Cory Burkeen (right) stands at the po-dium in a Marshall Circuit courtroom on Monday as his attorney, James Bur-keen, turns around and speaks to Com-monwealth Attorney Mark Blankenship. Cory Burkeen, who is not related to his attorney, was sen-tenced to 10 years in prison on a series of charges stemming from a Memorial Day 2012 wreck that killed one teen and injured three others.

The man responsible for tak-ing the life of a Marshall County teen and injuring three others in a Memorial Day 2012 wreck is of-fi cially headed to prison to serve a 10-year sentence.

Cory Burkeen stood in front of Circuit Judge Dennis Foust on Monday in a Marshall County Cir-cuit courtroom and received his sentence as members of his fam-ily, surviving passengers and their families, and the family of 19-year-old Landon Lovett watched.

Lovett died Nov. 20 from inju-ries received in the May 28, 2012, crash on Ky. 95 in Marshall Coun-ty, while Shane McKenty, Lake McGregor and Maggie Adams continue to recover from injuries. Burkeen’s truck struck a vehicle that Lovett, McKenty, McGregor and Adams occupied. Toxicology reports later showed that Burkeen had two prescription drugs, Va-lium and Klonopin, in his system at the time of the crash.

Burkeen pleaded guilty Aug. 27 after a marathon mediation session to amended charges

of second-degree manslaugh-ter, fi rst-degree assault and two counts of fi rst-degree wanton endangerment. He was initially charged with other offenses, in-cluding wanton murder and DUI, but opted for an amended plea instead of taking the case to trial.

The agreement carried a rec-ommended sentence of 10 years for the manslaughter and assault charges and fi ve years on each of the wanton endangerment counts to run concurrent for a total of 10

WASHINGTON — A defense contractor went on a shooting rampage Monday inside a build-ing at the heavily secured Wash-ington Navy Yard, spraying bullets in the hallways and fi ring from a

balcony onto workers in an atri-um below. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman.

Police said the gunman, 34-year-old Aaron Alexis of Tex-as, used a valid pass to get onto the base before launching the at-

tack, which unfolded about 8:20 a.m. in the heart of the nation’s

capital, less than four miles from the White House and two miles from the Capitol.

Alexis died after a running gun-battle inside the building with police, investigators said.

“This is a horrifi c tragedy,”

Mayor Vincent Gray said.Investigators said the motive

was a mystery. The mayor said there was no indication it was a ter-rorist attack, but he added that the

Graves County school offi cials reinforced the im-portance of the approved district tax levy increase for two overdue building improvements projects and to help ease the impact of federal cutbacks.

The Graves County school board voted to pass a tax increase of 6.9 cents from 37.5 cents to 44.4 cents on real property per $100 of property valu-

ation in August. The compen-sating rate for the 2013-2014 school year was 36.4 cents per $100 of assessed value. The district voted to maintain the compensating rate last year, according to school Superin-tendent Kim Harrison.

“I hope people can under-stand and support the tax and how it will serve the commu-nity and the education we can provide,” she said. “We’ve had $4.5 million in cuts the last

fi ve years but I’m so proud of the education of-fered in Graves County.”

Harrison said the district needed to approve the nickel-match increase this year, which al-lows the school to double its bonding potential of $9 million up to $27 million by January 2015.

Unparalleled peace of mind that 3-year-old son De-Markeese is in good hands is something Shakeitha Douglas wouldn’t trade for the world.

Suffering from severe asthma attacks, DeMarkeese was hospitalized for extend-ed periods in both Louisville and Nashville as the Paducah family sought treatment. But upon return to western Ken-tucky, the boy’s acute condi-tion and need for constant supervision kept him from routine daycare services.

“Usually the daycare peo-ple would call me at work to come rush him to the hospi-tal,” Douglas said at the Ethel Dubois Smith Development Center on Monday. “I don’t want to send him anywhere to where I’m having to ask is it safe. That’s why this place is such a blessing.”

As the fi rst enrollee of the Lily Pad program at Easter Seals West Kentucky, DeMar-keese was given the honor of cutting the ceremonial red ribbon at the child develop-ment center during a celebra-tion for the region’s fi rst pre-scribed pediatric extended care unit, one of only seven such centers in the state.

The Lily Pad is a weekday

child care program that pro-vides individualized care for medically fragile children under the watchful supervi-sion of trained medical staff. Currently, the Lily Pad has

fi ve enrollees, but the center can accommodate up to 48 children. Once operating at its full potential, the Lily Pad will have one registered nurse for every six children.

The Lily Pad project was more than two years in the making, with a four-month construction period that

The Sunday front page Paducah Sun article titled “Healthy choices, students,” read, “Adults working at the school pay $29 per month for breakfast and $47 per month for lunch.” To clarify, during the current school year in McCracken County schools, adults pay a total of $76 per month, compared to $56 for el-ementary school students and $62 for middle and high school students for both meals.

Athletic directors across the region are working to preserve the memory of Joey Fosko on football and basketball side-lines with designated honorary game nights and a scholarship fund in his name.

The 1st Region Athletic Di-rectors Association has estab-lished a Joey Fosko Memorial Scholarship college fund to be awarded yearly to one student in each high school’s senior class in the district. Fosko, a longtime sports writer for the Sun and regional high school sports expert, died June 17.

Each of the 15 schools will choose an upcom-ing football or basketball game to be named Joey Fosko Night. Ticket prices will be in-creased by

$1 for those games with the ad-ditional $1 going directly into the scholarship fund, according to Doug Gloyd, Graves County High School athletic director.

