230 soldiers of 3d Sustainment Command (Exp.) welcomed home after 15-month deployment By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com For some, it was the longest 15 months of their lives. For others, it was the longest 15 minutes of their lives. Nearly 230 soldiers of the 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) filed into Sadowski Field House at Fort Knox Monday afternoon after serving a 15-month deployment in Iraq. As they stood in formation at one end of the gymnasium, soldiers began to swell with tears when they laid eyes on their family members for the first time in a long time. The brief 15-minute welcome home ceremony that separated the soldiers from the arms of their families seemed to drag on for hours, said Spc. Brian Whittaker. “That was the hardest part,” he said, holding his children in his arms. “I was standing there and I could see my wife
and kids and ... they could see me and I was thinking ‘hurry up, hurry up, I want to go hug them.’” After the final congratulations was spoken into the microphone, the bleachers cleared and friends and family rushed the floor, jumping into the arms of their soldiers. The 3d ESC played a critical role during its 15-month stint, providing logistics and distribution of materials to more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Iraq every day. It managed the transition of more than 400 units in and out of theater, orchestrated 559,000 movement requests, issued more than $1.5 billion worth of fuel, accounted for more than $600 million of ammunition and provided other management of key operations with only a few minutes’ notice. The 3d ESC’s motto, “Sustaining the Line” is indicative of its importance in se-
curing necessities — even the basics such as water and mail — to ensure the readiness and success of troops. Kelly Gregerson and her children, Jessica, Jonathan and Grace, waited anxiously for their husband and father, James, to return home. He was able to visit his family during Christmas on rest and relaxation leave, though Kelly said it’s still been difficult with a family so far away. “You kind of just break up into segments,” she said. “You think to yourself, ‘OK, we got through this three months ... we can go another three months.’” Gregerson said she was fairly lucky in that her family was able to speak with James at least every other week via telephone. “It’s hard ... but you just keep thinking about the moment you see him again,” she said. The 3d ESC was one of the last units from Fort Knox to be deployed at the 15-month length, making their homecoming that much more meaningful.

FLAHERTY — A single vehicle accident claimed the life of a Flaherty man at 12:39 p.m. Tuesday. According to Meade County Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick, 55-year-old William B. Juse was traveling southbound on Hwy. 144, near the Meade/Hardin counties line. The 2003 Chevy Blazer left the roadway and struck a tree. Juse was pronounced dead at the scene by Meade County Deputy Coroner James Chism. The investigating officer, Dep. Tim Hendley, said the cause of the accident appears to have been medical in nature. The body was taken to Louisville for autopsy. The Kentucky State Police, Meade County EMS and Flaherty Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene.

Heart transplant patient is on parade to aid children’s research By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com Eight months ago, Bob Beatty became 21 years younger. Beatty, the owner of Muldraugh Trailer Park, received the heart of a 39-year-old during a heart transplant Dec. 16, 2008. “So I went in (to surgery) at 60 (years old) and came out a 39-year-old,” he said. Beatty said one of the things doctors tell patients before
receiving a heart transplant is that there is a tremendous mental adjustment once the surgery is complete. “I laughed at that,” he said. “I told them I’d probably jump off a bridge but I’m scared of water.” Beatty remembered a night after his surgery when his wife left him alone. While she was gone, his mind was turning with crazy ideas and thoughts of things to do — all of them trouble, of course. After all, he
is 21 years younger. “I went out and started cutting grass and I don’t cut grass,” Beatty said. “I cut grass until dark just to keep myself at home because I was ready to go do something.” Prior to surgery, Beatty was told if he didn’t receive a heart, he wouldn’t be going home. “Many people that have a situation like this, they just can’t handle it. They just give up,” he said. “My deal real quick with ‘the Man’ was ‘you
leave me here, I’ll help people — that’s the deal’ ... And the morning I got my heart, I was at total peace.” To take on his deal with “the Man,” Beatty decided to team up with Kosair Shriners Temple. Beatty partnered with a friend, Roger Crist of Irvington, Ky., and both decided to remanufacture a 1932 Ford Roadster to help aid the

NEWS Camp Carlson picnic pays tribute to Wounded Warriors Friday, August 14, 2009
A2 - The News Standard
By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com A sunny afternoon full of fun, good food and good company may not seem like a powerful medicine, but for the 150 soldiers that attended the second annual Wounded Warriors picnic, it was just what the doctor ordered. The event was held Friday afternoon at Camp Carlson, located along Hwy. 60, and was sponsored by the Kentucky Society of Association
Executives. The afternoon featured hot-off-the-grill food, games, live music, the comical entertainment of comedians Mike Armstrong and Tim Wilson and plenty of volunteers that were at the beck and call of the servicemen and women who attended. The picnic was sponsored by Heroes Night Out — a national nonprofit organization that aims to give soldiers “a well deserved break from their everyday routine
while recovering from their injuries.” “This is to give them a day out of the hospital,” said Tom Underwood, a coordinator of the event. “A lot of local groups help put this together ... and in only about a week’s time.” “This is great; it’s pretty awesome,” said Spc. Brad Nuxom. “I think it means a lot to know that people — strangers, really — are thinking about you and what you did.”
gan transplant’ and this fund will grow long after we’re all gone,” he said. “Everybody in the world should want to invite us to their show,” he said, after one of Kentucky’s oldest and largest car shows denied his request to sell tickets at their show. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the purpose. I’m here to help people.” The Louisville native said his purpose for starting the raffle was to help raise organ donor awareness. “People say, ‘Oh, I would never do that’ or ‘I don’t want to sign the back of my driver’s license,’” Beatty said. “But until they need an organ transplant or they know someone dear to them that needs an organ transplant, they don’t understand just how important transplants and transplant research is.” Kosair has started to call the raffle “Bobbie’s parade.” “But it’s not my parade,” he said. “Everyone that’s bought a ticket, it’s their parade. I’ve had all the glory I need in life. This is not about Bob Beatty. This is about a purpose and reason in helping others.” During the Roadster giveaway in November guests will be presented
with free hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar and southern Indiana’s karaoke DJ Ron Hanger. Beatty has met a lot of people during his Roadster endeavor, and likes to introduce himself as “Bob Beatty, probably the nicest man in the world.” “A lady asked, ‘do you really believe that?’” he said. “And I said, ‘No, but that’s who I want to be so that’s the reason I tell everybody that. “By the way I’ve named my heart, ‘Ernie,’” Beatty said, with a serious face. “Ernie doesn’t go anyplace without me. We’ve really become attached.” Even after the Roadster is raffled away Nov. 20 at Kosair Shriners Temple, located at Second and York in Louisville, Beatty’s journey to help others won’t be over quite yet “The mayor of New Albany, Ind., has already said that if I want to have a huge car show next year in the city, he’ll block the city off like they do for Harvest Homecoming,” he said. For more information or to purchase tickets, call Beatty at 502-592-6860 or call Kosair Shrine Temple at 502-585-5412. To see photos of the Roadster visit www. kosair.com.

