Fireworks shows begin tonight for Fourth of July By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
Millions of Americans will celebrate the great red, white and blue this weekend, with picnics and cookouts and, of course, fireworks. However, fireworks festivities lead to nearly 10,000 injuries nationwide each year, according to the Center of Disease Control, which is why Meade County Fire Protection District Chief Larry Naser said it’s important to always be cautious. Naser said the safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display such as those scheduled at Doe Valley, Fort Knox and Corydon, Ind. “Those displays are created by licensed commercial companies who are trained and well insured,” Naser said. He said firefighters are often on hand at the shows, for quick medical response in

A bald eagle perches in the highest branches of a tree early this spring in Battletown.
National symbol of freedom lives comfortably in tree tops of Meade Co. By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com

ven if the Second Continental Congress would have selected the wild turkey — which was strongly considered — over the bald eagle to be the bird depicted in the national emblem, it would still be a prospering resident of Meade County. America’s Founding Fathers selected the bald eagle because it, like the wild turkey, is unique to North America, according to Demetris Summers, faculty member at Morehead University’s Department of History. The bald eagle trumped the turkey, Summers said, because of the bald eagle’s “regal, powerful aesthetics.” “Benjamin Franklin and some others were big fans of the (wild turkey) being the national bird ... but in the end the bald eagle was the bird of the hour,” Summers said. The livelihood of the bald eagle has been tumultuous in America; in the late 1960s it was placed on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service endangered species list. Summers said pesticides — especially DDT — and hunters were the main human perils to the bird. In 2007, the bald eagle was removed
from the endangered species list, though hunting one for any means is still unlawful — even owning a bald eagle feather is illegal, according to Summers. Avian biologist Shawchyi Vorisek said the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife is tracking a pair of eagles that nest in Battletown — a prime spot since eagles prefer areas near large bodies of water like the Ohio River. “Over the winter, (Kentucky) is home to anywhere from 150 to over 300 wintering eagles throughout the state,” Vorisek said. “The winter numbers is dependent on the weather, if
bodies of water are frozen up north to where they can’t hunt for food, they will move further south in search of open waters.” The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife reports bald eagles have been sighted in 42 counties in Kentucky, and their numbers continue to prosper each year since its extinction scare decades ago. “They are a tenacious creature,” Summers said. “I think our Founding Fathers made a pretty good choice when they decided to make it America’s symbol ... they encompass ideas of strength and freedom.”

Setbacks sprouting with Meade Co. Farmers Market pavilion Katie, left, and Hannah Thomas tend their booth at the farmers market on Tuesday. THE NEWS STANDARD/ LAURA SAYLOR
Building may not be open this season as anticipated By Laura Saylor editor@thenewsstandard.com Since the county was first awarded funds for constructing a farmer’s market pavilion in January, some hoped to have the pavilion up and running
this season, but those hopes are now beginning to fade. The Meade County Farmer’s Market became incorporated in 2004 and has grown in popularity over the last few years. Presently, the market is held two days a week in the parking lot of the Meade County Extension Service office where vendors set up their produce booths under individuallyowned canopies.
In an effort to give the farmer’s market a more substantial home, members of the Meade County Extension District board drafted a proposal to construct a permanent open-air building on extension service property. The proposal describes the project as a 4,800-square-foot pavilion to be located on the extension office campus.

17th annual Threshing Days held this holiday weekend at new site Staff Report The News Standard
though due to the park’s closure in January, organizers had to quickly find a new venue, which was decided to be the fairgrounds. Last year, Pike said more than 200 tractors and an estimated 5,000 visitors attended the event, which is advertised in farm and ranch magazines across the country. Threshing Days is usually held the second weekend in July, though last year it was held over the Fourth of July weekend, and with its large crowds and overall overwhelming success, the holiday weekend was chosen again to be the date. Festivities begin at 9 a.m. today, Saturday and Sunday and continue throughout the day. A non-denominational church service will be held Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
Tractors of all shapes of sizes, as well as old-fashioned farming equipment, homemade crafts, tractor versatility courses, a flea market and other kinds of home-spun, traditional country fun will merge together this weekend at the Meade County Fairgrounds. The Lincoln Trail Antique Power Club will host its 17th Annual Threshing Days and Antique Power of the Past Machinery Show beginning today and continuing through Sunday. The event is organized locally by club president and Payneville resident Edd Pike and co-coordinator and Guston resident Alan Thomas. Typically Threshing Days is held at Otter Creek Park,

Meade County Breast Coalition members Fay Mattingly, Ruthie Fackler, Mildred Mattingly, Jettie Burnett and Bev Morrison participated in the Cancer Survivor Celebration in the Great Hall at My Old Kentucky Home State Park on Sunday, June 28. Cancer patients, survivors, their families, friends and health care professionals gathered to demonstrate that vibrant life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality. A special photo exhibit, “The Faces of Cancer,� was unveiled featuring approximately 15 survivors of various kinds of cancer from Meade, Hardin, Nelson, Breckinridge, LaRue, Marion, Washington and Grayson counties. The members decided to make a weekend of it by leaving a day earlier and touring Lincoln’s birthplace during the day on Saturday and going to the Steven Foster musical on Saturday night. On Sunday, members enjoyed music, refreshments, speakers, door prizes, free cancer survival kits and cancer resource booth exhibits. Their weekend culminated with a tour of My Old Kentucky Home. One of the survivors featured in “The Faces of Cancer� photo exhibit was Breast Cancer Coalition president, Fay Mattingly. Beside Fay’s picture is her information: Fay Ellen Dowell Mattingly, Meade

