Unusual alcohol laws could possibly hurt growth By Casey Tolliver The News Standard

“The biggest detriment economically in some districts is that it’s stopped some businesses from opening.....”

With its prime location and beautiful scenery, Meade County stands out from the crowd when compared to other counties in the state. But another fact sets it apart. Many counties in Kentucky are either wet or dry. Meade County is both. “Meade County’s an un-

Otter Creek Park, located in northeast of Meade County, closed Jan. 2009 and is scheduled to reopen next year.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is seeking public opinion on suggestions for the future of Otter Creek Park Recreation Area in Meade County. The agency has added an online survey to its Web site to gain public input for future uses of Otter Creek, it announced in a press release last week. “Otter Creek will provide a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities within easy driving distance to more than a fourth of the state’s population,” Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Dr. Jon Gas-

sett said in a press release. “We pursued this area to make public land available for hunting, ﬁshing, and other wildlife-related recreation at little cost to sportsmen and women.” Kentucky Fish and Wildlife acquired the property formerly known as Otter Creek Park earlier this summer. The recreation area, which was formerly operated by Louisville Metro Parks, closed in January 2009 for budgetary reasons. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s acquisition of the local wildlife mainstay breathed new life into Otter Creek. “Because of the unique facilities See PARK, Page A10

Family Owned For Over 30 Years

History buffs from around the state and region attended the 2nd Annual Judge Joseph Holt House Community Day and Walking Tour last Saturday. The seemingly lifeless house was buzzing with activity as history buffs from around the state came to enjoy the walking tour of the property, presentations from re-enactors, as well as period music. But without the efforts of the Holt House steering committee, local officials and even a local author, there may not have been a need for the event. “When this came to their attention, it was such an important piece of history associated with Lincoln’s legacy and in essence, it had been forgotten,” Public information Officer for the Kentucky Heritage Council Diane Comer said. The steering committee took the reins of the Holt House preservation and restoration project, bringing the local landmark back from the brink of neglect. “It’s just always been here,” Friends of the Holt House Member Lee Stinnett said, who was also born and raised nearly a mile from the Holt House. “It’s always been a feature in my life. It’s been great to share it with everyone else. It’s a missing piece to the whole Lincoln story.” After being contacted by the steering committee, the

Kentucky Heritage Council secured a Lincoln Bicentennial grant for the house, which was named a legacy project by the Lincoln Board

commission. After the grant was secured, a problem arose — there was no one to receive the grant to purchase the house. That’s when the Breckenridge County Fiscal Court stepped in and agreed to purchase the home and 19.5 acres with the $158,000 grant. The Heritage Council plans on bringing in a resource team to help decide what would be

Voter registration deadline for November election nears By Brian Graves The News Standard

Anyone wanting to cast a vote in the November election doesn’t have long to get registered. The final day for registering to vote in the Nov. 2 general election is Monday, Oct. 4. Four years ago, 8,954 cast ballots in an election that proved every vote really does count. At the time, the number of total votes cast in the 2006 campaign was more than half of the registered Meade County voters. The numbers have gone up slightly since then. According to Meade County Court Clerk Katrina

For packaged whiskey, Fitzgerald’s office collects $150.50 a year per business. Funds generated by the alcohol tax within the county are sent to Frankfort. State officials use a formula to calculate the county’s alcohol income, and the amount is sent back to the county. The budgeted amount the county will receive from taxable alcohol for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 is $4,000. This number is up from $3,000 in the last fiscal year.

Fitzgerald, the total number of registered voters stands at 17,898. “A lot of people have already registered,” Fitzgerald said. “I haven’t seen any noticeable numbers coming in now as opposed to before.” The ballot will be a long one as voters will decide races for U.S. Senate, U.S. Congress, state representatives, state senators, judge/ executive, county attorney, magistrates, mayors, council members, constables and sheriff — a race which will be a rematch from the historic close election in 2006. Current sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick defeated the then-incumbent Cliff

Wise by one vote — 4,277 to 4,276. With most local races seeing competition and interest in the senate race heightened, campaigns will need to run strong “get out the vote” efforts to avoid another close count as local candidates see if voter enthusiasm makes its way down the ballot to the local races. The Rand Paul-Jack Conway senate race continues to draw national attention as the latest average of polls show a five-point lead for Paul. Those interested in registering may call the county court clerk’s office at 270-422-2152 for more information.

Control (ABC) administrator for the county, said the economic impact of alcohol sales is not the inability to buy alcohol in certain precincts, but the apprehension of some businesses to set up shop in the dry precincts. “The biggest detriment economically in some districts is that it’s stopped some businesses from opening in Meade County,” Craycroft said. “Walgreens had a lot picked out and they could not sell beer. Without a beer license, they would not come. Beer accounted for a lot of their profits.” The county is missing out on a tax base when these business decide not to locate in Meade County. Restaurants could also be snubbing Meade County if they can’t serve alcoholic drinks with meals, Craycroft added. “One of the impacts is first of all, it’s taxable, so you are losing tax money in regards to that,” he

said. “We have other drug stores and businesses where you can go, but you still lose that tax base and you lose that commercial tax base.” And with current factors inducing and promoting growth in Meade County, current laws may prohibit progress, according to Craycroft. “One of the things that’s kept Meade County from growing is you can’t get here,” he said. “Now we’re going to have a major road connected to two interstates.” “Right now, it’s probably not a great big affect but in a spot or two,” Craycroft added. “But when 313 comes through, you might find it might stifle some of the economic progress. Once 313’s complete and the county starts to grow and you can get to the county, then there will be certain businesses that won’t locate here because they can’t get an alcohol license.”

$10,000 bail with the condition she not hold any position “requiring management of money.” Library Director Rachael Baelz would not comment directly on the case, but did issue a statement on behalf of the Meade County Library Board: “Earlier this year, irregularities were discovered that led to the dismissal of Lisa Hardin due to theft. Information found was presented to the Library Board of Trustees.

