A multi-million dollar sewer system refurbishment project in Muldraugh is right on schedule, according to city Public Works Supervisor Anthony Lee. “What the city has done in house and with the contracts we have at this time, will probably put the system at 50 percent rehabbed,” Lee said. “All this rehab work and station work we

ment was also involved, and Kentucky State Police (KSP) took it from there.”

“We sent troopers to this residence,” KSP spokesman Trooper Bruce Reeves said. “Once the troopers arrived they found a person unresponsive. They made entry and discovered he was deceased.”

Authorities then determined Embry was the deceased person.

State makes voting easier for military

By Kentucky Secretary of State Office

FRANKFORT — With two military bases and nearly 8,500 soldiers and airmen in the National Guard, Kentucky has a large number of voters who are fighting to defend American rights, including our right to vote.

Secretary of State Trey Grayson, chairman of the Kentucky State Board of Elections (SBE), announced today that the SBE has expanded its services to make it easier for citizens residing overseas and our soldiers in harm’s way to vote.

“It is imperative that Kentucky continues its long-standing tradition of making voting easier for our soldiers who are risking their lives,” said See VOTING, Page A8

Lay’s brother was taken to University Hospital in Louisville with non-lifethreatening injuries from the earlier shooting. He was listed as being in fair condition, police said.

Authorities believe robbery was the apparent motive.

Police report Lay told them he broke into Embry’s home searching for jewelry and other valuables. The two men allegedly knew each other.

Louisville police arrested Lay on charges of second degree escape and first degree robbery.

One of the reasons Louisville was originally searching for Lay was because he was given a work release order by Louisville Metro Corrections on Aug. 17.

However, Lay never showed up to work and he never See MANHUNT, Page A2

Doe Valley resident recalls creating confectionery masterpieces

By Brian Graves The News Standard Kenneth Clendinin never planned on being a baker, much less being a cake decorator.

But, as a conversation with him makes plain, Clendinin never took on a project he didn’t believe he could do and do well.

And after he found his niche, he never looked back.

He entered the military in 1951 starting in a group of 30 GIs. “You try to sort out what field you’re going to be in — you’re told ‘You guys are going to be in food service, you guys are going to be MPs,” Clendinin said. “That’s the way it’s sorted out.”

As luck would have it, he ended up in food service.

“I said, “Well, anything I’ve ever done, I’ve done it well. I put my heart and soul into it, and I’ll do it here,’” he said. “That was on day one.”

Clendinin married his wife, Bonnie, in 1952 and was sent to Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka, Kan. He worked in the bakeshop on the base and while there, he picked up some “good habits of baking.”

“When I got in the food service bakery, I liked it. You worked with your hands and made different things and I got an interest in it,” he said One time the base was hosting a special event and Clendinin noticed the work one of the cake decorators was doing.

“I saw it and thought, ‘I’d rather do that than be on the mixing machine,’ so I asked if I could get into that even though it wasn’t something they did all the time,” he recalled.

Returning to the converted pickle shop they called home, he remembered setting at the table with Bonnie and he told her he’d like to See CAKE, Page A2

Kenneth Clendinin stands by what he says was one of the most detailed cakes he ever made which included the emblems of 40 different squadrons.

Kids dig in to start of new library building

By Brian Graves The News Standard It was Meade County’s future who broke the ground on the future Meade County Public Library.

Equipped with hard hats and shovels, a group of local children stole the show from the dignitaries as they furiously began digging on the grounds that will host the new facility next year.

Brandenburg Mayor David Pace called the groundbreaking “another step in the modernization of Brandenburg and Meade County.”

Pace said when people compare what the new facility will have against the current conditions at the present site, “You See DIG, Page A7

“She said, ‘Why don’t you,’ and I told her I didn’t have anything to work with,” Clendenin said.

She suggested he get some items to help him practice.

“So, she had a baking pan and I knew how to make icing,” he said. “I’d turn those pans upside down and use the icing to practice. I started from that.”

He never took a class, but going from base to base his art got better and better.

Clendinin spent 18 months in Hawaii and while there, he resumed the practice of using the upside down pans.

“I’d start my own ideas and put stuff together. It just went on and on and I kept it up and kept getting better,” he said.

What Clendinin could not have realized was there was a star in his future. That star’s name was Bob Hope.

Stationed in Goose Bay Labrador, Canada during the late 1950s, he was assigned the task of making a welcome cake for the skinosed comedian when he visited for one of his legendary USO shows.

“I guess that’s the first one that got attention from dignitaries and higher-ups,” he said. “That kind of started it out for me.”

It must have really made an impression on Hope.

“I was finishing up my tour there and was on my way home, when I got an autographed picture in the mail,” he said.

That 8x10, black and white glossy of Hope was inscribed: “To Ken. ‘Thanks for the memory.” Bob Hope.”

“He was unreal, a super, super guy,” Clendinin recalled of Hope.

He also has a photo of Hope showing a photo of the cake at one of his shows.

From that point, Clendinin became the person the military called upon for special occasions and he never disappointed.

And with his self-confidence, he says there was never a request he couldn’t fill.

“None whatsoever, in fact, I did things they said I couldn’t do with icing and cakes,” he said. “People just don’t do things with cakes like I did.”

The process to making his creations sound deceptively simple.

Cakes are baked in vari-

ous shapes, cut, and pieced together — much like building a house with bricks.

However, it’s the artistry of the design and construction that made Clendinin’s cakes unique.

“Sometimes I sketch things out and get it on paper,” he said.

He has scores of photographs of his work through the years and can describe each one in detail.

When asked if there has been any special event for which he has not created a cake, “No” is the quick reply.

Some of his cakes are not just bakery masterpieces, but technical wonders.

“There is a cake I did that had a waterfall and I did all that work with the wiring,” he remembered. “I did all this myself. I cut the Styrofoam, the wood — all of this I did by hand. Nobody told me how to do it be cause they didn’t know themselves.”

His cakes have fed as many as 5,000 — especially during his years at the Air Force Academy.

He believes the cake he made for the Academy’s 20th anniversary may be the biggest he has ever done rising as many feet as years being celebrated.

But, not even that assignment made him nervous.

“I’ve worked for Bob Hope, Robert Young, Cardinal Spellman, the president of the United States, a display for the World’s Fair in 1968, Apollo 15 astronauts … and I just never questioned (the assignment),” Clendinin said. “They’d say, ‘You’ve got the president coming tomorrow.’ It didn’t bother me. I knew my job and I knew it well throughout my whole career.”

One surprising note is Clendinin, by his own admission, doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth.

“Even if my wife buys sweets, I don’t care for it much. It just doesn’t turn me on,” he said with a smile. “Now, when I was baking I had to try what I had made to make sure it was right, but for myself, not so much.”

He doesn’t bake much anymore, except for rare special occasions and family, but he has the attitude of ‘been there, done that.’”

“I’m retired,” he said when asked to help someone learn his trade.

He notes enjoying his free time with his wife, his children and grandchildren.

So for Kenneth Clendenin, his family has become his icing on the cake.

Kenneth Clendinin browses through his scrapbooks with hundreds of photos of cakes he has designed over the years.

Manhunt From page A1 returned to Metro Corrections on Aug. 25.

Police say during this period he committed robbery, home invasion, and car theft in addition to the shooting of his brother.

Lay, who has an extensive

criminal record spanning 25 years, is currently being detained at the Metropolitan Department of Corrections in Louisville. Lay is scheduled to be returned to Meade County Oct. 20 for arraignment, Kerrick said.

“This is not a cut and dry case, even though they have a suspect in custody,” he added. “The investigation is still ongoing.”

“Lest We Forget”

Kentucky is notorious for addictions. From the methamphetamine wave washing over the state, to the oxycontin trail winding up the I-75 corridor, one thing is for sure: there is no shortage of addicts in the Bluegrass state.

While the amount of drug offenders in the system has created a costly backlog of court cases, current disciplinary measures are questionable at best.

Millions in taxpayer’s dollars are wasted each year as people addicted to drugs litter courtrooms, awaiting jail sentences which will be carried out on the taxpayer ’s dime.

There’s no question that drugs are a bane to society.

But, the current policy of throwing drug offenders in jail is eroding with the realization that addictions can’t be solved until you get to the root of the problem.

Though a relatively new concept, drug court seems

I should know, because I was. Actually, I guess technically I still am. I am on the wagon, so to speak.

And it’s been a while since I have had a sip of alcohol, but the urge is still there at times.

And unlike opioid abusers, I was court ordered to quit cold turkey.

Sure, there seems to be a difference between alcohol and harder drugs, but the fact remains, addiction is addiction.

Alcoholics are just as heavily dependent on alcohol as cocaine and heroin users are to their drugs of choice.

The detoxing is often just as severe, and there have even been documented cases of death as a result of alcohol withdrawal.

But with proper treatment and observation, the addiction can be overcome.

Instead of being prescribed another substance to become dependent on, maybe counseling, treatment and a dose of cold turkey is in order for those plagued with all sorts of addictions.

