New treasury program is right on the money

By Casey Tolliver The News Standard When Kentucky Treasurer Todd Hollenbach created the Treasure Finders Kentucky program, he had one thing in mind — returning millions of dollars in unclaimed properties back to their rightful owners.

Treasure Finders Kentucky, which targets each Kentucky county indi-

vidually in an effort to return unclaimed properties, made a stop in Meade County last week to try and locate nearly 2,000 Meade County residents who have unclaimed property.

“It’s a critical time to do everything we can to get this money back to the community,” Hollenbach said The program, which features a

ROTC cadets endure agonizing temperatures and the piercing sun to prove their mettle during the Leader’s Training Course at Fort Knox.

By Casey Tolliver The News Standard Nearly 1,500 college juniors are giving up a large chunk of their summer to get up at 5:45 a.m. every morning to face grueling conditions and rigorous training.

The students, who are cadets in the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Leader’s Training Course at Fort Knox, are spared no expense from the unusually high temperatures and piercing sun as they train and compete to make their mark to possibly earn

college scholarships and maybe even a spot as an Army officer.

The cadets, who are enrolled in the 45th LTC, will squeeze a four semester training course into 29 exhausting days.

The course, which is available to college juniors with no military training who want to see if the ROTC program is right for them, is not only designed to get cadets out of their comfort zone and receive necessary training in a condensed amount of time. The LTC also assists in developing leadership characteristics for the Army and day-to-day life,

Corvette is Ky.’s state sports car Staff Report The News Standard

A distinctive, high performance Chevrolet Corvette sits outside of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. The Corvette was recently named the Kentucky state sports car.

Gov. Steve Beshear signed a bill last week establishing a law, which named the Corvette as the official state sports car of Kentucky, according to a press release.

The car was officially named the state’s sports car when Beshear visited the Corvette production plant in Bowling Green to sign House Bill 104 on June 22.

“Sports car enthusiasts have been in love with the Corvette since it was first unveiled in the Motorama show in New York, in 1953,” Gov. Beshear said in the release. “For nearly 30 years, See CORVETTE, Page A8

Cruz won Miss Teen Ky. in February.

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

To Candice Cruz, a day in the life of a beauty pageant contestant is all about dressing up, meeting new friends and gaining confidence.

“It all depends on your standpoint,” Cruz said. “(Pageants) can be bad but I see it as having self-confidence, poise and going out there and feeling beautiful about yourself.”

Cruz, a sophomore at University of Kentucky and a 2009 Meade County High School graduate, was crowned Miss Teen Kentucky in February.

When she received the prestigious crown, Cruz was speechless.

“Oh my gosh, it’s just really exciting,” she said. “I didn’t cry … It was just happiness and excitement.”

Now, Cruz is well on her way to bring See QUEEN, Page A2

more prestige to the county as she prepares for the Miss Teen United States Pageant, which will be held July 16 in Las Vegas. After that, it ‘s her dream to participate in the Miss America pageant.

With the pageant only a few weeks away, Cruz is getting anxious but is setting her sights on doing her best and calming her nerves.

“I’m taking it one day at a time,” Cruz said. “It’s starting to get surreal because it doesn’t feel like it should be happening.”

With her bubbly and cheerful personality, it’s easy to see that Cruz will do well. In fact, her philanthropic work can speak for itself. Cruz participated in the Dove Campaign, volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House, is highly involved with her sorority Alpha Delta Pi and is working specifically with UK to create three different activities for incoming freshman.

She is also working as a tour guide at UK and teaches an orientation course, all while working on her babysitting jobs in Louisville.

Prior to Miss Teen Kentucky, Cruz competed in other pageants in the area and was MCHS’ football Homecoming Queen. She was also first runner-up in the America’s Homecoming Queen Pageant.

“I think I did seven pageants last summer and I’ve done three so far this season,” she said.

Cruz wanted to get involved and her mother supported her every step of the way. Her mother did not force her to participate in pageants; it was all up to Cruz.

“My mom never pushed me in any of it,” Cruz said.

“She’s just along for the ride, it was all my idea.”

In the months leading to the event, Cruz admits it is a bit nerve racking but it’s all about how she presents herself and knowing she is going to do the best she can.

“You have to go in thinking that it’s the judge’s opinion and that you’re there to have fun, you’ve worked really hard and the work is going to pay off,” she said. “You just have to do your best and hope that is what the judges are looking for.”

Candice Cruz, a 2009 Meade County High School graduate, attends the University of Kentucky, where she majors in broadcast journalism.

A lot of thought also goes into the type of outfits she will wear for the event. For example, a few weeks ago Cruz spent more than an hour and a half trying on over 30 dresses at a department store. She had to go through many dresses to find the perfect dress, which ended up being a combination of pageant dress and a prom dress.

“There is a big difference and people don’t see that,” she said. “The beading is completely different, beading for prom is bigger, not as detailed and there (are) multiples of them … Pageant (dresses) there are maybe three or four of one dress.”

For Cruz, it’s all about what a person is looking for and the image she wants to portray.

“We did get a pageant/ prom dress, which means it’s a pageant gown but it’s made in bulk,” she said.

“So we got a couple because they were on sale so if someone has my dress we have a back up.”

In fact, Cruz ran into a situation where another girl was wearing the same dress.

But it was pageant time, and Cruz just had to work with what she had.

“Sometimes you really don’t have any other choice,” she said. “You just have to go with it.”

Once she is on stage, the only thought running through Cruz’s head is to

keep smiling and look at the judges.

“A trick that my coach taught me is when you look at the judges have a conversation in your head with them so that your facial expressions will match them,” she said. “You need to have time with each judge. You need to have enough time on stage because if not, you’re going to go really fast because you’re not thinking.”

When it comes to the atmosphere backstage, it usually depends on the amount of space that is available.

“If it’s a big space all the girls are spread out and we kind of keep in our own zone and don’t pay any attention,” Cruz said. “But when there is smaller spaces it kind of gets a little hectic and crazy.”

As for right now, Cruz has a special place where she keeps her crown: on top of her dresser in a clear sparkly box. After her next pageant, the crown has a special place on a shelf waiting for it.

“This title isn’t just me, it’s everybody that has been going towards it,” she said.

“I feel that backing would just be so helpful to my family and everyone right now.

If (business owners) ever need an appearance or need me to help with anything I would be more than happy to help.”

OPINION

Friday, June 25, 2010

Editorial Hopefully the phrase “you don’t know what you have, until you lose it,” works in the case of Otter Creek Park.

With last week’s announcement that the City of Louisville will hand the reigns of the park over to Kentucky’s Department of Fish and Wildlife and re-open in 2011 should bring smiles to outdoor enthusiasts around the area.

More than a year ago, the gates were closed and it felt like a Meade County limb was severed off. It was sad to drive by on Hwy. 1638 and see the looming steel gates shutting the park off to the world; the park laid quiet on hot days rather than filled with echoes of children playing in the cool creek water.

After shutting down the park, groups formed protesting the closure and demanding its reopening. Those group’s voices were heard and now they have won the battle.

The biggest concern at this point is the notion of having to pay to access the park. Hopefully those in charge of putting a price tag on admission keep in mind that parks are one of the best ways to spend a day without spending much money.

If the price is too high, we may be back to square one where the park will remain unused and abandoned. Then what have we learned from history?

We mustn’t forget this past year, without the park. It should remain a firm reminder of the gem Otter Creek Park truly is and we hope that everyone’s heart has grown fonder since its closure.

With that being said, the re-opening should be a fresh start for the park and us. Let’s make it count so we don’t have to go through the heartbreak again. This is our chance to get a breath of fresh air while breathing a breath of fresh air into a Meade County landmark.

Letter to the Editor What planet are you from?

I am disappointed in Gov. Steve Brashear, Louisville Mayor Jerry Abrasom, and State Representative Jeff “Frog” Greer.

Spending tax payers money to re-open Otter Creek Park is irresponsible when some of the people in Meade County are out of work.

Not to mention people won’t be able to pay the fees to enter the park because of unemployment. I feel that this is a blatant waste of taxpayer’s money that could be put to better use, like creating jobs in Meade County.

Card check law would bounce unemployment Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon Labor unions have been losing membership faster than BP’s been losing value in the stock market.

Approximately 8 percent of private-sector employees are union members today, compared with 35 percent in the 1950s. That’s why labor unions want to get the dishonestly named “Employee Free Choice Act” passed.

The legislation also goes by the name “card check,” and it would increase union membership — and the unemployment rate. Under this bill: •Kentucky workers would lose their right to vote by secret ballot on whether to join a union. What could be more un-American than taking away the right to vote by secret ballot on anything, much less a worker’s career?

•Kentucky employers would lose the freedom to decide how their companies operate. Instead, government arbitrators who know nothing about businesses or

their ability to pay would decide.