The Library Board’s number one priority is to protect the assets of the library and they took swift action to do so by voting unanimously to contact the Kentucky State Police. The board has requested that restitution be made to the library. Any other consequences are in the hands of the judicial system. The library’s focus remains on providing excellent programs and services to the citizens of Meade County.”

the best next step for the Holt House. The mansion, which belonged to prominent Breckenridge County resident Judge Joseph Holt, was built on 10,000 acres deeded to Holt’s maternal grandfather for his service in the Revolutionary War. The initial acreage would have extended into Meade County. Holt, who was appointed Judge Advocate General by Abraham Lincoln, inextricably links the region to the Lincoln legacy. As judge advocate general, Holt presided over the trial of Lincoln’s assassination conspirators. The house remained in the Holt family until 1911 and has sat vacant for nearly 40 years. As a result of its ties to a significant piece of American history, the Judge Joseph Holt House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. After much effort on the part of the Holt House steering committee, the future of the house is a bit clearer. “This is just a wonderful resource and a wonderful treasure to Breckenridge County,” Comer said. “We always say it’s up to the local community about what they want to preserve, what they want to have speaking for their community and what’s unique about the area. It’s really going to have to continue to be a grass roots project for the community. It’s going to be up to them to what they keep up.”

Meade County Jailer

Drug and alcohol abuse lands more people in jail than anything else. We have multiple repeat offenders which can be minimized thru a recovery program called SAP (Substance Abuse Program). Successful completion enables the individual to become a productive citizen which is always an asset to our community. The SAP program is that start! SAP is an accredited program used and approved by the Kentucky Department of Corrections, with positive results. This program is being used in several counties throughout Kentucky. There are minimally 2,000 inmates on the SAP waiting list. Research shows that with Kentucky’s extra per diem for inmate SAP participation and for every 40 SAP inmates, an approximate annual profit of $40,000 can be attained. Our current Jailer DOES NOT utilize this program in the MC Detention Center. Goal #1: As Jailer, I will incorporate SAP into the operation of the MC Detention Center. This will assist me in accomplishing Goal #2: Provide inmates with pathways to rehabilitation. Accomplishment of these goals will enable me, as your next Meade County Jailer, to begin accomplishment of my 3rd Goal: To relieve the taxpayers of Meade County of the financial burden the MC Detention Center has placed on your shoulders.

“545 People”

I got a chance to go home last weekend. It’s been over 10 weeks since I last looked at the house, hugged my parents, and played at my church. Well, I finally got my chance to go and I took every opportunity to enjoy it. It’s a five-hour drive from here to my hometown, but it didn’t seem that long. I’d been waiting for this for weeks and it’s a wonder I remembered everything I needed to take for the homeward journey. But, as the landscape

Old Harriman High,” hit the concession stand, and met up with old and dear friends. The climax was church homecoming. It is pure joy to see all the ones with whom you have shared so much of your lives. A day of singing the old gospel songs, shedding a few tears, laughing about old times, and then climaxed with covered dishes overflowing in love. I did my piano solo, “We Shall Behold Him,” and the organist and I did a 10hymn medley. The only bad part of the whole weekend was having to say “goodbye” for now. One thing I do know, I feel a lot better than I did before I left.

‘One way’ streets won’t lead to better schools Jim Waters Bluegrass Beacon Solving Kentucky’s education problems requires at least an average amount of common sense. Those determined to maintain the status quo for education fail that test. This becomes clear during discussions of “hot-button issues,” including proposals that call for compensating teachers based upon their performance rather than paying them uniform salaries for time served and degrees achieved — not what students achieve. Critics of performancebased pay want to hang their hats on deficient research – like a recent study done at Vanderbilt University, which takes a very narrow, short-term look at the issue. The three-year study — not nearly enough time to properly evaluate any education policy — started with almost 300 middle school math teachers in Nashville’s public schools. Schools offered the teachers up to $15,000 in bonuses, based solely upon student improvement on standardized test scores.

student participation in – and performance on – Advanced Placement courses among the commonwealth’s 225 high schools. It also offers several (not just one) innovations, including both thorough training and financial rewards. For example, teachers get a bonus for each student that scores at least a “passing” score of “3.” Most universities allow a student who scores at that level to skip the freshman course in that subject when they get to college. It’s not by chance this comprehensive approach produces astounding results. The 28 high schools that participated in AdvanceKentucky during the 2009-10 school year accounted for 43 percent of all of Kentucky’s increases in Advanced Placement passing scores. The bonuses might not provide the silver bullet for AdvanceKentucky. But take them away, and I’m betting their gun aimed at improving state schools would lose a lot of pop. — Jim Waters is vice president of policy and communications for the Bluegrass Institute, Kentucky’s free-market think tank.

sense evaluation of teachers. The system measures each individual teacher on how that teacher’s students improved from start to finish of the school year. It also makes adjustments for teachers in inner cities versus upscale suburbs. How do you like them apples (to apples)? A sound testing system that allows for an accurate evaluation of student performance would start Kentucky on the road to fair performance-based pay for teachers — something impossible under the state’s previous CATS and KIRIS testing. And “in with the good” teachers would come “out with the bad.” Knowing that pay would equate to results would also help attract new teachers — dedicated to the profession and students. Maybe the Vanderbilt study would have worked if merit pay joined other initiatives such as chances for teachers to get more — and better — professional development. Actually, Kentucky provides such an example. AdvanceKentucky, one of the few successful educational programs in the commonwealth, addresses both financial incentives and professional development. The privately funded program’s goal is to increase

A Vanderbilt press release states the report found: “Rewarding teachers with bonus pay, in the absence of any other support programs, does not raise student test scores.” (emphasis added) Yes, the devil still lives in the details. No single element offers a “silver bullet” that would kill bad schooling. No single, isolated change can transform overnight the mediocrity in Kentucky’s education system. Yet while it may be right to resist using test scores as the only way to measure a teacher’s performance, it also would be wrong not to use the powerful incentives of financial bonuses connected to test scores as part of comprehensive reform. I concede to critics the flaw that comes with simplistically comparing a teacher in a classroom full of learningdisabled students from lowincome households with a colleague in a wealthy district full of extremely bright students with engaged parents. But critics go too far when they insist that no honest assessment of a teacher’s performance can come from test results. In Tennessee, the state’s exemplary testing system allows for fair, common

(Well, credit to Dad, too. He fried the potatoes and made the gravy!) Now, foundered from driving and eating, it was time to take a little drive around town and see if there were any changes. As it turned out, not only was it the weekend of my church homecoming, but also of my high school. So, Friday night I went to the football field and saw the Harriman Blue Devils beat Jellico 46-0.

