RADCLIFF, Ky. — The former Chal-lenger Learning Center, located on Chal-lenger Way off Hwy. 313, was full of life Friday afternoon after it had sat dormant for nearly a year.

The building, which housed space ex-

ploration programs until early 2009, was un-shuttered Friday and now serves as the area’s newest education hub — the Regional Education Center. The center will take on the challenge of preparing the local workforce for the hundreds of knowledge- and computer-based jobs soon to be available at Fort Knox as the Army installation nears the tail-end of its

base realignment and closure (BRAC).At an open house for the Regional

Education Center held Friday afternoon, directors called the center the fi rst of its kind in the Commonwealth because of the accessibility and low-cost courses it will provide residents — specifi cally those in

Offi cers search for driver who hit student at bus stopBy Laura Saylor

[email protected]

The Meade County Sheriff’s Department continues to investi-gate a hit and run accident involv-ing a Meade County High School student who was waiting at a bus stop in Flaherty.

According to Sheriff William “Butch” Kerrick, the accident oc-curred the morning of Wednesday,

Jan. 20. A sheriff’s department press release states that witnesses reported a late model red pick-up truck turned from St. Martin’s Road onto Frederick Lane. The vehicle went off the roadway and hit the student who was waiting for the bus.

The driver stopped to check on the student though he or she didn’t exchange any information and 911 wasn’t called.

The student, who sustained only minor injuries, reported the incident to the bus driver, and school offi cials notifi ed the school resource offi cer.

Amanda Richardson, principal at Flaherty Elementary School, said drivers should be more aware of students near roadways during the morning and afternoon hours

Winter weather leads to 11 car accidents Tuesday morning

All primary election candidates announced

By Laura Sayloreditor@thenewsstandard

Though not much more than a dusting of snow lay-ered the area Monday night, it’s likely that more than a dozen motor vehicle ac-cidents occurred Tuesday morning throughout the county, due in large part to slick roads.

Mark Bennett, Meade

County E-911 director, said the county dispatch center received 59 telephone calls between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m. Tuesday, not including radio traffic between firefighters, police officers and ambu-lance drivers. He said 11 of those 59 calls were for mo-tor vehicle accidents, though it’s likely more occurred and

weren’t offi cially reported that involved cars sliding off roads or into ditches.

Portions of Hwy. 60 and Hwy. 144 were closed tem-porarily, as was Payneville Hill, as emergency respond-ers scrambled to clear acci-dents from roadways.

County road department supervisor Mark Popham said crews began clearing and treating roads around 5 a.m. Tuesday. He said the county takes care of named roads and the state highway department is re-sponsible for all numbered roads, such as the ByPass (KY 1051), Hwys. 144, 79, 60 and others.

The city of Brandenburg cares for all streets within city limits, except for Old Ekron Road, which Popham said is treated by the county road department.

After Tuesday’s mess cleared, road department crews stood guard for the several inches of snow pre-

dicted to hit the area Thurs-day night.

Popham said if forecast predictions are fairly defi nite crews will pretreat county roads with treated salt and salt and sand mixtures.

“Usually we have to wait and see how much is actu-

ally coming before we start treating,” he said. “And if it’s wet or raining we can’t pretreat because it just gets washed away.”

At maximum force, the road department has on roster 14 drivers and eight trucks.

Kentucky miner dies in accident

A Bledsoe Coal Co. miner has been killed at the Abner Branch mine in Leslie County.

An employee who worked as a continuous miner operator was struck and killed by a rib roll. A rib roll occurs when the coal pillar block, which supports the mine roof, has layers of coal that is divided by a rock seam. When the coal pillar gives way it releases portions of the pillar of coal and rock. The miner was hit by this debris.

This is the fi rst mine-related fatality in Kentucky in 2010. In 2009, there were four mine-related fatalities.

Assault on police offi cer results in arrest in Grayson Co.

On Jan. 22, Tpr. Nor-man Chaffi ns with the Kentucky State Police, Post 4 in Elizabethtown, Ky., and Deputy Robert Jackson, Grayson County Sheriff’s Offi ce, respond-ed to Miller Lane in the Big Clifty area of Grayson County on a domestic vio-lence complaint.

A female subject stated that she had been as-saulted by Charles Allen. Upon arrival, the offi cers located the subject hiding inside a vehicle in a small outbuilding near the resi-dence. The subject refused to open the door and made verbal threats towards both offi cers. Tpr. Chaf-fi ns broke the driver’s side window of the vehicle and attempted to restrain the subject. The subject then exited the vehicle through the passenger door.

The subject charged Deputy Jackson and re-fused all commands given to him. The subject struck Deputy Jackson in the face with his fi st. Tpr. Chaf-fi ns and Deputy Jackson used a TASER and physi-cal force to take the sub-ject into custody. Deputy Jackson and the subject were both treated at Twin Lakes Hospital for minor injuries and released. The subject was lodged in the Grayson County Deten-tion Center.

Brandenburg Telephone Company issued a con-sumer alert last week, stat-ing that customers have been receiving phone calls from people asking for personal information.

Primarily local business customers have received the calls, but Branden-burg Telephone Company wants to make all custom-ers aware that this is a scam.

The scammers reportedly say they are from Branden-burg Telephone Company and are calling to check on phone and Internet servic-

es. They offer to give a toll free number for technical assistance in exchange for personal information.

Brandenburg Telephone Company offi cials said it’s diffi cult to identify the imposters because they block their caller identifi -cation information.

Offi cials released the following statement:

“Do not give out any personal information to these imposters. To iden-tify these callers as im-posters get a name and number to call them back. These imposters are in-considerate and won’t get off the line — hang up on them if you have to.”

For more information, contact the Brandenburg Telephone Company of-fi ce in Brandenburg at 270-422-2121 or 270-547-4151.

Kentucky At A Glance

Even though we had a short week, because of the Martin Luther King holi-day Monday, our days were packed with committee meetings, constituent vis-its and work on the House fl oor.

A bill that could increase the number of bachelor de-gree holders in Kentucky by making it easier for students to transfer from the state’s two-year community colleg-es to its public universities cleared the House of Repre-sentatives by a vote of 97-0.

Under House Bill 160, credit for certain commu-nity college courses would be fully credited to related bachelor’s degree programs at Kentucky’s public uni-versities. Those universities would be prohibited from requiring graduates of ap-

proved two-year programs from repeating courses to earn a bachelor’s degree within their major. The bill would limit the number of required lower-division course credit hours in most state associate and bach-elor’s programs beginning in 2012.

HB 160 would ensure that students with approved two-year degrees would not have to take additional general education or pro-gram-specifi c prerequisites upon entering a bachelor’s program at one of the state’s eight public universities. The bill would give priority for university admission to graduates of the state’s two-year public colleges and cre-ate a uniform college tran-script for Kentucky’s public colleges and universities. It is expected that HB 160 will help the state reach its 1997 goal of doubling its number of degree holders to meet the national average by 2020.

We also passed a bill that will give totally disabled

veterans free access to state parks and campsites for up to three overnight stays per yea, subject to space avail-ability. Our veterans sacri-fi ce so much for our country and my colleagues and I are proud to give them this op-portunity.

On Tuesday, Governor Beshear delivered his budget address to both the House and Senate in the House chambers. His approach to balance the biannual budget is to pass legislation allow-ing video lottery terminals at Kentucky racetracks. The General Assembly has indi-cated it is looking at other avenues to address the bud-get shortfall.

Now the real work begins as we meet with staff and our budget experts to craft a document that keeps servic-es and programs operable.

In an effort to recognize the terrible strife being en-dured by the people of Haiti, the House of Representatives vowed to join John Calipari, coach of the University of

Kentucky basketball team, in his “Hoops for Haiti” fundraising effort which began this weekend and has already brought in over $1 million. Coach Calipari was honored by the Ken-tucky House of Representa-tives who promised to raise $10,000 in the next few days for the relief effort.

FRANKFORT — As the Senate continues its work during the 2010 Regular Session, I would like to update you on some of the bills that the Senate has passed in the last few days.

To start, we passed a package of three bills to help support our veter-ans and armed service members. Senate Bill 29 expands the state hiring preference that honors military service. Senate Bill 30 makes military per-sonnel and their family eligible for military assis-tance trust grants for up to 180 days after the end of their deployment, extend-ing the current time frame that is only 90 days.

Senate Bill 31 makes it easier to have medi-cal foster homes here in Kentucky. These bills help make the transition for vet-erans back into civilian life easier by affording them clearer paths to employ-ment, as well as fi nancial and medical assistance.

The Senate also passed Senate Bill 1 unanimously this week. SB 1 is legis-lation that requires the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to recog-nize hospitals that have received primary stroke center certifi cation from a nationally-recognized or-ganization that provides disease-specifi c certifi ca-tion for stroke care.

Kentucky is one of 12 states in the “stroke belt,” which contains the nation’s highest rate of strokes and highest mor-tality rates. It is important that we make sure that Kentucky residents know where the nearest primary stroke center hospital is in case of emergency.

This week the Gover-nor also introduced his proposed state budget for the next two fi scal years. Although the Governor’s initial budget is unreal-istic, we will work with the House of Representa-tives to build a responsible budget for our state in the coming weeks.

Senator Gibson represents the 5th Senate District, which includes Breckinridge, Gray-son, Hancock, Hart, Larue and Meade counties.

The ultimate goal of the Viewpoints pageis to encourage frank and lively discussionon topics of interest in Meade County.

