Kentuckians are paying more for food

By Jennifer CorbettThe News Standard

Editor’s Note: This is the fi rst story in a six-part series concern-ing different aspects of a student’s life in Meade County and the op-portunities available to them.

To Meade County School board offi cials, each student is like a snowfl ake. Each and every one of them is unique and deserves different types of attention.

The goal of the Meade

County school system is to recognize the needs of its stu-dents by offering programs to help each succeed.

On the playground and in the classroom, students are who need special accommo-dations in order to help them learn more and interact with their peers are not disappoint-ed with the Meade County school system. Whether it be a wheelchair ramp or banning peanuts; it is apparent that school offi cials go above and beyond to make students feel

welcome and at ease.According to Jason Sut-

ton, director of pupil per-sonnel, students can be ac-commodated through two different programs: an “IEP” or a504 Plan.

Through those accommo-dations, Meade County can provide extra time and a quiet room for tests, scribes, readers,

reinforcement for behavioral modifi cation and prompting, and queuing.

First, there is an “Individ-ual Education Plan” (IEP), which focuses on students with special needs. IEP helps create a plan that will help a student reach his or her fullestpotential.

Each IEP depends on the

individual needs of the stu-dents, said Nancy Mitcham, director of special education.

At the beginning of each school year, each student is screened. Once in the class-room, if a teacher starts no-ticing that a student is strug-gling, a team will review the concerns and develop “intervention(s)” which are based on data about the stu-dent’s success rate in a certain subject. The intervention tar-gets specifi c areas.

After the intervention, if

problems persist, teachers re-fer the students to the Admis-sions and Release Committee(ARC) made up of profession-als and parents. The ARC as-sesses the student, with theirparent or guardian, to deter-mine whether or not the stu-dent needs services.

This process can take up to60 school days.

“It may seem like a long,drawn out process,” Mit-cham said. “But we want

A female Fort Knox cadet who was training on a Leadership Development course near West Point was struck by lightning on Tuesday afternoon, ac-cording to Fort Knox Chief of Public Affairs Steve Arell.

“Cadre (a group of cadets) on the ground saw lightning strike and put in a call to halt training, and offi cers designated a ‘safe area’,” Arell said. “When they hustled to that area, the cadet was struck.”

The price Kentuckians pay for food has risen sharply during the second quarter of the year, according to a Mar-ketbasket survey conducted by the Kentucky Farm Bu-reau Federation in June.

Kentuckians are paying $108.48 for 40 basic grocery items, this is an increase of $4.86 for the same list of items reported in a survey from the fi rst quarter of the year, the federation announced in a press release earlier this month.

This was the highest Mar-ketbasket total reported since

the fi rst quarter of 2009.The survey, which included

items from the six basic food groups, concluded beef has become the highest priced food category with a 13 per-cent average price increase.

“In May, June, July and Au-gust, we’ll always see an in-crease in beef prices,” Meade County Cattleman’s Asso-ciation president Kevin Stith said. “Believe it or not, it’s a grill factor. People always eat a lot of beef during these months.”

T-bone steaks signaled the largest single-item change af-ter experiencing a $1.82 jump in price.

Sirloin tip roast suffered

a 21 percent spike in cost increasing from $3.72 per pound in March to $4.50 per pound in June.

Despite the seasonal infl ux of prices during summer months, average beef prices were lower last summer than this year. The increase in the price of beef could be the re-sult of a dichotomy of both long and short-term issues.

However, economic du-ress could be putting a strain on the beef industry and may lead to a potential long-term price hike.

Rising fertilizer, corn and soybean prices mean farmers’ inputs have in-creased as well. Adding to

the strain, soybeans are the main source of protein for cattle.

The repercussions of the economic impact create an imbalance in the supply and demand curve of the beefindustry.

“As those prices go up, more and more (beef) pro-ducers get out,” Stith said.

Last year’s survey re-vealed dismal prices paid to livestock and dairy farm-ers resulted in lower prices of meat and dairy products during July 2009.

When Payneville resident Tobby Oaks woke up Friday morning, he had lots to crow about.

One of his roosters won the crowing contest the night be-fore, and he was on his way to the fairgrounds to show a couple pairs of old English

bantams in the poultry and rabbit show.

Still beaming with pride and excited by the impend-ing poultry and rabbit show, Oaks made his way to the fair-grounds the next morning.

However, his triumph was soured when he returned to the fairgrounds livestock barn for the rabbit and poultry judging to find out one of his

pairs (one rooster and one hen) of blue-breasted Old English game bantams had been stolen the night before.

“What’s the odds, really?” Oaks said. “That’s the last thing I expected when I brought my chickens to the fair.”

What began as a morning of bad news turned bittersweet for the fi rst time chicken show-man.

Another pair of his chick-ens won grand champion ofthe poultry contest, the samemorning he found out an ad-ditional pair of his Old Englishgame bantam chickens werestolen.

The unnamed cadet is in critical condition at University of LouisvilleHospital.

A second female cadet standing near the victim

was indirectly hit by the bolt, but was uninjured.

She was taken to Ireland Army Community Hospital on Fort Knox for observa-tions as a precaution.

Arell said it was a “pop-up storm” which developed quickly and didn’t even ap-pear on radars.

The impromptu storm gave no warning, affording

Fort Knox offi cials little time to take safety precautions.

“Safety here is paramount, so if there’s anything that pertains to the weather that endangers the safety of ca-dets, training is immediate-ly stopped,” Arell said.

Previous reports stating two cadets were injured were incorrect, according to Arell.

Tom Ridge, pastor of Wolf Creek Baptist Church, said it all in his opening prayer for the Meade County Farm Bu-reau Breakfast held last Thursday morning.

“We look forward to the harvest,” Ridge prayed. “And, are thankful for the farmers that grow this.”

This was the third year for the event and more than 200 attended enjoy-ing a hearty meal of eggs, sausage, cooked apples, and biscuits and gravy.

During the morning, the attendees heard from County Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Services Jennifer Bridge.

Bridge discussed the “Clothesline of Quilts” program started in Meade County in 2006.

The clothesline con-sists of a series of barns

throughout the Appala-chian region which have a decorative “quilt block” attached to the side.

“Our goal was to boost tourism in the county and bring people off the inter-state so they can see what a beautiful county Meade County is and share the cul-tural heritage of the region and stimulate interest in quilting,” Bridge said.

It appears from the num-bers at least part of those goals have been achieved.

“We have more quilting classes in the county,” she said “We had originally set a goal of 12 (clothes-line) blocks,” Bridge said. “We now have 28 and five more in progress.”

Andy Mills, county ex-tension agent for agricul-ture and natural resources, also addressed the crowd and noted the success of the quilt clothesline.

“In the back of my mind I thought no one is going

to pay $200 to have a quilt block hung on their barn,” Mills said. “Boy, was I wrong. What an amazing thing we have so many quilts in such a short pe-riod of time. It has been a good thing.”

Mills also noted the be-ginnings of the 4-H pro-grams in September.

“The 4-H programs reach over 1,200 youth in school enrichment pro-grams,” Mills noted.

He also announced a new agriculture fi eld day to be held on Friday, Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Eddie Pike’s in Andyville.

The day will feature a lunch and several special programs on subjects includ-ing soybean, cattle feed, her-bicide, and retailing beef.

Nathan Beavin, president, Meade County Farm Bu-reau Young Farmers, con-cluded the morning saying, “We’ll see you next year on Thursday morning.”

Early birds fl ock to annual MC Farm Bureau BreakfastMore than 200 Meade Countians came out in the early morning, Thursday, to enjoy a home-cooked country breakfast. Guest speaker, Meade County Extension Agent for Fam-ily and Consumer Services Jennifer Bridge presented a slideshow on the “Clothesline of Quilts” proj-ect at the annual fair breakfast last week.

THE NEWS STANDARD/BRIAN GRAVES

With the summer heat exceeding our comfort levels water consumption has great increased.

Water is a vital part of our lives; so it’s no sur-prise that it is also a big business.

The big debate is whether tap or bottled water is bet-ter for you. The short an-swer is each has benefi ts.

However, sales of bot-tled water have tripled over the last 10 years. Some believe this is due to marketing ploys; it’s hard to tell if it really is better for you than just plain tap water.

In fact, 25 percent of bottled water is taken di-rectly from the same res-ervoirs where we get our tap water.

There are three differ-ent kinds of bottled wa-ter: natural mineral water, spring water, and purified water, each having differ-ent characteristics.

Natural mineral water

is drawn from water ta-bles underground and has healthy minerals in it.

Spring water is similar to mineral water but does not have the constant min-eral composition.

Purified water is taken from lakes, rivers, or un-derground springs and has been treated to rid it of minerals and con-taminants, which makes it almost identical to tap water.

As a result, the Food and Drug Administra-tion is considering plac-ing more restrictions on bottled water.

If you purchase bottled water there are several things you can do to help the environment. Cut down on the amount of plastic in landfills by sav-ing and refilling your bot-tles, but be sure to wash and rinse your bottles be-tween each use.

