A decades old tradition for Meade County High School seniors is gaining criticism after a trend of injuries in the past couple of years.

For at least two years in a row, participants in the

annual end of school water fi ght, which is said to have started with the class of 1989, have been injured.

Meade County High School track coach Larry Garner, who has been the track coach at MCHS for 12 years, noticed the event has taken a dangerous turn dur-

ing his tenure.“Usually, when I fi rst got

here, everyone had water balloons,” he said. “Prob-ably in the past three or four years it has been get-ting worse. I’ve heard that people have been putting Nair in balloons; I’ve heard that people are putting urine

inside balloons. I also heard that last year somebody put a rock in a balloon and a kid had to have stitches.”

This year, the water fi ght cost the track team one of its best runners in the re-gion and state track meets. For senior Sean Breeds, it forfeited his last meet as a

Meade County runner.Breeds, who was one

of the top runners for the Meade County High School track team and one of the best distance runners in the state, according to Garner, was hit in the face with a water balloon after some-body connected a PVC pipe

to an air compressor to use as a makeshift cannon used to launch water balloons, according to Garner.

The balloon ricocheted off of a vehicle, and struck Breeds in the face, he added.

As a result, the runner

Meade County will welcome a new band director this school year, as Chris McGee will fi ll the shoes of former di-rector Bruce Soderstrom.

According to Paul Poole, director of personnel at Meade County schools, there were numerous quality candi-dates up for the position and the board didn’t want to rush to make a decision.

“It took us a while to fi ll the posi-tion … we had to make sure we had the right fi t for the community,” Poole said. “Chris stood out because he has had success as a past band director and in the classroom.”

McGee will come to Meade County after serving as the Assistant Band Di-rector for Muhlenburg County High

School in Muhlenburg, Ky., in 2009. His responsibilities included directing the 2009-10 concert band and 2009-10 jazz band. His other duties included march-ing band, wind ensemble, pep bands, assisting with middle school bands and teaching music courses.

Prior to that, McGee served as the Band Director for Muhlenberg South High School for four years.

At Muhlenberg South High School, McGee led the “Marching Suns” marching band to their fi rst state fi nal appearance in 2006 and to the Class AA State Championship in 2007. In 2008, Muhlenburg South High School con-cert band received exemplary status at the Third District Concert Festival.

A BRAC inspired road project in Meade County sparkles with promises of progress, but also threatens to undo generational ownership of some of the county’s farms and homesteads.

The expansion of KY 313, which was designed to help allevi-ate and ebb traffi c fl ow caused by a spike in motorists due to BRAC, is not only going to change Meade County’s topogra-phy, but the lives of many residents as well.

For some Meade County residents, it means giving up homes ranging from newly built homes to homes that have been in families for generations.

James Snider, of Flaherty, was one of many Meade County residents notifi ed two years ago that his home would be one of the houses that would have to be demolished to make room for the KY 313 expansion.

“I’ve been here for 69 years, and my wife has been here for 45 years,” Snider said. “This is where all of our kids were born and raised.”

The new law partnered the council with the Ken-tucky Livestock Care Stan-dards Commission, and gave the two entities the au-thority to conduct research, hold public hearings and to collect data pertinent to de-

termining common equine health and welfare issues.

The council is expected lessen incidences of farm animal abuse in the state.

Nearly a week before the bill was signed, state leg-islators managed to avoid a state government shut-down after they passed a highly anticipated state budget.

Lawmakers failed to pass

a budget during this year’s General Assembly, which meant crucial programs such as state police, state parks and Medicaid would lose funding if a budget wasn’t passed by July 1.

A special session of the General Assembly was or-dered two weeks ago, and legislators hashed out a $17.1 billion budget after a week of deliberating.

McGee’s professional af-fi liations include the Ken-tucky Music Educators As-sociation, Music Educator’sNational Conference andPhi Kappa Lambda Nation-al Honor Society.

With all of his achieve-ments, Meade County offi -cials know McGee will fi t injust perfectly in the area.

“I feel like (McGee) willdo a good job leading ourprogram,” Poole said.

A missing Meade Coun-ty youth was found lastweekend.

Rebecca Short, a 15-year-old Guston resident, had been missing for nearly three weeks when she was found at the Target store on Bardstown Road in Louisville last Friday according to the teen’s moth-er, Kim Short.

She was unharmed.The teen, who was sus-

pected to have ran away with another Meade Coun-ty teen, was returned to her home on Monday morning in a fervent reunion with her family.

“We’re going through a lot of emotional stuff be-cause of what she’s done, all the worrying she’s caused us and throughout the com-munity,” Kim said.

The two teens were appre-hended at the store by Jef-ferson County Metro Police,

after somebody apparently recognized the pair from fl y-ers and then called police.

The teens, who had been missing since May 16, were detained at Lincoln Village Juvenile Detention Center in Elizabethtown, Ky., over the weekend.

The pair was detained for pick-up orders, and were ordered to appear before a judge on Monday morning, who placed certain condi-tions on the two for running away, Kim said.

The community was in-strumental in locating the two teens, she added.

“There’s a lot of people that helped with fl yers and searching for and prayers,” she said. “We just need to put that out there, thank-ing all the police offi cers, the newspapers and all the Kroger employees, because they helped us a lot. And I also want to thank my coworkers and the local churches.”

Citizens throughout the Commonwealth should be on guard for telephone so-licitations requesting dona-tions for the benefi t of the Kentucky State Police.

According to Lt. David Jude, commander of the KSP Media Relations Branch, the agency has received numer-ous reports from individuals throughout the state regard-ing efforts to raise funds for the families of fallen troop-ers or to purchase drug dogs for schools.

“These calls are not au-thorized by the Kentucky State Police,” he said. “They should be reported to the nearest state police post as soon as possible.”

The agency’s Electronic Crimes Branch is conducting an on-going investigation of the matter, he added.

The Kentucky State Police Professional Association, a

separate organization con-sisting of KSP troopers and retirees, occasionally con-ducts fundraising efforts, but is not involved in such activities at this time.

The Kentucky State Police offer the following tips to reduce the risk of telephone fraud:

•When in doubt, ask for more information in writing.

•Never feel obligated to provide your credit card number over the phone.

•Ask questions such as “How much of the donation will go directly to the char-ity as opposed to paying for administrative costs?” The fewer questions the caller can answer, the less likely it is legitimate.

•Ask for a call-back num-ber or website address so you can research the organization and contact them later.

•Hang up if a caller offers to send a messenger to your home to pick up cash or a check.

Meade County raised money by allowing teachers and staff to pay $10 to dress down each Friday during May.

“It’s good that the community comes together to help provide support for its students,” said Nancy Mitcham, director of special education. “This is one small thing to help the fi re departments in their effort to help the children with special needs.”

This is second year Meade County has participated

in this fundraiser for the Crusade for Children and Mit-cham said they plan to continue in the future.

The total amount of money raised was $3,215.10. Battletown: $190 Brandenburg Primary: $785 Central Offi ce: $195 David T. Wilson: $345 Ekron: $460 Flaherty: $275 MCHS: $203 MCHS FA: $216 Muldraugh: $70 Payneville: $188 Stuart Pepper: $288.10 Total Donations: $3,215.10

The house, which be-longed to his grandfather, is one of six homes lining a stretch of Highway 144 in Ekron that will be sacri-ficed for the new route.

A few houses down, a house built nearly a year ago is perched on a hilltop that is in the path of the extension project.

The recently built home will also have to come down, and the owner has already vacated, Snider said.

Across the road from Snider’s house is a wheat field, part of which will be a section of the new high-way.

Snider’s well manicured side yard, shaded by trees and adorned with the oc-casional flower or decora-tive plant will eventually be the site of a connector road to KY 313.

Though the impact of the road extension means detrimental changes to the landscape for some, the overall consequences will signal beneficial changes for many, according to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet public affairs of-ficial Mark Brown.

“I think because BRAC is bringing such a substan-tial addition to the area, that is what is making these projects necessary. It is going to relieve a trans-portation need that will

be developing as BRAC continues to initialize,” Brown said. “Any time we can improve the highway system, it improves mo-bility, it improves safety, and it improves economic opportunities.”

From Vine Grove, the road will extend to and absorb Highway 144 near Flaherty and then contin-ue to Highway 448 until Highway 1638. The roads will be widened.

KY 313 currently ex-tends from Vine Grove to Interstate 65 just north of Elizabethtown, Ky.

After the expansion project is completed, the road will also go to Fort Knox.

The KY 313 extension from Vine Grove to Bran-denburg will be completed in five stages, according to the Kentucky Transporta-tion Cabinet.

