A typical trip to the bank became an expe-rience in heroism for a Guston boy who possi-bly saved the life of an Irvington man.

Colton Kelly, 9, was riding to the bank with his father Rodney Kelly last month, when he said he saw a man laying face down in the parking lot of the IGA grocery store in Irvington, Ky.

The boy found it odd that a man would be lay-ing face down in a park-ing lot on such a hot day,

and suggested they turn around to check on the man.

Initially, Rodney dis-missed his son’s state-ments, but eventually was convinced by Col-ton’s adamancy.

“If he wasn’t persistent, I wouldn’t have turned around, because I hadn’t seen the man,” Rodney said. “Of course, as a dad I felt bad for not listen-ing. I apologized for not listening at fi rst, and not turning around.”

When they reached the parking lot, the pair was shocked to fi nd 73-year-old retired homebuilder

Pat Knott had collapsed and was lying face down, struggling to get up, ac-cording to Rodney.

“The color had gone from his face,” he said. “The way he was mov-ing, I don’t think he knew where he was. He was white as a ghost.”

Rodney got out of the ve-hicle to check on the man, while Colton took the ini-tiative to call 911 from his father’s cell phone.

Moments later, police, EMS and fi refi ghters ar-rived at the scene, where aid was quickly rendered to Knott’s wounds.

During the tumble,

Knott sustained injuries to his face and head, in-cluding a fractured jaw and a bloody nose.

Emergency respond-ers commended Colton for his actions, and said there is a good chance he saved the man’s life.

Knott was taken to a hospital in Hardin Coun-ty, where he received 26 stitches as a result of his injuries, according toRodney.

Though it took a while for Colton to understand what transpired that scorching June morning, he now comprehends the depth of the situation.

“He could have died because he was out in the sun. I was worried about him and it felt good for me to help him. I think I helped him a lot,” the shy, soft-spoken boy said in true heroic fashion.

Rodney was impressed that his son had the pres-ence of mind to help some-one in distress.

“It was just awesome that my 9-year-old thought to stop and help some-body,” he said. “It was heart wrenching for me, because I knew that, as a parent, I’m raising them the right way. Most kids wouldn’t have done that.”

Normally it’s a peaceful retreat, but downtown riverfront park resonated with cannon shots and gunfi re over the weekend, as re-enactors donned blue and grey uniforms to re- hash the details of a major Civil War event.

Portrayers transformed the park into a war-ravaged battlefi eld to re-enact Gen. John Hunt Morgan’s raid of Brandenburg and crossing of the Ohio River, which led to one of the greatest raids during the Civil War.

“This was very famous for the Confederacy because this is where Morgan crossed. If it wasn’t for

Brandenburg, Morgan may not have been able to cross,” Doug Key, the re-enactor who portrayed Gen. John Hunt Morgan said.

After crossing the Ohio River at Brandenburg, Morgan, who had nearly 3,000 troops under his command, was

Staff ReportThe News Standard

Kentucky drivers who are in the habit of texting while driving are now at risk ofgetting pulled over.

A new Kentucky law banning texting while driving went into effect yesterday.

The law, which was passed by the 2010 General Assembly, makes it illegal to send text messages or e-mail while driving.

Drivers will be afforded a fi ve-month grace period in which offenders are pulled over and warned.

When the grace period expires, offend-ers will be fi ned $25 for the fi rst offense, and $50 for each subsequent offense.

The law, which is one of more than 200 passed by the General Assembly, also bans the use of cell phones by drivers un-der the age of 18 in any capacity.

The name “Parkway Terrace” evokesimages of a pristine neighborhood withmanicured lawns and children runningand playing. This is true of the communityof Eastwood Hills surrounding 356 Park-way Terrace in Brandenburg, but not trueof the address itself.

For 13 years the property, owned by Dr.William Shores of Lexington, had beenabandoned and left to deteriorate. The de-cline of the property not only brought dan-gers due to the crumbling and weakeningof the structure, but also other nuisancesin the form of creepy, crawly critters.

Road service district issues hit a bump in the road at the Meade Coun-ty Fiscal Court meeting on Tuesday.

Magistrate Herbie Chism, who rep-resents District 2, mentioned he had been approached by several of his constituents who had paid their road service district dues and were un-nerved by the fact others within the service district hadn’t.

“I’ve got a road service district that’s due this year. I’ve got a spreadsheet on it, and we’re coming up short,” Chism said. “There are several people that haven’t paid. I’ve got questions from some of the ones who have paid as to what we are going to do as far as try-ing to collect on the ones who hadn’t paid. So, I guess what my question is,

what are we going to do?”Chism referred to a county ordi-

nance which affords fi scal court the right to fi le lawsuits in response to noncompliance in paying service dis-trict dues, and suggested following the ordinance’s guidelines.

“In our ordinance, it’s clear in there what we’re supposed to do,” Chism said. “I need to be able to tell these people what we’re going to do.”

According to the ordinance, in the event a taxpayer fails to pay their por-tion of the tax when due, the Meade County Fiscal Court, through it’s attor-ney, may either initiate civil action to collect the tax owed, or have the same remedy that is provided for the recov-ery of an owed debt.

able to proliferate through and loot many towns in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky.

Morgan’s raids were detrimentally signifi cant to the North, and slowed down the advancement of Union forces, according to Key.

“He caught Indiana and the North completely by surprise,” he said. “From here to anywhere in Indiana, he stopped supply lines.”

Key, who used to be a jouster in re-naissance re-enactments, has been a Civil War re-enactor for 12 years.

His extensive knowledge of Mor-gan and his raids lends credit to his ability to portray the notable Gen-eral, a role he enjoys.

“It’s wonderful just to be able to have guys listen to do you and do what you say, and tell the infantry and artillery what to do in a similar fashion (as Morgan),” he said.

The Meade County Civil War Heritage Association, Inc., which is a non-profi t organization, pre-sented the re-enactment.

Most of the portrayers were from Indiana and Kentucky, but others came from as far away as Ohio, Michigan, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, accord-ing to MCCWHA secretary Beth Robinson Woolfolk.

“It draws people in and helps the economy,” Woolfolk said. “It also draws attention to downtown. All of the re-enactors commented on how beautiful the park was.”

Not only did the portrayal pro-mote Brandenburg, but it also served as an educational tool

“You read about it in history books, but one or two pages doesn’t bring justice to how many people lost their lives in the Civil War.”

The re-enactment commemo-rated the 147th anniversary of the actual raid and crossing.

MCCWHA has been organiz-ing the event since 2005, Woolfolk added.

A Meade County High School student bore an extra burden to help make the event a success, ac-cording to Woolfolk.

“We had one of our re-enactors’ son who stepped up and really helped all weekend,” she said. “Ja-cob Franke worked his tail off. It’s the little behind the scenes things that really makes the difference.”

The choices between big spending and respon-sible leadership have alwaysexisted.

But sometimes the lines get blurred or disappear altogeth-er as the sands of political ex-pediency shift and the clamor of big-government statists drown out calls for respon-sible stewardship.

Hard times have a way of magnifying those choices, and an example of that from Kentucky’s Washington del-egation recently appeared in the Kentucky Gazette.

In one column on Page 16, a Kentucky U.S. Senator bemoans: “We are spending our nation’s future into the abyss.”

He wrote that by 2020, the cost of the national debt “will jump to $248,700 per child un-der the age of 18 . . . As a coun-try we have to make hard decisions when it comes to entitlement programs. Medi-care, Medicaid and Social Se-curity will continue to drain our resources.”

“Hard decisions?” “Spend-ing our nation’s future into the abyss?” “We’ve got to do something about Social Secu-rity, the third rail of politics?” Not exactly a warm-and-fuzzy campaign platform.

But voters want the cold, hard facts. Most are fed up with high taxes, overspend-ing, an inept, grossly expen-sive education system and deaf politicians. Incumbents ignore this at their peril.

Yet some do.Also, on Page 16 — right

next to the Senator’s state-ment lamenting our nation’s fi scal crisis — a Louisville congressman spent his entire allotted space talking about how much taxpayer-funded bacon he brings home.

He bragged about how Kentucky would receive millions in additional feder-al stimulus money and said, “this new funding brings the total amount of Recov-ery Act dollars the Com-monwealth has received from the U.S. Department of Education to more than $1.14 billion.”

So what did the congress-man think would be the end result of all this “stimulating” spending?

“With this investment, our

nation is guaranteeing our students have the resources to receive a high-quality edu-cation while maintaining the highest skilled workforce in the world.”

Wow! Really?I wonder if he knows:•Kentucky’s 10.7 percent

unemployment rate is more than a percentage point higher than the national av-erage?

•In Jefferson County, local school taxes are 25 percent higher, and profi ciency rates have declined during the past three years for white, black, Hispanic, Asian, free-lunch and limited-English profi cien-cy students.