After you are finished with the bottles, recycle them. Recycling elimi-nates landfill waste and the plastic can be used to make a variety of byprod-ucts, including clothing.

When purchasing bot-tled spring water, look on the label and choose the

one whose source is locat-ed closest to you.

The farther away the source of water, the more non-renewable fuel was used to transport it.

This not only increases our dependency on oil, but also pollutes our en-vironment. Some brands of spring water bottled in or near Kentucky include Highbridge Spring Water, English Mountain Spring Water, Appalachian Springs and Sparkles Bot-tled Water.

Every person has a right to safe, good-tasting water from the tap.

If we choose to buy bot-tled water, we deserve as-surances that it too is safe. In addition, whether our water comes from a tap or a bottle, we have a right to know what’s in it.

For more information about the safety of bottled and tap water, contact the Meade County Coopera-tive Extension Service.

Educational Programs of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, re-ligion, disability or na-tional origin.

The great Democratic revo-lution of 2008 is entering its pitiful stage.

If Nancy Pelosi had a guil-lotine, Robert Gibbs’ head would be rolling around in a basket. His offense? Uttering perhaps the most unassail-ably accurate statement of his tenure as White House press secretary: that there is “no doubt” Republicans might take back the House.

Theories abound for why

Gibbs would say such a fl atly true thing. The simplest is that Gibbs was asked whether the House is in play on “Meet the Press” and in the fl ush of the moment slipped up with an honest answer. Whatever the explanation, Pelosi is enraged at his counterrevolutionary backsliding.

The more important ques-tion is: Why aren’t Demo-crats mad at President Barack Obama (and Speaker Pelosi) for endangering their major-ity, rather than at Gibbs for acknowledging the fact it’s at risk?

In their reaction to Gibbs, Democrats have vitiated what seemed most admirable

about their determination to pass health-care reform: its astounding political heed-lessness. They were doing it simply because they thought it was right. Or so it seemed. What looked to all the world like an act of political hara-kiri borne of ideological righ-teousness, the Democrats con-sidered a common-sense step for which they’d inevitably be rewarded by the voters.

And they’ll get their re-ward, good and hard. The lat-est three national polls show that the public opposes the health-care reform by 49-36, 53-40 and 47-35 (in CBS, Pub-lic Policy Polling and Pew surveys, respectively).

According to Gallup, con-servatives outnumber liberalsin America by 2-1. That da-tum alone should be enoughto make a liberal speaker ofthe House concerned aboveall about holding down themiddle. Instead, Pelosi hasled the charge for ruinouslyexpensive initiatives thathave infl amed the right andalienated independents.

According to talk show hostBill Press, the American pub-lic doesn’t deserve a leaderas effective and farsighted asObama. “It just shows onceagain that the Americanpeople are spoiled,” Presssays.

Such is the agony.

There is no doubt the Meade County Fair has a reputation of being one of the best in the state.

The fair board has done amazing things to build the fair into the attrac-tion it is today. They have raised the bar high for themselves, however, they can’t become complacent with the current status of the fair. The point of striv-ing to be the best is setting a standard and exceeding it — and now is time to fur-ther the fair’s standards.

While the fair has great events such as two nights of nationally competitive tractor and truck pulls, pageants and even an $8,000 cash drawing, diver-sity seems to be lacking.

Stepping back and look-ing at the overall fair, the events are catered to a select group. Understand-ably so, the fair is heavily tailored with 4-H events and tractor pulls reign su-preme in a rural areas such as Meade County. Never-theless it may be time to draw in people outside the agricultural spectrum.

Of the 56 sanctioned (ac-cording to the fair event catalog) events through-out the week-long fair, 14 are animals shows and 4-H events. There are sev-en events that are related to pulls (whether it’s the two nights of tractor pulls, peddle pulls or horse pulls) and nine differ-ent pageants. That leaves

only 26 events that don’t encompass animal shows, pulls and pageants. Of the eight nights that have events going on during the fair, two of the nights are pulls while two of the other nights consist of de-molition derbies.

Now this isn’t necessar-ily a bad thing, however redundancy may cause potential repeat fairgoers from attending one night or another.

The fair needs to depend on diversity to keep peo-ple flooding the fair gates every night despite poor economy stricken times.

Considering it takes $8 for each person at the gate. Multiply that times a fam-ily of four — that’s $32. Mix in around $5 a person on food or carnival rides makes a night of fair fun running around $52 for a family of four. If a family goes four of the eight nights the of fair, it may cost them around $200 during the week. Spending that chunk of change people, rightfully so, want the biggest bang for their buck.

The fair board may want to consider this when plan-ning future events and possibly adding events that can reach a broad amount of spectators and participants

Last year the fair board brought in the lawnmow-er derby and the rollover contest. Much of this has to do with the economy where finding two nights of demolition derby par-ticipants is nearly impos-sible.

The rollover and lawn-mower derby has been a great addition to the fair

and has been well received by the crowd. Yet, the events takes less than an hour to complete — this is where a bigger bang for a buck comes into play.

These events — although good additions — are far from thinking outside the box in terms of attracting various walks of life.

How about a barbeque cook off? With the suc-cess of cooking shows on television certainly there are enough people who would love to show off their cooking skills while others would love to taste fine barbeque.

Or what about a lumber-jack competition? Watch-ing events such as chain sawing, axing races and other tree-chopping ac-tivities are a blast to watch on television. Would it be more fun to watch in per-son? Plus, how many peo-ple in the area would love to show off their chain-saw skills or their brute strength with an old-fash-ioned ax?

Speaking of brute strength, how about a strong man competition? Or an arm wrestling competition?

One of the more obvi-ous events that could be brought into the arena is a rodeo. With so many horse shows and cow shows at the fair, there’s no doubt there are plenty of cow-boys and cowgirls that would like to wrangle and steer or ride a bull.

A rodeo is a great way to change up the pace throughout the week, while not getting too far away from the agricultur-al roots of the fair.

Motocross has been a

fantastic addition the pastfew years and is a greatcrowd getter during thefirst full day of the fair.With the access of the largearena how about having adirt bike jumping contest— sort of like an X-Gamestype of event where themotocrossers can show offtheir jumping skills.

Music should be moreprevalent at the countyfair. With many local andarea bands there’s no rea-son there can’t be a com-plete concert night whichshowcases bands or evenhave a battle of the bandscontest. Maybe thesebands can play in betweentractor pulls or heats of thedemolition derby to livenup the dead space duringthe event. Or even have asquare dance area wherecountry fans can have aboot scootin’ good time.

The fair did have a con-cert night this year, yetweather played a part asstorms rolled through thearea. Weather is one thingthe fair board can’t con-trol; it’s strictly a reasonwhy people don’t comeout. Last year the fair washarassed by rain and thisyear heat scorched thefair.

Regardless of outsidefactors, the fair must getbetter. By no means is thissaying the fair is not worthgoing to. But it’s encour-aging progress. The lastthing anyone wants to seeis the Meade County Fairbecome stagnate.

It’s time to see the highbar that the Meade Coun-ty fair has placed andjump over it. Adding newdiverse events is the firststep to doing that.

More than just booksIt’s hard to find a good bargain these days.But, in Meade County, we have one of the best bar-

gains available.The Meade County Public Library (MCPL) has

proven itself in the last few years to be of invaluable service to the community and can easily stand as an example to the rest of the state on how such a facility should operate.

It is here where, during the last year, more than 75,000 books were checked out.

Judging the basic reason for a library, MCPL fits the bill with those numbers alone.

But, no longer is the library thought of as a stodgy place with a large “Quiet” sign on the wall and peo-ple sitting rigid at reading tables. Not here.

Our local library is a place filled with constant ac-tivity.

It is here where more than 11,000 children have been able to enjoy activities of all kinds. And, as important, while doing this they discover the joy of reading.

Reading is the most fundamental need for anyone as they grow into adulthood and the MCPL is doing more than its fair share to ensure the local children are instilled with that ability.

Not only do they bring the children into the library, they take the library on the road — literally.

With their bookmobile, MCPL is able to assist with reading programs at the various county schools.

And, that bookmobile is also able to serve adults who might not otherwise be able to visit the library in person.

But, it’s not just books.MCPL also provides programs for teens in the

area, thereby giving an age group that can be prone to trouble at times a place to have fun, be creative, and use their youthful energies in a constructive and educational way.

The library has also become a community center of sorts where people meet to discuss the issues of the day, meet new friends, or bring the family for time together with other families.

For the movie lover, feature films, documentaries, musicals and classic television shows are available to check out and enjoy.

And, if there’s a book or movie you can’t find — just ask. They can get it for you.

How about needing to hit the Internet for a few moments?

You can do that there as well. Whether you take ad-vantage of one of the computers at the library or bring your own laptop, Internet service is also available.

The library also hosts programs for a wide variety of interests. Whether you want to learn yoga or how to make a handmade card for someone special, the MCPL is the place.