•Kentucky employers would become victims of unfair sanctions, subjective penalties and big fines for imaginary violations of the law.

•Jobs would be lost — a lot of them. A recent study by noted economist Anne Layne-Farrar, director of the LEGC LLC consulting firm, found that up to 600,000 jobs could be lost in the second year following passage of such a bill.

But labor unions would benefit. Layne-Farrar indicates the bill would result in an additional 1.5 million workers becoming union members in the first year after the bill passes.

With union members paying dues of up to 2 percent out of their entire paychecks, union organizers would have big money to spend on their favorite politicians. Those include the only two Kentucky congressmen who voted for a “card check” bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives on March 1, 2007, but stalled in the Senate.

But considering that more than 15 million Americans are now unemployed — nearly 250,000 Kentuckians

— I’m sure U.S. Reps. John Yarmuth from Louisville and Ben Chandler of Lexington will vote differently next time. “Aren’t you?” (he asked sarcastically) Perhaps before casting another vote supporting such a misguided policy, Chandler should reconnect with his district’s small business owners.

He should stop by BJM & Associates Inc., a staffing firm that’s been helping Lexington residents find jobs for 39 years, and find out what Janey Moores, its founder, president and chief executive office, thinks.

“It’s a real power grab being waged by the unions,” Moores likely would tell him, just as she told me. “All of the Kentucky business owners and upper management I’m talking with are telling me: ‘We’re struggling as it is, and if we’ve got another layer of bureaucracy, if we have more taxes to pay for government to come into our workplace — in addition to being distracted from the things we know how to do to strengthen or grow our business, we’re going to basically sell out or do something else like go home and play with the

grandkids. We’re not putting up with even more.’”

Moores says the economic future of the commonwealth and country should not be wagered in order to prop up labor unions that have said, “We’re too big to fail but we don’t have enough money.”

The labor unions have squandered funds meant for pensions, Moores said.

“Unions have not invested those pension funds well and now taxpayers are going to be penalized and have to go back and plug up the holes that these union reps and managers have caused,” she said. “In the meantime, they’ve had work stoppages and strikes. They cause dissension among their workers. It’s just not the way to get a good-quality product made or to have a dedicated workforce.”

Then she issued me this challenge: Name one unionized company “that’s doing well.”

I couldn’t. Can you?

General Washington vindicated Declaration Rich Lowry National Review “Decades later the Declaration of Independence was canonized as American scripture,” the vinegary historian Walter McDougall writes of the nation’s founding document, “but in 1776 it was generally read once — in army camps, taverns and village greens — cheered, and forgotten.”

Its fate might have been to be forgotten forevermore, if it weren’t for George Washington and his Continental Army.

When our great adventure in liberty still seemed an impossible risk, they were the embodiment and vindicators of the Declaration. Our nation was born on the shoulders of an army, whose exertions and principled patriotism gave the famous parchment its life.

example he set in dealing with the Continental Congress and deferring to civil authority. As the French author Chevalier de Chastellux said during the Revolution, “This is the seventh year that he has commanded the army and he has obeyed Congress: more need not be said.”

When at the end of the war, a colonel sent Washington a letter suggesting he become king, Washington wrote back a stern rebuke.

The brilliant Washington biographer Richard Brookhiser notes that Washington asked for written confirmation from his aides that his reply had been sent, the only time he made such a request during the war.

Of course, when the war ended, he resigned his command and returned to Mount Vernon. Upon hearing the news, an astonished King George III said, “If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world.”

Before he did, Washington had a last instance of dra-

ma with his Army. Camped in Newburgh, N.Y., at the end of the war in 1783, the Army grew restive because Congress was tardy in paying it. Insurrection was in the air.

In a tense meeting with his officers, Washington told them that in rejecting rebellion, “You will give one more distinguished proof of unexampled patriotism and patient virtue, rising superior to the pressure of the most complicated sufferings.

And you will, by the dignity of your conduct, afford occasion of posterity to say, when speaking of the glorious example you have exhibited to mankind, ‘had this day been wanting, the world had never seen the last stage of perfection to which human nature is capable of attaining.’”

The day wasn’t wanting, nor were the men in arms who vindicated the Declaration.

He knew if he kept the Army alive, eventually the British would tire. And keep it alive he did, though sometimes by the barest of margins.

After the war, Washington marveled that “such a force as Great Britain has employed for eight years in this country could be baffled in their plan of subjugating it, by numbers infinitely less, composed of men oftentimes half starved, always in rags, without pay.”

The News Standard - A5

Good fathers can positively influence daughters James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: Is there a way I as a father can influence my daughter’s attitude toward boys? If she chooses to marry, she will need to understand men and know how to relate to them. Is that something I should be thinking about?

DR. DOBSON: You bet it is. Long before a girl finds her first real boyfriend or falls in love, her attitude toward men has been shaped quietly by her father. Why? Because the fatherdaughter relationship sets the stage for all future romantic involvements.

If a young woman’s father rejects her, she’ll spend her life trying to find a man who can meet the needs he

never fulfilled in her heart.

If he’s warm and nurturing, she’ll look for a lover to equal him. If he thinks she’s beautiful and feminine, she’ll be inclined to see herself that way.

But, if he rejects her as unattractive and uninteresting, she’s likely to carry self-image problems into her adult years.

It’s also true that a woman’s relationship with her husband is significantly influenced by the way she perceived her father’s authority.

If he was overbearing or capricious during her earlier years, she may precipitate power struggles with her husband throughout married life.

But, if Dad blended love and discipline in a way that conveyed strength, she may be more comfortable with a give-and-take marriage characterized by mutual respect.

So much of what goes into marriage starts with the bride’s father. That’s why it behooves those of us with daughters to give our best effort to raising them properly.

You are right to be thinking about that vital relationship.

QUESTION: As a father, what should I be trying to accomplish with my son in these teen years?

DR. DOBSON: Someone has said, “Link a boy to the right man and he seldom goes wrong.” I believe that is true.

If a dad and his son can develop hobbies together or other common interests, the rebellious years can pass in relative tranquility. What they experience may be remembered for a lifetime.

I recall a song, written by Dan Fogelberg, which told about a man who shared his love of music with his

elderly father.

It is called “Leader of the Band,” and its message touches something deep within me. The son talks of a father who “earned his love through discipline, a thundering, velvet hand.”

The father’s “song is in my soul.” The son himself has become a “living legacy to the leader of the band.”

Can’t you see this man going to visit his aged father today, with a lifetime of love passing between them? That must have been what God had in mind when he gave dads to boys.

Let me address your question directly: What common ground are you cultivating with your impressionable son?

Some fathers build or repair cars with them; some construct small models or make things in a woodshop.

My dad and I hunted and

fished together. There is no way to describe what those days meant to me as we entered the woods in the early hours of the morning. How could I get angry at this man who took time to be with me?

We had wonderful talks while coming home from a day of laughter and fun in the country.

I tried to maintain that kind of contact with my son.

Opportunities to communicate openly and build the father-son relationship have to be created. It’s a goal that’s worth whatever it takes to achieve.

Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 (www. family.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Solid Answers” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both published

People need to show their love for Jesus, instead of ‘throwing darts’ Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight

One Sunday morning a teen Sunday school teacher asked all the students to draw a picture of someone who had hurt them or someone they didn’t like.

While the students were drawing their pictures the teacher placed a dart board on the wall and told the class that today they were going to throw darts at the pictures they were drawing.

This seemed to please the class and some of them put many details into their pictures.

When the pictures were

drawn, the teacher placed them one by one over the dartboard while the class lined up to throw their darts. The students took as many shots as they wanted. When everyone had taken their turn at throwing darts, the teacher asked them to return to their seats.

Some of the students had thrown so many darts at the picture they had drawn that it was ripped and torn into pieced.

Some of the students were quite pleased with themselves for doing such a good job of mangling their picture with their darts.

The teacher then took the dartboard from the wall. Underneath the target the teacher had placed a picture of Jesus.

The teacher then showed the students the picture of Jesus with holes all over his face, his eyes pierced and his face distorted. The students grew very quite, the teacher believing that the point of the lesson had been made.

In the Book of Matthew 25:40 Jesus said “Verily, verily, I say unto you, insomuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.”

Is there someone you are holding a grudge against?

Maybe someone you have treated badly?

Isn’t it time you stopped “throwing darts” at people and started showing them the love of Jesus?

Money From page A1 to see if their name is in the database He realized the need for such a program after conducting an efficiency study of his office when he took the helm as treasurer in 2008, and noticed the treasury was taking in more funds than it was putting out.

“When I was elected treasurer nearly two and a half years ago now, I immediately did an efficiency study to see how my office operated,” Hollenbach said.