•Employers want to hire graduates, especially minori-ties, but can’t fi nd those aca-demically profi cient enough to even fi ll out a job applica-tion or read a simple safety manual?

He must not know that if money solved our education problems, Louisville, which spends 19 percent more per pupil than any of the other 173 districts, would be the education poster district.

On the same page in the same publication on the same day, two political leaders claim to successfully repre-

sent the same commonwealthbut take very different posi-tions on how that works. Onewarns that Congress is spend-ing our children’s inheritancewhile the other brags about it.

But that dichotomy simplyrepresents a microcosm of thecountry.

A growing number of Ken-tuckians want less spendingand a more constitutionalgovernment.

Others prefer the SugarDaddy approach, which keepsmore and more dependentssucking on government’s teat,all the while vigorously shak-ing their heads in approval atpolicies that redistribute thewealth and institute a stateof Nanny-ism that runs everyaspect of their lives.

I offer the government-en-abled folks a question origi-nally raised by Bertrand Rus-sell: “If one man offers youdemocracy and another offersyou a bag of grain, at whatstage of starvation will youprefer the grain to a vote?”

Undoing the failure of pastirresponsible spending deci-sions in Washington will feellike starving to the entitle-ment-addicted crowd. Butselling our nation’s soul for abowl of socialism would befatal for freedom.

The legal case against the Arizona immigration law is unassailable.

The Justice Department and the American Civil Liber-ties Union argue that the law impermissibly “confl icts with federal law and enforcement priorities,” in the words of the ACLU suit. And who can disagree? Clearly, Arizona’s priority is to enforce the na-tion’s immigration laws; the federal government’s prior-ity is to ignore them as much as possible. Case closed.

In his recent immigration speech, President Barack Obama warned ominously of a “patchwork” of immigra-tion laws arising as “states and localities go their own ways.” Oddly enough, sanc-tuary cities acting in open defi ance of immigration laws have never notably been the object of his wrath. Who’s to

judge the good-hearted peo-ple of Berkeley? There’s only one part of the dismaying patchwork that stirs Obama’s Cabinet to outrage and his at-torney general to legal action — Arizona’s commitment to enforcement.

The legal fi ght between the federal government and Arizona will be a case of du-eling insincere arguments. The federal government will pretend that it objects to Arizona supposedly cre-ating a wholly new scheme of immigration regulation, when its real problem is that the state wants to takeexisting law too seriously.

Arizona will pretend that it is acting in keeping with long-standing federal intent, when its law never would have been necessary if the feds intended to enforce their own statutes. Instead, the federal government has adopted what the Justice Department calls — in a euphemism for the ages — “balanced administration of the immigration laws.”

The case against Arizona

rests on “pre-emption,” the notion that federal law “oc-cupies the fi eld” on immi-gration and prevents states from passing their own regulations. In the context of the initial gusts of out-rage at the Arizona law, this is a somewhat technical transgression. Couldn’t Eric Holder have nailed Arizona for its nascent Nazism?

Arizona has been here before. Pro-immigration groups sued over its work-place enforcement law passed in 2007. All the same arguments were mustered about federal pre-emption. A U.S. district-court judge (upheld by the appeals court) rejected them because the state law so closely tracked the federal law and didn’t contradict its stated purpose.

The drafters of the new law attempted to meet these same standards by directly drawing on federal statutes for its defi nition of immigration offenses. The courts have long up-held the right of states to

make arrests for violationsof federal immigration law,and the Supreme Court ina 1976 decision said federalimmigration law didn’t in-tend “to preclude even har-monious state regulation.”Regardless, the courts willnow decide.

The Obama administra-tion hasn’t always beensuch a stickler for nationaluniformity. Last year, it re-versed Bush-administrationpolicy and stopped pros-ecuting violations of federalmarijuana law by users andsuppliers of medical mari-juana in states that have le-galized it. The upshot is thatthe direct violation of feder-al drug laws is acceptable atthe state level, whereas thedirect enforcement of fed-eral immigration laws at thestate level is not.

And so the battle is joined,with the federal governmentmaking the plea — please,whatever you do, let ourimmigration laws molderon the books.

“Our FAIR Lady”“People just can’t wait for the Meade County Fair,” said

current fair manager David Pace.And he’s right.Traditions come and go, but some would leave a vacan-

cy too big to fi ll.The annual fair has become such an event for Meade

County.It’s sort of Sunday dinner, Christmas and Homecoming

all rolled into one.While the fair has seen many changes over the years,

there is one basic root in which it is grounded — it’s a cel-ebration of us.

It’s about our heritage and our way of life.We’re pretty special people around here and not ashamed

to show our pride.Pride in our hard work, pride in our crafts, pride in our

families, pride in our abilities, pride in our faith, and pride in our friendliness are all put on display during our fair.

This is the time we come together as one community to share old memories and make new ones.

It’s a time for the young to learn from the more seasoned of us and for the elders to rejoice in the exuberance of the young.

And, we don’t mind at all when visitors show up to share in the fun. We hope they become more than visitors and stay friends.

There is no way to hide the fact it’s an enormous eco-nomic boost to the area.

But, in the end, it means much more.So, the grand lady makes her yearly appearance begin-

ning Saturday night.Let’s all go out and greet her like the old friend she is to

us.She is our “FAIR lady.”

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky Attorney Gen-eral Jack Conway and the Kentucky Department for Public Health today issued a warning to consumers after an investigation by the Attorney General’s of-fi ce confi rmed high levels of lead in jewelry sold in Kentucky. The brightly col-ored jewelry sold at Rain-bow stores in Lexington and Louisville could be attrac-tive to children and could present a danger to a child’s health. An investigation into whether the products have been sold elsewhere in Ken-tucky is ongoing.

Working with the Con-sumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Kentucky Department for Public Health and the Ken-tucky Injury Prevention and Research Center, General Conway’s offi ce obtained samples and ordered tests of the jewelry earlier this month after the California Attorney General’s offi ce is-sued a Notice of Violation to Rainbow for selling jewelry contaminated with lead.

“I’ve launched this inves-tigation to help protect Ken-tucky kids from dangerous toys and jewelry,” General Conway said. “If parents believe their children may have been exposed to the jewelry they should contact their local health depart-ments or pediatrician.”

Laboratory tests obtained by the Attorney General’s offi ce confi rmed that many of the brightly colored heart pendants and bracelets were greater than 80 percent lead. The Kentucky samples showed the metal charms and jewelry contained as much as 894,962 parts per million (ppm) of lead, which is more than 2000 times the CPSC’s recommended maximum acceptable level of 300 ppm for lead in chil-dren’s jewelry. Rainbow has pulled these items from its

stores and has assured the Attorney General’s offi ce the items will not be sold in Kentucky. Results obtained by the California Attorney General’s offi ce also showed lead in jewelry purchased in 5-7-9 stores.

Consumers who have purchased these products, either at Rainbow or 5-7-9 stores, should either throw the jewelry away or store the item in a safe place out of reach of children in case it is needed to secure a refund.

General Conway and Public Health Commission-er William D. Hacker, M.D. strongly advise keeping all jewelry, keys or charms not designed for young children away from children under the age of six to prevent possible lead poisoning or choking.

A small child mouthing or swallowing an item contain-ing the amount of lead found in some of the Rainbow products could suffer acute or chronic lead poisoning, which can cause death or permanent adverse health effects including behavioral problems and learning dis-abilities, according to Dr. Susan Pollack, a pediatri-cian with the Kentucky Inju-ry Prevention and Research Center at the University ofKentucky.

Lead is strictly limited in children’s jewelry but there is no federal limit for lead in adult jewelry. In this case, the Offi ce of the Attorney General is working to ensure that the lead-contaminated jewelry that could be attrac-tive to children is kept off of store shelves and out of the hands of Kentucky kids. For a list of the items tested, test results and photographs of the jewelry and charms, go to http://ag.ky.gov/multi-media/photos/leadjewelry.htm.

For more informa-tion on the safety of chil-dren’s jewelry, go to http://www.cpsc.gov/onsafety/?s=metal+jewelry. For a full list of recalled products, go to www.cpsc.gov or visit General Con-way’s KY Kids Alert section available on his website.

Band brings rock ‘n’ roll, fl air to event

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

First Baptist Church was a little bit rock ‘n’ roll Saturday as they held a free concert in their parking lot.

The event featured the seven-

member band, “Swerve,” who brought a bit of flair to concertgo-ers.

“Swerve” performed on top of a rolling stage and their sounds could easily be heard from neighborhoods blocks away.

The band featured two female singers, three guitarists, a drummer

and a keyboardist. The group per-formed almost every music genre ranging from rock ‘n’ roll to Chris-tian. The concert featured original songs, as well as cover songs.

