Injuries dampen end-of-school year tradition By Casey Tolliver The News Standard A decades old tradition for Meade County High School seniors is gaining criticism after a trend of injuries in the past couple of years. For at least two years in a row, participants in the

annual end of school water fight, which is said to have started with the class of 1989, have been injured. Meade County High School track coach Larry Garner, who has been the track coach at MCHS for 12 years, noticed the event has taken a dangerous turn dur-

ing his tenure. “Usually, when I first got here, everyone had water balloons,” he said. “Probably in the past three or four years it has been getting worse. I’ve heard that people have been putting Nair in balloons; I’ve heard that people are putting urine

inside balloons. I also heard that last year somebody put a rock in a balloon and a kid had to have stitches.” This year, the water fight cost the track team one of its best runners in the region and state track meets. For senior Sean Breeds, it forfeited his last meet as a

Meade County runner. Breeds, who was one of the top runners for the Meade County High School track team and one of the best distance runners in the state, according to Garner, was hit in the face with a water balloon after somebody connected a PVC pipe

to an air compressor to use as a makeshift cannon used to launch water balloons, according to Garner. The balloon ricocheted off of a vehicle, and struck Breeds in the face, he added. As a result, the runner See INJURY, Page A8

Law passes to prevent abuse to animals Staff Report The News Standard Gov. Steve Beshear signed a bill last week aimed to curb the inhumane treatment of horses and other farm animals. Beshear signed House Bill 398, which created the Kentucky Equine Health and Welfare Council, the first council of its kind in the country, according to a press release from the Governor’s office. The council will work in conjunction with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture to create and enforce regulations pertaining to the treatment of horses and other livestock. See ABUSE, Page A2

Jim and Gloria Snider’s home of almost 70 years will be one of many homes be removed to make room for Highway KY 313.

Road project is well underway, forcing homeowners to make a unwanted move By Casey Tolliver The News Standard A BRAC inspired road project in Meade County sparkles with promises of progress, but also threatens to undo generational ownership of some of the county’s farms and homesteads. The expansion of KY 313, which was designed to help alleviate and ebb traffic flow caused by a spike in motorists due to BRAC, is not only going to change Meade County’s topography, but the lives of many residents as well. For some Meade County residents, it means giving up homes ranging from newly built homes to homes that have been in families for generations. James Snider, of Flaherty, was one of many Meade County residents notified two years ago that his home would be one of the houses that would have to be demolished to make room for the KY 313 expansion. “I’ve been here for 69 years, and my wife has been here for 45 years,” Snider said. “This is where all of our kids were born and raised.” See HIGHWAY, Page A3

Chris McGee named new Meade County Band Director By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Meade County will welcome a new band director this school year, as Chris McGee will fill the shoes of former director Bruce Soderstrom. According to Paul Poole, director of personnel at Meade County schools, there were numerous quality candidates up for the position and the board didn’t want to rush to make a decision. “It took us a while to fill the position … we had to make sure we had the right fit for the community,” Poole said. “Chris stood out because he has had success as a past band director and in the classroom.” McGee will come to Meade County after serving as the Assistant Band Director for Muhlenburg County High

School in Muhlenburg, Ky., in 2009. His responsibilities included directing the 2009-10 concert band and 2009-10 jazz band. His other duties included marching band, wind ensemble, pep bands, assisting with middle school bands and teaching music courses. Prior to that, McGee served as the Band Director for Muhlenberg South High School for four years. At Muhlenberg South High School, McGee led the “Marching Suns” marching band to their first state final appearance in 2006 and to the Class AA State Championship in 2007. In 2008, Muhlenburg South High School concert band received exemplary status at the Third District Concert Festival. McGee is a native of Hopkinsville, See BAND, Page A2

Representatives from each fire district were awarded their Crusade for Children donations last Thursday. By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard The Meade County Board of Education presented checks to representatives from local fire departments last Friday. Meade County raised money by allowing teachers and staff to pay $10 to dress down each Friday during May. “It’s good that the community comes together to help provide support for its students,” said Nancy Mitcham, director of special education. “This is one small thing to help the fire departments in their effort to help the children with special needs.” This is second year Meade County has participated

in this fundraiser for the Crusade for Children and Mitcham said they plan to continue in the future. The total amount of money raised was $3,215.10.

a budget during this year’s General Assembly, which meant crucial programs such as state police, state parks and Medicaid would lose funding if a budget wasn’t passed by July 1.

Fiscal court reappoints Fire Protection District board members By Casey Tolliver The News Standard

A missing Meade County youth was found last weekend. Rebecca Short, a 15-yearold Guston resident, had been missing for nearly three weeks when she was found at the Target store on Bardstown Road in Louisville last Friday according to the teen’s mother, Kim Short. She was unharmed. The teen, who was suspected to have ran away with another Meade County teen, was returned to her home on Monday morning in a fervent reunion with her family. “We’re going through a lot of emotional stuff because of what she’s done, all the worrying she’s caused us and throughout the community,” Kim said.

The teens, who had been missing since May 16, were detained at Lincoln Village Juvenile Detention Center in Elizabethtown, Ky., over the weekend. The pair was detained for pick-up orders, and were ordered to appear before a judge on Monday morning, who placed certain conditions on the two for running away, Kim said. The community was instrumental in locating the two teens, she added. “There’s a lot of people that helped with flyers and searching for and prayers,” she said. “We just need to put that out there, thanking all the police officers, the newspapers and all the Kroger employees, because they helped us a lot.

Citizens throughout the Commonwealth should be on guard for telephone solicitations requesting donations for the benefit of the Kentucky State Police. According to Lt. David Jude, commander of the KSP Media Relations Branch, the agency has received numerous reports from individuals throughout the state regarding efforts to raise funds for the families of fallen troopers or to purchase drug dogs for schools. “These calls are not authorized by the Kentucky State Police,” he said. “They should be reported to the nearest state police post as soon as possible.” The agency’s Electronic Crimes Branch is conducting an on-going investigation of the matter, he added.

separate organization consisting of KSP troopers and retirees, occasionally conducts fundraising efforts, but is not involved in such activities at this time. The Kentucky State Police offer the following tips to reduce the risk of telephone fraud: •When in doubt, ask for more information in writing. •Never feel obligated to provide your credit card number over the phone. •Ask questions such as “How much of the donation will go directly to the charity as opposed to paying for administrative costs?” The fewer questions the caller can answer, the less likely it is legitimate. •Ask for a call-back number or website address so you can research the organization and contact them later. •Hang up if a caller offers to send a messenger to your home to pick up cash or a check.

McGee’s professional affiliations include the Kentucky Music Educators Association, Music Educator’s National Conference and Phi Kappa Lambda National Honor Society. With all of his achievements, Meade County officials know McGee will fit in just perfectly in the area. “I feel like (McGee) will do a good job leading our program,” Poole said.

