Muldraugh seeks control of wild cats
Meade County is reaping the benefits of $151 million in funding from BRAC regional growth projects, it was announced last week. “With the phenomenal onset of the growth and transition brought about by BRAC at Fort Knox, this region of the Commonwealth is growing by leaps and bounds,” Gov. Steve Beshear
said in a press release. “Our military is one of our greatest partners and today we would like to show our commitment to seeing this region through its growing pains. The $151 million in transportation and infrastructure improvements will go a long way toward building roads, water and wastewater projects to help sustain the many workers, families and residents who are using these resources
every day.” The money will fund 15 infrastructure projects in the Fort Knox region — three of which are in Meade County. “This is a major, major deal for this part of the state. This is a big plus for Meade County,” Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said. Infrastructure projects funded by the money include a water treatment
plant upgrade and an elevated water tank for the City of Brandenburg, which were included in the 11 water and wastewater projects in the region totaling $38.4 million. “That’s very important, because once they do this, they can provide the county with more water and what that means is we won’t have to buy water from Hardin See BRAC, Page A2
Hoggin’ all the glory
By Casey Tolliver The News Standard A lack of laws preventing the capture of feral and tame cats has prompted Muldraugh officials to take matters into their own hands. The city recently purchased live traps to capture cats which, unlike dogs, are allowed to roam free due to current county laws. See CATS, Page A7

spotlighted in a less than clandestine manner when he won Supreme Grand Champion Market Hog at the 2010 Kentucky State Fair last Thursday. And it has been said that Barger, the son of Gary and Shirley Barger of Brandenburg, was destined to be a hog shower since birth. “He (Brian) wanted me to
show ever since I was born,” Barger said. “We raised a pig for me to show and I loved it the minute I started and it just proceeded from there.” Barger’s love for showing hogs snowballed into a showcase of his hard work and natural talent that culminated with the showing of his gilt, Fancy. Butler took note of Barger’s
natural abilities that would thrust him into hog showing greatness. “Gary Nelson just had an interest in pigs from the start,” Butler said. “He’s a kid that is very competitive and has worked hard from the start. Last Thursday, everything just See CHAMPION, Page A7

A2 - The News Standard
By Brian Graves The News Standard
The sounds of battle roared above them once more, but it was different this time. Those sounds were in salute of their service and they were often drowned out by cheers from an appreciative crowd. That was part of the scene Thursday as Fort Knox ushered in the first of four days designed to show long overdue appreciation to those who served in the Vietnam War. The event was part of “Thank You From The Heartland: A Salute to Vietnam Veterans” and included all the military honors normally accorded heroes. Fort Knox officials say the event exceeded all expectations. One of the great surprises was the number of veterans who made their way to Fort Knox for the ceremony. Officials had 10 buses waiting to carry the vets in VIP style from the Patton Museum to Brooks Parade Field. However, once those buses emptied at the site, five had to be returned to pick up the remainder. Estimates placed the number of Vietnam veterans participating in the morning’s ceremonies at more than 1,000 and more than 2,500 watched and cheered as the honors were presented. After the veterans left their buses, they lined up and marched to the field surrounded by members of the Fort Knox JROTC and troops now serving at the post. Hundreds of spectators rushed up along the sides as well adding to cheers, colorful signs, and applause. The veterans lined up in a row easily stretching the length of a football field as three Vietnam-era helicopters circled overhead before landing behind the veterans’ seating area. “Welcome home!” exclaimed LTG Benjamin Freakley, commanding general, U.S. Army Accessions Command and Fort Knox. Freakley noted there were still more than 2,000 missing in action and asked the crowd to join in a moment of silence in remembrance of those soldiers. He noted that Hollywood had portrayed the soldiers of Vietnam as unwilling draftees who did not want to serve. “The reality is that twothirds of the 2.6-million who served in Vietnam were volunteers,” Freakley said.

A Fort Knox soldier embraces a Vietnam veteran on her way to be seated at the base’s salute to the veterans. came when Freakley quoted from a column written by Virginia Sen. James Webb, who is himself a veteran of the Vietnam War. “College protestors were spoiled brats who would have benefited from having to work a few jobs in order to pay their tuition. Vietnam represented a battlefield that was just as brutal and just as tough and demanded the same valor and courage their fathers faced in World War II and Korea,” the quote read. Freakley said it was because of these veterans’ service the modern military has become the best in the world. “Today’s military stands on the shoulders of giants — your shoulders,” Freakley continued. “Today you’re home, you’re home.” Emotions ran high throughout the ceremony and at this point in his speech, even Freakley had to stop for a brief moment. A lone Army shout of “Hoo-hah” broke the silence. The crowd cheered and Freakley responded saying, “I needed that moment, thanks.” He went on to note how even though they were originally welcomed with support, Vietnam veterans continually offer volunteerism for their comrades in arms. “When you didn’t receive the support, you didn’t bury your head. You came home with pride and you stand beside our fallen and their families and remember. Thank you,” Freakley.
“You serve and continue to serve.” “You were never defeated on any battlefield in Vietnam, Laos or Cambodia. You know you served a worthy cause. We are grateful for your service. We are humbled to be with you today. We are proud to serve in the army you built,” Freakley said in concluding his remarks. After the ceremony, many of the veterans mingled around the three helicopters. Many posed sitting in them with friends or grandchildren. Walking through the crowd, it was impossible not to move from one story being told to another. The veterans were treated to a lunch and many went to view the Vietnam Traveling Wall, where some could be seen with a list in their hand searching for the location of a familiar name. Freakley told The News Standard after the ceremony, “Thursday’s ‘Welcome Home Ceremony’ here at Fort Knox was a great start to the community-wide recognition of our veterans. We were proud and humbled to meet so many of the region’s veterans who served so selflessly in Vietnam. “Our nation owes a great debt of gratitude to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guard for their service over 35 years ago. We were honored to have the Fort Knox family reach out and connect with our Vietnam veterans.”

“Talk, Don’t Yell”
When life gives you lemons, move on Jennifer Corbett Corbett’s Corner Now, I don’t mean to be Debbie Downer, but the real world isn’t all puppies and rainbows. I, personally, am starting to figure this out. At 23 years old, I’m a mere baby to some people who have been in the workforce for quite some time. I still have a lot to learn and changing my outlook is one of them. I consider myself to be an optimistic person, who tries to see the good in everyone and everything. I never realized it, until now, that I tend to sugarcoat ideas and stories. I think everything is great, life is great and nothing can go wrong. But I haven’t gotten down to the real nitty gritty. I’ve been twirling along the outskirts of life, thinking that everything is hunkey dorey. As much as I hate to admit it, the world isn’t this great, magnificent thing I concocted in college. I’ve learned that not everything is black and white. There are some gray areas in life that I’ve never learned about before. The world works in mysterious ways, and I guess, my attitude adjustment is one of them. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is good to think positive, but be realistic. To be honest, after living on
Rich Lowry National Review There was a time when Barack Obama disavowed his middle name, Hussein. During the 2008 campaign, Obama’s aides bristled even at references to him by his initials BHO, so sensitive were they to the offending “H.” Then, after he won the election, he proudly brandished his middle name as evidence of his connection to the Muslim world and of America’s tolerant embrace of people with even the most exotic backgrounds. With new polls showing 18 percent (in a Pew Research poll) or 24 percent (in a Time magazine survey) believing Obama is a Muslim, the name Hussein is surely headed back to a secure, undisclosed location. That a sliver of Americans
college, I was taught to get out there and question everything, even the minor details. I guess my excitement of having a real job made me lose focus of what I’m supposed to do. I’ve learned that being a journalist entails viewing situations with a clear mind and not having an opinion about it. As journalists, we’re supposed to showcase both sides. Not the “Yay! Everything is great!” aspect; because truth be told sometimes those smiles are all smoke and mirrors. I’ve realized I need to view each assignment differently, since every situation is not the same. Some stories deserve praise, while some need to be investigated. I’ve also learned to apply that to my personal life. I’ve over-analyzed every minor detail about my life, to the point where it would drive me insane, including my boyfriend. I would try too hard to say the right things, wear the right outfit and put on the persona of being perfect, but that’s not reality either. It wasn’t until I talked with a good friend of mine that I realized that it’s OK to say “screw it” every once and a while. Sometimes things just don’t work out my way, and as much as I don’t like it, it’s a part of life. I do have to admit, my attitude changed a bit after covering Rachel’s Challenge at Stuart Pepper Middle School last Friday. The assembly was about Rachel Scott who
was killed on April 20, 1999, during Colorado’s Columbine High School massacre. As her uncle, Larry Scott, told Rachel’s story, it stuck with me. Rachel was such a beam of energy that always lit up a room. What struck me most was when they showed how Rachel drew an outline of her hands on the back of her dresser and said “These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of peoples hearts.” Through her actions, Rachel reached out to all students who tend to get made fun of the most. Even after her untimely death, her positive legacy still lives on through “Rachel’s Challenge.” I’ve never met Rachel, but after listening to her story, I felt like, if she were still alive, I could tell her anything. Through all the negativity in the world, she still saw the best in everyone and reached out to those who felt left out. Through my experience, I’ve learned that a positive outlook can’t be taught in a classroom, by your parents and through your peers. People create their view on the world through experience and learning from their mistakes. But through all of that, it’s vital to keep your head up, but also be realistic at the same time. It’s essential to realize when life just isn’t working out in your favor and to just say “screw it” and move on to the next big thing.

verted him to Christianity and was the fount of preacherly wisdom from whom Obama ripped off his most famous rhetorical riff, “the audacity of hope.” The next, he’d hardly heard of the good reverend. An element of the Obamais-a-Muslim opinion is perfervid critics wanting to believe the worst of him, but not all. According to Pew, the number of Americans who identify him as Christian has declined from 51 percent in October 2008 to just 34 percent. The more we see of him, the less we know of him. Only 46 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of blacks think Obama is a Christian. His faith simply hasn’t made an impression on the public. Compared with his predecessors, Obama is as transparent as a billiard ball. You knew George W. Bush was an unapologetically probusiness, freedom-spreadin’ Texas evangelical. You knew
Bill Clinton was a flawed but brilliant Southern operator, part of whose charm was the ability to lie with impressive fluidity. Who is Obama? He’s a man constantly traveling under a cloak of ideological falsity, since he can’t speak frankly of his big-government ambitions. He’s emotionally remote. And he’s the product of life experiences alien even to his most natural supporters. In the heat of the controversy over her firing from the Agriculture Department, civilrights activist Shirley Sherrod pointedly noted that Obama “is not someone who has experienced what I have experienced through life.” He’s the cipher in chief, overexposed but underperforming, as detached as a law-school lecturer. President Obama is assuredly not a Muslim. For many of his countrymen, though, he remains a question mark. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

