A local company is the recipient of a $450,000 grant funded by the American Recov-ery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) according to a press release from Gov Steve Beshear’s of-fice last week .

Arch Chemicals Inc, in Brandenburg, is one of three companies splitting the $3.5 mil-lion federal subsidies that were available. The award was announced

in a press release from Gov. Steve Beshear’s office.

“Reduced energy consumption is critical in today’s economy,” Beshear said in the re-lease. “I am committed to reducing energy costs within state govern-ment, and I am pleased that government can partner with private in-dustry through ARRA funding to spur energy efficiency gains. The in-dustrial facility retrofit projects undertaken as a result of these grant

awards will serve as an example of the energy efficiency improve-ments that can be real-ized in the private sec-tor. Not only will the companies save money on energy costs, but the environment will bene-fit as well from reduced emissions.”

Arch Chemicals was one of thirteen firms submitting proposals to receive a cut of the funding.

The proposals were judged and selected based on criteria in-

cluding jobs created, focus on “green” jobs and the amount of en-ergy saved per grant dollar invested.

The Cabinet for Eco-nomic Development administered the pro-posal process

The grant was cre-ated to simultane-ously expedite energy efficiency industrial projects related to re-newable energy while conserving energy and reducing carbon emissions.

Public Works Director T.J. Hughes addressed the issue of an unknown person randomly leaving fi re hydrants on at the Brandenburg City Council meeting Monday, August 9.

“It’s been occurring around three weeks,” Hughes said, adding that since some of the hydrants ran for days the city is steadily loosing money with the amount of water that has been lost.

According to Hughes, four different fi re hydrants have been apart of the issue — on Old Ekron Road in front of The News Standard, in front of Myers Concrete Products, on Riverport/ HWY 933 and

Meager health benefi ts for small businesses will get a booster shot after provisions in the fed-eral health care reform bill are set to soften the blow of rising cost for Kentucky small business owners and their employees, according to a re-cent study published by Families USA and Small Business Majority.

Whether owners are supportive or opposed to the health care reform, local small businesses such as Brandenburg Pharmacy will feel the benefi ts of the tax credits.

The culturally rich banks of the Ohio River in Bran-denburg served as the locale for an authentic Native American festival last weekend.

The Educating Our Children and Honoring Our An-cestors Native American Indian Festival was hosted by Meade County Museum and Arts Council and fea-tured dance and regalia, demonstrations, storytelling and artisans.

“Basically, the event went off without a hitch,” MC-MAC president Webster Cundiff said. “On Friday, we had just over 400 students come through. And they were a great group of students.”

The group, comprised of students from Payneville,

Add a dash of Farmer’s Market, a sprin-kle of homemade dishes and bake at 350 degrees — in the end, it will equal to a night dubbed ‘A Taste of Meade County.’

The event, held last Friday at the Ex-tension Offi ce, showcased locally grown fruits and vegetables that equaled to some pretty tasty meals.

The event, sponsored by the Meade County Homemakers, brought in over 200 people who left with their bellies full.

“We had a very good turnout,” said Marilyn Craycroft, committee chairper-son for the event.

“It’s almost double what we antici-pated,” added Jennifer Bridge, county

The food was served on a U-shaped table with por-tions showcasing 14 dif-ferent recipes developed by human nutrition stu-dents at the University of Kentucky and Family and Consumer Science Agents around the state.

According to Bridge, this is an ongoing project with the UK students and they will most likely continue to create recipes in the fu-ture.

Some of the dishes at “A Taste of Meade County” included: country ham pot pie, blackberry lemon up-side cake, cornmeal grid-dle cakes, baked apples and sweet potatoes and watermelon tomato salad. Andy Mills, county exten-sion agent for agriculture and natural resources, even added his own touch with smoked pork.

The homemakers have held a tasting event for the past fi ve years, Bridge said.

Craycroft added that beforehand, the home-makers have used recipes from their homemaker cookbooks.

She noted that this is the fi rst time they have also incorporated the Farmer’s Market.

Profi ts from “A Taste of Meade County” will help homemaker projects that benefi t the community.

Overall, Craycroft said the event was a huge ac-complishment and the homemakers are plan-ning to do an event sim-ilar to this next year.

“I felt like the event was a big success,”

she said. “Without the homemakers hard work, we wouldn’t have been able to have the event.”

Contributions to the night were made by several local farms and

businesses.Other sponsors for the

night included Meade County Extension Offi ce, Meade County Farmer’s Market and Kentucky De-partment of Agriculture.

Students cycled through exhibits and performances such as Native American fl utist Jeff Hatmaker and performers “Skyhawk”, as well as dancers decked out in authentic Native Ameri-can regalia.

On Saturday, the festivi-ties restarted with a presen-tation of colors by the Ohio Valley Native American Veterans Warrior Society.

Local residents were able to observe demon-strations and interact with performers.

Whether or not the fes-tivities will return to Bran-denburg next year hinges on the success of this year’s event.

Although attendance numbers are still being crunched, the likelihood of a repeat performance next year seems favorable, ac-cording to Cundiff.

FORT KNOX — Mem-bers of Fort Knox’s 3rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) and 233rd Transportation Company recently provided funeral honors in the states of Ken-tucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michi-gan and a portion of West Virginia.

The soldiers’ participation from July 26 — August 9 provided dignifi ed military funeral honors to departed veterans.

Led by Master Sgt. Corne-lius Smith, the funeral hon-ors detail sought to bring comfort to families affected by the death of a loved one.

“Our teams with the 3d ESC and 233rd were respon-sible for providing proper military funeral honors to

veterans in our areas of re-sponsibility,” Smith said, a Greeleyville, S.C. native and supply and services non-commissioned offi cer with the 3rd ESC. “This detail was a great way to honor veterans who have served in our ranks.”

The soldiers began their initial funeral honors train-ing on June 21, in which they learned the proper etiquettes and movements required to perform during a military funeral. This in-cluded the soldiers learning where to stand during a cer-emony, and the proper way to fold the American fl ag. Smith also mentioned that the soldiers received train-ing to teach them how to deal with family members during their time of grief.

For the two units, the fu-neral detail consisted of 30

two-person teams, with 13 soldiers from the 3rd ESC and 17 from the 233rd Trans. Co. The teams were on - call 24 hours a day, includ-ing weekends. Each team consisted of a noncommis-sioned offi cer and a junior enlisted soldier.

During the ceremony, one soldier was responsible for presenting an American fl ag to a veteran’s family member while the other sol-dier was responsible for the playing of taps.

Overall, 1st Sgt. Jonathan Napier, a Yatesville, Ga., na-tive and headquarters and headquarters company fi rst sergeant with the 3rd ESC, said he was very pleased with the detail’s perfor-mance.

“What better way to pay tribute to our fallen veterans than to honor them in this

manner. This truly speaks volumes to the levels in which our soldiers perform on a daily basis.”

While performing during the ceremony, each soldier was graded on his/her per-formance by the ceremony’s funeral director. Smith said it made him proud to know that all of the 3rd ESC’s and 233rd Trans. Co. teams re-ceived excellent reviews as well as many personal com-ments.

“We did honors once dur-ing our recent cycle and I received a phone call after-wards from a retired ser-geant major that was part of the family, complementing our soldiers work,” Smith said. “That type of compli-ment made the whole fu-neral honors detail worth-while for myself and the soldiers.”

THE NEWS STANDARD/CASEY TOLLIVER

Deb Smith of Falmouth, Ky., dances along with Native Americans at a recent festival held in Brandenburg.

Voters won’t choose Kentucky’s next governor until November 2011, but the campaign’s already underway.

Right now, the odds-on favorite remains incumbent Gov. Steve Beshear. Money talks, and he has a lot of it.

Beshear likely will avoid offering controversial so-lutions to the common-wealth’s most pressing problems. Plus, unless there’s major scandal, Ken-tucky voters have short memories. So the sting of Beshear’s disastrous, risk-free performance during this year’s budget session in Frankfort likely will have worn off.

It’s unknown how much the TEA Party’s aggressive agenda against govern-ment growth, overspend-ing and failure — primarily at the national level — will impact state races. If the movement continues its present momentum, then big-government liberals such as Beshear and much of the Louisville contingen-cy in the legislature could be in for a fi ght.

Also, the early entrance of charter schools advocate (and former Bluegrass In-stitute board member) Phil Moffett, a Louisville busi-nessman, offers the possi-bility of making this cam-paign about an issue more diffi cult for voters to over-look or ignore: education.

Voters might forget bungled budget sessions that last only 60 days ev-ery other year (or should). However, the poor perfor-mance of Kentucky schools — open 177 days each year — should not get cast aside as easily. Since economic is-sues usually rate highest at the ballot box, challengers who can tie a failing public-education system to voter pocketbooks may succeed.

Kentuckians have heard so much about the com-monwealth’s low educa-tional rankings through the years that they have almost become inoculated against catching a fever for change. Instead, voters need candi-dates — TEA party or oth-ers — who connect the dots concerning what a failing education system means for Kentucky’s economic future. Here is some dot-connecting to consider:

• Federal and state gov-ernment data shows that more than 786,000 Ken-tucky students who passed

through the eighth grade since the 1990 Kentucky Education Reform Act did not achieve profi ciency in math skills needed for suc-cess.

• This means those stu-dents will struggle if or when they try to further their education.

• That is why only one out of four Kentuckians has a two- or four-year college degree.

• That means that every year Kentucky fails to im-prove its education system, its students move closer to the precipice of a failing economic future.

“The jobs of the future are not going to be the jobs of your father,” Education Commissioner Terry Hol-liday recently told the Ken-tucky Chamber of Com-merce.

Holliday, citing a Georgetown University report, said Kentucky is on the way to becoming a “third-tier state,” meaning the jobs available when the economy recovers will not be the high-paying jobs seen in other states or countries with an educated workforce.

“If we don’t have the high-paying jobs in Ken-tucky employment, that impacts the economy,” Hol-liday said.

But breaking through to voters on this issue requires offering viable solutions – a tough task considering staunch defenders of the status quo, including teach-er unions and their legisla-tive pals, have developed a real talent for making fail-ure sound good and sound policy appear extreme.

For example, despite the fact that charter schools have thrived for 20 years and have grown to 5,000 strong with an enrollment of 1.5 mil-lion students nationwide, teacher union boss Sharron Oxendine referred to them as a “new radical idea” on a recent “Kentucky Tonight” program.

The best evidence suggests that low-performing students who remain in charters begin to outperform their tradition-al public-school peers after three years. This is nothing short of impressive, consid-ering many of these children are minority, low-income stu-dents who arrive at charter schools already far behind.

Admittedly, such im-proved educational results would be a “radical” change for many Kentucky schools and students.

Jim Waters is vice president of policy and communications for the Bluegrass Institute, Kentucky’s free-market think tank.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is some sort of bigot. In a speech about the ground zero mosque and religious free-dom, Bloomberg stipulated that “it is fair to ask the or-ganizers of the mosque to show some special sensitiv-ity to the situation.”

