CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

The Brandenburg Police Department has received a $6,000 Homeland Security grant. Police Chief Jeffrey Cox reported to Brandenburg City Council Monday night the funds would pay for in-car repeaters. The devices will improve communications between ofﬁcers and their vehicles and the grant will pay in full the purchase and installation costs. “There are a lot of areas those signals just won’t work,” said Mayor David Pace. Concerning the Citezens On Patrol program, Cox said the department will host a silent auction beneﬁting the program during the opening festivities of this year’s Christmas by the River. Businesses or individuals who would like to make donation in support of the event can contact City Hall for more information. Cox also said the force, along with the C.O.P., would be out in force for Halloween night festivities. “We will be out in full force this year the same as we’ve done for several years,” Cox said. “When you see the blue lights in the neighborhoods, See GRANT, Page A7

The former pastor of Glad Tidings Christian Center also requested motions be granted to ensure that proper legal discovery methods are followed allowing the defense to have adequate access to all evidence in the case. Barnes was arrested Feb. 15 and indicted by the Grand Jury in March with seven counts of sexual abuse in the ﬁrst degree and four counts of indecent exposure in the third degree. Meade County Circuit Judge Bruce Butler is scheduled to hear the motions Nov. 8.

Staff Report The News Standard

A former local pastor charged with multiple counts of sex abuse is asking his trial be held elsewhere. The legal counsel for Marion C. Barnes, Alec Stone, has ﬁled motions in the Meade County Circuit Court asking for a change of venue. The motion expresses concern that the local coverage of the case could have impacted any potential local jury pool and make the seating of a neutral jury difﬁcult.

“FACTS OR FICTION” The art of “SMOKE AND MIRRORS” IN “POLITICS”

WILLIAM “BUTCH” KERRICK SHERIFF

The News Standard/Casey Tolliver

ABOVE: Hundreds of Cross Roads School alumni gather at the Meade Breck Center, adjacent to the school to share memories of the closed school located in Rhodelia, Ky. BELOW: Becky Hardesty Durbin, left, and her mother, Jenny Hardesty reminisce through photos and clippings of Cross Roads School. By Casey Tolliver The News Standard When Cross Roads School closed in 1993, a blank spot was left on the canvas of the hearts of many students such as Rosie Nevitt Stivers. Stivers, who held a soft spot for the school in her heart, knew she had to do something about it. Her fondness for the school culminated with a reunion for former Cross Roads students of all ages at the Meade Breck Center in Rhodelia on Saturday. “When the Cross Roads School closed in 1993, I was kind of upset and I thought we really needed a reunion,” Stivers said. “But, I didn’t because of other things going on. So, I started thinking I wasn’t getting any younger, so in March I started working on all this.” So Stivers and a few other Cross Roads alumni networked the reunion into existence, despite having very limited funding for the project. “We had to contact as many people as we could and we didn’t have a budget,” Stivers said. The volunteers used legwork and word of mouth to organize the reunion. They posted flyers in churches, got airtime on a local radio station and even used the online networking site Facebook to get the word out. Meade County resident Becky Hardesty Durbin was one of more than 325 Cross Road alumni that met over the weekend to reminisce about lessons learned and memories created at Cross Roads School. Durbin spent her grade school years at Cross Roads, before graduating

to go on to attend public high school. But when she made the transition from the intimate confines of Cross Roads School to the sprawling public school campus, Durbin found a noticeable difference in her educational experience. “It was crowded compared to here,” Durbin said, who grew up nearly two miles down the road from Cross Roads. “I didn’t hardly know anybody. It was harder because there was only like five or six of us that graduated from here. This was more like family, more family oriented. With public school, you just didn’t know everyone like you did here.” The public school lacked the personal touch of the smaller school, which for Durbin not only included learning, but trouble that accompanied mischievousness of childhood pranks and shenanigans. “I learned my times tables real good,” she said with a laugh. “We had to write them over and over when we got in trouble.” The roots of the school can be traced to a parochial school built for St. Teresa’s Catholic Church in 1866. In 1950, the school known as Cross Roads was built.

Nestled in the rural Rhodelia confines, Cross Roads drew from its settings to provide a close knit, family feel for the students educated at the school. This tight bond is what made the Cross Roads bond so special, according to Stivers, who attended Cross Roads from 19521960. “The people of that community is what made the reunion what it came to be, because of the people working together,” Stivers said. “They were tremendous in helping to get everything that we needed and asked them for. If you needed something done, all you had to do was ask and they would get it done. That’s just how those people are down there.” Not only did Rhodelia influence the school, but Cross Roads helped define the Meade County community, helping the area’s pulse be heard. It remains a continued influence despite the school having closed it’s doors nearly 17 years ago. “The church and school are the heart and soul of the community,” Stivers said. “They’ve brought a renewed interest in young people, which is marvelous. It’s a testament to their faith.”

My opponent for the office of Sheriff of Meade County placed an ad in the local media that stated the following: (As Sheriff, Cliff was tough on felony drug crimes. “IT IS A PROVEN FACT,” Records of the “COMMONwEALTh ATTORNEyS OFFICE” of the 46th Judicial District “PROVIDE” the following “FACTS;” FELONy “DRUG ChARGES” brought before the grand jury during the respective terms... Cliff wise Term 2003 110 2004 143 2005 100 2006 183 Total 536

Butch Kerrick Term 2007 96 2008 100 2009 114 2010 25 (through September) Total 335

yOU, the voter, can decide who is tough on drug crimes. Based on “TRUE FACTS,” there were 200 more “FELONy DRUG ChARGES” brought before the grand jury during the Cliff wise term of office.) we contacted the “Commonwealth Attorney’s Office of the 46th Judicial District” to verify the validity of the “FACTS,” as stated by my opponent in his ad. we contacted this office because the ad stated that the “Records” from this office, provide the “FACTS” for the ad. we were told that we would be contacted by phone, or, we could also get the records from the Circuit Court of Meade County, as they were court records, and open upon written request to the public. we were contacted by phone and advised by the Commonwealth Attorney’s office to provide a written request for open records and they would provide us with the same raw data. The Commonwealth Attorney’s Office stated that they did not compile the total numbers, just the raw data on indictments for the time frame requested. They were very cooperative, and stated that upon receiving a written request they would provide us with the data, but it would take several days and they would mail them to us. The Meade County Sheriff’s Office also receives copies of all indictments from the court system. we reviewed all indictments of the Meade County Sheriff’s office during the full-term as Sheriff of my opponent, and also my term as Sheriff through September of this year. The court record indictments we reviewed, indicated a whole different set of “FACTS.” we can only assume, that my opponent, in his ad, claimed all “Grand Jury” indictments during his term as Sheriff as “FELONy DRUG ChARGES.” when in “FACT,” the indictments were for several different “Crimes.” My opponent misstated them as being all “FELONy DRUG ChARGES,” and even took credit for what indictments other law enforcement departments such as the Kentucky State Police, Brandenburg City Police, and Muldraugh Police department, achieved during his term. My opponent state in his ad, that he had 536 “FELONy DRUG ChARGES” during his term in office. If you multiply 4 years x 365 days = 1,460 total days in his term as Sheriff, divided by his stated “FELONy DRUG ChARGES” of 536, gives him a “FELONy DRUG ChARGE” ever 2 3/4 days of his term in office. This is not a “TRUE FACT.” I do not believe that even the large Metropolitan Police departments have that good of an indictment statistic on felony drug charges.

