It all started with an elec-tion night call to a radio sta-tion.

That call sparked a re-canvass of a local election during a spate of midterm election recounts statewide last week.

27th District State rep-resentative incumbent Jeff

Greer called in to a local ra-dio station to announce the vote totals he had received.

Dalton Jantzen, Greer’s opponent in the race, said the numbers he heard raised questions.

“On election night, Mr. Greer called the radio sta-tion and announced that he was the winner of the race by 208 votes, before Ka-trina (Meade County Clerk

Katrina Fitzgerald) had fi nished announcing the re-cords on WMMG. And so, his count was 208 and then when it offi cially came out, it was 128 and so I don’t un-derstand where the differ-ence came from, so that was the reason I requested the re-count,” Jantzen said. “Only afterwards did I fi nd out that three memory modules (in voting machines) failed

and a memory module in Bullitt County failed.”

Greer insists he wasn’t trying to spur any confu-sion to an already hectic night, but was just adding to the fervor of the station’s election night coverage.

“I wasn’t trying to jump the gun and say ‘I’m the winner,’ I just simply told

Zoning board acting to halt road questions

By Brian GravesThe News Standard

Planned action by the Meade County Planning and Zoning Commission may fi nally put an end to at least some of the confusion and controversies that have surrounded the construction of roads over the past few months.

The commission was scheduled to take a fi nal vote this week on changes to the county ordinance which regulates those new roads.

Tony Coletta, county planning direc-tor, said the new amendments deal with construction of roadways with recorded subdivisions.

“The problem we’ve been having, and the problem that was addressed at the last meeting by (1st District Magistrate Tom) Goddard, was that what happens when a subdivision was platted before zoning — meaning there were no stan-dards applied to it — before March 1, 1998 or the subdivision was created July 15, 1999,” Coletta said.

What has been happening, according to Coletta, is confusion over what to do with a subdivision that has been plat-ted before subdivision regulations went into effect but never actually began con-struction.

“This is what happened at Woodland. This is what happened at several subdi-visions,” Coletta.

He explained that just prior to the regulations going into effect, there was a rush to plat a number of subdivisions.

Saluting heroesBy Casey Tolliver

The News Standard

The victim of a local burglary last week is now offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the persons involved.

Alberta Reardon, 77, has put up a $1,000 bounty for those responsible for breaking into and stealing items from her Payneville home last Tuesday night.

Reardon said she was in the bathroom when the lights in her house went out. While walking into her kitchen to locate a fl ashlight, a man shined a fl ashlight in her face, causing her to be disoriented.

The man then ordered her to get on the fl oor.

“He said, ‘Get on the fl oor, b----. Get on the fl oor and cover your face,’” Rear-don said.

The man proceeded to place a throw rug over Reardon, who said she believes she heard at least one or two other peo-ple in the house.

The assailants took nearly $10,000 worth of items from the home as well as two bottles of prescription medication,

A local motorcycle club recently kicked off their season of giving by donating toys and money gathered in a recent toy run to the Meade County Clothes Closet.

Members of the Meade County chapter of the Grim Reapers Mo-torcycle club rallied behind local children and families in need.

The club spent the past few months collecting toys and mon-etary donations to contribute to the Meade County Clothes Closet.

“For eight years we’ve been do-ing this and the whole purpose is to bring kids in Meade County a Christmas,” the president of the Meade County Chapter said, who goes by his club moniker “Sappy”. “The whole point is to see a smile on kids’ face.”

The chapter was active in

Wilbur Beasley of the Meade County VFW Post 11404 offi ciated the service which began with the play-ing of our National Anthem while veterans of all ages and backgrounds stood at attention and saluted our fl ag. This was followed with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Several inspirational

songs were played and Meade County Sheriff, Butch Kerrick gave a mov-ing speech about how much our veterans mean to our country. Kerrick also thanked them for their ser-vice. He mentioned that he was drafted and that the veterans were honorable for volunteering to protect our great nation.

After Kerrick’s speech a wreath was placed on the Veteran’s Memorial in front of the courthouse, Bob Hen-drickson, the VFW Senior Vice Commander Depart-ment of Kentucky, said a few words of appreciation

to those who gathered and a prayer was cited by Tom Brady, the VFW Chaplain.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Beasley invited everyone present to attend a gathering at the VFW Post on By-Pass Road for food and fellowship provided by MEDCO.

The veterans patted each other on the back, shook hands, gave out a few man-ly hugs and then rode off, some on motorcycles, some in Fords, to their next desti-nation on the one day each year our community thanks America’s fi nest for their heroism.

Don we now our running apparel because the 8th Annual Jingle Bell Trot will be held Thursday, Dec. 2.

The trot, which is a festive jaunt through down-town Brandenburg in a gleaming array of holi-day lights, will feature local runners as well as anyone else who wants to walk or merely mean-der while enjoying the twinkling and festively lit cityscape.

“It’s really festive,” Meade County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Russ Powell said. “And some people walk, some people run and some people run really fast. There’s lights along the street going down Main Street, but there are gobs of displays going through the park. It’s just a fun thing to do.”

Participants will also be given jingle bells to wear, if they choose to wear them.

The trot, which was organized by the Meade County Chamber of Commerce and McGehee In-surance Agency, is free and open to the public.

Registration for the trot will begin at 5:45 at the Family Life Center at Brandenburg United Meth-odist Church, according to Powell. The first 200 participants will receive t-shirts and jingle bells will also be handed out at registration.

In recent years, the event has attracted more than 250 participants.

The Jingle Bell Trot will begin at 6:30. Partici-pants will start at the intersection of Broadway and Hill Street and continue to Main Street, ac-cording to Powell.

The course will take trotters through Riverfront Park and in the midst of the Christmas by the riv-er light displays, he added.

Broadway from Hill Street to High Street, all of Main Street and the road through Riverfront Park will be closed between 6:25 and 7:30 the evening of the trot, as a safeguard for participants, accord-ing to Powell.

Traffic control will be provided by Branden-burg Police Department and Citizens on Patrol volunteers

For more information about the trot, call the Meade County Chamber of Commerce at 422-3626 or e-mail rpowell@meadecountykychamber.org.

Jingle Bell Trot all theway through town

After months of antici-pation, a major artery in the in the Meade County infrastructure was un-veiled earlier this week.

On Monday, state and local officials attended the unveiling of the new Highway 933, which was hailed by Brandenburg Mayor David Pace as a “massive undertaking.”

Bids for construction of

the new section of road, which totals 2.4 miles, were let in February and construction began in March of this year.

After nine months of in-tense labor by contractors Kelsey Construction, the new road was opened for traffi c.

Though the new slice of Meade County asphalt came with a hefty $7.7 million price tag, officials expect it to pay dividends to the county for decades to come.

“With this road and 313 on its way, I think Meade County is on its way to opening up and becoming a thriving community,” Meade County Judge/Ex-ecutive Harry Craycroft said.

“When I think about Meade County’s future, it all starts with this road,” 27th District State Rep. Jeff Greer said, echoing Cray-croft’s sentiments. “Today is a great day for opening the door for tomorrow,

not just for our genera-tion but also for the next. It’s a great day for Meade County.”

The upgraded stretch of road ties in the existing stretch of KY 933 from But-termilk Falls Road to KY 448 near Berryman Road.

The new section of Highway 933 leads to the adjacent Buttermilk Falls Industrial Park, providing enhanced and easier truck access to local companies such as Arch Chemicals.

Newly constructed road should enhance economy

THE NEWS STANDARD/CASEY TOLLIVER

Local officials and residents gathered on Monday for the opening of the new Highway 933 in Branden-burg. The road is heralded as a potential economic conduit for Meade County.

Editorial“Give Thanks”

Some eighty years ago, an editorial writer for The Los An-geles Times bemoaned the startling news that a national poul-try association was predicting America would be turkey-less within twenty years unless Congress took steps to save the bird from extinction.

The writer went on to say because of the “rapidity with which Congress solves troubles and complications” Americans would do well to begin stocking up on their fi ll of white meat.

Nearly a century has come and gone and we are happy to report there are plenty of turkeys to go around and sad to re-port Congress has not gained any speed.

But, the idea of no turkey for Thanksgiving brings up some important and solemn thoughts.

There are many this Thanksgiving who will indeed have no turkey, ham, or much of anything else to eat.

A holiday banquet for them would be the simplest in the minds of many.

And, as much as they would like a decent meal, it would be a dream fulfi lled to have an actual dwelling place with a roof under which to have that meal.

This is very much a year to be thankful by those who are blessed with a home, a job, and a way to have food for the family.

It is also the time to be thankful for the country we live in. Despite its problems and woes, it still remains the greatest country in the world.

In the 1789 proclamation establishing the fi rst American Thanksgiving, President George Washington said the day should be “devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious being, who is the benefi cent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be — that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks — for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation — for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of His providence, which we experienced in the course and con-clusion of the late war — for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have enjoyed — for the peace-able and rational manner in which we have since enjoyed…for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed…and in general for all the great and various favors which He hath been pleased to confer upon us.”

Truly, God has shed his grace on our country and its people.With today’s troubled economy, now more than ever, it has

been demonstrated that wealth is fl eeting. That makes this the proper time to be thankful for those non-material values and blessings which makes Americans unique.

There could be no greater way to give thanks to the God which has blessed us than share the blessings with those who fi nd themselves without the means to provide a dinner for their families, shelter from the storms, or clothes for their backs.

The real meaning of Thanksgiving isn’t about the turkey dinner. It’s about those we love and the great blessing of be-ing together for a time of fellowship on a day set aside for giving thanks.

Stores have already began putting out the Christmas deco-rations and lights, but we too often rush through the cran-berry dressing to get to the sales on Friday.

This year, everyone who has their share of America’s boun-ty needs to take the time to be thankful to the God of our Fa-thers who has richly provided. And, there is no better time to share the examples of Christ by sharing with those in need.

Last, and most important, it is a good time to share in the song of the Psalmist:

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence

with singing.Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made

us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.

For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.”

“There came a smell off the shore like the smell of a garden.” — John Winthrop, off the New England coast, 1630.

