District debates buying, selling fi re equipment

By Crystal [email protected]

Detailed discussion of the Meade County Fire Protection District’s (MCFPD) 2009-2010 fi scal year (FY) budget included the purchase of two new vehicles and a closed trailer, and selling of three apparatuses.

During the regular monthly meeting of the MCFPD Board of Trustees held at headquar-ters Monday night, fi re chief Larry Naser ex-pressed the need for trucks that have the ca-pacity to hold at least four fi refi ghters, which he said would help eliminate the total number of fi rst response vehicles on emergency runs.

Motorcycles blessed at annual ‘Run for the Son’ benefit rideBy Crystal Benham

[email protected]

The Christian Motorcyclists Associa-tion (CMA) hosted more than 100 bik-er enthusiasts Sunday at Glad Tidings Christian Center in Brandenburg for its annual “Run for the Son” 30-mile bike ride and “Biker’s Blessing.”

Eighty-four bikers registered and paid a $10 fee to participate in door prizes and awards and to have their motorcycles blessed. One hundred

percent of the event’s proceeds will benefi t three United States ministries — Jesus Film Project, Missionary Ven-tures, and Open Doors. The proceeds are split 60/40, with 60 percent going to ministers overseas and 40 percent to ministers in the states.

Last year, the more than 1,000 CMA chapters collected $806,841.65 for each ministry organization through Run for the Son.

Sunday’s crowd consisted of various Christian biker groups — including

Bikers for Christ, Sons of God, and Dis-ciples of Christ — and non-Christian groups, like the local Grimm Reapers, that joined forces with various Ken-tucky CMA chapters from Louisville, Elizabethtown and Bowling Green.

Cy “Catman” Moorman, a member of the Prayer Ministry Team and the vice president of the Elizabethtown CMA chapter, helped spread blessings to multiple bikes.

DOE VALLEY — A four-month undercover narcot-ics investigation by the Meade County Sheriff’s De-partment resulted in the ar-rest of a local physician on Tuesday.

According to Sheriff Wil-liam “Butch” Kerrick, the

U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force contacted him at about 11:15 a.m. Tues-day. The Task Force had in-formation that 24-year-old Mathew L. Bishop was at a residence in Doe Valley. Bishop, who was facing multiple charges for drugs and theft, was thought to be at the home of 65-year-old Dr. Raymond L. Mathis.

Mathis told offi cers from the Meade County Sher-iff’s Department and the Marshal’s Task Force that Bishop was not at his home. The offi cers obtained con-sent to search the home and found Bishop hiding above the ceiling of the residence.

Kerrick said that Mathis has been under investiga-tion by sheriff’s department

narcotics offi cers for the past four months. During the search, offi cers dis-covered narcotics in an unmarked medi-cine bottle.

Bishop was lodged in the Meade County jail by the U.S. Marshal’s Of-fi ce, facing numerous theft

and drug charges.Dr. Raymond L.

Mathis was charged with possession of a controlled substance, 1st; prescription con-trolled substance not in original container, 1st; and hindering prosecution/appre-

hension, 2nd. Mathis was lodged in the

Meade County jail, and has subsequently been released on bond.

Kerrick said the investi-gation is ongoing and that additional charges may be pending.

Mathis retired a few years ago from his physi-cian’s practice formerly located on the ByPass in Brandenburg.

135th Kentucky Derby line-upDerby hat festival

rings in the race

THE NEWS STANDARD/LAURA SAYLOR

Derby Hat Contest organizer Liz Bell and Meade County Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft model some of the hand-crafted derby hats on display on the courthouse Thursday morning.

By Laura [email protected]

Feathers, fl owers, ribbons and bows fl ourished the brims of nearly a dozen hand-craft-ed derby hats — all setting the tone for Kentucky’s most distinguished of traditions.

Liz Bell orchestrated the Meade County Courthouse’s fi rst annual Derby Hat Con-test, held Thursday morning. Individuals submitted their festive top pieces which were

arranged on display then judged in three different cat-egories.

Pat Carlson’s hat won the “Most Elegant” award, the Meade County Veterinary Hospital’s hat earned the “Most Whimsical” title, and Liz Bell’s hat was declared “Most Creative.”

The local Kentucky Derby celebration is one of many occurring across the Com-monwealth, and across the nation, as 20 distinct, world-class thoroughbreds prepare to burst from the gates at the

sound of a trumpet for the 135th time.

The race is dubbed “The Most Exciting Two Min-

utes in Sports” and the “Run for the Roses”

and has drawn hun-dreds of thousands to Churchill Downs

since 1875.The Kentucky Der-

by is also the fi rst leg of the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, followed by the Preakness Stakes on May 16 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore and the Belmont Stakes on June 6 at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

The speed record for the Kentucky Derby was set in 1973 by Secretariat who ran 1:59 2/5. According Kentucky Derby Association records, the longest shot to ever wear the roses was Donerail who won in 1913 despite 91/1 odds.

Early estimations name I Want Revenge the 3-1 favorite, and Dunkirk and Pioneerof the Nile as co-second choices.

The fi rst post time is slated for 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, with the race of all races to post at 6:04 p.m. The Ken-tucky Derby will be broadcast on NBC, beginning at 4 p.m.

Bruington, district staff member Nathan Lind, and district treasurer Jim Scott took part in Monday’s tree planting. BELOW: Nathan Beavin and Nathan Lind dig a hole for the tree in front of the county’s new fi re station.

In honor of Arbor Day, the Meade County Conservation Dis-trict carried on its long-standing tradition of celebrating the na-tional holiday by planting a tree at a local establishment.

On Monday, staff and board members of the Meade County Conservation District bestowed a Cleveland Flowering Pear tree to the recently constructed fi re sta-tion located on Armory Place in Brandenburg.

Fire chief Larry Naser thanked the conservation district for the gift, which he said will help brighten the station’s landscape.

According to Meade County Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick, the body of a black male, recovered from the Ohio River on April 22 is the victim of an apparent suicide.

Sheriff Kerrick said the body was recovered by the Meade County Sheriff’s De-partment and the water res-cue unit of the Meade Coun-ty Fire District at 1:01 p.m.

last Wednesday, about fi ve miles west of the boat ramp in Brandenburg.

Meade County Deputy Coroner James Chism said following the recovery, the body was taken to the state medical examiner’s offi ce in Louisville, where an autopsy was completed last Thurs-day morning.

The body has been iden-tifi ed as 59-year-old Charles Lewis Finn of Louisville.

Results of the autopsy in-dicate that the cause of death

was drowning. The state medical exam-

iner made the identifi cation based on dental records pro-vided by the Veteran’s Ad-ministration. All indications are that the body had been in the water for several days.

Finn had been reported missing in Jefferson County on March 15, 2009. His car was towed and impounded from the Greenwood boat ramp the same day.

No foul play is suspected in the death.

No foul play detected in death of victim pulled from river

Chairman Martin Bosem-er recommended the board approve selling trucks No. 45 and No. 46 and engine No. 41 in order to help pay for both vehicles and the trailer.

Bosemer said the pur-chase would essentially “re-duce the fl eet by one” rescue vehicle.

“I’m looking at a three-quarter ton, four-door, four-wheel drive — something that we could comfortably put a hundred gallons of water in,” Naser said. “And then be able to come up with some kind of a box confi gu-ration … so we can put our medical supplies on one side and some fi refi ghting stuff and still be able to carry, eas-ily, four or fi ve people either on medical runs or brush fi res.”

The estimated total to purchase a Ford F150 and a Ford Expedition — the vehi-cles Naser suggested — to-taled nearly $47,000 plus an extra $10,000 for fi re district decals.

An estimate on the poten-tial profi t the district would gain by selling the three ap-paratuses was $32,000, leav-ing the district responsible for $25,000 of the cost.

Trustee Mike Curl an-ticipated that the trailer — which would be about 14-feet long — if purchased brand new, would cost the district around $4,000.

Bosemer asked the trust-ees to approve budgeting for buying and selling the apparatuses. He also said the district could expect an extra $25,000 to $30,000 from Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency (FEMA) grants and other sources.

“I hate to approach it that way, though,” said trustee T. Parker.

Parker said budgeting for the $32,000 the district an-ticipates making off selling equipment is taking a risk.

Trustee Bruno Ilario pro-posed selling the three appa-ratuses before looking at the potential new purchases.

“We’re going to know what the new trucks will cost, but what we won’t know is what these three trucks will sell for,” Ilario said. “We may think we’re going to get $30,000 and we may only get $20,000.”

Ilario felt that it would be more feasible to put the apparatuses up for sale, and then take an additional month to fi nd the new trucks and trailer.

Parker suggested budget-ing $32,000 with the expecta-tion that Naser will come to the board after July 1 with a plan of what he will sell and how much profi t the district will earn, and then what equipment he will spend the total amount on.

The board unanimously approved to change the ap-paratus fund from its cur-rent status of “reserved” to “expendable” for the 2009-10 FY.

In other MCFPD news:•Bosemer presented a

plaque to Naser for his ser-vices to the community.

