A military honor guard removes the coffin of U.S. Army Corporal Harry J. Reeve from the hearse in preparation for his memorial ceremonies.
U.S. Army Corporal Harry J. Reeve returned to his homeland Wednesday bathed in sunshine and honors. But, the homecoming was bittersweet. It was only his fragmented remains returning — his living self having been long lost in a prisoner of war camp 60 years ago. The corporal’s history, as reported by the Defense Prisoner of War and Missing Personal Office (DPMO), says Reeve was assigned to the 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division in ear-
ly November 1950. This force occupied a defensive position near the town of Unsan in the bend of the Kuryong River known as the “Camel’s Head.” Two enemy elements attacked the U.S. forces, collapsing their perimeter and forcing a withdrawal. Reeve’s unit was involved in heavy fighting that developed into hand-to-hand combat around their command post. Approximately 400 men of the regiment were reported missing or killed in action from that battle. Later that month, a U.S. solder captured during the battle reported during a de-

By Casey Tolliver The News Standard Many students look forward to the new school year. New teachers and fresh opportunities foster excitement in the hearts and minds of students county wide. But, a new facility is creating an ecofriendly buzz for students in Flaherty. The school is fronting the trend of school building design in the state with its green features. “There’s been a move in the state of Kentucky to make a marked improvement and continue to improve schools,” Meade County Schools Director of Building and Grounds Rodney Pickering said. “According to the architects, this should be one of the best energy conserving school buildings in the state.” The school will harness the power of a geo-thermal HVAC system, which utilizes a system of energy saving, twostage geo-pumps. The pumps will pull water through pipes in the building, effectively and efficiently cooling and heating the structure. A low-pitched roof adorns the building, which is a space saving measure to house the HVAC unit and makes it easier to access for repairs. Insulated concrete formed outer walls form the exterior of the building, which will harness cool inside temperatures

New county library is one step closer to reality By Brian Graves The News Standard The new Meade County Public Library is one step closer to reality and ground breaking could occur as early as this month. The Library Board met last Thursday to open bids for construction with a final decision scheduled after board members can hear bids for furniture and do a further analysis of all bids entered. Kenny Stanfield of the Sherman, Carter and Barnhart Architectural firm opened each of the 14 bids as contractors sat patiently with cell phones and note

briefing that he and nine other soldiers were moved to a house near the battlefield. He also provided detailed information on the location of the incident and the identities of the other soldiers. The POWs were taken to an adjacent field and shot. Three of the 10 Americans survived, though one died the following morning from his wounds. After the armistice in 1953 and the release of POWs, the other surviving soldier confirmed those details. Analysts with the DPMO followed case leads for more than half a century.
pads waiting to hear who would be low bidder. After nearly an hour, Stanfield announced Morel Construction Company had entered the low base bid of $3,486,000. That base bid did not include any of the nine alternative additions which were submitted as amendments to the base bid. Each company was required to submit additional bids for a metal roof, a digital message sign, concrete paving, landscaping, and paving of a walking path. Two more of the alternatives were on pergolas, which are garden features
forming a shaded walkway or a passageway of pillars that support cross beams and an open lattice with a type of vine hanging from it. A final alternative involves a unique system of windows designed to filter both light and reduce energy costs. The windows are formed as sandwich panels and filled with a new type of insulation that has become commonly used in public facilities such as libraries. Stanfield, who also most recently worked on the Flaherty Elementary project, said Morrel’s bids on all the
alternates were the lowest and within budget. “We are well pleased with the numbers we are seeing,” said Library Board President Sandra Stone. “It is exciting to think we are closer to this wonderful new facility.” MCPL Director Rachel Baelz says all the board is cautiously optimistic. “We believe we have everything we need to make this project happen,” Baelz said. “It’s just a matter of sorting out the details. I’m not sure all the alternates will be approved, but I’m very optimistic we will be seeing something very soon.”
Kentucky is in the running for a share of billions of dollars in federal grants in the “Race to the Top” program. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced the state is one of 19 making up the list of finalists who will be invited to make personal presentations to federal officials

NEWS Fort Knox cadet dies after being struck by lightning
Friday, August 6, 2010
A2 - The News Standard
Staff Report The News Standard A Fort Knox cadet struck by lightning while training has died, according to a Fort Knox press release. Carmella Kirkland, 18, was pronounced dead at 4:50 p.m. last Friday at the University of Louisville Hospital. The Dothan, Ala. native, who would have been a freshman this fall at Mar-
ion Military Institute, had her parents at her side at the time of her death. She was serving with Company A 2/321st IET when the event occurred. Kirkland was participating in training as part of the U.S. Army Cadet Command Leader ’s Training Course June 27. The company had been alerted earlier in the afternoon to a potential storm threat and were moving to
safety when a storm cell popped up at their location on the northern end of Fort Knox. The storm produced lightning that struck Kirkland and indirectly hit a second cadet who was taken to the hospital for observation, but released after a period of observation. Military officials are now conducting a safety investigation to review Kirkland’s death.

The flag that draped Corporal Reeve’s coffin is presented to his cousin, James Hughes.
Honor From page A1 It was in May 2004, a joint U.S.-North Korean team excavated a mass grave near the “Camel’s Head.” It was from the recovery efforts there and modern DNA testing the remains of Corporal Reeve were identified. “I never believed it would happen,” Reeve’s cousin James Hughes told the more than 100 gathered Wednesday at Kentucky Veterans Cemetery Central in Radcliff. Reeve’s remains were brought to the cemetery in a gleaming white hearse, escorted by dozens of veterans showing their honored colors on their motorcycles. As the hearse reached the top of the hill, an honor guard prepared themselves to bring the corporal’s coffin
to its resting place. An honor guard from the Kentucky State Police also paid homage to the fallen soldier. The coffin, draped with the American Flag, was carried to a catafalque in the cemetery’s community shelter, accompanied by the ruffles of the many flags in the breeze and a lone bagpiper’s “Amazing Grace.” Once inside, an Army chaplain read scripture and offered prayers, then recognized Reeve’s cousins, James and Harry Hughes, who sat in the front row holding back their emotions. The honor guard, which bore him to this spot of honor, returned and folded the flag to present to James. Another flag was then briefly placed upon the coffin, then folded, and given to his cousin, Harry. The most moving part of the ceremony may not have
been the honors paid by those veterans, friends and family of the country he served. It came from the country whose democracy and freedom he went to help defend. A military attaché from the Embassy of the Republic of South Korea, identified as Colonel Kim, offered a tribute from his country. “Our country was once in ashes,” Kim said in somewhat broken English. “We are now one of the world’s economic powers. “It is because of the sacrifice of Corporal Reeve. His sacrifice will remain in the heart of Korea.” With that, the solemn notes of “Taps” sounded across the hill and the service concluded as it began. The lone bagpiper played “Amazing Grace” and, after 60 years, Harry J. Reeve was finally at rest.

Students unpack their new school supplies in Mrs. Haynes class at Flaherty Primary School.
School From page A1 during the summer and warmer air inside during the winter. Despite it’s environmentally friendly architecture, the fresh facility is also harnessing the effects of modern technology. Faculty members (teachers) will be using a V-brick system and smartboards implemented in the new school, which will be used along with standard teaching practices to educate the primary students. The system will allow teachers to present and record lessons that can be projected onto a screen nearly five feet by five feet
in size. The V-brick system allows the presentations to be stored in a database. “If someone did an outstanding math or science presentation, a teacher can store that presentation,” Pickering said. “They can go into the V-brick system, find that presentation and use it.” Construction of the school was necessary to lessen the load on Flaherty Elementary, which was already busting at the seams. Already swelling, the anticipated growth from the BRAC initiative upped the ante on the need for a new school. “Flaherty Elementary was full,” Pickering said. “We had outside portable
units, they were using every small office and were even using the stage in the cafeteria.” The elementary school housed students in preschool through sixth grade until it couldn’t support many more students. Students ranging from preschool to third grade who would have been attending the elementary school will attend Flaherty Primary. Amanda Richardson will be the inaugural principal of Flaherty Primary The structure, which encompasses 67,473 square feet, cost $15.5 million to build. Local bond sales, cash from the school board and $1.5 million in BRAC monies funded the project.

Back to school
Most guys fantasize about being a superhero — Superman, Batman, or someone like that. But, after these past few weeks, I suspend my manhood long enough to wish I could be someone else just for an hour. That someone is Mary Poppins. Now, while you chuckle quietly at the thought of a guy wishing to be such a character, let me explain. Nearly three weeks ago, I packed up most of my belongings in Tennessee and slung them onto the largest size moving truck available. Hours later, those belongings were slung (with some careful help of new friends) into my new Brandenburg residence. There are two types of exhaustion that come with
fun. Then, with a snap of her fingers, the clothes fold themselves and fly into the drawers. Wait a minute! That gives me an idea. I don’t have to be Mary Poppins. I can just take her advice. I’m not really hip on taking an actual spoonful of sugar. But, maybe a plate of chocolate chip cookies. A handful of Hershey’s kisses. A piece of chocolate pie. Yeah, that’s the answer. But, then, the more I think about the task at hand, it sort of gives me pause. I’ll get it done eventually. But, another week isn’t going to kill anybody. I have no dinner parties planned. I don’t know enough people to invite over. I think I’ll just take my time. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll have everything ready in time to invite everybody over for Christmas — 2011.
Bright idea leaves the public in dark Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon Sometimes well-intended legislation can have unintended consequences. Take Senate Bill 178, which passed during this year’s legislative session. It allows local school boards to conduct the most crucial portions of superintendent evaluations in closed sessions. Legislators who support the bill tell me it’s about striking a balance between the public’s right to know and honest discussions by school board members of a superintendent’s performance. Bill sponsor Sen. David Givens, R-Greensburg, asks: “Do we want to have an open public evaluation that is done in a dishonest way — where candid and frank discussions are not held, which is what currently is going on up until this legislation passed — or do we want to have preliminary discussions that can be candid and frank on both sides of that conversation?” Public access comes with

hold their superintendent evaluations in secret on July 15 — the day the law went into effect — we still don’t know the plans for improvement in these poorperforming districts. A majority of schools in both districts failed to meet their 2008-09 “No Child Left Behind Act” goals. Plus, a majority of their high school students performed below proficiency in math, science, social studies and writing during that school year. Perhaps we need legislation that requires each district to set annual, measurable goals indicating continuous improvement. We could then base superintendents’ evaluations — and future employment — on whether those metrics are met. The whole process would change from one that hides the performance of nervous school board members behind closed doors to a transparent, objective process that allows voters to determine if boards and superintendents are doing their most important job — ensuring our kids get the education they need. Jim Waters is vice president of policy and communications for the Bluegrass Institute.

