Plant lays off 44 workers at start of holiday season Staff Report The News Standard Kentucky’s only cement plant, Cemex, Inc., also known as Kosmos Cement Company, laid off 44 employees on Monday, 26 of whom are Meade County residents.

The plant, located nine

miles north of Meade County on Dixie Highway, typically employs about 140 people between its site on Dixie Hwy. and its rock quarry facility located in Battletown.

Scheduling date bumped in sheriff’s dept. lawsuit

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

A scheduling conference originally set for Oct. 29 has been bumped back to Nov. 20 at 11 a.m., in regards to the federal lawsuit against Meade County Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick, the Meade County Sheriff’s Department and Meade County.

The job discrimination suit was filed on May 14, 2009, by Thomas Ray Young, former Meade County deputy sheriff and current Muldraugh police officer.

After a motion to reassign the scheduling conference by the plaintiff Young, Magistrate Judge James D. Moyer ordered last week’s conference to be held in late November. The case is

Activity Center continues to make headway Board meets regularly, financial validity established Submitted by the Meade County Activity Center Board of Directors

A board of directors was formed last month for the building of the Meade County Activity Center.

The idea for the center came nearly a year ago, in November of 2008, when a civic-minded group with representation from across the county met to discuss the dream of an activity center.

In the spring of 2009 that group commissioned a phone survey that indicated that 95 percent of Meade County citizens surveyed thought the activity center would benefit the county and 59 percent indicated they would be willing to pay a fee for facility such as this.

Union workers at the plant and the quarry have heard rumors of workforce cut backs since the beginning of the year, according to Daniel Perry,

“Cemex employees have known there has been talk since January 2009,” Perry said. “The company has worked with the union all year, to try to prolong the

Sole searching 17 years later, one man continues to search for his brother’s murderer

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com On June 24, 1992, Burt Lindsey finished mowing the lawn in Radcliff, Ky., went inside and listened to a message from his sister on the answering machine. The message was that his brother, Willie, was dead.

Burt and his other family members assumed Willie died of a heart attack or an illness along those lines, since heart disease ran in the family and officials didn’t let on to any ulterior speculations. It wasn’t until after the funeral that Burt found out his brother was strangled to death inside his trailer on Sand Ridge Road in Meade County.

Today, Burt still searches for his brother’s murderer.

“My brother and I weren’t very close,” Burt said. “And he wasn’t an example of a good person; he had a lot of faults, like anyone. But he was my brother. If you can’t count on your family, who can you count on?”

Burt and Willie were two of 14 siblings born and raised in Vine Grove, along the Hardin and Meade county line. Seven of those siblings are alive today; some of them still search for closure in their brother’s death while others have moved on without answers. Burt is driven to decipher what happened on that mid-summer day in 1992.

Willie, 48, was found by his live-in girlfriend of eight years, Gail Ensign. He was wearing only his underwear, lying face down on the ground at the foot of the bed.

She found Willie in the early afternoon, calling 911 around 1:30 p.m. after she returned home from work. According to police reports, Gail told officials that their four-year-old daughter was left alone in the home all day with him, since Willie never dropped her off at the babysitter in the morning after Gail left for work around 5 a.m.

Burt feels their four-year-old daughter’s account of what happened is an unlikely story.

“She had a story about a motorcycle gang that rode into town and broke into the house and killed him,” Burt said. “But the police reports list no signs of forced

entry … and (Gail) told the police the door was locked when she got home.”

No arrests were ever made.

Burt keeps this and all the other pieces of the puzzle organized in a large 3-ring binder. It contains 180 pages of police reports, 911 command center logs, autopsy reports, suspect testimonies, polygraph

test results, newspaper clippings, photographs and more. Though Burt has 180 pages of facts, he has very few answers.

What is certain, according to Burt, is this: Willie was an alcoholic and a batterer, and Gail often received the brunt of his

School, community help raise $2,500 for student with leukemia Muldraugh parent Johanna Hobbs, left, presents a $1,100 check to Zeke Felix and his mother, Melissa, to help pay for expenses incurred

by Zeke’s cancer diagnosis.

THE NEWS STANDARD/ LINDSEY CORLEY

By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com The small town of Muldraugh has made an impact on the life of one Meade County family in a big way.

With the help of faculty and staff at Muldraugh Elementary School, as well as students and their families, six-year-old Zeke Felix, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of two, his mother Melissa and younger broth-

er Iven, are a little better equipped to face the future.

The community raised a total of $2,500 for Zeke and his mom, including a one-time donation of $1,100. That money was raised through a bake sale/raffle hosted by a Muldraugh Elementary parent, Johanna Hobbs, employed at Hardin Memorial Hospital in Elizabethtown, Ky. Doctors, nurses and other hospital staff from the Outpatient Sur-

gery Center bought baked goods and donated to the cause, and filled out a Get Well Soon card for Zeke.

“He’s just a tremendous kid with a courageous spirit,” said Muldraugh Elementary School principal William T. Parker.

Zeke has been a student at Muldraugh Elementary for two years, but hasn’t spent all that time inside the building.

NEWS MCPL to host book signing for author of children’s book

Friday, November 6, 2009

A2 - The News Standard

By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com

Terri J. Karnes, a church administrator at Glad Tidings Christian Center in Brandenburg, will host a book signing Nov. 14, from noon to 3 p.m., at Meade County Public Library with copies of her new book, “Walking Through a Maze.”

Karnes, who goes by the penname Lena Goldman, wrote this book eight years ago and went on a search to find a publishing company, after self-publishing her first book, “Life’s a Crooked Path.”

“Walking” was born out of a need, according to Karnes.

She was counseling two children whose father had

committed suicide and it was difficult for those children to put into words what they were feeling.

“The grieving process was foreign to them, and they were confused about all of their emotions,” Karnes stated in a press release.

Thus, the book was created and when she read it to the children at their counseling session, one of them began to cry and said, “That’s what I would say if I knew how to say it.”

Karnes stated the book gave a voice to what they were feeling and comforted them.

“Many times during the loss of a loved one, children are overlooked,” she stated.

“People use the excuse that children are resilient. That is a true statement, but children have the same emotions as adults and many times do not have the ability to communicate and express their grief. It is important that we give attention to grieving children, and that we encourage them to talk about their feelings. This book is a tool that can be used to open dialog with children concerning their loss.”

Karnes, of Corydon, Ind., is a credentialed minister with the Kentucky Assemblies of God. She and her husband, Keith, have been married for 34 years and have three grown sons, one of whom inspired her first book.

She has worked as a preschool teacher, children’s evangelist, clown minister, and children’s pastor. She has also taught parenting and financial management classes.

Karnes has worked with children for more than 30 years and has counseled children through divorce, death, tragic situations and illnesses.

Both “Walking Through a Maze” and “Life’s a Crooked Path” will be available during the signing. Copies are $10 each. A book launch will be held Nov. 7, from noon to 4 p.m., at Magdalena’s On the Square in Corydon. Cake, tea and coffee will be served and books will be available for purchase.

‘Constructing Cans for Helping Hands’ upcoming at Ft. Knox Submitted by Fort Knox Army Community Service

Have you ever wanted to combine your passion for patriotic sculpting and giving canned goods to the less fortunate? Well, here’s your chance!

Section 4 of Young’s official complaint states, “This is an action for compensatory and special damages that resulted from the discriminatory and tortious acts of Sheriff William Kerrick to deprive Plaintiff of the rights and privileges of employment, subjecting him to unequal terms and condition of employment because of his race, and depriving him of liberty and property and the right to enjoy life by forcing him to resign his employment with the Meade County Sheriff’s Department.”

Compensatory damages of $75,000 each for four of five counts and punitive damages in an amount to be established by trial are being sought by the plaintiff.

With data to support the dream, the committee took the next step toward making this dream a reality by selecting a board of directors.

“I am beyond thrilled at the group of individuals committed to the success of this project,” said John Beavin, chairman of the board. “The directors were selected based upon their diverse background and experiences, and most importantly, their commitment to Meade County and their shared vision of the MAC and the benefits it will bring to the community.”

The board members, in addition to Beavin, are Randall Bradley, director of finance; Nicole Whelan, director of fundraising; Jason Sutton, director of community relations; Leigh Margaret Roberts, director of marketing and communications; Doug Vowels, director of legal and contracts; Scott Wil-

lic display of the finished sculptures will begin at 1 p.m. culminating with an awards ceremony at 3 p.m.

All canned goods used in the competition will be donated to the Helping Hands Holiday Food Drive. “America” will be the sculpture theme for this year’s competition.

This event is open to the general public.

For more information on registration or the event, please contact the Army Community Service office at 502- 624-2635.

Kerrick’s counsel, R. Keith Bond of Elizabethtown, Ky., denies the allegations.

Young filed an initial lawsuit with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on June 20, 2008. In that complaint, Young stated “I believe I have been discriminated against because of my race, Black, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.”

After its investigation, the EEOC made the determination that no conclusion could be made that violations of statuses had been made and dismissed Young’s charge on Feb. 17, 2009.

Young began employment with the sheriff’s department on April 1, 2006 and worked there until March 14, 2008, according to a charge of discrimination form.