“I discovered that through our unclaimed properties division, which is one of the major divisions in my office, we were collecting a whole bunch of money in abandoned and unclaimed properties.

We’re talking $30-35 million a year and sometimes we’ve collected as much as $50-52 million a year.”

He knew that fact was nothing to brag about, but an issue that he needed to correct, he added.

Hollenbach was faced with the challenge of devising a program to get people’s money back to them without any resources to work with.

That’s where the importance of the role local civic-minded volunteers play in the project became evident.

“The local communities are a blessing in this project,” Hollenbach said.

Local volunteers, leaders and media outlets are a major cog in the pro-

“The anecdotal evidence rolling in is they’ve increased the number of claims returned by 200300 percent at no cost to the taxpayers,” Hollenbach said.

Claims ranged from $10 to several thousand dollars, but his office once had a claim for a staggering $20,000, he added.

Meade County resident Sharon LeGrand volunteered to help other residents find their money at the event.

“I think it’s a well-needed program for the residents of Meade County,” LeGrand said. “If they have money out there, they deserve to get it.”

According to LeGrand, who is from the Rock Haven area, the program is about much more than reuniting people with money, but is also good for community ties.

“I do think it’s a good way to reach out to the community and show you

care,” she said. “It’s great for the economics of the community. I hope everybody gets their money.”

There were 1,800 claims in Meade County totaling $413,000.

Hollenbach hopes Treasure Finders Kentucky will have a longstanding presence in Kentucky and will be able to help many more people in generations to come.

“Our goal is to have a longer lasting footprint, not just a one-and-done,” he said.

Meade County residents who did not attend the Treasure Finders Kentucky program last week can still check for their names on the Treasure Finders Kentucky list online at www. treasury.ky.gov or by calling 800-465-4722.

Names stay on the list forever, so the names of grandparents and greatgrandparents may be found Hollenbach added.

“Everybody’s surprised to learn they have unclaimed money. Nobody thinks they can lose anything,” he said.

Multi-state blitz targets over-weight trucks Submitted by Lt. David Jude Kentucky State Police FRANKFORT — On Wednesday, June 9, commercial vehicle enforcement personnel and troopers from Kentucky State Police, Indiana State Police, and Ohio Highway Patrol participated in a multi-state enforcement blitz aimed at improving the safety of the interstate system specifically for and around commercial motor vehicles.

The focus of this blitz was to target safety issues concerning commercial motor vehicle drivers, International Fuel Tax violations and vehicle over-weight violations. Fifty-one tickets and 21 warnings were issued for over-weight violations, and 14 tickets and 10 warnings were issued for fuel tax violations.

Troopers also targeted drivers of passenger vehicle who choose to operate their vehicles in an unsafe manor around commercial motor vehicles.

In the 24-hour enforce-

ment period, in Kentucky alone, 395 commercial motor vehicles were inspected resulting in 161 traffic citations and 24 written warnings.

Of the 395 commercial motor vehicles inspected, 627 violations were discovered and 25 drivers and 75 vehicles were placed out of service.

The totals for the multistate commercial motor vehicle enforcement efforts are as follows: 993 inspections found 2,825 violations, of which 334 were considered “out of service violations.”

Seventy-eight drivers and 265 vehicles were placed “out of service”.

Anytime a commercial motor vehicle is involved in a crash the chances of someone being killed increase dramatically.

Commercial Vehicle Enforcement officers from Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio will continue to work together in an effort to reduce the number of deaths and crashes involving unsafe vehicles and driver error.

Class teaches ways to preserve quality of food with “canning”

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

The Meade County Extension Office is buzzing with the start of a new season as they show local residents the benefits of making their produce last a little longer.

This was a part of a Basic Food Preservation Class last Thursday at the extension office. Students were able to learn how to make peach preserves as well as learn the principles of home canning and how to properly freeze corn.

Class began with placing peaches in a skillet full of hot water to steam for a few minutes. Once they were done, the peaches were placed in ice water and after a minute the skin was removed from the peaches. The peaches were then cut up and made into peach preserves.

The class also taught the correct techniques of properly preserving food with a process known as “canning,” which preserves the quality of food at home. It could save a person half the cost of

ROTC From page A5 the Army. It’s the real deal.”

The cadets were separated into seven companies of nearly 200 cadets each.

They endured the elements as they completed nearly half a dozen intense training courses on the post.

The first wave of cadets arrived June 1, and the last group will graduate Aug. 7.

Their performances are documented by cadre, which are officers who teach ROTC or help instruct the summer courses, and an assessment of performance will be sent to each cadet.

Last Friday, members of the first wave of cadets battled through two of the training sites.

Some were assigned to high ropes obstacle course Where Eagles Dare, which pitted cadets against a myriad of elevated challenges several stories in the air.

buying commercially canned food.

According to Jennifer Bridge, county extension agent for family and consumer sciences, once food is “canned” it is good for up to three years.

Some of the benefits of home canning include controlling what goes into the food, harvesting the vitamins in the food, keeping the food from spoiling and maintaining a higher food quality.

“You know where it came from,” Bridge said, adding

that farmers usually pick their produce at peak quality.

The process of “canning” begins by sterilizing empty jars, letting the lids and jars sit in boiling water. Once the jars are finished, place the food in the jar, re-place the lid on top and put the jar back in boiling water to keep any extra air out. The whole process takes approximately 10 minutes.

“It’s important if your doing home preservation to do it correctly,” Bridge said, if a person doesn’t go the extra 10 minutes mold and bacteria

Cadets faced climbing nets, rope bridges and other physically challenging ropes-based obstacles.

The high ropes course was designed to help build confidence through accomplishment and help cadets to conquer their fear of heights, according to Where Eagles Dare officer-in-charge Lt. Col. Michael Kirkland said.

“A lot of these kids have never been outside of the living room. This is their first time to experience something like this,” Kirkland said. “This is a memorable event. It helps them to build their confidence by conquering their fears.”

Kirkland, who is a military science professor at Eastern Washington University, has been in the Army since 1983 and was a cadet in ROTC. “I’ve wanted to take some of the lessons I’ve learned in my career and teach them to the cadets to try and help them with their careers,” he said.

The other training site cadets trained on was a watercourse known as Call of the Wild, on Tobacco Leaf Lake.

The cadets were separated into teams of eight, and each team was assigned to a boat. The teams raced each other around the course, and were required to capsize their boats at three checkpoints on the course.

Students interested in participating in the ROTC training course, which is only held at Fort Knox, must apply at the ROTC office at their school.

The ROTC cadre will then select the best candidates.

Once selected, the potential cadets must pass a medical exam and have a certain amount of credit hours and a certain GPA. The course at Fort Knox is considered a basic course.

Cadets who graduate will be enrolled in an advanced Leadership Development course at Fort Louis, Washington.

The car, which has been synonymous with the Kentucky car industry for nearly 30 years, has been manufactured in Bowling Green,

Ky., since General Motors moved production of the Chevrolet Corvette from St. Louis in 1981, according to the release.

More than 470 people are employed by the plant, which produces the distinct, high-performing vehicles.

She noted the class featured a machine to make sure lids have the accurate pressure.

The jars and rings used in canning are re-useable, but a person needs to buy new lids each time.

According to Loretta Skaggs, the class’ program assistant, home canning will save a person extra money when the produce is in season.

THE NEWS STANDARD/CASEY TOLLIVER

Lt. Gen. Benjamin Freakley, right, speaks with Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft, left, at a recent reception in Freakley’s honor.

By Casey Tolliver The News Standard The new commanding general of Fort Knox was welcomed to the local community at a reception earlier this week.

Monday evening, state representatives, judge/executives, mayors and citizens of the counties that encompass Fort Knox attended a welcoming reception in honor of Lt. Gen. Benjamin Freakley and his wife, Susan, at North Middle School in Radcliff, which was built

to accommodate BRAC growth.

“This has nothing to do with me,” Freakley said “You all are a huge part of it.”

Gen. Freakley, who assumed control of Fort Knox on May 27, was named commanding general of Fort Knox when Accessions Command was brought to the post as part of the BRAC initiative.

“This is a perfect day for the state of Kentucky,” Sen. Mitch McConnell’s spokesman Larry Cox said. “It is

the product of an extraordinary effort stretched out over 20 years. The way he and his staff have asserted themselves so far has been remarkable.”

Cast members from the play “The Stephen Foster Story,” which is staged in Bardstown, were on hand were on hand to lead those attending the reception in the singing “My Old Kentucky Home.”

At the reception, Susan learned that Gov. Steve Beshear had installed her as a Kentucky Colonel.

FEATURES War regrets spur Kentuckian to assist Vietnamese

Friday, June 25, 2010

A10 - The News Standard

Killing a fellow human being wasn’t something Curtis “Willie” Gilliland, Jr. wanted to do.