Proclamation presented to The News Standard WHEREAS, The Founding Fathers established the importance of having a free press in a democracy; and WHEREAS, An active and vibrant press is essential to keeping citizens informed about important issues of the day; and WHEREAS, It is important there be avenues for a wide variety of different voices and opinions to be heard; and WHEREAS, The local community newspaper plays a vital role in documenting the history of our community and our area; and WHEREAS, On October 13, 2006, The News Standard became Meade County’s newest source for news and information; and WHEREAS, Since its inception, The News Standard has garnered the trust of thousands of readers; and WHEREAS, The News Standard has been recognized by the Kentucky Press Association with 52 awards during its brief existence; and WHEREAS, The News Standard is celebrating its fourth anniversary; and WHEREAS, The publisher and staff of The News

As a Law Enforcement Officer, you are trained to get only the “FACTS,” to get the correct “FACTS.” I have been a Law Enforcement Officer my entire life, with over 38 years of experience. I have had to get the “FACTS” correct my entire career. It appears to me, a “Politician,” only has to get the “FACTS” close to accurate, and hope the VOTER, believes it, and does not question it. As I have stated numerous times, I am a career Law Enforcement Officer, not a “Politician,” because I want to get the correct “FACTS.”

The “TRUE FACT,” not “FICTION,” to the best of my knowledge from court records of the Meade County Sheriff’s Office, and not taking the credit away from other police agencies in our area, as did my opponent, is as follows: CLIFF wISE TERM

During my term in office I have had a total of 99 “FELONy DRUG ChARGES” and I still have 92 days left in my term.

Now that you the voter, have the “TRUE FACTS” you can now truly decide on my opponents question to you. From my opponents ad, and his own question to you the voter: “yOU, the voter, can decide who is tough on drug crimes. Based on true facts. As a citizen of Meade County, do you want a Law Enforcement Officer who is trained in getting the “FACTS” correct, as your Sheriff, or do you want a “Politician” as your Sheriff.”

“Thank You”

Good Call If I were a handicapper I would have given the Churchill Downs Incorporated’s (CDI) entertainment division a 50-1 longshot of actually making money. CDI entertainment division was supposed to think outside the box of horse racing and make money; instead they just thought themselves into the red… and eventually into its disbandment. With uninspired ideas such as HullabaLOU and Fork, Cork and Style, the entertainment group fell short of inspiring. The HullabaLOU festival held in July lost the company $5 million and fell 100,000 tickets short of their estimates and last month’s Fork, Cork and Style just seemed out of place and uninteresting. But here’s the problem with all of these idea. While thinking outside the box, their thoughts were still just…Boxy. A music fest is a great idea and even in times of economic turmoil, festivals such as Bonnaroo, Coachella and Lollapalooza still make out pretty well.

few hours and soon you’re in bed sleeping. A festival, however, is a day-long or even a weekend long journey into large crowds and hundreds of bands. Despite all the CDI promoters’ excuses of hot weather and economy, that’s not the big problem. The problems was their band billing While the eclectic arenafilling headliners — Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney and Dave Mathews Band seem like great catches, the electiveness of the concert actually hindered the event’s numbers. The festival hit music lovers of rock, 80’s music, country, contemporary, alternative, but it was just broad. With tickets running more than $200 and $80 per day, it’s hard to pull the trigger on going to see just one person or a few bands. It makes no sense why CDI didn’t follow their other big musical event, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where three day tickets are $60 and this year included the acts of Simon and Garfunkel, Pearl Jam and Louisville’s own My Morning Jacket. All those bands are iconic in their own way, however, they don’t differ as much as skipping music genres altogether like Kenny Chesney and DMB. Essentially, country music and arena 80s rock typically doesn’t do well

at festivals… most festivals need alternative rock, indie, jam, electronic, hip hop, and bluegrass that mesh well together. Festivals are also for the concertgoers ages 16-30. Most festival fans weren’t even alive to know Bon Jovi during their hay day or knew Joan Jett loves rock’n’roll. These fans listen to bands like Arcade Fire, The Strokes, The National, Phoenix, Kings of Leon, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Spoon, The Black Keys, and MGMT — you know, this generation’s “loud racket.” The 16-30 age group has dispensable money where they can spend upwards of $600 on a weekend full of concerts. They don’t have families, mortgages, or medical bills to worry about. Right now, I fit that bill. I had the money to go, but no interest in seeing any of the bands. Instead, I took my hard earned money and traveled to Chicago this summer rather than keeping it in Kentucky. I feel bad about it, but CDI made me choose. That’s business. So when I saw the line up of HullabaLOU last winter, I knew the day would come when the Churchill Downs, would cut its losses. Next time, I only hope CDI can regroup and really think outside the box… or at the very least, follow what works.

Rich Lowry National Review Of all the things the Newark, N.J., school system needs, the last of them is more money. Newark spends more per pupil than any other city in the country, and gets dismayingly little for it. For $22,000 per pupil — more than twice the national average — it graduates half its students. It’s easy to imagine Newark spending $44,000 per pupil and arriving at the same dismaying outcome. Nonetheless, billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is showering money

education (about $80 billion of it for K-12). As Reason magazine notes, that’s twice the Department of Education’s annual budget. These funds have kept school systems from having to undertake wrenching changes, or any changes at all. They have helped goose federal spending on education from $37.5 billion in the last year of the Bush administration to $88.8 billion in the second year of the Obama administration, according to the calculations of Jay Greene of the University of Arkansas. While the private economy has shed 8 million jobs in a work force of 150 million during the downturn, the $550 billon education system has added jobs. It’s

on a school system that’s about as short on cash as he is. His $100 million grant is a vote of confidence in Newark Mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, both compelling reformers. Even if they had a clear plan to fix Newark’s schools, though, they wouldn’t need to add another $100 million on top of the system’s $940 million annual budget to do it. In microcosm, the Newark gift captures this moment in education reform. There’s earnest chatter about change and even some progress on the ground, at the same time that the bloated, ineffectual and corrupt status quo has never been more flush in federal dollars. The stimulus bill devoted $100 billion to

the great wonder of the American economy, growing during recessions and regardless of its quality. If everyone in America were a teacher, we’d truly be a worker’s paradise. The spending would be justified if it correlated with outcomes. It doesn’t. We have tripled per-pupil spending during the past four decades while results have largely stayed flat. The money has been poured into personnel, on the theory that more teachers equal more learning. For decades, national education reform has meant more centralization and more federal spending. Maybe it’s time to try the opposite. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

But CDI failed miserably on realizing how to make a festival work. They blame heat and the economy for the problems, while festivals such as Tennessee’s nearby Bonnaroo festival and Chicago’s Lollapalooza end up in the green and break attendance records every year. The heat is a problem that most festivals tackle. With temperatures running in the 100s during the day, stages simply need to be in large event tents with the headliner stage left open to the cool night weather. It’s that simple. Sure it will still be hot, but it doesn’t’ seem to effect Bonnaroo’s 250,000 attendees. In the end, if you build a festival they will come. Bonnaroo had grown into a mythological creature of aural enjoyment, while Lollapalooza has turned into an untouchable force of great acts in an unbeatable setting of Chicago. Then you have Outside Lands, Coachella and the numerous festivals in Europe which grow stronger every year. As a frequent attendant of Lollapalooza, I have a feeling of what works and what doesn’t with festivals. There is certainly a difference between a concertgoer and a festivalgoer — they‘re two completely different animals. While a single concert is fun to go to, it lasts only a