It could save taxpayers millions of dollars — and possibly even lives.

Sweet ‘tea’ sours those on the liberal side Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon Whether a genuine misunderstanding, or collusion and conspiracy, the mainstream media continues its false portrayal of the grassroots movement known as the Taxed Enough Already party as a bunch of angry, racist rednecks.

In Kentucky, the mischaracterizations seem limited to large media relics — primarily the largest newspapers.

A Lexington HeraldLeader columnist’s infomercial-column (published free of charge, I’m certain) about the upcoming Coffee Party convention in Louisville confirmed this.

He offered not only details of — but also a fundraising pitch for — the Coffee Party’s national convention, while making sure to use “anger” twice in his first paragraph to describe critics of Washington’s bailouts and CNBC commentator Rick Santelli’s “rant” that led to numerous TEA

for the cause.

Ms. King didn’t attend the rally because of Beck or Palin.

She understands that we’re not the end-all, beall of America. During our season as citizens of earth, we’re only a link in America’s chain, a cog in its wheel, a chapter in its story.

We’re connected to both those who came before us and to those who arise to accept freedom’s anointing after we’ve faded.

“My uncle was not teaching that we needed the government to take care of us,” King said, sending the leftist loons straight into orbit. “He was teaching that we needed a government who revered and respected what was right.

I never heard my uncle really say that he was marching or fighting so that the government would take care of people.”

That’s a message that works over a mug of Starbucks at Louisville’s Galt House or with an American flag waving in one hand and a rumbling hot cup of Earl Grey in the other on the steps of the capitol in Frankfort.

They may not care for talk-show host Glenn Beck or former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, but they like even less the feeling of freedom slipping from their grasp.

This is why Alveda King, who endearingly refers to her famous ancestor as “Uncle Martin,” stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial alongside Beck and Palin at the Restore Honor rally at the Capitol on Aug. 28.

When asked by Larry King, who interrogated Sister King on whether Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have “been an admirer of” Beck, she just smiled and warmly reminded Talking Head King that neither he nor any of us are the sole proprietors of America’s spirit.

That didn’t sound like an angry woman to me. And racist? It’s pretty tough to make that case, since few alive today — including Dr. King wannabe The Rev. Al Sharpton and others among King’s fellow blacks — have lived closer to the very epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement in this country than the niece of the man who gave his life

party gatherings since April 15, 2009.

Truth be told, it’s not “angry” messengers so much as the “righteous” message that plants the TEA party firmly under the skin of this journalistic artifact.

Why is it that we rarely hear about “angry” or “disrespectful” fuming liberals who demand expanded government spending even amidst shrinking budgets?

Where’s the name calling for those who support continuing welfare for rich farmers and eternal unemployment benefits or tax increases to bail out Cadillac benefit plans for government workers?

Defenders of big bailouts, big spending and big government are likely to suffer big defeats at the polls. But it’s not because independent voters so highly revere TEA party messengers. Rather, it’s the message of less government and more liberty, lower taxes and more freedom, less “educracy” and more learning. That resonates with Democrats, Republicans and Independents, who value American principles of prosperity and personal responsibility.

one addiction is better than any other?

We are led to believe that all drugs are bad, and some even more so than others.

But encouraging addicts to become dependent on a doctor prescribed drug seems counterintuitive.

Basically, it’s not which drugs you are strung out on, but whose.

For the treatment to be effective, counseling is necessary to make a clean break from addiction.

Providing a whole new addiction without providing those in need with counseling is only half the battle.

This is like having a car without any gasoline — no way to make it run or to achieve any progress.

Another problem with administering one drug to substitute another is that the legal substitutions are being sold illegally on the streets. This only fuels new addictions and fresh batches of potential court cases.

Addictions are difficult, there’s no doubt about that.

And you can never truly understand them unless you are plagued by one.

Making a Case

a bit more promising, mixing punishment with rehabilitation.

However, other practices in drug determent seem illogical and cost Kentucky taxpayers even more each year.

In 2002, a synthetic opiate called suboxone was approved for those with addictions to opioids and is used to gradually wean addicts off the initial addiction.

Under current Kentucky law, suboxone is covered

by Medicaid, and costs an estimated $11 million — a bill footed by Kentucky taxpayers.

However, Medicaid does not cover the costs of drug counseling for addictions.

Essentially, the state is paying for people to be strung out on a whole new drug, and offering no way to stifle dependence from a new substance.

Methadone is also often legally prescribed to break addictions to illegal drugs.

What this does is trades one addiction for another, keeping people chemically dependent.

And who’s to say that

POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION

What has happened to the morals of our neighbors, family and judicial system?

Recently in a small close knit community, a blind man 62 years of age was forced to move from the only home that he had ever known. He was able to go and wander the family farm on which he was raised along with his four siblings.

He acquired 25 acres of the family farm and was happy to be able to remain where he was familiar.

As time went on, he fell upon hard times and was in need of financial assistance.

A family member, which he trusted, was working at a loan institution and was willing to loan him the money he needed.

Papers were drawn up and he was asked to sign what he thought was a mortgage, unbeknown to him he was actually signing a deed which took away the only home he had ever known along with 62 years of familiarity of his living space.

Remember, he is blind and was unable to read the document and trusted the person that took away his family home and existing way of life.

After eight years of litigation, the property was awarded to the family member that tricked this kind man into signing over 25 acres of riverfront property for less than $15,000.

Year after year, court dates were set and laid over. Time after time, a jury trial was requested, but denied.

The undersigned neighbors, friends and family believe that this 62-year-old blind man was wrongfully represented by our judicial system. The same system that was created to protect us and our property failed this blind man, the one that was in need of protection from the cruel, dishonest members of our society.

Finding the reasonable cure for addictions

GENERAL CONTACT INFORMATION

It doesn’t seem like nine years have gone by since that September morning.

What at first seemed like a horrible accident became a life-altering event and made what was the normal sound of jet engines a horrifying signal.

It was an event that captured us much the way Pearl Harbor or the assassination of John F. Kennedy did and we came together.

The flags flew high, the prayers sailed upward, and the boundaries that often separated us disappeared.

We watched astonished as those who took up the duty to protect and serve went above and beyond the call of duty.

Our military has always been a source of pride, but those days reminded us of the sacrifice and honor with which our local first responders also serve.

The acts of humanity these public servants perform are often done without the acclaim experienced during those fall days of 2001.

If there was anything positive to come out of those hideous attacks, it was its ability to give us a much greater appreciation for just what they do.

From a distance, it is easy to assume they don’t do very much.

However, when the call comes, they throw themselves into situations the average person simply would not.

Who among us would suit up with more than 30 pounds of equipment and a tank of oxygen to run into a burning building?

Who among us would answer a call not knowing exactly what type of person we might face and what dangers they may pose?

And, who among us would take on a job knowing any call to service might mean we would never return home?

There’s a pretty good chance the answer to those questions is, “Not many of us.”

But, thank goodness, there are those who do.

Some are paid, but many are volunteers — good citizens who want to use their talents and act upon their concern for their fellow man.

There have been 113 law enforcement deaths in the line of duty this year and 54 firefighters who have met the same fate.

All of them doing what most of us could not find it in ourselves to do — placing our lives on the line to save those of others.

There are services these men and women provide all the time that is done much quieter and without fanfare.

No one knows the people and the community better than these and many times their knowledge of certain situations brings out another of their qualities — their own hearts and generosity.

The pain, anger and trauma of Sept. 11, 2001 may have faded.

But, the recognition, appreciation and honor of those who give of themselves so willingly on the front lines of our homes and communities should never be allowed to diminish.

FAITH & VALUES

The News Standard - A5

To improve our schools, parents must get involved James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: What can we as parents do to improve public schools in our area?

DR. DOBSON: Most educators know that parental involvement is absolutely critical to what public schools are trying to do.

Others (fortunately not the majority) see themselves as the professionals and resent parental interference. We should never accede to that idea.

Parents are ultimately responsible for the education of their kids, and they should not surrender that authority. Educators are their employees, paid

with tax dollars, and are accountable to the schoolboard members whom parents elect. The best schools are those with the greatest parental involvement and support.

With that understanding, let me urge you to visit your child’s school to answer questions of interest to you.

Does the staff understand the necessity for structure, respect and discipline in the classroom?

If so, why don’t you call your child’s teacher and the principal and express your appreciation to them. They could use a pat on the back.

Tell them you stand ready to assist in carrying out their important mission. If your school system is not so oriented, get involved to help turn the tide. Meet with parent groups. Join the PTA. Review the textbooks.

Work for the election of school-board members who believe in traditional values and academic excellence.

Let me say it again: Schools function best when the timehonored principle of local control — by parents — prevails. I believe it is making a comeback.

QUESTION: Schools are asked to accomplish many things on behalf of our kids today. They are even expected to teach them how to have sex without spreading disease. What part of the curriculum would you give the greatest priority?

