Angie Allen is not one of thepeople who buys Girl ScoutCookies and saves them in herfreezer.

“Oh no, I can’t hold ontothem all year,” she said.

Cookie sales begin today, andthat can’t come soon enough forsome people, according to Allen,the Girl Scouts service unit man-ager for Meade County.

“They start looking for cook-ies in August,” she said.

Meade County’s favoritecookie is chocolate-and-coconutSamoas, she said, breaking the

national trend to favor ThinMints.

“I have orders for Samoas bythe cases,” Allen said (thoughher personal favorite isTagalongs, the peanut butterpatties).

Besides the aforementionedSamoas, Thin Mints andTagalongs, local Girl Scouts willbe offering old-fashioned short-bread Trefoils, peanut-buttercrème Do-si-dos, shortbread-and-fudge All Abouts, gourmet-style Café Cookies, and newsugar-free Little Brownies. Allare made without artery-clog-ging trans fats for the first time,

Allen said. Boxes again cost$3.50.

“This is the best time of yearfor the girls,” she said. “My girlstry to learn the business sense ofit.”

For each box, local Girl Scouttroops get 55 cents, she said.

“A lot of them use theirmoney to fund their whole

year,” Allen said. “The girlsactually get to plan what theydo with their profits.”

Girl Scouts sold about 32,400boxes of cookies, she said, mean-ing 17 local troops earned$17,820.

‘Warrior’ killed in actionBY CHARLES L. WESTMORELAND

Army Maj. Michael Lewis Mundellof Brandenburg was offered adminis-trative jobs when he was sent to servein Iraq, but he turned those down, say-ing he wanted a role that would makea difference, friends and family said.

“He said, ‘I’m not going to go overthere and push paper,’” said his wifeof 21 years, Audrey Mundell, 41. “Hewould say, ‘That’s not what I wastrained to do.’”

Being a soldier is what her husbandwas “born to do,” she said, but in herhusband’s final letter home he wrotehe was looking for improvised explo-sive devices “all the time.”

Michael Mundell was supposed tobe on light duty after being injured by

sniper fire shortly after Thanksgiving,but Audrey Mundell said her husbandrefused to leave the action.

The U.S. Army Reserve officer fromMeade County waskilled last week in aroadside bombexplosion while serv-ing in Iraq.

Michael Mundell,47, was killed Jan. 5in Fallujah, Iraq,while serving withthe 108th Divisionbased out ofCharlotte, N.C. Hewas training the Iraqi army and help-ing find improvised explosive devices.

Michael Mundell, an 11-year Armyveteran, left the service in 1992 when

the Army downsized following theGulf War but was pulled from theInactive Ready Reserve in November2005.

Michael Mundell, who was trainedas an Armor officer at Fort Knox andthen returned to the base as an armorinstructor, had dreamed of being atanker since childhood, AudreyMundell said. Along with his love fortanks, Mundell also was a U.S. historyand Civil War enthusiast.

Tom Wilson, Michael Mundell’sclose friend and fellow trainer at FortKnox, used a Civil War adage todescribe his departed friend.

“Thinking back to the Civil Warand the saying, ‘Go to the sounds ofthe guns,’ that’s what Mike did,” hesaid. “He wanted to be in a role that

would make a difference. He had thekind of qualities someone would needto build the Iraqi army. He wasn’t acareer soldier, in that he didn’t do a 20-or 30-year career, but he was a warriorall his life.”

Wilson said Michael Mundell’s roleat Fort Knox was to train soldierswhile helping to design the Army ofthe future.

Audrey Mundell said her husbandwas a family man as much as he was asoldier. She said one of the things shewould miss most is the way her husbandacted around their four children: Erica,17, Ryan, 14, Zachary, 13, and Dale, 11.

“He was a good dad,” she said.

County officials took steps to assume controlof Meade County Solid Waste by dissolving thedepartment’s board of directors this week.

Fiscal Court held a special session Wednesdayto consider an ordinance that will dissolve the 109Board, Solid Waste’s board of directors, and placeexecutive control back in the hands of magistrates.

Judge/Executive Harry Craycroft said thedecision to dissolve the 109 Board was notbecause any board members were at fault forSolid Waste’s monetary problems.

“In doing this, we are not placing blame onanyone,” he said. “The present board has … triedto straighten some things out. My hat is off and Icommend them for that. They are working hard.”

Fiscal Court voted 5-0 to dissolve the 109Board, with Magistrates Mark Hubbard andSteve Wardrip abstaining. Hubbard said heabstained because of his seat on the 109 Boardprior to taking office and Wardrip said heabstained because his brother, Bim Wardrip, ischairman of the 109 Board.

Craycroft said the decision was a “culmination ofthings” that have happened over the past months.

Solid Waste was facing bankruptcy inNovember and had to borrow $250,000 fromFiscal Court to continue operating. 109 Boardmembers had hoped to find a suitable contractorto begin trash collection by April 1, at whichtime Solid Waste will re-enter the red. SolidWaste costs about $131,000 monthly to operatewhile only collecting $80,000. Solid Waste is indebt to Fiscal Court $270,000 total, and owesanother $390,000 in long-term loans.

Before a contractor can be selected, however,the county must re-draft a new five-year plan.The current plan only allows for the county topick up trash. Craycroft said during a previousinterview he hoped to wait until October to re-draft the five-year plan, at which time all stateSolid Waste departments must submit new five-year plans for 2008-2013.

The ordinance’s second reading will be dur-ing a Jan. 24 special meeting, after which the 109Board will cease to exist. Craycroft said FiscalCourt will hold a work session near the begin-ning of February to discuss creating a new advi-sory board and necessary action to keep Solid

MULDRAUGH —Sewerage rates for Muldraughresidents could end up costingresidents more this summerunless faulty pipes are fixedbefore the increase takes effect,city officials said.

Fort Knox, which currentlyprovides water and water treat-ment to Muldraugh, awardedits sewerage treatment contractto Hardin County Water, whichwill take over in July. Fort Knoxcurrently charges a seweragetreatment rate of 80 percent ofthe water purchased, but whenHardin County Water takesover, Muldraugh will becharged for all the water flow-ing through Muldraugh’s sewerpipes to the treatment plant.

The rate for sewage treat-ment actually will drop from$2.16 to $1.39 per 1,000 gallonstreated, said Jim Bruce, generalmanager of Hardin CountyWater District 1. But becausesewage will now be metered byHardin County Water, residentscould be paying more duringmonths with heavy rain.

Bruce said during a monthwith heavy rain, such as lastAugust, Muldraugh’s sewagetreatment increases by 1,000percent because of rainwaterleaking into the seweragepipes that go into Fort Knox’streatment plant.

Now a fixed rate is appliedregardless of the amount ofsewage treated. Beginning thissummer, Muldraugh will haveto pay for the increase.

“We see Muldraugh as onecustomer, and the city will setthe billing rate for their ownresidences,” he said.

MULDRAUGH — Local policewill start cracking down on minorsviolating the city’s curfew ordi-nance and obstructing roadways.

Muldraugh Police Chief BillWood told the Muldraugh CityCouncil on Monday that minorswho are caught violating the city’s11 p.m. curfew would be taken tothe police station.

“When we pick them up aftercurfew, they’ll be brought in, par-ents will be brought in and chargeswill be filed,” he said. “They maystill try to sneak around and by-pass us — kids are going to be kids

— but we’re going to try to keepthat under wraps.”

According to city ordinance,children ages 13-17 cannot be inpublic places after 11 p.m. duringany day of the week. The curfew is10 p.m. for children under 13.

The ordinance states the onlyexceptions are if the child is withan adult or guardian, under thewatch of a specified adult, runningan errand for a parent or guardian,or participating in or returningfrom a job, entertainment, religiousor social event.

The ordinance further states anyofficer can question a minor sus-pected of violating the ordinance.

City Councilman Ralph Lee said

his son saw a minor trying to breakinto a garage earlier this month andhis son had to run the child off. Leesaid some minors would have tolearn the hard way that laws arenon-negotiable.

“We might have to explain to(kids) and get it in their heads thatthe law is the law and everybodyhas to abide by them, even if theyare a child,” he said. “It keeps themischief down in town, too. A lotof kids are sneaking around town.”

Wood said another problem isminors neglecting to use sidewalksand instead obstructing roadways

Kill alternate minimum tax

EDITORIAL

Sheriff Butch Kerrick isn’t wasting any time makingchanges at the Sheriff’s Department. Many new officialswould have walked into their departments, seen how

things worked for a little while and then started slowly integrat-ing changes. Such a cautious approach certainly would haveseemed appropriate for Kerrick, who hardly swept into office ona mandate for change — he won the office by a single vote.

