Meade County Circuit Court held the preliminary hearings of two substantial cases with local ties last Thursday. Circuit Judge Bruce Butler presided over the hearing of Jeffrey Lay, who is accused of the September murder of Danny Embry, at Embry’s Brandenburg home. At the hearing, Commonwealth’s Attorney Susan Streible asked Butler for 30 days to respond to motions of discovery requested by Lay’s attorneys.

Fires broke out on certain training areas of Fort Knox last week, according to post officials. The fires, which began on Tuesday or Wednesday, were the result of normal training operations coupled with longstanding drought conditions which have plagued the region since late summer. Initially, the fires were somewhat contained by the base’s man-made firebreaks, roads, natural waterways, and efforts of the Fort Knox and Bullitt County fire departments. Once it became obvious the fires were growing harder to contain, a mutual aid agreement between Fort Knox and surrounding fire departments enlisted the help of fire departments in the surrounding area, including the Flaherty Fire Protection District. More than 50 firefighters from the area departments were on hand to assist in suppressing the fires. Though areas of the training range are generally open for hunting this time of year, such activity has been suspended because of current fires. Fort Knox fire and range officials continue monitoring the fires on a 24-hour basis and efforts are ongoing to contain and put out the fires, officials said.

By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard As one chapter of the memories from the past 100 years ends, another chapter begins, as Meade County Public Library will soon be sporting a new façade. MCPL celebrated the centennial anniversary of the building it calls home with a birthday party last Thursday. People were able to dine on cake that featured a portrait of the building from 100 years ago, as well as browse through old pictures from the 1970s and 1980s. Library goers were also able to commemorate their favorite times by writing them down in a notebook the library will archive.

“We, the ‘jury’”

Who really wins or loses elections? Jeff Johnson Ky. Patriots Group As I write this, there is one week remaining until the 2010 mid-term elections; the official results are still unknown. I have no idea whether the Democrats will retain power in Congress, or if the often predicted Republican tidal wave will, in fact, wash over the political landscape. One result that there is very little question about is, who lost? It is we, the American people. Regardless of the outcome of this election, there is one fact that we can count on… one (or maybe even both) of the two dominant parties is going to claim victory, and very little will change. Have you had enough? Friends, we are being played. We are being played by two opposing forces that constantly warn us about the supposed evils of the other side. We all know the perennial transgressions that each party accuses the other of. In doing this, the party leadership knows that it is splitting the population into two groups, limiting the number of opponents that

ago with little development, very few businesses, high taxes, and the attitude of we like it that way. Yet, if you’re like me and tired of having to drive to other counties to shop, eat or for simple entertainment or just tired of having to put an extra $5 or $10 worth of gas in your vehicle every time you have to do the afore mentioned, then its time for a change. I believe we have a slate of new candidates at every level that want to move forward. It’s you the voter that can make that happen. The next time you read your property tax bill or have to spend a large part of your income weekly to get to work, or shop, or even enjoy a meal not considered fast food, then think about who you elect.

closely reflected their position. There would be NO party affiliation. The two candidates that received the most votes during the primary would then move on to the general election. In this manner, the more liberal districts would be able to choose from liberal candidates, while conservative districts could choose from conservatives. Does anyone see a downside to this alternative? Or, are you happy with politics as it is now? One thing is for sure…I don’t know what the answer is, I just know that what we are currently doing ain’t it! We, the American People, are being pitted against each other. I suspect that I’m not the only one that feels this way. If you have the same concerns that I do, you have two choices…either sit back and accept things the way that they are, or get involved and try to make a difference. I’m not sure that we can REALLY change things, but I DO know that I would rather try and fail, than to just lay down and see this great nation go the way of so many other great civilizations of history. What say you? Have you had enough?!?!

cal Court has failed to move the gold for the past eight years. Let’s send a message that Meade County isn’t “Mayberry RFD” or i.e. “The Andy Griffith Show” and we deserve better. In November, when you step into the voting booth, please consider the names on the ballot and if they have served us well or just been part of the problem. If you feel Meade County is all it can be, then any incumbent might do. But if you feel your outlook for this county could be much more than what it is presently, then consider the manes on the ballot. P.S. The library board just voted to raise your property taxes for the library operation cost for the present library. Isn’t that nice! What’s next? Paul Cibolski Flaherty, KY

the safety factor. That’s understandable. That’s what a commander does. Yet, Meade County which borders the post is just now trying to get it in gear. Small communities such as Radcliff and Rineyville have increased in size by over 20 percent in the past couple years. What if Meade County would have had the foresight to start encouraging builders and businesses to look at us a few years back? What if there were 300-plus new homes in nice subdivisions ready for sale, several nice apartments or duplex communities available for immediate occupancy, several nice family-style restaurants like O’Charley’s, Texas Roadhouse, etc., or how about a Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target store?

Two-thirds of West Virginians approve of the job performance of Gov. Joe Manchin. In ordinary circumstances, that would be enough to get him any promotion he wants. Not in 2010. As soon as he stepped off the state stage into a federal race, he became associated with Obama liberalism, a deadly virus against which personal popularity — and even moderation — provides only limited immunity.

In the 2008 primary, Clinton beat Barack Obama in West Virginia by 67 percent to 26 percent. Today, Obama’s approval rating in the state is ... 29 percent. Democrats have undertaken an experiment in whether you can be the self-styled party of working people if you don’t have much appeal to a swath of working people. Obama famously boasted to a retiring conservative Democratic congressman that this year would be different from 1994, because Democrats had him at the top.

tutional and legal rights? What difference does political party really make? How many of us make decisions at the ballot box based simply on party lines? Is this right? In his Farewell Address, President Washington talked about the dangers of political parties. I have mentioned this before in a previous column, and won’t go into it right now. I DO encourage you, however, to research and read what he had to say about this subject. The more I read about the Father of our Country, the more I realize that he was truly a visionary when it came to issues pertaining to our experiment in democracy. He predicted that political parties would become self-sustaining entities, worthy of suspicion, and I now see the wisdom of his words. What if there were no political parties? Imagine this…what if our primary elections were NOT along party lines, but rather along philosophy? What if primary elections included EVERY candidate, and had no party affiliation? During the primary season, each candidate could espouse their positions. At the ballot box, each voter would vote on that candidate that most

it must face, and enabling them to minimize their expenditures while maximizing their profits. This is the classic military strategy of “divide and conquer”. The fact is, very few of us fit conveniently into one of these two categories. We chose sides, many times out of fear that if we don’t, our votes will be “wasted”. Personally, I am sick and tired of voting for the “lesser of two evils”. Have you had enough? What if we could vote on a candidate based on their beliefs, rather than on their party affiliation? If you are a Meade County resident, one of the most interesting races is for Meade County Sheriff. In the last election, the Republican candidate, Butch Kerrick, won by one vote. This years election is a rematch, and of this date, is pretty close. One question keeps bugging me though…what is the difference between a Democrat or a Republican Sheriff? Why should the race for sheriff be a partisan one? Would one pursue their office along different lines merely because of their party affiliation? Is that what we really want from a sheriff? Or do we want someone that will stand up for our consti-

VIEWPOINTS

It is now down to a matter of hours before voters choose the leadership they want in Meade County, Frankfort, and Washington, D.C. The act of voting is a solemn one. And, in many ways it is comparable to serving on a jury. When our justice system calls for a trial by jury, the men and women who decide the verdict are chosen from peers of the accused. That is what the citizens of Meade County will do on Tuesday. They will not be choosing the best Democrat, the best Republican or the best Independent. They will be choosing from among their peers who they feel to be the best in leadership positions. The candidates stand “accused” of one of two charges: They either have done a good job in the office they now hold or they have offered promising alternatives that should at least be tried. All the evidence has been presented. Those who currently hold office have records — how they voted, what they accomplished, and a checklist as to whether they held up to the commitments made to voters when first elected. Those seeking office have presented their views, opinions, and ideas as to why they are the best choices to serve in the offices to be filled. The avalanche of bumper stickers, ads, speeches, and signs has placed all their arguments on the public table. For the Senate and congressional races, these are fellow Kentuckians. Maybe not well known personally, but just as surely peers of those who will cast votes. The decision here could change the balance of power in the halls of the U.S. Congress. For the state races, these are also peers. Some are even neighbors and better known personally. The decision here could have an impact not only statewide, but make a difference in Meade County’s ability to get its fair share of state benefits. For the local races, these are indeed peers. In many cases, they are neighbors or friends. The decisions of those chosen locally will not only affect those who voted, but the successful candidate as well. These are people who pay the same taxes, drive the same roads, and depend on the same local governmental services as everyone else. But, as in a trial by jury, personal feelings must not get in the way of making the right choice. Sometimes the closest friend may not be the best choice for the job. When a decision like that is made, it is a difficult one for friendship is a sacred trust. But, that is the glory of our system. No one ever knows how a voter marks their ballot. It has never been more important that the voters search themselves and their conscious about who are the right people for these offices. These are not times for the faint-hearted, the lazy, the uninformed, the placeholder, the puppet, the power seeker, or the party boss. This is the time voters must find from among themselves those who can bring to the offices they seek honesty, honor, devotion, creativity, curiosity, courage, and the ability to think outside the box. On Tuesday, the “jury” is being called upon to make some serious and difficult decisions. This is not the time to choose the right friend, the right neighbor, or the right party. It is time to choose the right people. So, cast your vote on Tuesday. Do so with much thought and prayer. This time, more than ever, the “jury” needs to be sure of its verdict. Because in this instance, the verdict doesn’t just affect the “accused.” It affects the jury themselves.

FAITH & VALUES

The News Standard - A5

Learn from your parents’ mistakes Dan Newton Divine Guidance Proverbs 1: 8 says, “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching.“ (HCSB) Why should we listen to our parents? Especially as

we grow older, we might think this proverb no longer applies to us. However, listening to our parents’ teaching is a way of honoring them, and numerous passages in the Bible connect honoring our parents with living a long and blessed life. (see Exodus 20:12) This naturally raises questions about how God connects longevity with parental honor. When we honor our par-

ents by listening to them, we gain wisdom to avoid the hard lessons our parents had to learn. Even more, we have an amazing chance to develop a positive view of aging. If we respect our parents, we are more likely to embrace our own process of aging as a blessing. As your parents give you advice, put yourself in their position. When you are their age, would you rather be

treated as a constant burden or respected as a blessing to the family? 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.