In a rebuke to geography teachers everywhere, 10 percent of people either don’t think Hawaii is part of the United States or aren’t sure. Twenty percent believe aliens have contacted us here on Earth. And 11 percent have confidence in the United States Congress. But the numbers tell us something important about President Obama: We don’t know him. The most powerful and famous man in the country is still the mysterious stranger.

my own for quiet some time now I’ve realized that parts of the real world stinks. It isn’t this happy, lovable place that I imagined in college. In the real world, if you don’t pay your bills things get turned off, not everybody makes millions of dollars, drive the nicest of cars or live in giant mansions. Entering the adult workforce has taken some time getting used to and differentiate from living on your own in college. They are two completely diverse worlds. In college, I had a reason to be optimistic — that was a time in my life where I could have fun. College didn’t show me that the real world is hard since it seemed like so many of my classmates were awarded prestigious careers on a silver platter after they graduated. My parents taught me that if I work hard it would pay off in the end. But sometimes, that road isn’t easy and it comes with some bumps in the road. I’ve learned this after a few months transitioning into adulthood. When I first entered the workforce, I was always smiling and had a cheerful aspect to me, almost like a giddy cheerleader. I would view my assignments a little too positively with a big grin from ear to ear thinking “OMG! Yay! This is awesome!” You get my point. But after a quick dose of reality, I realized being too positive is not my job. In

GENERAL CONTACT INFORMATION
There was a time when members of Congress actually talked to each other. Without regard to party affiliation, they would travel, eat and socialize together. Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Democrat, recently spoke at the funeral of former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, a Republican. He recalled how the two of them found much common ground and became fast and good friends. They would visit at each other’s homes, their children became friends, and most amazing of all they actually would campaign for each other. There are other such stories throughout political lore and it proves how much our politics have degraded into one, giant yell fest that has given little, no, or bad results. Times were when Congressional members didn’t take the first VIP jet home. They actually got in cars and drove the hundreds of miles together. The late Rep. Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois was at one time the most powerful Democrat on Capitol Hill. He was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee which wielded power and money when budget time came. The Republican leader at the time was former Rep. Robert Michael, who hailed from Illinois as did “Rosty.” When they would go home during recess, they hopped in a car and drove the nearly 1,000 miles together. Along the way, they discussed their families, good fishing spots, life in general, and by the time they would return to Washington there may have still been some disagreements, but they found ways to compromise and work together. Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, when needing some help on the Hill, would call Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen over to the White House. Over a few glasses of scotch or bourbon, the two would have an informal chat and by the time it was concluded, the two had figured out a way they could both get done what they wanted. There was no refusal to even talk with the other side of the aisle. These were people who became good friends and although they may have served on the philosophical opposite side of the aisle, they realized that to get things done, they didn’t have to hate or personally attack each other. And, that atmosphere seemed to be much more constructive than what is being produced these days. The country is now less than two months from Election Day. It is an overused thought that “This election is the most important of your lifetime.” But, in this case it may come as close as ever. It’s time for the voters to find the right people and not necessarily the right party to serve in office. There is an urgent need for a Congress who has sides that don’t just want to ram things through or be negative toward any idea. There is no one person or party who has the copyright on the solutions to the major problems the county faces. Both parties seem to have gone further to the extremes as they fight one another. And, the further they go, the louder and more crass they get. The cable network pundits certainly don’t help any. Agree or disagree, these are people who are in the business of ratings and the louder they get, the more attention they get. It’s a free market country and if people want to watch, that’s their right. Those programs do provide some interesting discussions and provoke questions and thoughts that can be productive. It’s just, as with the politicians, it’s time to tone it down. Fighting, yelling, and blaming the other side is not going to solve any problems. Just as a medical operation requires the skills of several different physicians, so it is with politics. The need is great for people in office to have the skills of constructive debate, common sense, a moral compass, and a large dose of reality. There will be no easy, comfortable or fast solutions to the problems America faces. Because of that, voters should also practice those same skills. Before reaching the polling booth this year, there needs to be a serious study of the candidates, their beliefs, their philosophy, and their character. That homework should not come from just cable commentators or political advertising. Voters, who should take this responsibility seriously, must check out the facts and be as studied as the candidates should be themselves. There have been a lot of empty promises about changing the tone in Washington. There needs to be a changing of the tone altogether. Hopefully, the next election will see the choice of men and women who will do just that. Politics is the art of compromise. No candidate can promise everything they want will happen. There will be no candidate upon who the voter will be able to agree on totally. But, there must be some good, decent people who can do the jobs without rancor or bitterness. The fighting and fussing has to stop or nothing will change. Abraham Lincoln could have well been speaking of our times when he said, “A house divided against itself will not stand.” That cautionary statement still holds true.

The News Standard/Jennifer Corbett
Larry Scott showed footage of the funeral for his niece Rachel Scott, who died at the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. He challenged Stuart Pepper Middle School students to start a chain reaction and to spread positivity.
Rachel From page A1 family found an essay Rachel had written just a few weeks before her death. Her essay dubbed “My Ethics. My Codes of Life,” challenged its readers to start a chain reaction of kindness and that’s exactly what her organization, Rachel’s Challenge, is setting out to do. Rachel’s Challenge encourages people around the country to do random acts of kindness and reach out to those who tend to be forgotten. “It was the little things she did everyday that have affected people,” Larry said. “If she were here right now, I think she would say ‘My dreams came true.’” During his speech, Larry played powerful videos and audio footage from the fateful day over 10 years ago. Even though so much time has passed, it still sent chills down the spines of everyone and left some in tears. Larry showcased Rachel’s core goals by speaking about five main rules that would help make SPMS a better place. First off, Larry said to “look for the best in others and eliminate prejudice.” To correlate his point, Larry spoke about how Rachel had many influences in her life and the main one was Anne Frank. Harris and Klebold’s idol was Adolf Hitler. “Anne Frank was her idol,” Larry said. “Both Anne Frank and Rachel Scott died from the influences of Hitler. Even though they both died young, they both believed in writing down their dreams.” Larry challenged the students to write down their dreams and said that a dream is only a wish unless it’s in writing.
One such example of Rachel writing down her dreams happened when she was 13 years old. She drew an outline of both of her hands on the back of her dresser and wrote, “These hands belong to Rachel Joy Scott and will someday touch millions of peoples’ hearts.” Larry noted that Rachel didn’t put ‘maybe’ when she wrote that down, she said she is going to make a difference. That was a lead-in to Larry’s second goal for the students, which was “dare to dream, write goals and keep a journal.” “In the next 30 days, I want to challenge you to keep a journal,” Larry said during the assembly. “Rachel had her diary with her the day she died. A bullet hole lay beneath where she wrote ‘I won’t be labeled.’” The third goal for the students was to “choose positive influences.” “What you feed on causes you to be the person you will become over time,” Larry said. “Eric and Dylan chose a dark world. Hitler was their hero. What are you choosing students? If you choose positive influences for your life, most likely you will be a positive person.” According to Larry, Rachel showed her positivity by reaching out to three different groups of people: disabled, new students and people who are picked on or put down. For example, a student named Amber Jackson was new at Columbine High School. No one welcomed her. But when Rachel saw her sitting alone eating lunch, she brought her friends over to eat lunch with Amber. Another example was about a student named Adam, who was disabled and brutally picked on. One day some boys were pushing Adam around and to stop it,
Rachel jumped in the middle, clinched her fists and said, “if you touch him again, you will have to go through me.” Without realizing it, Rachel saved Adam’s life as he was preparing to commit suicide the next week, Larry said. The fourth guideline was to “use kindness, little acts of kindness can have huge results.” “That is how we need to live our lives,” Larry said. “Rachel said ‘People don’t realize how far a little kindness can go.’” An interesting part of the assembly came when Larry spoke about Frank, a businessman from Cincinnati, who called Rachel’s dad Darrell six weeks after her death. Frank spoke about how he kept dreaming of Rachel’s eyes — they were crying and the tears created life. At first, Darrell didn’t think anything of it. Until the sheriff’s department returned Rachel’s backpack seven days later. Darrell found Rachel’s diary and her last entry was two eyes that were crying, 13 tears to be exact, they turned into blood drops that led into a blossoming flower. The fifth and final challenge of the assembly was to “start a chain reaction” by signing the Rachel’s Challenge banner and promising to be a better person. “I hope all of you will leave here a different person,” Larry said during the event. “You all will be nice. If you all do this, Stuart Pepper Middle School will be the safest school and it will make you a better person.” “No doubt, we’ll have 820 people sign this banner and not let her dream die,” said Chad Butler, principal of SPMS. “If we sign our name on it, we will mean it.

The News Standard - A5
Glad Tidings Church installs new pastor with open arms By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard For Larry Powell, Brandenburg is a new and exciting place full of people he could reach out to and affect positively. Powell, along with his wife, Joy, and son, Kevin, recently moved from Panama City, Fla., to Brandenburg after Powell was dubbed the new pastor at Glad Tidings Christian Center. From the get go, Powell said he has felt welcomed. “I’ve felt like we’ve had a good connection,” he said. “We’re very excited about being here.” Powell was installed as the new pastor at Glad Tidings Sunday. Powell and his wife both read and accepted their new job duties. “I acknowledge the divine commission given to me,” Powell said during the sermon. “I accept the position of senior pastor.” Glad Tidings Christian Center has been through a lot this year, so Powell is looking at his new job as a fresh start for the church. “We’re going to try to reach out to everyone,” he said. “We’ll try to spread the word and a lot of it is through the excitement of people.” One way the church plans to do that is by holding a homecoming service in September to reach out to former members or prospective members. Powell plans on doing his part by preaching a positive ministry and being a friend to those in need. “I’m looking forward to moving forward,” Powell said. For now, Powell and his family are enjoying the warm reception they have felt from the community. “It’s really nice to get back to a hometown atmosphere,” he said.