Sorry Kentucky, but I am a Tennessee boy and seeing that “Welcome” sign and the red and blue flag with three stars in the circle told me I was once again in MY backyard. One of the best parts of the trip is driving over the Cumberland Plateau. It was reaching its end and seeing off the mountain to the valley in which I was raised that really was a sight for sore eyes. Then, there was that driveway and I was closer and closer.

POSTAGE MAILING INFORMATION

In response to the letter to the editor in the Sept. 10, 2010 issue of The News Standard: When the blind man’s family member bought the 25 acres referred to in the letter, a respected notary was present. The property taxes were paid by that family member from that day forward. He was debt free. The blind man could stay there as long as he paid his phone, electricity and garbage bill. He was given the right to continue to farm the 25 acres as well as another 53 acres that was a part of his inheritance. This worked fine for approximately three years. Then, he got into a relationship with a married neighbor woman and a group who used him and his disability as leverage in their protest against mandatory garbage bills. He quit paying his garbage bill, but still loved and farmed the 25 acres. After not paying his garbage bill for about a year, the courts appointed him a guardian/conservator. The married woman was named his guardian, and the blind man gave her 53 acres, his herd of cattle, hogs, three tractors and two combines. All of these assets we obtained for $0. Suit was brought against the family member for the 25 acres, all of this happened within three months of her receiving guardianship. I am submitting the official court ruling as written fact for public viewing with this letter and it will be on file at The News Standard. All the people who sent the letter to the editor have the same copy of the court ruling in their hands, although they chose to submit only half-truths. This did not work in court for them either. It seems that our tight-knit river front community has a few sand burs.

GENERAL CONTACT INFORMATION

The following was written by columnist Charley Reese of the Orlando Sentinel in 1985: Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don’t write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don’t set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don’t control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does. One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices — 545 human beings out of the 235 million — are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I excluded all but the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes. Don’t you see how the con game is played on the people by the politicians? Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of Tip O’Neill, who stood up and criticized Ronald Reagan for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating appropriations and taxes. O’Neill is the Speaker of the House. He is the leader of the majority party. He and his fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetos it, they can pass it over his veto. It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 235 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in Lebanon, it’s because they want them in Lebanon. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take it. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people and they alone are responsible. They and they alone have the power. They and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses — provided they have the gumption to manage their own employees.

Kenneth Harold Goff II

District Judge, Division 1 At any Court Trial, there is great controversy between the parties as to the facts and the law. There is much to win and to lose. Emotions run high and often anger. A good Judge keeps his head while those about him are losing theirs. There has to be a calmness before justice can be reached. I would appreciate your vote and inﬂuence.

I promise I will always be: • Civil and Respectful •Fair and Firm • Faithful to your Trust Paid for by Kenneth Harold Goff II District Judge Fund, Dennis Buckles, Treasurer.

Firefighters battle a blaze at an abandoned house on Oolite Road in Battletown last Thursday evening. Staff Report The News Standard A fire ravaged an abandoned home in Battletown last week. Firefighters from the Battletown Fire Protection District responded to a fire on Oolite Road around 7 p.m. last Thursday, ac-

cording to Battletown Fire Protection District spokesperson Melinda Hubbard. When firefighters arrived at the scene, they discovered an abandoned house next to Battletown General Store fully engulfed in flames. “Once we got called, it was fully involved at the

house,” Hubbard said. “Once it was a total loss, we watched it and made sure it didn’t spread.” Firefighters from Battletown, Payneville and Meade County Fire Protection Districts fought the blaze for nearly four hours, according to Hubbard.

Collision with train results in injuries

It took the response of nearly 40 firefighters, a truck and tanker from each district to fight the blaze. Battletown General Store sustained minimal damage, including slightly melted siding on the front of the store, Hubbard added.

Tidal Wave Bank celebrates 10 years serving, teaching students By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard Tidal Wave Bank is not your average financial institution. The bank rewards customers for having a savings account and if loans aren’t paid on time, someone’s heading to the principal’s office. Tidal Wave Bank recently celebrated its 10th birthday in style last Wednesday as students, teachers and community members gathered at Meade County High School to acknowledge the bank’s accomplishments, as well as dining on desserts made by MCHS students. A video was also shown explaining students’ job duties within the Tidal Wave Bank. “After 10 years, Tidal Wave Bank continues to be a successful program,” said Courtney McGraw, president of Tidal Wave Bank. In the fall of 2000, MCHS created Tidal Wave Bank, along with its core sponsor Meade County Bank. Paula Ashley was the first advisor to the bank. In fall 2007, a second branch of Tidal Wave Bank was opened at James R. Allen Freshman Academy. According to Kelly Holley, Tidal Wave Bank advisor, Meade County is the first

school in Kentucky to open a branch of a student financial institution. Currently, the bank has 14 student employees ranging from vice president of loans and collections, marketing, accounting to tellers. “It’s a great educational experience,” Holley said. Four tellers work at the bank branch in the MCHS cafeteria and JRA cafeteria. Each teller has $200 in their drawer and count their money at the end of each day. By working at the bank, “students get to see the banking process all the way through,” Holley said. Similar to professional banks, Tidal Wave Bank offers loans, savings accounts and even offer lunch loans. To keep along that route, students have to maintain a minimum balance of $5 in their savings account. If it drops below that, they are charged a minimal fee. When students open a savings account they earn a 2.48 percent interest. Essentially, the bank is paying students who have a savings account, Holley said. For example, Holley said her daughter couldn’t open up an account at a local bank without accompanying her. So instead, she put her

A core aspect of the bank is lunch loans, which has a 10cent fee attached to it. Each day a student is late paying back the loan, an extra 5 cents is added to what they owe. If a student doesn’t pay back a loan within three weeks, they are issued a detention. “It’s educating them in financial literacy,” Holley said. “It costs money to borrow money. Everybody does it.