If John Winthrop was inclined to fi nd godly fa-vor in the wilds of New England, other newcom-ers didn’t see the signs the same way.

William Bradford landed a decade before Winthrop. “What could they see,” he wrote of the Pilgrims con-fronting the new land, “but a hideous and desolate wil-derness, full of wild beasts and wild men?”

Half of them died that fi rst terrible winter in Plymouth, and if it weren’t for constant human rein-forcements, New England might have stalled out.

In the end, though, Win-throp proved right: The

colonists had arrived on a continent of stupendous, awe-inspiring abundance. With ingenuity and com-mercial pluck, they tapped its vast riches in what would become history’s greatest adventure in wealth-creation.

Early on, the Pilgrims grasped a fundamental point about economic mo-tivation. In 1623, they re-jected their initial system of collectivism, and each family got its own plot of land.

Bradford called it “a very good success, for it makes all hands very in-dustrious.”

They had learned “the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s ... that the tak-ing away of property and bringing community into a commonwealth would make them happy and fl ourishing.”

The economic historian John Steele Gordon points out that Puritan merchants often wrote at the top of

their ledgers, “In the name of God and profi t.” The set-tlers who poured into New England included trades-men of all sorts, bringing their hustle and shrewd-ness. They quickly resort-ed to technology to make up for the relative absence of labor.

The fi rst sawmill opened in 1634; a dozen were op-erating by 1650. John Win-throp’s son took an interest in industry and established an ironworks in the 1640s.

By 1700, Boston trailed only London as a ship-building city in the Brit-ish Empire. “By the end of the Colonial era,” Gordon writes, “the colonies were producing one-seventh of the world’s supply of pig iron.”

As our Founding Fa-thers knew in their bones, this represented the mer-est beginning, situated as we were in what George Washington called “a most enviable condition.” Paul Johnson writes in his mag-

isterial “A History of the American People” that 300 years after Winthrop’s ar-rival, “the United States was producing, with only 6 percent of the world’s population and land area, 70 percent of its oil, nearly 50 percent of its copper, 38 percent of its lead, 42 per-cent each of its zinc and coal, and 46 percent of its iron — in addition to 54 percent of its cotton and 62 percent of its corn.”

This triumph came with painful fi ts and starts, of course. Even immediately after the American Revo-lution, a brief recession hit and people worried about the young country already losing its purpose. The in-credulous comment of one observer has remained an apt rebuke to pessimists about the American future across the centuries: “If we are undone, we are the most splendidly ruined of any nation in the universe.”

America remains the land of abundance

Voter turnout in the Nov. 2 elections looks like a mid-term rerun.

Can any liberty-loving Kentucky resident feel good about only half of the eligible voters in the commonwealth getting off their duffs to visit the bal-lot box? Les Fugate, deputy secretary of state, said only about 1.4 million of the approximately 3.3 million voters showed up at Ken-tucky polls.

If you sit among the 51.1 percent of Kentuckians that didn’t vote, shame on you.

Shame, shame.Those who don’t both-

er to vote certainly can’t blame the election process. Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson and his team run one of the smoothest in the country. They make it as easy and convenient as possible for citizens, whose, votes will get tal-lied accurately and in a timely manner.

And don’t send me e-mails that cop out with “I

didn’t like either candi-date.” Not when we see proud Iraqis, who under threat of extreme danger or death, have now cast votes in two national elections since Saddam Hussein fell.

Who can forget the pho-tograph of the elderly Iraqi women proudly display-ing — for the entire world to see — her ink-stained fi nger attesting to her vote? For her and millions of others, the future pos-sibilities outweighed the risk of voting.

Bombs and mortars killed 27 voters and injured more than 40 by noon in Baghdad alone on Elec-tion Day in Iraq this year. A Los Angeles Times story on the nationwide election in March stated: “Iraqis dodge explosions to cast their votes.”

I voted at Plano Elemen-tary School in Warren County before 7 a.m. The only bombs going off there were set by voters blowing up the stranglehold big-government types have on Congress.

I didn’t fear that I might leave the house and never return.

Would I still have voted

if that possibility existed?I might have if I lived un-

der the iron fi st of a repres-sive regime for decades. I might have for the chance to not only live in freedom but to participate in it.

Since 1982, only once did at least 70 percent of Ken-tuckians go to the polls — and that was in the presi-dential election of 1992, when Bill Clinton beat George H. W. Bush.

If history is any indica-tion, next year’s election turnout — determining Kentucky’s next governor, auditor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer and agriculture commis-sioner — will be the most abysmal of the three-year election cycle.

Voter turnout in the 2007 election was less than 40 percent. Is it possible that a bigger turnout could have resulted in the election of a real governor and attor-ney general who would have pushed back against the federal assault on Ken-tucky’s sovereignty and its citizens’ freedoms?

We’ll never know.One thing I do know: Our

nation’s founders believed that voters, as John Adams

once said, “have an impor-tant constitutional power.”

Adams also stated that the seriousness of voting demands that “every sub-ject . . . be in some degree a statesman: and to examine and judge for himself the tendencies of political prin-ciples and measures.”

Thomas Jefferson said voting was a way to turn around a ship off course.

“Should things go wrong at any time, the people will set them to rights by the peaceable exercise of their elective rights,” Jef-ferson said.

In more modern ver-nacular, Fugate adds: “If we ignore the easiest way for most citizens to be di-rectly involved with their government, the underpin-nings of our government are threatened and thus, the liberties and freedoms we have fought to protect are in peril. “

Terrorists know that. But do most Kentuckians?

Thinking outside the ballot box doesn’t help

To the Editor,

I’d like to give a loud “harumph” to last week’s article by Casey Tolliver regarding alcohol by the drink sales in Brandenburg.

This is a far-reaching economic development issue and the time has come for a focused effort to update and stan-dardize our local regulatory scheme.

As the county’s new leadership grapples with exactly how they’re going to make good on their commitment to “facilitate economic development,” they would do well to understand the multi-dimensional aspects of dynamic growth.

There are many factors taken into consideration by that small company you’re attempting to attract to our corn-fi eld of an industrial park! Good schools, low crime rates, and locally available amenities are high on any prospec-tive business list.

Attracting the development of another restaurant or two along our bypass could only add to the drawing power of our other positive assets.

Changing the law governing the ability of a property owner to sell his property to accommodate such a devel-opment is arcane and complex.

There will be petitions necessary and a special election must be called. Such things demand forward thinking leadership and aggressive action.

Isn’t that what we voted for a couple weeks ago?

It is vital for everyone to have faith in something

Daniel 6:10 says, “When Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went intohis house.

The windows in its up-per room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” (HCSB)

During some of the most difficult days of World War II, British prime min-ister Winston Churchill made one of the toughest decisions of the war.

When British intelli-

gence learned that the Germans planned to bomb the city of Coven-try, Churchill found him-self with a simple yet ter-rible choice: evacuate the city and save hundreds of lives (bust risk tipping off the Germans that the Brit-ish had broken their com-munication code], or do nothing and allow hundreds of people to die (but keepthe secret safe).

Churchill, resolute as al-ways, chose the welfare of his entire nation and al-lowed the enemy to bomb Coventry.

In a similar way, God calls you to be a resolute man who refuses to compromise the well-being of your family or the dignity of your work or ministry even when you face hard choices.

The Old Testament proph-

et Daniel knew the impor-tance of remaining resolute in diffi cult times.

His enemies had duped King Darius into creating a law that outlawed all forms of worship except worship of the king.

The penalty for breaking the law was death at the jaws of lions.

Daniel, too, faced a terri-ble but simple choice: either worship Darius and live, or continue faithfully praying to God and risk becoming an evening snack for the lions.

Daniel loved God, so he refused to bow in worship before a man.

In fact, when Daniel fi rst heard of the new law, he headed directly to his room and bowed before Godin fervent prayer.

His enemies observed his defi ance and had him

thrown into the lion’s den. God honored Daniel’s reso-lute faithfulness and deliv-ered him from death. Daniel didn’t receive so much asa scratch.

What temptations are whispered in your ears that would compromise your faithfulness to God?Name them.

Create and execute a plan for remaining resolute in your commitment to God, no matter what.

The religious education classes at St John the Apostle Church took part in a Saints Parade com-memorating All Saints’ Day.

All Saints’ Day is a special feast day that honors the lives of saints and martyrs.

The celebration of this day expresses gratitude for their unique contributions and sacrifices, and acknowledges their continued spiritual presence

in the lives of people today. In the early church, Christians would acknowl-

edge the anniversary of a martyr’s death at the place of martyrdom.

Sometimes groups of martyrs suffered death to-gether on the same day. This gave rise to larger commemorations.

Over time, the church, feeling that every martyr should be venerated, appointed a common day for All Saints Day.

One day a group of young boys decided that they would dig a hole in their backyard, all the way through to China.

Each day they dug

the hole deeper, playing games in the hole, col-lecting bugs and worms, and attracting the at-tention of others in theneighborhood.

After a few days, their older brother wandered by and demanded to know what the young boys were doing. When he heard the answer, he laughed out loud. “How ridiculous!”

he shouted. “You’ll never get all the way to China!”

One of the young boys responded by picking up the container full of bugs and worms and said, “Even if we don’t get to China, look at all the neat stuff we found along the way!”

Just as ridiculous but not nearly as funny is the way some people go

through life. They are so focused on

accomplishing the big things that they overlook the smaller things.

There are things in life you will never accom-plish but don’t over look all the little blessing alongthe way.

Randy Johnson is the pas-tor at Brandenburg Church of God.

The confi dence we need to navigate life fl ows from faith in ourselves, and that begins withself-knowledge.

“Explore thyself.” Henry David Thoreauurges us all.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet marveled at the human animal: “What a piece of work is man. How noble in reason. How infi nite in faculty in form and loving how express and admi-rable in action, how like

an angel in apprehension, how like a god! The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals.”

Yet in the next breath the prince’s faith in man and himself faltered: “And yet, to me, what is this quintes-sence of dust?”

Hamlet lacked hope in, and love for, mankindand himself.