And what do all these services cost for those who want to use them? Nothing. Zero.

That’s not a good bargain. That’s a great bargain.And much to the friendly and enthusiastic library

staff’s credit, they are able to offer all this at no cost while receiving funding less than the average amount currently realized by all state public libraries.

And, it’s only going to get better.Anticipation grows for the library’s new facility to

be constructed on Old Ekron Road and scheduled to be completed next year.

The new building will give the library almost three times more room than its current home pro-vides and the plans are to fill that space with just as much information and activity as it will hold.

So, there is no reason to be bored. Go get a book, a movie, take a class, play a game, meet a friend, or surf the Web. It’s all there. For free.

It’s fortunate we have this remarkable place with remarkable people available for our area.

The Meade County Public Library is definitely a place for which the community should be incredibly proud.

Flash Flood Safety Tips

Flash floods and floods are the #1 storm related killer in Kentucky and across the United States.

• If Driving, DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED AREAS!Even if it looks shallow enough to cross. The majority of deaths due to

flooding are from people driving through flooded areas.Water only one foot deep and displace 1500 pounds!

Two feet of water can easily carry most vehicles.Roadways concealed by floodwaters may not be intact.

• If caught outside, go to higher ground immediately!Avoid small rivers or streams, low spots, culverts, or ravines.

• Don’t try to walk through flowing water more than ankle deep.It only takes six inches of water to knock you off your feet.

• Do not allow children to play around streams, drainage ditches, or viaducts, storm drains, or other flooded areas.

Men’s, women’s bodies unique; have myriad differences

QUESTION: You’ve dis-cussed briefl y some of the physiological and emo-tional differences between the sexes. Could you list other physical character-istics unique to males and females?

DR. DOBSON: Men and women differ in countless ways, many of which they aren’t even conscious of. Here are just a few of those differences:

1. A woman has great-er constitutional vital-ity, perhaps because of her unique chromosomalpattern.

Normally, she outlives a man by about fi ve years

in the U.S. females simply have a stronger hold on life than males, even in the uterus.

More than 140 male ba-bies are conceived for ev-ery 100 females; by the time birth occurs, the ratio is 105 to 100, with the rest of the males dying in spontaneous abortions.

2. Men have a higher inci-dence of death from almost every disease except three disorders related to female reproduction and breast cancer.

3. Men have a higher rate of basal metabolism than women.

4. The sexes differ in skel-etal structure, women hav-ing a shorter head, broader face, less protruding chin, shorter legs and longer trunk. The fi rst fi nger of a woman’s hand is usually longer than the third; with

men the reverse is true. Men’s teeth last longer than do those of women.

5. Women have a larger stomach, kidneys, liver and appendix, and smaller lungs than men.

6. Women have three very important physiological functions that are absent in men — menstruation, preg-nancy and lactation. Each of these mechanisms infl uence behavior and feelings sig-nifi cantly. Female hormonal patterns are more complex and varied.

The glands work differ-ently in the two sexes. For example, a woman’s thyroid is larger and more active; it enlarges during menstrua-tion and pregnancy, which makes her more prone to goiter, provides resistance to cold, is associated with the smooth skin, relatively hairless body, and the thin

layer of subcutaneous fat which are important ele-ments in the concept of per-sonal beauty. Women are also more responsive emo-tionally, laughing and cry-ing more readily.

7. Women’s blood con-tains more water (20 percent fewer red cells). Since red cells supply oxygen to the body, she tires more easily and is more prone to faint.

Her constitutional vi-ability is therefore strictly a long-range matter. When the working day in British factories, under wartime conditions, was increased from 10 to 12 hours, acci-dents among women in-creased 150 percent; the rate of accidents among men did not increase signifi cantly.

8. Men are 50 percent stronger than women in brute strength.

9. Women’s hearts beat

more rapidly than those of men (80 beats per min-ute versus 72 beats perminute).

Their blood pressure (ten points lower than men) var-ies more from minute to minute, but they have much less tendency to high blood pressure — at least until af-ter menopause.

10. Female lung capacity is about 30 percent less than in males.

11. Women can withstand high temperatures better than men due to differences in their metabolism.

12. Men and women differ in every cell of their bodies because they carry a differ-ing chromosomal pattern.

The implications of those genetic components range from obvious to extremely subtle. For example, when researchers visited high school and college cam-

puses to study behavior ofthe sexes, they observedthat males and females eventransported their books indifferent ways.

The young men tendedto carry them at their sideswith their arms looped overthe top.

Women and girls, by con-trast, usually cradled theirbooks at their breasts, inmuch the same way theywould a baby.

Who can estimate howmany other sex-related in-fl uences lie below the levelof consciousness?

In your daily relationship with God, never fail to forgive others

Matthew 6:12 says, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” ( KJV )

When I was a teenager, I disobediently took my fa-ther’s car out for a joy ride when he wasn’t at home.

Unfortunately, I ended up running the car off a country road into a ditch. I went to him and said, “Dad, I’ve got to tell you I feel ter-rible about what I did. I was wrong, deceitful, dishon-est. I knew better than to do that. I’m sorry, and I want to

ask you to forgive me.” he said, “ You are forgiven but you will pay for the car.”

Now when I damaged my father’s car did I cease to be my father’s son? No.

But my relational forgive-ness was in deep trouble. If you want to know the one-ness with the Lord in your daily relationship with Him, if you want to feel the reali-ty of your forgiveness when you pray to God, don’t hold grudges against others and fail to forgive them.

You can’t come to God and expect to enjoy His forgive-ness of your sins while you have not confessed your own sin of unforgiveness and for-given your brother.

If you want to know the daily sense of your forgive-

ness in your walk with the Lord, then you must forgive those who have wronged you.

What happened after the resurrection of Jesus Christ? That Jesus was dead and then raised, there is no doubt in Paul’s letters, the Gospels, and Acts.

We have to blend these ac-counts to begin to get a pic-ture of the amazing events that follow

There are plenty of skep-tics who doubt the resur-rection happened at all. Let’s look at what the Bible teaches.

Jesus died on Good Fri-day and was raised the next Sunday. The fi rst witnesses to the resurrection were three women at the empty tomb. After this, rumors be-gan fl ying as disciples and other followers see and talk to Jesus, who was thought dead. Some even touched him and had a meal with him. For forty days these appearances occurred, rath-er randomly, to somewhere

between 100 and 500 people, and it brought the believers back together, as they gath-ered on a mountain outside of Jerusalem and saw Jesus ascend into the heavens af-ter giving them the greatest command, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And re-member, I am with you al-ways, to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).

I am struck by the brev-ity and lack of detail used in the Bible to explain the resurrection and ascension. My guess is that these fi rst followers of Jesus were experiencing things that could barely be explained in words.

But their message was very clear. Jesus was mur-dered on a cross. He was dead and buried in a tomb. But his resurrection marks

his victory over sin, death, and evil. We share in that victory when we believe in him and follow his teach-ings.

This anecdote communi-cates what I think about the skepticism and cynicism of our age toward the power of God to save us from our sins through his son.

A divinity school invited a great theologian to lecture on the resurrection.

He spoke for two and one-half hours “proving” that the resurrection of Jesus was false quoting scholar after scholar and book after book. He concluded that since there was no such thing as the historical resurrection, the religious tradition of the church was groundless, emotional mumbo-jumbo, because it was based on a relationship with a risen Jesus, who, in fact, never rose from the dead in any literal sense. He then asked if there were any questions. After about 30 seconds, an

old preacher stood up. “I have one question,” he said as he started eating an apple out of his sack lunch. Now I haven’t read any of those books, and I can’t recite the scriptures in their original Greek, and I am not very familiar with Niebuhr and Heidegger.” He fi nished eating his apple. “All I want to know is this apple I just ate, was it bitter or sweet?”

The professor paused for a moment and answered in exemplary scholarly fashion, “I cannot possibly answer that question, for I haven’t tasted your apple”

The preacher dropped the core of his apple into his crumpled paper bag, looked up at the professor and said calmly, “Neither have you tasted my Jesus.”

I can write on and on about what the Bible teach-es about Jesus’ death, resur-rection, and ascension, but unless you have encoun-tered the risen Lord then you just won’t understand

His power. Have you expe-rienced the powerful pres-ence of the risen Lord in your life? The supernatural stories of Jesus’ resurrection become real again when we experience that presence in our hearts and souls. What barrier still keeps you from taking a leap of faith, giv-ing your life completely to Christ, and letting your life be changed forever? Do you see the power of God’s love growing in your life? Have you heard Christ’s call to “Go therefore and make dis-ciples of all nations, baptiz-ing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age”?

Have you experienced the powerful presence of the risen Lord in your life? Go therefore, and be a witness to what Christ has done in your life.

to make sure that we do everything we can before identifying a student with a disability. Once we do make that determination, we want to do what’s best for the student.”

If a child is found eli-gible, then the ARC de-velops an Individual Edu-cation Plan (IEP) which focuses on the needs of the student. Based on the stu-dents needs, the ARC then decides on the accommo-dations that the student requires.