push reform of the commonwealth’s education system, wanted this bill. It claims that boards need to speak as a group, rather than having all that uncomfortable input from individual members publicly discussed. But school board members are elected and must — arguably as their most important job — evaluate superintendents, school districts’ chief executive officers. If boards do a significant portion of their most important work in secret, how does that serve the public, whose taxes fund their districts, including some enormously high superintendents’ salaries? It doesn’t allow voters to determine whether board members represent their interests. And it denies challengers for board seats information needed to effectively confront incompetent incumbents. Perhaps legislators thought this policy would somehow improve the education system. But signs already show it does the opposite. For example, even though school boards in Jefferson and Christian counties jumped at the chance to

differences, said Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown. He voted for Givens’ bill — even though he has led the charge for more transparency in state government in recent years. “There’s a difference in putting the government’s checkbook online and dealing with certain personnel issues,” Thayer said. “This is a personnel matter that has plenty of transparency throughout the process.” However, by the time this process becomes transparent in an open session, it also becomes one of consensus, which effectively disguises any concerns individual board members raised in the closed session. Those issues remain unknown. “We’re not talking about an individual teacher here,” said Rep. Jim DeCesare, R-Bowling Green. “We’re talking about the head of the school district, and if an elected board member has an issue with a superintendent, the parents sending their children to a school in that district have a right to know what it is.” The Kentucky School Boards Association, which consistently underwhelms me by failing to fulfill its substantial potential to

The Meade County parade is a time for everyone to decorate floats by coming together and enjoying themselves, and participating in friendly competition. However, it has become less of a lighthearted competition and more of a battle of who’s who in Meade County. The judging of parade floats is not fair. The floats should be voted on by all parade participants, not a few biased individuals. As a parade participant, I saw many floats and believe, along with many others, that the float for Margaret Matney was creative, thoughtful, and obviously had a lot of effort put into it. However, they did not even place in the contest. The winning float, as you may know, was one that contained a handful of cheerleaders and an inflatable cactus. This is not only a very obvious political choice, but an insult to those groups that worked for weeks on their float. What is the motivation for Meade County citizens to not only work hard on their float, but even participate in community events if we all know which last names are going to win? The Meade County parade is about more than decorating a float and passing out candy. Children learn through everything they do, and participating in Meade County Fair activities is no exception. The type of message this is sending to the future community leaders of Meade County, our children, is that you can work hard but it only matters who you know. The Meade County Fair is a week everyone looks forward to. It is a week full of fun, spirited activities that involve citizens in their community by evoking pride in their hometown. Why stifle this by turning it into a battle about names and titles? Change the system in Meade County and you will create community pride, and more importantly, moral integrity in generations to come.

Students are lamenting the end of another summer vacation and have returned to the halls of education for another season of hitting the books. This can be an exciting time for some and pure dread for others. So, here are some back to school wishes for some very special groups of people. To our teachers, we offer our sincerest appreciation for the job you do. The teaching profession is one of the most noble in the workforce. You are expected to be everything from doctors to umpires and you do it with the dedication of the professionals you are. While your jobs are often thankless, the rewards you receive in seeing your students persevere, overcome and achieve must be incredibly rewarding. To the parents, we hope this year gives you pride and love. Being a parent these days is no easy task and having children in school can be difficult at times. But, while we hope the year is a success, we urge all parents to get involved in your children’s education. There is no greater support group for a child than their parents. When a child succeeds, make sure they know of your joy at their success. And, if a child has a problem, get with them and their teachers to be an encouraging and helpful force. To the students, we wish for you the very best year of your lives. You won’t realize until years later, but these are years you will treasure forever. And, they are important ones. What you achieve in the classrooms will shape your destiny. It will determine your future jobs, incomes, and the quality of life you will enjoy. So, the bell has rung and class has begun. We have no doubt all three of these groups will do

A SOLDIER DIED TODAY He was getting old and paunchy And his hair was falling fast, And he sat around the Legion, Telling stories of the past.
Are often disproportionate To the service that he gives. While the ordinary soldier, Who offered up his all, Is paid off with a medal And perhaps a pension, small.
Of a war that he once fought in And the deeds that he had done, In his exploits with his buddies; They were heroes, every one.
It’s so easy to forget them, For it is so many times, That our Bobs and Jims went to battle, But for them we seldom pine.
And ‘tho often to his neighbors His tales became a joke. All his buddies listened quietly For they knew whereof he spoke.
It was not the politicians With their compromise and ploys, Who won for us the freedom That our Country now enjoys.
But we’ll hear his tales no longer, For ol’ Bob has passed away, And the world’s a little poorer For a Soldier died today.
Should you find yourself in danger, With your enemies at hand, Would you really want some cop-out, With his ever waffling stand.
He won’t be mourned by many, Just his children and his wife. For he lived an ordinary, Very quiet sort of life. He held a job and raised a family, Going quietly on his way; And the world won’t note his passing, ‘tho a Soldier died today.
Or would you want a Soldier, His home, his country, his kin, Just an ordinary Soldier, Who would fight until the end?
When politicians leave this earth, Their bodies lie in state, While thousands note their passing, And proclaim that they were great. Papers tell of their life stories From the time that they were young, But the passing of a Soldier Goes unnoticed and unsung. Is the greatest contribution To the welfare of our land, Some jerk who breaks his promise And cons his fellow man?
He was just a common Soldier, And his ranks are growing thin, But his presence should remind us We may need his like again. For when countries are in conflict, We find the Soldier’s part Is to clean up all the troubles That politicians start. If we cannot do him honor While he’s here to hear the praise, Then at least let’s give him homage At the ending of his days.
Or the ordinary fellow Who in times of war and strife, Goes off to serve his Country And offers up his life?
Perhaps just a simple headline In the paper that may say: “OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, A SOLDIER DIED TODAY.”
The politician’s stipend And the style in which he lives,

God’s grace always prevails through the messiah Jesus Dan Newton Divine Guidance
Matthew 1: 1 says, “ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” (KJV) Although they were sinful men, David and Abraham, by God’s grace, both were ancestors of Jesus Christ. David sinned against Bethsheba and her husband, Uriah. He was also a poor father who failed to discipline his children. One of those (Absalom) even tried to wrest the throne from David by armed rebellion. Abraham on two different occasions (Gen. 12: 11 - 19; 20: 1-18) told pagan kings that his wife Sarah was his sister. This brought shame on
Sarah, himself, and God, the One he claimed to trust and serve. In spite of these sins, God made Abraham the father of Israel, the chosen people from whom Christ would arise. The Lord appointed David head of the kingly line from whom Messiah was promised. Furthermore, God’s grace extended to specific descendants of these two men. Abraham’s son Isaac was the son of promise and a type of Christ, willingly offered up to God (Gen. 22: 1-13). Isaac’s son Jacob and his sons were leaders of the people of Israel. God’s grace was always with them, even when they needed discipline or rebuke. David’s son and royal successor, Solomon, was peaceful and wiser than most men but also foolish and sinful in many ways. His hundreds of wives,
mostly pagan, turned his and the people’s hearts away from the Lord (1 Kings 11: 1-8). The kingdom of Israel soon became divided, but the royal line remained and God eventually fulfilled His promise to David, God’s grace prevailing in the person of Messiah Jesus.

The first years of marriage can determine its outcome James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: If a man and woman really love each other, won’t that hold their marriage steady when the storms come? DR. DOBSON: Not necessarily — and certainly not if you are thinking of love as a romantic feeling. Feeling wonderful about one another does not make two people compatible over the long haul. Many couples assume
that the excitement of their courtship will continue for the rest of their lives. That virtually never occurs. It is naive to expect two unique individuals to mesh together like a couple of machines and to remain exhilarated throughout life. Even gears have multiple cogs with rough edges to be honed before they will work in concert. That honing process usually occurs in the first year or two of marriage. The foundation for all that is to follow is laid in those critical months. What often occurs at this time is a dramatic struggle for power in the
Is it time to find out, follow your life plan? Submitted by Pastor Al Earley What do you have to live for? The answers would be diverse if we were to ask a crowd. Some might say, “To see my basketball team win the NCAA tournament, to have all the chores done at the house, get a high school diploma, win a million dollars on a TV reality show, or to find happiness.” As you reflect on what you have to live for, consider what the prophet Jeremiah faced in his day. During much of his career Jeremiah saw the power and threat of Babylon grow, and the corruption and sinfulness of the Jews weaken their country. He prophesied that Babylon would crush Israel and became known as a prophet of doom. On the eve of Babylon’s conquest of Jerusalem, Jeremiah became the prophet of hope, hope that after the misery of conquest and destruction, God would bring them home and rebuild his chosen people. Jeremiah writes, “For thus says the Lord: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘Save, O Lord, your people, the remnant of Israel.’” (Jeremiah 31:7) After the Babylonians finished with them, many Jews felt they had nothing to live for. The Babylonians liked a diabolical dose of cruelty with their military conquests. King Zedekiah was made to watch his family be killed, then his eyes were poked out so it would be the last thing he saw. The Jews were marched around the empire, and foreigners put in their homeland, so that each region would remain weak. It was in this situation that Jeremiah proclaimed, “Sing, praise, shout, for God will not abandon us, but will bring us back together in our promised land, a chosen people.”
As Jeremiah saw it, they had everything to live for, not because of any strength they had, nor any goodness of the Babylonians, but because of God. That is Jeremiah’s message for us today. In God we can always find something to live for. Even in the face of the greatest devastations we can imagine, we can find hope and meaning for our lives if we look to God. Each of us, I imagine, knows of a time when we are unsure what we are living for, or have found ourselves alone and in despair. Our answers to this question will certainly be different, but one thing we share in common is that God has a plan for our lives each day, and to find the most joy, happiness, and meaning in life we must seek out and live according to God’s will for our lives. Are you going through an especially difficult time in your life right now? Do you know what you are living for? Do you know what God wants you to do with your life? Has God shown you His plan for your life in the past, but you have run away from that plan? Is it time to find out and follow God’s plan for your life? There was no reason for Jeremiah to believe the Jewish faith would survive the Babylonian conquest. The times, the rules of conquest, the brutality all indicated the opposite. But Jeremiah’s hopes were fulfilled. Just 100 years later the Persians changed the rules of war games, and showed benevolence toward conquered peoples. Jeremiah didn’t know exactly what would happen, but God had revealed to him that He was not done with the Jewish people. His faith in God taught him to boldly declare what God had revealed, even if it didn’t make sense to the wisdom of the world.
relationship. Who will lead? Who will follow? Who will determine how the money is spent? Who will get his or her way in times of disagreement? Everything is up for grabs in the beginning, and the way these early decisions are made will set the stage for the future.