Why do they, of all the sects represented in New York, have to show “spe-cial sensitivity”? Does the mayor demand “special sensitivity” of St. Paul’s Church, the Episcopal parish a few blocks from Ground Zero? And who appointed him arbiter of “special sensitivity”?

The mayor unloosed a self-righteous oration about how critics of the project are disgracing the memory of fi refi ghters who died in 9/11, among other offenses

against truth, justice and the American way. But even he had to admit that there’s something different about building a mosque so close to the site of a horrifi c, his-tory-changing act of Islamic terrorism. What Bloomberg refuses to see is that those who want to block the mosque are demanding a truly meaningful gesture in “special sensitivity.”

Namely, moving it else-where. If the founders of the project are as serious about interfaith bridge-building as they say, they’d be de-lighted to fi nd a less con-troversial location. Rubbing hurt feelings raw is not an act of understanding. Stok-ing a religiously charged de-bate at Ground Zero is not a blow for tolerance. They are provocations, by people who are either witless or un-derstand exactly what they are doing.

It is true that Islam as such is not responsible for 9/11, but symbolism and the sen-sibilities of New Yorkers

and victims of 9/11 can’t be discounted. When the Anti-Defamation League bravely bucked elite opinion to op-pose the project, its national director, Abe Foxman, made an illuminating comparison with a Carmelite convent es-tablished outside Auschwitz in the 1980s.

Carmelites were not a cog in Adolf Hitler’s death ma-chine. Survivors of the Ho-locaust and Jewish groups nonetheless found the Catholic outpost offensive, which was enough for Pope John Paul II to ask the nuns to move. True interfaith bridge-building is made of such forbearance.

The organizers of the mosque, in contrast, relish their hot-button address. Feisal Abdul Rauf, the project’s imam, won’t con-demn the Palestinian terror group Hamas. Asked about Hamas in a recent radio in-terview, he said, “Terrorism is a very complex question,” the stock answer of anyone excusing terrorism. “I am a

peace builder,” he explained — so long as peace-build-ing doesn’t require saying a discouraging word about the Palestinian murderers of innocent Jews.

Even if Rauf has the best of intentions, a $100 million mosque is an open invitation to Saudi funding. Nina Shea of the Hudson Institute has documented how Saudi ma-terials at American mosques exhort Muslims to spill the blood of infi dels and Jews, in interfaith bridge-building Wahhabi-style. If the ground zero project relies on Saudi money, the desert monarchy will have pulled a perverse twofer -- funding the radical version of Islam that created ground zero, then funding the mosque that outraged the families of the victims.

No thanks. Good taste and common sense should prevail, or what Mayor Bloomberg, in his surpass-ing wisdom, calls “special sensitivity.”

“Who’s On First?”Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the legendary pair

of comedians from the 1940s, became stars because of a routine they performed entitled, “Who’s On First?”

For those too young to remember, Abbott was the manager of a baseball team and he kept trying to describe to Costello which persons played which positions on the team.

Costello became more and more frustrated when he was told “Who” played first base.

“‘Who’ is the man’s name,” Abbott replied. “‘Who’s’ on first, ‘What’s’ on second, and ‘I Don’t Know’ is on third.”

There appears to be that type of organizational order when it comes to the Meade County Road De-partment if last week’s discussion at Meade County Fiscal Court is any indication.

After the Fiscal Court meeting last week, there doesn’t seem to be an agreement on just who is sup-posed to do what.

The problem came to light when the court was asked to approve a road.

The county director of planning had the signed evaluation showing the road had met county specifi -cations and was qualifi ed to be approved.

But, Esquire Herbert Chism noted the evaluation had been signed by the assistant road superinten-dent and not by the superintendent himself.

Chism said ordinances require the head of the de-partment to sign such forms, but it appears the mag-istrate may not have read the policies and ordinances in question before making his claim.

County regulations say the request shall be sent by the county planning director to “the appropriate county offi cial for inspection.”

So, in the case of approving a road, that would be the road superintendent.

But, in this case, there was a time frame that had to be met by the court under law. Otherwise, the roads would automatically be placed under county control.

That required the evaluation to be done at a time when Road Superintendent Mark Popham was not available.

Therefore, Assistant Road Superintendent Jeff Padgett performed the evaluation and signed the form.

Chism remained firm during the Fiscal Court ses-sion in his belief Padgett’s signature was not ad-equate and made a motion, approved by the court, that Popham go back out and do another evalua-tion himself.

All of this suggests a potential problem with the line of authority in county departments.

There aren’t many major companies, corpora-tions or organizations that do not have a line of succession in place. Should the head of the depart-ment, company, or organization not be available or not able to serve, there is normally someone who is authorized to serve in that capacity.

They are given all the powers of the lead per-son should important and/or immediate decisions need to be made.

Meade County does have such a line of succes-sion at least for the department in question and, here again, Chism appears not to have researched county policies before making his statements.

There is a written policy that gives the job de-scription of the assistant road superintendent.

It states “the assistant will perform the supervi-sor’s duties in his absence.”

This policy seems to make it clear that Padgett had the authority to carry out any responsibility normally served by Popham in his absence.

In forcing the delay for another evaluation, the Fiscal Court has cost time and money for a devel-oper who is developing a new tax base for Meade County.

So, why is there any question at all about who is supposed to do what?

The court’s discussion suggests several questions:Is Mr. Popham fully meeting his responsibilities

as supervisor?Is Mr. Padgett qualified to be assistant — a posi-

tion that normally would require him to take over the duties should Mr. Proham not be available?

Is the court suggesting there is no need for assis-tant department heads to be deemed able to take the lead when necessary?

Are our magistrates taking the time needed to re-search and be fully informed about issues they have to decide on?

The scenario presents itself this way: What if a major roadway was severely damaged and needed immediate action and Mr. Popham is not available?

Would Fiscal Court have to meet and give Mr. Padgett the authority to do what was necessary to fix such a major problem?

This is in no way questioning the abilities of ei-ther road department officer or the intentions of the magistrate.

However, we do hope all representatives on Fiscal Court take the time to know the policies and regu-lations by which they have to judge the issues that come before them.

And, we do hope that in the case of real need or emergency, it is clear to everyone serving in county government “Who’s on first?”

The congregation of First Baptist Church of Brandenburg held a “Baptism at the Creek” last Sunday afternoon at the Doe Run Inn.

Pastor Sherman Ramsey and Minister of Youth and Children Steve Butler per-formed the baptisms of ten candidates as church members, relatives and friends watched from the creekside.

Friends and relatives of the candidates read a Bible scripture as a prelude to each baptism.

Each candidate received a Bible, a rose, and a certificate of baptism after the service.

Minister of Music Roxanne Nanney led the gathered in the hymn, “In Christ Alone” as the service’s postlude.

Romans 8: 34 says, “Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” (KJV)

One of the most glorious truths of the Christian life is that the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose for our justifi cation, now lives to intercede for us before God.

The greatest example of in-tercessory prayer in the Bible is in John 17, where the Lord poured out His heart for His disciples. “I pray for them,” he said, “I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast

given me; for they are thine.” (John 17: 9) But that was not all.“ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.“ (John 17: 20) And that’s us. That includes us.

What is it that he prays for? First of all, He prays for our security. “Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.“ (John 17: 11)

Then he prays that we might have real victory over sin and the devil. “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.” (John 17: 15)

His next request is: “Sanc-tify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.“ (John 17: 17) Our sanctifi cation will come, therefore, not ßthrough some special ex-perience, but through God’s Word.

He also prays for true uni-ty among His true disciples: “that they all may be one; as thou Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in is: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.“ (John 17: 21)

Finally, He prays for our ultimate glorifi cation. “Fa-ther, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me.“ We can be assured that the Father will grant these re-quests of His beloved son.

If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morning service starts at 11 a.m.We in-vite you to listen to our week-ly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m.

Brandenburg United Methodist Church will welcome Cameron Mills on Sunday, August 22, at 7 p.m., when he shares his message during the tip-off for the church’s fall half-time session. The event is free and open to the public, but a love offering for Cam-eron Mills Ministries will be received.

When Cameron Mills walked on to the University of Kentucky basketball team in 1994, he had no idea that he’d walk away with a full scholarship and two NCAA titles. Although it was a dream fulfi lled, Cameron

will be the fi rst to tell you that the glitter of a champi-onship ring is temporal and quickly fades.

During his basketball ca-reer, Cameron co-authored a book, A Dream Come True, and was featured in Sports Illustrated, Sports Spec-trum, The Wall Street Jour-nal, USA Today, the Boston Globe and in stories on CBS and CNNSI.

Though basketball has been a big part of Mills’ life, his calling since he was 12 has been ministry. In June of 1998, he began Cameron Mills Ministries, Inc. Since then he has been speaking to schools, youth groups, and churches. He has held reviv-als and spoken at Christian

music festivals, and college chapels. Although interest is piqued by his affi liation with the winningest col-lege basketball program in the country, Mills holds his audience’s attention by delivering a high energy, thought-provoking, Bible-based message.

Today, Mills travels the country doing youth ral-lies, retreats and church services. He also does pub-lic speaking on abstinence from drugs, alcohol and sex, and being a true champion. From his past experiences, God has given Cameron a platform to reach his ulti-mate goal — sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“I totally agree that if they’re going to force businesses to have health care, they should help them out,” Brandenburg Pharmacy owner Adam Rob-inson said. “As far as a busi-ness standpoint, it’s going to be a good thing. And it’s going to be a good thing as a whole, if it’s going to get more people going to see a doctor.”

Higher premiums are gen-erally offered to smaller busi-nesses, meaning health care benefits are generally cost prohibitive.

As a result of the tax credits, qualifying small businesses with 25 or fewer employees will be eligible for tax credits this year.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, passed in December 2009, coupled with the Health Care and Ed-ucation Reconciliation Act of 2010, which was signed into law on March 30, is expected to help cut prices of health care costs for those small businesses.

Because smaller businesses are less likely to provide health care benefits for employees, access to healthcare could be within reach to many who could not afford it before.

The health care tax credits will allow businesses to stabi-lize the balancing act of main-taining profits while provid-ing health care for employees

Only four out of 10 small businesses in Kentucky offer coverage.

Brandenburg Pharmacy is one of those businesses.

The value of the credit, which lasts until 2014, is up to 35 percent of the employer’s cost of employee coverage, according to the report.

Nonprofit employers are afforded a reimbursement of up to 25 percent.

The bigger the business, the smaller the amount of the tax credit available

The full 35 percent tax cred-it is extended to the smallest firms — those with 10 em-ployees or fewer who earn less than $25,000.

Brandenburg Pharmacy of-fers its employees health and dental benefits if they choose to take it.

