Meade County schools are commended for being green,A7

Local road standards and inspections have been a common theme of aggrava-tion for the Meade County Fiscal Court over the past several months and this month’s meeting was no different.

The court had almost made it through an en-tire meeting on Tuesday

night without mention of county road conditions or details of the inspection process when Magistrate Tom Goddard mentioned a section of Woodland Road which is in desperate need of repair.

Vagueness in the word-ing of the current road ser-vice district ordinance has led to the neglect of the stretch of roadway, in turn affecting residents of the

area who paid to get the section of the road into a road district, according to Goddard.

“They’re not getting a fair shake,” Goddard said. “The residents are getting what they wanted to a cer-tain degree, but did they get snookered because of a lack of documentation?”

It is unclear when the road was constructed, and the road ordinance re-

quires roads to have been built after 2000 to be held to standards of quality and inspection.

Goddard made it clear that he was not placing blame on the county road department.

“We don’t make the de-termination of when they qualify or not,” Meade County Road Department Supervisor Mark Popham said. “It’s not a Road De-

partment decision.” Popham added he agrees

that roads constructed pri-or to 1999 would be a good addition to the ordinance.

Fiscal court voted to ta-ble the issue to allow for time to research the matter further and make a deci-sion on whether or not to amend the ordinance.

Members of the court also voted to restrict com-mercial access to Four

Oaks Road. The road has been the

subject of a road access dispute for several years.

Commercial traffi c in the area will be directed to Old Ekron Road.

Fiscal Court also opened sealed bids for the con-struction of an addition to the recycling centerbuilding.

When it comes to the topic of alcohol sales, the question of what is morally right comes into play.

Opponents insist that prolif-erating the sale of alcohol to in-clude the whole county could lead to a degrading of the local community.

But a local land developer insists that the wet/dry is-sue should be used as more than just a moral compass, but should be used to propagate the potential of expanding commerce in Meade County.

“This is really not about al-cohol, this is not about a wet/dry vote,” Chad O’Bryan, with O’Bryan and Associates said.

“Whether these precincts are wet or dry doesn’t create an opportunity or dissuade any-body from buying alcohol, because you can go a half mile or a mile down the road and buy it. The issue is creating the most attractive business environment for large, big box chain restaurants to come and open up in Meade County. The wet/dry vote isn’t about buy-ing booze, it’s about making Meade County able to compete from a business standpoint.”

O’Bryan reiterated the idea of the alcohol sales issue as an economic springboard is not to benefi t himself as a land de-veloper because he develops mainly residential properties,

Lauren Ogletree is eight-years-old and she is preparing to say goodbye to her father for what will be a very long year.

Her father, Jeremy, is serving with the 8229 Aviation Regiment, which is

Both Lauren and her three-year-old sister, Grace, won’t have Dad around the house for awhile. But, thanks to the efforts of the local Extension Offi ce and the Meade County Homemakers, they have something on which to hang their love for their father.

I’M SORRY On October 15 of 2010 I made a mistake and I’d like to apologize. My car and a car driven by Patricia Durbin both popped over a hill on a narrow road and collided. After my head busted out my windshield, I wasn’t thinking very good. After helping Ms. Durbin out of her car and getting her cell phone so she could call 911, for some reason I panicked and left. I don’t know why. I guess I was worried about my car insurance and my pregnant girlfriend who is having trouble with our unborn child. It ended up that my car insurance was good. I should not have left Ms. Durbin alone. I want to tell her and the community I am sorry. I will do all I can to make this right. My family has helped me reimburse the person who put up the reward. I know I deserve to and will be punished. I hope to be able to keep my job delivering newspapers so I can provide for my family. I have some anxiety problems which seem to keep me from holding a more regular job I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry and wish that I had acted better. regular job I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry and wish that I had acted better. regular job I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry and wish that I had acted better. regular job I just wanted to say that I am truly

Community parks are common themes in small towns and a staple of Americana. Gathering places for community events and galas, quality together time, these parks are often times the glue of the social fabric of rural communities.

However, a lack of inter-est threatens the existence of a local community park that is the heartbeat of a Meade County commu-nity.

“Battletown doesn’t have much to do,” Battle-town Park Board Presi-dent Betty Mills said. “If we didn’t have the park, we wouldn’t hardly have anything. We don’t have a movie theater or restau-rant or things like Bran-denburg does, and as a community you’d think they’d be proud to have it and want to take care

of it.”Battletown Community

Park was incorporated as a non-profit entity on Oct. 3 1968, according to the park’s deed.

A local rock quarry leased the land to the park until November 2001, when the five acres the park is situated on was deeded from the quarry.

Activity at the park be-came stagnate, and the board at that time decided to let the park remain un-used.

That board has since dis-solved, but a new board was elected.

When the current board took over, they immedi-ately were working to re-store the relevance of the park to the community it served.

“It was just dwindling away,” Mills said. “No-body was doing anything with it. There was nothing going on.”

Insufficient funds and

the looming bill for essen-tial insurance became an instant bane for the newly appointed board, whose goal was to keep the park’s lifeblood flowing.

“When we took it over, we had a lot of debt,” she said. “That was our first goal, was the insurance. Without insurance, you can’t do anything.”

After contending with the insurance bill issue, the board immediately found themselves grap-pling with other bills and general upkeep of the park.

Since taking charge of the park this summer, the new board has hosted a few activities to generate activitity and spur inter-est, awareness and finan-cial support for Battletown Community Park.

The park hosted Bat-tletown Fun Day and in September held Harvest Boom, which consisted of fireworks, music and

games.Most recently, the park

hosted a Octoberfest car show, which drew a dis-appointing showing from local residents.

The community’s snub-bing of events at and to support the park, such as the recent October-fest car show at the park, which was a two-pronged event steered at raising money for operating costs and also to give people a chance to enjoy the park, may indicate a lack of lo-cal interest in the park.

According to Mills, only five or six residents from the surrounding commu-nity took advantage of the opportunity to utilize and support the park.

“It’s heartbreaking, you know, because the Wel-don Car Club aren’t even from Battletown. They donated everything — the trophies, their time, every-thing — and the DJ, he did the same thing and did an

excellent job. It’s kind of heartbreaking that some-one not from around here would care enough to do-nate their time and other things to help the park, and the people from here didn’t even care enough to come out. I don’t know what to do to get people out and involved. I don’t think everyone in the whole community was on vacation or had something going on that day.”

Despite residents turn-ing their noses up at the most recent park event, the board will still trudge on and continue planning and hosting events to keep Battletown Park open.

The park board has no upcoming events set in stone, but is toying with a couple of ideas and wants to remain diligent in keep-ing Battletown Park alive, thus keeping a mainstay of the community vibrant.

For example, a Veterans Day celebration was dis-

cussed, along with a pos-sible Christmas bazaar in December. Members of the community are encour-aged to suggest activities and fundraisers for the park.

“If at first you don’t suc-ceed, try again,” Mills said. “If somebody has some-thing they’d like to see there, then let us know. If it’s at all economically pos-sible, we’ll try to do it.”

The board also hopes to add playground equip-ment and have work done on the baseball field ini-tially, but have higher hopes and endless pos-sibilities for the park and how it can benefit the peo-ple of Battletown.

“We’ve got a lot of dreams, a lot of hopes and goals,” Mills said. “I just don’t know if it’s going to pan out. It is for the com-munity. It’s not my park, it’s the community’s park. It’s there for everyone to use and enjoy.”

Lack of public interest threatens future of Battletown park

The Meade County Emer-gency Management Com-mittee held a bienniel meet-ing last week.

At the meeting, Meade County Emergency Plan-ning Committee chairman Ron Dodson informed the committee of a proposed rehashing of the county’s Emergency Plan.

The plan’s proposed redux, which has been dis-cussed for nearly two and a half years, would likely halve the size of the county’s current plan, without affect-ing emergency readiness.

“We’re hoping to see the Meade County plan go from

being three inches thick in a binder to being about an inch and a half,” Dodson said.

The plan had been set on the back burner for different reasons, including the 2009 ice storm, which not only paralyzed the county, but also efforts to condense and ratify the emergency doctrine.

The state has been the main roadblock for the de-velopment of the new plan, Dodson said.

“The state’s been the main delay, not us,” he said.

There is no deadline for the new plan, but the sooner it’s created and enacted, the better he added.

Also at the meeting, Dod-son announced the county has received more than

$20,000 in Homeland Secu-rity grants. The money will be used to stock the coun-ty’s emergency shelter and to purchase and update re-peaters and radios for emer-gency responders.

The committee also saw a presentation by LG&E Ma-jor Accounts and Emergen-cy Operations Coordinator Keith Alexander.

Alexander showed the presentation, the NWS Win-ter Weather Workshop, as a way to better coordinate res-cue and safety efforts of the company and county emer-gency planning personnel during catastrophes.

The presentation was in response to and focused mainly on the havoc caused

by the 2009 ice storm. According to the presen-

tation, the main obstruction for county EMA’s was the swarming confusion that ensued directly after the ice storm due to a lack of com-munication capabilities.

The presentation demon-strated changes the compa-ny has made in its disaster response protocol in order to better correspond with county emergency manag-ers.

Also at the meeting, the committee elected its offi-cers for 2011

Ron Dodson was elected chairman, Tina Morgan treasurer and Al Kapteina treasurer. All three held the same posts the year before.

The Muldraugh City Council met on Nov. 8.

At the meeting, the council heard from Mul-draugh Planning and Zon-ing Committee Chairman Henry Bailey that an attor-ney has drafted changes to the city’s unclear manufac-tured homes ordinance.

Early holiday shoppers can rest easy as one event will showcase handmade items that are truly one of a kind.

This will be a part of the homemakers annual Holi-day Bazaar, which will be held tomorrow from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Farm Bureau Building.

Up to 54 vendors will set up shop at the free event. Each booth will carry items that could cater to anyone’s interest whether it is jewel-ry, purses or holiday deco-rations for kids, teens and adults.

“You name it, we’ll have it,” said Annette Hornsby, a member of the Garrett Homemakers Club.

Some of the popular gifts

that will be up for sale will be Rada Cutlery, Meade County Homemakers cook-book and a Meade County afghan, Hornsby added.

But one thing is for sure, nothing at the Holiday Bazaar can be found in Wal-mart.

“Nothing is commer-cially made,” said Jennifer Bridge county extension agent for family and con-sumer sciences. “It’s a good way to shop locally. And it’s easy to find something you like.”

Bridge noted that some people even buy desserts at the Holiday Bazaar, freeze them and save them until Thanksgiving.

According to Bridge, the homemakers began their Holiday Bazaar in 1956. The event began as a small

gathering in the basement of the old post office build-ing. As interest increased, so did the need of a new lo-cation. The Holiday Bazaar moved to Meade County High School until it found its home at the Farm Bu-reau Building.

Around 10 a.m. Santa will arrive at the Holiday Bazaar ready to hear what’s on kids’ wish list, as well as pose for pictures.

Lunch will feature home-made chicken salad and smoked pulled pork.