Don’t sweat the small things in life Randy Johnson Pastor’s Spotlight

A missionary was assigned to some remote islands in the Paciﬁc. After three months, he sent a letter to mission headquarters: “I’m being plagued by rats. What

shall I do?” his letter said. Soon a crate arrived, ﬁlled with rat traps. However, hardly a month later the missionary sent a second letter to headquarters: “The rats won’t take the bait, what shall I do?” Not long after, a second crate arrived, ﬁlled with rat poison. However, hardly another month passed, when the missionary found it necessary to send a third letter

to headquarters. “The rats won’t touch the poison. Do you have any other suggestion?” he asked. Soon he received a letter from mission headquarters which said: “We suggest you get used to the rats.” Sad to say there are some things in life, try as we might, we can do little about. Instead of worrying over them and letting it get us down, take the advice of

People don’t equate faith with facts, but rather with confidence David Yount Amazing Grace In the first-ever national test of Americans’ knowledge of religion, churchgoing Christians were beaten by atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons. In a separate survey, twothirds of Americans said that religion is losing its influence on American life. Both polls were sponsored by the respected Pew Foundation, which affirms that Americans nevertheless remain a deeply religious people. The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life surveyed more than 3,400 Americans, posing 32 questions to test their knowledge of the Bible, Christianity and other world religions. The average respondent answered only half the questions correctly. As Laurie Goodstein notes in The New York Times of Sept. 28, “many

flubbed even questions about their own faith.” Goodstein asked Dave Silverman, president of American Atheists, for his assessment of the findings. “I have heard many times that atheists know more about religion than religious people,” Silverman replied. “Atheism is an effect of that knowledge, not a lack of knowledge. I gave a Bible to my daughter. That’s how you make atheists.” According to the Times, the multiple-choice questions included: Where was Jesus born? What is Ramadan? Whose writings inspired the Protestant Reformation? What biblical figure led the exodus from Egypt? What religion is the Dalai Lama? Joseph Smith? Mother Teresa? Among churchgoing Christians, white evangelical Protestants scored highest on questions about the Bible and Christianity. Goodstein predicts that clergy “will no doubt be appalled” by respondents’ ignorance of some basic facts of

faith. For example, 53 percent of Protestants were unable to identify Martin Luther’s role in launching the Protestant Reformation. Some 45 percent of Roman Catholics did not know that their church teaches that the consecrated bread and wine are more than just symbols of Christ’s presence in holy communion, but are Jesus’ body and blood. On the brighter side, fully 82 percent of all respondents correctly identified Mother Teresa as Roman Catholic. My own experience with people of faith persuades me that believers do not equate faith with facts, but rather with confidence in God and commitment to him. An active faith is one that has consequences. Or, as a popular bumper sticker claims, “You are what you do.” (David Yount is author of 14 books, including “Making a Success of Marriage” (Rowman and Littlefield). He answers readers at P.O. Box 2758, Woodbridge, VA 22195 and dyount31(at)verizon.net.)

NEWS GOP gets fired up at rally Town

From page A1

THE NEWS STANDARD/BRIAN GRAVES

Republican candidates sign pledges not to raise taxes and to petition the state legislature to require the oversight of the actions of independent taxing boards. Pictured from left: State Representative candidate Dalton Jantzen, magistrate candidates Steve Wardrip, Tom Goddard, Gale Delano, Mitch Shortt, Debra Masterson, Judge/Executive candidiate Gerry Lynn, and magistrate candidate Gary Chapman. By Brian Graves The News Standard The motto on the yellow flag seen in the audience expressed the feelings: “Don’t tread on me.” That was the theme as Republicans gathered at the Meade County VFW last Thursday for a rally that emphasized their passion for lower taxes and less intrusive government. Many of the local GOP candidates attended and after the rally signed two pledges. One was a pledge they would take no action to raise taxes and the other was a pledge to petition Frankfort to change the laws allowing independent boards to set their own tax rates without oversight from the Fiscal Court. A crowd estimated at 100 filled the parking lot and heard from two speakers rallying the conservative base of Meade County. Joel Schrader, a former CIA intelligence officer who now campaigns for U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, began the program recognizing all of the GOP candidates and expressing the conservative stands the party represents. “Are you taxed enough, Meade County?” Schrader began his remarks. “Have you had a little too much government in your life lately? Then you’ve come to the right place at the right time because Meade County has a full slate of candidates that share your values this year.”

Schrader ran through the Republican list of candidates espousing their attributes for the offices they seek. He made special note of the sheriff’s race four years ago when encouraging the audience to vote. “Everybody in every election is always going to here the phrase, ‘Well, my vote doesn’t matter.’ Anytime somebody tells you their vote is not important, grab them by the arm and take them to meet Butch Kerrick,” Schrader said referring to Kerrick’s one-vote margin of victory in 2006. “He has brought a level of professionalism to the Meade County sheriff’s office that has not been seen before,” Schrader said. “All of these races are linked to each other and every race is crucial,” Schrader said. Schrader also issued a call to “elect more conservative judges, more pro-life judges, more 2nd Amendment judges, and being an NRA member doesn’t hurt either.” He described County Attorney Margaret Matney as “a little like a Jack Russell that’s been drinking Red Bull” and praised her for treating citizens “with respect.” Schrader called jailer candidate Darryl Haynes “one of the most driven people I’ve ever met.” “He’s on a mission to improve the Meade County Jail,” Schrader said. “When Darryl Hanes is the jailer, you’re going to see the inmates working

on the sides of the road and it’s not going to be at election time. It’ll be all the time.” County Judge/Executive candidate Gerry Lynn also got a mention from Schrader. “Gerry served as your representative in Frankfort and he knows how the process works,” Schrader said. “He understands what it means and what the need is to lower your taxes and create jobs to build the tax base in Meade County.” He also went through the list of magistrate candidates endorsing them and saying they would all be strong opponents of any tax increases. Speaking of taxes, Schrader said no one was opposed to paying taxes. “We want those taxes to be used by the government to do the things they’re supposed to do and what they should be doing and not wasting our money,” Schrader said. Dalton Jantzen, candidate for state representative, finished off the rally with a rousing call to action for the GOP faithful. “We’re doing what we’re supposed to do — coming out in support of our candidates and in support of our cause,” Jantzen said. “I’ve had enough and I can’t take it anymore,” he continued. “I woke up this January and saw my paycheck was disappearing before my eyes. And, there’s not any results from my paycheck disappearing.”

County High School Auditorium. Republican County Judge/Executive candidate Gerry Lynn went solo for his race when Democrat Becky Flaherty did not attend. The two had attended a forum earlier in the day at the Meade County Chamber of Commerce luncheon. (See related story this issue.) In the race for sheriff, incumbent Republican William “Butch” Kerrick joined his independent opponent, Nate Lahue for the question period. Webster announced Democrat Cliff Wise was not attending due to his wife’s illness. Ten of the 12 magistrate candidates went to the stage and found general agreement on the three issues presented to them. There was a unanimous consent to not raise taxes. Only Magistrate Herbert Chism deviated from his fellow candidates’ expressions of certainty. “No,” Chism responded, “unless that’s the only way to keep from cutting services.” The group was also seemingly in one accord when the issue of economic development was raised. All agreed there needed to be incentives offered in some way to new business and some suggested they be offered to current businesses. Candidate Gary Chapman suggested current county ordinances might be getting in the way of economic expansion. “The next Fiscal Court needs to make sure everyone understands Meade County is open for business,” Chapman

said. “Another thing is if you’ve attended Fiscal Court over the last year or so like I’ve done, you see over and over again where we have ordinances that are not businessfriendly and encourage people to go elsewhere to invest their money.” When magistrate candidates were questioned about the possibility of joining the Riverport Authority and the Meade County/Brandenburg Industrial Agency, the group was again unanimous in voicing the opinion the idea could be more productive than the current setup. “I do think it would be beneficial for the Riverport Authority and the Industrial Authority to combine,” said magistrate candidate Debra Masterson. “For too many years, they have both gone their own way it’s time for them to come together and do something else.” The race for county attorney was the most contentious moment of the evening. Democratic challenger Jessica Brown Roberts went after incumbent Margaret Matney’s record, especially on the department’s child support enforcement. “The child support office is doing a fantastic job,” Matney said. “We’ve increased collections and enforcement tremendously. We received outstanding service awards in 2009 and we learned we have received another one (for 2010) last night. Ultimately, I think it reflects leadership. This is the first time Meade County has received these awards in more than a decade and the first time Meade County has received two awards consecutively.” Roberts directly disputed Matney’s positive

take on the department. “From 1999 to 2001 in the prior administration, there were 114 felony support cases presented by the Meade County child support enforcement to the commonwealth attorney’s office for prosecution,” Roberts said. “During the first three years of the current administration, that number has gone down to half. The full list of candidates and the offices for which they are running who attended included Dalton Jantzen (R), state representative; Gerry Lynn (R), judge/ executive; Jessica Brown Roberts (D), county attorney; Margaret Matney (R), county attorney; William “Butch” Kerrick (R), sheriff; Nate Lahue (I), sheriff; Troy Seelye (D), jailer; Carlton “Daryl” Haynes (R), jailer; Chris Cottrell (D) and Thomas Goddard (I), 1st district magistrate; Herbert Chism (D) and Mitch Shortt (R), 2nd district magistrate; Gale Delano, 3rd district magistrate; Gary Chapman (R), 4th district magistrate; Harold Davidson (D) and Steve Wardrip (R), 5th district magistrate; Randall Hardesty (D) and Debra Masterson (R), 6th district magistrate. Those not attending were Jeff Greer (D), state representative; Becky Flaherty (D), judge/executive; Cliff Wise (D), sheriff; Mark Hubbard (D), 3rd district magistrate; and Tony Staples, 4th district magistrate.

RE-ELECT WILLIAM “BUTCH” KERRICK SHERIFF “Tis the Season of Politics,” CONTINUED...

I recently ran a campaign ad with the above headline, “Tis the Season of Politics”. I stated several “FACTS” in the ad, one of which stated: “Politicians” start out focusing on the issues, until they have bored you, the voter to death. Promised not to “mudsling”, only to get down to the end of the election, and the “Politician” either gets “DESPERATE”, or “BORED”, and starts to “BASH” their opponent. I have run my campaign with dignity, tact, and professionalism. The same way I have run your Sheriff’s department for the past three and half years. I have continued to state the “FACTs”, and only the ”FACTS”, of my accomplishments as your Sheriff of Meade County. I do not feel that I have to “bash” my opponents in order to get your vote. We are all tired of the “dirty politics” that we all have to endure. I have been basically called a “LIAR” by two of my opponent’s supporters. My integrity has been questioned, and my service as your Sheriff has been challenged. I call this “dirty politics”. I have often stated that I am not a “Politician”, I am a career Law Enforcement Ofﬁcer, and my record as a Law Enforcement Ofﬁcer, is unblemished, and shows my lifelong commitment to serving the citizens, I was sworn to protect. I am a Christian, and I do believe in GOD. I believe that you do your job, and you treat people the way you want to be treated. Rather I win or lose my bid for re-election as your Sheriff, I feel that I have done my duty, served the citizens of Meade County, and I have done the job you elected me to do. “Dirty Politics” will never make me hang my head low in shame, I know who I am as a person, and I will always hold my head high. There are truly two sides to every story, and disgruntled past employee’s will never state the “whole story”. I feel that the citizens of Meade County are more informed as voters than ever before. They can tell “dirty politics” when they see, or read about them. If you as a voter want a Sheriff that has committed his entire career to enforcing the law and serving the people he was sworn to protect, then vote for me. If you want a Sheriff that is a “Politician”, then vote for one of my opponents. The choice is yours. If re-elected, the commitment I make to you the citizens of Meade County, is to continue to serve and protect you, as your Sheriff, with the same integrity, professionalism, and respect, that I have shown you, the citizens of Meade County for the past three and half years. I, William “Butch” Kerrick, ask the citizens of Meade County to put your faith, hope, and trust, in me once again, as your Sheriff for another term, as you did four years ago.