Out of the seven employees, five have signed up for the benefits. The employees who choose not to take the health benefits are generally covered by a spouse’s benefits, Robin-son said.

More than 51,000 of Ken-tucky’s 57,400 small business-es will be eligible for health care tax credits.

Out of those firms, 15,800 will be eligible for the maxi-mum premium tax credits.

Other affects of the health care reform act will come to fruition n the future.

Beginning in 2014, small business owners will be able to shop for and compare ben-efits through state health in-surance exchanges.

Health plans will be re-quired to meet consumer pro-tection and quality standards, according to the report.

Plans exercising unreason-able plan hikes in the years prior to 2014 will be excluded from selling coverage in the exchanges.

Another change appearing

in 2014 will be that insurers will not be allowed to increase rates for pre-existing health conditions.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, passed in December 2009, coupled with the Health Care and Ed-ucation Reconciliation Act of 2010, which was signed into law on March 30, is expected to help cut prices of health care costs for those small businesses.

Because smaller businesses are less likely to provide health care benefits for employees, access to healthcare could be within reach to many who could not afford it before.

“If you force them (employ-ees) to take it now, it’s going to help them save thousands down the road, like with cancer treatment and other things. It’s obviously going to help because health care isn’t cheap,” Robinson said.

Winning a share of the grant money isn’t the first time the company has been

St. John’s Catholic Church and HWY 933 where some-one had taken a hose, put it over the river bank and left it on for days.

Hughes doesn’t know the exact amount of water loss, though he says it’s costing the city money.

“It’s expensive to play little games like that,” he said, adding that it causes a trickle down affect since it involves the police depart-ment, fire department and the water district. Hughes has also notified those units to keep a look out for suspicious activity.

“The person who is

leaving them on could be anybody with mechanical knowledge,” Hughes said. “I think it’s somebody who knows what they’re doing.”

This random action would be taken seriously by the Brandenburg Police Department. According to Chief Jeff Cox, by leaving the hydrants on it equals to a Class A Misdemeanor since it would be consid-ered vandalism and crimi-nal trespassing. He added that it could equal up to a year in jail.

However, Cox was quick to note that every situation is different and the police department is currently in-vestigating the situation.

Since Hughes and his department found out

about the water loss, they have to keep an extra eye on the fire hydrants every-day.

“We now make it a point to look at those hydrants a couple times a day,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of the time, our trucks will be there if it’s left on.”

Mayor David Pace said he was baffled by the hy-drant situation.

“We’ve never had some-one that thinks it funny to leave the hydrants on,” Pace said at the council meeting.

Overall, Hughes is amazed someone just feels like randomly leaving fire hydrants run.

“I’ve never seen some-thing like this before,” Hughes said.

Groundbreaking ceremo-nies for the new Meade County Public Library have been set for Tuesday, Sep-tember 7 at 10 a.m.

Rachael Baelz, library di-rector, said the ceremonies would include children from the library’s story hour wearing hard hats to help with the ceremonial shovel-ing of the ground.

Baelz added refreshments would be served and invita-tions to dignitaries are go-ing out this week.

Baelz met with contrac-tors and subcontractors

at a meeting Thursday to help finalize all the techni-cal plans involved with the construction.

Justin McElfresh, project manager with Sherman, Carter, Barnhart, said he expected the contractors to be “chomping at the bit” to begin mobilizing on the Old Ekron Road site quickly.

McElfresh also said he doesn’t anticipate many traffic problems associated with the construction ex-cept for the times when ma-terials are being transported onto the site.

The anticipated date for completion of the facility is Sept. 1, 2011.

I, Randall Hardesty would like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for re-election for 6th district magistrate.

I have enjoyed working for and helping the citizens of my district as well as all of Meade County to make it a better place to live and raise our families.

If re-elected, I will continue to work to get the needs for the citizens of the 6th district, as well as helping for the bet-terment of all Meade County.

In the past four years I have voted to keep our tax rates same and at the same time managed to get the debt at solid waste paid off. I worked to get the 40 plus miles of new water lines which are under construc-tion at this time through out the 6th district.

I have an open door policy and am on call 24-7 to take your concerns and questions.

At this time I am asking for your support for re-election as 6th district magistrate.

Local Happenings...

Submitted byMeade County Chamber of Commerce

Meade Countians visiting this yearís Kentucky State Fair should be sure to visit the exhibit being staged by Meade County Tourism.

This year ’s exhibit — double the size of the one mounted last year — focuses on things that draw visi-tors to Meade County, such as its award-winning county fair, its role in the Civil War, and attractions as diverse as the local farmers’ mar-ket and the Clothesline of Quilts.

“We think this will be our best-ever exhibit,” said Russ Powell, executive director of the Meade County Area Chamber of Com-merce, which operates the tourism office for Meade County and the City of Brandenburg.

“Deciding to increase the exhib-it’s size to 10-by-40 feet will allow us to focus on the Meade County Fair, our community’s biggest at-traction,” he said.

New this year will be Neal and Melissa Allen’s competitive pulling truck, named Red Rock, and one-tenth scale remote-control pulling trucks and tractors assembled by enthusiast C.W. Hesler.

Again this year, part of the ex-hibit area will be devoted to cham-pionship items from this yearís Meade County Fair and videos of the fair ’s nationally recognized truck and tractor pulls.

The exhibit will be in the Pride of the Counties section of the fair, located in South Wing A at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center in Louisville. It will be open from

9 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day of the fair ’s run, which begins August 19 and ends August 29.

In addition to seeing the exhibit, visitors will be able to visit with their fellow Meade County resi-dents who have volunteered to staff it during the fair, says Powell.

“We’re fortunate to have a cadre of loyal volunteers who enjoy at-tending the fair and extolling the virtues of Meade County,” he says.

Those volunteers will be:Jeff & Judy Adkisson, Rick & Ann

Allen, Neal & Melissa Allen, Joe & Norma Bartley, Greg & Shirley Bea-vin, Laura Branson, Charles & Kay Briggs, Gary Chapman, Mickey & Dianne Chism.

Mary Coghill, Harry & Marilyn Craycroft, Larry & Roxann Curts, Daryl & Joyce Durbin, Rae-Ann Embry, Shirley Fackler, Cari Fla-herty, Tim Gossett, Jim Greer.

George & Barbara Hecht, Allegra Hecht, C.W. & Tammy Hesler, Ron-nie & Flo Joyner, David & Karen Kinder, Greg & Michelle Lawson, Amy Lawson, David Pace, Char-lotte Shepard, Jasmine Shepard, Barry Stewart, Logan Stewart, and Lorrie Young.

“Just as important as the vol-unteers who staff our exhibit are the people and organizations that make the exhibit possible by pro-viding items, transportation, and other kinds of support,” Powell said.

In particular, he cites:• Neal and Melissa Allen, who

will provide their pulling truck for the exhibit and transport it to Lou-isville.

• J.T. Barger, whose popular re-

built wagon will be on display once again.

• Billy Barnes, whose award-winning cornhole board will be ex-hibited.

• Ann Duncan, whose award-winning apron will be exhibited.

• American Rental, which will provide video equipment.

• Jennifer Bridge, an agent at the Meade County Cooperative Ex-tension Service, who is gathering items for the exhibit from Meade County Fair winners.

• Elizabeth Burns, whose award-winning model carousel will be ex-hibited.

• Daryl and Joyce Durbin, who will transport all the equipment and items needed for the exhibit to Louisville and help with its stag-ing.

• Doug Elstone, who will help with staging and staffing the ex-hibit.

• C.W. Hesler, who is securing the one-tenth scale pulling trucks and tractors and who will stage them in the exhibit.

• Karen McCool, whose award-winning quick bread will be exhib-ited.

• Frank Mudd, whose award-winning watermelon will be exhib-ited.

• David Pace, mayor of Branden-burg and manager of the Meade County Fair, who will provide vid-eos of the truck and tractor pulls.

• Virgie Walker, whose award-winning tablerunner will be exhib-ited.

• Shannon Wardrip, whose award-winning cross-stitchery will be exhibited.

Editor’s Note: This is the fourth story in a seven-part series concerning different aspects of a student’s life in Meade County and the opportunities available to them.

Khaki pants, plaid skirts and loafers are just a few ex-amples of what some kids have to wear each day when they attend school.

Some of the rules that come with uniform policies include what color socks to wear, always keeping shirttails tucked in, no “gang related” items and keeping a certain hair length.

In Meade County, uniform policies are a bit different and not as strict.

The Meade County Board of Education doesn’t decide to implement uniform poli-cies; in fact, each school is governed by a “Site Based Decision Making Council (SBDM),” who ultimately set the policies and guidelines. Each council is made up of three teachers and two par-ents.

According to Amy Berry, coordinator of Student Ser-vices, the goal of the SBDM is student achievement by improving school programs, approving school budgets, selection of personnel and creating policies. Most of the work is done through com-mittees; those committees cre-ate a plan and submit it to the council for approval.

For example, if someone wanted to create a uniform policy at Stuart Pepper Mid-dle School they could cre-ate a committee and prepare a tentative plan. Berry said they also have the option to “go through an existing com-mittee. Schools even have a committee for school climate and culture, which would be a perfect fit for uniform poli-cies.”

Superintendent Mitch Crump compared uniform guidelines to starting a new job. For instance, if he worked at UPS he said he would fol-low their uniform guidelines as a sign of respect.

“When parents or business-es make policies you have to respect that,” he said.

Currently, David T. Wilson Elementary and Brandenburg Primary are the only Meade County schools that have uni-form policies.

Brandenburg Primary’s guidelines states “uniformity will consist of pants, skirts, shorts, “skorts”, or jumpers in navy or khaki colors and a white, navy, hunter green

or burgundy button down blouse or polo shirt with col-lar. Tennis or athletic shoes with rubber soles, that either tie or Velcro fasten. Please no slip on shoes.”

At D.T.W, they don’t have a shoe policy and the uniform policy is more relaxed. Stu-dents can also wear a white, maroon, hunter green or navy collar shirt; a solid color t-shirt that has the school logo on it.

“Some kids go out and get their own t-shirts and put our logo on it,” said Donna Foushee, principal at D.T.W. “But for the most part, ours are cheap enough to get them here.”

According to Foushee, DTW has a relaxed uniform procedures and just this year they decided to allow stu-dents to have their shirttails untucked. Foushee said she couldn’t be happier with the new rule.

“Most people don’t like to tuck their shirts in,” she added.

The laid-back guidelines equals to more time focused on the vital aspect of school.

“The more rules you make the more time you have to spend enforcing them,” Foushee said. “If you put all your energy on enforcing rules like that, you don’t have time to do the important things. So it’s more about building rela-tionships with the kids.”

While some say uniforms take away from a students’ individuality, Foushee said it’s important to create fewer distractions so students can focus on their schoolwork.

“I think individuality needs to be about being a good person, helping each other out, being respectful — they can show that through their work,” she added.