Editorial

I had a dream come true on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

On Kentucky Educational Television’s “Kentucky To-night” Monday, I got to pro-mote charter schools that promise to free thousands of students trapped in Ken-tucky’s failing schools.

Pastor Jerry Stephenson, minister of inner-city Lou-isville’s Midwest Church of Christ, joined me on the program.

The church, through its after-school tutoring center, helps poor, black children from getting left behind — many of whom come from homes with a legacy of il-literacy. This church and a handful of others in Lou-isville operate after-school programs on shoestring budgets but accomplish more than what Jefferson County Public Schools man-age to do with a $900-mil-lion budget.

Also appearing on Mon-day’s program was Sharron Oxendine, chief “labor boss” at the state teachers union, and Sheldon Berman, JCPS

superintendent. Berman gets a six-fi gure,

taxpayer-funded salary to ensure the 98,000 students in the commonwealth’s largest school district become pre-pared to further their educa-tion and compete in a global, information-age workplace.

But on “Kentucky To-night,” he opposed charter schools, an idea proven to accomplish just that.

Berman berated char-ters, calling them a “failed reform” in Massachu-setts, where he previously worked. On Monday, he claimed only two Massa-chusetts charter schools re-ally performed well.

Perhaps he had a “bureau-crat moment.” At the very least, he’s slightly confused. Berman co-wrote a report on charter schools in Mas-sachusetts and even told the Boston Globe “What we’re saying is it’s possible to have public schools and charter schools stand side by side and learn from each other.”

Berman’s previous honest praise for charters was — and remains — supported by the facts.

The Massachusetts De-partment of Education reported that 30 percent of charter schools outper-formed schools in same dis-

tricts in 2005, and the trend for charters was improving.

Berman’s fl ip-fl opping — he supported charters before he opposed them — reminds me of one of his fellow Bay Staters who once claimed he was for the war before he was against it.

Berman should have stuck to the facts Monday.

Instead, he claimed — on the King holiday no less: “The data on charter schools is that it’s truly a failed re-form, particularly for Af-rican-American students, particularly for low-income students.”

Talk about sacrilege. The majority of the 1.5

million enrolled in the 5,000-plus charter schools nation-wide is minority students or those who come from low-income households. And re-cent reports show that those heavily minority charter schools outperform regular schools in places such as Boston and New York City.

Many of these students — the kind Stephenson and his fellow ministers help — fall through the cracks of the one-size-fi ts-all public education system that badly needs to become more than just a tired monopoly that breathes a sigh of relief when real reform gets stymied.

Berman wasn’t the only

one with problems Monday.Oxendine became upset

when anyone suggests that her union provides an ob-stacle to improving public education.

Just the facts, ma’am: The Fordham Founda-tion recently reported that Jefferson County has a “highly restrictive” collec-tive bargaining agreement that “makes it diffi cult for schools to be nimble, smart, fl exible, high-performing organizations.”

That’s a huge obstacle!On Tuesday, folks in Mas-

sachusetts, Berman’s for-mer state, showed they are willing to shake things up. Perhaps Frankfort’s politi-cal leaders will do the same with our state’s education system. Perhaps lawmakers will wise up, ignore fact-challenged “educrats” and pass charter school legisla-tion.

It would make another dream come true: Kennedy’s hope that no child – includ-ing those in Berman’s dis-trict — gets left behind.

Waking from a dream to an education nightmare

Education bills passed, real work begins with budget

Senate bills center on veterans, health; budget building begins

Filling the voids at local businessesIt would be diffi cult to shed a disparaging light on the

new Regional Education Center in Radcliff; it’s foremost objective is to fi ne-tune local residents into federal gov-ernment-worthy job applicants.

The center is an excellent addition, and will hopeful-ly be put to good use by many Meade County citizens, however, one key concern may have been left in the dark as the Human Resource Center of Excellence nears com-pletion. The opportunity for Meade, Hardin, Grayson and Breckinridge county workers to jump onboard on post may not have been able to come at a better time. These federal job positions will offer the competitive pay, health insurance and retirement packages that are scarce to come by these days. But what about the local employer who loses his or her staff to these high-paying, benefi t-soaked jobs?

Years ago, initial discussions about BRAC included conjoint efforts to replenish the job vacancies regional businesses will surely endure once the hiring process on post begins en masse. But these discussions, unfortu-nately, must have tapered off a long time ago.

An employer can’t blame a staff member for better-ing himself or herself by pursuing a step up with a fed-eral government job, but what an employer can blame is a far-reaching oversight throughout the entire BRAC process.

While Fort Knox is and always has been nothing shy of an artery of revenue and exposure for rural Meade County — making it, of course, one of the best neighbors a farming community could have — someone needs to be looking out for our small business owners.

private practice in 1982.For more than 22 of his

27 years of legal experi-ence, David has served as a prosecutor: fi rst, as as-sistant county attorney and then as assistant Common-wealth’s attorney. Williams served as Assistant Com-monwealth’s Attorney for 18 years.

As an assistant county attorney serving Grayson County, David handled misdemeanors and pre-pared cases to be sent up to the circuit court. As assis-tant Commonwealth’s At-

torney for the 46th Judicial District, David prosecuted felonies and prepared cas-es to be presented to the Grand Jury.

As Assistant Common-wealth’s Attorney, Wil-liams has prosecuted cases involving murder, child molestation, rape, burglary, arson, drugs and more.

Williams commented that he is not a politician but he is a citizen of the Common-wealth of Kentucky who is interested in protecting the safety and security of our communities.

David stated that he had worked well with law enforcement offi cials and would always be available to advise all law enforce-ment offi cers on issues re-

lated to the fulfi llment of their duty.

“My goal as Common-wealth’s Attorney is to pro-tect and serve the citizens of Meade, Breckinridge, and Grayson counties by being fi rm, independent, and fair in the prosecu-tion of the criminals who threaten the safety of our communities,” Williams commented. “I hope to see as many people as possible but, with three counties, that will be diffi cult.

“I welcome anyone with any thoughts or comments about my campaign to con-tact me by phone (270-259-6362) or stop by my offi ce in Leitchfi eld.”

Williams will be running on the Republican ticket.

Submitted press release

Stan Heslep proudly an-nounces his candidacy to run in the Democratic pri-mary for sheriff of Meade County.

Stan grew up in the Fla-herty area of Meade Coun-ty. He is a 1965 graduate of Flaherty High School. He married Brenda Kaye Nall in November 1966. They have two daugh-ters, Kimberly, married to Garry Hicks, and Christie, married to Mark Board, and have four grandchil-dren: Logan Hicks and Jar-rett, Ryleigh, and Braydin Board. Stan and Brenda re-side on the family farm in Buck Grove.

Stan is a U.S. Army com-bat veteran of the Vietnam War. He owns C & S Pump-ing, and has just recently retired with more than 29 years as a civil service em-ployee of the U.S. Army.

Stan’s police experience spans 40 years which be-gan right after high school when he went to work for the FBI Laboratory in Washington, D.C., as a photographic assistant.

Stan returned to Meade County in 1966 and started work with the Kentucky State Police at the Eliza-bethtown Post as a police

dispatcher. He was drafted into the Army in 1967 and served as a military police-man at Fort Knox and the Republic of Vietnam until 1969.

Upon return to Meade County, Stan entered the Kentucky State Police Academy as a cadet trooper and graduated in Decem-ber 1969. He worked as a trooper and a state boating offi cer until 1978.

Beginning in 1978, Stan served as a Meade County deputy sheriff under three sheriffs; this association spanned almost 30 years. During this same time, he worked as the crime prevention offi cer for the Fort Knox military police from 1984 to 1993, with Fort Knox being nation-

ally recognized three years running as one of the best crime prevention programs in the nation.

Stan also worked for Radcliff, Ky., and Vine Grove, Ky., police depart-ments during the late 1980s and early 1990s where he was able to gain valuable experience in community policing. While working at Fort Knox, Stan supervised a 60-man disaster response team that worked to sup-port FEMA in response to four hurricanes that im-pacted Florida in 2004. His team was deployed to the Mississippi Gulf Coast prior to arrival of Hurri-cane Katrina in 2005 to be in place to provide Depart-ment of Defense emergen-cy response and recovery support to the area after the hurricane’s landfall.

Stan’s most recent ex-perience with the Army has been the mobilization training of Reserve and National Guard Soldiers to prepare them for combat operations in Iraq and Af-ghanistan.

Stan feels that his exten-sive police and military training background and well-rounded experience in all elements of polic-ing, emergency prepared-ness and community ser-

vice have prepared him to serve the citizens of Meade County as their sheriff.

“Meade County has giv-en me so many opportuni-ties to live and grow in a great environment,” Stan stated. ”This has been the best of places that I know to raise my family and I want to give back to this great community by serv-ing as your next sheriff. I need your vote!”

Heslep announces his run in sheriff’s race

MAC focus of luncheon, gala upcomingBy Laura Saylor

[email protected]

One of the largest turn-out’s in recent months for a Meade County Area Cham-ber of Commerce monthly luncheon took place Jan. 21 at Doe Run Inn, the business sponsor for the month.

Doe Run Inn owner Jim Greer introduced the res-taurant’s new chef, Bret Donaldson, to the full-house crowd and also gave a list of updates and im-provements that have oc-curred at the inn over the last few months.

Attention then steered toward the Meade Activ-ity Center (MAC) — a hot topic since plans for the po-tential new health facility were made public nearly a year ago.