“Joey was pro-kids and would be proud to recognize

kids because that’s what it was all about for him,” he said.

The inaugural Joey Fosko Night will be the Graves County-Mayfi eld football game at 7 p.m. Friday at War Memorial Sta-dium in Mayfi eld. The price for adult tickets will increase from $6 to $7 for the game. Student ticket prices will remain the same at $3. The game between the Graves County Eagles and the Mayfi eld Cardinals was se-lected because of the historically high attendance, he said.

Gloyd said the group of ath-letic directors talked about hon-oring Fosko in a lasting way.

“With a moment of silence,

you have it and then it’s done,” he said. “We wanted to do some-thing with an ongoing impact, year after year because that’s the kind of impact Joey made.”

Mayfi eld High School athletic director and head football coach Joe Morris agreed, adding: “Joey meant a lot to high school athlet-ics around here and because it is a rivalry game there will be a good crowd. The whole commu-nity can come out and help with scholarships for the kids.”

He said the money raised during each game will go into the general athletic director’s

WICKLIFFE — Most Wick-liffe residents don’t know that Iron Shadows gym exists. The small, one-room lifting center is barely visible from the road, and is attached to a hair salon that boasts a bigger sign.

The men who go to work at Iron Shadows are equally as unassuming. Nathaniel Har-grove is affectionately known as “Big Nate” by friends, but works as an employee of the United States Enrichment Cor-poration. Jon Alderson works in Cairo, Ill., for Bunge, a food production company. Jesse Bumpus is a coal miner in Web-ster County.

When the men tell people they are nationally ranked lift-ers, no one believes them. That is, until they see the video proof.

Alderson heads to the North American Strongman Cham-pionships in a month. He goes into the two-day competition in Texas ranked fourth in the na-tion. He’s spent the past year preparing, dropping down to a lean and mean 175 pounds to be more competitive.

“I used to not know if I be-longed,” Alderson said. “I wasn’t sure of myself. A lot of people don’t know what I do. They think it’s just for gigantic guys. Now, where I am, I’ve lost 50 pounds in a year. My confi -dence is through the roof.”

Hargrove fi nished third in the nation at the champion-ships last year as a light heavy-weight. Four months later, while lifting lighter weights than he had in the NASC, his distal bicep tendon ripped free of the bone, an excruciatingly

painful injury that needed sur-gery. He is skipping nationals this year — although he will most likely accompany Alder-son to the competition — but is well on his way to being back at full strength.

“You’ve gotta have this mind-set that there’s nothing you can’t do,” Hargrove said. “You have to work through the pain. Not everyone can do this.”

Hargrove’s right. Not every-one can donate the time — the guys work out anywhere from two to fi ve hours, fi ve days a week — or the money it takes to be a strongman. Hargrove and

Alderson have built most of the Medieval-looking contrap-tions in Iron Shadows. Har-grove likes to say that they are too loud and too messy to work out at a normal gym, but nor-mal gyms also don’t boast the equipment that strongmen use.

The traditional bars with weight plates are plentiful, but next to those stations sit the oddities. There’s the iron Husafell stone, an almost tri-angular stone which weighs 200 pounds empty before add-ing weight to the inside. Next to that are 250-pound kegs of sand and the circus dumbbell,

which weighs 120 pounds by itself, but can also be added to with extra weight as well. The circus dumbbell is lifted above a strongman’s head one-hand-ed, completely extended.

The thought of strongman of-ten conjures visuals of fl ipping gigantic tires and pulling semi trucks. The men of Iron Shad-ows do that, but also bench press logs and lift gigantic atlas stones onto platforms that can be fi ve feet high. It takes a lot of time and patience to get on the same level as the Ballad County

Nathaniel Hargrove pushes for a rep during a training session at Iron Shadows gym in Wickliffe. Har-grove was at one point ranked third in the nation before tearing his distal bicep tendon in February.

A Metropolis man accused of scamming more than $76,000 from seven different people is behind bars after a McCracken County grand jury returned an indictment with a series of theft charges.

McCracken sheriff’s deputies arrested John R. Thompson, 47, on Monday on an indict-ment warrant charging him with seven counts of theft by deception.

Capt. Matt Carter said that, according to a months-long in-vestigation, Thompson invited people to join him in a busi-

ness venture that consist-ed of buying and resell-ing mobile homes. The fi rst individ-ual contacted the sheriff’s department in mid June claiming that

Thompson had owed him thou-sands of dollars for more than a year through the venture.

As detectives sought answers from Thompson about where the money was, Carter said that other individuals began coming

forward with nearly identical stories. Seven people claimed to have paid Thompson money between about June and Octo-ber of 2012 to join the venture but never saw returns on the investments, Carter said.

Thompson told detectives that he had documentation to back up all of the transactions with a third party. Carter said that de-tectives gave Thompson ample opportunities to produce that evidence but that he never did.

The case was taken to a grand jury on Friday and jurors re-turned an indictment with the seven theft charges, which in-cluded both C and D felonies.

“Anyone that is familiar with this individual, who had some type of business venture with him and is owed money, should contact the sheriff’s offi ce,” Carter said.

Law enforcement offi cials in southern Illinois are also in-vestigating similar incidents involving Thompson in their jurisdiction, Carter said.

Thompson remains in the McCracken County Regional Jail on a $80,000 bond.

all stars, but they’re com-mitted all the way.