Flu vaccines are the best way to stave off the flu Submitted by Meade County Health Department
It’s hard to believe, but flu season is just around the corner. The best way to prevent or lessen the severity of the flu is to get vaccinated every fall. Flu vaccination usually begins in September, or as soon as vaccine becomes available. Last year, a new and different flu virus (called 2009 H1N1) spread worldwide causing the first flu pandemic in over 40 years. For the 2010 flu season, seasonal flu vaccine will contain protection against the 2009 H1N1 flu as well two other types of influenza that scientists estimate will be most prevalent. The good news is that most Americans will be able to return to receiving one flu vaccine. However,
children who have never had seasonal flu vaccine will still require two doses. Influenza vaccine has a very good safety record, and hundreds of millions of Americans have received vaccination. There are two types of flu vaccine: the flu shot, which is an inactivated (or killed) vaccine which is given with a needle in the arm, or the nasal spray flu vaccine, which is a live, weakened vaccine which is a spray taken up the nose. The shot is approved for use in people over six months of age, including people with chronic medical conditions. The nasal spray vaccine is approved for use in healthy people ages 2-49 who are not pregnant. Anyone who wishes to reduce their chances of getting the flu can be vaccinated, but it is recom-
mended that the following groups get vaccinated each year: •Children aged six months to five years •Pregnant women •People aged 50 and older •People of any age with certain chronic health conditions •People who live in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities •People who live with or care for those at high risk for flu complications If you are severely allergic to eggs, have ever had a severe allergic reaction to an influenza vaccination, or have a child that is younger than six months of age, you should contact your physician before receiving flu vaccinations. For more information on flu vaccine, contact the Meade County Health Department at their office, 270-422-3988.

Accident From page A1 Mt. Vernon, Ky., in the rear wheel area. Upon contact, Austin left the roadway and came to a stop in a grassy area just off the roadway. Clark’s vehicle came to rest on the road itself. The Breckinridge County Coroner pronounced Austin dead on the scene. Clark was not injured. Police reports say both men were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident. Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Department deputies and Kentucky State Police troopers responded to the scene. Kentucky State Trooper Norman Chaffins is continuing the investigation.
The majority of soldiers of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, stationed at Fort Knox, began deploying to The National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif. last Thursday. They will conduct a mission readiness training exercise in preparation of their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.
According to a press release from the brigade’s public affairs office, they will spend the month of August at the NTC, located in California’s Mojave Desert, training in a simulated Afghanistan environment complete with coalition bases, towns, and role-players acting as Afghan civilians, soldiers, police, government workers and insurgents. A smaller group of soldiers left for Fort Irwin Saturday, and those remain-
ing will continue to deploy during the remainder of the week. The 3-1 IBCT was activated at Fort Knox in the fall of 2009. The brigade had been stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, before that, and saw a one-year deployment to Afghanistan from July 2008July 2009. The brigade consists of over 3,500 active duty soldiers living in and around the Fort Knox area.

Staff Report The News Standard The hottest day of the year so far turned even hotter for Meade County emergency responders who battled an overturned oil tanker, which caught fire in an accident Wednesday. Members of the Payneville and Battletown Fire Protection Districts battled the blaze in temperatures reaching above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, coupled with high humidity creating a dangerous heat index on Wednesday. “Payneville and Battletown (Fire Protection Districts) did a good job,” Dodson said. “I was greatly pleased with how they handled the situation. They kept a bad situation from being a whole lot worse.” The tanker, which was hauling five different compartments containing 1200 gallons of motor and hy-
Grants From page A1 this month with winners to be decided in September. Duncan said there would be $3.4 billion in funding which would allow grants to be awarded to “about 10 to 15 states.” The state could receive $175 million that could be used to fund education reforms passed by the General Assembly in 2009. Mitch Crump, Meade County School superintendent, said the number one priority for new funds in the local system would be to implement new standards. “We would implement the new standards as set by the legislation that includes training for staff,” Crump said. “We’ll be doing a whole new assessment with standards that are less numerous, but more thorough.”

However, Kentucky’s hope for those extra funds could be hampered because the state remains the only finalist that does not have charter schools legislation. State officials believe that thwarted the state’s chances during the first round of “Race to the Top” awards. Charter schools are specially licensed or chartered to operate outside of normal and traditional educational rules. In this second-round, Kentucky is competing with Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

It’s August, and that means I’m busily trying to figure out a way to preserve the smells and flavors of my favorite vegetables. I enjoy stocking my freezer with the vegetables I’ve grown or bought in large quantities from local farmers. Your freezer is one of the best ways to preserve the color and flavor of summer produce all year long. Here’s some great tips for freezing the best selection of your favorite summer vegetables and herbs: Can I Freeze Bell and Sweet Peppers Raw? If you’ve picked a peck of peppers and have too many to eat, try freezing them. Peppers are one of those foods that can be quickly frozen raw without blanching them first. The National Center for Home Food Preservation, hosted by the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, offers these guidelines on freezing bell and sweet peppers raw: Select crisp, tender, green or bright-red pods. Wash, cut out stems, cut in half and remove seeds. If desired, cut into 1/2-inch strips or rings. Good for use in uncooked foods because they have a crisper texture, or in cooked foods. Package raw, leaving no headspace. Seal and freeze. NOTE: To make it easier to remove only the amount of frozen bell or sweet peppers needed at one time, freeze sliced or diced peppers in a single layer on a cookie sheet with sides. Transfer to a “freezer” bag when frozen, excluding as much air as possible from the bag. Can Tomatoes be Frozen Raw? Like peppers, tomatoes can be frozen raw. Frozen tomatoes are best used in cooked foods such as soups, sauces and stews as they become mushy when they’re
thawed. Select firm, ripe tomatoes with deep red color. Wash and dip in boiling water for 30 seconds to loosen skins. Core and peel. Freeze whole or in pieces. Pack into containers, leaving l-inch headspace. Seal and freeze. TIP: Dip just a few tomatoes at a time into the boiling water or the water temperature may be lowered too much to remove the skins without overheating the tomatoes. Place hot tomatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water to make them easier to handle. A knife with a serrated edge works best for cutting tomatoes. How About Freezing Fresh Herbs? Wash, drain and pat the herbs dry with paper towels. Wrap a few sprigs or leaves in freezer wrap and place in a freezer bag, then seal and freeze. The frozen herbs can be chopped and used in cooked dishes. After freezing, the herbs usually are not suitable for garnish, as they become limp when thawed. TIP: To extend the time frozen fruits and vegetables maintain good quality, package foods in material intended for freezing and keep the temperature of the freezer at 0 F or below. It is generally recommended that frozen vegetables and fruits be eaten within eight months for best quality. GAZPACHO This wonderful recipe for Gazpacho is a great way to use a variety of your favorite herbs and summer vegetables. 6 large tomatoes 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped 1 medium-sized red onion, minced 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon 2 tablespoons fresh pars-
ley, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 medium avocado, peeled and diced, for garnish 1 cup herbed croutons, for garnish 1. To peel the tomatoes, submerge them in boiling water for 15 seconds. (Dip just a few tomatoes at a time or the water temperature may be lowered too much to remove the skins without overheating the tomatoes.) Place in a colander and rinse under cold water. The skins should slip right off. Core the tomatoes and gently squeeze out the seeds. Chop half of the tomatoes coarsely and puree the other half in a food processor. Combine the puree and chopped tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. 2. Add the cucumber, bell pepper, onion, vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, parsley, basil, hot sauce, salt, pepper, sugar and nutmeg to the tomatoes. Mix gently to blend the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. 3. Serve chilled. Garnish with the avocado and herbed croutons, if desired. Makes 6 servings.

NEWS School lunches aim to give kids a proper equilibrium 2010 SCHOOL SERIES The News Standard - A9
Friday, August 6, 2010
By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Editor’s Note: This is the second story in a seven-part series concerning different aspects of a student’s life in Meade County and the opportunities made available to them.
Have you eaten lunch with your kid at school lately? Bit down into a slice of pizza or chicken nugget? How about nachos, grated carrots or a piece of kiwi? School lunches today aren’t the overly processed meals of the past. They have come a long way since the days of unrecognizable lunch food with large portions and high calories, but naysayers and critics alike say there’s always room for improvement. “When I first started here we used to deep fry our fries,” said Jennifer Miller, Meade County Schools Food Service Director. “Now, we don’t fry anything. Everything is baked. If we serve any ice cream, it will be low fat or frozen yogurt.” In the past, Meade County offered doughnuts for breakfast and ice cream with students’ lunches. Now, Miller says the lunches are more balanced. While they still offer some sweets, they try to offer healthier options. “We do put a cookie on the menu once a week because we don’t want to completely pull it away,” she said. “But, we can balance it out with our nutritional analysis because we offer so many fruits and vegetables.” The subject of school lunches even hit the national TV scene with “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution,” where one cook challenged himself to change school menus across the nation for the better. In the first episode, however, the reception to the idea of healthy foods went over like a fly in one’s soup. Reception of the change here has been more positive than negative. “I think we have a good amount of students who do choose salads, which is why we’ve continued to do it, too,” she said. “Plus, we say

