Luck was a lady last Tuesday night for one Meade County resident, who cashed in on a $430,000 3 Line Lotto ticket.

Howard said the store sold a $2,000 3 Line Lotto ticket two weeks ago. Donna Fraley, who’s worked at the store for nearly two years, was the cashier who sold the winning ticket. “I was surprised when I found out I was the one that gave it,” she said. “It just looked like another lottery ticket.” During the special event, the Howards distributed $1 lottery tickets to all those in attendance, and celebrated with balloons, cake and ice cream.

Revised plan focuses on individual child learning By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com
The Meade County Board of Education recently approved its 2009-10 district comprehensive improvement plan, which included establishing professional learning communities (PLCs) in every Meade County school. During the board’s July 14 meeting, student services director Amy Berry presented the district comprehensive improvement plan to the board before receiving prior approval to submit the plan to the Kentucky Department of Education. “We needed to … do some revision to the plan so that it showed what the focus is that our district is using,” she said. “Our goal for the year is to use a variety of assessment data to focus on individual student learning.” The 20-page document showed assessment data the district received from the state to support its goal.

Online auction to benefit wildlife at local sanctuary Submitted by Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary’s Summer Online Charity Auction is currently running through July 29. All funds raised in this auction will go toward getting Broadbent’s rescue vehicles back on the road across the state of Kentucky. Recent economic conditions have caused Broadbent to make the difficult decision to suspend its “ambulance” service across the state, and until the situation improves, Good Samaritans
Learning From page A1 Objectives to measure the success of the goal were the second keynote in the improvement plan. “There are four categories,” Berry said. “The first category is instruction and we are going to work on a writing curriculum and providing good quality assessment to drive our instruction.” The second category is to establish PLCs in all schools “to interpret content standards, pace instruction, create common formative assessments and analyze data in order to impact student achievement,” the plan states. PLCs is a nationally recognized learning program and has already proven successful at Stuart Pepper Middle School and Meade County High School. “Then the third main area involves Kentucky System of Intervention where we provide systematic intervention and enrichment for students who need it during the portion of the school day,” she said. The fourth category in-
are being asked to transport animals to drop-off points. Funds are desperately needed to insure that Broadbent staff is able to reach every animal in need.

There’s something for everyone in this auction — from beach front vacations, to one-of-a-kind adventures, to fabulous jewelry, designer watches and
sunglasses, artwork, sports items and even collectible Barbies. Buy something for yourself, or get a jump on your holiday shopping. This is a great chance to get incredible deals and feel good about shopping. It’s not too late to donate an item or sponsor this event. All sponsors that sign on for the Summer Auction will also be featured as a sponsor in the Holiday Auction in November.

cluded programs and services provided to students to eliminate barriers in learning, such as special education, food services, technology and the gifted and talented program. The plan also included a break down of strategies and activities the district will implement to meet the four goals, what the perspective impact for each activity will be, who’s responsible for each activity and where the funds for each activity will come from. “The plan will also be online … and for the next two weeks, we’ll have a copy available in the office for public review,” Berry said. A motion to approve the improvement plan for the 2009-10 school year was made by Eugene Sheeran, seconded by Belinda Cross and approved unanimously. During a review of the monthly financial report, Susan Fackler, the district finance officer, reported that the general fund balance for June is $1.9 million and disbursements were about $5.5 million, resulting in a decrease in balance of $3.5 million. In comparing June ‘08 to June ‘09, Fackler said the total receipts for the year were nearly the same.
“If you look at the ending balance we’re pretty much dead even to where we were last year and that’s including the cost of Flaherty (Primary construction project),” she said. Fackler said despite a lack in grant monies, overall the district is “doing better than we were at this time last year.” The board also approved a vendor change for the current Flaherty Primary school construction project. Rodney Pickering, director of building and grounds, explained to the board the need for a change order approval. “We’re changing from Liters, Inc. to Vulcan Materials,” he said. “One of the subcontractors left out one of the rock bids and in that process they are going to purchase more material and they can get it cheaper through Vulcan and switch to another subcontractor to supply that.” The motion was made by Cross to approve the changes made to the construction funds, seconded by Sheeran and unanimously approved by the board.

About Broadbent Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 nonprofit or-
ganization that cares for 3,000 sick, injured and orphaned wild and exotic animals each year. Specially-trained staff provide loving care, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

grams that teach children and adults how to help native wildlife survive and to respect all animals. In addition to ongoing efforts to protect Kentucky’s precious wildlife habitat for future generations, a project is now underway to make Broadbent Wildlife Sanctuary more self-sustainable by growing crops to feed the wildlife at the sanctuarys For help or info on injured wildlife, or to make a tax-deductible donation, contact 270-547-4200 or visit www.broadbentwildlife.org.