Different services can be offered for several types of disabled students, Sut-ton said.

A child’s IEP plan is reviewed each year and every three years is evalu-ated to make sure the stu-dents still need the same services, Mitcham said.

However, if a student doesn’t qualify for the IEP program, some students may be eligible for a 504 plan. According to Mit-cham, a 504 Plan is broad-er and requires a medical diagnosis.

Sec. 504 of the 1973 Re-habilitation Act is a law that protects qualified in-dividuals from discrimi-nation based on theirdisability.

The 504 plans are for stu-dents who have medical conditions that substan-tially limits the student’s performance in school.

It’s an unfunded man-date, which means there is no funding given to school districts to provide these services.

Students who have 504 plans are provided accom-modations as needed in the regular classroom. Some students may need accom-modations on a temporary basis.

For example, if a stu-dent breaks their arm and

needs someone to help take notes for them they could get help through the 504 Plan, Sutton added.

One type of major ac-commodation occured when Meade County de-cided to ban any peanut related item in Branden-burg Primary after finding out a student was deathly allergic to them.

“We had some blowback from some families that were upset,” Sutton said. “You have a large group of people who love, my-self included, peanut but-ter and jelly.

So, it took us a while to get the word out that this is a life or deathsituation.”

The major factor in this decision was communica-tion and letting all parents know that the particular student could get deathly ill if exposed to a peanut or peanut-related item.

“People need to under-stand we don’t do these things because we want to,” Sutton said.

The school board knew that some families wouldn’t like the outcome since many kids regularly eat peanut butter.

“I was picky when I was a kid, too,” Sutton said. “When we told people they couldn’t eat peanut butter it was hard for a while. But, that class of students and the one above and be-low, pretty much got used to it.”

Some parents wondered if this decision was too harsh and should have re-quired the student to eat in a separate room away from the rest of the stu-dent body.

For school officials, the decision was based on what was best for the child.

“Some would say ‘You can’t eat over here, eat over there,” Sutton said. “We don’t do that. We want to be inclusive.”

Even though Mitcham

was not involved in the decision, she thinks the outcome was positive.

“They were wanting to make a safe environment for all students,” she said.

Overall, Sutton was very pleased with how the caf-eteria managers, principals and staff handled the pea-nut situation.

“It was a lot of work ... but then again, that’s our job,” he said.

Meade County schools try to accommodate other food allergies, but parents need to notify the school.

“If there is something we need to address for students, we will do it,” Sutton said. “We will make whatever ac-commodations necessary.”

Food allergies don’t fall under an IEP or a 504 Plan, instead the student’s safety alone is taken into consider-ation, Sutton said.

Other types of help are offered through the Youth Services Programs at each

of the district schools.Their main goal is to ac-

commodate those students who are more introverted and aren’t as involved. They try to bring out the students’ personality to make them feel more comfortable by of-fering one-on-one attention and through specializedprograms.

At the end of the day, the main goal of Meade County school offi cials is to bring out the fullest potential in every student, special needs or not.

“Our goal is to get them back in the regular class-room with their peers,” Mitcham said.

“We try to do everything we can to help them feel normal and make them feel part of the regular fl ow,” Sutton said.

Part two of the six part school series will be in next week’s issue of The News Standard.

By Brian GravesThe News Standard

Take a dash of Court TV and mix lightly with Comedy Central and you would get a taste of the 2nd annual mock trial at the Meade County Fair last week.

Sponsored by County Attorney Margaret Mat-ney, the trial allows the general public to have a feel for the process legal professionals must go through and give their sense of current laws.

On this particular case, local attorney Mark Scott allowed himself to be the “defendant” accused of a DUI charge.

Scott played the role to the hilt — dressing in jail clothes and wearing stock-ings with decals around his arms to replicate pris-oner tattoos.

Rick Hardin, another area attorney, was the “prosecutor,” trying to place Scott under the pro-

verbial jailhouse floor.And, with a sense of

irony, Assistant County Attorney Great Noe, who usually prosecutes cases, tried to save Scott from jail.

Matney assumed the role of judge and impan-eled a “jury” of standby visitors, one of which was Scott’s wife.

Meade County Sheriff’s Deputy Levi Mattingly was drafted to be the ar-resting officer and pro-vide testimony against the “plaintiff” Scott.

Four attorneys on stage provided the plat-form for a lot of legal hu-mor between the careerbarristers.

After an hour of ques-tioning and testimony, the “jury” unanimously found Scott guilty.

But, Matney took the opportunity to question the jury about the DUI laws and some of the tech-nicalities about them.

While there was a lot

of fun during the “trial,” Matney said that should in no way lead the public to believe these legal profes-sionals take their job any less than seriously.

“We have to do this on a

serious level every week,” Matney said. “This gives us the opportunity to show people the issues we deal with, but do so in a light-hearted fashion.”

“We deal with some

incredibly serious mat-ters on a daily basis,” she added. “The fun we have here is really poked more at ourselves and our ca-maraderie than anything else. The subject matter is

serious and what we hope to do with these trials is to give the public a glimpse into the legal system as well as take some public comment and ideas away from those who attend.”

Severe Thunderstorm Safety Tips*** Before Lightning Strikes ***

Keep an eye on the sky. Look for darkening skies, fl ashes of light, or increasing wind. Listen for the sound of thunder. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to

the storm to be struck by lightning. Go to safe shelter immediately. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for the latest weather forecasts.

*** When a Storm Approaches ***Find shelter in a building or car. Keep car windows closed and avoid convertibles. Telephone lines and metal pipes can conduct electricity. Unplug appliances. Avoid

using the telephone or any electrical appliances. (Leaving electric lights on, however, does not increase the chances of your home being struck by lightning.) Avoid taking a bath or shower, or running water for any other purpose. Turn off the air conditioner. Power surges from lightning can overload the compressor, resulting in a costly repair job! Draw blinds and shades over windows. If windows break due to objects blown by

the wind, the shades will prevent glass from shattering into your home.

*** If Caught Outside ***If you are in the woods, take shelter under the shorter trees. If you are boating or

swimming, get to land and fi nd shelter immediately!

*** Protecting Yourself Outside ***Go to a low-lying, open place away from trees, poles, or metal objects. Make sure

the place you pick is not subject to fl ooding. Be a very small target! Squat low to the ground. Place your hands on your knees with your head between them.

Make yourself the smallest target possible. Do not lie fl at on the ground!! This will make you a larger target!

*** After the Storm Passes ***Stay away from storm-damaged areas.

Listen to the radio for information and instructions.

*** If Someone is Struck by Lightning ***People struck by lightning carry no electrical charge and can be handled safely.

Call for help. Get someone to dial 9-1-1 or your local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) number. The injured person has received an electrical shock and may be burned, both where they were struck and where the electricity left their body. Check for burns

in both places. Being struck by lightning can also cause nervous system damage, broken bones, and loss of hearing or eyesight. Give fi rst aid. If breathing has stopped,

begin rescue breathing. If the heart has stopped beating, a trained person should give CPR. If the person has a pulse and is breathing, look and care for other possible

injuries. Learn fi rst aid and CPR by taking a Red Cross fi rst aid and CPR course.Call your local Red Cross chapter for class schedules and fees.

Investment scams that target senior citizens are now subject to more strict penalties as Senate Bill 130 takes effect today.

Sen. Tom Buford spon-sored the Kentucky De-partment of Financial In-stitution’s (DFI) legislation that passed during the 2010 General Assembly.

The bill was primarily a housekeeping measure to better organize and clarify the existing statute govern-ing securities.

However, one section enhances public protection for seniors. The bill sets fi ne limits of $20,000 per violation of the securities

law, but authorizes the fi ne to be doubled when viola-tions target or hurt those who are 60 or older.

“Seniors are the No. 1 target for investment fraud, and this abuse can-not be tolerated,” said DFI Securities Division Direc-tor Shonita Bossier. “By making the fi nes more sub-stantial for securities fraud against seniors, we hope to deter these violations from taking place. When viola-tions are found, the fi nes will be used to help the department prevent future abuses against seniors and the investing public.”

To further that purpose, the bill establishes a securi-ties fraud prosecution and prevention fund where

fi nes can be deposited. The funds can be used to

assist in criminal prosecu-tion of fraud, for training and equipment related to prevention, detection and investigation of securities fraud, and for investor education.

In addition to issuing licenses and registrations to securities individuals and fi rms and conducting examinations, DFI’s Se-curities Division also in-vestigates complaints and provides educational out-reach.

Investors are encouraged to call DFI at 800-223-2579 to make sure the invest-ment and person selling it are licensed or registered in Kentucky.

Investors can also call to ask about the complaint history of a broker or in-vestment adviser, to fi le a complaint or to report sus-pected fraud. For more in-formation on how to save, invest and avoid fraud, visit www.kfi .ky.gov/pub-lic/invest.htm.