The News Standard - A3
Concerns with pavilion should have been sifted beforehand It’s hard to find a reason why the extension service’s farmers market pavilion — which will be used for more than just the farmers market — is a bad idea. Indubitably, it’s a wonderful idea, and one that should already be nearing fruition. A permanent open-air structure will surely be more enticing to both farmers market vendors and consumers, and can allow the extension office to stretch its arms a little by offering extra space to hold some of its multitude of programs. The extension district is a taxing district and it’s clear to see just how far our taxes go at the extension office. The parking lot is packed several nights a week with generations of residents taking advantage of the classes, services and training available there. The farmers market would be another example of tax dollars put to use to strengthen community ties — is there a more reputable way to spend taxes? Discussions of the building’s location, its shape and appearance and other relevancies are all pertinent and necessary for the district board to hash out — but those discussions should have been hashed out months ago, not now, when the building was anticipated to have already been completed. Residents living on county roadways have a right to be irked if their road remains pocked with potholes while the county road department is occupied leveling dirt at the site of the new pavilion — but promises are promises. If the judge/executive agreed, in writing, that the work will be done as an in-kind service then that statement should be backed; the breadth of the project should have been made clear before any such commitment was made. It’s pretty amazing how something as positive as funds granted to build a community building becomes gnarled into lagging complication and untimely dispute.
Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, Saturday we shopped at the farmer’s market and learned that the Meade County government has not fulfilled its commitment to provide site preparation for the planned farmers market pavilion. We understand that government budgets are tight but believe the Meade County government should honor its commitment to provide the site preparation as part of the grant to fund the much needed farmer’s market pavilion. In addition to supplying the produce, the farmers must also provide the shelter to sell their produce. This adds time and inconvenience to their efforts in a business that is already operating at low margins. We patronize the producers at the farmer’s market and believe the project is worthwhile and deserves funding and support by the Meade County Fiscal Court. Sincerely, Bob and Debby Qualls Brandenburg
Battery plant, sports races are economic incentives approved at special session Two weeks ago I called the Kentucky General Assembly into special session to deal with an ambitious agenda that required urgent action and bold leadership in the face of tumultuous global economic pressures. With the session over, it’s time for a frank assessment of both the positive developments and lingering disappointments of those eight days. First let me talk about significant accomplishments related to the budget, to jobs and economic development and to transportation. These accomplishments occurred because — for the third session in a row — legislators and I collaborated to put the people of Kentucky first. In essence, policy and problem-solving triumphed over partisan politics and historical rivalries. That alone is reason to celebrate. Now, what specifically did we accomplish? First, the legislature approved my plan to fill a projected billion-dollar hole in a $9 billion budget caused by depressed tax receipts. My plan did not raise taxes. Instead, it relied primarily on one-time use of federal stimulus funds and on cuts in spending — hundreds of millions of dollars of cuts on top of the $600 million we’ve cut in the past 18 months. These cuts, as I said, will be made carefully to preserve our top priorities — the SEEK formula that funds our K-12 classrooms, higher education, the Medicaid safety net, which in this economy is being used
by an increasing number of families who formerly eschewed public help; and key areas of public safety like police officers, prisons and prosecutors. And we wisely held back some stimulus funds to fill anticipated holes in the 2011 budget. Second, the legislature adopted my proposals for creating and retaining jobs by strengthening Kentucky’s attractiveness in a climate of intense competition and by nurturing our existing businesses. These included: •A long-overdue updating of our economic incentives toolbox. •Changes to attract a NASCAR Sprint Cup race, future Breeders’ Cup World Championships, historic preservation opportunities and the film and theater industry. •And a resolution needed for a proposed advanced battery manufacturing facility in Hardin County, a complex that could establish Kentucky as the epicenter of the car manufacturing world of the future. Our current incentives are outdated, complicated and inflexible. With this package we can be a national leader again. Third, we created a mechanism for funding megatransportation projects such as bridges linking Kentucky and Indiana in Louisville and Western Kentucky. This mechanism will create momentum on these projects while freeing up transportation financing for roads and other infrastructure around the state. Now, let’s talk about con-

Harvey’s message would lead to a ‘Good Day’ for America from what we hear throughout the commonwealth today from those who want to take from those who work hard to prosper and give it to those who think the world owes them. They should read Paul Batura’s “Good Day! The Paul Harvey Story.” The message comes through loud and clear: You won’t get ahead by pulling another man down. Or to put it in a contemporary context: “Mr. President, your statement during the presidential campaign to Joe the Plumber that ‘When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody’ is not good for anybody.” You’re not telling “The rest of the story.” America and its capital-

For the first time in his life, he began to feel sorry for himself — and jealous of a man he had never met.” His mother took him downtown and used $11.95 she had set aside to pay taxes to buy him a new pair. Harvey later told his former teacher Miss Harp of Longfellow Elementary School about his anger toward an oil baron he’d never met. Miss Harp’s response changed Harvey’s life: “Paul, never feel resentment in your heart for those who have more than you.

ist system work because it hinges on a strong belief in equality — not equality of wealth but of opportunity. Harvey learned this at an early age. While growing up in Tulsa during the Great Depression, he witnessed a great chasm between those like himself, who came from struggling families, and those who, because of the presence of big oil, became insulated from many of the day’s economic woes. Harvey tells about wearing one pair of trousers, which eventually became worn out and worn through. “Embarrassed, he walked sideways down Main Street and while doing so, spotted a chauffeur-driven automobile transporting one of the
his toes can reach for the stars.” Harvey’s voice boomed across America’s airwaves for more than four decades. Actor and comedian Danny Thomas described it as a voice in which “you can almost hear the amber waves of grain.” That voice — unmatched in texture — belonged to a man who added many chapters to the American story begun by our founders. And he did it without pulling anyone else down. Jim Waters is director of policy and communications for the Bluegrass Institute, Kentucky’s free-market think tank.

Causes From page A1
learn from this incident and take prudent and reasonable steps to prevent a similar occurrence,” Naser said. “The KSP accident report was reviewed by all members and the photos of the accident were examined.” Naser said based on the report, the photos and statements from the injured firefighters, the following items were identified as contributing factors of the accident: “the inertia of engine 42 as it came out of the curve on Brandenburg Road was in a straight line towards the bank; this inertia was carrying the vehicle; driver familiarity with the unit was a factor; po-
tential vehicle that stopped in the lane of travel of engine 42 requiring an evasive maneuver; possible variations in road curve due to modifications during construction.” Naser, Carter, Curl, Slinger and Roberts concluded that because the doors of the cab remained closed, all firefighters remained and seat belts, bunker coats and bunker pants helped reduce the amount of injuries firefighters sustained. It was also determined that the vehicle operator, Theresa Day, kept the vehicle under the posted speed limit. Naser cited the following policies that will be reinforced to firefighters: “seat belts shall be used on all MCFD vehicles anytime the vehicle is in motion — this is our policy; it is also state law; dressing in full personal protective equipment prior to boarding the
apparatus … and due regard for the safety of all using the roadway shall continue to be stressed when responding to alarms.” Naser, Carter, Curl, Slinger and Roberts are also enforcing new policies and modifying some old ones that will require all fire trucks and privately owned vehicles to use the left lane when driving on any multi-lane highway when responding to a code three emergency — or when sirens and lights are in use. An apparatus and resource staging policy was also implemented that will reduce on-scene clutter and congestion and “this will be presented to the County Fire Chiefs Association for consideration of adoption on a countywide basis,” Naser said. The district will modify its drivers training program to include a yearly insurance,
education and consulting service program incorporating the use of Kentucky Community and Technical College System driver’s simulator. The following statement will also be added into the apparatus operator policy: “Any apparatus operator involved in any motor vehicle accident on the highway or roadway shall be placed on administrative leave from driving district apparatus until that operator has completed a remedial driver/ operator program and is released by the training officer and chief to return to regular driving duty. “A review of the agreed insurance value for all MCFPD vehicles should be conducted at this time and increased values assigned to all vehicles.” Chairman Martin Bosemer asked the board for a motion to accept the report, which
was moved by vice chairman T. Parker, seconded by board member Dee Decker, and unanimously accepted. Bosemer said the district has applied for a grant in order to replace the damaged pumper truck. “The specifications that were put in on that grant were used as a basis to go out and see what it would cost us to replace that apparatus,” he said. “In addition, we asked the companies if they had a demo that’s available or some other options applicable to also provide those. We have … seven companies that have responded and some of them with up to three options.” Bosemer said those various apparatus options range in price from $185,000 to $500,000. “I think it’s upon us (the board) to take a look at what we’ve received, make sure
we all agree on the standards and the specifications for the replacement vehicle, and then we move forward and see what the options are with new vehicles or demo vehicle … that can be used,” Bosemer said. Bosemer said the district wants to ensure firefighters have all the essentials needed to do their job and is continuing to work hard on its goal of decreasing insurance rates for residents within the district, by having accident response times of less than eight minutes, a large number of firefighters respond, as well as a large number of firefighters who are state and internationally certified. The board unanimously voted to weigh and evaluate the options of purchasing a new apparatus and have a recommendation at the July meeting.