Uniform guidelines also help break down social bar-riers so students won’t feel left out if they aren’t wearing the newest brand of clothing, Foushee noted.

“They don’t have to worry about name brands because everybody is wearing the same shirt,” she said.

Prior to D.T.W., Foushee taught at Stuart Pepper Mid-dle School, where they don’t have a uniform policy. She had mixed feelings about coming into D.T.W with uni-forms.

“I never thought I based my opinions about kids on their clothing,” she said. “I didn’t realize, though, how much I put them in a group. I knew, for instance, these were my deer hunters because they wore camo all the time. Or, here is my goth kids because they wore black … You know without even realizing it, you

made assumptions.”After some time at DTW,

Foushee began to appreci-ate uniforms. “When I came here, every kid had the same haircut just about and had the same shirts on,” she said. “So I think it helps everyone blend in and feel better.”

For the most part, Foushee said she has heard nothing but positive reception to the uniform policies.

Not everyone agrees with the aspect of uniforms. Par-ents or guardians can voice their concerns to their schools’ SBDM council, Crump said.

“Parents, for the most part, love it because they don’t have arguments over what the kid is going to wear to school that day,” Foushee said. “It’s much easier to get dressed, go shop-ping and it’s less expensive.”

According to Foushee, the price of shirts went up one dollar at DTW — thus raising the price of shirts to $7. They go through a locally owned company that tries to keep prices low and the quality high.

However Foushee said there have been many cir-cumstances where families couldn’t afford the uniforms. In these situations, the Family Resource Center steps in and helps get uniforms. There are also times set aside, such as the Back to School Bash held July 31, where families can bring in old uniforms and do-nate them to other parents.

As a parent, Crump’s per-sonal experience with uni-forms has been nothing but positive.

“It’s been a pretty good thing for the family,” he said. “It’s an easy routine.”

That routine consists of buy-ing the t-shirts at the school and buying khaki pants al-most anywhere.

“School uniforms are pretty economical,” Crump said.

Crump and his wife save money on uniforms for their three boys by buying at a discount rate, only allow-ing them to be worn during school hours and handing them down once each boy is done with them.

Foushee said her main goal

regarding uniforms is to take away disruptions and con-centrate education.

“If anything becomes a problem about being a dis-traction, taking away from a students’ learning or causing a behavior problem, we ad-dress it,” she said. “But for the most part, students are doing a great job.”

A10 - The News Standard Friday, August 20, 2010FEATURESTaking a dog-leg left into Eubank appliance history

Doggone that Ed Buis anyway.

If my wife Carol and I hadn’t stopped by to meet Eubank’s living legend, per-haps we wouldn’t have a new puppy who is rapidly chewing up our furniture.

It all happened just this way. We were walking through the cemetery next to the old Eubank High recently when a col-larless, cute and friend-ly pooch came up to us.Carol remarked that if we knew she didn’t have an owner, we shouldclaim her.

Meanwhile, we decide that while in town it might be interesting to step in the nearby Buis Appliance & Furniture.

Being Somerset natives, we’d both heard of Ed Buis all our lives, mostly through advertisements for his business on Main, but had never met the man. We even wondered aloud if a person we senior citi-zens had been aware of in our teens could stillbe alive.

We soon discover the 86-year-old silver-haired Casey County native is very much alive and looking dapper in stylish clothing with a western theme.

It is also evident that the town’s resident histo-rian has lots of stories to share. So, plans are made for an interview

session.Fast forward a week and

I’m back in Eubank for what I anticipate will be a lengthy sit-down discussion with Ed and his family.

Driving along the street, I see our doggie friend,

still wander-ing around the cemetery. The

Bentleys, a nice couple

who live near-by, tell me the dog was abandoned after giving

birth to a litter of puppies.They say other neighbors have been feeding her and suggest she needs a per-manent home away from the busy roadways, where she’s likely to be hit sooner or later.

Long story short … the puppy has a new home in Lawrenceburg, Ky.

The other long story out of Eubank, impossible to make short, involves the life and times of Ed Buis.I think we took a liking

to each other right away. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact I had served as editor of his hometown newspaper, The Casey Coun-ty News, in the mid to late 70s.He has been a regular reader of the Casey News and the Commonwealth-Journal (where I got my start in jour-nalism in 1970) for decades, according to his son, Doug.

The story of how he came to start his business in Eu-bank has already been re-ported by another living

legend, the Commonwealth-Journal’s Bill Mardis, so there’s no sense trying to improve on perfection.However, I fi nd it fascinat-ing listening to him describe life in his beloved adopted hometown.

It’s hard to imagine Eu-bank being home to 23 gro-cery stores in 1943, but he says that was the case when Main was a part of U. S. 27.

Residents also had the option of traveling by bus or train to Somerset. Train tickets were 10 centseach way.

His tales of providing cus-tomers with appliances when electricity was fi rst made available to the rural areas serve to remind me of the mid-1950s when I would ac-company my dad on deliver-ies for the W. D. Gover Furni-ture Company in Somerset.

I’ve never forgotten being at one very rural residence where my dad asked the lady of the house the time of day.She told her son to “go out-side and look” and I could see him squinting as he stared up at the bright sun.“Looks like about 12:30, momma,” the boy said, thus introducing me to what my dad later explained was“sun time.”

Despite being a handsome gentleman, Ed was on “slow time” in the matrimony department, remaining a bachelor until 1956 when he caught the eye of a pretty young widow working at

FirstState Bank.He points out that the mar-

riage has survived despite the time his young bride, the former Helen Joyce Bar-ron, fell for another man.With a twinkle in his eye, he explains how customers were invited to the store to watch shows when color televi-sions were fi rst introduced.A favorite was Bonanza, fea-turing the Cartwright boys, Little Joe, Hoss, and Adam.“My wife was pretty struck on Adam,” Ed said.

Any possible jealousy on Ed’s part was probably ne-gated by the fact nearly ev-ery person viewing the TV’s ordered one brought out to their home “Along with the best antenna you’ve got,” Ed recalled.

Serving customers well has long been the policy of Ed and Helen Buis and is continuing through Doug, who is president of the company, and his two sons Shaun, 22, andCris, 20.

Next month, they will mark “67 years on Main” with an anniversary sale, of-fering big savings on every-thing in stock plus live en-tertainment, prize drawings and refreshments at Eubank City Park.

The day can’t come soon enough for us.Goodness knows we could use some new fur-niture, and I’m sure the new puppy will appreci-ate having a taste of home.

It’s hot, and like many of you, one of my favorite ways to cool off is with a bowl of ice cream. Vanilla ice cream continues to be America’s fl avor of choice.

Ice cream’s origins are known to reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specifi c date of origin or inventor has been indisputably credited with its discovery.

We know that Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice fl avored with honey and nectar. Biblical refer-ences also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting. During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D. 54-86) frequently sent run-ners into the mountains for snow, which was then fl avored with fruits and juices.

More than a thousand years later, Marco Polo re-turned to Italy from the Far East with a recipe that closely resembled what is now called sherbet. His-torians estimate that this recipe evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16th century. England seems to have discovered ice cream at the same time, or perhaps even earlier, than the Ital-ians. “Cream Ice,” as it was called, appeared regularly at the table of Charles I dur-ing the 17th century.

It wasn’t until 1660 that ice cream was made avail-able to the general public. The Sicilian Procopio in-troduced a recipe blend-ing milk, cream, butter and eggs at Cafe Procope, the fi rst cafe in Paris.

The fi rst offi cial account of ice cream in the New World comes from a letter written in 1744 by a guest of Maryland Governor Wil-liam Bladen. Records kept by a Chatham Street, New York, merchant show that President George Washing-ton spent approximately $200 for ice cream during the summer of 1790. Presi-dent Thomas Jefferson’s slave chef, James Hemings, is said to have a favorite 18-step recipe for an ice-cream delicacy that resembled a modern-day baked Alaska.

Around 1800, insulated ice houses were invented. Manufacturing ice cream soon became an industry in America, pioneered in 1851 by a Baltimore milk dealer named Jacob Fussell. Due to ongoing technological ad-vances, today’s frozen dairy production in the United States is more than 1.6 bil-lion gallons annually.

Wide availability of ice cream in the late 19th cen-tury led to new creations.

In 1874, the American soda-fountain shop and the profession of the “soda jerk” emerged with the invention of the ice-cream soda. In re-sponse to religious criticism for eating “sinfully” rich ice-cream sodas on Sun-days, ice-cream merchants left out the carbonated wa-ter and invented the ice-cream “Sunday” in the late 1890s. The name was even-tually changed to “sundae” to remove any connection with the sabbath.

Today, ice-cream ma-chines make it easy for home cooks to prepare their favorite fl avor of this deli-cious, frozen dessert. Try this wonderful ice-cream

recipe, and beat the heat with a frozen treat

Frozen custard ice cream

Don’t let a favorite home-made ice cream using with raw eggs cramp your style with a possible food-borne illness. Substitute an egg-based ice-cream recipe made from a cooked, stirred cus-tard, such as the following recipe and variations from the American Egg Board.

6 eggs2 cups milk 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups whipping cream 1 tablespoon vanilla

1. In medium saucepan, beat together eggs, milk, sugar and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin fi lm and reaches at least 160 F. Cool quickly by set-ting pan in ice or cold water and stirring for a few min-utes. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least one hour.

2. When ready to freeze, pour chilled custard, whip-ping cream and vanilla into 1-gallon ice-cream freezer container. Freeze, accord-ing to manufacturer’s direc-tions, until fi rm. Makes 1 1/2 to 2 quarts.

Variations: Banana Nut: Reduce va-

nilla to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Cook and cool as above. Stir three large ripe banan-as, mashed, and 1/2 cup chopped, toasted pecans into custard mixture. Freeze as above.

Chocolate: Add three squares (1 ounce each) un-

sweetened chocolate to egg mixture. Cook, cool and freeze as above.

Strawberry: Omit vanilla. Cook and cool as above. Partially freeze. Add 2 cups sweetened, crushed fresh strawberries. Complete freezing.

Oh how delicious are those wonderful August vegetables and fruits.

In January, we think back with fondness on those juicy tomatoes of late summer, those sweet, sweet ears of corn and the fl eshy peaches.

There is a way to enjoy the harvests of summer, by canning.

Canning can be safe and economical when done properly, not to mention a source of pride for theeffort.

According to the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture’s booklet on canning, if vege-tables are handled properly and canned promptly after harvest, they can be more nutritious than fresh pro-duce sold in local stores.

First, start with the fresh-est of the harvest. These will make the best canning vegetables. Your county ex-tension agent can suggest varieties of fruits and veg-etables in your area that are best suited to canning.

Canning within six to 12 hours after harvesting vegetables is a good ruleof thumb.

For best quality apricots, nectarines, peaches, pears and plums, ripen one or

more days between harvest and canning.

If you must delay the canning of other fresh pro-duce, keep it in a shady,cool place.