A portion of a $112 mil-lion BRAC bond issue will fund the first three proj-ects.

The first section of the project includes the path of the new route between KY 1500 in Vine Grove to Rolling Hills Drive in Meade County.

That stage of the project is estimated to cost nearly $10 million, and is expect-ed to be bid to contractors in August.

The second section of the project is a portion of the route starting at Roll-ing Hills Drive and end-ing just north of Flaherty Elementary.

This section of the proj-

ect is anticipated to cost over $11 million and is expected to be opened for bids in the fall or winter of 2010.

The third section of the project includes the sec-tion of the route from just north of Flaherty Elemen-tary to US 60, and will cost an estimated $8.9 million.

This segment of the pro-posed route is expected to be ready for bids by win-ter 2010 or spring of next year.

The last two sections of the project are still in the design phase, and are cur-rently lacking funding.

The portions were in-cluded in the transpor-tation operating budget featured in the recently passed state budget, but are currently over-pro-grammed, meaning that there are more projects on the board than funding available.

The two sections, from US 60 to north of Holston Road and north of Hol-ston Road to Brandenburg Station Road are being de-signed, but are included with the over-programmed state funding.

The project, which some stages are nearly shovel-ready, has forced Meade County residents such as Snider out of homes that have fostered many warm memories.

“I’d rather stay here for the rest of my life,” Snider said. “But, you can’t stand in the way of progress, if you can call it progress. I don’t.”

BRANDENBURG —

Truck and tractor pull com-petitors from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, and Alabama will fl ock to Brandenburg on Saturday, June 12, for the third annual Matt Pike Memorial Truck & Tractor Pull.

Brothers Neal and Jason Allen, who organize the event each year, expect a record crowd of 4,500 to be in the pulling arena at the Meade County Fairgrounds for the event.

The Allen brothers — along with family members and friends — started the pull two years ago to raise money to carry out the dream of one of their friends, Meade County farmer Matt Pike, who died in 2007 at age 26.

At the time he died, Pike was a fi fth-generation farmer who started farming when he was only 18 fol-lowing the death of his fa-ther. By 2007, he was farm-ing 2,000 acres.

The dream of this avid basketball player was for Meade County to have a place where young people could play organized and pick-up games at no cost in a safe environment.

Thus far, the pull has gen-erated $40,000 to underwrite the cost of remodeling the Meade-Breck Community Center so it will have a full-size, modern basketball fa-cility that will be named the Matt Pike Memorial Gym.

Pulls involving fi ve class-es of vehicles are on the schedule:

•Light limited super stock tractors.

•Pro farm tractors.•Pro stock four-wheel

drive trucks.•Super-modifi ed two-

wheel drive trucks.•Light weight super stock

tractors.The pull here is one of 33

in the Bluegrass Pulling Se-ries that began in April and that will end in October in communities in Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. In addition to cash prizes

awarded at each event, competitors earn points to-wards prizes at the end of each season.

The gates at the fair-grounds will open at 4 p.m., with the pull’s opening cer-emonies scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

While they’re not watch-ing the competition in the arena, those at the event will be able to bid on items at both live and silent auc-tions; listen to the music of “... And The Armed,” a Meade County band; and snack on goodies from the concession stand, where burgers, dogs, nachos, various soft drinks, and ice cream will be on sale from 4 p.m. until the event ends.

Admission is $8, with children two and younger admitted free.

For information, people may call either Jason Allen at 270-668-3017 or Neal Al-len at 270-668-4893.

Information about the Bluegrass Pulling Series can be found online at www.bluegrasspulling.com.

Kentucky Press Association 2009 General Excellence Award

EditorialFor years, the areas affected by Fort Knox have been hear-

ing about the signifi cant changes that will be a part of the ripple affect from BRAC changes at the base.

Residents in the area were promised an infl ux of people, waves of jobs to the region, and noticeable progress.

Most importantly, a riptide of economic growth was sup-posed to crest in the area.

As reported in last week’s issue of The News Standard, recent activity at Fort Knox is a beacon that the transforma-tion is at hand.

At the ribbon cutting of the Lt. Gen. Timothy J. Maude Complex, the Human Resources Center of Excellence, was unveiled, which was a signal that those changes are now coming to fruition.

The building, which is the human resources hub for the entire U.S. Army, will house nearly 4,500 jobs for civilian and military workers.

The complex, which is one of several completed major construction projects due to BRAC, is just one of many ways that BRAC will make marked improvements in Meade and surrounding counties.

The BRAC initiative, when in full swing, will bring nearly 8,000 new jobs to the region.

Many of these people will make Meade County their home, and will help fuel the local economy as they begin to rent and buy houses in the county and shop at local stores.

Not only have there been changes to the Fort Knox land-scape, but it will also be changing the topography of Meade County.

The anticipated population increase due to BRAC has made the expansion of certain roads within the county a ne-cessity.

KY 313 in Vine Grove will be extended to Brandenburg, a process that will include the widening of state highways 448, 144 and other county roadways.

The project is expected to help the fl ow of traffi c and help to ebb congestion on roadways in the wake of a higher con-centration of population.

The road project is funded considerably by BRAC bonds that were issued, which means the county does not have to pay for the improvements.

As the highly anticipated infl uence of BRAC actualizes, the apprehension and doubt in Meade County should wane.

The positive affects of these changes will no doubt make Meade County a better place, and make a huge step toward progress, despite the years we have had to wait.

It has been said good things come to those who wait, and the benefi ts of the BRAC initiative should be well worth it.

We ended the six-day special session by pass-ing a $17 billion two-year spending plan that slashes spending by at least $1 billion from 2009 levels and does not raise a single tax.

Governor Beshear and the General Assembly agreed early in the 2010 regular session — which ended in April — that there would be no new taxes in any budget that was passed. The plan, in-stead, was to reach a deal that would avoid a gov-ernment shutdown while plugging the expected two-year shortfall.

The budget, passed and sent to the governor for his signature last Friday, accomplishes these goals through cuts of 3.5 per-cent in fiscal year 2011 and 4.5 percent in 2012 for most state agencies — with lesser cuts for post-secondary education andcorrections.

It includes increased government efficiencies and funding from the rev-enue plan. Exempt from across-the-board cuts that most agencies will face are Medicaid, merit-based KEES scholarships earned by thousands of Kentucky high school students each year, and per-pupil fund-ing that public schools re-ceive through the state’s SEEK formula designed to equalize education funding among schooldistricts.

The two-year spending plan maintains all 177 in-structional days currently on the public school calen-dar (with one day paid for by school districts and the rest paid for by the state), holds down additional general fund-supported debt, limits agency-fund debt for universities and other entities to around $515 million, adds around $20 million to the state’s “rainy day” budget re-serve trust fund, and al-lows the governor to or-der furloughs without disproportionately target-ing lower-paid workers. Changes to employee and teacher health insurance also ordered by the bud-get are expected to save the state around $94 mil-lion over the two years.

Added to the budget in the final hours of the spe-cial session was a mecha-nism for school districts to fund aging schools most in need of replacement. Under that plan, the state will match funding for districts that levy what is called an “equalizing nickel”, or 5 cents per $100 in property value, to fund facilities construction. The money would only go to so-called “Category 5” schools — those facilities considered to be in the worst shape.

The revenue plan, also given final passage and sent to the governor Fri-day, is expected to save the state upwards of $89 mil-lion over the budget cycle through tax code changes, including modifications to the state’s new home tax credit and a credit for the film industry. Tax incen-

tives to benefit rural and low-income communities through business invest-ment are also part of the revenue legislation.

The Executive Branch budget was the top prior-ity this special session, al-though other state priori-ties were also taken up and approved. One of those priorities was a bill to shore up the state’s ailing Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. That measure — which is similar to a bill that passed the House but stalled in the Senate in the recent regular session — gained success on Friday when it was given final passage in the Senate. The bill now goes to the gover-nor for his signature.

Supporters of the unem-ployment bill say it will help balance the fund that pays weekly benefits to Kentucky’s thousands of unemployed by gradually reducing the percentage of weekly benefits paid by the state and raising the taxable wage base that determines employer pre-miums paid into the fund. Employers are expected to save money under the measure, which became necessary after months of high unemployment forced Kentucky to bor-row hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government to keep the fund afloat.

Agreement on a two-year state road plan and a bill that will fund op-erations of the Transpor-tation Cabinet were given final passage on Saturday afternoon. The bills will provide funding in sev-eral key transportation

areas through 2012, and lawmakers were deter-mined to see the measures passed. Important work on roads, bridges, avia-tion and other areas can continue because of action taken on these bills in spe-cial session.