“That’s where a lot of people quit,” Hargrove said. “A lot of people go two or three months, and they haven’t gotten to where we are, and they just walk away. It takes a long time to work up to this. Strength isn’t the only part of this, it’s a lot of technique.”

Bumpus is a powerlifter, which means he concen-trates on the big three lifts: a squat, a dead lift and a bench press. He is current-ly ranked fi rst in the nation at the 198 weight class, but ninth at the 220 weight class. He will head to Lex-ington to try and break into the top fi ve at 220 pounds around the same time Al-derson heads to Texas for nationals. The Webster County native drives just over 90 minutes to work out with his friends at Iron Shadows.

“That’s where the pas-sion clicks in,” Bumpus said. “There’s a solid year of conditioning that goes into this. There are a lot of tri-als and tribulations, but the passion trumps them all.”

There is limited glory that comes with winning the strongman champi-onships. Other lifters ad-mire you, and hold you up on a platform within the sport. There are medals and plaques, but a limited amount of cash winnings as compared to other strength competitions. But for the three men working at Iron Shadows day in and day out — and the handfuls of others who join them from time to time — there’s hon-or in winning.

“I know that I belong,” Alderson said. “And now, there’s no other option but winning.”

McCracken County Disas-ter and Emergency Services Director Paul Carter will ad-dress Fiscal Court commis-sioners tonight regarding dis-ciplinary action taken against him after a reported scuffl e with a tow truck driver.

Carter sent a grievance letter to Judge-Executive Van Newberry on Aug. 21 alleging the Court failed to properly follow the county’s policies and procedures or-

dinance when commission-ers voted 3-1 on Aug. 14 to order him a written repri-mand and fi ve days without pay stemming from the vid-eotaped incident.

The letter states that Carter plans to present at tonight’s grievance hearing evidence including state-ments from two other DES employees, the Paducah Police cruiser video footage that captured parts of the July 27 incident at the scene of a wreck along Interstate

24 and a copy of the repri-mand. The hearing is set for 5:30 p.m. at the McCracken County Courthouse.

County Attorney Mike Murphy said the hearing is a formality for county em-ployees that fi le grievances. He said the hearing is public and could result in commis-sioners voting to retract their initial decision but does not have to result in anything.

Carter’s letter asks for a remedy that includes remov-ing the written reprimand

from his fi le, restoration fund for the fi ve days of pay and reimbursement of any and all legal fees he incurred defending the grievance.

The letter also lists ele-ments of Carter’s employ-ment history with the de-partment and with the Paducah Police Department, where he worked previously, as well as various awards and achievements he earned during his tenures.

The video footage shows snippets of a reported alter-

cation between Carter and tow truck driver Anthony Hess. The pair is shown en-gaging in what appears to be a heated discussion near the driver’s side door of Hess’ truck along the side of the highway. The footage shows Hess shoving Carter, Carter returning and Hess pushing him again. Another vehicle parked between the cam-era angle and the tow truck blocks some of the other details but Carter is seen ad-vancing on Hess at one point.

Hess fi nally retreats down a hill and calls for offi cers to as-sist him. The entire incident lasts less than fi ve minutes, according to the recording.

Commissioners met in executive session twice be-fore voting on Carter’s pun-ishment. Newberry served as the one opposition vote.

Hearing tonight on wreck scuffle grievanceBY MALLORY [email protected]

An annual fair that provides students from around the region access to information about a variety of post-secondary options is set for today.

The Western Kentucky Regional College Expo is scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Paducah Tilghman High School gymnasium on Washing-ton Street. The free event will feature representa-tives from about 80 na-tionwide colleges, univer-sities, military branches, post-secondary education and career programs. The list of exhibitors includes two-year community col-

leges, state universities, Ivy League institutions, liberal art schools, art and design programs and mili-tary academies.

The expo, which be-gan more than 30 years ago, continues to draw colleges and universities from across the country, according to Casaundra Newsome, event organiz-er and Paducah Tilghman High School guidance counselor. She said the show has drawn between 500 to 600 students per year but hopes to see a larger turnout this year.

“There are not a lot of op-portunities of this magni-tude for local students,” she said. “It’s so valuable for stu-

dents to be able to ask spe-cifi c questions at one time.”

She said the fair provides a valuable opportunity for students in western Ken-tucky and southern Illinois to meet school and pro-gram recruiters and sched-ule campus tours or ask questions about admission procedures, fi nancial aid, scholarships and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) re-quirements and deadlines. Students from eighth grade to current seniors are in-vited to attend and pick up informational materials.

Newsome also encour-aged parents to participate in the fair along with stu-dents because the forum

allows such a unique per-sonal opportunity to ask questions. She said students should dress in professional attire and bring a pencil and paper. Attendees are also encouraged to bring their resume to help fi ll out any informational forms.

For more information about the Western Ken-tucky Regional College Expo, contact Casaundra Newsome at 270-444-5650 extension 5685 or at [email protected].

started in May.“This is a brand new

program that will serve a population in our region that has not had this ser-vice before, and it will have a signifi cant impact on the lives of these peo-ple,” said Danny Carroll, president and CEO of Eas-ter Seals West Kentucky.

The program not only provides medical care and daily supervision for en-rolled children, but also interventional therapies, and educational oppor-tunities for parents. Car-roll said Lily Pad staff will help parents learn how to better care for their child’s

unique conditions and provide resources to help support their family.

Mary Andrus, assistant vice president of govern-ment relations from the Easter Seals’ national of-fi ce, said the specialized program represents a bright future for the com-munity and Easter Seals West Kentucky.