Muldraugh City Clerk Caroline Cline said Young began working for the Muldraugh Police Department in March 2008. He is represented by Aubrey Williams of Louisville.

Kerrick has been sheriff since Jan. 1, 2007. son, director of technology; Meg King, director of health and wellness; and Russ Powell, director of research and analytics.

The board is now meeting regularly and several critical milestones have been made, including financial validation of the facility. Randall Bradley completed this through benchmarking like communities and counties with like facilities. The goal of this process was to provide proof of concept that the community could support the ongoing operation of such a facility.

With this critical step complete, the board is now focused on funding.

As state and local budgets are feeling the pinch, the board is not pursuing any source of government funding at this time.

The center will be financed through fundraising donations and membership drives.

“While this might make the timeline a little longer, it is very exciting to be a part of something that is 100 percent driven for, and by, the community,” said Nicole Whelan, director of fundraising.

Self-research leads to best decisions about H1N1 vaccine

With the 15th H1N1 death confirmed in Kentucky this week, it’s quite likely talk of swine flu is permeating the water cooler and dinner table conversation across the Bluegrass.

Whether it’s talk of ways to keep us healthy or, even, how ridiculous the swine flu mania has become, more people seem to be talking about the illness now that cases have hit closer to home.

That’s why it’s important to weed out truth from gossip and educate ourselves on the symptoms and treatment plans of swine flu, especially the importance and availability of the H1N1 vaccine.

Shipments are made to Meade County weekly and our county health department is working feverishly to get everyone eligible for the shot (currently, all at-risk categories, including expectant mothers and anyone under the age of 24) vaccinated.

Judging by the crowds, it seems a lot of Meade County residents are ready and willing to suffer the stick of a needle to prevent the sickness of a flu that preys on the young and healthy.

But there are still many people out there who are wary of the vaccine’s safety and are choosing to remain at-risk and unvaccinated.

According to the Center for Disease Control, the swine flu vaccine, which treats a relatively new strand of influenza, is made by the same process used to produce the seasonal flu vaccine. It is not a “new” vaccine nor does it contain vaccine additives that make it different from a seasonal flu vaccine.

If you’re scared of needles, the flu vaccine comes in a mist. If you’re scared of the efficacy of the vaccine, however, the only solution is to do your own research, keep an eye on local news sources and ask the question — is it better to be safe than sorry?

For those high-risk groups, especially, making informed decisions takes precedent over what we might have heard in line at the grocery story or at the playground. At a time when our fellow Kentuckians, some of whom have been healthy young adults with no preexisting health concerns, have fallen victim to swine flu, rational minds making informed decisions should prevail.

Last week’s question: Will you get the H1N1 flu shot when it becomes available in Meade County?

No 11%

Yes 89%

Bluegrass Beacon Kentucky’s public education system does a solid, if not spectacular, job — with about 25 percent of its students.

But what consolation do you draw from that if your child falls among the other 75 percent? And remember, a majority of that threequarters remains either stuck in an inner-city, failing school or in the hinterlands without alternatives to a mediocre education.

Some of those students — graced with well-to-do parents — can move to a better school district or pay for a private school.

But very few in Kentucky can write that private school tuition check.

What financial options do Kentuckians have to improve the plight of students in a state with an average per capita income of $32,076?

Very few. Ask Virginia Walden-Ford, now executive director of D.C. Parents for School Choice, who knows what it’s like to face the same question

she challenged parents trapped in D.C.’s poverty and failing schools. She’ll let anyone who listens know: One mother can make a difference.

That cycle doesn’t just spin in the inner city, either.

“It’s the same story wherever I go — whether it’s urban or rural communities: Kids aren’t getting a fair shake if their parents don’t have the resources,” Walden-Ford said.

The latest CATS and NCLB test scores from Kentucky’s rural communities tell much the same story. They show that children in Kentucky — which, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, ranks No. 47 in the nation in per capita personal income — start losing ground in school as they move into their middle- and highschool years.

In Meade County, only 39 percent of third-graders failed to reach math proficiency, compared to 76 percent in the 11th grade.

The results also are dismal in science — 59 percent of fourth-graders were proficient compared to only 29 percent of 11th-graders — and writing, where 83 percent of 12th-graders are be-

low proficient, compared to 54 percent of fifth-grade students.

If these students could become better students in a different school, why shouldn’t they get that chance?

One reason they haven’t gotten that chance in Kentucky is because of the opposition to school choice of teachers unions.

Bob Chanin, retiring general counsel of the National Education Association, recently said that the NEA and its affiliates, including the Kentucky Education Association, are effective “not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. The NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.”

Chanin gets an “A” for honesty. His union receives an “F” for abusing its power and exploiting Kentucky’s children.

‘Horses and Hope’ touches lives across Kentucky Jane Beshear First Lady of Kentucky In a little over one year, it is remarkable just how many people the Horses and Hope program has touched across the Commonwealth.

Every year between 2,800 and 3,200 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it the second leading cause of death for women in Kentucky. When presented with such a staggering statistic in 2008, I knew something must be done. My drive to help tackle this issue head on led to the development of Horses and Hope: an initiative to educate, improve awareness and offer screenings for the often overlooked members

truly outstanding. Due to the hard work of partner groups as well as our committed volunteers and steering committee — The Pink Stable — we will be able to ensure that our next years of operation are even more inclusive as we work together to provide information about the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

The figures to date for Horses and Hope are extraordinary: •Four of Kentucky’s primary racetracks — Ellis Park, Turfway Park, Keeneland and Churchill Downs —have been the site of multiple Breast Cancer Race Day celebrations.

•Over 760 track workers were educated about the importance of testing for breast cancer.

•Six screening dates using mobile mammogram tech-

nologies at Kentucky’s racetracks led to the further testing and diagnosis of breast cancer in two individuals.

•1,790 Race Day survivors and guests were in attendance at Horses and Hope events, including 135 at the 2009 Kentucky Oaks “Pink Out” Day. •More than 125,246 Race Day fans have learned more about the importance of being tested as well as about the prevalence of breast cancer in the Commonwealth.

•To date, approximately $96,361 has been raised to help continue this important, life-saving program.

Since its inception, we have hit the ground running in every corner of the state, mobilizing survivors, doctors and advocates to help us spread the word far and wide about the importance of being screened.

Last week, we hosted a successful race day at Keeneland, where a sea of pink dresses, scarves, ties and ribbons flooded the grandstands. Conversations between mothers, sisters and daughters about the importance of telling their friends and neighbors to get screened filled the racetrack.

Walden-Ford, a single, black mother of three children, faced the challenge in the 1990s while her son, William, drifted to gangs and academic failure in the Washington, D.C., school system.

“We started experiencing the police bringing him home,” Walden-Ford said.

“It was a scary time for us.

And he was invisible at school. The classes were large, and he was lost.”

A generous neighbor stepped up and gave Walden-Ford a check and a choice for her son to enroll in a better school.

“It just absolutely changed his life,” WaldenFord said. “I saw him change in weeks and now, he’s a fine young man. We had a happy ending, but a lot of boys in our neighborhood did not. I see them now — drug-addicted, in and out of jail.”

The experience didn’t just change William. It changed his mother, too.

NEWS Health nuts kick it up a notch at unique classes at Fusion Tan

The News Standard - A5

Friday, November 6, 2009

By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com

Are you ready for a complete makeover that won’t wash off with water?

That’s the question put forth by Kim Clark and Kenny Heath, co-owners of Fusion Tan and Spa in Brandenburg, on a flyer for one of their newest offerings — kickboxing classes.

Kickboxing is an addition to the growing list of fitness classes offered at Fusion Tan, in an effort to get Meade County citizens up and moving.

Clark said she wanted to get the classes started but didn’t want something where patrons could fall into a routine. The kickboxing class offers boxing, martial arts, stretching and even some Tae-Bo. “Everybody gets a little bit of everything,” she said.

And each class could be different. Heath teaches the class, which is offered every Monday at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., and said people in the earlier class may get a different version than people

The cost for one class is $10, but the series, of four classes, is given a special rate of $35. Clark said that’s because she’s aware of the economy and financial situations, and giving promotional discounts is something she tries to do at Fusion Tan. “People shouldn’t have to

sacrifice or do without because they can’t afford it,” she said.

So far, class sizes are small, but Clark said they are a very loyal group of customers who have come to nearly every fitness class they’ve offered.

“We have the best customers in the world,” she said.

Smaller classes also ensure

Not only is it convenient for her, but she loves the people and the workout.

“I’m not going to give it up,” she said. “I know this works.”

Heath is able to give one-onone focus to participants.

“If he catches you slacking off, it’s not like being on a couch,” Clark said. “You’ll know it.”

But class members admit they love it.

“It’s really good (for) stress relief,” Woolfolk said.

Since she’s been coming to class, she said she feels better and appreciates the motivation Heath can give her.

“He’ll push me because I won’t do it myself,” she said.

Besides kickboxing classes, which are open to any skill and fitness level, two new classes have recently started. A “Do You Wanna Dance” class began Wednesday and promises to teach participants eight popular, mainstream dances in just four weeks.