Sent to the governor for his signature along with the road plan and Trans-portation budget was a list of projects recommended for funding in the last four years of the state’s six-year road plan. Those projects will be completed as funding allows.

Although I was not happy about having to be called in to special ses-sion to perform a job we should have completed in the Regular Session, I am pleased that we were able to finish within the one-week time period we had set for ourselves (al-though we had hoped for five days instead of six). But the good thing is the extra day enabled us to take care of the transpor-tation issues left hanging Friday night as midnight approached.

I will not accept my sal-ary for the special session, instead allowing the state to keep it. Many of my colleagues are making this same choice.

The budget is stark, given our state’s econom-ic situation, but we have hope that our finances will have improved enough by the 2011 regular session that more money can be put into education, human services and other critical areas that have suffered this recession along with so many Kentuckians.

Special session fi nally settles budgetPresident Barack Obama

said at his BP press conference that when he was shaving the other day, his daughter Malia asked him, “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?”

If Obama wanted to give her a quick lesson in how the world works, he might have said: “No, dear, that’s beyond my capacity. I can’t stop oil from gushing from a well 5,000 feet beneath the ocean’s surface. Now, did you do your homework?”

Malia can be forgiven for not understanding the lim-its on her daddy’s power. She’s 11 years old. What’s everyone else’s excuse? If the presidency of the United States is the most powerful and majestic offi ce on Earth, it does not confer omnipo-tence on the mere mortal who happens to occupy it.

Perhaps Obama himself needs to be reminded. A White House aide told a re-porter that the president, in a fi t of frustration, barked to his aides during one meet-ing, “Plug the damn hole.” That’s a meaningless order with the world’s best engi-neers already desperately trying to solve a hellish tech-nical problem.

Since the Obama adminis-tration’s ethic is never to let a crisis go to waste, Obama says the BP disaster means Congress should pass his energy bill and “answer this challenge, once and for all.” As with much of Obama’s agenda, this is a convenient non sequitur posing as an urgent response.

A cap-and-trade bill could have passed years ago and we’d still be drilling offshore. The Outer Continental Shelf

had 4,000 oil and gas facili-ties as of 2002. Obama pro-posed even more offshore drilling just a few weeks be-fore the BP spill, an acknowl-edgment that drilling will be necessary even if he gets his way on an energy bill.

Cap-and-trade will in-crease the cost of petroleum, but not enough to end its usefulness. As Jerry Taylor of the Cato Institute points out, we use 70 percent of our petroleum for trans-portation, simply because nothing else is as effi cient in powering our cars and trucks. In Europe, gas costs $7 a gallon; people still put it in their cars.

At his presser, Obama sought to appear in charge, knowing that anything short of that is politically deadly for a president. But he muddled his message. At times, he acknowledged that BP is taking the lead in the response. And he ad-mitted that he didn’t know whether the head of the Minerals Management Ser-vice resigned or was fi red.

Obama can sound ana-lytic to the point of detach-ment, establishing a critical distance between himself and his own team. Some-times he referred to his own administration as “they” and “the current administra-tion.” As if his role is only to grade the blue books and of-fer constructive criticism.

In the light of his BP ex-perience, one hopes Obama regrets his slam of President Bush for his “unconscionable ineptitude” in responding to Hurricane Katrina, a larger and more rapid-moving, unforgiving crisis. If noth-ing else, it’d be karmic pay-back if critics began accusing Obama of failing to stop the spill because he hates brown pelicans.

“Daddy, why haven’t you saved the birds yet?”

Families must unite to assist a loved one who drinks too much

QUESTION: My hus-band drinks excessively. Aside from getting help for my family, what should I do specifi cally for him? How on earth am I going to get him to go to Alcoholics Anonymous or some simi-lar treatment program? He is deep in denial, and I’m not even sure he’s think-ing right now. He couldn’t make a rational decision to save his life. How am I going to get him to cooper-ate?

DR. DOBSON: You’re right about the diffi culties you face.

Begging won’t accom-plish anything, and your husband will be dead be-fore he admits he has a problem.

Indeed, thousands die each year while denying that they are alcoholics. That’s why Al-Anon teach-es family members how to confront in love.

They learn how to re-move the support systems that prop up the disease and permit it to thrive.

They are shown how and when to impose ultima-

tums that force the alcohol-ic to admit his or her need for help.

And sometimes they rec-ommend separation until the victim is so miserable that his or her denial will no longer hold up.

In essence, Al-Anon teaches its own version of the “love must be tough” philosophy to family mem-bers who must implement it.

I asked one recovered alcoholic I know if he was forced to attend Alcoholics Anonymous -- the program that put him on the road to recovery. He said:

“Let me put it this way. No one goes to A.A. just be-cause they’ve nothing better to do that evening. Every-one there has been forced to attend initially. You just don’t say, ‘On Monday night we watched a football game, and on Tuesday we went to the movies. So what will we do on Wednesday? How about going over to an A.A. meeting?’ It doesn’t work that way. Yes — I was forced — forced by my own misery. Pauline allowed me to be miserable for my own good. It was loving duress that moved me to attend.”

Though it may sound easy to achieve, the loving confrontation that brought Bob to his senses was a delicate maneuver. I must

reemphasize that fami-lies should not attempt to implement it on their own initiative.

Without the training and assistance of professional support groups, the en-counter could degenerate into a hateful, vindictive, name-calling battle that would serve only to solidi-fy the drinker’s position.

Al-Anon Family Groups and Alcoholics Anony-mous are both listed in lo-cal phone books. Also to be found there is a number of the Council on Alcoholism, which can provide further guidance.

For teenagers of an alco-holic parent, there is Ala-teen. Teens can go there and share without their parents’ permission or knowledge, and it’s free.

QUESTION: Children seem to be growing up at a younger age today than in the past. Is this true, and if so, what accounts for their faster development?

DR. DOBSON: Yes, it is true. Statistical records indicate that our children are growing taller today than in the past, probably resulting from better nu-trition, medicine, exercise, rest and recreation.

And this more ideal physical environment has apparently caused sexual maturity to occur

at younger and younger ages.

It is thought that puber-ty in a particular child is triggered when he or she reaches a certain level of growth; therefore, when environmental and gen-eral health factors propel a youngster upward at a faster rate, sexual matura-tion occurs earlier.

For example, in 1850 the average age of menar-che (first menstruation) in Norwegian girls was 17.0 years of age; in 1950, it was 13.0.

The average age of puberty in females had dropped four years in one century. In the United States, the average age of menarche dropped from 16.5 in 1840 to 12.9 in 1950.

More recent figures in-dicate that it now occurs on average at 12.8 years of age. Thus, the trend to-ward younger dating and sexual awareness is a re-sult, at least in part, of this “fast track” mechanism.

Dr. Dobson is founder and chairman of the board of the nonprofit organization Fo-cus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 (www.family.org). Questions and answers are excerpted from “Solid Answers” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both published by Tyndale House.

Grace Baptist Church of Ekron dedicated their Sunday morning Memorial Day weekend service to honor the military soldiers who have served in the past and the present with a ground breaking ceremony for their new memorial site.

Pastor Dan Newton, a U.S. Air Force retired Viet-nam veteran, spoke from his heart during the Sun-day service, and a tearful congregation met his fer-vor in an emotional ser-vice and ceremony.

Taps was played for soldiers past and present. We reflect upon the Bible verse John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

We, at Grace Baptist Church, encourage you to come and see the new me-morial site.

There are plans to add more to the site in the near future. Looking for a great way to

keep up on what’s going on?

Jesus Christ has the fi nal say in a majority vote

I recently heard a story about a man who was tired of friends and fami-lies asking him when he would find a bride and get married.

So, he set a wedding date for a year in the fu-

ture, never mind that he hadn’t found a bride yet.

He appointed a commit-tee of friends and family members to find a mate for him. After several months of searching, the committee finally found what they considered the perfect candidate.

The man and woman were introduced, and they were married on the date the man had previously set. Wouldn’t it be inter-esting to see how this mar-

riage stands up to the test of time?

The committed, without even consulting the bride-groom, made a decision that should have been the bridegroom’s decision to make.

Isn’t it sad today that many of the decisions made by the “Bride of Christ”, the church, are made in the same way?

Too often in the church, significant decisions are made by majority rule,

without ever consulting Jesus, the bridegroom of the church.

Let us never forget that committees and majority votes cannot be allowed to have the ultimate author-ity in our congregations.

Jesus Christ, the one who gave his life for his church, must always have the ultimate authority and the final say.

was sidelined at the 3rd Region Class 3A and state track meets.

He was forced to sit out after an injury sustained by the impact of the bal-loon caused his eye to swell up, and even threatened to leave him hampered with a long-term loss of vision.