DFI is an agency in the Public Protection Cabinet. It supervises the fi nancial services industry by exam-ining, chartering, licensing and registering various fi -nancial institutions, secu-rities fi rms and profession-als operating in Kentucky.

DFI’s mission is to

serve Kentucky residentsand protect their financialinterests by maintaining astable financial industry,continuing effective andefficient regulatory over-sight, promoting con-sumer confidence, andencouraging economicopportunities.

Kentucky’s sea-sonally adjustedpreliminary unemploy-ment rate fell to 10 per-cent in June 2010, thelowest rate in 16 months, according to the Of-fi ce of Employment andTraining (OET), an agen-cy of the Kentucky Edu-cation and WorkforceDevelopment Cabinet.

The revised rate in May 2010 was 10.4 percent.The June 2010 jobless rate is .8 percentage points lower than the 10.8percent rate recorded inJune 2009 for the state.

The 10 percent raterecorded in June 2010 is the lowest unemploy-ment rate recorded sinceFebruary 2009 when the rate was 9.6 percent.

“The decrease in Ken-tucky’s unemployment rate in June 2010 is driven bya decline in the civil-ian labor force. Indi-viduals who have facedlong-term unemployment are becoming discouraged and dropping out of thelabor force,” OET chief la-bor market analyst Dr. Jus-tine Detzel said

The U.S. seasonally adjusted jobless rate de-creased from 9.7 percent inMay 2010 to 9.5 percent

in June 2010, according to the U.S. Departmentof Labor.

Unemployment sta-tistics are based on esti-mates and are compiled tomeasure trends rather than actually to count people working.

Seven of the 11 major nonfarm North American Industry Classifi cationSystem (NAICS) job sec-tors reported an employ-ment increase in June 2010,while four decreased, ac-cording to OET.

An increase of 6,200 jobs inJune 2010 brought Ken-tucky’s nonfarm employ-ment to a seasonally adjustedtotal of 1,788,700.

This represents the fourth consecutive month of jobgains and the highest level of nonfarm employ-ment since January 2009,when total nonfarm em-ployment was recorded at 1,796,400.

“Since June 2009, Ken-tucky’s nonfarm employ-ment has expanded by 26,500professionals. This marks the second month in a row of year-over-yearincreases in nonfarm em-ployment.

Prior to this, Ken-tucky suffered 26consecutive months of year-over-year employment loss-es,” Detzel said.

According to the season-

ally adjusted employment data, the manufacturingsector jobs surged by 2,700 in June 2010. Since June 2009, employment inthe manufacturing sector has grown by 4,800 posi-tions.

“This represents the sec-ond month in a row of ayear-over-year ad-vance in manufactur-ing jobs,” Detzel said. “The lion’s share of the growth since last June occurred inthe durable goods sub-sector, which is in-dicative of automobilemanufacturers increasing production and automo-bile parts plants calling

back workers, as well as expansions at vari-ous durable goodsmanufacturers. In addi-tion, the nondurable goods subsector added 1,100professionals in the last year,” she said.

Kentucky’s leisure and hospitality sector climbed by 2,100 jobs in June2010. Since June 2009, employment in the sec-tor has increased by 1,400positions.

The leisure and hospi-tality sector includes arts,entertainment and recre-ation, accommodations and food services anddrinking places industries.

R-1 zoning allows only single-family residents on a large lot. Should the property be zoned R-2, it would allow either single or two family homes on smaller lots.

Rena Singleton, the de-veloper of the seven-acre property, had requested the change in order to use smaller size lots.

“It’s because of the way the land lays in different areas, some of it is going to be pie-shaped,” Singleton told the commission. “If we could have the smaller

lots, it would be easier.”She rebutted the concerns

of other residents that she would build anything but single-family residences.

“I, no way, have consid-ered duplexes,” she said. “These will all be single-family houses for sale.”

Singleton said she would have no objection to having restrictions placed upon the property; however, Planning and Zoning Ad-ministrator Lee Klockow said that until the property was submitted as a proper subdivision, the commis-sion had no power to im-pose those types of rules on the property.

Resident Mark Gossett expressed concerns that

once the property was re-zoned to R-2, Singleton could give no assurances what would happen to the property in the future, es-pecially in the case of her selling the land to some-one else.

“That’s true,” Singleton re-plied. “I can’t vouch for what someone else (would do).”

Gossett said if the houses are going to be single-fam-ily, there was no reason to change the zoning.

“(If leaving it R-1) cuts out three or four lots, that’s probably better,” he added.

Commissioners com-ments suggested that al-though the rezoning met the requirements of the

comprehensive plan, the rejection came as a result of half of the adjacent resi-dents expressing disap-proval and a lack of pro-jected positive economic or physical development resulting because of the development.

Despite the commis-sion’s vote, the matter re-mains unresolved.

Action taken Tuesday night only serves as a rec-ommendation to Branden-burg City Council who can vote to accept the recom-mendation or overturn it.

Should council accept the recommendation for denial, the property owner could still take the matter to the Board of Appeals.

teenaged girls are on the radar.

The girls were seen by Oaks and poultry and rabbit superintendents Randall Hardesty and Liz Bell.

Hardesty and Bell are somewhat convinced that the suspected girls seen around the cage played a role in the chickens’ dis-appearance.

“I did see them taking pictures of them with their cell phones,” Hardesty said.

However, the girls’ ac-tions weren’t closely scru-tinized because they don’t usually have to worry about people admiring the chickens, but more so the rabbits.

“We’ve had a problem

with teen girls wanting to pet the rabbits and hold the rabbits, but nothing like this. This is a weird one,” Bell said.

Oaks has reluctantly given up hope for his chickens’ return unless conscientious peopleintervene.

“In my opinion, there’s nothing you’re going to do. You’re not going to be able to find them. Some-body’s going to have to turn them in,” he said.

The pair, which was the first pair of Old English bantams Oaks has owned, were given to him by a man who he had grown close to this spring — the man who introduced him to the world of showing chickens.

“He showed me the ins and outs of the showing business,” he said. “It’s not as easy as just sticking a chicken in a cage.”

That same man died in a house fire nearly a month ago.

“The value of those chickens is where they came from. It’s sentimen-tal, not monetary,” Oaks said. “ I can’t call up John and say ‘Somebody stole that pair, do you have an-other pair you can give me?’”

Though unpleasant, it is not uncommon for ani-mals to be stolen at shows, according to Hardesty.

“If they catch you with your back turned, they’ll do it if they’re going to do it. If they’re going to get them, they’re going to get them,” Hardesty said, who had a turkey stolen at the state fair several years ago.

He admitted that there is very little that can be done to stop thefts.

“If there was a solution to stop this, there would

be a way to stop all thefts,” Hardesty said.

However, he acknowl-edged that an option would be to put up sur-veillance cameras in the barn.

“That’s about the only idea I can come up with that would work,” Hard-esty said. “I may bring it up to David (Pace) and (the board) and see what they think about it.”

Though dismayed by the situation, Oaks har-bors no ill feelings toward the fair board, and feels the actions of the bantam bandits affects more than just him.

“I can’t blame the fair board. I can’t be mad at Randall and Liz,” Oaks said. “Both of them are as upset as I am. It makes the whole Meade County Fair chicken show look bad. It puts a damper on the whole thing.”

cheaper during summer months, reported increas-es this year as well.

Idaho potatoes, which cost $3.58 per ten pounds in March, rose to $4.18 in June — an increase of 16.8 percent.

In stark contrast, the price of tomatoes fell 33.6 percent from $2.03 per pound in March to $1.52 in June.

Overall, the fruits and vegetables category saw the sharpest decline, av-eraging a price drop of 2.6 percent.

According to Meade County extension agent Jennifer Bridge, locally grown summer produce

could be a factor in high-er grocery store produce costs.

“We have such an abun-dance of fresh produce available with people having gardens this time of year and the farmer’s markets,” Bridge said.

Food packaging could also be a culprit in rising food costs, she added.

“We’ve long looked at packaging and how much packaging costs,” Bridge said.

The Kentucky Farm Bu-reau has conducted the survey for nearly 40 years to reflect retail food pric-ing trends and their rela-tionship to what farmers receive for raw commodi-ties. The average farmer’s share of the retail food dollar is close to 19 cents, according to the release.

Submitted by the U.S. Grains Council

U.S. agriculture exports are projected to be second-largest on record and surpass $100 billion dollars this year, second only to 2008 when ag-riculture exports surpassed $110 billion, Joseph Glauber, chief economist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, told attendees of the U.S. Grains Council’s 50th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting. “It’s a very big market,” he said.

The exchange rate is positive for U.S. exports, Glauber said, as the dollar versus export competitors’ currencies is favorable — and certainly better than the 2000-2003 period. He also referenced IMF data that showed the United States and Euro zone economies contracted in 2009 but recovering and turning positive this year and in 2011.

Glauber said there re-mains some question over how quickly the economic recovery will move for-ward — or whether it will falter.

While sluggish growth continues in developed countries, developing countries like China and India are growing at a high clip. “We hope that con-tinues … we need those

economies to be strong,” he said.