Lally followed by Command Sergeant Major Willie C. Tennant Sr. Upon their return home Monday, soldiers were granted two days to spend with their families, then they took part in a five-day-long
reverse SRP (Suitability Review Panel) process that entailed briefings, records reviews and medical processing. Today, soldiers from the 233rd Transportation Co. will be honored at their welcome home ceremony on post.

Immediately after my election, when I was compiling my team of advisers, I knew that finding the right person to lead the Transportation Cabinet would be particularly critical, given the Cabinet’s size, its important mission and its reputation at times for problems with corruption. That is why I hired Joe Prather. A former state legislator and successful businessman who has a reputation for honesty, Joe embraced the charge I set out: to clean up the cabinet, to take better care of tax dollars and to provide leadership worthy of the thousands of conscientious, career transportation employees who dedicate themselves to their work every day. With a budget of more than $2 billion, the transportation cabinet builds and repairs roads, bridges and transportation corridors throughout this state, a responsibility essential to the economic well-being and safety of our people. Since December 2007, Joe has succeeded in changing the culture at the Cabinet in two significant ways. One, decisions are being made for the right reasons. Cronyism is no longer the governing philosophy. Engineering no longer gives way to politics. Transparency reigns. And self-serving decision-making has been

But even if these parents win, not all families can hire lawyers. What about their choices, or even more important, their kids? It’s time for the Legislature and governor to ensure that parents — not school boards, teachers unions, or central-office bureaucrats who offer “managed choice” — decide what’s best for their children. Yes, by their very nature, surveys offer limited insight. But this one clearly shows school choice enjoys wide bipartisan support with even more Democrats favoring charter schools than Republicans (55 percent to 54 percent). A majority of middle-class and low-income households support it, too. The anti-choice forces face a hard time “managing” this news.

Taxpayers should know we are making best use of every dollar. Let me detail a few: Reduced undue influences: •We have made it clear to all that political contributions would not be a factor in contract awards. •We abolished the network of deputies in each highway district who reported directly to the Secretary’s office. This system was created under a previous administration to consolidate political power and influence. Increased competitive bidding: •We have opened bidding to both asphalt and concrete surfaces where feasible. •We have packaged projects to cross county lines where feasible — meaning distance would not confer advantage or allow for monopolies. As a result of these and other changes, the Department of Highways has increased the number of competitive bids it receives by 25 percent, helping to lower costs and ensure the integrity of the process.

But even more outrageous: Bureaucrats assigned this youngster to Shelby Elementary, a school that flunked “No Child Left Behind” requirements over a four-year period. In fact, because of its track record, the school achieved Tier 3 status and must give parents of children attending it the option of transferring. Yep, JCPS bureaucrats at the central office force Louisville families to send kindergartners to a school that has been such a failure its own students qualify to transfer. This stuff happens when choices get “managed” rather than granted. A judge has denied the parents’ request for an injunction to keep the school district from carrying out this ill-advised plan.

PERIODICAL POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION
Dear citizens of Meade County, We appreciate the Meade County Planning & Zoning’s (P&Z) decision to proactively ask to re-zone the Meade County Quarry site located at 2595 Big Bend Road in Battletown. This decision by the fiscal court represents the growing need for this project to bring much-needed jobs and tax revenue to your county. We also sincerely appreciate all citizens who have continued to support our efforts. As we approach our re-zoning hearing on Aug. 20, we want to address several things that have been circulating throughout the “grapevine:” It is TRUE that Meade County Quarry (MCQ) will create roughly 25 generational jobs within your community over the next few years that will enhance the financial security of your families, as well as the overall well-being of the community. It is TRUE that P&Z initiated the recent zoning change (from agricultural to industrial) on Aug. 20; in light of MCQ’s valid non-conforming use (operating as a quarry with permits), the P&Z board noted that “the current agricultural zoning is no longer appropriate.” It is TRUE that valid surface mining permits have been issued and approved by the state. Kentucky is very thorough in its permitting process and requires all miners to adhere to a very lengthy evaluation process, which includes detailed ecological and environmental standards. MCQ has passed this evaluation process and begun exploratory blasting. It is NOT TRUE that we will be selling by road or operating anywhere visible from the road. We will be selling by barge and operating by the river. It is NOT TRUE that MCQ ever wanted to perform crushing off site (to somehow keep tax revenue from the county). Anyone familiar with the quarry business would tell you that doing so wouldn’t make operational sense. This rumor is entirely false. For over a year, MCQ has patiently shown sincere interest in bringing these 25 jobs and significant tax revenue to your county. Our rezoning request from almost a year ago (8/21/08) clearly shows this intent. MCQ is appreciative that your county officials have now formally asked to rezone this property to keep both the jobs and tax revenue in Meade County. It is NOT TRUE that MCQ has done anything improper in pursuing permitting and zoning in your county. The state would never have provided MCQ with surface mining permits had there been anything improperly done. We have, and always will, act with integrity and honesty. Anyone who has interacted with us would attest to the fact that we have conducted ourselves professionally and in an attempt to build a positive, long-term relationship with your county. We strongly encourage all citizens to verify these facts for themselves. All of these facts can be verified by various state permitting agencies. You’re also encouraged to attend our hearing on Aug. 20 at 6 p.m. if you’re interested in more jobs, needed tax revenue, continued progress in your community and want a say in how your county governs and taxes its citizens. Our team will be there taking resumes and speaking about job opportunities at 6 p.m. We look forward to strengthening our relationships with Meade County and thank you in advance for your continued support.

Dear Editor, I am writing because Jeff Johnson’s letter to the editor mischaracterized what I wrote in my letter last April. He said that I described the “Tea Party” protests as “childish-acting people marching with inane signs ...” I was describing protests in general with this statement, not the Tea Parties in particular. Of the Tea Parties I wrote, “The symbolism of the Boston Tea Party ... sets the right tone for what we need to do.” I am all for the Tea Party. But let’s face it. An unruly mob throwing tea in Boston’s harbor is nothing but a local news story and fodder for Boston’s gossipers. It accomplishes nothing by itself and is not an historically relevant event. So why is it in the history books? It’s there because of what came next. After the government in power did not listen to this protest, the people picked up their guns and overthrew that government. They actually DID SOMETHING about it. Our Tea Party is meaningless unless we react if our government doesn’t listen. Fortunately, we need only to pick up a ballot instead of a gun to accomplish this. So what are YOU going to do next? Mr. Johnson is using his talents and skills to found The Kentucky Patriots, to defend and preserve our Constitution. Perhaps you can contact him at jeffjohnson@ispky.com and support him in this. You can contact your congressman and let him/her know they will not keep that job if they vote for government run health care or any other program that will impinge on your right to choose for yourself. Whatever you do, don’t return home from your Tea Party feeling that you have done all you need to do.