Fayette, Franklin, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Henry, Jefferson, Jessamine, Kenton, Oldham, Owen, Pendleton, Scott, Shelby, Trimble and Woodford. Meade County district forester Steve Gray said some of the purple traps were hung last year, though no beetles were found in Kentucky until recent weeks. “About 5,000 or 6,000 have been put up across the state this year,” Gray said. “The heaviest concentration was put in the northern counties,
especially ones that border the Ohio River.” Gray said the traps — which are purple to attract the beetles — are used to help researchers identify where the infestation begins. “(The traps) are not used as a prevention method, but as a way to slow down the invasion and help identify how big the infestation is,” Gray said. Areas under quarantine are limited in the ash products permitted to be shipped out of the location. The beetle can spread by moving in-
fested firewood, so several campsites and tourist destinations have erected signs prohibiting the use of out-ofstate timber and encouraging campers to burn all of their wood before leaving a site. The emerald ash borer beetle was first identified in Michigan in 2002, and is believed to have been transported there via cargo ships from Asia. Adult beetles are vibrant green and roughly one-half inch long. Mature borers feed on trees leaves while larvae
burrow into trees and feed on the bark, sabotaging the trees’ ability to transport water and nutrients to its canopy. Infected ash trees — the only type of tree the beetles attack — are identifiable by the D-shaped exit holes the insects leave on the trunk, according to the UK College of Agriculture. Anyone suspecting an infestation should contact the USDA Emerald Ash Borer Hotline at 866-322-4512 or the Office of the State Entomologist at 859-257-5838.

PINS pet adoption works at Orscheln Farms Submitted by Annette Hornsby PINS Public Relations Would you like a new puppy or kitten? Or perhaps an older cat or dog? For only $20 you can adopt a new pet. The $20 fee includes a free spay/neuter compliments of the Meade County Pets In Need Society (PINS). Every Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. you can choose your new pet at the Orscheln Farm and Home store in Radcliff. Orscheln is a modern farm store that opened in May, offering products for farm and home needs, including pet supplies. The store is located in the former Winn-Dixie building on East Lincoln Trail in Radcliff, behind the McDonald’s. Store manager Erich Sunde said the store wants
to be involved in supporting the local community. He asked one employee, Tori Snyder, to find a local organization for a partnership, and that eventually lead her to PINS. PINS members Connie Mullins and her sister, Shirley Haines, volunteered to lead the project. PINS donates the manpower to run the adoption center on Saturdays and Orscheln donates the space with necessary crates and fenced areas. Also, the Orscheln employees help with the process by setting up the display area, walking and watering dogs and helping with clean up. The store also sends each adoptee home with a leash, collar, food and toys. PINS gives each pet adoptee a certificate for a free spay/ neuter while the Meade County Animal Shelter provides a gift of Frontline,
Heartguard, and coupons. On June 20, five dogs and puppies found loving homes. This past weekend three lab puppies got new forever homes, along with a Chihuahua mix named Radar, a German shepherd mix pup, two adult cats and one kitten. In addition to the take home gifts, Sunde has a drawing for people who adopt a pet. This week Morgan Fuller won a pet basket valued at $100. Volunteers this week were PINS members Connie Mullins, Shirley Haines, Don Frenzl, Annette Hornsby and Laura Saylor. New members and volunteers are always welcome. To join PINS or to volunteer, call the PINS message center at 270-422-3838. To adopt a new pet today call Tom or Jason at the Meade County Animal Shelter at 270-422-2064.

He warned that Kentuckians who purchase their own fireworks should understand which are legal and illegal. “(Fireworks) like sparklers, smoke grenades, and showering cones — things that don’t leave the ground — are considered legal in the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” Naser said. Roman candles, Texas Twisters, rockets, and any other firework that would “produce a projectile, in other words anything that leaves the ground are considered illegal in Kentucky,” Naser said. “The biggest mistake

of any suggestion that her body is dirty or “wrong� or evil. Such an implication might raise a whole host of other problems for your child that could carry over into adolescence and even adulthood. QUESTION: My son is an outstanding gymnast. His high school coach says he has more natural ability than anyone he’s ever seen. Yet, when he is being judged in a competitive meet, he does terribly. Why does he fail during the most important moments? DR. DOBSON: If your son thinks of himself as a failure, his performance will probably match his low self-image when the chips are down. In the same way, there are many excellent golfers on the PGA Tour who make a satisfactory living in tournament play, but they never win. They may even place as high as second, third, sixth, or tenth. Whenever it looks like they might come in first, however, they “choke� at the last minute, and someone else wins. It is not that they want to fail; rather, they can’t conceive of themselves as winners, and their performance merely reflects this image. I once spoke with a con-
cert pianist of outstanding talent who has resolved never to play in public again. She knows she is blessed with remarkable talent but believes she is a loser in every other regard. Consequently, when she plays the piano on stage, her mistakes and errors creep into her performance. Each time this mortifying experience has occurred, she has become more convinced of her own unworthiness in every area. She has now withdrawn into the secluded, quiet, talentless world of have-nots. A person’s self-concept is instrumental in determining those who are “winners� and those who see themselves as “losers.� Professional tennis players call this characteristic “tournament toughness,� but it is really nothing more than confidence in action. Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 (www. family.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Solid Answers� and “Bringing Up Boys,� both published by Tyndale House.

Sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry but I don’t have the right to be cruel.

Lastly, you don’t learn anything by being kicked by a mule the second time. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.
“There is the Lamb of God!� (John 1:36) Are you a humble person? When given the chance, do you gladly defer to Jesus and let him shine, or do you feel tempted to share the spotlight? Humility may be scarce today, but it is a jewel in the crown of righteousness. It’s all about Jesus!