“This is a plaque for you from the MCFPD in appreci-ation of your leadership and guidance as district chief and for your guidance with the new building,” Bosemer said.

•The board approved fund percentages for the ‘09-10 FY. The percentages will

remain the standard 40 per-cent for the apparatus fund, 10 percent for the equipment fund and 50 percent for the building fund. The percent-ages are broken down based on a $50,000 budget.

The fi nalized budget will be available for the board to approve at its May meeting.

•Naser reported the dis-trict had 44 runs last month with an average of 13 fi re-fi ghters on seven brush fi res and an average response time of seven minutes and 35 seconds and 23 EMS as-sists with an average of six fi refi ghters and an average of nine minutes and 45 sec-onds.

•Arch Chemicals, Inc. has requested the district to pay $6,094.83 due to an oversight error made on their taxes.

“Apparently, due to their mistake, they overpaid lots of taxes,” Naser said. “I have talked with ... the sheriff’s offi ce and (they) indicated that while we do owe them a refund, there is no statute

saying we have to refund their money now.”

Naser recommended the district pay Arch in Decem-ber 2009 when MCFPD re-ceives its fi rst tax check from Arch.

“Also, Arch has not paid one tax bill from 2007,” Nas-er said. “We are due over $10,000 from Arch. There is a 21 percent penalty that has been assessed due to non-payment.”

The penalty for the error is $1,018.83.

The board felt it should waive the fee considering Arch contributes a hefty donation each year to the Crusade for Children fund-raiser.

“Usually we get $1,000 (from Arch) for Crusade for Children, and last year we got $2,000 for equipment,” Naser said.

The board unanimously approved waiving the fee.

•Naser plans to apply for two FEMA grants to help update equipment and gear.

Yesterday, I took Bosey for a jog at Buttermilk Falls. It was a cookie cutter spring day, cliched with blossoming dog-woods, talkative chipmunks and lark-spur petals fl itting across the trail in a light, low breeze.

Meade County is beautiful this time of year, and spring in all its revitalizing glory seemed to crescendo under the shady can-opy at Buttermilk Falls that late afternoon. Bosey and I nodded hello to fellow jog-gers, she took a dip in the stream that skirts along the trail and we both let the eve-ning unfold with smiles on our panting faces.

Until we rounded a bend.Near the two-mile mark-

er, right as Arch Chemicals becomes visible beyond the corn fi elds, a woman — who looked fairly respect-able and decent enough — was squatted down in the middle of the trail, pants at her ankles, relieving herself.

Several things happened next:

1. Bosey and I stopped jogging and stood still. I looked, then didn’t look, then looked again.

2. I felt embarrassed, then thought, “Wait a minute, I’m not the one with my skivvies at my feet on a pub-lic walkway.”

3. A plane fl ew by over-head.

4. The woman and I fi nal-ly made eye contact.

Uncertain of what the appropriate conversation starter should be, I said nothing and stood awk-wardly, unable to not watch as the woman pulled up her pants, stood up, and pro-ceeded to power walk to-ward me — as nonchalant as if she had just paused to tie a loose shoelace.

I considered letting her walk on by, and we would just nod heads and let this incredibly unprecedented and disturbing incident waltz away in the breeze, but then I saw it, glistening on the gravel trail way be-hind her — her own per-sonal Buttermilk Falls.

“Uh, I’m going to have to

jog through that, you know,” was the best I could do.

Without missing a beat, she shrugged her shoulders and said with a grin, “Ev-erybody goes.”

That was it. That was what she had to say, “everybody goes.” A grown woman caught bare-bottom in the midst of a very private moment in the middle of a

very public place, and those were her reciprocating re-marks.

And with those awe-in-spiring words of wisdom, she was gone. She was down the hillside, around the turn and out of sight.

Bosey and I stood for a few minutes longer, then about-faced, wanting to avoid the woman’s legacy altogether.

We jogged the two miles back and all the while I tried to reconcile what hap-pened, what it meant that I was the sole witness to this unsettling occasion, what footprint this event will im-press upon my life, why she was so casual about it all, and why — for the love of God — she didn’t just use the port-a-potty that’s con-veniently located halfway down the trail.

My brain was in work mode, racing to qualify and disqualify reasonings and resolutions for the event that had just transpired.

Bosey lunged after a squirrel, pulling the leash taut and pulling me out of my reverie.

Then I got it. It was sim-ple.

The woman was right, in an off-kilter sense. There were a million explanations for why she chose to relieve herself in the middle of the trail, or there were none. Instead of just accepting the event for what it was, I ruined a delightful spring evening by trying to deci-pher the actions of others — something I’ve learned long ago to be a resounding waste of time and effort.

Everybody goes. Some-times that’s just all there is to it.

Kentucky’s smoking nan-nies have made it clear: They want a state-government im-posed and enforced smoking ban in ev-ery public place in the commonwealth — even in local com-munities that have decided otherwise.

We must stop them.

They brush aside as insignifi cant — or worse, ignore alto-gether — the right of local governments to make smoking poli-cies that best fi t their com-munities, especially if those decisions result in a partial ban rather than a total one.

For example, the state’s Chief Smoking Nanny, El-len Hahn, who directs the University of Kentucky Cen-ter for Smoke Free Policy, recently issued her call for a statewide ban while in Bowling Green to speak to the Rotary Club.

“I think it would be really wonderful if the state would pass it,” Hahn told Dan Mod-lin, news director for Western Kentucky University’s public radio affi liate, who covered the speech. “However, let me just say — it has got to be totally comprehensive, meaning that all work places

would be covered.” Then to my amazement,

she added: “It has to have anti-pre-emptive lan-guage, meaning that local governments could do more if they wanted to.”

Look out. The nannies think those governments not satisfi ed with simply trampling on the pri-vate-property rights of business owners should be able to tell you what you can — or cannot — do in

your personal living space. Perhaps they could force

apartment-building owners to ban smoking in their units, or send armed troops to ar-rest parents who smoke at home around children.

Not only that, Hahn wants to spend “millions” on a statewide ban. Making a comment like that during an economic downturn makes me wonder what she’s been smoking.

By pushing for a statewide ban while in Bowling Green, Hahn thumbed her nose at the city commission, which voted 3-2 against a compre-hensive smoking ban in Au-gust 2007.

Instead, commissioners agreed to ban smoking in

publicly-owned places — such as courthouses and parks. It was a reasonable — and constitutionally accept-able — compromise. And based on the most recent election results, the commu-nity seems satisfi ed.

Hahn’s proposal indicates that nannies have very little interest in fi nding acceptable compromises. They would not hesitate to waste all effort by local governments that have already done their own wrestling on this issue.

The same thing happened in Hopkins County, which fought through much contro-versy and reached a decision recently that all sides accept-ed. It bans smoking in public places where those under age 18 are allowed.

This agreement resulted from nearly a yearlong fi ght, during which county law-makers tried to evade re-sponsibility by passing it to nannies in the county’s health department. Residents who fought the ban believe bu-reaucrats in Frankfort were pushing the locals to bypass elected offi cials and trample on the rights of private-prop-erty owners in the name of protecting people’s health. Look for them to try and do the same thing in other com-munities.

But after this column called attention to the magistrates’ all-out attempt to avoid mak-ing tough decisions, they worked with local residents and reached a compromise. Hahn’s proposal would undo that and cheapens efforts al-ready put forth by local resi-dents to solve the issue.

Does this sound like the so-ciety our founders intended?

How often do the smoking statists offer even the slight-est hint that they care about protecting personal-property rights or about the Constitu-tion and the liberty, freedom and personal responsibility it advances?

Instead, we hear a barrage of ideas — delivered with all the enthusiasm that true-blue socialists can muster — in-tended to further expand the interference of government into our daily lives.

Because of this, it’s time to do what my friend — and now registered Independent — Gatewood Galbraith said every generation must do: “Re-win its own freedom.”

FRANKFORT — A little less than a year from now, our state will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Ken-tucky Education Reform Act, widely considered to be one of the most important laws ever adopted by the General Assembly.

The legislation fi lled more than 900 pages, and within them were about 30 distinct ideas that, like the inner workings of a clock, depend-ed on each other for reform to work.

It was a bold step at the time, but an array of national studies since then has repeat-edly shown that our students have made signifi cant strides in less than a generation.

In recent years, howev-er, these studies have also shown that our progress has begun to slow. Earlier this month, for example, the Ken-tucky Long-Term Policy Re-search Center reported that Kentucky had dropped to 35th among the states in 2007 in its annual Education In-dex, down a spot from 2005. The current index is com-posed of 11 categories rang-ing from scores on national tests to dropout rates and the percentage of adults ages 25 to 64 with a high school di-ploma.

While we have come a long way since 1992, when our ranking was 43rd, other states have begun matching

us stride for stride, making our steady climb more diffi -cult to maintain.

A comparison with the nation’s top 10 states in the center’s index underscores just how much more work we have in front of us. The only area where we exceeded the average of those states in 2007 was fourth grade sci-ence. In the area of math, meanwhile, our fourth and eighth graders underper-formed signifi cantly.