RE-ELECT WILLIAM “BUTCH” KERRICK

Tuesday November 2, is general election day in Meade County. I ask all citizens of Meade County to come out and exercise your freedom and right to vote. I for one know how important it is for all citizens to vote, and every vote really does count. I have had the privilege of serving as your Sheriff for the past three and half years. I am seeking re-election for my second term for the ofﬁce of Sheriff. I hope that you, the citizens of Meade County, feel that myself, and my department have served you with fairness, integrity, and professionalism.

I have implemented several changes during my term as your Sheriff with significant results in protecting the citizens of Meade County against crime. We have had great success in our ongoing war against the drug problem that we all face in our community. We have collected your taxes with fairness and accuracy. Started several inventory and auditing systems to check our work, and have been fiscally responsible with your tax dollars. I promise to continue the fight against crime and drugs in our community, by enforcing the law no matter who you are. There is no place for “Politics” in enforcing the law, and my department will continue to enforce the law, in the manner you have been accustomed to for the past three and half years. For the first time in the history of the Meade County Sheriff’s department, we now have the most qualified, experienced, and professional officers protecting us. Do not let the Sheriff’s department go back to being operated the way it had been for the past 29 years, prior to my term as you Sheriff. Your vote for my re-election as your Sheriff, will be my evaluation, by you, the citizens of Meade County, of your approval and support, of the job that myself and my department have done for you. I ran my previous campaign with the slogan “It’s Time for a Change”. I promised to change the Sheriff’s department, and that I have done. I hope that you, the citizens of Meade County feel that I have done the job you elected me to do, and re-elect me as your Sheriff, so we can continue to do the job we started. I am a “Full-Time” Sheriff, with no outside business interests to take away my time of doing the job you elected me to do. I, William “Butch” Kerrick, humbly ask for your vote in my effort for re-election as your Sheriff of Meade County. Paid for by William “Butch” Kerrick for Meade County Sheriff

A10 - The News Standard

Debate From page A1 for many years until I served as a coordinator for St. Theresa Catholic Church in Rhodelia. I was then hired as a pastoral associate for interparish ministries which meant I worked for the four Catholic Churches in Meade County,” Flaherty said. “I worked at St. Joseph’s in Corydon as director of religious education until 1999 when I began the job I hold now at St. Mary Madelen in Payneville, which is part-time church secretary. I have been actively involved in community service for 35 years.” The two candidates then began fielding a total of eight questions over the next half-hour. The following are the questions and the candidates’ responses: QUESTION 1: What are your plans to promote economic development in Meade County? Please be specific. Flaherty: “I would like to see us have a whole strategic plan in place by inviting members…the industrial development director, member of the infrastructure, telephone, the Chamber, as well as our youth. Bring people to the table. We need a strategic plan and I am willing to work as hard as I can to help bring that about.” Lynn: “Economic development starts right here with the existing businesses being able to expand and grow. We need to put together a comprehensive economic development strategy. That strategy will map out exactly where we want to go and how we want to go there. The economics start (with small business) and will grow from here. The business portion entails bringing businesses in being business-friendly. Without business-friendly on the administration side of the courthouse and in taxes, (businesses) won’t come if it’s not a friendly environment.” QUESTION 2: What do you think about Meade County’s nuisance ordinance? Lynn: “It’s a good thing and I think we need to put it in place. We need a codes enforcement officer that will be able to work with the various agencies. I think all of us realize there

News

are things in the county that needs to be cleaned up properly. It’s to our benefit…this fits into our economic plan. It drives everything. With us going with mandatory garbage pickup some years ago, you’ve seen right there a prime example of what it’s done to our county versus some of the other counties that do not have this in place. It’s essential for us to grow and prosper. It’s important we pass (the ordinance).” Flaherty: “I agree with Mr. Lynn. I think the hiring of a codes enforcement officer is essential and it needs to be more than words that come out of my mouth. Also, some companies have said they don’t want to come to Meade County because of the eyesores and that has been told to me by these people.” QUESTION 3: I have read in the newspaper developers are having problems being able to get road approval even after doing all that is required. What will you do to help this process move along easier to help and allow for continued growth? Flaherty: “First of all, I think it would depend on who made the statement whether Meade County is following the letter of the law. Ordinances are in place. Rules have been obeyed. Our county road department manager does go out and inspect those. He makes the decision and I as county judge/executive would need to stand behind him.” Lynn: “The county road ordinance is one small portion of what it takes to expand the economy with our investors who go out and buy a piece of property. They buy a piece of property and invest their money and our road ordinance is something they live by. It’s a coordination effort between the developer and our road department crew. It needs to be handled where both parties understand up front what it takes to make it (within the ordinance). A lot of it is coordination between departments the county judge has under his hat.” QUESTION 4: Much of the tax burden has been caused by a myriad of special districts and boards created by county government that operate outside the purview of Fiscal Court. Do you have any plans to address that issue going forward?

Lynn: “I’ve looked into that because it’s concerned me — the various boards and their ability to tax. The Kentucky statutes basically allow this. The library board controls theirs, the school board controls theirs, and the extension office controls theirs. I would like to see (it changed), but it would have to change on the state level that the Fiscal Court would have the final say.” Flaherty: “I think our tax rate is comparable to other counties. Kudos to the current judge. Taxes have been held at the same amount for the last five years. The best I can say is we can revisit and see what can be cut out of the budget. Our taxes are set and determined by the state. We don’t have to follow or adopt their recommendation. There’s a lot said about lowering taxes. My response to that is the same as Judge Craycroft’s was. What services will be cut? I’m not willing to give a call to 911 and not have an operator ask for an ambulance.” QUESTION 5: Concerning the comprehensive plan developed by Judge Craycroft and the current Fiscal Court, how do you plan to utilize the plan to attract business or improve existing businesses in Meade County? Flaherty: “The plan has laid out specific areas along the highway extension that are designated for development. Not just business wise, it also discusses the workforce of skilled workers. We are competing with people locally and that is also included in the comprehensive plan. It’s essential that plan is not just talked about, but brought out on the table, looked at and put into action. Very little has been done to move forward with that plan.” Lynn: “I served on the committee that put that together. It’s like a road map and it looks into the future. What we set up there was this is where we want residential development, this is where we want commercial development, and this is where we want light industry. All of this ties in together as a theme that we all bind as a community. That’s why we live here. We live here because we like the bedroom community, we like the farm life atmosphere. This comprehensive plan puts it all together. There are grants that are tied directly to the

termined jobless rates for the state were 10.1 percent last month, according to the release. In August, the OET determined the state jobless rate was 10 percent. The seasonally adjusted jobless rate for the U.S. remained steady at 9.6 percent for September. Despite the slight rise in jobless rates, OET said certain employment sectors no-

ticed an influx of jobs for the month. Leisure and hospitality jobs in the state saw an increase of 3,100 positions last month. These jobs include arts, entertainment and recreation, accommodations and food and drink services. Trade, transportation and utilities, which is the largest sector in the state, also saw a increase of 1,600 jobs in September.

comprehensive plan. Without it in place, you can’t get grants.” QUESTION 6: Are you willing to make an unpopular decision even if it affects your re-election? Lynn: “Yes. I’m going to do what’s right for the citizens regardless of pressures from certain groups. It has to be what’s best for all county citizens. What affects us today and what we do today decides what kind of life we’re establishing for our kids and grandkids down the road. That’s the most important thing today.” Flaherty: “That’s easy for me to answer. I don’t see myself continuing in this position if I was elected. So, I wouldn’t have the pressure of continuing on in this job. I’d be more than willing to stand up for our citizens because, as I said in the primary, that’s the only promise I would make. I would put what’s best for our citizens at the forefront of decision making.” QUESTION 7: Is there a systemic problem dividing

responsibility for economic development planning and execution with the Meade County/Brandenburg Industrial Authority and the Riverport Authority? Flaherty: “I do see a problem. If we were to write a strategic business plan for our county and put in a steering committee to include the director of our industrial authority, to include the movers and the shakers, to include someone from our educational system, work with Lincoln Trail, I think that would put us on the right road.” Lynn: “There are two different things here. The industrial board’s main purpose is to grow economics. The Riverport is a business. These things working together will create more industry as it comes down the road. Without their cooperation together, that portion of it is just not feasible. We have in place what it takes. It’s just a matter of us to continue that road and push the industrial board to further their development.”

QUESTION 8: Are you going to keep the current Fiscal Court staff? Lynn: “Yes. I think the staff serves all the citizens quite well. From what I’ve understood, they are hardworking individuals and they know the ins and outs of the Fiscal Court system and the day-to-day operation. There are 120 employees and the county needs to be run like a business. These employees have done a good job. Unless there’s a reason they need to be replaced, but not at the offset.” Flaherty: “I am in definite agreement. To go in and fire the staff just because you’re the new kid on the block would be like taking a gun and shooting yourself in the foot. They know how that office operates. And, I am making a commitment, I have made it to myself, to visit all county departments — not to check to see what they’re doing, but I want to know how things are going and what I can do in the judge’s office to make it run smoother.”

RE-ELECT Jeff Greer for State Representative This is a message to all the voters in the 27th District, especially the SENIOR CITIZENS. I am Mary Greer (Jeff Greer’s mother) and I am a senior citizen. I am very concerned about our much needed Social Security and Medicare programs which are in great danger for our seniors. Since Jeff was a child, he has had a great love and respect for the older folks. I know if we keep Jeff Greer as our State Representative, he will fight to keep Social Security and Medicare for all seniors. He will not vote to privatize these much needed programs.

To all you young voters:

Please think of your parents and grandparents future when you vote on Nov. 2 . . . Vote Jeff Greer.

Help keep Jeff Greer as State Representative. MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!

Thank you, Mary Greer

Trying austerity on for size

DOLLARS AND SENSE by David Uffington

THE NEWS STANDARD/BRIAN GRAVES

TOP: Jamie Stevenson does does some engine work at Competition Automotive Machine in Brandenburg. ABOVE: Matt McCullough shows the CNC, or computer numeric control, which is used to duplicate engine parts.