John Beavin, MAC chair-man, and Jason Sutton, who heads community re-lations on the MAC com-mittee, were on-hand to provide information and entertain questions about

the project.After a brief slideshow

presentation, Sutton and Beavin both shed light on numerous questions from those in attendance, such as how much the facility will cost, where it will be locat-ed, who will pay for it, who will own it and what types of amenities it will include.

Sutton said the center will be owned by the Meade Ac-tivity Center, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofi t organization, and preliminary plans show the center offering an indoor pool, exercise equipment, a basketball court, a walking track, an aerobics room and a community room that can be rented for public use.

Specifi c details about size, cost and location are aren’t solidifi ed yet because, Sut-ton said, the project is be-ing steampowered by the community.

“We want to see what the community wants fi rst,” he said.

Beavin said the MAC committee’s goal is for the center to be publicly fund-ed and supported by mem-berships.

A MAC Gala will be held Feb. 9 at the Meade County Farm Bureau building as a way to garner support for the unfolding project. PGA golfer Kenny Perry will be the keynote speaker.

Sutton said more than half of the tickets for the gala are already sold. They may be purchased at the Meade County Extension Service offi ce and at the Kentucky Farm Bureau of-fi ces in Brandenburg and Flaherty.

Submitted by the Gov.’s Communication Offi ce

FRANKFORT — On Wednesday, Jan. 27, Gover-nor Steve Beshear released the follow statement, mark-ing the one-year anniversa-ry of the 2009 ice storm:

“One year ago today, our citizens endured the worst natural disaster in our state’s modern history — a devastating ice storm that toppled trees, damaged property and left hundreds of thousands of families without power in the cold-est days of the winter. The

needs were great. Families needed more than just food and shelter; they needed the reassurance that things would eventually be all right.

In my travels around the state in those terribly cold days that followed, I was heartened and proud of the way Kentuckians re-sponded. Strangers opened their homes to neighbors in need. Students checked on the elderly. Churches and community centers served up hot meals to all comers, and emergency responders and utility workers toiled

around the clock to restore much-needed power.

We lost 36 Kentuckians as a result of the ice storm. Without the steady work of state and local emergency workers and volunteers, the number undoubtedly would have been higher. We owe them our thanks for their tireless efforts.

In the midst of tremen-dous hardship, our true character as Kentuckians was revealed. On this an-niversary of a terrible di-saster, I commend our citi-zens for their resiliency and spirit.”

QUESTION: I have very little time to spend with my children these days, but I make sure the hours we do get to spend togeth-er are meaningful. Do you agree that the quality of time you are with your kids is more impor-tant than the quantity?

DR. DOBSON: I’m afraid the logic of that concept is flawed to me.

The question is: Why do we have to choose between the vir-tues of quantity versus quality?

We won’t accept that forced choice in any other area of our lives. So why is it only relevant to our children?

Let me illustrate my point. Let’s suppose you’ve looked for-ward all day to eating at one of the finest restaurants in town.

The waiter brings you a menu, and you order the most expen-sive steak in the house.

But when the meal arrives, you

see a tiny piece of meat about one-inch square in the center of the plate.

When you complain about the size of the steak, the waiter says, “Sir, I recognize that the por-tion is small, but that’s the fin-est corn-fed beef money can buy. You’ll never find a better bite of meat than we’ve served you to-night. As to the portion, I hope you understand that it’s not the quantity that matters, it’s the quality that counts.”

You would object, and for good reason.

Why?Because both quality and

quantity are important in many areas of our lives, including how we relate to children.

They need our time and the best we have to give them.

My concern is that the quan-tity-versus-quality argument might be a poorly disguised ra-tionalization for giving our chil-dren — neither.

QUESTION: My wife and I have two very strong-willed kids who are hard to handle. They seem to need to test us,

and they’re the happiest and most contented when we are the toughest on them.

Why do they insist on making us growl at them and even pun-ish them more than we’d like to?

DR. DOBSON: It is curious, isn’t it, that some children seem to enjoy fighting with their par-ents?

It’s a function of the pugna-cious temperament with which they are born. Many kids just like to run things and seem to enjoy picking fights.

There is another factor that is related to a child’s sense of se-curity.

Let me illustrate it this way. Imagine you’re driving a car over the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, which is suspended hundreds of feet above the can-yon floor.

As a first-time traveler, you’re pretty tense as you drive across. It is a scary experience.

I knew one little fellow who was so awed by the view over the side of the bridge that he said, “Wow, Daddy! If you fell off of here, it’d kill you constantly!”

Now suppose there were no guardrails on the side of the bridge.

Where would you steer the car?

Right down the middle of the road.

Even though you don’t plan to hit those protective railings along the side, you just feel more secure knowing that they’re there.

It’s the same way with chil-dren.

There is security in defined limits.

They need to know precisely what the rules are and who’s available to enforce them.

Whenever a strong-willed child senses that the boundaries may have moved, or that his or her parents may have lost their nerve, he or she will often pre-cipitate a fight just to test the limits again.

They may not admit that they want you to be the boss, but they breathe easier when you prove that you are.

QUESTION: What do you think of the phrase “Children

should be seen and not heard?”DR. DOBSON: That statement

reveals a profound ignorance of children and their needs.

I can’t imagine how any lov-ing adult could raise a vulner-able little boy or girl by that phi-losophy.

Children are like clocks, they must be allowed to run!

Questions and answers are excerpted from “Complete Marriage and Fam-ily Home Reference Guide” and “Bringing Up Boys,” both pub-lished by Tyndale House.

2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (NASB).

Each year, organizations compile their lists of the various individuals and corporations who made the largest contributions to charity during that year. Often, the dollar fi gures given in these reports are staggering.

For example, in 2003 alone, the chairman of one computer company donated more than $673 million; the chairman of a fi nancial company donated more than $409 million; the chairman of a communi-

cations company donated more than $141 million; and the chairman of an In-ternet company donated just a little more than $80 million.

Now, without taking anything away from these incredibly generous indi-viduals who gave these millions out of a genuine desire to help others, it is a bit easier to part with all this cash if you are the head of a profi table cor-poration with a net worth in the mult-billion-dollar range. It is much harder to part with when you have a net worth in the single digit range and you’re not sure there will be enough money to even get through the next week.

The amazing thing is that God doesn’t really care about how much money you give or even how often you give it. What he truly desires is that you trust in His grace and provision for

your life, not in your own means.

He wants you to give without regret, without worry, and without won-dering if you will “get it back“ somehow. For it is only when you let go and put your fi nancial security in the Lord that He can tru-ly bless you.

Your name will probably never appear in the paper because of your consistent, dedicated or self-sacrifi c-ing giving. But be assured that no act of kindness or giving will go unnoticed by your Heavenly Father.

Reverend Dan Newton is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church.

A fi re started on some grassland near a farm. The county fi re department was called to put out the fi re. The fi re was more than the county fi re department could handle.

Someone suggested that a nearby volunteer bunch be called. Despite some doubt that the volunteer outfi t would be of any as-sistance, the call was made. The volunteers arrived in a dilapidated old fi re truck. They rumbled straight to-wards the fi re, drove right

into the middle of the fl ames and stopped!

The fi remen jumped off the truck and frantically started spraying water in all directions. Soon they had snuffed out the cen-ter of the fi re, breaking the blaze into two easily con-trolled parts.

Watching all this, the farmer was so impressed with the volunteer fi re de-partment’s work and was so grateful that his farm had been spared, that right there on the spot he pre-sented the volunteers with a check for $1,000.

A local news reporter asked the volunteer fi re captain what the depart-ment planned to do with the funds.

“That ought to be obvi-ous,” he responded, wip-ing ashes off his coat. “The fi rst thing we’re gonna do is get the brakes fi xed on our fi re truck!”

How many times have we looked at a situation thinking that there is noth-ing we can do about it? Sometimes it is only when we are forced into action do we realize what we are capable of doing. The next time you are faced with something you think you can’t do anything about, jump right in there.

You never know what you can do until you try.

Kubrick,Nicholson shine in ‘Shining’

The Shining, (1980) After viewing this

fi lm for the fi rst time, I was nothing short of amazed. This movie is pure psychological horror at its absolute fi nest, and Stanley Kubrick’s fi lm direction and unique camera angles only help to further immerse you in the captivating performances of the lead actors.

“The Shining” is about an author who accepts a job as caretaker of a ski lodge in Colorado during the off season. He, his wife and his little boy are the only people in the lodge throughout the entire win-ter season, October to May.

They are in complete and utter isolation, so the author — by the name of Jack Torrence, played by Jack Nicholson — fi nds it would be a great oppor-tunity to work on a new novel. This is the setup for “The Shining.”

Isolation and its obvi-ous effects play their part in the story, but to make matters worse, Jack is a recovering alcoholic in a lodge with no alcohol. The story unfolds from there in what you may call typical Stephen King fashion.

There isn’t much plot detail else I can delve into without spoiling every-thing. Without a doubt, the highlight of the entire movie is Jack Nicholson’s performance. During one scene in particular, he de-livers a chilling monologue that sent shivers up and down my spine. Nicholson has such a distinctive face and very expressive eyes (and eyebrows) which pair well with his phenomenal acting, making you wholly believe in his character.

You aren’t watching Jack Nicholson playing a role in a movie, you’re watching Jack Torrence fall apart.