To re-energize the spirit of reform, the General Assembly put its unanimous support last month behind Senate Bill 1. The legislation refl ects the nearly two decades’ worth of real-world knowledge we have gained since KERA’s passage, and once it is fully enacted, students, parents and teachers alike will have a better understanding of where our schools need to be and a clearer idea of how to get there.

The legislation doesn’t tinker with most aspects of KERA, such as funding or lo-cal school control, but it does deal directly with the heart of it: the development of new academic standards and the tests that measure them.

There had been a growing concern that the tests, known as CATS, were not fulfi lling their potential. Many com-plained they took too long to give and score, that they

did not measure individual progress from year to year and that they limited teach-ers in the classroom.

Senate Bill 1 ad-dresses each of these and more. The changes begin this spring, and will take another two school years to fully imple-ment.

During this inter-im, school progress will still be measured by such things as the federal No Child Left Behind Act and national tests. In the meantime, local and state school offi cials will de-vise a replacement for CATS, one that will take less time to give — fi ve days instead of 10 — and be given toward the end of the school year rather than several weeks earlier. Scores will also be returned within 75 days, rather than by the fi rst of November.

Writing portfolios, the collection of work that stu-dents write and edit during the year, will no longer be included in schools’ account-ability scores, but on-demand writing will.

Public university faculty and staff will help write the standards for older students, in the hope that it will reduce the need for remedial classes once the students are in a postsecondary school.

It will take time to turn this

76-page law into reality, but its long-term goals already appear to have broad sup-

port in the education community. As one advocate put it, by early 2011, Kentucky will have academic expectations that are “clearer, shorter and better aligned with higher education and international bench-marks.”

This comes at the same time the De-partment of Educa-

tion is searching for a new commissioner to lead the way forward. The right per-son for the job is crucial, but the company conducting the search is fortunately the same one that came up with the current leaders of the Univer-sity of Kentucky, Northern Kentucky University, and the Council on Postsecondary Education, all highly respect-ed in their fi eld.

Smoking out socialist smack on cigarettes

With spirit of reform, GA tackles education

Finding relief with the help of a public reliever

Media’s crying wolf over swine fl uThe swine fl u pandemic that’s lurking on a North

America take-over is being chalked up as nothing more than the newest of media hypes by masses of unbelievers — and who’s to blame them?

After initial reports of the onslaught of illness the disease can leave in its wake, new reports are trickling in that local health care offi ces and state health departments are having diffi culty making the public take the outbreak seriously.

The media has cried wolf for so long, that now no one’s heeding the shepherd’s warning.

In the fall of 1990, newspaper, TV and radio sources cre-ated a national tizzy that originated in south Texas where millions of adequately dubbed “killer bees” were to en-ter the country and sting every man, woman and child in sight. Guess what? Never happened. But it sure sent newsstand profi ts through the roof.

We’re so calloused by the terrible images we see broad-cast morning, noon and night that it’s become diffi cult to discern formulated ratings tactics from the real deal.

What if this is it? What if this is the next of kin to the 1918 fl u pandemic that killed roughly 20 million people? What could the media say to make us understand that “this time we’re not messing around, guys — this is seri-ous.” When do we know where media hype ends and veracity begins?

With its long history of overkill and frivolous pop cul-ture reporting, media — as a whole — has given itself a bad wrap. In this current situation, when it should be committed to its intended responsibility of presenting fact (not fear) it is being met by many with disregard ... an honest sign of a true failure of duty.

Friday, May 1, 2009 The News Standard - A5NEWSNEWS

Submitted by Paul CibolskiMeade Co. Motorcyclist

Spring has arrived after a long and cold winter, and with the presence of warm and pleasant weather comes motorcycle season.

Kentucky’s motorcycle population has increased by 307 percent in the past 10 years. In 1998, prior to the helmet modifi cation law, there were 36,000 bikes reg-istered, and today there are 110,868 registered bikes.

Meade County’s motor-cycle registration has risen 296 percent from 288 riders in 2000 to 851 in 2008.

Collisions between cycles and larger vehicles usually result in devastating inju-ries and sometimes death to riders and passengers. The best way to avoid such acci-dents is to always look twice before pulling out or back-ing out onto a roadway or protected intersections with stop signs.

When approaching an intersection to make a left-hand turn, again look twice, making sure the way is clear. If you see a motorcyclist in

the other lane, think of him or her as your son or daugh-ter, instead of thinking, “I can beat him, and even if he hits me, I won’t get hurt.”

For those of you that are riders, the best thing you can do is take a motorcycle safe-ty course. These courses are for everyone — basic courses for new riders and advanced courses for the experienced.

Fort Knox offers a sport bike class for soldiers and civilians who ride such bikes on post.

Those courses fi ll up fast, but going to one could save your life, or skin. Plus, most motorcycle insurance com-panies offer discounts for graduates of the courses.

There are several sites in Louisville, and Elizabeth-town Community and Tech-nical College offers courses as well.

The helmet law in Ken-tucky is as follows: 1) you must have a motorcycle li-cense for at least one year and be 21 or older to ride without a helmet. A motorcy-cle learner’s permit, moped permit or a driver’s license is not a motorcycle license; 2)

anyone under the age of 21 must wear a helmet regard-less if they have a motorcycle license or not; 3) passengers’ only requirement is being 21 years old or older to ride without a helmet. Any pas-senger under 21 must wear a helmet.

There’s been some con-fusion about mopeds and scooters, but the law for mopeds is as follows: You must be 16 years old. Parents or guardians must sign the application. Any person 16 years or older with a driver’s license can operate a moped. A moped is a vehicle with a no clutch, automatic trans-mission, 50 cc motor and can’t exceed 30 miles per hour top speed.

Scooters with 51 cc or greater require a motorcycle license. Helmet requirements apply to scooters the same as motorcycles.

I would strongly recom-mend wearing pro-textured clothing. Shorts, halter tops, shower shoes, et cetera, will do little to protect you in the event of a spill.

A number of manufactur-ers produce high quality

motorcycle apparel, which is your fi rst line of defense. These items can be worn in the warmest weather with-out discomfort. Yet, with all the great improvements, the greatest factor is you, the rider.

Alcohol is your greatest enemy. Over 40 percent of all rider fatalities in Kentucky in 2008 were alcohol or drug related.

Impairment slows reaction time and motor skills within the body — two areas that you depend on to ride. Your bike will perform the same; it doesn’t know you’re drunk.

If you see a fellow rider who’s had a few, try to help out; don’t let him or her ride drunk or impaired.

Remember a cycle isn’t a car or truck. If you run off the road drunk in a car or truck, there’s a chance you could walk away. On a bike, how-ever, you’re literally guaran-teed a trip to the emergency room or morgue.

So ride educated, defen-sively, and sober and watch out for fellow riders — and enjoy your riding experi-ence.

Motorists alert: Motorcycle season is approaching

Habitat house gets fresh coat with local helpBy Crystal Benham

[email protected]

Linda Dowell keeps tell-ing herself, “I can’t believe this is happening to us.” The Meade County native and her 21-year-old daughter, LaToyia, and 14-year-old son, Andre, will soon call Ruthie Court home as the family of three has become the most re-cent recipients of the county’s Habitat for Humanity home.

“I feel so blessed,” Dowell said. “It’s just hard to believe it’s almost fi nished.”

Habitat for Human-ity, along with Brandenburg Kroger, held a painting day at the home on Saturday.

Kroger manager Pamela Lee, Linda’s brother, Willie Dowell, soon-to-be neighbor, 12-year-old Kody Kennedy, Habitat for Humanity Presi-dent Mark Jones, Linda’s co-worker, Karen McCormick and her son Ethan, and a cous-in of the family, Jessica Ditto, assisted the Dowell family in painting the entire home.

Dowell is a 10-year certi-

fi ed pharmacy technician at Kroger and has had many co-workers helping her with every step of the construction process, including Rob Pack, who assisted with the instal-lation of vinyl siding.

The 1,450-square-foot home consists of three bed-rooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen,

laundry facility and scenic front porch.

Members of Brandenburg United Methodist Church and the United States Na-tional Guard have also had quite a few hands in the for-mation of the home.

Throughout the next month, the volunteer crew will lay down carpet, fi nish

the siding and install base-boards, appliances, cabinets and ceiling fans.

Jones said he anticipates the home to be completed in late May or early June. Once the home has electricity and running water, Habitat for Humanity will host a home dedication ribbon-cutting ceremony for the family.

A dance benefi ting the Honor Flight Bluegrass Net-work is planned for Sunday, May 3, at the VFW Post 11404 in Brandenburg.

Post commander Wilbur Beasley is in charge of the event, which will raise money to send veterans to see their monuments in Washington, D.C., specifi cally those who served during World War II. Through the Honor Flight program, the trips are com-pletely free for veterans.

“The monument was 60 years in coming,” Beasley said. “We want to get all of

them up there fi rst.”Post 11404 got involved

with Honor Flight Bluegrass Chapter four or fi ve years ago and has seen several lo-cal veterans make the trip to the United States Capital since. Beasley said although there are corporate sponsors who make donations, fund-raising for the trips is impor-tant.