DR. DOBSON: Schools that try to do everything may wind up doing very little. That’s why I believe we should give priority to the academic fundamentals — what used to be called “readin’, writin’ and ‘rithmetic’.” Of those three, the

Even through hardships, we maintain trust with the Lord Dan Newton Divine Guidance Psalm 37: 5 says, “Commit thy ways unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.” (KJV) Frustration must come as the saints of God battle with evil forces. The pain and pressure of torment is nonetheless real as these evil “devices“ ( Isaiah 32:7 ) take their toll on the people of God. The Lord will destroy the plans of the wicked ( Psalm 33: 10 ), but while those plans are active, they can cause much hurt.

Nevertheless, we must maintain trust in the Lord and commit our lives to Him if we are to be victorious. The unusual Hebrew

word galal used here is more often translated as “roll on“ or “roll with“ something. It seems to imply a unity in the commitment, that the committed one is bound up in the actions or activities of the thing or person committed to we “roll on“ or “roll with“ the Lord in our “way.”

Paul spends much of his letter to the Philippians describing the link between the Creator-Savior and the mind, heart, and lifestyle of the Christian who has given his life over to God. “Being confident of this very thing,” Paul says, “that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.“ (Phil. 1: 6) We are to “work our own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.“ (Phil. 2: 12-13)

While admitting that he had not yet “attained,” Paul was so focused on the work of the Kingdom that he was “forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.“ (Phil. 3: 13 -14) God’s promise to “bring it to pass“ is conditioned on our being committed to his sovereign will for our “way.”

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

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

Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

Some things just need to be left behind in order to accept Jesus Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight

A few years ago my wife and I were very fortunate to visit Niagara Falls.

It was beautiful and we viewed the falls from both the American and the Canadian side. This next story really caught my attention.

It was in the early spring of the year and ice chunks were floating down the river and plunging over the falls.

In some of the ice chunks there were dead fish and seagulls were sitting on the large chunks of ice and eat-

ing the parts of the fish that were exposed.

Just before the ice would plunge over the falls the gulls would spread their wings and fly up river to the next available chunk of ice with a fish embedded in it.

One gull, who seemed to be very busy on a piece of ice, was moving toward the edge of the falls very rapidly but seemed to be in no hurry to fly away. One might wondered why the delay.

Suddenly, the ice plunged over the falls as the gull flapped his wings.

He had stayed on the ice too long, his claws frozen in the ice and there was no escape. He plunged over the falls to his death.

Sad to say that there are

some things in this life that people get so attached to that it will eventually lead to their death.

Getting firmly attached to drugs, alcohol and some other vices can surly bring you to the edge of disaster. Holding on to them will be devastating.

But what about the life hereafter? Are you so firmly attached to the things of this world that you cannot let go? What is holding you so tightly that you cannot turn loose of it to accept Jesus as your savior? (Heb.2:3) “How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation.” Oh, why the delay?

Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

most important is basic literacy.

An appalling number of students graduating from high school can’t even read the employment page of the newspaper or comprehend an elementary book. Every one of those young men and women will suffer years of pain and embarrassment because of our failure. That misery starts at a very young age.

A -grade boy was once referred to me because he was dropping out of school.

I asked why he was quitting, and he said with great passion, “I’ve been miserable since first grade. I’ve felt embarrassed and stupid every year. I’ve had to stand up and read, but I can’t even understand a second grade book. You people have had your last laugh at me. I’m getting out.” I told

him I didn’t blame him for the way he felt; his suffering was our responsibility.

Teaching children to read should be “Job One” for educators. Giving boys and girls that basic skill is the foundation on which other learning is built. Unfortunately, millions of young people are still functionally illiterate after completing twelve years of schooling and receiving high school diplomas. There is no excuse for this failure.

Research shows that every student, with very few exceptions, can be taught to read if the task is approached creatively and individually.

Admittedly, some can’t learn in group settings because their minds wander and they don’t ask questions as readily. They require one-on-one instruction from trained reading specialists. It is expensive

Bible Trivia

for schools to support these remedial teachers, but no expenditure would be more helpful.

Special techniques, teaching machines and behaviormodification techniques can work in individual cases.

Whatever is required, we must provide it. Furthermore, the sooner this help can be given, the better for the emotional and academic well-being of the child.

By the fourth or fifth grades, he or she has already suffered the humiliation of reading failure.

The News Standard - A7

Meade County strives to balance awarding good deeds Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Editor’s Note: This is the final story in a seven-part series concerning different aspects of a student’s life in Meade County and the opportunities available to them.

Every kid should know what it feels like to be a star for a day. To some, receiving an award in school may be little. But to others, it’s something they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Each year, Meade County rewards it students for going the extra mile in their studies and sometimes doing a good deed.

But with so many awards given out a couple questions arise: Does a good deed go unnoticed without an award?

Do kids have too much selfesteem to the point where they expect an award?

In the 1970s, the “Self-Esteem Movement” began with the notion that increasing a student’s self confidence would cause higher grades and better attendance. It enamored schools across the nation and created a positive spin in everyday classrooms.

The movement believed if students felt good about themselves, they would, in turn, work harder and achieve success. Teachers wouldn’t try to correct students when they made mistakes; for fear that it would hinder their self-esteem.

However, the movement failed when the outcome didn’t produce well-rounded

2010 SCHOOL SERIES

The core idea of the “Self-Esteem Movement” was to increase students’ self-esteem, but some educators say that push has equaled to lower test scores. students.

Some educators say the time spent on encouraging students to love ones self should have been spent on teaching the basics.

“As with any movement, it could be overdone,” said Ekron Elementary Principal Jon Thomas, adding that he has seen other school districts push self-esteem to the point where the school looks to constantly give out awards.

Thomas noted that it could lead to a state of mind where students are almost too confident to where they think they should receive an award for any good deed.

“It shouldn’t be to where they expect something,” Thomas said. “They should know they deserve it.”

At Ekron Elementary, some students are given a “Panther Pride Award,” which

acknowledges accomplishments and good deeds such as volunteering in clubs or helping a fellow peer if they fall down by giving them a hand up.

The “Panther Pride Award” is geared towards the students who don’t get recognized as much and to acknowledge the good things they do, Thomas said.

While this particular award is aimed to raise self-esteem, Thomas said Ekron Elementary doesn’t overdue it.

“It usually comes as a surprise to them,” he added.

“We do it on occasion. Students have never asked for an award.”

Thomas often encourages his staff to take notice of the little things students do in and outside the school building.

For example, one student

was in a checkout line paying with coins. The student dropped all of his coins and a fellow student helped him pick them up.

Since Thomas aims to give out the “Panther Pride Award” sparingly, he said he doesn’t notice students assuming they should receive an award for a good deed.

Instead, when the students do receive it, their eyes light up from all the excitement since the typical “Panther Pride Award” recipient may not get recognized as much.

“Just one word can make or break a student’s day,” Thomas said. “Some of those kids haven’t had as much recognition and they get a huge smile (when they receive an award.)”

Thomas also tries to boost confidence by sending kids to his office for good things such receiving medals, trophies or doing well in a basketball tournament. Thomas greets the students, congratulates them on their accomplishments and gives them a piece of candy.

“It just makes their day,” Thomas said. “It’s really neat to see them brighten up. To us it may seem small, but it’s huge to them.”

At Stuart Pepper Middle School, they try to recognize students for little acts of kindness.

According to Principal Chad Butler, the idea to acknowledge small acts was sparked after the school held Rachel’s Challenge August 27, which was in honor of Rachel Scott, the first victim of

the Columbine High School massacre.

Instead of awarding students for good deeds, their accomplishment is put into a “Good Deed Box, that was created by a student. The good deed is then written on a piece of paper and made into a chain, thus creating a “chain reaction.”

“We’re trying to teach kids to have empathy for others,” Butler said.

Before Rachel’s Challenge, Butler said SPMS didn’t acknowledge random acts of kindness. They only spoke about student success.

But after hearing Rachel’s story, Butler said his students were motivated to change and recognize good deeds.

“They were all impacted,” Butler said. “Having an assembly was a perfect way to kick that iniative off.”

Meade County High School also held Rachel’s Challenge, though Principal Bill Adams said they haven’t created a similar system.

However, Adams noted that the school does notice all positive things whether it is through announcing it over the intercom, award ceremonies or newsletters.

Battletown Elementary follows a similar structure with their “Positive Attitude = Winning Students Awards.”

According to Principal Jeff Turner, if they see a student do a good deed, the student is awarded a “PAW.” Their name is put into a bowl, three names are drawn at the end of the week and the winners

receive a piece of candy.

“Sometimes (PAWS) is a good thing to help develop positive character,” Turner said.

“But, we try not to go overboard. There is a fine line.”

Turner added that PAWS began in the 2009-10 school year. It was created after observing Stuart Pepper Middle School’s program and how they award students.

For example, Turner said his daughter attends SPMS and they award their straight-A students with a trip to Holiday World.