The house, which belonged to his grandfather, is one of six homes lining a stretch of Highway 144 in Ekron that will be sacrificed for the new route. A few houses down, a house built nearly a year ago is perched on a hilltop that is in the path of the extension project. The recently built home will also have to come down, and the owner has already vacated, Snider said. Across the road from Snider ’s house is a wheat field, part of which will be a section of the new highway. Snider ’s well manicured side yard, shaded by trees and adorned with the occasional flower or decorative plant will eventually be the site of a connector road to KY 313. Though the impact of the road extension means detrimental changes to the landscape for some, the overall consequences will signal beneficial changes for many, according to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet public affairs official Mark Brown. “I think because BRAC is bringing such a substantial addition to the area, that is what is making these projects necessary. It is going to relieve a transportation need that will

The third section of the project includes the section of the route from just north of Flaherty Elementary to US 60, and will cost an estimated $8.9 million. This segment of the proposed route is expected to be ready for bids by winter 2010 or spring of next year. The last two sections of the project are still in the design phase, and are currently lacking funding. The portions were included in the transportation operating budget featured in the recently passed state budget, but are currently over-programmed, meaning that there are more projects on the board than funding available. The two sections, from US 60 to north of Holston Road and north of Holston Road to Brandenburg Station Road are being designed, but are included with the over-programmed state funding. The project, which some stages are nearly shovelready, has forced Meade County residents such as Snider out of homes that have fostered many warm memories. “I’d rather stay here for the rest of my life,” Snider said. “But, you can’t stand in the way of progress, if you can call it progress. I don’t.”

be developing as BRAC continues to initialize,” Brown said. “Any time we can improve the highway system, it improves mobility, it improves safety, and it improves economic opportunities.” From Vine Grove, the road will extend to and absorb Highway 144 near Flaherty and then continue to Highway 448 until Highway 1638. The roads will be widened. KY 313 currently extends from Vine Grove to Interstate 65 just north of Elizabethtown, Ky. After the expansion project is completed, the road will also go to Fort Knox. The KY 313 extension from Vine Grove to Brandenburg will be completed in five stages, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. A portion of a $112 million BRAC bond issue will fund the first three projects. The first section of the project includes the path of the new route between KY 1500 in Vine Grove to Rolling Hills Drive in Meade County. That stage of the project is estimated to cost nearly $10 million, and is expected to be bid to contractors in August.

BRANDENBURG — Truck and tractor pull competitors from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, and Alabama will flock to Brandenburg on Saturday, June 12, for the third annual Matt Pike Memorial Truck & Tractor Pull. Brothers Neal and Jason Allen, who organize the event each year, expect a record crowd of 4,500 to be in the pulling arena at the Meade County Fairgrounds for the event. The Allen brothers — along with family members and friends — started the pull two years ago to raise money to carry out the dream of one of their friends, Meade County farmer Matt Pike, who died in 2007 at age 26. At the time he died, Pike was a fifth-generation farmer who started farming when he was only 18 following the death of his father. By 2007, he was farming 2,000 acres.

The dream of this avid basketball player was for Meade County to have a place where young people could play organized and pick-up games at no cost in a safe environment. Thus far, the pull has generated $40,000 to underwrite the cost of remodeling the Meade-Breck Community Center so it will have a fullsize, modern basketball facility that will be named the Matt Pike Memorial Gym. Pulls involving five classes of vehicles are on the schedule: •Light limited super stock tractors. •Pro farm tractors. •Pro stock four-wheel drive trucks. •Super-modified twowheel drive trucks. •Light weight super stock tractors.

Editorial

Friday, June 11, 2010

For years, the areas affected by Fort Knox have been hearing about the significant changes that will be a part of the ripple affect from BRAC changes at the base. Residents in the area were promised an influx of people, waves of jobs to the region, and noticeable progress. Most importantly, a riptide of economic growth was supposed to crest in the area. As reported in last week’s issue of The News Standard, recent activity at Fort Knox is a beacon that the transformation is at hand. At the ribbon cutting of the Lt. Gen. Timothy J. Maude Complex, the Human Resources Center of Excellence, was unveiled, which was a signal that those changes are now coming to fruition. The building, which is the human resources hub for the entire U.S. Army, will house nearly 4,500 jobs for civilian and military workers. The complex, which is one of several completed major construction projects due to BRAC, is just one of many ways that BRAC will make marked improvements in Meade and surrounding counties. The BRAC initiative, when in full swing, will bring nearly 8,000 new jobs to the region. Many of these people will make Meade County their home, and will help fuel the local economy as they begin to rent and buy houses in the county and shop at local stores. Not only have there been changes to the Fort Knox landscape, but it will also be changing the topography of Meade County. The anticipated population increase due to BRAC has made the expansion of certain roads within the county a necessity. KY 313 in Vine Grove will be extended to Brandenburg, a process that will include the widening of state highways 448, 144 and other county roadways. The project is expected to help the flow of traffic and help to ebb congestion on roadways in the wake of a higher concentration of population. The road project is funded considerably by BRAC bonds that were issued, which means the county does not have to pay for the improvements. As the highly anticipated influence of BRAC actualizes, the apprehension and doubt in Meade County should wane. The positive affects of these changes will no doubt make Meade County a better place, and make a huge step toward progress, despite the years we have had to wait. It has been said good things come to those who wait, and the benefits of the BRAC initiative should be well worth it.

Pres faces karma crisis Jeff Greer Kentucky State Rep. We ended the six-day special session by passing a $17 billion two-year spending plan that slashes spending by at least $1 billion from 2009 levels and does not raise a single tax. Governor Beshear and the General Assembly agreed early in the 2010 regular session — which ended in April — that there would be no new taxes in any budget that was passed. The plan, instead, was to reach a deal that would avoid a government shutdown while plugging the expected two-year shortfall. The budget, passed and sent to the governor for his signature last Friday, accomplishes these goals through cuts of 3.5 percent in fiscal year 2011 and 4.5 percent in 2012 for most state agencies — with lesser cuts for postsecondary education and corrections. It includes increased government efficiencies and funding from the revenue plan. Exempt from across-the-board cuts that most agencies will face are Medicaid, merit-based KEES scholarships earned by thousands of Kentucky high school students each year, and per-pupil funding that public schools receive through the state’s SEEK formula designed to equalize education funding among school districts.

areas through 2012, and lawmakers were determined to see the measures passed. Important work on roads, bridges, aviation and other areas can continue because of action taken on these bills in special session. Sent to the governor for his signature along with the road plan and Transportation budget was a list of projects recommended for funding in the last four years of the state’s six-year road plan. Those projects will be completed as funding allows. Although I was not happy about having to be called in to special session to perform a job we should have completed in the Regular Session, I am pleased that we were able to finish within the one-week time period we had set for ourselves (although we had hoped for five days instead of six). But the good thing is the extra day enabled us to take care of the transportation issues left hanging Friday night as midnight approached. I will not accept my salary for the special session, instead allowing the state to keep it. Many of my colleagues are making this same choice. The budget is stark, given our state’s economic situation, but we have hope that our finances will have improved enough by the 2011 regular session that more money can be put into education, human services and other critical areas that have suffered this recession along with so many Kentuckians.

tives to benefit rural and low-income communities through business investment are also part of the revenue legislation. The Executive Branch budget was the top priority this special session, although other state priorities were also taken up and approved. One of those priorities was a bill to shore up the state’s ailing Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. That measure — which is similar to a bill that passed the House but stalled in the Senate in the recent regular session — gained success on Friday when it was given final passage in the Senate. The bill now goes to the governor for his signature. Supporters of the unemployment bill say it will help balance the fund that pays weekly benefits to Kentucky’s thousands of unemployed by gradually reducing the percentage of weekly benefits paid by the state and raising the taxable wage base that determines employer premiums paid into the fund. Employers are expected to save money under the measure, which became necessary after months of high unemployment forced Kentucky to borrow hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to keep the fund afloat. Agreement on a twoyear state road plan and a bill that will fund operations of the Transportation Cabinet were given final passage on Saturday afternoon. The bills will provide funding in several key transportation

The two-year spending plan maintains all 177 instructional days currently on the public school calendar (with one day paid for by school districts and the rest paid for by the state), holds down additional general fund-supported debt, limits agency-fund debt for universities and other entities to around $515 million, adds around $20 million to the state’s “rainy day” budget reserve trust fund, and allows the governor to order furloughs without disproportionately targeting lower-paid workers. Changes to employee and teacher health insurance also ordered by the budget are expected to save the state around $94 million over the two years. Added to the budget in the final hours of the special session was a mechanism for school districts to fund aging schools most in need of replacement. Under that plan, the state will match funding for districts that levy what is called an “equalizing nickel”, or 5 cents per $100 in property value, to fund facilities construction. The money would only go to so-called “Category 5” schools — those facilities considered to be in the worst shape. The revenue plan, also given final passage and sent to the governor Friday, is expected to save the state upwards of $89 million over the budget cycle through tax code changes, including modifications to the state’s new home tax credit and a credit for the film industry.