The board also unanimously approved the following agenda items: •School meal prices will remain the same: student breakfast — not free or reduced — is $1.25 and lunch is $1.75, and for staff breakfast $1.85 and lunch is $2.75. “Even though we’ve kind of battled with the cost of food prices going up … we’ve tried to keep it as low as we can.” •Immunization services from the Lincoln Trail Health Department — a service the district seeks yearly. •Contracts for outside sources with Elizabeth Wright, physical therapy;
Lorinda Jones and Associates, music therapy; Tammy Hayes, speech; Michael Williams, orientation and mobility services; South Central Indiana Interpreting; and Leslie Humphrey, school, home and community liaison. •Crump also proudly passed around a formal letter from Daniel Freeman, Ed. D., the Montgomery County School Superintendent. The letter expressed the school district’s gratitude for the help it received from Pickering. It stated that a Montgomery County school bus full of students was traveling through the area bound for Hardinsburg, Ky., last month when it suddenly broke down. The Montgomery County transportation di-
rector contacted Pickering in order to save delayed time and Pickering gladly provided the district with a bus, as well as a mechanic and a replacement part to fix the bus.
Board receives funds from Crusade for Children The Meade County Board of Education has received a grant award from the WHAS-11 Crusade for Children. The grant amount is $33,975.

why their kids keep falling farther behind. A comparison of National Assessment of Educational Progress, called NAEP, math scores shows Kentucky’s fourth-grade black students trail whites by 19 points (the gap is 238 to 219 on the NAEP’s 500-point scale). Kentucky’s whites fall 10 points behind the average performance of whites nationwide, which means Kentucky’s black students scored a whopping 29 points behind the national average of whites: 248 to 219. The news gets more unsatisfactory for Kentucky’s black eighth-graders, who trail their white counterparts in math by 25 points and the nation’s whites by 33 points. Yet, Cunningham gets worked up about Yarmuth. I’m looking for Cunningham’s plan to “Heal the World” of education for Kentucky’s black children.

is a great effort in boosting the economy and making our country’s vehicles more fuel-efficient, but like many government programs, it has its ugly face. “Clunkers’” outright initiative is green, to get poor fuel-efficient cars off roadways, but underneath it all it seems like a veiled attempt at saving the nation’s auto industry. Even deeper than that, the program could be an avenue Uncle Sam is traveling to put money in his own pocket. Think about it: Let’s create a nationwide program for scared car owners and desperate dealerships to take advantage of, but we’ll change the rules often and keep the regulations a blur and if the rules are broken, we’ll collect fines. Dealers are solely responsible for making sure all requirements are met, and if one mistake is made — such as a trade-in vehicle
somehow finds itself back on the road — guess who’s liable? The dealership. A hefty $15,000 fine per vehicle will be slapped on dealerships so fast it’ll make their heads spin. I am, at this point, an advocate of stimulus programs that help the everyday consumer — my family, friends and neighbors — survive during these rocky financial times. And like many Meade Countians, I was raised on “little man’s wages” and am a huge supporter of smalltown businesses. Programs like this, however — that seem to target lower- and middle-income Americans who live on little man’s wages — make me suspicious that there must be an alterior motive. It seems to me that Uncle Sam needs to be a little more organized and have his ducks in a row before offering such a deal to hardpressed consumers.

Cunningham saying Yarmuth should have “shut up” instead of expressing his views. Ironic, isn’t it, that a man charged with advancing the interests of black Kentuckians would have advised Yarmuth to keep his mouth shut, even when Yarmuth believed what was going on was wrong? “Human Nature,” Jackson might say. Maybe. But what if all the great civilrights leaders would have kept their mouths shut? An issue much tougher to address but much more worthy of Cunningham’s attention: Most of the black leaders in this state have remained hush-hush far too long about the plight of poor black children. A new U.S. Department of Education report shows Kentucky’s black students falling farther behind their white peers, who aren’t doing so hot themselves.

PERIODICAL POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION
When you put in a claim for benefits, one of the first things that happens is that a Veterans Service Officer will ask for a compensation and pension exam, and will fill out the forms for it. If for some reason you don’t have that C&P exam, it’s called an incomplete exam request. The Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Veterans Affairs recently released a report on the problem of incomplete exams. It found that a good portion of exam requests were incomplete because veterans didn’t show up for appointments. Here’s why: In some cases the veterans weren’t called to set the appointment times — they were simply told via mail when those appointments would be. When veterans wanted to schedule for a different time or date, those exams weren’t always rescheduled. And in some cases, when veterans requested different appointment times, the exam requests were just canceled instead. Some exams weren’t done because veterans weren’t contacted by phone to schedule the appointments and the mailing address on the notice was wrong. After missed appointments, at three of the four facilities studied, no one called the veterans directly to try to set another appointment time. In other cases, appointments were rescheduled or just plain canceled without notifying the veterans. Rule of thumb: Know your status at all times. If you’ve got a claim in for benefits, keep on top of the scheduling of your exams. Be proactive. Don’t expect a phone call or mail, because you might not get it. Make the calls yourself. Verify that they’ve correctly entered your address and contact phone numbers into the system. In 2008, a probable 24,000 missed exams could have been avoided.

a backlog of 1 million unprocessed claims. In January of this year, there were 800,000 claims. In May it was more than 900,000 claims. But there’s something about that big number -- 1 million -- that makes you wonder: Where are the problems? Let’s take a look at where some of the logjams are, with info taken from the VA’s Monday Morning Workload Reports dated June 15, 2009. For unprocessed Compensation and Pension claims at the various centers: ¥ Baltimore has 12,375 claims, with 33.2 percent of those more than 180 days. (In January 30.7 percent of its claims were unprocessed.) ¥ New York has 11,129 claims, with 33.2 percent past 180 days. (In January 32.5 percent of its claims were unprocessed.) ¥ Atlanta has 30,839 claims, with 33.7 percent past 180 days. (In January 35.5 percent of its claims were unprocessed.) ¥ Montgomery, Ala., has 20,700 claims with 30.6 percent beyond 180 days. (In January 34.2 percent of its claims were unprocessed.) On the positive side, Sioux Falls, S.D., has only 1,176 claims, with a mere 6 percent past 180 days, and Boise, Idaho, is about the same, with only 6.8 percent of its 2,004 claims beyond 180 days. (In January it was 6.1 percent and 8.3 percent, respectively.) If you want to keep an eye on those weekly reports, go to www.vba. va.gov/VBA/ then click on Reports, then click Monday Morning Workload Reports. In June, the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs held hearings specifically on the topic of whether the VA can handle 1 million claims.