His daughter was close to straight A’s and the incentive pushed her to reach her goal.

Even though Battletown doesn’t offer big incentives like Holiday World tickets, Turner said his students are down-to-earth and don’t expect exorbitant awards for their accomplishments.

Sometimes a gift as small as a candy bar can go a long way in students’ eyes, but the schools makes an effort to not go overboard.

Another example Turner spoke was about his son, who attends Brandenburg Primary. His son won his class’ treasure box, which was full of fake mustaches, glasses and eye patches.

At first, Turner was surprised at how much his son loved the treasure box, since he has so many other items at home. But then Turner saw how much it meant to his son.

“He was just tickled to death to get it,” Turner said.

He noted he had been “the bad guy” in the process, saying he kept telling board members there should be a better site to choose until finally the site on Old Ekron Road was the board’s final choice.

He gave credit to the Miller family who made the site available along with the adjacent portion of land that will eventually be a new city park.

“We’ve always held that in mind to keep this a scenic area and as natural as possible,” Pace said. “I can’t wait for it to get started.”

Meade County Judge/ Executive Harry Craycroft recalled what the library was like in his childhood.

“When I was growing up, the library was where Leo’s Barber Shop is,” Craycroft said. “They made the move over to where they are now, and everybody thought that was fantastic – thinking look at all the room we’ve got.”

He noted the library’s programs have continued to grow requiring the need for more space.

“It’s going to be exciting when they complete the new building. There will be a lot of services they can offer they just don’t have the space for now,” he said.

Craycroft took note of the children who where participating in the program.

“Out here in front you see the future of Meade County,” Craycroft said. “This library will do great things (for them). They’ll have a place to come and get books, videos, study…whatever they need to do. I’m really excited about them. I maybe a little too old to enjoy any of it except reading the books, but I sure am excited about the youngsters out here and the opportunities it’s going to afford them.”

A special guest of the event was the state librarian and commissioner for the Kentucky Department of Libraries and Archives who told of the importance of libraries to local communities.

“Libraries have been important to our country and our state for a long time,” Commissioner Wayne Onkst told the gathered crowd. “But, there’s never been a time when libraries are more important than they are now.”

He said literacy is important, but the rise of technology has amplified the importance of libraries.

They’re going to find jobs. They’re going to study for their GED and some will even take college classes. They will communicate with people across the world. That’s pretty awesome,” Onkst said.

“We’ve been working really hard for a long time toward this day,” Meade County Li-

brary Board President Sandra Stone said. “We started a five year, long range plan about eight years ago and in that plan was the construction of a library because we realized our facilities were woefully outdated, inadequate to the needs of our community, and we wanted to build a library that would be functional and beautiful and useful for many generations of Meade Countians for many years to come.

“Next year at this time, we will be standing here in front of our brand new, state of the art Meade County Public Library and I can’t wait for that day.”

Sewer From page A4 have done this far is economic development money, which means no increase in fees to support these projects.”

The need for the project was realized after smoke testing revealed an increase in the amount of rainwater intake in the city’s sewer system.

An increase in the amount of water flowing in the system meant more water being pumped to the water treatment facility in Fort Knox, which the city has to pay to be treated.

“Due to the amount of rainwater getting into the system, whatever we pump, we pay for,” Lee said. “So with this rehab, the amount of infiltration getting into the system will decrease tremendously.”

The current system, which was installed in the midto-late 50s, consists of clay pipe which need replacing, according to Lee. Extensive smoke testing in the mid-90s revealed wastewater infiltrating the system.

In 2004, another round of smoke testing revealed even more infiltration.

At the time, Lee was in the process of applying for funding to assist with the rehab project.

Muldraugh originally requested $2.7 million for the sewer rehabilitation project, which was coupled with $2.25 million in BRAC funding awarded As part of the project involved replacing lift stations, including the Harris Street lift station which was undersized during a refurbishment during the early 90s.

The repairs were designed too small in the project, which converted the system from a wet/dry system to a submersive system.

The Harris Street project, which was awarded to project low-bidders Phillips Brothers Construction, of Vine Grove, began May 7 and took 70 days to complete.

The next phase of the project includes the replacement of the ballpark lift station, which will assist in new development on the north side of Muldraugh.

Phillips Brothers also has the contract for that project, which is currently 85 per-

cent completed, according to Lee. The sewer rehab also includes a pipe replacement project. That portion was awarded to Flynn Brothers Construction and is nearly 70 percent completed, Lee said.

Bidding for the second phase of the pipe project is set to begin in mid-October and will include replacing nearly 4,800 square feet of pipe.

The construction phase of the project is the city’s responsibility, Lee said. Once completed, homeowners will be responsible for updating facilities in their homes, he added.

Over time, the homeowners’ cost of updating their systems will be recouped through lower utility bills.

“They will need to update their system, their plumbing, to help alleviate the amount of infiltration getting into the system,” Lee said.

“With the cooperation of the residents and the city, we can decrease the amount of infiltration and ultimately the amount of the utility bills. That is what it’s going to help decrease, due to the fact we are pumping so much rainwater through

Secretary Grayson. “We are pleased that we can provide them with a secure way to cast their ballot but to do so in a way that reduces the amount of time it takes to get a ballot sent to them on the battlefield.”

Kentucky is 100 percent compliant with the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act which was recently passed by Congress and requires states to make it easier and faster for military and overseas citizens to request and cast their ballots. In 2008, over 6,500 military and overseas voters cast their ballots using absentee processes.

In response to the new federal Act, the SBE updated regulations to allow for the emailing of unvoted ballots to military and overseas voters.

The SBE had already allowed for the faxing of those ballots since 1999, but

email access will give Kentucky soldiers and overseas voters unprecedented access to the ballot as quickly as possible.

Voters must deliver voted ballots by mail and the voted ballot must be received by the county clerk by 6 p.m., local time, on election day to be counted.

SBE also created a web application that allows military and overseas voters the ability to determine the status of their absentee ballot showing the voter the date the ballot was sent to the voter and the date the voted ballot was received back to the county.

The SBE also enhanced information on its webpage, www.elect.ky.gov, to make the process more easy to use for these voters.

“Electronic delivery of ballots, especially email, significantly improves the ability for military and overseas voters to successfully receive their ballots in time to vote and return them. My congratulations to Kentucky for taking this important step in comply-

ing with the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act of 2009 (MOVE Act) and for helping America’s military and overseas voters,” said Bob Carey, Executive Director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP).

Kentucky has a long history of providing better protections for military and overseas voters than other states.

In 1984, Kentucky established that all absentee ballots must be sent to voters within three days of receipt of an application for an absentee ballot. In 1986, Kentucky established that absentee ballots must be printed 50 days prior to an election. Indeed, Kentucky has required absentee ballots to be delivered to all voters, who have applied by the ballot printing deadline, 47 days before an election for over 24 years.

That is three days longer than the new MOVE Act’s requirement of 45 days before an election, a deadline many states are struggling to meet.

Burn ban in effect for Meade Staff Report The News Standard

A burn ban, which became effective Sept. 7, has been issued for Meade County.

Meade County Judge/ Executive Harry Craycroft’s office released a

statement declaring the ban earlier this week.

“Prevailing dry weather conditions have created a threat of brush fires in Meade County,” Craycroft said in the release.

“Effective immediately, no person shall light or maintain an open fire at

any location within Meade County.”

Any persons violating the order may be subject to fines not less than $50 and no more than $500, per KRS 67.083.

The ban will remain in effect until sufficient rainfall has occurred.

Field fire breaks out on Concordia Road Staff Report The News Standard A fire on Concordia Road spread to parts of Battletown, Rhodelia, Wolf Creek and Payneville over the weekend, according to Payneville Fire Protection District President Eddie Greenwell.

The field fire started on property belonging to Willis Bosley and came close to damaging a house, he added.

Nearly a dozen fire trucks and emergency response vehicles responded to the scene, including five water tankers.

There were no injuries as a result of the fire,

which took firefighters a couple of hours to extinguish.

The cause of the fire is unknown.

The fire occurred days before a burn ban was enacted by Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Cracroft issued a county wide burn ban due to dry conditions.

He has opened Ammo’s Sporting Goods located at 620 E Broadway and he says the business he is getting has amazed him.

But, it’s taken a little while to get this store up and running.

“I worked in a pawn shop and got them into archery and sporting goods back in 1994, then went to work for the public works department,” Ammons recalled.

“About two months ago, I said, ‘I want to own my own store.’ So, I found my building here and two months later we’re just filling it full.

We have more and more stuff coming in every day.”

And, it appears Ammos has more and more people coming in as well.

“We’re averaging 300 — 400 (customers) a week,” Ammons said.

He says most are coming in for hunting supplies since the season is currently open.

“It’s mostly deer right now, but there are a lot of turkey and dove hunters,” he added.

Ammons says his main sport is hunting, and there

are deer heads along the wall to prove it.