President Barack Obama said at his BP press conference that when he was shaving the other day, his daughter Malia asked him, “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?” If Obama wanted to give her a quick lesson in how the world works, he might have said: “No, dear, that’s beyond my capacity. I can’t stop oil from gushing from a well 5,000 feet beneath the ocean’s surface. Now, did you do your homework?” Malia can be forgiven for not understanding the limits on her daddy’s power. She’s 11 years old. What’s everyone else’s excuse? If the presidency of the United States is the most powerful and majestic office on Earth, it does not confer omnipotence on the mere mortal who happens to occupy it. Perhaps Obama himself needs to be reminded. A White House aide told a reporter that the president, in a fit of frustration, barked to his aides during one meeting, “Plug the damn hole.” That’s a meaningless order with the world’s best engineers already desperately trying to solve a hellish technical problem. Since the Obama administration’s ethic is never to let a crisis go to waste, Obama says the BP disaster means Congress should pass his energy bill and “answer this challenge, once and for all.” As with much of Obama’s agenda, this is a convenient non sequitur posing as an urgent response. A cap-and-trade bill could have passed years ago and we’d still be drilling offshore. The Outer Continental Shelf

had 4,000 oil and gas facilities as of 2002. Obama proposed even more offshore drilling just a few weeks before the BP spill, an acknowledgment that drilling will be necessary even if he gets his way on an energy bill. Cap-and-trade will increase the cost of petroleum, but not enough to end its usefulness. As Jerry Taylor of the Cato Institute points out, we use 70 percent of our petroleum for transportation, simply because nothing else is as efficient in powering our cars and trucks. In Europe, gas costs $7 a gallon; people still put it in their cars. At his presser, Obama sought to appear in charge, knowing that anything short of that is politically deadly for a president. But he muddled his message. At times, he acknowledged that BP is taking the lead in the response. And he admitted that he didn’t know whether the head of the Minerals Management Service resigned or was fired. Obama can sound analytic to the point of detachment, establishing a critical distance between himself and his own team. Sometimes he referred to his own administration as “they” and “the current administration.” As if his role is only to grade the blue books and offer constructive criticism. In the light of his BP experience, one hopes Obama regrets his slam of President Bush for his “unconscionable ineptitude” in responding to Hurricane Katrina, a larger and more rapid-moving, unforgiving crisis. If nothing else, it’d be karmic payback if critics began accusing Obama of failing to stop the spill because he hates brown pelicans. “Daddy, why haven’t you saved the birds yet?”

Families must unite to assist a loved one who drinks too much James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: My husband drinks excessively. Aside from getting help for my family, what should I do specifically for him? How on earth am I going to get him to go to Alcoholics Anonymous or some similar treatment program? He is deep in denial, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even sure heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking right now. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a rational decision to save his life. How am I going to get him to cooperate? DR. DOBSON: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right about the difficulties you face. Begging wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accomplish anything, and your husband will be dead before he admits he has a problem. Indeed, thousands die each year while denying that they are alcoholics. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Al-Anon teaches family members how to confront in love. They learn how to remove the support systems that prop up the disease and permit it to thrive. They are shown how and when to impose ultima-

tums that force the alcoholic to admit his or her need for help. And sometimes they recommend separation until the victim is so miserable that his or her denial will no longer hold up. In essence, Al-Anon teaches its own version of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;love must be toughâ&#x20AC;? philosophy to family members who must implement it. I asked one recovered alcoholic I know if he was forced to attend Alcoholics Anonymous -- the program that put him on the road to recovery. He said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me put it this way. No one goes to A.A. just because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve nothing better to do that evening. Everyone there has been forced to attend initially. You just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;On Monday night we watched a football game, and on Tuesday we went to the movies. So what will we do on Wednesday? How about going over to an A.A. meeting?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work that way. Yes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I was forced â&#x20AC;&#x201D; forced by my own misery. Pauline allowed me to be miserable for my own good. It was loving duress that moved me to attend.â&#x20AC;? Though it may sound easy to achieve, the loving confrontation that brought Bob to his senses was a delicate maneuver. I must

reemphasize that families should not attempt to implement it on their own initiative. Without the training and assistance of professional support groups, the encounter could degenerate into a hateful, vindictive, name-calling battle that would serve only to solidify the drinkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. Al-Anon Family Groups and Alcoholics Anonymous are both listed in local phone books. Also to be found there is a number of the Council on Alcoholism, which can provide further guidance. For teenagers of an alcoholic parent, there is Alateen. Teens can go there and share without their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; permission or knowledge, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free. QUESTION: Children seem to be growing up at a younger age today than in the past. Is this true, and if so, what accounts for their faster development? DR. DOBSON: Yes, it is true. Statistical records indicate that our children are growing taller today than in the past, probably resulting from better nutrition, medicine, exercise, rest and recreation. And this more ideal physical environment has apparently caused sexual maturity to occur

at younger and younger ages. It is thought that puberty in a particular child is triggered when he or she reaches a certain level of growth; therefore, when environmental and general health factors propel a youngster upward at a faster rate, sexual maturation occurs earlier. For example, in 1850 the average age of menarche (first menstruation) in Norwegian girls was 17.0 years of age; in 1950, it was 13.0. The average age of puberty in females had dropped four years in one century. In the United States, the average age of menarche dropped from 16.5 in 1840 to 12.9 in 1950. More recent figures indicate that it now occurs on average at 12.8 years of age. Thus, the trend toward younger dating and sexual awareness is a result, at least in part, of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast trackâ&#x20AC;? mechanism. 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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Solid Answersâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bringing Up Boys,â&#x20AC;? both published by Tyndale House.

Memorial service honors military veterans Submitted by Karen Burgoon Grace Baptist Church Grace Baptist Church of Ekron dedicated their Sunday morning Memorial Day weekend service to honor the military soldiers who have served in the past and the present with a ground breaking ceremony for their new memorial site. Pastor Dan Newton, a U.S. Air Force retired Vietnam veteran, spoke from his heart during the Sunday service, and a tearful congregation met his fervor in an emotional service and ceremony. Taps was played for soldiers past and present. We reflect upon the Bible verse John 15:13 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.â&#x20AC;? We, at Grace Baptist Church, encourage you to come and see the new memorial site. There are plans to add more to the site in the near future.

ture, never mind that he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found a bride yet. He appointed a committee of friends and family members to find a mate for him. After several months of searching, the committee finally found what they considered the perfect candidate. The man and woman were introduced, and they were married on the date the man had previously set. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be interesting to see how this mar-

riage stands up to the test of time? The committed, without even consulting the bridegroom, made a decision that should have been the bridegroomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to make. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it sad today that many of the decisions made by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bride of Christâ&#x20AC;?, the church, are made in the same way? Too often in the church, significant decisions are made by majority rule,

Looking for a great way to keep up on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on?

without ever consulting Jesus, the bridegroom of the church. Let us never forget that committees and majority votes cannot be allowed to have the ultimate authority in our congregations. Jesus Christ, the one who gave his life for his church, must always have the ultimate authority and the final say. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Turning yards into a piece of art, one job at a time By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard To Eli Dix, mowing lawns and landscaping is more than just a job: it’s an art form. Dix is the owner of Eli’s Lawn Service, a two-year-old business he runs out of his home on Weldon Road. The business offers many services to refresh a lawn such as spring-cleaning, mowing and landscaping. Though, 22-year-old Dix’s sights weren’t always set on working outdoors. At first, Dix went to college to become a teacher. However, he soon found teaching wasn’t his calling. “I always wanted to become a teacher, that’s what I wanted to do,” Dix said. “But, I just didn’t get into school much.” Fortunately, a golden opportunity to work in Fort Knox landscaping, presented itself. Dix had been interested in this field and the Fort Knox job seemed like a good place to get his feet wet. “I like being able to take something that looks like nothing and make it look good,” Dix said. Though local opportunities within the community have been limited, the two-man team making up Eli’s Lawn Service are anxious to show their potential. For example, Dix and business partner Chris