How much should you can? Your county exten-sion agent can help you determine the amount you might need for the size of your family and yourpersonal tastes.

Canning takes some work and care, but in the dead of winter when you are enjoy-ing the “fruits” of your la-bor, it will all be worth it.

Contact the Meade Coun-ty Extension Offi ce for more information on the proper and safe ways to canyour harvest.

When Adam Long is in the zone, the only thing he is focused on is creating the perfect tattoo on what he considers a “walking canvas.”

Long is the owner of Un-leashed Ink, a tattoo parlor that launched in Branden-burg three months ago. The business is located in a cozy four-room offi ce right off the ByPass.

The company gives its patrons a feeling unlike most tattoo parlors.

“I try to keep the shop upscale with a modern design,” Long said. “I try to give everyone a warm welcoming environment. So it’s a good experience. If somebody is going to spend money to get a tat-too, I would rather them feel comfortable and want to be here.”

From the beginning, Long knew he wanted to draw tattoos for a living and be his own boss.

“I wasn’t going to start for somebody when I could start my own shop,” he said.

Unleashed Ink can ca-ter to almost any tattoo requests ranging from old school tattoos to modern style tattoos and from a small fl ower to full body tattoos.

“We do pretty much everything,” Long said. “Though I really don’t have anyone here doing portraits yet.”

Long added that Un-leashed Ink is testing out the waters with portrait tattoos and pretty soon will be able to show off their tal-ents in that area.

The amount of time it takes to draw and fully shade a tattoo depends on the size. The time spent can range from 20 minutes to two months. But in the end, Long promises his com-pany will not hurt the cus-

tomer during the process.“You do it as long as the

customer will sit there and take it or as long as their body will take it,” Long said. “Because your body will only take so much be-fore it starts to reject the ink.”

Right as someone walks in the door, they see rows upon rows of picture books that showcases tattoos the staff has created. After looking through the books, it’s obvious that with their 10-plus years of experience, Unleashed Ink can promise its customers that they are true artists and can create exactly what the customer is looking for.

As soon as someone re-quests a tattoo at Unleashed Ink, the team joins forces to

create exactly what the cus-tomer envisions.

“Someone comes in, picks what they want or if they have an idea they can bring it to us,” Long said. “We try to collaborate to get a better idea of what they want.”

Once they get an idea, Un-leashed Ink draws a stencil of the tattoo. The stencil is then put through a machine. The artist then puts the outline on the person. Once they are ready, the tattoo artist begins to trace, shade and then fi -nally, colors the tattoo.

There have been times where customers have come in and had no idea what tat-too they wanted.

“That’s when you collabo-rate with them and kind of pick their brains,” Long said. “You see what they want

to go with and then you sit there and sketch it out for them. That’s where you get custom tattoos.”

Unleashed Ink goes above and beyond to ensure their customers that they won’t misspell any tattoos.

“What you do is ask the customer to spell it,” Long said. “It’s true. If you’re go-ing to get something they want a name on, you spell how they spell it because there are 10 different ways to spell one name.”

Long has encountered some situations where he has had to fi x other tattoo artist’s mistakes — some are minor and some he has to start from scratch.

“Say somebody gets a tattoo, it’s messed up and someone can’t go in and fi x

it,” Long said. “Basically what you have to do is start over.”

According to Long, this process known as a “cover-up” begins with creating a design to incorporate where they can cover the old tat-too.

“So basically, you make the tattoo disappear with a different design,” Long said. “It’s all in technique and how you hide it. You kind of make it blend it with the oth-er tattoo, but you also have to make it go away.”

Long knows the stigmas that come along with getting a tattoo, so he always tries to work with his customers when they are trying to se-lect a tattoo.

“It’s a big decision,” he said. “You’ve got to sit there and think about it. I don’t care if somebody stands here for 30 minutes. I would rath-er then think about it and get what they want, instead of ‘Oh, just put that on me.’”

There have been situations where people have wanted tattoos that won’t necessari-

ly fi t on a portion of the body that they want.

“That’s when you have to explain to them what will make it look right,” Long said. “They come in and want some big, silly design or something like that and you know it’s not going to look right — well that’s your name and reputation. You’ve got to talk to them and ex-plain if we do it this way, we’ll make it look right.”

The best part of Long’s job comes when he sees the fi nalized product on some-one’s body.

“It’s a good feeling,” he said. “You’re putting art-work on somebody and they’re displaying it to ev-erybody.”

Unleashed Ink is open from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday-Friday, noon to 9 p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. For more information or to schedule an appointment visit its Facebook page, call them at 270-422-4658 or e-mail them at unleashedink@live.com.

If your perennials aren’t putting on their usual show this spring, it may be time to dig and divide.

Perennials need space, and once they become crowded, blooms can become smaller and infrequent. Dividing the plants to create more room usually restores their vigor.

Spring is a good time to di-vide many perennials. If you are unsure about the timing, here is a good rule of thumb.

If the plant blooms in the spring, divide it after it blooms or in the fall. If the plant blooms in the summer or fall, divide it in the spring.

Perennials grow from un-derground structures like fl eshy roots, rhizomes or bulbs. This is the part of the plant that needs to be divided. Dig up the plant, remove old leaves and shake off loose dirt to expose the underground parts.

Gently pull or cut the plant apart into several sections making sure each section has some recent growth at the top. Use one section to replace the original plant and set it in so that the crown is just at soil level.

You can use the remaining “new” plants created from your divisions to expand your landscaping or share with gar-dening friends and relatives.

A fun way to get the most from your extra perennials is to organize a plant exchange in your neighborhood, civic organization, workplace or school.

Encourage participants to label their contributions and provide information such as whether the plants prefer full sun or partial shade. Not only will you get new acquisitions for your home landscape, but you may even make a new gardening friend. For more information on horticultural topics, contact the Meade County Cooperative Exten-sion Service.

Nothing can ruin a mouth watering tomato more than reaching for one on the vine only to fi nd an ugly, fl attened spot on it. If the ugly spot is lo-cated on the fruit opposite the stem end, it is likely blossom end rot, a disease caused by a

lack of calcium that common-ly occurs in tomatoes but can also affect eggplant, peppers and many cucurbits.

Blossom end rot spots de-velop into dark brown, leath-ery decays that may affect half of the tomato.

Calcium is an essential part of the chemical “glue” that binds cells together within the fruit. When fruits are en-larging rapidly, suffi cient amounts of calcium do not reach the end of the fruit.

This causes cells to come apart, resulting in a rot or de-cay in that area. Calcium does not move easily from other plant parts, so any disruption in the plant’s uptake can re-sult in a defi ciency.

Soils in Kentucky are rarely defi cient in calcium, but wa-ter plays a critical role in the plant’s uptake and distribu-tion of calcium.

So maintaining an even supply of moisture is impor-tant in controlling blossom end rot.

However, to be sure that a soil is not calcium-defi cient, soil tests should be taken, and if needed, it can be applied as lime prior to planting.

Irrigate plants as needed, and use mulch to conserve soil moisture. Irrigate on a consistent basis.

Don’t allow plants to be-come stressed from too much or too little water. Avoid wet-ting foliage as much as pos-sible as this could encourage fungal and bacterial diseases to develop on the plant.

Trickle or drip irrigation is an excellent way of getting water to plants without the risk of wetting the foliage or splashing soil onto the foliage which can also lead to disease problems.

In addition, excessive amounts of ammonium tend to depress a plant’s calcium uptake.

Avoid using urea or fertil-izers high in ammonium. In-stead, choose fertilizers high in nitrate.

Calcium nitrate is an ex-cellent nitrogen fertilizer, al-though it is more expensive than other nitrogen sources.

For more information on how to keep diseases from dampening your garden-ing enthusiasm, contact the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service.

Lower crop yields plaguing Kentucky farmers this yearBy Casey Tolliver

The News Standard

Although this year’s unusually damp and tep-id weather have lead to an early harvest of some crops, the overall affect has been detrimental ac-cording to a press release from the United States De-partment of Agriculture last week.

This year’s lacking yield for crops such as corn, soybeans and tobacco could mean less cash in the pockets of local farm-ers, Meade County Exten-sion Office Agent Andy Mills said.

“What’s going to hap-pen is that farmers are going to make less mon-ey this year,” Mills said. “That’s why not every-one are farmers, there’s a risk. If we knew we would have ideal weather, there wouldn’t be as much risk. Weather dictates plant growth and plant growth dictates yield.”

Harvests of a week to 10 days earlier than usual can help maintain current quality.

However, overall early crop yields reported by

Kentucky farmers so far indicate the numbers are down 10 percent form last year.

Though the lower yields indicate a lower average comparatively over the past five years, they don’t reflect a dismal forecast for Kentucky farmers, rather a fluctuation of yearly variations.

“It’s not going to be as

bad as 2007,” Mills said.Last year was a good

year for crop yields, he added.

Weather conditions not only affect crops, but also indirectly affect local cat-tle producers.

Tepid temperatures and scarce rainfall have with-ered local pastures, ren-dering them less beneficial and in many cases dried

up, according to Mills.“Cow, horse and goat

farmers will be feeding hay earlier,” Mills said. “Cows are receiving lower quality nutrients during

this part of the year. Ideally, what farmers should do is supplementally feed their calves and cows. If they’re receiving a poor quality forage, which most of them probably are, then they should receive a supple-mental feeding.”

The lack of nutrition has a trickle down affect with possible detriment stem-ming from cows to their calves.

When spring calves begin to wean, weaning weights may be lower, which means farmers may receive less money when they sell their calves.

Also, fall calves could have less than desirable body conditions.

Mills said during 2008 the breeding season and preg-nancy dates were strung out.

He added that breeding seasons following a drought results in an extended con-sequent calving season.

Variations in calves’ ages

will be one of the longstand-ing affects of this year’s arid conditions.

“Drought usually hurts us for at least a year,” Mills said.

Local tobacco farmers will probably also feel the brunt of this year’s weather related crop affl ictions, he added.

“Tobacco farmers are go-ing to have a little less yield, probably,” Mills said.

High levels of moisture are necessary during the topping stage of the tobac-co growing process which plants are currently in — a commodity not afforded by current weather conditions.

Certain farmers may be eligible for economic re-covery for weather related damages, according to Mills.

“Crop insurance could kick in and probably will kick in for soybean crops,” he said. “Probably not so much for corn, but defi-nitely for soybeans.”

How to divide perennials

The Meade County Lady Waves volleyball team had their best start in two years as they opened their fi rst full week with a 6-3 record.

Two of the wins have come against district teams, Breckinridge and Hancock counties.

“It’s unusual to play both district teams this early in the season,” said Meade County head coach Jen-nifer Smith. “Breckinridge is going to give us a tough

time this year.”The Lady Waves had an

early-season wake up call during their second game of the season when they beat district rival Breckin-ridge County Lady Tigers in three sets 25-10, 24-26, 25-19 on Aug 12.