A belly dancing class also started Wednesday and touts burning calories, toning the body and releasing endorphins as results.

The dance class meets at 6:30 p.m.; the belly dancing class meets at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. The cost of each class is $10 for individual or $35 for four session.

From page A1 It was during his kindergarten year, with Mrs. Marcia Gable, that Zeke found out his cancer had returned. He was put on homebound and Gable traveled to his home to teach him.

“He’s really a good kid,” Gable said. “Happy.”

She looked forward to her time at Zeke’s home and, soon, developed a close bond with his mother, as well. In fact, Gable helped get their home prepared after Zeke’s time in the hospital.

“Everything had to be sterile,” she said.

Gable helped prune Zeke’s many toys and stuffed animals to just a few and moved all the others to a storage unit donated by Muldraugh EZ Storage.

Then, Zeke started out this year as a first-grader and moved to the classroom of Erin Prather.

“He’s very loveable, sweet,” Prather said.

Zeke was unable to be in Prather’s classroom for long this school year before finding out, once again, the cancer had come back.

This time, the answer was a stem cell transplant at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, from cells donated by Zeke’s father, Robert Felix.

Borgen says employees will eventually return to work.

“Cemex guarantees that their employees affected by the recent layoff will be called back somewhere between the first of January to the end of February 2010, and by seniority,” she said.

Erin Prather, left, and Marcia Gable, teachers at Muldraugh Elementary School, stand with one of the collection containers they used for fundraising for Zeke and his family.

Throughout the diagnosis, Muldraugh Elementary launched into a plan to help.

They’ve hosted bake sales at Muldraugh Days and another at a Brandenburg festival, as well as putting out buckets to collect money.

The next fundraiser is a baga-thon at Kroger on Nov. 21, with all proceeds being donated to Zeke’s family.

Prather, who has become close friends with Melissa, said she is overwhelmed by the support she’s received from Muldraugh citizens.

“She’s shocked that people care so much,” Prather said.

Zeke is currently recoverhundreds more internationally. In October 2008, the company — which is one of the largest cement businesses in the world — cut its worldwide staff of 60,000 by 10 percent and put $2 billion in assets up for sale as profits bottomed out and demand decreased during the global financial crisis.

In early January 2009, the company laid off 100 employees and shuttered its plant in Davenport, Calif., for six months. In August, 50 employees were laid off from the plant located in Fairborn, Ohio.

“Even with the recent layoffs, the company is stockpiled with cement and fully operating for their custom-

ing from the stem cell transplant, which has given him a 90 percent prognosis of recovery, at Kosair and Melissa never leaves his side. The financial support from the school’s fundraisers has ensured Melissa doesn’t have to make the choice between her son and her bills.

“It means a lot for me,” she said, of the support from Muldraugh Elementary. “Words can’t even express all they’ve done.”

To help Melissa, Zeke and Iven, donations can be sent to Muldraugh Elementary School, care of William T. Parker, 202 Wendell St., Muldraugh KY 40155. ers,” Bogen said.

Perry said the layoffs have many longtime employees distraught, and leaves those with jobs uncertain about the future of their employment.

“The good news is we have great employees, a great plant team and the recent layoffs are purely the economy and they will be called back,” Bogen said.

Kosmos Quarry, also called Battletown Quarry, is one of four other quarries located in the Battletown/Big Bend area of Meade County. Hilltop Quarry, Wolf Creek Quarry and most recently Meade County Quarry, which began operations in January 2009, are located there.

Retention may not improve grades James Dobson Focus on the Family

QUESTION: Is retention in the same grade ever advisable for a child who is not a late bloomer? How about the slow learner?

DR. DOBSON: There are some students who can profit from a second year at the same grade level and many who will not. The best guideline is this: Retain only the child for whom something will be different next year.

A youngster who is sick for seven months in an academic year might profit from another run-through when he or she is healthy. And as I’ve indicated, a late-developing child should be held back in kindergarten (or the first grade at the latest) to place him or her with youngsters of comparable development.

For the slow learner, however — the child who has below-average ability — a second journey through the same grade will not help.

If he was failing the fourth grade in June, he will continue to fail the fourth grade

in September. The findings from research on this issue are crystal clear.

It is not often realized that the curricular content of each grade level is very similar to the year before and the year after. There is considerable redundancy in the concepts taught; the students in each grade are taken a little further, but much of the time is spent in review. The arithmetical methods of addition and subtraction, for example, are taught in the primary years, but considerable work is done on these tasks in the sixth grade, too. Nouns and verbs are taught repeatedly for several years.

Thus, the most unjustifiable reason for retention is to give the slow learner another year of exposure to easier concepts. He will not do better the second time around!

Nor is there much magic in summer school. Some parents hope that a six-week program in July and August will accomplish what was impossible in the ten months between September and June.

They are often disappointed.

QUESTION: I hear so much about children who have ADHD. Can you de-

scribe this problem for me and tell me how I might recognize it in my son?

DR. DOBSON: The term ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which is an inherited neurological syndrome that affects approximately 5 percent of children in the United States.

It refers to individuals who are easily distracted, have a low tolerance for boredom or frustration, and tend to be impulsive and flighty.

Children with ADHD have a pattern of behavior that sets them up for failure in school and conflict with their parents. They have difficulty finishing tasks, remembering details, focusing on a book or assignment, or even remaining seated for more than a few minutes. Some appear to be driven from within as they race wildly from one thing to another. They are often very bright and creative, yet they’re seen as lazy, disruptive and terribly disorganized. ADHD children often suffer from low self-esteem because they have been berated as goof-offs and anarchists who refuse to follow the rules. They sometimes have few friends because they can drive everyone crazy ó even

those their own age.

As for how you can recognize such a child in your home, it is unwise for a parent to attempt to do so.

There are many other problems, both psychological and physical, that can cause similar symptoms. Disorders of the thyroid, for example, can make a child hyperactive or sluggish; depression and anxiety can cause the distractibility associated with ADHD. Therefore, you must have assistance from a physician, a child developmentalist or a psychologist who can confirm the diagnosis.

If you see in your child the symptoms I’ve described, I urge you to have him or her seen professionally. Again, you should not try to diagnose your child! The sooner you can get that youngster in to see a person who specializes in this disorder, the better.

God’s book deserves studying Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight

A little girl noticed that on the mantle of her home sat a book.

It was a Bible but the little girl never saw it opened.

One day she asked her mother, “Whose book is that?”

Her mother was startled by the question and replied, “Why, honey, don’t you know? That’s the Holy

Bible. It contains the Word of God. It’s God’s book.”

“Oh, mommy,” the little girl exclaimed. “We better give that book back to God, no one around her reads it.”

Isn’t it something that out of the mouth of babes comes such wisdom?

With nearly every home in America having at least two Bibles, it’s sad that the Word of God hardly, if ever, gets read.

Even sadder is the fact that many of those claiming to be the people of God never even open it up ex-

cept in church. That is, if they even bring their Bible to church.

The Word of God claims to be a lamp unto our feet, a light to our path.

The Bible urges us in Isaiah 34:16 to seek it out and read it.

In 2 Timothy 2:15 we are commanded to study the Bible.

The next time you see your Bible just laying there stop, take a few minutes every day, and read it.

Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Overcoming fear disables threats Dan Newton Divine Guidance

Nehemiah 2:1–3 says, “And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king; Now I had not been sad in his presence. So the king said to me, Why is your face sad though you are not sick?

This is nothing but sadness of heart. Then I was very much afraid. I said to the king, let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?” (NASB).

Following a fateful bombing mission over Japan during World War II, the B-25 of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Jacob DeShazer crash-land-

ed in China.

Enemy soldiers quickly captured and imprisoned him, then tortured him for the reminder of the war. Despite his brutal treatment, DeShazer did what most would find unthinkable.

For three decades following the war, he was a Christian missionary in Japan.

Perhaps the greatest enemy of faith is the fear that takes our attention away from God and places it on whatever we perceive as a threat. Jacob DeShazer was able to minister effectively to his former captors because he had the faith to overcome his fears. His faith empowered him to look past his brutal mistreatment to what God had called him to do.

Centuries before, Nehemiah faced a similar challenge. As he served the most powerful king of his time, the Persian ruler Artaxerxes, he had to maintain a sunny disposition at all times so his personal problems would not disturb the

king. Failure could result in severe consequences, so when the king asked Nehemiah, “Why are you looking so sad?” this godly man had every reason to be afraid.

Because of his love for God, Nehemiah spoke his heart and revealed his troubles. The king could have punished him, but instead he reacted with mercy and practical assistance as he sent Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. In you own life of faith, has God proven trustworthy in all things? When you keep your focus on his goodness and faithfulness, you will find the strength to overcome your fears.

Deception pays off in ‘Invention of Lying’

The Invention of Lying Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Garner & Rob Lowe / PG13

Imagine a modern-day world in which everyone tells the truth all the time and people say exactly what they’re thinking.

British funnyman Ricky Gervais co-wrote, co-directed and stars in this wickedly clever comedy about such a bluntly transparent society.