But Kerrick has taken a different tack, forging headlong intohis changes in the department. He has removed the position ofchief deputy, adding one more law-enforcement officer to the streets.Deputies are required to show up everyMonday for a briefing. There is a deputyworking 24 hours a day, seven days aweek. Kerrick’s office also has been issu-ing numerous press releases, making thedepartment's activities more visible.

He has many more ideas that he has yetto implement — but he has come outpublicly with them so that the public canmake sure he does.

We want to commend Kerrick for theway he is going about his business. It is too early to say whetherhis reforms will be successful or were even needed. That’s notthe point. None of the moves he has made cannot be revised if abetter strategy comes along.

What’s important is that the courthouse needs an infusion ofaction.

The Fiscal Court already is showing signs of paralysis byanalysis. Magistrates decided to hold off on making a decisionon what to do about the county’s financially-strapped SolidWaste Department until they have time to look into the matter.What is there to look into — the issue has been well-publicizedfor nearly three months and been ongoing for nearly two years.

Can the magistrates really say they aren’t aware that SolidWaste loses about $51,000 each month because collections don’tequal expenditures? Do they not see that the more time FiscalCourt wastes, the closer the Solid Waste Department movestoward going back into the red? Life didn’t begin at the swear-ing-in ceremony, after all. What more do they expect to learn?

Magistrates could take a page from Kerrick’s book and showthat they weren’t living under a rock before they took office.Voters cast their ballots expecting candidates to know the impor-tant issues in the county — including that Solid Waste neededto be revamped and corrected.

Kerrick is showing that he had a plan and isn’t waiting aroundto investigate potential solutions to problems that he saw. True,former Sheriff Cliff Wise certainly left the Sheriff’s Departmentin better shape than the Solid Waste Department is in. But strongleaders plan early, move swiftly and act decisively.

The members of the Fiscal Court should follow that example.

Kentucky’s alternative minimumcalculation tax or “AMC tax” has beenthe subject of quite a bit of scrutiny inthe past few months. Most recentlyHouse Minority Leader Jeff Hoover(R-Jamestown) has pre-filed a bill forthe 2007 session to eliminate it, citingthe burden to Kentucky small busi-nesses.

I have always been philosophical-ly opposed to any new taxes leviedwithout good cause. As a state repre-sentative, I legislated with the notionthat taxes should only be levied as alast resort for funding, and it isincumbent upon public officials to doadequate research, budget analysisand option-generation prior to mak-ing any decision regarding taxincreases.

In that regard, I believe that theproposed elimination of theKentucky AMC tax, if passed, shouldbe accompanied with a disclaimer orexplanation on why it was repealed— inadequate research prior toimplementation.

Under Kentucky’s TaxModernization Act of 2004, the AMCtax was levied with good intent: tobetter distribute tax responsibilityevenly and prevent someKentuckians from avoiding taxesthrough shelters and loopholes.

As I explain it to my constituents,“The purpose of the tax was to pre-vent the wealthy, individual or cor-porate from paying little-to-no taxesdue to loopholes or tax shelters, thusburdening the middle class to paythe lion’s share for public services.”Good intent.

I continue, “The tax provedunsuccessful, though, for a numberof reasons, primarily because the taxwas implemented without full con-sideration being given to Kentucky’s‘economic make-up’ and withoutconsidering the lessons learned byother states.” Inadequate research.

Under AMC guidelines calculatedfrom gross receipts and regardless ofthe size of the company or the profits

earned during the year, taxes arepaid — period. That is how the AMCworks — nobody can escape theirresponsibility to contribute for publicservices.

However, as Aaron Morris withthe Bluegrass Institute for PublicPolicy Solutions explains it,“Kentucky’s Alternative MinimumCalculation (AMC) taxes businesseswithout regard to their profitability,”which of course is a dangerous posi-tion to put Kentucky’s economy in,considering more than 88 percent ofKentucky’s “economic make-up”consists of personally-owned orsmall business.

The AMC tax is not new. At thefederal level, the first version of theAMC tax was levied in 1969 on indi-vidual income. Since then, it hasgone through several iterations andchanges, and in 1986 Congressapproved the creation of a corporateAMC tax. Many states adopted a ver-sion of the AMC for their state taxsystems too — few with a great dealof success, though, most notablyMichigan.

In the case of Michigan, which hashad a version of the AMC for severalyears, the tax has negatively impact-ed its current, and potentially future,economic situation.

Presently, few argue that the taxhas contributed to Michigan’s highunemployment rate as companiesreduce payroll to compensate for thetax burden. At more than 7 percent,

Michigan ranks second in the nationin unemployment. With Kentucky justmore than 6 percent and currentlyranked fifth in the nation, the AMCwould likely (and unfortunately) exac-erbate our unemployment problem.

At a minimum it is reasonable toassume that salaries would be low-ered to compensate for the tax bur-den. With the commonwealth’s medi-an household income less than$40,000, this is simply unacceptable.

The AMC tax has inadvertentlystifled Michigan’s economy, too,because it wards off businesses andinvestors. The prospect of payingtaxes, regardless of profitability,doesn’t do much to attract compa-nies. Michigan, like Kentuckythrough the Department of EconomicDevelopment, offers tax breaks asincentives to attract new businesses— but, like Kentucky, no set of taxincentives can last forever.

I applaud Gov. Fletcher’s effortsto reform Kentucky’s tax system andI agree that the working middle classof the commonwealth needs to berelieved of the burden for supplyingthe majority of our public services.However, if we had done theresearch properly, we would havelearned a lesson from Michigan —the AMC tax comes at a cost, and aneconomy like Kentucky’s, made upof self-employed or small businessescan’t bear those costs.

The AMC tax shouldn’t be viewedas a failure of any particular publicofficial or party though. The AMCtax is the result of a bipartisan actionwithin the General Assembly.Republicans and Democrats togetherworked with the governor and votedfor the Tax Modernization Act in2004, and then for the AMC revisionin 2006. Both the governor and theGeneral Assembly share the responsi-bility for implementing the tax andtogether they will share the responsi-bility to repeal it.

Poverty still exists in Meade To the editor,I know that you have done a story

about the clothes closet, but I thinkthe public needs to know how theneed has increased with winter.

In September we had 66 requestsfor food. In October we had 99requests and in November we had125 requests. Ninety-nine broke therecord and 125 broke that record.

The last week of December wehad a request from a church for foodfor a family that hadn’t eaten since

the day before at lunch. They had notransportation to get anywhere.

Someone made a comment thatthey didn’t know poverty was so badin the county that people are goinghungry. Well, it is out there. If youdon’t see it, then it must be okay.

We even had one person last sum-mer sleeping in a car. With the cost ofgas and heating fuel, families arehaving to make some hard decisions.I know personally of three familieswho had to make a decision to eatand keep warm or not buy a new

license and insurance. They chose thefood and warmth. They then gotcaught with driving with expiredtags and no insurance. Now they arein the hole deeper.

Former county officialsdeny stealing furniture

BRANDENBURG —Former Meade County SheriffCliff Wise spoke out duringTuesday’s Fiscal Court meet-ing about allegations that hetook furniture from theSheriff’s Office when his termended in December.

The allegations againstWise and also former CountyAttorney Darren Sipes gainedpublic attention during radiostation WMMG’s Edge Wiseradio talk show last week.

Listeners called in aboutrumors that furniture, andcomputers, had been unlaw-fully taken from the offices.

Wise denied the allegationsand said he “loved MeadeCounty” and “wouldn’t doanything to hurt this county.”The former sheriff said hebought the desk when he tookoffice because the Sheriff’sOffice couldn’t afford new fur-niture at the time.

Sheriff Butch Kerrick saidWise removed the furniturethat was his and that “nothingcriminal was done.”

Kerrick said a computerthat was supposedly stolenwas being used to conductWise’s year-end audit, whichmust be completed by March15, at which time the comput-er will be returned to theSheriff’s Office.

County Attorney MargaretMatney had no comment onthe subject, but Sipes said heremoved the furniture andcomputer that was his, andthat during his time as countyattorney he never asked thecounty to reimburse him forthe expense of using his owncomputer for county business.

Sipes was outraged by theclaims.

“People need to stop wor-rying about Darren Sipes andCliffy Wise,” he said. “LetButch Kerrick be the sheriffand Margaret Matney be thecounty attorney. I’m going tostart suing people who spread

these rumors.”Wise invited Fiscal Court to

conduct an investigation.Judge/Executive HarryCraycroft said no furniture orcomputers are missing andeverything is accounted for.

Fiscal Court earlier thismonth agreed for Matney andKerrick to acquire furnitureprices for their offices.