While reviewing the sta-tus of the corn crop and how much of that crop goes to ethanol produc-tion, Glauber said it is im-portant to realize that “we had a big transition” with the phase out of MTBE and a rapid increase of ethanol production from 2006 to 2008.

“The growth rate has tailed off a lot,” he said, and increases won’t be as large in the future as those seen during that period.

As the corn ethanol in-dustry gets closer to a production capacity of 15 billion gallons — the threshold spelled out in the Renewable Fuels Stan-dard — the growth of corn going to ethanol will slow down even further, he said, although there may be potential for corn etha-nol to move beyond that 15 billion gallon limit.

That depends on other factors, however, includ-ing corn ethanol being designated as an advanced biofuel and the ability of ethanol to get past a blend wall, which it is reaching already.

A new slate of offi cers and Board of Directors were elected at the U.S. Grains Council’s 50th Annual Board of Delegates Meeting.

Terry Vinduska, a corn farmer representing the Kansas Corn Commission, was elected chairman for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.

A native of Kansas, Vin-duska graduated with honors from Kansas State University in 1972 with a bachelor’s degree in agri-culture.

He’s had a varied ca-reer in agriculture since that time. He worked for Hesston Corporation in field test engineering be-fore returning to the fam-ily farm.

He currently grows corn, sorghum, soybeans and wheat and is vice-president of S and V Fam-ily Farms LLC. Vinduska also serves as a sales rep-resentative for Pioneer Hi-Bred International Inc.

Vinduska served on the USGC Rest of the World Advisory Team (A-Team) and was the Board liaison to the Biotech and Asia A-Teams. He also served as part of the Structure Task Force, the Funding Task Force and numerous oth-er committees within the Council.

He takes over the role of chairman as Rick Fruth, a farmer from Ohio rep-resenting the Ohio Corn Marketing Program, tran-sitions into the past chair-man position.

Thomas C. Dorr, USGC president and CEO, said, “As the U.S. Grains Coun-cil begins its 51st year, we are fortunate to have strong, active leadership in place. Our new chair-man, Mr. Vinduska, the Board of Directors, Board of Delegates, A-Team leaders and state liaisons provide excellent insight into the challenges and opportunities in the inter-national market arena.

The Council’s success over its first five decades is attributable to a long tradition of farmer and agribusiness leadership that’s determined to see the Council succeed.”

Other officers elected include Wendell Shau-man, representing Illinois Corn Marketing Board, as vice chairman; Don Fast, representing Montana Wheat & Barley Com-mittee, as treasurer; and Julius Schaaf, represent-ing Iowa Corn Promo-tion Board, as secretary. Alan Tiemann, of the Ne-braska Corn Board, was re-elected to the Council’s Board of Directors.

Newly elected Board members include James Tobin of Monsanto; Bill Kubecka of United Sor-ghum Checkoff Program; and Jere White of Kansas Corn Commission.

Bob Dingus isn’t the kind of guy who likes to sit in an office all day. In fact, he prefers to work out of his car.

Dingus is the owner of Bigwrench Mobile Truck Repair, whose mission is to save time and money by bringing his repair shop to his customers.

“We kind of bring the shop to different shops, trucking companies or individuals who own trucks,” Dingus said. “It’s kind of a convenience for them.”

Bigwrench specializes in helping semi-trucks, dump trucks, tractors, trailers and any type of heavy equipment. The back of his truck holds all the important tools to make sure each truck or trailer gets back to work-ing. Many of those tools he has acquired through the years on the job.

“I have whatever I need to do my job,” he said.

Bigwrench was launched a few months ago, but Dingus feels that it is al-ready headed down the right path.

“Work is a little slow, but I’ve had enough to keep me busy,” he said. “I’ve got a good feeling about it.”

Right now, Bigwrench is a two-person team with Dingus’s wife helping out with paperwork and bill-ing.

Typically, Dingus takes care of appointments and projects using his car as a miniature office.

“Most of the stuff you can schedule,” he said. “Everything comes to me. I deal with things that way … it’s pretty manageable work.”

Dingus said he chose larger vehicles instead of working on smaller cars.

“I figured if you stick to one thing you can do better at it,” he said. “I re-ally don’t want to get into cars.”

He began working as a diesel mechanic almost 29 years ago. The idea for a mobile unit sparked when wanted a change of scen-

ery.“It’s sort of a niche I

thought might fit,” Din-gus said. “It keeps things interesting.”

One aspect of the job that Dingus enjoys is how one day is completely dif-ferent from the next.

“Last week, I was work-ing out in Louisville for a couple of days, then I was dead for a couple of days,” he added. “You never know. Everyday is different.”

Once he starts working on a truck or trailer, Din-gus has the same routine to make sure everything gets accounted for.

“You’re thinking about what you’re doing,” he said. “You’re always watching out for any-thing else you see wrong to keep a truck from hav-ing a breakdown or prob-lems. You’re saving them money.”

The job can also be a bit messy, but Dingus doesn’t mind.

“It’s part of the job,” he said.

He can’t see himself do-ing anything else.

“It’s what I’ve always liked to do,” Dingus said. “For the last 29 years, I’ve worked around trucks one way or another.”

As for the future, Din-gus doesn’t see himself moving into a typical of-fice anytime soon.

“I really don’t want ashop,” he said. “I want tokeep it mobile where I cango different places andhelp different people.”

BBB is warning online shoppers about a fraudu-lent e-mail that appears to be from Amazon.com. Scam artists are sending out the e-mails that state, “Thanks for your order.” The e-mail has an order number on it, a total price, and a link to click on to check out your order.

A BBB employee re-cently received one of the e-mails. The employee has never shopped on Amazon, so she became suspicious and called the company. A customer re-lations manager told her that he had received five calls on it at that time, and that Amazon is inves-tigating the fraudulent e-mail. The manager did not know what would happen if you clicked on the link. The link could be a virus or it could be a phishing attempt (to steal your per-sonal information).

Amazon is asking anyone who receives a fraudulent e-mail like this to forward the e-mail to stop-spoof-ing@amazon.com. Below are some key points from Amazon.com to help iden-tify e-mails that appear to be from Amazon, but are not:

1. Know what Amazon.com won’t ask for: Ama-

zon.com will never ask you for the following in-formation in an e-mail:

• Your social security number or tax identifica-tion number.

• Your credit card num-ber, PIN number, or credit card security code.

• Your mother’s maiden name.

• Your Amazon.com password.

2. Requests to verify or confirm your account in-formation: Amazon.com will not ask you to verify or confirm your Amazon.com account information by clicking on a link from an e-mail.

3. Attachments on sus-picious e-mails: Amazon.com does not send order confirmations or other unsolicited requests that require you to open at-tachments.

4. Grammatical or typo-graphical errors: Be on the lookout for poor grammar or typographical errors.

5. Check the Web site ad-dress: Genuine Amazon.com web sites are always hosted on the “amazon.com” domain — ”http://www.amazon.com/. . . “ (or “https://www.ama-zon.com/. . .”). Some-times the link included in spoofed e-mails looks like a genuine Amazon.com address.

You can check where it actually points to by hover-ing your mouse over the link — the actual Web site where it points to will be shown in the status bar at the bottom of your browser window or as a pop-up. Amazon never uses a web address such as “http://security-amazon.com/. . .” or an IP address (string of numbers) fol-lowed by directories such as “http://123.456.789.123/amazon.com/. . . .”

6. Protect your ac-count information: If you did click through from a spoofed or suspicious e-mail and you entered your Amazon.com ac-count information you should immediately up-date your Amazon.com password.

You can do this through “Your Account” by choos-ing the option to “Change your name, e-mail ad-dress, or password” found under “Account Settings.”

Contact Amazon imme-diately if you notice any orders that you do not recognize..

BBB always recom-mends, if an e-mail looks suspicious, go directly to the Web site, or call the company directly.

When in doubt, do not click on a link in an e-mail.

Before the rides were set up or the tractor and truck pulls were roaring in the arena, many fairgoers packed the new show barn on Saturday to watch the Beef Breeding show as the fair kicked off last week-end.

Typically held on different days and times, the late Sat-urday afternoon seemed to be just the right time slot for the event, compared to early Saturday morning or week-day start times, according to Beef Show Superintendent Homer Lee Richardson.

“I think it worked out well having it on Saturday. We had a lot more partici-pation, and more people showed up having it in the afternoon,” Richardson said. “I felt like we had a good crowd there watching and more cattle there, too.”

Despite muggy and tepid conditions, attendance of the show was up from past years, he added.

Contestants from Meade and surrounding coun-ties and participants from across the state fi led in to the freshly built barn to show off their prized steers and heifers to judges.

The infl ux in numbers meant a wider variety of classes that were shown, Richardson said.

“If any breed has at least eight animals, we can give it it’s own category. We had a saler, short horn, seminol and some other than angus and Herefords,” Richardson said, who has been the Beef Show superintendent for nearly 15 years.