Prior to the concert, First Bap-tist Church also held a block party, which had food, drinks and much more.

THE NEWS STANDARD/JENNIFER CORBETT

The members of the band “Swerve” rock out a top a rolling stage in First Baptist Church’s parking lot Saturday evening. “Swerve” played a variety of cover songs as well as originals.

Understanding the times is a rare gift

1 Chronicles 12: 32 says, “All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.“

Every four years, candi-dates of all political parties say and do everything they can to convince us that they best understand our post-9ll world and know how to keep our nation safe.

Whom do you picture as a

person who understands our times? You probably think of a leader with a fi rm grasp of our culture, someone who knows what kind of leader-ship we need in order to deal with the forces currently af-fecting us.

The Bible tells us that the men of Issachar (one of the original twelve tribes of Is-rael) not only understood the times in which they lived, but also knew what should be done. That is a rare and valu-able gift.

The men of Issachar fought for King David and helped him form effective strategies for defending Israel from all threats.

They were the brains of Da-vid’s military and used their God-given wisdom to deci-pher what was best for the kingdom.

The men of Issachar had the all-important trait of ap-plied understanding that we all need.

They understood what was going on, and more importantly, they had the wisdom to form practical strategies that would meet the needs of the kingdom.

Like Israel during Da-vid’s reign, we live in per-ilous times. We need men who understand the times and who know what to do.

If you believe in Christ,

then you can be one of those men.

If the spirit of Christ dwells within you, you have all the resources you need to be a man of ap-plied understanding. the world has never needed you more.

If you just moved to our area, we invite you to visit with us at Grace Baptist Church. Our Sunday morn-ing service starts at 11 a.m.

We invite you to listen to our weekly Sunday radio program on WMMG from 9:30 to 10 a.m.

Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

Some tips on how to help a local church pastor

I have had the privilege of being a church pastor for more than 20 years. I have seen good times and I have seen bad. There were strug-gles and victories all along the way.

There have always been church members who were willing to help with the successful running of the church. Just a few days ago a church member called and

asked if there was anything they could help with. Thank God for those members.

Recently, someone sent me a little nugget of some practical suggestions with which church members could be a help to their pas-tor. Since there are a lot of people who read my col-umn, I wanted to pass this along to you.

By they way, don’t wait for your pastor to ask you for help, put these sugges-tions into practice as soon as you can.

1. Don’t heap upon him a major problem just before he stands up to preach.

2. Don’t give a sympa-

thetic ear to every little gripe or criticism of him.

3. Don’t live your life in a way that adds to the heavy burden of concern he already carries.

4. Don’t force him to do all of the calling and soul-winning.

5. Don’t expect him to be the janitor, carpenter, painter, yard man, and general errand boy for the church.

6. Don’t falsely assume that a preacher can’t be-come discouraged by lazi-ness, worldliness, indiffer-ence and luke-warmness among God’s people.

7. Don’t insult his intel-

ligence by supposing that he can’t see through shal-low excuses.

8. Don’t conclude that, because he deals strongly with your sins, he isn’t aware of his own and isn’t seeking victory in his own life as well as he desires it in yours.

Please share this with your pastor, he will be glad to know you are willing to help

Matthew 25:40 “In as much as you did it to the least of these my brethern, you have done it unto me.”

Randy Johnson is the pas-tor at Brandenburg Church of God.

Jerry and Karen Russell, who have lived next door for seven years, had com-plained of mice, rats, and even snakes on and in their property. Other neighbors have had the same issues which prompted com-plaints to the city of Bran-denburg and a lawsuit was fi led.

On July 8, after many years of tolerating the de-cline of the property and worrying about the safety of kids and pets, 356 Park-way Terrace was demol-ished by the demolition crews of Stoney Enter-prises, LLC and Benham’s

Highlift Service in a matter of hours.

The Russells and several other residents watched as the garage was lifted off the foundation and the house was knocked over. In a matter of hours, there was nothing left but a pile of rubble and a hole where a home once stood.

As the Russells looked on, they marveled at the fact that a home built in 1953, that has stood for 57 years, could disappear in only a day.

This was a happy and long-awaited day for the Russells, but at the same time a little bittersweet. Jerry had been in the home only once and was sur-prised to fi nd everything in order.

“It was like someone had went to the store and never came back. There were dishes in the sink, books on the shelves, and clothes in the closets,” Jer-ry said.

“The owners had shown dogs, there were trophies and pictures… I don’t think they took anything out of there. It’s kind of sad,” his wife, Karen, added.

In the end, watching the home come down was a triumph for the neigh-borhood and for the Rus-sells. With any luck the vermin problem has been taken care of and the res-idents of Eastwood Hills can put this 13 year nui-sance behind them and enjoy their community once again.

Current building projects in Muldraugh have led to the city’s encroachment bond being maxed out, the City Council heard at a meeting earlier this week.

The bond, which is used as a surety when undertak-ing building projects on Di-xie Highway or state high-ways, has reached such a low amount the City doesn’t have enough to cover current de-velopment projects, according to Muldraugh Public Works Supervisor Anthony Lee.

“The reason we’re at this point now, is we’ve got so many projects going on,” Lee said.

“I’ve worked here for quite

a while, and we’ve never worked over a $10,000 bond,” Lee said. “We’re just at the point we’re maxed out be-cause we’ve got a couple three projects going on.”

The state won’t relinquish a bond until the project has been inspected. The city has two projects that have been awaiting inspection for nearly a year, Lee said.

More encroachment bond money is needed to fi nish existing projects, and $10,000 more in bond assurance would be enough to see out completion of the projects, he added.

Mayor Danny Tate wants to raise the amount of the bond

Muldraugh pays $150 per year for each $10,000 en-croachment bond.

The city council made a motion to secure more en-croachment bond money. The motion carried.

Also at the meeting, Tate insisted Muldraugh Police Department must enforce the city’s curfew.

The council heard from Chief Danny Dresel that the Muldraugh Fire District as-sisted with a fi re in Flaherty.

Council members received an update on the city’s lift sta-tion construction project.

Construction of the Harris Street lift station is nearly 75 percent complete, according to Lee.

Council members heard the City’s request for bids to paint City Hall went unheeded. No bids were submitted.

The Brandenburg City Council unanimously moved to pay up to $2,000 in restitution to a Brandenburg resident due to damage cre-ated by backup in the city’s sewer system, in its meeting Monday.

“The council felt like the city potentially could have contributed to some of the damage,” BrandenburgMay-or David Pace said.

The council met in closed session to determine if the city is responsible for the damage. Pace was quick to note that when instances like this arise, it’s up to the council to look at each cir-cumstance individually.

Police Chief Jeff Cox spoke on behalf of the Brandenburg Police Department and said they closed fi ve theft cases and are preparing for the Meade County Fair next week.

Cox presented the police department’s activity report for June. The report included:

two assault cases; two domes-tic violence cases; 77 traffi c violations; one drug posses-sion offense; 17 arrests; 12 ac-cidents; one public intoxica-tion; eight theft cases and two burglaries.

According to Cox, the Citi-zens on Patrol unit is celebrat-ing its fi fth year and is looking to do a future membership drive.

Public Works Director T.J. Hughes said water loss for the city increased to 21 percent for the month of June.

Hughes added that the department is spraying for mosquitoes twice a week and is also preparing for the fair by repainting and cleaning streets.

Last week, Hughes at-tended classes at Rough River and passed hisclassifi cation test.

The department has re-ceived extra help cleaning the city through a summer program at the Lincoln Trail Heritage Program.

“We have four workers for the summer and hopefully

we will get two more,” Pace said. “So far they have been a big help. It’s been a blessing for us.”

Work has also started on re-numbering Lawrence Street, Pace added.

City Clerk Molly Janes said that City Hall recently received $2,867 from the Ken-tucky League of Cities. The money was a reimbursement from a grant City Hall applied for earlier in the year.

City hall also received $1,838 from Homeland Se-curity as reimbursement for police ammunition, Janes added.

In other news, the council approved a business license for Broadway Florist, which will be located at 754 Broad-way.

Solicitor’s licenses were approved for Pike Lawn and Garden and High Point Thom-asville Furniture Carriers. Off site display licenses were ap-proved for Tony Brown Chev-rolet and Ray’s Ford Mercury Inc., so they could display at the fair.

reiterated the need to err on the side of caution, and warned against making an impetuous decision.

“You are asking the coun-ty attorney’s offi ce to fi le suit against constituents,” Mat-ney said. “It’s an action that needs to be taken with great thought…It’s not something that you do lightly. You just don’t.”

Matney said she has tried to contact non-payers, but was reluctant to fi le law-suits because of the lack of resources due to a stifl ed economy has fostered the necessity to be choosier in selecting cases to prosecute.

The service district dues,

which were enacted by a past county administra-tion, are earmarked for road improvements within the respective road servicedistrict.