Meade Veterinary Hospital holds open house with various activities By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard The Meade County Veterinary Hospital (MCVH) held an open house last Sunday from 1-4 p.m. The event served as a “thank you” to the company’s patrons for accepting the new doctors with open arms.

The open house included free food, children’s games, raffles, door prizes and a petting zoo. MCVH offers a variety of services to man’s best friends, which includes bathing treatments, day care, cat and dog boarding, dental care, surgery, radiology and a full stocked animal pharmacy. Meade County Veteri-

nary Hospital is open from 8 a.m.–5:30 p.m. MondayFriday, from 8 a.m.–1 p.m. on Saturday and is closed on Sunday. MCVH is located on 1210 Old Ekron Rd in Brandenburg. For more information on MCVH, or to set up an appointment, call 270422-3395 or e-mail meadecountyvet@bbtel.com.

It’s OK to do it as long as you make your payments.” In the beginning stages of receiving a loan, the loan officers look at a student’s GPA, attendance records and any disciplinary actions against them. To Holley, looking at these aspects are essentially like a student’s credit score. “If you can’t come to school and keep your grades up, how can we expect you to pay back a loan,” Holley said. If a student is denied a loan, a loan officer speaks with that student and explains why it happened. “I want them to see there is a responsibility that comes with getting a loan,” Holley

said. Similar to regular banks, Tidal Wave Bank runs promotions every so often. In August, they ran a campaign where, if a student opens an account, they receive bubble gum coins. “The students learn not only how to use a bank, but how to run a bank,” Holley said. While working at the bank, students also learn how to notice fraudulent checks and counterfeit money. Throughout her tenure at MCHS, Holley has taught students at Tidal Wave Bank to find their unmarked potential. Between their hands-on

experience and job shadowing at Meade County Bank, some students ultimately find out they enjoy the banking and finance industry and pursue it in college. One student even gets chosen to be a full-time intern. “It offers them a great opportunity for future employment,” Holley said. Holley spoke about a female student from the first Tidal Wave Bank class in 2000. She took the class and still works at Meade County Bank 10 years later. “The students have enough skills to go to a bank and start a career,” Holley said. “A lot of kids get in there and love it. Even if some kids don’t fully enjoy the experience, they will acquire skills they will use when they use banks for the rest of their lives, Holley said. As for the future of the bank, Holley is interested in making the bank become digital, creating more security and incorporating debit cards in some fashion. “(Tidal Wave Bank) is an opportunity that many students don’t get,” Holley said. “I owe a lot of that to our board and Meade County Bank. Both want what’s best for our kids at Meade County High School — financial education.

Staff Report The News Standard The Meade County Saddle Club is hosting its Fourth Annual M.A.R.C. open horse show on Oct. 9. Proceeds of the event will benefit the Meade Association for Retarded Citizens (MARC). The horse show caps off a successful summer season of shows hosted by the saddle club. Youth and adult riders will be featured in the show, competing in a variety of barrel and pole races. Events include pee-wee

poles, junior horse poles, youth poles, open poles, open flags, pee-wee barrels, junior horse barrels, youth barrels, adult barrels, as well as open barrels. There will also be a youth rescue race, which puts riders in a race against the clock and each other to see who can reach their partner at the other end of the arena the fastest. The partner then swings up onto the horse’s back and the pair races back to the end of the arena the rider started on. An auction to raise funds for M.A.R.C. will

also be conducted the day of the show. New and used items will be auctioned off. All proceeds generated by the auction will also go to M.A.R.C.

Ky. stink bug infestation reported Purchase Area soybean producers are reporting large numbers of stink bugs in their fields. University of Kentucky extension entomologist Doug Johnson encourages soybean producers to scout their fields as soon as possible for this pest and continue scouting until the soybeans reach

the beginning maturity, or R7, stage. “Late-season pests of soybeans are very dangerous, because they feed directly on the yield, and because they are often overlooked,” said Johnson, who’s in the UK College of Agriculture. The large number of stink bug populations could partially be caused by the drought in the Purchase Area and other parts of

Western Kentucky. Typically, stink bugs feed on a variety of plants, but this year’s drought may have limited their feeding options, causing them to concentrate on remaining crops. In addition to soybeans, this includes many grass crops, especially newly seeded ones. Three or four stink bug species are common in Kentucky, and they are typically brown or green.

the game for Stuart Pepper. “He is a very special young man,” SPMS head coach Gery Whelan said. “You just put the ball in his hands and good things are going to happen. He makes very few mistakes. He’s just a gamer.” One of Wilson’s motivations is taking his older brother’s job as the Greenwave’s varsity quarterback. “I hope so. I’d like to take it,” Wilson said laughing. “He helps me with my throwing and he tells me to work as hard as I can.”

Ashlee Sireno hits the ball out of a bunker at the regional tourney.

The cool weather was an unfamiliar foe for the Meade County Lady Waves golf team who played in the 3rd Region tournament on Tuesday at the Elizabethtown Country Club in Elizabethtown, Ky. “Their swings may have been affected a little bit,” said Meade County head coach Rob Miller said. “You could tell they were tensing up just as they were about to bring the head of the club through their swing.” Temperatures dipped away from the recent 90-degree weather and into the lower 60s and windy. As the round turned toward the back nine, the sun peeked its way through the clouds and warmed up the course and the team. “They definitely loosened up,” Miller said. “It made them a little more positive and they finished the final round of the season strong.” The team shot a 485 with senior Jessi Adams leading the way with a 104 — eight shots behind her regional score from last year. “She had a couple of rough