Business is ‘vroooming’ By Brian Graves The News Standard Competition Automotive Machine has only been in Brandenburg since July, but it’s a place that stays as constant as the engines they work on. “We have at least four weeks of work ahead of us now,” said Matt McCullough, one of the five who work at the shop on Armory Place. The business itself has been open for four years, but the move was made to accomodate the space needed by both equipment and work. “We’re a full automotive machine shop,” Mc-

Cullough said. “We do everything from stock rebuild engines to full-on, very high end race stuff. We do a little bit of everything of it has to do with an engine.” He said one of the engines they are working on now is a 1950s Army Jeep And, they have proven their expertise by the number of customers they have attracted. “If somebody brings something in, we are two to four weeks behind and that’s runnning wide open,” McCullough said. The staff all share a passion for cars and racing. One of them, Aaron Eskridge, has already been a

champion in Thunderstock racing at Whitesville. The shop stays constant with technology and has a CNC, a computer nuemeric control, which can duplicate any piece needed. Duane Flood, who runs the CNC, has been working with that technology for 20 years. McCullough said the team is also able to help the normal car owner with engine problems. The shop is located at 1923 Armory Place and is open Monday though Friday 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. until noon. They can be reached by phone at 270-422-7277.

If you’re one of the lucky ones who’ve managed to move through the current economic crisis unscathed, your outlook is no doubt brighter than those who have been hit hard by layoffs, foreclosures and more. This is not the time to relax about the economy and your personal finances, however — because the problems are not over. Whatever you have in savings for a rainy day or emergency, double it. Aim for a minimum of nine months of living expenses that you can get your hands on quickly, which means savings or money-market accounts. Do a bare-bones budget and see what it looks like. Consider various options. In one you might subtract only the daily cappuccino from your expenses. In another not only do you stop

getting cappuccino but you also cancel your book-club membership and decide to wear last year’s winter coat. Perhaps you decide to go all the way and stop eating at restaurants, having carryout delivered and buying prime cuts at the butcher. Even if you’re doing well so far in this ragged economy, you owe it to yourself to see what an austerity budget really looks like. If you’ve never used coupons or paid attention to sales flyers in the newspaper, start now. Spend more time saving money. Pay down debt. While new laws have been passed to restrict the credit-card companies, credit-card debt still comes with a price tag in the form of interest and fees. Spend your money on necessities that have a future value, like vehicle tires. Decide if you really need a new television, or if you just want it.

Consider what you would do for income should you lose your job. Find out how much unemployment benefits would be in your area and how long you’d get them. Calculate how much of your current bills you actually could pay each month. Add in your savings and re-do the math: How long could you survive on a lower budget? Vow to spend only on necessities for one month to see what it feels like. If you need encouragement to take some austerity steps, attend a job fair and talk to job seekers. Because it really isn’t over. David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

Cliff Wise, Sheriff Of all the issues addressed during this campaign, one that has not received the attention it deserves is the future of our youth. Parents and grandparents alike want to see their children grow, be educated, and learn to make proper choices. During my previous term, I made certain that the D.A.R.E program remained intact. I initiated the school resource officer program. From rearing my own family I understand parent’s fears of a child becoming involved with illegal drugs. I understand that parents cannot keep constant watch upon maturing children, but hope we have helped them develop an understanding as to how decisions made in life can have a lasting impact on their future. Drug dealers prey upon our children for profit. They have no feeling for the kids they get “hooked,” they are only interested in the money it generates for themselves. To combat this, we need to explore every avenue available to gather resources for the war against drugs. Our Sheriff’s Department worked with the Kentucky State Police drug task force during my previous term and had a high success rate in drug related arrests. We will again become a part of that program if I am elected. With the approval of the school system we will expand our role in drug abuse prevention. Regardless of our political affiliations we do have a common goal; the welfare of our youth and the assurance of a drug free future for them. Give us the opportunity to detect, arrest, and press for conviction those people who are preying upon our children.

AGRICULTURE Weather conditions, poor hay causes worries about cows

Friday, October 29, 2010

A12- The News Standard

Andy Mills Ag & Natural Resources I have already written a few articles about the area’s hay situation and its quality as it relates to your cow’s nutritional needs. I still don’t think people realize the implications of feeding poor quality hay. It is not just about making

it through the winter. Beef producers need to think ahead to the calving and breeding season There are all kinds of research from several different universities that support the fact that cows losing weight or in less than desirable body condition have reproductive problems. Cows in decline have more calving problems, more calf death loss, unhealthier calves due to poorer quality colostrum, and have a dramatic de-

crease in conception rate for the upcoming breeding season, With today’s feeder calf prices, just losing one calf and having one open cow can cost a producer nearly $1,000 in gross sales. One thousand dollars will go a long way in buying some commodity feeds to feed along with poor quality hay. Table 1 shows the nutritional needs of a mature cow and a two year old pregnant heifer. Table 2 shows the nutritional anal-

ysis of different feeds that most people will be feeding. TDN is a measurement used for energy. In most cases, the energy requirement should be met first. Compare the two and see how your cows will fare. Table 1: Nutritional Requirements for a dry pregnant cow — last third of pregnancy: Body weight 1,000 lbs.; dry matter intake, 19.6 lbs.; percent crude protein, 7.9; percent TDN, 53.2

Members met to pay their dues, share a rib eye steak meal prepared and served by local Cattleman’s and 4-H members and were also caught up on the club’s actions and events from the past year, including educational promotions and sponsorships.

Over the past twelve months, the Cattleman’s Association participated in various events, including donating two heifers to the Dustin Worthington Memorial “I Love Cows” essay contest, cooked steaks and purchased steers and donated money to the youth auction at the Meade County Fair. The group also awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Jessica Morgan. At the meeting, members heard from Southern States feed technician Al Holthaus, who spoke about taking steps to combat ad-

verse affects of the recent drought in local cattle. “We had an excellent turnout with a very interesting presentation by Southern States about winterizing our herds and supplemental feeding,” Meade County Cattleman’s Association President Kevin Stith said. He also thanked those helping with this year’s event. “I would like to thank the ladies and gentlemen who helped prepare the meal, including some of our members, as well as some of the 4-H members,” Stith said.

Payneville wins BBall Championship, B3 The News Standard

Lady Waves volleyball pillar signs with IUS appearances and won three district championships. It wasn’t a coincidence that she was one of the most important catalysts for the program, while the program cycled through four different coaching changes and graduating large senior classes every year. In the end, Filburn was a star player, team motivator and an on-the-court coach wrapped up in one. “The one thing we’re proud of more than anything,” Tiffany’s father Mark Filburn said. “Even as a little kid she was concerned about the other players. That’s continued on. She tries to help every kid. We’re really proud that she’s playing college volleyball, but as parents we’re

For the past ﬁve years, there have been two consistent things with the Meade County Lady Waves volleyball program: winning and Tiffany Filburn. That’s why Oct. 21 was such a bittersweet day for the program when Filburn signed a letter of intent to play for Indiana University Southeast volleyball team. “I’m so happy to see her go, but I’m also sad,” said second year Meade County head coach Jennifer Smith. “She’s taught me so much.” Filburn started as an eighth grader for the Lady Waves. Since then, the team had won 115 games, made ﬁve regional tournament

even more proud of the person she’s become.” With a caring heart on and off the court, her teammates showed their appreciation for their leader by wearing custom made shirts sporting her name. “Obviously she’s a good teammate,” Smith said. “All around, she’s an awesome kid. Her teammates love her. It’s going be pretty strange starting without her.” Tiffany started playing volleyball when she was in the third grade. She took a year off after moving to Meade County and then in middle school she played for the Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Academy (KIVA). See PILLAR, Page B3

Meade County football wins ﬁrst district championship in three years By Ben Achtabowski The News Standard

The Meade County Greenwave football team (5-4 overall and 3-1 district) broke a three-year District 2 Championship drought by mounting a 21-point, second half comeback to beat undefeated sixth-ranked Central Hardin Bruins, 28-20. “We told the kids this was for all the marbles,” Meade County head coach Larry Moﬁeld said, whose

team headed into the game with the second best record in the district. “It was a heck of a ﬁght, but we came out with all the marbles.” The comeback had much to do with the hobbled Greenwave junior quarterback Thomas Wilson, who sprinted for two touchdowns in the ﬁnal six minutes of the game. “I didn’t feel it then,” Thomas said who has been nursing an ankle injury since the second game of the season. “It hurts… it is hurt, but I’m

playing on it no matter what. It’s ﬁne really. I tweaked it every once and a while.” Wilson was seen limping in and out of the huddle all throughout the game, but during the fourth quarter he busted for an 80-yard run to take the lead 21-20 with 5:52 left in the game. Less than 4 minutes later, Wilson scored on a 34-yard naked boot to See TITLE, Page B2

John Miller breaks away for a long gain after one of his catches against JCTMS.

I’ve written this column in my mind several times during the last few weeks, but now when it comes to actually putting it down on paper, it’s harder than I thought. I’ve put it off long enough and now it’s the waning hours of my last day at the News Standard. I’m typically not a sentimental guy, but after staring at my blank walls of my office where my Michigan State flag used to hang alongside various Greenwave schedule posters, it’s hard not to think back at the more than two years I have spent here. That being said, this is officially my last The News Standard column and the last week I cover Meade County sports. By the time you read this I’ll be on my way to the East Coast. I have accepted a job in Philadelphia for a Web site called The Sport Network. It’s an opportunity for me to cover professional and college sports and further my career in the world of sports journalism. I give all the credit of this professional leap to the Meade County community and The News Standard. Nearly two and a half years ago, I had the hard — really it wasn’t so hard — choice between a small paper in a post-Katrina ravaged town on the coast of Louisiana, a paper in the middle of a corn field in Iowa and a small quaint river town named Brandenburg. At first glance, I was a bit worried about Brandenburg. Of course, it was a week removed from a tornado strike — ironically during my last week here, the county was attacked by tornadoproducing storms. The town was small and pretty homogenous … far from the Flint area of Michigan where I grew up. But I took the job and didn’t look back. My journey to the northern edge of the South led