After rolling through the Lady Tigers 25-10 during the fi rst game, the Lady Ti-gers forced the third game after coming back and winning 26-24 in the sec-ond game.

“We fell apart,” junior set-ter Rebecca Clark said about the second game. “I don’t know what happened. We just messed up everything and we played like we did in seventh grade.”

During the fi rst game,

Meade County dominated the Lady Tigers by jumping to a 12-4 lead after sopho-more outside hitterLeah Can-nady served three straight points. The Lady Waves then went up 18-6 before fi nishing off the game by outscoring Breckinridge 7-3.

The Lady Tigers fought back in the second match and built an 8-2 lead before Smith called a timeout.

“They got cocky and they got lazy,” she said of her Meade County team. “I don’t think they were tired and they totally took the second game lightly.”

The Lady Waves had plenty of unforced errors during the game, including

A.J. Allmendinger hasn’t enjoyed many NASCAR weekends as successful as the one he just completed in Watkins Glen, N.Y.

The Los Gatos, Calif., na-tive was highly successful in the Champ Car World Series, but the Sprint Cup Series has been a struggle since he joined Team Red Bull in 2007 and Rich-ard Petty Motorsports in 2009. Allmendinger fi nished 24th in the 2009 Sprint Cup point stand-ings and currently resides in 22nd place.

Just days after Petty

and Foster Gillett of RPM announced that Allmendinger’s contract as driver of the No. 43 Ford has been extended, he celebrated by fi nish-ing fourth in the Heluva Good at the Glen. His career best, by the way, was a third in the 2009 Daytona 500.

Of any fall sports team this season, the heat has affected the Meade County cross country team the most. In a sport where running is the main — and pretty much the only — objective, practice can sometimes be daunting with heat indexes leaping into triple digits.

“It’s hard to tell what we

have right now,” said Meade County cross country head coach Larry Garner. “Be-cause of the heat, we’ve been running the halls of the high school more than anything. It’s hard to tell where we are as a team.”

Meade County has had only a handful of outside practices, while being rel-egated to indoor practices

Those who have worked out all summer long in the heat, the payoff is fi nally here for Meade Countians to show off their physical prowess.

Tomorrow, the Meade County Activities Center (MAC) will hold its fi rst ever “mini-triath-lon” which tests endurance skills in swimming, biking and run-ning. This fi rst ever event is to promote the Meade County Ac-tivities Center and overall health and wellness of Meade County.

As of Wednesday, there have been 81 competitors signed up. Including three-person teams, there will be close to 100 par-ticipants during the event held at the Doe Valley Swim and Tennis Club.

“This event only reaffi rms that this community wants a fi tness center,” said the triath-lon coordinator Meg King. “The community response has been great. Everyone has been really enthused and it shows the spirit of fi tness in the community.”

This is just another addition to the MAC events of the past year. Earlier in the year there was a MAC Gala where Ken-tucky pro golfer Kenny Perry spoke, and the week after the Kentucky Derby there was the Derbypalooza 5K run/walk.

“All the MAC events have been so successful,” King said. “This will just be another addition.”

Though the event is new, its roots go back nearly 10 years ago when a group of friends had a Jimbo DeVries Triathlon on the same Doe Valley area course. King suggested to John DeVries to reintroduce the tri-athlon as a MAC event.

“He was all for it,” King said. “It was a fun event then and I think it will be a fun event (to-morrow).”

The 11 directors of MAC were on board and now there are more than 25 volunteers help-ing the event tomorrow.

“So many people have helped,” King said. “Stephanie Parker has been a big help with registration. Of course, John DeVries has too. There have been so many people involved that have brought their talents to help this event.”

The triathlon is slated to start at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning at the Doe Valley Swim and Ten-nis Club. The event includes a

for most of their early season training. The team hopes that cooler September tem-peratures will make for a harder training regimen.

“We don’t start diffi cult workouts until Septem-ber,” Garner said. “We had a practice meet and we looked alright. It’s just hard to tell right now.”

Another daunting task Garner and his team will have to overcome is the loss of qual-ity runners in-cluding six of the 10 top girl runners and three of the top boys runners.

Meade County was one of two cross country programs in the state that fi n-ished both the boys and girls teams in the top ten. The other was perennial cross country monolith Da-viess County.

The boys fi n-ished seventh in the state and were led by Sean Breeds who fi n-ished 19th in the state individually.

“On the guys side we’re not going to have Sean Breeds,” Garner said. “We don’t have a top runner that could fi nish in the top ten (individuals).”

With no clear-cut stand-out on the team, teamwork will be paramount accord-ing to Garner.

“The focus of them is can they run as a team,” he said. “They are going to have to pack together and work as a team. Last year, the guys just went out and ran and fi nished seventh in the state. This year, we’re going to have to work hard.”

In other words, they will carry over the same ‘wolf pack’ mantra the team had last year.

“I’ve heard (wolf pack) once already,” Garner said about the team’s focus. “It may be more important this year than it was last year.”

Senior Tyler Blair has helped feed the wolf pack

mentality by preparing dur-ing the off-season.

“I feel amazing. This is the fi rst of six summers where I actually ran,” Blair said, who was a state quali-fi er for last spring’s state track 3,200-meter run. “I feel so much better. I prob-ably can run the same pace as last year.

“I have to be a leader this year for the younger guys.

I had to push myself and become bet-ter. So, I kept working dur-ing the sum-mer as an ex-ample.”

Blair will get help from his senior counterpart, Zach Bowen, who was the team’s second best runner last year. He fi nished 30th during the state meet last season.

“Zach has always run well over the summer,” Garner said. “He’s always been the lead guy for us in practice so far. If we can have him running well, we’ll be in really good position.”

While the top two posi-tions are set, junior Da-

kota Waldecker is the third strongest runner. Filling out the rest of the team could be a number of runners such as freshman Nathan Bates, freshman Tyler Breeds, ju-nior Jarrett Gonsalves, ju-nior Jordan King and fresh-man Thomas Machine.

Gonsalves and Machine ran track last spring and look to improve this season.

“Both of those guys came out for track and now are doing cross country,” Gar-ner said. “He (Gonsalves) looked really good this past week. I defi nitely see him fi ghting for a varsity spot.”

Last season’s No. 8 runner was Tyler Breeds — Sean Breeds’ younger brother — and will have to step up his game if the team wants another top 10 fi nish.

“Tyler Breeds was the eighth guy on the team and didn’t run in the region or state competition,” Garner

said. “We’re defi nitely look-ing at him to jump in and fi ll some of those spots.”

Despite the uncertainty Garner has on the boys team, Garner still feels there’s a lot of potential.

“I had a parent tell me last year that we were go-ing to be better this year,” he said. “I think that could be true if everything works out. We could be better — guys and girls.”

The girls team has taken the biggest hit from gradu-ation. The team lost Kim Dukes, Shelby Jenkins and Cynthia Smith. The girls also will not be returning the team’s top runner ju-nior April Level.

Senior veteran Tiffany Brown, who has ran cross country and track for fi ve years, is the team’s top run-ner and leader.

“I’m glad to fi nally be the leader and not be pushed around,” Brown said who fi nished 68th at the state meet last season. “This year is going to be a lot different without the seniors here. It seems like something’s missing.”

Helping Brown, will be freshman Kay-lea Neal.

“She’s been by far the best girl we’ve had,” Garner said. “But knowing Tiffany’s com-petitiveness I don’t see her allowing that. So, I’m hoping they will run together and push each other to get better.”

Neal and Brown are run-ning partners during prac-tice.

“She runs a lot differ-ent than me,” Brown said of Neal. “She ac-tually looks like a cross country runner. She’s all relaxed and I’m like ‘Oh, are you ever going to get tired?’ I’m more of the track runner, but she pushes me.”

Neal gained some much needed experi-ence last spring when she was a quick substitute for the 4x800-meter relay dur-ing the region track meet.

She anchored the team, which ended up placing fi rst in the region.

“That was a big con-fi dence boost to her last year,” Garner said. “She ran anchor and fi nished fi rst in the region. She’s a lot more confi dent now. She knows she’s the top girl.”

The only other runners who have some experience are juniors Marley Stanfi eld and Destiny Timmons.

“There’s a lot of question marks,” Garner said. “Last year, I knew what was go-ing to happen and what we had. This year I know we can be as good, but there’s so many uncertainties.”

With so many doubts for both the girls and boys teams, Garner has devel-oped a program that tends to reload rather than rebuild. This season is no different.

“The guys have the po-tential of being as good as they were last year,” he said. “But we’re having to rely on new people and freshmen. So it’s kind of a coin toss right now. We could fi nish top fi ve in the state or we could not even qualify at

all. That’s how tough our re-gion is.”

St. Xavier and Butler are two of the top teams in the state, while Meade County will battle it out for third place against Male and Manual.

On the girls side, Meade County is look-ing for yet an-other region runner-up fi n-ish.

“We’re look-ing for top two in the region,” Garner said of the girls team. “That top 10 spot is where I want this pro-gram to stay. Our expecta-tions are still high.”

The Meade County cross country teams don’t start the bulk of their season until the fi rst week of September when they trav-

el to Shelby County for the Shelby County Invitational. Check future issues of The News Standard for results of this season’s meets.

a 350-meter swim, an 8-mile bike ride and a 2.2 mile run.

The distances may seem short compared to other sprint triathlons, but this course is not for the faint of heart. With the Marina Hill in the wake of the fi nal few miles of the bike ride and

the fi rst mile of the run, this course is challenging.

“Some people say ‘Oh, I can do a 2 mile run,’” King said. “But it’s not that easy. A lot of the course is up hill.”

The swim leg opens the race at the Doe Val-ley swimming pool. Con-testants will swim seven laps (one lap equals down the back the length of the 25-meter pool) in the pool to make up a 350-meter swim. Each swimmer is

placed with a swimmer similar to their same pace.

“The swim part may take a while,” King said. “There are only two swimmers per lane. So it may take close to an hour and a half.”

The bike portion of the race will take participants down Doe Valley Road onto State Highway 933, and then a quick left turn onto Long Branch Road for a straight ride midway through the course.

While on Long Branch road, event coordinators warn cyclists to watch for the bumpy train track crossing. Riders are to take the crossing slowly over the rails to prevent dam-age to the bike or rider.

The final three miles in-clude a grueling climb up Marina Hill and then final-ly coming to a coast to the start/finish line in front of the Doe Valley club.

“The hill right past the

marina is tough,” King said. “You just have to keep your mind set and go at a steady pace.”

The final leg consists of the 2.2 run — with the first bit up hill. The loop takes runners on Bethel Church Road and back into the Doe Valley Swim and Ten-nis club area.

There are around 25 volunteers, including 18 volunteers throughout the course. At the end of

the race there will be food and drinks, along with an award ceremony.