Thank you. The News Standard is celebrating its fourth anniversary and we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the thousands of you who have welcomed us into your homes and offices. Conventional wisdom has heralded the death of newspapers for sometime. With all the new means of communication, many of the major publications are either abandoning their print editions or making plans to do so. But, there will always be a place for the local newspaper. It is a document like no other. Your community newspaper — and this is your newspaper — serves as a scrapbook of our area, our people and our times. Our first duty is to let you know what is happening with all of the background and details behind those events. Especially important are those issues and decisions that affect your everyday lives and our community as a whole. There have been a lot of those over these last four years — taxes, roads, ordinances, new schools, development, BRAC, and elections. There has also been tragedy and scandal that may not have directly affected you, but was important enough to report. We reported these in a way we feel was responsible without being sensational or bias. Our sincerest hope is our coverage of these issues and events have helped you to be a better citizen by being better informed. Included in all of this are the standard features so many have come to look to the newspaper for — television schedules, puzzles and games, words from local ministers, and the comics. However, as important as all that is, a publication such as ours becomes sort of a family album. Very few homes are without stories or pictures they have cut from a newspaper and placed in memento books or posted on refrigerator doors. It’s about the pictures of our newest citizens submitted to us by proud parents and grandparents. It’s about the two young people everyone has watched grow into adulthood and now want to announce to the world their love and affection for each other. It’s about the big game, that incredible play, and the perseverance and effort shown by the youth. It’s about that special church service that reinforces our spirits and rekindles our connections with each other. It’s about those groups of people who organize not only out of common interests, but of common purpose to make the world a little better than it is now. It’s about that new business that just opened down the street. It’s about that special birthday — be it the first or the 100th. It’s about the biggest fish and the first deer. It’s about the most tomatoes and the largest watermelon. It’s about the blue ribbons and the silver trophies. It’s about that unusual or interesting piece of history you may have never heard before. It’s about the farewells to friends and family who we’ll long remember. It’s all of that and so much more. That’s why we take this responsibility very seriously and pledge to continue the commitment to fair, accurate and responsible reporting. Being a newspaer is a public trust we will never take for granted. Thank you.

The ultimate goal of the Viewpoints page is to encourage frank and lively discussion on topics of interest in Meade County. Editorials are the opinion of newspaper management. Columns represent the view of the writer and do not necessarily represent the view of newspaper management. The News Standard welcomes and encourages letters to the editor. Letters will appear as space permits and may be edited for grammar and clarity. They must be no more than 500 words, must include a signature, town of residence, and phone number for confirmation. Letters may be handwritten, typed or e-mailed. Multiple submissions from the same author may not be printed. Libelous letters will not be published.

Dan Newton Divine Guidance John 4: 39-42 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testiďŹ ed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me everything I ever did.â&#x20AC;? Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days. Many more believed because of what He said. And they told the woman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.â&#x20AC;? (HCSB) Before Jesus could even ďŹ nish correcting his disciples,

the crowds began to gather. The woman Jesus had met at the well had now become a well of life herself, and her testimony created a deep thirst throughout the people in Sychar. The disciples were incredulous as the Samaritans begged Jesus to stay in their city and preach to them. All their lives, the disciples had been taught that Samaritans were dark, bestial creatures who would never be able to fully understand the truth. Jesus, however, knew better. He stayed in Sychar for two days, teaching the people and answering their questions. When he ďŹ nally left, the small town had been transformed. She who had been treated like an outcast was not toasted as a heroine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We no longer believe in him because of what you said,â&#x20AC;? the people told her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that we have

heard him for ourselves, we believe this man is the Savior of the world.â&#x20AC;? God wants to do more than give you a drink from his well of life. He wants to make you into a well of living water, so that others will also be about to drink from your life. Sadly, most of the church has emphasized getting a drink far more than becoming a well. This is part of the reason that many Christians have no real interest in the kingdom of God beyond the satisfaction of their own needs. Even worse is the fact that many of these same Christians quietly drop out of the church once their depression is gone or their marriage is better. After all, why should they continue to go to church when their whole purpose for going there in the ďŹ rst place has already been fulďŹ lled?

If this is your attitude, God wants to deal with your heart today because the people around you are desperate for a well. You must not continue to think that some anointed evangelist or incredible pastor is going to be used by God to touch all of your friends. On most cases, your friends will want to take their ďŹ rst spiritual drink from a trusted source, and whether you like it or not, the water they desire the most is probably the life they see ďŹ&#x201A;owing out of you. If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morning service starts at 11 a.m. We invite you to listen to our weekly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

Some place little value on attending church Randy Johnson Pastorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spotlight A story was told about a man taking his two children out to see a movie. They walked up to the cashier and the man took out a $20 bill and slid it un-

der the window. He received his tickets and the three of them went in to see the show. The next day the man took his two children to church. Soft music was being played on the piano as the offering was taken up. When the man passed the offering plate he opened up his wallet, took out a $5 bill and placed it in the offering plate.

One of his little children spoke up and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gee Daddy, church sure is a lot cheaper than the movies.â&#x20AC;? The ďŹ rst time I heard that story I reacted much like most people would, I chuckled. But when you think about it this story reminds us that most people place a much higher value on many other things in life than the church. Why

does $20 look so small at Wal-Mart but too big to put in the offering plate at church? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the value we place on each. Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.â&#x20AC;? Mat. 6:21 Could it be that you are guilty of placing too little value on Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church?

The Weldon Christian Church held its homecoming and dedication service last Sunday.

The News Standard - A7

School board recognizes students’ scores progress By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Student success was at the forefront of Tuesday’s Meade County School Board meeting as the board recognized Kentucky Core Content Test (KCCT) scores and their Adequate Yearly Progress Report from around the county. Kellianne Wilson, secondary instructional supervisor, and Melissa Tabor, curriculum resource teacher, spoke about the No Child Left Behind Adequate Yearly Progress Report for the elementary and primary schools. According to Wilson, as a district, Meade County met 13 out of its 13 target goals. The students were broken off into different sub-categories: white, AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, Asian, limited English proficiency, free/reduced lunch, and students with disabilities. “We had very positive results,” Wilson said. “We saw some great strides.” She added that this is the first time the district has met all of its target goals since the 2004-2005 school year. Aside from the district’s 13 target goals, each school goal had four smart goals that focused on areas that

festival was also profitable. Trick or treating hours for Muldraugh were set by council members. The city’s ghosts and goblins can stroll the streets from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 31. Public works supervisor Anthony Lee informed the council that the city had been randomly selected to complete a storm water system survey. Muldraugh was one of three cities selected to complete the form. The survey, which was filled out by the Hawkins Engineering firm, addressed issues such as how the system is functioning, different facets implemented and any changes considered for the future. The timeframe for the survey is 2005-2009. Muldraugh still had to complete the survey, despite

Council members did not have to conduct a public hearing originally scheduled

they would like to improve. In the No Child Left Behind portion of the Annual Measurable Objective, district fifth graders scored a 74.49 percent in reading, which is below the targeted goal of 100 percent of students in the proficient area. Seventh, eighth, tenth and eleventh graders also scored below the targeted proficient area in math. Seventh/eighth graders scored a 64.19 percent, with tenth/ eleventh graders scoring a 39.60 percent. The two areas of focus in elementary schools were reading and writing and both scores improved, with reading increasing from a 76.15 to 78.47 and writing increasing from a 58.61 to 60.29. According to Wilson, the transition index for Meade County is a 93 and their projected score is a 102, that ranks Meade County 27th out of 174 districts. Tabor and Wilson compared 2010 KCCT scores to the 2009 scores, showing that most schools met their targeted goals: •Flaherty Primary/Elementary: transition index increased from a 85 to 87, reading declined one point from a 91 to a 90, math increased from an 87 to 94, science increased from a 91

the fact that their stormwater system began operating March 2010. The survey will be sent to Frankfort to be assessed. If the survey is not approved, the city will have to pay a fine. Lee also informed the council that the gravity portion of the storm water project is nearly completed. The public works supervisor also notified council members that a few fire hydrants in the city will be replaced. Lee also mentioned that sections of the problematic drainage system on 31 W have been marked for repairs. Tate informed the council that preparations for the final vote on a storm shelter for the city is nearly 99 percent. The facility, which will be able to shelter 1,000 people, will be self contained and will have its own electricity. The price tag of the shelter dropped from $2.7 million to nearly $1 million, Tate added. concerning property located at 628 Lewis Place. City officials had notified the owners the house was abandoned and in total disrepair. The public hearing was to give the owners a fair chance to explain why there had been no reply to the city’s request something be done. “In fact, the property is already gone as we speak and taken care of,” Pace said. City Attorney Darren Sipes said he appreciated the owners’ willingness to take care of the problem without any problems.

board employees. “This year we’re happy about our test scores,” Crump said. “I feel really good about the progress we’re making.