He knows Gene Gordon Wells felt the same way.

But that’s exactly what the first cousins were asked to do in the late 1960s.

They had grown up less than a mile apart along the banks of Pitman Creek, leading an idyllic life that included fishing, skipping flat rocks along the creek, and nothing more outrageous than skinny dipping.

Both were the products of loving families who made certain they grew up as God-fearing, good citizens.

At Garner Grade School, a two-room frame structure housing grades one through eight, they were respected by classmates for their honesty, cheerfulness, and quick wit.

When the cousins graduated from Pulaski County High in May of 1966, nearly 250,000 of their fellow Americans, mostly teenagers like themselves, were fighting in the dense jungles of Vietnam.

The war raged on, in one form or another, until 1975.

The final death count: four million Indonesians and 58,268 Americans.

Soldiers drafted into the military were required to serve a year on the battlefields. Most did their time and came home, but Wells

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY DON WHITE

Curtis and Louise Gilliland enjoy viewing photos from past excursions through Vietnam wasn’t among the lucky ones. He was killed in action on Jan. 7, 1970.

Gilliland got to come home, but as a changed person.

“Vietnam turned me into a pacifist,” he said.

While still a member of the military, he joined peace marches and remains a very strong anti-war proponent, a perhaps not-sosurprising stance for someone who never wanted to fight in the first place.

He lost his education deferment “after flunking out of Somerset Community

College,” and failed in an attempt to join the Air Force.

Soon after, while going through processing at Fort Knox, he made a last-ditch effort to avoid combat by saying he wanted to be a conscientious objector.

“But I was only 19, and I let them talk me out of it,” he says.

“Instead of standing up like I should have, I melted into the crowd.”

Being sent into combat following a brief training period proved a harsh reality for the mildmannered country boy.

“We were told by our lead-

ers to spray bullets into a village without knowing what we shooting at, and that bothers me.

You had to wonder, were we hitting the enemy or innocent civilians?

I’ve run that through my mind countless times after the fact, but at the time I didn’t, because we were just following orders.

They said to ‘fire this way’ and ‘fire that way’ and that’s what we did.

We were told in training that these people were the enemy, and we were supposed to shoot them.”

Gilliand said “it never

sank in” that fellow human beings were being killed until he was asked to go through the personal effects of the victims.

“I’d pull out a wallet, and it would be filled with photos of family members, just as mine was. I then realized the fellows we were firing at had families, just like us.”

Gilliland returned to Somerset with a Purple Heart for injuries received when he was shot in the hand and across the nose, but it was his own heart that had suffered the most.

To this day, he remains unsure if any shots fired from his gun killed anyone, but he’s certain that “our bombs killed innocent people.”

A retired letter carrier and married father of one daughter, Gilliland has become a familiar name to readers of the Letters to the Editor column in daily newspapers in Kentucky.

He says his frequent letters, nearly all with an antiwar theme, are intended to make people think and realize “there is no reason for going to war. To dismiss what’s going on today is too easy, so I will continue to protest.”

But there’s yet another aspect to his life of which most people may be unaware.

Since 1975, he and wife Louise, a Wayne County native, have devoted themselves to aiding Vietnamese people

who want to live in America.

“I guess we have helped maybe 60 Vietnamese adjust to life in America by aiding them in the car- buying process, and buying or renting a place to live. Things of that nature,” he says.

At his own expense, “after years of thinking and prayer,” the ex-soldier has also made more than 20 trips back to Vietnam, usually staying at least a month.

He says he has come to love the people and hopes his actions “might kind of make up for what I did in Vietnam.”

“It’s a tremendous feeling to go back and walk down those same roads without worrying about getting shot.

The people are never hostile, and I’ve played pool with a lot of the men who used to be our enemy,” he said.

Although he feels the war was “a huge blunder from start to finish and totally unnecessary,” Gilliland feels there was a bit of personal gain for him.

“Serving in Vietnam gave me a greater appreciation for life...mine and those of other people,” he said.

Former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, one of the key architects of the US’s war policy in Vietnam, admitted grave mistakes in that policy in his 1995 memoir, In Retrospect.

McNamara, in his book, says …“we were wrong, terribly wrong. We owe it to future generations to explain why.”

Curtis “Willie” Gilliland, Jr. is trying to do just that.

Pick herbs for your health Jennifer Bridge Family & Consumer Science Celebrity chefs say people eat with their eyes first. Then, they serve up a deliciously crafted work of art on a plate. It may be true, but most of us use our senses of smell and taste to satisfy hunger.

Lots of people turn to salt as a fast flavor-fix for food. Table salt is 40 percent sodium, which is an important mineral for the human body. Problems arise when salt is overused, especially as a flavor substitute in bland foods and low-fat recipes.

Excessive sodium in the diet is linked to high blood pressure, which can result in heart disease, kidney failure and stroke. Even though salt serves as the major source of sodium in the diet, the recommended maximum daily intake is just 2,400 milligrams or about one teaspoon.

Culinary herbs also enhance the flavor of food without the associated health concerns. They come in several forms; fresh, dried or ground.

Volatile oils in fresh herbs are released into food as flavor and scent when chopped or cooked.

Drying fresh herbs, especially in whole leaf form, concentrates these oils.

Powdered or ground herbs initially release the highest flavor concentration but often have a shorter shelf life than dried herbs.

A good rule of thumb is one tablespoon of fresh is equal to one teaspoon of dried or 1/4 teaspoon of ground herb.

When using dried herbs, rub the ingredient between your palms first to release volatile oils, and then add to food.

Here are a few common herbs and suggestions for cooking with them.

Basil is widely used in southern European cuisines. It pairs especially well with fish, shellfish, eggs, vegetables and tomato-based dishes. Basil

news

is an easy to grow annual available in many varieties and flavors. Italian basils are the kind most often found in dried and ground form at grocery stores. Basil retains good flavor when dried but loses depth when compared to fresh.

Oregano also is popular in southern European cooking and is considered essential to Italian cuisine.

Use it to enhance tomato sauces, soups, salad dressings and bean and vegetable dishes.

Drying brings out the best flavor and you can usually find oregano in this form. A perennial in most gardens, it is easy to grow once established. A good choice for growers is true greek oregano.

Parsley offers more than a garnish for the plate. This leafy herb has a distinct “green vegetable” flavor, which punches up just about any dish. Parsley is especially popular in soups. Common species include flat-leaf parsley and curled leaf parsley.

Parsley becomes bland and almost flavorless when dried, so use it fresh or freeze small quantities for cooking later. A selfseeding annual, parsley is fairly easy to grow but does best in cool weather and partial shade.

Thyme is an aromatic herb with widespread use in cooking. This woody herb contains high levels of volatile oils which means a little bit goes a long way. Thyme pairs well with poultry, seafood, beans, vegetable dishes and salad dressings.

A perennial except in the coldest climates, thyme can be fussy when grown as a plant. Its many benefits for home cooks make it worth the trouble. Thyme retains good flavor when dried.

When using an herb for the first time, start with a small amount to find out if you like it. Here is a simple taste test. Combine one-half cup butter with 1 tablespoon minced fresh herb and let it sit for two hours to allow the flavors to mix. Spread on crackers or warm bread.

You can have fun experimenting with herbs and they can help you unload some of the high-salt, high-fat content in your diet.

Pumping company keeps your septic tank in check

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard In the home of Stan and Brenda Heslep there is an old $35 dollar check framed on the wall. The keepsake serves as a reminder of the times and a reality check of the present.

The check was made out to Boyd Alexander who pumped and cleaned the Heslep’s farm septic tank in 1972. Nearly 40 years later, Stan is in the business himself as owner of C&S Pumping where cleaning a tank can range around the price of $165.

“I just stumbled upon the check,” Brenda said. “The price difference over the years is interesting.”

The business is run out of the same farm home in Ekron where Alexander first pumped their septic tank. Some of the services Stan’s business offers are septic tank cleaning and repairs, grease traps maintenance, holding tanks and drain cleaning services.

For Stan and his twomember team, this line of work is more than just taking a hose to a septic tank and vacuuming it clean.

It’s more a process of figuring out what’s wrong and trying to fix it so it will not happen again.

“We’re investigators,” Stan said. “We’ve got to figure out what’s going on and what’s the best way to fix it.

It’s not just pumping septic tanks.”

Currently, Stan, his wife Brenda and employee Bobby Rosengard make up the team at C&S Pumping, which stretches across seven area counties.

Brenda usually covers the home office by handling phone calls, bills and dispatching Stan and Rosengard to each job.

Thes job was a blessing for Rosengard after he was laid off from his truck-driving job.

“This is something different and it’s not that hard,” he said. “(You) make of it what you want.”