When you reach the au-tumn of your life, you’ll want to nurture a faith that secures your future and engages your affections as well as your mind.

For that, you will need a faith in something — or someone — outside yourself. If you conceive

of yourself as a mere ac-cidental speck of life in a vast, impersonal uni-verse, you are not likely to fi nd a faith that holds outmuch hope.

Believers and doubt-ers are equally exposed to life’s trials, but the believ-er knows where he stands in the universe and where he is going.

No one can live free of faith.

If you or I attempted to live confi dently on the ba-sis of what we know for an absolute fact, we could never get out of bed inthe morning.

People cannot help but live by faiths that fall short

of certitude, but we can shed false faiths that are built of little more than habit and sentiment, and we can build a faith full of hope.

Take the time to list your beliefs on paper, starting with what you believe about yourself.

What kind of person do you think you are? What do you do daily to justify your faith in yourself?

For example, if you con-sider yourself to be truth-ful, what hard truths have you revealed or confront-ed lately?

If you think of yourself as generous, what acts of kindness have you dis-

played of late?Next, answer this: What

do I believe in beyondmyself?

In what or whom do I place my faith and trust?

Summon the courage to submit your findings to a couple of trusted friends.

Do they see you the way you see yourself?

If not, don’t despair. Your faith may be fine, though your self-image may be faulty.

Even saints falter in ac-tion, but they maintain their faith despite their shortcomings.

To be worthy of your ad-herence, your faith needs to be bigger and better

than you alone.Francis of Assisi was

once challenged by a peas-ant who had heard of the friar’s generosity.

He urged the saint: “Try to be as good as people think you are.” From all reports, Francissucceeded.

Despite a life of almost inconceivable deprivation and generosity, he lived happily.

them the votes that I had. I had no idea things were go-ing to expand and explode as they did,” Greer said. “They (the radio station) asked me as a friend, ‘When you get some vote totals, let us know.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I’d be glad to,’ and I gave them what I had, which I was close. The only thing I didn’t have was the absentee vote from Bullitt and that was the difference in the numbers I gave them.”

During the recount, Meade County Court Clerk Katrina Fitzgerald inspected the ballot boxes for evidence of tampering and conducted the recount in a room in the back of the Road Depart-ment building.

“We’re going to recheck the seals that the precinct work-ers sealed back and then we’re going to go through the paper tapes and run the totals again,” Fitzgerald said at the recanvass.

The paper tapes display the name of the race and the candidates vying for the spot.

Three tapes are printed out, with each precinct keep-ing a copy and two copies going to the County Court Clerk’s office.

County Court clerks keep their copies of the tapes for 22 months, Fitzgerald said.

The recanvass of votes cast in Meade and Bullitt coun-ties, as well as two precincts in Hardin County, upheld the count from election night.

But, it also sparked a de-bate on the accuracy of a sys-tem which has the potential for faulty components.

Fitzgerald acknowledged the corrupted modules, but stood by the effectiveness of the back-up components of the eSlate system, after con-ferring with the manufac-turer and distributor of the voting devices.

There are a limited num-ber of write/erase cycles associated with each card, according to a statement by

Harp Enterprises, the com-pany who manufactures the mobile ballot box (MMB) cards in the eSlate voting machines, which are manu-factured by Hart Intercivic.

These write/erase cycles determine the life span of the cards, which is generally two to four years, the state-ment added.

Although the memory cards are subject to a limited life span, corruption of the cards does not affect the vote count or how those votes are stored in the system.

“While the MMB’s are sub-ject to this limited lifespan, the votes cast by voters on the voting machines are never in jeopardy,” the statement said. “The voting system used by Harp Enter-prises has multiple levels of redundancy in place to en-sure that no risks are taken with the public trust.”

However, Jantzen decried the defective modules as a hazard to the accuracy of the voting process.

“I think we have about 30 machines total and three of them had memory module failures.

And, that’s a high num-ber,” Jantzen said. “I think it may not be the best system. It does actually reproduce the results in a nice format, but it has to be right. This is too important for our county, for our district, for our state and for our country.”

Greer, who was also aware of the faulty modules, re-ferred to the two court clerks of the counties in question.

The second term repre-sentative was satisfied with the reliability of the voting systems.

“Naturally, I would check that out and I did check it out,” Greer said. “The mem-ory cards don’t affect the machine totals in any way shape or form. They’re going to print what it was. I had Katrina Fitzgerald and Kev-in Mooney, who is the clerk in Bullitt County, explain that to me fully. I believe that they’re accurate. If it would have worked against me, I would feel the same way.”

she added.“They took all of my

jewelry, my silverware. My husband’s deceased and they took all of his knives and the bands for his watches,” Reardon said.

“They took the last ring my husband ever gave me. I don’t have one thing left. It makes me want to cry. I don’t think I’ll get any of it back.”

Meade County Sher-iff’s Department Detec-tive Bart Ponder, who is investigating the case, has some leads but insists that more information and witnesses are needed.

“We’re looking at a group of people,” Ponder said. “We are needing the help of citizens. If any-body has any informa-tion, we’d greatly appre-ciate it.

If anybody drove by in the late evening hours and saw anything, any information would be appreciated.”

Five buses carrying 250 Thornton’s employees from over 160 of their conve-nience stores made a Nov. 10 trip from Louisville, Ky., to Sadowski fi eld house to prepare care packages for Soldiers from the 3rd Infan-try Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, who will be leaving shortly on a year-long deployment to Afghanistan.

Approximately 3,500 care packages with 10 items apiece were stuffed by the Thornton’s volun-teers, and included items like wet wipes, drink pack-ets and energy bars. All items were donated from Thornton’s vendors.

Thornton’s, Inc. is a Ken-tucky-based, independent gasoline and convenience-chain retailer.

It was one of many ges-

tures in recent months ex-tended to Fort Knox per-sonnel, and one that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

“My thanks to the entire Kentucky community for putting their arms around us,” said Lt. Col. Matthew McCollum, 3/1 brigade ex-ecutive offi cer, appreciative of the Thornton’s care pack-age effort and enthusiasm of the volunteers.

The care package event at Sadowski had its origins as part of the annual Thorn-ton’s conference, held this year in Louisville and at-tended by all general man-agers and store managers. Louisville also happens to be the home of Thornton’s corporate headquarters.

“I know how important it is to get these packages to Soldiers,” said Jane Loeffl er, assistant to the chief fi nan-cial offi cer at Thornton’s, who happily made the jour-ney from Louisville to help

stuff the care packages. She wasn’t alone in her

willingness to take time out of her schedule to as-sist the soldiers.

Mike Woerner, vice presi-dent of human resources at Thornton’s training facil-ity known as Stackhouse University, said attendees at the annual Thornton’s gathering normally en-gage in a team-building project with humanitarian overtones. As far as he was concerned, nothing seemed more fi tting than adopting a project this year with a military theme.

As those 3/1 Soldiers head off to Afghanistan, Thornton’s care package in hand, odds are they’ll re ember they have 250 new friends wishing them a safe journey.

“It’s all about giving back to those who make our way of life possible,” Woerner said.

“These developers didn’t want to be tied into the minimum lot sizes as well as the other requirements that were going into ef-fect,” Coletta said.

The problems come when any road construc-tion begins at these sites. There is no oversight or standards being applied because under current rules — for these particu-lar sites — there really is none.

“This happens even though the road ordinance calls for bonds and certain road standards,” Coletta said.

The new amendment will now place clearer defi-nitions for certain terms.

In past occurances, the county road department was considering a road “constructed” if it had been platted, but not actu-

ally under construction.Under the new regula-

tions, there is a clear defi-nition between the terms “construction” and “con-structed.”

“Construction” will be the act of clearing, dredg-ing, excavating and grad-ing of land associated with buildings, structures or other types of real prop-erty such as bridges, dams and roads.

“Constructed” will mean the state of development where all activities associ-ated with the construction of a structure, building or other real property such as bridges, dams and roads are complete and placed into final service.

Coletta said the amend-ment also addresses ad-ditional procedures that specifically address pre-recorded subdivisions that have not been con-structed.

Those subdivisions, prior to construction, will now be required to submit

“appropriate design plans for approval according to the procedures for minor flats.”

The amendment also puts into place a procedure that Coletta described as “basically a building per-mit for roads.”

Before any construction begins on a roadway, the developer will be required to get a construction permit from the “administrative official” and what plats and plans would have to be approved before con-struction could begin.

“This should take care of this,” Coletta. “We have a number of areas that have been platted, but there has been no construction.”

The Planning and Zon-ing Commission was scheduled to take a final vote on the ordinance changes at a meeting on Thursday night. A first reading of the ordinance has already been passed and passage on Thursday was expected.

FORT KNOX — It’s not every day that soldiers get to meet high-ranking politicians, but a large group of Fort Knox, Ky.

Soldiers had a special treat when Kentucky Gov-ernor Steve Beshear came to the installation Nov. 10 for an early Veteran’s Day commemoration.

The more tell-ing point, however, is that Beshear was every bit as happy to talk and rub elbows with soldiers as they were to meet him. The governor met with sol-diers at the Waybur The-ater on Fort Knox, Nov. 10, and used the opportunity to not only thank those present for their service, but also to speak on the overall importance of the Fort Knox community to the state, both economically and culturally.

It was a theme echoed by Brig. Gen. Victor Petrenko, deputy commander for Army Ac-cessions Command and Fort Knox, who made opening comments to the crowd and introduced Beshear.

Those comments included references to the Base Realign-ment and Closure Act, which will ultimately bring mas-

sive amounts of consumer purchasing power and intellectual capital to the area. “As we grow, the region and the Commonwealth grow,” Petrenko said.

Beshear was quick to agree, and spoke for the en-tire state by adding “we are proud to be the home of facili-ties like Fort Knox.”

His comments were largely reserved for a special thanks to those in uniform and those who have previ-ously worn the uniform, whether in peace or war. Frequent deployments of the type experienced by soldiers in recent years haven’t gone unnoticed, Beshear said, citing his pride that the United States is able to find so many capable people will-ing to step up and answer the call of duty.