Wardrip had a landscaping job that took a week to complete because the customer’s yard was destroyed by flooding. They brought in three dump truck loads of dirt, installed a draining system and planted grass. “It was a big job but it was worth it,” Dix said. “It paid off … It looks a lot better because he had ruts in his yard. So it really worked.” When it comes to mowing, Dix said it’s all about changing the routine to keep lawns looking their best. “Every time we mow a yard, we mow it a different way, that way its helps the grass grow better,” Dix said. “People mow in circles … that’s OK but that’s not really good for the grass.” With each job completed, Dix feels a sigh of relief, knows he did a good job, and looks forward to the next lawn where he can add his personal touch. “After you mowed a yard you can tell that you’ve done something,” Dix said. “To see that final product like that, I can’t explain how good it feels.” Wardrip agreed with Dix, adding that the best feeling is knowing he put a lot of effort into improving a lawn. “It’s something you can step back and look at and see you’ve done something,” Wardrip said. For Wardrip, working at

New program to help homeowners feeling ‘underwater’ with bills DOLLARS AND SENSE BY David Uffington The Home Affordable Refinance Program has been extended, which is good news for potentially millions of homeowners. Set to expire this summer, the program now will run until June 2011. HARP is aimed at homeowners of properties that are currently worth less than what is due on the note, known as being “underwater.” Because of the homeprice declines of a stillfailing housing market, more and more people are experiencing the loss of equity in their homes. While most underwater homeowners continue to make payments and are current, it’s been reported that when homeowners face losses of equity of more than 25 percent, defaults and foreclosures increase. Foreclosures are up to 4.6 percent of all homeowners now. Some merely walk away from the house when all hope of regaining equity is lost. Without solid loan-tovalue numbers, a homeowner can’t refinance. Without good appraisal numbers — because neighborhood values have fallen — there is no refinance. Homeowners can’t sell their homes, either, if they’ll still owe more than they can get for the house. In many cases, the underwater homeowner is not at fault. Unemployment can cause whole neighborhoods to fall, as owners sell at low prices one

step ahead of foreclosure, bringing down values. To qualify for the refinance program: • You must be current on your mortgage. • Only Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans can participate. • The lender must approve and agree to rewrite the balance of the loan and take at least 10 percent off the principal. • After the refinance, the mortgage amount cannot exceed 115 percent of the value of the home. • The new mortgage payments must be less than 31 percent of your income. • The property must be your primary home. • If you have a second mortgage, the first and second will be combined. • Your FICO credit score must be 500 or above. If you have an interestonly loan or an interest rate that will rise, a HARP refinance can help stabilize your payments by giving you a fixed rate. If you have a high interest-rate loan, a HARP refinance can help reduce your payments. For more information, check the government’s Making Home Affordable site at makinghomeaffordable.gov.

Chris Wardrip (left) and Eli Dix own and operate Eli’s Lawn Service out of Dix’s home in Brandenburg. The business promises to mow lawns right, like it’s an art form. Eli’s Lawn Service means not having to stay inside an office all day. “Being in the sunshine is awesome, you can’t beat it,” Wardrip said. “I hate being inside. So it’s ideal.” Eli’s Lawn Service is in its infancy, but Dix can’t wait to thrive and expand his business.

Dix said his business prides itself on customer service and promises to do everything it can to make lawns look better. “We work really good with our customers,” Dix said. “If they have a problem, they can call us. If they say ‘oh you missed a spot’ or ‘you didn’t mow here,’ we’re willing to

go back … we want to make our customers happy. People count on us to make their yards look good.” As for the future of Eli’s Lawn Service, Dix plans to create his own shop and get more equipment for snow and dirt removal. He also wants to go more in depth with his landscaping abilities

and create a picture book of landscaping projects he has completed. “Landscaping is something I’d really like to do,” he said. “I’d like to do it all.” Eli’s Lawn Service is located on 710 Weldon Rd in Brandenburg. For more information about the business call 270-945-2142 or 270-998-0020.

Horse shows feature descendants of Man O’ War By Casey Tolliver The News Standard The Meade County Saddle Club has kicked off its summer series of open horse shows. Competitors gathered at the Saddle Club’s arena on Fackler Road in Webster for the first show on May 30 and then again on June 4. Cowboys and cowgirls from across the state and even a few from neighboring states competed at the first two shows, which featured some of the best quarter horses in the world. “We’ve got some of the baddest cattle horses in the world here,” Meade County Saddle Club president Scotty Padgett said. “There’s horses here that can go and play the game anywhere.” Several of the horses at the show have competed in the American Quarter Horse Association World Championships in Oklahoma City. Out of those horses are two Meade County horses that are descendants of legendary thoroughbred race horse Man O’ War. Warpion, a quarter horse who shares a bloodline horse racing royalty, is owned by James and Martha Camp-

THE NEWS STANDARD/CASEY TOLLIVER

Avery Wilson gets a lift from his dad Brandon Wilson, left, onto his grandfather Jim Campbell’s horse “Warpion” at a recent Meade County Saddle Club open horse show. bell, of Ekron, competed in the show as well. The blonde Palomino, who was ridden by James in the competition, is a fourtime AQHA pole bending world champion, including two Palomino World Championships and two AQHA World Championships. The world class horse, who has competed in nine world championship

shows, usually finishes in the top three and has never finished outside of the top 10, Martha said. James, who rode horses when he was younger, hadn’t ridden a horse in nearly 20 years, but that all changed when the Campbells got Warpion, according to Martha. “When I brought Warpion home, he said ‘Martha,

I want to show that horse,’” she said. Kid O’ War, who is Warpion’s colt, also competed in the show and was ridden by the Campbell’s daughter, Courtney Campbell Wilson. The colt shares the same birthday as his dignified forefather, Man O’ War. Both horses were born on March 29. The family, who are mem-

bers of the Saddle Club, has sold Warpion’s colts to horse enthusiasts in many places, including New Jersey, Florida, and Pennsylvania, and was even contacted by and sold a colt to a buyer in Brazil. Warpion and Kid O’War shared the arena on May 30 with riders of all ages and experience levels poised on quarter horses from across the state and even a few neighboring states and competed in barrel and pole riding competitions. Riders wove in and out of barrels to see who could get through the course the fastest When the dust settled, many Meade County residents found their names at the top of the score card. In the pee-wee post, Mekenzee Dawson, Jessie Gontermon and Taylor Ray placed first second and third. Mia Ward and Skylar Mills also participated in the event. In the youth barrel race, Montana Metcalf won first and second, while Shelby Headlye also ran the course. In the junior horse poles category, Amanda Hudson

placed first and third, and Rita Mills came in second. Brian Foushee won the open pole class, and was followed by Jim Campbell, who came in second place. Amanda Hudson placed third and Tommy Stinson came in fourth. Haley Carman, Jessie Gonterman, Abbee Lyons, Mekenzee Dawson and Taylor Ray were the top five in the pee-wee barrels. T.J. Hagen, Kevin Isham, and Tommy Stinson were the top three contenders in the flag class. In the youth poles, Heather Ray, Orry Williams and Brina Williams placed first second and third. Amanda Hudson, Tiffany Corder and Robert McMillion competed in the junior horse barrels division. In the adult barrels, John Perkins, Lucas Monroe and Melissa Gonterman each ran the course. The top three competitiors in the open barrels class were Chuck Wathen, Bradee Addison and Montana Metcalf. The club will be hosting six more shows this summer–one more in June, two in July, two in August and one in September.