“You wouldn’t believe the reaction you get from the veterans,” Beasley said. “It’s quite emotional.”

The next honor fl ight leaves May 16 and Beasley said the cost for each vet-eran to go is between $200 and $300. Guardians and

chaperones pay their own expenses. In an effort to get as many WWII veterans to the monuments as possible, Beasley said two planes will make the trip.

“They’re passing fast,” Beasley said, of WWII veter-ans.

Once the trip has been provided for as many WWII veterans as possible, Beasley said the organization would begin servicing more veter-ans of the Korean and Viet-nam Wars.

The Honor Flight Benefi t dance begins at 6:30 p.m. and will run until 10 p.m. Admis-sion is a minimum of $3, though more will be accept-

ed. There will be raffl es and door prizes, Beasley said.

“Our organization is to benefi t veterans, their de-pendents and the commu-nity, and of course active duty,” Beasley said. “We do what we can for those who risked their lives to protect the country that we have and those who protect our freedom so we can live in a free country. We do what we can to help them and benefi t them.”

VFW Post 11404 is locat-ed at 770 ByPass Road. For more information, call 270-422-5184. For more informa-tion about Honor Flight, visit www.honorfl ightbluegrass.

Dance to give vets opportunity to visit war memorials

“I was saved in April of 2001 and I joined CMA in 2002,” he said. “God turned me around and sent me right back to what I love: motorcycles.”

One motorcycle afi ciona-do, who wished to remain unanimous, said she has en-joyed riding bikes for nearly 12 years and has yet to miss a local CMA bike blessing. She said she fi rmly believes the blessings over her bike have helped keep her safe and accident-free.

Everyone who had his or her bike blessed received a “I was blessed-Jesus Loves Me” sticker for their motor-cycle.

According to Glad Tid-ings Pastor Marion Barnes, CMA has hosted the event with the church since 2003. Barnes held a service for the church’s biker guests

that he called “‘Rated R’ — Real, Radical and Revolu-tionary.”

After handing out awards, like “best bike” and “best American,” lo-cal and neighboring Meade County riders hit the road at 1:30 p.m. to embark on a

30-mile ride through Bran-denburg, Vine Grove and Radcliff.

Last Saturday, Boy Scout Troop 671 of Flaherty and its scout master, Anthony Farrow, got a little taste of old-school camping when they spent their weekend volunteering at Camp Sa-lem Christian Camp.

The troop spent most of the day clearing out the Ves-pers Area — an amphithe-atre that is used for prayer and outdoor church services — which is just one area of the camp that accumulated harsh damages from the January ice storm.

Camp Salem, located in Guston, is a little more than 40 years old. In 1966, J.D. Tobin, a local land and business owner, sold the 22 acres of nature to the Salem Association for $1.

The association — com-prised of Baptist ministers throughout Meade Coun-ty — decided the vicinity would be used as a camp-ground, and six years later, after many vol-unteers, donations and careful plan-ning, Camp Salem was completed.

The camp sits on top of a hill off Hill Grove Road in Gus-ton and consists of a mess hall that also serves as a recreation hall, a scenic pavil-ion that overlooks the coun-tryside, four brick cabins with bunk beds, a bathroom facility, a playground and, at the bottom of the hill, is a track and fi eld area.

Camp Salem is used for various church youth and adult retreats, high school track meets, weddings, fam-ily reunions, church services and much more.

“And you don’t have to be Baptist to use the camp,” said Ed Carroll, co-chairman of Camp Salem.

Every September, Rock Haven Community Baptist Church holds a weekend-long church service for its members at the camp, and the Woman’s Missionary Union hosts events at the campsite as well.

With the old adage, “pay it forward,” the camp only asks visitors to make a $1 deposit to reserve the area. The camp accepts dona-tions, but no other forms of payment are required.

Over the years, the camp has witnessed its ups and downs. Within the last few years, the camp had all its copper wiring stripped and stolen twice, accord-ing to the camp’s chair-man, Jim Cannady.

“We had a guy come and fix the wiring for us out of Radcliff,” Cannady said. “Instead of us paying him, he asked us to take the

money we would have used to pay him and have (part of our) roadway paved.”

Cannady and Carroll said the camp has had many hefty dona-tions from locals and supporters over the years, but the one source it

lacks is volunteers. Many of the original Camp Sa-lem board members are still maintaining the camp as best they can. But for many of them, maintain-ing the camp is becoming a challenge.

Volunteers are work-ing around the clock on the weekends to keep the camp open and accessible

to the local community, but with more helping hands, the camp could be ship-shape in no time.

Carroll said he hopes to see some additions in the future to the camp, such as air conditioning in the cabins as well as the recre-ation hall.

“It just seems like over the years less and less peo-ple are coming,” said Mary Rose Cannady, a long time Camp Salem supporter

and volunteer. “It’s just a shame. It’s so beautiful out here, and we’d like to see more people coming to stay on the weekends and volunteer.”

Camp Salem is located at 2010 Hill Grove Road in Guston — 1.8 mile south of Hwy. 60. For more in-formation on Camp Salem or to schedule an event, contact camp directors Da-vid or Karen Harris at 270-828-2084.

Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (NKJV)

In his book, “The Life You’ve Always Wanted,” John Ort-berg tells the story of an evening bath he was giving his children a few years ago.

He had three kids in the tub and was trying to get each of them cycled through the process of soaping, rinsing and drying.

It was the end of a long day, and John was hur-

rying his children along, when his daughter, Mal-lory, came up out of the

water and began to perform what had come to be known in their family as the “Dee-Dah-Day Dance.” As her fa-ther tried to dry her off, she kept her arms in the air, squirming out of his grasp, and dancing around.

As John became more irritated, he snapped at her, “Mallory, hurry up!” His daughter turned to him and asked that question of

all questions: “Why?”He had no answer. At

that moment, he had no-where to go, nothing to do, no meetings to attend, no sermons to write.

As he states, “I was just so used to hurrying, mov-ing from one task to anoth-er, that here was life, here was joy, here was an invi-tation to the dance right in front of me and I was miss-ing it.”

Many people think that the “good times“ in life are the special times like holidays or special occa-sions. But real life and real joy actually takes place be-

tween those events. As the proverb says, “Take time to smell the roses.” Don’t be in such a rush that you miss out on the joy around you. This is the day the Lord has made; rejoice and be glad and do a “Dee–Dah -Day Dance“ in it.

If you are new to the area, Grace Baptist Church invites you this Sunday to visit them at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Be sure to listen to our Radio program each Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Rev. Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

Galatians 6:10: As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, espe-cially unto them who are of the household of faith.

I don’t know how old this fable is but it certainly has some meaning for us today.

Three merchants were crossing the Arabian Des-ert. Traveling in darkness to avoid the intense heat one starless night, they were passing over a dry creek bed when a voice from the blackness com-manded them to halt.

They were then ordered to stoop, pick up pebbles form the creek bed, and put them in their pockets. After obey-ing the strange com-mand, they were told to leave that place, camping no-where near.

The mysterious voice then told them that in the morning they would be both happy and sad.

Shaken and con-fused, and obeying the mysterious intruder,

they traveled through the night. When morning came, the men anxiously

looked into their pockets, and rather than finding the pebbles as expect-ed, there were pre-cious jewels.

Indeed they were very happy and at the same time very sad. They were hap-py they had picked up the jewels, but sad because while they had the oppor-

tunity they had not picked

up many more.One day we all will

reach our journey’s end and stand before our Lord to give an account of our life.

How many of us will be overjoyed to know that our faith and service to Him have gained us eter-nal riches? Will we then be sad to realize that there was much more we could have done for Him?

Cab America brings new services, jobs to Meade CountyBy Crystal Benham

[email protected]

Meade County fair-goers may have a new service available to them this sum-mer. The service may also open up a few job opportu-nities for county residents, as well.

Those who plan to attend the county’s largest outdoor event, but dread fi ghting the traffi c and tight parking, may want to consider taking a taxicab.

Yep, that’s right, a taxi-cab.

Meade county may have a full taxi service available 24/7, 365 days a year and it may be accessible just in time for the fair.

Cab America is a one-year-old business that’s headquartered in Radcliff, Ky., and extends its services to Fort Knox. Thus far, the cab company is the only one of its kind that has offered to venture its services into rural Meade County, according to Cab America Sales Manager Jason Glickman.

While in the process of obtaining a full-time permit and certifi cate of need from the state transportation cabinet, the company is cur-rently offering the county temporary services.

Glickman, along with his cab manager, Todd Carroll, and other business support-ers attended a hearing April 22 in Elizabethtown, Ky. (E-town) asking the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) for full-time per-mits in E-town and Meade County.

“We should be hearing something back from them in 60 days, but we currently have a 60-day temporary permit, and we went ahead and applied for another 60-day permit, which allows us in Meade County for 120 days,” Glickman said.