It just wasn’t the Meade County Greenwave golf team’s day. With its top scorer junior Chase Garris hitting 11 shots over his season average and several other players shooting above their averages, the team ﬁnished outside the top two teams in the 3rd Region Golf Tournament held at the Lincoln Trail Country Club in Vine Grove, Ky. “It was bad in terms of how close we really were,” said Meade County head coach Josh Thompson, whose team ended with a 335, 13 shots behind second place

state qualifier Elizabethtown. Garris, who made the state cut last year, was on the outside looking in for most of the day and finished with an 83. The season before he was in a playoff for the final spot but was edged out during the final hole. “Chase had a really tough day,” Thompson said. “And Chase is one of the guys we lean on the most. If he can stay around his average we’re in pretty good shape a lot of the time. But it’s golf, that’s going to happen.” The biggest contributor was the Greenwave low scorer freshman Dustin McMahan with an 82. “If he keeps making the same

improvements like he has been, he’s going to be a heck of a golfer,” Thompson said of McMahan. “Honestly, I’m probably more impressed with what he’s done in the amount of time he’s done it than anyone I’ve coached.” Matt Hewlett had a rough start with a triple bogey on his first hole. But he finished out strong by scoring a 38 on his final nine holes. He also finished the round with a birdie to end with an 84. “(Hewlett) had a rough time on the front, but he ended strong on the back,” Thompson said. “He shoots 38 and it was a great way to See STRUGGLES, Page B3

Lone senior leads the way for volleyball team The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team’s senior class may be small, but it certainly plays a huge part in their game. It was only typified during senior night when lone senior Tiffany Filburn finished off the second game with five of the final six points as Meade County defeated the Shelby County Rockets, 25-18, 25-19. “It wasn’t really important,” Filburn said about finishing out the second game with five kills. “I didn’t really care if I did it or not. I mean it was nice to do it, but all I cared about was our team winning as a whole.” Filburn helped the team come from behind in the second set when they were down 9-2. But the Lady Waves held Shelby County to only 10 more points as they rattled off scoring streaks of five, six and four.

Girls soccer seals district No. 3 seed

If there is such a thing as a good loss, the Meade County Lady Waves soccer team had one when they faced No. 12 Elizabethtown Lady Panthers on Sept. 22, and lost 5-1. “This is definitely it,” Meade County head coach Dan Shook said of having a good loss. “Looking at their record, you knew how good of a team they are. I told them it’s going to take everything we got mentally and physically to stay with this team.” Despite the loss, Meade County locked up the district tournament’s third seeding, which will pin them against Fort Knox in the first round. Meade County beat Fort Knox 4-0 earlier in the season. “It’s really important to get a team we can beat. I think we can beat Fort Knox,” said senior defender Marissa Moorman. “We’ve improved a lot over the past few weeks. We communicate on the field better. So we’re looking pretty good heading into the district tournament.” Against the Lady Panthers, Meade County gave up a goal 2 and a half minutes into the game. The Lady Waves knotted the game at one apiece when freshman striker Katelyn Cucino booted in a rebound shot. “To get that early goal was huge,” Shook said. “It was a legitimate good goal. We kept pressure on the keeper. We preach that all the time. You never know where a deflection or a ping off the post will go. Our players were where they needed to be.” Meade County took only 4 minutes to score against the district’s top team — while they took nearly 30 minutes to score against district bottom feeder Fort Knox during their previous game. “I don’t get it,” Shook said. “We take a long time to score against Fort Knox, then we come out strong against E’town.” “We just came out ready to play,” Moorman added. It was Meade County’s first goal against Elizabethtown since 2003. “It’s been a long time since we’ve scored on them,” Shook said. “Of course we were looking for the win with a goal. But, you look for victories where you can find them. We knew we were the big underdog.” Elizabethtown retook the momentum and kept the ball in their possession for the remainder of the game. “It can get tiring,” Moorman said about defending the E’town offense, which has scored 63 goals this season. “They’re a really good team and they keep the ball on our defensive side of the field almost the entire game.” The Lady Panthers offense is strong

Greenwave drops fourth straight game to Greenwood By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

The Bowling Green Greenwood Gators have the Meade County Greenwave football team’s number. The past four meetings Greenwood has won, including last Friday’s 34-17 victory at Meade County. “It’s frustrating,” said Meade County head coach Larry Mofield. “We just can’t rise to the occasion and get one against them. They have had our number.” Meade County drew first blood early in the game when Thomas Wilson broke free for a 50-yard run to put the Greenwave on the 4 yard line. It was Wilson’s first play since the John Hardin game. “He’s a good player,” senior offensive lineman Jeremy Greenwood said. “He adds a lot of athleticism to the team and gets us going.” But the drive stalled after a penalty and the Greenwave settled for a senior Michael Clinkscales 21-yard field goal, making the score 3-0. The red zone offense was a problem for Meade County

most of the game. With the score 21-17 with 39 seconds left in the first half, the Greenwave recovered an onside kick and took the ball to the 10 yard line. The Gators intercepted the ball 16 seconds later to stop the Greenwave from taking the lead. During the opening drive of the second half, Meade County drove the ball to the 25 yard line but turned the ball over on downs. Also, with 1:41 left in the third quarter a drive ended with an interception on the 4 yard line. “We had opportunities tonight,” Mofield said. “We had a shot right before half. We had a shot just at the beginning of the half.” The Gators took the lead early during the game when senior tailback Austin Howell scored on a 4-yard run, making the score 7-3. After a Thomas Wilson touchdown run, Greenwood reclaimed the lead when Howell recovered a shanked punt from Meade County’s own end zone to make the score 14-10 with 10:45 left in the half. Meade County’s punt team has been plagued with bad

snaps all season long. “It’s been a factor every game,” Mofield said of the team’s punting woes. “We’ve had a couple kids snapping. It’s something we work on — that’s the frustrating part.” The Greenwave’s final score came on a long drive, which took five minutes to complete. Wilson scored on a quarterback sneak with 42 seconds left in the half, making the score 21-14. “That was a good drive,” said senior tight end Ryan Hogan. “We need to do that more often. That’s what Meade County is all about.” The Greenwave was shut out in the second half, while the defense gave up two more touchdowns. Meade County turned the ball over four times in the second half. “We’ve got to go back to fundamentals,” Mofield said. “That’s what’s plaguing us. We have to score a little bit more and we have to shore up our tackling and special teams. Right now, we just have to get the job done.” Wilson and senior tailback Rex Liverman added a little spark to the Greenwave of-