“The new facility that we’re here today to celebrate is a unique unit that closes a very serious care gap for children in this area,” An-drus said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“This facility will offer the kind of support that can provide life-changing care, not just for the child,

but for the family that cares for that child every minute of every day.”

The ribbon-cutting cer-emony recognized nu-merous community and business donors, and pro-vided a tour of the newly completed facility for the dozens gathered in at-tendance. Mayor Gayle Kaler and Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce President Sandra Wilson spoke to the importance such a program will have on the families of medi-cally fragile children and the number of jobs cre-ated by the facility.

“The chamber is about making this a better com-munity to raise your fam-

ilies and to live and work, so this is just one more star in the list of things to-day for our community,” Wilson said.

Richie Farmer is still unforgettable — but for a different reason.

The former University of Kentucky basketball standout, one of “The Unforgettables,” was a rising star in the state Republican Party. His political career ended in disgrace Friday as he stood in U.S. District Court and pleaded guilty to two counts of misappropriating government property.

Farmer is headed to prison for up to 27 months and he will have to pay fines and restitution of up to $125,000; the details won’t be known until his sentencing in January. It could have been worse had he not accepted a plea agreement.

For repeatedly using government resources for personal enrichment, he was originally charged with five counts and faced sentences of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count.

The man who saw doors open for him wherever he went because of his skills on the court will in the future find doors closed because of his crimes. He is best known now for abusing the taxpayers’ trust.

Farmer’s conviction was a setback for the state Republican Party, just

as Kentucky was starting to show signs of becoming a two-party state. As a 42-year-old commissioner of agriculture, Farmer ran for lieutenant governor on the ticket with then-Senate President David Williams in 2011.

Williams, known for his ambition and bare-knuckle politics, was Gov. Steve

Beshear’s chief nemesis in Frankfort. Beshear easily defeated the GOP challenger in the general election, then adeptly removed him from the Legislature, buying him off with a circuit judgeship that would ensure Williams a far cushier retirement.

Neither Williams nor Farmer did the Republican Party any

favors. If the GOP doesn’t start vetting its candidates better and policing its ranks, it will be a long time before the state party reaches the level of influence Republicans have gained in other southern states.

Of course, the GOP’s best ally might be the Democratic Party. Democrats have had their share of scandals in all the years they controlled Frankfort; the party is right now absorbed in managing the crisis of sexual harassment allegations against state Rep. John Arnold and a possible cover-up by party leaders.

Farmer’s story is a cautionary tale, and not just for political parties. Farmer’s election to office was based on nothing more than his basketball fame, with no real credentials for public office.

It is a sad story. Farmer learned the hard way that fame is deceptive and power is seductive.

Richie Farmer is not the first person to ride athletic fame to political office, nor is he the first to be corrupted by that power. But his rapid rise and fall was head-spinning. Prospective candidates and political parties ignore the lesson to their peril.

Kentucky’s so-called “sig-nature industries,” bourbon and horses, are doing all right during these torpid economic times. With some political help they could be doing even better, creating more jobs, and producing more revenue for stressed state coffers.

Bourbon has boomed despite recession and tepid re-covery. Production is way up, retail sales topped $4.5 billion last year, and a half-million people visited state distilleries.

A Kentucky Distillers’ Asso-ciation-sponsored study last year showed that Kentucky’s bourbon business directly employed 3,100 people and contributed to 6,000 related jobs. Annual payroll approach-es a quarter billion dollars, and the industry contributes about $2 billion annually to gross state product.

More barrels of bourbon are aging in Kentucky than there are people and horses in the commonwealth. Bourbon (along with its inferior cousin Tennessee whiskey) is the big-gest export among American distilled spirits.

Eric Gregory, president of the KDA, says craft distilleries “are popping up everywhere.” This renaissance includes downtown Louisville, where new facilities in renovated buildings will complement the fl ourishing Urban Bourbon Trail of bars.

Central Kentucky’s rural dis-tilleries are some of the state’s most peaceful and picturesque places. The Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown this month is one of the state’s great events.

But about 60 percent of the cost of every bottle of bourbon goes to taxes or fees. There are seven different taxes on bour-bon, including a tax on barrels for each year one ages.

Kentucky’s U.S. Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, both Republicans, have introduced the Aged Distilled Spirits Competitiveness Act (S. 1457). GOP Rep. Andy Barr of Lexington and his colleagues

in the commonwealth’s con-gressional delegation have in-troduced a companion House measure (H.R. 2312).

The bill would let distillers deduct interest expenses on bourbon in the year incurred instead of making them wait until product aging is com-plete. This would level the playing fi eld for bourbon against other spirits and help it compete abroad.

A recent University of Kentucky study in conjunc-tion with the Kentucky Horse Council reported that Ken-tucky’s equine industry has an annual economic impact of $3 billion, including $1.78 billion in direct economic output. Racing’s share is estimated at $1.3 billion and breeding’s at $710 million.

The horse business produces 32,000 Kentucky jobs directly, and 8,000 more indirectly. It yields $134 million in tax revenue.

Keeneland’s September yearling sale has been quite successful. Several specimens have sold for more than a mil-lion dollars, including a $2.2 million fi lly and a $2.5 million colt.

Churchill Downs, Inc. recently set revenue and earnings records bolstered by its gaming activities in other states. But the company’s earnings from racing opera-tions increased $3.1 million over the same period last year primarily on the strength of $5.8 million from Kentucky Derby week.