Gardener nets 18 lb. cabbage
Submitted by Meade Co. Chamber of Commerce BRANDENBURG — Fort Knox Federal Credit Union is the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce’s Member of the Month for July. The credit union was selected because of the breadth and depth of its support of the Chamber of Commerce and its consistently high level of involvement with the larger community, according to Chamber of Commerce President Matthew Pike. “Members like the credit union — and the other members we’ll recognize in the future — are vital to our organization because they provide the talented people and the financial support we need in our efforts to make Meade County a great place to be in business, to work, to raise a family, and to enjoy life,� Pike said. “And, it’s not just the Chamber of Commerce that benefits from its support. When there’s a project or cause that’s important to our community, Fort Knox Federal Credit Union lends its support.� Although the credit union has had a presence in Meade County only since July 2004, when it opened a branch in River Ridge Plaza, it traces its roots to November 1950,

Arthritis is a condition taken without first consult-
in which a person’s joints become inflamed, causing pain, stiffness and swelling. It is often caused by the erosion of cartilage that supports the muscle and bone structures that, in turn, support the joints.
This wearing away of cartilage many times causes bone friction, resulting in
calcium or uric acid deposits being left on the bones near the joints. These deposits limit the joint’s range of motion and can cause severe pain and discomfort. The theory that consuming small amounts of ACV daily may relieve joint pain is premised on the fact that vinegar contains trace amounts of malic acid, a compound known to dissipate uric acid and calcium deposits. It is thought that the malic acid helps to dissolve the deposits left on the joints, thereby eliminating or reducing arthritis pain. Malic acid is also known to successfully fight some fungal and bacterial infections that, when treated, can further reduce arthritis discomfort.
Although I do not have arthritis and therefore cannot test the methods listed below, the following ideas on how arthritis sufferers may test the benefits of ACV on their arthritis pain: •Mix a teaspoon of ACV with 8 ounces of water and drink two to three times a day. •Soak aching joints in a warm solution of ACV and water three to four times a day. •Wrap aching joints with a towel soaked with warm ACV. Remove when towel gets cool. Repeat as needed. •Use ACV in vinaigrette dressings. Smaller amounts can be used in soups, stews, or on fresh vegetables to liven up the flavor of foods.

In addition to the many moral, spiritual and physical reasons for remaining virgins until marriage, there are numerous psychological and interpersonal advantages as well. Though it’s an old-fashioned notion, perhaps, it is still true that men do not respect “easy” women and often become bored with those who have held nothing in reserve. Likewise, women often disrespect men who have only one thing on their minds. Both sexes need to remember how to use a very ancient word. It’s pronounced “no.” 16. Country singer Tom T. Hall wrote a song in which he revealed an understanding of the concept we have been describing. His lyric read, “If you hold love too loosely then it flies away; if you hold love too tightly, it’ll die. It’s one of the mysteries of life.” Hall’s observation is accurate. If the commitment between a man and a woman is given insufficient importance in their lives, it will wither like a plant without water. The whole world knows that much. But fewer
lovers seem to realize that extreme dependency can be just as deadly to a love affair. It has been said that the person who needs the other least will normally be in control of the relationship. I believe that to be true. 17. There is nothing about marriage that eliminates the basic need for freedom and respect in romantic interactions. Keep the mystery and the dignity in your relationship. If the other partner begins to feel trapped and withdraws for a time, grant him or her some space and pull back yourself. Do not build a cage around that person. Instead, release your grip with confidence while never appeasing immorality or destructive behavior. These are the basics of the “love must be tough” concept. I could list another hundred suggestions, but you get the idea.

Questions and answers are excerpted from “Solid Answers” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both published by Tyndale House.
Local gospel stars take the stage at Farm Bureau community building By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com Local devoted Christians congregated at the Meade County Farm Bureau Community Building Sunday to be entertained by joyful sounds from gospel bands, solo artists, and songwriters, as well as to take part in a public service composed of various religious leaders. The annual Community Gospel Sing was headed by Laura Dutschke, a Meade County resident, and kicked off by the band, “Heaven Sent,” made up of members Steven Robins, Dutschke,
Johnny Montgomery and Rick Stith. Local singers like Bobby Hartley, of Rock Haven Baptist Church, and 13-year-old Taylor Oliver shook up the audience with blithesome songs like “Mountain Mover” and “Love Calls My Name.” Singer/songwriter Al Elliott performed a few of his own spiritual words, and the “Good News Quartet” praised His name through rejoicing classic gospel sounds. The event concluded with a service given by the local religious leaders from the Meade County Ministerial Association.