Library From page A1 fanfare in October 1910 including a parade through town. There are not currently any plans for the building once the library moves to its new location on Old Ekron Road and the fate of the legendary “class stairs” remains undecided. However, the library wants all to come and share a little birthday cake and leave some memories in a special book being prepared for future generations to learn more about the rich heritage the building has provided. What was it like going to school there? A remembrance from Rachel Hardin Clarke, provided to the library in 2008, gives some clues.

Fiscal From page A1 If there had been, we could put this off until after the first of the year.” Craycroft noted one of the changes would allow the county to accept dual bids for insurance coverage. “This gives an option instead of having to take one choice only,” Craycroft said. The move would allow employees to choose taking a base policy or a more premium benefit package. There was some discussion on the section concerning nepotism. It reads: “No county government officer or county government employee shall act in his/her official capacity to hire or cause to be hired any member of his/her immediate family to an hourly rate with benefits in excess of any other employee with similar job duties, responsibilities and qualification requirements.” “With this, it allows some that are out of compliance that nobody has a problem

“There were no flat places either in back or in front of the school except, on top of the hill, there was a dirt basketball court,” Clarke wrote. Clarke also recalled a “big square of concrete” at the bottom of the stairs where students played jump rope at recess. “Out front, we also played jacks and hopscotch on the sidewalk,” she said. She also recalled games a little more on the active side. “The boys played keepaway on the slope to the east of the building (front) and sometimes the girls joined them,” she said. “The slope didn’t seem to bother us.” According to Clarke’s recollections, there was a Maypole in the back where mothers would come to watch students wind colored paper around the pole. “The most remarkable

thing were the concrete stairs down to Main Street,” Clarke wrote. “On each riser was the name of maybe two graduates of the years when the stairs were put in.” The stairs became part of the path to school for many over the years. “I went home each day for dinner and sometimes on my return to school I would go over the hill opposite the Baptist Church on a path, cross Main Street to those stairs and up them,” she said. “It was a shorter route than walking around the hill, but took more wind.” Library officials hope that the Centennial celebration will bring in more stories and reminisces that can be shared through the years. The celebration will be all day long Oct. 21. At 1 p.m., birthday cake and refreshments will be served.

with to be in compliance,” Craycroft said. Originally, the section read the court does not prohibit qualified relatives from being hired. But, it did not allow for a relative to supervise another in the same department. The policy narrowed the scope of those relatives to immediate family members. “I don’t have a problem with nepotism,” said Magistrate Mark Hubbard. “But, I do have a problem with family supervising family.” A question by Magistrate Herbert Chism lead to a discussion as to who the county personnel policies actually cover. “By doing it this way, do we take care of other elected offices?” Chism asked. That question lead to a discussion about which offices have to abide by the county personnel policy. County Attorney Margaret Matney said she had her own personnel policy for her office and it was discussed that each office can have their own policy or opt to follow the county policy. “I guess we need to look at

each and every one,” Chism suggested. “It’s kind of contradictory. If you have one that says you can’t hire a relative in one office and you have a policy in another that says you can, which one supersedes the other? We need to clear that up.” Chism asked if an office has a personnel policy different than the county’s, does the court ask the office to change their policy. “You don’t have the discretion to do that,” Matney answered. “I just don’t want to change something in ours that’s going to affect theirs,” Chism said. “If we don’t have anything binding in ours, then there’s no reason for us to change.” Craycroft noted the county’s policy manual states those policies in the handbook apply to all employees except those of the sheriff, county clerk, coroner, and county attorney unless a written request is received by the court otherwise. Matney noted the policies create an odd situation for her office since her receptionist is considered an employee

of fiscal court and not of the county attorney; therefore, the receptionist must follow the county’s policies and not those set by the county attorney for her own office. “I have a different sick day and vacation policy than (the county’s) and it makes it difficult at times,” Matney said. Matney said she would make inquiries about the situation and bring her findings back to the fiscal court. Craycroft also noted a change to the holiday pay scale which would give employees working on a holiday one and one-half times their regular pay. Christmas and Thanksgiving days would earn double time. “The way it was (originally) stated, they were getting triple time and a half,” Craycroft said. Magistrates were scheduled to received a revised version at Tuesday’s regular session, but did not discuss the matter during that meeting. Following Tuesday’s meeting of the Meade County Fiscal Court, some lingering after the session where wondering

why everyone was still there. The court, in what many say was the shortest meeting in a long time, dispatched with all of its business in 29 minutes. Its major business was not even on the agenda. Pat Barr of the Rhodelia Volunteer Fire Department requested $2,000 to use in constructing a helicopter pad for use by air ambulance vehicles. “We have never had our own landing space for a helicopter at our fire station,” Barr said. “We’ve always relied on the church parking lot and the four intersections in our fire district.” Barr explained that during the past few years Meade County RECC has removed all of the electric lines from the fields and farms and relocated them to along the highway. “That has made it impossible for us to land in the places we used to use,” Barr said. “We relied more and more on the church parking lot, but that’s become more of a problem especially on weekends when there’s a service or something going on at the

community center.” Meade County Judge/ Executive Harry Craycroft told the magistrates there was $1,700 left in the budget for special projects for the remainder of the fiscal year. Answering a question from Magistrate Tony Staples, Barr said it would be the only landing area in that part of the county. Magistrate Randall Hardesty made the motion to give the fire station that amount toward the construction of the pad with a second made by Magistrate Herbert Chism. “If that’s the only landing pad in that part of the county, I think this is a lot more important than a lot of the other things we give to,” Staples said. Prior to the unanimous approval by the court, Meade County Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick said his department would fund the remaining $300 toward the pad’s completion. Magistrates also set the county’s trick-or-treat hours to Oct. 31 between 5 and 8:30 p.m.

PINS invited local pet owners and their lovable critters to the amphitheater at the riverside park in Brandenburg. Halloween attire for guests both two and fourlegged was encouraged. The festival included games and contests for pets and owners, a blessing of

the animals, trick or treating with the pets and a raffle drawing. Door prizes were given out throughout the day. “This is just a fun event for people. We’re just trying to celebrate people enjoying their animals,” Liz Bell said, who was one of the founding members of PINS.