“You’re part of an ideal and a mission that has made Amer-ica great,” Beshear said, men-tioning his own veteran status as an intelligence specialist in the U.S. Army Reserve. He had a special message to the enlisted personnel present, humorously not-ing that, as a Specialist in the U.S. Army Reserves, he never thought he’d see the day that as a future governor he would be in charge of the state’s military forces.

Beshear expressed his hopes that all soldiers, whether natives of Kentucky or not, had been the re-cipients of a healthy dose of southern hospitality from residents only too happy to welcome them.

“Whether or not you were born in Kentucky, we claim you,” said a proud governor, quick to add that Kentucky has long been host to a pair of powerful military traditions.

The first is a long his-tory of her sons and daughters serving during wartime, but also one of family, friends and others who have always sup-ported that service. Those families deserve far more credit than they receive, Beshear said, wishing all soldiers a safe return from any upcoming deploy-ment to Afghanistan.

The governor closed his appearance with an infor-mal meet-and-greet session with anyone wanting to say hello, and there was no shortage of soldiers willing to take him up on the offer. They weren’t the only ones to have gotten a kick out of the visit, however.

“This is a very special week, and a chance to come here and be with you,” Beshear said.

FRANKFORT — With

the holidays upon us, mil-lions of Americans are hit-ting the road to visit with family and friends. The Kentucky Office of High-way Safety (KOHS) wants every celebration to be a joyous occasion, so it’s reminding travelers that state and local law enforce-ment will be out in force from Nov. 15 to Nov. 28, sending the strong mes-sage to Click It or Ticket.

“No one wants to start off the holidays with a ticket,” said Transporta-tion Cabinet Secretary Mike Hancock.

“Save your money for turkey and buy-ing presents for loved ones — don’t throw it away simply because you failed to buckle up.” While seat belt use is at a

record high of 84 percent nationwide, Kentucky lags behind with an 80 per-cent usage rate. Statistics for 2009 indicate 398 (61.3 percent) of the 649 people who were killed in motor vehicles last year in Ken-tucky were not wearing a seat belt.

“Sadly, the holidays, which for many are the happiest time of the year, is also one of the deadli-est and most tragic,” said KOHS Executive Director Chuck Geveden.

“Clearly this is an indi-cation that people are just not aware of the huge risk taken by not buckling up.”

In Kentucky last year there were 1,120 crashes over the Thanksgiving holiday, resulting in 330 in-juries and seven fatalities.

Of those fatalities, five were unrestrained.

“Wearing a seat belt costs you nothing, but not

wearing it could cost you a ticket or worse…your life,” Geveden said.

“We want all drivers and passengers to Click It or Ticket, day and night.”

Regular seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes, according to NHTSA.

Research has shown that when lap and shoulder belts are used properly, the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent.

State police issues ticket campaign warning

By Brian GravesThe News Standard

The heavy rains Tuesday helped give a long awaited and much needed soaking to Meade County soil and have also given the green light to lift the current burn ban. However, the state still has a forest fire hazard sea-son in effect.

Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said because of the heavy

rains, should they continue throughout Tuesday evening, he would give the order to lift the current restrictions.

As of press time, the Na-tional Weather Service was calling for the possibility of an inch or more of precipitation over a three-day period.

NWS said the low pres-sure moving through the area on Tuesday would be “bringing soaking rains to an area that could use a drought-buster.”

“We have really had no complaints of any kind about having to put the ban in place,” Craycroft said. “I think everyone understood the dangers involved of hav-ing fires with the unusually dry conditions we’ve had. I think people knew it was a safety issue.”

He continued by praising the county citizens for their help during the situation.

“I want to commend the public for their adhering to

the ban,” Craycroft said. “I understand the frustration of wanting to burn the brush and leaves, but if even one spark had gotten out of con-trol it could have been disas-trous and even tragic.”

He urged people who now want to begin disposing of brush and leaf piles by burn-ing to continue to remain cautious.

“Just because the ban is lift-ed doesn’t remove the need to be safe when using fire,”

Craycroft said.The state’s fall forest hazard

season runs through Dec. 15. During this period, it is ille-gal to burn anything within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland between the daylight hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The Kentucky Division of Forestry recommends the fol-lowing precautions:

•Be aware of all outdoor burning restrictions.

•Extinguish all campfires

and debris piles completely.•Extinguish smoking ma-

terials properly.•Avoid parking cars, trucks,

or recreational vehicles on dry vegetation.

•Incorporate “firewise” practices around homes and communities in forested areas.

•Report suspicious acts of arson to the nearest Ken-tucky State Police post or call the Target Arson Hotline at 800-27-ARSON.

Many residents wonder what we offer at the Meade County Extension Offi ce.

While we offer programs in the area of agriculture, including horticulture and entomology, the area of youth development through 4-H and youth re-lated programs and the area of Family and Consumer Sciences (Home Econom-ics) focusing on foods and

nutrition, textiles, housing and consumer issues, we also offer programs related to leadership and commu-nity development.

We are often misunder-stood by those who have not used our services, but the majority of those who do, return often.

We are an extension of the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State Uni-versity as these are the two land grant universities in the Commonwealth.

While we were creat-ed almost 100 years ago, we still hold the same

mission. Our mission isto educate.

As long as humans sur-vive, we will always have the need to be educated. Education does not always need to come in the form of a formal education but through lifelong learning. The programs we offer give participants the opportuni-ty to gain new skills which will enrich their life.

Last year, over 50,000 contacts were made through the Meade Coun-ty Extension Offi ce with county residents, through walk-ins, class partici-

pants, phone calls, e-mails, and other methods.

In January, we will begin a series of classes at the Meade County Extension Offi ce focusing on Leader-ship Development.

You do not have to be a leader in an organization to participate. If you are merely a seat warmer, you will benefi t from a series of workshops designed to give participants basic leadership skills and even follower skills.

Topics will include, get-ting motivated, basic pub-lic speaking, telling your

story, learning styles, per-sonalities, conducting as-sessments, working with different generations, as well as other topics, to en-hance your skills.

If you are interested, please contact the Meade County Extension Office.

Another program which will start in January is called “County Conver-sations.” Each month, a topic with a featured speaker will be presented with a facilitated discus-sion to follow. I am often amazed at the misinfor-mation which circulates in

communities. This is an opportu-

nity to learn about par-ticular topics of interest to county residents. If you have ideas for top-ics, feel free to contact me or send me an e-mail at jenniferbridge@uky.edu.

If you would like to know more about pro-grams offered through your local Cooperative Extension Service, contact us to sign up for our mail-ing list. It’s free and open to anyone wanting to par-ticipate. We hope to see or hear from you soon.

Angela Shelf Medearis The Kitchen Diva

After almost 35 years of cooking, I’ve had my share of Thanksgiving Day disas-ters. Here are some secrets to saving your sanity and your Thanksgiving dinner.

HOW TO DEFROST A TURKEY

You’ll need at least 24 to 48 hours (about fi ve hours per pound) to thaw a frozen tur-key in the refrigerator. If you need to do a quick thaw, place the wrapped, frozen turkey in your kitchen sink or a large container like an ice chest. Cover the turkey with cold water. Drain and refi ll the wa-ter every half hour because as the bird thaws out, the water will get warmer. Using this method, the turkey will thaw at the rate of about a half hour for each pound.

PREPARING THE BIRD FOR COOKING

Remove the giblet package (neck, livers, heart and giz-zards) from inside the cavity of the bird and check the neck cavity. Some manufacturers place the giblet package in the neck cavity and others place it inside the cavity closest to the legs.

Most turkeys come with the legs already trussed (crossed and secured with a metal or plastic bracket). If you’re not going to stuff your bird, there’s no need to truss the legs. Trussing an unstuffed bird hinders the hot oven air from circulating inside and around the legs. This means that the dark meat will take longer to cook and the breast meat will cook faster and probably dry out before the legs ever get completely done.

THE TURKEY ISN’T DONE

Don’t rely on the “pop-up” timer in the turkey, as it usu-ally means that the breast is over-cooked and the dark meat isn’t done. If the dark meat isn’t done, remove the wings and breast meat from the rest of the turkey, in one piece, if possible. Cover the

breast and wing portion with foil and set it aside. Put the drumsticks and thigh portion of the turkey back into the oven to continue cooking un-til done. You can re-assemble the whole turkey and garnish, or cut it into serving portions and arrange it on a platter

STUFFING SAVERSIf the dressing is too wet,

spread it out in a thin layer on a sheet pan so that it will dry quickly. Place it back into the oven for 5 to 7 minutes.

If it’s too dry, add more pan drippings or chicken broth to the mixture. If you don’t have anymore drippings or broth, you can combine a chicken bouillon cube (if you have one), along with a teaspoon of poultry seasoning, three table-spoons of butter and 1 cup of water. Cook the mixture in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until it comes to a boil. Stir to combine and then add it, a little at a time, to the dressing until it’s moist.

SOUPY MASHEDPOTATOES

You can add unseasoned dry bread crumbs to soupy mashed potatoes to absorb any excess liquid.

GRAVY RESCUE TIPSIf the gravy is lumpy, pour it

through a strainer into a new pan and bring it to a simmer, stirring gently. If it’s too thin, mix a tablespoon of melted butter with a tablespoon of fl our. Bring the gravy up to a boil and whisk in the butter mixture to thicken your gravy. If the gravy is too thick, add a little more chicken broth, pan

drippings or a little water and butter to thin it out.

BURNT OFFERINGSIf the turkey begins to burn

while it’s roasting, fl ip the bird over immediately and contin-ue to cook it. After the turkey is done, you can remove and discard any blackened skin and about half an inch of the meat below any burnt area. Slice the remaining breast meat, arrange it on a platter and ladle gravy over it.

If your vegetables or gravy burn on the bottom, carefully remove the layer that isn’t burned into another pot or serving dish. Don’t scrape the bottom of the pan.

If the dinner rolls are burned on the bottom, just cut off as much as you can, butter them, and fold them in half to cover the missing ends.