Raffles will be sold for a Santa Claus statue made by Mary Pike, Hornsby said. The funds raised from the raffle will go towards the homemaker scholarship fund.

“It’s going to be big,” Hornsby said. “It’s a great

opportunity to buy food and décor for Thanksgiv-ing and it’s also an oppor-tunity for early Christmas shoppers.”

“We welcome people to come out and support local crafts,” Bridge said. “It’s a good way to give a gift from the heart.”

Players in the Kentucky Lottery’s Madisonville Sales Region won over $105 million in prizes during Fis-cal Year 2010, which ended June 30.

That’s part of the $421.9 million in prizes paid to players statewide during FY10. Since tickets went on sale over twenty years ago in April of 1989, Ken-tucky Lottery players have claimed over $7.45 billion in prizes.

The Kentucky Lottery earned a record $214.3 mil-

lion for the Commonwealth in FY10. As the major-ity of lottery proceeds go to college scholarships and grants, $189.4 million of this amount was awarded to Kentucky students who were pursuing their college degrees.

This provided more than 122,000 scholarships and grants to some of our state’s best, brightest and most de-serving students.

Another $13.6 million in unclaimed prizes went to the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) Reserve Fund. Ken-tucky’s “Read to Achieve”

program and the Collab-orative Center for Literacy Development also received a total of $3 million, with a total of $33 million go-ing to these programs since inception.

Since ticket sales began in 1989, the Commonwealth has received more than $3.2 billion in proceeds from the Kentucky Lottery.

Retailers received ap-proximately $47.3 million in commissions and incentives in FY10.

Twenty-one years of com-missions and bonuses have added up to $772.9 million earned by Kentucky Lottery

retailers. Kentucky Lottery pro-

ceeds go to college grant, scholarship and literacy programs.

The Kentucky Lottery has contributed more than $1 billion for need-based grant and merit-based scholarship programs since 1998.

The KLC also contrib-utes $3 million annually to adult literacy development and “Read to Achieve”, an early childhood reading program.

Since its inception in the 1989, the Kentucky Lottery has sent more than $3 bil-lion to the Commonwealth.

Feel the breeze? It’s not another front bringing in high winds and potential tornadoes like a few weeks ago, but the collective sigh of relief at the end of Mid-term elections.

Re-elected incumbents and newly elected offi ce holders, who have been holding their breath until the fi nal vote was tallied and reported, are exhaling with relief at the prospect of a break from politicking and their new role in soci-ety. Even the unsuccessful candidates are probablyrelieved.

Voters are ready for nor-

malcy to resume, for a re-turn to regular life — free from yards fl ooded with distracting signs, radio waves bogged down by ads begging for votes and run-ning down opponents and the overall overwhelming gust of political ambition.

I think all are glad to see an end to the arguing and hatefulness caused by the divorce of political doctrine and different views driven into the ground to garner votes and secure a candi-date’s place in a political arena.

But on the tailwind of that relief at the end of the Mid-term elections comes the roaring cloud of dust kicked up by another political cir-cus in Meade County, the 2011 state elections and the 2012 presidential election.

Potential presidential candidates have already been showing their faces in states with early caucus-es and vital battleground states.

Within a few months, the state races will become evi-dent locally.

A strong feeling of déjà vu will grip our senses, and before long, it will be obvious that it’s elec-tion time again, that we’ve been here before, and very recently at that.

There will be more signs in yards, more ads on tele-vision and radio.

And I realize that it’s all part of the process, a ma-jor cog in the wheels of the democratic process.

But a more important part of that process are the elections, which became

evident when we totally realigned congress with our votes in the recent Midterm elections.

The readjusted Congress has the opportunity to fur-ther advances of clean en-ergy, tweak the health care plan to make it agreeable for everyone and sort out the job quagmire, among other things.

But more importantly, they have the opportunity to do their job and work together for a change.

Cooperation is key, but it’s our responsibility to choose the cooperators.

Let’s hope we put the right people in office, and hope we send even more in these upcomingelections.

If we’re not too tired of voting by then.

Editorial

The special meaning of Granddad’s socks

“Thank you, veterans”On June 5, 1984, President Ronald Reagan spoke com-

memorating the 40th anniversary of the Normandy D-Day invasion. A portion of those remarks are reprinted here as a Veteran’s Day salute and tribute to all of those who throughout the years have so bravely served this country on battlefields all over the world.

“We’re here to mark that day in history when the Allied peoples joined in battle to reclaim this con-tinent to liberty. For four long years, much of Eu-rope had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen, Jews cried out in the camps — millions cried out for liberation. Europe was enslaved, and the world prayed for its rescue. Here in Normandy, the rescue began. Here the Allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history.

We stand on a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France. The air is soft, but 40 years ago at this moment, the air was dense with smoke and the cries of men, and the air was filled with the crack of rifle fire and the roar of cannon.

At dawn, on the morning of the 6th of June, 1944, 225 Rangers jumped off the British landing craft and ran to the bottom of these cliffs. Their mission was one of the most difficult and daring of the invasion: to climb these sheer and desolate cliffs and take out the enemy guns. The Allies had been told that some of the mightiest of these guns were here, and they would be trained on the beaches to stop the Allied advance.

The Rangers looked up and saw the enemy soldiers — at the edge of the cliffs shooting down at them with machine guns and throwing grenades. And the American Rangers began to climb. They shot rope ladders over the face of these cliffs and began to pull themselves up. When one Ranger fell, another would take his place. When one rope was cut, a Ranger would grab another and begin his climb again. They climbed, shot back, and held their footing. Soon, one by one, the Rangers pulled themselves over the top, and in seizing the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the continent of Europe. Two hundred and twenty-five came here. After two days of fighting, only 90 could still bear arms.

Behind me is a memorial that symbolizes the Rang-er daggers that were thrust into the top of these cliffs. And before me are the men who put them there.

These are the boys of Pointe de Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.

Gentlemen, I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender’s poem. You are men who in your “lives fought for life...and left the vivid air signed with your honor….”

Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet you risked everything here.

Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was faith, and belief; it was loyalty and love.

The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next. It was the deep knowledge — and pray God we have not lost it — that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest. You were here to liberate, not to con-quer, and so you and those others did not doubt your cause. And you were right not to doubt.

You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One’s country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honor-able form of government ever devised by man.

All of you loved liberty. All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your countries were behind you.”

Every time there is a special day to remember our military, I think of my grandfather’s socks.

These socks, in the eyes of a child, were unique. I had never seen anything quitelike them.

My mother had bought them for her father as a birth-day present and it was those socks that taught me a lot about the sacrifi ce of Ameri-can soldiers.

My granddad was raised in what can only be described as a rural, backwoods set-ting. It was a society of shot-guns and sermons, mules and moonshine, oil lamps andwood stoves.

In 1913, the year my grand-father was born, another man halfway across the world was moving from one country to another.

He had left the place of his birth to avoid military service after receiving an inheritance from an aunt who was dying.

Back home in the Tennessee hills, it soon was the late 1930s, and Granddad had fallen in love with a woman who was studying to be a nurse.

The job market was look-ing up. A government pro-gram called TVA was due to provide jobs and hope for the region’s residents.

During that same period, the other man across the sea had risen to be the leader of his adopted country.

He was charismatic and his followers were zealousto his cause.

That man’s cause became world domination and he was called “Fuhrer,” a word describing one exercising the power of a tyrant.

His name was Adolph Hitler and he brought theworld to war.

Americans were called into action to help its European friends and the world stop this evil force.

They went by sea and air; leaving behind their plows, their hunting rifl es, their fami-lies, and their way of life.

My grandfather was oneof them.

The “Good War” as it was called was also a long war as many bombs and men fell de-fending freedom.

Granddad found him-self in an outfi t commanded by a guy called “Old Bloodand Guts.”

The unit was offi cially called “The Third Army” and a man named George Patton was placed in charge.

He led thousands of men, including my grandfather, in a dash across Europe to help liberate that embattled conti-nent from Hitler’s evils.

I do not know the details of what my grandfather saw or experienced in that action.

My grandmother told me

when he came home after the war and departed the train, his fi rst words to her were, “Never ask me what hap-pened over there.”

He was fortunate to come home with head, arms and feet still attached. So many he served with werenot so lucky.

Granddad never did dis-cuss it, never boasted about it, and never reminiscedof his service.

Because of that, I have to depend upon history’s ac-counts of the Third Army’s ex-ploits to get some idea of what my grandfather may havegone through.

It all comes back to those unusual socks that piquedby curiosity.

During those swings across Europe, the Third Army en-countered horrible winters. Marching through the snow for days and nights, their boots very often would allow the moisture and the cold to reach between their toes.

Dampened socks amplifi ed the rigidity of their winter surroundings. Frostbite was common and my grandfather was not immune.

It caused his feet to be sensitized to the colors usedto dye socks.

That is why, for the rest of his life, the dress socks he wore were dyed with color from the ankle up and were cotton white around his feet.

His sacrifi ce was not as great as many of those with whom

he fought or those in wars before and after, but thinking of those socks always remind me of sacrifi ce and those who gave the ultimate sacrifi ce.

They led me to a greater cu-riosity of history and a greater appreciation for those who have served our country on foreign and dangerous soil.

For special days we re-member our military, most only think of those who gave their lives, but learning more about what those in war go through makes me believe there has never been anyone who serves in a uniform who has not sacrifi ced some part of their life.

Everything they lost is irre-placeable.

It could have been a thumb, an arm, a foot, or a leg.

Maybe it was precious time with their loved ones, watch-ing their children grow, or be-ing denied the chance to say good-bye to a loving parent or grandparent.

And, most important-ly, there are the ones wholost it all.

We should be very proud of all of them and thankful they were willing to make those sacrifi ces, large and small, for their neighbors, their families and their country.

And, after knowing all I know now, I wish I could have told Granddad how re-ally proud I am of him.

And that’s what I think of when I remember my grand-father’s socks.

The young writer and philosopher Henry Da-vid Thoreau, urged by pi-ous friends to prepare his soul for the next life, com-plained, “One world at a time!”

Thoreau died prema-turely at the age of 45, still in his prime.

Had he lived longer, I suspect he would have reconsidered his cavalier dismissal of eternal life.

At the very least, that most reflective of Ameri-cans would have pon-dered how to spend the rest of his life on earth.

According to the New York Times Almanac, every eight seconds an American man or woman reaches the age of 50.

If you are a baby boom-er, you are approaching the Indian summer of your life in the company of 77 million other Americans born during the 18 years following World War II.

You were spared the Great Depression that humbled your parents and have profited from peace and affluence, at least un-til the current recession.

But the death of a loved one, or a serious illness, has likely presented you with intimations of your own mortality.

Every year since I was a small child, I have been reminded on Ash Wednes-day that I came from dust and to dust will return.

Now, at the age of 76, I take that reminder more seriously, reflecting on life, savoring it, and plan-ning for the remaining years.

According to the Al-

manac, the average man reaching 50 today can look forward to 27.5 more years of life. A 50-year-old woman can anticipate 31.6 more years.

But what will ensure the quality of life in our re-maining years, and what will strengthen our confi-dence in a future beyond this life?