Friday, October 15, 2010

By Brian Graves The News Standard Kevin Best never really figured to do what he now does. “I was originally born and lived in Louisville,” Best said. “I moved around a lot and graduated from Frederick High School, then got married.” Best said his wife is from this area, so the city got left behind for the family farm in Ekron. “The farm had been abandoned for 60 years, so they let us go out there to live and we’ve been there almost 16 years,” Best said. “We really enjoy it.” For most of his career, Best worked in landscaping and construction. “I’ve always been outdoors with everything I’ve done,” he noted. “I worked on cars and then became a master gardener working in a greenhouse.” Best received his master gardener title working with the county extension agency. And now, Best has totally changed directions by becoming a message therapist. “My wife is a nurse,”

Massage therapist Kevin Best gives his colleague, Nicole Blevins, a therapeutic massage in Bluegras Massage Therapeutics’ therapy room. Best said. “So, living with a nurse for 20 years it just kind of rubbed off on me. I had always talked about getting into the medical field somehow. It’s not something I thought about overnight. This has been in my mind for years.”

He said the thought was to go into physical therapy of some kind. “But, once I started doing the research I saw where the massage had more benefits — not just for people who want to relax, but for people with certain medical

Judge/Executive candidates to speak at Chamber luncheon Submitted by MC Chamber of Commerce Republican Gerry Lynn and Democrat Becky Flaherty, the two candidates for Meade County Judge/ Executive in November’s general election, will speak and answer questions at this month’s membership luncheon for members of the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce. “Because of the high degree of public interest in the race, the luncheon will be open to the general public,” said Russ Powell, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. It will take place Thursday, Oct. 21, at the Farm Bureau Community Center at the Meade County Fair-

grounds in Brandenburg. To allow adequate time for the program, which will involve opening and closing statements by the candidates as well as their answers to questions from those attending, the luncheon will begin at 11:45 a.m., according to Powell. “We appreciate the willingness of these candidates to come before us to discuss their qualifications, plans, and visions for Meade County and to answer our questions about key issues,” Powell said. Members of the public and of the Chamber of Commerce who plan to attend should make their reservations with Powell by noon Wednesday, October 20, by calling 270-422-

3626 or emailing rpowell@ meadekychamber.org. The cost is $8 per person for members, their guests, and the public. Home Plate Family Restaurant will serve an applethemed lunch — pork loin with apple sauce glaze, apple cole slaw, mashed potatoes, and corn pudding, with apple caramel pie for dessert. Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System, a long-time Chamber of Commerce member, will be the luncheon’s sponsor. Lincoln Trail operates a 116-bed treatment center that offers psychiatric and chemical-dependency treatment for adolescents and adults. Its 20-acre campus is located at 3909 South Wilson Road in Radcliff.

Adult Ed Center opens Oct. 19 Submitted by MC Adult Education Center Area residents are invited to dedication ceremonies on Tuesday, Oct. 19 for the Meade County Adult Education Center. The noon ceremony will be held at the center’s new location, 2075 Bypass Rd., Suite C, Brandenburg. A brief program will include remarks by Diane Bratcher, Center Director; Dr. Thelma J. White, President/CEO of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College; and Mitchell Crump, superintendent of Meade County Schools. An open house will follow.

The Meade County Adult Education Center provides academic skills instruction for eligible adults. Services include GED preparation, life skills, employability skills and computer literacy. A new, federally-funded Even Start Program provides early childhood education services for eligible clients. “Adult education has always been about the future, preparing citizens to compete for good jobs, support their families, and enjoy a better quality of life,” Bratcher said. “Classrooms and other learning areas at our new location provide expanded

space and a wonderful atmosphere for adults who wish to improve their ability to read, write, speak and function effectively in the workplace and society,” she said. “We’re excited about our mission and the new facility, and we hope that members of the communities we serve will join us on Oct. 19 for this special celebration.” Since 2003, funding for adult education services in Meade County has been provided through a grant to Elizabethtown Community and Technical College from the Kentucky Department of Adult Education Services.

conditions. So, being able to help people makes it a really good field to be in and it’s growing,” Best said. He said people are looking for different methods of relief as opposed to medications. “This is definitely the way to do it,” Best said.

Best now has his national certification in massage therapy and has joined with Nicole Blevins and Bluegrass Massage Therapeutics in Brandenburg. “I love working with Nicole. She’s awesome,” Best said, noting the two have different styles. “She’s really good with the deeper massages, and I do a lot of relaxation, reflexology, and some energy work. There’s a lot of different methods involved with massage therapies,” Best said. He said he doesn’t do a lot of the soft scrubs and mud wraps. “I’m just not into that. That’s more of a spa setting,” he said. “The hardest thing someone has to do when they come in for a massage is nothing,” Best said. “You come in, lay on the table, then letting your body completely relax is the hardest thing to do.” He said some customers like to talk, while others remain quiet during their therapy. “If they want to talk I’ll answer their questions. But, I’m not going to set

here and ask them questions where they have to answer,” Best said. He added once the massage therapy is completed, he will discuss various exercises they can use that would help their body and make them feel better. Best specializes in what is known as the Swedish massage. “I also do reflexology which deals with certain spots on the body that have something to do with the organs of the body. Energy work is a light touch or no touch at all. It’s using the energy the body has in it,” Best said. “I like to educate people on the importance of drinking water whenever you get dehydrated,” he said. “It’s not just your organs, it’s your muscle tissue that can start to break down.” Appointments are available Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The office is located at 365 East Broadway, Suite 2, in Brandenburg and can be reached by calling 270422-3694.

AGRICULTURE Brothers keep family farm going strong

Friday, October 15, 2010

A12- The News Standard

Dive Right in & Call KFB!

By Casey Tolliver The News Standard Ed and John Pike have farming in their blood. So the brothers, who both left public sector jobs to take over the family farming duties nearly 25 years ago, had no trouble making the adjustments needed to become farmers. “It felt pretty good,” Ed said. “You were pretty much your own boss. I think you get a feeling of accomplishment when you raise a crop. Of course, it wasn’t a big transition. We always farmed, even when we had our public jobs.” “We grew up with it as THE NEWS STANDARD/CASEY TOLLIVER kids,” John added. “When Brothers John and Ed Pike throw out the feed for their cattle at the Pike Family Farm. you got big enough to do something (on the farm), you did it.

It’s healthier.”

Maximize early hay usage to get through winter Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources Some Kentucky farmers have already started feeding hay due to the dry weather. Because drought conditions vary across the state, the feeding of hay also varies depending on location. Smart hay conservation will help you make it through the winter. Value the hay crop you have. To get the most out of your supply, don’t waste it by providing more than your livestock can eat or more than they need. The general rule is between 1.5 percent and 2.5 percent of the animal’s body weight per day in total feed. For horses fed alfalfa hay, throwing the hay on the ground makes the leaves shatter and the leaves contain the most nutrients. It

is better to use a simple hay feeder which keeps hay off the ground and helps reduce waste. You might consider hay cubes for horses. The larger cubes work well. Although more expensive, horses easily digest the cubes and they are an efﬁcient feed. For cattle and sheep, cone feeders seem to result in the least hay loss. If you can grind hay with a device like a haybuster, and then feed out into “windrows,” it will tremendously reduce losses for cattle. Cover round hay bales with a tarp or store them in a barn to cut loss. When feeding hay, whether it’s in the fall or during the winter months, you should always have the Kentucky Department of Agriculture test hay before feeding it to horses. Then you can make an informed and economical decision about feeding supplements with the hay. Once you receive the results from the hay test, you can then balance a suitable

ration for livestock (dry cows, feeders, horses, etc.). To do otherwise, you may be simply throwing money away. Some Kentucky-produced hay will meet all of the requirements cattle need for maintenance without need for supplementation. If you do need to supplement, ﬁnd the cheapest source that provides the necessary nutrients your livestock need. Make an economic decision based on feedstuff availability. Kentucky had tremendous amounts of moisture early during the year and a phenomenal amount of hay was made in as a result. Without further rainfall this fall, hay could get scarce by late January through early March. You should best calculate what your hay needs will be if you need to feed continuously from now until March. After that, calculate the amount of hay you have on hand and accordingly make decisions about se-

curing more hay. For more information on having your hay tested and deciding how much hay you need contact Meade County Cooperative Extension Service.