Fire district selects apparatus to replace engine No. 42 By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
On Aug. 3, the Meade County Fire Protection District (MCFPD) Board of Trustees held a special meeting to make an executive decision about which fire apparatus to purchase to replace engine No. 42. Engine No. 42 was totaled in June when it rolled on to its side while responding to a car accident, injuring the five firefighters inside. The board was presented with two final options at its regular monthly meeting held July 27 — a Rosenbaurer, costing about $262,000, and
a Ferreira costing $346,000. Those vehicles were elected after several days of research done by the fire apparatus committee — a committee comprised of fire chief Larry Naser and five other firefighters. Naser said both met three pertinent criteria: quick and safe response times, the capability of seating five first responders and the ability to carry 2,000 gallons of water. He said the reason for the strict requirements is an apparatus that carries more water and passengers, has lower insurance, which in turn saves the district’s taxpayers money.
The board ultimately selected the Rosenbaurer, which is built on a commercial chassis nearly identical to engine No. 42’s cab. Board members, however, were concerned of another loan the district is still paying and felt that it should be paid in full before financing an additional apparatus. “At first, the board thought it might be best to pay off our existing loan on our 2006 Seagrave before purchasing a new fire apparatus,” Naser said. The district still owes a little more than $195,000 on the vehicle and the issue was only discussed briefly before
being ruled out. “The big problem is, if we pay everything off, that cuts our cash reserve back to the bare bones,” Naser said. “We don’t want to get to the point where every dime goes to pay for fire vehicles because we’re trying to maintain enough cash on-hand to keep maintenance up on the vehicles and other needs.” The MCFPD also submitted an application for the third consecutive year to receive grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Naser submitted a letter to Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and Sen. Mitch McConnell ex-
plaining the engine No. 42 accident and the dire need for a replacement engine. “We have heard back from Brett Guthrie saying he submitted the letter along with a letter of support to FEMA,” Naser said. He said the fire department has not heard anything from FEMA, “but in the world of FEMA, no news is good news.” The district expects to hear from FEMA by October. The board gave permission for chairman Martin Bosemer and vice chairman T. Parker to research the best financing opportunities available. Once the decision is made how MCFPD will finance
the apparatus, Naser will contact Rosenbaurer to begin construction on the engine immediately. He said after the chassis is built — which can take up to 90 days — the district should receive the apparatus within 100 days. In other MCFPD news: •At the July 27 meeting, Bosemer announced the resignation of trustee Mike Curl. Curl’s reasons for leaving his position were not discussed. He has since then notified Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft and Bosemer saying he would like to revoke that decision and remain a board member.

At July’s meeting, Chris McGehee, owner of the Brandenburg Inn, submitted a business application for the Inn to be operated as a bed and breakfast. The Inn planned to work in conjunction with the Basket House — a historical home located across the street — which would lodge “A Special Occasion,” an event-planning business. Problems arose when Pace informed council that the Basket House is zoned R-3, for multi-family residential, not commercial, use. The issue was tabled so Pace could contact McGehee about the confliction. Mattingly, operator of the Brandenburg Inn, was initially going to use the Inn as a bed and breakfast, but had the original application omitted and reapplied for the Inn to accommodate large events — such as weddings — since the Inn is zoned commercial. The Basket House would then be used strictly as a bed and breakfast, which, according to zoning laws, is legal. A motion to un-table the business license application was approved unanimously. Before discussion began, Pace explained the Brandenburg Inn had formerly been a business; therefore, the application was for a license renewal. He also clarified his understanding of McGehee’s intentions. “(McGehee’s) whole idea was he wanted to keep the Basket House as the bed and breakfast, but he wanted to use the (Brandenburg Inn) as a commercial side and I said, ‘That’s exactly the way it’s zoned now,’” Pace said. Brown asked if a large

event was held at the Inn and there was an overflow of guests, could they be sent to the Basket House. “No,” Pace said. “Now, if people are just staying the night for a bed and breakfast, then that meets the criteria of what it’s set up for.” Ray asked if a guest paid for a room at the bed and breakfast could he or she hold a wedding if the business was not responsible for any entertainment, seating or catering. “If (customers) rent a room, are they allowed to have a function there and is there a statute that shows that?” Ray asked. Councilman Bruce Fackler explained that the R-3 zoning law restricts any large overflow of guests or events on the property. Ray requested the staff be provided with a list of rules stating what is acceptable. Pace asked that planning and zoning representative Ronnie Reinsheld and administrator Lee Klockow — who were both present — supply Ray with a copy of the zoning law and a list of services permitted by a bed and breakfast. “All we’re going to do is give you a definition of what a bed and breakfast is because we don’t have it in our ordinance,” Klockow said. “The definition of a bed and breakfast is someone who stays one or two nights, eats breakfast and then leaves.” “I just want to see what we’ve got to work with and whatever it is we’ll abide by it 100 percent,” Ray said. Pace explained that if the Basket House allowed its guests to hold weddings and other large events, then council would be required to consider nuisance restrictions for bands or anything else that could cause disturbance to neighbors; there-
fore, the definition of a bed and breakfast is all the business can be operated under. Ray informed council that “A Special Occasion” has since moved back to its prior location next to WMMG radio station. After discussion, Fackler asked city clerk Molly Janes to note in the meeting’s minutes that the previous application was withdrawn for the Brandenburg Inn. Councilman Ronnie Joyner made a motion to approve the current business license application for the Brandenburg Inn, which was seconded by Carol Nelson and approved unanimously. Pace requested the Basket House staff submit a separate application for the bed and breakfast to be approved. In other council news: •Council unanimously reappointed Bobby Skaggs to the planning and zoning committee. •Council voted in favor of submitting a letter of support on behalf of the Meade County/Brandenburg Riverport Authority’s sanitary sewer project for a Kentucky Infrastructure Authority grant. Pace said after he and public works director TJ Hughes attended a joint meeting with the authority and Meade County Fiscal Court, he better understood what the requirements were for the project and it was made clear that the lines would be domestic. “From that meeting we got a lot of our questions answered,” Pace said. Pace said the city will not commit to taking over operation of the pumps until the Riverport Authority determines which type of pump will be used, stating it would be beneficial for the project to include pumps similar to the ones the city uses.