Kids tire easily as they progress through puberty James Dobson Focus on the Family QUESTION: My 13-yearold daughter has become increasingly lazy the past couple of years. She lies around the house and will sleep half a day on Saturday. She complains about being tired a lot. Is this typical of early adolescence? How should I deal with it? DR. DOBSON: It is not uncommon for boys and girls to experience fatigue during the years of puberty. Their physical resources are being invested in a rapid growth process during that time, leaving less energy for other activities. This period doesn’t last very long and is usually followed by the most ener-
getic time of life. I would suggest, first, that you schedule your daughter for a routine physical examination to rule out the possibility of a more serious explanation for her fatigue. If it does turn out to be a phenomenon of puberty, as I suspect, you should “go with the flow.” See that she gets plenty of rest and sleep. This need is often not met because teenagers feel that they shouldn’t have to go to bed as early as they did when they were children. Therefore, they stay up too late and then drag through the next day in a state of exhaustion. Surprisingly, a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old actually needs more rest than when he or she was nine or ten, simply because of the acceleration in growth. In summary, your daughter is turning overnight from a girl into a woman.
Some of the physical characteristics you are observing are part of the transformation. Do everything you can to facilitate it. QUESTION: How can parents prepare their younger children for the assault on self-esteem that is almost certain to come in adolescence? That was a tough time for me, and I want it to be easier for my kids. DR. DOBSON: Well, one important approach is to teach boys and girls valuable skills with which they can compensate in years to come. They can benefit from learning something that will serve as the centerpiece of their self-concept during the difficult years. This would include learning about basketball, tennis, electronics, art, music or even raising rabbits for fun and profit. It’s not so much what you
Even though he suffered, Paul prepared to service the Lord Dan Newton Divine Guidance
2 Timothy 4: 21 - 22 says, “Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” (KJV) These are the final words of the apostle Paul, written shortly before he was beheaded. Despite his faithfulness and fruitfulness in the Lord’s service, he was now penniless, lonely, and cold. Yet he was not complaining. “I am now ready to be offered. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” He did yearn to see Timo-
thy, his beloved son in the faith, before he died. “Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me.” (v. 9) “Without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy.“ (1: 3 - 4) Paul made one especially touching request of Timothy, “The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.“ Paul didn’t even have a coat in the cold prison, and winter was approaching. yet, even under such miserable circumstances, he still desired to keep reading and studying, preparing himself better for any future service the Lord might still have for him. With a contrast there would be between his present circumstances abused by his
enemies and forsaken even by most of his friends and the glorious reception awaiting him in the near future. “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.“ (v. 8) Paul has left us a worthy example he had kept the faith, had gladly suffered the loss of all things for Christ (Phil. 3: 8), and was still studying, witnessing, teaching, encouraging, and exhorting, even to the day of his death. If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morning service starts at 11 a.m. We invite you to listen to our weekly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.
teach your child. The key is that he or she learns something with which to feel good when the whole world seems to be saying, “Who are you and what is your significance as a human being?” The teenager who has no answer to those questions is left unprotected at a very vulnerable time of life. Developing and honing skills with which to compensate may be one of the most valuable contributions parents can make during the elementary school years. It may even be worth requiring your carefree kid to take lessons, practice, compete and learn something he or she will not fully appreciate for a few more years. QUESTION: Should school children be required to wear clothes that they dislike? DR. DOBSON: Gener-
ally not. Children are very concerned about the threat of being laughed at by their friends and will sometimes go to great lengths to avoid that danger. Conformity is fueled by the fear of ridicule. Teens, particularly, seem to feel, “The group can’t laugh at me if I am identical to them.” From this perspective, it’s unwise to make a child endure unnecessary social humiliation. Children should be allowed to select their own clothes, within certain limits of budget and good taste. Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 (www. family.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Solid Answers” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both published by Tyndale House.
Pastor’s Spotlight I have had the opportunity to visit the Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky and learned quite a few things while I was there. For instance, we are constantly moving, even when we are standing still. Continental land masses sit on enormous slabs of rock that slide very slowly at the rate of 1 to 8 inches per year. America is gradually mov-
ing westward, away from Europe, at the rate of 3 inches per year. Our Milky Way galaxy is hurtling through space at 375 miles per second or 1.3 million miles per hour. But that’s not all. Within our own galaxy the sun and its solar system are zooming along at 12.4 miles per second (43,000 mph) in the direction of the star Vega in the Lyra constellation. Just as we are hurtling through the heavens at unimaginable speeds, so too we are moving from here to eternity. Our days and opportunities to live for the Lord pass
so rapidly that we cannot afford to waste time. One day your life will end, where will you spend eternity? That decision will be made in this life-time, providing you take the opportunity to settle things between you and God now, not putting it off until a more convinent time. The bible tells us that “now is the day of salvation.” What are you waiting for? Time is very rapidly passing by. Randy Johnson is the pastor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Andyville days to bring old school feel Sept. 11 By Casey Tolliver The News Standard In today’s high tech society, traditions and the old ways are fading fast in the wake of the information age. The newfound tradition of Andyville Day, which will be Saturday, Sept. 11 at Stull’s Country Store in Andyville, hopes to counteract the loss of old ways. “It started as a fluke,” Maury Stull, owner of Stull’s Country Store said. “Me and all the guys around here were working late at the store one night, and somebody said ‘Maury, you need to have a party’. So out of something tired, laborious and arduous came something fun.” Andyville Days, which mixes food, fun and festivities is held every other year and also serves as a reunion of sorts.

Stull’s Country Store from her parents in 2006, said that the celebration has morphed from party status to an “old-school community thing.” In 2006, the inaugural year of the shin dig, nearly 125 showed up to mix and mingle with friends and family members from the community that bonds them together, Stull said. This year’s event is set to feature food, drink, fun and games for children and adults, as well as music. A biggest ash contest will pit participants against each other to see who can burn the longest ash on a cigar without the ash falling off the tip. Andyville Day will also feature cornhole and horseshoe tournaments, where tossers will battle it out to see who is the best. The musical stylings of Hillbilly’s Having Fun, conference 10/20/10.

Lahue announces candidacy I, Nathan Lahue would like to announce my candidacy for Meade County Sheriff. I am the proud son of a deceased U.S. Air Force veteran, who served our nation honorably for 20 years. It was from him, that I learned what it meant to be a servant. I have been blessed through my father, to have lived all over the world experiencing other cultures and languages. I heard the call to enlist in our nation’s Army in 1996. I have served honorably in my father’s footsteps as an Armored Crewmember, as a Cavalry Scout, as a Drill Sergeant and Special Agent in our military. I achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice with a 3.91 GPA. I owe a debt of gratitude to my loving wife Christa and daughter Shelby, who have stood beside me every step of the way.
Nate Lahue I am a youth director at our local church, engaged with teaching the need for Christ in everyday lives. Through my travels and experience, I have learned to draw away from the false paradigm of the left-right politics. I have developed a healthy mistrust in big government, and seek to limit it. I believe the only way for evil to persist, is for good men and women to do nothing at all.
This is why I am running to be your Meade County Sheriff. I pledge to obey my oath to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, no matter how the political winds may change, and will stand up for what’s right. Moving to Meade County and getting to know the area has been a real joy. As an independent Sheriff candidate, I intend to use my skill sets, education, vibrant youth, and experience to improve the Law Enforcement here in Meade County — for the people, not the government. I want a wonderful place for my family to live, and a safe place where my daughter to grow-up. I ask and seek the support of all Meade County residents, to be your sheriff. If you want to know more about me and my views, call me 270-320-2273 or visit my Web site at www.DontTreadOnMeade.com

Cats From page A1 “A cat is considered a free roaming animal and I don’t understand why,” Muldraugh Mayor Danny Tate said. “There’s not a lot you can do. I think they need to change the law to where they’re not. Or, maybe the county can adopt an ordinance to say they’re not.” Concern over the feral felines was sparked when city officials received a complaint pertaining to feral cats and dogs excreting waste in yards from a concerned citizen at last month’s Muldraugh City Council meeting. To quell the problem, the city purchased four live traps to set up in feral cat problem areas. “We bought some traps and we’re having the ones we catch spayed and neutered and taking some of
them to the pound,” Tate said. So far, 10 felines have been captured since the trapping stint began just over a week ago. Tate said the goal is capturing at least 75 cats. The targeted areas so far have been Lynn Street, Oak Street and Beech Street. A couple of the cats captured so far were pets, he added. “We had to give two of them back, after we found out who the owners were,” Tate said. Though dogs were also mentioned at the meeting, the city is focused more on capturing cats than their canine counterparts. “The dog problem is not near as bad as the cat problem, because the dog warden drives and catches them and takes them to the pound,” Tate said. “The cat to dog ratio is 40:1, for every 40 cats we have running around, we have only one dog.”
Since cats are considered free roaming, the dog warden is prohibited from capturing them, Tate added. Though Meade County Animal Control’s hands are somewhat tied, the entity has been working with the city to get the problem under control and to ensure disease does not become an issue. “The dog catcher is working with owners who have too many animals, checking to see that they have all their shots and all the pens are healthy,” Tate said. The traps, which are being set by Muldraugh Public Works workers, have snared more than just the targeted felines. “We’ve caught things like possums and coons … we’ve caught a little bit of everything,” Tate said. “People who have cats and feed them outside, the varmints tend to feed on that too.”
Hubbard declares candidacy I, Mark Hubbard, after serving as the 3rd District magistrate of Meade County for the past four years, I would like to announce my candidacy for re-election. I am a lifelong resident of Meade County and have lived in the 3rd District for 46 years. I was born and raised in Guston and reside in Flaherty. For the past 20 years I have worked for Sysco Louisville Inc., where I am currently the Safety Manager. My responsibilities include OSHA compliance, employee safety and EPA compliance (federal, state, and local).
Mark Hubbard I have worked diligently to meet the needs of the residents of the 3rd District. During my tenure as magistrate, I have supported keeping property tax rates the same, while also man-
aging to pay off the solid waste debt. I also supported the expansion of satellite recycle center drop-off points and One Call Now — reverse 911 emergency notification. It has been an honor and privilege to serve the residents of the Guston, Flaherty and Otter Creek areas. If re-elected, I will continue to serve and support the 3rd District, as well as the growth and improvement of Meade County. I am asking for your support in re-electing me as your 3rd District Magistrate on Nov. 2, so I can continue to serve you.
Champion From page A1 came together for him. He did an outstanding job with the gilt Fancy.” For his outstanding efforts, Barger was rewarded handsomely for his nurturing of Fancy, who weighed 50 pounds when he got her in April and topped out at a whopping 272 pounds when she was sold last week. On top of his Grand Champion status, he was the recipient of more than $10,000 of the $17,500 price tag paid for Fancy. The rest of the prize money was divided between other winners and 4-H and FFA members. The funds will be added to Barger’s winnings from other hog showing prize monies — and will be deposited in his ever growing college fund. Barger said he wants to be a veterinarian when he gets older. Butler, who has been showing and raising hogs for nearly 25 years, not only introduced his younger cousin to the world of raising and showing swine, but was instrumental in the learning process and development into one of the top hog showers in the state. Barger insists that without the help of his older cousin, his state fair accolades would not have been possible. “Every morning at six, he was up there with me,” Barger said. “Brian, he lets me be a part of all this. If it wasn’t for Brian, none of this would be possible.” Butler has supported and prodded his younger cousin throughout his short but illustrious hog showing career, and even provided the first pig that the boy raised for show.
Trail From page A1 grant as part of the Federal Highway Administration’s Recreation Trails Program. “The development of trails is an important part of supporting our adventure tourism efforts in Kentucky,” Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear said in announcing the 25 counties to receive moneys from the grant. “I’m glad to see these communities and groups willing to

