City, county revisits overhauling nuisance issues By Brian Graves The News Standard Residents of Meade County who may ﬁnd themselves next door to abandoned, dirty, noisy, and dilapidated properties may have no forceful recourse to remove the next-door nuisance. The City of Brandenburg has an ordinance, but is currently discussing the possibility of making changes.

Meade County had one, dropped it in favor of an abandoned property ordinance, but has a new one that has been discussed and could potentially be revisited in the future. Brandenburg’s ordinance, in summary, allows a designated officer to give a citation and allow five days for the situation to be cleared. If not, the law gives officials the right to go onto

the property do whatever is necessary. A random review of various Kentucky municipalities shows Brandenburg’s ordinance is, for the most part, the same as other towns with the exception of an absence of protection against noise nuisances. At Brandenburg City Council’s recent meeting, council members were presented with the case of 628

“Nuisance is what lowers property value.”

the property. Council members considered having a “hearing” for the owners to attend so their case could be heard with the hopes an amicable solution could be worked out. The city council has

scheduled that meeting prior to the October regular council session. However, City Attorney Darren Sipes presented some reservations about the city’s process as stated by the current ordinance. “Our nuisance ordinance was provided to us by a publishing company out of Ohio,” Sipes told council See NUISANCE, Page A2

Fort Knox feeling the BRAC changes By Brian Graves The News Standard

Col. Carl Schwartz, Fort Knox garrison commander, told the Meade County Chamber of Commerce last week the area is feeling the BRAC changes. “Fort Knox is a crazy place to be right now,” Schwartz said. “We’re going through the major transformation of our lives.” He noted Fort Knox is considered the sixth largest city in the commonwealth now and there are 41,000 people currently at the base. “We’re going to bubble up to about 52,000 and we’re approaching that pretty quickly,” he said. He noted the armored school has not left yet and wouldn’t start See BRAC, Page A7

The LST 325 traveled Friday through Meade County on the Ohio River returning to its homeport of Evansville, Ind., from a visit to Marietta, Ohio. Several people lined the riverbank at Brandenburg’s Riverfront to greet the ship as the song “Anchors Away” blared from its speakers. The ship was used during WWII in the Arctic and was turned into a memorial in 2000. It’s currently listed on the Register of Historic Places and is open for

public touring. The boats of this class were designed to cross the Atlantic bearing tanks for landing in Europe. The unique thing about the design is it was able to do this with the deck the tanks were stored on ﬂooded. It also included a large ballast system allowing the decks to be pumped out when the forces were prepared to take the tanks to the beaches. The LSTs also have a history with Fort Knox that still exists. In April 1942, a mock up of the well deck was con-

structed at Fort Knox to help solve the problems of ventilation with the boat’s well-deck. The interior of the building duplicated all the features found inside a LST. Fort Knox supplied the tanks used during the testing and the building remains at Fort Knox today. The LST 325 takes a few trips a year from its homeport in Evansville, Ind. This year, it has traveled to Pittsburg as well as taking its recent Ohio journey. Tours are available Tuesday through Thursday when it is docked in Evansville, Ind.

Kentucky jobless rates slightly rise in Aug. Staff Report The News Standard

Jobless rates in Kentucky rose slightly last month, the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet’s Ofﬁce of Employment and Training (OET) announced in a press release last week. Jobless rates in August edged there way upward, rounding off the 9.9 July rate to 10 percent. Jobless rates were 10.8 last August. The state’s economy is struggling to gain momentum. Nationally, seasonally adjusted jobless rates increased from 9.5 percent in July 2010 to 9.6 percent in August. “Kentucky’s economy is struggling to mount a sustained recovery as consumers keep a tight rein on spending.

Flippin’s Run boat ramp design causes quagmire By Casey Tolliver The News Standard The newest of the two boat ramps, which was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1997, was initially created to alleviate woes of area boaters and ease access to the Ohio River. However, the layout of the ramp has impeded boaters’ abilities to reach the river, which is the crown jewel of local tourism. “For one thing, the ramp’s built in the wrong place,” local boater Jeff Adkisson said. “It needs to be a lot wider. That ramp is just hard to back down and in my Chevy, you cannot turn around, with or without my trailer. They didn’t build it big enough.” Instead of constructing a new ramp, Adkisson and other boaters feel that other options could have been explored. “The old ramp, I think they should have dozed that and turned the ramp around,” Adkisson said. “And if they wanted to build a better ramp, they should have built anoth-

Nuisance From page A1 last week. “They sometimes put together these generic ordinances that don’t take into effect a lot of the case law on things like this by the courts.” Sipes noted the current city ordinance allows the property to be entered for inspection. Then, if needed, the owner is sent a notice and given a certain number of days to comply. If they do not, the city can go onto the property and remedy the nuisance which includes trash or, according to Sipes, “If it’s an old building, you can tear it down.” “I just don’t feel comfortable with that,” Sipes said. Sipes said he felt there should be a due process hearing where the owners are able to have their say. “Or at least give them a notice we are going to have a hearing,” he added. Sipes also noted the ordinance mentions a sanitation officer to give the owners notice. “We all do that,” said Mayor David Pace. “We all go look when somebody calls in a nuisance. I guess I’m the codes enforcement officer for the city when it comes down to it.” Sipes said he felt better about giving owners a chance to bring an attorney if wanted and allow them to present evidence. “We can present our case and they can present theirs,” Sipes said. “Anytime we start removing or taking down a building — doing something on someone else’s property — just brings up concerns to me about taking property without just compensation violating someone’s Constitutional rights.” Sipes warned these types of cases are finding their way into the courtroom more often. “City governments are doing this and it’s getting pretty heavily litigated,” Sipes said. Pace reminded council the letters that went out to these particular owners went out two years ago, “And we’ve not heard any correspondence.” Pace said he finally found one of the owners and, “I thought they were fixing it. I guess they were stripping it.” “I think for us we need to be safe and sound, but I think this one is to the point (to do something),” Pace added. Sipes said he would draw up a new ordinance for the council’s consideration, but there should be items that gives greater protections to the city. “We don’t want to create a monster here,” Pace added. Meade County Planning Director Tony Colletta said the county’s current ordinance, an abandoned property ordinance, “doesn’t allow for anything.” “Basically, it’s a non-enforceable statute,” Colletta

Meade Countians and boaters from neighboring counties enjoy the convenience of the Ohio River, but some find it difficult to access the river at the Flippin’s Run Boat Ramp located in downtown Brandenburg. er ramp at Wolf Creek.” In October 1966, The U.S. government acquired the title to the 33.40 acres to build a boat ramp in conjunction with the Cannelton Locks and Dam project. The federal government authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Cannelton Locks and Dam project in an said. “It doesn’t have any impact on occupied property or current use you could call nuisances.” Colletta said the current codes, which replaced the county’s former nuisance ordinance, reads like the intent was to act as a nuisance ordinance. “However, it only applies to property that has not been occupied or been disconnected from utilities for more than six months,” he said. “And, the only action that is permitted to be taken under it is to write the last known property owner, wait seven days, and then turn it over to the county attorney. There aren’t any enforcement provisions. We have never actually had one prosecuted that I am aware of.” Should the county eventually pass a nuisance code, Kentucky law says there must be a codes enforcement officer and a codes enforcement board. While Colletta did not want to address the Brandenburg situation directly, the law he referred to could serve to complicate Brandenburg’s matter. Kentucky law 82.710 does state that any local government establishing a nuisance ordinance “shall provide for the establishment of a hearing board and hearing officers” which the city does not currently have. “Basically, the state law sets up ‘code court,’” Colletta said. “The officer cites you then that citation can either go to the code enforcement board where you can either pay the fine or you can appear before the board when the fine could be much higher. You still will be required to abate the nuisance.” He added that state law is “very specific” in its nuisance ordinance process. Colletta also cited the city of Muldraugh for how it has handled the problem. “They had the right idea,” Colletta said. “They enacted what is called the ‘International Property Maintenance Code.’ It is an established code for property maintenance. They adopted that as their local code. It contains all the provisions of a nuisance ordinance without being a nuisance ordinance. It is already proven. It’s been tried in court. It’s enforceable.” He added his office as planning director gets approximately 15-20 complaints a month that would fall under a nuisance ordinance. “Planning and zoning is about ‘use’ of property, not ‘condition,’” Colletta said, emphasizing that all he can do is forward those complaints to the county attorney. He produced a petition county citizens had presented once before Fiscal Court asking for a nuisance ordinance to be passed. “Nuisance is what lowers property value,” Colletta said.

effort to modernize the Ohio River navigation system, according to Carol Labashosky, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers public affairs officer. A number of public access sites were planned as part of the Cannelton project in order to ease recreational access to the Ohio River, including the Flippin’s Run boat ramp.