Your daughter is aware of her sudden defiance, and she’s waiting to see how far you will let her go. If you don’t discourage disrespectful behavior now, you can expect some wild experiences during the adolescent years to come. With regard to your concern about emotional ventilation, you are right in saying your daughter needs to express her anger. She should be free to say anything to you provided it is said in a respectful manner. It is acceptable to say, “I think you love my brother more than me,” or “You weren’t fair with me, Mommy.” There is a thin line between what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior at this point. The child’s expression of strong frustration, even resentment and anger, should be encouraged if it exists. You certainly don’t want her to bottle it inside. On the other hand, you should not permit your daughter to resort to name-
calling and open rebellion. “Mom, you hurt my feelings in front of my friends” is an acceptable statement. “You stupid idiot, why didn’t you shut up when my friends were here?!” is obviously unacceptable. If approached rationally, as described in the first statement, it would be wise for the mother to sit down and try to understand the child’s viewpoint. She should be big enough to apologize to the child if she was wrong. If she feels she was right, however, she should calmly explain why she reacted as she did and tell the child how he or she can avoid a collision next time. It is possible to ventilate feelings without sacrificing parental respect, and the child should be taught how to do it. This communicative tool will be very useful later in life, especially in a possible future marriage.

St. Theresa Church hosts annual picnic The heat couldn’t beat hundreds of supporters Saturday who traveled to St. Theresa Church in Rhodelia for the annual St. Theresa Church Picnic. The picnic boasted fun, games, food and entertainment for everyone, from 50-cent horse rides and cake wheels, to ping-pong, star dart, bingo, poker and much more. All proceeds collected at the event
were given to the church. However, the largest fundraiser, according to Karen Money, is the annual auction presented at the end of the day’s festivities. The auction, which brings is an average of $10,000 a year, was organized by Money and displayed a wide array of items such as furniture, pianos, toys, interior décor and much more — all of which are donated.

CLOCKWISE: Spectators cool off in the shade with a game of Bingo. Children enjoyed 50-cent horse rides, which have been provided by Mark Popham, of Rhodelia, and his family for nearly 10 years at St. Theresa’s Church Picnic. A line of hungry church supporters file out the door of the church cafeteria.
Where is God when you need Him? Jeremiah 17:14–15 says, “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise. Indeed they say to me, “ Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now!” (NKJV) Where is God when you need Him? Certainly, many of us hesitate to ask such a question out of fear that we would anger God in some way. But it is not in the accusation of unfaithfulness that the sincere believer will utter these words. At times, it is in pure desperation. Perhaps the desperation comes from lying in a hospital bed another day. Or it could be a loved one who is in trouble

A ‘Summer’ fling leaves audience smiling
500 Days of Summer / Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel / PG-13
An inventive take on an old movie standby, “500 Days of Summer” is a boymeets-girl tale with a fresh twist. The boy, in this case, is Tom, a writer for a small Los Angeles greeting-card company. The girl is Summer, the new office assistant, a recent L.A. transplant for whom Tom falls head over heels. Tom is smitten, but Summer isn’t — or is she? She’s maddeningly difficult to read, constantly keeping Tom guessing. She’s not a tease, but a mystery. Like the season for which she’s named, their relationship (the 500 days of the title) doesn’t last. But the movie lets you know that up front. First-time director Marc Webb brings his music-video and TV-commercial background into zestful play with a quirky chronological shuffle of the events, toggling back and forth to various out-of-sequence points in the relationship from Tom’s perspective. Because the movie “sees” things through Tom’s eyes, we’re treated to several

scenes that defy normal movie conventions as they reflect his feelings at a particular moment. After his first night with Summer, he breaks into a full-on moviemusical number choreographed to the Hall & Oates hit “You Make My Dreams Come True,” with every pedestrian he meets on the street joining in. One scene, presented in split-screen, shows the heart-tugging differences in Tom’s “expectations” and the “reality” of a social encounter. Tom projects himself into the impressionistic, blackand-white gloom of an arty French film he watches during an emotional low. It all makes for a unique and totally exhilarating movie experience, unlike
anything else you’ll see this year — and giving a shot of redemption to the genre of “romantic comedy,” which has always been a tricky recipe to pull off successfully. But this one soars, and much of its buoyancy comes from its two wonderful leads. Joseph Gordon-Levitt all grown up from his childstar days as little Tommy on TV’s “Third Rock From the Sun,” positively glows with infectious charm as Tom. He totally pulls you into his journey of yearning, exuberance, confusion, hurt and heartbreak — just not necessarily in that order. Neil Pond is the entertainment writer for American Profile.

Signing Their Lives Away, by Denise Kiernan & Joseph D’Agnese (Book)
Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams. Almost everybody knows the “famous” signers of the Declaration of Independence. But what about all the other men who risked everything to put their names on America’s birth certificate? This lively little volume shines the spotlight on all 56 statesmen, soldiers,
slaveholders and scoundrels, with details about their often-surprising fates after the ink was dry. Plus, the book cover itself unfolds into a large reproduction of the historic document. Confessions of a Shopaholic (DVD) Isla Fisher stars in this lighthearted Disney romantic romp as an out-ofcontrol spender who takes a job writing a magazine column — on living frugally, ironically — to help pay off her mounting credit-card debt. Will her secret shopping life, and the bill collector, catch up with her before she can clean up her act and win the heart of her hunky boss (Hugh Dancy)? A strong supporting cast, including John Goodman, John Lithgow, Lynn Redgrave and “Saturday Night Live’s” Fred Armisen, add to the chuckles. Extras include bloopers and deleted scenes.

WARNING Over 450 acres of forest and farmland are at risk for construction in northern Meade County. In an area already congested with three surface quarries within 5 miles of each other, yet another is attempting to begin operations. The negative impacts on the environment, our health, and future land use will be felt by the entire county for generations to come. See for yourself. Drive to the northern aspect of Meade County, from Battletown, Paradise Bottom, Big Bend and Wolf Creek. This devastation could occur in any part of the county but it affects each and every one of us. Think about this.

County’s newest credit union offers money-saving services By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
Meade County has a new credit union in town, “where you’re not just a number and a face, you’re an owner and a friend,” as its slogan goes. Doe Run Federal Credit Union (DRFCU) opened its doors to the community on June 29, shortly after receiving its community charter, which allowed it to offer services to people who live, work, worship or attend school in Meade County, as well as people who are relatives of members, businesses and other legal entities. The credit union — located in Brandenburg across from Brandenburg City Hall — is member-owned and first got its start in 1979 when Olin Chemicals opened a small, private branch for hundreds of employees, retirees and members of their family. “When (DRFCU) first started, they were only able to offer savings accounts and small loans,” said manager Tammy Weick. Now the establishment offers an abundance of services, from IRA accounts and free checking accounts to savings accounts, boat, automobile, RV and motorcycle loans, personal and home equity loans, debit cards and certificates of deposits. The institution is not yet a full-service credit union, but intends to be in the future with hopes of adding mortgage loans, online banking and even offering a second location. DRFCU strives for convenience and simplicity offering two drive-through stations and a night drop box. “We’re here to help (our members),” Weick said “We try to make things simple to where you can understand because it’s impor-
tant for you to understand what we’re trying to do … when it comes to loans and investments.” When the branch opened, it had nearly 1,000 members. Weick said membership status has grown tremendously and the credit union’s goal is to continue that growth. DRFCU is federally insured by the National Credit Union Association for up to $250,000 for all its members, something Weick said is important for current and perspective members to be aware of. The organization also pays for their members to have loan protection for up to $40,000, but some restrictions may apply. Interest rates on the credit union’s loans are so low Weick said if their members find a lower interest rate, DRFCU will match it, but “we will not match 0 percent financing, of course.” The organization boasts four local employees, three full-time and one part-time, who all say they are proud to be Meade Countians and are proud to serve their community. “I love the members,” Weick said. “(DRFCU is) so family-oriented … we know them all by their first names. Meade County is home to us.” “We enjoy saving people money when it comes to loans or refinancing,” said teller Tonya Hardesty. “I enjoy everything for the most part — the job, the members, I love it all, but most importantly I’m proud to know our members on a personal basis.” Weick, who is a 1997 graduate of Meade County High School, said oftentimes DRFCU employees will see many of their members at school functions where their children are involved in various sports and extra-curricular activities.