In this movie’s “alternate reality,” life has evolved without any concept of dishonesty. Unattractive and dull people are told they’re unattractive and dull; dating is often a brutal exercise in rejection. Movies are all unembellished narratives about documented historical incidents. Television commercials and politicians must always tell the truth — which often leaves them with nothing much to tell at all.

Gervais plays unluckyin-love Mark Bellison, who stumbles upon a revolutionary new concept: making things up.

In this world, lying is so alien there isn’t even a word for it—Mark describes it as saying “something that isn’t.” Trying out his new

Friday, November 6, 2009

trick, he tells a couple of friends a series of increasingly outrageous lies about things he done and invented. To his amazement, they believe him!

Mark’s lies grow, making him wealthy and wildly popular. And why not — he tells people exactly what they long to hear, even if it’s completely false. Most exciting of all, his dexterity in deceit helps him win the heart of the lovely Anna McDoogles (Jennifer Garner), a former blind date who’d previously brushed him off.

But after Mark tries to ease the mind of his dying mother with what he thinks is just another harmless whopper, it puts him in the middle of a big predicament. Increasingly, he must perpetuate something he doesn’t believe — but everyone else desperately wants to.

Gervais, the British funnyman behind the original BBC version of the hit TV comedy “The Office,” rounds up an impressive supporting cast — including Rob Lowe, Tina Fey, Jeffrey Tambor, Jonah Hill, Christopher Guest and Philip Seymour Hoffman — to help deliver his barbs on religion, beauty, disillusionment and the basic human need for hope. His satiric arrows aim for our comfort zones, and they all hit home.

Gervais’ premise — that falsehoods serve a purpose in the real world — will make you think. A comedic parable that depicts the extremes of both honesty and fabrication, “The Truth About Lying” is a great discussion starter once the chuckles subside.

CD, BOOK, DVD NEW RELEASES

‘Ally McBeal’ complete series released Ally McBeal — The Complete Series Calista Flockhart’s award-winning portrayal of an eccentric, neurotic young New York attorney was a TV smash during its five-season run from 1997 to 2002, with hilariously quirky characters, a swingin’ pop soundtrack and — lest we forget — a computer-generated dancing baby that recurred as a hallucination to represent the ticking of Ally’s biological clock. This lavish 32-DVD set includes every episode plus several bonus features, including a retrospective with the outstanding cast, which also featured Robert Downey Jr., Lucy Liu and Jane Krakowski.

Otis Redding—The Best See + Hear Ready for some tuneful, tasty ’60s R&B? Hear the greatest hits of the late, great Otis Redding, who died in a 1967 plane crash just before the song that would become his signature, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” was released. Groove along to “Try a Little Tenderness,” “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” and the original version of “Respect,” which would go on to become a career-maker for Aretha Franklin. Then pop in

the DVD, which documents two roof-raising concert appearances by Redding, Booker T. and the MGs, and Sam & Dave. It’s easy to see and hear why, as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame notes, Redding’s name “is synonymous with the term ‘soul.’”

Fawlty Towers Remastered Originally airing on the BBC and finding an adoring American audience — and TV immortality — through near-continuous PBS syndication, this British comedy of manners starred Monty Python’s John Cleese as a hotel owner with a continuous cavalcade of comedic problems.

About the only thing missing from this deluxe set, with every episode from the show’s 197579 run, commentary from Cleese, cast interviews and other bonus features, is a room-service order of tea and crumpets.

physical abuse. He was unable to maintain a steady job after he left the Army in his early 20s. Though no drugs or alcohol were found in his body at the time of his death, Burt is certain it was the alcohol, inevitably, that led to his brother’s demise.

“It was the alcohol,” Burt said. “It made him who he was … and I think that played a part in his death.”

Everyone assumed Willie died of natural causes or a drug overdose but Burt knew his brother didn’t do drugs. It took seven weeks from the date of Willie’s death for toxicology reports to come back as negative, though it wasn’t until Dr. George Nichols, former Kentucky state medical examiner, came to the same conclusion listed on the Meade County coroner’s report — that the cause of death was bilateral constriction of the carotid arteries — that the homicide investigation sparked, Burt said, which is one of the biggest questions he’s asked over the last 17 years.

“The autopsy was on June 25, 1992 ... then the next official business was an addendum to the case report on July 13,” Burt said. “That’s about three

weeks. So what happened during that time with the investigation? Anything?”

Burt is uncertain whether officials ever returned to the trailer on Sand Ridge Road, though if they had he believes any clues were most likely vanished since Gail cleaned the trailer the day after Willie’s death. With no signs of visible bruising on Willie’s body and no signs of struggling in the bedroom, no fingerprints were ever lifted, he said.

It was explained to Burt that it required two hands to constrict his brother’s neck hard enough to cut off the blood flow.

“My brother wasn’t a very big guy … but he would’ve fought for all his life,” he said.

Burt has pursued every avenue and side street he thought possible since he began searching for his brother’s killer 17 years ago; he’s contacted former Meade County officials who handled the case, Kentucky State Police detectives, neighbors, ambulance drivers who responded to the scene and medical examiners. He’s driven to Richmond, Ky., more than once, pursuing more leads with state officials.

Tim Livers, former captain of the Meade County Sheriff’s Department, and Bill Adams Sr., former Meade County coroner, lead the investigation until it

Trooper Bruce Reeves, of KSP Post 4 in Elizabethtown, Ky., confirmed on Tuesday, however, that KSP has no record of Willie’s cold case. The Meade County Sheriff’s Department was unable to verify whether the case was still maintained in its cold case files.

“A case becomes cold after you exhaust all your leads, you have no more evidence,” Reeves explained.

“You may have a suspect but if you can’t link them to something substantial or get them to talk … then the case can still become cold.”

Reeves said the percentage of cold cases that are solved is very low.

“It’s rare that one is solved because the more time that passes, the more difficult it becomes,” he said. “What you hope for in a murder case is that whoever did it starts talking.

Usually the type of person that does something like that eventually starts bragging about it, at a bar or wherever, especially if they’re young. That’s what you hope for. That, or when they’re young and ruthless and they don’t have a conscience they’ll get older and start wanting to make amends … you might solve a cold case when the person just finally breaks down and admits it.”

Reeves said it’s not common, but he’s familiar with several instances in which

civilians, typically family members of victims, initiate their own cold case investigations, much like Burt.

“This is the thing,” Burt said, “(Willie) wasn’t anybody. If this had been a sheriff’s daughter or a mayor’s brother or something … this case probably would’ve been solved. But he wasn’t anybody special.”

Burt says he’s been regularly greeted with cold shoulders and snubs during his years of investigating, but he doesn’t hold a grudge against those officials and experts who wouldn’t give him the time of day.

“I would rather them say, ‘I just can’t help you’ instead of acting sincere and leading me to believe they would help,” he said. “But it’s not about that … it’s not even really about someone getting arrested. I just want to know what happened,

who killed my brother.

That’s what I’m looking for, not for me but for him. He didn’t deserve this.”

In addition to his research-laden binder, Burt has also conducted his own reenactments and experiments, such as clocking himself as he drove from the driveway of the trailer to the neighbor’s house where Gail made the 911 call, since they had no telephone service at their home.

Burt has scoured the masses of reports and says he’s identified some contradictions and a few loose ends. He has an idea of how the day of his brother’s murder played out but it’s all speculation — and he knows it.

“You just keep looking until you exhaust every option,” Burt said. “But somebody out there has to know something.”

FEATURE Preparing frog legs keeps one Bowling Green man hopping A10 - The News Standard

According to an old song by the Everly Brothers, a man in Kentucky sure is lucky to lie down in Bowling Green, Ky. Glen Womack couldn’t agree more.

At the end of every weekend, the western Kentucky native leaves the Cliffview community in rural Wolfe County, Ky., and makes the 200-mile plus drive to his native home and full-time job.

Weekends are spent toiling alongside his boss/wife at their Eagle Ridge Café.

“He lives with my mom while he’s there, and they love each other very much,” said Connie, noting her mother, Augusta Vanderpool Gayhart, was reared in Wolfe County.

Connie, who was reared in Bowling Green, Ky., would come to this mountain community of eastern Kentucky in her younger days to visit her grandparents.

She has several aunts, uncles, and cousins in the area.

One particular aunt and uncle are primarily responsible for her returning to her roots, They constructed a large building near their home

Friday, November 6, 2009

at Cliffview with the intention of opening some sort of business.

Plans were interrupted by poor health.

Meanwhile, back in Bowling Green, Ky., Glen and Connie were looking for an opportunity to open a business of their own.

They moved to Wolfe County and lived in an apartment under the building while developing the upstairs into a restaurant and general store.

Opening day was June 29 of last year.

Weather conditions and the fact their electricity was knocked out in December led to their closing the business for a few months.

It was reopened in April as a restaurant with seating for nearly 50.

They hope to be able to keep the business operating year-round.

Considering the response from customers, there will be a lot of unhappy and hungry people if they don’t.

With mostly word-ofmouth advertising, customers are coming from all communities within about a 40-mile radius.

Homecooked dishes like frog legs and catfish keep the Eagle Ridge Cafe, a smalltown restaurant in Wolfe County, Ky., full of business.