The Louisville racetrack is expanding, and its fi rst-ever separate September meet started strong with stakes rac-es for two-year-old Derby and

Oaks hopefuls. The session’s daily purses average $400,000 in an economically risky at-tempt to keep quality horses, trainers, and star-power jock-eys like Rosie Napravnik in the state year round.

The Kentucky Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments in a case challeng-ing instant racing games that let people wager on old races via a slot-like video screen. Instant racing’s fi nancial results were underwhelming at Henderson’s Ellis Park’s summer meet, but are helping Franklin’s Kentucky Downs offer hefty purses in its short, all-turf September running.

In 2007, candidate Steve Beshear promised expanded gambling. Six years later, Gov. Steve Beshear still has not produced. He says that Kentucky could soon fi nd itself the former horse capital of the world if we do not support purses and breeding incentives with proceeds from liberalized gaming.

Beshear can no longer blame his failure on David Williams, the Republican whom he beat in 2011 and then appointed to a judgeship to get him out of the Senate president post. That excuse was always fl imsy, especially after Democratic supporters did not even get all their members present to vote on a pro-casino constitutional amendment last year.

Divisions within the horse industry reportedly derailed another effort earlier this year. Some racetracks apparently want either a guaranteed gam-ing license, an area monopoly or both. Beshear is running out of time, and fulfi lling his pledge will take more leader-ship skill than he has shown so far.

Moderation is appropriate in drinking and gambling. Keep-ing Kentucky’s vital bourbon and horse industries growing and prosperous will require extreme effort.

John David Dyche is a Lou-isville attorney and political commentator for WDRB.com.

This year began with women holding commanding leads in races to become the next mayor of America’s two largest cit-ies, New York and Los Angeles.

It was “hers to lose,” the chattering class said of Wendy Greuel, former LA city controller and president pro tem of the Los Angeles City Council.

It was “hers to lose,” the chattering class said of Christine Quinn, speaker of the New York City Council.

And then they both lost.No one is saying that they lost “be-

cause” of their gender.But the reality that these two women

— both experienced and talented enough to be leading in early polls — both lost decisively, that neither city has ever had a woman mayor, and that of America’s 10 largest cities, only Houston has a woman mayor raises hard questions about the glass ceiling that still exists in politics (and in corporate America when top ex-ecutive positions are at issue).

This much is clear: Being female didn’t help either Quinn or Greuel. There was no gender gap in New York. African

Americans tend to vote for credible African-American candidates; Jews for Jewish candidates. Ethnic groups overwhelmingly support their own. But women?

In fairness, neither Greuel nor Quinn made “gender” the focus of their cam-paigns — at least not until the closing days when they were losing and the ap-peal to “make history” was a Hail Mary pass that didn’t connect. In Los Angeles, some criticized Greuel for not focusing on “making history” earlier on, although I can promise you that if she had, she would have been criticized for running on her gender and not on her record. Ditto for Quinn.

And so it goes.Quinn, according to press reports and

accounts from friends and colleagues, was resistant to advice to “soften” her tough image, although that didn’t stop vot-ers from describing her to pollsters and reporters as being too “ambitious” and

“bossy” and even just “too masculine.” Many of her own supporters worried that she didn’t dress well enough. On the other hand, for decades, women thinner than Quinn and better dressed have faced the familiar criticism that they aren’t tough enough or assertive enough and that they are too femi-

nine. Those who study (or struggle as) women in corporate America are all too familiar with this particular vise: how to be feminine but not too girly, assertive but not too aggressive, in charge but not too “bossy.” As Gloria Steinem put it, “If you’re tough enough to run New York City, you’re too tough to be considered acceptably feminine.”

Something needs to change.Both Greuel and Quinn emphasized, in

losing, that they hoped their candidacies would at least send a message to young girls that they could dream of holding high offi ce. “This may not be the outcome

you wanted, but there’s a young girl out there who was inspired by the thought of New York’s fi rst woman mayor,” Quinn said in her concession speech.

That was a great thought back in 1984, when young girls could — we hoped — take from Geraldine Ferraro’s historic run the thought that someday a woman might be vice president. But the young girls of 1984 are now grown women, and what’s so troubling is not how much has changed, but how little.

I know many women are insulted by the idea that they should vote for a candidate because she is a woman. Not me. If it’s considered perfectly acceptable, under-standable and appropriate for Italians to support Italians and Jews to support Jews and Hispanics to support Hispan-ics, what is so wrong, so unacceptable, so inappropriate about women supporting other women?

No, we’re not a discrete and insular minority. We’re a majority — but only in numbers, not in power. And the only way we will get more power is by supporting one another.

possibility had not been ruled out.

For much of the day, authorities said they were looking for a pos-sible second attacker who may have been disguised in an olive-drab military-style uniform. But by late Monday night, they said they were convinced the attack was the work of a lone gunman, and the se-curity lockdown around the area was eased.

“We do now feel com-fortable that we have the single and sole person responsible for the loss of life inside the base to-day,” Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier said.

It was the deadliest shooting at a military in-stallation in the U.S. since Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 in 2009 at Fort Hood in Texas. He was convicted last month and sentenced to death.

President Barack Obama lamented yet an-other mass shooting in the U.S. that he said took the lives of American “pa-triots.” He promised to make sure “whoever car-ried out this cowardly act is held responsible.”

The FBI took charge of the investigation.

At the time of the ram-page, Alexis was an infor-mation technology em-ployee with a company that was a Defense De-partment subcontractor, authorities said. Valerie Parlave, head of the FBI’s fi eld offi ce in Washing-ton, said he had access to the base as a defense con-tractor.