Gary Nelson poses wth his Kentucky state champion gilt. “It meant a lot that he would do that much for me,” Barger said. “I appreciate everything he does, because he does a lot for me. We both love doing it and it’s just really fascinating to both of us with all of this going on. He just really wants me to be the best that I can really be.” And although he won Supreme Grand Champion, Barger realizes he still has untapped potential and has not reached his best. He is looking forward to next year as an opportunity to shatter expectations placed after this year’s performance. “There’s always room for improvement,” he said. “But I think I’m doing pretty good. I’m getting pretty close. But it will all start over again next April and we’ll just see how things go.” According to the preteen champion hog shower, the hogs he works with provide the foundation for winning ways of the future. “We’re hoping they’ll do pretty good,” Barger said. “We have three fantastic sows that always give us great babies.” Gary Nelson, who has shown hogs for three years,
has fostered his award winning techniques by showing gilts and barrows at the Meade County and Kentucky State Fairs. “I give them a really good view of the hogs,” Barger said. “When I’m showing a hog, you’re supposed to drive like you’re not in there. They have to see all the view. I keep good eye contact with the judge and keep the hog at a good pace.” Although he has shown successfully in previous years, this year’s paramount march to the top of the state hog showing community has left an educating mark on Barger. “There’s a lot of different things I learned this year,” he said. “I learned that you’ve got to give a lot of effort and it takes hard work, and you’ve got to love your animal.” However, his previous experiences weren’t enough to prepare him to give up his love and fondness for Fancy. “It was really hard to leave her up there yesterday,” Barger said. “I just knew I was really going to miss her and I would never forget her. She has been a great hog for us. I was kind of sad. I didn’t want to leave her.”
contribute to our trail system. These trails can help improve our citizens’ health and serve as a tourist attraction as well.” Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said the grant was a welcomed one. “That is a popular site for many residents and to be able to get the funds to make it better is something we appreciate,” Craycroft said. He said plans are for the trail to be extended from where the black top area now ends to the river.
“This should extend the trail to a total of between two and two and a half miles,” Craycroft said. The project is already in the planning stages and the grant requires construction to begin within a year. “This should be done in a fairly reasonable amount of time,” he added. Among the areas receiving funds were Breckinridge County for the City of Hardinsburg Recreational Trail, $17,000 and Hardin County for the City of Elizabethtown Sports Park Trail, $80,000.

Submitted by the Ky. Office of Hwy. Safety LEXINGTON — The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is joining law enforcement and highway safety agencies across the nation to take part in the “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest” crackdown on impaired driving. KOHS officials, along with the Lexington Division of Police and former University of Kentucky head football coach Rich Brooks, promoted the campaign during a news conference today at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington. The campaign began Aug. 20 and runs through Labor Day. “All too often, we see innocent, law-abiding people suffer tragic consequences and the loss of loved ones due to this careless disregard for human life,” said KOHS Executive Director Chuck Geveden. “That is why law enforcement officers throughout the state are working to keep drunken drivers off the road.” Drunken driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2008 alone, nearly 12,000 people were killed in highway crashes involving a driver or motorcycle operator with a
blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher. Also according to NHTSA, young people age 21 to 24 account for the highest percentage of impaired drivers in fatal crashes. Brooks frequently speaks to young people about the responsibility that comes with the freedom to make choices in life, and warns of the negative consequences that could follow. “Even if you beat the odds and walk away from a drunken driving crash, violators often face jail time, loss of their driver’s license, higher insurance rates, attorney fees, lost work time and other expenses,” said Brooks. “The greatest risk, however, is taking someone’s life.” Last year, Kentucky recorded over 5,400 alcoholrelated crashes, resulting in 203 deaths and over 2,600 injuries. Fayette County ranked No. 2, with 475 such collisions, which caused 208 injuries and six fatalities. Lexington-Fayette Urban County Police Cmdr. Michael Blanton said enforcement officers are out in force during this holiday period. “We’ll be out day and night, but with a special emphasis during the high-risk nighttime hours, when impaired drivers are most likely to be on our roads,” Blanton said. “We will be watching, and if you are driving impaired,
I guarantee you will be arrested.” During the 2009 Labor Day holiday weekend, 10 people were killed and over 340 were injured on Kentucky roadways. Six of those deaths involved alcohol. Brooks warned everyone to think before getting behind the wheel. “A BAC of 0.08 is the legal limit, but that doesn’t mean you can safely drive at 0.07,” said Brooks. “Impairment begins as soon as you take that first drink, affecting your reaction time and ability to think clearly.” Geveden encouraged motorists to take a simple precaution to help prevent injury or death. “Wearing a seat belt is not only the law in Kentucky, but it is your best defense against an impaired driver,” said Geveden. Driving with a BAC of 0.08 or higher is illegal in every state. All states also have zero tolerance laws, which means it is illegal for anyone under 21 to drive after drinking any amount of alcohol. The national crackdown, led by NHTSA, combines high-visibility enforcement with heightened public awareness through advertising and publicity. “The message is clear and simple,” said Blanton. “If you are over the limit, you will be under arrest.”