The four soldiers beingcharged said their orders wereto “shoot on sight all males ofmilitary age unless they heldup a white flag or wereattempting to surrender.”

Clagett’s family lives inSouth Carolina and is seekingdonations in the form of gascards, money for hotel accom-modations and food, restau-rant gift certificates, phonecards, sky mile donations, etc.Those interested in making adonation can do so by visitingthe web-sitewww.pfcclagett.com or con-tacting Melanie Dianiska at(843) 513-5311.

fee is $11 minimum for 2,000gallons used. Mayor DannyTate said the rate will likelychange, but the city councilwill not make that decisionuntil May or June.

Inflow and infiltration willbe the two main causes of sew-erage-rate increases, Bruce said.

“Inflow is when things areconnected to sewer systemthat shouldn’t be connected,such as roof drains,” he said.“Those things should be sepa-rated from sanitary sewers.

“Infiltration is the biggerproblem. That’s when brownwater, or underground rain-water, gets into cracks in thesewer pipes. Since we have totreat all that at the sewerplant, we told (Muldraugh)we would have to bill themfor the water going into thetreatment plant.”

Inflow and infiltration canbe minimized through con-serving water, stopping illegaldumping of water into sewerlines and fixing faulty sewer-age pipes so rain water can’tseep into the main line.

“If we’re going to have topay for all this rainwater

going to Fort Knox, the pricewill be high for residents,”Tate said. “If we can get therainwater out, it’ll be cheaperthan what we’re paying now.We could lower our rate a lit-tle bit and lower the sewersurcharge. You lower thesewer surcharge a little bit andput it in a bond so the nexttime a pipe breaks you havemoney to repair it with.”

Tate said he knew a sewer-age-rate increase would becoming this summer and want-ed to takes steps earlier butcouldn’t because past councilmembers were uncooperative.

“I really wanted to do it thelast two years but the councilfought me,” he said. “Theyargued rates wouldn’t go up,but I’ve known for two yearsthey were going to put thismeter on. Those people on theCity Council right now …have lived here as long as Ihave and understand ourproblems. I’ve got one of thebest city councils I’ve hadsince becoming mayor.”

The council voted unani-mously Monday for VeoliaWater North America, a com-pany partnered with HardinCounty Water, to use videocameras to map Muldraugh’ssewer lines to detect cracks inpipes so the faulty areas can

be fixed or replaced. The serv-ice will cost $5,500, comparedto an estimated $80,000 to hirea private contractor. The$5,500 will be broken into 36no-interest payments of $156.

“We’ve got to find outwhere the water is getting intothe system,” Tate said. “It’seither illegal hookups orcracked sewer lines. By usingthe video camera we candetermine where the problemis. One pipe had a hole so bigyou could put a football in it.”

Tate said the $4 sewer sur-charge was set specifically forreplacing pipes, but that if thecost of repairs goes too high, ahigher rate would likely beneeded.

“When we video tape theselines and look at the problems,we might have to go to thebank for a loan if we have$300,000 worth of sewer lineproblems,” he said. “We haveto get them fixed, hopefullybefore July, and I might have toborrow the money to get thatdone, and rates might have togo up so I can show the bankwe can pay the money back.”

Tate said the city council alsois exploring handing over main-tenance and billing to HardinCounty Water, but he wouldlike for the city to continue han-dling those responsibilities.

Tabatha Kenny, 31, ofPayneville, has 15 girls in hertroop. Last year, her girls soldabout 2,100 boxes and made$1,400 profit. They used somemoney to go to Holiday Worldand to have a cookout, she said.

But some of the moneywent to projects for the girlsand to “Operation Shoebox,”in which the girls filled boxeswith school supplies, clothes,soap and other items forneedy children overseas.

That is the unseen part ofscouting for people who onlyassociate Girl Scouts withcookies, Kenny said.

“We are teaching their chil-dren morals,” she said. “Weare teaching them how to begood citizens.”

Besides earning badges forlearning skills, Girl Scouts also

participate in community service.Allen said her girls partici-

pated in the Angel Tree pro-gram by helping sort donatedtoys into their correct agegroups. The troop also hasheld a canned-food drive tomake baskets for the needy.

“There’s a lot more to themthan just cookies,” she said.“Some of these girls haveincredible ambition.”

And some of them grow upto be troop leaders themselves,like county cookie chairwomanCarleane Jantzen. Jantzen, 40,of Brandenburg, grew up inMeade County and spentseven years in Girl Scouts.

She remembers camping,spelunking and rappellingwith just the girls in her troop.

“You learn you can do any-thing,” Jantzen said. “Thingslike that, girls don’t thinkabout doing. And you can dothat in Girl Scouts.”

About 200 Girl Scouts willbe very visible for the next

two months, as cookie saleslast through March 18, butthat’s down about 100 girlsfrom last year, Jantzen said.

Word about Meade CountyGirl Scouts isn’t getting out asmuch and the organizationneeds adult volunteers, saidJantzen, 40, of Brandenburg.

“I had to start my owntroop” four years ago, shesaid. Now that troop hasmembers from four schools.

No girls have been turnedaway, Allen said. But each troopneeds two adults, and sometroops can get pretty large with-out enough volunteers.

But this time of year, manyparents do become volunteersas the lead salespeople for GirlScout Cookies.

“Usually it is a mom or adad or both helping out,” Allensaid. “Most of these kids are stillin the stage of, ‘My whole lifeyou told me not to talk tostrangers and now you want meto go up to them?’”

Real-time pricing for big electric usersBY ANDREW MELNYKOVYCH

PUBLIC SERVICE

COMMISSION

FRANKFORT – Kentucky’selectric utilities should makemore efficient use of existinggeneration and transmissionfacilities through programsthat tie the cost of electricity tothe time of day it is used, theKentucky Public ServiceCommission (PSC) says.

In an order issued recently,the PSC directed electric utili-ties to develop voluntary real-time pricing pilot programs forlarge industrial and commer-cial customers. The pilot pro-grams will be used to test theviability and effectiveness ofsuch programs, the PSC said.

“Sending price signals thatshift usage to times of lowerdemand can make better use ofexisting infrastructure and deferthe need for new facilities,” PSCChairman Mark David Gosssaid. “That can help containcosts over the long term.”

The order is the product ofthe PSC’s consideration of twostandards set forth in the fed-eral Energy Policy Act of 2005(EPACT 2005): smart meteringand interconnection. The PSCdecided against mandatoryadoption of either standard.

“The Commission finds thatthe combination of Kentucky’slow rates for electricity, the sig-nificant costs and the uncer-

tainty of benefits do not sup-port the need for mandatedsmart metering standards atthis time,” the PSC said intoday’s order. “It does appear,however, that certain aspects ofdemand response programsand time-based pricing are notonly practical but economicallyfeasible at this time and shouldbe further explored.”

Smart metering is based onsetting electric rates that riseor fall depending on the vary-ing costs of providing serviceat different times.

In the order, the PSC notedthat many electric utilities inKentucky have initiated pro-grams aimed at conservingenergy, particularly at times ofpeak demand. Large industrialand commercial customersoperate under rate plans thatinclude prices based on whenthe electricity is used andwhether the customer can berequired to limit usage.

Residential customer pro-grams generally are focusedmore on limiting demandthrough methods such asallowing a utility to remotelyswitch off air conditioners forbrief periods on very hot days.

The PSC urges utilitieswith such conservation pro-grams “to consider greaterpromotion of their benefitsand minimal costs and strong-ly encourages those utilitieswithout these types of pro-

grams to study the practicalityof introducing a residentialload management program.”

Smart metering is intendedto encourage energy conserva-tion during times of peakdemand, when the costs ofproviding electricity typicallyare highest.

If rates are set to reflect the

higher costs, customers mayreduce usage or shift it to peri-ods when costs are lower.

Such time-based rate set-ting requires the use of metersthat can track consumptionbased on time of day.

Smart metering also includesdemand response, which is theuse of other rate-related meth-

ods to encourage customers toreduce usage during times ofpeak demand. For example,large users may enter intoagreements that call for theirservice to be curtailed undercertain conditions in exchangefor lower prices at other times.

Many Kentucky utilitiesalready offer such programs.

However, the PSC found thata mandatory real-time pricingprogram for residential cus-tomers is not warranted at thistime. It is questionable whethersuch programs would be cost-effective, the PSC said, addingthat past efforts to offer time-of-day pricing for residential servicehave attracted few customers.

It’s that time again. Bythe end of the month youshould have all your W-2and 1099 forms in hand andbe ready to file your taxes.

That’s if you’ve beenorganized. If you’re startingfrom scratch, here’s amethod to make it easier.

Take last year’s returnand write down on separatesheets all the categorieswhere you had an entry.Those are likely the samenumbers you’ll need to comeup with this year.