Glickman said he thinks things went well at the hear-ing and he feels optimistic about obtaining a Meade

County permit.“I would say there’s a 90

percent chance we’ll get (the permit), but I just can’t say anything for sure until we hear back from the (KYTC),” he said.

Glickman said those who are interested in utilizing the cab service during the fair should keep his or her fair pamphlet handy. The advertisement will list Cab America’s services and con-tact information for poten-tial customers.

Cab America’s owner, Walleed Hammad, opened the business after moving from Chicago to Louisville. Hammad formed the busi-ness with one thing in mind: to strictly offer 100 percent quality services.

According to Glickman and Carroll, when hiring drivers the business con-ducts a seven-year federal background check on all its employees, including a complete driving record and a drug screening.

Each driver must look presentable and clean-cut. At the end of each shift, the driver vacuums and washes his or her vehicle and reports any suspected problems. Each van or car is SI certifi ed, insured and serviced regularly — every

3,000 miles — and is main-tained inside and out.

“The drivers have ‘in de-script sheets’ that they fi ll out — they felt a wobble, back right tire. I tell them, ‘drop it off at (Al’s Garage in Radcliff). I’ll get it in the morning.’ We fi x them im-mediately,” Glickman said.

“This company is new, but all of our employees left other companies because of their vehicle conditions and other problems,” Glickman said. “(Customers) can tell a difference in our cabs and others that are in Radcliff and E-town.”

The company has 15-, 12- and seven-passenger vans along with multiple cars, and has the ability to ac-commodate to any family outing, wedding, bachelor/bachelorette party or large event. Many of the vehicles are equipped with GPS sys-tems.

The company offers its services to hotels, bars, nurs-ing homes, chiropractic and therapy offi ces, delivery ser-vices like FedEx and other businesses in and around the Meade County area.

“We work a lot with Boon-dock’s (in Flaherty), bringing soldiers back and forth from Ft. Knox,” Carroll said.

“We’ve probably increased

their business nearly 70 per-cent,” Glickman said.

Cab America offers a fl at rate, from anywhere in the county to the airport for $85, though Glickman recently lowered that rate to $80 as part of its Meade County introductory fees, which in-cludes a low $5 pick up fee plus $1 a mile.

Smoking is allowed in the cab, but after each custom-er who smokes inside, the driver must air the vehicle out and spray Febreze Fab-ric Refresher inside the car to eliminate odors, Glick-man said.

“If our driver is a smok-er, he’s required to ask the customer for permission to smoke inside the car, and if I fi nd out they didn’t ask the customer, they get written up,” he said.

Glickman is the former sales manager for City Cabs in E-town and has fi ve years experience in cab sales and services.

“We started this company and in our second month we did $56,000 with seven vehicles in two counties,” Glickman said. “We started out with two drivers and we have 16 employees now and probably, by next month, we’ll be up to 25.”

Carroll has had nearly

12 years experience driv-ing a cab and said some of his drivers have more than 20 years experience on the road.

Hammad also made sure to supply the company with four all-wheel drive vehicles to accommodate Kentucky’s infamous icy weather. One of those four-wheel drive vehicles helped save a 75-year-old Ekron woman’s life during the January ice storm.

“Nobody could get to her and we sent one of our guys out there in a four-wheel drive,” Carroll said. “The lady’s son was in Louisville and couldn’t get down here to get her … and a friend of his had told him that the (employees) at Cab America would go anywhere, so they called us.”

After a few trial and er-ror sessions with a large, gravel hill, the driver fi nally rescued the woman — who had gone without food and water for two days — from her home at the top of the hill. The driver got her safe-ly to her son’s home in Lou-isville.

Cab America is a 24-hours taxicab service that’s open seven days a week. To con-tact them for services or questions, call 270-352-2222

or 270-351-7373. The compa-ny is currently in the process of constructing a Web site, www.cabamerica.net, which Glickman said should be available soon.

Glickman, Carroll and their drivers asked for pa-tience and support as they work on receiving their Meade County business permits.

The company plans to have cabs available in Bran-denburg for services, but most of them will depart from the Radcliff headquar-ters, which is an average re-sponse time of 20 minutes.

Cab America employment opportunities:

Cab America is looking for new drivers who are from the Meade County area. The job requirements are as follows: must be clean-cut and shaved (for men); must pass a sev-en-year federal background check; must have a clean driv-ing record; must pass a drug screening; must be familiar with the area, including back roads; must have a Kentucky state driver’s license that’s been valid for two years.

To inquire about the job or to apply, contact Jason Glick-man at Cab America (phone numbers listed above), or call, 270-312-1746.

Hidden costs of major appliancesBy David Uffi ngtonDollars and Sense

The true price of a major appliance is what it costs to take out of the store, plus what it costs to run it once you get it home. Since appli-ances can account for a hefty portion of your monthly power bill, the lower price of an appliance on sale might not be much of a bargain if you end up paying higher electric bills for the next 10 years.

Before you buy a new major appliance, look at the energy-rating info. Laws re-quire that manufacturers put Energy Guide labels on all major appliances. The labels must include the results of independent laboratory tests and information such as the capacity and estimated an-nual electrical consumption for a particular model, as well as for comparable mod-els. EnergyStar appliances must additionally be much more effi cient than other

average models. (For more information, see www.ener-gystar.gov.)

The U.S. Department of Energy has a Web site loaded with energy-saving informa-tion. At www.energysavers.gov, click on Appliances and Electronics, and look for Esti-mating Appliance and Home Electronic Energy Use. Ap-ply the formula to calculate the energy used by your cur-rent appliances and electron-ics, as well as any you intend to buy. Remember to add in your “phantom” loads: ap-pliances that use electricity even when they’re turned off. Examples of this are tele-visions and computers. (To turn them completely off, cut the power via a power strip.) A big question among computer users is whether to turn the computer off dur-ing the day or to leave it on. A rule of thumb is to turn off the monitor if you won’t use it for 20 minutes, and both the monitor and computer if you won’t use them for two

hours.At EERE.Energy.gov, you

can download a PDF book-let that covers saving energy, your home’s energy use, heating and cooling, win-dows, lighting, appliances, major appliances shopping guide and more.

Before you buy a major appliance, look online for ratings. If you subscribe to Consumer Reports, you can purchase yearly access to its online database of test results and recommenda-tions. (It’s a few dollars less if you already subscribe to the magazine.) You can also buy a one-month subscription if you’re not likely to use the service for a whole year.

Recent widespread re-ports of cutworm damage in fl oat beds are a good re-minder for tobacco growers to keep a close watch on to-bacco fl oat beds and greenhouses to catch and treat small prob-lems before they be-come big ones.

A few worms can do a lot of damage in a day or two on small plants. Prob-lems can occur on plants beginning at the two-leaf stage. On small plants, up to dime-size portions of the plant may be missing.

Upon closer examination, you often fi nd just the stub of the stem remaining and possibly a few partially con-sumed plants. Sometimes you may fi nd the culprit under the partially eaten plants, but often they bur-

row into the soil during the day.

To control cutworms, your best bet is to use products that contain acephate at a rate of one table-spoon per three gal-lons of water. Spray to cover the plants and the tray surfac-es. You may reduce cutworm problems if you control veg-etation around the perimeter of the beds and spray acephate around

the perimeter of the beds to limit the worms’ entry.

During extended periods of cloudy weather and high relative humidity, growers need to watch for stem rot disease in the fl oat system. The fl oat system provides favorable conditions for the development of these types of diseases.

Several types of fungi, and occasionally some bac-teria, can cause these rots. Spraying the wrong product can result in unsatisfactory disease control and loss of additional plants, so it pays to take a tray to the local ex-tension offi ce and have the problem identifi ed.

Some general recommen-dations for reducing rot problems in tobacco green-houses include:

•Maintaining the fertiliz-er level in the recommend-ed range of 75 to 125 parts per million nitrogren.

•Manage humidity levels by fl ushing the air inside the greenhouse several times a day and even during the nighttime hours.

•Maintaining the water levels such that the top of the trays are above the level of boards; this encourages improved air fl ow at the tray surface.

•Using good clipping practices to improve air fl ow and light penetration.

•Clipping only when foli-age is dry and using a sharp and slow blade to remove the clipped material without grinding. Any material that falls back to the tray has the potential to spread disease to surrounding plants.

•Burying or disposing of clipped material at least 100 yards from the fl oat bed.

You should examine your fl oat beds at least once a day so you can catch any prob-lems early and take appro-priate measures to protect young tobacco plants.

For more information on tobacco production and management issues, contact the Meade County Coop-erative Extension Service at 270-422-4958.

In response to public questions, Agriculture Com-missioner Richie Farmer to-day reiterated that concerns over the worldwide out-break of H1N1 fl u should not extend to eating pork.

“The experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control have made it quite plain: you cannot get swine fl u from eating pork,” Com-missioner Farmer said. “Epidemiologists have told me that the strain which has prompted health offi cials to issue alerts is very different from any disease found in hogs, and that the current spread of the disease is from human-to-human transmis-sion, and not from either the consumption of pork or from contact with hogs.”