Doe Run Federal Credit Union employees pose outside the new building. DRFCU opened its doors to the public June 29. Employees are (from left to right): Audrey Straney, Tonya Hardesty, Kathy Morgan and Tammy Weick. All four employees — Hardesty, Kathy Morgan, Weick and Audrey Straney — are sent to training courses and other seminars to further their knowledge and experience in various services offered by credit unions. “The one thing I think is important for members as well as potential members to know is that your money is yours,” said Morgan, who is a teller. “When you deposit your money, it’s there. You don’t have to wait two or three days for it to be in your account.” And each staff member is a member of DRFCU as well. “Not only are we employees of the credit union, we’re members of the credit union, and we take people’s consideration and input into our jobs,” Weick said. “We will try to work with anybody because like us we want this place to survive. Our money is invested too.”

The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team looked fairly rusty during their season opener. Without star player junior Tiffany Filburn, the team was disjointed in its 2-1 loss to the John Hardin Bulldogs during Tuesday’s match. “I think it was a big transition for the girls and getting used to not playing with her,” said first-year head coach Jennifer Smith. “I think they played a lot better than they did on Saturday during the scrimmage.” The Lady Waves played
in a round-robin scrimmage last weekend where Filburn tweaked her knee and sat out the rest of the day. On Tuesday, Filburn and the team were still waiting for her MRI results, unsure how severe the injury was. “Hopefully she wont be out for very long,” Smith said. “We just want her healthy … the sooner the better.” The team went on without Filburn, but certainly looked like they lost their edge when they found themselves down 7-3 in the first set against John Hardin. The Lady Waves dug themselves out of a 20-12 deficit to tie the game 24-24 — al-

The future is now for Meade County Lady Waves’ soccer head coach Dan Shook. Three years ago Shook kept an unprecedented 15 sophomores on his soccer squad. Now, with the army of classmates only whittled to 13, they’re taking the field in their senior year … and expectations are high. “Well, that’s what everyone is telling me,” Shook said about the team’s high outlook. “I think (keeping that many players) was a surprise to a lot of people. I don’t really feel any pressure though. I know people are thinking that this should be a great year — and it should. And as coaches we’re trying as hard as we can to make sure it’s a good year. “One thing I like that they have

though they could never get the lead over the Bulldogs and eventually lost, 26-24. “I think we were both nervous and excited to begin the season,” said senior setter Kelcie McCoy. “ I think that kind of got to us in the beginning (against John Hardin).” Meade County bounced back in the second set taking an early 7-5 lead. That was the closest John Hardin would get to the Lady Waves as they rolled on to win 25-17. “We realized that we had to pull it together in the second game,” McCoy said. “We did look pretty good.”

is a strong desire to play. They are all good players. This year the overall atmosphere is just great. It’s really pleasant out there.” The core of the group formed during their seventh grade year when they became the first class in Meade County history to be eligible to play that early. Those added six years of experience has given them an edge on many teams they’ll face. “I think we have developed these team bonds with each other,” Shook said. “Of course, you’re going to have team problems here and there, but overall this team knows each other and knows how to play soccer with each other. I think it’s a very positive thing for the girls so far.” The 13 seniors will now take the reign of their final year together. “It’s weird that we’re at the top now,” said senior Lindsey Andrews. “We’re used to having someone older than us.

Returning players key to controlling tempo By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com This year the Meade County Greenwave soccer team’s success will all depend on tempo. Luckily the Greenwave returns seniors such as forward Zack Brown, midfielder Logan Raley, defender Gabe Buttram and goalkeeper Jordan Compton — all who can handle
the ball very well and command the middle of the field. “It’s key for us,” Greenwave head coach Matt Pollock said about controlling the ball. “We don’t have a lot of just straight up speed. So it’s nice to use those guys and control the center of the field and help us maintain our tempo.” After losing seven players to graduation — six were starters — the team has some holes to fill, though remains fairly experienced.

Youth league serves as lifeblood to varsity program By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com Youth leagues are the foundation of any successful sports program. As far as the Greenwave football program goes, it has one of the best and affordable youth programs Meade
County children can join. “It’s the life blood of our program,” said Glen Wilson, assistant varsity coach and coordinator of the youth leagues. “We want to have the kids learn the fundamentals and start to develop players that are going to be out there on Friday night. Football is a
big deal in Meade County so a lot of people in the community support this.” Tomorrow will be the last day to sign up at the Meade County High School lobby for the fall league that is open from grades second through sixth. Flag football is played
in grades second through fourth, while tackle football is grades fourth through sixth — fourth graders have the option of playing flag or joining tackle for the first year. Costs for the league is $30 for the first child and $20 for additional children from the same immediate family.
The league fee includes a helmet, shoulder pads, and a jersey for tackle football players and a jersey and mouthpiece for flag football players. “Our sponsors are great and really supportive of the program,” Wilson said.

