worked our butts off and it didn’t work out the way we wanted to,” Nevitt said. “We’re all out here having fun though. I guess that’s the main thing. Nobody is mad and we’re have a good time.” As for the continuous growth by the program, Davis looks forward to next year. “We’re going to bring back some people and we have some new kids coming up that will surprise some people I’m excited about next year,” he said. “It’s just time to reload. We have some dandies coming up from our elementary program. I’m really excited about them.”
enth graders. “They have been with me the whole ride,” Hurt said. “Of course you love every senior class, but I have a special place in my heart for this group. I love every one of them. I’m really proud with what they’ve done.” Senior forward Bliss Powers echoed the dichotomy of emotions of senior night. “It’s bittersweet,” she said. “It’s a fun night and everyone comes out to see is. We played pretty well and got a win. But it’s still really sad because this may be our last game at Meade County.” As both Meade County teams claimed victories, the Lady Waves cheerleaders also said goodbye to their lone senior, Brittany Hooper. “Its very overwhelm-
ing,” Hooper said of the senior night festivities. “I didn’t think it would come. I’m trying to hold back tears when I think about cheerleading. This has become part of my life. Even after I graduate I’m going to come back and cheer on the team and the girls. Really you’re never going to quit being a cheerleader.” The Meade County dance team also performed for the last time at a Greenwave basketball game. “Its very overwhelming because this is the last time we’re going to dance on the Meade County gym floor,” said senior dancer Tirzah Anderson. “It’s really intense because everyone is watching us and it’s upsetting because we know it’s our last time out there.”
Anderson is the only senior — out of four seniors — who competed on the dance team for all four years. “It’s been a very awesome experience,” she said. “I don’t think I would have liked high school so much if I wasn’t on the dance team. All the girls are great, the coaches are great and it’s just a lot of fun.” Although senior night celebrated Meade County’s final regular season home game every squad is preparing for the state tournament. With both basketball teams in contention for a regional tournament bid the cheerleaders will cheer from the sidelines, while the dance team performs at the state competition tomorrow at Pulaski County.

Stinging From page B1 “We didn’t play defensively the whole game,” said senior guard Isaiah Satram. “The coaches told us to get a hand in their face and we just didn’t execute.” The start of the second half Hancock jumped out to its biggest lead 45-29 with a little more than 4 minutes into the second half. The Greenwave continued to struggle offensively until sophomore guard Bo Wilson and freshman guard Bryce Garris hit back-to-back 3-pointers to make the score 45-32 with 2:50 left in the third quarter. “We didn’t play with a sense of urgency in the first half like we did in the second half,” Jerry Garris said. “I like the way we played in the second half and I think if we would have played like that all night things may have been different.” Meade County cut the lead to eight points with 2 minutes left in the game. Then the Greenwave created a turnover during an inbound play and had an open 3-point look but missed long. “If that would have gone in that would have been great,” Jerry Garris said. “But it’s hard to make those shots that late in the game when you’re tired. But that stretch took a lot out of of us.” The Greenwave tried to catch-up during the remaining 2 minutes of the game by forcing Hancock County to the free throw line. Though they could never cut the lead under double digits again. “All season long we’ve never been a good come from behind team,” Jerry Garris said. “We let them get up early. In all honesty, it was over pretty early.” Satram ended the night with a career-high 18 points and nine rebounds. “It’s hard to stay positive when you’re down like that,” Satram said about playing his last game as a Greenwave. “We tried