“We’re pretty much full on weekends especially,” said Connie, who calls herself primarily a housewife and mother with no previous experience operating a restaurant.

She has worked as a baker, and said “We are getting wellknown for our desserts.”

Homemade cakes and pies are on display next to the dining room, tempting customers as they chow

down on a wide array of tempting sandwiches and baskets.

The special recipe chicken salad is served daily, as long as it lasts, which isn’t long.

“We can hardly keep in chicken salad,” she said.

One of the most popular offerings is all-you-can-eat catfish on Wednesday and Friday nights.

“It’s out of control. It’s

always catfish, and they always love it,” said Connie.

Ribeyes and T-bone steaks are on the menu Saturday evenings.

Everything on the menu is also available for carryout and delivery.

For orders of at least $20, the owners or one of their seven employees will make deliveries to nearby towns such as Campton, Booneville and Beattyville, all in

Kentucky.

A picnic-basket meal to go, including enough food for six, is available at prices starting at $39.95.

According to Glen, not only is every menu item made from scratch, but local products are used whenever possible.

Clean and tastefully decorated, Connie said many of the items displayed on the restaurant’s walls belonged to her mother.

“Looking at them every day makes me feel close to my mom. I feel at home here,” she said.

Glen, a valued and longtime leader at Diamont Equipment, was coaxed into returning to his old job in Bowling Green, Ky., on Aug. 18. He works there Monday through Thursday. He said he finds getting to spend four days at his old job “restful.”

When Friday rolls around, he’s back at Cliffview, where he helps Connie prepare frog legs and perform other jobs that keep him hoppin’.

Recipe of•the•week What to do when the turkey isn’t done Angela Shelf Medearis Kitchen Diva After almost 35 years of cooking, I’ve had my share of Thanksgiving Day disasters! Here are some secrets to saving your sanity and your Thanksgiving dinner: How to defrost a turkey You’ll need at least 24 to 48 hours (about 5 hours per pound) to thaw out a frozen turkey in the refrigerator.

If you need to do a quick thaw, place the wrapped, frozen turkey in your kitchen sink or a large container like an ice chest. Cover the turkey with cold water.

Drain and refill the water every half hour because as the bird thaws out, the water will get warmer. Using this method, the turkey will thaw at the rate of about a half hour for each pound.

Preparing the bird Remove the giblet package (neck, livers, heart and gizzards) from inside the cavity of the bird AND check the neck cavity. Some manufacturers place the giblet package in the neck cavity and others place it inside the cavity closest to the legs.

Most turkeys come with the legs already trussed (crossed and secured with a metal or plastic bracket).

If you’re not going to stuff your bird, there’s no need to truss the legs.

Trussing an unstuffed bird hinders the hot oven air from circulating inside and around the legs. This means that the dark meat will take longer to cook and the breast meat will cook faster and probably dry out before the legs ever get completely done.

The turkey isn’t done Don’t rely on the “popup” timer in the turkey, as it usually means that the breast is overcooked and the dark meat isn’t done.

If the dark meat isn’t done, remove the wings and breast meat from the rest of the turkey, in one piece, if possible.

Cover the breast and wing portion with foil and set it aside. Put the drumsticks and thigh portion of the turkey back into the oven to continue cooking until done. You can re-assemble the whole turkey and garnish it, or just cut it into serving portions and arrange it on a platter.

Stuffing savers If the stuffing/dressing is too wet, spread it out in a thin layer on a sheet pan so that it will dry quickly.

Place it back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes.

If it’s too dry, add more pan drippings or chicken broth to the mixture. If you don’t have any more drippings or broth, you can combine a chicken bouillon cube (if you have one), along with a teaspoon of

poultry seasoning, three tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of water.

Cook the mixture in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Stir to combine and then add it to the dressing until it’s moist.

Gravy rescue tips If the gravy is lumpy, pour it through a strainer into a new pan and bring it to a simmer, stirring gently.

If it’s too thin, mix a tablespoon of melted butter with a tablespoon of flour.

Bring the gravy up to a boil and whisk in the butter mixture to thicken your gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth, pan drippings or a little water and butter to thin it out.

Burnt offerings If the turkey begins to burn while it’s roasting, flip the bird over immediately and continue to cook it.

After the turkey is done, you can remove and discard any blackened skin and about half an inch of the meat below any burnt area. Slice the remaining breast meat, arrange it on a platter and ladle gravy over it.

If your vegetables or gravy burn on the bottom, carefully remove the layer that isn’t burned into another pot or serving dish.

The Meade County girls cross country team has shown some inconsistencies throughout the year.

Head coach Larry Garner says his team is capable of being a top six team in the state, however they don’t always run to their full potential.

“If we run inconsistent we’ll finish 12th in the state,” he said. “If they run well in the state meet they could finish sixth or seventh in the state.

They’ve got the talent, now it’s just in their heads.”

Posted on the Meade County Greenwave boys cross country locker room wall is a list of expectations. Though the team started practice in July, the list’s first goal was to win Oct. 29th’s Lincoln Trail Heartland Conference Meet at Brandenburg Telephone Company’s office in Brandenburg.

They finally achieved that goal last week as they dominated the meet with a score of 28, making them the first place finishers out of seven teams.

“It feels a lot better,”

Meade County head coach Larry Garner said, whose team finished a disappointing second at the meet last year. “We have a list of expectations in the locker room and the first one is win the conference meet. Really since this started in June and July this was our first expectation.”

The meet is unique and pins the Greenwave against former region rivals from Hardin County and Breckinridge County.

“I like this event because we can see where we stand against our rivals,” Garner said. “Since they’re not in our region

anymore we don’t see them often. But we always compare ourselves to the Hardin schools so we get to see that.”

The Greenwave was led by senior Sean Breeds who finished second overall with a time of 17:06.30.

He said his time was slow because of the muddy conditions.

“The mud is always slow,” Breeds said, who ran his season best earlier in the year at St. X’s Tiger Run with a time of 16:46.

Greenwave welcomes the rain while dominating the ground game

By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com Lately the Meade County football team has been singing in the rain, literally.

After playing games in downpours and light showers over the last four weeks, the team has belted out their best Meade County High School fight song last Friday in celebration of another victory.

Last Friday at the Louisville Butler High School Bears’ field, the team was again singing in the rain after its 28-14 win.

“I love the mud,” said

senior fullback and linebacker Tyler Crow. “I wish for it to rain every Friday.

Since it’s started raining we’ve started winning.”

The win over Butler is the Greenwave’s fifth straight.

Crow’s 95 yards on 27 carries and two touchdowns held the brunt of Meade County’s offense, although he credited the team’s success to the offensive line due to the sloppy field conditions and the unflinching rain.

“It’s hard to run in this muddy stuff,” he said. “But we wouldn’t have gone anywhere without our line.

Our offensive line plays a big part for us. We have some guys that are 225, but we don’t have any big monstrous linemen like the guys we’re going against, but they get the job done.”

Butler was another team which outsized Meade County at almost every position, but that’s nothing new for Greenwave head coach Larry Mofield who says he doesn’t remember the last time they outsized a team.

Trophy smallmouth bass cannot resist live bait Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department

FRANKFORT — I was once a purist — until I got over it.

I used to feel that you should only catch smallmouth bass — or any fish for that matter — on artificial lures. Throwing a hair jig, grub, blade bait or other lure was the most sporting way to fish in my mind, and the best example of the concept of “fair chase” for fishing. “Only meat hogs use live bait,” I would scoff with an air of moral superiority.

But, a funny thing happened on the way to my first trophy fish award for a smallmouth bass. My fishing buddies had no such compunctions about using a live shiner or large crappie minnow to fool fall and winter smallmouth bass on Lake Cumberland or Laurel River Lake.

I would patiently swim a light hair jig down a point from the back of the boat, and hear a whipping sound and slight grunt from the front of the boat.

My buddies’ rod would bend double, straining from the fight of a chunky smallmouth that inhaled their shiner. They gently chuckled at my conceit while the drag on their spinning reels screeched.

On the occasion that I took a smallmouth with a jig, the fish usually ran from 14 to 17 inches. Those smallmouth bass my buddies caught with shiners averaged 18 to 21 inches.

With each nice fish they caught and each mediumsized fish I caught, my snobbery melted away. Eventually, a live shiner produced a 21inch long, 4-pound, 11-ounce Lake Cumberland brute, my first trophy smallmouth. I am no longer a snob.

Recent cold rains and unseasonably cool weather pushed water temperatures down into the mid-60s in Kentucky’s best smallmouth lakes. Now is a highly productive time to throw some shiners for trophy smallmouth bass at Lake Cumber-

land, Laurel River Lake and Dale Hollow Lake.

“Smallmouth bass are hitting shiners fished on points at Lake Cumberland,” said Scott Lewis of Danville, one of the friends who showed me the ropes of shiner fishing nearly 20 years ago. “A co-worker caught 22 smallmouth a few days ago. The first fish was a 5-pounder, all on shiners.”