Books written for people in middle age tend to clus-ter around three themes: extending one’s lifespan, planning financially for retirement, and preparing for decline and death.

The first set of books is predictably upbeat, the second is practical, the third is philosophical.

Unfortunately, no one as yet has devised a fool-proof recipe for a long and healthy life. Perhaps one day our bodies will be overhauled by genetic engineering and our lives

extended. If so, it will be too late

for me, born in 1934. At the moment I can depend only on the genes I in-herited from my parents, who lived into their 80s, but lingered in less-than-robust health.

Their later years were not golden.

They only survived re-tirement, lacking the re-sources mental, physical, and financial to enjoy it.

Although both of them were religious, my par-ents did not meet their fi-nal days with equanimity. With forethought, you and I can do better.

Typically, men and women tend to become more philosophical as they grow older.

That is not my coun-sel. Being philosophical means being resigned to fate, reducing one’s expec-tations, and concentrating

on security rather than en-joyment.

We are, if not quite mas-ters of our fate, yet rich in hope, because we are God’s own creatures, made in His image to enjoy His company eternally.

So, instead of being philosophical in the au-tumn of our earthly lives, we do better to become theological to view our-selves from our designer’s perspective.

Our souls are ever im-mune to the ravages of time.

Our spirits are forever young. We are never too old to grow young inspirit.

Should we love Jesus enough to live for him?

A few years ago four men and a 12-year-old boy went to Alaska to fish for salmon.

The place they went to was so remote it could only be reached by a sea plane.

After landing on the re-mote bay they docked the plane for a great day of fishing.

When the day was done they returned to their

plane only to discover that the tide had left the plane grounded.

They could not take off and had to spend the night and wait for the tide to come in the nextmorning.

When the next day’s tide had lifted the plane from the mud they climbed aboard to take off.

The plane had no sooner lifted off until it crashed down into the water.

One of the plane’s pon-toons had been punctured and filled with water, making it too heavy for the plane to fly.

The sea plane began to sink. The four men and the 12-year-old son of one of the men prayed and then jumped into the icy water to swim to shore.

The water was cold, and the riptide was strong, and three of the men reached the shore exhausted.

They looked back, and their companion, who was also a strong swimmer, did not swim to shore because his 12-year-old son wasn’t strong enough to make it.

They saw that father with his arms around his son being swept out to sea.

He chose to die with his son rather than to live without him.

This is a picture of the love of a father willing to lay down his life for one of his children.

This is also the kind of love that Jesus has for us.

He loves us so much He willingly gave His own life so you and I can live for all eternity.

Since Jesus loved us enough to die for us, shouldn’t we love Him enough to live for Him?

St. Mary’s feasts in honor of ThanksgivingSubmitted by Shirley Beavin

St. Mary Magdalen

What do you call a large meal served at the noon hour?

We used to call our meal the “supper” as we held it during the evening hours.

I have been told it was actually held in earlier years on Thanksgiving Day.

I assume that was be-cause in our church com-munity it was not one of our Holy Days (ex. Christ-mas, Easter), but was a na-tional holiday instead.

We, being a church com-munity, found this to be a way to celebrate Thanks-giving.

As more people wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving with their own families, it was changed to an eve-ning meal on a Sunday.

Now it is the noon meal, catering to those who have attended services and now out for that delicious meal — so we call it a “feast”.

We served 676 carry-out meals and 482 dine-in meals, most in the fi rst two hours.

Next year we expect to add another serving line for carry outs as we knew people waited this year longer than we antici-pated, but it was a beauti-

ful day to socialize as our customers waited for adelicious meal.

We served it up with a smile and we had games to enjoy after the meal for others.

Court members also voted to accept Woodland Road into the county road system at the meeting.

The court also filled open slots on the Agriculture and Natural Resources and Family and Consumer Sci-ences boards. Members of the court also voted to ad-vertise a current job open-ing in the County Attorney’s office.

be a little different,” Pace said.“I’ve enjoyed my run and I hopefully will still play a role developing with the projects we work with. I just hope all of you stay the course. We’ve had to suffer some rough seas over the years, but if you stay the course, good things are going to hap-pen. I just think it’s time for somebody else to drive this boat.”

Pace will retain his board position in his capacity as Brandenburg mayor.

County representa-

tive Carl Austin also an-nounced his departure from the agency.

“I have served on the board for 12 years and there are several reasons I need to step down,” Austin said citing health issues with himself and his wife.

“It’s been a pleasure for me to serve in this capac-ity,” Austin said. “I am so excited a few years ago the board and the (Fiscal) Court made the decision to buy the property down on the river. It’s such an exciting time for us and I want to say to those of you serving on the board to keep your patience. There will be someone come forth that will be a boon

to this community. I don’t think there’s any question about that.”

The board will wait un-til Dec. 7 to reorganize its officers depending upon how Tuesday’s election might have an effect on its current members’ status. Pace will retain his role as chairman until that deci-sion is finalized.

Board members also dis-cussed an update on the Buttermilk Falls Park.

Pace reported the build-ings that have been left by Arch Chemical will not be able to be burned for environmental reasons. He added the idea of hav-ing them demolished and hauled off the property

was triple the cost of sim-ply burying the materials on the property.

He said there have been two bids received for the burying project for $11,000 and $9,700, but board mem-bers decided to table the decision awaiting further studies as to whether their might be a more economi-cal way to clear the site.

Board members were also given a report on the agency’s new initiative to advertise on the Internet.

The agency is now ex-perimenting with “paper clip advertising” which recognizes certain key words when a search is made and displays a link to the agency’s Web site.

help keep the kids busy, healthy, and happy.

The Ogletree sisters were able to have their father’s picture put on pillowcases with the help of a comput-er photo program and an ironing board.

“Now, I can remember him every night,” Lauren said as she snuggled her father’s picture.

The families also learned how to make picture mem-ory books, personalized picture frames, and the art of Christmas cookie decorations.

The Homemakers pro-vided a hot dog and chili supper for everyone to en-joy when they took breaks from all the activities.

It all came about because of Jennifer Bridge’s partici-

pation in the state’s “OK Military Kids committee.”

“I’ve helped do pro-gramming on the post at Fort Knox for several years now and one of the things we kept seeing is we do lots of programs related to kids, but we have little fo-cus on the adults,” Bridge said. “If the kids are hav-ing problems at home, it’s probably because Mom or Dad is under a lot of stress if they are the one left home.”

Bridge said the evening was an effort to let them

know there are organiza-tions that are there to help families cope with the stress.

Michelle Loya, the Alpha Company representative for Fort Knox, said events like this were “a wonder-ful thing.”

“This is a difficult time for them right now,” Loya said. “And to have some-thing like this that can help the entire family during these times is great.”

Bridge said she expects Meade County to host more events in the future.

Brandenburg City Coun-cil approved applications for two grants totaling $2 million for improvements to the city’s water treatment plant and storage facility.

If approved, the funds would come from the Commonwealth’s Eco-nomic Development Bond Grant program. Each grant would not exceed $1 million.

Mayor David Pace said this was necessary because of the increasing demand for water in the area.

Pace said the project to expand the water treat-ment plant started two years ago working with

the county and their water expansion needs.

“They came to us want-ing to buy more water and we were having situ-ations where at times we weren’t able to sell them everything they needed if the situation came up,” Pace said. “The plant was designed in the very be-ginning to be a two mil-lion gallon capacity fa-cility and (we have one million capacity now) we’re pumping as hard as we can — around 80 per-cent capacity a day.”

The mayor said this was the start of being able to sell more water to the county and “take care of the citizens.”

“If we had a big leak or

an issue somewhere, then everybody’s in trouble,” Pace said.

He did note the project would take more then the $1 million, but this would be the first step and there had been a lot of success in getting help from the county.

Pace said engineers had supplied preliminary numbers in the $3 mil-lion range, but “there was a lot of things we didn’t have to have” that have been pared down from the project.

He added all of the fig-ures were just preliminary and no bidding would be started until more funding could be guaranteed.

“We hope the cost will

be closer to $2 million if we get the bids right,” Pace said.

Concerning the water storage project, the may-or said it was needed as well.

“This is one we need whether we expand the plant or don’t expand the plant,” Pace said.

He said there were some $200,000 in funds that were left over from a previous project and he hoped the combination of those funds and the grant could completely fund the needed storage expansion.

“We just need more ca-pacity in the air,” Pace said, referring to building a new tower storage tank. “We now have 250,000 gal-

lons in the air and a million gallons in a clear well tank. The new one will give us more capacity for an out-age situation and help to increase some pressure. It would also allow us to sell more to the county without it having to be pumped all the time.”

A resolution was passed that formally relinquished any city control over the old state Highway 933.

“Once the state opens the new road, this will be turned over to the coun-ty,” Pace explained. “They just wanted verification the city didn’t have any ownership in that road or are wanting ownership in that road. The state owns it now. It was kind of a

trade off that when the new road was opened, the county would take the old one.”

The mayor said there were tentative plans in the works for an offi-cial opening of the new Highway 933 for Monday afternoon.

Council also approved a first reading of an or-dinance that approves a supplement to the city’s ordinance codes to bring them in line with current state laws.

Approval was also giv-en to permit full-time em-ployees a one-time salary adjustment of $400 and the city’s one part-time employee $200 for the holiday.

City of Brandenburg seeks $2 million for water improvements

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

Two schools were hon-ored at Tuesday night’s Meade County School Board meeting for being Energy Star efficient.

Ken Kessler, energy manager for Meade Coun-ty, presented two plaques to the school board for Ekron Elementary and Branden-burg Primary. Both schools rank in the top 22 Energy Star buildings in Kentucky.

Payneville Elementary barely missed being in line

for the award, Kessler said. He added that Flaherty Pri-mary would be eligible for the award next year.

According to its Web site, to be an Energy Star build-ing there must be practices in place that reduce operat-ing costs and greenhouse gas emissions without tradeoffs in performance or quality.

Kessler said they also take into consideration how much energy per square foot a school consumes.

The school board hopes

to make every school in the county close to Energy Star efficient as soon as possi-ble, said Rodney Pickering, director of building and grounds.

During the meeting, the board approved some ad-ditions to Flaherty Prima-ry. Superintendent Mitch Crump said that Pickering took his final walk through Flaherty Primary with an architect. Some of the ad-ditions to Flaherty Pri-mary include computer equipment, furniture and playground equipment.

In honor of breast can-cer awareness month, Meade County school officials and teachers reached out to the com-munity by selling t-shirts that said “Meade County: fighting for a cure.”

The idea for the t-shirts was sparked after Kellie Conley and Kar-en Cottrell asked teach-ers to pay $1 to wear jeans to work to raise money for breast cancer awareness. From there, the idea was expanded.

“This year we sold over 1,600 t-shirts,” said Karen Cottrell. “Some businesses even paid a

jean fee to wear jeans to work.”

To acknowledge their success, Cottrell, Con-ley and Laura Adkisson held a reception last Thursday at Branden-burg Primary. In keep-ing with the theme, pink and white cupcakes were served, along with pink punch and other hors d’oeuvres.