The dead ranged in age from 46 to 73, according to the mayor. A num-ber of the victims were civilian employees and

contractors, rather than active-duty military per-sonnel, the police chief said.

Alexis had been a full-time Navy reservist from 2007 to early 2011, leav-ing as a petty offi cer third class, the Navy said. It did not say why he left. He had been an aviation elec-trician’s mate with a unit in Fort Worth, Texas.

A convert to Bud-dhism who grew up in New York City, Alexis had had run-ins with the law over shooting incidents in 2004 and 2010 in Fort Worth and Seattle and was portrayed in police reports as seething with anger.

Witnesses on Mon-day described a gun-man opening fi re from a fourth-fl oor overlook, aiming down on people on the main fl oor, which includes a glass-walled cafeteria. Others said a gunman fi red at them in a third-fl oor hallway.

Patricia Ward, a logis-tics-management special-ist, said she was in the caf-eteria getting breakfast.

“It was three gunshots straight in a row — pop, pop, pop. Three seconds later, it was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, so it was like about a total of seven gun-shots, and we just started running,” Ward said.

In addition to those killed, eight people were hurt — three of them shot and wounded, accord-ing to the mayor. Those wounded were a police offi cer and two female civilians, authorities said. They were all expected to survive.

The FBI would not give any details on the gunman’s weaponry, but witnesses said the man they saw had a long gun — which can mean a rifl e or a shotgun.

tal improvements in the district. School districts statewide are required to set aside $100 per student for capital proj-ects and 5 cents of real and tangible property tax revenues as match-ing funds for improve-ments through Facili-ties Support Program of Kentucky (FSPK) dollars, according to R.B. Mays, Graves County Schools fi nance director.

Graves County has two primary overdue in-frastructure repairs ac-cording to the district construction priorities: the replacement of the heating/ventilation and air conditioning system in Graves County High School and the renova-tion or replacement of the 60-year-old Lowes Elementary School, cur-rently without air condi-tioning in the hallways or gymnasium. In total, both projects will cost the district about $20 mil-lion, according to Har-rison.

Harrison said $4.5 million in reductions of federal funding to school textbook, transportation, tutoring, technology, family resource center and safe school programs over the past fi ve years also contributed to the increased tax levy. She said the average taxpayer will pay an additional 11 cents per day, $3.22 per month or $38.64 per year. For each $100,000 of property valuation the tax levy will increase by $69 but Harrison said that number won’t apply to much of the county’s population whose prop-erty is valued at less than

$100,000.“Graves County has a

history of doing it well despite the cutbacks,” she said. “We have ex-ceeded academic expec-tations with two blue rib-bon schools (Sedalia and Farmington elementary schools) and our focus is on providing a quality educational environment to kids in Graves.”

She said the district has worked to spend conser-vatively, which is seen in the comparison between the Graves County tax rate and others around the region. According to Harrison, last year’s rate was the ninth lowest of 173 districts statewide and with the increase to 44.4 cents, the district will remain the second lowest in the Jackson Purchase area and within the lowest 20 percent in the state.

Because the school board approved an in-crease of 18 percent, which is more than the maximum 4 percent rate without a vote, the rates are subject to a public re-call. For the decision to be recalled and a special public election to be held, 10 percent of registered voters who participated in the last election or about 1,215 Graves County resi-dents, would be required to sign a petition within 45 days. The 2013-2014 tax rates were approved by the board at the Aug. 22 public hearing so the deadline for a recall peti-tion would be Oct. 6, ac-cording to Harrison.

SHOOTINGCONTINUED FROM 1A

WASHINGTON — Presi-dent Barack Obama on Monday wearily bemoaned “yet another mass shoot-ing,” this time in the na-tion’s capital where the debate that raged earlier this year over tightening fi rearms laws has gone cold amid opposition from gun-rights advocates.

The shooting at the Washington Navy Yard came a week after vot-ers recalled two Colorado legislators who supported tougher gun measures, il-lustrating the strong po-litical headwinds faced by lawmakers seeking to re-spond to the violence.

Obama, for one, has been powerless to get legislation passed despite a string of mass shootings during his presidency.

In the wake of the shoot-ing at the Navy Yard, Obama spokesman Jay Carney said the president is implementing executive actions and reiterated his commitment to strength-ening gun laws, including expanding background checks to sales online and at gun shows.

“The president supports, as do an overwhelming

majority of Americans, common-sense measures to reduce gun violence,” Carney said.

Even as it was unfolding, the Washington shooting was reigniting talk about guns. Sen. Dianne Fein-stein, a leading advocate of gun control legislation, mourned “the litany of massacres” the country has suffered in the form of mass shootings.

“When will enough be

enough?” Feinstein asked. “Congress must stop shirk-ing its responsibility and re-sume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life.”

But it was far from cer-tain whether the shooting would actually infl uence the larger debate over gun control vs. gun rights, giv-en that the already diffi cult politics of the issue have gotten only tougher since

December’s shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School. That shooting, which killed 20 fi rst-graders and six staff-ers, spurred Obama to pro-pose stricter fi rearms laws to prevent future deaths.

NEW YORK — Life is good for America’s super wealthy.

Forbes on Monday re-leased its annual list of the top 400 richest Ameri-cans. While most of the top names and rankings didn’t change from a year ago, the majority of the elite club’s members saw their fortunes grow over the past year, helped by strong stock and real estate markets.

“Basically, the mega rich are mega richer,” said Forbes Senior Editor Kerry Dolan.