A spinning rod from 6 1/2 feet to 7 1/2 feet long, spooled with 4- to 8-pound line, is the best choice for shiner fishing. You don’t want a rod that is too stiff, nor do you want a noodle rod. A rod that’s too stiff rips the shiner off the hook on the cast. A noodle rod doesn’t give you the hook-setting power or control on the fight to land a big smallmouth bass. A moderate, fast action rod is ideal, as this action gives just enough on the tip to cast a live shiner a good distance with enough backbone to handle the job of setting the hook. A longer rod protects the light line needed in our clear smallmouth lakes.

A size 1 or 2 Kahle-style hook or a size 1/0 circle hook goes on the business end of this rig. Pinch a BB-sized splitshot 18 to 24 inches above the hook and you are set. A circle hook prevents gut hooking, but it can be difficult to resist setting the hook. Simply tighten down by slowly reeling and lifting the rod tip to drive home a circle hook.

“My neighbor has been averaging between 20 and 30 fish a day, both smallmouth bass and spotted bass, on Lake Cumberland recently,” said Ryan Oster, assistant director of fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “He said you can’t catch anything on artificial lures. Points are producing the smallmouth bass, and any place you can find wood in the water is holding spotted bass.”

During my purist days, I underestimated how much skill is involved in shiner fishing. You don’t throw a shiner out, eat a sandwich, take a

nap, daydream and reel in big smallmouth bass.

I learned to cast a shiner underhand or sidearm, as to not make a huge commotion on the water. An overhand cast that makes a large splash not only spooks fish, it injures the shiner.

Watch the line intently as the shiner slowly flits its way to the bottom. Let it settle to the bottom and slowly reel it towards the boat, letting the split shot tick bottom occasionally. I learned to concentrate as hard as I would swimming a hair jig.

If I feel the shiner wiggle more intensely, I get on my toes and my pulse quickens because this usually means a smallmouth is eyeing it. If the line goes suddenly slack, tightens, jumps or goes off to the side, set the hook, or slowly tighten down if using a circle hook.

Cuts and small coves along with points on the main lake of Lake Cumberland from Jamestown to the dam are great areas to fish shiners. Shelves or other drop-offs in small coves in the lower end of the Laurel River arm and points in Spruce Creek on Laurel River Lake hold smallmouth bass now. Points in the lower parts of Illwill Creek and the Wolf River arm of Dale Hollow Lake are good spots to try, as are Trooper, Boys, Cactus and Pilot islands.

With the drawdown of Lake Cumberland, shore-bound anglers can bring along a bucket of large crappie minnows and fish points close to access areas for smallmouth bass. Crappie minnows are much hardier than shiners and live longer in a minnow bucket, plus you can get three or four dozen for the price of half a pound of shiners. Large crappie minnows also work in boats as well, especially when it’s really cold.

Smallmouth bass are some of wariest fish that swim and sometimes it takes the real thing to fool them. Don’t be a snob like I used to be, leave the crankbaits, jigs and grubs at home. Live bait produces big smallmouth bass.

Mike Funk

Mark Hunt

Two inducted into UK College of Health Sciences Hall of Fame The University of Kentucky College of Health Sciences inducted two outstanding alumni, Mike Funk and Mark Hunt, into its Hall of Fame at a dinner ceremony Oct. 8.

“Mike and Mark represent the leadership, passion and involvement in health care that is core to the vision we have for the college,” said Lori Gonzalez, dean of the College of Health Sciences. “We are incredibly proud of them and are honored to add them to our Hall of Fame.”

Mike Funk is a 1981 graduate of the Community Health program and has spent 29 years in heath care, 28 of that at the executive level. He resides in Louisville and is currently the corporate director of national provider networks for Humana, overseeing more than 500,000 contracted providers across the country.

Funk was involved in the implementation of the International Heart Institute, the experimentation of the artificial heart, and is part of a group of leaders in Washington, D.C. working on payment reform in the health care system. He is also a member of the UK Philanthropy Board, a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, a member of the Kentucky Regent Advisory Board, past member of the UK College of Allied Health Development Council, past president of the Hospital Council of Metropolitan Louisville and past president of the Meade County Chapter of the American Cancer Society.

“I’m honored to be recognized, but also humbled that my work is indeed my calling,” Funk said. “Thank you very much for this acknowledgment of my work and dedication to advancing health care.”

Mark Hunt resides in Atlanta and is a

1985 graduate of the college’s Health Administration program. His diverse health care experience spans over 20 years and includes stints with several of the leading proprietary national public and private companies including National Medical Enterprises/Tenet, HCA, Integrated Health Services and, most recently, Genoa Healthcare Group. Hunt has held a variety of senior level executive positions, has formed and developed several companies and started his own health care consulting company providing business development and merger and acquisition services. Hunt is also a member of the College of Health Sciences Philanthropy Board.

Hunt’s leadership roles have been driven by his unwavering commitment to providing the best care possible, and it has also given him the opportunity to identify creative, “outside the box” approaches to addressing a complex health systems environment.

A quote from Nelson Mandela holds special meaning for Hunt: “Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation.”

“I believe that quote from Mr. Mandela says it all,” Hunt said. “Education is the path to great things, regardless of your beginnings. For me, the son of a meat cutter and dental assistant, my education allowed me to be successful on both a professional and personal level. I believe that it’s what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that truly separates one person from another.”

Revenge From page B1 field 74 yards for another 2-yard touchdown by Graham. The two-point conversion failed to give the Greenwave the lead 14-0.

John Hardin answered back during the ensuing drive with a 52-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs two-point conversion attempt failed, making the score 14-6 heading into halftime.

“The first half told the story for us,” Stowe said.

“We were more physical than them. That was a big difference for us.

“They beat us with the run in the first game. We

wanted to make them one-dimensional. I think maybe we preached too hard on the run game and we gave up a big pass play there in the first half.”

During the second half Meade County continued its strong run game when Jon Clark ripped off a 44yard run to set up Graham’s third touchdown run from 1-yard out. The two-point conversion was successful with a Clark run to give the Greenwave its biggest lead of the game 22-6 with 6:45 left to play in the game.

Clark had four runs of 40-plus yards, which set up Meade County with some solid field position.

“The line had beautiful blocks,” Clark said. “I

just ran behind them and broke lose. I couldn’t do anything without them.

(When I got into the open field) I was thinking ‘I’m going all the way, all the way.’”

Clark has been an essential player for the Greenwave during the six-game win streak.

“He’s a superior football player,” Stowe said.

“He does an excellent job on defense and he’s our workhorse on offense.

He broke lose a couple of times and he’s pretty tough to catch.”

The Greenwave defense held sway the remainder of the game when Zach Bogard collected his first of two interceptions of the game, which gave Meade

The Bulldogs wouldn’t go without a fight and scored with 2:17 left in the game to make the score 22-12, but were unable to complete the comeback.

The league championship is the freshman team’s second in a row, which gives a lot of hope for the future of the football program.

“I think with last year’s team winning the championship and now this year this team has just as much talent,” Stowe said.

“I don’t think they realized how good they could be but after winning some games they realized it.”

From page B1 Greenwave went to work and it started out on defense. Butler received the game’s opening kickoff but was reduced to a threeand-out drive.

Meade County then took the ball 79 yards on its first drive, which was finalized when Crow dove up the middle for a 3-yard touchdown run. Junior Michael Clinkscales added the extra point to make the score 7-0 with 5:45 remaining in the opening quarter.

“When we got that first three-and-out we knew we could hold them,” Crow said. “Defensively we held it together. We got some big plays.”

Less than one minute later the Greenwave defense came up big again when sophomore safety Thomas Wilson intercepted a pass by Butler quarterback Zach Lucas. Wilson then returned the ball 46 yards for a defensive touchdown. Clinkscales’ kick was good to extend the lead 14-0.

The Greenwave defense held Butler to less than 200 yards of total offense while holding one of metro Louisville’s best running backs, DeAngelo Thomas, to 66 yards. Meade County also intercepted the ball three times.

Butler answered back in the second quarter when Thomas broke loose for a 20-yard touchdown run and after the extra point the lead was cut in half, 14-7.

Meade County answered back when lethal return man junior Rex Liverman took Butler’s ensuing kickoff 95 yards to pay dirt — which completed the Greenwave’s triad of scoring from all phases of the game.

“The kickoff was big again for us,” Mofield said. “That’s a momentum changer. They scored and we came right back and scored on the kickoff. It was kind of like a carbon copy of last week (against Central Hardin).”

Clinkscales’ kick split the uprights to bring the lead back to 14, 28-7.

“Rex has that speed. I think he gets one every game now,” Crow said of Liverman, who has scored four kickoff returns. “I love that to death, when he does that it gives us momentum even more.”

Liverman also had 54 yards on 14 carries, while senior wingback Tommy Arnold had 30 yards on nine carries and sophomore wingback Max Cundiff had 25 yards on four carries.

Meade County continued to dominate the ground game when they opened the second half with an 18-play drive that consumed more than nine minutes off the clock. Crow

capped off the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run followed by Clinkscales’ kick to make the score 28-7.

“We were able to convert and score on that drive, which took a lot of time off the clock,” Mofield said.

“From that point on we played well, so did Butler.

They fought until the end.”

