Rachel Scott was described as a girl who always brighten up a room, no matter what the circumstance was. She had so much faith and compassion and some how knew at 13 years old she would make a difference in this world.

“Her middle name was Joy for a reason,” said Rachel’s uncle Larry Scott. “She liter-ally lit up a room.”

Larry Scott spoke at Stuart Pep-per Middle School last Friday and challenged the students to do what

Rachel set out to do — create a dif-ference in the world.

But sadly, her life was cut short on April 20, 1999, as she was one of the fi rst people killed at the

Columbine High School shooting. The shooters, Eric Harris and Dy-lan Klebold, killed other 12 classmates and one teacher — before taking their own lives.

Despite Rachel’s untimely death was cut short,

her family kept her light shining. That light was ignited after her

At fi rst glance, it seems that Gary Nelson Barger, was born to show hogs. Literally.

After being introduced to the world of hog showing three years ago by his older cousin, Brian Butler, the 12-year-old’s pig showing supremacy was

spotlighted in a less than clan-destine manner when he won Supreme Grand Champion Market Hog at the 2010 Ken-tucky State Fair last Thursday.

And it has been said that Barger, the son of Gary and Shirley Barger of Brandenburg, was destined to be a hog show-er since birth.

“He (Brian) wanted me to

show ever since I was born,” Barger said. “We raised a pig for me to show and I loved it the minute I started and it just pro-ceeded from there.”

Barger’s love for showing hogs snowballed into a show-case of his hard work and natu-ral talent that culminated with the showing of his gilt, Fancy.

Butler took note of Barger’s

natural abilities that would thrust him into hog showing greatness.

“Gary Nelson just had an interest in pigs from the start,” Butler said. “He’s a kid that is very competitive and has worked hard from the start. Last Thursday, everything just

Meade County is reaping the benefi ts of $151 million in funding from BRAC re-gional growth projects, it was announced last week.

“With the phenomenal onset of the growth and transition brought about by BRAC at Fort Knox, this re-gion of the Commonwealth is growing by leaps and bounds,” Gov. Steve Beshear

said in a press release. “Our military is one of our great-est partners and today we would like to show our commitment to seeing this region through its growing pains. The $151 million in transportation and infra-structure improvements will go a long way toward building roads, water and wastewater projects to help sustain the many workers, families and residents who are using these resources

every day.”The money will fund 15

infrastructure projects in the Fort Knox region — three of which are in Meade County.

“This is a major, major deal for this part of the state. This is a big plus for Meade County,” Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said.

Infrastructure projects funded by the money in-clude a water treatment

plant upgrade and an el-evated water tank for the City of Brandenburg, which were included in the 11 wa-ter and wastewater projects in the region totaling $38.4 million.

“That’s very important, because once they do this, they can provide the county with more water and what that means is we won’t have to buy water from Hardin

“It was the little things she did

everyday that have affected people...”

A lack of laws preventing the capture of feral and tame cats has prompted Mul-draugh offi cials to take matters into their own hands.

The city recently purchased live traps to capture cats which, unlike dogs, are allowed to roam free due to current county laws.

Muldraugh Mayor Danny Tate speaks with Gov. Beshear. Muldraugh received funding for the wastewater project.

County anymore. The ben-efits of that are number one, we will be keeping everything at home and number two, it’s going to be cheaper.”

A major wastewater treatment construction project currently under-way in Muldraugh will also be funded by the BRAC money, Craycroft added.

“Muldraugh got a wastewater grant — a pretty sizeable figure — to care of what they are needing there,” he said. “This should be able to help Muldraugh with their problem.”

The subsidies will also fund the completion of sections one through three of the KY 313 extension project.

The highway extension project is one of four in the region which were made priority by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s six-year-road-plan.

“The transportation grant means that the first three phases of the 313 project are funded,” Cray-croft said. “In the next few years, 313 should be all the way up to Highway 60. It’s been 22 years in the mak-ing, but we’re finally going to have 313. The future of

Meade County’s growth is going to hinge on 313.”

Transportation construc-tion project funding in the region from the award to-taled $112.4 million.

Another benefit of the funding is economic stim-ulus and development, ac-cording to Craycroft.

“Look what 64 did for Corydon,” Craycroft said.

“It was a sleepy little town and now look at it. And that’s what 313 can do for us. The infrastruc-ture is getting in place for when the economy opens up. With a cornfield, that was never going to hap-pen. But now, we have the infrastructure, so there is a possibility of that happening.”

The sounds of battle roared above them once more, but it was different this time.

Those sounds were in salute of their service and they were often drowned out by cheers from an appreciative crowd.

That was part of the scene Thursday as Fort Knox ushered in the first of four days designed to show long overdue appreciation to those who served in the Vietnam War.

The event was part of “Thank You From The Heartland: A Salute to Viet-nam Veterans” and included all the military honors nor-mally accorded heroes.

Fort Knox officials say the event exceeded all expectations.

One of the great surprises was the number of veterans who made their way to Fort Knox for the ceremony.

Officials had 10 buses wait-ing to carry the vets in VIP style from the Patton Muse-um to Brooks Parade Field.

However, once those bus-es emptied at the site, five had to be returned to pick up the remainder.

Estimates placed the num-ber of Vietnam veterans par-ticipating in the morning’s ceremonies at more than 1,000 and more than 2,500 watched and cheered as the honors were presented.

After the veterans left their buses, they lined up and marched to the field sur-rounded by members of the Fort Knox JROTC and troops now serving at the post.

Hundreds of spectators rushed up along the sides as well adding to cheers, color-ful signs, and applause.

The veterans lined up in a row easily stretching the length of a football field as three Vietnam-era helicop-ters circled overhead before landing behind the veter-ans’ seating area.

“Welcome home!” ex-claimed LTG Benjamin Freakley, commanding gen-eral, U.S. Army Accessions Command and Fort Knox.

Freakley noted there were still more than 2,000 miss-ing in action and asked the crowd to join in a moment of silence in remembrance of those soldiers.

He noted that Hollywood had portrayed the soldiers of Vietnam as unwilling draftees who did not want to serve.

“The reality is that two-thirds of the 2.6-million who served in Vietnam were vol-unteers,” Freakley said.

One of the largest cheers

came when Freakley quoted from a column written by Virginia Sen. James Webb, who is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War.

“College protestors were spoiled brats who would have benefited from having to work a few jobs in order to pay their tuition. Vietnam represented a battlefield that was just as brutal and just as tough and demanded the same valor and courage their fathers faced in World War II and Korea,” the quote read.

Freakley said it was be-cause of these veterans’ service the modern mili-tary has become the best in the world.

“Today’s military stands on the shoulders of giants — your shoulders,” Freakley continued. “Today you’re home, you’re home.”

Emotions ran high through-out the ceremony and at this point in his speech, even Freakley had to stop for a brief moment.

A lone Army shout of “Hoo-hah” broke the silence.

The crowd cheered and Freakley responded saying, “I needed that moment, thanks.”

He went on to note how even though they were orig-inally welcomed with sup-port, Vietnam veterans con-tinually offer volunteerism for their comrades in arms.

“When you didn’t receive the support, you didn’t bury your head. You came home with pride and you stand beside our fallen and their families and remem-ber. Thank you,” Freakley.

“You serve and continue to serve.”

“You were never defeated on any battlefield in Viet-nam, Laos or Cambodia. You know you served a worthy cause. We are grate-ful for your service. We are humbled to be with you to-day. We are proud to serve in the army you built,” Freakley said in concluding his remarks.

After the ceremony, many of the veterans mingled around the three helicop-ters. Many posed sitting in them with friends or grandchildren.

Walking through the crowd, it was impossible not to move from one story being told to another.

The veterans were treated to a lunch and many went to view the Vietnam Traveling Wall, where some could be seen with a list in their hand searching for the location of a familiar name.

Freakley told The News Standard after the ceremo-ny, “Thursday’s ‘Welcome Home Ceremony’ here at Fort Knox was a great start to the community-wide rec-ognition of our veterans. We were proud and humbled to meet so many of the region’s veterans who served so self-lessly in Vietnam.

“Our nation owes a great debt of gratitude to our Sol-diers, Sailors, Airmen, Ma-rines and Coast Guard for their service over 35 years ago. We were honored to have the Fort Knox family reach out and connect with our Vietnam veterans.”

Kentucky Press Association 2009 General Excellence Award

There was a time when members of Congress actually talked to each other.

Without regard to party affi liation, they would travel, eat and socialize together.

Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Democrat, recently spoke at the funeral of former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, a Republican.

He recalled how the two of them found much common ground and became fast and good friends.

They would visit at each other’s homes, their children became friends, and most amazing of all they actually would campaign for each other.

There are other such stories throughout political lore and it proves how much our politics have degraded into one, giant yell fest that has given little, no, or bad results.

Times were when Congressional members didn’t take the fi rst VIP jet home. They actually got in cars and drove the hundreds of miles together.

The late Rep. Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois was at one time the most powerful Democrat on Capitol Hill.

He was chairman of the House Ways and Means Com-mittee which wielded power and money when budget time came.

The Republican leader at the time was former Rep. Rob-ert Michael, who hailed from Illinois as did “Rosty.”

When they would go home during recess, they hopped in a car and drove the nearly 1,000 miles together.

Along the way, they discussed their families, good fi shing spots, life in general, and by the time they would return to Washington there may have still been some dis-agreements, but they found ways to compromise and work together.

Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, when needing some help on the Hill, would call Republican Senate Mi-nority Leader Everett Dirksen over to the White House.

Over a few glasses of scotch or bourbon, the two would have an informal chat and by the time it was concluded, the two had fi gured out a way they could both get done what they wanted.

There was no refusal to even talk with the other side of the aisle.

These were people who became good friends and al-though they may have served on the philosophical oppo-site side of the aisle, they realized that to get things done, they didn’t have to hate or personally attack each other.

And, that atmosphere seemed to be much more con-structive than what is being produced these days.

The country is now less than two months from Election Day.It is an overused thought that “This election is the most

important of your lifetime.”But, in this case it may come as close as ever.It’s time for the voters to fi nd the right people and not

necessarily the right party to serve in offi ce.There is an urgent need for a Congress who has sides

that don’t just want to ram things through or be negative toward any idea.

There is no one person or party who has the copyright on the solutions to the major problems the county faces.

Both parties seem to have gone further to the extremes as they fi ght one another.

And, the further they go, the louder and more crass they get.

The cable network pundits certainly don’t help any.Agree or disagree, these are people who are in the busi-

ness of ratings and the louder they get, the more attention they get.

It’s a free market country and if people want to watch, that’s their right.

Those programs do provide some interesting discus-sions and provoke questions and thoughts that can be productive.

It’s just, as with the politicians, it’s time to tone it down.

Fighting, yelling, and blaming the other side is not go-ing to solve any problems.

Just as a medical operation requires the skills of several different physicians, so it is with politics.

The need is great for people in offi ce to have the skills of constructive debate, common sense, a moral compass, and a large dose of reality.

There will be no easy, comfortable or fast solutions to the problems America faces.

Because of that, voters should also practice those same skills.

Before reaching the polling booth this year, there needs to be a serious study of the candidates, their beliefs, their philosophy, and their character.

That homework should not come from just cable com-mentators or political advertising.

Voters, who should take this responsibility seriously, must check out the facts and be as studied as the candi-dates should be themselves.

There have been a lot of empty promises about chang-ing the tone in Washington.