Dolan noted that list’s minimum net income in-creased to a pre-fi nancial crisis level of $1.3 billion, up from $1.1 billion in 2012, with 61 American billion-aires not making the cut.

“In some ways, it’s harder to get on the list than it ever has been,” she said.

Microsoft Corp. co-found-er Bill Gates remains Amer-ica’s richest man, taking the top spot on the list for the 20th straight year, with a net worth of $72 billion, up from $66 billion a year ago.

Investor Warren Buf-fett, the head of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., posted an-other distant second place fi nish with $58.5 billion, but increased his net worth from $46 billion. Oracle Corp. co-founder Larry Ellison stayed third with $41 billion and was the only member of the top 10 whose net worth was un-changed from a year ago.

Brothers Charles and David Koch, co-owners of Koch Industries Inc., stay

tied for fourth with $36 bil-lion each, up from $31 bil-lion in 2012.

Wal-Mart heirs Christy Walton, Jim Walton, Alice Walton and S. Robson Wal-ton took the next four spots, with holdings ranging from $33.3 billion to $35.4 bil-lion, all increasing from

year-ago levels. New York City Mayor Michael Bloom-berg, the founder of the eponymous fi nancial infor-mation company, rounds out the top 10 with $31 bil-lion, up from $25 billion.

According to Forbes, 273 members of the list are self-made billionaires, while 71

inherited their wealth and another 56 inherited at least some of it but are still grow-ing it.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg returned to the list’s top 20 after dropping out the year before. His net worth of $19 billion earned him the No. 20 spot.

Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz also made the list, at No. 85,with a net worth of $5.2 billion. At age 29 and just a few days younger the Zuckerberg, Moskovitz ranks as the youngest member of the list.

On the fl ip side, the old-est person on the list is 98-year-old David Rock-efeller Sr. at No. 193 with a net worth of $2.8 billion.

A total of 20 new people joined the rankings, in-cluding Richard Yuengling

Jr. of Pennsylvania beer maker D.G. Yuengling & Son, who ranked at No. 371 with $1.4 billion.

Twenty-eight people dropped off the list, including six who died. Those now fall-ing short of the cut include energy tycoon T. Boone Pick-ens at $950 million, Graham Weston of Rackspace Host-ing Inc. at $920 million and Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder at $1.2 billion.

A total of 48 women made the list including Hyatt Hotels heir Jen-nifer Pritzker at No. 327. Formerly known as James Pritzker, she’s the list’s fi rst transgendered member.

According to Forbes, the 400 people on the annual list posted a combined net worth of $2 trillion, up from $1.7 trillion a year ago.

years. Foust delivered the recommended sentence Monday. He said that pro-bation would not suffi ce as adequate punishment for the crime. The sentence car-ries an 85 percent serve re-quirement, which would re-quire Burkeen to be behind bars for eight and a half years before he is eligible for parole. He will also receive credit for time served.

Members of Lovett’s family and the families of the other passengers cried and hugged in the hallway outside the courtroom af-ter the hearing but declined any public comments.

Members of some of Bur-keen’s family also left the courtroom with tears in their eyes. Burkeen’s moth-er, Judy Blades, said that she hates what happened to all of the passengers in the vehicle that night, es-pecially Lovett, and feels for them and their families. She said that she prayed for all of them and wishes Lovett had survived.

“I pray for the Lovetts every day,” Blades said. “I hate it, I hate that she died. Every day I prayed for her.”

Blades also said that her son is remorseful and that she hopes the families and surviving passengers can forgive him.

Burkeen was initially set to go to trial on Sept. 27 in Calloway County. Foust had agreed on a venue

change to either Calloway or Trigg county upon the request of both prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Father of the Constitution James Madison was a smart student of government and a great statesman. He was a friend of Thomas Jefferson. Madison was only 36 when the Constitution was written. He influenced what went on at the Constitutional Convention more than any other delegate. He wrote a plan for the new government, the Virginia Plan. Many of his ideas were adopted. He also took many notes and wrote up detailed reports. His records are our best sources of what went on. These were

not published until after his death. Madison worked hard for

ratification. He later served as a Virginia congressman and proposed the first 10 amendments (the Bill of Rights). After serving as secretary of state

under Thomas Jefferson, he was elected as our fourth president. He lived longer than any other signer. He died at the age of 85 in 1836.

Big Ideas in Government Inside the Constitution are several big ideas:

Separation of powers: The delegates feared that giving too much power to any person or group could be dangerous. So they created three branches, or parts, of government: executive, legislative and judicial.

Checks and balances: This idea limits the power of each government branch. No single branch can

branch needs the help of the others to do its job.

Enumerateded) powers: the listed powers of government.

Implied powers: the powers that are not listed but suggested.

Federalism: the idea that our government divides powers between the national government and the state governments.

The Constitution includes:preamble (an introduction)

articles (sections), covering:Article I: The Congress

(legislative branch).

Article II: The president

branch).

Article III: The judges and national courts (judicial branch).

Article IV: How states relate to each other and the national government.

“What’s the matter, Woody? Why did you stop singing?”

“I’m sorry, Chloe,” I said, trying not to let my sister see my tears. “I’m just scared – and I miss Mom and Dad.”

“I understand, but it’s going to be OK. Mom says that if we’re ever worried, sing-ing helps. Besides, I’m sure Mom and Dad know exactly what truck we’re in. And Mr. Grover knows the truck driver and where he’s going. I bet Mr. G has called him al-ready. And best of all, remember when

Mom and Dad took us to Doc Albert and we had chips put in our back?”