School officials, along with members from the community, were also on hand to award a check worth $10,323.15 to two Susan G. Komen representatives.

According to Cottrell, the shirts received so many compliments that they plan to do some-thing similar next year.

“I know some of the shirts were being sent out of state,” she add-ed.

Besides t-shirts, in memory of and in hon-or of cards were sold at schools. The cards were representative of a loved one who beat breast cancer or lost a battle.

This isn’t the first time the trio has raised money for breast cancer research.

In fact, this is their third year spreading as much awareness as they can.

After combining the last three years dona-tions, the trio has accu-mulated $19,645.08 for the cause.

records show he received contributions totaling $14,753 and spent $8,387.54 as of Oct. 18. His opponent, Becky Flaherty, had donations of $10,947 and dispersed $010,807 two weeks before election day.

In the race for county at-torney, Jessica Brown Rob-erts had $10,705 on hand and spent $9,126. Roberts defeated County Attorney Margaret Matney who re-ported $9,135 in receipts and used $5,319.

The jailers race candidates spent more than $10,000 be-tween them.

Incumbent Troy Seelye’s reports show he had $6,511 to fi nance his campaign and spent $5,230. Daryl Haynes reported a campaign ac-count of $7,679 with spend-ing of $6,057.

Numbers for the sheriff’s race are not complete, but show a total of $9,676 in spending.

Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick reported having $8,000 to spend for his re-election and had used $6,784 as of the reporting date. Cliff Wise’s reports had not all been processed, but show an account of $6,697 and spending of $2,892.

There was very little money spent on the magis-

trate races according to the registry’s online reports.

The only incumbent mag-istrate to have a fi nancial report posted is 3rd District Magistrate Mark Hubbard whose reported spending was $1,073.

Magistrate-elect Mitch Shortt, who defeated Her-bert Chism for the 2nd District seat, has a report showing $375 spent as ofOct. 18.

Spending was reserved for the candidates for state representative.

Incumbent Jeff Greer re-ported donations totaling $95,562 as of Oct. 29. Re-publican Dalton Jantzen’s report, as of Oct 18, showed total receipts of $17,413 and

but would help him and all other Meade Countyresidents.

He is not suggesting an increase of packaged li-quor stores, but feels open-ing up dry precinct lines to only include selling wine and beer by the glass in restaurants could be a po-tential boom to the local economy.

“I don’t think we need any more package liquor stores,” O’Bryan said. “It’s

more of a supply and de-mand thing, and people are demanding restaurants. Even if it’s restaurants that just serve wine and beer. A lot of people just want to be able to have a glass of wine or a beer sometimes when they sit down for a meal.”

The theory is that by expanding alcohol sales to include wine and beer by the glass in restaurants would attract the bigger named restaurants, and in turn would create more jobs within the county.

The increase in jobs could draw in new resi-

dents from outlying coun-ties, which could create a new tax base through the bigger population.

O’Bryan suggested that new businesses coupled with the ongoing BRAC ex-pansion could be a way for Meade County to expand on the economic benefi ts of the base expansion.

“The opportunities from attracting new businesses outside the Fort Knox ex-pansion area are there,” he said. “The wet/dry vote in Meade County could be the biggest job creator outside of BRAC that the county has seen in a number of years.”

Submitted by Health and Family Services Cabinet

Governor Steve Beshear has ordered Passport Health Plan to work with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), the Department for Medic-aid Services (DMS) and the Department of Insurance to immediately address issues raised in a report released today by the Au-ditor of Public Accounts (APA).

The issues relate to gov-ernance, lack of internal controls and transpar-ency, excessive spending and confl icts of interest by Passport offi cials.

Since 1997, DMS has contracted with Passport, a managed care program that provides Medicaid-covered services to select Medicaid eligible mem-bers in a 16-county region that includes Jefferson and surrounding counties.

“I am surprised and disappointed that an op-eration whose mission was and is to provide health care to vulnerable families, children, seniors and in-dividuals with disabilities would have spent precious dollars with such disregard for their source — the tax-payers,” said Gov. Beshear. “I am calling today for Passport to take immediate

steps to review its manage-ment and cease spending a single taxpayer dollar that is not absolutely necessary to provide quality health care services to Medicaid-eligible recipients.”

Gov. Beshear has directed CHFS Secretary Janie Mill-er, Acting Medicaid Com-missioner Neville Wise and Insurance Commissioner Sharon Clark to meet with the Board of Directors of Passport to develop an im-mediate plan to correct the practices addressed in the audit and tighten controls of the program.

“Passport must be ac-countable and transparent in its handling of these is-

sues. Funding for state agencies, in particular Medicaid, is scarce. Any waste of those dollars is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” said Gov. Beshear.

“The Cabinet is extreme-ly disappointed in the lack of fi nancial responsibil-ity demonstrated by Pass-port,” said CHFS Secretary Janie Miller. “It is essential that they work with us to restore our confi dence in Passport and return the plan to one of integrity, transparency and trust.”

Gov. Beshear also has ordered that a complete fi nancial audit of Passport and its major subcontrac-

tors be conducted as soon as possible to ensure tax-payers’ dollars are spent in accordance with the pro-gram’s original mission, which is to provide health care to Medicaid benefi -ciaries in an effi cient, cost-effective manner necessary to control growth in Med-icaid costs.

DMS has historically relied on annual indepen-dent audits of Passport that reported that the or-ganization had in place the proper fi nancial systems and fi nancial reporting necessary to assure the or-ganization was run appro-priately.

Related to contract ne-

gotiations, in response to the APA report, DMS will secure an external, independent and quali-fi ed consultant to perform a cost/benefi t analysis of the contract and to devel-op estimates of what the Medicaid costs would be in Region 3 through a fee-for-service program.

“Over the years, Pass-port has done many posi-tive things in the area of health care, but they clear-ly have wandered off the path of being good stew-ards of taxpayers’ dollars,” said Gov. Beshear.

“They must get back on the right path toward ful-fi lling their mission.”

We are in our third year of the 4-H Teen Leader-ship Academy.

The academy is a group project with Hardin, Lar-ue, Grayson, Breckinridge and Meade counties.

It is a great opportunity for 4-H members eighth grade to juniors in high school to learn about their communities, local and state government, career opportunities and com-munity service.

It also provides an op-portunity for teens to strengthen their leader-ship skills.

Graduates of the acade-my take on leadership roles within our 4-H program and also with their other activities such as, school, church and other youthorganizations.

This year’s academy delegates are: Alicia Lee, Kayla Dowell, Allie Millay, Kaylee Compton and Sa-mantha Weick.

Last month their com-munity service project took them to Grayson County where they spent the morning working in a preschool assisting teach-ers with their classes and helping set up Christmas decorations.

In the afternoon, they worked at a Methodist Church’s clothes closet sorting items for their Christmas store.

Meade County 4-H Poinsettias

The Meade County 4-H program is again selling poinsettias for the holiday season.

It is through this fund-raiser we will be able to keep the cost of the 4-H program at a minimum for our members.

Our funds have been drastically reduced be-cause of the added cost of project books, program fees and programming supplies.

So far we have been able to absorb the majority of these costs and not had to pass them along to our 4-Hers.

The cost of our poinset-tias will be the same as in 2007.

If one customer buys 30 or more they will receive a reduced price. This year’s colors are red, white, pink and marble.

The plants will be deliv-ered to the extension of-fice on December 8.

If you do not know a 4-H’er to purchase yours from, contact the Meade County Cooperative Ex-tension Service at 270-422-4958 to order yours today. Orders must be received by Nov. 30.

Veterans make up 10.4 percent of Kentucky’s pop-ulation according to the 2008 fi gures from the U.S. Census Bureau.

We have military mem-bers, including active duty, National Guard and Reserve, who are called up and deployed as the state and country needtheir help.

Deployment may be sudden or expected. When a deployment happens, it leaves a large hole in the heart and in the fam-ily’s daily habits, tasksand activities.

Sometimes even neigh-bors don’t realize the per-son is away on duty, but the families must cope with the absence the best way they can, which often puts added stress on chil-dren and spouses.

Not all deployments are combat related, but if

the person serves in com-bat, some issues can come up which affect a fam-ily’s well-being when theyreturn.

For returning military personnel, nightmares, sensitivity to sudden nois-es and physical ailments are common. To cope, many military families need ongoing support to help them get back to nor-mal, peaceful living.

Caring neighbors and community groups can make a positive difference in the lives of deployed and returned military members.

Recently, the Meade County Extension Home-makers and Family and Consumer Sciences pro-gram hosted a military appreciation event for de-ployed solder’s families.

Volunteer with Opera-tion Send Christmas, which is sending care packages to deployed troops. Mili-tary Missions in Lexing-ton, is collecting donations through November. Their telephone number is 859-

221-9477 and the Web site is www.opsend.org.

Acceptable donations in-clude personal care items, cards, puzzles, books, new magazines, drink mixes, hard candy, postage, Nerf balls, gift wrap and rib-bons. Items not accepted are razors, bar soap, Hal-loween candy and any-thing fl ammable.

Get involved with Ken-tucky’s Operation Mili-tary Kids (OMK) grant, which strives to foster un-derstanding of the unique issues facing children of military members. OMK offers trainings such as “Ready, Set, Go” and “Speak Out for Military Kids” to increase aware-ness of the needs of mili-tary families to commu-nity members who want to reach out to them. They also have educational re-sources you can borrow to learn more about working with military families and fun, hands-on activities and games you can use to host a program such as a military family fun day or

a military youth lock-in. OMK also has a mobile technology lab containing equipment like laptops, printers and camcorders that you can borrow to use with programs you are doing with or for military families, such as photo printing on pillowcases to send to a deployed family member or letter writing to thank a military child or service member. You can even become a part-ner with OMK by partici-pating in one of their re-gional support networksacross Kentucky.

Go to www.operation-militarykids.org for more information about these and more programs and resources available through Kentucky’s Operation Military Kids or contact Jennifer Bridge at the Meade County Exten-sion Offi ce. Jennifer serves on the State OMK steeringcommittee.

Military families, as well as soldiers, need our support

Most people eat more at Thanksgiv-ing dinner than they consume in a nor-mal day, and then continue overeating at year-end. So it helps to have a plan in place to avoid any holiday gobbling that you might pay for later.

Turkey, yams, mashed potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce are all nutri-tious, so long as lots of salt, sugar and butter haven’t been added to them, says Kathleen Duran-Thal, director of nutrition at Cooper Wellness Centerin Dallas.

An earlier study by researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases found that Americans usually gain only one pound during the winter holidays, but the weight put on then isn’t shed in the new year.

Those findings contradict many peo-ple’s views that they gain five to 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Researchers said the effects of weight gain at year-end, however, are worth worrying about because they con-tribute to increased weight over time.

Keeping weight stable in the fall and winter may help prevent age-related weight gain and associated diseases, says Dr. Riva Rahl, medical director at Coo-per Wellness. In addition to not looking or feeling top-notch, adults with excess weight are at greater risk of heart dis-ease, high blood pressure, diabetes and certain cancers, she says.