In April 2000, the U.S. government quit claimed the acreage the Cannelton Locks and Dam Brandenburg site that includes the riverfront park and boat ramps to the City of Brandenburg, according to Labashosky. However, Brandenburg Mayor David Pace said he was under the impression

that the park was quit claimed to the city, but that the boat ramps still remain under the charge of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The city is also aware of boaters’ concerns and problems with the boat ramp, including the narrowness of the ramp. “We’ve discussed the prob-

lems with several boaters and tried to come up with ways to make the ramps better,” Mayor Pace said. “Of course, you have to get a design and get it approved by the Corps. It’s a big project.” City officials have met with an engineer to assess the ramp site, Pace added. Other concerns with the ramp include problems with erosion at the bottom of the ramp. “We’d like to stabilize the erosion,” Pace said. “It’s eroding so bad that we get a 10 to 12 foot well at the bottom of the ramp, and we’re trying to stop that.” Though the imperfections of the ramps are being brought to the forefront, the ramps do have features beneficial to boaters and river enthusiasts. The Brandenburg ramps aren’t all bad, and have features that can assist boaters, according to Adkisson. “I do like having the docks on them,” he said. “You don’t have to pull up onto the rocks to load passengers.”

“A Little Dignity, Please”

I have always struggled to cope with change. So I took it pretty hard when my boss decided to alter the arrangement of our offices last week. After more than six months at this job, I had grown accustomed to my office the way it was. I was fond of its layout, and could have probably navigated my way past my office furniture and to my desk chair with my eyes closed. I found it comfortable, like a home away from home. When I walked in to see my furniture being shifted the change-fearing part of me nearly had a panic attack. The feng shui (pronounced fung shway) of my office had been drastically altered, and it was

were going by on Old Ekron Road — I could see them in my periphery, I could just never see the broader view. I wasn’t seeing exactly what was going on out there. But with my new view, I can confirm they are there, whizzing by. The angle you look at people, situations and even current happenings may need to be adjusted. Doing so may give you a window view to the world, able to see what is really going on, not see the world as just a line of blurs in your periphery. I should be thankful for my office, and for such a large window to let the sun in. It’s much better than working in a closet and it’s much more important to have a proper and clear view. Now if I could only figure out how to stop daydreaming and staring out the window.

is to improve relations between the Muslim world and the West. Despite these goals, Imam Rauf’s intended name for the new center was the “Cordoba House”, a reference to the Spanish capital where Muslim conquerors vanquished Catholics in the 8th century. The site was renamed to a more neutral “Park 51” which notes the four adjacent buildings on downtown Park Place, which the site is slated to occupy. Call it whatever you want, this proposed building is, in my opinion, a slap in the face of every freedom-loving American. Don’t get me wrong. I am a strong believer in the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. That includes the First Amendment and “freedom of religion.” Do I believe that Imam Rauf has the right to build a mosque within the shadow of the Twin Towers? Absolutely. What I have a problem with is the Imam’s stated goal and the teachings of the Quran, which is that infidels (non-Muslims) are to be “converted or destroyed.”

To which philosophy does the Imam subscribe to? Even more disturbing, why has the State Department financed a recent trip by the Imam to the Middle East to promote the construction of this “community center” at the expense of the taxpayers? At the same time, courts are forcing the removal of any Christian symbol from public places! This is NOT a question of “rights.” Muslims absolutely have the right to construct a mosque anywhere they have the means to. It is, rather, a question of sensitivity. For most of my life, I have been taught to be sensitive and tolerant to the needs and views of others. I must admit that, even though I have tried, I have not always been successful in my tolerance. In those cases that I have been intolerant, I have been advised that I have some sort of flaw of which I should repent. I find this interesting. It seems to me that, although I should be tolerant of the views of others, whenever others are not tolerant of MY views, I should be tolerant of their intolerance.

EXCUSE ME?!?! What has this nation become?!?! Now, as if to add insult to injury, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the third in line to the leadership of the greatest nation on God’s Green Earth, the Honorable Nancy Pelosi, (I apologize for the ‘honorable’, it IS protocol, after all), has said that “There is no question that there is a concerted effort by some, and I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition for a mosque being funded.” HUH?!?! You have got to be kidding me!!! Ms. Pelosi, are you telling me that some patriotic Americans have the courage to question a symbol of intolerance in the center of the greatest tragedy of American history, and you want to investigate how this effort is being funded??? Pardon my intolerance, but have you lost your mind?!?! Is this TRULY the elected leadership of our country? If so, I have only four words for Ms. Pelosi… Investigate me, Madame Speaker!

You should investigate me, Speaker Pelosi Jeff Johnson Ky. Patriots Group Most of us are aware of the current controversy concerning the construction of a “Muslim Community Center” and mosque that has been proposed for a location only two blocks from the site of the worst attack ever on American soil. That attack, carried out on Sept. 11th, 2001 by members of the radical Islamic group al-Qaeda resulted in the deaths of 2,995 people in three states. Much like the attack on Pearl Harbor, or the assasination of President Kennedy, anyone that was over the age of 10 could tell you exactly where they were, and what they were doing on that fateful morning. Now, just short of nine years after that infamous attack, salt is being thrown into the wounds that still remain from that horrible day. The proposed community center is the vision of Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, a Kuwaiti-born American, whose stated lifetime goal

to me that I had other options. That if I was situated a different way, I could see things differently. And it’s a lot like life: when I form an opinion, it’s sometimes hard to accept ideas and opinions that differ from mine, until I look at it from a different point of view. When we get happy with the way our views are situated, our ideas become stale and listless. And when we are satisfied with the way we perceive things, we no longer desire to accept or even come up with new ideas or the opinions of others. Fresh perspectives and ideologies often become stifled by a lack of inspiration, usually because we are satisfied with our old ways of thinking. Sometimes it’s nice to take a step back and realize the way you think about and look at things may not be the best. I always knew the cars

As I was struggling to cope, it dawned on me I had become complacent in my comfort. What was I panicking about? I would no longer be staring at the faux wooden panels of my office when I looked up from the screen of my Mac. No. Now I had a prime window view, a fresh look at the traffic on Old Ekron Road. It was poignantly obvious that I had become satisfied with my drab view, at some points even forgetting there was a window behind those wide slatted blinds.

POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION

This is in response to the Letter to the Editor in the Sept. 17 issue of The News Standard regarding cats being trapped in Muldraugh or any other area of Meade County. The citizens of Meade County have a right to protect their property and I commend the mayor of Muldraugh for helping his residents. But what I don’t like, Mr. Frenzel, is someone making statements when they don’t know what they are talking about nor have witnessed. No animal that comes into this shelter is “promptly destroyed” (your words) unless it is sick or vicious. Even sick or badly injured animals are each looked at. Some are traded cage to cage, some or able to be doubled up and yes, unfortunately, too many fall. And, no, Don, you, nor I, can save them all, but we can watch our words.

Letter to the Editor

Dealing with a new way to look at things

GENERAL CONTACT INFORMATION

The office of the President of the United States holds the power and responsibility of no other like it in the world. There is something about those who hold the office, or who have held the office, that brings a respect to that person — even if sometimes grudgingly. If proper thought is given to the question, it makes one wonder just why anyone would want to be president. There can be no proper training for the job, and despite the argument given some candidates might not have the proper experience for the types of problems that reach that big desk in the Oval Office the training and experience just does not exist. Pondering the many files of information made known only to a president, and kept from the public for national security reasons, it has to be sobering when anyone enters that office for the first time and has their first briefing. And so, it’s right and proper we pay respect to our former presidents. Many of that limited brotherhood have done remarkable things during their post-presidencies. Herbert Hoover was called upon by President Harry S. Truman to aid in post-WWII famine relief and also helped Truman with a landmark reorganization of the executive branch of government. Richard Nixon, despite the disgraced way in which he left office, returned to the geopolitics that proved to be his real expertise. He was called upon by every president who served after him for his advice on dealing with the world — especially the then-Soviet Union and China — as well as writing several highly praised books on the subject. Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush all settled to quiet lives mostly out of the public spotlight. Bill Clinton has formed an organization to deal with various issues from AIDS to women’s rights around the world and has teamed with both father and son Bush to assist in helping in the humanitarian aftermaths of the Haiti earthquake, the Katrina hurricane, and the 2008 Asian tsunami. In most all instances, while the ex-presidents were loyal to the party when needed, they left their successors alone, helped when their former position would bring attention where needed, and enjoyed life after having the toughest job in the world. However, one remains unlike the rest and in some ways doesn’t hold the dignity of the others. Former President Jimmy Carter has just released a book of his presidential diaries. The major story has been his suggestion the late Sen. Edward Kennedy spitefully held up passage of a health care bill because the senator did not want Carter to get any credit. What seems shameful is, despite what you think of either man, Carter only printed this after Kennedy is no longer on the scene to answer the allegation. Agree or disagree with him, health care was one of Kennedy’s major goals during his time in the Senate. And, while Kennedy could play politics with the best of them, there seems to be enough evidence Kennedy would have wanted health care passed no matter who got the credit. Even in the Clinton administration, Carter would throw himself into global politics without seemingly any concern for whatever diplomacy may be taking place behind the scenes. And while it’s fine for expresidents to visit other countries and visit foreign leaders, the distinction they hold also beings a discretion they should hold as well. It’s almost as if he remains in constant competition with his successors. And now this week, in the ultimate ego trip, Carter proclaimed, “I feel that my role as a former president is probably superior to that of other presidents.” The statement was quickly revised saying his presidential center gave him “superior opportunities.” But that statement, in light of Carter’s history, seems a little difficult to take. Carter has in fact been involved in some wonderful programs such as Habitat for Humanity. He just needs to remember he is an ex-president and try to retain the dignity and honor of having once been selected to hold the office. Shameless self-aggrandizement just doesn’t hold to that standard.