“I hunt a whole lot more than I probably should,” he said jokingly. “Those deer (on the wall) I killed with a bow.”

He said Meade County is full of bow hunters like himself and he carries the supplies they need for their hobby.

He is currently waiting for his federal firearms license so he can offer different weaponry to his customers.

“As soon as it gets here I’ll have guns,” Ammons said.

He hopes to enlarge his customer base in January by offering screen printing as well for youth sports next spring.

He says running the store has not been exactly what he thought it would be.

“It’s been lots more,” Ammons said. “I didn’t think I’d be this busy this quick, but I knew this type of store was needed. I order supplies every day. If I have more than one person ask for it, the next day I have it and I know that’s something I need to keep in stock.

“I want this store to be the place where if it has anything to do with hunting or fishing, you’ll come here,” he added.

He gets jigs and hooks that are made by a local person.

“He’s also going to make spinner baits,” Ammons

said. “I want to use all the local people I can.

“I want to use local because if it’s local, and I’m out of it, I make a phone call and it’s here the next day. I buy my deer corn right here from a local farmer. He bags it and brings it to me.”

Ammons said that while he knows he can’t beat the major superstores, from what he’s found out he believes his prices are comparable.

“At least people don’t have to travel far to get here,” he said. “I’m close to home. I’ve had people tell me they’d rather spend their money here in Brandenburg.”

The Meade County native also wants to be a good community member.

“I have an indoor archery range here,” Ammons said.

“The local 4-H come here every Tuesday night and I don’t charge them for it.

I’ve offered to let the local schools use it as well.”

The store is also currently running a contest for hunters to see who brings in the biggest bags of the season.

“It runs through the end of the season, and we’ll be awarding prizes a few days after the season closes,” Ammons said.

Ammons Sporting Goods can be reached by calling 422-2660.

Highway 60 Yard Sale planned for Oct. 1-3 Submitted by Meade County Tourism One of Kentucky’s most unusual events will come to Meade County again this year when the fifth annual Highway 60 Yard Sale takes place.

During the weekend of Oct. 1-3, eight counties along the highway will team up to present the sale, which will stretch 200 miles from Muldraugh in the east to Smithland in the west.

Taking part along with Meade are Breckinridge, Hancock, Daviess, Henderson, Union, Crittenden, and Livingston counties, according to Russ Powell, director of Meade County Tourism.

“We expect hundreds of people, businesses, and groups to take part,” he says, “and we hope a large number of those will be here in Meade County.”

“Last year, there were 50 yard sales here, a considerable increase over the seven

or so that were held in 2008, the first year Meade County took part,” Powell says.

“It’s a great opportunity for people who’ve wanted to have a yard sale but weren’t sure they would attract many buyers,” Powell said. “It’s also an opportunity for craft vendors, as well as local organizations and clubs that want to hold fundraising events by selling soft drinks, meals, and baked goods.”

“The yard sale will allow visitors from Kentucky and surrounding states to enjoy an exciting shopping experience while enjoying the distinctive flavor of our region’s restaurants, shops, and hospitality, not to mention the beautiful fall colors along the highway” Powell said.

According to Powell, the group of county tourism offices organizing this year’s yard sale is spending nearly $13,000 on newspaper and

radio advertising to encourage people to participate and to shop along the route.

And, Meade County Tourism is encouraging people to participate by: • Contacting all business owners and residents along U.S. 60, asking them to hold their own yard sales and/or to offer the use of their property to others who want to hold sales.

• Putting together a list of those who will allow their property to be used by others to hold sales to assist those seeking sales sites.

•Providing yard signs promoting the sale to all those who register their sales with Meade County Tourism.

“Residents and businesses that offer the use of their property may decide whether to charge a fee as well as the hours and days when they allow their property to be used,” Powell says.

Information about the

Highway 60 Yard Sale is available from Meade County Tourism at 270-4223626 or rpowell@meadekychamber.org. Information also is online at www.highway60yardsale.com and at www.twitter.com/hwy60yardsale.

BBB warns of newest scams Submitted by Louisville Better Business Bureau

1. The Grandparent Scam preys on the emotions of seniors who believe a grandchild is in trouble. A local grandparent lost $12,000 when scam artists contacted her, posing as her grandchild in distress seeking money for a supposed arrest in Haiti. If faced with such a call, indicating an emergency situation, BBB advises seniors to verify the identity of the individual, check-out the story with other family members, and be wary of any requests to wire money.

2. Mystery Shopper Scam — Survey Platinum is mailing letters to the local area that contain checks, usually in the amount of $3,500, in exchange for participation in a “Mystery Shop-

ping Program.” The letter instructs consumers to cash the check and wire the money to an undisclosed location the consumer obtains by calling a “Training Coordinator” at the phone number provided in the letter. BBB warns that the check is not legitimate and should not be cashed.

3. Colton Financial, a company claiming to be located in Farmington Hills, Mich., informs consumers they are approved for a secured loan for $5,000 if they wire a down payment first. Consumers wire the money, never receive the loan, and then are unable to contact anyone with the company. The company has an “F” rating with the BBB for not responding to several complaints. BBB warns consumers to be

wary of bogus loan brokers impersonating legitimate lenders.

4. Military dating scams are surfacing on Internet dating and social networking sites. Scammers pretending to be members of the military are building relationships with women then asking for money.

Once the women send the money, they never hear from their Romeos again.

BBB warns against sending money to someone you’ve met on a dating site.

6. Door-to-Door scams — BBB recommends exercising caution when hiring companies to do home repairs, driveway re-paving, etc. that solicit business door-to-door. Be wary of companies claiming to have “leftover materials” from a recent neighborhood job.

Don’t plant new grass until decent Back to School Special amount of rainflow hits the area Free set of Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources

Predominately, our lawns and pastures are coolseason grasses, which means the grass prefers and performs best in moderate temperatures, 60 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

The best time to plant these coolseason grasses, fescue, orchardgrass, timothy, and ryegrass, is between Aug. 20 and Oct. 1.

However, due to the lack of moisture sowing grass now maybe a big waste of money and time.

Any seed has to have

moisture in order to germinate, sprout. After germinating the plant needs adequate moisture in the subsoil in order to survive.

Right now we have zero moisture in the topsoil and very close to zero in the subsoil.

It will take several good measureable rains in order to replenish the moisture needed.

Therefore, my advice would be to not attempting any seeding of cool season grasses until we’ve had a couple of “good” rains with more in the forecast. (If you have to seed a new lawn, you may want to bypass the expensive, new and improved varieties this year and sow an annual ryegrass.)

This way you may still

get some grass cover, but the seed costs will be a lot less. The downfall to this is ryegrass will die next summer and you will have to redo the lawn next season.

Some people elect to seed grasses in the spring.

Keep in mind immature grass has a very shallow root system. Most spring seeded grasses fail by the end of the summer unless they are irrigated.

Therefore, there is no real good advice for those people needing to get grasses established as soon as possible.

This is the right time to try a new seeding, ordinarily. Not this year though we have been reminded that “Mother Nature” is in control.

Wilson named Iron Man

Meade County Greenwave football head coach Larry Mofield is always concerned about teams “packing up their tents” and giving up throughout the season.

But when the Greenwave faced the 5-A No. 3 ranked John Hardin Bulldogs last Friday, the team staked in their tents and fought back only to lose 28-21 during the waning seconds of the game.

“Football is a lot like life,” said Mofield. “You

get dealt adversity and it comes down to what you’re going to do with it.

You just can’t give up and they didn’t give up. They fought hard tonight.”

Meade County had a chance to tie the game with less than a minute left on the clock and down 28-21. But the offense was unable to complete deep pass attempts by junior quarterback Thomas Wilson.

The first year varsity quarterback did help the team come back from a 21-0 first half deficit. Wilson had a season- and

game-high 193 passing yards, while rushing for a team-high 98 yards. He also threw for two touchdowns and ran one in.

With less than 2 minutes remaining in the second quarter, Wilson capped off an 11-play drive when he hooked up with junior wideout Brady Smith for a 9-yard touchdown.

“I think our kids needed that,” Mofield said about the team’s first touchdown of the game which made the score 21-7. “We finally woke up and we played better the second quarter. I think our kids fought hard in the second See LOSS, page B2

Staff Report The News Standard

Though the Louisville Ironman race was held Aug. 28, two day’s prior Meade County had an Iron Man performance itself.

Greenwave junior quarterback and safety Thomas Wilson received the U.S. Army Iron Man player of Kentucky. The award is given to the best two-way high school football player in Kentucky each week.

Wilson had 243 yard of total offense, throwing for 61 yards and rushing for 182 on 16 carries, including a 49-yard touchdown run.

On defense Wilson made two interceptions including one that set up the gamewinning touchdown.

Wilson followed up his outstanding two-way performance against John Hardin where he rushed for 98 yards and passed for 193 yards. He rushed for one touchdown while passing for two touchdowns.

He leads the Greenwave in rushing, passing, interceptions and touchdowns.