Whether you use a com-puter tax program or penciland paper, the steps are thesame: Gather all yourreceipts, check register, med-ical bills and statements forsavings interest, credit cards,mortgage interest, propertytax and bank accounts, andwrite down all the amountson the corresponding sheet.Add them twice with apaper tape calculator, andfill in the blanks on the taxforms or the software pro-gram.

Some additional things toconsider:

• If you get a paycheckwith tax information on thestub, compare it to your W-2when it arrives. Mistakeshappen. Make sure the Year-to-Date on your stub match-es the amount on the W-2form. If you’re self-employed, compare yourbank statement depositswith the total on your Form1099. If any are incorrect,call the company for a cor-rected form.

• If you use a computertax program, check periodi-cally for online updates to

make sure you have thenewest information.

• If you use an account-ant or tax preparer, do someof the work yourself. If yougo in with your numbersorganized, your bill is likelyto be less.

• If you do your owntaxes with paper and pencil,get your forms early. Thelast thing you need to add tothe stress is to scramble forforms at the last minute. Ifyou have computer access,go to the IRS site to down-load forms: www.irs.gov,and click on Forms on theleft side of the screen.

• Free File users willnotice a change this year.The Rapid Anticipation Loan(RAL) information has beenremoved by agreementbetween the IRS and thesoftware companies.

everyone’s hugs and prayers. Ryan will be missed, not only by hisfamily, but by his friends, which he called “Buddies.” In the short 17.5

years he has touched so many people. His dad and I were so overwhelmed by the number of people who came to the funeral

home to give their condolences. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We couldn’t believe the amazing number of friends who came to paytheir respects. Your stories about Ryan were uplifting and put a smileon our faces – just like Ryan would have liked. We want to thank the

Meade County teachers and Mr. Adams for being so kind and helpful.We also want to thank Bruington-Jenkins-Sturgeon Funeral Home. Youmade this really sad time manageable with your kindness and support

through the first stages of grieving. Finally, we want to thank TonyBrown and Ryan’s co-workers for giving our child an

opportunity to do what he liked to do.For those who didn’t get a chance to come to the gravesite after

the funeral, here is a poem that a relative wrote.We think everyone will love it.

A Short JourneyIt was a short journey for me to get home.

It was a short journey but I didn’t travel alone.There were so many I had known waiting

for me on the other side.I ask you to remember the times we laughed and

not the times we cried.You loved me everyday I was here.

So don’t cry anyone, not even a tear.I promise when it’s time for you to make

the same journey home.I’ll be there and you won’t be alone.

QUESTION: I hear somuch about communicatingwith our children and makingsure we stay on the samewavelength. How can I dothat during the teen years?

DR. DOBSON: You canexpect communication to bevery difficult for several years.I have said that adolescence issometimes like a tornado. Letme give you a better analogy.This time of life reminds me insome ways of the very earlyspace probes that blasted offfrom Cape Canaveral inFlorida.

I remember my excitementwhen John Glenn and theother astronauts embarked ontheir perilous journeys intospace. It was a thrilling time tobe an American.

People who lived throughthose years will recall that aperiod of maximum dangeroccurred as each spacecraftwas re-entering the Earth’satmosphere. The flier insidewas entirely dependent on theheat shield on the bottom ofthe capsule to protect him

from temperatures in excess of1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Ifthe craft descended at thewrong angle, the astronautwould be burned to cinders.At that precise moment ofanxiety, negative ions wouldaccumulate around the cap-sule and prevent all communi-cation with the Earth forapproximately seven minutes.

The world waited breath-lessly for news of the astro-naut’s safety. Presently, thereassuring voice of a mannamed Chris Craft wouldbreak in and say: “This isMission Control. We havemade contact with FriendshipSeven. Everything is A-OK.Splashdown is imminent.”

Cheers and prayers wentup in restaurants, banks, air-ports and millions of homesacross the country. Even CBSnews anchor Walter Cronkiteseemed relieved.

The application to the teenyears should be apparent.After the training and prepa-ration of childhood are over, apubescent youngster marches

out to the launching pad. Hisparents watch apprehensivelyas he climbs aboard a capsulecalled adolescence and waitsfor his rockets to fire.

His father and mother wishthey could go with him, butthere is room for just one per-son in the spacecraft. Besides,nobody invited them. Withoutwarning, the mighty rocketengines begin to roar and the“umbilical cord” falls away.“Liftoff! We have liftoff!”screams the boy’s father.

Junior, who was a babyonly yesterday, is on his wayto the edge of the universe. A

few weeks later, his parents gothrough the scariest experi-ence of their lives: They sud-denly lose all contact with thecapsule. “Negative ions” haveinterfered with communica-tion at a time when they mostwant to be assured of theirson’s safety. Why won’t hetalk to them?

This period of silence lastsmuch longer than a few min-utes, as it did with John Glennand friends. It may continuefor years. The same kid whoused to talk a mile a minuteand ask a million questionshas now reduced his vocabu-lary to nine short phrases.They are: “I dunno,”“Maybe,” “I forget,” “Huh?”,“No!”, “Nope,” “Yeah,” “Whome?” and “He did it.”Otherwise, only “static”comes through the receivers— groans, grunts, growls andgripes. What an apprehensivetime it is for those who waiton the ground!

Years later, when MissionControl fears the spacecrafthas been lost, a few scratchy

signals are picked up unex-pectedly from a distant trans-mitter. The parents are jubilantas they hover near their radio.Was that really his voice? It isdeeper and more mature thanthey remembered. There it isagain. This time the intent isunmistakable. Their spaceyson has made a deliberateeffort to correspond withthem! He was 14 years oldwhen he blasted into spaceand now he is nearly 20.Could it be that the negativeenvironment has been sweptaway and communication isagain possible?

Yes. For most fami-lies, that is precisely what

happens. After years of quietanxiety, parents learn to theirgreat relief that everything isA-OK onboard the spacecraft.The “splashdown” occurringduring the early 20s can thenbe a wonderful time of life forboth generations.

BIBLE

TRIVIA

‘Be quiet and listen’“When Jesus heard that

John the Baptist had beenkilled, he withdrew in a boat toa deserted place by himself.”

MATTHEW 14

As many times as I haveread these lines, I never reallypaid much attention to them.

For some reason, theyjumped out and grabbed myattention recently. What Jesusdid in response to John’s mur-der is exactly what I do when Iface loss, tragedy or illness.

I know that I am in aminority, but I want to be leftalone. Some people draw theirstrength from being with peo-ple at such times. I get mystrength from being awayform them. My way is not bet-ter than the other way, it is justdifferent.

I believe Jesus was an intro-vert who was able to balancehis need to be alone with hisdesire to be with people.

There are so many storiesof Jesus accepting invitationsto dinner parties that it earnedhim the nicknames of “glut-ton” and “drunkard.” On theother hand, he started his min-istry with a 40-day desertretreat, alone.

He often took his disciplesaway to quiet spots when thecrush of people got to be toomuch. Sometimes he retreatedto a garden or a mountain or adesert and sometimes in a boatanchored out on a lake.

Hours before he died, wefind him praying alone in thegarden of Gethsemani. Jesusembraced the world, but hegot his strength, insight andguidance by withdrawing tothe quiet.

The best place to hearGod’s guiding voice may be inthe quiet, but finding that timewas a problem for Jesus, as itis for us. Sometimes there was

so much coming and goingthat Jesus and his disciplesdidn’t even have time to eat!

We know that sometimeshe got up earlier than othersso as to have some quiet timealone. Sometimes he sent hisdisciples on ahead so that hecould enjoy a quiet walkalone.

If he were here today, hemight turn off his car radio onthe way to work. He mightrise early and take his coffeeout on the deck. He might jog,rent a cabin or retreat to a localmonastery for a day.

“Where there is a will, thereis a way.”

I believe the noisier theworld gets, the further awayfrom God it gets.

As Jeremiah learned, it isnot in the noise of winds,earthquakes or fires that wehear God speak to us, it is inthat small whispering voicethat can be heard only in thequiet.

I have learned one thingfrom years of counseling: mostpeople already know the solu-tion to their problems.

I don’t need to give advice,nearly as much as I need toencourage them to shut outthe noise and listen to the wis-dom of their own hearts. It isthere that God speaks, offeringdirection and strength.

In a noisy world, find somequiet, no matter how busy youare!

“Each kid felt like theywere the closest to him, andthat speaks volumes aboutwhat kind of dad he was.”

Audrey Mundell said sheand the children have “runthe gamut of emotions”since being visited by a mili-tary casualty officer lastFriday.