‘Sugar’ takes a swing at America’s pastime
Sugar/Starring Algenis Perez Soto/R
You’ve probably seen a few baseball movies. But you’ve never seen anything quite like “Sugar,” which depicts the journey of a young Dominican baseball pitcher whose killer curveball becomes his ticket to the United States — and a way to pull his family out of poverty. Sugar’s story is fictional, but it feels like a real slice of what life is like for many aspiring players in the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico or other places where Major League Baseball scouts and trains potential stars. When the likeable, softspoken Miguel “Sugar” Santos (a completely believable Algenis Perez Soto, making his acting debut) is chosen to play for a Class-A farm team in America, one of the bottom rungs on the Major League ladder, he becomes a wide-eyed stranger in a strange land of a foreign language, unfamiliar customs and palaces of consumerism. Based in Iowa and housed with an elderly, baseballloving farm couple, he develops a shy crush on their

Much of the movie’s Spanish dialog is subtitled, with the notable exception of one moment in one scene, when Anne asks Sugar about the scar on his head. As he falters to find the English words, she tells him it’s OK to speak in Spanish. He does so, and Anne’s expression indicates she’s clearly moved by what she’s hearing. We never find out what Sugar says, because there are no subtitles. Does Anne understand him, or is she connecting with Sugar on a level that transcends the spoken word? Perhaps she’s sacrificing her own ability to understand so that Sugar can express himself freely.
Regardless, it’s an intriguing moment, and “shutting out” the audience provides a glimpse into how it must feel to be someone, like Sugar, who faces a frustrating communications challenge at nearly every turn. The movie follows its own path, defying stereotypes and avoiding just about every sports-movie cliché and fish-out-of-water convention, all the way to the end. Even the things that don’t necessarily come as a surprise — a scuffle with locals at a nightclub, or the relationship between Sugar and Anne — don’t go where you expect them to go.

CD, BOOK, DVD NEW RELEASES
Saturday Morning Cartoons are back on DVD Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960, Vol. 1 (DVD) Children today don’t remember when Saturday mornings were blissful blocks of back-to-back cartoons, an oasis of merriment at the end of a week revolving around schoolwork and grownups. But baby boomers certainly recall it — and will love the fond memories sparked by this five-hour collection of 33 Saturdaymorning ‘toons, including “Top Cat,” “Quick Draw McGraw,” “The Jetsons,” “Secret Squirrel,” “Magilla Gorilla” and numerous lesser-known weekend characters, such as Marine Boy, Ricochet Rabbitt and Punkin’ Puss. The Garth Factor, by Patsi Bale Cox (Book) The unprecedented country music boom of the 1990s was largely the result of the impact of Garth Brooks, a transplanted Okie whose success in Nashville changed the game plan — and opened up
the playing field — for every record company in town. This solid exploration of his superstardom is also an insider’s glimpse into a music industry blissfully basking in Garth’s white-hot glow while wondering just how to capture his brand of lightning in a bottle. The Glorious Fourth of July, by Diane C. Arkins (Book) The red-white-and-blue spirit of Independence Day past is captured in this collection of retro fireworks packaging, posters, postcards, parade decorations and party favors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And if you’re itching to pitch a stars-andstripes party of your own, there’s also a roundup of vintage menu suggestions, games, poems and other suggestions for celebrating the Fourth of July with a festive, old-fashioned bang. Neil Pond is the entertainment writer for American Profile.

and petitions are all part of the rallies.
In the spirit of Independence Day, another round of “tea parties” are gearing up for the holiday weekend. Whether called Re-Independence Days or Freedom Rallies, seven events have been confirmed in Kentucky, thousands more across the country. April 15 — tax day — marked the last time the tea parties were held nationwide as a way for citizens to protest the federal stimulus plan and other “wasteful big government spending,” according to the national Web site, www. teapartypatriots.org. Louisville tea part organizers say this weekend’s rally will focus on new issues such as socialized healthcare, cap and trade and State sovereignty. Tea party organizers say the events are nonpartisan and family-oriented and attendees are encouraged to bring signs. Politicians and small business owners are featured speakers, and music

Mills said the board initially thought $25,000 - $30,000 of the district’s money would be invested in matching the funds and the rest would be matched through the value of the land and the estimated $20,000 in land work that board members were told would be performed free of cost by the Meade County Road Department. A letter dated Dec. 2, 2009 states “The Meade County Road Department will do the land preparation for you as an in-kind service,” and is signed by Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft. During the June extension board meeting, Craycroft was present and told board members the county would
no longer be able to provide land preparation services. Craycroft said when he initially told the board the county would move dirt for the project, he was under the impression it would be “some scraping and leveling, and about one or two days work.” After realizing how much dirt would have to be moved in order for the pavilion to be built, Craycroft said the county doesn’t have the necessary resources. “After they came back with the plans and I saw there was major dirt movement, we don’t have the equipment or the time to do it,” Craycroft said. “I’m all for the (pavilion) but it comes down to a matter of economics.” He said road projects like

In late January 2009, board members received word from the Governor’s Office of Agricultural Policy that the Meade County Extension Service had been awarded $53,098 in agricultural diversification funds to construct the farmer’s market building. The funds awarded by the state must be matched by the Meade County Extension Service, according to Andy Mills, county extension agent and advisor to the district board. The total project cost is listed as $116,313 in the proposal.
Saturday’s smoldering heat wasn’t enough to keep Battletown residents of all ages away from its annual park fundraiser, Battletown Blowout. The all-day event was packed full of fun for all from an auction, the “ugly girl contest,” a cake wheel and corn hole tournaments for adults to face painting, video games like guitar hero and Nintendo Wii, ring toss and tattoos for kids. All visitors paid an entry fee, and, according to Battletown native James Dials, all proceeds went to support maintenance on the park and playground and to pay utility bills.

Edd Pike, who serves on the Meade County Farmers Market board of directors and also helped co-write the proposal, said this news is a bit of a setback. “What’s important for people to understand is this isn’t just for the farmers market,” Pike said. “It’s primary use will be the farmers market but it’s a multipurpose pavilion that will be used for other extension office activities.”
Pike said the building will have rest rooms, sinks and other amenities. Also during the June meeting, extension district board member Tim Gossett questioned the location of the pavilion — initially planned to be to left of the entrance, several feet back from the Old Ekron Road walking trail — saying the building may not be aesthetically pleasing. He asked the board to consider building the pavilion somewhere else on the property. Pike said a key factor to growing the farmers market’s popularity with both consumers and producers is to have it visible from the

Pike said his concern is that if decisions aren’t soon made, the extension service could risk losing its $53,098 in state grant money. “We thought we would be close to completion right now,” Pike said. “If this next meeting is favorable we might still be able to have it open by the end of July.” The next Meade County Extension District Board meeting, which is open to the public, is scheduled for July 7 at 8 p.m. at the extension office.