Fundraising: a tiresome, yet vital aspect of schools 2010 SCHOOL SERIES
By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Editor’s Note: This is the sixth story in a seven-part series concerning different aspects of a student’s life in Meade County and the opportunities available to them. Each new school year brings in the joys of new math books, notebooks, sharpened pencils and every parent’s “favorite” duty — fundraising. As bothersome as they are, many athletic teams, clubs and extra-curricular activities view them as a necessity that keeps them afloat in a pool full of budget cuts and short falls. Whether it be candy bars, candles or chances — it seems as though students and parents alike are constantly asking for money or donations from the community to help aid each organization. School officials have even taken notice. “Our community is just bombarded (with fundraisers),” said Jason Sutton, director of pupil personnel. In Meade County, many fundraisers are either set by the particular club, the booster clubs, or the Parent Teacher Organization. According to Meade County Superintendent Mitch Crump, there are two different types of fundraisers. The boardapproved fundraisers include anything that involves students whether it be sports camps or selling discount cards. The other side includes the booster clubs and the Parent Teacher Organizations, who essentially can hold as many fundraisers as they like. Crump notes that with so many organizations and churches, the school must take into consideration how parents are already presented fundraisers from all angles. “We don’t want to saturate the community,” Crump said. “We try to minimize it as much as we can,” said John Proctor, athletic director at Meade County High School. This is where the booster clubs come into play. They are in place to help raise funds for extra activities such as trips and out-oftown tournaments or they cover extra t-shirts or supplies. On the other hand, the schools pay for the necessary equipment for the students’ safety such as kneepads, helmets and cleats. “Our boosters have been so good about taking care of athletes,” Proctor said. “And we could not operate without them.” Fortunately, there are restrictions and Proctor believes the fundraising structure ensures that the students aren’t overloaded. With so many organizations available for student involvement, the number of required fundraisers soon increases and businesses repeatedly get asked for money or donations. “We’re a small community and only have a limited number of retailers,” Proctor said. “I’ve been sympathetic of how hard we hit the retailers. But they’ve always been great about obliging.” Crump notes that even though it can be tiresome, fundraising can positively affect everyone in the area. For example, his wife bought a discount card from an organization for $10. It had a $3 coupon for haircuts and in turn, his family started to get their haircut from that particular hair dresser. “It creates a good traffic for the businesses,” he said. “The customer, business and organization can win.”
Crump noted that in the end, it creates a full circle. What he means is that the customer gets a great product, the business gets more exposure and the organization attains the needed funds. Along with businesses, many community members seem to be constantly asked for donations or to support a particular fundraiser. But, Crump said the schools try to approach the situation differently. “We try to stay away from donations,” Crump said. “A lot of times boosters can provide a nice quality product for a reasonable price.” In this day and age, money is tight due to the economy. Families aren’t spending as much as they used too and funding continually declines, which in turn, raises the importance of fundraisers and the gradual irritation of parents. “Eventually the oil runs dry,” said Jesse Howard, president of the MCHS band boosters, adding that he always tries to sell items to his neighbors, while, in turn, they approach him with fundraisers also. Howard, who has been the president of the Band Boosters for two years, said his organization tries to set up fundraisers that aren’t too pricey that targets friends, family and neighbors. While candles may seem easy, it only brings in a small amount of money. Even though every little bit helps, Howard said he would rather see fundraisers where more money goes back into the organization. Howard said he also runs into the issue of overlapping fundraisers. For example, the band and the baseball team may both be selling candles at the same time. Currently, there isn’t a set structure to ensure that doesn’t occur. But according to Crump, to guarantee that this situation won’t transpire again, parents and students need to keep their eyes and ears open of other fundraisers. Another crucial aspect for the success of fundraisers is to be as creative as possible. “We’ve got to figure something that’s new and exciting,” Howard said. “People can only have so many gift cards and candles. The old way of doing it just doesn’t seem to work anymore.” Some unique fundraisers the band has in the works includes a bingo night, bowling at Lynn’s Pins or an alumni band night, where former students could pay $10 to perform with the band before Homecoming. According to Howard, this type of event would generate more money as compared to a stereotypical fundraiser. “It would be easier than selling a bunch of candles,” Howard said. Around Thanksgiving time, another fundraiser the band does includes selling Amish recipes, which has earned them up to $1,500 in funds in the past. According to Bob Davis, coach to the MCHS wrestling team, his organization tries to steer clear of stereotypical fundraisers such as candles and tupperware. Davis admits fundraisers aren’t his favorite aspect of coaching, but they are needed because “athletics are expensive.” “Either you do it or you pay for it,” Davis said. According to Davis, the dollar signs increase for everyday expenses such as keeping the kids hydrated, cleaning uniforms, updating equipment and taping the mats down.
Since students can’t be involved in all fundraising opportunities, Howard said a lot of the weight falls back on the booster clubs. “One parent told me they feel like a begger on the streets,” Howard said. “Kids just get burned out.” Meg King, president of David T. Wilson’s Parent Teacher Organization, feels a bit different about fundraisers. “To me, (fundraisers) make (schools) much better,” she said. While DTW doesn’t hold festivals like other schools in the district, they do hold a magazine drive every year. King feels this particular fundraiser works well for them since it fosters reading and helps the school. The funds have even equaled to some extra gadgets in the classroom such as computers, smart pads and magnifiers, King said. “We really do one main fundraiser,” she added. “It seems to do well. I think people realize what it does. It makes the school a better place for the kids.” DTW also holds a spring meet-n-greet where parents have the opportunity to meet other parents. Even though that event doesn’t necessarily make DTW’s wallet full of green, King said it does help parents feel more comfortable about the school. As a mother of four kids, King understands the irritation of having fundraisers come from all directions and this is what she considers as PTO president. However, without fundraising, budgets cuts would greatly effect the year’s activities at DTW, she noted. One aspect that tends to lessen students’ and parents’ aggravations is including incentives with fundraisers. For example, Howard said if they offer a t-shirt it gives something for people to work towards. In the band, Howard said the booster club tries to keep fees low and equipment updated, despite budget setbacks. And their expenses quickly add up. For example, the band pays $1,500 to keep uniforms clean and $2,500 on sheet music alone, and this doesn’t even include their summer concert season. “We want to keep participation high,” Howard said. “But at the same time you need money for that.” MCHS has some of the lowest band fees in the state, Howard noted. But if they raise fees, Howard fears that participation may decline. While the athletic department doesn’t current incorporate fees with activities, Proctor said he wouldn’t rule it out as a future possibility. So in turn, either kids participate in fundraising — even though it’s a task that most people want to avoid — or clubs and activities will have to tighten their spending belts or charge fees in order to overcome budget cuts and high costs. Bottom line, fundraising is a necessary evil and is vital to the success of most teams, clubs and organizations. “It’s not something I look forward to,” Howard said. “But it’s something we have to do. Either keep raising money or raise fees.” With one kid involved in cross country and another involved in the band, Howard jokes that while he is the president of the band boosters, he feels like he has two full time jobs. “By the end of each school year, I have two months off fundraising,” he said.

According to the annual “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future” report for 2010, released by the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Americans are losing the battle of the bulge. Elizabeth Pivonka is a registered dietitian and CEO of produce for the Better Health Foundation, the nonprofit entity behind the national public-health initiative “Fruits & Veggies — More Matters.” Pivonka says that most adults don’t get the recommended servings of fruit and vegetables each day. “Eating more fruits and vegetables in place of options that are higher in fat and calories is an important step in losing weight and keeping it off. “Fruits and vegetables play important roles in the process of weight loss and weight maintenance,” says Pivonka. “Not only because they are low in calories, but also because they provide a wide range of valuable nutrients like vitamins and potassium. They also are high in fiber and water, so eating them will keep you feeling full longer. “Fruits and vegetables are the cheapest form of health insurance you can buy,” according to Pivonka, “since eating them may help reduce the risk of obesity and many diseases. Everyone can benefit from eating more fruits and vegetables, so fill at least half of your plate with them at every meal. There is no need to eat the same thing day after day when there are so many delicious fruits and veggies from which to choose. Adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is easy when you remember that all product

It’s important to get the proper amount of sleep each night. If children aren’t getting enough sleep they often exhibit behavioral problems. help them get enough sleep. To do this, try including a winding-down period in the bedtime routine. Your child may enjoy cuddling while being read a bedtime story or playing a quiet board game with you. Avoid permitting your child to drink caffeinated beverages near bedtime. Caffeine is a stimulant and can disrupt a child’s normal sleep rhythm. An hour or two before bedtime children might enjoy a light snack like some crackers, a handful of cereal, fresh fruit or vegetables, popcorn or a small portion of sherbet, but they should not eat a heavy meal just before going to bed. Don’t give your baby or toddler a bottle to aid sleeping. This can cause “baby bottle tooth decay” because the fluids tend to pool in the child’s mouth. Remind younger children about their approaching bedtime by giving them a headsup a half hour before and a 10-minute warning.
Encourage your older children to set and maintain a bedtime that allows for the full number of hours needed for their age. Some firm limit setting may be necessary here if your children are not able to discipline themselves to go to bed on time. Just remember that every child is different, and there’s not just one way to raise a good sleeper. As active as children are, most have the ability to sleep well. The key is for parents to help them establish healthy sleep habits and have a routine of winding down before heading for bed.

forms count — fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100 percent fruit and vegetable juice.” Here are some ways you can easily increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you consume each day: • Set out raw vegetables with dip to snack on before starting to prepare the evening meal. • Don’t forget about dried fruits and veggies. Keep a bag of your favorites in your handbag or in the car for those times when a craving strikes while you’re on the go. These also work well as fast additions to breakfast cereals or soups and stews. • Use a smaller plate, like an 8- or 9-inch luncheon plate, not a 10-12 inch dinner plate, and make sure to fill at least half of it with fruits and veggies at every meal. • Have fruit instead of processed sweets for dessert. Or try chocolate with your fruit instead of fruit with your chocolate! • Keep a variety of canned fruits and vegetables on hand. They are pre-cooked as part of the canning process and need just a few seconds in the microwave or on the stove to heat up. Healthy and fast! • Add frozen vegetables to box meals to boost their flavor, color and nutrition. They won’t add to the cooking time, will make the meal go further, and you won’t have to fix an extra side dish. • Spend the few extra cents to buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are already washed and cut up, or buy larger bags and clean and cut them up yourself and put them into portion-controlled containers. Keep them on hand for readyto-eat snacks, pack them into lunches and take them on car trips. • When shopping, let kids

A way to eat more, but weigh less By Angela Shelf Medearis The Kitchen Diva
Democrat Jack Conway (D)
US Representative in Congress, 2nd Congressional District
Family & Consumer Science Many of us are surprised by how much sleep our children need. Adults need between seven to nine hours of sleep each night, and many of us often run on far less. Because we need less sleep, we may think our children can get by with the same amount as we do, but that’s not the case. The American Academy of Pediatrics offers the following sleep guidelines for children: • Newborn to 6 months- 16 to 20 hours • 6 to 12 months- 14 to 15 hours • 1 to 3 years- 10 to 13 hours • 3 to 10 years- 10 to 12 hours • 11 to 12 years- about 10 hours •Teenagers- about nine hours Keep in mind that these numbers reflect total sleep hours in a 24-hour period. For example, 12-year-olds who get up at 7 a.m. should be in bed by at least 9 p.m. to get their full 10 hours of sleep. Children who are regularly sleep deprived are often exhibit behavioral problems. They may be irritable, overly emotional, have difficulty concentrating, forget easily, wake up several times during the night and may exhibit hyperactive behaviors. Be firm about a bedtime routine. A routine could include giving your children choices about which pajamas to wear, the stuffed animal he or she wants to take to bed, etc. Try a warm, relaxing bath. Playing soft and soothing music can help. Tucking your children into bed snugly can give them a feeling of security. Follow through with your plan consistently each evening, even if your children protest and test you at first. If you are firm, they will come to respect your guidance. Moving their bedtime up a half hour is another way to