“It’s still pretty raw,” shesaid. “It was pretty devastat-ing when we found out. Allfour kids are just goingthrough lots and lots ofemotions. They seem to dobetter during the day and atnight it is a little more diffi-cult. They’ve been playingpaintball and that helps getout their frustration andhelps them sleep.

“I told my kids I would

gladly take all this painfrom them if I could.Unfortunately, I can’t.”

Audrey Mundell said theamount of community sup-port she and her family havereceived is surprising.

“We have a really goodsupport network,” she said.“Teachers and administra-tors have all stopped by, andthe community has reallyreached out in a way I did-n’t know they would, orcould.

“Everyone’s prayers I’msure will help. People toldme, ‘God doesn’t give youmore than you can handle,’but right now I’m question-ing His judgment, eventhough I know that’s true.”

Audrey Mundell said herhusband’s death haschanged her perspective onthe war a little, but sheremembers his letters, whichreinforces her belief that her

husband was doing whatwas best for both his familyand his country.

“It does make it a littleharder to see the point ofthe war when it hit so hardand close to home, but Iunderstand he was doingwhat he thought he neededto do,” she said. “I askedMike, ‘Do you feel likeyou’re accomplishing any-thing?’ And he said, ‘Wecan’t leave now or (Iraq)will fall and someone likeSaddam will come in and dothe same. We can’t leavethem.’”

Audrey Mundell said thetone of her husband’s letterschanged from lightheartedto more serious the longerhe served in Iraq, but healways spoke fondly of hisfellow soldiers, bothAmerican and Iraqi alike.

“You could tell he wasgrowing tired and weary

from having to be on-guardall the time,” she said. “Hespoke of the people heworked with in his lettersfrequently. Some (membersof the Iraqi army) were hisfriends and he ate dinner atsome of their houses. Hewas pretty fond of them.”

Brandenburg CityCouncil unanimouslyapproved a resolutionMonday honoring MichaelMundell for his sacrifice.

“Anybody that gives theultimate sacrifice to protectus, it is only fitting we dosomething here in hishonor,” Brandenburg MayorDavid Pace said. “We wantto honor him and let hisfamily know what his sacri-fice means to the communi-ty.”

City Council memberRonnie Joyner, who pro-posed the resolution, sharedPace’s sentiments.

“Nobody likes war, andnobody likes having to servein a war, but … we shouldhonor our fallen soldiers atall times,” he said. “It really

tears your heart out to knowit happened, but (MichaelMundell) protected our free-doms, and we should honorhim for that.”

and oncoming traffic. Woodsaid minors who continue thatbehavior would be cited fordisorderly conduct.

“I drive down the road andI have to get right up on thembefore they move off theroad,” he said. “I’ve noticedthey’re getting out of the waymore than they used to, but ifwe catch them, they’ll bebrought in, cited for disorderlyconduct and released to theparents and they’ll end uphaving to go to court.”

Wood said the problem hasgotten better since police start-ed warning minors of the con-sequences of obstructing traffic.

“Personally, I haven’t hadone do it to me since we start-ed putting the word out,” hesaid. “A lot of them walk onthe streets, and if cars aregoing and they get out of theway, we won’t say much, butthose who aren’t getting out ofthe way, we’ll bring them in.

“They’re thinking they cando whatever they want, butwe’re trying to show them dif-ferent. Why they want to walkdown the center of the roadwhen they have a sidewalk, Ican’t answer that.”

Lee said during Monday’smeeting that he’s had toswerve around minors severaltimes and is concerned fortheir safety, and he’s also con-cerned about a possible law-suit if a child were hit.

“Sometimes there will befour of five in a group andsome will be out abouthalfway in the lane and theywon’t get out of the lane,” hesaid. “I’ve encountered thatseveral times. I don’t knowwhat their problem is or whatthey’re thinking, but they’llhave to be educated somehowbecause it’s dangerous. If a kidwere hit and the parents suedthe city then the taxpayerswould end up paying for it.”

Waste afloat until October.Craycroft said a fee increasemay be necessary, but hewould like to examine otheroptions as well.

“Right now, the ways thingsare working, we’re either goingto have to change some thingsor have a fee increase, butthat’s one of the things weneed to discuss when we havea work session,” he said. “We’lldo everything we can to keepfees down or keep them whereit is for the time being for aslong as we can.”

Craycroft said he and SolidWaste Coordinator MarkGossett have reviewed severaladvisory board models fromother counties.

Craycroft said it is too earlyto say if any 109 Board mem-bers will be invited to serve onthe new advisory committee,but he hopes to find individu-als who are “willing to put inthe time,” have knowledge ofhow Solid Waste operates andwho are “able to work well”with others.

Bim Wadrip said he isunsure if he would be willingto serve on the new advisorycommittee, but said in themeantime the 109 Board willcontinue its role, which cur-rently is limited to payingSolid Waste’s bills.

UofLbiggerthanPetrino

Don’t fret, UofL footballfans. Coach Bobby Petrino isgone but you’ve gotten a quali-ty replacement in former Tulsacoach Steve Kragthorpe.

Louisville will likely be apreseason top-10 team comingoff a 12-1 season that endedwith a big win in a BCS bowl,for starters.

There’s no reason to thinkUofL will take more than astep back as it is no longer aprogram on the rise. Petrinomight be leaving sooner thanmany expected — sevenmonths into a 10-year, $25 mil-lion contract — but he didexactly what he was expectedto do and he’s leaving the pro-gram in tremendous shape.

The truth is, no one shouldbe surprised Petrino has decid-ed to leave. He’s interviewedfor another job every year he’sbeen in Louisville. Auburn,LSU and the Oakland Raidershave all tried to lure Petrinoaway, although unsuccessfully.

Louisville Athletics DirectorTom Jurich should be com-mended for doing everythingpossible to keep Petrino atUofL. He put up with the con-stant rumors that Petrinowould leave and threw somuch money at him few othercolleges could compete finan-cially.

Looking at Jurich’s hiringtrack record, there’s no reasonto believe he hasn’t found atop-notch replacement inKragthorpe because that’s allthis guy has ever done.

Jurich said at a press confer-ence Monday he wanted tofind someone who will beloyal to the kids andKragthorpe said he wants toend his career with theCardinals.

Pardon me if I’m not con-vinced.

Loyalty is something everycoach will preach to anyonewithin earshot, but few prac-tice it themselves.

Look at the recent fiascowith Miami and new CrimsonTide coach Nick “Satan,” as theMiami media lovingly callshim. What’s really amazing isthat coaches aren’t payingattention to what’s happenedto the majority of their peerswho have made the jump. Bigname “saviors” like ButchDavis, Steve Spurrier, LouHoltz, Rich Brooks, PeteCarroll and Saban have alltried their luck in the NFL aftersuccessful stints in college —all failed miserably.

There will be a lot of ques-tions going into next year, par-ticularly at quarterback. Juniorstar Brian Brohm is almost cer-tainly gone. Why would hewant to learn a presumablynew system under a new headcoach for only one year? IfBrohm came back and strug-gled, it might lower his NFLvalue, and he needs to gowhile his proverbial fire is hot.

Junior-to-be Hunter Cantwellwill look to be the man if Brohmdoes go after the Cards sufferedits first major recruiting loss inNew Jersey prep star MattSimms, of Phil Simms fame.Word from the recruiting rumormill is that Simms is now look-ing at — gasp — Kentucky.

But in the end, the programshouldn’t suffer too much fromthe loss of Petrino. It’s gottenbigger than that, thanks to him.

Louisville fans should keepthat in mind next time theywant to rant about his “youshould have seen this coming”betrayal.

Legend Bobby Hamilton succumbs to cancerBY BUDDY SHACKLETTE

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla – TheNASCAR community was shook just aday before preseason testing began atDaytona with the news that BobbyHamilton Sr. died Sunday afternoon athis Nashville, Tenn., home from com-plications caused by cancer.

The 49-year-old driver won on allthree of NASCAR’s major touringseries and was the 2004 NASCARCraftsman Truck Series champion, buttook last season off after the Atlantarace to fight the disease.

“Cancer is an ongoing battle andonce you are diagnosed, you alwayslive with the thought of the disease inyour body,” said Hamilton just 18 daysbefore his death. “It is the worst thingyou could ever imagine.”

The Mount Juliet, Tenn., native gothis first NEXTEL Cup win just 10 yearsago, won four times on the NEXTELCup series, once in the Busch Seriesand 10 times in theNASCAR CraftsmanTruck Series.

He had his son,Bobby Hamilton, Jr.,race his truck formost of last seasonand had made plansfor NEXTEL veteranKen Schrader to bein his truck this year.