The little single-story white frame home doesn’t look like a place containing anything of interest. Tucked away behind overgrown greenery on a tiny lot, one has to look hard to see a huge stack of driftwood on the front porch. What at first appears to be a single-car garage at the rear of the Elm Street residence is in dire need of paint and general repair. The owner, a bespectacled, middle-aged, reddish-haired man appears to be no more remarkable than his humble home as he sorts through the driftwood, carefully evaluating each piece. For all except a very few locals and a select number of individuals from the world of Hollywood entertainment, finance and politics at the highest level, it’s a very misleading scene. The soft-spoken life-long Ravenna, Ky., resident may be one of Kentucky’s most talented and best-kept-secrets. He’s never sought publicity and has always downplayed his abilities as a person with the skill to bring a piece of wood to life. About a dozen carvings of waterfowl, birds that appear to be in flight, and larger animals sit on mantels and tables in his den, the colorful, first-rate artistry contrasting sharply with brownish shag carpeting. The 53-year-old was a carpenter doing carving as a hobby when events unfolded leading to statewide recognition of his talents in the early 1980s. As First Lady of Kentucky, Phyllis George Brown helped developed the Kentucky Arts program, bringing Kentuckians like
him an opportunity for widespread recognition. He had enjoyed limited success selling his work in Berea, Ky., but got his first big break when invited to set up his wares during a showcase at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. “They gave me a space at the front door and I sold nearly everything I took up there,” he said. Among the buyers there and at other shows were such notables as country singer Kenny Rogers, Larry Hagman of the “Dallas” TV series and former Texas billionaire Nelson Bunker Hunt. Inside a scrapbook of clippings, Hall has personally-written notes from Rogers and Hagman, thanking him for the pieces displayed in their homes and praising his talents. The most unusual is a letter of apology from Hunt, written in 1988. He had filed for bankruptcy after losing his fortune when the bottom suddenly dropped out of the silver market. After briefly being one of the world’s richest men, he was explaining his troubles to Hall and letting him know he would not to be able to pay for a carving he had special ordered. Also among his collection is a photo of him and wife Joyce, a hairdresser, taken with a smiling Laura Bush just prior to a dinner at the White House. He was being honored for having one of his carvings selected for display on the White House Christmas tree. “I called it the Hillbillies Do Washington Tour,” he said. Told that he should feel honored because not many people have accomplished
Sunset Jazz Spicy Spareribs
Like many Americans, my first visit to the Caribbean was part of a cruise I took with my husband, Michael, and some friends. I loved the beauty of the islands and the wonderful food. While my husband and our friends swam, went snorkeling and bought souvenirs, I talked with local cooks, purchased specialty spices and sauces, and increased the Caribbean recipe section of my abundant cookbook collection. My idea of a perfect vacation is discovering new historical sites, culinary facts, delicious recipes and finding out-of-the-way restaurants — all while enjoying the scenery, the ocean and the beaches. Recently, I was invited to the U.S. Virgin Islands to film episodes of “The Kitchen Diva!” cooking show. I visited St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John as the guest of local public television station WTJX. This succulent recipe for oven-baked ribs is my tribute to St. Croix’s Blue
Moon Cafe’s barbequed ribs. It’s one of my favorite ways to prepare pork ribs to ensure they’ll be tender but full of spicy flavor. The brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and pineapple give the meat a tangy, delicious taste, and the ginger and hot sauce add just the right touch of spiciness. Frequent basting keeps the meat moist and tender. Sunset Jazz Spicy Spareribs 2 pound slab St. Louisstyle pork ribs 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup white vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 (14-ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
Cut the slab into individual ribs and put the pieces in a large pot. Cover the ribs with water and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain off the water and put the ribs in a baking pan. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, pepper, paprika and ginger. Bring to a boil. Add the pineapple with juice. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Tabasco sauce. You may want to add more brown sugar if you like a sweeter sauce, or more Tabasco sauce if you prefer a spicier version. Brush each rib with the sauce. Heat the broiler and broil about 10 minutes on each side or until done, basting often. Serves four.

Benham’s Highlift takes customer service to a new level By Lindsey Corley lindsey@thenewsstandard.com
Paul Benham of Benham’s Highlift and Trucking wants his potential customers to know one thing — the customer is king. Benham’s excavating business began nearly 18 years ago, the idea of his brother, Barry, who started the business after gaining experience working with different companies in the area. Benham joined him two years later and the two worked together, including digging basements and doing ground-work for years in Doe Valley subdivision, until Barry’s death four years ago. “We started back when the economy was good,” he said. “Everything was booming. Everybody was moving in. We dug a lot of basements.” Lately, though, the economy has put the kibosh on new home developments, and Benham said he hasn’t have, whether it be to dig worked in Doe Valley for a basements, dig ponds, grade driveways or while. Mostly, yards, clean he said, he’s up brush been workpiles or old ing outside, trailers, fill in not only in sinkholes, dig Meade Counwater lines ty, but also or culverts in Breckinor haul rock. ridge, Hardin and Grayson — Paul Benham, And that’s just a samcounties, and owner ple of what even across Benham can the Ohio Rivdo and what er in Harrison County, Ind.

ever, Benham had to virtually start over with the business. Though the two had started out with just a 931 Caterpillar Highlift and a couple of single-axle trucks, they had grown and gotten more equipment, but most of Barry’s inventory was sold in auction four years ago. Benham got a truck, trailer and highlift and started out on his own. Since then, Benham said work has been good, though it’s started to slow down for him. Usually his busy season is during the spring and fall, and though he’s seen natu-
ral ups and downs in business in 18 years, he said he knows that “work comes.” And it comes because of his reputation in the county where he was born and raised. “I get more jobs by word of mouth,” he said, of how he gets his customer base. He said, for example, if he does a good job for one home in a neighborhood, word spreads that he’s efficient and fair and, likely, he’ll get more jobs from that. And it’s not just the small jobs he’s equipped to work, either. He’s done large jobs,
like working on highways and roads. For Benham, the best part of his job is meeting his customers and working outside, in what he calls “God’s country.” He said he’s seen parts of the county and the area that no one has ever seen. As for customers, his No. 1 rule is to treat people honestly and fairly. “I always try to make my people happy,” he said. “If they got a problem, all they have to do is call me.” He said he and his brother thrived on always going back to their customers if

there was ever a problem. “The only way to make a name is to treat people right,” he said. He said customers can expect a precise invoice of what everything costs and he is always willing to go over the details. He also said he knows, from time to time, customers may get into a situation where a job needs to be done and it can’t be paid for immediately, and he said he’s willing to work with those people, too, to fill their needs. “You never pay a guy until you’re happy,” he said. “I always wait until I get the job done.” He said, that way, customers are sure to get what they want while he’s there and working on the property. Benham said he’s seen other companies require payment up front and then never call back if a customer has a problem once the job is complete, and it costs the company in repeat business, something Benham is proud to say he has — customers who come back again and again. “Doing good work and being honest with them,” Benham said, that’s what keeps people coming back to him. “Being friends with them.” Benham’s Highlift and Trucking is located at 2910 Old Mill Rd., off Hwy. 1638.