Title From page B1 the right side of the field that extended the lead to eight, 28-20. “You never dream to be in that situation. Sure, I wish I would have told Thomas to down it,” Mofield said. “But when I was in high school and I had a chance to score I would have, too. I was hoping we would just move the chains. But, then he had an outstanding effort.” The clock became the enemy of the night, however, with more than a minute and a half left in the game, Central Hardin got the ball near midfield. The Bruins drove the ball to the 18-yard line where a third-and-3 pass attempt was intercepted by sophomore linebacker Sean Graham to essentially end the game. “I tell you what, that was one of the biggest interceptions,” Mofield said. “That bailed me out too. I was making bad calls and putting our kids in a hole all night long.” The Meade County defense held the Bruins to 287 total yards and forced four turnovers. Two of the interceptions came from junior linebacker Brady Smith. Smith returned his second interception of the night for a 35-year touchdown for the game’s first score of the night with 27 seconds left in the first quarter. “It’s awesome seeing all that green,” Smith said, whose pick-six gave the Greenwave an early 7-0 lead. “You just run as fast as you can to the end zone.” “We had a great scheme,” he added “I saw it all the way — both the picks. I just read the quarterback’s eyes … he was staring right at (his receiver).” Despite getting three first half turnovers from the defense, the Meade County offense struggled to find the end zone where they stalled twice inside Central Hardin’s 20-yard line and threw one interception. “I thought we shot ourselves in the foot a ton tonight,” Wilson said. “We only had seven first half points and they were all from our defense. I think we had some drives stalled on penalties. It just seemed like we were playing them and ourselves.” Central Hardin tied the game at seven with 11 seconds left in the opening half when quarterback Kevin Humphrey found Tyran Hopson for a 6-yard touchdown pass. The Bruins broke the tie, 10-7, 8 minutes into the sec-

ond half when senior kicker John Wallace hit a 27-yard field goal. Central Hardin took what seemed to be a commanding 17-7 lead after a fumbled exchange between Wilson and senior running back Rex Liverman. Central Hardin’s Russ Morsel scooped the ball up for a 15-yard waltz into the end zone with 4 minutes left in the third quarter. During the fourth quarter, Meade County went on a 21-3 scoring barrage. “We came back and fought like crazy,” Wilson said. “I think we wanted to win more than they did. We never quit. We played all 48 minutes… against an 8-0 team, we knew that it was going to take all the 48 minutes.” Junior fullback Max Cundiff capped off an 11 play, 80yard drive when he dove into the end zone from 3 yards out, making the score 17-14. Cundiff ended the game with 74 yards on 17 carries. Central Hardin scored its final field goal, 20-14 of the night when Wallace hit a 40-yard field goal with 6:06 left to play in the game. The Meade County defense bend–but-not-break mentality held the Bruins to 50 yards in the final quarter where they had the ball inside the 20 yard line twice. “I was happy,” senior defensive end Brandon Simota said, who had a sack and several tackles for a loss. “I just do whatever I can do to get to the ball. This is my senior year and when I made those tackles it felt like I was doing my job. It feels good to accomplish something. I think we did that tonight.” Wilson went on to score the game’s final two touchdowns, while the Greenwave defense held in check one of the best backs in the area, Tristan Long, to only six yards rushing and 78 yards receiving. “He’s good,” Mofield said. “We’ve seen some good running backs and he’s just as good as any of them. He’s a jitterbug.” The Greenwave’s defensive line did most of the work, where the team had four sacks and six tackles for a loss. The defense forced three field goals and the Bruin offense was 3-for-11 on third down conversions. “It’s great because I’ll go in (for the tackle) and he’s already down. The defensive line already got him,” Cundiff said, who also plays linebacker for the Greenwave. “I don’t have to do anything. I love my defensive line, a lot of times they will save me. Sometimes I’ll be out of place and they’ll

Sports

save me from a good ripping by coach the next week.” Meade County outgained Central Hardin 342-287, including 330 yards on the ground. Wilson was the game’s leading scorer with 195 yards and two touchdowns. He was also 4-for-10 with 41 yards. Meade County started the season 1-4, but now has a 5-4 record and have won the past four games. That included three district wins to clinch the No. 1 seed in the state playoffs. “We were facing tough teams at the beginning,” Simota said. “That prepared us to be ready for these tough games. I think we did a good job at coming together as a team during those tough games.” Meade County opened the season with one of the state’s toughest schedules where they competed against Ballard, John Hardin and Fern Creek. “There’s a reason why we’re 1-4 and there’s a reason why we’re district champions,” Wilson said. “When we were 1-4 we were playing some of the best teams in the state. “It sounds awesome,” he added about being a district champion. “This is my third year playing on varsity and it means a lot. It means even more to see the seniors win this one. I love those guys. We wanted to come out and win it for them.” With the win and the district championship, Meade County will head into the state playoffs in two weeks with the No. 1 seed and a home playoff game. “It’s a big win for us and a big win for our program,” Mofield said. “I told the kids, ‘When you walk into that gym and see that football banner, you can tell your kids and wife that you were district champions. Some of you may fabricate how good you were, but that’s OK, just as long as that banner is up there.’” The only fabrication right now is at the local sign shop where they’ll be fabricating that 2010 Greenwave District Championship banner. The Greenwave will round out the regular season tonight with a home game against Butler High School. It’s also senior night with festivities starting before the 7:30 p.m. kick off.

Pillar From page B1 “That’s when I got really interested in it,” Filburn said. By eighth grade, she was starting on the varsity team. Heading into her senior year, she realized that the college level of volleyball was very feasible. “Last year, I started thinking about it,” she said about pursuing college volleyball. “Over the summer I went to a tournament in Owensboro. One of the coaches from Kentucky Wesleyan wanted to get in contact with me. After that, other schools started to pursue me.” Filburn finally decided to go with Indiana University Southeastern — a place close to home, but still gives her a big-campus feel. “I always wanted to go to a bigger school,” she said. “It’s a pretty big school without getting too big. It will be nice to go away and get the college experience while staying close to home.” The athletic Filburn family dabbled in almost every sports arena. Tiffany played basketball, volleyball, softball and even swimming during her youth. “We found out they didn’t

like swimming very quickly,” Filburn’s mother, Linda, said laughing. By the fifth grade, she become fully committed to volleyball — just like her older sister, Morgan. That’s when the family dove into volleyball headfirst. “We are definitely a volleyball family,” Mark said. “We didn’t push them to one sport or the other. They chose volleyball and that’s when we became a volleyball family.” Filburn actually played for two years with her older sister at Meade County High School and that became some of the most exciting years for the family. “Those were probably the best years for us,” Mark said. “That was really neat to see them out on the court together. Side by side on the front line together… that was a lot of fun.” Having an older sister on the team actually helped the Filburns make the choice to let Tiffany play on the varsity team. “That’s hard as a parent to put a girl in the varsity,” Linda said. “Her older sister was playing on the team too. That’s what helped us make the decision. I don’t know if I would have stuck her on the varsity team without having

Sports

Morgan there.” The two sisters helped the Lady Waves to a 51-13 record during their time together. “I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in their conversations during those years,” Linda said. “Tiffany is more laid back than Morgan. Tiffany told me that during an intense game Morgan would say ‘Whatever you do, don’t mess up.’ She said this big vein would pop out of her forehead and she would know (Morgan) was serious.” After Morgan graduated, Tiffany became one of the leaders of the Lady Waves team. She helped Meade County to two straight district championships and regional appearances. This past year, she led the team in nearly every statistical category. “I told my sister, ‘I hope I could have been at least as good as her,” Tiffany said. “She always told me she wanted me to be better. She wanted me to pursue college volleyball. She wishes she played college volleyball.” Now Tiffany will pursue that route at IUS, just like what her sister told her to do. “I’ve been blessed to play volleyball,” Tiffany said. “I’ve been blessed to play with my sister and now I’m blessed to play college volleyball.”

Farewell From page B1 me to the open arms of The News Standard and the community it reports on. Being so far away from Michigan, this quickly became my home away from home. I settled in and grew as a person probably more in these two years than I did at all during my previous five years in college. I put down my beer stein and traded it in for a new shiny bike and lifelong hobby (I even lost some of my freshmen 25 … err more like 35). I’ve become more humble and understanding of the world around me, I found that sometimes it’s OK that sports is everything (especially when it’s your job) and I learned that I’m not the greatest writer, the greatest photographer or the greatest page designer. Instead, I learned how hard it is to become the greatest writer, photographer and designer and that I am still a long way from it. Most of all I’ve made life-long friends here; some I would have never guessed would be a part of my life. Meanwhile, the weather here continued to play tricks with me as the first year I experienced earthquakes, sweltering heat, ice storms, droughts, floods, hurricane winds and I’m still waiting for

a volcano to emerge from my back yard. Despite the weather ’s shortcomings, I fell in love with the community I reported on. While covering Meade County sports I wanted to keep a level head and remain unbiased. But, I would be lying if I wasn’t pulling for them every inch of the way. That’s what Meade County does. It pulls you in, consumes you and without even blinking you find yourself chanting ‘M… C... H… S.’ I’d never heard of a Greenwave before coming here. Now, I can sing the fight song and I have various Greenwave shirts I’ll be displaying in Philly. But I wouldn’t be like this if it wasn’t for the people who wear the Greenwave colors with pride. The coaches here are class acts and I really mean it. There’s really no incentive for me to butter them up anymore… it’s just the truth. They have made themselves accessible, gave me great quotes and most of all given me great teams to write about. And of course, I can’t forget the Meade County athletes, that’s why I’m here. Without them I’d be nothing — I literally would have nothing to write about. Meade County athletes are what sports are all about. They transcend the games they play and use it as a life learning tool. And

that’s what sports are all about. It has been amazing to watch the kids grow up before my eyes, see them become polished athletes and even better human beings … and yes, saying that makes me feel old. Most of all I want to thank The News Standard publisher Sue Cummings and general manager Charlotte Fackler. While the newspaper business seems to be spiraling downward, this paper has fought the current. The dedication of the owner and the employees here have made a successful, award-winning product. I thank them for taking a chance on a wide-eyed Yankee from Michigan and giving him the reigns of the sports section. I’ve learned so much about the newspaper business here and life in general. Because of them, I’ve grown into the writer I am now and more so the person I am now. What they have given me is more than just a paycheck and a job and I can’t say thank you enough. In the end, my goal when I took this job was to create a sports page that would serve as memory for you, your children, your grandchildren’s athletic career at Meade County. I only hope I was able to add to your memory books because Greenwave nation has certainly added to mine, and I thank you for that. Go big Green!

Meade County Redskins start season 6-0

Submitted Photo

The Meade County youth football league is underway. The league is made available for kids from grades fourth through sixth. The Redskins are undefeated with six wins this season.

After reading a local campaign ad published by the current sheriff of Meade County, I felt obligated to submit this letter to the editor to inform the public of the actual events that took place. He chose to use an event concerning a discrimination lawsuit that affected me both personally and professionally. In 2006, I was hired by the Meade County Sheriff’s Department by Cliff Wise. I enjoyed my job and enjoyed working in Meade County. I learned a lot from this department and felt I could do this job to the best of my ability. I intended to spend my whole career in law enforcement working for the sheriff’s department. However, in 2007 a new sheriff took office. It was clear from the beginning that my career with the sheriff’s office would be short lived. On numerous occasions, I was disciplined for reasons I’m still not sure of today. Instructions on how to perform my job would constantly change, leaving me uncertain of my decision making while working. I no longer felt confident in this department, nor confident performing my job. It reached a point where I decided to leave and filing a discrimination suit against the Meade County Sheriff’s Office was not even an option I was interested in pursuing at that time. I was hired on with the Muldraugh Police Department and thought I could still work in Meade County, but the sheriff still harassed me, filed complaints on me with my superiors, and continued to make it hard for me to perform by duties. It reached a point where the only thing that would stop the harassment was a civil lawsuit. In June 2008, I did file a discrimination lawsuit against the current sheriff of Meade County. This was an action I really did not want to take because I know it could affect the county as a whole, but I was left no other avenue out. In his article, one statement he made was truthful in a fact: There are two sides to every story. He said neither he, nor the county paid any sum in this lawsuit. What he failed to mention is that the insurance company KACO, who insures Meade County Government, did indeed pay a settlement in agreement to dissolve the discrimination suit. I only wanted to put these events behind me, but I felt obligated to defend myself once again. I hope I can now put this to rest and move on.