“It literally looked like somebody got a baseball bat and swung it at his face,” Garner said. “It was gruesome.”

Breeds has bleeding be-hind his retina, and the ex-tent of the damage is still unclear.

An optomologist has warned of the possibil-ity of long term damage, and even said that surgery may be necessary in the near future, according to Garner.

The recent injuries at the water fight have prompted the track coach to become

more vocal about his op-position of the tradition.

Garner said he has no problem with seniors hav-ing fun, but thinks some-thing should be done now that injuries are becom-ing more prevalent at the

water fight.“This was not a random,

isolated event. This is, to me, getting worse and worse and worse every year,” Garner said. “This is the culminating point. When somebody gets

hurt, I have to speak out. I wish this was something I would have spoken out about three or four years ago. It doesn’t hurt for us, as responsible adults, to take measures to ensure the safety of our kids.”

Turning yards into a piece of art, one job at a timeBy Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

To Eli Dix, mowing lawns and landscaping is more than just a job: it’s an art form.

Dix is the owner of Eli’s Lawn Service, a two-year-old business he runs out of his home on Weldon Road. The business offers many servic-es to refresh a lawn such as spring-cleaning, mowing and landscaping.

Though, 22-year-old Dix’s sights weren’t always set on working outdoors. At fi rst, Dix went to college to be-come a teacher. However, he soon found teaching wasn’t his calling.

“I always wanted to be-come a teacher, that’s what I wanted to do,” Dix said. “But, I just didn’t get into school much.”

Fortunately, a golden op-portunity to work in Fort Knox landscaping, presented itself. Dix had been interested in this fi eld and the Fort Knox job seemed like a good place to get his feet wet.

“I like being able to take something that looks like nothing and make it look good,” Dix said.

Though local opportunities within the community have been limited, the two-man team making up Eli’s Lawn Service are anxious to show their potential.

For example, Dix and business partner Chris

Wardrip had a landscap-ing job that took a week to complete because the cus-tomer’s yard was destroyed by fl ooding. They brought in three dump truck loads of dirt, installed a draining system and planted grass.

“It was a big job but it was worth it,” Dix said. “It paid off … It looks a lot better because he had ruts in his yard. So it really worked.”

When it comes to mowing, Dix said it’s all about chang-ing the routine to keep lawns looking their best.

“Every time we mow a yard, we mow it a different way, that way its helps the grass grow better,” Dix said. “People mow in circles … that’s OK but that’s not really good for the grass.”

With each job completed, Dix feels a sigh of relief, knows he did a good job, and looks forward to the next lawn where he can add his personal touch.

“After you mowed a yard you can tell that you’ve done something,” Dix said. “To see that fi nal product like that, I can’t explain how good it feels.”

Wardrip agreed with Dix, adding that the best feeling is knowing he put a lot of effort into improving a lawn.

“It’s something you can step back and look at and see you’ve done something,” Wardrip said.

For Wardrip, working at

Eli’s Lawn Service means not having to stay inside an offi ce all day.

“Being in the sunshine is awesome, you can’t beat it,” Wardrip said. “I hate being inside. So it’s ideal.”

Eli’s Lawn Service is in its infancy, but Dix can’t wait to thrive and expand his business.

Dix said his business prides itself on customer service and promises to do everything it can to make lawns look better.

“We work really good with our customers,” Dix said. “If they have a problem, they can call us. If they say ‘oh you missed a spot’ or ‘you didn’t mow here,’ we’re willing to

go back … we want to make our customers happy. People count on us to make their yards look good.”

As for the future of Eli’s Lawn Service, Dix plans to create his own shop and get more equipment for snow and dirt removal. He also wants to go more in depth with his landscaping abilities

and create a picture book oflandscaping projects he hascompleted.

“Landscaping is somethingI’d really like to do,” he said.“I’d like to do it all.”

Eli’s Lawn Service is lo-cated on 710 Weldon Rd inBrandenburg. For more infor-mation about the business call270-945-2142 or 270-998-0020.

New program to help homeowners feeling ‘underwater’ with bills

DOLLARS AND SENSEBY David Uffi ngton

The Home Affordable Refinance Program has been extended, which is good news for potentially millions of homeowners. Set to expire this summer, the program now will run until June 2011.

HARP is aimed at hom-eowners of properties that are currently worth less than what is due on the note, known as being “un-derwater.”

Because of the home-price declines of a still-failing housing market, more and more people are experiencing the loss of equity in their homes.

While most underwater homeowners continue to make payments and are current, it’s been report-ed that when homeown-ers face losses of equity of more than 25 percent, defaults and foreclosures increase.

Foreclosures are up to 4.6 percent of all home-owners now.

Some merely walk away from the house when all hope of regaining equity is lost.

Without solid loan-to-value numbers, a hom-eowner can’t refinance. Without good apprais-al numbers — because neighborhood values have fallen — there is no refi-nance.

Homeowners can’t sell their homes, either, if they’ll still owe more than they can get for the house.

In many cases, the un-derwater homeowner is not at fault.

Unemployment can cause whole neighbor-hoods to fall, as own-ers sell at low prices one

step ahead of foreclosure, bringing down values.

To qualify for the refi-nance program:

• You must be current on your mortgage.

• Only Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans can participate.

• The lender must ap-prove and agree to rewrite the balance of the loan and take at least 10 percent off the principal.

• After the refinance, the mortgage amount can-not exceed 115 percent of the value of the home.

• The new mortgage payments must be less than 31 percent of your income.

• The property must be your primary home.

• If you have a second mortgage, the first and second will be combined.

• Your FICO credit score must be 500 or above.

If you have an interest-only loan or an interest rate that will rise, a HARP refinance can help sta-bilize your payments by giving you a fixed rate.

If you have a high in-terest-rate loan, a HARP refinance can help reduce your payments.

Most of us remember the terrible tomato season we had last year. The weather was ideal for the disease early blight and late blight to run ramped.

This year’s weather so far has not started out in the to-mato plant’s favor. Already some cases of late blight have been confi rmed in Kentucky.

The following article by Dr. Kenny Seebold, University of Kentucky Plant Pathologist, explains the disease.

On May 27, University of Kentucky confi rmed a case of late blight on tomatoes from a home garden in the northern Kentucky area. Since that fi rst report, additional cases have been found in Fayette and Clark Counties, and it’s likely

that there are more. In most years, we expect to

see very little of this disease and only then at the end of the summer. This marks the second year in a row that this devastating disease of tomato has appeared earlier-than-expected.

The weather conditions that we face for the coming week, fortunately, do not fa-vor development and spread of late blight. Still, it’s likely that the disease has become established in some areas, and we need to be on guard.

Taking preventive action is key, and this means be-ing on a regular fungicide schedule. The following is a brief description of late blight and some controls that may be applied.

Late blight is caused by Phytophthora infestans, a fungus-like organism, and is a fast-moving and highly de-structive disease of tomatoes and potatoes under cool and wet conditions.

Late blight epidemics in the late 1840’s were responsible for the Irish potato famine and subsequent migration of millions of people to the Unit-ed States.

All plant parts are affected, including fruit and tubers. To-tal losses are common in gar-dens and fi elds if control mea-sures are not put in place. Late blight can easily enter green-houses and high tunnels as well. Early symptoms of late blight are large water-soaked blotches on foliage that will enlarge and form green-to-brown lesions.

Sporulation may be evident on the undersides of lesions under moist conditions; this sporulation will be gray to white in color. Necrotic leaf tissue will blacken and shriv-el, giving affected plants a blighted appearance.

The pathogen will also at-tack petioles and stems, kill-ing the plant in some cases.

Tomato fruit affected by late blight develop as darkened

spots that enlarge over time, and fungal growth may be seen in rotted tissue. Infected fruit are invaded by second-ary organisms and develop soft rot.

Potato tubers can become infected from spores washed from leaves into the soil and will decay.

Preventive fungicide ap-plications are recommended at this point for all Kentucky tomato and potato growers to help combat late blight, and also early blight and septoria (tomato). Growers should not wait to see symptoms of late blight before treating. A good protectant program aimed at late-blight prevention will also aid against other foliar fungal diseases. During fa-vorable conditions, sprays need to be made every fi ve to seven days, and every seven to 10 days during drier weather.

If late blight is found, growers should immediately destroy plants in the affected

area plus bordering plants (as these are likely infected). Plants can be sprayed with an herbicide, or removed and disked under.

Do not handle plants when they are wet, as this may spread disease; perform this operation when conditions are sunny and dry if possible.

At the end of the season, promptly destroy crop resi-dues. Do not leave cull piles out in the open, as the patho-gen can spread or potentially survive in this residue. Bury this material if at all possible.