Greenwave bids farewell to seniors, B4 The News Standard

N. Hardin rises above Meade in ﬁrst round of district By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard Nothing could go right for the Meade County Greenwave soccer team during the opening 10th District Tournament 3-0 loss against North Hardin. The frustrating game for the Greenwave opened chances for North Hardin with 11 minutes in when senior Todd Johnson received a yellow card. “We got a little frustrated with the calls,” Meade County head coach Matt Pollock said. “You can’t let that dictate the way you play… that’s out of your control. We got to do things that we

know we can control.” During a direct kick resulting from the yellow card, North Hardin sailed the ball from midﬁeld, which slipped pass sophomore keeper Alex Fackler’s hands to make the score 1-0, 11 minutes into the game. “You don’t expect them to mash one from that far out,” Pollock said. “The wind was just behind him enough. A lot of times your ﬁrst reaction is to take a step forward. Alex took that one step forward and couldn’t recover. “They got that one goal on us and it stunned us some. We tried to push back, but it wouldn’t come

together for us tonight.” North Hardin continued to dominate the game and added a late first half goal when a throw-in was deflected past Fackler. North Hardin added their third and final goal three minutes into the second half after they put a lot of pressure on the Meade County defense. “We just fell apart,” said senior midfielder Cody Clements. “We couldn’t connect passes and make the runs we needed to do. We just weren’t connecting at all.” The Greenwave was coming off some momentum See ABOVE, Page B2

They did just that as the Lady Waves went to score three ﬁrst half goals to eventually win, 3-0, during the 10th District opening round game. “I told the girls congratulations they got the job done,” Shook said, who was not happy his team was shut out in the second half. “They advanced in the district tournament, but it See KNOCK OUT, Page B2

Kristin Benton charges down the ﬁeld against Fort Knox.

Meade County head football coach Larry Mofield was a little worried that his team would come out flat after a 2 1/2 hour drive to Lincoln County, but Meade County was all but flat as they jumped out a 21-0 lead and eventually won 35-10 last Friday. “I was worried about that,” Mofield said of the long ride. “I don’t know if we were focused or flat but the team was quiet. But we came out and got an early lead. Really, it should have been 28-0 before the half.” Meade County took the

Micaela Ray out runs a Fort Knox defender for the ball.

Knock out From page B1 wasn’t pretty.” Freshman Micaela Ray started the scoring off early for the Lady Waves 3 minutes into the game when she chipped the ball over the Fort Knox’s keeper from 18 yards out. Her second goal came 15 minutes later when she deflected a throw in by senior striker Kristin Benton. “She knows where to be and she has a lot of speed,” Shook said of Ray who is a former cross country and track runner. “We’re real proud of her for what she’s done and looking for a good three more years from her.”

Ray fought for the starting position a quarter through the season and has become one of the team’s leading scorers during the second part of the season. “That’s why she earned that spot as a freshman,” Shook said. “We had several girls early in the season playing that spot. We went through five games before we started her. She was scoring in practice and some games. So, she earned it.” Benton finished off the first half scoring with a goal that was set up by sophomore fullback Megan Speaks. But that’s all the offense the Lady Waves could muster. During the second half, they were shut out. “I said during halftime

The loss ended the Greenwave’s season with a 6-11-2 overall record. The team started the season with a four game win streak, but had a rough 35 days where they went winless, including a winless season in district play. “It’s upsetting,” Clements said. “It’s my senior year and I wanted us to pull together and have a good season. But I guess that didn’t happen. Bad seasons come.”

‘Could you all go out and score a few more goal?’” Shook said. “The girls said ‘Yes.’ Obviously, we didn’t do it. They outplayed us much of the second half. “The second half, Fort Knox just stepped up. I think they came out with a renewed energy that they didn’t have in the first half and we did not meet it.” Fort Knox has been the 10th District cellar dwellers for eight years where they have posted a 0-59-1 record. Meade County has outscored Fort Knox 79-6 during that time in 15 matches. While the Lady Waves struggled to find the net Fort Knox had several chances to score, including a bouncing ball that went over senior keeper Kiana Rupe’s head and landed on top of the net. “Several shots from our angle looked like they went in,” Shook said. Shook was concerned about the play as the team moved on to play Central Hardin in the semifinals match held on Wednesday. The results of the game were not available before press time. “If we play the caliber of game we did tonight it’s going to be an ugly game for us… We’re just going to get demolished,” Shook said. Meade wins season finale Meade County defeated Corydon Central, 2-0, last Wednesday during their last game of the regular season. Senior striker Lindsey Burchett and junior midfielder Shelby Miller each scored to help the Lady Waves for their second straight win. Senior keeper Kiana Rupe made five saves in her seventh shutout of the season.

From page B1 Breckinridge County in 2005. “The girls are devastated,” said Meade County head coach Jennifer Smith. “Breckinridge County played with all heart and we played with none. I told them that our circumstances of winning the district so many times and beating them three times this year probably isn’t the best way to go into this. It took the pressure off of us. Breckinridge County came out and played the best game I’ve seen them play.” The Lady Waves lost the first set, 25-15, which was the first opening set loss against a district opponent this season. Breckinridge County came out with a 6-1 lead and then extended it to 18-10, due to several blocks and missed hits by Meade County. The Lady Tigers ended with six blocks on Meade County’s much taller and athletic middle hitters, Luney and senior Tiffany Filburn. “I didn’t think we were pumped enough,” Luney said, who had eight kills and five digs. “Their blocks were awesome. We just weren’t hitting as strong as we should have. They got a lot better since the last time we played them. They played a whole lot harder than we did” Filburn, one of the region’s best players, was made obsolete by Breckinridge County as she had only seven kills, two assists, two aces and one block — one of her lowest statistical games of the season. “They shut her down today,” Smith said. “They keyed on her.” During the second game, there were seven lead changes, but the Lady Tigers made a three-point run to making the score 20-17 and didn’t look back after that. “We just weren’t on our game today,” Smith said. “We let balls drop in front

of us between two players. Then we started getting after each other and pointing fingers. That’s what got us down so quick.” The Breckinridge County home crowd also played an affect on the team. “Breck County is always like this,” Smith said. “Every time we come here they have a loud crowd. I told the girls they had to keep the crowd out of their minds. That’s sports, you have to play through it.” Meade County went 5-0 during the season against district opponents and earned a bye into the district championship game. This is the first year the district was comprised of three teams, which allows an automatic bid into the region tournament. “I like playing a game before the championship game,” Smith said. “It’s better than practice because you’re going against girls that are pretty good and it’s full speed. I think it hurt our rhythm actually.” Last week, the Lady Waves played two games without junior setter Becca Clark, sophomore outside hitter Billie Weick and junior outside hitter Rachel Powers. During the time, Smith used sophomore Selena Burton as a setter. “We had Selena as our setter,” Smith said. “So she was used to being up and going after the ball. Then she moved back to the back line and it was a tough adjustment.” There were several points against Breckinridge County where the back line of Meade County’s defense was out of place or lost communication. The team also had seven missed hits that went to the net. Clark ended the night with 16 assists, two kills and eight digs while Burton chipped in with nine digs, two kills and an assist. The Lady Waves’ season isn’t over yet. Since they had an automatic bid in the district tournament championship, they will move onto the 3rd Region tournament at McLean County next week. The bracket will be filled on Sunday. Check next week’s issue of The News

We’re not used to that kind of prosperity during a game.” The fourth quarter was all Meade County where Liverman capped off a threetouchdown night with backto-back touchdowns.