November rabbit season should prove to be plentiful for hunters Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department FRANKFORT — Small game hunters should find good conditions afield and plenty of rabbits when hunting starts on Nov. 1st in central and eastern Kentucky.   “The highest number of rabbits observed was in central Kentucky, followed by eastern Kentucky,” said Ben Robinson, small game biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “The drought has dried up cover, as if it had been killed back by frost, so hunting conditions should be easier.”   Rabbit and quail season this year for the central and eastern part of Kentucky runs from Nov. 1 through Nov. 12 and closes for the opening weekend of modern gun deer season. The season opens again in this part of the state on Nov. 15 and runs through Jan. 31, 2011.  Rabbit and quail season opens Nov. 15 and closes Feb. 10, 2011 in the following western Kentucky counties: Allen, Ballard, Butler, Caldwell, Calloway, Carlisle, Christian, Crittenden, Daviess, Fulton, Graves, Hancock, Henderson, Hickman, Hopkins, Livingston, Logan, Lyon, Marshall, McLean, McCracken, Muhlenberg, Ohio, Simpson, Todd, Trigg, Union, Warren and Webster.   The statewide daily bag limit is four rabbits and eight quail.   The drought may have impacted quail more than rabbits, especially in west Kentucky. “We had pretty good nesting conditions early on, with spring rains and lots of cover, but western Kentucky was drier and hotter (than the rest of the state), as the summer progressed,” Robinson said. “When chicks hatch they need insects, and in drier weather there are fewer insects.”   The months of June and July signal the peak of

quail nesting in Kentucky, a bit later than some adjacent states. Rain throughout the summer is important to quail because moisture provides better cover and more food sources.   “Quail need seeds, especially as the season progresses,” Robinson said.   Rabbits have a much longer breeding season than quail. A female in good habitat with favorable weather conditions may produce several litters of young from late winter, through early fall.   The rural mail carrier survey, conducted annually since 1960, provides biologists with small game population trends based on the number of rabbits and quail observed along roadways per 100 miles driven. The rural mail carrier survey found rabbit and quail numbers decreased slightly from last year.   Robinson said he expects quail hunting to be close to what hunters experienced last year, but not all indicators point to fewer quail this fall.   “Quail hunters who participated in our Quail Hunting Cooperator Survey reported an increase in the number of quail covey flushes per hour last season,” Robinson said. “Hunter input helps us track population and hunt trends.”   Kentucky’s Quail and Rabbit Hunting Cooperator Surveys were developed as a volunteer initiative in 1995. Biologists use the collected data to monitor trends that help them make informed decisions on rabbit and quail management.   Hunters use a log to keep track of their hunts, providing the following information: date of the hunt, county, hours hunted, number of hunters, number of dogs, number of coveys flushed or rabbits jumped, number of quail singles re-flushed, number of rabbits or quail shot at, number of quail or

rabbits killed, and the number of crippled quail not retrieved.   Some highlights from the 2009-2010 Rabbit Hunting Cooperator Survey Report revealed:   · The average rabbit hunt was two hunters spending about 3.5 hours afield with four dogs.   · December was the most popular month with rabbit hunters.   ·Hunters jumped between nearly two rabbits per hour, and harvested around 3 rabbits per hunt.   ·Eastern cottontail rabbits comprised 98 percent of the harvest. Kentucky’s other two rabbits are the Appalachian cottontail and the swamp rabbit.  At the end of the season, hunters simply mail their completed surveys to: Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, No. 1 Sportsman’s Lane, Frankfort, KY. 40601.

Safety tips for heating your home Jennifer Bridge Family & Consumer Science The cold Kentucky winds are beginning to blow, signaling that it’s time to turn on the furnace. Safety from fire and carbon monoxide poisoning should be your first priority. U.S. fire departments responded to thousands of home structure fires in 2009 that involved heating equipment, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Not only are furnaces potential hazards, but many of the fires started from space heaters. Carbon monoxide deaths were another problem. Following a few safety rules can lessen the chance of a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning at your house. Keep flammable materials at least 3 feet away from heating equipment. This includes paint cans, combustible cleaning supplies, paper, curtains, clothing and rugs. Better yet, keep volatile liquids like paint and cleaners in a different room. Make sure all vents are free of obstructions. Have a furnace professional check your furnace for gas leaks, cracked burners and heat exchangers, and other malfunctions.

Replace the furnace filter frequently. Use a glass or metal screen in front of your fireplace so embers don’t pop out creating a fire hazard. Keep the hearth clear of decorations and debris. A smoke alarm is still the best tool for early fire detection, and a carbon monoxide detector is the best tool to prevent fatal carbon monoxide buildup. At a bare minimum, there should be a smoke alarm on every level of your house and a carbon monoxide detector located per manufacturer’s recommendations. Replace the batteries in these detectors at least once a year and replace the entire smoke and carbon monoxide alarms every 10 years, since their sensors wear out. Have a 3-foot “child-free zone” around open fires and space heaters and teach your children that fires and heaters are dangerous. If you have a wood stove, it should be surrounded by a non-combustible floor, and in some cases noncombustible wall panels. Check with local authorities about the required radius for non-combustible flooring and the required distance from walls before the non-combustible panels are installed. Have chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. A sluggish draft or smoke

rolling into the room could mean creosote buildup in the flue, which could lead to a nasty chimney fire. Use only clear, 1-K grade kerosene in kerosene heaters. Grade 2 kerosene burns dirtier and releases many more pollutants. Other fuels like gasoline will lead to fires or explosions. You must provide outside air ventilation for kerosene heaters or any other unvented heaters. A general rule of thumb is 1 square inch of open window or door for each 1,000 btu of heater rating, but check manufacturer’s instructions. Carbon monoxide buildup has killed many people, often in their sleep. Turn off portable heaters when leaving the room or going to bed. Never use your oven to heat your home. Rehearse with your family fire safety practices. For example, set a family meeting place outside your house if a fire occurs, so you will know that everyone is safe. These few precautions will help you keep warm and, most of all, safe. For more information about fire prevention and home heating safety, contact Meade County Cooperative Extension Service. Educational programs of the Kentucky Cooperative Extension serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin.

Garrett Homemaker’s Club News Submitted By Mary Pike The October meeting of the Garrett Homemakers was held on Oct. 13, at Annette Hornsby’s home in Brandenburg, Ky. We had 11 of our regular members present and ﬁve members were absent. We had the pleasure of the company of three guests, Martha Claycomb, Mary Lee Earnst, and Steven Crebessa, District Judge. After a delicious lunch of roast beef, Judge Crebessa gave us a talk about the Kentucky Judicial System including its structure and how the court system has changed over the years. It was a very informative talk and many of our questions were answered. Judge Crebessa and Mary Lee then had to return to the courthouse, and we continued with our regular meeting. We would like to thank Steve for his time. The inspirational was done by Debbie Foushee and was entitled, “A New

Life” by Ruth Ann Antle, Twilight Club, Russellville, Ky. It was about the value of a friend. We then discussed the area annual meeting held at Rough River on Oct. 8. Three of the Garret Homemakers attended that meeting, Annette Hornsby, Rose Whelan and Mary Ann (Doc) Lancaster. At that meeting, new ofﬁcers were installed for our area and included were two of our own Meade County Homemakers. Janet Hobbs, Garrett Club, was installed as secretary and Michelle Lawson, Midway Club, was installed as president. Congratulations to Michelle and Janet. Annette reported that we did very well with donations for Ovarian Cancer research and Coins for Change. Also, one of our very important projects, the Ghana Kentucky School in Ghana now has a full kitchen and electricity due to the generosity of Kentucky Homemakers. Good Job

Kentucky homemakers. We also received a letter from 17 year old Lydia Richardson asking for gently used or new books for children and adults. Lydia is a senior at Meade County High School and is working on her 4-H Gold Award which is the highest award given in 4-H. For her project, she is collecting books that will be given away to children and adults. She will also be reading books to children. She asks only that the books donated for adults are in good taste. If you have books to donate, bring them to the Extension ofﬁce or call 422-4313 and arrange for someone to pick them up. After Jane Warford gave the lesson for the month on grandparents and grandchildren, we adjourned our meeting. We will meet next month on Nov. 10, at Pat Ditto’s house. Everyone is to bring a Christmas item for a white elephant sale. Sounds like fun.

FEATURES ‘Fall’ in love with pumpkins

The News Standard - B7

Friday, October 29, 2010

By Angela Shelf Medearis The Kitchen Diva

A large pile of bright-orange pumpkins is my visual celebration of fall. References to pumpkins date back many centuries. The name pumpkin originated from the Greek word “pepon,” meaning “large melon.” “Pepon” was nasalized by the French into “pompon.” The English changed “pompon” to “Pumpion.” American colonists changed “pumpion” into “pumpkin.” The origin of pumpkin pie occurred when the colonists sliced off the pumpkin top, removed the seeds, and filled the insides with milk, spices and honey. The pumpkin was then baked in hot ashes. The bright-orange color of pumpkin is a dead giveaway that pumpkin is loaded with an important antioxidant: beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is one of the plant carotenoids converted to vitamin A in the body. In the conversion to vitamin A, beta carotene performs many important functions in overall health. Current research indicates that a diet rich in foods containing beta-carotene may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and helps protect against heart disease. Beta-carotene offers protection against other diseases, as well as some degenerative aspects of aging. To select a pumpkin, look for one with 1 to 2 inches of stem left. If the stem is cut down too low, the pumpkin will decay quickly or may be decaying at the time of purchase. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes and soft spots. It should be heavy, although shape is unimportant. A lopsided pumpkin is not necessarily a bad pumpkin. Figure one pound of raw, untrimmed pumpkin for each cup finished pumpkin puree. To prepare the pumpkin for cooking, spread newspaper over your work surface. Start by carefully removing the stem with a sharp knife. If you are planning to roast the pumpkin seeds, smash or drop the pumpkin on a hard surface to break it open. In any case, remove the stem and scoop out the seeds and scrape away all of the stringy mass. A messy job, but it will pay off. You can cook the pumpkin by boiling, steaming, roasting or using the mi-