Regular scouting of plant-ings, and prompt removal of infected plants is an impor-tant consideration.

In home gardens, regular application of fungicides is less common than in commer-cial fi elds. Few fungicides are available to home gardeners; however, products contain-ing chlorothalonil, maneb/mancozeb, or fi xed copper are the tools of choice.

These should be applied

regularly, and the user should refer to the product label for rates, PHI, and safety precau-tions. These products, as men-tioned earlier, will not func-tion well if pressure is high or if disease is present before spray programs are started.

Control measures for or-ganic producers are similar to those recommended for home gardeners. OMRI-approved fungicides such as fi xed-cop-per (depends on the product) can be used in a preventive program.

Other OMRI-approved products include: Sporatec, Sonata, Serenade Max, Oxi-date, and Companion. As with the protectants recom-mended for home gardeners, these products do not per-form well under high disease pressure or if disease is pres-ent prior to treatment. Con-sult product labels for rates, PHI, and safety precautions.

Horse shows feature descendants of Man O’ WarBy Casey Tolliver

The News Standard

The Meade County Sad-dle Club has kicked off its summer series of open horse shows.

Competitors gathered at the Saddle Club’s arena on Fackler Road in Webster for the fi rst show on May 30 and then again on June 4.

Cowboys and cowgirls from across the state and even a few from neighbor-ing states competed at the fi rst two shows, which fea-tured some of the best quar-ter horses in the world.

“We’ve got some of the baddest cattle horses in the world here,” Meade County Saddle Club president Scot-ty Padgett said. “There’s horses here that can go and play the game anywhere.”

Several of the horses at the show have competed in the American Quarter Horse Association World Champi-onships in Oklahoma City.

Out of those horses are two Meade County horses that are descendants of leg-endary thoroughbred race horse Man O’ War.

Warpion, a quarter horse who shares a bloodline horse racing royalty, is owned by James and Martha Camp-

bell, of Ekron, competed in the show as well.

The blonde Palomino, who was ridden by James in the competition, is a four-time AQHA pole bending world champion, including two Palomino World Cham-pionships and two AQHA World Championships.

The world class horse, who has competed in nine world championship

shows, usually fi nishes in the top three and has never fi nished outside of the top 10, Martha said.

James, who rode horses when he was younger, hadn’t ridden a horse in nearly 20 years, but that all changed when the Camp-bells got Warpion, accord-ing to Martha.

“When I brought War-pion home, he said ‘Martha,

I want to show that horse,’” she said.

Kid O’ War, who is War-pion’s colt, also competed in the show and was ridden by the Campbell’s daughter, Courtney Campbell Wilson.

The colt shares the same birthday as his dignifi ed forefather, Man O’ War. Both horses were born on March 29.

The family, who are mem-

bers of the Saddle Club, has sold Warpion’s colts to horse enthusiasts in many places, including New Jer-sey, Florida, and Pennsylva-nia, and was even contacted by and sold a colt to a buyer in Brazil.

Warpion and Kid O’War shared the arena on May 30 with riders of all ages and experience levels poised on quarter horses from across the state and even a few neighboring states and competed in barrel and pole riding competitions.

Riders wove in and out of barrels to see who could get through the course the fastest

When the dust settled, many Meade County resi-dents found their names at the top of the score card.

In the pee-wee post, Mekenzee Dawson, Jes-sie Gontermon and Taylor Ray placed fi rst second and third.

Mia Ward and Skylar Mills also participated in the event.

In the youth barrel race, Montana Metcalf won fi rst and second, while Shel-by Headlye also ran the course.

In the junior horse poles category, Amanda Hudson

placed fi rst and third, and Rita Mills came in second.

Brian Foushee won the open pole class, and was followed by Jim Campbell, who came in second place. Amanda Hudson placed third and Tommy Stinson came in fourth.

Haley Carman, Jessie Gonterman, Abbee Lyons, Mekenzee Dawson and Taylor Ray were the top fi ve in the pee-wee barrels.

T.J. Hagen, Kevin Isham, and Tommy Stinson were the top three contenders in the fl ag class.

In the youth poles, Heather Ray, Orry Williams and Brina Williams placed fi rst second and third.

Amanda Hudson, Tiffa-ny Corder and Robert Mc-Million competed in the ju-nior horse barrels division.

In the adult barrels, John Perkins, Lucas Monroe and Melissa Gonterman each ran the course.

The top three competi-tiors in the open barrels class were Chuck Wathen, Bradee Addison and Mon-tana Metcalf.

The club will be hosting six more shows this sum-mer–one more in June, two in July, two in August and one in September.

By Ben AchtabowskiThe News Standard

The Daviess County Panthers played a near-perfect fi rst fi ve innings during the 3rd Region Baseball Tournament semifi -nals game played on June 3, in Whitesville, Ky., while Meade County Greenwave’s blemishes cost them an early defi cit.

Three Meade County errors in the fi rst three innings resulted in three un-earned runs for Daviess County who went on to win 5-1.

“You can’t make mistakes early against a good team,” said Meade County head coach Todd Clanton. “We’ve talked about that against Ballard and Butler and it seemed to come up again against Daviess County.”

Two weeks earlier Meade County faced tough teams such as Ballard and Butler where errors proved to be the difference between a win and a loss.

“We’ve been fi elding all week,” said senior outfi elder JB Greer. “That’s some-thing we focus on but errors happen. They just came at the wrong time.”

Daviess County gave the Greenwave a little taste of their own medicine by playing small ball. There were several bunt situations that were executed and they received timely hits with runners in scoring position.

In a perfectly executed suicide bunt play during the third inning, Daviess

Just one swing of the bat separated the Meade County Lady Waves soft-ball team from their sec-ond consecutive appear-ance in the 3rd Region Championship game.

In a gridlock 11-in-ning marathon of a game — which included an hour-long rain delay — No. 10 Butler County hit a walk-off, two-run homer in the bottom of the 11th to win the game, 2-0 on June 3.

“It was just a tough game and they came out

on top,” said senior sec-ond baseman Mallory Wa-then. “They got the timely hit and we didn’t.”

In a pitcher’s dual, Lady Waves starting sophomore pitcher Amanda Logsdon and Butler County’s junior pitcher Cheyanne Gaskey went toe-to-toe. However, it was Butler County’s se-nior catcher Kristin Palm-er who belted a shot over the left fi eld fence to end the game.

“I’m sad and disap-pointed in myself,” Logs-don said, who gave up the home run on a rise pitch. “I think they just

kind of knew what was coming. They saw me for 11 innings. Any batter is going to know what’s coming after seeing (a pitcher) that much.”

Logsdon threw a near-perfect game and al-lowed only three hits in 11 innings. She gave up the fi rst hit in the second inning and didn’t allow another hit until the bot-tom of the fi nal inning.

“Amanda Logsdon pitched one heck of a game,” Meade County head coach Mike Harreld

Marathon game ends with home run, ends Lady Waves remarkable season


Though last week’s sea-son-ending 3rd Region Tournament loss is still fresh in the Meade County Green-wave baseball team, the leaps and bounds the pro-gram has made the last three years have been astounding.

“With tears in my eyes, the fi rst thing that comes to mind is sadness,” senior outfi elder JB Greer said af-ter playing his last game at Meade County. “But really, I should be joyful to have the opportunity to be a Green-wave. It’s a sense of pride.”

With back-to-back district championships, the Green-wave claimed its fi rst win-ning season in more than 10 years. In 2006 the team was only able to make it to .500 with a 16-16 record and was 14-14 in 2002.

Last year, the team barely missed out on a .500 record (12-16), but won its fi rst dis-trict title since 2007. Meade County lost in the fi rst round of the 3rd Region Tournament to eventual state qualifi er Owensboro High School, but this year the team progressed and won its fi rst region tour-nament game since 2006. Again, the Greenwave lost to eventual state qualifi er Daviess County.

“I feel like we’re heading into the right direction,” second year head coach Todd Clanton said. “We de-serve to play in these kind of games and we didn’t luck into them. That’s where we are at right now.”

If the Greenwave contin-ues to improve, they should be region contenders the next few years. They return six starters next year with a deep class of incoming juniors.

Led by battery Bo Wilson and Brady Smith, the team returns pivotal players such as incoming senior outfi eld-er Brenton Smith, senior second baseman Scott King and sophomore fi rst base-man Jake Wilson.

The team graduates three starters — seven seniors in all. During their sophomore year the team hit an all-time low when they went 5-15 and lost in the opening round of the district tournament

“If you would have asked me two years ago, I would have had much to say,” Greer said about the grueling 2008

Junior Zach Bowen fi nished 20th at the state meet in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:14.54.