fense, where they hooked up for 72 yards passing. “We didn’t have enough spark,” Mofield said. “We fizzled out. They made some plays and we didn’t make plays when we needed to.” Liverman also had 12 rushes for 85 yards, while Wilson had 135 yards on the ground and 140 yards through the air. Meade County’s defense has given up 174 points in five games. Greenwood’s 34 points is the most the Greenwave have given up during the series between the two teams. “We just got out hit today,” senior linebacker Brandon Hubbard said. “They did whatever they wanted to do. We have to start hitting people. We’re playing soft.” Tonight the Greenwave will host district rival North Hardin at 7 p.m. In the past two seasons, Meade County has gone into the North Hardin game with losing streaks. This year, the team is on a four game skid. “We’re not losing to North,” Hogan said. “We cannot lose to North.”

Bo Wilson makes an over-the-head catch last Friday.

SPMS From page B1 when Wilson connected with wide out John Miller for a 27-yard pass. Wilson also hooked up with Miller for the 2-point conversion to make the score 20-12. “We were able to pound and grind the game out,” Whelan said. “We were able to run the ball, pass the ball and distribute the ball out well.” Meade County had a different player score each touchdown as David Sipes added a final score with 3:57 left on the game clock. It wasn’t just Wilson, Miller, Sipes and Dix who shined on the football field. It took all 90 middle school participants to help the team get to its 9-0 season. “Usually, we have around 55 every year,” Whelan said. I don’t know, maybe it’s the tradition this year. But, the kids are very dedicated. These kids show up every day to do work.” The team typically plays games on Saturday and has had only two weekends off

Lone From page B1 She’s as important to us as a lot of teams who lose ﬁve seniors.” Filburn has been a part of the program for ﬁve years and started as an eighth grader. In fact, the entire Filburn family has been a staple to the Lady Waves program. While the team has gone through three coaching changes in the last four years, the Filburn family has been the remaining constant. “Ever since I started coaching, they have helped out so much,” Smith said. “Whenever I had a question they could answer it. They have been around volleyball for a long time.” Filburn’s sister, Megan played for Meade County three seasons ago, while Filburn herself has been playing volleyball since the second grade. “My dad and sister taught me how to play volleyball,” Filburn said. “It was such a blessing to be able to play with my sister a few years ago. That was a great experience.” While her father, Mark, may have wanted sons playing football, Filburn and her sister quickly changed his mind. “Our dad used to wish we were boys,” Filburn said. “So, he tried to get us to play basketball because it was kind of like football — a contact sport. But, we picked volleyball. Now he loves it. I think he loves it more than we do sometimes. He loves watching us.” Filburn has been a part of the three straight district championships and is gunning for her fourth. But it has been a roller coaster of emotions, including, three different coaches, and losing teammate Chelsea Stinnett in a tragic car crash, all while

maintaining some of the best season records in the region. “There has been a lot of drama,” Filburn said. “Sometimes we got along. Sometimes we didn’t. I learned so much from Chelsea. I really learned a lot from all these experiences.” She has also been a great leader for the team especially for her setter, Clark. “She defended me when I messed up,” Clark said, who started as a sophomore last year. “If I messed up some of the seniors would say ‘you messed up.’ Filburn was always positive. She understood. She had been in my shoes. She knew exactly how it was.” Those intangibles along with the statistics are going to make a considerable void for the Lady Waves to ﬁll next year. “It’s going to be hard to replace her,” Clark said. “We’ll try, but it will probably never be the same without her.” Meade County goes 4-2 at E’town The Lady Waves participated in the Elizabethtown invitational tournament and

went 2-1 beating Bullitt 2-1 in pool play, beating Bullitt East, 21-7, 21-10 and Heath, 21-10, 21-19. But they lost to host Elizabethtown in three sets. Meade County then beat North Bullitt, 21-15, 21-17 and Bullitt East, 21-15-21-15, in the first round of single elimination bracket. They faced Elizabethtown again and lost. Senior middle hitter Tiffany Filburn led the team with 44 kills, 14 aces, five block four assists and 78 digs, while junior outside hitter Rachel Powers had 12 kills, seven aces, 15 digs.

He knows that the progress of the team will have to come from the off season dedication. “The good thing is we get them all back,” he said. “I want there to be a big improvement from now till then. They’re responsible for that. They’re responsible for getting a lot better. We’ll see what happens. The next season starts when this season ends. They can’t just put their golf bags away. They’ll have to work on things and

to go away. When they tee it up, it’s time to get it on. It’s time to play.” North Hardin was the team champion with a score of 315. North Hardin junior Anthony Irwin took the individual crown, shooting a 71 in his round. The top two teams qualify for next week’s state tournament in Bowling Green, Ky.

Archery team to travel to World Championship By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

Much like Super Bowl Champions, the Meade County archery team can say, “I’m going to Disney World” this weekend. The high school team is set to defend its world title Sunday when they travel to Orlando, Fla., to compete in the second annual National Archery in Schools World Championship. Defending the title won’t be so easy. “Everyone is getting really good,” senior archer Nathan Parcell said about the tournament which is expected to have a record turnout this year. “The scores are getting so tight and it’s really hard to compete.” NASP began in Kentucky eight years ago. Since then the program has expanded to where the World Tournament will feature teams from the United States, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. “This area and region is where it started,” Parcell said. “This is where it all began and all the state championships come from around here. The tradition is pretty big.” Not only is the high school team going, but Stuart Pepper Middle School will be represented along

Nathan Parcell and Aurora Laslie practice this week for the NASP World Championship tournament in Orlando, Fla., which will take place on Sunday. with Payneville Elementary and several other individuals from Meade County. The trip is primarily a vacation for most of the archers and the families. The team is taking several players who have never been to Disney World. Because the trip is more focused on fun than the actual competition, Meade County has not had many practices. Individuals have practiced on their own

time, however, the team is not as competitive as it will be when the archery season is in full swing around mid-February. “I try to practice as much as I can,” said senior Aurora Laslie, who is also a member of FFA, 4-H and NHS. “I’m pretty busy. Behind school work and FFA, archery is No. 3.” Laslie — who shot a personal best of 289 at last year ’s tournament —

along with the high school team — will still aim for No. 1 Sunday. But first and foremost, a vacation for students awaits. “I can’t wait to go to the beach and relax,” Laslie said. All Parcell had to say was two words… “Space Mountain.” Check next week’s issue of the News Standard for the results of the World Championship tournament.