“We are going to give certificates for fun little things like ‘Who had the most bike trouble,’” King said. “It will be a fun time.”

Registration for the event begins at 6:30 a.m. and will go through 8 a.m. Individuals can sign up for $25 while teams can sign up for $35 dollars.

several net touches, which gave the Lady Tigers the lead, 24-23, late in the game.

Breckinridge County closed out the second game with two straight points to win, 26-24.

“I’m trying to block that game out,” Smith said. “They (the referees) were really watching the net. That’s something that I don’t know how to fix oth-er than just work on not touching the net.”

The Lady Waves bounced back in the third set and held Breckinridge County to only one lead the entire game. Meade County had a 6-3 run to win the game and sophomore defensive specialist Mikhaela Perry ended the game with an ace. She finished with six digs, two aces and two kills.

“I know she’s a sopho-more, but I’m so confident in her,” Smith said. “Her serving was awesome and she really made the differ-ence of the game.”

Meade County is now 14-0 against Breckinridge County since entering the same district in 2004.

“Us beating Breckin-ridge County since forever is not a good thing,” Smith said “Now we have it in our heads that we can’t lose to them. It’s very pos-sible we can lose to them since we have to play them two more times.”

Meade County will play

Breckinridge at home Sept. 9 starting at 7:30 p.m.

Meade makes the gold bracket at Apollo

The Lady Waves com-peted in the Summer Slam at Owensboro Apollo last weekend and went 2-3 and made the gold bracket elimination round.

They lost their opening game to Warren East in three sets (15-25, 25-18, 25-16) and then rattled off two straight wins against Han-cock County (25-14, 25-19) and Henderson County (15-25, 25-15, 26-24).

“We still made a lot of the same mistakes the first three games,” Meade County head coach Jen-nifer Smith said. “Then against Caldwell, every-thing just clicked. They lost, but they probably played the best game all season.”

Against No. 20 ranked Caldwell County, the Lady Waves lost 25-20, 25-19.

“They’re a really good team,” Smith said of Caldwell. “They have nine seniors on the team. They’re really experienced and have great coaching. We really came together though. They served well, they covered each other, and they did everything perfect.”

During the opening round of the single elimi-nation gold bracket, Meade County lost to Tates Creek 25-23, 25-20.

“They carried it over to the Tates Creek game, but Tates was just too much for us,” Smith said. “We did awesome though. I’m really happy with the way we played.”

Senior middle hitter Tif-fany Filburn had a mon-ster weekend with a total of 42 kills, 13 digs, nine aces and eight blocks. Ju-nior setter Rebecca Clark had 65 assists, seven aces and three kills, and junior outside hitter Rachel Pow-

ers added 20 kills, three bocks, three digs and two aces.

Sophomore outside hit-ter Selena Burton had 19 digs, three aces and two kills during the weekend.

Meade beats Indiana rivalMeade County won 3 of

4 games against Indiana visitor Corydon Central, 25-19-25-18, 23-25, 25-18 on Monday’s home opener.

Senior middle hitter Tif-fany Filburn led the Lady Waves with 20 kills, 16 digs, five aces and two blocks.

Junior setter Rebecca Clark added 41 assists, 26

digs and six kills, while ju-nior middle hitter LeAnna Luney recorded eight kills, two bocks and two assists. Sophomore outside hitter Leah Cannady had seven kills, five digs and an assist.

Rosemont, Ill. — As Amer-ica’s young people gear up for organized football, soc-cer and baseball practices

this August, record high temperature forecasts have prompted medical experts to call for drinking water: more, early and often.

“To stay active and healthy, young athletes need plenty of the right kinds of fluids,” said Marjorie J. Al-bohm, MS, ATC, a member of the STOP Sports Injuries campaign and president of the National Athletic Train-er’s Association. “Staying hydrated is extremely im-portant because water is

what delivers oxygen to the muscles, providing fuel for grueling summer work-outs.”

The STOP Sports Injuries campaign launched this spring by the American Or-thopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and a coalition of other health-re-lated organizations—aims to arm the public with in-formation and tools to pre-vent, recognize and treat the long-term consequences of sports overuse and trauma

injuries to children.“Whenever young peo-

ple are outside playing or practicing in the heat, they need lots of fluids to re-place what their bodies are losing through sweating,” said leading heat illness re-searcher and professor of kinesiology at the Univer-sity of Connecticut, Doug Casa, PhD, ATC, FNATA, FACSM. “If the body isn’t replenished, dehydration can occur and increase the risk of a serious heat illness

like heat stroke.”Casa, Albohm and other

sports experts warn coach-es, trainers, parents and athletes to diligently moni-tor their conditions, being especially mindful of the symptoms of heat illness:

• Chills• Dark-colored urine• Dizziness• Dry mouth • Headaches • Muscle cramps • Thirst • Weakness.

Those young people just beginning summer practices for organized sports—like football, baseball and soc-cer—are particularly vul-nerable to suffering some form of heat illness.

Casa recommends that young people drink at least eight ounces of fluids—such as water, juice, or sports drinks like Gatorade—before beginning outdoor activities, and up to five ounces more every 20 min-utes during the activity.

compete for a win every weekend and hopefully, eventually, get a champion-ship. That is the goal.”

A championship is cer-tainly a long way off, but Allmendinger doesn’t shy away from the task at hand. He said he talked to other teams, but decided to re-main at RPM, in part, be-cause of Kasey Kahne’s de-parture at season’s end.

Allmendinger wants to be “the guy.”

“Yeah, that was a big sell-ing point,” he said. “I am ready to be a leader of this race team. It’s something that I thrive on and excites me every day to know that I can be the guy. I have the confidence in myself to know I can lead this team and represent it to the best

of its abilities.”After finishing fourth at

Watkins Glen, Allmendinger said, “The car was really strong all day. We didn’t have anything for the ‘42’ (Juan Montoya). He was on anoth-er planet. But for the others (runner-up Kurt Busch and third-place Marcos Ambro-se), I felt like maybe we had something for them.

“It was a solid day. It was a good day in the pits. We need to build on this. It’s really cool to sign a multi-year deal and have a great weekend.”

Trivia Test

Paws CornerCat’s Aim Is Off the Mark

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We adopted a 2-year-old spayed fe-male cat. “Trudy” has a problem when she pees in her litter box. She tends to spray over the top of the box. Someone sug-gested a covered cat box, so I found two at garage sales. She still pees to the back, and the pee drips down the back of the box where it clips on. Why is she doing this? I use litter she likes. Is this just a habit, or should I take her to the vet and get checked out? We really don’t want to take her back just because of this. She is so sweet. Is there anything else we can do? — Linda D., via e-mail

DEAR LINDA: It’s always worth a trip to the veterinarian just to rule out any health problems. If Trudy checks out OK, there may not be much else to do after that.

I’ve seen cats before that sprayed over the top of their litter boxes. In one case it was a dominant male in a three-cat house-hold that clearly wanted everyone to know this was his box. He refused to use a covered box and would pee outside of the one that was installed, so his owner put the old box back and built a splash guard — cardboard wrapped with foil — that drained back into the litter box. That cat loved spraying on the splash guard all the more because of the sound of water hitting the tinfoil.

Trudy does not appear to have this problem. She’s not re-fusing her litter box, which is very good. Don’t take her back because of this minor issue. If the veterinarian doesn’t find anything wrong, continue to rinse the litter box top after every cleaning, and perhaps rig a splash-guard system that prevents the urine from collecting in the rim.

By Fifi Rodriguez

By Fifi Rodriguez

ALL MY CHILDREN: Zach and Kendall were introduced to the notori-ous Caleb. After Randi left for another modeling job, Frankie opened up to Madison about Angie’s health problems. Marissa’s guilty conscience prevent-ed her from getting back together with JR. David secretly witnessed one of Angie’s episodes at work. Wait to See: Scott makes a confession.

AS THE WORLD TURNS: Blackthorn ex-posed Carly’s wire when she tried to get him to con-fess. Chris and Katie’s rela-tionship took a new direction after the two made love. Lily cut all ties with Lucinda after finding out that she was responsible for the collapse of the perfume company. Chris begged Reid to increase his medication. Wait to See: Henry proposes to Barbara.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy found out who was really responsible for tampering with the video. Stephanie encour-aged Oliver not to give up on Hope. Liam saved Hope from the pa-parazzi and later told her that he was responsible for the tape, not Steffy. Katie was disappointed in Bill after he kept another secret from her. Hope and Liam shared a kiss as they bonded over their predicaments. Amber was nosy about Bridget and Owen’s relation-ship. Wait to See: Steffy asks Marcus to help her get rid of Brooke.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Nicole made sure that Sami saw her mak-ing out with Rafe. Kate wrestled with the decision of whether or not to tell Chad that Stefano was his father. Rafe offered Nicole im-munity if she helped him prosecute EJ. Stephanie and Ian hacked into the computer system at St. Mary’s to tamper with Chloe’s pa-ternity test results. Wait to See: Sami finally realizes the depth of EJ’s deception.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Patrick confronted Lisa about her stalk-ing behavior. Lulu found Brook Lynn putting the moves on a heav-ily sedated Dante. Robin discovered that all of her HIV medication had been stolen. Sonny and Brenda were unable to reach each other by phone. Lisa took Emma out for ice cream without telling any-one. Wait to See: Patrick tells Robin that he cheated on her.

ONE LIFE TO LIVE: David and Dorian admitted their love for each other and planned a quickie wedding. Jessica was upset to learn that she did, in fact, sleep with Ford before she got her mem-ory back. Dorian approved of Langston’s date with James until she found out that he was Ford’s brother. Eli approached Blair be-fore the wedding to tell her there was a change in plans. Viki and Dorian made peace. Wait to See: Ross learns that Tea’s days are numbered.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick asked Sharon and Faith to move in with him. Lauren was shocked to learn that her mother knew about Jill all along. Paul was able to locate the adop-tive parents of Nina’s biological son. Adam filed a lawsuit against everyone who held him at the cabin except for Sharon. Ronan came clean with Chloe about his true identity. Wait to See: Cane’s immi-gration hearing gets moved up.

Q: One of my favorite real-ity shows is “The Real House-wives” series on Bravo. I espe-cially love Bethenny Frankel on the New York series, and I wondered if that show and/or Bethenny would be back? — Michele M., Bel Air, Md.

A: I spoke with Bethenny recently, and she told me she has no plans to return to the “Real Housewives.” In her words: “I very highly doubt I will go back to ‘House-wives.’ I don’t see any reason or upside for that.” Besides, Bethenny is pretty busy these

days as a new mom, a newly-wed and promoting her “Body by Bethenny” workout DVD.

And if you are wondering how she shed all that baby weight, it’s simple: “[The weight] came off afterward, because I wasn’t extreme about dieting nor had I binged while pregnant. Just be balanced be-fore, during and after, and treat your diet like a bank account, and you will have no issue.”