Pictured above is the Meade County Greenwave JV and Varsity soccer team. The varsity team looks to contend for a District 10 Championship this year.
Tempo From page B1 “We’re glad we don’t have to rebuild an entire team back,” Pollock said. “We have some good quality seniors coming back. Everyone contributed significantly last year.” The team only managed to score 31 goals last year, but Brown, the returning highscorer for the Greenwave, feels the offense has become the Greenwave’s best weapon. “We’re looking really strong,” he said. “I think our strikers and midfielders look really good … We’d like to score 50-plus goals this year as a team.” Alongside Brown is senior forward Charlie Backstrom. “Charlie (Backstrom) has really good speed and Zack (Brown) is just a great finisher,” Pollock said. “Hopefully those two can really work some stuff off of each other and create some good scoring opportunities for us.” The midfield is the deepest part of the Greenwave team, which went 11-7-2 and lost to Elizabethtown, 1-0, in the district semifinal game last year. The focal point of the team is returning captain Raley, while senior Quintin Franke and senior Matt Buckman both will see playing time in the center-midfield position. “(Franke and Buckman) have both really shown a lot of improvement,” Pollock said. “It’s their senior year and they really have come along well.” “I think this will be one of our better years this year,” Franke said. “We have a lot of guys that can sub in and give us some depth.” Other players that will see time in the midfield include junior Cody Clement, junior Cody Shain and junior Jeremy Hardesty. Junior Kurtis Clark has been going back and forth from midfield to forward during the preseason and Pollock is still unsure where he’ll play the most. “Really we don’t know where he’ll be for sure,” Pollock said of Clark. “We’ll just have to see how things progress.” Meade County suffered its biggest losses in the backfield to graduation. With players such as Jordan Wise and Ryan Fackler, the Greenwave defense only gave up 26 goals last year. This year, the team will have to replace those two defensive pillars with athletes who have very little experience. However, the team does return District 10 defensive player of the year, Buttram, and goalkeeper Compton. “We need to step up on the defensive end,” Pollock said. “We’re going to have to play some guys that are young and not as confident out there. But we
have leaders out there like Jordan Compton. He really needs to be the team leader back there and be vocal. This is his senior year; I’m sure he’ll step it up for the defense. And of course having Gabe (Buttram) is a good anchor for us.” Compton mirrored Pollock’s concern with his leadership role in the goalie box, but also knows that Buttram has his back. “I’m not the loudest guy on the field,” he said. “But I need to let my defense know what’s going on out there. We lost Jordan Wise and Ryan Fackler, which are two huge losses for us. Gabe (Buttram) is a great teammate to have back there. That’s one thing that makes up for my lack of vocals out there. He’s the guy out there always yelling and communicating. He doesn’t stop talking during the game.” Other defensive players include senior Chad Medley and junior D. J. Spurlock. Junior Ethan Madison will shore up the stopper spot because of his physical presence. “He has some good height and size for us so he can stop up that middle and do some preventive attacks,” Pollock said. Backing up Compton in the goal is junior Logan Griffith. “He’s looking pretty good,” Pollock said praising the new goalie. “He’ll probably see some time early on and get some experience. We’ll need that because keepers are in situations where they can get hurt pretty easily. You hate to lose a keeper and not have another guy.” With eight seniors and a skilled junior crew the team is prepared to continue its success in the 10th District where rivals such as John Hardin and Elizabethtown are top contenders. “Our goal is to win district and go to region every year,” Raley said. “John Hardin and (Elizabethtown) are going to be good like they are every year, but I think we can go out there and really get a district title this year.” A district title and bid to the region tournament would be extra nice for this group of players since they have experienced some heartbreak during the past few years. “One thing that’s on all of the juniors’ and seniors’ minds is those losses,” Pollock said. “They always remember what’s happened the year before. I can’t count on my hand how many times we’ve been so close to being in the district finals or winning the finals. It’s always one goal in the last minute.” So far in the early season the team has worked on mental toughness to avoid those late game-breaking goals. “We have spent a lot of the first part of the preseason on being mentally tough and not breaking down those last few minutes,” Pollock

added. “We want to play the whole 80-minute game.” The Greenwave have plenty of time to prepare since their season doesn’t start until Aug. 25 against Corydon Central in Indiana. — while opening day for the state was on Monday. Because of scheduling the team has several scrimmages lined up, but is chomping at the bit to get out and play an actual game.
“It’s tough to stay motivated knowing that guys are out there playing games and we’re just here practicing and banging up on each other,” Raley said. “It will be a lot better to get out there and start banging on someone else for a change.” As soon as the season starts for the Greenwave their schedule is packed full. There is a seven-day span where the team will play five games. The
team will also face the bulk of its district play — including North Hardin, Elizabethtown and Central Hardin — in the first half of September. Eleven of its 16 scheduled games will be played next month. “Once we get going it’s going to be pretty intense,” Pollock said of the schedule. “We have two or three games a week. That will keep us busy. We also jump right into district games which are key for
the tournament seeding.” Though the schedule is jam-packed in September and the team has some vacancies left to fill, fans should expect another competitive year because of the team’s talent. “I think we are right where we always are and we’re competitive,” Pollock said. “It’s just a different team from last year. We still have to learn how to win games and what’s going to work for us.”

year we have to think that after this season we’re done, it’s over with … That’s hard to think about.” Coming off an 8-10 record last year — including a first-round playoff overtime thriller victory over North Hardin — the team returns eight starters and a plethora of help off the bench. “We have a lot of depth no matter what position we’re talking about,” Shook said. “If we have injuries, too, I feel good enough to dig down to JV and get some of those players some playing time.” With the majority of the team returning this fall, Shook worked in a 3-4-3 scheme last season, which allowed an extra offensive attacker. Now the team has become more accustomed to the intricacies of the system and looks to become an offensive threat. “It leaves our defense a little thin,” Shook said. “So it depends a lot on our outside wing players where they can come back and play defense. That’s where our speed will come in and help.” Shook added that the team’s overall speed is one of its biggest strengths, alongside the teams conditioning. The team won’t play its new offense all the time, however, and will revert to a more traditional 4-4-2 lineup from time to time. “We worked on it in (last weekend’s) alumni game and they looked good,” Shook said. “They look comfortable out there. If the girls really adapt to it maybe it will become our main system of play.” The offense will be led by a group of aggressive strikers: seniors Allie Bogard, Chelsea Fotchman and Paige Long. Also junior Kristin Benton and sophomore Shelby Miller could see some time at the position. “Our strikers up top are really strong,” Shook said. “They are all returning and put up five goals against (North Hardin during the opening district tournament game last year). I think they have that instinct to attack and score a lot of goals this year.” The outside midfielders will consist of seniors Rebecca Hail, Johnna Woodward and Alexis Hobbs. Shook felt that Hobbs has really become motivated to