Whipped cream is the per-fect “make-up” for desserts that aren’t quite up to par. You can cut the top layer off a burnt pie and cover it with whipped cream.

Hopefully, these tips will rescue you from any Thanks-giving Day disasters, but re-member, it’s about gathering together to give thanks with the people you love — not the perfect meal. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

History returns to KentuckySubmitted by

Kentucky Heritage Council

FRANKFORT — The eight-ton boulder known as Indian Head Rock, a historic artifact taken from the Ohio River in 2007 by a dive team from Ohio, was returned to its rightful home in Kentucky recent-ly, according to the Ken-tucky Heritage Council/State Historic PreservationOffi ce.

The city of Portsmouth, Ohio, agreed to relinquish custody and control of the artifact and permit its trans-port to Greenup County following an Agreed Order between the city and Com-monwealth of Kentucky earlier this year dismissing a civil suit against the city and two men involved in its retrieval.

For now, the artifact will be moved to and stored in a Greenup County garage until a permanent home can be found and funds identifi ed to help put it on display for public view-ing, according to Greenup County Judge/Executive Robert Carpenter. The goal will be to create edu-cational materials to inter-pret its history and context for the public, explain the

importance of protecting Kentucky’s archaeologi-cal resources and educate about the federal and state laws that govern protection of these resources.

The dispute over the boulder, which gets its name from what appears to be a face possibly carved by an early Native American, began after Ironton, Ohio historian Steven Shaffer led an expedition to remove the rock from the river. Neither Shaffer nor dive team mem-ber David Vetter had sought authorization from the Com-monwealth of Kentucky,

Army Corps of Engineers, or any offi cial or agency, to remove the historic artifact. They had also not fi led for any permits requesting to remove the protected an-tiquity, which served as a noted historical high-water marker on the river.

Because the integrity of the archaeological site has been compromised, return-ing the rock to the Ohio Riv-er would serve no purpose, according to Mark Dennen, Kentucky Heritage Coun-cil executive director and state historic preservation offi cer.

Thank a VetBy Mason Deibert

Battletown Elementary

I want to thank all veterans for what they have done for our country, like defending our freedom and the Con-stitution. In many dark times they fought with their lives to protect us. Even in our darkest hour, they still fought on.

I have come from a long line of mili-tary heroes. My dad has been in the Marine Corps for 13 years, and he served one tour of duty in Iraq. My mom served 9 years in the military, 4 years in the Army and 5 years in the Marine Corps. I am very grateful for my parents, and I’m astonished at how brave they were to fight for our justices and freedoms.

I thank all veterans who are on land, air or sea. If they can hear this, I salute all veterans who are fighting out there now. They are risking their own lives to protect us. They fight for us, so now we fight for them.

I want to thank you all for the brave things you’ve done for us. You kept us from harm’s way. You veterans were very brave and daring. You fought in the most dangerous places, like Af-ghanistan and Vietnam, but you still protected us. I thank all veterans for their brave acts. You fought for our country.

As John F. Kennedy said, “As we ex-press our gratitude, we must never for-get that the highest appreciation is not

to utter words, but to live by them.”We can honor our heroes by remem-

bering what they have done for our country. We would not have all the freedoms and rights that we have to-day if it wasn’t for you.

So, if you are a veteran listening to this, we all salute you.

Whenever a new furry friend walks in the doors at Meade County Veterinary Hospital, Brittani Rich-ardson aims to make them feel welcome by kneeling down and letting them sniff her hand.

Even though they may not respond, she talks to them as if they were human.

“I pretty much talk to ev-ery dog,” Richardson said. “You want to give them the reassurance that they’re OK. Most dogs, when they come in here, they’re ner-vous about what’s going on because they don’t un-derstand. I try to talk them through it.”

Richardson works as a full-time groomer for Wash And Groom Salon (WAGS) at Meade County Veteri-nary Hospital. She gets to work with her four-legged friends all day and Richard-son wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I really feel like I’m do-ing what I was meant to do,” she said.

In the beginning, Richard-son didn’t realize that work-ing with animals was her true calling. Prior to Brandenburg, she lived in Portland, Ore., working at Petsmart.

She decided to move to Kentucky and found an open-ing for a grooming manager. At first, she was hesitant to take a shot at the grooming profession.

“I had the manager per-

spective, but I had never groomed before,” Richardson said. “So I thought that might be something to tackle when I got back from Portland. So they sent me to school and I flew through school and did a great job.”

After grooming her first dog, it became crystal clear that Richardson had made the right choice.

“Literally, the first time I groomed a dog I knew that’s what I wanted to do,” she added.

Grooming looked like a piece of cake to Richardson in the beginning. However, through her studies she found that it’s more than just shav-ing and plucking.

“These little guys move, they dance, they bite and they pull their paw away when they don’t want their nails done,” she noted. “But you have to find a way to control the dog in a very, very safe manner and also remain un-derstanding with the dog, so that they trust you.”

That’s the reason Richard-son takes the time to make each one of her four-legged pals feel comfortable. She re-ally enjoys seeing the dogs recognize her.

“I’m an animal lover … and for a dog to be like, ‘Hey! I know you!’ like a person would do … that’s pretty cool,” she noted.

Even though her furry friends can be a bit tumultu-ous, Richardson couldn’t see herself working with any oth-er types of patients.

“I think it’s the extra chal-

lenge of trying to commu-nicate with something that doesn’t understand you and what you’re doing,” she said. “But I like it. I get to be creative too.”

Even Richardson takes joy in the creative aspect of grooming and has event got-ten to add Mohawks and swirls in the animals’ fur. But one thing is for sure. Whether it’s a poodle frufru or a shag-gy dog do’s, Richardson takes grooming seriously.

“I’m kind of a perfection-ist when it comes to this,” she added.

There have been instances where Richardson has had to fix owner’s at home pet cuts. Richardson recalled a phone call about an own-er who failed at trying to shave their dog.

“It would be like me going home and trying to cut my own hair,” she said.

So Richardson highly sug-gests that people refrain from trying to shave their animals.

Another piece of advice is to only give dogs a bath once a month due to the oils in their skin.

“They don’t have pores like we do,” Richardson said. “If you keep washing the hair, the skin doesn’t get the oil so it becomes flakey.

“One good tip if you have a dog that likes to get dirty, use puppy wipes or baby wipes,” she added. “Either way you can use those on (foot) pads, on the behind and around the face. It keeps the dog clean and it leaves the oil on the skin.”

Although she’s in water up to her elbows each day, Richardson’s job is anything but clean.

“I was walking out the other day, we had a very busy day and my hair was like four times the size it usually is,” she said. “I said, ‘This is why, years ago, I gave up trying to comb my hair before work.’ I mean you work in a business where you give dogs a bath, so don’t come to work trying to look pretty.”

So, after all the studying, shampoo, toe nails and wag-ging tails, Richardson loves her job and couldn’t see her-self doing anything else.

“I realized the first year I was in (grooming) that,

yeah, it’s good money,” she said. “But I get to play with dogs all day. I would have taken half the pay to do what I was doing.”

WAGS is located at 1210 Old Ekron Road in the Meade

County Veterinary Hospi-tal. The business is open from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.

WMMG held its first TRadio and Business Expo last Saturday in front of their studio off the Bypass.

In the past, WMMG has held a flea market venue but Corporate Manager Michelle Ray and her team thought to add the business aspect to this year’s event.

According to Ray, 11 vendors set up shop along the pathway to the WMMG studio.

Most of them offered discounted rates in honor of the expo.

For instance, WMMG’s neighbor Unleashed Ink offered $50 off tattoos and Joyce’s Décor and More showcased their

extra stock of handbags that could make any woman happy.

Groups of children took advantage to have fun and joke around in an inflatable slide and jump house.

Early in the morning, parents made good use of the Project Kidcare IDs, which aims to increase awareness about the issue of missing and exploited children and to educate parents and children about the ways they can protect themselves.

The list of activities for the six-hour event includ-ed a chili cookoff and a ka-raoke contest.

Ray said she was blown away by the performances she saw.

“It surprises me how much talent there is in

Meade County,” she add-ed, noting that the ages of the performers ranged from 5 to 70 years old.

Mother Nature was on their side as she brought some cool breezes and sun-shine to make it feel as if it were summer.

WMMG has held the event towards the summer-time in the past, but due to some minor complaints they thought to move it to the fall, Ray said.

“I thought it was success-ful,” she added, noting that they would have liked to see more people but were happy with the results.

As for the future, Ray is unsure if WMMG will hold another TRadio and Busi-ness Expo.

“It’s something we will have to talk about,” she said.

WASHINGTON - Natu-ral Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Chief Dave White recently announced the ranking period cut-off date for producer applica-tions in NRCS’s Conserva-tion Stewardsip Program (CSP) has been extended to January 7, 2011.

“We’re extending the deadline for applications to CSP to provide agricul-tural producers more time to complete their applica-tions,” White said. “This will help farmers, ranchers, and forestry producers by giving them more time and hopefully allow even more producers to participate in this program.”

CSP is offered in all 50 states, District of Colum-bia, and the pacifi c and Caribbean areas through continuous sign-ups with announced cut-off dates for ranking periods.

The program provides many conservation benefi ts including improvement of water and soil quality, wildlife habitat enhance-ment and adoption of con-servation activities that ad-

dress the effects of climate change.

All producers are encour-aged to apply for CSP. The program, authorized in the 2008 Farm Bill, offers pay-ments to producers who maintain a high level of con-servation on their land and who agree to adopt higher levels of stewardship. Eligi-ble lands include cropland, pastureland, rangeland and non-industrial forestland.

A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if CSP is suitable for their opera-tion. The checklist highlights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, contract obligations and po-tential payments. It is avail-able from local NRCS offi ces or online at: www.nrcs.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/new_csp/csp.html.

NRCS is celebrating 75 years helping people help the land in 2010.

Additional information may be obtained at the Meade County Conserva-tion District Offi ce. USDA NRCS personnel may be contacted at 270-422-3183.