When it comes to pumping out septic tanks, Stan has gathered numerous objects that typically shouldn’t be flushed down a toilet.

“We’ve found everything in septic tanks,” he said. “Diamond rings, gold necklaces, money … we’re always finding nickels, quarters, pennies.”

Other items found include t-shirts, underwear, socks, cigarette butts, candy wrappers and toys.

All of these objects are found after the gathered materials from a septic tank goes through a strainer — separating the foreign objects. Once the foreign objects are removed, the septage is chemically treated for three to five days and turned into liquid fertilizer.

The odd objects found in the septic tanks are not discarded and forgotten. The business has a pile Stan likes to call “Dirty Money,” which contains the rings, money and necklaces found on the job. However, they typically can’t use the “money” due to the conditions, which the unique objects endured.

“Usually, because of what goes on inside a septic tank, the acidity and all that, what we find is not in good shape,” Stan said.

There’s no limit to the items Stan and his crew have found in septic tanks. Stan’s most interesting call occurred a few years ago when one of his employees was dispatched to a residential job. The homeowner had an old dog that was almost blind. The dog was walking near the septic tank, stumbled and fell inside.

The homeowner had to jump inside the septic tank and retrieve the dog.

Stan suggests not using toilets as a trash can. He says to never flush feminine products, grease, q-tips, baby wipes and other non-biodegradable items down the commode.

Stan said it’s important to know if foreign objects have been flushed prior to pumping a septic tank. C&S Pumping wants to make sure the customer won’t have any future issues and to make sure they properly maintain the

tank.

“All it is, is a collection point for solids,” Stan said. “Once it gets so full, those solids start going out into the yard … and they will start stopping the lines and once that happens (that’s) five to $10,000 you will owe in repair work.”

To keep this from happening, it’s important to have a good septic maintenance program every three to five years that C&S Pumping can provide. There is no hard-line on how many years a person should pump, rather how much is being put into the system.

There have been times when Stan has either had to get inside a septic tank or has had the septage spew on him.

“We’ve sprayed ourselves,” he said. “Our trucks are vacuum trucks … well the hoses deteriorate over time and

Meade celebrates Kix.com week Submitted by the Kentucky Indiana Exchange Meade County Judge/ Executive Harry Craycroft issued a proclamation in recognition of Kix.com week, a region-wide community awareness initiative taking place June 20th thru 26th during which community leaders are encouraging area residents to learn more about the new regional web portal.

Kix.com, or the Kentucky Indiana eXchange, helps link job seekers to employment opportunities, employers to the region’s best talent and prospective students to the training and education they need to fill higher-skilled jobs and contribute to regional prosperity.

The site also looks to connect our region in an unprec-

edented way using state-ofthe-art social networking tools.

Meade County employers have played a pivotal role in helping make this portal a reality, participating in a regional survey that assessed the needs of area employers across a 26 county region.

The portal’s labor market information is a roll up of the survey results, providing a regionally focused picture of employer needs now and in the future.

The Wired65 initiative funded the creation of kix. com. The WIRED program (Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development) is a U.S. Department of Labor program.

The “65” moniker given to this regional WIRED initiative is symbolic of the interstate

corridor that helps tie us all together.

“We are thrilled to have Meade County participating in kix.com week,” said Kim Huston, Wired65 team co-chair.

Huston also echoed the sentiments of the proclamation that kix.com is another great idea from the Idea Capital of the World, a place where imaginations and individuals thrive. Kix.com is helping to showcase all of those great ideas at www.kix.com/ group/idea.

Blueberry pickin’ at local farm

270-422-2228 619 High Street, Suite 2, Brandenburg, Ky.

By Casey Tolliver The News Standard When local resident Nancy Hardin moved to Meade County from Louisville nearly 10 years ago, she was seeking a quieter life, free from the metro hustle and bustle.

Rural passiveness afforded her with so much spare time, she decided to find a hobby.

“After my husband and I moved down here, we didn’t have cable, so I needed to find something to do with my free time,” she said.

After reading an article about blueberries, Hardin took interest in the shrubs and decided to try her hand at growing them.

Originally, she only wanted a few plants, so the Hardins planted 10 bushes.

But when her husband Bruce, who passed away nearly two years ago, kept planting and planting, what started out as a hobby evolved into a business.

With more than 1,500 blueberry bushes neatly and precisely dotting nearly five acres of land on Payne Road in Garrett, Hardin is now the proprietor of a you-pick blueberry operation, even though she still considers it “just a hobby.”

Her bushes offer pickers several varieties of blueberries, including Patriots and Blue Crop.

Hardin’s blueberry baptism into the berry-growing world cultivated an interest in growing other types of berries at one point.

However, she soon realized she had more than enough blueberry shrubs to keep her busy.

“I did think about growing Lingon berries, but when I saw how many plants Bruce had planted, I thought ‘oh, forget it.’”

Blueberries are susceptible to hard freezes and birds.

Though the elements and animals pose significant threats, there are ways to ward off the birds.

Hardin puts out aluminum pie pans tied to posts to make a clanging noise to make the birds steer clear. However,

THE NEWS STANDARD/CHARLOTTE FACKLER

Blueberry farm owner Nancy Hardin, right, and Meredith Shore, left, pick berries. the biggest bird deterrent is people picking the berries, she said.

Keeping the blueberries alive is Hardin’s ultimate goal, and the duties required in growing and maintaining blueberries can be daunting, as well as time consuming.

The shrubs require one inch of water per week, and with that many plants, figuring out how to irrigate can be quite the task.The bushes require regular pruning, fertilizing and six inches of mulch.

After years of tending to the health of her blueberries, she began to consider the health of the people who eat her berries.

Though her berries aren’t certified organic, she has taken a health conscious approach to growing within the past few years.

“These berries haven’t been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides in four years,” Hardin said.

The end result is homegrown berries that are far superior to store bought berries, which don’t stack up to the flavor and quality , according to Hardin.

“How old are they (storebought blueberries)? They are ancient by the time they get to my grocery store,” she

said. “And if you come and pick them yourself, nobody has touched them but you.

To me, the flavor, there’s no comparison.”

Dr. Eugene Medley, who brought his wife and two children from Elizabethtown to pick berries, agreed with Hardin’s assessment.

“It’s amazing how good these berries are. I’m impressed,” Medley said. “ And the kids love to pick them.

This is probably the easiest way to get out a spend time with the family.”

Hardin’s you-pick blueberry operation also caters to another important aspect to local pickers, an aspect that she finds far more important than selling berries: fostering community ties.

“One thing about a youpick in a small community, is they run into their neighbor and you can hear them strike up a conversation and then it’s not just about berry picking,” Hardin said.

Hardin’s hours of operation vary, but she is generally open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

For directions and more information, call Hardin at 270828-5811.

First year camp fills the gym with future volleyballers

By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard More than 50 volleyball players packed the Freshman Academy gymnasium last Saturday for the inaugural Meade County volleyball camp.

“We were really pleased with the turnout,” said the camp’s instructor and Stuart Pepper Middle School volleyball coach, Todd Saylor.

The day camp was for girls grades second through eighth and taught the basics of the game such as serving, setting, passing and keeping score; while reinforcing them with fun team scrimmages.

“We wanted to show the game of volley-

ball,” Saylor said. “We wanted to give them the skills and terms that will be helpful to them playing and watching volleyball.”

Meade County doesn’t have a youth volleyball program and this camp was to trigger interest in the community.

“The goal was to expose the game of volleyball to our younger girls,” Saylor said.

“Many of the schools we play have elementary teams. That puts us several years behind.”

Despite lacking a youth program, Meade County has become a powerhouse in the district and region. The past three years they have made it very deep into the postseason, but have been unable

to make it to the state sweet 16 tournament.

“I think having a youth program will really help,” Saylor said.

“Obviously the talent is there, but we’re making up for lost time. It takes us a few years to catch up to the top teams. “ Saylor added that most of the teams that make it to the state tournament have the experience, which started at the elementary age.

“We think we can have a program that can get to the sweet 16,” he said. “This is a step to get there.”

Free volleyball clinics were offered at the end of the school year and were well received.

Missing “chean” link found Cheaney Schwartz bounces back from seasonending arm injury

By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard The Meade County Greenwave basketball team’s unusual, early departure from March’s post season could have been linked to the team’s youth or poor shooting. But one glaring missing link was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder sophomore Cheaney Schwartz.

Against South Oldham on Jan. 26, Schwartz fell on his right hand after a hard foul. Schwartz knew there was something wrong, despite the South Oldham trainer who said there was nothing wrong.

“I went up for a lay-up and the guy was bigger than me,” Schwartz said, who is now a 6-foot-1 junior. “He blocked my shot and I landed on my hand.