Weather favorable for another outbreak of tomato blight Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources

Most of us remember the terrible tomato season we had last year. The weather was ideal for the disease early blight and late blight to run ramped. This year’s weather so far has not started out in the tomato plant’s favor. Already some cases of late blight have been confirmed in Kentucky. The following article by Dr. Kenny Seebold, University of Kentucky Plant Pathologist, explains the disease. On May 27, University of Kentucky confirmed a case of late blight on tomatoes from a home garden in the northern Kentucky area. Since that first report, additional cases have been found in Fayette and Clark Counties, and it’s likely

that there are more. In most years, we expect to see very little of this disease and only then at the end of the summer. This marks the second year in a row that this devastating disease of tomato has appeared earlier-thanexpected. The weather conditions that we face for the coming week, fortunately, do not favor development and spread of late blight. Still, it’s likely that the disease has become established in some areas, and we need to be on guard. Taking preventive action is key, and this means being on a regular fungicide schedule. The following is a brief description of late blight and some controls that may be applied. Late blight is caused by Phytophthora infestans, a fungus-like organism, and is a fast-moving and highly destructive disease of tomatoes and potatoes under cool and wet conditions.

Late blight epidemics in the late 1840’s were responsible for the Irish potato famine and subsequent migration of millions of people to the United States. All plant parts are affected, including fruit and tubers. Total losses are common in gardens and fields if control measures are not put in place. Late blight can easily enter greenhouses and high tunnels as well. Early symptoms of late blight are large water-soaked blotches on foliage that will enlarge and form green-tobrown lesions. Sporulation may be evident on the undersides of lesions under moist conditions; this sporulation will be gray to white in color. Necrotic leaf tissue will blacken and shrivel, giving affected plants a blighted appearance. The pathogen will also attack petioles and stems, killing the plant in some cases. Tomato fruit affected by late blight develop as darkened

spots that enlarge over time, and fungal growth may be seen in rotted tissue. Infected fruit are invaded by secondary organisms and develop soft rot. Potato tubers can become infected from spores washed from leaves into the soil and will decay. Preventive fungicide applications are recommended at this point for all Kentucky tomato and potato growers to help combat late blight, and also early blight and septoria (tomato). Growers should not wait to see symptoms of late blight before treating. A good protectant program aimed at late-blight prevention will also aid against other foliar fungal diseases. During favorable conditions, sprays need to be made every five to seven days, and every seven to 10 days during drier weather. If late blight is found, growers should immediately destroy plants in the affected

area plus bordering plants (as these are likely infected). Plants can be sprayed with an herbicide, or removed and disked under. Do not handle plants when they are wet, as this may spread disease; perform this operation when conditions are sunny and dry if possible. At the end of the season, promptly destroy crop residues. Do not leave cull piles out in the open, as the pathogen can spread or potentially survive in this residue. Bury this material if at all possible. Regular scouting of plantings, and prompt removal of infected plants is an important consideration. In home gardens, regular application of fungicides is less common than in commercial fields. Few fungicides are available to home gardeners; however, products containing chlorothalonil, maneb/ mancozeb, or fixed copper are the tools of choice. These should be applied

regularly, and the user should refer to the product label for rates, PHI, and safety precautions. These products, as mentioned earlier, will not function well if pressure is high or if disease is present before spray programs are started. Control measures for organic producers are similar to those recommended for home gardeners. OMRI-approved fungicides such as fixed-copper (depends on the product) can be used in a preventive program. Other OMRI-approved products include: Sporatec, Sonata, Serenade Max, Oxidate, and Companion. As with the protectants recommended for home gardeners, these products do not perform well under high disease pressure or if disease is present prior to treatment. Consult product labels for rates, PHI, and safety precautions. For more information, contact the Meade County Extension Office at 422-4958.

Bo Wilson pitched throws a pitch against Daviess County.

2010 Greenwave Baseball

The Daviess County Panthers played a near-perfect first five innings during the 3rd Region Baseball Tournament semifinals game played on June 3, in Whitesville, Ky., while Meade County Greenwave’s blemishes cost them an early deficit. Three Meade County errors in the first three innings resulted in three unearned runs for Daviess County who went on to win 5-1. “You can’t make mistakes early against a good team,” said Meade County head coach Todd Clanton. “We’ve talked about that against Ballard and Butler and it seemed to come up again against Daviess County.”

Two weeks earlier Meade County faced tough teams such as Ballard and Butler where errors proved to be the difference between a win and a loss. “We’ve been fielding all week,” said senior outfielder JB Greer. “That’s something we focus on but errors happen. They just came at the wrong time.” Daviess County gave the Greenwave a little taste of their own medicine by playing small ball. There were several bunt situations that were executed and they received timely hits with runners in scoring position. In a perfectly executed suicide bunt play during the third inning, Daviess See ERRORS, page B3

Program moves in the right direction By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard Though last week’s season-ending 3rd Region Tournament loss is still fresh in the Meade County Greenwave baseball team, the leaps and bounds the program has made the last three years have been astounding. “With tears in my eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is sadness,” senior outfielder JB Greer said after playing his last game at Meade County. “But really, I should be joyful to have the opportunity to be a Greenwave. It’s a sense of pride.” With back-to-back district championships, the Greenwave claimed its first winning season in more than 10 years. In 2006 the team was only able to make it to .500 with a 16-16 record and was 14-14 in 2002. Last year, the team barely missed out on a .500 record (12-16), but won its first district title since 2007. Meade County lost in the first round of the 3rd Region Tournament to eventual state qualifier Owensboro High School, but this year the team progressed and won its first region tournament game since 2006. Again, the Greenwave lost to eventual state qualifier Daviess County. “I feel like we’re heading into the right direction,” second year head coach Todd Clanton said. “We deserve to play in these kind of games and we didn’t luck into them. That’s where we are at right now.” If the Greenwave continues to improve, they should be region contenders the next few years. They return six starters next year with a deep class of incoming juniors. Led by battery Bo Wilson and Brady Smith, the team returns pivotal players such as incoming senior outfielder Brenton Smith, senior second baseman Scott King and sophomore first baseman Jake Wilson. The team graduates three starters — seven seniors in all. During their sophomore year the team hit an all-time low when they went 5-15 and lost in the opening round of the district tournament “If you would have asked me two years ago, I would have had much to say,” Greer said about the grueling 2008 See BASEBALL, page B2

Season ending

Walk off Marathon game ends with home run, ends Lady Waves remarkable season

By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard Just one swing of the bat separated the Meade County Lady Waves softball team from their second consecutive appearance in the 3rd Region Championship game. In a gridlock 11-inning marathon of a game — which included an hourlong rain delay — No. 10 Butler County hit a walkoff, two-run homer in the bottom of the 11th to win the game, 2-0 on June 3. “It was just a tough game and they came out

on top,” said senior second baseman Mallory Wathen. “They got the timely hit and we didn’t.” In a pitcher’s dual, Lady Waves starting sophomore pitcher Amanda Logsdon and Butler County’s junior pitcher Cheyanne Gaskey went toe-to-toe. However, it was Butler County’s senior catcher Kristin Palmer who belted a shot over the left field fence to end the game. “I’m sad and disappointed in myself,” Logsdon said, who gave up the home run on a rise pitch. “I think they just

kind of knew what was coming. They saw me for 11 innings. Any batter is going to know what’s coming after seeing (a pitcher) that much.” Logsdon threw a nearperfect game and allowed only three hits in 11 innings. She gave up the first hit in the second inning and didn’t allow another hit until the bottom of the final inning. “Amanda Logsdon pitched one heck of a game,” Meade County head coach Mike Harreld See WALK OFF, page B3

2010 Meade County Track & Field

MCHS track team has a successful state meet By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI

Junior Zach Bowen finished 20th at the state meet in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:14.54.