There were several un-comfortable moments dur-ing his performance where I caught myself fi ghting back a gasping laugh — not because he did some-thing funny, but because I was so dumbfounded by the brilliance of his charac-ter. If it weren’t for Nichol-son in the role, this would honestly just be a pretty mediocre horror fi lm; but with his performance and Kubrick’s unique way of presenting it, it’s no won-der this fi lm has earned its place as one of the greatest fi lms of all time.

Having discussed the greatest aspect of this movie, there are still a few more things to mention. I felt a few minutes could’ve been shaved from the fi rst half of the movie, especial-ly around the second quar-ter or so where it really starts to get a little droll. But once the movie starts picking up, it manages to stay in a constant state of tension and wonderment — an odd mix, to be sure, but it all works out won-derfully. There’s plenty of self-examination going on here, and for those skilled at reading between the lines, one can start to see exactly how the wheels turn inside Jack Torrence’s deluded mind.

If you haven’t seen this movie, don’t deny yourself the pleasure any longer.

Note: Just for the record, I haven’t read Stephen King’s book, which the movie is an adaptation of, so my review is based solely on my fi rst experience with this story is from the movie, without any preconceived notions of plot to distort my initial reactions.

Hardin, Meade and neigh-boring counties.

Four post-secondary edu-cation institutions and two training providers will oper-ate out of the Regional Edu-cation Center, and many of the courses they’ll offer will correlate with BRAC job op-portunities.

“Today we are making history,” said Radcliff may-or Sheila Enyart. “We are responding to the needs of area residents, our employ-ers and education and train-ing providers in a new and unprecedented way.”

Lindsey Wilson College, Midway College, Sullivan University, Webster Univer-sity, Tandem Solution, and McConnell Technology and Training Center will all op-erate out of the Regional Ed-ucation Center. Because the six entities will share class-room space, equipment and some staff, courses are able to be offered at low costs.

Enyart said the endeavor is made possible through the joint efforts of those learning institutions, the city of Radc-liff — which owns the build-ing — and the North Central Education Foundation.

Al Rider, executive di-

rector of the North Central Education Foundation, said the center is one way of achieving the governor’s goal of upping Kentucky’s education standards.

“Never has higher educa-tion been more affordable or more accessible,” he said.

Col. Mark Needham, special assistant to the gov-ernor for BRAC activities and former garrison com-mander of Fort Knox, said the new center will change education standards in the region “dramatically” — a necessary step in produc-ing a local, viable workforce because “the transformation at Fort Knox is nothing short of amazing.”

“If there’s one thing we

Representatives from the four colleges/universities and two training schools all gave remarks about their respective institution’s his-tory and purpose; most hope to have courses up and running sometime in the spring.

During an open house held Jan. 22, Radcliff mayor Sheila Enyart comments on the partnerships that have made the Regional Education Center possible.

The winter months bring fewer hours of daylight, colder temperatures and more wet weather. Couch potato syndrome is on the rise which means getting the proper amount of physical activity may require creative thinking, especially for chil-dren not involved in school sports programs.

Children should engage in at least one hour of physical activity every day. This does not have to happen all at one time. Just 10 minutes of physical activity can result in health benefi ts.

Three types of exercise: aer-obic activity, muscle strength-ening and bone strengthen-ing are important for health in growing children. Physical activity can be a combination of any of these three.

The greatest part of the exercise hour should be spent doing aerobic activi-ties which involve moving lots of muscles at one time. Running, brisk walking, bik-ing and swimming activities include choices to get the heart rate up and the body moving.

Muscle strengthening activities include exercises such as pushups and sit ups. Bone strengthening exer-cises focus on putting a little pressure on bones and may include stair climbing or lift-ing and carrying.

A good goal for children is to participate in these activi-ties at least three days a week. Even when the weather out-side is frightful, children can still get the physical activity they need.

Using things found in and around the home can provide opportuni-

ties for family fun and exercise.

Here are some indoor ac-tivity ideas along with the appropriate age for partici-pants:

Stair climber For ages six and up. All

you need is a set of stairs and a stop watch. Take turns to see how fast you can get up the stairs and back down. Challenge family members to beat the fastest time.

Pushup ChallengeFor ages 5 and up. See who

will be the pushup champion of the week. Challenge one another to see who can do the most pushups in one minute from week to week and you will be amazed at the increase of strength in the whole fam-ily. This also works with sit ups or crunches.

Chinese Jump Rope For ages six and up. Using

basic materials this game is fun for everyone. Tie a rope around the legs of two chairs set approximately four feet apart. Take turns jumping into and out of the ropes be-tween the chairs.

After everyone has a turn, raise the rope up a little bit. Start with easy combinations such as jumping in and out of the ropes, and then let ev-eryone make up a different pattern. Some examples: two feet jump ropes, and then let everyone make up a different pattern.

A good exercise program is not only important for the physical health of growing children, but it also can be a positive motivator that boosts our moods and energy levels during a traditionally less ac-tive time of year.

NOW HERE’S A TIP!By JoAnn Derson

•“Here’s how to keep pet hair out of drains when bathing pets indoors, which is something we have to do when the weather is cold. We fi nd that a wad of steel wool pushed into the drain will catch all the hairs. It’s easy to remove the whole thing. I place it in a dish to drain, and when it’s dry, I can just shake the hairs into the trash. I save it in a zipper-top bag for just this purpose, as it can be used over and over again.” —R.G. in Michigan

•If you have coffee mugs or teacups that are stained inside, rub the insides with a little bit of dishwasher detergent. Rinse well and dry.

•“I have saved an old hairbrush, and I keep it by my clothes dryer. I’m able to remove lint from the trap easily using the brush. I also can run it over the top of the clothes dryer to pick up stray lint that falls off the trap as I am cleaning it. And it helps to run a wet towel over both the clothes washer and dryer to keep them clean. I do this as I am washing towels.” —I.L. in Kansas

•Make sure you limit the use of your bathroom fans during the winter, as they pump your warmed air outside.

•Be sure to check your pets’ feet this time of year. Pads can crack from cold weather, and they can get rashes from salt exposure. Treat Fluffy to a canine or feline pedicure. Wipe feet with a moist washcloth to clean, then rub in some petroleum jelly.


when school buses are making their routes.

“Be extra cautious in the

mornings and afternoons of students waiting for or being dropped off the bus-es,” she said. “As we travel to work or home, it’s very easy to be in a hurry or have our mind elsewhere. Our children are very im-

portant to all of us. “Likewise, please re-

mind your own kids of the importance of watching out for safety dangers as they wait for the bus or get home in the afternoons.

Local authorities are

continuing to investigate the incident.

Anyone with informa-tion about the hit-and-run is asked to please contact the Meade County Sher-iff’s Department 270-422-4937.

Winter weather emergen-cies can be diffi cult for many older Kentuckians. Senior citizens should consider safety concerns, including falling, hypothermia and frost bite, before venturing out in bad weather.

Many seniors have medi-cal conditions that require treatment. They may run low on medicine or have no way to get to their fam-ily doctor. In the event of a medical emergency, call 911 fi rst. Some pharmacies may deliver medications, even in bad weather. Call your pharmacist or physician with questions about medi-cations.

When ice and snow are on the ground, older adults who go outside should practice extreme caution. Roads, sidewalks and steps could be slick and hazard-ous. If you have to ven-ture outdoors, try to avoid walking on icy or snow

covered sidewalks. Wear boots with non-skid soles and keep your driveway, sidewalks and front steps shoveled and salted to help prevent falls. Those with a heart condition, osteoporo-sis or trouble with balance may want to hire someone to shovel for them as these conditions can be aggravat-ed by overexertion.

If you have to drive, make sure your car is winter-ized with antifreeze, good tires and windshield wip-ers. Check weather reports before leaving and try to avoid icy roads, overpasses and bridges. Drive slow and with extreme caution. If you have a cell phone, take it with you and be sure to tell a family member or neighbor where you are go-ing. Carry emergency sup-plies, including a fi rst aid kit, blankets, extra clothes, boots, windshield scrapers, sandbags, jumper cables, water, dried food and a fl ashlight. If possible, avoid driving altogether and rely on a family member, friend or neighbor to help you.

Extremely cold tempera-tures increase the chances of hypothermia and frost

bite. Know the warning signs. Warning signs of hypothermia include shiv-ering; cold, pale or ashy skin; feeling tired, confused or sleepy; feeling weak; problems walking; slowed breathing or heart rate. Frost bite warning signs include discolored skin in-cluding red, white, ashy or grayish-yellow. The skin may also feel waxy or numb. If you experience any of these conditions, seek medical attention im-mediately.

It is best for older adults to stay indoors at a tem-perature of at least 65 de-grees, but if you must go outside, be sure to wear several loose-fi tting layers of thin clothing along with a hat, gloves, coat, boots and scarf, and do not stay in the cold or wind for very long. Shivering is a warn-ing sign the body is losing heat. If you start to shiver, go inside!

Keeping warm inside the house can be hazardous too. Fireplaces and wood and gas stoves must be properly ventilated to pre-vent dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide, a deadly

gas that cannot be seen or smelled, from leaking. Kerosene and electric heat-ers are also potential fi re hazards. Be sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors work properly, and have your fi replace and wood stove chimneys inspected. Crack a window when us-ing a kerosene heater, and keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from objects. Keep a working fi re extin-guisher in the home, and never heat a home with a gas stove, charcoal grill, or other item not intended for home heating.

Winter weather can be extremely hazardous and challenging for older adults. Community mem-bers, neighbors and loved ones should be sensitive to their needs, especially if their area loses electricity. More information on han-dling winter weather emer-gencies is available at the Meade County Cooperative Extension Service at 270-422-4958.

Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

Homeowner wins free bathroom makeover from Heath Construction

By Lindsey [email protected]

Nina Chism of Brandenburg re-cently won a free labor contest sponsored by Heath Construction and Fusion Tan in Brandenburg and started off the new year with a new-ly remodeled bathroom.

Kenny Heath, owner of Heath Construction, said close to 50 people entered the contest, the fi rst one of its kind by Heath Construction, by fi lling out a form either at Fusion Tan or at First Federal Bank.

“Times are rough,” Heath said. “I’m sure everybody’s got some-thing they want to change about their house.”

Chism’s winning entry allowed her the choice of one room remod-

el, paid for by Heath Construction. Chism chose her bathroom and Heath said they “completely gut-ted” the room.

They removed an existing bar-rier wall, replaced the bathtub, toilet and sinks, cut down Chism’s bath-room mirror into two round mirrors, installed new vanities and painted and trimmed, just to name a few.

Heath said once the construction

was underway, Chism’s ceiling was also replaced, due to a leak found from the attic.

The whole project took about a week and a half of work, done over the span of three weekends.

“She seemed very happy with her transformation,” Heath said.

The contest is something Heath hopes to continue, either once a year or once every two years.

Brandenburg resident Nina Chism had her bathroom remodeled for free after she was the winner of a free labor contest held by Heath Construction. To the left is a picture of the bathroom before construction, below is the renovated room.

On Dec. 10, 2009, Meade County High School’s Future Busi-ness Leaders of Amer-ica offi cers and a few active members partici-pated in Unite to Read.

Unite to Read was a project in which high school students vis-ited kindergarten stu-dents at Brandenburg Primary school to read a festive holiday book, play games, and enjoy the Christmas season.

Members dressed up for this special event to provide a holiday atmosphere to the kin-dergarten students and took turns reading the book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

Some students from the primary school en-

joyed the high school’s program so much they asked if we were com-ing back for Easter!

After all the fun was over, Meade County FBLA donated to each of the kindergarten classes their own copy of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”

FBLA’s new pro-gram Unite to Read also counts as a com-munity service project towards Meade Coun-ty’s FBLA chapter at the next regional com-petition at Western Kentucky University, Feb. 25.

You can find more information on FBLA and upcoming events on Meade County High Schools Web page or you can visit MCHS FBLA on Face-book.

SPMS academic team advances to regionalsBy Laura Saylor

[email protected]

Seventeen seventh- and eighth-grade Stuart Pep-per Middle School stu-dents traveled to Clover-port, Ky., last weekend where they competed in the Governor’s Cup dis-trict 13 competition and finished, as a team, in sec-ond place.

Individuals vied for first place in six categories — mathematics, science, so-cial studies, language arts, composition and arts and humanities — by complet-ing written assessment exams. As a team, the stu-dents competed in “Quick Recall” — an event that encourages students to answer questions quickly

and correctly — and “Fu-ture Problem Solving,” which asks to children to demonstrate an awareness of the future and creativity in their detailed answers.

SPMS’s “Future Problem Solving” team placed sec-ond at Saturday’s competi-tion. Team members were Cassidy Adams, Adrienne Poole, Tabitha Thomas, Katelyn Allen and Cova Haynes.

SPMS also won second place as a whole during the “Quick Recall” challenge.

Individual winners were: Jessa Pollard, fifth place in mathematics; Jessa Pollard, fourth place in science; Cova Haynes, first place in composition; Emma Bell, fourth place in composition; David

Hale. second place in so-cial studies; David Hale, fourth place in arts and humanities; and Annie DeVries, fifth place in arts and humanities.

At the end of the day, SPMS tallied 26.5 team points, earning the silver finish. Breckinridge Coun-ty Middle School claimed first with 60 points, St. Romuald School was third with 23 points, Frederick Fraize Middle School was fourth with 12 points and West Point Elementary School placed fifth with 1.5 points.

Becky Hacker, seventh grade science teacher and SPMS Governor’s Cup Team advisor, is proud of the middle school partici-pants and looks forward to

the regional competition to be held Feb. 13 at J. T. Alton Elementary School in Vine Grove, Ky.

“We did pretty well as a whole,” Hacker said. “I’m very happy with that.”

The team has been prac-ticing since August by studying, answering prac-tice questions and doing a variety of research un-der the supervision of the group’s other advisors: seventh grade math teach-er Nicole Geswein and Joy Adams, Spanish and art teacher at Brandenburg Primary School.

The Governor’s Cup program was initiated in 1986 and is an extracurric-ular event held statewide that promotes and recog-nizes academic success.

Recipeof•the•week

I love watching football games with family and friends. All the cheering, jeering and excitement cre-ate a hearty appetite. These Southwestern-style mini ap-petizers will satisfy the big-gest football fans without taking the host or hostess away from the game. Keep the buffet dishes warm in a crockpot or in an electric skillet set on low.

Complete your football buffet table with a large bowl of salad, bottles of salad dressing, bowls of shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, tortilla chips, a basket of dinner rolls and disposable plates, napkins and dinnerware. Pitchers of tea and water will keep your guests re-freshed and allow them to serve themselves.

No matter how your team scores, these recipes are a winner!

Meade County High School Honor Roll, 2nd term


From kickboxing and nail painting to belly dancing and body bronzing, Fusion Tan & Spa offers a variety of services that may not be dis-cernible based on the name alone.

The shop hosts traditional tanning and beauty treat-ments, but co-owner Kim Clark said the “fusion” in the business’s name origi-nated with her and co-own-er Kenny Heath’s intentions to meld together a plethora of amenities that may not have been offered before in Meade County.

The shop — located at 520 East Broadway in Branden-burg across from St. John the Apostle Catholic Church, — opened in April 2008 and continues to grow with each passing week.

Prior to Fusion Tan, Clark was trained as a massage therapist and opened two tanning and spa service busi-nesses in Indiana. After a 20 year career in management, she decided to get back to a more people-oriented fi eld. After multiple discussions with friend Kenny Heath, the duo opened the Bran-denburg store and have been pressing forward ever since.

“I wanted to get back to doing something I really liked,” Clark said.

“The opportunity was there and we took it,” Heath said.

In addition to tanning beds and salon services, Clark said she always in-tended to be open to cus-tomers’ suggestions for im-provement.

“Anything customers suggest, we’ll give a dry run and see if it works out,” Clark. “There was just a need for some of the servic-es we offer in the county.”

Upon a customer’s fi rst visit to Fusion Tan for tan-ning, Clark will perform a skin check that allows her to recommend the best lotions and appropriate tanning routine for that individual.

“We treat people with psoriasis, eczemas, muscle relief ... some of them come to us with doctor’s prescrip-

tions,” Clark said.She takes seriously cus-

tomers’ concerns about health risks they associate with tanning, but Clark keeps literature on-hand that documents research and scientifi c studies about indoor tanning to put cus-tomers’ questions or con-cerns to rest.

“Some people hear (tan-ning) is bad for them and don’t go any further to learn about it or ... see that it’s not for themselves,” Clark said.

Presently, Fusion Tan houses four beds and one stand-up tanning bed. Ad-ditional rooms are being constructed, however, be-cause three new beds are on the way.

Paint on tan is also avail-able, as are body wrap services.

Clark recalled one session during which a client lost 16 inches off her body after her fi rst body wrap.

“It was pretty amazing,” she said.

Spa treatments and mas-sages are held in a calming, cozy room that allows pa-trons to wholly relax for the duration of their session. Nail painting, hair styling, waxing and ear piercing all

operate out of Fusion Tan & Spa, but for those want to break a sweat before they enter stress relief mode can take part in some of the many classes held at the shop, for both children and adults.

Kickboxing and self de-fense classes are held regu-larly in an open gym area at the rear of the store. Tues-day evenings are reserved for Zumba classes — a calorie-burning, muscle-toning style of exercise that combines merengue, sam-ba, mambo and salsa into an exciting and energetic routine.

“Do You Wanna Dance?” classes will begin in the spring and will teach eight popular dances in only four weeks.

Clark said parents should re-think their commutes to Elizabethtown, Ky., or Louisville just to take their children to dance or cheer-leading classes and should instead consider some of the classes offered in their own backyard.

Fusion Tan & Spa holds weekly dance, cheerlead-ing, tumbling and kickbox-ing classes for kids.

“They get a lot of person-

al attention and they’re not stuck doing the same thing every week in a big class,” Clark said. “It’s pretty much something different every week.”

Whether a life-long tan-ning bed devotee or a fi rst-timer, Fusion Tan & Spa of-fers the essentials, and them some.

Backed with years of ex-perience and knowledge, Clark and Heath have es-tablished a unique local get-away where customers can choose to relax on a mas-sage bed or engage in a full throttle work out that can be both enjoyable and ful-fi lling.

“We’re really picky,”

Clark said. “We only offer services that we would use ourselves ... and we’re just all about our customers. Whatever they want, we try to give them.”

Contact Fusion Tan & Spa at 270-422-3800. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., closed Sundays and holidays.

The McConnell Train-ing and Technology Center (MTTC) will host a Wired65 Entrepreneurial Networking Seminar next month. It will take place at 1 p.m. on Feb. 11 at MTTC’s Industry Road location. All 50 seats are avail-able fi rst-come fi rst-serve at no cost. Those interested must register at www.wired65.org.