Meade County High School track and fi eld head coach Larry Garner had fl ashes of last year’s state track meet during the fi rst hour of Sat-urday’s 3A state meet at the University of Louisville.

Last year’s meet was not a good day for Garner and his team, who only man-aged to put three runners on the podium.

“It started out just as aw-ful as last year,” Garner said. “The girls 4x800 absolutely tanked. They ran 40 seconds slower than last year. I was worried to death that it was going to be like last year. But as the day went on things defi nitely got better.”

The girls 4x800-meter re-lay struggled in the mid-day sun where hot temperatures and muggy air played a vis-ible part in the slow times.

“I died, I admit it,” Carly Evans said, who ran the

third leg of the relay and la-bored the last 200 meters. “I was dead legged.”

“The 4x800 was the most upsetting for me because I really wanted to win that one — and we could have,” said junior Tiffany Brown. “But the heat got to us.”

The momentum turned around for Meade County when junior Cody Stockwell placed a surprising sixth place in the discus throw. Earlier in the week, Stock-well didn’t even know if he was going to qualify for the state meet. He ended up be-ing the third to last thrower to make the cut.

“Cody Stockwell really started the day off for us,” Garner said. “He wasn’t even supposed to be in the top nine fi nishers. He had an amazing performance.”

Stockwell threw 144 feet and 5 inches, nearly 18 feet further than he threw at the

region meet. The throw was also 13 feet further than his personal best.

“That’s hard to do,” he said. “When you’re getting up in the numbers I am at, it’s hard to do. I just practiced. All this week I knew what I was screwing up all year and I wanted to fi x it at state.”

Stockwell may have found a new way to wear his jersey, too. He was unaware that he had worn his shirt inside out the entire day.

“I didn’t know it was in-side out,” he said, laugh-ing and looking down at his backwards “MC” on his shirt. “I’m going to wear this jersey all next year. When I give this to coach I’m going to put my name on it so I’ll have it next year.”

The fi rst place fi nisher, Male’s senior Kyle Jenkins, threw 193 feet good enough for the 3A state record. Stock-well not only has his eyes set for a fi rst place fi nish next year, but also the state record.

“The top fi nishers were all seniors,” he said. “Going into next year I’m fi rst al-ready. It’s going to be excit-ing. I’m hoping to beat Kyle Jenkin’s record.

“One-hundred and ninety-three was my bus number when I was little. I think that’s an omen.”

The boys 4x800-meter re-lay team fi nished in seventh place with a time of 8:19.23.

“We’ve never placed in this relay,” Garner said. “We fi nished seventh. We were hoping to place last year. They ran well — it wasn’t their best time — but they got to the podium.”

The day progressed at the University of Louisville track along with Meade County’s times.

Carly Evans fi nished sixth in the long jump and fourth in the 200-meter dash. She admitted that starting the day with the 4x800-meter re-lay event drained her energy.

“I don’t think I ever recov-ered from that,” she said. “I know that I was tired but I kept pushing all day. I beat Ballard (in the 200-meter dash). I was trying to beat her. She beat me at (the sea-son’s fi rst indoor meet at the University of Kentucky), so I wanted to beat her badly.”

During the fi nal event, the 4x400-meter relay, Evans helped the team to a second place fi nish in the state. They were edged out by three-time state champions Campbell County.

Evans was the anchor of the relay team but was un-able to catch the state’s best 400-meter runner, Anna Carrigan.

“She’s a quick runner,” Ev-ans said of Carrigan. “Coach Garner told me she was a fast runner, but we’ve never ran against them. We did a good

job. They didn’t get that win easily. I didn’t want to just hand them the win. They were going to have to work for it.”

“Their anchor is an amaz-ing runner,” Garner added. “Even if Carly would have gotten the baton side by side, it would have been tough. (Carrigan) has never been beaten in the 400.”

During the second leg of the race, senior Shelby Jen-kins was surrounded by run-ners and was unable to make a move to break out.

“I think we could have won,” said Marley Stanfi eld, who also fi nished fourth in the 400-meter dash. “If we didn’t get trapped like that we would have won.”

Meade County did have the best time heading into the event, but only by three-tenths of a second.

“We knew it was going to be neck-and-neck,” Garner said. “We knew we had to run a perfect race to beat Campbell County. We ran a really good race but to beat them you have to run per-fect. They are the three time state champion.”

Leaping over a momen-tous mental hurdle, Brown fi nished fi fth in the state in the 300-meter hurdles. Dur-ing the previous years, she has tripped over a hurdle at the state meet and did not reach the top-eight podium, even though she was ranked in the top four each year.

“I got over that,” Brown said, who also fi nished 11th in the 100-meter hurdles. “Now I just need to run faster. I don’t know, I don’t think of it as a different race, but I guess it just gets at me. I could have ran a lot faster than I did.”

Tiffany ran more than two seconds slower than her fast-est time, which would have put her in the top three.

“She still didn’t run a great time,” Garner said. “She placed. I think it was just fi n-ishing that race. At least we didn’t have to carry her off the track this time. Hopefully this will catapult her into next year. Maybe next year she can make a run for fi rst place.”

Junior Tyler Blair compet-ed in the 1,600-meter run and the 3,200-meter run and fi n-ished 14 and 21 respectively.

“He struggled in the mile, but the two-mile he looked good,” Garner said. “He ran a fi ve second (personal re-cord).”

Junior Zach Bowen fi n-ished 20th in the 800-me-ter run, while sophomore LeAnna Luney fi nished in 19th in the shot put. The boys 4x400-meter relay fi n-ished 14th.

Overall, the girls team fi n-ished 11th in the state, while the boys team fi nished in 23rd. Male won the over-all boys championship and Campbell County took the girls state crown.

“Again, I’m pretty proud of the team,” Garner said. “I

wasn’t happy at the start of the day, but now I am. The girls 4x400-meter team really fi nished off a good day.”

season. “Now I have pride. I know everything is going in the right direction.”

“We were young my sophomore year,” senior pitcher and shortstop Justin Amburgey said. “We stuck together and played hard. Most players would quit af-ter a season like that. But we stuck together and fought hard as a team.”

The group of seniors didn’t quit and soon had a new coaching staff heading into the 2009 season.

Clanton came in with the group of talented freshmen and committed junior class. The fi rst season saw marked improvement as the team re-corded seven more wins than the previous year.

The two-year coach has a .492 winning percentage and has changed the Greenwave baseball culture to a winning tradition from a losing one.

“We’re turning it around,” Bo Wilson said after win-ning the district champion-ship. “This program was a little weak but coach Clanton came in and turned things around. We’ve gone to work. There’s a lot more passion and emotion. People care about it now.”

The caring also started

with the senior class. The close-knit group of players has been the focal point of the program’s turnaround.

Daniel DeRossett was the team’s No. 3 hitter while providing power and con-sistency. Greer captained the team on and off the fi eld, Amburgey was fundamen-tally sound, while Tyler Yates had one of the biggest end-of-the-season hitting streaks to help the Greenwave get over the .500 mark.

“It was awesome play-ing with these guys,” Greer said. “It’s one of those bonds that you can’t put in words. We’re not going to the same colleges next year. This is my last opportunity to be together and be a part of something together.”

After the loss to Daviess County, the team embraced the senior group. Tears were shed and memories were made.

“It’s the little things that you’re going to remember,” Greer said. “Those are the special times that are going to stick with us for the rest of our lives.”

But new memories are still going to be made as the program progresses into the future. Now it’s time to prog-ress forward even further.

“The senior class has kind of lit the torch, now it’s time for the younger guys to carry it on,” Clanton said.

said of his pitcher who faced 39 batters, walked one and had a season-high 10 strikeouts. “She deserves to win the game. I don’t think I’ve seen her pitch as well as she did all year long. You can’t take anything away from her.”

The game was Logsdon’s longest outing as a Lady Wave and ended the season with an 18-5 record.

“This is probably one of the longest games I’ve ever pitched,” she said. “Your adrenaline kicks in half-way through the game. It’s nerve-racking and you can defi nitely feel the pressure out there.”

While Logsdon was ev-ery bit of a shutout pitcher, her counterpart from Butler County was just as good. She only allowed the Lady Waves offense six hits in the game, which was the fi rst time the offense had been shut out this year.

“We had plenty of oppor-tunities to score,” Harreld said. “Their pitcher is ev-erything they said she was. That was the fi rst time we were shut out this year.”

Wathen, sophomore Kristin Benton, eighth-grader Ashley Nikolao, junior Scarlett Powers, senior Erin Sireno and sophomore Nicole Brown each had a hit in the game. However, the team left 10 runners on base.