Bullock mixes love, work in ‘The Proposal’
“The Proposal” / Rated PG13
The word “proposal” can mean a couple of things. It is, of course, the formal “Will you marry me?” question that traditionally marks the beginning of a couple’s engagement. It’s also commonly used to refer a business proposition, a pitch for an arrangement through which both parties stand to benefit. Both definitions come into play in this tart romantic comedy, in which a demanding, high-flying female executive drags her put-upon male assistant into a dilemma that puts them both in a wedding-bound pickle. Sandra Bullock is Margaret Tate, a bullish New York book editor at a large, hustle-bustle publishing company. Ryan Reynolds is Andrew Paxton, the beleaguered aide always in her direct line of soul-sucking, unforgiving fire. Like everyone else in the office, Andrew loathes Margaret, who even requires him to skip his sweet grandma’s 90th birthday to work over the weekend. Obviously, Andrew has friends and a rich family life. Margaret, it’s quickly

established, has neither. When Margaret, a Canadian, finds out she’s about to be deported, she has to think fast to avoid losing her job: Marry an American! That’s how Andrew suddenly finds himself engaged to his overbearing boss — at least that’s what Margaret wants the immigration office to think. He reluctantly agrees to play along after she threatens to derail his dreams of becoming an editor if he doesn’t. But a nosy immigration official calls their bluff, and the unlikely couple has to make a trip to visit Andrew’s family — in Alaska! . That’s the set-up, and it provides a sturdy platform for lots of two-worlds-collide, fish-out-of-water gags and shared-bedroom slap-
stick. And then, as Margaret and Andrew learn more about each other, the ice between them slowly begins to melt … A solid supporting cast keeps everything light and lively. Craig T. Nelson and Mary Steenburgen play Andrew’s parents. Oscar Nuñez, from TV’s “The Office,” is hilarious as a local jack-of-all trades who keeps popping up just about everywhere. And 87-year-old Betty White practically steals the show as feisty, say-anything Grandma Annie, who spices up every scene in which she appears. Reynolds holds his own as a leading man, both with and without a shirt. Neil Pond is the entertainment writer for American Profile.

‘Gran Torino’ packs strong lessons, statements Gran Torino (DVD) Clint Eastwood directed and starred in this critically praised 2008 drama about a grizzled Korean War veteran whose standoff relationship with his immigrant neighbors changes when gang violence comes calling in their neighborhood — and intersects with his beloved restored Gran Torino. The ending packs a wallop with a strong statement about sacrifice, valor and what it means to be a man. Blu-ray extras include a featurette on a vintage-car event where auto buffs describe the bond between them and their wheels, plus a digital copy for downloading. A Pocketful of History, by Jim Noles (Book) Did you know you could be carrying around history in your pocket? This stateby-state guide to the U.S. Mint series of commemorative quarters tells the stories behind the wide-ranging scenes, people
and themes depicted on each coin. Even if you’re not a collector, you’ll nonetheless be entertained and enlightened — and find yourself looking a lot closer at the next state quarter that lands in your hand. Tom and Jerry’s Greatest Chases (DVD) The iconic cartoon cat and mouse are up to their classic around-the-house antics in this roundup of 14 vintage theatrical shorts from the 1940s and ’50s, including two (“Mouse Trouble” and “Quiet Please!”) that won Academy Awards. Oh sure, some folks will find reasons to tsktsk at the maliciously merry mayhem, sillywilly slapstick violence and strange, lovehate dynamic that drives every hyper rip through the living room. Everyone else will just see a mouse with a skillet, and a tomcat whose head ends up looking like a frying pan. C’mon, admit it — that’s funny.

Long-withstanding tradition of fair exhibits continues to grow By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com When the Meade County homemakers organization formed in 1948, it quickly became involved with the Meade County Fair. Starting out with only a small lemonade and Coke stand, the homemakers eventually profited enough money to build their own location on the fairgrounds. The building originally paid for by the homemakers is now used by the sheriff’s department and sits adjacent to the Home Environment Building, which now houses the seven homemakers organizations and an eclectic array of exhibits displayed during the Meade County Fair. Each year, the fair board makes additions and modifications to the building in order to provide a top-notch facility in which to display a number of crafts, food items, flowers, quilts, paintings and other exhibits. Jennifer Bridge, the homemakers advisor and an extension agent, said it was common in the 1940s and 50s for canning and baked goods to be the dominating entries, and is now seeing a resurgence in those types of entries. “We’ve kind of transi-

Last year we had over 200 questions at the office related to food preservation, and then this year we had 198 entries in canning, and they were not the same people that called in, but that just shows the growing interest in the area.” Bridge said there are more than 400 categories and nearly 1,400 entries this year. Categories such as canning, clothing, quilting and flowers had an increase in entries.
Anyone, no matter the age, can enter a category and the best part is there’s no entry fee. There is no limit of how many items an individual can enter, however, they are limited to one per category. Entries were brought to the fair on Monday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Bridge said the homemakers helped contestants find the category to place his or her exhibits in. “We check in entries and then we have category sheets that we check them in on and we assign them an exhibitor number that we cor-
respond with the sheets and the tags on entries,” she said. “That way we know whose is whose.” Out-of-town judges declared winners on Monday, after which ribbons were placed on winning items. At the close of fair week, the fair board will mail checks to all winners. First place premium winners receive $5, second place $3 and third place $2. A purple ribbon was also given to grand champion items in each division. Located next to the Home Environment Building is the FFA/4-H/FCCLA Building
that also lodges handmade, homegrown and produced entries by locals for visitors to get a mouth-watering glimpse at throughout the week. According to Sue Ellen Stull, a staff member at the county extension office, the exhibits can be entered by any 4-H and FFA member. Like the homemakers, FFA and 4-H have countless diverse categories, like clothing, greenhouse plants and canning. This year 4-H made an addition, the centennial category. Kentucky 4-H celebrated
its 100th birthday this year and many members baked or crafted centennial items in honor of the century-old organization. “Members of 4-H and FFA can enter in any division, but they have to be members of either clubs and 4-H members have to have six educational hours,” Stull said. Throughout the rest of the week all 4-H, FFA and home economic exhibits will be displayed in both buildings. See next week’s issue of The News Standard for results of the fair exhibits.