FAITH & VALUES Event teaches people to share the ‘light’

The News Standard - A5

Friday, September 24, 2010

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Church was anything but ordinary last week as Catholics from all around Meade County gathered in the Farm Bureau building. Patrons met each night Sept. 14-16 to discuss, reﬂect and hear some motivational words from the main speaker, Gary Montgomery. The theme of the mission was to “give the light away,” and that’s exactly what Montgomery taught in his sermons. Montgomery, who hails from Louisville, spoke to a large crowd each night and shared his words of wisdom on living a fuller life, being closer to God and sharing his faith. His enthusiasm and fun personality was apparent as he spoke each night telling personal stories from his own experiences and how that led him to God. In the beginning of his speech last Thursday, Montgomery asked the crowd, “Where did someone see Jesus in you?” One person answered, “During counseling sessions.” Another replied, “While taking care of my 95-year-old mother.” “What we want is for Jesus to be our light,” Montgomery said. “We need to open up that box and let that light out … letting our light shine for all.” Montgomery correlated his point with a story about his grandson, Caleb. At his home,

he and Caleb like to play with balloons. One day, Caleb realized that if he lets go of a balloon it would float away. Caleb also found out that a balloon can pop, and once it did, he began to cry. “I realized that I needed to teach him that balloons pop,” Montgomery said. “Life isn’t all fun and games.” Montgomery then turned to the audience and said, “Have you ever had a balloon pop? What I need you to do is be ready when those balloons pop.” “Life is difficult and some people don’t prepare for the challenges in life,” he said. Montgomery added another aspect that will aid with life is what people believe. “What you believe will dictate your actions,” Montgomery said. “Actions speak louder than words. It always has and it always will.” For example, Montgomery said he used to teach at Assumption High School in Louisville. Typically, the students would stroll through the hallways frowning. “The first step to the road to success is to smile,” he said. “Simple actions can influence.” Montgomery taught that aspect to his students and soon, they were trying to smile as they walked in the hallways. “Folks, we can influence people,” he said. It is also vital to not let the little things in life come in the way of a person’s relationship with Jesus.

Sunday, September 26th Service begins at 10:45am with dinner on the grounds following

EVERYONE is welcome to attend. Come & meet the new pastor, Larry Powell THE NEWS STANDARD/JENNIFER CORBETT

Gary Montgomery speaks to a crowd of people during the Catholic mission last Thursday. “Jesus is always going to be there with his arms around me,” Montgomery said. “When we love Jesus the rest of the answers will come.” One of the ﬁnal stories Montgomery told involved his father, who was in the last few weeks of his life. Montgomery visited his father in the hospital and his father turned to him and said, “Son, I wish we would have gone ﬁshing more.” Once he heard those words, Montgomery forgave his fa-

ther for not being there for every event in his life. But he also made it a point from then on to be there for his kids, whether it be coaching softball or being there throughout their bumps in life. “Forgiveness is not an emotion,” he said. “It’s a choice. We need to be bold in our belief with Jesus Christ. But give it to people with love … let people know how good their smile looks. Just do simple things like that and they will love being around you.”

Gospel trio brings soft melodies to BUMC By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

THE NEWS STANDARD/JENNIFER CORBETT

Brad Painter, Carroll Melvin and Don Herbert performed gospel songs at Bethel United Methodist Church last Friday.

Bethel United Methodist Church was filled with the sounds of worship and praise last Friday as “The Parables of Christ” performed some original gospel songs, as well as some cover songs. Dressed in black suits and purple ties, “The Parables of Christ” members Brad Painter, Carroll Melvin and Don Herbert, performed in front of a large audience at BUMC and got every audience member tuned in with their soft melodies and easy ballads. This isn’t the ﬁrst time the North Carolina-based group traveled to Brandenburg to perform, as they performed at BUMC last year. Merchandise was available in the front of the church for people to buy at the end of the concert.

Don’t be afraid to turn to God in a time of need Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight A fellow who had grown up in the city bought a farm and several milk cows. In the feed store one day he complained his best

Trivia

cow had gone dry. “Aren’t you feeding her right?” asked the store owner. “I’m feeding her what you’ve been selling me,” said the man. “Are you milking her everyday?” The man replied “Just about. If I need a glass or two of milk for breakfast, I go out and get it. If I don’t need any, I don’t get it, I just let her save it up.”

Glad Tidings Christian Center’s

The feed store owner had to explain it doesn’t work that way. With milk cows, you take all that’s there, or you eventually have nothing. I am convinced that it is the same way with God. Asking for His power in one or two small doses, or asking sporadically only at our convenience, may mean that for us, the source dries up.

In John 10:10, Jesus said He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. The bible tells us that God cares about our every need, no matter how small, or large. Yes, God can supply our every need, so don’t be afraid to ask God for all He has. He has a large supply. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Meade County Jailer

Our current, annual jail budget is over 1.6 million dollars (Meade County Jail Budget 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010). This amount does not include the payment on the jail itself. Our County jail does not need to be a sinkhole for taxpayer dollars. After researching, I have found ways to reduce the jail budget and increase the revenue without sacrificing the safety of our community.

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard The city of Muldraugh took a break from its daily activities to enjoy some fun in the sun, as well as show off some inner talents. People gathered in front of the Muldraugh Fire Department to celebrate Muldraugh City Fest last Friday and Saturday, the event was dedicated to Vietnam veterans. Across the street, children were able to partake in some enjoyable rides. Other attractions included pony rides, face painting, children’s games and a petting zoo that featured llamas, goats and miniature horses. On Friday, community members helped themselves to a chicken dinner at Muldraugh Methodist Church, and took part in a cornhole tournament later that night. On Saturday, a pork chop dinner was held in front of the fire department. People displayed their vocal abilities in a karaoke contest, where the winner received a $100 prize. Later on in the evening, patrons participated in a street dance. The festivities ended with some free entertainment, which included a tribute to Elvis Presley performed by Billy Kelley and a Charlie Pride Impersonator.

Fatal wreck claims life of Meade resident Staff Report The News Standard A Meade County man was killed as the result of a single-vehicle accident. According to Kentucky State Police reports, Kevin L.

Because of the massive influx, the commander told local businesses those newest arrivals will be dependent upon being able to live elsewhere. “We do not have any housing on Fort Knox for families and soldiers to move (into to). Everybody has to live in your communities. It’s going to be that way for a long time,”

Post received notice of the accident at 1:02 a.m. For reasons that remain unknown, Anderson apparently lost control of his 2006 Nissan Maxima, causing the vehicle to veer off the right shoulder and strike a rock wall. After striking the wall, Anderson’s vehicle began overturning and crossed US 60. It then struck another rock wall along the left shoulder of the road.

Kroger parking lot packed with classic cruisers to fight cancer By Casey Tolliver The News Standard

The Brandenburg Kroger’s Cultural Council has worked fervently to raise money for breast cancer. The council, which is a group of employees who meet once a month to generate ideas of keeping moral up at the store and also to raise funds for causes afflicting the community, has hosted events in the past to raise money, such as bag-offs, chili cook-offs and bake sales, but wanted a fresh approach to generating funds. But they had never hosted a car show until last Saturday. “We just wanted to try and get something different going on. And it’s been a success,” store co-manager and member of the cultural council JoNell Biddle said. The council raises money for other causes, but decided to dedicate the car show to breast cancer due to it’s prevalence and impact locally. “Breast cancer is a disease they need to get a handle on and get a cure for, and this helps,” Biddle said. “And there are a lot of people in this community affected by breast cancer. This is a way of giving back to the community.” The show, which featured 55 classic rides from around the area — including Meade County, Hardinsburg, Cloverport, and Indiana — showcased many different makes and models.

Classic rides from Meade and adjacent counties came together in the Kroger parking lot last Saturday to raise money for the fight against breast cancer. Included in the vintage menagerie was Brandenburg resident Leon “Grease” Gibson’s white ’49 Lincoln chop top, which is much more than a show car, he said. “I drive this thing everywhere, this is not a trailer queen,” Gibson said, “It’s just a big old fun toy. It’s just fun to drive.” Gibson’s hot rod features a 350/350 combination, which is a 350 Chevrolet engine which features a 350 turbo transmission. The body style was manufactured only between 1949

and 1951 and the top of the car has been chopped six from its original height. Dummy “laker” exhaust pipes adorn the side of the car, which features an east coast chop. To get in the car, a popper underneath the car below the door must be pressed by foot. All of these features combine for a monumental driving experience for Gibson. “Drive it like you stole it, right,” he said. “What’s the point of buying a hot rod if you’re not going to drive it? See, mine has bugs on it, be-

said in the release. The retail sector, which is the largest employment sector in the state is being attributed to Kentucky’s decrease in jobs. And despite the overall decrease in available jobs, there was growth in other sectors. “While retail trade accounted for the majority of the decrease in this sec-

tor, there was employment growth in the transportation, warehousing and utilities industry because of the expansion at a shipping company,” Detzel said. A monthly estimate of the number of Kentuckians unemployed during August calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was nearly 2 million.

Beshear said. The Commonwealth’s fleet included 4,639 vehicles as of August 2010. That number is down 253 vehicles from January 2008. Of the current fleet, 49 percent of the automobiles are five years or older or have logged more than 100,000 miles. Another 36 percent are seven years or older or register over 140,000 miles. “We are keeping our fleet vehicles longer and when they must be replaced, we are looking at smaller, more fuel efficient options,” Sec.