From page B1 holes at the beginning,” Miller said of Adams who finished 23 in the region. “She got back into the swing of things and shot in the 40s at the back nine.” On the seventh hole, Adams four-putted. Her struggles overflowed into the next few holes until she shot in the 40s on the back nine to finish out her career as a Lady Wave golfer. “She’s going to be missed,” Miller said, whose first year of coaching was also Adams’ first year of golf four years ago. “I think she didn’t give her self enough credit. She really was a good golfer and a great person.” Adams has been a leader for the team the past few years and also is a Governor’s Scholar. “She’s a great leader and really means a lot to the team,” Miller said. “She helped out with a lot of things — even the small stuff — like telling the girls rules they may not have known and how to handle themselves out on the course.” The remainder of the team will return next year and will be led by junior Karlea King and sophomore Rachel Harreld. King finished with a 113, while Harreld ended with a 122. “Karlea has come along nicely,” Miller said. “She really has improved the last few weeks. Rachel has done well, too.” “I think Karlea and Rachel are really going to focus during the off season. Rachel has private lessons in the fall, and I think Rachel will get

Freshman Hannah Moore hits the ball out of the rough. some, too. I tell the girls it takes more than just playing on July 15. To get better, you have to keep playing.” Hanna Moore and junior Ashlee Sireno rounded out the team score by each scoring 146. “Hannah has really improved,” Miller said. “That’s saying a lot for only playing golf for two months. She had some bad holes today, but she held her own.” Sireno has had a season of ups and downs during her first year as a Lady Wave golfer. “You take away a few bad holes here and there and Ashlee did well,” Miller said. The team is returning nine players including four mid-

dle schoolers. It was the first time many of the players even played golf and throughout the season some of them knocked off as much as 30 strokes from their game. “Overall, I think we enjoyed the day and the season,” Miller said. “We got better all season long and we came into the region tournament playing our best. We have a lot of players coming back. They seem to be dedicated, which is good for our future.” Elizabethtown’s sophomore Lydia Gumm finished 12 shots ahead of second place with a 68 to win the individual title, while Central Hardin won the team championship with a score of 359.

Nine minutes after Cucino’s goal, the Lady Panthers put in a goal off a handball inside the goal box. The penalty kick resulted in a goal. Elizabethtown extended the lead, 3-1, 2 minutes later off a corner kick. During the second half, Elizabethtown scored two more goals at four minutes in and with 2 minutes left in the game. “Four is a good goal differential against a team like E’town,” Shook said. “You hate to let a late goal like

that though.” Meade beats Apollo, Collins Meade County traveled to Owensboro Apollo last Saturday and won 2-1. Against Shelbyville Collins on Tuesday, the homestanding Lady Waves won 3-1.

Paws Corner By Sam Mazzotta The Cats That Couldn’t Shoot Straight

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read Linda’s letter (“Cat’s Aim Is Off the Mark”), and we also had the same problem. I bought a large plastic tote that was “above the aim” and used that in place of the lid by setting it up sideways and sliding the litter box into it. Problem solved! — Sharon L., Kissimmee, Fla. DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We used a small doggie litter box to address this problem with an older cat at my workplace. We also placed pee pads underneath and against the wall just in case her aim was way off. — Ann in Rochester, N.Y. DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I had this problem with “Gabriel,” our 8-year-old Maine Coon. After observing him, I realized that as a senior cat, he couldn’t squat to pee as well as he used to and so he would overshoot the box. I finally made Gabriel a “custom” litter box that solved the issue permanently. I bought a large Rubbermaid storage container and simply cut a doorway into the side of it for him. With the container’s almost 18-inch walls, there simply is no overshooting or spraying over the top. You have to use a box cutter or carpet knife to cut out the opening (be very careful not to slip and cut yourself). Both Gabriel and I are happy campers! — Brett N., Atlanta DEAR READERS: Thanks for writing, all of you! I’ve definitely had a lot of responses, suggesting that even though a cat missing the litter box is usually a minor issue, it’s very, very common. Again, if you’re concerned about a cat’s spraying over the edge of the box, bring it to the vet for a checkup, just to rule out anything physically wrong.

Q: I love the Starz original series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” and I am eager to know if the series will return for a second season. I know that the show’s star, Andy Whitfield, has been battling cancer, but I heard he was on the mend. — Theresa F., Bowling Green, Ohio A: Andy had been making terrific progress. His nonHodgkin Lymphoma was in remission, he was back in training for “Spartacus,” and in an appearance at July’s San Andy Whitfield Diego Comic-Con, he said that he felt better than ever. However, Andy and Starz recently announced that the actor had to leave the series to immediately resume aggressive treatment for the recurrence of his cancer. Andy said in a statement: “It’s with a deep sense of disappointment that I must step aside from such an exceptional project as ‘Spartacus’ and all the wonderful people involved. It seems that it is time for myself and my family to embark on another extraordinary journey.” A representative for the network said the future of the series will be discussed at a later date. Starz still plans to air the show’s prequel, “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,” in January 2010. It focuses on the House of Batiatus before Spartacus arrives in Capua, and stars returning cast members John Hannah and Lucy Lawless. Q: My husband and I are big fans of the new cop show “The Good Guys.” It’s such a refreshing change from all the same old ones. Can you please tell us if it will be picked up for another season? — Linda M., via e-mail A: The buddy cop show, which premiered in May on Fox, has been picked up for a second season, and has acquired fall-season status. You can catch it on Friday nights (rather than Mondays). I’m sure that its stars, Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks, thank you for your support. Q: David Cross is one of my favorite comedians. What has he been up to lately? — Paul F., via e-mail A: The 46-year-old funnyman has brought his original comedy series, “The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret,” to the Independent Film Channel, where it airs Friday nights. This hilarious show follows the entertaining misadventures of an American pathological liar (David) as he bluffs his way into a senior marketing job in the London office for an energy drink called ThunderMuscle. The always-hilarious Will Arnett plays his boss. To read my fun interview with David, go to www.celebrityextraonline.com. Q: Who are your early picks to take home the mirror-ball trophy on “Dancing With the Stars”? — Harriet F., Tacoma, Wash. A: Hands-down, my early favorites are Jennifer Grey and Kyle Massey. Jennifer dances like she has the spirit of Patrick Swayze guiding her, and Kyle has youthful exuberance and showmanship on his side. I can’t wait to see more from them.