Annual big cash giveaway pays out to some very lucky fairgoers Two very happy Meade County fairgoers were the envy of the fair Monday night after winning the $8,000 cash drawing. Paid out in two distributions — a $5,000 winner and a $3,000 winner, out-of-state resident Read R. Hall had his name drawn as the big winner, and Meade County resident Whitney Skirtich — equine program director at Camp Piomingo in Otter Creek Park — won the smaller prize. Dozens of campers, who arrived at the fair in a bus, stormed into the arena after hearing Skirtich won.

Kupper brings new, kid-friendly pediatric center to town By Crystal Benham crystal@thenewsstandard.com Meade County, the doctor is in. Robert Kupper, MD., will host an open house July 27 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. to begin taking patient applications at his new establishment — Meade County Pediatrics — located at 1010 Lawrence Street in Brandenburg across from Knott’s Body Shop. Kupper, a 2006 University of Louisville medical school graduate, said he discovered his interest in science and pediatrics as a teenager at DeSales High School in Louisville. “I did well in science in high school and I started to take advantage of the health careers program that they had,” he said. “I kind of just kept going in that direction from there. I always had an interest in pediatrics and kids in general and never really wavered from that.” While in high school, Kupper began volunteering at Kosair Children’s Hospital until he began his undergraduate studies at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala. After graduating from Spring Hill with a dual degree in chemistry and biology, Kupper made his way back to Kosair working as a nursing assistant in the emergency room and stayed for two-and-ahalf years before attending medical school at UofL. Prior to med school, Kup-

ABOVE: The pediatric sign is visible from the ByPass Road and Hwy. 228 intersection. per met his wife, Meade County native Whitney Cornett, through his oldest sister who played college basketball with Cornett’s sister. From med school, Kupper did his residency studies at UK Hospital in Lexington, and then found himself in Brandenburg. “After spending plenty of time with my wife, her friends and family, (Meade County) has really come to be home for me,” Kupper said. He realized the county
did not have a pediatrics center and felt the area would be “an obvious place to fill a void.” Kupper said he wanted a center that would be operated in a friendly, kidoriented fashion — “a place that would flow and work well with children.” And kid friendly the center will be. The interior is cheery and colorful, with educational murals painted on every wall by Stuart Pepper Middle School art teacher David Craycroft. Books and toys fin in the
lobby for patients’ and parents’ convenience. The long front porch of the building and comfortable wood benches make a welcoming first impression, and each patient room is spacious and complete with plenty of windows creating a brighter, happier setting. Kupper said he accepts almost all major health insurance carriers, and the staff consists of one nurse, a medical assistant and a few office assistants. For patients without health insurance, if they are
willing to work with Meade County Pediatrics, “then we’re willing to work with them,” Kupper said. If a patient previously had insurance but lost his or her job, Kupper said he would help them out, “if it’s a temporary thing where they just lost their
insurance for a temporary amount of time, then I’ll work with them on that or set up a parent plan. “I’ll take all (patients),” he said. “I don’t admit … but I will send them to admissions to Kosair … but otherwise I will take all (parent calls). They can call into the office first and (my staff) should be able to forward those on to my cell phone.” His patients can range in age from infancy to their early 20s. “Patient age can range from birth to as far as kids getting out of the college,” he said. “If they wanted to continue coming here out of college, that would be acceptable. It’s really kind of a comfort thing between the patient and myself. There’s no set age limit.” Meade County Pediatrics will officially open Aug. 3 and its business hours will be Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call 270-422-3400. Kupper said he also plans to have a Web site available in the near future. “I hope (Meade County Pediatrics) can be a … medical home for kids where their medical care can be coordinated,” Kupper said.
Lease agreements finalized between Big Rivers, E.ON U.S. Submitted by David Spainhoward Big Rivers Electric Cooperation NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. — Following years of work and intense negotiations among a variety of interested parties, final documents were signed today ending the lease agreements under which E.ON U.S. had been operating the power plants owned by Big Rivers Electric Corp. The leases originally were signed in 1998 and were to run through 2023, but both companies have been working for a number of years to “unwind” the arrangement. The closing takes effect at 11:59 p.m. July 16. In addition to returning operation of the plants to Big Rivers, another important element related to the complex transaction includes new long-term power contracts with the Century and Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelters, which employ some 1,200 people. “This is an important day not only for Big Riv-
ers, but for all of western Kentucky,” said Big Rivers president and CEO Mark Bailey. “Decisions about power generation and how we manage our facilities now will be back in the hands of people who live and work in this part of the state. And, the new power contracts with the smelters help to protect the significant economic impact they have on our region.” As a result of the closing: •Immediate electric rate hikes have been avoided that otherwise would have been necessary. •Big Rivers has emerged as one of the financially strongest electric cooperatives in the country. •Big Rivers and its member cooperatives can now participate more directly in economic development efforts throughout the region. •The future of the area’s aluminum smelters — and their accompanying economic impact in the region — is more secure. About 470 employees of E.ON subsidiary Western
Kentucky Energy Corp. (WKE), who had been operating the power plants under the previous lease agreement, will become employees of Big Rivers with the closing of the transaction. The Unwind transaction went through a meticulous review process and has been approved by the Kentucky Public Service Commission, Big Rivers’ creditors and member cooperatives, the smelters’ corporate headquarters, and Henderson Municipal Power & Light, which owns one of the plants that will be operated once again by Big Rivers.