The game tonight at Nelson County has huge district implications as both teams post a 1-1 record. “This is the most important game of the year,” Mofield said. “We say that about every game, but this one rings true a little more than the others. “We’ve put ourselves in a position where we can still get in the playoffs. Both teams’ backs are against the wall. The one who loses will have two losses in the district.

‘Wave wins senior night By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

The Meade County Greenwave soccer team may have won their biggest game of the season during senior night when they beat Bardstown, 6-0, last Thursday night. Meade County, coming off a dismal, winless September, won its second straight game to finish out the season with a 6-10-2 overall record. “It’s our last home game and our last time at home,” said senior forward D.J. Spurlock. “It was important to just destroy somebody.” Senior forward Todd Johnson made it an extra special night with a hat trick, where he opened the scoring midway through the first half with a goal, 1-0. His second goal came 10 minutes into the second half and then he rounded out his hat trick with a goal 20 minutes later. “It feels good,” Johnson said about getting three goals. “I haven’t scored in forever. This game was senior night and we wanted to win and play hard.” Spurlock scored from 30 yards out in the second half

to continue the offensive barrage by Meade County’s 10 seniors. “I didn’t expect it to go in,” Spurlock said of his goal that hooked over Bardstown’s keeper’s diving hand. “I saw his hand there and thought ‘oh he’s got it,’ but then it just barely went over.” Senior keeper Logan Griffith scored the team’s fourth goal of the game on a penalty kick, which was awarded after Johnson was tripped up in the goal box. It was Griffith’s only goal of the season. “I was so happy,” Griffith said. “I planned on getting a goal the entire year. I got to thank the guys for giving me the chance.” “We told him that he was going to get a goal,” Johnson added. “When we got the opportunity we knew we had to give him the chance. He scored and that was fun.” Sophomore defender Dylan Andrews capped of the score, 6-0, with only 6 minutes left into the game. The six goals marked the team’s largest win since their 6-1 victory over Corydon Central (Ind.).

“We did a lot of things well,” said Meade County head coach Matt Pollock. “We tweaked a few things at halftime. We found some things they were giving us and started making our runs better. Things just clicked in a lot of different ways.” The team ended the season with two wins and outscored their opponents 7-0. “It was way more important to win tonight,” Johnson said. “This was our last home game and we wanted to end with a win and gives us some good momentum.” With Meade County’s final game of the season, 10 seniors were recognized before the game. The senior class has had quite a roller coaster season. “You can almost write a book about this year,” Pollock said. “Between injuries and the downs and ups, I’m just real happy for the guys to come out, play hard and have fun. It’s a great win for them to end the season on.” “It’s heartbreaking because this is the last time we’re going to be out there,” Griffith said. “There’s a lot of passion and heart on this field. We wanted the win and we got it.”

Paws Corner By Sam Mazzotta Why Do Dogs Eat Dirt?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have three rescued dogs that each dig a small hole, usually with their teeth, and proceed to eat the dirt. I feed them quality food, so I don’t know what they’re after. Is this typical behavior or are they lacking a mineral that the dirt is providing? I’m also not real happy about the holes in the lawn. I’ll bet I am not the only one with this issue. — Jeannette V., Billings Mont. DEAR JEANNETTE: You’re right, this behavior is actually fairly common and a source of distress for a lot of dog owners. Termed “pica” — defined by the Angell Memorial Hospital’s Book of Wellness and Preventive Care for Dogs as “an abnormal desire to eat things that are indigestible” — this behavior includes eating dirt and rocks. Some dogs will eat sticks, socks or whatever is handy. A common form of pica is coprophagia, a fancy term for “eating poop,” which many dog owners also deal with. Pica is a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, although a nutritional deficiency also can be a cause. So the first thing to do is consult the dogs’ veterinarian. The vet may ask you to bring in samples of the dogs’ stool to check for worms or other problems. (Separate each dog’s sample in plastic baggies labeled with their names.) Even if the vet doesn’t find a physical cause, he or she may recommend you add a vitamin supplement to their diets. You’ll also need to address the obsessive-compulsive component. This means going outside with the dogs (or taking them out one by one for awhile). When they start digging or chewing at the ground, distract them immediately and call them over for a short spell of basic obedience training, rewarding them with either treats or praise depending on your training style. You also must fill in and re-sod the small holes in the lawn. Send your pet questions to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Q: I really got sucked into “The Gates” this summer, and I was wondering if it will be back for a second season. With all the shows these days that have vampires and werewolves and the like, this one is truly unique, exciting and suspenseful. — Theodore F., via e-mail A: I have to agree with you — I absolutely love “The Gates.” An ABC representative told me that there is no official word yet as to the show’s fate (as of this writBrooke Elliot ing). I’m hoping it doesn’t go the way of “FlashForward,” another excellent ABC series that was canceled back in May. I just hate to get interested and invested in a series, only to have the rug pulled out from under me when it gets canceled because the network didn’t give it enough of a chance. This need for immediate ratings results really doesn’t do anything to help nourish and grow a new series. Q: I love Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva.” Has it been renewed for another season? — Kelli J., St. Louis A: I’m happy to report that the unique comedy/drama starring the delightful Brooke Elliott has been renewed for its third season, which is set to premiere its 13 new episodes in 2011. Q: One show I am delighted to watch again is “Lou Grant,” a spin-off from the old “Mary Tyler Moore Show.” I am enjoying it again but wondered about the actors and what became of them. I know Ed Asner is still active and that Nancy Marchand passed away a few years ago. But what about some of the others? —Dorothy P., via e-mail A: Linda Kelsey has guest-starred in many TV shows and movies, including “Day by Day,” “Matlock,” “ER” and “Touched By An Angel.” Most recently she co-starred in “Into Temptation” with Jeremy Sisto, Kristin Chenowith and Brian Baumgartner. Robert Walden has been steadily working since “Lou Grant,” starring in “Brothers” and guest-starring on “Melrose Place,” “Judging Amy,” “The West Wing” and “Law and Order: SVU,” among others. Daryl Anderson has done a myriad of different projects, from soaps (“Days of Our Lives” and “The Young and The Restless”) to TV series (“Flipper” and “The A-Team”) to movies (“The Kid” with Bruce Willis and “Human Nature” with Tim Robbins). Q: The other day when I was listening to the radio, and old favorite song of mine, “If You Leave” by OMD, came on the radio. It made me wonder what the band was doing now and if they’ll be putting out any new material. — Michael D., West Palm Beach, Fla. A: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, or OMD, just released “History of Modern,” its first album of new material in 14 years.