Once each service district receives 90 percent of the dues, road construction proj-ects within the district can commence.

“What do I tell the people who have paid in full?,” Chism asked. “I need to be able to tell these people that have paid what we are go-ing to do. Are we going to try and collect on the ones that ain’t paid? They are go-ing to expect their road to be chip and sealed, because they’ve done what they are supposed to do.”

Also at the meeting, the court heard from Meade County Sheriff William

“Butch” Kerrick that the Sheriff’s Department col-lected $11.6 million in taxes this year.

The court also tabled fund-ing requests from Battletown Community Park, the city of Muldraugh, the Meade County Museum and Arts Council until the Augustfi scal court meeting.

Wolf Creek Volunteer Fire Department was also grant-ed its annual county funding at the meeting.

Solid Waste Department coordinator Mark Gossett informed the court the de-partment was in the process of developing the specifi ca-tions of an addition to the current solid waste build-ing. Gossett said he was anticipating an addition of 2,400-2,800 square feet to the structure.

By Gerry FischerThe News Standard

(Authors Note: Almost everyone knows that General John Hunt Morgan fought a battle with Union gun boats and Indiana Militia in or near Brandenburg, but few people are aware that there was a second battle of Bran-denburg between the Union Home Guard and Confederate Partisan Rangers. While the Union soldiers prevailed, this may well have been one of the largest gathering of guerrilla forces since Quantrill’s 400 raiders attacked Lawrence, Kan. The number of guerrillas gathered to attack the garrison at the Meade County Court-house were likely eclipsed, in numbers only by those forces of John Singleton Mosby of Virginia; The Gray Ghost.)

During the summer of 1864, a raid was made on Union Troops at the Meade County Courthouse in Brandenburg. This unher-alded second battle of Bran-denburg was led by a man named Stanley Young, also known as Captain Bill Mar-ion. Participants known to take part in the raid were Captains Horsley, Hayes, Dr. Royster, Williams and Webster. Others that likely took part in the battle were Captains Dupoyster, Bry-ant, and Wiggenton. Bry-ant, Dupoyster, Horsley, Hayes, Webster, Williams and Dr. Royster operated as Partisan Rangers in Meade, Hardin, Bullitt, Spencer, and Breckenridge counties. Wiggenton operated east and west out of West Point, Ky.

Little is known about most of these men, but be-fore the war, Ben Wiggen-ton ran a store that in-cluded a post offi ce, in a small community near West Point, Ky., known as Wiggenton’s.

Nearby, Wiggenton’s woods became a meeting place for all sorts of guerril-las, including Sue Mundy, William Clark Quantrill, One Armed Sam Berry, and Henry Clay (Billy) Magrud-er. Captain Dupoyster, like Marcellous Jerome Clarke, also known as Sue Mundy, got his training while rid-ing with Morgan’s Raid-ers. He operated along the

Ohio River towns and their surrounding areas.

Stanley Young, who led the raid on the courthouse, was a distant cousin to Kentucky Governor, John Young Brown, and has many relatives buried in the Sandy Hills area near Guston. He was born in 1831 to St. Clair Young and Amelia Hammond. His father St. Clair Young and his family were visit-ing his mother’s brother William Marsh, and were eating supper when an argument between Uncle Marsh and St. Clair Young erupted. Marsh grabbed a carving knife and stabbed Mr. Young to death. Nine-year-old Stanley who stood watching his father die swore to avenge his father by killing William Marsh. Stanley had to wait years for his chance to kill Uncle Marsh. One day, nine years later, in 1849 Stanley was across the street from the Ashcraft Hotel in Branden-burg, when he noticed Dr. Owings leaning against a sign post, talking to Wil-liam Marsh. Dr. Owings, who resided in Branden-burg, was one of fi ve mem-bers of the State House that voted to keep Kentucky in the Union. Stanley crossed the street, walked up the stairs to a second fl oor bal-cony, and shot downward into Marsh’s head killing him. He ran out the back of the hotel and up East Hill to the courthouse, mounted his horse and rode away. He was subse-quently caught and served time in prison. After his release, to spare his fam-

ily further embarrassment, he returned as Captain Bill Marion. In 1861, Marion was 30 years old, and he operated in the Hill Grove area of Meade County not far from Guston.

To understand the sec-ond battle of Brandenburg we must look at a Union action fought in April 1863 that precipitated the fi ght.

On that date, there was a sizable raid made on Cap-tain Billy Shacklett’s Con-federate Partisan Rang-ers. Shacklett had been in charge of the Brandenburg Union Home Guard un-til August 1862 when he joined the Confederate Army at Big Springs. The Union considered him a dangerous threat not only because he changed sides, but also because he was intimately familiar with the personnel and the op-erations of the home guard. Billy and his men, as did Bill Marion, headquartered in the Hill Grove area of Meade, County. The men Shacklett and Marion had met.

On April 28, a detach-ment of the 36th Kentucky Federal Cavalry, command-ed by Captain Joseph Herr, numbering 100 men, two pack mules and servants, left Louisville, and made their way to Brandenburg, camping for the night at the courthouse. The next day, with the help of an infor-mant and guide, they trav-eled south along what is now Hwy. 448, turning west-ward on what is now Hwy. 60, to Hill Grove Road, then turning southward once again to Meadeville. Once there, Captain Herr led a surprise attack against the rebels under Billy Shacklett, at a place near the Shumate School, known for over-hanging rocks called the “Sheep Shed”. Billy Shack-lett died later that night af-ter being shot several times by Joseph Herr and crawl-ing 60 yards through the woods toward the Barnes house. Ten men were killed in the battle. A man named Gossett, who was the fi rst man to run guns from Ken-tucky to the Confederacy, was the fi rst to die.

John Wimp, Billy Shack-lett, Gossett, Jarrett, and a

man named Duke were fi ve of those killed.

Duke survived the bat-tle, but was killed the next day for cursing his captors. He was shot on horseback near Garnettsville, whileshackled.

Wimp had also been murdered after surrender-ing when an orderly named Amos Griffi n came up be-hind him and shot him in the back of the head.

We know that Jess Taylor, Tom Tobin, and Jim Gos-sip made their escape, and with 11 killed, there were at least 14 rebels in the fi ght, and probably more. No union men were reportedly killed.

I’m convinced that the raid on Shacklett and the murders of Duke and Wimp surely set the stage for the taking of revenge on the home guard at the courthouse.

Every year, my small vegetable garden pro-duces far more tomatoes than I can possibly use. As the season wanes, an abundance of green toma-toes forlornly hang on the vine looking for enough sun to turn them into red jewels. I’ve begun search-ing for unique ways to use green tomatoes as a veg-etable and as a fruit in myrecipes.

Scientifi cally, tomatoes are classifi ed as a fruit, but since they don’t contain the sweet fl avor of most fruits and are typically used in savory dishes, they’re legally classifi ed as avegetable.

Tomatoes are low in cal-ories and a good source of vitamins C, A and K. They

are also a very good source of molybdenum, potas-sium, manganese, dietary fi ber, chromium and vita-min B-1. In addition, to-matoes contain lycopene, which has antioxidant and cancer-preventingproperties.

My recipe for Green To-mato and Orange Relish uses green tomatoes like a

pickled vegetable. It freez-es well, and makes a deli-cious change from tradi-tional cranberry relish for holiday meals.

Green Tomato andOrange Relish

4 medium green toma-toes

1 large purple or Vidalia onion

1 cup orange marma-lade

2 cups dark brown sug-ar

1/2 cup apple cider vin-egar

1/8 teaspoon red pep-per flakes

1. Core the bottom of the green tomato and cut them into quarters. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Using a food processor, pulse the green tomato and onion 8 to 10 times, until the pieces be-come small (“pickle-rel-ish” size). Do not puree.

2. Using a 4-quart,

heavy-bottomed pot, put in all the ingredients at once. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring until blended and the sug-ar begins to dissolve.

3. Turn the heat to me-dium and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occa-sionally. The relish should be syrupy and slightly thick. If it does not seem to have thickened enough, cook the relish 10 minutes more.

4. Cool for 2 hours, and then put the relish in an air-tight container and re-frigerate it. The relish can be refrigerated for two

weeks. You also can place the cooled relish into plas-tic zip-lock storage bags and freeze for up to 6 months. Makes 5 cups of relish.

Louisville native, Keith Ohr, to compete in PGA Championship

Blue ribbon fair entries, exhibits

If you have ever at-tended the Meade County Fair, you know why so many people think of it as a sort of homecoming and reunion combined intoone event.

It is a wonderful time to see old friends, eat funnel cakes and watch nightly shows. It is also a great time to view exhibits made by many talented people.

Are you one of those tal-ented people?

Last year there were over

1,300 entries in the Home Environment building.