Cooper Wellness experts say to go ahead and enjoy your favorite Thanksgiv-ing foods, but consider making healthy choices at your turkey dinner. They offer some tips for keeping you from fiddling with your belt at the end of the meal.

1. First of all, don’t arrive at a Thanks-giving dinner hungry. Eat a good break-fast, and maybe even lunch that day.

2. Fill half your plate with vegetables, one quarter of it with lean meat, and one quarter with starches like mashed pota-toes and turkey dressing.

3. Choose white-meat turkey and avoid eating the skin.

4. Void gravy. Turkey doesn’t need to be smothered in gravy to taste good. If you want gravy, just drip a little on your meat and potatoes.

5. Limit yourself to small helpings of heavily sweetened yams and cranberry sauces.

6. Use restraint when dinner rolls are passed around. Buttered rolls may melt in your mouth, but they’re full of calo-ries, so eat only one.

7. Try sampling in moderation the many foods that you have looked for-ward to. And consider bringing some-thing healthy to the dinner, like a side dish that’s low in fat, sugar and salt.

8. Eat slowly. By eating Thanksgiving

dinner slowly, your body has time to reg-ister when it is full so that you don’t con-sume too much.

9. At dessert time, try to choose the lightest options. Pick pumpkin over pe-can pie, for example, and avoid 200 calo-ries in the process. Or just eat half a piece of pie, and pass on whipped toppings and ice cream. As dinner winds down over coffee, avoid any plates of addi-tional sweets that may be sitting on the table.

10. After Thanksgiving dinner, take a walk with your friends or family. Fifteen minutes of walking will get your blood circulating and can burn off 100 calories, says Susie Kania, exercise physiologist at Cooper Wellness. The fresh air will invig-orate you after a long stay at the table.

Tips for a happy, healthy Thanksgiving

Veterans for their Service. CelebrateVeteran's Day,� ank a Ve� ran!

By Casey TolliverThe News Standard

When it comes to work, Dale Pike would pick build-ing over any profession.

“It’s all I’ve ever done, it’s what I like doing. I just like to build stuff,” Dale said.

Pike, who is a local car-penter and roofer, who works with concrete, has been plying his trade since he graduated from high school, a trade, it could be argued, that he was born to do.

A passion for construc-tion work definitely must be imbedded in a gene in the Pike DNA.

Dale inherited the busi-ness from his father, Law-rence, who Dale worked with since he graduated high school until Lawrence gave him the business near-ly 10 years ago.

Dale and Sue’s son, Paul, works with his father while he’s not at school earning a degree in Diesel Technol-ogy. The possibility of Paul opting for a career in con-struction, working along-side his dad is not com-pletely out of the question, Dale said.

Over the years, other Pike relatives have donned tool belts and work boots and worked alongside Paul.

“At some time almost everybody who’s worked for us has had the same last name,” Sue said.

“Most of the time, family

can’t get along good enough (to work together), but we do,” Dale said, who added that working with his father wasn’t difficult at all. “A lot of time sons and fathers can’t get along. When I was on the job, he was the boss so you treat him like a boss out on a job.”

Another strand of the Pike DNA that proves to be a tool for success in the con-struction business is their perfectionist trait.

And according to Dale, it has run right down the line from his father, to him and now has been passed down to his son.

Sue insists that her role is merely that of a secre-

tary and bookkeeper, but it is obvious that she has a vested interest and en-joys her role in the com-pany as much as Dale likes his.

“I’ve been married to the guy for 21 years, you’ve got to be involved,” she said with a laugh.

Their passion for work and astute attention to de-tail have garnered much word-of-mouth publicity and developed a proven track record which keeps Pike Construction steady with work.

A bulk of the company’s jobs comes from repeat cus-tomers who have trusted the company with their

building projects for years, meaning Dale has jobs lined up well in advance, just like his father did.

“A lot of times, they’d call a year ahead of time and say ‘put me on the list’,” Dale said. “We do it the way they want, it satis-fies them.”

Though Dale is a sea-soned builder who relies on methods he learned and honed while working with his dad, he is not afraid to venture into the realm of new technologies in con-struction methods and materials.

While researching differ-ent materials when he built his own house, Dale stum-

bled upon insulated con-crete forms, or ICFs, which are preformed walls.

Concrete is poured into insulated forms, eliminat-ing the need four typical wood studs while provid-ing a sturdy structure.

After installing them on his home, Dale has em-braced the efficiency, prac-ticality and staying power of the ICFs — so much so, that he has begun installing them on houses he is build-ing locally.

ICF comes in many vari-eties, but Dale is the only certified NUDURA ICF in-staller in Meade County.

Installing the ICFs on homes is a cost efficient

measure, with the forms helping save homebuilders money on labor costs dur-ing installation, as well as decreased energy bills.

On new home construc-tion, he insists that ICFs are the right choice and the forms are being used in-creasingly because of their practicality.

“Further up north they’re doing them for the cold weather, they’re more insulated and even down south for the hur-ricanes, because the hurri-canes don’t tear them up,” Dale said.

Trusted contractor uses innovative technology

By David UffingtonDollars and Sense

The steps to protect your personal information from identity fraud are very simple: Keep spyware off your computer. Check your credit statements immedi-ately when they arrive, or if you have good computer anti-spyware software, check your online bills more frequently.

Use only your first ini-tials and last name on your bank checks. Stop your mail while you’re away. Use a shredder for trash that has your name on it. Check your credit reports to make sure there are no errors. Take mail to the post office instead of leaving it outside your home. Don’t put your Social Security number on a job application.

Still, even after taking all the safety steps, many peo-ple opt to purchase an iden-tity-theft protection service. These services, however, do not completely free you from risk.

In considering a protec-

tion service, you need to know:

•What services does the company provide? Some will monitor your personal information and see when it’s being used to apply for loans, credit cards or turn-ing on utilities. Others will have your name taken off pre-approved credit offers. Some will help you get all your credit cards replaced, should there be a lost or sto-len wallet. Others promise to protect you in the event information is stolen from your driver’s license num-ber, public records and in-surance records.

•How does it monitor your accounts? How are you notified if a breach in your security is detected?

•How much does the ser-vice cost? An average cost for these services is gener-ally in the neighborhood of $10 per month, although certain add-on features can raise that price.

•If you’re the victim of identity theft, what services will the company provide to help you?

•What is the uppermost level of their insurance, should fraud occur and they have to do the work to restore your credit?

•For a real-world look at how identity-theft pro-tection works, go online to www.pcworld.com and put this title in the search box: Identity-Theft Protec-tion: What Services Can You Trust?

Although the article is a few years old, the steps tak-en to test various identity-theft companies are worth noting.

The point is that no company, no matter what it promises, can keep you completely safe. You need to take the initial steps to safeguard your personal in-formation.

Submitted by North Ameri-can Livestock Exposition

Louisville — Gracie Fack-ler, of Battletown, has entered one head of saler in the beef division of the 37th annual North American Interna-tional Livestock Exposition (NAILE). The NAILE is rec-ognized as the world’s largest purebred livestock show with more than 22,000 entries and nearly $700,000 in prizes and awards. Scheduled for Nov. 16-19, the event takes place at the Kentucky Exposition Cen-ter in Louisville.

Purebred farms from nearly every state and Canada bring livestock to compete in one of 10 expo divisions: dairy cattle, dairy goats, Boer goats, beef cattle, quarter horses, draft horses, mules and donkeys, sheep, swine and llamas and alpacas.

More than 200,000 Ameri-can and foreign visitors attend the hundreds of individual breed shows, sales and events. In addition to the recognition and prize money that comes with winning at the NAILE, the value of the champion breeding stock is significantly enhanced.

Breed association events are not the only NAILE feature.

The expo is also home to numerous youth events that are an important part of the livestock industry’s tradi-tions, including: Eastern Na-tional 4-H Horse Roundup; Youth, Junior College and Senior Collegiate Dairy Judg-ing Contest; Dairy Quiz Bowl; National Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest; National 4-H Livestock Judging Con-test; Junior College Livestock Judging Contest; and Na-tional 4-H Poultry and Egg Conference.

Additionally, youth exhibi-tors enter market animals, those targeted for meat pro-duction, in the Junior Steer Show, Junior Market Swine Show or Junior Wether Show.

These youth shows are sponsored by Farm Credit Services of Mid-America and are nationally recognized for both the quality of competi-tion and prestige of winning. Champions from these shows are sold at the Sale of Champi-ons on Nov. 18 at 6 p.m.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Great Lakes Circuit Rodeo Fi-nals takes place Nov. 11-13 at 7:30 p.m. nightly.

Tickets for the international finals rodeo are $20 on Thurs-

day, $30 on Friday and $32 for Saturday’s performance.

Children under 12 get in for $10 on Friday and Saturday with a paid adult.

Tickets are available at Tick-etMaster.com or by calling 502-361-3100 or 800-745-3000.

From the 200,000 square foot giant country store and food court, to the entertaining PRCA Rodeo, NAILE visitors

find lots to do and see in addi-tion to attending the livestock competitions.

The NAILE is produced by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the Kentucky State Fair Board. It is held at the Commonwealth’s giant Kentucky Exposition Center, which features over 1,200,000 square feet of climate-con-trolled exhibition space.

Meade County FFA mem-bers attended the National FFA Convention held October 20 - 23 in Indianapolis, Ind..

The chapter left for conven-tion on Tuesday October 19 after school and arrived later that evening.

On Wednesday, the chap-ter was up bright and early to go to the National FFA Career Show and FFA Mall. These events were held in the Indianapolis Conven-tion Center. Many companies and organizations were there for FFA members to visit. Some of included, Carhartt, Dodge, RFD-TV, Great Amer-ican Country, Oscar Mayer, Monsanto, Purina, The Na-tional Agriculture Educa-tors, many colleges and other organizations.

Many of the exhibitors were giving away free items such as blue jeans, t-shirts, bags, pho-tos, and more expensive items such as iPads, TV’s, comput-ers and much more.

One thing that many FFA members enjoyed was seeing the Oscar Mayer wiener mo-bile. Members were able to tour the vehicle.

There was also a huge FFA mall for members to go through. Many of the items sold were FFA apparel and other items that go along with FFA. If you wanted an item more than likely you could find it in the FFA mall.

The convention was not just all fun, many chapters were competing in competitions.

There were also sessions

to attend. These events were held in Conseco Fieldhouse.

The keynote speaker was Josh Shipp. He is a motiva-tional speaker that started speaking at 17 years old. Shipp gave a very inspiring speech to the attendees of the convention.

Other speakers at the ses-sions would include Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education and National FFA Officers also gave their retir-

ing addresses. Lastly members were able

to hear Dr. Larry Case’s re-tiring address. After serving as National FFA Advisor for the past 26 years, he spoke of some of the highlights of his time as national advisor.

The theme for the Conven-tion was “Infinite Potential.” All the speakers stressed on the point that we all have the ability to do something if we put our minds to it.

Meade County FFA was awarded the National Three Star award. This is a very prestigious award that re-quires hours of work.