There needs to be a changing of the tone altogether.Hopefully, the next election will see the choice of men

and women who will do just that.Politics is the art of compromise. No candidate can

promise everything they want will happen. There will be no candidate upon who the voter will be able to agree on totally.

But, there must be some good, decent people who can do the jobs without rancor or bitterness.

The fighting and fussing has to stop or nothing will change.

Abraham Lincoln could have well been speaking of our times when he said, “A house divided against itself will not stand.”

That cautionary statement still holds true.

When life gives you lemons, move on

Obama remains an unknown fi gure to many

JenniferCorbett

Corbett’sCorner

There was a time when Barack Obama disavowed his middle name, Hussein. During the 2008 campaign, Obama’s aides bristled even at references to him by his initials BHO, so sensitive were they to the offending “H.”

Then, after he won the elec-tion, he proudly brandished his middle name as evidence of his connection to the Mus-lim world and of America’s tolerant embrace of people with even the most exotic backgrounds. With new polls showing 18 percent (in a Pew Research poll) or 24 percent (in a Time magazine survey) believing Obama is a Muslim, the name Hussein is surely headed back to a secure, un-disclosed location.

That a sliver of Americans

believe Obama is a Muslim is not shocking in the context of other bizarre and stupid things they tell pollsters. In a rebuke to geography teachers every-where, 10 percent of people ei-ther don’t think Hawaii is part of the United States or aren’t sure. Twenty percent believe aliens have contacted us here on Earth. And 11 percent have confi dence in the United States Congress.

But the numbers tell us something important about President Obama: We don’t know him. The most power-ful and famous man in the country is still the mysteri-ous stranger. He rose from nowhere, winning an election based partly on being an un-known quantity, and an un-known quantity he remains.

He was the blank canvas upon which people could paint their visions of grandeur. One moment Obama was the loyal parishioner of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who con-

verted him to Christianity and was the fount of preacherly wisdom from whom Obama ripped off his most famous rhetorical riff, “the audacity of hope.” The next, he’d hardly heard of the good reverend.

An element of the Obama-is-a-Muslim opinion is perfer-vid critics wanting to believe the worst of him, but not all. According to Pew, the num-ber of Americans who identify him as Christian has declined from 51 percent in October 2008 to just 34 percent. The more we see of him, the less we know of him. Only 46 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of blacks think Obama is a Christian. His faith simply hasn’t made an impression on the public.

Compared with his prede-cessors, Obama is as trans-parent as a billiard ball. You knew George W. Bush was an unapologetically pro-business, freedom-spreadin’ Texas evangelical. You knew

Bill Clinton was a fl awed but brilliant Southern operator, part of whose charm was the ability to lie with impressive fl uidity. Who is Obama?

He’s a man constantly trav-eling under a cloak of ideologi-cal falsity, since he can’t speak frankly of his big-government ambitions. He’s emotionally remote. And he’s the product of life experiences alien even to his most natural support-ers. In the heat of the contro-versy over her fi ring from the Agriculture Department, civil-rights activist Shirley Sherrod pointedly noted that Obama “is not someone who has ex-perienced what I have experi-enced through life.”

He’s the cipher in chief, over-exposed but underperforming, as detached as a law-school lec-turer. President Obama is assur-edly not a Muslim. For many of his countrymen, though, he remains a question mark.

Rich Lowry is editor of the Na-tional Review.

Now, I don’t mean to be Debbie Downer, but the real world isn’t all puppies and rainbows.

I, personally, am starting to fi gure this out. At 23 years old, I’m a mere baby to some people who have been in the workforce for quite some time. I still have a lot to learn and changing my outlook is one of them.

I consider myself to be an optimistic person, who tries to see the good in everyone and everything. I never re-alized it, until now, that I tend to sugarcoat ideas and stories. I think everything is great, life is great and nothing can go wrong. But I haven’t gotten down to the real nitty gritty.

I’ve been twirling along the outskirts of life, thinking that everything is hunkey dorey.

As much as I hate to ad-mit it, the world isn’t this great, magnifi cent thing I concocted in college.

I’ve learned that not ev-erything is black and white. There are some gray areas in life that I’ve never learned about before. The world works in mysterious ways, and I guess, my attitude ad-justment is one of them.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it is good to think positive, but be realistic. To be honest, after living on

my own for quiet some time now I’ve realized that parts of the real world stinks. It isn’t this happy, lovable place that I imagined in col-lege.

In the real world, if you don’t pay your bills things get turned off, not every-body makes millions of dol-lars, drive the nicest of cars or live in giant mansions.

Entering the adult work-force has taken some time getting used to and differ-entiate from living on your own in college. They are two completely diverse worlds. In college, I had a reason to be optimistic — that was a time in my life where I could have fun. College didn’t show me that the real world is hard since it seemed like so many of my classmates were awarded prestigious careers on a silver platter af-ter they graduated.

My parents taught me that if I work hard it would pay off in the end. But some-times, that road isn’t easy and it comes with some bumps in the road.

I’ve learned this after a few months transitioning into adulthood. When I fi rst entered the workforce, I was always smiling and had a cheerful aspect to me, al-most like a giddy cheerlead-er. I would view my assign-ments a little too positively with a big grin from ear to ear thinking “OMG! Yay! This is awesome!”

You get my point.But after a quick dose of

reality, I realized being too positive is not my job. In

college, I was taught to get out there and question ev-erything, even the minor de-tails. I guess my excitement of having a real job made me lose focus of what I’m supposed to do. I’ve learned that being a journalist en-tails viewing situations with a clear mind and not having an opinion about it. As jour-nalists, we’re supposed to showcase both sides. Not the “Yay! Everything is great!” aspect; because truth be told sometimes those smiles are all smoke and mirrors.

I’ve realized I need to view each assignment differently, since every situation is not the same. Some stories de-serve praise, while some need to be investigated.

I’ve also learned to apply that to my personal life. I’ve over-analyzed every minor detail about my life, to the point where it would drive me insane, including my boyfriend. I would try too hard to say the right things, wear the right outfi t and put on the persona of being perfect, but that’s not reality either.

It wasn’t until I talked with a good friend of mine that I realized that it’s OK to say “screw it” every once and a while.

Sometimes things just don’t work out my way, and as much as I don’t like it, it’s a part of life.

I do have to admit, my atti-tude changed a bit after cov-ering Rachel’s Challenge at Stuart Pepper Middle School last Friday. The assembly was about Rachel Scott who

was killed on April 20, 1999, during Colorado’s Colum-bine High School massacre. As her uncle, Larry Scott, told Rachel’s story, it stuck with me. Rachel was such a beam of energy that always lit up a room. What struck me most was when they showed how Rachel drew an outline of her hands on the back of her dresser and said “These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of peoples hearts.” Through her actions, Rachel reached out to all students who tend to get made fun of the most.

Even after her untimely death, her positive legacy still lives on through “Ra-chel’s Challenge.”

I’ve never met Rachel, but after listening to her story, I felt like, if she were still alive, I could tell her any-thing. Through all the nega-tivity in the world, she still saw the best in everyone and reached out to those who felt left out.

Through my experience, I’ve learned that a positive outlook can’t be taught in a classroom, by your parents and through your peers. People create their view on the world through experi-ence and learning from their mistakes.

But through all of that, it’s vital to keep your head up, but also be realistic at the same time.

It’s essential to realize when life just isn’t working out in your favor and to just say “screw it” and move on to the next big thing.

family found an essay Rachel had written just a few weeks before her death. Her es-say dubbed “My Ethics. My Codes of Life,” challenged its readers to start a chain reac-tion of kindness and that’s ex-actly what her organization, Rachel’s Challenge, is setting out to do.

Rachel’s Challenge encour-ages people around the coun-try to do random acts of kind-ness and reach out to those who tend to be forgotten.

“It was the little things she did everyday that have affect-ed people,” Larry said. “If she were here right now, I think she would say ‘My dreams came true.’”

During his speech, Larry played powerful videos and audio footage from the fateful day over 10 years ago. Even though so much time has passed, it still sent chills down the spines of everyone and left some in tears.

Larry showcased Rachel’s core goals by speaking about five main rules that would help make SPMS a better place.

First off, Larry said to “look for the best in others and elim-inate prejudice.”

To correlate his point, Larry spoke about how Rachel had many influences in her life and the main one was Anne Frank. Harris and Klebold’s idol was Adolf Hitler.

“Anne Frank was her idol,” Larry said. “Both Anne Frank and Rachel Scott died from the influences of Hitler. Even though they both died young, they both believed in writing down their dreams.”

Larry challenged the students to write down their dreams and said that a dream is only a wish un-less it’s in writing.

One such example of Ra-chel writing down her dreams happened when she was 13 years old. She drew an outline of both of her hands on the back of her dresser and wrote, “These hands belong to Ra-chel Joy Scott and will some-day touch millions of peoples’ hearts.”

Larry noted that Rachel didn’t put ‘maybe’ when she wrote that down, she said she is going to make a difference.

That was a lead-in to Lar-ry’s second goal for the stu-dents, which was “dare to dream, write goals and keep a journal.”

“In the next 30 days, I want to challenge you to keep a journal,” Larry said during the assembly. “Rachel had her diary with her the day she died. A bullet hole lay beneath where she wrote ‘I won’t be labeled.’”

The third goal for the stu-dents was to “choose positive influences.”

“What you feed on causes you to be the person you will become over time,” Larry said. “Eric and Dylan chose a dark world. Hitler was their hero. What are you choosing students? If you choose posi-tive influences for your life, most likely you will be a posi-tive person.”

According to Larry, Rachel showed her positivity by reaching out to three different groups of people: disabled, new students and people who are picked on or put down.

For example, a student named Amber Jackson was new at Columbine High School. No one welcomed her. But when Rachel saw her sitting alone eating lunch, she brought her friends over to eat lunch with Amber.

Another example was about a student named Adam, who was disabled and brutally picked on. One day some boys were pushing Adam around and to stop it,

Rachel jumped in the middle, clinched her fists and said, “if you touch him again, you will have to go through me.”

Without realizing it, Rachel saved Adam’s life as he was preparing to commit suicide the next week, Larry said.

The fourth guideline was to “use kindness, little acts of kindness can have huge results.”

“That is how we need to live our lives,” Larry said. “Rachel said ‘People don’t realize how far a little kind-ness can go.’”

An interesting part of the assembly came when Larry spoke about Frank, a busi-nessman from Cincinnati, who called Rachel’s dad Dar-rell six weeks after her death. Frank spoke about how he kept dreaming of Rachel’s eyes — they were crying and the tears created life. At first, Darrell didn’t think anything of it. Until the sheriff’s de-partment returned Rachel’s backpack seven days later. Darrell found Rachel’s di-ary and her last entry was two eyes that were crying, 13 tears to be exact, they turned into blood drops that led into a blossoming flower.

The fifth and final chal-lenge of the assembly was to “start a chain reaction” by signing the Rachel’s Chal-lenge banner and promising to be a better person.

“I hope all of you will leave here a different per-son,” Larry said during the event. “You all will be nice. If you all do this, Stu-art Pepper Middle School will be the safest school and it will make you a better person.”

“No doubt, we’ll have 820 people sign this banner and not let her dream die,” said Chad Butler, principal of SPMS. “If we sign our name on it, we will mean it. I ex-pect to see it in the hallways. We need to start right now.”

For Larry Powell, Brandenburg is a new and exciting place full of people he could reach out to and affect positively.