They learn all the maintenance of it.” Additionally, campers also enjoy horse theory sessions during which they ask their instructors questions and request to learn other skills, such as braiding a mane or wrapping a leg. Outside the arena, equestrian campers mingle with the traditional campers and
enjoy swimming and bunking up with their cabin mates. Since summer camp season began, Skirtich said Camp Piomingo has averaged more than 150 campers each week and 65 staff members including counselors, instructors, cooks and lifeguards. The equestrian camp offers a counselor training
program, Skirtich said, that helps initiate leadership, safety and teaching skills to older campers who show an interest in eventually becoming a staff member. “Some campers come back year after year after year, and when they’ve reached the age limit (to be a camper) they want to come back and be one of our instructors,”
The Meade County FFA has celebrated a year of success. The county banquet was held April 16 at the Meade County High School Auditorium.

Campers are talking the talk and trotting the trot at Camp Piomingo’s annual equestrian summer camp. Boys and girls ages six through 16 have traveled from as far as California to participate in the riding program held at the camp, which is nestled inside Otter Creek Park in Meade County. Since 1938, Camp Piomingo has operated under the YMCA of Greater Louisville, and its equestrian camp — which runs from June 7 through July 31 — has been one of its biggest draws. “We really work on having fun, and teaching campers what they need to know to advance to the next step of riding,” said Whitney Skirtich, equestrian director at Camp Piomingo. “We get kids that have never been on a horse before and some that take weekly riding lessons.” Campers can sign up for one- or two-week-long sessions in both the equestrian camp and the traditional camp, which offers mountain biking, rock climbing, archery, canoeing and other summer camp activities. Equestrian campers are permitted to bring their own horses, though typically they are assigned one of the camp’s 22 horses that Skirtich cares for during the off season. “We do a lunge line evaluation to see what each of their riding abilities are, then group the campers together,” Skirtich said. “Each group rides every day, working on walking, trotting, cantering and some jumping.” Skirtich said the riding style is mainly English, though participants enjoy some trail riding as well. New to the agenda is an overnight camp out, where campers trek into the wilderness on horseback and sleep overnight, then ride back into camp in the morning. “Last year I was part of the guinea pig group ... and we

The summer is time for fun and relaxation, but it also has become a season of work for the Lady Waves basketball team. With dead period under way — a two-week break where no athletic activities can be scheduled — at the end of last week, the basketball team finished its productive summer training and workouts with scrimmages at Bullitt East High School. “This summer has prob-
ably been one of the best summers I’ve had coaching,” said 10-years Lady Waves head coach Josh Hurt. “This is probably been one of our most productive summers ever.” The varsity team has posted a 16-7 record during the summer season, with most of their losses to high caliber teams, according to Hurt. “All the losses have been against teams that could be in the state tournament,” he said. “We try to keep it light-hearted off the court, but once we tip it up we’re

At the time of his lone victory, he was at Hendrick Motorsports. Vickers has remained patient at Team Red Bull, a new entry at the time he signed up, as its performance has gradually improved. “I think we’re making gains,� said Vickers. “We’ve been making gains all year. We’ve been making gains since this team was founded. There are times when we’ve made huge gains and times when the gains have been slow. There have been times when we’ve taken a few steps back, but for the most part we’ve always taken more steps forward. “We’ve come so far in such a short amount of years, and hopefully, we can keep going.� Vickers offered a staunch defense of Toyota’s rightful place in NASCAR. “Personally, I didn’t grow up in the Detroit genera-

improved it to challenge everybody. It’s still safe for the beginners, while challenging skilled riders.” Howlett, along with his friend Jimmie Brooks, made the track longer with more jumps and turns. The track now is 8/10 of a mile long, offering a challenging yet enjoyable ride for dirt bikes and four-wheeler riders. They also have opened the track to more races and practice dates throughout the summer. Appeasing both dirt bike and four-wheeler riders was a task Howlett and Brooks met head on. “We just tried to get (the track) better and get more people out here racing,” Brooks said. “Motocross is hard because you have to please both the bikes and the four-wheelers. They like completely different things.” Dirt bike riders are more apt to technical courses with jumps and rhythm, while four-wheelers like a flatter track with smooth banked turns, according to Brooks “Four-wheelers don’t like ruts, but bike guys love the ruts, they prefer it,” he said. “Four-wheelers want to drift around turns and not get stuck in the ruts.” But the two feel they’ve found common ground for both types of riders. “We have more fourwheelers than any local track I know,” Howlett said. “That’s not normal. That says a lot for the diversity of this track. You have to have the equipment to do it. We have some good equipment this year and a lot of people are helping us out.” Taking care of the track has become a daunting task for the duo. It can soak up close to 20,000 gallons of water during a race day and takes all night and morning to prepare for a long day of competition. The night before a race, the two will drag the track
with a tractor to break up the dirt and then water it. In the morning, they will till the track again, making it race ready until the late morning. Around noon, they go over the track again for the final races of the day. “If you water it down and the sun and wind starts blowing, the track will dry right back up,” Brooks said. “The wind is actually worse than the sun. It will dry up the track real quick. The only thing is if you go over the track with the tractor it will bring up that moisture again.” All of Brooks’ and Howlett’s labor has been met with good response from riders who enjoy the new track and layout. Seventeen-yearold David Mings of Meade County says it’s the second best track he’s ever been on. “This is a pretty good track right here,” Mings said, who has been riding competitively for four years. “They keep it well maintained. There’s still more room to make it better, but it’s a challenging track.” With the improvements, Howlett has noticed an increase in riders and spectators this year. One of the most important changes Howlett wanted to make was an infield viewing area where fans could retreat under the shade of trees during hot summer days. “We wanted to get people to watch down in the shade,” Howlett said. “The infield was the best place to do this. So far people really like that.” The track upgrades have brought crowds in droves. With three races held so far, Howlett has seen the group of riders increased to 130 participants per race. Up to 75 racers have participated in practice days during the non-race weekends. “It seems like every race it keeps building up and building up,” he said. “It seems like I have one crowd one week and another crowd another week. But really every day we get new people coming out and riding.”
With those kinds of numbers, people feel the track helps the local economy. “It’s really good to have a track around here,” said 16-year-old dirt bike rider Travis Hardcastle, of Brandenburg. “You talk to people and they are going to McDonald’s or getting parts (for their bikes) here in Meade County. It helps the whole community.” Brooks feels the track has its pros and cons. “Being here has been a blessing and a curse,” he said. “Because it’s on the fairgrounds people think it’s fair track. Most people won’t race fair tracks.” Although the track is considered to be shorter than most at 4/5 of a mile, it’s still roomy and has exciting elements such as a backside double and two tabletop jumps. “A lot of people will think it’s a fair track, but it’s not,” Howlett added. “A fair track is when they go up into an arena and build a small track there. Fair tracks are really small. This is a good size track. I don’t want people to think this is just a fair track.” With all the talk about fairs both Howlett and Brooks look forward to the Meade County Fair when the next event will take place. “That’s a big race,” Howlett said of the motocross race on July 19. “I’m trying to get a purse built up for those for the pros. I’m hoping for maybe 200 (riders) during that weekend.” With those kinds of numbers rolling in, the work has all been worth it. “I enjoy it,” Howlett said who has children who ride in motocross. “I really do, this is something my entire family enjoys.” The Meade County Fair Motocross starts at noon on July 19. The track will be open for practice on July 18 for $20.