to get back into the game. But I made some bad turnovers but I took it to the hole and tried to get some points for us.” Chase Garris had 12 points including three 3-pointers and four assists. Bo Wilson had 11 points and sophomore forward Thomas Wilson had nine points and seven rebounds. The team returns all but two players next year and still has a bright outlook, however Jerry Garris feels the team has a lot to improve on its 7-19 overall record. “We have a lot of work to do,” he said. I don’t know how this group will work in the off-season. We don’t shoot it as well and we don’t pass very well. I don’t think they are going to grow much more so we’re going to have to get skilled at some of the things we’re not doing right now. But I expect a lot out of this team.” Meade County gets a win on senior night With wins at a premium this year for the Meade County Greenwave basketball team, they couldn’t have asked for a timelier win on Saturday when they beat the North Bullitt Eagles, 46-45. “It feels good,” said senior guard Isaiah Satram. “Coming out with a onepoint win on senior night, that’s all you can ask for. It just feels good. When you only have seven wins any win feels good. It doesn’t come very often.” The win summed up the Greenwave’s February regular season games with a .500 record (3-3). The team finished with a 7-18 overall record. “We’ll take all we can get,” Meade County head coach Jerry Garris said whose team headed into the district playoffs this week. “We needed a win and it’s good timing.” After falling behind 6-0 to North Bullitt in the opening minutes of the contest, Meade County took its first lead of the game, 12-11, when Chase Garris made a lay-up with a minutes left in the first quarter.
Then Meade County held the Eagles to five points in the second quarter to take the lead at the half, 21-19. At the end of the third quarter sophomore Bo Wilson hit a 3-pointer as time ran out to extend the Greenwave’s biggest lead of the night 34-29. The Eagles’ Travis Ridley had a game-high 21 points including five 3-pointers to help regain the lead for North Bullitt, 40-29, with less than 4 minutes left in the game. “He’s put up points for them all this year,” Garris said of Ridley. “It wasn’t a fluke. We just didn’t do a good job on shutting him down. Maybe we stayed in the zone a little too long and he got some shots off.” But Wilson came up big for the Greenwave as he hit a 3-pointer with 2:40 left in the game and then a minute later nailed a an 8-foot baseline jumper to extend the lead 46-43. “I think Bo’s best shot is that little jumper,” Garris said of Wilson, who had a team-high 13 points. “When he can penetrate and pull up like that he can

get us some big points.” North Bullitt made it a one-point game, 46-45, with 1:25 left on the clock but was unable to score on their last possession of the game. “It’s good to get a onepoint win under out belts,” Satram said, who had four points. “It’s good to see that some of the luck went our way tonight.” Sophomore Chase Garris had 10 points for the Greenwave and five assists. Sophomore Thomas Wilson had eight rebounds and six points. Greenwave turn game over to Central Hardin Despite a 20 point fourth quarter the Meade County Greenwave came up short to lose to the Central Hardin Bruins, 63-53 last Friday. Central Hardin outrebounded the Greenwave 35-27 and the Bruins scored 22 points off of turnovers. Three Meade County players, Chase Garris, Thomas Wilson and Isaiah Satram, all had 12 points. Thomas Wilson had 12 rebounds and six points during the contest.

Spring is a great time to catch bass Fishing with Scott Patton ESPN Bass Master Spring is just around the corner now and it’s always been a great time of year to catch some nice bass. It’s the time of year when bass will start migrating from their winter areas to the spawning grounds. I will always look for bass in the major creeks at this time of season. To locate the Bass it will depend on what type of cover the lake you decide to fish has to offer. But some of the best locations will always be near a channel edge of some type. Fish will start moving toward a shallow water area, and that is because they instinctively know that it won’t be long till its spawning season. So look for deeper wa-
ter close to a good spawning flat with a hard bottom and some cover. Some of the lures that I will use will be small crank baits usually with light line 10-pound test, So that I can fish them easily and get a little extra depth out of them. These small baits don’t have a large bill on them so they won’t dive deep, plus there light and hard to cast. I will add lead tape to the lures to get some extra weight to them, but always making sure they don’t sink. I want the bait to suspend or slowly float back towards the surface. Also using a spinning rod will help. Another lure that is a must is a Jerk Bait. I will fish it on 10 to 14-pound test line and you can use a spinning rod or
bait casting on this as well. I like the jerk bait when the water temperature is below 55 degrees. One last thing you don’t want to forget is the jig. It’s awesome bait for catching some big fish. I will fish it on the bluff walls or around any shallow water stumps that I can find, but keeping in mind I want to close to deeper water. I will use my flipping stick and 20- to 30-pound test Bass Pro Shop line with a 1/4 to a 3/4 ounce jig depending on the depth. Awareness is the doorway to fishing success!