New store wants to be the community family room By Brian Graves The News Standard
You might call it the community rumpus room. Thousands of movies. Hundreds of games. And, all the treats to go with it. It’s all encapsulated under one roof at the new Family Video located in River Ridge Plaza in Brandenburg. Some might wonder why anyone would open a video store in the same spot where one just closed. It’s simple, really. The Family Video chain does this on a regular basis and according to Eddie Benham, who is helping get the Brandenburg location started, it has worked for the company every time. “The other companies have just made bad business decisions,” Benham said. “We are privately owned and debt free. We open all our locations ourselves. All our products are transferred in from other locations.” The chain of stores opened in a unique way. The man who owns the company at one time owned an appliance business and mistakenly was shipped an order of movies. So, a new business was born and has been around for almost 30 years. “The one thing we do here is customer service,” Benham said. “We go over and beyond the call.” Amazingly, he added the store never closes. “We only close long enough for Santa to make his deliveries,” he noted. “Then, we open back up at noon on Christmas Day. Again, it’s all about our customers.” Benham was raised in Brandenburg and says he came to this store because of his connection to the city. “I run the store in New Albany, but when they decided upon this location, they said, ‘Hey, you’re from there, aren’t you?’ and here I am.” Family Video’s desire to be the best aT customer service is immediately evident when entering the front door. “Anybody comes in the door here, we’re going to greet them. We’re going to say ‘Hi’ and make them feel warm and welcome in our home just like we would hope any other business would if we went there,” Benham said. “We like to keep it very personal here,” he added. “It’s a family environment.” Benham said eventually customers become like part of the family and individuals and families become known by name.
Anytime a first-timer comes to the store, they get the grand tour. “When a customer first walks in, they see the free kids’ section. They are absolutely free for five nights and they won’t cost a dime,” Benham said. There is also a free sports and fitness section for adults to take advantage of. “Right there, you can essentially come in and get six items for nothing,” he noted. “Nobody else does that.” The store also has sections of classic movies from before 1950, stand-up comedy, and virtually any category imaginable. There is a family fun section the company prescreens to make sure they have family-friendly content. “If you get something out of this section, you don’t have to worry about small children seeing them,” Benham said. “All these selections you see here on the floor — all one buck for five nights,” Benham said. The store also features a wide array of games and there are specially marked games that can entitle customers to get another game for free. “We also make available if you only rent one game, you can get a $1 movie absolutely free,” Benham said. “Even if you get the game for one night, you keep the movie five.” There is a “favorites” video section that carries a guarantee. “These are selections we guarantee you will like,” he said. “If you rent something from this section, take it home and don’t like it, we’ll give you something else from this section absolutely free.” “We have great deals here,” he added. “It keeps people coming back and keeps our customers happy.” Benham said the store plans on becoming very involved in the community. “There aren’t many video stores that do what we want to do,” he noted. “We want to have a gaming contest, a mini-carnival, and, depending on city ordinances, we’d like to be able to show a movie outside every now and then.” The store also offers CD and DVD cleaning for $1.99 a piece. “We have a machine we use to guarantee our movies stay in top quality,” Bonham said. “This is just another service we offer to our customers. If they have discs that need repair, they can bring them in and all we make off of this is just the supplies for

The town must have caught on because since opening last week, Benham said there have been more than 600 have signed up for the memberships — which are free and come with lots of discounts. “I actually had someone walk out of here the other night and there was no cost attached to what he left with,” Benham said. And, if anyone doesn’t think Family Video can be a fun place, the new ice cream machine was delivered Tuesday morning. The store is open every day from 10 a.m. until midnight.

Ham sold at State Fair brings home the bacon Submitted by Kentucky Farm Bureau
Louisville — The halls of the Kentucky Exposition Center’s South Wing B rang loud as the 47th Kentucky Country Ham Auction came to a close this morning, bringing in a record-breaking $1.6 million for the state fair’s grand champion ham. The live auction highlighted Kentucky Farm Bureau’s annual breakfast before a crowd of 1,600. Two bidders, Bernard Trager, Chairman of Republic Bank and Trust, and Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates, owner of Dr. Bizer’s Vision World, pooled their resources together and contributed $800,000 each for the 16.05-pound ham produced by Broadbent B&B Foods of Kuttawa, Kentucky. That is the equivalent of $100,000 per pound of ham. Trager masterminded the notion of combining bids to make the impressive winning offer, sending a message across the room to Dr. Lynn to see if there was mutual interest in the idea. Dr. Lynn — not only a first-time bidder, but also a first-time attendee — agreed. “They came over and said, ‘Let’s both do it for $800,000,’” said Dr. Lynn. “I thought why not? It’s for charity and everybody wins that way.” While the auction’s enormous bids draw great attention from even the casual passerby, a greater cause
is served when the money raised is donated to the charity of the winning bidder’s choice. Dr. Mark Lynn & Associates indicated that they intend to donate the winning amount to the University of Louisville, Visually Impaired Preschool Services and Eastern Area Community Ministries. “My son, Steve, likes to say, ‘What we make here, stays here,’” said Trager. “As a local institution with local interests, we’ll be supporting the community’s education and healthcare interests with our donation.” While no goal is set for the ham’s top bid each year, Kentucky Farm Bureau has now helped raise more than $5.6 million for local charities, educational and philanthropic groups through the 47-year history of the auction. “It’s always a good day when you have a hand in raising $1.6 million for charity over breakfast,” said Susie Tanner, Kentucky Farm Bureau’s commodity director and ham breakfast event coordinator. “We’re proud of the history of this event and today’s winning bid adds to that legacy.” The auction’s humble beginnings — a respectable $124 winning bid at the first event in 1964 — have grown exponentially in recent years. The average price of the auctioned ham over the last 10 years is now $462,048.

Lady Waves offense explodes this past week By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard The Meade County Lady Waves soccer team’s offense has jolted into action the past two games with 22 goals. On Monday, Meade County beat North Bullitt 11-1 in a mercy-shortened game with more than 15 minutes left in the game. The win marks a second straight 10-goal victory and third straight win for the Lady Waves. The girls soccer program has had only four 10-goal wins the previous nine seasons combined. “We have just clicked and I wish we would have clicked the first two games,” Meade County head coach Dan Shook said, whose team opened the season with two straight losses. “We struggled against North Bullitt last year. So it’s good to do this against a team we had troubles with last year.”
Last season the Lady Waves found themselves tied 1-1 at the half with North Bullitt, but eeked out a win in the second half, 2-1. This season the Lady Waves have rallied together after having a tough first two games. “Last year we lost 13 seniors … and that was tough on us,” said junior midfielder Shelby Miller. “We came out and had some tough games (this year). We realize that we can be more than what we thought. Our team is great this year. All the girls are awesome.” Miller was part of six of the 11 Meade County goals. She had four assists and two goals from her right outside position. All of her assists came from crosses to senior forwards Kristin Benton and Lindsey Burchett. “I need to get those crosses to the far corner so the forwards can get a See OFFENSE, page B4

Volleyball stays undefeated in district By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard
The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team remained undefeated in district play on Tuesday night when they traveled to Hancock County and won in straight games, 25-21, 25-18. The team played well, but still had lingering miscommunications throughout the game such as letting balls drop between players, serving errors and poor passing. “It was just sloppy. I thought they would be ready after Saturday,” Meade County head coach Jennifer Smith said whose team is now 12-5. “We tried different things to get ready on Saturday. I finally got something that worked. But it didn’t work tonight.”
The Lady Waves played in the Western Hills Invitational tournament last weekend where Smith tried a new rotation and got some new players in the game. One of the players that saw some playing time was junior hitter Kalailia Chun. “Chun is so strong,” Smith said. “If she can get a hold of the ball she can hit it as good as Tiffany Filburn. She’s not consistent yet. So we’re going get her back.” Chun had two kills and an ace against Hancock County. Meade County took the lead in the first game, 126, but Hancock County cut the lead to one, 19-18. The Lady Waves scored three straight points when See HOME, page B4

If the late Rodney Dangerfield were an athlete he’d probably be a triathlete. Not because of his “impossible” Triple Lindy dive in the movie ‘Back to School,’ rather he just gets “no respect.” After watching last weekend’s Ironman triathlon in Louisville, which was preceded by my own participation in Aug. 21’s MAC Minitriathlon, I have realized that triathletes are the most underrated, underappreciated athletes in the world. The athletic feat of swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles in one day is incomprehensible to most athletes who play mainstream sports. Or maybe even the sprint triathlon where it’s a 750-meter swim, 20 km bike and 10k run — yes that’s considered to be a sprint. While a heavy night for a baseball pitcher is around 100 pitches or 45-plus minutes for a NBA player, triathletes’ light days consists of an easy five mile run on a Sunday morning.

SPORTS QUIZ By Chris Richcreek
From page B1 left the Steelers 22-1 Super Bowl long shots and now Meade County won its season opener with a newlook spread offense. The usual Meade County grind-it-out run game, turned into a quarterback/ running back scrambling offense that helped defeat the Anderson County Bearcats, 28-21, during last Friday’s season opener. The offense racked up 414 yards of total offense including three touchdowns by junior running back Max Cundiff. “I love the new offense,” Cundiff said, who finished with 97 yards on 18 carries. “We have three running options with (junior quarterback) Thomas (Wilson), me and (senior running back) Rex (Liverman). So almost every play we have the potential of breaking one off. It’s good for so many reasons.” The game couldn’t have started better for the Greenwave. The defense intercepted a pass during the first drive of the game and took the ball to the 34-yard line. The next play, Cundiff bounced a run to the outside and scampered untouched for a touchdown 45 seconds into the game. “Yeah, that was a good start,” Meade County head coach Larry Mofield said. “But I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. They’re (Anderson County) too well coached to fold the tent up. You can’t get up on a team 7-0 and rest. You have to keep fighting.” “We got so much momentum from that,” Cundiff said of the game’s first touchdown. “My blockers — Jeremy Greenwell, Will (Wilson), (Zack) Adams, (Aaron) Settles — all those guys set me up. When they make the hole, I have the easy part.” Anderson County answered back during the ensuing drive and scored when quarterback Seth Carmichael completed the 53 yard pass to wide receiver Neal Wells. Six minutes later the Bearcats took their only lead of the game on a 19yard touchdown run by Ethan Kelly making the score 14-7. But that was all the offense that Anderson County could muster. The previous week, Anderson County tallied 522 yards in their win over Garrard County — they had 346 rushing yards. The Greenwave defense held the Bearcats to only 97 rushing yards thanks to their defensive front. “They had to resort to passing more than they wanted to,” Mofield said. “I think the defensive front played well. Their running back was good and we stopped him for the most part. “ Thomas Wilson was a wide-eyed rookie having his first start as a varsity quarterback, while playing the wily veteran in the defensive backfield where he’s played varsity for three years. Wilson struggled to create a passing game — completing only four passes — but he used his legs to make plays and rushed for 186 yards. On defense, he had two key interceptions