Court From page B1 ready to play.” The team’s productivity has a lot to do with the returning incumbent senior class. Without losing a player who saw playing time last year, the team returns five seniors: point guard Caroline Wilson, guard Mallory Wathen, center Bliss Powers, forward Alexa Adams and guard Paige Long. “They are fifth-year seniors in a lot of ways.” Hurt said. “They have all been here before. I have to give my seniors credit. They come every day with enthusiasm. Sometimes summers can be a task, but not with these girls.” The team also picked up a new, but old, player — senior forward Carly Evans. Evans took last year off and joined the track team this past spring where she was a state finalist in the long and triple jumps. This year she has returned to the court with a vengeance. “It’s really good to get back out onto the court,” Evans said. “I think I’m a hundred times better than I’ve ever been. I’m more relaxed and having fun with it. I’m just enjoying the summer.” Her athleticism and powerful jumping skills improved an already potent frontcourt featuring senior Bliss Powers and junior Scarlett Powers, who both measure over six feet tall. “Scarlett and Bliss have been playing well,” Hurt said, “and then Carly Evans has stepped and has already made an impact.” Younger players have stepped it up too this summer. One player who has improved tremendously is junior Tiffany Brown. Brown also runs cross country and track, while competing as one of the best hurdlers in the state. “Tiffany Brown has had a really good summer,” Hurt said. “I’ve been impressed with her. She’s quick as a cat. Obviously, if you’re going to be a state contender at the hurdles you’re an athlete. What she’s been working on is decision-making and handling the ball. But the three-sport athlete knows all too well the rigors of an off-season and the fact that she never gets to rest between seasons. “I never feel like I get a break,” she said. “My game has really improved. I just have to make sure to keep playing (basketball) through cross country season so I don’t lose anything I learned this summer.” Hurt also is impressed with the freshmen and sophomore classes, one of
the standouts being sophomore LeAnna Luney “When you talk about improvement, (Luney) is head and shoulders from what she was last year. That’s what’s exciting about the summer is seeing these kids grow.” The downside to off-season workouts is injuries. Although the team has gone through this summer relatively unscathed, Adams sprained her ankle three weeks ago. “The big key to summer ball is staying healthy,” Hurt said. “You want to get through the summer avoiding any big injuries. You want to keep people rested and play a lot of players. We try to keep her healthy.” Summer is always a time for immense improvements, but in a laidback environment, player bonds also strengthen. One of the most instrumental parts to the teams’ bond is camps. This year the team went to Western Kentucky University for four days to compete. Hurt took players from seventh through 12th grade. “It was a great time for the kids to get to know each other,” he said. “It was a great time for us to get to know each other. You get to know them on a personal level, eat meals with them. You know that kid ‘X’ is a point guard, now you get to know that kid ‘X’ likes country music.” In addition to the laidback times of the summer months, the off-season is also a time for evaluation and preparation. “It’s a great time to evaluate and get an idea of what you want to work on in October when the season starts,” Hurt said. “When we step on the floor we want to keep it serious. We’re a lot more free with our substitutions and we try to keep it simple.” With summer being a busy time for most of his players, finding interchangeable lineups is part of the challenge for Hurt. “It’s a great time to mix and match lineups,” he said. “In the summer, you’re going to have kids doing other things like a softball tournament or are out playing basketball or on vacation. So you end up throwing different lineups out there and you see different kids play.” In the heart of the dead period, the Lady Waves can now rest for the upcoming season, which has high expectations. “I think we’re all bonding,” Evans said. “This is our last year and we want to end our career the best we can. We’re just a bunch of girls that go out there and have fun. I think our relationship is stronger than it’s ever been. I think we can take it all the way this year. I think we can take it to state.”

FRANKFORT — Kentucky State Parks will observe Play Golf America Month in July with a special promotion aimed at young golfers. From July 6th through the 31st, any player 18 or under may play a free round (cart not included) at any Kentucky State Park golf course when accompanied by a paying adult. The free play applies at all 19 state park courses. Also, juniors will be able to hit balls free on the driving range when an adult purchases range balls. “July is family golf month with the PGA of America. We are happy to participate in this promotion encouraging families to get out and enjoy fun filled times with their kids at our state parks,” said Dan Strohmeier, the Department of Park’s PGA Director of Golf. “As golf professionals we must continue to find ways to introduce young persons to golf and grow the game. We have so many outstanding
courses located at wonderful state parks where the entire family can get involved with various activities.” Several golf courses operated by the Kentucky State Parks have recently received recognition from Golf Digest and Golfweek magazines. The course at Mineral Mound State Park located near Eddyville in western Kentucky was ranked No. 5 in the state in the “Best Courses You Can Play” public-access category by Golfweek Magazine. Eagle Ridge Golf Course at Yatesville Lake State Park, located in eastern Kentucky, and Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park , located in south central Kentucky were ranked #6 and #9 as “Best In State” by Golf Digest Magazine. In addition, Wasioto Winds Golf Course at Pine Mountain State Resort Park in Pineville, My Old Kentucky Home State Park at Bardstown and Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park at Burkesville were rated four stars by Golf Digest for “Best Places to