even if we only have five kids at a school that want a salad, it’s still worth it to offer them.” Miller added that although change is good, it is good to continue to offer lunches that the children enjoy — foods like chicken nuggets and pizza. “We want to offer their favorite things, but we try to balance it out,” she said. Since the Meade County Food Service Program is a federal program, they are required to follow federal guidelines, which specifies the amount of protein, bread, fruits, vegetables and milk a student should have in a week. “We can count our bread in the pizza or if we have a hamburger, we count our bread in the bun,” Miller said. The federal guidelines also outline specific temperatures for the food, as well as the length of time something should be served. Once food is out on the line, Stuart Pepper Middle School Cafeteria Manager Alice Waltz said her workers take special precautions to make the food look presentable and check the temperature every 30 minutes. For example, SPMS cafeteria workers begin preparing food at 7:30 a.m. At the end of the day, food is either tossed or wrapped-up to be served the next day. If it isn’t consumed by the next day, it’s discarded. Part of the guidelines state that no more than 30 percent of calories can come from fat and less than 10 percent from saturated fat. Typically, students get to select from two entries, vegetables, fruits, a bread, juice or milk. An example of a weekly menu in Meade County consists of French toast sticks, cereal and toast, chilled juice and fresh fruit for breakfast; and hot ham and cheese on a bun, cheese nachos with salsa, green beans, glazed carrots, fresh kiwi and pears for lunch. There was a time when students were handed a tray of foods they may not want to eat, but Meade County lunchrooms aren’t like lunchrooms of the past.
“I know when I was in school, you pretty much got what was given to you for the day,” Miller said. “It was put on your tray and you pretty much didn’t get to choose. Now, the kids come in and choose what they want,” Miller added. “But, students don’t have to choose all five. To meet our requirements, they have to choose three out of five.” If a student doesn’t meet the guidelines, a cashier or kitchen manager will suggest foods they may have missed. But Miller said no kitchen manager or staff member would discourage a student who wanted particular fruits or vegetables. “If they want to take it, we won’t limit it,” she said. “We don’t turn them away from it.” Since students get to choose what they want to put on their plate, the amount of food each school wastes actually decreases, Miller said. “It works best for everyone because they’re choosing things they want to eat and not what they’re told they have to eat because it will go straight into the garbage,” she added. The Meade County Food Service Program also addresses food allergies or specific food needs. If a child has a particular food allergy and can eat certain foods, it can be addressed with a properly submitted doctor’s note. “We always try to work with any of our students to fit their needs,” Miller said. “We look at them as if they’re our customers and we try to treat them like they’re customers.” For example, the schools can provide lactose-free milk to a student who can’t drink regular milk. “We can’t change things based on preference,” Miller said. “But, if somebody has special needs, and they have a doctor’s note, we will accommodate them.” Those at Food Services always welcome suggestions, although mere suggestions don’t end with results. “Our managers and ladies are very good at trying to find what the kids want and what they like,” Miller said. “That gives us feedback and we do try to accommodate, if we can.”

THE NEWS STANDARD/ JENNIFER CORBETT AND BEN ACHTABOWSKI
According to Waltz, feedback from students is heard almost everyday. Sometimes they aren’t keen on the food options, but her cafeteria staff tries to open students’ eyes to new foods they’ve never tried. “We encourage them to if they’ve never tried it,” Waltz
said. “We want to tell them if something looks ugly and sounds bad, it probably tastes good.” The current food program isn’t perfect, but there is always room for modifications and the cafeteria staff in Meade County are constantly looking for new, healthy
ways to serve students. “We are continually changing and looking for ways to improve,” Miller said. “We want to offer things kids like and make sure we have a good balance and a variety of healthy options for them.”

FEATURES KET producer has 30-year love affair with Kentucky music A10 - The News Standard
Friday, August 6, 2010
Bill Monroe may be known as the “father of bluegrass music,” but a man who has helped keep it alive is a less famous Kentuckian. For much of the 30 years he spent producing and directing programming for Kentucky Educational Television (KET), H. Russell Farmer’s work was centered around music. Not just any music, but the sounds associated with the likes of J. D. Crowe and The New South, Jean Ritchie, Ricky Skaggs, and dozens more native Kentuckians. At KET, one of the nation’s largest public/ educational TV networks, Farmer endeared himself to fans of bluegrass by cofounding and producing Jubilee, a KET series that continues to film live festival performances throughout the state. Created by Farmer and Guy Mendes more than 13 years ago, the series has been widely syndicated via public education networks and broadcast throughout the United States. Now in semiretirement...”I do what I want when I want,”... the 62-year-old man from Poplarville, Ky., looks back on his career with few regrets and much appreciation for the people who helped him along the way. At the top of the list is his father, Howard. A tiller of the soil who now lies among seven generations of Farmers at Poplarville Cemetery in Pulaski County, Howard recognized the value of hard work and education, providing his son with a strong work ethic as he labored on the family farm, and encouraged him to further his education. “I hadn’t prepared myself well in high school,”
his image hangs in the museum at Renfro Valley. Farmer, who was taught how to play guitar by his father, spends much of his time performing with two bands, Ruby & ‘em, a jam and performing group he has been with for 14 years, and his newest band, Howard’s Creek, as guitarist and lead vocalist. Other pursuits include playing with his “toys,” a restored 1949 Ford and a ‘71 TR6 he is currently restoring. But mainly his focus is on his family, especially his 86-year-old mother, Retha. He and his sister, Diane, visit her daily at the Lexington nursing home where she has resided the past five years. An Alzheimer’s sufferer, she hasn’t been able to recognize even her own children for many years, Russ noted. “I go over there to feed her lunch, and Sis feeds her dinner.” Divorced for 25 years, the devoted son is the father of three daughters and four grandchildren, all of whom live in the Lexington area. “My girls are my good friends, but we’re about the only family that’s left. There’s an aunt and a few cousins in Somerset, but hardly anyone at Poplarville.” Although it’s mostly only memories that remain, Farmer says the community will always remain special and that’s why he and his sister already have markers in the cemetery there. “I’m not sorry I left, because it’s life experiences since college that made me the man I’ve become, but there will always be a piece of that little boy from Poplarville in me because that’s where the work ethic and honesty came from.”

Crowe. the Pulaski High graduate of the class of ’66 said. “My first love was printing, which I learned at the Somerset vocational school, but my dad and Almond Bradley (a family friend and teacher) sat me down and suggested I needed to go to college.” Entering a work-study program at Somerset Community College, the young student helped clear ground for more buildings at the new facility, did janitorial work, and manned the bookstore, all the while making $1.25 per hour. His strong work ethic and friendly disposition drew the attention of several faculty members, including two who would become very influential regarding his future. “John Howard (a wheelchair bound teacher in the telecommunications department) asked me to be his legs one sum-
mer, and I learned a lot from him,” Farmer said. Don Orwin recognized Farmer’s potential as a broadcaster and got him involved with announcing on the college’s 10-watt radio station. “The first time I got behind that mike, it was the same feeling I got from printing,” Farmer said, who noted he worked his way up to chief announcer. “I was a country boy with a bad accent, so I’m sure I butchered the names of many of the artists I introduced.” After three years at SCC, Farmer moved on to UK where Orwin helped him join a work-study program involving UK-TV. His education was interrupted by a stint in Vietnam, but he returned to UK-TV where he was working in 1973 “when KET came calling.” After first signing on as a cameraman, a job he hated because he had to be on his feet too much, Farmer
Assess your water footprint Jennifer Bridge Family & Consumer Science
The term carbon footprint is a measure of the impact your activities have on the environment based on how much carbon dioxide those activities produce. Examples range from driving a car to using disposable plastics. Greater knowledge about limited energy sources and programs like “See Blue, Go Green” help raise awareness about our individual impact on the environment. What many consumers may not know is that they also have a water footprint. Similar to our carbon footprint, our water footprint is defined by primary and secondary uses. Primary uses include watering the lawn and using the dishwasher. Secondary uses have more to do with the water resources needed to manufacture products we buy. For example, the production of one cup of coffee uses approximately 37 gallons of water. This calculation begins with the water needed to grow the coffee tree. It continues to add up with processing and transportation costs and ends with the water you pour into your coffeepot. Don’t forget any water that might be used to produce the electricity that powers your coffeepot. The above example illustrates how quickly gallons can add up. When you consider the average water footprint per capita in the United States is more than 660,000 gallons per year, it is easy

To determine your water footprint, go to the Web site www.waterfootprint.org and click on the calculator. Just a little effort can go a long way toward reducing your water footprint. Here are some simple steps you can take to help conserve this natural resource: 1. Shorten your shower by two minutes and save 5 to 10 gallons of water. 2. Do not let the water run when washing your hands or brushing your teeth. A running faucet can use more than two gallons of water per minute. 3. Repair leaky faucets. One dripping faucet can use up to 25 gallons of water a day. 4. Wash full loads of laundry or adjust the loadsize setting if you need to wash smaller loads. 5. Set automatic dishwashers to the water-saving or short cycle.
6. Use a pan or a sink full of water to wash and rinse dishes. Don’t rinse dishes under a running faucet. 7. Keep a bottle or pitcher of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the faucet to get cold water. 8. Use a small pool for outdoor play instead of a water hose or sprinkler. 9. Mulch trees, shrubs and flower and vegetable gardens to help retain soil moisture. Control weeds, which compete with plants for water. 10. Water lawns and gardens early in the morning. This will help reduce water lost through evaporation. For more information about water conservation, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service. Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.
moved on to become a production assistant and learned how to edit film. A turning point in his career with KET came about in 1975 when he was asked on the spur of the moment to serve as a floor director for a band that was recording in the studios. The band, J. D. Crowe and The New South, included outstanding bluegrass pickers such as Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Jerry Douglass, and Bobby Slone, in addition to Crowe. Following that impressive performance, Farmer seized every opportunity to be involved with music at KET, starting with the long-running Lonesome Pine Special. Along the way, taping festivals across the state, including the Master Musicians Festival in Somerset, became a major part of Farmer’s work. “I figured if I ever quit doing the music, I might have to go back to doing some of the jobs that I found boring, like public
service programming.” Doing the music scene wasn’t all fun and games, he contends. “The truth of it is it’s four days of glamour (filming a festival) and 361 days of sitting in a little dark room editing,” he said, noting that such a lifestyle has caused him some health problems. “It’s a long, creative process, and it was killing me as I found myself getting more and more out of shape,” Farmer said, noting he is 6-4 and weighs 330 pounds. He has done several documentaries, including A Kentucky Treasure: The J. D. Crowe Story, and may do more, but at his own pace. He has received numerous awards for his work already, not the least of which was being named recipient of the first Stephen Foster Award from the Kentucky Broadcasters Association. This honor was bestowed on him at the inaugural Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and a banner featuring
AGRICULTURE Environment stems clover growth causing bloat in beef cattle
The News Standard - A11
Friday, August 6, 2010
Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources
It seems like every year something in agriculture out of the ordinary happens. I guess it is getting harder to refer to a normal year because “what is normal?” This year environmental conditions were just right to suppress grass growth and stimulate clover growth. All across Kentucky cattle loss due to bloating was a common occurrence. Even now pastures show an abundance of clover. Beef producers need to be aware of bloat and take the necessary precautions of preventing it. The following information by Dr. Jeff Lehmkuhler, University of Kentucky Beef Specialist, helps explains what happens during bloat and how to deal with clover in the pasture.
Unlike gaseous bloat commonly associated with high grain diets, frothy bloat is more difficult to relieve using the esophageal tube approach. Frothy bloat associated with grazing is often the result of consuming forages that are high in soluble protein combined with rapid fermentation. This produces a stable foam in the rumen blocking the normal escape of the gas from fermentation through eructation or belching. This build up of gas results in rumen distension similar to blowing up a balloon which can impact the animal’s ability to breath normally due to pressure against the diaphragm. This stable foam must be disrupted to allow the gas to escape. Saliva contains mucin, which has been shown to be key in disrupting and preventing the formation of this stable foam. Wet, lush forages however, reduce chewing activity and saliva production. Risk is
greater during periods when the forage is wet such as when dew is present in the morning and evenings. Stimulating rumination by providing palatable, good quality grass hay is believed to help prevent frothy bloat. Some researchers, however, have not shown this to be an effective means of preventing or reducing the severity of bloat. Feed additives are commonly utilized to prevent and reduce the severity of bloat. Using ionophores has been shown to be effective in preventing and reducing the severity of bloat. Monensin (Rumensin) is commonly utilized in wheat grazing areas to prevent wheat pasture bloat. It has been shown to reduce the incidence of frothy bloat from legumes in cattle when consumed at levels near 150-200 milligrams per head daily. Monensin is readily accessible from feed dealers and several offer mineral products containing it. It is important to note that
free choice mineral mixtures are approved for grazing stockers and replacement heifers. There is not, however, an approval for providing a free-choice mineral containing monensin for beef cows and it must be mixed in with at least 1 pound of grain supplement according to the product label. Poloxalene is another feed additive shown to be very effective in preventing frothy bloat. It is more effective than monensin and other ionophores, however, it can be costly to feed. Poloxalene blocks are commonly utilized by producers for their convenience. Poloxalene can also be obtained in a powder form to be mixed in supplements or mineral mixtures. During periods of severe bloat risk, the target intake level of poloxalene is 2 grams per 100 pounds of body weight. This can be reduced to 1 gram per 100 pounds of body weight as the risk to
Beef producers scheduled to be at Kentucky State Fair Submitted by Kentucky Beef Council Kentucky’s 40,000 Beef Producers are once again the proud sponsor of the 2010 Gourmet Garden at the Kentucky State Fair.