The teams were unable to do much in the remaining 15 minutes of the game and Meade County punted for the first time with 9:47 left in the fourth quarter and three times thereafter.

“We knew that the field conditions were going to be bad,” Mofield said.

“But there’s no excuses, ultimately we just found a way to win. It was good to see us control the ball like we did.”

During the game Greenwave senior quarterback Tyler Mattingly only threw two passes, one of which was intercepted, while the team ran 56 times for a total of 211 yards.

“We weren’t going to throw a lot to be honest,” Mofield said. “When we’re up a couple touchdowns I’m going to keep it on the ground. I’ve made some foolish decisions in 20 years (of coaching) and I tried not to make those decisions tonight. Coaches can’t win a game, but, boy, they sure can lose a game.”

In a game that seemed to be unimportant in the grand scheme of things, Meade County knew it was just as important as any other victory. With the Greenwave locking up the district’s No. 2 seed and a home playoff game two weeks ago, the game against Butler was to keep the allimportant momentum going into the playoffs.

“It’s real important to win tonight,” Crow said.

“If we would have lost that would have taken

We pulled it off and now a lot of us feel we’re unstoppable. We still have to stay humble and keep level heads, but we also need that confidence.”

Mofield wasn’t concerned about the possible trap game.

“There’s no bigger motivation than losing,” he said. “I hate to lose and our kids hate to lose. I think they get it and they hate to lose more than they love to win. That’s a good way to look at things and I hope they do that the rest of their lives.”

Now the Greenwave looks forward to its opening playoff home game against Owensboro Apollo tonight.

Apollo finished 6-4 and placed third in the 1st district, while Meade County is all too familiar with streaks as the team started with a five-game losing skid, then ended the season with a five-game winning streak.

“We’ve been on both sides,” Crow said. “We came together five games ago and we just have to keep playing like we have been. We have to stay together.”

Interesting times for McMurray

When Quality Counts

M

M Y E RS

By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week Martinsville was a high point for Roush Fenway Racing driver Jamie McMurray.

Sixth place marked his best finish of the season, only his fourth in the top 10 and his first top 10 since May. McMurray, twice a winner at NASCAR’s highest level, looks to the future with uncertainty. With NASCAR insisting on a limit of four full-time cars per team, owner Jack Roush has to cut back his operation, making McMurray the most likely driver in the Roush stable to either move to another team or be shuffled elsewhere within the Ford contingent.

The 33-year-old driver from Joplin, Mo., won his second Sprint Cup race, but that was way back in October 2002, when he won at Lowe’s Motor Speedway substituting for injured Sterling Marlin. In 2007, McMurray picked up career victory No. 2 in Daytona’s July race.

“It was a really good day,” said McMurray of Martinsville Speedway’s Tums Fast Relief 500. “We made really good pit calls and had good pit strategy. Our car was better than average, so we just had a solid day.”

McMurray is a proponent of the “doublefile restarts rule” implemented earlier this year. At the end of each caution period, cars restart in running order, similar to the beginning of a race. Lapped cars, formerly placed in one of the two lines, are now buried deep in the pack, leaving the leaders to race for position.

“If you have a fast car, you don’t have to

do all the strategy stuff,” said McMurray.

“If you’re struggling to stay on the lead lap, then maybe there’s something you can do there to work to your benefit.”

“It’s very, very exciting, I think, for the fans. Our sport is based on putting a good show on, and this is putting a better show on for the fans.”

McMurray ranks 22nd in Sprint Cup points, 184 behind Kevin Harvick, 27 ahead of Martin Truex Jr. and 29 in front of 24thplace Dale Earnhardt Jr. McMurray’s three best career finishes in the point standings all occurred while he drove Dodges for Chip Ganassi. He finished 13th in 2003, 11th in 2004 and 12th in 2005.

Chases From page B1 like it rains. That makes it hard. I’ve been pretty upset with all of my times this year.”

“It was pretty slow out there,” Garner said. “There was a nasty mud stretch in the course and the corners were slick. All of our times were slow. The times have been consistent lately because we haven’t ran on a fast course in about a month-and-a-half.”

With October being one of the wettest months in Kentucky’s history, Meade County has grown accustomed to running in unfavorable surroundings.

“Times have not been great, but our team finishes have been great,” Garner said. “We have won a few meets and came in second in a few others. We’ve gone in and done exactly what we wanted to do. It’s too bad the times don’t reflect that because we haven’t run on a dry course. It’s always swampy and rainy during our meets this year. I guess tonight was like the sameold, same-old. You give us a dry course and I think we’ll see some amazing times.”

Despite the sloppy conditions, the meet’s returning champion, North Hardin’s Andrew Stewart, set a course record with a time of 16:37.60.

Meade County’s top two runners, Breeds and junior Zach Bowen, paced with Stewart the first mile-and-ahalf but fell behind after that.

“It’s pretty frustrating running behind him,”

Breeds said. “I was with him the first mile and I guess I just died.”

Though Meade County didn’t get the top individual spot it did place four runners in the top 10. Bowen finished with his season best 17:15.10.

“Zach ran out of his mind today,” Breeds said. “He ran awesome. He gives our team future hope. We lose a lot of guys next year, but there are a lot of good runners coming up.”

The last four of the top six finishers for Meade County were sophomore Tyler Blair and seniors Chad Medley and Joseph Humphrey and junior transfer from Wisconsin Dakota Waldecker — who all ran sub-19 minute 5Ks. “The team is phenomenal this year,” Breeds said. “We really have pulled together, it’s taken a long time, but we’re doing well.”

The team will have to continue improving as they compete at the 3A, 3rd Region tomorrow at the River Road Country Club in Louisville. Garner feels it’s one of the toughest regions in the state with the likes of St. X, Butler and DuPont Manual.

“Now it gets really hard,” he said, “especially on the boys side. We have to run great. If they go out and race like they did today I think we’ll be just fine. But it’s going to be tough.

“If we put it together all in one day we can be great. We can really do some special things this year. It’s just a matter of putting it together on the same day.”

“We’re getting a lot better,” said sophomore Tiffany Brown, who was the top Lady Waves finisher and third overall. “The beginning of the season we were kind of all over.

But now were getting used to what we’re doing and we’re in a groove.

We were going for first (at the Lincoln Trail Heartland Conference meet).

That was our goal.”

The team certainly found its groove during the meet on a typically fast course at Brandenburg Telephone Company’s property in Brandenburg, but due to this month’s record-setting rainfall the course was a soggy mess.

“The ground was really soft so all you’re doing is sinking into the ground,” Brown said. “That’s made this course pretty slow.”

The team finished four runners in the top 10, which was good enough for first place. The Lady Waves scored 33 points, less than half the points of second place North Hardin, which had 70 points (the lowest points wins in cross country, which is determined by the team’s top five individual finishes).

“The girls team has been a rollercoaster ride,” Garner said. “Going into the meets I don’t know who’s going to run well or who’s going to run bad. We’re just not consistent. Tiffany (Brown) and (sophomore April Level) seem to flipflop every week on who’s our best runner.”

With Brown’s 21:15.50 finish, Level followed up 18 seconds later, good for fifth place. Seniors Shelby Jenkins and Kim Dukes finished six and eight respectively with times under 22 minutes.

“I ran OK. I wasn’t as tired as I am usually after a race, which tells me I didn’t push myself hard enough,” Brown said. “I’m trying to find a new way to run. I can’t take off with Shelby and April because I’ll kill myself in the first mile. I have to go slower and play catch-up in the last two miles. That works a lot better. I have more speed than endurance.”

Brown executed her plan as she slipped back to ninth place at the first mile, the final two miles she out-kicked all of her competitors besides first place finisher John Hardin’s senior Maggie Mattingly who came in with a time of 20:08.60 — earning her fifth straight win at this event.

Though the Lady Waves were chasing the top two individual spots the team was rounded out with most runners finishing in sub 25-minute runs.

Freshmen Destiny Timmons scored the fifth spot on the Lady Waves team with an 11th place finish.

“It feels good,” Garner said about winning the meet. “We felt like we had the best team and I think we showed that today. I’m proud of the kids.”

The meet also gears up the team for the all-important 3A, 3rd Region meet tomorrow at the River Road Country Club in Louisville.

“This is a great meet to run before the region,” Brown said. “This meet helps us figure out how we’re going to run at regionals and at state. We can try different things and figure out what works best. I think with this win we know how to compete at regionals.”

Last year the team finished second at the region to DuPont Manual, who is favored to win again this year.

For a full recap of the region meet check next week’s issue of The News Standard.

MCHS Marching Band heads for state competition

The Meade County High School Marching Band is heading for the state semifinals after placing in the top eight for the 5A class at the state quarterfinals at Central Hardin High School last weekend. As the marching band buses returned to Brandenburg Saturday night after competing, they were greeted with a police escort that led the ecstatic students back to the high school.

The band will compete next in the state semifinals at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium on Saturday. While the Meade County Marching Band is performing in Louisville, the 3A competition will be ongoing at Meade County High School.

ABOVE: The band performs during the quarterfinals at Central Hardin on Saturday. BELOW: Band members celebrate their top eight finish.