A lengthy application has to be filled out that looks at many different aspects of the chapter.

The main items focused on are; chapter develop-ment, community develop-ment and student develop-ment. The award does not

focus on any one person, it’s the chapter as a whole.

The state of Kentucky was only allowed to send 14 chapters on to the national contest. Meade County FFA was one of the 14. Once at the national level, only about 650 or 2 percent of all chapters are ranked at the three star level.

Only four chapters in Ken-tucky were ranked as three star and Meade County was

one of them. Meade County FFA has

been ranked three star for many years now. Dalton Waters and Aurora Laslie accepted the award for the chapter. The chapter re-ceived a plaque and $500 for their achievements.

There were also many other fun activities planned for the Meade County FFA members.

On Wednesday night, the chapter attended the Lady Antebellum and Easton Corbin concert, held in Lucas Oil Stadium. All the chap-ter members enjoyed the concert.

On Thursday night, the chapter ate at Jillians, a res-taurant and arcade located in downtown Indianapolis. After Jillians, members were able to enjoy seeing down-town Indianapolis and some of its landmarks.

Dalton Waters, Chapter president said, “we would like to thank everyone for attending and being on their best behavior” while at convention.

Members that attended the 2010 National FFA Con-vention were; Dalton Wa-ters, Aurora Laslie, Makayla Phillips, Ashley Funk, Tay-lor DeWitt, Brian Chism, Dani Latondress, Jenna McKinney, Lisa Hurt, Kee-sha Fowler, Sara Basham, Keslie Bewley, Kayla Funk, Wes Dowell, Shelby Zoch-leinm Kayla Keith and Natalie Spink. Chapter ad-visors attending were Jer-emy Hall, Josh Mitcham and Noel Pack.

The girls’ cross-country team saved some of its best races for the biggest meet of the year at regionals Nov. 6 at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park.

With the Lady Waves peaking at the right time of the season, fi ve of its seven girls ran personal best times on E.P. Tom Sawyer Park’s fl at and fast race course to help put Meade County in a second place tie with Bullitt Central. Manual fi nished in fi rst place behind twin sisters fi rst and second place fi nishers Kristen and Cassidy Hale and Sarah Barker in third place.

Meade County and Bullitt Central’s top fi ve runners were tied for second place with 79 points apiece. The tiebreaker was de-termined by the place of each team’s sixth team runner.

With the task of surviving one of the toughest cross-country regions and goals of advancing to the state meet staring them in the face, the Greenwave boys’ team found themselves facing an-other unexpected challenge at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park Re-gional Meet on Nov. 6.

With top teams such as St. Xavier, Butler, Manual and Male High School al-ready standing in its way, the Greenwave suffered an untimely illness to their number two runner Tyler Blair days leading up to the regional meet.

Blair’s illness forced him to miss school the Friday before the meet, leaving his team wondering what they

could expect from one of their most dependable run-ners in the crucial race.

With Blair’s illness, the Greenwave relied on its team to pull them through the regional competition for a fourth place fi nish which was just good enough to send them to the State meet tomorrow at the Lexington Kentucky Horse Park. The top four teams in Region 3 AAA qualifi ed for tomor-row’s state race.

Butler High School’s Tretez Kinnaird won the meet with the best individu-al time of 15:53, helping the Bears place second behind St. Xavier’s fi rst place fi n-ish and ahead of Manual’s third place.

Meade County head coach Larry Garner said the timing of Blair’s illness was

unfortunate, but it couldn’t be an excuse for his team not giving a top perfor-mance in the biggest meet at this point in the season.

“I was out there yelling at him to keep pushing, be-cause we needed him,” Gar-ner said.

Zach Bowen led the Greenwave with a 12th place fi nish and a team low time of 16:49. Nathan Bates placed 13th, Dakota Wal-decker 18th, Tyler Breeds 20th and Blair rounded out Meade County’s top fi ve with a 26th place fi nish.

“It stands out that Tyler Blair was sick all week and he had a rough day,” Gar-ner said. “He ran hard and was still able to fi nish in ourtop fi ve.”

The Meade County boys’ and girls’ swim team has dove into the pool this sea-son looking to achieve a lofty goal of making it to the state swim meet.

First year head coach C.J. Kirk takes over the reigns of the MCHS swim team with plans of helping prepare the team to reach its goal of making the state meet. Kirk is also an assistant coach of the football team and base-ball team at Meade County.

The swim team started its training for the season at the beginning of the school year with fi ve mile daily runs helping prepare the swim-mers for the year.

Meade County opened its season with an exhibition meet on Oct. 30 at Shelby County. The boys’ team fi n-ished in third place and the girls’ placed eighth, helping the overall team fi nish fi fth at the meet.

Savannah Buckey be-lieved the scrimmage meet at Shelby County was a positive building block for the swim team head-ing into their first meets of the season.

“It was good because it gave us a chance to get back in the water,” Buckey said. “It helped show our younger swimmers what we expect.”

The Meade County Greenwave (7-4) football team advanced to the second round of the Ken-tucky State Playoffs with a 41-16 victory against visiting Paul Lau-rence Dunbar High School (1-10) on Nov. 5 at Hamilton Field.

After last week’s sluggish fi rst half offensive performance against Butler, the Greenwave’s dominant rushing attack came out fi ring on all cylinders against Paul Dunbar.

With the Greenwave defense stopping the Bulldogs on a fourth down play on the opening drive of the game, Meade County’s of-fense took advantage of its op-portunity to take the early lead with the rushing of quarterback Thomas Wilson and running back Max Cundiff.

Wilson’s 29-yard run on a third-and-twelve play set up two Cun-diff rushes, the second a 9-yard thundering run down the left side of the fi eld knocking defend-ers out of his path as he charged ahead into the end zone.

The rushing attack would prove to be too much for the vis-iting Bulldogs as the Greenwave would fi nish the game with 304 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on the night.

Wilson led Meade County with 131 rushing yards and a touch-down on 11 carries as he broke away from the Bulldog defend-ers throughout the night averag-ing 11.9 rushing yards per carry. Cundiff fi nished with 83 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Bulldogs.

The third member of the Meade County backfi eld Rex Liverman added 77 rushing and two touch-downs along with an 66-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on a pivotal play during the sec-ond half.

McKnight by 52 seconds during the regional meet.

With the top four teams in the region advancing to tomorrow’s state meet in Lexington, the Lady Waves are riding high with confi-dence for their final meet of the season.

“We came in with a plan,” Garner said. “They listened today, they came in with confidence and we had talk-ed about running as a team and placing yourself in front of certain people.”

Meade County stuck to Garner’s plan of placing themselves ahead of certain runners from other teams and didn’t crack under the pressure of the big race. Not letting the atmosphere get to the team could have proven to be a problem for the Lady Waves, who placed a sev-enth grader and two eighth graders in their top six.

“I’m so proud of them for running smart today,” Garner said. “They believed they could (finish at the top) and didn’t let pressure get to them and realized they just

needed to go out there and run.”

Eighth grader Mary Kate Powers was the Lady Waves fourth top runner, finishing in 18th. Powers acknowl-edged she knew she had to give her all for her team but felt some of the added pres-sure from competing in such a big race.

“There was a lot of pres-sure, I just gave it my all,” Powers said. “As an eighth grader I felt the pressure, so I’m kind of surprised how well I have done this year. Today I just was trying to stay in front of a couple of the girls and help the team.”

Frye, whose sixth place finish played the pivotal role in the Lady Waves suc-cess at regions, credited the older girls on the team with helping the middle school runners be successful this season.

“They help carry us along and show us what to do,” Frye said. “I just went out and gave everything I had and it feels good I was able to help my team.”

Freshman Kaylea Neal led the Lady Waves with a time of 20:34 and an 8th

place finish. Destiny Tim-mons was the Lady Waves’ second place runner fin-ishing 15th, followed by Tiffany Brown’s 17th. Rounding out the top five runners for Meade County was Danielle Fabel in 21st place.

With a second place fin-ish at regions under their belt, the Lady Waves have their eyes set on a top fin-ish tomorrow.

“Coming in three weeks ago, I would’ve said we had no chance at top ten in state,” Garner said. “Right now it’s a possibil-ity. If they set up and run like they did today we could run in the top ten.”

For the Lady Waves to achieve a top ten fin-ish, it will depend on the younger girls’ handling the challenge of running in the pressure pack race. The confidence from the re-gional meet should be just what the Lady Waves need to finish on a high tide.

“I know if I can do it at regions, then I can run well at state,” Powers said.

The girls meet starts at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Lexington Horse Park.

field, head coach Larry Mo-field was able to keep the Bull-dogs guessing who would be coming out of the backfield with the football.

“It makes my job a lot easier (having three top runners),” Mofield said. “Coaching is overrated to a point. Players make plays, that’s what hap-pened tonight.”

The decision to share the running load among Wilson, Cundiff and Liverman seems has been accepted by the three players sharing time in the Greenwave backfield.

“I love having them back there,” Liverman said. “Any-thing can happen (with us three) back there on any play.”

Though the Greenwave were able to run at will against the Bulldogs, Paul Dunbar quarterback Blake Martin caused the Greenwave fits

with his running ability. Martin scored his first

touchdown on the night tying the score at 7-7 with a 4-yard run on the Bulldogs first drive after the Meade County touchdown. Martin account-ed for 77 yards on the drive, running for 35 and passing for 42 yards.

For the game, Martin rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns on 34 attempts. Martin also completed 13 of 20 passes for 163 yards for Paul Dunbar.

Coming into the game, Mo-field knew his team would have a tough task of trying to stop Martin’s play-making abilities from the quarterback position.

“He is an outstanding play-er,” Mofield said.

Martin was able to make a number of big plays when it seemed Meade County had him bottled up for no gains or a loss, similar to Meade County’s Wilson’s scrambling runs.

“He’s not as fast as Thomas

but he is just as tough,” Mo-field said. “Martin was really running their offense well to-night.”

Liverman joined the action on Meade County’s next pos-session breaking a big run for 25 yards, setting up his first touchdown of the game. Two plays later Liverman punched into the end zone on a 2-yard run early in the second quarter.

Paul Dunbar marched down the field on its next pos-session but came up empty when the Bulldogs’ field goal kicker Matt Purracchio missed a 32-yard field goal attempt.

“We kind of had a bend but don’t break (mentality tonight),” Mofield said, of the Greenwave defense.

The Greenwave offense took advantage of Paul Dun-bar’s offensive miscue, driv-ing the ball down the field to the Bulldogs 10-yard line where it appeared the Bull-dogs might stop the Meade County drive.

Meade County faced a

fourth down, needing six yards for the first down, but committed a holding penalty on Wilson’s 10-yard run. The penalty pushed the Green-wave back 10 yards and forced a fourth-and-19 play from the Bulldogs 23-yard line.

Meade County made the decision to go for the touch-down instead of attempting the field goal by putting the ball in Wilson’s hands.

The Bulldogs brought de-fensive pressure against the Greenwave offense as Wilson stepped back to pass. The offensive line gave Wilson enough time as he connected with Brady Smith for the 23-yard touchdown pass, giving Meade County a 21-7 lead late in the first half.