“The trainer for the other team said I didn’t even do anything. He said I probably just bruised it.

Low golf score nears record, ace wins trip Submitted by Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce

BRANDENBURG — Hot weather made for some hot golf at the Meade County Area Chamber of Commerce’s 24th annual two-person golf scramble on Saturday.

That’s because Lincoln Lawrence, of Jeffersonville, Ind., and Jeff Dawson of Shepherdsville, Ky., shot a near-record 56 to win the Cox’s Variety & Garden Center First Flight in the Championship Division, besting 25 other teams in that division at Hillcrest Country Club.

Lawrence and Dawson’s score is the second-best recorded in the past six scrambles — only one less than the 55 that was shot by 2009’s winners, Jon Miller, of Brandenburg, and Keith Ohr, of Louisville.

Lee Richardson, of Brandenburg, and Dean Hobbs, of Hardinsburg, Ky., shot a 68 to win the Meade County Farm Bureau Insurance First Flight in the Senior Division in which 11 teams competed.

To add to the excitement of the day, Don Johnston, of Louisville, aced his shot on No. 18, winning four days’ accommodations at the Trump Taj Mahal Resort in Atlantic City, N.J., and four rounds of golf at McCullough’s Emerald Golf Links there.

“That was my first hole-in-one,” he said on the green after he had plucked the lucky ball from the cup as those who were golfing with him and scramble organizers looked on and applauded.

Martin Truex Jr. likes his new ride with Waltrip Racing

By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week Martin Truex Jr., once known for his friendship and affiliation with Dale Earnhardt Jr., is now making a name for himself in the No. 56 Toyota of Michael Waltrip Racing.

After winning the Busch (now Nationwide) Series championships in 2004 and ‘05, Truex made the step up to Sprint Cup and spent four seasons at Dale Earnhardt Inc., which eventually became Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. He made the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2007, the year he won his only Cup race, to date, at Dover International Speedway.

This year Truex has moved into Chase contention in his first season at MWR, where he has been paired with veteran crew chief

Pat Tryson.

“We’ve just been steady as a race team, doing all the things we need to do to get points and finish races,” said Truex. “There have been a few races where we’ve had really good cars, and a few races where we were off but still managed to get good finishes, and that’s why we’re sitting here (in Chase contention).

“Pat (Tryson) and all the guys on the (sponsor) NAPA team have done an awesome job. I feel like the last month, month and a half, we’re starting to gel and figure out our race cars, find some speed and know where to go to get that speed when we need it.

I’ve been very happy with that and still continue to work on our stuff to try to get better.”

New Ride From page B1 Before making the move to MWR and Toyota, Truex had a close relationship with his previous crew chief, Kevin “Bono” Manion, who now works with Daytona 500 winner Jamie McMurray. He compared Tryson with Manion.

“They’re different in a lot of ways, but I wouldn’t say they’re like night and day,” said Truex. “Their personalities are a little bit different. ‘Bono’ is more quiet and kind of strict. If you do something wrong, he’ll probably yell at you.

Leah Cannady. Meade County graduate and Transylvania University volleyball player Claire Cannady also instructed the camp.

“It’s great to have those group of girls there,” Saylor said. “The (campers) idolize the varsity players so they’re going to listen to them a lot more. When they say something the girls listen.”

With the success of the camp, there are tentative plans to have the camp again next year and even have more events, which help promote volleyball.

“We’re going to try to do this next year,” Saylor said.

“We also want to do more dates during the year much like the free clinic we had.

This was a lot of fun.”

“Pat is a little more laid back, kind of likes to have fun. Both of them do a great job, obviously, and they’re both good at calling races and they both understand the race cars well. They’re different, but at the end of the day, they are both out there doing the same job, and both do it well.”

Golf From page B1 first trip through it on the nine-hold course, he would have won the $10,000 top prize in the hole-in-one contest sponsored by Fort Knox Federal Credit Union.

“This was another scramble that was great fun for all involved,” is how Russ Powell, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, described the event.

“The number of those who play year after year is evidence of just how popular this scramble is,” Powell said. “It’s rich in tradition — we’ll achieve the quartercentury mark in 2011 — and in the prize money that goes to players. This year that amount is $2,800.

“The support we get from golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and Hillcrest Country Club makes this event a success, and that, in turn, benefits the entire community by helping keep the Chamber of Commerce a strong, thriving organization,” he added.

Winners of the Championship Division’s other flights in the blind-draw scramble were: •The Lusk Group Second Flight — Jason Bruington and Robert Carman, both of Hardinsburg, with a score of 63.

•The McDonald’s of Brandenburg Third Flight — Sarah DuPlessis and Aaron Anderson, both of Elizabethtown, with a score of 65.

•The Brandenburg Pharmacy Care Fourth Flight — John Hamilton and Pam Hamilton, both of Brandenburg, with a score of 67.

•The Meade County RECC/ First Federal Savings Bank Fifth Flight — Larry McCord, of Irvington, and Lloyd King, of Frankfort, with a score of 73.

Winners of the Senior Division’s Re-Elect Margaret Matney Second Flight were Tom Hewlett and Valerie Hewlett, both of Brandenburg, with a score of 73.

Winners of the nearest-tothe-pin competition for each hole were: •No. 1/10 – The team of Jason Witten, of Leitchfield, Ky., and Ron Layman, of Lexington.

•No. 2/11 – The team of Todd Mettling, of Brandenburg, and Tim Clark, of Louisville.

•No. 3/12 – The team of Richardson and Hobbs.

•No. 4/13 – The team of Brian Ratliff, of Irvington, and Brian Cox, of Guston.

•No. 5/14 – The team of Mike Ford and Chad Ford, both of Brandenburg.

•No. 6/15 – Sarah DuPlessis, of Elizabethtown, Ky. •No. 7/16 – The team of Pat Newkirk and David Pohlmann, both of Louisville.

•No. 8 /17 – The team of Witten and Layman.

•No. 9/18 – Don Johnston, of Louisville.

The longest-drive competitions were won by Sarah DuPlessis, of Elizabethtown, in the women’s division, and the team of John Deaton and Vince Bradley, both of Brandenburg, in the men’s division.

The most-accurate drive competitions were won by Valerie Hewlett, of Brandenburg, in the women’s division, and Kevin Blake,

of Brandenburg, in the men’s division.

The winning teams in the championship and senior divisions each received $500, with $100 going to each team that won a flight and to each team or member of a team that won a competition.

In a two-person golf scramble format, each team consists of two players. After each shot, the best of the two shots is selected and both players play from that spot until the ball is holed.

One team score is recorded.

Ties are broken on the scorecard starting at Hole 1.

Ky Wildlife Commission propose migratory bird hunting seasons Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission, at its quarterly meeting June 11, proposed to the General Assembly the 2010-2011 early migratory bird season dates. The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission recommends all hunting, fishing and boating regulations for approval by the General Assembly and approves all expenditures by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. All recommendations must be approved by legislators before they become law.

The 2010 - 2011 Early Migratory Bird Seasons: •Mourning Dove: Sept.

1 – Oct. 24, 2010; Nov. 25 – Dec. 3, 2010; Jan. 1, 2011 – Jan. 7, 2011 •Canada Goose: Sept. 4 – 12, 2010 Wood Duck and Teal: Sept. 15 – 19, 2010 American •Woodcock: Oct. 16 – Nov. 29, 2010 •Virginia and Sora Rail, Common Moorhen and Purple Gallinule: Sept. 1 – Nov. 9, 2010 Common Snipe: Sept. 15–Oct. 31, 2010; Nov. 25, 2010 – Jan. 23, 2011 Season lengths and bag limits remain the same as last year. In other early migratory bird business, the commission proposed opening Swan Lake on Boatwright Wildlife Management Area (WMA) to wood duck and teal hunting. Swan Lake is the only section of Boatwright WMA not open to wood duck or teal hunting.

Hunters must use U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved non-toxic shot at Swan Lake.

The commission also proposed extending the spring squirrel season dates. Under the proposal, the spring squirrel season would open on the third Saturday in May and close the third Friday in June.

Previously, the season

Catching bass in the summer will require an angler to fish the deeper ledges and humps out on main lakes. This is sometimes difficult for a lot of anglers.

Most of us learned how to bass fish by fishing visual targets. So that’s what we tend to do whenever we go fishing.

Unfortunately, that will not get the job done. The bass have moved out because of food (Shad), oxygen sources and more favorable cooler water temperatures.

There will be some fish that will remain shallow, but the largest majority have left and retreated to deeper water.

Knowing this we need to look for under water ridges and humps that are next to the main river or creek channels.

These areas will be the key to finding the bigger schools of bass. I will use two tools for this.