But don't forget that Bovines thrive on the arts, so make some time for yourself to indulge your passion for music and artistic expressions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) While the Romantic Twin considers where to go for his or her upcoming vacation, the Practical Twin will start making travel plans now to take advantage of some great bargains. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your sensitive nature helps you deal with a difficult emotional situation. Be patient and continue to show your sincere support wherever (and for whomever) it is needed. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You're making progress as you move through some unfamiliar territory. And while there might be a misstep or two along the way, overall you're heading in the right direction. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Some good news arrives -- and just in time to remind you that you're making progress. Perhaps things aren't moving as quickly as you'd prefer, but they're moving nevertheless.

But before you dismiss it as unworkable, it's worth checking out just in case it does have some merit after all.

Scouts across America celebrate centennial milestone Submitted article
LOUISVILLE, KY — When the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was officially incorporated on February 8, 1910, Americans were driving Stanley steam automobiles, earning an average of $750 a year, and paying little more than 30 cents for a gallon of milk. The national debt was a mere billion dollars. While all of these things seem out of place today, the BSA remains a vital organization with a mission and purpose that is more relevant today than ever before. Throughout 2010, the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate its centennial anniversary milestone with a rallying call that will be heard across the nation as scouts gather in their communities to pay tribute to the rich history and tradition of Scouting. Having served more than 100 million members since its founding, the BSA has made a lasting and positive imprint on the fabric of the nation. Its mission—“to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law”— enables Scouting to address many issues that are important to young people and families, including health, civility, education, leader-
ship, diversity, and service to others. “This country needs strong leaders and healthy young people more than ever before, and that is what Scouting is all about,” said Bob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive of the BSA. “This is our time in history to remind the nation that Scouting is more vibrant, more vital, and more relevant than ever before. Every day, millions of Scouts and adult leaders make a huge difference in our society. We look forward to continuing that commitment in the next century.” Though firmly rooted in an unchanged set of core values, the BSA is committed to remaining current and relevant by adapting how it delivers programs and reaches its audiences, including going green. In addition to publishing the first “green” Boy Scout Handbook in 2009, BSA magazines Boys’ Life and Scouting have been certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. Multicultural outreach: In 2008, the BSA launched a national Hispanic Initiatives program that aims to increase the number of Hispanic scouts, adult volunteers, and professional staff members. In its first year, the program brought an increase of more than 30,000 Hispanic scouts. Additionally, the BSA

has publications in 21 languages. Adopting social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter as core communications tools to reach volunteers and connect with Scouts. Updating the Scouting uniforms to include a cellphone pocket, offer SPF 50+ sun protection, and Superior moisture control that keeps you cooler in warm weather and warmer in cold weather. The BSA’s centennial celebration goes far beyond a day on the calendar. Mazzuca pointed to a number of national events that have already helped kick off Scouting’s 100th Anniversary year. On January 1, the BSA placed an award-winning float in the Tournament of Roses Parade, and launched Adventure Base 100, a mobile, immersive scouting campus. Adventure Base 100 is currently embarking on a more than 40-city nationwide tour, and features a traveling Scout museum, an IMAX-like video in its Go Scouting! Dome, a highadventure ropes course, and a variety of interactive displays and activities. At any time, from anywhere in the country, the public can experience Adventure Base 100 virtually, and find out where it’s going next, at www.adventurebase100.org. The
traveling scout museum will be in Louisville, Kentucky April 23 – 25, 2010. In all, eight major national 100th Anniversary engagement programs have been designed to reintroduce scouting to the next generation of young leaders and reconnect millions of alumni with the organization. BSA councils across the country, including those serving Kentucky and Indiana, are actively engaged in local 100th Anniversary Celebration programs. “The Lincoln Heritage Council 100th Anniversary committee has organized seven exciting events to commemorate 100 years of scouting in our 25 county area. All seven events will be open to all Scouts, adult leaders and volunteers” said Barry Oxley, Scout Executive and CEO. “Scout Anniversary Week will kick off the Council 100th Anniversary events and the Camporee will bring our celebration to an end.” On Sunday, March 7, 2010, nearly 250 Eagle Scouts, Sea Scouts, Venturing Silver and Heroism Award Recipients will be honored at the Kentucky Center in Louisville, Kentucky. And since 2010 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, all scouts who have earned the distinction of Eagle Scout