These included hand-crafts, quilts, clothing, knit-ted items, baked goods, food canning, fl owers, fruits and vegetables and art.

If you enjoy gardening, painting, writing or just creating, then we probably have a category in which you can enter.

One of the most common questions I receive is… “How much does it cost to enter your items?”

For the Home Environ-ment building, nothing, you just need to check in your items between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Monday,July 19.

Items are judged by out of town judges that after-

noon and will be on dis-play when the building opens to the public at 6 pmthat evening.

You will need to pick-up your entries on Sunday, July 25 between 2 p.m. and3:30 p.m.

If you need informa-tion on rules and catego-ries in which to enter, pick up a fair catalog, stop by or call the extension offi ceat 270-422-4958.

The Home Environment building is located on the fairgrounds across from the community building.

Stop by to cool off, get a drink of water, and view beautiful, interesting exhib-its or just to say hello. We look forward to seeing you at the fair.

Louisville’s Keith Ohr re-cently qualifi ed to compete for a Professional Golf Asso-ciation (PGA) championship.

It’s a major happening in the life of the 35-year-oldgolf pro.

But not near as ma-jor as what happened 10months ago.

“Actually it was 10 months and three days,” Ohr said, referring to the birth of twins Andrew Joseph and Amelia Ryan.

“They are amazing,” says the fi rst-time dad. “They crawled for the fi rst time the other night, right into the kitchen.”

Ohr and wife Andrea, both natives of eastern Kentucky, may be new to parenthood, but some of his earliest steps were taken on a golf course.

He didn’t have much choice, being the product of a family highly skilled inathletics.

His grandfather and father lettered at the University of Kentucky in baseball, and an aunt in golf.

All family and friends can

be expected to be playing close attention Au-gust 12-15 when Keith competes

for the 2010 PGA Cham-pionship at

Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis.

The event will be televised

nationally on CBS.The 2008 and 2009 Ken-

tucky Professional Player of the Year, Ohr earned the right to compete in the prestigious event by fi ring a fi nal round 75 and fi nishing in a tie for 9th at the 2010 PGA Professional National Championship at French Lick Resort in Indiana,

late last month.Only the top 20 fi nish-

ers advance on to the PGAChampionship.

At this point, the 1993 ECHS grad doesn’t know where his career might take him, but he’ll never forget where it be-gan and will be forever grate-ful to the people and commu-

nity that gave him his start.Reared on Francis Street in

Irvine, where he could often be seen practicing chipping in his back yard at a very early age, Ohr says the Estill Coun-ty Golf Club, which he lov-ingly refers to as “Little Au-gusta,” was his home away from home.

“The time spent playing golf in Estill was invaluable to my career. To be able to live where you can play every day and any time of the day and without limitations, and where you know everybody, you just don’t get that at too many places.

“If I had a dollar for ev-ery time I went around that course, I’d be a rich man,”he said.

Following a successful high school career, Ohr accepted golf scholarships to the Uni-versity of Louisville where he continued to excel.

Ohr majored in sports ad-ministration and spent his fi rst summer out of college working at Gibson Bay Golf Course in Richmond, Ky.

Since then he has served as golf pro at Louisville’s Big Spring Golf Club for eight years, and is now in his third year as pro at Wildwood

Country Club off Bardstown Road in Louisville.

Wildwood, which has been around since 1952, is one of the premier private clubs in America, and members are excited about their pro’s re-cent success.

“The members here have been incredible with their support and generosity.”

Ohr will be among the 156 players on the course when tourney play begins, and an immediate goal will be to re-main when the fi eld is cut to the low 70s for weekend play.

“I’m sure the course will be very diffi cult and the crowds large, but I’ve played in front of lots of people before and it helps to keep me focused,” said the man who could be in the same company as the golfer whose game he most admires, Tiger Woods.

Winning the tournament would no doubt bring great happiness to Keith Ohr, but would never overshadow the joy that came into his life 10 months and three days ago.

And that could spell big trouble for the rest of the fi eld.

“I know how I operate. I play my best when I’mhappy,” Ohr said.

Green tomatoes are healthy food fi lled with antioxidants

When Neal Allen was growing up in the 1980s, he worked for his father, Jerry at his business “Al-len’s Trucking” hauling dirt, rock and sand.

Neal knew he wanted to enter this line of work, so he learned from the best by watching his father.

Now, almost 30 years later the roles have reversed.

Neal, along with his wife, Melissa, are the own-ers of Neal’s Trucking, which began in June 1998.

Similar to his father, Neal’s business focuses on transporting dirt, sand, rock and almost anything that has to do with a building.

“We just haul the sup-plies,” Neal said. “We ac-tually buy the most stuff from one of the quarries around here locally and we resell it.”

When it comes to their business, both Neal and Me-lissa agree that even though it can be stressful, both of them enjoy being their own boss.

“A lot of people think ‘oh my gosh that has to be the greatest thing ever,’” Melissa said. “But there is a lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that peo-ple don’t realize … it’s just like any job.”

Currently, the business only has a three-member team of Neal, Melissa and Neal’s father, who helps out when he can.

To Neal, the size of his team is not what matters, it’s the fact that if he makes a promise to someone he will fulfi ll it.

“I do it all,” Neal said. “I don’t have to rely on employees to make sure they do a good job. I do it myself.”

Melissa agreed with him, adding that his 20-plus years experience in the fi eld can speak for itself.

“We try to be extremely dependable,” she said.

“If we say we’re going to be there we are … unless something strange hap-pens but you’re going to know about it and I think people know that they can depend on us too.”

While Neal is out on the fi eld working, Melissa squares away paperwork, while balancing her other full-time job at Branden-burg Pharmacy.

“Sometimes it’s stressful … but you’ve got to make it work,” she said.

Even though times may seem overwhelming, the duo make it a point to relax on the weekends and not worry about the business.

“Business is crazy throughout the week,” she said. “On the weekends, that is why we always try and go do something be-cause when your offi ce is in your kitchen you never get away from it.”

According to Melissa, she works well with her hus-band since their schedules aren’t always the same.

“It’s good because we don’t work with each oth-er all day during the day,” she said.

For the duo, the number of projects they have could be eight one day, and two the next.

“I think that’s what (Neal) likes so much about it,” Melissa said. “No day is the same … It’s not like when you go to a factory and they’re doing the same thing over and over again … it’s something different.”

For Neal and Melissa, when a client thanks them for their hard work, their days get better and better.

“My best advertisement is word of mouth,” Neal said. “If I do a good job for this guy, then he tells the next guy and it just keeps going on and on … That’s kind of the way I run my business. As long as I keep doing a good job I will keep getting more work.”

Melissa’s other love for the business comes from

the daily interaction with clients, who ultimately be-come good friends.

“We’re both people persons,” she said. “It’s just like when somebody praises something you’ve

done and you hear it come back around. ‘Oh we saw that Neal was here today and he did a great job’ … It’s just nice to hear that.”

Overall, Melissa and Neal are content with how

their business is running and don’t see it changing anytime soon.

“The work is rewarding and I sort of get proud of him,” she said jokingly.

BOTTOM LEFT: Neal Allen, along with his wife Melissa, own and operate Neal’s Truck-ing. The business makes it a goal to keep its promise to always be there and do a good job. Neal’s Trucking can assist with any con-struction needs by hauling dirt, sand, rock and just about anything a person may need.


Door-to-door business scams increase during the summertime

Submitted by the Better Business Bureau

As summer begins and temperatures rise, often so do the tempers of angry consumers who fall victim to summer door-to-door salesmen.

While many door-to-door salesmen are honest, every summer the Better Business Bureau receives troubling complaints from consumers who made purchases on their doorstep and were dissatis-fi ed with the quality of prod-uct received, if they receive anything at all.

Some of the most common scams come from salesmen selling meat, magazines, alarm systems, asphalt, or offers of physical labor on homes.

While the low price of these products and services can be luring to your fi nancial taste buds, it’s important for con-sumers to do their research prior to indulging in an im-pulse buy.

The BBB offers the follow-ing advice before making a purchase at your front door:

Do your research. Ask the salesperson for written mate-rial about the company and let them know you are going to research them fi rst before

doing business with them. Check the company’s Reli-ability Report with your BBB. Many communities have li-censing and permit require-ments for food vendors and for selling door-to-door; con-fi rm with your city or county government that the seller is in line with the law.

Don’t fall for empty prom-ises. The seller might claim to offer a 100 percent satis-faction guarantee, but many complainants had no way to contact the seller if they were dissatisfi ed. Additionally, the seller might claim that the product is a higher grade than it really is.

Never pay with cash. When paying by check or credit card you have at least some way to protect your money — such as canceling the check or re-porting it as fraud to your

credit card company. If you pay with cash and are dissat-isfi ed, you’re at the mercy of the salesperson.