A 2005 Chevy Tahoe was the highest selling item, bringing in $8,800. “Fleet surplus auctions are a tremendous resource for anyone looking for a good deal, but also provides a great benefit to the local governments who, like the state, are also facing difficult budgetary circumstances,” said Jonathan Miller, secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet. “Through this partnership between Fleet Management and Surplus Properties, we are saving tax dollars at multiple levels.” The number of people who registered as potential bidders was 492, an increase of 54 from the last Division of Fleet Management Auction that was held Sept. 22, 2009.

Submitted by the Kentucky Finance Secretary’s Office FRANKFORT — In an effort to generate revenue, reduce expenditures and decrease the state’s fleet, the Finance and Administration Cabinet’s Division of Fleet Management and the Division of Surplus Property held a public auction last week to sell used state vehicles. “Surplus auctions generate much-needed revenue in tough economic times while also offering good deals for Kentuckians bidding on the vehicles,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “The state’s fleet is essential in maintaining any number of programs and services for the public, but in an effort to stretch every dollar as far as possible, we are using those vehicles longer and for more miles than in the past.” At last week’s auction, 156

There are many benefits to physical activity. For adults and older adults there is strong data showing that physical activity will lower the risk of heart

disease. Exercise allows the heart to function better and makes the muscles stronger for everyday activities such as walking up steps and picking up heavy objects around the home. There is also strong evidence that physical activity lowers the risks of stroke, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancers of the colon and the breast. There is strong evidence that regular physical activity will prevent weight gain. It’s not physical activity alone, but the combination of exercise and good nutrition that helps in weight loss. Physical activity can aid in fall prevention, reduce depression, and provide

better mental function. Some studies show that exercise can lower the risk of hip fracture and increase bone density. The risk of osteoporosis is greater in women who are not physically active. Exercise and physical activity are even linked with better sleeping habits. A good night’s sleep is important to our well being. Children also benefit from physical activity. The recommended amount of physical activity for children, 6 to 17 years of age, is one hour or more each day. Exercise can help children develop stronger muscles, hearts and lungs. Children who exercise regularly also can have increased bone health, ease

worries that children sometimes feel, and reduce depression in teens. For all people, some activity is better than none. Finding an activity you enjoy is key to maintaining your activity program. Physical exercise is usually safe for all people. If you have questions or concerns or a chronic physical condition, a visit to your doctor is suggested. It is important to visit with your doctor before starting any new exercise program. Information cited from the Department of Health and Human Services. At A Glance: A Fact Sheet for Professionals.

Garrett Homemakers September meeting The Garrett Homemakers club held their first meeting of the 2010-2011 year on Thursday, Sept. 15, at the beautiful new home of Debbie Foushee. Debbie and Rose Whelan hosted a lovely pot luck lunch of baked ham with club members providing all the trimmings. There were 13 of our 16 members present and we welcomed two guests, Jennifer Bridge and Marla Wimpee, who is Rose Whelan’s daughter. After the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, Debbie Foushee read the inspirational reading “Be the Queen God Wants You to be” by Jane McFarland, a Russell County Homemaker. It is a writing that reflects on the life of Queen Esther and how we, as mothers,

grandmothers, and mentors, through our simple everyday influence, can affect lives and do God’s work. We then moved on to business. After discussing the River Heritage Festival coming up Sept. 25, and the Homemaker’s Holiday Bazaar, which will be held on Nov.13, we concentrated on the various projects for the following year. Those projects mostly concern grandparents who are raising grandchildren and supporting Military families. Artie Howell, who is serving as chairperson of the Meade County Homemakers Family and Individual Development Committee, asked that we donate gently used children and adult clothing for the Grandparents and Grandchildren

Together project. We are to bring the items to our next meeting on Oct. 1, but anyone can call her and she will even come and pick up the items. Jennifer also talked about the possible organization of two more Homemakers clubs in Meade County. There will be an informational meeting about that at the Extension office on Oct. 5, at 6:30 p.m., so anyone interested should be sure to attend that meeting. The meeting adjourned around 1:45 and we all visited for a little while before heading for home. As for me, I just wanted to sit on Debbie’s back porch and gaze at the beautiful panoramic view that she has of Stith Valley and beyond. Submitted by Mary Pike.

Bluegrass Homemakers September meeting The Bluegrass Homemakers met on Sept. 14, 2010, at 9:30 for an excursion to begin our year. We went to Elizabethtown to tour Spring Haven (a beautiful historic home). There were seven members present and our tour guide, Suzanne Walters. The tour was very informative. Our next stop was Mr. Gatti’s where we had a leisurely lunch and then our meeting. Margaret McCoy called the meeting to order. One member was absent and we all missed her. Margaret handed out packets for the officers so

we can begin our year on the right foot. Let’s hope the left foot doesn’t mess us up. As Homemakers, we can handle it. The club made a donation to the 4-H Safety Day Camp on Sept. 27 and 28. Also, we will now collect pennies for “Coins for Change.” The club remembered several people in the community with cards and well wishes. Under old business it was noted that Meade County had 100 percent for county reports turned in — the first time to ever happen. The summer tasting event turnout was very good as well as some tasty dishes.

Items for the MARC auction are to be given to Theresa. No date has been set for the auction. There are several upcoming events involving the Homemaker Clubs and the community. Watch for these in the local newspapers. The lesson for this month was on green cleaning. Shirley gave us all handouts with instructions on how to make our own cleaning solutions. The meeting adjourned and everyone was glad to see each other and look forward to a great year. Submitted by Secretary, Lois Fackler

Celebrating generations of the Powell’s during a recent family reunion In today’s time keeping a family together and continuing to have a Family Home Coming or Reunion is a very hard thing to do. However, it is not impossible, as the Powell family always try to do it in September. Their reunion was full of many wonderful surprises this year. Ronnie Powell and Moochie Powell had been doing research and tracking down information to try to make the family tree. Debbie Powell and Hilda Farris surprised the family with a video of past and present pictures starting out with the Powell Cemetery (a lot of people never knew about) to complete the family tree adventure. No one has ever made a video for them before, it was really good. The food, fellowship and entertainment were a huge success. In attendance was the five remaining siblings of Everett and Lena Powell; Elizabeth Miller, Helen Prather, Paul Powell, Sug and Ruth Powell and Johnny Powell. Also Brenda Hardesty, Hilda Farris, Jim and Sarah and Allie Russell, Fred and Terhia Russell,

Jena and Jeny and Jeniffer Hayes, Keith and Tina and Dustin and Brianna Powell, Pam Powell, Darlene and Doug York, T.J.

The News Standard - A11

Former Lady Wave athlete makes good use of injury experience By Brian Graves The News Standard A former Meade County High School Lady Wave ath;ete has taken her athletic injury experience and turned it into a useful chiropractic practice which she brings home to Meade County next week. Dr. Bridgette Brown Powers will open the Meade County Chiropractic and Sport Rehab at 124 Broadway in Brandenburg on Friday, Oct. 1 beginning with a special open house that day from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. She expects to see a lot of friends and acquaintances as she returns home to practice her craft. “I graduated here in 2002 and while at Meade County played basketball, volleyball, and tennis in high school. That’s why it’s a lot of fun to come back and a lot to do with why I wanted to get into sports rehab,” Powers said. While playing basketball, she noticed she was having a lot of pain in her knees. “Mom said, ‘You should go see the chiropractor’ because she went to one regularly. But, I was thinking it was my knees, not my back, but we’ll go on in,” she said. That chiropractor’s Xrays showed her pelvis was so out of balance it was making one leg shorter than the other, causing her to put more pressure on one knee than the other. “I started to get adjustments and it straightened me out,” Powers said. “So, I thought who knew chiropractic did more than just back pain. That’s when I started getting interested in it.” At the age of 16, she began working for a chiropractor as an office assis-

tant and that’s when she became aware of the many conditions chiropractors help to treat. Attending health occupation classes in high school, she realized drugs and surgeries were not the direction she wanted to pursue. She attended Western Kentucky University, premajoring in chiropractic then transferred to Logan Chiropractic College completing a nine-year study within 6 1/2 years. “While in school you had kids come in to you with tennis elbow or an adult come in with a bad knee he’s had for 20 years, and you can help both of those,” Powers said. After graduating in 2008, she moved with her husband, Ben, who was in the Air Force to Tucson, Ariz. where she worked until the couple moved home this year. Already, the home folks know she’s back. “I’ve already gotten phone calls. People walk up to me all the time asking when I was going to open,” Powers said. “We’re already schedul-

ing patients.” She also said she would be taking insurance, but she is still in the credentialing stage. However, she assures patients that is going to happen and will work to help in those situations. “Until that is complete, insurance companies look at me as an out-of-network carrier,” Powers explained. “It just depends, case-to-case, what your insurance says.” She noted that a basic chiropractic adjustment at her office is $35 — a fee that can be less than most insurance co-payments. “Everyone function of the entire body is controlled by the nervous system, which has to travel through the spine to do its job,” Powers said. “So, if your spine is out of alignment it may cause not only back pain, but also irritation to the nerves, and therefore the entire body. So to achieve the best you, the best health and full-body wellness, that’s an integral part to have a balanced and aligned spine.” The office is located at 124 Broadway and can be reached at (270) 422-5552.