“These unique seminars will educate participants on resources available for aspir-ing entrepreneurs and exist-ing small business owners. Participants will meet, re-ceive advice, and hear ‘les-sons learned’ from successful business owners and busi-ness development advisors,” said Bill Thompson, Director, Workforce Development, Mc-Connell Training and Tech-nology Center (MTTC).

“Breakout sessions will provide an opportunity to learn about specialized top-ics and network with experi-enced business professionals and other seminar attendees,” added Thompson.

Thompson and the team

at MTTC are organizing and conducting the seminars as part of the Wired65 Quantum Fund project.

WIRED (Workforce Inno-vation in Regional Economic Development) is a U.S. De-partment of Labor Program that provides funding to regions to better integrate workforce and economic de-velopment activities.

The 26-county Wired65 re-gion, which includes South-ern Indiana and the Louisville and Elizabethtown metro areas in Kentucky, received the funds along with 38 other regions in the nation and is focusing on programs to pro-mote economic prosperity through raising educational attainment, strengthening key sectors, and embracing innovation.

The centerpiece of the Wired65 quantum fund proj-ect is an online portal that will provide employment and training opportunities, job listings and the latest employ-er information in one place. Called kix (The Kentucky/Indiana Exchange), the por-tal is scheduled to launch this

winter.”These seminars will give

budding entrepreneurs the opportunity to meet and learn from experienced busi-ness people,” said Michael Gritton, Executive Director of KentuckianaWorks. “They’ll get some great information, while building contacts that can help them get their busi-nesses going in the right di-rection.”

Those unable to attend the Feb. 11 seminar can instead register for the Elizabethtown, Ky., seminar on March 18.

Renovating pastures and hayfi elds to renew grass pro-ductivity is one of the most important things we can do to improve the 7 million acres that serve animal-based agri-culture in Kentucky.

Pasture renovation is a win-win situation because it decreases production costs and increases animal performance.

Farmers benefi t from in-creases in yield, quality and summer production by es-tablishing legumes in grass pastures and hayfi elds, ac-cording to more than 35 years research by the Uni-versity of Kentucky’s Col-lege of Agriculture.

Adding legumes increases the total forage yield per acres. One study showed that using red clover to reno-vate a fescue pasture pro-duced higher yields than using the equivalent of 180 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Introducing clovers into grass pastures often extends the grazing season, compared to

grass alone.A grass-legume mixture

improved forage quality in such areas as increased pal-atability, intake, digestibility and nutrient intake.

Legumes produce more summer growth than cool-season grasses.

So adding legumes pro-duces forages during a slack growth period for cool sea-son perennial grasses like fescue.

Inoculated seeds fi x nitro-gen in the soil, providing a valuable nutrient for grasses and legumes. Legumes dif-fer in their nitrogen fi xation levels. Alfalfa fi xes the most nitrogen, 200 to 300 pounds an acre each year and annual lespediza, 75 to 150 pounds. This reduces nitrogen fertil-izer expense that typically ac-counts for 30 to 60 percent of the cost of producing forages from grasses. Depending on the cost of nitrogen fertilizer, legumes can put from $30 to $150 worth of nitrogen into the soil. This more than off-sets the cost of renovation.

Offsetting livestock dis-orders caused by grasses is another benefi t of using legumes to renovate grass pastures and hayfi elds. For example, you can reduce toxicosis from endophyte-

infected tall fescue by seed-ing clovers into pastures. A recent survey showed that growing legumes with tall fescue was the primary strat-egy beef cow-calf producers used to cope with the tall fes-cue endophyte. The presence of clovers in animal diets also helps reduce grass tetany.

The higher forage quality produced by renovating grass pastures and hayfi elds leads to improved animal perfor-mance. For example, clovers provide higher nutrition lev-els than grasses. Thus, these legumes help combat poor nutrition as the primary lim-iting factor to livestock farm profi tability. Research shows that legumes improve animal growth rates, reproductive ef-fi ciency and milk production. These factors have a positive effect on gross income.

When compared to grass-es, clovers usually are higher in crude protein and digest-ibility; have higher mineral and vitamin levels, and are more rapidly digested. The end result is better animal performance.

Pasture and hayfi eld renovation makes good economic sense


Meade County Beef Club 4-H’ers held their monthly meeting Monday evening at Homer Lee and Kaye Richardson’s farm in Midway.

4-H’ers participated in an informa-tional class about the various equip-ment used for cattle maintenance. The beef club members need six educational hours before March, so they can qualify

by the state program’s standards. Once they qualify, they will be able to auction their cow stock at this summer’s Meade County Fair.

During the meeting, members also nominated offi cers for 2010: Cody Haught, president; Alex Lee, vice president; Kay-lee Compton, secretary; Nathan Turner, treasurer; Madison Brown, reporter.

An additional beef club meeting was scheduled to be held Thursday at the Meade County Extension Service offi ce.

The Meade-Breck Goat Producers are made up of mostly seasoned goat pro-ducers along with a few younger members.

President Jimmy Dowell and member Aurora Laslie want to start a new area within the goat producers that would encourage more

young members to par-ticipate. The newly formed Young Goat Producers would be open to all Meade and Breckinridge county youth that raise their own goats.

Aurora started raising pygmy goats when she was just fi ve and moved on to the Boer goats when she nine. If she had seasoned goat pro-ducers to help her along the way, the road might have

been a little smoother. She is hoping that this will

help the young members and encourage new people to try the goat industry. The Young Goat Producers will help with sales and shows and the working of the as-sociation, so they can gain further knowledge of the many different aspects of the industry.

We have members who show market and breeding

stock and some that simply raise them for commercial purposes. No matter which venue they choose, they will have someone that they can confi de in.

The fi rst meeting of the Young Goat Producers will be Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. EST.

If you would like more information, please contact Aurora Laslie at [email protected] or Carla Laslie at 270-547-0490.

FRANKFORT — The Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the Univer-sity of Kentucky Coopera-tive Extension Service and Kentucky State University are teaming up to offer bee-keeping schools throughout the state.

Whether you are a veter-an beekeeper or a beginner eager to get started, these day-long educational work-shops, held on Saturdays, offer sessions on everything from where to buy equip-

ment to tips on harvesting your fi rst batch of honey.

“Honey bees play an ex-tremely important role in Kentucky agriculture as crop pollinators,” Agricul-ture Commissioner Richie Farmer said. “Up to one-third of the food we con-sume depends in some way on honey bees. That’s why the Kentucky Department of Agriculture is proud to support these beekeeping schools and see their num-bers grow.”

There has been a steady increase in the number of beekeeping schools in

the state and the number of Kentuckians attending them. Kentucky State Apia-rist Phil Craft estimated that 800 people attended the schools last year.

The series of beekeep-ing schools kicked off Jan. 23 with the Eastern Ken-tucky Beekeeping School in Hazard, followed by the Allen County Beekeeping School Feb. 6 in Scottsville, the Southeast Beekeeping School Feb. 20 in Whitley City, the inaugural North-east Kentucky Beekeeping School Feb. 27 in More-head and the Audubon

Beekeeping School March 6 in Henderson.

The largest event will be the Bluegrass Beekeeping School March 13 at Ken-tucky State University in Frankfort. The featured speaker will be Dr. Dave Tarpy, entomology profes-sor at North Carolina State University. Kentucky State University Apiculture Ex-tension Specialist Dr. Tom Webster will teach begin-ning beekeeping sessions. Nearly 400 beekeepers and six vendors attended the 2009 Bluegrass Beekeeping School.

With last Friday’s 55-48 win over the Breckinridge County Lady Tigers, the Meade County Lady Waves are in the driver’s seat for the 11th District No. 1 seed.

“Having that No. 1 seed is worth its weight in gold in our district,” said head coach Josh Hurt. “Now we can wor-ry about getting that district championship and then make a run at the region.”

In a four-team district the No. 1 Lady Waves will most likely pair up with Cloverport Fredrick Fraize — who has yet to get a win this season — in the district tournament. A fi rst round district tournament win guarantees a regional tourna-ment spot.

The Lady Waves headed into Christmas break with a disappointing 3-7 record, but after getting an important win against Hancock County on Jan. 14 the Lady Waves knew that they had to close out the remainder of their district games.

“We really wanted to focus on our second game against Hancock,” Hurt said. “Then we get snowed out and our fi rst game of the year ends up being that Hancock game. Af-ter that win we start to get con-fi dence and that streak led up to the Breck game.”

Closing out district play wasn’t going to be easy for Meade County. On Friday, the Lady Tigers jumped out to an 8-4 lead in the fi rst quarter but by the end of the quarter the Lady Waves took a one point lead, 13-12.

“It was a battle,” Hurt said,

wave’s shooting woes didn’t get any better last Saturday when the team lost to the John Hardin Bulldogs, 41-26.

Meade County shot 18 per-cent in the fi rst half and fi n-ished the game with a measly 19 percent. Both teams com-bined for 27 percent from the fi eld to make up for 71 total missed shots in the game.

“If you believe it, we have shot it worse than this,” said Greenwave head coach Jer-ry Garris, whose team shot 14 percent during the sea-son opener against Daviess County.

On Saturday, the game re-mained close as the teams came out of the fi rst quar-ter tied, 5-5. Meade County jumped out to an early lead

when sophomore guard Cheaney Schwartz hit a 3-pointer and then a lay up to make the score 10-7 with 5 minutes left in the half. Schwartz hit both of the Greenwave’s only two 3-pointers in the game. The team went 2-for-25 from be-yond the arc (8 percent).