TOP: The Greenwave defense held the potent Anderson County run game to 97 yards ABOVE: Max Cundiff started the season with three touchdowns in the home opener. both of which set up touchdown drives. “Defensive back is different than quarterback for me,” Wilson said. “This is my third year (at safety). So I feel like a rookie on offense but like a veteran on defense. “Coach Mattingly is one of the best defensive coaches around. He has us in the right position every time and when they make a mistake we capitalize on it,” Wilson added about his two interceptions. Wilson’s biggest play of the night came when he intercepted the ball on the Bearcats 30-yard line and returned it to the 14-yard line with 14:22 left in the game. Two minutes later, Cundiff dove into the end zone for his third touchdown to essentially put the game away, 28-14. During the third quarter, Wilson had a 49-yard touchdown run to give Meade County the lead 21-0. “Coach told me that I was going to get a lot of carries,” Wilson said. “I just want to do whatever I can to help win games. If it’s me carrying the ball then I’ll do it.” Wilson ended the night with only 61-passing yards — 40 of them came from a pass to Bo Wilson in the first quarter. Meade County could have put the game away earlier, but the team’s red zone offense sputtered twice. “We tell the kids every week you have to overcome some adversity,” Mofield said. The team overcame two delay of game penalties while inside the 5-yard line. The team also sputtered
twice while in the red zone, fumbled twice and missed two field goal attempts. Senior place kicker Michael Clinkscales first field goal attempt was called wide right with 2:19 left in the first half, but Mofield questioned the call. “(The kick) was good and I’ll stand to that until the day I die,” he said. “I stood there and watched it. I know people make mistakes but you hate to have that cost a team a football game … we’re fortunate that didn’t affect the outcome of the game.” The second attempt came in the fourth quarter and went wide left after Meade County found themselves on the 2-yard line. The Greenwave had a delay of game penalty, which backed them to the 7-yard line and failed to convert the drive into points. “We moved the ball pretty well, but we just had too many mistakes in the red zone,” Thomas Wilson said. “We got down here twice and came away with nothing. They say (Clinkscales) missed those field goals and I don’t know if he did or not, but we can’t put him in that position. We need to score.” Anderson County’s waning efforts did come up fruitful toward the end of the game. With 25 seconds left, they capitalized on a defensive backfield mishap to score the final touchdown of the game. During the ensuing kickoff, the Greenwave recovered the onside kick and effectively ran out the remainder of the game clock. “It was disappointing to let in that last touchdown,” Mofield said. “It was something we’re schooled on not
to do and we did. I have to give our special teams credit they did a great job to seal the game. Coach (Jason) Scott does a great job on preparing our special teams.” The Greenwave will host John Hardin tonight at 7:30 p.m. This is the first time Meade County will play John Hardin after a win since the 2006 playoffs. “We just have to work like we did last week,” Cundiff said about preparing for tonight’s game. “We’re going to have to work harder because we know John Hardin is going to be a tough team.”
Roger Clemens. During the show’s pilot a junior high principal says he’s training for a triathlon. Powers’ snarky remark, “I play real sports … not trying to be the best at exercising,” would make Rodney loosen his tie and sweat profusely. No Respect, I tell’ya. The satirical joke is funny on many levels but as a fan of triathlons and even a beginner triathlete, I find the joke hilarious. In fact to most people, the joke may be lost in the whirlwind of Powers’ other chauvinistic, xenophobic one-liners. But I am years removed from my physical peak, my football days are longgone along with my knees. Now I’ve picked up a bike
and started riding, swimming does wonders on my knees and the running part … well I get by. But the Ironman athletes have trained months and maybe even more than year to prepare for one day of enduring pain. Sadistic? Yes. Insane? Yes. Gratifying? Definitely. Unathletic? No. Despite the lack of respect in the professional world, triathlons are growing around the nation and have even hit the small town of Brandenburg. The Aug. 21 MAC event was a huge success with more than a 100 participants. People of all ages enjoyed the event. The same can’t be said for a football camp — those are left for the youngsters. There’s
not too many 60-year olds competing in football … well, besides Brett Favre. So with the growth of triathlons maybe a little respect is due. If not then so be it. The people will continue to do it and enjoy the self inflicted pain. We’ll just gripe about it like Rodney, I tell’ya. So the next time you see a runner alongside the road or a cyclist barreling up a steep Kentucky hill or a swimmer taking up lane space, second guess making fun of their mushroom-like bike helmets, goofy goggles or unsightly tight Lyrca shorts. Don’t forget, their sport is most sport’s punishment. That alone deserves some respect.

Home From page B1 sophomore defensive specialist Bethany Roberts had an ace and senior Tiffany Filburn had a kill. Meade County outscored the Lady Hornets, 6-3, during the last nine points. In the second game, Meade County fought back from a 7-4 deficit and went on to win convincingly 2517. Though the game was sketchy at times, Meade County controlled the match. “You know how we are. We’re up and down, up and down,” Smith said about playing down to their opponents. “I told the girls that it’s not worth doing that. If they played like they can play every game they can come in get it done and go home.”
Senior middle hitter Tiffany Filburn led the team with 14 kills and one block. Junior setter Becca Clark had 24 assists, two kills and an ace, while junior hitter Rachel Powers had eight kills and three aces. Meade goes 4-2 at tourney Meade County went 4-2 during last weekend’s Western Hills Invitational held at the Frankfort Civic Center. On Friday the Lady Waves beat Madison Central in three sets Friday night, 1821, 21-11, 15-11, and Grant County in two, 21-10, 21-5. During the second day of the tournament on Saturday they went 2-2. They beat Shelby County 2-0 (21-15, 22-20) and Owen County 2-0 (25-15, 25-6) They lost to Oldham county 2-0 (25-20, 25-20) and Southwestern 2-0 (21-17, 21-17). “We played pretty well,” Smith said. “Rachel Powers, Chun and Tiffany Filburn

all played well for us.” Meade County also went without junior middle hitter LeAnna Luney. After turning her ankle during Aug. 19’s match against Grayson County, Luney tried to play in the tournament. Luney was unable to finish one rotation on Saturday and sat out the rest of the tournament. “I let her off a week and she was feeling better,” Smith said. “But just that little bit of jumping took her out.” Luney officially has a strained ligament in her ankle and should be back in a week and a half. Replacing Luney has been sophomore Leah Cannady who moved from outside hitter to middle hitter, Kalanilia Chun and defensive specialist Bethany Roberts. The Lady Waves play at Elizabethtown on Tuesday started at 7 p.m.

head or a foot on the ball,” Miller said. “Lindsey and Kristin are an amazing forward team. They know when and where I’m going to put the ball.” Both Benton and Burchett had three goals in the game. Burchett scored three straight goals during a 12-minute span in the first half. Miller’s two goals came back-to-back during the first 6 minutes of the second half. “She’s always been a good crosser,” Shook said. “Now she has a good shot too and can score those goals. She has a lot of confidence this year and she’s done a great job.” Sophomore Allie Backstrom had two goals and an assist, while junior midfielder Megan Presley had a goal. North Bullitt’s lone goal came during the final minute of the first half. Shook has been concerned about giving up goals late in the halves. “It’s a little disappointing to let in a goal,” he said. “It seems like we can never get that shutout. I would really like for us to get a shut out for Kiana.” Senior keeper Kiana Rupe had seven saves in the match. The Lady Waves played their first district matchup against North Hardin on Wednesday. “It’s a first district game and we want to come out with a win,” Miller said. “North Hardin is a tough team. We know it’s not going to be easy. This really sets where we are as a team.” Results of the match were not available
Burton is running hard MEADE COUNTY By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week
BROOKLYN, Mich.—- A typical first impression of Jeff Burton is that he’s got more sense than most racecar drivers. It isn’t to say that racers aren’t intelligent, witty and likable. They are. Burton, however, is thoughtful, reasonable and tactful. Those are the qualities that set him apart. At 43, Burton is the younger of South Boston, Va., racing brothers. Ward Burton won five Sprint Cup races in a career that ran from 1994 through 2007, highlighted by the 2002 Daytona 500. Jeff Burton has won 21 times at NASCAR’s highest level. Perhaps a rivalry among brothers is an excellent breeding ground for tact. Jeff Burton is one of six drivers in the current top 12 — i.e., Chase for the Sprint Cup position with three regular-season races left — without a victory thus far in 2010. Nonetheless, he ranks seventh in the point standings with four top-five finishes and 12 top 10s. A year ago, none of Richard Childress Racing’s three drivers made the Chase. This year all three are in position to do so, and Kevin Harvick is the point leader. “We’ve had to fight to climb back up the hill,” said Burton. “What we have to work on is not getting back down. This is a competitive sport. You’re not always going to be as good as you can be ... You’ve just got to go to
work and not accept failure.” As far as the Chase is concerned, he added, “Number one, you still have to make it. There’s still a lot of racing left to go. Number two, I just believe that this Chase will be like most Chases: You’ve got to run in the front. You have to avoid the bad races.” With the Chase just three races away, Burton said, “Some people are trying to protect positions. Some people are trying to go get bonus points. Some people are trying to earn their way in. The guys that are in 14th, 15th, they don’t believe they are out of it. They still have a shot.” Anyone who makes the Chase, of course, has “a shot” at the Sprint Cup championship. A championship would crown Burton’s entire career. He has finished third, fourth, fifth (twice), sixth, seventh and eighth in the Cup standings at various points in his career. “I hope that we can come down to Homestead,” said Burton, referring to the season finale. “I hope we can be in the midst of it, and it comes down to late in the race. That’s what we do.” Monte Dutton has covered motorsports for The Gaston (N.C.) Gazette since 1993. He was named writer of the year by the National Motorsports Press Association in 2008.

Paws Corner By Fifi Rodriguez The Cat Who Came In From the Fire Escape
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I wanted to tell you a story about the cat who adopted us. In 1930 my brother and I lived with our parents on the fourth floor of a tenement building in the Lower East Side of New York City. We had a fire escape outside the bedroom window of our four-room apartment. In the summer, Mama opened the windows wide to let the fresh air in. It was on one of these hot summer days that a pussycat brazenly came in through the open window. It looked starved, and my brother and I begged our parents to let it stay. They agreed. We fed “Cat” bread and milk, and later, scraps from our table. Every evening when my father came home from work, Cat would take a flying leap and land on his shoulder. My father loved the greeting. After awhile though, Cat started leaving through the window again and coming back a few hours later. She also seemed to get fatter and fatter, until we realized she was pregnant. Cat delivered four babies on towels my mother laid out on the bathroom floor. My mother gave three of the kittens to neighbors and we kept the fourth, an all-white male we named “Whitey.” Whitey stayed with us through the winter, but by the next spring he got as restless as his mother and started leaving through the fire escape window. One day he went out and never came back again. — Pearl M., Morse Township, N.J. DEAR PEARL: Things were so different for pets and their owners back then. Pet food was an unheard-of extravagance, and veterinary care was not so common for housepets. Thank you for sharing!