Many scam artists will take your check to the bank right away, making credit cards a safer bet.

Report the bad guys. If you feel that you were ripped off by a door-to-door salesper-son, fi le a complaint with your Better Business Bureau and contact authorities.

Chances are, one of your neighbors could be scammed, too. Also report any unli-censed salesmen to the ap-propriate city or county au-thorities.

The Meade County FFA attended FFA Camp June 28th- July 2nd, 2010. The camp is located in Har-dinsburg, Kentucky.

Camp is a time for mem-bers to get better acquaint-ed with their fellow mem-bers, and to help for the upcoming school year.

The main focus of the camp is to better the camp-ers in FFA and in life. Each camper attended a class on the committee or offi ce that they hold.

They learned what their duties were and how they could better serve their chapter. Advisors taught the classes to the chapters that attended camp.

Chapters were given time to plan activities for the upcoming year. Meade County FFA planned recre-ational activities, commu-nity service projects, and other various events for the year.

Some events planned for the year are: a tailgate par-ty, movie night on the farm, Christmas party, concerts, and more. The chapter will also have a new spring

fundraiser this year. Dalton Waters was a can-

didate for camp council. He had to go through an interview, which tested his knowledge of information concerning FFA as well as FFA history. When all the interviews were complet-ed, Dalton was chosen to serve as the secretary on the camp council.

Camp Council is respon-sible for inspecting cabins every morning, raising and lowering the fl ag, and say-ing the prayer before every meal.

On Tuesday evening a representative from Ken-tucky Farm Bureau (KFB) spoke to campers.

He discussed the key relationship that KFB and FFA have. He also ex-plained what KFB offers and how they are here to help FFA.

The following night, Dr. Michael Johnson, a cow-boy and author from Texas spoke. He shared stories about growing up on a farm, and how someone should never give up. They were both very interesting speakers.

Camp was not all work, it was also a lot of fun for

members. Some activities that mem-

bers could have partici-pated in were: volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball, corn hole, hillbilly golf, horseshoes, rook, ping-pong and much more.

On Thursday night, members from the all-star softball team played the advisors in softball. Chap-ter members on the all- star team were, Devin Hardy, Ashley Funk, Taylor Dew-itt, and Lisa Hurt.

Other all-star teams were volleyball and bas-ketball, Wes Dowell and McKayla Phillips were on these teams.

At camp there are many different types of awards that are given. The most prestigious award given is the outstanding leadership

award two members from Meade County received this award. This award is given to the top two per-cent of members at camp. The members that received this award were Dalton Waters and Taylor Dewitt. Ty Adams, Brandon McMa-han and McKayla Phillips were given the leadership award; only 26 campers re-ceived this award.

Members that attended camp were: Dalton Waters, McKayla Phillips, Taylor Dewitt, Brian Chism, Ash-ley Funk, Wes Dowell, Ty Adams, Lisa Hurt, Bran-don McMahan, Marisa Coronado, Allie Stull, Cody Haught, Devin Har-dy, Erica Rhodes and Jena McKinney. Camp was a very enjoyable time for all members.

In a superstar league like theNBA, it’s almost guaranteed thenewly formed superstar trio to theMiami Heat of LeBron James, Dew-ayne Wade and Chris Bosh will beraising championship banners.

But before writing them in the re-cord books, it may help to look at theteam rationally rather than gettingdistracted by the glitz and glam.

With the majority of payroll goingto the big three, one starts to realizethat the Heat will have little or nomoney left to collect a viable bench.

What will the rest of the teamlook like? Will they be able to lureveterans for cheaper contracts?

In all reality, the Lakers are theteam to beat… still. Despite thesuperstar trio, Kobe Bryant andPau Gasol have Andrew Bynum,Lamar Odom, Ron Artest andDerek Fisher.

Now James, Wade and Boshhave Udonis Haslem (who tooka $10 million pay cut to stay withthe Heat), Michael Beasley (whoultimately became a victim of asalary dump), Mario Chalmers(he’ll be giving up more than justhis jersey number to LeBron), Zy-drunas Ilgauskas (who didn’t helpJames in Cleveland), and thensome draft picks that may not signjust for league minimum.

So who does the Heat pick up?Derrick Fisher already said ‘no,’and re-signed with the predomi-nate Lakers. Miami falls under thecap this year, this excludes themfrom picking up free agents such asShaquille O’Neal, Mike Miller, JoshHoward or Luke Ridnour. Thisleaves them to a second tier of freeagents who may include Flip Mur-ray, Tim Thomas, Etan Thomas,Kurt Thomas and Jason Williams…none of which are championship-quality bench players.

Can this bench match up withthe Lakers’ Odom, Jordan Farmar,Shannon Brown, Luke Walton andnew signee Steve Blake?

Take the Lakers… for now.But wait, before the Heat even

gets past the Lakers they still haveto fend off the pesky Celtics whohave been to two of the past three

Recent Meade County High School graduate Jus-tin Amburgey had always wanted to play college baseball. On June 24, he fi -nally played out his dream when he signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Campbellsville University.

“This is a great feeling,” Amburgey said. “I’ve al-ways wanted to play col-lege ball, ever since I was a little kid I wanted to play. Now that I’m here … it’s

just great.”The infi elder and pitcher

has been an important part of the Greenwave baseball team the past four years. Amburgey struggled to fi nd a win during his soph-omore year but fi nished by boosting a winning record his senior year and becom-ing an offensive threat. He led the Greenwave with 34 RBI and also was one of the team captains.

After he graduated in June, Amburgey was still

Jenna Mullen had a very good backhand during her freshman year. She now has improved her forehand.

By Ben AchtabowskiThe News Standard

One of the biggest sur-prises in Meade County athletics this spring was the surge of a young, talented tennis player Jenna Mullen.

The freshman quickly be-came the Lady Waves No. 1 singles player and went on to make a stir in the region and district tournaments.

“My statistics weren’t great or anything, but I had a lot of close matches,” Mullen said, who ended with an 8-7 overall record. “Next year I’m going to do a lot better.”

Mullen hit her stride during the most important

time of year — the regional tournament. It also took her a while to get used to the high school level of play.

“At fi rst I was really ner-vous this year,” she said. “The fi rst few matches, I just didn’t know what to expect. Then I got used to it. I started to play good players and get better.”

When the region tourna-ment came, she claimed an opening round victory over the region’s No. 7 seed from Marion County in straight sets, 6-3 and 6-3.

“That was a good ex-perience,” Mullen said,” That took the pressure off a little bit.”

During the second round, she dominated a Bardstown tennis player in straight sets 6-0 and 6-0.

“I really wanted to win that match,” Mullen said, of her second round match. “I watched her play and I knew I could beat her.”

Eventually Mullen faced Elizabethtown’s AnnLau-ren Fiepke who was the No. 2 seed in the tourna-ment. Mullen lost in three sets and was eliminated from the tournament, but she still managed to snatch the second set away from Fiepke.

“That was exciting to

NBA Finals, the Magic who — if Dwight Howard finally plays to his capa-bilities — will eat up Bosh just like he did in the 2008 playoffs. Oh, don’t forget the upstart team of Chi-cago who now has a for-midable trio themselves of Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer and (gulp, dare I say) Joakim Noah. They also have a better support-ing cast than Miami could dream of.

Getting back to the trio of players — James, Wade and Bosh — they don’t even place in the top trios of all time, yet.

Look at some of the top trio of players who have won championships: Lar-ry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, or Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy

Even throw in Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and whoever (Dennis Rodman, Horace Grant, B.J. Armstrong, Bill Cart-wright, Luc Longley, Steve Kerr or Toni Kukoc). How

about real old school Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, and Tommy Heinsohn or the Bad Boys of Detroit Isaiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, and Bill Laimbeer?

The only proven cham-pion on the team is Dwanye Wade… With that being said, will it be hard for “The King” to realize that this is Wade’s team first and foremost?

Secondly, Bosh is terribly overrated. Of course being in Toronto, the American fanbase has not seen him night in and night out. But can Bosh be that Worthy or McHale type of player that James will need to succeed?

And finally, does James even have to capacity to become a champion? Cer-tainly he has the physical skill set to be dominating. But after seven years in the league, several MVPs and no championships, one might wonder if he has the mental ability to win when it matters. Luckily, he has Wade to bail him out when need be. Watch who takes the big shot — it won’t be James.

After watching ESPN’s “The Decision” earlier this

month, the ego trip James is on is hard to even quan-tify. These megalomaniac tendencies are unprece-dented even for the prima donnas of the NBA. Heck, this even makes Chad Johnson’s name change to Ocho Cinco seem like a humble expression of the spanglish language.

With the mash up of superstar egos, an at-best limping veteran filled bench and the mounting pressure of championship expectations that’s hard enough to make the dia-monds encrusting the Lak-ers’ 2010-11 (that’s next year right?) championship ring there’s a lot stacked up against them.