bloat diminishes. It is recommended that poloxalene be introduced two to three days prior to introduction into pastures that are at risk to promote bloat. Poloxalene must also be consumed on a daily basis as there is no carry over protection. There are additional practical management strategies to reduce the incidence of frothy bloat. Ideally, the legume content should be kept below 50 percent to reduce the risk of bloat throughout the grazing season. Allowing the legumes to mature to late bud, early bloom stage will also reduce the risk bloat. Risk to bloat from legumes is reported to be higher for vegetative, pre-bud stages. Moving cattle to pastures with less legume content and returning to pastures when the legumes have advanced in maturity might be an effective strategy if such diversity exists on your farm.
Avoid moving cattle to new fields with high legume content when they are hungry. Attempt to fulfill their hunger with high quality hay if necessary before moving into legume pastures. Monitor cattle frequently throughout the day. When faced with an emergency case of frothy bloat, prompt treatment is extremely important as death can occur in as little as one hour after grazing begins but is more commonly seen three to four hours after bloat starts. If life threatening, your veterinarian may do an emergency rumenotomy (cutting a hole in the rumen) to relieve the pressure. If not in immediate danger, passing a stomach tube into the rumen and administering an antifoaming agent such as mineral oil may aid with the problem. For more information you are encouraged to contact your county Agricultural Extension agent and your veterinarian.

Commissioner Farmer opposes proposed cigarette regulations Submitted By Ky. Dept. of Agriculture
FRANKFORT — Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer is denouncing proposed international rules that would unfairly target Kentucky growers and could cripple a substantial portion of Kentucky’s economy. Farmer joined members of Kentucky’s congressional delegation and fellow agriculture commissioners from other tobacco-growing states in opposing proposed World Health Organization regulations that would ban ingredients other than tobacco in cigarette production. Burley tobacco becomes harsh-tasting during the curing process, so manufacturers add flavors to make cigarettes made with burley more palatable to smokers. A global ban on such additives in effect would
eliminate the market for Kentucky-grown burley, Commissioner Farmer said. “We’ve made great strides to diversify Kentucky agriculture in recent years. Yet still today, thousands of Kentucky farmers rely upon burley to provide the income that feeds their children and pays their bills,” Commissioner Farmer said. “If the current proposal is adopted as is, many Kentuckians could lose their farms, and many more could lose their jobs.” The Commissioner noted that there is little evidence that the proposed rules would reduce cigarette consumption. “Foreign manufacturers would probably just shift to another variety of tobacco,” Commissioner Farmer said. “I do not believe that damaging Kentucky’s economy in exchange for a negligible health benefit makes sense.”
Commissioner Farmer said the new rules, if enacted, would make Kentucky’s continuing efforts toward diversification more difficult because it would wreck a large share of the Commonwealth’s farm economy, forcing many farms to go out of business before they are able to find a replacement for burley. Kentucky is the largest burley-producing state in the nation with more than 161 million pounds grown in 2009, according to the Kentucky office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service. The 2009 burley crop was valued at more than $274 million. Exports account for about 80 percent of U.S. burley use. Exports of all Kentucky tobacco in 2008 were valued at more than $331 million, according to NASS.

BUSINESS Locksmith business is ‘key’ to relieving man’s boredom
Friday, August 6, 2010
A12 - The News Standard
By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard David Vujakliga wanted to find a hobby that would keep him busy once he retired from the United States Air Force. He kept busy getting an associate’s degree in industrial electronics from DeVry University and working a full-time job, but David was still bored. When some items of a personal nature came up in his life his wife, Barbara, suggested he find something to do to get his mind off things. “In one of my Air Force magazines, it had home correspondence courses,” David said. “I looked down through there and saw locksmithing. So I wrote for a brochure.” He pursued the brochure’s information and took the courses. Upon completion, he began working under a locksmith. After working under someone else, David was ready to open up his business. Out of that, Ohio Valley Lock and Security was born. Ohio Valley Lock and Security focuses on lock services, including repining, repair and replacement; access control systems such as keypads and wireless entry; safes, including recombination; repair or replacement of locks; and emergency unlocks for residence and commercial buildings. Other services include creating locks for something as simple as a filing cabinet to something as complex as a safe. From the get go, it was a perfect fit for the Vujakliga family. “I like working with my hands,” David said. “I’m not a bookworm, but I like to meet people and I like to talk. I like to find out about people and one way to do that is being in the service industry.” David, along with his son David Jr., and daughterin-law Amy, makes up the team behind Ohio Valley Lock and Security launched in February 2010. The business was originally located in Athens, Ohio. It stretched across five counties in Ohio and West Virginia, which David
referred to as the “golden mile.” At first, when David and his wife were going to move to Brandenburg, the thought of relocating his business didn’t cross his mind. “They were just going to come down here to retire and be close to the grandkids,” Amy said. “But we thought this could be an avenue of ways to retirement. So they brought the equipment down and we’re starting to build it up.” With 18 years of experience under his belt, David has quite a bit of materials and tools to his name, but he is nowhere close to having everything he needs. “I still don’t have all the equipment I need, which would take about $10,000,” David said. Some of the supplies that are necessities to his job include teeth cutters, duplicators, a peg board full of different types of keys and a box full of pins he uses to re-pin locks. Once construction was completed on his home office in Amy’s garage, it created just what the doctor ordered — a place for David to store all of his materials. “I can sit down at a bench so I don’t get my wife mad for using the kitchen table or the dining room table,” he said, jokingly. While David is out on the job, Amy stays behind in the office to take care of the public relations side of the business. “Amazingly enough there is a lot of writing involved,” she said. “We’re going to send out letters and do lots of door to door work introducing ourselves and with this last name, you’re going to remember it. The Vujakliga name is hard to forget.” Each lock and key is different, so prices do vary depending on the service required. “For me to re-pin a lock, it takes about 15 minutes,” he said. “For me to drill a hole and put in a dead bolt, it takes about 30 minutes.” Once he is finished with a job, David lets the homeowner or landlord have the option of having a master key that would fit into every lock in the house. This is possible due to the amount
of pins David installs into each lock. “If you change the length of those pins, you’ve got one key,” David said. “But if you add pins to the top of that, then you can use another key. If you can use that same stack throughout all these locks and everything else, you can use that one key to open up anything you want.” Throughout his years of experience, one common aggravation of the job is seeing people whose keys are in big bulks with an excess of key chains and pictures. If a key gets too heavy it will weight down on the ignition lock, causing it to turn off easily. “In a car, that’s bad,” David said. “It pulls down on the key and eventually you’ll have to call a locksmith to come in and change your ignition lock out. Sometimes, it will get so loose that, if you’re driving down the road and hit a speed bump, it will turn the lock itself to the off position. “I’ve had several people call me asking ‘Can you get this broken key out of my ignition?’ and I would be like ‘Well, where is the other part of your key?’ Then they would hand it to me and I would be like ‘No wonder it broke.’ It’s like a piece of medal. If you sit there and bend it two or three times it’s going to
Goin’ Postal plans openings
Submitted by Meade Co. Chamber of Commerce Goin’ Postal is inviting the public not to one, but two grand openings and ribbon-cutting ceremonies to mark its debut in Meade County. The first will take place at noon on Wednesday, August 11, at its location at 4225 Flaherty Road in Flaherty, and the second at noon on Thursday, August 12, at its store at 1965 Brandenburg Road in Brandenburg. Goin’ Postal’s owners are
Mike and Debbie Jones, who decided to open the business after seeing a need for better packing and shipping services in Meade County. In particular, they cited business and residential growth in the Flaherty area as one of the key reasons they decided on the venture. In addition to packing and shipping via both UPS and FedEx, both stores offer U.S. postage stamps at cost; mailbox rentals; packing and office supplies; gift cards and bags; and faxing,

break.” Ever since the threemember duo brought Ohio Valley Lock and Security to the Meade County area, the focal point has been to make connections and get the word out about the company. “The nice thing is it’s a small community, you make those connections and those connections stay,” Amy said. “It’s nice to have that hometown feel. It’s a place to retire and stay forever.” For more information about Ohio Valley Lock and Security call the business at 270-422-1139.