Big Rivers Electric Corporation is an electric generation and transmission cooperative headquartered in Henderson, Kentucky and owned by its three distribution cooperative members: Jackson Purchase Energy Corporation, headquartered in Paducah; Kenergy Corp, headquartered in Henderson; and Meade County Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation, headquartered in Brandenburg.
What does money mean to you? By David Uffington Dollars and Sense Does thinking about money make you happy? Or does it make you stressed? Do you work too hard, or not enough, and don’t understand why? Do you spend impulsively, or hate to part with a dime? A new book can help you understand the patterns of your
behavior with money. “The Secret Language of Money” by David Krueger and John Mann (McGraw Hill) is subtitled “How to Make Smarter Financial Decisions and Live a Richer Life.” Krueger, a psychiatrist, combines psychology, economics and neuroscience to address questions like the ones above. Because there is a “secret”
language of money, many of us make mistakes. Nearly every chapter in the book contains a quiz, designed to help us understand why we do what we do. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. E-mail him at columnreply@gmail.com.

By Ben Achtabowski sports@thenewsstandard.com People always remember their firsts: their first love, their first baseball glove, their first car, their first day of school and so on. At a motocross track, riders remember their first dirt bike. Pearly white-toothed smiles crack from the muddy faces of motocross racers when they talk about their first set of wheels. The acronymic names of bikes roll off their tongues like a second
language: “I had a RX250,” or “My first 180” or “I broke down my JR50 in a matter of weeks of riding it.” Bikes’ names are given by manufactures for various reasons — whether arbitrary or not — and those names have infiltrated the everyday lexicon of a motocrosser.

Last Sunday the Meade County Fair hosted its annual motocross event. With a new track layout, more than 200 riders competed in money races and points races. Alongside the 200-plus riders, hundreds of spectators filled the new infield area of the track to enjoy a day filled with high paced racing. The track also welcomed Rhino racing to the event this year, where the pit caked the four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles with mud and dirt. Ethan Straney took the $100 first place finish in the event. Some of the biggest moto winners of the day were Ryan Sipes with a first place finish in the lites money division — giving him a $125 payout. In the quad money division, DeWayne Newton won $125 on his Yamaha four-wheeler.

The 10-year-old Meade County Madness baseball team fell one game short of claiming their third state championship in four years on Monday at Henderson County. During the championship game the Madness faced Germantown — the same team the Madness beat last year in the championship — and lost 8-6. The back-and-forth game had the Madness up by one run in five innings. But the top of the sixth inning proved to be deadly for Meade County who committed several important errors, which resulted in three Germantown runs. During the bottom half of the inning, the Madness managed to get several hits but were unable to plate any runs, which eventually

The first official events of the 2009 Meade County Fair were the 5K and one-mile walk/run, held July 18. The top finishers are members of the Meade County High School cross country team as they looked to kick off their season with the fair run.

County Fair Motocross event during which hundreds of riders competed. Racers of all ages swamped the track and were more than willing to reminisce about their first bikes. Fifteen-year-old Drake Singleton remembers when he first rode his bike — a Honda CRF100 — in 2006. “It was the Saturday before Easter,” Singleton said, who is from Rineyville, Ky. “It was fun. I was riding at my house and I lived next to a professional rider, so he taught me everything.” Two years later Singleton started to race competitively on his CRF100. “I fell in love with the sport on that bike,” he said. “It’s a really good bike. It’s fun riding on trails and then coming out here and riding on the track.” Starting at the age of 14 is sort of a late start for some motocrossers. Brandenburg’s Jalen Hardcastle was four-years-old when he got his first bike: a Honda XR. “I ran into the trailer the first time I rode it,” the 11-year-old said. “I got a slight concussion. But I fell in love with racing on that bike.” Crashing is a right of passage for any rider trying to conquer the dirt bike. “I thought I was a stud muffin on (my first bike),” said Brandenburg’s Levi Camp as he mimed riding a bike. “It’s embarrassing looking back at it though. I was terrible.” Camp does remember his first big crash when he was competing at Balance Track in Bowling Green, Ky., and his bike wound up deep in to a mud hole. “I didn’t know where I was going and then all of the sudden I’m in the mud hole,” he said. “I know whenever I started racing it seemed like every lap, every moto I was crashing my bike.”
“I fell about twice a lap,” Hardcastle chimed in, who started to race competitively when he was five. “But I was pretty good at cornering though. But it took a while to get used to jumps.” For fair motocross coordinator Jimmie Brooks, crashing was a family affair when he got into his first wreck with his brother on a three-wheeler. “He went over the hill and threw me off the bike,” Brooks said laughing. “I broke my arm. He got up and slugged me in the jaw and told me I made him get in a wreck.” The sibling rivalry of the Brooks brothers started when they got their first bikes after trading in their horse. “We went to a horse sale and instead of buying a horse we got a bike,” Brooks said. “My dad was not happy. But we loved it and ended up with about seven bikes for my brothers and me. We would break one and then get another one. Luckily, my dad could fix some of them, but we always kept him busy.” For some riders, buying a bike was half the battle. Trent McEllhinex, of Princeton, Ind., certainly earned his bike. After working as a bus boy in a family restaurant

Zach Uhlig soars though the air. as a 14-year-old, McEllhinex saved his money for more than six months to buy a Suzuki DS80 for $1,000. “It was a lot of money and it was exciting when I finally got it,” the 29-yearold said. “Before that I was riding bicycles and watching the pros on TV. It looked like so much fun. It looks so easy on TV and I was like ‘man, I want to get a dirt bike. I can do that.’ Once I got it I realized, man, it’s not that easy.” The first day on the bike McEllhinex, of course, had his first wreck. “The first day I had it 3rd Place: Jaden Price 4th Place: Kanaan Stephenson 5th Place: Bryce Duvall Quad 7-10 1st Place: Camron Lane 2nd Place: Jayden Fuqua Quad 16-29 1st Place: P.