Powell, along with his wife, Joy, and son, Kevin, recently moved from Panama City, Fla., to Brandenburg after Powell was dubbed the new pastor at Glad Tidings Christian Center.

From the get go, Powell said he has felt welcomed.“I’ve felt like we’ve had a good connection,” he said. “We’re

very excited about being here.”Powell was installed as the new pastor at Glad Tid-

ings Sunday. Powell and his wife both read and accept-ed their new job duties.

“I acknowledge the divine commission given to me,” Powell said during the sermon. “I accept the position of senior pastor.”

Glad Tidings Christian Center has been through a lot this year, so Powell is looking at his new job as a fresh start for the church.

“We’re going to try to reach out to everyone,” he said. “We’ll try to spread the word and a lot of it is through the excitement of people.”

One way the church plans to do that is by holding a homecoming service in September to reach out to for-mer members or prospective members. Powell plans on doing his part by preaching a positive ministry and be-ing a friend to those in need.

“I’m looking forward to moving forward,” Powell said.For now, Powell and his family are enjoying the warm

reception they have felt from the community.“It’s really nice to get back to a hometown atmo-

sphere,” he said.

Kids tire easily as they progress through puberty

2 Timothy 4: 21 - 22 says, “Do thy diligence to come be-fore winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” (KJV)

These are the fi nal words of the apostle Paul, written shortly before he was behead-ed. Despite his faithfulness and fruitfulness in the Lord’s service, he was now penni-less, lonely, and cold.

Yet he was not complaining. “I am now ready to be offered. I have fought a good fi ght, I have fi nished my course, I have kept the faith.”

He did yearn to see Timo-

thy, his beloved son in the faith, before he died. “Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me.” (v. 9) “Without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be fi lled with joy.“ (1: 3 - 4)

Paul made one especially touching request of Timothy, “The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.“

Paul didn’t even have a coat in the cold prison, and winter was approaching. yet, even under such miserable circumstances, he still desired to keep reading and studying, preparing himself better for any future service the Lord might still have for him.

With a contrast there would be between his present cir-cumstances abused by his

enemies and forsaken even by most of his friends and the glorious reception await-ing him in the near future. “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteous-ness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.“ (v. 8)

Paul has left us a worthy example he had kept the faith, had gladly suffered the loss of all things for Christ (Phil. 3: 8), and was still studying, witnessing, teaching, encouraging, and exhorting, even to the day of his death.

If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morn-ing service starts at 11 a.m.

We invite you to listen to our weekly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m.

Divine Guidance

QUESTION: My 13-year-old daughter has become increasingly lazy the past couple of years. She lies around the house and will sleep half a day on Satur-day. She complains about being tired a lot. Is this typ-ical of early adolescence? How should I deal with it?

DR. DOBSON: It is not uncommon for boys and girls to experience fa-tigue during the years ofpuberty.

Their physical resources are being invested in a rap-id growth process during that time, leaving less en-ergy for other activities.

This period doesn’t last very long and is usually followed by the most ener-

getic time of life. I would suggest, fi rst, that

you schedule your daugh-ter for a routine physical examination to rule out the possibility of a more serious explanation for her fatigue. If it does turn out to be a phenomenon of puberty, as I suspect, you should “go with the fl ow.”

See that she gets plenty of rest and sleep. This need is often not met because teenagers feel that they shouldn’t have to go to bed as early as they did when they were children.

Therefore, they stay up too late and then drag through the next day in a state of exhaustion. Sur-prisingly, a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old actually needs more rest than when he or she was nine or ten, simply because of the accel-eration in growth.

In summary, your daugh-ter is turning overnight from a girl into a woman.

Some of the physical char-acteristics you are observ-ing are part of the transfor-mation. Do everything you can to facilitate it.

QUESTION: How can parents prepare their younger children for the assault on self-esteem that is almost certain to come in adolescence? That was a tough time for me, and I want it to be easier for my kids.

DR. DOBSON: Well, one important approach is to teach boys and girls valu-able skills with which they can compensate in years to come.

They can benefi t from learning something that will serve as the centerpiece of their self-concept during the diffi cult years.

This would include learn-ing about basketball, ten-nis, electronics, art, music or even raising rabbits for fun and profi t.

It’s not so much what you

teach your child. The key is that he or

she learns something with which to feel good when the whole world seems to be saying, “Who are you and what is your signifi -cance as a human being?”

The teenager who has no answer to those questions is left unprotected at a very vulnerable time of life.

Developing and honing skills with which to com-pensate may be one of the most valuable contribu-tions parents can make dur-ing the elementary school years.

It may even be worth re-quiring your carefree kid to take lessons, practice, com-pete and learn something he or she will not fully appreciate for a few more years.

QUESTION: Should school children be required to wear clothes that they dislike?

DR. DOBSON: Gener-

ally not. Children are very concerned about the threat of being laughed at by their friends and will sometimes go to great lengths to avoid that danger.

Conformity is fueled by the fear of ridicule. Teens, particularly, seem to feel, “The group can’t laugh at me if I am identical to them.”

From this perspective, it’s unwise to make a child endure unnecessary social humiliation.

Children should be al-lowed to select their own clothes, within certain limits of budget and good taste.

Where will you spend eternity at?

I have had the opportuni-ty to visit the Creation Mu-seum in Northern Kentucky and learned quite a few things while I was there.

For instance, we are con-stantly moving, even when we are standing still. Con-tinental land masses sit on enormous slabs of rock that slide very slowly at the rate of 1 to 8 inches per year. America is gradually mov-

ing westward, away from Europe, at the rate of 3 inch-es per year.

Our Milky Way galaxy is hurtling through space at 375 miles per second or 1.3 million miles per hour. But that’s not all. Within our own galaxy the sun and its solar system are zoom-ing along at 12.4 miles per second (43,000 mph) in the direction of the star Vega in the Lyra constellation.

Just as we are hurtling through the heavens at un-imaginable speeds, so too we are moving from here to eternity.

Our days and opportuni-ties to live for the Lord pass

so rapidly that we cannot afford to waste time.

One day your life will end, where will you spend eternity?

That decision will be made in this life-time, providing you take the opportunity to settle things between you and God now, not putting it off until a more convinent time.

The bible tells us that “now is the day of salva-tion.” What are you wait-ing for?

Time is very rapidly pass-ing by.

A6 - The News Standard Friday, September 3, 2010Court

By Casey TolliverThe News Standard

In today’s high tech so-ciety, traditions and the old ways are fading fast in the wake of the infor-mation age.

The newfound tradi-tion of Andyville Day, which will be Saturday, Sept. 11 at Stull’s Country Store in Andyville, hopes to counteract the loss of old ways.

“It started as a fluke,” Maury Stull, owner of Stull’s Country Store said. “Me and all the guys around here were work-ing late at the store one night, and somebody said ‘Maury, you need to have a party’. So out of some-thing tired, laborious and arduous came something fun.”

Andyville Days, which mixes food, fun and fes-tivities is held every other year and also serves as a reunion of sorts.

Stull, who bought

Stull’s Country Store from her parents in 2006, said that the celebration has morphed from party status to an “old-school community thing.”

In 2006, the inaugu-ral year of the shin dig, nearly 125 showed up to mix and mingle with friends and family mem-bers from the community that bonds them together, Stull said.

This year’s event is set to feature food, drink, fun and games for children and adults, as well as mu-sic.

A biggest ash con-test will pit participants against each other to see who can burn the longest ash on a cigar without the ash falling off the tip.

Andyville Day will also feature cornhole and horseshoe tournaments, where tossers will battle it out to see who is the best.

The musical stylings of Hillbilly’s Having Fun,

Bluestown and Johnny Berry will also be heard at the event.

Bluestown will be de-buting a new patriotic song to commemorate the anniversary of Sept. 11, Stull said.

Andyville Day kicks off at 3 p.m. The music is slated to begin at 4 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring their instruments and join jam sessions in between the bands’ per-formances.

Anyone attending should expect to sit back, relax and have a good time, but most important-ly — be prepared to so-cialize, according to Stull.

People travel from around the state, as well as from other states such as Virginia and Ohio to attend the social function.

“It’s a pretty eclectic and diverse crowd,” Stull said. “It’s amazing the type of people that get down here for that day.”

Andyville days to bring old school feel Sept. 11

grant as part of the Federal Highway Administration’s Recreation Trails Program.

“The development of trails is an important part of sup-porting our adventure tour-ism efforts in Kentucky,” Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear said in announcing the 25 counties to receive moneys from the grant. “I’m glad to see these communi-ties and groups willing to

contribute to our trail sys-tem. These trails can help improve our citizens’ health and serve as a tourist attrac-tion as well.”

Meade County Judge/Ex-ecutive Harry Craycroft said the grant was a welcomed one.

“That is a popular site for many residents and to be able to get the funds to make it better is something we ap-preciate,” Craycroft said.

He said plans are for the trail to be extended from where the black top area now ends to the river.

“This should extend the trail to a total of between two and two and a half miles,” Craycroft said.

The project is already in the planning stages and the grant requires construction to begin within a year.

“This should be done in a fairly reasonable amount of time,” he added.

Among the areas receiv-ing funds were Breckinridge County for the City of Har-dinsburg Recreational Trail, $17,000 and Hardin County for the City of Elizabethtown Sports Park Trail, $80,000.

I, Mark Hubbard, after serving as the 3rd District magistrate of Meade Coun-ty for the past four years, I would like to announce my candidacy for re-election.

I am a lifelong resident of Meade County and have lived in the 3rd District for 46 years.

I was born and raised in Guston and reside in Fla-herty. For the past 20 years I have worked for Sysco Louisville Inc., where I am currently the Safety Man-ager. My responsibilities include OSHA compliance, employee safety and EPA compliance (federal, state, and local).

I have worked diligently to meet the needs of the residents of the 3rd District. During my tenure as mag-istrate, I have supported keeping property tax rates the same, while also man-

aging to pay off the solid waste debt.

I also supported the ex-pansion of satellite recycle center drop-off points and One Call Now — reverse 911 emergency notification.

It has been an honor and privilege to serve the resi-dents of the Guston, Fla-herty and Otter Creek areas. If re-elected, I will continue to serve and support the 3rd District, as well as the growth and improvement of Meade County.

I am asking for your sup-port in re-electing me as your 3rd District Magistrate on Nov. 2, so I can continue to serve you.

Lahue announces candidacyI, Nathan Lahue would like

to announce my candidacy for Meade County Sheriff.

I am the proud son of a deceased U.S. Air Force vet-eran, who served our nation honorably for 20 years. It was from him, that I learned what it meant to be a servant. I have been blessed through my father, to have lived all over the world experiencing other cultures and languages. I heard the call to enlist in our nation’s Army in 1996.

I have served honorably in my father’s footsteps as an Armored Crewmember, as a Cavalry Scout, as a Drill Ser-geant and Special Agent in our military.

I achieved a Bachelor of Sci-ence degree in Criminal Jus-tice with a 3.91 GPA.

I owe a debt of gratitude to my loving wife Christa and daughter Shelby, who have stood beside me every step of the way.

I am a youth director at our local church, engaged with teaching the need for Christ in everyday lives.

Through my travels and experience, I have learned to draw away from the false paradigm of the left-right politics.

I have developed a healthy mistrust in big government, and seek to limit it. I believe the only way for evil to persist, is for good men and women to do nothing at all.

This is why I am running to be your Meade County Sher-iff. I pledge to obey my oath to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, no matter how the po-litical winds may change, and will stand up for what’s right.