MC boys golf team young but experienced By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard The Meade County Greenwave boys golf team is without a senior this season. Yet, experience isn’t a problem for the team. The Greenwave returns top player and last year’s state qualifier junior Chase Garris along with a handful of players who have seen their fair share of tournament play. “I guess we’re somewhat kind of young,” said head coach Josh Thompson. “It seems kind of silly to say that because these guys have played a lot of golf. Just because we have a few juniors and a few sophomores doesn’t mean we’re a young bunch.”
(at the state tournament) ended up shooting a 72, but he started out with four straight bogeys,” Garris said. “He just kept his head. I learned that you have to stay like that and you can fight back.” Now that Garris is a junior, he’s starting to strengthen his game and body. “Of course getting older, I’m going to get stronger,” Garris said. “I’m hitting the ball a lot farther. I’m hitting the ball a lot better.” Garris says he’s added 15 to 20 yards to his drive. “It’s relieving,” Garris said about having a longer drive this season. “Instead of hitting a long iron, I may be hitting a short iron. It
Garris is a seasoned high school player at this point with experience in the junior tour since he was nine years old. The team is rounded out by junior Matt Hewlett, sophomore Chad Lancaster, junior Blake Hardesty, junior Brian Carter and freshman Dustin McMahan. “We’re going to have four or five kids that are coming back that have quite a bit of experience,” Thompson said. “Chase is going to be the leader. I’m really going to be leaning on him quite a bit.” Last season, Garris made the state tournament by shooting a 76 at the region tournament. Though he was unable to make the cut during the state tournament, he gained a lot of experience. “The kid I played with

Golf coach is building for the future
ABOVE: Selena Burton works on her passing. LEFT: Tiffany Filburn looks to lead the Lady Waves this season.
By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard In his third year as head coach, Rob Miller is building a solid foundation for the Meade County Lady Waves golf team. Though the team is full of young, inexperienced golfers, the team’s future is brighter than it has been in years. “I think we look good for the future,” Miller said. “This year will be up and down, maybe some more downs than ups. The thing that I like about it is that we have a lot of girls that show a lot of potential.” With a team of nine girls, there’s only one senior, Jesse Adams. She is also the team leader and best golfer. “I’m going to lean on Jesse a lot this year,” Miller said. “She’s a good golfer. She had a good year last year.” The caveat of Adams is the fact she’s missed the majority of the summer because she has been away to the Governor’s Scholars Program. In fact, Monday was Adam’s first day of practice. “This will be my first time playing this summer,” she said. “I’m going to be rusty. I’m going to start playing every day. Now my main focus is golf again.” Adams’ strength has always been her long game, though she plans to work on her short game to possibly get her scores in the 80s come regional tournament time. “My long game is good,” Adams said. “My short game is awful. I’d like to get my score down into the 80s at region this year. We’ll just have to see if I can do that. See BUILDING, page B4

Volleyball team digs in for another run at region champ By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard
Filburn is the lone wolf of senior class By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard When teams match up against the Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team, they cringe at the sight of 6-foot2 Tiffany Filburn.
The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball program has always been a solid program. But this year, the team is making strides to become a region and even state contender. Usually the team is filled with multi-sport athletes who divide time with basketball, softball, track and other extracurricular activities. However, second year coach Jennifer Smith has a batch of athletes who are strictly volleyball players. In fact, five players — senior Tiffany Filburn, juniors Rachel Powers, Becca Clark and sophomores Bethany Roberts and Leah Cannady — play for year-round club teams. “It was really good that they got that

Gordon has high hopes despite not winning By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week Jeff Gordon’s hometown could be considered Vallejo, Calif., where he was born, or Pittsboro, Ind., where he grew up. Based on his record there, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is another place where Gordon feels right at home. He has won NASCAR’s annual visit to the Brickyard a record four times. (As an aside, Gordon has won five times at Infineon Raceway, the track closest to
his birthplace.) Gordon’s most recent Indy victory occurred in 2004. In the five races since then, though, Jimmie Johnson has won three times and Tony Stewart twice. Forty-eight races have passed since Gordon’s last victory anywhere. He won at Texas Motor Speedway on April 5, 2009. Still, a winless Gordon is better than most drivers who have won multiple races this year ... literally. See HOPES, page B3

experience,” Smith said. “They’re playing yearround instead of just playing three months here. So that’s really good.” Filburn is the team’s lone senior who is heading into her fifth year as a starter. She also plays on the prestigious club volleyball team KIVA, based out of Louisville. Last year, Filburn missed the majority of the season with a knee injury. She returned just in time for the post season, but never really acclimated into the team’s scheme. “It makes such a big difference having her back.” Smith said. “I’m not taking anything for granted. I just hope she stays healthy, not only just for this season, but also for her future in college.” Filburn said she’s 100 percent heading into the younger sister of 2009 gradseason. uate Claire Cannady, who Last year, the team had helped the team to several five seniors and four ju- district championships. niors that made up the “Leah Cannady reminds team.

She plays club volleyball with Powers and Cannady. “It feels good to set up those girls,” Clark said. “I know I’m a part of their awesome play. I like helping them get those big plays.” Other players that will help out the team are sophomore Billy Weick, junior Selena Burton, junior Rachel Johnson and sophomore Bethany Roberts. The team is also strong because the junior and sophomore classes have been together for several years. “I think we’re going to be better because the juniors have played together for so long,” said outside hitter Rachel Powers. “One of our strengths is that we work together so well.” “A lot of players have come a long way in just one year,” Smith said. “I’ve been blown away by it.” Smith herself has improved as the team’s coach. After her first year last year, she has worked out many kinks and has the program running much smoother. “Last year was just such a whirlwind,” she said “It was just a different experience, but it’s been good. I feel a lot better this year and we are going in the

We still have a lot to learn.” The Lady Waves have strung together three straight district championships. Their last loss in the district tournament was in 2006 when they lost to Grayson County, 2-0. This year after realignment, Grayson County has moved out of the district, which leaves only three teams — Meade, Breckinridge and Hancock. “You never know with Breck County and Hancock County,” Filburn said. “You never know what
they’re going to bring. Sometimes they’re really good, sometimes they’re not. We watched Breck over the summer and they looked pretty good. So, it might get competitive.” But the Lady Waves have their sights set on a region tournament championship and a state tournament bid. “This is a region team,” Smith said. “I think this team can do it. They have the ability and the mindset to do it.” Region powerhouse Apollo is the favorite, but Meade County has already

We didn’t win, but we’re going to get a lot better. “I think we’re going to sneak up on a lot of teams.

From page B1 makes it a whole lot easier to hit a green that way. You don’t have to worry about as many variables.” With the improvements Garris has made on his game — including cutting down on his frequency of three-putts — it puts him as one of the top individual players in the region according to Thompson. “Chase is one of the top three players in the region… period.” Thompson said. “I’ve played a lot with him this summer. The sky is the limit for him. If he really got after it the next two years, he can really do something, even at the college level. It depends on how much work they put into it.” Helping out Chase is junior Matt Hewlett, who played in every tournament last season for the Greenwave. “Last year, I got to play in all the tournaments and region,” Hewlett said. “Now, I know what it’s like. I know what to expect. My game is a lot more consistent this year. My scores should be lower this year.” Hewlett has been playing golf for the last five years, but only has been competing for two years. “I put a lot of work in,” Hewlett said. “I’m out here every day for hours. You just have to play your game. You can’t worry about one hole. It’s a round of golf — not just one hole.” Sophomore Chad Lancaster will help out the team after coming off a big sum-

In July, he won a junior tournament in Louisville. Junior Brian Carter and freshman Dustin McMahan will help out the team, too. “They have all improved this summer,” Thompson said. “They’re all great kids. They all enjoy the game. They are good students and they don’t get in trouble. That’s the best thing about this team.” The love of the game doesn’t fall short for McMahan who joined the team last year with only four clubs in his bag. “He loves the game more than anyone I know,” Thompson said. “He wants to know everything about the game.” With the team heading into the season with experience, Thompson is still unsure of how his team will perform. “We’ve had some kids that have gotten in these tournaments and have that experi-
ence,” he said. “Right now, it’s just a matter of controlling their emotions and nervousness. They are going to have to learn to control that if they want to get past the region tournament and into the state tournament.” The team is also shooting for a state tournament bid. “I want to go to state as a team,” Hewlett said. “We’re going to have to play good though.” To make it to state, they’ll have to compete against a tough region. Thompson feels at this point of the season it’s anyone’s title. “There’s really not that one team that jumps out. No one is playing for second this year,” he said. “Anything can happen right now. It will depend on who shows up and who is ready to play.” Typically, Elizabethtown is a powerhouse, but they graduated most of last
year’s team. Central Hardin, North Hardin, Grayson County and PRP are all region contenders. “As far as being one of the top two teams in the region, they’re going to have to prove it,” Thompson said about the Greenwave’s chances in the region. “I’m not going to believe it until I see it. They have the potential to do it.” The Greenwave will kick off their season tomorrow by hosting the Greenwave Invitational at the Doe Valley Golf Course. They expect more than 10 teams from the Louisville area and Hardin County schools. “We better do good,” Garris said. “This is where we practice. I’d be disappointed if we don’t do well.” Check next week’s issue of The News Standard for a full recap of the Greenwave Invite a team photo and a season schedule.
Getting over Lebron is like getting over a girlfriend By Mark Vasto A Sporting View I used to date a girl in college who had a bit of a reputation as a serial heartbreaker. You know the type: very pretty and great at parties, plus the pre-requisite stalker ex-boyfriend that all the really cool, newly single girls have. Even though Hollywood teaches it’s very romantic to “protect” and “fight” for your love, in practice it’s annoying. You’re trying to watch a movie and he’s outside crying in your bushes. You’re out front barbecuing (in college, you barbecue out front) and he’s circling like a vulture for the scraps of his relationship. Apparently sensing she was still on the market,
Hopes From page B1
Gordon, 38, ranks second in the Sprint Cup point standings, trailing only Kevin Harvick, and has more top-five finishes (10) than any other driver. “Our team’s been consistently running up front,” Gordon said. “We just haven’t had the car to win or all the pieces as a team to get ourselves into victory lane. “At times we’ve had the car. For whatever reasons — blame it on me, blame it on incidents, I don’t like to point fingers — but we haven’t gotten to victory lane. ... We think we’ve got some things up our sleeve for Indy, but I’m sure that’s what a lot of guys out there are thinking.” Only five drivers — Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarbrough — have ever won more races at NASCAR’s highest level than Gordon. Three more victories would put him ahead of everyone except Petty and Pearson. But it’s been “82 and holding” ever since the 2009 Texas victory. Some have speculated that the end of Gordon’s career is near. He disputes this. “Man, I do (feel old) when I get out of that race car and everything aches,” he said, “but no, I mean, I’m still enjoying the sport
one day he decided to stop by and demanded to talk to her — a counter offer, perhaps. Now, I’m all for the art of negotiation, but not on my dime, you know? So, in the middle of the street, as discreetly as I could, I aired out my objections to his request using hand signals. The next day, remorseful about the incident and sympathetic to his plight, I gave him a call. As could be imagined, he wasn’t very happy to hear from me. Still, I offered a little advice: “Hey man, she’s just a girl. You’ll find another one, you’ll get over her.” After a brief silence, he laughed. “Yeah? Well, just you wait and see. She’ll get you, too.” She got me all right, for
seven years (poor girl) until she dumped me, at which point I took over the mantle as the guy fighting off the urge to drive past her barbecues. That episode of my life came to mind as I watched the recent Lebron James saga. Cleveland represents the guys in the bushes, and Miami is throwing a stinging, in your face, South Beach barbacoa night after night. Naturally, Cleveland — and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, doing his best impersonation of a cuckolded Mel Gibson — struggled with feelings of inadequacy. What does Miami have that we don’t have (besides everything we don’t have)? We’ve got nice stuff, too! Eventually, the pity turns to anger. Cleveland sells off LeBron’s stuff,
posts humiliating pictures on the Internet and writes angry letters. “Tonight you saw who he really is!” Gilbert ranted, his way of saying that Lebron “never really loved me!” It’s like a bad version of “Urban Cowboy.” I’m waiting for Gilbert and John Travolta to order Sissy off the bull and back into the truck. Well, Cleveland, for what it’s worth, we’ve all been there. Some say it’s better to have loved and lost and all that, but I won’t. Think of it this way: The one that got away is somebody else’s problem now. Get on with your life and get out of the bushes.
very, very much. I feel like I’m way more comfortable with where I’m at in the sport today. That’s fun. I like all the years of experience that now I get to benefit from. “The only thing I’d change right now is getting some of those wins
back. It’s tough. It’s very competitive. We know we’ve got to pick up the pace.”