“He will be greatly missed as a hus-band, a father, a grandfather, an ownerand a friend,” the Hamilton familysaid in a statement. “We want to thankeveryone for their love and support ofour racing operation and the outpour-

ing of care and concern during his can-cer battle. One of Bobby’s greatestloves in life was racing and we willcontinue on in his honor.”

A toothache 13 months ago ledHamilton to a dentist and later testresults revealed that the longtimeNASCAR driver/team owner wasdiagnosed with head and neck cancer.

Hamilton vowed he would battlethe disease and return to racing, butthe father and grandfather never gotthe opportunity.

“Bobby was a great guy and a goodfriend. This sport is really going tomiss him. He was a hard, clean racerand a really talented driver. We start-ed racing right about the same timeand he was a fierce competitor. Heknew what he wanted to do and hemade it happen,” said fellow

Tennessean and NASCAR veteranSterling Marlin. “But at the same time,he’d give anyone the shirt off his back.He was a sincere man that genuinelycared about people. We flew a lot ofmiles together to and from races andtest sessions and made some goodmemories together. Everyone in theracing world will miss him.”

Hamilton’s first NASCAR victorycame at Richmond in 1989 in the No. 8Oldsmobile, and in 1996 he got his firstNEXTEL victory at Phoenix whiledriving the famed No. 43 Pontiac ofPetty Enterprises.

“The entire Petty family and organi-zation is saddened by the passing ofBobby Hamilton. Bobby was not only

Boys face John Hardin

BY SHAUN T. COX

After shutting down the NorthHardin Trojans on Tuesday, theGreenwave face a much tougher testin the John Hardin Bulldogs duringtonight’s boys-girls home double-header.

The Bulldogs (10-4) had their bestseason in school history last year, fin-ishing 26-5 and advancing to the statetournament for the first time. But JohnHardin had to reload after losing sevenof its top 10 players to graduation.

The key returnees are 6-foot seniorguards Brandon Johnson and RickyPrice, the lone starters from lastyear’s team. The Bulldogs also havesome size in the frontcourt wherebrothers Ed and Terrance Butler — 6-

5 and 6-4, respectively — see themost action. The Bulldogs also have a6-8 junior center, Stefan Frees, whosees backup minutes in the middle.

“They’re just as quick and athletic,so we’ll have to do the same thing wedid (at North),” junior center NickStinnett said.

Meade County coach Jerry Garrissaid Johnson would be the No. 1 tar-get for his team defensively, especial-ly for 6-5 senior guard Riley Benock.

“He’s by far the best they’ve gotback, and Riley will probably guardhim,” he said. “We may play somezone but when we go man-to-man,Riley’s big enough to make him shootover top of him and that gives us adimension other teams don’t have onthe perimeter.”

Garris said John Hardin has beengetting better as its players have got-ten more time on the floor.

“They don’t have a lot of experi-

ence, but they’ve got some size insideand they’ve played pretty well sofar,” he said. “They’re probably just anotch behind Central Hardin and E-town right now.”

The two teams have faced onecommon opponent this season, theaforementioned Trojans. John Hardinbeat North Hardin 70-59 on Dec. 14,while the Greenwave shut the Trojansdown defensively Tuesday en-routeto a 56-33 victory in Radcliff.

North Hardin Coach Ron Bevarsdidn’t have much to say after seeinghis team score 12, eight, seven and sixpoints in four quarters.

“Meade County is just better thanus,” he said. “They’ve got one of thebest players in the state and they’re justa better team than we are right now.”

According to Garris, it was the best

Hoops great,super fan inHall of FameBY SHAUN T. COX

Dina Disney Hackert is perhaps the most celebratedfemale athlete in Meade County history.

Hackert’s resume is certainly impressive — she is theLady Waves’ all-time leading scorer with 1,486 points, the17th District Basketball Player of the Year in 1986, TodayGirls Basketball All-American in 1986, runner-up for MissBasketball and Female Athlete of the Year in 1986, and atwo-time member of the All-District, All-Region and All-State basketball teams in ’85 and ’86. She also received theJoe Billy Mansfield Award for the 1985 state basketballtournament, given to a tournament participant based oncitizenship, basketball ability, academic achievement andsportsmanship.

But what stands out most to her is the tremendous sup-port she and her teammates received in the mid-’80s fromthe Greenwave nation.

“Our teams were the only ones at that time to make itto the state semifinals,” she said. “Brandenburg wasalways known for the tornado (in 1974) and I think it didgreat things for the community. It was all Marshall Countyback then, and it really put girls basketball on the map forMeade County, and it was an exciting thing to be a part of.A sea of green in the crowds was always a special thingfor us as players to see.”

Hackert and one member of those crowds, super-fanSandy Shellner, are being inducted into the Meade CountyHigh School Hall of Fame along with Patch Shacklette andRodney Pickering, two men known for their contributions tothe Greenwave gridiron. The inductees will be honored dur-ing a special ceremony tonight between the boys’ and girls’double-header against John Hardin. A public reception willbe held in the high school’s foods room at 6 p.m.

According to John Proctor, the high school athleticsdirector, candidates for induction are selected by the com-munity and approved by a special committee. There are

“I had no idea they couldshoot like that,” Meade coachJosh Hurt said. “They had 12three-pointers and haven’tmade two or three lately.”

Hurt and senior forward

Kayla Stull credited Northand Brown for making thedefensive game-plan backfire.

“They hadn’t been shoot-ing their three-pointers verywell and tonight they cameout and hit a lot of them,”Stull said. “Our game-planwas to let them shoot thethree, but then they startedmaking them so it shot thatall to pieces.”

Hurt said a good team’sability to knock down shotscan make quick work ofopponents.

“It was one of those nightswhere they knocked downshots, felt good and were in arhythm, and you’ve got to tip

your hat to them,” he said.“They really shot the ball welland when you shoot, youlook good. When you don’tshoot you look kind of bad,but give them credit.”

Brown said her team hasbeen putting in extra time onits shooting.

“We’ve shot better thanthat, but we just came out ofa big slump and it had to endsomewhere,” she said.“Everybody’s been in thegym working on their shotand getting the rhythmdown. But I think we can

Ford Motor Company isfacing multi-billion dollarlosses, and hopes its reductionin union workforce, plant clo-sures and other moves willbetter allow it to compete onthe domestic front, where itsmarket share has fallen from25 percent in the early ‘90s toits present 17.6 percent share.

If one believes the Internetblog rumors, Ford could welldrop out of Nextel Cup beforethe first “Car of Tomorrow”race in 2007, or at the end ofthe year.

However, according toKevin Kennedy, Ford RacingTechnology Public Affairsmanager, this is nothing butrumors.

“It’s not true,” he says. “Asof right now, Ford’s racing sup-port and involvement is fine.”

Kennedy explained thatFord’s racing programs pro-vide a good return on invest-ment. He also said that sinceDan Davis (director of FordRacing Technology) came onboard nine years ago, FordRacing has done extensiveresearch as to who the fan is,what the buying habits areand what type of vehicle thisconsumer purchases.

“In the most recent sur-veys, 56 percent of (NorthAmerican) Ford owners classi-fied themselves as race fans,”Kennedy explained.“Important is the fact that

these owners classified them-selves, Ford did not.”

Kennedy also points thatFord’s research shows pur-chase consideration is 72 per-cent higher for Ford productswith race fans than non-racefans.

“That’s a pretty strongnumber that cannot beignored, and the market shareamong race fans to the generalpopulation is 46 percent high-er.”

Numbers like this indicatethere is an active, clearlydefined and very importantrace-influenced audience thatFord must market to.

Additionally, it didn’t hurtthat Ford’s new president andCEO, Alan Mulally (the for-mer executive vice presidentof Boeing and the CEO ofBoeing CommercialAirplanes), saw firsthandwhat Ford racing offers whenhe watched Ford’s threerespective victories inCraftsman Truck, Busch andNextel Cup during NASCAR’sfinal race weekend atHomestead, Fla.

“Our new CEO has seen allthe research. ... All of the topmanagement understands it,and that’s why Ford’s racinginvolvement is fairly well-pro-tected,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy also admits thatrace fans are buying moreFords, and buying them moreoften, and that all the afore-mentioned reasons make for a

good market.As for involving sibling

Mercury in the motorsportsmarketing mix, especiallysince the “Car of Tomorrow”would need only a set ofMercury decals to bring thebrand back to the NASCARforefront, Kennedy was againquick to answer.