“We faced a really good pitcher,” Sireno said. “She had a great riseball. A lot of us fall for that pitch because it’s up at our eyes. We were all swinging at it and we fell for her curveball, too.”

With one out during the bottom of the ninth inning, the game was delayed an

hour due to lightning. The break actually relieved some of Logsdon’s tension.

“It helped calm me down. It gave me a breath-er,” she said. “It felt like I was out there a lot because there were back to back three outs for both teams. It relaxed me and I cooled down. I came out a little bit stronger after that.”

Once the teams resumed the game, Wathen opened up the offense for the Lady Waves with a triple at the top of the 10th inning with one out. She was stranded on third after a pop up caught in foul territory and a strikeout.

“You’re on third base and one out and you have your two, three batters up, how could you not think you’re going to score,” Wathen said. “Everyone did what they could. No one should feel down about anything.”

The Lady Waves had a similar opportunity in the eighth inning, with the bas-es loaded and Wathen on third base. The team only had one out but was unable to score the go-ahead run. Harreld sheered away from bunting the run in.

“We had an opportunity to do something,” Harreld said. “As I was coming off (the field), I knew I should have bunt with Scarlett Powers and their first baseman playing so deep. It’s one of those things where I should have done it that time.”

“Again, bases loaded one out and you have our best hitters on the team up to bat,” Wathen said. “I mean we just couldn’t get a hit. That’s pretty much it.”

The missed opportunities and the one pitching mis-take, which resulted in a home run, ended the Lady Waves season. The team fi nished 32-6.

Meade County only had

two seniors on its roster — Wathen and Sireno. With both seniors playing on the right side of the fi eld and batting at the top of the lineup the holes will not be easily fi lled.

“I don’t know if we’ve had any better than those two, and we’ve had some good ones come through here,” Harreld said. “They are classy kids and they work extremely hard. They want to win as bad as any-one. We’re going to miss those two a lot.”

The senior duo will play college softball next year — Wathen at Campbellsville and Sireno at Bellarmine.

“It would be a lot sad-der if me and Erin weren’t going to play college ball next fall,” Wathen said. “It’s still sad. We’re not go-ing to step out with these teammates anymore.”

The team does return eight starters including both of the teams top pitch-ers — Logsdon and sopho-more Brittany Lancaster. The two of them tallied for all 32 wins this season and pitched 236 innings.

“I think our pitchers will have to work hard this winter,” Harreld said. “The kids will have a lot of work to do. Next year we’re going to have to tighten up the schedule a little bit. We have to be used to seeing pitching like we did tonight.”

Sireno feels confi dent that she is leaving a team ready to go contend for a state title next season.

“I think they can go all the way next year,” she said. “They are ready to be the leaders. Even this year, me and Mallory had to re-mind them that they were still juniors. I think they are already great leaders and they should have a great senior year.”

County scored its fifth run of the game, while sopho-more pitcher Bo Wilson fielded the ball and threw it to first. The ball clipped freshman first baseman Jake Wilson’s glove and rolled into foul territory, rendering the runner safe at first.

The play not only ex-tended Daviess County’s lead, 5-0, but it encapsu-lated how the game went for Meade County: Good for the Panthers, bad for the Greenwave

“If we don’t make the errors we’re looking at a 2-1 game,” Clanton said. “Then we are able to do some things.”

Nerves may have played a role in the er-rors. This was the furthest the Greenwave have been in the region tournament in three years.

“This is the biggest game we’ve played in and you can tell early,” Clanton said. “We started to settle down later in the

game but then we’re in a hole.”

The offense picked it up in the fourth inning where junior outfielder Brenton Smith broke up Daviess County junior pitcher Mitchell Owens’s no-hitter with a single.

During the sixth in-ning, Smith scored Meade County’s lone run when senior third baseman Daniel DeRossett hit a two-out double.

The offense was able to scatter five hits in the game, despite hitting the ball consistently into the field of play.

“We got down and it’s tough to come back when you hit some hard balls but it’s right at their play-ers,” Clanton said. “You feel like you can’t get a break. I give credit to them (Daviess County) for making the plays.”

Bo Wilson took the mound and had a solid performance despite the score.

“It was a gusty perfor-mance,” Clanton said of his pitcher who went six in-nings, gave up two earned runs and struck out four.

“His ankle was still bother-ing him. He battled. Errors can sometimes change the way the scoreboard looks even though he pitched a good game.”

Wilson injured his ankle during the 11th District Championship game where he was hit with a line drive on May 25. Since that game, the Greenwave played only one game, which was the region opener on May 31.

Rain postponed the Greenwave’s game against Daviess County for two days. That may have affected Meade County, too, according to Clanton.

“I think it was tough,” he said. “I think the kids were ready to play and we were in a groove. Then you’re back to practice and your going over the fundamentals. It’s hard to keep your focus. It’s June and you just want to play.”

The loss ended the Greenwave season. The team went 19-16, which included its second 11th District Championship in a row.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Ev-ery year, during production of Kentucky’s annual hunt-ing and trapping regula-tion guide, I get to peruse photos, letters and offi cial scoring sheets from hunters who took Kentucky’s largest deer the previous season. I always enjoy seeing these incredible animals, all of them evidence of a healthy and thriving deer herd.

These deer and the hunt-ers who spend months or even years pursuing them put Kentucky in the top fi ve states in the country for deer considered trophies under the Boone and Crockett Club scoring system. But this year, something else stood out.

All of our previous trophy deer lists had one thing in common – the hunters were almost always male. In fact, in fi ve years of producing our guide I had received only one trophy deer taken by a female hunter.

But this year was different. Four of the 40 deer currently on the list were taken by women. Even more impres-sively, three of those women are teenagers.

Andrea Davis, a 19-year-old hunter from Ohio County, took a 14-point buck with typical antlers that scored 165 1/8 in the Boone and Crockett

Club’s offi cial scoring system. She thinks this year’s results are part of an overall trend. She says more girls and wom-en are hunting deer.

“I’m seeing a lot of kids go-ing hunting with their dads,” Davis said. “I think women are seeing what’s out there, what they can bring home.”

Davis was hunting with her father Thanksgiving morning in Muhlenberg County when they heard antlers crashing near the edge of a Conserva-tion Reserve Program fi eld. They were on their way to a tree stand, but the sound of nearby deer changed their plans.

“We just sat down right there,” Davis said. “We saw two does, but they busted us. Then we saw a 9-pointer. I was getting ready to shoot him, but decided to wait.”

The wait paid off when the trophy 14-pointer stepped out of the woods. “All I could say was, ‘Horns!’” Davis re-membered. “My dad told me, ‘Please don’t look at the horns.’ I braced my gun on a little sapling and took a shot.”

The deer ran only 40 yards after the 20-yard shot from Davis’s .30-06.

Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Bryant of Meade County shot her fi rst buck on opening day of the 2009 season. The 22-point deer with non-typi-cal antlers scored 196 6/8.

“I’ve always wanted to get

a buck because of my dad and my uncle,” Bryant said. “It’s always been in my family. And I’m not going to stop.”

Two more female hunters round out this unprecedented year. Spencer County’s Mi-chaella “Mikie” Monroe was just 14 years old when she shot the biggest deer taken in Kentucky for the 2009-10 season. The buck scored an incredible 219 5/8, putting it in the top 30 deer with non-typical antlers ever taken in Kentucky. Mitzi Mobley of Berea shot a 160 4/8 typical buck in Madison County.

I hope these four women are a sign of even better things to come for Kentucky hunting.

More women in the fi eld may be one of our best chances to turn around a decline in hunter numbers. And with deer like these, it’s easy to see what’s in it for the hunters themselves.

“I’ve hunted since I was 12 and the only bucks I’ve gotten have been spikes,” Davis said. “So anything can happen at any time.”

The 2010-11 Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide, available in early July, will in-clude a complete list of trophy deer from the 2009-10 season, as well as several photographs of the deer and their hunters.

The guide will be avail-able online at www.fw.ky.gov and wherever hunt-ing licenses are sold.

Former and current members of Meade County High School’s Madrigals lent a helping hand in the community Saturday as they performed and served food to the traveling Good Sam’s Club at the Farm Bu-reau Building.

“I think it’s a great oppor-tunity for the high school students to connect with the community,” said for-mer assistant choir director Mary “Gibbie” Horsley.

According to Horsley, the Madrigals began perform-ing at this event almost 11 years ago with the help of former choir director Shir-ley Jones and former CAPS president Debbie Sim-mons.