Moving to Meade County and getting to know the area has been a real joy.

As an independent Sheriff candidate, I intend to use my skill sets, education, vibrant youth, and experience to im-prove the Law Enforcement here in Meade County — for the people, not the govern-ment. I want a wonderful place for my family to live, and a safe place where my daughter to grow-up.

I ask and seek the support of all Meade County resi-dents, to be your sheriff.

If you want to know more about me and my views, call me 270-320-2273 or visit my Web site at www.DontTrea-dOnMeade.com

work hard for you!

“A cat is considered a free roaming animal and I don’t understand why,” Muldraugh Mayor Danny Tate said. “There’s not a lot you can do. I think they need to change the law to where they’re not. Or, maybe the county can adopt an ordinance to say they’re not.”

Concern over the feral felines was sparked when city officials received a complaint pertaining to feral cats and dogs excret-ing waste in yards from a concerned citizen at last month’s Muldraugh City Council meeting.

To quell the problem, the city purchased four live traps to set up in feral cat problem areas.

“We bought some traps and we’re having the ones we catch spayed and neu-tered and taking some of

them to the pound,” Tate said.

So far, 10 felines have been captured since the trapping stint began just over a week ago.

Tate said the goal is cap-turing at least 75 cats.

The targeted areas so far have been Lynn Street, Oak Street and Beech Street.

A couple of the cats cap-tured so far were pets, he added.

“We had to give two of them back, after we found out who the owners were,” Tate said.

Though dogs were also mentioned at the meeting, the city is focused more on capturing cats than their canine counterparts.

“The dog problem is not near as bad as the cat problem, because the dog warden drives and catch-es them and takes them to the pound,” Tate said. “The cat to dog ratio is 40:1, for every 40 cats we have running around, we have only one dog.”

Since cats are consid-ered free roaming, the dog warden is prohibited from capturing them, Tate added.

Though Meade County Animal Control’s hands are somewhat tied, the en-tity has been working with the city to get the problem under control and to en-sure disease does not be-come an issue.

“The dog catcher is working with owners who have too many animals, checking to see that they have all their shots and all the pens are healthy,” Tate said.

The traps, which are be-ing set by Muldraugh Pub-lic Works workers, have snared more than just the targeted felines.

“We’ve caught things like possums and coons … we’ve caught a little bit of everything,” Tate said. “People who have cats and feed them outside, the varmints tend to feed on that too.”

came together for him. He did an outstanding job with the gilt Fancy.”

For his outstanding ef-forts, Barger was rewarded handsomely for his nurtur-ing of Fancy, who weighed 50 pounds when he got her in April and topped out at a whopping 272 pounds when she was sold last week.

On top of his Grand Cham-pion status, he was the recipi-ent of more than $10,000 of the $17,500 price tag paid for Fancy. The rest of the prize money was divided between other winners and 4-H and FFA members.

The funds will be added to Barger’s winnings from other hog showing prize monies — and will be deposited in his ever growing college fund.

Barger said he wants to be a veterinarian when he gets older.

Butler, who has been show-ing and raising hogs for nearly 25 years, not only introduced his younger cousin to the world of raising and showing swine, but was instrumental in the learning process and development into one of the top hog showers in the state.

Barger insists that without the help of his older cousin, his state fair accolades would not have been possible.

“Every morning at six, he was up there with me,” Barg-er said. “Brian, he lets me be a part of all this. If it wasn’t for Brian, none of this would be possible.”

Butler has supported and prodded his younger cousin throughout his short but il-lustrious hog showing career, and even provided the first pig that the boy raised for show.

“It meant a lot that he would do that much for me,” Barger said. “I appreciate everything he does, because he does a lot for me. We both love doing it and it’s just really fascinating to both of us with all of this going on. He just really wants me to be the best that I can re-ally be.”

And although he won Su-preme Grand Champion, Barger realizes he still has un-tapped potential and has not reached his best.

He is looking forward to next year as an opportunity to shatter expectations placed af-ter this year’s performance.

“There’s always room for improvement,” he said. “But I think I’m doing pretty good. I’m getting pretty close. But it will all start over again next April and we’ll just see how things go.”

According to the preteen champion hog shower, the hogs he works with provide the foundation for winning ways of the future.

“We’re hoping they’ll do pretty good,” Barger said. “We have three fantastic sows that always give us great babies.”

Gary Nelson, who has shown hogs for three years,

has fostered his award win-ning techniques by show-ing gilts and barrows at the Meade County and Kentucky State Fairs.

“I give them a really good view of the hogs,” Barger said. “When I’m showing a hog, you’re supposed to drive like you’re not in there. They have to see all the view. I keep good eye contact with the judge and keep the hog at a good pace.”

Although he has shown successfully in previous years, this year’s paramount march to the top of the state hog showing community has left an educating mark on Barger.

“There’s a lot of different things I learned this year,” he said. “I learned that you’ve got to give a lot of effort and it takes hard work, and you’ve got to love your animal.”

However, his previous ex-periences weren’t enough to prepare him to give up his love and fondness for Fancy.

“It was really hard to leave her up there yesterday,” Barg-er said. “I just knew I was re-ally going to miss her and I would never forget her. She has been a great hog for us. I was kind of sad. I didn’t want to leave her.”

Local Happenings.........Submitted by the Ky. Offi ce of Hwy. Safety

LEXINGTON — The Kentucky Offi ce of High-way Safety (KOHS) is join-ing law enforcement and highway safety agencies across the nation to take part in the “Drunk Driv-ing. Over the Limit. Under Arrest” crackdown on im-paired driving.

KOHS offi cials, along with the Lexington Divi-sion of Police and former University of Kentucky head football coach Rich Brooks, promoted the campaign during a news conference today at Com-monwealth Stadium in Lexington. The campaign began Aug. 20 and runs through Labor Day.

“All too often, we see in-nocent, law-abiding people suffer tragic consequences and the loss of loved ones due to this careless disre-gard for human life,” said KOHS Executive Director Chuck Geveden. “That is why law enforcement offi cers throughout the state are working to keep drunken drivers off the road.”

Drunken driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes. According to the National Highway Traf-fi c Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2008 alone, nearly 12,000 people were killed in highway crashes involving a driver or mo-torcycle operator with a

blood alcohol concentra-tion (BAC) of 0.08 or high-er. Also according to NHT-SA, young people age 21 to 24 account for the highest percentage of impaired drivers in fatal crashes.

Brooks frequently speaks to young people about the responsibility that comes with the freedom to make choices in life, and warns of the negative consequences that could follow.

“Even if you beat the odds and walk away from a drunken driving crash, violators often face jail time, loss of their driver’s license, higher insurance rates, attorney fees, lost work time and other ex-penses,” said Brooks. “The greatest risk, however, is taking someone’s life.”

Last year, Kentucky re-corded over 5,400 alcohol-related crashes, resulting in 203 deaths and over 2,600 injuries. Fayette County ranked No. 2, with 475 such collisions, which caused 208 injuries and six fatalities.

Lexington-Fayette Ur-ban County Police Cmdr. Michael Blanton said en-forcement offi cers are out in force during this holiday period. “We’ll be out day and night, but with a spe-cial emphasis during the high-risk nighttime hours, when impaired drivers are most likely to be on our roads,” Blanton said. “We will be watching, and if you are driving impaired,

I guarantee you will be arrested.”

During the 2009 Labor Day holiday weekend, 10 people were killed and over 340 were injured on Kentucky roadways. Six of those deaths involved alcohol.

Brooks warned every-one to think before getting behind the wheel. “A BAC of 0.08 is the legal limit, but that doesn’t mean you can safely drive at 0.07,” said Brooks. “Impairment begins as soon as you take that fi rst drink, affecting your reaction time and ability to think clearly.”

Geveden encouraged motorists to take a simple precaution to help prevent injury or death.

“Wearing a seat belt is not only the law in Ken-tucky, but it is your best defense against an im-paired driver,” said Geve-den.

Driving with a BAC of 0.08 or higher is illegal in every state. All states also have zero tolerance laws, which means it is illegal for anyone under 21 to drive after drinking any amount of alcohol.

The national crackdown, led by NHTSA, combines high-visibility enforce-ment with heightened public awareness through advertising and publicity.

“The message is clear and simple,” said Blanton. “If you are over the limit, you will be under arrest.”

RESONSIBLE

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

Editor’s Note: This is the sixth story in a seven-part series concerning different aspects of a student’s life in Meade County and the oppor-tunities available to them.

Each new school year brings in the joys of new math books, notebooks, sharpened pencils and every parent’s “favorite” duty — fundraising.

As bothersome as they are, many athletic teams, clubs and extra-curricular activities view them as a necessity that keeps them afloat in a pool full of bud-get cuts and short falls.

Whether it be candy bars, candles or chances — it seems as though students and parents alike are con-stantly asking for money or donations from the com-munity to help aid eachorganization.

School officials have even taken notice.

“Our community is just bombarded (with fundrais-ers),” said Jason Sutton, di-rector of pupil personnel.

In Meade County, many fundraisers are either set by the particular club, the booster clubs, or the Par-ent Teacher Organization.

According to Meade County Superintendent Mitch Crump, there are two different types of fundraisers. The board-approved fundraisers include anything that in-volves students whether it be sports camps or selling discount cards.

The other side includes the booster clubs and the Parent Teacher Organiza-tions, who essentially can hold as many fundraisers as they like.

Crump notes that with so many organizations and churches, the school must take into consider-ation how parents are al-ready presented fundrais-ers from all angles.

“We don’t want to sat-urate the community,” Crump said.

“We try to minimize it as much as we can,” said John Proctor, athletic di-rector at Meade County High School.

This is where the booster clubs come into play. They are in place to help raise funds for extra activities such as trips and out-of-town tournaments or they cover extra t-shirts or sup-plies. On the other hand, the schools pay for the necessary equipment for the students’ safety such as kneepads, helmets and cleats.

“Our boosters have been so good about taking care of athletes,” Proctor said. “And we could not oper-ate without them.”

Fortunately, there are restrictions and Proctor believes the fundraising structure ensures that the students aren’t overloaded.

With so many organiza-tions available for student involvement, the number of required fundraisers soon increases and busi-nesses repeatedly get asked for money or donations.

“We’re a small commu-nity and only have a lim-ited number of retailers,” Proctor said. “I’ve been sympathetic of how hard we hit the retailers. But they’ve always been great about obliging.”

Crump notes that even though it can be tiresome, fundraising can positively affect everyone in the area. For example, his wife bought a discount card from an organization for $10. It had a $3 coupon for haircuts and in turn, his family started to get their haircut from that particu-lar hair dresser.

“It creates a good traf-fic for the businesses,” he said. “The customer, business and organizationcan win.”

Crump noted that in the end, it creates a full circle. What he means is that the customer gets a great prod-uct, the business gets more exposure and the organi-zation attains the needed funds.

Along with businesses, many community mem-bers seem to be constantly asked for donations or to support a particular fund-raiser. But, Crump said the schools try to approach the situation differently.

“We try to stay away from donations,” Crump said. “A lot of times boost-ers can provide a nice quality product for a rea-sonable price.”

In this day and age, money is tight due to the economy. Families aren’t spending as much as they used too and funding con-tinually declines, which in turn, raises the impor-tance of fundraisers and the gradual irritation of parents.