One is a good lake map that I can study at home or at my hotel room, I also

Mourning dove hunting season is set for Sept. 1 and Oct. 24; Nov. 25 and Dec. 3 opened on the first Saturday in June.

The commission also recommended removing the restriction on shot size for hunters using shotguns to hunt furbearers such as coyotes. Previously, furbearer hunters could not use buckshot to take these species.

On shooting ranges on wildlife management areas, the commission barred certain weapons and ammunition from use.

Users of shooting ranges on wildlife management area cannot use cannons, artillery or replicas of these weapons, mortars, grenades, incendiary bullets, explosive devices or explosive bullets. They cannot fire shotgun slugs larger than 10-gauge or modern firearm bullets with more than 500 grains of powder. They also may not use muzzleloader balls larger than .78 caliber, rifles that are not shouldermounted or pistols that are not hand-held. The com-

mission proposed these changes to reduce damages to the shooting range caused by these weapons and for safety reasons.

The next Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting will be held at 8 a.m., Friday, August 13, at #1 Sportsman’s Lane off U.S. 60 in Frankfort.

Persons interested in addressing the commission must notify the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife commissioner ’s office in writing at least 30 days in advance to be considered for placement on the meeting agenda.

People who are hearing impaired and plan to attend the meeting should contact Kentucky Fish and Wildlife at least 10 days in advance and the agency will provide a translator.

To request to address the commission, write to KDFWR, Commissioner Jon Gassett, #1 Sportsman’s Lane, Frankfort, Kentucky, 40601.

recommend the Navionics Hot Maps mapping system. They have a CD that can be up loaded onto your computer, which you can find at most pro shops. The other tool is a good GPS. Both tools are critical to being successful on the water.

I will use my map to highlight key areas that will likely hold bass. Then on the water my GPS will allow me to locate and give me a visual mapping on the water.

A GPS also allows me to see where I’m at while I’m fishing. This is so important when trying to locate the fish, I can see my depth and location and not guess if I’m on the right spot or not.

When on the water we will be searching for objects on these humps that will hold fish. This could be stumps, brush, rocks, shell beds, or anything else that might be there.

I like to start fishing the current point first. This is the point of the hump that the underwater current is facing into. This will be the cleanest of any silt due to

the current. I will fish the entire hump so that I can find any areas holding fish.

Once I have located some fish, I will mark it with my GPS. A lot of times bass will use the same places year-after-year.

The tackle I prefer will be some good cranking rods 7- to 7 1/2-feet long.

A good bait cast reel, spooled with 12 pound test fluorocarbon reel with a deep running crank bait.

And also I will use a 7- to 8-foot rod for casting jigs or some type of plastics like a ZOOM Ole Monster Worm or Brush Hog. These are my two favorites, and I will cast them on 14 to 17 pound test fluorocarbon line.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you don’t like to change plans once they’re set, once again, you might find that doing so can make a big difference in your favor. Family matters dominate the weekend.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You continue to get encouragement for your proposals, including some support from unlikely sources.

Use this positive flow to move forward with your plans. Good luck.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family matters are dominant this week. It’s a good time to be with those you love. It’s also a good time to contact and reunite with loved ones with whom you’ve lost touch.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful not to allow differences of opinion to create unpleasant feelings, especially in the workplace.

A neutral observer could check out the situation and suggest a resolution.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) While the Lion’s Den is the center of attention this week, with family matters dominating much of your time, workplace issues are also important. Try to find a balance between them.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The future of a new relationship could depend on how much the usually impatient-to-getthings-done Virgo is willing to stop pushing and let things happen naturally.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Worry over a loved one’s wellbeing is eased with good news from a sympathetic source. Your continued show of love and support is important. Stay with it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to consider mending fences with someone you wish was back in your life. Forget about blame, and focus on the good things you once shared.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week to start researching information regarding whatever changes you’re considering, whether it involves a new home, a new location or a new job.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A long-anticipated job opportunity could turn out to be less than you expected. But appearances might be deceiving.

Check it out before you decide it’s not for you.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Good news: Adapting to a new situation might come more easily than you expected. You can look for continued support from colleagues who appreciate your contributions.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone you care for might need more reassurance from the typically “unemotional” Pisces. Go ahead. Open up, and you might be surprised at what you find when you do.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are a romantic at heart, although you can be amazingly practical when you need to be. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Link From page B1 ligament and I cracked a bone.”

Schwartz missed the remaining eight games, which included a season-ending loss to Hancock County during the opening round of the district tournament.

“It was really disappointing,” he said. “I thought we had a chance to win the district. We didn’t have the best record, but we could have beaten Hancock and Breckinridge counties.”

Schwartz’s void was greatly missed. He led the team in scoring with 12.2 points per game. He held the title despite missing the final third of the season.

He also left as the team’s leading rebounder, but was eventually taken by forward Thomas Wilson who averaged a little over seven rebounds a game.

“We lost our leading scorer and our leading rebounder,” said Greenwave head coach Jerry Garris. “Any time that happens you’re going to have a big void.”

While the team struggled the remainder of the year — losing five of its final eight games — Schwartz found it difficult to sit on the bench.

“Watching the games from the bench was hard,” he said. “I think I could have been the difference of the outcome of the game.

It’s just disappointing.”

But all was not lost for Schwartz as he gained valuable lessons by watching the game from the sidelines.

“I did learn a lot from the bench,” Schwartz said. “It showed me what coach Garris always talks about during practice.”

“I’m hoping he learned a lot,” Garris added. “We won’t know until we start in the fall. I know he’s made comments sitting over there and seeing things out on the court. It’s a different perspective for him. Hopefully it was a good learning expe-

rience for him. Kids sometimes don’t see things the way we do.”

A month ago, Schwartz discarded his arm cast and was back on the court.

Two weeks later he even participated in the Greenwave’s short summer season where they hosted the Greenwave Shootout and traveled to several other schools to play games.

“I’m not 100 percent, but probably 75 percent,” Schwartz said. “I’m a little rusty still.”

Luckily Schwartz — predominantly left-handed — injured his right hand.

“That was good,” He said about injuring his offhand. “It shouldn’t mess with my shooting much. I don’t think it will keep me from shooting or dribbling the ball. I don’t think it hurt me as bad as it would have if it was my left hand.”

There was an immediate impact on Meade County’s offense this summer, with Schwartz’s return.

“I don’t think he’s back yet,” Garris said. “But he looked good. The shooting and conditioning wasn’t there, but that’s expected.”

Schwartz missed a total of three months after the injury. He also waited an extra month to make sure everything was healed.

“They thought about putting a pin in it,” he said, “but instead I wore a forearm cast for six weeks and then I wore a short arm cast for another six weeks.”

The injury also had Schwartz a little worried as he returned to basketball court this summer.

“I was kind of a little timid to dive on the floor and go after loose balls,” he said.

“I felt like I was out of place and didn’t know what was going on at first. But I think at the end of summer I started to get back.”

The Meade County junior is also a member of Meade County’s baseball team and sat out the entire spring season.

“My swing hasn’t been

SPORTS

100 percent,” he said. “I’m not swinging as hard as I want to be. Catching the ball can hurt too.”

Schwartz’s main focus is basketball though. Next season the team will return all but two players. The team helped fill the void of losing Schwartz by having several players improve their offensive output.

“We had some people step up,” Garris said. “After that it seemed like there was someone different each game that was our leading scorer (for the game).

“The good thing is all five players we’re going to start next year has led us in scoring for at least a game. It was bad for him (Schwartz) but it was good for everyone else from that standpoint. They got their offense going too.”

The Greenwave was sophomore heavy last season, which included three starting sophomores, Thomas Wilson, Bo Wilson and Chase Garris, chipped in as the top scorers for most of the season.

The three players now have played more than 50 games in their young careers.

“We’re still young, but we’re not inexperienced,” Garris said. “I think Cheaney is the only one who hasn’t played over 50 games. We’re still learning though.”

Garris said that not many senior basketball players compete in that many games their entire careers. That experience is finally showing.

“We did some things I didn’t see us do last summer,” he added “I think that’s the difference right now. We’re going to be a better team next season. “ The Greenwave will be even stronger with their strongest offensive chain link back on the court.

“Now we’re just starting to find our way,” Schwartz said. “We had a winning record over the summer. We’re pushing the ball up the floor and I think we’ll be pretty good next year actually.”

Library splashes into summer with fun events

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Throughout the month of June, students have splashed off summer with a little help from the Meade County Public Library.

The MCPL held activities as part of its Family Summer Reading Events, which runs every Friday during June and the first week in July.

•On June 11, students celebrated the kick off of summer break and learned a few things at David T. Wilson Elementary The Meade County Public Library’s summer reading program held a picnic at DTW as part of its Family Summer Reading Events.