YOUTH Foreign exchange students seek host families in Meade Co.
Friday, July 3, 2009
B8 - The News Standard
Submitted by Brian MarGrave STS Foundation In an effort to raise cultural awareness and understanding in Brandenburg, we would like to invite families to host an international exchange student this August. Host families provide room and board, a safe nurturing environment and have a genuine interest in learning about a different culture. Students range in age from 15 to 18 years old. Students will have all of the money they could possibly need and their own health insurance. The school that the students will attend is dictated by the host family’s home address. We interview the families in their home to find the best match for the students that we have available, and we invite families of all shapes and sizes to host. We welcome empty-nesters, single parents, newlyweds, retired parents, families with several kids at home or none. The matches are made according to personality, background, family structure, hobbies, interests, talents, affinity
with animals and or pets, allergies, religion, academic interests, sports interests, maturity level, level of independence, musical interests and playing instruments. A student’s lifestyle may be better suited for an “outdoors” family that rides four-wheelers, likes to hike, camp and fish, lives on a farm, and enjoys horseback riding or a student may be better suited for a family that enjoys primarily indoor activities such as playing cards, reading, playing music, watching movies, playing video games, board games or cooking. We connect them on as many levels as we possibly can. Children of families that host will receive a scholarship to study abroad. The students will attend public high school for one academic year, which begins this August. The STS Foundation is a not-for-profit organization designated by the Department of State, a member of CSIET and has been raising cultural awareness through cultural exchange since 1986. For more information please call Brian MarGrave: 800-522-4678 or via e-mail at brian@stsfoundation.org
Borui Zhang
Johanna Mayer
Justus Eckardt
Nannapat Hirunwong
My name is Borui. I was born in China in 1993. I have a strong command of the English language and am extremely fluent. My mom is in administration and my dad is a salesman. I don’t have any brothers or sisters. I am crazy about basketball! I am the captain of my high school team and am a really good at this sport. I am at the highest level of play without being professional. My basketball team won the championship title last year. I love watching NBA games. My favorite player is Allen Iverson. I am learning to play guitar and I play the piano. I really love to cook and I can teach you to make some different Chinese dishes. I can’t wait to tell you all about my culture and learn about yours. I have so much to tell you and not enough space ... LOL.
My name is Johanna. I was born in Sweden in March of 1992. I am a Protestant and I would attend church with my host family. My father is retired and my mother is an opera singer. I don’t have any brothers or sisters. I have had seven years of English and three years of German. My three passions are riding horses and Salsa dancing and big families. My parents divorced when I was very young. I have lived alone with my dad for all of my life. My dad is 65 years old and worked as a head chef in a restaurant ... so there is always good cooking and amazing meals at our house. We have a dog, two cats and two rabbits. When I have a family of my own I would like to live on a huge farm with horses. I have some chores at home ... nobody has to tell me to do them, I just do. I do dishes and clean and whatever else.
My name is Justus. I was born in Germany in 1994. I am a Protestant and would happily go to church with my host family. My dad is an insurance broker and my mom worked as tax accountant but now she is able to do the things she loves and not work at all ... except taking care of my dad, brother and me. I have had five years of English and six years of French. I enjoy playing golf, playing the piano, reading, swimming and riding my bike. Another hobby of mine is video games. My favorite subjects are English, science, math and music. I sometimes cook the meals at home for my family. My favorite meals to cook are Schnitzel and Kartoffelpuffer. I love animals and would love it if my host family had dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies or any kind of pets really.
My name is Nannapat. I was born in Thailand in January of 1993. I am 5’3” and 108 lbs. I have had seven years of English. I don’t have any brothers or sisters. I play on my high school basketball team and I have practice for three hours twice a week and have matches on the weekends. I collect stamps and love to listen to music. I am a very disciplined student and have remarkable grades. I clean my room every day and keep the house tidy. I don’t have any pets at home but I think it would be nice if my host family did. I love to read detective novels and comic books. I also enjoy trekking and rafting and doing some mountain climbing.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was comedian and TV host Jay Leno who made the following sage observation: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak." •Those who keep track of such things say that the most popular name for pet pythons is, perhaps unsurprisingly, "Monty." •Fashion historians claim that England's Queen Elizabeth I owned 3,000 of the elaborate dresses popular during her time.

A live hand grenade, as it turned out. He popped his own top as well, dying in the incident. There's no word at hand to explain how he got the grenade to begin with.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don't be surprised if, in spite of your wellmade plans, something goes awry. But don't worry. Your knowledge of the facts plus your Arian charm will help you work it out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A personal relationship seems to be demanding more than you feel you're able to give. Best advice: Confront the issue. You could find the situation surprisingly easy to work through. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your self-imposed deadline. This is important if you really feel that taking more time to finish a project could save time in the long run. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you? Find out before you consider a change of plans. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Someone might be overriding your Leonine logic to get you to agree to "favors" you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you've been asked to do and see if you've been misled. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Try to keep that emerging "judgmental" aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate isn't easy. But ignoring them isn't wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you've taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It's not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new friend offers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the "revelation." But as you come to appreciate the truth, you'll be able to also come to terms with your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of travel helps you appreciate the wonders of the world. You would find a satisfying career in any travelrelated industry.

Busy July Fourth brings boating hazards Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — More boaters will be on Kentucky waters during the upcoming July Fourth holiday weekend than at any other time of year. Families will head to the water to fish, tube, water ski and enjoy a long weekend away from work. Boats full of vacationing friends will navigate crowded waters to find the best spot to watch fireworks. In the midst of all this fun and festivity, it’s easy to forget that the Independence Day holiday is often the year’s busiest and most congested weekend on the water. “The one thing that we notice about the July Fourth weekend when we go back and look at the boating accident, injury and fatality data is that we seem to have more incidents during that weekend than either Memorial Day or Labor Day,” said Sgt. John Anderson, boating education coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. That statistic isn’t meant to scare boaters away. But it should convince anyone who steps into a boat to be extra careful during the busy holiday weekend. Crowded lakes and rivers demand careful navigation from boaters, particularly around crowded fireworks viewing areas. “More people on the water makes for more congested waterways,” said Capt. Mike Fields, boating law administrator for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “More congested waterways can make for more close calls and more incidents.” Boat operators should drive slowly in crowded areas, and scan the water carefully for swimmers, tubers, skiers and personal watercraft operators. “If I could only say two things to the boating public that I knew would

Indoor Swimming Pool The Ohio River will be busy with boaters during the 4th of July weekend. make a difference, the first thing I’d say is wear your life preserver,” said Anderson. “Ninety percent of those who die on the water would have lived if they’d been wearing a life jacket. It’s the best insurance policy you can have.” Life jackets are required for boaters under 12 years old when in the open part of a boat that is underway. Additionally, a life jacket must be readily available to each passenger in the boat. “The second thing I’d tell the boating public is to take a boating education class,” Anderson added. “People who have completed a boater education class are 70 percent less likely to be involved in a serious boating accident.” The classes are available free of charge throughout Kentucky, or they may be taken online for a fee. Boater education is required for youth ages 12-17 who are operating a boat with a motor of 10 horsepower or more. For complete information on boater education and to check the schedule of courses, visit Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Web site at fw.ky.gov. “If you’re going to attend fireworks displays in your boat, make sure your
running lights are working,” added Fields. “Especially after dark, we encourage everyone to wear their life jackets. Should something happen to you, finding your life jacket in the dark would be nearly impossible.” Kentucky conservation officers will be out in full force during the holiday weekend. “Officers will be on the lookout for impaired or reckless boaters,” said Anderson. “We’ll be working with other state and local law enforcement agencies around the water, to stop impaired boaters who may try to make it to their vehicles and drive.” Boating under the influence is a serious problem in Kentucky. About half of the boating fatalities in this state happen because of alcohol use, which is more than double the national average. It is against the law for boaters, whether operators or passengers, to consume alcohol while on the water. “Our goal is to have everyone come and have a good time, and leave with good stories,” said Anderson. “We don’t want their stories to be stories of tragedy or heartache.”