Different varieties of pumpkins adorn a wagon. Pumpkins are not only a fun decoration, but a delicious source of beta-carotene crowave to create your own fresh pumpkin puree. Directions for cooking and preparing pumpkin puree are as follows: Boiling/Steaming Method: Cut the pumpkin into rather large chunks. Rinse in cold water. Place pieces in a large pot with about a cup of water. The water does not need to cover the pumpkin pieces. Cover the pot and boil for 20 to 30 minutes or until tender, or steam for 10 to 12 minutes. Check for doneness by poking with a fork. Drain the cooked pumpkin in a colander. Reserve the liquid to use as a base for soup. •Oven method: cut pumpkin in half, scraping away stringy mass and seeds. Rinse under cold water. Place pumpkin, cut-side down, on a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour or until fork tender. •Microwave method: cut pumpkin in half, place cutside down on a microwavesafe plate or tray. Microwave on high for 15 minutes, then check for doneness at 1-2 minute intervals until fork tender. •Preparing the puree: allow cooked pumpkin to cool. Remove the peel using a small sharp knife and your fingers. Place pumpkin in a food processor and puree, or alternately use a food mill, ricer, strainer or potato masher. Freeze and store in one-cup portions in a small freezer bag for up to one year. These Pumpkin Nut Bars showcase the flavors and nutritional benefits of pumpkins to perfection. Pumpkin Nut Bars 1 cup cooked pumpkin puree, fresh or canned

1/2 cup whipped butter 2 egg whites, slightly beaten 2 cups oats 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup sweetened, shredded coconut, toasted (*see note below) 1/2 cup wheat germ 1 cup chopped walnuts or almonds 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites slightly; add pumpkin and melted butter or margarine beat until smooth. In another bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, coconut, wheat germ and nuts. Fold oat mixture into pumpkin mixture to form stiff dough. 3. Press dough into a lightly greased 15 1/2 by 10 1/2-inch jelly roll pan. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, cut into 2 by 3 inch bars. Serve warm or cool completely. Makes about 30 bars. *To toast the coconut, place it on a sheet pan in an even layer and put it in a 350 degree oven. Stir after 3 minutes and continue to stir every 5 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Takes about 10 minutes cooking time.

World War II comes to life on the MCHS stage By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard It was a time when Jewish people couldn’t own anything, yet alone have a chance to be a family in their own home. At one World War II concentration camp, Terezin, located near Prague, a small glimmer of hope was shown after drawings and poetry from the inmates were found. After the war, those drawings were found in two suitcases. Even though most of the children died in the camp, their artwork was not forgotten. Later on, those collection of drawings and poetry were adapted into the play “I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” by Celeste Raspanti. Now, Meade County High School students are bringing that story to life as they perform the play at 7 p.m. Nov. 4-6 in the MCHS auditorium. The play cost $5 for students and $6 for adults. “The play is set in the 1940s

SPMS From page B1 opening drive. The trick play would be the first of many the Greenwave capitalized on throughout the game. SPMS head coach Gery Whelan said the Greenwave planned on using the trick plays to give his team an advantage against the speedy JCTMS defense. The Greenwave scored two touchdowns against JCTMS using trick play formations. “They have such a solid defense, we were just hoping to lull them to sleep and then bust out these plays,” Whelan said of his team’s use trick plays against JCTMS. The speed of Miller setup the Greenwave’s second scoring opportunity. Miller beat a JCTMS defender down the field halfway through the second quarter, hauling in a 35-yard pass from Wilson

before being tackled at the JCTMS 1-yard line. Wilson finished the scoring play on a quarterback sneak for the touchdown. Wilson connected on the two-point conversion pass to Micah Kaiser putting the Greenwave ahead 14-6. The strong connection on the field between Miller and Wilson can be credited to the hard work both players put into practice during the summer months, Whelan said. “We started practice July 15, those two stay after practice to work on those pass plays,” Whelan said. Miller credited the connection on the field to their ability to have fun while competing together. “We are just out there having fun,” Miller said. “They were playing me inside, so I was able to beat them deep. I know if I get open he will get me the ball.” JCTMS responded on its next drive, scoring on a

1-yard touchdown run and ran in the two-point conversion tying the score at 14-14, with 1:43 left in the first half. John Wilson quickly put SPMS in scoring position on its last drive of the first half, when he hit Miller on a 42yard pass play. JCTMS tackled Miller at its one-yard line. The Greenwave were pushed back to the six-yard line due to a delay of game penalty given to Whelan for attempting to call two consecutive timeouts before a play was attempted. From the 6-yard line the Greenwave unveiled another trick play formation, lining up in the swinging gate formation. John Wilson raced out the right side of the field from behind the line of scrimmage acting as if he was going to run for the score before throwing a touchdown pass to Micah Kaiser. The Greenwave’s two-point conversion attempt was failed and SPMS took a 20-

14 lead into halftime. As the hard-hitting picked up amongst the two teams in the second half, so did the dominance of the Greenwave rushing attack and the play of their offensive line. SPMS took the opening kickoff of the second half and scored on a John Wilson 1-yard touchdown run. The Greenwave drive chewed up the first 9:30 of the third quarter. The two-point conversion pass fell incomplete following the touchdown run giving SPMS a 26-14 lead. “The offensive line was able to control the line of scrimmage in the second half against one of the best teams in Jefferson County,” Whelan said. The Centurions’ responded with a 10-yard touchdown run and rushed for the two-point conversion cutting SPMS’ lead to 26-22. After the Centurions’ touchdown run, the Greenwave started the game’s

The News Standard - B9 final drive, chewing up the final five minutes off the clock with John Wilson running plays. Faced with a fourth-andinches play, John Wilson sealed the Greenwave’s victory with a 3-yard run up the middle of the JCTMS defense. With the first down, SPMS was able to keep the ball from JCTMS and run out the remaining 2 minutes left in the game. “We put the ball in John Wilson’s hands,” Whelan said. “Coaches tell me they plan on smashing our little quarterback. But he is so tough and he’s intelligent. He can see the opening to create the play.” The running room on the critical play was created by the physical play of SPMS center Michael Roby. “He blew up their line for that last play, because of his push, John was able to get three yards instead of just the few inches,” Whelan said. With the win SPMS moves

on in the state tournament playing Saturday Oct. 23. The game time and opponent is yet to be announced. SPMS teams end season in playoffs SPMS eighth grade team suffer a season ending loss to Southern Pulaski Middle 3414 in the regional finals. The Greenwave fell behind 27-0 in the first half to the Cougars. David Sipes and John Miller scored the Greenwave’s two second half touchdowns. Sipes caught a two-point conversion pass from John Wilson for the final score. SPMS eighth grade team finished the season as conference champions, regional finalist and have the most wins in SPMS school history with 12 wins. SPMS seventh grade team suffered a 26-6 season ending loss to North Pulaski. Wade Abernathy scored SPMS’ only touchdown. SPMS seventh grade team finished the season with a 6-2 record.

Halloween safety tips for little ghouls, goblins Carole Goodwin 4-H & Youth Development

Free candy, superheroes, princesses, ghouls and goblins, what’s not to like about Halloween? Children look forward to it from planning that special outfit to vying to get the most candy. Creating a costume can be the most fun. But safety and comfort should be the first two considerations. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are big enough for them to see where they’re walking and the nose holes are big enough to breathe through. If you are buying a costume, make sure the material is flame-retardant. Check any props like swords, pitchforks and scythes which should have smooth, soft edges and be light enough so the props won’t be a burden

throughout the evening. Look at the length of the costume to make sure it won’t trip anyone. Get a costume that has a little extra room so you can put a sweater or a sweatshirt under it if the weather is cool. High heels might complete a girl’s princess outfit but make sure the shoes aren’t slippery or too uncomfortable. It’s better to wear sneakers if walking a long distance. Children should be accompanied by an adult or older teenage sibling. In the crowded atmosphere, don’t lose sight of your child. Before going trick or treating, talk to your child about their behavior. Most tricks that occur during this time are vandalism. Have them say thank you when receiving a treat and be courteous to the other children. Eat dinner before going out so your children won’t want to eat too much candy before you have had a

Assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit containing a first aid kit and essential medications, canned food and can opener, at least three gallons of water per person, protective clothing, bedding, or sleeping bags, batterypowered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries, special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members, written instructions on how to turn off electricity, gas, and water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, you'll need a professional to turn natural gas service back on.)

o-lantern displays than a lighted candle. Some of the votives flicker like a real candle and are a lot safer for costumed little ones. Courtesy, safety and creative costumes can set the right atmosphere. Make one of the most anticipated holidays for children a cackling good time.

Veterans, active military honored at BPS fall festival By Jennifer Corbett The News Standard

There wasn’t an empty seat at Brandenburg Primary School, as people came out in droves to support BPS during their fall festival last Friday. “We were very excited about the turnout,” said Gloria Bertrand, principal at BPS. Bertrand added that the fall festival was a PTO fundraiser and all the funds will be divided amongst the teachers to go back into the classrooms. Third graders and first graders showcased their musical side as music teacher Shirley Barger led both classes in full out routines. In light of the upcoming holiday, the first graders sang Halloween songs in costumes. The third graders portrayed their American pride during “Salute to our Hero’s” by donning red and blue bandanas, white shirts and blue jeans. The class danced and sang “I Love My Country,” “Thank A Vet,” “This Is My Country,” and “Thankful for the USA.” While the third graders performed, pictures of current and retired military soldiers were shown in a slide show. Each picture represented someone who was either related to or friends with one of the students. In prior years, Bertrand said all classes used to perform. But it got too hectic and kids weren’t able to enjoy the festival. So Barger and Bertrand decided to create a new tradition that only first and third graders will perform. Outside the gym, students

Games were broken off into different pods and awarded some unique prizes, such as goldfish. The games included sand art, cake-walk, putt-putt golf, fish pond, creating witches hats and inflatables. Overall, Bertrand was ecstatic with how well the fall festival turned out. “We’re very fortunate,” she said. “The community is wonderful and we appreciate all the support.”

Achievement

Pictured with Jessi is Dr. Warren Edminster, Academic Dean of the Academy, and Dr. Randy Dunn, President of Murray State. Jessica Dennis from Meade County High School received the Certiﬁcate of Recognition from the Commonwealth Honors Academy at a reunion of academy scholars held at Murray State Univer-

As a successful graduate of the academy, Jessi will receive six hours of university credit, a $2,000 per year Murray State housing scholarship, and the option to take six additional hours from Murray State tuition free. The mission of the Commonwealth Honors Academy, currently in its tenth year, is to challenge, educate, enlighten, and nurture the next generation of academic, civic, and business leaders in the region.