The Bulldogs regained con-trol with less than a minute left in the fi rst half and went into halftime with a 17-14 lead.

The third was the most devastating quarter for the Greenwave as John Hardin went on a 12-4 scoring run. In the quarter, Meade Coun-ty doubled its first half turn-overs from seven to 14.

“We got the ball where we wanted to,” Garris said of his team’s ability to break the

Swim team shows improvements at home meetBy Ben Achtabowski

[email protected]

The Meade County swim team held its annual invitational on Saturday at the Gammon Pool on Fort Knox. The girls team took first place and second place overall out of the three-team tournament.

With a first place finish the team shows improve-ment throughout the year.

“We did very good to-day,” said fi rst year Meade County head coach Josh Thompson. “Our girls got fi rst place. We can’t ask for anything better than that.”

The girls team beat Shel-by County who is now coached by ex-Greenwave coach, J.P. LaVertu. The

two teams met earlier in the season and Shelby County won.

“It’s pretty awesome,” ju-nior Ashley Crotzer said of beating her old coach. “Now we can rub it in his face.”

“We didn’t win when we went to (Shelby Coun-ty’s) pool,” junior Savan-nah Buckey said. “They whooped us pretty badly.”

Marshall County round-ed out the tri-team meet, which proved to be very competitive.

“Marshall County is a tough team,” Thompson said. “We played them be-fore and we were just bare-ly ahead of them. This time we got even more ahead of

DDR: Dance Dance Regional

By Ben [email protected]

Third-year coach Jessie Bradley knew this year’s Meade County dance team had the capability of being a Region Grand Champion.

After last year’s fi rst place fi nish in the hip-hop division, Bradley and her team decided to incorporate a second dance routine so the team would be eligible to win the prestigious grand champion award.

“We just thought we could do this,” she said. “We took

on the two (dance routines) and have practiced harder and we did it.”

On Saturday, the team’s hunch paid off as they took home three fi rst place fi nishes and the overall Grand Cham-pion for the 3rd Region tour-nament at Trinity Whitesville High School.

“(Last year’s) judges said that if we would have had two routines we probably would have won last year too,” said dance team captain Jackie

The girls team was led by Crotzer, who won the 50-yard freestyle, and anchored the 400-yard freestyle relay team’s fi rst place fi nish. The team fi nished four points ahead of Shelby with a score of 328.

On the boys team, Scott King fi nished fi rst in the 50-yard freestyle. The boys 200-yard and 400-yard free-style teams also took fi rst place. The boys team’s over-all score was 266.

“We have seen a lot of im-provements,” Crotzer said. “It’s taken some time, but we’ve defi nitely seen the whole team get better. Espe-cially the girls team.”

With the Meade County team boosting more than 60 members, it has taken a few months for the team to see the improvements they want to see.

“We came up with so many new swimmers,” Thomp-son said. “We had over 60 kids out here. Over half of them were new swimmers. It seems like each swimmer is getting faster and faster. Overall as a team we’re as good as we can be right now. I couldn’t ask for any more from this team. I’m re-ally impressed.”

whose team headed into the Breck-inridge County game with six straight wins. “It’s a type of game you expect from a district rival game. I think we came out nervous. It was a huge home crowd.”

In the second quarter, Meade County’s full court press forced several turnovers and the team had its biggest scoring quarter of the game, 19, and headed into halftime with a 32-24 lead.

“Our press really worked against them,” Hurt said, whose team had 13 steals in the game. “We started to get some tips, deflections and some steals. That’s when we jumped out. I think our press really turned the game around for us.”

Breckinridge County came out fast in the second half and cut the Lady Waves’ lead to two points.

“It seemed like every time they got it within two then we would get a bucket,” Hurt said. “(Senior forward) Bliss Powers only had six points but they were all big points for us during that stretch in the second half.”

In the fourth quarter Meade County shut down the game with clutch free throw shooting. Carly Evans had a team-high 13 points

and 10 rebounds. Junior forward Scarlett Powers had 11 points and 13 rebounds. Senior Mallory Wa-then scored 11 points and had three steals at the guard position.

“This is a big win for us,” Hurt said. “It takes a huge weight off of us.”

Meade County plays tomorrow at Daviess County which is ranked No. 1 in the region. The Lady Waves are cur-rently ranked No. 2 in the region and the game is slated to start at 5 p.m.

MC loses to nationally ranked team

Meade County went into Mon-day’s makeup game against the Floyd Central (Ind.) Lady High-landers with a seven-game win streak. But they couldn’t match up with the undefeated Lady High-landers and lost 74-45.

Floyd Central — who is ranked No. 2 in Indiana and No. 23 in the nation — scored 25 points in the sec-ond quarter while Meade County only managed 18 first-half points.

Meade County only shot 23 percent from the fi eld but managed to get 61 shots against the Highlanders.

“If we brought our ‘A’ game, I think we would have done better,” Hurt said. “I don’t think we were outmatched. We had some good shots we just didn’t make them. But it was good for us to see where we are at against a top team.”

Meade County did outrebound Floyd Central, 38-35, but only scored 12 points in the paint. Evans led the Lady Waves with 10 points and nine rebounds. Eighth-grader Raley Johnson had nine points and Wathen also had nine points. Scar-lett Powers had nine rebounds and six points and Alexa Adams added six points.

As a result of this achieve-ment, Tyler Crow is among a select group of players who are eligible to be selected as a national Red Zone Player of the Year and be honored in a full-page feature in a national print publication.

For the ninth straight year, Old Spice® is recognizing high school football players who go above and beyond the call of duty, particularly in the Red Zone. The pro-gram honors athletes who are able to elevate their play and step up when the heat is really on. These athletes

embody leadership, perfor-mance and desire, and serve as examples to their team-mates on and off the fi eld.

High school coaches across the country are naming one player from their team as their Player of the Year. Each team’s Player of the Year will receive a certifi cate to acknowledge his accomplishment.

He is also eligible to be named one of 50 national Players of the Year. The top 50 players nationwide will be named Red Zone Players of the Year and will receive a plaque and other awards.

The Red Zone Player of the Year program is nation-ally sponsored by Procter & Gamble, the makers of Old Spice® Red Zone Deodor-ant. The program is created and managed by 360 Youth, LLC, an Alloy company.

Tyler Crow helped the Greenwave football team to a 6-6 record this year. At the fullback position he led the team with touchdowns and rushing yards. He also played defensive end for the Greenwave.

full court press. “It’s just we didn’t attack. We didn’t keep going with it like we should have. We had more turnovers in the third quarter than we had in the first half. Sometimes we threw the ball right to them.”

John Hardin put up 12 more points in the fourth quarter, while the Greenwave couldn’t score more than nine points in any quarter of the game.

“The thing about it is you shoot 18 percent and until the last 6 min-utes we’re still in the game,” Garris said. “All we have to do is make a few shots.”

Schwartz led the Greenwave with 11 points and four rebounds. Soph-omore forward Thomas Wilson had six points and 11 rebounds and sophomore guard Bo Wilson had six points and five rebounds.

“What’s most frustrating is we make these shots in practice,” Gar-ris said. “I don’t understand it. We have two or three drills we run where we have to make a certain amount of shots and we do it. The same shots we’re getting tonight are shots we make in practice.”

Meade County will host 11th District rival Breckinridge County tonight at 8 p.m. The game will de-cide who gets the No. 1 seed in the district tournament.

During tonight’s game the teams will participate in the National Coaches vs. Cancer Awareness Weekend, better known as Suits and

Sneakers Weekend. Coaches will ap-pear wearing sneakers with suits to promote awareness of Coaches vs. Cancer. At the end of the first quar-ter, cancer survivors will distribute donation buckets throughout the crowd. Also, $5 donations can be given by simply texting “Coach” to 20222.

Patty. “That’s why we wanted to bring two rou-tines.”

The team won the hip-hop category, an open di-vision category and best overall choreography. The first place finishes pro-pelled them to the team’s first 3rd Region champion-ship in four years.

“We were hoping for it,” Patty said. “But really it was kind of unexpected. We were just so shocked. We have put so much hard work into it so it makes it that much better.”

The team faced stiff com-petition from all 11 teams that competed, according to Patty.

“Trinity (Whitesville) was amazing,” she said. “We thought that they had it. We love them to death and we thought we were going to lose to them. Apollo was really good too this year. Breckinridge came in second in every routine we were in. So they were pretty tough.”

Meade County over-came some setbacks before the meet, as two of their dancers were unable to perform. Freshman Han-na Moore and sophomore Becca Harmon stepped in and the team didn’t miss a beat.

“In one day they got an entire routine,” Patty said. “It was amazing that they were able to do that.”

A choreographer from St. Louis known only as “Shannon” helped the team out and gave them a base to go off this summer.

“We can’t give ourselves credit for that,” Patty said

of winning best choreogra-phy. “We have a lady come in and help us. But we did change some things and added a little bit of our flavor. We added some toe touches and some leg flip-ping, some different dance moves so we can do that.”

With “Shannon’s” help and the team’s dance intu-itiveness, high scores were expected after all the hard work.

“Our dances have got-ten harder and harder each time,” Bradley said. “We just try to improve ourselves each time we go out there. I think it shows in our scores.”

Meade County will now head to the state competi-tion at the Frankfort Con-vention Center in Frank-fort on Feb. 28.

The team will have more than a month to polish their regional routines.

“We’re just going to perfect our dance now,” Patty said. “We’re going to maybe take out some things that didn’t work for us before or add some new things. We’re not going into state thinking we’re going to do amazing, but we’re pretty sure we’re go-ing to give them a run for their money.”