improve her centering passes during her final year. “Alexis has really improved this year,” he said. “She really wanted to get better with her crosses and I think she has done that.” Benton may also see some time at the midfield position because of her speed and a strong left foot, according to Shook. “We can use (Benton) in a lot of places,” he said. “We’ll also move up Miller from the JV team. She is fast and can shoot. She can get up and down the field very well.” The center midfielders may be the strongest part of the Lady Waves. Senior Lindsey Andrews anchors the middle of the field and is considered to be one of the best players in the area. “Every coach is impressed with her,” Shook said. “She’s just a great soccer player. She manages the ball very well and she has a good feel of the game. She can shoot well and she’s one of our fastest girls.” Senior Sherry Pike also returns for Meade County after suffering a season-ending foot injury last year. “She’s come back for her senior year and really looks good on the field,” Shook said. “So we’re glad to have her back and healthy.” Other players who will see time at the midfield position are junior Lindsey Burchett and senior Kelly Eden. “(Burchett) has a chance to break into the starting position,” Shook said. “It’s still up in the air on many of the spots, but whoever’s coming off the bench this year is not far behind the starter. That’s a good thing and that shows how much depth we have.” Senior Joy Straney will lead the defensive side of the ball. “She’s been one of girls that have been with us since seventh grade,” Shook said. “She’s one of the hardest working girls on the team that battles hard all the time.” The defense won’t be at full strength for the first part of the season because fullback Marissa Mooreman is out until the end of the month due to a severe foot injury, but ready to go are Emily McMurry, junior Erin Benton and senior Kelsie Stull at the stopper position. New to the goaltender position is junior Kiana Rupe. She has some big shoes to fill after the graduation of Stephanie Menser. To add to the apprehension of a new keeper came a concussion Rupe suffered during team camp. Shook
was worried as she sat out of practice for three weeks. “I was a little concerned about her getting back,” he said. “I think she’s got room for improvement. She didn’t play much last year so she’s going to have to grow into that role. We have to make sure that she’s not intimidated, because she is younger.” Sophomore Ashley Collins will also come up from the JV squad and play defense. According to Shook she has a lot of speed and is a really spunky player. “Adding (Collins and Miller) will give us a couple of sophomore players to groom for next year when we have a huge void to replace all of these seniors,” he said. Having such a large senior class presents some trepidation for Shook and the future of his team which will experience a large exodus of seniors after this season. But the team has nine freshmen to accent a handful of skilled sophomore players and five middle-schoolers. “I have concerns losing those (seniors), but I think we’ll be in good shape with that big freshmen class,” Shook said. “The upper classmen have really taken them under their wings. They see the talent that these young girls have and know that the legacy that they have will continue into the years that come.” But right now the team is focused solely on the highly-anticipated season, and has adopted the motto, “go big or go home.” “This makes us want to win district and go on to
region even more because there are so many of us,” said senior Allie Bogard. “We have to stay focused and work hard.” “We are very competitive,” added senior Joy Straney. “That’s what’s going to make us go far this year. I think we have all stepped up and took our leadership roles so we’re going to be ready this year. We’re ready for district and region and just have a good year.” The team will have its hands full with a very competitive district. With preseason ranked No. 12 Elizabethtown the district looks to be one of the toughest teams in the area. “We want to win district and beat (Elizabethtown),” said senior Alexis Hobbs. “That’s our big goal. It seems like we always get stuck against (Elizabethtown) during the district tournament.” Last year, the team suffered a season ending 3-0 loss to Elizabethtown, but Shook felt the team played well and improved a lot during the tailend of the season. “I think we ended on a good note and I hope we can carry it into this year,” he said. “I think we have the team to make it exciting out there this year. It’s going to be a fun team to watch.” The Lady Waves open their first game against Jeffersontown on Monday at home with a 5:30 p.m. start. A team picture was not available by press time, however, The News Standard will print the Lady Waves soccer team photo whenever it’s available.
“LeAnna has done a great job filling in for (Filburn),” Smith said. “She has some big shoes to fill. She’s a great athlete but she’s just inexperienced.” The night would remain an emotional rollercoaster in the third match when the Lady Waves came out flat and
found themselves in a 15-10 hole. With several miscommunications during key serving points, the Lady Waves eventually lost 25-14. “That’s kind of been our weakness the entire time,” Smith said of the team’s communication and passing. “It’s one thing that we have been
working on constantly and it will come. We just need better communication.” The team will head to Apollo for the annual Summer Slam Tournament this weekend. For a full recap of the tournament check next week’s issue of The News Standard.
field and in “the hole” at the high school. “It’s neat for the kids playing because the referees are the high school football players,” Wilson said. “So after seeing the high-schoolers play on Friday night, the younger kids get to interact with them on Saturday morning.” The flag football teams practice once a week and also have games on Saturday. Another aspect that makes the league shine is the dedi-
cated coaches, according to Wilson. “We’re fortunate to have a lot of former players coaching,” he said. “They’re really great coaches and it’s nice to have people dedicated to the success of the program.” But when it comes down to it, the league is all about fun and introducing the little athletes to the tradition of Greenwave football. With the chance to even be waterboy on Friday nights, the league is a great way to
experience what it’s like to put on the Green and White of Meade County. “Of course it’s all about fun,” Wilson said. “We’re not cutthroat or stack teams. We try to divvy up the team to make it fair and fun for everyone. We’re here to win a state championship down the road in high school not to stack teams right now.” The final day of sign ups will be tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon. at the Meade County High School lobby.

Support the band, support Meade Co. Submitted by Betty Brandenburg Yundt Meade Co. Band Boosters
Although it still feels like summer, the members of the Meade County Band are already entrenched in practices for their fall performances. Band camp was conducted at the high school July 13 – 17 and July 27 – 31. The band gave the public its first view of the 2009–10 season as they marched in the Meade County Fair parade on July 19. The Meade County Band has been under the direction of Bruce Soderstrom since 1976. Matt Williams is assistant band director and Lindsey Frank coaches the color guard. Other senior and junior staff members are working with the band in various capacities to ready the band for another award-winning season. The band plays at all home football and basketball games and performs during concerts throughout the year. The band competes almost every Saturday in the fall months with a culminating performance at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis at the Bands of America Grand Nationals. In addition, Meade County proudly hosts a semifinal competition for smaller school bands at Hamilton Field later in the season. The Meade County Band proudly represents all of Meade County. The band boosters meet the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in the band room. All interested community members are invited to join us and support the band. As the only high school band in the county, our students are ambassadors of Meade County each time they perform. They need community support to do their best. We warmly welcome all alumni of the band, parents of current and former band members and interested community members to attend the meetings to find out how to better help our fantastic band represent our great county.
To help keep the members of the community informed the band has a Web page on the high school Web site and a separate Web site maintained for the band boosters is linked to provide information for supporters of the band. In addition, several postings of the band are on YouTube and the band has a Facebook page. The community is welcome to bring lawn chairs and listen during Thursday evening practices. It is a wonderful way to spend an enjoyable evening listening to good music in your own backyard. During the Thursday rehearsals, students perform parts of their competition show which, this year, includes “Gloria” by Rutter, Shostakovich’s “Fourth Ballet Suite,” “A Light unto the Darkness” by Gillingham and “Adagio for Strings” by Barber. Other ways to support the band include coming hungry to Meade County High School football games and having dinner at the concession stand operated by the boosters. This is the main fundraising activity for the band. The band also sells various food items, drinks and other products throughout the year. Silent auctions are held at the concerts and are a great way to purchase unique gifts. Kroger gift cards are available that earn the band a portion of the proceeds at no cost to the user. Snappy Tomato Pizza supports the band by donating a portion of their profits on certain Tuesdays and Wednesdays — a perfect way to enjoy an easy family dinner while supporting the local marching band. This year the band boosters are extending a special welcome to all alumni and community members to help make this the best year possible for our wonderful students as they proudly represent all of Meade County. All are welcome at band booster meetings. Contact any band officer via the parent Web site or

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was American humorist, writer and television host Sam Levenson who related the following remembrance: “It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, ‘Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.’” •It’s been reported that whenever he traveled, French philosopher, mathematician, scientist and writer Rene Descartes brought with him a doll named after his daughter, Francine. •The most common surname in the United States is Smith, followed, in order, by Johnson, Williams and Jones.