This new powerhouse team is set up to fail rath-er than succeed. With such high expectations in place, even before they step on the court, it’s almost im-possible they will meet those expectations.

Really, if they don’t be-come the best trio of all time this will be consid-ered a failure. Either way, it will be fun to watch them crash and burn or fill their hands with champi-onship rings.

TrioFrom page B1

win that second set,” Mul-len said. “It proved to me I could play with these girls.”

During the region tour-nament David Rogers, a tennis pro based out of Hardin County, saw Mul-len play. He approached MCHS’s boys tennis coach Mark Zweifel and said he would like to coach her.

“He wanted to help me,” Mullen said of Rogers who also trains with the top ten-nis players in the region. “I like him a lot and he’s al-ready improved my game so much.”

A week later Rogers was honing Mullen’s game.

One of the biggest chang-es Mullen has made with the help of Rogers is be-coming more aggressive. While winning many of her matches by grinding out the baseline, she knew beating the best would take a more assertive game plan.

“I have to get used to all these changes,” she said. “I have a new forehand swing. I have a forehand slice and a backhand slice that should throw some girls off.”

The unusual part of Mul-len’s game is her strong backhand. Most high school tennis players will run around to their forehand, while avoiding using the backhand shot, according to Meade County’s girls tennis head coach Michelle Miller.

“Most player’s try to use their forehand as much as possible,” Miller said during the spring tennis season.

Mullen did the opposite. “It threw some players

off,” Mullen said, of play-ing to her backhand. “They weren’t expecting it.”

Acquiring a new coach re-minded Mullen of her fi rst tennis coach and when she began her love for the game.

“I remember when I fi rst played my coach told me I was a natural,” she said, whose fi rst coach was Roger Westfall — a family friend. “I really don’t know what it takes to be a natural. I guess it’s meant to be. I’m just meant to play tennis.”

Mullen then started to play USTA tournaments and took more private les-sons. She traveled to Lou-isville three to four times a week for private lessons the past fi ve years.

“I’ve thought about play-ing other sports,” Mullen said. “But then I realize that I focus on tennis.”

Tennis can be a full time sport like any other sport. Both Meade County High School coaches are adamant that players can’t put away their rackets as soon as the season’s over.

“The best girls play year-round,” Miller said, before the spring season started. “These girls need to realize they can’t just put the racket

away after our season. They have to keep playing.”

Mullen is playing on a summer team coached by Central Hardin’s Jeff Crady. The team travels and plays other schools around the region and state.

“There are a lot of good players on the team,” she said. “We’re all high school-ers and we play some tough competition.”

Now heading into her second year, Mullen looks to make even a bigger surge after retooling her game and playing on a summer team.

“I thought a lot of the girls in the region would be seniors,” Mullen said, of the tough competition she’ll see next year. “But there are a lot of young girls that are good. There’s always go-ing to be good players from E’town and I look forward to playing them next year.

“My coach (Rogers) tells me I can make it to state next year. Hopefully I can.”

By Monte DuttonNASCAR This Week

Juan Pablo Montoya’s presence in NASCAR is truly historic. He was recog-nized as one of the world’s great driving talents long before he strapped himself into a stock car.

In addition to his one Sprint Cup victory (at In-fi neon Raceway in 2007), Montoya also has won both the Indianapolis 500 and the Grand Prix of Monaco. When he moved from For-mula One to NASCAR, it was unprecedented.

Success hasn’t come eas-ily for Montoya in NASCAR, where he has won only once in 126 starts. New Hampshire Motor Speedway was a dis-appointment after Montoya’s No. 42 Chevrolet started on the pole. He crashed after tangling with Reed Sorenson late in the Lenox 301 and was credited with 34th place.

“The teams are really com-petitive. ... It is hard. It is so competitive,” Montoya said.

Montoya made the Chase for the Sprint Cup last year, but the odds are against him. With nine races re-maining in the regular sea-son, he is 22nd in points, 183 behind 12th place. The top 12 regular-season fi nishers make up the Chase fi eld.

What’s frustrating for Montoya is his belief that the team is stronger this year than last.

“We are miles ahead right now,” he said. “We have a much faster race car than what we had last year at this point.

“But we had a blown en-gine. We got together with our teammate. We’ve been involved in I don’t know how many wrecks from oth-

er people ... We have been right behind the wrecks. We have been a row or two rows behind where they wreck, and they block the whole track and right there, you are just a passenger. We have had, like, seven of those this year.”

Though Montoya is, by background, a road racer, racing a stock car on road courses didn’t come as eas-ily as one might think.

“It’s crazy,” he said, “be-cause, for me, it’s awkward being in these cars on a road course. ... There’s just no grip. You know what I mean? ... It’s just different. Put it that way.”

The Bogota, Colombia, na-tive now lives in Miami. He won the Indianapolis 500 in 2000 and the Grand Prix of Monaco in 2003. Montoya’s fi rst NASCAR victory was a Nationwide Series race in

Mexico City in 2007.

unsure of where he wanted to play college baseball.

The decision was a tough one for Amburgey who was also looking at colleges such as Lindsey Wilson where he would pair up with Meade County brothers Mikie and Daniel DeRossett.

“It was tough to choose between Lindsey Wilson and Campbellsville,” Amburgey said. “It would have been nice to play with (the DeRos-sett brothers). But I wish them the best. They are good friends and I’m sure I’ll keep in contact with them.”

The three will meet up in the near future since Lindsey Wilson and Campbellsville are in the same conference.

“That will be pretty cool,” Amburgey said. “Me, Daniel and Mikie probably haven’t played against each other since Rec ball. It should be fun.”

Amburgey attended a showcase for unsigned recent graduates at the end of June. After a few bites from colleg-es, he went with Campbells-ville — that had been recruit-ing him for a while.

“Campbellsville was the right fi t or me,” he said. “I went to the campus down

there and there was a big at-mosphere. I knew it was the right fi t for me.”

Amburgey expects to play infi eld and pitch from time to time. Just like his duties as a Greenwave.

“I’ll play infi eld a little bit more,” he said. “Basically I’ll be doing what I did here (at Meade County). I just want to play, so I’ll play anywhere.”

Amburgey knows that if he wants to play, he’ll have to work even harder this summer.

“I can’t just put the bat down and wait to play this fall,” he said. “I need to keep swinging in the cage, throwing the base-ball around. I’ll have to work out a lot, even hit the weight room a little bit.”

While Amburgey looks forward to playing baseball, he also knows that he’ll be furthering his education.

“It’s a really good school,” he said. “I want to major in physical education and teach either elementary or high school.”

Amburgey also doesn’t rule out coming back to Meade County to help coach.

“I talked to coach Clanton about it and he was all for it,” Amburgey said. “I’d love to come back here and coach. I have a lot fond memories here and I’d like to make more.”

FRANKFORT — I bought my fi rst Arbogast Jitterbug at the Western Auto in downtown Bardstown well before my 10th birthday. I had no idea about what made a good color choice, so I bought the one that looked the coolest to me at the time: a model with a silver/gray back and white belly. It was the fi rst lure I ever bought with my own money.

I threw that thing on small lakes and ponds with nary a whiff from a bass. I loved its action and followed the directions on the Jitterbug’s packaging: reel the lure in a few feet, let it sit still, repeat.

A cousin is a Dominican sister, stationed at St. Cath-erine near Springfield for many years of my youth. This gave me access to fish their small lakes and I at-tacked with my new lure. No strikes from bass, as usual. Toward the end of the day, I grew frustrated and launched a huge rain-

bow cast, trying to throw it as far as I could.

A power line running about 1 o’clock over my head grabbed the Jitter-bug and I watched in hor-ror as it looped around the cables over and over again. I lost my first lure without it catching a fish. That Jitterbug may still be hanging from those wires.

A while later I learned the basics of fishing the Heddon River Runt and the old Knight Tube worms on the many dis-tillery lakes around Bard-stown. My brother, Dad and I enjoyed a summer evening fishing on one of those lakes. My brother threw his new black Jitter-bug along weed lines just before dark. The commo-tion from largemouth bass plastering the Jitterbug made Dad and I envious. He caught some good bass that night and lost a big one in the weeds. It was tough to move a big bass from weeds with a Zebco 404 mounted on a whip-py fiberglass rod, but my opinion about the Jitter-

bug changed forever. The time of day was the

difference between my brother’s success with this odd looking lure and my frustration with it. The Jitterbug isn’t a daytime lure; it is the best night bass topwater lure of all time, especially for small lakes and ponds.