“No, not at this time. OurNASCAR effort is gearedspecifically toward the Fordbrand, and I suspect it won’tchange. I will also admit thatalthough I can’t comment onexact funding, I will tell youFord is more efficient (spend-ing monies) than anyone elsein the racing business,”

Kennedy said.In summary, a “Fordless”

NASCAR would be a majorsetback, especially with thecompany’s spectacular trackrecord in the sport. From thedays of the “zipper top” hard-top/convertible ‘59Thunderbirds, through thedevelopment of Holman &Moody, the Wood and Elliotbrothers, and present dayRoush-Yates horsepower, Fordhas earned its stay.

a huge part of the racing family,but of the Petty family as well.He will always be a part of ourfamily,” said Richard Petty.“He had a heart of a championand that affected everyonearound him. You could alwayscount on Bobby. He was justthat type of guy. He never letyou down and gave you every-thing he had, on and off thetrack. His family is in ourhearts and prayers.”

Hamilton won three sea-sons in a row on the NEXTELCup Series, including a win atNorth Carolina Speedway(Rockingham) in 1997. In 1998Hamilton won at Martinsvillein the No. 4 Morgan-McClureChevrolet and three years laterhe won at Talladega in the No.55 Andy Petree Chevrolet.

“It’s hard to put into wordshow you feel when somethinglike this happens. It’s just hardto believe. It seems like yester-day I was helping to pushBobby to victory at Talladegaback in ’01. It hits close to homewhen something like this hap-

pens. It’s like when I lost mybrother — anytime you’re closeto someone and you knowthem well, it just makes yourheart hurt,” said former Cupteammate Joe Nemechek.“Bobby was a heck of a race cardriver. He was a family manand loved his kids and hisgrand kids. It’s a sad time. He’llbe missed, but we’ll keep himin our thoughts and prayers.”

Hamilton jumped to run-ning fulltime in the NASCARCraftsman Truck Series in 2003,where he won two races as aprelude to his championship-winning season in 2004.

He won four races duringhis championship truck seasonand two more in 2005.

Last year Hamilton droveat Daytona, California andAtlanta before turning thedriving duties over to his son,Bobby Hamilton Jr.

“He was just a really goodguy,” said NASCAR veteranMark Martin. “He was a veryunique person and he was agreat competitor on the racetrack, and it’s just a huge lossfor everyone in the racingfamily and our thoughts areprayers are with his family atthis time.”

Junior quarterback J.L. Cannady recieves theaward for offensive MVP from Coach GlenWilson at Monday’s football banquet. The bigwinner of the night was junior linebacker ChrisRoe, who earned awards for most tackles anddefensive MVP. Roe was also named honorablemention all-state by The Courier-Journal.

shoot better than that and weprobably will.”

Meade had trouble match-ing North’s overall team speed.

“It was extremely difficultbecause they’re quick at all fivespots and they’re quick off thebench,” Hurt said. “I thoughtwe did a fairly good job of han-dling the ball, but we still endedup with 30 turnovers. They justkeep the pressure on and keep iton, then you might break it andget some lay-ups sometimes butwhat they’re betting on is thatyou won’t get it right every pos-session, and that’s what hap-pened. They’re relentless, andit’s very difficult to match upwith their quickness.”

North jumped out to a 28-8lead by the end of the firstquarter and led by 29 by thehalf. The Lady Trojans wereable to score 29 points offMeade’s turnovers andoutscored Meade 36-0 fromthree-point land.

Junior guard Mindy Oliver,who finished with 17 points on6 of 9 shooting, said Brown’sability to go to the hole causedthe Waves a lot of trouble.

“Hope Brown’s penetrationgot them some threes early,and I think we did a prettygood job when we went toman (to-man defense) and thatshowed in the second half,”she said. “Hope hasn’t madean outside shot in their lasttwo games and we tried toplay off that and she just cameout and stroked it.”

Junior forward KaylaFackler and senior forwardKayla Stull had eight pointsand five rebounds each.

Tonight, the Waves willface the John Hardin Bulldogsin the second-straight boys-girls doubleheader.

The Lady Bulldogs were 7-7 before its game againstTaylor County last night.

Oliver said her team needsto work on making the rightpass to put each other in thebest position to score.

“We need to work on ourshooting and work on gettingback on ‘D’ after a missedshot,” she said. “We need tobe more patient with what wedo and we need to thinkbefore we pass it and concen-trate more.”

The Lady Bulldogs are com-

ing off a win Tuesday overLaRue County after scoring onlyseven points over the last 10minutes. Senior forward LaurenMensch went for 16 points andsix boards in the win.

“They’ve got some sizeinside and they’ve got a reallygood point guard who canshoot the ball and she doeseverything well,” Hurt said.“They’re quick in the back-court, but it looks like they’vehad some trouble against thepress, so we’ll try that, butwe’ll mix it up a little bit.”

four categories candidatesmust fall under: player, coach,administrator and friend ofathletics.

“We have a Hall of Famecommittee and each spring,we solicit nominations fromthe local newspapers,” he said.“There are forms people canpick up at the high school andwe usually have one in thepapers. The committee willreview submissions and makethe best possible selections.”

Hackert said the awardsand accolades are nice, but thetime with her teammates andlessons she learned from hercoaches mean the most to her.

“Everyone who knows meknows that I’m not into per-sonal achievement,” she said.“I’m certainly very honored tobe selected but in basketball,nobody does it alone. I wishwe could all go together. It’shard to take credit because Ican’t. There were a lot of peo-ple who helped me get whereI am and for me, it’s more ofan opportunity to say thankyou to everyone.”

Hackert credited her coachat Meade County, Bob Pollock,with molding her into a greatbasketball player.

“The one underlying thingwith everything I’ve accom-plished is that all my teams hadfun and we loved playing,” shesaid. “Coach Pollock was agreat motivator and we alwayshad a great time. He was one ofthe best coaches I ever hadbecause he valued and respect-ed the game and motivatedpeople to be their best.”

Pollock said Hackert isdeserving of all the successshe’s had.

“Dina was an outstandingstudent-athlete and an out-standing person,” he said. “Ithink all the awards and thesuccess she’s had back that up.”

Hackert, who now coachesthe Ludington High Orioles in

Michigan, said the way Pollocktreated people made them wantto work harder for him, andshe follows many of the samecoaching and life principles.

“He always wanted to win,but it wasn’t the only thing tohim,” she said. “The mostimportant thing to him was usgirls as people, and when ateam knows that, they’ll doanything for you. I modelmyself after the way hecoached. He was the one whoput Meade County girls bas-ketball on the map.”

Hackert said Pollockalways made sure the girlsworked hard while having agood time in practice.

“He always had a way tomake you want to practicehard and get better,” she said.“I wasn’t very quick and hewould always make medefend the quickest player onthe other team because heknew it would make me a bet-ter player, and he was right.”

Hackert said there are a lotof differences in today’s game.

“The No. 1 difference todayis the athleticism,” she said.“They’re bigger, stronger andfaster than when we played,and the game has gotten awayfrom fundamentals because ofthat. Most teams have goodathletes and point guards. Thephysicality of the game is muchhigher, it’s not so much aboutfinesse and it’s quicker. Thethree-point shot has changedthe game tremendously.”

Hackert said today’s play-ers have to do a lot of the fine-tuning on their own to be con-sidered great.

“I think that to be good atsomething, there are a coupleof elements,” she said. “Youhave to be disciplined in fun-damentals. There are not asmany kids shooting hoops intheir backyard like there usedto be. I hate to see kids getaway from fundamentals thatthey can work on their own.To be good, you have to workoutside of practice.”

Hackert said the second-most important thing is making

sure players have a good time.“The greatest element of

team play is coming togetherand having fun — especiallyfor girls because they’re moresocial beings than boys,” shesaid. “Team unity is importantand we try to incorporate thathere. I believe the game ofbasketball, and any sport,teaches you life lessens.Especially when you don’twin as much, there are thingsto be learned from that.”

Shellner was a 1958 MeadeCounty High graduate and isbeing inducted posthumously.A memorial scholarship bear-ing his name was establishedfor female athletes in 1997.

“He was a remarkable manand I’ll always remember himfor that,” Hackert said. “Itmeans so much to the kids tosee no-agenda support frompeople. Nearly everyone hasan agenda nowadays — evenmost parents. He loved thegame and he believed in us.Before we went to state, some-one brought in a cake to cele-brate, and he was right therecelebrating with us. He was avery giving man that lovedMeade County sports.”

Pollock said people likeShellner make life easier forcoaches.

“He was very willing to doanything in any capacity,whether it was taking some-one to the doctor or getting ascouting report, and he neverasked for anything in return,”he said. “Sandy was an avidsports fan and he donated awealth of his time, and he wasa regular attendee of every-thing, including practice. Hetook every step we did. Helived and died with us.”

Hackert said there was nosingle bigger supporter of girlsbasketball than Shellner.