Meade County High School track and field head coach Larry Garner had flashes of last year’s state track meet during the first hour of Saturday’s 3A state meet at the University of Louisville. Last year’s meet was not a good day for Garner and his team, who only managed to put three runners on the podium. “It started out just as awful as last year,” Garner said. “The girls 4x800 absolutely tanked. They ran 40 seconds slower than last year. I was worried to death that it was going to be like last year. But as the day went on things definitely got better.” The girls 4x800-meter relay struggled in the mid-day sun where hot temperatures and muggy air played a visible part in the slow times. “I died, I admit it,” Carly Evans said, who ran the

third leg of the relay and labored the last 200 meters. “I was dead legged.” “The 4x800 was the most upsetting for me because I really wanted to win that one — and we could have,” said junior Tiffany Brown. “But the heat got to us.” The momentum turned around for Meade County when junior Cody Stockwell placed a surprising sixth place in the discus throw. Earlier in the week, Stockwell didn’t even know if he was going to qualify for the state meet. He ended up being the third to last thrower to make the cut. “Cody Stockwell really started the day off for us,” Garner said. “He wasn’t even supposed to be in the top nine finishers. He had an amazing performance.” Stockwell threw 144 feet and 5 inches, nearly 18 feet further than he threw at the See STATE, page B2

region meet. The throw was also 13 feet further than his personal best. “That’s hard to do,” he said. “When you’re getting up in the numbers I am at, it’s hard to do. I just practiced. All this week I knew what I was screwing up all year and I wanted to fix it at state.” Stockwell may have found a new way to wear his jersey, too. He was unaware that he had worn his shirt inside out the entire day. “I didn’t know it was inside out,” he said, laughing and looking down at his backwards “MC” on his shirt. “I’m going to wear this jersey all next year. When I give this to coach I’m going to put my name on it so I’ll have it next year.” The first place finisher, Male’s senior Kyle Jenkins, threw 193 feet good enough for the 3A state record. Stockwell not only has his eyes set for a first place finish next year, but also the state record. “The top finishers were all seniors,” he said. “Going into next year I’m first already. It’s going to be exciting. I’m hoping to beat Kyle Jenkin’s record. “One-hundred and ninetythree was my bus number when I was little. I think that’s an omen.” The boys 4x800-meter relay team finished in seventh place with a time of 8:19.23. “We’ve never placed in this relay,” Garner said. “We finished seventh. We were hoping to place last year. They ran well — it wasn’t their best time — but they got to the podium.” The day progressed at the University of Louisville track along with Meade County’s times. Carly Evans finished sixth in the long jump and fourth in the 200-meter dash. She admitted that starting the day with the 4x800-meter relay event drained her energy. “I don’t think I ever recovered from that,” she said. “I know that I was tired but I kept pushing all day. I beat Ballard (in the 200-meter dash). I was trying to beat her. She beat me at (the season’s first indoor meet at the University of Kentucky), so I wanted to beat her badly.” During the final event, the 4x400-meter relay, Evans helped the team to a second place finish in the state. They were edged out by three-time state champions Campbell County. Evans was the anchor of the relay team but was unable to catch the state’s best 400-meter runner, Anna Carrigan. “She’s a quick runner,” Evans said of Carrigan. “Coach Garner told me she was a fast runner, but we’ve never ran against them. We did a good

Baseball From page B1 season. “Now I have pride. I know everything is going in the right direction.” “We were young my sophomore year,” senior pitcher and shortstop Justin Amburgey said. “We stuck together and played hard. Most players would quit after a season like that. But we stuck together and fought hard as a team.” The group of seniors didn’t quit and soon had a new coaching staff heading into the 2009 season. Clanton came in with the group of talented freshmen and committed junior class. The first season saw marked improvement as the team recorded seven more wins than the previous year. The two-year coach has a .492 winning percentage and has changed the Greenwave baseball culture to a winning tradition from a losing one. “We’re turning it around,” Bo Wilson said after winning the district championship. “This program was a little weak but coach Clanton came in and turned things around. We’ve gone to work. There’s a lot more passion and emotion. People care about it now.” The caring also started

job. They didn’t get that win easily. I didn’t want to just hand them the win. They were going to have to work for it.” “Their anchor is an amazing runner,” Garner added. “Even if Carly would have gotten the baton side by side, it would have been tough. (Carrigan) has never been beaten in the 400.” During the second leg of the race, senior Shelby Jenkins was surrounded by runners and was unable to make a move to break out. “I think we could have won,” said Marley Stanfield, who also finished fourth in the 400-meter dash. “If we didn’t get trapped like that we would have won.” Meade County did have the best time heading into the event, but only by threetenths of a second. “We knew it was going to be neck-and-neck,” Garner said. “We knew we had to run a perfect race to beat Campbell County. We ran a really good race but to beat them you have to run perfect. They are the three time state champion.” Leaping over a momentous mental hurdle, Brown finished fifth in the state in the 300-meter hurdles. During the previous years, she has tripped over a hurdle at the state meet and did not reach the top-eight podium, even though she was ranked in the top four each year. “I got over that,” Brown said, who also finished 11th in the 100-meter hurdles. “Now I just need to run faster. I don’t know, I don’t think of it as a different race, but I guess it just gets at me. I could have ran a lot faster than I did.” Tiffany ran more than two seconds slower than her fastest time, which would have put her in the top three. “She still didn’t run a great time,” Garner said. “She placed. I think it was just finishing that race. At least we didn’t have to carry her off the track this time. Hopefully this will catapult her into next year. Maybe next year she can make a run for first place.” Junior Tyler Blair competed in the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200-meter run and finished 14 and 21 respectively. “He struggled in the mile, but the two-mile he looked good,” Garner said. “He ran a five second (personal record).” Junior Zach Bowen finished 20th in the 800-meter run, while sophomore LeAnna Luney finished in 19th in the shot put. The boys 4x400-meter relay finished 14th. Overall, the girls team finished 11th in the state, while the boys team finished in 23rd. Male won the overall boys championship and Campbell County took the girls state crown. “Again, I’m pretty proud of the team,” Garner said. “I with the senior class. The close-knit group of players has been the focal point of the program’s turnaround. Daniel DeRossett was the team’s No. 3 hitter while providing power and consistency. Greer captained the team on and off the field, Amburgey was fundamentally sound, while Tyler Yates had one of the biggest endof-the-season hitting streaks to help the Greenwave get over the .500 mark. “It was awesome playing with these guys,” Greer said. “It’s one of those bonds that you can’t put in words. We’re not going to the same colleges next year. This is my last opportunity to be together and be a part of something together.” After the loss to Daviess County, the team embraced the senior group. Tears were shed and memories were made. “It’s the little things that you’re going to remember,” Greer said. “Those are the special times that are going to stick with us for the rest of our lives.” But new memories are still going to be made as the program progresses into the future. Now it’s time to progress forward even further. “The senior class has kind of lit the torch, now it’s time for the younger guys to carry it on,” Clanton said.

The Lady Waves gather in the middle of the field after their loss to Butler County.