Q: My husband and I got hooked on “Criminal Minds” and have been watching the reruns all summer. Will the show be coming back in the fall? — Nancy G., Punta Gorda, Fla. A: I love to be the bearer of good news, as so many of my readers’ favorite shows seem to be getting canceled these days. “Criminal Minds” has been renewed by CBS for its sixth season, and it is set to premiere Wednesday, Sept. 22. Also, if you just can’t get David Charvet enough crime solving, midseason you can catch its spinoff, “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior,” which is slated to star Forest Whitaker, Richard Schiff and Janeane Garofalo. Q: When will my favorite show, “Grey’s Anatomy,” be back? And can you give me any teasers as to what’s going to happen? — Ingrid F., via e-mail A: “Grey’s Anatomy” will be back for its seventh season Thursday, Sept. 23, on ABC. When I recently spoke with Kim Raver, who plays Teddy Altman on the medical drama, she told me that her character gets a new love interest. “I’m pretty sure that the triangle with Teddy, Owen and Kristina is done,” Kim explains. “And while I’m sad for Teddy, because it’s really hard for her, I’m just happy as a fan because the Owen and Kristina story has so much more to explore. I’m glad not to continue it, because otherwise it would have become redundant. It was a great way to establish Teddy. And so in the first couple of episodes you might actually see Teddy kind of having something romantic with a new person. She’s gonna try!” Q: I watched “The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff” this past month on TV, and I was glad to see a lot of his old “Baywatch” co-stars there. I did notice a few absences, like David Charvet. Why didn’t he attend? — Mischa W. in Oregon A: David and I talked about that when he was promoting his new movie, “The Perfect Teacher,” for the Lifetime Movie Network (check your local listings for days and times). He told me he was invited but chose not to attend. “I love David (Hasselhoff) and really respect him. I know these roasts can get pretty mean, and I just didn’t want to do that to him.” What a class act David is, huh? Q: I have always enjoyed watching Michael J. Fox, and I wondered if he’ll be in something else soon? — Debbie K., via e-mail A: While the actor certainly has limited the number of roles he accepts due to his Parkinson’s disease, Michael still acts here and there. Most recently he was seen as Dwight on “Rescue Me,” and he can be seen this fall in a guest appearance on CBS’ “The Good Wife.” According to CBS, he’ll play a “shrewd and cynical” lawyer who tackles Julianna Margulies’ character in a class-action lawsuit.

• It’s commonly believed that Eskimos have 50 or more words for different types of snow but no word for just plain snow. In point of fact, that statement is misleading, as the Eskimo language is composed largely of roots and suffixes that can be combined in virtually unlimited ways. • Everyone knows that China is the most populous country on Earth today, with nearly 20 percent of the world’s population. But you might not realize that there are now more people living in China than lived on the entire planet 150 years ago. • A recent item in this column stated that Henry Heimlich believed peanut butter to be the food upon which people most commonly choke. As it turns out, that quotation did not come from Dr. Heimlich. Don’t be mistaken, though -- according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, peanut butter is a high-risk food. • The IRS reportedly spends $2.45 for every $100 in taxes it collects. • Thought for the Day: “I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I’ll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful, Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at one time can cause you to create more snarls each time you try to work your way through the tangled mass. Best to handle one job at a time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Making bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. A new relationship shows promise. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharing credit for a job well done is easy for you to do, but not necessarily for your partner. But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indications should be dealt with before they become too burdensome. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A more positive aspect highlights much of the Virgo’s week. You should find others more receptive to your suggestions, and also more likely to act on them. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) All work and little play could wear the Libra’s usually positive attitude down. Take some muchneeded time off. Perhaps a short jaunt with someone special is the way to go. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but ultimately also could be extremely satisfying. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Giving advice to those who just want validation for what they’re doing can be unsettling. So back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially that certain someone. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Keeping the lines of communication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation on which to build an important and meaningful relationship. Stay with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perceptive Piscean talents to see what might lie hidden beneath its surface and could possibly cause problems later on.

Kentucky’s best skeet shooters compete at championship Submitted by Kentucky Skeet Shooting Association LOUISVILLE — Fiftyeight of Kentucky’s best skeet shooters gathered Aug. 20-22 at Jefferson Gun Club in Brooks, Ky., to compete in the annual Kentucky Skeet Shooting Association (KSSA) State Championship. The competitors shot it out for three days in five individual events and two cumulative events, with the top awards going to Barkley Lister of Danville, Ky., and Troy Stevenson of Calvert City, Ky. Barkley, a member of Pulaski Outdoorsmen, Inc., was the High Overall (HOA) winner with a combined score of 397 out of a possible 400 targets. The HOA score is a combination of 100 targets shot in each of the 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge and .410 bore events. Stevenson, of Happy Hollow Skeet Club, took home the High AllAround (HAA) title with a score of 490 out of a possible 500 targets. The doubles event kicked off the shooting on Friday. Stevenson and Calvert City, Ky., shooter Bart
Redman each broke 98 out of a possible 100 targets in the event, but Redman emerged the winner in a sudden-death shoot-off for the doubles gun champ trophy. The 12 gauge and 20 gauge events were held Saturday. In the 12 gauge event, Barkley and his father, Wayne Lister of Stanford, Ky., tied with Stevenson and Scottie Cantway of Leitchfield, Ky., with perfect scores of 100. The shoot-off came down to an allLister match-up, with Barkley outlasting his father for the 12 gauge gun champ award. Stevenson and Redman returned to the shoot-off round in the 20 gauge event, along with Calvert City, Ky., shooter Ken Ford. The three shooters qualified with scores of 99 out of a possible 100. It was Redman who emerged the winner, securing his second gun champ title of the shoot. On Sunday, four shooters opened the day with perfect scores of 100 in the 28 gauge event to advance to a shoot-off. Jeffery Richardson of Hawesville, Ky., who logged his first registered perfect score of 100, took home the 28 gauge gun
champ trophy after beating out Rick Corneliusen of Louisville and Barkley. But Barkley managed to nab one last gun champ title with an outright win in the .410 bore event, where he broke a high score of 99 out of a possible 100. Redman, Ford and their fellow Calvert City Gun Club members Mark Marshall of Calvert City, Ky., Billy Smith of Paducah, Ky., and Lonnie Ford of Calvert City, Ky., took home the KSSA Five-Man Team Championship traveling trophy for posting a combined score in the 12 gauge event of 483 out of a possible 500 targets. The team’s score was five more than Stevenson and his fellow Happy Hollow Skeet Club members Diane Newton of Benton, Ky., Keith Brummitte of Benton, Ky., Curtis Niedermier of Benton, Ky., and Milton Stevenson of Calvert City, Ky.

vides a wonderful place to showcase performers and artists.” DeaFestival 2010 will be a family-friendly event with three primary components: SpotLights, which features prominent theatrical performers and comedians; a children’s program featuring American Sign Language (ASL) in Wonderland and the evolution of communication from cave drawings to wireless technology; and the Jam Tent, which features hip-hop and rock-and-roll dancers and musicians. In addition, a Visual Artist Venue that includes paintings, sculpture, pottery, stained glass, literary works and more will be featured. Exhibitors and craft/ hobbyists will have items for sale. All performances are presented in ASL with
interpretation into spoken English provided by highly qualified interpreters for those who are not fluent in ASL. “Hearing loss is growing at an alarming rate and DeaFestival encourages those individuals to have a positive outlook on their future and not feel the loss so much,” said Virginia L. Moore, KCDHH executive director. “Horse Cave gives us the small-town feel for a big-town event. We pull together the whole community to educate and establish role models for deaf and hard of hearing children and their families, while encouraging an attitude of can do, rather than can’t do for everyone involved,” said Moore. In addition, on both Friday, Sept. 3, and Saturday, Sept. 4 at 8 p.m. the movie “See What I’m Saying,” Deaf Entertainers Documentary (rated PG-13), will premier at the Kentucky Repertory Theater in Horse Cave. Tickets are $10 each and
can be purchased in advance by contacting the theater at 270-786-2177 or 800-342-2177 or tickets@ kentuckyrep.org. Central Kentucky area attractions such as Mammoth Cave, Kentucky Down Under, Hidden River Cave and Lost River Cave are also offering special discounted tours during the weekend with interpreters provided. “Good educators know that learning is not limited to the confines of a classroom. Immersion into a new culture and a diverse language is a valuable educational tool. DeaFestival provides a wonderful way to develop sensitivity within the general public and an appreciation for the talents of the deaf and hard of hearing community,” said Joseph U. Meyer, secretary of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet. The schedule of events, accommodations and directions are available online at www.kcdhh. ky.gov.

Stuart Pepper students sing, dance the night away
THE NEWS STANDARD/JENNIFER CORBETT
Stuart Pepper Middle School celebrated the new school year by hosting a Back to School Dance last Thursday. Approximately 485 kids gathered in the school’s cafeteria to rock out to some current jams from the likes of Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy. The students showcased their inner dancers as they performed the “Cha-Cha Slide,” “Electric Slide,” and “Cotton Eyed Joe.” Many teachers and administrators were in attendance, as well, with some of them even joining the students out on the dance floor.

FRANKFORT — Seven students from Meade County High School have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT. As Sen. Jeff Green Scholars, these students are
eligible for $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. Students may earn up to $10,000 toward their higher education expenses if they continue high scholastic achievement in college. The title honors the late state Sen. Jeff Green of Mayfield, who served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1992 to 1997. Local students who earned this prestigious designation
are Kayla Higbee, Emily Kendall, Kathryn Renyer, Cynthia Smith, Mallory Wathen, Caroline Wilson and Cameron Yundt. KEES awards are funded by net Kentucky lottery proceeds and may be used at most colleges and universities in Kentucky.