Filburn has been a tall mainstay of the program the last four years — which has seen three district championships, while shuffling though three different coaches in four years.

grader by myself and I’m leaving as a senior by myself,â€? she said. “It’s kind of weird how it’s worked out. It’s pretty cool.â€? The team graduated five seniors last year and of the four juniors returning only Filburn made it through the preseason. “We kind of knew it was just going to be me this season as a senior,â€? she said. “We were hoping for more, but it just didn’t happen.

TOP: The 2010 Meade County Lady Waves golf team is young but the future looks bright for the program. ABOVE: Jesse Adams is the team’s lone senior. sion on the direction of the program. “At some point we have to decide if we want to compete and get girls in here earlier,� he said. “Or do we want to just have a few girls out here to have a good time. But I don’t want that. I don’t think any coach wants that. It may take a few years to compete with (the region teams).� The Lady Waves are in one of the toughest regions of the entire state where they compete against perennial powerhouses Elizabethtown and Central Hardin. “They’re the best of the best,� Adams said about playing teams in the tough region competition. “It’s tough, but it’s good competition. You get to see what they do and how good they are.� Another way Miller has tried to build the program is by introducing several key people to help the team with their game. Abbie Heibert’s father, Craig has held a clinic for the girls and has focused on some of the skills the girls can work on.
High school math teacher Jenna Davis played college golf and had helped out the team. “It’s a collective effort,� Miller said. “I’ve tried to put a lot of people in places where they can help us. The ultimate goal is to have girls golf as a viable option to come out and do an athletic endeavor (at Meade County).� Miller is certainly taking the right steps improving the girls golf program, but it all starts with the team and he’s happy with the group of girls he has right now. “These girls have great attitude. They have great parents that want to get involved in golf. You got to have girls out here that want to be here. That will make the season pretty fun.� The Lady Waves played Spencer County last night to open their season. Results were not available before press time. Check The News Standard throughout the season for scores and results of the Lady Waves golf team.
Filburn, more commonly known as ‘T. Fil,’ does have a good group of experienced juniors to help her. “T. Fil is definitely a great leader,� said junior outside hitter Rachel Powers. “We don’t have to do too much. She really has a handle on leading us.� Last year, Filburn hurt her knee during the team’s first scrimmage of the year. She missed most of the season and never really acclimated with the team during the final weeks of the season. “Having her out last season was a big blow to us,� Smith said. Filburn said it’s healed now after taking many months of physical therapy. “I’m 100 percent,� Filburn said. “That’s my biggest fear this year. I don’t want to get hurt. I want to finish my senior season by playing every game.� As a dominant player in the region, she also plays club volleyball for KIVA — a team which takes the
best players from the Kentucky/Indiana area and travels the country to play in tournaments. So far, several schools are scouting and recruiting her. As of now she wants to go to a small school such as Kentucky Wesleyan. “I want to go to a smaller school,� Filburn said. “Nothing too big like UK or anything like that. “I want to be a teacher, so I think it’s important to go to a school that’s more hands on. I feel like I’ll get more out of it. I would love to play DI volleyball but it’s just not in it for me.� But before looking at college, Filburn looks forward to her final season as the lone senior on the Lady Waves team. “I’m kind of sad that it’s my last year,� Filburn said. “I’ve been on this team for so long. But I’m also excited to get my last year started. It’s going to be a fun year.� It may be fun for Filburn, but it won’t be fore opposing coaches and teams.

Paws Corner By Sam Mazzotta Asthmatic Cat Needs Veterinarian’s Opinion
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I was wondering what kind of medicine to give a cat that has asthma. My cat “Jack” had an asthma attack last night. Are there any home remedies I can use? — Cathy S., via e-mail
DEAR CATHY: Only your veterinarian can determine the right medicine to give to your cat. It’s very important that you take Jack to the vet for a complete checkup in the next few days. (If he seems distressed or continues to have trouble breathing, take him to vet right away.) Tell the vet the symptoms Jack had during his asthma attack — any wheezing, distress or odd behavior before the attack, and any weakness or lethargy before, during or after. If he has shown the symptoms before, describe when they occurred and the intensity. Don’t try to diagnose Jack’s problem yourself, and don’t try a home remedy until a proper diagnosis has been made. There are some very important reasons for this. First, cats can “wheeze” due to something as benign as a hairball, or as serious as an undiagnosed heart problem. Only your vet can tell. Second, the type of problem, and its extent, is a big part of determining what medicine to give the cat. Only your vet can do this. This is not to put down home remedies for pets. Many owners swear by homeopathic remedies developed to treat common pet issues like anxiety, and every cat owner knows how most cats react to catnip — an herb that can be grown on a windowsill. But most acute illnesses need professional medical diagnosis and treatment so Jack can recover quickly and return to a healthy norm. Send your pet questions and tips to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Celebrity Extra By Cindy Elavsky
Q: I just finished reading the book “One Day” by David Nicholls and absolutely loved it. Is it being made into a movie? — Darla E., via e-mail A: I loved the book as well and am happy to report that the movie adaptation is currently filming in England. Anne Hathaway stars as Emma, and Jim Sturgess is Dexter. The film will follow the story of Dex and Em, two university classmates who meet on graduation night in 1988, and fall in and out of each other’s life over the next Anne Hathaway two decades. In a clever storytelling convention, each chapter lets the reader explore the protagonists’ lives on July 15 of each year, beginning on that fateful day after graduation. Q: Dustin Hoffman has always been one of my favorite actors. What does he have coming up? — Julie F., Denver A: HBO landed the award-winning actor for its new series, “Luck,” which is about the horse racing world: the owners, jockeys and gamblers. Filming begins this fall, and the show co-stars Dennis Farina and Nick Nolte. The pilot episode will be directed by Michael Mann, of “Miami Vice,” “Heat” and “Public Enemies” fame. Q: I have a question that I have been wondering about for two years. Why was “Boston Legal” canceled? I have heard it was due to low ratings, which I have a hard time believing since so many people watched and enjoyed it. I have to wonder if some of the story lines were too controversial and ruffled some feathers? — Monnie F., via e-mail A: Writer and creator David E. Kelley told the Pittsburgh PostGazette in December 2008: “ABC didn’t want us back. We had to fight to get back on with 13 [episodes]. It’s not a product they care to market. Five years into the show, if anyone has ever seen the show at ABC, they’ve yet to bring it to my attention,” he said. David speculated the lack of promotion had to do with the fact that 20th Century Fox produced the show, not ABC itself, so ABC didn’t share in the profits. “Even though our numbers are solid, not huge, I think the conventional wisdom at ABC, and I don’t know this, but I’m guessing they continue to believe they can develop their own product and get that [rating] number, and then also share in the profits.” Q: Can you tell me if Timothy Hutton is the son of Jim Hutton of the “Ellery Queen” TV mystery series of old? — Rae S., via e-mail A: Film and television star Jim Hutton is indeed the father of “Leverage” star Timothy Hutton. Jim gained fame on projects such as “The Green Berets,” “Hellfighters,” “Walk, Don’t Run” and “Bachelor in Paradise.” In 1975, Jim landed the role he is perhaps bestknown for, that of the titular character in “Ellery Queen.” He passed away of liver cancer in 1979 at the age of 45.