Typically, the beef show consists of angus, Hereford, short horn and a general All Other Breeds category, but the added participation led to an expansion of catego-ries.

Richardson, who shares the superintendent role with his wife, Kaye, has been involved with the fair for most of his life.

“We’ve always participat-ed in the fair,” he said. “My dad used to be on the fair board, and now my brother is on the fair board.”

As a longstanding partici-pant of the fair, Richardson has noticed a linear involve-ment in the beef shows in Meade County, which was evident based on the amount of Meade County youths who exhibited and fared well in the show.

According to Richard-son, Cody Haught, Kay-lee Compton, Lydia Rich-ardson, Taylor Hobbs and Gracie Fackler were among the surge of Meade County youths competing.

“Most of them are the kids showing,” Richardson said. “And we had more kids showing than we usually did. I always like to see the kids participate. That’s one thing I like about the fair, is you get to see the kids get-ting out and competing in things.”

The 2010 Meade County Fair De-molition Derby winner, Corey Lind-sey, of Brandenburg, had quite the fitting name for his car: 2Tall.

“That’s what everyone calls me,” Lindsey said who stands head and shoulders above all his opponents. “They told me to put it on my car last year.

The 6-foot-5 Brandenburg resident looked strong throughout the night of twisted metal. He came out of the fi rst round with very little dings on his car, however he lost power steering.

“That wore me out,” Lindsey said, who won his first ever demolition derby. “It was really hard when you get hit in the wheels. It was just real-ly hard to turn. With power steering

it’s easy to turn the wheel. But with-out it, it will break your hands.”

During the finals, Lindsay cranked the wheel fiercely while sweating in the hot night, which reached a heat index into triple digits.

“It was hot out,” Lindsey said. “It wears on you.”

Despite the heat and the loss of power steering, Lindsey was still self-confident of his car.

“I had pretty good confi dence when I came into tonight,” he said. “I knew I had a good car. I also knew there were a lot of good cars I was going to have to beat. It was a challenge.”

This is the first demolition derby Lindsey has won in five years of competition. Last year during the fair he made it to the feature event, THE NEWS STANDARD/BEN ACHTABOWSKI

More than a year ago, Little League coaches Jason Lee, Clint Hiner, Brian Col-lin and Steven Waters formed an elite

group of 7-year-old baseball players from around the area. Though they knew they had a special team, they didn’t realize they would have such a dominate team.

“Everyone was playing in their Little League all-star teams and there were some

good players,” Lee said of the team that is made up of players from Meade County, Breckinridge County and Rineyville, Ky. “We thought how about we get the best of

“This is the best I did,” he said. “Last year I came out of my heat, but I didn’t do well in the feature.”

In an event that had mostly local riders, Lindsey thanked the guys he com-peted with.

“I haven’t been out there as long as some of these guys have been,” Lindsey said. “I’m fortunate to be able to run with these guys and learn a few things.”

the best together and see how it goes.”

More than a year lat-er the Ball Hawgs have racked up a 38-2 record, including nine tourna-ment wins, two state championships and won this past weekend’s BPA World Series in Owens-boro, Ky.

This summer the team is competing at the 8-year-old level and have played all types of baseball in-cluding machine pitch, coach’s pitch and kid’s pitch.

“We’ve moved up and played 9-year-olds,” Lee said. “We’ve taken some lumps. It’s a whole dif-ferent style of play when you’re playing kid’s pitch. The ball isn’t coming in at the spot every time.”

With all the accolades, the team didn’t start out as planned. The first tour-nament game the team ever played last fall, they were run-ruled by a team from Litchfield, Ky.

“I felt horrible after that game,” Lee said. “ We all were just sick and thought ‘What did we just get in to?’ But we came back and finished second in the tournament. Then we started to think we had something.”

After coming back and taking second at the tour-nament, they took first in the next tournament they played in.

“These kids amaze me,” Lee said. “While most kids their age are playing G. I. Joes or something, these kids are putting on that uniform and playing like real baseball play-ers. They are smart; they know what to do with the ball when they get it.”

Lee contributes most of the team’s success to defense.

“Our defense is amaz-ing,” he said. “We probably have one of the best 8-year-old defenses around.”

During the World Se-ries tournament the team had only six errors in four games — impressive for most high school teams.

“They hustle all the time,” Lee said. “When we break the huddle they run out to the field. They are ready to play at all times.”

What makes the defense so good is the team chem-istry on and off the field

“The team just mixes well together,” Lee said. “They trust each other. The don’t look at a kid and go, ‘I’m not going to throw it to him.’ They are all equally as good.”

There is talent across the board for the Ball Hawgs and that has been an im-portant strength. During a tournament early this summer at Fort Knox, Lee switched his entire outfield with his infield and the team still won the tournament.

“They are pretty inter-changeable,” Lee said. “I can pretty much throw any kid in any position and have him ready to do well.”

The offense is no slouch either. During the World Series they outscored their opponents 30-9 and in 40 total games they have outscored their op-ponents 459-169.

Along with the play-ers, the parents are just as dedicated. Lee said what gives them an edge is the extra time parents put into hitting kids ground balls or going to the bat-ting cages.

“We may practice only a few hours a week,” he said. “But the kids and parents are putting hours and hours of work on their own.”

With each win, the play-ers share it with a grow-ing fan base.

“Really, this is more like a Ball Hawgs family,” Lee said. “There are grand-parents, aunts, uncles neighbors, everyone you can think of that come out and watch us. We have a lot of fans. I think people are starting to hear how good we are and they want to see what we’re all about.”

After the World Series the Ball Hawgs will per-manently stay in kid’s pitch. But Lee doesn’t worry too much about the transition.

“It’s a whole different ball game, but our kids are up to it,” he said. “We have a lot of kids who can pitch.”

With the World Series championship the team received championship rings. During the opening ceremonies, the team was introduced to a light show.

“The kids really feel like big leaguers,” “They can’t wait to get back to school and show off their cham-pionship rings. I don’t know too many 8-year-

olds who are excited to go back to school, but these kids are.”

While the kids look for-ward to showing off their rings next week at school, their opponents don’t

look forward to seeing them on the field.

“Oh we’re not done yet, we’re playing through October,” Lee said, “and we don’t plan on losing anytime soon.”

Dog’s Marking Doesn’t Do Deck Any Favors

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have two 2-year-old neutered canine brothers (I found out after the fact that it is not a good idea to get them from the same litter). They have lots of forested room to roam, but “Jake” (the dominant one) occasionally insists on peeing on the deck. I can’t catch him at it. Why does he do that, and how can I get him to stop? - Carolyn V., via e-mail

DEAR CAROLYN: That can be tough to stop, since the deck is often considered part of the family living area for everyone, includ-ing the dogs. You’ll need to regain control of the deck area and remind Jake who’s boss.

Whenever the dogs are off-leash, roaming through the yard and woods, block access to the deck and don’t allow them on until you have called them up the steps and clipped a leash on Jake and his brother. You may want to have a second person leash the less-dom-inant dog.

Jake may, at this time, attempt to tug himself over to his usual marking spot, and drag you with him. Give him a fi rm “no” and order him to sit and stay.

At this time you can take his brother inside the house while you work with Jake. For the next several days or weeks, the deck is go-ing to become Training Central. Work with Jake and his brother, separately. Whenever Jake begins to sniff around or tries to mark something, fi rmly tell him “no” and continue giving him basic obe-dience commands. When he follows your commands, and espe-cially when he stops sniffi ng and obeys rather than tries to mark, give him lots of praise and treats (if you choose).

To further discourage marking, clean the areas he has marked and treat with an odor neutralizer.

Q: I can’t believe Melina Ka-nakaredes is leaving my favoriteshow, “CSI: NY.” Who will theyget to replace her? - Maggie F.,Portland, Maine

A: After six years, Melina ishanging up her handcuffs, andtelevision vet Sela Ward is step-ping in to take her place. “Weare delighted to have Sela join-ing ‘CSI: NY,’” ‘showrunner’Pam Veasey announced in July.Ward will play an “experiencedinvestigator from Washington,D.C., whose work is driven byher empathy for the victim.”

Q: I am so happy that season two of “Dark Blue” has started

back up on TNT. What can we expect for the new season? - George F., via e-mail

A: Star Dylan McDermott told me: “We looked at the fi rst season to see what worked and what didn’t work. We decided to make the show a little lighter in tone, added more humor, and the introduction of Alex Rice as my love interest. We’ve opened it up to a wider audience. It’s still gritty and dark, but adding and making changes opened up the show a lot.”

Q: Is it true that Steve Carell is leaving “The Offi ce”? Why? The offi ce will be so empty without him! - David G. in Pennsylvania

A: It’s sad, but true. Everyone’s favorite worst boss will be leaving the show when his contract expires in May 2011. He explained to E! Online that he just felt it was time. But don’t worry, as Steve explains: “It certainly doesn’t mean the end of the show. I think it’s just a dynamic change, which could be a good thing, actually. Add some new life and some new energy. I see it as a positive in general for the show.”