Sales sites, signs available for Highway 60 yard sale Oct. 1-3 Submitted by Meade County Tourism People seeking sites to hold yard sales along the route of the fifth annual Highway 60 Yard Sale won’t have trouble finding them in Meade County. To date, five property owners have agreed to allow people to use their property for sales, said Russ Powell, director of Meade County Tourism. Meade is one of eight counties along the highway joining forces to present the sale, which will stretch 200 miles from Muldraugh in the east to Smithland in the west during the weekend of October 1-3. The other participating counties are Breckinridge, Hancock, Daviess, Henderson, Union, Crittenden, and Livingston, according to Powell. “We’re pleased people have been willing to step forward to allow their property to be used for sales by people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to participate in this event,” he said. “And again this year, we’ll be providing signs for all those who register to take part by either offering space to vendors or

holding yard sales themselves.” To register their participation and receive a sign, people should contact Jeannie Vowels, administrative assistant at Meade County Tourism, either at 270-422-3626 or jvowels@ meadekychamber.org. They also may stop at 79 Broadway in Brandenburg, the office shared by Meade County Tourism and the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce. And, according to Powell, information is online at www.highway60yardsale. com and at www.twitter. com/hwy60yardsale. Here’s a list of property owners who are providing space for yard sales: • 5222 Highway 60, site of C & C Portables — To make arrangements, call Cliff Wise at 270-8283496. • Corner of Highway 60 & KY 144, site of the former Marathon station — To make arrangements, call Jeannie Vowels at 270422-3626. • 10995 Highway 60 — To make arrangements, call Mona Hardesty at 270-547-2570. • 5875 Old 60 Lane — To make arrangements, call Edd Davis at 270-8283373.

• 118 North Dixie Avenue, Muldraugh, site of DQ Grill & Chill — To make arrangements, call the manager at 502-9426585. Powell said motorists, shoppers, and property owners should exercise caution on the weekend of the sale. “People should remain alert since Highway 60 is, in most locations, a twolane road with many sharp curves and reduced-speed zones along much of its course,” he said. “Motorists who stop at yard sale locations should pull a safe distance off the highway to park.”

AGRICULTURE This summer’s drought can negatively impact livestock Friday, September 24, 2010

A12- The News Standard

Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources Lately, as I have driven around the county, I have seen people trying to extend their feed supply for their livestock. Even though most weather map models I have seen do not have us in a severe drought, ask anyone around here — we are in a severe drought. Drought situations cause pastures to go dormant or die. Most horses and ruminant animals (cattle, sheep, and goats) that we typically have on our farms rely on pasture as a major part, if not all, of their feed needs from April through November. Livestock producers typically figure 120— 150 days of feeding hay through the winter.

This year ’s drought will have some beef producers feeding hay for 240 days. Most livestock owners over estimate their hay supply needs to be on the safe side, but, economically, no one figures on feeding hay eight months out of the year. Therefore, some producers are trying to make hay now. The most obvious crop for hay would be corn fodder. Corn fodder — stalks, leaves, shucks, and ears do have some nutrient value. However, livestock still need to be supplemented with energy and protein. Also, cattle will waste a lot of a bale due to the palatability of the stalks. The biggest concern when feeding corn fodder is the potential for nitrate poisoning. Most summer annual grass crops, like corn, when supplied with large amounts of nitrogen fertilizer, like corn, may accumulate nitrates.

If the plant’s growth is slowed or stopped by a drought before it fully matures, enough nitrates can accumulate and remain in the plant to be toxic and even kill livestock. My recommendation is to have all corn fodder, sudangrass, and any other summer annual grasses to be used for livestock feed tested for nitrate levels. This can be done through the Meade County Extension Office. Call 270-422-4958 for more information. If feeding these forages without testing, the animal should be fed only half of their daily intake with these feeds. Supplement the other half with some type of high energy commodity. Also, animals should be monitored daily for signs of toxicity: labored breathing, frothing at the mouth, diarrhea, or worse. For more information on feeding livestock call

State Ag Dept. receives grant Submitted by the Dept. of Agriculture FRANKFORT — Federal grant dollars will help Kentucky specialty crop producers market their products and will be used for research on alternative crops, Agriculture Commissioner Richie Farmer said. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture was awarded a specialty crop block grant of $273,262.60 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday. Specialty crops are deﬁned as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture and nursery crops, including ﬂoriculture. “Many Kentucky producers are raising specialty crops to make up for lost tobacco income,” Commissioner Farmer said. “This funding will help us continue to diversify our agriculture industry.” The department will use some grant funds to partner with the University of Kentucky to create and disseminate recipe cards featuring specialty crops, test the effectiveness of organic production techniques on post-harvest storage life of fruit, construct high tunnels to gather data on crop rotations, and investigate asparagus and persimmon production. Some funding will be used in partnership with the Kentucky Nursery and Landscape Association to enable Kentucky growers to market their products.

Lady Waves finish undefeated in district play By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

ON DECK

SPORTS

Despite wrapping up the 11th District No. 1 seed a few weeks ago, the Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team wanted to make sure they remained undefeated in district play and beat Hancock County, 2518, 28-26, on Tuesday. “It’s very important to go undefeated,” junior outside hitter Rachel Powers said. “It gives us conﬁdence going into the district tournament. The Lady Waves have been the No. 1 seed ever since joining the district in 2005. They also are on a seven-game winning

streak in the district dating back to last season. “It’s really important to keep that district dominance because we’re so young,” said Meade County head coach Jennifer Smith, who only had one senior on the roster. “I think that they slack off. We came in ready to play because they do want to go undefeated. Just having the ability to say we’re undefeated says a lot.” Meade County broke a 7-7 tie during the ﬁrst game and served four straight points to take the lead 12-7. Powers ended the game with a kill. See UNDEFEATED, page B4

“We got whipped,” Moﬁeld said. “They whipped us up front. We didn’t have a answer.” Ballard had two quarterbacks with two touchdown passes and tallied nearly 400 yards through the air. Meade County’s offense was stiﬂed, barely reaching over 100 total yards during the game.

I remember the day clearly… well as clearly as possible. It was a warm Michigan spring day and my high school team was intensely preparing for the playoffs. While fielding grounders, all of a sudden I feel something like a shotgun blast to my head…. Everything went black. The next thing I remember is sitting in the dugout dizzy and sick to my stomach. I can barely hold myself up and I wanted to vomit. My coach tells me I’d been hit in the temple by a rogue baseball. I rub my head, it’s tender to touch and sent lightning flashes of pain all the way to my toes. A few minutes later, I’m on my way home where I would spend the rest of my night in a dark room trying to stay awake. The next day, I was seen on the base paths sliding head first into second base and diving for ground balls from third base. I was a fierce competitor. I wanted to play no matter what, I said I was fine and could count whatever combination of fingers my coaches would hold up. I was fine … really, I was ready to help my team win a state championship. But in reality, was I? This was only eight years ago. My school wasn’t fortunate enough to have an athletic trainer and my coach just sent me home. Unaware of the possible catastrophe my brain had just endured, I thought I was fine. My parents were concerned, but we really didn’t know much about concussions. The fall before, I had partially tore my MCL during football and that hurt a lot more. That was an obvious injury — I couldn’t even walk. The injury cost me my football season. Certainly I could play through a little bump to the head. Eight years later and I’m fine… I think. Well, I took the Meade County ImPACT program (check Sept. 17’s issue of The News Standard for the full story) test and passed it. It says I’m fine. But I doubt I would have

The Lady Waves pose with their ﬁrst place trophy from the ﬁrst ever Lady Waves Classic soccer tournament.

Meade County wins ﬁrst ever Lady Waves Classic in shutout fashion By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard The Meade County Lady Waves soccer team won the ﬁrst ever Lady Wave Classic this past weekend without succumbing a goal.

“We were excited,” said Meade County head coach Dan Shook. “This is the ﬁrst one here and to win it in three shutouts was nice. The girls were very excited.” The tournament consisted of Pleasure Ridge Park, Shelby County, Louisville Southern and host team Meade County. “This was the ﬁrst year we did it,” Shook said. “I sent out an e-mail asking who would want to do it and

those three teams responded. Maybe next year, we’ll ask particular teams.” Meade County took on PRP on Friday night and won 4-0. Senior forward Kristen Benton had two goals. Seniors Shelby Miller and Lindsey Burchett each had a goal and an assist. The teams came back on Saturday and Meade County beat Shelby County 5-0. See CLASSIC, page B3

No. 3 Ballard charges past injured Greenwave MC Greenwave can’t handle future Louisville player By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard The Meade County Greenwave football team could not contain another future University of Louisville Cardinal in Devante Parker, who helped the home team No. 3 Ballard Bruins trounce the Greenwave 45-10, last Friday. “He’s kind of like a Michael Jordan-type of player,” Meade County head coach Larry Moﬁeld said of Parker. “He’s going to get his points. He’s going to get his catches. What you have to do to counteract that and maintain possession of the ball and keep the game close.” Parker scored Ballard’s ﬁrst two touchdowns begining with a 9-yard catch during the opening drive, which took only a minute and 39 seconds. He scored a 19-yard touchdown pass 6 minutes later to make the score 15-0.

THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI

A Ballard runner breaks past several Greenwave tacklers during last Friday’s game. His ﬁrst touchdown was a leaping catch in the end zone as he out-jumped two Meade County defenders and the other, he outran the entire Greenwave defensive backﬁeld on a 19yard crossing pattern. “He was tall,” said junior 5-foot-5 defensive back Garrett Kenealy, who had to defend the 6-foot2 Parker. “He’s one of the best athletes we’ve seen.” Parker ended the night

with nine catches for 221 yards and three touchdowns. On Sept. 10, Meade County gave up 231 rushing yards to UofL committed Jerrell Moore. Ballard scored 30 points in the second quarter. Two of the touchdowns were passes, one touchdown came from a 25-yard run up the middle of the ﬁeld and the special teams also converted a safety after a bad long snap during a punt.

From page B1 The Greenwave appeared to make it a game early when they drove 64 yards to score on a 10-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Jake Wilson to senior tight end Ryan Hogan. The score was then 15-7 with 28 seconds left in the first quarter. “Other than the one drive,” Mofield said. “We came back after that and went three and out. We knew we weren’t going to shut them out. You’re going to have to match some scores and our inability to move the ball spelled our doom tonight.” The Greenwave punted the ball five times. “When the punter is a star player you know you’re in trouble,” Mofield said. “If there’s a bright spot tonight, I think (sophomore punter) Zach Bogard did a heck of a job. He hung in there and did about as good of a job as you can do.” Bogard had a kick over 50 yards and pinned Ballard back inside the 20-yard line twice. The Greenwave have been bitten by the injury bug the past three games. They lost junior quarterback Thomas Wilson to an ankle injury after the John Hardin game. During the Fern Creek game, junior tailback Max Cundiff suffered a severe cut to his index finger. The bug bite went deeper into Meade County’s flesh when Bo Wilson injured his arm midway through the contest. “Bo has a potential broken forearm,” Mofield said. “We’ll see how that spells out. He’s a big player for us.” As of this week, what was thought to be a broken arm turned out to be a bruised forearm and Bo Wilson should return this week. Because of all the injuries, backup quarterback sophomore Jake Wilson had to fill Thomas Wilson’s spot, while senior Rex Liverman carried the brunt of the ground game. “They hit really hard,” Liverman said who had 16 carries and 70 yards “That kind of shocked me. But I just lowered my head and tried to get as many yards as I could. They weren’t as fast as I was expecting, but what they do well is hit hard.” Jake Wilson went 6-14 for 34 yards, while Bo Wilson caught two of those passes for 11 yards. Meade County tacked on a late field goal with 49 seconds left in the third quarter when senior place kicker Michael Clinkscales booted a 26-yard field goal making the score 45-10. “The good thing is this is only the fourth game of the year,” Mofield said. “They may win the state championship. They’re good enough to win the state championship. They got all the pieces of the puzzle. “Right now is going to be a gut-check and a heart-check to put this one behind us,” he added. “We’ll see if we can rise above it. As bad as the Fern Creek (loss) was, this one is probably as worse.” The Greenwave has now dropped their third game in a row. The past two games were losses of 25 points or more.

Impact From page B1 passed it the day after I was hit with a baseball much less given the green light to dive head first into second base. In the end, I was lucky, foolish and I regret putting myself in danger. Meade County is cutting edge with the ImPACT program and it’s something I wish I had available to me when I played high school sports. Though just eight years have gone by and I’m amazed at the technology. Back then I had a brick-like first generation Ipod with buttons, YouTube didn’t exist so we had to watch America’s Funniest Videos, Under Armour was an upstart company and a computer

Greenwood has won the past two district championships and is 4-1 this season after losing to 19-7 to Allen County-Scottsville last Friday. Meade County hasn’t beaten Greenwood during their last three meetings. “It doesn’t get any better,” Mofield said. “They’re a good football team.

program to test head injuries was never in the foreground at my high school. The thing about the ImPACT program is it takes out the emotion of a competitor or a irrational coach who needs the star player. Sometimes a third party needs to be there to bring sensibility to the situations. Athletic trainers and doctors, along with this computerized program, can help give a concrete idea of the brain injury rather than basing it off of a kid who says whatever will get him or her back on the playing field. This is an injury to the brain — the center to everything in our body. While players can have surgery to replace a MCL or even have a good quality of life with superficial injuries such as broken fingers, one can’t do the same with a broken brain.

In the past, getting your bell rung was a badge of honor, or a comical anecdote of a game. But with the progress of science, everything but funny has been reveled about concussion injuries. There are NFL gladiators of the past, bronzed in hall of fames, who can’t breathe on their own, eat or even talk. Alzheimer’s has run rampant on a generation of athletes who have aged through unknown injuries. The ImPACT is a step to preventing the problems many of our parents’ and grandparents’ heroes have endured or are enduring. It’s a step to preserve future generations growth well into their old age, happily and coherently. Thankfully, Meade County is leading the steps forward, which is one more reason to be a proud Greenwave.

Meade County slips past Fort Knox Meade County recorded its fifth straight shutout this season when they faced the winless Fort

Knox Eagles and won 4-0. “I think we just played to our level of competition again,” Meade County head coach Dan Shook said after the frustrating win. “I’m getting tired of it and I think they are too.” The Lady Wave broke the scoreless game 9 minutes into the match when senior midfielder Lindsey Burchett’s direct kick defected off of freshman Micaela Ray. Meade County scored three times during the second half. Freshman striker Katelyn Cucino scored off a rebound to make the score 2-0, while freshman Breanna Bretches added a goal 5 minutes later on a header. Senior Shelby Miller assisted the goal. Burchett scored the final goal of the game with 14 minutes left. The Lady Waves were without several players including leading scorer senior striker Kristin Benton, who injured her ankle against Southern last Saturday. The team was also without junior Kristie Ingram, who received a red card against Southern. “That doesn’t matter,”

Shook said about missing several players. “The team that’s on the field has to do what they have to do to win. It doesn’t matter who’s not on the field.” The Lady Waves summed up the district’s third seed when they played Elizabethtown on Wednesday.

Stewart’s win could spark more By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week HAMPTON, Ga. — Is Tony Stewart making the kind of late emergence that could win him a third Sprint Cup championship? Stewart, 39, won the Emory Healthcare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. His average finish in the past 11 races is 9.18. He finally broke into the winner’s column. After winning for the first time this year, Stewart actually said he felt better about this season — fourth in points, one win, two poles than last season, where at this point he had 3,694 points (109 more than Kevin Harvick’s total now) and three wins. Stewart led the points by 237 then. He trails Harvick by 283 now. Yet Stewart said after winning the Emory Healthcare 500 that a year ago, he was leading the points and headed downhill, while, this year, he’s trailing but reeling in other contenders by leaps and bounds. “I don’t know if we have peaked,” Stewart said. “How do you know when you’ve peaked? I guess if you’re winning every week, you feel like you’re peaking to a

It’s been a lot of little steps in the last 10 to 12 races. “At this stage (in 2009), we were pointing downhill, and this year, I feel like we are pointing uphill.” Statistics do show that the first two finishers in Atlanta’s race are the most consistent in the Sprint Cup Series ... recently. Carl Edwards’ average finish over the past eight races is 5.0, but Edwards hasn’t yet won. Now Stewart has won. And he is hot.

“Nobody’s really noticed it, but we have noticed it internally,” he said. “It’s a much better feeling right now this time of year than it was a year ago.” Really? “We were on such a high, leading the points, and had won races already,” Stewart insisted. Both Stewart and his team are flushed with success at the moment, and with the Chase for the Sprint Cup about to commence, it’s not a bad place to be.

Sports Soccer team remains winless this month, drops district game Friday, September 24, 2010

B4 - The News Standard

By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

September has not been a friendly month for the Meade County Greenwave soccer team. After tying Fort Knox on Sept. 14, 1-1, Meade County faced the Central Hardin Bruins and gave up five second half goals to lose 5-1. Meade County is now 0-4-1 during September. Meade County was on track during the first half of the game after coming away with a 1-0 lead when senior midfielder Kurtis Clark scored a goal midway through the first. “I couldn’t ask for much better play than the first half,” said Meade County head coach Matt Pollock. “They were doing things that we’ve been wanting to do all season. They put it together in the first half.” But the second half was a different story as the Greenwave defense let in five goals. “We need a win pretty badly,” said sophomore defender Dylan Andrews. “The first half we all came

up smiles when we scored that goal. But, we got our head down.” Central Hardin’s scoring started 9 minutes into the second half when they were awarded a penalty kick to knot the score at one. Three minutes later, the Bruins scored the go-ahead goal on a corner kick taking the lead 2-1. Central Hardin scored a third 2 minutes later on a break away. “The penalty kick really loosened them up,” Pollock said of the Bruins’ second half offensive burst. “Then the corner goal came. The wheels started falling off.” Meade County was outshot 20-7 during the game and Central Hardin added two goals during the final 10 minutes of play. “We just lost our composure all around,” Andrews said. “Defensively, we just lost the ball. That really broke our confidence.” Meade County was without the team’s leading scorer, senior forward Todd Johnson, due to disciplinary reasons. The team is still without senior stopper Ethan Madison who is

nursing a knee injury. One of the team’s alternates, sophomore midfielder Austin Lancaster, is also out with an injury. “It’s making us really thin,” Pollock said. “We are playing a lot of guys that haven’t had that many minutes at the varsity level.” This Central Hardin game was a microcosm of Meade County’s season — the Greenwave started with four straight wins, but hasn’t won a game since. “The nature of this team this year is we lose focus,” Pollock said. “Then it starts to get bad. This is something the kids will have to learn to overcome to be successful.” Meade is shut out During the opening game of the Male Bulldog Cup, Covington Scott shut out Meade County, 2-0. Sophomore goalkeeper Alex Fackler made four saves. Meade County also lost to Floyd Central (Ind.), 3-0 on Monday. Fackler made eight saves, while Meade County was outshot 14-4.