“Sandy made me a photoalbum from pictures he took atour games,” she said. “Whenthe season was over, he gave itto me and I still have it. Iwould say he was MeadeCounty’s No. 1 fan. Anythingwe did, he was there.”

STANDARDS BOARD

FRANKFORT — Teacherquality reaches a new mile-stone in Kentucky withtoday’s announcement by theNational Board forProfessional TeachingStandards (NBPTS) that 218Kentucky teachers wereawarded the prestigiousNational Board Certification(NBCT) in 2006.

This achievement recog-nizes these educators asamong the top in the nationand promises to improve stu-dent learning in classroomsstatewide. Kentucky showed a31 percent increase in NBCTsover 2005. Kentucky nowtotals 1,116 NBCTs, rankingKentucky 12th nationally.

Kentucky has increasednearly eight fold in the pastfive years with 141 NBCTs in2001 up to the current 1,116.

The number of NationalBoard Certified Teachers hasmore than tripled in the pastfive years.

Nationwide, 7,793 teachersachieved National Board certi-fication this year, bringing thetotal certified up to 55,306. The

top 10 states with the highestnumber of teachers achievingNational Board Certificationthis year are North Carolina(1,525), Florida (1,513), SouthCarolina (636), Illinois (431),Washington (407), California(293), Oklahoma (282),Virginia (229), Kentucky (218),and Louisiana (207).

Kentucky consistentlyranks among the top in thenumber of new NBCTs.“Kentucky’s National BoardProgram is a model for manyother states,” said PhillipRogers, executive director ofthe Educational ProfessionalStandard’s Board. “I commendthese teachers for their com-mitment to teaching and forachieving the highest creden-tial in the teaching profes-sion.”

Upon successful comple-tion of the National Boardprocess, Kentucky teachersholding a Rank II certificateare eligible to apply for Rank Iand may serve as mentors forKentucky’s new NBPTS candi-dates.

National Board certifiedteachers are nationally recog-nized as among the best teach-ers in the profession. NationalBoard certification measures a

teacher's practice against highand rigorous standards.Teachers who have participat-ed in National Board certifica-tion have overwhelminglystated it is the most powerfulprofessional developmentexperience of their careers.

National Board certificationis voluntary and open to alleducators who have a bac-calaureate degree and threeyears of classroom experiencein either a public or privateschool.

In addition to receivingfinancial support from theTeachers’ National IncentiveTrust Fund, administered bythe EPSB, Kentucky candi-dates are eligible for federalsubsidies to help offset certifi-cation expenses.

The National Board forProfessional TeachingStandards is an independent,nonprofit, nonpartisan andnongovernmental organizationgoverned by a board of direc-tors, the majority of who areclassroom teachers. Its missionis to establish high and rigor-ous standards for what accom-plished teachers should knowand be able to do.

all-around game his team hasplayed.

“I thought that was one of,if not the best, defensiveefforts of the season,” he said.“To come over here at theirplace and give up 33 pointsand only 13 points in the sec-ond half… .”

Junior forward Chris Roesaid rebounding and defensewere the keys.

“We blocked out really welland didn’t give them any sec-ond-chance points, and ourdefense really shut themdown,” he said. “They didn’thave a good shooting nightand it had a lot to do with ourdefense.”

The Greenwave held theTrojans to no second-chancepoints, and Garris agreed thathis team’s defensive rebound-ing and forcing the pace led toNorth Hardin’s low score.

“If you hold people to oneshot, you’ll be in good shape,and we did that for the mostpart,” he said. “We got themto do what we wanted them todo, and that’s not always thecase with North Hardinbecause they usually dictateon both ends what you do.”

Roe finished with 12points, including six in thethird quarter when the Meadeoffense began to struggle. Roegot all six off put-backs andmade the last one right at thebuzzer.

“It was huge from thestand-point of momentumbecause we got a little stag-nant right there in the thirdquarter, and Chris got that forus right at the end,” Garrissaid. “It pushed the lead backout to 17 and I was reallypleased with that. Chris wasgreat tonight on both ends ofthe floor. He got his hands ona lot of balls and was able tofinish under the basket andget some put-backs. I thinkthis was probably his bestgame of the year.”

Roe said he was in goodposition and the ball took afortuitous hop.

“I just got a lucky bounceoff the backboard, threw it upand it went in,” he said.

Meade finished with 15assists on 21 of 39 shooting forthe game — a robust 53.8 per-cent. Roe said his team likes tomove the ball around to getopen shots and the percent-ages showed that Tuesday.

Benock finished with 19points and eight boards, alongwith nine of the 15 assists.Junior forward Rob Williamshad 10 points and four assists.Five of those points came afterWilliams fouled a three-pointshooter and Garris lit intohim.

“That says a lot about howthose kids can go out and for-get stuff like that, and it’sexactly what I wanted him todo,” Garris said. “I like thatabout this bunch because I canget on them and get on them,and then it’s over and donewith and we just keep going.That’s what you’ve got tohave. You take it, you listenand you move on. They did agood job of that.”

Garris said if Williams andjunior forward Jonathan Ivescan continue to hit shots, itwould only create more fortheir teammates.

“Rob played really welland I think he’s more comfort-able coming off the bench, andif we can get to the pointwhere we’ve got Rob and Ivesin the game at the same timeand we can get to that cornerwhere they’re hitting thoseshots consistently, that’s goingto take a lot more pressure offRiley and it will open up themiddle,” he said. “It will giveus a lot more options if thosetwo kids can continue toknock down that corner shotwhen we flatten everybodyout.”

Next Tuesday, the boystake on the OwensboroCatholic Aces at home.

The Aces (3-12), much likeJohn Hardin, had their bestseason in school history lastyear, going 25-4. ButOwensboro Catholic graduat-ed all of its top players, lost itshead coach to a junior collegeand is in rebuilding mode.Before playing Central Hardintomorrow, the Aces have lostsix in a row and eight of nine.

Garris said he would scoutOwensboro Catholic tomor-row and learn a little moreabout what they try to do.

“We’ve had some successso far this month, and if wecan beat John Hardin hereFriday night, that would putus to a really good start,” hesaid. “We’re out of schoolMonday and I think that’s mybiggest concern for Tuesdaybecause it breaks up our rou-tine. As long as we continue toguard the way we have,things will take care of them-selves.”

The two regional rivalshave faced three commonopponents this season:Breckinridge, Hancock andOhio counties. Meade hasbeaten all three by an averageof 16 points, while OwensboroCatholic has lost to all threeby an average of almost 21.

Last Saturday, the boyshosted the Ohio CountyEagles and their trifecta of 6-10, 6-9 and 6-5 players andwon, 49-36.

“We defended well, andany time in high school ball,when you’ve got a team thatcomes in with that kind ofsize, you’ll have some con-cerns,” Garris said. “But ourkids did really well. Theyprobably made it easier for usbecause they couldn’t hit out-side shots and that alwayshelps. We were quicker thanthem and we were able to getup and down the floor.”

Garris said it was nice toget a victory over a regionalfoe that his team hasn’t beenable to beat since it joined the

schedule.“That’s the first time we’ve

beaten them in four years, andevery game we’ve played,we’ve led going into thefourth quarter and weren’table to pull it out for differentreasons,” he said. “I votedthem No. 1 in the regionbefore the season, but theirguards are not as good as theywere last year and that’s giventhem some trouble. But I stillthink they could be a factor.”

The stout Meade defenseheld Ohio to about 33 percentshooting — including 1 of 16from three — and forced 17turnovers, off which it scored15 points. Meade was out-rebounded by five, 31 to 26.

Benock finished with adouble-double, 13 points and10 boards, as well as sevenassists and three blocks.Williams had 11 points on 3 of4 shooting from the floor, andStinnett had 13 on 6 of 12shooting. Roe added sixpoints, four boards, twoassists and four steals.

Last Friday atHomecoming, Meade defeatedthe Wanneroo Wolves fromPerth, Australia, 60-42.

“It was a good night. It wasone of those deals where itwasn’t as serious and it was afun night for everyone withHomecoming,” Garris said.“The kids responded well toall the outside distractions andwe did what we wanted to do.We got up and down the floora little bit — I knew they weretired. We got some of our kidssome rest since we were play-ing back-to-back games, and Iwas pleased with that.”

Meade finished the gameshooting about 48 percentafter going a sizzling 16 of 24in the first half. The Wolvesshot 47 percent but could onlyget off 34 attempts — Meadehad 48 — because of 21turnovers, off which Meadescored 24 points.

Benock stuffed the statsheet again with 22 points,four rebounds, four assists, ablock and two steals. Ives had

10 points, three boards, twoassists and two steals, whileStinnett and Roe added 13 and11, respectively. Stinnett ledthe way with seven rebounds.