I popped a wheelie and flipped over backward,” he said. “My mom was almost going to make me sell it. “Actually the coolest thing I learned was how to ride wheelies on it and felt pretty cool. It took me a week to get used to and ride around the yard and do circles and pop wheelies.” After that first week, McEllhinex was hooked and ever since then he “never quit riding dirt bikes.” “The bike was pretty much junk after I was done with it,” he said, who rode the DS80 for three years. “I couldn’t even have sold it
if I wanted to.” For many riders, their first bikes were almost unsalvageable. They ride the bike literally into the ground; other riders look for an immediate upgrade for a faster stronger bike. Sixteen-year-old Cole Durham’s first bike only lasted a few months before he improved to a better bike. The Brandenburg racer started competitively less than a year ago on a Suzuki RM85, then moved up to a 125. “I don’t like my (old 85) as much as my new one,” Durham said. “It’s a lot more powerful — more speed.”
But even after the quick modification, Durham’s first bike was the bike where he grew the passion to compete. “I got hooked with that bike though,” he said. “It’s so fun. There are a lot of good people in this sport. It’s a good activity and a good community event.” Each story of a first bike is as unique as its rider, but one thing is for sure, it’s the bike that instills a life-long love. “We have people of all ages out here,” Brooks said. “We have guys that are in their 50s.” And they all remember their first bike.

lawnmowers who repeatedly crash into each other in true demolition derby style — with just a helmet and no other pads. With 11 mowers in the event, the derby was decided by two new comers to the sport: Andy Glisson and Richie Hopkins “I was bored, so I just decided to build one,” said Glisson who finished in second place. “It’s hard out there. It was all right though. There were a lot of good hard hits.” The star of the show was Hopkins, whose mower had troubles right from the start. Just after his second hit the seat jarred loose and with only four mowers left in the fight, his front right wheel ripped off. Then, with just two competitors left, his solo front wheel was hanging by a thread rendering his mower nearly steerless. “It’s quite different from regular cars,” Hopkins said who also competed in last night’s demolition derby. “It’s tough, real tough. I got one shin that’s killing me. I hope it’s not too bad.” Because of Hopkins work on his demolition car he didn’t have enough time to build a mower and thought he wouldn’t be able to compete in this year’s event. “I’ve been wanting to build one, but I was busy working on my demolition derby car,” he said. “So I knew I wasn’t going to have enough time to build one.” Then arrived the aid of Bruce Caster of Caster’s Mow’n and More in Meade County who asked Hopkins if he wanted ride his mower. “I didn’t expect it because I’ve never done this,” Hopkins said. “But a lot of the (lawnmower) guards the other guys had just weren’t as good as mine. (Caster) knows how to put mowers together.” The lulling economy played a large role in the addition of the lawnmower derby to the fair event line-

Meade County moved on to play Hancock County on July 16 and won 12-5. Medley led the way with three hits and Mattingly went 2-for-3 while Levi Hurt added a home run. The Madness suffered its first loss of the season in the next round when they played Barren County on July 17. The 5-4 loss was of a result of too many runners stranded on base. Mattingly led the way again alongside Austin Poole and Haynes who each went 2-for-3. Crase added a solo home run. The Madness faced the Henderson Nationals again in the double elimination tournament on July 18. The result of the second game was nearly identical to the first game, 12-3. Haynes had three hits and