The award was conducted by an online vote, where Greenwave Nation represented itself well by voting Thomas Wilson as the Iron Man athlete of the week.

He edged out Central Hardin’s Tristin Long.

Wilson will not be a finalist for the Army Iron Man of the Year award, which will be given at the end of the season.

OUTDOORS

THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI

Sophomore outside hitter Billy Weick spikes the ball.

The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team does not have a good track record at Elizabethtown. With the 25-14, 25-22 loss to the Elizabethtown Lady Panthers on Tuesday the Lady Waves has been winless since 2003 as a visitor.

“They really wanted this win,” said Meade County assistant coach Loraine Himmelhaver, who had replaced head coach Jennifer Smith who was out due to an illness. “Then they started off with a few errors. That first game they got down on themselves.”

Meade County found themselves in an 11-2 deficit.

Then they received a little spark midway through the

first set when junior middle hitter LeAnna Luney had a block and senior middle hitter Tiffany Filburn had a kill to cut the lead to 16-9.

That was the closest the Lady Waves would get as they went on to lose 25-14 and the team was a little disjointed due to the fact their head coach was absent.

“We have great leadership with (assistant coach Loraine Himmelhaver) and Tiffany, but she’s our head coach,” Luney said about missing Smith on the bench.

“Of course we’re going to need her leadership and her wisdom.

During the second match Meade County bounced back and took a 14-10 lead after a Filburn kill and ace.

Filburn ended the night with nine kills, two aces,

two assists and a block.

Luney also helped the team with two blocks during the second half after returning from an ankle injury she suffered during the Aug. 18 game against Grayson County.

“It’s good to be back and (my ankle) feels good,” Luney said, who ended the night with four kills, three blocks and an assist. “It feels better than it did (last week). I’m glad I waited to play. I just wish I could have gotten back earlier.”

The Lady Waves lost their lead late in the second set when the Lady Panthers went ahead 23-22 in a usually warm gym. It was their first lead of the match since it was 3-2.

See TROUBLES, page B4

B2 - The News Standard

Loss From page B1 half.

Smith ended the night with three catches for 49 yards as a newly converted wide receiver.

“I like it a whole lot better,” Smith said, who started the season as a running back. “Really, whatever I can do to help the team is all that matters. I’m used to catching the ball. I should have caught some of the passes I dropped.”

The touchdown was important after the Greenwave gave up three touchdowns in the first 18 minutes of the game.

“We weren’t ready at first,” Smith said. “We were kind of nervous I think.”

“We were shell shocked early,” Mofield said. “We didn’t meet the challenge.

We were like a deer in headlights at the beginning of the game.”

During Meade County’s first punt of the game, the snap sailed over sophomore punter Zach Bogard’s head. He was unable to get a good kick off which resulted in a negative 5-yard punt. The unusual negative net punt put John Hardin on the Greenwave’s 8-yard line. Landon Savoy trotted into the end zone during the next play to score the first touchdown of the game. After an offside penalty on Meade County, the Bulldogs converted a 2-point conversion run, making the score 8-0.

“We gave them pointblank range to score from,” Mofield said. “You probably can’t keep a little league team from scoring from there.”

Meade County’s special team woes continued during their next punt when, the snap once again flew over Bogard’s head and was recovered by John Hardin for a 16-yard touchdown.

“We simulate game situations in practice,” Mofield said. “We’ll run three or four offensive plays and then we’ll yell out punt.

Then the punt team runs out and kicks it. But tonight, when it matters, we just didn’t make the play.

Sometimes you may have a bad snap but you can’t follow it up with another bad snap.”

Meade County shot themselves in the foot again with 5 seconds left in the second quarter when Wilson dove toward the end zone and was hit in mid-air on the 2-yard line. The ball squirted into the end zone and was recovered by John Hardin for a touchback.

“We should have had that one,” Mofield said about turning the ball over on to goal line. “But that’s part of the game. You can’t bury your head in the sand and say ‘what ifs.’ It was an effort fumble. You can’t

be too mad at a kid trying to make a play. He didn’t drop the football … he was fighting to make a play.”

Two possessions later, John Hardin scored its third touchdown, making the score 21-0 with 6 minutes left in the first half.

During the second half, the Meade County defense clamped down on the shifty Bulldog runners.

After giving up 173 rushing yards in the first half, the Greenwave stifled the running game to 58 rushing yards and only surrendered 84 total yards in the second half.

“We just realized we had to pick it up or else we were just going to get humiliated out there on the field,” said senior defensive tackle Dustin Wells.

Much of John Hardin’s first half yardage came from yards after contact and miss tackles by the Greenwave defense.

“I think you just have to break down and make plays,” Mofield said. “We knew what they were going to do. It was a matter of making plays. I’m disappointed in our tackling.

I think we got to be better at that and we did the second half.”

Wilson helped turned the game around when he intercepted a pass and took it to John Hardin’s 33yard line with 1:47 left in the third quarter.

Nine plays later, Wilson scampered into the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown, making the score 21-14 with 9:17 left in the game.

“It helps us out a lot when we’re down,” Smith said of Wilson’s interception. “When we make a play like that it turns (the game) around for us. It gets our heads back into the game.”

Despite having a suffocating second half defense, John Hardin had one big play that set up the Bulldogs’ eventual game winning touchdown. A 42-yard halfback-pass, trick play set up a 10-yard touchdown.

The score gave John Hardin a 28-14 lead with 8 minutes remaining in the game.

“That was a good call by them,” Mofield said. “You have to give them credit for calling that play. We weren’t expecting it. But when you have those kind of athletes you can do stuff like that.”

The Greenwave cut the lead to seven again, 28-21, when Wilson connected with wide receiver Bo Wilson for an 18-yard touchdown. Bo Wilson ended the night with 45 receiving yards.

Meade County was unable to score the gametying touchdown and the clock ran out on a fourth and long Hail Mary play.

“I’m disappointed in the loss because I think we’re better than that,” Mofield said. “I think we’re a better football team than what we displayed. Maybe we’ll learn from it. The biggest

thing is how will we stick together.”

The Greenwave (1-1) will continue their brutal schedule tonight when they travel to Fern Creek. With an 0-2 start, Fern Creek is deceivingly talented and is hungry for their first win of the season. Meade County has yet to beat Fern Creek since they’ve started playing in 2005.

“These next three games are going to be tough,” Mofield said about his team’s games against Fern Creek, Ballard and Greenwood.

“They may be the fastest teams in the state. It may be like going to the Derby watching these teams run.”

Tonight’s kick off is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Fern Creek.

Tripped From page B1 them come in on every ball and control it. I don’t think we had the intensity to win those balls and get them out.”

Elizabethtown’s first goal came 15 minutes into the game when Lucas’s throw in was deflected past Meade County sophomore goalkeeper Alex Fackler.

Two minutes later, the Panthers mirrored their first goal when Lucas tossed the ball in and was tipped into the back of the net by Elizabethtown to get a quick 2-0 lead.

The Panthers added a third goal with 19 minutes left in the half when Meade County was called for an inadvertent handball. Elizabethtown scored on the ensuing penalty kick.

“Every time we had a hope they could counter us and just put another one in. They deflated us,” Pollock said.

Meade County had several chances earlier in the game when they had a point-blank shot 10 yards away, which created a second scoring chance on the deflection. But Meade County couldn’t capitalize on their offensive opportunities and were shut

out for the first time of the season.

“We just aren’t playing our game,” said senior forward Todd Johnson.

“Whenever we get pressure on us we kick it to the other team. Our passes aren’t going well.”

Meade had seven scoring opportunities in the game, while Elizabethtown had 16 shots.

“We’re seeing a lot of fundamental stuff that’s breaking down in various aspects of the game,” Pollock said. “Offensively and defensively, we’ve done things that have left us looking pretty bad.”

However, the Greenwave weren’t at 100 percent this week. The team had two key injuries since Saturday. During the PRP game, senior sweeper Ethan Madison twisted his knee and should be out a few weeks. Senior defender Michael Clinkscales also tweaked his knee and was released to play on Friday’s Greenwave football game as the team’s place kicker.

“We have two starters out — that might cause the chemistry problem,” Pollock said. “They both have knee problems. Ethan twisted it his knee pretty bad. We don’t know how long he’ll be out. Hopefully, we can get those guys back in. That might

SPORTS

be the trick, but there’s a lot more to it than just two guys.”

The Greenwave opened the season with a threegame win streak but now has dropped four straight including its first two district games. The schedule doesn’t get any easier for Meade County either, according to Pollock.

“It’s not going to get easier at all,” he said. “(During) your first two (district games) you’d like to get one of them.”

“Maybe a little ‘R and R’ will do us some good this weekend,” he added, as the team had a long holiday weekend. “Hopefully, we can get back and bounce back from these few games.”

As for the team chemistry, Johnson said it’s all about finding an identity.