“Eventually the oil runs dry,” said Jesse Howard, president of the MCHS band boosters, adding that he always tries to sell items to his neighbors, while, in turn, they approach him with fundraisers also.

Howard, who has been the president of the Band Boosters for two years, said his organization tries to set up fundraisers that aren’t too pricey that tar-gets friends, family and neighbors.

While candles may seem easy, it only brings in a small amount of money. Even though every little bit helps, Howard said he would rather see fundrais-ers where more money goes back into the organi-zation.

Howard said he also runs into the issue of over-lapping fundraisers. For example, the band and the baseball team may both be selling candles at the same time. Currently, there isn’t a set structure to ensure that doesn’t occur.

But according to Crump, to guarantee that this situa-tion won’t transpire again, parents and students need to keep their eyes and ears open of other fundraisers.

Another crucial aspect for the success of fundrais-ers is to be as creative as possible.

“We’ve got to figure something that’s new and exciting,” Howard said. “People can only have so many gift cards and can-dles. The old way of do-ing it just doesn’t seem to work anymore.”

Some unique fundrais-ers the band has in the works includes a bingo night, bowling at Lynn’s Pins or an alumni band night, where former stu-dents could pay $10 to per-form with the band before Homecoming.

According to Howard, this type of event would generate more money as compared to a stereotypi-cal fundraiser.

“It would be easier than selling a bunch of candles,” Howard said.

Around Thanksgiving time, another fundraiser the band does includes selling Amish recipes, which has earned them up to $1,500 in funds in the past.

According to Bob Davis, coach to the MCHS wres-tling team, his organiza-tion tries to steer clear of stereotypical fundraisers such as candles and tup-perware.

Davis admits fundrais-ers aren’t his favorite as-pect of coaching, but they are needed because “ath-letics are expensive.”

“Either you do it or you pay for it,” Davis said.

According to Davis, the dollar signs increase for everyday expenses such as keeping the kids hydrated, cleaning uniforms, updat-ing equipment and taping the mats down.

Since students can’t be involved in all fundrais-ing opportunities, How-ard said a lot of the weight falls back on the booster clubs.

“One parent told me they feel like a begger on the streets,” Howard said. “Kids just get burned out.”

Meg King, president of David T. Wilson’s Par-ent Teacher Organization, feels a bit different aboutfundraisers.

“To me, (fundraisers) make (schools) much bet-ter,” she said.

While DTW doesn’t hold festivals like other schools in the district, they do hold a magazine drive every year. King feels this par-ticular fundraiser works well for them since it fos-ters reading and helps the school.

The funds have even equaled to some extra gad-gets in the classroom such as computers, smart pads and magnifiers, King said.

“We really do one main fundraiser,” she added. “It seems to do well. I think people realize what it does. It makes the school a better place for the kids.”

DTW also holds a spring meet-n-greet where par-ents have the opportunity to meet other parents.

Even though that event doesn’t necessarily make DTW’s wallet full of green, King said it does help par-ents feel more comfortable about the school.

As a mother of four kids, King understands the irri-tation of having fundrais-ers come from all directions and this is what she consid-ers as PTO president.

However, without fund-raising, budgets cuts would greatly effect the year’s activities at DTW, she noted.

One aspect that tends to lessen students’ and parents’ aggravations is including incentives with fundraisers. For example, Howard said if they of-fer a t-shirt it gives some-thing for people to work towards.

In the band, Howard said the booster club tries to keep fees low and equipment updated, de-spite budget setbacks.

And their expens-es quickly add up. For example, the band pays $1,500 to keep uni-forms clean and $2,500 on sheet music alone, and this doesn’t even include their summer concert season.

“We want to keep par-ticipation high,” Howard said. “But at the same time you need money for that.”

MCHS has some of the lowest band fees in the state, Howard noted. But if they raise fees, Howard fears that participation may decline.

While the athletic depart-ment doesn’t current incor-porate fees with activities, Proctor said he wouldn’t rule it out as a futurepossibility.

So in turn, either kids participate in fundraising — even though it’s a task that most people want to avoid — or clubs and ac-tivities will have to tight-en their spending belts or charge fees in order to overcome budget cuts and high costs.

Bottom line, fundraising is a necessary evil and is vital to the success of most teams, clubs and organizations.

“It’s not something I look forward to,” Howard said. “But it’s something we have to do. Either keep raising money or raise fees.”

With one kid involved in cross country and another involved in the band, Howard jokes that while he is the president of the band boosters, he feels like he has two full time jobs.

“By the end of each school year, I have two months off fundraising,” he said.

CANDIDATES FOR NOVEMBER 2ndELECTION IN MEADE COUNTY

Many of us are surprised by how much sleep our children need. Adults need between seven to nine hours of sleep each night, and many of us often run on far less. Because we need less sleep, we may think our children can get by with the same amount as we do, but that’s not the case.

The American Academy of Pediatrics offers the following sleep guidelines for children:

• Newborn to 6 months- 16 to 20 hours

• 6 to 12 months- 14 to 15 hours

• 1 to 3 years- 10 to 13 hours

• 3 to 10 years- 10 to 12 hours

• 11 to 12 years- about 10 hours

•Teenagers- about nine hours

Keep in mind that these numbers reflect total sleep hours in a 24-hour period. For example, 12-year-olds who get up at 7 a.m. should be in bed by at least 9 p.m. to get their full 10 hours of sleep.

Children who are regularly sleep deprived are often ex-hibit behavioral problems. They may be irritable, overly emotional, have difficulty concentrating, forget easily, wake up several times during the night and may exhibit hy-peractive behaviors.

Be firm about a bedtime routine. A routine could in-clude giving your children choices about which pajamas to wear, the stuffed animal he or she wants to take to bed, etc. Try a warm, relaxing bath.

Playing soft and sooth-ing music can help. Tucking your children into bed snugly can give them a feeling of se-curity. Follow through with your plan consistently each evening, even if your children protest and test you at first. If you are firm, they will come to respect your guidance.

Moving their bedtime up a half hour is another way to

help them get enough sleep. To do this, try including a winding-down period in the bedtime routine.

Your child may enjoy cud-dling while being read a bed-time story or playing a quiet board game with you.

Avoid permitting your child to drink caffeinated beverages near bedtime. Caffeine is a stimulant and can disrupt a child’s normal sleep rhythm.

An hour or two before bed-time children might enjoy a light snack like some crackers, a handful of cereal, fresh fruit or vegetables, popcorn or a small portion of sherbet, but they should not eat a heavy meal just before going to bed.

Don’t give your baby or toddler a bottle to aid sleep-ing. This can cause “baby bottle tooth decay” because the fluids tend to pool in the child’s mouth.

Remind younger children about their approaching bed-time by giving them a heads-up a half hour before and a 10-minute warning.

Encourage your older chil-dren to set and maintain a bedtime that allows for the full number of hours needed for their age.

Some firm limit setting may be necessary here if your children are not able to discipline themselves to go to bed on time.

Just remember that every child is different, and there’s not just one way to raise a good sleeper. As active as children are, most have the ability to sleep well.

The key is for parents to help them establish healthy sleep habits and have a rou-tine of winding down before heading for bed.

For more information about children and sleep, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extensive Service at 270-422-4958.

Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

It’s important to get the proper amount of sleep each night. If children aren’t getting enough sleep they often exhibit behavioral problems.

A way to eat more, but weigh lessBy Angela Shelf Medearis

The Kitchen Diva

According to the annual “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threat-ens America’s Future” report for 2010, released by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foun-dation, Americans are losing the battle of the bulge.

Elizabeth Pivonka is a reg-istered dietitian and CEO of produce for the Better Health Foundation, the nonprofit en-tity behind the national pub-lic-health initiative “Fruits & Veggies — More Matters.” Pivonka says that most adults don’t get the recommended servings of fruit and vegeta-bles each day. “Eating more fruits and vegetables in place of options that are higher in fat and calories is an impor-tant step in losing weight and keeping it off.

“Fruits and vegetables play important roles in the process of weight loss and weight maintenance,” says Pivonka. “Not only because they are low in calories, but also be-cause they provide a wide range of valuable nutrients like vitamins and potassium. They also are high in fiber and water, so eating them will keep you feeling full longer.

“Fruits and vegetables are the cheapest form of health insurance you can buy,” ac-cording to Pivonka, “since eating them may help reduce the risk of obesity and many diseases. Everyone can ben-efit from eating more fruits and vegetables, so fill at least half of your plate with them at every meal. There is no need to eat the same thing day after day when there are so many delicious fruits and veggies from which to choose. Add-ing more fruits and vegetables to your diet is easy when you remember that all product

forms count — fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100 percent fruit and vegetable juice.”

Here are some ways you can easily increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you consume each day:

• Set out raw vegetables with dip to snack on before starting to prepare the eve-ning meal.

• Don’t forget about dried fruits and veggies. Keep a bag of your favorites in your handbag or in the car for those times when a craving strikes while you’re on the go. These also work well as fast additions to breakfast cereals or soups and stews.

• Use a smaller plate, like an 8- or 9-inch luncheon plate, not a 10-12 inch dinner plate, and make sure to fill at least half of it with fruits and veg-gies at every meal.

• Have fruit instead of pro-cessed sweets for dessert. Or try chocolate with your fruit instead of fruit with your chocolate!

• Keep a variety of canned fruits and vegetables on hand. They are pre-cooked as part of the canning process and need just a few seconds in the microwave or on the stove to heat up. Healthy and fast!

• Add frozen vegetables to box meals to boost their fla-vor, color and nutrition. They won’t add to the cooking time, will make the meal go further, and you won’t have to fix an extra side dish.

• Spend the few extra cents to buy fresh fruits and vegeta-bles that are already washed and cut up, or buy larger bags and clean and cut them up yourself and put them into portion-controlled containers. Keep them on hand for ready-to-eat snacks, pack them into lunches and take them on car trips.

• When shopping, let kids

select a new fruit or vegetable for the whole family to try — remember, all forms count: fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100 percent juice.

MASSIVE OVERSTOCK OF BUSINESS INVENTORYVisit our Web site for a selection of pictures and an inventory list

By Brian GravesThe News Standard

You might call it the com-munity rumpus room.

Thousands of movies. Hundreds of games. And, all the treats to go with it.

It’s all encapsulated un-der one roof at the new Family Video located in River Ridge Plaza in Bran-denburg.

Some might wonder why anyone would open a vid-eo store in the same spot where one just closed.

It’s simple, really.The Family Video chain

does this on a regular ba-sis and according to Eddie Benham, who is helping get the Brandenburg location started, it has worked for the company every time.

“The other companies have just made bad busi-ness decisions,” Benham said. “We are privately owned and debt free. We open all our locations our-selves. All our products are transferred in from other locations.”

The chain of stores opened in a unique way.

The man who owns the company at one time owned an appliance business and mistakenly was shipped an order of movies.

So, a new business was born and has been around for almost 30 years.

“The one thing we do here is customer service,” Benham said. “We go over and beyond the call.”

Amazingly, he added the store never closes.

“We only close long enough for Santa to make his deliveries,” he noted. “Then, we open back up at noon on Christmas Day. Again, it’s all about our customers.”

Benham was raised in Brandenburg and says he came to this store be-cause of his connection to the city.

“I run the store in New Albany, but when they de-cided upon this location, they said, ‘Hey, you’re from there, aren’t you?’ and here I am.”

Family Video’s desire to be the best aT custom-er service is immediately evident when entering the front door.