Lure inventor Fred Ar-bogast tinkered in his basement shop with the business end of a spoon and a piece of broom han-dle back during the Great Depression. The spoon inspired the Jitterbug’s unusual concave lip that produced a highly effec-tive gurgling sound and erratic wobble on the re-trieve. No other lure looks or sounds like a Jitterbug since it hit the market in 1937. Summer nights are the best time to fish Jitter-bugs. Black is the only col-or to throw. It is Jitterbug time when the sun’s fallen so low that you struggle to tie a knot without the help of a flashlight. Tie that last daytime knot to a black Jitterbug.

This lure isn’t a weed-less plastic frog you can sling thoughtlessly into the teeth of the vegeta-tion ringing a farm pond or small lake in the dark-ness. The treble hooks on the Jitterbug impale them-selves on any log, lilly pad or strand of coontail they contact. Study the water before sunset and decide likely casting lanes. Paral-leling a weedbed with the Jitterbug draws vicious strikes, but you can catch many huge bass fishing the middle of the pond. The popping, gurgling sound of the Jitterbug draws bass from far away to smash it.

Although the literature promotes a stop-and-go retrieve with the Jitterbug, a straight retrieve often works better. You want the Jitterbug to settle into an annoying rhythm as you work it. The steady irritat-ing sound from the lure drives bass nuts. Hold on to your rod tightly as lar-gemouth bass usually try and savage the lure. The strike is often violent.

The stop-and-go re-trieve in which you reel the Jitterbug a few feet, let it rest till the ripples settle out and repeat, works best on nights when the fish aren’t aggressive. Try the steady retrieve first. Move to the stop-and-go if the steady retrieve fails. Re-sist the temptation to set the hook when you hear the strike or you may have a Jitterbug and its treble hooks flying at your head in the dark. Wait until you feel the weight of the fish before driving the hooks home.

The 3/8-ounce size Jit-terbug is a good all-around choice for ponds and small lakes. Cast the lure on a 7-foot medium action spinning rod spooled with 10- to 12-pound test line. Spinning equipment is much easier to deal with at night than baitcasting equipment. Throw the 5/8-ounce Jitterbug if you prefer a baitcasting rod. The slightly longer jointed Jitterbug produces more action and works better on windy nights or in the se-

cluded coves of reservoirs. The Jitterbug also drives

stream smallmouth crazy. Work the 1/4-ounce black model at dusk above and below riffles with 45-de-gree casts. Retrieve the Jitterbug fast enough to keep the gurgle going. The stream current tricks you into thinking you are reel-ing quickly enough, but often the Jitterbug isn’t making any commotion at all, just bobbing down-stream. Speed up if you don’t feel any wobbling through your rod on the retrieve.

Stream smallmouth at-tempt to kill the Jitterbug with a vicious strike or gently slurp the lure and pull it under the surface. Keep on your toes. Set the hook if you feel any weird resistance. Large stream smallmouth bass often strike the Jitterbug gently.

Tie on the venerable Jit-terbug this summer and enjoy some of the most ex-citing fishing on the plan-et. It drove bass insane be-fore World War II and still does today.

Jitterbugs work just the same as they did during WWII

It seems that humans are the only animals so affected.•Statisticians claim that the more money a man makes, the more likely he is to cheat on his spouse.•Mascara was invented by a chemist named T.L.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A bit of Arian contrariness could be keeping you from getting all the facts. Turn it off, and tune in to what you need to hear. It could make all the difference this week.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting an answer to a vital ques-tion involving fi nancial matters might take longer than you’d ex-pected. A new factor might have to be dealt with before anything can move forward. Be patient.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Use your good sense to see what might really be driving a col-league’s workplace agenda. What you learn could lead to a new way of handling some old problems.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind might once again turn out to be a good thing. True, most of your co-workers might not like the delay, but as before, they might appreciate what fol-lows from it.LEO (July 23 to August 22) You revel in golden opportunities this week. One cautionary note, though: Be careful to separate the gold from the glitter before you make a choice. Someone you trust can help.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Marriage is important this week, as are other partnerships. Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by sentiment. Instead, try to steer a path between emotion and common sense.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Dealing with someone who has let you down is never easy. But the sooner you’re able to clear up this problem, the sooner other problems can be success-fully handled.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A “friend” who is willing to bend the rules to gain an advantage for both of you is no friend. Reject the offer and stay on your usual straight and narrow path.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) After all the effort you’ve been putting in both on the job and for friends and family, it’s a good time to indulge your own needs. The weekend could bring a pleasant surprise.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might want to do something new this weekend. Close your eyes and imagine what it could be, and then do it, or come up with the closest practical alternative.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your good deeds bring you the appreciation you so well deserve. But, once again, be careful of those who might want to exploit your generous nature for their own purposes.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Trolling for compliments isn’t necessary. You earned them, and you’ll get them. Concentrate this week on moving ahead into the next phase of your program.BORN THIS WEEK: Meeting new people usually means you’re making new friends. People want to be refl ected in your shining light.

Camp teaches students to exude MCHS school spirit


Meade County High School pride was bursting at the seams, while current cheerleaders taught what they know — plus more — to younger students.

This was part of the MCHS Cheer Camp, which began Mon-day and will fi nish today.

Each day, the 71 campers met in Brandenburg Primary’s gym to learn how to cheer louder, while keeping spirits at an all-time high. Campers were broken into different groups in accordance to their age. Each group had two MCHS student leaders, who taught the students to keep smiling and keep moving.

Some of the things the camp went over included motions, jumps, stunting techniques, and current MCHS cheers and dances.

The camp was a fundraiser for the MCHS cheerleaders.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: All the participants of the 2010 Meade County High School Cheer Camp. A camper adjusts her uniform. The fourth grade group performs their cheer routine. A sixth grade camper adds a bit of spunk to her cheers. The third grade group gets excited after they finish perform-ing in front of their peers.

Students have fun, learn at summer reading events

SUBMITTED PHOTOS

ABOVE AND BELOW: Donna Fackler watches over her students as they play in the handmade “Greenwave Machine,” at the Meade County Public Library.

Submitted by Megan N. StithMCPL

Some third-and fourth-graders got a chance to have some fun with a Donna Fackler original creation, “The Greenwave Machine.”

The water machine went hand-in-hand with the theme of the library’s summer reading program: “Make a Splash At Your Library.”

Each session of the summer, the reading program centers around fun water activ-ites, crafts, games and a trip to the library for books, so children can read during their summer break from school.

‘Wizard of Oz’: even at its age, it’s still a loveable children’s classic

This is part 1 of a three-part series in which I take a look at three classic children’s movies that I, regrettably, have never seen until now.

Yeah, that’s right. I’m twenty years old and I’ve never seen “The Wizard of Oz.” Ever.

Yeah, I know, it’s a trav-esty, but that’s part of the reason why I’m starting this little three-part series — to catch up on some un-deniable classic entertain-ment that I never experi-enced while I was growing up.

The other reason is to reintroduce these movies to today’s audience — to share an unbiased view-point with generations of fans who likely have strong emotional ties to the fi lms I intend to review.

On that note, I don’t think there’s anyone who needs an introduction to “The Wizard of Oz” … ex-cept, perhaps, myself.

I went into this knowing nothing except the high-lights — the tornado, the munchkins, the witches, the flying monkeys, and

those ruby slippers. Outside of that, I was

clueless. I was surprised to learn

that all of these seemingly unrelated plot devices that I knew about fit to-gether quite nicely into a storyline that is both co-herent and believable (for a fantasy tale).

There’s no denying that the film is juvenile in its atmosphere, but it never comes across as demean-ing.

In fact, there is a curi-ous charm that surrounds each of the main charac-ters, making for a largely entertaining and instantly likeable cast of misfits.

But most remarkable of all is that the film hardly shows its age at all.

Except for one notice-able 30s-era divert into blatant theatricality, the movie proves to be just as quality and entertaining an experience as anything playing in the multiplexes now.

One thing that I kept no-ticing all throughout the film was just how famil-iar everything seemed to be, even though I’d never seen it before.

Surprisingly enough, I found that I could sing along with just about ev-ery song there was, and there are far too many clas-sically quotable quotes to

mention — including the ever-popular and always-appropriate, “There’s no place like home.”

Even though there’s no denying the film’s classic status, there are still a cou-ple of minor annoyances.

The medley of munchkin song-and-dance routines toward the beginning of the film lasted a little long for my taste (and grated my nerves a bit), and I’m not overly fond of the end-ing and its interpretation of Oz (something that seems to go against the author’s original intent anyway).

Still, if these are the only true faults I can find in a movie that is more than 70 years old, then that’s quite an accomplishment in it-self.

If this movie were re-leased today, there’s no telling how it would fare.

It would probably just be swept under the rug as a cheerfully clichéd chil-dren’s movie.

But we mustn’t forget that a lot of the things we consider cliché today are as a result of this very movie.

At the end of the day, I feel not so much like I’ve seen a movie and more like I’ve received a much-needed history lesson in film.

Final grade: ***1/2