“We have to work as a team,” he said. “We have to find ourselves and get a team chemistry. At the beginning of the season we had good games and confidence. But when (we) get pressured we crack and fall apart. Right now, we just have to dig deep and find ourselves.”

The Greenwave will play at Fort Knox on Tuesday starting at 7 p.m. The Meade County Greenwave soccer program will also hosts the Greenwave Classic JV tournament tomorrow.

Kyle Busch is the first driver ever to win races in three NASCAR divisions during the same weekend.

Bush sweeps, Vickers sets return after surgery

By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week

BRISTOL, Tenn. ­ Just winning the Irwin Tools Night Race wasn’t enough for Kyle Busch.

Bristol Motor Speedway hosted races in the Camping World Truck, Nationwide and Sprint Cup series. Busch won them all, and it’s the first time anyone ever did that since NASCAR began sponsoring three national touring series with the advent of truck racing in 1995.

“I’ve been trying to do this since I got to NASCAR,” he said after the Cup victory.

“This is history, and I’m proud to make it.”

Two others, Brad Keselowski and Elliott Sadler, competed in all three races.

Busch won them.

This year Busch has won a total of 16 races in the three series: 10 in Nationwide, three in Cup and three in Truck.

The Cup victory was Kyle Busch’s fourth at Bristol; his older brother Kurt has won five Cup races at the half-mile oval.

“I love Bristol, and I love winning,” said Kyle. “And to do it for the first time ever in NASCAR, to sweep the weekend, man, that’s pretty awesome.

“I don’t know what to

think. Fortunately, I was able to get it done, be the first one to do it. I’m the first in a lot of things.”

Perhaps Bristol’s huge crowds have grown weary of victories by the Busch brothers. Kyle faced thunderous boos during driver introductions and the celebration following the Cup victory. It didn’t appear to faze him in the least. In fact, it looked as if he enjoyed it.

“I just come out here to do my job,” he said. “I do what I’m supposed to do, and to win races is my job and what that entails. ...

The fans drive this sport.

They’re what makes us go ‘round and get us here every week. They’re passionate about who they like and who they don’t like.

“I’ve been in this position since the start of my career, since I was 16, and it hasn’t changed, and I don’t foresee it changing anytime soon.

We’ve asked this question about 50 million times, and I’ll probably get it 25 million more times. You know, you just deal with it, man.

You just go out there and do what you can.”

races this season. After a 10thplace finish at Darlington Raceway on May 8, he fell ill.

Doctors discovered that Vickers, 26, had developed blood clots in his left leg, left finger and lungs. A regimen of blood thinners made it impossible for him to compete in his No. 83 Team Red Bull Toyota.

Recently, Vickers underwent successful surgery to repair a small hole between the two atriums of his heart.

He also was diagnosed with May-Thurner Syndrome, in which blood flow is restricted because a vein and/or artery are pinched. After surgery, a stent was placed in a vein on July 13 to open it.

Now, however, Vickers expects to return to full-time competition next year.

“Not only did we figure out what the problem was,” said Vickers, “but we were able to fix it ... I’m going to be back in the No. 83 and very excited to be back with Red Bull.”

Vickers, who has mostly stayed away from the track, has spent off time traveling and working out.

“My main priority is getting back to racing next year,” he said. “I’ve been given a gift. Things happen for a reason. I’ve had some time to think back and look at my career, both person-

ally and professionally. I don’t think I’ll change a lot when I come back, but I do think I will change some.

I’m probably going to tolerate a lot less, but at the same time there will be areas I will tolerate a lot more -—just depends on what it is. I have a new appreciation for life. I’m looking forward to it. I feel great and can’t wait to race.”

Vickers, from Thomasville, N.C., expects to be off blood thinners by January, at which point he will get back in a race car and begin testing to prepare for the 2011 season.

“What I love to do is race,” he said. “It is not only my job, but my passion. I’ve been missing that need for speed, the competition, my people and friends in the industry, but at the same time, it has been nice to take a break.”

(Leaving electric lights on, however, does not increase the chances of your home being struck by lightning.) Avoid taking a bath or shower, or running water for any other purpose. Turn off the air conditioner.

Power surges from lightning can overload the compressor, resulting in a costly repair job! Draw blinds and shades over windows. If windows break due to objects blown by the wind, the shades will prevent glass from shattering into your home. *** If Caught Outside *** If you are in the woods, take shelter under the shorter trees. If you are boating or swimming, get to land and find shelter immediately! *** Protecting Yourself Outside *** Go to a low-lying, open place away from trees, poles, or metal objects. Make sure the place you pick is not subject to flooding. Be a very small target! Squat low to the ground. Place your hands on your knees with your head between them.

Make yourself the smallest target possible.

Do not lie flat on the ground!! This will make you a larger target! *** After the Storm Passes *** Stay away from storm-damaged areas.

Listen to the radio for information and instructions. *** If Someone is Struck by Lightning *** People struck by lightning carry no electrical charge and can be handled safely.

Call for help. Get someone to dial 9-1-1 or your local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) number. The injured person has received an electrical shock and may be burned, both where they were struck and where the electricity left their body. Check for burns in both places. Being struck by lightning can also cause nervous system damage, broken bones, and loss of hearing or eyesight. Give first aid. If breathing has stopped, begin rescue breathing. If the heart has stopped beating, a trained person should give CPR. If the person has a pulse and is breathing, look and care for other possible injuries. Learn first aid and CPR by taking a Red Cross first aid and CPR course.

Call your local Red Cross chapter for class schedules and fees.

Paws Corner

By Fifi Rodriguez When Pets Can’t Shoot Straight

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a tip for Kay, who wrote that her 9-month old Dachshund is trained to use a wet pad but tends to miss to one side. She could try using standard kitty-litter boxes, which have high sides. If they are too small for “Betty,” another option is large plastic storage boxes. I have a 10-pound Chihuahua, and the storage boxes work perfectly. I keep an extra storage box so that I can wash the other one when it needs cleaning. I hope she gives it a try! — Teresa P., Manchester, N.Y. DEAR TERESA: Thanks! Those are great suggestions, and I hope Kay will give them a try.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: In regard to the letter about an owner’s spayed female cat that was spraying over the edge of her litter box: I have two male cats and one female, and the males do that sometimes. My solution was to buy regular, no-lid litter boxes (I have three) because they’re much easier to clean. Then I bought three 29-pound plastic tubs and turned them on their sides so the litter boxes fit right in.

I put one sheet of newspaper under the litter box, and one sheet against the back of the tub. This way the pee overspray doesn’t puddle under the litter box. At cleaning time, I replace the paper, scoop the litter, quickly wipe down the sides of the tub ... and everybody’s happy. — Lisa P., via e-mail DEAR LISA: Great idea! That’s a fast solution for cleanup as well.

Thanks so much for sharing it!

By Cindy Elavsky

Q: I’m a big fan of “Ice Road Truckers” on the History Channel. I am especially fascinated by Lisa, the young female driver who manages to keep up with the “big guys” and do her job as well as any of them. What can you tell me about this gal? — Bernard B., Palm Springs, Calif.

A: Lisa Kelly, 29, is in her second year of traveling on the dangerous, icy roads of “Ice Road Truckers.” The former motocross champion and pizza-delivery driver certainly David Hasselhoff can hold her own within this “good-ole-boy” occupation, but she does have to constantly prove herself to her peers. The selfproclaimed tomboy was born in Grand Rapids, Mich., and attended one semester of college at Cornerstone University until circumstances led her to driving the big rigs. She has been married to husband Traves since September 2008.

Q: I am so excited for the fall movie season to begin, as I am getting a little tired of all these high-action, shoot-’em-up summer blockbusters. Which fall movies are you most looking forward to? — Renee G., via e-mail A: Without a doubt, No. 1 on my list is “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1,” which opens Nov. 19. I’m also looking forward to “Nowhere Boy” (Oct. 8), “RED” (Oct. 15), “The Company Men” (Oct. 22), “127 Hours” (Nov. 5), “Love and Other Drugs” (Nov. 24), “How Do You Know” (Dec. 17), “TRON: Legacy” (Dec. 17), “Somewhere” (Dec. 22) and “Blue Valentine” (Dec. 31). What movie(s) are you most looking forward to? Go to www.celebrityextraonline.com/p/fall-movies.html and let your voice be heard!

Q: Who are the celebrities on this season of “Dancing With the Stars,” and who do you predict will walk away with the mirror ball trophy? — Edna J., West Palm Beach, Fla. A: As usual, the lineup of competing celebrities is quite diverse this year. We have: singer/songwriter Michael Bolton, R&B singer/actress Brandy, comedian Margaret Cho, ex-Laker Rick Fox, actress Jennifer Grey, actor/singer David Hasselhoff, actress Florence Henderson, Kyle Massey of Disney Channel’s “Cory in the House,” former first daughter of Alaska Bristol Palin, “The Hills” star Audrina Partridge, reality-show star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and ex-quarterback Kurt Warner.