“Anybody comes in the door here, we’re going to greet them. We’re going to say ‘Hi’ and make them feel warm and welcome in our home just like we would hope any other business would if we went there,” Benham said.

“We like to keep it very personal here,” he add-ed. “It’s a family envi-ronment.”

Benham said eventually customers become like part of the family and individu-als and families become known by name.

Anytime a fi rst-timer comes to the store, they get the grand tour.

“When a customer fi rst walks in, they see the free kids’ section. They are ab-solutely free for fi ve nights and they won’t cost a dime,” Benham said.

There is also a free sports and fi tness section for adults to take advantage of.

“Right there, you can essentially come in and get six items for nothing,” he noted. “Nobody else does that.”

The store also has sec-tions of classic movies from before 1950, stand-up comedy, and virtually any category imaginable.

There is a family fun section the company prescreens to make sure they have family-friend-ly content.

“If you get something out of this section, you don’t have to worry about small children seeing them,” Benham said.

“All these selections you see here on the fl oor — all one buck for fi ve nights,” Benham said.

The store also features a wide array of games and there are specially marked games that can entitle cus-tomers to get another game for free.

“We also make available if you only rent one game, you can get a $1 movie absolutely free,” Benham said. “Even if you get the game for one night, you keep the movie fi ve.”

There is a “favorites” video section that carries a guarantee.

“These are selections we guarantee you will like,” he said. “If you rent some-thing from this section, take it home and don’t like it, we’ll give you some-thing else from this section absolutely free.”

“We have great deals here,” he added. “It keeps people coming back and keeps our cus-tomers happy.”

Benham said the store plans on becoming very in-volved in the community.

“There aren’t many vid-eo stores that do what we want to do,” he noted. “We want to have a gaming con-test, a mini-carnival, and, depending on city ordi-nances, we’d like to be able to show a movie outside every now and then.”

The store also offers CD and DVD cleaning for $1.99 a piece.

“We have a machine we use to guarantee our mov-ies stay in top quality,” Bonham said. “This is just another service we offer to our customers. If they have discs that need re-pair, they can bring them in and all we make off of this is just the supplies for

the machine.”Family Video also offers

movies for sale, both new and used.

“We recognize the near-est place to fi nd a selec-tion of movies for sale is not nearby, so we can offer that,” Benham said.

The town must have caught on because since opening last week, Ben-ham said there have been more than 600 have signed up for the memberships — which are free and come with lots of discounts.

“I actually had someone walk out of here the other night and there was no cost attached to what he left with,” Benham said.

And, if anyone doesn’t think Family Video can be a fun place, the new ice cream machine was deliv-ered Tuesday morning.

The store is open every day from 10 a.m. until mid-night.

Mysterious charges of about $65 to $68 from iEarn, LLC, are turning up on cred-it card and bank accounts across the U.S., according to recent complaints to the Bet-ter Business Bureau. Some complaints allege that ac-counts have been charged more than once by the Cop-pell, TX-based business. Now the business is operating as Success Funding Now.

A woman in St. Paul, MN,

complained: “A bill of $65.32 appeared on my credit card statement … I have never heard of let alone done busi-ness with this company and wonder where they got my credit card information. I am disputing the transaction through the credit card com-pany but it concerns me that I have never heard of this company before yet they are billing me for what???”

The fi rst complaint was fi led with the BBB serving Dallas and Northeast Texas in late July, 2010, and a month

later there are 19 complaints. The BBB sent the complaints to the business, but so far there’s no response from the business. ow operating as Success Funding Now, is not a BBB Accredited Business. The business has a BBB rat-ing of F, on a scale from A+ to F. Reasons for this rating includness operates.

Complaints report that not only is it a mystery where the charges come from, but also the business isn’t answer-ing the phone or replying to emails.

Ham sold at State Fair brings home the bacon

Local residents fair well at the 2010 Ky. State Fair

Submitted by Kentucky Farm Bureau

Louisville — The halls of the Kentucky Exposition Cen-ter’s South Wing B rang loud as the 47th Kentucky Coun-try Ham Auction came to a close this morning, bringing in a record-breaking $1.6 mil-lion for the state fair’s grand champion ham.

The live auction highlighted Kentucky Farm Bureau’s an-nual breakfast before a crowd of 1,600.

Two bidders, Bernard Trager, Chairman of Republic Bank and Trust, and Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates, owner of Dr. Bizer’s Vision World, pooled their resources togeth-er and contributed $800,000 each for the 16.05-pound ham produced by Broadbent B&B Foods of Kuttawa, Kentucky.

That is the equivalent of $100,000 per pound of ham.

Trager masterminded the notion of combining bids to make the impressive win-ning offer, sending a message across the room to Dr. Lynn to see if there was mutual inter-est in the idea. Dr. Lynn — not only a first-time bidder, but also a first-time attendee — agreed.

“They came over and said, ‘Let’s both do it for $800,000,’” said Dr. Lynn. “I thought why not? It’s for charity and every-body wins that way.”

While the auction’s enor-mous bids draw great atten-tion from even the casual passerby, a greater cause

is served when the money raised is donated to the char-ity of the winning bidder’s choice.

Dr. Mark Lynn & Associ-ates indicated that they in-tend to donate the winning amount to the University of Louisville, Visually Impaired Preschool Services and East-ern Area Community Minis-tries.

“My son, Steve, likes to say, ‘What we make here, stays here,’” said Trager. “As a lo-cal institution with local inter-ests, we’ll be supporting the community’s education and healthcare interests with our donation.”

While no goal is set for the ham’s top bid each year, Ken-tucky Farm Bureau has now helped raise more than $5.6 million for local charities, ed-ucational and philanthropic groups through the 47-year history of the auction.

“It’s always a good day when you have a hand in raising $1.6 million for char-ity over breakfast,” said Su-sie Tanner, Kentucky Farm Bureau’s commodity direc-tor and ham breakfast event coordinator. “We’re proud of the history of this event and today’s winning bid adds to that legacy.”

The auction’s humble be-ginnings — a respectable $124 winning bid at the first event in 1964 — have grown exponentially in recent years. The average price of the auc-tioned ham over the last 10 years is now $462,048.

The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team re-mained undefeated in dis-trict play on Tuesday night when they traveled to Han-cock County and won in straight games, 25-21, 25-18.

The team played well, but still had lingering mis-communications through-out the game such as let-ting balls drop between players, serving errors and poor passing.

“It was just sloppy. I thought they would be ready after Saturday,” Meade County head coach Jennifer Smith said whose team is now 12-5. “We tried different things to get ready on Saturday. I fi nally got something that worked. But it didn’t work tonight.”

The Lady Waves played in the Western Hills Invi-tational tournament last weekend where Smith tried a new rotation and got some new players in the game.

One of the players that saw some playing time was junior hitter Kalailia Chun.

“Chun is so strong,” Smith said. “If she can get a hold of the ball she can hit it as good as Tiffany Fil-burn. She’s not consistent yet. So we’re going get her back.”

Chun had two kills and an ace against Hancock County.

Meade County took the lead in the fi rst game, 12-6, but Hancock County cut the lead to one, 19-18.

The Meade County Lady Waves soccer team’s offense has jolted into action the past two games with 22 goals.

On Monday, Meade County beat North Bullitt 11-1 in a mercy-short-ened game with more than 15 min-utes left in the game.

The win marks a second straight 10-goal victory and third straight win for the Lady Waves. The girls soccer program has had only four 10-goal wins the previous nine sea-sons combined.

“We have just clicked and I wish we would have clicked the fi rst two games,” Meade County head coach Dan Shook said, whose team opened the season with two straight losses. “We struggled against North Bullitt last year. So it’s good to do this against a team we had troubles with last year.”

Last season the Lady Waves found themselves tied 1-1 at the half with North Bullitt, but eeked out a win in the second half, 2-1. This season the Lady Waves have rallied together after having a tough fi rst two games.

“Last year we lost 13 seniors … and that was tough on us,” said junior midfi elder Shelby Miller. “We came out and had some tough games (this year). We realize that we can be more than what we thought. Our team is great this year. All the girls are awesome.”

Miller was part of six of the 11 Meade County goals. She had four assists and two goals from her right outside position. All of her assists came from crosses to senior for-wards Kristin Benton and Lindsey Burchett.

“I need to get those crosses to the far corner so the forwards can get a

Good Call

No Respect for ‘tri’ ing

If the late Rodney Dan-gerfi eld were an athlete he’d probably be a triath-lete. Not because of his “impossible” Triple Lindy dive in the movie ‘Back to School,’ rather he just gets “no respect.”

After watching last week-end’s Ironman triathlon in Louisville, which was pre-ceded by my own participa-tion in Aug. 21’s MAC Mini-triathlon, I have realized that triathletes are the most underrated, underappreci-ated athletes in the world.

The athletic feat of swim-ming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles in one day is incom-prehensible to most ath-letes who play mainstream sports. Or maybe even the sprint triathlon where it’s a 750-meter swim, 20 km bike and 10k run — yes that’s considered to be a sprint.

While a heavy night for a baseball pitcher is around 100 pitches or 45-plus min-utes for a NBA player, tri-athletes’ light days consists of an easy fi ve mile run on a Sunday morning.

Friday, September 3, 2010 The News Standard - B3SportS

left the Steelers 22-1 Super Bowl long shots and now Meade County won its season opener with a new-look spread offense.

The usual Meade Coun-ty grind-it-out run game, turned into a quarterback/running back scrambling offense that helped de-feat the Anderson County Bearcats, 28-21, during last Friday’s season opener.

The offense racked up 414 yards of total offense including three touch-downs by junior running back Max Cundiff.

“I love the new offense,” Cundiff said, who finished with 97 yards on 18 carries. “We have three running options with (junior quar-terback) Thomas (Wilson), me and (senior running back) Rex (Liverman). So almost every play we have the potential of breaking one off. It’s good for so many reasons.”

The game couldn’t have started better for the Green-wave. The defense inter-cepted a pass during the first drive of the game and took the ball to the 34-yard line. The next play, Cun-diff bounced a run to the outside and scampered un-touched for a touchdown 45 seconds into the game.

“Yeah, that was a good start,” Meade County head coach Larry Mofield said. “But I knew it wasn’t go-ing to be easy. They’re (An-derson County) too well coached to fold the tent up. You can’t get up on a team 7-0 and rest. You have to keep fighting.”

“We got so much mo-mentum from that,” Cun-diff said of the game’s first touchdown. “My blockers — Jeremy Greenwell, Will (Wilson), (Zack) Adams, (Aaron) Settles — all those guys set me up. When they make the hole, I have the easy part.”

Anderson County an-swered back during the ensuing drive and scored when quarterback Seth Carmichael completed the 53 yard pass to wide re-ceiver Neal Wells.

Six minutes later the Bearcats took their only lead of the game on a 19-yard touchdown run by Ethan Kelly making the score 14-7. But that was all the offense that Anderson County could muster.

The previous week, An-derson County tallied 522 yards in their win over Garrard County — they had 346 rushing yards.

The Greenwave defense held the Bearcats to only 97 rushing yards thanks to their defensive front.

“They had to resort to pass-ing more than they wanted to,” Mofield said. “I think the defensive front played well. Their running back was good and we stopped him for the most part. “

Thomas Wilson was a wide-eyed rookie having his first start as a varsity quarterback, while play-ing the wily veteran in the defensive backfield where he’s played varsity for three years.