Last Week’s Solutions

• The next time you’re in South Dakota, you might want to make a side trip to the town of Rosalyn. Visitors there can take a look through the International Vinegar Museum. • Though coffee has been around for about 700 years, instant coffee was invented just more than 100 years ago, in 1906. By George Washington. Of course not that George Washington. The man who made coffee more convenient was from Belgium. • Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity suggest that the passage of time is affected not only by acceleration (a person traveling at the speed of light, for instance, will age more slowly than someone who is stationary), but also by gravity. Scientists using ultra-precise atomic clocks have proved that people who experience a stronger gravitational pull age more quickly. What does this mean for you? If you spend your life precisely at sea level and your twin lives at 1 foot above sea level, over the course of a 79-year lifespan a difference of 90 billionths of a second will develop between your ages. • The average coffee tree yields only enough beans every year to make one pound of coffee. • Thought for the Day: “Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.” -- Stephen King (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be growing impatient with a situation that seems to resist efforts to resolve it. But staying with it raises the odds that you’ll find a way to a successful resolution. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel and kinship are strong in the Bovine’s aspect this week. This would be a good time to combine the two and take a trip to see family members for a pre-holiday get-together. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A colleague could make a request you’re not comfortable with. If so, say so. Better to disappoint someone by sticking with your principles than disappoint yourself if you don’t. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child’s ability to adapt to life’s ebbs and flows helps you deal with the changes that you might confront at work or at home, or both. Things settle down by the week’s end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to get some long-outstanding business matters resolved. Then go ahead and plan a fun-filled family getaway weekend with the mate and the cubs. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A possible workplace change seems promising. If you decide to look into it, try not to form an opinion on just a small part of the picture: Wait for the full image to develop. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A newcomer helps keep things moving. There might be some bumpy moments along the way, but at least you’re heading in the right direction. You win praise for your choices. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You could be pleasantly surprised by how a decision about one thing opens up an unexpected new option. Also, assistance on a project could come from a surprising source. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With more information to work with, you might now be able to start the process that could lead to a major change. Reserve the weekend for family and friends. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This could be a good time to begin gathering information that will help you turn that long-held idea into something substantive. A personal matter might need extra attention. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge might carry some surprises. But you should be able to handle them using what you already know. That new supporter should be there to lend assistance. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone might be trying to disguise his or her true motives. But the perceptive and perspicacious Pisces should have little or no problem finding the truth in all that foggy rhetoric. BORN THIS WEEK: You can always rely on your people skills to help you find solutions to problems others often give up on. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Meade County High School team took third place at the NASP World Championships held in Orlando, Fla. The team shot a 3,273.

Meade places well in world championships By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard The Meade County archery program competed in the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) World Championships in Orlando, Fla., last Sunday. Meade County High School finished third in the world with a score of 3,273 with 152 10s. Last year, Meade County took first place overall. Payneville Elementary School and Stuart Pepper Middle School each finished fifth in the elementary and middle school division respectively. Payneville shot a 2,942, while Stuart Pepper shot a 3,217. On the individual side, senior Nathan Parcell finished fourth overall and second in his division with a score of 292 and 22 10s. Seventh grader Kayla Dowell finished seventh overall with a score of 288 and was first in her division. Freshman Randall Reardon finished 13th overall with a score of 288. He finished second overall in his grade. The archery program has been tremendously success-

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Hunting strategies are different, calling is not as critical to success, and birds are often in big flocks, concentrating on local food sources — everything about fall wild turkey hunting makes it more challenging than the spring season.   The key to success in the spring is getting close to gobbling toms and seducing them into gun range with subtle hen calls such as clucks, purrs and yelps. Communication between the sexes is a major part of the mating ritual.   Bagging a turkey in the fall is as much about finding concentrations of birds as figuring out their daily patterns. Birds are segregated by sex and key on food sources.   “In the fall, turkeys spend a lot of time in forests feeding on acorns,” said Steven Dobey, wild turkey biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “This fall’s mast crop looks good, so they won’t have to move around much to find food.”   Setting up a portable blind near areas where turkeys feed and waiting for their early morning arrival is one of the most effective fall hunting strategies. Hunters who don’t know a flock’s whereabouts or the

daily route a flock takes between roosting and feeding areas must first locate some birds. Typically, that takes quite a bit of walking.   Find a flock of hens and young birds and intentionally scatter them, then call them back together using an old hen assembly call. This call is basically a long series of impassioned yelps.   Kentucky’s first fall turkey season was held during the 1997-98 license year. Hunters may take birds of either sex in the fall. Typically more hens are killed than gobblers. For example, during the 2008 fall season, hen turkeys made up 70.3 percent of the harvest.   The gradual increase in the percentage of adults in the fall harvest during the past decade is the most significant finding in the harvest data.   “There’s a higher proportion of adults in the population today, and hunters have become more selective (in what they harvest),” said Dobey.   For example, during the 2009 fall season hunters killed 5,751 turkeys, and 37.3 percent were adult birds.  The fall archery turkey season runs from Sept. 4, 2010 through Jan. 17, 2011, the same as archery deer season.   “In the fall a lot of turkeys are taken opportunistically by archers

hunting deer,” said Dobey. “It’s hard to pin down the number of archers just going after turkeys.”   Two shotgun seasons for turkeys are slated for this fall. The first early fall shotgun turkey season runs from Oct. 23-29, while the second runs from Dec. 4-10.  The season bag limit is four birds, but no more than two may be taken during archery season. Hunters may take two turkeys during shotgun season and only one turkey may have a beard length of three inches or longer. Only one turkey may be taken per day during fall turkey season.   Hunters bagged 6,589 birds during the 2004-05 fall turkey season, setting the fall harvest record.   “That year, we had a statewide mast failure,” said Dobey. “Turkeys were moving around a lot, looking for food and came in contact with hunters. That same year we had a record deer harvest.”   Kentucky possesses an estimated 250,000 turkeys. Flocks are well established in all 120 Kentucky counties.   Hunting opportunities abound for fall turkeys in Kentucky. Yet, Kentucky hunters take only about two percent of the available flock on average.   Looking for a hunting challenge this fall? Try wild turkeys.

The sights, sounds of Halloween unite at David T. Wilson By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

The sounds of ghouls, goblins and kid-friendly terror filled the hallways of David T. Wilson Elementary as kids and parents alike celebrated Halloween a few weeks early. The gathering last Friday featured ghost stories, Halloween crafts, games and a “Fear Factor” portion put on by the Meade County Public Library (MCPL). “We always try to make sure families have a lot of different ways to celebrate fall,” said Megan Stith, head of programming and children’s service at MCPL. Thomas Freese, a Kentucky author, was on hand to expand the children’s imagination by telling animated ghost stories. He used different voices, in-

struments and moved around the room to make the stories anything but boring. “Some story tellers use rockers,” Freese said. “I have to move around, make it physical and parallel it to real life … Kids have such great imaginations. The kids really get into the stories.” Freese is no stranger to performing in front of such a young crowd. Freese gathers his real-life ghost stories from meeting with people, recording their stories and scribing them into books. Some of the subject matters range from relatives visiting, trauma death, random sightings to fictional stories based off facts. If you’re interested in Freese’s books or stories, e-mail him at thomasfreese@bellsouth.net or visit his Web site at www.thomaslfreese.com.

Emily Lepley smiles as she tries on a firefighter’s head gear during Climb Aboard with Meade County last Saturday at Riverfront Park. By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Some young kids had a chance to play real life firefighters, policemen and emergency medical technician’s (EMT) during Meade County Public Library’s Climb Aboard last Saturday at Riverfront Park. Exhibits of machinery and vehicles lined the parking lot during the threehour event; giving children a chance to get a close-up look at different methods of transportation used by local departments everyday. Local community members taught students how to use items from their everyday

jobs. Safety tips and health information was presented to participants. The Meade County Health Department and Extension Office promoted “Second Sunday” at Climb Aboard by offering free tshirts and fitness activities. They also had participants fill out a survey about their daily exercise routine. Some of the businesses and organizations at the event included the Meade County Fire Protection District, Brandenburg Police, Meade County Sheriff, Meade County Ambulance, Citizens on Patrol, Meade County Health Department and the Meade County Board of Education.