Conservation stewardship program deadline extended

The Meade County High school football team has faced many challenges and over-came many obstacles this season on its way to the second round of the playoffs last Friday night against visiting Lexington Lafayette. Generals running back William Johnson’s 174 yards on the ground, along with four Meade County turnovers and two ques-tionable coaching gambles proved to be too much for the Greenwave to overcome as they lost 21-20 in overtime.

The Greenwave’s mishandling on offense came early against the Generals’ as Trey Benson recovered and returned a Max Cun-diff fumble 15 yards for a touchdown, on the fi rst play of the game.

Meade County was snake bit by turnovers once again midway through the fi rst quar-ter. Lafayette’s Jason Ferguson intercepted a Thomas Wilson pass attempt to Liverman. The interception setup a Nicky Jeter’s 27-

The Lady Waves competed in the girls state cross country meet last Saturday at Lexing-ton’s Horse Park fi nishing 21st out of 28 teams.

After fi nishing second at the regional meet the pre-vious weekend, the Lady Waves had hoped to achieve a top 15 team fi nish at the Horse Park.

Though the team didn’t reach its goal of a top 15 fi nish, Meade County head coach Larry Garner said he was proud of the girls’ per-formance before they even stepped foot on the race course at the state meet.

“Today was a learning experience,” Garner said. “Their focus this year was just getting to state. With the

girls’ team being so young, for them it was more about a learning experience.”

Meade County’s youth showed in its top fi ve fi nish-ers, which consisted of two middle school runners, a ninth and tenth grader and one lone senior.

Kaylea Neal, ninth grader, led the Lady Waves placing 78th with a time of 21:38.27. Tiffany Brown, Meade County’s second fastest fi n-isher and lone top fi ve se-nior fi nished in 105.

The Lady Waves started the state meet with a plan of trying to stay together as a team, hoping that would propel them to a top fi nish.

Mary Kate Powers, eighth grader and Meade County’s third place runner said the team wanted to stay togeth-er so they would be able to

push each other along and make it through the crowd-ed race.

“Today we ran against the best competition and we were shooting to beat the top teams,” Powers said. “We tried to stay together because the teams that do usually fi nish the best so that’s what we tried to do. It was very hard though, because there was so many runners that we got spread out and it was hard to tell who was around you.”

With the state meet hav-ing the largest amount of runners the Lady Waves has faced in one meet at any time this year, it of-fered other challenges be-sides just facing off against the top runners.

The Greenwave cross country team fell just short of its goal of placing in the top five teams with a sixth place finish at the Horse Park in Lexington on Oct. 13.

Daviess County’s Evan Ehrenheim fi nished fi rst in the Class AAA meet with the fastest time of 15:33.24.

Trinity fi nished in fi rst place with a team low of 91 points by placing its top fi ve runners in the top 35 runners. St. Xavier placed second with 105 points, fol-lowed by Daviess County’s 113, Butler with 132 and Apollo rounds out the top fi ve with 191.

Meade County fi nished with a score of 207 points and was led by fresh-man Nathan Bates’ time of 17:10.04, which was good enough for 24th place.

Coming off of his 13th place fi nish at the Regional meet on Oct. 6, Bates said he is building confi dence for the rest of his high school career and was able to put together some of his best races at end of the season.

“Race wise, how I felt, it was one of my better rac-es,” Bates said. “It’s state, so it’s just what you got to do, I guess.”

Though his team didn’t reach its top five goal, Meade County head coach THE NEWS STANDARD/JUSTIN RAY

Kayla Padgett, a cornerstone of the Lady Waves softball program the past three seasons, is taking her softball talents to Bellarmine University next year.

The Meade County shortstop, who was forced to miss her junior softball season because of a knee injury, has bounced back to sign a letter of intent to play college softball with the Knights.

Deciding on Bellarmine as her fi nal choice for college was a de-cision that Padgett said she had known was the right answer for some time now.

“I’ve known for a long time I wanted to go there, but it was reassuring when I went and stayed the night visiting the school,” Padgett said. “I really liked the small campus and the fact it’s Christian-based. The team all get along really well and they’re all pretty funny, so I think I can fi t in.”

Attending school at Bellarmine gives Padgett an opportunity to play for Knights head coach Re-nee’ Hicks, who Padgett knows well and is from the Meade County area.

“I really respect her and I’m re-ally close to her,” Padgett said.

Being able to bounce back from a torn ACL injury last year and still reaching her goal of play-ing softball in college made for a proud day for Padgett’s mother, Laura Branson.

“I’m very proud of her, but I’m always proud of her,” Bran-son said. “Last year was painful with her not being able to play. I still went to the games because of how close we are to the other girls but it was hard watching her sit out.”

Besides the opportunity of playing softball for Bellarmine, it also offers a career path that Padgett hopes to take after fi nish-ing college.

GREENWAVE DAY

“I want to be successful in school and I’m thinking about studying in physical therapy,” Padgett said.

Meade County head coach Mike Harreld consid-ers Padgett to be one of the leaders in this year’s senior class, which he thinks may be one of the best group of players in one class he hasever coached.

“Since Kayla got here, she has meant a lot to our team,” Harreld said. “Play-ing shortstop since she was a freshman and when she got here there was nobody that could compete with her (for the position) when she came in.”

Padgett has brought a defensive intensity to Meade County since ariv-ing on campus which Har-reld believes has helped her be successful on the softball fi eld and has put her in the position of hav-ing a successful career when she takes her talents to Bellarmine.

“She did an outstanding job for us for two years,” Harreld said. “Her defen-sive percentage is about .980, which is extremely high for a shortstop to have that percentage is outstanding. She is a great leader for us on the defen-sive side and we are look-ing forward to having her back this year after being out last year.”

While playing her fresh-

man and sophomore years, Padgett helped the team to a combined recordof 45-17.

After a devastating knee injury forced her to watch from the sidelines during her junior season, Padgett said she is really look-ing forward to ending her Lady Waves career on a high note.

“It was really tough watching the games and stuff,” Padgett said. “I cried a lot during the games because I wanted to be out there with the team. This season means even more to me after having to be out last year. I hope to make that extra step this year and make it to state,” Padgett said.

After seeing Padgett

play this summer, Har-reld believes Padgett is on the right track to having a great senior season.

“She was playing for an AAU team this past sum-mer against us and slid feet fi rst into home plate, which really kind of upset me because she beat us,” Harreld said. “So I wasn’t happy with that, but it just shows she is already push-ing it her hardest.”

The Lady Waves were able to put together a good season even without Padgett, fi nishing 32-6 last year.

With Padgett’s return, good things could be in store for the Meade County softball program as they head into actionthis spring.

Kayla Padgett signs her letter of intent to play softball at Bellarmine University on Nov. 16 during a ceremony at Meade County High School. From left to right sitting at table: father, Glenn Padgett, Kayla Padgett, mother Laura Branson and stepfather, Todd Branson. Teammates and friends stood behind Padgett as she signs with the Knights.

Larry Garner left the race pleased with how his team competed against the top talent in the state.

With the Greenwave’s usual number two runner Tyler Blair still recovering from being ill two weeks ago, Meade County had to get better performances from some of its lower run-ners in the biggest race of the year.

“Tyler Blair ran his heart out,” Garner said. “The highlight was Will Strick-land. He made an amazing jump today.”

With Blair not able to run his top race and fi nishing outside of Meade County’s top fi ve runners, Strickland stepped up to give one of his best performances of the season.

“I told him with a mile to go ‘Tyler’s done you got to go’,” Garner said. “You should have seen the kid take off. He passed 30 or 40 people on the last mile.”

Once Strickland heard Garner’s instructions he knew he had to pick up his pace to try to push his team into the top teams.

“I just listened to coach, he knows what’s best and he says ‘pick it up someone

is dropping off,” Strickland said. “In my mind I just said ‘run, run your heart out’ and that’s what I did.”

Senior Zach Bowen fi n-ished as the Greenwave’s second fastest runner plac-ing 35th with a time of 17:15.44. Junior Dakota Waldecker followed Bo-wen, fi nishing in 40th with a time of 17:20.14. Fresh-man Tyler Breeds placed 58th fi nishing with a time of 17:35.98 and sophomore Strickland rounded out the top fi ve in 81st with a time of 17:56.17

After competing in his last state cross country meet, Bowen said the nu-merous runners and the crowded running lanes made it even more diffi cult to run your best.

“The crowd made it re-ally hard because there are a bunch of elbows and peo-ple are bumping into you,” Bowen said. “All you hear is the thunder of everyone’s feet hitting the ground.”

The late charge through the crowded race during the last mile was even more diffi cult for Strickland, due to him being one of short-er runners competing inthe meet.

“I’m a small person and it’s hard with all the tall people,” Strickland said. “I just zigged and zagged

in and out until I was able to hit the outside andtake off.”

Meade County returns four of its top fi ve fi nish-ers from the state meet next season and should help bold well for the future of the Greenwave boys’ cross country program.

Breeds believed the race helped him take away some extra confi dence from his ability to compete well against the top runners in the state.

“It took a lot of courage for me today,” Breeds said. “I was just trying to hang

around my group of run-ners and just hold in what I could and stay up there pushing along.”

Bates has set some lofty goals for himself regard-ing the next three years running at Meade County High School.

“I hope to be fi rst in state my senior year” and “this is a step in the right direc-tion,” Bates said.

Despite not being at a 100 percent Blair was able to fi nish the race in 120th with a time of 18:22.54 and Jar-rett Gonsalves placed 153rd with a time of 18:41.83.

yard touchdown catch from quarterback Matt Britt help-ing the Generals’ jump out to the early 14-0 lead.

Despite having their backs against the wall with the early defi cit and miss-happenings on offense, the Greenwave proved they were not going to let their season end without putting up a fi ght.

Meade County defense gave a bend-don’t-break ef-fort, giving up yardage to the Generals’ but holding them scoreless the rest of regulation, while giving its offense a fi ghting chance to win the game.

The offense settled down and put together scoring drives in the second quarter on a 6-yard Liverman touch-down run and a third quarter roughing-the-kicker penalty by Lafayette helped set up a 42-yard touchdown pass from Thomas Wilson to Bo Wilson, knotting the game at 14-14.