•A man in Sandusky, Ohio, evidently had a rat problem in his home — and had a novel way of dealing with it. It seems that whenever he saw — or thought he saw — a rat, he would shoot it. This method didn’t always work the way he planned, however. He once shot himself in the foot. On another occasion, he mistook his wife’s hat for one of the pesky rodents and shot it. Unfortunately, the hat was on her head at the time, and the man was charged with negligent assault.

Horoscopes HOCUS-FOCUS
Last Week’s Solutions
By Henry Boltinoff © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A chaotic atmosphere taxes the patience of the Aries Lamb, who prefers to deal with a more orderly environment. Best advice: Stay out of the situation until things settle. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tension runs high in both personal and workplace relationships. This can make it difficult to get your message across. Best to wait until you have a more receptive audience. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good time to take a break from your busy schedule to plan for some welldeserved socializing. You could get news about an important personal matter by the week’s end. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An offer of help could come just when you seem to need it. But be careful about saying yes to anything that might have conditions attached that could cause problems down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Sometimes a workplace colleague can’t be charmed into supporting the Lion’s position. That’s when it’s time to shift tactics and overwhelm the doubter with the facts. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You continue to earn respect for your efforts to help someone close to you stand up to a bully. But be careful that in pushing this matter you don’t start to do some bullying yourself. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Don’t ask others if they think you’re up to a new responsibility. Having faith in your own abilities is the key to dealing with a challenge. P.S.: That “private” matter needs your attention. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to use that Scorpian creativity to come up with something special that will help get your derailed career plans back on track and headed in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While change is favored, it could be a good idea to carefully weigh the possible fallout as well as the benefits of any moves before you make them.

Smokey Bear celebrates 65th birthday Submitted by Ky. Energy and Environment Cabinet
FRANKFORT — Governor Steve Beshear, along with the Kentucky Division of Forestry (KDF) and Daniel Boone National Forest (DBNF), recognized one of America’s beloved icons today. The governor officially proclaimed Sunday, August 9, 2009 as Smokey Bear Day in Kentucky in an effort to celebrate Smokey Bear’s 65th birthday and provide critical information about wildfire prevention. Since his “birth” on August 9, 1944, Smokey Bear has been a recognized symbol of conservation and protection of America’s forests. His message about wildfire prevention has helped to reduce the number of acres burned annually by wildfires, from about 22 million (1944) to an average of seven million today. However, wildfire prevention remains one of the most critical environmental issues affecting our country. Many Americans believe that lightning starts most wildfires. In fact, on average, nine out of 10 wildfires nationwide are caused by people. The

Smokey Bear has been communicating his wellknown message, “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires,” since 1944. In 2001, he introduced the term “Wildfire” to include all unwanted, unplanned fires in natural areas such as grass fires or brush fires. Today, his campaign continues to be a critical tool specially
designed to ask for every citizen’s commitment to be responsible with fire. “Smokey Bear is one of the longest-running and most successful public service advertising campaigns in our country’s history,” said Leah MacSwords, director of KDF and president of the National Association of State Foresters. “His message has helped forestry agencies across the U.S. raise awareness about wildfire prevention,” she added. The Wildfire Prevention campaign was developed in partnership with the Ad Council, a private, nonprofit
organization that marshals talent from the advertising and communications industries, the facilities of the media, and the resources of the business and nonprofit communities to produce, distribute and promote public service campaigns on behalf of nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Smokey and his wildfire prevention campaign continue today as a partnership between the Ad Council, the US Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. The Ad Council will be distributing new public service announcements (PSAs) to media outlets nationwide. Per the organization’s model, the new Smokey Bear PSAs are airing and running in advertising time that is donated by the media. KDF and DBNF are encouraging media outlets throughout Kentucky to provide support for the new ads. For more information about wildfire prevention efforts or Smokey Bear PSAs, contact the Kentucky Division of Forestry at 1-800-866-0555 or visit the Smokey Bear Web site at www.smokeybear.com.

Sign up beings for youthmentor dove program Submitted by Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department
FRANKFORT — Call-in registration for this year’s mentor-youth dove hunts will begin at 8 a.m. EST Monday, August 10. An adult and two children under the age of 16 may register for these popular hunts by calling the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources’ toll-free number at 800858-1549 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time. Registration closes August 21. Registrations will not be accepted prior to these dates Reservations for these hunts are made on a firstcome, first-serve basis. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has seven public dove fields set aside for mentoryouth hunts. Six of these hunts will take place on Saturday, Sept. 5, while the seventh hunt, at Bluegrass Army Depot, is scheduled for Sept. 6. The fields will remain closed to general dove hunting until after the mentor-youth hunts. Kentucky’s statewide dove season opens Sept. 1. Statewide, Kentucky has 38 public or leased fields open specifically for dove hunting. Hunters using these fields should always pick up discarded shells and all trash. Hunters also should never leave waste left over from field dressing birds in any of these fields. The success of Kentucky’s dove field lease program depends on hunters showing respect for property owners. Mentor-youth hunting fields include HigginsonHenry Wildlife Manage-
ment Area (WMA) in Union County; Lloyd WMA in Grant County; a 20-acre field near Bloomfield around the Nelson/Spencer County line; a 20-acre field near Fredricktown in Washington County; a 20acre field in Green County; and a 20-acre field near Cedar Creek Lake in Lincoln County. A background check and advance registration is required through the Bluegrass Army Depot to participate in the hunt. An adult mentor may take two youths on these hunts. Both the adult and the mentor may hunt. Participants are assigned a shooting location. Hunter education and licensing requirements apply to the mentor-youth dove hunts. Hunter education is required for all hunters born on or after January 1, 1975, except kids under 12 and hunters who are license exempt. However, a one-time temporary hunter education exemption permit is available for $5 online, which allows hunting for one year from the date of purchase without a hunter education card while accompanied by a legal adult hunter. Bluegrass Army Depot does not accept this exemption permit. Log on to fw.ky.gov to find a hunter education course near you, or to purchase an exemption permit. Directions to each public dove field is listed in the 2009 Kentucky Hunting Guide for Dove, Wood Duck, Teal, Woodcock, Snipe and Crow. The guide is available online at fw.ky. gov, and is currently being shipped to vendors who sell hunting licenses.