Team captain Hannah Clark was named to the all-region dance team.

The team memebers are Jackie Patty, Tirzah Ander-son, Hannah Clark, Johnna Woodward, Kristen Lusk, Emily McCombs, Victoria Tindle, Britney Wilson, Courtney Caudill, Karlee King, Micaela Miller, Deir-dre Bryant, Jesse Wals-burger, Maddie Redmon, Becca Harmon, Tamara Patty, Kiana Hess, Hanna Moore, Rachel Harreld and Katelyn White.

Strange but True



By Samantha Weaver

•It was American journalist, author and humorist Don Marquis who made the following sage observation: "Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday."

•A giant carnivorous plant has recently been discovered on a remote mountaintop in the Philippines. The second largest pitcher plant on record, nepenthes attenboroughii secretes a nectar that lures insects, frogs and even rats into its trap, where enzymes and acids break down the animal and digest it.

•There has been a lot of debate about whether older drivers should be required to pass driving tests in order to renew their licenses, with failing sight and diminished judgment being cited as reasons for the more stringent requirement. However, statistics tend to indicate that, as a group, teenagers are the more dangerous drivers, with their auto-accident death rate roughly triple that of the elderly.

•If you're thinking about going back to school during this economic downturn, you might want to consider working toward a master's degree in business administration. The average salary increase enjoyed by new MBA holders is a whopping 64 percent.

•The men's formal attire known as the tuxedo takes its name from the Tuxedo Park Club in New York, where the clothing fi rst became popular. The word itself is derived from the Algonquian word for wolf.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your natural Arian leadership qualities make you the person others will follow in tackling that important project. But don't get so involved in the work that you neglect your personal life.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Aspects favor sorting through your possessions, both at work and at home, to start giving away what you don't use, don't need or don't like. Relax later with someone special.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The issues are not quite as clear as they should be. That's why you need to avoid getting involved in disputes between colleagues at work or between relatives or personal friends.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You'll get lots of support from others if you own up to your mistake quickly and include a full and honest explanation. Learn from this experience so that you don't repeat it.LEO (July 23 to August 22) There might be some early confusion over a major move, whether it's at work or at home. But once you get a full breakdown of what it entails, it should be easier to deal with. Good luck.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Creating order out of chaos, even in the most untidy spaces, should be no problem for organized Virgos. So go ahead and do it, and then accept praise from impressed colleagues.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Whether it's for business purposes or just for leisure, a trip might be just what you need right now. You would benefit both from a change of scenery and from meeting new people.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While things generally go well this week, a romantic situation seems to have stalled. But you can restart it if you want to. Then again, maybe this is a chance to reassess the situation.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A meeting that was promised quite a while back could finally happen. So be sure you're prepared with everything you'll need to make your case sound convincing and doable.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace blunder could create a problem down the line unless you deal with it right now to see how and why it happened. Don't be surprised at what you might learn.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This is a good time to re-sort your priorities and see if adjustments are called for. Be honest with yourself as you decide what to keep, what to discard and what to change.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Letting yourself be bathed in the outpouring of love and support from those who care for you will help you get through a difficult period sooner rather than later. Good luck.BORN THIS WEEK: You have an uncanny gift for reaching out to all people and creating bridges of understanding among them.

Submitted by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Department

FRANKFORT, Ky. – An-glers often wonder where to catch the biggest fi sh in the state. The Trophy Fish and Master Angler program sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resourc-es can shed some light on this question.

Anglers whose fi sh meet certain minimum size lim-its can submit their catch to the department’s pro-gram. A side benefi t of the program is that it can pro-vide all anglers a glimpse of the state’s hottest fi sh-ing lakes.

For example, anglers usually think of Dale Hol-low Lake as the place to go for the state’s biggest smallmouth bass. Dale Hollow, after all, is home to the world record small-mouth bass — an 11-pound, 15-ounce fi sh caught by Leitchfi eld resident Da-vid L. Hayes in 1955. The second and third largest smallmouth bass caught in the world — both exceed-ing 10 pounds — also came from Dale Hollow Lake. The last of these top three fi sh was caught more than

two decades ago, in 1986.The Trophy Fish pro-

gram reveals an up and coming lake for the state’s biggest smallmouth: Lau-rel River Lake. Last year, Ron Watson’s 25-inch long, 7-pound, 7-ounce brute from Laurel Riv-er Lake was the biggest smallmouth bass submit-ted to the program. This lake also bequeathed the second largest smallmouth bass submitted to the pro-gram last year, a 6-pound, 7-ounce fi sh caught by Bri-an Frederick.

When anglers in Ken-tucky and throughout the Midwest think of big crappie, they often imag-ine Lake Barkley and Ken-tucky Lake — not farm ponds or southeastern Kentucky. But last year, Thomas Jones fooled a 4-pound, 3-ounce monster crappie out of a farm pond in Laurel County. The fi sh, the state’s biggest crappie reported last year, weighed 11 ounces shy of the state record. Farm ponds pro-duced nine out of the 29 trophy crappie recognized by the department in 2009.

The heaviest largemouth bass submitted last year also came out of a farm

pond. Robert Marsh caught a 24 1/2-inch, 9-pound lar-gemouth bass from a farm pond in Boone County. Ten of the 24 largemouth bass submitted came from farm ponds.

In another twist, anglers fi shing Laurel River Lake submitted three times as many trophy largemouth bass to the program than an-glers fi shing Kentucky Lake.

Cave Run Lake surren-dered Montgomery Coun-ty High School student Sarah Terry’s state record 47-pound muskellunge in 2008. David Nutter of Morehead did his part to keep Cave Run’s reputa-tion intact last year by catching a 38-pound musk-ie, the largest Trophy Fish Award for muskellunge last year. However, Green River Lake and the Green River below the lake pro-duced more overall entries for trophy muskellunge in 2009 than any other waters in Kentucky.

Lake Cumberland yield-ed the state’s best walleye last year, an 11-pound, 13-ounce fi sh caught by Brandon Hargis of Lon-don. That fi sh measured 31 inches. Paintsville Lake also holds some huge

walleye in its waters, as evidenced by the second-heaviest entry in the pro-gram, a 30 1/2-inch fi sh that weighed 11 pounds.

Catches like these make anglers wake up at 3 a.m. in their quest for their own trophy. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Fishing Forecast for 2010 is now available on the Internet at fw.ky.gov The Fishing Fore-cast predicts the expected fi shing in 2010 based on population sampling the previous year for different species in Kentucky’s lakes and rivers. It is one of the best tools you can use to select a fi shing destination for your favorite species.

For more information about the Trophy Fish and Master Angler program, consult the 2010 Kentucky Fishing and Boating Guide, available soon wherever li-censes are sold.

Anglers who catch a tro-phy fish of three different species qualify for a Mas-ter Angler plaque. Make 2010 the year you catch a fish large enough to sub-mit to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Trophy Fish and Master Angler, or better yet, become a Master An-gler yourself.


FRANKFORT, Ky. – Kentucky’s 2010 spring wild turkey hunting sea-son will open statewide Saturday, April 17, and close Sunday, May 9. The youth-only season will be April 3-4.

The Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Commission, at its August meeting, rec-ommended April’s second Saturday as a permanent general season opener, but their proposal has not yet completed the legislative approval process. The new license year begins

March 1 and already hunt-ers are beginning to plan hunts. Therefore, as in the past, this year’s opener will fall on the Saturday closest to April 15.

The 2010 Kentucky Hunting Guide for Spring Turkey and Squirrel will be posted online at fw.ky.gov Thursday, Jan. 21, and printed guides will be available at license vendors within the next few weeks. Hunters should be sure to check the guide for complete hunting regulations, in-cluding bag limits, licens-ing requirements and equipment guidelines.


FRANKFORT — The USDA Natu-ral Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications for Environmental Quality Incen-tives Program (EQIP) Forestland Initiative at your local USDA Ser-vice Center or conservation district office. This is a special fund initia-tive in addition to the regular EQIP sign-up for an identified focus area. Conservation practices such as for-est stand improvement, tree plant-ing and fencing to exclude livestock from woodlands are available.

Landowners may apply for the Environmental Quality Incentives

Program at any time. However, ap-plications received by Jan. 29 will be considered for the current federal fiscal year.

Applications received after Jan. 29 will be held until the next evaluation period.

With more than 9 million acres of privately owned woodlands in the state, it is important to practice wise forest management to help preserve this signifi cant natural resource. A properly managed forest not only provides timber resources, but also can greatly enhance wildlife habitat, improve water quality, create rec-reational opportunities, sequester more carbon and increase overall aesthetics.

This initiative will focus on cre-ating, enhancing and protecting forestland bird habitat, improving forest health and promoting forest management. Emphasis is placed on forest stand improvement, tree and shrub planting, and fencing wood-land to exclude livestock. The Ken-tucky Division of Forestry will work closely with landowners to develop a forest stewardship plan on acreage enrolled in EQIP.

Additional information may be found on the Internet at http://www.ky.nrcs.usda.gov/programs. To apply for EQIP, or for more in-formation, please contact your local USDA-NRCS/Conservation District office.

Members of the DTW Blue team are Jake Bea-vin, Dewan Ditto, Stephen Knott, Alex Lee, Craig Lindsey, Devin Patty, Zack Prather, Sam Sher-atz, Timothy Spink, Cody Walter, Mack Wilson and coaches John Beavin and Greg Beavin.