“The kids have a ball,” said Donna Fackler, a MCPL employee who helped run the event. “Our theme is ‘Make a Splash’ … so all the activities have a water theme.”

To go along with the theme, the picnic had a duck pond, foam-o-rater, water balloon volleyball, tug-of-war and some kids participated in a water balloon fight. Other activities included corn hole and elbow tag. Snacks and refreshments were served in the cafeteria.

•Students learned how marine life lives in “Life in the Sea with Mad Science,” Friday, June 18 at DTW. Participants had the opportunity explore the oceans with hands-on experiments and learn about underwater life as well as create Father’s Day crafts.

Chrissy Benson, from the program Mad Science with Kentucky, was on hand to guide students through life underwater and what those animals have to do to survive.

For example, participants were able to put a penny in salt water and see what caused it to float to the surface. Another activity included making different layers out of corn syrup and vegetable oil, throwing in different objects and depending on the density, see which layer the objects rested in. The layers were meant to represent the different eco-zones in the ocean.

“We call it imaginative learning … learn by hands-on activities,” Benson said.

•On Friday, MCPL will hold a videogame tournament at DTW. •On July 2, “Fire and Ice with Mad Science,” will show students foggy dry ice storms, gravity defying beach balls and a burp flavored potion. They will even get a chance to participate in a bubble shower.

4-H youth get excited over new entolmology course Carole Goodwin 4-H & Youth Development

It looks like a giant mosquito. In fact, some people call this insect a “skeeter eater” even though the adult doesn’t eat anything at all. Its back end appears to droop and it doesn’t fly very well. It has long jointed legs and a wingspan of up to two inches. It is seen most often in the spring and fall resting on flowers or hovering around doors and windows. What is it?

This is just one of hundreds of mysteries waiting to be solved by Kentucky’s 4-H entomology detectives and some of the best insect sleuths are found in 4-H entomology clubs. Club activities offer youth a world of discovery about nature and some of the smallest and most fascinating creatures that share our planet.

Battletown Elementary School Honor Roll- last six weeks

Insects are the most abundant animals on earth with more than one million different identified species.

They live in just about every situation and habitat. Masters of camouflage, many insects use color and shape to survive. Some, like the Walking Stick, blend easily into their surroundings.

Others, like the Ladybug, use bright colors to frighten predators.

The approach of warmer weather signals the start of the active portion of the life cycle for many insects. At the same time, 4-H groups around the state are pulling out nets and identification guides in hopes of adding to their collections.

Entomology projects help youths develop skills including observation, research and teamwork.

By exploring diverse habitats, youths also discover the synergistic relationship between insects and the trees and flowers they pollinate. The same scientific principles rein-

force school studies that explore the biological activities of eating, mating, laying eggs, metamorphosis and death.

4-H youths can enter their entomology collections into competition at the Kentucky State Fair.

The State Fair Collection Guide is available through the Meade County extension office or can be downloaded from the University of Kentucky College Of Agriculture’s Department of Entomology Web site.

Go to www.ca.uky.edu/ entomology/dept/youth/ asp. Did you read ahead?

The answer to the question at the top of the page is the Crane Fly. There are several species in Kentucky and they are easy to catch with a net. You can learn more about the Crane Fly by visiting the website listed above.

Sioux Thomas paints a sun-catcher at the summer craft camp held at David T. Wilson Elementary in Brandenburg June 15.

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

Creativity was abound at Stuart Pepper Middle School Tuesday, June 15 as a group of students participated in the annual Summer Craft Camp.

Participants were able to go to different stations where they could make beaded necklaces out of clay, create a clock out of old CDs, melt crayons to make bookmarks, bedazzle hats and make sun-catchers.

Drinks and pizza were served to the students at the three hour camp. Eight people participated in the camp, which is free to all students.

According to Diana Seal, Young Adult Coordinator at Meade County Public Library, this is the third year they have held the camp with the Youth Services Department at SPMS. “It’s a hands-on camp,” Seal said. “It allows the kids to be pretty creative.”

Seal, a native of Germany, said the camp is aimed towards seventh and eighth graders.

She tries to have a variety of crafts available to students each year and encourages interest in the arts.

“It’s important for kids to do things like that,” she said. “It makes their imagination grow.”

Debbie Canavera, youth services coordinator at SPMS, agreed with Seal, adding that the camp gives students who aren’t involved with sports or clubs a connection to school.

Camp teaches kids healthy exercise, while having fun

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard With their bathing suits on and their goggles tied tight, students in the Doe Valley swim camp are ready and eager to show the pool who’s boss.

The Doe Valley swim camp began in early June and will run through mid-July.

Groups meet every Tuesday and Thursday morning at the pool.

Meg King, who runs the swim camp, said this is the eighth year camp has been held.

She added the overall goal is to turn all participants into swimmers, even if they choose not to join a team.

“I tell them they can never take (what they learned) away,” King said. “All types of kids can do swim-

ming … the goal is to get them moving.”

Swim camp is aimed for 9-13 year olds and is seperated into different groups for beginners and more advanced swimmers.

“It kind of opens up the pool to different levels of kids,” King said.

Approximately eight students help teach campers about basics of swimming.

Most of them are from Meade County High School’s swim team.

In the beginning, the camp teaches the basics of swimming, such as, breathing and kicking techniques, freestyle, breast-stroke, butterfly stroke and backstroke.

Towards the end of camp, kids participate in a swim meet that showcases each swimmers’ talent.

“The kids get so excited,”

King said. “It’s the best thing … it’s a really fun event.”

King added she enjoys seeing beginner campers work their way up to become better swimmers by the end of the season. This type of camp also teaches participants a fun way to exercise, without realizing it.

“It’s good for their spirits,” King said. “You don’t realize how much your doing for yourself … it gets everything.”

Overall, King is excited about the positive reception she has received concerning the swim camp.

“I think it’s a great sign,” she said. “It’s a sign there is a newfound passion for water and a whole new world of swimmers.”

Ryan Butler, a third grader at Brandenburg Primary, browses through the books at BPS.

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

For some Brandenburg Primary students, summer is a time of having fun, yet maintaining what they learned throughout the previous school year.

Brandenburg Primary and KERAlot II Family Resource Center are offering an extended learning program available to all students in grades 1-4 at BPS or David T. Wilson Elementary.“Keep on Learning” will be offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Tuesday till July 20 at BPS’s library.

According to BPS Lab Manager Pam Harshfield, the “Keep on Learning” program has been offered for several years now. Parents are able to bring their kids to check out books in the library, play on the computers and work on subjects they have difficulty with. Students do not have to attend the program every day and the goal of “Keep on Learning” is to assist parents with maintaining their child’s skills, as well as giving students the opportunity to learn more.

Harshfield added there have been times when students used the program to film movies, though it typically depends on how many people attend the event.

‘Pick of destiney’: a really good cult classic Shawn Hughes Jr. Old & New Movie Reviews This one is a very special request from a very dear friend, whose simple little suggestion is what got me started on the road to writing reviews in the first place. This one’s for you, buddy.

Now, how shall I begin?

Well, “Tenancious D in the Pick of Destiney” is a Jack Black movie. For many people, this in itself will be enough of an indication as to the quality and subject matter of the film. It follows the exploits of real-life band mates Black and Kyle Gass on their quest to become the greatest rock stars of all time with the help of a magical guitar pick — the “Pick of Destiny.” Along the way, they learn that guitar solos can literally blow people’s minds, that power slides are both epic and life-saving, and that Sasquatch makes a pretty gnarly daddy.

Yes, it really is as idiotic as it sounds. The entire film can be neatly summed up as a farcical romp through every major facet of the vast mythos of rock music. It’s a movie that revels in its own absurdity, made all the more ludicrous by the characteristically inane personalities of its lead performers.

That being said, I must admit that, despite any precon-

ceived notions I may have had about the movie (or Jack Black, for that matter), I actually found this to be pretty easy to sit through once I allowed myself to be sucked in by the utter ridiculousness of it all. It’s simply overflowing with a sense of unchecked bravado, and while I still believe that the musical and thespian “genius” of Jack Black is a highly debatable topic, I cannot deny that this is probably his most effective comedic performance … even if he is just playing himself.

There’s no denying that this is an indie film at heart, one that easily fits the definition of a cult movie (a movie that has a small, but very loyal fanbase).

This in itself is something I can understand and respect, seeing as how I am partial to a few cult rarities myself. Such movies are ones that I love immensely and have a deep appreciation for, but realize at the same time that they certainly are not something that everyone can take a liking to.

And so I think it’s safe to say that the only people who are qualified to review a film such as this are those for whom the film was expressly intended. I am not one of those people.

But in the absence of an actual starred review, suffice it to say that I enjoyed this fun little excursion much more than I thought I was going to. And coming from me, that’s saying a lot.