Walk Off From page B1 said of his pitcher who faced 39 batters, walked one and had a seasonhigh 10 strikeouts. “She deserves to win the game. I don’t think I’ve seen her pitch as well as she did all year long. You can’t take anything away from her.” The game was Logsdon’s longest outing as a Lady Wave and ended the season with an 18-5 record. “This is probably one of the longest games I’ve ever pitched,” she said. “Your adrenaline kicks in halfway through the game. It’s nerve-racking and you can definitely feel the pressure out there.” While Logsdon was every bit of a shutout pitcher, her counterpart from Butler County was just as good. She only allowed the Lady Waves offense six hits in the game, which was the first time the offense had been shut out this year. “We had plenty of opportunities to score,” Harreld said. “Their pitcher is everything they said she was. That was the first time we were shut out this year.” Wathen, sophomore Kristin Benton, eighthgrader Ashley Nikolao, junior Scarlett Powers, senior Erin Sireno and sophomore Nicole Brown each had a hit in the game. However, the team left 10 runners on base. “We faced a really good pitcher,” Sireno said. “She had a great riseball. A lot of us fall for that pitch because it’s up at our eyes. We were all swinging at it and we fell for her curveball, too.” With one out during the bottom of the ninth inning, the game was delayed an

hour due to lightning. The break actually relieved some of Logsdon’s tension. “It helped calm me down. It gave me a breather,” she said. “It felt like I was out there a lot because there were back to back three outs for both teams. It relaxed me and I cooled down. I came out a little bit stronger after that.” Once the teams resumed the game, Wathen opened up the offense for the Lady Waves with a triple at the top of the 10th inning with one out. She was stranded on third after a pop up caught in foul territory and a strikeout. “You’re on third base and one out and you have your two, three batters up, how could you not think you’re going to score,” Wathen said. “Everyone did what they could. No one should feel down about anything.” The Lady Waves had a similar opportunity in the eighth inning, with the bases loaded and Wathen on third base. The team only had one out but was unable to score the go-ahead run. Harreld sheered away from bunting the run in. “We had an opportunity to do something,” Harreld said. “As I was coming off (the field), I knew I should have bunt with Scarlett Powers and their first baseman playing so deep. It’s one of those things where I should have done it that time.” “Again, bases loaded one out and you have our best hitters on the team up to bat,” Wathen said. “I mean we just couldn’t get a hit. That’s pretty much it.” The missed opportunities and the one pitching mistake, which resulted in a home run, ended the Lady Waves season. The team finished 32-6. Meade County only had

two seniors on its roster — Wathen and Sireno. With both seniors playing on the right side of the field and batting at the top of the lineup the holes will not be easily filled. “I don’t know if we’ve had any better than those two, and we’ve had some good ones come through here,” Harreld said. “They are classy kids and they work extremely hard. They want to win as bad as anyone. We’re going to miss those two a lot.” The senior duo will play college softball next year — Wathen at Campbellsville and Sireno at Bellarmine. “It would be a lot sadder if me and Erin weren’t going to play college ball next fall,” Wathen said. “It’s still sad. We’re not going to step out with these teammates anymore.” The team does return eight starters including both of the teams top pitchers — Logsdon and sophomore Brittany Lancaster. The two of them tallied for all 32 wins this season and pitched 236 innings. “I think our pitchers will have to work hard this winter,” Harreld said. “The kids will have a lot of work to do. Next year we’re going to have to tighten up the schedule a little bit. We have to be used to seeing pitching like we did tonight.” Sireno feels confident that she is leaving a team ready to go contend for a state title next season. “I think they can go all the way next year,” she said. “They are ready to be the leaders. Even this year, me and Mallory had to remind them that they were still juniors. I think they are already great leaders and they should have a great senior year.”

County scored its fifth run of the game, while sophomore pitcher Bo Wilson fielded the ball and threw it to first. The ball clipped freshman first baseman Jake Wilson’s glove and rolled into foul territory, rendering the runner safe at first. The play not only extended Daviess County’s lead, 5-0, but it encapsulated how the game went for Meade County: Good for the Panthers, bad for the Greenwave “If we don’t make the errors we’re looking at a 2-1 game,” Clanton said. “Then we are able to do some things.” Nerves may have played a role in the errors. This was the furthest the Greenwave have been in the region tournament in three years. “This is the biggest game we’ve played in and you can tell early,” Clanton said. “We started to settle down later in the

game but then we’re in a hole.” The offense picked it up in the fourth inning where junior outfielder Brenton Smith broke up Daviess County junior pitcher Mitchell Owens’s no-hitter with a single. During the sixth inning, Smith scored Meade County’s lone run when senior third baseman Daniel DeRossett hit a two-out double. The offense was able to scatter five hits in the game, despite hitting the ball consistently into the field of play. “We got down and it’s tough to come back when you hit some hard balls but it’s right at their players,” Clanton said. “You feel like you can’t get a break. I give credit to them (Daviess County) for making the plays.” Bo Wilson took the mound and had a solid performance despite the score. “It was a gusty performance,” Clanton said of his pitcher who went six innings, gave up two earned runs and struck out four.

“His ankle was still bothering him. He battled. Errors can sometimes change the way the scoreboard looks even though he pitched a good game.” Wilson injured his ankle during the 11th District Championship game where he was hit with a line drive on May 25. Since that game, the Greenwave played only one game, which was the region opener on May 31. Rain postponed the Greenwave’s game against Daviess County for two days. That may have affected Meade County, too, according to Clanton. “I think it was tough,” he said. “I think the kids were ready to play and we were in a groove. Then you’re back to practice and your going over the fundamentals. It’s hard to keep your focus. It’s June and you just want to play.” The loss ended the Greenwave season. The team went 19-16, which included its second 11th District Championship in a row.

Local 16-year-old leads Kentucky trophy deer list a buck because of my dad and my uncle,” Bryant said. “It’s always been in my family. And I’m not going to stop.” Two more female hunters round out this unprecedented year. Spencer County’s Michaella “Mikie” Monroe was just 14 years old when she shot the biggest deer taken in Kentucky for the 2009-10 season. The buck scored an incredible 219 5/8, putting it in the top 30 deer with nontypical antlers ever taken in Kentucky. Mitzi Mobley of Berea shot a 160 4/8 typical buck in Madison County. I hope these four women are a sign of even better things to come for Kentucky hunting. More women in the field may be one of our best chances to turn around a decline in hunter numbers. And with deer like these, it’s easy to see what’s in it for the hunters themselves. “I’ve hunted since I was 12 and the only bucks I’ve gotten have been spikes,” Davis said. “So anything can happen at any time.” The 2010-11 Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide, available in early July, will include a complete list of trophy deer from the 2009-10 season, as well as several photographs of the deer and their hunters. The guide will be available online at www.fw.ky. gov and wherever hunting licenses are sold.

By Hayley Lynch Ky. Fish and Wildlife Depart. FRANKFORT, Ky. – Every year, during production of Kentucky’s annual hunting and trapping regulation guide, I get to peruse photos, letters and official scoring sheets from hunters who took Kentucky’s largest deer the previous season. I always enjoy seeing these incredible animals, all of them evidence of a healthy and thriving deer herd. These deer and the hunters who spend months or even years pursuing them put Kentucky in the top five states in the country for deer considered trophies under the Boone and Crockett Club scoring system. But this year, something else stood out. All of our previous trophy deer lists had one thing in common – the hunters were almost always male. In fact, in five years of producing our guide I had received only one trophy deer taken by a female hunter. But this year was different. Four of the 40 deer currently on the list were taken by women. Even more impressively, three of those women are teenagers. Andrea Davis, a 19-yearold hunter from Ohio County, took a 14-point buck with typical antlers that scored 165 1/8 in the Boone and Crockett

Club’s official scoring system. She thinks this year’s results are part of an overall trend. She says more girls and women are hunting deer. “I’m seeing a lot of kids going hunting with their dads,” Davis said. “I think women are seeing what’s out there, what they can bring home.” Davis was hunting with her father Thanksgiving morning in Muhlenberg County when they heard antlers crashing near the edge of a Conservation Reserve Program field. They were on their way to a tree stand, but the sound of nearby deer changed their plans. “We just sat down right there,” Davis said. “We saw two does, but they busted us. Then we saw a 9-pointer. I was getting ready to shoot him, but decided to wait.” The wait paid off when the trophy 14-pointer stepped out of the woods. “All I could say was, ‘Horns!’” Davis remembered. “My dad told me, ‘Please don’t look at the horns.’ I braced my gun on a little sapling and took a shot.” The deer ran only 40 yards after the 20-yard shot from Davis’s .30-06. Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Bryant of Meade County shot her first buck on opening day of the 2009 season. The 22-point deer with non-typical antlers scored 196 6/8. “I’ve always wanted to get