Wilson threw only three passes on the night but con-nected on all three attempts for 52 yards.

“We take what the defense will give you,” Mofield said. “We didn’t have to throw it but when we did throw it our offensive line was able to pro-tect well for us.”

The Bulldogs’ Puracchio was able to hit a 37-yard field goal attempt with 4 seconds remaining in the first half to pull the Bulldogs closer 21-10.

Martin’s relentless play help set up the field goal as he connected on all five of his passing attempts of the final Paul Dunbar possession in the first half.

At halftime, Mofield said it was hard to read how his players would react coming out in the second half.

“They were quiet and didn’t say much,” Mofield said. “I was hoping they were focused (to start the second half).”

The Greenwave players quickly quieted his worries about their play for the sec-ond half as it only took Meade County seven plays to score on its opening drive of the second half.

With Cundiff and Liver-man lined up beside Wilson in the backfield. Liverman took the handoff sweeping to the right side of the field, blowing by Bulldog defend-ers as he marched 22 yards for the touchdown.

“Getting that one on the opening drive was huge for

us,” Mofield said.Liverman said much of the

credit on the score goes to his offensive line and their ability to make the room he needed on the run.

“They had them blocked and gave me the big holes I needed,” Liverman said.

Liverman’s speed and his teammates’ physical block-ing would prove to play a pivotal role for the Green-wave on one of its biggest offensive possessions against Paul Dunbar.

The Bulldogs pulled within 28-16, with a 1-yard Martin touchdown run.

Paul Dunbar kicked the ensuing kickoff to the out stretched hands of Liver-man who was standing at the Greenwave 34-yard line.

Liverman raced down the left side of the field running behind Greenwave blockers. With Meade County’s special team’s unit leading the way blocking along with Liver-man’s lightening speed, he took the kickoff 66 yards for the touchdown.

“That was my first one of the season,” Liverman said. “It took me all season to get that and I wanted to get it real bad. I got some good blocks and I had to turn it into a touchdown.”

Liverman’s kickoff return late in the third quarter all but finished off the rambunctious Bulldogs.

“Rex’s return was big be-cause we had a hard time stopping their offense,” Mo-field said.

Wilson added one more Greenwave touchdown when he took a quarterback draw and raced down the middle of the Bulldog defense for the 21-yard touchdown for the final score.

Meade County faces off against Lafayette (6-5) tonight in the second round of the state playoffs at 7:30 p.m.

Johnson expects Chase to go down to finish linesaid he has been pleased

with the effort his team has given every day as they try to improve their swim times.

“I really like how they all have shown a good work ethic,” Kirk said. “They have all bought in. They know if we are going to do anything special you have to put the work in. The best part is we have 35 kids and they all want to be on the swim team. They have a sense of pride to wear the letterman jacket because of all the hard work they have put in.”

Competition for spots on the boys and girls relay teams has lead to spirited practices

amongst the Meade County swimmers.

“They are really pushing each other for spots on the relay teams,” Kirk said. “The kids know the swimmers on the relay team have a great chance of making it to state, so they are just trying to sur-vive to make it on the team.”

This season, the Meade County swim team will lean on their returning experience from last year’s team to try to make it to state.

“Most of our swimmers have experience and the young kids are good,” Kirk said. “The boys didn’t lose much from last year and the top lane swimmers are back.”

Seniors Scott King and Ben Bevill will play key parts in helping lead the boys team

to a successful season this year.

“I think we have potential and we are progressing good to this point,” King said. “We have a good chance at quali-fying for state in a couple races this year. Six or seven of our guys have four years of experience that will help us.”

Besides just making it to state this year, Kenzie Mills is pushing herself to break a school record of 1:02.39 in the freestyle swim.

“She has a good chance of breaking the record this year, she has really pushed herself hard to achieve the record,” Kirk said.

Meade County boys’ and girls’ swim team has its first regular season meet Nov. 16 at Gammon Physical Fitness Center in Fort Knox.

Garner was pleased with the way his other top four runners raced and helped carry the team during Blair’s illness.

“Our other top four run-ners’ ran an amazing race today,” Garner said. “We had a good day, it’s just that Butler and Manual had an exceptional day.”

Blair’s ability to fight through his cold and still compete well for his team left a lasting impression on his teammates.

“It was hard to watch him have to race like that,” Waldecker said. “He worked his hardest to help

us today. It means a lot to us that he would come out here and work like he did because we really needed him.”

With the Greenwave achieving their first goal of qualifying for the state meet, the team has one last goal they’re looking to accomplish.

“We want to finish in the top five at state but we will have to run perfect,” Garner said. “ The goal was to get in, so we will look ahead and see what happens.”

Reaching their lofty goals will be a difficult task for the Greenwave but it’s something Garner and his team are looking forward to attempting.

“Our team is better on

the state level because we compete against the high-est level of runners,” Gar-ner said. “ Running against the top competition has put us in the position of being a top team every year. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

When asked what it would take to reach the top five level at state, Bates said it came down to one simple task.

“We will need to step it up,” Bates said.

With a top four finish in regions accomplished and a week of rest for Blair, the Greenwave will see if they can reach one final goal of the cross-country season.

The meet starts at 2:15 p.m. tomorrow at the Lex-ington Horse Park.

By Monte Dutton

Supposedly, NASCAR officials are contemplat-ing an offseason change in the Chase for the Sprint Cup that would provide some sort of elimination process.

Based on the current Chase, it sort of takes care of itself.

Seven races into the 10-race Chase, the crowd at the top is noteworthy. Never have three driv-ers been locked in such a tight battle, with 38 points separating Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick.

But, with the great “wild card” (Talladega) behind them, the race has been effectively lim-ited to those three. Four-time champion Jeff Gor-don is fourth but trails Johnson by 207 points. Clint Bowyer, the winner of the Amp Energy Juice 500 — and only driver to win twice during the Chase to date — brings up the rear, 367 points behind Johnson. Gor-don, Kyle Busch, Carl

Edwards, Tony Stew-art, Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle and Bowyer all are far off the pace entering the remaining races in Fort Worth, Texas; Avon-dale, Ariz.; and Home-stead, Fla.

Johnson has won the past four Sprint Cup championships, an un-precedented achieve-ment, but in each of his past titles, Johnson took a decent cushion into the final race. He doesn’t ex-pect that to be the case this time.

“The way it’s gone, I better be prepared for (winning) the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway,” said John-son. “If I’m not, then we aren’t doing our jobs. The last couple years down there, we’ve made sure that we had pace in our car and speed. Last year we won the pole, finishing sixth [ac-tually fifth]. Ran good, had a strong night being conservative.

“I feel like coming to Homestead this time,

we need to race for this thing, which I’m pretty confident we’re going to have to do.”

At Talladega, Harvick finished second, John-son seventh and Hamlin ninth. Harvick has the most top-10 finishes (23). Johnson and Harvick each have 15 top-five finishes. Hamlin has the most victories (7), one more than Johnson.

After Talladega, where Hamlin managed to come back from being a lap down to the leaders, he said, “It looked like ev-eryone broke even. I lost a little to the ‘48’ (John-son), lost to the ‘29’ (Har-vick), but still it wasn’t anything detrimental.”

Kentucky Department of Fish/Wildlife Resources

FRANKFORT, Ky. – With modern gun sea-son opening statewide on Nov. 13, hunters must know the prop-er way to dispose of their deer carcass after processing.

Leaving the remains on the property where you harvested the deer is the best dis-posal method. If you are hunting on another person’s property, ask the landowner where you can dispose of the deer’s carcass and offer to bury it.

Respect the land-owner’s wishes. Deer hunters should never throw deer remains alongside the road or onto someone else’s property without per-

mission. “Disposing it on the side of the road is not a good idea, it’s littering,” said Tina Brunjes, deer and elk program coordinator for the Kentucky De-partment of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

“This practice makes hunters look bad.

Nobody wants to see or smell a deer car-cass. Be considerate of others.”

Check the local laws to see if you can dis-pose of the carcass through garbage collec-tion. Some counties or municipalities allow it, some don’t.

“Just because you’ve taken a deer, that doesn’t mean its over,” Brunjes said. “Dispos-ing of the carcass is part of the process of deer hunting.”

This is the time of year when the core will start drain-ing the water out of the reser-voirs in order to prepare for spring rains that will come next season.

The effect it will have on fish and fishermen will change daily until the water will get to winter pool. Until then, an angler must adapt and watch the current condi-tions in order to stay where the bass and bait are at.

At this time of year, the shad are scattered through-out the lake. A lot of them be-ing in the back of the creeks. I prefer the creeks because they will still have a flow-ing creek channel instead of one that may be silted in. I like going to the back one third of the creek and follow-ing the creek channel its self fishing the edge or lip of the drop that the creek its self has created then casting upon the flat and fishing into the chan-nel itself.

The reason I like these

types of creeks is that it will allow the fish to migrate back into and out of the creek with plenty of deeper water to use, compared to a creek that has been silted in. Creeks that are silted in will scatter the fish and also more than likely not have as big of population of bass in it.

I like to fish these creek channels by staying in the channel and working my way all the way to the back of the creek, until my boat gets stuck on the bottom and can’t go any further. Trust me I go as far back as possible. I have been known to come across what I call a riffle where the water get’s shallow, a foot deep or less and then in 30 yards there is another deep pool that I can see that may be 6 or 7 foot deep. I will get out and push my boat over the riffle if I need to, I will plow my way back to this deeper water. And sometimes I will find a whole school or maybe just one or two isolated fish in that area.

So many times in my ca-reer I have done this and

those one or two quality bass that I have caught has won the tournament for me. Let me warn that if you decide to go back to these type places you will bang or scratch up the bottom of your boat so use caution. The shallow rif-fle will be mostly rocks when you cross them.

The lure that produces the best for me is a Lucky Craft RC1.5 and RC2.5 crankbait in a shad color or if the water is stained.

I go to something with some chartreuse in it. Also have a top water tied on at this time of year. There will be bass chasing the shad and busting them on the surface, so something like a Sammy in a shad pattern will get me those strikes.

I then will look for any type of cover I can find from docks, stumps, anything that you can see with your eye or your depth finder will prob-ably have a bass on it.

This is why I use Costa Sunglasses; they are the best when it comes to seeing un-der water objects The stumps

that will be a little deeper are the ones that I catch the big-ger bass on.

I also love my GPS at this time of year, not just in the summer when I’m fishing deep structure’s. So many times you’re going to be fish-ing a huge flat with a creek channel that is no wider than your boat.

So my GPS mapping will show me this channel as it swings across the flat. This is so important, because I used to always get to shallow and stir up mud and silt as I worked my way back, spook-ing a lot of fish.

Until I knew the channel like the back of my hand this has always been a problem, but not any more, thanks to my Hummingbird and Navi-onics mapping I can stay in the channel and catch twice as many fish.

Workshops offered by Fish and WildlifeKentucky Department of

Fish and Wildlife Re-sources

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Learn how to transform gourds into birdhouses at the Salato Wildlife Educa-tion Center in Frankfort from 1 – 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20.