Students from every school in the county set up shop at Stuart Pepper Middle School Monday evening where they displayed technology-based projects they’ve worked on since the beginning of the school year.

The Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) is an extracurricular club offered to students throughout the school district. The program emphasizes the importance of technology and how it plays a role in students’ and their communities’ every day routines.

At the District Technology Showcase held Monday, STLP members were judged on their projects, which many teams have worked on since early September.

Macy Alexander, Mason Craycroft and Caleb Greenwell, all third-graders at Brandenburg Primary School, focused on a charity called “Bears on Patrol.”

Using computers to record an announcement that was played over the PA system at school, the trio has collected several hundred stuffed animals that will be given to children.

“It was fun sorting

through all the animals ... and using the microphone and computer,” Greenwell said.

Taylor Miller and Allie Millay composed their project about cell phones.

“I learned that cell phones were first made in the 1920s but they didn’t really debut until 1984,” Millay said.

Miller said their project demonstrated how cell phones can be used to enhance student learning and support paperless classrooms.

Strange but True

By Samantha Weaver •It was way back in the 19th century that American statesman Daniel Webster made the following sage observation: "The world is governed more by appearances than realities, so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it."

•Scary movies like "Jaws" notwithstanding, experts claim that you are 50 times more likely to be killed by a bee than you are to be killed by a shark.

•All official American flags must be lowered and put away at night -- all except one. The flag that was placed on the moon on July 20, 1969, by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (for obvious reasons) remains flying at all times.

•Although almost everyone today thinks of the dictator Napoleon as being unusually short, records show that he was actually 5 feet, 6 inches tall, which was the average height for a man in France at that time.

•Those who study such things say that the coolest parts of the sun are approximately 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the hottest spots can reach a whopping 15 [SET ITAL]million[END ITAL] degrees.

•The popular pub pastime of darts originated in the Middle Ages as a training game for archers.

•Theodore Roosevelt was the first American president to drive an automobile, as well as the first to own one.

Last Week’s Solutions

By Henry Boltinoff © 2008 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again, or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things develop without pressure.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you're used to. But rely on that strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) To avoid neglecting a personal matter because of a demanding new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set up.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It won't be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change.

Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you'll be less likely to trip up while things are in a chaotic state.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming soon. Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week's end you should learn something that will help set the record straight.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Holiday plans could be a challenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled period starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So make use of them in dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to the offer of help from an unlikely source.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) There could still be a communication problem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually your message will get through and be understood.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be reassessed because of the possibility of finding benefits you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A personal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. Instead, seek common ground by talking things through.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touching people's minds as well as their hearts. You would make an outstanding educator. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.

During her senior year at Meade County High School, Kimberly (Bennett) Phillips got a Christmas gift that shaped the course of her life — a sewing machine.

The gift helped direct her to a major in fashion design while attending Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky., which she studied for four years.

During her senior year there, she began working at the costume shop in the theatre department.

“Not only was I learning about the fashion industry, but I was also learning from the theatre perspective, of how to make clothes, how to design,” Phillips said.

She graduated from WKU in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in design, merchandising and textiles.

Those three elements incorporate the fashion and the business perspective of the industry, but also the science behind, among other things, why some fabrics are used, how to pick a fabric and what fabrics will look better and why.

She said she knew she always wanted to own her own business, but she wasn’t quite sure it would happen so quickly after graduation.

Before the end of the school year, Phillips said she’d decided she wanted to open her own business, doing alterations out of her home.

“I would at least get my name out there and get some customers,” Phillips said.

She moved back home, to Meade County, after leaving Bowling Green and had moved back in with her parents, but in October of last year, she moved out and into her own home, in preparation for her impending nuptials last April.

The move precipitated the jump into opening her business and she’s garnered a loyal following since then.

“My customers are very good, my clients are very good, because they tell people,” Phillips said. “Word of mouth is how most people know about it. That’s really good. I’m very proud of that.”

She has been in her storefront, located on Broadway, Ste. 142, just about two months, after deciding she was ready to move from home-based to a retail space.

Though she said she used to dress her Barbies in a combination of store-bought and homemade fashions, including washcloth wedding dresses, Phillips said she was never a “girly-girl.”

“I was never a girly-girl, but I wasn’t a tomboy either,” she said. “I was right in the middle. I had a large imagination.”

Such an imagination was fueled, no doubt, by the creativity she learned early on in life, including quilting with

“She taught me how to sew,” Phillips said.

And early in life, she cemented those lessons, including the only day of kindergarten she remembers — the day she was taught to sew on a button. In fact, she sewed not only all the different types of buttons onto her fabric piece, but she sewed on the boy’s next to her, as well.

“He was so aggravated he couldn’t sew on his button,” she said.

Now, she’s sewing more than just buttons, though she does that too.

She specializes in bridal and formal wear alterations, and has a lot of experience thanks to her job at David’s Bridal during her last six months of college, as an alterations specialist.

“I learned a lot there,” she said.

She also does custom designs, including anything from custom pants and bib overalls to custom wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. She’s also working on a wedding gown collection, slated to be made from silk, starting with sketches she drew herself. She hopes to have them ready by January, in preparation of the upcoming wedding season.

Her prices can depend on the fabric, especially with custom pieces, but with alterations there are three tiers of pricing: standard, special occasion and bridal.

“That’s because bridal gowns tend to be more complicated,” Phillips said.

Within those tiers, too, there are different levels of pricing, as well. For example, a standard pants hem alteration would cost $10, but the price would increase to $15 if the pants were lined.

“It’s just pretty much the time it takes me,” she said, of how the prices have been calculated. And she said she can work with a customer on pricing, if she needs to,

as well.

In the future, Phillips hopes her business grows to include employees and gains a reputation around Kentucky for quality and style in custom dresses, all while shining a bright light on her birthplace of Brandenburg.

“I could have opened my shop in Louisville; I could have opened my shop in Elizabethtown (Ky.) but I didn’t,” she said. “I wanted it here. I want to bring people here.”

Bennett Alterations and Custom Designs is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for fittings, which are by appointment only, and she does sewing on Mondays and Wednesdays. She will take items without fittings if customers know how they should be altered, but if customers are unsure of the length or width of the needed alterations, she can help make that decision. Expect alterations to take two to three weeks, especially for more complicated items like special occasion dresses or bridal alterations.

“You should plan ahead and you should also budget for it, specifically for a bridal dress,” Phillips said.

Alterations can be complicated and, therefore, the price is adjusted accordingly.

For Phillips, her mission statement encompasses what business is all about.

“A person is most beautiful when they are confident. We believe that you should be seen by the beauty you exude from the inside. What you are wearing is only enhancing that idea, not creating it. Bennett Alterations and Custom Designs is here to help you be your most confident.”

To schedule an appointment, even on the same day, call 270-422-5823 or e-mail kimberly@bennettalterations.net. For more information, customers can log on to www.bennettalterations.net, which Phillips hopes to be up and running soon.

Better money habits add up to savings Dollars and Sense

By David Uffington Don’t wait until the end of December to do a year-end financial review. This is a good time to begin developing new habits that will help you save money next year. Here are some ideas: Utility bills: If you had a goal this year of reducing your utility expenses by always turning off lights and

lowering the thermostat, did you do it? If your savings weren’t what you expected because you didn’t always follow through, set a goal for next year. Notch the thermostat down and turn off lights you’re not using until it becomes an easy habit.

Cell phones: You can save money by changing to an inexpensive phone with prepaid minutes that you refill as needed. Your cell phone

usage is likely to go down when you consider that each call is costing you a nickel or a dime per minute.

Take steps now, and be positioned to start the New Year with money-saving habits.

County fair prize winner uses cash to benefit horse camp kids

By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

It didn’t take long for Whitney Skirtich to figure out how she’d spend an extra $3,000.

Skirtich, the equestrian director at Camp Piomingo in Meade County, was one of two cash prize winners at last summer’s county fair.

Though the shock of winning took her a few days to get used to, it’s no shock that Skirtich ultimately opted to use the money to benefit Camp Piomingo’s horseback riding program.

Skirtich found out last week that the YMCA — which operates Camp Piomingo — approved her request to spend the prize money on supplies for the camp’s equestrian program.

On Friday, her $3,000 winnings took the form of 11 brand new English riding saddles.

“We take (campers) out to the fair every year ... and they all get signed up for the cash drawing,” Skirtich said. “I just wanted to use the money to go back to the program.”

Eighteen horseback riding campers and six staff members from Camp Piomingo went to the Meade County fair last summer, and when Skirtich’s name rang out across the speakers as one of the cash prize winners, all 25 of them flooded into the fairgrounds arena to congratulate her.

“It was crazy,” she said.

Skirtich ordered the new saddles with the help of Duck Barr, owner of the Ridin’ Room, a tack shop located at 2075 ByPass Road in Brandenburg.

“Duck is a great help and has been a really great neigh-

The new saddles leave Skirtich with some pocket change remaining, which she’ll use to purchase fly spray, leather oil and other supplies to be used at the equestrian camp next summer.

“I think it says a lot that she chose to give it back to the kids’ program ... and