Wilson struggled to cre-ate a passing game — com-pleting only four passes — but he used his legs to make plays and rushed for 186 yards. On defense, he had two key interceptions

both of which set up touch-down drives.

“Defensive back is dif-ferent than quarterback for me,” Wilson said. “This is my third year (at safety). So I feel like a rookie on of-fense but like a veteran on defense.

“Coach Mattingly is one of the best defensive coaches around. He has us in the right position every time and when they make a mistake we capitalize on it,” Wilson added about his two interceptions.

Wilson’s biggest play of the night came when he intercepted the ball on the Bearcats 30-yard line and returned it to the 14-yard line with 14:22 left in the game.

Two minutes later, Cun-diff dove into the end zone for his third touchdown to essentially put the game away, 28-14.

During the third quarter, Wilson had a 49-yard touch-down run to give Meade County the lead 21-0.

“Coach told me that I was going to get a lot of carries,” Wilson said. “I just want to do whatever I can to help win games. If it’s me carrying the ball then I’ll do it.”

Wilson ended the night with only 61-passing yards — 40 of them came from a pass to Bo Wilson in the first quarter.

Meade County could have put the game away earlier, but the team’s red zone offense sputtered twice.

“We tell the kids every week you have to over-come some adversity,” Mo-field said.

The team overcame two delay of game penalties while inside the 5-yard line. The team also sputtered

twice while in the red zone, fumbled twice and missed two field goal attempts.

Senior place kicker Mi-chael Clinkscales first field goal attempt was called wide right with 2:19 left in the first half, but Mofield questioned the call.

“(The kick) was good and I’ll stand to that until the day I die,” he said. “I stood there and watched it. I know people make mis-takes but you hate to have that cost a team a football game … we’re fortunate that didn’t affect the out-come of the game.”

The second attempt came in the fourth quarter and went wide left after Meade County found themselves on the 2-yard line. The Greenwave had a delay of game penalty, which backed them to the 7-yard line and failed to convert the drive into points.

“We moved the ball pret-ty well, but we just had too many mistakes in the red zone,” Thomas Wilson said. “We got down here twice and came away with nothing. They say (Clink-scales) missed those field goals and I don’t know if he did or not, but we can’t put him in that position. We need to score.”

Anderson County’s wan-ing efforts did come up fruitful toward the end of the game. With 25 seconds left, they capitalized on a defensive backfield mishap to score the final touch-down of the game. During the ensuing kickoff, the Greenwave recovered the onside kick and effectively ran out the remainder of the game clock.

“It was disappointing to let in that last touchdown,” Mofield said. “It was some-thing we’re schooled on not

to do and we did. I have to give our special teams credit they did a great job to seal the game. Coach (Jason) Scott does a great job on pre-paring our special teams.”

The Greenwave will host John Hardin tonight at 7:30 p.m. This is the first time Meade County will play John Hardin after a win since the 2006 playoffs.

“We just have to work like we did last week,” Cundiff said about pre-paring for tonight’s game. “We’re going to have to work harder because we know John Hardin is going to be a tough team.”

Don’t get me wrong, football players, basketball players, baseball players, you name it deserve all the respect they get — they are no jokes when it comes to their skill set.

Speaking of no respect and jokes, triathlons are the butt of jokes on main-stream television. In the HBO series, Eastbound and Down the misan-thropic lead character Ken-ney Powers is a fictitious washed up Major League pitcher — who’s loosely based on baseball’s infa-mous players such as John Rocker, Kenny Rogers and

Roger Clemens. During the show’s pi-

lot a junior high principal says he’s training for a tri-athlon. Powers’ snarky re-mark, “I play real sports … not trying to be the best at exercising,” would make Rodney loosen his tie and sweat profusely. No Re-spect, I tell’ya.

The satirical joke is fun-ny on many levels but as a fan of triathlons and even a beginner triathlete, I find the joke hilarious. In fact to most people, the joke may be lost in the whirlwind of Powers’ other chauvinistic, xenophobic one-liners.

But I am years removed from my physical peak, my football days are long-gone along with my knees. Now I’ve picked up a bike

and started riding, swim-ming does wonders on my knees and the running part … well I get by.

But the Ironman athletes have trained months and maybe even more than year to prepare for one day of en-during pain. Sadistic? Yes. Insane? Yes. Gratifying? Definitely. Unathletic? No.

Despite the lack of re-spect in the professional world, triathlons are grow-ing around the nation and have even hit the small town of Brandenburg.

The Aug. 21 MAC event was a huge success with more than a 100 partici-pants. People of all ages en-joyed the event. The same can’t be said for a football camp — those are left for the youngsters. There’s

not too many 60-year olds competing in football … well, besides Brett Favre.

So with the growth of triathlons maybe a little respect is due. If not then so be it. The people will continue to do it and enjoy the self inflicted pain. We’ll just gripe about it like Rod-ney, I tell’ya.

So the next time you see a runner alongside the road or a cyclist barrel-ing up a steep Kentucky hill or a swimmer tak-ing up lane space, second guess making fun of their mushroom-like bike hel-mets, goofy goggles or un-sightly tight Lyrca shorts. Don’t forget, their sport is most sport’s punishment. That alone deserves some respect.

MEADE COUNTY SCHOOL MENUSSeptember 7 - 10

sophomore defensive spe-cialist Bethany Roberts had an ace and senior Tiffany Filburn had a kill. Meade County outscored the Lady Hornets, 6-3, during the last nine points.

In the second game, Meade County fought back from a 7-4 deficit and went on to win convincingly 25-17.

Though the game was sketchy at times, Meade County controlled the match.

“You know how we are. We’re up and down, up and down,” Smith said about playing down to their oppo-nents. “I told the girls that it’s not worth doing that. If they played like they can play every game they can come in get it done and go home.”

Senior middle hitter Tif-fany Filburn led the team with 14 kills and one block. Junior setter Becca Clark had 24 assists, two kills and an ace, while junior hitter Rachel Powers had eight kills and three aces.

Meade goes 4-2 at tourney

Meade County went 4-2 during last weekend’s West-ern Hills Invitational held at the Frankfort Civic Center.

On Friday the Lady Waves beat Madison Central in three sets Friday night, 18-21, 21-11, 15-11, and Grant County in two, 21-10, 21-5.

During the second day of the tournament on Saturday they went 2-2.

They beat Shelby County 2-0 (21-15, 22-20) and Owen County 2-0 (25-15, 25-6) They lost to Oldham county 2-0 (25-20, 25-20) and South-western 2-0 (21-17, 21-17).

“We played pretty well,” Smith said. “Rachel Powers, Chun and Tiffany Filburn

all played well for us.” Meade County also went

without junior middle hit-ter LeAnna Luney. After turning her ankle during Aug. 19’s match against Grayson County, Luney tried to play in the tourna-ment. Luney was unable to finish one rotation on Sat-urday and sat out the rest of the tournament.

“I let her off a week and she was feeling better,” Smith said. “But just that little bit of jumping took her out.”

Luney officially has a strained ligament in her an-kle and should be back in a week and a half.

Replacing Luney has been sophomore Leah Cannady who moved from outside hitter to middle hitter, Kalanilia Chun and defensive specialist Betha-ny Roberts.

The Lady Waves play at Elizabethtown on Tuesday started at 7 p.m.

head or a foot on the ball,” Miller said. “Lindsey and Kristin are an amazing for-ward team. They know when and where I’m going to put the ball.”

Both Benton and Burchett had three goals in the game. Burchett scored three straight goals during a 12-minute span in the first half. Miller’s two goals came back-to-back during the first 6 minutes of the second half.

“She’s always been a good crosser,” Shook said. “Now she has a good shot too and can score those goals. She has a lot of confidence this year and she’s done a great job.”

Sophomore Allie Backstrom had two goals and an assist, while junior midfielder Megan Presley had a goal.

North Bullitt’s lone goal came during the final minute of the first half. Shook has been concerned about giving up goals late in the halves.

“It’s a little disappointing to let in a goal,” he said. “It seems like we can never get that shutout. I would really like for us to get a shut out for Kiana.”

Senior keeper Kiana Rupe had seven saves in the match.

The Lady Waves played their first dis-trict matchup against North Hardin on Wednesday.

“It’s a first district game and we want to come out with a win,” Miller said. “North Hardin is a tough team. We know it’s not going to be easy. This really sets where we are as a team.”

Results of the match were not available

before press time. Check next week’s is-sue of The News Standard for a full recap of the game.

Meade offense scores bigThe Lady Waves had their offensive

coming out party against Louisville Southern on Aug. 26 and won 11-1.

Meade County scored six of the goals in 12 minutes.

Senior striker Lindsey Burchett — who had no goals leading up to the game — scored four and had an assist. Senior striker Kris-tin Benton followed up her hat trick against Ballard with two goals and two assists.

Freshman Micaela Ray had two goals. Junior midfielders Shelby Miller and Brittany Spencer each had a goal, while junior striker Megan Presley scored.

Senior goalkeeper Kiana Rupe made one save.

BROOKLYN, Mich.—- A typical first impression of Jeff Burton is that he’s got more sense than most race-car drivers. It isn’t to say that racers aren’t intelligent, witty and likable. They are. Burton, however, is thought-ful, reasonable and tactful. Those are the qualities that set him apart.

At 43, Burton is the young-er of South Boston, Va., rac-ing brothers. Ward Burton won five Sprint Cup races in a career that ran from 1994 through 2007, highlighted by the 2002 Daytona 500. Jeff Burton has won 21 times at NASCAR’s highest level.

Perhaps a rivalry among brothers is an excellent breeding ground for tact.

Jeff Burton is one of six driv-ers in the current top 12 — i.e., Chase for the Sprint Cup posi-tion with three regular-season races left — without a victory thus far in 2010. Nonetheless, he ranks seventh in the point standings with four top-five finishes and 12 top 10s.

A year ago, none of Rich-ard Childress Racing’s three drivers made the Chase. This year all three are in position to do so, and Kevin Harvick is the point leader.

“We’ve had to fight to climb back up the hill,” said Burton. “What we have to work on is not getting back down. This is a competitive sport. You’re not always go-ing to be as good as you can be ... You’ve just got to go to

work and not accept failure.”As far as the Chase is con-

cerned, he added, “Number one, you still have to make it. There’s still a lot of racing left to go. Number two, I just believe that this Chase will be like most Chases: You’ve got to run in the front. You have to avoid the bad races.”

With the Chase just three races away, Burton said, “Some people are trying to protect positions. Some peo-ple are trying to go get bonus points. Some people are try-ing to earn their way in. The guys that are in 14th, 15th, they don’t believe they are out of it. They still have a shot.”

Anyone who makes the Chase, of course, has “a shot” at the Sprint Cup championship. A champion-ship would crown Burton’s entire career. He has finished third, fourth, fifth (twice), sixth, seventh and eighth in the Cup standings at various points in his career.

“I hope that we can come down to Homestead,” said Burton, referring to the sea-son finale. “I hope we can be in the midst of it, and it comes down to late in the race. That’s what we do.”

Trivia Test

Paws CornerThe Cat Who Came In From the Fire Escape

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I wanted to tell you a story about the cat who adopted us. In 1930 my brother and I lived with our parents on the fourth floor of a tenement building in the Lower East Side of New York City. We had a fire escape outside the bedroom window of our four-room apartment. In the summer, Mama opened the win-dows wide to let the fresh air in.