• It was American author and futurist Alvin Toffler who made the following sage observation: “Profits, like sausages, are esteemed most by those who know least about what goes into them.” • Are you a dipsomaniac? The root of the word is from the Greek “dipso,” meaning “thirst” — and we’re all familiar with the “mania” part. “Dipsomaniac” is just a fancy name for a drunk. • You may be surprised to learn that 43 percent of 6- to 9-year-old girls use lip gloss. Of course, if you’re a parent of a young girl, you may not be surprised at all. • A newly married couple sued the upscale resort in Chile where they spent their honeymoon when a swim in the pool turned the bride’s waist-length blond hair green. • The oldest known skis were found, perhaps unsurprisingly, in Scandinavia. The experts say the skis were made about 4,000 years ago. • If you live in the state of Minnesota, you might want to keep in mind that it’s against the law to sleep with no clothes on. •Thought for the Day: “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your moodier side might emerge this week. But the dark period should pass in time for the party-loving Lamb to go on a happy gambol with some very special people this weekend. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Yet again, you show your skill at being able to indulge in your love of the arts this week while still taking care of practical matters, including some still-unfinished business matters. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A potential change might appear to be what you’ve been looking for. In any event, consider both the negative as well as the positive possibilities before making any sort of decision. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relationships continue to dominate your aspect this week on a mostly positive level, with just a few problem areas you can smooth over. Also, try to be flexible about travel plans. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love being on center stage, and while you absolutely purr at the sound of all that praise, be careful not to take on too many commitments at the expense of time spent with loved ones. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might feel that you need to get involved in a matter concerning a friend or relative. But while the issues appear to be cut and dried, they might not be. Get more facts before you act. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A suggestion about a policy change could create heated reactions. Keep your mind open and resist joining in with naysayers unless they can show a real basis for their position. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While potential career changes warrant your interest, don’t ignore current job responsibilities. A personal relationship can also benefit from more of your attention. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Don’t guess at what the facts might be if you hope to make the best decision possible. The wise course is to ask direct questions and act on the answers you get. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your efforts involving that pesky problem should soon show positive signs of being resolved. This would allow you to shift some of your focus in another direction. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While you enjoy well-deserved praise for getting a difficult job done, there’s no time to relax. A new challenge looms. Expect more support from a once-strong critic. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might still have explaining to do about your decision, but support grows as you continue to make your case. You also might want to start making plans for the upcoming holidays. BORN THIS WEEK: You insist on making decisions based on facts, not on popular opinions.

Youth Flaherty festival draws large numbers, community pride The News Standard - B11

Friday, October 1, 2010

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard The walls of Flaherty Elementary and Flaherty Primary were booming with the sounds of eager kids and anxious parents when both schools held a combined Fall Festival last Friday. The event was stretched from the Flaherty Primary Gym over to the Flaherty Elementary library. “It’s our biggest fundraiser and it was very successful,” said Marcie Crawley, PTO president for Flaherty Schools. Both schools share the same PTO board and the school will be sharing the money. School pride was evident with the high attendance at the event. This has to do with living in such a close knit community, Crawley said. In the Flaherty Elementary cafeteria, Stephen Barr from Barr Reality and Auction helped run a cake auction. Twenty-five cent tickets were sold for each of the children’s games. Some of the activities included a duck pond, face painting, fake glitter tattoos, inflatable jump slide, video games, temporary hair color-

RIGHT: Brittany Shepard sprays a student’s hair blue. ing, basketball and ring toss. This year’s fall festival was a bit different compared to years’ past due to the construction of Flaherty Primary.

So, the activities were broken off between the schools. Right now, Crawley estimates the event raised around $28,000.

How the money will be used has not been decided yet, but Crawley said it would be determined based on the schools’ need.

SPMS students gather for prayer

Lady Waves Saturday League Results from Sept. 18

The News Standard/Jennifer Corbett

Stuart Pepper Middle School students gathered around the flagpole early Wednesday, September 22, for “See You At the Pole.” The event was in honor of “See You At the Pole 2010” for the Annual Global Day of Student Prayer. Teacher J.R. Drummond led the event. He gathered the students in prayer and spoke about creating a chain reaction of positive events, just as they learned from Rachel’s Challenge August 27. This is the 20th anniversary for “See You At the Pole,” a student initiated and student-led movement that began in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1990. “See You At the Pole” brings students to their school flagpoles to intercede for their leaders, schools and families, asking God to bring moral and spiritual awakening to their campuses and countries.

Kids receive pizza for reading efforts

The Meade County Public Library joined with local daycares to bring the Summer Reading Program to more children in the community. Daycare providers tracked the time kids spent reading and then redeemed their reading logs for chances to win prizes. Nanny’s Daycare won a pizza party from the library after they spent more than eight hours reading this summer. More than 425 children attended library programs or tracked reading progress during the summer. Participants read over 105,240 minutes and received more than 100 prize books for their efforts. One hundred eighty-one prize entries were received from daycares alone. This amounts to 1,754 hours read or 72 days.