Paws Corner By Sam Mazzotta Do Home Flea Remedies Work?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My little dog “Gellie” gets fleas quite often. A while ago in your column a reader suggested washing the dog with Dawn dish detergent and soaking her collar in something. Do you know what that something is? Also, how often should you bathe a dog? — Frances M., Batavia, N.Y. DEAR FRANCES: Unfortunately I don’t have the original column right at hand, but I did a little research for you on home remedies for getting rid of these pesky biters. The website www.stopthefleas. com is the source of the dish detergent remedy: specifically, bathing your pet in lemon-scented Dawn liquid soap. It supposedly both kills and repels fleas. It’s important to note, however, that using dish detergents or hand soaps to bathe your pet will dry out their skin. This can lead to other problems, including rashes and sores, increased allergies, and in general, a lot of discomfort for your pet — as well as making its skin more susceptible to future flea infestation. I would recommend not using this method more than once a month, or even once every two or three months. And I’d encourage you to look for pet-friendly, natural flea-repellent soaps, which are available at pet stores. Home remedies are probably not as fast or effective as chemical remedies, and you’ll need to employ other methods to discourage fleas, including vacuuming the house at least weekly. Sprinkle a little Borax in front of the doors or plant pennyroyal near your home’s entry points. Brush your pet daily, especially if she goes outside at all, to remove dirt or grass that fleas can ride in on and dislodge flea eggs. Send your pet questions and tips to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Find more pet advice and resources at www.pawscorner.com. Want to adopt a pet? Contact the Meade County Animal Shelter at 4222064 for more information and don’t forget to spay and neuter your pets. The animal shelter also accepts donations of pine cleaner, paper towels and bleach. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Celebrity Extra By Cindy Elavsky

Q: Is it true that a sequel to “Top Gun” is in the works? — Fred D., Akron, Ohio A: All MiG-28s point to “yes.” While it is still in the early stages of development, “Top Gun 2” is in Paramount’s sights, although the production company will not confirm anything on the record at this time. Tom Cruise was said to have been approached for a cameo in the sequel, but studio officials are quick to deny that claim. I think it’s still a possibility Jesse Ventura that “Maverick” will make an appearance; they just want it to be a surprise for us fans, so they are denying it. However, all of us nosy-pants on the Internet make surprises quite difficult to pull off, wouldn’t you agree? Q: I am glad to see that “Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura” is back for its second season. I was surprised truTV gave it the green light to go ahead in the first place, since most channels try to stay away from anything even the slightest bit controversial. — Lisa J., via e-mail A: I know what you mean, and I’m happy that truTV is sticking by its most controversial show (its record-breaking ratings for its first season didn’t hurt, either). The governor himself told me how proud he is of the network for taking a chance on his show: “I give truTV a lot of credit. They’re showing a great deal of courage for putting this show on television. They came on board with both guns blazing. I have to tell you that I couldn’t be happier.” For more of my chat with Gov. Ventura, go to www.celebrityextraonline.com. Trust me, we cover some really good stuff! Q: I finally had the chance to see “You Don’t Know Jack,” the HBO movie with Al Pacino starring as Jack Kevorkian. Al was great, as usual. Did he meet Dr. Kevorkian before portraying him? — Britney F., San Antonio A: Al Pacino told The New York Times that he did not want to meet the doctor to prepare for his role, as he wanted to discover the character himself and didn’t feel that meeting him prior would be productive. He said he “prefers playing a real character, someone who exists, because it gives a kind of credibility to what you are doing.” Al has since signed on to another HBO biopic, this one being a David Mamet-written film about Phil Spector. I am thinking he won’t be meeting with Phil beforehand either. Q: Can you tell me if Scott Caan of “Hawaii Five-o” is related to James Caan? — Joyce C., via e-mail A: Scott, 34, is indeed the son of legendary actor James Caan. Scott, who plays Danno in the revamped version of the hit 1970s police drama, has been building quite a resume for himself. He has appeared in “Ocean’s Eleven,” “Ocean’s Twelve” and “Ocean’s Thirteen,” as well as “Varsity Blues” and “Into the Blue.” Write to Cindy at King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475; or e-mail her at letters@cindyelavsky.com. For more news and extended interviews, visit www.celebrityextraonline.com and twitter.com/Celebrity_Extra.

Last Week’s Solutions

• It was American author, producer, screenwriter and director Michael Crichton who made the following sage observation: “Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had.” • Statistics show that more babies are born in September than in any other month of the year. • Talk about bad luck: In May of 2009, two thieves broke into a jewelry store in Milwaukee, bagged up their loot and tried to make their getaway. On the way out of the looted store, they were confronted by two more thieves, who took the ill-gotten gains. No one ended up profiting from the crime, however; all four were arrested. • According to an estimate by the United Nations, there are more than 3 million shipwrecks on the ocean floor. • If you’re not the sort of person who makes the bed every day, here’s some good news for you: Researchers in the United Kingdom have found that unmade beds are less likely to harbor dust mites, a common cause of asthma and allergic symptoms. • Thought for the Day: “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” -- Rene Descartes (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty continues to impress everyone who needs reassurance about a project. But be careful you don’t lose patience with those who are still not ready to act. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pushing others too hard to do things your way could cause resentment and raise more doubts. Instead, take more time to explain why your methods will work. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be more considerate of those close to you before making a decision that could have a serious effect on their lives. Explain your intentions and ask for their advice. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have to defend a workplace decision you plan to make. Colleagues might back you up on this, but it’s the facts that will ultimately win the day for you. Good luck. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat’s co-workers might not be doing enough to help get that project finished. Your roars might stir things up, but gentle purrrsuasion will prove to be more effective. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone you care for needs help with a problem. Give it lovingly and without judging the situation. Whatever you feel you should know will be revealed later. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) While you’re to be admired for how you handled recent workplace problems, be careful not to react the same way to a new situation until all the facts are in. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Rely on your keen instincts as well as the facts at hand when dealing with a troubling situation. Be patient. Take things one step at a time as you work through it. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your curiosity leads you to ask questions. However, the answers might not be what you hoped to hear. Don’t reject them without checking them out. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be careful not to tackle a problem without sufficient facts. Even sure-footed Goats need to know where they’ll land before leaping off a mountain path. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Appearances can be deceiving. You need to do more investigating before investing your time, let alone your money, in something that might have some hidden flaws. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your recent stand on an issue could make you the focus of more attention than you would like. But you’ll regain your privacy, as well as more time with loved ones, by week’s end. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a good friend and a trusted confidante. You would be a wonderful teacher and a respected member of the clergy. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

P.O. BOX 384 BRANDENBURG KY 40108

Dear Meade County Voter, On Tuesday, November 2nd, you are asked to make many decisions which will affect your life and the lives of your family and loved ones for several years. I am asking you to vote for me that I may continue to serve as your Commonwealth’s Attorney. Since 1999, I have served as your full-time, felony prosecutor. I have represented your interests against killers, rapists, arsonists, burglars, thieves, drug traffickers, meth manufacturers, child abusers, drunk drivers, those who exploit the dependent elderly, holders of public office who have abused their authority and every other manner of felon. The primary responsibility of this office is to ensure public safety and protect the civil liberties of all citizens. I am proud to serve as your Commonwealth’s Attorney and ask only to continue to do so. In my twelve years of service I have participated in the prosecution of more than 5,000 felony indictments. I have presented more criminal cases at trial, in those years, than has any other attorney in this circuit. My office collects and distributes an average of $10,000.00 each month in restitution to crime victims (this does not include the child support which we assist in collecting with the county attorney). To provide the best possible prosecutorial service to you I have completed the Kentucky Prosecutors’ Institute which is specialized training for Kentucky’s prosecutors developed by the Kentucky Attorney General and the Prosecutorial Advisory Council. I have received training at the National Advocacy Center which serves as the educational division of the National District Attorneys’ Association. Twice each year I attend specialized training for prosecutors designed by the Kentucky Attorney General to keep current on the law as it is changed and as it affects felony prosecutions. I work successfully with every law enforcement agency in this circuit to properly investigate, report and prosecute all the felony offenses which occur in Breckinridge, Grayson and Meade counties. My office seeks and obtains forfeiture of money and property from drug traffickers so that the profit is taken out of that criminal activity. Those forfeiture funds are spent on training and equipment specifically targeted at the enforcement of the controlled substances statutes. You have honored me for more than a decade with the privilege of serving as your felony prosecutor and Commonwealth’s Attorney. I believe that service to others is the price we pay for occupying a place on this earth. The skill set with which I am naturally endowed suits the service of a felony prosecutor – honor, integrity and dedication are not just words to me. Those are elements of character which I strive to possess and exhibit. I humbly ask for the privilege to continue in your service. If you are so willing please vote for Susan Streible, Commonwealth’s Attorney, November 2nd. Respectfully and sincerely, Susan M. Streible COMMONWEALTH’S ATTORNEY Paid for by Susan Streible, Campaign for Commonwealth’s Attorney

To All My Friends, Relatives and Meade County Citizen: I am writing this letter because I think you need to know what kind of man Sheriff Butch Kerrick is. In January 2007 newly-elected Sheriff Kerrick asked me to stay on as a member of his staff. I gladly accepted his offer but informed him of my husband Pete’s cancer and he told me not to worry. Sheriff Kerrick told me “he would work with me as far as Pete’s illness was concerned.” I took him at his word. In February 2007 we found out Pete was in stage four cancer and it had spread throughout his body at this time. I didn’t think it was necessary to file my Family Medical Leave Act to protect my job as I cared for Pete because I took Sheriff Kerrick at his word. To care for Pete I was off for sometime and drew my last paycheck on March 17, 2007. Sheriff Kerrick asked me in March to write him a letter stating my intentions as to returning to work. I did and assured him I wanted to return to work. Soon Pete’s condition worsened and he required round the clock care. About two weeks before Pete passed away on June 22, 2007 Sheriff Kerrick called me to tell me he was replacing me. As you can imagine I was devastated. In addition to facing the loss of my husband I now faced the loss of a job I thought was being kept for me. I never received a termination notice despite my repeated requests for one. Sheriff Kerrick told his staff that if the subject came up they were to say ‘JoAnn was let go, not fired.’ I was raised to believe you are only as good as your word. I pray the people of Meade County will realize we need honesty and integrity back in the Meade County Sheriff’s Office.

Voter Information • All voters must produce identification or be known by a precinct officer prior to voting. KRS117.227 and 31 KAR 4:010 provide the types of ID that can be used by the voter such as: Personal acquaintance of precinct officer, Driver’s license, Social Security card, credit card, or another form of ID containing both picture and signature. • You may request instructions on how to use the voting machine from the precinct election officials assigned to your precinct on election day. You may also request a sample ballot to review while waiting to vote. (or see above) • Under the new Help America Vote Act (HAVA), all states are required to have a voting machine in each polling place that allows anyone with a disability to cast a ballot free of outside assistance. Nevertheless, voters who ask for voting assistance due to physical disability, blindness or an inability to read English may request voting assistance at the polls on election day. Physical disability and blindness are the only two reasons a voter may apply to the county board of elections for permanent voting assistance. A person may receive assistance from someone of their choice or the two election officers at the polls. A person may not be assisted by their employer, the employer’s agent, a union officer or agent of that voter’s union.