Last Week’s Solutions
•If you’re a sailor you’re probably familiar with the hazards of being out on the water: high seas, storms, hidden reefs. You probably wouldn’t count whales among the dangers, but you’d be wrong. It seems that on a recent day sail out of Table Bay Harbor in South Africa, a couple on a 30-foot sailboat were whale-watching when one got too close for comfort. A 40-ton whale they had been viewing breached right next to the boat and landed on the deck, breaking off the mast and then thrashing around before sliding back into the water. The whale lost some skin and blubber, but was otherwise unharmed; the couple were lucky to still have a seaworthy craft and made it safely back to the harbor. •Statistics show that the average 5-year-old boy today weighs about 10 percent more and the average 5-year-old girl about 8 percent more than children of the same age in the 1980s. •Those who study such things say that the word “daisy” started out as “day’s eye” and was shortened over the years. Similarly, “God be with you” became “goodbye” and “whole be thou” became “hello.” •Thought for the Day: “To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all.” -- Peter McWilliams (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A previous misunderstanding continues to taint the atmosphere to some extent in the early part of the week. But cooler heads prevail, and the situation eases by week’s end. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) While the artistic aspect of the Divine Bovine is well-served this week, that practical side is also getting the sort of recognition that could lead to a new and welldeserved opportunity. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With home-related matters taking on more importance this week, now could be the time to make some long-deferred purchases. But shop carefully for the best quality at the best price. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulations. While that family problem might still rankle, it should be easing thanks to your efforts to calm the waters. Also, a workplace situation seems to be moving in your favor. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat’s energy levels should be rather high these days, and you might do well to tackle any tasks that still need doing. This will clear the way for those upcoming projects. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone’s criticism might not be as negative as you perceive. Actually, it could be helpful. Discuss the matter with your critic, and you both could learn something valuable. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business matter could cause some friction among your colleagues. But once again, that logical mind of yours comes to the rescue. And the sooner it does, the better! SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There might still be some heated temper flare-ups out there. But your sensible self should advise you to stay out of these situations until things cool down and calm is restored. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Changing your mind could be the right thing to do if you can’t resolve your doubts. You might want to discuss the matter with someone whose advice you trust. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Sea Goat’s merrier side dominates this week, and this means that, despite your usual busy schedule, you’ll be able to squeeze in parties and all sorts of fabulous fun times. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An educational opportunity could lead to something other than what you had planned. But keep an open mind, and before you decide to turn it down, check it out. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Piscean wit and wisdom helps you work through a situation that might have been accidentally or even deliberately obscured. What you unravel could prove to be very revealing. BORN THIS WEEK: Loyalty is important to you. You demand it, but you also give it generously and lovingly. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Ky. headquarters doubles as an outdoor destination Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — It’s more like a park or recreational area than an office complex. The headquarters of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is a 262-acre campus just west of Frankfort. A walking tour is the best way to explore the grounds. There’s plenty of green space to relax and enjoy nature. Trees canopy most of the roadway that encircles two fishing lakes. There are wildflower gardens, two woodland hiking trails, and a nature interpretive center with indoor and outdoor exhibits. Just inside the entranceway you’ll notice two greenhouses on the right, home to the department’s native plant program. “We raise 130 native perennials from seed,” said Mary Carol Cooper, horticulturalist for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife, “mostly wildflowers with a few trees and shrubs.” The plants are sold to the public for $5 or $6 each. This year’s native plant sale is Aug. 28, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Across the road from the greenhouses are some mowed paths through an old field — tall weeds, trees and shrubs, an ideal place to observe rabbits or songbirds. There are also mowed paths between the Wildlife Annex and Fisheries Annex buildings in an area planted in summerblooming wildflowers. The headquarters property dates back to the mid-1940s. The original tract was 132 acres, bought for $12,575 as a game farm to propagate quail and also experiment with trees and shrubs for wildlife habitat. Today, there are more than 10 office buildings on this property. In recent years, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife acquired an additional 130 acres. The headquarters have become a tourism destination, popular with school groups touring the Salato Wildlife Education Center and fami-
lies holding reunions or cookouts amid the shade trees and picnic shelters. For adventuresome singles and couples there’s the Pea Ridge Loop Trail for hiking and wildlife watching. Anglers of all ages appreciate the good fishing in the wellstocked lakes. The entrance roadway is called Sportsman’s Lane. Game Farm Road forks off Sportsman’s Lane encircling the Upper and Lower Lake. The one-mile loop is popular with walkers and joggers. The 7-acre Upper Lake and 3-acre Lower Lake are open year-round to public fishing with plenty of room to fish from the banks or on the spacious fishing pier. No boats are allowed. “As part of the Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINS) program, the lakes are stocked two to three times a year with rainbow trout, and a minimum of four times a year with channel catfish,” said Gerry Buynak, assistant director of fisheries for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “The stocking size on the channel catfish is 12- to 16inches.” Surplus fish from the department’s two hatcheries are also occasionally stocked. “This year it was bluegills, and some 10- to 15-pound brood catfish,” Buynak said. The Salato Wildlife Education Center, which opened on Oct. 1, 1995, is named in honor of the late Dr. James C. Salato, an avid angler and waterfowl hunter. Dr. Salato represented the 4th Commission District on the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission for an unprecedented 28 years. The Salato Wildlife Education Center showcases Kentucky’s diverse regional ecosystems and wealth of fish and wildlife resources. Inside, get a close-up look at live fish, turtles Kentucky’s venomous snakes – the copperhead, rattlesnake and cottonmouth – and learn about restored wildlife species. Outside, walk on paved,
wheelchair accessible paths through native plant gardens to see bison, bear, deer, wild turkey and elk. Visitors can sign up for special workshops and interpretive programs. Log on to the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife homepage at fw.ky.gov, click on the “Salato Wildlife Center” tab, then click on “Calendar of Events” for upcoming workshops and programs. The Salato Wildlife Education Center is open Tuesday through Saturday, and closed on Sundays and Mondays. The operating hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. The Salato Wildlife Education Center closes from mid-December through mid-February for winter. There are two hiking trails on the Fish and Wildlife Headquarters property. Click on the “Salato Wildlife Center” tab on Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s homepage at fw.ky. gov for a printable map of the hiking trails. The HabiTrek is a .71mile nature trail through the woods and fields behind the Dragonfly Marsh. The footpath wanders past a sinkhole, rocky karst outcrops, and a variety of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers. If you start early in the day, you may even spot some deer and wild turkey. A 3-acre field along the way has been converted from fescue to native prairie grasses and wildflowers to provide better habitat and attract more wildlife for viewing. The trail is rated “easy.” The Pea Ridge Loop Trail is a three-mile “moderately strenuous” trail that branches off the HabiTrek Trail that takes about two hours to traverse. “The trail passes through an old farmstead,” said Kristy Stroud, a conservation educator for the Salato Wildlife Education Center. “Along the way you see the succession of old fields reverting to forest, where the cedars are dying out and hardwoods are taking over.”
M1 Garand clinic held on Fort Knox Submitted by Meade County Sportsman’s Club The Kentucky State Rifle and Pistol Association and the Meade County Sportsman’s Club in conjunction with the Ft. Knox Warrior Transition Battalion will host the “Warriors in Transition M1 Garand Clinic.” This event will be held at the Scott Mountain Range at Ft. Knox on Saturday August 21. With a capacity of up to 50 soldiers, this clinic will instruct the soldiers on the techniques and skills required to shoot what has been referred to as the “greatest battle implement in the world,” the M1 Garand. This event, while offering serious marksmanship training, is set up to be an enjoyable activity as well. A mission statement from Major John C. Davis, S2 of the Warriors Transition battalion stated: “Elevating the abilities of wounded, ill, and injured Warriors through marksmanship training and competition as an important component of recovery and an integral part of being a Soldier while building camaraderie, confidence and raising awareness for adaptive sports.” Staffed with volunteers from Kentucky area High Power Target shooting competitors, all live fire training will be coached by civilians whom are Civilian Marksmanship Program Certified M1 Garand Instructors or Army Marksmanship Unit
Squad Designated Marksman Instructors. M1 Rifles and ammunition will furnished by the Kentucky State Rifle & Pistol Association and all targets and supplies will be provided by the Meade County Sportsman’s Club. The clinic will conclude with an actual match with the awards being given and official certificates from the CMP for clinic participation. Also, these Soldiers will be
given information on how to purchase their own M1 Garand directly from the CMP. For further information contact Mark Mann, organizer at 502-550-4755 or email at mmann101@hotmail.com Lunch is being served to all participants and volunteers on the range.

Camp prepares students’ transition for new school year By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard The shift from elementary to middle school will seem effortless for some incoming seventh graders. Stuart Pepper Middle School held its seventh grade transition camp last Wednesday. The gathering was intended to help those teenagers prepare for aspects of their new school. “We want our children to feel safe and we want their parents to feel that way, too,” said Debbie Canavera, youth services coordinator at SPMS. The focus of the free camp was “putting your best foot forward,” Canavera said. The event had 110 participants and 22 eighth grade leaders. Towards the end of the day, students got a goody bag full of items that correlated with the theme of the camp. Each child got a tour of the school, was assigned their lockers and learned

District 4-Hers shine at state horse show Carole Goodwin 4-H & Youth Development
4-H’ers arrive with pickups, trailers and horses in a rainbow of colors, model years and states of repair. Some are competing with hand-me-down saddles and tack that is prized for utility rather than looks while others are from one-acre haciendas whose parents want their kids to have the same chances they had growing up in the country. Regardless of their background one thing is for sure their goal is to make top ten with a chance to come out with the silver belt buckle that goes to the first place exhibitor. I am proud to announce that District 5 (Lincoln Trail and Lake Cumberland Area) 4-H’ers did an outstanding job at this year’s event. There were 104 youth exhibitors showing in the following divisions: (53) Contest; (20) in Walking/ Racking, (6) Mini; (16) in Westerns Judged and (9) in Hunter. Each contestant was allowed to exhibit in (4) classes within their respective age division. Of the 212 possible entries we had the following make the top ten: (35) in Contest; (42) in Walking/ Racking; (15) in Mini; (26) in Western Judged and (8) in Hunter. In addition, we had (1) Division I High Point in Contest; (1) Division III Reserve High Point in Walking; (1) Division I High Point & (1) Reserve High Point in Racking and (1) Division I High Point in Western Judged.
Meade County 4-H Horse Club members who attended the State Competition were: Kristin Peters, Amanda Scott, Brandon Scott, MeKenzee Dawson, Mikaela Humphrey, Hannah Lee, Justin Ray, Brittany Sego, Johnny Lee, Kaleb Ray, Bradee Addison, Jaycee Serrano and Dani LaTondress.

Melissa Phillips, health educator from the health department, led the peer pressure workshop. During her group sessions, Phillips focused on trying to break down social barriers. “In elementary school, everybody had to play together,” Phillips said. “In middle school, it is based off common interests. People divide themselves in their teen years.” This is the fifth year Phillips has facilitated with the camp and she said she hopes to leave an impact on the students. “(My goal) is that they recognize what peer pressure is,” she said. “A lot of times they don’t realize someone is manipulating them.”

For students at the Meade County Public Library, the end of summer was not dull. It was a time of celebration, while getting a bit wet. MCPL held its Summer Reading Blowout Party last Friday at Riverfront Park. The extravaganza featured a blow-up water tunnel that led to a pool, a blow up bounce house, a water machine, snow cones, cornhole and chances to win some prizes. The party marks the end of the “Make a Splash at Your Library Summer Reading Program.” “We had over 103,000 minutes read by over 325
participants in the program,” said Megan Stith, head of programming and children’s services. According to Stith, this is the first year the library has recorded times that children read over the summer. Stith got involved with the festivities by volunteering for the dunking booth. Each student had the opportunity to throw a baseball and try to dunk her. Awards were given out to the students who read the most over the summer. “It’s really great to see everyone come out and have fun before school starts,” Stith said.