Given that Jennifer Grey had an excellent dance teacher back in 1987 (the late Patrick Swayze for “Dirty Dancing”), she might have a leg up on the competition. Of the men, my money is on “The Hoff.”

Q: Has “Happy Town” been canceled on ABC? I got hooked on it with the first episode, but it has been replaced with “Castle” in the same time slot. — Josie H., via e-mail A: Citing the ever-popular reason of poor ratings, ABC canceled “Happy Town” at the beginning of the summer, despite a stellar cast that included Steven Webber and Sam Neill. ABC didn’t even let it stick around long enough to air all eight episodes on TV; the final two episodes can be watched online at ABC.com.

• It was existential psychologist Rollo May who made the following sage observation: “It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when we have lost our way.”

• If you had to choose, would you rather be bitten by a skunk or sprayed by one? The creatures can’t do both things at once.

• Yes, there’s a word for it: The plastic tips you find on shoelaces are known as aglets.

• If you’re a professional flute player, it’s likely that your instrument is made from sterling silver, 14-carat gold or platinum.

• A snail’s teeth are located in rows along its tongue.

• It’s a commonly held belief that the Coriolis effect causes water to drain out of sinks and toilets in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere, while it drains in the opposite direction in the Southern Hemisphere. As it turns out, this isn’t true. Drains are so small that the Coriolis effect has no measurable influence at all. It’s the shape of the sink and whether or not it’s level that determines the direction of the drainage.

• Thought for the Day: “Electricity is actually made up of extremely tiny particles called electrons, that you cannot see with the naked eye unless you have been drinking.” -- Dave Barry (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Personal matters claim a good deal of the Lamb’s time in the early part of the week. But by midweek, pragmatic considerations (work, school, job-seeking, etc.) begin to take priority.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The seasonal shift ignites the Bovine’s creative aspects. You could do well if you try to combine your penchant for innovation with the more pragmatic demands of the week.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Ideas come easily to you this week. And never mind that some might suggest they’re unworkable and/or impractical. It’s your vision that counts. Work them out and see what turns up.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal matters continue to dominate the early part of the week. By midweek, more workaday issues once again begin to emerge. Balance your time to give both the attention they need.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A new contact could provide an expanded opportunity. But be sure you get all the facts before you consider signing on. Ask questions, and be wary if you don’t get the right answers.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unexpected development could cause some supposedly resolved disagreements to reignite.

Deal with the situation before it leads to some really serious problems.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A clash of work-linked viewpoints needs to be discussed openly, honestly and calmly by all concerned before it can impede progress on an ongoing project.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The Scorpion’s pragmatic side helps you accept the possibility that a change of plans might be the wise thing to do. Be sure to weigh all your considerations carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some people might not take no for an answer. Never mind. Keep your resolve if you’re sure you don’t want to be involved in a potentially sticky situation.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) All other facts and figures aside, it’s what you learn about potential colleagues that can be most helpful in assessing any decisions you’re likely to make regarding a new project.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might want to reconsider some of your outside commitments if they continue to demand more time than you can spare. Be honest with yourself when making a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Pay attention to that inner voice of Piscean wisdom counseling you to remove those rose-colored glasses and take an honest look at any decisions you might face this week.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a penchant for persuasion that would make you a fine candidate for a political career. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Local pediatrician helps promote childhood literacy

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard After a visit to the doctor, some kids will be leaving with more than just a lollipops and stickers.

They could get a shot of learning the importance of reading at a young age.

Meade County Pediatrics is promoting child literacy by partnering with the Reach Out and Read Program, which sets out to promote reading by training doctors and nurses to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud to their children.

“It’s a great program,” said Teressa Ramsey, office manager at Meade County Pediatrics. “It’s a great way for kids to get books.”

According to a press release, Reach Out and Read was developed by pediatricians and early childhood educators to make literacy a part of routine pediatric care so that children enter school ready to learn.

Exposure to books and reading in the first years of life increases the probability of both healthy child

development and school success.

The goal of Reach Out and Read is to ensure that doctors and nurses give literacy-related advice and children’s books as routinely as immunizations at pediatric visits.

The books have either been donated through private donors or through the grant given by the Reach Out and Read program, Ramsey added.

According to Ramsey, Meade County Pediatrics has been involved with the program since last October and is the only physician in town to offer this type of program.

Meade County Pediatrics is offering books to all kids who want to be involved.

“Kids really love getting books,” Ramsey said.

Dr. Robert Kupper of Meade County Pediatrics handed out copies of “The Bobbsey Twins” to all the students.

Parents and children can get more involved in the program after each “Well Child Visit.”

After their checkup, children between the ages of

The News Standard/Jennifer Corbett

Congressman Brett Guthrie reads to a group of kindergartners from Battletown Elementary at Meade County Pediatrics Wednesday during the “Reach Out and Read Program.” Children ages 6 months to 5 years are eligible for a free book after their “Well Child Visit.”

6 months and 5 years will receive an age appropriate book.

Congressman Brett Guthrie visited Meade County Pediatrics Wednesday to show his support for the program and read to some

nanny’s childcare

kindergarten students from Battletown Elementary.

Guthrie encouraged the children to read and to expand their imagination.

“I’m trying to inspire them to love books,” he said.

4-H program helps build character through dairy and livestock programs Carole Goodwin 4-H & Youth Development

Participating in livestock programs are one of the most recognized aspects of 4-H, but along with learning about animals young people can develop positive character traits to become the leaders of tomorrow.

There are many ways youths can be involved in livestock programs through 4-H, but along with learning about animals young people can develop positive character traits to become the leaders of tomorrow.

There are many ways youths can be involved in livestock programs through 4-H. Programs offered through

4-H include quiz competitions, skillathons, livestock judging, projects and shows.

Owning an animal is not a requirement for participation.

Mentally challenging programs such as quiz contests, skillathons and livestock judging provide young people with skills they can use throughout their lives.

These skills allow 4-Hers to become more informed consumers, team players, better employees and community leaders, regardless of whether they ever won an animal.

Competitions and skillathons test youths’ knowledge in various aspects of dairy and livestock production.

Dairy Jeopardy covers all facets of the dairy industry, and skillathons test their general knowledge of livestock including nutrition, genetics, disease prevention, and equipment. Young people

learn to be more observant, confident and develop effective communication skills.

They also learn how to make confident decisions and logically defend those decisions to a judge.

Livestock projects allow 4-Hers to get firsthand experience in raising and caring for an animal. Caring for an animal teaches youth responsibility.

As the animal grows, young people can take pride in knowing they helped the animal develop and mature.

Livestock shows can be competitive for some youths and parents, but that shouldn’t be the focus.

The goal of 4-H is to raise grand champion kids, not grand champion livestock.

Participation in shows teaches youths the importance of proper public behavior in a contest setting. Losers are

• Center: 422-3993 • Director Cell: 945-6052

Cover your bases with KFB

taught to be courteous to winners, and winners learn to accept their award graciously and humbly.

Participating in shows, such as at the Kentucky State Fair, provides opportunities for youth to develop friendships and network with others from different parts of the state.

4-Hers also have the opportunity during the fair to educate those who are not familiar with livestock shows about show criteria, animal care and maintenance, and 4-H. Opportunities are limitless and empowering for youth in 4-H dairy and livestock programs. For more information on these and more 4-H animal science programs, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270422-4958.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about the original version of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” not the Johnny Depp remake.

I’m pretty sure everyone’s familiar with the story on this one. Famed candy maker Willy Wonka holds a contest by hiding five golden tick-

ets inside his famous Wonka bars. Whoever finds a golden ticket will win a tour inside his magical chocolate factory.

Right from the get-go, during the musical candy store scene, it struck me as a type of whimsical everydaymagic kind of movie, and by the time it had reached its ridiculously-wonky-yetsomehow-touching ending, I realized that I had just witnessed the kind of unique creativity that classics are made out of, mostly for the better, but sometimes for the worse.

I’m not saying that this is a bad movie — far from it in fact — only that some of the wilder elements, such as the infamous tunnel scene, simply flew over my head.

But for every utterly incomprehensible moment that occurs onscreen, there is an instance of profound magic. Case in point: the viewer’s introduction to an entirely edible room, sung to the tune of “Pure Imagination.”

Gene Wilder’s portrayal of the titular Willy Wonka is also noteworthy. His horridly loud fashion-sense and tongue-in-cheek personality is the stuff of legends today, and he possesses an odd charm that, much like his tasty creations, is almost reservedly maniacal (if there is such a thing).

But what I find even more impressive is that he brings a sort of self-awareness to the character that makes him be-

lievable despite being what some would call “totally off his rocker.”

Overall, I found the movie to be enjoyable. The music and songs are delightful and I love the creativity that went into the various facets of the chocolate factory, although I found the Oompa-Loompas to be a tad grating after so long.

But the thing that I enjoyed the most is that it reinforces the virtues of childhood and makes the case that you don’t have to be a child in order to see the world through a child’s eyes.

I, personally, find this to be the film’s single greatest attribute.