The center, operated by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Re-sources, promotes wild-life conservation educa-tion through programs and workshops such as this. Birdhouses benefit resident birds.

During this workshop, Salato staff will help participants choose the right size gourd to at-tract the type of birds that they want, such as purple martins, wrens and chickadees.

Salato Center staff will provide the gourd, paint and paint brushes for at-tendees to create their own masterpieces. With the hol-iday season right around the corner, a gourd bird-house makes a perfect gift. The cost of the program is $15 with registration and pre-payment required.

The Salato Center has a variety of native animals for the public to see, in-cluding a black bear, an

eagle, bobcats, elk, deer, bison, snakes and fish. The center has numerous indoor exhibits and miles of hiking trails open to the public. Fishing is available at two lakes.

While some programs may require a registration fee, general admission to the Salato Center is free.

Trivia Test

Paws CornerCat Goes Everywhere But the Litter Box

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My house cat “Snowball” has been having problems urinating in places other than her litter box. She loves rugs, towels, my daughters’ beds, pillows and even her own bed. The vet suggested getting another litter box. She now has two. She will urinate on something within 1 foot of a litter box.

I read in your column that cats that do this could have a urinary-tract infection or diabetes. Snowball was treated for six weeks for a urinary infection and still continues to urinate outside of her box. I took her back to the vet to be tested again for urinary-tract infection and diabetes. Both tests were negative. The vet thinks she’s just mad at us. I’m tired of this happening. Any suggestions? — Michelle S., via e-mail

DEAR MICHELLE: There’s usually a good reason for a cat urinating regularly outside the litter box, and being “just mad” is probably not one of them. You did the right thing by having her checked and treated for a urinary tract infection, and checked for more serious diseases, so you’ve eliminated a physical issue that may have initiated the problem. Now it’s time to address the behavioral issue — which has nothing to do with Snowball resenting you, but more to do with an association she’s formed.

First, get rid of both litter boxes (yes, the new one too). Thoroughly clean the area where they were located, and then get a new box. Next, monitor Snowball closely. As soon as she starts urinating anywhere oth-er than her box, simply pick her up and place her in the box. Use sooth-ing, encouraging language. She may be associating the box with the pain of her urinary-tract infection, so you need to reintroduce her to it.

Remember also to thoroughly clean the areas that Snowball has uri-nated using an enzyme cleaner developed specifically for pet cleanup. It’s available at pet stores. If she’s urinated on carpet, you may need to treat the padding underneath as well.

Q: I remember awhile back you reported that “Avatar” star CCH Pounder told you that there would be a sequel. Is that still in the works, or was it just wishful thinking? — Travis G., via e-mail

A: Would I, or CCH Pounder, ever steer you wrong? There are actually TWO “Avatar” sequels in the works. 20th Century Fox hopes to have the first of the as-of-now-untitled sequels in theaters by December 2014, with the third movie released the following De-cember 2015. Director/

visionary James Cameron released this statement: “In the second and third films, which will be self-contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of ‘Avatar’s’ visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world.”

Q: When is HBO’s “Big Love” coming back for its fifth season? — Justine D., via e-mail

A: The hit drama series about a Salt Lake City businessman (played by Bill Paxton) and his three wives (Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin) will return for its fifth and final season on Jan. 16.

Q: I love watching “Family Feud” and think Steve Harvey is do-ing great, but what happened with John O’Hurley? Why did he leave? He was a terrific host! — Gina T. in Texas

A: I spoke with John recently to talk about his other hosting du-ties, that of the ninth-annual National Dog Show presented by Purina (which airs on Thanksgiving Day after the Macy’s Parade), and he told me the reason behind his departure: “I had a wonder-ful time hosting ‘Family Feud.’ They wanted to move the show to Orlando, but with my child responsibilities here that just wasn’t going to happen. So, I just have to look at it as four phenomenal years. I miss the show dearly, but it frees me up to do so many other things. I’m back on Broadway, and will be heading back to Broadway again, and those are things that I just couldn’t do as freely when I was committed to ‘Family Feud.’” John is very grate-ful that you enjoyed him on the show, as well as the MANY other readers who wrote in to me to tell me that they missed him.

Q: I read that they were making a sequel to “Napoleon Dyna-mite.” Is that true? — Flint M., Akron, Ohio

A: It’s not exactly a sequel. Fox has ordered six episodes of an animated version of the 2004 cult hit, which starred Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez (as Napoleon and his friend Pedro). Efren told me that one episode is already in the can and that everyone is thrilled with it. He told me that “it appeals to everybody, and it’s funny. It’s got all of the original cast and the original writers. And it’s Fox, and as you know, Fox does a great job with animated series.”

• Snakes are sometimes born with two heads, but they don’t survive long. It seems the heads fight each other for food.• Pregnant women might be particularly interested in the follow-ing: The animal that is pregnant the longest is the African elephant, with an average gestation period of 660 days (though some preg-nancies can last up to 100 days longer). The record for shortest gestation period is held jointly by three marsupials, including the American opossum, which remain pregnant for only 12 to 13 days.• During this season of excess, it might be worthwhile to remem-ber that the typical holiday meal contains more than 3,000 calories. It also might be worthwhile to remember that the suggested daily intake of calories for men is 2,500; for women it’s 2,000.• Americans’ collective annual tab for dry-cleaning services comes to approximately $8 billion.• If you’re an arachnophobe, you might not want to read the follow-ing tidbit of information: Scientists in Madagascar recently discovered a new species of bark spider that spins webs over rivers and other bodies of water. What makes these webs noteworthy is that they are the largest ever recorded, measuring up to 82 feet across.• Zachary Taylor, the 12th presi-dent of the United States, let his horse graze on the lawn of the White House.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This year, instead of jumping into the whole holiday preparation scene, move in a little at a time. You’ll appreciate the sense of control you’re more likely to enjoy.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The separation between the Bo-vine’s head and heart is never as far apart as it seems. Both senses work best when they come out of logic and honesty.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The best way to keep those pre-holi-day pressures under control is to just say no to taking on new tasks while you’re still trying to work with a heap of others.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) News means a change might be on its way, but what does it hold? Don’t just ask questions; make sure you get answers you can trust.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Old friends and new have one thing in common: Both your longtime and newly minted pals have much wisdom to impart.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With time running out, this is a good time for you to show ‘em all what those Virgo super-organiza-tional skills can do.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Librans and holidays are made for each other, especially if children and animals are going to be part of your joyous season.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Time is getting too short to allow a spat to taint the holiday season. Restart your re-lationship and reschedule holiday fun times.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Seeking advice is laudable. You might learn far more than you thought you could. Stay with it.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Continuing to assess changes works toward your getting your new project up and ready. Trusted colleagues remain ready to help.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new situation needs a lot of attention, but it’s worth it. This is a very good time for you to involve the arts in what you do.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It might be a good idea to slow your hectic holiday pace so that you don’t rush past what — or who — you’re hoping to rush toward.BORN THIS WEEK: Others pick up on your confidence in yourself, which inspires others to believe in you and your special gifts.

Stuart Pepper Middle School Quarter 1 Honor Roll

The right ingredients make the perfect businessBy Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

Greenwave catering is a growing business that promises to make some decadent sweets and some mouth-watering treats — right after they finish their homework.

Denise Wuchner, a fam-ily and consumer science teacher, launched the Greenwave Catering pro-gram earlier this year.

The program is ran by Wuchner’s culinary stu-dents, who work with ev-erything right down to the last recipe.

“We are going to be pre-paring entrees in to-go boxes so people can pur-chase on Friday,” Wuch-ner said. “People come pick it up in a to-go bag. It won’t be cooked so people can take it home and heat it up.”

Greenwave Catering will also add suggestions with the meals that will say a person should add mozza-rella or breadsticks to make the meal complete.

For their first sale, the stu-dents made lasagna rolls, pasta and a dessert. The la-sagna rolls cost $7, pasta $5 and the dessert cost $3.

An order form is placed in the teachers’ mailboxes and handed out to students during lunchtime, teach-ers can order the food on Wednesday and pick it up by Friday.

The students split all the responsibilities to run a successful Greenwave Catering.

Some of the job titles in-

clude creating menus, cal-culating cost per serving, trying recipes, making fli-ers and advertising, order forms, running the Web page, and ordering sup-plies for take-out and prep.

Another aspect of the business is creating the newsletter, which has in-formation about how much food costs, cookbook sales and a “Did you know?” section which has an article about something pertinent to the class.

To raise some extra money to help fund their

new chef hats and jackets, Greenwave Catering sold cookbooks that had three to five recipes from students’ home.

During classtime, Wuch-ner teaches her students through a textbook where she talks about nutrition and preparing meals.

“That’s what we’re go-ing for — preparing well-balanced meals,” she noted.

Once it gets time to cook, students are broken off into groups around the five kitchens in the classroom.

Each group is in charge of creating different food items whether it’s the main entrée, dessert or a side of pasta.

Besides creating take home dishes, Greenwave Catering can also work larger events for Tidal Wave Bank, Veteran’s Day celebration and the prom.

Even though the ball has just begun to roll down the hill, Wuchner said it is al-ready picking up a lot of steam.

“So far, so good,” she added. “But you know,

we’re only at the begin-ning stage right now. We’re starting off small.”

And the beginning means making sure that they spread the good news of Greenwave Ca-tering and what they can accomplish.

Wuchner is hoping to branch out to cook week-ly teacher luncheons, but she realizes the program is still taking baby steps. Although, she does have a lot of plans in the works.

“After Christmas, I’m hoping we can branch

out to the whole coun-ty,” Wuchner said. “But right now, we’re at the high school and that’s big enough for us.”

As for the future of the program, Wuchner hopes to expand the class into two periods.

“Two class periods is what I’m going for,” she said. “As of right now, it’s just one class period. So that’s why we have to scale back. But, it looks like to me that everything is going to turn out well. It’s on its way.”

Robert’s Family Farm, a locally owned and oper-ated farm/tourist attrac-tion, recently held a $500 drawing as part of their fall festivities.

Cornmaze participants’ tickets, from Sept. 15 thru Oct. 31, were placed in the drawing.

With each ticket pur-chased participants were guaranteed a chance to win the grand prize.

The more you mazed, the more chances you had

to win. Over 2,500 tickets were purchased this year.

The cornmaze was spon-sored by Tony Brown Chev-rolet and was in the shape of a car with flames and thesponsor’s logo.

On Nov. 1, Tony Brown Chevrolet drew the win-ning ticket and this year’s winner of the $500 cash grand prize was the Rad-cliff Elementary Family Resource Center.

The ticket drawn was originally purchased from

the Fort Knox Protestant Women of the Chapel group. They donated their unused tickets to be given away. Rhonda and Kevin Roberts decided to write in names of those in need, giving the groups a chance at the $500.

Talk about pay-it-for-ward, the ticket was do-nated and then, in return, ended up helping the chil-dren in need at the Radc-liff Elementary Family Re-source Center.

Library News