Last year, Pace and the fair board noticed a drop in two-night big car demolition derby participants, so the board decided to consolidate the derbies to just Thursday night, leaving a spot for events on Tuesday. “We saw the lawnmowers on video and we thought we would give it a try,” Pace said. “More and more people are getting involved with lawnmowers. Not only with derbies but also with racing. I think it’s something someone can afford to get into. You don’t need a great big trailer or a big budget.” Hopkins reaffirmed the low cost of building a derby lawnmower. “You can get a mower for about $30 and then put about $100 worth of steel in it,” he said. “The typical car runs about $300 before you even start doing anything with it. Scrap prices are way up and those cars weigh a lot and the mowers don’t. So they’re easier to find.” The night’s events ended with a flippin’ good time for spectators of the rollover event. Even Pace didn’t know what to expect of the new event. “I was a nervous wreck tonight,” he said. “I’m the most cautious person here and when I agreed to this people thought I lost my mind. They assured me that this would be safe. I thought it went well.” The rollover event consisted Levi Hurt went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer. Lee had two hits and Poole knocked in a three-run home run. Austin Sanders was perfect at the plate during the game with a pair of singles. On Sunday, July 18 the Madness played the Henderson American team and won 9-2. Hurt was huge offensively with three hits including a two-run homer. Lee, Crase and Mattingly each had two hits during the game. The team played a second game on Sunday against Barren County during which the Madness looked for payback from its earlier tournament loss to them. Meade County exacted their revenge with a 5-4 win. Garrett Ammons had three singles, while Crase, Hanes and Hurt each went 2-for-3. Hurt also tacked on his third home run of the tournament during the win over Barren County. This is the fourth year the team has played together and this season they have a 16-4 record. Overall, during the last four years the team has four district championships, two state and one Ohio Valley Region Championship.
of mini cars riding up a small ramp — wide enough for one tire — and causing the car to rollover to its side. Points were awarded to how many times the car rolled. The crowd erupted when they saw the first car come up the ramp and flip onto its hood. But the biggest cheer was when Doug Brown flipped his car and landed back onto his wheels. “It’s fun,” said the 10year rollover veteran. “As long as you’ve got your
race harness and your helmet you’ll be fine. But it does take a little nerve.” Brown certainly felt rolling over a car is harder than it looks. “The ramp is about that big,“ he said, holding his hands about two feet apart. “But when you’re looking at it in the car 100 feet away it looks a lot smaller. You sit there and all you think is ‘Don’t miss the ramp. Don’t miss the ramp.’ Everybody misses it at some point. I’ve done it many a time myself.”
The oldest member of the group, 71-year-old Mealy Brown, missed the ramp twice on Tuesday night and walked away disappointed — but he competed with a broken foot. “I didn’t do good tonight,” he said. “But I like to do this. I have quite a bit of fun doing this and it’s a pretty rough ride sometimes.” Regardless of who came out on top the spectators were very pleased with the new show. “It was entertainment,”
said Jerry Trent, of Brandenburg. “I definitely got my money’s worth tonight. Both (new events) were really good. I think they should keep these new events.” And that’s just what Pace plans to do. “With the crowd response this year I think we’ll try it again next year,” he said. “As long as we don’t see numbers slip we’ll keep it. But sometimes you don’t want to get into a rut either. That’s why we try to get something new and exciting.”

Back Seat Drivers keep eye on the prize
Corn hole tourney is a hit
With nearly 10 teams competing, the Back Seat Driver contest successfully produced another accident-free event Tuesday night at the fairgrounds arena. Coordinator Liz Bell said the number of teams increased from last year and she credited the new rule “anyone with a driver’s license can register” as a big draw. “Last year, and the years before, the rule was ‘couples only,’” Bell said. “But this year we changed it … and now it’s open to anyone. They just have to have a driver’s license.” The race requires teams of two — one back-seat driver, who holds a microphone blurting out directions for all to hear, and one blindfolded driver, listening carefully while trying to be the fastest racer and avoiding accidents. This year’s teams were made up of grandfathers and granddaughters, married couples, teams of friends, mothers and sons and many more.

Rook players get a good deal at fair The Meade County Farm Bureau Community Building lodged local rook players Tuesday night. Though 21 teams of two were packed in the building, spread out at tables of four, the building was quiet and the pressure was on. Coordinators Terry Miller, George Wardrip and Jim Scott said registration for the event was down this year compared to nearly 50 teams last year. Ninety-five percent of the proceeds go back to the tournament to provide prizes and the other five percent is given to the fair board.

Strange but True By Samantha Weaver •It was French playwright Albert Guinon who made the following sage observation: "When everyone is against you, it means that you are absolutely wrong — or absolutely right."
•If you're like the average man, you have roughly 15,000 whiskers on your face. (Yes, that pun was intended.) •That loose debris floating around up in space is actually traveling at about 44,000 miles per second. •Every July 4 weekend, the town of Austin, Minn., hosts the SPAM Cookoff, featuring such delicacies as SPAM pizza, SPAM kabobs, SPAM Caesar salad, SPAM spring rolls, SPAM mousse, SPAM strudel and, yes, SPAM cheesecake. •During a portion of the 19th century, the country of Switzerland changed its capital every two years. 59 DOWN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty is, as always, admirable. But you might want to be more tactful in discussing a sensitive issue with a family member. Remember: You can give advice without giving offense. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An unexpected workplace snag should be handled quickly and efficiently so that it leaves you time for family gettogethers. Also, you might soon get that long-sought apology. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Aspects favor family matters, especially where children might be involved. Spending time with loved ones helps restore some much-needed balance to your typically busy schedule. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That seemingly clear-cut agreement might not be quite so straightforward after all. Recheck for language that could make you liable for hidden costs and other unpleasant surprises. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Careful, Kitty. Better to deal with someone with proven reliability than with a big talker who promises much but can't confirm that he or she will deliver. Your social life really zings this weekend. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your matchmaking skills are at peak performance levels both in helping to staff workplace teams for upcoming projects and for bringing people together on a more personal basis. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You're finally seeing some progress with your new venture. But be prepared for it to continue at a slower pace than you're used to. Meanwhile, a loved one could be preparing a surprise. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A family member's success pulls you into the spotlight as well. Enjoy it, but don't let it overshadow or otherwise obstruct what you're doing with your own creative projects. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Using what you already know might not be quite enough to get a proposed project off the ground. Look for any new information that might help tilt the scales in your favor. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Good news: While a changing workplace environment can be daunting for some, it could be the challenge you've been hoping for. If so, confront it with confidence and move on. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It's a good time to recheck travel arrangements for any changes that could work to your advantage. Aspects also favor strengthening and restoring old, fraying relationships. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Using your intuitive reasoning helps you cut right through the double-talk and go straight to what's really going on around you. Stay the course until all your questions are answered. BORN THIS WEEK: You radiate light and warmth, and others love being close to you. (c) 2009 King Features Synd., Inc.