According to the CDC, most infl uenza viruses are not spread by food, and

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said earlier this week that no food safety issues related to this outbreak have been identifi ed.

The Commissioner has been in contact with Federal and other state agricultural offi cials and said this virus subtype has never been identifi ed in hogs in the United States or anywhere else in the world.

Commissioner Farmer noted that even if a pig did have the disease, it would not enter the U.S. food sup-ply because it would not pass Federal inspection.

Mike Oveson, Executive Director of the Kentucky Pork Producers Associa-tion, said his organization is encouraging pork produc-ers to tighten their biosecu-rity procedures to protect their animals from infec-tion. More information for producers is available at the

National Pork Producers Council Web site at www.nppc.org.

Last week, Commissioner Farmer directed the state’s livestock diagnostic labora-tories to begin testing swine tissue samples for the H1N1 virus as a precautionary measure. To date, no evi-dence of the virus has been uncovered.

Biosecurity for hog pro-ducers

•Workers should shower and change into farm-specif-ic clothes and shoes before entering swine facilities.

•Establish, implement and enforce strict sick leave policies for workers presenting infl uenza-like symptoms.

•Recommend that work-ers with symptoms be seen by a medical provider im-mediately.

•Restrict the entry of people into your facility to

only workers and essential service personnel.

•Prevent international visitors from entering your facilities.

•Ensure adequate ventila-tion in facilities to minimize re-circulation of air inside animal housing facilities.

•Vaccinate pigs against the infl uenza virus. Vac-cination of pigs can reduce the levels of virus shed by infected animals

•Contact your swine vet-erinarian if swine exhibit fl u-like or respiratory ill-ness, especially if the onset or presentation of the illness is unusual.

•Notify the Kentucky De-partment of Agriculture’s Offi ce of the State Veteri-narian at 502-564-3956 after you have contacted your veterinarian

Ag commissioner comments on swine fl u

By Laura [email protected]

The Meade County High School rodeo club round-ed up one last time before school’s end to bid farewell to two seniors, and welcome a new crew of offi cers.

Seniors Courtney Eby and Erin Quetot were commend-ed for their dedication to the club, and were presented with gifts by underclassmen members.

Club advisor Charlotte Shepard thanked the girls for the participation and wished them good luck in future en-deavors.

“I hope to keep riding in college,” Eby said.

She joined the club three years ago, competing in pole bending and barrel racing.

“I’ve shown horses with 4-H for nine years ... and have just been around them my whole life,” she said.

Quetot — who also joined the rodeo club three years ago — was raised around horses as well and eventu-ally took a liking to showing American Saddlebred.

The club is nearly 40 mem-bers strong and students compete throughout the year at rodeos held all across the state. Some competitions are held as locally as Payn-eville and others as distant as Marion., Warren and Mc-Creary counties.

Several Meade County rodeoers will compete in districts on Memorial Day weekend in Liberty, Ky.

“It takes a lot of hard work ... but they’re really great kids,” Shepard said. “We just have a lot of fun ... and go out and support each other.

During Wednesday’s end-of-the-year banquet, six new offi cers were elected for the next school year: president Brian Rule, vice president Essence Hammock, secre-tary Casey Mattingly, trea-surer Carly Evans, reporter Harlie Bates and sergeant of

arms Zach Willet.“We’ve been leading off

the homecoming parade the past few years which has been pretty big for us,” Shepard said. “Our ultimate goal is to work out the insur-ance ... and other paperwork issues and be able to hold a

rodeo at the (Meade County) fairgrounds.”

The rodeo club holds sign-ups in the fall, though ac-cepts students throughout the school year. Students interested in joining should meet with Charlotte Shepard during the school day.

Lots of communities in Kentucky have museums, but few compare in size and quality to the 15-year-old facility in downtown Cynthiana, Ky.

And, with soon-to-be 90-year-old Harold Slade in charge, it’s nearly cer-tain none are as secure.

The Harrison County native calls himself the museum’s “hanger-up-per,” but to one man, he’s also a would-be knocker-downer.

Last summer, the slen-der World War II veteran had an encounter with an armed robber who had entered his home in rural Harrison County.

The gunman wanted money and pointed his .22 caliber automatic at Slade, who stood his ground while threatening to take a swing with a vintage Louisville Slugger softball bat.

“We were kind of jawing at each other, but I don’t remember what he said because I don’t hear very well,” Slade said.

Seconds later, the in-truder decided to leave the house and fled down the road, with the bat-wielding senior citizen in hot pursuit.

With help from neigh-bors and law enforcement, the 39-year-old man with a criminal record was cap-tured and is now serving time in prison.

For most people, this would be the ultimate traumatic experience of a lifetime, but for this bat-

tle-tested member of the 149th Tank Company of the 38th Infantry Division, it’s just another chapter in an adventure-filled exis-tence.

From the early days when he served as an as-sistant scout master “who couldn’t swim a lick,” to military duty that took

him around the globe, Slade has been a man of service to his country and community.

He continues to write a newsletter for the rapidly dwindling fellow soldiers and family members of his army unit nicknamed the Cyclone Division. And in addition to his duties at

the museum, he and wife Dorothy have long led ef-forts to reclaim and main-tain three local cemeteries.

The community ser-vice efforts have earned him recognition in Steve Flairty’s book “Kentucky’s Everyday Heroes.”

You’ll find him at the museum nearly every Fri-

day and Saturday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., usually accompanied by five or six other volunteers.

“When we opened in 1994, we had trouble finding help, but now we sometimes have more volunteers than visitors, especially on Fridays,” he said.

“We had a lot of nerve calling it a museum when we opened because we only had 15 or 20 items in one big room, but dona-tions starting coming in quickly,” he says.

Now housed in the old Rohs Theatre built in 1922, and once a roller rink op-erated by the Ameri-can Legion, the museum in-cludes hun-dreds of artifacts. Most relate to Harrison County including long-gone busi-nesses and schools.

Among the more unique items is a state map with each of the 120 counties outlined in different color buttons.

This was an effort of a local resident who un-dertook the project in the 1960s while recuperating from a heart attack

Slade and the museum also were instrumental in uncovering ties be-tween the community and the famed Raggedy Ann dolls.

Joni Gruelle Wannamak-er, granddaughter of Rag-gedy Ann creator Johnny Gruelle, was in Cynthiana seeking information about her great-grandfather, R.

B. Gruelle, who was born there in 1851.

Slade shared stories with Wannamaker about her ancestors and put her in touch with another com-munity leader interested in promoting tourism.

That connection led to Wannamaker aiding the community in establishing a Raggedy Ann Festival in Cynthiana, Ky.

A section near the front of the museum now houses a small collection of items related to the fa-mous dolls.

Also among the collection are items from

Slade’s past, including a silk shirt

made by his mother from materials he sent her from the war zone and several vintage toys he played with as a boy.

He has a new bat, cour-tesy of the folks at the Louisville Slugger factory in Louisville who invited him and his family down for a tour after reading about his run-in with the intruder.

But don’t expect to see the old bat on display at the museum anytime soon.

“I’m keeping it at home in case I ever need it again,” he said.

An Enchanted EveningMeade County High School juniors and seniors fl ocked to the

high school gym Saturday, April 23, and found an elegant dance

fl oor awaiting them.

Prom 2009 promised those students, and anyone else attending,

“An Enchanted Evening,” the theme of the occasion.

Soft white lights were strung from the ceilings and pink and

black decorations covered the entrance and the tables.

Early in the evening, students and their dates packed the dance

fl oor to show how to “crank that” to Soulja Boy’s hit song, as well

as square dancing to “Cotton Eye Joe.”

Finally, the pinnacle of prom arrived, as two seniors were

crowned Meade County High School prom 2009 king and queen,

Michael Addesa and Taylor Smith.

“I was very surprised,” Addesa said. “I didn’t think I’d win at

all.”

Smith was also shocked to be crowned queen.

“It was cool that everyone voted,” she said. “I was very surprised

… I didn’t even think about winning.”

The seniors celebrated one of their last times together well into

the night, as it truly was an “enchanted evening.”

THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI

By Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

Joey Logano is struggling as a rook-ie in the Sprint Cup Series, which re-ally shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, since Logano is all of 18 years old.

Ever since Mark Martin began rav-ing about this kid who is destined to win championships — Logano was 13 or so at the time — Logano has been widely regarded as a star of the future. He had to wait for his 18th birthday — he’ll turn 19 on May 24, by the way — to race in the Nationwide Series for the fi rst time. He won his third race, at Kentucky Speedway.

Logano became the fi rst driver to win more than once at the age of 18 with his Pepsi 300 victory at Nashville Superspeedway. In his rookie Sprint Cup season, though, the Middletown, Conn., native has struggled. He ranks 35th in the point standings.

Asked how much the Nashville vic-tory meant, Logano said, “More than you think, that’s for sure. It’s been a long time coming since Kentucky last year, and we should have won a lot more. To get this is what this whole team needed.”

Logano bears the heavy burden of driving Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 20 Toyota in Sprint Cup. The number — and team— earned fame with Tony Stewart, who won championships in 2002 and 2005. Logano was named as Stewart’s replacement when the vet-eran star took the role of both owner and driver at Stewart Haas Racing.