“Yeah, I thought Doc Albert was putting potato chips in my back,” I said, giggling, thankful Chloe had made me feel better.

“Doc Albert said the chips would tell Mom and Dad exactly where we were if we ever get lost,” Chloe said. “So we aren’t re-ally lost – just separated at the moment. At least you have your backpack.”

“You’re right!” I said, perking up. I al-ways liked to take my backpack when we went somewhere. I never knew when I might need important things such as my “Work and Dream Like a Big Dog” jacket, my toothbrush, my sock monkey, my pad-

dleball and my harmon-ica – anything I could ever need in an emer-gency. To pass the time, I played harmonica while Chloe sang. We played every song we knew – Camptown Races, She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain, Old MacDon-ald, Paw Paw Patch, Oh My Darling Clementine, and Oh! Susanna – with Chloe’s soprano voice ringing through the trail-er. Finally, in the fourth verse of John Jacob Jin-gleheimer Schmidt, the truck came to a stop.

You can imagine the driver’s surprise when he opened the trailer of the

semi and found Chloe and me. “Glory be!” said the trucker, who had a

very Southern accent. “I thought I heard lots of screeching and carrying on in the back. I fi gured I had a problem so I pulled in the fi rst rest area I approached. I never dreamed I’d fi nd you two cuties. I’m Tom. Who are you? And how’d you get in the back of my rig?”

“I’m Chloe and this is my brother, Woody. We were at Grover’s Supermarket with our Mom and Dad. Mr. Grover told us to look around his storeroom while he went to the front of the store.”

“And that’s when we smelled something really delicious and decided to check it out,” I interjected. “By the way, you said you heard screeching. Chloe and I never heard a thing. Of course it might have been because we were too busy singing and playing harmonica.”

“Oh,” Tom said, chuckling and look-ing as if he had just learned something. “Well, you were right about one thing, you did smell something mighty scrumptious. I had picked up a load of meat from the packing plant and had taken it to Grover’s. After I unloaded, I hopped back in to head to another packing plant. Sure glad I heard screeching and pulled over.”

“We’re glad too! What’s a packing plant?” I asked.

“It’s where farmers take their livestock to be slaughtered,” Tom said.

“Mr. Tom, I don’t want to interrupt, but what is livestock?” I asked.

“You don’t live on a farm, do you Woody?” Mr. Tom said before he contin-

ued. “Livestock are animals used for three things: food (eggs, steak, bacon), fi ber (material) and labor (more so in the past when farmers used mules or horses to plow a fi eld). Like I was saying, the farmer sends the livestock to the packing plant where it’s slaughtered. The meatpackers process the meat – or get it ready for humans to eat it. Then they package it. Finally, I take the packaged meat to supermarkets, like Grover’s.”

“I guess that’s why Mr. G said he couldn’t take all the credit,” I said.

“You mean you thought Mr. Grover was responsible for preparing all the food?” Mr. Tom asked.

“Kind of,” I said, looking at Chloe.“Oh, no, buddy. It’s a collective effort of

the farmer, the trucker, the meatpackers, the distributors; the list goes on and on.”

“Wow! I can’t wait to tell Mom and Dad what we’ve learned,” Chloe said

“Me either! Speaking of Mom and Dad, are you ready to take us back?” I asked Mr. Tom.

“Well little fellow, I hate to tell you this, but that’s impossible.”

Price monitorThe Labor Department reports its latest data on U.S. consumer prices today.

Economists anticipate that the consumer price index ticked up 0.2 percent in August, the same rate of growth as in the previous month. While gas prices have been rising recently, overall inflation remains mild. The trend could make it easier for the Fed to start pulling back on its low-interest-rate policies.

Builder confidenceU.S. homebuilders’ confidence in the housing market has improved steadily as sales of new homes have increased this year.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index hit 59 last month, the high-est in nearly eight years. The latest builder confi-dence index is due out today. Economists will be watching to see if rising mortgage rates are dampening builders’ optimism.

Shrinking profit?Wall Street expects Adobe Systems’ profit shrank from a year ago in its fiscal third quarter.

The company, which makes popular software like Adobe Reader and Photoshop, is due to release its latest quarterly report card today. Adobe has been shifting its business to a subscription format, which has helped boost revenue. At the same time, its costs have grown. In July, it closed on its $600 million acquisition of French marketing technology company Neolane. Source: FactSet

A smoother ride Mutual funds invest in the stocks of mining companies as well as the metal itself.

The summer runup was impressive, but gold is down significantly year to date.

Don’t call it a comeback. Although gold enjoyed an impressive summer revival, its momentum has shifted.

The precious metal has slumped 7 percent since hitting a recent peak of $1,420 an ounce on August 27. That’s after it had climbed up from $1,212, its lowest level in almost three years, on June 27.

One of the reasons investors buy gold is that it offers an alternative to more traditional financial assets. When financial markets get jittery, investors often buy gold because it is considered one of the safest assets that can easily be converted to cash.

Gold surged in August as investors grew concerned

about when and by how much the Federal Reserve will pare back its bond-buying stimulus program, a major driver behind the

market’s rally. Strife in Egypt and Syria also reminded investors that it’s a

dangerous world: wars can spread and oil prices can spike, hurting

economies and stock markets. As the likelihood of an immediate

U.S. military strike on Syria diminished, investors moved their money out of gold. Gold prices already largely reflect what investors expect from the Federal Reserve at its meeting next week, but any surprising statements could certainly jolt gold prices once again.