Q: I really love the addition of Lindsay Pulsipher on “True Blood,” but this makes me doubt the potential re-emergence of “FlashFor-ward,” since Lindsay played teenaged Charlie in one of the final scenes’ flash-forwards. Should I give up on the dream of “FlashFor-ward” being picked up by another network? — Fred J., via e-mail

A: I am sad to report that I think yes, the dream might be over. Many fans, including myself, were drawn into the exciting series and had hoped that maybe TNT or AMC would save it from extinction. When I asked Lindsay about the possibility, she wasn’t super hopeful of a “FlashForward” resurrection.

“There hasn’t been any talk of that, that I know of, unfortunately,” Lindsay tells me. “I know a lot of people really loved that show, and I think it had amazing potential to be really great next season. Unfor-tunately, I have not heard anything, but you never know -- if another cable network wants to pick it up, that would be amazing!”

Q: What happened to the NBC drama series “Trauma”? One week it was on, the next it was gone. Will it be back? — Judy, Waverly, Ohio

A: “Trauma,” a medical drama that centers on a group of paramed-ics in San Francisco, was officially canceled by the network this past May due to low ratings.

READERS: A few months back, a reader wrote in to ask who co-starred with Mariette Hartley in the series of cute, bickering hus-band-and-wife commercials. I created a contest asking you readers to help, and from those who answered correctly, five would win an autographed copy of Mariette Hartley’s autobiography, “Breaking the Silence.” After sifting through hundreds of submissions, I have ran-domly drawn five winners: Diane L. of Whitesboro, N.Y.; Trish C. of Waldorf, Md.; Barbara C. of Palm Springs, Calif.; Edward A. of Wood-bury, Conn.; and Gordon D. (via e-mail). They, along with many of you who wrote in, knew the answer was James Garner. Thank you all for entering!

From the office of:Evelyn ‘Debbi’ Medley

Meade County Circuit Court ClerkThis office has received a letter from the KENTUCKY STATE POLICE Driver Testing Department that they are presenting a regulation to the State Personnel Board, outlining a plan to furlough state driver testing employees a total of six days for Fiscal Year 2011.

The six days include three common days during which state driver testing will be closed that are adjacent to existing state holiday weekends for Meade County:

• Friday, September 2, 2010 (Labor Day Weekend)• Friday, November 12, 2010 (Veteran’s Day Weekend)• Friday, May 27, 2011 (Memorial Day Weekend)

In addition, the driver testing employees will be furloughed for one day each in the months of October 2010, March 2011, and June 2011.

What this means for the Meade County Office is that our driver testing on Friday’s will be affected. There will be certain Friday’s that we will not have a driver examiner available. We realize this will be an inconvenience, and apologize to the citizens of Meade County.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact my office at 422-4961. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience to this situation.

CorrectionIn last week’s issue of The News Standard, we ran a story about Aug. 7’s Keith

Kesterson Memorial shoot. We failed to recognize the memorial shoot also commemo-rated Cale Brown who passed away nearly 13 years ago. The shoot took place at the Cale Brown Archery Range in Yellowbank Wildlife Management Area.

Also in one of the story’s photos we misidentified Tony Brown as Anthony Brown. We apologize for errors and any confusion.

Normally, bows and ar-rows are equated to hunting. But Meade County residents will have the opportunity this weekend to showcase their bow skills in a different out-door recreation — fishing.

The 10th Annual J.W.R. Memorial Bowfishing Tour-nament, being held tomor-row will give local bowfish-ers the chance to compete, but not lose sight of the thrill of the sport.

“It’s a fun shoot, we’re not taking it too serious,” tournament organizer Lee Wardrip said.

Despite how complex bowfishing seems, Wardrip insists that it’s easier than it looks.

“A lot of people think it’s hard. When you bow hunt, you use sights. When you bowfish, you don’t. You just draw back and instinctively shoot. The thing is to aim low. If you miss, you’re going to shoot over it,” he said.

Some bowhunters go all out — splurging on the lat-est hunting related gadgets and gizmos and pouring vast amounts of money to support their outdoor endeavors.

However, Wardrip said, expensive and up-to-date equipment isn’t neces-sary for those interested in bowfishing.

“You can go to a pawn shop and get the cheapest bow you can buy or you can go out and get an expensive one. Your bow is going to get wet, get stepped on. Your equipment is going to get ru-

ined,” he explained.Wardrip’s father-in-law be-

gan the tournament a decade ago as a tribute to his father.

After his father-in-law passed the torch to Wardrip and his brother-in-law, Eric Richeson, a change of loca-tion was decided.

Participants in the tourna-ment had to put in at a boat ramp in Cloverport, Ky. That changes this year as contes-tants have the option of put-ting in at several different locations throughout Meade County.

Launching sites are located at West Point, Brandenburg, Wolf Creek, Concordia and Yellowbank.

Bowfishers will be tak-ing aim at types of “rough fish”, including buffalo fish, gar and different types of carp — including types of carp including silver carp, bighead carp and the invasive Asian carp.

Participants are permitted to submit their 10 biggest fish, but of the tally, only four Asian carp are allowed.

Registration for the tourna-ment, which is being hosted

by Meade County Archers, begins at 6 p.m. at the Meade County Sportsman Club lo-cated at the Meade County Fairgrounds.

The cost is $40 per two or three person team.

Teams can also sign up for the big fish competition for $20 per team with 100 per-cent payback and big gar for $10 per team with 100 per-cent payback.

Door prizes will also be offered.

Not only is the tourna-ment a memorial, it will also serve as a source of bragging rights.

“Some people, will say they shot so many over the weekend. This way we can see who’s telling the truth and who’s not,” Wardrip said with a laugh.

Strict bowfishers looking for hard-nosed competition may be disappointed.

“This tournament is a me-morial, it’s supposed to be fun,” Wardrip said. “If you want to be like that, this is probably not the tournament you need to be at. We’re just here to have fun.”

Local comedians bring the laughs to soccer fundraiser

This is part 2 of a three-part se-ries in which I take a look at three classic children’s movies that I, regrettably, have never seen until now.

“The Karate Kid” has just become my favorite movie of the year.

No, I’m not talking about the Jackie Chan/Jaden Smith remake that came out ear-

lier this year (although I have heard good things about it).

I’m talking about the original 1984 fi lm directed by John G. Avildsen, best known for directing the similarly-themed “Rocky.”

“The Karate Kid” is an underdog story about teen-ager Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) who is forced to learn karate as a means of self-defense against a group of street punks with a grudge, ultimately facing off against them in a major karate tournament.

Don’t let the simple-sound-ing premise fool you — this fi lm is all about characters

and characterization. Ralph Macchio is believable

as a street-smart Jersey boy with a heart, and is a likeable protagonist who will have you cheering him on.

But the real star of the show is the incredible Mr. Miyagi (played by the late Noriyuki “Pat” Morita), whose indomitable de-meanor and reserved sto-icism make him one of the most captivating char-acters I’ve seen in a long time.

He’s the kind of char-acter who says a lot with only a few words, and his methods of training are

unorthodox, effective, and memorable.

In short, he always steals the show whenever he’s onscreen.

But most captivating of all is the interaction that these two share with each other over the course of the movie.

It starts off as the stan-dard teacher-student rela-tionship, but as time goes by it becomes increasingly evident that Mr. Miyagi is becoming a father-figure for Daniel, which is some-thing that I personally find very touching.

The film also benefits

from an excellent script that carries it effortlessly from one moment to the next while offering believ-able, cheese-free dialogue that’s both meaningful and memorable — something that’s virtually unheard of for a film of its type.

Despite the film’s per-ceived target audience, nothing is ever dumbed-down or over-the-top in its execution; everything is presented in such a be-lievably realistic manner, which is easily one of the film’s strongest points.

On that note, there is one small disclaimer: as

it turns out, this isn’t quite the “children’s movie” I thought it was, and so perhaps “coming-of-age” might be a betterdescriptor.

It’s rated PG, but con-tains a few potty words and several fight scenes that might frighten young-er viewers.

But for everyone else, this is inspirational family entertainment at its very best, and it will leave you wishing that we all had a Mr. Miyagi there to show us the way.

Final grade: **** (out of four)

It was a night of laughs at Meade County High School last Friday as three local comedians stopped by to put a smile on people’s faces and raise money for the MCHS soccer teams.

The comedians, Donna Watts, Big John Rich-ardson and Bob Batch were a part of a two-hour Comedy Caravan show that made a stop in Meade County.

Watts was the fi rst performer of the night. Even with her small frame, she brought big giggles by joking about dating a guy with a camoufl age truck and not realizing it was quail season.

With his dreadlocks and use of satire, Richard-son didn’t leave anything out. He spoke about how he overcame adversities in life with his sense of wittiness.

Batch brought his quirky humor that has showcased on the Today Show, Good Morning America and the Showtime Comedy Club.

He joked about some common Kentucky phrases by holding up signs that said “mom-onyms,” “gretbigo,” and “addleduit.” He even gave the male audience members some advice: “there are fi ve rules to getting married. Num-ber one, she makes the rules. Number fi ve, she changes the rules. That is all you need to know.”

Achievements

The Ambrose Meador Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), were guests of Mary Ann Tobin on August 4, 2010. Tobin, curator of a bird sanctuary, was the recipient of the AMR State Award 2009-2010. Jane Marlow Willis was the regent of this project before her untimely death.

Tobin hatched a Kestrel egg that she name “Jane Marlow.” The bird is a small European falcon noted for its habit of hov-ering in the air against the wind.

When it was time to release the bird into the air DAR members and others were there to witness it’s maiden flight. Tobin told watchers that she gives her released birds the option of flying away or to stay.

DAR visited Tobin’s home and enjoyed seeing other birds such as a baby owl, “Woody Woodpecker”, the pelican that hugs Tobin with its large bill, and many other birds.

Several young ladies served refresh-ments and a huge cake that was decorated with two birds, one being the Kestrel bird, “Jane Marlow.” It was also an honor to have Jane’s aunt, Debbie Chamblis, from Hardinsburg, Ky., there.

Thanks to our gracious hostess for hav-ing this wonderful event in memory of Jane Marlow Willis.

The Meade County High School FBLA chapter sent nine officers to Leadership Development Camp in Hardinsburg, Ky., June 9 - 11. Of the nine officers, four of them were presented with the Outstanding Officer Award from their classes at camp.

These awards were presented as fol-lows: Outstanding President to Ryan Barr, Outstanding Vice President to Jesse Ad-ams, Outstanding Secretary to Courtney McGraw, and Outstanding Treasurer to

Savannah Allen.In order to receive these honorable

awards, officers must be very committed in their duties. It took extra work, deter-mination and attention to detail to earn the recognitions and required the officers to complete homework over three days of camp and memorize and recite the mate-rial needed.

Officers were awarded medals and were recognized at the closing session of camp on June 11. They will be further recognized at the first chapter meeting as school be-gins this year.