In fact, Simmons said the connection between the Good Sam’s Club and the Madrigals started simply through a dare. The Good Sam’s Club had hired ca-terers without much suc-cess due to food restrictions from some of its members.

Simmons said they knew of a group of students who could serve healthy dinners and add some entertain-ment, but no one thought she could do it.

The Madrigals proved themselves from the begin-ning. The fi rst performance went great and they ca-tered to everyone’s needs when serving the food.

According to Kentucky State Director Diane Mulkins, the Good Sam’s Club is a traveling organi-zation that makes different stops with other chapters

around the country. Their goal is to raise money for the community, but have fun at the same time.

Some of the fun and laughs include poking fun at one of their members for running over an orange safety cone, playing golf cart baseball and beanbag baseball.

“It’s like a big family re-union,” Mulkins said. “We have a lot of fun.”

Mulkins added that the money they raised in Bran-denburg would benefi t the Crusade for Children.

Much like Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts, Good Sam’s Club members are given a vest to distinguish themselves and after at-tending “samborees” or participating in events, they received patches.

Door prizes such as cash, grilling items, t-shirts and candy were given out by members of the Good Sam’s Club.

Towards the end of the event, the Madrigals stu-dents performed a variety of songs for the Good Sam’s Club, including some rou-tines from the 33rd Annual Wave Review.

“It’s a good group,” Sim-mons said. “It’s a win, win situation.”

The full list of perform-ers include:

•Alexis Cundiff sang “I Can’t Say No,” from the musical Oklahoma.

•Chase McIntosh and Andrew Hubbard per-formed “Your Guardian Angel,” by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

•The Madrigals per-

formed the song “Little Shop of Horrors.”

•Andrew Butler and Chase McIntosh performed “I Gotta Find You,” from the musical Camp Rock.

•Kelsey Adams, Shay McCleavy and Megan Swinehart performed “Easy Street,” from Annie.

•Stephanie Whelan sang “I Will Always Love You,” by Whitney Houston.

•Brianna Stewart and Ka-Lyn Stewart sang “Hakuna Matata,” from the Lion King.

•Shay McCleavy sang “Some Enchanted Eve-ning,” from South Pacifi c.

•Kelsey Adams per-formed a song from the Little Mermaid.

•The Madrigals per-formed the title song from the musical Fame.

Local students recently got a chance to reach for the stars and learned to see the world beyond their back yards.

Flaherty Elementary held its fi rst Telescope Camp Monday, for approximately 23 fi fth and sixth graders from various local schools. Students were chosen be-cause of high MAP test scores and were considered the top in their class.

“The goal of this camp is to excite and educate these kids, open their eyes and possibly give them a career path,” said Henry Sipes, the mastermind behind the camp.

When Flaherty Elementa-ry Principal Amanda Rich-ardson was approached by Sipes to host the telescope camp, she was supportive from the get go.

“I was very excited be-cause I wanted our stu-dents to be able to have an opportunity like this to learn about space,” she said. “For the kids to have an opportunity like this, it’s just amazing.”

Sipes volunteered to put on the camp, through his work with the Jet Propul-sion Laboratory for NASA. Sipes was recently selected to be an ambassador for the program and as part of his service hours, he is required and delighted to spread the good news of astronomy.

According to Sipes, Presi-dent Barack Obama ap-proached the JPL program in hopes of raising low math and science scores of stu-dents. So in a short amount of time, Sipes was able to put this camp together.

“The main theme of the camp is light,” Sipes said, the mastermind behind the camp. “It shows them how we use light in technology.”

Sipes taught light tech-nology to students by tak-ing them to his job, SamTec to show students how the company uses lasers to build and destroy things.

Another aspect of the camp is using algebra and a constructive hands-on use of mathematics. Students learned by watching mov-ies, listening to lectures, and by working in a workbook.

After each movie, stu-dents discussed some of the connections made with the movie they watched and some of the things they in-terpreted during camp.

At the conclusion of camp, students got to put their education into action by building their own op-tical telescope. Once each telescope was completed, they were able to take it home with them.

Sipes hopes the telescopes will spark the students’ in-terests in astronomy as it did for him.

“Once I saw the moon through a telescope some-thing snapped,” Sipes said

•The next time you get a chance, you might want to check the pressure of your car’s tires; if they’re not infl ated to the correct pressure, you’re contributing to the $9 million in fuel that is wasted due to improper tire pres-sure, according to the Depart-ment of Energy.•If you ever go to Rome, one of the sights that must be seen is the Trevi Fountain, the elaborate Baroque installment that was completed in 1762. According to legend, anyone who throws a coin in the fountain is ensured a return visit to Rome. This is, evidently, a popular tradition; every night approximately $3,500 is retrieved from the fountain. The money is used to fund a super-market for the city’s needy.•Due to the rising prices of the materials used to mint coins, it now costs 2 cents to manufac-ture every penny and 9 cents to make a nickel.•In 2006, an Illinois police offi cer was arrested for driving under the infl uence of alcohol. This probably would not be noteworthy, except that it was the same police offi cer who received an award for mak-ing the most DUI arrests in his county.•Thought for the Day: “I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later.” -- Mitch Hedberg

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A plan you’ve kept on hold for a long time fi nally could be greenlighted. But in typical Aries form, you’ll need to be sure that everything is in place before you hit the “start” button.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Others might urge you to act more quickly on your ideas. But you’d be wise to follow your Bovine instincts and get more facts to bolster your position when you fi nally present it.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be tempted to accept the well-meaning offer of a friend to act as an intermediary in a dispute. But you know best what it’s about, and you can handle the challenge. Good luck.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) En-tertainment can play an important role this week. Enjoy some well-earned diversion with people you care about. Something especially wonderful might come from this well-spent time.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps and playtime are in order for Leos and Leonas who need to take some time off from their hectic schedules to restore their energies and rebuild their mental muscles. Have fun.VIRGO (August 23 to Septem-ber 22) Virgos will need to keep an open mind this week about choices that seem improbable. A closer study might well reveal possibilities that might have been overlooked. Stay with it.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A disappointing outcome of a well-intentioned effort should be seen as a lesson in how to do it right the next time. Note all your changes and have your new plan set up by week’s end.SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) Travel plans might need readjusting because of changes in the costs previously agreed to. Deal with the problem as quickly as possible to minimize any delays that might result.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your honest ap-proach to an unsettling experience draws admiration from others. Use their positive feedback to build support for your program to introduce needed changes.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Travel is strong in your aspect this week, and so is nos-talgia! You might want to consider planning a trip to a place that holds some very special meaning for you. Bon voyage.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A job-related situation could provide an opportunity you hadn’t considered before. Look it over carefully and see where and how you can tailor it to fi t your needs.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Showing strength as well as sym-pathy helps you deal with a diffi cult personal matter. It also helps you set an example for others when it’s their turn to get involved in the situation.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making people feel comfort-able without losing one whit of your own dignity in the process.

PUBLIC NOTICEInspection Period for the

Property Tax Assessment RollThe Meade County real property tax roll will be

opened for inspection from June 10, 2010 through June 24, 2010. Under the supervision of the property valuation administrator or one of the deputies, any person may inspect the tax roll.

This is the January 1, 2010, assessment on which state, county, and school taxes for 2010 will be due about September 15, 2010.

The tax roll is in the office of the property valuation administrator in the county courthouse and may be inspected between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday 9:00 to 12.

Any taxpayers desiring to appeal an assessment on real property made by the PVA must first request a conference with the PVA or a designated deputy. The conference may be held prior to or during the inspection period.

Any taxpayer still aggrieved by an assessment on real property, after the conference with the PVA or designated deputy, may appeal to the county board of assessment appeals.

The taxpayer can appeal his assessment by filing in person or sending a letter or other written petition stating the reasons for appeal, identifying the property and stating the taxpayer’s opinion of the fair cash value of the property.

The appeal must be filed with the county clerk’s office no later than one work day following the conclusion of the inspection period.

A taxpayer failing to appeal to the county board of assessment appeals, or failing to appear before the board, either in person or by designated representative, will not be eligible to appeal directly to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.

Appeals of personal property assessments shall not be made to the county board of assessment appeals. Personal property taxpayers shall be served notice under the provisions of KRS 132.450 (4) and shall have the protest and appeal rights granted under the provisions of KRS 131.110.

The following steps should be taken when a taxpayer does not agree with the assessed value of personal property as determined by the property valuation administrator.

He must list under protest (for certification) (1) what he believes to be the fair cash value of this property.

He must file a written protest directly with (2) the Department of Revenue, Office of Property Valuation within 30 days from the date of the notice of assessment.

This protest must be in accordance with (3) KRS 131.110.

The final decision of the Department (4) of Revenue may be appealed to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.