For Powers, it was a redemption game. During the previous game last week against Daviess County the Lady Waves lost in three sets, giving 58 of Daviess County’s 75 points on errors. “It’s a step up from the last game, that’s for sure,” Powers said who had eight kills, seven digs and three aces against Hancock County. “I tried to redeem myself from the last game. I didn’t mess up too bad, so that’s good.” Powers alone had 12 errors during the Daviess County game. “She probably had the worst game in her life — hopefully the worst game she’ll ever have,” Smith said. “I think she had 12 errors. She couldn’t get the ball over the net. “Tonight, she totally redeemed herself. She did really well. I think part of her problem is focus. She needs to stay focused and be serious.” During the second game, Powers broke a 7-7 tie with a kill and then the Lady Waves took a commanding 14-10 lead. Hancock County fought back to

tie the game at 25 and send the game into a win-by-two overtime. “They are scrappy,” Smith said of Hancock County. “I think our girls were scrappy tonight, too. They had to fight back and get the win, too. I wish we played like that all the time.” Senior Tiffany Filburn had a kill and served the last point of the match during the final two points. She led the team with 12 kills four digs and two blocks. Junior middle hitter Leanna Luney had four kills, three blocks, one assist and one dig, while junior setter Becca Clark added 20 assists and 12 digs. Inconsistencies have been a plague for the Lady Waves, who are now 157. The past few weeks there have been improvements. “We keep getting better and better,” Powers said. “We’re more consistent now then at the beginning of the season. We just have to keep getting more consistent and hopefully by playoffs we’ll always be playing the same way.” The Lady Waves have five games and a tournament remaining on their schedule.

Paws Corner By Sam Mazzotta Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

As we swing into fall, you may be looking for more dog-training information or a bit of canine-related entertainment to go along with the change of seasons. Here are a few books that might catch your interest. “51 Puppy Tricks” (Quarry Books, $18.99) was published late last year, but just recently crossed my desk. It’s a fun book that teaches both basic behavioral-training techniques and tricks that most puppy training manuals don’t dare to tackle. Written by Kyra Sundance, who trains acrobatic stunt dogs and has a couple of other dog-training manuals under her belt, this is a colorful, informative book loaded with photographs and detailed breakdowns of tricks for puppies up to 2 years of age. “Oh My Dog” by Beth Ostrosky Stern, with Kristina Grish (Simon & Schuster, $25.99) is for owners or potential dog owners looking for a general care and training manual. The 512-page book covers pet selection and potential costs, helping a new puppy settle in, and training, diet and health tips. Stern is perhaps better known as a television personality and as Howard Stern’s wife, but she’s also a spokeswoman for North Shore Animal League America (a no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization) and is involved with other rescue organizations. “Small Dog, Big Dog” by Barbara Karant (Gallery Books, $25) is a beautifully photographed collection of dogs of all sizes. More than 180 dogs representing 60 different breeds and ages from 6 to 14 years old grace the full-color pages. This one will hold a place on your coffee table and keep charming you.

Celebrity Extra By Cindy Elavsky

Q: I watched the MTV Video Music Awards, and it was the fun spectacle it always is. However, I have to say that Lady Gaga took the cake (or maybe meatpie?) when she wore that meat dress. What on Earth compelled her to wear that? — Kelli J., via email A: One of my favorite parts of the awards was seeing Cher still rocking that very revealing outfit she wore in her “If I Could Turn Back Time” video in 1989. Let’s see if Lady Gaga (real name Lady Gaga Stefani Germanotta) can do that in 40 years! But to answer your question, Gaga, 24, explained to Ellen DeGeneres (who is a vegan) why she wore the now infamous meat dress: “It is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. It has many interpretations: If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. I am not a piece of meat.” Q: I was so happy that Jane Lynch won an Emmy Award for her role as Sue Sylvestro on “Glee.” I know she is busy with that show, but does she have any other projects coming up? — Julian F., via e-mail A: The in-demand actress — who previous to “Glee” was best known for her roles in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Best in Show” — just wrapped production on the film “Paul.” The movie is a comedy/sci-fi film that also stars Jason Bateman, Seth Rogen, Sigourney Weaver, Kristin Wiig and a ton of other megastars. Look for “Paul” in March 2011. Q: I was flipping through channels the other afternoon, and I could have sworn I saw movie actress Sean Young on “The Young and The Restless.” Was that really her, and if so, why did she decide to do it? — Jill G., Albuquerque, N.M. A: That was indeed the accomplished 50-year-old movie star. Sean played a featured role as Meggie McClain on the long-running hit soap opera opposite good friend Eric Braeden. She co-starred with him in the 2008 movie “The Man Who Came Back,” which also co-starred Eric’s “Titanic” co-star Billy Zane, along with Carol Alt, George Kennedy and Armand Assante. Of taking on the role of Meggie, Sean said: “Getting the chance to work with my dear friend Eric Braeden — one of the true gentlemen in entertainment — was certainly a deciding factor for me, as well as wanting to get back to work after taking a few years off to raise my kids.” Q: I love the HBO drama “In Treatment.” Please tell me it is coming back for a third season! — Peggy H., Columbus, Ohio A: I’m happy to report that “In Treatment,” starring Gabriel Byrne and Dianne Wiest, will be back beginning Oct. 25. The third season also brings guest stars Debra Winger and Amy Ryan. Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475; or e-mail her at letters@cindyelavsky.com.

• Gravity makes you shorter. It’s true; gravity compresses your spine -- in a weightless environment, you would be 2 to 3 inches taller than you are here on Earth. • You might be surprised to learn that the first ceiling fan was introduced way back in the 1860s. The lack of electricity was no deterrent; the device was powered by a stream of running water. • When the bubonic plague, more commonly known as the Black Death, was at its peak in Europe in the 14th century, a wide variety of remedies was prescribed, including smoking tobacco, bringing spiders into the household, inhaling the stench from a latrine, sitting between two large fires, drinking red wine in which new steel had been cooled, and bathing in goat urine. • Those who study such things say that women are better at identifying smells than men are. • Over the past year, in the United States lottery sales have increased by a whopping $1 billion. • Human skin is about 70 percent water, and the human brain is 80 percent water. • Thought for the Day: “All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible.” -- George Santayan (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A workplace change doesn’t seem to have turned out quite as you’d hoped. Never mind: Just treat yourself to a healthy dollop of that Aries self-confidence, and you’ll soon view things differently. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some of the support you might have hoped for in a difficult situation might not be there. But you have the strength to rely on your own capabilities if you must. Good luck. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A disagreement with a longtime friend can be painful, but it also can be a learning lesson. Insist on a full and complete airing of views. You’ll both come away the better for it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A stalled relationship can be restarted with some give and take on both sides. And while it could take more time than you expect, don’t rush it. Be patient, and let it happen naturally. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity to move a long-stalled project from concept to construction might be opening up for the Big Cat. Meanwhile, be prepared to spend more time dealing with family matters. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Use your Virgo organizational skills to line up support to help you deal with a sticky workplace problem. A personal matter also might be helped with friendly intervention. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to resolve a workplace problem with a longtime associate can be difficult. Consider bringing in an impartial third party to help you both reach a mutually acceptable solution. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to assess your current career situation. Consider whether you have a chance to move up where you are now, or if you should look elsewhere. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With education being a dominant part of this week’s aspect, one of the things you might want to think about is taking courses to enhance your career opportunities. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might have a problem trying to stay focused on a matter you’d rather not deal with. But the sooner you do, the sooner it will be resolved and out of the way. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unforeseen complication creates a difficult problem. But things get resolved once you use your ability to turn negative situations into positive experiences. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The Pisces penchant for doing the right thing at the right time helps you deal with a particularly troublesome situation. Consider your best option, and act accordingly. BORN THIS WEEK: Although you might sometimes seem rigid in your views, your love of justice makes you a trusted friend everyone can rely on.

Woodcock hunting season based on twice a year migration Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — The courtship flight of the American woodcock is a harbinger of spring, but when the weather warms up and their young are fledged, the squatty little birds with long, flexible bills fly off to the Great Lakes states for the summer.   Back here, upland bird hunters are working their dogs and shooting clay targets with their shotguns in anticipation of the return of the woodcock. Kentucky’s 45-day fall season opens Oct. 16 and closes Nov. 29.   “Woodcock are absent from Kentucky during the hot and dry summer months,” said Rocky Pritchert, migratory bird program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “They return for the fall, but when the ground begins to freeze up, they migrate southward to Louisiana and other Gulf Coast states for the winter.”   Kentucky’s statewide woodcock season is sandwiched between these seasonal migrations. The daily bag limit is three birds.   And what’s the reason for all those flights, back and forth, north and south, with twice-a-year stopovers in Kentucky? It’s the pursuit of their preferred food and nesting cover.