In the current confi guration, Cup cars are much more diffi cult to drive than their Nationwide Series counter-parts. Logano is still trying to make

Meade County Lady Waves Softball

By Ben [email protected]

Sophomore Kristin Ben-ton was a lead-off slap hit-ter last season for the Meade County Lady Waves, but this year after hitting two home runs, her transforma-tion to a power hitter has gone smoothly, not to men-tion rewarding to the team.

Benton’s team-high sec-

ond home run of the sea-son couldn’t have come at a better time against the state’s No. 1 ranked team, the Ballard Lady Bruins, when she hit a home run in the fi rst inning making the score 1-0.

“It’s exciting because I got my fi rst home run this season,” Benton said. “It feels great to hit one out and get the team going.”

Benton ended the game 3-for-3 with two doubles as the Lady Waves rolled on to win 2-1. With her season batting average hovering over .350 and a team-high eight RBIs, head coach Har-

reld is happy to have Benton swinging away rather than slapping down base hits.

“(During) some of the practices she started to hit the ball out of the park,” Harreld said. “Last year she hit the ball hard (as a slap-per). But she has an extreme-ly quick bat and she gets around on it. So we got her to start swinging the bat.”

After Benton’s home run junior outfi elder Erin Sireno hit a standup triple to score senior Amanda Smith, ex-tending the lead, 2-0.

Staff ReportThe News Standard

As the teams gear up for the re-gional and state meets later on this month, the Meade County High School track has seen some success this past week.

Last Friday, the teams traveled to Green County to compete in the Green County High School Invitational.

The girls team fi nished in third place, including a fi rst place fi n-ish in the 100-meter hurdles by Tiffany Brown.

The 4x200-meter relay also fi n-ished fi rst with a time of 1:49.73. Car-ly Evans jumped a 34-01 in the triple jump, good for a fi rst place fi nish.

The boys team fi nished in eighth place with 40 points, while Cody

The Meade County Greenwave baseball team’s offense awoke late against Taylor County on Saturday, eventually earning the team a widespread victory.

The game was shortened due to the mercy rule when the Greenwave put up a 15-run inning in the fi fth inning to eventually win 17-1.

The late-inning rally started when senior Mikie DeRossett reached third base by getting hit by a pitch, stealing second and taking third base on a wild pitch. The next two batters, juniors Daniel DeRossett and Andrew Oliver walked to load the bases.

Freshman Bo Wilson singled to score both Mik-

ie DeRossett and Daniel DeRossett, making the score, 4-0.

Two batters later, junior Ty-ler Yates hit a two RBI single to score Oliver and Wilson.

After another walk, freshman Brady Smith sin-gled to score Yates.

The offense batted around the lineup twice during the inning and had 11 hits. Both Mikie DeRossett and Daniel DeRossett had three at bats.

Mikie DeRossett had a single and a double in the inning and added four RBIs. He also pitched the complete game, giving up three hits and an earned run, while fanning seven batters.

Junior Justin Amburgey added three hits in the game and scored three runs. Freshman Bo Wilson

had a double and a single with three RBIs.

Greenwave wins close game

In the second game on Saturday, the Meade Coun-ty Greenwave team won a close game, 8-7, against Nelson County.

The Greenwave opened the scoring in the fi rst in-ning when freshman Brady Smith hit an RBI single.

The fi fth inning proved to be a big inning for the Greenwave when they put up four runs on the board, including junior Justin Amburgey’s two run hom-er. Sophomore Scott King also knocked in two runs on a single.

Meade County then added

inning, Ballard answered back by scoring a run with two outs, 2-1.

But that’s all the Lady Waves would need as freshman start-ing pitcher Amanda Logsdon shut down Ballard’s potent offense which scored 201 runs during its fi rst 23 games. She pitched all seven innings for the win with fi ve strikeouts and scattered six hits.

“They do have a potent of-fense,” Harreld said, of Bal-lard. “When we scrimmaged them earlier in the year, Maris (Harreld) pitched four innings and held them to no runs and Amanda (Logsdon) held them to no runs too. So I felt good about our pitch-ing and defense. I knew it would be a matter of time-ly hits or getting the bunt down at the right time. Our kids raised to the occasion big time today.”

The win was also the pro-gram’s fi rst victory over a No. 1 ranked team.

“That was a really big win

for our program,” Harreld said. “I don’t think we’ve ever beat a No. 1 ranked team. We’ve beat teams who were eventually No. 1, but not like this.” Emotional senior night ends with undefeated district play

Fittingly, the Meade Coun-ty Lady Waves softball se-niors stepped up their game against 11th District rival Breckinridge County during senior night on Tuesday.

With the Lady Waves down 4-0 in the third in-ning, senior Claire Cannady scored off a sophomore Kris-tin Benton single. Cannady ended up scoring twice for the Lady Waves.

Then senior third base-man Amanda Smith drilled a standup double to score freshman Nicole Brown and sophomore Kristin Benton to bring Meade County within one run, 4-3.

With the score remaining the same the next two in-nings, the Lady Waves pro-duced three runs in the sixth inning. Cannady hit a sharp grounder to second base and a fi elder’s choice error scored junior Erin Sireno from third

to tie the game up, 4-4. Mallory Wathen, who hit a

hard grounder deep into the left side of the infi eld, knocked the go ahead run in ,and a Ben-ton single scored Cannady for an insurance run, 6-4.

Harreld received the win pitching six innings, striking out fi ve, walking one and giv-ing up 10 hits.

With the win, the Lady Waves went 4-0 in the 11th District and will be the No. 1 seed and host of the dis-trict tournament held later on this month. Waves ease past N. Bullitt

Kayla Padgetts’s three RBIs led the way for the Meade County Lady Waves as they rolled to a 7-0 victory over North Bullitt last Friday.

Padgett went 2-for-4 and scored twice during the game, while sophomore Kris-tin Benton went 2-for-2 and scored twice.

Seniors Taylor Smith and Megan Fackler each had a hit along with junior Mal-lory Wathen.

Senior Maris Harreld pitched the complete game with 10 strikeouts, while only giving up two hits.

Warm weather heats up offenseThe Meade County Lady

Waves’ offense heated up along with the weather last Thursday when they beat Floyd Central (Ind.), 7-2.

Sophomore Kayla Padgett had a two RBI single, while junior Erin Sireno and senior Taylor Smith each had two hits and an RBI. Senior fi rst baseman Megan Fackler also added an RBI single.

Senior Maris Harreld pitched the complete game giving up seven hits and striking out three batters. N. H. hands Meade third loss

The Meade County Lady Waves traveled to North Hardin to face the No. 14 Lady Trojans on Monday and lost 1-3.

The Lady Waves could manufacture only six hits in-cluding two singles by junior Erin Sireno. Senior Amanda Smith hit an RBI single to score sophomore Kayla Padgett. Padgett also added a hit.

Amanda Logsdon record-ed the loss giving up four hits and two earned runs in two innings of work, while senior Maris Harreld pitched four innings and struck out fi ve.

tant for any young driver’s psyche.

“It’s big for me,” said Logano. “It’s an awesome confi dence booster, for sure. Looking and saying, ‘Hey, I can do this; I am here for a reason; I can win races.’ That’s big. Just to reassure yourself of that.

“I’m sure this is just go-ing to keep carrying on, and now we just have to build on this momentum and keep going.”

Last Week’s Solutions

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you're looking for.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week's end.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine self-confi dence comes roaring back after a brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding challenges and ultimately emerge triumphant.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Virgos who have made a major commitment -- personal or professional -- should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of self-confi dence to help them follow through.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You could soon receive news from a surprising source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A surprise move of support from a colleague who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps infl uence others to take a new look at what you've put on the table.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While a bold decision to take an "I know what I'm doing" approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A misunderstanding 'twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests. Talk it out to see at what point the confusion might have started.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Getting into a community operation fulfi lls the Aquarian's need to help people. It also can lead to new contacts that might one day help you with a project.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A minor problem could delay the start of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use the time to recheck your travel plans. You might fi nd a better way to get where you're going.BORN THIS WEEK: You are a dedicated romantic who seeks both excitement and stability in your relationships.

In the novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, however, Tarzan was quite a linguist, speaking French, Latin, English, German, Dutch, Portuguese, several dialects of Arabic and ancient Mayan.

Submitted by John Wilson and KUNA delegates at DTW

Sixth, seventh and eighth

grade students from Da-vid T. Wilson Elementary School and Stuart Pepper Middle School participat-ed in the YMCA program, Kentucky United Nations Assembly (KUNA), on March 26-28.

The program allows students to research other countries and learn about global issues that affect the world. Students create and write proposals based on their countries’ prob-lems and try to find solu-tions.

The junior division of KUNA focused on the countries Malta and the Philippines this year.

KUNA delegates also are asked to participate in a service project to help raise money for charities.