After two goal-line stands by both teams defenses at the 1-yard line, Meade County and Lafayette’s offenses both squandered away fourth quarter scoring opportunities, sending the game into over-time with a 14-14 tie.

Meade County’s relent-less ability to keep fi ghting through the early defi cit proved to be the kind of effort Greenwave head coach Larry Mofi eld was looking for out of his team despite the outcome.

“They fought hard all night and left everything tonight,” Mofi eld said. “I can’t say enough about their efforts.”

The Generals took to of-fense fi rst in the overtime, getting the ball at Meade County’s 10-yard line due to Kentucky high school over-time rules. Johnson ran down the middle of fi eld against the Greenwave defense for a touchdown on the Generals’ second play in overtime.

On Lafayette’s ensuing extra point attempt, Meade County was charged with a roughing the kicker pen-alty as a Greenwave player ran into Matt Green as he was connecting on the extra point attempt.

The penalty pushed the Greenwave offense back 5 yards to the Lafayette 15-yard line for its opening possession

in overtime.The added 5 yards proved

not to be a problem for Meade County. The Greenwave marched the 15 yards with a Liverman rush on fi rst down for 8-yards and a second down 2-yard run by Cundiff followed by a third down 4-yard by Thomas Wilson.

Needing a scored on fourth and 1, the Greenwave turned to Cundiff, who bulldozed his way into the Lafayette de-fense and gained the needed yard for the touchdown.

“We were kind of in a hole, but we gained the 15 yards and had some momentum,” Mofi eld said.

Following, Cundiff’s touch-down run, the gambling side of Mofi eld and the Green-wave coaching staff was shown as they decided to go for the win, attempting a 2-point coversion instead of tying the game with an extra point attempt.

On the fi nal play, Meade County lined up with both of their workhorse running backs, Cundiff and Liverman, in the backfi eld similar to how they had all season.

Liverman took the snap from Wilson on the left side of the backfi eld, sweeping around to the right side of the fi eld, hoping to use his speed to beat Lafayette’s defense to the end zone.

“I tried to get wide and tried to use my speed to get out there,” Liverman said

As Liverman reached the end of the offensive line on the right side of the fi eld, he was met by two Lafay-ette defenders.

“I saw two (defenders) and I tried to cut it back and there was just nowhere to go,” Liv-erman said.

Liverman was tackled at the 1-yard line by the Gen-erals, ending the Green-wave season.

“I wanted to go for the win,” Mofi eld said. “That’s the gambling side of me and the gambling side of me lost tonight.”

Lafayette missed a chance to win the game in regulation when a 55-yard fi eld goal at-tempt by Green was wide left as time expired.

Meade County marched the ball 99 yards to the Lafay-ette 1-yard line before being stopped on a Liverman third-and-1 rushing attempt. Lafay-ette stopped Liverman for a

1-yard loss.Mofi eld sent his offense

back on the fi eld for fourth down instead of attempting the fi eld goal to put the Green-wave ahead 17-14.

The Greenwave ran a running play for Thomas Wilson but he was dropped for a three yard loss, end-ing Meade County’s scor-ing opportunity.

“I thought we had mo-mentum and when you get it that close you should be able to punch it in,” Mofi eld said. “We should have kicked the fi eld goal and gone up 17-14, so that’s poor coaching. Players make plays and I didn’t give them the best op-portunity to make the plays to win tonight.”

Liverman led the Green-wave offense in his fi nal game with 112 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 at-tempts. Cundiff rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown for Meade County.

Though Liverman and Cun-diff were able to get successful gains on their rushes, for the fi rst time lately Lafayette was able to take the running abil-ity of ThomasWilson out of the game for Meade County. Wilson was limited to only 31 yards on 14 carries.

“We were probably out-sized up front and I thought our kids fought tooth and nail, we just couldn’t come up with the play when we need-ed it,” and “bad decisions on my part took our kids out of a chance to win the football game,” Mofi eld said.

Though the Greenwave season ended abruptly in the second round of the play-offs, the season is still seen as a success.

“We put our hearts out there and left everything on the fi eld,” Liverman said. “We just came up short. I couldn’t have asked for more my se-nior year. We have turned a 1-4 season into 7-5, coming out of nowhere.”

Bo Wilson, who caught the game tying touchdown pass and also had an interception late in the fi rst half, said the team gave the ultimate effort after falling behind early be-cause of turnovers.

“Still making it a game af-ter the early turnovers says everything about our team,” Bo Wilson said. “How hard we worked all year and how much it means to everybody.

We fought the whole game, just came up a little short at the end.”

“It was so crowded through-out the whole course,” Neal said. “I couldn’t get through. You have to push through or otherwise you wont get ahead.”

Danielle Fabel, seventh grader and Lady Waves fi fth best runner used a certain technique to get through the nervousness

of running in her fi rst state cross country meet.

“At the starting line my stomach was hurting be-cause I was nervous being one of the youngest runners out there,” Fabel said.

Luckily for Fabel the race seemed to move along quickly once it started.

“For me it seemed to go by pretty fast,” Fabel said. “I just looked at the ground the whole race and just didn’t look up and went.”

Assumption won the team meet with a low score of 66 points, followed by Sacred Heart’s 109, Dupont Manual’s 109, Bowling Green’s 143 and Daviess County’s 149.

Louisville’s Sacred Heart’s Emma Brink fi nished in fi rst place with the Class AAA fastest time of 18:27.71.

Though Garner said his team gave a good showing at the state meet, he doesn’t be-lieve this was one of their bet-ter races of the season.

“I don’t think they ran their best race, but I’m happy with the season,” Garner said.

With such a young team competing in this year’s state meet for the Lady Waves, Garner expects even bet-ter performances from next year’s team.

“Now they know the course on this level,” Garner said. “Next year we will know what to shoot for and can be a top ten fi nish like we should be. They had no clue what to expect when they got here today. Being able to visualize the course next year will be very valuable.”

Pushing through the men-tal hurdles of the season and build confi dence throughout was key to this year’s team success.

“Even with all the running we do, (cross country) it’s probably 70 percent mental and 30 percent physical,” and “the teams that fi gure that out are the teams who are success-ful every year,” Garner said.

Meade County’s seven runners fi nished in the top 200 of the 226 runners at the state meet. Neal’s 78, Brown 105, Powers 109, Destiny Tim-mons 125, Fabel 172, Adalia Frye 174, and Adrienne Poole’s 193 finish.

Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources

FRANKFORT — The frost on the leaves in the pre-dawn hours along with the general nip in the air makes Kentucky deer hunt-ers happy. Modern gun deer season opened Nov. 13 for hunters.

In the excitement brought by the arrival of the most popular of deer seasons, hunters need to keep in mind some simple things to make the season productive, safe and en-sure they’ll be invited back next year.

This sounds extremely simplistic, but it always rings true: treat the landowner and their land with respect.

“Treat the property like you would want to get invited back,” said Tina Brunjes, deer and elk co-ordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “Use some common sense.”

Remember to leave gates as you found them and cross fences at the posts, not in the middle section between posts. Few things make a landowner angrier

than someone who breaks down their fence by cross-ing in the middle of the stretch between fence posts.

Replacing or repairing fences costs a lot of money and you won’t be invited back next year if you cause damage crossing one this year.

Using a gate is the best plan, even if you have to walk a distance.

“Try not to hunt along a fence that marks a proper-ty boundary,” said David Yancy, deer biologist for Kentucky Fish and Wild-life. “If your deer jumps the fence, get the landowner’s permission before your try to retrieve it. Don’t trespass.”

If you must drive across the landowner’s property, keep your vehicle on the roads. “Be careful not to rut the place up,” Yancy said. “Drive around mud-holes and don’t make them worse. Don’t drive across crop fields or pastures.”

After a successful hunt and field dressing, a hunter must dispose of a gut pile.

“Ask the landowner be-fore you discard a gut pile,”

Brunjes said. “Use your sense and don’t dump it in a creek or where a neighbor can see or smell it. Don’t dispose of it near the land-owner’s home.”

You can also offer to bury the gut pile for the land-owner, but raccoons and other critters quickly con-sume the pile if left out in the woods.

Not only does a hunter have a gut pile to dispose of after field dressing the deer, they also have a carcass.

“Do not throw them on the side of the road or on other people’s property, said Capt. Myra Minton, assistant director of law enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “You can’t leave it on a wildlife management area, either. It is considered littering and you can be cited.”

Minton suggests hunters contact their local waste re-moval company or govern-ment agency that handles trash and inquire about carcass disposal.

“Most of the time, they will dispose of the carcass at the landfill,” Minton said. “Con-tact them first, however.”

You hear stories every

year about people in a buck fever-induced panic firing at sounds in the woods with tragic con-sequences. Always know your target before you pull the trigger.

If there is any trace of doubt, pass on the shot.

Do not fire at deer on top of a ridge or hill; always have a backstop in case the bullet goes through the animal or you miss.

A bullet can travel a long distance after clearing the hill or ridge.

Also, avoid hunting near a home or outbuilding. Not many folks appreciate someone firing high-pow-ered rifles near their home, especially if they have chil-dren or pets.

Be mindful of the location of livestock such as horse or cattle. Hunt as far away from them as possible.

Horses can spook and injury themselves from the sound of a rifle discharging a round.

Modern gun deer hunting opened Nov. 13 and closes Nov. 28 in Zone 1 and Zone 2 counties. The season clos-es Nov. 22 in Zone 3 and Zone 4 counties.

Modern gun season opens, brings excitement for hunters

Deer breeding season puts them on move Kentucky Department of

Fish and Wildlife Resources

FRANKFORT — Deer movement increases in No-vember as the shorter days and longer nights of fall trig-ger the breeding season.

Motorists need to watch out for deer crossing the road at night or during the day, especially on ru-ral roads.

“Historical data indicate that deer and vehicle colli-sions in Kentucky are high-est in November,” said Tina Brunjes, deer and elk coordi-nator for the Kentucky De-partment of Fish and Wild-life Resources.