“Woodcock have very specific habitat requirements,” said Pritchert. “They need moist ground to probe for earthworms, and thick overhead cover for protection, because they’re a ground nesting bird.”   The American Woodcock (Scolopax minor) spends most of its time on the ground. Woodcock prefer brushy cover and secondgrowth forests, where the bird’s brown, black and gray plumage provides excellent camouflage.   Forest maturation is one of the reasons woodcock populations in the central U.S. have been declining in the past 20 years. “There’s no indication that hunting and harvest is a contributing factor,” said Pritchert.   There’s so much to like about these incredible little birds. The woodcock has a funky gait that’s so endearing. You’ll be hooked the first time you see one rock its body back and forth without moving its head as it slowly walks. Biologists say it has something to do with detecting earthworms. It could be that the woodcock’s just a born performer.   In the spring, males put on an elaborate display at so-called “singing grounds” to attract females.   After they arrive back in Kentucky, as winter begins to lose its grip, the urge to procreate is so strong

The American woodcock hunting season opens Oct. 16 for a 45-day fall season. the males put on a show late each afternoon. First they give the “peent” call repeatedly, then literally blast off, flying upward in a wide spiral. As the male gets higher, his wings start to twitter. At about 250 feet off the ground, the male woodcock starts chirping, then descends rapidly in a dramatic zig-zag dive, pulling up for a graceful, quiet landing, sure to impress

Crow season is an overlooked opportunity for wing shooters Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department

FRANKFORT — They are just as likely to be eating scraps of fast food on a mall parking lot as winter wheat seeds sown for a cover crop in a recently harvested tobacco field. Crows seem to be everywhere in Kentucky, at home in both town and country.   The species most often seen in our state is the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), a 16 -to 21inch tall, all-black bird with a raucous, annoying call: “Caw, Caw, Caw.”   They rarely travel alone and usually feed on the ground, eating earthworms and grubs in freshly plowed fields as well as insects, seeds and fruit. Crows will also eat garbage, carrion and chicks they rob from nests. They are best described as omnivorous foragers.  “Crow populations (in Kentucky) are stable with no indications of declines,” said Rocky Pritchert, migratory bird program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.   In the past few decades, crow populations have been on the rise across North America. Their susceptibility to the West Nile virus, however, could cause population declines in some regions of the country.   In Kentucky, local crow populations usually begin to swell in the fall as migrants arrive and family groups intermingle, forming large communal roosts. Conflicts arise from the noise and mess when these crow roosts

are close to cities.    “We get an influx of birds from up north during the winter months,” said Pritchert. “There are some tremendous roosts here.”   Kentucky’s other species of crow is far less visible. The fish crow (Corvus ossifragus) makes its home in far western Kentucky and is associated with sloughs and major rivers. “Kentucky is on the edge of its range,” said Pritchert.   At one time crows were considered pests and there were no closed seasons or bag limits. But as a member of the jay family (Corvidae), crows are covered under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.   “The season can’t be more than 124 days long and must be scheduled outside the primary nesting period (mid-March to the end of May),” said Pritchert.  Kentucky’s 2010-11 crow hunting season dates are Sept. 1 through Nov. 7 and Jan. 4 through Feb. 28, 2011. There is no daily bag limit.   Driving country roads is a good way to find concentrations of crows. Look for flight paths, roosts and feeding areas. It’s usually easy to get permission from landowners to hunt crows.   Flyways are the routes crows fly between roosts and feeding areas. In the afternoons, crows often congregate in staging areas before flying en masse back to their roost.   A 12-gauge shotgun, with a modified or improved cylinder choke, is ideal for crow hunting. For shooting over decoys, No. 7 1/2 shot is the

preferred shot size. Try shotshells loaded with No. 6 shot for pass shooting.   Both mouth calls and electronic calls are legal. Listening to audio tapes or watching DVDs is the best way to learn the hunting strategies as well as the array of calls used in crow hunting. Calls such as the fight, rally, distress, danger and look here are important for drawing crows into shooting range.  Blinds should be natural, well camouflaged and situated where there’s a good field of fire. Hunters must wear camouflaged clothing head to toe, including face masks and gloves, to prevent being spotted by the crow’s sharp eyesight. The ideal setup is to have the sun at the hunter’s back.   Full-body plastic decoys are the most realistic. A dozen decoys will work fine for most crow hunting situations.   There are two classic decoy setups for crows. The first is a feeding scenario, where a small group of crow decoys are on the ground with a sentry crow decoy placed on a tree limb above them. The second is a fight setup, with a Great Horned Owl decoy on a pole or fence post with crow decoys surrounding the owl decoy on nearby tree limbs. Crows hate raptors, especially owls, and will harass these birds wherever they find them.   To hunt crows, residents and non-residents are required to have a valid Kentucky hunting license plus a Kentucky migratory bird permit or a Kentucky waterfowl permit.

any female.   This “peent” call and display “twitter” can be heard statewide on almost any warm evening from mid-February to early April.    This past spring was the final year of a cooperative research project, studying the stopover and nesting ecology of this popular game bird.   Kentucky Fish and Wildlife biologists and students from Eastern Kentucky

University spent evenings locating, capturing and banding woodcock. They attached tiny radio transmitters to females that allowed them to be tracked to nesting sites. The final report is currently being written.   For years, woodcock trends have been monitored by spring call counts, which Pritchert said provide the most reliable information on population

size.   “We don’t have an active banding program,” he said. “But we have been trying to band at least 100 woodcock each spring.”   Banding will enable biologists to learn more about the annual migrations of the woodcock. They nest in Kentucky in the spring, return each fall between trips to the Great Lakes in the summer and Gulf Coast in the winter.

YOUTH MCHS senior attends the trip of a lifetime in Washington, D.C.

The News Standard - B11

Friday, September 24, 2010

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Michael Caporale had quite an interesting summer. He got to spend time learning some history of our nation’s capitol while mingling with some important people. Caporale was chosen to attend the 31st Annual Kentucky’s Rural Electric Washington Youth Tour in June after he was nominated by his social studies teacher Jason Scott. Caporale represented both Meade County High School and Meade County RECC and also landed the cover of Kentucky Living Magazine. During the week long trip, Caporale took part in discussions with government leaders, visited local attractions and met some new friends along the way. Some of the items on the agenda included touring Monticello (Thomas Jefferson’s home), the Holocaust Museum, war memorials, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution and the Jefferson Memorial. Other events included a boat cruise and dance on the Potomac River, attending

a concert by the U.S. Navy Band’s “Commodores,” and a picnic at the U.S. Marine Memorial. According to its Web site, the youth tour rewards students for academic achievement and community leadership, educates students about the role of electric coops in the national economy, fosters students’ appreciation for the democratic government, exposes students to the sights and sounds of our nation’s heritage and builds students’ leadership skills. This is the second time a student from MCHS has attended the conference said David Dailey, assistant principal at Meade County High School. He noted that Caporale stood out as a possible candidate because of his “enthusiasm for education.” That passion was most apparent after hearing Caporale speak and listening to his love of the world around him. As a senior at MCHS, Caporale keeps a busy daily schedule. He is a member of chorus, band, piano lab and the president of the Leo Club, on top of his homework assignments. But, to Caporale staying busy is the name of the

game. “If you don’t stay busy, you get in trouble,” Caporale said jokingly. During the Kentucky Touchstone Energy Co-op, Caporale got to meet over 80 students from around the state to discuss different electric issues in their community. He got to get his feet wet in the governmental workings by meeting with Rep. Brett Guthrie and U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning. Caporale added that in one instance, McConnell was set to speak at the convention, but his buzzer went off and he was called away to help assist with the BP oil spill. One of his biggest surprises after attending the convention was seeing a different side of the senators and congress members. “I often forget that they’re people just like us,” he said. Caporale’s love of history increased after he visited different monuments and museums in Washington D.C. He also got to visit Arlington National Cemetery and witness the changing of the guards ceremony for the tomb of the unknown soldier. One of the main things Caporale said he learned

Achievement

Aurora Laslie Aurora Laslie of Ekron, Ky., was chosen to participate in Murray State College’s Commonwealth Honors Academy from June 5 to June 26. While she stayed on campus she had the opportunity to take two college courses with the

option to take two more during her senior year. These courses will go on her college transcript and have already set her college GPA. She was also awarded a housing scholarship which goes towards paying her room and meal plan for four years. The group of 80 was chosen out of five states for their academic excellence, and extra curricular activities along with community involvement. They were given the academic half of the college experience. While there, she received notice that she had also been accepted into the Governors Scholar Program which meant she would be staying at the Murray Campus until July 30. The Governors Scholarship Program is similar to the Commonwealth Honors Academy except no credit is given for classes taken. Aurora is the daughter of James and Carla Laslie of Ekron, Ky. Her grandparents are Virginia and Bill Hardin of Brandenburg, Ky., the late Andrew Laslie and Bertie Allen of Ekron, Ky., and the Late Carl “Eddie” Allen. She is also the great grand daughter of the late Roy and Reba Laslie of Hardinsburg, Ky.
