A9 Applications being taken for wildlife habitat program USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications for the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP). Landowners may apply for WHIP at any time. However, applications received by January 29 will be evalu- ated and considered for the 2010 program year. Applications received after that date will be held until the next evaluation period. WHIP provides land users an opportunity to improve wild- life habitat. The program provides financial incentives for in- stalling eligible practices on land they own or control. The land user must devote at least 10 acres to eligible wildlife practices. In Kentucky, the primary focus of WHIP is to improve early successional and forestland habitats for declining species and other wildlife. Restoring remnant prairies, planting native grasses, shrubs and trees are some of the eligible practices for the program. Other eligible practices include implementing for- est stand improvements and creating shallow water areas. Ex- cluding livestock from sensitive streams and woodlands is also an important focus under Kentucky’s 2010 WHIP. Since WHIP focuses on improvement to wildlife cover, food plots are not eligible under the program. WHIP applications are evaluated and ranked to determine which applications provide the most beneficial habitats. For more information about the program, call the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Information Center at 1-800-858-1549 and ask for the name and telephone number of the private lands biolo- gist serving your area. Money tips for college students The low temperatures Old Man Winter has dealt the county since the first of the year has caused Lake Linville to freeze over. Since January 1st, the mercury in the county had not climbed over 29 degrees until Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday morning the low temperature recorded at the Cox Funeral Home How to make it, Weather Station was seven and twice in January the temperature dropped to five degrees above zero. use it and save it (Photo by: Richard Anderkin). Plan your financial goals Students with jobs are encouraged to set long-term financial goals beyond paying the current month’s bills. The biggest goal should be to save money for retirement. For college students, another important goal is to graduate with as little debt as possible. Financial goals may also include sav- ing for a vacation or a new car. Whatever the goal, have a plan to achieve it. To plan for your financial future, make a list of your short and long-term goals. Estimate how much you will set aside from each paycheck to save for those goals. Make sure your estimate is reasonable. You will have a better idea of how to reach your goals when you know for how long you will need to save. That may mean cutting back on some things such as dining out or shopping. It might even mean getting a part-time job, if your schedule permits. Remember that how much you earn may affect your finan- cial aid package. Dependent students are expected to be able to use more of their earnings to pay for college because the finan- cial aid system assumes their parents are paying for most of the students’ day-to-day expenses. Whatever your goal may be, you have a much better chance of reaching it if you have a plan in place. To learn how to plan and prepare for higher education, go to www.GoHigherKY.org.

Ford Brothers Auctioneers-Realtors Add On-Line Auction Service with MarkNet Alliance Ford Brothers Auctioneers-Realtors, with offices in Somerset, Mt Vernon and London, are celebrating 45 years of successful operations assisting clients all over the South- east. Ford Brothers commitment to ensuring all clients have the most responsive and impactful advertising and marketing for listings and auctions has been greatly en- hanced with the strategic alliance with MarkNet Alliance, a web based company dedicated to marketing on site and hosting online auctions of real estate and personal prop- erty. This alliance allows Ford Brothers clients to benefit from a nationwide audience of buyers and sellers by use of the World Wide Web. According to the National Association of Realtors, us- ing Internet to search for property has risen dramatically. Just 2% of buyers used it in 1995, but that rose to 83% in 2006. “In our beta testing of this product in our market we have seen a vast increase in unique viewers to auctions and listings on our web site, and for us to have the ability to hold an on-line auction for our clients has huge benefits such as negating any concerns with inclimate weather, time frames for getting an audience for the sale; and a host of other logistical issues”, says Devin Ford of Ford Brothers. Real estate auctions continue to be one of the fastest grow- ing marketing sectors, generating 58.4 billion dollars in 2007, up 5.3% from the previous year nationwide. “While live …on-site auctions will continue to be a staple of the industry, adding the alliance with MarkNet… and our ability to draw on our award winning marketing and advertising resources, allows Ford Brothers to keep out in front in serving our customers”, says Matt Ford. To check out the online auction features added to their web site you can visit fordbrothersinc.com. EMT Class Scheduled Stanford EMS & Rescue Inc. will host an EMT class, beginning around February 1, 2010. Anyone interested needs to call 606-356-2833 or 365-2957 and ask for Ashley, Jeff or Linda or you can come by the building and pick up an application at 100 South Second Street, Stanford, Ky. 40484.

We have been blessed with seven beautiful children. Six of them are currently enrolled in the Rockcastle County Public School System. Little Cody lives with Jesus. My occupation and hobbies are husband, Daddy, neighbor and farmer. I love them all. I must confess to feeling some virtue leave me when I finally decided to enter the race for 5th District Magistrate. But with the Tax Zone, Spend Zone, and increased Debt Zone direction of this Fiscal Court, I feel this is the noble thing to do. Thank you for the support and encouragement I have received from neighbors, family and friends in regard to this decision. “Please God grant me the grace and resolve to be a fiscal and moral conservative voice for all the people of the 5th district.” Win or lose. With this said, I must voice some concerns of mine and many others of the 5th District: 1. I am strongly against any type of countywide zoning or permitting. 2. We must cherish and be vigilant to maintain all of our individual rights as property owners. 3. Where every citizen can do their own planning with their own property. 4. I would like the opportunity to work with and be part of a more conservative minded Fiscal Court to find less taxing ways to meet the needs of our county for job growth, road maintenance and development. 5. We are the people who are now paying this new occupational tax. We are paying for this Fiscal Court’s irresponsible spending practices in the past. 6. But hopefully not in the future. 7. Progress should not mean deeper in debt and more taxes. I look forward to meeting all the people I can of the 5th district, to ask for your vote and listen to any concerns you might have. Your vote and support will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to call me at 606-256-4582 Thank You, Michael P. McGuire Candidate 5th District Magistrate Paid for by candidate Pg. A6 The Mt.