Some good news on the casting front, though, is the return of Amy Ryan as Holly for eight episodes, as well as Melora Hardin as Jan (no word as of yet on how many episodes). I can’t wait to see how Michael handles this one.

Q: I thought Edward Norton was fabulous as Bruce Banner in “The Incredible Hulk.” Why won’t he reprise his role in Marvel’s “The Avengers”? - Jason J., via e-mail

A: The usually private actor recently took to his offi cial Facebook page to discount any rumors that might start swirling because he won’t be the Hulk in “The Avengers.” According to his statement, Marvel did extend the offer for Edward to reprise his role in the new movie, how-ever, he didn’t go into detail as to why the negotiations broke down.

He did state: “It seems it won’t work out for me to continue play-ing Bruce Banner for Marvel in ‘The Avengers.’ I sincerely hoped it could happen and be great for everyone, but it hasn’t turned out as we all hoped. But I am very sincerely grateful to Marvel for extendingthe offer.”

•According to Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the abdominal thrust technique known as the Heimlich Maneuver, the food upon which people most commonly choke is peanut butter straight out of the jar.•Astronauts on the International Space Station see the sun rise every 90 minutes.•You’ve probably heard that Es-kimos have 50 words for different types of snow, but you might not realize that their language doesn’t have a word for just plain snow.•Those who study such things say that every day in the world, 62 square miles of land becomes desert.•When groups of shrimp end up with too few males to sustain the population, some of the females turn into males.•Michael Crichton is best known as an author and screenwriter, and most of his fans are aware of the fact that he was a medical doctor, as well. It’s interesting to note, however, that as an undergraduate student he majored in anthropol-ogy.•If you’re like 80 percent of Ameri-cans, you will experience some kind of back trouble at least once in your lifetime.•Businesswoman Mary Kay Ash, before she founded the Mary Kay Cosmetics empire, sold encyclope-dias door-to-door.•Thought for the Day: “To err is hu-man, but to really foul things up you need a computer.” -- Paul Ehrlich

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid adding to the tension around you. Even a well-meant reaction against something you perceive as unfair could be misunderstood. Let things calm down, and then talk about it.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for romance for unat-tached Bovines, and a good time for reinforcing the bonds between partners. Children’s needs are important during the latter part of the week.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A compliment from a surprising source sends you wafting way up into the clouds, where -- sorry to say -- your view of what’s going on is obscured. Come on down and face some reality.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Even a family-loving person like you sometimes can feel you’re at the end of the line with contentious kinfolk. But things can work out. Remember that it’s better to talk than walk.LEO (July 23 to August 22) A job-related move might hold more posi-tive surprises than you’d expected. Go into it with confi dence, and look for all the advantages it offers. Then decide what you’ll do with what you fi nd.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Driving yourself too hard to get something done on a deadline you set up can backfi re. Ease into a more realistic fi nish date, and add more breaks to your work schedule.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of humor can brighten any dark period, and your laughter can dispel those gray clouds swirling around you. The weekend presents a surprising but welcome change.SCORPIO (October 23 to No-vember 21) Be careful about the words you use, especially in touchy situations. The old Chinese saying that the spoken word is silver, but the unspoken gold could well apply here.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some facts could emerge to shed light on unresolved past problems. What you learn also might help explain why a once-warm relationship suddenly cooled down.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t let your pride get in the way of checking into what could be a great new opportunity. Get the facts fi rst, and worry about procedure and protocol later.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A health problem in the family might have other relatives assuming that, as before, you’ll take over the health-care duties. Surprise them and insist they share in the care taking.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A series of changes can be unset-tling, but in the long run, it can pay off with new perspectives on what you plan to do. Keep your mind open to the possibilities that might well lie ahead.BORN THIS WEEK: You might be under a “royal” sign, but you have a wonderful way of embracing everyone as an equal.

Meade teens claim bass fi shing world championshipSubmitted by Frank Raymer

and Bass Federation

Jared Raymer and Ethan Snyder, from Meade County High School, sealed the deal July 24 with a sweet victory on the fi nale of the inaugu-ral 2010 High School Fish-ing World Finals on Lake Dardanelle in Arkansas.

Both walked away with $4,000 a year, renewable for four years, scholarships totaling $16,000 a piece or $32,000 from Bethel Uni-versity, spots on the Bethel University Varsity Fish-ing team, $500 Cabelas gift cards, new Compaq lap-tops, a Berkley Prize Pack-age including a Revo Reel and 30 percent Pure Fish-ing on the TBF Web site, plus some heavy jewelry.

The weights were zeroed for the fi nal day of compe-tition, making the playing fi eld level and the weigh-in intense. Raymer and Synder were the last to the stage.

With only the team from North Canyon High School in their way, the Meade County team excited the crowd and themselves as the scale read 16 pounds 2 ounces, pulling them ahead by 2 pounds to win it.

Raymer and Snyder earned the right to be called champions and did so with class. Throughout the event these anglers displayed consistency, determination and sportsmanship at ev-ery corner. In the end, their teamwork paid off.

“We found this one grass mat that held our fi sh the whole week,” Raymer said. “We were throwing a strike king with a Rage Shad on it and we lived and died by the sword on that spot. If there were no fi sh there we would have

been in trouble all week.” “Yeah, we just circled

around, circled around, cir-cled around,” Snyder added.

They proved to be consis-tent in their improvements each day. Day one with three fi sh, day two with four, and the fi nal day, with fi ve fi sh, both anglers stuck to their topwater pattern and never gave up.

“It just got better every day because we dialed in on what we needed to be doing,” Snyder said.

“It’s actually funny be-cause we came into this event thinking a swim jig was what was going to work for us, and half way through the fi rst day we just randomly tried out that Rage Shad; we had never thrown the bait in our lives,” Raymer said. “It

paid out big for us.”The winning team was

not the only team who won big; the remaining top six teams did not leave home empty-handed. The sec-ond place fi nishers, Thom-as Chambers and Brandon Koon of North Canyon High School, caught fi ve fi sh weighing 14 pounds 8 ounces and were awarded trophies, $300 Cabela’s gift cards, mini laptops and a Berkley Package including a Revo Reel and 30 percent Pure Fishing on TBF web. The third place team was Sawyer Grace and Aus-ten Cathcart of Russell-ville High School. They caught fi ve fi sh weighing 12 pounds 3 ounces and received trophies, $200 Ca-bela’s gift cards, Flat Screen HD TVs and a Berkley

Package including a Revo Reel and 30% of Pure Fish-ing on TBF web. In fourth, the team from Dover High School, Austin Moody and Aimee Cresswell with four fi sh weighing 10 pounds 14 ounces. They received $200 Cabela’s gift cards, two WII’s and Berkley’s Prize Package.

In fi fth, Jonny Schultz and Thomas Rose, Jr. from Episcopal Collegiate High School had three fi sh weigh-ing 8 pounds 5 ounces. They received $150 Cabela’s gift

cards two Ipod touches and the Berkley Prize Package.

Sam Starr and Brady Sherman from McPherson High School came in sixth and received $100 Cabela’s gift cards, two portable DVD Players and the Berk-ley Prize Package.

In seventh, was the team from Farragut High School who received $50 Cabela’s gift cards, two Ipod Shuf-fl es and the Berkley Prize Package.

In addition to the top seven’s winnings, one lucky

member of the crowd won a $1,000 Cabela’s gift card by entering his name in a drawing we advertised all week and a TBF high school fi shing member also won a Wii from winning a dance/surfboard competition we had at the Friday night Cel-ebration Party. There were many opportunities to win prizes and several of the high school anglers went home with tons of merchan-dise, and hopefully a week they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Lewis and Wanda Shacklette

Meade County natives Lewis and Wanda Shacklette celebrated their 78th and 69th birthdays Saturday night poolside at their daughter, Lisa Shacklette Del Valle’s, home in Ormond Beach , Fla.

The party had a luau theme with women dressed in grass skirts and everyone wearing leis. Those attending took turns in the hula-hoop contest, while many longtime friends and family reminisced with the guests of honor.

The youth attending the event took turns in the pool and Del Valle pulled out all of the stops with a tiki bar and Hawaiian-style cuisine at the buffet line.

Lewis was born in Meade County and lived 40 of his 78 years here, while Wanda was born in Valley Sta-tion, Ky., and was a resident of Meade County for more than two decades. While both have hundreds of family in the area and still visit frequently they are spending their retirement years in Ormond, Fla., just north of Daytona Beach, Fla.

Lewis still actively rides his Harley-Davidson and Wanda is very involved with their properties and grand-children. They share the same birthday, July 26, but this year’s birthday was celebrated two days early.

Among those attending included the Shacklettes’ grandsons, Brandon and Antonio Del Valle, Carter and Chandler Shacklette, their son-in-law, Rafael Del Valle, daughter-in-law, Christy Shacklette, son, Buddy Shack-lette and Lewis’ sister, Sue Shacklette Cummings.