It was on one of these hot summer days that a pussycat brazenly came in through the open window. It looked starved, and my broth-er and I begged our parents to let it stay. They agreed. We fed “Cat” bread and milk, and later, scraps from our table. Every evening when my father came home from work, Cat would take a flying leap and land on his shoulder. My father loved the greeting.

After awhile though, Cat started leaving through the window again and coming back a few hours later. She also seemed to get fatter and fatter, until we realized she was pregnant. Cat delivered four babies on towels my mother laid out on the bathroom floor. My mother gave three of the kittens to neighbors and we kept the fourth, an all-white male we named “Whitey.”

Whitey stayed with us through the winter, but by the next spring he got as restless as his mother and started leaving through the fire escape window. One day he went out and never came back again. — Pearl M., Morse Township, N.J.

DEAR PEARL: Things were so different for pets and their owners back then. Pet food was an unheard-of extravagance, and veterinary care was not so common for housepets. Thank you for sharing!

A: I love to be the bearer of good news, as so many of my readers’ favorite shows seem to be getting canceled these days. “Criminal Minds” has been renewed by CBS for its sixth season, and it is set to premiere Wednesday, Sept. 22. Also, if you just can’t get

enough crime solving, mid-season you can catch its spin-

off, “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior,” which is slated to star Forest Whitaker, Richard Schiff and Janeane Garofalo.

Q: When will my favorite show, “Grey’s Anatomy,” be back? And can you give me any teasers as to what’s going to happen? — Ingrid F., via e-mail

A: “Grey’s Anatomy” will be back for its seventh season Thurs-day, Sept. 23, on ABC. When I recently spoke with Kim Raver, who plays Teddy Altman on the medical drama, she told me that her character gets a new love interest.

“I’m pretty sure that the triangle with Teddy, Owen and Kristina is done,” Kim explains. “And while I’m sad for Teddy, because it’s really hard for her, I’m just happy as a fan because the Owen and Kristina story has so much more to explore. I’m glad not to contin-ue it, because otherwise it would have become redundant. It was a great way to establish Teddy. And so in the first couple of episodes you might actually see Teddy kind of having something romantic with a new person. She’s gonna try!”

Q: I watched “The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff” this past month on TV, and I was glad to see a lot of his old “Bay-watch” co-stars there. I did notice a few absences, like David Char-vet. Why didn’t he attend? — Mischa W. in Oregon

A: David and I talked about that when he was promoting his new movie, “The Perfect Teacher,” for the Lifetime Movie Network (check your local listings for days and times). He told me he was invited but chose not to attend. “I love David (Hasselhoff) and re-ally respect him. I know these roasts can get pretty mean, and I just didn’t want to do that to him.” What a class act David is, huh?

Q: I have always enjoyed watching Michael J. Fox, and I won-dered if he’ll be in something else soon? — Debbie K., via e-mail

A: While the actor certainly has limited the number of roles he accepts due to his Parkinson’s disease, Michael still acts here and there. Most recently he was seen as Dwight on “Rescue Me,” and he can be seen this fall in a guest appearance on CBS’ “The Good Wife.” According to CBS, he’ll play a “shrewd and cynical” lawyer who tackles Julianna Margulies’ character in a class-action law-suit.

As it turns out, that quotation did not come from Dr. Heimlich.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Care-ful, Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at one time can cause you to create more snarls each time you try to work your way through the tangled mass. Best to handle one job at a time.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Mak-ing bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. A new relationship shows promise.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Shar-ing credit for a job well done is easy for you to do, but not necessarily for your partner. But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relation-ships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indica-tions should be dealt with before they become too burdensome.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A more posi-tive aspect highlights much of the Virgo’sweek.Youshouldfindothersmore receptive to your suggestions, and also more likely to act on them.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) All work and little play could wear the Libra’s usually positive attitude down. Take some much-needed time off. Perhaps a short jaunt with someone special is the way to go.SCORPIO (October 23 to No-vember 21) This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but ultimately also could be extremely satisfying.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Giving advice to those who just want valida-tion for what they’re doing can be unsettling. So back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially that certain someone.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) Keeping the lines of com-munication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation on which to build an im-portant and meaningful relationship. Stay with it.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perceptive Piscean talents to see what might lie hidden beneath its surface and could possibly cause problems later on.BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a friend who, if you err at all, does so on the side of concern for those you care about.

Submitted by Kentucky Skeet Shooting Association

LOUISVILLE — Fifty-eight of Kentucky’s best skeet shooters gathered Aug. 20-22 at Jefferson Gun Club in Brooks, Ky., to compete in the annual Kentucky Skeet Shooting Association (KSSA) State Championship. The competitors shot it out for three days in five individual events and two cumulative events, with the top awards going to Barkley Lister of Danville, Ky., and Troy Ste-venson of Calvert City, Ky.

Barkley, a member of Pu-laski Outdoorsmen, Inc., was the High Overall (HOA) win-ner with a combined score of 397 out of a possible 400 targets. The HOA score is a combination of 100 targets shot in each of the 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge and .410 bore events. Stevenson, of Happy Hollow Skeet Club, took home the High All-Around (HAA) title with a score of 490 out of a pos-sible 500 targets. The doubles event kicked off the shooting on Friday. Stevenson and Calvert City, Ky., shooter Bart

Redman each broke 98 out of a possible 100 targets in the event, but Redman emerged the winner in a sudden-death shoot-off for the doubles gun champ trophy.

The 12 gauge and 20 gauge events were held Saturday. In the 12 gauge event, Bar-kley and his father, Wayne Lister of Stanford, Ky., tied with Stevenson and Scottie Cantway of Leitchfield, Ky., with perfect scores of 100. The shoot-off came down to an all-Lister match-up, with Barkley outlasting his father for the 12 gauge gun champ award. Ste-venson and Redman returned to the shoot-off round in the 20 gauge event, along with Calvert City, Ky., shooter Ken Ford. The three shooters qual-ified with scores of 99 out of a possible 100. It was Redman who emerged the winner, se-curing his second gun champ title of the shoot.

On Sunday, four shooters opened the day with perfect scores of 100 in the 28 gauge event to advance to a shoot-off. Jeffery Richardson of Hawes-ville, Ky., who logged his first registered perfect score of 100, took home the 28 gauge gun

champ trophy after beating out Rick Corneliusen of Lou-isville and Barkley.

But Barkley managed to nab one last gun champ title with an outright win in the .410 bore event, where he broke a high score of 99 out of a possible 100. Redman, Ford and their fellow Calvert City Gun Club members Mark Marshall of Calvert City, Ky., Billy Smith of Paducah, Ky., and Lonnie Ford of Calvert City, Ky., took home the KSSA Five-Man Team Cham-pionship traveling trophy for posting a combined score in the 12 gauge event of 483 out of a possible 500 targets.

The team’s score was five more than Stevenson and his fellow Happy Hollow Skeet Club members Diane Newton of Benton, Ky., Keith Brummitte of Benton, Ky., Curtis Niedermier of Benton, Ky., and Milton Stevenson of Calvert City, Ky.

The KSSA is a state as-sociation of the National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA). Five KSSA skeet clubs from around the state participated in the 2010 KSSA State Championship.

Submitted by Kentucky Education Cabinet

FRANKFORT — Cel-

ebrate and learn about the language, culture and diversity of the deaf and hard of hearing commu-nity at the ninth DeaFesti-val-Kentucky on Sept. 4 in downtown Horse Cave.

The Kentucky Com-mission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCD-HH) is sponsoring the accessible one-day event that is free to the public because of generous com-munity supporters.

“DeaFestival is a great way to educate those at-tending about the diversi-ty of the deaf and hard of hearing community,” said Governor Steve Beshear. “With more than 8,000 vis-itors expected to attend, DeaFestival generates eco-nomic opportunities for local businesses and pro-

vides a wonderful place to showcase performers and artists.”

DeaFestival 2010 will be a family-friendly event with three primary com-ponents: SpotLights, which features prominent theatrical performers and comedians; a children’s program featuring Ameri-can Sign Language (ASL) in Wonderland and the evolution of communica-tion from cave drawings to wireless technology; and the Jam Tent, which features hip-hop and rock-and-roll dancers and musicians.

In addition, a Visual Artist Venue that includes paintings, sculpture, pot-tery, stained glass, literary works and more will be featured.

Exhibitors and craft/hobbyists will have items for sale. All performances are presented in ASL with

interpretation into spo-ken English provided by highly qualified interpret-ers for those who are not fluent in ASL.

“Hearing loss is grow-ing at an alarming rate and DeaFestival encourages those individuals to have a positive outlook on their future and not feel the loss so much,” said Virginia L. Moore, KCDHH executive director.

“Horse Cave gives us the small-town feel for a big-town event. We pull together the whole com-munity to educate and establish role models for deaf and hard of hearing children and their fami-lies, while encouraging an attitude of can do, rather than can’t do for everyone involved,” said Moore.

In addition, on both Fri-day, Sept. 3, and Saturday, Sept. 4 at 8 p.m. the movie “See What I’m Saying,” Deaf Entertainers Docu-mentary (rated PG-13), will premier at the Ken-tucky Repertory Theater in Horse Cave.

Tickets are $10 each and

can be purchased in ad-vance by contacting the theater at 270-786-2177 or 800-342-2177 or tickets@kentuckyrep.org.

Central Kentucky area attractions such as Mam-moth Cave, Kentucky Down Under, Hidden River Cave and Lost Riv-er Cave are also offering special discounted tours during the weekend with interpreters provided.

“Good educators know that learning is not limited to the confines of a class-room. Immersion into a new culture and a diverse language is a valuable ed-ucational tool. DeaFesti-val provides a wonderful way to develop sensitivity within the general public and an appreciation for the talents of the deaf and hard of hearing communi-ty,” said Joseph U. Meyer, secretary of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet.

The schedule of events, accommodations and di-rections are available online at www.kcdhh.ky.gov.

Stuart Pepper students sing, dance the night away

THE NEWS STANDARD/JENNIFER CORBETT

Stuart Pepper Middle School celebrated the new school year by hosting a Back to School Dance last Thursday. Approximately 485 kids gathered in the school’s caf-eteria to rock out to some current jams from the likes of Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy. The students showcased their inner dancers as they performed the “Cha-Cha Slide,” “Electric Slide,” and “Cotton Eyed Joe.” Many teachers and administrators were in attendance, as well, with some of them even joining the students out on the dance floor.

Seven top students from Meade County named Sen. Green scholarsSubmitted by Tim Ballard

KHEAA

FRANKFORT — Sev-en students from Meade County High School have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars.

Students earn this des-ignation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT.

As Sen. Jeff Green Schol-ars, these students are

eligible for $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards.

Students may earn up to $10,000 toward their higher education expenses if they continue high scholastic achievement in college.

The title honors the late state Sen. Jeff Green of May-fi eld, who served in the Ken-tucky General Assembly from 1992 to 1997.

Local students who earned this prestigious designation

are Kayla Higbee, Emily Ken-dall, Kathryn Renyer, Cyn-thia Smith, Mallory Wathen, Caroline Wilson and Cam-eron Yundt.

KEES awards are funded by net Kentucky lottery pro-ceeds and may be used at most colleges and universi-ties in Kentucky.

In some cases, the award may be used at out-of-state schools if the major the stu-dent is pursuing is not avail-able in Kentucky.

No application is neces-

sary for KEES awards, and students may access their KEES account information on www.kheaa.com. by setting up a zip access account.

To learn how to plan and prepare for higher educa-tion, go to www.gotocollege.ky.gov.