“Drivers should slow down and be alert, particu-larly in areas where woods come close to the road. Deer can quickly dart out from the wooded area and into the road.”

Drivers should not ignore those yellow signs with a deer on them. “Those signs designate high frequency deer crossing areas,” said David Yancy, deer biolo-gist with the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife.

“People forget about them, but they are important.”

The change of the seasons influences not only deer be-havior, but human behavior as well.

“Drivers need to be vigi-lant now,” Yancy explained. “The two peaks of deer ac-tivity, morning and evening,

coincide with the people going to and coming home from work.”

Deer caught in the road by an approaching ve-hicle often will not move out of the way, even when the driver honks the horn. Headlights tend to transfix these animals.

Motorists who encounter deer in the road should slow to a stop and allow the deer to cross to the other side.

Keep the headlights on so other motorists can see your vehicle.

Deer usually travel in groups, so if you see one, you’ll likely see more.

If you are traveling at night over the next month or so, be vigilant.

Deer can dart out from anywhere and cause seri-ous damage to your vehi-cle. Be especially careful on foggy nights.

Some people mistakenly blame hunting for Novem-ber deer movement, but deer move regardless of hunting pressure. “Hunting is not causing the deer to move around, breeding is,” Brunjes said.

“Hunting reduces deer densities and areas with lower deer densities have fewer collisions.”

For more information on deer and vehicle colli-sions, log on the Kentucky State Police’s web page at www.kentuckystatepo-lice.org/deerauto.htm.

Paws CornerCanine Infl uenza vs. Kennel Cough

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Can you give me any information on Ca-nine Infl uenza Virus? — Jordan C., Kansas City, Mo.

DEAR JORDAN: This relatively new virus was identifi ed about six years ago following an outbreak of a mystery illness among dogs at a race track in Jacksonville, Fla. It was determined that a horse virus had been transmitted to the dogs. Since then, Canine Infl uenza Virus has joined a list of communicable diseases to which dogs, especially those in crowded living conditions like a kennel or shelter, are vulnerable.

CIV is sometimes mistaken for kennel cough, as one of its symp-toms is coughing that can worsen after activity. However, unlike ken-nel cough, CIV is often accompanied by a runny nose, sneezing and runny eyes. In more severe cases of CIV, a high fever is present, along with loss of appetite, lethargy or depression, and sometimes diffi culty breathing. Any of these symptoms should prompt a visit to the veteri-narian to confi rm CIV and make sure pneumonia doesn’t set in.

Because CIV is a virus, antibiotics aren’t an effective cure. Treatment includes making your dog more comfortable — including cough medicine or other medicines to reduce symptoms — and keeping its immune system strong through a good diet and vitamin supplements. Prevent your pet from exposing other dogs to the virus, and monitor its condition closely in case its health worsens. The illness usually runs its course in four weeks.

Fortunately, a vaccine for the virus is available. Ask the vet about immunizing your pet, particularly if you plan to place it in a kennel or doggie daycare. More information and a clinic locator tool are avail-able at www.doginfl uenza.com.

Q: I am glad to see Tim Meadows back on television in TBS’s “Glory Daze.” Now that Conan O’Brien, Tim’s fel-low “Saturday Night Live” alumnus, is also on TBS, is there any chance he will guest-star on the show? — Ralph T., via e-mail

A: Tim Meadows’ new one-hour TBS comedy will boast a variety of comedic guest stars this season, but as of now, Co-nan is not one of them. How-ever, the show is only one de-gree of separation away fromthe late-night king.

Tim revealed: “We did haveAndy Richter (guest star). He did an episode on the show where he plays a priest, an adviser to one of the students. And it’s a really, really funny scene. And we have a lot of other guest appearances by other comedic actors that I think people are going to be very happy about.” You can catch “Glory Daze” Tuesdays on TBS.

Q: Now that “FlashForward” is over, where else can I get my Jo-seph Fiennes fi x? I miss watching him on a weekly basis. — Jenny A.in Texas

A: You and me both, Jenny. This spring, Joseph will star in the Starz original fantasy-drama “Camelot,” which tells the story of a teenage King Arthur (played by “The Twilight Saga”’s Jamie Campbell Bow-er), with Joseph playing the part of Merlin. The 10-part period drama also co-stars Claire Forlani (“Meet Joe Black”) and Eva Green (“Casino Royale”). If the series does well, it could run for multiple seasons.

Q: I collect “All in the Family” DVDs, and they seem to have stopped at Season 6. It has been a long time since they’ve put a new one out, and I wondered if and when they were planning to? — Clint K., via e-mail

A: Just in time for the holidays, “All in the Family” Season 7, which originally aired from September 1976 to March 1977, is now on store shelves. This season of the groundbreaking series -- starring Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers -- deals with infi delity, surgery, unemployment, life-saving CPR, draft-dodgers and accidental arson. You won’t have nearly as long a wait for Season 8, as it’s scheduled to be released Jan. 11, 2011.

Q: What is the meaning of MTAC, the upstairs room with the big screen and worldwide communications on “NCIS”? — Ron S.,via e-mail

A: MTAC is short for the United States Department of the Navy’s Multiple Threat Alert Center. After the bombing of the USS Cole in October 2000, as well as the terrorist events of 9/11, the Navy Antiter-rorist Alert Center (ATAC) was transformed in 2002 into the MTAC. According to the Navy’s offi cial website, “The Department of the Navy’s Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC) provides indications and warning for a wide range of threats to Navy and Marine Corps personnel and assets around the world.”

County schools honor our nation’s fighters, heroesBy Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

America’s heroes were honored during a Veterans Day ceremony at Meade County High School Tues-day, Nov. 9.

Hundreds of local vet-erans came out in droves for the ceremony, which included a dinner and recognition of all their achievements.

Some even donned their old dress blues from their days in the military.

Pictures of retired and active military members lined the glass trophy cas-es in front of the gym.

Each of the pictures rep-resented a family member or loved one of someone who has either graduated from MCHS or known someone at MCHS. The pictures ranged from all the way back to World War I to the wars in Afghani-stan and Iraq.

This is the 9th year that MCHS has held a ceremony honoring our nation’s vet-erans. The event was en-tirely student organized.

Student Sarah Hobbs spoke to the crowd about MCHS’ plan to hold a sol-dier box drive.

They plan on gather-ing items to send over to a group of U.S. Marines who have been stationed in Af-ghanistan since August.

“I thought it would be a simple way to say, ‘Thank you,’ and bring a bit of home to them around Christmas,” she said.

The 113th Army Band from Fort Knox was on hand to aid with the event by performing songs and lending their thanks to those who have served

next to them in the line of battle.

The ceremony also hon-ored those military per-sonnel absent in body and spirt with a salute with a piece performed by the MCHS band.

Payneville ElementaryIn recognition of those

who have sacrificed every-thing, Payneville Elemen-tary held a Veterans Day celebration last Thursday, Nov. 11.

Children sat in rows in the cafeteria to learn about the military and hear a firsthand account of life as a soldier. First, the stu-dents sang the “Star Span-gled Banner” and recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Students Jason Beirman, Hunter Bennett, Jordan Brown, Brandon Carter and Alexis Hammock par-ticipated in the “Passing of the Flags,” where each person brought up a flag representing the different branches of the military.

Members from the 194th Armored Training Brigade Color Guard presented the colors of the flag, as well as the Flag Folding Ceremony.

The Color Guard show-cased how each one of the 12 folds represents some-thing different. One of the members spoke about the meaning of each fold.

Fold one is for the sym-bol of life; two is a symbol of our belief in eternal life; three is for veterans; four represents our weaker nature; five is a tribute to the USA; six is for where our hearts lie; seven is for the armed forces; eight is a tribute to the one who entered the valley of the

shadow of death; nine is a tribute to womanhood; 10 is a tribute to fathers; 11 represents the lower portion of King David and King Solomon; 12 represents the emblem of eternity.

Once the Color Guard was finished folding the flag, they presented it to local veteran Wayne Mattingly.

Lieutenant Colonel Joy L. Curriera was the main speaker for the evening. She asked the youngsters about what it means to be patriotic.

The students answered everything from follow-ing the law to doing well in school. She taught them about army insignia and her deployment overseas.

But most of all, Curriera let the students know how thankful she is of their loved ones serving in the military and honoring those who paid the ulti-mate price.

“I’m honored everyday to serve our country,” she said. “But we must re-member those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and price … They are our heroes and we honor them everyday.”

David T. WilsonDavid T. Wilson dis-

played its support by holding a veterans cer-emony Thursday, Nov. 11. Fifth graders lined up in the gym and sang vari-ous patriotic songs, led by music teacher Ruth Ann Schacklett.

Pictures of family mem-bers and loved ones who have either served or as currently serving were shown in a slide show.

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

For three nights, the Meade County High School stage traveled back in time 65 years ago. It was a time where a person’s religion would ulti-mately cost them their life.

The tale was from the play “I Never Saw Another Butter-fly,” written by Celeste Ras-panti. A double cast of MCHS students filled those shoes for their performances Nov. 4-6. Raspanti was said to have adapted the play from two suitcases of drawings and po-ems that was found in the Ter-ezin concentration camp.

Drama teacher Kelly Capps

brought raw emotion to the stage with sound effects and a simple set design leaving the actors to bring the story to life.

The play was set in 1945 in the city of Prague. World War II had already begun with most of the Jewish population held in concentration camps. The play is told through the eyes of Raja Englanderova, a 14-year-old girl whose family gets taken to Terezin.

Englanderova is wise beyond her years and she stands strong throughout her difficult time in the camp. She meets up with an older wom-an named, Irena, who has tak-en it upon herself to become a

teacher for the young children in the camp. Irena encourages Raja to express herself through drawings and poems, just as the other children did.

Raja finds love with a young boy named Honza. Even though they live on opposite sides of the camp, they do anything to spend just a few minutes together. Another glimmer of hope is when Pav-el and Irca decide to spend the rest of their lives together and get married, but sadly their wedding is cut short.

Overall, the play gives a glimpse into the daily strug-gle of Jewish families during World War II and it sure sticks once the play is finished.