Camp teaches students to look at the world in a new light By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Local students recently got a chance to reach for the stars and learned to see the world beyond their back yards. Flaherty Elementary held its first Telescope Camp Monday, for approximately 23 fifth and sixth graders from various local schools. Students were chosen because of high MAP test scores and were considered the top in their class. “The goal of this camp is to excite and educate these kids, open their eyes and possibly give them a career path,” said Henry Sipes, the mastermind behind the camp. When Flaherty Elementary Principal Amanda Richardson was approached by Sipes to host the telescope camp, she was supportive from the get go. “I was very excited because I wanted our students to be able to have an opportunity like this to learn about space,” she said. “For the kids to have an opportunity like this, it’s just amazing.” Sipes volunteered to put on the camp, through his work with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for NASA. Sipes was recently selected to be an ambassador for the program and as part of his service hours, he is required and delighted to spread the good news of astronomy.

According to Sipes, President Barack Obama approached the JPL program in hopes of raising low math and science scores of students. So in a short amount of time, Sipes was able to put this camp together. “The main theme of the camp is light,” Sipes said, the mastermind behind the camp. “It shows them how we use light in technology.” Sipes taught light technology to students by taking them to his job, SamTec to show students how the company uses lasers to build and destroy things. Another aspect of the camp is using algebra and a constructive hands-on use of mathematics. Students learned by watching movies, listening to lectures, and by working in a workbook. After each movie, students discussed some of the connections made with the movie they watched and some of the things they interpreted during camp. At the conclusion of camp, students got to put their education into action by building their own optical telescope. Once each telescope was completed, they were able to take it home with them. Sipes hopes the telescopes will spark the students’ interests in astronomy as it did for him. “Once I saw the moon through a telescope something snapped,” Sipes said

Madrigals help the community with song,dance

Meade County Farmerʼs Market

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Former and current members of Meade County High School’s Madrigals lent a helping hand in the community Saturday as they performed and served food to the traveling Good Sam’s Club at the Farm Bureau Building. “I think it’s a great opportunity for the high school students to connect with the community,” said former assistant choir director Mary “Gibbie” Horsley. According to Horsley, the Madrigals began performing at this event almost 11 years ago with the help of former choir director Shirley Jones and former CAPS president Debbie Simmons. In fact, Simmons said the connection between the Good Sam’s Club and the Madrigals started simply through a dare. The Good Sam’s Club had hired caterers without much success due to food restrictions from some of its members. Simmons said they knew of a group of students who could serve healthy dinners and add some entertainment, but no one thought she could do it. The Madrigals proved themselves from the beginning. The first performance went great and they catered to everyone’s needs when serving the food. According to Kentucky State Director Diane Mulkins, the Good Sam’s Club is a traveling organization that makes different stops with other chapters

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Megan Swinehart, Kelsey Adams and Shay McCleavy perform “Easy Street,” from the musical Annie at the Farm Bureau Building Saturday. around the country. Their goal is to raise money for the community, but have fun at the same time. Some of the fun and laughs include poking fun at one of their members for running over an orange safety cone, playing golf cart baseball and beanbag baseball. “It’s like a big family reunion,” Mulkins said. “We have a lot of fun.” Mulkins added that the money they raised in Brandenburg would benefit the Crusade for Children. Much like Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts, Good Sam’s Club members are given a vest to distinguish themselves and after attending “samborees” or participating in events, they received patches.

Door prizes such as cash, grilling items, t-shirts and candy were given out by members of the Good Sam’s Club. Towards the end of the event, the Madrigals students performed a variety of songs for the Good Sam’s Club, including some routines from the 33rd Annual Wave Review. “It’s a good group,” Simmons said. “It’s a win, win situation.” The full list of performers include: •Alexis Cundiff sang “I Can’t Say No,” from the musical Oklahoma. •Chase McIntosh and Andrew Hubbard performed “Your Guardian Angel,” by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. •The Madrigals per-

•The next time you get a chance, you might want to check the pressure of your car’s tires; if they’re not inflated to the correct pressure, you’re contributing to the $9 million in fuel that is wasted due to improper tire pressure, according to the Department of Energy. •If you ever go to Rome, one of the sights that must be seen is the Trevi Fountain, the elaborate Baroque installment that was completed in 1762. According to legend, anyone who throws a coin in the fountain is ensured a return visit to Rome. This is, evidently, a popular tradition; every night approximately $3,500 is retrieved from the fountain. The money is used to fund a supermarket for the city’s needy. •Due to the rising prices of the materials used to mint coins, it now costs 2 cents to manufacture every penny and 9 cents to make a nickel. •In 2006, an Illinois police officer was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. This probably would not be noteworthy, except that it was the same police officer who received an award for making the most DUI arrests in his county. •Thought for the Day: “I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later.” -- Mitch Hedberg (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A plan you’ve kept on hold for a long time finally could be greenlighted. But in typical Aries form, you’ll need to be sure that everything is in place before you hit the “start” button. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Others might urge you to act more quickly on your ideas. But you’d be wise to follow your Bovine instincts and get more facts to bolster your position when you finally present it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be tempted to accept the well-meaning offer of a friend to act as an intermediary in a dispute. But you know best what it’s about, and you can handle the challenge. Good luck. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Entertainment can play an important role this week. Enjoy some wellearned diversion with people you care about. Something especially wonderful might come from this well-spent time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps and playtime are in order for Leos and Leonas who need to take some time off from their hectic schedules to restore their energies and rebuild their mental muscles. Have fun. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Virgos will need to keep an open mind this week about choices that seem improbable. A closer study might well reveal possibilities that might have been overlooked. Stay with it. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A disappointing outcome of a well-intentioned effort should be seen as a lesson in how to do it right the next time. Note all your changes and have your new plan set up by week’s end. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Travel plans might need readjusting because of changes in the costs previously agreed to. Deal with the problem as quickly as possible to minimize any delays that might result. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your honest approach to an unsettling experience draws admiration from others. Use their positive feedback to build support for your program to introduce needed changes. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Travel is strong in your aspect this week, and so is nostalgia! You might want to consider planning a trip to a place that holds some very special meaning for you. Bon voyage. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A job-related situation could provide an opportunity you hadn’t considered before. Look it over carefully and see where and how you can tailor it to fit your needs. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Showing strength as well as sympathy helps you deal with a difficult personal matter. It also helps you set an example for others when it’s their turn to get involved in the situation. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making people feel comfortable without losing one whit of your own dignity in the process. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Any taxpayer still aggrieved by an assessment on real property, after the conference with the PVA or designated deputy, may appeal to the county board of assessment appeals. The taxpayer can appeal his assessment by filing in person or sending a letter or other written petition stating the reasons for appeal, identifying the property and stating the taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion of the fair cash value of the property. The appeal must be filed with the county clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office no later than one work day following the conclusion of the inspection period. A taxpayer failing to appeal to the county board of assessment appeals, or failing to appear before the board, either in person or by designated representative, will not be eligible to appeal directly to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals. Appeals of personal property assessments shall not be made to the county board of assessment appeals. Personal property taxpayers shall be served notice under the provisions of KRS 132.450 (4) and shall have the protest and appeal rights granted under the provisions of KRS 131.110. The following steps should be taken when a taxpayer does not agree with the assessed value of personal property as determined by the property valuation administrator.