The sixth grade KUNA delegates at DTW wanted to do something special be-cause they knew the mon-ey would go for a great cause so they chose WHAS

Crusade for Children. Students at DTW have

to wear uniforms because of the school’s dress code. Knowing that everyone loved free dress day, so they decided that if a student brought in any amount of money, they could have free dress day. They did not ask for a specific amount, the only requirement was to give

something. This fundraiser was a

great success. In one day delegates raised $498.50. All the money collected will go to the WHAS Cru-sade for Children char-ity in hope that the lives of special needs children throughout Kentucky may improve.

The donations were col-lected with the intent to

show the world how im-portant it is for everyone to find a cause and to sup-port it.

Delegates collected this money by receiving dona-tions from students and staff members, ranging from a penny to a $20 bill; this supports the idea that just a little bit of money and a lot of heart can help out the children of the world.

Library celebrates Earth Day

Submitted by the Meade County Public Library

Preschoolers learned ways to help save the plan-et, practiced recycling and planted seeds during an Earth Day-themed story hour held last week.

The children also part-nered with Kroger, who donated paper grocery bags that were decorated with Earth Day artwork, and then given out to customers at the store on April 22.

On the mornings of May 18 and 19, the library will host A Very Hungry Sto-rytime from 10:30-11:30 a.m. This month as we learn about the great out-

doors, come listen to Eric Carle’s classic book, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.” Also, enjoy a craft, songs and fun activities about bugs.

A Bedtime Story Night will be held May 12 from 6:30-7 p.m. in the Chil-dren’s Library. Children and their caregivers are welcome to join us for our monthly bedtime story night.

Listen to stories, lulla-bies and get ready for bed. Come in your pajamas and bring your favorite stuffed animal.

For more information about upcoming events, contact the library at 270-422-2094.

Two Meade County High School newspaper staff writers recently won an award at the annual Ken-tucky High School Journal-ism Association state con-ference.

Seniors Stephen Bragg and Christian Eiden were recognized at the confer-ence, held in Shepherds-ville, Ky. April 14 and 15, for winning third place for their joint column printed in the school’s newspaper, The Current — a bi-semes-ter publication.

According to Bragg and Stephen, the column, called “Alright’s and Not Quite’s” shares the twosome’s view on current motion picture fi lms and various actors who appear in them.

“We basically give them a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down and we pick them apart and write about the good parts and the bad parts,” Bragg said.

Shannon Anderson, the MCHS journalism advisor, said The Current has a dedi-cated staff with many excel-lent writers. She hopes her future classes will be just as successful as this year’s. With the school’s one-year-old Macintosh Computer Lab (better known as “The Mac Lab”), Anderson hopes to see some extra efforts in the layout aspect of The Current by using updated programs like InDesign and Photoshop.

The Current also won four awards in March 2009 when it attended the Mark of Excellence Contest held at Western Kentucky Uni-versity in Bowling Green, Ky.

The staff brought home third place in Best News-paper Advertisement, Best

Single Page Design, and Best Editorial. It also won Honorable Mention for Best Front Page Design.

While attending the con-test, students were given the option of having lunch with professional journal-ists.

“It was called ‘Pizza with the Pros,’” said John Stroud, a junior staff reporter. “We got to ask them questions from a professional stand-point. They explained all the different careers you

can go into with journalism. I found that I’d like to pur-sue the photography aspect of journalism.”

Anderson said as far as fu-ture plans with the program, “I would like to see us try to bring in a separate class for photojournalism.” Currently, she is required to teach As-sociated Press style writing, design, and photography in one semester and “you just can’t get it all in.”

As for Bragg and Eiden, they both wish to attend

college after graduation with a focus in writing.

“I can’t imagine going into any other career other than journalism,” Bragg said. “I plan to attend (Jef-fersontown Community College) for my fi rst couple of years of college.”

“I hope to get into (the University of Louisville),” Eiden said. “I’m not sure if I want to do something in journalism, but I know I want to do something with writing.”

Journalism students earn column writing award at state convention

Battletown Elemen-tary School held its annual Spring Fling festival last Friday, welcoming students, their friends and fam-ily members to enjoy some small town fun on a beautiful day. Food, games and an auction were part of the festivities, as well as a corn hole tourna-ment.

The founders of Meade

County Archers feel its pos-sibilities are endless.

With the club still in its infant stage, president Brian Hamilton and vice presi-dent Mike Greenwell are continually batting ideas back and forth.

“We could do that,” Greenwell said eagerly about possibly helping new hunters go out and hunt. “That’s a good idea. I would take anyone out.”

Hamilton agreed, “That’s something we could do this fall or next year.”

With the brewing ideas, the two of them want this club to not “fi zzle,” which many clubs do after a few years, ac-cording to Hamilton.

“I’m thinking this is going to stay and this is going to be good,” he said. “Most of us are pretty dedicated and committed to archery. The club offers any interested archer a chance for oppor-tunities to shoot.”

For $30, members and

their immediate families can enjoy what the club has to offer at the sportsman club facilities at the Meade County fairgrounds and the shooting rage at Yellowbank Wildlife Management area.

The group presently has between 30 to 40 members — a solid foundation for a club bound to fl ourish in a community steeped in hunt-ing and archery enthusiasm.

“If we can get everyone focused and organized, then we can make a lot of things happen,” Hamilton said. “We can do pretty much any-thing we want to. I would really like to get to the point where we can have banquets and big functions.”

In the last month, Meade County Archers has cleaned up the shoot-ing range at Yellowbank and built a brand new pa-vilion. Next on the list is painting the indoor range at the sportsman club and replacing the lighting.

“That place is awesome,” Greenwell said of the sports-man club. “If we get some minor things done in there it

will be even more nice. (The facility) will give us a chance to do stuff year-round.”

The attraction to archery in Meade County has grown exponentially, over the years, in large part due to the schools’ archery programs.

“Now that the school pro-gram is so strong, there’s so much room for involve-ment,” Greenwell said. “We were going to call it Meade County Bow Hunt-ers, but that’s not what it’s all about. You don’t have to hunt to be an archer. So we call it Meade County Ar-chers because that involves NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program), tra-ditional hunters, bow fi sh-erman and everyone who uses a bow.”

“There’s a whole lot of people interested in archery in Meade County,” Ham-ilton added. “We want to get everyone together that is focused on one thing. A lot of clubs are about hunt-ing and stuff. This is more about archer itself. This is for everyone.”

The $30 membership

gives access to everyone in the immediate family, which Hamilton hopes will fuel frequent “family days.”

“We’re just playing it by ear right now,” he said. “Once we get more members, we’ll really get this thing rolling where we’ll have potluck din-ners, where we’ll have trap shooting and contests. It would just be a great day for the whole family.”

The club also provides $1 million life insurance cover-age to all of its members who shoot on site. Giving mem-bers an opportunity to be insured was one of the big-gest reasons the club chose to pair up with the Meade County Sportsman Club.

“If we would have gotten insurance on our own, then membership costs would be out the wazoo,” Greenwell said. “But with the hard eco-nomic times, we didn’t want to have expensive dues. We think you’ll get your mon-ey’s worth for $30.”

The club will meet on Tuesday, May 12, at 6 p.m. at the Sportsman Club at

the fairgrounds in Branden-burg. All members and po-tential members are encour-aged to attend. The club will also have a grand opening of the pavilion at Yellow-

bank on Saturday, May 16 along with a club shoot.

Archery club aims to give opportunities

FRANKFORT — Bag-ging a turkey is anything but automatic. Along with experience, it pays to have a little luck in your pocket. The eastern wild turkey has vision and a sense of surroundings unlike any other game bird in the forest. Host Tim Farmer knows this and so does Roger Dale Coffey. The two hunt opening morn-ing in Russell County near Lake Cumberland. Watch as two strategies combine for one great day on “Ken-tucky Afi eld” television,

airing this weekend, May 2 and 3.

Also on the show, student archers aim for glory. At the International Convention Center in Louisville, we follow throngs of elementa-ry, middle and high school students as they compete in the 7th annual state cham-pionship of the National Archery in the Schools Pro-gram. Our guest includes Jennie Richardson, state ar-chery program coordinator for the Kentucky Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

“Kentucky Afield” is a production of the Ken-tucky Department of Fish

and Wildlife Resources. It is the longest continu-ously running outdoor television show in the nation. The program airs Saturday at 8:30 p.m. EST/7:30 p.m. CDT and repeats Sunday at 4 p.m. EST/3 p.m. CDT on KET 1. You can also view show segments on the Internet at fw.ky.gov.

On April 21, 2009, the Bluegrass Homemakers had a short meeting enroute to Glendale, Ky. on their yearly fun trip. Everyone answered roll call with a good April fool’s joke. Shirley Ansbaugh was absent and missed by all. Several names were giv-en for Sunshine cards.

We all enjoyed the shops and antiques. Most of all we enjoyed the plentiful food

at the Whistle Stop. On the way home we stopped at Elizabethtown, Ky., for des-sert and coffee. We will not admit to the calories we had there. But after all, this was our yearly fun trip.

Next lesson is April 28. Ann and Shirley A. will at-tend. Murial will host the May meeting.
